Hour 3: October 7th events today in NYC · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, there are two executions that are getting a lot
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: of attention. I know executions always get a lot of attention,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: but these two are unusual because they are firsts. Well,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: one is the first since 1961, but somebody surviving two
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: lethal injections is unprecedented. And Krista Pike, who survived Tennessee's
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: attempt to put her to death via lethal injection last week,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: will be in court Wednesday, apparently. She is speaking. She
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: seems to be coherent at this point. So it is
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: a full recovery at this point. Pike has been hospitalized
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: for nearly a week after being injected by two fatal
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: doses of pentobarbital. On Tuesday, her attorney said she was
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: finally conscious and speaking, though she continues to receive critical
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: medical care and suffered some damage to her arms, but
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: no damage that is discernible at this point to her
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: heart or to her brain. Her prognosis remains a little
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: bit unclear, but at a minimum, they expect a recovery,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: even though it will be a lengthy recovery. And the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: reason this is all coming from the defense attorney's The
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: reason they keep talking about a lengthy recovery is because
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: they say that she should not be put to death
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: while she is recovering. And so a recovery that's going
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: to take a year would be wonderful for her. A
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: recovery that's going to take 10 years would be wonderful
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: for her. In the meantime, Krista Pike and her attorneys
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: are suing the state for cruel and unusual punishment. That's
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: why they're going to be having a hearing tomorrow. I
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: read that from CNN about Krista Pike being there, and
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: she's not going to be there. She's not going to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: be there. It's going to be her attorneys that are
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: going to be representing her, and they're coming after the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: state on this, and they should. They absolutely botched it.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: The head of the prisons had to resign over this.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: And listen, this was 23 years in the making from
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: when she was sentenced. 23 years it took. And tens
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: of millions of dollars. And then they botch it. This
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: is the whole reason I'm against the death penalty.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Just for this.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not against it in theory, but the
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: way it is applied now, it makes no sense.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Side issue.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Every time there's lethal injection, no matter who it is,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: whoever the attendants are, you know what they do first
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: before they find the vein and they inject you?
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: They swab you down with alcohol.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: I know, that's... I always wondered– wait a second.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: The guy or the– well, mostly it's guys.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: In fact, Krista Pike is the first woman to face
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: execution in Tennessee in 200 years.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: 200 years. But they swab you down with alcohol.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Make sure you don't get an infection.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Well, in this case– In this case, maybe it
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: could have helped a little bit. So it's become, believe
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: it or not, a political issue.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Now, Governor Bill Lee– I was proud of the fact
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: that he had four slated for execution. She was the first.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Didn't quite work out as they had hoped. But I
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: didn't know he's not running for re-election. Marsha Blackburn, who
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: is the senator, is running for the governorship. And she's
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: made this now the campaign issue. No, you got to
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: give her the electric chair. And as you mentioned, Natalie,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: the last time she originally requested hanging because she says,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: my veins are so small.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: I always have a hard time taking any kind of
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: an injection. So hang me instead.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: She almost had a premonition of this, honestly, because she
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: really said she would rather have another way.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: And that is one of the things that's going to
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: be brought up tomorrow when they go to court is
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: that she didn't want this and they turned her down
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: for another method. So that's definitely going to come up.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to avoid the death penalty, though,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and that's what they're trying to do. They're not going
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: to avoid the death penalty because the governor really had
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: a good case when he said, it's not my decision.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: This is what the people want. This is the people
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: voted for this. They want this overwhelmingly. And then when
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you talk to the mother of the victim who traveled
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: there to watch this, and do you know nobody apologized
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: to her? Nobody said, I'm sorry. Nobody was there to
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: console her. They were so worried about themselves and then
