Hour 2: Flock cameras · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: So, Larry, yesterday when we sent Natalie Migliore to the
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: streets to get reaction from New Yorkers about the Lindsay
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Clancy case, it was, I would say, a split jury.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: A lot of the people said, no, no, guilty as charged,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: send her away. Others, no, no, no, no, more sympathetic
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: or empathetic to her situation. But there is the one
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: jury that is most important. The nine women and three
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: men who are the main jurors, and then you have
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the alternates that are six in case any of them
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: get sick or they can't continue on so they'll eventually
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: get a jury decision, who at the end of yesterday,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: right towards the end, was saying, hey, judge, we're deadlocked
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: 23 hours. We've discussed this all different ways. We seem
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: not to be able to agree whether to convict Clancy
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: of the three counts of first-degree murder. So the judge
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: does in Massachusetts, they call it a Tui Rodriguez charge.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: In federal court, they have a different, they call it
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the Allen charge, where the judge then looks at the
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: jury in open court and says, I understand you have
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: your differences.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I've read your notes.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I've explained to you what the law has to do
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: with the questions you're asking. I want you to go
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: back in. I realize that some of you may be
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: leaning one direction or the other. See if you can
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: come up with a consensus.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: See, see.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Now, if this jury comes back again and says to
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the judge, sorry, we are deadlocked on these issues, then
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the judge may have to just dismiss them or send
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: them back in one last time with this, what I
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: call an Allen charge, and hope they can resolve their differences.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: And if they can't, hung jury mistrial, whatever you may
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: want to discuss it. Maybe it'll lead to a potential
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: plea bargain. But it just does seem at this point
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: after 23 hours, it doesn't seem like anyone has reported
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: that there's tension in the jury deliberation or they hear,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: you know, people yelling at one another, which sometimes happens
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: in court situations. But it does seem like they're In
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: a bit of a quagmire and not being able to come,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: because you've got to get 12.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Out of those 12 jerseys, you've got to get 12 up.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Even if one holdout, you remember what was that, 12
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Angry Men?
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: 12 Angry Men was great. Right, when Henry Fonda was
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: the holdout. All it takes is the one holdout. But
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: the one holdout convinced everybody else in 12 Angry Men.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, if you didn't see the movie by now,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: that's on you. Thank you. So I can give away
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the ending. So it is really fascinating to me. By
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: the way, in Massachusetts, you can only in some states,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: you can keep sending them back and keep sending them
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: back and keep sending them back. In some states, there's
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: a time limit. You can only keep them two weeks.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: In Massachusetts, you can only send them back two times
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: and that's it. Then it's over. Then you either have
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: to have a new trial or drop the charges. But
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I'm sure they'll retry this if it's a mistrial. Let
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: me just go through that. I'm sure you've heard this
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: a couple of times, but this is extremely important now
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: that we know that there is some disagreement in the
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: jury room. And I don't think we really know if
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: they're emotional. I don't think we know much about what's
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: going on in there. They very well could be yelling.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, somebody was there that wanted to throw in
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: the towel and say, you know, we're not going to
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: be able to convince this person or these people to
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: go our way. There may not be a majority. We
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: have no idea. It could, it could be six to six,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: but you know, in, in my mind, in my mind,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: it's like 10 to two or 11 to one. And
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: then there's some real holdouts. We'll find out where, you know,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: that's just, But me guessing, I guess that's hopeful thinking
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: that there are enough rational people on that jury that
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: want to convict her of a life sentence. But here
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: it is. So they can say not guilty. That can happen.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility is
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the other way they could go. And that way the
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: defense argues Clancy suffered from severe postpartum psychosis, which they
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: have throughout the trial, and that she couldn't tell wrong
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: from right. And I got a feeling- that is exactly
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: where the holdup is. Just from talking to people, and
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: especially women, saying, oh, no, I know what it's like. Yeah,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: but you didn't kill your three kids. Guilty of first-degree
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: murder without parole. Guilty of second-degree murder with parole. By
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the way, that would still be a life sentence, but
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: she could get parole. Also, guilty of manslaughter, which is
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: a lesser charge and would be less years. So the fact... Curtis,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: that they have so many choices, I think that's part
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: of the problem.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no doubt.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: If you take an easy pass approach to some of
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: these cases, sometimes it helps the jurors. The other benefit
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: is whoever they chose at the start of the trial,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: it's been 21 days of hearing 80 witnesses, so many
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: exhibitions that have been put in front of them in
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: terms of proving one.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Side or the other.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: That you would have thought that they rely a little
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: bit on the jury foreperson, because that's the person they're
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: saying we want them to be able to be the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: one to say guilty or not guilty, you know, when
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the judge says, have you reached a conclusion?
