  Speaker 2: is ready and able to But the quiet storm and
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: rarely says anything. Chris, on loan from the Mark Simone Show.

  Speaker 2: This is amazing.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: You're with us again. I'm with you again. Good morning.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Good morning. Yeah.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: What's on your mind today?
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: Nothing.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: It's Friday, so there's not much coasting.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: I'm always going, oh, man, this guy is like, you're
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: so bland. If we had to depend on you, we'd
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: all have to go out and get jobs hanging wallpaper.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Do you realize you're devoid of any personality?
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm aware. It's been like that my whole life.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I'm aware. You're okay with it, right?
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: Eh.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, what am I going to do?
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I'm 29. I can't really change it. Oh, yes, you can.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Grab hold of your life. Make some major changes. Come on,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: let's start right now. So go ahead. Tell us what
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: you think is the biggest issue in the country right now.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Throw me on the spot. I think I'll pass on
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: that one. Look at that, see?
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: And you're involved in talk radio. Did you ever hear that?
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I'll take a pass on that. Boy, you're like Dr.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Fauci.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: You take the Fifth Amendment on everything. But anyway, Larry,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: you know what took place yesterday. Oh, man, the lead
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: story of almost every local newscast was the passage of
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: the bill that eliminates the horse carriage industry in 2028. Now,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: the opposition, John Samuelson of TWU, local 100, you know,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: we're going to sue, we're going to federal court. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, windbag.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: But it's pretty much a fait accompli. And I know
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: there was a lot of interest in terms of how
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I would be treated.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: But I'm not telling you right now. Okay.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I'm going to keep you all wondering. Well, I was
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: watching the local newscast just to see you. Because you
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: said yesterday, if they don't treat me well, I'm going
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: to make a ruckus.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Yes. Like if they don't acknowledge you and if they
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: don't let you inside, you're going to make a ruckus.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I love that word, by the way, ruckus. And so
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I was looking on television for the ruckus. I'm thinking
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to myself, oh, my God, this is going to be great. And,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: you know, I always deliver on those kind of promises.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I know, and I don't want to give away too much,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: but apparently you didn't have to.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Well, let's just tell you that my wife was with me, Nancy,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: because obviously she's involved in animal welfare and protecting the horses,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: free the horses. And she said to me at the start,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: you know, Curtis, I've been with you at a lot
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: of events. I've never seen you more mistreated. And that's
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: saying a lot in 10 years of our relationship.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: It was not a good start. But, you know, right now,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to talk about it because there is
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: something that is more of a disgracia and a shanda
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: than even this. In my household, in so many households,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Friday was pizza day. You know, whether your mom or
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: dad got a frozen pizza or you went to local
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: mom and pop pizzeria, now they have all these cardboard
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: cutouts You know, franchise pizzas, which, well, I guess if
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: you're going to do it, you're going to do it.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: But it always was a tradition. Friday was the big
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: pizza day. And one thing I felt, there was a
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: recent poll, and normally when they do polls about pizzerias
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: and even like Portnoy has said, One of his attributes
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: is he goes around testing pizzas at pizzerias.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: People love it. Yeah, he can make or break a place.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's my favorite food. So I'm looking at this
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: recent list. Okay, they have New York City first.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Jersey second.
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And then I said, well, where's Connecticut?
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: 16th.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: And I'm saying to myself, what? And I'm looking, Texas, Missouri, Oregon.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: You don't go there for pizza. We're rated ahead of them.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: 16th.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Now, for many of our listeners, they know when you
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: cross over from the New York State border, as I
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: have many times going in in Connecticut, right along I-95,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: entering Greenwich, you know, very trendy Greenwich from New York.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: There's a big sign that says, welcome to Connecticut, home
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: of the pizza capital of the USA. And likewise on
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I-84 when you're entering Danbury from New York. They've earned that.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they have that. They have that ultra thin coal
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: or brick oven pizza. Yes. What do they call it?
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: There's a name for it.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Abitz. Napolitano.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Abitz. Yeah, exactly. Abitz, yeah.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Here's a German-Irish guy correcting me. That is
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: the correct pronunciation. Thank you for that. But if you've
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: ever been to Little Italy in New Haven, it's right
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: before you hit the interstate. There is a place, Worcester
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Street in Worcester Square. They got like the three pillars
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: of some of the best pizza in the world. And
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I've had it all over the world, especially in Italy itself. And,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're not even rated Connecticut. There's Frank Pepe's
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Pizzeria Napolitano. There's Sally's, what is that you say, a pizza?
• 5:31
  Speaker 8: Abitz.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Abitz.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: And modern, Abitz.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Those are just three.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Of the many.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Connecticut is rated 16th. So I said, who did this survey? Because,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: you know, these are like polls. There were these instant
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: pop-up surveys. A survey by Maine Lobster.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Laughter.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Now, I understand that maybe Platner needs new work. You know,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: the oyster guy who got washed out in the Senate race.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: You know, lobsters. What the hell would you have a
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: site called Maine Lobster raiding pizzerias all throughout the country
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: from California to New York, from Texas, right on up
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: to Maine?
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Where was New Jersey on the list?
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: Two.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Number two. Which I accept. Absolutely. New York City.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: But always, and look, I'm the New York guy. You know,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: my favorite, I just did a barstool thing just on
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: food in the tri-state area. Stromboli's on First Avenue in St. Mark's,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: owned by the Albanians. Albanians, Montenegrins own most of the
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: pizzerias now. I lived on that for a year in
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the 80s. And then there's, oh, you got to be
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: careful here because it's, the pizzeria has competition. They all
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: have competitions. There's like battles all the time. The original
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: pizza on Avenue L. This is another original pizza on
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Ralph Avenue. Not the same. And today, my number three,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: New Park Pizzeria, which was the victim of pizza war.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: A van went right through this side on Cross Bay Boulevard.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: They're reopening today. That's part of the pizza wars. They
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: go to war against one another.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I love New Jersey pizza. There's a place in Edgewater
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: called Al's Sourdough Pizza. Oh, my God. It was the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: best pizza I ever had. I love sourdough bread, and
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I love sourdough. So, man, was that good. But I
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: have been to about four or five pizza places in
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: New Jersey that I would put in the top ten
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: of any list in the country. You're absolutely right, especially
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: along the shore. You find out a lot of those
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: pizzerias originally were in Newark. You know, North Ward, Newark,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Bloomfield Avenue, St. Lucie's, the Italian section, and actually as
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: their client's. Move to the Jersey Shore. They move their
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: business to the Jersey Shore. The one that's famous is Raza.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Raza in Jersey City. That's the one they talk about nationally. Look,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I love the pizza in New Jersey. I've never had
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: a bad slice there in New Jersey. But not to have.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, Connecticut and especially the little Italy there on
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Worcester Square, Worcester Street.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's incredible, the pizza there.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I've never had pizza in Connecticut. I've been to Connecticut
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: several times. I've just never had pizza there. But I've
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: heard people rave about it. And by the way, on
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: some lists, it was number one. So to be number
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: 16 is kind of ridiculous. Oh, come on.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Behind Wyoming, Idaho, you know, places that don't even know
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: what pizza is. But. How can people weigh in on
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: this fact of life here, which for many of us
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: is very important, Pizza Day on Friday?
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I would imagine everybody has a favorite pizza. And there's
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: probably some places that are incredible that we don't know about.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: So we'd love to hear from you. Go to the
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app and leave us a talkback. You could win
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: a Curtis Lewa and Larry Menti in the morning T-shirt.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: That is going to be awarded each day to our
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: favorite talkback of the morning. And while you're on the
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: free iHeartRadio app, this is really important. Be sure to
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: set a preset for 710WOR. It makes it easier for
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: you in the future. And don't forget, and today is
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the day, the best talk back of the week takes
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: home a C-Crane radio.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Now let me teach you a trick. You're paying attention, Chris.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: You're taking notes. You can do this at any local
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: mom and pop pizzeria. Friday is your busiest day. They
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: usually have some young Italian stallion, or they even have
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Mexicans now. It took me a while to get used
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: to Mexicans making pizza, but they're not too bad. So
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: they're twirling it up, and all the girls are looking.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: So I walk in Friday about 5, 6 o'clock. You know,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: that's when they're busiest. And I said, hey, Salvin Jens,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: do me a favor. I got no time here. Just
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: take that sliced pizza. You know, they keep it in
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: trays underneath because they just use it. I don't want
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: you to warm it up in the oven. Here's 20
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: for the pie, and I'll give you another 10 because
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: you're going out of your way for me. Just put
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: it in the box.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I got to go. Sorry, Mr.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Sliwa, I can't do that. What do you mean? I'm
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: a good customer. You see me from time to time.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I know, Mr.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Sliwa, but I can't do that. What do you mean
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: you can't do it? Just take the sliced pie. You
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: don't even have to heat it up. Here's 20 for
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: the pie, 10 for you. Put it in the box.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I got to go. Can't do that. And you know why,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Chris and Larry? Because for years they used technology. They
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: told us you get more value with a box pie.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: You know, they'll make a whole pie for you, put
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: it in the box. Hey, you get more value than
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: the slice. Turns out the slice pie is bigger. So
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: if they were to take the slice pie and put
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: it in the box, they can't close the box because
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: it's flapping over on the sides. So I got to
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: tell you, whether they're Montenegrins, they're Albanians, or they're crazed Italians,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: you know, like Mr. Bacigalup from the old Abbott and
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Costello show, they go nuts on me. They say, why
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: are you giving away our trade secrets?
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Now they have those boxes that are fit for slices.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Have you seen them? They had little boxes that are triangles.
• 11:10
  Speaker 9: Mm-hmm.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Thanks for agreeing, Chris. That was very good. That was excellent.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it. That's amazing, Chris.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: I'm actually waiting on that.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: He said, uh-huh. Which was wonderful.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, my wife, Nancy, all Polish, right?
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: To get through Stony Brook because she didn't come from
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: a family of wealth. She had to make 400 pizzas
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: a day for the kids. Oh, that's wonderful. But remember,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: starting out overnight, you got to put the yeast in,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: the dough's got to raise, you got to pound it,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: you got to throw it in the air. Naturally, you
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: got all kinds of baking paraphernalia all over you. It's
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: 400 a day and you're all Polish and you know
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: how to make pizza?
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, when we come back, you know
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: how there's some actors that never get the starring roles,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: but you know them and you love them. And every
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: time you see them, you go, he's good. Well, one
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: of them died. Tom Skerritt, an incredible actor. If the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: name doesn't jump out to you, we'll go through some
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: of his roles and you're going to know who he is.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about that. Plus, You got a chance to
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: see Journey at age 25. Ah, we lost a great actor.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Actor Tom Skerritt has died at the age of 93. Now,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: if you're saying who, well, you're going to know him.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: From Alien, remember he was the commander in Alien, on
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Top Gun, Picket Fences. The Picket Fences was when, I
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: think that was one of his few lead roles. in
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the series Picket Fences. But I think he's best known
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: as Commander Mike Viper Metcalf. Remember Viper in Top Gun?
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: He was the guy that was overseeing all the Top
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Gun candidates, and he saw something special in Maverick, Tom
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Cruise's character. Now, this is the scene I'm going to
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: play for you at the end of the movie, near
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: the end of the movie. This is after Goose dies,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: and Maverick, Tom Cruise's character takes responsibility for that. He
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: thinks it was his fault. And he's talking about either
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: moving on or quitting. And he really believes he's going
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: to quit. And he talks to Tom Skerritt about it.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: So you think I should quit?
