Latest / Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning / Hour 2: Hiring an independent investigator
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, I will tell you this. If you are among
- 0:03Speaker 1: the executives at Cornell University, you're probably in a little
- 0:07Speaker 1: bit of trouble at this point because the students now
- 0:10Speaker 1: have gathered to write a letter asking for resignations, including
- 0:15Speaker 1: from the president. And the faculty had a vote of
- 0:19Speaker 1: no confidence for the administration and for the president. So
- 0:24Speaker 1: this keeps snowballing, and it's big. It's all across the country.
- 0:27Speaker 1: You know what it's like, Curtis? It's like the Me
- 0:29Speaker 1: Too movement at this point.
- 0:32Speaker 2: Just a side note real quick.
- 0:33Speaker 3: University of Oregon now, there's some sexual assaults that have
- 0:37Speaker 3: occurred against women on and off campus. University of Arizona
- 0:42Speaker 3: has suspended fraternities for misconduct. It's now having a ripple effect,
- 0:48Speaker 3: not just for hazing and assaults like we would typically hear.
- 0:52Speaker 3: But taking advantage when there are social gatherings, you know,
- 0:56Speaker 3: at frats and sororities and then situations get out of hand.
- 1:00Speaker 2: So you're right. It's a ripple effect all across the country.
- 1:04Speaker 1: And more and more tapes. There's more and more information
- 1:06Speaker 1: coming out, by the way. And we're finding out that
- 1:09Speaker 1: a lot of the things that were alleged in Jane
- 1:12Speaker 1: Doe's web filing, they're not true. Many of the things
- 1:18Speaker 1: were not true, especially the whole thing about some of
- 1:21Speaker 1: the people that we reported here, and I talked about
- 1:24Speaker 1: because I read it from the allegations, is that they
- 1:28Speaker 1: got a slap on the wrist, only two got expelled,
- 1:33Speaker 1: everybody else, one of them got a writing assignment. Well,
- 1:36Speaker 1: apparently that's not true. They were either expelled or suspended
- 1:40Speaker 1: pending investigation, every single one of the seven. And so
- 1:44Speaker 1: they've made that very clear, and that has been investigated.
- 1:47Speaker 1: We're also now hearing a lot of tapes of the
- 1:50Speaker 1: students that make the men sound worse and worse and worse.
- 1:55Speaker 1: I will tell you something, and this should temper you
- 1:59Speaker 1: a little bit, and I thank some of the listeners
- 2:03Speaker 1: who are legal authorities who are lawyers. that wrote to
- 2:07Speaker 1: me and said, you know, be careful, watch out. Don't
- 2:09Speaker 1: get ahead of your skis too much because you're only
- 2:13Speaker 1: hearing from one side. And that is absolutely true. You
- 2:18Speaker 1: have to be extremely careful. Because this is not going
- 2:23Speaker 1: to be an easy case. Now, if it snowballs and
- 2:26Speaker 1: it becomes a movement and you have Letitia James and
- 2:29Speaker 1: you get the right jury, yes, it's going to be
- 2:32Speaker 1: a snowball. And everything that comes out now, you have
- 2:36Speaker 1: to assume is coming from James Doe's attorney. That's what
- 2:40Speaker 1: you have to assume at this point. It's not coming
- 2:42Speaker 1: from the school. It's not coming from the prosecutor. It's
- 2:45Speaker 1: going to come right from there. And so there is
- 2:49Speaker 1: a guy named Josh Ritter who used to be a
- 2:53Speaker 1: prosecutor in L.A., a big prosecutor in L.A., had some
- 2:56Speaker 1: famous cases, is now a defense prosecutor. And he's warning everybody,
- 3:01Speaker 1: be careful. This is not going to be– and he's
- 3:05Speaker 1: had these cases before– This is not going to be
- 3:08Speaker 1: an easy case to prosecute.
- 3:10Speaker 4: Here we don't have any physical corroborating evidence. We don't
- 3:13Speaker 4: have a fresh complaint that was made right afterwards. And
- 3:16Speaker 4: in fact, the statements that she made were inconsistent. Now,
- 3:19Speaker 4: that's not passing judgment on this young woman. There might
- 3:22Speaker 4: be very good reasons for why she gave conflicting statements
- 3:25Speaker 4: to begin with. But because she did, that creates issues
- 3:28Speaker 4: for a prosecutor.
- 3:30Speaker 1: See, in the furor of all of this... in the
- 3:34Speaker 1: fact that people are angry and so many women can relate,
- 3:38Speaker 1: we've already passed judgment on a lot of these people.
- 3:41Speaker 1: And again, many attorneys are saying, be careful.
- 3:46Speaker 4: And this isn't a simple, he said, she said, this
- 3:49Speaker 4: is seven different individuals who are going to give a
- 3:52Speaker 4: very different account as to what took place against her
- 3:56Speaker 4: one story.
- 3:57Speaker 1: And look, I'm not, I'm not making judgment on either
- 4:01Speaker 1: side at this point. You know, you have to feel
- 4:03Speaker 1: for the woman. Absolutely. But it builds and it builds
- 4:07Speaker 1: and it builds and it builds until we become a mob.
- 4:10Speaker 4: None of this is about whether or not this woman
- 4:12Speaker 4: was wrong, which she very well could have been. But
- 4:15Speaker 4: the question becomes, can they actually file a case that
- 4:19Speaker 4: will stand up in court? And at this point, I
- 4:21Speaker 4: think that the options of that are very limited.
- 4:24Speaker 1: That's the first time I've heard that. That's the first
- 4:27Speaker 1: time I've heard that, and it's from somebody that's prosecuted
- 4:29Speaker 1: these cases.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Yeah, but now he's a defense attorney.
- 4:32Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:33Speaker 2: Of course, he's looking for work, Larry.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Oh, no, he's not. You know this guy? He's out
- 4:37Speaker 1: in L.A., first of all. He's not looking for work.
- 4:40Speaker 1: You think the worst on everybody. U.S.
- 4:42Speaker 3: Attorneys become defense attorneys. They prosecuted the worst, and then
- 4:46Speaker 3: they represent the worst.
