Latest / Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning / Hour 1: Labor Day travel.
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Now, Curtis Lewa and Larry Minty in the morning.
- 0:05Speaker 2: 710WOR. Can we just sit and marvel of the beauty
- 0:09Speaker 2: of this weekend that's before us? It's going to be gorgeous.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Wait a second. How was the travel today for you
- 0:16Speaker 1: guys coming in?
- 0:18Speaker 2: Light. Very light. Light? How about nobody? Yeah, I mean,
- 0:22Speaker 2: it was empty.
- 0:23Speaker 1: And what is it going to be like on your
- 0:25Speaker 1: exodus out?
- 0:27Speaker 3: Yeah, all depends on timing.
- 0:29Speaker 2: I know.
- 0:30Speaker 3: That's a tricky one. I mean, honestly, coming in this morning,
- 0:33Speaker 3: I thought to myself, is it Saturday?
- 0:35Speaker 2: Did I? Oh, it was worse than Saturday. At least
- 0:38Speaker 2: people are going to the theater. I know. Nobody was
- 0:41Speaker 2: coming in. I was like, what's happening?
- 0:42Speaker 4: But, you know, I've always felt like if you could
- 0:45Speaker 4: get out by 11, you know, if you're going to
- 0:48Speaker 4: one of the shores, either by the Long Island or
- 0:50Speaker 4: New Jersey, and That's your safest bet. Anytime after 11,
- 0:53Speaker 4: it gets tricky.
- 0:54Speaker 2: Because if people are renting down there, they have to
- 0:56Speaker 2: get in somewhere between noon and 3. So they have
- 1:00Speaker 2: to leave anywhere. So you're right. Between 11 and 2 o'clock,
- 1:04Speaker 2: that's when it's massive. Especially when you're going down the
- 1:07Speaker 2: Turnpike for the exit for the Garden State Parkway. That
- 1:11Speaker 2: gets packed up for miles. Wow.
- 1:14Speaker 1: So this is good advice for me. Because I got
- 1:16Speaker 1: to speak at the University of Pennsylvania today at four.
- 1:21Speaker 1: So if I'm going down the turnpike, what's the best
- 1:25Speaker 1: time for me to get there? Because once I'm past
- 1:28Speaker 1: the exit, Garden State Parkway towards Atlantic City, it should
- 1:31Speaker 1: go easy till exit four. Then, naturally, I want to
- 1:34Speaker 1: go through Camden first. I want to get to the
- 1:38Speaker 1: grunge and then go over to Ben Franklin Bridge and
- 1:41Speaker 1: then to the University of Penn. Oh, yeah, my old battlegrounds.
- 1:45Speaker 2: I would skip the Ben Franklin Bridge altogether. You know,
- 1:49Speaker 2: you can do that just by getting off and taking
- 1:51Speaker 2: 95 down. So you can skip the Ben Franklin Bridge
- 1:54Speaker 2: because that might end up being a problem altogether. You know,
- 1:58Speaker 2: going your way, though, it's probably going to be light
- 2:00Speaker 2: going your way, but you're going to see a lot
- 2:02Speaker 2: of traffic, a lot of.
- 2:03Speaker 1: Traffic coming your way. All right, so that's good advice
- 2:05Speaker 1: because I would have assumed, you know, easy going, easy going.
- 2:08Speaker 1: Everybody's already broken out. But, see, that's why I have
- 2:11Speaker 1: to go to the pros. You guys live that ride
- 2:15Speaker 1: each and every day, off-peak, peak, holiday, it doesn't matter.
- 2:20Speaker 1: So I'm going to be telling the missus and my
- 2:23Speaker 1: little crew that's coming with me, uh-uh. What time do
- 2:27Speaker 1: we got to be past the Garden State Parkway, you say,
- 2:29Speaker 1: the turnoff for Atlantic City?
- 2:31Speaker 2: By 11 or noon?
- 2:33Speaker 3: If you're all the way down there, I'd say.
- 2:35Speaker 2: By noon you're safe. Okay, good. Good. Thank you for
- 2:38Speaker 2: that advice. Thank you.
- 2:40Speaker 3: I don't want you to be, you know, late for.
- 2:42Speaker 2: The Ivy League.
- 2:43Speaker 5: No, no.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Four o'clock.
- 2:45Speaker 3: That's a great campus. I went to tour that campus once.
- 2:48Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness.
- 2:49Speaker 6: Penny?
- 2:49Speaker 4: Yes.
- 2:50Speaker 1: That's gorgeous.
- 2:51Speaker 2: It's really nice on campus. Yeah. You can't live a
- 2:54Speaker 2: block off the campuses because there's a lot of crime
- 2:58Speaker 2: in those areas.
- 2:58Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
- 2:58Speaker 1: But interesting is that Again, remember when I went to Stanford,
- 3:02Speaker 1: it was on the Memorial Day weekend. People said, nobody's
- 3:05Speaker 1: going to be in Palo Alto, you know, Memorial Day weekend.
- 3:08Speaker 1: The place was packed. They insist the place is going
- 3:10Speaker 1: to be packed today. They had to look for another
- 3:12Speaker 1: venue because they just got back to school.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 3:15Speaker 3: I mean, I even asked my son, I'm like, hey,
- 3:17Speaker 3: do you want to come down to the show this weekend?
- 3:18Speaker 3: He's like, no, everybody's here. Why would I want to
- 3:21Speaker 3: go down there?
- 3:21Speaker 2: Yeah, Penn has some huge theaters, too, and huge areas.
- 3:26Speaker 2: I think they have the Annenberg Auditorium seats almost, like,
- 3:28Speaker 2: 1500 or 2000. Let's hope they got that for me. Yeah.
- 3:33Speaker 1: I'll be able to let you know when we're back
- 3:34Speaker 1: on Tuesday, but interesting. I was talking with Larry in
- 3:38Speaker 1: advance and all, you know, Larry loves the AI loves
- 3:40Speaker 1: to Google, you know, and I say, Hey, you know,
- 3:43Speaker 1: My history with the Labor Day parade, when my dad
- 3:45Speaker 1: took me there in 1960, Nixon versus Kennedy. And that's
- 3:49Speaker 1: when Jimmy Hoffa and the Teamsters broke for Nixon and
- 3:51Speaker 1: the Republicans against the Democrats.
- 3:54Speaker 2: And you did a Google for Labor Day parade. And
- 3:56Speaker 2: what did you come up with? I forget. The West
- 3:59Speaker 2: Indian Day, Caribbean Day parade. That's right. That's right.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Which I'll be at every year. But that's Monday. That's
- 4:05Speaker 1: in Crown Heights. There'll be about a million people there.