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: And like you said, we don't know. More of that
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: is probably going to come out.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I think as we go now towards the Labor Day weekend,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: oh boy, the pressure is going to be on. Because
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: some of these jurors are not going to want to
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: sit around. You know what's going to happen.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Well, they tried to end it yesterday.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: They tried to end it then. Here's what's fascinating to
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: me as well. That not only did they say, you
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: know what, we can't make a decision. And they were
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: sent back. Then they asked to go home a little
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: after 1 o'clock.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think that there's some real frustration in
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: that jury room. And that was like, that's enough. Let's
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: just go home. Think about this. and then come back
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: tomorrow and see if we can have an agreement. I
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: think there's unbelievable frustration, and it may just be with
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: one or two people, but again, we don't know any
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: of that. I can't believe they're not sequestered. Nobody wants
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: to pay for being sequestered anymore. None of the states
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: want to pay that. But if there was a case
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: that cried out for it, it's this one. I know
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: they're told every single time, You can't read anything. You
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: can't talk about the case. If anybody approaches you, you
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: have to tell them you can't even talk about it.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: But they all do. Of course. Of course.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Look, they all have cell phones. You can take the
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: cell phone away from them when they're in court. That's understood.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: But as soon as they are dismissed for the day,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: they get their cell phone back because so much of
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: their life is dependent on that cell phone.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: They see what's going on. You better believe they talk
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: You know, the rules no longer apply because of the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: massive amount of information that's out there. But I think
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: in this case, the prosecutor is hedging their bet a
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: little bit and they're all already discussing, look, we're not
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: going to bring this back to trial again. maybe with
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the same outcome. So let's see if we can get
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: them involved. If in fact, it's a mistrial or a
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: hung jury in a plea deal.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: This way we get rid of it because to have
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: to go through this again, and all the attention is
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: on their district attorney and the prosecution and obviously Plymouth rock, Massachusetts.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: And the money.
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: It costs, it's costly to have a trial like this.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of money involved.
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: So that, by the way, those are the three things
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: that can happen. They, They can either drop the charges altogether.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: They can make a plea deal or they have a
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: fresh jury in a new trial. The charges don't go
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: away just because they can't make a decision. The charges
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: don't go away. They would actually have to physically drop
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: those charges. Here's, here's what I'm hearing a lot of.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: I'm hearing a lot from women who have had post-mortem
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: depression and they can feel for her because they've been
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: through it. And, and, I've had conversations myself with people
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: in my family that have been so deep in postpartum
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: depression and have been afraid to talk about it. They
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: do go to a very dark place. And so there
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: are women out there now that see her as a
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: champion of the cause, which is really sick. But they
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: see it because they've had to hide what they've gone
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: through in the past. And now she's brought it out
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: into the open, how severe it can get. That's why
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: you see these women supporting her outside. That's why you
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: have women calling in to talk shows. And by the way,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: if you ever went through it, would love to hear
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: from you on a talkback. Go to the iHeartRadio app
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: and just leave us a talkback. But my problem is
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I feel for all those women. I think that's awful.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: And we should talk about it more. And we should
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: come up with treatments about it. And there should be
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: funding for treatments. This woman killed three kids. That's a
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: whole other story. I, there's no excuse for that. I
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: don't care how deep of a depression she got into.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: She planned this. She ran after one of the kids,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: the middle child. She ran after the son to kill him.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: She looked them at the face in the face. She
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: strangled them. And then she allegedly tried to commit suicide
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: by jumping out of a second floor window and cutting
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: her wrist, but not deep enough. You know, God, I
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: wish she would have been able to go ahead and
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: be successful with that. But there is no reason that
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: this person shouldn't be put away for life.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Well, it's going to obviously resolve itself very soon. Be
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: interesting when the jury is discharged. You know, some of
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: them can talk to the media. They all have an
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: opportunity to, if any of them will say what Natalie
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Magliore said, that some of her friends, the Gen Z
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: is just saying that they didn't like the husband.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: He was the first witness.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: They felt that in this trial, he was the worst
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: possible witness. Cause you know, he's fidgety. He was just, God,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: he was so cold and so indifferent. Patrick Clancy, who
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: now lives in New York City, is married, I guess,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: to a woman who is involved in the production of
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: frozen eggs or something along that embryos. You know, I
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: forget exactly what it was, but some people have said,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: you know, there may be a few doubts and that's
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: all you have to have is a juror doubt. reasonable doubt,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: and then the judge has told you you cannot find
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: that person guilty as charged.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: So who knows?