- 4:48Speaker 1: He's pretty booked at this point.
- 4:50Speaker 2: I understand, but let me give you the words. He's
- 4:51Speaker 2: pretty booked. He's not looking for work. The ringleader.
- 4:53Speaker 1: Everybody that says something you don't agree with. All of
- 4:57Speaker 1: a sudden, they're wrong and they're looking for money. I
- 4:59Speaker 1: am entitled to my point of view. Yeah, but it's
- 5:01Speaker 1: your point of view, but you try to undercut people
- 5:03Speaker 1: that don't deserve it. Let's look at the.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Words of the culprit who organized this, Matthew Ingalls. Everybody
- 5:10Speaker 2: knows he organized it. He said, oh, we're going to
- 5:13Speaker 2: have a threesome. And then all of a sudden, she
- 5:16Speaker 2: came over. And now, in his own email to the
- 5:21Speaker 2: authorities at Cornell University, when he was being interviewed, this
- 5:25Speaker 2: is what he wrote. Jane Doe sodomized me. Nobody cared
- 5:30Speaker 2: that I was sexually assaulted and I'm a sex assault survivor.
- 5:35Speaker 2: Are you kidding? We're to believe that he was forcibly
- 5:40Speaker 2: sodomized when he had invited her over? She agreed for
- 5:45Speaker 2: a threesome. provided the ketamine, and as far as we know,
- 5:49Speaker 2: maybe other drugs, they had already boozed up before that.
- 5:53Speaker 2: He's a victim of being sodomized?
- 5:56Speaker 1: Larry, this is his own worry. Here's the thing. I
- 5:59Speaker 1: don't believe it either, but it's amazing that you will
- 6:03Speaker 1: not believe that. That's ridiculous, but you'll believe the person
- 6:08Speaker 1: that came out, Jane Doe. And listen, I do too.
- 6:11Speaker 1: What I'm saying is there has to be a fair
- 6:14Speaker 1: process in this whole thing. And it's not a slam dunk.
- 6:18Speaker 1: And we really haven't heard too much from the other side.
- 6:21Speaker 1: And we're not going to. Because they've been told by
- 6:23Speaker 1: their attorneys.
- 6:24Speaker 2: Don't talk. Well, this guy already did in his email.
- 6:27Speaker 2: He said, I'm guilty of gender discrimination and entrapment.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Entrapment? I guarantee that was released by her attorney. All
- 6:36Speaker 1: I'm warning is, and I know everybody wants to jump
- 6:38Speaker 1: to conclusions. All I'm warning is, and thank you for
- 6:42Speaker 1: the people that wrote to me, the attorneys that wrote
- 6:44Speaker 1: to me. All I'm warning is there's going to be
- 6:46Speaker 1: two sides and we're going to slowly hear from the
- 6:49Speaker 1: other side. And so when we slowly hear from the
- 6:52Speaker 1: other side, it may very well be it's still a
- 6:54Speaker 1: slam dunk. And it may very well be that they
- 6:57Speaker 1: gang raped her and they're all sinister and they all
- 7:00Speaker 1: deserve to go to jail. That may very well be.
- 7:03Speaker 1: But we don't know all the facts.
- 7:05Speaker 2: So we only found out about this because of Jane Doe.
- 7:10Speaker 2: Not because of her lawsuit, because of her lawsuit, which
- 7:13Speaker 2: she never filed charges. But then she did.
- 7:16Speaker 3: How could she file charges if she went to the police,
- 7:19Speaker 3: answered their questions?
- 7:21Speaker 1: She went to the law. She didn't go to the
- 7:23Speaker 1: police or the district attorney or municipal police. She went
- 7:27Speaker 1: to the school police.
- 7:28Speaker 2: Well, because she told them... There'll be no charges from them.
- 7:32Speaker 2: It's 100% rape. She's entrusting them to.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Carry the ball. I get that, but you understand that.
- 7:36Speaker 1: There's no charges that can come from them. You're right.
- 7:39Speaker 1: They withheld evidence.
- 7:40Speaker 2: Larry, when a guy... They are in trouble. This is
- 7:42Speaker 2: guy to guy, okay? Put aside all of this. When
- 7:45Speaker 2: a guy tells me... That he was forcibly sodomized by
- 7:50Speaker 2: Jane Doe after he invited her over for a threesome
- 7:54Speaker 2: that she agreed to.
- 7:54Speaker 1: Wait a second.
- 7:55Speaker 2: And then he was incapacitated at the time. Are you
- 7:58Speaker 2: going to believe he passed out?
- 8:00Speaker 1: Wait a second. Did he blame her? I didn't know
- 8:02Speaker 1: that he blamed her. Definitely. Did you read the whole statement?
- 8:05Speaker 1: What did he say exactly? How did he say her?
- 8:07Speaker 2: He said, I am a sexual assault survivor. She forcibly
- 8:11Speaker 2: sodomized me when I was incapacitated.
- 8:13Speaker 1: He said she because I didn't read that in it. Well,
- 8:15Speaker 1: maybe his friend. He was sodomized. That's what I'm saying.
- 8:19Speaker 1: I mean, we, listen.
- 8:20Speaker 5: Larry.
- 8:22Speaker 1: No. So you're ready to convict?
- 8:24Speaker 6: Hey.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Without knowing anything on the other side, you're ready to convict?
- 8:27Speaker 2: I know how guys are. Come on, Larry. You know
- 8:29Speaker 2: how guys are.
- 8:29Speaker 6: Wow.
- 8:30Speaker 1: You don't want you on any jury ever.
- 8:31Speaker 2: What guy would ever say I was forcibly sodomized by
- 8:35Speaker 2: a woman? You're right.
- 8:36Speaker 1: I believe her. I'm telling you right now, I believe her.
- 8:41Speaker 1: But that's on not knowing all the facts. All we know, really,
- 8:46Speaker 1: is what came out from her lawsuit. And we've already
- 8:49Speaker 1: found out there are three or four things that are incorrect.
