Hour 3: Cornell legal troubles · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I've been here a few years now, Curtis, and done
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of stories and a lot of sick stories.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Nothing has made me more upset than this story of
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the psycho ex-cop accused of murdering a Brooklyn jogger. We
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: find out now that he returned to his job at
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: his school the very next day and was involved with children.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Some of the people are, the parents are just shaken.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: They were protesting at the school. Jasmine Cotto said, you
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: don't know who's teaching your kids these days.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: It's shocking.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Who vets these people? That's a great question. Who vets
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: these people? Considering he was discharged from the armed services
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: and he wasn't accepted as a New York City police officer,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: but he can teach kids? This story is so sick
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: in so many ways. We're talking about accused killer Syed Mosib,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: who was working as a teacher's aide at the school
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: when he allegedly went off the deep end and randomly
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: stabbed 28-year-old runner Katie Suarez. It is a story that
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: everybody was trying to solve at the time, if you remember.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: And then this happened on October 30th. Cops frantically searched
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: for Suarez, who was then on the lam, but he
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: was already back in the classroom on Monday, three days later.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: And then he was nabbed not till Saturday. So he
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: was in there all that time, which leads to the question.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: This is at PS 200 in Brooklyn leads to the question.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I know that. I know teacher's aides don't make a
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: lot of money and he's a teacher's aide. I know
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: they don't make a lot of money and I know
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: it's probably hard to find people for it, but seriously,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, didn't you do any kind of background check
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: on this guy? And it makes you concerned about who
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: is in the city schools right now. Who else got
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: through this sieve of looking into people's pasts? Apparently they
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: didn't do anything. Apparently, he just showed up and they said, okay,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: you're in. And he had this history, this history of
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: psychological problems. And, Curtis, you've done a lot of work
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: with the New York school system.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of anything like this? Yes.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: It's called the DOE now. It used to be the
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Board of Education. You know what the acronym for DOE is?
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: with a bloated budget of $ 44 billion. That's one-third of
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: the overall city budget. Dumbest organization ever. Now, there's no
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: excuse for this. He had applied for the NYPD, started
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: six weeks. He was called up by the Marines. He
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: had signed up for the Marines. Then the Marines washed
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: him on a psych disability. That's a public record. He
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: then tries to go back to the NYPD. They said, no,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: we can't have you on. It's a psych disability. Now,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: the Department of Education sees this on his employment record. Oh,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: he worked for the NYPD. Wait, do we know for
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: a fact they saw it? Of course they had to have.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Well, we're assuming they did. We're assuming they did any
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: kind of background check at this point. Well, remember what
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: they hide behind.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: HIPAA.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: You know, we're not privy to this information. Secondarily, the
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: new attitude in City Hall for Zoran Mondami and all
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: of his sycophants, toadies, and lackeys is that You, if
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: you're a landlord, you shouldn't know about the history of
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: any potential tenant job. If you're employing people, you should
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: never know about the background. The guy could have been
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: doing triple life without parole. It's none of your B.I.B.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Business.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: And I'll bet you the Department of Education will say, well,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: you know, we weren't permitted to pursue another city agency.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Don't wonder why was he seeking parole. a transfer to
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: the Department of Education after he had just left the
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: police department.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: To work with kids.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: That there's no background check, no psychological, no criminal background
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: check is what you're alleging for people that work in
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the city schools? Absolutely. I cannot believe that's true. Well...
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, it might be true, but I mean, how
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: horrendous would that be?
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: And you're almost.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: This is the only light at the end of this tunnel,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: this dark tunnel that this guy is in. maybe it'll
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: expose a huge problem in the school systems. All parents
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: should be worried right now. Who's with their kids.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: He has a history of psychotic behavior, a history. So
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: it wasn't a one offer. And then he came back
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: to being normal. His own mother has admitted he killed
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: a family pet. And, you know, study after study says
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: that if you torture or you kill animals and it's
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: likely you may go on to have the same kind
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: of behavior towards humans. So he's going to go into
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: court today. He's disheveled. You can see he clearly is
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: out of his mind. Legitimately, he's not playing it up.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: And you say, you mean to tell me this guy
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: would show up as some of the other employees at
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: PS20 there in Sheepshead Bay have said, disheveled, talking to himself.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Did you see his perp walk?
