• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, Larry, look who's here.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: It's on loan from Mark Simone, Chris, The Quiet Storm.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: I've been trying to get him to shut up. My God,
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: that guy just talks and talks and talks.
• 0:14
  Speaker 4: That's what they say about me, yeah.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Let's give you an IQ test here. Proud graduate of
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Seton Hall, right?
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Yes. Just like Natalie, right?
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Proud graduate of Seton Hall, our producer. What do you
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: notice that's different about this studio today as we begin
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: the morning show?
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: I notice your hat looks a little bit different.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Do not refer to it as a hat. Sorry, your beret.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: Your beret looks a little bit different. My apologies.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: That beanie?
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Or a tam.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: You know, if it had the little twister on top,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: it would be called a tam. It looks a little fresher. Well,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: let me give you the origin of this. Yesterday, Larry,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: remember we joined all our colleagues at iHeart. Sales, promotions,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: all the shows, all the morning shows were present. And
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I was publicly humiliated and embarrassed in front of our colleagues.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Because Elvis Duran of Z100, while surrounded by his posse...
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: looked at me and pointed because he had seen that
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the sales department had a Halloween party the night before
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: and they were wearing red berets. And he goes, gee,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: the red berets on the sales department seem to be
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: so much better than yours. I noticed, Curtis, you have
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: your red satin jacket and a dingy, dirty, what color
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: is that beret?
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: See, I like the old beret. I liked the old beret.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: You know what, what do they call it in fashion
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: when a beret, a distressed. It was distressed.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: It had life to it.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly. It's like you've been a few places.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: You're right, Chris. You're right, Larry.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: But I made the classic mistake of telling my wife, Nancy,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: who is a groupie of Elvis Duran and his show, that,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: you know, your hero humiliated me today. And she goes,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: over what? And then I explained, you know, that he, he,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Basically said I need a new red beret. And so
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: when I go to sleep at 10 at night, I
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: wake up at 1.30 in the morning and I begin
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: to do my show prep because that's the quietest time
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: of the day it is for me.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I'm looking around for my red beret. Gone. Gone.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: So I'm in a panic. You know, this is like
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: you just lost your wallet, right? I'm tossing everything. She
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: probably disposed of it, incinerated it. I have no idea.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: And then there was the backup beret. The backup beret
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: was out and I said, oh man, how could she
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: do that to me? And so now I have to
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: style and profile and break in a brand new red beret.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Here's why you should feel okay about it. Because I
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: will be honest to God, honest with you.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I didn't notice.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: When you came in, I didn't notice that it was
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: a different beret. And if he didn't tell you, Chris,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: now you be honest now, if he didn't tell you
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: it had changed, would you have noticed?
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: I didn't notice before he said something.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, see?
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: I feel like maybe throughout the span of the show,
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: of the morning, I might have figured it out.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, come on. You're barely awake for the span of
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: the show.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: All right, okay.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: You know, even though I love the support you have
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: lent me on this issue against my wife and Elvis Duran,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: when is the last time you were at an eye
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: check at the Department of Motor Vehicles?
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Because, I mean, it's a big difference.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Is it really?