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I didn't say that.
• 13:32
  Speaker 10: The simple fact is you feel responsible for Goose.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: And you have a confidence problem.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Now, I'm not going to sit here and blow sunshine
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: up your ass until A good pilot is compelled to
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: always evaluate what's happening so he can apply what he's learned.
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: Up there, we gotta push.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: It.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: That's our job.
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: It's your option, Lieutenant.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: All yours. It was a great scene. It was one
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: of the pinnacle scenes in the movie when he had
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: to decide what he was going to do. Tom Skerritt
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: went on to talk about a time when he had
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: a similar situation in his career and how he moved on.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: But Tom Skerritt, when you look at him, you think
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: of an authoritative figure. That's almost all the roles he
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: played was as an authoritative figure anyway. Tom Skerritt now
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: dead at the age of 93.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: So when we talk to our movie reviewer, Joe Neumeyer,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: In the 8 o'clock hour, is he going to sit
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: shiver for his passing? Let me see this. Viper and
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Top Gun. Okay, I remember that. Captain and the Alien. M.A.S.H.,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Steel Magnolias. The guy was in some of the biggest
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: box office matches of all time.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: And never the lead. That's what's amazing. Picket Fences he
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: was a lead in. But a very handsome man. He
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: was a very handsome man, and he was an authoritative figure,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: and you could rely on him. All the things you
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: read about. He came to the set prepared. He knew
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: what the character was. The directors didn't have to pay,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: which is what directors love. Actors that you don't have
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: to spend a lot of time with, especially when they're
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: not the leads.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Now let's get some talkbacks. You want to talk about
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: what else? Pizza.
• 15:17
  Speaker 11: Good morning, Larry and Curtis. Thank you, Curtis, because Worcester
• 15:19
  Speaker 11: Street is the home of a coal-fired pizza. And Sal
• 15:24
  Speaker 11: and Flo, the original owners of Sally's, is the best
• 15:27
  Speaker 11: pizza in the world. And Frank Pepe down the street,
• 15:30
  Speaker 11: which his family is known for the clam pie. Great
• 15:33
  Speaker 11: to hear that.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Have a great weekend, everybody.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, see, I haven't been to Sally's in Worcester Square,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Worcester Street. He's right. Next time I'm there. It's the
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: one I haven't been to. But notice how he's a
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: cognoscente right away.
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: How do you leave off Connecticut of the list of
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: having the best pizzerias in the country and then rate
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: them 16th?
• 15:56
  Speaker 12: Maine's got a sandy crotch about Connecticut because Connecticut eats
• 15:59
  Speaker 12: their lobster hot with butter.
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: Now, Maine.
• 16:04
  Speaker 12: You know, they're salad people. They put the mayonnaise and
• 16:07
  Speaker 12: all that crap on it. So that's the problem. That's
• 16:10
  Speaker 12: why we're 16th in their heart.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Now, hold on a second. I've never heard that term.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: They've got a sandy crotch. That is so perfect. That's
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: a perfect term.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: But speaking of mayonnaise, there was a time you went
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: into a deli, am I correct there, Mr. Irish German,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: when you wanted what? Was it mayonnaise on a pastrami sandwich?
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: It was mayonnaise on everything. Mayonnaise is the best thing
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: ever invented. I used to eat mayonnaise sandwiches, just mayonnaise.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Mayonnaise sandwich. Oh, I loved it. I loved it. I
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: can take a scoop of mayonnaise tomorrow.
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: But that's so German.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: You know, mayonnaise.
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: German.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: You've stuck to your roots. I didn't even know it.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I just liked it.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: You didn't have mayonnaise on pizza, I hope.
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: No.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Like some have guacamole and they have pineapple. My God,
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: that's West Coast stuff. That pizza is the worst.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I've had pineapple on pizza and actually liked it.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: So I don't mean to add to your list. One
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: more on pizza.
• 17:15
  Speaker 13: I am distraught because the best margarita pizza or any
• 17:20
  Speaker 13: other pizza I ever have eaten was Mama Lena's. And
• 17:24
  Speaker 13: they just closed. Everyone that came to visit me, I
• 17:28
  Speaker 13: ordered a giant pizza, margherita, and any other kind, mushroom, pepperoni,
• 17:33
  Speaker 13: the works. Mama Lina's, where.
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: Did you go? Where did you go?
• 17:37
  Speaker 13: They were originally from Naples, Italiano.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Ah, Napolitano.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: That's where basically the pizza we're used to came from,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: the Naples area of Italy. It's hard now. With everything
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: going up, the cost of labor, everything up, it's very difficult.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Notice how a slice keeps going.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Up, up, and up.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: You say, well, from dough, cheese, and sauce, and I'm
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: paying like eight bucks here for a slice? The expenses
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: of running a small mom-and-pop pizzeria have skyrocketed.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: She's right, though. Margarita pizzas are the best pizza. I
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: love margarita pizzas. Now let's get to Daria Albinger with
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the 630 News. Good morning, Daria.
• 18:17
  Speaker 14: Good morning, guys. You ever got to New Haven to
• 18:18
  Speaker 14: get a slice of margarita pizza at Frank's-a-Pizza?
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: It's good. In Connecticut.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: In Connecticut, yeah.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: So you agree with me that, you know, they kept
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Connecticut off the list of the best pizzerias. And I said,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: all you got to do is go on Worcester Street,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Worcester Square, you get the.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Best pizza in the world.
• 18:34
  Speaker 15: You know what?
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: It's a little bit— it' s different.
• 18:36
  Speaker 14: I always said, you know, my husband and I fight
• 18:37
  Speaker 14: about this all the time because he's from Brooklyn— New
• 18:40
  Speaker 14: Haven pizza is different than New York pizza. Pizza is
• 18:43
  Speaker 14: good wherever, you know, well, not wherever it's from, but this.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Is really good.
• 18:46
  Speaker 15: It's worth the trip.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: You tell your husband he's from Brooklyn. I'm from Brooklyn.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: I prefer the New Haven pizza. I grew up on
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: pizza in Brooklyn.
• 18:54
  Speaker 14: I will tell him that, Curtis. If it comes from you,
• 18:56

  Speaker 14: in a carriage accident earlier this year in Central Park.
• 20:03
  Speaker 14: But not everyone is happy about this.
• 20:05
  Speaker 18: It's a tragedy for everybody in this business.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: It's a tragedy for the horses. It's a tragedy for
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: the city of New York. But that being said, we
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: are not done yet.
• 20:14

  Speaker 14: The Knicks are in Boston tonight. Next news, 7 o'clock,
• 20:44
  Speaker 14: bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: So now I'm going to reveal to you and Chris
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: up next, Natalie's away today. Exactly what transpired in that
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: historic vote to do away with the horse carriage industry. Larry,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: it started very bad. But wait till you hear what
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: transpired afterwards. So, Larry, Chris, when I went to City
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Hall yesterday with Nancy at my side for the public
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: rally in advance of this historic vote, it was in
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: City Hall Park, so anybody could get in. Although I
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: knew right away I could feel... that I was not
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: welcomed by the political leaders at all. The sergeant of arms,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: who was the security for city council, was out in force,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: and wherever.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I went, they went.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: And they're mad dogging me. They're eye fornicating me. So
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: you can feel the tension. And Nancy goes, I've been
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: at a lot of events with you. I've never seen
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: you so mistreated. Because they're all giving these pompous speeches.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: You know, I, I, me, me, I did this. They
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: were crediting this to the Speaker, Julie Manning, which he
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: deserves credit, but it was too much idolatry. And although
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: they all saw me there, people that I've worked with
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: on this issue back in 2021, when I was being
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: made fun of, lampooned, said I'm not a serious candidate.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: And then as you saw in the last campaign, in
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: the waning days, all the mayoral candidates came on board
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: because they saw public attitudes were changing. So nobody acknowledged
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: me at all. But a lot of veterans of the campaigns,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: the animal welfare campaigns, came up, thanked me for crediting
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Barry Gray, the guy at WOR, he who invented talk radio,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: who made that like two of his pillars of broadcasting. One,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: he was a Second Amendment guy, believed you should carry
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: a weapon. Number two, that there should be no horse
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: carriage industry was barbaric in the late 60s, 70s. So
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: you could tell they were true believers. A lot of
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: the young ones, Gen Z's coming up, wanting to take pictures.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Okay. All right, you diss me, dismiss me.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Now it was time to line up to go into
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: the chambers of the city council to hear the debate
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: and to actually see what the vote tally was. Now,
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: as I'm standing on line, I'm in the rear of
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: the line because people are wanting to interview me, talk
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: to me, take photos, and it's disrespectful to do it
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: up there.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: So I'm in the back of the line.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Then all of a sudden, what had become a very
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: strong local issue, became a national and international issue within
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: hours because Donald Trump himself, on the campaign trail, you know,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: he's dealing with them, we're going to talk about it later,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: a million and one issues, decides to put out a
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: truth social on this issue and he goes, this is
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: the president, Donald Trump, so sad to see the beloved
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Central Park horse-drawn carriage industry ending after over a century
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: based legally on one tragic accident when there's a car
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: accident in the area of which there are many. They
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: don't stop cars from entering the park. So why would
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: they stop the carriage? So that reverberated through the crowd,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: except this is not a Donald Trump crowd, as you know.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: But still, it just showed you went from a local
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: issue to a huge national issue, eventually an international issue.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: So I'm standing in the back, and Nancy goes, they're
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: not going to let you in, Curtis. They're not going
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: to let you in. And remember how I said yesterday
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: there were a lot of people who, who you could
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: say I'm responsible for their political careers. You know, I
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: went out there, I campaigned for them. Finally, in the
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: waning moments, you know, they're ready to say that's it.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Full capacity up in the peanut gallery. That's where the
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: spectators can watch. But you're not permitted to applaud or boo.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. So who comes out of nowhere?
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: City Councilman from the South Shore, Frank Morano, Republican, conservative.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: He had been my producer in talk radio for many
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: years over at WABC and a place I'd rather not
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: have spent time. The answer, oh, my God, what a
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: waste of my years. But he was there with me.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: And he said, Curtis, I'm going to bring you in.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: And he brought me to the front of the line.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: And the sergeant of arms said, you're going to defy
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: everybody and bring them in? He goes, I'm bringing them in.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: I walk in, I go upstairs, oh man, the politicians,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: you know, eyeballing me. And yet I got to watch
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: the debate. I got to watch the historic vote from
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: the balcony area, 40 to end the industry, seven to
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: continue it, and two abstentions. And then the celebration that
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: took place yesterday out in the courtyard there, right in
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: front of City Hall, both sides, because, you know, the
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: other side, They're a dammit, the horse carriage owners and
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: their union, TW Local 100, they're going to go to
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: federal court. But this is the difference, Larry. When I
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: was battling to end this industry years ago, the opposition
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: would have these old Irish guys, you know, I'm from
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: County Cork, I'm from Dublin, Kulak, and they would regale
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: you in tails and they were likable even though you disagreed.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Now the majority of the drivers are from Turkey. And
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: they're very gruff. You know, they're angry. They don't understand.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: It says, everybody's watching you. So they come up to
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: me for the guys.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: We'll see you in federal court. I said, you're not
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: going to see me in federal court. What are you
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: going to sue? We're suing all of you.
