  Speaker 1: Well, last night was debate night, and you yearn for
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: more afterwards, like so many other states have, Larry, as
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: we've been talking about it. Maine, they've had like five
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: debates for the Senate in nine days. Some of the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: others are like two debates. That's the mandatory. Jack Cittarelli, remember,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: against Cherelle? They had at least two debates. We only
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: get one in New York, unfortunately. And after you watched it,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: you said, wow, one more debate, and they would have
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: touched on every subject. And I think those that are
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: interested in voting would have had their buffet, would have
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: had the entree and the hors d'oeuvres to make up
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: their mind, if in fact they hadn't yet made up
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: their mind on who they want to be the next
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: governor of New York State.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder how many undecided there are. That's a
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: really interesting question. I thought that Bruce Blakeman won that
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: debate easily, easily. Kathy Hochul, right from the beginning, seemed
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: off her game. Remember this moment?
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: New York State now has the lowest crime rates it's
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: had in modern history. Now, we're not done yet, and
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: you're going to hear a lot of, well, a lot
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: of different opinions here this evening, and I want you
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: to judge it this way.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Now, I will say this.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I think she was about to curse there and say
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: a lot of BS, but the longer word for that.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: But then after that, she couldn't come up with something else.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, don't you have that early on the opening prepared?
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Don't you already know what you're going to say.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Right out of the box?
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: That was out of the box, but that wasn't the
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: only time. She did it a few times, and I'm
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: not sure who was coaching her. Because if you've noticed,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: she was downplaying everything. She was speaking in a softer voice.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: It was like she was on Xanax. She rarely got excited.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: She rarely was showing a lot of energy or any
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: energy at all. Blakeman, on the other hand, was full
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: of energy constantly.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I think you could have helped Kathy Hochul enormously. with
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: your strategy of taking 15 caffeinated cups of coffee a day,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: she was in a desperate need. You're absolutely right. She
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: needed a caffeinated coffee or a latte caffeinated. She was
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: very low energy. I don't think that was on purpose.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I really don't think that was on purpose. Then why?
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's no other reason to do it unless
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: somebody said, you know what, you don't want to be
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: too shrill. You don't want to come off too loud.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's some bad debate coaches out there.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I think it's because in her case, too much packed
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: into her head. And that's why at times, if you notice,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: she was in a void. She was like searching. It
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: almost like was a stop. And that's because they over
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: prepare you. Whereas Bruce Blakeman, I think he came out.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: He knew what he had to say. He knew he
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: was going to be wrapped in cellophane wrap with Trump.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: You know, Trump would be like an appendage to him.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: So he was prepared for that. He was calm. Unlike
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Lee Zeldin, who had only one debate against Hochul, he
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: got a little angry at Hochul. It didn't come across well.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: But he had the fact that as the governor, he
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: would get rid of Alvin Bragg, who had just been
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: elected Manhattan DA. Remember, after sworn in, he said... Half
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the rules, throw them out the door. So that was
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: a vulnerable point for Hochul. But I think Bruce Hochul,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman overall did as well as you could possibly
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: do in those circumstances.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Unbelievably well. Here's the thing, too. And I didn't notice
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: this before. I just noticed it after this debate because
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I saw Blakeman being shared on social media online.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Over and over and over and over again.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: And it was done by the RNC, all the usual suspects,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump, the New York Republicans, Blakeman's campaign. And I thought,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: maybe it's just my algorithm. Maybe I'm just getting all
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: that because of my algorithm. So I just did a
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: search now this morning. I did a search for Hochul
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: and DNC and New York Republicans, New York Democrats.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Nothing.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: There's very little on Hochul because she didn't have a highlight.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: She really didn't have a highlight. Blakeman had several. And
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: some of these that are being shared on social media,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: which I think is the most important thing right now.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: It is no longer what is broadcast. It is what
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: he shared. Some of these have hundreds of thousands. If
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: you total them all up, it's over a million, hundreds
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: of thousands of looks and likes. And so I don't know.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I don't think, you know, if I had to bet,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: if you were forcing me to bet money now, I
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: still don't think Blakeman can win just because of the
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: way the state's set up and because the oversaturation of
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Democrats in New York City. But, man, he should win.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: He is by far the better candidate.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: No, he definitely pounded her on the utility bills, which
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: she's responsible for. Everybody opens up that envelope. You remember
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: that day we were talking to Rob Astorino. He had
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: just gotten his electricity bill at the same time I
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: got mine. Our eyeballs fell out of our heads. Only 30%
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: of it was for the cost of the electricity. The
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: other 70% were all taxes, most of which were going
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: to the state. She controls that. And he pounded away
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: on that affordability, which is of key concern. The issue
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: that Hoku has been convinced is an easy pass to victory.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: is just campaign against Trump. I know.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Treat Bruce Blakeman as if he's Donald Trump. But if
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: you do it too much, and she did it way
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: too much. 44 times she mentioned it. Yeah, so if
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: you do it all the time, after a while people
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: start rolling their eyes because they go, unless you are
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: a really blue Democrat, you know what I mean? If
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: you are really into the Democratic Party, you love that stuff.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: That's red meat for you. But other people, especially any
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: of the undecideds and some of the moderates and maybe
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: even some of the Republicans that are be willing to
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: go over after a while, they're going to go. Do
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: you have anything else?
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was it. Everything was attached to Trump. Now, Blakeman,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: to his credit, only went at Zoran about six times.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: So imagine 44 times Trump. That's whole cool. Blakeman mentioned
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Zoran as the negative factor attached to Kathy Hochul six times,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: which was appropriate. And so he didn't make the whole debate, oh, well,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: you're Zoran, mini me for Zoran, whereas all Hochul kept
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: mentioning was Trump, Trump-like phrases. You're just like Trump. You
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: worship Trump. You think Trump is the greatest president who
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: ever lived in our life. It's like, enough, lady.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: Enough.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: We get it. He already said, Trump is my friend.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: We don't need anything more. We know he supports Trump
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: and Trump supports him.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Well, he didn't hide from it. He didn't hide from
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: it the entire time, which is really good. That's a
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: smart strategy. Because if you try to hide from it,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: you're on the defensive. I thought what was really interesting,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: because I thought he might stay away from this because
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: of ICE. But it was just the opposite. He went
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: really after her about all the money she spent on
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: illegals and all of the crimes that illegals have committed
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: in this state. As a matter of fact, I just
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: told you that the RNC is sharing this stuff. The
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: one that is getting the most attention, it might be
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: a little surprising to you, is this.
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: Governor Hochul, under your sanctuary policies, a 14-year-old girl was
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: raped recently here in New York State by an illegal migrant.
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: Four Irondequoit residents were killed recently by an illegal migrant.
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: Two of those victims were children under the age of five.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: Two Nassau County women in their 30s were killed by
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: an illegal migrant because of your sanctuary policies.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: I'm going to cut it off there because he goes on.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: It's amazing how long they let him go on in that.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: But then he said to her afterwards, do you apologize
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: to those families for making this a sanctuary state? And,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: you know, we talked about how low energy she was.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Her answer was abysmal.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: You know, any crime is.
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: Heartbreaking.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: There's a family left with a huge hole in their heart.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: And I abhor all crimes, regardless of the perpetrator.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: But that's not what he was saying. He was saying
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: your policies are responsible for these crimes, and you treat
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: people that are here illegally, giving them billions and billions
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: of dollars, better than you treat the people of New York.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: And she never answered that question.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Well, remember, that was the first question out of the
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: docket from the moderators, who I thought did a very
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: good job. Errol Lewis and the young lady who was
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: from the Albany Bureau said, They didn't interfere many times.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: They let them talk to one another, go at one another,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: even in the lightning round, let them go on and on,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: then yes or no. You know, sometimes the moderators try
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: to steal the show. So I thought they did a
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: very good job. They were reserved. But Kathy Hochul was
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: low-energy Kathy. There's no doubt about it. You remember Jeb Bush,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: low-energy Jeb Bush. She was low-energy Kathy Hochul. She could
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: have used a few of your cups of coffee. There's
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Or something. Shoot her up with
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: something next time. But their first question out of the
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: box was... the situation involving the illegal Dominican in Marble Hill, ICE,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: and that opened up immediately right out of the box,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: because that's when most people, if they're watching it, are
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: going to pay attention.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: That should be a slam dunk for Hochul. If she
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: wanted to go after ICE and she wanted to get
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: those constituents on her side, that should have been a
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: slam dunk. Instead, she fumbled. She sounded weak. She didn't
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: sound like a governor.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: That's for sure.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: That's not somebody you want in charge.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: But I think, again, her situation is she was riding
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: that pony up in Saratoga, the Trump pony. That was it.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Just Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. Because
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: she knows his negatives are high. So, for instance... like
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Blakeman wisely didn't say Zoran as many times as Hochul
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: said Trump. Remember, Hochul 44 times she said Trump in
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the debate. Blakeman six because he happens to be the
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: most popular Democrat in the New York State now, Zoran Mondavi.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: More popular than Donald Trump.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: When you look at the polls outside of New York City,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: New York City skews those polls so much because after
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: you said that, I started looking into it. When you
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: look at it outside of New York City, some of
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: the polls, he's under 40%. Some of the polls, he's
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: a low 40% when you go out. So he knows that.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: He knows that Mamdani is not as popular outside of
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: New York City. And I think he basically has to
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: give up on.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: New York City. It ain't going to happen. If he
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: can win Erie County, which will be tough because that's
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the second biggest block because remember, That's where Kathy Hochul
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: is from. I'm the Buffalo girl. Oh, I lived in
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: a trailer park and I worked in a pizzeria. Enough
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: of that already. If he can win Erie County, then
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: he's got a chance at an upset. That'll be a
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: tough one because that's her backyard. But he's got to
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: get at least 30, 32 percent of the vote in
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: New York City.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, if life was fair, he would
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: absolutely win it.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: And up next. You know, this is the month of
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the black cats. Nobody wants black cats because of superstition.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: They're the ones that are left in the shelters the most.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: But a missing cat was found after 571 days. Boy,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Nancy is going to go see it all.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the record is for a lost
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: pet coming home, but this has got to be close
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: to being a record. It's happened in Greenwich, Connecticut. It's
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: a cat named Turtle. I love the name.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: It's a beautiful cat, too.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: It's a black cat with longer hair that they got
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: because somebody in Tennessee was just trying to get rid
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: of the cat. And so they went and they got
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: it and they brought it to Connecticut. So obviously they're
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: animal lovers and they love cats. And the woman named
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Kelly Moore opened the door shortly after they got it.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Shortly after they got the cat, she opened her door,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: and she just opened the screen door a smidgen, and
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: it ran.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: It was gone.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: And she was sick about it because she said it
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: was absolutely her fault.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: I cried so many nights, and I felt so responsible
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: because not being aware of the storm roar, and we
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: were really brokenhearted.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you didn't hear that in the beginning, she
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: said she cried so many nights, and apparently she just
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: stayed distraught. Every once in a while, you would see
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: the cat. As a matter of fact, they went and
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: found something called Rocket Lost Pet Rescue to show up,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: and they put cameras all around the house, and the
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: cat kept coming back and just looking around the yard
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: and then taking off again. So it was unusual. Isn't
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: that kind of unusual for it to keep coming back?
