Hour 1: Pete Hegseth impeachment · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And good morning to you. Hope you're having a great morning.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: You know, I came in today, Curtis, and I'm sure
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: this is going to be something you're interested in. I
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: came in today and I got this package from PETA.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: And apparently the PETA people are going to protest at
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Radio City Music Hall because of their use of live animals,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: especially camels. It says, I am not a prop. These
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: are actually Christmas ornaments they have. with a camel that says,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I am not a prop. And I got this and
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I rolled my eyes. I'll be serious with you. I
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: rolled my eyes because I just thought to myself, PETA,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you know, are they relevant anymore? Because I thought PETA
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: had its moments. I remember when I was at Eyewitness News,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I did a whole thing on calves being used for
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: for veal. And I stopped eating veal ever since then.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: We did a big report on it. We did a
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: big special report on it. And it was all because
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: they sent me a video showing the calves mistreatment. They
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: went undercover. Remember when they used to go undercover and
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: show all that stuff? And I thought, wow, what a
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: great organization. And then they got crazy. They went through
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: this period where they were throwing blood or they were
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: throwing red paint on furs, just trying to get attention.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: They'd show up in Hollywood and Somebody will be coming
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: out in an expensive fur and they'd throw this red
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: paint on them. And I think that they just lost
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: their mojo after that. And I said that to you.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I came in and I said, you know, are you
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a big supporter of PETA? And you said, yeah, absolutely.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: And I said, well, they just, you know, I rolled
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: my eyes when I saw this because I remember how
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: powerful they were. And I remember the story they gave
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: me and thinking to myself, I haven't eaten veal since.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: But they've lost it. I mean, I didn't even, you know,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I know they're there, but they're not that big anymore.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: And you said to me, are you kidding me? They're
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: bigger than ever, which I thought was not true because
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I don't see them on the news anymore. I never
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: hear about them anymore. So, of course, I went to
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: my favorite research, AI, and this is what it says. Yes,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the people for the ethical treatment of animals is financially
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: larger and more active than than it has ever been
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: in history. I think I'm not alone. I think that
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: piece of information is going to be shocking to a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: lot of people because they're not in the headlines anymore.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: There's no more news stories about them anymore. They aren't
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: doing some of the stuff they did in the past,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: including the throwing of the blood and the paint, and
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: then also saying, you know, they have to get rid
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: of the furs, and so they had all these naked bodies.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: showing that you strip your furs, you know, strip everything
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that's made of animals. And they've seemed nuts for a while.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: But whoever's taken over now apparently has done a good job.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: You educated me that everything you see in the globe
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: about unfair treatment to animals, they're behind, but they just
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: take a back seat. That's brilliant.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Well, let's see, because this is a new venture for them.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Going against the camels, and I'm not talking about the cigarettes.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: You know, I walk a mile for a camel. The
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: actual camel, whether it's a dromedary one hump or the
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: two humped ones, will El Said appear in defense of camels? Because,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: you know, he's of Egyptian origin. Or will he realize, no, no,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: this is part of my progressive coalition. I don't want
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: to enrage them. But you are absolutely correct. You know
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: where this goes back to? And a lot of our
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: listeners remember it because it was incomprehensible. Bob Barker, the
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: host of The Price is Right, veteran, you know, tough guy.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Nobody can black belt. You don't want to mess with
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Bob Barker. He was a hardcore vegan. And if he
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: saw you wearing fur out where he lived in Hollywood,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: he would condemn that. He'd run down Rodeo Drive screaming,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: take that fur off.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: He became.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Their role model, but they figured we got to do
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: something really extreme. I call it because every group has
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: gone through this stage when they're first being birthed. It's
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: the splash and then dash. You make a big splash
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: and then there's no organizing and mobilizing afterwards. You got
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: a headline and then you do a dash because you
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: don't want to be arrested. You don't want to be
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: served civilly, you know, because then depositions, you got to
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: lawyer up. So under the cover of darkness, sometimes they
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: would commit these vandal acts. And I think they realized
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: it sort of ran out, you know, ran out of gas.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: After a while, their donors would say, okay. And what
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: do you have to show for it?
