Hour 3: Midterm polls · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: So, Curtis was not here on Friday during his tryst
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: with Mamdani, and so I was talking about the election.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: And I was extremely optimistic, because all these new polls
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: had just come out, and they show that the Republicans
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: were gaining ground, that Paxton was now tie in Texas. Oh,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: up one, I should say. Collins was up two. Everywhere
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: you looked, Ohio looked good. And then... It took that quick.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: So I did the show in the morning and people
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: even called and said, why? Why are you so optimistic?
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: And I played Harry Enten saying that the Republicans always
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: do better than the polls and sometimes like plus nine
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: in Ohio. And then polls came out over the weekend
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that quickly, that quickly after all of my optimism came.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: It was drenched by the CBS News and the New
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: York Times. They came out with their polls. Now, I
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: know what you're saying. You're thinking, well, it's CBS News
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: and the New York Times. What are they going to say? But,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't question a lot of polls. There
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: are some outliers. They are pretty bad. But I've actually
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: been at some of these polling institutes, and I know
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: how seriously they take it. So I hate to say,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: unless it's a political poll that somebody pays for, and
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: it's specifically to try— to create an agenda, to create
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: a movement, to say, look, I'm doing better than I
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: thought I am. Your guy, Andrew Cuomo, was great at that.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: He would release those fake polls all the time, and
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: they'd get reported on all the time, and they were fake.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Most of those polls that indicated that he was competing
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: were all fake, but that's the media now. They'll print
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: any poll. It used to be, if you had a
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: legitimate background in doing polls, which means nowadays you're You
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: can't just depend on calls because a lot of people
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: just won't answer their cell phones. You have to do
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: it a number of ways, and it takes time, and
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: it costs money. Now you have polling data that comes
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: from groups. You say, what group is that? Yeah, it's
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: a made-up group.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, it just appeared out of nowhere.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: And listen, so the New York Times and CBS, if
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: you want a couple of sites that I go to
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: to look at polls— where they get rid of some
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: of those polls that are fake. Go to RealClearPolitics, and
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: you'll see right at the top of the page polling.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: You can go down to all of the polls, and
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: also the Cook Report. You can go to there, and
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you can see a lot of the polls. They're pretty
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: legitimate sites. So I go to RealClearPolitics, and I'm looking
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: at this, and state after state. Let me just do
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: a couple. I won't go through all these.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Texas.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: The New York Times-Siena poll has— now, Siena does lean Democratic,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: but I'll leave that out of it. Let's just say
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: that I'm going to trust their poll. Tallarico 51, Paxton 45.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: That's there. In Iowa, Hinson is ahead, but 48 to
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: 47 in Republican Iowa, that's basically a toss-up. When you
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: get to Alaska, Peltola up— he' s 50— He's up seven on Sullivan, 43.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: It goes on and on and on and on. And
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: that's CBS, New York Times, the exact same thing. It
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: is not good at this point. Now, a lot of
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: money is going to be spent. The Republicans have a
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: lot more money than the Democrats. And we'll see what
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump does while he's out on the campaign site.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: If you're trying to figure out exactly what he's doing,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: because you look at his approval rating and you go
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: to yourself, Oh, what's he going to be out there for?