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very unusual. But imagine, what was it, 571 days away. Yeah,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: that's what I was getting to. I mean, they gave
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: up on it after a while. 571 days. That's over
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: a year and a half that it was missing. So
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: they had really given up on it. And then there
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: was a, in.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Westchester County, New York, at a town in Westchester County,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: there was an ad in the paper saying, hey, I
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: found this cat. If it's yours, come get it. And
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: people that knew her story passed it on to her.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: They went down there to find it, and she had
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: a chip in the cat. And so she was able
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: to identify it, and they got their cat back after
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: 571 days. And this cat was seen in three different states.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Maybe this cat's not supposed to be domesticated, but it
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter. They're happy.
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: If this can happen, anything can happen.
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: It's so wonderful, and I'm so happy to have him back.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: She's a cat lover, you can tell. Oh, absolutely. I
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: know my wife, Nancy, who tends to feral cats outdoors,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: and obviously the cats we have indoors, going to love
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: sharing this with all of her friends. This is like,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: you would think your cat, we lost one cat in
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: all these years named Dropfoot. I actually tried to capture
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Dropfoot in a rainstorm for whatever reason. It just wanted
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: to be away. And to this day, we're both plagued
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: by that, that loss of Dropfoot.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what, if you want to see
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: this story, you can watch it on YouTube. It was
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: done by Eyewitness News. So nice job going all the
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: way up to Greenwich to get that story. Let's get
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: some talkbacks.
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: I thought Bruce won the debate last night, but I
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: really wanted him to open up the show by saying
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: the Democrats have been holding the governor's mansion for the
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: last 24 years, yet they're complaining that there are still problems. Well,
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: if they can't fix the problem in the last 24
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: years that they have been in control of the governor's mansion,
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: then it's time for a change. That's what I think
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: he should have started with.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: That's good. That is good.
• 15:39
  Speaker 9: I just wanted to comment on Larry saying you don't
• 15:42
  Speaker 9: think Blakeman can win.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: How dare you? Just stay positive for the rest of the.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Month, please.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Thank you. I said, I hope he wins. I would
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: love to see him win. I said he won the
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: debate going away and that if it was a fair world,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: he'd win. But you've got to look at reality sometimes.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: He's behind.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Let's see what the next poll says.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean, how unfair of her to say
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: that about you. You've been boasting his candidacy, and rightfully so.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: And he kept getting in. The one thing that Zeldin wasn't,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: or even Stefanik wasn't, their pro-life... Hey, I'm pro-choice. I'm
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: pro-choice because he needs more female voters. Without that, he loses.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: You're absolutely right, because it's overwhelming, the gender difference.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, I hope he won some people over. No,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, when you say, how dare you, I'm just
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: talking reality. I can't... go too far off the farm,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: off the reality farm. But listen, I'm with you. I
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: want him to win, and I will keep saying that
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: he is the best candidate. But I have to look
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: at the polls and look at past elections and look
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: at the registration in New York and face reality as well.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure he knows that. Let's get the news
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: now at 6.30 with Daria Albinger.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Daria.
• 17:04
  Speaker 10: Morning, guys. Chance for a midday or afternoon shower. We'll
• 17:07
  Speaker 10: see a high of 78 degrees. The NYPD is looking
• 17:10
  Speaker 10: for a masked suspect after an early morning attack in
• 17:13
  Speaker 10: a Manhattan subway station.
• 17:14
  Speaker 11: Cops say a 40-year-old man was stabbed multiple times at
• 17:17
  Speaker 11: the Astor Police Station just before 2.30 a.m. The victim
• 17:20
  Speaker 11: was on the northbound platform of the No. 6 train
• 17:23
  Speaker 11: at the time of the attack. He was taken to
• 17:25
  Speaker 11: Bellevue Hospital in stable condition as investigators try to figure
• 17:29
  Speaker 11: out what led up to the attack. The suspect has
• 17:31
  Speaker 11: been described as a masked man who fled the station.
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: Natalie Migliore, WOR News.
• 17:37
  Speaker 10: Immigration was a major focus of the one and only
• 17:40
  Speaker 10: debate between Governor Hochul and Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman.
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: If you cooperate with federal law enforcement, it makes for
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: a safer community.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: That's what I did.
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: Kathy Hochul has taken that ability away from us. That's
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: why things like this happen.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: He refused to condemn what ICE did. So he basically
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: says in the state of New York, he'd be fine
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: if ICE agents shoot into cars.
• 18:04
  Speaker 10: They also faced off over taxes, data centers and affordability.
• 18:08
  Speaker 10: President Trump will be out on the campaign trail again
• 18:10
  Speaker 10: today with stops in Arizona and Montana. The city council
• 18:14
  Speaker 10: is expected to vote next week to ban carriage horses
• 18:17
  Speaker 10: from Central Park. Mayor Mamdani backs the bill, which includes
• 18:20
  Speaker 10: job training for drivers who will need a new.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Source of income.
• 18:23
  Speaker 10: The Vatican says Pope Leo had a restful night at
• 18:26
  Speaker 10: Gemelli Hospital following his diagnosis of lung cancer. The 71-year-old
• 18:31
  Speaker 10: Chicago-born pontiff had surgery yesterday to remove part of his lung,
• 18:35
  Speaker 10: where a small growth was found to be malignant. And
• 18:38
  Speaker 10: North Korea is reportedly using more Americans to hack U.S.
• 18:42
  Speaker 11: Companies.
• 18:43
  Speaker 10: The Justice Department says it's made at least two dozen
• 18:45
  Speaker 10: arrests of people operating so-called laptop farms. That's where employees
• 18:49
  Speaker 10: use company-provided computers to steal sensitive data from their employer. Devils, rangers,
• 18:55
  Speaker 10: and islanders all won. Next news, 7 o'clock bulletins at once.
• 18:58
  Speaker 10: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you, Daria. The New York City Council, what frauds.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: They are outcrowing that. They're going to ban horse-drawn carriages.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: They should never have been around. Well, you're the ones
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: that let it happen year after year after year after year.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: But you know who was saying this should happen for years?
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: The man I'm sitting next to. Curtis is going to
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: talk about that when we come back.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Glory, hallelujah. When I heard the words late in the
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: morning yesterday after the show, Larry, I immediately left my
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: bag here. In the studios of the number one most
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: listened to talk radio station in New York, 710 WOR.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I don't often do that because I just wanted to
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: go into Central Park. and talk to every one of
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: the horses who are still attached to a carriage, you know,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: because they sit there very sullen, their heads are down,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: they're very depressed. And even though the horse carriage drivers,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: they scream at me now, most are Turks now. They
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: used to be all Irish. They're mostly Turks now. And
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: you may have remembered that one video. You'll never be mayor.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: People hate you. Get out of here. Get away from
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: my horse. And remember, I was drinking from the trough.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: I said, the horses can't even get fresh water. They
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: have to drink swill. They got so, so much attention.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: And I just petted the horses, you know, and I said,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: hold on for another two years. Because in 2028, there
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: will no longer be horse-drawn carriages in Central Park or
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: anywhere in the city of New York. So you just
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: got to hold on because this deal that's been made
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: with Zoran Mandami, who was a latecomer to this, remember
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: in the last election cycle, at the very end, public
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: popular opinion was actually siding with me, as opposed to
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: 2021 when I ran against Eric Adams. Everybody laughed at me,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: you animal lover. The editorials and the Times, the News,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: the Post were... Really demeaning. And then all of a sudden, 2025,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: at the very end in the last month, Cuomo came
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: on board. Adams came on board. And yes, Zoran Mandami
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: came on board. I didn't think he would do anything,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: but he joined with Julie Mennon, who is the only
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: person who could do something because this had to be
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: voted on by the city council. Years ago, Bill de
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Blasio claimed that he was going to ban the horse
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: carriage industry when he was running for mayor. All the
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: animal welfare people, you know how they love animals. They'll
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: give more money for animal welfare than for people welfare.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: They flooded his campaign with cash, which propelled him to victory.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Then he got inaugurated. They said, well, where's your executive pen?
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Through executive order, you're going to discontinue this barbaric behavior.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: He said, oh, it's the city council that has to
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: do it and never did anything more. So finally, they
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: got the votes. They must have worked on these different
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: city council people. I know who they are, who resisted.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to mention their names because the victory
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: is here. And she probably threatened them with holding discretionary funds,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: which is the mother's milk of a politician. So they
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: can go back to their district and say, hey, you know,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I'm bringing you all of this courtesy of me. When
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: in fact, it's us, the taxpayers. So it is a
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: momentous occasion because I don't want to take any credit
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: for this. This actually, as I mentioned, and nobody else
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: out there ever mentions it, started in the studios at WOR.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: with a man who was credited with founding talk radio,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: this thing of ours that we love so much, Barry Gray. Remember,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: he's the first person ever to take a phone call.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: And after that, the suits at WRC, that's a pretty
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: damn good thing. Maybe you ought to do it on
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: a regular basis. In the 60s and 70s, he did
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: mid mornings at WMCA, WOR constantly. We need to ban
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: the horse carriage industry, ban it. Nothing was done. Bill
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: de Blasio faked everybody out. 2021, they made fun of me,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: and now we're going to see the end of it. Imagine,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: this was the first city that began the effort to
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: stop this barbaric practice, and will probably be the last
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: city to end it, and that includes in the world.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: But let's give some credit to people in general. I
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: don't think, if you didn't get the masses behind this,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: and I think it's changed, the polling has already showed
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: that it's dramatically changed. You pointed that out a second ago,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: that Nobody was doing anything when you were talking about
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: it at first. As a matter of fact, they probably
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: thought you were crazy. There were editorials putting you down
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: for even saying that. What has happened is that because
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: of you and because of Barry Gray, people started paying
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: attention to the issue. And it was the people that changed.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: When horse after horse was dying, when horse after horse
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: was running rampant through the streets and terrorizing people that
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: were walking on the streets, they're was slowly a feeling
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: that maybe this isn't the best thing to have in
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: an overpopulated city, in a city where there's people every
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: single day that are in these horses' way, that they're
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: unpredictable and anything can happen. It was case after case
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: after case that was building. And I'll be honest with you,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: I was one of those people. I thought, wow, you
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: don't want to get rid of the carriages in Central Park.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: They're iconic. It's part of the landscape. You were in
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: the majority at that time. Yeah, of course.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: But I think I was in that majority that changed
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: in story after story after story after story. And I
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: didn't change until recently. And I think a lot of
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: people changed recently when that young boy was killed, the
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: tourist that was killed in Central Park just this year.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: So listen– Um, I applaud you because you saw this
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: a long time ago and I applaud everybody who saw
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: it a long time ago, but I, I do know,
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: and it's not going to be voted on now. It's
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: probably going to take about a month. No, no, actually
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: it's October 22nd next, uh, next week.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, really? Yeah. I've been invited to come.
• 25:11
  Speaker 12: Oh, good.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: We'll see if they let me in the last time
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: they took my microphone away.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: Remember?
