Hour 2: Native New Yorkers · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The Cornell University gang rape case, alleged gang rape, seems
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to change every single day. And right now, it is
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the battle of the attorneys who keep leaking stuff out
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: to make their client look better, to make the other
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: people look worse. And it is difficult to sift through.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I just wish there was a judge in this case.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: who could now issue an order to stop some of this,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: because this is all being played out in the media,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and by the time they get to trial, I don't
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: know how they're going to find a juror who hasn't
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: heard anything about this case or hasn't formed an opinion.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: So let's just go through a few of the headlines
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: that happened over the weekend, and then Curtis and I
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: can talk about it. The Cornell University Chi Phi fraternity
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: brother who admitted that he initiated the now famous threesome,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Matthew Ingalls, is now out of the country. He is
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: originally from Dubai, so he's there. His father teaches at
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: a university there. The New York Post is the one
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: that learned this, that he is now in Dubai. So
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: if you're going to try him, you're going to have
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to extradite him, and it's going to be difficult to
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: do from Dubai. So he just got out of town.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Also more of the back and forth between Jane Doe
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and the frat brothers have come forward where she talks
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: about loving them. She says that, you know, it got
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: a little wild at the end, but nothing wrong happened.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: It is bizarre, but I guess this is common in
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: rape cases where people will go back and forth a
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: lot of times. And I'm sure that's going to come
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: up in court, but she has as many texts that
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: will hurt her case as as the ones that will
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: help her case. And I think that when it does
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: get to trial, the one that is going to stand
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: out more than anything is what she told the police. Because, Curtis,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: some of the things she said in these texts is
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: not helping her at all. Cornell, the Triple Sigma, Triple Delta,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I should say, sorority is now being sued by another
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: member of because this person says that they had an
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: open bar early that day and they sent some people
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: to other bars to have drinks when that's not supposed
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to happen at all. There's no drinking in that sorority.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: So you have somebody now suing that sorority. And just
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: to top all of this off over everything that happened
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: over the last couple of days, uh, Letitia James now
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: hit with a bar complaint for flagrant violations in the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Cornell seven case. And there is a call from the
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: organization that she must recuse herself. So I think she's
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: going to fight this, but it's so obvious right now. Any, any,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: any attorney with any kind of morals would step down
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: because it's obvious that she has put out comments in
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the past that that shows she's not objective in this
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: case and she shouldn't be handling the prosecution because she
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: can't be objective. So a lot to talk about, Curtis.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: They're just the headlines of some of the stuff that
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: happened this weekend. She's also running for re-election. There are
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of qualified men and women in the state
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: that Kathy Hochul could have assigned special prosecuting status to.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I thought it odd. Cornell's luck is dismal. You know
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: what they announced over the weekend? Cornell will be the
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: first Ivy school to offer degrees in prison. Maybe for
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: a lot of their undergraduates who get caught up in
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: this kind of criminal activity. I mean, could you have
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: announced it at any worse period? But let's go over
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: what apparently Jane Doe thought. She put her thoughts down
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: in text. She thought that the two guys that she
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: had a relationship with, Newell and Matthew Newell, that they
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: were bisexual like her. So now, does this mean when
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: they were having their threesome, that Newell and Matthew were
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: having sex with one another?
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Oh my God.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: It gets crazier, because remember, Matthew claims he passed out,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: apparently according to others he did, and he was being sodomized,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: but I think even you brought up the point. Was
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: he being sodomized by Jane Doe, or was he being
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: sodomized by Newell? This gets crazy. But then we look
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: at the timeline. Apparently, Jane Doe is at the gym
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: earlier in the day and loses her wallet. Now she's
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: really upset and she's depressed. You know what it's like.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: You lose your wallet. It's all your ID. That's everything.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: So she goes to get a little solace to the
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: sorority that she's part of, which there is, in fact,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: a house mom. By the way, Natalie, when you were
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: part of your sorority, was there a house mom? No,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: we didn't have houses.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: There were no houses on the campus I was on.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Because a house mom is an adult who's basically supposed
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: to be supervising the young ladies at this point. And
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: apparently what happened... makes the house mom even more culpable
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: than some of the other young ladies. So when Jane
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Doe comes, you know, she's upset. She's lost a wallet.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: She starts taking swigs of Tito's vodka right out of
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: the bottle. And one of the girls urged her, hey,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: slow down here. But, you know, alcohol is not supposed
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: to be served in the sorority to begin with. So
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: they don't want to take her downtown because they're going
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: to go bar hopping and they're going to be drinking
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: at bars downtown. So she's all depressed because she's left behind. Well,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: guess what the house mom does? The house mom says,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: would you like to join your friends? I'll get you
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: an Uber. And then the young lady who should not
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: have been going out bar hopping ends up joining her
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: friends at a series of bars. She's 20 years old.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: So they stamped her hand at the door that says
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: she's not eligible to get alcohol.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: And yet she's downing them. She's knocking them out. And
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: she had some earlier. I mean, she had been drinking
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: and doing drugs all day long. So I guess if
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: I was defending the young men, I'd say, how drunk
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: are you? How can you say that you said yes
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: or no? How can you say this was a rape?
