Hour 1: Marathon and Halloween weekend · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Wow, huge weekend coming up, especially for you, Larry and Natalie,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: and our WOR710 staff, and Natalie Migliore, the coverage of
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the Marathon on Sunday.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: But before we even get to the start.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: Can I say one thing that jumped out at me
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: that I can't get out of my head? Mild and 62.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Sunny and 62. That's what Ray Stajic just said for
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: the marathon. Is that perfect weather for a marathon? It's
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: close to perfect.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: Probably close to perfect for us and the spectators.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: The runners like it.
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: A little bit cooler, but it's still going to be
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: in the 40s at the start.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's perfect.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's perfect. That's perfect for them. I cannot wait.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I'm glad you brought it up. I cannot wait for
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: the marathon, the excitement of the marathon.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a marathon for you and Natalie
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: because not only do you have marathon coverage, then you
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: have election night coverage. So thank God it is daylight
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: savings time. Remember, you got to roll the clock back.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: You get an extra hour starting at 2 a.m.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: On Sunday.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: You roll it back.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: So you can imagine there are some people, it always happens,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: where they don't have the technology that does it automatically.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: And they get up and they realize, damn, I could
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: have slept an additional hour. Why is it so dark outside?
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Normally it's light at this time. And this sort of
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: brings us into the midterm elections. A man who was
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: like a fixture on the Fox News channel, always coming
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: to the aid of President Donald Trump, especially when it
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: came to foreign affairs, which he's an expert.
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: U.S.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Remember how they got into that dispute about daylight savings
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: time and Tom Cotton and some of the other senators
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: who were in the farm areas? are opposed to what
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Trump wants to do, the Sunshine Protection Act, that would
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: make daylight savings time permanent. And then Trump put on
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: his truth social network that millions look at Tom Cotton's
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: personal phone number and said, call him and tell him
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: to rescind his opposition. I don't know if you've noticed,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: he was always a great spokesman. I haven't heard, seen, hide,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: nor hear of him. He's obviously campaigning in Arkansas. Republican candidates.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: But I think he took that to heart. And by
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the way, that reminds me of Lindsey Graham. Remember in
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: 2016 in that heated primary when all of a sudden
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Trump was upset with what Lindsey said about him? He
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: was one of the participants running for president and he
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: gave out his cell phone number, remember, at one of
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: those rallies.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I don't think this is unusual in Trump world. If
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: you've noticed, he can turn on you in a second
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: and then love you the next day. It happens all
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: the time. By the way, the bill that is called
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: the Sunshine Protection Act, it's one of my favorite named
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: bills of all time, the Sunshine Protection Act. And I
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: think most of America, when you poll most of America,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: want that. They want to get rid of daylight savings times.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: It's ridiculous.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Overwhelming. And the argument that Tom Cotton has said, hey,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: you know, when the sun rises at 830, that's bad
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: because kids are going to school in the dark. You know,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: because normally the sun rising would be about 730 while
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: we're on the air would be rising 830. uh, in the,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: these times where you roll back an hour. So remember
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: good news for you, Natalie, good news for you, Larry,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: for all the coverage, you're going to get an extra
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: hour of sleep. So don't forget out there, roll that
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: cock back an hour. But let me tell you, uh,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: speaking of what you're doing, my day is book solid
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Saturday for the now world's biggest Halloween parade. It's in
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Greenwich village. It starts at six and I go to
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: about 12 midnight. I and the Guardian Angels participate every year.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see the political costumes. A
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: lot of people come dressed up as Donald Trump. A
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: lot of people came dressed up as me last year
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: in the mayoral election. But let's see what's going to
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: happen because I'm there from beginning to end. So I'll
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: be able to report to all of you on Monday.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: What were some of the more unique costumes? Because some people...
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: they developed their costumes for a whole year. It's sort
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: of like a carnival in Rio, you know, spend a
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: whole year developing it. It's really become outstanding. So I'll
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: be able to report to all of you, but I
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: got to tell you, I don't think Nancy is coming.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: She normally loves Halloween is her favorite holiday. She is
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: sitting shiver for the loss of the barn owls, you know,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: not far from where we live. We live right near
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: central park and, 75th, 76th off Central Park West, one
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: of the apartment buildings has a water tower, one of
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: these old wooden water towers which proliferate in Manhattan. There
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: are birdies downstairs. They have telescopes, binoculars, people coming. They're
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: bringing their children, their grandchildren. It's even superseded what was
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the following for Flaco. Remember the escaped owl because Flaco
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: flew all over the place. These two adult owls, the
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: mama and the papa and the six owlets have been
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: pretty sedentary, except obviously the adults go out and forage
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: for food for the three baby owls, the six baby owls.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Well, guess what?