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: screwing up. They didn't realize there's this crying woman.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Whose daughter was tortured, almost had her head cut off,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: who was there to finally see justice, and then had
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: to drive home.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: I can't even imagine the trauma of that mother.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: No.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: I can't even imagine.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: And that's why.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, Krista Pike, I'd rather put her in prison
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and just forget about her. Now she's become some type
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: of a pseudo-celebrity.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: But there is a potential way to stay the execution.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: We know it won't be the governor. The United States
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Supreme Court has ruled in the past you can't execute
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: if they don't understand. Now, she's going to come into court,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: but she may not be fully cognizant, if you understand
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: This has been done before. Remember Vinnie the Chin Gigante.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: If you're not fully cognizant, the United States court decision
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: says you cannot execute. So I would think that might
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: be a strategy, since they've talked with their client. And
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: I don't think the client wants to die. Some people do,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: but I think most clients facing the death penalty want
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: to live.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: And if you read.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: It between the lines of what the attorney is saying,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: this is going to be a long, she's still in
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: critical condition, even though the hospital's not saying that. She's
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: still in critical condition. She's not aware of what's going on.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: What you're saying makes a whole lot of sense when
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you listen to what he says.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Well, apparently she was on a ventilator. I know what
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: that's like. I was on a ventilator once and they
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: had to remove the drug from her system, you know,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: so it wouldn't stay. So it took a process and
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: there's burns on her arms. In the process, she was
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: handcuffed and shackled to the bed, which this happens no
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: matter who you are. If you're in the custody of
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: the state or the county or the city, or the
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: federal government, whatever medical procedure, you are handcuffed and shackled.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: I saw that myself in Bellevue after I had been
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: shot and was recovering. Every second bed was from somebody
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: in Rikers and they were all handcuffed and shackled.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: But this will be interesting today. It is going to
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: be really fascinating. That's a tremendous point.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I will tell you this, and this is as an aside,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: because you were talking about what executions have been like
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: in the past and and checking for veins and putting
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: some alcohol in. When John Wayne Gacy was killed, I
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: was allowed in two days before to see where he
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: was going to be held, where they were going to
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: put him on the gurney, and to see the execution
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: room and where they push all the buttons to first
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: put him to sleep and then second to give him
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the lethal injection. I will tell you what's really fascinating.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: They have either two or three sets of buttons, and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: some of them are fake. Some of them don't do anything.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: But it's so that the person that executes doesn't know
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: it's them.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Now, is that– I'm thinking. I've been at two prisons
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: in Illinois, Joliet or Statesville. Statesville, right down where Ronald
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Reagan was born, Dixon, Illinois.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was in Joliet. That's where he was put
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: to death.
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: Oh, man.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: That is an ominous prison. That's where he was put
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: to death. It's so funny.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I went in and I talked to the warden and
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I said, okay, we're going to set up an interview.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: And he goes, oh, I'm not talking to you. I said, well,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: who's going to talk to us? And they said, nobody, nobody.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: You can take pictures. We're not talking about it. So
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I pretend that I was John Wayne Gacy and walk
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: through the entire process. Now there's another, what a big
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Emmy for that too.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Now there's another aspect to this as Marsha Blackburn, US
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Senate in Tennessee running for governor says, give her the
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: electric chair.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I didn't know this.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Pike initially rejected the electric chair because she's now a Buddhist.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: And This story has so many layers. It's so bizarre.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Did she, for some reason, and maybe this is not
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: right because I'm not looking this up.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I'm remembering this. Did she want to be shot? Did
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: she want to be executed by firing squad? No, hung.
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: Oh, hung.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: That's what it was. Okay. You get a choice, you see,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: in Tennessee.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: Can I ask a ridiculous question?