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: And they became the villains. People felt sorry for the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: people in the furs. It was exactly the opposite that
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: they thought was going to happen. And that's why I
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: thought that they weren't relevant anymore. But you told me that, no,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: they were behind the horse carriages in Central Park. I'll
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: give you the update. They decided, OK, we've got to
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: form coalitions because we're considered to be the loony kazoonies.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: We're considered to be the crazies of the animal welfare movement.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: There were animal welfare people didn't want to have anything
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: to do with them. Say, no, if they come to
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: our demonstration, it'll taint it. They'll steal the limelight. People
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: will think it's a PETA demonstration.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: So they started working in coalitions and they would always
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: take a step back. So they'd be part of the crowd.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: They would bring some of their supporters. They had their
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: PETA shirts on. But the leaders would not demand to
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: be up at the podium, you know, like politicians. We
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: must speak. Why must you speak? Because you know who
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I am? Yeah, who are you? So the PETA people understood, no, no, no, no.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: If they invite you to come up and speak on
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: behalf of the organization, quick, swiftly, to the point, don't
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: say anything totally off the hook. And so now these
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: coalitions started forming, and they said, wow, what happened to PETA?
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: They've matured. They like to say that in the movement.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: They've matured. So they'll show up.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: They'll be at the back of the line. They have
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: been successful with other groups. The fashion shows always had fur.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: The fashionistas in Milan and Paris and New York that
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: set the trends would always have furriers involved at some
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: point of their fashion week. Well, in coalition with so
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: many other groups, they've done away with furs in the
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: New York Fashion Week. They've done away with furs in
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: the Paris Fashion Week. The only ones left are Milan,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: and they're just about ready to say no mas, no mas,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: because they come in with huge numbers. And then PETA
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: takes a back step.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Right, exactly. You didn't hear about PETA in any of
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: the things you're talking about.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: No.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Which is brilliant on their part. Let me tell you
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: how much they've grown now. They now have more money
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: than they've ever had before. They have $ 124 million in
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the bank. And now they have 10.4 million members, which
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: is bigger than they ever were. And that's what you
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: get when you're not crazy. When people can believe in
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: your cause and you don't embarrass them for believing in
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the cause.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Crazy got them the headlines. So you remember, what is PETA?
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. But that video
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: you're referring to that they first put out where you
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: see the mama cow delivering the calf and right away
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: they take the calf away. They'll throw it in the
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: back of a truck, never to be seen. And the
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: cow is crying and running towards the truck. That caused
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: many people no longer to eat veal like yourself. And
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: quite frankly, if you went into an Italian-American community.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Larry, they'd tell you, what's up?
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: If you were in a Sopranos episode, you're not eating
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: a veal parmesan?
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: What are you giving to Peter? The mistreatment of the
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: calves goes beyond just taking them away. Then they don't
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: want them to have any muscle structure. So they make
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: them stand by themselves and for months and months and
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: months until they slaughter them. And then we eat veal.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and guess what? I'm on my way January 1st.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: This will be my New Year's resolution. I will be
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: a full-scale vegan. A full-scale vegan.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: What does that mean exactly? What can't you eat?
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Well, Nancy is going through the whole list now, and
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at it, and I'm like, what can I eat?
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Start easy.
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: Start light.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: But I understand.
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: We have a culinary delight that will partly get me
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: there this morning.
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: I will help you get there.
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: Maybe we'll get you to be an ovo-lacto-vegetarian to start out,
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: where you can have eggs and dairy.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: How about that? Oh, daria, daria. Bring me in, bring
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: me in. Ovo-lacto. Ovo-lacto.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: So I'm bringing you some spanakopita this morning.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Ooh.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: From the St.
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: Anthony's International Festival. That's my church in Bergenfield, New Jersey,
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: which we're having this Friday and Saturday. And I wanted
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: you guys to get a taste of what we're going
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: to do. So the best way to describe spanakopita, and
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: I hope I don't upset my fellow Greek here, it's
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: a Greek strudel. It's a savory Greek strudel.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: No meat.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: No meat in it.
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: No.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: No eggs.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: Spinach, it does have eggs. It does have eggs.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: And cheese.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: You can't eat it.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: We're going to ease into it.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I'm working my way. We're going to ease into it.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: By the time Greek Lent begins, you'll be vegan.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: That's right. Greek Lent.
