Hour 1: Midterm outlook · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: So Larry, Natalie, our audience, a lot of campaigns last
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: night that didn't get any sleep, I can just tell you.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Because of all the neck and neck races that are
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: taking place from coast to coast, every last minute detail
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: is being attended to.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Are you going to get your vote out?
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: If you're really highly organized, Larry, you may have an
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: idea of what your vote is by 12 noon. If
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: you've really convinced the people who support you, we need
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: to know if you voted because they can then track you.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: And if you haven't voted, my God, your phone's going
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: to blow up. You're going to get text messages, emails.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: They're going to come to your door. And they don't
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: mind being treated like Jehovah Witnesses or Mormon missionaries. And
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: they know you have the doorbell camera and they'll actually
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: talk into the door. I know you're in there. I'm
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: out of here. A car will take you to the
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: polling location. We'll bring you back, especially in congressional elections
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: where sometimes a small handful of votes can determine the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: winner either way.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you think about it. It was air support before.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: It was $ 14 billion. This is like a war. They
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: went in and they advertised on radio and on television
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: across the country, $ 14 billion worth of advertising across the country.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: And now it's a ground game. Now you have to
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: get your people out there to get out your vote.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: And you have to knock on doors. You have to
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: call people. You have to text people. I mean, you're right.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: You're going to be inundated today with getting out the vote.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: And at stake– well, at this point, you must know
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: what's at stake. At stake is the future of the country.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: At stake is the next two years. Is it going
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: to be a complete stalemate with one taking the House
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: and the other taking the Senate, one party taking the House,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: the other taking the Senate? Is it going to be impeachment, impeachment, impeachment,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: impeachment and trials against Donald Trump if the Democrats take both?
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Or are we going to continue the way we've been
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: going along with Republicans– taking both houses, both chambers. Look,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: I don't think the latter is going to happen at
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: this point. I just looked at the Cook Report this
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: morning and we were talking about it. And as you know,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: I follow the Cook Report and subscribe to it because
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: it has been one of the best, if not the best,
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: in predicting these things. And it doesn't show good news
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: this morning for the Republicans when it comes to the
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: House especially. The Senate is absolutely in play, and I
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: do think that some of the things that happened over
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: the last week or so is going to have an effect. However,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I will tell you the bad news. Now, they had
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: seven in the Cook Report. They had seven states as toss-ups.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: They now have six. For some reason, even after the
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: events in Michigan, for some reason, they have moved Michigan
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: to leaning Democratic. So if you lose that one seat,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: you can't lose many more. The Democrats have to win
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: four to take control of the Senate. They have to
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: take four. If they only take three, it'll be a
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: 50 to 50 tie. And then J.D. Vance has the
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: deciding vote. So it's going to be razor thin in
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: the Senate tonight. But man, you know, you were just
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: talking about it a second ago, how close this is
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: going to be. This is a really monumental midterm election
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: so far. And I heard Ted Cruz use this line
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: last night in Texas. So far, the Democrats have been
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: out there in mass in early voting. There have been
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: millions of early votes already cast and mostly Democrats. So
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: if the election were to end today, the Democrats would
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: take the House and the Senate. And so this is
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: when Republicans are motivated. This is when Republicans like to vote.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: So this is your day. It's not a day to
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: stay home. It's not a day to make excuses. If
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: you have something going on today, you may just want
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: to make an hour for yourself to get out there
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: and vote because every vote is going to count in
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: this one. Yeah.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: And look, just some advice. You go to your polling location.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: It's always a mess up. Sometimes it's their fault. Sometimes
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: it's not their fault. Don't get into arguments because there'll
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: be constant delays.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Just ask.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: You just say to yourself, look, I just want an affidavit.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: You fill it out. They put it in a special box. Now,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: in some of these congressional elections, like Tierney, upstate New York,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: which only won like by 10 votes, they go to
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: that box the last thing because they first have to
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: prove you're registered. And they can do that. But they
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: don't have time sometimes when you're at the table. And
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: let's face it, some of these poll polls. Workers say,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: my God, you wonder if they could pass a Department
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: of Motor Vehicles test. They have a little difficulty. So
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: don't get into arguments. Don't wear political attire of any type. Like, Larry,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: you see, I'm wearing my, you know, the people's mayor.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I can't go in with that. Don't tell me none
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: of them. can't go into so don't even try to
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: get cute just don't wear any political sort of markings
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: on you whatsoever buttons whatever because they may just put
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: you outside you get in a huff and a puff
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: no no just abide by their rules Make sure you
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: get your ballot in in plenty of time. And I
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: want to start, Larry, before we talk about your great
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: coverage tonight for all the election results. I want to
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: start because everybody is into this now. The Curtis Sliwa
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: political prediction market.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Everybody's into this now. Why can't I? Everybody has a podcast.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Why can't I have the Curtis Sliwa political prediction marketplace?