- 4:08Speaker 1: The traditional Labor Day parade is no more. It'll take
- 4:11Speaker 1: place a few weeks later. It'll be on a Saturday.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Our own Jim Kerr leads our SAG-AFTRA unit because he's
- 4:18Speaker 1: a lifelong member.
- 4:20Speaker 2: Remember, it was SAG-AFTRA. the nanny who walked, remember?
- 4:26Speaker 1: They took everybody out of the TV studios, the movie studios,
- 4:30Speaker 1: the script writers, all over AI.
- 4:32Speaker 3: You're talking about Fran Drescher.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Yes, the nanny. I think most people know her as
- 4:36Speaker 1: the nanny. And I had put a word out to her.
- 4:39Speaker 1: I didn't speak directly to her, but one of her
- 4:41Speaker 1: assistants said, what about the radio division? We're ready to
- 4:44Speaker 1: walk out. And they said, no need for that. Well,
- 4:46Speaker 1: guess what? Thank God I ended up here at iHeart
- 4:50Speaker 1: where they have said AI stands for actual intelligence. We're
- 4:53Speaker 1: not going to use artificial intelligence. But that was one
- 4:57Speaker 1: of the issues for that SAG-AFTRA strike. Remember, that went
- 5:00Speaker 1: on for many, many weeks. There hadn't been a strike
- 5:02Speaker 1: since I think it was 1960 when Ronald Reagan and
- 5:05Speaker 1: a Democrat, the president of SAG-AFTRA, was out on the
- 5:08Speaker 1: picket line with Marilyn Monroe before she hooked up with
- 5:12Speaker 1: the Kennedys. because they were striking the movie studios.
- 5:17Speaker 2: Yeah, I told this story in the air before. You
- 5:18Speaker 2: talked about SAG-AFTRA and going up against AI. I know
- 5:23Speaker 2: a guy that owns radio stations in New Jersey. His
- 5:26Speaker 2: name is Bob McGowan. And I talk to him every
- 5:29Speaker 2: once in a while. He has AI doing his overnight
- 5:33Speaker 2: shifts on rock stations, on top 40 stations. And he
- 5:39Speaker 2: says he loves it. It's unbelievable. You can't tell the difference.
- 5:42Speaker 2: And he says, and no longer do you have to
- 5:45Speaker 2: deal with stubborn DJs. He said, if I want the
- 5:47Speaker 2: time every 15 minutes, damn it, I'll get the time
- 5:51Speaker 2: every 15 minutes. I just program it.
- 5:53Speaker 3: Have you heard it? Can you tell the difference?
- 5:55Speaker 2: No, I have heard it. And I can't tell the difference.
- 5:58Speaker 4: Because I still think there are some things that people
- 6:00Speaker 4: are using AFR and it's not great. There was actually
- 6:03Speaker 4: an interesting article about restaurants using it for advertisements and menus.
- 6:09Speaker 4: And so the food is not real. It's not a
- 6:12Speaker 4: picture of the meal. And it just looks funky.
- 6:16Speaker 3: There's something off about it.
- 6:18Speaker 2: There's good AI and there's bad AI. The really good AI,
- 6:23Speaker 2: you've seen it online. Can you actually tell the difference
- 6:26Speaker 2: in the really good AI? How about some of the
- 6:28Speaker 2: ads you've seen in politics? I mean, the really good
- 6:32Speaker 2: stuff looks like it's actually the politician. The really bad
- 6:35Speaker 2: stuff like Blakeman did? It was Kathy Hochul.
- 6:40Speaker 1: But let me do a pivot and shift on you
- 6:42Speaker 1: to maybe what was one of the most preferred movies
- 6:46Speaker 1: in your lifetime, Larry. I'm just assuming based on your
- 6:49Speaker 1: Irish roots, The Irishman, you know, the Scorsese movie that
- 6:53Speaker 1: went on, what was that, three and a half, four hours? Oh, my, oh, no, my.
- 6:57Speaker 1: But it was all about Jimmy Hoffa. They had Pacino
- 7:00Speaker 1: playing Hoffa. God, come on. That was not good. They
- 7:04Speaker 1: had De Niro playing the Irishman, right? They had Pesci
- 7:08Speaker 1: playing the mob guy, the Italian mob guy from Buffalo.
- 7:12Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember who else, man. There were a
- 7:14Speaker 1: few others. Oh, your favorite guy, Angelo Bruno. Angelo Bruno
- 7:18Speaker 1: was Harvey Keitel. But the guy that they– I forget
- 7:21Speaker 1: who they played. It was the guy who actually whacked Hoffa, Anthony–
- 7:27Speaker 1: Tony Provenzano was the head of the Teamsters Union in
- 7:31Speaker 1: Union City.
- 7:32Speaker 2: That's where all the trucks were.
- 7:33Speaker 1: And he had gotten into a beef with Hoffa when
- 7:36Speaker 1: Hoffa was sent away to Leavenworth for jury tampering, conspiracy, racketeering, everything.
- 7:43Speaker 1: I think it was 67. And, man, he carried it
- 7:46Speaker 1: out after Hoffa was given a commutation by Nixon. Remember,
- 7:49Speaker 1: he supported Nixon with the Teamsters in 60 against Kennedy.
- 7:53Speaker 1: So Nixon commutes his sentence in 71 with the provision.
- 7:57Speaker 1: that you will never run for the presidency of the
- 8:00Speaker 1: Teamsters again. And what did Jimmy Hoffa say?
- 8:03Speaker 2: Oof, I'm running again.
- 8:05Speaker 1: And that's when the mob guys decided we got to
- 8:08Speaker 1: take him out. And I know how it was done.
- 8:10Speaker 1: And I hope we get some talkbacks on this because
- 8:12Speaker 1: they've done movies, documentaries. He goes to make his bones
- 8:16Speaker 1: with Anthony Tony Pro Provenzano at a diner in Detroit.
- 8:22Speaker 1: And instead, he comes out in a 55-gallon drum and
- 8:27Speaker 1: then gets up getting buried right underneath the Pulaski Bridge.
- 8:30Speaker 1: I'm sure you've gone under the Pulaski Skyway many times
- 8:33Speaker 1: over it, right?
- 8:34Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. And I think you too, Natalie.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Over the Pulaski Skyway, you see that in the opening
- 8:39Speaker 1: credits of The Sopranos.
- 8:40Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really pretty.