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, his eyes?
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Right away, I looked at my wife and I said,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: there's something wrong with this guy. Look at his eyes.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, he wasn't trying to hide. He was just,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: he looked like he was in a daze.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Even if the principal, see, principals are responsible for all
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: hiring now. Even if the principal didn't want to deal
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: with it, the shop steward for the UFT, Union of
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Failed Teachers, It probably was brought to that person's attention
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: and they chose to say nothing.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: This was an obvious case. Disheveled, mumbling to himself, showing
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: up for work.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Let me just put a message out to parents because,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: you know, I have four kids and I have grandkids.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Keep a lookout at your kids' schools who is really
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: in contact with them. And if you have any problems,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: if you have any strange feelings, if you were just
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: worried at all, bring it up. Talk to other parents
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: about it because you have power in these situations, especially
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: if you get more than just yourself. You get a
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: conglomeration of teachers. I mean, parents, you have all the
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: power in the world. But I can't believe nobody, nobody
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: at that school said, hey, this guy's weird. We should
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: check him out.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I think we're going to find that out as this
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: washes out.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I hope so.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: That they became aware of it and they said, well,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: you know, that's protected. Protected information.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: Now!
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: That's a bigger story.
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: What you just talked about at the end of that,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: that's a much bigger story.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: It's going to wash out. Wow.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Now let's go back to Cornell. Apparently, if you are
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: a female, be careful of Cornell. It's bad enough what
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: happened up there recently. Another case has surfaced, a guy
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: named Esat. Imagine this name. This is his legal name,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Brave Boy. Esat Brave Boy apparently was not so brave.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: He violated 10 young ladies at Cornell over a period
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: of time.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: He wrote for the school newspaper.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: The information was brought to the The people who are
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: responsible for the conduct of students at Cornell, a Title
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: IX complaint was filed a few times, and.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: They did nothing.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: What he did, he withdrew from Cornell. So before they
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: had to drop the hammer on him, they probably said,
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: you can do us.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: All a favor.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: You know, we don't really want to go into this
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: because it's going to cause you harm.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: It's going to cause us harm. We're going to just
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: move on. And he did. There was a suit.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Filed in 2023 by two female undergrads that he had
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: sexually violated them.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: And guess what?
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: It was a local journalist, one of these bloggers now
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: who found this, whereas the mainstream media, you know, they're
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: all chasing the fact that the Cornell faculty has declared
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: no confidence in the school's chancellor and that Tish James
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: has appointed a special prosecutor, Jacqueline Kelly, outside counsel, who
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: prosecuted P.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Diddy.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: I'm like, really?
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's so much that stinks about this story. There
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: is also the story out right now. You remember the three?
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Everybody got to stay at school except for three. They
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: were suspended. They were the worst of the group, and
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: they were the ones that did the most egregious things.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: They were in the process of negotiating to bring them
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: back to school when this broke. So there was absolutely
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: a look-the-other-way policy at Cornell. And I don't think it's
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: exclusive to Cornell. I think this is in college campuses
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: across the country.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Beyond just sexual harassment and assault, did you see what
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: happened at Ohio State University? Two of the frat boys
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: set themselves on fire as part of a prank and
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: hazing situation. On fire, Larry. The video has gone viral.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Now you say to yourself, Okay, what are you going
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: to do, Ohio State? Was it on-campus frat, off-campus? You know,
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: there are 50,000 students at Ohio State.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: It's like a small city.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: I realize you just lost two major football games in
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: a row unexpectedly, but let's focus on the problem that
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: you probably have, setting yourself on fire willingly.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: No, and unfortunately, this is an unusual situation. There are
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: people that have died at frats in the hazing. There
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: are people that are injured for life, both mentally and physically,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: because of hazing and frats across the country. I've done
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: a dozen stories on hazing that got out of hand.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: In high school, too.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: In high school, when the football teams, some of the
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: hazing that's got out of control, there should be no hazing.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: It should be illegal. I want to bring you back
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: to the time that I was a freshman on the
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: football team and then the JV team. The snapping of
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: towels as you came out of the shower. You had
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: to run through the phalanx. Did that ever happen to you, Larry?
