• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 0:00
  Speaker 2: Larry, Natalie, our audience. I've run into so many people
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: because of my age and obviously the age of a
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: lot of our listeners where you're either on the cusp
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: of possibly being able to retire or you've retired. Or
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: you've sworn to yourself, I'll never retire because if I
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: do retire, I'll probably drop dead in a week. It's
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: almost like three variables. I can't seem to avoid it.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: And when you just walk the hallways here at WOR,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: this iconic station, 710 WOR, the number one talk station
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: in New York. And you remember, wow, John Gambling retired early.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: How old was John Gambling, Natalie, when he decided to
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: hang it up, go down to Florida and just enjoy
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: his retirement years?
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's a good question. I thought he was.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Wait a second. You were with all three Gambling's granddaddy.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it started in 1922. I don't know. I guess
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: he was in his 60s.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but when, Larry, you were away. 66.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: I just looked it up. Yeah, 66. You got it.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he could have continued on. It's not like
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: he was tired or impaired. He just decided he came
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: on with us one day when you weren't able to
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: be here, Larry. And he just said, I had to
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: hang it up. There's just no way that I was
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: going to continue to do talk radio, which is not
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the hardest job in the world compared to what a
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: lot of other people have to do. But it grinds you,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: like I said, when you have to wake up in
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: the early morning hours like John did for so many years.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: I love when people know when to retire, you know,
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: when they know this is it and then they're comfortable
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: with it. That's incredible. That's a gift because I think
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: a lot of people, there's two things. You're not in
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: a position when you can retire. And that's a shame
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: that people don't feel like they're in a position to
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: financially retire. So they keep on working. And then there's
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: other people that just want to keep working because they
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: like that lifestyle and they keep trying to hold on
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: to it as long as they can because they feel
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: like they'll be bored if they're not working. I think
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: they're the two things that go into it.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, think about it. From time to time, we
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: reach out to Joe Bartlett down in South Carolina with
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: all the other snowbirds who've moved down there to retirement
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: homes or retirement villages. He's playing bocce. He's enjoying his retirement. Well,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: look how many years he worked here at WOR. In
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the early mornings, which is really the grind, they can
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: really grind you. And I just say to myself, some,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: if they could, will work forever until they die. Others,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: it's like they're marking time before the parole hearing. You know,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: a prisoner is in jail and he's got the calendar
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: up and he's just putting an.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: X on for his next parole hearing. Well, those are
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: people that know they can afford it. That have saved
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: for it. So many people just don't have the money
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: to do it, and Social Security is just not going
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: to cut it. Somebody with pensions and things like that.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: I have two sisters that are teachers. Man, they have
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: the best retirement package in the world. They count the days,
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: just like you're saying, as many teachers do. When retirement comes, boom,
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: health care for the whole family. Because of the union,
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: they have a pension. They're set. They are absolutely set
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: as long as they have tenure. But I'll tell you what,
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: there's statistics on this. One third of workers have postponed
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: their retirements.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: One third.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: So that's pretty amazing. And 15% work past 70. So
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: it is something that's happening. And it's because of the
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: cost of living. It's because of healthcare expenses. It's because
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: a lot of places are getting rid of pensions. And
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: so because of that, You get to retirement, you go, well,
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: how am I going to live? And then the other
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: part of it is you go to yourself, what am
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: I going to do on a daily basis? If you
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: don't have money to travel, if you don't have family nearby,
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: then you're thinking, what am I going to be? Just
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: sitting here by myself?
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Because I was going to say, you know, retirement, they
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: have studies that link retirement to rapid decline of cognitive
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: function and physical activity, social engagement and all those things that,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: you know, that come along with work keeps you stimulated.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: But I feel like I could find something that doesn't
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: require waking up at 3 a.m. that I could figure
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: something out.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Your life is full. You know what I mean? There's
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: people that their lives are full. I feel like my
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: life is full. Like if I retired, I'd spend time
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: with my grandkids. If I retired, I'd spend more time
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: with my kids. Problem is right now I have two
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: kids in college. Yeah, exactly.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to hang out at the frat's. Come on, Dad,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: hoist a few.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: He's still got some expenses.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: He's still got a bunch of kids under him.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you, my dad, merchant seaman for 50 years,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: he retired at 67. He started sailing at 17, middle
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: of the Depression. He was the oldest son in Chicago.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: He had to go sail flatboats on the Mississippi, then
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: banana boats down to Guatemala and Honduras, and then as
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: a merchant mariner, was involved in World War II like
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: so many other men.
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: But.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: He was forced to retire at 67. So the way
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: traditionally it would work for him, he'd be away eight
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: months of the year. Eight months solid of the year,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: he'd be sailing the seven seas. Then he'd be home
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: a solid four months around the clock. So for eight months,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I had freedom. For four months, I was in lockdown.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Because my dad understood every trick that a young guy
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: could pull that normally the mother would not understand because
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: you could do no wrong with your mother, especially in
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Italian-American households. But for four months, he was at home.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: He loved it. So when he did retire at 67,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: he adjusted nicely because he had been away for so
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: long of his working life. Imagine eight months a year.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: except when they were tied up in port when there
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: were strikes. And those were really tough times. I'll never
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: forget to be sitting at the dinner table, say, hey, kids,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: my two sisters and me, we really got to cut back.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: There's no strike fun. So you're going to have spaghetti,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: but no sauce, no gravy.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: And I mean, really cut it down.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Craft macaroni, you know, four boxes for a buck. I mean,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: everybody had to do it. At your age, you did understand. Yeah,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: totally understood. Totally understood. Because he took me to the
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: strike lines and I saw other guys who were in
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: the same condition and they were really worried. Really worried,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: is this the right thing? Because there was no strike fund.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: You were out there. You didn't even know if you'd
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: have a job.
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: And then they had the goons, you know, who would
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: come for you from the company if they decided they
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: wanted to break the strike and bring scabs in. So
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I remember those situations, but I always remember my dad
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: at the age of 67. He goes, good. I'm here
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: in the house. I can catch up on all the
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: time that I missed. because I was selling the 7C.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: So he welcomed it and he kept himself busy.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: You know, we need to talk to Joe Bartlett again
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: because he's probably the happiest retired person I speak to.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: That is true. That is true.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: He absolutely is.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: I want to know what his secret sauce was because that's.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: How I want to be. He knew his time because
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: I know he kept putting it off. They kept thinking
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: he was going to retire and he didn't. And then
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: he put it off and put it off and put
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: it off. And when he did... He was happy.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Well, he actually we had a retirement party planned for him.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Everything was set to go. Then COVID hit and then
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: he stayed on because, you know, we were in this
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: global crisis and he's like, this probably isn't the time.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: And then he was able to work from home and
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: it changed his lifestyle a little bit. Yeah, and then
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: he hung around for another couple of years.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: Even when I wasn't here, I kept hearing that he
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: was going to retire. I kept hearing that he was
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: constantly going to retire. And then he never did.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: But then he was living in, you know, the Carolinas
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: doing his broadcast from the house.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Have you thought about your retirement? Oh, I do.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: And I realize it's nowhere near perfect. You know, financially,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: it's just not even close.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's interesting.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: So it's like I don't even try to think about
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: it because it could get depressing.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: But if, in fact, all things were even, and maybe
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: this was back 30 years, when you could plan a
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: retirement because you didn't have all these additional costs and
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: unexpected future developments, what age might you have thought about retiring, Natalie?
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: I would say in my mid-60s.
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: Hmm.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: I would want to hopefully have still good health. Hopefully,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: maybe I'd have an extended family at that point. Maybe
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: my kids would start their own families, and then I
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: could do that. I'm a big person of volunteering, so
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: I know I would start volunteering somewhere.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, there is no doubt about it.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: I think that's why people set 65 as their retirement age,
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: because they feel like they still have life left. They
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: won't be stuck inside all the time. They could travel.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: They can still travel and do things. I think that's
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: why people come up with that. You talked about your dad.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: My dad owned an advertising and public relations company in Philadelphia.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: He owned a building. And he sold it. And it was–
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: you just saw him shrink. I mean, when he– he
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: used to have an office in our house that we
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: weren't allowed to go into during the day because that's–
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: he kept working. He kept writing books. He kept writing articles.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: He'd work with companies freelance. And so when I look
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: at him, I think to myself, there's a guy that
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: never should have retired.
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: He shouldn't have because you could see it was eating
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: at him.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Well, my dad retired rather young, moved to Florida, and
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: then got into politics and became the first mayor of
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: the town that he lived in.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: What town was that?
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Estero, Florida.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Where the hell is a sterile Florida?
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: It's actually next to Bonita Springs, in between Fort Myers
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: and Naples.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: He's close to Warner. Did it have a salary, or
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: is it one of the mayorships where you don't get
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: a salary?
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: No, I think there was a.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: A stipend?
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: I don't think he was living off of it.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: So he went to Florida and got into politics there.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: He started off doing like, you know, work with an
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: environment and things like that. And he got socially active
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: and then it started growing. But that, you know, he
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: was that kind of personality. He couldn't stay home.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: I love that.
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: So look at that. Her dad won.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Got proactive. Got proactive in retirement.
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: Be careful, Curtis.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: It could be running me one day.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 10:15
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: This is amazing.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: I know. So life after retirement could be very interesting
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: for people.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but notice the personalities. All different types of personalities.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Some who adapt to it right away. Some, as you mentioned,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: the moment they're retired, within months, they're dead.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: They're dead.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: And you say to yourself, why they were so vibrant
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: when they were at work, even though they were like
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: sardines coming in on New Jersey transit, you know, two
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: hours in, two hours out, Long Island Railroad. You say, boy,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: you would welcome that relief.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: But I don't know.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: I guess there's something. that juiced them to give them
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: a feeling that this is what they wanted to do
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: each and every day, that they looked forward to waking
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: up and listening to Larry and Curtis in the morning
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: here on 710WOR.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: But don't you think we should hear from the people
• 11:04

  Speaker 4: he was a little bit off. Now, Recently, he had
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: to go play in London. So he, right before that,
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: in the game before that, on October 4th, he got

  Speaker 4: cleated in his left calf against the Rams. That was
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: on October 4th. He saw treatment. He said, you know,
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: this is still hurting me. And he saw treatment on
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: October 8th. And they said, it's okay. You know, they

  Speaker 4: was swelling. On October 10th, it was revealed he had

  Speaker 4: blood clots, one of the first things they tell you
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: is do not fly. So he took a flight to London,
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: back from London, was in a full practice for a
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: game against the Panthers until a follow-up ultrasound showed there
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: was movement in the blood clot. And now it's more
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: than one blood clot, and it is in his lungs.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: And at first, the Eagles didn't put him on the
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: injured reserve, which means they didn't believe he was going
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: to be out for the season. And after doctor after
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: doctor got a hold of this story and said, what
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: are you doing? This is life-threatening. The Eagles finally put
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: him on the injured reserve. And now it's believed he's
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: out for the season. But in this story, and what
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: is so exasperating and so amazing is that everybody thought
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: of the game and the NFL and their home team
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: first and not a man whose life may be in jeopardy.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: They did everything to keep pushing him and pushing him
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: to play when obviously there was something going on. And
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: by the way, it was 36 hours by the time
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: he landed in London to the game was the next day.
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: He got very little sleep and still played in that game.