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: A construction crew arrived yesterday, you know, with their hard hats.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: They started to disassemble the wooden water tower, which caused
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the owls to disperse. Now, you know, these birders, they
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: got like GPS on these owls. All they've spotted is
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: one lonely baby owl, which seems to be perched at
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: a building nearby.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: They haven't been able to spot the other five.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Whoever owns that building, whether it is a consortium, an
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: LLC partnership, or if it's an individual owner-operator, they will
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: become the Dracula landlord of this year and maybe forever if,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: in fact, they ordered the replacement of that water tower
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to get those owls away.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: It's a shame because you know it was just a mistake.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: This is scheduled. They'd probably do it this time every
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: year or whenever it comes around. Why would they do
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: it on purpose?
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Because they don't want the owls there.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: They don't want the attention. They don't want the attention?
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Now they're going to get more attention than they ever
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: thought that they'd ever get, and it'll all be in
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the negative.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: They don't want the attention of a street that's already
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: crowded of people just stopping. It's silly.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: You don't understand how some of these folks are on
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: the Upper West Side. For all the supporters of the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: owls and the baby owls, there are detractors. And obviously,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: this had to be signed off by the owners and
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the operators. Couldn't have happened at a worse time. Now,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I would love to see if this is a regular thing,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the cleaning up the water tower. I mean, I'm wondering
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: if it's even required.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? My feeling is it has
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: to be.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Boy, are they going to claim that it's Legionnaire's disease
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to force them.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: To do this?
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, no.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: But if you're going to have a water tower, you're
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: going to have to maintain it. And the maintenance has
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: to happen regularly. So what I'm thinking is this is
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: just regular maintenance. It's a mistake. Either way, it's a mistake.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: But I'm not sure it was on purpose.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Let's see if they actually are bold enough to come
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: forward and speak on their behalf of why they decided
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: to do it now and not delay. Because, you know,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: there are all kinds of advocates out there. They'll be
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: protesting outside. There are rules and regulations that affect these
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: species that you can't displace them. So let's see how
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: this plays out. But I'm pissed off because this is
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: my wife's favorite time of year. Favorite time of year, Halloween.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: And she is really upset. There are a lot of people,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: you know, you know the birders. You've seen them with
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the telescopes. They spend their whole day following these birds.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: And it is a disgrace. Now, speaking of my wife,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: we went out to fetch our brother-in-law was flying in
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: a JFK.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: And what a great experience.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Even though we took mass transportation, which is not the
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: best alternative like in other cities, Larry, where you can
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: go from center city, you know, right out to an airport.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: Going to the airport around here is the most stressful,
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: annoying task to do.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: It's everywhere. Just about, I mean, any big city at
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: the airports are a pain in the neck. Try O'Hare
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: out in Chicago.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: I would do anything not to go to JFK.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Right, but you can go straight to O'Hare on the CTA.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: You can go straight to Midway in Chicago, one ride
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: on a subway. Here, you got to change. You got
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: to go from one chain to another chain.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, if you take the subway, see, most of us drive.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: And so it's kind of a straight way. But you're right.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: I didn't mean to interrupt you, but I think that
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: most people don't know what you were talking about, that
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: you have to take public transportation.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Even Cleveland and Stouffer Square downtown, they have an old
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: rickety subway that takes you out to the airport. But
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the reason it was good, we were stuck with everybody
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: who was coming in for the marathon. And a lot
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: of the French visitors, because I was trying to inquire
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: from them what's going on in their country. All of
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: a sudden, while they were here, they could speak perfect English.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Those same people, if you were visiting in France, right,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: would look at you if you were asking questions in English,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: you know, like, oh, God.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: And France is the only country that does that. I've
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: been through all the countries in Europe, and France is
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: the only one that won't speak English to you, even
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: though they know English. There's a certain arrogance about that
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: that ticks you off. They want you to ask them
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: if they speak English and then they will.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And I got to tell you, it was a
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: wonderful experience coming back, even though it's the same rickety rackety, dirty, homeless,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: emotionally disturbed, filled mass transit system subways. Because everybody was
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: euphoric to be here. You could see their eyes were
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: so grateful to be in New York for the marathon.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: And so whereas I normally talk, I just listened. And