• 25:16
  Speaker 13: That was still one of my favorite videos. The hand
• 25:19
  Speaker 13: coming out of nowhere.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, October 22nd because I had heard somebody, oh, it's
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: not going to take effect for a long time.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: No, not until 2028. Now, what they're going to do is,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: because obviously they're men and women who that's how they
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: earn their living, they're going to seek other terms of
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: employment for them until 2028. I had the better plan.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: They didn't want to go with it. There is a
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: benefactor down in Florida who collected all these shitty bang-bang cars.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: He said, I'll electrify them. Remember from the movie Dick
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Van Dyke, Chitty Bang Bang? There are people who would
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: love to be in a Chitty Bang Bang car and
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: go around Central Park electric, safe. We got to do
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: something with the pedicabs up next because they're out of control.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: You want to hear from one of your favorite people? Yes.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Christina Hansen.
• 26:04
  Speaker 9: Oh, I would hope that the city council members have,
• 26:08
  Speaker 9: you know. that they remember why they came to government
• 26:11
  Speaker 9: and that that was to help people, not hurt people.
• 26:15
  Speaker 9: This bill will be devastating for carriage drivers and carriage owners.
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: People will be evicted. People will lose their houses. They
• 26:23
  Speaker 9: have mortgages and bills they need to pay. They have children.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. She's with the TWU. That's not show because they're
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: giving them two years. They're going to segue them into
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: other work. They're going to compensate the owners. Everybody will
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: be made whole at taxpayers expense and, But it's time.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: It's time that it's over. And I'm going back into
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Central Park today, talk to the horses. You know, I
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: talk to the horses, and they listen to me. I'm saying,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: hold on, pal. Hold on to 2028. Oh, man.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: When we come back, well, the Pope, see, he went
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: in for something on his lung, and he ended up
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: in there a lot longer than they thought he was
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: going to be in there because they found something. Well,
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: they found the beginnings of something really bad, but we
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: should have an expert talk about that.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: The great Dr. Gil Lederman. Right, who saved my voice.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Sunday night, or I would never have been able to
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: appear with you and Natalie. I had no voice. The
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: only one who's upset about that is my wife, Nancy,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: who appreciated two days of me not being able to
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: talk Saturday and Sunday in the house. Each and every... Well,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: as soon as.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: We heard that Pope Leo had to undergo surgery because
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: of possible lung cancer. We knew who to go to,
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: the expert, the best in the country, Dr. Gil Lederman,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: host of the Radio Surgery New York at midnight and
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: also on the weekends.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Dr.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Lederman, what do we know about the procedure he went
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: through and what can we all learn from it?
• 28:02
  Speaker 14: Thank you, Larry. Thank you for having me on the show.
• 28:03
  Speaker 14: So on the weekend, we heard that he had a
• 28:06
  Speaker 14: small nodule in the lung. No other news. We weren't
• 28:09
  Speaker 14: told if he had a biopsy, if he had a
• 28:10
  Speaker 14: PET scan, if he had bronchoscopy. Only there was a
• 28:13
  Speaker 14: small nodule in the lung. So we know that it's
• 28:15
  Speaker 14: a small nodule in the lung, supposedly. And then yesterday
• 28:19
  Speaker 14: at Camelli Hospital, which is one of the leading hospitals
• 28:22
  Speaker 14: in Rome, he had his entire right lower lobe of
• 28:26
  Speaker 14: his lung removed for adenocarcinoma. So that's what we know
• 28:31
  Speaker 14: right now. At least that's what the public knows. That's
• 28:33
  Speaker 14: what I know and you know now. So there's lots
• 28:36
  Speaker 14: of remaining issues. Number one, did they do a biopsy?
• 28:39
  Speaker 14: Did they do a PET scan? Is this a cancer
• 28:41
  Speaker 14: that's traveled? Has it gone to the lymph nodes? Has
• 28:44
  Speaker 14: it gone to the bone or the lung? Or is
• 28:45
  Speaker 14: it only just this tiny little cancer that was removed
• 28:49
  Speaker 14: by removing the entire right lower lobe? So that's what
• 28:53
  Speaker 14: we know.
• 28:53
  Speaker 15: Dr.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Lederman, this is Curtis. You had mentioned when you were
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: kind enough to join us Monday when the news broke
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: that the typical procedure might cause them to have to
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: deflate the lung for upwards of a week before there
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: can be recovery. Is that your concept right now based
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: on more of the information that you have available?
• 29:19
  Speaker 14: Well, yeah, because the lung is like a balloon. If
• 29:22
  Speaker 14: you go up and cut out a quarter of the
• 29:25
  Speaker 14: balloon or a third of the balloon... The balloon's no
• 29:27
  Speaker 14: longer the balloon. And so, yes, he's probably in the
• 29:31
  Speaker 14: ICU at Gamali Hospital with a chest tube in, and
• 29:34
  Speaker 14: that chest tube is hooked up to a gizmo to
• 29:38
  Speaker 14: suck out all that air that got in. the right
• 29:41
  Speaker 14: lung cavity. So presumably his lung was sewed up, and
• 29:45
  Speaker 14: they're going to suck out all the extra air to
• 29:47
  Speaker 14: reinflate the right lung. It's kind of a painful procedure
• 29:51
  Speaker 14: to be a normal person all of a sudden being
• 29:52
  Speaker 14: stuck on a ventilator or on a chest tube in
• 29:56
  Speaker 14: the ICU. and usually takes about a week to reinflate
• 29:59
  Speaker 14: the lung, and then the chest tube is removed, and
• 30:02
  Speaker 14: hopefully the lung stays up, and he goes home, and
• 30:06
  Speaker 14: then he goes on the next step, which is to
• 30:08
  Speaker 14: see if the cancer's traveled. If it was in my practice,
• 30:11
  Speaker 14: things would have been different. At least we would have
• 30:14
  Speaker 14: spoken to him about the possibility of a biopsy without
• 30:17
  Speaker 14: removing the right lower lobe. His entire right lower lobe
• 30:21
  Speaker 14: was removed, which means he'll have less exercise capacity. I
• 30:24
  Speaker 14: think he's a very active pope, he's very physically active,
• 30:28
  Speaker 14: and he'll probably notice a diminishment in his ability to
• 30:32
  Speaker 14: breathe and exercise normally. There were options for him. In
• 30:37
  Speaker 14: my view, on the little knowledge I know, if there
• 30:40
  Speaker 14: was a small tumor, and it's only a small tumor,
• 30:42
  Speaker 14: he could have had non-invasive treatment, and non-invasive treatments such
• 30:46
  Speaker 14: as radiosurgery, we treat thousands. I've, in fact, treated 40,000
• 30:50
  Speaker 14: patients with non-invasive treatment, specifically for this syndication. Adenocarcinoma of
• 30:55
  Speaker 14: the lung, small nodule, in a person who just does
• 30:58
  Speaker 14: not want to go through surgery, does not want to
• 31:00
  Speaker 14: be in the hospital, does not want a chest tube,
• 31:02
  Speaker 14: doesn't want to lose a third of his right lung.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: Hey, Pope Leo's older brother, we're now learning, also has cancer.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: He's been getting treatment for a type of blood cancer,
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: multiple myeloma. Is that just a coincidence or is it
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: common that if one member of a family has cancer,
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: other members might be susceptible or may also have cancer?
• 31:26
  Speaker 14: I can tell you that in my practice, I always
• 31:29
  Speaker 14: ask people if they smoke and then I always ask
• 31:31
  Speaker 14: them if they had secondhand smoke. And in my experience,
• 31:34
  Speaker 14: which is shocking, but I'm actually going and producing a
• 31:36
  Speaker 14: study now, many people will tell me, no, they don't smoke.
• 31:40
  Speaker 14: And actually, they were ex-smokers. Many people tell me they
• 31:44
  Speaker 14: had no secondhand smoke. Then I'll ask them, but did
• 31:46
  Speaker 14: your parents smoke at home? And at that point, most
• 31:51
  Speaker 14: people right now are telling me their parents smoked at
• 31:53
  Speaker 14: home when they were children, which is a very vulnerable
• 31:56
  Speaker 14: stage for us. And to have two cancers, it may
• 31:59
  Speaker 14: well be that his parents smoked at home. And smoking
• 32:04
  Speaker 14: can increase cancers, so many cancers, smoking, even secondhand smoke,
• 32:09
  Speaker 14: lung cancers, esophageal cancer. prostate cancers, bladder cancers, kidney cancers,
• 32:15
  Speaker 14: and heart disease. So much could be done. So it's
• 32:18
  Speaker 14: certainly possible. And I'm actually trying to do a search
• 32:21
  Speaker 14: about the beloved Pope, but they don't talk anything about
• 32:25
  Speaker 14: smoking history. So we don't know really about that, and
• 32:28
  Speaker 14: we don't know about his parents.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Dr. Lederman, I can't recommend your services more highly. You
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: cared for my dad, my mom, me, and I've just
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: known you for so many years. So for people out
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: there who want to learn more and find out all
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: these alternatives that Dr. Gil Lederman has become an expert
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: in the field of. And, of course, you can hear Dr.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Gil Lederman at midnight right here on 710WOR and on
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: the weekends. Thanks again for this great update, Dr. Lederman,
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: on the health of the Pope.
• 33:02
  Speaker 14: God bless you, and God bless the Pope, and I
• 33:04
  Speaker 14: hope he lives to be 120. And a better phone number,
• 33:07
  Speaker 14: by the way, is 212-CHOICES. 212-CHOICES comes right to our office,
• 33:11
  Speaker 14: and it's easy to remember.
• 33:12
  Speaker 16: 212-CHOICES.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Do appreciate that. It's seven o'clock. Up next, Cornell. There
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: are updates, but first, the news. Oh, boy. Cornell does
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: not leave the headlines reverberating across the nation. In fact,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: every day there's more and more information that is coming
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: out on both sides of the issue. You have Jane
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Doe's attorney who is prolific. and getting out information that
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: he thinks is going to help this civil case that
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: he launched against Cornell that introduced us to what had
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: happened on that fateful night. Then you have all the
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: other defense attorneys who have been hired on behalf of
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: the Cornell 7. a full-page interview in the New York Times,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: the old great lady by the president of Cornell, who says, look,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: there were many missteps. I am guilty of missteps, but
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not resigning, which has been one of the demands
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: of the many who have been organizing demonstrations on and
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: off campus. One of the defendant's attorneys, I think, very
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: wisely called for a gag rule, Larry, to stop all
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: of this dissemination of I'll call it information for now,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: but some of it will probably turn out to be misinformation.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: This case is being tried with the public. It's not
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: even being tried in a civil case yet or a
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: potential criminal case. And every day there's just more and more.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: The latest is this, and this is not a good
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: reflection on Jane Doe. The victim, according to her attorney
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: in the civil suit, Apparently, Jane Doe was sent by
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: her roommate at the sorority that she shared a room
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: with a text at about three o'clock in the morning,
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: which would have been on the night and morning in
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: question when all of a sudden the threesome was taking
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: place and then other guys got in on the action.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: And apparently the roommate just said, hey, I need to know,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: are you coming home? And there was a response at
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: 3.05 in the morning, IDK, simply, I don't know. And
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: then that same woman, her roommate, posted a picture of
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: their empty sorority dorm room at 11.15 that morning. And
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: her words were, it was a good night when only
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: one of the three of us made it back.