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: And the last person you ask if they're okay to
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: play is the player. The doctors have to say you
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: can't play. You know, it's a shame on the NFL.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: Shame on the Philadelphia Eagles for pushing him to play.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: Shame on those doctors. I mean, I think there is
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: a malpractice lawsuit in this whole thing. But I will
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: say that the tide has turned and all the NFL
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: fans and the Eagles fans are just wishing him the
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: best right now. They don't care if he plays or not. Absolutely.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: May I do a pivot and shift? It appears Aaron
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Boone will remain the manager of the hapless New York
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Yankees with the second largest payroll of Major League Baseball,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: second only to the L.A. Dodgers, both of whom failed
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: with home run ball. He's going to be the manager
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: again for another year. We're going to be in misery.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: As I watch what I predicted, Larry. that the Milwaukee
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Brewers and Tampa Rays will get into the World Series
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: because they play good old-fashioned baseball the way we were
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: taught when we were growing up. Don't just swing for
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: the home run. Hit and run, drag bunts, great defense,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: you know, pitching when it's required, teamwork. And then for
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: crashing all the Mets fans. Who came off the mound
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: yesterday for Tampa Bay against Cleveland to get him into
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: the World Series? Freddy Peralta, who the Mets gave up
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: on in July.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: He was horrible. Had a horrible start.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Coming out of the box for Tampa Bay against Colorado,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: and he's been an all-star ever since. Man, the curse
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: of the Mets be upon them. They can't seem to
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: shake this. Oh, my God, Freddy Peralta.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: I think you have crash cryings. He put his head
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: in his hands. I think he's actually now crying.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: All Met fans.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Chris is a Met fan. A lot of Met fans.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: It's unbelievable.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: This guy, they would have relegated him to the minor league.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: His salary was too expensive. So they traded him to Tampa.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: The guy won him the playoff and got him into
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: the World Series. Incredible.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: Now let's go to Daria Albinger with the 630 News. Daria.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Morning, guys.
• 18:06
  Speaker 10: Mostly sunny with a high of 70 degrees. Weather Channel

• 18:12
  Speaker 10: Knicks will get their rings and they will raise their
• 18:14
  Speaker 10: championship banner before their home opener tonight. New York is
• 18:17
  Speaker 10: hosting Philadelphia with LeBron James, who, by the way, now
• 18:21
  Speaker 10: lives here in Manhattan. So it's kind of a home
• 18:23
  Speaker 10: opener for him as well. The Supreme Court has rejected
• 18:26
  Speaker 10: an appeal from the alleged masterminds of the September 11th attacks.
• 18:30
  Speaker 11: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other alleged co-conspirators were seeking
• 18:34
  Speaker 11: to hold the American government accountable to a plea deal
• 18:36
  Speaker 11: that was later withdrawn by former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
• 18:40
  Speaker 11: The deal would have resulted in life sentences for the suspects,
• 18:44
  Speaker 11: who are currently detained at Guantanamo Bay. Following the high
• 18:47
  Speaker 11: court's decision, the three defendants will stand for a military
• 18:51
  Speaker 11: trial in 2028. The death penalty remains a possible outcome
• 18:55
  Speaker 11: for the men accused of organizing the terrorist attacks. I'm

  Speaker 4: Bulletin's at Once.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Daria. Remember when Governor Kathy Hochul kept talking
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: about subway safety, holding press conferences down in the subways,
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: saying she was sending all of these resources? Well, since
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: now several people, including someone in the last few days,
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: were murdered... on the subways she doesn't want to talk
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: about it anymore but her opponent for for governor bruce
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: blakeman is we'll tell you what he had to say
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: and talk about the governor's race when we come back
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: on saturday another murder in the subways the seventh this
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: year this time 26 year old daryl rodriguez police still
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: looking for the suspect but kathy hokal the governor Remember
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: all of the news conferences she had down in the
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: subways and how she made this a big priority when
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: she first became governor, putting the National Guard there temporarily,
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: giving more money to the MTA for security. And since then,
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: it really hasn't been as safe as she thought it
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: was going to be. And so this was a black
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: eye for her, but she did come to town. She
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: had to come to town to campaign with Zoran Mamdani.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: And did she talk at all about the subways?
• 21:10
  Speaker 10: Nope.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Childcare.
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: I've been laser focused on making sure that our children
• 21:16
  Speaker 10: have every advantage possible to them.
• 21:18
  Speaker 12: And then we finally take a heavy burden off our parents.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: Now, Mamdani apparently is going to be doing all the attacking.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: He attacked and attacked and attacked and attacked yesterday. In
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: the meantime, Bruce Blakeman was brilliant. Bruce Blakeman was in
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: the subways. And he said, you see what happened here?
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: You see what continues to happen here? That's Kathy Hochul.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: I think that there are a lot of material things
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: we can do to make it safer here in New
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: York and make public transportation safer. Kathy Hochul doesn't care.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: She hasn't tried. She's pro-criminal. Now, this goes right into
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: Bruce Blakeman's wheelhouse because, as you know, Nassau County, U.S.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: News & World Report called it the safest county in America.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: And he has been excellent when it comes to crime.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, of all the issues you
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: don't want to mess with Bruce Blakeman on, It is
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: crime and security. So him being down in the subways
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: and Kathy Hochul ignoring it further compounds her path to
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: reelection because things have now gotten extremely close. But what
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: is fascinating to me, Curtis, and all of this, is
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: that she has taken this now strange campaign strategy to
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: not even say Blakeman's name. She's not attacking him at all.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: But Mamdani? Mamdani, that's all he'll talk about. Yep, that's
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: her surrogate. She's decided to play prevent defense. I am
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: very surprised that this murder of Darryl Rodriguez, 26 years old,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: living with his dad up in University Heights, the Bronx,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: a security guard at a nearby hotel, has resonated so much.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Because we've had other people pushed in front of tracks,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: others stabbed and killed. Didn't seem to resonate. For some reason,
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: this has hit the third rail, even from those that
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: our own Natalie Migliore went down and sampled their opinion
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: just yesterday. Might be the proximity, 53rd and 7th, that
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: we had discussed. You have a double-decker platform, the E,
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: the D, the B, uptown, the E, the D, the B, downtown.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: It is a huge station. Natalie mentioned she's come in
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: there to come to the theater. A lot of workers
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: through there, a lot of tourists. Just a heavily trafficked station.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: A lot of people here work at iHeart. And I
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: described it yesterday as always problematic. You know, junkies on
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: both ends of the platform shooting up. Others who've stolen
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: merchandise from up above come down there, separate it, and
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: then they go to a wholesaler.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: It's always problems.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: EDPs, homeless. But this murder has resonated. They don't have
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: a suspect yet. The perp is dressed all in red
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: with a little black and the mask. And what Bruce
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Blakeman brilliantly did is follow up on our conversation yesterday
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: when I said, you know, recently I was at the
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: University of Pennsylvania and I was staying in downtown Philly
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: with Nancy and I went into SEPTA where I've been
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: many times and talked to the SEPTA people. They don't
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: allow you to wear a mask unless you have a
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: medical condition. or a religious exemption. Bruce Blakeman, only county
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: in the state, you can't wear a mask. You must
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: have a medical religious exemption. Tish James, the Attorney General,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: hasn't challenged it. It can be done. And when he
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: had his press conference there, he did a brilliant thing.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: He took the Long Island Railroad from his home. Came
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: to Jamaica Station where you switch to the E train,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: took the E train down to 53rd and 7th. That
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: was good. Then said he would ramp up police presence,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: but then said, oh, yeah, and I would have a
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: face mask ban in New York City. There's no reason
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: you're wearing a face mask without a medical or religious
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: exemption unless you're up to no good like Jesse James
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: and the banditos, you know, when they came into town
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: and robbed the bank and they had the covering of
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: their face. So he really made it an issue. Props
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: to him.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: Well, you know that campaigns continually shift depending on what
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: happens on the ground. And so this is a huge
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: shift in Bruce Blakeman's direction. That's why he's grabbing onto
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: this right now. He knows I'm the law and order guy.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: She's not. I'm the law and order guy. If they
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: can make this about law and order, it only benefits him.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. And it's grabbed the headlines. They don't
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: have the perp yet. The other thing is, very strangely,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hochul is sitting on $ 19 million in cash. She
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: just got $ 4. 3 million from the Democratic Governors Group with
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: two weeks left. What's she doing with the money? But
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: why is she getting it so late unless they think
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: that she's in some trouble? Could well be. Obviously, the
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: problem Bruce has is with the female vote. But let's
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: face it, the people who are most terrified of the
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: subway are female workers during the day, females going out
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: at night, after night. Out of all the people, when
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: they're sampled about the fear of the subway, it's women
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: first and foremost. So I got to give props to
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blake when he talked about increasing the number of
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: train conductors, improving lighting. He acted like he knew about
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: the subways. Now, you and I know Bruce doesn't take
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: the subways. He's a Long Island Railroad guy, the biggest
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: suburban railroad line in the country. But he acted like
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: he knew his business yesterday. So I'm just saying he's
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: got momentum. He's seizing the issues that Kathy Hochul is
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: running away from, and he's labeling her Kathy Crime Wave Hochul.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: Well, yes, and that's going to work because he is
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: exactly the opposite. When you hear Bruce Blakeman, if you
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: watch politics locally and you hear Bruce Blakeman, the first
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: thing you think of is law and order. The first
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: thing you think of is he fights crime. And if
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: events on the ground start shifting— that there is more
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: and more crime that only helps him.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Well, as a cognoscente of doing press conferences in the
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: subway when I ran for mayor, it was A +.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: I gave him an A +.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: But yesterday, where was I?
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: On the number one train going to Columbia University with
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Nancy to speak at the School of Journalism. Let me
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: give you a little hint, Larry. When I told the
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: young people that don't be glazing me, well, no laughs.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: There's no applause. I knew these were journalists. And, oh, boy,
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: they were asking the tough questions, which was good.
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Which was very good. Plus, Jimmy Fallon coming up at 835. Well,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: big day yesterday, Larry and Natalie. I and Nancy took
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: the number one train up to Columbia University. To lecture
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: at the School of Journalism, I had been invited by
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: the teacher, Asmat Khan, and it was really great. Before
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: we even got on the campus, because the campus, remember,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: is still in lockdown. You can't just walk through like
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: you were able to do for years. before the most
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: recent demonstrations in 2024, by the way, led by Muhammad Khalil,
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: who has now appealed to the United States Supreme Court,
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: buddy of Zorhan Mandami, who does not want to be
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: deported back to Syria. You can't just walk through, and
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: the city administration is taking on Columbia University and saying,
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: you got to open it up. I mean, Larry, every
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: other school I've been to, I've spoken a lot, you
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: can walk through, they have their own security, armed security,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: you know, but Columbia is still in lockdown, but when
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: you walk onto the campus, oh, my God, amazing. You know,
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: the Low Library, Hamilton Hall, which all the students are
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: always taking over whenever they're having demonstrations. Just beautiful. The Quad.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Remember where all the tents were and the Palestinian flags
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: and all the Mishigash was taking place. I was like
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: in flashback mode. So I walk into the School of Journalism.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Very prestigious. I walk into this huge class. And right away,
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: you know, I use my line to all the Gen Zs. Hey,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: don't be glazed in me.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: No laughs.
• 29:20
  Speaker 8: Oh, no.
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: It's a hard start.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: No laughs. Because they are aspiring to be journalists, and
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: they're really practicing their trade. And I realized, wow, these
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: young people are taking their responsibilities seriously. And then we
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: started with a Q & A. I couldn't even give
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: one of my traditional speeches. you know, where I sort
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: of get them to laugh a little bit, teach them
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: a little bit about my background and such. It was
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: like right into the Q & A. And you would
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: be very proud as a journalist, Larry, who has won
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: many prestigious awards. These young people were up to the task.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: They did their research. They went back in time and
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: they were dealing with issues that they themselves acknowledge, even
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: though I would think without them saying it, most of
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: them probably supported Zoran Mondami. But even they were bringing
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: up issues that he was a dollar short and a
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: day late on. So I was extraordinarily impressed after I
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: left because we spent a lot of time with the
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: undergrads and graduates on the quad and then outside on
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: the street. Nancy debriefed me and, you know, she's gone
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: to college. She went to Brooklyn Law and she said, Man,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: these young people were really good, and you handled this question,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: but I don't think you quite heard because, you know,
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: I have problems with hearing. So you tried to spin off,
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: and they wouldn't let you spin off. They brought you
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: right back to the epicenter respectfully.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: I was just going to ask that. Did they cut
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: you off ever, or did they ask a follow-up that
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: was difficult, or did you feel like any of them
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: were going after you with questions because they wanted a
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: certain answer?