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: Why, being a Buddhist, would the electric chair be, like,
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: Being hung is better than electric chair.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: I wonder why.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Maybe you'll have a chance to ask a defense attorney.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: I got to know.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Something about your soul or your second life or something
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I have no idea.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: This whole story is a movie waiting to be made.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Let's quickly talk about the other execution. President Donald Trump
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: has approved the execution of Fort Hood mass shooter, uh,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Nidal Hassan.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Now, here you go.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: So I just said to you why I would be
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: against the death penalty. And then you hear a case
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: like Nidal Hassan where you're like, well, he should die.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: He's going to die by firing squad. It's going to
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: be the first military execution since 1961. But this guy
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: absolutely deserves it in November of 2009, you'll remember, he
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: killed 13 unarmed soldier at Fort Hood in Texas and
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: injured 23 others.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: And so he just won. on a rampage. And so, yeah,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: he deserves to die.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: And he was an army major shrink, a psychiatrist dealing
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: with men at Fort Hood, the largest army base in
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: the country who may have been suffering from post-traumatic stress.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: you know, coming back from being overseas in war. This
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: guy was pro-Taliban the whole way, and they never vetted that.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Out from this guy. That's amazing.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: The whole story was amazing at the time. So are
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: you a good parallel, Parker? Because there's some people that
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: cannot do it.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: No, four times I took the test.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: I failed on parallel parking but wouldn't bribe the guy who.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Gave me the test. So that's a big no is
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: what you're saying. Do you parallel park well, Natalie?
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: I'm decent. Decent.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Because we have maybe the best parallel parker in the world.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: He's coming up next. He just won a big award
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: for it. Plus, a chance to see A Bronx Tale,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the one-man show starring Chaz Palminteri. That's all coming up next. Well,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that pride themselves in their
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: parallel parking because I think it is a gift. If
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: you can do it well, you know you can do
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: it well, and you're not scared by any spot.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: You don't even drive, but when you did drive, that's right,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: parallel parking. I'll tell you a little story.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: The testing in Canarsie was given right by the last
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: stop of the LL train. It was called LL at
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Rockaway Parkway, Lousy Line, in the parking lot. So the
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: inspector was there. You came.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: You had to have your written test. Did you pass
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: your written test?
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Okay, now you take the driver's test, and if you
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: pass that, boom, you're going to get your license. I
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: took it four times, per parallel parking, I failed four times.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: My cousin Joey very astutely said, the instructor who's going
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: to make the decision doesn't like you because you have
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: long hair.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: He thinks you're hippie scum. But if you put.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: $ 20 right on the armrest, he'll take the bribe every
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: time and pass you.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: I refused four times. I failed. I've never had a
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: license because of that.
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: You, can you parallel park pretty well, Natalie?
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: I'm decent at it, yeah.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Are you?
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because you know what? I had to do it
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: so much.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I don't want to sound like the rain man here,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: but I'm an excellent parallel parker.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: Oh, well, that's good because I do hit the curb
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: a bunch of times.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I can make it into any spot on one shot,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: but I may not be better than Mario Zucca. In Philadelphia,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: they had a parallel parking contest. And 300 people wanted
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: to be a part of it. And they tested them
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: and they picked finalists. And so 15 people showed up
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: yesterday to see who would be the best parallel parker.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: And they had three competitions. Can you do it on
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: one shot? That was first. Then they had a second competition.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Can you do it? when it's a tight squeeze.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: When you only have like an inch, you're like, I
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: think I can fit in there.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Exactly.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: And then the third one was, can you do it
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: during duress or distractions? And for that, as you were
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: trying to park, they would send by, well, first they'd
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: have pothole construction right in back of it that you
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: could possibly hit. Then they had mummers walk by and
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: start playing their banjos. And then they, They had a
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: partially clothed person on a scooter ride by close to
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: your window to see if that would distract you. And
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: the winner, and now the first time ever, a champion,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: is Mario Zucca, who's now called One-Shot Mar.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: And here's his technique. It's all about visualizing.
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: It's all about spatial awareness, which as an artist, I
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: think I have pretty good spatial awareness. And you got
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: to get that first angle in just right. And then
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: from there, it's all about timing.
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: He takes it pretty seriously.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: He's an artist and an illustrator and the timing he
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: says is a big deal.
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: You got to cut it back just the right time.
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: Cause if you cut too late, you're going to hit
• 14:15
  Speaker 8: curb cut too early. You're probably going to hit the
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: person in front.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: And listen to this. He had a challenge for New York.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: I think New York needs to have their own championship.
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: And then, um, You know, if you let some Philly
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: people come up, maybe we'll put your money where your
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: mouth is, you know?
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: I think there would be some takers.
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: I'm actually was trying to think of what our distractions
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: would be, because of course we wouldn't have the mummers, right?
