Highlights for Cutris and Larry · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

  Speaker 1: So Larry, Natalie, and our audience, just a quick update.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: If you happen to take the A, B, C, or
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: D lines for work, don't even bother today. They've had
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: a cracked track, and this is extraordinarily serious. I can
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: only tell you because I've seen work crews before.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: These are the guys, you know, they go down into
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: the tracks.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: It's like they're lifting the tracks up, and you really
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: got to be strong. Well, some of these tracks have cracked.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: And this is what's going to happen over time if
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: they're not replaced. So guess what? There's no A service,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: no B service, no C service, no D service.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Just take the numbered lines.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Where's all that congestion pricing money going?
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Good question.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: I thought that was supposed to fix it.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: It was all for infrastructure, wasn't it?
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: No, but it's... I've seen that when they replace a track,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: you know, and you can see it's cracked because, boy,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: you know, if it isn't detected and removed, a whole
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: train could go.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Off the track.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: And, oh, my God, the potential problems from that. So, hey,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: just a heads up, because when I was coming in today,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I was on the number one train. And I already
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: saw the MTA money-taking agency agents telling people avoid taking
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the A, B, C, or D because the tracks have cracked.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I've never heard that before. No, but it makes you think.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Immediately, I'm like, we need a major audit of MTA.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: We need to know where all this money is going
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: to because it obviously is not going to fix the tracks.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is a crack.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: In the wall of Governor Hochul, because remember, she's in
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: charge of the MTA. It's a state agency, especially when
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: it comes to repair and maintenance.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: This is a good.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Opportunity for Bruce Blakeman to move in on her on
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: this and say, how could all these tracks be cracking?
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Where's the normal maintenance? Where's the normal replacement of the track?
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's her problem, and it's Kathy's congestion pricing, too.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: This is her tax on all of us.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Now, let me ask you a situation that may be
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: a problem for everybody in New Jersey, because luckily I
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: have three boys, and I guess the old tradition still
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: survives with some families today. That when there is a marriage,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the father, the mother of the bride.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: pays most of the expenses. Is that still the tradition?
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: And the father of the son chips in. They usually
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: come forward and they say, hey, we can play for
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: the limos, we can pay for the flowers.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: You know, the cheap stuff. The cheap stuff, exactly.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: And Natalie, do you find that to be true that
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the bulk of the expense is borne by the family
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: of the bride?
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you'd think we'd gotten past that by now, but No,
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: it still seems that the bride's family does take a big,
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: big part of the responsibility of the payment of a
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: very expensive wedding.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: So they just did a survey. I couldn't believe this
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: when I read it. I read it like four times
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: that the most expensive state to get married in is
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: your state of New Jersey.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: And how much does it cost? Average.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: $ 57, 000.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Average.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: I would love to have only paid $ 57, 000. That seems like.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: On the low side from some of the weddings I've
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: been hearing. We're going to have to talk to Natalie
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Migliore about that, who's the one going through. And actually,
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: I think her venue, I'm not sure what state it is.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: It could be in New Jersey. But that's.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Still ridiculous, by the way.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: The national average is $ 30, 000 to $ 36, 000.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: Oh, where could we go?
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: And this is quantified on the fact that you have
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: about 125 to 150 guests. They factor in the per-person catering.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: By the way, is it an open bar most times?
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Yes. It is.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Okay. Oh, my gosh. Arkansas, $ 11, 000 for a wedding.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're telling you to bring your own.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Well, it's because it's in family. That's probably why in Arkansas. Utah, 17,000. Oh,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: my God.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: We can fly everybody there.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of marriages in Utah because Mormons.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: There's none of this, oh, you can live together outside
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: of marriage. No, you're getting married. You know what, college?
