Highlights for Curtis and Larry · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, Larry, Natalie, our audience. What a Columbus Day parade
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: up Fifth Avenue yesterday. The weather couldn't be better. Tremendous turnout,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: especially from Jersey groups. An inordinate number. I'm there every year,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: so I get a pretty good idea who shows up.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: But a lot of Jersey groups, a lot of Jersey groups.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: And it was really, I think, in response to two things.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Last year, two weeks before the mayoral election, Team Cuomo
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: was assembling what would have been the largest contingent ever
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: for the parade. I mean, they had a lot of money.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: They were flush with cash, hiring people, Italian-Americans. They were
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: going to storm up Fifth Avenue. And they were surging
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: in the polls at that time, except Larry and Natalie,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: a tsunami hit. First time ever, the Christopher Columbus parade
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: was canceled. So everybody who had gone last year had
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: to pack up their bags and go home. So they
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: were like itching to be able to come out. And
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: now the fact that Zoran Mondami, who's done everything to
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: disparage Christopher Columbus, giving them the finger to the statue
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: near where he lived and represented Astoria, would not attend
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: any of the festivals, not even Italian heritage festivals. He
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: basically distant dismissed Italians. They turned out in force, not
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: only in the parade, but But along the barriers, because
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: normally it's a long parade. You start at 44th Street.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: You start going up Fifth Avenue. You pass St. Patrick's Cathedral.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: You go all the way up to 70th Street. And
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: for a while there, once you got past 59th Street,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: once you passed the Plaza Hotel, it got thin. The
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: crowd got thin. Not this time. The crowd was thick.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: And they were there because they wanted a vent. You know,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: wanted a vent against Zoran. Zoran wasn't there. So the
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: first groups that were marching up, you had Governor Hochul.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: She got booed along the way. Tish James, the attorney general,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: she actually got the most boos because, as you know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: her alone existence is to be the bane to Donald
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Trump prosecuting him. She's hoping in the future if a
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Democrat wins in 2028, she'll be selected. God forbid. The U.S.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: attorney general says she in her alone debate against the Republicans,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: she was bashing Trump. And then Tom DiNapoli, the controller,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: nobody booed him.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Nobody knew who he was?
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they know who he is, but he's been there forever.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Plus, he's a paisan.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Didn't applaud, really?
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Just.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, they were respectful. Oh, there he is. Okay, hi.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: They were respectful.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: But it was telling, because Zohan Nadia, his surrogate, is
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Governor Hochul, and so she had to deal with the
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: slings and arrows and the boos all along the way.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw it. I saw that part of it.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: You know what I saw? You know where I saw
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the parade and they showed the people being booed and
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: all that on CBS last night?
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I saw it on CBS. You know who else was on?
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Who's that?
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Hey, where's the mayor? The mayor should be here. All
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: parades matter. See, that was my tagline in the first
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: debate between Cuomo, Zora, and myself at the end of
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the debate. Zoran would not commit to going to festivals
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: and parades. And I tagged that line at hashtag all
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: parades matter.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: But right off the bat, you led the beast. That
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: was it. They threw to the video. That's what came up.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: If Cuomo had been there and he's been MIA, you know,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: he's busy. Just paid $ 10 million in cash for his
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: mansion out next to Fredo, Chris Cuomo out in the Hamptons.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: He doesn't even hang out in New York City anymore.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: So I was the go-to guy. And boy, what a
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: great reception in the parade. You see, I waited in
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the beginning. Once every entourage passed through, the politicians, then
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: obviously the cultural groups. That's how I knew how many
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Jersey groups, you know, from Garfield and Bloomfield and you
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: name it. Every field in New Jersey was represented by Italians.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: It was really good. And they're big listeners, Larry, big
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: listeners to WR. And again, I also used it as
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a focus group because I didn't walk until the last contingents.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: And so it gave me a chance as people were
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: coming up, you know, taking pictures, telling me how they
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: had abandoned WABC because they were saying also, Gee, you know,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: if I wanted to listen to what's going on in Israel,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to be listening to WABC. You guys
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: are great. You cover all the issues. And they were
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: going on and on. And they liked the fact that
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: sometimes they throw a little Italian in, a little Bades in.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: It was really a good day for WOR. We had
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: our own Matt Lee interview. Natalie Magliore, she was out there.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: We're going to play her cutbacks. Got so many Natalies here,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: it's confusing. There's so many Natalies. And then Nadia Comaneci
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: doing the news. That's confusing to me. All these Natalies. See,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: you got to be careful because my wife's name starts
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: with N, Nancy. That's right. And I can't mention any
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: of you women. As a mistake, the worst thing you
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: could do with your wife. Call her the wrong name? Well, yeah.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: One of your exes or any, like, well, who is Nadia?
