Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Glory hallioski alleluia i have one victory i can declare
- 0:06Speaker 1: right here on the most listened to morning show and
- 0:09Speaker 1: talk radio in new york city larry curtis natalie and
- 0:14Speaker 1: our magnificent listeners everywhere as much as you lampoon me
- 0:19Speaker 1: larry because i know you were basically uh having a
- 0:23Speaker 1: good belly laugh at my expense, when I held the
- 0:26Speaker 1: hand of Mayor Zoran Mondami.
- 0:28Speaker 2: Oh, no, you read that completely wrong. You read that
- 0:31Speaker 2: completely wrong. I wasn't having a belly laugh at all.
- 0:35Speaker 2: I felt good that you came out. I love that.
- 0:38Speaker 2: I love that it happened. And it explained a whole lot.
- 0:41Speaker 2: It explained it.
- 0:42Speaker 1: Well, after yesterday, between you and Jimmy Failure and so
- 0:47Speaker 1: many people making fun of me here on the floor
- 0:50Speaker 1: of iHeart.
- 0:51Speaker 3: I would never.
- 0:52Speaker 2: I would never make fun of true love. I would never,
- 0:56Speaker 2: ever make fun of it. It explains a lot. It
- 0:57Speaker 2: explains why you'll never attack them. But now I get it.
- 1:01Speaker 2: And I would do the same thing. I would do
- 1:03Speaker 2: the same thing for the one I love.
- 1:04Speaker 3: Well, Larry, put one up on the board.
- 1:07Speaker 1: As a result of my self-sacrifice in getting that vaccine
- 1:10Speaker 1: while holding hands with the mayor.
- 1:12Speaker 3: By the way, his hands were not sweaty. Everybody used
- 1:15Speaker 3: to ask me that. They were soft.
- 1:17Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:18Speaker 3: How'd they make you feel?
- 1:19Speaker 1: No calluses like mine. Yeah, he had soft hands. But
- 1:24Speaker 1: put one up in the victory chart. Yes. Remember, the
- 1:29Speaker 1: idea is to encourage people to get their flu vaccine.
- 1:35Speaker 3: Natalie, our producer... Got her flu vaccine yesterday. Thank you, Natalie.
- 1:39Speaker 3: You are so welcome. Oh, she.
- 1:42Speaker 4: I was there for my annual physical.
- 1:44Speaker 3: I had a list of vaccines.
- 1:45Speaker 1: That I needed.
- 1:46Speaker 3: Well, we'll back up for a second. So you were
- 1:47Speaker 3: there for your annual physical. You were going anyway. Well,
- 1:50Speaker 3: but I had a choice. Oh, you had a choice
- 1:52Speaker 3: to cancel or not? I had a choice of like 10. Yeah,
- 1:55Speaker 3: I did.
- 1:56Speaker 1: Yeah, but you might not get an appointment for another
- 1:59Speaker 1: six months if you cancel.
- 2:00Speaker 3: That's it.
- 2:00Speaker 4: You know, everybody always wants to cancel that appointment, but
- 2:03Speaker 4: I was like, oh gosh, I'll never get in again.
- 2:05Speaker 4: But I had a choice of about 10 different vaccines
- 2:07Speaker 4: I could take yesterday.
- 2:09Speaker 3: And I said, no, you know what? Curtis told me
- 2:11Speaker 3: I should have a flu shot. She is such a
- 2:14Speaker 3: suck up. She's an amazing suck up.
- 2:17Speaker 4: Then I thought to myself, if I do it right now,
- 2:19Speaker 4: I don't have to hold anybody's hand when I'm doing
- 2:21Speaker 4: it because I'm here all alone.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Thank you, Natalie, for that tactical air support, even if
- 2:26Speaker 1: you embellished it.
- 2:27Speaker 3: I'll tell you what. You know how she lasted this
- 2:30Speaker 3: long for so many hosts? Just there. Exactly that. I
- 2:33Speaker 3: enjoyed that embellishment.
- 2:35Speaker 1: But I just want to let everyone know the flu
- 2:38Speaker 1: goes everywhere. Uh, in Japan where I have guardian angels,
- 2:43Speaker 1: 37 straight days of rain. They never had a worse
- 2:46Speaker 1: flu season. And you know, they're, they're all masked up
- 2:48Speaker 1: all the time anyway. So they're flying back and forth.
- 2:52Speaker 1: You know, we have a open, uh, communication and travel
- 2:55Speaker 1: with the Japanese. So you better believe as they land
- 2:59Speaker 1: in America, some of that's going to spread. And the
- 3:02Speaker 1: vaccine you get this year was created for the flu
- 3:06Speaker 1: from last year.
- 3:07Speaker 3: Well, here, let me go through exactly how they do that. Okay,
- 3:10Speaker 3: very good. Doctor, doctor.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been explained to me a million times when
- 3:17Speaker 2: I go to do a story on it. What they
- 3:19Speaker 2: look at is the flu in the Southern Hemisphere because
- 3:22Speaker 2: they have an opposite flu season than we do. Whatever
- 3:26Speaker 2: flus are dominant there, that's what they make the vaccine for.
- 3:31Speaker 2: And it's usually two or three. When you get a shot,
- 3:33Speaker 2: it's for two or three strains of the vaccine. When
- 3:36Speaker 2: there's a bad flu season, like the one you're talking
- 3:39Speaker 2: about in Japan, they missed it. It's something that broke through.
- 3:43Speaker 2: They didn't get their flu vaccine for the right So
- 3:47Speaker 2: hold on.
- 3:48Speaker 1: I have Keiji Oda, my international director, coming in to
- 3:51Speaker 1: have meetings about our international chapters. He's flying in from Tokyo.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Are you trying to say everything I went through holding
- 3:59Speaker 1: the hand of the man may have been for naught?
- 4:02Speaker 2: Oh, wait a second. You love that moment. You said
- 4:06Speaker 2: you were going to faint. We'll be playing again?
