Hour 1: France riots · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, I concur with that statement better together. Because essentially,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: I'm urban boy. I was never a member of the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: 4-H club. I don't live in the suburbs. But Larry Menti,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: you and our producer Natalie, you live in what I call,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: leave it to be the land, father knows best, little
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: house in the prairie. You're out there where most of
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: our listeners are, the suburbs. And there is an article
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: that says, especially October, December, The deer have the urge
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: to merge. They're all over New Jersey roads looking for sex.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: And state officials are warning you better crawl along some
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: of these roads because if they have that instinct that
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: there's a buck on the other side or a doe
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: on one side, man, that's it. They were running right
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: across that asphalt, right in front of your vehicle. Correct
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: or not correct?
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: No, it's absolutely correct. The weirdest thing is, as I've
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: complained several times on the air here, my backyard is
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: usually filled with deer. All of a sudden, no deer.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Like the last couple of weeks, nothing. We haven't seen
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: any of the baby deer or the fawns or the
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: bucks or the does. Nobody's been out there. So I
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: guess it's like mating season in america they they're all
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: going to the singles bars you know i'm.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Just thinking i haven't seen them walking around in the
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: past two weeks.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Either where are they going well they're looking for love
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: in all the wrong places in all the wrong places.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah on the roads it's true especially at dusk and dawn,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: they just come bolting out. And I know the areas,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: I'm sure you do too, Larry, where they tend to
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: jump out on you.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's anywhere.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, it happened down the block from my house.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: So I was driving here to work just a couple
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: of years ago and a big buck jumps like out
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: of the woods right in front of my car and
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I veered off and I hit a rock. And so
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I called the insurance company and the insurance company said,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: don't worry, we'll take care of it. You know, these,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: these bucks, they're, they're a big problem. So the guy
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: called another, you know, you give your, you give all
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the information to the first guy, then somebody else calls
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: you back. That's going to handle it. He calls me
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: back and he says, wow. He goes, listen, we'll take
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: care of this car.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: It's horrible.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: When you hit a deer, they can do big damage.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: And I go, oh, I didn't hit the deer.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: And he went, okay.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I'll pretend you didn't say that. Luckily, we're not recording
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: And I went, why?
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: And he goes, because if you hit the deer, you
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: get 100% coverage. If you veer off and you have
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: an accident, well, part of that is your fault. And
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: you only get half to 60%.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I went, what? So if I were to kill the deer.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I would have made out. I would have done much better.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: He goes, well, as it is right now, you're still
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: going to do much better if you can just say
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: that you hit the deer. If you can agree with
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: me that you hit the deer.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: And I said, you know what? It's coming back to
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: me now.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I went right for it.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I think I must have hit my head and I
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: was confused. Yes, I hit the deer.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: So now let me ask you this, Larry. With your
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: peripheral vision that you proved you have, as this big
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: buck jumps right in front and you veer away and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: crash into the wall, on the other side, did you
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: happen to see a doe flashing.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Her tail in this direction? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I will tell you, it was weird. It's a one-lane road.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: And so it's not a lot of road. And there is,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: as I said, I hit rocks. There's like a rock wall.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: And then it's thick brush. It came flying out of
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the brush. But I think you're right. He probably was
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: on the prowl. Why else would do that? Unless something
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: was chasing it.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: And apparently the key monster, October, December, this is the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: mating season and they go just absolutely kookalamunga.
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: I've actually, you know, and I live in a smaller area,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: same thing, you know, one lane roads and they, they
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: come out all the time. A few years ago, I
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: was out on Route 3, probably near Clifton. You know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: not a place you would normally think you see deer.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Six lanes.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: This deer comes out. I could see it coming from
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: the other side. He gets to it. It's like a steeplechase.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: It goes over the barrier, then into ours.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: And you see, thank goodness, it's, you know, 4 o'clock
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: in the morning, so it's not as many cars on
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: the road. I had never seen anything like that in
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: my entire life.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: We have an eight-foot fence in the front of our
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: house with little spikes at the top. We had a
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: deer jump that.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: Stop.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Then he got hit by a car. It was horrible.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Poor Don scared it away, and it went running and
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: jumped and then made it over the fence but got
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: hit by a car.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Don caused the death of that deer?