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Isn't he going to hurt the Republicans? No. Among the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: MAGA group and among Republicans, he has well– with MAGA,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: it's 98 percent approval. With Republicans, it's 92 percent approval.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: And midterms, a lot of midterm elections are just getting
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: your base out. So if he can get that base out,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: they might pull– especially in places like Ohio and Texas–
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: strong Republican places, if he gets the vote out, they
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: can win just on that. So that's why he's out there.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but every time he shows up, it just enrages
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: the Democrats. They have the majority of the voters across
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: the country. They're 36 percent. Republicans are 30 percent. And
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: the independents are breaking for the Democrats in every poll.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: The president did a very good thing. He told the
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: masses at all of his rallies, vote by mail if
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: you have to. Remember previously, he was chastising people for
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: voting by mail. He tried to alter the way you
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: vote by mail, but it didn't work. So thank God
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: he decided to encourage everybody to vote by mail, early voting.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I hope he enters that into the discussion because we
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: know the Democrats do. And you have to use every
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: tool in the toolbox, as he successfully did in 2024
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: at the urging of his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, who is
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: the co-chairperson of the RNC. She had a heart-to-heart talk
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: with her father-in-law. She said, look, Dad, the Democrats, look
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: at what they've done. They've used every tool in the toolbox.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: It's hurting us. And as a result of that and
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: other factors, he won all seven battleground states and won
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: the popular vote. So you say to yourself, yeah, yeah,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: use every tool in the toolbox. His problem is, is
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: like when he was in Ohio, and it was a
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: stark contrast to some of his other lines that he
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: always gets a good response from. He brought up the
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: data centers, the data filing centers. That's hurting the Republicans
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: in Ohio. It's not true in every state, but definitely Ohio.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: And he said, hey, look, we want them. The crowd
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: was quiet. That should have been an indicator to him.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: This was a Trump crowd. That is hurting the Republicans. Now,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: there's ways to amend that as you continue on, because
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: he'll be out on the stump. Well, since he started
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: 32 straight days and then he keeps offering money. It
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: sounds more like a bribe. Hey, if we control the
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: House or the Senate, you'll get $ 5, 000 if we keep control. Look,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: you're never going to get everybody to agree to that.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: That's never going to happen. So I think he's got
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: to focus on affordability, cost of living, what most people
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: are talking about, and give people an idea of what's
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: going to happen in Iran because people have no idea.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: No, I think he's absolutely correct when he says, Look,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I wish he didn't attack Iran when he did. I
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: do support the invasion of Iran. I think it's great.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: It's not really an invasion, the bombing of Iran. I
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: think it's wonderful for the world. I think it's going
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: to end up being, when history looks back on it,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: that it was a positive move. But the timing of
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: it was bad for the Republican Party. It was just
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: horrible for the Republican Party. And it is hurting them.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Not only is the war hurting them, but also the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: prices and the price of gas. And I think he's
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: correct when he says Iran's going to cut a deal
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: with us right after the midterms. It sounds like they're suffering.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: They're dying right now. They're getting no oil out right now,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: at least through the Straits of Hormuz, maybe through land
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: to China, but they're not getting anything out. And so
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: they're dying. And so our Everything now is the cost
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: of living because of that, as Curtis just said. And
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: the ridiculous part about it is if you look at
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: every other factor in the economy, it's booming. Jobs are
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: doing great and manufacturing is doing great and the GDP
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: is doing great and the unemployment rate is low. And inflation,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: even though it's a little higher than it should be,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: is still way lower than it was under past presidents.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: And it's almost down to the mark that they wanted at.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: All that's happening, but nobody cares. Nobody cares. All they
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: care about is what do I pay for groceries and
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: what do I pay for gas?
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Well, it's the thing you see almost every day.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I get it.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: The other thing is... Look, he's got a limited amount
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: of time, and he's got to keep his friends and
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: not alienate them. So there were two things he did
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: over the weekend that I said, oh, my God. Tom Cotton, U.S.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Senator in Arkansas, is about as loyal a Trump supporter
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: as you can get. With the death of Lindsey Graham,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: he's pretty much taken over that position. But he disagrees
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: with Trump completely. on turning the clock.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Back right the daylight savings time.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: So what does trump do he reaches into the playbook
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: of 2016 when he gave out lindsey graham's personal cell
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: phone number but lindsey graham was a critic then tom
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: cotton is not a critic so he gives out his
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: personal telephone number now look it Why? And the other
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: thing is you couldn't have a network more favorable to
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: you than Fox Network, right? Fox News. He started attacking
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Fox and Friends. You're not promoting my rallies enough. You're
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: not covering the full events. Why?