- 4:08Speaker 5: No, no.
- 4:08Speaker 3: No, no.
- 4:09Speaker 2: It's fine.
- 4:09Speaker 1: All right.
- 4:10Speaker 3: You might have to.
- 4:11Speaker 6: Do it again.
- 4:11Speaker 1: But I do want to pivot and shift because yesterday
- 4:15Speaker 1: we just ran out of time. It was a great hour,
- 4:17Speaker 1: 8 to 9. With Jimmy Fallon. You know, you go
- 4:20Speaker 1: to bed with him at night, 9 to 12. You
- 4:22Speaker 1: wake up with Larry and me in the morning at 6. And, Larry,
- 4:25Speaker 1: you asked him about Americans down on college education, this
- 4:29Speaker 1: recent survey. He just brought his son up to a
- 4:33Speaker 1: SUNY college upstate New York. You've had children in college.
- 4:37Speaker 1: I have two in college right now. Right.
- 4:39Speaker 3: I have one in college. We just started to get
- 4:43Speaker 3: into it. It was so interesting. If you notice, I
- 4:46Speaker 3: shut up.
- 4:46Speaker 1: I was just listening to you and Jimmy failure, which
- 4:50Speaker 1: is something I normally don't do.
- 4:51Speaker 3: So I'd like to sort of... That's absolutely true.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Yes. It was very interesting hearing his situation, your situation,
- 5:00Speaker 1: Natalie's situation, and it really affects really most of America
- 5:05Speaker 1: now because of what seems to be the shift in
- 5:08Speaker 1: about the need to go to college, which when you
- 5:11Speaker 1: and I grew up, Larry and Natalie, we were encouraged,
- 5:14Speaker 1: got to go to college. You know, your parents, probably
- 5:16Speaker 1: high school graduates, blue collar, you got to go to college.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Now it seems like there's reverse osmosis. Yeah, I will
- 5:24Speaker 1: tell you this. There's a reverse osmosis among the young,
- 5:28Speaker 1: the ones that are going to go to college. You know,
- 5:31Speaker 1: in our generation or the generation that comes right after us,
- 5:35Speaker 1: it's still college is what you need to do.
- 5:37Speaker 2: You need to get a good job. You got to
- 5:39Speaker 2: go to college, you get a good job, you got
- 5:40Speaker 2: to get to college. So that influences the kids that
- 5:43Speaker 2: are coming up. What's really interesting and is what you're
- 5:47Speaker 2: alluding to is that now, because there is this disenchantment
- 5:52Speaker 2: on the future, a lot of it has to do
- 5:54Speaker 2: with AI. They don't think the jobs are going to
- 5:56Speaker 2: be there and they don't think that the opportunities that
- 6:01Speaker 2: their parents had will be there. And so they opt
- 6:04Speaker 2: for other things. Some of them opt for just having
- 6:07Speaker 2: fun and going and exploring and living their life and
- 6:11Speaker 2: seeing the world at the expense of their parents.
- 6:14Speaker 3: Others want to get into trade. Have you seen trade schools? Yeah.
- 6:18Speaker 2: How their attendance has gone way up. Their enrollment is
- 6:21Speaker 2: sky high. And it makes a lot of sense. You
- 6:25Speaker 2: know you have a job. That's going to pay you
- 6:27Speaker 2: six figures at a certain point in your life. And
- 6:29Speaker 2: maybe more than that, depending on if you open a company,
- 6:33Speaker 2: if you hire other people, then all of the sudden,
- 6:36Speaker 2: you know, you can be a multimillionaire.
- 6:39Speaker 3: So they see that as a more likely path for them.
- 6:42Speaker 1: You know, I had a conversation, young man who had
- 6:45Speaker 1: graduated here in the city, aviation high school, technical high school,
- 6:49Speaker 1: but high end.
- 6:50Speaker 3: If you do five.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Years, which you can do in that school in Queens,
- 6:54Speaker 1: right under the seven train, You can go right into
- 6:58Speaker 1: the field of airlines, maintenance, dealing with all the intricacies
- 7:04Speaker 1: that an airplane needs to be able to fly and
- 7:08Speaker 1: to do so safely.
- 7:09Speaker 3: You could be making $ 150, 000 with five years. at aviation
- 7:17Speaker 3: high school.
- 7:17Speaker 1: You haven't even gone on to college yet or junior college.
- 7:20Speaker 1: So you're correct. There is such a limited number of
- 7:25Speaker 1: the needed personnel and we can't really bring in foreigners
- 7:30Speaker 1: the way we used to so much is that we
- 7:34Speaker 1: don't have enough Americans who are trained to do these
- 7:36Speaker 1: jobs and they're good paying jobs too with a good career.
- 7:40Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of.
- 7:40Speaker 2: My son, my oldest son who is near 40... was
- 7:46Speaker 2: working for a high end company in San Francisco. He
- 7:48Speaker 2: got to work at home because he was working on
- 7:52Speaker 2: making all of their, their videos for them, but also
- 7:55Speaker 2: it in learning all this stuff about network security, how
- 7:59Speaker 2: to keep your network safe. If you have a business,
- 8:02Speaker 2: big company, huge company, all of a sudden they laid
- 8:05Speaker 2: all these people off because they figured out many of
- 8:08Speaker 2: the things they're already doing can be done by AI. Ah,
- 8:11Speaker 2: And so he was one of the first ones to
- 8:14Speaker 2: get hit by that. And now he's trying to rethink,
- 8:17Speaker 2: what am I going to do for a career? What
- 8:18Speaker 2: should I do now? Because what he did, that's being
- 8:22Speaker 2: replaced nationwide by AI.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. Right off the bat, you know,
- 8:27Speaker 1: I live in an apartment up west side. Locksmiths, they're
- 8:31Speaker 1: not enough. I mean, people constantly locking themselves out of
- 8:33Speaker 1: their apartment. And you know, if you call them after hours,
- 8:37Speaker 1: oh my God, it's like triple the normal amount. Plumbers.
