Hour 1: Knicks Season Opener · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Wow, I'm going to pimp off of what the Knicks
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: coach said last night. After they lost their opening game,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: banners down, world championship rings given out, Madison Square Garden,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the Mecca of basketball.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: And let me just say, I predicted that. We'll get
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: into that later on.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: But Coach Mike Brown said, yeah, our starting five look
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: like they were running in mud.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Fatigue. And there's reasons for that. And these are young men,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: you know, their testosterone crashing through their cranium.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: They'll never have more energy than at this point in
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: their life. But we ourselves are champions here at 710WR,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the most listened to talk station in New York. And
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the recent ratings prove that. The guy in the morning there,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: you know, WABC, Israel first. Jews, Muslims, Zorhan is a terrorist,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: is wearing thin. Man, the demos were incredible. We'll get
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: to that maybe tomorrow. But I will tell you this.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I must salute you, Larry and Natalie, as veterans, because
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: you are in a cycle now where you're going to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: have to be fighting off fatigue.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Let me give you their schedules, right?
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: We've got the pre-election coverage right now going right on
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: up to November 3rd itself. Then all-night coverage on November
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: 3rd that Larry and Natalie and others here will be
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: involved in. Best coverage in all of radio. Then you've
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: got to be back the very next day. Then before
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: you know it, you grab a little sleep. November 1st,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: you're doing live coverage of the New York City Marathon.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: The whole world will be listening. So if ever there
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: was a point where you veterans would be fatigued, It
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: would be in this cycle.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I would think so.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: And I was so happy to learn about two weeks
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: ago that you, Larry, on a normal day, drink about 14,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: 15 cups of caffeinated coffee.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I still can't.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: I think he's actually tamed down that number a little bit.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It varies.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: It varies from day to day because I've already had
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: four cups this morning.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, my. And so, you know, that big thing I
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: bring in that.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: Which is two cups.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Takes two cups.
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: That's two cups. And then I've had two more. So
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: I drink a lot of coffee. But listen, what you're
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: talking about, like in a schedule for a regular news reporter.
• 2:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you're covering stories all night long.
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: And sometimes you, you know, for instance, when I was anchoring,
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: when there's a snowstorm, you're on all day.
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: And then you're up the next morning early. They get
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: a hotel. You're up the next morning early. You're back on.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: So this is the job. This is what we do.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. And you've done it for
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: how many Emmys have you won in your lifetime?
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: 97.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: We are going to talk about awards tomorrow because the
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: guy over at WABC thinks he's getting the biggest award ever. Oh,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: we're going to bust this bubble tomorrow. What's the biggest
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: award ever? I have permission from Tom Cuddy. We're going
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to do a deep dive.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Well, just tell me what the award is. The New
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: York State... TV and Radio Hall of Fame. Oh, okay. Okay,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I won it in 2013. Yeah.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: It's nice, but that's like you got to first base.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: You and I, Natalie, we're on third base. We're going
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: for the National Radio Hall of Fame. But we'll get
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: into it tomorrow. Yeah, there's so many Hall of Fames.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I'm in three. So just to show you how insignificant some.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Of them are. You're the best. I've been in this
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: business 35 years. But 2013, I won that award. Oh, man,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: you're listening to W. Did they put you in your
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: high school Hall of Fame? No, remember, they kicked me
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: out in high school. But from prep, they shined their
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: boots on my backside, kicked me to the curb.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: I don't even know if my high school has a
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: Hall of Fame.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: We do.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: Tottenville High School, is there a Hall of Fame out there?
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Purple Pirates. Purple Pirates, you're right.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: When I was inducted into the Hall of Fame, that's
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: when I told the story about the priest who used.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: To take us on trips.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, probably not the best story that you could have told, Larry.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering, Larry. I'm wondering.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Look, even the president himself has been admiring the ass
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: of a U.S.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Senator from Ohio.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: He never touched me. I don't know why he didn't
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: like me. I mean, apparently the other people he liked. Larry,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: it happens to us.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I was holding hands with Zara Mondami and people said
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: that was homoerotic.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: It happens. I was a cute kid. What was wrong
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: with me? Oh, my God. You were prime meat. By
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the way, were you an altar boy?