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: To me, they're small things.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I know, but the point is, it distracts from the
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: overall message.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: No, only when somebody brings it up, like you're bringing
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: it up, and not many other people have.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: The one thing he ought not do, because it'll just
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: energize the base of the Democrats to come out in
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: incredible numbers, is he keeps saying to the crowds, they're
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: going to impeach me if they take over the House.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: If they're going to impeach me, yeah, you tell that
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: to the Democrats, it's salivating. I think they already know that. Listen,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: he can't hide that. He's got to get out of
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: his base. And if you notice now, every one of
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: the candidates, they must have researched this. All the money
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: is going to be going into, yes, there are some
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: problems in the country, but do you want these freaks in?
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, the communists and the socialists. All they keep
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: talking about over and over is about how weird the
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: other side is. Ohio is going to prove that I'm
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: does not belong to those who hate it America belongs
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: to those who love it.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: They're going to talk more and more about the fact
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: that many of the Democrats are down on the thought
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: of America and they there's quotes on this and And
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: so you're going to hear that a lot. Is it enough?
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Is it going to work? I don't know. But that
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: is their playbook right now. Hold on. That's definitely their
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: playbook right now.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Why doesn't he just say the Republicans are for the USA,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: the DSA isn't? You know, something simple.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Well, they have. I mean, there's all kinds of ways
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: they've been saying this.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: I know, but you know something, Larry? It's not working.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: It's not working. And amongst Latinos... His numbers are dropping
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: dramatically because of ICE. And the face of ICE, his
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: own Hispanic Republicans are starting to give him blowback. He said, Mr. President,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: you were doing so well with Hispanics. You're down to 29% nationally,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: which affects midterm elections.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Why don't you sometimes look at Donald Trump like you
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: look at Mom Donnie and just have Have some more
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: affection for the president of the United States.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I'm competing with the president who's met
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: with Mondami three times and had a love fest and
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: always calls him. He's such a handsome man.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I didn't see him holding hands. And when we come back,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Taylor Swift on SNL, it was a surprise, a big shocker.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: And Paul McCartney, remember, played a song at their wedding.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: And now we have some inside information about that. Plus,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: all this is going to be in the next segment.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: A chance to see A Bronx Tale, the one-man show
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: starring Chaz Palminteri. That's coming up next. Now let me
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: tell you about, I'm always excited to tell you about

  Speaker 1: quickly just an everyday experience can turn into an emergency.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I've covered the news. I've seen this over and over
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: and over and over again. And choking is one of

  Speaker 1: the most common moments that can turn into a life

• 13:04
  Speaker 1: next time it counts. You know, I'm starting to like
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live again. They lost me for a while,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: although I don't really watch it ever live. I just
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: watch bits from it so I can ignore all the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: political stuff and a lot of the stuff from the
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: weekend update. But last night, apparently Dakota Johnson, who's now
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: hosted it several times because she's good. She really is
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: a good guest host. She was on last night and
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I'll set up the bit she did in the beginning.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: She started talking about how she gets depressed all the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: time and she needs help from friends and that one
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: of her top therapists is Taylor Swift, that she relies
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: on Taylor Swift all the time. And while she's telling
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: this story, Taylor Swift makes a surprise appearance and there's
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: uproarious applause. You can barely hear anything that Dakota is
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: saying at that point. But here is when they both
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: get out and talk together.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: My literal therapist.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not your therapist, actually. You just show up once
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: a week at my house with an empty bottle of
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: wine and ask if I want some.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I have manners.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: And then you flop on my couch and overshare, and
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: every so often I just say, damn, that's crazy.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Is that not a therapist?
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: And then I go, well, you know, oh, it's getting late.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I should probably go to bed.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: And then you say, sleepover, yay!