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: I really, honest to God, this isn't like a bet.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Honest to God, I didn't notice the difference, and I
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: still don't.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: There was wear on the seams of his old one.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I like it that way. I like it that way. But, hey,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: you know, the wife has prevailed because of Elvis Durek.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Part two.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I walked into a Chase Bank yesterday. I had to
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: get documents notarized, a whole series of documents. And I
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: had the old torn and tried and true Red Beret
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: on my head. So a young man is notarizing it.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: And he goes, you know, we saw that video you
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: put up about mailbox theft because it's systemic everywhere. And
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: he goes, you know, most of my day is spent
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: with people like you.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I know what he meant. My age, you know, boomers.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Walking in here screaming because their checks were stolen that
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: they sent in the mail. And the first thing I
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: tell them is, don't mail your checks in the mailbox. Now,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: this is your generation, Chris. Telling my generation, don't trust
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: the blue mailbox. Don't put checks or things of value
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: in the mailbox. You know, bring it, as he said,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: bring it to the post office or give it to
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: your postal carrier.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: He said people still insist on writing checks. They're angry
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: at me.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I'm warning them, even though I got to try to
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: track down these checks.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Even our own Natalie Migliore. has said that her parents
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: are old school. They write checks. They mail checks.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: No matter how many times she tells them and her
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: sister tells them, you know, there's a good chance that
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: check may not arrive where it's supposed to be. And
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: more importantly, you could be a victim of theft. Doesn't matter.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: They keep writing checks.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: And mailing them.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: This is your thing. I mean, you've been on this
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: now for a while. This is a crusade. It's a campaign.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: You should call your hand-holding friend, Mom Donnie, and see
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: if you can do a PSA.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: You know, he wants people not to have the mail-in
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: votes counted, right? Yeah, there you go. Because it's the
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: elderly vote.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: He wants them stolen.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I got it. It's the only vote that.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: He didn't win, the elderly vote. But in reality, there's
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: five days left of voting. I don't care who you're
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: voting for. I want you to vote. And if you're
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: going to do it by mail-in votes, because now you're
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: really pressing it. You know, normally it might take the U.S.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Postal Service three days to deliver a ballot. It has
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: to be delivered by the time your balloting ends, whether
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: in New Jersey or New York, on election night. We
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: don't have the extended afterwards, like California. What is it,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: 300 days the mail-in ballot can arrive afterwards?
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Then it can be added to the count. So please.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Bring your mail-in ballot to your local post office or
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: give it to your postal carrier. Do not put it
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: in the blue mailbox because of all the theft that's
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: taking place.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: This brings up a lot of really interesting questions. Do
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: you use the mail anymore? When was the last time
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: you and your generation mailed a letter? Me personally, like
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: a letter, I don't.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: Use the mail very often i said sometimes that like
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: when i sell clothes online i'll like go to the
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: post office and drop it off.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Wait a second when you sell clothes online.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: Not like regularly but you know something old things in
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: my closet like i've made like a couple hundred dollars
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: over like a year like on ebay yeah oh not
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: not ebay specifically but a site similar to that that's
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: just for clothes like secondhand clothes yeah you know when
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: i have things that i i've like gone through my
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: closet like i haven't worn this in three years can.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: You tip that What?
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: This?
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this shirt? Yeah, I just got this, like, a
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: few months ago.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. The strokes, man.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: You don't go through your closet and then say, I'm
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: going to give this to Goodwill or the shop, you
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: know what I mean?
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: No, no, there are certain things that I give to Goodwill,
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: and then there are certain things, like, it's usually, like,
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: old sports jerseys. I have old sports jerseys, and I'm like, oh,
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: I could get, like, 30, 40 bucks for this. Oh, sure,
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: I give hundreds of dollars to Goodwill. I give so
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: much to Goodwill. Just the special ones I sell. There
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: you go. Now, we're immersed in marathon coverage.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Larry and Natalie will be taking it from beginning to
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: end on Sunday. But yesterday, a specialist at Northwell Staten
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Island University Hospital. published his research. Remember about 60 years ago, Larry?
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I remember I was a teenager and they were telling
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: older people at that time, you need to take 10,000
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: steps a day. You'll live a long life. You'll have
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: less problems. 10,000 steps a day. Well, this guy, the
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: specialist at Northwell Staten Island University Hospital said, you know,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: that would take you two hours of walking every day.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Nobody took that seriously. Nobody took that seriously. Did you? Oh,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: you probably do 10,000 steps anyway. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: It didn't affect me.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: You didn't even count. No, no, I don't know anybody
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: that saw that and said, I got to get my
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: 10,000 steps in. I know people that walk every day,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: which just to keep an elf, you know, but. I
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: don't think anybody ever took that seriously. What's he saying?
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: How many? He said taking fewer than 2,000 steps is
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: considered sedentary, meaning you're inactive. You're more subject to have
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: medical issues. So he said try to get it up
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: to like 5,000, 6,000, 7,000, and in smaller increments. Don't
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: try to take on too much at one time. But
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: it's still, look, most people are not going to run
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: a marathon. Most people are not going to run. or jog.
