Hour 3: UN negotiations · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, all the hype leading up to the Prime Minister
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: of Israel's speech before the UN General Assembly is just
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: about coming to a close, because after our show at
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: some point, he will take to the bully pulpit. About
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: two-thirds of the assembled General Assembly will walk out, as
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: they've done in the past. And then he has promised
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: that he will give a fire and brimstone speech in
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: defense of the Israeli Defense Forces and what they have
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: had to do in Gaza and obviously Lebanon. And more importantly,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: he's going to have remarks aimed directly at Mayor Zorhan Mandami.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: that he is promoting anti-Semitism in New York City, and
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that he is pro-Hamas. And then he said, I got
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: a few other surprises along the way. So out of
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: all the presentations made, this is the one that has
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: attracted the most attention because of the volatility that will
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: take place in the UN General Assembly, what Bibi hopes
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: to get out of this. What American Jews who support
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Israel hope to get out of this, who were assembled yesterday,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: by the way, in Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza, although they didn't
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: say they were there to support Bibi. They were there
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: to protest worldwide anti-Semitism. I've actually participated in those rallies
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: before when Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran, came in that day.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: The guy who was a Holocaust denier, remember, and claims
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: he didn't have problems with gays and lesbians in Iran
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: at Columbia University. Obviously, because if they came forward that
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: they were gay and lesbian, they'd get killed. Usually 100,000
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: people would assemble Dag Hammarskjöld. I spoke at that rally. Yesterday,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: they had hundreds, mostly Jews, some Gentiles who were there.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: But today they expect the mother of all the rallies
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: that have taken place all week long. The pro-Palestinian demonstrators
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: will assemble in Bryant Park. And then they'll march over
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: to the U.N. just about at the time that Bibi
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: will be taking to the podium to give his speech.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know what he's going to say today, although
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: he says there's going to be some surprises. But I
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: can tell you this, and I know this for a fact.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: It is not going to be a speech for us.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: It's not going to be a speech for the delegates
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: or the world. This is going to be a campaign speech.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: He is running for his life right now. And according
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: to the Jerusalem Post, he may be leading right now,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: only because Gaddy Eisenkot, who is running against him, has
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: been awful, awful in the campaign against him. As a
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: matter of fact, that There's an editorial right now in
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Israel saying he's got to wake up. He's got to
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: do something. He's got to get his act together if
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: he hopes to win this. So while he's here, and
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: by the way, it played very well in Israel when
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: he attacked the mayor of New York City. Very, very well.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: So he knows that. He knows he's got momentum. This
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: is a huge stage for him. He doesn't care who
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: stays in the audience. He doesn't care. Because all he
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: cares about is talking to the people back home. This
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: is a speech that could put him over the top,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: and he knows that.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Look, he should have taken a page out of Putin
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: and President Xi. They haven't been to the UN General
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Assembly since before the lockdown and pandemic. They did a
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: video in 2020 for like the 75th anniversary, but they
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: haven't made an appearance yet. You're right. He's doing this
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: in a desperate attempt to win his parliamentary elections at
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the end of October.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's desperate anymore.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, it's desperate.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Well, everything I'm reading, and this is from Israel, says
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: he might be ahead right now, that they have slid
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: so much. The other side has slid so much. They're
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: blaming the other side, by the way, not him.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: By the way, the big story there. because he never
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: had a 9-11 committee assemble about what took place on
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: October 7th, the anniversary coming up, as to why he
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: and his government was asleep at the wheel. Now, everybody
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: involved resigned except for him. He was supposed to put
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: together a committee he hasn't. And his problem is that
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the UAE, United Arab Emirates, which is friendly to Israel,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and Egypt, which is friendly to Israel, There have been
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: statements made that they had reached out and they had
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: let Bibi know there was a threat by Hamas 10
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: days before. And apparently, like our own Bill Clinton and
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Bush 43 didn't react to the attack on 9-11. We
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: just heard that, you know, there were warnings. The CIA
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: was warning both administrations. Likewise, so you can imagine if
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it's fire and brimstone in the U.N. General Assembly, which
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you know what Bibi will be. yesterday the king of
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: jordan laid in to uh bb in a way he
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: normally never.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Does i get it i know i know you don't
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: like the guy at all and i understand that you've
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: been pretty darn clear about that but i'm just telling
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: you what reality is right now and reality is that
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: he has a chance of winning his seventh election well
