Latest / Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning / Hour 1: Why you should get a dog
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Oh, what a day it was here yesterday on the
- 0:03Speaker 1: floor of iHeartRadio, not just here at 710WR, your number
- 0:08Speaker 1: one talk station in the nation, but also all of
- 0:11Speaker 1: our FM brothers and sisters in solidarity because, Larry, the
- 0:16Speaker 1: North Shore Animal League of America brought puppies in that
- 0:20Speaker 1: they had rescued in South Carolina where they didn't do
- 0:24Speaker 1: any neutering and spading, and boy, these poor puppies would
- 0:28Speaker 1: have been... killed, but they do such a good job
- 0:32Speaker 1: rescuing unwanted dogs all over the country and then finding
- 0:36Speaker 1: a home of their own. And I got to tell you,
- 0:40Speaker 1: you can actually see it posted. I was over at
- 0:42Speaker 1: Classic Rock Q104. 3, normally with Jim Kerr in the morning,
- 0:47Speaker 1: but Maria Malito, and she has her own podcast about
- 0:52Speaker 1: animal welfare. She loves animals and you'll see She's holding
- 0:55Speaker 1: one of these rescued puppies. I'm there. Oh, man, it
- 0:59Speaker 1: was like Puppy Love, that song. What is that, Puppy Love? Yeah,
- 1:02Speaker 1: the Osmonds, I think that is.
- 1:05Speaker 2: I saw a picture of Natalie with a puppy, and
- 1:07Speaker 2: it looks like she's going to adopt a puppy. I'm
- 1:09Speaker 2: not sure if her family knows this yet, but it
- 1:13Speaker 2: sounds like that puppy's going home with you.
- 1:15Speaker 1: I know.
- 1:16Speaker 3: I was really taken by those puppies.
- 1:18Speaker 4: They are having an event this weekend on Saturday in
- 1:22Speaker 4: Port Washington called you might find me there.
- 1:25Speaker 1: I got to tell you, I've been there many times
- 1:28Speaker 1: and there's no smell. The animals are happy. Like some
- 1:33Speaker 1: shelters I've seen around the country, they're drugged up. So
- 1:36Speaker 1: they're like sedated, not there. And boy, people get a
- 1:40Speaker 1: choice of whether it's dogs, cats, or other animals. So
- 1:43Speaker 1: I'm suggesting if you're, if you're looking for a new friend,
- 1:47Speaker 1: furry friend, a furry friend, Just go to the North
- 1:51Speaker 1: Shore Animal League. It's a great place to go to.
- 1:53Speaker 1: And this is in league with a conversation we had
- 1:56Speaker 1: with you yesterday. Let me say one last thing about
- 1:58Speaker 1: that because I think this is important. Even if you
- 2:01Speaker 1: are thinking about getting a dog, even if you say
- 2:05Speaker 1: to yourself, well, I don't like dogs, but I want
- 2:07Speaker 1: to go see the puppies. I will tell you, I
- 2:09Speaker 1: learned something from Natalie. Natalie's never had a dog in
- 2:12Speaker 1: her life. She held one of these puppies and now
- 2:16Speaker 1: she's actually thinking about getting a dog. And so don't
- 2:20Speaker 1: think to yourself, I'm not a dog person, so I'm
- 2:22Speaker 1: not going to go to this thing. Just if you're nearby,
- 2:25Speaker 1: go ahead over there. You might find some love. Come on.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Come on, Natalie. You can handle it. Look, it's getting
- 2:33Speaker 1: a puppy to train properly is a little difficult. Might
- 2:36Speaker 1: keep you up the few hours that you get some
- 2:39Speaker 1: sleep if they're yelping. But you can handle it, Natalie.
- 2:42Speaker 1: You and your family. I think we can.
- 2:44Speaker 4: We've always talked about maybe when we retire, where we
- 2:47Speaker 4: could spend a lot of time with puppies.
- 2:48Speaker 1: The dog.
- 2:49Speaker 2: You only need to spend a whole lot of time
- 2:52Speaker 2: when they're a puppy, I think. I think they're self-sufficient
- 2:56Speaker 2: after they're a puppy.
- 2:56Speaker 1: They get lonely.
- 2:57Speaker 2: I mean, nobody knows this, but dogs get depressed too.
- 3:01Speaker 2: If you leave them alone for too long. But let
- 3:04Speaker 2: me ask you a question.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Retire? You ain't retiring. No, I'm not. You've been here
- 3:09Speaker 1: with all three of the gamblers, the legacy. You've been
- 3:12Speaker 1: with every talk show here on WOR, Joan Hamburg, Barry Gray,
- 3:18Speaker 1: all of them.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't think she said she was. She said
- 3:22Speaker 2: when I retire. That's what she said. Someday she's going
- 3:26Speaker 2: to retire.
- 3:26Speaker 1: Do it now.
- 3:30Speaker 5: Wow.
- 3:31Speaker 1: I thought he liked you. Oh, I do. But you
- 3:33Speaker 1: should have seen it yesterday. She fell in love with
- 3:36Speaker 1: this puppy. Come on. You don't want to break that
- 3:38Speaker 1: puppy's heart. Natalie, that puppy looked at you like, please
- 3:41Speaker 1: take me home. Please take me home. You should get one.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Even for security alone. I will tell you, I did
- 3:47Speaker 2: two stories called the burglars poll. where we went to
- 3:50Speaker 2: prisons and we talked to people that were in prisons
- 3:53Speaker 2: for burglary. And I did it in Chicago and I
- 3:55Speaker 2: did it in Philadelphia. And the number one deterrent is
- 3:59Speaker 2: a dog. More than security alarms, more than anything else.
- 4:06Speaker 2: Nosy neighbors are number two, by the way. But number
- 4:10Speaker 2: one is a dog. So just think, you want to
- 4:12Speaker 2: get a security alarm. You can have a dog. A
- 4:15Speaker 2: dog is always going to bark and the burglars say,
- 4:18Speaker 2: we just go. As soon as you hear a dog,
- 4:20Speaker 2: we leave. Now, that sounds like a real dog guy.