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: So it was a little bit lame. It wasn't as funny.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: As I think it was. It was totally lame.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: But it got huge applause. Nobody cared.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Of course. But did it mean she didn't go out
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: and watch the Las Vegas Raiders lose to her beloved
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs and her Maytag playing tight end. She
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: wasn't in the box.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I don't think she goes to the away games.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Thank God she was. I don't think she ever goes
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: to the away games. But the bigger one involved Paul McCartney,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: who finally acknowledged what had happened in Madison Square Garden
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: when they tied the city up in knots and had
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: the marriage ceremony. Apparently Taylor Swift had asked Paul McCartney
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: as a personal favor to her and her Maytag, that
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: he please sing I Want to Hold Your Hand, the
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: 64 classic that he rarely, if ever, does. And he said, look,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, Taylor. I'll do it as long
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: as you sing along with me and we sing it
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: to your Maytag man. And that's how that came about.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: Oh, man.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: We have to get video of that or some audio.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there's video somewhere. I just hope it leaks out.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: I would love to see that. That's an amazing moment.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: That will go down in history. That's an amazing moment. Yeah,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: it's McCartney and Taylor Swift.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Had enough of Taylor Swift attacking Joe Jonas. This guy,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, her husband now, when she divorces him,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: there'll be four albums dropped attacking him and just... It's
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: incinerating him.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I really like Taylor Swift, and I think she's lived
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: a great life.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: When you took on Taylor the first time, the Swifties
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: came at you like a band of bees.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: I didn't take her on. I was getting upset about
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the way New York City was treated for the wedding,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: and somebody raised a great point. And I listened to it,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: and I thought, you know what? He has a great point.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: He said, you tell me a bride that doesn't think
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: that day is all about them. And I thought to myself,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: you're right, I'm holding Taylor Swift to a different standard.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: And so I changed. You should try that every once
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: in a while. Not to blow back from all the Swifties, right?
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Because you're wrong a lot. You should try that every
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: once in a while. Here's our talkbacks. Hey, this whole
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Cornell thing. Remember Duke Lacrosse? That was all made up. Now,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: my problem with this is this young lady said she
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: was conscious and it was consensual. when she started this off,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: and that's why they didn't pursue charges. So now you've
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: got Letitia James. And, by the way, why is Letitia
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: James walking around free? Why hasn't she been charged and convicted, indicted,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: and put in prison, or at least taken out of
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: that position? Come on.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Well, if your whole point is Tish James, forget it.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: It's about Jane Doe. It's not about Tish James or
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: anyone else.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: And you're right. It was consensual in the beginning, but
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: that doesn't excuse what happened after that.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: So, Curtis, let me see if I understand this correctly.
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: Did you miss your show with Larry on Friday so
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: you could be holding hands with Mondami? That's why you
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: didn't do the show on Friday? To be with Mondami?
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: What's wrong with you?
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: I know I hurt Larry's feelings because we had consummated
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: our relationship and he thinks I cheated on him. But
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: that was well after the show. I was just returning
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: from Binghamton University. So, Larry, no disrespect. I didn't cheat
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: on you. I'm happy for the two of you. You
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: really do. You look wonderful together. But we'll discuss that
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: up next.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly right. Now let's give away some tickets.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Sonny, trust me.

  Speaker 4: That man can't trust anybody. The sooner you know that,
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: the better. How many times do I have to tell you?
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: People don't respect him. They fear him. There's a big difference.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: You want to be somebody? Be somebody who works for
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: a living and takes care of his family.
• 18:21

  Speaker 2: Me and Zoran Mondami getting our flu vaccines. side by side.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Another great reflection of our relationship put together by Tom
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Cuddy back in March, Larry. I was at the Atlantic
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Antics yesterday. That's the city's largest street festival going from
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: the Barclays Center and downtown Brooklyn all the way to
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: the East River. It was packed, even though it was raining.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: I know other festivals and had less of an attendance
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: but not Atlantic Annex and to hear from people from
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: time to time. Miss you on Friday with Larry and
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: oh yeah yeah listen to you guys all the time
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: at 710 WOR can't be listening to Israel First with
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: that Sid Rosenberg at WABC. That was heartening and then
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: of course as I worked through the crowd The majority
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: of responses from Gen Zers, millennials and baby boomers were
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: about my sit down with the mayor on Friday late
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: in the morning to receive a flu vaccine shot with
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: the flu season coming. And obviously there was opinions flying
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: fast and furiously. But I would say mostly from that crowd,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: it was good to see that you had bridged the
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: political divide since I was the Republican in the election period.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: He was the Democrat, and he won the general election. Yeah,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: it was nice. It was a nice moment. And I
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: hope people weren't snarky with you at all. I hope not,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: because your relationships are your own business. And I don't
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: know if people were listening at the top of the show,
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: and I want to repeat this because it's really important.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I needed to apologize to you. Thank you.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I have come after you about your relationship with Zorin Mamdani.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: And I really didn't understand it because, in my opinion,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: he has been a failure. You know, he killed 20
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: people in a snowstorm. He couldn't take care of that.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: He couldn't take care of the trash. All the promises
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: seemed to be going by the wayside. So I couldn't understand.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Now I understand. Now I get it.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Well, that's because you're a senior citizen. Now I understand
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: that the. Flu kills 2,000 senior citizens a year in
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: New York City.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: That's a nice deflection, but that obviously isn't true because
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: here's the moment. The moment was when he said this.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: I can hold your hand.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: What happens if I faint?