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: And now Jane Doe's attorney is Al Thomas Jeffra, who
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: is out there saying these are all taken out of context.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: They've only released certain things.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Well, you did the same thing. Both the sides of attorneys,
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: the defendants and Jane Doe's attorney, everybody's going to release
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: stuff right now. Curtis, I have covered so many trials recently.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: And you get all your information from the attorneys until
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: somebody puts on a gag order. And you know who
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: the one person is they can't put a gag order on?
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Another attorney.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: He can't put it on. They have to get a
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: judge in this case. They have to get somebody that
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: is going to take control of this case. Because it's
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: gotten ridiculous. Jeffra, by the way, he's stunned at this.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: He didn't want this. He didn't want this to be
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: a criminal case. He was leaking all this stuff out.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Simply because he wanted a big payout from Cornell University.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: He wanted a settlement. Oh, absolutely.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: That's all he was looking for. Now it's gotten out
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: of control. And now it's going to end up, once they,
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: if they do come up with charges, once there is
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: this state investigation and they come up with charges, they're
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: going to put the civil case on hold. So he
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: kind of screwed himself and his client because that's going
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: to be put on hold. And what is going to
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: dominate is, is just the criminal case. And then if
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: he loses the criminal case, he heard his own case.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: And then whether it's rumor, innuendo, or fact, other leaks
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: have come out that Jane Doe, the woman in question,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: had a self-harm problem weeks before in which she was
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: cutting herself. You know, there are, unfortunately, there are some
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: young people who are gripped in the throes of depression
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: who then revert to taking like straight edge razors, cutting themselves.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: You know, you really have to be in a miserable
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: state to begin doing that. A number of people who
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: have actually, years later, acknowledged that they went through that
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: same period of such deep depression, that they were cutting themselves.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: So more is coming out about.
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: This young lady.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: But you understand, we're at a point right now, we're
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: at a point in this case right now of gossip
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: and innuendo.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: And so everybody's just releasing stuff right now that they
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: believe helps their case. And so none of it has
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: gone through the system of justice on you can't enter that,
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: you can't enter that, or any cross-examination or witness coming
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: out from the other side. And so Cornell University has
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: had to stay basically silent on the whole thing. They've
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: been taking some actions, yes, but they have to stay
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: basically silent because they don't want to hurt their own case.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: I'm sure there are Attorneys have told them be extremely
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: selective on what you say.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: They made a decision, an executive decision, that they are
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: banning all frat parties on campus or off campus. So
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: they want to make sweeping changes. Are they going to
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: get rid of their sex guides? Did you see that?
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Did you see their sex guides? And exactly one or
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: two are okay for mates. More than three, that's up
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: to you. That was a sex guide put out by
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: the university. I didn't see that.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Yeah, we'll have to get that. I'm
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: going to get the whole thing so we can go
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: down it.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Bill Maher, I didn't know this, was a graduate. He
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: graduated in 1978. And as you know, he is a
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: party guy. The one time I went on his show,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: Comedy Central, afterwards, they all went out partying until the
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: break of dawn. So he's always been a party guy.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: When he does his podcast, not his HBO program, his podcast,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: he's drinking, he's smoking. he's an acknowledged party guy. He
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: came out and said, get rid of Greek life, period, everywhere.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: He says, because if there is a problem and you
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: have a frat, You're just exacerbating that problem. Now, he
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: didn't quite go to the extent of saying that Taliban
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: rules should be put into effect. But boy, for a
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: guy who's been known as Spuds McKenzie, a guy who
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: loves to party. saying get rid of all greek life.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: He obviously doesn't like fraternities and i'm not i've never
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: joined a frat nobody in my family has ever been
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: on a frat or a sorority but i don't have
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: any problems with them i uh you look at just
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: because there's a you know one bad apple or a
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: couple of things happened at fraternities that doesn't mean you
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: should ban them people seem to love them and so
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: why not have them just control them and and what
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: and and by the way when you look at the
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: frats and not Cornell University you're looking at the wrong
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: thing Cornell University was able to set the regulations and
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: rules for these places Cornell University put people in charge
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: of the frats and the sororities and they were negligent
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: and so Cornell University should be embarrassed of all of
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: this the president of Cornell University should step down he's
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: trying to save his job right now But he should
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: step down. This is a huge embarrassment to them. But
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: as far as the case, everybody has to calm down.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: It's going to go to court. There's no question at
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: this point it's going to go to court. And everything's
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: going to be a lot of different. You're going to
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: hear evidence you thought was one way and now it's
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: another way. You're going to hear many things. Right now,
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: it's a free-for-all. People are just throwing stuff out there. And,
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: of course, the media, we suck it all up. And
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: so we have a microphone and we send it across
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: the world. And then it becomes true.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Well, it was an important part of the debate last
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: night between Bruce Blakeman. and obviously Kathy Hochul. They both
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: had their opinions on it, but Bruce was very quick,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: very quick-footed. He said, hey, what did you do for
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: four years? You were the trustee there at Cornell University.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: You act oblivious, like you didn't play any role in
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: basically covering this up. Now, I don't think that was
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: necessarily fair, but the public doesn't know that. I think
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: you had pointed out that you could be a trustee
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: to a college, especially the state gives money to Cornell University.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: As governor, without ever knowing what's going on, you're not
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: attending board meetings or things like that. Especially at a
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: frat party.
• 42:11
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: You're not going to know what's happening at a frat
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: party on a given night. But once there was an
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: investigation and there was an investigation, I'm sure the trustees
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: learned about that. Should they have gotten involved?
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: No.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: I don't think they should have gotten involved. As governor,
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: should she have? Well, she should certainly have been more
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: curious than it sounds like she was. She kept it
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: at hand's length. So some of the criticism is okay.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: Some of that criticism is okay.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: One thing I liked about Bruce Blakeman is he said,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: as you have pointed out, the law right now, the
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: way it's written, basically suggests that if you are inebriated
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: or thought to be inebriated. Voluntarily. That's the key word.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: That in fact you are culpable and that whoever is
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: being charged with preying upon you, taking advantage of you,
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: well that's almost like tough noogie. So he was very
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: good in explaining that like he as governor would lead
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: to change to that law. Good, good.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: It's that law is going to get changed at this point.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: And one of the best things that happened at this
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: case is that was put out in the spotlight. Now
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: they can't go too far the other way, but most
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: states have dealt with this issue. a lot better than
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: New York has. And I don't understand why this law
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: has existed for so long. People have been trying to
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: get rid of the voluntary intoxication law for a decade,
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: and they have not been able to, and nobody paid
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: attention to them until now.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: You know, we had such a strong Me Too movement
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: here in both the state legislature. That's why Andrew Evil
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Eyes Cuomo got ousted because of the sexual harassment. You
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: would have thought that there were legislators... who, if not,
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: their staff, because staff does 90% of their work, who
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: would have brought this to everybody's attention, and yet there
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: are states, as you pointed out, that are considered more
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: conservative than New York. New York is considered one of
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: the most progressive, most democratic, where those provisions are already
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: put into place. Curtis, they all knew about it. They
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: all knew about this law.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: They all knew about the fight to change, and it
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: comes up just about every year, and it never gets through. So, listen,
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: for some reason, there's a lot of men.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: That are worried about this law and certainly don't want.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: It to pass.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: And now I think it's gotten to the point we've
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: now hit a tipping point. where it's going to change.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: It has to change.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: Could be their own behavior in Albany. Remember, there have
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: been many charges about them taking advantage of interns and
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: female staff members.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that's what I was saying without saying it.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: Interested in buying a dinosaur? Then stay with us.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: Listen to this.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: This is kind of amazing. A very rare fossil skeleton
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: named Jody is what paleontologists believe is a new dinosaur,
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: one we didn't know about before. And they believe it's
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: a distant cousin of the Tyrannosaurus rex. It's known as
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: a nanotyrannus. Now this, in the science world, would be huge, right?
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: And so guess what they're going to do? Guess what
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: they're going to do with that skeleton? They're going to
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: auction it off.
• 45:27
  Speaker 16: Thanks to extensive research that was just published last fall,
• 45:31
  Speaker 16: we now have proof that this is actually a completely
• 45:35
  Speaker 16: different type of dinosaur known as a nanotyrannus.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: That is not a scientist. That is a sales pitch
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: from Sotheby's vice chair, Cassandra Halton. And so instead of
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: taking this and putting it in a museum, we're studying
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: it to see if we can find out about this
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: new breed It is going to be auctioned off.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: What do you mean auctioned off? You mean, do we
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: know the origin of it, where they dug it up?
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: Do we know exactly where they found it? You would
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: think the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History on the west
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: side of New York, some other great museum. Would want
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: to keep it on for show and also students and
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: people studying. I can't understand if this was the fossils
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: of Godzilla, the most famous dinosaur of all times with
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: all of his movies.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: Those museums don't pay as much. It was found by
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: a rancher in Montana in 2019. Okay, 2019, Rancher Montana.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: Makes sense if you followed where supposedly all the dinosaurs
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: were until they went extinct. But how does it all
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: of a sudden go up for auction and not become
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: part of the scientific world?
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: Because it's hers. It was found on her property. Jodi
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: Peterson found it on her property. And it's not just
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: because that's where all the dinosaurs were. The dinosaurs were
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: just about everywhere. It's that the ground is unsullied. You know,
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: nobody's been touching a ranch ground or Montana for a
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: long time here. They've dug everything up. So anything to
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: find has been found at this point. And it's really interesting. Hatton,
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: the person from Sotheby's, who is trying to sell this thing,
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: I would think a selling point would be that it's
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: a cousin of the Tyrannosaurus Rex. But she's trying to
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: distance that.
• 47:28
  Speaker 16: It lived at the same time as T-Rex, but they
• 47:31
  Speaker 16: occupied distinct niches in the ecological system. So think of
• 47:36
  Speaker 16: maybe a lion and a cheetah.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: So even though paleontologists are saying it's related, she's looking
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: at the price tag. If this is a brand new,
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: unrelated find, she's thinking it would take in more money. Now,
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: yesterday we talked about Michael Jordan's game-worn jersey in the
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: finals that went for $ 14 million. What do you think,
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: if that went for $ 14 million, what do you think
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: they would expect this skeleton to go for?
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: First of all, if you'd have to authenticate it, how
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: do you know it's not bison bones or buffalo bones?
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: Millions of dollars, without a question. More than the jersey?
• 48:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: Some emir in Dubai would probably want to have that there.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: It's supposed to go between $ 6 and $ 9 million, maybe even...
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: Half the amount.
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: So a jersey?
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: The jersey went for more.
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: What?
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: That's the world we live in. Now let's get some.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: Talkbacks on a lot of different topics.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: Let's start with the debate.
• 48:35
  Speaker 17: Kathy Hochul seemed like a person who knew she was
• 48:38
  Speaker 17: in first place. One, because she had that stupid, smug smile,
• 48:45
  Speaker 17: that Hillary Clinton smile that I can't stand. I just
• 48:48
  Speaker 17: want to dropkick her. And she just didn't care what
• 48:53
  Speaker 17: he had to say. She wasn't going to say what
• 48:54
  Speaker 17: she wanted to say.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: And that was it.
• 48:57
  Speaker 16: True.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: She cellophane wrapped Bruce Blakeman in Trump. And we're going
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: to get into that heavily in the eight o'clock hour.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: Now, let's like I said, a lot of topics. Here's Cornell.
