Hour 3: Jack Smith on Capitol Hill · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you watched or listened to or
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: heard about any of the, it might be a pre-trial hearing,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: it's supposed to be a pre-trial hearing, but we don't
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: know if there's going to be another trial right now,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: because so many bizarre things happened in the Lindsay Clancy
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: hearing yesterday, starting with the fact that a guy that
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I really think is absolutely insane now is Kevin Reddington,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: who got up, And had the gumption, had the gall
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: to say all charges should be thrown out because there's
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: no proof that she did anything. Except for the fact
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: that she admitted to it. Except for the fact he
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: admitted to it. And except for the fact that the
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: DNA was found on the elastic that the kids were
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: strangled with. Other than that, I guess there's no evidence.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: It was not even a horrendous investigation. There was no investigation.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: This entire case is based on speculation. Where is the admission?
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Where does she say that she did this? And what's
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: most chilling is the fact that when she comes out
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: of this obvious coma that she is in, That when
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: she comes out of it, you want to hear the
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: testimony from the psychiatrist and from the doctors at Brigham
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: and Women's Hospital. She was told what happened.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: She had no memory of what happened. Well, she got
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: a memory by trial time. Because she said she did it.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: You said she did it. It is the craziest thing, Curtis.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is a Hail Mary pass. I understand.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I understand they're trying anything. But I think they threw
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: everybody so much, they didn't even get to, is there
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: going to be another trial?
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: But it's sort of like, if you put him on
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: the witness stand right now, let's say a special hearing,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: let's put Defense Counsel Kevin Reddington on the witness stand,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: and the DA said, Remember, you acknowledged that your client.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Did these things.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Didn't you? No.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Here, in the court transcript, you know, the stenographer, you
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: acknowledged that. You said, basically, let's move on to other things.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: We're going to determine whether she gets criminally charged and
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: goes to jail. or goes into a psychiatric facility for
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: continued care.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: That was already agreed upon. I know. It's nuts. It
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: was so bizarre. I'm getting to think that there's something
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: wrong with this guy. I mean, this is probably the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: last trial he'll ever have in his career. He's up
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: there in age.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: He's 75. He was lovable in the first trial, remember.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: He's going out on this.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Wow. He wanted this to make him famous, and it
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: didn't happen for him. And now, I don't know if
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: you heard, but the attorney representing the holdout juror, Michael Desronville,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: is talking about suing him.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Because he said so many things outside the courtroom, but
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: inside the courtroom, Reddington went on a long diatribe about
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: that and said, I don't know what he's talking about.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I never said anything at the courtroom. We have video.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: We have video of you live on television and you
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: outside the courtroom blasting him. Saying he lied, saying he
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: had reasonable doubt, saying he did this on purpose, saying
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: he's a plant, saying he had a past criminal record
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and shouldn't have been on the jury.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: No.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Is this guy crazy or is he just a liar?
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Well, if you notice, as he was ranting and railing
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: about the holdout juror, the DA said, you know, we
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: really want to impose a gag order on him. And
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: the judge said, well, we don't come back together until
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: November 2nd. That'll be our return follow-up hearing. But they
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: want to basically tie him up, gag him, render him
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: incapable of saying anything outside of a courtroom. And the
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: judge was good. He listened and he didn't go, what
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: are you talking about? He didn't do any of that.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: He said, I'll I'll look at your motions and we'll
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: decide on this later, which is exactly what he should do.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: But he is crazy. And I'll tell you what, this juror,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: if you listen to his attorney, is going to sue him.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: Kevin Reddington is just upset that he lost out on
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: his legacy moment. He was one vote away from winning
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: a trial that would have been the capstone of his career,
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: and he didn't get it. And he lost his mind
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: because of it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: He lost his mind because of it. I think he
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: might be right. He lost his mind.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Waiting in the shadows, another group of lawyers who practice
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: their martial art all day, I sue, are ready to
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: sue the hospitals and doctors who gave Lindsay Clancy care. Now,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: assume that there's a settlement or they win. Who does
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: that money go to? I mean, who are they suing
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: on behalf of? The former husband has no children. All
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: three children she murdered. So who would that money go to?