- 8:42Speaker 1: It's the ugliest bridge ever. But underneath on the Jersey
- 8:50Speaker 1: City side is the old PJP landfill. It's still this
- 8:53Speaker 1: smoke that comes out of it. It used to be
- 8:55Speaker 1: owned by the Genovese crime family. That's where they put
- 8:58Speaker 1: the 55-gallon drum, that toxic waste drum with Jimmy Hoffa,
- 9:03Speaker 1: not where they claim, you know, at MetLife Stadium there.
- 9:07Speaker 2: Under the goalposts. No, no, no, no, no.
- 9:10Speaker 1: It's under the Pulaski skyway.
- 9:11Speaker 2: And how do you know this?
- 9:12Speaker 1: Oh, man, I've heard it from a bunch of wise
- 9:14Speaker 1: guys from the Genovese crime family.
- 9:16Speaker 2: But everybody likes to do their own adaptation.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Scorsese spent, what, three and a half hours trying to
- 9:21Speaker 1: spin it differently? That it was one of your peeps
- 9:24Speaker 1: that whacked him?
- 9:26Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- 9:28Speaker 1: You see, Scorsese didn't want to put this on an
- 9:31Speaker 1: Italian guy.
- 9:31Speaker 2: Which one of my peeps? Is it the Germans or
- 9:33Speaker 2: the Irish? No, the Irish.
- 9:34Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 9:35Speaker 2: You really believe that De Niro was the Irishman? Come on.
- 9:38Speaker 1: I know he played Jimmy Burke in Goodfellas, the Irishman,
- 9:41Speaker 1: but I'm telling you, I really hated that movie, The Irishman.
- 9:46Speaker 2: You know, wrapping up everything we talked about, you know
- 9:48Speaker 2: what movie could have used AI? The Irishman.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Yes.
- 9:51Speaker 2: Remember the anti-aging technology they used? It was awful. Oh, Pacino.
- 9:57Speaker 1: You know who Pacino looked like in that movie? He
- 10:00Speaker 1: looked like Stevie Van Zandt, you know, in The Sopranos.
- 10:05Speaker 1: I said, what the hell is this? Why are you
- 10:08Speaker 1: still always using the same characters? He just would keep Casino, Goodfellas.
- 10:13Speaker 1: We could just go on and on. Three and a
- 10:16Speaker 1: half hours of torture to have to be told that
- 10:18Speaker 1: an Irishman was the guy who killed Jimmy Hoffa.
- 10:21Speaker 2: That is a lie.
- 10:23Speaker 1: It was Anthony Tony Provenzano, the Italian guy, did it.
- 10:27Speaker 2: All right. I've heard theories from everybody. So you're saying
- 10:30Speaker 2: yours is absolutely correct.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Although my memory at the age of six, right, Labor
- 10:35Speaker 1: Day parade. Larry, you can't imagine it. All the unions
- 10:39Speaker 1: are there. And the sidelines on Fifth Avenue packed. I mean,
- 10:44Speaker 1: packed with people. So they're supporting the Democrat, although they
- 10:48Speaker 1: supported Humphrey in the primary against Kennedy because he was
- 10:51Speaker 1: more union friendly. They always thought that Kennedy... Kennedy, as
- 10:54Speaker 1: they called it, crime family was a union busting family
- 10:58Speaker 1: and they didn't trust the Kennedy boys, but.
- 11:00Speaker 2: They went with them.
- 11:01Speaker 1: And then here are the teamsters ready to get into
- 11:04Speaker 1: a fight with my dad, the National Maritime Union. You know,
- 11:07Speaker 1: they were supporting Kennedy with their crooked president. Forget what
- 11:12Speaker 1: the hell his name was. They were always raiding the
- 11:14Speaker 1: pension funds, always stealing the men and women's money. And
- 11:17Speaker 1: it's like I'm a six-year-old kid. What am I going
- 11:19Speaker 1: to do if my dad gets into a fight with
- 11:23Speaker 1: the National Maritime Union, you know, the guys who went
- 11:25Speaker 1: out to sea against the Teamsters.
- 11:27Speaker 2: Who are all tough guys too? Well, I'll tell you what.
- 11:30Speaker 2: We want to get to your talkbacks. A lot to
- 11:31Speaker 2: talk about. You can tell us exactly where Jimmy Hoffa
- 11:34Speaker 2: is because apparently everybody has a theory. Curtis says he's right.
- 11:38Speaker 4: Is he?
- 11:38Speaker 2: Leave us a talkback. Go to the iHeartRadio app. You
- 11:41Speaker 2: could win a Curtis Lewa and Larry Menti in the
- 11:43Speaker 2: morning T-shirt, which will be awarded every day to our
- 11:46Speaker 2: favorite talkback of the morning. And while you're on the
- 11:48Speaker 2: free iHeartRadio app, be sure to set a preset for 710WOR. Also,
- 11:54Speaker 2: let's talk about Labor Day, the lack of parades, what
- 11:57Speaker 2: you might be doing this weekend. And don't forget, the
- 12:00Speaker 2: best talkback of the week takes home a C-Crane radio.
- 12:03Speaker 2: For the listener who demands better, C-Crane radios with legendary reception.
- 12:11Speaker 2: All right, when we come back, the Dancing with the
- 12:15Speaker 2: Stars celebrity cast has been announced, and somebody is not
- 12:20Speaker 2: on it. Somebody is not happy. We'll hear from that
- 12:25Speaker 2: somebody coming up next, plus a chance to see Air
- 12:29Speaker 2: Supply at 825.
- 12:30Speaker 7: The city that never sleeps isn't waking up the same anymore.
- 12:35Speaker 2: Curtis Lewa and Larry Menti in the morning, 710WOR. Hey,
- 12:41Speaker 2: listen to this, Curtis. They came out with the celebrities.
- 12:44Speaker 2: They're going to be in Dancing with the Stars. You
- 12:46Speaker 2: look like a big Dancing with the Stars fan.
- 12:48Speaker 1: Not a fan, but... Can I give you the list first? Well,
- 12:53Speaker 1: let me tell you first before you give me the list.
- 12:56Speaker 1: When I came over here to be matched with you,
- 12:59Speaker 1: the shit act made by Tom Cuddy, our program director... Natalie,
- 13:03Speaker 1: our producer, who's been here forever, said, oh, we're going
- 13:05Speaker 1: to get you on Dancing with the Stars.
- 13:08Speaker 2: You're such a good dancer. I was going to give
- 13:11Speaker 2: you the list so you could then be disappointed when
- 13:14Speaker 2: you hear the people. But I still think it's going
- 13:16Speaker 2: to work. I still think that you will be disappointed.