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: If you were so intoxicated, you don't even remember what happened.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's a big part of this case, how
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: much she drank.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: And the other thing is, when you look, when you
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: do the deep dive in the lawsuit that brought this
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: to everybody's attention, She's suing the sorority. She's suing the
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: house mom for not stopping her. She's suing the two
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: bars that she went bar hopping to as a 20
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: year old. They knew she was a 20 year old.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: She was underage. They should not have been feeding her drinks. Remember,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I think it was Matthew who indicated she was 10
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: drinks up. before she even got to the frat.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, they had the open bar at the sorority
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: earlier on, according to the model citizen, the mom of
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the house.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Right, so she's also suing the frat. She's suing the school. Boy,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: this is a big lawsuit. And all along the way,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: although she's not taking responsibility for anything she did, it's
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: clear that there were opportunities for people to have stopped
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: her along the way. And they chose not to.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. I'll tell you what, maybe the worst thing that
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: happened to their lawsuit is the criminal case. The criminal
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: case is now going to take priority over everything. And
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the criminal case is going to be investigated by lots
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: of professionals with the state and local and the university.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: And depending on what they come up with, if any
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: of the stuff we're hearing about her is true, it
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: is going to be difficult to prosecute that case. because
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: she seemed like she was all over the place on this. Now,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: the wild card in all of this is Letitia James.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Getting Letitia James, who, as you mentioned, is running for
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: office and wants higher office, out of this case so
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: there's no politics in this at all would be paramount.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: But once she's out of the case, this is not
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: an open and shut case in a criminal court. And
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: if it's not an open and shut case in a
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: criminal court, It's going to be really difficult in the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: civil court.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: And before she decides to let the frat know what
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: her intentions are, because she's mad by then, this is
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: six days later. Before that, she's communicating with Newell. She's
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: communicating with Matthew. She's basically assuaging them and saying, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: things got a little out of hand. But, you know,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: nothing criminal was done. You guys were great. You know,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I love you. Then six days later, after Newell and
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Matthew are texting back and forth with her, but also
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: meeting with their frat brothers to try to get everybody's
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: story together, she texts something very ominous. Y'all ain't my friends.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Y'all are covering your asses. And that's when all of
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: a sudden the process begins as she goes to report
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: it to the university police, who, as you have pointed out, Larry,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: took her report, but eliminated the part of the report
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: where she is now saying, I am 100% sure that
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: on that evening I was raped. And now it's just
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: a series of texts that we all get to see
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: how crazy the life was with some of these young people.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: as they were going back and forth and back and
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: forth and back and forth. And this morning when I
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: was going to get my prescription that Dr. Lederman wrote
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: for me at a Duane Reade that's 24 hours, I'm
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: walking back, right? As I'm patrolling the neighborhood, I see
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: like five undergraduates walking down the block. I guess they
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: were at a party there. One of them is wearing
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: a bright red Cornell sweatshirt, you know, with Cornell and white.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I say, you're a pretty brave guy to be wearing
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: that sweatshirt at this time, especially in this neighborhood, which
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: is a Me Too neighborhood.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: And obviously a lot of the women there would have
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: been at those demonstrations at Cornell. He didn't have much
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: to say.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: No, I can imagine. I'll tell you one last thing
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: on all of this. The criminal case is going to
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: be paramount. Everything else is going to take backseat to
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: the criminal case. And so that's why it is so
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: unbelievably important. And remember, in the background of everything is
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: a ridiculous state law, the voluntary intoxication law, where if
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: she was so drunk that she couldn't give consent— then
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: she can't claim rape. It's ridiculous. I know it sounds
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: ridiculous when I say it. Incredibly ridiculous law. But they
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: may be found not guilty, the Cornell 7, because of
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: that state law. And if they're found not guilty in
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the criminal case, the civil cases are going to be
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: very difficult for Jane Doe to prove. A lot more
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: to talk about on this. We'll keep it up all week.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: In the meantime, what about Kelly Clarkson? she slams a