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Maybe it'll go to the defense fund of all the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: women are now committing copycat killings and killing their kids
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: because of. this trial, which was a scam, including a
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: woman in Chicago right now who hung her two-year-old from
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the rafters. I mean, listen, this is insane. Everything that's
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: happening right now is insane. And it almost seems like
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: it's a TV show, that it's not real. And in
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the circus of all this, and I keep coming back
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: to this because nobody else seems to, in the middle
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: of all this, all we should be caring about is
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: that three young children lost their lives and they were
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: strangled to death. And that seems to be forgotten in
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: all of this, in the drama of the story between
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the lawyers and, and the women and, and fighting for
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a greater cause. No, that's not the issue. The issue
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: is these three young children. And I wish the media
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: wouldn't fall for this junk. Now, Two things that stuck
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: out to me. Lindsay Clancy had been very stoic in
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: all the previous court appearances, hearings, and such. She smiled
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: yesterday for the first time. She was smiling. She was
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: probably laughing at her attorney.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Number two, I thought the judge, and I hope he
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: does this, by November 2nd when they return for the
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: follow-up hearing, I hope the judge, who said he's considering
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: making the jury notes public... does that because then it
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: won't be the 11 jurors saying one thing or half
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: of them. And then the holdout jurors saying, well, we'll
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: at least see what some of the jury notes were about,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: you know, help us. It's almost like putting a puzzle together.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: you know, based on what everybody said, what is the
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: evidence taking place. And meantime, the old codger there, Kevin Reddington, said, well,
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't be ready for trial until June. My God,
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: at this rate, you're the one who's going to be
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: locked up in the psychiatric hospital in the rubber room. Man,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: he just went nuts yesterday. It's like saying to somebody,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: you got to be kidding. You do realize you spent
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: six weeks Making the case that, yeah, my client is guilty.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: She killed the three children. But there were circumstances.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Right. And now all of a sudden he's saying, where's
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: the DNA? Where's the fingerprint evidence? Where's the different police
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: department investigations that took place?
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: It's sort of like, oh, my God. Here's the weird
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: thing about the judge saying he's going to release the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: jury notes. You know, in New York, it's not allowed.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: It's all confidential. In New Jersey and Pennsylvania and most states,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: it must not be in Massachusetts. I mean, I think
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: this judge has been pretty good and must not be
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: in Massachusetts today. I would think that would be a
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: violation to release that. I would love to see them, too.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I'm with you. I would love to see them. But,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: you know, if you want to serve on a jury
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: and everything you say now on some cases that could be.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: murderers and could come back to haunt you someday. You
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: want what's supposed to be private put into public domain?
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: There's part of me that says that's just wrong and
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: they should have a law saying what happens in the
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: jury room stays in the jury room. But this case
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: is a circus right now. And this judge has got
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: to bring things under control.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Imagine this guy... Shout it out. First thing in the hearing,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: where's the evidence?
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: I know. That she did this. There is no evidence.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I just played it a second ago. Yeah, I know.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Oh my God. Where have you been these last few months? No, he's, listen,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: he's desperate at this point, which leads me to believe
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: his desperation in that motion leads me to believe that
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: his talks with the prosecution are about a possible plea
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: deal are not going well. And that's exactly what I expected.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I expect there's going to be a retrial, and I
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: expect that Lindsay Clancy is going to be convicted of something.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I don't think she's going to get first degree. They
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: may not even charge her again with first degree. But
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: she's going to get something, because I think this was
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: just a runaway jury. This was an aberration. We'll see.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: It's all going to play out. Anything can happen on
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: this case. We saw that yesterday.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: She is entitled to the counsel of her choice. He's saying,
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: I don't have a minute. to breathe between now and
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: June 2nd.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Sorry, judge. So does this mean that all.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: The trial analysts, all the reporters, you know, would love,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: you know, another six week or maybe eight week ride?