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: This is really an interesting stat. Has the most marriages,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: like people married? Brigham Young University. Brigham Young University, BYU.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I was there at the football field.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: For a Sean Hannity concert, you know, Great American concert,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I could not get any caffeine. I could not get
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Coca-Cola at that time I was addicted. They don't serve caffeine.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: You can't smoke cigarettes. They are strict in that Mormon state.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, I know. Imagine no caffeine. You know about the
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: magic underwear, right?
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Well, you know.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: Excuse me?
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: What? Yeah, Mitt Romney had to spend time on the
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: campaign trail when he lost to Barack Obama explaining how
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: much time it takes for him to put on the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: magic underwear each day.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Because when you are tempted to have sex, they want
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: your underwear very difficult to get off.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: So you can think about.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: What you're doing, what you're about to do, the sin
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: you're about to commit. Yeah.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: No way. Yes.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: How did I miss that?
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Natalie. Well, thank God you missed that. It is extensive.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Apparently, it's like being bound up with swaddling cloths and
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: appendages and all kinds of ace bandages.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: So what you're saying about like two minutes later, you're like, oh,
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: forget it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: It's not worth it.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: It's about 20 minutes to put on. 20 minutes, 20
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: minutes to a half hour to put on your underwear.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Like 60% of the BYU football team is married.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: They all run up to Vegas.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: I just saw a TikTok recently of two girls who
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: were going there. It was week two. They hold up
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: their hand with no ring with a sad face. Because
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: that was their only point of going there is to
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: find a husband.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: But let me bring it back to New Jersey here
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: because the last time we had in there, a discussion
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: about going to weddings, you know, the catering hall after
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the actual event. Larry was a bit in the blind
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: about the traditional booster bag. The booster bag helps offset
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the costs. Of the wedding by the donations that are
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: being made by, let's say, the guests here, 125 to 150.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Not in my family. There's no booster bag. No booster bag. Yeah,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: but people are giving cash. They sit there and try
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: to figure out how much it all costs. That's what
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: they're doing.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Larry, you're not coming with a blender, are you? I mean,
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: you're giving.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Cash at a wedding, right? What are you talking about?
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: When you go to a wedding as a guest, you
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: don't bring, like, a physical gift.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Do you?
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you give the money to the bride and groom.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that's it. But that's not the booster bag. Well,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: the booster bag is the bride care.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, the booster bag is just a... An
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: outlet to cash it.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I guess what I'm saying is what about me? What
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: about the guy that paid for it? Maybe the booster
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: bag should be for me. Should be yours? Larry, this
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: is how it's done.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: You're right.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: You're right. The wife, the new wife does not hold
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the booster bag. Neither does the groom because they're enjoying themselves.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: They're drinking. They may forget where the booster bag.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: It's usually the most curmudgeon woman from that family. It
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: could be an aunt. It could be the mother-in-law. But, man,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: they're guarding that. They're guarding every envelope that goes into
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: that booster bag. So you're a guarantee. And I think
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the rule of thumb is, Natalie, and correct me if
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I'm wrong, is that you have to at least match
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: how much it costs for the dinner.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: So if the dinner was like $ 175 up to $ 350,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: you got to at least cover the cost of that.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: That's what they say around here that you should attempt
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: to do if you can. But first off, you have
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: no idea what the cost is. I mean, nobody really
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: knows it. And if I had to cover the cost
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: for the weddings I was going to, I wouldn't be
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: going to any of them because I wouldn't be able
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: to afford it. So, yeah, you know, you can't be
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: cheap these days. You're not coming with $ 100.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, you can be cheap these days. You have to
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: meet my family. Man, I can't believe we started the show.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: I'm already ticked off. There's this bogus booster bag that
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: you're talking about where I pay for everything and then
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: the money is given to the bride and groom?
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: No, no, not the bride and groom. Usually one of
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the elder women. No, I get that. But where does
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: the money end up?
