Hour 1: Dolly Parton Day · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We will be getting to the great meteorologist Ray Stajic
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: in about two minutes, so he can give an extended
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: forecast for what you can expect. But most importantly, right
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: now it is September 25th. That is 925 Dolly Parton Day.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Nine to five, Dolly Parton Day is being celebrated across
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the country. You are encouraged to wear pink and rhinestones,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: which Curtis is doing right now. Thank you for celebrating.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: There ain't no damn way I'm wearing pink and rhinestones.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Why not?
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Three snaps up. I mean, you know, what do you think?
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be a drag queen today dressed as
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Dolly Parton?
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, come on. Maybe put two soccer balls under your shirt.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Oh, geez.
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: We just took the nicest thing and just threw it
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: down the gutter.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: That's not the gutter. She was blessed. Are you kidding me?
• 1:05
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to be looking like Christine Noem's husband.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: You remember him with the false mammary glands. Dolly, I'm sorry.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: What a freak.
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: But anyway.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Now he'll look okay today. He'll be celebrating.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: The point is, it is a great day. Celebration. I
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: wonder if her extended family and all of her financial
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: advisors are going to be celebrating because they seem to
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: be at war already.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: They are at war. But let's put that aside for
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: a second and just celebrate the life of Dolly Parton
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: like they're doing across the country. In Nashville, they're making
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the lights pink. They're putting up giant posters. In New Orleans,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: they're doing the same thing. In Manhattan, what they are doing,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: they called it Dolly Parton Day. The borough president came
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: out and it's officially Dolly Parton Day. And he is
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: encouraging people. And this is really a good idea. If
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: you can't really go out and do anything, if you're
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: not going to wear rhinestones today or anything like that,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: just take a moment to either donate a book or
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: donate some money to Imagination Library. You can find the
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: site online. And that's a really nice way to honor
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: her legacy. In Staten Island. What are they doing in
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Staten Island?
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, gosh.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: There's an organization called Musicians on Call, and they're going
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: to hospitals all over, including Staten Island University Hospital, to
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: perform for patients in the hospital.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: It is wonderful.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I love that. It is wonderful. It makes me almost
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: want to dress up in drag like Dolly Parton today
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: with pink and rhinestones. I love it.
• 2:38
  Speaker 7: 925.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: To tell you the truth, today is my anniversary, and Oh,
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: happy anniversary.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: So, you know, I've celebrated for many years. I never
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: thought of 925 on September 25th.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: It never even occurred to me.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Which anniversary is it? Is it an important one?
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: It's 27.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, coming up on 30.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That's pretty damn good. I think all my marriages combined,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I don't think, equals that.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: What was your longest anniversary? Of course. They end up,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: you know, seven-year itch, but I never itch. And then
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I would say it's like within 10, 11 years.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: 10, 11 years?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden it goes south. But
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: not this one. This is the keeper with Nancy. But meantime,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: speaking of Nancy.
• 3:21
  Speaker 8: Wait a second.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: One more last question. Yes. Most importantly in your relationships,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: what was the longest on-air relationship?
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Well, that was with Lisa in the morning when I
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: did Angels in the Morning at WABC. So that was
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: three years until we both got fired together. Three years.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: How romantic. Oh, no, that led to the demise of
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: our relationship. Talk radio will do that. That's why I
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: had to consummate and make sure this relationship was solid
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: with me and Larry after the shit-off that Tom Cuddy did. Meantime, Nancy,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: as you know, loves Central Park, and she loves going
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: to the iHeart Global Citizen Festival every year because she
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: lives in Central Park morning, noon, and night. And even
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: though we're going to hear from Ray Stajic about the
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: gloomy forecast in the The iHeart Global Citizen Festival will continue.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Bring your ponchos. iHeart is one of the proud sponsors
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: of what is really a major event. You've got some
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: of the biggest stars in the business who will be
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: performing for all the right causes. So if you were
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: intent on showing up, show up. Just bring your poncho
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: just in case. So now let's get to the great
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Ray Stajic, the best meteorologist. So this is the forecast
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: you need to listen to. He has been honing it
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: over the last couple of days. He hemmed and hawed
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: a couple of times. But now he's got it down. So, Ray,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: what can we expect today?