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: We're just going to have to wait possibly till June
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: the 2nd if the DA actually decides to go for
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: a second round of prosecution.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to take a long time because, you know,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: they start everything over again. And no, justice moves slow.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: You know that. There's going to be these depositions all
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: over again and jury selection all over again. So it's
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: a shame. And in the meantime, let's just let's end
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: this with remembering the three lives that were lost. When
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: we come back, I'll tell you what. There was a
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: high school football team that had a national record that
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: just ended, and they are on Long Island. That's all
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say because I want to talk about
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: it when we come back. Well, the longest winning streak
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: in the country for high school football has come to
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: an end. Listen to this. Garden City on Long Island.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: They had a 68-game winning streak. Dating back to 2019,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: November of 2019. And they lost it over the weekend.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: And now the longest winning streak in the area, at least,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: belongs to Massapequa, who beat them. But man, was it
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: a game. And some of the people that cover high
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: school sports says it was the best game they ever saw.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: 2019.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: So the seniors.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Would be 25 years old now.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Very good. Yeah, that's exactly right. It's amazing. 68 games
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: is amazing. I don't even know what the record is now,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: but who cares? This game, so it was tie, 14
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: to 14. And Garden City had the ball and they
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: were marching. And then there was an interception by Massapequa
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and there were only seconds left. And then there was
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: a game-winning game 29-yard touchdown from Dylan Malaglio, who is
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the quarterback. Excuse me, Luke Gargilo, who is the quarterback
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: to Dylan Malaglio for 29 yards and a touchdown. And
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: it was an incredible touchdown. It wasn't in the end zone.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: It was about at 15 yards, and he broke a
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: tackle and got in. So there you go. They have
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: now won Massapequa. Now we have to watch them. They
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: have won 26 games in a row.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Well, see, you mentioned the two guys had Italian last names.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: That's matzo pizza out there. Jews and Italians live together.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: But the other striking point of this is I was
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: looking at Long Island Newsday front page the other day.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: 30 percent of high schools. do not have a football
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: team any longer. They can't get players out on Long Island. Stronghouse,
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: both in Nassau and Suffolk. I remember I played Brooklyn Prep.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: I played freshman. I played JV. We'd go out there
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: to play St. Agnes, Rockville Center, Chaminade, Oyster Bay.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I remember St. Dominic's. They crushed us because they would
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: train all year long. Imagine.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: They're 30% of the teams are not playing now because
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: they can't get enough players. And some of the parents,
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: which I can't figure out, are saying, we don't want
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: you playing, you know, tackle football, smash mouth football.
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: We want you playing, which is big out there, lacrosse.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Now with lacrosse, they take those sticks, they hit each
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: other in the head, even though they have helmets and
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: the kneecaps. I'm saying to myself, Wait a second. That's
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: like jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Yeah.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Well, it's not exactly football. Still much worse, still much worse.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: And they do, they have a real problem. I mean,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: the fact that there are so many concussions and if
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: you continue to play, if you continue to play since
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: high school, it's like 80% have some problems. So I
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: can understand parents who did that. My son played football,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: but he quit because he got it. He had a
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: concussion and he also had a serious back injury. It it's,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Too violent of a game, and that's why so many
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: are playing soccer.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Are you telling me it's going to be replaced by
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Tom Brady's flag football?
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Say it ain't so, Larry. Hey, listen. I have a
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: granddaughter who is one of the best in the country
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: in flag football, so I'm hoping for it. I want
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: it to happen. Let's go to some talkbacks. Natalie Migliore
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: is back, and people noticed.
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: I'm wondering how long it took Natalie Migliore to get
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: rid of her accent.
• 14:37
  Speaker 9: One minute.
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: Two weeks around Curtis and she sounds more New York
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: than I think.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Have a great day. Oh, that's true.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Although you got to watch Eating the Zeppelis with me
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: at the San Gennaro Festival. You think she's got a
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: hardcore accent. Man, it was really hardcore there at San Gennaro.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: It comes out more during the Beat on the Street.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: If you hear her reports, no accent. She comes out
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: here and talks. By the way, we got to get
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: cameras in this studio just for her. That is a ballet.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: She's fun to watch. Oh, my God. She puts everything
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: into it.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: My first cup of coffee, you're not going to like
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: it because it really tastes like coffee.