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, it goes to cover the expense of the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: wedding and then also a little bit of a cushion
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: for the brand new husband and bride. Maybe to put
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: a down payment on a divorce attorney because so many
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: of these unfortunately end up going their separate ways within
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: a year more. You know, Jacoby and Myers, one hires Jacoby,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the other hires Myers.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, you know, I would love to know for anybody
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: out there, ever went to a wedding that, you know,
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: ended quickly, divorce, I mean, ended quickly, and never got
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: money back. I'd love to know that. I've been to
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: bridal showers where the wedding never happened, and I got
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: the gift back.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: I just looked up booster bag, and it says nothing
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: about weddings.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: You know what it says?
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: Larry, it's a booster bag. It's not a booster bag.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: In organized crime, there's a booster bag.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there is.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: And they handle it like it's payments to organized crime. Oh,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: so that's what it is. This is an organized crime
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: wedding you're talking about. No, they run it that way.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: That means you have to... to pay a vig. You
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: have to pay for this wedding. And that's why it's important.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: You have your name on the envelope and the family
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: will write it into the ledger. And then you could
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: be shamed if you don't even cover the cost of
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: your meal.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: You don't have any daughters, right?
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Thank God I don't. And so far, nobody of marrying age.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Anthony's my oldest. I have three sons. It's Carter and Hunter.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: They are not of marrying age. Normally, people don't get
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: married now until their 30s. You know, like Chris here,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: he's Gen Z. On loan for us from the Mark
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Simone show, because Natalie is still recovering at home from
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: her knee surgery. Chris, your age group, generally, if they
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: get married, it's in their 30s, right?
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I only have one. I have two friends that
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: have been married so far, and I'm 28. I'll be 29.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Now, is your girlfriend hinting about weddings?
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: No. Marriage? No.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: We've only been together for like six months. That's enough.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: That's a lifetime. Neither of us are in a position
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: financially to get married. Well, you can get the booster bag.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Nobody ever is.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: No.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: The booster bag.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: We'll leave Natalie.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Mickley-Ori in this conversation. She would have a better idea.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's a good idea. Does she get a booster bag?
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Whatever you call it.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Probably.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: You think so?
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: There is no doubt about it.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: If I was with a woman for six months and
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: you always have to take her to visit your mom,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: my mother Francesca, no longer with us, would look at
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: me and say, Curtis, do you love this woman?
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: I'd say, yes, mom. Then you must marry her. You
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: must honor her.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Because if you don't marry her after six months of
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: being together.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Of dating.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: then you are bringing, you are disparaging the name Sliwa.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: I felt guilty.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Wow. Maybe that's why I got married so many times.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I became a serial marrier. How could you say no
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: to your mother?
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: She's a saint.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: So Larry, once a month the police commissioner Jessica Tisch
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: gets together with Mayor Zoran Mondami and they look at
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the stats and they dance the horror and the tarantella. Oh,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: crime is down, it's wonderful. What a wonderful life to live. Meantime,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: assaults in the subway have skyrocketed. They're up 10 percent.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Robberies are up 6 percent. And there's one particular case
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I'd like to focus on because we've had a series
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: of passengers who get pushed into the tracks. It's a
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: station that crashed himself one too many times that I've
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: been to many times. In fact, it was at 145
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: in the afternoon on Thursday at the Morris Park West
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Farm's 180th Street elevated station that a woman named Lydia Zunica,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: age 65, was taking the train as she does five
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: days a week to her job at NYU. And there
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: was a guy who came up behind her, pushed her
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: into the tracks as a train was starting to enter
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: the station. Luckily, the motorman spotted her. A good Samaritan
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: named Malik jumped down to make sure she didn't slip
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: through the cracks there because in an elevated station, you
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: could conceivably fall right to the street below Malik.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: And she was taken to St.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Barnabas, where she has a broken leg in three different places.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: The guy who did it just walked away, turned himself