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: he didn't last month he didn't i'll give.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: You an example Before there was Sid Rosenberg, Israel first
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: at WABC, BB's biggest supporter, no matter how wrong he
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: may be, there was Michael Savage. Michael Savage was on
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: WOR here. You remember that, Natalie? Six to nine at night.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: He was the number two syndicated radio talk show host
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: in America, second only to the rock-ribbed all-American conservative voice
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: of region from Franklin Square, Long Island, Sean Hannity. Number two.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: And he was like Mr. Zionist, Mr.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: BB.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: He was Israel first in many instances. This is what
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: he posted. Netanyahu should not speak at the UN. He
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: has brought about more hatred for Israel. Israel was justified
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: in its response to the Hamas-led massacre October 7th, but
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: he has gone too far. So you have strong allies
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: now beginning to flake away and saying enough is enough.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: In the United States. He doesn't care about the United
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: States right now. He could care less. He could care
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: less about how you feel about him. He could care
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: less about how the General Assembly feels about him, Michael
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Savage feels about him, all the other people you named.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: He could care less. All he cares about is the
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: people that are voting in the Knesset and are going
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: to decide his future. Because it's not only his political
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: future that rests on that, but maybe his freedom. Because remember,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: he's going to stand before a tribunal for war crimes
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: if he doesn't win this election. So this is unbelievably
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: important to him. This is a huge speech for him today.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: But trust me.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: All the negatives you can say about him, all he's
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: thinking about is his own survival at this point.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, of course.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: That's every politician.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: It's not selfish.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: You probably did it when you were running for mayor.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: He's 20 years in office. Come on, Larry. Give me
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: a break. Things have gotten worse over there, not better.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: But you don't get to decide. You don't get to decide.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: You may not like it.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: But you know what? This will impact the midterm elections.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Because there are Republicans now who are saying, hey, man,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: what is it with the support of Israel? The Democrats
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: have turned against it. It won't have an effect at
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: all on the midterm elections. You know, the Iran war
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: is going to have an impact. Yes, absolutely. And who
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: got us involved in the Iran war? Bibi.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: They're not putting that connection together. They're putting it directly
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: on Donald Trump. So the people that are going to
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: vote for whether the Iran war, makes a difference to them,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: which I think it's probably third or fourth on the
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: list at this point, because it's still going to be
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: gas prices. Then they're going to blame Donald Trump. If
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: they don't like what's going on, they're going to blame
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump. If they think it's important. They're going to
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: give credit to Donald Trump. But they're not going to
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: factor in, B.B. You are obsessed with them. And I
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: understand that. In this city, a lot of people are.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: The world is.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: No, they're not.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Look at the polls, Larry, across America. Your favorite guy
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: on CNN the other day.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: What do the polls have to do with whether he
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: is the center of the world? That's his popularity. It
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: has nothing to do with.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: This is America first. I'm interested in our country. The
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: negative impact that's happening on our country. Because it does
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: have an impact on us. I don't want to see
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the Republicans lose the midterm election. So we've got chaos
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: in the next few years. His election over there is
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: going to have zero effect on the election here. Zero effect.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: You show me.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Anybody that says, oh, this is going to be a
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: big deal. This will be a big deal. It's going
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: to decide who wins the House or the Senate. You're
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: not going to find a person.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: How many people are coming forward now who are running
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: for election in tight races and saying, I'm on Bibi's side.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I'm on Israel's side. They're not even talking about it.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: No, they're not. There's bigger, bigger topics. Larry, look, you
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: may be Israel-centric.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not. I'm really not. I'm thinking the globe.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: It is a pariah nation under Bibi.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: I am nonplussed.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: It has stimulated the anti-Semites.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: No, you are anti-Bibi, and that's fine.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: And most Americans are.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I understand. That's fine.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Most Jews are.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: But you're giving him too much power in this country.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: He doesn't have that much power in these elections.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Don't you think a reflection of a recent poll that
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: said amongst Jews across America— Zoran Mandami is more popular
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: than Bibi Netanyahu. Zero effect in this election. Zero effect
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: in the midterm. Explain to me. Explain to me how that.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: poll affects this election. I'm America first, okay?