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: It could be a person. I really don't believe that guy,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Patrick Clancy. I didn't like him as a witness. I'm
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: really put off by him. Maybe he shouldn't have been
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: the first witness that you called up there. The husband
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: who may turn out when all is said and done
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: out of the 30, no, 80 witnesses they had to
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: be the worst witness of all. Larry, wouldn't that be
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: ironic if he turns out to have been out of
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: 80 witnesses called the worst witness of all?
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I will tell you what, there's no excuse if
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: this jury doesn't come back with a verdict and puts
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: this person away for life.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Well, anyway, up next, you saw that video, a guy
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: out in Staten Island struck by lightning, and he gets up,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: he took a lick in, and came back ticking, plus
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: a chance to see Air Supply at 825. Speaking of
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Air Supply, we have our iHeartRadio Music Festival presented by
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Capital One that is back on track, featuring live performances
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: by Benson Boone, the Goo Goo Dolls, Kenny Chesney, Laney Wilson,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: and more. September 18th and 19th at the T-Mobile Arena
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. That's two nights, one stage. While the
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: world is listening on iHeartRadio, you could be there three
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: chances every weekday for you to win your trip for
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: two plus $ 1, 000 spending money. Next chance to text and
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: win happens today at 9 a.m.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: On 710WOR. You know what the chances are of getting
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: hit by lightning? Less than one in a million.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: And yet some have been hit twice in their lifetimes
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: and survived. But boy, that guy on Staten Island the
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: other day.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: I know. Thomas Thommy of New Springfield. Man, he was
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: just outside. There was a thunderstorm. I think he was
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: trying to get things prepared. And out of nowhere, he
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: gets hit.
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: The initial sensations throughout my body was numbing, tinglingness, and
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: pain in both of my feet. I was beginning to scream, help, help, help,
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: because I was so confused, and I was so much
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: in pain, and I was very scared that I would
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: be struck by lightning again.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. He thought he'd get hit a
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: second time like the guy you were just talking about.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I was told as a kid my cousins would tell me, oh,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: we got to run under the tree until the thunder
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: and the lightning pass.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: It turns out that was the worst advice you could
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: possibly get. He was on Todd Hill Road when it happened.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: A neighbor took him in and cared for him. He
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: went to the hospital, and now he's fine. By the way,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: he's 24 years old. He's a staffer in Representative Nicole Meliotakis' office.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: This happened at about 4.30. First thing he did when
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: he got out of the hospital and he was checked up,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: first thing he did was he bought a lottery ticket.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Because what the heck? If you hit one in a million,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: maybe you can hit one in 250 million.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 13:37
  Speaker 8: And you know, Toad Hill is the highest point of
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: New York City, I believe.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: In all of New York City.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: And the other thing is they say, and I find
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: this impossible to believe, that once the thunder passes by
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: with the lightning, you see the last sort of points
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: of lightning, you should stay in shelter for 30 minutes
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: before going out again. I'm saying there's nobody who has
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: patience to wait 30 minutes unless you're really scared that
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: something may happen.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: That's just not going to happen.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Well, we just talked about ICE at the polls and
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: we had a bit of a disagreement about it. So
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: let's hear what our talkback say.
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: I absolutely agree with Larry. Having ICE at the polling
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: centers is a great idea. If our New Jersey senators
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: aren't going to support the SAVE Act, we need to
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: put a deterrent in front of those polling centers to
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: keep people who should not be voting away from trying
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: to vote and skew our elections.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: But as usual, there is people on both sides of
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: the issue. Larry, I am a lifelong Republican.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Having ICE at the polls is the stupidest idea I
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: ever heard of. Curtis is absolutely right on this.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: There you go. I completely agree.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think they're going to push this forward
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: because it'll be locked up in courts.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: You know that.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: It's on public ground. As long as they keep so
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: many feet away, they can go anywhere they want. They
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: can sit in their cars out front.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Larry, I completely concur with you. We should have ICE
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: agents at polling stations. Why not? Why not? What are
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: they afraid of? If you are illegal, then you shouldn't
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: be voting, period. So what's wrong with having an ICE
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: agent there? If you know that you're not illegal and
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: you're going there to vote, then you feel good because
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: you know that you're not going to get any illegitimate
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: votes being counted into our sacred elections.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Now let me go back to the argument that, or
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: the heated discussion, I should say, that Curtis and I
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: were having. He was absolutely right about independence. I did
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: go and check the polls, and the polls show that
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: the majority of independents voted don't want ICE at the
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: polling places. It's closer than you would think, but still,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: he was right. It's not the majority. However, 85%, and
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: this is in poll after poll, do not want illegals
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: to vote. So there would be some mixed emotions when
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: you have ICE out there. I just wonder how deep
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: they'll go with it. Now, you want to get back
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: to the toilet paper? Absolutely, because I believe in soft
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: toilet paper. You believe in scratchy, hard toilet paper. No, no,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: that's not exactly it. I think toilet paper is toilet paper.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: My butt can't differentiate.