• 26:18
  Speaker 19: Go ahead.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Get online because there are a lot of people ahead
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: of you. You see, that's the tone has changed. In fact,
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: remember the great actor Liam Neeson? Am I pronouncing his
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: name right?
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Liam Neeson, yeah.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Right, the great Irish actor. He came to their aid
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: at a time it looked like we had the votes
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: to close it. Remember, he went to the stables. He said,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: these are my people from Ireland. He had public opinion
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: on his side, but they've lost that. But they're sore losers.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: They don't want to give it up. And my idea, right,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: transitioning them to chitty-bang-bang electric vehicles, no, neither side wants it.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: No, and congratulations, by the way, in that happening yesterday.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: I know you've been fighting for this for a long
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: time on the radio. And let's just give some more
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: praise to Frank Morano. What a good guy he is.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Always has been a good guy.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: It's his turn to give this speech. you know, he's
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: sitting there, everyone's speaking. He goes, and you all made
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: a mistake by not electing Curtis Sliwa, the mayor, because
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: if you did it in 2021, this would not have existed.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: And his colleagues looked at him like, are you, is
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: this a suicide wish of yours? No, he deserves massive props.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Such a good guy, such a really good guy. He
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: has a, He has a party every year that I
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: get invited to and I've never been to. Oh, in
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Atlantic City? Yeah, because of what happened to you, I'm
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: going to go this year.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, fromage and vino.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Have you gone?
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: No, but I always get invited to. Yeah, well, come down.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: You'll go this year.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Can I be with the crooked mayors who are always
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: there from Atlantic City?
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: No, you can't be with them. As a matter of fact,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: you may not want to go now. When we come back,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen. Man, isn't it amazing?
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: A mayor in New Jersey loses it at a city
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: council meeting and goes to attack somebody in the crowd
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: and has to be held back by security. But he
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: wasn't done. We'll talk about it when we come back.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Before I get to the story from New Jersey about
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: a mayor who went bonkers at a city council meeting
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: and had to be restrained as he was charging after
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: somebody in the audience, let me just give a shout
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: out really quick to local media. Because national media, as
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: you know, has lost its way. But local media, the
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: people that go to these city council meetings, the people
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: that tell you what's going on in your community are
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: so important. And I hope they never go away. So
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: this video that went national was recorded by Pine Barrens
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Tribune reporter Ryan Elmore. Well, Ryan, guess what? You made
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: national and international news. So congratulations to you. So it
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: is the mayor of Pemberton Township, which is down in
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: South Jersey. It doesn't matter at this point. This is
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: going national. And the mayor, Matthew Bianchini, was getting upset
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: at someone, I guess, that was in the audience and
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: was always getting under his skin. Michael Salka. Michael Salka
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: was there and goes to these meetings and just goes
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: after the mayor, and the mayor had had enough. Now,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: what you're going to hear is... is the mayor going
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: after Salka and having to be restrained by security and
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: even some of the city council members.
• 29:49
  Speaker 19: Matt!
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: Matt!
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Matt!
• 29:52
  Speaker 20: Matt!
• 29:53
  Speaker 19: Stop!
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: Stop!
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Stop it, man.
• 29:56
  Speaker 20: Come on.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Stop. Let him go. Let him go.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: He should resign. That was Salka. That was Salka saying that.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: And even as they were trying to take the mayor
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: out of there because they could not restrain him, even
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: as he was doing that, he turned and said to him,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get you and then cursed. So he
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: threatened them. I want the police to arrest him now.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: I'm charging him with assault.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: He came here and threatened me physically. And he just
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: said he's going.
• 30:30
  Speaker 20: To get me.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: That's a threat.
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: Mr.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Solicitor, you saw it too.
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: You heard it.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Man, that was pretty good. And I'll tell you what. Afterwards,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: the mayor said, was it wrong? Absolutely. Was it justified? Absolutely.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: And I would do it again if I had to.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Then he said, which is something that's really interesting and
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: may be at the root of all of this, don't
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: attack my family. I think any good husband, any good
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: father would have done just the same thing. Now, apparently
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: his family was there. And Sokka was insulting his family
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: and going after his family and even threatened his family.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: And so he just has had enough. Now, this is
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: according to the family, I'm going to say, alleged. I
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: think this is what happened. I eyeballed that video a
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: little closer. So Sark is what typically happens at county,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: excuse me, township, village, and small municipal meetings, required meetings.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: He's a gadfly. He's always there, and he's always prepared.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: But sitting next to him apparently was a woman wearing
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: a T-shirt, of the GOP challenger to Bianchini, who is
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: GOP himself, meaning Bianchini is going to be primaried by him.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: I think that's what flipped the script, because normally they
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: don't want you coming into any kind of government meetings,
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: you know, promoting one candidacy or another. I think that's
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: what caused Bianchini to have that anger management meltdown.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he just had enough. I mean, it
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: sounds like, and you've probably been through this more than
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: I ever have in my life, where somebody has come
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: after you or you got upset with them.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: The famous one, Philadelphia. I'm bringing the Guardian Angels' dads
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: before the Aldermanic Council. One of the street brothers jumped
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: over the railing, came right up to me, put his
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: finger in my chest. You're not coming to Philadelphia. And
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: they had to restrain him. This is when Rizzo was
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: a police commissioner. You know, there were two street guys, right?
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: The two brothers.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Milton and John.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And they said, well, he has anger management issues, Curtis.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Don't take it personally. Don't take it personally. He jumped
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: right over the railing and came up like he was
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: going to assault me if I didn't go back to
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: New York City.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: John Street became mayor of Philadelphia. You know that. Philadelphia
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: is a different kind of politics. At least it used
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: to be. But so Bianchi is out today, by the way,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: early this morning saying he's been harassing my family for
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: years and in person. And, you know, Bianchi just got
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: into that seat. He was put in there to fill
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: in for a mayor who retired. Now I can see
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: why you retire. Just put Salka in there. Just put
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: him in there. Let him have the job. Because, my God.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: But we got to.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Find out, his last name is similar to my mom's
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: maiden name, Bianchino. Just at the end, he has an I.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: My mother, Francesca, has an O. You know, when you
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: came through Ellis Island, sometimes they change some of that.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: He sounds like the kind of guy I've been at
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: times with anger management issues.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: It may be in the DNA. It could be. When
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: we come back, well, Donald Trump won't stop talking about
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: that ad in Ohio. That's after the 7 o'clock news. Well,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: every election cycle, it seems like there is a political
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: ad that jumps out and makes news. We can go
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: back for a long, long time and talk about political ads,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: going back to when Lyndon Johnson showed a bomb dropping
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: to show what would happen if Goldwater took over. A
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: little girl in a field with daisies explodes. Some of
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: them are controversial. Some of them are just excellent. Some
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: of them can change elections. Well, the one that Vivek
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Ramaswamy did, is getting a lot of attention and for
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: all the wrong reasons. A lot of people, especially Democrats,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: have come out and said the ad is completely inappropriate
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: because his opponent, Amy Acton, had longstanding, instead of a brother,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: problems with her stepfather and her mother. And the mother
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: is who was used in the ad to talk about
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: the character of Amy Acton.
• 34:54
  Speaker 20: I love my daughter, but when I saw her lying
• 34:57
  Speaker 20: about her opponent, it's not easy for a mother to
• 35:00
  Speaker 20: say this, but Amy has a serious problem. She is
• 35:04
  Speaker 20: a liar. She lies about her past. She says she
• 35:09
  Speaker 20: grew up living in a tent. None of that is true.
• 35:13
  Speaker 20: She's lied her entire life. My daughter needs help, and
• 35:18
  Speaker 20: she can't help you if she needs help herself.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a powerful, powerful ad, but did it cross
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: the line? There are a lot of people that think
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: it did. You shouldn't put someone's mother on, especially given
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: the history in the family. But many people said, you know,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: it's an ad that is going to resonate, and it's
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: an ad that is going to resonate for people either
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: voting against it or now voting against her. The governor
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: of Ohio, DeWine, came out and said that ad's got
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: to come down.
• 35:52
  Speaker 21: The people I've worked with on that ticket are very,
• 35:54
  Speaker 21: very good people. And look, I'm a Republican, and so
• 35:57
  Speaker 21: I did my endorsement a few months ago. But what
• 36:00
  Speaker 21: I wanted to talk today about is this ad. I
• 36:03
  Speaker 21: think it's, as I said, deeply, deeply, deeply troubling. It
• 36:07
  Speaker 21: needs to come down.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: But Curtis, President Trump disagrees vehemently. He talked about that
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: yesterday more than he talked about anything. He talked about
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: it getting on to Air Force One to go to Iowa.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: He talked about it on the stage in Iowa.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Amy Acton's mother said horrible things about.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Amy Acton, and I don't know why you're not allowed
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: to do that. You're not allowed to broadcast it.
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: Now, I'll say this.
• 36:36
  Speaker 21: The press is ganged up because you hate it, because
• 36:39
  Speaker 21: that one ad should really win.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: That one ad should really win it. That was as
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: he was getting on the plane. Here he is on
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: the stage. He must take that ad down immediately. He must.
• 36:51
  Speaker 13: No.
• 36:52
  Speaker 8: The mother is calling the daughter a terrible person and
• 36:56
  Speaker 8: a liar.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Everybody should be so lucky.
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: Why would you shield somebody from that?
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Why would we do that?
• 37:03
  Speaker 8: So I told him, leave it up and look upstairs
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: and say, thank you, God, very much.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Now, he said something really interesting, Curtis.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: It was a fascinating statement, and it does ring true.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: He said, just imagine if my mother was alive and
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: said horrible things about me. Would the media be saying,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: take that down? Would the media be saying that that
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: is inappropriate? No, they'd love it. They'd keep replaying it
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: and replaying it on the news. And there really is,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: there is a double standard when it comes to these things.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: It's okay when the Democrats do it. It's not okay
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: when the Republicans do it. And I'll tell you what,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: evidence number one on all of that is the fact
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: that Donald Trump, they tried to arrest him several times.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: They raided his home. They They went after his building
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: in New York. And the media cheered all that on.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: But when Trump goes after anybody in the Democratic administration,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: when his Justice Department does, oh, it's awful. It's the
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: worst thing in the world. So there definitely is a
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: double standard. Well, this is not good. The majority of
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: voters are women. Number two, the acting campaign produced the
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: documentary evidence of who the mother was in marrying the
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: stepfather who had been indicted by a grand jury for
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: sexually raping the candidate.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Her brother has also come out and verified that. What
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: happened was once the indictment came down, he pled innocent
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: and fled to Pennsylvania. The biological mother fled with him,
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: did not side with the children. And guess what? The
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: children were taken away from her by the court. So
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Vivek is a smart guy, does analytics, does a lot
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: of research. He's a billionaire. You had to believe that
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: they knew what the outcome of that court adjudication was
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: that does not put the mother in a good light
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: and definitely not the stepfather. So if your biological brother
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: is saying exactly this is what happened and then you
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: have first J.D. Vance coming in and Trump, the national
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: figures saying, yeah, Vivek, you're right. But then all the
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: local figures are trying to help, especially John Husted, who's
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: behind in the polls against Sherrod Brown. That's the guy
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: who replaced J.D. Vance when he went on to become
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: vice president. That's the one that Trump says he likes
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: his ass. He disavowed it. DeWine disavowed it. And then
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: you pointed out he goes to Iowa. It's a neck
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: and neck race with Ashley Henson being the Republican before
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: he even gets off Air Force One.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: She disavows it. She says, take it down. And she
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: called J.D.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Vance's defense of Vivek's ad ridiculous.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: So you got all.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: These Republicans whose whole lives now are running on this
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: campaign and this unexpected haymaker. It really is. It came
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: out of nowhere that Vivek did because he's behind in
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: the polls. It's like a Hail Mary pass. And yet
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: they double down on it. There are a lot of
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: people who are going to say, man, God, why would
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: you do this?
