• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, Glory Halioski, hallelujah, I need to give a shout
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: out to Dr. Gil Lederman. Larry, Natalie, I had no
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: voice on Saturday and Sunday, so there was peace in
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the Sliwa household. Nancy loved it that way, and the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: cats loved it. But I had to get that voice
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: back to be here, same time, same place as we
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: are every Monday through Friday. You wake up with Curtis
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and Larry, till it's time to hand off the microphone
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: to Mark Simone and I. So I had to get
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: my special medication. Dr. Lederman came through. So props, great synergy.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Try doing that on a Sunday. And we're going to
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: try to get him on. Is he coming up? Natalie? Yeah,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: we're going to try to get him coming up because
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the Pope, they've determined he has a nodule on his lung,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the American Pope. And he's going to be going under
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the knife. And nobody knows more about those kind of
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: situations than Dr. Gil Lederman.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going to have him on at 6.50, so
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: not far away.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: So he came to my aid, and he'll give us
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: all the information we need to know. But today is
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the big Columbus Day Parade up Fifth Avenue. Now, there
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: are the many, many parades in the tri-state area that
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: took place over this weekend. Almost everywhere where there's an
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Italian-American community, they had a Christopher Columbus Parade. But the
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: mayor decided he wasn't going to attend any of the parades.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: The one that took place in the neighborhood he lived
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: in for a while, Astoria. Small parade. But there's a
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: statue there right before you hit the... Triborough Bridge off
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the Grand Central Parkway that back in 2020, he took
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: a photo in front of when he was living there
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: with his finger.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: He was giving the finger to Christopher Columbus. I saw it,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: and he wanted to get rid of that day. So
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: he's not a real fan of Christopher Columbus, and apparently
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: he's not a fan of the Italian-American community in New York.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: No, they didn't vote for him. You know how he
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: wagers things. You voted for me or there's some support
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: for me, I go to your parade. You didn't vote
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: for me, I'm not going to your parade. But this one,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: in particular is he was in favor of pulling that
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: statue down. Remember the summer of George Floyd, they were
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: pulling Christopher Columbus statues down everywhere. They beheaded the one
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: in Camden. They took down the one in Trent. They
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: put it in a box. Remember in South Philadelphia, you know,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: they headed it like a box where you couldn't even
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: get into it.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: It's back.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Good.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And there were other statues that were being taken
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: down and put into storage, but New York city, In
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: addition to the big one in Columbus Circle, has one
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: in Brooklyn outside the State Supreme Court building, the one
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: in Astoria. Imagine, Staten Italy, right? The most Italian of worlds.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: They don't even have a statue that Christopher Columbus never had.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Didn't he get rid of Little Italy, too? I mean,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: he really has something against Italian-Americans. Yeah, he said, oh,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: we forgot to put it on our ethnic map.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Little Italy. Look, he just... He don't get along with Italians,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and Italians don't get along with him.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Didn't he promise he was going to be the mayor
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: for all people at his big speech? He was going
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: to be the mayor for everybody. It didn't matter if
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: you voted for me or not. It doesn't seem like
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: he's been ruling that way.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: No, but if you remember that first debate, the NBC
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: debate with Cuomo, me, and Mondami towards the end, Mia
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Mondami got into it because I said all parades matter.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: In fact, that's the lead column in today's New York
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Times describing how he's not going to any of the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: parades nor festivities is that all parades matter. When you're
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the mayor, you go even if you're going to get booed.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Perfect example. Bill de Blasio, who could not hide in
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: a parade, he was Big Bird. Guy was too tall.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: When he first went to the Italian-American parades in his
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: first four years, they loved him. He spoke Italian. His mother,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: he visited Italy. Second four years, he got booed unmercifully
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: in rightfully so. So all he would do is speedwalk.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: He'd speedwalk right through the parade and wave as if,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: you know, they were cheering instead of booing. This is
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: what you do as a mayor.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: That's a lot of mayors across the country. A lot
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: of mayors do exactly that, but they don't not go there.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: What a little wuss.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he doesn't want to go. Instead, he did
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: a video praising Fiorello LaGuardia, Vito Marcantonio. He was a socialist,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: a congressman from East Harlem for many years. But that
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: doesn't fit the bill. You should go to every parade.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: You should go to every festival you can, because that's
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: what New York City is all about. Whether the people
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: like you or they don't like you, you're the mayor. Yeah, absolutely.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Frank Rizzo, by the way, in Philadelphia, was loved at
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: the Columbus Day Parade, as you can imagine. But he
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: was loved at all the parades because the same people
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: that went to Columbus Day Parade showed up at the
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: other parades to make sure that everybody was cheering him.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: They were in the crowd actually putting the arm on
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: people that would dare to boo the mayor.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: The only time the mayor did not march in the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: parade is he wanted some members of the Sopranos with him, especially,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: what was that, Melfi? You know, the female shrink.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Dr.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Melfi. He was hot to trot on her. You know,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: this guy. He was always perving on women, Bloomberg, even
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: though he had a girlfriend, right? I mean, he insisted
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: that he march with members of the Sopranos. The Italian-American
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: coalition that sponsors Bray said, no, no, no, because they
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: represent the organized crime. So I think he decided to
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: take a powder, but he was prepared to march. He
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: didn't march with them because he thought they were an
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: organized crime? That was the whole reason? No, no. The
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: committee didn't want members of the Sopranos. He wanted to
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: be holding Melfi. He was so hot to trot, as
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of our listeners were when they would watch
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the Sopranos. The female shrink to Tony. That's the only
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: time I think that happened. Did every other mayor march?
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I believe so, unless there was something that they were
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: out of town or out of the country. I will
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: give credit to a person I never give credit to.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Hold on to your hat. Andrew Ivelisse Cuomo. He not
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: only preserved the parades, he preserved the statues. Remember the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: summer of 2020, George Floyd. If they weren't attacking and
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: desecrating the statues, they were taking the statues down and
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: putting them into storage. He protected all the statues with
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: state troopers. He said, look, this is to preserve Italian-American traditions.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: And when his fellow Supreme Cuisine, de Blasio, wouldn't allow
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: a statue to be put up to Mother Cabrini because
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: she was pro-life, he took it over for the state,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: put up the Mother Cabrini statue. It's right down there,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the Holocaust Museum, which is in the lower end of
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Manhattan before you catch the Staten Island Ferry. So I
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: give props to Cuomo. because he said that statue represents
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the work of the Italian-American peoples. And he did not vacillate.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: He did not hesitate. He did not blink. He did
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: not buck. He did not bow. He defended the tradition
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: of the parade and, most importantly, the many statues.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the whole thing about going back in history and
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: rating people or deciding on the character of people by
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: today's standards is ridiculous. is absolutely ridiculous. There's nobody that's pure.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: When you go back just a couple of hundred years,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: there's nobody that's pure. None of our founding fathers are pure.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Not one of them is pure. And certainly the people
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: that came from Europe back in the 1600s, not one
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: of them is pure either. So you just can't do it.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: If you want to, if you want to really besmirch somebody,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: then go ahead and hold them to our standards because
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: our standards are completely new and some of them are
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: kind of outlandish. But That's what's happening, and it's silly.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: You just can't do it. You cannot do it.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Larry, I will not besmirch Columbus. I will tell you
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: some of the things that I've said that has gotten
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: me into tremendous controversy with not only our listeners but
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: people in general. I said there were four ships, the Nina,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the Pinta, the Santa, and the Maria. The Maria was
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: sort of like when you have a train, you know,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: you have a caboose at the end, and people have said,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: you don't know what you're talking about. The other thing
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: that I've discussed is how there is this theory that
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: this young man, Columbus, when he was born in Genoa,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: before he went sailing up to England and Ireland, because
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of young men started to sail at an
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: early age, was actually born Jewish. Oh my, oh, that
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: starts such a controversy. But the biggest controversy is people
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: don't know how the day came about. You know, if
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: you just say to them, How did the Columbus Day
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: event come about? What in history precipitated that? It was
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: a very dark day for Italians. In fact, those who
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: are knowledgeable talk about the largest mass lynching in the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: history of America. Now, obviously, more African-Americans were lynched than
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: all others combined. But on this one day, 11 Italians
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: were taken out of jail after most had been acquitted.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: They were accused of crime. killing the police chief in
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: New Orleans. And the crowd, which was made of some
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: very esteemed people, dragged them out, shot them, and then
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: hung them right in the square where the cathedral is
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: now before you hit the levee. It was a horrid day.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: And yet a lot of people justified it. To give
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: you an idea, at that time, Teddy Roosevelt was representing
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the United States with foreign consulates. He was having dinner
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: with the Italian consulate. They said, hey, what is America
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: going to do about this? And Teddy Roosevelt said, the
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: only problem I have with this gentleman, I'm going to
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: be very direct with you, is they didn't hang more.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: And then Italy wanted to go to war. People don't
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: realize that. They pulled their ambassadors. They closed their consulates
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: over that. They were threatening war. And it was President
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Benjamin Harrison who decided to cast a day for Christopher
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Columbus to try to assuage everybody and say it is
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to honor the work of the Italian-American people. But these
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: were the headlines when the 11 Italians, most were Sicilian,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: were hung. The Dagos did it. Teach these people a
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: lesson they will not forget. We need to get rid
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: of all these Italians. They're vicious. They're idle, worthless, filthy.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: They spread disease. I'll give you an idea that Italians
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: were not welcome in a lot of parts of the
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: United States. I say they were the equivalent Southern Italians
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: and Sicilians of the way Mexicans are now. They'll do
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: any work. A lot of them had, they couldn't read,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: they couldn't write like my grandfather, Fidelio Bianchino. But you
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: give them a shovel, ditch digger. Like I said, today
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: is the anniversary of when the Holland Tunnel was first
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: being dug. It took them about 10 years. A lot
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: of people died. Most of the workers were Italian-Americans like
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: in a lot of those construction sites. And even Joe DiMaggio,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: to give you an idea, Joe DiMaggio, 1942, you couldn't
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: get more popular than Joe DiMaggio. His dad, who had
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: been here 40 years, was considered an enemy alien. They
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: took his fishing boat away from him in San Francisco,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: and he had to report because, remember, we were at
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: war with Benito Mussolini in addition to Adolf Hitler and
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the Nazi regime.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: All right, I'm not sure what I'm going to ask
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: you to respond to, but if you want to comment
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: on any of this, go to the iHeartRadio app and
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: leave us a talkback. You could win a Curtis Lewa
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: and Larry Menti in the morning t-shirt. That's going to
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: be awarded every day to our favorite talkback of the morning.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: And while you're on the free iHeartRadio app, be sure
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: to set a preset for 710WOR.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Well, how about this? What holiday should we have? What
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: are we missing?
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: And don't forget, the best talk back of the week
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: takes home a C-Crane radio. Well, one of the most
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: volatile and popular figures of NFL football in the past
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: several decades has passed away. We'll talk about Mike Ditka
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: from the Chicago Bears, the Bears.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: When we come back. Plus, a chance to see Journey
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: at 825. Well, the NFL has lost.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: A true legend, an incredible player, incredible tight end, Super
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Bowl winning coach, and a great commentator, Mike Ditka, who
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: was coach of the Chicago Bears, took them to the
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: World Series, won the World Series. in nineteen eighty five
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: but more than anything else he was known for his
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: personality and the way he dealt with the press was
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: incredible the he was so dismissive of them and they
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: loved them.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: There's three quarterbacks in this football team whichever one starts
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: starts whichever ones.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Don't will back him up cut and dry it's nobody's
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: concern but ours nobody's.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: Injuries from the game.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Talk to the trainer. Next.