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: So I'm predicting and I'm going on the high side.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: That the Democrats will have, when all is said and done,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: and you'll be disputed races that don't get resolved for
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: a whole day, sometimes weeks, whatever, 240 Democratic seats. And
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: in the Senate, I think when all is said and done,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the Democrats will have 53 seats.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: So either I'm going to be eating a lot of
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: crow tomorrow.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Or people are going to say, my God, I'm ready
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: to fund the Curtis Leeward prediction marketplace.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Look, Larry, everybody else is doing it. Why can't I
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: do it? No, you're right.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: And it's absolutely possible. The number you threw out there
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: is absolutely possible. That's what's so fascinating about this election.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: If you look at the polls, it's really bad for Republicans.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: But remember, the polls have been embarrassingly wrong in some
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: of the past elections. You remember when Hillary Clinton ran
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: against Donald Trump, everybody thought that Hillary Clinton was going
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: to win. Including Donald Trump.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: The most surprised man in the world on that stage
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: that night when they said, Mr.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: President. What?
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: What?
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: And then Hillary got into a fetal position at Jacob
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Javits Center for a full month.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: She couldn't get off the podium. No, I didn't lose.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Just say it ain't so.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: But these are the kinds of the political drama that
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: takes place no matter what the polls say, no matter
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: what the prognosticators say. But Larry, you're going to have
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: some great coverage tonight. Can you give many listeners an
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: opportunity why they should listen to you at 710WOR and
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: all your contributors?
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're going to have people across the country. We're
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: certainly going to have people in Texas and in Ohio.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: And there's going to be just a national ballot watcher
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: nationally that's going to check in every once in a while.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Daria Albinger is going to be here. And Andrew Whitman,
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: who is a political aficionado, you hear him on WOR overnights.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: But this guy knows local races better than anybody I've
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: ever talked to before. We're also going to have some guests,
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: including Rob Astorino. We're going to have Mark Kelly coming
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: in also as well. So in New Jersey, J.C. Polanco,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: the political aficionado that is used on all of the
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: local stations, he's going to come and talk to us first.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: So we have a night full of people that we're
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: going to talk. And remember, we're going on the air
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: at 7 o'clock, from 7 to 11 o'clock. At 7 o'clock,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: South Carolina closes. That's going to be the first of
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: the tightrope. Senate races. We're going to learn a lot
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: from that race. Those early races, and then at 8
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: o'clock you're going to have Maine and some of the
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: other races. We're going to learn Ohio. We're going to
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: learn so much from those early races. If all of
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: them were to switch and go Democratic, it's going to
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: be a bad night for Republicans.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Can I do this? Can I have permission, Natalie, our
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: producer extraordinaire?
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: That if, in fact, Joe Bartlett was wrong with his
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: predictions about the demise of Darlene Graham. the Republican Senate
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: who replaced her brother who passed away. Can I wake
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: him up in the wee hours of the morning?