- 8:53Speaker 2: I'm not on the jury. I wouldn't be picked for
- 8:55Speaker 2: the jury. I would be part of jury nullification. But
- 8:58Speaker 2: this guy, Matthew Ingalls, the ringleader, guilty as charged. And
- 9:03Speaker 2: he's the one who put it out on Snapchat.
- 9:06Speaker 6: Come on up.
- 9:07Speaker 2: Get yourself some free you-know-what.
- 9:08Speaker 1: Isn't he one of the ones, one of the first ones,
- 9:11Speaker 1: where she said, yes, I would agree to that? Yeah.
- 9:14Speaker 1: So he can't be charged with rape.
- 9:17Speaker 2: What do you mean he can't be charged?
- 9:18Speaker 1: Because that was consensual. She agreed to the first two.
- 9:22Speaker 1: She said that.
- 9:23Speaker 2: Larry, did you not hear what he wrote to them?
- 9:25Speaker 2: He wants her to be charged for sexually assaulting him.
- 9:28Speaker 1: No, I get that, and that's ridiculous. But that has
- 9:30Speaker 1: nothing to do with his guilt or innocence. That has
- 9:32Speaker 1: nothing to do with his guilt or innocence. In his
- 9:35Speaker 1: own words. Listen, no, in her own words. She said...
- 9:39Speaker 1: I agreed to the first two.
- 9:40Speaker 2: Larry, you couldn't be more hopelessly wrong. You don't listen.
- 9:43Speaker 1: You never listen. No, how can I be wrong? I'm
- 9:47Speaker 1: not even taking a side. I'm telling you that if
- 9:49Speaker 1: I were to take a side, I'd take her side.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Thank you. I'm just telling you that there are two
- 9:54Speaker 1: sides of this, and we're only hearing one. And this
- 9:58Speaker 1: is going to play out as a legal process. And
- 10:00Speaker 1: people that have prosecuted these cases and defended these cases,
- 10:05Speaker 1: as Josh Ritter has done both, say it's not a
- 10:08Speaker 1: slam dunk.
- 10:09Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm talking to you male to male. What
- 10:12Speaker 2: male ever says, oh, the woman forcibly sodomized me while
- 10:17Speaker 2: I was incapacitated. I'm a victim of sexual assault. You
- 10:21Speaker 2: keep going back to something that's irrelevant. It's his email.
- 10:26Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. It's not relevant to what she's claiming.
- 10:30Speaker 1: You're saying that that's another charge. He's not charging him
- 10:33Speaker 1: with anything. He might have said something stupid. It's irrelevant.
- 10:37Speaker 1: When you're talking about the case, it's was she gang raped?
- 10:41Speaker 1: Did she consent? Was she sober enough to give consent?
- 10:47Speaker 1: Because under New York state law, that's another problem. So
- 10:52Speaker 1: in a courtroom, all of the things that you were
- 10:55Speaker 1: attacking and a lot of people attack.
- 10:56Speaker 2: They're not relevant. Larry. You know something? There's something called
- 11:00Speaker 2: the First Amendment right of free speech in America. I
- 11:03Speaker 2: have a right to give my opinion as all of
- 11:05Speaker 2: America is given its opinion. I'm not in the freaking court.
- 11:08Speaker 2: I'm not going to be in the jury pool. But
- 11:10Speaker 2: when a guy tells me he was forcibly sodomized while
- 11:14Speaker 2: incapacitated and in his own words says, I am a
- 11:18Speaker 2: sexual assault victim, she raped me.
- 11:20Speaker 1: You're crazy because nobody's stopping you. You've got to say
- 11:23Speaker 1: everything you want to say. So why do you? I
- 11:25Speaker 1: have a First Amendment right.
- 11:26Speaker 2: But you act like, oh, yeah, what are you talking about?
- 11:28Speaker 1: I didn't say that. You didn't listen. As always, you
- 11:32Speaker 1: never listen. Upper West Side, guess what? They got another
- 11:37Speaker 1: owl that everybody wants to see. Plus, you get a
- 11:39Speaker 1: chance to see A Bronx Tale, the one-man show starring
- 11:42Speaker 1: Chaz Palminteri. We'll see it all. Do me a favor
- 11:46Speaker 1: and Google an American barn owl. O-W-L. Because they are gorgeous.
- 11:53Speaker 1: They are very, very rare and especially rare to see
- 11:58Speaker 1: in New York City or any city. They're called a
- 12:02Speaker 1: barn owl for a reason. They like to go out
- 12:04Speaker 1: in the rural areas. They hang around farms and look
- 12:08Speaker 1: for varmints to eat. Well, guess what? There is one
- 12:11Speaker 1: in New York City now taking Flacco's spot.
- 12:15Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
- 12:16Speaker 1: As the big owl. Now he's He's been spotted. Here's
- 12:19Speaker 1: where he's been spotted so far. In the backyards of
- 12:23Speaker 1: buildings between West 75th and 76th Streets on the Upper
- 12:28Speaker 1: West Side, from Columbus to Central Park West. And there's
- 12:33Speaker 1: a woman that has been trying to find it. She
- 12:36Speaker 1: saw it, but she wanted the picture. And I guess
- 12:37Speaker 1: there's going to be a lot of people, as you said, Curtis,
- 12:40Speaker 1: going out trying to get it. Pictures of this now.
- 12:42Speaker 1: She has the only picture so far, the only proof
- 12:46Speaker 1: so far that it exists. It's a little bit fuzzy,
- 12:48Speaker 1: but this is Elizabeth Beale Williams.
- 12:51Speaker 6: It's a rare bird, for one. But it's also a
- 12:54Speaker 6: bird that people are fascinated with. People love owls. And
- 12:59Speaker 6: that species doesn't come around much in general.
- 13:04Speaker 3: Oh, that was my favorite growing up. An owl, and
- 13:07Speaker 3: obviously Flaco, I and Nancy went to the documentary. The
- 13:10Speaker 3: theme being a year of freedom versus lifetime in a
- 13:14Speaker 3: cage in the Central Park Zoo. Very, very, this is interesting.