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: Mike, why are you in such a bad mood?
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: What do you care? Okay. If you were 2-7, you'd
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: be in a bad mood too. He was legendary. He
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: was so good at that. And the funny thing is,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the people that he was making fun of just ate
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: it up. People forget what a great player he was too.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: He was the first tight end. He was picked fourth
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: in the NFL draft.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: And in 1961. And he was the first rookie of
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: the year. And he also became the first tight end
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: to surpass 1,000 receiving yards. Remaining the only person ever
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: to play in Chicago that did that. So he was just,
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: he was a great player. He was a great commentator.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: He was a great guy. And he always brought something. Oh,
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: and they loved him in Chicago. Part Polish, part Ukrainian.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: came out of the greater Pittsburgh area, Aliquippa, Aliquippa High School.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: You know who his coach was? Pete Maravich's father.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow. And then he had a choice, go to
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame. No, I'm going to University of Pitt. He
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: was loyal to Pittsburgh, and Pittsburgh loved him. They just
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: wished that they would have had him playing with the
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Steelers instead of where he was playing with the Chicago
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Bears and then coaching. And then he had the problem
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: of Ryan, his defensive coach. You remember? Oh, they fought
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: all the time. All the time. Buddy Ryan, they fought constantly.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: They're the same person. That's why.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: You never should be around somebody that's exactly like you are.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Buddy Ryan went on to coach the Eagles. He had
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: fights with a couple of his assistant coaches that were legendary.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of people really got to know
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: him from Saturday Night Live. Because you remember Da Bears,
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: they all dressed like him. They all wore the same mustache.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: So Da Bears, you know, of all the characters that
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: have played now in the NFL or have coached in
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: the NFL, I don't know anybody that is such a character,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: had such a personality, and was able to handle the media,
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: as you heard him a second ago, better than Mike Ditka.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: I was at BBM when they did the Mike Ditka show.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: They used to bring him in every weekend. I was
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: scared to talk to him. I never even said hi.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Wow. You don't want to get shut down? Yeah, because
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: it's like this. Hey, coach, who are you? Why are
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: you talking to me?
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: But, yeah, he used to come in every week. By
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: the way, when I was there, too, Michael Jordan came
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: in every week. Completely different thing.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: He's Mr.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Personnel.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Totally different.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: So nice to everybody. Just talk to everybody. So, yeah,
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: it was a great time in Chicago. But Ditka, man,
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: they love him. He had a bar for a long
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: time that was extremely popular called Ditka's. And so, yeah,
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: the NFL is going to miss him. I don't think
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: there's any– is there anybody like him now? The new
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: coaches are not like– Oh, my God. The coaches had
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: a horrible weekend. Your Philly coach.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: Oh, God.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: The coach for the Washington Commanders. They should have beaten
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: the Giants. We'll talk about that with Warner at 738.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: And then a number of other coaches who just made
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: decisions that cost their teams games.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Well, they were the two big ones. You mentioned the
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: two most ridiculous ones. Coach Sirianni got up. It was
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: the first time I've ever heard a coach do this, really.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: And he looked like he was going to cry. And
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: he said, well, that was my fault. I just apologized
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: to the team. And I want to apologize to Philadelphia.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: You know what that means to me?
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: He's gone. Yep.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: That's going to be the end of him. Now let's
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: get to Daria Albinger with the 630 News.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Daria. Good morning, guys.
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: You know, Mike Ditka's wife was my high school secretary
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: because he was an assistant in Dallas at the time.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: You had a secretary in high school? Not my personal secretary.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: She knew your homework? I could have used one, though.
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: Definitely in the math and science.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: She was our high school secretary. Just a little trivia
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: for you.
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: Do you remember the Chunky Soup commercial where Ditka and
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: his wife were arguing over the soup?
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: The woman in the bathroom? That wasn't her. That wasn't
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: his wife.
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: His wife, Sherry Ditka, was the most beautiful, nicest, sweetest
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: woman you'll ever meet.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: A little trivia for you there.
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: All right, showers ending, becoming mostly sunny later today in
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: a high of 71 degrees. It is Columbus Day, and
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: it's Indigenous Peoples Day. The big parade steps off along
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: Fifth Avenue this morning. Mayor Mom Donnie will not attend.
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: Governor Hochul will take part, and we understand Curtis will
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: take part as well. Indigenous Peoples Day celebrations, meanwhile, continuing
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: on Randall's Island. The kids are off from school. The
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: banks are closed. There's no mail delivery today. Most financial
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: markets are open, but the bond markets are closed. President
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: Trump says a deal that he's made with Russian President
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: Putin will ease a global fuel shortage.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: The U.S.
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: Will buy diesel from Russia to help lower rising fuel
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: costs as the war with Iran continues. But some say
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: this is a bad move.
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: This announcement from President Trump really blindsided both Ukraine and
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: European allies. This immediately became highly controversial among congressional figures
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: because President Trump has said throughout this war as well
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: is that he's accused, rightly, European allies of continuing to
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: buy Russian oil and funding the Russian war machine. And now,
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: of course, the U.S. is potentially poised to do exactly
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: the same thing.
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: That's ABC's Patrick Riewel. A search continues for suspects connected
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: to a home invasion in Queens.
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: Police were called to a home in Flushing around 2.32 a.m.
• 18:33
  Speaker 8: on Sunday morning. A 45-year-old man reported that several people
• 18:37
  Speaker 8: forced their way into his home, held him at gunpoint
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: and struck him with a crowbar. The suspects also made
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: off with a Rolex and chain worth about $ 65, 000 before
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: fleeing the scene on foot. No arrests have been made
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: as authorities say they are looking for three male suspects
• 18:53
  Speaker 8: who were dressed in all black. I'm Lizzie Radabali, WOR News.
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: The CDC says there have been more than 4,000 cases
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: of measles so far this year across 47 states and
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: the District of Columbia. The Jets and the Rangers win,
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: and the Giants game with Washington ends in a tie.
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: Next news, 7 o'clock bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: on 710 WOR.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Up next, we're going to discuss President Donald Trump announced
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: a detente. Putin would not attack energy sites in the Ukraine.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Ukraine would not attack, especially those areas that were making
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: the raw oil into diesel. Guess what? Zelensky said, I
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: had no idea, but hey, if he can get the
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Russians to stop attacking our energy grid, I'm into it.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: We'll deal with that up next.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Well, it sounds like we might have at least a
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. At least that's what Donald
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Trump says. Donald Trump says that they're going to have
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: this ceasefire. He had talked a little bit about it
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: yesterday during one of his rallies. And then all of
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: a sudden, surprise, surprise, surprise, he makes an announcement. The
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: problem is it was an announcement to– it was a
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: surprise to everyone, including Volodymyr Zelensky.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Now, he likes the idea. He said that would be fine.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: But he's not really sure it's in existence because he
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: didn't get a phone call directly from the president. The
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: president apparently went to the press first. So this is
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: in this long back and forth yesterday about– about oil,
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: about getting buying oil from Russia, and then saying Zelensky's
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: got to stop attacking the refineries in Russia so we
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: can get this oil, which, by the way, is all
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: about the midterms to bring prices down before the midterms.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: So let me give you a little bit about what
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: he said yesterday.
• 20:56
  Speaker 9: He'd like to see a settlement. President Putin would like
• 21:00
  Speaker 9: to see a settlement strongly. And look, he's freeing up
• 21:04
  Speaker 9: a lot of oil for the world, okay?
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: That's a good thing. And by the way, at a
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: very low price.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, again, he'd like to see a settlement. That's what
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: he said during the speech. Shortly after the speech, he said,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: there is a settlement, there is an agreement, there is
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: a ceasefire.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: And then Zelensky said, We are open for this. Don't
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: attack us. Don't kill our children. We will stop attack
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: your diesel. And I think it's fair, fair deal.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: So if Donald Trump is correct, if Putin has said
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: he would like a ceasefire, if Donald Trump says there's
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: a ceasefire, and if Zelensky says, that's fine, I'll do it,
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: then I guess there's going to be a ceasefire. But, Curtis,
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: the big problem here is no details at all have
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: been ironed out. Like, they both have their wish lists
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: of what they don't want to be attacked. But right now,
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: there is no reality to that.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and Zelensky said, I had no idea that this
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: was taking place. So clearly, as you said, it was
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: for the midterm. But even that diesel fuel, if it
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: were to get to market, wouldn't affect anyone's price until November, December.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: So it sounds good. But then again, we've been telling
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: our allies, don't you dare buy a drop of Russian
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: petroleum products. In fact, we went after countries who were
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: trying to buy it in the black market. So it's
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: another contradiction. It's four years of war. The Russians, they
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: attack the grid going into winter. Obviously, that impacts the
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Ukrainians a lot because it takes away from their ability
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: to stay warm, the electricity. And the very successful program
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: that Zelensky has had with the drones attacking, as you
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: had mentioned, the refineries that produce the diesels. Russians themselves
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: don't have enough diesel now because of the success of
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: those attacks. So let's see how it plays out. But
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: this just seems like, at this rate, it's going to
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: be an endless war until both sides just get tired
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: and they decide to sit down and negotiate a peace.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: If it is true, though, let's play this out over
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: the next couple of days and go positive with it.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: If it is true that whatever Donald Trump did when
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: he talked to Putin.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: And then Zelensky responded and said, I'm open to that
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: if this were to happen. And now there's a 60-day
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: ceasefire in the war between Russia and Ukraine, which nobody's
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: been able to ever accomplish. If that were to happen,
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: and then the prices come down, the gas prices come down,
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: and we get diesel fuel coming.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: In from Russia... that's a win-win-win for America. I'll tell
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: you what, I'll nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: because in Syracuse he was saying he should have gotten
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: eight of them. That's right. He's done a pretty good job.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: He's done a great job forgetting, you know, just forget
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: for a second making fun of him because of what
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: he said. He's actually been able to negotiate peace around
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: the world pretty darn well. It is funny that he
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: turned around completely later in the day because for a
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: while there, Because Zelensky wasn't budging on anything.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: He wanted him out.
• 24:19
  Speaker 9: I suggest they get a new leader who can make
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: a deal.
• 24:23
  Speaker 10: Because he could have.
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: Made many deals that for some reason he never does.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, Ukraine has not had a national election
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: since the war started four years ago. And they are clamoring.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: And Zelensky is saying, well, it's wartime. We can't have
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: an election. We had an election with Abraham Lincoln during
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: the Civil War. That's ridiculous. Now, Putin had an election. Obviously,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: it was in the back. Yeah, I know. But there
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: should be an election in the Ukraine. There are other
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: people who think this could be handled differently. They have
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: had elections in the past, but Zelensky is hiding behind
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: the fact that you can't do it during war. But
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: the big thing with Zelensky is he's not a saint
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: in this whole thing.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: He was dictatorial. He fired people. He didn't like, he
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: got rid of people. He didn't like, he took over
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: state media. I mean, it sounds like a communist country
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: and then he suspended all elections. But now he's saying, listen,
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump has no say on this. If we're going
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: to have elections, it's going to be up to the
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: people of Ukraine, which by the way, it has never
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: been up to. It's only been up to him.
