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

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Wow, huge weekend coming up, especially for you, Larry and Natalie,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: and our WOR710 staff, and Natalie Migliore, the coverage of
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the Marathon on Sunday.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: But before we even get to the start.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: Can I say one thing that jumped out at me
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: that I can't get out of my head? Mild and 62.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Sunny and 62. That's what Ray Stajic just said for
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: the marathon. Is that perfect weather for a marathon?
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: It's close to perfect.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Probably close to perfect for us and the spectators.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: The runners like it. A little bit cooler, but it's
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: still going to be in the 40s at the start. Oh,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: it's perfect. Yeah, that's perfect.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: That's perfect for them. I cannot wait. I'm glad you
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: brought it up. I cannot wait for the marathon, the
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: excitement of the marathon.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a marathon for you and Natalie
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: because not only do you have marathon coverage, then you
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: have election night coverage. So thank God it is daylight
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: savings time. Remember, you got to roll the clock back.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: You get an extra hour starting at 2 a.m.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: On Sunday. You roll it back.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: So you can imagine there are some people, it always happens,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: where they don't have the technology that does it automatically.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: And they get up and they realize, damn, I could
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: have slept an additional hour. Why is it so dark outside?
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Normally it's light at this time. And this sort of
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: brings us into the midterm elections. A man who was
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: like a fixture on the Fox News channel, always coming
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: to the aid of President Donald Trump, especially when it
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: came to foreign affairs, which he's an expert.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: U.S. Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Remember how they got into that dispute about daylight savings
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: time and Tom Cotton and some of the other senators
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: who were in the farm areas? are opposed to what
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Trump wants to do, the Sunshine Protection Act, that would
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: make daylight savings time permanent. And then Trump put on
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: his truth social network that millions look at Tom Cotton's
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: personal phone number and said, call him and tell him
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: to rescind his opposition. I don't know if you've noticed,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: he was always a great spokesman. I haven't heard, seen, hide,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: nor hear of him. He's obviously campaigning in Arkansas. Republican candidates.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: But I think he took that to heart. And by
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the way, that reminds me of Lindsey Graham. Remember in
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: 2016 in that heated primary when all of a sudden
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Trump was upset with what Lindsey said about him? He
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: was one of the participants running for president and he
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: gave out his cell phone number, remember, at one of
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: those rallies.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I don't think this is unusual in Trump world. If
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: you've noticed, he can turn on you in a second
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: and then love you the next day. It happens all
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: the time. By the way, the bill that is called
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: the Sunshine Protection Act, it's one of my favorite named
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: bills of all time, the Sunshine Protection Act. And I
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: think most of America, when you poll most of America,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: want that. They want to get rid of daylight savings times.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: It's ridiculous.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Overwhelming. And the argument that Tom Cotton has said, hey,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: you know, when the sun rises at 830, that's bad
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: because kids are going to school in the dark. You know,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: because normally the sun rising would be about 730 while
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: we're on the air would be rising 830. uh, in the,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: these times where you roll back an hour. So remember
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: good news for you, Natalie, good news for you, Larry,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: for all the coverage, you're going to get an extra
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: hour of sleep. So don't forget out there, roll that
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: cock back an hour. But let me tell you, uh,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: speaking of what you're doing, my day is book solid
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Saturday for the now world's biggest Halloween parade. It's in
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Greenwich village. It starts at six and I go to
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: about 12 midnight. I and the Guardian Angels participate every year.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see the political costumes. A
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: lot of people come dressed up as Donald Trump. A
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: lot of people came dressed up as me last year
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: in the mayoral election. But let's see what's going to
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: happen because I'm there from beginning to end. So I'll
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: be able to report to all of you on Monday.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: What were some of the more unique costumes? Because some people...