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: So this is the best alternative for a lot of
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: our listeners out there is get out and just start
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: walking around.
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: I've seen a lot of people, especially older walking. I
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: think that message has gotten through, but if it didn't anybody,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: they should get out and walk. And here's what I
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: want to know about the, uh, about the post office.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: How many of you are still mailing letters in a mailbox?
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: It'd be interesting because I don't think I have in
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: a while. I usually had to go to the post
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: office or just do it online. Um, That's a pretty
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: interesting question. Also, is there a piece of clothing that
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: you're so attached to that you will not get rid
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: of it, like the beret that was thrown in the trash?
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: If I know my wife, Nancy, she disposed of it
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: way away from the apartment.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: See, he could have sold that. Oh, my God.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: That would fetch some money.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, no question. Right?
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: And you see, unlike you, you uber-capitalist looking to make money,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: I would have donated it to a charity. You know
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: how sometimes they'll have it before the charity event. They'll
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: have different things showcased. How much will you bid for this?
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Auction it off. Oh, okay, yeah, you can auction it.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, somebody else can make money from it.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: That's not what you said.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Somebody's selling it. It doesn't have to be him selling it.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: A church could sell it.
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: Sure.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Nancy, probably like a squirrel, you know, hiding nuts, has
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: hid it somewhere. But that's a great idea. I'm going
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: to say to you, look, I give up. No mas,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: no mas. I got to wear the new beret. But please,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: there are a lot of charities, animal welfare charities. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: That's a good idea.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: That we subscribe to.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Why don't you donate my beret to them so they
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: can auction it off?
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: That's a way to get your old beret back.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: You just say, hey, I need it back because I
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: want to auction it off. for a pet charity or
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: a dog charity or something, and she'll go for that
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: cat charity.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but she'll do it herself. She'll say, I'm not
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: giving it to you. His hands are never touching that
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: beret again.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: She's way too smart for that. Anyway, if you do
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: want to leave us a talkback on anything we were
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: talking about today, go to the iHeartRadio app and leave
• 11:08

• 11:16
  Speaker 3: And while you're on the free iHeartRadio app, be sure

• 11:23
  Speaker 3: best talkback of the week. takes home a C-Crane radio.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: What are the best ballpark hot dogs in the country?
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: There's a guy that went on a mission to find out,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: and we'll tell you what he came up with, plus
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: a chance to see comedian John Mulaney at age 25.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: You go to a baseball game, you get a hot dog?
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, I used to. In fact, I used to try
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: to eat them all.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: I think Chris's favorite team has Nathan's Mets, and I
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: think the Yankees have Subrette.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Did you ever get a hot dog at a baseball
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: game and say, man, that was really a good hot dog?
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: All the time.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Is that true?
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: I love hot dogs.
• 12:01
  Speaker 9: Really?
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So any hot dog is good for you. Well,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: there's a guy in New Jersey. His name is Rev Ciancio.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: He's a hospitality marketer. And he decided that he was
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: going to visit every ballpark, including some of the minor
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: league ballparks in the country, to find the best hot
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: dog that was out there. Because me, I go and
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: I get a hot dog and I don't even think
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: about it. You know what I mean? A hot dog's
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: a hot dog. But I know that there are great
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: hot dogs because I also worked in Chicago for a
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: long time and the best hot dogs are in Chicago.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: And the best hot dogs are at Wrigley Field in Chicago.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: So this guy went out and there was one local,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: this is the way he rates them, by the way,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: He gives it a one through a five, a five
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: being the best. And then you have a hard five,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: which is the best of the best. And you have
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: a soft five, which is just made the five. So
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: there is a five in there locally. And I want
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: to see if you can guess it since you've been
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: to some of the local ballparks and you have tried
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: these hot dogs.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: I think he probably would have said Trenton.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's an interesting guess. No, Trenton wasn't in the
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: top five. I'll still see where it is.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Is it Coney Island, my mind of these, I think
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: it's called, where the Brooklyn Cyclones play?
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: That's it?
