  Speaker 1: Oh, let me tell you, what a gorgeous Sunday fall
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: day it was yesterday. And it's so nice to have
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: you back, Natalie, because I know you are in marathon
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: mode next Sunday.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: This Sunday coming up, November 1st, we're going to be
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: on the air from 8 to noon with Larry and
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Tim McLoone. We have a new race commentator this year.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: She's going to be fabulous.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: To tell you the truth, it is one of my
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: favorite days of the year. And as the marathon says,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: the best day of the year in the best city
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: in the world. And it's true because I think Larry
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: has felt that now.
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: Oh, it is. It's amazing. You know what's amazing to me?
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: So we get to stay overnight, you know, the night before.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: And you meet all the people in the hotels. They
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: come from everywhere.
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: Everywhere.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: Australia, Belgium, Japan. Man, and this is– they work all
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: year for this moment just to come to New York
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: and run in the New York City Marathon. So it's
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: a whole bunch of dreams coming true. So it's a
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: lot of fun. I am so happy how much you
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: have to work on this because then I don't have to.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: She does– She does everything. I mean, it's amazing how
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: much work she does.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: There's so much prep. People don't realize for such a
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: huge event like that, Natalie is working morning, noon, and night,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: and then you get to show up, Larry.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: No, he does his fair share.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, the TCS New York City Marathon does their
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: share for sure, but.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: The broadcast is a lot.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: We've got four races going on at one time, plus
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: all the regular people, as I call them. We have
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: reporters all over the city. So it's going to be
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun. And this year, it's the commemoration
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: of the 50th anniversary of the original Five Borough New
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: York City Marathon. Because as you know, it started as
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: a four loop around Central Park.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: It's really grown. It's amazing what the New York Roadrunners
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: have done with this. I will tell you, I was
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: in a Zoom meeting with Natalie during the week. And
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: there's a whole lot of people on it. All these
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: people are on it. And then, so I'm watching it.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: And then my son goes to leave and take the
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: car and I have to run to him and say, what.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Are you doing?
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: What are you doing? I didn't know my mic was on.
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: One of those Zoom problems. At least you didn't have
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: your pants down to your knees and your ankles like
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: some of these commentators did during the lockdown and pandemic.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Wow, that was him.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: People lost careers over that.
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah, CNN.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: But anyway.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: But I hope you're all going to be with us
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: because it's going to be a lot of fun this Sunday.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I congratulate you both. I congratulate iHeart, obviously, WOR for
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: carrying the race. I like to go the day before
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: when they have the pasta run at Tavern on the
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Green because, you know, they want to carb up, carb up.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: And that's where they all come and assemble. So it
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: makes it easy for me. Hey, where you from? And
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you know me. I always like, where you from? Where
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: you from? Where you from? It is going to be great.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I hope they have the weather that we had this
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: past weekend. Starting on Friday where all of a sudden
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: they had the.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Apple foldable iPhone launch.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, everybody who was 30 years old and younger,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: they had foldable chairs. Never mind the first foldable smartphone.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: They had foldable chairs. They were out there early. The
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: lines were around the block. It was a weekend of lines. Saturday,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: all the Gen Z's were out and they were lining
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: up at the favorite food emporiums. For food that you
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: would say, why would you wait on line for an hour?
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: For food. Made no sense. And then yesterday, Larry and Natalie,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: probably the best of the three days, Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: just a gorgeous full day. I went and I watched
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the early voting on the lines. It was heavy. And
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I was stunned by the fact that when I would
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: question people– Not all that many knew who Bruce Blinken was.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: He didn't have anything negative to say about him, like
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: you would typically, oh, Republican, I hate him, and Trump.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: A lot of people didn't know who he was, which
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: seems to jive with the polls, because I've said, starting
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: on Labor Day, he's run an extremely good campaign. I
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: thought a better campaign than Zeldin, plus he's pro-choice. That
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: didn't resonate on the lines yesterday, but there were lines everywhere,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: no matter where you went.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I will tell you what, over the weekend, I
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: was just grim-puffed. So I went to my daughter's flag
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: football game. She was in a national tournament and they
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: almost won. They got to the championship, almost won. She
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: was interviewed for the first time.
• 4:33
  Speaker 8: Oh, really?
