Highlights for Curtis and Larry · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, I concur with that statement better together. Because essentially,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: I'm urban boy. I was never a member of the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: 4-H club. I don't live in the suburbs. But Larry Menti,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: you and our producer Natalie, you live in what I call,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: leave it to be the land, father knows best, little
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: house in the prairie. You're out there where most of
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: our listeners are, the suburbs. And there is an article
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: that says, especially October, December, The deer have the urge
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: to merge. They're all over New Jersey roads looking for sex.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: And state officials are warning you better crawl along some
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: of these roads because if they have that instinct that
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: there's a buck on the other side or a doe
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: on one side, man, that's it. They were running right
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: across that asphalt, right in front of your vehicle. Correct
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: or not correct?
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: No, it's absolutely correct. The weirdest thing is, as I've
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: complained several times on the air here, my backyard is
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: usually filled with deer. All of a sudden, no deer.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Like the last couple of weeks, nothing. We haven't seen
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: any of the baby deer or the fawns or the
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: bucks or the does. Nobody's been out there. So I
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: guess it's like mating season in america they they're all
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: going to the singles bars you know i'm.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Just thinking i haven't seen them walking around in the
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: past two weeks.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Either where are they going well they're looking for love
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: in all the wrong places in all the wrong places.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah on the roads it's true especially at dusk and dawn,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: they just come bolting out. And I know the areas,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: I'm sure you do too, Larry, where they tend to
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: jump out on you.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it's anywhere. I mean, it happened down the
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: block from my house.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: So I was driving here to work just a couple
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: of years ago and a big buck jumps like out
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: of the woods right in front of my car and
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I veered off and I hit a rock. And so
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I called the insurance company and the insurance company said,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: don't worry, we'll take care of it. You know, these,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: these bucks, they're, they're a big problem. So the guy
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: called another, you know, you give your, you give all
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the information to the first guy, then somebody else calls
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: you back. That's going to handle it. He calls me
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: back and he says, wow. He goes, listen, we'll take
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: care of this car. It's horrible. When you hit a deer,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: they can do big damage. And I go, oh, I
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: didn't hit the deer. And he went, okay. I'll pretend
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: you didn't say that. Luckily, we're not recording right now.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: And I went, why? And he goes, because if you
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: hit the deer, you get 100% coverage. If you veer
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: off and you have an accident, well, part of that
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: is your fault. And you only get half to 60%.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I went, what?
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: So if I were to kill the deer.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I would have made out. I would have done much better.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: He goes, well, as it is right now, you're still
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: going to do much better if you can just say
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: that you hit the deer. If you can agree with
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: me that you hit the deer. Wow. And I said,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: you know what? It's coming back to me now.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I went right for it.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I think I must have hit my head and I
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: was confused. Yes, I hit the deer.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: So now let me ask you this, Larry. With your
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: peripheral vision that you proved you have, as this big
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: buck jumps right in front and you veer away and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: crash into the wall, on the other side, did you
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: happen to see a doe flashing.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Her tail in this direction? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I will tell you, it was weird. It's a one-lane road.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: And so it's not a lot of road. And there is,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: as I said, I hit rocks. There's like a rock wall.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: And then it's thick brush. It came flying out of
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the brush. But I think you're right. He probably was
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: on the prowl. Why else would do that? Unless something
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: was chasing it.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: And apparently the key monster, October, December, this is the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: mating season and they go just absolutely kookalamunga.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: I've actually, you know, and I live in a smaller area,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: same thing, you know, one lane roads and they, they
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: come out all the time. A few years ago, I
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: was out on Route 3, probably near Clifton. You know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: not a place you would normally think you see deer.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Six lanes.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: This deer comes out. I could see it coming from
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: the other side. He gets to it. It's like a steeplechase.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: It goes over the barrier, then into ours.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: And you see, thank goodness, it's, you know, 4 o'clock
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: in the morning, so it's not as many cars on
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: the road. I had never seen anything like that in
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: my entire life.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: We have an eight-foot fence in the front of our
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: house with little spikes at the top. We had a
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: deer jump that. Stop. Unbelievable. Then he got hit by
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: a car. It was horrible. Poor Don scared it away,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: and it went running and jumped and then made it
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: over the fence but got hit by a car.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Don caused the death of that deer?