• 15:21
  Speaker 8: That big orange and brown can of Sanka. My mother
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: used to make it all the time.
• 15:28
  Speaker 10: Wow.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: The only nice thing about that is it's only up
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: from there. Like everything you've had since then has been amazing.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: And the instant, the worst. Sink instant, it's like liquid tar.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: But right now at 8.30, let's get the news with Daria.
• 15:43
  Speaker 11: Sunny and warmer today. Clouds rolling in this afternoon. High
• 15:46
  Speaker 11: 75 degrees. He may have something to do with it.
• 15:50
  Speaker 11: That's what some investigators are saying about the victim in
• 15:53
  Speaker 11: a deadly accident on an A train this week. And
• 15:56
  Speaker 11: here's what they're leaning toward.
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: Video from Brooklyn's Utica Avenue subway station Monday shows Yaw
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: Bohine being dragged into a wall, then onto the tracks.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: after what looked like his blue plastic shopping bag got
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: caught in the subway's door. He was not hit by
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: the train. Sources tell NBC News New York the 57-year-old
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: may have refused to let go of the bag even
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: after he was being dragged. They're also checking to see
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: if the bag got caught on his wrist and he
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: could not break free, or if his foot got caught
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: between the train and the platform trapping him. Andrew Whitman,
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: WOR News.
• 16:32
  Speaker 11: The Pentagon is making some big cuts to its senior
• 16:35
  Speaker 11: officer ranks. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is expected to announce
• 16:39
  Speaker 11: today a 20% reduction in the number of positions that
• 16:42
  Speaker 11: are reserved for admirals and generals. It's expected to come
• 16:46
  Speaker 11: during the State of the Force address today that he'll
• 16:48
  Speaker 11: give at Quantico. The damage from the weekend nor'easter may
• 16:51
  Speaker 11: have been worse in some places than initially thought, especially
• 16:56
  Speaker 11: on the Jersey Shore and on Long Island, where a
• 16:58
  Speaker 11: concert at Jones Beach tonight has been cancelled.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I've got a spoiler alert for you.
• 17:09
  Speaker 11: A beloved character is going to be killed off in
• 17:11
  Speaker 11: the episode that airs tonight, or today, I guess, that
• 17:15
  Speaker 11: comes out right after midnight, so you could say today.
• 17:17
  Speaker 11: Season 4, the popular sports comedy, premiered last month with
• 17:21
  Speaker 11: all of its famous cast members returning, including Jason Sudeikis
• 17:24
  Speaker 11: as the American coach of the British soccer team. All
• 17:27
  Speaker 11: we are being told at this point is that the
• 17:31
  Speaker 11: character dies unexpectedly.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Love to wait and see.
• 17:34
  Speaker 11: Yankees win game one of their AL wildcard series against Boston.
• 17:38
  Speaker 11: Game two is tonight. The Liberty upsets top-ranked Minnesota to
• 17:42
  Speaker 11: move ahead in the WNBA playoffs, and the Rangers open
• 17:45
  Speaker 11: their season with a loss to Boston. The Islanders are
• 17:47
  Speaker 11: in Toronto tonight. Next news, 9 o'clock, bulletins at once.