- 4:23Speaker 2: You've been a dog guy your whole life, right?
- 4:25Speaker 1: I have been, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No cats. Take
- 4:27Speaker 1: us through the transitions of the different dogs you've had.
- 4:31Speaker 2: Well, we bought my grandmother lived in West Philly and
- 4:34Speaker 2: the neighborhood started to turn. So we got her a
- 4:37Speaker 2: dog that was vicious named Bing. And then she came
- 4:41Speaker 2: to live with us. So Bing came to our house.
- 4:44Speaker 2: The vicious dog was in our house for a while.
- 4:47Speaker 2: But for some reason, the dog, I could tame the
- 4:50Speaker 2: vicious dog because I was like three. And the dog
- 4:53Speaker 2: would come up and growl at me, and I'd be
- 4:55Speaker 2: ready for it, and I'd have toothpaste, and I'd rub
- 4:57Speaker 2: it in his mouth. And he'd start sneezing and go away.
- 5:01Speaker 2: So that was the first dog. Then we had another Bing.
- 5:04Speaker 2: And then since then, I've had dogs, geez, everywhere I went,
- 5:10Speaker 2: everywhere I went.
- 5:11Speaker 1: I love having a dog.
- 5:13Speaker 2: I love having a dog for a lot of reasons,
- 5:15Speaker 2: not just companionship, but it's smart to have one. especially
- 5:20Speaker 2: if you're going to be away from your apartment or
- 5:23Speaker 2: your home because it is the best security system you
- 5:27Speaker 2: can get.
- 5:28Speaker 1: And I'm sure it was good as deer radar, keeping
- 5:31Speaker 1: the deer away, right? Oh, my God.
- 5:35Speaker 2: Thanks for saying that. I forgot all about that. Now
- 5:38Speaker 2: we're definitely going to get a dog. I can promise
- 5:41Speaker 2: you we will get a dog because I forgot all
- 5:44Speaker 2: about that. When I tell Dawn, if we get a dog,
- 5:47Speaker 2: there'll be no more deer in our yard.
- 5:49Speaker 1: We'll get one tomorrow. But that was a result of
- 5:52Speaker 1: having lost and continuing to mourn the last dog you had,
- 5:56Speaker 1: which was Buddy. You've had a series of dogs called Buddy, right?
- 5:59Speaker 1: Buddy 1, Buddy 2. What was this, based on the
- 6:02Speaker 1: coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, Buddy Ryan?
- 6:04Speaker 2: Buddy Ryan, no, no, no. The shame of it is
- 6:07Speaker 2: I call my kids Buddy as a nickname, too. So
- 6:10Speaker 2: nobody knows who I'm talking to all the time. But, no,
- 6:14Speaker 2: we've had three German Shepherds. We had a purebred white
- 6:18Speaker 2: German Shepherd. Then we had a police dog. That lasted
- 6:21Speaker 2: like a week because he ran away. And then we
- 6:24Speaker 2: had another one that was a mix between a white
- 6:26Speaker 2: lab and a white German shepherd. Unbelievable dogs. Loved every
- 6:31Speaker 2: one of those dogs. But when the last one died,
- 6:34Speaker 2: Dawn said, I don't know if I could take another
- 6:36Speaker 2: one dying.
- 6:37Speaker 1: I can't. It hit her really hard. A lot of
- 6:40Speaker 1: people are like that. You know, when they lose a
- 6:43Speaker 1: cherished member of their family, because that's what Buddy was
- 6:46Speaker 1: to you. They find it. They know, well, we could
- 6:49Speaker 1: get another dog, but nobody's going to replace Buddy. And
- 6:52Speaker 1: it would remind you of Buddy. But now, deer radar.
- 6:58Speaker 2: Well, aside from that, that's going to make certain. Seal
- 7:01Speaker 2: the deal. That's going to close the deal, yeah. Because
- 7:05Speaker 2: she came to me about a week ago and said,
- 7:07Speaker 2: you know, I think I'm ready to get another dog.
- 7:10Speaker 1: I think I'm ready.
- 7:10Speaker 2: So it sounds like that's going to make it happen.
- 7:13Speaker 2: Wait till I tell her that. Thank you.
- 7:14Speaker 1: This will be good. Anyway, if you have any talkbacks
- 7:18Speaker 1: on this subject, especially in light of the North Shore
- 7:21Speaker 1: Animal League having the giveaway of puppies, especially that they've
- 7:26Speaker 1: just rescued all over the country this weekend, how can
- 7:30Speaker 1: they register for our talkback?
- 7:32Speaker 2: Oh, it's really easy. If you've loved Talkbacks before, you
- 7:36Speaker 2: probably know. But if you haven't, join in. It's a
- 7:38Speaker 2: lot of fun, and we love to hear from you.
- 7:40Speaker 2: Go to the iHeartRadio app, and you can leave us
- 7:42Speaker 2: a Talkback there. You could win a Curtis Lewin Larry
- 7:45Speaker 2: Menthe in the morning T-shirt, which is going to be
- 7:47Speaker 2: awarded every day to our favorite Talkback of the morning.
- 7:50Speaker 2: And while you're on the free iHeartRadio app, be sure
- 7:52Speaker 2: to set a preset for 710WOR. You go to the
- 7:56Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app, you look for 710WOR, and then the Talkback
- 7:59Speaker 2: feature is It's a red microphone.
- 8:01Speaker 1: You hit it.
- 8:01Speaker 2: You record what you want to say. If you don't
- 8:02Speaker 2: like it, you can record it again. Don't forget, the
- 8:05Speaker 2: best talk back of the week takes home a C-Crane radio.
- 8:08Speaker 2: You know, my mother, Francesca, no longer with us, was
- 8:11Speaker 2: terrified of dogs. And I was delivering the New York
- 8:14Speaker 2: Daily News in the morning, 168 daily.