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: they developed their costumes for a whole year. It's sort
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: of like a carnival in Rio, you know, spend a
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: whole year developing it. It's really become outstanding. So I'll
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: be able to report to all of you, but I
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: got to tell you, I don't think Nancy is coming.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: She normally loves Halloween is her favorite holiday. She is
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: sitting shiver for the loss of the barn owls, you know,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: not far from where we live. We live right near
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: central park and, 75th, 76th off Central Park West, one
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: of the apartment buildings has a water tower, one of
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: these old wooden water towers which proliferate in Manhattan. There
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: are birdies downstairs. They have telescopes, binoculars, people coming. They're
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: bringing their children, their grandchildren. It's even superseded what was
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the following for Flaco. Remember the escaped owl because Flaco
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: flew all over the place. These two adult owls, the
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: mama and the papa and the six owlets have been
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: pretty sedentary, except obviously the adults go out and forage
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: for food for the three baby owls, the six baby owls.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Well, guess what?
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: A construction crew arrived yesterday, you know, with their hard hats.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: They started to disassemble the wooden water tower, which caused
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the owls to disperse. Now, you know, these birders, they
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: got like GPS on these owls. All they've spotted is
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: one lonely baby owl, which seems to be perched at
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: a building nearby.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: They haven't been able to spot the other five.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Whoever owns that building, whether it is a consortium, an
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: LLC partnership, or if it's an individual owner-operator, they will
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: become the Dracula landlord of this year and maybe forever if,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: in fact, they ordered the replacement of that water tower
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to get those owls away.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: It's a shame because you know it was just a mistake.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: This is scheduled. They'd probably do it this time every
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: year or whenever it comes around.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Why would they do it on purpose? Because they don't
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: want the owls there.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: They don't want the attention. They don't want the attention?
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Now they're going to get more attention than they ever
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: thought that they'd ever get, and it'll all be in
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the negative.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: They don't want the.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Attention of a street that's already crowded of people just stopping.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: It's silly.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: You don't understand how some of these folks are on
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: the Upper West Side. For all the supporters of the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: owls and the baby owls, there are detractors. And obviously,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: this had to be signed off by the owners and
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the operators. Couldn't have happened at a worse time. Now,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I would love to see if this is a regular thing,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the cleaning up the water tower. I mean, I'm wondering
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: if it's even required.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? My feeling is it has
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: to be.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Boy, are they going to claim that it's Legionnaire's disease
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to force them.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: To do this?
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: But if you're going to have a water tower, you're
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: going to have to maintain it. And the maintenance has
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: to happen regularly. So what I'm thinking is this is
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: just regular maintenance. It's a mistake. Either way, it's a mistake.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: But I'm not sure it was on purpose.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Let's see if they actually are bold enough to come
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: forward and speak on their behalf of why they decided
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: to do it now and not delay. Because, you know,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: there are all kinds of advocates out there. They'll be
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: protesting outside. There are rules and regulations that affect these
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: species that you can't displace them. So let's see how
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: this plays out. But I'm pissed off because this is
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: my wife's favorite time of year. Favorite time of year, Halloween.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: And she is really upset. There are a lot of people,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: you know, you know the birders. You've seen them with
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the telescopes. They spend their whole day following these birds.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: And it is a disgrace. Now, speaking of my wife,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: we went out to fetch our brother-in-law was flying in
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: a JFK.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: And what a great experience.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Even though we took mass transportation, which is not the
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: best alternative like in other cities, Larry, where you can
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: go from center city, you know, right out to an airport.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Going to the airport around here is the most stressful,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: annoying task to do. It's everywhere.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Just about, I mean, any big city at the airports
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: are a pain in the neck. Try O'Hare out in Chicago.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I would do anything not to go to JFK.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Right, but you can go straight to O'Hare on the CTA.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: You can go straight to Midway in Chicago, one ride
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: on a subway. Here, you got to change. You got
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: to go from one chain to another chain.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, if you take the subway, see, most of us drive.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: And so it's kind of a straight way. But you're right.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: I didn't mean to interrupt you, but I think that
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: most people don't know what you were talking about, that
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: you have to take public transportation.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Even Cleveland and Stouffer Square downtown, they have an old