- 8:41Speaker 7: Totally.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Electricians just go right on down the line. All the
- 8:45Speaker 1: things that our dads and our uncles grew up learning
- 8:49Speaker 1: in vocational high school and ended up doing very well
- 8:52Speaker 1: for themselves, sometimes getting a small business if they had
- 8:55Speaker 1: the desire. It's come full circle. We just don't have
- 8:59Speaker 1: enough of those skilled people. And you're not necessarily wanting
- 9:02Speaker 1: to hire an illegal alien. who was doing that work
- 9:06Speaker 1: in Calejico in Mexico, who never had an apprenticeship. You
- 9:11Speaker 1: don't know where they learned their skills. Do they know
- 9:14Speaker 1: the difference between the red wire and the blue wire?
- 9:18Speaker 1: So you are absolutely correct. But there can be a
- 9:21Speaker 1: way to conflate the two.
- 9:23Speaker 3: Yes, there can be. And he's still trying.
- 9:25Speaker 2: And in the meantime, he's got like four other jobs
- 9:28Speaker 2: that he's put together, sewed together to make a living.
- 9:31Speaker 2: But what's really fascinating is as many people that are
- 9:35Speaker 2: getting into the plumbing and the electricians and all the trades,
- 9:39Speaker 2: there's still a great need for it. I mean, have
- 9:41Speaker 2: you ever tried to hire a plumber? I mean, I'll
- 9:44Speaker 2: get to you in 10 days. No, no, there's water
- 9:47Speaker 2: all over my floor.
- 9:48Speaker 3: Can you get over here sooner?
- 9:49Speaker 1: And the next reason we have to do this is
- 9:52Speaker 1: to save the job that Natalie's daughter has because she
- 9:56Speaker 1: works in a university.
- 9:57Speaker 4: Yes, works in higher ed.
- 9:58Speaker 1: And so if all of a sudden, some of these
- 10:00Speaker 1: universities start, if not just closing, but eliminating classes and
- 10:06Speaker 1: opportunities for higher education. Natalie's daughter may be suddenly a
- 10:12Speaker 1: lifetime resident of your basement. Exactly.
- 10:15Speaker 4: She is right now, but we do let her up
- 10:20Speaker 4: on the second floor. You let her up on the
- 10:24Speaker 4: second floor to visit? What do you mean by that?
- 10:28Speaker 4: She is welcome for as long as she wants and needs.
- 10:31Speaker 4: I'm sure she would love to live somewhere else, honestly.
- 10:33Speaker 3: Yes, I can imagine. Well, I want to hear from
- 10:35Speaker 3: our listeners. How can our listeners weigh in on.
- 10:37Speaker 1: This, Larry?
- 10:38Speaker 2: Well, the same way they always can. Go to the
- 10:40Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app and leave us a talkback. You could win
- 10:43Speaker 2: a Curtis Sliwin, Larry Menti in the morning t-shirt, which
- 10:45Speaker 2: is going to be awarded every day to our favorite
- 10:48Speaker 2: talkback of the morning. And while you're on the free
- 10:50Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app, go ahead and set a preset for 710WOR.
- 10:54Speaker 2: Many of you have been doing that, and I appreciate it,
- 10:57Speaker 2: and so does Curtis. So please set your.
- 11:03Speaker 3: Whatever you do. Well, you preset it. Yeah, preset us. 710WOR.
- 11:07Speaker 2: And don't forget, the best talk back of the week
- 11:10Speaker 2: takes home AC Crane Radio. Well, we've had two very
- 11:14Speaker 2: notable passings, one an Oscar winner, one a creator of
- 11:19Speaker 2: one of the biggest songs of the 80s. We'll talk
- 11:21Speaker 2: about that when we come back. Plus, A chance to
- 11:24Speaker 2: see A Bronx Tale, the one-man show starring Chaz Palminteri
- 11:29Speaker 2: at age 25. Well, we lost a great one. One
- 11:33Speaker 2: of the everlasting stars of Hollywood, Eva St. Marie, who
- 11:39Speaker 2: had the main woman's role in two of the biggest
- 11:46Speaker 2: movies of all time. and critically acclaimed, and at the
- 11:50Speaker 2: box office, they both did great. On the Waterfront with
- 11:53Speaker 2: Marlon Brando, and then North by Northwest, the Hitchcock film
- 11:58Speaker 2: playing opposite of Cary Grant. She went on to make
- 12:03Speaker 2: dozens more movies, over a hundred movies. Her last movie
- 12:06Speaker 2: was Winter's Bones, which was back in 2014. She died
- 12:09Speaker 2: at 102. She filmed On the Waterfront. You've you'll probably
- 12:17Speaker 2: have heard in Hoboken, New Jersey, but she grew up
- 12:20Speaker 2: in Albany and in Del Mar, New York. And then
- 12:23Speaker 2: she attended the actor's studio in New York and she
- 12:26Speaker 2: performed on Broadway before she got her big role in
- 12:30Speaker 2: On the Waterfront. And then after that, a star was born.
- 12:34Speaker 2: By the way, she won an Oscar for On the
- 12:37Speaker 2: Waterfront and had one of the funniest and shortest acceptance
- 12:42Speaker 2: speeches ever.
- 12:43Speaker 5: I may have the baby right here.
- 12:47Speaker 3: She was nine months pregnant.
- 12:49Speaker 5: But I would love to thank Goliad Kazan and Sam Spiegel,
- 12:54Speaker 5: Marlon Brando, Carl Malden, Boris Kaufman, all the longshoremen.
- 12:59Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 13:01Speaker 3: And then she waddled off. She had the baby two
- 13:04Speaker 3: days later after she won the Oscar. Well, I must
- 13:07Speaker 3: just ask you, Larry. Once again, you put Newark in
- 13:11Speaker 3: the shadows.