- 8:17Speaker 1: So it took me a while. And I saw this
- 8:20Speaker 1: huge dog running around. Somebody had just dumped him. You
- 8:23Speaker 1: could tell that in the streets of Canarsie. He was
- 8:26Speaker 1: part Great Dane, part German Shepherd. I just showed you
- 8:29Speaker 1: a picture of it, Larry, with my grandfather, Fidelio Bianchino,
- 8:32Speaker 1: who loved dogs. And my mom did not want a dog.
- 8:36Speaker 1: So when I brought the dog home, she said that
- 8:38Speaker 1: no dog is going to be in my house. You
- 8:41Speaker 1: and your grandfather are going to have to build him
- 8:43Speaker 1: a dog house out in the yard. And so he
- 8:46Speaker 1: stayed in the doghouse. And obviously, nobody's coming in beyond
- 8:51Speaker 1: that fence. So my uncle comes in, my Uncle Vincenzo,
- 8:54Speaker 1: who's having an argument with my mother over something. I
- 8:57Speaker 1: forget what it was. And he's arguing and arguing in
- 9:01Speaker 1: the house. His voice is getting raised up. I wonder
- 9:04Speaker 1: what's going on. What am I going to do? I'm
- 9:06Speaker 1: just a little kid. And he goes to leave. And
- 9:09Speaker 1: the dog puts his paw right in front of his
- 9:12Speaker 1: leg and puts his mouth right on his ankle. My
- 9:17Speaker 1: cousin Vincenzo was so scared. He's saying to me, get
- 9:21Speaker 1: that dog off of me. Get that dog off of me.
- 9:23Speaker 1: And then he just ran out. Didn't come back to
- 9:26Speaker 1: bother my mom after that. And you know what my
- 9:28Speaker 1: mom said? The dog gets to stay in the house.
- 9:32Speaker 1: The dog gets to stay in the house. Oh, and
- 9:35Speaker 1: as you can see, you know what you should do, Natalie,
- 9:37Speaker 1: at some point this week? Yes, what? Because we want
- 9:39Speaker 1: to promote people going out and adopting unwanted dogs. You
- 9:43Speaker 1: should post a picture that I just showed Larry so
- 9:46Speaker 1: people can see. I was originally a dog guy growing up.
- 9:49Speaker 1: And then, Larry, if you have any pictures of you
- 9:51Speaker 1: and your dog, you should definitely post that. Just as
- 9:55Speaker 1: an encouragement to others, because there are a lot of
- 9:57Speaker 1: unwanted dogs out there who are just looking for a home.
- 10:00Speaker 1: of their own.
- 10:00Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I'll wait until we get another dog,
- 10:02Speaker 2: which I think now is going to happen soon. You
- 10:05Speaker 2: don't realize how important... I can't believe I didn't think
- 10:07Speaker 2: of that before. I cannot believe I didn't think of that.
- 10:10Speaker 2: Because you told me when they.
- 10:12Speaker 1: When we first consummated this relationship, you know, after Tom
- 10:15Speaker 1: Cuddy did the shit in March, you told me that
- 10:19Speaker 1: your wife Dawn hates the deer coming into your yard.
- 10:23Speaker 1: And we've tried everything. And eat all the flowers, eat everything.
- 10:26Speaker 1: She doesn't even want to plant anymore.
- 10:28Speaker 2: We've tried coyote urine, which smells horrible, but we had
- 10:31Speaker 2: it all over our yard. First rain, it's gone. We
- 10:35Speaker 2: tried everything. I will promise you, we will have a
- 10:40Speaker 2: dog within two weeks.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Because the dog is going to frolic in the yard,
- 10:44Speaker 1: and the deer are going to stay away.
- 10:45Speaker 2: Yeah, and even if it's a puppy, it's going to
- 10:48Speaker 2: run after the deer like it wants.
- 10:49Speaker 1: To play, and it's still going to scare them off.
- 10:52Speaker 1: You see, I did a good thing. Larry, Dawn, if
- 10:56Speaker 1: you're listening, Natalie, I did a good thing. I was
- 11:00Speaker 1: able to put the key in the door and turn it.
- 11:03Speaker 1: To give rationale to Dawn to get over her mourning
- 11:06Speaker 1: period for your previous beloved dog, Buddy. And this now
- 11:10Speaker 1: has a rational reason why you got to do that. Oh,
- 11:13Speaker 1: and she hates the deer. She hates the deer. Probably
- 11:16Speaker 1: treats deer like Agent Orange in hooves. Because people say
- 11:22Speaker 1: when the deer come on like your property, Natalie, they
- 11:25Speaker 1: just eat everything in sight.
- 11:27Speaker 2: We tried everything. My son was out with a BB
- 11:29Speaker 2: gun shooting them. And I said, what if he hit
- 11:31Speaker 2: one in the eye? And that stopped that. Then after that,
- 11:34Speaker 2: he wouldn't do it.
- 11:36Speaker 1: Oh, up next, what a great– golly, gee, golly, holly, yoski, hallelujah.
- 11:41Speaker 1: The Yankees just killed the Red Sox last night at
- 11:44Speaker 1: the stadium. Game two in the playoffs tonight, plus a
- 11:49Speaker 1: chance to see Stevie Wonder's showdown concert at Madison Square
- 11:53Speaker 1: Garden at 825. But speaking of music. Starting Monday, this Monday,
- 11:59Speaker 1: WOR has nine chances every weekday to score a grand
- 12:03Speaker 1: in your hand. You listen for the keyword every hour
- 12:07Speaker 1: from 9 a.m. till 5 p.m. Enter it on our
- 12:10Speaker 1: website and you could win a thousand bucks starting this
- 12:14Speaker 1: coming Monday.
- 12:15Speaker 2: Well, going into their first playoff game against the Red Sox,
- 12:19Speaker 2: you heard a lot of people upset.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Oh, no, we don't have Aaron Judge. We don't have
- 12:24Speaker 1: Aaron Judge.