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Well, that's nothing. I mean, no, that never happened to me.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, if they hit you three-piece set?
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Being set on fire, which alternative would you take?
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Let me think about that for a second. Let me
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: think about that.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: No, it is horrible. The hazing is horrible. It's got
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: to end, and it's got to be illegal. It should
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: be a criminal activity. When we come back, wait till
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: you hear this. A cruise ship worker falls off a ship.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Nobody really noticed he was missing. He was in the
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: water for nine hours. It's got a happy ending, though,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: plus a chance to see Tommy James and the Shondells
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: coming up next. And also, WOR has your hook up
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: to hear new music from U2 a day before anybody else.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: It's the iHeartRadio and TikTok live premiere with U2. They'll
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: preview never-before-heard music from their new album, Carnival Del Luce.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: the night before it releases, and sit down for an
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: in-depth interview, including your questions, fan questions. So you can
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: hear it tomorrow at 9 p.m. on the Classic Rock
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: channel in the free iHeartRadio app. And you can also
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: watch it on TikTok Live. Well, this is just an
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: amazing story. Three fishermen. are credited with rescuing a man
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: they spotted in the water about 20 miles off the
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Southern California coast. Apparently, the man had been working as
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: a piano player on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship heading
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: to Mexico when he went overboard, and nobody saw him
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: go overboard. And if you think about it, so he's
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the piano player in probably the nightclub, right? And so
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: nobody is going to expect him to be around until nighttime.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: So if he falls off during the day, nobody might
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: miss him. Nobody might realize that he's gone. So he
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: was in the water for nine hours, nine hours, treading water,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: trying to keep himself alive. When three fishermen saw him.
• 12:37
  Speaker 8: I saw his head out of the water.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: He was, uh, flailing his hands just a little bit
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: and his feet just a little bit just to keep
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: his head above water so he could breathe.
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: I immediately said that was a human being.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, who would think that? You're out fishing,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: you're out for a fishing trip, and you see a
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: guy like that. And if they didn't show up, if
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: they didn't show up, I mean, this guy was close
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: to death.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: He could not stop shaking, and he could not talk.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: And it was clear to us that he was near death.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Don't.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Giving new meaning to the song by Billy Joel, Piano Man.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: He has like a cat. Nine lives.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: He was nine hours in the water.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Nine hours.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: One hour of exposure. And also the sharks. He should
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: have been shark bait. Give you a quick story in
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: advance of Veterans Day tomorrow. My dad, he had a
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: merchant mariner test right before World War II, Kingsborough Community
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: College in Sheepshead Bay. You know what the test was
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: to be a merchant mariner? They row you out into
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Jamaica Bay, and then you got to swim to shore.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Most of the guys couldn't. My dad could. He grew
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: up in Lake Michigan. He could swim like a fish.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: The other guys were told, you're not going to cut it.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Here's a rifle. You just joined the United States Army.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: But exposure... Shark bait, all those things. How many men
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: perished in both World War I and World War II
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: on those troop carriers and those supply ships?
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and if there's a storm, if there's rough seas,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, no, he's extremely lucky. Let's get some talkbacks. Hey, listen,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: if you know that much about the club scene, then
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: you really need to get another life.
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: You talking about i agree with you i agree with
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: you completely.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: What are you what are you talking about we we
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: had the mayor of nightlife eric adams swagger man with
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: no plan who would party through the break of dawn.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Well i think you'd agree he needed to get another.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Life uh he has in albania guys.
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: The charges that hegsev is most vulnerable on are those
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: extrajudicial killings in the caribbean That is not part of
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: the American system. Just because you think they're bad guys
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: running drugs, you don't get to do summary executions on that.
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: You have to arrest them and bring them to trial.
• 14:51
  Speaker 8: We're not at war. But even in war, soldiers have
• 14:54
  Speaker 8: been court-martialed for killing civilians. So that's where he's hurting.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: That is a great point, and you're absolutely correct.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: I just cannot believe how many turntale Republicans are out
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: there complaining that there's no message that Trump's done. I mean,
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: these people are not team players. The minute the things
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: get rough, they're out of there.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Well, that happens all the time in life, doesn't it?