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not sure. Because everybody has different reasons for
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: saying something, right? Of course, if you're a candidate running
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: somewhere else, there's no reason to say that's a great ad.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: It's just going to hurt you. There's no reason in
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: the world. So everybody has their own reasons. There's no
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: reason for the governor of Ohio to say, yeah, keep
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: that ad up. Donald Trump wants to win that race. Now,
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: if Donald Trump were to go on national television, at which,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: by the way, every one of his rallies are on
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: national television, and he knows that, you know, everybody says, well,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: why is he talking about that here? Because it's not
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: just an Iowa rally. Everything he says is national. And
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: so he wanted to send a message to the voters
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: in Iowa that I don't think it's that bad. He
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: wants to send a message to the Republican voters in
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Ohio saying, that it's not that bad. That's what's important
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: to him to win this race. So if you look
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: at it that way, if you just look at it politically, yes,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: he is going to do that. And it's actually smart
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: of him to do that because the top guy, the
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: one that has 92% popularity in among MAGA, and 87%
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: popularity in the Republican Party, is now telling the voters
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: in Ohio, I like that ad, it's a good thing.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: That would be great if it was a primary. This
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: is a general election.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: I know, that's even more important.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: Democrats, independents.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Even more important.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: And then why are Republicans breaking ranks with the president?
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: The very people he's in those states to support are
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: denouncing it.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: Because they have their own races. You do understand this, right?
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: If you have your own race, yeah, it doesn't help
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: you at all to be for him.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: So I know we're supposed to win the midterms here
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: in the Senate, at least hold the Senate. We've lost
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: the House. You would admit that.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: We've lost the House. Probably, yes.
• 42:16
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: So why would you make it even more difficult for U.S.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: Senator Kennedy?
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: Come on, man. It doesn't affect them at all. Sure
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: it does. No, it doesn't. It does not. You think
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: that this affects the voters in Iowa? You think it
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: affects the voters in South Carolina? It doesn't at all.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: Wanna bet the last minute ads are attaching Trump to saying, oh,
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: I would use this ad.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: No, it won't. They won't. I will bet you they
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: never use that. No, they're not. If I were advising
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: a Democrat... It's a waste of money. It's not.
• 42:47
  Speaker 8: It is. It is.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: And by the way. By the way, this is all
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: your hopes, but it's not the truth. No, it makes
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: no sense. The major Republicans are denouncing it. You have
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: division in your own party. I just explained why.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: And you're saying, oh, but that's going to get out
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: Republican votes.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: I just explained why. That's self-destructive. No, all he wants
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: to do, all Trump wants to do is not stop Obama.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Republican voters in Ohio from voting. He wants to say
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: to them, I'm for this. It's okay. You can vote
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: for this guy. Had he done the opposite, he would
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: have lost the race for Vig Ramaswamy. Now he's behind.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: He's lost the race. Whether you think that or not,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: it would have been a death knell at that point.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: You will. So of course he's not going to. You
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: do understand. And everybody else is going to run the
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: other way because it helps them. This is all politics 101.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: So how do you win a general election? If the
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: Democrats are put off by this, if independents are put
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: off by this, if some of your fellow Republicans are
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: put off by this, just do the math.
• 43:49
  Speaker 22: You lose.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: I'll do the math. If they get the Republican vote out,
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: it's not going to matter. If they get the Republican
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: vote out in Ohio, not everywhere— Curtis, you do the math.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: The guy that he... You do the math. Excuse me.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: He waxed poetic over this guy Husted's ass twice.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: I love this guy's ass. Actually, it's worrisome that you
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: talk about that so much.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: That guy actually denounced the ad, and he's running for re-election.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: I just explained to you why. I can't do it
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: a fifth time. I want you to go out. I
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: want you to campaign this weekend. I want you to say,
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: I support Vivek's ad. Just say sometimes you're wrong.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: To Republicans. Just every once in a while, just say, no,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: I'm wrong on this. No, I'm so right. No, you're not.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: He is the misogynist, sexist in chief, and he is
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: purposefully losing this election.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: And now it comes out. How about talking about grocery prices?
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: How about talking about energy prices?
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: He does.
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: He does.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: Did you watch his speech? He didn't even mention that. Oh,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: sure he did. Just not on the clips that are
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: played on the news. Oh, come on, Larry. Did you
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: watch the speech? I watched most of it. It was horrible.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: You're talking about an election in Ohio. You just don't
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: like Trump. That's fine. He's going to.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Lose the Senate, and then he's going to get impeached,
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: and Republicans are going to have nothing as a result.
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: He doesn't care anymore. So you're biased, and that pushes
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: your opinion. I want him to end the war in Iran,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: the BB war in Iran that caused all this. this
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: stuff you just call him a lot of names you're
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: very biased when it comes he's a sexist misogynist there
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: you go chief of the country and he proved it
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: in backing this ad thank you for stepping out of
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: the closet i really appreciate.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: That what is polymarket saying i wish polymarket would do
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: an ad on that how many people support the president
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: on this we actually have a clock that we're supposed
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: to pay attention to so do you want to talk
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: about ron duguay.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Oh absolutely my buddy Unfortunately, he passed on. Yeah, so
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: we're going to talk about that next and remember him.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: Curtis is friends with him, so he's got some stories,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: plus a chance to see Journey at age 25. But first....
• 45:55
  Speaker 6: They announced the passing of Ron Duguay at the age
• 46:02
  Speaker 6: of 69 down in the Jacksonville area of Florida where
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: he lived with Sarah Palin.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: Remember the Alaska governor? Vice presidential candidate for John McCain.
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: It's a most unlikely couple. You have to imagine the
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: both of them because Ron Duguay, what I remembered about
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: him when he broke into the scene as a New
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: York Ranger, because I've been a lifetime Ranger fan. He
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: had that mane on his head.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, curls.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: Refused to wear a helmet. And he would be a
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: fixture at Studio 54. He'd be the first person they
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: let right on in with his buddy John McEnroe at
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: the time who was at the top of his tennis game.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: Everybody loved Ron Duque. He looked like a model. And
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: it wasn't just like he was a scrub or he
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: scored some goals. Guy would average 25, 35, 40 goals
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: a year. Pretty damn good gott. the Rangers into the
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: Cup Finals in 79, in which they won the first
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: game against the Montreal Canadiens, and then they put it out,
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: and he said, yeah, that's because we were partying too much.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: Because he was at the Studio 54 every night. So
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: when they'd line off for the puck drop, the opposing
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: players who were in town at Madison Square Garden said,
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: I won't hit you in the face. I won't drive
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: you into the boards, cross-check, you know, which could do damage.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Just got to get me into Studio 54 tonight. And
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: Ron Duguay said, deal. He was with Cher. He was
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: with everybody. He married Kim Alexis, the great model, but
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: unfortunately had stage four colon cancer, and he began deteriorating.
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you. Let me go on record as saying this.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: Wake up, Chris. Listen to this. This is going to
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: cause a comment from you.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: If I was to ever become a homosexual, it would
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: be with Ron Duguay. And many conversations with him, it
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: was not homoerotic. That guy was just a great conversationalist also.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: And a good-looking guy. My God. Good looking. See, there
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: you go. The Sassoon Jeans commercial. Talk about looking at
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: somebody's ass. I got to see what he looked like
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: back in the day because I know what he looked like.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: on the Rangers postgame for the last, you know, however
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: many years. Oh, man.
• 48:18
  Speaker 18: He's a good-looking guy, you know, in his old age.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know what he looked like back when he
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: was playing. They hired Brooks to be the coach, you know,
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: the miracle goal.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: But he's straight-laced.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: He lays down, he says, Duguay, no more clubs at
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: night and you got to wear a helmet. He said, nope.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: And then they traded him to the Detroit Red Wings.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: What a loss. What a loss. Ron Duguay dead at
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: the age of 69. Let's get some talkbacks. This is
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: about the mayor in Pemberton, New Jersey, who went nuts.
• 48:48
  Speaker 23: This mayor in Pemberton is like many I've seen over
• 48:50
  Speaker 23: the decades in Jersey. thinking they are more what they are.
• 48:54
  Speaker 23: It's a part-time administrative position. He says they assaulted.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: There's no security. They're cops at the meeting. Look at them.
• 49:00
  Speaker 23: If he was assaulted, the gentleman would have been arrested.
• 49:04
  Speaker 23: He said he's been coming at them, but he had
• 49:06
  Speaker 23: never made any complaints. And then the first thing, he
• 49:09
  Speaker 23: demands the police arrest them right away. Please, it's a
• 49:13
  Speaker 23: typical guy just thinking he's more than he is.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: He's a gadfly, the guy he's talking about. See, he
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: was conflating the two, Bianchini, the mayor, and the gadfly
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: who wanted the mayor arrested.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: But no, he's right.
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: This happens in these local village township and municipal meetings
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: all the time.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: Not like this one. This one got a little bit
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: out of hand.
• 49:37
  Speaker 7: Larry, Divine is a milquetoast, and you're acting like a milquetoast.
• 49:43
  Speaker 7: Stop complaining about other Republicans. Yeah, maybe the ad pushes
• 49:48
  Speaker 7: some buttons, but the Democrats fight tooth and nail. They
• 49:54
  Speaker 7: fight dirty, and we need to start fighting dirty, too.
• 49:58
  Speaker 7: Stop being such a milquetoast.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about? You weren't the milquetoast. I
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: was the milquetoast. What are you talking about?
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: Both these callers seem to have pointed at the wrong people.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: We couldn't be more different in just about every way.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: And somehow I'm the one that has to go and
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: support the GOP. Have you listened? What the hell? I
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: really just don't get that one.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: But notice both callers back to back seem to be
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: pointing at the wrong people. Wow.
• 50:31
  Speaker 19: You guys must have a short memory. You forgot about
• 50:34
  Speaker 19: Mary Trump talking against Donald Trump. The leftist media said, well,
• 50:38
  Speaker 19: this woman is so honorable. See, his own family speaks
• 50:41
  Speaker 19: against him. But when the shoes on the other foot,
• 50:44
  Speaker 19: not so much.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, it's a double standard. And it's so embarrassing.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: And I'm embarrassed because I love news and I love
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: the media. And they have gone off the deep end.
• 50:54
  Speaker 10: Curtis, are you kidding me?
• 50:56
  Speaker 24: I can't even believe you would go against your own party.
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 51:01
  Speaker 7: Seriously?
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: Trump is a misogynist?
• 51:03
  Speaker 24: Oh my God, you are so wrong on so many levels.
• 51:07
  Speaker 24: Can we just support our president? Can we support our country?
• 51:10
  Speaker 24: And ending the war in Iran? You don't think Trump
• 51:15
  Speaker 24: wants this ended?
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: Hasn't done anything to end it, and that's why Republicans...
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: will fail to win the midterms because of that Iran
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: war that Bibi got us into. Before that, everything was
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: going well in January, and then February, downhill. Now let's
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: get to Daria Albinger with the 7.30 news, Daria.
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: Morning, guys.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: Sunny and cooler today.
