  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios. Oh, Wendy's. I love Wendy's.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I think Wendy's is great. They're having some problems. They
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: just closed another 60 locations. I don't know why they
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: had it. But the billionaire Nelson Peltz is a guy
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: who's come in and rescued, bought companies and tried to
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: turn them around. Nelson Peltz bought Snapple. apparently he's about
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: to make a big bid on Wendy's. He wants to
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: get Wendy's, fix it up. So the fact that a
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: guy like that is bidding means there's a good future
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: for him. Burger King has been rising up from the,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I've never been a big Burger King fan, but it's
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: been rising up. I guess that's been hurting Wendy's. McDonald's
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: adding all kinds of crazy items to the menu. We'll
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: get to that coming up. Let's take some calls. 800-321-0710
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: is the number.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: 800-321-0710.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at the calls. It looks like a lot
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: of Florida calls. We have a huge audience in Florida.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: And I know a lot of you think, gee, I'd
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: love to be in Florida. It's paradise. It's paradise. Listen,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: they got some big problems in Florida. We'll get to
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: one of them coming up in the next hour. Let's
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing?
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Good morning from rainy Florida. Florida, where it's been raining
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: for four days now. Yeah.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: You know, people up here, they say, I'm going to Florida.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I can't stand the snow. That's enough with the snow.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Go down there, you get four months of hurricanes. And
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: then for half the year, you get a vicious thunderstorm
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: once a day. Am I right?
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: It rains about 340 days a year, I would say.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: And every time you complain about the rain, the guy
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: on the other side of the counter says, well, we
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: really need it. I'm going, you really? How could there
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: be a drought? I don't understand. It rains every single day,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: literally every single day. It's like, who's stealing the water
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: in Florida? I'd like to know.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Well, that's like a tropical thing, a vicious rainstorm at
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: late afternoon every day.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Every day. I say I want to spend one day
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: completely dry before I die here in this state. I
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: don't think it's going to happen. But you were mentioning
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: congestion parking along with the congestion pricing along with the
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: banning of cars. On a basic level, it's a nuisance.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: It's a pain in the neck. It raises prices. But
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: in a more sinister way, it's a way for them
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: to control the public. You know, if they take away
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: your mode of transportation, where are you going to go?
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: You're stuck there, and you're at their, you know, you're
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: at their want and desires to see where you travel. And,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: you know, we'll provide train for you. They're not going
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: to do that. It's a way to control the population.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely. No, that's what Democrats love. That's why they
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: want you off your great private insurance, health insurance. They
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: want you on government insurance. That way they control it.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: They won't want you driving your private car. They want
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you on public transportation. That way they control it. You're right.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Take away all choice.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Very good point. Yeah, definitely. Excellent point, Mike. Yeah, Democrats
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: are never pro-choice when it comes to anything, except abortion,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: which is fine. But everything else, they don't like choice.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: They'll tell you what health plan you're going to have.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: They'll tell you how you can get to work. They'll
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: decide for you. Let's go back to Florida. Let's go
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: to Joel in Florida. Joel, how are you doing? Good morning, Mark.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Occasionally we get a few days where it doesn't rain,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: but that's not often. Just have a question for you.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: In the past, when Netanyahu was running for office, we've
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: heard that Obama sent people over to Israel to try
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: to see what they could do to disrupt the process.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Have you heard of anything at this time where he
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: might have sent people in or the Democrats sent people
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: in That's why to upset the process.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: There is some funny business going on down there. Absolutely. Definitely. Uh,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: they'll have to uncover it, uh, over the next few weeks,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: but yeah, there's a lot of funny business going on
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: with the voting down there. The latest is, uh, Netanyahu
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: was behind, but the latest is he seems to have
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: pulled ahead just a little, but not enough of the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: votes still too close to call. Uh, Joel, thanks for calling.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: It's going to be, um, Could it be a while
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: before we actually know the results of this election? I
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: don't even know if it will be later today. At
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: some point, maybe by the end of the week, you'll know.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Right now, the latest I got from the Netanyahu team,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: let me give you that again, is 78% of the
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: vote in. Likud, that's Netanyahu's party, 27.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Isari, 22.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: So it's a slight lead. It's a slight lead, but
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: we'll see. Let's go to Chucky in Long Island. Chucky,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: It's Tookie.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: How are you, Mark?
