  Speaker 1: Wow did you hear that weather forecast larry and natalie
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: you're and welcome back natalie uh you were away yesterday
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: we had to deal with the quiet storm man boy
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: was he quiet.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Oh he talked more than he ever talked before i
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: thought which isn't a lot but still he talked a lot.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah we got a few words out of him yeah
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: But it's great to have you back, Natalie.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Thank you.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: So bundle up.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: You just heard Ray staging 30 degrees on Sunday. Now,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: this will be a dramatic decrease. And you know what happens, Larry?
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Every time there's a dramatic decrease of about 40 degrees,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: people get sick. Because for a lot of people, it's
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: too much for the body to absorb all in one blow.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: So get ready. Bundle up. 30 degrees.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: See, this is why you live in the Northeast. You
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: get the weather changes, the seasonal changes, the leaves change.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: You can't get that if you go to Florida. You're right,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: but that's exactly the same reason some people don't want
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: to live here. Exactly the same reason. Believe me, I've
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: been all over the country. I know in San Diego,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: they don't want to be here. Exactly.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: It's the same every day. Florida is somewhat the same,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: except when the hurricane season hits, then you have to
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: hunker down from time to time. But this is the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: time that I love because it makes our area so
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: different than some other areas of the country. Except not
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: a dramatic 40 degree change on one day. Sunday, 30 degrees.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: But you're right. The change in temperature does cause a
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: lot of sicknesses. I mean, when wintertime comes, people get sick.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: When fall comes, when the beginning of summer, the flu
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: takes over. I mean, It is odd how the weather
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: has such an effect on our well-being.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Well, I want to be a double mensch to everybody
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: out there. I'll be more than happy to hold your
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: hands if you get a flu shot, whether you're Republican, Democrat, Independent,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: as long as you don't have sweaty hands. That's so
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: nice because I read you all wrong. I thought you
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: only held hands with some special people. Oh, you mean
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: like Zorhan Mondavi? But I must extend this. To many
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: listeners out there, I will come and hold your hand
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: while you get the flu shot.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Wait a second. Please, please, we need a whole lot
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: of people. I want him every single day showing up
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: somewhere to hold somebody's hand as they get a flu shot. So,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: and the talkbacks, go and leave a talkback, say you
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: want it, and Natalie will get all your information. And
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: then we are going to say, he has to do this.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: He's made a promise. He has to go. And, oh
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: my God, if you're out of state, if you're out
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: of state, please, please. Ask him to hold your hand
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: so that he has to travel to hold your hand.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Am I not a politician? Haven't I learned to do
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: a pivot and shift?
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Go ahead.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: But to really stick it to me, dress up in
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: full MAGA gear.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: You know, MAGA gear with Trump is the greatest of
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: all time, the G-O-A-T. Oh, just for that picture. Him
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: holding your hand in full MAGA gear. Please, I know
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: you can respond to this. Let's make this happen.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Particularly for men, there will be no insinuations about your sexuality.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: It'll simply be one man to another man getting you
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: through the process.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, between you and me, once you're holding hands, you
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: can do anything you want. So you can talk about
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: your sexuality once he's holding your hand.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Okay, now we're getting a little ridiculous.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: He just wants somebody to get their flu shot.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: No sweaty hands. No sweaty hands. Again, once he's holding
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: your hand, you can do anything you want. You can
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: grease it up and then.
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: Get it in there.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: No Vaseline, please. Now, big day today.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Natalie has worked very hard on a story that we brought.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Very hard.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I think maybe it is pretty funny when Natalie has
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: a confused look when you said she worked very hard.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: What she did on this one, because remember, we've elevated
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: a story that nobody in talk radio anywhere ever talks
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: about the theft of mail out of mailboxes. Which, as
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you can see, Natalie, from the flow of our listeners
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: who have responded, including our own program director, Tom Cuddy,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: who was a victim of this and others, we see
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: it's systemic throughout the tri-state area and beyond where people
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: are victims unknowingly. When these guys come up on motorbikes,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: they grease up their belt with stickum, stickum, which you
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: would use to catch rats and mice, and they put
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: it in the box, and then they go what they
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: call fishing, and they steal all the mail. Then they
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: go to some other place. They're looking for checks that
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: can be bleached, not by them but by others, gift cards,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: anything of value. Any other mail, they toss. They just
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: throw it away, and then they come back and do it,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: and so boldly and brazenly, There are photos of them.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: There's film of them. And I brought to everybody's attention
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: my personal vigilante battle against these two guys who are
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: covered from head to toe and are motorbikes working the
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Upper West Side. One particular mailbox on the corner is
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: 73rd and Broadway in front of Chase. You remember my posting,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Larry and Natalie? I described how I had actually bum-rushed
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: one of them, grabbed some of the mail they stole,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: including the woman that you reached out to who had
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: sent such.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: A beautiful card.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: To her son, wishing him the best of luck at
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the University of Chicago. And you know what the response
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: of the U.S. Postal Service, which is the federal agency
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: with federal cops, and if you get arrested stealing mail,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: you go before a federal judge. It's not a local crime.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: And the NYPD's response was, they took the mailbox away.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: There's no mailbox there.
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: That's it.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Problem over. No mailbox.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: That solves the problem.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: For a second in that one area, but not really.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: But they're hitting all the mailboxes.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: And the reason it's so important now is that even
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the president has said, yep, if you have to vote
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: by mail, vote by mail. And we know there are
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of people our age and older, we're baby boomers,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: who vote by mail for a number of reasons. They
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: can't get to the polling location. The ballot comes to
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: them because they've asked for it. Who can't get to
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the polling location? Seriously, who can't get? It's usually right
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: down the street from you. They put them everywhere. I mean,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I hate that excuse. I've heard that before, but I
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: hate that excuse. It's just silly. I'm not against mail-in ballots,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: but listen, I never do it. I go and vote
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: in person all the time.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: No, no, I understand, and most people do.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: But there are some people who don't want to wait
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: for the day something else may happen, prevents them from going.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: So, hey, here I requested my mail-in ballot. I got it.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: I'll fill it out. I'll check it. I'll check it.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I'll seal it up.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: And generally walk over to the mailbox, mail it, assuming
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: that it gets to where it's going. Now, they have
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: a way you could track it to see if it's
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: at the Board of Elections, but most people don't. And
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: when these mail bandits are stealing mail, they don't care
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: what the mail is. But if you happen to have
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: put your mail-in ballot in one of these blue mailboxes,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and it is part of the treasury that they take
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: out of there, it's going to be discarded. It's going
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: to be torn up and thrown away, and that vote
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: will never end. Larry, in some of these local elections,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: where it's like the difference is like 10 votes, 20 votes, 30, 40.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Votes, it could be the differentiation. Yeah, you know, I
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: would love to get rid of mail-in ballots unless you
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: have a really good reason for doing it. I think
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: that it's ripe with fraud. I think that it's the
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: easiest way to commit fraud, as we've seen now in Pennsylvania,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: as we've seen in other states. And now you have
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: in California where there's 20,000 ballots that the Trump administration says, hey,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: they didn't say these are bad. They said, hey, these
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: are suspicious. Take a look at these. And they fought them.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Why in hell would you fight anybody on that? Why
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: wouldn't you go, oh, thanks for calling that to our attention.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: We'll take a look at those ballots. Why would you
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: fight that unless, unless. You think, oh, maybe they are fraudulent.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: They're probably voting for us.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of Democratic voters who want ballot
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: authenticity because 80% of the country is in favor of
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: you having to legitimize yourself when you go vote with
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: government ID. 80% is more than Republicans. That includes a
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: lot of Democrats and Independents.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: It's Hispanics. It's Blacks. It's Democrats. It's Republicans. No, absolutely.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I don't think that Democratic politicians feel the same way.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: that the Democratic voters do, and they're obviously not listening
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: to them.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Let me give credit where credit is due. I'll rewind it. Natalie,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: our producer.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, we're back to me, okay.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Has worked very hard to get an expert on mail theft.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: It plagues everybody.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: To be able to come on with us, Natalie Migliore
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: is away today, so in her normal slot at 754,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: who will we have telling us what the problems are,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and how to deal with them.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's actually a retired postal police officer here in
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: New York and currently the executive director of the Postal
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: Police Officers Association. And he has actually testified twice before
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: Congress about mail theft.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: So this is his thing.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: People don't realize it's a huge problem. Local law enforcement
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to deal with it because they don't want
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: to put crimes on the books, especially, Larry, if it's
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: over 30%. One thousand dollars of value in most counties, townships, villages, municipalities.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: It's got to be a thousand dollars or more to
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: be a felony.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: But it's a federal crime. So you're not going in
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: front of a turn them loose, you know, black robed judge.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: You're going into federal court. They're serious and they have
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: armed police. who come get you. And yet you don't
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: see that anymore. When I was a kid, Larry, my
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: father would take me to the local post office on
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Rockaway Parkway in Canarsie and you would see FBI 10
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: most wanted. And he'd say, Curtis, if you ever steal mail,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: don't even try as a prank. Because you steal mail,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: it's serious. They got federal cops. You'll be up there,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the 10 most wanted. Now, he was embellishing and exaggerating,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: but to make a point, back then we all knew
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: you don't steal mail.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: I wish it was a federal crime to take Amazon
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: packages because I think that's a much, much bigger problem,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: but that ain't going to happen. Well, just about anybody
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: that was anybody was at the New York political, business,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: and civic leaders gathering at the Waldorf Astoria on Thursday.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: last night for the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: to benefit Catholic charities. And someone who pointed out that
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: all the most important people are there was comedian, great comedian,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: and MC Jim Gaffigan.
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: We have a pretty diverse dais. We have with us
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: the 1%, the. 01 %, and the. 001 %. Sadly,
• 11:17
  Speaker 8: Mayor Bloomberg couldn't make it.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Also there was the new Archbishop in New York, Hicks,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: and also the man that he replaced, Cardinal Dolan.
• 11:32
  Speaker 9: Thanks for inviting this now-retired, unemployed pensioner on Social Security
• 11:39
  Speaker 9: and a fixed income as your speaker this evening.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: I used to be in Who's Who, now I'm Who's He.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: And finally, the person that was honored, the police commissioner,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Jessica Tisch, who pointed out that because so many people
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: in the DSA now want her fired and are pressuring
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: the mayor to fire her, she said she's just lucky
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: to have a job.
• 12:03
  Speaker 10: Things have got a little hot for me this week,
• 12:05
  Speaker 10: just in case anyone hiring.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: She made jokes about that a couple of times.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of.