• 49:10
  Speaker 18: You pointed out what I've been saying all along. If
• 49:14
  Speaker 18: they were trying to get a lawsuit against Cornell and
• 49:18
  Speaker 18: get a payout, they have shot themselves in the foot
• 49:22
  Speaker 18: now because if you start a criminal investigation... That takes
• 49:26
  Speaker 18: over precedence over the civil. They'll never get around to it.
• 49:30
  Speaker 18: What were they thinking?
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: You're absolutely correct. And now, because I'll tell you what,
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: the horse is out of the barn now. There's no
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: way to put this back in. And there's going to
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: be a criminal case. And this civil case is going
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: to be put on hold. This is attorney malpractice. Now
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: let's get to Daria Alpinger with the 730 News.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: Daria.
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: Morning, guys.
• 49:54
  Speaker 10: Chance for a midday or afternoon shower. We'll see a
• 49:57
  Speaker 10: high of 78 degrees today. In less than three weeks
• 50:00
  Speaker 10: from now, New Yorkers will choose a new governor. Last night,
• 50:03
  Speaker 10: the two people who want the job met for their
• 50:05
  Speaker 10: one and only debate.
• 50:06
  Speaker 19: Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul and Republican Nassau County Executive Bruce
• 50:10
  Speaker 19: Blakeman debated for an hour. The event hosted and aired
• 50:14
  Speaker 19: by New York One and Spectrum News. The two sparred
• 50:17
  Speaker 19: often on immigration and ICE, specifically last week's ICE shooting
• 50:21
  Speaker 19: in New York City of a man with his five-year-old
• 50:23
  Speaker 19: in the car.
• 50:24
  Speaker 6: If you cooperate with federal law enforcement, it makes for
• 50:27
  Speaker 6: a safer community. That's what I did. Kathy Hochul has
• 50:31
  Speaker 6: taken that ability away from us. That's why things like
• 50:33
  Speaker 6: this happen.
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: He refused to condemn what ICE did. So he basically
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: says in the state of New York, he'd be fine.
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: If ICE agents shoot into cars.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: Andrew Whitman, WOR News.
• 50:46
  Speaker 10: President Trump will be out on the campaign trail today
• 50:49
  Speaker 10: with stops in Arizona and in Montana. Faculty members at
• 50:53
  Speaker 10: Cornell University are expected to begin debate today on a
• 50:57
  Speaker 10: no-confidence vote on how the school's administration handled an alleged
• 51:00
  Speaker 10: sexual assault at a fraternity house. Cornell, in the meantime,
• 51:04
  Speaker 10: is suspending fraternity parties while an investigation continues. The FBI
• 51:08
  Speaker 10: has traced a work-from-home scam in Texas to North Korea,
• 51:12
  Speaker 10: and the feds say what it was doing is dangerous.
• 51:14
  Speaker 20: The FBI says it's broken up a North Korean scheme
• 51:17
  Speaker 20: that put nearly 200 work laptops inside dozens of homes
• 51:21
  Speaker 20: across Texas. Agents say each laptop served as a doorway
• 51:24
  Speaker 20: for a North Korean posing as an American to infiltrate U.S.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: Companies.
• 51:29
  Speaker 7: ABC's Sophie Flay.
• 51:30
  Speaker 10: The Vatican says Pope Leo is resting peacefully after undergoing
• 51:34
  Speaker 10: surgery for lung cancer yesterday. The 71-year-old Chicago-born pontiff had
• 51:38
  Speaker 10: a malignant growth removed from his right lung. He should
• 51:41
  Speaker 10: be in the hospital for about a week.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: Rangers, Devils, and Islanders all won.
• 51:46
  Speaker 10: Next news, 8 o'clock bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger
• 51:49
  Speaker 10: on 710WOR.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, up next, right on time, tech expert Rich DeMuro.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: All these debates, including last night's debate with Hochul and Blakeman,
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: talked about the AI data filing centers. My question is,
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: how do you have AI without data filing centers? Up next. Well, Larry,
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: right on time. Our tech expert, Rich DeMuro. Rich, last
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: night we had the New York State gubernatorial debate. They
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: talked about AI data filing centers. It's been true in
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: almost every debate across the country, whether for governor, U.S. Senate, Congress.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: Four years ago, every governor was throwing money at these companies.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: We'll give you water, electricity, whatever you want, bring it
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: to this state. Four months ago, they started putting on
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: the brakes. How can you have AI without AI data
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: filing centers?
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: Well, it's a good question, and the interesting thing is
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: that you can. You can definitely have AI, and you've
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: probably used AI without a data center because this is
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: kind of the future of AI is where it lives
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: on your device. In fact, I was at a Microsoft
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: event this week where they talked about that very thing.
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: They came out with this super high-end laptop, and they said, look,
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: in the future, AI is going.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: To be hybrid.
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: And the reason why you don't always want AI in
• 53:06
  Speaker 4: a data center or AI in the cloud is for
• 53:09
  Speaker 4: privacy reasons. If you're running a big company, you don't
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: necessarily want all of your information to go to the cloud.
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: So that's number one. You know, the iPhone also runs
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: something called Apple Intelligence. Androids have something called, you know,
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: this These little flash nano packages are on your phone
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: that help run AI programs. But the main issue is.
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: You can't necessarily train AI without a cloud. So you
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: can in small ways, but if you truly want a
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: bunch of people to be able to not only train
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: that AI, but also access that AI, like a ChatGVT
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: or like a Meta's Muse, you've got to have the
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: data center in order to run the AI for millions
• 53:49
  Speaker 4: upon millions of people. And I think that's where the
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: debate is right there.
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: It's funny, I looked it up a second ago, and
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: there are 4,000 data centers in the country built and
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: active already. I don't know how many more we need.
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: It's getting to be a little bit silly. I don't
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: think all of them are even going to make it
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: or exist. I think this was just a rush to
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: get them up, to make the money on getting them up.
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: But let's talk about something else, because I'm fascinated by this.
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: Congratulations to you, by the way. This is a great story.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: which seems to be getting a huge response. And I
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: see why a $ 15 antenna can still get you free
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: TV and sports.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: Explain.
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: Well, this, uh, this actually started on the radio. I
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: got an email from a listener to my radio show saying, Hey, Rich,
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: you should interview this guy. He's on YouTube. All he
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: does is talk about antennas. You should have them on
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: your radio show. And I was like, ah, does anyone
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: really use an antenna in 2026? So I had him
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: on the show and, The name is Antenna Man, by
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: the way, on YouTube. We got so much response. I
• 54:50
  Speaker 4: got so many emails about all these antennas. I ended
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: up testing two of them that he mentioned. This $ 15
• 54:57
  Speaker 4: antenna from Philips, by the way, of all companies, you know,
• 55:00
  Speaker 4: old school company, called Rabbit Ears. And then another one
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: that was $ 35 from a company called Flattenna. or the
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: flat 10 up from channel master, set them up in
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: my house. All of a sudden they're pulling in, you know,
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: 98 channels, 115 channels.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sure.
• 55:14
  Speaker 4: A bunch of them I'm never going to watch, but
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: I was like reminded just how easy it is to
• 55:19
  Speaker 4: watch TV, watch your local news, even watch sports. all
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: for free in a world where everything with streaming services
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: just keeps going up.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: Whoa, whoa, wait a second.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: Wait a second. You got me at watching sports because
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: nowadays you can't find games because they keep switching from
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: like Amazon to CBS to Netflix. They keep switching around.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: Can you get NFL games for free?
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, your local games are broadcast typically on a local channel.
• 55:49
  Speaker 4: So if you are not out of state and you
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: want to watch your local Jets, Giants, whatever, you should
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: be able to watch them over the air without needing
• 55:58
  Speaker 4: a streaming subscription. What some people argue is that antenna
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: is better because they're not compressing the signal as much.
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: You're actually getting a higher quality signal. The downside is,
• 56:09
  Speaker 4: of course, if you want to record things or watch
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: them later, like a DVR, you'd still need that. And
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: they have them. There's things called ZapperBox, HD Home Run, Tableau.
• 56:19
  Speaker 4: But if you're interested in all of this stuff, go
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: to my website, check it out. But the website to
• 56:24
  Speaker 4: go to is called ravidears.info. You pop in your home address,
• 56:29
  Speaker 4: and it will tell you the channels you're expected to
• 56:32
  Speaker 4: receive and also where to aim the antenna. And a
• 56:35
  Speaker 4: little hint, you could use the Compass app on your
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: phone to line.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: Up the antenna.
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: Moving it a foot or two really makes.
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: A big difference.
• 56:42
  Speaker 4: And if you live within 30 miles of a TV tower,
• 56:44
  Speaker 4: which is a lot of people in New York City area,
• 56:47
  Speaker 4: You only need an indoor antenna. You don't need one
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: of these big outdoor antennas on the top of your
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: roof or something like that.
• 56:52
  Speaker 7: And no monthly subscription.
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: It can't go up. I mean, what are you going
• 56:57
  Speaker 4: to do? Come to your house and collect more money?
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 56:59
  Speaker 13: It seems like everybody does.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: So just asking. So now, Rich, you've made me very nostalgic.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: Late 60s, early 70s. I'm a teenager in Canarsie. We
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: had the rabbit ears up on the roof of the house.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: to get UHF channels that were, like, before cable. You know,
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: they always come in grainy. So if I were to
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: climb on top of my apartment building and do the
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: rabbit ears thing, could it somehow bring back UHF channels?
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: I used to love them.
• 57:29
  Speaker 4: Well, I think I'm not an expert in spectrum, but
• 57:32
  Speaker 4: I think those channels still exist, but just in a
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: different way. Like, I think they're all merged into the
• 57:37
  Speaker 4: channel lineup, which for me went from, like, channel two to, like,
• 57:41
  Speaker 4: a channel, like, 102 or something like that. So, and
• 57:44
  Speaker 4: there's also sub channels now, which are digital, you know,
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: these 4.1, 4.2, 4.3. So, I mean, there's a whole
• 57:51
  Speaker 4: bunch of stuff out there. Again, some of it is
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: not going to appeal to everyone, but you can watch
• 57:55
  Speaker 4: your local news. You can watch your local programming. And
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: on a lot of these sub channels, they have other
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: types of programming, whether it's like court TV, whether it's
• 58:02
  Speaker 4: old reruns of, you know, sitcoms and things like that.
• 58:05
  Speaker 4: So just put it this way for $ 15, you plug
• 58:08
  Speaker 4: it in at your house. You will be so impressed
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: with how much free stuff you can watch even in 2026.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: It's great information. Just real quick. As you know, everybody
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: in my house is an Apple person. I'm fascinated by
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: this home view. If I get that, what does it do?
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: So this is basically like a giant kind of oversized
• 58:28
  Speaker 4: screen for your home sitting on top of a speaker.
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: This is brand new from Apple. It is their big
• 58:34
  Speaker 4: entree into controlling the smart home. You can do all
• 58:37
  Speaker 4: the typical stuff. Obviously, it could be a slideshow of
• 58:40
  Speaker 4: your pictures when you're not using it. You can follow
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: recipes on it, monitor your cameras, look at your calendar,
• 58:46
  Speaker 4: play music. It comes in two varieties, one that sticks
• 58:49
  Speaker 4: onto your wall or one that actually just sits on
• 58:52
  Speaker 4: your countertop. Both are $ 300. This will be available November 13th.