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: No, they threw me off the older boys for making
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: fun of Mike Dick's name.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Thank God they did. But let's get to fatigue here.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Let me give you the facts.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Fatigue is the main or secondary reason for 10% to 20%
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: of all consultations that you seek from your primary care physician.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: You know, you just went through this, Natalie, how difficult
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: it is to even get an appointment of late. I mean,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you miss that appointment, you'll be waiting a month or
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Sunday for the next one.
• 4:55
  Speaker 8: Absolutely.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Imagine 10 to 20% of the people, many of them
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: listening right now, the reason they go to their primary
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: care physician is, doc, I feel fatigued. I'm tired.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: You know, right away the doctor would, hey, you know,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you're getting older. This happens when you get older. And
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: then they'll recommend to guys, this is the latest, testosterone therapy.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: You know, your testosterone is low, they do the blood test.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: For women, it's sort of like, well, you're multitasking, you know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: because the guy doesn't do as much work in the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: house as you. So maybe you have to delegate some
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: of the work to him. Oh, that'll never happen. That
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: causes then a mental health care crisis for the ladies.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: But a lot of people marvel at the energy that
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I have. And you've observed it, Larry, Natalie, you've observed it,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: people have observed it. You know what?
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: Your energy exhausts me.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: It does.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: That's a great line.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: The Knicks could have used that last night on the hardwood.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: But it appears that I am one of those rare exceptions.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: We know that President Donald Trump is a rare exception.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: The guy almost never goes to sleep.
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: Never. Never.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Thomas Edison was known for that.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Four hours a night, in fact, to force himself to
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: get up in nearby Edison, New Jersey, he would put
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: his feet above his navel on the desk. And what
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: that does is it causes your kidneys to growl at
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: about four hours into the sleep. You are the nastiest
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: SOB you can imagine when you get up because you've
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: got to go relieve yourself.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: You can't go back to sleep. I know.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I've tried that Edison remedy. But apparently there's a rare exception.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: A genetic variation, 1% of the population only needs four
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: to five hours naturally to wake up refreshed. Most everybody
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: out seven to nine hours minimal. You see, I am
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: that genetic exception. I'm trying to figure out why my dad, right,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: he obviously would get normal sleep. My mom would get
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: normal sleep. I just don't understand it.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: You know, it's funny, the word fatigue, I just looked
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: it up because I wanted to see how many people
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: suffered from it, but this is what it says about it.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Fatigue is extreme, persistent tiredness and a lack of energy
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: that will not go away with rest.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Did you know that?
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: No, I never knew that that is actually a medical
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: condition that you can have. And it doesn't matter how
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: much sleep you get. You're still going to be fatigued.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: So I, I've, I don't think I've ever been fatigued,
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: but man, I, you know, some people out there, they
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: have to go seek treatment for that.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: And it's not just sleep that's going to cure it. Yeah.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: And a lot of times if you depend on caffeine,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: which is a legal drug, everybody acknowledges caffeine is a drug.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: You get an initial blast and then you crash.
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: An initial blast. I went through that whole syndrome. I
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: would drink.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Two 48-ounce bottles of Coca-Cola while doing a program, a.m.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: and p.m., because sometimes they do two shifts. Can't do
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: that anymore. But there are some people, they live on caffeine.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: You happen to be one of them. It benefits you.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: It gets your motor going, your motor. You have the
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: biggest job of everybody here because you live the furthest away.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: You have to drive. You get in here early when
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: we're not even here. You're cutting up tape. You're doing research.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: So by the time we get here, You've already spent
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: half your day here.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm ready to sleep.
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: Thanks, Larry, for doing it all. Appreciate it. But no,
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: you do. You do have a crazy schedule, and you
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: do work all day.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: All day.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'll text you, and you're doing something. But
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: it is interesting about the fatigues.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, thank you. Thank you. Watch that microphone, okay? Most definitely.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Because that is the first thing doctors say now when
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: you're going for your annual physical, you know, are you tired?