• 4:40
  Speaker 8: Yeah, from where we were yesterday, gang, we are a
• 4:43
  Speaker 8: little further west. I think everybody's probably heard that. And
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: it's more of a slow movement and kind of the
• 4:48
  Speaker 8: retrograde toward the west and kind of sitting around for
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: a little while out over the western Atlantic that's going
• 4:54
  Speaker 8: to make this a long duration. I'd go moderate impact event.
• 4:59
  Speaker 8: That's what the National Weather Service is saying. So we've
• 5:01
  Speaker 8: kind of ticked up the language a little bit more
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: from yesterday, thus saying The Weather Service has put out
• 5:06
  Speaker 8: the wind advisory. That includes all five boroughs, parts of
• 5:09
  Speaker 8: southeastern New York. You get into Westchester, Rockland County, Long Island.
• 5:14
  Speaker 8: I'm actually surprised there's not a high wind warning for
• 5:16
  Speaker 8: eastern Long Island, but we should start seeing the winds
• 5:19
  Speaker 8: picking up as we head through tonight, tomorrow, and tomorrow night.
• 5:22
  Speaker 8: Good gusts, 40 to 45, even here in.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: And around the city.
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: 50, maybe 60 mile per hour winds the further east
• 5:28
  Speaker 8: you go out onto Long Island. Strongest winds again as
• 5:32
  Speaker 8: we go through tomorrow and tomorrow night. And then the
• 5:34
  Speaker 8: rain element, the rain will start picking up again, same
• 5:37
  Speaker 8: time as about the wind as we go on through
• 5:39
  Speaker 8: the day. Second half of tomorrow into tomorrow night, winds
• 5:43
  Speaker 8: could be gusting again or the rain could be falling
• 5:45
  Speaker 8: a moderate to even heavy at times. And we could
• 5:47
  Speaker 8: see about one to three inches of rain. There'll be
• 5:49
  Speaker 8: about three to five as you continue to go east
• 5:51
  Speaker 8: into Suffolk and Nassau and Suffolk County. So there'll be
• 5:55
  Speaker 8: heavier rain, maybe a problem with some localized flooding. And
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: then you've got the coastal flooding. It's already occurring. And
• 6:00
  Speaker 8: I really think it's going to be the beaches that
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: are continuing to get chewed up right now down along
• 6:05
  Speaker 8: the Jersey Shore and the South Asian beaches of Long Island,
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: Jones Beach, for example, Long Beach. These are all areas
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: that have already seen flooding, already seen significant beach erosion.
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: I think we're going to get more of that, too. And,
• 6:18
  Speaker 8: you know, it's not like it's been any tree even
• 6:20
  Speaker 8: out ahead of this thing. It's not even been developed
• 6:22
  Speaker 8: so far. We're seeing numerous areas already underwater down in
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: the Outer Banks, 12's closed. It's basically washed out. Very
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: popular highway down there. And the storm's just developing. So
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: this is going to be a long-duration event battering the shore.
• 6:38
  Speaker 8: Gusty winds, rainy, probably through Saturday, Saturday night, and even
• 6:42
  Speaker 8: into a good chunk of Sunday.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: So wait a second. You're saying also not only may
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Saturday get wiped out with rain and wind, but Sunday too?
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Sunday may end up being a little bit worse
• 6:54
  Speaker 8: than I think it was yesterday because we got this
• 6:57
  Speaker 8: little retrograde back toward the west. And it's not going
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: to be a fast moving system, too. Most of the time,
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: I would say most when you get these nor'easters coming in,
• 7:06
  Speaker 8: you know, you get maybe a 12 hour event, maybe
• 7:09
  Speaker 8: 18 hour event that the storm just comes and it
• 7:11
  Speaker 8: goes and it goes racing up the coast. That will
• 7:13
  Speaker 8: not be the case with this storm.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: It's going to develop.