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: No.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Well, we're going to assume it died as it limped away.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: We'll rewrite. Let me tell you my one experience. It
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: was on Staten Island where you were born, Natalie. It's
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: an island. Yeah.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: When I lived there, I never saw a deer because
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: it was like 30 years ago.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm campaigning there. This is in 2021 against Eric Adams.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Nancy's with me. We're near the South Shore. They claim
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: there are about 2,500 white-tailed deer there. And she sees
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the deer and tells the guy driving the campaign van,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: pull over, pull over. She starts feeding the deer. Oh, no.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: A guy from Staten, like, hey, I was going to
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: vote for you, but, you know, there's a New York
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: state law. You can't feed the deer. I said, you
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: want to try to tell my wife that? What was
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: she feeding them? What did she have on her? A
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: combination like bird seed, other things that she keeps together.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: She's always feeding the animals. But they all started coming
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: to her. She has this ability, like. That is weird.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's strange.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: You must have some type of innate ability because most deer,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: you start walking at them, they take off. First of all,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: they stare you down.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Stare you down.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Because they want to know, are you serious? Are you
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: walking towards me? And then at a certain point, it's...
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: They're gone.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I think the way they got there, because they weren't
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: normal to Staten Island, it's an island, is they swam
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: across that Arthur Kilimanjaro from New Jersey, where I'm surprised
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the toxicity didn't incinerate them. That's one of the most
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: polluted waterways. but the closest point is Perth Amboy to Tottenville.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: You could hit a golf ball from one side to
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the other. I think that's probably where the deer then
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: migrate to Staten Island. Cause obviously it's a hell of
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: a lot better being in Staten Island than New Jersey.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Cause they're not, they weren't going over the Bayonne bridge.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we know that.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I'm still stunned that Nancy was able to approach the deer.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: She is the female version of Dr. Doolittle. When she
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: visits her mom in the middle of nowhere, Pennsylvania, uh,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: She walks up to the fence. The deer see her
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and immediately run to her. She feeds the deer. And naturally,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: people who see that in the nearby house say, please,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: don't do that, lady. You're just going to encourage them all. Because,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: you know, some people view the deer as if they're
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Agent Orange in hooves because they just consume everything like.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Your wife does. They're giant rats is what they are.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Speaking of giant rats.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: You have a giant rat in your house?
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: No.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I hope not.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: I saw the biggest rat this morning coming in.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Cat size. I haven't seen a rat in a long
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: time coming in. They're everywhere. Oh, my goodness. This one
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: was huge right in front of our building. Yeah, put
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: a saddle on it and ride it around. You know,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: they try everything. Like with the white-tailed deer in Staten Island,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: one thing about Staten Island that's good, you can't hunt there.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: You know, like in New Jersey, they have a hunting season.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be a crazy place to hunt.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Hell yeah. But they use non-lethal vasectomies.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: So they shoot the deer, mostly the bucks. They shoot
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: them with a dart, you know, that basically drops them.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: They're still alive. And then they use this vasectomy. Can
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: you imagine a vasectomy on a deer?
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, there are guys, right, who say, well, I
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: want a vasectomy because I don't want to get caught
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: cheating or whatever. But my God, a vasectomy. And apparently
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: it's cut the herd in half from the 2,500 that
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I remember back in 2021 when I inquired of people
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: out there, along with their wild turkeys, which are all
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: over the place, going up and down Highland Boulevard. The
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: lights change, Larry. It's a green light. It's on Seaview.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I run out there. I'm thinking the cars are going
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: to hit the wild turkeys, you know. And everybody goes, ah,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: they cross every day. They wait for the light to
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: turn green. Don't worry about it. They're safer out here
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: on Highland Boulevard, the most heavily trafficked, I might add,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: of all the thoroughfares. than anybody else.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: We would love to know if you've seen any horny
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: deer and if you have decided, man, if I could
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: only give them a vasectomy, go to iHeartRadio app and
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: leave us a talkback. You could win a Curtis Lee
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: and Larry Menti in the morning t-shirt, which will be
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: awarded every day to our favorite talkback of the morning.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: And while you're on the free iHeartRadio app, be sure
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: to set a preset for 710WOR in certain areas of
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: our listening area, in certain neighborhoods of our listening area.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: There are people that deal with deer every single day.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: So I'm sure they have some stories. Don't forget the best.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: talk back of the week takes home a sea crane radio.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: And up next oh you're not going to want to
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: miss it how many times have you looked through your
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: scroll and you've seen pictures of either crocodiles or alligators
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: just coming up out of the water you know you
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: see their beady eyes gone gone Well, it happened in Florida.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: And Larry's going to guide everybody out there who thinks
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: that it's paradise in Florida. Except down there, you've got
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to watch the Gators. All of that up next. Cardiac
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Kids once again took us to the last seconds of
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the football game. The New York Giants versus the New
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. And on the line, the sportsmeister extraordinaire, Warner Wolfe.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Can you break it down for us, Warner?
