Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, you know, if you had never known where Cornell
- 0:03Speaker 1: University was up in Ithaca, New York, you certainly know now.
- 0:08Speaker 1: Not just locally, not just statewide, not just across the nation,
- 0:12Speaker 1: but across the world. Because just as you had an
- 0:18Speaker 1: entire movement that started Me Too, now you have a
- 0:24Speaker 1: movement that has started as a result of this Cornell investigation.
- 0:30Speaker 1: that is being done on behalf of Jane Doe. There
- 0:35Speaker 1: are people doxing as we speak, trying to find out
- 0:38Speaker 1: who this young lady is, and no doubt they're going
- 0:41Speaker 1: to put her name out there for public consumption on
- 0:44Speaker 1: the many internet formats that exist. We've gotten further information
- 0:50Speaker 1: from the university after it was announced by Governor Hochul
- 0:53Speaker 1: that she is assigning as a special counsel for the
- 0:57Speaker 1: investigation the Attorney General Tish James, to take over for
- 1:02Speaker 1: the local DA, that records show that campus police had
- 1:07Speaker 1: informed the DA that they had conducted additional interviews with
- 1:11Speaker 1: the suspects beyond taking a statement, and apparently he declined
- 1:17Speaker 1: to look into it or accept the information. And we've
- 1:20Speaker 1: learned more about how the assault took place. Apparently the
- 1:24Speaker 1: young lady told the authorities that she had been placed
- 1:27Speaker 1: in a closet She was like bait for a group
- 1:31Speaker 1: of hungry lions, and she was continuously assaulted. We also
- 1:37Speaker 1: learned that as a result of the investigation, two of
- 1:41Speaker 1: the students were expelled, two were suspended for two semesters
- 1:44Speaker 1: and welcome back. One had graduated, and two were found
- 1:47Speaker 1: not responsible. But Cornell is looking... Worse and worse as
- 1:53Speaker 1: time goes on. I know the chancellor had something to
- 1:57Speaker 1: say publicly over the weekend, Larry.
- 2:00Speaker 2: We must do everything we can to prevent what happened
- 2:04Speaker 2: to Jane Doe and everyone before her and anyone after
- 2:09Speaker 2: her from ever happening again.
- 2:12Speaker 3: Curtis, he was awful. The president was awful in his statement.
- 2:16Speaker 3: I know he had all of these legal things he
- 2:19Speaker 3: needed to hit and stay away from, but he showed
- 2:24Speaker 3: no emotion. He didn't show any kind of caring for
- 2:28Speaker 3: Jane Doe. All he was trying to do was get
- 2:31Speaker 3: out in front of criticism and lawsuits against Cornell University. Look,
- 2:36Speaker 3: there's going to be a lot of people that are
- 2:38Speaker 3: fired at Cornell University. He might be one of them because...
- 2:43Speaker 3: There are so many people that failed this young girl.
- 2:46Speaker 3: It sounds like she did all the right things and
- 2:50Speaker 3: there was nobody there for her.
- 2:52Speaker 2: There are real legal and privacy limits on what we
- 2:56Speaker 2: can say, but we will make a greater effort to
- 3:00Speaker 2: explain what we can to provide context about the actions
- 3:03Speaker 2: Cornell has taken and to be more transparent.
- 3:07Speaker 3: And that's all we get from this doof. Did you
- 3:09Speaker 3: hear any, did you hear for a moment there any sorrow? Any,
- 3:14Speaker 3: oh my God, I can't believe this would happen. Oh
- 3:16Speaker 3: my God, if this was my daughter, I'd want to
- 3:18Speaker 3: kill the person.
- 3:20Speaker 4: No.
- 3:20Speaker 1: No, no.
- 3:21Speaker 3: He was very staid. It's almost like he was reading
- 3:24Speaker 3: a statement. It was almost like a hostage statement.
- 3:27Speaker 1: From the, no doubt, the massive number of attorneys who
- 3:30Speaker 1: were at the beck and call of Cornell University. But,
- 3:34Speaker 1: He made it seem like he was handcuffed, like he
- 3:37Speaker 1: had no other choice because of privacy concerns. And that's
- 3:42Speaker 1: not true. Uh, you have a defense counsel now, uh,
- 3:46Speaker 1: who is, uh, suing the university. I'm sure it'd be
- 3:50Speaker 1: more than happy to meet with the university because you're
- 3:52Speaker 1: going to have to resolve this civil suit and boy,
- 3:55Speaker 1: Cornell is going to be paying a lot. But in
- 3:57Speaker 1: the interim, uh, The university might learn of some information
- 4:02Speaker 1: if the defense counsel wanted to reveal it as part
- 4:05Speaker 1: of a settlement that would be extraordinarily helpful to them.
- 4:08Speaker 1: They don't seem interested in doing any of that. It
- 4:11Speaker 1: seems like they're just going to put their backs to
- 4:13Speaker 1: the wall, going to take a public beating continuously. I mean,
- 4:17Speaker 1: whoever heard of Cornell before Dartmouth, most people didn't even
- 4:21Speaker 1: know where they were, even Brown to an extent. It
- 4:23Speaker 1: was always the big ones, you know, Yale, Harvard, Columbia. Princeton.
- 4:28Speaker 1: Those were the big four Ivy League schools. But now
- 4:32Speaker 1: the whole world knows about Cornell. Everybody knows them now.