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: It's going to come in. It's going to be moving slowly,
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: and then it's going to move back toward the west
• 7:20
  Speaker 8: and just continue to spin. So that persistent onshore, northeast,
• 7:24
  Speaker 8: easterly push is going to continue to push water in.
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: And like I said, even around areas around New York Harbor,
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: there's going to be inundation. So the question is going
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: to be, how bad will it get? There's coastal flood
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: advisories and warnings, all kinds of advisories on the water, too.
• 7:38
  Speaker 8: But there's no reason, actually, to be out there, whether
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: it's on a boat or swimming, unless you've got, you know,
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: unless you're bots or something. You've got to just stay put. And,
• 7:47
  Speaker 8: you know, obviously follow what the warnings and the advisors
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: and your local emergency managers are giving for information. So,
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: you know, going to be a tough one. Going to
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: be a tough one.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the first time you said slow moving, I grimaced
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: because I knew that was going to be a longer event.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: But how far west is there going to be rain?
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: I think it'll get far west is most likely into
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: northwest Jersey, maybe the Poconos and then As far west
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: as the Catskills and as you go up the Hudson Valley,
• 8:16
  Speaker 8: most likely going to see that rain get close to Albany,
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: maybe into the Mohawk Valley. But the heavier rain is
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: going to be concentrated on about New York City, southeastern
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: New York, northeast Jersey, eastern east Jersey and out onto
• 8:29
  Speaker 8: eastern New England and Long Island. So it will rain even.
• 8:33
  Speaker 8: Where are you going, Curtis?
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Somewhere? Yeah, yeah. Wait a second.
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: Hold on.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Because each day we talk to you, it gets more dire.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Every time you say it's moving west, it's moving west.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: This is not good for me. I got to get
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: up to Marshall, New York, to rescue the 16,000 beagles.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: We're breaking them out out of Marshall, New York. It
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: is the biggest farm for beagle development that they use
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: to test and torture and kill. And so I'm already
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: all geared up, as the crew here has seen. I
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: got the guardian angel gear on. I look like Senator Fetterman.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: I got the hoodie on, man. I'm good to go
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: right into the eye of the nor'easter.
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: When are you leaving? When are you heading out?
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Late tonight.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, bad timing. All right, you should be fine.
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: Oh, really?
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Look at you, bad timing.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Well, the later the worse.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: You're right, Larry. This guy, he's like, come see, come saw,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: don't worry about it. Well, that was yesterday.
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: I'm a little bit more concerned today.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: A little bit? Not for me. That's for sure.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: My wife is.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: She told me to bring my galoshes with me. I
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: haven't heard that term in a month of Sundays.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Do you even have galoshes?
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: I forgot what a galosh was. They now call them
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: rain boots.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: So it's interesting that you told him he'd be okay
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: so when is this going to start hitting.
• 10:01
  Speaker 8: Um we'll start to see showers probably coming in tonight
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: it doesn't mean it's not going to be raining but
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: the worst impacts will be as we go through the
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: second part of tomorrow tomorrow night and probably into at
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: least the first half of Sunday, it's going to be showery.
• 10:16
  Speaker 8: I can't even say that word, but there'll be showers
• 10:18
  Speaker 8: and the winds have already dusted 20, 30 miles per hour. So,
• 10:21
  Speaker 8: I mean, it's not going to be great, but I'm
• 10:24
  Speaker 8: saying you should be able to get there. I'm not
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: saying it's not going to be like rainy and a
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: little breezy, but it'll get... Less rainy and less breezy
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: the further north and northwest you go.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I'm getting nauseous here. I'm really getting nauseous. Ray, one favor, please,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: when you join us later in the show, because obviously
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: the weather is the primary story, bar none. I met
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: a whole tour group yesterday in Midtown. They were going
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: to the Ed Sheeran concert up at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Tonight he has one, tomorrow. And apparently, I guess, that
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: New England area is going to get clobbered bad. They
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: might have to cancel those concerts. So can you give
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: us an update on that when you join us later?