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: That's so silly.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I couldn't give a damn what goes on in Israel.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I'm America first. You talk about it all the time.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: If the people of Israel want a guy who has
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: made their country a pariah state, then cut off the aid.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Cut off the aid to Israel because if they want
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Bibi and they want continuous wars, this war that they
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: sucked us into in Iran... Good. Live with Bibi. No
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: more USA.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: But for somebody who says, I don't care. I'm America first.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I don't care about Israel. I don't care about Bibi Netanyahu.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: If it was me, we'd rarely talk about him on
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: the show. If I had control over that, you'd love
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: to talk about him.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: How could you not talk about that today?
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: It's the number one story, Larry. You talk about him
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: every day. That's right. He comes up every day.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: This is BB's war. He got us into this mess
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: and he can't get us out of this mess because
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: he wants perpetual war. And you won't wake.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Up to that fact.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: You're insane and you're obsessed.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Anyway, up next, the Beach Boys abruptly cancel several concerts. Oh,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: my God, it seems when you reach 80s nowadays, maybe
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: it's time to hang it up. We'll give you a
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: breakdown on that, plus a chance to see Kenny G
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: in concert next.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, these aging rockers are falling one
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: by one. And I don't mean falling like they're not
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: here anymore. I mean falling that they can't get out
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: and do their concerts. How many have been canceled? How
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: many shows have been canceled? How many tours have been
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: canceled in the last couple of years by acts from
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: back in the 60s and the 70s, even the 80s?
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Some people just can't do it anymore. It can be excruciating.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: And I will tell you this, everybody was looking for
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: the comeback tour of the Beach Boys. Wouldn't that be nice?
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: It would have been really nice, but it doesn't look
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: like it's going to happen, at least as scheduled, because
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: many of the shows have been canceled. Frontman Mike Love who,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: by the way, is now 85 years old. You remember
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: he took a break to recharge. Nobody said he had
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: any medical problems. They just said he wanted to recharge. Well,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: he needs to recharge some more because many of the
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: concerts have been canceled. The band's planned performance at the
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Big E Arena in West Springfield, Massachusetts on February, September 24th,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: that is canceled. at the Univest Performance Center in Quakertown, Pennsylvania,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: where the band was scheduled to perform on September 25th.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: That has been canceled. There's a couple of more on
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: this list. They seem to be having some medical problems
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: that they're not talking about.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I think because they're in their 80s, they shouldn't go
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: on tour. It's the tour, I think, that takes its
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: toll because you're not at home. Continue to do your
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: concerts in your home base. The fans will come to
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: you if they're fans, but not as many. But then
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: you have Willie Nelson at 93 who smokes ropes of
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: dope or marijuana. Even Woody Harrelson said, I can't hang
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: out with Woody Nelson anymore because I'm no longer smoking
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: marijuana as much. And Woody is always rolling up joints.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: But Willie is on tour all the time at 93.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I think Willie Nelson is more the exception to the rule.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: But I think when these guys and gals are hitting
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: their 80s, do the concerts in your home base. where
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: you have medical practitioners there, you have more of a,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: because going on tour takes its toll.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree with you. That's actually a really
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: good idea. I will tell you this, what I thought
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: you were getting to with the Willie Nelson story is
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: that pot makes you live longer.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Well, apparently in his case, it does. By the way,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Mike Love, the only surviving original member, because Brian Wilson,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: you know, just recently died, horrible dementia, is a big
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: fan of Donald Trump. And Donald Trump's a big fan
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: of Michael Love, Mike Love. But I just got to say, guys,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: you've been great. You continue to be very good in
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: terms of your concerts. You pack them in. But lighten
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: the load for yourselves. We want you to stay around
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: a lot longer than maybe you would if you stay
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: on tour. But anyway, it's time for us to give away.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: No, no, no.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Can we get a couple talks?