- 13:19Speaker 3: And now a new owl, barn owl, all the birdies
- 13:23Speaker 3: are going to be out. I guarantee you with their binoculars, telescopes,
- 13:27Speaker 3: looking for, and they got to come up with a name.
- 13:29Speaker 3: You know, maybe today we can come up with a name.
- 13:31Speaker 3: Nancy and I are attending a luncheon. Of all the
- 13:34Speaker 3: animal welfare people that I joined up in Marshall to
- 13:37Speaker 3: try to rescue the beagles in the Upper West Side,
- 13:39Speaker 3: right in that vicinity that you described. Maybe we'll come
- 13:42Speaker 3: up with a name for the Barn Owl.
- 13:44Speaker 1: Maybe you'll see the Barn Owl.
- 13:45Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 13:45Speaker 1: You have to keep your head on a swivel. Keep
- 13:48Speaker 1: looking up in the air. See if you can see
- 13:49Speaker 1: the Barn Owl. But this is, it's kind of amazing.
- 13:53Speaker 1: But you just said a moment ago, the other Al
- 13:55Speaker 1: Flacco was in a zoo. So at least it was
- 13:58Speaker 1: used a little bit to city life. This guy or girl.
- 14:02Speaker 1: Has to be confused.
- 14:03Speaker 2: That's the other thing. We got to figure out if
- 14:05Speaker 2: it's a guy or a girl.
- 14:07Speaker 4: I know.
- 14:07Speaker 1: I know. If you're going to name it, you have
- 14:09Speaker 1: to come up with one of those names that can
- 14:11Speaker 1: go either way.
- 14:12Speaker 2: What about Prime for the Times? He, she, they? It's
- 14:19Speaker 2: a he, she, they. What does that mean? Absolutely nothing.
- 14:22Speaker 8: Just come up with a gender-neutral name.
- 14:24Speaker 1: It'll be good. I'd love to hear from somebody that
- 14:27Speaker 1: saw The Owl.
- 14:27Speaker 2: I know.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Although I guess very few people have seen it so far,
- 14:31Speaker 1: but we do have photographic proof that it exists.
- 14:34Speaker 6: Yes.
- 14:35Speaker 1: It's kind of amazing. Let's get to your talkbacks. Well,
- 14:38Speaker 1: as usual, you guys are wrong again.
- 14:40Speaker 2: There are three sides to this story.
- 14:42Speaker 1: The third side is the lawyer's side, the money side.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Big money is going to get made by lots of lawyers,
- 14:50Speaker 1: and nobody will be satisfied except the lawyers.
- 14:56Speaker 2: It's the way of the world.
- 14:58Speaker 1: Lawyers are the bane of our existence. Yeah, you didn't
- 15:01Speaker 1: think we knew that lawyers profited for some hell in
- 15:04Speaker 1: that whole thing? I just think that was so obvious
- 15:06Speaker 1: we didn't state it.
- 15:07Speaker 9: I'm a plumber for 50 years, and it's a great
- 15:11Speaker 9: time to become a plumber. But what I guess I
- 15:14Speaker 9: hear from a lot of the young people is that
- 15:16Speaker 9: they don't know if that's going to be what they.
- 15:18Speaker 2: Need to do.
- 15:19Speaker 9: And I keep telling them, try it and see what
- 15:21Speaker 9: happens and see if this is what you're supposed to
- 15:23Speaker 9: be doing. And then, you know, go from there. So
- 15:27Speaker 9: the bottom line is, you know, I hope everybody does
- 15:30Speaker 9: well and talk to you soon.
- 15:32Speaker 2: Great advice. Great advice. You know, learn the skill.
- 15:35Speaker 3: Maybe you want to go on and do other things,
- 15:37Speaker 3: but you always have this skill to fall back on
- 15:38Speaker 3: because Everybody needs a plumber.
- 15:41Speaker 1: That's true. Well, I just threw out Timu talking about
- 15:46Speaker 1: getting deliveries. And I threw out Timu, and a lot
- 15:48Speaker 1: of people want to talk about Timu.
- 15:50Speaker 2: Okay, Larry. I love Timu.
- 15:53Speaker 7: I love everything I get, and if I don't love it,
- 15:56Speaker 7: I send it back, and they give me the credit
- 15:58Speaker 7: right away.
- 15:59Speaker 2: I wear them to work.
- 16:00Speaker 3: Everybody compliments them.
- 16:02Speaker 2: They ask me where I get them. I say Neiman Marcus.
- 16:05Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah, there's the difference between you and me. If
- 16:10Speaker 1: I get something and I don't like it, I usually
- 16:12Speaker 1: just throw it out. But sending it back, that's really smart,
- 16:16Speaker 1: and I just wish I had– I wish I was
- 16:19Speaker 1: a different person. What is that service? What is that
- 16:21Speaker 1: service you're talking about? It's a Chinese company, and they
- 16:26Speaker 1: undercut Amazon.
- 16:28Speaker 2: Red China?
- 16:29Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. It's Red China.
- 16:30Speaker 2: So they get all your information.
- 16:31Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter because the prices are so damn low.
- 16:35Speaker 2: They're so cheap.
- 16:36Speaker 1: It's amazing.
- 16:37Speaker 2: They're getting all your information. I don't buy from Timu.
- 16:41Speaker 1: You've never bought from Timu?
- 16:43Speaker 6: No.
- 16:43Speaker 2: You're the only.
- 16:44Speaker 1: Person I know, except Curtis who didn't even hear of it.
- 16:47Speaker 1: You're the only person I know that hasn't. I've been tempted.
- 16:50Speaker 1: How did you not know about Timu? They advertise everywhere,
- 16:53Speaker 1: anywhere you go.
- 16:54Speaker 2: I hate that. I hate, as you know, all the
- 16:56Speaker 2: delivery services starting with Amazon.
- 16:59Speaker 1: Now let's get the news at 7.30 with Daria Albinger.
- 17:02Speaker 2: Daria.
- 17:02Speaker 7: Never bought anything from Timu either.

- 17:10Speaker 7: President Trump says he wants to talk to Russian leader
- 17:12Speaker 7: Vladimir Putin as soon as he can about reports of
- 17:14Speaker 7: the pneumonic plague in Russia. after the death of a
- 17:17Speaker 7: researcher at an anti-plague institute in Siberia.