• 12:12
  Speaker 10: Talk these days that the mayor's friends don't like me.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: That is simply not true. President Trump and I get
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: along great.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: So, again, it's all for Catholic charities. It's wonderful that
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: everybody shows up for that and can make fun of
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: themselves in their own situations. Hold on. Was the mayor there? Yeah.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Did he speak? I didn't hear him. I mean, I
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: just go through all of the rundowns on it.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: He sat on the dais, which means you had to
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: wear tux and tails and I think white gloves.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I didn't see white gloves. I did notice he had
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: a tux on. He was sitting next to Hochul.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I understand, but that's like millionaires and billionaires. There's like
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: 100 people up there, mostly business people. Boy, that's not
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: going to be received well by the DSA, I can
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: tell you that. That photo op. He didn't go last
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: year when he was running for mayor. And by the way,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: they never invite me. And you know why they never
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: invite me? Because I would have immediately said, oh, Catholic Charities.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, all that.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Money that went to the border to bring in the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: illegal aliens went to Catholic Charities. Just ask the big
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Catholic Joe Biden about that. Oh, no, Curtis, you can't
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: say that.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why. So you're confused why they don't invite you? No,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: and I never liked Dolan. And I really think it's
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: unfair that he hangs around. He's not from here. He's
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: originally from St.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Louis. He was in charge of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: You know, he came to New York. He became the Cardinal.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: But Hicks is going to become the Cardinal. Can't become
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: a Cardinal until Dolan goes away. It's really not fair
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: to Hicks that really most people don't even know. Couldn't
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: even identify him in a photo lineup.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I really like Dolan. I think most people do. I
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: think that for what he does, he represents the Catholic
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Church very well. And when I see him go on
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: national shows, he's always excellent. He's funny.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's always great at closing Catholic schools and sending
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: out money.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: That happened around the country. That's not just here.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Spending it on illegal aliens and not to keep Catholic
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: schools open in the inner city, that is un disgraciado.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: All right. I like Arnold Rowland. I guess you know
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: why I don't get invited to the— Oh, no, you've
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: just got to prove why you don't get invited. Now
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: let's get some talkbacks.
• 14:27
  Speaker 11: Curtis, I do business with the Postal Service, and I
• 14:30
  Speaker 11: asked your question to a postal inspector. And the answer
• 14:35
  Speaker 11: I got was that in the New York metro area,
• 14:37
  Speaker 11: the U.S. Attorney's Office is so busy, they won't prosecute
• 14:41
  Speaker 11: these types of crimes. So at the end of the day,
• 14:45
  Speaker 11: they don't catch him because they can't prosecute them.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, they can prosecute them. They just don't want to.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Let's be honest. They just don't want to. And that's
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: what we're going to discuss with our special guest at
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: 754 is Natalie Migliore is away today.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: He is experienced.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: He's testified in front of Congress about this because this
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: is a problem all over the country.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Here's another one about the mail.
• 15:10
  Speaker 12: Elon Musk. is releasing a car that will fly and
• 15:14
  Speaker 12: do flips. Are you telling me the United States Postal
• 15:18
  Speaker 12: Service can't design a mail receptor that is tamper-proof?
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Why the hell would you want a car that could
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: do flips?
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: Okay, but I would like to have a mail receptor
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: that could.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Not have mail stolen from it.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: No, that's true. That seems easier than the car that
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: does flips.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: I don't know why you want to do flips in
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: your car.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: That's not a selling point.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: But he had a good point. Like, why can't they
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: just redesign? I mean, I know that's a lot of them,
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: but just redesign the mail boxes.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Well, they did. They did, Natalie. What they did, remember,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: you used to be able to open the box.
• 15:51
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Because nobody thought mail would be stolen. Now it's a
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: little slit. That you're lucky if you can get one
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: envelope through. But notice the banditos, they know how to
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: get it out.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: I know. The only reason I don't get this story,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: and I'm sure it's more of a local thing here.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: I haven't used a mailbox in more than a decade.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: I actually started thinking about it. I don't even know
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: where the closest mailbox to my house is.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: I doubt very many people use mailboxes anymore.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: If I have to put something in the mail, I
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: actually go to my post office.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: So do I.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: So do I.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: And most of the things you can do online now.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: This is the best remedy, particularly for senior citizens, because
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: you're probably home when the mail arrives.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Give it to the mail carrier.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: Tin.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Give it to the mail carrier. He or she, they
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: can bring it back to the post office. And sometimes
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: we just leave it in our mailbox. They pick it
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: up and then they put the other mail in and
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: they take it with them.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: You don't do that here. You don't take that too.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: What I'm saying, our little mailbox, it's not a mailbox.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: It's the thing that hangs on the side of the
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: wall that he puts the mail in. We put our
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: mail there and then they just pick it up. Give
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: them a nice tip for Christmas, huh? Nice gratuity. No,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: we try to. He's not allowed to. Oh, they take
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: them here. Yeah, no, no. We try to every single year.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: You can make them cookies or something like that. They'll
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: take that, but no money. Trash men will take the money.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: They'll take the money. They come around dressed like Santa
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: with bells, to tell you the truth, to remind you.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Now let's get to Daria Albinger with the 630 News.
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: Daria.
• 17:22
  Speaker 10: I have the best mailman. He is the best mailman.
• 17:25
  Speaker 10: I will give him props anytime. Vijay, never.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: This is at our place. Yeah, Tin.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Love Tin.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: He's mine.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: My dog's like BJ.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: I'm so embarrassed I don't know my mailman's name now.
• 17:37
  Speaker 10: Well, my mailman carries dog treats with him.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: So, you know, he scores points with me.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: A few showers this morning.
• 17:44
  Speaker 10: Stronger storms possible later today and tonight.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: And a high of 75 degrees.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Why did he do it?
• 17:51
  Speaker 10: Investigators want to know what prompted a 16-year-old to open
• 17:55
  Speaker 10: fire in an elementary school in Bend, Oregon, yesterday.
• 17:58
  Speaker 14: By the time the gunman was stopped, a teacher and
• 18:01
  Speaker 14: three children, ages 5, 8, and 11, were dead. Two
• 18:05
  Speaker 14: other people were critically injured, including a 7-year-old and another teacher.
• 18:09
  Speaker 10: That's ABC's Sophie Flay, a Queens woman who confessed to
• 18:11
  Speaker 10: killing her 5-year-old daughter as a history of mental health issues.
• 18:14
  Speaker 10: A woman's father, Franklin Cabello, tells NBC4 that... His daughter
• 18:18
  Speaker 10: spent a month in a psychiatric unit earlier this year.
• 18:21
  Speaker 10: He says when she was released, she stopped taking her medications.
• 18:24
  Speaker 10: No charges have been filed in the case so far.
• 18:26
  Speaker 10: There are calls for an investigation into a confrontation between
• 18:30
  Speaker 10: the MTAs. fare enforcement team and a passenger in Brooklyn.
• 18:34
  Speaker 10: That commuter turned out to be the dean of Mott
• 18:36
  Speaker 10: Bridges Academy. Kyle Taylor says he was riding the B-14
• 18:40
  Speaker 10: to work when he crossed paths with the MTA's Eagle
• 18:43
  Speaker 10: Team fare enforcement unit at his bus stop. They demanded
• 18:46
  Speaker 10: proof that he'd paid his fare. Video released subsequently shows
• 18:49
  Speaker 10: Eagle Team members grabbing and pinning Taylor against the bus stop.
• 18:53
  Speaker 10: MTA Chair Jano Lieber said at a Thursday news conference
• 18:56
  Speaker 10: he'd found the video concerning. He also indicated that several
• 18:59
  Speaker 10: of the Eagle Team inspectors had been suspended pending an investigation.
• 19:03
  Speaker 10: Transit Advocacy Group Passengers United is now urging New York
• 19:06
  Speaker 10: Attorney General Letitia James to launch a probe.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Into the incident.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Liz Borner, WOR News.
• 19:11
  Speaker 10: Well, they may not agree on everything, but Mayor Mamdani
• 19:14
  Speaker 10: says he wants Governor Hochul to remain in office, and
• 19:16
  Speaker 10: he's released a TV ad saying that he's going to
• 19:18
  Speaker 10: vote for her, calling the Democrat the real deal for
• 19:20
  Speaker 10: New Yorkers and referring to Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman as
• 19:24
  Speaker 10: a bad apple. As far as KFC is concerned, Coke
• 19:27
  Speaker 10: is it. The chain is ending a decades-long partnership with Pepsi.
• 19:31
  Speaker 10: It's switching to Coca-Cola at more than 3,700 restaurants nationwide
• 19:36
  Speaker 10: starting in January.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Devils beat the Rangers.
• 19:38
  Speaker 10: Islanders fell to Ottawa. Next news, 7 o'clock, bulletins at once.
• 19:42
  Speaker 10: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Have you noticed in the midterms? Thanks, Daria. Have you
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: noticed in the midterms now all anybody is talking? about
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: are the polls? How much do you believe them and
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: how good have they done over the last, let's just say,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: couple of midterm elections? We'll talk about that and go
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: over the most current polls when we come back. But first,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: I want to talk about LifeVac once again. Every time
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: I look in the news, and you can Google this yourself,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: someone's life is being saved by life vacs somewhere in
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: the country. And in many police departments across the country,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: they are required to have life vac in their patrol cars.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Why they don't do it more around here, I have
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: no idea. Because they absolutely save lives. Over 6,500 worldwide
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: 4,000 of them are children. Think about that for a second.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: That's not just a number. Those are real people, real
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: families who get second chances because of LifeVac. In case
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: you don't know, LifeVac is the first and only FDA-authorized
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: suction anti-choking device to be used for a second-line treatment
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: when recommended choking protocols have been followed without success. That
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: is extremely important. So the government has approved this and says,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: if the Heimlich doesn't work, use LifeVac. Having the right
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: tool nearby can make all the difference in the world.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Learn more about LifeVac today at LifeVac.net. That's LifeVac.net. Visit
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: LifeVac.net and see how you can be ready when it counts. Well,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: it certainly does seem like things are tightening up. And
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: this normally happens with elections. Either it widens or it tightens.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Many times it would widen, especially if something big happened,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: some huge mistake happened in a presidential election, you'd see
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: a widening in the polls. And many times it's just
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: that voters that were undecided are coming home to roost.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: In midterm elections, this happens a lot. Now, you know
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: that there are a handful of states right now, six
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: or seven, depending on who you believe, six or seven
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: that are going to decide the fate of the Senate.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: And the Democrats have to win at least three, four
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: to be safe. So they have a big task in
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: front of them. And with the polls starting to tighten,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: that gets a little icky for them. It's no longer
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: a sure thing they're going to take the Senate. My
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: belief is they're going to take the House. And one
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: of the reasons is going to be Tom Kane Jr.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: over in New Jersey. It looks like at this point
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: he's going to lose. and they only need a couple there.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: They need as many in the House as they do
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: in the Senate, but it's easier to pick up seats
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: in the House because there's so many seats. But I
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: will tell you this, Curtis, as I look at these polls,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: and I know that before you leave your talk back,
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: and you can leave a talk back about anything you want,
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: so I'm not saying don't leave it about this, but
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: I know many of you have complaints with the polls.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: I do too. Polls are not perfect. Polls, first of all,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: were a snapshot in time. And every once in a while,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: they get it really wrong because of the way that
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: they did their algorithm. So you're absolutely right. That's why
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: you need to look at a lot of polls, a
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: conflagration of polls. But here's one thing to remember. As
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: it all tightens, as it tightens in Iowa now, the
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Republican is down two points. As it tightens in Maine,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Susan Collins is now ahead by one point. As it
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: tightens in Texas, Telerico, depending on what polls you look at,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: is up one to three points. If it stays in
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: that margin, Republicans always, always are undercounted in national polls, especially.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: So keep that in mind. And I want you to
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: hear Harry Enten, who is a guy that I really
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: respect because he plays it down the middle on CNN.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: talking about exactly what that would mean. If the polls
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: stay tight, if it's very tight going into the election
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: in many of these states, what it would mean if
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: they once again were undercounting Republicans by two to four percent.