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: into a psychiatric ward the next day for his medication.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: And he said, hey, by the way, I'm the guy
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: who pushed that woman into the tracks. And they came
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: to arrest him. What was so interesting about this case,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: because there have been so many of late, is this
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: woman was not going to stay quiet. From her hospital
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: bed at St. Barnabas, she said he should go to
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: jail for attempted murder, not to a psych ward where
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden they're going to release him and
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: put him on meds. No, it's a crime. I'm 65.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Nothing like this has ever happened to me in New
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: York City. All of a sudden I have to change
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: my life because of some fool that thinks they're sick.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: I'm angry. Hey, Mr.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Mayor, why don't you come see me? If the mayor
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: has enough guts, then he'd come to see me. I'll
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: tell him the subways are not safe. You better do
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: something about it. She's absolutely right. And I would hope
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: that if the mayor were to ever take her up
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: on that offer, he should. He generally does not do
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: these kind of things. He should have with him Jessica Tisch,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the police commissioner, who always... When she gets confronted by
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: these major violent crimes in the subway, it's a perception.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Look at the analytics. It's a perception. It's not a perception.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: I'll give you an example.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Last month, an ex-con on parole shoves a 70-year-old woman
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: on the tracks, 57th and 7th. That's within walking distance
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: of where we're broadcasting from. Luckily, good Samaritans went in
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: and pulled her out, or she would have been run over.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: And then, irony of ironies... A man who survived a
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: brutal subway attack in New York City nearly a year
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: ago while with his wife. They were on the platform
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: of 59th Street in Lexington, a heavily trafficked platform. The
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: sixth train is there. He was attacked and had his
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: jaw broken. And he decided, okay, I'm not going to
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: let that prevent me from ever using the subway again, right?
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: So he uses the subway, as most people do.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: And this particular time, just within hours ago, he's thrown
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: into the tracks over at Hillside Avenue and Parsons Boulevard,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: the F train, 1230 p.m.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Friday night.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: He's a musician. He was coming from a recording session.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: He has a fractured skull. He's on a ventilator. His name,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: 67 years old, David Williams. And still, the MTA and
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the transit police will not acknowledge that he got pushed
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: into the tracks.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Now, I'm saying to myself, well, how do you think
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: he got into the tracks?
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Guys, you have these stations wired up like a Christmas
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: tree from the time you leave, you enter, you're at
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the turnstiles down on the platform.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: You've got video.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: This guy twice within a year. And yet, the police
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: commissioner and the mayor will act like, oh, no, no, no,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: the analytics are that crime is down.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: And the reason for this, Larry.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: is that they let these emotionally disturbed persons live in
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: the subways, roaming in and out. They don't take them
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: and then commit them for psychiatric care, which would.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Be the humane thing to do.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: And I can tell all of our listeners out there,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: as you know, the amount of time I spend every
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: day in the subways. I mean, I go mashug. But
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: imagine if you had to spend one whole day in
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: the subway. That was your assignment, Larry. Where would you
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: find a bathroom? Where would you find food to eat? Now,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: whatever psychosis you have becomes embellished that much more and
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: you start hearing voices. And all of a sudden, maybe
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: you're seen and normal most of the time.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: But now you react and you do things that we
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: would say, how could you possibly do that? Yeah, I
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: get it. I get it.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: And it's almost all there's statistics on this, you know.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: This year, how many people do you think have been
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: shoved on the subway tracks in New.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: York this year? What would you guess? I would guess
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: probably nine. Twelve. Wow, wow. Twelve this year. Plus three.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: In last year, there were over 20. In 2024, there
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: were 26. So these aren't just isolated incidents. This is
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: an epidemic of this happening. There was historical data on this.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: This has been studied. And this is a study that
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: went from 1975 to 1991, talking to 49 distinct incidents
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: involving 52 victims. And in every single one of these cases.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: It was a mentally ill person that did it.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, sure, of course.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: But I mean, 100%? So when you have statistics showing
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: you you have a problem in this and it's 100%,
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: there's not one aberration to the statistic, then don't you
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: do something about it?