- 13:13Speaker 1: Newark has always claimed Eva St.
- 13:15Speaker 3: Marie as their own.
- 13:17Speaker 1: And by the way, like gambling, John Gambley, who you
- 13:19Speaker 1: work with, Natalie, two Quaker parents. She went to Bowling Green,
- 13:23Speaker 1: then became an NBC page. And that's where she was
- 13:27Speaker 1: discovered and given the opportunity to act.
- 13:30Speaker 3: And wow.
- 13:30Speaker 2: She spent her old childhood in upstate New York. Was
- 13:33Speaker 2: she born in Newark? Was that why they claimed her?
- 13:36Speaker 2: Please do not take away. Jerry Lewis was from Newark.
- 13:39Speaker 2: We can go through a whole list, please.
- 13:41Speaker 3: And of course.
- 13:42Speaker 1: My favorite. Oh, I want to ask that and talk back.
- 13:46Speaker 1: Who is my favorite singer of all times? CF was
- 13:49Speaker 1: born and raised in Newark, New Jersey.
- 13:53Speaker 3: Look at this whole story here. It never mentions Newark. Ah, Natalie,
- 13:57Speaker 3: are you coming to the defense in Newark?
- 14:00Speaker 4: I did read that yesterday. I didn't know beforehand that
- 14:03Speaker 4: she was born in Newark.
- 14:05Speaker 3: Don't know how long she lived in Newark. They must
- 14:06Speaker 3: have moved quickly to Albany from there. If you went
- 14:10Speaker 3: to Catholic school in there.
- 14:11Speaker 2: By the way, we lost another star. Not as big
- 14:16Speaker 2: of a star as Eva St. Maria, but he had
- 14:18Speaker 2: some great hits there. I'll just play one of the
- 14:21Speaker 2: songs for you, and then you'll know who I'm talking about.
- 14:24Speaker 2: R & B singer Freddie Jackson has died at the
- 14:28Speaker 2: age of 70. Freddie Jackson is best known for a
- 14:31Speaker 2: string of soulful and slow jam hits in the 1980s
- 14:36Speaker 2: and 90s.
- 14:37Speaker 3: Here's another one. He definitely had a style.
- 14:46Speaker 1: Yeah, and I tell you, when you go to the clubs,
- 14:50Speaker 1: And towards the end, before they close at 4, it
- 14:54Speaker 1: would be the slow jam time. And oftentimes you would
- 14:57Speaker 1: hear a Freddie Jackson classic. You and My Lady? I mean,
- 15:03Speaker 1: a whole host of them. A whole host of them
- 15:06Speaker 1: that you looked forward to dancing at the end. In fact,
- 15:08Speaker 1: if you got lucky that night. A lot of times, yes.
- 15:12Speaker 3: You have to thank Freddie Jackson.
- 15:14Speaker 5: Exactly.
- 15:14Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 15:16Speaker 2: He died at the age of 70. The cause of
- 15:18Speaker 2: death has not been released by the family. Let's get
- 15:20Speaker 2: to your talk, Bex.
- 15:22Speaker 1: Good morning.
- 15:22Speaker 3: Okay.
- 15:24Speaker 8: Try to find a shoemaker. Try to find that man
- 15:28Speaker 8: or woman that would put a new heel on your
- 15:31Speaker 8: favorite shoes or resole your shoes because you love them
- 15:35Speaker 8: so much and they were so expensive and you don't
- 15:39Speaker 8: want to have to go buy another pair. But you
- 15:41Speaker 8: just want a sole put on.
- 15:44Speaker 1: Go ahead.
- 15:44Speaker 8: Find one. I dare you.
- 15:46Speaker 3: That's true. Every commuter used to have a shoemaker.
- 15:49Speaker 2: Anytime I'd get, like, my shoes would start to wear out,
- 15:52Speaker 2: my mom would go, no, no, no, we're not going
- 15:54Speaker 2: to buy new ones.
- 15:54Speaker 3: We'll just take that as a shoemaker. You mean your
- 15:56Speaker 3: Buster Browns with ties?
- 15:57Speaker 2: I didn't have Buster Browns, although I would have loved
- 16:00Speaker 2: to because they were so heavily advertised.
- 16:03Speaker 3: Everybody else did.
- 16:03Speaker 4: But now people are buying, you know, $ 20 shoes from China,
- 16:07Speaker 4: so they just wear them and they throw them.
- 16:08Speaker 3: Out and they buy another pair. On T-Mobile. Which is wrong.
- 16:11Speaker 4: You know, it's nice to have a good pair of something.
- 16:13Speaker 2: I'd love to hear from people with their experiences with Timu.
- 16:16Speaker 2: Mine have been nothing but horrible. Oh, yeah. I stopped
- 16:19Speaker 2: buying from him. Everything looks good, and then you get
- 16:22Speaker 2: it from China, and it's as cheap as hell.
- 16:25Speaker 3: Good morning, guys.
- 16:26Speaker 7: As you know, I'm a truck driver. There's this other
- 16:30Speaker 7: trucker here. We're owner-operators, and he's Hindi. His son just
- 16:34Speaker 7: graduated college in systems engineering. The old man asked him,
- 16:39Speaker 7: how much are you going to make your first year?
- 16:41Speaker 7: The kid said 75 to start. The old man said, nope,
- 16:45Speaker 7: bought him a truck and told him that he was
- 16:47Speaker 7: going to start him at 120. And there's a kid
- 16:49Speaker 7: driving a truck, man, fresh out of college. How do
- 16:52Speaker 7: you like that?
- 16:53Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 16:54Speaker 1: Yeah. Driving that truck, except now it costs a thousand
- 16:57Speaker 1: dollars to fill up that rig with diesel. So may
- 17:00Speaker 1: not be as lucrative as when the son decided to
- 17:04Speaker 1: opt to get into the cab with his daddy.
- 17:06Speaker 3: Now let's get the news at 6.30 with Daria Albinger. Daria.