• 24:12
  Speaker 15: In Iowa, where the Democrats have been getting really good polls,
• 24:14
  Speaker 15: Republicans outperformed their September polls by nine points back in 2024.
• 24:17
  Speaker 15: How about Ohio?
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: Six points.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: How about Michigan? Five points.
• 24:22
  Speaker 15: And I will note that the leads that the Democrats
• 24:24
  Speaker 15: have in all of these races right now are under
• 24:27
  Speaker 15: how much the GOP outperformed back in 2024. So you
• 24:31
  Speaker 15: look at this and you go, you know what? Maybe
• 24:33
  Speaker 15: we should just hold on a second here because we've
• 24:36
  Speaker 15: seen this dance before and it was not a dance
• 24:39
  Speaker 15: that Democrats like when the votes were actually cast and counted.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Okay. Now, some of those were extreme, like Iowa undercounting
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: by nine points. That doesn't usually happen. But if you
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: look at any survey, any survey, go anywhere, go to
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: New York Times, go to Real Clear Politics, go anywhere
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: and take a look. It's usually two to four points
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: that they undercount Republicans because Republicans are just harder to
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: get a hold of for polls. Two to four points
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: they undercount. Now look at the polls in state to
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: state to state. Those two to four points would give
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: those races to Republicans. So if history holds up, if
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: past is prologue, Curtis, this isn't going to be a
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: big win for the Democrats in those elections. I understand.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: I have a lot of ifs in there, but there
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: is a ray of hope, actually a great deal of
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: hope for Republicans when it comes to the Senate.
• 25:34
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, there's no doubt. There's always an undercount. A lot
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: of Republicans just don't. won't respond to a poll. You know,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: they're stubborn. They won't respond.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: But I am surprised.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: That you, I call you the Polly Market Kid because
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: you've done like a lot of people do.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: They look at Polly Market.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: So if we look at the race, Hochul versus Blakeman,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Polly Market has it 95% Hochul, 5% Blakeman.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: You say, that she's going to win. You say, what?
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Where are you getting your figures from?
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: So there are so many different ways, but now it's
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: all about getting out to vote, and most importantly, the independents,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: who generally break in the last 10 days.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: I'm shocked that more people are looking at Polly Market
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: and looking at Kaoshi. And you know Harry Enten uses
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: it all the time, and I have a huge amount
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: of respect for him. it's because it's just people betting. Now,
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: it's you and me. We could get on there and
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: affect it tomorrow.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Could it be that Harry Enten is using Polymarket because
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: they advertise on CNN? That could.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Absolutely be. Sponsor promotion. I've never seen one of the ads,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: but that could absolutely be. But there's so many. There's
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: so many. And there are polls. I don't look at Polymarket,
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: by the way. Right.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: But there are polls. You never, you say, what is
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: this poll? A brand new name, you say, what the
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: hell is this? And so you just get flooded with
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: these polls. Look, you got to get your vote out.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: The benefit, just quickly, for Blakeman, as opposed to Zeldin
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: the last time, is he has an independent line now,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: which is important for a Republican. Zeldin messed up. They
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: had fake signatures. And so their independent line was thrown out.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: You need that as a Republican. That'll get you an
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: additional two or three percent because a lot of people,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: as you know, Larry, I'll vote for you, but never
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: as a Republican.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: They can find you on another line.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: I talked about that poll the other day with you,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: and I don't have it in front of me now,
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: that showed it was very close now between Blakeman and Hochul,
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: and you discounted the poll right away. I looked at it,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: and now I'll have to find it again to go
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: through it. But RealClearPolitics said it's a legit poll. And
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: so they usually show the bias in those polls. And
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: I see they work across the country. So I don't know.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Doesn't it feel like it's getting closer?
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: It feels a lot like it's getting closer.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, there's no doubt. He's doing better than Zeldin did
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: at this point. But up next, oh, I can't get
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: enough of this story. It's a novella. It's a soap
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: opera from Newsom to Donald Trump Jr. And now she's
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: out on her tuchus.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Kill foil, kill foil, kill foil. What will she do now?
• 28:20
  Speaker 8: Up next.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Paychecks.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, Larry Nettley, I can't get enough of this story.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Kimberly Guilfoyle, what a life she has led. And she's
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: been high profile for a long, long time. But she
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: just recently resigned as our U.S. ambassador to Greece. As
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: a Wall Street Journal report came out, it had a
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: lot of facts, a lot of details how It appears
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: she was using that position to develop a side hustle,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: develop money-making opportunities for her, her supporters, and others. That'll
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: eventually play out. She did resign. We don't know where
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: she'll end up, but I can tell you this from
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: having known her, just from my many appearances on Fox, when.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: She was a fixture, man. She was like on every show,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: the five. She was on short. She was everywhere.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: She was the legal expert because she had originally been
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: in ADA in San Francisco County. That's where she met
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: now Governor Newsom. That's when they got married. They were
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: considered the couple of San Francisco. And then he decided
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: to have an affair with his chief of staff's wife.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: The marriage broke up.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: She left. She appeared on court TV. And then she
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: was hired by Fox. And she was great. She was
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: a great contributor. And then all of a sudden she
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: had to leave Fox. in 2018 and she became part
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: of the trump campaign in 2020 and had a relationship
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: it was assumed that she would end up marrying donald
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: trump jr that they were engaged because whenever you would
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: see the trump family out there she'd be attached to
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump Jr. As you remember, in the recent RNC
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: convention in Milwaukee, he was caught Donald Trump Jr. playing
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: footsie with this blonde. The whole world saw it, and
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: that was it. Their relationship fell apart. She didn't say anything.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: President very wisely said, Kimberly, I'd like you to become
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: our U.S. ambassador to Greece. She accepted. I think part
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: of that was just to get her away from Florida,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: where that would be lingering. And we didn't hear much
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: about her. And then all of a sudden, she's on
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: the outside looking in.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: But let's talk about what she did. I mean, you
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: went through all of that and didn't talk about exactly
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: what she did that got her ousted. She was leaning
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: on a guy who, by the way, is a little
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: bit sleazy in his own right, Eric Detters, who has
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: been suspended from practicing law in state after state after
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: state for $ 100, 000. in exchange for access to some very
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: powerful people. And he turned it down. And what he
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: did is he turned around because he has political influence
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: and he let the Trump world know, this is what
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: she's asking me for. That's what led to her leaving.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: But they have a long relationship, debtors and Guilfoyle. Debtor
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: says that he paid Guilfoyle $ 300, 000 over several years to
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: speak at Freedom Fest events in exchange for political access.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: So he has now been very public with this lawsuit
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: against her. He's filing a lawsuit for $ 100, 000 against her.
• 31:36
  Speaker 17: I will drop this lawsuit if the following happen. One,
• 31:42
  Speaker 17: President Trump orders... and arranges the extradition of Dr. Abubakar
• 31:48
  Speaker 17: Atik Durrani from Pakistan. President Trump brags about deportations and
• 31:54
  Speaker 17: other foreign extractions all the time.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: And he says, this is an extortion because I don't
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: want the money. I will not keep the money. I
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: will give it to people that Dr. Durrani, who is
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: now in exile in Greece, I want to give it
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: to the people that he did spinal surgery on and
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: left them impaired. Apparently, he had all of these clients
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: where he told them they needed this special kind of
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: spinal surgery. And they ended up impaired from it. And
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: they sued him. And what did he do? He left
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: the country. He left the country and they've been trying
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: to extradite him ever since. And they have not been
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: able to do it. So this guy, Detters, as slimy
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: as he might be, he has some nice motives here.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: He wants to get money to give to those clients.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Look, if you're Kimberly Guilfoyle and you heard what the
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: president said to her after being questioned, Trump said, she
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: wasn't a member of my family. She, I guess, dated
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: my son a long time ago. Man, she knows where
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: all the bones are buried with the Trump family, Newsom family,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: others at Fox News Channel. And there are a lot
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: of people who are going to want to hear from
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: her if she decides to open up the Pandora's box.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: But I know out of everything being.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Said, she's one of the bones that are buried. She
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: is one of them. Yeah.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: But just think if the Democrats win the House, who's
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: going to be the star witness possibly for an impeachment?