- 12:25Speaker 2: My question is, who needs Aaron Judge when you have
- 12:28Speaker 2: Ben Rice?
- 12:31Speaker 1: He hammers this ball right center field. It is a slam!
- 12:38Speaker 1: And that wasn't all for him the night he had.
- 12:43Speaker 1: What a night for Ben Rice. Six RBIs, four hits tonight,
- 12:46Speaker 1: two homers, a single and a double. And he just
- 12:50Speaker 1: put this game out of reach.
- 12:51Speaker 2: He wasn't even the best Yankee player on the field.
- 12:55Speaker 2: That would be Cam Schlittler, who retired the first 13
- 12:59Speaker 2: batters in a row. And they were chanting not just
- 13:04Speaker 2: Cy Young. They were chanting MVP at that point. I'll
- 13:08Speaker 2: tell you what, Curtis, you've got to be happy.
- 13:09Speaker 1: Well, I'm happy because both these boys you mentioned are
- 13:13Speaker 1: from Massachusetts. Grew up in Red Sox land. So this
- 13:16Speaker 1: is like a double whammy to the Red Sox who
- 13:18Speaker 1: I hate, I loathe, I despise. And tonight, game two,
- 13:23Speaker 1: the Yanks could wipe them out. It's just a three-game set.
- 13:26Speaker 1: Max Fried, who would be Warner Wolfe's favorite pitcher, Jewish
- 13:30Speaker 1: kid from Santa Monica, California for the Yankees. Sonny Gray
- 13:34Speaker 1: was a great pitcher, except when he was with the Yankees.
- 13:37Speaker 1: He was horrible. So the Yankees are in his head.
- 13:40Speaker 1: So I think it's a pretty good prediction if you
- 13:43Speaker 1: went to Polymark. that the Yankees are going to take
- 13:46Speaker 1: this in two. And it's what I said yesterday. Remember
- 13:50Speaker 1: when Aaron Judge was ruled out because he can't even
- 13:53Speaker 1: run because of the calf injury? Go with the guys
- 13:56Speaker 1: who got you there. There's this young energy. Forget Aaron Judge.
- 14:00Speaker 1: Forget Stanton. Listen to him now. You didn't say that
- 14:04Speaker 1: a couple days ago. I said he's horrible in the playoffs.
- 14:07Speaker 1: He really is. He doesn't deliver in the playoffs. You
- 14:09Speaker 1: were worried, though. A little worried. Not really. Not really.
- 14:13Speaker 1: They got the young guns. And the other good thing
- 14:15Speaker 1: that Aaron Boone did, he looked at Chisholm at second base.
- 14:18Speaker 1: who's got attitude. He's like Reggie Jackson who can't deliver.
- 14:21Speaker 1: I mean, Reggie Jackson had attitude, but he was Mr. October. Chisholm, attitude,
- 14:26Speaker 1: can't deliver. He spreads disharmony in the clubhouse. He said,
- 14:30Speaker 1: I want to play, coach. He said, no, we're playing
- 14:33Speaker 1: Volpe at second. And man, the energy was so good
- 14:37Speaker 1: going into this playoff against the hated Red Sox. And
- 14:42Speaker 1: it was that home run, and I know, Larry, you're
- 14:44Speaker 1: licking your wounds because first game against the Atlanta Braves,
- 14:48Speaker 1: Philly in the later innings, and boom, the Atlanta Braves
- 14:51Speaker 1: hit one out of there.
- 14:52Speaker 2: I'm not holding out much hope for the Phillies, so
- 14:54Speaker 2: I'm a Yankees fan. No, no, we don't want you.
- 14:57Speaker 1: Oh, yes, you do. Oh, no, no, no.
- 14:59Speaker 2: You can't be a fair-weather fan.
- 15:01Speaker 1: You've got to be loyal to your team.
- 15:03Speaker 2: Can I tell you, I've worked in so many cities,
- 15:06Speaker 2: and I've covered them so much that I now– I
- 15:10Speaker 2: like the Cubs. I like the Yankees and the Mets.
- 15:13Speaker 1: Hell, I was good luck.
- 15:15Speaker 2: When I was here at Eyewitness News, the Mets won
- 15:18Speaker 2: the World Series and the Giants won the Super Bowl.
- 15:20Speaker 1: So you want me on your team. No. You need
- 15:23Speaker 1: me on that wall. No, I'm sorry. You're a Phillies fan.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Stay a Phillies fan. One thing that Aaron Boone, the manager,
- 15:31Speaker 1: he's missed to analytics. So Cam Schlittler threw 117 pitches. Now, normally,
- 15:37Speaker 1: Aaron Boone, it's like you're at 87, 90 pitches. He
- 15:39Speaker 1: pulls you. He let him throw 117 pitches before he
- 15:46Speaker 1: pulled them out, which is not customary for Aaron. Let's
- 15:50Speaker 1: go by the analytics boon who our own Warner Wolf
- 15:53Speaker 1: is always attacking.
- 15:54Speaker 2: But of course he did, because not one batter reached
- 15:57Speaker 2: second base. He walked one, he gave up a couple hits,
- 16:01Speaker 2: but nobody even got to second base under him. In
- 16:04Speaker 2: the old days, they would have let him throw a
- 16:06Speaker 2: complete game. But let's get to some talkbacks. Anyway, congratulations, Yankees.
- 16:11Speaker 2: I agree with you. I think this is over.
- 16:13Speaker 5: Hey, I'd like to say about adopting dogs. We rescued Moose,
- 16:18Speaker 5: a massive mix, two years ago. Great dog. People really
- 16:22Speaker 5: should look at the larger breed dogs. They get left
- 16:25Speaker 5: behind because they're so big. But they are just big mushes,
- 16:32Speaker 5: and they should really be considered. It's going to take
- 16:37Speaker 5: two to three years for you to get to know
- 16:39Speaker 5: your dog.
- 16:41Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a great talk back. I've always had
- 16:44Speaker 2: a bigger dog, and I love them.
- 16:46Speaker 1: You're right.