• 17:50
  Speaker 11: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Daria, and congratulations to Melissa Bongiorni
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: from Bridgeport, Connecticut, who just won a pair of tickets
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: to see Stevie Wonder's sold-out Songs in the Key of
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Life 50th Anniversary Concert. What a show it's going to
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: be at Madison Square Garden, November 19th. You've got another
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: chance to win tomorrow at 825. Well, the special prosecutor
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: who looks like the Grim Reaper, Jack Smith, was in
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: front of Congress yesterday. Remember, he was trying to put
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump in jail and failed. Well, now they're trying
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: to put him in jail. We'll hear about the hearing next. Also,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about LifeVac. You know, we had
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Arthur Lee in here who invented LifeVac and now has
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: a company and is trying to get LifeVac in schools,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: in restaurants all across the country. While he was here,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: he looked at his phone and another life was saved.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: They're coming up on 4,000 children's lives saved. Choking is
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: one of those moments that can happen when you don't
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: expect it. And it can happen to anybody, a child,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: a parent, a grandparent, when it does seconds matter. That's
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: why I want to tell you about LifeVac. LifeVac is
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: the first and only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device to be
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: used for second-line treatment when recommended choking protocols have been
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: followed without success because The Heimlich doesn't always work, especially
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: with children. And here's what's remarkable. LifeVac has helped, I
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: said 4,000 children, 6,000 lives worldwide. That's not just a number.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: That's real people, real second chances. Preparedness matters. Having the
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: right tool nearby can make all the difference in the world.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: So learn more about LifeVac today at LifeVac.net. That's LifeVac.net.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Visit LifeVac.net and see how you can be ready when
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: it counts. You'll remember special prosecutor Jack Smith, the hitman
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: for the Biden administration and the Democrats who tried to
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: put Donald Trump in jail to prevent him from running
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: in 2026. It was.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: It was an aberration. Now, he will say from he'll
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: say he did nothing wrong every single time he's interviewed.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: He did nothing wrong. And yet he illegally got some
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: of the text messages of senators who had nothing to
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: do with the investigation. He illegally had people followed. He
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: illegally got all the donors' checks from people who were
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: giving to the Republican Party. What did that have anything
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: to do with his investigation? It was all completely political,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: and he belongs in jail. And so they're coming now
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: towards charges against him. First thing is the hearing in
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: front of the Senate to try to get him to
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: make a couple of mistakes. And the, I'll tell you what,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: the Republican senators, they had at him.
• 21:00
  Speaker 9: When you went to Judge Boasberg, you didn't even tell
• 21:04
  Speaker 9: him you were seeking the phone records of members of Congress,
• 21:08
  Speaker 9: did you?
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Because you knew he wouldn't agree.
• 21:12
  Speaker 9: He would say, hey, counselor, anybody who knows a law
• 21:15
  Speaker 9: book from a J.Crew catalog knows that this violates the Constitution.
• 21:20
  Speaker 9: But you didn't tell him.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Did you?
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, illegal action after illegal action after illegal action, and
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: now he is there as a prelude to him being charged,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: I hope.
• 21:31
  Speaker 10: You can sigh all you like. It's a very simple question.
• 21:34
  Speaker 10: You know damn well you did. You've been questioned about
• 21:37
  Speaker 10: the checks that you guys got.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: You know the answer.
• 21:41
  Speaker 10: So why don't you answer the question? Did your team
• 21:45
  Speaker 10: obtain donor and fundraising information?
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: It's a yes. You can say yes.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: I do not recall the attachments to specific superiors.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: He's such a slime. He is such a slime. They
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: had the checks. They were showing him what he did,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: and he was still denying it. Now, these are some
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: of the best moments. The Republicans had some great moments.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Senator Schmidt from Missouri. Not the best senator from Missouri.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: That's Hawley. Yeah, no, you're right. Hawley was really good. Oh, man,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: he was intense. He's a great inquisitioner.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: But this guy was setting him up for a perjury trap,
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: because that's why Fauci the last time, remember, with Rand Paul,
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: took the Fifth Amendment, because they don't want to face
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: a perjury rap. So he figured, we got him. We
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: got the text messages from Jack Smith and his colleagues
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: about going to a basketball game.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Well, let's hear him. He can set it up.
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: Did you go to an NBA game between the Golden
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: State Warriors and the Atlanta Hawks on February 3, 2024?
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: What city would that be in?
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: Atlanta.
• 22:54
  Speaker 8: No.
• 22:55
  Speaker 7: Okay. So your testimony today is that you did not
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: go to a Hawks game on February 3, 2024. Is
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: that correct?
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: I have no recollection of that.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: Is it your testimony that you were not in Atlanta
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: on February 3, 2024?
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: No.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Let me just give you a little context.