- 13:19Speaker 2: when you hear the people that apparently are bigger stars
- 13:22Speaker 2: than you are. This is 35 years, right? They've been
- 13:24Speaker 2: doing this, Dancing with the Stars, 25 years?
- 13:26Speaker 3: It's a long time.
- 13:28Speaker 2: I don't think it's 35 years. I think it's 35 years.
- 13:29Speaker 3: Maybe seasons, if they do two seasons a year.
- 13:32Speaker 2: I'll give you the names first, and you tell me
- 13:34Speaker 2: if you know any of them. Amber Glenn. Oh, come on.
- 13:38Speaker 2: She's an Olympic figure skater. Apparently not one of the
- 13:42Speaker 2: best ones, but an Olympic figure skater. She'll be good then.
- 13:45Speaker 2: How about Sierra Miller?
- 13:47Speaker 5: Not.
- 13:48Speaker 2: She's the reality star from The Summer House.
- 13:51Speaker 1: The what?
- 13:51Speaker 2: Come on. Connor Leavitt?
- 13:55Speaker 1: Mm-mm.
- 13:55Speaker 2: Star from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives?
- 13:59Speaker 3: So I gotta like reality TV, okay.
- 14:01Speaker 2: Connor Wood?
- 14:03Speaker 3: He sounds familiar.
- 14:04Speaker 2: Now he... is so unknown, they don't even have a
- 14:08Speaker 2: real credit for them. They just have internet personality.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Yeah, I probably knew one of the producers, a family
- 14:15Speaker 1: member of one of the producers.
- 14:17Speaker 2: This, I'm not going to bore everybody with all of them,
- 14:19Speaker 2: but this is, they were just the first four. This
- 14:21Speaker 2: is the worst. cast i have ever seen and you
- 14:27Speaker 2: couldn't make.
- 14:28Speaker 1: It no because i depended on natalie who said she
- 14:31Speaker 1: would lobby uh also sorts on the side you know
- 14:35Speaker 1: gandhi and diamond with z100 Elvis Duran. I do drops
- 14:41Speaker 1: with them every two weeks for an FM audience. Oh,
- 14:44Speaker 1: they swore they were going to get me on Dancing
- 14:46Speaker 1: with the Stars.
- 14:47Speaker 4: They probably have more pull with Dancing with the Stars
- 14:50Speaker 4: than I would.
- 14:50Speaker 2: Oh, no, no, don't. You sold me out. I'll tell you.
- 14:53Speaker 3: That was like week two, basically, of you being here.
- 14:57Speaker 3: I didn't really know you yet. I didn't know if
- 14:59Speaker 3: you were serious. I was like, I'm not going to
- 15:01Speaker 3: go through with this because.
- 15:03Speaker 2: Now you know. Now I know.
- 15:05Speaker 3: I mean, now I have a whole year.
- 15:07Speaker 2: You failed me. You failed me.
- 15:08Speaker 3: Well, I did.
- 15:09Speaker 8: I did.
- 15:09Speaker 3: I did fail you, but.
- 15:11Speaker 1: All you had to do was send in the video
- 15:12Speaker 1: from Gay Pride, me on the iHeart float.
- 15:16Speaker 2: I stole the show, dancing the whole parade.
- 15:19Speaker 3: He's never going to forgive me, is he?
- 15:21Speaker 2: You Gandhi and Diamond Ufa. At least I'm in good company.
- 15:25Speaker 2: Here's the difference between me and Curtis. I would loathe.
- 15:30Speaker 2: Even being invited to be on Dancing with the Stars,
- 15:34Speaker 2: I think to myself, oh my God, if I sunk
- 15:36Speaker 2: that low, I wouldn't want to be on Dancing with
- 15:39Speaker 2: the Stars. Well, it's also a lot of work. It's
- 15:41Speaker 2: not a joke. I understand, and I suck at dancing, too.
- 15:44Speaker 2: That's the other thing. Well, you'd be gone fast. But
- 15:46Speaker 2: you would love it. Absolutely. Absolutely. So we're going to
- 15:51Speaker 2: give you an opportunity to recover.
- 15:54Speaker 1: Okay. And you can start working on it today and
- 15:57Speaker 1: then join up with Gandhi and Diamond and figure it
- 15:59Speaker 1: out between you and them. Hopefully, you'll get me into
- 16:03Speaker 1: next season.
- 16:04Speaker 2: You got it. I love how he assigns people to jobs.
- 16:07Speaker 2: I know. And then you don't do anything. Because then
- 16:12Speaker 2: it's better for the bit a little bit later, right?
- 16:14Speaker 3: That's true.
- 16:15Speaker 1: Okay.
- 16:16Speaker 2: There you go.
- 16:17Speaker 1: So don't count on that. No, of course not. They're
- 16:19Speaker 1: not going to deliver. They sell me wolf tickets. They're
- 16:22Speaker 1: like all the people who tell me in the streets,
- 16:24Speaker 1: I voted for you, I.
- 16:25Speaker 2: Voted for you, I voted for you. If all of
- 16:27Speaker 2: you voted for me, I would have been mayor of
- 16:29Speaker 2: the city of New York.
- 16:31Speaker 4: Curtis, if you were on Dancing with the Stars, you
- 16:34Speaker 4: were with a bunch of nobodies. You wanted to be
- 16:36Speaker 4: with a better cast.
- 16:37Speaker 2: Oh, stop. Stop this. Stop glazing me. Stop glazing me.
- 16:44Speaker 3: I'm totally glazing you.
- 16:46Speaker 2: Maybe we can get him in Summer House.
- 16:48Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
- 16:50Speaker 3: Or The Mormon Wives.
- 16:52Speaker 2: Oh, knowing you, The Outhouse, right?
- 16:54Speaker 1: Oh, Curtis Lee was starring in The Outhouse as he
- 16:57Speaker 1: talks about his choice of toilet paper.
- 16:59Speaker 4: You know what?
- 16:59Speaker 3: That might have been a better pick for you.
- 17:01Speaker 2: Actually, I won.
- 17:04Speaker 4: I want people to call in or leave a talkback.
- 17:09Speaker 4: What reality show could you see Curtis.
- 17:11Speaker 2: And Larry on? No, don't put me in this. I'm
- 17:14Speaker 2: out of this completely.
- 17:15Speaker 6: Oh, no.
- 17:16Speaker 2: You're a joint. No, no, no. You're together forever. Oh, no, no, no. Consummated,
- 17:20Speaker 2: you remember? All right. Great time for the talkbacks. Forget
- 17:24Speaker 2: about it, Larry. You know Curtis knows where all the
- 17:27Speaker 2: bones are buried. That's right.