• 25:25
  Speaker 11: With all respect to president Trump, uh, It's up to
• 25:31
  Speaker 11: our society, up to our people to choose one or
• 25:35
  Speaker 11: another leader.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I wish they would choose one who's not corrupt.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Whenever you look at the Ukraine, you look at corruption,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Not
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: to suggest that the Russians aren't corrupt, but I think
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: every time we send a dollar over there or the
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: European Union sends money over there, everybody's getting their cut
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: of the action before it actually goes for the defense
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: of the country.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but how disingenuous was that? It's up to the people. No,
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: the people had no say in any of this. No
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: say in any of it. Why don't you go ahead
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: and announce there's going to be elections? Then give the
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: people their say. That was the worst thing in the world.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: I know you really wanted to get to the rally
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: in Syracuse, so I think we have a couple of
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: minutes left so we can play the one thing you
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: were talking about when you came in today.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's amazing. When you stand up here, it's
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: just like the love.
• 26:33
  Speaker 9: I could say the stupidest things and you'd clap, you know,
• 26:35
  Speaker 9: I love you so much.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: But we don't say the stupidest things. We say things
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: of common sense. Yeah, that was cute. That was funny.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: But naturally, his critics immediately took the first part of
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: that statement. All is fair in politics and war, correct?
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: That's absolutely true.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: Pope Leo will undergo surgery to remove a nodule from
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: his lung. We're going to talk with the great Dr.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Gil Lederman about what that means coming up next. Now,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: let me talk to you about LifeVac. If you don't
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: have one of these in your home, really, you should.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: For yourself, for your kids, for your grandkids. Because, listen,
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: I've reported the news for a long, long time. I
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: know how quickly... just a common scenario can turn into emergency.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Choking is one of those emergencies and it can happen
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: to anyone. Anytime somebody is, sometimes it doesn't even happen
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: when you're eating. We just had someone that was saved
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: by life back that vomited and then the vomit got
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: stuck in their throat and they had to be saved
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: by life back. So it's one of those things that
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: can happen almost at any time. And LifeVac is the
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: first and only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device to be used
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: for second-line treatment when recommended choking protocols have been followed
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: without success. Here's what's really remarkable about LifeVac. LifeVac has
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: helped save over 6,000 lives worldwide, well over 6,000, over
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: 6,500 at this point. So you really need one of
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: these in your home because you need something nearby when
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: the worst happens.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: So go to LifeFact.net. That's LifeFact.net. Go to LifeFact.net and
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: see how you can be ready when it counts. Ah,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: the news. The Pope is going to go under the
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: knife for surgery. He's got a nodule, I guess, on
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: his lung. But to discuss that, it's Dr. Gil Lederman,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: host of Radio Surgery New York on WOR at midnight
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: and on the weekends and who wrote me a prescription
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: on Sunday that got my voice back or I wouldn't
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: be here today. This morning. Thank you. Thank you, Doc.
• 28:46
  Speaker 10: Thank you so much.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: So what do you know about the Pope's condition that
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: has caused him to go under the knife?
• 28:54
  Speaker 10: OK, so I know what you know, what you denounce,
• 28:56
  Speaker 10: but I'm trying to get behind the headlines and say,
• 28:59
  Speaker 10: why the heck are they saying this and why the
• 29:02
  Speaker 10: heck would they put a man, the Pope or anybody
• 29:05
  Speaker 10: through surgery for a nodule in the lung? There are
• 29:08
  Speaker 10: certainly options in many, many people. Hundreds of thousands of
• 29:12
  Speaker 10: people have lung cancers and lung nodules. And in this
• 29:16
  Speaker 10: day and age, people that come to me generally don't
• 29:18
  Speaker 10: want to go through surgery. They don't want to have
• 29:20
  Speaker 10: their lung opened up. They don't want to have part
• 29:22
  Speaker 10: of their lung removed. And that's what they're talking about
• 29:25
  Speaker 10: for Pope Leo. So there are options for someone who's
• 29:29
  Speaker 10: got lung cancer or lung nodule. They didn't talk about that,
• 29:33
  Speaker 10: and obviously it's beyond the scope of their announcement, but
• 29:36
  Speaker 10: usually when a person comes here with a lung nodule
• 29:39
  Speaker 10: planning to have surgery, the first thing a surgeon wants
• 29:41
  Speaker 10: to do most commonly, not always, but most commonly is
• 29:44
  Speaker 10: to go in and cut out part of the lung
• 29:47
  Speaker 10: and put it in a box and check it pathologically.
• 29:51
  Speaker 10: But there's ways to see if it's cancer, first of
• 29:54
  Speaker 10: all with a little needle. So most people I see
• 29:56
  Speaker 10: would rather have a little needle put in their lung
• 29:59
  Speaker 10: and know whether it's cancer or not before they have surgery.
• 30:03
  Speaker 10: We don't know if he had that. So he may
• 30:05
  Speaker 10: have already had a biopsy. Who knows? There's two ways
• 30:08
  Speaker 10: to get a biopsy. One is with a needle through
• 30:10
  Speaker 10: the skin. Another way is bronchoscopy through the airway. There's
• 30:14
  Speaker 10: another way for people who don't want to even do biopsies.
• 30:17
  Speaker 10: And there's many, many people who don't want to do biopsies.
• 30:19
  Speaker 10: Because if you do a biopsy, like for the Pope
• 30:22
  Speaker 10: to do surgery, he's going to end up in the
• 30:23
  Speaker 10: ICU for a week. His lung will be totally collapsed.
• 30:27
  Speaker 10: He'll have a chest tube. It will be painful. And
• 30:30
  Speaker 10: he has to reinflate the lung and get the lung
• 30:32
  Speaker 10: back and then see what this is unless there's been
• 30:35
  Speaker 10: a biopsy, unless he already knows. So there are options
• 30:39
  Speaker 10: for him. And we certainly hope that he would have
• 30:42
  Speaker 10: chosen surgery and not known about other things like radiosurgery
• 30:47
  Speaker 10: where you don't need cutting, you don't need bleeding, you
• 30:50
  Speaker 10: don't need hospitals, you don't need anesthesia. And you'd think
• 30:52
  Speaker 10: that someone like him would want to have an equally
• 30:55
  Speaker 10: effective treatment that's non-invasive, that doesn't remove part of his lung.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's really fascinating. That's great information. While you were talking,
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: I looked it up, too, and they said that over
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: half of all adults who get a chest CT scan
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: or x-ray, they find nodules in but most of them
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: don't need any operations. So from what you just said
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: a moment ago.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: And that fact there, do you believe there must be
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: something else going on for them to go in?
• 31:29
  Speaker 10: Well, look, you never know. I see so many patients,
• 31:32
  Speaker 10: and if a surgeon gets their hands on a patient,
• 31:34
  Speaker 10: and surgeons would probably love to have a high-profile patient
• 31:38
  Speaker 10: like the Pope on their resume, So it can elevate them.
• 31:42
  Speaker 10: On the other hand, it can go bad. He can
• 31:45
  Speaker 10: end up with a complication or shortness of breath or
• 31:48
  Speaker 10: not be able to breathe well for the rest of
• 31:49
  Speaker 10: his life or even worse. So sometimes cowboys are surgeons
• 31:54
  Speaker 10: and surgeons are cowboys and they want to get a
• 31:57
  Speaker 10: high profile case. If the Pope Leo or anybody, a
• 32:01
  Speaker 10: listener came here, we would get tested. We'd get cancer marker,
• 32:04
  Speaker 10: blood test. We'd get a PET scan. A PET scan
• 32:07
  Speaker 10: is a non-invasive way to see if a nodule is
• 32:09
  Speaker 10: suspicious for cancer. So in this day and age, there's many,
• 32:12
  Speaker 10: many non-invasive testing that can be done to evaluate whether
• 32:16
  Speaker 10: it's a cancer or not. And you're right, there's many
• 32:19
  Speaker 10: nodules in the lung, but most of them are not cancers.
• 32:22
  Speaker 10: He may have had a CT scan, let's say, six
• 32:24
  Speaker 10: months ago or a year ago, and it wasn't there.
• 32:27
  Speaker 10: So if it's a new nodule, that's different than if
• 32:29
  Speaker 10: it's a nodule that's been there for a long period
• 32:31
  Speaker 10: of time.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Dr. Lederman, if any of our listeners are interested in
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: coming to see you for a consultation, How can they
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: get in touch with you? Because obviously they can hear
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: your radio surgery program at nights here at WOR 710
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: at midnight and on the weekends. But if they'd like
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: to come in, how do they reach out to you?
• 32:53
  Speaker 10: Well, number one, they can do what you did, which
• 32:55
  Speaker 10: is send me an email. You can send me an
• 32:56
  Speaker 10: email at gil, G-I-L, at rsny.org. You did it yesterday.
• 33:01
  Speaker 10: As you said, I wouldn't have said anything, but you
• 33:03
  Speaker 10: kind of preempted me. So, Patients and listeners can do
• 33:06
  Speaker 10: the same thing Curtis Lewa does, gil at rsny.org. If
• 33:12
  Speaker 10: they don't want to do that, they can call us
• 33:14
  Speaker 10: at 212-CHOICES, 212-CHOICES.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: All right, Dr.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: Lederman, host of the Radio Surgery New York at midnight
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: and on the weekends and the best in the country
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: at it. Thank you so much, Dr. Lederman.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Good to talk to you.
• 33:30
  Speaker 10: Thank you. We wish the Pope a speedy recovery and
• 33:32
  Speaker 10: all your listeners much good health.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: That's wonderful.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: When we come back, well, the Cornell University case seems to.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Change by the hour.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: And every time it looks like, oh, maybe she's not
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: telling the truth or, oh, they did it. Every single
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: day it changes. We'll give you the latest right after
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: the 7 o'clock news. Cornell University gang rape case, alleged
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: gang rape. Seems to change every single day. And right now,
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: it is the battle of the attorneys who keep leaking
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: stuff out to make their client look better, to make
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: the other people look worse.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: And it is.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: Difficult to sift through. I just wish there was a
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: judge in this case. who could now issue an order
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: to stop some of this, because this is all being
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: played out in the media, and by the time they
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: get to trial, I don't know how they're going to
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: find a juror who hasn't heard anything about this case
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: or hasn't formed an opinion. So let's just go through
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: a few of the headlines that happened over the weekend,
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: and then Curtis and I can talk about it. The
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: Cornell University Chi Phi fraternity brother who admitted that he
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: initiated the now famous threesome, Matthew Ingalls, is now out
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: of the country. He is originally from Dubai, so he's there.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: His father teaches at a university there. The New York
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: Post is the one that learned this, that he is
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: now in Dubai. So if you're going to try him,
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: you're going to have to extradite him, and it's going
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: to be difficult to do from Dubai. So he just
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: got out of town. Also, more of the back and
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: forth between Jane Doe and the Frat Brothers have come
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: forward where she talks about loving them. She says that,
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: you know, it got a little wild at the end,
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: but nothing wrong happened. It is bizarre, but I guess
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: this is common in rape cases where people will go
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: back and forth a lot of times. And I'm sure
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: that's going to come up in court. But she has
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: as many texts that will hurt her case as the
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: ones that will help her case. And I think that
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: when it does get to trial, the one that is
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: going to stand out more than anything is what she
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: told the police. Because, Curtis, some of the things she
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: said in these texts is not helping her at all. Cornell,
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: the triple sigma, triple delta, I should say, Sorority is
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: now being sued by another member of because this person
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: says that they had an open bar early that day,
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: and they sent some people to other bars to have drinks,
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: when that's not supposed to happen at all. There's no
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: drinking in that sorority. So you have somebody now suing
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: that sorority. And just to top all of this off,
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: over everything that happened over the last couple of days...