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: rickety subway that takes you out to the airport. But
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the reason it was good, we were stuck with everybody
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: who was coming in for the marathon. And a lot
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: of the French visitors, because I was trying to inquire
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: from them what's going on in their country. All of
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: a sudden, while they were here, they could speak perfect English.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Those same people, if you were visiting in France, right,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: would look at you if you were asking questions in English,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: you know, like, oh, God.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: And France is the only country that does that. I've
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: been through all the countries in Europe, and France is
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: the only one that won't speak English to you, even
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: though they know English. There's a certain arrogance about that
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: that ticks you off. They want you to ask them
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: if they speak English and then they will.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And I got to tell you, it was a
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: wonderful experience coming back, even though it's the same rickety rackety, dirty, homeless,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: emotionally disturbed, filled mass transit system subways. Because everybody was
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: euphoric to be here. You could see their eyes were
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: so grateful to be in New York for the marathon.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: And so whereas I normally talk, I just listened. And
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: it was just an outpouring of pride in their family
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: members because they come over as a family. And more importantly,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: that maybe they could win the medal, a medallion. that
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: they could wear forever. And when they go back to
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: their countries, oh my God, they're going to be the
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: talk of their town.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: I talked about the same thing the other day because
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: we get to stay in a hotel the night before,
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: before we've, Natalie has been working now for like the
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: last month on this, but we get to, you know,
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: we have a meeting and we get to, we get
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: to hang out a little bit and everybody is there
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: in the hotels from around the world.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: And they're there in groups.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Usually there's running groups from Canada and Australia and all
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: this stuff. And it's, They are so thrilled and so
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: happy to be here.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: And you're right.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: They work a long time for this moment. This is
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: the pinnacle of their running career, to make it to
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: New York City, to get accepted into the New York
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: City Marathon, and then to finish and get that medal.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: It's awe-inspiring.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: I know the big runners get all the attention, the
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: professional runners get all the attention, but it's much more
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: than that. It's a global thing. personal event at the
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: same time, which is amazing. Let's get some talkbacks on
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: all of this. We have the talkbacks about Halloween. We
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: got the talkbacks about the marathon. We got the talkbacks
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: about the mall.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Daylight savings time.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Daylight savings time. That's another one. We got a lot
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: of topics on the table. Go to the iHeartRadio app.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Leave us a talkback. You could win a Curtis Lee
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: and Larry Menti in the morning t-shirt. which is going
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: to be awarded every day to our favorite talk back
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: in the morning. And while you're on the free iHeartRadio app,
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: be sure to set a preset for 710WOR. Don't forget,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: it's going to happen today. The best talk back of
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: the week takes home a C-Crane radio. Well, a legend
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: passed away. You may have already heard. If not, we're sorry.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: We're going to break the news to you next. Plus,
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: a chance to see comedian John Mulaney at age 25.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: They've got all kinds of... The conversation continues. Curtis Lewa
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: and Larry Mendte.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: 710WOR.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: On the line right now, our colleague Rob Astorino is
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: running many elections.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: He's an expert.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: He's crisscrossed the country following the primaries and now the
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: general elections.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: But, Rob, I've got to first ask you.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at the schedule of Vice President J.D. Vance,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: who has been as busy as President Trump going from
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: state to state. on behalf of Republicans. Monday, he's going
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: to be in Rome, New York, in the reddest congressional
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: district in the state for Anthony Constantino?
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: What a waste of time. What is he coming into
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: New York for?
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: I mean, the only reason is it's not comfortable. They
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: don't think that Constantino is where he should be at
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: in the polling. That's the only reason. I mean, the
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: day before, why would you plop into, like you said,
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: a red district. At least Stefanik won it by 20 points.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: Trump won it by 20 points. So I understand it
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: may not be 20, but I mean, if it's at
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: like two or three, which maybe it is, I can't
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: imagine that. I haven't heard that. I mean, then that's
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: really scary, but I don't know why. I mean, Constantino
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: was a big supporter to Trump and Vance. So maybe
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: it's a little gee, we've gone everywhere else. Where else
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: should we go on the last day?