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Who is, what?
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Nadia, who is Nadia?
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, who is Nadia?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Nadia Comaneci, a gymnast from Romania. Remember, she won gold medals.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: A crush on her when you were a kid or something?
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know. That name sticks out.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I didn't mean to laugh, but I had never heard
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Natalie before.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: That was the first time. You've messed up her name
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: a bunch, but never heard Natalie.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: But she was out there working the crowd, doing a
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: good job. We'll hear from her at 754. But I
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: got to tell you, it was such a great day
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: of Italian pride and Italian culture on view. Not so
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: much talk about Columbus. You know, Christopher Columbus, he had
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: like a mixed card, but more about contributions of Italian Americans.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Over the years.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: So I was proud to be representing 710WOR. And man,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: we were getting a lot of positive feedback as people
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: were very disturbed with WABC because all Israel, all the time,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you know, Islam versus Jews, mandami to terrorists, sort of
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: tied to that. So they're coming on over. And it's
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: been proven in the ratings. And coming on over, that's
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: another good sign. Another great focus group.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's wonderful. You know, Mamdani really confuses me. There's
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: a cockiness about this guy. Like, he doesn't need certain people.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's the attitude he seems to have. He
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: seems to have, I don't need them. They didn't elect me.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I don't need them. I'll win re-election without them. Which isn't–
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: when you're mayor, when you become mayor, you've got to
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: put that aside. When you become mayor, you've got to
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: represent everybody. And if this is important to them, it
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: should be important to you. And kudos– I've never said
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: this before. Kudos to Kathy Hochul and kudos to Letitia James.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: They knew they were going to get booed. They knew it,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: and they still marched. Yeah, they smile, and they act oblivious.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: What I don't like is all the politicians now most,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: they have a rope in front of them. You know,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: they have police with a rope, so you can't even
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: get near them, which is ridiculous.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, a rope? Come on. This is the Columbus
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Day Parade.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Didn't Hochul have a rope?
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: She had a rope. You know who started this? Eric Adams,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: for some strange reason. He had a rope, and now
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: they're all doing the rope.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: It looks weird.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: So what goes on? Two people hold two ends of
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the rope and kind of walk along with her.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Have you seen this?
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: No, I have, but I just want to describe it
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: to people, for people who haven't seen it.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: It's not meant to keep crazies out. It's meant to
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: keep Larry journalists like yourself away from them. They don't
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: want to be bothered having to answer questions while they're
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: being booed.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Well, the funny thing is the rope is right on them.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: They keep moving with the rope, so it doesn't really
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: keep anyone away. So if you've noticed during the parade,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: reporters kept going up, and they still needed people to
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: push them away. The rope doesn't do a thing. It
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: just looks silly. You look like barn animals.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Did you ever see those big.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: inflatable bubbles that you could go into and you roll
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: in it. They should just put them in the big bubbles.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: They could just roll through the parade.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I would go. If they wouldn't do that, I would
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: go to the Columbus parade.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: The best one.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Waving.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: In its last four years was Comrade Bill de Blasio,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the part-time mayor, the dope from Park Slope, was smoking
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Maui Waui and Hindu Kush at night. Part-time mayor. Didn't
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: get up until like, uh, 10.30, 11 o'clock, went to
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: do a workout at a YMCA in Park Slope, even
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: though he was in Gracie Mansion. Lucky if he put
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: in six hours a day. He speaks Italian well. His
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: mother is from Provincia in the north there. So he's
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: got the roots. The only problem with him is he
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: did something that trumped it with Sarah Palin. When Sarah
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Palin became the vice presidential candidate of John McCain, unexpectedly,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: She came right to Times Square in Familia, which is
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the big chain, pizza chain. It's owned by Albanians. They
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: provided pizza, and Trump was hosting her. Sarah Palin ate
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the slice the way you're supposed to. You know, folded it.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Trump ate it with a knife and a fork. like
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: de Blasio did when he went to Goodfellas on Highland
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Boulevard in Staten Island. He said, well, we're from the north.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: We eat it with a knife and a fork. But truly,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: he had Italian roots. Last four years, he marched in
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the Columbus State Parades. He got booed unmercifully. He deserved it.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: He was oblivious, waving as if he had no idea
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: what the middle finger meant, what all the Italian curses meant. Yes,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: we're number one.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, we're number one.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: But you got to show its part. In fact, remember recently,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: when Zoran was booed at that night memorial on October 7th.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Remember the friendly Jewish group that invited him there and
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: then the pro-Palestinians came and booed him. Remember when he said, well,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: you know, that's what I signed up for. Exactly. When
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: you sign up and you're the mayor... You've got to
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: try to be at all these festivals and parades, if
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: at all humanly possible. But he has figured out Italians
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: used to be 14% of the population in the five boroughs.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Most of them now are in Staten Italy, Staten Island,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: where Natalie was from. Now they're only 6% of the vote.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, so it's not a big voting group. Yeah, and
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: they're not going to vote for Zola. How pathetic is that?