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: Letitia James now hit with a bar complaint for flagrant
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: violations in the Cornell seven case. And there is a
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: call from the organization that she must recuse herself. So
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: I think she's going to fight this, but it's so
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: obvious right now. Any, any, any attorney with any kind
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: of morals would step down because it's obvious that she
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: has put out comments in the past that that shows
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: she's not objective in this case and she shouldn't be
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: handling the prosecution because she can't be objective. So a
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: lot to talk about, Curtis. They're just the headlines of
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: some of the stuff that happened this weekend. She's also
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: running for re-election. There are a lot of qualified men
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: and women in the state that Kathy Hochul could have
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: assigned special prosecuting status to.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: I thought it odd. Cornell's luck is dismal. You know
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: what they announced over the weekend? Cornell will be the
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: first Ivy school to offer degrees in prison. Maybe for
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of their undergraduates who get caught up in
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: this kind of criminal activity. I mean, could you have
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: announced it at any worse period? But let's go over
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: what apparently Jane Doe thought. She put her thoughts down
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: in texts. She thought that the two guys that she
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: had a relationship with, Newell and Matthew Newell, that they
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: were bisexual like her. So now, does this mean when
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: they were having their threesome, that Newell and Matthew were
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: having sex with one another? Oh my God. It gets crazier,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: because remember, Matthew claims he passed out, apparently according to
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: others he did, and he was being sodomized, but I
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: think even you brought up the point. Was he being
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: sodomized by Jane Doe, or was he being sodomized by Newell?
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: This gets crazy. But then we look at the timeline. Apparently,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Jane Doe is at the gym earlier in the day
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: and loses her wallet. Now she's really upset and she's depressed.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: You know what it's like. You lose your wallet. It's
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: all your ID. That's everything. So she goes to get
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: a little solace to the sorority that she's part of,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: which there is, in fact, a house mom. By the way, Natalie,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: when you were part of your sorority, was there a
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: house mom? No, we didn't have houses. There were no
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: houses on the campus I was on. Because a house
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: mom is an adult who's basically supposed to be supervising
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: the young ladies at this point. And apparently what happened
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: makes the house mom even more culpable than some of
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: the other young ladies. So when Jane Doe comes, you know,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: she's upset. She's lost a wallet. She starts taking swigs
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: of Tito's vodka right out of the bottle. And one
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: of the girls urged her, hey, slow down here. But,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: you know, alcohol is not supposed to be served in
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: the sorority to begin with. So they don't want to
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: take her downtown because they're going to go bar hopping
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: and they're going to be drinking at bars downtown. So
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: she's all depressed because she's left behind. Well, guess what
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: the house mom does? The house mom says, would you
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: like to join your friends? I'll get you an Uber.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: And then the young lady who should not have been
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: going out bar hopping ends up joining her friends at
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: a series of bars. She's 20 years old. So they
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: stamped her hand at the door that says she's not
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: eligible to get alcohol. And yet she's downing them. She's
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: knocking them out.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: And she had some earlier. I mean, she had been
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: drinking and doing drugs all day long. So I guess
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: if I was defending the young men, I'd say, how
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: drunk are you? How can you say that you said
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: yes or no? How can you say this was a rape?
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: If you were so intoxicated, you don't even remember what happened.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's a big part of this case, how
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: much she drank.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: And the other thing is, when you look, when you
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: do the deep dive in the lawsuit that brought this
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: to everybody's attention, she's suing the sorority. She's suing the
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: house mom for not stopping her. She's suing the two
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: bars that she went bar hopping to as a 20-year-old.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: They knew she was a 20-year-old. She was underage. They
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: should not have been feeding her drinks. Remember, I think
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: it was Matthew who indicated she was 10 drinks up
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: before she even got to the frat. Oh, yeah, they
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: had the open bar at the sorority earlier on, according
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: to the model citizen, the mom of the house. Right,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: so she's also suing the frat. She's suing the school. Boy,
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: this is a big lawsuit, and all along the way...
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: although she's not taking responsibility for anything she did, it's
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: clear that there were opportunities for people to have stopped
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: her along the way and they chose not to. Absolutely.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, maybe the worst thing that happened
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: to their lawsuit is the criminal case. The criminal case
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: is now going to take priority over everything. And the
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: criminal case is going to be investigated by lots of
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: professionals with the state and local and the university and
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: And depending on what they come up with, if any
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: of the stuff we're hearing about her is true, it
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: is going to be difficult to prosecute that case because
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: she seemed like she was all over the place on this. Now,
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: the wild card in all of this is Letitia James.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: Getting Letitia James, who, as you mentioned, is running for
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: office and wants higher office, out of this case so
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: there's no politics in this at all would be paramount.
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: But once she's out of the case... This is not
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: an open and shut case in a criminal court. And
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: if it's not an open and shut case in a
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: criminal court, it's going to be really difficult in the
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: civil court.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: And before she decides to let the frat know what
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: her intentions are, because she's mad by then, this is
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: six days later. Before that, she's communicating with Newell. She's
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: communicating with Matthew Newell. She's basically assuaging them and saying, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: things got a little out of hand, but, you know,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: nothing criminal was done. You guys were great. You know,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: I love you. Then six days later, after Newell and
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: Matthew are texting back and forth with her, but also
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: meeting with their frat brothers to try to get everybody's
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: story together, she texts something very ominous. Y'all ain't my friends.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: Y'all are covering your asses. And that's when all of
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: a sudden the process begins as she goes to report
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: it to the university police, who, as you have pointed out, Larry,
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: took her report but eliminated the part of the report
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: where she is now saying, I am 100% sure that
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: on that evening I was raped. And now it's just
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: a series of texts that we all get to see.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: how crazy the life was with some of these young
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: people as they were going back and forth and back
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: and forth and back and forth. And this morning when
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: I was going to get my prescription that Dr. Lederman
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: wrote for me at a Duane Reade that's 24 hours,
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: I'm walking back, right? As I'm patrolling the neighborhood, I
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: see like five undergraduates walking down the block. I guess
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: they were at a party here. One of them is
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: wearing a bright red Cornell sweatshirt, you know, with Cornell
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: and white I say, you're a pretty brave guy to
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: be wearing that sweatshirt at this time, especially in this neighborhood,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: which is a Me Too neighborhood. And obviously a lot
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: of the women there would have been at those demonstrations
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: at Cornell. He didn't have much to say.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: No, I can imagine. I'll tell you one last thing
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: on all of this. The criminal case is going to
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: be paramount. It's going, everything else is going to take
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: a backseat to the criminal case. And so that's why
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: it is so unbelievably important. And remember, In the background
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: of everything is a ridiculous state law, the voluntary intoxication law,
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: where if she was so drunk that she couldn't give consent,
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: then she can't claim rape.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: It's ridiculous.
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: I know it sounds ridiculous when I say it. Incredibly
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: ridiculous law. But they may be found not guilty, the
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: Cornell 7, because of that state law. And if they're
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: found not guilty... In the criminal case, the civil cases
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: are going to be very difficult for Jane Doe to prove.
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: A lot more to talk about in this. We'll keep
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: it up all week. In the meantime, what about Kelly Clarkson?
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: She slams a Brooklyn store publicly. We'll tell you what
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: that's all about, plus a chance to see Journey at
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: age 25. We all know Kelly Clarkson, right? Kelly Clarkson,
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: big star. She was the first winner of American Idol,
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: has been at the top of the charts many times.
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: both for country and for pop, mostly for pop. She's
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: on The Voice. She has her own talk show, The
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: Kelly Clarkson Show, which she tapes right here in New
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: York City.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: And now.
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: She's having a problem, apparently, with a novelty and toy
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: store in Brooklyn. It's called Art of Play. It's in
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: Brooklyn Heights. And she was there on October 10th. That's
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: when this happened. And she went in there to look
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: at some of the items. And this is what she
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: wrote afterwards on X. She wrote, Wow, dude. You're an
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: idiot and just lost a huge sale, but you all
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: should go check out Art of Play in Brooklyn if
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: you enjoy being treated like Julia Roberts' character in Pretty Woman.
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: For sure, check it out. And then she put a
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: thumbs down. So the store came out and said, none.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: Of that happened.
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: We are very upset that she feels that way. Certainly
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: she was able to buy anything she wanted, but the
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: one thing she was looking for wasn't for sale. And
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: so we couldn't sell it to her. It's $ 15, 000 for
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: some old piece of artwork and toy that you hang
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: on the wall. And Kelly Clarkson responded, cool, cool, sure,
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: it wasn't for sale. That's the narrative Art of Play
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: is going to go with. So the whole conversation we
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: had when I asked you if it was for sale,
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: whilst pointing to the price tag on the wall, Singing
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: Bird didn't happen as your elevator eyes looked me up
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: and down in a condescending way and saying, yes, it
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: is for sale, but it costs $ 15, 000. Perhaps you'd like
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: to look at something else. So they're denying that conversation happened.
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, the store is going to do
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: really well on this because I think that people are
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: going to go to that store. Kelly Clarkson, you should
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: know better. Don't you have a publicity person to go
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: and punch down? Regardless, I mean, yes, you didn't feel
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: like you were treated well. I get that. That's fine.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: But vent to your people or don't go there anymore.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: You're never going to win in this battle. You left
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: one thing out. She could have sought resources that you
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: provide as the celebrity shopper. You like to shop till
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: you drop. You could have gone in place of her.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: You're smooth. You would have negotiated. You would have come
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: up with either a purchase or you would have just
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: told Kelly, not really, not really ready for your purchase.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: I'll be your celebrity shopper. Why the hell is she
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: going into this little store and making such a big
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: deal out of something where I am going to actually
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: take this side of the owners and operators of that store? Well,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know what they did or what they made her.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: Feel like. And I don't know if they were condescending
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: at all.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: But who cares? Who cares? Walk out of the store
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: or just roll your eyes or tell them you're Kelly Clarkson.
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: And then they would have changed completely. But to run
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: the social media, this is a, And she's not even
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: of that generation. This is a whole generation that they
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: don't say what they mean.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: They just run the social media. You like her, don't you, Natalie?
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: You like Kelly Clarkson. I don't have any opinion of
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: Kelly Clarkson, honestly.
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: I've always liked her. I think she's funny. I think
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: she's quick-witted. I'm surprised at this. I'm really kind of
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: shocked at this.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: I do feel for the store because how can a
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: small business ever– fight against this they they were getting
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: negative reviews on their you know google searches just because
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: people were doing it they probably have never been in
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: the store they've put out a couple of statements on
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: instagram saying they did try to tell her that there
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: were other options meaning there was a twin of this
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: molly they were willing to sell you know they so
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: who knows who's right but You know this poor business.
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: But she should never punch down. That's the big thing.
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: It's a bad look no matter what.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: She has earned the title of diva. Now, Mariah Carey
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: is the diva of all divas. But you got to
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: put Kelly Clarkson right on up here. No, I agree
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: with you. I'm Kelly Clarkson.