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: No.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Well, we're going to assume it died as it limped away.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: We'll rewrite. Let me tell you my one experience. It
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: was on Staten Island where you were born, Natalie. It's
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: an island. Yeah.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: When I lived there, I never saw a deer because
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: it was like 30 years ago.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm campaigning there. This is in 2021 against Eric Adams.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Nancy's with me. We're near the South Shore. They claim
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: there are about 2,500 white-tailed deer there. And she sees
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the deer and tells the guy driving the campaign van,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: pull over, pull over. She starts feeding the deer. Oh, no.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: A guy from Staten, like, hey, I was going to
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: vote for you, but, you know, there's a New York
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: state law. You can't feed the deer. I said, you
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: want to try to tell my wife that? What was
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: she feeding them? What did she have on her? A
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: combination like bird seed, other things that she keeps together.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: She's always feeding the animals. But they all started coming
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: to her. She has this ability, like. That is weird.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's strange.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: You must have some type of innate ability because most deer,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: you start walking at them, they take off.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: First of all, they stare you down. Stare you down.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Because they want to know, are you serious? Are you
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: walking towards me? And then at a certain point, it's...
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: They're gone.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I think the way they got there, because they weren't
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: normal to Staten Island, it's an island, is they swam
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: across that Arthur Kilimanjaro from New Jersey, where I'm surprised
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the toxicity didn't incinerate them. That's one of the most
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: polluted waterways. but the closest point is Perth Amboy to Tottenville.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: You could hit a golf ball from one side to
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the other. I think that's probably where the deer then
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: migrate to Staten Island. Cause obviously it's a hell of
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: a lot better being in Staten Island than New Jersey. Yeah.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Cause they're not, they weren't going over the Bayonne bridge.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we know that.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I'm still stunned that Nancy was able to approach the deer.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: She is the female version of Dr.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: Doolittle.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: When she visits her mom in the middle of nowhere, Pennsylvania, uh,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: She walks up to the fence. The deer see her
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and immediately run to her. She feeds the deer. And naturally,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: people who see that in the nearby house say, please,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: don't do that, lady. You're just going to encourage them all. Because,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: you know, some people view the deer as if they're
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Agent Orange in hooves because they just consume everything like.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Your wife does. They're giant rats is what they are.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Speaking of giant rats. You have a giant rat in
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: your house?
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: No.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I hope not. I saw the biggest rat this morning
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: coming in. Cat size. I haven't seen a rat in
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: a long time coming in. They're everywhere. Oh, my goodness.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: This one was huge right in front of our building. Yeah,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: put a saddle on it and ride it around. You know,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: they try everything. Like with the white-tailed deer in Staten Island,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: one thing about Staten Island that's good, you can't hunt there.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: You know, like in New Jersey, they have a hunting season.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be a crazy place to hunt.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Hell yeah. But they use non-lethal vasectomies. Yes. So they
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: shoot the deer, mostly the bucks. They shoot them with
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: a dart, you know, that basically drops them. They're still alive.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: And then they use this vasectomy. Can you imagine a
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: vasectomy on a deer?
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, there are guys, right, who say, well, I
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: want a vasectomy because I don't want to get caught
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: cheating or whatever. But my God, a vasectomy. And apparently
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: it's cut the herd in half from the 2,500 that
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I remember back in 2021 when I inquired of people
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: out there, along with their wild turkeys, which are all
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: over the place, going up and down Highland Boulevard. The
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: lights change, Larry. It's a green light. It's on Seaview.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I run out there. I'm thinking the cars are going
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: to hit the wild turkeys, you know. And everybody goes, ah,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: they cross every day. They wait for the light to
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: turn green. Don't worry about it. They're safer out here
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: on Highland Boulevard, the most heavily trafficked, I might add,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: of all the thoroughfares. than anybody else.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: We would love to know if you've seen any horny
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: deer and if you have decided, man, if I could
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: only give them a vasectomy, go to iHeartRadio app and
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: leave us a talkback. You could win a Curtis Lee
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: and Larry Menti in the morning t-shirt, which will be
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: awarded every day to our favorite talkback of the morning.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: And while you're on the free iHeartRadio app, be sure
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: to set a preset for 710WOR in certain areas of
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: our listening area, in certain neighborhoods of our listening area.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: There are people that deal with deer every single day.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: So I'm sure they have some stories. Don't forget the best.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: talk back of the week takes home a sea crane radio.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: And up next oh you're not going to want to
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: miss it how many times have you looked through your
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: scroll and you've seen pictures of either crocodiles or alligators
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: just coming up out of the water you know you
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: see their beady eyes gone gone Well, it happened in Florida.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: And Larry's going to guide everybody out there who thinks
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: that it's paradise in Florida. Except down there, you got
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: to watch the Gators. All of that up next.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: If you've ever been to Florida, you know there are
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: lakes everywhere. Like every community has lakes, small lakes, big lakes,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: but the lakes are everywhere. And in every one of
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: those lakes, you will see a warning sign saying, that
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: gators have been in this lake or gators live in
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: this lake. And for some reason, people still fish in
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: these lakes and ponds. No matter what, I think they think, well,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I've lived here for a long time. I really haven't
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: seen a gator. I know how to deal with them. Well,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: in Winter Garden, which is in Orange County down there,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: a man decided he was going to go fishing and, well,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: it didn't turn out.