• 58:57
  Speaker 4: And basically, it's kind of like The answer to what
• 59:00
  Speaker 4: Amazon has with their Echo devices and also what Google
• 59:03
  Speaker 4: has had for a long time with their Nest and
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: Home devices, it's just kind of a speaker slash display.
• 59:10
  Speaker 4: control system for your entire smart home.
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: And everybody's connected? Everybody in the house is connected to it?
• 59:16
  Speaker 4: That's the interesting thing. They're using facial recognition. Up to
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: six people in the house, when you walk up to
• 59:22
  Speaker 4: this little screen, it recognizes who you are. and only
• 59:25
  Speaker 4: shows your information. So it's completely personalized, which is kind
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: of a big feature that a lot of people are
• 59:31
  Speaker 4: talking about when it comes to this, because that's useful
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: in the house. You don't want your kids looking at
• 59:34
  Speaker 4: your emails or your texts or your photos, whatever.
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: It's all personalized. Oh, yeah, really good point.
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: Rich DeMuro, Rich on Tech, is heard Sunday nights from
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: 9 to 11 on WOR. At Rich on Tech on
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: Instagram is where you can reach out to him.
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: Coming up next, next, Rich.
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: Natalie Migliore talks to New Yorkers about their concerns and
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: thoughts on leadership in New York State.
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: Natalie's next. Now, it's 710 WOR Speed on the Street
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: with Natalie Migliore.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: Well, we just had a gubernatorial debate between Bruce Blakeman
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: and Kathy Hochul. So it's a great time to ask
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: New Yorkers their thoughts on the leadership in New York State.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: For that, we go to Natalie Migliore and her beat
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: on the street.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 19: Natalie.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 11: When did we come up with gubernatorial as like such
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 11: a word?
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 7: Like the word gubernatorial.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: It's been around kind of forever.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 7: I know, but why do we say... Why wasn't it
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 7: just governors?
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: Governors. Governors race.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 7: I know, but actually, sometimes we're not... Whatever, it doesn't matter.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 11: I was going to say, our newswire tells us to
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 11: avoid it because not everybody says it.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 7: Not everybody knows what gubernatorial is.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: Isn't that interesting? That is fascinating.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 7: So I'm always like, governorship, or dancing around it when
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 7: I'm actually... But anyway, I digress.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: Look, it's a multi-syllabic word. Some of us, we have
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: a difficult time with that.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 5: I do.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 7: I can't say it.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, please, just try one time.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 7: The essay, gubernatorial.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: There you.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 7: The SAT word of the day.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 15: Anyway, last night's hour-long debate was the only one New
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 15: Yorkers are expected to get, okay, with the two political
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 15: opponents trading barbs over ICE policies, affordability, and a slew
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 15: of other issues.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 7: So the debate only aired on New York One.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 11: Some clips are circulating social media between Governor Hochul and
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 11: Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, her Republican challenger.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 7: And people are just waking up. So did they watch it?
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 7: And are they following this race?
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 21: No, not really.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 8: I know there is a contender, a guy. That's what
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 8: I saw. As I said, I don't watch the news.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 8: I just see some, you know, on my cell phone eventually.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 17: Not too much.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: A little bit, but not too much.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 11: Can I ask you, is that because you might be
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 11: decided on who you're voting for already?
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping for hopeful. My mind is pretty well made up.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: And all my friends are going to vote for Blakeman
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: as well. Because we've got to get rid of Holcomb.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: She ruined this state. We're the highest taxed state in
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: the country.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 22: There's a lot she can do other than send out these,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 22: what is it, $ 200, $ 150 checks or something. She definitely
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 22: should step up to the plate more.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 11: Yeah, the governor announced she would be sending checks of
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 11: up to $ 200 to every qualifying New Yorker. To offset
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 11: the cost of high utility bills. If you haven't gotten
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 11: yours yet. Keep checking your mailbox through the end of
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 11: the year. I'm still checking my mailbox.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: So it's a bribe. Yours. Come on. Call it what
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 19: A bribe.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 11: That is what some people would say. Including you, Curtis.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 11: Have you gotten your check? Are you expecting one?
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: I don't handle that. The wife does, Nancy. Okay.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 7: We'll have to ask Nancy soon.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 17: But.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 11: Blakeman took her to task over high prices while she
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 11: went at him about his support for ICE.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 7: That's been a big issue for the governor.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 11: ICE and recently local law enforcement, banning local law enforcement
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 11: from working with federal agencies across, or not federal agencies,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 11: but ICE agents across the state. But not one person
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 11: on the street mentioned immigration policy as a worry.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 22: My number one concern is the safety for the riders
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 22: of the MTA system. It seems as if they're more
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 22: concerned with you paying your fare, which as you should
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 22: pay your fare. But at the same time, it's scary
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 22: riding the trains.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 5: It's very scary.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 8: Well, unfortunately, at least in New York City, you know,
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 8: conditions I think are getting worse. You see homeless on
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 8: the streets, a lot of garbage. For me, I feel
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 8: a sense of insecurity.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 7: Probably those are the.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 21: Less worries for governors because they are more interested in
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 21: some other issues, budgets, and politics in general.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 11: Well, Governor Hochul has delivered a late budget every year
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 11: since she's been in office. So that is something that
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 11: she's had to focus on if that's the case. But
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 11: polls show the debate may not mean much for these
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 11: two candidates since a recent Marist poll revealed only 5%
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 11: of surveyed voters are undecided three weeks out from Election Day.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 11: New Yorkers know what they want from their leaders.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 17: People who care about New York, who care about the
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 17: United States and want to make it a better place.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 22: Well, I don't think whether it's Democratic or Republican, I
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 22: think it's more who's going to support the country.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: Blakeman is a friend of mine, and he's a great guy,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: and I think he's going to win.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: He's honest.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: He's going to get the taxes, the electric bill.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: You know, everything is so high, so up.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: And I truly believe that once the war is over,
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: the price of gas is going to drop under $ 2.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 7: Not that the governor has any control over that.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 11: They could put a gas cap, a tax cap on gas,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 11: but the price of gas comes from the federal, you know.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 11: what's going on overseas.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: But gas, but other energy costs, they do have control over.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: And I think that came up several times in the debate.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: And I think that's what he was talking about as well.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: But you're right, gas, he doesn't. Natalie Migliore, WOR reporter
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: with us every day at this time. And she's going
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: to be back at this very time tomorrow at 7.50.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 7: With not a gubernatorial.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: Now you're going to say it over and over again.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: She has a new word.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: So, Curtis, I think any fair observer of the gubernatorial
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: debate last night would have to agree that Bruce Blakeman
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: won the debate. If you just go by command of
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: the issues, command of the stage, he wins. Because Kathy
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: Hochul didn't seem like she came with her A-game. I've
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: seen her better than this. But she's stumbled right out
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: of the block.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 9: New York State now.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: has the lowest crime rates it's had in modern history. Now,
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: we're not done yet, and you're going to hear a
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: lot of different opinions here this evening, and I want
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 3: you to judge it this way.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: That was right out of the block. She needed some
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: help from you. The 15 caffeinated cups of coffee that
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: you have a day. She was on low energy. Remember
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: Jeb Bush? Low energy Jeb Bush. She was low energy
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: Kathy Hochul.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: For the entire debate. I mean, I'm just playing the beginning.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: It's only an hour.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: For the entire debate. And all she did was talk.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: You'd think she was debating Donald Trump.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: She must have been.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: Told by her strategist, go after Trump, go after Trump,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: go after Trump, no matter what comes up.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 6: When you talk about Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Donald Trump,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 6: that's all you can talk about because you have a
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 6: record of failure and misery for the people who live
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 6: in this state.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: I did not wrap myself in the shroud of Donald
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: Trump the way you did.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: No, you wrap it in Zoran Mandani.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: Who Donald Trump actually thinks is a great mayor.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: Now, Larry, as I and Nancy watched, we had a clicker.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: 44 times in one hour, Kathy Hochul, the governor, tied
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman to Donald Trump. Only six times in an
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: hour did Bruce Blakeman tie Kathy Hochul to Zoran Mandami.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: It was so... It's like every second word out of
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: her mouth. Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. It's like she was
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: running against Donald Trump and not Bruce Blakeman.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: She was obviously... And she thinks this is the path
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: to victory. And I understand it, by the way. If
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: you're a strategist, you would think this is the path
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: to victory, too. She's obviously just trying to shore up
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: her base. And she knows her base hates Donald Trump.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: And so she's going to say Trump and Trump and
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: Trump and Trump and Trump and get him out. to
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: then defend Donald Trump, which he didn't take the bait.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: He really rarely took the bait. But as you mentioned,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: he did go after Mamdani. If you want to campaign
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: with him, that's fine.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 6: But I will tell you right now, I think Zoran
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 6: Mamdani is an anti-Semite.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: I believe he's anti-Christian. And I don't think he.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: Has American values.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: You don't even have the spine to stand up to
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump. They're taking money from your own county.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: He's talking Zoran Mamdani. She's talking Donald Trump. I will
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: tell you, though, they had go-to terms. For her, she
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: consistently says, I'm laser-focused. You know, that comes from a consultant.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: He had the best go-to term. You played it in
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: one of those cuts. You have a record of misery
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: and failure. That's a great one. That's a good one.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: And he dropped that appropriately. Not too much, but in
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: the appropriate times. And if you were listening and you
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: hadn't yet decided... you would say, yeah, it's been miserable.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: It's been a failure. I'm paying more money than ever before,
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: especially electricity rates, which he hammered her for. 30% of
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: what you pay is for the electricity. 70%, the rest
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: of it is for taxes and fees.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll tell you, if it was... another year, if
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: it was a different climate, political climate in the country,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman could win this. I think he's got a
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: lot of headwinds against him, only because it seems like
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: at least if you pay attention to the polls, and
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: trust me, I read your emails and we get your talkbacks,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: I know the polls can be way off and they
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: almost always favor Democrats. And I think that's going to
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: affect certain states. I'm not sure it's going to affect
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: New York. So right now, if you were handicapping this race,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: and I know you get upset when I say this,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: but if you're handicapping this race, to be fair, it's
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hochul's to lose. And I'm not sure she lost
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: it last night, but I'm sure a lot of the
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: people that are supporting her are looking at that and
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: have some concerns.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: Well, she has the woman's vote, overwhelmingly, and she had
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: it the last time against Eldon. The difference here is,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: Zeldin was strongly pro-life, which turns off a lot of women.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: And Blakeman very adeptly got it in twice by saying,
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: this is how I differ from Donald Trump. I am pro-choice, pro-choice.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: So a lot of women watching, I just assumed every
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: Republican is pro-life. So he got that in a few
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: times is effective because a lot of women will not
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: even consider you if you're pro-life.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it seemed like the top issues are the same
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: top issues they are in every election, crime in the
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: economy and the cost of living. And so although Kathy
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: Hochul kept going after Trump for causing record high inflation, well,
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: not record high, Biden had higher, but high inflation, Blakeman
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: kept going after her for higher taxes and the energy costs,
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: which he says, She raised 48 times, and the fact
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: that she never challenged him on that means it's true. Now,
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: she's also going to send a $ 150 check. Have you
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: gotten yours yet, by the way?