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: it was just an outpouring of pride in their family
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: members because they come over as a family. And more importantly,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: that maybe they could win the medal, a medallion. that
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: they could wear forever. And when they go back to
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: their countries, oh my God, they're going to be the
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: talk of their town.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I talked about the same thing the other day
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: because we get to stay in a hotel the night before,
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: before we've, Natalie has been working now for like the
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: last month on this, but we get to, you know,
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: we have a meeting and we get to, we get
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: to hang out a little bit and everybody is there
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: in the hotels from around the world. And they're there
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: in groups. Usually there's running groups from Canada and Australia
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: and all this stuff. And it's, They are so thrilled
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: and so happy to be here. And you're right. They
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: work a long time for this moment. This is the
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: pinnacle of their running career, to make it to New
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: York City, to get accepted into the New York City Marathon,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: and then to finish and get that medal. It's awe-inspiring.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: I know the big runners get all the attention, the
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: professional runners get all the attention, but it's much more
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: than that. It's a global thing. personal event at the
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: same time, which is amazing. Let's get some talkbacks on
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: all of this. We have the talkbacks about Halloween. We
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: got the talkbacks about the marathon. We got the talkbacks
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: about the mall.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Daylight savings time.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Daylight savings time. That's another one. We got a lot
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: of topics on the table. Go to the iHeartRadio app.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Leave us a talkback. You could win a Curtis Lee
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: and Larry Menti in the morning t-shirt. which is going
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: to be awarded every day to our favorite talk back
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: in the morning. And while you're on the free iHeartRadio app,
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: be sure to set a preset for 710WOR. Don't forget,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: it's going to happen today. The best talk back of
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: the week takes home a C-Crane radio. Well, a legend
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: passed away. You may have already heard. If not, we're sorry.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: We're going to break the news to you next. Plus,
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: a chance to see comedian John Mulaney at age 25.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: They've got all kinds of... Well, we lost another great actor,
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: one of the best as a matter of fact, Patrick Stewart,
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: a revered English actor that you probably know from the
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: X-Men franchise or the Star Trek franchise where he was
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Captain Picard. But he started out, well, first of all,
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: he was born extremely poor in England in 1940. They
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: had no running water in their house. And he went
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: from there, he started as a journalist, then went to
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: drama school, and then became the star of Shakespearean acting
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: in England. This is Macbeth.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: This one did laugh in his sleep, and one cried, murder,
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: that they did wake each other. I stood and heard them,
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: but they did say their prayers and address them again
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: to sleep.
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: There are two lodged together.
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: One cried, God bless us, and amen, the other, as
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: they had seen me with tears. These hangman's hands, listening
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: their fear.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Man, it doesn't even sound like him, did it? I mean,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: he changed his voice. He changed his meter. He always
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: seemed to be the guy that was put in a
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: role where he was in charge, like in the Star
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: Trek movies.
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: I was linked to the hive mind.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Every trace of individuality erased. I was one of them.
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: So you can imagine, my dear, I have a somewhat
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: unique perspective on the Borg, and I know how to
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: fight them.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Captain Jean-Luc Picard. We are losing way too many people.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: He died, by the way, of something that afflicted my mother,
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: his Alzheimer's. He also had something called Lewy body dementia.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: And I'll have to look that up. I'm not sure
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: exactly why that's a different kind of dementia, but the.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: All the reports are that it was Alzheimer's disease, and
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: he gave a lot of money in his life, and
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: he gave a lot of money in his will to
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: the Alzheimer's Foundation. He was a great one, Curtis.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'm not a Trekkie, but boy, two Trekkies, two.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Different forms of the production, passed away in just one week.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: What does this leave, Captain Kirk and Takiyah?
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, Takiyah. he wasn't in the originals. No, no, no, no.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: He's in the reboots and the movies a little bit
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: later on. I think that was a different crew at
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: that time, but you're right.
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: You're right.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: He's, he is definitely another Trekkie. I did get to
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: interview him one time on the set of conspiracy theory. And, and,
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: you know, I never get nervous. I interviewed Mel Gibson
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: and Julia Roberts that day too. And I'm not nervous.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: I was nervous about him because he just has that
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: aura about him, you know, that he's, He's better than
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: you somehow as a Shakespearean actor. He was the nicest,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: most down to earth guy. He was asking questions about me.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Oh my God. He was just, I wanted to hang
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: out with him afterwards.