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: Well for him that they saw one individual that was
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: possibly grabbed by an alligator and pulled into the water.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: It has not resurfaced. Engine 2-4, I'm going to need
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: you to bring some hooks from your truck and bring
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: it to the shore right here.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: See, when a gator grabs you, and I only know
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: this from living down in Florida for a while at
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: a camp. I worked at a camp for handicapped kids
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: for a while. And they tell you if a gator
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: gets you, and we had several ponds at the camp
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: and there were several gators that we saw in the camp.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: If a gator gets you, they're going to pull you
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: down to the bottom and until you either suffocate or
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: you drown. And then they're going to eat you. But
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: that's what they do. They pull you down to the bottom.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: They roll over and once they get down there, they'll
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: roll over with you for some reason. I don't know
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: what that does. But this was a big.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Gator, too.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: I think I've got a visual actually on the gator
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: about 10 feet in front of where it looks like
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: he's located.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: When they finally got the gator, it was 12 feet.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: They don't even have any remains of the person at
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: this point. But apparently this pond he was fishing at
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: was filled with gators. So it took them a long
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: time to find the gator responsible for And when they did,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: and I never heard this term before. You've covered crime
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: for a long time and you've covered these incidents before.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: I've never heard the term they dispatched the alligator. So
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: obviously they killed the alligator. Euthanized it. Euthanized it.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Dispatched? Yeah, shot it. That simple. They don't want to
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: say we shot the gator.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Dead.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Never heard dispatched. I've heard a lot of euphemisms for shooting.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: I've never heard dispatched.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Now, let me ask you a question. When these gators
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: are in these lakes, or especially these causeways, you know,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: there are so many causeways in Florida. There are homes
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: all along the causeways. People walk off their back deck
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: right into their boat. You sometimes see the gators, their
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: beady eyes, you know, as they go up and down
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: as if they're like a submarine. If they run out
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: of food source, do they eat each other? Do they
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: cannibalize one another? Yeah, you think I would know the
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: answer to that one? Of course. You were probably a
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: member of the 4-H club. I'm not. They didn't cover
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: that in 4-H.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: I never.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: You say 4-H all the time. Is 4-H a big thing?
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, obviously, if you're in the urban area. Because
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Boy Scouts. I was in Boy Scouts. Well, close. Close.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Boy Scouts. Badges and alligators, you know, avoiding alligators, right?
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: Is it?
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: You said close.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Is Boy Scouts a step below 4-H?
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: No, no. 4-H, I would say, is more rule. Okay.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: So if you grew up in a farmland, animal husbandry,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: all those things, that would be like the 4-H club.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I'm really fascinated if any of our callers to talk
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: back can let us know if alligators are famished, right?