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Cause you know, I'm nocturnal.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I think he would so appreciate that phone call.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: It would be amazing. It would be historic if Darlene
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Graham were to lose. I mean, I don't know when
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: the last time Fritz Hollings, I think was the last
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: democratic center of South Carolina, probably back in the eighties
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: or nineties. I mean, It has been a long time.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: The most surprising one would be Texas. You have to
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: go way back, maybe to the 50s, to find the
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: last Democratic senator there. But all that's on the line tonight.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: All of that is possible. History is possible tonight. You
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: can change much of that by just getting out to vote.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: That's the most important thing you can do personally right
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: now because the way it looks right now, now with
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: the early voting, we need a wave of Republican votes
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: to help the Republicans.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, this is their day. Remember, Republicans are used
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: to voting on Election Day. This is what Republicans bank on.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: You know, they're doing early voting. They're doing mail-in ballots.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: A lot of states, it's required. You got to do mail-in.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: There's no polling location to go to. So, you know,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: they're segueing. But I would say you are absolutely correct.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: When I check the polling locations on Election Day, it's
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: mostly Republicans. Most of the Democrats have, you know, done
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: their duty and voted either early voting or by mail.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: So they don't even bother to show up at the
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: polling location. So if you were doing an impromptu poll,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: you'd say, wow, Republicans are doing great. Well, hold on
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: a second. The Dems did great in early voting and
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: in mail-in voting. So now it's a question of the count.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: And the states vary, Larry. Some of the states, boom,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: you'll know right away. Other states, you'll be waiting a
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: month to Sunday.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: And you can't pay attention to the polls right now.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: You can't pay attention to the early voting right now.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Remember the last midterm elections. when i was supposed to
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: go and the republicans one i will buy six percentage
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: points so you can't look at the polls the polls
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: have been awfully wrong especially when it comes to the
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: republican vote so don't get demoralized.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: You just got to vote. And let me tell you something.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Failure will be with us in studio 8 to 9.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: He has traveled all over the country doing his stand-up shows.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: He'll give us a pretty good idea of what's transpiring
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: across America. But up next, we're going to discuss the
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: man who walked around the world.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: He walked around the world, plus a chance to see
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Def Leppard and the Google Dolls at 825.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: This is just an amazing story. 28 years ago, a
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: man named Carl Bushby set out on an adventure to
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: walk around the world. And yesterday, he finally finished that journey.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Bushby finished the walk back at the beginning, where he
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: started at his mother's home in Hull, England. So the
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: first leg of the trip was actually a plane ride
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: to Chile, where he started his track on November 1st, 1998.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: From there, he walked 31,000 miles through four continents and
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: more than two dozen countries. Part of the trip included
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: crossing ice over the Bering Strait and swimming across the
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Caspian Sea. The trip was delayed. That's the reason it
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: took him so long because of issues behind his control,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: like the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID pandemic. So
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Bush is now 57 years old and he is finally home.
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: The math will tell you you can do it in
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: like five, four, five years. But there were these gaps
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: that we had to get across. So we suspected that
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: 12 years plus, but never in our wildest dreams would
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: we ever imagine 28 years.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: So the amazing thing about it, he's talked about how
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: kind people were around the world, that the only reason
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: he made it, because he didn't have a lot of finances.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: The only reason he made it was because of the
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: kindness around the world. And he said, that's what I
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: learned more than anything. Instead of watching the news and
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: seeing what the world is like, get out and experience
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: because it's full of wonderful people.
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: Quite literally, the world was my support network every step
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: of the way. I mean, that's one of the biggest
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: takeaways from this journey is we live in an incredibly
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: good world.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: So now he's home and everybody's, of course, asking the question,
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: so what's next?
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: What's scary about being 57 years old, living in the
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: basement of your mother's house with nothing except your bags?