- 17:30Speaker 1: Jimmy Hoffa in the 55-gallon drum there, Jersey City, underneath
- 17:35Speaker 1: the Pulaski Skyway.
- 17:36Speaker 2: I know he loves conspiracies. I'm just some of them.
- 17:40Speaker 5: Curtis, I got a comment on the whole Jimmy Hoffa conspiracy.
- 17:45Speaker 5: There's one thing I never understood, and maybe you can
- 17:48Speaker 5: answer this question. If it was a Detroit hit, why
- 17:53Speaker 5: would they bring the body all the way back to Jersey?
- 17:56Speaker 5: Doesn't make sense to me.
- 17:57Speaker 2: That's the whole Fox News thing. They did an entire
- 18:00Speaker 2: special on it. They believe he's buried in Detroit. No way.
- 18:04Speaker 2: Who the hell would want to be buried in Detroit?
- 18:06Speaker 2: I mean, think about it. They believed it so much,
- 18:10Speaker 2: they got an excavation truck to come in and dig up.
- 18:14Speaker 1: It's right there underneath the Pulaski Skyway, the ugliest bridge
- 18:18Speaker 1: ever built.
- 18:19Speaker 4: And this last talk back is basically for Curtis and
- 18:23Speaker 4: his trip to Pennsylvania today.
- 18:25Speaker 2: Hey, haven't you guys ever heard of technology? Type in
- 18:28Speaker 2: the address into Waze.
- 18:30Speaker 1: It'll tell you exactly which direction to go and what
- 18:33Speaker 1: time to leave in order for you to get to
- 18:34Speaker 1: your location on time.
- 18:36Speaker 2: Yeah, I use Waze every single day, I'm sure. Natalie,
- 18:40Speaker 2: do you use Waze every single day?
- 18:42Speaker 4: Well, I use Google Maps, and I will tell you,
- 18:43Speaker 4: for the past three days, it's been telling me the
- 18:45Speaker 4: Lincoln Tunnel is closed.
- 18:47Speaker 2: It is not closed, Google Maps! That's because you're not
- 18:50Speaker 2: using Waze. Waze is so much better. Waze is people
- 18:53Speaker 2: reporting at the scene. Waze is people telling them, no,
- 18:56Speaker 2: this is closed.
- 18:57Speaker 3: Well, I didn't listen to it, so.
- 18:58Speaker 2: Yeah, Waze is how you have to go. And Curtis is...
- 19:01Speaker 2: Do you have a cell phone? Do I have a
- 19:05Speaker 2: cell phone?
- 19:06Speaker 4: Yes!
- 19:07Speaker 2: Now let's get the news at 630 with Daria Alvinger.
- 19:13Speaker 1: Daria.
- 19:13Speaker 7: So it's not a reality show, but I think The
- 19:15Speaker 7: Odd Couple is the obvious one for the two of them, right?
- 19:19Speaker 1: Well, true.
- 19:19Speaker 3: Very true.
- 19:20Speaker 7: You know, I think that works. Well, the big Labor
- 19:23Speaker 7: Day getaway is here, whether you're going to Pennsylvania like
- 19:25Speaker 7: Larry is, whether you're going out to the island like
- 19:27Speaker 7: I am tomorrow. The AAA is predicting that this is
- 19:30Speaker 7: going to be the busiest one in 15 years, so
- 19:32Speaker 7: you're going to have plenty of company, whether you're driving
- 19:34Speaker 7: or flying.
- 19:35Speaker 2: If you're leaving today.
- 19:36Speaker 7: Go as early as you can, and on your way home,
- 19:39Speaker 7: if you return Sunday instead of Monday, it'll also help
- 19:42Speaker 7: you beat the crowds. You will be paying more for
- 19:44Speaker 7: gas this year than we did last Labor Day weekend,
- 19:47Speaker 7: and it was a main focus of the first White
- 19:49Speaker 7: House briefing. since July 23rd, and it was held by
- 19:53Speaker 7: Vice President Vance.
- 19:54Speaker 8: He was asked if the Trump administration should be blamed
- 19:56Speaker 8: for rising gas prices. That led him to point the
- 19:59Speaker 8: finger at Iran for shooting at oil tankers in the
- 20:02Speaker 8: Strait of Hormuz.
- 20:03Speaker 9: The reason gas prices are so high right now is
- 20:07Speaker 9: because the Iranians are shooting at commercial shipping. Even, by
- 20:10Speaker 9: the way, when they signed an agreement that said, we're
- 20:12Speaker 9: going to stop shooting at commercial shipping, they almost immediately
- 20:16Speaker 9: went back to shooting at commercial shipping.
- 20:18Speaker 8: And said that U.S. gas prices are lower than in
- 20:20Speaker 8: the rest of the world. The VP also said our
- 20:23Speaker 8: European allies could do more to help deal with Iran.
- 20:26Speaker 8: He said the U.S. naval patrols in the Strait have
- 20:28Speaker 8: stopped a potential worldwide energy crisis.
- 20:31Speaker 2: I'm Tammy Trujillo.
- 20:32Speaker 7: In Brooklyn, two men are under arrest accused in a
- 20:35Speaker 7: crash and a fight with a horror film finish.
- 20:38Speaker 10: It started with a crash at Shepherd and New Lots
- 20:41Speaker 10: Avenues in East New York around 11 a.m. The Daily
- 20:44Speaker 10: News says a 47-year-old man crashed into the car of
- 20:47Speaker 10: a 46-year-old man. The driver then got out and stabbed
- 20:51Speaker 10: the other man in the stomach. The paper says that
- 20:54Speaker 10: man then chased the driver three blocks, caught him, beat him,
- 20:58Speaker 10: then gouged his eye out before collapsing in the street
- 21:01Speaker 10: a few steps away. Witnesses described the man's screams. Both
- 21:05Speaker 10: were hospitalized. Both are stable. Charges against the two are pending.
- 21:10Speaker 10: Andrew Whitman, WOR News.
- 21:12Speaker 7: Horizon Organic Dairy is recalling more than 53,000 cases of
- 21:16Speaker 7: chocolate milk. The FDA warns that it could be spoiled.
- 21:20Speaker 2: No local baseball last night.
- 21:21Speaker 7: The Mets will host the Giants at Citi Field tonight,
- 21:23Speaker 7: and the Yankees will be in San Diego late tonight.
- 21:26Speaker 7: Next news, 7 o'clock bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger
- 21:29Speaker 7: on 710 WOR.