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: Kimberly Guilfoyle. Well, Cornell.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Is the story that just keeps giving. Follow the texts.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Follow the text. And even though the attorney who filed
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: this civil suit on behalf of the woman described as
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Jane Doe is now saying, no mas, no mas, there
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: needs to be a gag order on everyone involved, all
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: the attorneys, all the participants, anybody involved in this whatsoever.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: It hasn't stopped the flow of texts between Jane Doe
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: and especially the two guys that she admitted she loved
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: in some of the texts, and they admitted they loved her,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: which was Matthew and Newell. Those were the two that
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: she had the threesome with, agreeable to all at the
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: frat house off of Cornell, and more of these texts
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: have flowed. Obviously, we have to assume it's from some
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: of the defense attorneys, either for the Matthew guy, who
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: seems to be the ringleader, and the Newell guy, who
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: was his buddy.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Those were the.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Two that she consented to have sex with, and it
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: is endless. Let me give you an update on this.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: To the text messages. Jane Doe texts Matthew after the
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: night in question. Matthew, people always want to talk about
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: that I had transgender allegations last year. meaning that people
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: on campus were looking at her. And Megyn Kelly has
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: actually shown her pictures. And she has some manly features.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: It would be difficult not to assume that some of these,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: you know how these young people are, they can be
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: very vicious. But apparently the rumor that went around the
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: previous year on Cornell is that she had had transgender surgery.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: So she's talking about that in lieu of all the
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: rumors that emerged after her night in the frat house,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: having sex with the two and then others coming into
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: the room. First, it was the transgender rumors last year.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Now the rumors about the night in question is ruining
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: my life. This is from Jane Doe. Jane Doe then insists,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: she says twice, I am always being rumored about. So
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: this is like really bothering her big time. But Matthew,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: who seems to be the person that she has the
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: best relationship.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: With, says, oh, they are just jealous of us.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Everyone needs to grow up because sexuality and sex is
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: changing and stuff like this is going to become more common.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Jane Doe then responds, silence is the most powerful response always.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: but I always want to say something about this. Now
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: that's with Matthew.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. And the text messages go on and
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: on and on. And we've, we've heard these every single day. They,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: there has to get a, they have to appoint a
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: judge in this case. He's got to do a gag order.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: This is so unfair. The fact that we're reading these
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: now on the air is so unfair to so many
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: people in this case, this is being tried in the media.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Do you know that on the defense team, One of
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: the junior attorneys, his job is to work with the media.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: His job is to get this stuff out there. So this,
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: what we're doing right now and what everybody is doing
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: in the country that does this in the newspapers and
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: does it on television, they're trying this case. This case
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: is being tried right now. You can't stop it, Larry.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: You can stop it. Yes, you can. You can stop it.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: You can have a gag order. As a matter of fact,
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: Phaedra F. Perry Bond of the New York Supreme Court
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: has just sealed several of the documents and she says
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: a judge has to be appointed and we have to
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: put a gag order. She also threatened all attorneys. There
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: will be repercussions. So yeah, it can be handled. The
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: fact that it took so long and I want to
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: know why it takes so long. I want to know
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: why The college took so long. I want to know
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: why the court system took so long. I want to
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: know why Hochul took so long. Nobody cared about this woman.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: I will give her credit for one thing. This is
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: the way she got people to care about it. This
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: is the way by coming out with this and saying
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: all this, but the fact that is going on, do
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: you think these men, these young men can get a
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: fair trial right now?
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Well, these texts will balance the ledger here. Let me
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: just tell you what she texted Newell, which may be
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: an indication. she writes to Newell. Remember, that's one of
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: the two that she agreed to have sex with. She says,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: you know, this is after the fact. We should get
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: together again. But, like, leave out the extra five billion
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: men and the ketamine.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: Well, that was out very early. That five billion men one, yeah,
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: that was out very early.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: And then Newell says to her, definitely, I'm off the
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: hard drugs for good. But then there is a date
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: in which she does a pirouette And it's no more.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: I love you.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Hey, it got out of hand that night, but nothing
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: illegal was done. She wasn't invited to the Halloween party
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: at the frat.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: And she was upset.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: And then this is what she texts to both Matthew
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: and Noel. It gets gossipy, doesn't it? After a while.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, she wasn't invited to the Halloween and she
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: got upset. I mean, You know, I understand the attention
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: on this story, and I understand the interest in this story,
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: and some of that interest is the salaciousness of it. But,
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: you know, we seem to always forget there's lives that
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: are going to be determined, how the rest of their
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: lives are going to go. There's seven young men and
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: a woman. This is going to be determined by a court,
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: and everything is being slimed right now. All of them.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: All of them.
• 39:29
  Speaker 7: The universe.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: The woman, the men involved, all is being slimed because
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: of these attorneys, because of them leaking all this out.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: But the techs also balance the scale for at least
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: the two. who were considered the leaders of the pack,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: the Matthew guy and Newell, because she clearly had a
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: relationship with them. She clearly wasn't holding them culpable. But
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: then all of a sudden she writes to both of them.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Let's be clear that 90% of what happened that night
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: was not consensual. I was given more ketamine than I
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: can remember. And I know I told you that I
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: was uncomfortable and I didn't know anyone in the room.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: All I remember is you giving me ketamine. to orally
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: fixate you in front of everybody. How do you suddenly
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: go from peace, love, and happiness, all is forgiven and forgotten, yeah,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: it got out of control, to suddenly... saying 90% of
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: this was a crime? I don't know, but you know
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: where that'll be decided? In a courtroom.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: That will be decided in a courtroom. I mean, there's
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: a part of it that it starts to feel a
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: little bit icky, doesn't it? It just, it starts to
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: feel like this is going to go on every single day. Hopefully,
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: hopefully this Supreme Court judge in New York will put
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: an end to this. She hasn't yet. All she's done
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: is seal documents and asked for a judge to then
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: issue a gag order, but that should have happened very
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: early on. As soon as this stuff started coming out,
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: this isn't the way the system's supposed to work. We
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: love it. We love it. I mean, everybody in the
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: media loves it. The networks love it. Everybody, everybody is
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: looking at this like a show right now and nobody's
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: looking at it as eight, maybe more young people's lives.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Notice initially, none of the lawyers, her defense attorney, who
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: filed a civil suit, or the seven other lawyers and
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: their associates representing the Cornell 7, moved to request a
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: gag order. That just came about. And as you said,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: the court is not moving expeditiously as it should. So
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: I guarantee you both sides, before the order is levied,
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: because we know it's going to be levied, are going
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: to try to put as much stuff out there for
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: public consumption before then.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. That's what's happening right now. All the lawyers for
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: the young men, could you imagine... With the money that's
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: at Cornell University, because they're going to get attorneys too,
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: the money that's going to be made by all of
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: these attorneys on this case, some of the highest priced
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: attorneys in the country are going to be involved in
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: this case, both on the defense and the prosecution and
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: protecting the university and other people that may be involved.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: We might not even know everybody involved. but it's going
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: to be a difficult case for them. How are you
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: going to find a jury that hasn't heard about this?
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: Also, media flacks that will be hired for both sides,
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: and the experts at picking a jury. You know, there's
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: a whole class of men and women out there, many
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: of them former attorneys, who guide you on what they
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: believe should be done to try to pick a jury
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: that's going to be more favorable to your cause or
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: may cause call for a hung jury. Right. You know,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: where there's dissension amongst the jury.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: You're talking about the criminal case right now. This is
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: all in the civil case. Everything is in the civil case.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: That's why it's some uncharted territory. That's why about gag
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: orders and all that kind of stuff. That's exactly why
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: none of that stuff has happened. Everybody's trying to figure
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: it out. It is a wonderful sign right now that
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: the New York Supreme court got involved. and that they
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: issued something. At least they sealed all the documents. So
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: all of the networks that have been getting the documents,
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: that's going to stop now. But you're absolutely right that
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: everybody's going to try to get their last licks in
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: because a gag order is definitely coming. Now, you know
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: who we've left out of this? She had already been
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: appointed the.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: Special prosecutor by Governor Hochul, Attorney General Tish James.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: She could have immediately.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: gone into court with the power and the weight of
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: the state attorney general officers and demanded a gag audit.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: If life is fair, she's pulled. I mean, she shouldn't
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: touch this case. She shouldn't be near this case. She's
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: already said how she feels about it. She's already prejudiced. So, no,
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: she should be definitely out of this case. Now, it's
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: getting to the point, I don't know how you feel
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: about it, but it's getting to the point where it's
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: starting to sicken me that all of this stuff is
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: now being talked about like we're in one big coffee
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: room and it's all kind of titillating gossip. These are
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: people's lives that are on the line. Coming up, Ann-Margaret Carroza,
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: host of WOR's The Laws of Your Money. There was
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: a famous star, you're going to know, you're going to
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: know who she is, that died without a will. Who
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: will inherit her estate? Plus a chance to see Journey

• 44:57

• 45:01
  Speaker 2: choking protocols have been followed without success. And it works
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: so quickly and so effectively. I just watched video of
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: a police officer using LifeVac to save a six-year-old boy.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: And here's what's really remarkable. LifeVac has saved not just

  Speaker 2: host of The Laws of Your Money with Ann-Margaret Carrozza.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: That's Sundays at 10.30 in the morning. Ann-Margaret, thanks for
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: joining us. I I want to talk to you because
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: this is your specialty. You're one of the best in
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: the country when it comes to these things. I want
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: to talk to you about the death, the accidental overdose
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: of Hayden Panettiere, a young actress. Everybody knows her. I
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: remember as the little girl in Remember the Titans and
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: movies like Bring It On and Scream. But she's the
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: latest in a long line of celebrities to have died
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: without a will. Who will inherit her estate, and is
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: there going to be a fight over this?
• 46:26
  Speaker 13: Well, Larry, she is one of 50% of all Americans
• 46:31
  Speaker 13: who don't have a will. And when we don't have one,
• 46:36
  Speaker 13: it's our state of residence who determines.
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: Who gets our stuff.
• 46:42
  Speaker 13: So tragically, she was survived by an 11-year-old daughter who
• 46:47
  Speaker 13: So the laws of all 50 states, including California where
• 46:52
  Speaker 13: she lived, provide that the 11-year-old daughter will inherit the
• 46:57
  Speaker 13: entire estate. But the bigger issue that is unresolved is
• 47:02
  Speaker 13: who is going to manage the millions of dollars on
• 47:06
  Speaker 13: behalf of the 11-year-old girl. So without a will directing
• 47:11
  Speaker 13: who was going to take over, the court said that
• 47:15
  Speaker 13: Hayden Panettiere's ex-fiancee living in the Ukraine is going to
• 47:20
  Speaker 13: handle the millions of dollars. Is that what Hayden Panettiere
• 47:24
  Speaker 13: would have wanted? We're never going to know.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Hold on a second. And Margaret Carosa. A guy in
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: the Ukraine, the most corrupt country in the world, is
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: going to handle the money?
• 47:37
  Speaker 7: Exactly.
• 47:38
  Speaker 13: The California court just put him in charge of of
• 47:42
  Speaker 13: the estimated $ 10 million estate on behalf of the 11-year-old daughter.
• 47:48
  Speaker 13: And he is entitled to substantial annual commissions for doing so.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: Why? What is the rationale? How do they pick someone
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: that is going to run that estate?
• 48:00
  Speaker 13: Well, he, the ex-fiancé, petitioned the California court and alleged,
• 48:06
  Speaker 13: I don't know whether it's true or not, that the
• 48:08
  Speaker 13: estate needed someone very quickly to oversee things because people
• 48:15
  Speaker 13: were stealing objects from the home and he was needed.
• 48:20
  Speaker 13: So in the absence of other good candidates and in
• 48:23
  Speaker 13: the absence of a direction from the decedent, the court said, okay,
• 48:28
  Speaker 13: here you go, Vladimir. Here's the $ 10 million.
• 48:32
  Speaker 7: Good luck.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: Now people should go to someone like you to get
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: a will written, but can they write their own will?
• 48:38
  Speaker 13: Well, you know, if we're on a game show, the
• 48:41
  Speaker 13: answer is we can write our own will. But look
• 48:44
  Speaker 13: at what happened with Aretha Franklin. She died in 2018
• 48:49
  Speaker 13: and they found a handwritten will in her sofa cushions.