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: What's your name?
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Tookie. Oh, Tookie.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: It says Chuckie.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: Tookie. It's Tookie. It's Tookie.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: That's even worse. What kind of name is Tookie?
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: It's a nickname. It's a long family nickname.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: But Mark, listen, Florida went from God's waiting room to
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: the foreclosure capital of the country. all these people running
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: to Florida to save, think they're going to save this
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: exorbitant amount of money when they leave here. Totally wrong.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Food is just as expensive as here. Gas is more, is, is,
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: is as expensive, if not more expensive. And it's just, it's, it's, it's,
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: it's not what it was. If you want to save money,
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: you have to move to a rural area now, which
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: would be more out West.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: There are cheaper places to live, like in the Carolinas. Well,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I guess that's a rural area. Yeah. Uh, Well, you
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: could move to Connecticut. It's a little cheaper than New York.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: The condos, if you move to a condo on Long Island,
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: where I live, I pay about $ 19, 000 a year in taxes.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: But if I move to a condo, I would have
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: a situation where my taxes would be $ 6, 000 to $ 7, 000,
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: but I have an exorbitant HOA fee. These people in
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: Florida have an exorbitant HOA fee now also.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: That's true. You have a condo, no property tax. Your
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: HOA fee will be through the roof, though. Right.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: It used to be nothing. Now there's $ 700, 000, $ 800, 000. It
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: depends on where you live.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Good point, Tookie. Thanks for calling. Let's go to Walt
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: in Yonkers. Walt, how are you doing?
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Pretty good. As a matter of fact, I'm all ready
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: for Halloween.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you look it. Just picked up my costume. Oh,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: it's not a costume. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Just picked up my costume, a red beret, a red
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: sateen jacket, and a big sign that says, everybody, look
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: at me.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Hey, you know what? That's a good idea for a costume, though.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Just go as Curtis. Although, where do you get a
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: red beret? On the internet. Oh, of course.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good costume. Get a sateen jacket, a
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: red beret. People will know. Everybody knows Curtis. You'll go
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: as Curtis. Is that it, Walt? You just wanted to
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: make a joke about Curtis? That was the whole thing?
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Hey, everybody, look at me.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: From day one, that's Curtis. You're kidding. I've never heard
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: of a radio host behaving like that. You mean a
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: radio host looking for attention?
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: That is certainly unusual. Can you imagine such a thing?
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Son of a gun. Walt, keep working on that. You've
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: got to come up with something better. It's a start,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: but you're not there yet, Walt. Anyway. Should I get
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: to it now? No, I'll save it. I'll save it.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: There's all kinds of problems in Florida. They've got another
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: one now. In major parts of Florida, things that you
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: don't even, you know, you say, well, I don't like
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the snow. Well, first of all, we've got this El
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Nino coming for the winter. That keeps temperatures very warm
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: all winter. So this will be one of those winters
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: most likely where there is no snow. But you've got problems,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: weather problems down in Florida and other things. We'll get
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: to them in the next hour. We'll also get to
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the Democrats now plotting new attacks on Donald Trump. They
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: find things to pick on. They must have a team
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: staying up all night, every night, looking for the littlest
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: things to pick on. We'll get to some of those
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: coming up. Hey, don't forget at noon today, Buck Sexton
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: and Clay Travis, they do a really good show every day.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: You get two hosts for the price of one. Then
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: at three o'clock, you got the single most listened to
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: radio show in America. Sean Hannity at three. You got
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly at six. Jimmy Fallon is the funniest show
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: on radio. It's on every night, 9 to midnight, and
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: it's all here on 710WOR.