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Okay. Wow. That's amazing. This is a real hot dog, man.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's incredible. I told you I'm a hot dog guy, yeah. Hey,
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: wait a minute.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: You doubted me. I competed in the Nathan's Hot.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Dog Eating Championship, finished third in 1996.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: But getting back to what I said about Chicago, well,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: number one is the Redding Fightin' Phillies in Redding, Pennsylvania.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: And then number two was the Chicago Dogs at the
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: American Association. And then the Chicago Cubs was number three
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: in Wrigley Field. They're, like, famous for their hot dogs.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: They really do them up there. The Yankees and Mets

• 14:08
  Speaker 8: Yeah.

  Speaker 1: To travel to all these ballpark destinations. No easy feat.

  Speaker 2: He has to pay for room and board. He's got

  Speaker 2: to pay for tickets to get in there and then

  Speaker 4: Somewhere around there. Somewhere around there.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Crash has been to 40.

  Speaker 5: out of high school, I would like the first week
• 15:05

• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Well, who knew this about Chris the Quiet Storm?
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got an interesting second life.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, but a father and his son, this
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: is like an all-American story. On the road, visiting ballparks,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: which used to be, you know, considered America's pastime. No longer, unfortunately,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: American smash-mouth football, but To go on the road as
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: you graduated high school to these ballparks, to sample also
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: the people who are coming to the ballpark, the dirty
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: water hot dogs. You've spoken more in this segment than
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: you've spoken in your life.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: We're talking about something he wants to talk about, hot dogs. Now,
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: let's get to some talkbacks real fast.
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: I take 10,000 steps daily. It takes me 90 minutes
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: to get to that 10,000th step. My doctor asked me
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: to start doing a light workout a couple of days
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: a week. So there are a couple of days where
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: I do not do the 10,000 steps. Two or three
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: days if I'm going to do a light workout, then
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: I don't get all my steps in.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: I know there are people that do it still.
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: That really take it as a religion.
• 16:18
  Speaker 10: Good morning, Curtis Larry.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: The loud one.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Chris.
• 16:21
  Speaker 10: Hey, listen, the mailbox thing, using the mailbox. Like Larry said,
• 16:25
  Speaker 10: it's a generational thing. For whatever reason, my father will
• 16:28
  Speaker 10: go to the bank if he has to get something.
• 16:30
  Speaker 10: He will mail every check in the world that has
• 16:35
  Speaker 10: to be delivered in some capacity. I check the mailbox
• 16:40
  Speaker 10: once every couple of months, clear out the brochures, clear
• 16:44
  Speaker 10: out the debris, clean the mailbox.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: It's generational.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: It is absolutely generational. Let's get to Daria Albinger with
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: the 630 News, Daria.

• 17:07
  Speaker 11: A man was reportedly shot in the neck on Wednesday
• 17:09
  Speaker 11: before crashing his car into a building in Munaki. He
• 17:13
  Speaker 11: was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center in unknown condition.
• 17:16
  Speaker 11: It is unclear what led up to the shooting. I'm
• 17:19
  Speaker 11: Lizzie Radabali, WOR News.
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: There are reports that unmarked police cars may have been
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: following the man and that there were a number of
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: federal officials working with police at the scene. President Trump
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: will take his midterm blitz to South Carolina today, while
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: former President Obama campaigns in Georgia for Democratic candidates. There
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: are five days to the election. Israel could be headed
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: for another election after exit polls showed neither Prime Minister
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition nor the opposition's could secure a majority
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: in Parliament. Police made more than a dozen arrests after
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: anti-ice protesters stopped traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge.
• 17:54
  Speaker 9: A group of about 30 protesters fanned out on the
• 17:57
  Speaker 9: Manhattan side of the Brooklyn-bound bridge around 12.35 p.m., blocking
• 18:02
  Speaker 9: both car and pedestrian traffic. Two protesters held a yellow
• 18:06
  Speaker 9: sign saying, A reference to the ice shooting of Oscar
• 18:11
  Speaker 9: Belgall as he and his five-year-old son were both in
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: their car. At least 14 protesters were arrested, not clear
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: on what charges. Video shows drivers arguing with the protesters,
• 18:22
  Speaker 9: including some who said they agreed with their cause, but
• 18:25
  Speaker 9: that blocking the bridge just wasn't fair. Andrew Whitman, WOR News.