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: The real definition of a Mama Luke. 28 years on
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: the road.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I'd like to know how many shoes did you wear
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: through in 28 years? Because you walk four continents. Man,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: and you know the roads in some of these places.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: They're barely roads. So there's a lot of wear and
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: tear on your shoes. But it gives new meaning to
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: what we grew up with when we were kids and
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: we'd watch TV and we'd see. I'd walk a mile
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: for a camel. Remember the guy has his shoes up
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: with the hole in the bottom of his... shoes i'd
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: walk a mile for.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: Him this guy you're thinking about his shoes that's what
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: this story makes you think about his shoes.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah because that's that remember if you're if your dogs
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: ain't comfortable.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: I mean they're going to be howling all along the way.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking about like what life was like in 1998
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: versus 2026 right so he started off with very rudimentary
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: cell phones, no social media, no real internet connection on
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: your phones. So, you know, the journey was maps, asking
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: for directions.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: And the kindness of people just saying, Hey, where can
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: I stay tonight? You know that where, where can I
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: eat tonight? Think about how much money he needed. Now
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: he did have financings, but there was, there was some
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: people that were financing him. That's why when the crash happened,
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: He was out of money. He was stuck.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: But the sponsors he could have had. He could have
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: had a shoe company. New Balance could have sponsored him.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Or Rockport for senior citizens.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: And I'm sure a documentary is coming. I mean, there
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: has to be. And by the sound with the music
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: in the background, you can see already that there's going
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: to be a big documentary. Let's get to some talkbacks.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Of course, what you want to talk about. are the
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: midterm elections.
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Larry and Curtis, as you've been speculating, expect a
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: really big blue wave tonight. I do think there is
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: a possibility Republicans may hold on to the Senate probably
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: by 50-50 with Vance being the deciding vote, but it's
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: going to be very, very blue. And the last Texas
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: Democratic senator was Benson, if you remember him from the 90s.
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: He ran for vice president as well.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he was put in, though, by the governor. Did
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: he get elected? I don't think he got elected. We'll
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: have to look at it.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Remember his famous line, you know, I knew JFK, you
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: know JFK. The vice president was chosen simply because he
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: was young. From Indiana, the senator looked very young and
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: couldn't spell potato. If you remember, that was the whole election.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Dan Goyle.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: That's right, the whole election.
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: Larry.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Larry.
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: My question is to you, I want you to sell
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: me why I should vote Republican when I have done
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: nothing but suffer for the last almost two years now.
• 16:50
  Speaker 9: Worse than I did under Biden. And then the Republicans
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: try to tell me that inflation's only up at 1.9
• 16:55
  Speaker 9: when that is nothing more than another lie. It's actually
• 16:59
  Speaker 9: at 6.8. And that's true, Larry. So sell me.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Why do I vote Republican? Well, it's not a 6.8.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, you have to go by the official figures.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: You can't just make up your own. And man, you
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: must not have remembered the Biden years, all those people
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: that died during the pandemic, everything that was closed down,
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: the schools that were closed down, record high inflation, much
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: higher than it is now. more than double than it
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: is now. You don't remember the gas prices were higher
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: than they were now. And you don't remember the debacle
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: of Afghanistan. Oh, and an open border. I could actually
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: go on and on.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Larry, you know who doesn't remember those years? Biden himself.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's true. Now let's get to Daria. Let's get
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: to Daria Alviger with the 630 News. Daria.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Morning, guys.
• 17:42
  Speaker 10: Partly cloudy today. We'll see a high of 69 degrees.
• 17:46
  Speaker 10: The polls are open across New York, New Jersey, and
• 17:48
  Speaker 10: Connecticut on this election day. And the results... especially in
• 17:52
  Speaker 10: the House races could determine which party will control Congress.
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: In Alaska, where two men named Dan Sullivan are on
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: the ballot, a judge has thrown out the Justice Department's
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: effort to block certification if the incumbent loses. In Kansas,
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: which has not sent a Democrat to the Senate since 1932,
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: Democrat Adam Hamilton has a small edge over Senator Roger
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: Marshall in the final polls. In Maine, Susan Collins is
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: trailing in the polls as she fights for a sixth term.
• 18:18
  Speaker 10: That's ABC's Karen Hua with a look at some of
• 18:20
  Speaker 10: the national elections. There are gubernatorial elections in New York
• 18:24
  Speaker 10: and Connecticut today. New Jersey voters have a U.S. Senate race,
• 18:27
  Speaker 10: and here in the city, voters will be asked a
• 18:29
  Speaker 10: few quality-of-life ballot questions. The polls will close at 8
• 18:32
  Speaker 10: in New Jersey and Connecticut, 9 p.m.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: In New York.