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: It's just like human beings. Human beings will cannibalize if
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: they have to. Would an alligator cannibalize either other alligators
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: or baby alligators that are not their babies? I mean,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: they got to survive, right? They don't eat grass. I mean,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: every time I go through a scroll, I'm watching some
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: crocodile or some alligator snatch somebody from the shore and
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: doing exactly what you just said, Larry, grabbing them under
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the water. And then you don't see anything. You don't
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: even see bubbles. Well, I looked it up, so you
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: want to hear it? Good. This is the 4-H club, yes.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: This is AI.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Yes, alligators do eat other alligators. And then it says,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: as if you wouldn't know this, a natural behavior known
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: as cannibalism.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Well, I didn't think of it. I mean, humans are
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: cannibals when all other food measures run out. Why wouldn't
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: gators be that? So if you're a little gator, you've
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: got a problem. Oh, hell yeah. Because the larger gators
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: will eat you. I think, and if you're not part
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: of mommy or daddy gator, that mommy or daddy gator
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: of another family is going to possibly eat you up
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: if there's no other food source.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Well, you were right on the money again. A study
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission found that
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: a high percentage of cannibalism victims are young gators under
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: the age of three.
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: Aww.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: See that? They figure they can copulate and fornicate and
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: end up having other baby gators to replace them. But
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: it's survival. It's Darwinian. Yeah, that's kind of amazing. I mean,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: when I brought up that first little baby gator in
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: that cardboard box coming up Old Dixie Highway, they used
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: to sell them all along, and then all of a
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: sudden they were so big, your mother said, drop them
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: in the toilet. They're too big. They're getting too big
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: for the tub. That's how you ended up with alligators
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: in the sewers. That's exactly right.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: It is just saying more about this, more about gators
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: than we ever want to know. Adult males become very
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: aggressive during mating season, which runs through March through June,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: and they attack rival or smaller gators over territory and mass.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: So does this mean along Old Dixie Highway, you know,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: between October and December, you know, you got to watch
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: the gators grow? coming across from one causeway to the
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: other causeway because they're looking for love in all the
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: wrong places. Right.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: And you don't want them to eat you or have
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: sex with you. Either one would be horribly bad. Let's
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: get the news at 630 now with Daria Albinger.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: So basically males are males, right? No matter what the species.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: Is that yours, the takeaway here?
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not going to go with that. Expect them
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: to say yes to that.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: A chilly start to the day, then mostly sunny with
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: a high of 66 degrees. We have just over two
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: weeks to the election, and the candidates for governor of
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: New York are making the final push for votes.
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: Governor Hochul visiting the Bronx Sunday promoting her plan to
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: expand access to child care and community college along with
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: the ban on cell phones in schools. Meanwhile, Executive Blakeman
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: campaigning on Long Island criticizing Hochul over the cost of
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: living and promising to cut taxes and utility bills. The
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: two candidates have also clashed over immigration and public safety
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: as they make their final pitches to voters. Early voting
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: in New York begins this Saturday. Election Day is November 3rd.
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: Jonathan O'Huller in WUR News.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: Police are still looking for the person who shot and
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: killed a man during a fight in a midtown Manhattan
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: subway station over the weekend. Police say the suspect and
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: the victim, Daryl Rodriguez of the Bronx, got into a
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: fight Saturday afternoon on the E-Train platform on West 53rd
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Street and 7th Avenue. Russian President Putin is suggesting a
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: summit with President Trump and Chinese leader Xi to negotiate
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: an ending to Moscow's war with Ukraine, but it does
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: not appear to include Ukrainian President Zelensky. Well, from the alligators,
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: we're going to go to the deer. You've probably seen
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: them on the sides of the road, and now New
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: Jersey officials are warning drivers to watch out for them.