• 50:42
  Speaker 12: Roll over.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: I want that on the wall. I don't care. It
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: should go to me.
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: Well, we don't know what happened. We don't know if
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: she was treated that way. But you're right, though.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: Even if she was, realize who you are and just
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: let it roll off your shoulders. I can't believe she's
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: still that sensitive after all this time. Let's get the
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: news now at 730 with Daria Albinger.
• 51:06
  Speaker 13: Morning, guys.
• 51:07
  Speaker 7: Showers ending, becoming mostly sunny later today with a high
• 51:10
  Speaker 7: of 71 degrees. Well, your kids probably have the day
• 51:13
  Speaker 7: off and you may have it off, too. This is
• 51:15
  Speaker 7: Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples Day. The big Columbus Day
• 51:18
  Speaker 7: parade steps off along Fifth Avenue. Later today, Mayor Mamdani
• 51:22
  Speaker 7: will not take part, but Governor Hochul will, and Indigenous
• 51:25
  Speaker 7: Peoples Day celebrations will continue on Randall's Island. There's another
• 51:30
  Speaker 7: manhole spelunking incident in Manhattan.
• 51:32
  Speaker 12: Sewer climbers were spotted just before 1 a.m. in Manhattan's
• 51:36
  Speaker 12: Hamilton Heights, descending into a manhole on West 141st Street
• 51:40
  Speaker 12: between Amsterdam and Broadway. Police think these so-called mole people
• 51:44
  Speaker 12: are looking for valuables washed away in storm drains and sewers.
• 51:48
  Speaker 12: Last Friday, five of them, including a woman, were seen
• 51:51
  Speaker 12: emerging from a manhole in East 82nd Street near First Avenue.
• 51:55
  Speaker 12: No arrests yet in either case. But last month, cops
• 51:58
  Speaker 12: nabbed two men in an East 61st Street sewer while
• 52:02
  Speaker 12: the U.N. General Assembly was in town. The pair charged
• 52:05
  Speaker 12: with conspiracy and trespassing. Sarah Lee Kessler, WOR News.
• 52:10
  Speaker 7: We're drying out after what was left of Hurricane Isaias
• 52:13
  Speaker 7: swamped the area yesterday. Some places got up to two
• 52:16
  Speaker 7: and a half inches of rain. A deal to allow
• 52:19
  Speaker 7: Russian diesel into U.S. and global markets is getting pushback
• 52:22
  Speaker 7: from members of both parties. President Trump says the initial
• 52:25
  Speaker 7: 300,000 tons that will be released with more to follow
• 52:27
  Speaker 7: will bring prices down. But critics say it gives Vladimir
• 52:31
  Speaker 7: Putin a financial lifeline and it undermines U.S.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: Sanctions.
• 52:34
  Speaker 7: A surprise announcement from Pope Leo. He's going to have
• 52:36
  Speaker 7: surgery to remove a nodule on his lung that was
• 52:39
  Speaker 7: found during routine checkup.
• 52:41
  Speaker 14: There are encouraging signs. The first American pontiff saying the
• 52:44
  Speaker 14: abnormality is in a very initial phase and well localized.
• 52:48
  Speaker 14: Doctors plan to remove it in the coming days and
• 52:51
  Speaker 14: tests will then determine whether the nodule is benign or cancerous.
• 52:54
  Speaker 14: The Vatican is telling us he's expected to spend about
• 52:57
  Speaker 14: a week in the hospital. Maggie Rudley, ABC News, London.
• 53:00
  Speaker 7: The Jets and the Rangers win. The Giants game with
• 53:02
  Speaker 7: Washington ended in a tie. Next news, 8 o'clock bulletins
• 53:06
  Speaker 7: at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: Well, when we come back, the great Warner Wolf has
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: a lot to say about the Jets and the Giants.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: We'll talk to the great one when we come right back. Oh,
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: what a weekend of NFL action. And who better than
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: Warner Wolf to kick it off with the Giants game,
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: a tie, a tie. Break it down for us, Warner.
• 53:33
  Speaker 5: All right, Gers, here we go. Well, I'll tell you what,
• 53:36
  Speaker 5: no one can accuse the Giants of being boring. For
• 53:41
  Speaker 5: the third straight week, they go down to the finish.
• 53:44
  Speaker 5: Instead of a possible 0-3, they are 2-0 and a tie.
• 53:49
  Speaker 5: And what in the world was Jalen Daniels thinking? 12
• 53:53
  Speaker 5: seconds left in overtime. Washington has the ball second down
• 53:58
  Speaker 5: of the Giants 24. So obviously, he is told by
• 54:03
  Speaker 5: the coach to either spike the ball or throw.
• 54:06
  Speaker 15: It out of bounds.
• 54:08
  Speaker 5: Instead, he runs around, he's tackled, time runs out before
• 54:13
  Speaker 5: Washington can attempt a game-winning 42-yard field goal. And he
• 54:18
  Speaker 5: did blame himself, Daniels, after the game. And I'll tell
• 54:23
  Speaker 5: you who you can't blame is Jameis Winston, who lives
• 54:26
  Speaker 5: for at least another week before we see Jonathan James, J.J.
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: McCarthy.
• 54:32
  Speaker 5: Winston, 326 yards passing and three touchdowns. And no interceptions. Man,
• 54:40
  Speaker 5: he's looking good. As far as the Jets go, you
• 54:44
  Speaker 5: know the old saying, I'd rather be lucky than good? Oh, man.
• 54:49
  Speaker 5: Without the Jets recovering of the Browns' muffed pun attempt
• 54:53
  Speaker 5: in the fourth quarter, you know it's possible the Jets
• 54:56
  Speaker 5: lose 12-10 rather than winning 17-12. It's also a good
• 55:02
  Speaker 5: thing they were playing against the Sean Watsons. who had
• 55:06
  Speaker 5: just 18 completions for only 155 yards, and he was
• 55:12
  Speaker 5: sacked eight times by the Jets' defense. Oh, Larry, this
• 55:18
  Speaker 5: could be the end of your two-and-three Eagles coach, Nick Sirianni,
• 55:23
  Speaker 5: who with eight seconds left and a 17-16 lead, chose
• 55:27
  Speaker 5: to kick off long downfield rather than kick the ball
• 55:31
  Speaker 5: out of bounds. Instead... The Jags got a 53-yard kickoff return,
• 55:38
  Speaker 5: and they kicked the winning field goal 57 yards with
• 55:41
  Speaker 5: one second left. I think Sirianni could be gone this week.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: I do, too.
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: And somebody said if they would have allowed the guy
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: to run five more yards, it would have been over.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: One second left when he hit the ground. One second left.
• 55:57
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 55:58
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 55:59
  Speaker 5: By the way, you were talking about Mike.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: One quick question. Back to the Giants with Cam Scataboo.
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: He's fumbled. Scataboo, yeah. Yeah, every game. You know what
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: coaches used to make you do if you kept fumbling?
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: They did it to Tiki Barber. You got to carry
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: the football around all week wherever you go. All week.
• 56:18
  Speaker 5: Lombardi did that, too, with Green Bay and Washington. Absolutely.
• 56:23
  Speaker 5: By the way, when he was coach of the Redskins, Lombardi–
• 56:28
  Speaker 5: Larry Brown, who won the Russian title, he noticed in
• 56:32
  Speaker 5: practice that Brown was a second off after the snap,
• 56:37
  Speaker 5: and he checked his hearing, and he noticed that he
• 56:40
  Speaker 5: was hard of hearing, so he gave him a little
• 56:43
  Speaker 5: special thing in his ear.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I could use that. I could certainly use that,
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: Warner Wolf.
• 56:51
  Speaker 5: You know, you talked about Mike Ditka. who really revolutionized
• 56:57
  Speaker 5: the role of a tight end as a pass catcher.
• 57:00
  Speaker 5: Before that, the tight end was a blocker. Except there
• 57:04
  Speaker 5: was one guy before him, and that was John Mackey
• 57:07
  Speaker 5: of the Baltimore Colts. And then came Ditka, who did
• 57:11
  Speaker 5: the same. Hey, how about the two-faced phonies of the week?
• 57:16
  Speaker 5: The NFL Code Commission, who fined two Bronco players $ 15, 000
• 57:21
  Speaker 5: each for for imitating a dice roll when celebrating a
• 57:28
  Speaker 5: successful two-point conversion. A dice roll?
• 57:31
  Speaker 14: Who are you kidding?
• 57:33
  Speaker 5: The NFL advertises on gambling outlets everywhere, and they even
• 57:38
  Speaker 5: broadcast their partners with draft kings and fan duels. Man,
• 57:43
  Speaker 5: talk about a bunch of phonies. Should Aaron Boone be
• 57:47
  Speaker 5: invited back as Yankee manager?
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: No.
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: No. Get him out of here.
• 57:51
  Speaker 7: I agree.
• 57:52
  Speaker 5: No, get him out. He's a robot manager. He took
• 57:56
  Speaker 5: out his starting pitchers way too soon all season based
• 58:00
  Speaker 5: on analytics and pitch counts. My estimation, he cost the
• 58:05
  Speaker 5: Yankees at least five, six, maybe seven games by doing that.
• 58:10
  Speaker 5: And keep in mind, he lost to the first place
• 58:12
  Speaker 5: Rays by five games, which cost them a buy and
• 58:16
  Speaker 5: home field advantage in the playoffs. By the way, the
• 58:19
  Speaker 5: combined payrolls of three of the four remaining playoff teams
• 58:23
  Speaker 5: still alive, Brewers, Rays, and Cleveland, they don't even come
• 58:28
  Speaker 5: close to the Mets' payroll of $ 358 million and the Yanks'
• 58:33
  Speaker 5: $ 342 million. What does that tell you?
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're three of the lowest in the league, right?
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: Aren't they three of the bottom five?
• 58:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah. So, I'll tell you, man.
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: That's amazing. And.
• 58:48
  Speaker 5: Talk about passing the buck. The woeful Mets fired their
• 58:52
  Speaker 5: batting practice pitcher, their quality insurance coach, and their major
• 58:58
  Speaker 5: league hitting coach.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 59:01
  Speaker 5: Look in the mirror. They weren't the ones who let
• 59:04
  Speaker 5: Pete Alonzo, Brandon Nimmo, Freddy Peralta, and Edwin Diaz go.
• 59:09
  Speaker 5: What a sorry organization. And the Pool of the Week
• 59:13
  Speaker 5: goes to President Trump for announcing he would give steroid
• 59:19
  Speaker 5: cheater Roger Clemens the Presidential Medal of Freedom Award. Come on, Mr. President!
• 59:27
  Speaker 5: Why don't you also give one to Barry Bonds or
• 59:30
  Speaker 5: Mark McGuire, Rafael Primero? Why do you think Clemens is
• 59:35
  Speaker 5: not in the Hall of Fame? Because he cheated, that's why.
• 59:39
  Speaker 5: How many batters, I'm thinking, did Clemens make look bad
• 59:44
  Speaker 5: enough who were perhaps eventually sent down to the minors
• 59:48
  Speaker 5: or maybe had their careers ended because they couldn't hit
• 59:52
  Speaker 5: the cheating Clemens? Well, you know, you said, Curtis, Disgraciado.