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Go to the iHeartRadio app and leave us a talkback.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: You can talk about anything we're going to be talking
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: about through the day. You could win a Curtis Lewa
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: and Larry Menti in the morning t-shirt. That's going to
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: be awarded each day to our favorite talkback of the morning.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: While you're on the free iHeartRadio app, this is important.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Remember this. It's going to make life easier for you.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Be sure to set a preset for 710WOR. And don't forget,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: the best talk back of the week takes home a
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: C-Crane radio. And I'll tell you what, Curtis is going
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: to be really excited about this next story. Remember we
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: had that rare barn owl up on the west side,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: on the upper west side? Remember that? Well, now there's
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: a whole family of them. A whole family of these
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: rare owls.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, isn't that amazing? I don't know their names. Plus
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: a chance to see Journey at 825.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Curtis Lewa and Larry Minty.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: In the morning.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: The conversation continues. On 710WOR. There he is every night,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Monday through Friday. You got to be listening to Jimmy
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Fallon here. 710WOR, 9 to 12. You go to sleep
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: with Jimmy, you wake up with Larry and me in
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the morning at 6. But Jimmy, I'm concerned about you.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Because I saw what happened at Tallarico when he came
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: to New York City yesterday. September 28th, 2019. He was
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: right here.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: He was at.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Power 105, you know, Charlemagne the God appealing to the
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: black community in Texas. And then he came down with
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the flu and he was out for 10 days. I
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: said to you the last time, you are the busiest
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: guy in show business. Jimmy, I will sit here in
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: this studio. I will hold your hand tight as you
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: get your flu shot because we don't want you to
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: miss doing a doubleheader in Sandusky, Ohio and wheeling West
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Virginia the same night and then coming back and doing
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: all your appearances on the Fox News channel.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: I can't tell if you're taking shots at me or
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: you're taking shots at my agent. But I will have
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: you know, Curtis, me and my bubonic plague you've just
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: diagnosed me with. are down in, I was in Clearwater
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Beach this weekend. I just wrapped up two hot sold
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: out shows, by the way. And I may or may
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: not be filming an episode of Bar Rescue. But the
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: one thing I will tell you about you and your
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: vaccine and all that other jazz is I got hoodwinked
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: once by one of these. I got the Johnson and
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: Johnson during COVID. But what they didn't tell me is
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: it was Magic Johnson and Keyshawn Johnson.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: And now I'm in a whole world.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: So I don't.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Know what to do. I don't know what to do.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: It's just nice to hear your voice from down here
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: in Florida.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's talk about Telerico for a second because I'd
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: like to get your opinion as what happened. And in
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: the MAGA world, in the conservative world, there are a
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: lot of rumors going around that he had to get
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: mental health checked, that he tried to commit suicide. that
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: it was a sexual disease that he had, and he
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: had to get treated. We didn't hear from him for
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: two weeks. What do you think it was?
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: Well, it's concerning, okay? Because the guy disappeared for two weeks.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: He's not even in the Senate, and he already thinks
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: he's Mitch McConnell. You know, you gotta keep these guys
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: in check. But in truth, there was some type of exhaustion,
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, is my guess. He's calling it the flu.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: The guy might have been burned. I don't have the
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: honest answer, but What they did, which is interesting, if
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: you know how political ops work, is somebody tipped off
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: a conservative influencer that he was being treated in.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: This Ohio healthcare facility.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Somebody then went and recorded a phone call that may
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: or may not have been with the actual facility. But
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: the point is that kind of tip is usually given
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: to somebody who's not trying to help the Republicans, he's
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: trying to make them look bad. Because everybody goes out,
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: runs the story, and then the Democrats go, see, it's
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: not true.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: The clinic said he had nothing to do with them.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: And in theory, that puts the story to bed, at
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: least from the mental health angle. But the truth is,
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: we don't know that he wasn't treated. We just don't
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: know that he was. So you're supposed to just show
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: a little more restraint. But I just think this is
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: where we are now. It's not good. We live in
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: this maximum strength Tylenol world. where everyone is dealing in absolutes,
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: and nobody has any idea. That's what I find so
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: fascinating about this. Even the Ilhan Omar thing, okay? Everybody
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: was like, Trump is fascist, whatever the hell this is.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Those warrants were signed for under Joe Biden, okay? It
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: did not start under Trump, okay? And we should be
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: concerned that we've got a congresswoman who met her husband,
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: matched with him on a dating app called Ancestry.com, okay?