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I hope it's more that than anything else.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, you've had your own campaigns and you've
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: been involved in other campaigns. How different is the public
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: polling from the internal polling?
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: It varies.
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: It could be different by a lot or it could
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: be basically on part. I've always found that It's been off,
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: but not by an enormous amount, but it's been off.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: And if that's.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: The difference, then that's why we're having all these public
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: fights about polls and everything. And I always found like
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: the college ones, the Marists, the Quinnipiacs, all of those
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: have been just– they just totally model wrong. I mean
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: there was a poll the other day. I think it
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: was Marist that they're still using registered voters in their sampling.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: I mean nobody does that.
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: At this point, it's not registered. It's totally likely voters.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: Or to some extent, have you already voted and who
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: did you vote for with early voting? So on an
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: internal poll, you do not want anything skewed. You want
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: what you really think will be the exact modeling of
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: the turnout based on 22, not 24, not 20, not 18.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: So you really want to base it on that. Democratic turnout,
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: Republican turnout, all of that matters into what the sample
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: is going to be. And that's the true result. I mean,
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: why would you pay all this money to get skewed results?
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: To feel good?
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: No.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: You use it as a guide, right? Where to advertise,
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: how to advertise, all those kind of things.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Now, Rob, in your backyard, the most expensive congressional race
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: for both sides, both for Congressman Lawler and his challenger, Caitlyn.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: They brought in their big guns from both sides yesterday.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Polls suggest it's neck and neck. What's your sense of
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: what's happening there? Because I have never seen more ads
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: in my life. I wish the election could be tomorrow.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: It's like nonstop. One is Lawler followed by Caitlyn Lawler,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Caitlyn Lawler, Caitlyn.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Is that enough already?
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: The only thing Danny the mailman does around here now is–
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: Put Mike Lawler stuff in mailboxes.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: It's everywhere. But you know what?
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: Look, this this is one of the five races around
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: the country that if it is very close, will determine
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: the House. So he's won before the Jewish bloc of
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: 30,000 votes is going to be critical. Now, he has
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: done everything humanly possible. He's been a very big advocate
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: and ally for them. They, too, have been for him.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: I don't see any reason why they would switch on this.
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: So that is significant. And I've seen them switch last minute,
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: trust me, in previous races. So I don't think that's
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: going to happen here. I was with Mike and the
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: team on Sunday and they're feeling decent right now. I mean,
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: it's tough and it's all about turnout.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Forget the polling.
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: Polling doesn't matter now. You have You talk about polls
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: right now. It really doesn't matter. I mean, people have voted.
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: You know, I was online. I voted yesterday. So that
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: doesn't matter. It's the get out the vote operation that
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: matters right now. And his team is very, very good.
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: So I still think I've been holding steady. I still
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: think Mike wins this race by two points.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Well, thank God you said that, because before that you
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: weren't instilling a lot of confidence when you said, I
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: still feel decent about this.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Well, because it is tight. It is tight.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: And Democrats, you know, I was online yesterday and it's like,
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: you know, like the zombie movies where they're like, their
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: heads are going back and forth and they're. their arms
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: are like twitching and there's like stuff coming out of
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: their mouth. That's Democrats right now at the polls.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: They're out, they're out voting and Republicans, you know, have
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: to catch up. Oh, let's put you on the record then.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: I don't, you don't need to go through individual races, but, uh,
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: who's going to win the house.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Who's going to win the Senate. And by how much, uh, Well, you're.
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: Taking away my whole show tomorrow at four o'clock.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: But I will tell you this.
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: I do think the House does not hold. I think
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: the Democrats take over the House.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: I think it's going to be in the maybe up
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: to 20 seat range, 15 to 20.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: They're going to win by 20 seats.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: So they would net they would be up by like 15.