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: And every one of these mayors, first Ablazio, smoking is
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Maui Waui, Hindu Kush, then Adams, party into the break
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: of dawn, now Mondami never goes in the subways. So
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: we're going to have mental health professionals patrol with the police.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Never happened.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Jessica Tisch, remember, didn't fight for the extra 500 cops.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Julie Menon didn't fight for the extra 500 cops. We
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: can deal with it.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: No, you can't. No, you can't.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: We need every additional police officer we can to get
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: them in the subways. And you know what's going to happen, Larry,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: like the last time when Zeldin was running against Hochul
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: and gaining traction, there was a tremendous increase in crime
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: in the subway. She flooded the subway by giving Eric
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Adams money to send additional police officers in the subway
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: for overtime before the midterm elections. Watch how she does
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: that again. Yeah.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: And the reason they don't want to deal with this
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: is because of the mentally ill are involved and are
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: hands off when it comes to somebody that's mentally ill
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: is pervasive across the country. It's not just here. Well, actually,
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: I should say in almost every Democratic state, this would
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: not happen in Texas. This would not happen in Florida.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: So things have to change. But you know what the
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: problem is? Sometimes it's you vote accordingly if you want
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: if you want safety in the subways vote that way.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Well for right now this woman this victim lydia zunica
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: has said where are you mayor mondami come talk to
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: me in saint barnabas And I would suggest that Jessica
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Tisch go along and listen to her and understand how
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: prevalent this problem is.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: I don't think they care. I mean, there's been studies
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: on it, as I said. It's extremely prevalent. Hey, by
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: the way, if you haven't seen this article on Curtis,
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: he's the star of it. It's about the show, and
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: he said some kind things, which I really appreciate. Go
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: online and look up Barrett Media, B-A-R-R-E-T-T Media. and look
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: at the great article on Curtis and the show. And
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: we're going to talk about it more coming up next,
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: so you have some homework for the next five minutes.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Perfectly imperfect. Curtis Lewa and Larry Minty.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: In the morning.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Guaranteed human. On 710WOR.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, he's the man, Warner Wolf, with the start of
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: the football season upon us.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Exhibition, Giants versus Jets.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Giants won as they approached their new season along with
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: the Jets. Warner, what can you tell us about this
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: whole exhibition season for both squads?
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: I'm still laughing. There were 48 exhibition games this year.
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: The so-called favorite failed to beat the spread 38 of
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: the 48 games this Proving once again nobody knows nothing
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: when you don't even know who's playing. And you idiots
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: who bet on the games. Unbelievable. Now, you know, the
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: last time that a Jets-Giants exhibition game meant anything was
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: the first time they ever played. August of 1969 in
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: the Yale Bowl. Joe Namath threw three touchdown passes, and
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: the AFL Super Bowl champion Jets clobbered the established NFL
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: Giants 37-14. Results? Giants owner Wellington Mara fired Giant coach
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: Ali Sherman even before the regular season began. And the
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: irony is that Sherman, he had a 10-year contract, by
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: the way. He wanted to take Joe Namath, for the
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: Giants in the first pick in the 1965 draft, and
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: Wellington Mara overruled him.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, no.
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right. We have to take Tucker Fredrickson. Can
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: you imagine how the difference of the franchises might have been?
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Well, it shows you a Brooklyn College education.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: He was the quarterback when Brooklyn College had a football team,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Ali Sherman.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: He went on to become the chairman of OTB.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: That's right. He was the left-handed quarterback from Brooklyn College.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: So it comes out that... But I still can't get over...
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: Imagine a giant. Namath had been blamed for the giant.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: And the poor Jets. Oh, my God. So it comes out.
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: This is serious. One in every four NFL players has
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: or will have the brain damage CTE. Chronic Traumatic Anxiety. Encephalopathy.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: From too many hits to the head. And you know
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: what I'm thinking? The rate would be much higher if
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: you counted the hundreds of players who played in the
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: previous seven decades when there was no testing. And the
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: coach would just say, oh, you just had your bell rung.
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: Get back in the game. And as long as we're
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: talking about head injuries, how about all the men and
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: women's soccer players?