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: No, no, I think they had done their proper research.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: And although they could tell at times, I didn't fully
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: hear the question because my hearing difficulty, like I had
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: in the debate sometimes, didn't matter. They circled back, you know,
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: respectfully said, no, my question, Mr. Sliwa was, and then
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: they circled back. And I said, wow. And then one
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: of the photojournalists.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: Did they know it was your hearing or did they
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: think you were evading the question?
• 31:23
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: No, I think they know because, you know, I put
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: my hand up to my ear. So you can tell,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't have hearing aids. Another reason I
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: got to get hearing aids. But there was a photojournalist,
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: a young man who's obviously going into his graduate work,
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: who was there in 2020 when I got my jaw
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: broken with that claw hammer by Antifa. So he was
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: reminding me of what it was like as an aspiring
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: photojournalist looking at that scene of chaos when there were
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: no police around. And it was me and the Guardian
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Angels versus Antifa and Black Lives Matter. And it was brutal. Oh,
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: my God, it was brutal. So I had a great time.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: And then we were talking outside about El Saeed. The
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: candidate we're going to talk later on in the 8
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: o'clock hour about the midterms is 14 days to go.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: And it's neck and neck, him and Rodgers in Michigan.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: You know, El Saeed went to Columbia. So you have
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: all these key people. Mahmoud Khalil went to Columbia. And
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: the guy who didn't get into Columbia, his father, the
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: head of African studies, is Zohra Mandami. Remember, he wasn't accepted.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: He had to go to Boudwin, that private school up
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: in Maine. But everything was in the news about Columbia.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: So was Zohra. Great to be in there during the
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: epicenter of activity. What is it with the names you
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: just mentioned?
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: What is it with all the Muslim politicians wanting to
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: go to Columbia when they were just starting out? It
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: seemed like that was the go-to school. Remember who went
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: to Columbia first before he went to Harvard? And nobody
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: really knew him at Columbia. I even asked around Barack Obama.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: He was there for like two years and transferred to Harvard.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: And that's really where he came into his own. For
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: two years when he was in Columbia, he even wrote
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: in his memoirs. I was out of sight, out of mind.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: I was in a room nearby. You know, I was
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: smoking Maui Waui and Hindu Kush. He acknowledges that. And
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: then when he got to Harvard, he really found his own.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: But the number of people from around the world who
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: were going there, who were sitting and talking with me
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: was amazing. And that's one of the good things about
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: the United States is They can come from oppressed countries
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: and see a whole different world.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: While getting an education here. And I was proud, even
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: though they normally would not have allowed me to sweep
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: floors in Columbia University years ago. Imagine. I'm lecturing at
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: the School of Journalism, Larry. And you don't feel like
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: they ever got you with any of their questions?
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, they did. They did? Absolutely.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: They scored points on me. And I gave them props
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: when they did. You know, I didn't try to do
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: a complete spin because they were respectful about it. And
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: I could see they came prepared. They were very prepared,
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: which sometimes, as you know, in your field of journalism,
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: They throw a question out there and they don't have
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: a follow-up question. It's not like they're not being permitted.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: They just haven't done due diligence.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: I will just tell you quickly that forgive some of
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: the reporters that do that because I've been in that situation.
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: There's many times you just get in the newsroom and
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: they say, we need you to get right to this place.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: So a lot of times people don't have the chance
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: to prepare.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, it could have been a dean at
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: the Columbia School of Journalism, our own John Decker, who's
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: coming up next. Boy, he could teach a course about
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: what it is to survive as a White House correspondent
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: and yet get lead time with the president of the
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: United States as he did right after the 7 o'clock news.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: Well, just back from Alaska, let's go to John Decker,
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: WOR White House and Washington correspondent and host of the podcast,
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: The White House Briefing Room with John Decker, which can
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: be found on the iHeartRadio app. John, I want to
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: talk to you about Katie Zachariah because I feel bad
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: for the woman because you hear all these other press
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: secretaries talk about how long they had to prepare and
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: how difficult it is to prepare for your first time
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: out there. And she flew in and was sent out there,
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: and she obviously wasn't prepared.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Well, she wasn't.
• 35:21
  Speaker 14: And, you know, to some people, it's easier than others.
• 35:24
  Speaker 14: I think Caroline Leavitt made it look easy, but she
• 35:27
  Speaker 14: had spent a full year out on the campaign trail
• 35:30
  Speaker 14: taking questions from reporters. So that gave her great practice
• 35:33
  Speaker 14: for when she assumed the role as White House press secretary.
• 35:37
  Speaker 14: And similarly, you know, you go back to Jen Psaki.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: She was the.
• 35:41
  Speaker 14: Spokesperson for the State Department today. before serving as the
• 35:44
  Speaker 14: White House press secretary. So she had also ample experience.
• 35:49
  Speaker 14: So it was difficult for her. You know, I traveled
• 35:51
  Speaker 14: with Katie when she still had the job two days
• 35:54
  Speaker 14: last week when the president did that trip out to Alaska,
• 35:57
  Speaker 14: stopped in Arizona and Montana. So I chatted with her
• 36:00
  Speaker 14: quite a bit on that trip. And, you know, I
• 36:03
  Speaker 14: could just tell she really wasn't prepared to take on
• 36:06
  Speaker 14: all that that job entails.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: Well, some of the people, including Jean-Pierre and also including
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: Jen Psaki, said that before they went out there, they got.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Briefed for four hours. Zachariah said that didn't happen with her.
• 36:22
  Speaker 14: Yeah, well, that's right. You know, this was an unusual hire.
• 36:25
  Speaker 14: I don't think it went through the proper vetting process.
• 36:28
  Speaker 14: That's pretty clear. The president, you know, apparently just, you know,
• 36:31
  Speaker 14: liked what he saw when she did cable news appearances
• 36:34
  Speaker 14: on Fox News, on Newsmax even appearing on CNN from
• 36:38
  Speaker 14: time to time. But I have to tell you, doing
• 36:41
  Speaker 14: a five-minute hit on a cable network is not the
• 36:44
  Speaker 14: same as taking 30 minutes worth of questions on every
• 36:48
  Speaker 14: subject imaginable. Trade policy, economic policy, foreign policy, domestic policy, politics.
• 36:54
  Speaker 14: It's not the same.
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: It's not easy.
• 36:57
  Speaker 14: And that is something that I think anyone should be
• 36:59
  Speaker 14: aware of if they're being considered for that job.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: You know, You know the phrase, when the cat's away,
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: the mice will play. You've heard that, haven't you?
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: Of course I have, Curtis. Yes, of course.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: What the hell's going on in the White House? Susie Wiles,
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: the chief of staff, who I thought was a stabilizing influence,
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: they say now family members of hers are being investigated
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: for illegal transactions overseas. Alina Haba is complaining to the
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: president that Rick Grinnell ripped my husband off for $ 6
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: million of a donation. There's a lot of drama going
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: on in that White House. Can you sort of connect
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: the dots with us? Because if the president's away and
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: the vice president's away, who's running the show there?
• 37:45
  Speaker 14: Well, it's a really good question, Curtis. And these stories
• 37:48
  Speaker 14: that you're mentioning, they're all coming out. Look at the calendar.
• 37:51
  Speaker 14: They're coming out less than two weeks to go before
• 37:54
  Speaker 14: Election Day.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: And what that is.
• 37:57
  Speaker 14: Is a distraction. Katie Zachariah, a distraction. The stories that
• 38:01
  Speaker 14: you mentioned involving various members or former members of the
• 38:05
  Speaker 14: administration a distraction. The president should just be solely focused
• 38:10
  Speaker 14: on trying to keep the House and the Senate under
• 38:13
  Speaker 14: Republican control. And yet, he's dealing with these extraneous issues
• 38:19
  Speaker 14: at the same time. Some of the administration's own doing,
• 38:22
  Speaker 14: you know, the press secretary choice, that's the administration's own doing.
• 38:26
  Speaker 14: But others, you know, I think that you have to
• 38:28
  Speaker 14: question why these stories are coming out right now, less
• 38:32
  Speaker 14: than two weeks to go until November the 3rd.
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: Well, you know why those stories are coming out right now,
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: two weeks to go before November 3rd. This happens almost
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: every single election. I know that you might say to yourself, well,
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: these are self-inflicted, but I'm sure that there's some digging
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: for dirt that is going to happen now until it's
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: all finished. You got an experience that most of us
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: don't get. As a matter of fact, 90% of us
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: don't get. you got to sit down with the president
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: of the United States in Alaska. And I know it
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: was about Alaskan issues, but can you tell us about
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: the entire experience, what he was like with you, how
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: the interview you felt went and how it ended?
• 39:13
  Speaker 14: Well, I think it went very well.
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: It was a good interview.
• 39:16
  Speaker 14: You know, the president, his team knew that I was
• 39:18
  Speaker 14: just solely focused on a race that could determine control
• 39:21
  Speaker 14: of the U.S. Senate, the Alaska Senate race. I was
• 39:23
  Speaker 14: out in Alaska just a few weeks ago covering that race. And,
• 39:28
  Speaker 14: you know, for me, it made sense to do an
• 39:31
  Speaker 14: interview with the president in Alaska while he was there
• 39:35
  Speaker 14: just ahead of doing that campaign rally. So I made
• 39:38
  Speaker 14: that pitch to the White House and they thought it
• 39:41
  Speaker 14: was a good idea as well. So they gave me
• 39:43
  Speaker 14: some time with the president before he hit the campaign
• 39:46
  Speaker 14: stage for that campaign rally. in Wasilla, Alaska, and the
• 39:51
  Speaker 14: president felt it went well. I've spoken to a lot
• 39:53
  Speaker 14: of their team, and I hope to do more of
• 39:55
  Speaker 14: those interviews in which Larry and Curtis, I don't have
• 39:58
  Speaker 14: to travel seven hours to do an interview with the president.
• 40:01
  Speaker 14: I'll do it at the White House.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: John Decker, you're our expert on the reflection pool. Put
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: that aside. What is this story about a public golf course,
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Trump knocking down trees, a federal judge intervening? I would
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: think the president has enough to deal with of a
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: serious nature that he isn't sort of causing chaos over
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: a public golf course in D.C. What can you tell
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: us about that?
• 40:26
  Speaker 14: Well, it's about the East Potomac Golf Links. It's a
• 40:30
  Speaker 14: public course, and the president has this idea of turning
• 40:33
  Speaker 14: it into a championship caliber course. Well, there's a lawsuit
• 40:38
  Speaker 14: to prevent the president from doing just that. That lawsuit
• 40:42
  Speaker 14: is now tied up in litigation. The federal judge that
• 40:45
  Speaker 14: has been assigned this case has been angered by the
• 40:48
  Speaker 14: fact that the administration, according to her, has essentially rebuffed
• 40:54
  Speaker 14: and violated her direct orders in terms of not taking
• 40:57
  Speaker 14: any measures that would be in the process of refurbishing that,
• 41:02
  Speaker 14: of course, until this litigation is complete. And so that's
• 41:06
  Speaker 14: where we are right now. Just a few weekends ago,
• 41:09
  Speaker 14: about 130 trees were removed as part of this renovation
• 41:15
  Speaker 14: of this course, despite a judge's order prohibiting the administration
• 41:19
  Speaker 14: from doing that. So that's why it's in the news.
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: There was a.