- 4:35Speaker 3: And you said they look like they were putting their
- 4:38Speaker 3: backs against a wall and making some type of hostage statement. No,
- 4:43Speaker 3: it was a firing squad. Everybody that made a statement,
- 4:46Speaker 3: everybody that covered this up, everybody that finagled that report...
- 4:52Speaker 3: So the word rape wasn't used in it, although she
- 4:55Speaker 3: said it twice in her statement to the police department,
- 4:59Speaker 3: should resign. I can't believe people haven't already resigned. The
- 5:04Speaker 3: head of the Cornell Police Department.
- 5:06Speaker 1: Gone.
- 5:07Speaker 3: You're going to be gone either way. Do it nobly.
- 5:11Speaker 3: Just get out of there. Anybody that turned that report
- 5:14Speaker 3: over to the DA and hid all that information, gone.
- 5:18Speaker 3: You should be leaving. And I think the only reason
- 5:20Speaker 3: they're not right now is because Letitia James has taken
- 5:25Speaker 3: over the investigation. And that means there's going to be
- 5:28Speaker 3: a lot of people that are going to jail. Not
- 5:31Speaker 3: just those men that were in the gang rape, but
- 5:34Speaker 3: anybody that tried to cover it up.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think also– I'm sorry, Larry. I think
- 5:38Speaker 1: very quickly also, based on the local DA who has
- 5:43Speaker 1: limited resources and didn't appear in his initial statements to
- 5:47Speaker 1: be a bit of a country bumpkin, when you're the
- 5:50Speaker 1: attorney general of any state, you have endless resources, lots
- 5:54Speaker 1: of staff lawyers who deal with civil and also criminal complaints.
- 5:58Speaker 1: So she has the staff that can do the deep dive.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Sorry about that.
- 6:02Speaker 3: Yeah, you heard Trump talk about her and said, the
- 6:05Speaker 3: people that she's gone after, you're not going to get
- 6:06Speaker 3: a fair shake.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Did we have Cuomo talk about her and the 13
- 6:10Speaker 1: sexual harassment charges? No, he didn't say anything. Oh, he
- 6:13Speaker 1: ain't the president.
- 6:14Speaker 5: We will review the facts, gather evidence, interview witnesses, and
- 6:22Speaker 5: if warranted, pursue prosecutions.
- 6:25Speaker 1: If warranted.
- 6:28Speaker 3: There's going to be prosecutions because she needs another head
- 6:31Speaker 3: on her bed stand.
- 6:32Speaker 1: What's going to happen is you have the seven, the
- 6:36Speaker 1: Cornell seven. One of them, if their defense attorney is
- 6:42Speaker 1: aggressive and bright, is going to break ranks first and
- 6:45Speaker 1: rat everybody else out and become the state's witness. I'm
- 6:50Speaker 1: sure that's taking place behind closed doors as we speak,
- 6:53Speaker 1: whereas whatever defense attorneys have been hired by family are saying, look,
- 6:58Speaker 1: we can break out of this. We can become the
- 7:01Speaker 1: state's witness. I can reach out to the attorney general's
- 7:04Speaker 1: office and say, you're willing to cooperate because whoever goes
- 7:06Speaker 1: first will end up doing no time, but you're going
- 7:09Speaker 1: to be expected to rat out all the others. But
- 7:12Speaker 1: if you don't, somebody is going to become state's witness
- 7:15Speaker 1: and then you're going to jail.
- 7:16Speaker 3: Yeah, you know who they're going to be. I mean,
- 7:18Speaker 3: it's pretty obvious who's going to turn evidence and it's
- 7:21Speaker 3: the first two. Because if you remember in her statement,
- 7:24Speaker 3: She says, I was okay with the first two guys.
- 7:27Speaker 3: I said no after that. After that, all these people
- 7:30Speaker 3: started coming and they were violent with her. So there
- 7:33Speaker 3: can be assault charges too. So those first two, and remember,
- 7:37Speaker 3: she texted one of them the next day and they
- 7:40Speaker 3: had a conversation. So they apparently kept going with a relationship.
- 7:44Speaker 3: And she said in her text, no, I had a
- 7:47Speaker 3: good time until a billion other guys showed up.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Is the way she.
- 7:51Speaker 3: Phrased it in her text.
- 7:52Speaker 1: And the other thing is that a day before the
- 7:55Speaker 1: sexual assault, the police, the campus police responded there was
- 7:59Speaker 1: an overdose on ketamine in that same frat. Hours before,
- 8:04Speaker 1: on the day of the sexual assault, they had made
- 8:08Speaker 1: a drug bust in that frat for ketamine. So then
- 8:12Speaker 1: a few hours later... You know, it was back to
- 8:15Speaker 1: Animal House. You say to yourself, what were the guardrails
- 8:18Speaker 1: in that frat? I mean, A, you had an OD
- 8:21Speaker 1: the day before on ketamine, one of the frat brothers.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Then hours before the actual sexual attack, the Cornell Police
- 8:28Speaker 1: Department makes an arrest of one of the frat members
- 8:32Speaker 1: for possession of ketamine. And then they continue this aberrant behavior.
- 8:37Speaker 1: You would have thought that would have been a warning, like, guys,
- 8:39Speaker 1: we got to chill out, man. The cops are all
- 8:42Speaker 1: over us. No, didn't matter to them.