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: And their headers. No protection. Are we going to read
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: about them years from now?
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've done a lot of stories on this. And
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: you know what else is high? Competitive cheerleading when it
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: comes to concussions because they.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Fall on your heads.
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: Oh, my gosh.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they get tossed in the air wanting their competition.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we know that.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: And then when they come down, they don't always get caught.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: And unfortunately, they pile drive right into the turf.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, gosh.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm glad you brought that up, Larry. Put a
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: halt to the show.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: What the hell? After what you guys said, what are
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: you going to have your kids do? They can't be cheerleaders.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: They can't play soccer. They can't play smash football.
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: You know, with soccer and youth soccer, they do not
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: let them head now until a certain age. They eliminated that.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: It's a penalty.
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: Oh, no headers. All right. Yep. Hey, move over, NFL players.
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: The owners are making the players look good. Remember years
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: ago it was Patriots owner Robert Kraft arrested for prostitution
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: in a massage parlor? So last week it was 49ers
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: owner Jed York arrested for lining up a prostitute in
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: a sting operation. Come on, give these owners something to
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: do between the games. I love this. They're showing up
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: the players. Hey, what's wrong with this picture? 23-year-old tight
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: end Daquan Wright, who played two years at Virginia Tech
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: and then two more years at Mississippi, and was an
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: undrafted free agent released by the Eagles and Browns, is
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: going back to college for a fifth year to play
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: at LSU.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: Because Wright will be paid more money with the use
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: of his name, image, and likeness at LSU than he
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: would be on a practice team in the NFL. Something's
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: wrong with that picture.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Wow. So basically what you're saying, Warner, is that you
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: can make more in college now than you might even
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: make if you make an NFL team.
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: That's right. Certainly in your first year, yeah. Because I
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: think it's $ 885, 000 minimum. And who knows what they'll give you. Hey,
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: the stooge of the week, and also the boo of
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: the week, has to go to the CBC, the Canadian
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: Broadcasting Company, last week ordered their entire television staff not
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: to refer to the 9-11 World Trade Center disaster of
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: almost 3,000 people dying as a terrorist attack.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: No! No!
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: Hey, look up the word terrorist, you dummies. It says
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: an act of non-combatants to achieve religious or ideological goals. Man,
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: go tell the families and friends or the victims it
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: was not a terrorist attack. I would rename, and I'd
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: be ashamed to work for the CBC, but I'd rename
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: that Canadian broadcasting company The Canadian Brainless Company. I mean,
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: that's disgraceful.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: It is disgraceful, but we have to give some credit
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: to the staff there and to the anchors and to
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: the reporters who refused to do it.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, good.
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: I wasn't aware of that.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: That edict never made air because so many people said, no, no, no,
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: we can't do that.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so... Yes, they were brainless.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: The executive that wrote that was brainless, but the staff,
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: they deserve some applause.
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: That's terrific. Real quick, talk about perseverance. Journeyman quarterback Josh Dobbs,
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: who was drafted way back in 2017, has played with
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: nine different NFL teams, has been so impressive in preseason.
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: He is now the backup quarterback for For the Detroit
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: Lions to Jared Goff. The record, by the way, is
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: 14 different teams. Josh Johnson, including the Giants and Jets.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: But that's a good story. You know, Goff could get hurt,
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: and all of a sudden, Josh Dobbs. Man, that's a
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: long time since he's waited.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: That's longevity.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: You see, if you can be a backup quarterback, if
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: you can be willing to sit on the bench and
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: collect splinters, You could go from team to team.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's longevity in the NFL. What?
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: You're running back. You're lucky if you play four years
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: and you're gone.
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: That's the average four and a half years. You not
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: only collect splinters, he's collecting a million and a half dollars.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: To not play. Well, I do appreciate it, Warner.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Same time.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: What's up?
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: That's right. I'm thanking you for your attention. Same time,
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: same place next week.