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: That's concerning.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Wait a second. Ancestry.com. Now, which husband was it? Was
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: it her brother? Was it the first husband?
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: That's what I was going for with the Ancestry. See,
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: I missed that.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: That went right over my head.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: How many of those shots have you taken?
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Well, I would have held.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Do you have a vaccine injury? What's going on?
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I would have held Tyler Rico's hand if he would
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: have gotten the vaccine when he was up here. But
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I want to take you to Ohio, the Buckeye State.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: The president's been acting a little strange of late. You know,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: when he met with Zoran, he said, boy, this is
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: a handsome man. And then he's on the stage, packed
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the audience, and he's looking at the sitting senator who
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: replaced J.D.
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: Vance.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: And he goes, you know, Husted, I knew you were
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: a great athlete. I was staring at your ass. What
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: the hell was that about?
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing, man.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: He needs the gay vote as much as the straight vote.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: All these votes count the same, Curtis.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know what you're talking about here.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: He's just out there trying to boost some guy's poll numbers.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Hey, much like Trump, you've performed around the country. You've
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: been to all these red states like Ohio and Iowa
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: and Texas. I don't know if you've ever been to
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Alaska to perform, but You know, Alaska is one of them, too.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Do you see any chance of them really going blue
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: for a Senate seat?
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: I don't think so. But this is the big problem.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: It's always, you know, obviously turnout, but like.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Paxton is not a good candidate, man. And Republicans will
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: tell you that too. It's like, you know, Tallarico's nuts, okay?
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: And we know that.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: But it's not like Paxton is this slam dunk guy,
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: just the same. So that race, nothing would shock me. Ohio- Man,
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: that is where my wife is from. And that state
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: is all over the map right now. So it's weird.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: But when I'm on the road, there's one thing I'll
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: tell you, okay? Is they're never talking about what the
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: media is talking about. Meaning they're talking about bills, safety,
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: human issues. And the media is focused, it's a lot
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: of sensationalism. Like last night at the Trump rally, a
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: protester got thrown out, it was crazy. that'll get a
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: lot of airtime today, but nobody will vote based on that.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: So I, I, you know, I'm upfront enough to say,
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: I don't know, you know, that I guess is the
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: best answer I can give you.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: You mean the guy, he said, you need a diet.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: That guy?
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Which was a girl, by the way. Okay, I'm pretty sure.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: How do you know? How do you know for sure?
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Listen, man, in this day and age, you don't.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: But she did look like her pronouns were cat and lady.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Well, the offer is still available. I would be more
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: than happy to sit with you in the studio, hold
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: your hand real tight. Oh, real tight. While you get
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: that flu vaccine, I don't want to see you down
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: for the count. You're the busiest guy in show business.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I love this show because one of you is like, hey,
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: why is Trump talking about this guy's ass? And the
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: other is like, I want to hold every guy's hand.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: In this city.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I love this show.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: It's my favorite show. It's just the best. You just
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: really don't know where it's going to go.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: All right, Jimmy. Hey, congratulations on the sellout for the
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: WOR show. That's great.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're pumped up for that. Kachina Calandra, it's going down.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: I've already lied to the wardrobe department and said I
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: was out of town so they don't find me eating
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: bread in New Jersey.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: So I think we're pulling the goalie. It's going to
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: be a big night.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: By the way, has Natalie been sending you those snapshots
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: early of the loaves of Italian bread?
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: We better hang up before I text her a picture
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: of my cannoli.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: It's not getting good over here. Wow, that sounded horrible.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: That just sounded awful. All right, thanks a lot, Jimmy Fallon.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: Love you guys. Be good.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Curtis Sliwa and Larry Minty. They're better together. On 710WOR.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: You probably know the actress Selma Blair, right? She was
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: big early 2000s, especially. Movies like Cruel Intentions, Legally Blonde, Hellboy,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: The Sweetheart. Thing. For a while there, she was on
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: quite a roll, but she hasn't had a big movie
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: now for a while. Well, she was on a flight
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: coming from Los Angeles to New York's John F. Kennedy Airport.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: And she had an incident. And the only way you
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: can describe this is she went crazy. She apparently tried
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: to open the door to the airplane. She was fighting
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: with the passengers and she was screaming. And I'm going
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: to play you something that was recorded within the phone,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: by a phone within the airline. But I want you
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: to please get your volume control in your hand just
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: in case, because this is really hard on the ears.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Here you go.