• 18:35
  Speaker 10: And make sure that you join us tonight for live
• 18:38
  Speaker 10: election coverage hosted by Larry Mendte. It all starts at
• 18:40
  Speaker 10: 7 o'clock right here on 710WOR. Subway surfing lands a
• 18:45
  Speaker 10: Brooklyn teen in the hospital.
• 18:47
  Speaker 11: Authorities say a 14-year-old boy landed on the tracks of
• 18:49
  Speaker 11: the JM & Z lines near the Hughes Street station
• 18:52
  Speaker 11: in Williamsburg around 3.41 p.m. on Monday afternoon. Power was
• 18:56
  Speaker 11: cut off from the station three minutes after the incident.
• 18:59
  Speaker 11: The teen was taken to the hospital in stable condition.
• 19:03
  Speaker 11: I'm Lizzie Radabali, WOR News. And it's not just Election
• 19:06
  Speaker 11: Day today.
• 19:07
  Speaker 12: Today is National Sandwich Day, credited to John Montague, the
• 19:11
  Speaker 12: fourth Earl of Sandwich, a real person from a real place.
• 19:15
  Speaker 12: The story goes, Lord Sandwich was deep in a card
• 19:17
  Speaker 12: game in 1762 and requested a meal of meat between
• 19:21
  Speaker 12: two slices of bread so he could keep gambling and
• 19:24
  Speaker 12: eat with one hand. He didn't invent it, but he
• 19:27
  Speaker 12: did give it the name. So today, look for deals,
• 19:30
  Speaker 12: and sharing's okay. I'm Bree Tennis.
• 19:33
  Speaker 10: The Knicks beat the Nets 103-90. Next news, 7 o'clock,
• 19:36
  Speaker 10: bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.

• 19:43
  Speaker 3: and Ohio elections. And don't forget to listen tonight for
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: our election coverage from 7 to 11 p.m. Well, you
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: all know how quickly an emergency can happen. How quickly
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: just a common event like sitting down to eat can
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: turn into that emergency. Choking is one of those moments, right?
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: It can happen to anybody. It can happen to a child.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: It can happen to a parent. It can happen to
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: a grandparent. And when it does, seconds matter. That's why
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: I want to tell you about LifeVac. LifeVac is the
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: first and only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device to be used
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: for second-line treatment when recommended choking protocols have been followed
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: without success, like the Heimlich or just clearing someone's throat.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: And here's what's remarkable. LifeVac has helped save over 7,000
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: lives now worldwide. Those are real people we're talking about,
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: real families, real second chances. Preparedness matters. You should have
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: one of these in your home. This should be in
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: every cafeteria. It should be in every restaurant. Having the
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: right tool nearby can make all the difference in the world.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: So learn more about LifeVac today at LifeVac.net. That's LifeVac.net.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Visit LifeVac.net. And see how you can be ready when
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: it counts. Well, the only Republican pickup from the Democrats
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: may be in Michigan. Michigan is the race that everyone's
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: looking at because it is the most vulnerable Democrat in
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: the country, Abdul El-Sayed. And he was on 60 Minutes
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: this week. and he had a rally. He's been trying
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: to get out the vote. It's razor thin right now,
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: so it is possible, especially if you look at the
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: polls in the primary, where he was way ahead and
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: ended up winning by a thin margin. Now he's winning
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: by a thin margin, so if the polls are incorrect
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: like they were in the primaries, he's going to lose.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: And I don't know, Curtis, I don't think he helped
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: himself on 60 Minutes. Two of the controversial things that
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: he's been dealing with Well, let's start with this one.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Our transgender kids and male athletes playing with female athletes
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: and 60 Minutes asked him about that and he doubled down.
• 22:10
  Speaker 13: What happens with transgender kids on sports teams and so on, right?
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: Like these are places where rights are in conflict, right?