• 51:34
  Speaker 14: We'll see a high of 58 degrees. The city council
• 51:36
  Speaker 14: has sent Mayor Mamdani a bill to end the horse
• 51:39
  Speaker 14: carriage industry here in the city by 2028. Romance's law
• 51:44
  Speaker 14: is in memory of a teenage tourist killed in a
• 51:46
  Speaker 14: carriage accident.
• 51:47
  Speaker 25: In June, Ramash Mahajan and his family did what so
• 51:50
  Speaker 25: many tourists do, headed to Central Park for a carriage ride.
• 51:54
  Speaker 25: But just a few moments in, the 18-year-old was thrown
• 51:57
  Speaker 25: and killed. His aunt and other relatives say now they
• 52:01
  Speaker 25: can properly grieve.
• 52:03
  Speaker 26: No law can bring my romance back. But if his
• 52:06
  Speaker 26: legacy can protect lives and prevent another family from experiencing
• 52:11
  Speaker 26: this pain, then his light will come.
• 52:14
  Speaker 25: To be a shine. Critics promised to head to court
• 52:17
  Speaker 25: right away to get a temporary restraining order.
• 52:20
  Speaker 14: Channel 7's Kimberly Richardson. Manslaughter, not murder charges for a
• 52:23
  Speaker 14: retired NYPD detective accused in the deadly drive-by shooting this
• 52:27
  Speaker 14: week on the GWB. The family of the victim, Coran Irvine,
• 52:32
  Speaker 14: packed the courtroom yesterday at the arraignment for Victor Romero.
• 52:35
  Speaker 14: The DA's office wants a million dollars bail, but Irvine's
• 52:38
  Speaker 14: family says Romero is already receiving special treatment. A 17-year-old
• 52:43
  Speaker 14: is in custody. He's charged with murder in the fatal
• 52:46
  Speaker 14: shooting on a Manhattan subway platform last weekend. Police believe
• 52:49
  Speaker 14: the incident started as a dispute over smoking marijuana on
• 52:53
  Speaker 14: a subway train. President Trump's pre-midterm election blitz takes him
• 52:56
  Speaker 14: to Florida today. Yesterday, while on the campaign trail in Iowa,
• 53:00
  Speaker 14: he announced that he would use the Defense Production Act.
• 53:03
  Speaker 14: to free up $ 150 million in federal funding to boost
• 53:06
  Speaker 14: domestic gas and diesel production. And the Pittsburgh Steelers have
• 53:10
  Speaker 14: canceled a fan event in Paris this weekend as a
• 53:12
  Speaker 14: precautionary measure due to the recent riots in France. The
• 53:16
  Speaker 14: Steelers will take on the New Orleans Saints on Sunday
• 53:18
  Speaker 14: in the first NFL game in France. Devils and Islanders win.
• 53:22
  Speaker 14: Rangers lose. Knicks are in Boston tonight. Next news, 8 o'clock,
• 53:26
  Speaker 14: bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710-WOR.
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: All right, on time. Rob Astorino up next to talk
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: about Blakeman-Hockel, the Lawler race, the two biggest races in
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: New York State, and, of course, the Vivek ad in
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: Ohio that has gone viral. So on the line right now,
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: our colleague Rob Astorino. You hear him here, 710WOR, every
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: Saturday from 5 to 6. Rob, let's discuss Blakeman-Hockel. New poll,
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: Kornipiak says he's 14 points behind. Zeldin was like six
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: points behind at the same period. I don't buy it.
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: I've looked at both campaigns. I think Blakeman has run
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: a much better campaign than I saw Zeldin run. What's
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: been your reaction, Rob? To these recent polls that claim
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: he's losing in double digits.
• 54:17
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I mean, it's typical. It's typical for polling
• 54:20
  Speaker 8: in New York. It's typical for these college polls. It's,
• 54:24
  Speaker 8: you know, at this point, I think Blakeman has been
• 54:27
  Speaker 8: a great spot right now, honestly. And he's coming on
• 54:30
  Speaker 8: my show tomorrow from 4.
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: To 5 p.m.
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: Pardon.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: Pardon.
• 54:37
  Speaker 8: If you listen to five to six, you're going to
• 54:38
  Speaker 8: hear some doctor talking about cancer.
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: So, no, no, no.
• 54:44
  Speaker 8: Honestly, Blakeman is in a really good spot, and so
• 54:47
  Speaker 8: is Teresa Comitoretti. This is where you want to be
• 54:50
  Speaker 8: going into early voting, which starts tomorrow. And there, within
• 54:53
  Speaker 8: striking distance, you look at the weakness of Hochul in
• 54:57
  Speaker 8: so many parts of this state, and the issues are
• 55:00
  Speaker 8: all on Blakeman's side. I mean, watching that debate, She
• 55:04
  Speaker 8: was just like, she was like a sophomore in high
• 55:07
  Speaker 8: school trying to be on a debate team. It was,
• 55:10
  Speaker 8: it was pathetic. And she couldn't, she had no answers.
• 55:13
  Speaker 8: She still has no answers for anything other than just
• 55:17
  Speaker 8: scream Trump.
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: That's in the back of her head.
• 55:19
  Speaker 8: Just like every Democrat. Now, when you're challenged and you
• 55:22
  Speaker 8: can't win on anything, just scream Trump. And I don't
• 55:25
  Speaker 8: know how far that's going to be, you know, how
• 55:27
  Speaker 8: about we get them, but she's a Democrat in a
• 55:30
  Speaker 8: blue state. So she's obviously winning, but, uh, My advice
• 55:34
  Speaker 8: to anyone running right now is, especially a Republican, and
• 55:38
  Speaker 8: Bruce knows this, you're never going to lead in the
• 55:40
  Speaker 8: polls until the polls actually close and you could win
• 55:43
  Speaker 8: on election night.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, that's tremendous advice. And I agree with you,
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: the debate, she was awful in her answer on energy
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: when she was blaming Trump for all of the raises
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: and the energy prices was embarrassing, I thought. As you
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: go across the country right now, I'm starting to feel
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: a little bit better. I asked you to talk me
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: off the ledge before and I'm, I'm squarely off the
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: ledge and I didn't fall because I, I have a
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: feeling that the house is going to go. I hope
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: it doesn't, but I have a feeling the house is
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: going to go. I think the Republicans are going to
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: win the Senate and not only by a couple, by,
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: you know, two or three.
• 56:19
  Speaker 8: I look, I feel the same way. I just, I
• 56:23
  Speaker 8: was with Ken Paxton on Monday in Dallas. Um, They're
• 56:27
  Speaker 8: feeling much better. The early voting is very heavy in
• 56:30
  Speaker 8: some of these states, but they're feeling much better where
• 56:34
  Speaker 8: they are. The biggest question is the rural vote. Is
• 56:39
  Speaker 8: the rural vote in a lot of these states going
• 56:41
  Speaker 8: to come out in the numbers that they typically do?
• 56:45
  Speaker 8: Because they're the ones that are dealing with the diesel
• 56:47
  Speaker 8: prices for farming and all those kind of issues. Are
• 56:51
  Speaker 8: they really willing to sit it out or to cross
• 56:54
  Speaker 8: over for a Democrat that they know, I mean, philosophically, ideologically,
• 56:58
  Speaker 8: they can't stand, that they know will be really worse
• 57:03
  Speaker 8: for them? Or do they kind of hold their nose
• 57:05
  Speaker 8: or they feel patriotic and stick with their party? That's
• 57:09
  Speaker 8: probably what will happen. I was in Kansas, too, and
• 57:13
  Speaker 8: I saw the debate with Senator Marshall. I don't think
• 57:15
  Speaker 8: he did great. He's up against this guy, Adam Hamilton,
• 57:18
  Speaker 8: who is a pastor there. comes across very well. He's
• 57:22
  Speaker 8: actually getting some stupid jerk rhino Republicans to support him.
• 57:28
  Speaker 8: But I, again, think gravity is going to be gravity.
• 57:31
  Speaker 8: And in these Republican states, in the end, Republicans are
• 57:34
  Speaker 8: going to end up winning.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: So I'm with you, Larry.
• 57:36
  Speaker 8: I'm looking over the edge, but I don't think we're.
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: Going to take it.
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: Right in your backyard is the Mike Lawler, Kate Connolly race.
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: I've probably seen more ads. nonstop on my thread, television,
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: you name it. They've got to have the most ads
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen on television for a local congressional race.
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: It appears it's neck and neck if you follow the polls.
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: What's your sense? Because that's right in your backyard.
• 58:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah, no, I think it is neck and neck. And
• 58:08
  Speaker 8: it's just because there are more Democrats in this area too.
• 58:11
  Speaker 8: And they are fired up. But I still, the thing
• 58:15
  Speaker 8: that gets me hopeful is, Curtis is I still talk
• 58:19
  Speaker 8: to Democrats in the area and the ones who have
• 58:23
  Speaker 8: kind of supported Lawler in the past and they're still
• 58:27
  Speaker 8: with him. And that to me is a very good
• 58:29
  Speaker 8: sign that they haven't broken away.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: And, you know.
• 58:33
  Speaker 8: He's working very hard. I mean, look, you and I
• 58:36
  Speaker 8: don't see it all the time because I'm not watching
• 58:38
  Speaker 8: CNN too often around us now, but he'll go on
• 58:40
  Speaker 8: those stations and he'll he'll deal with their nonsense because
• 58:44
  Speaker 8: that's how he reaches other people. So he, he's very
• 58:47
  Speaker 8: good with that. And I think that that's, you know,
• 58:51
  Speaker 8: this is when it translates or you hope it does when,
• 58:53
  Speaker 8: when the voting actually starts. So, I mean, look, that's
• 58:56
  Speaker 8: just going to be a neck and neck race. And, um,
• 58:58
  Speaker 8: I do think he'll win. I mean, he's had the resources,
• 59:01
  Speaker 8: thank God. He's had the messaging and, um, you know,
• 59:05
  Speaker 8: I'll be, I'll actually be with all of them on
• 59:08
  Speaker 8: Sunday morning. There's going to be a big rally in
• 59:10
  Speaker 8: yorktown yeah blakeman's going.
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: To be there uh lawler and all.
• 59:15
  Speaker 8: Of them and i'm going to actually be there i
• 59:17
  Speaker 8: think i'm emceeing the event so that's going to be
• 59:18
  Speaker 8: fun and uh look this is this is the when
• 59:22
  Speaker 8: it starts to get a little chilly it's a little
• 59:24
  Speaker 8: chilly this morning that means we're about to vote i love.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: That Yeah, I think Lohler's going to win, too. I
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: think the Tom Kane Jr. seat is gone, though. Rebecca
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: Campbell turned out to be a really good candidate. I
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: do want to ask you if you've seen the new
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. She's come out with a brand new way
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: of speaking completely, as if some consultant said to her,
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: they're making fun of you. You've got to change the
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: way you speak. And she's slowed down. She's speaking in
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: shorter sentences. Have you seen it online at all?
• 59:58
  Speaker 8: I haven't, but every week there's a new Kamala Harris. Anyway,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 8: so that's this week's version, I guess.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: Was she sloshing her words?
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 8: Was she drunk already or no?