• 48:55
  Speaker 13: And that thing was in court for five years before
• 49:00
  Speaker 13: they determined its validity. So there were millions spent in
• 49:05
  Speaker 13: legal fees there. But it saved her maybe 500 bucks
• 49:09
  Speaker 13: to get a decent will from a lawyer. So a
• 49:12
  Speaker 13: little bit bonkers.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: On a little different note, and margaret carosa we're in
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: an age where oftentimes two people get married they go
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: their separate ways and then all of a sudden they
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: have a new marriage new family uh if they forgot
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: or filled out a will in the first marriage how
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: do they undo that if they decide to do that
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: for the second marriage.
• 49:37
  Speaker 18: Well, the laws of all 50 states say that provisions
• 49:42
  Speaker 18: for your spouse in a will are nullified as soon
• 49:47
  Speaker 18: as that divorce decree is signed.
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: By the judge.
• 49:51
  Speaker 13: So that is not the big concern. The big concern
• 49:55
  Speaker 13: is to update your documents when there is a change
• 49:58
  Speaker 13: in the condition of a beneficiary. So my husband is
• 50:02
  Speaker 13: my beneficiary, but if he develops dementia, or has a stroke,
• 50:07
  Speaker 13: now I don't want a nursing home getting the estate,
• 50:11
  Speaker 13: so I'm going to create a trust for them.
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: Ann-Margaret Carrozza, thank you so much. Host of Laws of
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: Your Money with Ann-Margaret Carrozza. That's Sundays at 1030. By

  Speaker 19: Oh, thanks, guys.
• 50:26
  Speaker 7: Never.

  Speaker 13: Have a great weekend.
• 50:28
  Speaker 20: Thanks.

  Speaker 2: Thanks. You too.

  Speaker 2: Now let's get to Daria Albinger with the 730 News, Daria.
• 50:34
  Speaker 7: Morning, guys.
• 50:34
  Speaker 10: A few showers this morning, stronger storms possible later today
• 50:38
  Speaker 10: and tonight. It's going to be 75 degrees today, but
• 50:41
  Speaker 10: it's going to get a lot colder this weekend, just
• 50:43
  Speaker 10: in the 50s tomorrow. Better late than never. That's how
• 50:46
  Speaker 10: the City Council feels about SpaceX. AI coming to talk
• 50:50
  Speaker 10: to members today about the possible pitfalls of artificial intelligence.
• 50:54
  Speaker 21: SpaceX AI is fielding questions from the council's committee on technology,
• 50:58
  Speaker 21: but every council member was invited to attend and ask questions.
• 51:01
  Speaker 21: It comes as several researchers have warned AI could pose
• 51:04
  Speaker 21: an existential threat to humanity, even leading to concerned citizens
• 51:08
  Speaker 21: calling for guardrails.
• 51:10
  Speaker 16: Yeah, it's going to go off the rails a lot
• 51:11
  Speaker 16: quicker than what we expect because we've advanced so much
• 51:15
  Speaker 16: in technology that It's going to go way faster than
• 51:19
  Speaker 16: we ever thought, like when the internet came on.
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: But AI is going to go a lot faster than that.
• 51:22
  Speaker 16: So I think we need guardrails.
• 51:24
  Speaker 21: Lawmakers already spent 10 hours throwing questions at Meta, Google, OpenAI,
• 51:29
  Speaker 21: and Anthropic.

• 51:41
  Speaker 10: Three students and a teacher were killed, another student and
• 51:44

• 51:47
  Speaker 10: killed by an armed bystander.
• 51:49
  Speaker 11: No deal!
• 51:50
  Speaker 10: That's what residents of Ocean Park, New Jersey, are being
• 51:52
  Speaker 10: told about their plan to join the neighboring township of
• 51:56
  Speaker 10: that name.
• 51:57
  Speaker 19: Town officials say the deal is the petition came up
• 51:59
  Speaker 19: 13 signatures short of the required amount to force a
• 52:02
  Speaker 19: vote on the matter. State law requires 60% of residents
• 52:05
  Speaker 19: to sign a de-annexation petition, and the Asbury Park Press
• 52:08
  Speaker 19: is reporting supporters thought 68% of Deal Park's residents signed,
• 52:11
  Speaker 19: but nope. Town officials checked voter rolls to find more
• 52:14
  Speaker 19: total voters in the neighborhood than was first counted. An
• 52:17
  Speaker 19: attorney for Deal Park residents said they will keep trying,
• 52:20
  Speaker 19: but the mayor of Deal has been saying they have
• 52:23
  Speaker 19: no plans on incorporating the neighboring neighborhood if Deal Park
• 52:26
  Speaker 19: did leave Ocean Township. Levon Putney, WOR News.

• 52:36
  Speaker 2: I'm Daria Albinger on 710 WOR. Up next, it's right
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: on time.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: This guy, our colleague Rob Astorino, took on the Democratic
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: machine at that time at the height of his power.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo ran a great race, lost, but he knows
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: exactly what the path to victory should be for Bruce
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: Blakeman versus Hochul, and we'll hear from him up next.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: 18 days to go to the midterm elections and the
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: other night we saw Bruce Blakeman versus Hochul in the
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: unfortunately one and one only debate. On the line, Rob Astorino,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: nobody in this business knows better how to fight the
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: Democratic machine. He had to do it against Andrew, evilize
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: Cuomo at his strongest. So Rob, having seen everything that's
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: led up to this moment with 18 days to go,
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: What would your advice be to candidate Bruce Blakeman?
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: Keep fighting, keep traveling, keep keep on offense and, you know,
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: play the hits. This is what it comes down to now.
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, don't get distracted by stupid little stuff.
• 53:46
  Speaker 7: Just pound, pound, pound.
• 53:49
  Speaker 4: And, you know, he's going to be actually he's going
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: to be in my town in Mount Pleasant in Westchester
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: on tomorrow. Actually, Governor Pataki is going to be with him.
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: So that'll be nice. You know, it's these kind of
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: areas where he's got to make sure he.
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: Pulls out vote.
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: And, you know, the other thing, obviously, they've got to
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: make sure that the paper ballots, the absentees that people
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: have applied for, they've got to chase them. They've got
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: to make sure these people have voted. They've got to
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: make sure these things are in the Board of Elections.
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: All those things matter if it comes down to election
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: night and it's really close. And he's in a position.
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: You know, that's all we want, Curtis, right, is when
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: we're running as challengers, we just want to be in
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: a position to win on election day. And I think
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: he is in a position to win. Will he?
• 54:32
  Speaker 5: I have no idea.
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: But I think he's in a good position to win.
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: And she's freaking awful. You know, her debate performance, just
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: everything about her is atrocious. But she's a D in
• 54:44
  Speaker 4: a D state. That's the only thing she's got going
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: for her.
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: How much does a ground game count in this kind
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: of race?
• 54:52
  Speaker 4: Everything. Honestly, I mean, it means so much. That's why,
• 54:55
  Speaker 4: you know, when I see all this money being poured
• 54:57
  Speaker 4: in and I don't know if you saw the third
• 54:59
  Speaker 4: quarter results for fundraising for around the country. That's the
• 55:04
  Speaker 4: scary part. OK, well, actually, Larry, you're going to go
• 55:06
  Speaker 4: back on the ledge now.
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: Damn you.
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: The amount of money that Democrats raised in the third
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: quarter compared to Republicans, it is it's frightening. Like in Texas,
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: Tallarico raised $ 64 million in the third quarter to Paxton's 18.
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: But the thing that scares me the most, even El-Sayed
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: raised like 20 to Rodgers like seven. The thing that
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: scares me the most is the Republicans had a big
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: advantage and the money that they're making now, a lot
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: of it is, you know, it's super PAC money. So, hey, Elon,
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: can you write a $ 50 million check? And Elon writes
• 55:48
  Speaker 4: the $ 50 million check. The Democrats are raising small dollar money.
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: And that means they're enthusiastic, and those people who write $ 5, $ 10,
• 55:58
  Speaker 4: $ 100 checks, they're engaged. That's what you need. So that's
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: the thing that does scare me. It's always scared me.
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: It's the enthusiasm this year. But I was just in
• 56:09
  Speaker 4: Iowa this week and in Ohio, and I can tell
• 56:12
  Speaker 4: you they're both trending in the right directions. And I
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: was talking to people deep within the campaigns or whatever,
• 56:19
  Speaker 4: and they like what they're seeing here. the last several weeks,
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: they think they're, they're, you know, going in the direction.
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: It wasn't an eye roll.
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: It wasn't like, Oh my God, this is going to
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: be horrible.
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: It's we like where we're going to be. So I think,
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: you know, I do think we're going to win those States. Um, yeah.
• 56:35
  Speaker 4: So I just, now all you're going to hear, and
• 56:38
  Speaker 4: this is the, this is the rollercoaster part that campaigns
• 56:40
  Speaker 4: go through that voters go through. It's all going to
• 56:45
  Speaker 4: be worse negative for Republicans in the next 18 days.
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: Remember Kathy Hochul is a moderate. That's how the New
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: York press, she's a moderate, right? We're going to hear that.
• 56:56
  Speaker 4: We're going to hear doomsday for Republicans, everything for Democrats.
• 57:00
  Speaker 4: People still have to vote. That's what matters. But the
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: ground game is extraordinarily important. That's where I'd rather see
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: money than ads right now that are just noise at
• 57:08
  Speaker 4: this point.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: Well, as you mentioned, Kathy Hochul, miserable performance in the debate.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: That's why I think it is imperative that we, and
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: you suffered the same thing, you know, Cuomo, I might
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: give you one debate. There should be a mandatory two
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: debates on network TV so it's covered throughout the state.
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: Saritha smoked Tish James. Most people will never know that.
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: And Blakeman beat Hochul convincingly as she was sleeping. But
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: I've noticed right away what the Dems are doing. Pictures
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: of Hochul with children. Pictures of Hochul with women. Problem
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: with Bruce. He's surrounded by men. how does he try
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: to offset that tremendous majority that Holcomb will have with
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: the female vote?
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, if you looked in the polling, I'm
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: sure you did. That's, that's the biggest issue Republicans in
• 58:01
  Speaker 4: general have, but Bruce has in New York, there's a big,
• 58:05
  Speaker 4: big gap, you know, with women voters going, going left
• 58:09
  Speaker 4: and sticking with the Democrats men are more for the Republicans,
• 58:12
  Speaker 4: but it's not in that huge imbalance. So, uh, Look,
• 58:17
  Speaker 4: he said, obviously, he's pro-choice in New York. That counts
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: for something, especially with women. But the way women are
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: trending right now, it's like, give me everything. I want
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: big government. I'm going to talk about this tomorrow on
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: my show. I don't know if you guys saw this,
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: but there was a poll that came out. It was
• 58:36
  Speaker 4: shocking that a majority of folks want socialism, certainly that
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: consider themselves Democrats, but also independents getting close to that.
• 58:46
  Speaker 4: not only socialism, but they think Sharia law is acceptable.
