Hour 1: Alaska Senate race · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, Larry, look who's back. It's our producer Natalie, who
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: had been gone for two days. And I must admit,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I couldn't have been more hopelessly wrong, I assume. Like some,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: not all.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Wait a second. You may not have been wrong. She
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: might be putting on an act.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: You mean in terms of being the no-show lottery winner
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey? Yes.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, think about it. If somebody won, they would
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: continue to act normal. So you wouldn't know that they won.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Well, look, I thought it was a partnership. The board operator, Izzy,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: for Mark Simone, just happened to work at the Wegmans
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: in Montvale where the winning ticket was sold. No doubt
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: a partnership between Natalie, who wasn't going to schlep all
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the way there, but probably figured, hey, that's a high-end district.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I'll get a ticket there because New Jersey, there's always
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the luck of the Irish in New Jersey and these lottos.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Could have been a partnership.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Have you ever been to the Wegmans in Montville? Yes.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: That's a yes. The hesitation is a yes.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I don't live far.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, really? And Wegmans is great, isn't it?
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: It's a great supermarket.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: See, there you go.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Lots of salad, lots of fruits and vegetables that you
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: love because she has to have her salad first. Remember,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: you've indicted yourself on this.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: What car did you drive in with today? Do you
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: have a new car?
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: No, I have a new phone, though.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, first step.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: I am still in my old Honda.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: And what would be your dream car if you could
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: buy a car in the next week?
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Anything but my old.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Top.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: So you do know, though, that Natalie, while you were
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: away those two days.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: I've heard, I've heard, I've heard.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: There were certain people who were contacting me and saying,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: this makes all the sense in the world.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: I am going to tell you the truth. If I
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: won that lottery.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I would not be here.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, Larry, that's hurtful.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: I would leave you a nice text. Maybe I'd call.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Maybe I'd even give you the first interview.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: But I wouldn't be waking up to come to work
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: at 3 o'clock in the morning.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: You notice through all the things that she said she
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: would do, there was nothing about money in that?
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, sure, sure, sure, sure.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, you'd share?
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: A little, yeah.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: I have a lot of people to share.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: With Christmas coming up, you could have been Santa Claus
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: to all of us. Yes, I could have.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: But I am not, so we can move on from that.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Well, wait a second. Larry, give us the update because
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: apparently if, in fact, you're not the winner, Natalie, with Izzy,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: who works at the Wegmans there in Montfield where the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: winning ticket was sold, if you're not, there's somebody out
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: there who is. And is there a chance, Larry, because
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: you're our lotto expert, our Powerball expert, that this person
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: may never surface, might have bought a ticket, it was
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: only one, And not even know they had it or
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: maybe discarded it in the garbage?
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: That has never happened with a big jackpot. But it's happened.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: It happens a lot. There are people that have won
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: $ 100, 000 that didn't come forward. And you have one year.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: You have one year to come forward or you lose
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the prize. But no, this person hasn't come forward yet.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. If I won... The first two
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: people I'd see would be an attorney and a financial advisor. Yes,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: for sure.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: But you know what?
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Let's go back to Izzy.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: A lot of people might not know Izzy because he's
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: a behind-the-scenes guy here at WOR. But I will tell you,
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: Izzy would be the person who would win, who would
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: keep coming to work. You wouldn't know because he comes
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: home with a smile every day. And he would quietly
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: probably help people out in the world.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Have you ever seen Izzy's Facebook?
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, Izzy is the most incredible person. And if he's public,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: you should follow Izzy.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: He's very religious, and he gives these inspirational sermons on
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: his Facebook page.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: He's the kind of person that makes you feel like
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: you're a bad person somehow.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Izzy's so good. When I was at WABC, when you
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: were there, I was doing the weekends, and every once
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: in a while when things would get really bad, I'd
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: ask Izzy, please... Just cheer us up. Give us something inspirational.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: And he would always start with brothers and sisters.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: He's a holy roller.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: But anyway, apparently that has not happened. What was the
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: winning prize again, Larry? How much money was on that ticket?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, man, off the top of my head.