- 17:20Speaker 5: Under a global health pact, countries have 24 hours to
- 17:23Speaker 5: report anything that could become an international emergency. Russia yesterday
- 17:28Speaker 5: told the World Health Organization the 28-year-old died of pneumonia,
- 17:32Speaker 5: that her illness looked like an ordinary respiratory virus, and
- 17:35Speaker 5: that no plague was found. The WHO wrote back asking
- 17:39Speaker 5: what caused her pneumonia. And overnight, it was still waiting
- 17:42Speaker 5: for the answer.
- 17:43Speaker 7: ABC's Hannah Batta today marks three years since a Hamas
- 17:47Speaker 7: attack on Israel, which resulted in more than 1,200 deaths
- 17:50Speaker 7: and hundreds of kidnappings. The International Fellowship of Christians and
- 17:54Speaker 7: Jews says there has been an increase on attacks on
- 17:57Speaker 7: synagogues ever since. Students at Cornell are planning to skip
- 18:00Speaker 7: class today in protest of an alleged 2024 gang rape
- 18:04Speaker 7: on campus.
- 18:04Speaker 10: The school's newspaper is reporting what's called a seven-hour sit-in
- 18:08Speaker 10: this afternoon and evening will show solidarity with survivors of
- 18:11Speaker 10: sex assault. Meanwhile, Cornell faculty is preparing a no-confidence vote

- 18:22Speaker 10: University President Michael Kotikoff tells the student newspaper there will
- 18:25Speaker 10: be proposals going forward to try and improve the culture
- 18:28Speaker 10: and address the problem.
- 18:30Speaker 1: We are listening.
- 18:30Speaker 2: We are learning.

- 18:35Speaker 10: how the university responded. I'm Scott Pringle, WOR News.

- 18:41Speaker 7: Legionnaire's disease on Staten Island following an investigation into the
- 18:44Speaker 7: hot water system. at the Castleton Park Apartments. They say

- 18:57Speaker 7: bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what, every time Donald Trump misspeaks
- 19:05Speaker 1: in one of these rallies, wow, does everybody go with it.
- 19:10Speaker 1: There's been a couple of recently, and we'll go through
- 19:12Speaker 1: them just so just so that people can rant about,
- 19:17Speaker 1: you know, he's ridiculous, he meant this, he's going to
- 19:20Speaker 1: do this, and all of it is just in jest.
- 19:23Speaker 1: But we'll play it when we come back. Now let
- 19:26Speaker 1: me tell you about LifeVac. I told you a moment
- 19:30Speaker 1: ago of all of the lives just recently that LifeVac
- 19:34Speaker 1: is saved. And that's exactly how fast something can happen.
- 19:39Speaker 1: There was a woman that started choking in her own
- 19:43Speaker 1: apartment and there was no one else around. And guess what?
- 19:46Speaker 1: She had a life vac and she saved a life,
- 19:48Speaker 1: her own life. Seconds matter when something like that happens.
- 19:53Speaker 1: Having the right piece of equipment right nearby matters. And
- 19:58Speaker 1: that's why you should have life vac. It's the first
- 20:00Speaker 1: and only FDA authorized suction anti-choking device to be used
- 20:05Speaker 1: for second line treatment when recommended choking protocols have been
- 20:09Speaker 1: followed regularly. without success. And here's what's remarkable. LifeVac has
- 20:14Speaker 1: helped save over 6,000 lives worldwide. That's not just a number.
- 20:19Speaker 1: Those are real people, real families, real second chances. Preparedness matters.
- 20:25Speaker 1: Having the right tool nearby can make all the difference
- 20:28Speaker 1: in the world. Learn more about LifeVac today at LifeVac.net.

- 20:38Speaker 1: time it counts.
- 20:39Speaker 3: Larry, the president of the United States, Donald Trump is
- 20:43Speaker 3: living up to his promise to barnstorm every area he
- 20:47Speaker 3: possibly can between now and November 3rd. It was the
- 20:52Speaker 3: other night he was at Grand Island, Nebraska, packed crowd,
- 20:56Speaker 3: unexpectedly a very close race for senator. I think the
- 21:01Speaker 3: Republican Senator Ricketts and an independent, which I haven't quite
- 21:05Speaker 3: yet figured out, but Let's face it, he's sort of
- 21:09Speaker 3: like the substitute for the Democrat. But it's neck and neck,
- 21:11Speaker 3: like it seems to be in a lot of Senate
- 21:13Speaker 3: races all over the country. And the president was talking
- 21:17Speaker 3: about issues that affect people in Nebraska. And then he
- 21:21Speaker 3: started talking about why you got to sacrifice a little
- 21:25Speaker 3: bit by paying more prices in order to deal with
- 21:29Speaker 3: Iran and its nuclear threat. And then he dropped a statement.
- 21:35Speaker 3: that resonated that the White House had to respond to yesterday.
- 21:39Speaker 3: So let's play that statement.
- 21:40Speaker 2: If they can take out a city, let them take
- 21:44Speaker 2: out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.
- 21:46Speaker 1: This is a very.
- 21:48Speaker 10: Small price to pay.
- 21:51Speaker 2: So the crowd is enthusiastic. They're up. They're clapping. Clearly,
- 21:59Speaker 2: we're at war with Iran because now he mentions war
- 22:01Speaker 2: with Iran all the time. He doesn't... He doesn't downplay
- 22:05Speaker 2: it at all. But that's not a good sound. It's
- 22:08Speaker 2: not a good look. It hurts Republicans running in California, obviously,
- 22:13Speaker 2: San Diego, Los Angeles, very big cities. So I don't
- 22:18Speaker 2: understand it. And he doesn't have a press spokesman. So
- 22:21Speaker 2: the person who did respond is Stephen Chung, doesn't have
- 22:24Speaker 2: the best bedside manner. And so he responded yesterday. He said,
- 22:30Speaker 2: the media freak out over Trump's comments is not rooted
- 22:34Speaker 2: in reality. He was clearly stating versus us U.S. cities
- 22:39Speaker 2: would have been threatened if a nuclear Iran had been stopped.