• 41:22
  Speaker 14: Seven-hour hearing yesterday before that judge, and this litigation continues.
• 41:27
  Speaker 14: It's still not resolved. And you're right. I mean, again,
• 41:30
  Speaker 14: The president should be focused on the midterms, making certain
• 41:34
  Speaker 14: that Republicans retain control of the House and the Senate.
• 41:37
  Speaker 14: And yet he's putting out many social media posts regarding
• 41:41
  Speaker 14: this particular issue, as opposed to talking about, you know,
• 41:44
  Speaker 14: the race in Michigan, which they could possibly flip that
• 41:47
  Speaker 14: seat or, you know, these other races where they're essentially
• 41:51
  Speaker 14: a coin toss in terms of who's going to win
• 41:54
  Speaker 14: those races.
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: So let's talk for a second about Ukraine and the
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: president's relationship with Vladimir Zelensky, because it doesn't seem good
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: at this time. Zelensky is complaining about Starlink, the administration
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: saying they have no idea what he's talking about. Zelensky
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: also upset with the diesel deal with Russia. And now yesterday,
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: it seemed like Trump got upset with him and said, well,
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: Zelensky just doesn't know what he's talking about. What is happening?
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: What is going on? What's the truth and what isn't
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: the truth? Do you know?
• 42:28
  Speaker 14: Well, about a week and a half ago, the president
• 42:31
  Speaker 14: had a phone conversation with President Putin on his birthday
• 42:34
  Speaker 14: of all days. And I think that, you know, their
• 42:36
  Speaker 14: conversation delved into issues which the president has been speaking
• 42:42
  Speaker 14: about right now. The president clearly right now appears to
• 42:45
  Speaker 14: have a better relationship with Vladimir Putin than he does
• 42:49
  Speaker 14: with Vladimir Zelenskyy. and it's impacting his public policy concerning
• 42:55
  Speaker 14: the war in Ukraine. The president has floated this idea
• 42:58
  Speaker 14: potentially of meeting with President Xi and President Putin on
• 43:04
  Speaker 14: the sidelines of the APEC summit next month in China
• 43:08
  Speaker 14: to discuss the war in Ukraine, to find a solution.
• 43:11
  Speaker 14: But interestingly enough, Curtis and Larry, President Zelensky would not
• 43:15
  Speaker 14: be invited to that meeting. You know, that's how are
• 43:17
  Speaker 14: you going to get peace unless you have that major
• 43:19
  Speaker 14: player at the negotiating table. Europe is not invited to
• 43:22
  Speaker 14: that meeting, the EU or NATO. So hard to see
• 43:26
  Speaker 14: how you can bring about an end to that war, which,
• 43:28
  Speaker 14: by the way, in February, five years, that's how long
• 43:31
  Speaker 14: that war will be going on. And as things stand
• 43:34
  Speaker 14: right now, you're right. Things are not in a good
• 43:36
  Speaker 14: place in terms of the relationship between President Trump and
• 43:40
  Speaker 14: President Zelensky.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: Also, John Decker, the president, South Carolina, Kansas, these are
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: two states you wouldn't normally see him going to, you know,
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: seven states in seven days. But I noticed that Lindsey
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: Graham's sister that he elevated into the position, and then
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: she was the winner of the Republican primary, distanced herself
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: from the president's decision not to impose what they called
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: the Lindsey Graham sanctions on Russia. It has to be
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: a bit uncomfortable. Here she is. She's saying basically you're wrong, Mr. President.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: And yet he's stumping in South Carolina.
• 44:20
  Speaker 14: Well, yeah. And she's not the only person. You know,
• 44:23
  Speaker 14: I could go through a list of very high profile
• 44:25
  Speaker 14: Republicans who are in competitive races that have publicly distanced
• 44:28
  Speaker 14: themselves from the president's approach to Russia and his approach
• 44:33
  Speaker 14: to Vladimir Putin. Dan Sullivan from Alaska running for the Senate.
• 44:36
  Speaker 14: He's distanced himself. Mike Rogers in Michigan running for the Senate,
• 44:41
  Speaker 14: he's distanced himself. And the Republican nominee for the Senate
• 44:48
  Speaker 14: in Iowa as well, Hinson, has distanced herself from the president.
• 44:53
  Speaker 14: So this is an issue that's dividing the party. Typically,
• 44:57
  Speaker 14: you wanted a united party going into the midterms. But
• 45:00
  Speaker 14: this issue of Russia has risen to the top because
• 45:03
  Speaker 14: of the president's positions on Russia, his relationship with President Putin.
• 45:08
  Speaker 14: And I think that if it's a big if, I
• 45:10
  Speaker 14: don't know what's going to happen. I don't have a
• 45:12
  Speaker 14: crystal ball. But if the Republicans lose control of the
• 45:14
  Speaker 14: House and the Senate, this issue is going to rise
• 45:17
  Speaker 14: to the top and you're going to see a lot
• 45:18
  Speaker 14: of Republicans coming out publicly and maybe even taking hold
• 45:23
  Speaker 14: of legislation, which essentially puts the president's foreign policy concerning
• 45:29
  Speaker 14: Russia in check. Could this lead to impeachment of the president,
• 45:32
  Speaker 14: his approach to Russia potentially? I think these are all
• 45:36
  Speaker 14: unknown questions. that we'll have to see what happens after
• 45:39
  Speaker 14: the midterms.
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: I'll add Susan Collins to your list. I hear every
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: election that Susan Collins is going to lose every six
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: years and every year, every six years she wins, but
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: she distanced herself from the president very early in the process.
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: So yeah, you're right. It's happening across the country. John Decker,
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: WOR White House and Washington correspondent. host of the podcast
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: The White House Briefing Room with John Decker. You can
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: find that on the iHeartRadio app, and it is worth
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: a listen. John, thanks so much.
• 46:09
  Speaker 15: Thanks, Larry.
• 46:09
  Speaker 14: Thanks, Curtis.
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: Have a great day.
• 46:11
  Speaker 9: Bye-bye.
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: So, a spacecraft was shot off earlier today, and the
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: reason you didn't hear a lot about it is because
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: it wasn't one of ours. Remember, our last mission was
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: to go to the moon. And we're going to be
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: sending some astronauts to walk on the moon very soon.
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: But we went around the moon. We went further in
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: space than any other astronauts. And Japan was watching. And
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: Japan said, you know what? We can do you one better.
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: So earlier today, they shot off a spacecraft to go
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: not to Mars, but to one of the moons of Mars.
• 46:52
  Speaker 14: My engine stopped.
• 46:52
  Speaker 8: My engine stopped.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: Get up.
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: If you notice when you're listening to this, when you
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: hear an American spacecraft go off, there's very little talking.
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: These guys don't shut up. They're still going.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Exactly. By the way, is this sponsored by the Japanese
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: version of Nutella? Will we see a Nutella jar flying? Now,
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: let me ask you a question here. Does this mean
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: that SpaceX has basically bought all the rights to Mars?
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: Because this is really what Elon Musk wants, to be
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: able to land a rocket and eventually astronauts on Mars
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: so they can be a space colony. That's his ultimate desire.
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's the Japanese and the international desire.
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: By the way, they all work together on these things.
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: All the countries work together on these things. So he
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: is involved in this as well as the United States
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: and everybody else. What they're doing is they have three
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: reasons for going to a moon on Mars. By the way,
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: there are two moons on Mars, Phobos and Deimos. And
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: I might have said that wrong. It might be Deimos.
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: But they're going to Phobos. And on Phobos, what they're
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: going to do is they're going to drill down because
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: they want scientists to be able to study what they
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: find and that they may be able to understand the
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: beginning of the solar system a little bit better. But obviously,
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: they're going to look for minerals when they're down there,
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: precious metals and minerals, just like we're going to be
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: doing with the moon as well. But most importantly, to
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: your point about an international space station and a space
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: station on Mars, they want to see... if this could
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: be a staging area, a natural space staging area, so
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: that for a future exploration, they could stop there, they
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: could refuel there, they could take a break there. It's
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: a way to be able to land something and to
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: see if the surface is good enough to be able
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: to land on. So it's interesting.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: As I've said before, 1969, man lands on the moon
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: as part of Woodstock and The Miracle Match. It's part
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: of Woodstock? All part. All part.
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: All wrapped together.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that. They had telescopes at Woodstock. We
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: landed a number of times. on our moon, and yet
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: we're still not landing on our moon. We're flying around
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: the moon. The Japanese are flying a spaceship to the moon,
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: one of the two, as you mentioned, around Mars. When
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: are we ever going to land on our freaking moon again?
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: Why is this so difficult?
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: Next year. That's what it's planned for.
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: Why is it so difficult? Why is landing on the
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: moon so difficult? Is that your question? We did it
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: in the 60s and 70s. Yeah, it's like it takes
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: 50 odd years to do it again.
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: Why don't you do it?
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: It's hilarious.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: 50 years with new technology?
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: Yes, but the only reason we're going back is because
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: we want to mine the moon. Now there's money to
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: be made.
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: So let's get up there.
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: That's why we're going back. What are we waiting for?
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: They weren't going to spend the money just to sightsee again.
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: They had to wait. And listen, here's three people that
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: know nothing about science questioning, well, why don't they just
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: do it? Well, you just said the.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: Japanese are going to land on the moon that's circling Mars.
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: The Red Chinese are going to land on our moon
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: before we do.
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: We sent lunar equipment.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: Stop.
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: Just stop. They'll do it. I trust that they're doing
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: it when they can do it. Let's get to some talkbacks.
• 50:35
  Speaker 16: You know, I work in the city every day for
• 50:38
  Speaker 16: HVAC at different locations. And over the last month, I've
• 50:42
  Speaker 16: seen a lot more crazy people than usual. You had
• 50:45
  Speaker 16: that stabbing in Times Square. I see, like, people who
• 50:49
  Speaker 16: are out here vocal. You know, like, they used to
• 50:51
  Speaker 16: leave you alone, but now they get in your face.
• 50:53
  Speaker 16: One guy was doing finger guns at somebody, and then
• 50:56
  Speaker 16: he threw an empty soda can right at this 18-year-old
• 50:59
  Speaker 16: tourist's face, and she was so scared.
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: What's he going to do next?
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: Absolutely correct. I see it all the time, an increase
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: in the number of EDPs. They call them emotionally disturbed persons.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: Homeless people who start acting out. It'd be interesting to
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: look at the 911 call log. How many EDP calls?
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: I would say they've noticeably increased just from my own
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: knowledge of being in the subways and streets every day.
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: Now let's get to Daria Albinger with the 730 News, Daria. Morning, guys.
• 51:29
  Speaker 10: Mostly sunny today. We'll see a high of 70 degrees.
• 51:32
  Speaker 10: The wait is over for the Knicks fans with tonight's
• 51:34
  Speaker 10: season opener against Philadelphia and LeBron James, who, by the way,
• 51:38
  Speaker 10: lives here in the city. Before tip-off, New York will
• 51:40
  Speaker 10: get their championship rings and raise the banner at the Garden.
• 51:44
  Speaker 10: Former Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil is appealing his deportation
• 51:49
  Speaker 10: case to the Supreme Court.
• 51:50
  Speaker 17: Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist, was detained last year by immigration
• 51:54
  Speaker 17: authorities after being accused of lying on documents when he
• 51:57
  Speaker 17: was applying for permanent residency. He has been ordered to
• 52:00
  Speaker 17: be deported. Khalil denies the allegations. He's accused the Trump
• 52:04
  Speaker 17: administration of targeting him as a way to crack down
• 52:06
  Speaker 17: on pro-Palestinian demonstrations. In his appeal to the Supreme Court,
• 52:10
  Speaker 17: Khalil says the fight is not just for him to
• 52:12
  Speaker 17: stay in the country, but for anyone who can speak
• 52:14
  Speaker 17: out for Palestinians without being punished for it. I'm Scott Pringle,
• 52:17
  Speaker 17: WOR News.