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: Are you resting enough? But the fatigue, I can always,
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: if I'm exhausted, I could sleep and I feel better.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: I didn't know it was a condition. I mean, I
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: just figured you have fatigue, you didn't get enough sleep.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: Get some sleep and you'll be fine. I never knew
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: that that was a condition. Maybe somebody that's listening knows
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: all about that, and maybe there's somebody out there that
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: suffers from that. If you want to leave us a talkback,
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: just go to 710WOR. com, and then you'll see the talkback feature.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: You can set a preset for 710WOR, as a matter
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: of fact, while you're there. And don't forget, the best
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: talkback of the week takes home a seed crane radio.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: The best talkback of the day, of course, takes home
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: a Curtis and Larry in the morning t-shirt I think
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: I messed that up for a second you go to
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: the iHeart radio app and you set a preset for
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: 710WOR it's under the 710WOR section that the talkback.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Feature is and then Larry you discovered one of my
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: secrets right after the program I'll go into one of
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the side studios make my call so it doesn't interfere
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: with everything and all of a sudden, I'll nod out
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: for a few minutes.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And you're gone. And you are. It's amazing.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: It really is amazing. I told you the story. I
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: did a story on sleep deprivation one time.
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: And they took me to a sleep clinic. And they
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: told me, and they put things all over me, you know,
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: like sensors all over me. And they told me, okay,
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: we're going to let you sleep. They sent me, took
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: me into a dark room, completely dark room. And I
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: fell asleep. And then they came and they woke me
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: up and said, how long were you asleep? I said,
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: I don't know, four or five hours. And they said,
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: you were asleep for 10 minutes because you fell into REM.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: You were so tired. You fell right into REM. And
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: that's really all you need.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: And that, I think, is what I do. To be alert. Yeah.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Like Tom Cuddy the other day said, oh, I passed
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the studio. You were dead asleep. I didn't want to
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: disturb you. I said, I wasn't sleeping.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: But I was.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: For a very brief period of time.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: And that may well be what contributes to the fact
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: that I only need like four to five hours a night.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, please give us a talk back, because
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: I know this is a real problem across America and
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: across our listening area if you don't get enough sleep
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: and how you deal with that. Now, let's talk about
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: Christina Applegate, because Christina Applegate, turns out she doesn't have MS.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: She doesn't have multiple sclerosis, and she's really upset about that.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: We'll tell you why. Plus, a chance to see Journey
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: at age 25. Well, you know, Christina Applegate, the actress
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: from she was Kelly Bundy. Remember that in Married with Children?
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: And she's won awards. She's won Golden Globe. She's won
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: Emmys for and she's been in several movies, mostly rom-coms
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: or comedy movies. And just a couple of years back,
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. And since then, she
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: has been an advocate in fighting multiple sclerosis and talking
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: to groups. And now all of a sudden, she went
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: for an appointment, a doctor's appointment, and she was.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Told, there's good news. Good news. You don't really have MS.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: But she didn't take it as good news at all.
• 12:10
  Speaker 9: I had a reason. I had a f * * *
• 12:12
  Speaker 9: ing reason as to why my day sucked every day.
• 12:16
  Speaker 9: And now I don't have a reason. And it's... Very
• 12:20
  Speaker 9: unnerving and it's really confusing for me.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: She said they were so happy in the doctor's office
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: and she felt like crying because at least she knew
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: what she was fighting before. Now she's been years with
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: a disease and they don't know what it is that
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: she has. She was really upset.
• 12:39
  Speaker 9: You don't get misdiagnosed and then all of a sudden
• 12:41
  Speaker 9: I'm better.
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: I haven't gotten better, Jamie. If anything, I've gotten worse
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: in some ways.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: She was talking to Jamie Lynn Sigler on her podcast.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: You remember her from playing meadow on the Sopranos. Everybody's
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: got a podcast now, but no, she, she broke down crying.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I feel like I let everybody down, you know?
• 13:04
  Speaker 9: No, it's this weird feeling of like, I became like this,
• 13:10
  Speaker 9: you know, you and I, the poster children for MS.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I gotta say, I don't understand this.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: My mother-in-law, has had MS for many, many years, and,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: you know, medication and it affects her. We just recently
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: saw America's weatherwoman, Fox News Channel, in the morning, Janice Steen,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: retire because MS has just sapped her energy.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: I think I'd be happy. I don't have MS.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know what I have yet, but at least
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: we've eliminated that. But if you have the symptoms, if
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: you still have these horrible symptoms... Now, what you're being
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: told is we don't know what it is. We don't
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: know what's wrong.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: All right. But isn't that worse?