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: And he was interviewed, yeah, by Flag Football Magazine, which
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: I guess is only online. And then the best thing
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: ever about being a grandfather is the three little kids
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: dressing up for Halloween. And we went through a neighborhood
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: where all the businesses- you know, give out Halloween stuff. Oh, man,
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: it is the best ever. It is my middle child,
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: my middle grandchild, Lily, dressed up like Anne of Green Gables.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: She's 10. She's red, Anne of Green Gables at 10
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: years old.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Wow, you were busting your buttons and bridges with pride.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. No, they were all great. It was wonderful,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: all three of them. It was wonderful. Timmy was Darth Vader.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: You know, it was just... That's the whole, yeah, you know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: he's six and he's Darth Vader. And it was just,
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: it is exactly why you want to be a grandpa.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: It's so much better being a grandpa.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: And you know, you mentioned Halloween. Next Saturday night is
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the annual Greenwich Village Halloween Parade. I mean, tens of
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: thousands of people. That's last year. Remember a lot of
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: people dressed up like me. That's a little different than this, right?
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:42
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 5:43
  Speaker 8: Totally.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: But it's really– I feel for all the candidates running,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: both Democrats and Republicans and a few independents, because that's
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the last weekend before November 3rd.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: So the attention is going to be on the Greenwich
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Village Halloween Parade because– I mean, close to 100,000 people
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: in all different costumes. That's Saturday night. Then Sunday, the
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: New York City Marathon, which is an international extravaganza. So
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: if you're trying to get last-minute attention– You'd be lucky
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: if you make the cut on the nightly news. You know,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: it's tough. And I think everybody has to realize that
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: all of these candidates have been running for about a
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: year straight, around the clock. They've gone to all kinds
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: of events. They've had to put their personal lives on hold.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: It is not, as you know, Larry, covering a lot
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: of races as you have. It is not easy for
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the candidates and especially their families. So Whether they win
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: or lose, I congratulate them all and their volunteers and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: their staff because a lot of people decide not to
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: get involved in running for politics. That's one of the factors.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: I will tell you that you handled losing better than
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: I've ever seen of a candidate because I have a
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: lot of friends that have run for office. And it's
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: devastating when they lose to them. You don't even hear
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: from them for like a month or a month and
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: a half. They have to get over it. And I
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: asked somebody what it was because he lost in a
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: tough race for Congress. And I asked him, you know,
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: what hurts so much? Like, why do you remove yourself
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: from society for a while? And he says it is
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: the ultimate rejection.
• 7:24
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm so used to having been rejected.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, look at me.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Kicked out of a prestigious high school, Brooklyn Prep.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: One of the best.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Obviously rejected by quite a few women over the years.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Fired many times in radio that I've been doing for
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: 35 years. So after a while, you're like 72, you
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: realize I'm lucky to be where I am because of
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: all the rejection. So you just flow. And actually, the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: campaign turned out to be a very good thing for me.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Because many more people were exposed to who I was,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: what I do, what I've done in my whole life,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: especially those who were 30 and younger. We call them
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the Gen Zs. So you just can't be, you know,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: you can't crawl. into a hole and get very depressed,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: although I realize why many people would. They put everything
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: into it. They're like Bruce Blateman. All 62 counties. That's
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: a gargantuan task to go all throughout the state of
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: New York, whether it's Pennsylvania, the same thing, from Pittsburgh
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: to Philadelphia. That's a gargantuan task.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Imagine Texas. Texas, California, Florida. Yeah, California. Not so much
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: New Jersey.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: You know, from Camden on up to Hudson County, the
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: most corrupt county in America.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: The problem with New Jersey is they have no TV market.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: So you don't get the TV ads. If you do
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: get the TV ads, you've got to pay for them
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: in two markets, and they cost a fortune. So, yeah,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: Jersey's a little bit tougher than you think of.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I never thought about that because you have to pay
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: the Philly market for the South Jersey and up here
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: in New York for the Northern New Jersey— Crazy.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Super expensive. So, again, I know you all have your
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: favorite candidates out there. And so far, hate is going
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: to drive the vote for both sides. But when all
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: is said and done, you know, I congratulate all the candidates,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: their staff and their volunteers, because this is what democracy
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: is about.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: And it hurts when you lose. I mean, it really
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: does hurt. So remember that as well. These guys are.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: These guys are playing a part, an important part of
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: the process, win or lose.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: But remember, Tom Cuddy, our program director, picked me off
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the ground and said, you're better together. And all of
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: a sudden, I got joined with you on the best
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: talk radio station in New York City, 710 WR. So
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: how does it get any better than that after you
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: lose a mayoral race?