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Brooklyn store publicly. We'll tell you what that's all about.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Plus a chance to see journey at eight 25. We
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: all know Kelly Clarkson, right? Kelly Clarkson, big star. She
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: was the first winner of American idol has been at
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the top of the charts many times, both for country
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: and for pop, mostly for pop. Uh, she's on the voice.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: She has her own talk show, the Kelly Clarkson show,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: which she tapes right here in New York city. And, um,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Now she is having a problem, apparently, with a novelty
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: and toy store in Brooklyn. It's called Art of Play.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: It's in Brooklyn Heights. And she was there on October 10th.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: That's when this happened. And she went in there to
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: look at some of the items. And this is what
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: she wrote afterwards on X. She wrote, just drove all
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the way to Brooklyn to check out this store I
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: thought looked really rad and had a few things in
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: mind to buy and literally was looked at as if
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I couldn't afford anything and was told we could find
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: something comparable somewhere else. Wow, dude, you're an idiot and
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: just lost a huge sale. But y'all should go check
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: out Art of Play in Brooklyn if you enjoy being
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: treated like Julia Roberts' character in Pretty Woman. For sure,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: check it out. And then she put a thumbs down.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: So the store came out and said, none of that happened.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: We are very upset that she feels that way. Certainly
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: she was able to buy anything she wanted, but the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: one thing she was looking for wasn't for sale. And
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: so we couldn't sell it to her. It's $ 15, 000 for
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: some old piece of artwork and toy that you hang
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: on the wall. And Kelly Clarkson responded, cool, cool, sure,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: it wasn't for sale. That's the narrative Art of Play
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: is going to go with. So the whole conversation we
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: had when I asked you if it was for sale,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: whilst pointing to the price tag on the wall, Singing
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Bird didn't happen as your elevator eyes looked me up
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: and down in a condescending way and saying, yes, it
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: is for sale, but it costs $ 15, 000. Perhaps you'd like
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: to look at something else. So they're denying that conversation happened.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, the store is going to do
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: really well on this because I think that people are
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: going to go to that store. Kelly Clarkson, you should
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: know better. Don't you have a publicity person to go
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: and punch down? Regardless, I mean, yes, you didn't feel
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: like you were treated well. I get that. That's fine.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: But vent to your people or don't go there anymore.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: You're never going to win in this battle.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: You left one thing out. She could have sought resources
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: that you provide as the celebrity shopper. You like to
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: shop till you drop. You could have gone in place
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: of her. You're smooth. You would have negotiated. You would
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: have come up with either a purchase or you would
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: have just told Kelly, not really, not really ready for
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: your purchase.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I'll be your celebrity shopper.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Why the hell is she going into this little store
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: and making such a big deal out of something where
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I am going to actually take this side? of the
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: owners and operators of that store.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know what they did or what they
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: made her feel like. And I don't know if they
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: were condescending at all, but who cares? Who cares? Walk
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: out of the store or just roll your eyes or
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: tell them you're Kelly Clarkson. And then they would have
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: changed completely, but to run the social media, this is a,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: And she's not even of that generation. This is a
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: whole generation that they don't say what they mean.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: They just run the social media. You like her, don't you, Natalie?
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: You like Kelly Clarkson. I don't have any opinion of
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Kelly Clarkson, honestly.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I've always liked her. I think she's funny. I think
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: she's quick-witted. I'm surprised at this. I'm really kind of
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: shocked at this.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: I do feel for the store because how can a
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: small business– ever fight against this they they were getting
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: negative reviews on their you know google searches just because
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: people were doing it they probably have never been in
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: the store they've put out a couple of statements on
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: instagram saying they did try to tell her that there
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: were other options.
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: Meaning there was a twin of this.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Molly they were willing to sell you know they so
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: who knows who's right but You know this poor business.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: But she should never punch down. That's the big thing.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: It's a bad look no matter what.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: She has earned the title of diva. Now, Mariah Carey
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: is the diva of all divas. But you got to
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: put Kelly Clarkson right on up here.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: No, I agree with you.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: I'm Kelly Clarkson.