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Yep, we can do that. All right, thanks a lot,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Ray Stajic. We'll talk to you in a couple of hours.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Go to the iHeartRadio app and leave us a talkback.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: You could win a Curtis Sliwa and Larry Menti in
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the morning T-shirt, which will be awarded every day to
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: our favorite talkback of the morning. We'd love to hear
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: how you might be celebrating Dolly Day 925 and also
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: how you're preparing for the storm. And while you're on
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: the free iHeartRadio app, be sure to set a preset
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: for 710WOR and don't forget the best talkback of the
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: week takes on the Sea Crane Radio app. Seacrane radios
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: that work when it matters most. Oh, this is nauseating.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Macklemore is announcing a free Palestine tour. Oh, I'd love
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: to be in that crowd. Plus a chance to see
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Kenny G at 825. Hey, we have Arthur Lee coming
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: up in this show today, the guy that is the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: founder of LifeVac and somebody I believe is a national
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: hero because he saved so many lives. Because I can
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: tell you how important this is from covering the news
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: all my life. I know exactly how fast an everyday
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: normal situation can turn into an emergency. And choking is
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: one of those moments, maybe the most common. It can
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: happen to anyone, a child, a parent, a grandparent. And
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: when it does, of course, seconds matter. It's terrifying. That's
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: why I want to tell you about LifeVac. LifeVac is
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the first and only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device. to be
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: used for second-line treatment when recommended choking protocols like the
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Heimlich have been followed without success. And here's what's remarkable.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: LifeVac has helped save over 6,000 lives worldwide. Just last month,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: it saved a little boy in Rialto, California. We'll be
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: talking to Arthur about that coming up. That's not just
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: a number. Just like that little boy, these are real people,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: real families, real second chances. Preparedness matters. Having the right
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: tool close by can make all the difference in the world.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: So you should learn more about LifeVac today at LifeVac.net.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: That's all you have to do. Go to LifeVac.net. Visit
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: LifeVac.net and see how you can be ready when it counts.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: You almost knew this was going to happen. Mack Memorial
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: had been the opening act for Ed Sheeran at MetLife
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Stadium when he did his free Palestine bit. and then
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: was removed from the rest of the tour. He said,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: don't worry about it. I got my own tour with
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: my own friends that will join me on stage. It's
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: called the Free Palestine Tour. It begins in Dublin, October 26th,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: then Paris on the 29th, and London on the 30th.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: And he says it all proceeds from the concert. We'll
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: go to the Palestinian people in Gaza. Took a quick
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: shot at Ed Sheeran. He said, look, being apolitical during
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: a genocide doesn't work anymore. As Ed Sheeran, you were
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: at his concert last week. You said not only was
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: it well attended, Larry, but everybody loved it. I met
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: the tour group that was going up to Gillette Stadium
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: this weekend. His first concert is tonight at New England
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Patriot Stadium and then one tomorrow. which may have to
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: be canceled because of high winds. Not so much the rain.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: You know, it's an outdoor stadium. But high winds, which
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: would affect, obviously, equipment. So I hope they can have
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: that concert, because then that would be the curse of
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Bob Kraft Sr., who really put the arm on Ed
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Sheeran to remove Macklemore from the.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Rest of the tour. Let's get back to Macklemore. He's
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: a despicable human being, and it has nothing to do
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: with Palestine. I just hate that he... Ed Sheeran had
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the grace to allow him on his stage. Macklemore is
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: washed up. He had one hit song that I didn't
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: want to play because he disgusts me, but also you'd
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: have to beep your way all the way through it
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: because he curses so much. He has limited talent. Ed
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Sheeran has a world of talent, and he kneecapped him.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Ed Sheeran did him a favor, and he kneecapped him.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: And the poor guy broke down on stage because of this,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: because all these friends left him and he was afraid
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the fans were going to leave him, but they didn't.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: They showed up and sold out Lincoln Financial Field. That's
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the silent majority. They're the people that show up when
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: it counts. And so Macklemore, I hope this fails. I'm
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: sure it won't because he's going to have all these
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: leftist crazies showing up to support him. But it'll be limited.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: It'll be limited because he has limited talent. And so
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: he'll have his moment in the sun. He'll be able
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: to rejoice over taking out another really great performer who
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: never talked politics because he thought it would offend his
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: fans and curse him for releasing that statement. Being apolitical.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Nobody wants to go to
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: a concert and hear politics.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Nobody. Nobody.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: And when they do, they want to know about it
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: in advance, like Springsteen does. So I hope the guy
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: completely fails. I'm sure he's going to have some success
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: with this tour. And then I hope he flames out again.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Let's get to some talkbacks.