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we'd love to hear about the election. If you'd
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: like to talk about Curtis losing mayoral race, we'd love
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: to hear from you. If you just want to talk...
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: about politics and what you think is going to happen,
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: that's fine. What you did this weekend, you know, I'd
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: love to hear from the grandpas out there on how
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: wonderful it is. You know what it is? What being
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: a grandfather is? It is all the joy of being
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: a parent with no responsibilities. because you get to leave.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: When things go wrong, you go, what?
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: See you later.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Hope you can handle that.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: And can I put one thing in for Talkbacks this week?
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: If you know someone running the marathon, give us a
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: shout out. We'd love to hear about them because we're
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: going to be playing a team inspire feature during the week.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: And you're going to hear some people like it's incredible
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: why and how people run. So, and I know we
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: have audience members out there.
• 10:39
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: And you have a lot of people in those, in
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: those segments that have overcome things in their lives. And
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: it's amazing. They just overcame all the obstacles they had
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: and yet they can still run a marathon. God bless them.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: Go to the I heart radio app and leave us
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: a talk back. You could win a, Curtis Lee won
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Larry Menti in the morning t-shirt, which is going to
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: be awarded every day to our favorite talkback of the morning.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: And while you're on the free iHeartRadio app, just go
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: ahead and set a preset for 710WOR. And don't forget,
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: the best talkback of the week takes on the C-Crane radio.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Did you hear about this? A flight heading to New
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: Jersey from Las Vegas had to be turned around because
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: of a possible hijacker on board. Plus, you got a
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: chance to see comedian John Mulaney at 825. So over
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: the weekend, a flight just had taken off from Harry
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. It was a United
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: Airlines flight. It had 170 people on board. And right
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: after takeoff, as the flight attendant was going around saying
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: to everybody, make sure that you're strapped in and make
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: sure your seat's up, all of that. She noticed somebody texting,
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: and they were texting that they were going to hijack
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: the plane. So they notified the pilot right away, and
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: the pilot said, okay, we're going to turn around. We're
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: going to head back right now. And this is the
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: conversation that they were having with air traffic control. Oh,
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: and the passenger does not know anything is going on.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: The flight attendant.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Saw him texting.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: That he was going to hijack the aircraft.
• 12:29
  Speaker 11: They called me.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: We went locked down and we returned to Vegas.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: So no restraint.
• 12:34
  Speaker 11: Passenger's compliant because he's unaware.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so they locked down. They make sure the cockpit
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: was locked up. They didn't do anything else. They didn't
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: go after the potential hijacker or anything. They said that
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: he was completely unaware of what was going on. They
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: just said they were turning around because of some engine problems.
• 12:55
  Speaker 11: Negative.
• 12:57
  Speaker 12: We'll just be meeting law enforcement at the gate.
• 12:59
  Speaker 9: 1681, I see marshals coming out now.
• 13:03
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: He said, no, we're not going to do anything. We're
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: not going to restrain them. We'll just meet law enforcement
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: at the gate. And they arrested him when they got off.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: There's no word yet. They're still interrogating him. There's no
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: word yet where it was going to be an actual
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: hijacking or not. They also checked, by the way, just
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: so you're if you're thinking about this, how much fuel
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: he had. And he said, look, we had enough for
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: a five hour flight. I can turn around. I'll be fine.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: But how about that? Larry, you know what this reminds
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: me of? 2017, Bill de Blasio is running for reelection
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: and the libertarian candidate running against him, you know, third
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: party line. It was a guy named Aaron Comey who
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: in 2000 at the age of 22 had commandeered a
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Boeing 747 at JFK and was trying to hijack it
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: to either Antarctica or Argentina. They wouldn't let the plane leave.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: He was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and delusional disorder. but
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: was found not guilty by reason of insanity, but typical
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: of New York City, he got to run for mayor
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: of New York City. Now, is that not bizarre?
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: That's the weirdest thing I've ever heard of. That's unbelievable.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: And he got votes.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: And people knew who he was?
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Let's face it. It was the rage
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: of the news that he was a hijacker. Who was
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: found innocent by reason of insanity, who then ended up
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: running for mayor against comrade Bill de Blasio, the part-time
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: mayor that doped from Park Slope.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: That's amazing. Let's get some talkbacks. The politics is on
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: everybody's mind right now because we're getting so close to
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: the election and also early voting is going on right now.