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay, okay.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Of course, of course. Action Park was a blast, but
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: this was also the 80s. Not all cars had seatbelts,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: and we were building BMX ramps out of plywood and
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: cinder blocks.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: He's right. It's true.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: On August.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: On August 4th, the White House put out a statement
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: that there were cyber attacks on the water systems in
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: 12 states, but they wouldn't say which cities because they
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: didn't want to panic people. And I think that's why local, state.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: And U.S.
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: Government are acting like these guys going down in the
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: sewer system is no big deal because they're trying to
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: fix that problem still.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: No, they're unrelated, but we're going to give you an
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: update in the last segment because they're not doing what
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: they always used to do in the past, so Law
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: enforcement has dropped the ball on this.
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: I have to agree with Curtis right here. I would rather,
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: instead of listening to Taylor Swift, I would rather listen
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: to Yoko Ono and have dental work done on a
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: daily basis for a month without Novocaine.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: That's an amazing combo. So you'd have headsets on while
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: you were getting a root canal, and you'd still enjoy
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: that more than Taylor Swift is what you're saying.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yoko Ono wailing away, screaming. With no Novocaine for
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: a month.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: I love that. Oh, come on.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: She's not that. But right now at 8.30, let's get
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: the news from Daria.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Curtis.
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: Partly sunny, breezy, and cool today. We'll see a high
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: of 67 degrees. There's been another manhole breach sighting in
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: New York City, this one on the Upper East Side,
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: and it's causing international concern. The unauthorized entry was near
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: the hotel where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is staying.
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: while he takes part in the UN General Assembly.
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: Sources say that there are now more than 20 cases.
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: They've been tracking the getaway cars and identify the patterns
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: tied to these people. And sources believe that those suspected
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: Venezuelan nationals are looking for valuables underground. We also just
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: learned that this is likely not related to the visit
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: That's ABC's Shantay Lanz in Manhattan. Netanyahu will speak to
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: UN members today, and he is expected to come down
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: hard on Mayor Mamdani, who he says supports Hamas. Mamdani
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: has accused Netanyahu of genocide against Palestinians, and he says
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: that he should be arrested as a war criminal. Acting
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: Navy Secretary Hung Kau is now saying eight sailors who
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: were assigned to the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: attempted suicide during its Middle East deployment. The Lincoln spent
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: more than 300 days at sea and is now heading
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: back to its home port of San Diego. Well, it
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: is one of the hardest decisions that a pet parent
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: will have to make. What do you name your furry friend?
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: And here's what.
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: Many of our feline children are being called.
• 17:13
  Speaker 9: In celebration of Happy Cat Month, U.S. News & World
• 17:16
  Speaker 9: Report has researched and ranked the most popular cat names
• 17:19
  Speaker 9: coast to coast. This is their third year of compiling names,
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: and they used data from Fletch Pet Insurance Company for
• 17:25
  Speaker 9: the rankings. Luna came in as the number one cat name,
• 17:28
  Speaker 9: followed by Milo at number two, Bella, Leo, and Kitty.
• 17:32
  Speaker 9: But all cats come to that. Oreo, Oliver, Lucy, Shadow,
• 17:35
  Speaker 9: and Simba rounded out the top ten. I'm Bree Tennis.