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: Disgraciado. But, you know, Manny Ramirez, who used steroids, had
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: to use so much estrogen to cover up the steroids
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: when he was a Dodger, and he wants to make
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: a comeback.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he does. First of all, he was suspended 50
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 5: games for steroid use, then 100 games. But he abruptly
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 5: retired before he faced the suspension. As you say, he
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 5: wants to return to baseball as a hitting coach. Man,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 5: I can see it now. Romero's addressing his new team.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 5: Gather around, fellas. Here's how you inject the steroids in
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 5: trying not to get caught. And finally, here's the stooge
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 5: of the week. This goes to New York Times writer
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 5: Nicholas Kristof, whose headline said, The U.N. is terrible, but
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 5: we need him. Who needs them? For what? The U.N.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 5: has outlived their usefulness and biased anti-Semitism decisions for years.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 5: All they do now is take up parking spaces and
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 5: cause gridlock. If they moved out of New York, I
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 5: don't think anyone would miss them.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: That'd be a celebration. Very well said. Thanks a lot,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: Warner Wolf.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: When we come back, Natalie Migliore went out to talk
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: to people about what makes, oh, this is going to
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: be great, what makes a New Yorker A New Yorker.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: That's next.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 16: Now, it's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: Up from the streets to the suites with a simple
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: question for everyone down there. Are you a Fugazi or
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: are you a real New Yorker? Am I right or wrong?
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 17: Yeah, no, I mean, that is the question. And it
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 17: really starts heating up as an artist who is unaffiliated
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 17: with New York City actually set up a website last
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 17: week to verify someone's authenticity as a New Yorker. That
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 17: dropped a few days before Gotham has put out an
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 17: article saying the hottest way to show you're an authentic
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 17: New Yorker is to ride a city bike. Okay, so
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 17: let's take it to the streets, right, because that's the
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 17: real source of it, to find out what locals think
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 17: makes a native New Yorker.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 18: Being a native New Yorker is just, you know, getting up,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 18: doing what you have to do.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 15: I'm from Syracuse originally, so I am a native New
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 15: Yorker and landed down here, though, 50 years ago. So
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 15: what makes a native New Yorker? A willingness to put
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 15: up with the good and the bad.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: They know their way around, you know. It's not like
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: a place where, oh, I've never been there before. I've
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: been everywhere.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 19: I don't know how to answer that. Because my parents
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 19: are not from here, of course. And my siblings and I,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 19: we were born and raised here. So I don't think
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 19: there is one definite thing that makes a New Yorker, really.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 19: Or maybe that is what makes a New Yorker, the
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 19: fact that we are all different.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: Actually, I commute from Jersey. But from what I guess
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: I have seen, it's like people don't care here. They don't.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: So I feel like that's what makes a native New
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: Yorker different. Are you happy with those answers, Curtis, or no? No, no, no.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not happy with those answers at all. I'm sorry.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: Because in my mind, you're here, you're living here, even
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: if you were birthed somewhere else, even if you spent
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: most of your time somewhere else, you're a real New Yorker.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 17: Wow, that's very welcoming and inclusive for everybody.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: Because what about all those, what about all the migrants, right? Well,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: if they can vote, eventually, if they're made whole, right?
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: If you're a politician, you want them to vote for you, right? Well,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: are they a New Yorker, though, if they've been here
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: all this time? No, of course not.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 16: See?
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 7: Ooh, we got it.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 9: No.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 17: Okay, but the debate has always been how long you've
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 17: had to live in New York to be considered a
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 17: New Yorker. So you're saying, you know, whatever. A lot
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 17: of people say, you've got to be native, though. So
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 17: a little bit differing from what Curtis is saying. And
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 17: as people who are born here, they know all the
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 17: places they don't want to go.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 4: Times Square mostly around like Midtown, especially around like Fifth Avenue.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 4: I like going there once in a while, but like
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 4: if I try, if I like don't have to go,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 4: I won't go. Rockefeller Center in the winter.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 8: I've only ever been to the tree once.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: Other than that, everything else I watch from TV, like
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: from home.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 15: I'm not waiting in a line.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 18: Maybe the Bronx.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: I can't think of any.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 15: There's places I haven't been. After all these years, I'll
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 15: walk down the street and go... You know, I've never
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 15: been on the street before because New York will do
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 15: that to you. But purposely avoid. I just use my
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 15: sixth sense. And I think people who've been in New
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 15: York for a while use their sixth sense and they go,
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 15: I'm going to go here and I'm not going to
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 15: go here.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 17: Yeah, I feel that, you know, as somebody who walks
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 17: around the streets with a microphone all the time, I
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 17: find myself walking down streets.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: That I'm not familiar with.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 17: I'm always finding new places and that's actually how I
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 17: find new restaurants sometimes.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I gotta go here.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 7: You know, forget about a Google search.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 17: That's how I find a new place that I wanna
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 17: try to eat.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's old school. Yeah, it's cool. That's old school.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 5: It's different.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 17: But if you're coming to New York with the city
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 17: welcoming nearly 65 million people last year alone, which, by
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 17: the way, is not up to post-pandemic numbers. Still, we
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 17: haven't seen that rebound yet. A couple of New Yorkers
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 17: have some tips on what first-time visitors might want to
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 17: consider while they're here.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 18: You know, if you do come to New York, just
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 18: go with the flow. You know, keep your head on
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 18: the swivel still. or people crazy out here also. That's
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 18: what you should do. Keep your head on a swivel
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 18: and pay attention to what's going on in your surroundings.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 15: Be flexible and have a little money in your pocket.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 15: It just costs a lot.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 4: Don't stand in the middle of the street, especially in
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 4: the middle of a busy walkway like in Manhattan.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: Just get out of the way. Yeah, and that is.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 17: What a true New Yorker would say, because that's the
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 17: first thing I think when I'm walking across a street
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 17: in New York City and there's four people along the
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 17: sidewalk walking in one direction, blocking all of us when
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 17: we're trying to get through. But look, there's no official
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 17: timeline like, hey, you've been here this long. You're a
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 17: New Yorker. The cultural benchmark to be considered from anywhere,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 17: according to Reddit, is 10 years. But a lot of
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 17: New Yorkers who I talk to on the street say,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 17: you got to be a native to be a New Yorker,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 17: but not Curtis.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: Not today. No, I give everybody a pass because people say, oh,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: you're the real New Yorker. Thank you. But let's welcome
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: everybody else, right? I'm being very welcoming today. It's Columbus Day.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be out there in the parade. The
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: mayor won't. Some other people won't. But I'll be there
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: because I am a very welcoming person. Waving to all
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: the people like royalty. Shaking hands.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: Being the typical politician. Hey, I love you. Just vote
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: for me. Vote for me.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 20: You're from New York.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: Vote for me.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: Natalie Migliore, WR, a reporter with us every day at
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: this time. She'll be back tomorrow at this time at 7.50.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: Thanks a lot, Natalie. Well, the big story locally, of course,
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: and nationally at this point, is another ICE incident, this
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: time in New York City. We knew it eventually was
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 3: going to come here, and of course it has happened today.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: It happened last week. It happened late.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 3: We were able to talk about it Friday morning, but
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 3: so much has happened over the weekend.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: As you know, at this point, a man, Mr.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: Bagal from the Dominican Republic, who is not in the
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 3: country legally, has a long rap sheet. He's 28 years old.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 3: He had his five-year-old son in the backseat, Oscar Bagal.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 3: There was a petition to get him, an emergency petition
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: to get him, and they did what they were supposed
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: to do. The ICE officers went there. He tried to
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: rev up his car and get out of there. Shots
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 3: were fired. He was injured, but he's going to recover.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: He's not in New York City anymore. He's being held
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 3: now in New Jersey. And since then, there's been nothing
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: but protests. There's been nothing but some speech that really
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 3: is insightful. And when I say insightful, I don't mean
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: that it's insightful in that it means something deeper, insightful
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 3: in that it could incite riots and it could incite
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: bad things to happen. We were waiting, I think when
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 3: we first talked about this last week, for the Trump
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 3: administration to come out and say something. Well, Mark Wayne
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 3: Mullen certainly did come out and say something. He had
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 3: a news conference last And Mark Wayne Mullen pointed out
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: something that I didn't think of. But when you think
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 3: about it, it's kind of amazing. He talked about how
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 3: quickly Zoran Mamdani was out and Kathy Hochul was out
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: to bless Trump, saying they were rotten to the core
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 3: and they should be abolished, just like before Mamdani used
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 3: to want to abolish the police. Now he just wants
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: to abolish ICE. And so he went after them. He
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: said there's going to be an investigation. He called the president.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: He was yelling.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: He wants them out of their city. And Mark Wayne
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 3: Mullen pointed out that we had a police officer that
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 3: was attacked. just a week before, and nothing from the mayor.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 21: NYPD officers are some of the finest officers we have
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 21: out there. Just last week, one was stabbed seven times.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: By illegals.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 21: One that we had a detainer on that New York released.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 21: Both had extensive criminal backgrounds. Did the mayor of New
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 21: York say anything about that?
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 3: Nope.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: And neither did Kathy Hochul. Nothing. Police officer gets attacked? Nah.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 3: Because it happened from an illegal. Now, illegal are the
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 3: preferred citizens right now. Illegals really can get away with
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 3: anything they want to, especially in New York, because the
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: Democratic Party is now holding them up as being sacred.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: But a police officer gets attacked? No.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: No, it made the papers. Zoram Mamdani was too busy
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 3: for that. I'll tell you what. An illegal gets shot
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: by ice. Wow, he dropped everything.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: And now he wants a further investigation. This man is
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: so far over his skis. He thinks he has a
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: lot of more power than he actually does. He really believes.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: He is on par with the president. So he's going
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: to have an investigation.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 13: In terms of what I will be doing with the
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 13: police commissioner is a review of that entire 24 hour
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 13: period that includes ISIS shooting. It includes the NYPD's response
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 13: to the incident, as well as the ensuing protest. It
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 13: includes ISIS use of a privately owned parking lot as
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 13: a staging area. And it includes every tool that is
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 13: available to us to protect New Yorkers across the five boroughs.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that'll be a fair investigation. As you just heard,
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: all he's doing is going after ICE. He's not going
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 3: to investigate anything else. And Curtis, last week, when this
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 3: was all happening, you were saying we should really have
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 3: Tom Homan come out. We should really have Tom Homan
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: should be handling this.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: Well, he spoke.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 22: I don't know what color the sky is in my
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 22: dummy's world, but ICE isn't going anywhere. We're going to
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 22: be in New York City. We're going to be in
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 22: New York State. We're going to keep enforcing law. That's
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 22: why President Trump's in the Oval Office. The American people
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 22: voted for a secure border, the most secure border in
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 22: the history of the nation now, and they voted to
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 22: enforce immigration law.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: That's exactly what we're going.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 22: To do in New York City and every other sanctuary city.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 22: So he can scream and yell all he wants.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: He's not going to stop us from doing this job.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: So Tom Holman seems to be saying we're doubling down. Well,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: he can double down, but you don't have an ICE director.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: You don't have, like, you have an FBI director. You're
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: supposed to have an ICE director. The new Department of
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: Homeland Security's choice, Mullen's choice, who had been the head
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: of the state police in Oklahoma, was rejected. They need that.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: Number two, they're supposed to be taking their own body cam.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: It seems in almost every situation where they were supposed
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: to be taking their own body cam, They don't produce
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: body cam. Well, they weren't trained to use it. They
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: didn't turn it on. We've yet to see the ice
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: body cam. We don't know the idea of the shooter.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: Shoot at a car seven times. It appears it may
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: have been an automatic weapon. You need to know who
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: that is because there have been situations in the country
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: where they have recruited so quickly that they didn't do
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: proper background checks, proper training. And then lastly, As I
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: have said consistently, the guy's a bad hombre. You want
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: to pick him up. But whether you're bounty hunters or
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: a warrant squad or U.S. Marshals, there's a time and
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: a place to do it. You don't do it at
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: 4 o'clock in the afternoon. School is out. The streets
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: were packed with people. And by the way, Mullins was
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: saying this guy is the worst of the worst. Well,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: he's a bad hombre. He's not the worst of the worst.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: There have been far worse people that they've had to
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: go after, murderers and rapists. Nobody's. Accused him of murder
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: or rape. Assault. Assault. Violent assaults, he's accused of. I
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: just thought he was a bad hombre. But 4 o'clock
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: in the afternoon, you know where he lives. He could
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: have gone overnight. I just felt it was the wrong time,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: wrong place to do that intervention. And again, I'm waiting
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: for the Department of Homeland Security to release the body cam.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: Every time they do, this always happens to the traffic stops.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: And they promised us every time they do a traffic
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: stop that the body cams would be on and we'd
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: be able to see for ourselves. Now, we've seen the
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: NYPD body cam, but they arrived after the fact. We've
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: seen some video from some of the nearby cameras because
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: nowadays cameras are everywhere. But we've yet to see the
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: body cam footage of ICE and the ID of the shooter.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: It appears what was said is one person fired seven shots. Now,
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: why would you fire seven shots? The guy didn't have
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: a weapon. None of the ICE officers were injured.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 3: I think this has been litigated several times now, and
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 3: it keeps coming up. Every time somebody accelerates their car
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 3: and goes forward when someone is standing in front of
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 3: their car, that car is then a deadly weapon. And
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 3: so this has happened now a couple times. They are
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 3: allowed under their laws and under most laws to open
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 3: fire at that point, and that's what he did.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: But you are aware that's not been happening in New
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: York City with a number of law enforcement agencies. That
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: have opened fire and shot somebody? Seven shots, Larry?