• 14:46
  Speaker 14: Now there's an ad by Kathy Hochul who looks like
• 14:50
  Speaker 14: she's in a school and she has three so-called lunch
• 14:54
  Speaker 14: ladies and students sitting promoting her campaign. Now, if this
• 15:00
  Speaker 14: actually was recorded in a public school, it's very illegal,
• 15:04
  Speaker 14: because it's completely illegal to do that. And if it
• 15:07
  Speaker 14: was recorded in a private school, it's hypocritical and, well, unethical.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: You couldn't be more hopelessly correct. So I'm going to
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: do a deep dive on that. That's the one that's
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: running all the time now. She's surrounded by women, and children.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: And it looks like it's in the cafeteria of the
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: school and then in the assembly area. So I'll check
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: that out.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: Explain the law exactly, because I've been in schools recording many,
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: many times in my life for the news. And although
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: you can't show children and all that kind of stuff,
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: you're allowed to shoot in the school. Is it just
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: for a political ad you can't do it?
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I believe so. She shows all the children's faces, you know,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: typical of the Democrat and all Oh, the collage of
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: all the different races and ethnic groups and a variety
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: of women.
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: Not one guy.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Because she knows her pathway to victory is the female vote.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to think. I think I'm almost positive I've
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: seen ads. Maybe not in New York, but I've seen
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: ads across the country that have been filmed in schools
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: or a set that looks like a school.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Right. And now that may be true also. Yeah.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: We'll find out. Yeah, that's really interesting because I had never,
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: ever heard of that. I've never heard of any restrictions
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: about shooting in the school, but I don't know all
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: the state laws about politics. I know.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: They kicked me out of a lot of schools. Oh,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: you can't come in here and do any campaigning.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: Oh, is that right?
• 16:34
  Speaker 15: Oh, yeah.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Are you campaigning to the fifth graders?
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. And then also on the day of votes.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: Well, I was desperate. We know why you lost now.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: I was desperate.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: No, they're mommies and daddies. You know, hey, take this
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: home to mommy and daddy. Take this home to mommy
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: and daddy. Vote Sliwa.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: That's.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: That's an interesting campaign tactic.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's why I lost.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: I don't know. Some man in dressed in all red
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: gave me this. He was an odd old man that
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: told me to give me this. Exactly.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: You know, they probably thought it was Santa Claus dressed
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: in all red.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, let's get the news at 630 with Daria Albinger.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Daria.
• 17:16
  Speaker 10: Morning, guys.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Mostly sunny and milder today. We'll see a high of
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: 66 degrees.
• 17:21
  Speaker 16: The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York has agreed to
• 17:23
  Speaker 16: pay $ 800 million to settle over 1,000 sexual abuse lawsuits.
• 17:30
  Speaker 11: The money will settle claims from 1,300 people who say
• 17:34
  Speaker 11: they were sexually abused by Roman Catholic lay leaders and
• 17:37
  Speaker 11: clergy members. The settlement would allow the plaintiffs to either
• 17:40
  Speaker 11: receive a lump sum payment of at least $ 250, 000 or
• 17:45
  Speaker 11: a potentially larger amount after a review of how much
• 17:48
  Speaker 11: abuse they suffered. The deal won't be final until all
• 17:51
  Speaker 11: parties sign the settlement, which is set to happen next month.
• 17:55
  Speaker 11: Jonathan O'Halloran, WOR News.
• 17:57
  Speaker 16: Search continues for a man. Police say sexually assaulted a
• 18:00
  Speaker 16: woman over the weekend in Central Park. They say it
• 18:02
  Speaker 16: happened near the intersection of East 66th Street, Fifth Avenue,
• 18:05
  Speaker 16: Saturday night, and that the victim says she was threatened
• 18:08
  Speaker 16: at knife point. It's the fifth sexual assault in the
• 18:11
  Speaker 16: park this year. Police in Belleville, New Jersey, are looking
• 18:14
  Speaker 16: into a hit-and-run incident involving a police officer last night.
• 18:17
  Speaker 16: They say the officer was trying to arrest a suspect
• 18:20
  Speaker 16: near Branch Brook Park when the suspect struck the officer
• 18:23
  Speaker 16: and fled. Police fired on the suspect. It is not known, though,
• 18:26
  Speaker 16: if he was hit. Hundreds of Trump supporters lined up
• 18:29
  Speaker 16: early yesterday to see the president speak at a rally
• 18:32
  Speaker 16: in Port Huron in the battleground state of Michigan.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: President Trump is the best.
• 18:38
  Speaker 17: President we've had.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: At least in my lifetime.