- 17:10Speaker 9: You know, one of my friend's sons just graduated from
- 17:13Speaker 9: Fairleigh Dickinson about five years ago with a business degree,
- 17:15Speaker 9: but he worked as a plumber while he was in college.
- 17:17Speaker 3: Well, guess what he's doing now with that college degree?
- 17:20Speaker 3: He's a plumber.
- 17:21Speaker 9: He is a plumber, and he's actually taken over the business,
- 17:23Speaker 9: so there you go. Mostly sunny and a little warmer today,
- 17:27Speaker 9: high 67. Cornell has hired prosecutor Sally Yates to lead
- 17:32Speaker 9: an internal investigation into an alleged gang rape at a
- 17:35Speaker 9: campus fraternity house.
- 17:36Speaker 10: Yates, a former acting U.S. Attorney General, has been tasked
- 17:39Speaker 10: with reviewing how Cornell handled rape allegations made by a
- 17:43Speaker 10: former student known only as Jane Doe. The student alleged
- 17:46Speaker 10: that she'd been drugged and raped by several members of
- 17:49Speaker 10: the Chi Phi fraternity in 2024. The university has faced
- 17:53Speaker 10: protests and widespread criticism since the case was reopened when
- 17:56Speaker 10: Doe filed a civil lawsuit last month. Yates was appointed
- 18:00Speaker 10: deputy attorney general during the Obama administration, and she previously
- 18:04Speaker 10: led the independent investigation into allegations of abusive behavior and
- 18:08Speaker 10: sexual misconduct in women's professional soccer. Liz Warner, WOR News.
- 18:12Speaker 9: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is calling for an investigation
- 18:15Speaker 9: into President Trump's use of taxpayer dollars to pay for
- 18:18Speaker 9: government-sponsored campaign ads. They've been criticized by lawmakers from both parties,
- 18:23Speaker 9: but the White House says they're not ads. They're actually
- 18:26Speaker 9: public service announcements. The president says work on the Washington, D.C.
- 18:30Speaker 9: reflecting pool is almost done.
- 18:32Speaker 11: Trump said on Tuesday that repairs to the Lincoln Memorial
- 18:35Speaker 11: reflecting pool are close to complete and that the 2,000-foot-long
- 18:39Speaker 11: pool will be refilled this week. He also said the
- 18:42Speaker 11: reflecting pool will be about as vandal-proof as you can get.
- 18:46Speaker 3: The U.S.
- 18:46Speaker 11: Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C. determined back in July that
- 18:50Speaker 11: the damage to the pool was the result of flawed
- 18:52Speaker 11: installation by the contractor.
- 18:54Speaker 3: I'm Mark Mayfield.
- 18:55Speaker 9: Two cases of Legionnaire's disease have been confirmed on Staten
- 18:58Speaker 9: Island just days after the disease was detected in Queens.
- 19:02Speaker 9: And here's a sign of the times. The Emmys are
- 19:05Speaker 9: going to be on Prime Video starting next year. The
- 19:08Speaker 9: Television Academy and Amazon inking a six-year deal for the
- 19:10Speaker 9: rights to the ceremony. Rangers beat the Islanders.
- 19:13Speaker 3: The devil's lost.
- 19:15Speaker 9: Next news, 7 o'clock bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger
- 19:18Speaker 9: on 710WOR.
- 19:19Speaker 1: Up next, you saw that off-duty detective slashed seven times
- 19:24Speaker 1: and survived.
- 19:25Speaker 3: Well, they ID'd the thugs.
- 19:28Speaker 1: Illegal aliens from the DR that ICE was looking for
- 19:32Speaker 1: and the NYPD was told not to help.
- 19:35Speaker 3: Whoa, a big story coming up next.
- 19:39Speaker 2: I want to tell you about LifeVac. LifeVac is a
- 19:42Speaker 2: life-saving device that saves someone when they are choking. And
- 19:46Speaker 2: in the last couple of weeks, there have been three...
- 19:50Speaker 2: lives saved. A 67-year-old woman in Las Vegas saved by
- 19:54Speaker 2: a good Samaritan who had LifeVac in his car. A
- 19:58Speaker 2: 38-year-old woman in California who successfully saved herself with a
- 20:03Speaker 2: home kit of LifeVac. And a four-year-old boy in California
- 20:07Speaker 2: saved at a restaurant after choking on a pizza. When
- 20:11Speaker 2: an emergency like choking happens, seconds matter. That's why I
- 20:16Speaker 2: tell you about LifeVac. It's the first and only FDA-authorized
- 20:21Speaker 2: suction anti-choking device to be used for second-line treatment when
- 20:26Speaker 2: recommended choking protocols have been followed without success. And here's
- 20:30Speaker 2: what's remarkable. Not just those four lives this last week.
- 20:35Speaker 2: They've saved 6,537 total lives worldwide.
- 20:42Speaker 3: Think of that number.
- 20:44Speaker 2: Those are real people we're talking about, real families, real
- 20:47Speaker 2: second chances. Preparedness matters. Having the right tool nearby can
- 20:54Speaker 2: make all the difference in the world. It can be
- 20:56Speaker 2: the difference between life and death. So learn more about
- 20:59Speaker 2: LifeVac today at LifeVac.net. That's LifeVac.net. Visit LifeVac.net and see
- 21:06Speaker 2: how you can be ready when it counts.
- 21:09Speaker 3: Less than a.
- 21:09Speaker 1: Month before the midterms, and boy, I saw Republicans all
- 21:15Speaker 1: over the state of New York jumping on big stories
- 21:19Speaker 1: that involved illegal aliens committing crimes, being released by local
- 21:25Speaker 1: authorities because this is a sanctuary state, And not cooperating
- 21:29Speaker 1: with ICE who had detainers for him.
- 21:32Speaker 3: First, there was Blakeman. There was Lawler. They were talking
- 21:36Speaker 3: about upstate Putnam County Brewster.