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: No, she seemed okay. It seemed to be working. If
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: she actually stopped and thought about what she was going
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: to say, and that seems to be what they told
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: her to do. Don't just spit out the first word
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: that comes into your mind. She's slowed down. She's more deliberate.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: She's a little bit more boring, which is amazing because
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: I thought she was boring before. But she's absolutely trying
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: out a brand new way of speaking.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 8: It ain't going to work. Because you know what? When
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 8: you have to think about that and get trained, you
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 8: always fall back to you. And that's what's going to
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 8: be with her. She's just going to be a human
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 8: word salad from here to the day she dies. And
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 8: that laugh is never going to change. I pray to
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 8: God every day. I light candles. I do rosaries that
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 8: she is their nominee again. Please, God.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 7: Please.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 8: Are you listening, God?
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: Please.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 8: Be the nominee for the Democrats.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: You might get your wish. Rob Astorino, host of the
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: Rob Astorino Show on WOR. Saturdays, I heard it's from
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: 4 to 5 p.m. Host of Saturday Agenda 1 to
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: 3 on Newsmax and former Westchester County executive. Thanks a lot, Rob.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: Have a good show. Thanks, guys. It's 710 WOR Speed
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: on the Street with Natalie Migliore. No one better to
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: do this topic. Bride-to-be Natalie Migliore knows what it's like
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: to plan a wedding. And can you imagine what's happening
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: to those brides at the Plaza Hotel?
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 15: I cannot. I cannot imagine it.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 16: Well, I could because that's one of my biggest fears
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 16: now that I'm really into the deep end of planning.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 16: And the brides, imagine, all I thought about, you have
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 16: the groom, you have the date, and then it's the
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 16: venue that jilts you.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 15: You get jilted by the venue, right?
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 16: It's been really a week now since news broke that
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 16: the plaza would be closing in the new year for
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 16: renovations that'll take at least four years. As the news
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 16: came out, several brides with plans to host their receptions
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 16: at the iconic hotel say they called to make sure
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 16: this didn't impact their special day. But it turns out
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 16: it did. OK, weddings with hundreds of guests canceled just
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 16: like that. Brides even a week later still looking for answers.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 16: Anyone who has planned a wedding like me or know
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 16: someone planning a wedding can sympathize.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: I feel sorry for them.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 19: Was that the first time brides were jilted when a
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 19: place closed?
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 27: Hopefully the down payments have been made. They deserve to
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 27: be compensated. for the inconvenience after they paid and all?
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 15: I'd be pissed. I would be bridezilla.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: Well, did they already book it in advance?
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 15: They booked it in advance and they're closing?
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 28: Are they going to be compensated for that?
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: I'm a lawyer. There'll be a lawsuit. I don't know.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 20: Okay.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 15: Hoping to represent them then maybe?
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 8: No.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 15: I tried to get her business, but.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: She's like, no.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 16: But several brides say they've yet to get any sort
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 16: of answer about what's going to happen with the money
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 16: they've already put down. You know, when you do this,
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 16: you sign a contract with venues with really anybody who's
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 16: going to do your wedding.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 15: And their event is now up in the air. It's
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 15: not cheap. to get married at the Plaza Hotel, okay?
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 16: According to Tool Together, which is a website that sort
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 16: of compiles how much people are paying at every venue, really,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 16: across the tri-state area, a 200-person wedding at the Plaza
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 16: in the off-season, okay, because there are seasons for wedding,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 16: costs more than $ 167, 000, okay? OK, so did the Plaza
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 16: book all of these weddings knowing construction was on the horizon?
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 27: I'm not going to say because, you know, sometimes things
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 27: do happen unexpectedly. I'm just going to give them the
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 27: benefit of the doubt. On the other side of that coin,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 27: it's a possibility that they knew and selfish, but such
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 27: is the greed of men, right?
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 9: It's a full layer of finding a new location or
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 9: finding a new date. It's another layer of stress, definitely.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 9: Especially if you ever dream of getting married there. That
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 9: could be such a nightmare.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: What was the cost? You said $ 160, 000?
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 22: $ 7, 000.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: How's your budget going?
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 15: Yeah, my budget's nowhere near that.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: Nowhere near that.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 16: No, like we are on a strict budget to which
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 16: I actually have to like haggle with like I'm haggling
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 16: with everybody.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, good for you.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I should hire you.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 15: Thank you.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 16: And my sister's even better because my sister and I
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 16: were getting married within months of each other, actually.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 15: So we go back and forth.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: Your poor dad. I know.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 16: My dad's awesome, though. My mom's been awesome. They've been great.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 16: But I bet you nobody would be awesome enough if
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 16: my venue closed. My venue said, we've got to find
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 16: something else.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but notice, you haven't once mentioned in any of
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: these depictions the groom. I know if that were me,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: I'd say, oh, great, we can go get married hooked
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: up at the Marina Del Rey in the Bronx, you know,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: going over the Whitestone Bridge to Queens.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 15: That's where my future in-laws actually got married.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 14: Really?
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: The Marina Del Rey.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 15: Now, the Plaza Hotel.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 13: No.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 16: The Plaza Hotel is a Fairmont property, which has multiple
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 16: properties across the globe. But they haven't said if they're
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 16: going to offer these properties to these jilted brides. It's
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 16: just a lot's up in the air for the story
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 16: being out as long as it has. Now, it's not
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 16: just the weddings, though, at the Plaza Hotel. tourists will
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 16: be barred because of construction tourists love to go to
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 16: the plaza it's something they look forward to it is.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 5: Iconic i mean me as someone who lived internationally and
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 5: then moved here in 2021 one of the first things
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 5: was everyone was asking me oh my god did you
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 5: go to the plaza hotel and i was like yes
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 5: i did like it's such a known thing even around
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 5: the world and i think mainly because of home alone
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 5: because of how big of a movie that is and
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 5: you know they have the home alone ice cream sundae
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 5: and all that so it has a crazy reputation yeah.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 28: I actually just watched an instagram reel where like this
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 28: couple stayed in the suite for their anniversary and they
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 28: ordered everything from the home alone menu and like i
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 28: just thought that would be like the perfect anniversary date
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 28: and i'm like i want to do that one day
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 28: but wait i gotta wait five years.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 16: Not happening anytime soon so there you have it the
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 16: plaza hotel supposed to close january let me.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: Suggest that all those uh brides uh We'll have to reschedule.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: Elope.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: Save everybody a lot of money. Elope.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: Honestly. The Brides' dad's hoping for that. Natalie Migliore is
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: going to be back tomorrow morning at 7. No, you won't.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: On Monday, you'll be.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: Back at 7.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 15: Enjoy your weekend.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you. You too. Well, the George Washington Bridge
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: shooting is causing some controversy. That's after the 8 o'clock news.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: You'll remember from yesterday the talk about the road rage
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: on the George Washington Bridge. It was an awful, awful
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: incident where two cars got into a ruckus for somehow,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: and one driver then opened fire into the car of
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: the other driver, killing the driver of that car, 46-year-old
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: Corin Irvine, a Con Edison working, and father from Valley Cottage,
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: New York, who was just trying to go home. And
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: it was a retired New York City police detective that
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: shot him, Victor Romero. And Victor Romero entered a plea
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: of not guilty yesterday to manslaughter charges. Manslaughter charges. And
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: that's not the only thing the family is upset about.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: The family is also upset at the way he was treated.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 29: Did you see him do a perp walk in there
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 29: just now? That was a modified perp walk.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 29: He had on a nice outfit.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: He looked clean cut.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 29: He looked very different from every other defendant that you
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 29: saw in that courtroom before he was arraigned. So the
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 29: preferential treatment is how he's presented to Judge McGrath.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: That's the Irvine family attorney, Keith White.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 29: Do any of you have a picture of Victor Romero?
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 29: So Victor Romero's complete identity was scrubbed from the Internet.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 29: prior to him being arrested.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: Now, his sister, Zena Irvine, was also there at the courthouse,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: and she couldn't hold back her emotions.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 15: And to go home and have dinner.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 9: That's it.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 27: Night and my brother was not able to have dinner
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 27: with his children or his wife.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she was unbelievably distraught, almost uncontrollably distraught. And you
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: can imagine why. Just a random shooting on the George
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: Washington Bridge and to find out that the person that
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: fired the shots was retired NYPD.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 27: And to go home and have dinner.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was her again. Listen, this case is going
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: to make headlines now for a long time, especially the
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: fact that he was only charged with manslaughter.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 17: Everyone was on his way home from work, hard day's work,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 17: and stayed overtime. Yet you had a retired police officer
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 17: intentionally fired a bullet and killed him.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: And instead of it being murder, it's called manslaughter. So
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: that's Irvine's aunt, Gail Ford. Now, the difference between manslaughter
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: and murder is only intent. So they have judged that
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: he had no intent to kill somebody. when he fired
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: a shot, that he just wanted to scare people. Now,
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: he did shoot into the back of the car, but
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: if you shoot into somebody's car, there is a decent chance,
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: a pretty good chance, that you're gonna kill somebody. So
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: to say that just firing a gun into a car,
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: there's no intent of killing someone, it probably wouldn't hold
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: water in most cases. So, Curtis, I think that the
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: attorneys are upset and the family is upset because of
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: the charge more than anything else. They can see, as
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: they said, that he was able to change clothes and
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: had a better appearance than anybody else in the courtroom
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: and that there was no perp walk for him. So
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: they treated him differently. I get all of that. But
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: when it gets to the charges, to make it manslaughter... Well,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: you may know this stuff better than I, because you've
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: been around these criminals and the courtroom is much more
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: than I have been.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: Does that make sense to you? Yeah, it's a bad look.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what, this is Alvin Bragg. So
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: this is not being prosecuted in New Jersey. Remember, the
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: shooting happened on the ramp in Manhattan, the leading to
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: the upper deck. And then, unfortunately, the victim, the Con
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: Ed worker, crashed. into like a pole halfway across the
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: bridge as he was trying to get to New Jersey
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: to get help. Now, this guy recklessly pulls his revolver out. Now, remember,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: he knows better than anyone. Not only is he a
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: former detective who went out on three quarters disability because
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: he was shot. He was in a firefight. protecting his
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: family's laundromat in Bushwick years before. And there was three
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: gunmen who came in to rob him. He pulled his revolver.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: He got shot in the chest. He got shot in
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: the arm. They had to do extensive surgery. He then retired.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: But he was involved with an executive service company where
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: you're driving around high-profile executives and diplomats who are visiting.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: So you're generally pretty cool, calm, and collected. You have
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: to be a good conversationalist. It's a high-end job. We
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: don't know the exact details of what the dispute was,
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: but My God, you pull a gun out, you shoot
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: through the back window. It hits him in the shoulder,
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: which normally you might survive. But then the bullet went like,
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: you know, a spiral up into his head. And that's
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: what ultimately killed him. And then you have the dimensions.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: The victim originally from Flatbush moves to Rockland for a
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: better way of life, right? This is typically what happens. African-American, obviously,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: you could hear a little bit of a West Indian,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: Caribbean accent from some of the relatives. The guy, the
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: police officer, former police officer, Victor Romero, he's obviously he's
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: not African-American. So now you add the race component and
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: the fact that D.A. Alvin Brown, turn them loose, Alvin Brown,
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: he turns them all loose. You say, wow, I just
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: don't think. I think what they could have done is because,
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: you know, the former detective is going to ask for
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: a bench trial.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: He doesn't want a jury trial.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: You have a right to say a bench trial, meaning
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: the judge makes a decision or the jury. But I
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: think and I stand to be corrected. You could file
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: two charges ultimately when you determine whether it's a jury
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: or a bench trial.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: One for murder. Absolutely.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: And then let a jury or the bench judge decide. Absolutely.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: There's a bad feel about this. Let the jury decide intent.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: That's what you're saying, and that makes complete sense. The
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: prosecutor shouldn't decide intent. We have no idea. Let him
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: defend himself. Let him get up on the stand and say,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: I didn't intend to kill anybody, and then go through
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: cross-examination when they say, well, when you fire into someone's car,
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: what do you expect to happen?