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: It was in the 800s, and I think they were
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: coming home with somewhere around $ 365 million cash.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: That's crazy.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Pretty much on the money there, like you knew the
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: figures off the top of your head.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: You're the expert, and yet Natalie seemed to know the specificity. No, no,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: don't talk about Izzy. Let's talk about you. I'm deflecting, deflecting.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: This is camouflage.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Camouflage, you're coming in here trying to throw us off.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: So what will be the number on the check again?
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: When I see it, I'll let you know.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: By then, Natalie and her family would have moved to
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the west coast of Florida to be near your parents,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: your father, who's now mayor. No, he was.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: He was the first mayor of Estero, Florida, now retired.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: See? You see what I'm talking about, Larry?
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: And would have this short window where she wouldn't change
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: her phone number, where we would call and we'd get this. Hello? Hi, Natalie,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: it's Larry.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Hello? Hello?
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: I'd probably keep my phone number as a distraction, deflection.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: And then have a separate phone number.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: You seem to plan a lot of this out. You
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: would be having brunch every day with John Gambling, retired
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: from here, who you were a producer to for so
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: many years. He went down to Florida.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying that area, big WOR listenership. Really big.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: So somebody out there could be it.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Anyway, let me flip the script to you, Larry. I
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: know you had gone through a Herculean period of broadcasting
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: here from the pre-marathon, the marathon, the post-marathon to the pre-midterms, uh,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: midterm reporting on the night of the debacle. I'll use
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: debacle if that's okay with you. And then obviously everything thereafter.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: And we went through a period in which on Friday,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and by the way, you need to do a wellness
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: call if you can, Natalie, now that you're back to
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: a very dear colleague, uh, Oh, I heard.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Did you hear him on the air?
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: He was so depressed. He was. Yeah, he's one of
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: the people that you would think we should send somebody
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: over to check on him.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: He described the loss, the midterm loss for the Republicans
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: as apocalyptic. I thought for sure he was on his
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: way to the George Washington Bridge.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: And I kept looking for him to raise me up,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: you know, to say, you know, pull me out of
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: these doldrums.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Like, it's going to be OK.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: He was like in a deep darkness. Oh, yeah.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: He was.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Please just double check with him, Natalie. Then there was
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: DeSantis right out of the box. You know, he's running
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: for president. He called it an extinctionary moment, like as
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: if the GOP would be extinct. Others over the weekend
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: were saying it's like a media strike hit the GOP
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: across the nation.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: The hyperbole is so sickening. And what's the worst part
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: about it is that there are Republicans, as you mentioned,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: that are saying these things. And now with Rob, I
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: believe that he actually loses some money on this. So
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I can understand why Rob is so upset. With DeSantis...