- 21:38Speaker 1: Now get this. Here's a guy. His name is Diego
- 21:41Speaker 1: Rodriguez Ordonez. He's wanted for a series of crimes. He
- 21:45Speaker 1: had been arrested for a series of crimes. Total illegal alien.
- 21:50Speaker 1: In one day alone, he commits two serious crimes. So
- 21:54Speaker 1: he robs a Kent convenience store and assaults the clerk.
- 21:58Speaker 3: That was last Wednesday. He's released.
- 22:02Speaker 1: They put an ankle bracelet on him saying he's under
- 22:04Speaker 1: supervised release. They never inform ICE because they have a
- 22:07Speaker 1: detainee for him. He's arrested that same night for forcibly
- 22:11Speaker 1: touching a woman on a Metro North train. Finally, they
- 22:15Speaker 1: put bail into effect, $ 20, 000, and still would not contact
- 22:22Speaker 1: ICE to have him picked up.
- 22:24Speaker 3: You say to yourself, my God.
- 22:26Speaker 1: Two in one day with an ankle bracelet on, perving
- 22:29Speaker 1: on a woman at the end. That was just the
- 22:32Speaker 1: start of a very hectic day for those who believe
- 22:36Speaker 1: in law and order. Because, you know, that police officer
- 22:40Speaker 1: was off-duty up in the Bronx, 44th Precinct, Mercedes.
- 22:43Speaker 3: He's been honored.
- 22:45Speaker 1: He was up in the Norwood section of the Bronx,
- 22:48Speaker 1: 208th Street, and he was going into the back of
- 22:51Speaker 1: his car.
- 22:51Speaker 3: He was off-duty. and was going into the trunk.
- 22:54Speaker 1: And two guys, not on a motorbike or an e-bike,
- 22:58Speaker 1: they were on a mountain bike, which meant they could
- 23:00Speaker 1: be like stealth, snuck up to him. Two illegal aliens
- 23:04Speaker 1: from the DR had a long track record of arrests.
- 23:08Speaker 1: And again, ICE was looking for them. No cooperation from
- 23:11Speaker 1: the NYPD. They sneak up to him. They see he's
- 23:14Speaker 1: wearing gold chains. So they immediately confront him. He confronts
- 23:19Speaker 1: him back, doesn't give him the gold chain. They slice
- 23:22Speaker 1: him up seven times.
- 23:24Speaker 3: He's bleeding everywhere.
- 23:25Speaker 1: He's lucky to have survived. He went to Jacoby Hospital
- 23:29Speaker 1: and was released yesterday. Heroes welcome. All the cops were there,
- 23:32Speaker 1: you know. the PBA, all the unions to lend him support.
- 23:37Speaker 1: And then they released the photos of these two guys
- 23:40Speaker 1: who were so brazen they didn't even wear masks. You know,
- 23:42Speaker 1: they're on that mountain bike. They're basically looking up at
- 23:45Speaker 1: the camera. Let me give you a little bit of
- 23:47Speaker 1: an idea of who these enemies of society are. First
- 23:51Speaker 1: guy is Caraballo. He's the guy on the back, no shirt.
- 23:56Speaker 1: October 26, he gets busted with a gun and ammunition.
- 24:00Speaker 1: Bale was asked for a Bronx TA 30,000. Judge released
- 24:04Speaker 1: him without bail, supervised release. He went out, he did
- 24:08Speaker 1: it again, July 10th. He pulls a knife on a
- 24:10Speaker 1: guy and says, today is your last day, he tells
- 24:13Speaker 1: him in Spanish. He's arrested, weapons possession, menacing. The ICE
- 24:19Speaker 1: agents are looking for this.
- 24:20Speaker 3: Guy, right?
- 24:21Speaker 1: And the cops know it, NYPD. Now, normally the cops
- 24:24Speaker 1: would help, but they're restricted. This time he's released on
- 24:28Speaker 1: Cuomo's no cash bill. You say to yourself, this is
- 24:32Speaker 1: just one guy.
- 24:34Speaker 3: Of the two.
- 24:34Speaker 1: And the other guy, the guy was actually in the
- 24:37Speaker 1: front of the bicycle pedaling, is Mejia. He snuck through Arizona,
- 24:43Speaker 1: detained by border agents, but then allowed to go through
- 24:46Speaker 1: under Biden. December of 2024, he's busted. Possession of burglar tools.
- 24:51Speaker 1: He's breaking into cars. ICE had issued a retainer for him.
- 24:55Speaker 1: NYPD was aware of it, not permitted to cooperate. Then
- 24:59Speaker 1: in May of 2025, a federal judge signs a deportation
- 25:03Speaker 1: order for him. And in October, he's busted for weapons
- 25:07Speaker 1: possession and declined. The NYPD declined. You're acting like you're shocked.
- 25:12Speaker 3: No, not shocked.
- 25:13Speaker 2: No, you shouldn't be. This happens every single day in
- 25:16Speaker 2: this country. It's still happening. And the whole reason that
- 25:20Speaker 2: the crime rate is down, Jessica Tisch got up and
- 25:24Speaker 2: took credit for that. They took credit for it in St.
- 25:27Speaker 5: Louis.
- 25:27Speaker 3: They're taking credit for it in Denver. That's all Donald Trump.
- 25:31Speaker 3: All of it is Donald Trump. The fact that the
- 25:34Speaker 3: crime rate is going down is that he's rounding up
- 25:37Speaker 3: all of the people that you're talking about because they
- 25:41Speaker 3: are many.
- 25:42Speaker 2: They are plentiful. They're all across the country and they
- 25:45Speaker 2: are still committing crimes. And listen, for the last time,
- 25:48Speaker 2: and I want to keep saying this over and over again,
- 25:50Speaker 2: because I've.
- 25:51Speaker 3: Heard it now come up on the campaign trail.
- 25:53Speaker 5: Oh, no.