- 8:44Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 8:44Speaker 3: And if you don't know the alias for ketamine, it
- 8:47Speaker 3: is called the date rape drug. It is given to
- 8:51Speaker 3: women so that they can go ahead and have sex
- 8:55Speaker 3: with you. That's what they're doing. I'm not going to
- 8:57Speaker 3: say it's rape, but because I'm sure in certain times
- 9:00Speaker 3: it's not. But it's supposed to loosen up women for
- 9:03Speaker 3: you on the date. Let me talk about the wonderful
- 9:06Speaker 3: thing that's come from this. The only really good thing.
- 9:09Speaker 3: is that women across the country in colleges across the
- 9:13Speaker 3: country or who graduated from colleges across the country now
- 9:17Speaker 3: have the courage to come forward. And they're all calling
- 9:20Speaker 3: themselves Jane Doe in support of the victim at Cornell University.
- 9:26Speaker 3: And they're all sharing their stories online. And I would
- 9:29Speaker 3: tell you that you really should search some of them
- 9:32Speaker 3: out because they are heartfelt and they are emotional. And also,
- 9:37Speaker 3: at Cornell University, they've now had two town halls with students,
- 9:42Speaker 3: and they've come out with their own demands on what
- 9:45Speaker 3: should be happening on their campus. Isn't it amazing that
- 9:48Speaker 3: they're the ones that are coming out and said, here's
- 9:51Speaker 3: the things that have to change? But how wonderful is that?
- 9:55Speaker 3: And there are women that are now banning together, looking
- 9:59Speaker 3: for more victims on Cornell campus. Now, this is going
- 10:03Speaker 3: to be an enormous story, not just in Cornell university,
- 10:08Speaker 3: but across the country, because now you've unleashed the silent.
- 10:12Speaker 3: They've now got the voice to come forward and say,
- 10:17Speaker 3: remember it before me too. This happened to me.
- 10:20Speaker 1: A lot of the student journalists at Cornell University did
- 10:23Speaker 1: not let this story die. Some of the same people
- 10:26Speaker 1: who interviewed me, although I was unaware of this last
- 10:29Speaker 1: year when I spoke at Cornell, some really young, bright
- 10:33Speaker 1: men and women from around the country who go to
- 10:35Speaker 1: Cornell were doing the deep dive all the time. I'd
- 10:38Speaker 1: be interested to see if the university was trying to
- 10:42Speaker 1: stop that. You see, that's the other story that hasn't
- 10:45Speaker 1: been told. The young journalists at the school have been
- 10:48Speaker 1: given credit for keeping that story alive. But was there
- 10:50Speaker 1: any attempt by the administration to thwart their effort.
- 10:53Speaker 3: As we've seen at other universities? Yeah, that'll be fascinating.
- 10:57Speaker 3: Do you know Olivia Dean? Big star right now.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Yeah. She's another one of your stars.
- 11:03Speaker 6: She is.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Who is that one about Texas? What is that song?
- 11:07Speaker 3: The number one song in the country for 24 straight weeks. Yeah,
- 11:10Speaker 3: that was a.
- 11:10Speaker 1: Pretty big deal. New York Times has just done a
- 11:13Speaker 1: glowing portrait. I am doubting Thomas about her. And what
- 11:17Speaker 1: about Olivia Deen?
- 11:18Speaker 3: Olivia Deen's got the number two song in the country
- 11:21Speaker 3: right now and has had several huge hits. But this one,
- 11:26Speaker 3: she may have ripped off. and she's in some big trouble.
- 11:29Speaker 3: I'll play the two songs for you coming up next,
- 11:32Speaker 3: and you be the judge. Plus, a chance to see
- 11:34Speaker 3: A Bronx Tale, the one-man show starring Chaz Palminteri at 825. Well,
- 11:41Speaker 3: yet another music star has been accused of ripping off
- 11:45Speaker 3: a song. You get tired of all these accusations after
- 11:50Speaker 3: a while. This is filed against Olivia Dean, if you
- 11:53Speaker 3: haven't heard from her. Olivia Dean's one of the biggest
- 11:56Speaker 3: stars in the country right now.
- 11:57Speaker 1: Olivia Newton-John, when she was alive, I get that. But
- 12:01Speaker 1: Olivia Dean?
- 12:02Speaker 3: Yeah, she's a big, big star. She's got the number
- 12:04Speaker 3: two song in the country right now.
- 12:05Speaker 1: That's like Ella Langley, you know.
- 12:07Speaker 3: Yeah, she's got the number one song.
- 12:08Speaker 1: I've never heard of either one of these.
- 12:11Speaker 3: That's not surprising. We can go down the list of
- 12:15Speaker 3: all of the people. I don't think you've been listening
- 12:17Speaker 3: to Top 40 Stations, have you?
- 12:19Speaker 1: Yeah, Z100, right? That's our sister station.
- 12:22Speaker 3: They play both those songs.
- 12:24Speaker 1: I don't think so. Larry, I think you're going to
- 12:29Speaker 1: have to be corrected. But how did she get into trouble?
- 12:32Speaker 1: Who did she rip off here?
- 12:35Speaker 3: Oh, man, I don't know if I can go on.