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: In the military, we had John Wayne toilet paper.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Rough, tough, and it doesn't take crap off anybody.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 16:43
  Speaker 9: What it's like to be in construction in the 80s,
• 16:48
  Speaker 9: working in residential.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: You got to use a bucket and some napkins. Good
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: luck with that. Oh, that's awful. I've used napkins before.
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: No port-a-potties in the 80s?
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: What was going on?
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Newspaper.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: A lot of times, you know, not the New York Times.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: That was just too thick, too scratchy. But, like, the
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: New York Post or the Daily News or Tabloid, absolutely.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: And my mother remembers, you know, they had the outhouse
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: back then. She was the last of 13. You know
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: what they would wrap the fruit in? You know how
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: sometimes they have that little paper that wraps the fruit? Oh, yeah.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: They would put it on a nail. in the outhouse,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: and that's what you would use, my mother said. She goes,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, that was softer than the other kind of paper.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Somewhere, somebody just decided they weren't going to eat their pancakes.
• 17:40
  Speaker 10: I remember when there used to be debates online about
• 17:42
  Speaker 10: if someone took a photo and it had someone's kid
• 17:44
  Speaker 10: in the background, they didn't get permission, but they uploaded
• 17:47
  Speaker 10: it anyways, a parent would lose their mind, and society
• 17:50
  Speaker 10: would say, hey, if this happened in public domain, you
• 17:53
  Speaker 10: have no right to assume privacy. Now, There's flock for you.
• 17:58
  Speaker 10: The same people are losing their minds. I don't agree
• 18:00
  Speaker 10: with flock because police officers are tracking their exes. That
• 18:04
  Speaker 10: shouldn't be allowed to happen. But this technology is coming,
• 18:08
  Speaker 10: whether we like it or not.
• 18:09
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: And there's competitors to flock right now. And by the way,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: a lot of people are dropping flock and all they're
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: doing is buying their competitor because for some reason people
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: hate flock, flock, flock, flock, flock. That's become the issue.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: When do they find out that they're going to get
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: rid of flock, but they're going to be replaced by
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: something exactly the same way?
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Ah, up next, it's 7.30 and Daria with the news.
• 18:34
  Speaker 12: Morning, guys. A city storm emergency alert will continue through tomorrow.
• 18:38
  Speaker 12: We've got more heavy rain in the forecast, mainly tonight
• 18:41
  Speaker 12: and into Thursday, and that could lead to isolated flash flooding.
• 18:45
  Speaker 12: It was a night of renewed attacks on Iran, the U.S.
• 18:47
  Speaker 12: calling it retaliation for Iran, trying to put more sea
• 18:50
  Speaker 12: mines into the Strait of Hormuz.
• 18:52
  Speaker 13: The administration says progress is being made shipping oil through
• 18:55
  Speaker 13: the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump insisting overnight he is
• 18:58
  Speaker 13: no longer trying to force Iran back to the bargaining table, saying,
• 19:02
  Speaker 13: I couldn't care less if they sign a deal.
• 19:04
  Speaker 12: ABC's Lionel Moise. With the kids headed back to school
• 19:07
  Speaker 12: next week, Mayor Mamdani is expected to announce limits on
• 19:10
  Speaker 12: artificial intelligence and screen time for the youngest public school students.
• 19:14
  Speaker 12: Some parents and teachers groups, however, had asked for complete
• 19:18
  Speaker 12: bans on AI. Police want to know who damaged more
• 19:21
  Speaker 12: than 20 vehicles in Sheepshead Bay.