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: That's what I heard.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: I saw him three times on stage. I saw him
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: in the Macbeth, the Tempest and his one man Christmas
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: Carol show, which was probably the most incredible thing I've
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: ever seen on stage because you thought you saw sets
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: of 30 people, and it was one man and basically
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: a stool.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: It was incredible.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: And if you haven't seen the TV version of A
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: Christmas Carol, must watch.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Love that. Oh, that's a great suggestion. Let's get to
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: some talkbacks. And Curtis, this is something you've been complaining about.
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: These political commercials on television are killing us. You can
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: watch a one-hour show and see the same stupid political
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: commercials five, six, ten times within a one-hour show. What
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: do they tell all of the automobile manufacturers and toothpaste
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: manufacturers that they can't advertise during this time?
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: Ah!
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Well, they charge a lower rate, even though it's a
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: high rate in the New York market, a lower rate
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: than you would for Colgate toothpaste or any other product.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: And after a while, you become numb. I think it's
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: better for the candidates to stay online, to be part
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: of people's thread. than to run these constantly, like, oh
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: my God, Kate Conley is from Virginia.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: That's a Lola.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: And then Kate Conley, Lola supports AI data filing centers.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: Enough already.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: As he's saying that, he's pointing to the TV. We
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: have four screens. Sometimes there's a political ad on all
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: four stations.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: We have to ask Rob Astorino later on about this
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Lola-Kate Conley race, because there's more money in that congressional
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: race than any other in the nation.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Now let's get to Daria Albinger with the 630.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: News, Daria.

• 17:33
  Speaker 7: 171st Street and Cretona Place in the Claremont section when
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: he was shot in the stomach. It happened one block
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: over from Cretona Park, and he was rushed to St.

• 18:13
  Speaker 6: Arthur claims that Amy Acton is a liar. He says
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: she has a serious problem. The two haven't spoken since
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: Acton was 12. Well, there are questions and concerns after
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: a Long Island middle school student posted an anti-Semitic photo
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: on social media.
• 18:27
  Speaker 9: That photo, posted by a student at Merrick Avenue Middle,
• 18:31
  Speaker 9: shows him with a large swastika drawn on his back
• 18:34
  Speaker 9: and a message, Explodive the Jews. Sources say it happened
• 18:38
  Speaker 9: this summer when the teen fell asleep and friends drew
• 18:41
  Speaker 9: it on his back. He only posted it recently, which
• 18:44
  Speaker 9: is how it came to light this week. The student's
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: been suspended five days, but some parents and teachers in
• 18:50
  Speaker 9: the heavily Jewish community worry that won't change hate-filled hearts
• 18:54
  Speaker 9: and minds. They also want the teens who drew the
• 18:57
  Speaker 9: image suspended. Andrew Whitman, WOR News.
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: Binance has suspended deposits and withdrawals after the largest cyber

  Speaker 6: digital assets. The Islanders beat Minnesota 4-3 in overtime. Next news,
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: 7 o'clock bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710 WOR.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Up next, we're going to be talking about South Carolina,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: where the president was yesterday for Darlene Graham and El-Sayed.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: The drama continues in Michigan.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow. South Carolina yesterday.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: The Gamecock State had President Donald Trump coming in on
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: behalf of Darlene Graham, the U.S. senator running for re-election
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: for the seat that she was appointed to first and
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: then won in a Republican primary against Dr. Annie Andrews.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: And if you believe the polls, it's neck and neck.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: And Larry, number one is, I didn't know this about
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: South Carolina. I mean, we're going to have to call
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Joe Bartlett maybe on Monday because he's retired down there.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: He's playing bocce.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: But you can click on one button for a straight
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: party ticket, which I think helps Darlene Graham since it
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: is a majority Republican state. So naturally, it gives you
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: that opportunity. I'm not even going to click each. I'm
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: just going to one button vote for the ticket. I
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: think that actually helps her in the final. I've never
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: really heard of that before.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: No, a lot of states still have it. Actually, it's
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: been diminishing over the years, but it used to be
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: more than half the states had it. But right now
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: it's Alabama has it, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Oklahoma, and South Carolina.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: It's slowly been going away. I've voted on polling places.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: I've never voted straight party, but I've voted in polling
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: places that had it. They had it in Illinois when
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: I was living in Chicago, and they also had it
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: in Pennsylvania. And I think That it's on– I think
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: the parties that are dominant in a state like it
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: a lot. And then when the other party gets in,
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: they get rid of it.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? As soon as they can.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: So state by state by state. it's amazing how many
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: states used to have it. I mean, recently, this has
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: all been happening in like the last 15 to 20 years.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: It's slowly been going away.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: So you don't have to play your bingo card, go
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: from one line to another line. You just, boom, one
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: button serves on. Now, yesterday.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: And you can always tell somebody, by the way, that
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: voted straight ticket. Because they go in, they pull the curtain,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: and they're out like one second later.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: But anyway, it was interesting because Darlene Graham is just
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: an isolated.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: You know, she never raises her voice. She's always courteous.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: She never said anything defamatory about her opponent, Annie Andrews. Yesterday,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: they must have convinced her, you got to break from
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: that mold. She was cussing a little bit up there.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: She was raising her voice. The crowd was getting, you know,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: all pumped up. Obviously, the president had a big smile
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: on his face. But, you know, I've been the only
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: one saying, I think she's angry, and rightfully so. Because
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: remember how I've said politics is the dirtiest business, and
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: all they care about is, like Vince Lombardi said, the
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: only thing that counts is winning. Online, remember I had
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: mentioned that there's this campaign against Lindsey Graham, who's dead, gone.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, this is sick.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: They, first of all, refer to him as Lady Graham,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: and then they have three male prostitutes claiming they were
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: hired By Lindsey Graham over the.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: Years to have sex.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Now there's a second line of transvestites who are claiming
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: the same thing. I'm saying to myself, first of all,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: if it was true. What does his sister Darlene Graham
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: have to do with this?