• 58:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, so just think about, think about how do
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: we convince these people?
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: It's almost impossible now.
• 58:57
  Speaker 4: They're way off the spectrum. Sharia law and socialism. If
• 59:03
  Speaker 4: that's where we're going, when it is where we're going
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: to some extent, at least with people in this part
• 59:07
  Speaker 4: in this country, how the hell do we turn things
• 59:10
  Speaker 4: around that's complete that's not like america let's go left
• 59:14
  Speaker 4: let's go right that's america we hate we need to
• 59:16
  Speaker 4: completely change.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: It well there's some in the democratic party who believe
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: just that listen i now that you put me back
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: on the ledge i've come to grips with the possibility
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: of losing the house And I think it's probably going
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: to be gone. I think that there's a real opportunity
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: to keep the Senate, especially with the way the polls
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: have been going. And because even CNN pointed out, there
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: is a prejudice in the polls when it comes to
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: Republicans by two to four points. And if you take
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: those two to four points, they're going to win several,
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: several states, including Texas and Ohio, even Michigan. But with
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: the House, it can be won and lost with two
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: seats locally. Kane in New Jersey and Lawler in New York,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: where are they trending?
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: They're both in dogfights, total dogfights, you know, but that's
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 4: just the way it's going to be. And I still
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 4: think Lawler's going to win. I think Kane's going to win.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, there were the other issues with the mental
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 4: health and that stuff. I don't think that's really, I
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 4: don't think that's a big issue. But the candidates running
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 4: against them are two frauds, you know, that portray themselves
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 4: as moderates and this and that and So I still
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 4: think those toss-ups go our way because they're the incumbents.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 4: And I still think we have a shot to win
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 4: the two seats on Long Island, by the way. So,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 4: you know, Laura Gillen and Swazi, I think, are still
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 4: in jeopardy.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: Man, he's Republican all the way. Did you hear that? Yep.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: We win all four seats. If you notice, I stay quiet.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: Out of respect for Rob Astorino. That's why you got
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: to listen as I will tomorrow, 4 to 5, right
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: here on WOR 710 for more of Rob Astorino's analysis.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: We're 18 days away to the midterms.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: But up next, Natalie has gone out and found an
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: expert about mail theft. We're going to be talking directly
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: to Frank Albergo, executive director of Postal Police Officers Association.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: This is an issue that we've talked about, we and
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: we alone, and you've all said it's systemic in the
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: tri-state area up next. Ladies and gentlemen, for months we
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: have been on this subject of mail theft from your
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: blue mailboxes. I brought it to everybody's attention, but our
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: program director, Tom Cuddy, said, hey, it's systemic where we are,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: and he's out in the suburbs. And then Jim Kerr.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: of 50 years, classic rock, said, yeah, I saw it
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: four to five.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: In the morning.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: Natalie Migliore, our street reporter, yeah, I saw it four
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: or five in the morning. Same M.O. So we have
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: an expert on the line right now, Frank Albergo, executive
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: director of Postal Police Officers Association.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: Frank, why is this so rampant and systemic?
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 7: Well, thanks for having me, Curtis. Well, Frankly, because the
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 7: Postal Service has been caught with its pants down. You
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 7: have mail theft, it's at crisis levels. It's a criminal free-for-all.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 7: It's evolved way beyond mailbox phishing. Criminals now have the
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 7: keys to every mail receptacle in a given zip code.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 7: So these are the universal keys that carriers carry. And
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 7: those keys are being stolen, they're being counterfeited, and criminals
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 7: are just stealing mail by the pound. And at the
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 7: same time, while this is happening, while postal crime is skyrocketing,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 7: the Postal Service, in their infinite wisdom, decided to strip
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 7: postal police officers of their law enforcement authority away from
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 7: postal property and fetch us. So postal police officers, and
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 7: there are over 100 in New York, are sitting guarding buildings,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 7: not protecting the mail.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 22: I mean, this is crazy stuff.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 7: Crazy stuff what's happening.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: Well, first of all, if you can give any kind
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: of logic to that, explain what their explanation was. And
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: then also, I just don't understand this. So you are
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: not allowed to go outside of those buildings?
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 7: So I know this is hard to believe, but this
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 7: is really what happened. So for 50 years, When mail
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 7: theft spiked, postal police officers responded. We no longer do
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 7: that today. We literally just let mail theft get worse
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 7: and worse. So what happened was in 2020.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: Postal.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 7: Legal in Washington, D.C., so a bunch of lawyers sitting
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 7: behind a desk decided that postal police officers can no
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 7: longer do proactive patrolling.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: For male theft.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 7: And the reason is it kind of neuters the union
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 7: from getting a higher wages because.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 16: We're doing less.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 7: Um, you know, if you think about it, a postal
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 7: police officers association is a labor union, right? We're, you know,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 7: we are a police union, but we are a labor
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 7: union that wants more work for the same pay. And
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 7: the postal service is like, no, we don't want you
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 7: to do it. It's, it's insane.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: Well, Frank, uh, On the issue of what I have
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: witnessed and so many others, bold brazen mail theft right
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: in front of us. The NYPD is doing nothing. I've
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: reported it and they've told me, Curtis, don't knock yourself out.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: They don't want us to make collars and put it
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: on the books. We know what these banditos are looking for.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: Checks.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: They're looking for gift cards, anything of value. And they
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: toss the rest of the mail they steal. It is
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: more important than ever because mail-in balloting starts now. And
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: a lot of these elections are going to be very close.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: That means you can seal your ballot. You'll walk to
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: your mailbox. You mail it. And a lot of it
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: will be discarded. Not that it's part of anybody trying
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: to change the election, but just by these thieves. And
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: nobody seems to care, Frank.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 7: Right. Well, I mean, that's the problem. This wasn't a
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 7: decision made by the Postal Inspection Service. So a lot
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 7: of people don't know the Postal Service has a law
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 7: enforcement arm called the Postal Inspection Service. And there are
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 7: postal inspectors who are. Basically, criminal investigators think of a detective,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 7: and you have postal police officers, which are uniformed officers.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 7: You know, mail theft is a street-level crime. You cannot
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 7: investigate your way out of a street-level crime. I mean,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 7: think of NYPD trying to stop shoplifting by having detectives
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 7: investigate every instance of shoplifting. It can't be done. You
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 7: have to proactively patrol, and you have to respond to
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 7: crime in real time. So the ballots are just the
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 7: collateral damage of mail theft. So, I mean, this is
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 7: getting worse and worse and worse. It's been going on
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 7: for six years now where postal police cannot patrol a
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 7: blue collection box that we know is getting hit over.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: And over and over again.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 7: And it won't stop.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: What I can't believe is that there's no, is there
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: no way to stop it? I mean, who can people
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: write to? How can we make a change? How can
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: we help? in getting you back on the street, because
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: this makes absolutely no sense.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 7: Right, so we do have a bill in Congress, H.R. 2095,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 7: introduced by New York's own Congressman Garbarino, who's awesome. But
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 7: quite frankly, that legislation is even unnecessary. The Postal Service,
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 7: so PMG Steiner, the Postmaster General, can tomorrow say, Postal Police,
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 7: have jurisdiction.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: Okay. I think people are going to be really upset
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: about this, and they're going to be out there. Frank Albergo,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: Executive Director of Post Office. Police Officers Association, thank you
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: so much. Well, I'll tell you what, Donald Trump right
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: now is in a very difficult situation. He needs to
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: win these midterm elections, and he was hoping that by
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: not attacking Iran, everybody would just forget about Iran for
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: right now. And the Iranians are trying to make certain
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: that does not happen. That's why they had a terrorist
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: attack that they tried to pull off in Great Britain.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: That's why the Houthis keep attacking Saudi Arabia. And Saudi
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: Arabia apparently is having a very difficult time defending themselves
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: about that. That is why also that more ships keep
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: getting through the Straits of Hormuz. I don't know if
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: you heard, but they are now sending another aircraft carrier,
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: the USS George Washington, into the Straits. And this is
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: the commanding officer.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 23: Our job and our mission is simply to provide a
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 23: credible combat power to ensure that we have freedom of
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 23: navigation and maritime security in this area.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: And control over the strength. That's correct. And that's exactly
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: what we're doing. So they're trying to make clear, and
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: the reason he said that and the reason he gave
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: an interview, which is really unusual, right aboard the aircraft carrier,
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: is that the Trump administration wants you to know and
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: wants the world to know, no, we're not sending another
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: aircraft carrier to attack Iran right now. That's still on
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: the table, but it's not going to happen. It doesn't
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: look like before the midterms. Yet with another aircraft carrier
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: going into the area, what they will be paying attention to,
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: are not only the Straits of Hormuz, but the Houthis
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: as well. They're going to do everything possible. It sounds
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: like even though he keeps threatening it, he keeps threatening
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: all the time he's going to go into Iran because
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: he's trying to get them to stand down. In the meantime,
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: the Speaker of the Parliament in Iran addressed the country,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: addressed the country and said, that we should be prepared
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: for war.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 6: So what is the solution? As I have previously said
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 6: in a speech, including in remarks in Parliament, our path
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 6: is this. We must be prepared for war. We must fight.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 6: We must also negotiate in order to establish sustainable deterrence.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: It leads you to believe that with 18 days to
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: go before the midterms, They know about our midterms. They
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: talk about our midterms. They have tried to influence these midterms.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: They believe that weakening, I should say, weakening Donald Trump
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: is a great strategy at this point. And if they
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: can affect these midterms and make it so he has
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: to deal with impeachment over the next two years, they
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: consider that a big win for them. If every bill
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: that goes to the Senate, every bill that goes to
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: the House possibly, that has to deal with funding this war,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: is going to be voted down. And if War Powers
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: Act comes up again, it is very possible that he
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: is going to be forced to end this war. And
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: if you don't think that the Iranians know that, you're
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: not listening. That is all they seem to be talking
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: about these days. So I would keep your eye on
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: Iran for the next two weeks. Something is going to
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: happen there that we may have to respond to. And
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: that is going to have an enormous effect on these
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: midterm elections. But all they seem to be talking about, Curtis,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: all they seem to be talking about are the midterm
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: elections and how they'll be able to influence them.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: But interesting that we have now two countries that claim
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: not to have interceptor missiles anymore, Patriot missiles provided by
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: the United States. Saudi Arabia. The Houthis are firing at will.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: They're firing at major targets. He's saying, where are the
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: interceptor missiles? You guys got more money than most countries combined.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: And then the Ukraine, we don't have any more interceptor missiles.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: Israel is not having to fire their interceptor missiles because
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: obviously nobody is attacking them now. So the president has said,
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: we got plenty of interceptor missiles. That is a real
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: Achilles heel for the Saudi Arabians because the Houthis are
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: They don't have two nickels to rub together. They got
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: nothing to lose. They keep just throwing in drones. They
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: keep throwing in cruise missiles. You know damn well Red
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: China is providing them with a lot of that technology.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: And now Saudi Arabia, with all the wealth in the world,
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: does not have interceptor missiles. They don't have a standing
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: army that's used to fighting. They're used to hiring mercenaries.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: The French have finally said they're going to send some
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: help to Saudi Arabia. to prevent the Houthis from doing
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: more damage. President Trump does not want to get involved
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: in that mess. And he seems to be more focused,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: to be honest with you, with Ukraine, which I'm scratching
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: my head and saying, this is not a time to
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: pick a battle with Zelensky here and make it appear
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: that you're like pro-Putin. It's like, man, Mr. President, you
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: get into these personal beefs. And then all of a
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: sudden you're telling the Ukraine, okay, don't bomb their refineries
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: for diesel. Then he says we're going to buy Russian diesel.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden he says there's an energy truce.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: And nobody believes there's an energy truce. And the Russians
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: proved that. They just went to bombing the grid in
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: the Ukraine. So naturally, Zelensky said, well, if they're going
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: to not abide by an energy truce that, by the way,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: I was never informed of, I'm.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: Going back to bombing the refineries.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: It makes it seem like Donald Trump does not have
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: control of any of these situations.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: He really does. Yeah, I think he's in a quagmire
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: right now in Saudi Arabia. If there wasn't a midterm election,
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: we wouldn't be in a quagmire. If there wasn't a
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: midterm election, he'd be going in there with all hell
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: breaking loose because they deserve it at this point. But
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: the theory that somehow Iran was going to give up
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: before these midterms is gone by the wayside. It went
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: by the wayside about a month and a half ago,
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: when we realized without a shadow of a doubt that
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: they knew very well about the midterms and they wanted
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: to influence the midterms in any way they could. And
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: now they're figuring out that if they can wreak havoc
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: as much as they can, and they're very weak right now,
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: but if they can wreak any havoc, that's going to
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: have a huge influence on the midterms. When it comes
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: to Ukraine, look, there's no heroes in that story. Zelensky's
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: not Zelensky, you know, here's a guy that was maybe
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: one of the most corrupt people in the world until
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: he became a hero because he was attacked by Russia.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: And you have Putin, who just lies constantly. I'm certain
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: that he is gleeful that he made Donald Trump look bad.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: You know, Donald Trump didn't come out and just say that.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: I think it was Putin that told him, you know,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: I'll hold off on that, and then tried to make
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: him look silly after that. So I'm I agree with you.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: Both of them are a problem right now for Donald Trump.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: And except Zelensky, you know, listen, Zelensky lies all the time.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: Zelensky also said that Starlink wasn't working and that we can't.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: track these missiles coming in. And then they came out
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: and said, what are you talking about? The people at
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: Starlink came out and said, what are you talking about?