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: At least with modern medical science, they can start testing
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: other things. If they thought you just had MS, you're
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: on an MS regimen of drugs that probably are having
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: no impact on you whatsoever.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: What are they going to test? What are they going
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: to test? They don't even know what she has. I mean,
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: not knowing, I think.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Would be worse than knowing what it is. At least
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: you know what to deal with. I disagree.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: And I'm sure she's going to have to process this.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: This is going to take some time because she has
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: lived and she has become an advocate for MS. And
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: now apparently she doesn't have it. So now she one
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: has to figure out what she has to hopefully get
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: treated for that.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: This is this is definitely a psychological roller coaster.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: I can understand why she says she's so upset because now,
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: at least before she was getting some type of treatment,
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: they don't even know what to treat.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Now, that's awful. All right. Let's get some talkbacks. I
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: average about four or four and a half hours a night,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: mostly my whole life. And I'll be 68 soon. I'm
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: like Curtis, nonstop. I set goals every day. I achieve them.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I'm diligent.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I'm focused. I have some coffee, not too much. But
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: above all, I just never needed much sleep. And look
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: at Trump. He's 80.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I'm only 72. He never drinks coffee. You know, Diet Coke,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: that has caffeine, a lot of them. But, I mean,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: that guy gets up morning, noon, and night. Remember, he's
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: tweeting out at 2, 3 in the morning on his
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: social networking. That guy gets way less sleep than I do.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of very famous people got very little sleep.
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: You talk about fatigue, I have the opposite. I am
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: quite like Curtis. The most hours of sleep I can get,
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: barring any crazy nightly activity... It's about four to five hours.
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: That's why I call you up so amped up, so
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: ready to go right away. I am telling you, if
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: I get four hours of sleep, I'm lucky. I'm like, whoa,
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: deep sleep. Hey, have a great show, guys.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Woo, let's go. He's taking something.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: I hope he doesn't go behind the wheel.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I hope it's just coffee. Testosterone therapy.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: Or should we say, can I have what he's having?
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly right.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Now let's get the news at 6.30 with Daria Albinger.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Daria.
• 16:09
  Speaker 10: Maybe a little decaf for him.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: I love his energy. Bright, cool, and breezy today.
• 16:17
  Speaker 10: A high of 66 degrees. The search is on for
• 16:20
  Speaker 10: a gunman who shot and killed a man involved in
• 16:23
  Speaker 10: a crash. The jersey-bound lanes of the GWB, which tied
• 16:27
  Speaker 10: up traffic for hours, police say it was a drive-by.
• 16:30
  Speaker 10: The victim had a gunshot wound to the head when
• 16:31
  Speaker 10: he was pulled from the vehicle. A sanitation worker in
• 16:34
  Speaker 10: Westchester County stabbed on the job. It happened yesterday in
• 16:37
  Speaker 10: Mount Vernon.
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: Cops say it happened around 8.20 a.m. when a man
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: holding two knives began confronting the workers. In a cell
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: phone video, the suspect can be heard complaining that the
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: noise woke him up as workers attempt to defend themselves
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: with baseball bats. The victim was stabbed on the arm
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: and in the abdomen. He was taken to the hospital
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: and listed in stable condition. Authorities took a person of
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: interest into custody at the scene. Charges are pending. I'm
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: Lizzie Radabali, WOR News.
• 17:06
  Speaker 10: Federal agents are investigating several adult daycare centers here in
• 17:09
  Speaker 10: the city. They say it's part of a larger probe
• 17:11
  Speaker 10: into alleged health care fraud. President Trump continues his pre-midterm
• 17:16
  Speaker 10: campaign blitz today with a stop in South Carolina.
• 17:18
  Speaker 11: He has kept up a really aggressive pace on the
• 17:21
  Speaker 11: campaign trail. He was over the weekend in Georgia and Kentucky.
• 17:25
  Speaker 11: On Monday, it was Kansas. Last night in North Carolina.
• 17:28
  Speaker 11: He's going to have stops later this week in South Carolina, Iowa,
• 17:32
  Speaker 11: and then is expected to be in Michigan and Georgia
• 17:35
  Speaker 11: over the weekend. And yesterday he teased that he would
• 17:37
  Speaker 11: be back in Ohio next week to campaign for Senator
• 17:40
  Speaker 11: John Husted. Not yet scheduled, but already announcing that he
• 17:43
  Speaker 11: is going to be doing that.
• 17:45
  Speaker 10: That's ABC's Karen Travers. A satellite slowdown which impacted the
• 17:50
  Speaker 10: Ukrainian military last week was reportedly ordered by Elon Musk.