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: he benefits from making it horrible. I mean, now he
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: is the savior that can come through the apocalypse and
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: save the Republican Party.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: You would have to admit, Larry, that even though a
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: month ago I said it would be a blue tsunami,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and that was the front page of the Post the
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: day after the election, that that's actually mild compared to
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: apocalyptic and an extinction and a meteor strike.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: It's not even the worst midterm defeat. It's far from
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: the worst midterm defeat. This has happened to almost every
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: president in the modern era. And so for all of
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: the sudden, for everybody to say, oh, this is the
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: biggest one ever. This is the earth moved. You know,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: it kind of sickens me because I think that, of course,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the media was going to. But even some Republicans have
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: fallen into the trap of saying, oh, it's a tsunami.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: It's the worst ever. This is earth shaking. Please, it's
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: nowhere near any of those things.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I must tell you, Larry, I had confided to Tom Cuddy,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: our program director, weeks ago that I was not listening
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: to talk radio or even the snippets of talk TV
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: any longer because, you know, it was an echo chamber.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: And I knew what was coming. I can't listen to
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: that propaganda machine. For me, this weekend was Liberation Day.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I love talk radio. I love talk TV. I saw
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: that some of these people were no longer genuflecting to Trump.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: You know, they didn't feel the need to say he
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: is the greatest president of all time, from Washington to
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: right now. Even you, Larry, to your credit, you said, no, no, no.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: He's not the greatest president of all time. I can
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: listen to talk radio and talk TV again. We can
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: get back to some normalcy, a little bit of dysfunction.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: But now... Normalcy.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: It's going to be the furthest thing from normalcy.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Well, in talk radio and talk TV, because now they
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: can be totally... focused instead of defending the indefensible at times,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: just attacking Hakeem Jeffries, the schmuck to putz, Chuck E.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Cheese Schumer and the new majority.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I feel liberated.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: And the other thing I feel liberated is I am
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: a rhino. Everybody knows I am the leader of the rhinos.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: They call me Republican in name only. I've never been MAGA.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I'm free to be a rhino again. And so is
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: everybody else out there who pretended that they weren't. Because
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: just like the Democrats have a two-party system under the tent,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: moderate Democrats, DSA, Republicans should have MAGA and should have rhinos.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: No, I think you're misinterpreting what they mean when they
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: say rhino. What? They mean you're actually a Democrat. They
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: don't mean that you're a Republican in any way. That
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: you're a Republican in name only because you were so
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: much against the Republican Party. but you like to hold
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: on to the name.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Well, we know DSA are really just socialists, so there's
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: room in the Republican Party for rhinos, and I declare
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: myself the leader of the rhinos.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: I'm so glad you're embracing it finally. Hey, guess what?
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: There's a new golf league. I know you're saying, oh,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: they've tried this before. This one's a little bit different.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: We'll explain when we come back. Plus, you have a
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: chance to see Tommy James and the Shondells at 825. Now,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: let's talk about LifeVac. Everybody else is. I mean, go
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: to Google. Just Google LifeVac. You'll see case after case
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: after case where LifeVac has saved a life just in
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: the last few months. There's been about a dozen of them.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: And every single time, it's a child. I've spent a
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: career covering this stuff, and it's heartbreaking when it's a child.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: And so choking is one of those incidents that can
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: turn into an emergency so quickly. And when it does,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: seconds matter. That's why I want to tell you about LifeVac.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: LifeVac is the first and only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: that can be used for second-line treatment when all the
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: recommended choking protocols, when you've tried everything else, they've been
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: followed without success. And here's what's remarkable. We're talking about
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: 7,000 lives worldwide that have been saved. Real people, real families,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: real second chances. Preparedness matters. Having the right tool nearby
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: can make all the difference in the world. So learn
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: more about LifeVac today at LifeVac.net. That's LifeVac.net. Visit LifeVac.net
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: and see how you can be ready when it counts.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: So let's be honest about the sport of golf.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: It is true.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Truly a rich person's sport. That's safe to say. The
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: price of entry is expensive. I mean, there's been some exceptions,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: but usually those people are sponsored or they have somebody
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: that pays for their entry fees and pays for them
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: to practice. But for the most part, it's white and
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: it is rich. So there's really interesting, a new league
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: being formed by, it's originally by the LGPA. It's some
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: of the people that have played golf for a long time,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: including the great Michelle Wee. And they had their first
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: match this weekend. And let me explain what they're doing.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: They're trying to break down golf barriers by making it
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: more accessible and And they're going to play all of
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: their matches indoors virtually. So, you know, if you ever
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: go out and you see the big screen and you
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: hit the ball into the big screen and it shows
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: you how long it was and how close it was,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: it's all computer generated. But there's human beings that hit
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: the ball. That's what they're going to do. And they
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: want to start a new golf league. They had their
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: first match this weekend. It was against the Los Angeles
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: club versus the New York club. And the Los Angeles
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: club won three to one. They play a total of
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: the best of five matches. Whoever gets three first wins.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: And people can watch it. So it's accessible now. You
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: don't have to pay the exorbitant fees to go to
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: a club and watch it. You don't have to be
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: kept back because you're not somebody. You don't have the
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: right name. Everybody can join in this. Everybody can watch it.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Here's Michelle Wee.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: I love traditional green grass golf. Obviously, I've made my
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: career there. But let's be real. The barriers of entry
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: are still pretty high when it comes to traditional golf.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: And I love that simulator golf kind of really widens
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: our view of golf. And it's easier to get to.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: So you could just go to a club.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: So these are simulators.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: You know, like you'll pay to go play a simulated
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: game of golf. far more cheaper than you would if
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: you had to go to a private uh you know
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: country club in order to do your nine holes or
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: 18 holes.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: And a lot less walking. You can still be fat
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: and play. You know, it's a little bit more fun.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Now, can you gamble on this?