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: So you took his hand and you didn't let go.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: You guys were holding hands for a while. And then
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: you said, what if I faint? I mean, you were
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: really overwhelmed with the moment and you could see it
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: in your face. Your face got flush. It's as if
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: there's been something going on for a while that I
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: didn't understand. And it's none of my business. It's really
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: none of my business. Love is love. I get that.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: And now I get it. And I apologize. I'm sorry.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: You sound like you're spurned. you know, even though we've
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: consummated our relationship, Larry, I can assure you, I did
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: not cheat on you.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: No, I don't. I don't believe that. I don't know. Maybe,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: maybe it's the fake relationship you think that we have
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: that you have with Zora Mamdani. And that's what I
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: thought all along, except when he reached out and held
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: your hand. And when you didn't pull it away, it
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: was sweet. It was a nice moment at that moment.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: And both of you look like Your whole expression's his, too.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Changed. Well, you know, I was motivated by our president,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump, who on three separate occasions has had a
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: love fest with Zohra Mondami, the most recently in Gracie Mansion,
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: in which every time he meets him, he goes, golly,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: you're such a handsome man. So if the president can
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: do that, Larry, why can't I do that as a
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: PSA to try to get people my age, your age
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: to take the flu vaccine so that they. Don't unfortunately
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: become ill or die.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: I get it. I get it. You want to deflect.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: I get it. I get it. And again, it's none
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: of my business. So I love that you're close with somebody,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: and I love that that goes on.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Natalie, Natalie, he does sound like a scorned lover, does
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: he not?
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: You do sound a little jealous. No, I'm really not.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: It explains a hell of a lot. I mean, listen,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: I have said from the beginning, please stop saying that.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: It's weird. That consummate thing. It's weird, and there's no way. Well,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: if you listen to the show, you know that I
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: take on Curtis all the time. Well, I will tell you.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: But not Wuzura Mamdani. He doesn't take him on ever.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: I will tell you one thing. I had a great
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: night coming back from Binghamton University. My wife, Nancy, had
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: driven me there and back. That's a long ride. And
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: as you know, I can't drive because I don't have
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: a license. But she was so affable. We were discussing
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: so many things. And then when I came back from
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: the Board of Health late on Friday, she was stony quiet. Uh-oh,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: what did I do? You know, this is like husbands
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: and wives. Whenever the other partner is quiet, you know
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: you're in the doghouse, right? Can't be in the cat
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: house in my house. You're in the doghouse. And then
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: it finally came out of her. She goes, you know,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: you held the mayor's hand. I said, yeah, the whole
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: world knows that now. You've never held my hand in public.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: That's, oh, my God.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: And I realized in the many public appearances that we've made,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: because Nancy was side by side with me in many
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: instances in the campaign. She's right. So to try to
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: make it up to her yesterday in the rain at
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: the annual Pulaski Day Parade, because Nancy's all Polish. I
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: had Anthony, my oldest son, and me. I reached out
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: and I held her hand. Do you think I made
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: up for that? I got a lot of making.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Up to do. Yeah, I think you did. Even if
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: she didn't respond to that, she knew you did. And
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: she knew you did. I think that was a really
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: smart move. And by the way, Donald Trump's never held
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie's hand. But I regress. When we come back,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: you know, Natalie Migliore did it a little bit, but
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: city council is going to be taking up AI.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: No, don't laugh.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Well, they don't even have actual intelligence.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: I think they can actually solve this problem. I don't
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: think the brainiacs that work in high tech, I don't
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: think the world leaders, I think the New York City
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Council can handle this.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Can't even handle e-bikes and horse-drawn carriages, but they're going
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: to handle it.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Who else?