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: You know, nobody knows what that is around here.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Carjacker.
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: You know, put a mask on, put the 9mm in
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: the window.
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: I was thinking a pedicab blaring, you know, New York,
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: New York or something as you're going by.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: That, you know, we've got to come up with some stuff.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. Larry, why don't we reach out to them?
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: I'm sure we can get a bunch of really good
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: parallel parkers here and let the contest take place. You know,
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: this time somewhere in New York, the Philly contingent could
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: come up. I would say Brooklyn would probably be the
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: best place to do it because people are constantly having
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: to double park there and run into the bakery, get
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: their cannolis.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, why don't we do that? I think you should
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: have to eat while you're parallel parking.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, or put mascara on, not stab.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Yourself in the iris. Let's get some talkbacks. That's a
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: great idea.
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm a diehard Yankee fan, have been for more
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: than 70 years. But I don't hate the Mets. I
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: never understood that mentality. Why, if you like one team,
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: the Yankees, for example, you have to hate the Mets.
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: I hope the Mets do well. If the Mets go
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: into the World Series and they're not playing the Yankees,
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: I'm rooting for the Mets. I just never understood that
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: line of thinking.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Curtis? You're soft.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: 86, Red Sox, Mets, World Series. I was Switzerland because
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: I hated them both equally.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Fred, Fred the Barn Owl.
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: That's a great name.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: Fred, Fred the Owl.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Fred the Barn Owl. All right.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: That's the new owl in town to replace Flaco. It's
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: a Barn Owl, right? But what if it's a woman? Yeah,
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: that's the problem. We're going to need somebody with a
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: telescope to be able to figure that out.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: I don't know if you heard the last news. There's
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: a warehouse in China, the Timu warehouse that burned down.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: Total loss, $ 23.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: 41.
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: That was funny.
• 16:37
  Speaker 9: That's got to be talk back in the morning, right?
• 16:45
  Speaker 9: I don't get a vote, but if I voted. Now,
• 16:48
  Speaker 9: let's give away some tickets.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: I might not have any money.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I might not have a Cadillac, but I don't have
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: to look over my shoulder, and I'm proud of what
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I do, and I don't answer to anybody.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: My mother and father came to this country with nothing.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: And they died with nothing. Don't you dare disrespect your grandparents.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Do you hear me? And you're wrong. They tried to
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: give me a better life, and that's what I'm trying
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: to do. What better life? We don't even own a car.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: We ain't got money.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: We ain't got nothing.

  Speaker 7: Morning, guys.
• 17:45
  Speaker 10: Mostly sunny, a little bit warmer today, even though it's
• 17:47
  Speaker 10: pretty chilly right now. High 67 degrees today. Students at
• 17:51
  Speaker 10: Cornell University are expected to skip class today to protest
• 17:54
  Speaker 10: the school's handling of an alleged gang rape on campus
• 17:57
  Speaker 10: at a fraternity house. There were also some new details
• 17:59
  Speaker 10: about what allegedly happened when the accuser, known as Jane Doe,
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: first came forward.
• 18:04
  Speaker 11: Jane Doe testified before a Cornell panel. According to a
• 18:07
  Speaker 11: transcript of that testimony obtained by ABC News, Jane Doe
• 18:10
  Speaker 11: was unequivocal. I was prostituted and I was held up
• 18:14
  Speaker 11: like bait for a gaggle of men. She said, I
• 18:16
  Speaker 11: remember a dark room with shadows of men in and
• 18:19
  Speaker 11: out constantly. And I remember feeling like there was a
• 18:22
  Speaker 11: joke and I was not in on it. She ended
• 18:24
  Speaker 11: her testimony with a plea to her school. Please make
• 18:27
  Speaker 11: it safer for those I love and the community at large.
• 18:30
  Speaker 11: Remove those boys from campus.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: ABC's Erin Katursky.