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: That's right.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: You'll be vegan.
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: And then you can do it with me and we'll
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: both be miserable to deal with.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: I love a festival.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I love a good one.
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: Oh, and this is a good one. This sounds amazing.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: This is a good one because we are a pan-Orthodox church,
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: which means we have Greek food? Middle Eastern food, Slavic food,
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: and Latin American food because a lot of converts from
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: Latin American heritages have become Orthodox. So you can get spanakopita,
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: You can have a little bit of kielbasa and sauerkraut.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: And we have really good podogies. I know you and
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: I are both part Polish.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes.
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: We have good podogies there. You could have grape leaves.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: You could have arroz con pollo. And you could chase
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: it with a Russian body.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: This is crazy. This is amazing.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: Oh, my gosh.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: And it's called spanakopita?
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: Spanakopita. That is one of the things that we are
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: known for.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: And you allegedly have some for us? Where is it?
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: I'm going to heat it up for you right now.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: I'm going to heat it up for you right now.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: It's phyllo dough with lots of butter. So it is
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: not vegan.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Lots of butter.
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: It's got a filling that's made with spinach and ricotta cheese.
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: And we put feta in ours. I know some people
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: don't put feta in theirs. Put a little bit of
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: dill in ours as well.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: It's flaky. It's golden.
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: And I eat it for breakfast sometimes. You could eat
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: it any time of day. I know people are going
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: to be asking. Can you just tell us where this
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: is going to be? This is going to be at St.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: Anthony Orthodox Church.
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: We're located at 385 Ivy Lane in Bergenfield, New Jersey,
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: northern New Jersey.
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: Not far at all from here. And by the way,
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: we have a lot of listeners to WOR.
• 11:12
  Speaker 9: Good.
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: So I wanted to say hi to Jackie and to
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: Leslie because I know they're listening.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: I also have some sweets for you guys, too.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: And it starts Friday, right?
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: It starts Friday, 11 o'clock to 10 o'clock, Friday and Saturday.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: That's wonderful. Join us.
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: I'll be at the bar. Come say hi.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to the alleged food that you have.
• 11:28
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I'll be bringing it in. Thanks a lot, Darren. Taught
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: you in the news. Well, when we come back, there
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: is a huge online Springsteen fan club that is now disbanding.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Guess why? Over politics. Plus a chance to see Tommy
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: James and the Shondells at 825. Curtis, I used to
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: be a huge Bruce Springsteen fan. I've probably seen him
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: in concert a dozen times. And I used to talk
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: about Springsteen on the air here, and people were so
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: disappointed in me that I liked Springsteen. But recently, I
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: can't deal with it anymore. I mean, I like his
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: old songs. I'll play some of his old songs. I'm
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: not going to buy... His new albums are awful anyway.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to buy any of his new albums.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to see him in concert anymore. And
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people feel that way about him.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: And now there is an online group that has broken up.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: It was one of the biggest online Springsteen groups that
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: were out there. And they are now breaking up, not
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: only because they disagreed with his past stances, but they
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: could deal with that. Some of the past stances they
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: could deal with. It was when he endorsed El Saeed.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: that's when it went a little bit too far. And
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: so their group is now, it's 18,000 online, and they
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: got all of these hateful messages they said, and now
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: they're gone. They're called the Spring Nuts, and that is
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: the name of the group. And the founder, Julie and
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Howie Chaz, say the Spring Nuts Facebook fan club, they're
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: disbanding the group, writing that as proud Jews, they found
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the endorsement of Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed deeply disturbing, and that
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: they found some of the comments that fans had been
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: leaving on the page in response to that win vile
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: and hateful. And let me tell you something. This is
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: the new world we live in. This goes beyond Springsteen.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: It goes beyond most politics. There are these deep, I'll
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: say anti-Zionist, but also anti-Semitic feelings that are now coming
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: out and rising to the top. And to the point
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: where here is a page that is just a fan
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: club that is filled with that file to the point
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: where they feel like They can't even continue.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I'm going to use synergy between our first segment and this.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Is this the straw that broke the camel's back?