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: That's I think that's very, very possible.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: But here's the thing.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: You know, all the redistricting that they did, that is
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: going to help. And they may not hold all of those.
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: But two years from now, when it's a regular presidential turnout,
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: they're going to win those House seats back. So, you know,
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: they're in a good position in two years to take
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: the House back.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: The Senate, I.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: Still think, I've been saying it all along, I'm feeling better.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: I still think the Senate is held by Republicans.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Because of Michigan and Alaska?
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: I don't know what's going to happen in Alaska.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Michigan.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: I was just there Monday. I think it's going to
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: be a squeaker. I do think Mike Rogers is going
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: to win. I don't know if that's, I'm crossing my
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: fingers hoping, or I do think he will win because
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: of what we're seeing on the ground there. But Rogers,
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: you know, he's a good candidate, but Abdul, it's frightening, man.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: I was driving through some areas and you.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Just see these Abdul signs.
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: I just want to like scream at these houses.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Like what's wrong with you? Yeah.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: All right, Rob, sorry about your show for tomorrow. So
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: you'll have to come up with some other surprises. I apologize.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Rob Astorino, host of The Rob Astorino Show on WOR,
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Saturdays from 4 to 5 p.m. That's when you can
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: listen to him and hear his bold predictions. Host of
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Saturday Agenda 1 to 3 on Newsmax, former Westchester County executive,
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: of course, and heavily involved in these races.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: We always appreciate it. Thank you, Rob. Thanks, guys. Curtis
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Lewa and Larry Minty in the morning. The conversation continues
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: on 710WOR.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Let's bring in Joe Neumeier, film journalist, of course, WOR
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: movie-minted host. And I'll tell you what, Joe, be still
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: my heart. I'm looking here. You have a movie that
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: you're calling a really powerful five-star war film.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: You know what? Is that going to make the poster?
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Have you made a poster for a movie? I actually have.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: I made the ad for the fourth Indiana Jones movie,
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: and I think something else I did.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: But yeah, no, this is incredible.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: This movie is called The Mosquito Bowl, Larry, and I
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: know how you love Saving Private Ryan, so I'm going
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: to lead off with this and say that it's sort
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: of It matches Saving Private Ryan in terms of intensity.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: It's in theaters now. It's going to be on Netflix
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: in a month. And it's directed by Peter Berg, who
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: made Friday Night Lights and Lone Survivor. And it's based
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: on a true story. It's about these four college guys
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: in World War II who, during their experience— and we see
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: them a little bit before the war— during their experience
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: in the Pacific Theater in World War II.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: It is intense.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: The actual Mosquito Bowl is a minor part of it,
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: which was a little kind of football game that was
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: put together on Okinawa because somebody had recognized, some higher-up
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: had recognized these four college football guys and said, let's
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: get this game together. But it's really about their experiences
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: and about really retelling. It's got respect for the men
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: and women, for the men who fought in World War II,
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: but it is for the men and women who serve,
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: but it also is about.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Really the intensity of what war is. And it, and
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: it really is, it's.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: An intense experience. The sound in the theaters is incredible,
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: but this movie really is powerful.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: It's terrifying. It's, it's moving.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: It reminds me a little of Gallipoli, this great movie
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: from the early eighties about, uh, Australians, it is one
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: of the best war films I've ever seen, one of
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: the most moving war films I've ever seen.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Performances are great.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: Jack Nicholson's son, Ray Nicholson, is in there.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: He's terrific.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: You just have to go in and be prepared, though,
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: because it starts off a little slow, but once it
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: gets into the war scenes, it's like nothing I've ever seen.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: And we've got a couple of good movies coming up
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: over the.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Next few weeks.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Well, it's Oscar time, right? It's Oscar time, yeah. But
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: you're going to say, what's up with Neumeier? He had
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: too much coffee, all these five-star movies.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Well, I have no homework for you this week, Joe Neumeier.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: But I've got homework for you, which will involve Patrick Stewart, though, Curtis,