• 18:33
  Speaker 10: A pair of suspects wanted for stabbing an off-duty NYPD
• 18:37
  Speaker 10: officer have been arrested in Massachusetts. The Department of Homeland
• 18:40
  Speaker 10: Security says D'Angelo Carabello and Snyder Meha are from the
• 18:44
  Speaker 10: Dominican Republic. They were both caught entering the country illegally
• 18:48
  Speaker 10: before they were released by the Biden administration.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: That's according to DHS.
• 18:53
  Speaker 10: Today marks three years since a deadly Hamas attack on Israel,
• 18:57
  Speaker 10: and now some city council members want a permanent memorial
• 19:00
  Speaker 10: to honor the victims.
• 19:01
  Speaker 12: The proposed memorial will be placed in the Mickey Carey
• 19:04
  Speaker 12: Garden in Gravesend, Brooklyn. Meanwhile, there are vigils in New
• 19:07
  Speaker 12: York City planned to remember the victims of the Hamas
• 19:10
  Speaker 12: attack on Israel, as well as protests scheduled against Israel's
• 19:13
  Speaker 12: actions in Gaza. Mayor Zoram Mamdani is expected to attend
• 19:17
  Speaker 12: a vigil this evening, and he also is meeting with
• 19:19
  Speaker 12: Palestinian New Yorkers. The mayor has condemned the October 7th attack,
• 19:23
  Speaker 12: but has also sharply criticized Israel's response. I'm Scott Pringle,

• 19:56
  Speaker 3: won a pair of tickets to see A Bronx Tale,
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: the one-man show starring Chaz Palminteri, Sunday, November 29th at
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: the Paramount in Huntington, Long Island. Tickets on sale now
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: at Ticketmaster.com. Another chance to win tomorrow at 825. Up next,
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: you've seen the protest spread all across France, growing from
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: school demonstrations. Both I and Larry will comment on that.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: So as we look at all the video coming over
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: from France, initial demonstrations in Paris, mostly that began outside
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: of schools, by many hundreds of demonstrators have spread to
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: now about 40 municipal locations. So from initially being just youth,
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: we now see the union members, parents, teachers, mass demonstrations.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: You haven't heard anything from Macron. who obviously was a
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: very strong president, but he's a lame duck. Everybody knows
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: it's next year's presidential elections they're waiting for, and Macron
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: has done nothing and really can't do anything because the
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: initial demonstrations were about, you froze the budget, no expenditures
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: in the public school system, everybody in private schools doing well,
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: and so now it's gotten completely out of hand. Police
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: departments in both the provinces and in the cities have
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: come in with the tear gas. Probably eventually have rubber bullets.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: But the country is in chaos. And what I could tell,
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: having been in France, is this is a tremendous opportunity
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: for the far right wing, Le Pen, because now people
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: are looking at that. They see a lot of different
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: people in these demonstrations. They see new Muslims. They see
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: new minorities. But they see a lot of leftists and
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: anarchists and the same old characters. So this is just
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: pumping them up. Because if they win the presidency, there'll
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: be a crackdown. They'll want to deport people. They'll want
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: to cut funding. They'll want to cap borrowing. And obviously
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: the left wing, the progressives, do exactly what they do here.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Spend more money that they don't even have. So there's
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: total chaos. And again, you look to the national leader, Macron,
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: who's a powerful figure internationally, but completely neutered and prostate
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: in terms of dealing with these outbreaks, Larry.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: And Donald Trump said something the other day about this
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: and blamed immigration. And listen, to a point he's right,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: to a point he's not right. I mean, these aren't
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: the immigrants that are protesting. These aren't the immigrants that
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: are now trying to burn down cities and getting violent
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: with the police. Some are, but not all of them.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: But the problem has been caused or exacerbated by uncontrollable migration. Now,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: he said that they were Muslims, and we don't know that,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: but most.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Of them are Arabs.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: And so you'll hear in interviews with the people protesting,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: they'll say, you know, the school class used to be 15.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Now it's 45. And there's no way you can teach
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: these kids with that many in the classroom. It's chaos.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: And the schools and all of the services throughout France
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: have been taxed beyond their ability to cover everybody. So
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: what does that sound like? I mean, we're a richer country,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: but look at New York City. I mean, look at
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: the billions that were spent on immigrants coming here under Biden.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: That's happening across the country. So, yes, the president went
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: too far in his comment, but he is right on
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: the core issue. The core issue is unbridled migration into
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: all the European countries. But France has had a particular problem,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: and all of their social services and their schools are
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: being taxed, and people have had enough.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, when I was here, I asked a
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: lot of the immigrants, where are you from, North Africa?