- 25:55Speaker 3: People that are here illegally commit less crimes than U.S.
- 25:58Speaker 3: citizens per capita.
- 26:00Speaker 2: That's BS. You know why that happens? It's because they
- 26:06Speaker 2: are not allowed in all of the sanctuary cities and
- 26:09Speaker 2: states to report their immigration status to the FBI. And
- 26:15Speaker 2: so it looks like the numbers are down a little bit.
- 26:19Speaker 2: It looks like there are less crimes committed by those
- 26:23Speaker 2: who are here illegally than the rest of the citizens.
- 26:26Speaker 2: It's absolutely a lie. And that's what sanctuary cities do.
- 26:31Speaker 2: But I am so sick. of hearing from now candidates
- 26:38Speaker 2: running for the Democratic Party who are saying that they're
- 26:41Speaker 2: going to find legal status for everyone in this country,
- 26:46Speaker 2: a path to legal status for everyone that is here illegally,
- 26:51Speaker 2: because these crimes are going to keep happening over and
- 26:54Speaker 2: over and over again. And we're not going to know
- 26:57Speaker 2: about it because they can't say what their legal status
- 27:02Speaker 2: is in most of the sanctuary cities.
- 27:05Speaker 3: And then they won't hand them over to ICE.
- 27:07Speaker 2: This is insanity. And so I want you to remember this.
- 27:10Speaker 2: If you don't remember anything else, remember what it was
- 27:13Speaker 2: like under Biden. Remember how much we suffered. Remember the
- 27:17Speaker 2: fraud that was happening. That was caused because of that.
- 27:21Speaker 2: And then remember the death and the people that are
- 27:24Speaker 2: still mourning someone that died because Joe Biden let anybody
- 27:29Speaker 2: into this country. And now you have a man who
- 27:32Speaker 2: is trying to fix that and is actually lowering the
- 27:35Speaker 2: crime rate across the country. And you're upset about gas prices.
- 27:39Speaker 2: That's what you're going to vote on. You forget how
- 27:42Speaker 2: everything else is a mess? That's how you're going to vote? Larry,
- 27:48Speaker 2: it's not even on the radar scale. That's what I'm
- 27:51Speaker 2: trying to tell people. I understand that. I'm not disagreeing
- 27:53Speaker 2: with you. But you know how an election cycle goes.
- 27:56Speaker 2: It's affordability, cost of living.
- 27:58Speaker 3: And the war in Iran. Those are the three big issues.
- 28:00Speaker 3: It's crazy. It's not for me.
- 28:02Speaker 2: The Democrats are telling you what they're going to do.
- 28:06Speaker 2: They're already saying it publicly. We're going to make everybody legal.
- 28:10Speaker 2: And they're still going to get voted for when you
- 28:12Speaker 2: tell a story like that? Yep.
- 28:13Speaker 3: It's insane. In New York. In New York City. Look,
- 28:16Speaker 3: just last year, I'll give you the final stat. Last year.
- 28:19Speaker 1: New York City released 7,000 illegals despite them having committed
- 28:25Speaker 1: crimes and ICE requesting a detainer. That doesn't mean ICE
- 28:28Speaker 1: picks them up in the street, so knocks on their door,
- 28:31Speaker 1: goes to where they're working. They're just going to go
- 28:34Speaker 1: to where they're being detained and pick them up. And
- 28:36Speaker 1: the NYPD has been told, because this is a sanctuary
- 28:39Speaker 1: state and city, no, don't hand them over to ICE.
- 28:42Speaker 3: And part of.
- 28:42Speaker 2: That is political, to force ICE out into the streets,
- 28:45Speaker 2: to make them look bad. When if you, in Nassau County,
- 28:49Speaker 2: talk to Bruce Blakeman about how he did it, they
- 28:52Speaker 2: didn't have any of those problems. They had none of
- 28:54Speaker 2: the problems in the communities because they were handing everybody
- 28:58Speaker 2: over in the jails like they were supposed to.
- 29:00Speaker 3: I concur. But up next.
- 29:02Speaker 1: The big talk on the internet, man, I was immersed
- 29:05Speaker 1: in that Russia and plague, bubonic plague or whatever you
- 29:11Speaker 1: call that plague. We'll give you the updated details on
- 29:14Speaker 1: that exclusively here with Curtis and Larry.
- 29:18Speaker 2: Well, there is global concern about what is going on
- 29:22Speaker 2: in Russia. And one of the biggest problems right now
- 29:24Speaker 2: is that we're not getting much information. But Russian authorities,
- 29:27Speaker 2: this is what we know, have placed over 200 people
- 29:31Speaker 2: under medical observation in quarantine in their Irkutsk region of
- 29:36Speaker 2: Siberia following the unexplained death of a recent laboratory technician
- 29:42Speaker 2: who was working on the bacteria that causes the pneumonic plague.
- 29:48Speaker 2: It was the Plague Institute of Siberia. They call it
- 29:52Speaker 2: the Anti-Plague Institute of Siberia in Irkutsk. Daria Shipolova, 28
- 29:57Speaker 2: years old, died from severe double pneumonia last week, and
- 30:03Speaker 2: they are certain, even though they're not saying this, everybody
- 30:06Speaker 2: else in the world is, except Russia, that she died
- 30:09Speaker 2: from the pneumonic plague. Apparently, she had a test tube
- 30:12Speaker 2: that broke, and that's how she came in contact with it.
- 30:16Speaker 2: So now there is concern around the world for a
- 30:18Speaker 2: couple of things. Number one, this can spread from person
- 30:23Speaker 2: to person. It's the only plague, as a matter of fact,
- 30:25Speaker 2: that can spread from person to person. fairly quickly. And
- 30:29Speaker 2: so that's some concern. But the other concern is that
- 30:35Speaker 2: they were actually working on biological weapons. So that's why
- 30:39Speaker 2: the president wants to meet with Vladimir Putin. You remember
- 30:43Speaker 2: this name. This is Dr. Shish Jha. He was big
- 30:48Speaker 2: during the COVID response, if you remember. He is a
- 30:52Speaker 2: viral disease expert.