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: The day before Fannie Willis came clean with her affair
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: with the prosecutor, you know the Atlanta prosecutor that was
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: also trying to get Trump? The next day, were you
• 23:22
  Speaker 7: in Atlanta?
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he thought he had him. He thought he had
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: him on perjury.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Right, but you see, aiding and abetting him, his wingman,
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised, was Senator Kennedy of Louisiana. He's holding up
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: the board with all the text messages going between Jack
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Smith and his colleagues.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: You're going to the game. You're going to the game tonight.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden, obviously somebody didn't do
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: proper research.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: If this is the correct basketball game, I recall going
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: to a University of Maryland basketball game where Caitlin Clark
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: was playing.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Different state.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: Right around that time. And the Marshal Service was there
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: with me. You could check if that was the exact date.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: It was Maryland playing Iowa, I think, February 8th. 2024,
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: but again, you can check that out if that's what
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: we're talking about.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: They're looking now to check it.
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: Could it then be that University of Iowa is the Hawkeyes?
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: Is that it?
• 24:25
  Speaker 11: And maybe before we show this kind of thing.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Because it's the Atlanta Hawks is the professional team and
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Iowa's team are the Hawkeyes, so somebody who's trying to
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: throw him a save line and say, hey, maybe you
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: just got these two things mixed up.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but Caitlin Clark, remember, was Miss, I mean, the
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: number one NCAA female basketball player at that time. Of course,
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: he's going to be there if he could get tickets.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: But that was so embarrassing that all of a sudden,
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Senator Schmidt packed up his information, got up, and he said,
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: I've had enough of this committee, and they continued on.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: It was a four-hour meeting. grueling cross-examination. Some really good
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: stuff came to the surface. I hope they do nail
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: this guy because in addition to Republicans and donors and
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: elected officials, congressmen and women and senators, he also got
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: information from some Democrats and some media outlets in which
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: they were going back and forth with some of the
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: elected officials. He was basically trolling. You know, when you
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: go out to fish and you just throw the net out.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: And then remember, he was exchanging with his colleagues and
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: laughing about it.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: He wasn't just trolling. I mean, he was getting information
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: that the Democratic National Committee and the Biden administration wanted,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: whether it had anything to do with the investigation or not.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: So it wasn't like it was just getting everything, hoping
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: to find something. They wanted specific things, especially that donor's information.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: And if I was every one of those donors, I
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: would be suing them right now. You know what his
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: excuse was?
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: He said, We wanted to make sure that Donald Trump,
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: meaning Donald Trump the person, after he was out of office,
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: was not taking that money for his personal use.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Come on! Well, then why did you go after all
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: the text messages of all the senators? It's bizarre. It
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: was such a wide net, and it was so unconstitutional,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: and it's so illegal. Forget the politics of it for
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: a second. This should never happen. If you allow a
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: president or a party... to sick a special prosecutor who
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: they brought, remember, from the Hague, from the World Court
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: in the Hague, to come here and specifically go after
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: him as a hitman, then we're going to be lost
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: as a country. We're a communist country at that point.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what, you were talking about that
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: back and forth between Smith and Schmidt. If you want
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: to see a great meme... Go online and look at
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Senator Katie Britt from Alabama, who is like horrified when
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: this is happening because she's feeling so bad.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: I want to bet that many of the staff members
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: of Senator Schmidt of Missouri are getting a tongue lashing today.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: You made me look like a jerk. Anyway, up next,
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: I found out yesterday. At the 20th anniversary of city
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: and state. Great publication. I was there to celebrate their existence.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: That believe it or not, today on the floor of
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: the city council, Larry, we were talking about this yesterday,
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: the tragic death of the 50-year-old woman on 34th Street
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: hit by the pickup truck as she was doing deliveries.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: There are going to be 23 separate bills.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Introduced on the floor of the New.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: York City Council today about reining in e-bikes, scooters, and mopeds.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Wait till you hear what that encompasses, but more importantly,
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: what it doesn't encompass. And starting Monday, this Monday, WOR
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: will give you nine chances every weekday to score a
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: grand in your hand. Listen for the keyword every hour
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: from 9 a.m. till 5 p.m. Enter it on our website,
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: and you could win $ 1, 000 starting this Monday. The last night, Larry,
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: and I'm a tried and true Yankee fan, I wanted
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: to watch that amazing first game victory, Yankees over the
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Red Sox.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Yankees win! Yankees win! Yankees win!