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sure it's going to happen. If it grows,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: it can happen.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I noticed the Saudis who had set up their own
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: league to compete with the PGA, that completely collapsed. So
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: this is a good alternative. If you're no longer good
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: enough to be on the major links, you can still
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: be a player. in simulation.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: But what if you're so good in simulation? Let's just
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: say that there's a young black kid in Harlem that
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: wants to play and he goes to a club and
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: it doesn't cost that much and he finds out he's
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: really good at it. Is that then his entry to
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: regular golf?
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Hmm. It sounds like a Lee Trevino story.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll see. I mean, I think it's a good thing.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: I think it's wonderful that it's accessible and and that
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: everybody can play. And it's going to be fascinating to
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: see if this takes off. Right now it's just women,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: but I'm sure it's going to be men too. And
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: then we'll see what happens from there, how many people
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: get involved.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: You know, we need cemetery space, so maybe we can
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: pave over some of these golf courses and provide the
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: cemetery space that people need.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, no. The rich people need to play golf.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: They can play simulated golf.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Let's get some talkbacks.
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: Curtis, I got to admit, you're always right. And I
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: also would like to say in the second Trump term,
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: in the first four months, I thought he was the
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: greatest thing ever since sliced bread. I thought he was
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: going down with Reagan in Washington. But you kept to
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: your guns and said, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: He's a politician.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Don't trust.
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: Don't trust.
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: Curtis, as always, you were right.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Congratulations.
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: You won me over.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Please, no idolatry.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Well, that was sickening.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I was wrong about Natalie being the lottery winner. I've
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: been on a roll on a lot of things.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: You don't know if you've been wrong.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: You don't know.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow. Man, wow. Who was that? Is that somebody
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: in your organization? Is that another guardian angel that called in?
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: No, he's giving me props because I've been focused and
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I've been warning.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: I don't trust any politicians, any of them. You've been
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: wrong about a lot of things. You were right about
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: this election. I will give you props for that. You
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: were right on this election.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: And later on, I'm going to tell you how I
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: was right about the Jewish vote. Oh, they're going to
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: vote Republican.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: Not.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about that later.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Now let's get to the news at 6.30 with Daria Albinger.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Daria.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Morning, guys.
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: Chance for a shower with a high of 57 degrees.
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: A Middlesex County township is reporting a major ripoff. Cranberry
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: Township's mayor says someone stole a wire transfer for $ 26, 000,
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: which was intended for affordable housing. It happened back in September.
• 17:57
  Speaker 8: A judge is ordering the Mamdani administration to hand over
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: the names of certain residents in a Bronx homeless shelter
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: to ICE.