• 17:52
  Speaker 2: New Jersey. You just won a pair of tickets to

  Speaker 2: at Ticketmaster.com. You got another chance to win tomorrow at 825.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: When we come back, if you have a child or
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: a grandchild that is college age, maybe a teenager, this
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: is something you need to know about. After a college student,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: actually two college students, OD'd from what's called gas station heroin.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: And it's legal. We'll talk about it when we come back.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: And our 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival, presented by Capital One.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Relive all the biggest moments streaming on Disney Plus and
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Hulu beginning October 1st. Something I want to call to
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: your attention, especially if you have college-age grandchildren or college-age children,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: because there is a substance out there that you should
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: be aware of. It's become very popular online. in universities.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: It's called CRATOM. C-R-A-T-O-M. C-R-A-T-O-M. It is connected right now
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: to two deaths at the University of Mississippi. Here is
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: the 911 call.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: I'm meeting around the campus to Stewart Hall, 61 Women's Terrace.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Stewart Hall, 61 Women's Terrace. Or any possible OD.
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: They do not believe the subject's breathing.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Trying to start CPR over the phone.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they tried at CPR. They tried to save him.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: She was already dead. There was also a male student
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: that was killed there. Kratom has killed well over two
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: dozen high school students and college students across the country.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing about it, if you're hearing it for
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: the first time, and I just heard about it with
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: this University of Mississippi death. It is a legal substance,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: legal in the United States, in that it is not
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: federally controlled. Now, some states have laws against it, but
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: it's not considered a federally controlled substance. It varies from
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: state to state. 31 states have some sort of regulation
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: in place. A couple of states have banned it outright.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: It is not FDA-approved substance. And again, those rules on
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: how to and where to sell Kratom vary state to state.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: So it's important to know. And I have not looked
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: into the rules in New Jersey and New York. I should,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: but I will. And I'll pass that along to you.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: But Kratom is natural. And they also, this is the
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: word you might hear. It's called gas station heroin because
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: you can pick it up at most gas stations. and
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: it's become extremely popular on campuses. So it's something you really,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: really need to know about. Here's more from a physician.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Kratom's been around for a while, and it's been sold
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: in gas stations for quite a while. And now what
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: people are doing is they're isolating the active compound in Kratom.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: You may have heard the term 7-OH before, and they
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: are producing it at very potent levels. And now, you know,
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: if Kratom wasn't enough, they're starting to buy this 7-OH.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: There's a couple of active ingredients in it, and they're
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: making it stronger and stronger and stronger because then it
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: becomes more addictive and more addictive and more addictive. That
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: is one of the things. That, by the way, is
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: the contributor at Fox News, Dr. Stephanie Widmer.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Fentanyl is incredibly potent, but the cyclorphine goes beyond that.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: And it was actually first identified around 2024, but its
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: prevalence is starting to increase and it's something that we need.
• 21:37
  Speaker 9: To watch out for.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: So there should be some laws about this, that it
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: should be banned across the country because now it's starting
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: to kill people. They have now made it stronger than
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: it used to be. And again, you can buy it
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: at a gas station, but As she said, it started
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: in 2024. Nobody even heard of it before 2024. It's
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: becoming popular now. But certainly you should have a talk
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: with your grandchildren and your children about this so they
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: don't make the same mistake that many young people have
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: made across the country.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Well, shame, shame on us. We went through this with K2.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Remember the fake marijuana? They sold it in gas stations,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: truck stops. uh, you, or you did it nice package,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: you know, K2, they would take the leaves falling from
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: a tree and spray it with chemicals. And it turned
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: people into K2 zombies, very cheap pay for a dollar
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: or two. So obviously nobody is regulating what's being sold
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: at these gas stations, truck stops and rest stations. So
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: now we have a new drug. And once again, Americans
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: have an insatiable appetite for drugs. They'll come up with
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: a new drug, but There is a remedy for many
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: of you who are frightened because your children are away
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: at college and university and maybe might succumb to the
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: peer pressure of sororities or frats or their age group. Yes,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: our own producer, Natalie. has discovered an agency in which
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: you can hire a mother away from home to jolt
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: over your students to make sure maybe they stay out
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: of harm's way. Can you give us some details on this, Natalie?
• 23:14
  Speaker 8: I will.
• 23:15
  Speaker 10: And Larry, I did a very quick search for you.
• 23:17
  Speaker 10: This is very, very basic, but it looks like in
• 23:19
  Speaker 10: New York, Creighton is illegal to sell for anyone under 21.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: Great.