- 21:31Speaker 1: Oh, Maria Bartiromo, released by Fox News unexpectedly yesterday. That's
- 21:36Speaker 1: three programs a week she does. And the president late
- 21:40Speaker 1: last night responded, oh, there are going to be a
- 21:43Speaker 1: lot of unhappy people over this. We'll do a deep
- 21:47Speaker 1: dive on that up next. You know, this was a
- 21:55Speaker 1: scene for you, Larry.
- 21:57Speaker 2: You go out to the pay telephone.
- 22:00Speaker 1: You call up Fox News Channel and you say, what
- 22:03Speaker 1: happened to my very dear friend Maria Bartiromo? And they say,
- 22:07Speaker 1: there's nothing you can do.
- 22:09Speaker 2: She's gone.
- 22:10Speaker 1: She's gone.
- 22:10Speaker 2: And you say, well, what?
- 22:11Speaker 10: What?
- 22:12Speaker 2: Nothing you can do. Gone.
- 22:13Speaker 1: That's how quick this information came down the pipe yesterday.
- 22:19Speaker 1: She had just finished her morning show. She did three
- 22:21Speaker 1: shows a week for Fox News Channel. I would say
- 22:24Speaker 1: for a select audience, they were looking for the heavy hitters,
- 22:27Speaker 1: the whales out there, you know, people in finance, people
- 22:30Speaker 1: who had equity. It's not like it was going to
- 22:33Speaker 1: be the ratings leader of all of Fox News, but
- 22:35Speaker 1: it had a very select audience. And out of nowhere,
- 22:40Speaker 1: They let her go. And she has not responded. But
- 22:42Speaker 1: the president of the United States, who must have been
- 22:45Speaker 1: just as surprised that all of us put out a
- 22:48Speaker 1: truth social last night, was very disturbed and said, there's
- 22:53Speaker 1: going to be a lot of angry people who watch
- 22:57Speaker 1: who want to have answers. And I think I know
- 23:00Speaker 1: what it was, but, boy, this is a woman with
- 23:03Speaker 1: a tremendous history in broadcasting. And like Natalie, who was
- 23:07Speaker 1: an intern for Barry Farber, that's how she broke into
- 23:11Speaker 1: the business. She was an intern at WMCA when our
- 23:15Speaker 1: own guy, Mark Simone, was over there. And she was
- 23:21Speaker 1: Barry Farber's intern, and he recommended to her, you really
- 23:24Speaker 1: got talent. You need to branch out into TV and
- 23:26Speaker 1: other forms of entertainment. And that's what she did, a
- 23:29Speaker 1: Brooklyn girl.
- 23:29Speaker 2: Great story.
- 23:31Speaker 1: Went to Fon Fon, all-girls high school, Rex Manor, owned
- 23:34Speaker 1: by her daddy and mommy. She was a hat-check girl,
- 23:37Speaker 1: worked at OTB. So we're not talking about, you know,
- 23:40Speaker 1: a smooth, easy ride. And she was the first, remember,
- 23:43Speaker 1: to ever do updates from the floor of the New
- 23:46Speaker 1: York Stock Exchange.
- 23:48Speaker 2: That's how she became.
- 23:50Speaker 1: famous and then over at CNBC and then brought over
- 23:53Speaker 1: to Fox Business Channel and nobody expected this.
- 23:56Speaker 2: No, nobody expected it because they were even surprised at
- 23:59Speaker 2: Fox News and we can tell you that we know
- 24:02Speaker 2: that for a fact because Peter Doocy asked J.D. Vance
- 24:07Speaker 2: about it yesterday and there is speculation right now that
- 24:12Speaker 2: she will become the new press secretary and so Peter
- 24:16Speaker 2: Doocy from Fox News asked J.D. Vance, the vice president,
- 24:22Speaker 2: filling in for the outgoing press secretary, if that is true. No,
- 24:27Speaker 2: I don't think so.
- 24:28Speaker 9: You know, I just saw the news literally as I
- 24:30Speaker 9: walked out before.
- 24:31Speaker 2: I love Maria. I think she's an amazing person, amazing talent.
- 24:34Speaker 9: I don't get involved in the personal drama of media stations.
- 24:38Speaker 9: In fact, I'd like to invite Peter Doocy to come
- 24:40Speaker 9: up here and answer a question about what happened to Maria.
- 24:43Speaker 9: But I think whatever she does, look, she's going to
- 24:47Speaker 9: do great, and I wish her all the best.
- 24:49Speaker 2: She's a very, very dear friend.
- 24:50Speaker 9: I haven't even talked to her, so I don't know
- 24:52Speaker 9: the backstory about why she's decided to leave Fox News.
- 24:55Speaker 2: Well, she didn't decide to leave, according to Status, which
- 24:59Speaker 2: is an online site. Status got information that she was
- 25:04Speaker 2: let go. In a brief statement, Fox News said, we
- 25:07Speaker 2: thank Maria for her work over the past 12 and
- 25:10Speaker 2: a half years and wish her all the best on
- 25:13Speaker 2: her next chapter. Status is a media watchdog site. And
- 25:19Speaker 2: they say, that after Trump gave a speech in July
- 25:24Speaker 2: about election interference, Fox Business officials ordered the network top
- 25:30Speaker 2: stars to stay clear of all Trump's unsubstantiated claims about
- 25:37Speaker 2: election interference. That is from the memo itself. Several outlets
- 25:43Speaker 2: noted that Fox gave little airtime to Trump's speech in
- 25:46Speaker 2: the hours and days that followed that speech. But Bartiromo
- 25:50Speaker 2: is accused of linking that company directive to the White House.
- 25:56Speaker 2: This is according to Status again. It's unclear if she
- 25:59Speaker 2: reached out first or if the Trump team made the request.
- 26:03Speaker 2: They don't know how it happened, but they have been
- 26:05Speaker 2: able to track down after all these years that it
- 26:08Speaker 2: was her that leaked that memo. By the way, here's
- 26:11Speaker 2: a little sample of Trump's speech.
- 26:14Speaker 6: This is election interference. They made up a fake case.
- 26:19Speaker 6: They're fraudulent people. And the judge already knows.
- 26:22Speaker 8: What he's going to do.
- 26:23Speaker 6: He's a Democrat judge. In all fairness to him, he
- 26:26Speaker 6: has no choice. He has no choice. He's run by
- 26:29Speaker 6: the Democrats. I know this city better than anybody knows
- 26:32Speaker 6: this city. There's nobody knows it like I do.
- 26:35Speaker 2: Yeah, he was upset. The ruling had just came down
- 26:38Speaker 2: and he was upset, Curtis. And I guess he said
- 26:41Speaker 2: some things that made Fox and even Fox News go,
- 26:45Speaker 2: let's stay away from this.