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: The Garden State's Department of Environmental Protection sent out a
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: warning on Friday saying mating season, also known as the
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: fall rut, typically sees a spike in the presence of
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: white-tailed deer near roadways as the bucks try to court
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: the does. Agency officials are urging drivers to be extra
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: careful as the increase of deer activity usually aligns with
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: the morning and evening commutes. Drivers are urged to slow
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: down if you see a deer. And authorities also say
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: to never swerve to avoid a deer as that can
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: result in fatal collisions. I'm Lizzie Radabali, WOR News.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: The Giants and the Jets lose. Next news, 7 o'clock,
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710 WOR.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Ah, so a heavily trafficked subway station, 53rd and 7th Avenue.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Not that far from where we broadcast here at iHeart.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: 12 noon, argument on the platform, guy pulls out a gun,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: blows the other guy away and disappears into the broad
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: daylight of an afternoon. And that's a problematic station that's
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: had problems before. We'll discuss it up next.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Well, just last week, LifeVac saved another life again. It
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: was out in California in a small town, and it's
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: out in California because in the patrol cars, they carry
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: LifeVac in many of the cities and towns there. I
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: have no idea why they don't do it here because
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: it saves lives every single week. And believe me, I
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: used to be out as a reporter on the streets.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: I saw how quickly an everyday moment can turn into
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: a tragedy. Choking is one of those moments. It can
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: happen to anybody at any time. And when it does,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: seconds matter. That's why I want to tell you about LifeVac.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: LifeVac is the first and only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: to be used for second-line treatment when recommended choking protocols
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: are have been followed without success. And here's what's remarkable.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: LifeVac has helped save over 6,500 lives worldwide. Those are
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: real people we're talking about, real families, real second chances.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Preparedness matters. Having the right tool nearby within hand's reach,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: arm's reach, can make all the difference in the world.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: So learn more about LifeVac today at LifeVac.net. That's LifeVac.net.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: You should have this in your home. LifeVac.net. And see
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: how you can be ready when it comes.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: The police commissioner, Jessica Tisch, and the mayor, Zoran Mandami,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: like to point to statistical declines in a number of areas.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: But the one place there has been no statistical decline
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: in violent crime is the subways in New York City.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: That's my turf. I'm down there. during the day and
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: at night. And you can just tell there's always the
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: potential with all the homeless and emotionally disturbed and people
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: acting out of violence to break out. How many times, Larry,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: have we seen people getting pushed into the tracks, usually
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: by emotionally disturbed persons? But there's this one station, not
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: far from us, used by a lot of our personnel
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: from iHeart, used to be used, Larry, by my wife
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Nancy when she worked for a law firm in before
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: they locked down during 2020 when they had everybody working
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: at home. 7th Avenue and 53rd Street. Natalie, you're familiar
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: with it. A lot of people go to the theater,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: use that.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I definitely use that a lot. It was
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: just down there maybe last week.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's a double-decker station. What I mean is
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: the uptown trains are on the upper level, downtown trains
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: on the downtown level. Not unusual. There are certain stations
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: that have that. But this is a station that has tourists,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: has workers, heavily trafficked. And if you go to either
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: end of the platforms, as I do, whenever I'm on
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: a subway station and I'm waiting for a train, I
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: check the entire platform. You will see at the far
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: end people shooting up drugs. you know, actually injecting themselves.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: On the other side, it's like Alibaba and the 40 Thieves.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: They're going through the items that they just shoplifted upstairs
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: because there are a lot of stores with a lot
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: of product. You shoplift, you go down there, you exchange
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: with one another, and you go to whosoever wholesaling. It
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: is normally a place in the area. And there's a
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: lot of violence because a lot of the emotionally disturbed
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: people live in the station. You don't see the MTA,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: money-taking agency. The NYPD is responsible for policing, doing anything
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: about that station. And then at 12 noon on Saturday,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: at the height of traffic, there's a fight on the platform.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: One guy who's dressed in red with a black mask
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: is arguing with another guy who's dressed like a jacket,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: like he's coming from work. He happened to be a
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: security officer. And they go into the E train and
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: the battle continues. You know, they're pushing, they're yelling. And
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: then they come back out on the platform and Daryl
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Rodriguez gets shot right in the chest one time. And
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: the guy who's fully visual on the camera, except he's
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: got the red tracksuit, black vest with the face mask,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: so it makes it difficult to do a photo recognition technology,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: which the system has. And he escapes onto 7th Avenue,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: heading towards 42nd Street. That's the last time he was seen. Unfortunately,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: although the EMTs and the police arrived relatively quickly... By
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: the time Darryl Rodriguez, age 26, from the Bronx was
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: brought to the hospital, he had expired. No problems with
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Darryl Rodriguez. He has no criminal background, security guard by day,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: taking care of his parents in the Bronx. But this