- 22:42Speaker 2: America is safer because of Trump.
- 22:46Speaker 3: Why would the president say something like that in the
- 22:48Speaker 3: middle of a very heated campaign? where both sides are
- 22:53Speaker 3: running either with them or against them. Let's face it,
- 22:55Speaker 3: the whole Democratic campaign is anti-Trump. And if you're running
- 22:58Speaker 3: as a Republican, other than Susan Collins and a few others,
- 23:02Speaker 3: you're attached to Donald Trump.
- 23:03Speaker 2: So why would he drop that?
- 23:05Speaker 1: I understand why you wanted to talk about it, and
- 23:08Speaker 1: I understand, even though it's two days old, why we're
- 23:10Speaker 1: talking about it today. And it was heavily played on CNN,
- 23:17Speaker 1: and it was heavily played on MSNBC and all the
- 23:20Speaker 1: usual suspects. I get that. But do you trust factcheck.org?
- 23:26Speaker 1: They're pretty objective, right? They usually side against the president
- 23:30Speaker 1: on these things.
- 23:31Speaker 2: What does that have to do with what he said?
- 23:33Speaker 2: I just listened.
- 23:34Speaker 1: To what he said. No, you just heard a clip
- 23:36Speaker 1: of what he said. That's what out of context means,
- 23:39Speaker 1: to take something out of context. I'd be very interested
- 23:42Speaker 1: to see your spin on this.
- 23:43Speaker 2: It's not mine.
- 23:44Speaker 1: It isn't mine. I'm going to read to you from factcheck.org, who,
- 23:47Speaker 1: by the way, is the go-to source for these type
- 23:50Speaker 1: of things. It was taken out of context. His remarks
- 23:55Speaker 1: did not advocate an attack on U.S. cities or suggest
- 23:59Speaker 1: their destruction would be an acceptable cost. Trump first referenced
- 24:03Speaker 1: the war in Iran a few minutes into his Nebraska speech. Quote,
- 24:08Speaker 1: We're saving the world from what could be one of
- 24:10Speaker 1: the worst tragedies ever, he said, adding that the war
- 24:13Speaker 1: could end soon, and when it does, the price of
- 24:16Speaker 1: oil will come tumbling down. After riffing on other topics,
- 24:19Speaker 1: he eventually came back to the subject of the war
- 24:21Speaker 1: and which is when he made his controversial comments about
- 24:25Speaker 1: Los Angeles and San Diego. What immediately preceded those statements, however,
- 24:30Speaker 1: suggests that Trump wasn't calling for the destruction of those cities,
- 24:33Speaker 1: but rather saying that protecting them is worth paying a
- 24:37Speaker 1: bit more at the pump. It's a little bit high.
- 24:40Speaker 1: It's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe,
- 24:44Speaker 1: keeping our country safe. They would take out a city.
- 24:49Speaker 1: That's what he said before that.
- 24:51Speaker 3: The only people who have that capacity now who didn't
- 24:53Speaker 3: have nuclear weapons before is North Korea, who now have
- 24:57Speaker 3: the ballistic capacity to deliver 57 warheads, as the president
- 25:01Speaker 3: recently said. They can reach the West Coast. Iran has
- 25:04Speaker 3: no ability to reach the West Coast.
- 25:06Speaker 2: Okay. So why would he mention L.A., San Diego?
- 25:10Speaker 1: Because they're working on nuclear weapons. That's the whole reason
- 25:13Speaker 1: we're doing this. You heard from the beginning what the
- 25:16Speaker 1: reason was for going in, and he's been pretty consistent
- 25:19Speaker 1: in saying that over and over again. So when they
- 25:22Speaker 1: get nuclear weapons, why do you think they would use them,
- 25:25Speaker 1: and wouldn't they then want to use them against us?
- 25:28Speaker 3: Well, no, they would use it on Europe. They're closer, Israel,
- 25:32Speaker 3: and maybe if they had the capacity, the East Coast,
- 25:35Speaker 3: New York, Washington, D.C., I got to hit L.A., San Diego.
- 25:39Speaker 1: Right now, no. But what his point is, he doesn't
- 25:42Speaker 1: want them to be used against the United States. You're
- 25:44Speaker 1: deflecting a little bit. So when you hear it in
- 25:47Speaker 1: context now, does that change your mind?
- 25:49Speaker 3: Well, if I'm a Republican in California struggling to run
- 25:52Speaker 3: and they all condemned him for that. He's not helping
- 25:56Speaker 3: Republicans get elected, and he needs to win the House.
- 25:58Speaker 1: Right, because it was all taken out of context, and
- 26:01Speaker 1: it was run by you and by CNN and by everybody.
- 26:04Speaker 1: Everybody was giddy about it. Oh, we got him, we
- 26:07Speaker 1: got him, we got him. But when you really do
- 26:10Speaker 1: your work and you listen and you get the whole
- 26:13Speaker 1: speech and you go to objective sources like factcheck.org, you
- 26:17Speaker 1: can understand that. And believe me, I get politics. I
- 26:22Speaker 1: understand that the Republicans would do the same thing. There's
- 26:24Speaker 1: no question they'd do the same thing. Take this out
- 26:26Speaker 1: of context to make a political point. But, If we
- 26:30Speaker 1: want to deal in facts, that's not what he meant.
- 26:32Speaker 3: Look, it ain't helping the Republicans. I'm sensing a bloodbath
- 26:35Speaker 3: is coming, Larry. So you can say he misspoke or
- 26:39Speaker 3: maybe he meant one thing or not. It doesn't come
- 26:42Speaker 3: across well. And he's had a series of these verbal
- 26:46Speaker 3: faux pas that are not helping Republicans on the stump.
- 26:49Speaker 1: What you just heard from factcheck.org, it wasn't a verbal
- 26:53Speaker 1: faux pas. It was taken as an ad. It was
- 26:57Speaker 1: taken out of context. It was run on the news.
- 27:00Speaker 1: Just that small statement, not the entire thought.