- 12:37Speaker 3: So anyway, let me play the song for you, and
- 12:41Speaker 3: you try to figure out who she ripped off. So
- 12:45Speaker 3: a lawsuit has been filed in California by Maddie Music Group,
- 12:51Speaker 3: the publisher, the administer's Of a Great Ones catalog. This
- 12:57Speaker 3: guy was so talented. Think of the songs he... Lean
- 13:01Speaker 3: On Me, Lovely Day, Ain't No Sunshine. These are huge hits.
- 13:09Speaker 1: That's right. Lean On Me, remember, was the actual film
- 13:13Speaker 1: was done in Patterson, New Jersey about... Remember Principal Clark?
- 13:18Speaker 3: I covered him.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 13:19Speaker 3: I was at his school a lot. And I would
- 13:22Speaker 3: try to ask him questions, and he'd always go, oh,
- 13:25Speaker 3: go ahead, Mike Wallace.
- 13:28Speaker 1: East Patterson High School, yeah, with the bullhorn and the bat. Oh, man.
- 13:33Speaker 3: Yeah, I liked them.
- 13:34Speaker 1: I really liked them a lot. I got along well
- 13:37Speaker 1: with him. He was so good. He was forced out
- 13:39Speaker 1: of education unfairly. But in this case, how could the
- 13:43Speaker 1: people involved in the production putting this together? All they
- 13:47Speaker 1: would have had to do is a Spotify check. And
- 13:50Speaker 1: they would immediately have seen that this was like almost
- 13:53Speaker 1: bar for bar, sound for sound, a ripoff of Bill Withers' classic.
- 13:58Speaker 3: And here we go. And here is the difference with generations.
- 14:01Speaker 3: So you didn't know who Olivia Deen is, even though
- 14:04Speaker 3: she's a huge star. My guess is the people that
- 14:07Speaker 3: work with her don't know who Bill Withers is. You know,
- 14:11Speaker 3: because it's all these young people that are putting this together,
- 14:14Speaker 3: telling her what a great song it is, kind of
- 14:16Speaker 3: kissing up to her because she's going to be their
- 14:19Speaker 3: meal ticket. And now they're going to end up paying
- 14:22Speaker 3: a fortune. They need to settle this out of court.
- 14:25Speaker 3: Because that's one of the most obvious I've ever heard.
- 14:27Speaker 1: You know, we haven't heard anything further about Sean Puff's daddy, Combs,
- 14:32Speaker 1: and all of his indiscretions in jail. But he was
- 14:34Speaker 1: the king of the remix. But he would tell you,
- 14:37Speaker 1: I'm remixing this classic. What they did was a redo
- 14:42Speaker 1: of Bill Withers' song without paying any residuals to the
- 14:47Speaker 1: people who own the copyright trademark. They basically were like
- 14:50Speaker 1: Red China here. You know how Red China just steals
- 14:52Speaker 1: everything and denies everything. No residuals and no credit as well.
- 14:56Speaker 3: They should be giving a writing credit. All right, let's
- 14:58Speaker 3: get some talkbacks.
- 15:00Speaker 6: Hey, can you guys just clear up a couple of
- 15:02Speaker 6: facts for us? It's not like Cornell did nothing– They
- 15:08Speaker 6: expelled two people. That's a big deal. I believe they
- 15:12Speaker 6: closed down the fraternity, did they not, at the time?
- 15:16Speaker 6: And thirdly, it's not up to them whether the DA prosecutes, correct? So,
- 15:26Speaker 6: I mean, if that's all the way it is, then
- 15:28Speaker 6: they did something wrong.
- 15:30Speaker 1: Right.
- 15:31Speaker 3: They did something they didn't do enough. So let's go
- 15:33Speaker 3: through the three things you just mentioned. Yes, they did
- 15:36Speaker 3: expel two students. You're absolutely correct. But there were seven involved.
- 15:40Speaker 3: And one of them got a writing assignment, at least
- 15:43Speaker 3: one of them. But all of them got a slap
- 15:45Speaker 3: on the wrist. And you would acknowledge that deserves more
- 15:49Speaker 3: than a slap on the wrist.
- 15:51Speaker 1: But you're right.
- 15:52Speaker 3: We need to know all the facts before we say
- 15:55Speaker 3: anything about the punishments. Yes, there was an investigation, as
- 15:58Speaker 3: you mentioned. There absolutely was an investigation. But they didn't
- 16:02Speaker 3: share her interview where she said, yes, I was raped
- 16:07Speaker 3: with the DA. So, no, they are culpable in all
- 16:11Speaker 3: of this.
- 16:11Speaker 1: They scrubbed it. They scrubbed it. Absolutely.
- 16:13Speaker 3: And so, no, they did some wrong things. I forget
- 16:16Speaker 3: your third one. When I remember it, I'll get back
- 16:19Speaker 3: to it.
- 16:20Speaker 1: Letitia James, are you serious? Letitia James is going to
- 16:24Speaker 1: solve it.
- 16:25Speaker 7: There is no Donald Trump in Cornell.
- 16:29Speaker 3: So how could she possibly be successful? It has to
- 16:34Speaker 3: be something Donald Trump did, because that's all she cares about.
- 16:38Speaker 2: So why put this woman in charge of what she
- 16:42Speaker 2: can't do?