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: There's false friends that'll leave you when things are bad.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: There's people at work that when things go bad are
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: ready to quit on a moment's notice. They're everywhere, but
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: you're exactly right. These weaklings who don't understand history at all,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: how quickly things can turn around, are just cowards. I
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: agree with you. Now let's get to Daria Albinger with
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: the 830 News. Morning, guys.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Mostly sunny and breezy today.
• 15:47

• 15:50
  Speaker 9: see the first snowflakes of the season by week's end. Now,
• 15:53
  Speaker 9: with the word of the first wintry weather comes a
• 15:56
  Speaker 9: promise from Mayor Mamdani. The city will be ready once
• 15:58
  Speaker 9: we do head into the deep freeze, and he's setting
• 16:01
  Speaker 9: aside an extra $ 25 million to make sure.
• 16:04
  Speaker 10: Sanitation Commissioner Gregory Anderson says there's now eight more plow
• 16:07

• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Will he turn on his fellow comedian Dave Chappelle? Stay
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: tuned up next. Ah, you go to sleep at night
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: with Jimmy Fell. You hear 710WOR, number one talk station
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: in New York, 9 to 12. And then you wake
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: up with Larry and me in the morning at 6. And, Jimmy,
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: I thought there was a cardinal rule thou shalt not
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: criticize your fellow comedians. But Dave Chappelle on stage, Madison
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Square Garden, packed crowd Saturday night in one of his–
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Riff said, you know, I don't know why I was
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: feeling so good on the day that Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: I know I'm not supposed to be right, but I
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: was feeling so good.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: What say you, Jimmy Fallon?
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: Well, as someone who knows Chappelle... If he's feeling good,
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: it's because of the weed. I don't want to confuse
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: the guy. OK, but he's not smoking a strand called Charlie.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: He's smoking purple haze quite aggressively, I might add. Listen,
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: on that story, I got to tell you really quickly.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: I always disagree with people on the right. who get mad.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: Because the truth is, and I've said this a million
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: times when the left was trying to cancel comedians, comedy
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: is just comedy. You're supposed to treat it like a buffet.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: If you see an item you like, you throw it
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: on the tray. If you don't like the item, you
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: just keep on walking. Everybody gets their own tray. And
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: the reason I feel that way is obviously I don't
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: agree with a word Chappelle said. But the minute you
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: start trying to cancel comedians, you become the thing we
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: just campaigned against. You know, I wrote a New York
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: Times bestseller about this thing about the left canceling people
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: called Cancel Culture Dictionary. And if you like reading at
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: a third grade level, Curtis, you're going to love this book.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: I'm still struggling with comic books.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but everybody can make their own choice on Chappelle.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: You agree with that, right? Like, if I don't want
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: to listen.
• 20:43
  Speaker 13: To him anymore?
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think his comments are gross.
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: I think there is a problem with political violence on
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: the left that they're never made to own. So I really,
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: I don't mind that Republicans are getting mad and going
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: after them for that. But the fool's errand really is
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: like the comedy that's canceling the comedian never surges in
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: like popularity, specifically not with like younger voters.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: So it's kind of like, you know, you're rolling the dice.
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: But as a consumer, yeah, you have every right not
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: to listen to this garbage because it is it's garbage.
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: And he knows what he's doing, you know, and he's
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: kind of cheaply surfing off of that left wing, you know,
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: political fetish with violence.
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: You know, the.
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: Luigi Mangione thing where the women are writing letters to Luigi.
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: And apparently he writes back, according to my wife.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: I had no idea. Oh, now I get it. Now
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I get it. It went right over my head, that one.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Well, let's take it up a notch with Comedians in Trouble.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: A guy that not only got canceled, he's going to
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: go to prison, Russell Brand. Do you know him? Have
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: you run into him?
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: I have never met Russell Brand.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: You know, I was a cab driver when they were
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: having all those white parties at P.