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: fiend is out and about. They have identified him now.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: They're not releasing a name, but the police say they
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: have identified him, which is amazing to me because I
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: saw the photo of him, and the photo is just
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: his eyes. And so maybe you know how they can
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: do that. I guess they have it in a data
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: bank if he had committed a crime before, and they
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: can just run that part of his face up against
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: a match, and they'll get a match. I'm assuming that's
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: what they're going to be doing in the computer. But, yeah,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: he's been identified. You know what I cannot understand? Philadelphia
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: leads in so many ways. We're going to have the
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: final vote for the horse carriage issue on Thursday. City Council,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: they're going to eliminate it.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: We followed Philly, which recently did that. When I was
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: at Philly recently, more than a month ago to speak
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: at the University of Pennsylvania, we stayed at a hotel
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: downtown on Broad Street. I went into SEPTA, which I'd
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: written many times of talking to SEPTA people. Oh, yeah,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: you can't wear a mask in SEPTA or in public places.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: And it's enforced unless you have a religious exemption or
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: a medical exemption. That would be so easy to do.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: This is it. Remember, the subways are a state facility,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: the MTA. The police of New York City provide the security,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: but everything else is run by the state. Hochul won't
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: even address it. Tish James won't address it. Obviously, Zora
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Mondami won't address it.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: It's weird because all the protesters, all the left-wing protesters
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: wear them, and they want to protect them. I'm sure
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: that's what it has to do with. But somebody that
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: agrees with you, that I'm sure you know very well,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: is Charlton D'Souza, president of the mass transit advocacy group
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Passengers United. He wants them banned, but if not, when
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: you get to where you enter the subway, they should
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: have somebody that says, pull your face mask down, so
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: they can get a good shot of your face. What
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: I'm shocked at, and I guess it's only because he
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: has a record, what I'm shocked at is they've already
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: identified this guy. And that, to me, is amazing. So
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: just getting his eyes, they got him. But if somebody's
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: not in the system, they're never going to catch him.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: We spent, in the previous administration, millions of dollars. This
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: goes back to Bill de Blasio, you know, the part-time
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: mayor that dove from Park Slope, for photo recognition technology.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: He would not use it. Eric Adams didn't answer one
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: way or the other, but we know they were using it.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: He just didn't want to divulge it to his series
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: of police commissioners until he finally got a good one,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Jessica Tisch. And now they don't really say it's there.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: They should use it. It helps prevent crime, and most importantly,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: it helps solve crime. Explain to me, unless you are
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: a criminal or you're planning on committing a crime, why
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: anybody in their right mind, and not a criminal mind,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: anyone in their right mind would not want that. And
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: not only that, 99.9% of the time, it is spot-on accurate.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: How many times in the past have we seen men, especially,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: wrongfully identified because they apparently, according to the description by
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: the victim... looked like the suspect and they got jammed up.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: This would almost guarantee that you're never going to have
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: those kinds of situations. Accuracy, 99.9% of the time it's accurate.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: So clearly you don't want it because it would expose
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of people who are wanted for a variety
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: of nefarious crimes, including if you happen to be Antifa
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: and joining demonstration from town to town. And wow, there
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: are warrants for you in Chicago or Detroit or Atlanta.
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: That's the problem.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: That's why they don't want it, because the people that
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: they would be exposing are the people that vote for
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: them and get the vote out for them. When we
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: come back, I don't know if you've seen the video
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: of what's going on in France. You know there have
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: been protests there over the fact that there's no money
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: and there's no room in the schools. Well, it just
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: got a lot worse. We'll run it through for you
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: right after the break. I don't know if you've been
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: following international news, but heading up all of the international
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: news is the mayhem, the riots, the violence, the looting,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: the burning that is going on across France. Over 500,000
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: to 800,000 people, that's the estimate, have joined more than
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: 110 marches across the country. Nearly 2,400 at this point
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: have been arrested. 1,000 police officers have been injured. 1,000
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: to 1,500 shops already have been looted, set fire to.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Some historic buildings have been set fire to. Historic towns
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: have been set fire. One town suffered a tower collapse.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: heavy violence, looting, clashes in Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Grenoble, Lille,
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: and other regional centers. It is all across the country.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: And what gets me, Curtis, the most is you keep
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: hearing from the radio, this has to do with the
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: high cost of living. It has to do with fuel prices.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: It has to do with education funding. What they don't
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: want to do is blame immigration. And that is the
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: root of this problem. There 9 million people that live
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: in France. They brought in close to a million people
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: over the last four years. That's going to have an effect.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: So when they complain about education and that the schools