- 16:43Speaker 1: Well, ask Hans-William Elias Cuomo. 13 sexual harassment charges from
- 16:50Speaker 1: his staff and a state trooper. And by the way,
- 16:52Speaker 1: we're still paying out $ 60 million in settlements while he
- 16:57Speaker 1: just bought a mansion for $ 9 million next to his
- 16:59Speaker 1: brother Fredo in the Hamptons.
- 17:01Speaker 3: Yeah, no, those people at Cornell University are in trouble
- 17:04Speaker 3: because now she has to succeed with this because, trust me,
- 17:09Speaker 3: she's running for something else. Governor?
- 17:13Speaker 4: Maybe.
- 17:13Speaker 6: Maybe.
- 17:14Speaker 3: Let's get to Daria Albinger now with the 730 News.
- 17:17Speaker 1: Daria.
- 17:17Speaker 8: Morning, guys.
- 17:18Speaker 1: Sunny today.
- 17:18Speaker 9: We'll see a high of 69 degrees. Police are investigating
- 17:21Speaker 9: a deadly hit-and-run crash this morning in Brooklyn.
- 17:24Speaker 10: Police say a 62-year-old male driver is dead. His backseat
- 17:28Speaker 10: passenger in the hospital with injuries after being involved in
- 17:31Speaker 10: a chain reaction crash just after midnight. This was on
- 17:34Speaker 10: Ocean Parkway between Avenue R and Avenue S in Gravesend.
- 17:37Speaker 10: That forced police to shut down the parkway in that area.
- 17:40Speaker 10: The driver of one of the three vehicles involved took off.
- 17:43Speaker 10: Police are trying to find that person. I'm Scott Pringle,
- 17:46Speaker 10: WDOR News.
- 17:47Speaker 9: City Council Speaker Julie Menins called all 51 members to
- 17:50Speaker 9: a hearing today on artificial intelligence. The council will hear
- 17:53Speaker 9: from top executives about the potential dangers of the rapidly
- 17:57Speaker 9: emerging technology.
- 17:59Speaker 8: A U.S.
- 17:59Speaker 9: Marine is under arrest accused of killing a Japanese woman
- 18:02Speaker 9: in Okinawa.
- 18:04Speaker 11: The Japanese Broadcasting Corporation reports a cord-like object was still
- 18:08Speaker 11: wrapped around the victim's neck when her body was found.
- 18:10Speaker 11: Authorities say they have video of 20-year-old Lance Corporal Devin
- 18:14Speaker 11: Ballard and the victim entering a hotel together and video
- 18:18Speaker 11: of Ballard leaving with her belongings. He denies involvement.
- 18:22Speaker 9: ABC's Hannah Batta. One of the people arrested for exploring
- 18:27Speaker 9: the city's sewer system is now in ICE custody. The
- 18:30Speaker 9: feds say Samuel Reveron Escanio was one of two men
- 18:33Speaker 9: arrested last month for trespassing as they emerged from a
- 18:36Speaker 9: manhole near a hotel in Midtown where many foreign dignitaries
- 18:39Speaker 9: were staying for the U.N. General Assembly. NYPD released him
- 18:43Speaker 9: despite DHS saying that he's here illegally from Venezuela. Well,
- 18:48Speaker 9: with less than a month to go to the midterms,
- 18:50Speaker 9: President Trump is hitting the campaign trail again. this time
- 18:52Speaker 9: in support of Republican candidates in Nebraska. The Giants and
- 18:56Speaker 9: the Rangers won. The Jets lost. The Yankees look to
- 18:58Speaker 9: tie up Tampa Bay in Game 2 of the American
- 19:00Speaker 9: League Divisional Series tonight. Next news, 8 o'clock, bulletins at once.
- 19:05Speaker 9: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
- 19:08Speaker 1: Oh, right on time. Sportsmeister extraordinaire Warner Wolfe on the
- 19:12Speaker 1: Cardiac Giants who win again, the Jets who failed. And
- 19:16Speaker 1: the Yankees were lucky to get one hit. Well, right
- 19:19Speaker 1: on time. Sportsmeister extraordinaire, Warner Wolf. First, Warner, about the
- 19:26Speaker 1: cardiac New York Giants. If you're a Giant fan like
- 19:29Speaker 1: I am, you're on the verge of cardiac arrest. But
- 19:32Speaker 1: you're happy, right? You're happy.
- 19:35Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
- 19:36Speaker 7: But let me say that I'm going to put an
- 19:38Speaker 7: asterisk in you. When I was a sportscaster, I was
- 19:41Speaker 7: always neutral. I didn't want to become a homer, so...
- 19:45Speaker 7: I was never anybody's fan. Just show me the right play.
- 19:49Speaker 7: But anyway, get to the point. For the Giants, second
- 19:53Speaker 7: straight week's a game-winning interception. One in the end zone,
- 19:58Speaker 7: one at the two. Last week was 17 seconds left,
- 20:01Speaker 7: and yesterday with 11 seconds left. So the Giants win. Otherwise,
- 20:08Speaker 7: they would be 1-3. rather than 3-1. And as long
- 20:12Speaker 7: as Jameis Winston can keep the Giants in the game,
- 20:16Speaker 7: you know he had 250-yard street touchdowns, and Dominic Zavada
- 20:21Speaker 7: can keep making field goals, this guy's now 9-for-9. The
- 20:26Speaker 7: Giants won't need Jonathan James McCarthy, otherwise known as J.J.