- 26:46Speaker 1: Look at Rupert Murdoch and his son Lachlan who run it.
- 26:49Speaker 1: They had to pay out a billion dollars in a
- 26:51Speaker 1: settlement with Smartmatic and Dominion, remember? And because they had
- 26:56Speaker 1: notes from Marie Bartolome at that time, Janine Pirro, Lou Dobbs,
- 27:00Speaker 1: no longer alive. in which they were promoting that, you know,
- 27:04Speaker 1: election interference. The reason, you know why they had to settle?
- 27:07Speaker 1: It all comes back to Tucker Carlson. Because when he
- 27:10Speaker 1: was deposed, when they went through his texts and his emails,
- 27:16Speaker 1: he was saying, oh, everybody knew that was BS at Fox,
- 27:19Speaker 1: that there was no election interference. So when the Murdochs
- 27:23Speaker 1: are confronted with that, that they're going to put Tucker
- 27:25Speaker 1: Carlson on the stand and cross-examine, settle.
- 27:29Speaker 10: Settle.
- 27:29Speaker 2: Settle. That's it.
- 27:31Speaker 10: Settle.
- 27:32Speaker 1: So they didn't want to have this again. I went
- 27:34Speaker 1: through this to a small degree over at WABC. Remember,
- 27:38Speaker 1: Rudy Giuliani was fired by WABC because of the Smartmatic
- 27:42Speaker 1: and the Dominion case and the fear that they could
- 27:45Speaker 1: make billions of dollars from whatever company they were speaking at.
- 27:49Speaker 2: So I believe.
- 27:51Speaker 1: That the last loyal woman standing for Trump, because Janine
- 27:54Speaker 1: is now U.S. attorney in D.C. Lou Dobbs passed away.
- 27:59Speaker 1: Marie Bartiromo probably informed Trump that going into this two-day
- 28:04Speaker 1: convention in Dallas, they've been told, if you talk about
- 28:07Speaker 1: election interference, we're not permitted to cover it. And I
- 28:11Speaker 1: think they felt you crossed the line.
- 28:13Speaker 2: You got to go. Yeah, I will tell you this.
- 28:15Speaker 2: I think Maria Bartiromo is going to be the next
- 28:18Speaker 2: press secretary. And look, I'm not going to claim that
- 28:20Speaker 2: I know Maria Bartiromo, but I talked to her every
- 28:23Speaker 2: week for three years. And it was because, you know
- 28:26Speaker 2: how they set up for like, especially in the top
- 28:28Speaker 2: five markets, they set up the network people to talk
- 28:33Speaker 2: to the top five, the news departments in the top five.
- 28:35Speaker 2: I did a Sunday morning show and she was in
- 28:37Speaker 2: on Sunday mornings and we had her on every week.
- 28:41Speaker 2: And she was the sweetest. They're not all. She was
- 28:45Speaker 2: the sweetest. She stood out humble. She always asked if
- 28:49Speaker 2: we needed to do it again. Did I make any mistakes?
- 28:52Speaker 2: Because we did a pre-tape with her. And she would
- 28:55Speaker 2: tell stories. She would tell stories about what was happening there.
- 28:57Speaker 2: She always asked about my family. I mean, she was
- 29:01Speaker 2: maybe the sweetest of the network stars that I ran into.
- 29:05Speaker 2: Her and Al Roker were the two that I thought
- 29:08Speaker 2: were just sweethearts. Yeah, no, I concur.
- 29:09Speaker 1: I did quite a few interviews with Marie Bartiromo, especially
- 29:12Speaker 1: in this last mayoral election cycle. Couldn't be nicer. She
- 29:16Speaker 1: was Brooklyn through and through and very proud of it.
- 29:18Speaker 2: Yeah, so I wouldn't be surprised if that is announced.
- 29:22Speaker 2: I mean, I know there's been a lot of names
- 29:24Speaker 2: bandied about, but my feeling is she might have just
- 29:28Speaker 2: risen to the top of the heap because when Donald
- 29:31Speaker 2: Trump feels like you've been loyal and when Donald Trump
- 29:34Speaker 2: feels like he owes you, as you've seen in his administration,
- 29:38Speaker 2: you mentioned Jeanine Pirro. Right. in his administration, that happens
- 29:41Speaker 2: a lot. Hey, guess what? Curtis's favorite prediction markets, Polymarket
- 29:48Speaker 2: and Kaoshi, they're in some trouble, not only across the
- 29:52Speaker 2: country because of lawsuits, but they're going to be Bend,
- 29:57Speaker 2: for the time being, in New Jersey. We'll explain why
- 30:01Speaker 2: when we come back. There are two major prediction markets.
- 30:07Speaker 2: And let's get this straight. It's not betting. It's not gambling.
- 30:11Speaker 2: These are solely prediction markets. It's gambling. It's a prediction market.
- 30:17Speaker 2: They're the ones that say it. And that's what the
- 30:20Speaker 2: law says. It's a prediction market. Now, you can make
- 30:24Speaker 2: money on your predictions. which is sort of like gambling, right?
- 30:28Speaker 2: It's kind of the same thing. Absolutely. You predict something
- 30:32Speaker 2: and then you, but there's no house that sets the odds.
- 30:36Speaker 2: You set the odds. It all depends on how people vote.
- 30:40Speaker 2: If people are voting one way, the odds are going
- 30:43Speaker 2: to go against them because more people are voting a
- 30:45Speaker 2: certain way. And so because of that, they have been
- 30:49Speaker 2: able to skate around state laws on taxation. Because they
- 30:55Speaker 2: don't fall– if you look at the legislation, it says
- 30:59Speaker 2: gambling sites. And they say we're not a gambling site.
- 31:02Speaker 2: Who knew that you could just call yourself something different
- 31:06Speaker 2: and then you could get away with things? How many
- 31:10Speaker 2: other crimes would that work for? No guardrails nowadays.
- 31:14Speaker 1: There's no guardrails. You can be whatever you want to be.
- 31:17Speaker 1: As long as people are interested in getting involved in betting,
- 31:20Speaker 1: that's all they care about.