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: The ruling from U.S. District Judge Louis Kaplan said that
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: federal immigration authorities have a right to know the identifying
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: information despite the city's claims that it would violate their
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: sanctuary policies. ICE initially requested the names of everyone living
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: at the Bruckner shelter in Mott Haven. However, the agency
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: then moved to appoint a special advisor to target individuals
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: for deportation that have lengthy criminal records. It is unclear
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: if the city plans to appeal. I'm Lizzie Radabali, WOR News.
• 18:32
  Speaker 8: Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massey could introduce articles of impeachment against
• 18:36
  Speaker 8: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as early as this week, and
• 18:39
  Speaker 8: President Trump says that would be a mistake.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's guilty of two things, basically winning two wars,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: and the second war.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: We knocked out their nuclear capacity and probably saved Israel
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: and probably saved the Middle East.
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: But others say the Pentagon chief abused his power and
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: undermined national security. Charlie Kirk's widow is condemning comedian Dave
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: Chappelle for joking about her husband's killing. He reportedly made
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: the remarks during a performance Friday at Madison Square Garden,
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: saying that he felt better after Kirk was shot and
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: killed last year. Erica Kirk responded on social media that
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: political violence should never be celebrated or treated as a punchline.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: And the U.S.
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: Could lose its measles elimination status. A panel advising a U.N.
• 19:20
  Speaker 8: health agency is looking into recent cases and a decline
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: in vaccination rates under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: Giants and devils win, jets and nets lose. Next news,
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: 7 o'clock bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: WOR. The counts for victory in the election process continued
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: in M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I, Mississippi, and Alaska. We'll give you the snail-like
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: updates up next.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: What an amazing mess the Alaska Senate election is. So
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: you still have... Here's the results so far. And there's
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: something amazing that happened in this that I would love
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: somebody to explain to me. So Mary Peltola, the Democrat...
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: is taking on Dan S. Sullivan, and the S is
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: important because there's another Dan Sullivan running. Dan S. Sullivan
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: is the incumbent Republican senator. Mary Peltola was a congressperson,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: the only congressperson in Alaska, and she is running for
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: the Democratic Party. Right now, this is the vote. 102,962
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: for Mary Peltola. 102,325 for Sullivan. So we're talking about
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: 652 votes, or 57 votes. And there's a lot of
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: votes still out there. Let me tell you how many
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: votes are still out there. We've been telling you all along,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: and this has been almost every single day since the
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: counting started, We've been telling you every day it's 75%
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: of the vote in. Curtis, maybe you can explain this
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: to me. Now it's 74% of the vote in.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm not an expert on Alaska. In fact, it's
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: one of the few places in the United States I
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: haven't actually been to. But there was that guy you
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: found who was able to explain to us. Why things
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: move so slow and sometimes it's one step forward and
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: two steps backwards.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: This is Eric Croft, who is with the he's a
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Democrat with the Alaskan Election Board that's counting votes.
• 21:44
  Speaker 9: We're still counting up here. We take a kind of
• 21:47
  Speaker 9: different approach. We treat this process more like sex. Finishing
• 21:52
  Speaker 9: first and early is not the main goal here. We
• 21:56
  Speaker 9: prefer to take it slow, kind of do it right.
• 21:59
  Speaker 9: And hopefully at the end, everybody involved is satisfied.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: They will not be rushed. Alaska, they don't care what
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: we think. They think of themselves as a whole other country.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: I don't care how you do it on the mainland.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: This is the way we do it up here.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I would tell you, not knowing who this gentleman is,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: he smokes a lot of weed at night. I mean,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: was anybody more laid back? Take it slow. Take it nice.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Who cares? Eventually, somebody's going to win.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Is that eventually? Let me give a date certain.