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: Roll over.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: I want that on the wall. I don't care. It
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: should go to me.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Well, we don't know what happened. We don't know if
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: she was treated that way, but you're right, though. Even
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: if she was, realize who you are and just let
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: it roll off your shoulders. I can't believe she's still
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: that sensitive after all this time. Let's get the news
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: now at 7.30 with Daria Albinger.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Morning, guys.
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: Showers ending, becoming mostly sunny later today with a high
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: of 71 degrees. Well, your kids probably have the day off,
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: and you may have it off, too. This is Columbus
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: Day and Indigenous Peoples Day. The big Columbus Day parade
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: steps off along Fifth Avenue. Later today, Mayor Mamdani will
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: not take part, but Governor Hochul will, and Indigenous Peoples
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: Day celebrations will continue on Randall's Island. There's another manhole
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: spelunking incident in Manhattan.
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: Sewer climbers were spotted just before 1 a.m. in Manhattan's
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: Hamilton Heights, descending into a manhole on West 141st Street
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: between Amsterdam and Broadway. Police think these so-called mole people
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: are looking for valuables washed away in storm drains and sewers.
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: Last Friday, five of them, including a woman, were seen
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: emerging from a manhole in East 82nd Street near First Avenue.
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: No arrests yet in either case. But last month, cops
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: nabbed two men in an East 61st Street sewer.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: While the U.N.
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: General Assembly was in town. The pair charged with conspiracy
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: and trespassing. Sarah Lee Kessler, WOR News.
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: We're drawing out after what was left of Hurricane Isaias
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: swamped the area yesterday. Some places got up to two
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: and a half inches of rain. A deal to allow
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: Russian diesel into U.S. and global markets is getting pushback
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: from members of both parties. President Trump says the initial
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: 300,000 tons that will be released with more to follow
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: will bring prices down. But critics say it gives Vladimir
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: Putin a financial lifeline and it undermines U.S.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Sanctions.
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: A surprise announcement from Pope Leo. He's going to have
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: surgery to remove a nodule on his lung that was
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: found during routine checkup.
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: There are encouraging signs. The first American pontiff saying the
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: abnormality is in A very initial phase and well localized.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: Doctors plan to remove it in the coming days and
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: tests will then determine whether the nodule is benign or cancerous.
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: The Vatican's telling us he's expected to spend about a
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: week in the hospital. Maggie Rudley, ABC News, London.
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: The Jets and the Rangers win. The Giants game with
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: Washington ended in a tie. Next news, 8 o'clock bulletins
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Well, when we come back, the great Warner Wolf has
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: a lot to say about the Jets and the Giants.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: We'll talk to the great one when we come right back.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, what a weekend of NFL action. And who better
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: than Warner Wolf to kick it off with the Giants game,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: a tie, a tie. Break it down for us, Warner.
• 19:36
  Speaker 9: All right, Gers, here we go. Well, I'll tell you what,
• 19:39
  Speaker 9: no one can accuse the Giants of being boring. For
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: the third straight week, they go down to the finish.
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: Instead of a possible 0-3, they are 2-0. 2-0 and
• 19:51
  Speaker 9: a tie. And what in the world was Jalen Daniels thinking?
• 19:55
  Speaker 9: 12 seconds left in overtime. Washington has the ball second
• 20:01
  Speaker 9: down of the Giants 24. So obviously, he is told
• 20:06
  Speaker 9: by the coach to either spike the ball or throw
• 20:09
  Speaker 9: it out of bounds. Instead, he runs around, he's tackled,
• 20:15
  Speaker 9: time runs out before Washington can attempt a game-winning 42-yard
• 20:20
  Speaker 9: field goal. And he did blame himself, Daniels, after the game.