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: All right, Curtis. It's four straight games that go down
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: to the last play of the game. And despite John
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: Harbaugh's noncommittal comment, You can bet that J.J. McCarthy, Jonathan
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: James McCarthy, a barring injury, not only will start next week,
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: he'll be the quarterback for the rest of the season.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: And he had no choice at the finish there. You
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: remember it was fourth and one at the Saints 14. Well,
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: they couldn't, you know, just go for the one yard
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: first down because who knows how much time would have
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: been left. They had to go for an end zone.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: But here's the question I have. What took Harbaugh so
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: long to put McCarthy into the game? He didn't come
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: into the game until the fourth quarter and still threw
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: for 243 yards. So next season, think about this. The
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: Giants will have a situation of Jackson, Dart, and J.J. McCarthy.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: This is similar to the early 1960s Giants situation who
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: had Charlie Connolly and Y.A.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Tittle.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: And let me ask you a question, Warren. The bowling ball, Scatterboo,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: you know, it was fun.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: I expect him to be in the lineup next week
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: because they had no running game yesterday.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: None.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: None at all.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, gosh.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: And he never, he didn't play. So I guess he
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: was really taking it hard. He should. And that was
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: the penalty for fumbling. He's a fumbler. He can't have
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: a running back that keeps on fumbling. So that was
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: his penalty. And I don't know if he's the coach,
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: and he knows. So that's the way it is. As
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: far as the Jets go, I think you have to
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: forget the Jets. They're 2-4, but look at the schedule.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: They still have the Vikings, the Broncos, the Chiefs, the Raiders,
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: and the Bills twice. They could lose all six of
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: those games the way they're playing and finish 6-11. That's
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: what I look at. And by the way, here's why
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: the NFL doesn't like the gamblers, the heavy hitters, coming
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: in early. The Eagles were point-and-a-half favored over Carolina before
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: it became public that Jalen Hurts wouldn't play because of
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: the blood clot. So then the gamblers find out first,
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: and they make Carolina a three-and-a-half point. Here they're a
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: point-and-a-half underdog, a favorite. Eagles were a point-and-a-half favorite, and
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: the gamblers are, no, wait a minute. We know Hertz
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: is not playing. So Carolina became a three-and-a-half point favorite.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: So here's what you did. If you took the Eagles
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: and gave a point-and-a-half early and then took Carolina... and
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: gave three and a half, you won both bets because
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Carolina won by 11 points. And let me ask you
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: a question. What's going on with these college football officials?
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: That's at least three games involving major teams where the
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: on-field referees said the game was over when there was
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: really one second left. And then there was, remember the
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: Michigan game, there was no time left. They gave them
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: a second to play and they won the game. So Saturday,
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Notre Dame-BYU, there was one second left. The clock showed it.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: The replay showed it. The game was Notre Dame had
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: the ball to BYU 8, and the referee said the
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: game was over.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you a question, Warner. Were the
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: referees Mormon?