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Ah, very good.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: I'd like to also know, how did that statement ever
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: come about? This is the straw that broke the camel's back. Well,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: first off, straw can't break a camel's back.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I understand.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: But in retaliation to this, a new page is going
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: up this morning.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: And it's being put up by.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Shamu El-Hefe Chris Christie, the number one sycophantodian lackey who
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: has been dissed and dismissed by Bruce many, many times.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: And it's Chris Christie who's traveled all over the world
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: to do the Jigga Wiggle.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: And he's saying, I stand with you, Bruce and the
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: E Street Band.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Come join my nut brigade here. Yeah, it's funny. He's
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: running for president again. It's very obvious he's running for president.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: He was up in New Hampshire. And he's going to
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: now run as the anti-Trump candidate. You know, I never
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: liked the guy. I hated the guy, which is such
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: a lie. I happen to know he was begging for
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: a job. And Jared Kushner just played with him because
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: he put his dad in prison and put him in
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: shackles and put him in front of the press. So
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: every time he wanted a new job, attorney general, all
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: the way down to running some special committee, he was
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: turned down. But Trump told him he had to come
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: in and be interviewed by Jared Kushner. And every single
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: time he had to sit there and be humiliated. That's
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: why he's so upset with Trump. No other reason.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: To the two who were in charge of nuts for Springsteen,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: what was that website?
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: It's called Spring Nuts. Okay.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: They identified themselves as Jews. Let me tell you something,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: the two of you. You got to deal with your
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: own tribe.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: 60% of Jews.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Voted for El-Said in Michigan.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Don't be lecturing us, the Gentiles. Deal with your own tribe. Well,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: they're not lecturing anybody. They're just dealing with a lot
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: of hate on their site, and all they had was
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: a Springsteen site, but now it's turned political, and I
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: think they made the right move. Want to talk back? Yes,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: of course.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: When the Empire strikes back, Han Solo is about to
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: be frozen in carbonite, and Chewbacca freaks out. He tries
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: to protect Han. And Han tells Chewbacca, he says, Chewie,
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: there'll be another time. And when it comes to the
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Democrats and the Republicans, yep, the Democrats struck back and
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: they hit us last week. But don't worry, there'll be
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: another time. The Republicans will rise again like a phoenix
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: from the ashes.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: That was brilliant.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: It wasn't?
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: It was really good. That was.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Boy, I'll call us to talk about it.
• 16:52
  Speaker 10: It was so good.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: So good, so creative.
• 16:54
  Speaker 10: It was good.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I always love a Star Wars analogy, too. I always
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: love that. And he's right.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Politically, in history, when you're down and out and the
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: phoenix will rise from the ashes, it always happens.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, look at Obama. He got killed in the midterms
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: and he came back strong both times. Now, let's get
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: the news with the person who just gave us food.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: And we love very much Daria Albinger. Daria, thank you
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: for the food.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: You are so welcome. And I love you guys, too.
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: But you're not going to like what I'm about to
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: tell you.
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: Mostly sunny and breezy that's the good part of the
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: forecast high 61 degrees also pretty good here's what's not
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: so good we could see the first snowflakes of the
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: season by this weekend.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: All right now i'm not crazy.
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: Of course i'm glad because everybody can come to the
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: festival because it's not going to be a day so
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: there you go with the first wintry weather in the
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: forecast it's only a matter of time before we see
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: the first real snowfall of the season and mayor mom
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: donnie says The city is going to be prepared. He's
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: pumped $ 25 million more into the effort for this coming
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: year for everything from warming centers, homeless outreach, and, of course,
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: snow removal. The 119th Congress could end with impeachment proceedings.
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: House members are now reviewing articles against Defense Secretary Pete Hagseth.
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: President Trump says he's going to do everything he can
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: to stop them. He says Hagseth should be praised. He
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: should not be impeached. The suspect in the fatal stabbing
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: of a Brooklyn jogger will be in court today. Syed
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: Mohassib was working as a teacher's aide in New York
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: City schools despite being discharged from the military for psychiatric reasons.
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: The FDA is warning people who use GLP-1 drugs, and
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: that is a growing group of people, of a risk
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: of a potentially serious eye condition.