• 20:25
  Speaker 9: And I'll tell you who you can't blame is Jameis Winston,
• 20:29
  Speaker 9: who lives for at least another week before we see
• 20:33
  Speaker 9: Jonathan James, J.J. McCarthy, Winston, 326 yards passing and three
• 20:39
  Speaker 9: touchdowns and no interceptions. Man, he's looking good. As far
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: as the Jets go, you know the old saying, I'd
• 20:49
  Speaker 9: rather be lucky than good? Oh, man. Without the Jets
• 20:53
  Speaker 9: recovering of the Browns' muffed pun attempt in the fourth quarter,
• 20:58
  Speaker 9: you know it's possible the Jets lose 12-10 rather than
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: winning 17-12. It's also a good thing. They were playing
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: against Deshaun Watson, who had just 18 completions for only
• 21:12
  Speaker 9: 155 yards, and he was sacked eight times by the Jets' defense. Oh, Larry,
• 21:20
  Speaker 9: this could be the end of your two-and-three Eagles coach,
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: Nick Sirianni, who with eight seconds left and a 17-16 lead,
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: chose to kick off long downfield rather than kick the
• 21:34
  Speaker 9: ball out of bounds. Instead, the Jags got a 53-yard
• 21:39
  Speaker 9: kickoff return, and they kicked the winning field goal 57
• 21:44
  Speaker 9: yards with one second left. I think Sirianni could be
• 21:48
  Speaker 9: gone this week.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: I do, too. And somebody said if they would have
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: allowed the guy to run five more yards, it would
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: have been over. One second left when he hit the ground.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: One second left.
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: That's right. Yeah. By the way, you were talking about Mike.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: One quick question. Back to the Giants with Cam Scataboo.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: He's fumbled.
• 22:09
  Speaker 10: Scataboo, yeah.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, every game. You know what coaches used to make
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: you do if you kept fumbling? They did it to
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Tiki Barber. You got to carry the football around all
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: week wherever you go.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: All week.
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: Lombardi did that, too, with Green Bay and Washington. Absolutely.
• 22:26
  Speaker 9: By the way, when he was coach of the Redskins, Lombardi–
• 22:31
  Speaker 9: Larry Brown, who won the Russian title, he noticed in
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: practice that Brown was a second off after the snap,
• 22:40
  Speaker 9: and he checked his hearing, and he noticed that he
• 22:43
  Speaker 9: was hard of hearing, so he gave him a little
• 22:46
  Speaker 9: special thing in his ear.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I could use that. I could certainly use that,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Warner Wolf.
• 22:54
  Speaker 9: You know, you talked about Mike Ditka. who really revolutionized
• 23:00
  Speaker 9: the role of a tight end as a pass catcher.
• 23:03
  Speaker 9: Before that, the tight end was a blocker. Except there
• 23:07
  Speaker 9: was one guy before him, and that was John Mackey
• 23:10
  Speaker 9: of the Baltimore Colts. And then came Ditka, who did
• 23:14
  Speaker 9: the same. Hey, how about the two-faced phonies of the week?
• 23:19
  Speaker 9: The NFL Code Commission, who fined two Bronco players $ 15, 000
• 23:24
  Speaker 9: each for for imitating a dice roll when celebrating a
• 23:31
  Speaker 9: successful two-point conversion. A dice roll? Who are you kidding?
• 23:36
  Speaker 9: The NFL advertises on gambling outlets everywhere, and they even
• 23:41
  Speaker 9: broadcast their partners with draft kings and fan duels. Man,
• 23:46
  Speaker 9: talk about a bunch of phonies. Should Aaron Boone be
• 23:50
  Speaker 9: invited back as Yankee manager?
• 23:52
  Speaker 10: No.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: No. Get him out of here.
• 23:54
  Speaker 10: I agree.
• 23:55
  Speaker 9: No, get him out. He's a robot manager. He took
• 23:59
  Speaker 9: out his starting pitchers way too soon all season based
• 24:03
  Speaker 9: on analytics and pitch counts. My estimation, he cost the
• 24:08
  Speaker 9: Yankees at least five, six, maybe seven games by doing that.
• 24:13
  Speaker 9: And keep in mind, he lost to the first place
• 24:15
  Speaker 9: Rays by five games, which cost them a buy and
• 24:19
  Speaker 9: home field advantage in the playoffs. By the way, the
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: combined payrolls of three of the four remaining playoff teams
• 24:26
  Speaker 9: still alive, Brewers, Rays, and Cleveland, they don't even come
• 24:32
  Speaker 9: close to the Mets' payroll of $ 358 million and the Yanks'
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: $ 342 million. What does that tell you?
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're three of the lowest in the league, right?
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Aren't they three of the bottom five?
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah. So, I'll tell you, man.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: That's amazing.
• 24:50
  Speaker 9: And, uh, Talk about passing the buck. The woeful Mets
• 24:55
  Speaker 9: fired their batting practice pitcher, their quality insurance coach, and
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: their major league hitting coach. Come on! Look in the mirror!
• 25:05
  Speaker 9: They weren't the ones who let Pete Alonzo, Brandon Nimmo,
• 25:09
  Speaker 9: Freddy Peralta, and Edwin Diaz go. What a sorry organization.