• 17:55
  Speaker 10: The Wall Street Journal says he capped the speeds at
• 17:57
  Speaker 10: which Ukrainian hardware could stay connected to the Starlink network,
• 18:01
  Speaker 10: rendering some of the drones useless. The report also claims
• 18:04
  Speaker 10: that Musk discussed it with the president. The Knicks lost
• 18:07
  Speaker 10: to Philadelphia. The Nets opened their season tonight against Charlotte.
• 18:09
  Speaker 10: The Devils and the Islanders win. Next news, 7 o'clock,
• 18:12
  Speaker 10: bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I was right. The Curtis Lee was super sports spectacular.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: I'm a lifetime Knicks fan, but I can tell. I
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: can tell. Too much fatigue, all these endorsements, appearance fees
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: in the offseason. After 53 years, we won the championship.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I told Larry, lifelong Sixers fan, that the Sixers would
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: win with LeBron James, and they did. We'll break it
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: down for you up next. You should have. Should have
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: listened to me out there, ladies and gentlemen. I'm a
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: tried and true Knick fan. I go way back before
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: 70-73 when they won their last two championships against the Lakers.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Then the 53-year drought. Sometimes they got close. but no cigar.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I remember going to games in the old garden, a
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: buck 50 with a student government organization pass. You could
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: bag your own lunch or at night, nobody stopped you.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Now you need a reverse mortgage and a payday loan
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: to go to a game. But Larry, I said, as
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: much as I love the Knicks, I don't really like
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: the 76ers and I don't like LeBron James, but I
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: could tell. with this being the championship year, they raised
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the banners, they gave out the rings. I just know
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: what happens. It's off-season, and the Knicks are everywhere, all
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: the Knicks. Even guys you couldn't identify if your life
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: depended on it before the championship year, everybody wants them.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Bar mitzvahs will pay you $ 250, 000. All you got to
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: do is just come and toast the bar mitzvah boy
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: or bar mitzvah girl or marriages. Just come in and
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: toast $ 250, 000. And the agents are saying, get it this year, man,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: because you don't know what it's going to be like
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: in years after.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Endorsements, appearance fees.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: So I was very interested in the post-game analysis. Mike Brown,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: very good coach, came out and said, look, my starting
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: five looked like they were running in mud.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: They had fatigue.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: And I think part of that fatigue was that they
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: really haven't had a good training camp. They really weren't
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: doing a lot of off-season training like when they were hungry.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: And it may take them a little bit of time
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: to get back to their sea legs because the Sixers
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: showed you exactly how to beat the Knicks.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what. I hope you're wrong about all
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: of that. And I'm not saying you are. I'm just
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: saying it's a hope that you're wrong because you never
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: won a team that that is going to either party
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: or look for money so much they can't separate the two.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: And they go into a season flat, especially after they
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: saw what they did to this city. I mean, this
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: city became alive. This city had this heart among it
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: that everybody was together for that one day or even
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: the whole series. For weeks and weeks and weeks, everybody
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: came together as Knicks fans. So for them, if you're right,
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: that they didn't take this game or this season seriously
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: because they were all thinking of themselves and how much
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: money they could make, they should– Follow their star, Jalen Brunson,
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: who took a pay cut, pay cut to get here
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: so they could hire other players. By the way, that
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: ceremony beforehand was wonderful. The raising of the banner.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: A little long, but it was... It was produced. Your guy,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Dolan, he puts together a good show.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, pay your property taxes, Jimmy. $ 46 million you don't pay.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: But let's face it.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: He's forgiven for everything right now.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: Let me just play Jalen Brunson because he was part
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: of that opening ceremony, and he was really good.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: This is unbelievable. This is really a dream come true.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: And this guy's loved right now in this city.
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: I know we're all excited to get this season going.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: We're ready to turn the page as a team. But
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: one thing I would like to say, the joy that
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: this city had this summer, we would love to replicate
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: that again.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: And then the next thing he said is, let's raise
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: the banner. And then they started raising the banner.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: How long does it take to raise a banner? Oh,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: my God.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: That was the slowest banner ever.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: 53-year drought campaign. I don't care if it inched up.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: It did inch up. It did inch up.
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: Centimeters at a time.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: There's a certain point where you're like, can we play
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: the game? Can we get to the game?
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: So they got to the game, and your team, the Sixers,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: proved to be so much better than the Knicks. First off,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Maxie was just flying up and down the court like
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: the Wallenda brothers.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: I said it yesterday on the air. He's the best
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: player on the team.