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: It's called non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, or NIAM. It's
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: a rare condition that can lead to permanent vision loss.
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: It's caused by a decrease in blood flow to the
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: optic nerve. Manufacturers of Osempic, Wigovi, Munjaro, Zepound, and other
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: GLP-1 drugs will now have to put a warning on
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: their labels. They've said there's no proof of cause and effect,
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: tying this vision risk to their weight loss and diabetes drugs.
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: Sarah Lee Kessler, WOR News.
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: They say that means it's especially important to get your
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: eye exams if you're taking one of these medications. And
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: the Piano Man will be back on stage for the
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: first time since he announced he was being treated for
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: a rare brain condition. However, you're going to have to
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: go a little bit of a distance if you want
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: to see him. He's going to do a one-night show
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: at Florida Atlantic University. The Rangers and the Islanders lost.
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: Next news, 7 o'clock, bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: on 710WOR.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Daria. When we come back, Pete Hegseth
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: has officially been hit with articles of impeachment. And he
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: is not going to go down without a fight. We'll
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: talk about it when we come back. But first, I
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: do want to talk more about LifeVac, because I have
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: another story for you. A LifeVac device helped save a
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: three-year-old's life in Hamilton County after he ate a piece
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: of candy. He was at daycare, and they happened to
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: have a LifeVac handy. LifeVac, I'm telling you, needs to
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: be in all schools. City Council picked this up a
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: little while ago in New York City. I'm not sure
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: why they didn't do it, but it should be in
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: all New York City schools because choking can happen at
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: any time. It seems to happen to children more than
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: anybody else. And when it does happen, seconds matter. That's
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: why you have to have a LifeVac nearby. LifeVac is
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: the first and only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device to be
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: used for second-line treatment when recommended choking protocols have been
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: followed without success. They tried to Heimlich here in Chattanooga, Tennessee,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: in Hamilton County. They tried to clear the throat with
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: their fingers. It didn't work. Luckily, they had a LifeVac,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: and they saved a life. And here's what's remarkable. LifeVac
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: not only saved that life. They saved over 7,000 worldwide.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: That's not just a number. Those are real people like
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: the child in Chattanooga. Preparedness matters. Having the right tool
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: nearby can make all the difference in the world. Learn
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: more about LifeVac today at LifeVac.net. That's LifeVac.net. Just go
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: ahead and visit LifeVac.net and you can see for yourself
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: how you can be ready the next time it counts. Well,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: it's already started. The Democrats haven't even been sworn in
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: and articles of impeachment have been introduced, but not by
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: a Democrat. By disgruntled Congressman Thomas Massey from Kentucky. Remember
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: when he turned on Trump and Trump said, that's okay,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to go in and campaign against you.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: And he said, that's all right. I win by 20 points.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: He'll cost me 10. I'll still win. Well, he got trounced.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: So he's leaving, but before he leaves, he's got to
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: dump this stink pot before he leaves, he's introduced eight
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: articles of impeachment against U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, setting
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: up a mandatory, mandatory floor vote in the House of
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Representatives as early as this week. That may happen. And Massey,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: of course, he was glowing. He got to get on CNN.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: He got to get on MSNL and talk about it.
• 22:28
  Speaker 9: We're not indicting him for being bad at his job.
• 22:32
  Speaker 9: In fact, he was very effective at killing school children
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: in Iran. He was very effective at extrajudicial killings. There's
• 22:40
  Speaker 9: no argument in these impeachment articles that he's ineffective.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: So Hakeem Jeffries, who is going to probably be the
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: new Speaker of the House, said he's a hard yes.
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: In front of us right now is the Hegseth impeachment resolution.
• 22:57
  Speaker 8: I'm a hard yes, as I've made clear on the
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: impeachment resolution.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: And even Republican senators, especially the disgruntled one like Tom Tillis,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: like John Cornyn and Tom Tillis, they're going to consider
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: it as well. Clearly.