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: You must know that. that one of the outcomes would
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: be you could kill somebody when you did that. You
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: do understand that, right? And he's going to have to
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: say yes. And then along with that would come some intent. Oh, look,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: I would welcome that. But you know his defense attorney
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: will not allow him to get up and be cross-examined.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: You know that. And now the victim is dead already.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: Were there any witnesses? It's certainly there was nobody in
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: either car that we know of who was an eyewitness.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: Maybe some drivers have called into the police department, the NYPD,
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: you know, to give their version of what they saw.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: You know, as you come off the you come off
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: the West Side Highway and, you know, there's three lanes.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: You have the lower level. Then in the middle, you
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: go into the Bronx, which is always confusing. And then
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: you have the upper level. I'm sure that they were
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: jockeying for position. It's always happening over there.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: Apparently, and here's one of the problems, and I've been
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: on the George Washington Bridge more times than I want
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: to admit, but there is a point where cars have
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: to merge. And there, there's always problems, especially if somebody
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to give way. And it sounds like that's
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: where this started. And it's very possible that the guy
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: that got killed, Irvine, didn't even know that he had
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: cut this guy off. But all of a sudden he
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: had somebody tailgating him, flashing their lights, getting right up
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: on him, and then pulled up next to him and
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: pushed him in to the barricade in the middle. And
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: so then they opened fire. So it is very possible,
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: and we're never going to know because now, unfortunately, this
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: poor man's dead, Corin Irvine. He didn't even know what
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: he did. Yeah.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: So we're going to watch it play out. We'll obviously
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: be covering it. Remember that story we were covering five
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: days ago? Horror. For 53rd and 7th at the train station,
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: the E train.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: Where there was a dispute between the guy security guard
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: from a hotel going up. He lived with his father
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: in Highbridge. And then they were all points bulletin looking
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: for this guy all dressed in red with the black mask. Well,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: the 17-year-old guy, it turned out, the guy who shot
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: the 28-year-old guy turned himself in yesterday.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: And apparently the dispute was about smoking marijuana.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: Without knowing the details, because I've been involved in situations
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: like this on the platform and in the trains itself
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: and moving cars. Probably this guy. the guy dressed in
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: red with a black mask, was lightened up, and the
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: 28-year-old objected. So they started fighting first on the E train.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: Then it went to the platform. Then apparently it went
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: back into the train. The shot was fired. The 17-year-old fled.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: So he's turned himself in. Now, again, that one, there'll
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: be lots of witnesses because the people who are on
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: the train. But I got to tell you, Over marijuana.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: It's silly. And this is a great lesson for everybody.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: Don't let these things escalate. And when you're on the road,
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: this road rage stuff is getting way out of hand.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: And it's not worth it. If somebody wants to get
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: in front of you, let them. I don't know why
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: that has to be a fight. Let them. It's not
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: worth it. What are you going to save a minute?
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: You're going to save 30 seconds, but this is what
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: can happen. There are some irrational people on the roads
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: and you may end up in a horrible car accident
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: or this poor guy dead only because you were trying
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: to hold your ground. Well, we're going to take a
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: head turning turn right now because we want to talk
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: about the library issue. And the fact that they have
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: one of the best Winnie the Pooh exhibits with some
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: extremely valuable artifacts in the museum, excuse me, in the
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: library here. And guess what? Great Britain wants it back.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: We'll tell you about that fight when we come back. Plus,
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: you got a chance to see Journey next. White Crown
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: has been in a battle with New York City Public
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: Library for some time right now. And now, no, 100th
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: anniversary of Winnie the Pooh, the classic children's book written
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: by A.L. Milne, Queen Camilla has gotten involved. And she
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: would just like to borrow some of the artifacts that
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: are now behind glass from at the New York City
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: Public Library. She wants them to come to England just
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: for the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the book.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: Her Highness has been asking that the original Pooh be
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: allowed to come back to Britain after decades behind glass
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: of the Bryant Park branch in Manhattan. Even offering lodging
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: in some of the castles so that, you know, the
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: everyday people can't get their hands on it. But she
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: doesn't only want Winnie the Pooh. She wants Eeyore. She
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: wants Piglet. She wants Conga. She wants Tigger. You see,
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: these were all real stuffed animals. The book is written
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: about A.L. Milne's son, Christopher Robin Milne. And these were
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: all the characters. And the farm they lived on That
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: was the Hundred Acre Woods. And so all of this
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: was just a father writing for his son and his
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: father writing for his son as a gift and using
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: everything that was already around him. So it's a beautiful story.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: And this has been a fight that's been going on
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: for a long time. And this time they're not saying anything. Curtis,
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: we want it back forever.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: No, no, I don't trust them. Give them Ugots, give
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: them Bupkis, Queen Camilla and the King. By the way,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: you know why they love those stuffed animals? The King
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: is how old? Oh, he's like 78, not 80. He
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: carries around his teddy bear from when he was a baby,
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: a kid.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: He packs it, you know, his chair to charge or whatever.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: They are.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: should be giving artifacts to so many countries around the
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: world which they stole items from, including the Parthenon in Greece.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: Greece is concentrated. You took parts of the Parthenon.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: Have you ever gone to the Royal Museum and you're
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: in there and you're looking around and you're going, oh
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: my God, they didn't create any of this stuff. They
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: just stole all this stuff. Everything there.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: I would say give them ugats until they start returning
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: some of those other artifacts to the rightful places that
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: they belong. Because I don't trust the king and queen
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: to say, well, we'll put them on loan to us,
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: you know, just for the occasion, the anniversary, and then
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: we'll send them back.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: I know what they'll say.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: Got lost in passage in the Queen Mary II across
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: the Atlantic.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: I don't trust them. That's a really good argument. But listen,
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: I think they should just lend them to them and
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: then let it be a big fight afterwards in getting
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: them back. But you're right. They've They have a bad
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: reputation when it comes to taking things and not giving
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: them back. So I get the argument. Let's get to
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: some talkbacks.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: Hey, Larry, it.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: Doesn't matter how much Kamala slows down her speech. It
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: will never be as slow as her brain. Oh, that
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: is so good.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: No matter how much she slows down her speech, it'll
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: never be as slow as her brain.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: I can see why they want to slow it down, though.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 22: The ad playing in Ohio with her mother talking, warning
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 22: everyone against her daughter and about how mean and how
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 22: unfair it is getting family members involved. It's terrible with
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 22: the Democrats all up in arms about this. What about
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 22: all the Democrats from the Kennedy family who came out
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 22: about Robert Kennedy when he was running for president? And again,
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 22: when he was going to be secretary of the Department
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 22: of Health, they came out with all these mean ads
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 22: why he shouldn't do it and how terrible he was.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 22: That double standard is something.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're breaking every rule, especially with Donald Trump. I mean,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: the way they went after him because they were afraid
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: he was going to run again. is outlandish and, and
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: there should have been criminal charges. I mean, it was horrible, horrible. And,
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: and so it was so easy to spot what they
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: were doing, that it was all political. I mean, when
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: they raided his home, a president, they didn't give him
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: any notice. Remember when they went into Biden's house, they
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: let him know, they let him know, Hey, guess what?
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: We're coming in. We're doing this with Trump. They not
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: only went in there and looked through Melania's underwear drawers,
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: but they made the whole family leave. No, this is
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: nothing compared to what the Democratic Party has done.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: Lose the midterms over this dumb ad of a woman
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: who was raped by her stepfather. There's documentary evidence. and
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: the mother, the biological mother, fled with her stepfather to
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: Pennsylvania and had both children taken from her.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not one midterm will be dependent on this except
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: possibly Ohio, but none of the rest will be involved
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: with this at all. Let's get to Daria Albinger with
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: the 830 News.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 14: All right, sunny and cooler today with a high of
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 14: 58 degrees, and it's only going to be in the
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 14: 50s this weekend. Fall is definitely here. The city council
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 14: passed a bill which winds down the horse carriage industry
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 14: here in New York by 2028. More from Channel 7's
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 14: Kimberly Richardson.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 25: Part of the bill requires the city to come up
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 25: with a transition plan for drivers, including helping them find
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 25: jobs over the next two years.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: The city will not hear... Please mute her mic, thank you.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 25: But critics call the bill unconstitutional for banning a licensed industry.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 14: The bill, which was passed by a veto-proof margin, now
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 14: heads to Mayor Mamdani for his signature. A retired NYPD
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 14: detective who was accused in this week's deadly drive-by on
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 14: the GWB is being held on a million dollars bail.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 14: Victor Rowan is charged with manslaughter. He pleaded not guilty
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 14: to firing a single fatal shot that killed Coran Irvine.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 14: After their vehicles nearly collided, Irvine's family had fought for
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 14: murder charges for Rowan. A 17-year-old is in custody in
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 14: a connection with that fatal shooting on a Manhattan subway
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 14: platform last weekend. The teen faces murder and weapons charges
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 14: and the death of Daryl Rodriguez on the E-Train platform.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 14: Police believe the incident began as a dispute over smoking
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 14: marijuana on a train. And the fare enforcement teams are
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 14: being removed from MTA buses for now.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 4: Those MTA teams, known as EGLE teams, that stands for
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 4: Evasion and Graffiti Lawlessness Eradication, got the yank Thursday from
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 4: MTA Chair Chano Lieber.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: He cited two incidents.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 4: In August, Eagle team members disarmed a man who came
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 4: at them with a knife under the Gun Hill Road
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 4: subway station in the Bronx, but the Eagle team never
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 4: reported it. Earlier this month, team members stopped a Brooklyn
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 4: school aide for proof he paid his fare. He was
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 4: knocked unconscious. Lieber says he'll decide if and when Eagle
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 4: teams are allowed back on buses. Andrew Whitman, WOR News.

• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: Joe Neumeier.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 2: Our movie reviewer has done the voluminous homework that I've
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: left him to do because he has avoided doing it
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: at all costs. We're going to call that deadbeat on
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: the movie review up next.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: Well, well, it's.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 2: Joe Neumeier on the line, our movie guy. And Joe,
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: don't give me the excuse that the dog ate your homework.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: A while back, I said, hey, Mr. Movie Reviewer, a
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: lot of attention to this must documentary. In fact, wow,
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 2: the Academy Award winning director, Alex Gibney, four hours. I
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: even said you could bifurcate it. You know, look at
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: an hour each time. And, you know, you did Bupkis, right?