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: I don't care. Everybody else has bigger names. Everybody else
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: has MVPs. Tyrese Maxie is the best player on that team.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: And LeBron James proved that he knew exactly what his
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: place is on what I believe may well be the
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: NBA championship team, the Philadelphia 76ers. There was a point
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: where a fan in the stands engaged him, talking about, oh,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: you helicopter back and forth. I think he made a
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: comment about Kobe Bryant.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. And, you know, who jumped in as
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: the peacemaker?
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was dressed like Superfly TNT, you know,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: from the pimp days on Times Square.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Spike Lee was the peacemaker.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: That's when you recognize, man, this ain't going to be
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: like it typically is because he's normally the one who
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: throws the gasoline on the fire.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: But the Sixers, you could see they were hungry.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: The Knicks, I'm telling you, you mentioned Brunson giving up
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: money so that other players could be hired.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: You're absolutely right.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Carl Anthony Towns would be getting $ 50 million a year.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: He's not the best center in the NBA. He's good.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: He's a Jersey boy. He should know better. But now
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: he's moping. He's complaining. Why do I have to wait
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: after the season to see if they're going to extend
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: my contract?
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Shut up and play. Wouldn't he be an incredible center?
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: He might be the best in the league if he
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: didn't get in foul trouble every single game.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: He can only play half the game.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Because he gets two fouls in the first quarter, and
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: then they have to sit him so they can have
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: him at the end. But in the playoffs, every single
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: game in the playoffs, he was in foul trouble.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: And I don't know what it is. I don't know
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: how you coach that out of a person. Like, don't
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: smack people. How about that?
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: No, that's a part of him when he was with
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: the Timberwolves.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: It's just a part of his game. I don't think
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: you can change him now.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: He can be great at times, stellar, especially when he
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: comes out to the key.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: He forces the big man to come out to the key.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: That means they can't sweep the boards, the opposition, because
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: he'll dole out passes. He was doing that in the
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: playoffs and in the championship game. And by the way,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: what happened to Gumby from the San Antonio Spurs? I'll
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: bet you Saturday, the new day of outrage in Paris,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: he'll be the guy seven foot two dressed in black
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: to a Molotov cocktails. You notice he hasn't commented on that. Oh,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: before he was texting, tweeting. He was like giving commentary
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: on everything. He's the pride of France.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Guess what? You don't even hear about Gumby anymore. Yeah,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: I'm sure they told him to shut up if you
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: want to keep playing and getting your money. But he's
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: going to be in the finals again. San Antonio will
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: be in the finals again.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, he's great. There's no doubt.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, I was very impressed with the
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia 76ers.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: And remember, they want revenge. They were embarrassed last year.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: I want to be the girl in the room and
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: talk about that ring.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: But 80%, that's right. That ring is amazing. That ring
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: was insane. It was amazing.
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: It opens up to a little Madison Square Garden.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: I've seen it. Yeah, I saw it. That's incredible. Let
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: me predict something. But you can't wear that ring.
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: No, you cannot.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Let me predict right now.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: A lot of these guys will be going to post-game parties,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: like they always do, you know, till like the break
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: of dawn. One of them is going to get robbed
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: at gunpoint.
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: Oh, that ring.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Because they're going to be wearing the rings, many of them.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Some of them won't. They'll keep it in the house
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: in a safe or they'll keep it on display. Some
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: of them will want to be styling and profiling at
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: the club.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Big mistake.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: The homeboys are going to be eye fornicating that and
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: they'll stick you up at gunpoint.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: They've done that before.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: 800 diamonds and sapphires totaling 22 carats.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Boy, you get a lot at a pawn shop for that.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: That's for sure. There's this huge.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: Outrage right now in New Jersey over ICE, but they
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: have the situation completely wrong.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: It doesn't seem to matter these days. Politicians still go out.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: There's still going to be protests all because of what
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: amounts to just questioning somebody sitting on a bench. We'll
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: talk about it when we come back. Back taxes.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: Do you realize that ICE picks up? and deports about
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: 50,000 people a month. If you didn't know that, that's
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: because that's not covered. The only thing that gets covered
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: ever is when they do something that the media thinks, aha,
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: we got them. It is gotcha coverage. It's not showing
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: how many criminals they took off the streets. Of that 50,000,
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: by the way, 72% they're saying in the last two
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: months were criminals. The only times they go after people
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: that aren't criminals is when they have to go after criminals,
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: but then they have to take everybody else out. They
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: have to, by law.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: They have to. They're required to.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: They have to check everybody's immigration status that's there, and
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: sometimes they take the family out, and sometimes they take
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: anybody that's there that happens to be on the street
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: out as well. That's how it works. All the states
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: that just hand over these criminals... after they're in prison,
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: don't have that problem. There, the rate is 90%. 90%
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: of the people that are picked up by ICE are criminals.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: That's who they're going after now. Other people just get
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: caught in that net.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: But again, the.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: Only time you hear about them is when there's a
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: shooting or they picked up the wrong person. All of
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: the other people they're taking, let me just give you
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: one quick example. They took all of these, they have
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: something called the gang sting right now, where they've taken
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: 1,200 people off the street, 1,200 people off the street
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: in the last two weeks who are affiliated with MS-13
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: or Trend de Aragua. Now, the problem is when you
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: hear that, you go, oh, that's a good thing. But
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: you don't hear that. Nobody reports that. And why is that?