- 16:47Speaker 2: For your family, they are big mushes. For everybody else, well,
- 16:51Speaker 2: the neighbor said to me one time, you know how
- 16:53Speaker 2: you think Buddy's so cute? Nobody else in the neighborhood
- 16:56Speaker 2: thinks that. Here's another talk back.
- 17:00Speaker 6: Hey, you got to watch out getting a dog to
- 17:02Speaker 6: keep deer away, man. My aunt had a puppy that
- 17:05Speaker 6: befriended local deer. And all the time, that dog would
- 17:08Speaker 6: be out prancing around with the deer in the backyard.
- 17:11Speaker 2: That was the last buddy who was a big disappointment.
- 17:14Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh.
- 17:14Speaker 7: They became friends?
- 17:15Speaker 1: No, buddy.
- 17:16Speaker 2: I told you this story before. Buddy used to sit
- 17:18Speaker 2: there with the deer. They knew each other's names.
- 17:20Speaker 1: That would be my problem.
- 17:21Speaker 7: Hey.
- 17:22Speaker 6: Wait, wait.
- 17:23Speaker 1: Natalie, don't vacillate. Don't get weak. You had that little
- 17:26Speaker 1: puppy from South Carolina from the animal... North Shore Animal
- 17:31Speaker 1: League in your hands and you fell in love with
- 17:36Speaker 1: that little puppy. Don't extricate yourself. That puppy is expecting
- 17:40Speaker 1: to go home with you to New Jersey. You know that.
- 17:42Speaker 1: That bond was made yesterday here at iHeart. You were
- 17:45Speaker 1: hugging it and kissing it. It was kissing you back.
- 17:50Speaker 1: It was adorable.
- 17:51Speaker 7: Darian, do you want a dog?
- 17:52Speaker 1: I do, actually. I want a dog, but I have
- 17:54Speaker 1: three now.
- 17:55Speaker 3: My husband says if I bring one more home It's
- 17:58Speaker 3: going to be him or the dog, and I tell them,
- 17:59Speaker 3: don't tempt me.
- 18:02Speaker 1: Here's Derry Albinger now with the 630 News.
- 18:04Speaker 3: Sunny and warmer today. Clouds rolling in this afternoon. We'll
- 18:07Speaker 3: have a high of 75 degrees. You can call it
- 18:10Speaker 3: whatever you want, but if you work for the federal government...
- 18:14Speaker 3: The term is now officially superintelligence after President Trump signed
- 18:18Speaker 3: an executive order.
- 18:19Speaker 7: The order, signed Tuesday, states that going forward, all federal websites, documents,
- 18:23Speaker 7: and press releases will no longer mention AI, but only superintelligence.
- 18:28Speaker 7: Trump signed the order after a luncheon at the White
- 18:30Speaker 7: House with tech CEOs, including Elon Musk, and said super
- 18:34Speaker 7: is the best word of all, and it's the simplest,
- 18:36Speaker 7: so we're going to be naming it S.I., superintelligence. He added, quote,
- 18:41Speaker 7: we don't want to hear artificial intelligence because it's not artificial.
- 18:45Speaker 2: I'm Tammy Trujillo.
- 18:46Speaker 3: The NYPD is looking into officers' use of flock safety
- 18:50Speaker 3: data as it creates department rules for using vendors like
- 18:55Speaker 3: it which the city currently doesn't have a contract with.
- 18:58Speaker 8: That news from the department Tuesday, one day after advocacy
- 19:02Speaker 8: groups reported that two dozen NYPD officers had used Flock's
- 19:06Speaker 8: database more than 1,700 times. There will now be set
- 19:10Speaker 8: rules and guidelines for turning to any outside data company.
- 19:14Speaker 8: Those officers did not violate department rules since there were none.
- 19:18Speaker 8: While the department does not work with Flock, it does
- 19:20Speaker 8: work with a similar firm and runs its own network
- 19:23Speaker 8: of license plate readers. Andrew Whitman, WOR News.
- 19:27Speaker 3: There was supposed to be an initial public offering today
- 19:30Speaker 3: on Wall Street by smart ringmaker Ura, but it's going
- 19:33Speaker 3: to delay it for the time being. The company had
- 19:35Speaker 3: been looking to raise more than $ 2 billion and start
- 19:38Speaker 3: trading on the NASDAQ today, but now Ura says it's
- 19:41Speaker 3: going to put that IPO on hold because of uncertainty
- 19:44Speaker 3: in the market, despite what it says is strong demand
- 19:46Speaker 3: for the product. Yankees win game 1 of their AL
- 19:49Speaker 3: wildcard series against Boston. Game 2 is tonight at the stadium.
- 19:52Speaker 3: The Liberty upsets top-ranked Minnesota and moves ahead in the
- 19:56Speaker 3: WNBA playoffs. And the Rangers open their season with a
- 19:59Speaker 3: loss to Boston. The Islanders are in Toronto tonight. Next news,
- 20:02Speaker 3: 7 o'clock bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Sean Puff, Teddy Combs. It was a scene out of Goodfellas. Man,
- 20:11Speaker 1: prison is as good to him as life was on
- 20:15Speaker 1: the outside as he was looking in. We'll get into
- 20:18Speaker 1: that up next. Meantime, oh, we've just completed our 2026
- 20:23Speaker 1: iHeartRadio Music Festival that was presented by Capital One. You
- 20:28Speaker 1: can relieve all the biggest moments. Streaming on Disney Plus
- 20:32Speaker 1: and Hulu beginning tomorrow. You know, the other morning, Larry
- 20:37Speaker 1: and Natalie, when we talked about the winners of the
- 20:39Speaker 1: Video Music Awards, you notice the one thing that was missing?
- 20:45Speaker 1: They looked forward to Sean Puff, Daddy Combs after party.