• 23:24
  Speaker 10: But in New Jersey... The laws are different and it's
• 23:27
  Speaker 10: still broadly accessible.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: And if you're over 21 in New York, you can
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: buy it?
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: That's what it says.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable. It is.
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: And in New Jersey right now, there's some legislation, but
• 23:38
  Speaker 10: it's still around. And I have heard about this from
• 23:40
  Speaker 10: my kids who have said that, you know, it is
• 23:43
  Speaker 10: a thing that college kids talk about it. So yeah,
• 23:47
  Speaker 10: college age, you should try to find out what's going
• 23:50
  Speaker 10: on in their worlds because everything happens so fast.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's sick that they're making this stronger and
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: stronger and stronger to make it more addictive.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: How can they hire you, Natalie, at the various universities
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey to watch over their kids?
• 24:05
  Speaker 10: You brought this to my attention recently.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: There are companies. One is called Mindy Knows.
• 24:10
  Speaker 10: It's not around here. It's about 10 large universities that
• 24:14
  Speaker 10: you can be a mother to a child at a
• 24:17
  Speaker 10: school that maybe you're not around. So say you have
• 24:20
  Speaker 10: a child at Rutgers, but you live in South Carolina.
• 24:24
  Speaker 10: And you're like, oh, my gosh, I need to have
• 24:26
  Speaker 10: somebody to be on top of my kid. Apparently, you
• 24:28
  Speaker 10: can hire mothers. So I'm thinking this is a good
• 24:30
  Speaker 10: sidekick for me.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: What about Penn Station to make sure that my undergrad
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: son is not involved in packaging cocaine and distributing it
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: around the country?
• 24:38
  Speaker 10: That would be hard for me to probably do. I
• 24:42
  Speaker 10: could be hired out to help your kid if they
• 24:44
  Speaker 10: become sick when they're at school and you can't be there.
• 24:47
  Speaker 10: And I could run and get them stuff.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Chicken soup.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. I can make.
• 24:52
  Speaker 10: Really good chicken soup.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 24:53
  Speaker 10: So you have brought this to my attention, and I
• 24:56
  Speaker 10: am now looking at my side hustle being a mom
• 24:59
  Speaker 10: for hire.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: You know what sounds better than Mindy knows? Natalie knows.
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: Natalie knows.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 25:04
  Speaker 8: Natalie knows.
• 25:05
  Speaker 10: And I was thinking. I mean, the universities around, you know,
• 25:08
  Speaker 10: Seton Hall, Ramapo, Montclair.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: There's a plethora.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of them.
• 25:14
  Speaker 10: I mean, I want to be driving distance. I want
• 25:16
  Speaker 10: to be able to get there in a hurry if
• 25:17
  Speaker 10: I need to.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: But there are a lot of women out there who
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: would want to side hustle like this. And the family
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: who has sent their kids away who are worried every
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: time they hear stories like this would feel somewhat comforted
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: that they have somebody they can talk to.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Well, she doesn't need the competition. Don't try to get
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: some more people doing this. Let her establish first.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Flying on their kit. You're like a flock camera on
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: the kit.
• 25:45
  Speaker 10: I am on the parent pages. You know, everybody knows
• 25:48
  Speaker 10: about the Facebook parent pages.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: There's something.
• 25:51
  Speaker 10: That's good reading if you want to have like a
• 25:53
  Speaker 10: laugh here and there. And I'm always chiming in like,
• 25:56
  Speaker 10: Because somebody's like, oh, my kid needs a hair place
• 25:59
  Speaker 10: or whatever.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 26:01
  Speaker 10: Why am I giving it out for free?
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly. Dang.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Can I get involved in this somehow?