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: are too crowded, gee, I wonder how that happened. When
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: they complain about not enough money coming from the government,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: it's because all the government programs have been soaked up
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: by the immigrants. But that is– they try to hide
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: that so much. Every time somebody brings it up, someone
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: will go, especially on CNN, in a very superior attitude. Well,
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: there's no– There's no evidence that it has anything to
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: do with immigrants. Who do you think the people in
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: the masks are? Who do you think the people that
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: they call the black gloves are that are burning down
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: the places? Listen, this is a problem worldwide. The immigration
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: problems are worldwide, and it's going to manifest itself in
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: many ways. You're seeing it play out in France right now.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: And the fact that we have so many in the
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: media that won't just address this and say what it is.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: You get back to what you were talking about, about
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: the mask in the subways. It's the exact same thing.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: This protection of the worst in our society. just because
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: they support you politically has got to go. And I
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: don't mind to tell you the truth by politicians. Politicians
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: are fine. I understand it. But when the media does
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: it too, and the media has been complicit in all
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: of this, that is a real problem.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Well, they're taking advantage of the fact that Macron is
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: a lame duck. I mean, he tried to say center,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: center politics. Well, that didn't work. Because the far left
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: calls Macron oppressive. You know, you sent these stormtroopers in,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: the cops, who are like winging and swinging their batons.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: And the far right, Le Pen, calls Macron powerless. They're
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: six months away from their presidential election. So Macron is
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: just so weak and feeble. So what you had is,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: it started with students and teachers. Then you had the illegals,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: but organized by Antifa, who was always the white guys.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: You know, they're black clad. They have Antifa cells. They
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: have them all over Europe. And so now you have
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: a combination of all this taking advantage of the chaos,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: the looting, the mayhem. And everybody, it reminds me of
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: our days. Remember George Floyd in some of the cities?
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: We're towards the end of the day. the youngsters broke
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: wild and just started looting. They had no political ideology.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: They just said, look, Louis Vuitton, you know, all the
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: premier items, they hit the stores, they trashed them, they
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: stole everything in it, and they ran off into the metro.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: But I will tell you this, when you hear the
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: names of the people that are being arrested in France,
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: and I know it's not politically correct to say this,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: but 70% of them, I'll say. I'm just going to
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: say 70%. It might be 100%. But 70% of them,
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: I'll say, either have an African name or a Muslim name.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: That's the people that are doing this. And they're upset.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: I get that they're upset. They came here for a
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: better life. But they also, I think, I believe they
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: saw an opportunity.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Well, we've seen it spread to Belgium. Again, it started
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: with rising education costs. Milan got trashed near the central station,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: the main cathedral. The idea was affordability that then broke out.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Antifa and the illegals grabbing whatever they could. Spain, they've had.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: They've had demonstrations because of affordability and because of the illegals,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: right versus left. Albania had a million and a half
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: people out there. They're burning buildings there.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: And the common problem in every place you just mentioned
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: is out-of-control immigration.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Well, not in Albania. They have it, too. They do
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: have it, too. I know, but that's not who's rioting there.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: That's the people, as is the case in Argentina, where
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: they've had riots in the capital there. Because of cuts
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: in higher education, they don't have any immigrants there. It's
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: basically all eventually the far, far left that takes advantage
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: of the insurrection.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: The same thing that's happening in this country with the
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: fraud and the fact that the schools need more money
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: and the fact that Medicare and all the social services
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: need more money. There is a reason for that. You
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: can't let 11 million people into the country and think
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: that you have the money to support them all. And
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: that's what's now happening around the world. I just want
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: to try to figure out when we went crazy. to
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: decide that we don't need borders anymore. And there are people,
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: by the way, that are running right now that say
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: that exact same thing.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: We don't want borders. The European Union allows free passage.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: That's why you had Brexit. where the UK opted out.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: You notice they haven't had any riots there yet. They're
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: counting the clock. When are the riots going to take
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: place in London and Manchester and Liverpool and Birmingham? They
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: all have Muslim mayors now, most of the major cities.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Because they have Muslim voters. Right. That's why. But the
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: EU does not impact on them any longer like it
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: does to those other countries where there's free traffic back
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: and forth.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: Speaking of Muslim politicians, we have one to talk about
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: when we come back. It is the most interesting race
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: in all of the midterm elections. The race for senator
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: in Michigan with Abdul Al-Sayed. We will talk about it
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: right after the 7 o'clock news.