• 52:18
  Speaker 10: There are two weeks left to the midterms, and President
• 52:20
  Speaker 10: Trump is heading to North Carolina today to campaign for
• 52:23
  Speaker 10: Republican Senate candidate Michael Watley. Last night, he was in
• 52:26
  Speaker 10: a state which has been historically deep red, but could
• 52:29
  Speaker 10: be trending purple.
• 52:30
  Speaker 7: Overnight, with just two weeks to go until the election,
• 52:33
  Speaker 7: President Trump on the campaign trail in deep red Kansas,
• 52:36
  Speaker 7: as polls show a number of tight races in states
• 52:39
  Speaker 7: he won.
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: I love you, Kansas, but I'm here for a guy
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: named Roger Marshall.
• 52:46
  Speaker 7: The president stumping for incumbent GOP Senator Roger Marshall. Democrats
• 52:50
  Speaker 7: have not won a Senate seat in Kansas in nearly
• 52:52
  Speaker 7: a century. But Marshall now locked in a close race
• 52:56
  Speaker 7: against Democrat Adam Hamilton.
• 52:57
  Speaker 10: ABC's Rachel Scott. Well, Wall Street is doing what a
• 53:00
  Speaker 10: lot of us on this shift wish we could do
• 53:02
  Speaker 10: some days, and that is ignore the clock. But instead
• 53:04
  Speaker 10: of sleeping in, they're getting up earlier. Pre-trading began this
• 53:07
  Speaker 10: week on the New York Stock Exchange at 7.30 to

  Speaker 10: 9.15 ahead of the opening bell. And post-market trading is
• 53:13
  Speaker 10: going past the close from 4 to 4.15. And starting

• 53:22
  Speaker 10: Rangers beat Anaheim. Next news, 8 o'clock, bulletins at once.
• 53:25
  Speaker 10: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, up next, he's coming out for Ilhan Omar, the
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: smooth one. Barack Obama. And Tom Holman, with a wink
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: in his eye, is saying, hey, there's a lot more
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: about Ilhan Omar we're going to be revealing to you.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: We'll discuss that up next. And you don't want to
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: miss it. Jimmy Failure joining us at 835.
• 53:49
  Speaker 4: As you know by now, eight days ago, Ilhan Omar,
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: congresswoman from Minnesota, her home was raided by the FBI.
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: And they took her personal cell phone. They took her passport.
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: They took all the computers in the house. They took
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: paperwork and various documents from the house. She is and
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: she has been notified that she is under active investigation.
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: The question is, what for? Now, what's made it into
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: the media and is talked about all the time is
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: that the probe now focuses on paperwork completed when the
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: Omar family came to this country in 1995. Her father
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: knew Omar Mohammed. apparently said that she was a minor
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: at that time, but her birth certificate says something different.
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: So with that, she would be in the country illegally.
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: Now that's all that makes it into the news. And
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: that's what, by the way, she's fundraising over right now.
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: And she's taken in a lot of money saying that, look,
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump's coming after me for something that happened back
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: in 1995. But it sounds like there's a lot more.
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: Tom Holman was on several specials places like CNN, he
• 55:04
  Speaker 4: was on, and ABC, he was on, and Fox News,
• 55:06
  Speaker 4: but I thought Fox was the best with him in
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: talking about the investigation.
• 55:12
  Speaker 15: The allegations were made clear, and they would be investigated,
• 55:14
  Speaker 15: and they are investigating it. I'm not going to get
• 55:17
  Speaker 15: ahead of, you know, the Bureau or HSI, but, you know,
• 55:22
  Speaker 15: I've been told they have a strong case, and we'll
• 55:25
  Speaker 15: let the evidence lead where it leads, but she'll be
• 55:27
  Speaker 15: held to the same standard you and I are held.
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: If she violated law, They should be held accountable. Now,
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: the reason I thought Fox did so well as compared
• 55:34
  Speaker 4: to ABC and CNN is that Fox went after him.
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: Fox kept pressing him. Is that really all? Is that
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: all it is? They must have asked him three times.
• 55:46
  Speaker 18: Tom, is this simply an immigration fraud investigation or do
• 55:50
  Speaker 18: you have or does the federal government have reason to
• 55:53
  Speaker 18: investigate any other type of wrongdoing?
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to go there. Not even a little bit?
• 55:59
  Speaker 15: Not even a little bit. That's a question for the FBI.
• 56:02
  Speaker 15: I know things, but that's a question for the FBI.
• 56:04
  Speaker 18: Would it have anything to do with anything that happened
• 56:06
  Speaker 18: in Minnesota?
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: It's a question for the FBI. You had to see
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: Tom Homan's face during that. He was like the Cheshire Cat.
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: He was trying to hold back a smile the entire
• 56:17
  Speaker 4: time he was answering. And it seemed like he thought
• 56:20
  Speaker 4: the questioner knew something else. The other things that may
• 56:24
  Speaker 4: be investigated... Well, let's start with this, because she has
• 56:27
  Speaker 4: already been investigated by Congress, and James Comer, who was
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: leading the oversight investigation, talked about this.
• 56:35
  Speaker 19: Not only was there a huge discrepancy in the financial
• 56:38
  Speaker 19: disclosure form, there was the winery that was the big
• 56:42
  Speaker 19: base of her $ 25 million listing on her financial disclosure form.
• 56:48
  Speaker 19: That winery has, according to the press, been shut down
• 56:53
  Speaker 19: because of fraud. They were apparently selling investors barrels of
• 56:57
  Speaker 19: wine to be aged, but there was nothing in the barrels.
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: Now, this is important because what she listed on her
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: financial disclosure form that every congressperson has to do was
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: $ 25 to $ 30 million was their net worth because of
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: the winery. When she realized that she was under investigation
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: and when more and more people in the state were
• 57:15
  Speaker 4: arrested for Medicare and Medicaid fraud, she changed it. to
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: $ 16, 000 to $ 98, 000. That's quite a big difference. Oh, absolutely.
• 57:24
  Speaker 4: That's a huge clerical mistake. Absolutely.
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: Now, which husband was she blaming this on? The most
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: recent one, right? The political consultant, the white guy. So
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: she was hiding money there. If every allegation against her
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: is true, she was taking the money from Medicare and
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: Medicaid fraud and hiding it in her husband's winery, which
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: is why he was sending out barrels with no wines. Well,
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: that's why I think it is very important that it's
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: got to go beyond a paperwork discrepancy of a year,
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: 30 years later. That's just a plus for Ilhan Omar.
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: It makes her like a victim, you know, like a
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: Joan of Arc 30 years later. OK, you said that
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: I was 18. I say I was 17. You're going
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: to prosecute me. You're going to throw me out of
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: the country, send me back to Somalia over that. I
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: think most people wouldn't go for that. So that's why
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: they got to do the deep take. This gives them
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: the right to go in further. But she's got big
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: guns supporting her. Hey, look, Barack Obama. I never knew
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: him to be very supportive of Ilhan Omar. Well, the
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: smooth operators come out in defense of her. Other Democrats
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: are naturally the squad. She's a sister in solidarity. They've
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: come out in support of her. So let's see where
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: the investigation goes. But I think even people who are
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: close to Ilhan Omar in the Democratic Party would have
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: to say, out of all the people in the squad, man,
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: she's the one that you're always asking the most financial
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: questions about. Like, where did this money come from? Where
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: did this— Where did this Medicaid issue come from? Where
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: did this Medicare issue come from? It's always circling around
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: Ilhan Omar and the Somalian community in Minnesota, her district.
• 59:07
  Speaker 4: Well, the Medicare and Medicaid fraud, there's now been. three
• 59:10
  Speaker 4: dozen people from the Somali community that were sent to
• 59:13
  Speaker 4: jail for that. And she has been the ringleader of
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: everything in that community. So the idea that she's not
• 59:21
  Speaker 4: connected to it seems far-fetched. especially we get back to
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: the winery, especially because she felt like she had to
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: go ahead and say, I made 25 to $ 30 million. And,
• 59:35
  Speaker 4: and because she knew it was going to be investigated.
• 59:38
  Speaker 4: So she's going to say, no, that's the winery. The
• 59:40
  Speaker 4: winery was making that much money. And now we found
• 59:43
  Speaker 4: out that the winery was all just fake. So there's, there's,
• 59:47
  Speaker 4: there's there, there, there's a lot of smoke right now.
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: And when you look at that interview with Tom Holman,
• 59:54
  Speaker 4: The way he was trying to hold back a smile,
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: I think they got something. I think they have a lot.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 4: I think this is going to be a big story.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: It's not going to come out before the midterms. They
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 4: can't do this investigation that quickly. But I think after
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: the midterms, you're going to hear about charges, several charges,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 4: and it's going to have a lot more to do.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 4: than immigration fraud.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: Well, as you know, right now, she's playing the victim role.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: She's raising a lot of scoundrel. A lot of people
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: are throwing money at her saying, that's right. This is lawfare.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: They're coming after you, the Trump administration, Kash Patel, you know,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: Tom Holman and all the rest because they want to
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: put you up on the cross there. And she is
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: playing it like the tears, crying, and then naturally playing
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: the race card.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 4: You know, the investigation into her started under Biden.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 4: That's what nobody reports. It was Biden that started this.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 4: So if you're going to be upset about anybody, all
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 4: the groundwork was done by Biden. We just picked it up.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: Because she gave every reason for you to investigate.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: Yes. We're not talking about somebody who was like in
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: the shadows doing this. We're talking about somebody who was
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: openly and proudly, you know, she married her political consultant,
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: bragging about the winery, how profitable it was. Remember the
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: the husband himself, oh yeah, I'm really proud of my winery,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: you know. And then all of a sudden, realizing that
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: they had to dissolve it because there was no money.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: In fact, there was no wine. They couldn't turn water
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: into wine. They couldn't do it. Jesus Christ. That was
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: the amazing thing.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 4: About the congressional investigation because they went to the wineries
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 4: that got the wine to ask about the wine. They
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 4: just wanted to know if it was worth what they
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 4: were getting charged for it. And they said, There was
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 4: no wine.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: What's in those barrels?
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 9: Nothing.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 4: Where's the wine? I don't know. Maybe it dissipated. No,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 4: she's in some big trouble. I got a feeling that
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 4: she is going to be charged. But you're right. Right now,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 4: she is a victim because, you know, Trump's on the
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 4: other side and the Democratic Party, especially if Trump's on
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 4: the other side, you quickly become a hero. Everybody in
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 4: town is excited for the game of the year. Do
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: you know that they held off scheduling this game, the NBA,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 4: until they figured out where LeBron James was going to go?
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 4: And now you've got the two teams favored to win
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 4: the NBA championship. One did it last year, the New
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 4: York Knicks at Madison Square Garden versus the Philadelphia 76ers.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: And are fans excited? Well, Natalie Migliori, Finds out next. Now,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: it's 710 WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: Opening game, Knicks, Philly 76ers tonight at the Garden. You
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: see a lot of people rocking knit caps downstairs, Natalie Migliore?
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 12: Knit caps, jerseys, everything in between. Any way to show
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 12: that they are a Knicks fan, whether a dedicated Knicks
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 12: fan or or just somebody who's a fan by association
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 12: of being in New York.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: You run into those people a lot.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 4: Can I add something? When you say Knicks, you have
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 4: to say world champion New York Knicks.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: World champion New York Knicks.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 12: Now, those world champions, they're going to tip off against
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 12: the Philadelphia 76ers tonight at 7 p.m., but things will
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 12: get underway before that. Because the team's going to raise
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 12: the 2026 championship banner to the rafters of Madison Square Garden.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 12: And the players get their championship rings. So who is
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 12: ready for the return of this NBA season?