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's good. Oh, you got a bell. Well, you
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: know what, you... You've got to change the rule. Don't
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: let the teams leave the field until all videotapes have
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: been reviewed. Also, maybe how about start fining or even
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: firing the officials. You know, that's big money, college football.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: And speaking of college football, did you see that next
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: season you're going to have not 12 teams in the playoffs,
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: 24 playoff teams. 24, man, you're talking about watering down
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: a product. Come on, bring in those mediocre 7-5 and
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: 8-4 teams. Man, I'll tell you, if you can't make
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: the playoffs with 24 teams, you really are bad. All right, baseball. Now,
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: if the big money Dodgers were a radio station, and
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: they spent $ 200 million more than their main competitive radio station,
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: and the other station beat you in the ratings, your
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: stockholders would clean house and maybe try and hire some
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: personnel from the other station. Well, while the small market
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: and small payroll teams like Milwaukee, Cleveland, and Tampa are
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: all still in the playoffs, all the World Series teams
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: The owners of the wealthy Dodgers, Mets, Yanks, and Phillies
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: are sitting home counting their money and sucking their thumbs. Boy,
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: One quick note. That happened in radio. You had Wolfman
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Jack at night on NBC versus Cousin Brucey at WABC
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: spinning stacks of wax six nights a week. Wolfman Jack
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: lost the ratings left. And NBC, then their board said,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: go hire Cousin Brucie. And they did.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: That's it. That's the way to do it. Wolfman Jack.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: Do you know my father's real name? First name was Jack.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: He was Jack Wolf. So kids used to call me
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: Wolfman Jack. Anyway, here's the pool of the week. Man,
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: to me, this is terrible. It goes to the transgender
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: Washington State high school runner. who came in 76th against
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: other male runners. Then he comes back three weeks later, says,
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: give me some women runners. He ran against all female
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: runners and came in first in a meet. You know,
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: I don't care what you say, what you do, how
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: you dress, how you act. You are a stronger male body.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: That's all there is to it. Hey, what's next? Does
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: this guy want to race against old men like me?
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: This is a farce.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: No, it's horrible. I don't understand why it's still legal,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: to tell you the truth. I don't get it at all.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: And most Americans feel that way, too. It's just one
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: party that wants it.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Oh, now you both. Maybe even Natalie is old enough
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: to remember this. I know you two guys are.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, come on.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: 49 years ago. 49 years ago yesterday, October 18, 1977,
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: Reggie Jackson hit three home runs on the first pitch
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: from three different pitchers. And that was game six of
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: the World Series, and the Yankees beat the Dodgers four
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: games to two. You remember that, right?
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, I remember Howard Cosell was pointing to the rear
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: where he grew up on Grand Concourse. There's a building
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: on fire and George Steinbrenner Sr. wants to move to
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: the Meadowlands? The freaking Meadowlands where they only buried garbage
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: and dead bodies of organized crime? Say it ain't so,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Howard Cosell. But anyway, on that note, Warner. It's time
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: for us to bid you adieu. Same time, same place
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: next week.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Enchanté.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, well, you know, France is burning, so I figure
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: France is in the news. We would do adieu to you.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Thank you, Warner.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Curtis Lewa and Larry Minty in the morning. The conversation continues.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: On 710WOR.
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: 15 days to go to the midterms, obviously early voting,
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: mail-in voting taking place, depending on where your jurisdiction is.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: But there are two major movements on both sides of
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the political dial. The normal No Kings rallies, which are
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: directed right at Donald Trump, what they did was recirculate
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the No Kings rallies. rallies over the weekend to encourage
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: their followers to go door to door to get out
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: a Democratic vote. So this is what elections sometimes come
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: down to, especially all of these elections. which are so close.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Can you get your vote out? Go door to door.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: It's an art. It's not easy to do. A lot
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: of people, they don't answer their doors any longer. They
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: got the bell ringers, you know, they can see it. Yeah, yeah,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: that works.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: You think those idiots that went out and were protesting
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: all over the country with no kings that have no
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: jobs and have nothing better to do, you think they're
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: going to get any votes? You think they're going to
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: get one vote? Oh, yeah.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: They're motivated. They are. They'll swarm neighborhoods.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Look, I saw it with Zoran Mandami. The Zoranistas. That's
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: how he won the election.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: The pink and the blue hairs are going to run
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: out there. And I don't understand how they do this.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: No Kings rally all of the time. And you know,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: what makes me mad is they keep covering them. There's
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: protests all the time. There's protests across America all the time.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: No Kings.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Boy, that gets coverage every single time. No, they're, These
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: are people without jobs. The average age is about 60
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: of these people. Everybody says, look at the young. They're
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: not young. These are people that have nothing better to do,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: and they go out there with their sons. They go
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: door to door and try to get a vote out.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: The door to door I don't think is happening. The
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: no kings is happening. The door to door you have
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: to hire for.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: That's in opposition to Elon Musk, who promised months ago
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: that he would drop $ 400 million. Specifically to get canvassers,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: paid canvassers to go door to door. He has pretty
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: much decided, forget the congressional races. I think most Republicans
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: have figured the Democrats are going to win the majority.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: The House races. The House races, I'm sorry. And try
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: to save the Senate majority. That's a lot of money.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Just alone in Paxton's race, he has dumped $ 168 million
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: with more to come because he's now a resident of Texas.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: He has most of his business operations there that he
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: moved from California. And that'll be used to go door
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: to door, which Paxton needs. Obviously, Tallarico, he's got his people.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: So you may end up, if you're sitting home waiting
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: for your Amazon deliveries, It's not Amazon. It's swarms of
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: people coming to try to convince you to vote for
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: their candidates. And the funny.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Thing is, and I've been involved in this kind of
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: stuff before, the door-to-door stuff isn't just anybody. They have
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: particular doors they want to get to. And what they're
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: trying to do is get Republicans or Democrats, depending on
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: who's going door-to-door. So the Republicans want to get Republicans
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: to make sure they vote. That's what it is. They're
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: not trying to convince you of anything. They already know
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: your registration. They just want to make sure you are
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: going to vote. They will help you. They'll say to you,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: do you have a ride? Can you get to the polls?