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 3: The guy was driving right at him. What are you
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 3: going to do at that point? Let me see ICE's video.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, they're always promising to give the body cam, right?
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 3: Aren't they always promising? We're doing our own internal investigation. Well,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 3: every time they've done an internal investigation, it hasn't turned
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 3: out too well. In Maine, in Minneapolis... I want to
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 3: know who's the guy who decided to pull the trigger
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 3: seven times. That is, to me, incomprehensible that you would
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 3: shoot at somebody seven times. And luckily, the five-year-old kid
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 3: in the back did not get hit. Right, and they
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 3: didn't know the five-year-old was in the back. They made
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: that very clear, but they said, you know who didn't
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 3: know the five-year-old was in the back? That guy. And
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: he was going to try to get out of there.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 3: He didn't care about the little kid at that point.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 3: He was trying to save himself. Look, I hate discussing
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 3: these things because we always talk about the ICE officers
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 3: and what's wrong there. We never seem to talk about
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 3: the guy. We never seem to talk about sanctuary city policy.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, this whole witch's brew of opening the border
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 3: and then creating sanctuary cities and then creating soft-on-crime laws
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 3: so that these people are out, and then we defend them.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: Then we say, oh, no, no, we shouldn't pick them up. Oh, no, no,
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 3: they shouldn't be shot when they try to run down
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 3: an officer. Oh, no, no, that's so horrible. That's so
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 3: horrible that it's an upside-down world, that ICE are the
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 3: bad guys now, and the criminals, the illegal criminals who
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 3: shouldn't have been in this country, they're the people we're
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 3: going to defend.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: You would acknowledge they operate like no other law enforcement agency.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: They don't show ID. They cover their faces. Now, apparently,
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: they're going undercover. Why does that bother you so much?
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: That's never happened before in the history of America. That's
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: what they do in third world totalitarian dictatorships.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 3: They're not going after you. They're not going after me.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 3: They're going after people who are in this country illegally.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 3: And most of them have committed crimes.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: They never did that before. And they made arrests when
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: Tom Holman was in charge of ICE. As you know,
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: he was given the award by Barack Obama. They actually
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: sent more illegals back to their country of origin. I
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: never remember seeing them in the streets.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 3: That's because they didn't cover it when Obama was president.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: They didn't cover it back then. Nobody was covering it
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 3: like it's getting covered today because now it's a political issue.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: You have no idea how they did it in the past.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: It looks so bad. This is America. It looks so
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: bad because you want it to look bad.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 3: And there's a whole party that wants this to look
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 3: as bad as possible.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: Why are you covering your face? Why are you not
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: showing ID? Why do you care?
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 3: They're going after people that are not supposed to be
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 3: here who commit crimes. This guy was a bad guy
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: and wasn't supposed to be here. He's the one that
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 3: revved up the car. He could have been taken away.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 3: No fuss, no mess.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: He decided to make this a violent incident. So he
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: is responsible for somebody shooting seven times at him. If
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: you rev your car up and you go at somebody
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: with a gun, yes, you should expect to be shot.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: Or any of the ICE officers hit. What's that? With
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: any of them hit by the car. Does it matter? Yeah,
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: it matters. If somebody fires a gun at you, it
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: matters that the gun doesn't hit you? I want to
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: see their video from the body cam. Right, because you
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: know that was silly. You know that was silly. They
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: always promised that they would. But we have lots of video.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: What are they waiting for? Well, they're going to have
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: their own investigation. And who is the guy who fired
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: seven times? Why are you.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 3: I am not crying a tear at all for this guy.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: I want to know what his record was previous to
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: him being high. Because they operate like cowboys, like no
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: other law enforcement agency in the United States. But they're
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: going after people who aren't supposed to be in this country.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: So now warrant squads can do it. Bounty hunters don't
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: even do this. I don't understand why you are always
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: siding with those who are illegally and criminals. Where is
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: the body cam footage? Criminals illegally. They promised us. I'll
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: bet you they don't have any. I'll bet you they
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: won't reveal who the shooter was. Maybe not. Seven shots, Larry,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: at four o'clock in the afternoon. Come on. on. If
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: this were your neighborhood, you'd be screaming. No, I wouldn't.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: I'd be saying thank you for getting them out of
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: the hole. I would be.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 3: There's no question. Don't question me on that. Some of
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 3: this stuff is so far out there.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: How crazy. upside down this whole world when you be
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: interested in looking at that and it's all.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 3: For politics and you've fallen for wouldn't you be interested
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 3: in looking at that body cam footage yes of course
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 3: okay so let's see if it comes out this week
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 3: anyway up next ella langley cancels a concert people couldn't
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 3: identify her in a in a lineup a police lineup
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 3: plus a chance to see journey next I love bringing
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 3: up Ella Langley. Anything she does in the news, we're
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 3: going to cover just because Curtis doesn't seem to like
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 3: her at all, but she had one of the biggest
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 3: songs of all time.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: Sounds like every second song of Nash would have played
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: on their playlist.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 3: No, it's a huge song. She's become a big star.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 3: You say nobody could pick her out of a lineup,
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 3: but I think most of the people in this building
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 3: know who she is, but we're talking about her because
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: she had to cancel a concert in Tulsa because police
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 3: got a phone call saying that an individual intended to
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 3: cause great harm at the 19,000-seat venue using both firearms
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 3: and explosives. So they called her, and immediately she just
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 3: canceled the concert.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 21: 19,000?
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: She was going to have 19,000 people in the stands?
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 3: She's selling everywhere now. She's going to sell out stadiums.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 3: She's a big, big.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: Her bias was there. Natalie, our producer, her bias is there.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: She keeps humming that song in between breaks just to
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: rattle me and bother me. Yes, that's what I'm doing.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: But no, obviously, I don't want to see anybody get harmed,
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: but that must have been a pretty serious threat. For
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: somebody to cancel a concert. Well, she was.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 3: Criticized afterwards for canceling the concert because they did a sweep,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 3: they found nothing, they said it was safe, and she
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 3: went along and then she made a statement afterwards, said,
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 3: a billion out of a billion times, I would cancel
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 3: that concert. I'm not going to take the chance. I
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 3: defer to the artist. I defer to the artist.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: So even though, look, the reason I don't like her
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: is I don't think most people know her. And the
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: number one song of all time on the playlist continuously,
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: I don't buy that. Well, except it was. I mean, people,
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Well, I came up with the research
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: of Tom Cuddy, right? Do you dispute Tom Cuddy, our
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: program director?
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 3: I don't dispute that she was number one 24 weeks
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 3: in a row on the Billboard charts. That is indisputable.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 3: Let's get to some talkbacks.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 16: Come on. A native New Yorker's got to be born here.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 16: They have to have gone to school here, raised, had kids,
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 16: and now they're here still. That's a native New Yorker.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 16: The rest of these people are just wannabes. Put that
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 16: in your pipe.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: And smoke it. Anybody who says that's a native New Yorker.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: You might as well have called them fugazis.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 16: Stopping a mugging in New York City makes you a
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 16: New Yorker.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's a big bar. That's a good one. Guys,
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: with the passing of Mike Ditka, here's a great trivia question.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 12: Ditka was one of only two people to win a
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 12: Super Bowl as a player, assistant coach, and head coach.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: Who was the other? Wow, a brain buster. Coach, assistant coach,
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: and player. You're going to have to give me a
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: moment to Google that. So that I can have the
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: correct answer. We can do that after the concert. I'm
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: thinking he's a Dallas Cowboy. A Dallas Cowboy? I'm thinking
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: he's a Dallas Cowboy. I may be incorrect. But now
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: let's give away some tickets.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 17: So now I bow to you.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: Help me lose.
• 1:22:43

• 1:23:28
  Speaker 7: 71 degrees. It's a holiday for a lot of people.