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: but I want to hear what you had to say.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: So no homework, but.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Well, that's exactly what I wanted to ask you, because
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: what an iconic thespian. You know, we've seen him in
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: so many different forms, and I know you've interviewed him.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: You knew him personally, so if you could share some
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: of that with us upon his passing.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: Patrick Stewart, I was lucky enough to talk to him
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: a couple of times once in the late 90s for
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: a Star Trek movie, but I had this great 90-minute
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: career over that. It was like two hours career conversation
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: with him on stage in 2017 when Logan was out
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: and we were talking. It was for SAG, the Screen
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: Actors Guild, and we spent time before that just chatting.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: He was an extraordinary person. And I really just want
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: to say, like, anybody who sort of thinks like, oh,
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: Star Trek, it's science fiction.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: Like, what he brought to that character of Captain Picard,
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: we can start with that.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: And then there's so many other things he did.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: But we can start with that, where it was he
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: brought to that character and that franchise and really to
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: all of sort of pop culture, this notion of a smart, level,
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: humane leader who who was also flawed and complicated. And,
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: you know, people think of Star Trek and they think
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: of William Shatner, and Shatner was great, of course, and
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: is great. But Stewart brought something else, and he brought
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: this level of humanity to that character and to that franchise. And,
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: you know, a lot of it is sort of, you know,
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: people think like, oh, it's, you know, space guns and
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: beaming up and the Starship Enterprise thing. but like the
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: American Western, like science, Star Trek is just a genre.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: It's just human stories in set in a, in a
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: certain genre. And, and there are episodes of that show
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: that I think rank with some of the best, the best,
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: you know, genre writing of, of any type. And then
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: you add things like Nat and I were just talking
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: before I came on.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: His theater work was extraordinary.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: He did that one man Christmas Carol that, um, that
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: when I saw it in 1994, I had never experienced
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: that story before. He did 30 characters all on stage.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: You would have believed that he was the size of
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: the giant Ghost of Christmas Present because he was just
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: sitting on a couple of boxes. And when he kind
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: of comes towards the audience with his arms outstretched to say,
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: God bless us all, everyone, you felt like enfolded into
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: his personality he was funny he was puckish he loved
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: doing comedy he was the voice of the poop emoji.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: You know i i got to talk i got to
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: talk to him one time and i love what you
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: said about him so i didn't know him like you
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: did i just got to talk to him the one
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: time but i was a little nervous because you know
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: it's patrick stewart a shakespearean actor and And I got
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: to talk to him, man, he was incredibly down to earth.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: He was funny. He was nice.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: I went away.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: I went away from that interview as a Patrick Stewart
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: fan of him, the person, not just the actor.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: That's right. That's right. He was a really down to
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: earth guy.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: You know, he was a, he came from a tough
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: working class background, uh, in, in rural England. And, uh,
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: and you kind of felt that. And yet you also
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: felt this sense of, of somebody who loved people. Like
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: he loved stories. He loved people. And, and when he
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: did many of the X-Men movies and professor Xavier, he's
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: going to be seen this December in the Avengers movie doomsday. Uh,
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: that's going to be his, his final performance. He did a,
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: a small bit as, as professor Xavier, like that, like
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: his performance in Logan is terrific. You really felt like
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: he was somebody who was in touch with what people
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: were about and, and he loved doing what he did. And, uh,
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: and yeah, you just, every experience and, and he did
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: Moby Dick on TV, a Christmas Carol on TV. Those
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: are great ones to watch, dig them up, uh, on,
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: on Amazon prime.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: They're there. Hey, real quick, such a great human real quick.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: We're just running out of time, but real quick, what
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: is your homework for Curtis?
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: Oh, my homework for Curtis is actually, if he's going
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: to be watching anything for Halloween this weekend, to watch
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: the remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers from 1978,
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: which I put up there as one of my great