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: Come on, Joe.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 18: You know, Curtis, it meant so much to me, and
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 18: it was so important to me that I put it
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 18: off until very late last night. And I know you
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 18: gave me the assignment a couple of weeks ago, but
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 18: I saw all four hours, and I'm going to talk
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 18: about every minute of it right now.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, no.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 8: Oh, no.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: He's born a poor child.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 25: No.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 3: So, yes, I did watch all four hours.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 18: You know, I don't think I learned much about the
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 18: guy that I didn't really know before, except it's a
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 18: little deeper, a little creepier. He thinks we're all living
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 18: in a video game simulation. Sadly, not Donkey Kong or
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 18: Pac-Man or one of the fun ones. He seems, you know,
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 18: as nuts as you sort of think he is. He's
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 18: in the news today. I don't know if anything needs
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 18: to be four hours. I mean, he's not Lawrence of Arabia,
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 18: so I don't really think he needs four hours, but
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 18: figure this clown out. It does have an intermission, like
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 18: Lawrence of Arabia. So if you want to, you want
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 18: to sit and watch it. It's in theaters now. It'll
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 18: be streaming on Amazon in a couple of weeks. I'm
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 18: not sure when.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 3: You can pre-order it. But it's, you know, it does
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 3: have an intermission. I don't know. I don't think it
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 3: really tells you much. I think that it kind of
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 3: goes into depth.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 4: A little bit.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 3: And you're sort of like, oh, you know.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: He is as weird. How many stars would you give it?
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 18: I would give it two, but I also think that
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 18: it could have gotten, if it was, if it was
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 18: two hours, it would have been. been it could it
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 18: really could be 90 minutes but if it had been
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 18: two alex gibney goes in depth on these things and
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 18: he's a good documentarian but i really don't think you
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 18: need like all of the levels that it goes to
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 18: and i don't care listening to his ex-girlfriends his baby
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 18: mama's talking about his kids yeah i i don't need
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 18: that so how often were you could have gone three
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 18: How often.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: Were you cursing Curtis as you were watching it?
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 3: Well, I do that anyway, but I.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: Was like, ah, Curtis.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 3: I did that while I was watching Clayface.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: Now, Joe, while you were talking, your voice was frazzled
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 2: for a second. Are you sure that wasn't Starlink interfering
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: with your communication?
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: I think it might have.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 18: See, he's messing up with our stuff already. He knows
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 18: when people are, because we're living in a simulation. He
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 18: actually thinks, this was something I didn't know, which is
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 18: that he does think that the simulation we're living in,
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 18: I hope I don't fuzz out now because this is important,
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 18: is created by future people creating a simulation that we're
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 18: all living in based on stuff from humanity's past. So
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 18: he's not just sort of thinking it's like the Matrix
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 18: or something. He's really thought this out. So he's really
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 18: got it figured out. So he thinks that it's from
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 18: the future people are creating the simulation we're all living in,
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 18: which I don't know, maybe that explains why.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm definitely watching it now, man.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 3: He totally is.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: And they do talk to that.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 18: The one thing I'll say, they talked to his dad
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 18: and you, you know how you can really kind of
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 18: figure people out when you talk to their parents, when
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 18: his dad comes on, you go, Oh, I get it.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 3: Like the, The nutsy runs deep. And so you'll see it.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: Nutsy, but also, yeah, you give him some credit. The
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: guy's a genius. I mean, the things that he's been
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: able to create. Yes.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: He's a little odd, but still.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it's, I'm not sure at what cost, you know,
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: At what cost or how much it makes him.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 18: Well, well, it's made him a lot of money. Yeah, no,
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 18: I'm saying like, you know, at what cost? I mean,
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 18: is that does the cons outweigh the pros? And I
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 18: think that's one thing that this movie tries to get into.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 18: It tries to get into, you know, it does talk
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 18: about everything that he's kind of done in terms of,
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 18: you know, the Teslas and the self-driving cars and, you know,
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 18: which which just killed somebody else in California just yesterday. So,
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 18: you know, are there are there advances that he makes?
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 3: Sure. Are they worth the cost?
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I think you should have recused yourself
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: from from going ahead and being a critic on the documentary.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: Doesn't sound like you like him at all.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 18: Well, but that's an interesting point because you can go
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 18: into a documentary and think, well, I don't really like
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 18: this person. But you can learn things that maybe change
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 18: your mind about him. And there were things that I
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 18: thought in the documentary I found– they show a lot
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 18: of his early days in the 90s at startups and
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 18: things like that.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: And he really sort of seems to.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 3: Have a purity of vision.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 18: And I think that's sort of gotten– for whatever reason,
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 18: I'm not a sociologist and I'm not a politician– But
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 18: it seems like it sort of has gotten– he's like
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 18: a James Bond villain. They all think they're doing the
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 18: right thing. Oh, a colony in space, an underwater world.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 3: That's a great line.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 2: Joe, beware of Starlink.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: It's going to be shadowing you.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 3: That sounds like a James Bond film.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 2: My other homework assignment. My other homework assignment to you,
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: I loved Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: Nation of Kazakhstan by Sacha Baron Cohen, also known as
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 2: Ali G. He's got a new movie out. It's being
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 2: promoted everywhere. Did you have a chance to check out
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 2: the flick?
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: I sure did.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 18: I've seen it, and I like it, and I think
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 18: it's not as good as the second one, Borat, the
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 18: subsequent movie film, which we'll just show.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 3: We'll just call it that.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 18: Borat's subsequent movie film is like the Citizen Kane of
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 18: those movies, the one from 2020.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: It's fantastic. This one's really good, too, though.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 3: I think it's really.
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't really.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 18: Like, I find the character fine when he was on HBO.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 18: I think he's kind of funny.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: He really.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 3: Like, this is really good, though. I think that the.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 18: I gotta say the full name, you know, Ali G,
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 18: who is I, is fun. And if you like that
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 18: kind of stuff, where he really kind of does a
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 18: candid camera thing and gets people who are not aware
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 18: that he's playing a character. He, there are also sequences
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 18: in here guys that you don't even understand how he
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 18: does them where he's like three characters all at the
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 18: same time. And it's sort of a magic of editing
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 18: and filmmaking. They really do an amazing job of it.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 18: So I, yeah, I liked it a lot. I'd give
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 18: it a solid four stars for allergy.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: Who is I?
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 3: It's really funny.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 18: And it's a, and it's a, for what he, this
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 18: kind of stuff that he does, it's not Borat tube
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 18: or at subsequent movie film, but it's really good.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 3: So I liked it.
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 2: He's such a good actor. He could do the remake
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 2: of Sybil, right? Multiple characters and personalities.
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 3: That's right. The Sally Field TV film. Exactly. He could
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 3: do 16 characters in one.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: So after the huge success of Spider-Man, are superhero movies
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: back now?
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 3: Well, this Clayface movie that's out now is not a success.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: I didn't like it.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 18: But I mean, it's sort of this thing that they're
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 18: trying to do, which is create movies around villains. I
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 18: think they want it to be like Venom, like the
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 18: Venom movies, who is a villain of Spider-Man. So Clayface
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 18: was a villain of Batman, and I remember him from
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 18: reading comics when I was eight years old. The character
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 18: actually goes back to the 40s, but this film is
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 18: not good. It's kind of body horror stuff, but it's
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 18: a guy who's an actor whose face gets messed up,
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 18: and he goes to a shifty scientist, which is always,
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 18: we should know this. You don't go to the shifty scientist.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 18: the joker did that in the first batman movie you
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 18: don't go to those guys they're like in a dark
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 18: alley and uh and he gets stuff injected into his
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 18: face and his face starts melting i don't know i
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 18: give it i give it one star it's got some
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 18: good special effects but uh but i wouldn't i wouldn't
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 18: rush out to see clay face we'll see if it
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 18: makes any money i think people go for it for
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 18: the halloween time stuff right it's a scary movie essentially.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: We're running out of time but i'm sure you want
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: to say something about tom scarrett who passed away.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 18: Yeah you know what it's one of those he's one
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 18: of those actors that you see when you were watching
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 18: movies as a kid the original mash film he's great
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 18: in alien uh top gun he's the in charge of
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 18: the top gun program and and a river runs through
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 18: it which is a really wonderful film so r.i.p 93
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 18: years old great character actor and really terrific in so
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 18: many movies of the 70s and 80s and early 90s
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 18: really great great actor i thought nice character.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: Actor joe neumeier film journalist wr movie minute host we'll
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: see you again next week thanks a lot take care
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: guys Just real quick, I want to thank the Royal
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: Sweet Fairy, which is a New Jersey-based event planning and
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: custom dessert business founded by Sophia, who is here with
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: quite a spread today. And we have been feasting on it. Unbelievable.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: You can catch the Royal Street Fairy once again on
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: the upcoming series of Bravo's hit series, The Real Housewives
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: of New Jersey, where they continually order from them. and
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: showcase their product on the show. So thank you.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 2: Now, what's the over-under point spread? What does PolyMarket say
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 2: in all your gambling positions of whether Paris will burn
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 2: down or not tomorrow? They've imposed a partial curfew. I
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 2: can tell you from experience, Larry, partial curfews don't work.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: The idea is complete curfew because then you can't even
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 2: assemble to begin with. Once you assemble and you start moving,
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 2: And maybe some of the members of the demonstration have
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 2: a different rationale for being there than you do. You
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 2: want your voice to be heard, but they want to
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 2: loot and they want to take advantage. How do you
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 2: then get them off the streets? And we've seen that
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 2: with the batons, the water cannons, the gas. So knowing
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 2: that everybody is going to go out to the streets tomorrow,
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 2: if nothing more, just to see it, to see the spectacle.
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 8: Sure.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: Have a complete curfew. so that people cannot assemble, because
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 2: if you don't, at a certain point, some may rampage.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 2: We saw that during our George Floyd demonstrations. Remember, by day, oh, kumbaya,
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 2: and then at night, all of a sudden, shooting, vandalizing, shoplifting,
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 2: poor wawas went out of business in downtown Philadelphia.
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: They took everything off the shelves. That would be my suggestion. Yeah,
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: this isn't going to go away anytime soon. And it's
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: spread throughout Europe because they are now scrambling for space
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: in schools. They're now scrambling for goods and services, and
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: they don't have the help from the government that they
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: think they should be getting. So this is going to continue,
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: and it's just going to get worse. But the root
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: of it all is the immigration across the world. There's
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: been a huge immigration influx around the world, and nobody
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: knows how to pay for it. And many, many people,
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: not just America, just opened its borders, and they're paying
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: the price for that now.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 2: Well, let me thank the Quiet Storm, Chris, for substituting
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 2: for Natalie today, because we're going to talk with her
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 2: on Monday. The nick rings that she is obsessed with,
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 2: some of them were never delivered.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 2: And then, plus, we had those flip iPhones, people already
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 2: lining up for 72 hours. What are they, freaking out
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 2: of their minds? A lot to talk.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: About on Monday. Yeah, on Monday. And the talk back
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: in the morning, and the winner of the Curtis Sliwa
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: and Larry Mendte in the morning t-shirt thinks he knows
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: why a Maine poll ranked Connecticut so low in the
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: pizza standings.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 12: Maine's got a sandy crotch about Connecticut, because Connecticut eats
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 12: their lobster hot with butter.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 2: Now, Maine.
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 12: You know, they're solid people. They put the mayonnaise and
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 12: all that crap on it. That's the problem. That's why
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 12: we're 16th in their heart.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: I'm stealing. He's got a sandy crotch. That is such
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: a great line. And the Talkback of the Week and
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: winner of the Sea Crane Radio is not suffering from
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: the fatigue that many Americans are feeling.
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 30: You talk about fatigue.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: I have the opposite.
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 30: I am quite like Curtis. The most hours of sleep
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 30: I can get barring any crazy nightly activity, is about
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 30: four to five hours. That's why I call you up
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 30: so amped up, so ready to go right away. I
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 30: am telling you, if I get four hours of sleep,
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 30: I'm lucky. I'm like, whoa, deep sleep. Hey, have a
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 30: great show, guys.