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Because France had a lot of colonies. There was a
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: time Europe carved up all of Africa. It wasn't like
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: an independent and autonomous country. They were all colonies, and
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: France had a lot. Senegal, French Guiana, Ivory Coast, Morocco, Tunisia,
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: and Algeria. You were given a French passport, so you
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: had the opportunity to come to France, and many of
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: them took that opportunity. I sure would have. And so
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: now you're dealing with second, third generation. Some of them
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: are Muslims. They're Orthodox Muslims. They practice. The big battle
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: originally was the hijab. The French, a secular society, did
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: not want women wearing hijabs. So I think what they
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: did is they said, okay, no hijabs in elementary school
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: or junior high school, but hijabs you can wear, you know,
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: the veils in high school and beyond. So there's been
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: this give and take prayers, you know, five times a
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: day in the streets of some of the larger areas
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: when you call to prayer. But this one... It's all
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: to do with the upcoming national election. Both sides are
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: geared up. And notice, we're so used to seeing Macron
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: get involved in everything. Ukraine, Russia, every international incident, our
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: war with Iran, right?
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: There's Macron. Notice, you haven't seen Macron. Because he's powerless.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: He is a lame duck. And they're waiting for the
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: next presidential election. So you see Le Pen, they have
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: their marches. The left wing, they have their marches. But really,
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: they are spending money they don't have. We're pretty much
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: in the same mode. We just print money, both sides.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: But the people on those streets, they're not doing this
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: for politics.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: No.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: They are extremely upset.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: And to Donald Trump's point, in 1990, the population of
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: France was 0.5% Muslim.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: It's now 10%.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: So that's, what is that, 10,000% that it's gone up?
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: So he does have a point, and it's just because
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: all of the people, they have unlimited migration in that country,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: as they do in many of the European countries, and
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: it's become an enormous problem. It's taxing the system far
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: too much. So I understand why Macron's not saying anything,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: because what can he say?
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: Well— He's partly responsible for this, but just think of
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: the history. Unlike ourselves, we were a colony that broke loose.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: France had colonies. Remember, they had the Paris Commune. To
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: the barricades, remember? Oh, I remember 68. They almost toppled
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: the government, the students. So they have a long history
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: of this. They almost have like a revolutionary fervor around this.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: We look at it and say... Boy, that's like George
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Floyd for us in 2020 when it was just total
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: chaos and mayhem and looting and people coming together and
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: taking advantage of the situation.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: They are ticked, but they're ticked at the immigration. When
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: you hear them talk about it, they're ticked at the immigration.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: It's because of it taxing the schools and it taxing
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: the government. There's just too much. We have the same
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: problem in this country. Too much money is being paid
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: for something that never should have happened.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: Come on, admit it.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: When you were with Joan Hamburg here at WOR, Natalie,
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: Les Mis at Arbe, how many times did you go
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: see that show, The Matinees?