• 18:43
  Speaker 16: The president will campaign today in Mississippi with eight days
• 18:46
  Speaker 16: to go to the midterms. And the Fed's Open Market Committee,
• 18:49
  Speaker 16: which sets interest rates, will meet this week. It's expected
• 18:51
  Speaker 16: to leave them unchanged ahead of the elections. The Giants win,
• 18:55
  Speaker 16: the Jets, the Knicks, the Nets, and the Islanders all lost.
• 18:58
  Speaker 16: Next news, 7 o'clock, bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger
• 19:02
  Speaker 16: on 710WOR.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: Thanks, Daria. Well, Minnesota has weird politics. This Ilhan Omar story,
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: the congresswoman is getting stranger and stranger. Remember that apparently
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: they changed her age to get her into the country.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: Then she allegedly married her brother. Now we're finding out
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: that Ilhan Omar may not be her real name. Donald
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: Trump wants her out of Congress. We'll talk about it
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: all when we come back. Is this Ilhan Omar's story?
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: The congresswoman from Minnesota just keeps getting more bizarre and
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: more bizarre. There are so many allegations now piling up.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: Against her it's getting to the point where you have
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: to just pick one of them remember very early on
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: the biggest controversy was the fact that she lied in
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: her congressional forms about how much she was worth everybody
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: looked at it at first and said 250 million dollars
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: how did you get 250 million dollars and she went
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: whoops that was a mistake That was a mistake. She
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: was claiming that her husband's winery was worth that much.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: But you see, putting that down on paper is fraud.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: And there were already allegations that the whole winery was
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: fraudulent and that they were hiding money there from many
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: of the scams like the Medicare scams in the Somali
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: community there. There are reports that vats of this wine
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: were sent around the country and that the vats were empty.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: And so she changed it. It was no longer $ 25 million.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: It was a few hundred thousand. That was her worth.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: So it started there.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: But, I mean, we have so many other things that
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: are going on as well about her allegedly marrying her
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: brother because she wanted to get him into the country,
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: changing her name. And her age, so that she could
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: get into the country and then run for office. The
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: thing about her marrying her brother, she's doing very few
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: interviews right now. And I think she's doing very few
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: interviews because she doesn't want to add to the case
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: against her. But on MS Now, which I guess she
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: assumed is safe ground, she did an interview and they
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: asked her. They asked her about marrying her brother. The
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: answer tells you everything. Who was this man that was
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: your husband?
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: When did they start saying that he was your brother?
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: Why?
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: You are not related to him at all.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Not that.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: There's not some weird kernel of truth. Not to my knowledge.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Not to my knowledge was her answer. Not to my knowledge.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: That's a legal answer.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: That's parsing your language.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: Well, that's an attorney probably told her. If anybody asked
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: you that question. This is going to be your answer because, man,
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: and now they're saying that her name isn't Ilhan Omar.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: They have her birth certificate, and her name's not Ilhan Omar.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: It is– where is it?
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: It is a much longer name, Ilhan Nursayed Elmi. So
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: Ilhan is her first name.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Can you say that 10 times fast?
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: Ilhan Nursayed Elmi. It's almost like Elmo at the end.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Now, what would establish this, right?
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: It always is.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: The official birth certificate. I lost it. You know, the
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: dog ate it. You know, there's always an excuse. Now,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: I understand the birth certificate was in war-torn Somalia.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: Possibilities.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Not like here, where everything is kept on file by
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: a clerk. But still, what a convenient excuse. I lost
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: my birth certificate. So, I mean, what a conundrum. This
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: just gets better and better as it goes on. And
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: notice how Barack Obama decided he was going to jump in,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: you know, as her valiant guardian and came to her support.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Because right now it's getting very personal between him and Trump.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: So whatever Trump attacks... Somehow, Barack Obama has a knee-jerk
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: reaction to defend that person, even though I would have
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: advised him, stay away from this. I would have even
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: told the squad there, stay away from this. I mean,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: my God, this is bad news for her.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: You're right. You're exactly right. And the fact that she said,
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: not to my knowledge, was the first time you heard
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: a break in the armor.
• 23:30
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: Because before that, she was doing pretty well in saying
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: they're just coming after me. She was fundraising off of this. Oh, yeah.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: And making a lot of money.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Remember in the car, she did that appeal. They're trying
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: to destroy me. I'm Joan of Arc against all.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: Please, lady, give me a break. And she was making
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: money the first time even the Democrats, even the people
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: on MSNOW were going, whoa, wait a second, was when
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: she said, not to my knowledge. because that is obviously
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: something an attorney told her to say, which tells you
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: there must be some truth there and that she's looking
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: at all her legal options right now because she knows
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: that the feds are coming after her for all of
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: these things. Donald Trump just is saying you should quit.