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 4: Yes, I'm a Knicks fan from New York. I can't wait.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: Remember the only years they had. Now I have to
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 4: wait for some new more years. That's it.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm definitely ready. I can't wait to see it.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 9: Oh my God. I think the Knicks will prevail again. Obviously.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 9: Let's go Knicks. Knicks are fine.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 4: Hopefully they do it again.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 20: I think they're going to be good this year, but
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 20: I know there was some question about Kyle Anthony's contract.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 20: So I don't know if that's going to do some
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 20: kind of damage.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 12: Do you say give him the money, though?
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: The guy's good. If you can't get it, get it.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 12: Now, contract negotiations between Cat and the team, as far
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 12: as we knew, stalled ahead of regular season. He was
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 12: eligible for a four-year $ 276 million extension, but the team
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 12: offering him, $ 200 million deal for the same amount of time.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 12: At the time of the dispute, Cat had said it
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 12: was news to him. But what's not news to him
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 12: or the rest of the team is that they'll be
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 12: facing off against the 76ers who now have LeBron James
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 12: in their corner.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 8: Okay?
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 12: How's that going to go?
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 9: I think the Knicks will lose.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: Why do you say that?
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 9: Because LeBron's just too tough to deal with. And it's
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 9: a whole new... team they haven't played for a long time,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 9: so I think it'll be tough. He'll be looking to
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 9: score 100 points.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: I think it's going to be a different atmosphere, a
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: different environment for him.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 13: LeBron has definitely overcome a lot of things, and I
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 13: think he's going to pull through.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 4: I think we can take him. I think he's getting
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 4: a little up there, LeBron, so I mean, it's time
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 4: for some new talent.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 12: Now, LeBron James has gone from West Coast to East Coast,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 12: and he's not expected to live in Philadelphia. Okay, he's
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 12: actually expected to live here in New York. So how's
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 12: he going to get between the two cities? He says
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 12: he's going to take a helicopter, dismissing it as just
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 12: another form of transportation.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 4: If I was LeBron, I would do the same thing.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 4: It sounds very LeBron. I think that, yeah, it sounds
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 4: like him. I think that sounds ridiculous, but I mean,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: what is that, like a 40-minute flight? What's the worst
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 4: that could happen?
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: Another Kobe situation?
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 8: Come on, man.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: When you reach that kind of peak like these guys,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: you know, anything goes.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 4: It ain't gonna be weekly. Trust me, he'll find a
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 4: nice big mansion.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: Right up there in Philly or whatever, once you settle in.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 4: Wouldn't you jump on a helicopter?
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 12: You literally opened it with what else could happen, another Kobe?
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know. Yeah, but yeah, that's the chances of life.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 12: The chances of life. So that guy would jump on a,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 12: I was going to say on a roller coaster, on
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 12: a helicopter.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: And the guy, the first guy was right.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 12: It's about a 40-minute helicopter ride, they say, between Philly
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 12: and New York. So that's what LeBron is going to, uh,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 12: do at this point. Now, the last guy who we
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 12: talked to said that's the chances of life. Larry, when
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 12: I first came in, asked, what are the chances of
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 12: the Knicks winning this game?
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 4: Who's favored?
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 12: And that's the Knicks. They're favored to win, but Curtis
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 12: thinks not.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: No, I'm a Knick fan. Been a Knick fan my
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: whole life. They're going to lose tonight. The Sixers, there's
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: too much background drama going on in the Knicks clubhouse
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: over contracts. Now, for a guy to be complaining, who
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: would have been making 50 mil a year, right? 200
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: a million. 50 mil a year. Oh, I ain't getting
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: paid enough. You know that ain't going away.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 12: But you don't think that he's proved to himself he's
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 12: worth the money? He won a championship ring with five
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 12: guys on the court.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: That's what I was asking people.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: He won the ring.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: Just suck it up and negotiate after this year. Hopefully
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: you don't get injured. And you can get what you want.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: Win another championship. Get another ring first.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 12: Now, one guy on the street said he thought that
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 12: they were going to lose because of all the hoopla
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 12: that's going to go on tonight. They're going to raise
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 12: the banner.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: They're going to get their rings. And he called it,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: he called it, I couldn't, he called it dopamina. Let
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: me ask you a question. Don't tell me that Spike
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: Lee's going to get a ring.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 4: Please.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: I hate seeing that guy. We'll find out. I hate
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: seeing that guy out on the court.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 4: There's so much hate.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: There's so much hate.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 4: It's weird, isn't it?
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 8: Oh, no.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: Knicks are going to lose.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 12: Do you just want to go against the grain? You
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 12: think they're going to win, Larry?
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 4: I have no idea who's going to win tonight. I
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 4: really don't. I think it's going to be a tremendous game,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 4: but the Knicks are favored by four and a half.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: You know me. Whatever that means. The owner, Jimmy Dolan,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: pay your property taxes 48 million.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 4: Thanks a lot. Natalie Miglioria will be back tomorrow morning
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 4: at 7.50.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: Let's check in on the midterms.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 4: It's getting close and there's a lot of drama after
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 4: the 8 o'clock news. Well, we're almost there. Just a
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 4: couple of weeks before the midterm elections that everybody's talking
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 4: about that's going to decide the future of this country,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 4: the future of Donald Trump. And it's going to be close.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 4: I think at this point, if you were really handicapping
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 4: it and being honest, it does look like the Democrats
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 4: are going to take the House of Representatives. And that
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 4: happens so much in a midterm election that the party
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 4: that's not in the White House wins the House. The
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 4: Senate at this point is still a toss-up with seven
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 4: states that you have to look at. And now every
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 4: one of them is within two to three points. Every
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 4: single one of them in the polls is within two
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 4: to three points. And if you agree with the notion,
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 4: and by the way, it's 14 of the last 16 elections.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 4: If you agree with the notions that the polls always
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 4: undercount Republicans, then the Republicans are going to keep the House.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 4: If that doesn't happen this year, it's going to be
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 4: really close and they may lose.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm talking about the Senate. They may lose
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: the Senate.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 4: So if I were to guess at this point, I
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 4: think the Democrats are going to take the House. The
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 4: Republicans are going to keep the Senate. Why is that important? Well,
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 4: let me just tell you, nothing's going to get done.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 4: Nothing's going to get done. However, every time they have
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 4: an investigation now with the Democrats in the House of
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 4: Representatives and they send impeachment papers and impeachment bill to
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 4: the Senate, they're going to ignore it. They're going to
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 4: ignore it like they did with Mayorkas, the Secretary of
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 4: Homeland Security. When they kept sending an impeachment for him,
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 4: the Democrats just kept ignoring it. And it's gotten fascinating.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 4: Curtis has been talking about the fact that we've only
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 4: had the one debate here in New York. And in
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 4: state after state after state, they've had multiple debates, six
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 4: in Maine. But I don't know if you saw, Curtis,
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 4: the debate in Alaska. with Paltola and Sullivan.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: Which Sullivan? Not the one that lost. The one that's
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: actually a senator. The guy who can't even find Alaska
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: on the map and somehow he's in the finals.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 4: No, that was a coy move by the Democrats putting
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 4: him on there to take votes away from the real
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 4: Dan Sullivan. But I don't know if you saw the debate,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 4: but it was the most fascinating thing in the world
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 4: because they kept asking question after question and And this
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 4: woman had cue cards in front of her. And they
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 4: were in order. So the question would be asked. She'd
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 4: answer it and she'd take her cue card or index
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 4: card and put it underneath. And the next question would
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 4: be asked. And finally, Sullivan said, wait a second. Did
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 4: somehow did we get questions to the debate? Because she's
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 4: just going through cue cards and reading off them. And
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 4: they didn't answer his question. They just said, no, of
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 4: course not. And then they moved on. You know, real
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 4: quickly they moved on. It was one of the strangest
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 4: things I have ever seen.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, we're used to debates where you're not
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: permitted to come out with any notes. You get a
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: blank piece of paper and a big pen to write
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: your notes down. But there are some states, like we
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: saw in Maine, one debate, you're able to bring out
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: the Encyclopedia Britannica, and they're actually turning pages. Other states
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: have different rules. The one thing I'd like to say is,
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: thank God that they have debates. Look, Texas, which is
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: one of the most looked after general elections taking place,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: Paxton versus Tallarico. There has not been a debate. The
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: people in Texas are entitled, if not one debate, two debates. Look,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: Paxton debated Cornyn when he was running in the Republican primary.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: He did relatively well. He had the support of MAGA.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: He had the support of Trump. But it's not like
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: Corrin whipped him, and only because Trump was endorsing him
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: did he win. He can handle himself. He's been too
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: racist before. I think there has to be a mandatory rule,
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: at least two debates. Let the people size him up.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: Create your own rules according to the states, whether they're
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: entitled to have, you know, notes in front of them,
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: no notes. But some of these states, it's like nothing.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 4: It's a desert.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: And then other states, like you said, Maine, six. So
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: by now, you've had enough time because Susan Collins has
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: been there forever. You know her. You see the guy
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: who was the speaker of the legislature who replaced Plattner.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 4: Troy Jackson.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: Who was erratic, to say the least. Did you see
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: the last debate?
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 4: Shut up. Here you go. Here it is.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 10: So this is obviously one of Troy's supporters.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: That was a big deal.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: That was a really big deal. I didn't understand.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 4: And maybe Natalie, you should get in on this because
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 4: I didn't understand how triggering that moment is to women.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 4: My wife immediately said he's done. He's done. You don't
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 4: say when a woman goes to talk, you don't say
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 4: shut up. It is so demeaning and it's so chauvinistic.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 4: Do you take that?
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 3: I take it for everyone, honestly. You know, you always
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 3: tell your kids not to say bad words. That was
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 3: always a bad word in our house. You do not
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 3: say shut up to people.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 9: You're right.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 4: It is so demeaning.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 3: And I can absolutely see how a male saying it
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 3: to a female, especially in that kind of situation, because
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 3: it's like dismissive, like okay, you just shut up.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 9: I'm moving on.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 3: But I think it's a terrible word in general.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 4: They're already playing it in ads right now. I'm saying
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 4: shut up over and over again. And she's been interviewed
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 4: everywhere saying that any woman that's in an, she called
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 4: it an abusive relationship. Any woman that's in an abusive
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 4: relationship with a man has been told to shut up
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 4: over and over and over again.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 3: I would bet that's true. I would, Absolutely bet that's
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: true because it's something that you just don't say to people.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: With millions and millions of dollars being spent coming from
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: out of state, in state, he substituted for Plattner, the
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: crazy one. I never thought that he would be as
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: close as he is to Susan Collins. In the polling,
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: it's like neck and neck, because he replaced Platner. You
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: would have thought, oh, God, Platner. I felt like I
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: had to take a hot shower. Well, he inserted himself.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: He did have a background in the legislature. He's a lumberjack.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: He's not into going after lobsters and oysters. He was
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: doing relatively well. But imagine when all is said and done,
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: if he loses. That may be the defining moment.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: And because they had six debates, we would have never
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: heard that if there hadn't been so many debates.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 4: Very good point. That's a tremendous point. Yes, you should
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 4: have debates to see how they handle pressure because we
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 4: never would have seen that. We would have only seen
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 4: his manufactured ads that's trying to put him in the
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 4: best light. This way, you see him as he actually is.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 4: And listen, I don't think Maine's going to like who
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 4: he actually is. So I haven't seen any recent polls.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 4: I'm sure there's going to be one out a week
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 4: before the midterms, but we'll see how this affects him
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 4: because I think he's going to drop precipitously. I think
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 4: Susan Collins in that last debate. because of his idiocy,
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 4: just won that seat.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: And the best debate by far to date is the
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: one that took place in Michigan between El-Said and Rodgers,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: where they kept going at one another, even during the
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: commercial break. The moderators, some of whom have been in
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: the Michigan media circuit for 30 years, said they never
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: remember than when there were breaks, you know, to go
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: to advertising, that the candidates continue to argue with one another.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: It's almost like they were oblivious, like two fighters who
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: didn't hear the crying to end the round. They just
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: kept slinging, throwing punches, verbal innuendos. And I think there's
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: one more debate on the 29th in Detroit. You know
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: that's going to be a rock-em-sock-em affair because Rogers is
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: just saying, you're Muslim Brotherhood. You're running from that connection,
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: you and your family. And naturally, you know what El-Sayed
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: is saying, you're mini-Trump. You know, you're mini-Trump.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 4: Except that he's handled that so badly, El-Sayed, because he
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 4: was denying it, then he was avoiding it, and he
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 4: was going after people that were asking him that, and
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 4: now he has to admit to it. And so that's
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 4: the worst thing that can happen to you this late.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, if it is two to four points,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 4: like it normally is, that Republicans are undercounted, the Republicans
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 4: will win Alaska.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: The Republicans won Ohio. They're going to win Maine. They
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: will win.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 4: Texas and they will win Michigan and Iowa. Now, they're
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 4: still going to lose Georgia and they're still going to
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 4: lose North Carolina, but they keep the Senate not just
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 4: by a couple seats. They'll have 53. All right.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: With two weeks to go, let's go through those states again.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: So I'll give you my picks. You said Ohio. No,
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: you lost that. Republicans lost that.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry. Oh, really? Okay, we'll see. We'll see. It's
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 4: going to be shocking if they lose that seat, but
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 4: we'll see.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: I could see Rodgers winning simply because we saw in
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: the Democratic primary with the Congresswoman that what El-Said and
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: his supporters saw was a slam dunk the weekend before
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: the actual vote. They were partying, you know, they were
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: already tasting victory. And he only won by one point,
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: even though he was 10 points ahead.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 14: Alaska.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 4: Alaska, no.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: I think the Democrat wins. The Democrat wins in Alaska?