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: They call him Rhinestone Curtis, savior of animals.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: That's right. Do I wear the pink and the rhinestones
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: today and dress like a drag queen as a Dolly
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Parton lookalike when I go up to Marshall, New York,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: to rescue the Beagles this weekend?
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: I would pay to see that. Please do, and then
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: put it on Instagram. Hey, listen, speaking of rhinestones, somebody
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: that wears rhinestones, and if you need to dress up
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: with rhinestones, you can go into his closet, Jimmy Fala,

• 19:46
  Speaker 7: at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710 WOR.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Governor of New Jersey. A helicopter pilot woman calls for
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: the lieutenant governor to resign, and he says, you can't
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: make me. We'll get to that up next. Meantime, our
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival presented by Capital One has been completed.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: You can relieve all the biggest moments streaming on Disney
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Plus and Hulu beginning October 1st. As I call her, Larry,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: the helicopter pilot, the governor of New Jersey had a
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: big press conference yesterday and she basically said, Lieutenant Governor...
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: It's time for you to be on the outside looking in.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: These charges are serious. I don't want you around anymore.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Get out of the statehouse in Trenton. Just, it's over.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: It's over. But I have a feeling it's not over
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: when I saw the statements of the attorney representing Lieutenant
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Governor seem like a family feud.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Here's the problem. Mikey Sherrill, as usually, is beyond her
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: skis right now. Because she put out a statement basically saying,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: you have until tomorrow to resign or else.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Or else what?
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: What are you going to do? She can not fire him.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: She can't. She can start impeachment proceedings if she'd like to. Actually,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: she can't even do that. She can just suggest it.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: That has to happen in the legislature. And so it's
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: going to go to the assembly first. And then it
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: only takes one vote to move it on to the Senate,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: where it takes two-thirds. So he's in a pretty darn
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: good position. Now, it was a 61-page report that was released.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: And in it, it showed inappropriate behavior, not only when
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: he was a lieutenant governor and apparently hitting on the
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: friends of some of his staffers and trying to get
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: jobs for girlfriends, plural, girlfriends. So this guy is a player.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Wait, is he married?