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: November 25th is when the vote happens. The day after
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Thanksgiving Day, right? The day after Thanksgiving Day. Do they
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: break the wishbone and determine the winner? Now, let's talk
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: about something else. Nobody's probably going to get 50% of
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: the vote. Correct. And they made it that way. The Democrats,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: if you believe in the scheme that the New York
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Times uncovered, and everybody believes in it because they had
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: 12 sources, of course it happened, that Mary Peltola and
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: the Democrats went out and found another Dan Sullivan, Daniel J.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Sullivan.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: He's got well over 3,000 votes. So if it goes
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: to ranked choice voting, because they don't get 50%, You
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: would assume, and we heard an Alaskan voter that purposely
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: voted for him, even though he was a Democrat, knowing
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: the vote would go to Peltola. Then she wins because
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: of this scheme. Right now, the Justice Department has a lawsuit.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: The governor has an investigation. The House has an investigation.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: We may not know who the senator is from Alaska.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Until next year.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Well, remember, so that you can understand how ranked choice
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: voting works. So the fake Sullivan is last on the list.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: So all of the ranked choice votes that were made
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: by the fake Sullivan voters will be counted. Now, some
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: of them probably just voted for the fake Sullivan. So
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: there's nothing to throw to either of the other three.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: But a lot of them did vote for Peltola. They
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: actually told some of the pollsters who were outside. Say, yeah, yeah,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: my number second choice was Peltola. So she benefits from that.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: But Trump went off. He declared the Senate race over Sullivan,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the real Sullivan. The Senate is the winner. And he
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: also described the other Republican who's in a hanky. Whatever
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: the hell his name is, because there are technically two Republicans,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: one independent and a Democrat. And he says they're both
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: fraudulently in the race. But guess what, Mr. President? Doesn't matter.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: They're going to do it nice and slow and easy.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Like sex.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Like sex. It is incredible that it could get down to,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: you know what we always do at the Thanksgiving Day
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: dinner table? When you have a dispute with somebody, you say,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: let's grab the wishbone. And then you pull the wishbone.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: And whoever gets the wishbone right, they're the winner. Could be.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: It's going to be held up in court for some time.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: And the whole story is just absolutely fascinating.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: By the way, Kash Patel has summoned the FBI to
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: try to find the fake Solomon who is living in
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: that fishing village that cannot be reached any other way
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: than by plane or boat. It's near the Aleutian Islands.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: We haven't heard anything as to whether they found the
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: guy yet. He may be in the Democratic Witness Protection Program.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: The interesting thing is that every once in a while
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: he calls a newspaper. Yes. Like in Anchorage and is
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: interviewed by them. And he denies the whole thing, by
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: the way. He denies that he got any payment. He
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: denies that Democrats came and talked to him. So... He
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: could be in some trouble.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: You see, that's the key to this. Everybody's saying, well,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: you should get locked up. If they can prove after
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: exhaustive investigation, they put all these subpoenas out. Part of
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: it is to sweat people down, including him. If he
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: received any kind of a gratuity, if he got sweetened up,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: if he was an all paid vacation to Cancun or
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: he got money, that's a felony. He'll obviously cop a
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: plea and then he'll point the fingers to whether Schumer
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: at the national level or Peltola at the Alaska Democratic
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Party level. That's a felony crime.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and there will be. There's an investigation right now.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, the FBI is up there
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: right now. So it is going to be fascinating. But
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: the idea that this could determine whether Schumer stays on
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: as Speaker.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, it can. But meantime, let me flip the script.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Remember how I've been warning people about the importance of
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: filling out an affidavit? Now let me just sort of
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: go back on that. A lot of times you go
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: into your local polling location and they can't find your
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: name in the election district, or maybe you changed your
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: address and it didn't get into the computer, and you
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: get all upset, and in a huff and a puff,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: you leave without taking the option of filling out what
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: is available to everybody, an affidavit ballot. Now, many times
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: you think, what a waste of time. This is just
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: here to placate me, calm me down. Hey, I'm not
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: getting a vote. Let's look to Mississippi. Remember how I
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: told you how important the affidavit votes are? There is
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: 2,500 votes now separating the Democratic challenger from the Republican U.S. Senator.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: There are 20,000 affidavit ballots still to be counted by
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: the election committee, which does it by hand, meaning slow.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: So if you happen to show up at a polling
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: location in Mississippi and you didn't have your ID, you
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: know how Democrats, you know, sometimes you forget your ID. Well, well,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: they they they find you. They tell you you got
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: five days to come back to your clerk, show the ID,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: and your ballot is cured. There are those that voted
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: in the wrong ED. They went to the wrong spot.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: They didn't know that it was changed. You get to
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: cure that. Or you moved without changing your address. You
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: get to cure that. 20,000 affidavit ballots. Imagine. Imagine. And
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: there's only 2,500 now that separate the potential winner from
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: the loser. And there are still 19 House seats across
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: the United States, Larry, that are too close to call,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: which could come down to, yes, the affidavit ballot. So,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, I know it's very frustrating. It's happened
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: to me. It's happened to me, right? You go into
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: your polling location, if that's how you vote, and then
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: if things go awry, fill out the affidavit ballot. In
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: a very close race, it could determine who wins and
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: who loses, and your vote then will count.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: The thing I want to know, does Cindy Hyde-Smith actually exist?