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: On to game two tonight at Yankee Stadium. But I
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: had an invitation from Jeff Colton. who is the executive
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: director of City and State. It's a publication. They were
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: celebrating their 20th anniversary. And if you want to know
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: anything going on locally in the city of New York
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: or in the state of New York, that's the go-to publication.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: And Jeff Colton is like one of the best. In fact,
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: did a feature. We may want to run a link, Natalie,
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: to this feature. I do an analysis of Eric Adams'
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Swagger Man with No Plan, Partying to the Break of Dawn.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: But not all negative. Some positive, too.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: We may want to do a link on that because
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: starting Friday, his cronies start going on trial for corruption.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: Frank Caron for stealing money from the migrant shelter funds
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: and his brother. But all of a sudden, people are
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: coming up to me, lobbyists, city council people. Curtis, you
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: know what's going on tomorrow in city council? They're putting
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: out onto the floor, first time in history this has
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: ever happened, 23 separate bills at the same time. Now, Larry,
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: whoever is the Speaker, they control that, whether it's in
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: a state legislature, in the House of Representatives, that Speaker Johnson,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: he controls that, and Julie Menon controls it as the
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: Speaker of the City Council. When you allow 23 separate
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: bills to be introduced simultaneously about reining in the excesses
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: of e-bikes, scooters, and mopeds, it means that you don't
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: have one solid bill that you can coalesce around and
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: actually resolve the problem, which is you're not forcing them
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: to have license plates. You're not forcing them to have
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: driver's licenses. You're not forcing them to drive 15 miles
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: and less on the roadway. Some of them are going
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: 40 miles or more. And I've made that argument. You
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: see them wearing military helmets because they know they're going
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: to crash.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Let me ask you a question about all of
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: those bills, because I don't know how city council works.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: You probably know that better than I do. I do
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: know how state legislators work and I do know how
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: assemblies work and how Congress and the Senate works. Normally,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: whoever's in charge, and in this case, it's Julie Menon,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: whoever's in charge looks at all these bills and says, okay,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: we're going to consolidate. We're going to come up with
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: one strong bill to get all of you so they
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: can all get behind one bill. That apparently didn't happen
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: in this case.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: No, this is the Wild West because I don't believe– remember,
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Julie Menon came out very strongly at first and said,
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: we're going to finally regulate the Wild, Wild West. And
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: then the other lobby said, but a lot of them
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: are illegal aliens. We don't want them on any kind
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: of registration because ICE is.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Going to come in and take that. No, they're not.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: How ridiculous that is. So she backed off.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: So now if chaos takes place on the floor of
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: the city council, she'll be like punches pilot.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: See, I tried. I tried. I don't give a damn
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: about chaos on this in city council. Tell you the truth.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: I care about the chaos in the streets and, Another
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: guy died, another pedestrian died, Richard O'Brien in Central Park,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: who was hit by a bike. And that makes it 21.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: 21 for the city, dead. in this year. So that's
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: who I worry about. And the fact that they're not
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: dealing with this problem, especially if it's because of illegals is,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: is abhorrent and they should be ashamed. I promise you tomorrow.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: I will bifurcate them for you. It may take all four.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: It may take three or four hours for us to
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: But anyway, the talk back in the morning and winner
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: of the Curtis Lee with Larry Menti in the morning,
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: t-shirt talks about my positive influence on our street reporter.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Natalie Magliore.
• 32:25
  Speaker 8: I'm wondering how long it took Natalie Magliore to get
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: rid of her accent. One, two weeks around Curtis and
• 32:33
  Speaker 8: she sounds more New York than out there. Have a
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: great day.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: I have that effect on people. And remember, the Talkback
• 32:40