- 20:32Speaker 7: Now last week, you guys laughed at me When I
- 20:36Speaker 7: said John Harbaugh would go after his old Super Bowl
- 20:39Speaker 7: winning quarterback, 41-year-old Joe Flacco, my source said he did,
- 20:48Speaker 7: but that the Bengals wanted too much for him. Do
- 20:51Speaker 7: you know who my source was?
- 20:54Speaker 1: No, who? Joe Flacco. Me. Me.
- 21:06Speaker 7: Meanwhile, Geno Smith, man, if he continues to play like that,
- 21:11Speaker 7: just eight completions all day with just 119 yards, you
- 21:16Speaker 7: can forget the one and three jets. Now the jets
- 21:20Speaker 7: were out gained by the bears and backup quarterback, Bajan Tyson,
- 21:26Speaker 7: who he 414 yards to only 157. And once again,
- 21:29Speaker 7: I have to ask, Can Aaron Glenn, can he handle
- 21:37Speaker 7: being both a head coach and call the defensive signals
- 21:42Speaker 7: at the same time? So far, he hasn't shown he can.
- 21:46Speaker 7: And it was a huge week for the underdogs and
- 21:50Speaker 7: the points. If you bet the 15 underdogs and took
- 21:55Speaker 7: the points, you were 12-3. The underdogs beat the spread
- 22:00Speaker 7: 12 out of 15 games. And the Falcons are two
- 22:04Speaker 7: and a half point underdog against the Saints tonight. All right.
- 22:09Speaker 7: Raising Yankees again tonight in Tampa game two. Cam Schlittler
- 22:13Speaker 7: against Freddy Peralta. He's the guy that pitched for the Mets.
- 22:17Speaker 7: And they traded him at the deadline.
- 22:20Speaker 1: They gave up on him.
- 22:22Speaker 7: Yes, they did. And he's been great for the Tampa Raiders. Gosh.
- 22:29Speaker 7: And here's the advantage of winning game one in the
- 22:31Speaker 7: best three out of five. Because the winner only has
- 22:36Speaker 7: to split the remaining four games. The loser of game
- 22:40Speaker 7: one must now win three out of four. By the way,
- 22:44Speaker 7: here's one for you. The Yankees' payroll is $ 342 million
- 22:49Speaker 7: with taxes. The Rays' payroll... There's only 113 million.
- 22:57Speaker 1: But I got to tell you, I got to tell you, Warner,
- 22:59Speaker 1: I'm watching the tail end of the game. Austin Wells
- 23:02Speaker 1: gets a double down the right field line. And he
- 23:05Speaker 1: decides that you're going to stretch it into a triple.
- 23:08Speaker 1: This guy is the catcher. There's two outs in the eighth.
- 23:12Speaker 1: He should have stayed at second. The third base coach said,
- 23:14Speaker 1: stay there, stay there. He runs right to him. He
- 23:17Speaker 1: gets thrown out by Country Mile. What a dumb thing
- 23:20Speaker 1: to do.
- 23:21Speaker 7: That's right. With two outs, you know, a single scores
- 23:24Speaker 7: you from second, period. You don't try and stretch it. Now,
- 23:28Speaker 7: maybe with one out or no outs, okay, because then
- 23:31Speaker 7: a sacrifice fly.
- 23:33Speaker 4: But, no, you're right.
- 23:34Speaker 7: By the way, you know what that proves with the payrolls?
- 23:39Speaker 7: It's not how much you spend. It's how you spend it.
- 23:43Speaker 7: That's for Steve Cohen. Now, he was the worst response
- 23:48Speaker 7: trying to cover up a blunder. Mets incompetent general manager
- 23:53Speaker 7: David Stearns, who when asked about giving away his all-star
- 23:57Speaker 7: first baseman Pete Alonzo, and without a replacement, said, I
- 24:03Speaker 7: don't get a mulligan.
- 24:05Speaker 1: Mulligan?
- 24:06Speaker 7: Come on, man, this ain't golf. A mulligan is a
- 24:11Speaker 7: do-over when everyone else agrees and says, okay, you can
- 24:15Speaker 7: do it. No one agreed with you letting Alonzo go.
- 24:19Speaker 7: And all Alonzo did... was lead the American League in
- 24:22Speaker 7: home runs with 43 and RBIs with 113. And unlike
- 24:28Speaker 7: your injury-prone Mets, he never missed the game. Okay, I'm
- 24:35Speaker 7: assuming you guys are old enough. This week in sports,
- 24:39Speaker 7: October 3, 1951, it's the 75th anniversary of the Giants'
- 24:45Speaker 7: Bobby Thompson's pennant-winning home run over the Dodgers. Here was
- 24:49Speaker 7: the call by Giants radio announcer Russ Hodges. Okay, now
- 25:06Speaker 7: you guys remember.
- 25:07Speaker 1: That, right?
- 25:09Speaker 6: 1951?
- 25:09Speaker 1: How old do you think we are?
- 25:12Speaker 7: Well, I know Curtis is 72. I don't know about you.
- 25:15Speaker 1: What I do know is after that game, Bobby Thompson
- 25:18Speaker 1: took the Staten Island ferry home to Staten Island. What
- 25:22Speaker 1: a difference between now and then.