- 20:49Speaker 1: Because once that clock struck 12. If you remain behind
- 20:54Speaker 1: for that after party, guess what? Hookers galore. Females, males,
- 21:00Speaker 1: baby body oil, pink cocaine, which doesn't have any cocaine
- 21:04Speaker 1: in it, the drug of your choice. And it was Caligula,
- 21:08Speaker 1: sometimes for 24 straight hours. So that's what all these trendoids, freakasoids,
- 21:14Speaker 1: and jet setters look forward to. Even if P. Diddy
- 21:17Speaker 1: didn't win any awards, didn't matter. P. Diddy was going
- 21:20Speaker 1: to throw the after party. And if you stayed after 12,
- 21:23Speaker 1: you knew exactly what was taking place. Don't act like
- 21:26Speaker 1: you didn't know. Well, guess what? That lifestyle has not changed.
- 21:30Speaker 1: We would have thought, oh, my God, he's found guilty
- 21:33Speaker 1: of basically being a pimp, of promoting prostitution. He's got
- 21:37Speaker 1: 50 months, another two years to go on a sentence.
- 21:41Speaker 1: And they sent him nearby Fort Dix, which used to
- 21:43Speaker 1: be the federal fort. But they turned it into a
- 21:47Speaker 1: federal prison, mostly if you committed political crimes, white collar
- 21:51Speaker 1: crimes or other crimes not considered a hardcore prison. Well,
- 21:56Speaker 1: it's the Sean Puff Daddy Combs prison because whatever he wants,
- 22:00Speaker 1: he gets the VIP life behind bars. He gets Chinese massages.
- 22:07Speaker 1: He gets alcohol and shares it with his Maytag prisoners,
- 22:11Speaker 1: the guys that he pays for to provide him services.
- 22:15Speaker 1: He gets the baby oil. He gets nude photos on
- 22:19Speaker 1: a cell phone that he uses 24-7 from an old
- 22:22Speaker 1: girlfriend who still has an Instagram account that he taps into.
- 22:26Speaker 1: So it's sex, sex, sex, sex, sex. They cater to
- 22:30Speaker 1: every one of his predilections. And you know what is
- 22:34Speaker 1: unsaid here is he's having sex with some of these inmates,
- 22:38Speaker 1: probably the transgenders, because this guy, his libido is out
- 22:42Speaker 1: of control. He has men, inmates who will cook and
- 22:46Speaker 1: clean for him. They call Maytags in jail. They'll make
- 22:49Speaker 1: his bed. They do his laundry. They clean the shower
- 22:54Speaker 1: before he goes in and they clean his turlet. I mean,
- 22:58Speaker 1: and you know this is going on with federal correctional officers,
- 23:03Speaker 1: all who appear to be on the take, and if
- 23:05Speaker 1: they're not on the take, they know what's going on,
- 23:07Speaker 1: but they do nothing.
- 23:08Speaker 2: Yeah, here's the interesting part. So you think to yourself, well,
- 23:11Speaker 2: how does he pay these inmates? How is that possibly happening?
- 23:15Speaker 2: And they'd be caught if he was paying the guards.
- 23:18Speaker 2: That's easy to check and easy to find out. What's
- 23:21Speaker 2: happening is that some people outside of the prison in–
- 23:25Speaker 2: The P. Diddy world are putting money into the commissary
- 23:30Speaker 2: accounts of the inmates that now serve him. So all
- 23:35Speaker 2: of these commissary accounts are all of a sudden getting
- 23:38Speaker 2: thousands of dollars, as is P. Diddy. P. Diddy's account
- 23:41Speaker 2: is well-funded. So all of the money is coming from
- 23:45Speaker 2: outside sources. So I'm not certain— I don't doubt it, though—
- 23:50Speaker 2: I'm not certain that any of these guards are on
- 23:53Speaker 2: the take, but certainly the inmates are all getting well-paid,
- 23:57Speaker 2: and they're going to have money when they come out.
- 23:59Speaker 1: It's like that famous scene in Goodfellas. Remember when Henry
- 24:04Speaker 1: Hill is going to do his time with all of
- 24:06Speaker 1: his boys from the Lucchese crime family in Brooklyn, and
- 24:09Speaker 1: there's Paul Sorvino saying, hey, don't worry about it, and
- 24:12Speaker 1: then he's cutting the onions. They got the chicken. They
- 24:15Speaker 1: got the sausage. They got steak. They're living the life.
- 24:20Speaker 1: He has cooked curry chicken, pizza, empanadas that are made
- 24:25Speaker 1: for him by his Maytags, these inmates, in a makeshift
- 24:30Speaker 1: heating element submerged in water. Whatever he wants, he gets. Now,
- 24:36Speaker 1: now that this is public, now that the media has it,
- 24:39Speaker 1: all the media has it, it's gone viral. If you're
- 24:42Speaker 1: running the Department of Corrections for the feds, You got
- 24:46Speaker 1: to immediately transfer him to a rough prison like Atlanta.
- 24:50Speaker 1: That's the oldest in the system. It's really bad. Or Marion,
- 24:53Speaker 1: where John Gotti Sr. was until he died. Or Terre Haute.
- 24:59Speaker 1: These are old, old-star prisons. Or the Supermax in Florence, Colorado.
- 25:04Speaker 1: For the worst of the worst, you never see the
- 25:06Speaker 1: light of day. It's all underground. You cannot allow him
- 25:10Speaker 1: to stay there. at Fort Dix and continue to do
- 25:13Speaker 1: his time till 2028. He has made a joke of
- 25:16Speaker 1: the federal correctional system.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be really fascinating to see what
- 25:20Speaker 2: the politics of this.
- 25:22Speaker 1: It's because you're right.
- 25:23Speaker 2: This all burst on the front pages across the country
- 25:28Speaker 2: at the exact same time. You go do a search,
- 25:31Speaker 2: go do a Google search. You'll see all of these
- 25:34Speaker 2: stories about it over and over and over again. And
- 25:37Speaker 2: so the politics of it is going to be fascinating
- 25:40Speaker 2: because everything's political now. during a midterm. So now Mikey
- 25:44Speaker 2: Sherrill probably hears about this story. Governor Mikey Sherrill hears
- 25:47Speaker 2: about the story and says, oh, thank God it's a federal.