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: We never see her. We never hear from her. She
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: really hasn't. She didn't. She refused all debates. She didn't
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: campaign that much. And now she's not doing interviews. Scott,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: call him. You see everywhere the Democrat that is running.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: You see him everywhere. He's being interviewed. He's demanding of.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: that they oversee the count. Cindy Hyde-Smith, nothing. Nothing.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Well, let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, iHeartRadio wants
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: you to know about an exciting game on Monday Night
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Football this week. The Buffalo Bills take on the Minnesota
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Vikings in a battle of one-loss teams. Monday Night Football,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: live from Minneapolis. 8.15 tonight, only on ESPN.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Up next.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: what is this? The cranberry sauce scam?
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: That would be a horror before Thanksgiving and Christmas. Larry's
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: going to break this down with Natalie. Cranberry, New Jersey
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: just acknowledged, hey, we lost $ 26 million. Why didn't you
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: tell your constituents before the election?
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Up next. A scandal, political scandal in the small town
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: of Cranberry, New Jersey. That is in Middlesex County. It's
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: got a population of about 14,000 people. They have a
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: town council. of five and they have a mayor and
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: they had reelection recently and the mayor won reelection and council,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: which used to be split three, two, three Democrats, two
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Republicans is now all Democrats. They, they swept the board
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: in Cranberry, New Jersey, but it turns out those same
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: Democrats that were in charge of the municipality. Just lost
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: $ 26 million the week before.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: What?
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: $ 26 million on September 28th in a wire transfer. Now,
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: I will say, when they realized what was going on,
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: they transfer it, they froze $ 17. 3 million of it. But
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: all the rest is still unaccounted for. And they said nothing. Nothing.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: They hid this until after the elections. when Mayor Nierim
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: came out on behalf of the Township Committee and said this,
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: we recognize the news of this magnitude will understandably raise
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: questions and concerns among our residents. Those concerns are legitimate
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: and we take them seriously now. We take them seriously now.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: We didn't take those concerns seriously the week before, but
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: now we are taking them very seriously. So a task
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: force involving local, county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: is investigating the theft and working to recover the funds.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: All that doesn't matter whatsoever. If they find the funds,
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: if there's an investigation, if people get arrested... That's great.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: That's wonderful. That doesn't change the fact that they hid
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: this story. They hid this news. They didn't alert the
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: public until after the election. That's what should be investigated
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: and or they should hold another election.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: That's why these local municipalities, towns, villages, they have the
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: old town hall meetings. It's mandatory. It's built into their
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: rules and regulations, you know, the Robert Rules of Order,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: and the gadflies show up, and the politicians hate the
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: gadflies and the people who do their due diligence and
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: research and hammer them at these meetings. I'm sure, Natalie,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: you are used to this also, probably in your town
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey, where the politicians, both sides, hate that
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: these people show up all the time and force them
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: to address things that are either rumors or real.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: The cockiest people are the people in the small towns
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: because they have complete control. I've covered them time and
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: time and time again. They don't care who you are.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: They don't care that you come from the network. They
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: don't care what you think you deserve. They keep things
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: to themselves.