• 1:23:35
  Speaker 7: Mayor Mamdani will not take part, but Governor Hochul will.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 7: It's also Indigenous Peoples Day.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 20: They're singing, dancing, and reflections to celebrate Native American people
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 20: who lived in the Americas before Christopher Columbus arrived. Organizers
• 1:23:48

• 1:23:51
  Speaker 20: uplift the resilience, living cultures, and enduring strengths of Indigenous people.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 20: Indigenous Peoples Day is seen as an alternative to Columbus
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 20: Day by some. I'm Scott Pringle, WOR News.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 7: Most schools are closed, so are banks, and there is
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 7: no mail delivery today. Oscar Belgal is still being held
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 7: at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. The legal team
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 7: for the man who was shot by ICE agents last
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 7: week in Marble Hill says he has a bullet lodged
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 7: in his neck and he can barely hear out of
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 7: his left ear. Mayor Mamdani wants a full review of
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 7: the shooting, continuing his call for ICE to end operations
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 7: in the city. The Department of Homeland Security says Bogal
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 7: is in the country illegally, and he has a criminal record.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 7: President Trump says it's a done deal, but Russia says
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 7: discussions continue over the so-called energy ceasefire, which would allow
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 7: Russian diesel to be sold in the U.S.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 23: President Zelensky says he is open to an energy ceasefire
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 23: if Russia stops its attacks, too. President Zelensky even saying
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 23: he's willing to hold new elections if Russia agrees to
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 23: a total 60-day ceasefire. A spokesperson for President Putin rejecting
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 23: that idea flat out, and Russia still hasn't responded to
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 23: President Trump's call for an energy ceasefire.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 7: ABC's Mary Bruce, the president heading back out on the

• 1:25:17
  Speaker 7: remember right.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 9: Yep.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 7: Backup quarterback for the Chiefs, won Super Bowl IV. Assistant
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 7: coach under John Madden, won Super Bowl XI. And as
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 7: a head coach, led the Raiders to Super Bowl XV
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 7: and Super Bowl XVIII.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we Googled it, too. I have to tell you, I.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 7: Did know it was Flores, but I don't remember all
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 7: the teams that he played. I'm a football nerd. Next news,
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 7: 9 o'clock bulletins at once.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR. All right. Thanks a lot, Daria.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 3: Congratulations to Leslie Rivera from Shirley, New York, who just
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 3: won a pair of tickets to see Journey October 25th
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 3: at the Prudential Center. Tickets on sale now at Ticketmaster.com.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 3: You get another chance to win tomorrow at 825. Well,
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 3: will there be a response to the attack of an
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 3: airport in Saudi Arabia? The president says, yep. We'll talk
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 3: about it when we come back. Well, this just came
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 3: in in the last hour. Saudi Arabia is forced to
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 3: extend the suspension of all flights to and from its
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 3: main international airport in Riyadh after a further round of
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 3: Houthi missile attacks caused more damage and left one more dead.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 3: The Gulf nation said it was taking the step after
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 3: Houthi missiles killed 13 people on Saturday and left 300
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 3: more injured. Saudi State TV showed passengers deluged in smoke
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 3: and things falling from the ceilings. No one was able
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 3: to board a plane at that point. No planes have
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 3: gotten in and out after the two attacks after two days.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 3: And right now, Curtis, there is an investigation going on,
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 3: an internal investigation going on in Saudi Arabia as to
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 3: what happened to their missile defenses. How did these missiles
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 3: get through? They thought they were secure. They thought it
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 3: was all closed off, and it obviously wasn't. They got
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 3: through twice, so maybe they knew something. Maybe they had
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 3: some intelligence on the missile defense system, or maybe they
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 3: learned from others how to get missiles through. Donald Trump
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 3: has been involved in this, of course, speaking to all sides,
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 3: even the Houthis.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 9: We have communication with the Houthis, and we'll see what happens,
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 9: but what they did was very bad.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see what happens. I think what is going
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 3: to happen is we're going to join with Saudi Arabia
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 3: in retaliatory attacks. President Trump has already kind of signaled
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 3: that that's going to happen. Saudi Arabia can't just take
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 3: this without doing anything back. So they have to attack.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 3: And we are apparently, according to President Trump, and that
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 3: just also happened, we apparently are going to help them
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 3: in that regard.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: So, Curtis, thoughts? Well... The president was trying to do
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: whatever he could to avoid any kind of engagement in
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: the Middle East until after the midterms. This would not
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: be good. Saudi Arabia has decided to try to determine
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: who should be leading in Yemen. Yemen has always had
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: civil wars. First, it was the monarchy versus the communists,
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: north versus the south. Then it's the Houthis who are
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: in the north and the Saudi-supported Yemenites in the south.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: Always fighting, always battling one another. They're all Muslims, so
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: it's not like they're battling one another over religion. It's
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: all about who's going to be in charge of Yemen.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: Saudis were bombing them years ago. Then there was a peace.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: Then they started bombing them again. And Saudi Arabia, although
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: we've sold them some of the most advanced military defense
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: mechanisms and offensive mechanisms that are available on the marketplace,
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: they depend on mercenaries. The Saudis don't appear to want
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: to fight. Remember, we had to come to their aid
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: when it appeared that Saddam Hussein would not only push
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: through Kuwait, which he did, but go right through Saudi Arabia.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: And we knew that Saudi Arabia did not have the
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: ability to stop him. So if we do this. This
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: just helps Iran because, remember, they're affiliated with Iran, and
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: this is exactly what Iran wants. They want to somehow
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: entice us to get involved somewhere because they know it's
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: all about the midterm elections. There's no doubt. They probably
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: have the big 72 big screen TVs in their caves
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: somewhere in Tehran watching CNN, Fox News Channel, MSNOW, and
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: all other communications that they can tap into. to see
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: how Trump is doing in the midterm. So got to
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: be really careful. Although I got to tell you, if
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: you haven't seen the video, you must, because you see
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: all these passengers, they're online, they're sitting there waiting. They
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: have no idea what's happening. And you can see as
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: the missile hits, boom, how they all get knocked back
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: to chaos. Obviously, unfortunately, 13 died, 300 injured. And they're
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: firing missiles back and forth. So this just creates more
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: problems in the whole region.
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 3: And the Houthis right now are saying this wasn't an
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 3: unprovoked attack. They say it was retaliation. They claim, and
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 3: you just alluded to this a little bit, that some
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 3: 91 Yemenis have died and 168 have been injured by
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 3: Saudi-led's coalition campaign against that terror group. That's over five years.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 3: It's not recent. It's over five years. But they say
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 3: they've wanted to retaliate, and they finally saw a chance.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 3: And I wonder what that opportunity was that they saw.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 3: I wonder how they knew they could get these missiles through,
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 3: because obviously they all got through, and it hit the airport.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 3: So there is a weakness in the defense. How did
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 3: they know?
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: Well, somebody probably tuned them in, remember? Saudi Arabia, the government,
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: is the defender of Mecca and Medina. You are expected,
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: as a practicing Muslim, at least one time in your life,
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: to visit Mecca and Medina, do the Hajj, as they
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: call it. You get a lot of Sunnis going through.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: It's a Sunni nation. That's the majority of the Muslims
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: in the world. And then you get a lot of
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: Shias who are coming through there also. So who knows
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: where loyalties are in these occasions? But I will tell
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: you this. If we're going to back Saudi Arabia... We're
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: going to have to provide most of the muscle. Hopefully
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: it will not be troops on the ground. It'll probably
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: just be flights that are bringing missiles into the areas,
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: cruise missiles itself from some of the naval personnel that
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: are offshore. But this just, again, this just creates even
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: more and more problems in the area. Yeah, and sources
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: are saying that Saudi Arabia is really leaning on us
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: right now to join them in retaliation. That makes me
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: believe they can't pull this off on their own. No,
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: they've tried. But look, the Houthis, if you look at
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: some of the pictures, they're wearing sandals, plastic sandals, and
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: they're carrying all kinds of weapons. And you're saying to yourself, wow, Saudis,
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: you can't beat these guys? They can't. In fact, the
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: Saudis have to hire mercenaries from parts of Africa to
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: do the fighting for them. It's a wealthy nation. You know,
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: nobody there wants to fight. They all want to enjoy
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: the richness that comes from the oil and natural gas.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: When you depend on mercenaries and you depend on others
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: to do your fighting, you know, sometimes you're a dollar
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: short and a day late. So let's see what President
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump determines to do. Anyway, up next. Oh, wow.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: Breaking news. Ilhan Omar, the congresswoman from Minneapolis, has just
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: had her D.C. home raided by federal investigators. Maybe we
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: can give you a few tidbits on that. And today
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: is the Columbus Day Parade. Curtis Sliwa will be in
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: the parade as I am every year. And Zorhan Mandami
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: has not been in any of the parades, including the
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: big one today that kicks off at 1130 on Fifth Avenue. Well,
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: a bit of breaking news this morning.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 3: The home of Representative Ilhan Omar, a Democrat in Minnesota.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: You know her.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 3: I'm sure she's a A prominent member of the squad
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 3: was raided this morning at about 4 o'clock in the
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 3: morning our time in Minnesota by Homeland Security Investigations. Now,
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 3: HSI is just a part. It's the investigative unit of
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 3: the Department of Homeland Security. Multiple federal agents with HSI
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 3: jackets were seen outside of Omar's home in Minnesota, also
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 3: her Washington, D.C. home, in the early hours on Monday.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 3: Two sources close to the investigation say the search stems
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 3: from a criminal fraud investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman's immigration paperwork.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 3: So if you thought that this was about the fraud investigations,
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 3: it doesn't sound like it is. This sounds like it
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 3: has to do with the fact, and I'm just going
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 3: to say these are allegations, the fact that she claims
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 3: she was married to her brother to get her brother
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 3: into the country. But this is also the Congresswoman's immigration paperwork.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 3: So We're just pulling straws and trying to read into
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 3: the situation. I'm sure we're going to find out much
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 3: more as the day goes on.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, it doesn't matter what she's accused of.
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: She always makes matters worse. You know, the new guy
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: that she married who had the vineyards, and then apparently
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: he was making millions of dollars with the vineyards, and
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: he doesn't have the vineyards anymore. It's There is so
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: many fraudulent activities surrounding her, but obviously this could be
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: just a basis. Is she a citizen because of what
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: she did to get access into the country, which was
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: it apparently marrying her brother? Boy, that is, that's pretty dodgy.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: She's never answered those questions. No, never.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 3: She's always avoided it. By the way, the DOJ did
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 3: put out a statement just saying that we, we had
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 3: this raid this morning. So, It's been confirmed by them, too. Remember,
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 3: I guess it was back in September, Tom Homan said
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 3: that there was an ongoing criminal investigation into Ilhan Omar.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 3: So this is part of it. I wouldn't expect charges
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 3: right away. I mean, this is just part of an
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 3: ongoing investigation. So they're going to sort through what they found,
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 3: and then there may be no charges or there may
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 3: be charges later. in a couple of weeks or in
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 3: a month. But in the meantime, this is happening right
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 3: in the middle of the midterm elections with some really
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 3: important elections happening in Minnesota.
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: Well, we can be assured the squad is going to
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: show up somewhere to give her their sister in solidarity support,
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: because we know they're not marching in any of the
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: respective Columbus Day parades in their areas that they represent. Guaranteed,
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: the squad will be out there in some way defending
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: the actions of Ilhan Omar, who I would say out
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: of all the squad members is the weak link. I mean...
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: She has so many questions about not just her status,
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: all the fraud involving Somalians in the healthcare industry in Minnesota,
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: which may well end up electing a Republican as the U.S. Senator.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 3: That's why I was surprised this had to do with
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 3: immigration status. I thought for sure, because there's already been
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 3: a lot of arrests and charges in the welfare fraud,
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 3: and she was at the center of that. So I
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 3: thought immediately when I heard her house was raided, oh,
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 3: It's going to be because of the welfare fraud.
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 7: Nope.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 3: No, this is about her immigration status. Now, think about
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 3: that for a second. She can't be a U.S.
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: Congresswoman. Correct, if she's not a citizen.
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so there's a lot of ramifications to this. We'll
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 3: have a lot more on this tomorrow, but it's going
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 3: to play out. throughout the day, and you're going to
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 3: want to keep listening to find out the latest.
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: And I'll be out there at the annual Christopher Columbus
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: Day Parade on Fifth Avenue, as I am every year.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: So tomorrow I'll be able to tell you what was
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: happening along the parade route. One thing we know for sure,
• 1:38:09

• 1:38:28

• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: it's right at the top of the column. Hey, a