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: Diddy's house. I dropped off more people than I partied with.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: You know, unfortunately, they weren't the best tippers.
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: They would give you just the tip.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Good night, everybody.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Are there comics you worked with where you'd say to
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: other people, to other women comics or other women, you
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: want to stay away from him?
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: I mean, I personally didn't have the experience, but I
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: knew of, like, everyone knew the Louis C.K.
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: Story back in the day, okay? That was kind of
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: a known thing.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: There wasn't so much a thing for Russell Brand because
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: he wasn't doing, like, clubs in the city.
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: Meaning, like, he didn't come up with any of us.
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: He just, like, showed up in America.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: As kind of a famous comedy actor who was now
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: in movies and, you know, making the rounds online. But
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: I absolutely, you can always tell around comics, like two
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: things for real, Larry, like, every, there's a lot of
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: comics you meet in the beginning, right? That you don't
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: get too close to, cause you know, without a doubt,
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: they're going to be in rehab in three years and
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: they're not going to be hanging out anyway. So that's,
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: and then that other cultural thing, like you said, with
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: Russell brand, I didn't see a lot of that, but again,
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: it doesn't mean it ain't out there because there's a
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: lot of dirt bags and showbiz.
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: You know?
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: Uh, now since you have the top rated entertainment show
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: on the Fox News Channel Saturday night, because it's not political.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: It's really entertainment. You really, you spread it, sort of
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: like fluff another. You know, you give everyone their props.
• 23:32
  Speaker 13: Are you going to be inviting the new star of
• 23:35
  Speaker 13: the Fox News Channel, Free Diddy, Free Diddy now, the
• 23:39
  Speaker 13: new face of MAGA, Anthony Constantino?
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: Listen, I talked about him for the last five minutes
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: of my monologue Saturday night. Because Constantino reminds me of
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: Donald Trump if he switched from Diet Coke to Hunter
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: Biden's Coke. He just has, like, it's real aggressive.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, God, that's a great line.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Let us enjoy that one for a second.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let us marinate that.
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: Please, please.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: That was such a great line.
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: What a time. What a time to be alive. So,
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: you know, very interesting.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: I don't know that he has a speechwriter, Anthony Constantino.
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: But if he does, I assume it's Andrew Dice Clay.
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: I don't know. But it's very pugnacious. And I enjoyed it. Like,
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: I found it funny, you know.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the weird thing is it's going to make
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: him a celebrity. Just the fact that he seems like
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: a walking train wreck is going to get him probably
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: more attention than most people getting into office.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, 100%. Because we live in this world now. We're
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: not going back. Okay, social media really is the defining
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: force in politics now.
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: It just is, unfortunately.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: And everybody now is a political influencer with a side
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: hustle in Congress.
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: That is reality. That's what AOC is doing, the run.
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: And it's unfortunate.
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: But that's we're like a year removed from like politicians
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: doing like upside down handstands and giving us their plank
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: routines in order to get nominated, meaning there's no mention
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: of policy or anything. At least Constantino talks policy in
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: the way that he does. So I give him that
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: for at least being substantive. I don't know that I'd
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: have any of those substances before I drove.
• 25:32
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: By the way, mentored by the star of a new
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: reality show, George Santos, who paved the way for the
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: Anthony Constantinos of the world.
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: Listen i i love george santos i mean he's the
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: original swing voter you know when you think about it
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: because he was doing a little bit of everything he
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: told me that on my show the boys the girls.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: How much can you talk about your feelings since he
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: used to work with him about what pete hegseth is
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: going through right.
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: Now you know it's funny man like i'll give you
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: everything i got on that one um The thing I
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: like about what Pete has done at the Pentagon is
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: they're breaking recruiting records. So he is doing a great
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: job of catering to the people who want to break
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: stuff and kill people, as Rush Limbaugh used to describe
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: the military. But there's obviously this other bloodlust for him
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: that started long before he got into office, even during
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: the confirmation hearings. So it's like I'm torn on this
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: because I actually like that he's growing the recruiting numbers
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: in a way that the previous administration wasn't. Again, we
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: were bringing in drag queens. We were getting pronouns for generals.
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: We don't need that.