- 25:24Speaker 7: That's right. Now, let me ask you something. Here's my
- 25:28Speaker 7: take on this. It's been looked upon as one of
- 25:32Speaker 7: the most famous home runs in baseball history. But was it?
- 25:36Speaker 7: Because 50 years after the home run, it was revealed
- 25:40Speaker 7: that that the Giants used a high-powered telescope from center
- 25:44Speaker 7: field connected to a buzzer, stealing the Dodgers catcher's signs
- 25:50Speaker 7: to the pitchers and then flashed to the Giants' batters.
- 25:54Speaker 7: So the Giants' batters knew what was coming. Okay, yes,
- 25:58Speaker 7: they did have to hit it, but they knew what
- 25:59Speaker 7: was coming. Although Thompson always denied he didn't know the pitch.
- 26:07Speaker 7: But here's something for you. You know, after the Giants
- 26:11Speaker 7: installed that system, they won 37 games and lost only seven.
- 26:22Speaker 7: And also, keep in mind, the Giants didn't need a
- 26:25Speaker 7: home run to stay in the game. There was only
- 26:28Speaker 7: one out, not two outs. And they had runners at
- 26:31Speaker 7: second and third. In other words, a base hit would
- 26:34Speaker 7: have tied the score with Willie Mays on deck.
- 26:37Speaker 4: Hmm.
- 26:37Speaker 7: I'm thinking maybe Kirk Gibson's two-run pinch hit homer, and
- 26:42Speaker 7: I know you guys remember that, on one leg.
- 26:45Speaker 3: Oh, sure.
- 26:46Speaker 7: Two outs, not one out like Thompson. I think that's
- 26:50Speaker 7: just or maybe more impressive.
- 26:52Speaker 1: I think you're a doubting Thompson.
- 26:54Speaker 7: That's good. That's good, Curtis. That's good for you. All right,
- 27:04Speaker 7: the stooge of the week has to go to New
- 27:05Speaker 7: York Times columnist Lydia Polgreen, whose headline read, Mam Dami
- 27:13Speaker 7: is showing the world how it's done. You've got to
- 27:17Speaker 7: be kidding. Yeah, if you want socialism or communism, which
- 27:22Speaker 7: has never worked anywhere for the people, and you want
- 27:26Speaker 7: someone who has anti-Semitic views... and is ruining the city,
- 27:31Speaker 7: then yes, you want Mam Donnie to show the world
- 27:34Speaker 7: how it's done. Come on, Lydia, man, get real. And finally.
- 27:40Speaker 3: Warner, Warner, Warner, stop for one second. Didn't you know
- 27:43Speaker 3: that they have a special relationship, Mam Donnie and Curtis?
- 27:47Speaker 3: Did you see them holding hands over the weekend?
- 27:50Speaker 1: That's right. Oh, no, I missed it. I'm cutting you off, Warner.
- 27:54Speaker 1: I'm cutting you off because that was a shot at me.
- 27:56Speaker 1: That was a shot below the belt. We'll hear from
- 28:00Speaker 1: you same time, same place next week. But up next
- 28:03Speaker 1: from the streets, Natalie Magliore, AI. They don't even have
- 28:08Speaker 1: actual intelligence at the city council. Are they going to
- 28:10Speaker 1: be talking about AI today? Well, it's ground into camera. Now,
- 28:16Speaker 1: it's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
- 28:22Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, Natalie. I am so happy because
- 28:26Speaker 3: I think this AI thing has gotten out of control.
- 28:29Speaker 3: And the industry leaders tried to take it on. They
- 28:31Speaker 3: haven't done well. World leaders tried to take it on.
- 28:33Speaker 3: They haven't done well. Thank God the brainiacs at the
- 28:36Speaker 3: New York City Council are finally tackling this issue. And
- 28:41Speaker 3: you talk to New Yorkers about that. They must be thrilled.
- 28:45Speaker 12: Love the sarcasm that is just seeping from you right now. Yes, look,
- 28:51Speaker 12: major tech companies are preparing to testify at the New
- 28:55Speaker 12: York City Council hearing about artificial intelligence today. The hearing
- 29:00Speaker 12: follows an outpouring of public concern over just how powerful
- 29:05Speaker 12: AI is and is becoming, with industry insiders sounding the
- 29:09Speaker 12: alarm last month, one of which saying AI could kill
- 29:13Speaker 12: all humans. in the next decade, if you guys remember
- 29:16Speaker 12: that headline. That was pretty striking. We did stories in
- 29:20Speaker 12: connection to that, too. So President Trump has dismissed these concerns,
- 29:25Speaker 12: but New Yorkers looking at the technology with a more
- 29:28Speaker 12: critical mind.
- 29:29Speaker 1: I think it's a slippery slope.
- 29:30Speaker 8: I think it's useful in certain areas, and I think
- 29:34Speaker 8: it's harmful in certain areas.
- 29:35Speaker 1: I mean, I've used ChatGPT for, like, write, like, assistance
- 29:38Speaker 1: to write, like, emails. for work and stuff like that.
- 29:41Speaker 4: Well, on one hand, I understand it's really convenient. It's
- 29:43Speaker 4: like how we used Google, like, back then with, like,
- 29:46Speaker 4: just searching things up, and it gives you a summary
- 29:49Speaker 4: and everything. But what I don't like about it is
- 29:53Speaker 4: replacing your thinking process.