• 22:17
  Speaker 13: I don't know that that's actually true. I think we
• 22:19
  Speaker 13: manufacture these social issues. You can get access to everything
• 22:23
  Speaker 13: and anything in the whole world, all the world's information
• 22:25
  Speaker 13: in your pocket. The notion somehow that you are going
• 22:29
  Speaker 13: to prevent your child from being exposed to something that
• 22:32
  Speaker 13: you may find disagreeable and that that is going to
• 22:36
  Speaker 13: be because of school is so profoundly outdated.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: The strange thing is, all he talked about was the
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: locker room. He didn't talk about the fact that young
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: girls are getting injured across the country having to play
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: against boys. He didn't talk about the fact that they're
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: losing scholarships. because they have to compete against a male
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: who is going to beat them when they were expected
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: to win. Didn't talk about that at all. All he
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: talked about was what it was like in the locker room.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: And then came Israel.
• 23:10
  Speaker 13: I don't ever get the question of, does Palestine have
• 23:12
  Speaker 13: the right to exist?
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Does Palestine have the right to exist?
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Does Israel have the right to exist?
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: Yes, if there is a shared understanding.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Wait, you said.
• 23:22
  Speaker 13: Let me just understand. I believe, and this is the
• 23:25
  Speaker 13: problem with this debate, we start from where we sit
• 23:28
  Speaker 13: rather than start from principles.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Just danced around the issue, Curtis.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but again, you know, if you're going to talk Israel,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: you're going to talk Palestinians, it's sort of like that
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: should not be the primary issue in the state of Michigan.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: There's so many other prevalent issues. But because it's become that,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Congressman Haley Stevens, who had been with Mike Rogers the
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: day before Sunday in a church pew supporting him in
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: a black church, she went home and said, you won't
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: hear from me anymore.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Well, she may not.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Have spoken, but she issued an 890-word manifesto in which
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: she critiqued all the reasons why it was she and
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: she alone who made this decision to publicly endorse Mike
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Rogers in the Because all the trolls, you see, in campaigns,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: there are trolls, artificial intelligence, they're triggered off. You get
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: thousands of emails, texts, calls, you know. And she said,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Jason did not make this decision. How sexist of you. Now,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: if that wasn't enough, her manifesto, then her mother. right?
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: This is Congresswoman Haley Stevens, who's broken ranks with El-Said
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: and is endorsing Mike Rogers. The mother comes out and
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: does interviews and said, you all should be ashamed of yourself.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: You know my daughter, she's a congresswoman. It was her
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: and her only. Jason had no role in making this decision.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: This is total sexism. And I'm saying, wow, in the
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: waning days of the campaign, this has become the number
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: one issue. So the way I look at it, Larry,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: He'll lose the Jewish vote, but he gets the Muslim vote.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: It offsets one another, and now it's to the rest
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: of the people in Michigan to make the decision.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: And she has been attacked relentlessly now for making this decision,
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: which makes me to believe it has some weight. Her
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: coming out, and it's not just her. There are many
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: Democratic congressmen and representatives, state representatives, who and mayors that
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: have come out and said they can't vote for El-Sayed either,
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: which is why I was surprised. We let off the
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: show today. I was talking about the Cook Report. The
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: Cook Report took the race and took it from toss-up
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: to leans Democratic. That was a shock to me. They've
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: had it as a toss-up the entire time.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: We oftentimes compare El-Sayed to Zoran Mandami. Zoran Mandami smoothly. Remember,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: in order to secure the nomination... He befriended Adonis Rodriguez,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: who is the congressman from Washington Heights. He befriended Velazquez,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: the congresswoman, and then turned on them and supported his
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: own DSA candidates to replace them.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Remember, he did it smoothly.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: But with El Saeed, it's like right in your face. No,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit down. I'm not going to
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: try to mend the, you know, fences. He's like the
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: bull in the china shop because you see how buffed
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: he is. Whereas you notice Zoran is smoother. You get
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: the same results, but initially, oh no, why can't we
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: be friends? Why can't we be friends? It's come down
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: in this election. El Saeed does not want to be
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: friends with Congresswoman Haley Stevens, and she likewise does not
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: want to be friends with him.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: And a guy that nobody knew, the.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Fiancé Jason, is now a well-known person throughout Michigan.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: But, you know, right next to Michigan is Ohio.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: And that's another big state because originally I even thought
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: it's red. You know, it's going to stay red. But
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Sherrod Brown comes back. He's ahead