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Have you mailed in your ballots yet? That is the
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: door to door. So the door to door, that's why
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: when you say it's going to convince people, the door
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: to door for the most part, I don't know of
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: anywhere where they're trying to convince people. They're trying to
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: convince people to vote where they already know where they're
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: going to vote.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Well, in some states, not all states, you can legally bundle,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: especially if people have paper ballots, which, as you know,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: in a lot of states, most of the voting now
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: is done by paper ballots. They'll tell you, oh, we'd
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: be more than happy to take your paper ballots. And
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: it is legal if it's done the right way. Both
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: sides have done, especially in the last election. when the
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Trump campaign decided to use all the tools in the box,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: you know, early voting, mail-in ballots, bundling, wherever it's legal.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: And so there's training going on. Remember, 15 days left.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: sometimes there are those people who haven't yet made up
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: their mind if they're going to go vote. Maybe they
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: have a candidate in mind, but they just, ah, I
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: don't have time. I'm not going to waste my time.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: And you're right. They'll carry you on the back for
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: early voting. We'll drive you down there right now.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: That's their number one job. And they, like I said,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: most of the time, you get a knock on your door,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: they already know how you're going to vote. They just
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: want to make sure you vote. In the midterm elections,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: when sometimes less than 50% of the people vote, The
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: only thing that matters, the only thing that matters is
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: getting your people out to vote because most of them
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: either forget or because it's not big elections for the
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: most part everywhere. It's not the presidential election. There's not
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: that excitement about these elections. So they just not they
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: don't vote. And that's what, by the way, a lot
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: of people say these ads don't work.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, political ads.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: I'm sick of them. They don't work. They do work.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: They do work. They they've they've already done research on that.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: That they have, they will research people and many of
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: the things they say back to them in the focus
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: groups are exactly from the ads. So that's why they
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: play over and over and over again to make sure
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: that message sinks into your head.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: The other thing they'll do, and I saw that with
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: the Zoranistas, they'll go to a household where the adults
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: in the house, mommy, daddy, grandpa, grandma, are Republicans. but
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: they know that there are new voters in there, some
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: of whom haven't told their mom or dad that they've
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: registered either as an independent. Most young people now register
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: as independents, and some of them Democrats. You know, you
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: have those kind of disagreements in the House. They'll come
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: back three, four times till they get that young person
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: to talk to, even though the elderly who are there,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the grandparents or the parents, are making them feel very uncomfortable.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I told you the last time you came here, I
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: don't want to see you in my front door. You know,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: they treat them like members of the Church of the
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Latter-day Saints, Mormons, you know, or they're missionary or Jehovah Witnesses.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: And they are persistent.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, if you're looking to make some money,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: if you go to LinkedIn or any of the work
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: sites and you put in political canvasser, yeah, you can
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: make some money because they're hiring. Just make sure you
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: get your checks up front. Just make sure you don't
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: have to wait for your checks because losing campaigns have
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: a way of not paying.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: And I will say this, you're going to see the
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: analytics now. that Elon Musk is famous for. So some
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: of that money is going to go specifically to target
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: those who are likely to vote with a sort of reminder,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: a refresher, if they're on X, if there are other
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: means to reach out to them, texting them, emailing them, calls.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: People are going to get barraged in the last 15 days.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: I wonder if– I haven't heard this.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: I want to look this up.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Has he changed his algorithm for the elections? And will
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: that be investigated if the Democrats get in?
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Well–