- 30:54Speaker 6: If it was a simple, a vial broke, somebody got infected,
- 30:57Speaker 6: it would be unlikely that it would lead to a
- 31:00Speaker 6: quarantining and monitoring of 200 people. So that makes me
- 31:03Speaker 6: concerned that there might be something else happening. Obviously, we
- 31:06Speaker 6: all hope that it isn't. It's just simply a case
- 31:08Speaker 6: of pneumonic plague.
- 31:09Speaker 2: So if it was one person and one person got it,
- 31:13Speaker 2: you'd isolate them and that would be the end of it.
- 31:16Speaker 2: The fact that he's saying, and this is a viral
- 31:19Speaker 2: disease expert, that they're quarantining should cause concern to everybody.
- 31:23Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and the fact is, it's Russia. Just like
- 31:26Speaker 1: with COVID, it was Dread China, where no information came out.
- 31:31Speaker 1: So we don't trust the Russians or Putin. And I mean,
- 31:35Speaker 1: I was scrolling last night. I couldn't stop scrolling. All
- 31:39Speaker 1: the so-called self-appointed doctor experts. Now this guy, you just
- 31:43Speaker 1: played legitimate. Oh, pneumonic plague, 100 times more lethal than COVID.
- 31:49Speaker 1: 2,000 people are now in quarantine. You know, if it's
- 31:53Speaker 1: genetically modified to resist even the strongest antibiotics, it will spread.
- 32:00Speaker 1: Did they stop running the Trans-Siberian Railroad, the Express, and
- 32:05Speaker 1: ban all flights going in and out of Siberia? And
- 32:08Speaker 1: then they attached it to what we know Fauci was
- 32:11Speaker 1: involved in, gain-of-function research. So was it the Kremlin? opting
- 32:18Speaker 1: to do this, as you would describe it, bio warfare,
- 32:22Speaker 1: chemical warfare testing way out in Siberia. And now they've
- 32:26Speaker 1: had a problem. So they just now they're telling their citizens,
- 32:30Speaker 1: don't spread rumors, don't spread rumors. Well, you're not giving
- 32:34Speaker 1: any facts. So if people are rumor mongers and there
- 32:37Speaker 1: are some right there in Siberia who are getting out information,
- 32:41Speaker 1: you're just on gasoline on the rumor mongering fires.
- 32:44Speaker 5: Right.
- 32:46Speaker 1: And people keep saying black plague, bubonic plague. We all
- 32:51Speaker 1: have heard about how many people died throughout Europe.
- 32:54Speaker 3: I mean, millions.
- 32:56Speaker 1: So you say to yourself, it requires explanation. Now, our
- 33:00Speaker 1: president tried to calm everybody's fears by saying, well, it's
- 33:02Speaker 1: a pneumonia of some type, but it can be treated.
- 33:06Speaker 3: You get pneumonia. That's exactly what you get from it.
- 33:09Speaker 3: That's true. Yeah.
- 33:10Speaker 2: And it can be treated. If you get it early,
- 33:13Speaker 2: you can beat it. And that's what's so bizarre, too.
- 33:17Speaker 2: And a lot of people have brought this up. If
- 33:19Speaker 2: it's so easily treated and if you get somebody when
- 33:23Speaker 2: they first show symptoms, if you get them antibiotics, it
- 33:27Speaker 2: almost always works. As a matter of fact, I'll say 100%
- 33:30Speaker 2: it works at that point. So why did this lab
- 33:34Speaker 2: worker get that?
- 33:36Speaker 1: The rumor online is that she was so embarrassed she
- 33:39Speaker 1: didn't want to tell anyone. Now, the other thing is,
- 33:43Speaker 1: we didn't even think of this. Remember, Russia is at
- 33:45Speaker 1: war with Ukraine, the war they started. And you know
- 33:48Speaker 1: how devious the Ukrainians have been with their Secret Service agents.
- 33:52Speaker 1: They've even flown drones from within Russian territory. So naturally,
- 33:57Speaker 1: there are a number of Russian experts who are saying, aha,
- 34:00Speaker 1: this is Zelensky, you see, releasing bioterrorism within our country
- 34:07Speaker 1: to try to destroy us coming from Siberia towards the
- 34:10Speaker 1: war front. Now, there were a lot of bioterror labs
- 34:14Speaker 1: in the Ukraine. So they're conflating all of that. So
- 34:18Speaker 1: Russia is not giving any clear information. Our president doesn't
- 34:23Speaker 1: have information. This is like when we were dealing with Xi.
- 34:25Speaker 1: Remember with COVID? Trump was not getting any information with
- 34:30Speaker 1: Xi at the time.
- 34:31Speaker 2: He keeps saying he's going to be meeting with Putin
- 34:34Speaker 2: and everybody then follows up with when. And he doesn't
- 34:37Speaker 2: have an answer to when. So apparently something is in
- 34:40Speaker 2: the works. Let me calm fears just a little bit.
- 34:45Speaker 2: That plague has been in this country now for the
- 34:48Speaker 2: last couple of decades. And it's only been about 110 cases.
- 34:53Speaker 2: Seven people have died, but those seven people didn't seek
- 34:57Speaker 2: treatment right away. So if you're concerned about it at
- 35:00Speaker 2: all and you're starting to feel sick, just get to
- 35:02Speaker 2: your doctor right away. There's a simple antibiotic that kills it.
- 35:06Speaker 2: So it's not like it used to be when they
- 35:07Speaker 2: didn't have anything to treat it and it spread throughout
- 35:10Speaker 2: Europe and killed all those people. No, there's treatment right now.
- 35:13Speaker 5: Dr.
- 35:14Speaker 1: Larry, you better post that on the Internet. It ain't resonating.