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Who else in the world is going to handle that?
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about that when we come back.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: So let me get this straight, Larry. The city council,
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: 51 deadbeat slackers who do little, if anything, but always
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: have press conferences. They were supposed to resolve the horse
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: carriage issue, right? One way or the other. That was
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: in the summer. Having done Jack Diddley's squat. Who gots?
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: They had, what, about 24 different bills submitted to them,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: and there were major groups demonstrating at City Hall about
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: these craziness of these e-bikes that are harming people, killing people, unregulated,
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: like demolition derby out there in the streets. They haven't
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: done Jack Diddley squat. But they have decided today, the
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: 51 who lack AI, actual intelligence, that they're going to
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: delve into the sophistication of artificial intelligence. And don't call
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: it super intelligence, Mr. President. Please stop that. Stop that.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: What are they going to do, Larry?
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: They're going to hold hearings. They have 10 bills that
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: they're talking about doing to make New York and New
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Yorkers safer from AI. And thank God they have gotten involved.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Because I don't think that the brainiacs out in Palo
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Alto have been able to do anything. And certainly the
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: world leaders that got together, the smartest people in the world.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: But everybody knows the real bright people, the real smart
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: people are in the New York City Council. So let
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: me just play for you Councilman Oswald Feliz, who is
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: the chair of the Public Safety Committee. This is his idea.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: One of the most important guardrails to help ensure that
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: these devices are being used responsibly is creating the right
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: to sue these companies directly.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: What is he, a lobbyist for lawyers?
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Wait a second. You can already sue the companies directly.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: There's nothing that prevents– they've been sued a lot, a
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: whole lot. And is that your bill? That you want
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: to create a law that allows New Yorkers to now
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: sue the AI companies? Oh, my God. I was completely wrong.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: They're not brainiacs. They aren't the best and the brightest.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: They lack AI actual intelligence.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Jeez. I immediately went, when I heard him say that,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I immediately went and go, you can't sue AI? Are
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: there really laws about that? He goes, no, there's lawsuits constantly.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: You can sue AI all you want. And so if
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: that's the best they're going to do, this is embarrassing.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, we do have a downtown campus for Google.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: They've spent millions and millions of dollars to develop it.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: They're one of the many companies trying to develop AI products.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: I hope they bring them up as an example of
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: what are you going to do? This is a national issue.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Maybe the state can do something. But what can you
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: do locally? You're going to have a kill switch? I
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: wish we had a kill switch to stop the nonsensical
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: debate that sometimes takes place on the floor of the
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: city council.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: You know exactly what happened. Hey, AI is becoming big.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about AI. We should do something. We should
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: have public hearings. And they have no power. They have
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: no power. And could you imagine when you are, let's
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: just say, at Meadow or you're at Elon Musk's company,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: you're at X, and you get chosen to go and testify?
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: at the New York City Council, they ain't getting the
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: best and the brightest. They're not getting Zuckerberg. They're not
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: getting Musk. And so all these people have to go
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: there today and listen to these idiots ask questions.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: This strikes me as a group of people who have
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: attention deficit disorder. They talk about one problem and never
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: resolve it. And then the next headline, and they talk
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: about the problem and never resolve it. And now all
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: of a sudden the headlines, obviously internationally are AI, artificial intelligence,
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: And they'll talk about it and they'll never resolve it because,
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: as you said, they can't. They don't have the power
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: to resolve it. So how about getting back to the

• 32:26
  Speaker 2: apartment in NYCHA. Like, where's the money going to come from?
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: How about discussing that?
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: I get it. But I have to give Oswald Feliz,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: the councilman, some credit because already... Already he's done something.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: You're allowed to sue AI now. Did you know that?
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: He mentioned it and now it actually happened. Well, the