• 19:23
  Speaker 9: Neighbors woke up to their vehicles damaged Saturday morning all
• 19:26
  Speaker 9: within several blocks of each other. There were smashed windows
• 19:29
  Speaker 9: and windshields in Sheepshead Bay, but no reports of anything
• 19:32
  Speaker 9: inside stolen. Meanwhile, police think the same person may be
• 19:36
  Speaker 9: responsible for groping a woman in the area of the
• 19:38
  Speaker 9: damaged vehicles on 14th Street. I'm Scott Pringle, WOR News.
• 19:43
  Speaker 12: A short-term funding bill to avoid a government shutdown ahead
• 19:46
  Speaker 12: of the November midterms is headed to President Trump's desk.
• 19:49
  Speaker 12: The House passed it by a vote of 370 to 48.
• 19:52
  Speaker 12: The Senate has already signed off on it. The legislation
• 19:55
  Speaker 12: will keep the government funded through December 11th. Tiger Woods
• 19:59
  Speaker 12: is due in court today. There are multiple reports that
• 20:02
  Speaker 12: say the golfers had a change of plea hearing in
• 20:04
  Speaker 12: his Florida DUI case. It comes a month after he
• 20:07
  Speaker 12: was involved in a rollover crash. Yankees win, Mets lose.
• 20:11
  Speaker 12: Next news, 8 o'clock bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger
• 20:14
  Speaker 12: on 710WOR.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Well, coming up next, ma'am, we've been waiting to talk
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: to him, is tech expert Rich DeMuro. Because we've been
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: talking about flock, and now everybody is talking about flock,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: and now it has become one of the biggest political issues.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Rich DeMuro will find out if it affected the company whatsoever.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: That's coming up next. Get one. Well, as we've been
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: talking about, the flock issue has taken off to the
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: point where it's become a political issue right now. So
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: let's talk to Rich DeMuro. Rich on Tech is heard
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Sunday nights from 8 to 11 p.m. on WOR. And
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: you can see what he has to say and even
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: send him some messages on at Rich on Tech on Instagram. Rich,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: the flock issue has become a national issue. You have
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: now governors banning it in Florida and Texas. Many communities
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: are banning it and getting rid of it and canceling
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: their contracts. I spoke with a police chief yesterday who said, yeah,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: we had to cancel our flock contract. But then he said,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: so now we're going with Axon. which is another company
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: that does the same thing. And, and I guess some
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: go with Motorola, some will go with, I don't know
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: the other company it's for Kata, but it seems like
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: it's the brand that's getting all the attention, but people
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: aren't realizing they're just going to go with somebody else.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: Oh, absolutely. I mean, that's the thing. It's like this
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: technology is here to stay. In fact, you know, police
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: also operate cameras that are installed on their cars and
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: So when they're cruising down the street, you know, they
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: can identify license plates. I mean, this technology is not new.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: So Flock has become sort of the public, you know,
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: take all, end all. Everyone knows this brand name. And,
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: of course, not good for them. Or maybe it's good
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: for them in the future. But at this point, you're right.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: They're going to go with competitors. Axon, they're known for
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: the body cameras. They were very controversial years ago. They
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: survived that. Motorola, I mean, nobody even knows that they
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: make these cameras, but yes, they make a lot of
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: corporate solutions. Keep in mind, that's different from the Motorola
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: that we know for the phones. They kind of split
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: off a couple of years ago, and they do a
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: lot of these industrial solutions for law enforcement.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: But the reality is.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: Look, this is not going away anytime soon. I think
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: that flock is just taking a lot of the heat
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: right now. Have you seen this map, this dflock.org map?
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: I mean, this is pretty wild. It shows you a
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: heat map of all of these cameras nationwide. And you
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: can kind of scroll down or zoom into your community
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: to see exactly where these maps are located.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: And it's not just flock.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: It's all the different license plate reading maps or cameras
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: out there. So that's an interesting place to look just
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: to see how prevalent these cameras are across our country.
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: Oh, great.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Criminals can look at it and evade the cameras now.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: So that's great. They're just helping people that committed crimes.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: I actually think it's more of the other side of it.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: I think it's actually they're trying. I mean, look, we
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: know there's been some people that are trying to ruin
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: these cameras, take them down. I think that's more of
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: the intention of this website. I mean, clearly the website
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: is just there to inform people. But I think there
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: are some nefarious uses of this kind of information saying, hey, look,
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: look where these things are. Go out there in your
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: community and maybe mess with them if you want. We've
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: seen stories about that across the country. So I don't
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: think this story is going away anytime soon.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro, you mentioned how Motorola had a split and
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: their subdivision goes in a different way like burner phones, right?