• 26:06
  Speaker 10: We'll see.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Anyway up next.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: We'll get back to you.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: It is the big national story, the mole people coming
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: out of the sewers. The latest right near where the
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Israeli delegation is staying on 61st and Park Avenue. And
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: all the experts have come forward, Larry, all of them,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: you know, with their credentials, FBI, former Secret Service, NYPD,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: state troopers, task forces. And they have forgotten the number
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: one rule. When you have these big events where very
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: prominent people are coming and they could be in danger
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: from things that are down in the land under that
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: I have spent a lot of time in, the sewers
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: of New York City coming up next. Okay, all morning long,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: all the experts on terrorism and providing security at high-profile
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: events like we have now in full effect at the U.N.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: General Assembly have been speaking out about how some what
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: appear to be Venezuelans could be climbing through the sewer
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: system of New York City, and in the latest case,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: this is number 20, emerged at 4.38 p.m. Remember what
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: I've said before, Larry, they always do it between 4
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: and 5 when they know there's a police shift change.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: On 61st Street Park Avenue, right down the block from
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: where the Israeli delegation with Bibi are staying while he
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: goes and he makes his presentation at the U.N. General Assembly.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: They get out. You see the video. There's three of them.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: They jump into two cars and they disappear into the night.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: 20 separate times in different locations. And remember what I said, Larry?
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: I said, you know something? This goes back to the basics.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Whenever they would have these major international events or an
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: event involving the president, they would seal the manhole covers.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: You would actually see guys come in and they would
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: solder them shut. I remember seeing it one time on
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: the Upper East Side and I stopped and I talked
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: with the maintenance crew and they said, oh, yeah, this
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: speaker is coming to the United Nations unrelated to the
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: General Assembly meeting. So we're sealing all the sewer covers
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: in the area, and it's something that I know was
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: done on a regular basis. This is like going back
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: to basic 101, and they're not doing it, Larry. Not
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: doing it.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: No, they're not doing it, and they do it for
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: almost every event. This is so strange for a whole
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: lot of reasons. First of all, it's strange that they
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: popped up right by the UN and right by the
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: embassy especially. With all of the security nearby, it's strange
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: that that wasn't looked at, especially because there have been
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: so many cases of it. And the feds wouldn't know that?
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: The Secret Service wouldn't know that? Of course they should
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: know that. But certainly the NYPD, this is extremely embarrassing
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: for law enforcement, both locally and federally. And if it's
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: not taken care of like today, then they've got a
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: real problem. And they've got a real problem in leadership.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Right. So I am going to take this into my
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: own hands. I'm sorry. I realize we're talking about some
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: of the top security experts in the world who have
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: not done this. This is basic 101. I got to
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: find out where they're gaining entrance into the sewer system
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: because we see the videos of them getting out between
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: four and five in the morning, which I've told you
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: why they do it. But they got to come in
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: somewhere and they're not going. in at that location because
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: you would have video of that. So I'm taking it
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: into my own hands. I am examining all the sewer
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: caps over near the United Nations today. Many of them
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: have been made in India in the last few years.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to examine, Larry, as to whether they
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: have been soldered shut as they've been for years in
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: the past.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't get it. I don't understand it.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: And I don't understand why the NYPD from the beginning
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: hasn't been taking this more seriously. They caught some of
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: these guys and they let them go.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: They now have announced that they're Venezuelans, which would mean
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: they're illegals. Maybe that's part of your answer.
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: There, Larry.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. If that's part of the answers, then
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: they should be out of the country. Hey, where's ice?
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Where's ice when we need them? They should be getting
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: these guys and just shipping them out. I get to
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: see a nice agent. You know, I signed up to
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: do everything, but I'm not going down into that sewer.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: There are alligators down in that sewer.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: But anyway, ladies and gentlemen, we'll give you more about
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: that tomorrow as I search all the sewer caps in
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: and around the United Nations. And the talkback of the
• 30:43

• 30:54
  Speaker 4: I went to Action Park a lot in the 90s,
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: and there were always these rides that I thought were

  Speaker 4: a little too daring, like the Tarzan swing where you
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: swing off a 10-foot platform on a rope and then
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: the cliff jump 25 feet in the air. But the
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: ride that really got me the most was the loop-de-loop
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: water slide. It was an enclosed black tube slide. I
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: only saw it there maybe a year or two, but
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: that just seemed a little more on the dangerous side
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: to me.