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he does it, but he doesn't think he's doing
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: anything wrong. Mayor Mamdani admitting that he and his friends
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: use the NYPD Training Academy gym for late-night pickup basketball games.
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: He says he was told it was okay, and he
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: says if there is a problem, he will find somewhere
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: else to play. Knicks win, Devils lose, and Milwaukee wins
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: the World Series. Next news, 7 o'clock bulletins at once.
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Up next, wow, Alaska.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Who would have thought the drama coming out now that
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: has Trump weighing in, the DOJ weighing in, the governor
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: of Alaska weighing in, and it's all because, that's right,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, because the New York Times exposed The
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: plot to bring in a second Sullivan.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: All of that up next.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm just reading another story on Google about a
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: five-year-old girl who was choking at a local football field.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: And luckily, the sheriff that was there had a life
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: vac in his car and was able to save this
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: little girl's life. Every week, over and over and over,
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: there are life saved because somebody was smart enough to
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: have the life vac device. I've been telling you about LifeVac,
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: and it's important to know that LifeVac is the first
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: and only FDA-authorized succulent. anti-choking device to be used as
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: a second-line treatment when the recommended choking protocols, like patting
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: somebody in the back or trying to clear their throat,
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: or the Heimlich, have been followed without success. They don't
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: always work. LifeVac works. And here's what's remarkable. LifeVac has
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: now helped to save, this number keeps climbing, 7,000 lives.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: 7,000 lives worldwide. Think about that for a second. That's
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: not just a number. Those are real people, real families,
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: real second chances. Think about the people surrounding you that
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: you love. Have the right tool nearby. Preparedness matters. It
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: makes all the difference in the world. While a bombshell
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: report in the New York Times right before the midterm
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: elections about Mary Peltola, who is the Democratic candidate for
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Senate in Alaska. Now, there has been a lot of
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: controversy from the very beginning back in the primary elections
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: about the fact that there was another Dan Sullivan on
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: the ballot. Dan Sullivan is, of course, the senator from
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Alaska who is running for re-election. They found a second
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Dan Sullivan to put on the ballot to try to
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: confuse voters. And I'm saying they did because it now
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: has been proven positive that they did. For the longest time,
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: Mary Peltola said that's just crazy talk. We had nothing
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: to do with it. But the New York Times says
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: this was orchestrated now for over a year. This started
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: back last year that they were searching and searching and
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: searching to find another Dan Sullivan because it's such a
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: common name. And apparently they found 48 of them. And
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: then they had to try to convince one of them
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: to run. And they were able to do that. And
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: the problem is that so many of the Democratic National
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: Committee knew about this. The Democratic Senate Committee knew about this.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: In Alaska, they knew about this. in the campaign. And
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: they all denied it. Now, Mary Peltola, there was some
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: text with her. One of them is the most damning
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: when they said after the midterms, the plan is working.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: So all along, Dan Sullivan has been out there saying
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: this was all orchestrated. Donald Trump has been saying this
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: is all orchestrated and everybody was calling them crazy. And
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: now apparently it wasn't that crazy after all. For this
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: to happen, this close to the midterm elections where people
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: are still voting up there, and this was razor thin,
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: a razor thin election between the two, this is going
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: to give the Republicans Alaska. Now Donald Trump thinks they
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: need to do more than even that.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: They said they didn't do it and we caught them cold.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: And Mary Peltola should resign from the race, I think
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: she should be prosecuted criminally for what she did.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, there's two bad things with Mary Peltola.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: One was that last year, no, back in September, I
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: should say, back in September, the New York Times did
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: a story because of workplace harassment. Apparently, Mary Peltola goes
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: on tirades against the people that work for her. She
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: curses at them. She's used homophobic slurs against them. So
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: when you tick off your campaign workers, some of them
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: your top aides, and they know that you're involved in
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: a big scandal, this is what happens. If you want
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: to get back at somebody, this is how you get
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: back at somebody. So it was her own staff that
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: turned on her, and apparently there were as many as
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: 12 people that are cited in the New York Times article.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: So this is unbelievably damning. You know, a local reporter
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: caught up with Mary Peltola last night, and, you know,
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: he wasn't very good because he didn't ask follow-ups, but
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: this was her answer.