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: You know, Motorola burner phones. You know whose birthday it
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: was yesterday, Rich DeMuro? The king of all burner phones,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: the former disgraced Mayor Eric Adams who had seven burner
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: phones on him. And apparently for his birthday gift, some
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: of his cronies were sending him more burner phones because,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: you know, basically every month you got to replace them.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Is that still the case with Motorola?
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: You can't have enough. No, you know, Motorola, look, they're
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: mostly focused on some of their real phones. Now they've
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: got some actually decent smartphones. I think when it comes
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: to burner phones, you know, Nokia has made a resurgence.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: You know, if someone has a flip phone, it doesn't
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: mean they're a bad person necessarily. It just means that
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: Maybe they don't want a smartphone. Maybe they don't want
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: all the tracking of a smartphone.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't know. But those things still have
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: a life out there somehow. Not for me. You know,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at Amazon right now at the price of
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: a pack of toothbrushes. In this one, you can buy
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: four for $ 12. You can buy three for $ 6.
• 24:50
  Speaker 11: 99.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: And you're going to talk about a toothbrush that goes
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: for $ 499 worldwide? What could it possibly do to make
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: it worth that?
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: This is not just any toothbrush. Obviously, you're familiar with Dyson. Well,
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: they came out with a $ 500, you can't even call it,
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: it's called a camera jet toothbrush. This thing has a
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: camera built into it. So it's basically an electric toothbrush,
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: a water flosser, and a camera all in one. And
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: so they basically said, you know what, the water picks
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: of the world, the electric toothbrushes of the world, they're
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: all terrible. So let's put a camera that can look
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: between your teeth, check for the plaque and fire this, uh,
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: you know, water stream to get rid of the plaque
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: in between your teeth. Not only do that, but it
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: also brushes your teeth with, you know, ultrasonic waves, but
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: then it also sprays a little mouthwash in there at
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: the same time. So I'll be honest. I want to
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: try this thing because it's been a while since my
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: standard toothbrush that I had been meaning to replace for years.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Has gotten an upgrade.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's a lot cheaper ultimately than a
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: trip to the dentist's office.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: To get it cleaned.
• 25:59
  Speaker 11: I have to ask, is there some kind of monthly
• 26:01
  Speaker 11: subscription that goes along with this?
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh. I didn't see any word of a
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: monthly subscription, but I would not be surprised if everything
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: has a subscription. But I love that. That's exactly what
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: I thought, Curtis. I said, you know what? I just
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: got my teeth cleaned. It's like 150 bucks, whatever it is,
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: after insurance. So I'll gladly pay $ 500 to not have
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: to deal with another cavity filling in my lifetime.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: But we'll see. I mean, this thing is, it's different.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: It's big.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: We'll see if this thing lasts the test of time.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: Sometimes these products come out you know, the first generation
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: because it doesn't really take off. They never come out
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: with a second one, but they've done pretty well with
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: their vacuums and other things. So we'll see how this
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: one is.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro, I try to force you to apologize to
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: me because I use MySpace and they're making a comeback.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: I want you to apologize to me because I am
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: probably the last guy to use MapQuest and I.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: See they're having a tremendous comeback.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: I apologize. Once again, you're right on AOL. Clearly, you're
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: right on MapQuest because it is the number one app
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: on the iPhone right now.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: People are downloading it because they refuse to change the
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: name of Lake Ontario to Lake America. They're the last holdout.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Apple Maps finally changed it.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: Google Maps was first to change it. And now people
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: are going there. And here's the thing. So I, doing
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: my due diligence, opened up the app today on the iPhone.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: And what else did I find?
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: Blockbuster Video. You can get directions to the locations there.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: Circuit City is still on there.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Radio Shack.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: No!
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: You're kidding me! I am kidding.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: But yes, I would not be surprised.
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: That would be great.
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: So all of you who made fun of me about
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: MySpace and then MapQuest. You know, these things come in threes.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: What's next?
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: AOL address? Do you have an AOL address? No.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: Come on.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Everybody has one. Get one of them.
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: We all have one.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: We just hide it. I'll tell you what. I'd love
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: to be Rich DeMuro. Rich DeMuro goes all around the country.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Do you go to Europe for some of these conventions,
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: by the way?
• 28:04
  Speaker 10: I do.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: I was in London a couple weeks ago. Yeah, for sure.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. He gets to go all these places.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: They treat him like a star when he gets there.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: They want him to try all his products. So you
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: were recently in New York. What did you see there?