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: That's bias by omission. There is a bias media that's
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: only covering when ICE has a mishap. And so now
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: I want to take you to North Bergen, New Jersey.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: In North Bergen, New Jersey, there's a young man, George Castillo,
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: who was sitting on a bench. He was going to
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: North Bergen High School. And three masked officers from ICE
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: came up to him to talk to him.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: They didn't arrest him. They didn't harass him. They let
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: him go. They just questioned them.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: And oh my God, you would have thought he's going after,
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: they're going after a minor. They're talking to a minor.
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: What are they doing?
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: And of course, politicians ran there, including Assemblyman Rodriguez, who
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: was a guest.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: The image of three masked agents approaching a child who
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: is going to school sets a tone of fear in
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: our community.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's going to be protest apparently today, except he
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: wasn't a child. He was 18 years old. And that
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: was just a lie. And it was also a bust
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: of some sex offenders and gang members. Nine people were arrested.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: And so I'm not sure why that doesn't get covered.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: I'm just reading a story, as a matter of fact, online.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: And at the very bottom of At the very bottom
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: of the story, it was the people that were arrested
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: and what they did. This kid was just questioned. That's it.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: They didn't touch him. They didn't take him in. But
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: the lesson from this story is be careful what you're
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: being told in the news.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Well, what the ICE agents do is they check for
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: gang tattoos. Because if you are affiliated, you know, if
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: you're a hardcore gang member, you have the tattoo. And
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: so clearly they must have done a peripheral check. They
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: realized he wasn't a gang member. He went on his
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: way to school. What I want you to do, though,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: to follow up tomorrow, you mentioned North Bergen, right? There's
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: a guy there, the mayor, Nicholas Sacco, who gets four
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: different pays. You know, he's like head of water, head
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: of the Department of Education. He's an assemblyman. He's the
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: mayor there. I think he retires October 28th. Finally, they
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: have a Hispanic mayor.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Does he get four pensions?
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Can you see if he attends the demonstration today? This
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: guy is the most corrupt guy in all of New Jersey.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: And that's saying a lot in the Soprano State. Yeah,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: because there's a lot of guys that take more than
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: one salary in the state. That's not uncommon. Four is
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: pretty much. That's being gluttonous. Most people have two jobs
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: and take two salaries. But see, my position is like
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Mike Lawler, who's in a neck and neck race against
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Kate Connolly. He supports ICE, which I do. He just says,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: take the mask off, give the ID, you know, ease
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: up on that. That's my position. And I think in
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: this particular case, without having the facts, I think when
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: they were doing this sweep for gangbangers and pedophiles. They
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: probably just checked him for tats. Because he was there
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: in front of the house. If you have tats, it's
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: pretty good. You may well be affiliated with the gang.
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but obviously they're going to talk to him because
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: he's sitting out in front of the house.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: They're about to raid. Understood.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: Why is somebody just sitting on a bench by himself?
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: He was waiting for a friend to turn up. Well,
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: you have homework.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Anyway, up next, this is like Foreman Ali. Ali, remember,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Muslim at the time, the black Muslim. El Saeed versus Rogers.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Their debate the first time was rock'em, sock'em. Tonight, last
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: debate before the election, and it's neck and neck. We'll
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: carry that up next, but it's 7 o'clock in the news.