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: in the polls, if you believe the polls, against Husted.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Then you have Vivek. He tried his strategy against Dr.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Anton. You have that congressional race, you know, with Moreno,
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: the senator. It's his brother. Oh, my God. There's so
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: much drama in Ohio.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: And J.D. Vance was in Toledo yesterday. and talking about
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: his roots in Ohio and how important this election is. So, man,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: they've been flooding Ohio. I mean, Michigan, Ohio is where
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of the money is going nationally.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Vivek is in trouble. That ad that
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: you're talking about with Amy Acton's mother, and she had
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: some problems in that family, and Amy Acton's mother came
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: out and said, no, she's a liar, you can't vote
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: for her. That seemed to have a lot of backlash,
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: and we know that it didn't work because Vivek Ramaswamy's
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: campaign has pulled the ad now, and they're not talking
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: about it anymore. So, and Amy Acton doesn't want to
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: talk about it anymore either, but I think that had
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: a negative effect. Listen, he was already behind in the
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: polls before that happened, but I think that might be
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: the death knell in that race. I got a feeling
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: that's going to be a Democratic pickup.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, up next, Larry, you're going to be
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: very impressed. Who just signed on to the Curtis Sliwa
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: initiative on what is going to be on the back
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: of the ballot in New York City. There are five initiatives.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Extraordinarily critical. I say vote no. The mayor says vote yes.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: I'll break it down to you up next. And then
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Natalie will tell you who came out of nowhere to support.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Me against Oron.
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: This is big. Well.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Unbelievable, Natalie, while going through her post yesterday on 710WR.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: How can people go through your post, Natalie? What do
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: they go to?
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, me personally?
• 28:59
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 29:00
  Speaker 12: No, no.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: The WOR posts that you do.
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: You just follow 710WOR on Instagram or Facebook. Or you
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: can follow me, too.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: Natalie Vaca.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: And you know who is following the post on the
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: initiatives that are on the back of the city ballot?
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: I'll explain momentarily because it's imperative that you turn that
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: paper ballot over and fill out those initiatives.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Who's that actor there?
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: John Leguizamo. So you were out there. You put a
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: video out about the initiatives and to vote no, and
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: he agreed with you.
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: And he let his 2 million plus people let no also.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: So.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Imagine that.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Because, you see, it's local. It's local control. Now, he
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: comes from Jackson Heights. Obviously, he's a big star now. Movies, TV.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: How many productions has he been in?
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: It's like 162 TV and movies in his career.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Can I use this against Joe Neumeier on Friday that
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: I got this guy following me?
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, sure.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: I'm sure he'll be impressed.
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: I actually have to see if he follows you, too.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: I don't know how he found your post, but, you know,
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: you show up on feeds. But I loved his reaction
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: to it. Vote no, my New Yorkers. Don't let him
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: trick you.
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: F that.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Trick knowledge. So let me explain it very simply. This
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: is put together by whoever is the mayor. Every year
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: it's called charter revision. So Zoran and his Zoranistas were
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: able to post five.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: They chose to post five.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Proposition one, and it's all bureaucratic mumbo jumbo, is, oh,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: if you want a sidewalk cafe, you want a flower pot,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: you don't have to go to the council person any longer,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: the community board, or get input from the people in
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: the neighborhood. The sidewalks are already so crowded, Larry. You
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: just come to City Hall. We'll give you the easy pass.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: I said, mine aren't on mine. Hell no.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Where's the oversight? Where's the community involvement? So no on
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Proposition 1. Proposition two is that they wanted oversight on
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: all the contracts, only city hall. That'll lead to corruption.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: You want city council looking at it. You want a
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: community board analyzing it. You want people's input to come
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: to public hearings. A lot of the elected officials, they
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: don't like that because the gadflies show up and, you know,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: they're going to be heard. So they want to eliminate that.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: They want you to vote yes, I say vote no.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Number three, and this is the one That everybody can
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: relate to. Now, look at this as the title, technology.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Street safer, done faster.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Now, Larry, doesn't that sound good, right?