• 23:14
  Speaker 10: There are people who I respect who feel that he's
• 23:17
  Speaker 10: done a very poor job. And if he's the one
• 23:19
  Speaker 10: that gave the president the guidance that we could be
• 23:22
  Speaker 10: out of the Iranian war in five weeks, that was
• 23:24
  Speaker 10: an incredible misjudgment. But that's what will be presented before
• 23:28
  Speaker 10: the House, and then we'll consider it in the Senate.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Well, look, the defense secretary is not going to back
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: down at all on this. And remember, there's a Republican
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: majority right now in the Senate. If it goes there,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: they probably wouldn't even take it up. So it'll be
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: reintroduced next year. But Hegseth, as always, is defiant. Just
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: like the president, we don't back down. And that especially
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: applies now. He's going to have a news conference a
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: little bit later today. Curtis, that's going to be must-see television. Oh,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: and must play tomorrow on our show. Yes, absolutely. He
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: will not forsake you, Larry. He will come out with
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: a verbal Gatling gun. This is where he's vulnerable. He
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: prosecuted the war to the command of the commander-in-chief. He
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: did not order.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: the military to do things without the permission of the
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: president so you lose on that issue you don't like
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: his personality oh that's not articles of impeachment but where
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: you will find republicans coming on board especially senators and
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: this hasn't been defined a lot It won't be over
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: DEI refusing to promote blacks or women within the military
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: ranks or trying to eliminate them. It won't be over that,
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: although that'll be one of the articles of impeachment. It'll
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: be over the fact that well-respected men in command in
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: the Pentagon were released because they disagreed with the Secretary
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: of War.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: And they.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Had a wealth of experience and they had reached over
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: both sides of the aisle. So they were well respected
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: by both Democrat senators and Republican senators. Now, this round,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: there won't be that kind of testimony.
• 25:18
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: You know, it's like it's for Massey. What you just
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: mentioned is not one of the articles of impeachment this
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: time around.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: But the next time we have committee hearings and interrogations
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: and open hearings. you will see some of the most
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: respected men in our era, in the Pentagon, who have
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: no blemishes, who will probably be asked to come forward
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: and testify what went on behind closed doors with you
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: and the Secretary of War that led to your demise.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: You are an honorable man. You had served us so well.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: What went on? And that might be the Achilles heel.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I would have to look this up,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: but I'm not sure... A secretary in the cabinet firing
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: underlings is an impeachable offense. I'm not sure that is.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, you have to do something egregious. Here are
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: the eight articles right now. Waging an unauthorized military hostility
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: in Iran, Yemen, and Venezuela without congressional authorization. That's not
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: going to go anywhere. Ignoring a House directive to remove
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: forces from Iran. That's not going to go anywhere because
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: the Constitution says that can happen. Dismantling civilian harm mitigation
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: infrastructures tied to civilian deaths in Iran. That's got a possibility.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Extrajudicial maritime strikes, maybe. Retaliating against Senator Mark Kelly and
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. I think in
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: that eight, there's one that has some legs. But I
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: think this is just a preliminary thing for Massey. Yes, exactly.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: The next round will be more intense. And I do
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: predict that there will be two thirds of the Senate
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: that will go for his impeachment. And at that point,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: I think the president will have the discussion with Hegseth.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's best to find another place. In my administration
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: and begin your own political career because he's always wanted
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: to run for office.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: It's going to be interesting because they're going to need
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: two thirds of the Senate. And right now the count
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: is that there are six senators that are not committing
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: to it. but are saying that it's possible. I mean,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: they don't have a no vote. Most of them do.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: I think we can agree he will not learn from
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: the Dale Carnegie course of how to win friends and
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: influence people between that time, because he's going to meet
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: with them privately. But let's see how this plays out. Anyway,
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: up next, we're going back to what, Cranberry Sauce? No, no, Cranberry,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: New Jersey, because the intrigue. Of losing, what, 29?