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: And the pool of the week goes to President Trump
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: for announcing... He would give steroid cheater Roger Clemens the
• 25:24
  Speaker 9: Presidential Medal of Freedom Award. Come on, Mr. President. Why
• 25:30
  Speaker 9: don't you also give one to Barry Bonds or Mark
• 25:34
  Speaker 9: McGuire or Rafael Primero? Why do you think Clemens is
• 25:38
  Speaker 9: not in the Hall of Fame? Because he cheated. That's why.
• 25:42
  Speaker 9: How many batters, I'm thinking, did Clemens make look bad
• 25:47
  Speaker 9: enough who were perhaps eventually sent down to the minors
• 25:51
  Speaker 9: or maybe had their careers ended because they couldn't hit
• 25:55
  Speaker 9: the cheating Clemens. Well, you know, you say it, Curtis, disgracia.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Disgracia. But, you know, Manny Ramirez, who used steroids, had
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: to use so much estrogen to cover up the steroids
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: when he was a Dodger, and he wants to make
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: a comeback.
• 26:14
  Speaker 9: Yeah, he does. First of all, he was suspended 50
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: games for steroid use, then 100 games. But he abruptly
• 26:24
  Speaker 9: retired before he faced the suspension. As you say, he
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: wants to return to baseball as a hitting coach. Man,
• 26:31
  Speaker 9: I can see it now. Romero's addressing his new team.
• 26:36
  Speaker 9: Gather around, fellas. Here's how you inject the steroids in
• 26:40
  Speaker 9: trying not to get caught. And finally, here's the stooge
• 26:46
  Speaker 9: of the week. This goes to New York Times writer
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: Nicholas Kristof, whose headline said.
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: The U.N.
• 26:55
  Speaker 9: Is terrible, but we need them. Who needs them? For what?
• 26:59
  Speaker 9: The U.N. has outlived their usefulness and biased anti-Semitism decisions
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: for years. All they do now is take up parking
• 27:08
  Speaker 9: spaces and cause gridlock. If they moved out of New York,
• 27:12
  Speaker 9: I don't think anyone would miss them.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: That'd be a celebration. Very well said. Thanks a lot,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Warner Wolf. When we come back, Natalie Migliore went out
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: to talk to people about what makes, oh, this is
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: going to be great, what makes a New Yorker a
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: New Yorker. That's next.
• 27:31
  Speaker 11: Now, it's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Up from the streets to the suites with a simple
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: question for everyone down there. Are you a Fugazi or
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: are you a real New Yorker? Am I right or wrong?
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no.
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: I mean, that is the question. And it really starts
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: heating up as an artist who is unaffiliated with New
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: York City actually set up a website last week to
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: verify someone's authenticity online. As a New Yorker, that dropped
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: a few days before Gotham has put out an article
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: saying the hottest way to show you're an authentic New
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: Yorker is to ride a city bike. OK, so let's
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: take it to the streets. Right, because that's the real
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: source of it. To find out what locals think makes
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: a native New Yorker.
• 28:21
  Speaker 11: Being a native New Yorker is just getting up, doing
• 28:24
  Speaker 11: what you have to do.
• 28:26
  Speaker 12: I'm from Syracuse originally, so I am a native New
• 28:28
  Speaker 12: Yorker and landed down here, though, 50 years ago. So
• 28:32
  Speaker 12: what makes a native New Yorker? A willingness to put
• 28:34
  Speaker 12: up with the good and the bad.
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: They know their way around, you know.
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: Like, it's not like a place where, oh, I never
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: been there before.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: I've been everywhere.
• 28:44
  Speaker 13: I don't know how to answer that. Because my parents
• 28:47
  Speaker 13: are not from here, of course. And my siblings and I,
• 28:51
  Speaker 13: we were born and raised here. So I don't think
• 28:53
  Speaker 13: there is one definite thing that makes a New Yorker, really.
• 28:56
  Speaker 13: Or maybe that is what makes a New Yorker, the
• 28:57
  Speaker 13: fact that we are all different.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Actually, I commute from Jersey. But from what I guess
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: I have seen, it's like people don't care here. They don't.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: So I feel like that's what makes a native New Yorker.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Are you happy with those answers, Curtis, or no? No, no, no.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: I'm not happy with those answers at all. I'm sorry. Okay.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Because in my mind, you're here, you're living here, even
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: if you were birthed somewhere else, even if you spent
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: most of your time somewhere else, you're a real New Yorker.