- 25:49Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 25:49Speaker 2: Oh, thank God it's federal. And now she's going to
- 25:52Speaker 2: have a news conference or she's going to put out
- 25:53Speaker 2: a statement saying, I can't believe this is happening. Why
- 25:57Speaker 2: is the Trump administration allowing this to happen? How come
- 26:01Speaker 2: people like Tom Kane Jr. aren't out in front in
- 26:04Speaker 2: this demanding that something be done?
- 26:06Speaker 1: Well, what I would do is I would switch it
- 26:08Speaker 1: and say, look at Delaney, where they house the illegals.
- 26:12Speaker 1: They can barely have an air sandwich. They have no amenities.
- 26:17Speaker 1: And here's Sean Puff Daddy Combs at federal taxpayers' expense. Now,
- 26:20Speaker 1: she would be right about that if she used the
- 26:22Speaker 1: correlation and say, look how he's being treated like the
- 26:26Speaker 1: Prince of Bel-Air. It's it's unfathomable. Now, if you're the
- 26:31Speaker 1: head of correct or the DOJ member, DOJ is responsible
- 26:34Speaker 1: for this. The attorney general is going to have to
- 26:37Speaker 1: make some kind of statement. Remember Barr, the attorney general,
- 26:40Speaker 1: when Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide? Yeah, yeah, sure he did.
- 26:46Speaker 1: Remember Barr took control of the whole. We got to
- 26:50Speaker 1: see the attorney general on this saying, no, no, no.
- 26:52Speaker 1: There are consequences for the actions. for any of the
- 26:55Speaker 1: correctional officers involved, inmates involved, and most specifically with transferring P.
- 27:00Speaker 1: Diddy out for the rest of his sentence to a
- 27:03Speaker 1: tough jail where none of that nonsense is permitted.
- 27:06Speaker 2: We will see how much Donald Trump thinks about this
- 27:11Speaker 2: case and if he wants to get involved because you're
- 27:14Speaker 2: saying it's the Attorney General. You know Trump's going to
- 27:16Speaker 2: be asked about it. There's no question Trump's going to
- 27:20Speaker 2: be asked about it. But if he really doesn't want
- 27:23Speaker 2: to answer anything about it, He'll put Todd Blanch out.
- 27:25Speaker 2: Todd Blanch will be out first making a statement. He's
- 27:29Speaker 2: got a tablet in his jail cell. Guess what he
- 27:32Speaker 2: watches over and over on his computer that's been provided
- 27:37Speaker 2: to him? Porn?
- 27:38Speaker 8: Nope.
- 27:38Speaker 1: The Netflix documentary series done by 50 Cent about him,
- 27:43Speaker 1: Sean Combs, The Reckoning. Apparently, according to the inmates, he
- 27:48Speaker 1: watches it over and over and over, binge-watching, binge-watching, While
- 27:53Speaker 1: all of a sudden he's getting excited when he goes
- 27:56Speaker 1: onto his cell phone, to that Instagram account with his
- 27:59Speaker 1: old girlfriend. And he's getting all sexed up. Where's the
- 28:02Speaker 1: baby oil? Hey, you make it. Come over here. It's
- 28:05Speaker 1: time to service me. This is getting bad now. Please.
- 28:08Speaker 1: You know that's what's going on. It's 6.46 in the morning.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Doesn't matter. Castration is his cure. It's the only way.
- 28:15Speaker 1: It's the only way. When we come back.
- 28:18Speaker 2: Well, when Benjamin Netanyahu was here last week, he ripped.
- 28:23Speaker 2: Zoran Mamdani about how he treats Jews in this city,
- 28:27Speaker 2: and it resonated. Resonated so much that Zoran Mamdani came
- 28:31Speaker 2: out yesterday and said he's going to do something about it.
- 28:34Speaker 2: Never mentioned Netanyahu, just mentioned a plan. We'll tell you
- 28:38Speaker 2: what it is next. Benjamin Netanyahu was just here last
- 28:42Speaker 2: week at the UN and gave a speech that was tremendous.
- 28:49Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, the polls in Israel now
- 28:52Speaker 2: at the Knesset especially, showed that he may have enough
- 28:56Speaker 2: votes to stay on. And it definitely is after that speech.
- 29:00Speaker 2: But a lot of the speech, at least a third
- 29:03Speaker 2: of it, was attacking New York Mayor Zorin Mamdani. And
- 29:07Speaker 2: apparently those punches hit.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Mr.
- 29:10Speaker 9: Mamdani, since you were elected mayor of this city, many
- 29:16Speaker 9: Jews no longer feel safe in New York.
- 29:19Speaker 1: They talk to me. They tell me.
- 29:22Speaker 9: This isn't the city we remember. It changed so quickly. Now,
- 29:26Speaker 9: it's no wonder. You praise criminals convicted of supporting Hamas.
- 29:32Speaker 9: You count as friends people like Hassan Piker, who said
- 29:36Speaker 9: America deserved 9-11. America deserved 9-11.
- 29:40Speaker 6: 9-11.
- 29:41Speaker 9: Some friends you have.
- 29:42Speaker 2: It's vicious. It was a vicious speech against Mamdani. It
- 29:46Speaker 2: resonated in the Jewish community. Zoran Mamdani couldn't just sit
- 29:50Speaker 2: on his hands. So yesterday he released a 35-page report
- 29:56Speaker 2: to fight antisemitism and hate crimes in New York City.
- 30:04Speaker 10: Antisemitism is real and it is growing. Here in New
- 30:07Speaker 10: York City, while our Jewish neighbors make up only 12%
- 30:10Speaker 10: of the population, NYPD statistics show that antisemitic hate crimes
- 30:14Speaker 10: account for more than half of all confirmed hate crimes.
- 30:18Speaker 10: This is not only unacceptable, it's something we all have
- 30:20Speaker 10: an obligation to change.