- 29:56Speaker 8: Actually, anything that Donald Trump is pushing... or is into
- 30:00Speaker 8: i'm i'm totally against because everything that he's against represents
- 30:05Speaker 8: sort of like.
- 30:05Speaker 1: Me and uh you are biased the president has called
- 30:10Speaker 1: it super intelligence si haven't you gotten the memo on that.
- 30:14Speaker 12: We're we're moving into it right now curtis i love
- 30:17Speaker 12: this the president has gone as far ready my next
- 30:21Speaker 12: line in my little script that's now gone awry everybody
- 30:23Speaker 12: now The president has gone as far as attempting to
- 30:27Speaker 12: rebrand artificial intelligence. I love that it's not renaming. He's
- 30:30Speaker 12: rebranding it. That's the new thing that people do. Signing
- 30:33Speaker 12: an executive order mandating the federal government stop referring to
- 30:37Speaker 12: it as artificial intelligence and start calling it super intelligence.
- 30:43Speaker 12: The president had said artificial made it sound fake, but
- 30:47Speaker 12: there's no shortage of reaction from people who are skeptical, skeptical.
- 30:51Speaker 12: who are wary of the technology.
- 30:55Speaker 13: That seems very disturbing to me. And, you know, I'm
- 30:59Speaker 13: concerned for the people of the world, you know. It
- 31:01Speaker 13: makes it inhumane because it could get through the wrong hands,
- 31:05Speaker 13: you know. There's different type of people around the world.
- 31:08Speaker 13: Some are doing it for good, but some are doing.
- 31:10Speaker 6: It for bad.
- 31:10Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't hear that, but I'm not surprised either.
- 31:13Speaker 4: There's no point in doing so. Like, it's not super
- 31:17Speaker 4: in any way. The things it does are all accumulated
- 31:19Speaker 4: from human knowledge. Like, we're clearly capable of doing it.
- 31:23Speaker 4: Why are we naming it super when it's not? It's
- 31:26Speaker 4: just accumulating all of the things we already did.
- 31:29Speaker 1: I guess not a Trump crowd down there today.
- 31:31Speaker 10: Right.
- 31:32Speaker 12: Really, you're in New York. It's... It's not even a
- 31:36Speaker 12: mixed bag sometimes. Like when somebody starts talking about support
- 31:39Speaker 12: for Trump, I'm like, keep going. We don't get this
- 31:42Speaker 12: a lot. We got to get both sides as much
- 31:43Speaker 12: as we can. Now, the city council says it will
- 31:47Speaker 12: use today to focus on the risks of AI with
- 31:49Speaker 12: members expected to introduce a series of bills. One would
- 31:53Speaker 12: include a requirement to have a human kill switch that
- 31:56Speaker 12: could shut down AI systems.
- 31:58Speaker 1: If it gets out of.
- 31:59Speaker 12: Control or even give New Yorkers the right to sue
- 32:02Speaker 12: certain companies for specific harms. And as debate swells, the
- 32:08Speaker 12: question really becomes, should we be afraid of AI?
- 32:12Speaker 1: That's a good question. I don't know that I can
- 32:13Speaker 1: answer it.
- 32:14Speaker 3: I would say that I'm generally afraid of things I
- 32:16Speaker 3: don't understand that seem to have a lot of prevalence
- 32:19Speaker 3: in society.
- 32:20Speaker 10: You should be.
- 32:21Speaker 8: I was reading an article about how they copied a
- 32:24Speaker 8: man's voice and opened his house door and and his
- 32:28Speaker 8: kids didn't know, and they robbed his entire house. Like,
- 32:31Speaker 8: I would never want that. I didn't grow up like that.
- 32:34Speaker 8: I mean, technology does advance, but it gives you no
- 32:38Speaker 8: sort of privacy. It could put you in any situation.
- 32:41Speaker 8: It could, like, put you in situations financially. I'm just
- 32:45Speaker 8: not really interested in it.
- 32:47Speaker 1: So let me get this straight. The city council that
- 32:49Speaker 1: doesn't even have AI, actual intelligence. is going to try
- 32:54Speaker 1: to figure out this complicated issue. The young lady made
- 32:58Speaker 1: a very good explanation, you know, the problem. They wouldn't
- 33:02Speaker 1: even be able to understand what that woman was talking about. Right.
- 33:05Speaker 12: Well, I think that maybe you need to show up
- 33:08Speaker 12: and teach them what actual intelligence is. I like that.
- 33:12Speaker 12: That was a good line.
- 33:13Speaker 3: Speaking of actual intelligence, say this word one more time.
- 33:16Speaker 10: Skeptical.
- 33:16Speaker 1: There you go.
- 33:19Speaker 11: I can't do that.
- 33:24Speaker 12: I was like trying to figure it out. Gosh, couldn't
- 33:27Speaker 12: get it out this morning.
- 33:27Speaker 13: It's Monday.
- 33:28Speaker 6: I know.
- 33:29Speaker 3: That was quick to come up with wary, though.
- 33:31Speaker 2: I know.
- 33:31Speaker 3: That was very good.
- 33:32Speaker 6: Thank you.
- 33:33Speaker 1: Well, Natalie Magliore will be back with us same time,
- 33:36Speaker 1: same place tomorrow at 7.50.