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Everybody's for street safer and that the street get, you know,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: paved faster, right?
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, you would be for that.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but there's going to be money attached to that, right?
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Department of Transportation is not going to have to ask
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: for permission to throw in more bike lanes.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: You know, there's a process.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Got to go to the community board, got to go
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: to the city council person, have to have public hearings.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: And those are public hearings that people turn out en masse.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: And this way the people can be hurt. So the
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: mayor just basically said, no, you come through City Hall. Oof,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: out of you, City Hall. I say vote no. Then
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Proposition 4 is you go to the Department of Buildings
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: to deal with all waterfront property that's owned by the city.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding?
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: The former Department of Buildings chairperson is on trial now
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: for corruption. It's the most corrupt agency of any in
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: the city, no matter who's the mayor. And then last
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: is the Rainy Day Fund. They're playing a shell game.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Because if we have a recession, and it could well
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: happen if there's an implosion in Silicon Valley. you know,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: they're moving around the money that you have to save
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: for a rainy day, you know, when there's going to
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: be an emergency. And so I just say, vote no
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: on every proposition. You have to have public oversight. You
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: have to have the other elected officials involved. That's why
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: you elect them, to represent you in your district.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: And this isn't just in New York. You really should
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: look at the ballot before you go in. They purposely
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: make either they use jargon to make it hard to
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: understand or they make it ambiguous or they make it
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: flowerly like you were just talking about there. They, you know, they, they, they,
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: make it sound like it's going to be something wonderful
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: without showing you the cost. There are some states that
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: insist that you have to have the cost in there.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: Every time you have a ballot question, you have to
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: have the cost. Apparently, New York doesn't have that, but
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: they should have that.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: It's the call, trust me, I'm Zoran.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: I'm the mayor.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: I would never screw you.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: Right, exactly.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding?
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Imagine an easy pass where everything has to go through
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: City Hall. And there's no checks and balances, no oversight,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: no citizen involvement. And the indignity of saying to you,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: the citizen who pays all the taxes. Just send in
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: a letter. You know where that letter goes to the
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: round filing cabinet. That'll never be read. But you do
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: have to dig into these. By the way, there's some
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: really important questions being asked across the country. Should citizens
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: be able to vote? I thought that was already illegal.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Should citizens be able to vote? Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Kansas,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: South Dakota, and West Virginia. And should you show voter ID?
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: You talked about California. It's also Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, North Carolina,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: and Ohio also have that initiative on there. And then
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: the other initiatives, I think it's four states. If you're
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: a male, you don't get to play as a female.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: We'll just make it very simple.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: That's right. Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, Nebraska, and Washington. You know
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: what the vote on that's going to be. Overwhelmingly across America.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: Even some of the Dems, you notice how they're moderating. Well,
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: I don't think men should be able to play against
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: women in sports.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Wait, you said this two years ago. No, no, no.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: You know, because they want to push. They know.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: That's where they're vulnerable. That's their Achilles heel. The cultural issues,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: we'll call it.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: Yes, but the votes on non-citizens are also going to
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: pass easily because most people in the country don't want
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: non-citizens to vote and they think it's already illegal. It's
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: also the voter ID is going to pass because you've
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: seen the numbers, the poll numbers on that. 80% of
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: the people across the country, it doesn't matter if they're black,
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: if they're Hispanic, women, male, everybody, conservative, Democrats, Republicans, all
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: of them across the board want that. So The fact
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: that that hasn't happened and we have one party that's
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: trying to hold that up is unbelievably suspicious.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Well, this is how the people can be heard, initiative
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: and referendum. And guess, say if you lose an initiative
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: and referendum one year, two years later, you get to
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: challenge it.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: And do it all over again.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, the man of the moment, John Decker, our White
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: House correspondent, the president of the United States, had his
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: closing remarks in D.C.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Yesterday.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: He'll give us a gauge if it was a rah-rah
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: pump-up speech or if there were other details that the
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: president wanted to get out to the nation before the
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: vote begins today. Remember, 6 o'clock, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: the polls are all already open. But right now it's
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: 7 o'clock, the news.