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: You can hear the alarm going off in the background,
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: and that is her having a fit as they try
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: to contain her.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: And as they came into JFK, air traffic control called
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: ahead to make sure that there were police there and
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: medical personnel.
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: We'd like to have some medical personnel at the gates
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: for a couple of the FAs involved in the passenger incident.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: They just need to get a couple things looked at.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: Okay, I will pass that along.
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: Just get an estimated station count for me, please.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: How many ambulances will need?
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: No ambulances, just some medical personnel available for two flight
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: attendants at the gates should be fine.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and there were some severe problems with a couple
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: of people. As you said, they don't need an ambulance,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: but people had to get stitches from a human bite.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: And also somebody was slashed.
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: The abusive passenger, did that result in the two flight
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: attendants that are requested paramedics? Yeah, one flight attendant and
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: one passenger that sustained some minor injuries, a bloody nose
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: as well as some bite marks.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Some bite marks, but she did break skin. Here's what
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: you should know about her. By the way, she's already
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: been charged. She already appeared in court, and she's been
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: let go on her own recognizance. But here's what you
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: should know about her, which I didn't know until today.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: She has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. And that's, as
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: you probably know, an autoimmune disease that affects the central
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: nervous system. She publicly revealed this in 2018, but it's
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: been afflicting her all her life. Now, I don't know
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: much about multiple sclerosis. Maybe you do, Curtis, or maybe
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: some of our listeners do. But does it cause you
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: to do this? Does it cause you, if it affects
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: your central nervous systems, to react like this? Because I
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: can't figure out what was going on with her.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: No, I think the most recent case of MS, I
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: stand to be corrected, wasn't that Janice Steen who had
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: to leave as the weatherwoman of the Fox News channel
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: in the mornings as a result of her continued problems
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: with MS, her physical disability. Now, to her credit, she
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: turned that diagnosis into... becoming an advocate for disability rights.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: But she also had had a problem one time taking
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: a flight down to Cancun, where she got out of control.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Not to this extent. This is real. I mean, imagine.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: You're trying to open up a door mid-flight from LA
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: to JFK on a Delta flight. You open that door
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: by any way you were able to do that. You're
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: causing potentially mass casualties. And then, as you heard, screaming
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: and out of control. But in that flight to Cancun,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: she had gotten out of control, nowhere near as bad
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: as this, but blamed it on mixing alcohol with drugs.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: So I think it's probably a combination of issues. But, boy,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: she's in serious need of help. She jeopardized an entire
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: flight and attacked the flight attendants who were trying to
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: get her under control. punching out a passenger, biting a
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: flight attendant, screaming, yelling, clearly beset with all kinds of
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: mental issues. But I'm wondering, was it triggered by possibly
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: alcohol and drugs?
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Well, here she went to Queens Criminal Court, two counts
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: of second-degree assault, and this is what her defense attorney said.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Sean Barnes is the defense attorney. He emphasized that the
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: actions were entirely non-intentional, explaining that Blair had hopped on
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: the flight after extensive and grueling hours on a film
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: set and had missed several critical doses of her medication.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: So I don't know what that means. Maybe somebody out
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: there who has dealt with MS before would know if
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: it would cause this type of reaction. But what he's
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: saying is she was off her meds.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if that was for MS. Most
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: times people who have had MS, if they don't have
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: access to the meds or if they've been off the meds,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: basically it destabilizes them, not in a capacity where they're
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: mentally reaching out, but like physically they can't do anything.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. It's like I'd go back to
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: that Cancun situation where, She sort of gave a preview
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: of how she might behave under the influence of mixing
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: alcohol and drugs. And you know on flights, she was
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: probably in first class. They're going to give her whatever
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: she wants to drink.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: I think it's also interesting that there's some claims that
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: she was mixing alcohol with the drugs, assuming that she's
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: taken those drugs for MS. And then her lawyer immediately
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: says she wasn't on her drugs. Somebody got the wrong story.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: To be honest. Continued, but obviously this woman is in
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: serious need of help. Boy, she could have taken down
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: that whole flight.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.