- 30:22Speaker 2: Yeah, he's talked about this $ 10 million that now is
- 30:26Speaker 2: going towards hate crimes. It was already there. The $ 10
- 30:28Speaker 2: million was already there. But he also talked about now
- 30:32Speaker 2: supporting programs to celebrate Jewish traditions.
- 30:37Speaker 10: Jewish New Yorkers should feel cherished and celebrated in the
- 30:40Speaker 10: most Jewish city in America. That's why we are investing
- 30:44Speaker 10: millions in Jewish cultural centers and nonprofits.
- 30:48Speaker 1: So I don't know.
- 30:48Speaker 2: Curtis, you know the city better than I do, and
- 30:50Speaker 2: you certainly know the Jewish community very well. Is that
- 30:53Speaker 2: going to be enough after the takedown of Netanyahu?
- 30:57Speaker 1: No, they both sides love it because it gets to
- 30:59Speaker 1: distract from the real issues that we need to have
- 31:02Speaker 1: being dealt with in New York City. Jews complain yet. 30%
- 31:06Speaker 1: of them voted for Zoran Mandami, right? So it's back
- 31:09Speaker 1: and forth. Zoran loves this because he's become an international figure.
- 31:13Speaker 1: So he spent $ 6 million as part of this combat
- 31:18Speaker 1: anti-Semitism program to beef up security around synagogues and shuls. Good.
- 31:24Speaker 1: Expand educational efforts by having field trips to the Museum
- 31:28Speaker 1: of Jewish Heritage. Will the schools actually do it? Remember,
- 31:32Speaker 1: principals make that decision. Principals are independent and autonomous. They
- 31:36Speaker 1: hire teachers. They set the program. So are they actually
- 31:40Speaker 1: going to take advantage of paid-for field trips to the
- 31:43Speaker 1: Museum of Jewish Heritage? We'll find out. But it wasn't
- 31:47Speaker 1: good enough. The Anti-Defamation League said, no, but you, you're
- 31:51Speaker 1: attacking Zionism. Man, it's like if you say to a
- 31:56Speaker 1: Jewish person now, they've redefined what being an anti-Semite is.
- 32:00Speaker 1: If you happen to be Jewish, Larry, and I said,
- 32:02Speaker 1: you know, are you more supportive of Israel or the
- 32:05Speaker 1: United States? You know, what's first, America first or Israel first?
- 32:09Speaker 1: And if you say, well, you know, my heart is
- 32:11Speaker 1: in Israel, my religious convictions are in Israel. And I say, well,
- 32:14Speaker 1: that's wrong. It should be America first. Do you know,
- 32:17Speaker 1: according to the Anti-Defamation League, I'm an anti-Semite. I know,
- 32:22Speaker 1: but Zorah Mamdani's got a problem. He does have a problem.
- 32:25Speaker 2: And I'm not sure those 30% are going to be
- 32:27Speaker 2: with him anymore, but he knows he has a problem.
- 32:29Speaker 2: That's why he's doing this. But this $ 10 million, that's fregazi,
- 32:33Speaker 2: as you would say, because money's already been allocated. That
- 32:37Speaker 2: money's already been allocated. So it was already in the budget.
- 32:39Speaker 2: He's making it sound like it's brand new. And how
- 32:42Speaker 2: is that going to fight anti-Semitism that he's now going
- 32:46Speaker 2: to celebrate... cultural events in the Jewish community. He's not
- 32:52Speaker 2: doing anything to fight anti-Semitism. And regardless, forget about Israel,
- 32:57Speaker 2: forget about all of the talk around that and who's
- 33:01Speaker 2: an anti-Semite and who's pro-Israel. There is a problem in
- 33:04Speaker 2: New York City with hate crimes against Jews. We've reported
- 33:08Speaker 2: on it every single week. Something has to be done,
- 33:11Speaker 2: and it can't be just giving more money for Hanukkah.
- 33:15Speaker 1: It has to be police officers. It has to be
- 33:17Speaker 1: a crackdown. Well, Julie Menon, last time I looked, she's Jewish, right?
- 33:21Speaker 2: Man, you want to blame... How about Zul and Mamdani?
- 33:25Speaker 1: He's the mayor. Weren't they supposed to hire 500 more cops?
- 33:29Speaker 1: You will distract everything. Did Julie Menon do a pivot
- 33:34Speaker 1: and shift on that?
- 33:35Speaker 2: He is the mayor of New York City.
- 33:37Speaker 1: Blame him. She was supposed to hire 500 more cops.
- 33:41Speaker 1: He can do that. She took it out of the budget.
- 33:42Speaker 1: He said that too. He did the same thing. And
- 33:44Speaker 1: by the way. Zora and Mamdadi, stay on the topic.
- 33:47Speaker 1: If you don't think Bibi is the problem, why don't
- 33:49Speaker 1: you look at Bono? You may love this guy. Bono
- 33:51Speaker 1: did such a great song in the aftermath of October 7th,
- 33:55Speaker 1: the anniversary coming up three years since. He is now
- 33:59Speaker 1: attacking B.B. He's saying, what are you doing? We're going
- 34:03Speaker 1: to go to Bono now. Anything but not attack. Who else?
- 34:07Speaker 1: You are so disconnected with what's going on out there. Oh,
- 34:10Speaker 1: I must be. Because you listen to a few people
- 34:12Speaker 1: in the Anti-Defamation League.
- 34:13Speaker 5: No, I don't.
- 34:14Speaker 1: You know what they're urging? I didn't listen to them
- 34:16Speaker 1: at all. In the West Bank, B.B. and his staff
- 34:19Speaker 1: are urging that all Palestinians go to Ireland. That they
- 34:23Speaker 1: leave the West Bank.
- 34:25Speaker 2: And if I.
- 34:27Speaker 1: Say that's wrong, I'm an anti-Semite.
- 34:29Speaker 2: No, I would like to hear you say that this guy...
- 34:33Speaker 2: is a great salesman but an awful mayor.