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: Wow, that's very welcoming and inclusive for everybody. Because what
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: about all those, what about all the migrants?
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Well, if they can vote, eventually if they're made whole, right?
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: If you're a politician, you want them to vote for you, right?
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: Well, are they a New Yorker though? if they've been
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: here all this time?
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: No, of course not. See?
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: Ooh, we got it.
• 29:43
  Speaker 9: No.
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: Okay, but the debate has always been how long you've
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: had to live in New York to be considered a
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: New Yorker. So you're saying, you know, whatever. A lot
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: of people say, you've got to be native, though. So
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: a little bit differing from what Curtis is saying. And
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: as people who are born here, they know all the
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: places they don't want to go.
• 30:03
  Speaker 10: Times Square mostly around like Midtown, especially around like Fifth Avenue.
• 30:07
  Speaker 10: I like going there once in a while, but like
• 30:11
  Speaker 10: if I try, if I like don't have to go,
• 30:14
  Speaker 10: I won't go. Rockefeller Center in the winter.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: I've only ever been to the tree once. Other than that,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: everything else I watch from TV, like from home.
• 30:22
  Speaker 12: I'm not waiting in a line.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Maybe the Bronx. I can't think of any.
• 30:27
  Speaker 12: There's places I haven't been. After all these years, I'll
• 30:29
  Speaker 12: walk down the street and go... You know, I've never
• 30:32
  Speaker 12: been on the street before because New York will do
• 30:34
  Speaker 12: that to you. But purposely avoid, I just use my
• 30:37
  Speaker 12: sixth sense. And I think people who've been in New
• 30:39
  Speaker 12: York for a while use their sixth sense and they go,
• 30:41
  Speaker 12: I'm going to go here and I'm not going to
• 30:43
  Speaker 12: go here.
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I feel that, you know, as somebody who walks
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: around the streets with a microphone all the time, I
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: find myself walking down streets that I hate.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: And that I'm not familiar with.
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: I'm always finding new places. And that's actually how I
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: find new restaurants sometimes.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I got to go here.
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: You know, forget about a Google search.
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: That's how I find a new place that I want
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: to try to eat.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's old school. Yeah, it's cool. That's old school.
• 31:07
  Speaker 10: It's different.
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: But if you're coming to New York with the city
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: welcoming nearly 65 million people last year alone, which, by
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: the way, is not up to post-pandemic numbers. Still, we
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: haven't seen that rebound yet. A couple of New Yorkers
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: have some tips on what first-time visitors might want to
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: consider while they're here.
• 31:26
  Speaker 11: You know, if you do come to New York, just
• 31:29
  Speaker 11: go with the flow. You know, keep your head on
• 31:31
  Speaker 11: the swivel still. because, you know, people crazy out here also.
• 31:34
  Speaker 11: That's what you should do. Keep your head on a
• 31:36
  Speaker 11: swivel and pay attention to what's going on in your surroundings.
• 31:39
  Speaker 12: Be flexible and have a little money in your pocket.
• 31:43
  Speaker 12: It just costs a lot.
• 31:45
  Speaker 10: Don't stand in the middle of the street, especially in
• 31:47
  Speaker 10: the middle of a busy walkway like in Manhattan.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Just get out of the way.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that is.
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: What a true New Yorker would say, because that's the
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: first thing I think when I'm walking across a street
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: in New York City and there's four people along the
• 32:02
  Speaker 7: sidewalk walking in one direction, blocking all of us when
• 32:05
  Speaker 7: we're trying to get through. But look, there's no official
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: timeline like, hey, you've been here this long. You're a
• 32:10
  Speaker 7: New Yorker. The cultural benchmark to be considered from anywhere.
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: according to Reddit, is 10 years. But a lot of
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: New Yorkers who I talk to on the street say,
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: you got to be a native to be a New Yorker.
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: But not Curtis. Not today.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: No, I give everybody a pass because people say, oh,
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: you're the real New Yorker. Thank you. But let's welcome
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: everybody else, right? I'm being very welcoming today. It's Columbus Day.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be out there in the parade. The
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: mayor won't. Some other people won't. But I'll be there
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: because I am a very welcoming person.
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: Waving to all the people like royalty.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Shaking hands. Yes. Being the typical politician. Hey, I love you.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Just vote for me. Vote for me.
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: You're from New York.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Vote for me.