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: That's a bribe. It is a bribe. It's absolutely a bribe.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: They call it a rebate. It's a bribe.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: No, and he said that as well. She never said that,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: but she was ignoring all of that. I will tell
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: you something. Whoever prepped her for this debate did a
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: horrible job. Because there was many things Blakeman went after
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: her about that she didn't seem like she had an
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: answer for. And so that's definitely prep. Now, I don't
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: know if it was her fault that she didn't feel
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: like she needed to be prepped or it was the
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: person that was prepping her. But you've been through debates.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: You go through a lot of prep. I've gone through
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: seven debates now running for mayor. Three in a primary
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: and four in the general election. I will tell you, though,
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: that I felt the two moderators, Errol Lewis, who's based
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: here in New York City, and his colleague from Spectrum
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: is the Albany correspondent, did not intervene.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: They let them go. And that's what you want. You
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: want them to go back and forth because, you know,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: sometimes you've seen it. Moderators, they steal the show. It's
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: all about them. And then they talk over you. They
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: interfere with you. Both sides were able to make their points.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: And your first debate, by the way, was awful. That
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: was awful. They felt like they were the stars. You
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: heard more. from the people that were asking the questions
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: than you did from the people that.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: Were on the stage.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 4: That was NBC.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: I had to wave flags as if I was on
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: the deck of an aircraft carrier. And I was right
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: in the middle, you know, from the choice. Hey, you know,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: I'm running for mayor. This is after 10 minutes. But
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: I will tell you this. You didn't get a question.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 12: No.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: And then I just bogarted my way in. I just
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: kept talking, talking, even just interfering. I had no choice.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: But I will tell you this. Three things that are
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: important in the debate. Height.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 12: Hair.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: Makeup. Every debate. So Kathy Hochul is about a little
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: taller than our own Natalie Migliore. Did I get that right? Migliore. Yes.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 7: Very good.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: So Bruce Blakeman's a pretty tall guy. I've been in
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: his company. He's about 6'2, 6'3. So if they stood
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: next to one another debating at the podium, there would
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: be a clear difference. They obviously had a place for
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: her to stand on. It almost put her at equal
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: eye level, except when the New York won, the spectrum
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: camera was on it. You never saw her feet. You
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: saw Bruce Blakeman's feet. That's the way it was positioned.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: Then at the very end, after the salutations and greetings
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: to the audience by the moderators, They panned over to her.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: She walked over to Bruce, shook his hand. It's like
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: she was staring up at the Jolly Green Giant. Now, psychologically,
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: they say that impacts on people. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: And by the way, she's not the first one to
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: do this. This happens regularly in debates. And a lot
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: of it is not just for the candidate. It's for
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: the camera shot. They need to get people. They do
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: it all the time on anchor sets. There's people that
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: sit on pillows so they can be as high as
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: the other person.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: But it happens all the time. He had that nice
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: silver gray hair, well done. And he had a little
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: bit of what looked like a tan, but it wasn't
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: a tan. So the makeup was a good job. In
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: regards to Kathy Hochul, yes, hair, makeup was okay. But
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: there have been other candidates who are bald, who never
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: have a chance as a guy against somebody with a
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: full mane of hair.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman's a good-looking guy. And Bruce Blankman presents himself well.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: He looks like a politician. He looks like a governor.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: And that's important. That's really important that people see that.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hochul, I don't think she looks like a governor. Well,
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: remember she told us at the start.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: I came out of a trailer park and I worked
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: in a pizzeria. I said, you are so loaded with cash.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: You and your deadbeat husband, a former U.S. attorney in Buffalo,
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: from that Buffalo's bills deal they engineered and other measures.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: She's the grifter of New York State. But, oh, my God,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: I wanted to take the violin out. I didn't know
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: it's a rags to riches story. Oh my God.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, here's the important thing. Let's just
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: sum this up by saying, I think that Bruce Blakeman
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: easily won that debate. Unfortunately, I don't think a lot
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: of people watch the debate. However, they do look at
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: social media and they do look at YouTube. And when
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: they hear about certain things, especially they go and search
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: it out. And Bruce Blakeman at this point is winning
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: the internet. He's winning the social media battle. And I
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: would say that, Curses on the Hochul campaign because they
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: have done a horrible job of getting her out there
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: and her shining moments, if there was one or two,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: on the Internet. And they have done a horrible job
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: of promoting that. If you go online right now and
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: you put Hochul's name in. and you go to X
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: or you go to Facebook or go to anything, you're
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: not going to see a lot of stuff, especially from
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: the Democratic National Committee or from the Hochul campaign. Blakeman,
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: on the other hand, it's filled. It's all over the place.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: The key to this is he's winning with independents, which
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: normally at this point, three weeks out, that's not the case.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: So he's doing very well. He'll have the base out. Democrats,
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: maybe some men, he's really hurting when it comes to
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: the women. and hopefully last night's performance, if looked at
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: by a woman, they would take a much more liking
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: to him than they did to Lee Seldon, who was,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: first of all, he was angry in his one debate.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: There should be more debates. Yeah, I think you're right.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: I want to just tell the importance of the point
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: I just made, though, because very few people saw that
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: debate last night. Very few people. A lot of people
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: are going to see it online today.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: That's why there should be minimum of two debates. As
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: you look around the country, Maine has had five in
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: nine days, most others two, some four. And we are
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: only relegated to one debate. That is who disgrats the other.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: Maybe if it tightens up, they'll agree to another debate
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: and do one in a rush. Because right now, I
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: think Hochul thinks she has it wrapped up. And that's
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: why there's only one. Yeah, she's running against Trump. She
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: probably forgot Bruce Blakeman's name. 44 times she mentioned Trump
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: in one hour.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: Anyway, up next. Oh, boy, Larry. Wow, you forgot something.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it was purposeful. What did you say?
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: Something like you. I got my pants on.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 4: Please.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: Thank you. What did I forget? Having to do with
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: Harry Styles. Wait till you hear this, ladies and gentlemen.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you forgot or you skated on
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: the issue. We'll figure it out. Plus a chance to
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: see Journey next. So, Larry, I'm going to reserve judgment
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: on this. You normally don't have this kind of a lapse.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: You normally are like a tiger, ready to just pounce.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: But the other night, Sunday night, Madison Square Garden, packed house,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: you know, Harry Styles is doing his residency tour. He's singing,
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: and then he stops and addresses the audience. I figure, oh,
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: it's one of these Palestinian things. No, no, no. He
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: decided to talk about Oscar Belgal, the illegal Dominican criminal
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: that I shot up in the Bronx the other day.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: And he said, oh, the people who don't look like
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: you and aren't born where you're from, they deserve respect
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: and love and dignity and justice. Bruce Blakeman was like
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: all over that. He was saying, I think Harry Styles
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: should put that guy on his tour bus and take
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: him around the country. He's a convicted criminal. But I
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: think you didn't overlook it. I think you wanted to
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: keep solidarity with Natalie, our producer, who likes Harry Styles.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 5: I do.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: I didn't even know about it until just now. So
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: that's that's why i didn't talk about it that's the
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: only reason i didn't talk about.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: It oh i thought you just wanted to not upset
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: natalie who is like a devotee of harry styles i
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: went i.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: Have taken almost every opportunity to upset natalie That's not
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: my style.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: You know what's incredible? When I looked at the headline,
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: I just assumed it was about Palestinians and Zionists, you know,
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: the typical routine, Macklemore and all them. No, Oscar Belgao.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, this is Harry Styles. He's on top
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: of the world. Why is he talking about this guy
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: in the Bronx, this illegal Dominican criminal that was shot
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: by ICE?
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: You look at, I don't look at the, I don't
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: give them any weight whatsoever. I don't care what Harry
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: Styles says about social issues. Does he sing a good song?
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: That's fine.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: But just shut up during your concert about social issues.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: That's not the platform for it. And you're just making
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: people feel uncomfortable.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: Natalie?
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 7: Well, I wasn't there for that one. I did go recently.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 13: I wasn't at that show. It was this past Saturday.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 13: I'm just, you know, hoping he comes out in shorts.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 15: See?
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 16: See?
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: I've proved my point.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 7: And unfortunately, the night I went was not a shorts night.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: That's pretty funny. I'm sorry. Well, he's still there. His
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: residency tour continues in Madison Square Garden. So wait with
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: bated breath, Natalie, for him to come out with his
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: BVDs and boxers.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: And please, if you have any pictures of Harry Styles
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: in shorts, send them.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: There's tons.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 5: Don't worry.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 2: They're all over my feed. All over your refrigerator, did
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: you say?