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: Now, $ 26 million missing. What did you say the budget
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: of this town was?
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: $ 16 million. The budget is $ 16 million, but they bring in,
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: I think, $ 32 million a year in revenue. So they
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: were spending some money they really didn't have to spend.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: So even, let's just say they have a $ 16 million budget.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Let's just say it ends up they lose $ 7 million.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: You know, that's a big chunk of their overall budget
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: they're going to lose. Now, listen to this, too. There
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: is a criminal investigation taking place right now. It remains active.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: By the way, the criminal investigation started before the election.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: And the township still says it can't share any additional details. Oh,
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: come on.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: That's nonsense. Now, by the way, it was bifurcated at
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: that point. This election was part of that blue tsunami.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Now it's all Democrats. That's why you can't have a
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: uniparty system, a one-party system. But what were the two
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Republicans asleep at the wheel? You know how these small
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: towns are. Everybody knows everything.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: They're all a bunch of yenters. They're like washwomen. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: What were these? What were these two? See no evil,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: hear no evil, speak no evil. These Republicans who lost
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: their reelection. How come they didn't talk up?
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but we just got this announcement. The township.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: has outlined plans to strengthen financial and administrative oversight. Oh, good. Oh,
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: there you go. Now everything's okay.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: You know, Larry, as a sign of the times, why
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: don't they just blame a hack on the North Koreans, right?
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Like Binance just lost $ 6 billion. You know, the crime
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: coin operation, Bitcoin operation, they lost $ 6 billion to the
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: North Koreans. Why don't they just blame, oh, it's a
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: North Korean hat. It's somebody in that room.
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: How did they think they'd get away with $ 26 million?
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: About hiding it?
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: Yes, or taking it.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Well, they're the ones that announced it afterwards, which is bizarre.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, so what you're doing is you're admitting I
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: know about this. You know, if I was going to
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: do something like this, if I was going to lie
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: about this, I'd go, what?
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: What?
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: That happened?
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Now, there's a real good chance because the Democrats were
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: swept into office. The two Republicans lost. So it's all
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Democrats there. I'll call it cranberry sauce because this is
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: like cranberry sauce. Do we really think the Democratic attorney
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: general in New Jersey is going to go really hard
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: on this? You really think they want to implicate their own? Normally,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: they find a way to make it go away without
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: implicating any of the key people involved.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: Well, this is pretty hard to hide. This one's difficult
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: to hide. By the way, the police chief, Giuseppe DeSera,
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: says he has kept the township committee informed of developments
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: in township employees' lives. have cooperated fully with law enforcement
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: since the investigation started. So he's covered his own butt. Hey, listen,
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: I told everybody, don't blame me or the police investigation.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: I told everybody.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: You know how these small towns, these villages and municipalities are.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Everybody's related to one another through marriage, as you know.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Don't go stop.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: I'll bet you police chief Giuseppe is related to some.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Of these people. Don't you remember? It's a big city bias.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: They're all in Breds. They're all in Breds down there.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you a question and maybe our
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: listeners should talk back. Remember that famous Sylvester Stallone movie
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: about all the small towns in Bergen County? And the
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: corruption there. Hopefully somebody will remember that. It shows you
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: how hopelessly corrupt they are. I'm so glad you went
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: to that movie. I thought you were going to go
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: to Deliverance. That's when you think it's small towns. No, no, no,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: not quite that extreme. Anyway, up next, the president seemed
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: to offer an olive branch on his 60 Minutes interview
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: that aired last night that was filmed on Friday, but
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: a little glitch after the 7 o'clock news.