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 4: You're crazy. That's your bias taken over. You're crazy.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: No, no, because she is very independent and she's an
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: Inuit person.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 4: In a statewide debate, she read every answer from index cards.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 4: I mean, forget the fact that she might have got
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 4: the questions ahead of time. The fact that she couldn't
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 4: think on her feet and she was reading her answers
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 4: from index cards, you don't think that's going to hurt
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 4: her in Alaska?
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, the problem is you got two guys on
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: the ballot with the same name.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 4: That's not going to hurt. I think everybody in Alaska
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 4: at this point, if you know about it and we
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 4: know about it down here, trust me that in Alaska
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 4: they know about it.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: I think Tallarico wins in Texas.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 4: Really? Wow. Democratic sweep for him.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm seeing a tsunami here. I'm seeing because of Trump.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: I'm seeing a tsunami.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: Because they're all running against Trump. And what are the
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: Republicans doing now? They're all running away. from Trump.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 4: Not all of them, but yes, some of them are.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: So that's very telling. He's had like 35 percent in
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: the national polls. They're not really a good place to be.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: But when your own party candidates in the Senate are
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: running away from you.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 4: Like they did from Biden. It happens all the time.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 4: It happens every midterm. They ran away from Obama, if
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 4: you remember.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: I remember it well.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 4: So if your poll numbers are down a little bit low,
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 4: that's not really uncommon for that to happen. But no,
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 4: I think the I I do agree with you that
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 4: the Democrats will take the House. I don't think they're
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 4: going to take the Senate. I really don't believe it's
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 4: going to happen. And and only because of the polling,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 4: because it's so close right now. The fact that it's
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 4: so close in some of these states and Republicans are
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 4: like one ahead in many of the states like Kansas,
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 4: for instance. I got a feeling they're going to be
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 4: able to hold the Republican places, you know, the places
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 4: that are normally read, they're going to be able to hold.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 4: And that would include Ohio.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: Well, the best thing is, if you're into politics, it
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: makes it extremely interesting no matter where you look on
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: the map. Up next, one of my all-time favorite movies,
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: along with Nancy, my wife, Office Space. You know, I'm
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: always thinking, which person around here is the guy that
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: was put into the basement? You know, the nerdy guy?
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: With a stapler? Yeah. No, we don't want to say that. Anyway,
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: one of the actors passed away. We'll give you an
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: update on that. You'll never guess who he was, plus
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 2: a chance to see Journey next. And then, Jimmy Don't
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: Fail Me Failure, coming up at 8.38.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 4: There are so many actors out there that, you know,
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 4: never get the starring roles, but they stand out. In
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 4: everything they're in, they stand out because they're so good.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 4: And when you hear about them, you go, oh, yeah,
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 4: that guy. Oh, yeah, that guy. Well, Richard Reel, who
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 4: just died in Los Angeles at the age of 78,
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 4: is an actor that is one of those guys. Reel
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 4: made his screen debut in 1977 in the crime comedy
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 4: called Joyride. And since then, he's appeared, listen to this,
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 4: 430 screen roles either in TV or in movies. I've
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 4: never heard of that many. 430.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: And his extensive credits are Casino.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 4: He was in The Fugitive. He was in Bridesmaids. He
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 4: had a big role in Glory when he got into
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 4: a fight with the Denzel Washington character. A really great actor,
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 4: a tremendous actor. But everybody remembers him from the cult classic,
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 4: The Office Space.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: I have people skills.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: I am good at dealing with people.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 4: Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 4: you people? He was an employee there named Tom Smikowski.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 4: And Thomas Mikalski was a guy that just walked around
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 4: the office talking to everybody, and nobody knew what he
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 4: really did. And then some efficiency people came in, and
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 4: they sat down and talked to him, and he was
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 4: trying to say that he is a people person. And
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 4: at the end of it, they kept pressing him. Yeah,
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 4: but what do you actually do? Like during your day,
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 4: what are the tasks you do? And he finally got
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 4: fed up. And that's when you heard.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 16: I have people skills.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: I am good at dealing with people.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 3: Can't you understand that?
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 4: What the hell is wrong with you people? And of course,
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 4: in saying he has people skills, he ruined it with
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 4: that rant.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that was the two bobs that they brought in, remember?
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: Started asking questions. But I love Swingline Milton. You know
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: how they took him and put him in the basement.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: Who was that? Lumberg who walked around with the coffee
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: cup in his hand. Put him in the basement. He
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: had like staples attached to his eyeglasses. He played the radio.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: He listened to the radio.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 4: And he loved his stapler.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: And he loved 710WOR.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 4: You can hear that on the radio.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure what he was.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 2: But he was listening. Remember he said, oh, no, you
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: got to turn the radio off.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 4: That's great. It is. He was a tremendous actor, and
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 4: now he's gone. But let's get some talkbacks.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 13: Curtis, you were right about everything.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: Well, I've been talking to a lot of my friends.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 13: Everybody making $ 15, 000 north and south of what I make,
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 13: which is $ 80, 000 a year, are either not showing up
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 13: to vote or they're going to vote Democrat to slow
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 13: Trump down, as I've been saying on the talkbacks for
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 13: about three weeks. Anyway, this Russia thing, it's going to
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 13: bury the administration. It's going to lose the House and
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 13: the Senate. If Rubio doesn't run for president, we're not
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 13: going to get a president again.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 4: I recognize this guy. He calls in a lot, and
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 4: it's always anti-Trump, but it's anti-Republican.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: Notice how J.D. Vance, the vice president, would not endorse
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 2: Bibi Netanyahu breaking with the president on that.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but the president, even though his poll numbers are
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 4: low here, are not in Israel. That endorsement of him
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 4: in Israel, that does carry weight.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 14: If they have all these things on Elon Omar and
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 14: they're all true, she's going to make George Santos look.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: Like an amateur.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're exactly right. No, it seems like they're all true.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 4: I will tell you something, and take a look at
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 4: it if you can find any of the interviews with
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 4: Tom Holman, especially the one on Fox when he's asked
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 4: if there's anything else. And his smile tells it all.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: Gotta be financial, Campy. You were off by a year
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: when you came in from Somalia. But now, right now,
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: it's 8.30. Let's get the news from Daria. Morning, guys.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 10: Mostly sunny today. We'll see a high of 70 degrees.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 10: Seems like yesterday, doesn't it, that the Knicks won the
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 10: NBA championship? Well, now they have to defend it. And
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 10: they'll host Philadelphia to start things off tonight. Before the tip-off, though,
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 10: the team will get their rings and they'll raise the
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 10: banner at the Garden. A pro-Palestinian group has claimed responsibility
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 10: for vandalizing a bank in Manhattan. And now the NYPD
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 10: is looking into it.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 17: The group Palestine Action tells NBC it's responsible for breaking
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 17: glass and spray-painting pro-Palestinian phrases at the Capital One Bank
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 17: on East 86th Street. Street and 2nd Avenue Monday morning.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 17: Council Speaker Julie Menon is reacting.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 4: It's completely unacceptable. I mean, this is vandalism.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 11: Now it's being investigated as a hate crime.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 9: The windows were all shattered.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 17: A statement by Palestine Action to NBC reads in part,
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 17: our action has showed Capital One the price of their
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 17: complicity in genocide. Do business with Elbit and we will
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 17: cost you money. Elbit Systems is an Israel-based defense technology company.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 4: I'm Scott Pringle, WOR News.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 10: Researchers at Louisiana State University say they've found new ways
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 10: to treat type 2 diabetes.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 6: From data released by scientists at LSU's Pennington Biomedical Research
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 6: Center and the University of Oklahoma, tweaking a gene in
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 6: mice reduced a protein that disrupts insulin. Exercise also lowered
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 6: the troublesome protein in human patients, pointing to dual-action therapies
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 6: down the road. Scientists say the discovery may eventually lead
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 6: to advanced new medicines. I'm Tammy Trujillo.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 10: Well, happy hour here in the city can cost as
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 10: much as a meal, maybe more in some cases. Now
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 10: there's a website called 5PMNYC. It's dedicated to happy hours
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 10: across the five boroughs, and it says you will pay
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 10: an average of $ 19. 50 at watering holes in Nomad, Tribeca,
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 10: on the Upper East Side, neighborhoods like that, for one drink.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 10: If you're looking for a bargain, head to the outer boroughs,
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 10: where that Manhattan may cost just $ 12. 50 in Bayside or Bushwick.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 10: The Rangers beat Anaheim. Next news, 9 o'clock, bulletins at once.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 10: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Daria, and congratulations to George Osman from Elmont,
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 4: New York. You just won a pair of tickets to
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 4: see Journey, November 7th at Nassau Coliseum. Tickets are on
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 4: sale right now at Ticketmaster.com. You've got another chance to
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 4: win tomorrow at 825. Well, now that Kate Zachariah is out,
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 4: who better to be the new press secretary than Jimmy Fallon?
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 4: I'll ask him if he'll accept the job coming up next.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 4: We're now joined by Jimmy Fallon, WOR host from 9
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 4: to Midnight and Fox Across America with Jimmy Fallon and
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 4: host of The Fox News Saturday night show with Jimmy
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 4: Fallon on the Fox News channel. I was thinking about
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 4: you over the last couple of days because I felt
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 4: really bad for Katie Zachariah, who got the press secretary's job.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 4: And it was almost like a setup. She flew in
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 4: from L.A. She got off the plane and she was
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 4: basically put at the podium with not much of a briefing.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 4: But now the job's open and I'm thinking, you know,
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 4: Jimmy Fallon, I've seen pictures of him at the podium before.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 4: If you were the press secretary, would you start with
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 4: a set?
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: I think it would lower the temperature.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 8: But if I wanted to make the room laugh, I
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 8: wouldn't write material. I would just read them my background check.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 8: Once they saw the results, it's like, wait, you did
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 8: what when you were 22? You once drove a man
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 8: to where in a taxi?