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: I have every confidence that Alaskan voters know what they're doing,
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: and I believe in the rule of law and free
• 24:20
  Speaker 8: and fair elections, and I have... all the faith that
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: this is going to get sorted out in the right way.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: What was that gobbledygook? What the hell was that?
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Well, imagine the irony here. Republicans holding up copies of
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: the New York Times that they always accuse of fake news.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: And Peltola attacking the New York Times saying, oh, they
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: do this just to get clicks, subscriptions. Nobody at the
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: New York Times cares about affordability in Alaska. The New
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: York Times did the research going back to 2025. This
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: was in the planning stage between Peltola, her campaign, and
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer. Because he controls the Senate Finance Committee. Signed, sealed,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: then delivered. But this all goes back to the days
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: of JFK.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: The very famous story that they were proud of. All
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: the Kennedys bragged about it. Joe Sr.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: the former ambassador to England, the big movie mogul, wanted
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: his son to be the congressman in Boston. And remember,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: he got him a Pulitzer Prize for profiles encouraged supposedly
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: that JFK wrote in Harvard.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: He didn't write a word of that. He bought it.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: And then he goes out and they find a guy
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: whose name is the same as the leading candidate in
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: the Democratic primary. And they use that form of tricknology.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: And that's how JFK won his congressional seat and the Senate.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: You know the rest of the story, the presidency of
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: the United States. A lot of these campaigns, they operate
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: on what Vince Lombardi used to say for the Green
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Bay Package.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Winning isn't everything. It's the only thing.
• 25:58
  Speaker 9: I know. I know.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: And I'll tell you what, the New York Times, thank
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: you so much, New York Times. You just kept the Senate,
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: I believe, for the Republican Party. Because every race, this
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: was going to be so razor close as to whether
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: they kept the Senate. Because they now have 53 seats
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: to 47. I know there's two independents, but they vote
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: with the Democrats. 53 to 47. So we're talking about
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: four seats. And Alaska was one of the ones they
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: were hoping to win. That ain't going to happen now.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: And so if they were able to take Michigan, which
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: I believe is going to happen. I think they're going
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: to come up, Curtis, with 51 seats.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Well, assuming the Democrat wins, the president, the DOJ, and
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: the governor of Alaska, who is a Republican, will move
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: to annul that particular election.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: And that election could be put on hold.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely. I think, well, listen, the Justice Department, the DOJ,
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: was already investigating this. And so my belief is she's
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: got bigger problems than just an election. She might get
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: charged for this. I mean, she obviously lied and lied
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: and lied and lied and lied over and over again.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: But there's a big lesson in this. especially if you're
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: a manager. You treat the people under you well, because
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: if they all get together and turn on you, especially
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: in an election, and especially if you're doing something sneaky
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: like this, it could end up with you losing the election.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: But worse than that, it can end up with you
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: in jail.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Up next, we'll give you an update on the continued
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: count of the balloting in the Israeli election and what
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: the outcome might be. Wow, this election cycle internationally with democracies,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: neck-and-neck polling, neck-and-neck voting.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: We saw that in Brazil.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: We saw that yesterday with vote returns in Israel continuing
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: to come in. It was neck-and-neck polling, and it's neck-and-neck,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: the final... ballots still being counted. So it comes down to, Larry,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: that the two leaders of the PAC, who are the
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: leaders of the PAC in the polls, are the sitting
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Prime Minister, Bibi Netanyahu, and his right-wing coalition. So that
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: means his party, Likud, and many of the ultra-right-wing parties
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: that he established a government with, they are going to
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: be given the first opportunity to assemble a coalition to
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: give them 61 seats. out of the 120 seats in
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: the Knesset. So Herzog, the president of Israel, will say, okay, Bibi,
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: you got a week to try to put together 61 seats.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: If Bibi is unable to do it, then the number
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: two guy, Ezenkot, him and his coalition, which aren't that
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: far from being far right, they're a little less conservative,
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: but they agree on a lot of issues, then he's
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: given a week. And then if they can't get it
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: together for 61 votes, Herzog could weigh in and say, well,
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: this is what the plurality of Israelis want. They can
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: just come back and do it all over again. The
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Arabic parties, there are two of them. One is, ironically,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: an Arabic Zionist party. It is made mostly of Christians