- 27:04Speaker 3: But if I'm the Republican in California trying to win
- 27:06Speaker 3: House seats, some of them, they're ahead. That is going
- 27:09Speaker 3: to be used against me by my Democratic opponent over
- 27:13Speaker 3: and over and over. It ain't helping Republicans, Larry.
- 27:16Speaker 2: This is the whole thing.
- 27:17Speaker 1: The Republicans ain't looking at California, and it doesn't really
- 27:20Speaker 1: make any difference. It's not the point. It is the
- 27:23Speaker 1: point that, yes, they're going to play dirty, and the
- 27:26Speaker 1: Republicans are too, and they're going to take things out
- 27:28Speaker 1: of context, and they're going to play it, and you
- 27:31Speaker 1: fell for it. And so you're grabbing onto it. You
- 27:33Speaker 1: think it's going to be the biggest thing. It's going
- 27:35Speaker 1: to change the election. It's one of many Trumpisms. We're
- 27:39Speaker 1: looking at a bloodbath here. Get prepared. I don't think
- 27:43Speaker 1: we're getting the bloodbath.
- 27:43Speaker 6: Okay.
- 27:44Speaker 1: I don't think we're getting the bloodbath. And this is
- 27:46Speaker 1: somebody that looks at this stuff every single day. I
- 27:49Speaker 1: think they're going to lose the House. There's definite. I
- 27:52Speaker 1: think the Senate right now is a toss up.
- 27:55Speaker 2: This ain't helping it. It doesn't help.
- 27:58Speaker 1: It because you want to talk about it and CNN
- 28:00Speaker 1: wants to talk about it. I didn't even bring it
- 28:02Speaker 1: up yesterday.
- 28:03Speaker 2: It was all over the news.
- 28:05Speaker 1: Right, and I thought to myself, whoa.
- 28:07Speaker 2: The Republicans brought it up in California.
- 28:09Speaker 1: We talked about it in the morning and you waited
- 28:12Speaker 1: until today.
- 28:12Speaker 2: Oh, Larry, come on. We talked about it in the morning.
- 28:15Speaker 3: Up next, let's talk about something more important to us here.
- 28:18Speaker 3: Game three for the Yankees. And Natalia Migliore was out
- 28:22Speaker 3: in the streets to find out.
- 28:26Speaker 2: New York fans still pulling mind, heart, and soul for
- 28:29Speaker 2: the Yankees? My tech.
- 28:32Speaker 9: Now, it's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
- 28:39Speaker 3: Ah, Natalie from the streets where it could be one
- 28:43Speaker 3: and done. Tonight, Yankee Stadium, they're down two to Tampa.
- 28:48Speaker 3: What was the responses from the Yankee cognoscente and also
- 28:53Speaker 3: the non-Yankee cognoscente?
- 28:54Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, the Yankees head back to the Bronx in
- 28:58Speaker 11: a do-or-die ALDS game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The
- 29:01Speaker 11: Rays are up 2-0 in the best-of-five series, so they
- 29:05Speaker 11: really are going to have to make an impact tonight.
- 29:08Speaker 8: Basketball preseason is underway.
- 29:10Speaker 11: NHL is back on the ice with the Rangers beating
- 29:13Speaker 11: the Islanders at MSG last night. So the question is,
- 29:17Speaker 11: are fans, particularly in Queens, even if they're.
- 29:22Speaker 8: Wearing Yankee hats.
- 29:24Speaker 2: Are they?
- 29:25Speaker 8: It's true.
- 29:26Speaker 11: Because people are walking around with Yankee hats and you're
- 29:29Speaker 11: going to find out.
- 29:30Speaker 8: Are they paying attention to the MLB postseason?
- 29:33Speaker 2: Sadly, no. I'm a total fake fan.
- 29:37Speaker 1: I just got back from LA.
- 29:40Speaker 10: In queens and i live in queens which is even
- 29:41Speaker 10: worse i do have a mets hat i thought about
- 29:43Speaker 10: wearing it.
- 29:44Speaker 2: And of course here i am caught without it so
- 29:46Speaker 2: i deserve this i deserve.
- 29:48Speaker 8: It no not at all what's your sport.
- 29:51Speaker 1: I don't like any of the athletes anymore since some
- 29:54Speaker 1: of them started taking a knee with the national anthem
- 29:56Speaker 1: that's it not this week No.
- 29:59Speaker 11: Is there just sort of like a superstition surrounding it
- 30:02Speaker 11: right now?
- 30:03Speaker 12: Yeah, and they're playing a little embarrassing right now, so
- 30:06Speaker 12: I'd rather them get out of it on their own.
- 30:09Speaker 11: Yeah, they are going to have to get out of
- 30:10Speaker 11: it on their own because Yankees fans are trying to
- 30:12Speaker 11: stay positive after watching the team make three errors in
- 30:16Speaker 11: just the first inning in Game 2. You should have
- 30:19Speaker 11: seen me on the couch clutching the blanket as.
- 30:23Speaker 2: I was like, what is going on?
- 30:26Speaker 13: But.
- 30:27Speaker 8: It only got worse from there.
- 30:29Speaker 11: Still, Yankees spirit is going strong, so strong that in
- 30:33Speaker 11: the middle of Astoria, there are just as many Yankees
- 30:37Speaker 11: hats as there are Mets hats.
- 30:40Speaker 8: And I had to ask, what's up with that?
- 30:43Speaker 2: I wish I had an answer for that.
- 30:45Speaker 12: I'm from the Bronx and I've lived in Queens now
- 30:47Speaker 12: for 17 years, but so that's home. I grew up
- 30:50Speaker 12: 10 blocks away from the stadium, but Yeah, this is
- 30:52Speaker 12: home now. And unfortunately, the Mets have also been terrible.
- 30:55Speaker 2: So I mean, people just.
- 30:57Speaker 13: Wear Yankee hats because it's like the most popular thing,
- 31:00Speaker 13: I think. But like, I think you'll see more Mets
- 31:03Speaker 13: fans when there are actual games happening because they're always
- 31:06Speaker 13: going to the bars, especially right here on Broadway. But
- 31:08Speaker 13: I feel like everyone is just wearing Yankee hats to
- 31:10Speaker 13: say like, oh, yeah, like I'm showing off that I'm
- 31:12Speaker 13: living in New York, you know?