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: We've had it operating. I don't know what you're complaining about.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: We could see them. We could see missiles coming in.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: How come your people didn't see those missiles coming in?
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: The biggest problem for the president is a big deal
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: was made after the passing of Lindsey Graham, one of
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: the few times a bipartisan vote of Democrats and Republicans
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: voted coming together in honor of Lindsey Graham to increase
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: the new rounds of sanctions against Putin and Russia. The
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: deadline for the implementation is October 18th. The president has
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: given every indication he doesn't have a stomach for it.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: And boy, that, wait, you said I'm signing this in
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: honor of Lindsey Graham, you know.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: If for him not to put it.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: Through after it passed a bipartisan vote.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: Very few of those ever get through the House and
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: the Senate.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: And again, it was in honor of the passing of
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham, who was pro-Ukraine, anti-Putin. There was no doubt
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: about that. In fact, he had just visited the Ukraine
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: before he came back and he passed away. So I
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: just think, look, the president's got a lot of stuff
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: on his plate. He can't keep picking fights, right? You know,
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: he's telling the Ukrainians, you should get rid of Zelensky.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: Come on, that's not an issue now. Truthfully, if there
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: were an election, they might get rid of Zelensky. He's
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: more popular in this country than he is there. And
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: there's another point to be made in all of this.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: And this is a point that Trump makes over and
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: over and over again. Yes, NATO has stepped up. A
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: couple of the countries, especially Germany, has stepped up. But
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: more have to step up. It doesn't always just have
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: to be the United States. And I'm not even sure
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: why President Biden, who is the one that started this
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: whole thing. and said, we'll just take care of this ourselves,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: NATO really had nothing to do with it at that point,
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: made us believe that we're the only ones that can
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: save Ukraine. That's not supposed to happen that way. It
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: is not supposed to happen that way. The other countries,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: if they are concerned about Ukraine, they should stop looking
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: to us and they should step up.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 11: Correct.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: But that could have been dealt with after the midterm elections.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: Trump has triggered all of this before the midterm elections happened.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: With the Iranian question hanging over his head, so many
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: of those. I just think he doesn't know how to
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: just take his gloves, put it down to his side,
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: and let it go for right now.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: Because the way it's.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: Going, so many of these issues are emerging because of
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: what Trump says.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: Well, maybe he is looking at the polls. Because when
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: you look at poll after poll after poll, it's funny
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: to me, it's unusual to me, that Iran... and Ukraine
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: are way down on the list. Way, way down on
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: the list. That's shocking to me.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: Everywhere I go, people say to me, Republicans and Democrats,
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: Why the hell did we get into this damn war
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: with Iran ever since then?
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: You haven't had a Republican say that. Yes, I have. Oh,
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: I don't talk to Republicans? I don't talk to Republicans?
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: Republicans like you, maybe.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: The Republican candidate for mayor, two separate sections, who knows
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: all the Republicans in the state of New York, and
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: you're telling me I'm not talking to Republicans?
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying they're not telling
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: you that. Let me tell you something. They are cursing
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: the fact. that we followed Bibi into this needless endless war.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: You're using them to say what you want to say.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: You're trying to form a crowd to support you. Where
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: are the rallies for the war, Larry?
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: Where are the Republicans rallying to support this war?
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: When has there been a rally for a war? Oh,
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: for Iraq. You forget that? There was a rally for Iraq? Yes,
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: rallies everywhere. People took to the streets. Come on, Larry.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: Stop being in denial. No, I'm not in denial. I
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: just really doubt. that there are many Republicans, because I
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: listen to them all the time. Well, you better start asking.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: And I really do talk to them. Yeah, well, I'm
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: telling you. Who say, no, of course we wanted to
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: end the greatest threat to the world.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: This war is going to cause the loss in the
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: midterm elections.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: Prices skyrocketed after that. But it's worth the price. Oh, yeah, right.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: If we get rid of their nuclear program, that is
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: worth the price. Yeah, it's buried right now. You don't
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: even have a car. It's buried right now. Why do
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: you care about gas? Pickaxe Mountain, right? Groceries, utility bills,
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: mortgage rates.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: Do I have to give you all the prices that
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: are just skyrocketing because.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: Of this stupid war in Iran? Half of the ones
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: you mentioned have nothing to do with the war. Where
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: are the rallies for the war? Have nothing to do
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: with the war. Where are the Republicans saying, hey, yeah, war, war.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 8: War, war?
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: If you would just make sense, it would help. Yeah.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: Weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. We got us into that. Yeah,
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: we go back to that. Anyway, up next, Billy Joel
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: can't perform. This is awful news as we just keep
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: praying that Billy Joel will make a full recovery from
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: some fluid that was building up on his brain that
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: had to be operated on. And he hasn't made a
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: full recovery just yet. He's, as you know, they've told
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: him already he can't drive anymore. which is the reason
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: he's selling all of his motorcycles, 70 motorcycles he is selling.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: But in an interview, he also explained that a neurologist
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: told him that you can't perform live anymore, at least
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: in a big show, maybe at a piano, just in
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: a room with a few people. But every time he
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: does a show, it's like you're getting a concussion, is
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: what he said to him. Because it's so loud. A
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: rock show is going to be that loud. And he,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: in this interview, said rock and roll made me deaf already.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: So it's the lightning, the sound, the stress of the show,
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: the audience, the energy, the performance that all these years
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: just kept pounding away at my brain. And he again said,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: my doctor says it's like having a concussion. So it
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: doesn't sound like he's going to be performing anymore. I
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: don't know about what he can do in his studio,
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: but you know what? We still have his songs to remember.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: What I'm hoping is that maybe he can do small
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: shows without the loud sounds, but he's saying even the
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: audience clapping and yelling is a problem.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: It's almost like the equivalent, having had many concussions, a
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: combination of vertical and a concussion.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: Where the sound causes, and my mom had vertigo, so
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: she explained how sounds just reverberate and you had to
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: turn everything off.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: It just, it bothered her enormously. And I'm sure everybody
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: that's listening right now thinks the same thing I do.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: He just has to get better. You know, we can
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: listen to his songs on the radio and we can
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: listen to them on records, but he has to, he
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: just has to get better.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 24: Hey, that was a great segment with the postal inspector.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 24: One point though, that uh you guys can follow up
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 24: with is the fact that the checks that people put
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 24: in the mail when you write a check you have
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 24: to use a gel pen these thieves are looking for
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 24: the checks to wash them clean and rewrite them so
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 24: they can cash them out using gel pens prevents that
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 24: from happening.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: Well uh natalie you have an update for us on
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: that the sophistication Apparently of these banditos, these male bandits
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: has gone beyond that, correct?
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 8: Well, yeah.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 5: I mean, according to some reports, it was true that
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 5: the gel pen does help deter the washing of the check.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 3: But the criminals have evolved.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 5: They no longer need to wash checks or erase the
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 5: ink anymore to be able to access your financial data.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 3: So they're using it beyond just washing the checks.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: Wow. Can they duplicate the checks now with AI?
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 5: I'm not 100 percent sure, but you know what? I
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 5: would not doubt that AI could probably help them in
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 5: their work.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 7: Curtis, this one's for you. Talk about Kathy Hochul as
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 7: being a grifter.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 19: Gil Foyle, the ultimate grifter.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 10: Think about it.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, there's no doubt. Gil Foyle was, what do you
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: call it? A gold digger.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: A gold digger, but also a social climber. But she
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: just knows so many things about Newsom. I think we
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: can suggest that he's going to be in the Democratic
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: primaries to run for the presidency. And also Donald Trump Jr.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: and Mar-a-Lago and the Trump family. He says, he has
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: told CNN that if Kamala runs, he won't run. Yeah,
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: and Ossoff in Georgia said in his debate against Collins,
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: where Trump is going today, by the way, to stump
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: for Collins and other Republicans, oh, I'm not running.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 2: I never believe these people. Yeah, I think he's telling
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: the truth.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: Newsom was born when upon his birth he thought he
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: was entitled to run for president but now but right
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: now it's 8 30 so let's get the news from Daria.

• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: We'll be giving away more tickets then. When we come back,
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: just a horrible story. It has happened again. Another school shooting,
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: this time in Oregon with five dead. And now new
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: information about who the shooter is. We'll share it with
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: you next. It happened again. You were praying that it
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: would never happen again, but it has happened one more time.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: A mass shooting at an elementary school in Bend, Oregon
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: at 1259. It was one minute later. before the lunch
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: bell was going to go off to end lunch and
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: resume classes. And a shooter came in, 16 years old,
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: and opened fire.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 21: They are taking an active shooter, call it 615307 East
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 21: Stone Creek Lane.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 13: Looks like the shooter has been neutralized, possibly shot by
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 13: a fodder.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 22: At the school.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, he was neutralized. And we'll talk more about the
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: man who shot him. It wasn't the police that got him.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: It was a bystander, someone that happened to be walking nearby,
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: a parent at the school he's being identified by as CNN,
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: who was armed. He went in and shot the 16-year-old
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: and prevented anybody else from dying, but not before he
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: killed three children, a five-year-old, an eight-year-old, an 11-year-old, and
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 2: a teacher. And I will tell you this. I mean,
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 2: it's sickening. And there's not much to say about this
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 2: until the investigation happens. We're going to be finding out
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: a whole lot more over the next several hours. But
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 2: parents were notified that this was happening. And listen to
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: what this parent said. And this is a huge problem.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 22: I was at work. I was Got an automated message
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 22: from the school saying that there was a lockdown. And
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 22: we've had these before and they've never been serious. So
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 22: I really didn't think anything of it.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they have to rethink their policies on preparing children
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 2: for this. They have to rethink it completely because the
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: same alarm goes off that does when they practice these.
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: And they don't tell them it's a drill when they
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: practice it. So over and over and over again, when
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: they do these several times a year, in these schools,
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 2: not only do they scare some of the kids and
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 2: scare some of the parents, but they get to the
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: point where they're immune to it. So when these alarms
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: go off and all of a sudden it's going to
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: be a drill on an active shooter drill, They get
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: so used to it. When an active shooter, this has
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: happened like three times now, when an active shooter actually happens,
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 2: they don't respond like they should.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's almost like fire alarm, fire alarm.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: You know, you had the fire alarm and then everybody
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: left the school, came back. I took advantage of just
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: going home the rest of the day. I usually did
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: it towards the end of the day. But you're absolutely right.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: The other thing is apparently he had a pump action
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: shotgun that his mother had purchased. So he got his
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: hands on that. Not to suggest that there aren't a
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: lot of guns here. This is one of the places
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: I actually spent some time going from Portland over Mount
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: Hood to Bend. Total different part of the state. You know,
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: we think Salem, Eugene, Portland, very liberal.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. You go over Mount Hood.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: Man, you're in Western Oregon, Wasco County. A lot of
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: people have guns. You know, there are ranches out there, sheep, cows, sagebrush,
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: small town mentality. A lot of people have the pickup trucks,
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: you know, with the racks. And it's just good that
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: this parent was strapped. I don't know what weapon he had,
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: but clearly he was able to save the day and
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: prevent even more casualties. And God only knows how many
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: more would have been seriously injured.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: And this is going to start the debate again in
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: this country. And I'm on the side of the people
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 2: that there should be someone with a gun at a school.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: And this is proof positive that they could, he could have,
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: if he was strapped and he was guarding this school,
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: this would not have happened. He could have stopped this
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: guy almost immediately. As soon as he saw him, he
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: could have stopped him. And so people have been saying
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: across the country over and over and over again that
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 2: The one way to stop this is to get former
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: police officers to be at the schools with a weapon
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: that are now guarding the schools. They're there on hand
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 2: to stop this when this happens. And every single time
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: it happens, there is blowback to that by all the
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 2: people that are anti-gun. No, no, no. You don't want
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: to gun her to school. You don't want to gun
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: her to school at all. Well, guess what? They're going
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 2: to turn up. every once in a while at his school.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: And if someone else there doesn't have a gun, guess
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 2: what's going to happen? Three children are going to die,
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 2: and a teacher is going to die. You know, I
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 2: used to be against this from the beginning, but it
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 2: makes so much sense to me now.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 4: No, it does.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: And just think, all the universities we've been talking about,
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: although they're very large populations, they have armed police officers
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: of their own. You don't need that many, obviously, at
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: a school. But one or two dedicated men or women who,
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: as you mentioned, are retirees, responsible gun handlers, just rather
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: to be safe than sorry.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. And it's the only way. If you think about it,
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: it's the only way. These drills don't work. There's nothing
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: that's been tried ever since. Remember when there was a
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: spate of these drills? when there was four or five
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 2: huge shootings. Right after Columbine. Yeah, exactly. It happened all
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 2: the way. There was some that, you know, had dozens
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: and dozens of kids shot. Every single time one of
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 2: those happens, people say, and gun advocates especially say, it's
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: very easy to stop this. Just have somebody with a gun.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: Have someone with a gun there. And every single time
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 2: there is blowback to that and they're called gun nuts.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 13: No.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 2: How many kids have to die? how many kids have
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 2: to die across the country before we get reasonable and
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: realize guns aren't going anywhere. And if the bad guy
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: is going to have a gun, if a crazy person
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 2: could have a gun and they're going to show up
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 2: at a school to shoot our children, then I want
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: someone there to defend them. And if you can't do that,
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 2: you know what? I'll homeschool my kids. If you can't
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 2: do that, I know the colleges, the colleges that my
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 2: kids go to now, they have armed guards there.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know of any college I've been to, you know, I've,
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: done a lot of speaking engagements at different kinds of
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: college campuses, you're always introduced to the police of the campus,
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: whether it's a junior college, four-year college, or major university,
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: and they escort you around, and you see they're armed,
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: and they have all the rights that an armed police
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: officer has in the nearby town.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 2: Could you imagine how much parents would feel so much
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: better if they showed up every morning And there was
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: this nice retired police officer that welcomed them and talked
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 2: to them and said hi to the kids and all
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 2: the kids got to know. How wonderful that would be.
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 2: It is the answer. It makes so much sense. We've
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 2: tried everything else. Everything that we've been told, no, you
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 2: can't have a gun at the school. Let's try this.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 2: Let's try this. Let's try these drills. Let's try locking
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 2: the doors. Nothing, nothing else has worked. It's time to
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: try this.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, boy, I turned myself off there. I'd just like
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: to rip off. I completely concur with you, Larry. But
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: up next, this is really the test for AOC to
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: see if she can get national support for a presidential
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: run in a non-urban area. She's touring northern Michigan, which
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: is not urban at all, with Al-Said as he is
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: in a neck-and-neck race. with Congressman Rogers for the U.S.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: Senate seat in Michigan coming up next. Well, this is
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: the big national litmus test for AOC, all-out crazy Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: She's sitting on $ 17 million of money. She's running for
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 1: her House seat, but the Republican, unfortunately, nice guy, Albanian-American,
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: he doesn't have a chance. And she's testing the waters.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: Should I run for president? Or should I run against
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer if he decides to run again? Or I'll
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: run if he decides not to. This will be a
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: big test. She's with El Said. They're on a bus tour.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: And not of lower Michigan, which is very urban. But
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: north of Jackson, north of Kalamazoo, north of Muskegon. Larry,
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: I've been up there. It's a world apart from southern Michigan.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: I know exactly what you're talking about. And this is
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: why this man should not be a U.S.
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 2: Senator. If he really thought that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was going
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 2: to help him in northern Michigan... He is insane. Just
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: forget about the Muslim Brotherhood and forget about Hassan Piker,
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 2: the fact that he pals around with him. The fact
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 2: that he's going with AOC into some of the most
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 2: conservative areas of Michigan proves that he doesn't have the
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 2: intelligence to be a U.S. Senator.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: And I got to believe that Team Rogers.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 2: neck and neck in the polls.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: It's probably going to have some meet and greet people
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: who are going to be there at their bus stops
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: because it's publicized in advance. It's not like you don't
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: know where the bus is going. And going to give
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: them grief. So you got El-Sayed, who has now been
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: associated with the Muslim Brotherhood when he's asked questions about
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: that initial NBC interview where he said, that's an Islamophobic question.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: He refused to answer it. And you got AOC coming
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: from New York City saying, Into an urban area where, yeah,
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: everybody carries guns, they go fishing, and it's Trump land
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: up there in northern Michigan.
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 2: There is a long list of questions he will not answer.
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 2: And you can't, you know, you ran, you ran. You
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 2: can't get away with that. You have to, if you
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 2: don't have an answer, you better come up with an answer.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 2: But he feels like he can keep saying, that's silly,
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to answer that. I'm not going to
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 2: answer any questions about that. How many times have you
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 2: seen him on TV saying that? Oh, yeah. Which also
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: leads you to believe... that the bad things are true.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 2: If you don't have a denial, that means it's probably true.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 1: And remember, AOC crowed out like three weeks ago, you know,
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: if El-Said can win, anybody can win. Again, that's a
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: precursor to her running for national office. But the big
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: gun is coming up in for him, El-Sayed. And that
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: is Barack Obama, who has a great following in the
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: African-American community. El-Sayed is not doing as well in the
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: polls amongst African-Americans as a normal Democrat would.
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 2: But we'll see. You know, Obama brings that magic, boy. No,
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 2: he's great. And what he'll do is he won't go
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 2: out and campaign with them. He'll have a big rally,
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: just like Trump has been doing. But AOC, by the way,
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 2: is already making news and saying stupid things. First up,
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 2: very first up, what the Trump administration is doing is
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 2: attacking women's ability to get an education. He is trying
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 2: to stop them from going to college. That's a quote. Larry,
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 2: there are more women in universities now than men. No kidding.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 2: There's nobody trying to stop women to go to college
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 2: or get an education. It is the dumbest thing, but
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 2: that's just day one. Let's wait for day two and
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 2: day three. We can talk about it on Monday. Oh, man.
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: I can just see those hunters up there with their
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: lumberjack shirts.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 2: Remember, you can bring your guns to the rallies. It's legal.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: Remember when they surrounded Lansing, the state capital, and all
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: the legislators ran? Michigan, as liberal as it is, you
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: can carry your rifles around, your long guns.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I trust those gun owners. Those guys aren't
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 2: going to shoot somebody. It's on the streets of New
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 2: York you're going to get shot.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: Anyway, the talkback in the morning and winner of the
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: Curtis Lee and Larry Menti in the morning T-shirt and
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: also the talk back of the weekend winner of the

  Speaker 1: c crane radio had an interesting observation about the brazen
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: male thefts happening throughout our city.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 12: Elon musk is releasing a car that will fly and
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 12: do flips. Are you telling me the United States Postal
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 12: Service can't design a mail receptor that is tamper-proof?
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: Of course they can. They just won't. If you missed