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: No, he's not married.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. So he probably says, well, I was footloose
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: and fancy free.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: He's trying to get jobs for those people. So that
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: is crossing the line. I agree with you to an extent.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. There is a different standard when
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: you're not married. But apparently he also had problems when
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: he was at colleges like Seton Hall and Centurion College,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: which he was the president of for only two years.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: For only two years. Here's, to me, the bigger story.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: And this is going to play out now over the
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: next few weeks. And there has always been some alleged
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: problems with this guy. Now we have it in writing
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: that he is a bit of a player, if not
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: a sexual predator, because there's no rape charges or harassment charges.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: It's just that he's a bit of a player. But
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: he crossed the line when he tried to get jobs
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: for women that he had. romantic relationships with. The bigger
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: problem I have is Mikey Sherrill. Again, did she vet
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: this guy? You know, by the way, he's playing the
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: black card, too, by the way.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. His complexion is his protection.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: The N-W-A-C-P, very powerful New Jersey to the rescue.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: He's saying this is typical, but they always go after
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: a black politician. Well, you just became a politician. You
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: became a politician a few months back.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: In fact, that was one of the endearing things about it.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: She said, you see, I picked a non-politician for lieutenant governor.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't do any other research on him. I did
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: no other research on him. I just know he is
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: a black guy and he's not a politician. And come on,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: come on along. She has been an amazing disappointment as governor.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: And this is only the latest of a long series
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: of screw-ups on her part. By the way, what is
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: she doing about the voter rolls? Well, exactly. Remember, she
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: came out and she said they found 6,000 people illegal.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Maybe more. Maybe more, right?
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Then the assembly came out and they said, no, no,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: we found 40,000 and nothing. Nothing's been done.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: But now on this lieutenant governor, so there can't be
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: an impeachment. He can't be sacked. There's nothing that could
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: be done to this guy by the governor? Well, not
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: by the governor, no. No, he's an elected official. It's
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: a separate election for him. So she doesn't hire him. Now,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: she's the one that picked him to run with. But
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: he still had to be elected. You know, this is
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: similar to what Hochul went through. She had her first
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: pick was a disaster. The state senator from African-American state
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: senator from Harlem who got caught up in a corruption case.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: He was in court. So he had to leave. Then
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: she picked a congressman. Why would you leave Congress to
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: become a lieutenant governor? Antonio Delgado from the Mid-Hudson Valley.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: He had a great future ahead of him. But early on,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: he couldn't work with Hochul. And he said, you know what?
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: I'm going to run against you, which never manifested itself
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: because her newfound friend, the most popular politician in New
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: York now, Zoran Mandami, would not support this progressive Antonio Delgado.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: He said, no, I'm supporting Hochul. But it seems like
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: there's been a problem with Lieutenant Governors for both Hochul
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: and obviously now for Shirell in Trenton.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: It's going to be really fascinating today to see what
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: she does, because what jumped out to everybody is the
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: you have until tomorrow or else. What are you going
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: to do?
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Can she take away his parking spot?
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know what she can do. I don't think
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: she can do anything. So, again, she she you know.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: They probably went to her and said, Governor, I got
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: some bad news for you. You put out there, you
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: really should have checked that statement with us because you
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: put out there that you were going to, he had
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: until tomorrow. Yeah, he can have as long as he wants.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: And he will love this because now he's a martyr.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: He'll play the black card, as you said. My complexion
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: is my protection. The NAACP will have a prayer session
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: for him, you know, all the right reverends. We'll say
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: prayers for them.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: They would never do this to a white man, would they?
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, boy.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: What a mess she's in.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, it is. It's going to be fascinating to see
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: her today. It's going to be fascinating because she has
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: to say something now. And she has nothing she can do.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Once again, Mikey Sherrill, not even knowing the most basic
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: laws of the state. We'll be talking a lot more
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: about that on Monday. But for right now... Can you
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: believe that there is one town in New Jersey that
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: is flock central? They love flock. They want more flock.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Give them as much flock as possible.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Sounds like Red China. You know, gee, they have flock
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: all over Red China.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: They're all over one town. We'll tell you that town
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: and what the success rate has been coming up next. Well,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: if you're against flock cameras because it's an invasion of privacy,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: if you want them all taken down, don't tell that
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: to the people. of Edison, New Jersey, the fourth largest
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: city in New Jersey with 107,000 people, because they put
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: in 20 flock cameras a little over a year ago,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: and their home invasions went down from 87 in the
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: year before to 5. To 5. But for the mayor there,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: he wants more.