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Well, the little township of Cranberry in New Jersey in
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Middlesex County has made national news now because I think
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: a lot of people are trying to figure out how
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: a township with a $ 16 million budget lost $ 26 million
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: in a fraudulent wire transfer. Now, they got some of
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: it back. They were able to, the FBI came in
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: and was able to freeze some of the funds. So
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: they were able to freeze $ 17 million. But that means
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: $ 9 million are still missing. And the people of Cranberry,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: of course, are furious about this, especially because the mayor,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Lisa Nierum, and the town council, and the police chief
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: all kept this from them. This happened last month. well
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: before the election. And then they had the election, and
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: right after the election results, right after the Democrats swept
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: the township council, and Mayor Neerum got re-elected, then they
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: came out and said, oh, guess what? Something we should
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: have told you, I guess, a few weeks ago, but
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: we lost $ 26 million. You can imagine the residents in
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Cranberry are furious. Now, I want to warn you about something. So,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: You're used to city council meetings and town hall meetings
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: when people are yelling and screaming. Something about Cranberry you
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: should know. It's a quaint little township. And so the
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: average salary in the country is $ 80, 000 or $ 70, 000, something
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: like that. The average salary in Cranberry Township is $ 220, 000.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: So it's a well-to-do township. So you're not going to
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: hear a lot of screaming in But they packed the
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Township Hall to the point where they had people waiting
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: in the hallways and listening in. And here's a little
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: bit of it.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: To discover that millions have vanished under your watch is
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: both shocking and entirely unacceptable.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: President Harry Truman famously said, the buck ends here. I
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: respectfully want to tell the Township Committee that the buck
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: really should stop with you all. So the mayor was,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: you know, reading a statement the entire time. I think
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: she's been lawyered up because there's a possibility of legal
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: action in all of this, and she lost taxpayers' money.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: And so she, again, was reading very quietly to the crowd.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Your anger is valid, your fear is valid, and your confusion, frustration,
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: and disappointment are valid. And you deserve the opportunity to
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: express those emotions, to ask difficult questions, and most importantly,
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: to be heard.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: What the hell was that? What is that? Oh, guess what?
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Your feelings are valid. Your feelings, I understand. And guess what?
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: You have the right to express how you feel. Yeah,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: that's in the Constitution. What happened? There were no answers
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: about what happened to the money. Well, you know something, Larry?
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: You were right.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Really zeroing in on that because this is going to
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: happen more and more. Look at what's happening upstate. Kathy
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Hochul gave away the state treasury to Zoran Mondami, the
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: $ 8 billion, to balance the budget in New York City
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: and guarantee he would be like an appendage to her
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: so that he could campaign with her for re-election and
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: fend off challenges from progressives and DSA. Well, and haven't
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: I been saying keep your powder dry? Keep your powder
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: dry because You know, right now he's spending money that
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: he doesn't have, which makes a lot of friends and
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: programs get their money. So everybody is in love. He's
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: at 70% support. But look at what's happening in Troy,
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: upstate New York, right in Kathy Hochul's backyard. You know,
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: so the governor's mansion is right there. They're going bankrupt.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Money has disappeared. They have a DSA mayor in Albany
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: who yesterday, along with the controller, were asked by citizens outraged.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: What happened to $ 55 million? That's going to bankrupt us.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Schenectady is next. She can't bail out all these cities.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: It's right in her backyard. And that's why this coming year,
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: once you get into about February and March. All of
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: a sudden, what's Kathy Hochul going to do for Zoran
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Mandami this time to bail him out of the fiscal abyss?
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Because your books have to be balanced.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Listen, everybody that voted for Kathy Hochul, you were taken.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: You were blind. And I don't know what you were
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: blinded by. But she did say over and over again,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: I have no intention of raising taxes. No, I'm not
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: going to raise taxes. She would say it definitively. She'd
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: couch it a couple of times. But the message was clear.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to raise taxes. As soon as she
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: gets elected, the moment she gets elected, she comes and
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: she goes, well, if there's, you know, I never said
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: in no scenario would I not raise taxes. She's already
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: couching it. So she's already preparing us for the fact
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: that she is going to raise taxes. It is going
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: to happen. So you were fooled. You were hoodwinked. You
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: voted for no taxes. You're going to be taxed because
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: a Democrat's a Democrat.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, up next, I can't wait for John Decker. You
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: know what my Trump question is going to be, Larry.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: I'm letting you know right now. The president went on
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: the warpath again saying, hey, who's willing to accept these results?
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Does anybody really believe this election was honest? This was
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: yesterday after election night when he said, I accept the results.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Well, I've tipped you off in terms of what I'm
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: going to ask, but John Decker is right there in
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: the White House.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: We'll be talking to him up next.
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: Prop 1.