- 31:21Speaker 2: So there's been several states, there's a lot of states
- 31:24Speaker 2: across the country that have now gone after Kaoshi with
- 31:27Speaker 2: lawsuits and trying to get legislation through. Three states, including
- 31:34Speaker 2: New Jersey, have a moratorium on it, but they've taken
- 31:37Speaker 2: it a step further now. The New Jersey Attorney General,
- 31:41Speaker 2: Jennifer Davenport, has asked the Supreme Court to overturn a
- 31:47Speaker 2: lower appellate court ruling that sided with Kalshi and the
- 31:51Speaker 2: Pali markets and clarify whether states retain the power to
- 31:57Speaker 2: regulate the sports betting host sites and prediction market platforms. Now,
- 32:02Speaker 2: you know all the other ones, right? You know, FanDuel
- 32:06Speaker 2: and Caesars. There's a lot of them. There's a lot
- 32:08Speaker 2: of betting sites out there. Sports betting became legal and
- 32:12Speaker 2: it's spread across the country. And around the world. And
- 32:16Speaker 2: my feeling is it ruined at least TV sports. Because
- 32:20Speaker 2: now constantly you get these betting sites.
- 32:23Speaker 1: Can we blame El Jefe, Chris Christie for this?
- 32:26Speaker 2: Remember, he's the one who pushed it through.
- 32:28Speaker 1: He fought it all the way to the United States
- 32:31Speaker 1: Supreme Court and won.
- 32:32Speaker 2: Shamu, El Jefe, Chris Christie. Yeah, there was a lot
- 32:36Speaker 2: of money behind this. And they did get a Supreme
- 32:39Speaker 2: Court ruling saying, yeah, it was possible. But listen, the states...
- 32:44Speaker 2: can't complain about it. The states have made hundreds of
- 32:49Speaker 2: billions of dollars across the country on taxing these gambling sites. So,
- 32:55Speaker 2: Cauchy and Polymarket have been able to maneuver around that. Listen,
- 32:59Speaker 2: they're going to lose this. There's no question because everybody
- 33:03Speaker 2: knows it's a gambling site. I mean, I use them both.
- 33:06Speaker 2: I know it's a gambling site. I think it's pretty
- 33:09Speaker 2: cool that you can get odds based on what people
- 33:12Speaker 2: think because, you know, a lot of people are stupid.
- 33:15Speaker 2: And so you get to bet against them instead of
- 33:18Speaker 2: betting against the house and professionals. That set the odds. Now, interesting.
- 33:22Speaker 2: Have inside information.
- 33:23Speaker 1: Before all the states started ganging up on them, Kalshi
- 33:26Speaker 1: actually gave information against Polymarket, its competitor, in one of
- 33:31Speaker 1: these lawsuits.
- 33:33Speaker 2: Just to try to take them out. So you can see.
- 33:36Speaker 1: Now, I'll give you a little bit of an update
- 33:38Speaker 1: because everybody is into these prediction markets now. You know,
- 33:42Speaker 1: smaller prediction markets are emerging. So a prediction market called Manifold.
- 33:49Speaker 1: put out a prediction market, although it's a gambling site also,
- 33:55Speaker 1: on who would win the mayoral election in 2029, right?
- 34:00Speaker 2: The mayor hasn't even been there a year yet. They
- 34:02Speaker 2: already have a prediction market.
- 34:05Speaker 1: And the way I learned about this was you got
- 34:07Speaker 1: that guy over at WABC, Greg.
- 34:09Speaker 2: Kelly, right? Who went all berserk, went nuts.
- 34:12Speaker 1: Said, I'm going to do everything I can to get
- 34:14Speaker 1: Curtis Lee out of the Republican Party.
- 34:16Speaker 2: This guy's going to run again.
- 34:17Speaker 1: Look at this. 14% Zoran Mondami, 14% Curtis Lee, 3%
- 34:24Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo, 3% Jessica Tisch.
- 34:27Speaker 2: Oh, this is the gambling market? Yeah, manifold.
- 34:29Speaker 5: Now look.
- 34:30Speaker 1: Most of the people said, don't you think this is
- 34:32Speaker 1: a little too early to be doing a prediction market,
- 34:35Speaker 1: a betting market? So he's going crazy on his show.
- 34:38Speaker 1: By the way, Greg Kelly, son of Ray Kelly. I
- 34:42Speaker 1: know Ray Kelly, great police commissioner. Greg Kelly is no
- 34:45Speaker 1: Ray Kelly, that's for sure. So the guy's railing. I'm
- 34:49Speaker 1: getting him out of the Republican Party. I'm kicking him out.
- 34:53Speaker 1: And I said, I'll bet you this guy is not
- 34:55Speaker 1: even a Republican. So what do you think? Because everybody
- 34:58Speaker 1: is listed on the voting rolls as being either a Democrat, Republican,
- 35:03Speaker 1: some form of an independent party, or a blank.
- 35:07Speaker 2: He's an independent.
- 35:09Speaker 1: So the independent guy is going to lobby to kick me,
- 35:12Speaker 1: a real Republican, out of the Republican Party, which basically
- 35:16Speaker 1: you can't do. Nobody keeps roles. You can't be rejected.
- 35:20Speaker 1: You go to your voting location and you say, no, no,
- 35:24Speaker 1: I'm a Republican. I'm a Democrat. I'm a libertarian. Whatever
- 35:26Speaker 1: your party choice, I'm an independent.
- 35:29Speaker 2: So what an idiot. But then again.
- 35:33Speaker 1: It's almost like Andrew Evil Eyes Cuomo with Mario Cuomo.
- 35:36Speaker 1: You know, I had a great relationship with Mario Cuomo,
- 35:39Speaker 1: great relationship with Ray Kelly. But I can tell you,
- 35:41Speaker 1: both of their sons know Mario Cuomo. No Ray Kelly. Hey,
- 35:46Speaker 1: Greg Kelly, you idiot. Maybe you ought to register as
- 35:50Speaker 1: a Republican before you start talking about who you're going
- 35:53Speaker 1: to kick out of the Republican Party.
- 35:55Speaker 2: And it's all based on this manifold poll. That's a riot.
- 35:58Speaker 2: A prediction which is impossible.
- 36:00Speaker 1: The next mayoral election isn't until 2029.
- 36:04Speaker 2: Well, me and all the other degenerate gamblers out there,
- 36:07Speaker 2: the only thing we heard is, oh, there's another site. Exactly.
- 36:11Speaker 2: Matter of fact, I'm going to have to check that out. Natalie,
- 36:13Speaker 2: could you trace it to make sure he's not betting
- 36:15Speaker 2: on this already? God, there's betting on everything. When we
- 36:20Speaker 2: come back, well, of course, we're going to talk about
- 36:22Speaker 2: the Lindsay Clancy trial. Who knew it was 11 to
- 36:26Speaker 2: 1 and there's one holdout? We'll talk more about that
- 36:30Speaker 2: coming up.