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Les Mis to the barricades.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: It is one of my favorite shows.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: See, I knew it. I knew it.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: You would have taken to the streets if you were
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: in Paris, Natalie. Anyway, and dis any Americans along the way.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: By the way, up next, it's a horrible day, a
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: tragic day, a solemn occasion, the attack of October 7th.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: And we're going to sort of point out what may
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: be taking place in our city around this, and it
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: isn't all going to be solemn up next.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Third day.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Three years ago, and we were all shocked, Hamas had
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: planned an invasion of southern Israel. They were able to
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: break through the fence. None of the centurions were on guard.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: Even the automated guns were not working. It was a
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: high religious holiday. Hang gliders took them over the fence.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: It separated the Gaza from southern Israel. And then they
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: just streamed through. They went into the villages where many
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: of the Israelis and workers lived, some of them from
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: the Philippines, some of them Americans. And they just slaughtered.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: They raped. They killed and then.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: They took hostages back into the Gaza.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: They killed infants in front of their parents. It was
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: total slaughter, total man.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: So today you would think we would honor this solemn
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: occasion just by remembering what had taken place. Take the
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: politics out of it. These were people, innocents who were slaughtered.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: But I have a feeling tomorrow when we return, we
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: will find out, Larry, that there were many people who
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: exploited this issue. who will try to settle political scores
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: on a day where everybody should come together and agree, oh,
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: this is horrible.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: You may disagree.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, you didn't treat, you know, the Palestinians well in Gaza.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: This doesn't merit slaughtering people, especially by the duly elected
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: government Hamas that took all responsibility for it. It's not
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: like they said it wasn't us. And then also the
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: other question I've always asked is, Bibi was asleep at
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: the wheel the way our presidents, first Clinton and then
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: Bush 43, were asleep at the wheel for the attack
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: of 9-11. Everybody in response to that in the government
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: resigned except for Bibi because.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: He became the wartime prime minister. I get that.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: But I have a feeling it's not just going to
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: be solemn occasions.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: I think you're right too, but I don't want to
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: give any oxygen at all to those that would soil
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: this remembrance, this third year remembrance even more. And I
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: just want to say to the Jewish community and anyone
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: who is going to go out that I feel for
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: you on this day. It is a solemn day, and
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: I curse anyone that tries to soil that at all.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I try to read some of the remembrances. There's many
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: of them in all five boroughs, but there's too many.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: There's too many. So I'm sure that in your local community,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: you know where to go. But if someone shows up
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: It just shows how despicable they are that they won't
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: give you this day. And just remember that we know that.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: And we'll be following the politics of it because this
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: has become a huge issue nationally. Our support of Israel,
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: especially in the aftermath of the attack by Hamas in
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: southern Israel and the slaughter and the hostage taking.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: So that's different than October 7th. I understand it's because
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: of that. But why don't we just give the day?
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: You know, the day tomorrow.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: But remember, the candidates will be asked questions about, well,
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: what are your feelings on this day? And let's hope
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: they all stay very reserved.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Nobody bumps out of queue to try to score points with. quote,
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: the constituency, but you know that's not going to happen.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but judge them by that. You should judge them.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: If they take this day to make any type of
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Israeli statement, anybody running for office, they should lose. They
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: should lose because of that, and not because you may
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: agree or disagree with them, because it's simply inappropriate on
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: this one day. Let people grieve. Let people remember for
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: one day. You can get back to politics the very
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: next day. But if anybody does that, you have every
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: right to judge them on that because they should be
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: judged and they should be condemned.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: And in Israel, because they are facing a parliamentary election
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: at the end of October before our midterms, this has
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: perked up the opposition to say, Bibi.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: What did you know? When did you know it? Or
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: why were you asleep at the wheel?
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: And there have been no answers coming from him. So
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: even though there will be a solemn occasion in Israel,
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: the politics will not stop there. They're too close to
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: their parliamentarians. I know.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Just do it the next day. I even counsel them.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: And they probably will. Just do it the next day.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: I talked about how I enjoy ordering from Timu this
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: morning and the talkback of the morning and winner of
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: the Curtis Lewa and Larry Menti in the morning t-shirt.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: And now in the running for the talkback of the week...
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: who could win a C-Crane radio, had some news about
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: the warehouse in China.
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: I don't know if you heard the last news. There's
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: a warehouse in China, the Timu warehouse, that burned down.
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: Total loss, $ 23.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: 41.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: I still laugh. It's such a great line.
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: I've never ordered, but I'm eyeing this $ 9 sweatshirt that
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: looks so great.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: That's a professional joke. I know.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: I know it's a good joke.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Would you wear Timu tomorrow? Bring in something from Timu.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: I don't have anything, Timu.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: I've never ordered from there or Shane.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, really?
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: I never ordered clothes.
• 33:15