• 27:27
  Speaker 9: We're going to get down to zero home invasions, burglaries,
• 27:30
  Speaker 9: and auto thefts. No exceptions.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he is aiming high. That is Sam Joshi, who
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: is the mayor there. He is pushing for more. And
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, the city council just approved,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: listen to this, 92 more flock cameras, bringing the total
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: up well over 100, almost to 120. for a area
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: that is just 30 square miles. So there's going to
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: be flock cameras everywhere.
• 28:03
  Speaker 9: Now that we have every single entry and exit point
• 28:07
  Speaker 9: in the entire municipality, we'll have licensed air readers. A
• 28:12
  Speaker 9: criminal or a stolen vehicle that enters town, we will
• 28:15
  Speaker 9: be able to intercept them before they reach their destination.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: You know, they're swimming against a tide there. Obviously, it's
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: working for them. They have the data. They have the analytics.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: But you can see throughout America, there's more and more
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: opposition because of surveillance. The vice president, J.D. Vance, although
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: not specifically talking flocks, said his big concern with AI
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: and technology is surveillance of America. And up next, we're
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: going to be talking about President Xi's visit with Donald
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Trump at the White House. And nobody uses flock technology
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: more than in Red China, where every square inch has
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: a flock camera or technology similar to that.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: They had that technology before we put it up all
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: around the country. But listen, they had a vote on
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: this with the city council. And it was six to
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: one for this. So there's really no opposition. And they
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: interviewed the people that live in Edison, New Jersey. They
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: all love it. There was no opposition. Two TV crews
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: went out and talked to a few dozen people. They
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: all love it. Even the guy that voted against it,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: the councilman that voted against it, admit it works.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: I don't like the flock cameras, even though I would
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: tell the chief myself personally, I think they're very, very
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: effective cameras. But just having Big Brother watch over us
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: is a problem I have with being a citizen of
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: the United States.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, except it is such a fallacious argument that you
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: have privacy, that it's invading your privacy. Again, and I
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: say this all the time, but it's really important to
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: know you have no privacy when you're out on the road.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: None.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: That's what your license plates are for. This just makes
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: it so they can grab them and make sure you're
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: not a criminal. They don't care about you at all.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: They're never going to look at your information if you're
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: not a criminal or if it's not some cop that
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: it's hot for some woman. That's been the entire problem.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: The lack of privacy has always been not with the cameras,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: not with the technology, not with the departments, but individual
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: police officers who use it for their own purposes.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: But there's also been the argument, where does that information go,
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: especially with artificial intelligence? Does it go into data banks?
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: So there are a lot of– look, if a local
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: community wants it, hey, great. We're saying the same thing
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: about AI data filing centers. If a local community gets
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: together and the people actually have a say, like in
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: this case, it does not appear to be much opposition,
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: then that's fine.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: But let the people determine that. And Edison, New Jersey,
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: clearly is making that determination where the one obstruction, we'll
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: call it the holdout juror, the city councilman who was
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: so concerned about big brother Orwellian, actually was converted without
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: nobody putting the arm on him because he looked at
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: the analytics. So I say that's all part and parcel
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: of what we want to see in America. Local communities.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: get together and make decisions in terms of what they
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: think is in their best interest. That's democracy in action.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but they need all the facts. And right now
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: it's just this big scare thing that, oh my God,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Big Brother is after you. That's just not the truth.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: It is not the truth. Now, I understand there should
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: be limits and there have been limits put in by
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: the state. The state of New Jersey has their own limits.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: The state of New York has its own limits. And

  Speaker 1: now even the company, the guy that the CEO of
• 31:37

• 32:00
  Speaker 6: But.
• 32:01

• 32:02
  Speaker 1: You're under surveillance all day long.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: I know, but I want another layer of surveillance in
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: which my personal information is going into this AI catacomb. Anyway,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: up next, a man who has surveillance of every one
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: of the billion and a half citizens in his country.
• 32:19