- 31:14Speaker 11: Yeah, the Mets fan just calling it like she sees it. Typically,
- 31:17Speaker 11: I could stop somebody with a Yankee hat. And sometimes,
- 31:21Speaker 11: especially if you're in the middle of Midtown, they have
- 31:23Speaker 11: an accent that, and they'll tell you they're not from.
- 31:26Speaker 8: It's not a New York accent.
- 31:27Speaker 11: They're like, oh, I'm from Germany.
- 31:29Speaker 8: And you're like, oh, okay. So you feel like you're
- 31:32Speaker 8: in New, it's the feeling of New York. I don't
- 31:34Speaker 8: typically see tourists wearing Mets hats.
- 31:36Speaker 2: No, they don't want to be losers.
- 31:41Speaker 8: And the funny thing.
- 31:42Speaker 11: About going around asking people about, You would think I
- 31:48Speaker 11: was asking them a hard-hitting political question.
- 31:50Speaker 1: The Knicks changed all that.
- 31:53Speaker 11: But the problem is, is that it's because Yankees fans,
- 31:57Speaker 11: we're down. The Yankees are down. So they don't want
- 31:59Speaker 11: to jinx it. There's just like sense of superstition. As
- 32:02Speaker 11: I was talking to one of the guys, is it
- 32:05Speaker 11: the sense of superstition? And the Mets fans, they just
- 32:08Speaker 11: don't want to see anything good for the Yankees.
- 32:13Speaker 8: Now, I had to like masquerade. I had to be
- 32:15Speaker 8: really neutral out there.
- 32:18Speaker 11: No, but it's cool because sports are fun. Now, Max
- 32:20Speaker 11: Reed will take the mound for the Yankees with Nick
- 32:23Speaker 11: Martinez starting for the Rays. The last time the Yankees
- 32:26Speaker 11: came back from a two-game deficit in the ALDS was
- 32:30Speaker 11: in 2017 against Cleveland.
- 32:33Speaker 8: So almost 10 years ago now.
- 32:36Speaker 11: Yankees fans feel like any win for New York is
- 32:39Speaker 11: a win.
- 32:41Speaker 8: Not so much for the Mets fans.
- 32:43Speaker 12: The Knicks changed all that. After seeing the city win,
- 32:45Speaker 12: I think my best case scenario is Yankees make it,
- 32:48Speaker 12: Mets make it, and then the Yankees would come out
- 32:49Speaker 12: on top.
- 32:50Speaker 2: So no more animosity.
- 32:51Speaker 12: The Knicks kind of changed that in the city.
- 32:53Speaker 2: I'm good now.
- 32:53Speaker 12: Because ultimately, we see the energy that's in the city now,
- 32:56Speaker 12: and so I think what's best for the city first,
- 32:58Speaker 12: and then you can root for your team after that.
- 33:00Speaker 2: So New York over everything. Except the Islanders. I support
- 33:03Speaker 2: all New York teams.
- 33:04Speaker 11: I just got caught in the middle of Queens without
- 33:06Speaker 11: a Queens hat, so I feel like the fool.
- 33:09Speaker 13: Eh, I don't really care, honestly, for the Yankees. But, yeah,
- 33:14Speaker 13: I don't really like seeing them win. I feel like
- 33:16Speaker 13: they have enough wins.
- 33:17Speaker 8: Do you see the difference?
- 33:18Speaker 2: Yes, I hear you see the difference.
- 33:20Speaker 1: Start some positivity with the Yankee fan.
- 33:22Speaker 6: Get a match.
- 33:23Speaker 8: They have too many wins. Too many wins.
- 33:27Speaker 2: There's two things I pick up from this.
- 33:29Speaker 6: Yes.
- 33:29Speaker 2: You were talking to a lot of millennials. I could
- 33:31Speaker 2: tell from the voice.
- 33:32Speaker 7: Okay.
- 33:32Speaker 10: Thank you.
- 33:33Speaker 3: Recent transports from probably other states. So they want to
- 33:38Speaker 3: wear a Yankee cat because I'm a real New Yorker.
- 33:40Speaker 3: You know, that's like synonymous with New York. I get that.
- 33:43Speaker 3: Then you heard the guy from the Bronx. Raised in
- 33:45Speaker 3: the Bronx. I'm not giving up my loyalty to the Yankees,
- 33:48Speaker 3: even though I've lived in Queens for 18 years. That's
- 33:51Speaker 3: a real fan, unlike Sid Rosenberg over at WABC, who
- 33:55Speaker 3: gave up the Mets and cursed the Yankees.
- 33:58Speaker 2: Don't bring none of that.
- 33:59Speaker 8: To my segment here. And I don't want the bad juju.
- 34:04Speaker 11: The Yankees need this, okay?
- 34:06Speaker 2: And I think.
- 34:08Speaker 8: Look, sports is a great thing.
- 34:09Speaker 11: And I think the crazy thing that I found yesterday
- 34:11Speaker 11: or when I was talking to these people is like,
- 34:14Speaker 11: the crazy thing is like, why are we taking it
- 34:16Speaker 11: so seriously? But I think people feel like They're so
- 34:21Speaker 11: close to tasting a win again.
- 34:24Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 34:24Speaker 8: And they loved what they felt with the Knicks, and
- 34:27Speaker 8: they want that again, you know?
- 34:28Speaker 2: Wow.
- 34:29Speaker 1: The one guy you had that said that, what you
- 34:31Speaker 1: just said, was brilliant. I love that guy. The guy
- 34:34Speaker 1: that said, he's just cheering for New York at this point,
- 34:37Speaker 1: just like Curtis.
- 34:38Speaker 2: He's a street philosopher. Hell no, I hate the Mets. Oh, God.
- 34:42Speaker 3: But anyway, Natalie Migliore will be back with us, same time,
- 34:45Speaker 3: same place, tomorrow at 7.50.