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: So Sonos actually had an open house in New York City,
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: and basically they showed off. I love Sonos. This is
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: your whole home audio system. So they basically came up
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: with the idea. They said, you know what, we make
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: great speakers, but now we're going to kind of take
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: control of your whole audio in your home with a
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: new operating system. So they're calling it Sonos 27, and
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: it's going to mix not just better voice commands for
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: your speakers, so now you can control your speakers with
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: your voices. in a much easier way, just like we
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: do with AI, but they're also bringing AI into the mix.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: So if you're sitting at your computer all day on ChatGBT,
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: you can now control your Sonos system right from ChatGBT.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: That's interesting. They also came out with a new pair
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: of headphones that the first pair were great a couple
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: of years ago. These are even better. and then a
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: new sound bar that sounds amazing. I mean, I've had
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: Sonos for at least 15 years in my home, and
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: it's one of these products that, yes, they are very expensive,
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: more expensive than a Bluetooth speaker, but if you start
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: with one, you can add them over time, and the
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: speakers always work. I mean, I have speakers as old as,
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: you know, 10 years old. They still work fine. So
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: now they're just trying to bring them into kind of
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: the modern era with easier voice commands and more AI.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Very expensive, but do you get your Sonos for free?
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: I have gotten some for free in the past, yes,
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: but I have bought a majority of my systems. In fact,
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: my soundbar needs an upgrade. because I paid a decent
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: amount for that thing, but I've had it for 10 years.
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: That thing needs an upgrade. The new soundbar is about $ 700.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: And so I will either be testing that or buying
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: that myself, one or the other.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Well, it's good to be rich, DeMuro. You get some
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: of the stuff. Some of the tchotchkes. Rich DeMuro, Rich
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: on Tech, is heard Sunday nights from 8 to 11 p.m.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: on WOR. You can also see what he has to
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: say on Instagram, at Rich on Tech on Instagram. Rich,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: thanks a lot.
• 30:11
  Speaker 10: Thanks, guys.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Appreciate it. See you.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: And we just talked with Rich about the flock cameras
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: and all the flock, flock attitudes that are coming at
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: them fast and furiously. because of certain instances taking place
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: in police departments. From the headlines, there's a police officer
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: outside of Louisville, Kentucky. Prosecutors say he ran his ex-girlfriend
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: through the flock license plate camera network over 2,000 times.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: I ain't kidding you, 2,000 times.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Where she was, where she was going, where she slept,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: he was obsessed. He's been charged with official misconduct and
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: unlawful access to a computer, and that guy had a
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: badge and a camera network to do it, but... Here's
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: the part that should get all of you. A stranger
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: doesn't need either one. Your name is enough. They'll get
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: it from a data bank or from a people search site.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: And guess what? It's all legal.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: And they could be out of their mind. It doesn't matter.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: They pay a few bucks with a credit card.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: It's all theirs.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: And that's your info available to anybody with that credit card.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: And nobody gets arrested for buying that info from a
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: data broker. So you got to sign up to Incogni,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: as I've done. Let me spell it for you. I-N-C-O-G-N-I.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: You got to recommend it to family and friends. Put
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: up your own firewall. It's an online service that you
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: can trust. It might be a new name to you, Incogni,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: but this company goes after those data brokers, forcing them
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: to delete your personal information and then stays on their back.

  Speaker 1: to make sure that it stays off their websites. Incogni
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: keeps checking, so they can't quietly put it back. You

• 32:10
  Speaker 2: When we come back, Natalie Migliore with her beat on
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: the street. The city seems to love year-round outdoor dining.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: The restaurants seem to love year-round outdoor dining. But how
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: do the people feel? I got a feeling most of
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: them don't like it. We'll find out with Natalie and
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: her beat on the street next.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Now, it's 710WOR' s Beat on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Well, the city is excited and the restaurants are excited
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: because we're going to have year-round outdoor dining. But how
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: do people feel about that? You know, the ones that
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: aren't making any money on it. Let's get to Natalie
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Migliore and her beat on the street, Natalie.
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah, good morning.
• 32:53
  Speaker 11: Look, on a day like today, not sure if you
• 32:56
  Speaker 11: really want to eat outside when it's misting on your
• 32:59
  Speaker 11: morning commute and you could kind of feel the chill.
• 33:02
  Speaker 11: Larry making fun of me saying I'm cold this morning.
• 33:04
  Speaker 11: I have my jacket on.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: It's like a winter jacket.