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: who live in Israel, Christians who are Palestinians. And the
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: other party is mostly Muslims who are Palestinians who live
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: in Israel. They don't believe in the state of Israel.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: They're like a lot of the ultra-Orthodox. So it can
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: get very, very confusing.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: Well, should point out, they have 19 seats. Yes. So
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: they are a major player in these negotiations right now.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: That's really fascinating.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: So obviously, it's highly unlikely that they would join the
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: coalition for Bibi to get 61. But Ezenkot, who ran
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: against Bibi and said, never. Never will I have any
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: of the party members of either of the Arab parties
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: as part of my coalition. Now he's sort of like vacillating, hum-de-dum, hum-de-da.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: And again, this is another nail-biter. He gets down to
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: the fact that when all is said and done, just
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: like has happened recently where they had four elections in
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: one year alone, they may have to come.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Back and do it all over again.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Now, normally their process is every four years they have
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: a parliamentary election. But recently, because of the neck and
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: neck races involving Bibi and his challengers, there have been
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: as many as four in one year. So voters had fatigue,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: but not in this turnout. It was a world record turnout.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Everybody coming, including those Israelis who live overseas, about 50,000
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: of them who are able to vote, except there's one
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: day of voting, there's no mail-in balloting, and you must
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: be at one of the 16 polling locations in Israel
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: and cast your ballot in person.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Which requires you fly in.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: And obviously you spend a few days in order to
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: cast your vote.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Here's what's fascinating to me. Well, a couple of things
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: are fascinating. If they end up having to have another election,
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: how many of the tens of thousands of people that
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: flew black to Israel to vote are going to do
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: it a second time or even can afford to do
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: it a second time. So it's going to be interesting.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: There's probably going to be less votes, but I was
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: watching CNN and they had their you know, Israeli expert
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: from Israel that was being asked the question. Now, if
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: they end up with another election, where would the hell
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: would that go? And he said, I have no idea.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: He said, I didn't even see this one coming the
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: way it came right now. This is a nightmare scenario
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: for everybody because it sounds like you have three sides,
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: possibly five sides, that don't get along, that don't want
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: to work with each other. And it's going to be
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: interesting to see over the next couple of weeks to
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: see who is going to give in and what they're
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: going to get in return. This is horse trading going
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: on right now.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. A lot of quid pro quo.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: But remember, Bibi has gone on record as saying he
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: wants to renew the attacks on Iran right after the midterms,
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: his election, meaning his election, and Trump has likewise said
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: the same. So will that have an impact if they
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: have to do it all over again? Because Bibi wants
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: regime change. He wants to do bombing throughout Iran. His opponent, Escanada, said, no, no,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: I support Trump's economic pressure on Tehran and also their
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: desire to bomb the nuclear weapons site. They don't really
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: differ all that much in terms of wanting to get
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Iran battling.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Hezbollah in Lebanon.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: I don't think any of the people who voted for
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Bibi or voted for Esenkat and his coalition will change
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: voting again.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: I think you're going to end up getting the same results. Well,
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: since they're so close politically and they're so close in
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: their desires... There may be. They may be able to
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: work out something. It doesn't seem like that now. And
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: it sounds to me like every of the experts say
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: it doesn't seem like that right now.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Having been in Israel from Golan Heights to Eilat, Israelis
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: are very astute politically. They almost never agree on anything.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, I had to get in between more shouting
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: matches of people who differ in a.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Very small– they have like 30 parties in Israel. So
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: to be continued.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Self-interest and power is going to play into this, and
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: that really determines this. If somebody is offered enough, if
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: they get a I-can't-say-no offer, that's going to be pretty fascinating.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: We talked a moment ago about the big scandal in Alaska–
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: Our White House and Washington correspondent John Decker was in
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Alaska with the president. We'll ask him if he has
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: any insights into it. I'm sure he will when we
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: come back after the 7 o'clock news.