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: You know what I mean?
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: We do need the guys that are gonna save Private Ryan,
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: not the guys that are gonna transition Private Ryan.
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: So we do, I like that.
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: But on the other side of this thing, I honestly
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: don't know, you know, who the blame for Iran is,
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: because the president standing by it is like, if I
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: had to do over, I'd do it again.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: And J.D.
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: Vance is trying to distance himself.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: But the point is, if you're asking me, would I
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: be surprised to be back on a Fox and Friends
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: couch with Hegseth next week?
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: No, I would not.
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: It'll be nice to see him again.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Well, Jimmy Fallon, you can listen to him tonight on
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Fox Across America with Jimmy Fallon. He's also host of
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Fox News Saturday Night with Jimmy Fallon on the Fox
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: News channel. Thanks a lot, Jimmy.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Love you guys.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: From back to Tuesday night going into Wednesday morning, the
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: end of the election midterm cycle. Larry, you had been
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: doing marathon work morning, noon and night. And I was
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: jumping in and we both agreed. that later that night,
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Fox News Channel had the interview with President Donald Trump,
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: and he said he was absolutely willing to accept the results.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: You felt good, I felt good.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: We all collectively took a sigh of relief because it
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: was a blue sweep. And then less than a week later,
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: last night, on Truth Social, almost like a comedian trying
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: out new lines, you know, open mic Monday night at
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: the local comedy show, He wrote out, does anybody really
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: believe this election was honest?
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: How could the polls be so wrong?
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: Some early vote dumps were so large that it was
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: And then he came right on up to the national line.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: It's all about the machines, which are more important than
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: the voters. He did not say Smartmatic or Dominion. Like
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: some of his surrogates did the last time in 2020.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: And you saw what happened to Rudy and everybody else
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: who did. And the companies who broadcast those statements, they
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: were all sued. The president did not do that. But Larry, Larry,
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: things were going so well. The president was like, now
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: he's trying these lines out. What, the next thing will
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: be some kind of rally or whatever. Please, please, Larry,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: say it ain't so, Larry.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: I know the New York Times thinks this is a
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: big story. You think it's a big story, CNN and MSNOW.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: It's not going to be a story tomorrow, but I
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: will say this. We have to do something about the
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: voter rolls, and he tried to. We had 6,000 illegals
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey. We had 5,000 they found in Pennsylvania.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: We had 20,000 that they found in California, and then
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: they weren't allowed to investigate any further. So there is
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: a serious problem here. in that people who are here
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: illegally and aren't U.S. citizens are allowed to vote. That's
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: just never supposed to happen. And so are there problems
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: with our elections? Yeah, there's serious problems with our elections
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: right now, especially in Democratic states.
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: And they fought back tooth and nail, even though 80%
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: of the public wants voter ID, even though they want
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: better registration.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: The Democrats were out there constantly saying no. Why is that, Curtis?
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Why would they say no to that when everybody wants it?
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Let me once again give a salute to outgoing Congressman
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Mike Lawler, who could have triggered this whole thing because
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: machines were not working properly. In parts of Westchester County,
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: and he chose not to. He conceded that night. He said,
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: I don't want to open up this can of worms
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: or the conspiracies, the steel, and he conceded. So those
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: battles you mentioned are for a different day.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: But they're still counting votes in Westchester, by the way.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Which is pretty interesting. And California. Yeah, it's true.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: And Alaska.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: And Mississippi.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: And Alaska, yes.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: But anyway, I salute Mike Lawler.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: We discussed the struggling club scene in the city this morning.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: The Talkback of the Morning and winner of the Curtis
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Lee Wynn Larry Menting in the Morning t-shirt, and now
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: in the running for Talkback of the Week, who will
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: win a Seacrane Radio, had an interesting take on our conversation.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: And if you know that much about the club scene,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: then you really need to get another life.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Was he referring to Eric Adams, swagger man with no plan,
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: who would dance to the.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Break of dawn?
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know it wasn't either of us. Do you
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: go to the clubs?
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: No, years ago, years ago.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Did you miss our White House correspondent, John Decker, today?
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: He was the star at the White House yesterday. You