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 16: No, no, no.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 13: My social media feed. And I'm not going again, so
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 13: it's unfortunate for me.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: Now let's get some talkbacks. First of all, we're going
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: to talk about Kathy Hochul.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 19: I got my bribe from Kathy in the mailbox yesterday
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 19: for $ 100.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 14: I ain't voting for you, Kathy Hochul.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman all the way. I love that she called
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: her Hochul. She got her bribe, but she's not going
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: for it. We should all call her Hochul.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 12: Regarding your comments on the height difference between the two candidates,
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 12: it reminds me of when Trump stood behind Hillary Clinton
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 12: on stage behind her and stared her down. And it
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 12: was very dominant positioning. And Blake could have done something
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 12: like that if he didn't do it.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. He handled it well. He was a gentleman.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: He didn't lose his temper. He had the right tone
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: and the right position.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: Do you remember the most famous one when Al Gore
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: walked over and looked down at George W. Bush and
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: George Bush just laughed him off? He looked at him
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: and laughed and then walked away.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: I remember that. Meantime, let's get the news from Daria.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 10: Chance for a midday shower or maybe an afternoon shower today.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 10: We'll see a high of 78 degrees. Now, your parents
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 10: may have told you that people will judge you by
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 10: the company you keep. That lesson apparently was not lost
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 10: on the candidates for governor of New York.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 6: Zoran Mandami is an anti-Semite. You are campaigning around the
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 6: state with a guy who doesn't believe in American values.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 10: Republican Bruce Blakeman and Governor Hochul at last night's debate.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 3: Happened under your friend Donald Trump, who you are the
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 3: president of the fan club for Donald Trump.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 7: It's absurd how adoring you are of him.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 10: And if you want more of this, you are out
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 10: of luck because it's their only debate before the election.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 10: With less than three weeks to the midterms, President Trump
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 10: will be back out on the campaign trail today. He
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 10: starts the day in Las Vegas and then it's on
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 10: to Arizona and Montana. A Democrat who is running for
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 10: re-election in Georgia says he will not run for president
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 10: in 2028. Senator John Ossoff making the promise in his
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 10: debate last night against Republican Congressman Mike Collins. Well, the
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 10: city council has some questions for SpaceX and Elon Musk's
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 10: company has agreed to answer them or at least to testify.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 11: Council Speaker Julie Menon says Elon Musk's SpaceX AI is
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 11: set to testify Friday before the Council's Committee on Technology,
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 11: but every council member is invited to attend and ask questions.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 11: The agreement comes weeks after four other AI researchers and
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 11: industry leaders testified in front of a full council for
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 11: more than 10 hours, with Friday's planteering ending a subpoena
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 11: standoff between SpaceX AI and New York City. Lawmakers are
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 11: expected to ask SpaceX AI many of the same questions
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 11: they asked Meta, Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 7: Natalie Migliore, WOR News.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 10: Bob Leo is expected to spend the week in the
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 10: hospital as he recovers from surgery yesterday for lung cancer.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 10: The Rangers, the Islanders, and the Devils all win. Next news,
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 10: 9 o'clock bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710 WOR.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Daria.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: Congratulations to Lucio Nzinga from Bethpage, Long Island, who just
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: won a pair of tickets to see Journey October 25th
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: at the Prudential Center. Tickets on sale now at Ticketmaster.com.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: Another chance to win tomorrow at 825. Ilhan Omar is
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: in some trouble. It sounds like her home was raided
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: for a specific reason. And also, a lot happening in
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: Washington yesterday. We got a new press secretary. How did
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: she do? We'll talk about both next. When we're just
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: less than a month away from the midterm election, that
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: a sitting congresswoman's home is raided. But that's exactly what happened.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: The federal investigation... Happened in Washington, D.C. A federal investigation
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: prompted the search of Representative Ilhan Omar, D.C. residence on Monday,
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: with claims that she or her late father may have
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: lied on decades-old immigration paperwork to secure legal status and
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: eventually U.S.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: Citizenship.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 2: Here's what they're claiming happened, that he immigrated to the
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: United States and He got in, he got all his papers.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: If he can claim that he has a daughter that's
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: under 18, she automatically gets in. So apparently what they're
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 2: alleging is she was over 18 and they changed her
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: birth certificate and they changed all the application papers to
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: illegally get her into the country. So that's what the
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: raid was all about. But again, Curtis, there's so much
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: going on with Ilhan Omar. I can't believe that is
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: the end of that story or the end of an investigation.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: As with most investigations, they build. I think it's just
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: the key in the door. And they're hoping to find
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 2: a lot about the financial improprieties that have been written
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: about extensively, especially with this brand new husband.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: Remember her political consultant? who owned a winery, and then
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: it turned out there was no winery or it had collapsed.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many twists and turns to the
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: financial mess. I got to believe that now that they
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: are going to be subpoenaing the members of her family,
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: extended family, that they are trying to get access to
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: more information that would implicate her directly.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 2: And there's also, there's an allegation that she married her
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: brother to get her brother into the country legally. But
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: there are bigger, bigger allegations about her being involved in
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 2: the Medicaid fraud in Minnesota, where a lot of people
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: have already gone to jail for that. And a lot
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: of public officials are already being investigated for that. There
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: has always been a suspicion of that. But the big
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: one is going to be her personal worth.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: How come Tampon Tim... The outgoing governor has not spoken
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: up on her behalf. Oh, that's right. He decided not
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: to run for office again after running for the vice
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: presidency because he knew about all the Somalian Medicare, Medicaid
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: fraud and didn't do anything about it.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 15: Oh, no.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: He looked the other way because he wanted their votes.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: And also he wanted to be picked as the nominee
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: for vice president. And he didn't need a scandal that
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: was looming. So he hid all of that. But she,
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: I believe, is in some trouble. And she's come out,
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: of course, on social media. And she said, this is
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 2: all just political. They're doing this to try to have
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: me lose my seat. She's not going to lose her seat.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 2: I don't care what they find on her because it's
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: all Somalians in her district. And they're going to put
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: her back in over and over and over again. No,
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: there is definitely something there. There's way too much smoke.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 2: And the fact that she was hiding money, allegedly— in
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: her husband's businesses. So I want to remind you that
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: when she gave initial financial disclosures about her husband's businesses,
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 2: they listed the two businesses, one being worth $ 6 million,
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: the other one being worth $ 30 million. And then when
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 2: she learned there was an investigation, she changed them. $ 6
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 2: million went down to $ 18, 004. And $ 30 million, she changed
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: to $ 95, 000. And she said it was a clerical error.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: Probably how they taught her math in Somalia before she
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: came to America. She'll blame it on that. Meantime, though,
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: normally the White House press spokesperson would have been addressing
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: questions about that raid on behalf of, the Department of
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: Homeland Security, and the DOJ. And yesterday was the debutante
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: debut in that very important job for Katie Zachariah. Now,
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: I must admit, I didn't know much about Katie. I
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: know that she had been on talk shows before representing...
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: different points of view involving Donald Trump. I would say
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: after that debut, maybe she gets a chance to do
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: it all over again or go to boot camp. You know,
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: maybe Levitt can give it. I mean, it was horrible.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: It couldn't have been that horrible. It was so short.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, she just went out there and she got
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: a question from Peter Doocy and then she had to run.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: So I'm not sure how bad it can be. And
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 2: it was her first time. It wasn't horrible. It was
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: not horrible. It wasn't Caroline Levin, I'll say that.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: According to the Post, which is very friendly to the
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: Trump administration, and the one who's never involved any longer,
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: hopefully she's recovered completely from the breast cancer, Susie Wise,
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: you know, the chief of staff. She wasn't involved in this.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: But the president, before he went to Alaska, apparently prepped her.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: He said, talk about all my achievements first. Oh, announced
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: that Kimberly Guilfoyle will no longer be U.S. ambassador to Greece.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: So she spent eight minutes praising the president, which he wanted,
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: and just announced Guilfoyle. And he answered the question of Fox,
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: Breitbart and the Daily Mail. And that was it. She
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: had to go.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: And apparently you have to go.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: She was going to she went to Alaska. Oh, you
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: mean to be out of sight, out of mind? No,
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: with the.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 2: President of the United States. I don't know what you're
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 2: getting at. I don't know why you're saying. They were
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 2: trying to hide her, obviously, and put her out there.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: I got to tell you, her claim to fame as
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: a spokesperson was for Kristi Noem at the Department of
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: Homeland Security. Probably not the best choice. You've never seen
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: her before. I've seen her on TV. Yeah, she's on TV.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: She's great.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: She's wonderful. So listen, she had to get her footing.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: I'm sure she was nervous yesterday. Give her some time. Look,
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: when I was asking you about Mamdani for the longest time,
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 2: you said, I'm holding off. I'm holding off till, what
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: was it, Labor Day or Memorial Day or something? You
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: were holding off.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: Why don't you hold off with her? Let's give her
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: a couple times. She's got ruffles and ridges and must
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: smooth it out because she's She.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: Wasn't that bad.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, she was horrible.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, she was not that bad. I don't know
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: what you saw or why you're saying this. She wasn't
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: that bad. And I've seen her many, many times. She's
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: pretty good. I'm sure she's going to be she's going
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: to get her footing and she's going.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: To be just fine. I guarantee you Republicans knowing you
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: really need somebody solid with three weeks left to this midterms.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: We're not all that reassured by her first day.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: I think you're absolutely wrong. Nobody, nobody saw what you did. I, I,
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 2: did you watch it, Natalie? Did you see it by
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 2: any chance?
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, did you think she was horrible?
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 7: Oh no, I didn't think she was horrible. No, I
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 7: didn't think she was just, she was nervous.
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 2: She, she flubbed up a little bit near the end
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: of some answers, but, but you know, that was minor.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 2: It was, I think it was minor. I flub up
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 2: more in the show than she did on that.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't hang your support for her based on you
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: fobbing up. You don't want to go down that road there, Larry. Oh,
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. We may have to put you
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: in the talk radio boot camp after you said that.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: But anyway. You're an expert on this. I'm an expert.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: We love roller coasters. But Six Flags is closing nine
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: roller coasters after the death in Georgia and the many injuries.
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: One of them is a great adventure in New Jersey.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: Please don't close the Cyclone in Coney Island. That's all
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping for up next.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: This story out of Georgia at the Six Flags down
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: there is just horrific. And if you're thinking about going
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 2: on one of these hyper coasters at any of the
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: Six Flags, including the one in New Jersey, they have
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 2: all been shut down because they had a man, we
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 2: know his name now, Hassan Kareem, 42 years old, He
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 2: was thrown from a car when it unlatched. He was
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 2: up 900 feet in the air. There were some other
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 2: people that were injured as well, but he is the
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 2: only one that fell the 900 feet and died, and
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: there were a lot of witnesses. So many people saw it.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 2: One of the people that saw it said they looked
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: in his eyes as he was falling down, and he
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: was terrified. This is a guy, by the way, that
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 2: survived cancer, and just a month ago, He was in
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 2: a horrible car fire and survived that. And so now
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: he goes on this ride. And this is a series
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 2: of accidents right now with Six Flags and their roller coasters.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 2: There is an attorney, by the way, that's taking over
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: this case that was saying, you know, it's either going
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 2: to be something with the roller coaster itself and the
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: mechanics of the roller coaster itself. Or it's going to
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: be somebody who wasn't following procedure and didn't check the
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 2: belt and didn't check the apparatus well because it's supposed
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: to be inspected every single day. So this attorney has
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 2: already handled six other cases with six flags, and now
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 2: he is on this one. Uh, I feel horrible. Could
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 2: you imagine, could you imagine being thrown from a roller
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 2: coaster after trusting it was going to be safe?
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: Having been on the cyclone many times in Coney Island,
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: you almost feel when you're at the top of the
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: Epic arch and you drop down, you almost feel that way.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: And then you're happy that you were basically seat buckled in. Uh,
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: but on those extreme roller coasters, those are extraordinary drops. Um,
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: It may be that the time for the extreme roller
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: coaster is out because there have been a number of these. Although, remember,
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: I always remind our audience when we were growing up,
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: there was Traction Park, a.k.a. Action Park in New Jersey,
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: where if this had existed back then, It would have
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: been the featured ride. There were so many people killed.
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: There were so many people injured. Ambulances would wait outside
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: in western New Jersey and Sussex because they knew every
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: day there were injuries. And believe it or not, if
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: this were to restart, these roller coasters, these extreme roller coasters, Larry,
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: there would be lines to write, people who would want
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: to say, like bucking broncos, oh, I can handle it,
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: I can handle it. That's the way it was at
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: Action Park, especially males. They couldn't wait to go in
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: there and risk injury or death. And the lawyers, they
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: stood outside, you know, they were... They were signing up litigants.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: Didn't matter. Then eventually they went out of business.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 2: Remember when they put out, they put to death or
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 2: put to sleep the roller coaster that they had? It
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 2: was a special roller coaster in New Jersey and they
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 2: had a closing day and people were camping out to
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 2: go on that roller coaster and came from across the
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: country to get on that roller coaster for the very
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 2: last time. There are roller coaster enthusiasts that will travel
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 2: everywhere to go on these.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 7: Travel the world. Absolutely.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 13: I don't know what age I said roller coasters are
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 13: no longer for me. But there was a point where
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 13: I said, no, because I used to enjoy them. You know,
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 13: I had fun. And then I looked at them and.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 7: Said, what the heck am I doing?
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: Did you really have fun?
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 7: Probably not.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 2: No, that's the way I feel. I go on it
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 2: mostly because of peer pressure. And then you get on
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 2: it and afterwards you go, I wish I didn't do that.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 13: And waste an hour of my life online before I
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 13: got on the 22nd ride.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, I only wish. Remember the roller coaster at Seaside Heights,
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: which was washed out, but still you could see the
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: frame after Superstorm Sandy? I wish I had a chance
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: to ride it out there in the Atlantic Ocean.
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: Wow. That would have been super spectacular. That's quite a
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: belly flop. Anyway, tomorrow, tickets to see Journey at 825,