• 33:07
  Speaker 8: No, it gets chilly in here.
• 33:09
  Speaker 11: But it comes after Mayor Mamdani signed a law making
• 33:12
  Speaker 11: year-round outdoor dining free. It amends the previous law requiring
• 33:17
  Speaker 11: eateries remove roadway dining, so setups in the road that
• 33:21
  Speaker 11: look like, you know, sheds in your backyard, by November 30th.
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: An array of opinions from New Yorkers.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: I love it. I'm all for the experience. I think
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: New York City deserves some outdoor experience.
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: I think it's great.
• 33:35
  Speaker 8: Yeah, more space.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: Sometimes the outside's better than the inside at some places.
• 33:38
  Speaker 14: I'm for helping the restaurants out to be able to
• 33:42
  Speaker 14: support their customers and the public. But it's a drag
• 33:46
  Speaker 14: when they're all back-to-back on the same block and there's
• 33:50
  Speaker 14: no parking. So there's got to be some kind of
• 33:53
  Speaker 14: balance that could be achieved.
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: Honestly, I'm kind of scared even eating outside in New
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: York at all.
• 33:59
  Speaker 11: Now, I typically see people chopping away alfresco with smiles
• 34:04
  Speaker 11: on their faces. But this New Yorker has deeper issues
• 34:09
  Speaker 11: with the setups.
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: Well, honestly, I think that's a big health risk. I
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: don't really agree with it because there's like a lot
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: of pollution here. Like it goes into the food and
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: that's what they're eating. Especially for some other people that
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: walk dogs, they don't pick up their dog's poop. So
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: it like stays on the street. And that's honestly not
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: really pleasing to look at. So it's like, how could
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: you eat and look out on whatever's on the street?
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: That's a good point. No, excellent point.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: By the way, you remember our last February where we
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: were in a deep freeze for like three straight weeks?
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Ain't nobody going to be sitting in those shacks having meals.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: And you have to leave them up for the year.
• 34:52
  Speaker 11: That's crazy. I already have my winter jacket on. Who's
• 34:56
  Speaker 11: going to want to eat outside then? Look, when it
• 34:59
  Speaker 11: comes to health risks, she may not be wrong. This
• 35:02
  Speaker 11: morning on my way in, I passed a guy sleeping
• 35:04
  Speaker 11: across three or four chairs in an outdoor dining setup.
• 35:08
  Speaker 8: I took a picture of it.
• 35:10
  Speaker 11: Think about who's going to sit there for lunch later
• 35:12
  Speaker 11: this afternoon if it clears up.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. I can't sit where the homeless guy sat.
• 35:19
  Speaker 11: But either way, drivers know where the dining sheds are
• 35:24
  Speaker 11: and what they need to beware of. I would say
• 35:26
  Speaker 11: around the universities is probably where there's most congestion.
• 35:29
  Speaker 8: And there's a lot of really nice cars in that area, too.
• 35:32
  Speaker 8: So parking between a Lambo or a Hellcat isn't easy.
• 35:36
  Speaker 14: It's reduced the number of spaces available, and when people
• 35:40
  Speaker 14: need to go and pick things up or go to
• 35:43
  Speaker 14: appointments or make stops, sometimes it can be challenging, especially
• 35:47
  Speaker 14: on some of the roads where there's only one lane,
• 35:50
  Speaker 14: and it can kind of block traffic with double parking
• 35:54
  Speaker 14: and everything. But I trust Mamdani. I think he can
• 35:57
  Speaker 14: figure it out. Fix it, Mamdani.
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 36:00
  Speaker 11: Mom, Donnie's answer to this is somewhat loosening regulations and
• 36:04
  Speaker 11: speeding up the permitting process for it.
• 36:06
  Speaker 8: So not sure how much he's really going to fix it.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Well, this is new shelters for the homeless. Let's face it,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: because that's what they're going to end up being used,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: just as you saw this morning.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: Think of it.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: If you were living out in the streets and you
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: see one of these shacks, you're shacking up in that shack.
• 36:23
  Speaker 11: At the height of COVID or when we were just
• 36:26
  Speaker 11: coming back and these things were still there, I saw
• 36:28
  Speaker 11: it all the time on the street.
• 36:29
  Speaker 8: And they put mattresses in there, too.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Well, anyway, thank you, Natalie. Same time, same place tomorrow.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: I see you'll be in Philly on the weekend. I'll
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: be in Philly Friday night. Maybe we'll talk about it
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: before the weekend.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, hush, hush, mosh, mosh.