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: Well, this is great.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 8: Think how much heat it would take off the president
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 8: if I opened by saying that I've met a time
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 8: traveler from another solar system.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: You know, it definitely takes the edge off him, doesn't it?
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 2: So do you have any suggestions since she actually beat
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: the record set by Scaramucci, that's Skifosa. What was he,
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: 12 days? She was, what, five days? Obviously, better luck.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 2: than him.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 4: Do you have any suggestions?
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 8: Well, first of all, she beat the record that was
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 8: set by the Goldfish. I won at the Carnival at
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 8: Island Trees, Long Island in 1991. That thing at least
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 8: gave us 48 hours before they told me that story
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 8: about how it swam away to go see his family.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: I heard the toilet flush in the other room.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, man.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: Golden missed his family. He's going for a swim flush anyway.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 2: No wonder why you've been traumatized. There's no doubt about it.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 4: That was it.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: That was the defining moment.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, I will say this.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 8: They need, like, you need a public speaker. Being on
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 8: TV enough is not alone. Because, like, as you can tell,
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 8: poor Katie... She's used to being one of four panelists,
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 8: which is not the same thing as leading every journalist
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 8: on earth knowing they hate you. That's not a friendly gig.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 8: If you're the Trump press secretary, you know every question is,
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 8: you literally work for Hitler.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: What's going on with the tariffs? And you're like, wait,
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: where do I even start with that?
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 8: You need somebody who actually has live experience. That's why,
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 8: I mean, a comic is not a bad choice in theory,
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 8: but they're going to have to get someone who is, like,
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 8: more of a public speaker.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: You know, somebody who goes on the road a lot.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 4: Like, if you wanted a serious recommendation, Kurt.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 8: I think it should be somebody who kind of ran
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 8: for office and isn't doing a lot right now.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: Can we think of anybody like that? I don't mean locally.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: I mean nationally. I was thinking of Tudor Dixon.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 14: Do you know Tudor Dixon?
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: I do. She ran for.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 8: Senate in Michigan, and she was one of the old-fashioned women.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 8: She didn't have a penis. She didn't hate Israel.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: You know, so she doesn't fit in in modern Michigan politics,
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: but she.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 8: Has a good command, and I think she would do it.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: But I don't think she's listed.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: In the odds.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think so.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm so sorry I asked that question.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 14: I really am, Timmy.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 4: That's the first time he's ever said that.
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 2: So let's get to the field that you are an
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 2: expert in comedy. Two of the greatest of all time,
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 2: Seinfeld and Larry David. couldn't be any more different as
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: they have now plunged themselves into the political realm. With Seinfeld,
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: he's up front, he's IDF, he supports Zionism, he goes,
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: I'm a Zionist, and he's still touring. So he's on
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 2: that stage in Chicago, and right away, pro-Palestinian folks have
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 2: paid the tab to get in, and they start giving
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: him grief.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 10: Seinfeld!
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 4: Seinfeld! Listen to me!
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: You're a racist! There are 74,000 dead Palestinians! So now,
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: how would you deal with that if all of a
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 2: sudden you're doing your stand-up? Packed location, like 4,000 people.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, make that funny.
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: Well, first of all, the guy sounds like Larry David.
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 8: It kind of sounds like a sketch and curb your enthusiasm.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: But what I love.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 8: About these situations is like it's such like a misappropriation
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 8: of protest because nobody at a Jerry Seinfeld show makes
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 8: Middle East policy. They don't make it for Israel. They
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 8: don't make it for America. They're just there to buy
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 8: the two drink minimum, watch the show and laugh. So
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 8: it just seems like the wrong thing to do.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 8: Like, you know, you wouldn't show up, you know, to
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 8: my kids flag football game this weekend and protest climate change,
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 8: would you? Because nobody there, you know what I mean,
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 8: is in it.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: You know, it's again, it's like the no king thing.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 8: We don't have kings. So it's like them protesting no
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 8: abs on The View. It's like you've already accomplished what
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 8: you're there for.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 4: Hey, listen, as someone that tours the country and plays
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 4: some big arenas, I am always impressed by Donald Trump.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 4: Forget the poll numbers for one minute. Just as a performance,
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 4: I have never seen a politician so quick in the
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 4: moment and so comfortable on the stage as he talks
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 4: to arenas.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 8: He's a crowd work comedian. You know, the difference being, like,
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 8: Seinfeld is a material comedian.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 14: He has an act.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 8: He has, you know, an hour and 20 minutes that
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 8: he's written, and it's really well polished. And he's, for
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 8: the most part, going to stick to the script unless,
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 8: you know, a free Palestine guy heckles him as you played. Trump,
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 8: on the other hand, shows up with no script, meaning
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 8: there's a teleprompter. But as you know, the teleprompter is
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 8: just a suggestion. And he's very comfortable going off script.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 8: Look at this guy in the front row. My friend
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 8: over there is fat. You know, he's more of a Rickles.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 8: Does that make sense?
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 6: He is.
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: You know, we elected Don Trump, as I always say,
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: and we got Don Rickles. That's what he is.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 2: Well, don't you remember the roast when they roasted Donald
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 2: Trump at the old Friars Club? It was Don Rickles.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 2: You know, hey, you hockey puck. He roasted not only Trump,
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 2: but everybody that was on the dais.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: That's how it works.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 8: I mean, that's the thing about going with Trump rally
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 8: is like you're all in the splash zone.
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: You have no idea where the thing's going to go.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 8: So it's weird because the things they do at a
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 8: Trump rally that are predictable are I always say to
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 8: people because I've covered a lot of them. It's like
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 8: the new Rocky Horror Picture Show in that you'll hear
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 8: people in the crowd go, hey, we can't go to
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 8: the bathroom. They're about to do lock her up.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: And they're like.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 8: We'll go during Drain the Swamp and we'll come back
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 8: for Build a Wall at the end.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: Let's go.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 4: Hey, Bill Maher is getting a lot of blowback from
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 4: people like Larry David and other comedians for going and
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 4: meeting Donald Trump now twice. He's had two dinners at
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 4: the White House. And I think he's been brilliant in saying, look,
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 4: I still rip the guy all the time, but I'm
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 4: not going to turn down an invitation to meet the
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 4: President of the United States.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: How do you feel about it? How do you feel
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 2: about the meetings?
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 8: Well, he's being one of the adults in the room because...
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 8: What they're doing is they're not legitimizing this pretend hysteria
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 8: that Trump is like a Hitler or an existential threat
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 8: or living in this unprecedented moment.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: None of that is true. And when you refuse to.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 8: Meet with Trump, when you refuse to show the humanity
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 8: of the other side of a political position. you further
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 8: this manufactured hysteria. Like, there are a lot of people
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 8: that believe we're living in this perilous moment where Trump's,
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 8: you know, going to wipe out the Republic, and none
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 8: of that's true.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: Again, I always make the same point.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 8: NBC employed this man for 15 years as the host
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 8: of Celebrity Apprentice, okay? So imagine when an NBC anchor
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 8: gets on TV at least one time a day and
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 8: calls him literally Hitler. They are literally paying him royalties.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 8: You know, and you can't separate that.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 4: That is the truth.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 8: That is the truth, which means everything else that comes
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 8: after it is pretend.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: So what Bill Maher is doing is.
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 8: He's forcing the conversation back to reality.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: So I actually applaud that.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 4: I'm glad he does that.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 2: I always say, Jimmy, when you were Vice President Vance,
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 2: you called him Hitler. You became the vice president years later.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, there is there is an ability to get
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 2: beyond that.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he doesn't care.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 8: As he famously says, he's like, if I refuse to
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 8: work with everybody who's ever taken a shot at me,
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 8: I'd be alone in the White House right now. And
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 8: it's true, because everybody has taken a shot. And it
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 8: depends on your entree into the conversation. Like when Vance
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 8: got started in politics, Trump had just come down the escalator,
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 8: and every op-ed in the media was Trump is Hitler.
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 16: Louis C.K.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: Wrote one.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 4: Do you remember that?
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 2: Louis C.K.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: Wrote that he is literally Hitler.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 8: And I don't mind, you know, Louis C.K., nice enough guy.
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 8: He's touring again, although you have to wear a poncho
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 8: if you're in the front row. Because, you know, sometimes
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 8: there's a splash zone with Louie. But the point is,
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 8: he was swept up by the same dopey zeitgeist.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 16: As everybody else.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what, Jimmy. I'm the Sandman at
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 2: the Apollo. I'm coming out and giving you the hook.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 2: Every night, 9 to 12, Monday through Friday, you go
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 2: to sleep with Jimmy Failure. You'll wake up with Larry
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 2: and Curtis at 6 in the morning at 710 WR.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Jimmy.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 8: You're the best.
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: See you guys.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 2: November 5th. Macron, who fancied himself as the leader of
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 2: all of Europe, missing in action as there were riots, looting,
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 2: fires throughout France. on Saturday and days before that, he
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 2: was seen at a Celine Dion concert. My God, it's
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 2: like going down in the Titanic. But he's out with
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 2: six months to go. It's an interim government. You know,
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 2: he's just holding the place setting until a national election
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 2: takes place between the far left and far right. But
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 2: in the interim time, The interior minister has imposed curfews
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 2: in Paris and other major cities from about 8 o'clock
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 2: at night to 6 o'clock in the morning. 3,000 stores
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 2: were looted on Saturday alone. He said, we will track
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 2: down the looters if it's the last thing we do,
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 2: you know, with, what can we show? Inspector Clouseau, you know,
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 2: they're not going to catch any of these guys. And
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 2: it's just showing that the public safety fabric in France
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 2: is coming apart. The interior minister said the police were
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: unprepared for the riots on Saturday, but we'll be ready
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 2: for the day of outrage that is being called round
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 2: two on Saturday. Really looking bad.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 4: It does look bad. And this is simmering in a
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 4: different way. This is simmering. Immigration problems is simmering right now.
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 4: That is at the basis of this. It's not the
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 4: face of it except for the people that are looting.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 4: If you look, they look like that they are not
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 4: French unless somehow they were born there. But if you
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 4: look at Germany right now, if you look at the UK,
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 4: this is a problem that is simmering throughout Europe. And
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 4: we'll be talking about that over the next couple of days.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 4: What we can talk about tomorrow is that you know
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 4: that Jay-Z is in charge of picking who the halftime
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 4: act is at the Super Bowl. And I think over
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 4: the last few years, he's been awful. It's shown that
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 4: he shouldn't be picking. But guess who it sounds like
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 4: he's picking this year? Himself.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 2: You're kidding.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 4: Jay-Z, it sounds like it's being reported widely, is now
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 4: going to be the halftime act. He got picked by Jay-Z.
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 2: So this is like when Dick Cheney was searching for
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 2: a vice president for Bush 43 and then he picked himself.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's exactly the same thing. Nobody better for the
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 4: job than me.
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 2: Well, he'll certainly get eyeballs because Beyoncé will come out
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: with his daughter. I think her name is Blue and
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 2: probably all the other ancillary rappers for the halftime show.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 4: Maybe great.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 2: We can talk about it more tomorrow. Anyway, we're always
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: talking about crime in this city. The talkback of the
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 2: morning and winner of the Curtis Lee and Larry Menti
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 2: in the morning T-shirt and now in the running for
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 2: talkback of the week who will win a C-Crane radio
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 2: has an important question.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 16: Seen a lot more crazy people than usual. You had
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 16: that stabbing in Times Square.
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 4: I see like.
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 16: People who are out here vocal, you know, like they
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 16: used to leave you alone, but now they get in
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 16: your face. One guy was doing finger guns at somebody
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 16: and then he threw an empty soda can right at
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 16: this 18 year old tourist's face.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 4: And she was so scared.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 16: What's he going to do next?
• 1:40:22