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Nothing. Nothing. And again, this is a Democratic plot. I
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: know they're all going to say, oh, no, we had
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: nothing to do with that. No one believes you. It's
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: just like Alaska. Oh, no, we had nothing to do
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: with that. We'll talk about that a little bit later. But, man,
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: this is the dirtiest, dirtiest kind of politics. And I
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: hope there is a reaction against it.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Because it's so conservative, South Carolina, and so many evangelicals,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: it may cause some of them just not to vote.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Well, it's not her. I know that.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: You know that.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: And I'm sure they're smart enough to know that, too.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, I would hope that they're smart enough to
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: know that. That type of politics is disgusting. And here's
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: the problem with that type of politics. And this is
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: what we're going to talk about with Alaska. And it's
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: happened across the country. When things like that happen... You
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: should be able to charge somebody or sue somebody, but
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: they make the election laws so you can do anything
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: you want, and you just use the excuse of, well,
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: it's an election. Well, it's an election. Politicians will pass
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: laws to protect themselves quickly. Every other law gets a stalemate.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: To protect themselves, that happens quickly, but But this is
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: a perfect example of that. Somebody should pay for that
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: kind of credit.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Well, now let's flip the script to Michigan where the
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: soap opera continues. Remember, Haley Stevens barely lost to El-Sayed
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: in the Democratic primary by one percentage point. At the end,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: the next day, she endorsed El-Sayed. She then said, but
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to campaign with him. And then recently,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: her fiance said, I'm not only supporting Mike Rogers, his opponent,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: the Republican, I'm campaigning.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: With him, which he's doing now.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: And then over this past weekend, Haley Stevens was eviscerating El-Sayed,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: but saying still, I'm going to vote for him.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: I'm a loyal Democrat.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Well, guess who has decided that she is going to
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: campaign in a joint appearance with El-Sayed in a black
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: church in Detroit?
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: The theme is souls to the polls.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Guess who's going to be standing right next to him,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: raising his hand as if they were both running together
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: as a ticket for governor, lieutenant governor, which they're not.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Haley Stevens and El Saeed and wouldn't you have loved
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: to have been a fly on the wall to see
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: what quid pro quo deals were being made in the
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: back rooms to get her to suddenly decide I'm going
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: to campaign with him in the most visible way in
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: a black church in Detroit on Sunday. where you're going
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: to have a lot of prominent blacks who are there
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: trying to push the black vote, which he had.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Lost to Haley.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: He's losing some of it to Mike Rogers, who's living
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: in the African-American community in Detroit and benefiting from that.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: This is the way politics is.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: And then, of course... Wait a second. Let's talk some
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: more about this, because she's not the only one. I
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: know why she is so significant. But there are many
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: prominent politicians in Michigan who are Democrats who have pulled
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: support of him. And this is all happening recently. If
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: you've seen in the national news, Democratic spokespeople and Democrats
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: in office, Josh Gottheimer right here in New Jersey, have
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: now said, there's no way I can support this guy.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: I think that they know he's going to lose. It
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: looks that way. It just is trending that way. And
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: why be involved in somebody who is so controversial and
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: take the stain of that if he's going to lose?
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: That's why this is all happening right now.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Well, and then, of course, there was Donald Trump himself
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: who dressed down a Reuters reporter yesterday because they have
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: decided that they will cancel his public appearance in Iowa
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: and Kansas Saturday and Sunday for the candidates running there.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: And man, Trump was mad at this guy.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Are you sick to ask that question? You are sick.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: Who are you with?
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: I'm with Reuters, sir.
• 26:59
  Speaker 9: You are a sick guy. Reuters is terrible, by the way.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine?
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Look at this guy. He's way out of shape.
• 27:06
  Speaker 9: Look at how badly he.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Comes to me.
• 27:09
  Speaker 9: Sir, you're not going to go to Kansas. I'm not
• 27:11
  Speaker 9: going to Kansas because he's doing very well.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: For him to assume that it's because he's ill, that
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: he's sick, that there's something. That's what the reporter asked.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: Are you in poor health? Is that why you can't
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: go to Kansas? The guy just campaigned for 30 days
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: in a row on the road. Are you in poor health?
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Seriously?
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: I would have got pissed, too. Yeah, well, no.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: You know, he gets pissed easily, but this was a winner.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: Anyway, up next.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. See no evil, hear no evil, speak
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: no evil. As major Democrats were asked, hey, when an
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: illegal is arrested versus a citizen, do you downgrade the charges?
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. Nobody
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: would answer that question up next.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: I love, love, love great local journalism. And it's been
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: lacking recently. in New York City since Zoram Mamdani has
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: been mayor. But let me give credit to two journalists
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: at the New York Post, Kevin Sheehan and Alex Oliveira.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: They did a tremendous story and a tremendous service to
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: us all. Because there was a press conference yesterday at
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: One Police Plaza with Queens DA Melinda Katz, New York
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch and the New York State
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: Attorney General Letitia James. They were all there to brag
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: about all the guns they've taken off the streets. They
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: stood in front of a table. All these guns were
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: spread out. It was going to be such a positive
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: thing for them. And then I want you to hear
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: the question. that the New York Post asked, because it
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: was a brilliant question that brought every one of them
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: to silence. And the reason I'm prefacing all of this,
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: because I want you to also hear that the communication
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: director from the police department quickly said, oh, no, no, no,
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: you can't ask that. This is a question about guns.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: He knew it was an uncomfortable question. It was about
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: some hearings that are being held in Washington, congressional hearings,
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: that showed that police departments across the country have been
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: downgrading gun charges against those who are arrested and in
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: the country illegally so they won't be deported.
• 29:43
  Speaker 10: Getting guns off the street is not easy, and these
• 29:47
  Speaker 10: officers are putting their lives in jeopardy doing it. So
• 29:51
  Speaker 10: did any of you order prosecutors to downgrade gun charges
• 29:56
  Speaker 10: to keep illegal immigrants in the U.S.? Per the Judiciary
• 30:00
  Speaker 10: Committee report, the recent House just... Yeah, this is a
• 30:04
  Speaker 10: gun question. Any response from any of you?
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Jessica Tisch physically moved away from the podium. She was
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: the last one to speak. She got away from a
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: microphone as fast as she could. Letitia James looked stunned
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: at first. Then she just smiled and shrugged. Melissa Katz
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: mumbled something, and apparently she said, according to other reporters,
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: my answer wouldn't help. That's what she said. Let me
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: explain how this works, not just here, but all over
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: the country. The prosecutors, the DAs.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: So let's say you're a cop, Larry, and you make
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: a good collar on an illegal alien, right? You bring
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: it to the precinct. They call it in to an ADA.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Most times now they do a teleconference. It used to
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: be the ADA would have to come down and figure
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: out the charges. And what they do is they have
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: an expert in every DA's office in blue states. Every
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: DA here in New York City minus the Staten Island DA.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: And that is the person who makes the determination. So
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: if I got arrested on a serious charge, I'm a citizen,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: and an illegal alien got arrested on the same serious charge,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: it gets downgraded from a felony to a misdemeanor, sometimes
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: to a violation, and they slip through the cracks. And
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: we already know they do not inform ICE. because they
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: know who's illegal and who's not illegal. So it is
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: a situation in which if you're going to commit a crime,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: the best thing to be is an illegal alien.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely. And I also want to just get back
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: to the New York Post, because wonderful job, all of you,
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: because that non-answer was the answer we wanted. That non-answer
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: was a moment that showed us everything. That non-answer and
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: the look on their faces was guilt. That was absolute guilt.
• 32:07