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: But because Ilan used a fake name to be sworn in,
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: I assume that she must immediately resign from Congress.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: That's not going to happen. Of course not. And the
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: president will pound away on that because in Minnesota, that
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: is a vulnerability for the Democrats who surround her and
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: give her tactical air support. Because the biggest issue that
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: may elect, imagine a Republican senator there, the woman who
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: used to do ESPN, a very good candidate against the
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: lieutenant governor, who naturally was attached to tampon Tim, the governor,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: with the corruption. is that there are people who are
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: saying now, my God, it's systemic.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: It's everywhere.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: And it's especially in that first congressional district, which is
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: now comprised mostly of Somalian Americans and a lot of
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: illegals there who were there from Somalia. So a vulnerability.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Let me just mention that district when I was there
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: before the lockdown and pandemic, The congressman was Keith Ellison,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: who's now the attorney general, who should be thrown out
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: of office. He hasn't investigated any of the corruption, which
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: is what attorney generals are supposed to do. He was
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: there from 2007 to 2019. He was an avowed member
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: of the black Muslims, the Nation of Islam, and a
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: supporter of screwy Louis Farrakhan. And they elected him. Yeah,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: no problem electing him.
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: By the way, the race you were talking about is
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: Michelle LaFoya. She is the one that's surprising everyone. You know,
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: people haven't been talking about that race as much as
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: they should be because she's running for Senate. That would
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: be a Republican pickup. If she were able to beat
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, everything else is off the table.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, the Republicans will keep the Senate if she
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: is able to win that race. Now, You know, it
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: is like Charlie Brown's football in many states. It looks
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: like somebody is going to win and then it gets
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: pulled away from them at the last minute.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: There's two points against Flanagan, the lieutenant governor. A, obviously,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: she said nothing about the corruption like all the Democrats,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: including Amy Klobuchar, who stepped down from the Senate to
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: run for governor. She'll probably win that against a great
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: African-American woman. GOP candidate, by the way, was Speaker of
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: the Legislature. Really stellar. So she'll have a career if
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: she loses in the future there. But this woman, the Republican,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: the ESPN woman, an outstanding candidate. I've watched her answer questions.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: She's very good on her feet. The Lieutenant Governor is
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: stuttering and puttering and wearing a tranny. Tranny shirt, she said. Yeah,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: all tranny lives... I guess she hasn't gotten the memos
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: that Democrats, you need to stay, you know, stay away
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: from the cultural issues, the transgender issues, because even in Minnesota,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: most people in Minnesota are not in favor of males,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: anatomical males playing as women against women. Yeah.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: And the backdrop to every one of the races, and
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: you said this well, the backdrop to every one of
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: those races is the scandal that continues. They're still doing investigations.
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: There's still They're still arresting people, the welfare and Medicaid
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: fraud throughout the state, which totaled into the billions of dollars.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: And I guess the biggest question for anybody that was
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: in office is who knew what and when. And she's
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: been awful.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Think of it. Tampon Tim, right? Who ran for vice
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: president with Giggles Harris? stepped down, said, I'm not running
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: for re-election. He knows how bad the corruption was. He said, yeah,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I should have been more aware of it. What do
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: you mean you should have been more aware of it?
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: What about your lieutenant governor? And more importantly, the attorney
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: general who has the investigative powers, Keith Ellison, who said
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: nothing about it.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: Well, Keith Ellison might go to jail because Keith Ellison,
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: they have on tape, taking money or being told that
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: this is why we gave you money. So he might
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: end up going to jail. This is going to be
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: a huge investigation. But more importantly, it is going to
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: play a major role in this midterm election.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Now watch Keith. This is what Keith Ellison is going
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: to do. He's going to put on a Minnesota Vikings jersey,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: the purple jersey, because they're the only undefeated NFL team,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: you know, in existence. He'll say, oh, Vikings, Vikings, purple people,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: anything to distract.
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: You know how politicians are, Larry. Yeah, but I don't
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: know if this one's going to go away because the
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: feds are after it. We'll see.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Up next, what a race in Brazil between Lula and Bolsonaro.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: It's really, one was pro-Trump, one was anti-Trump. But the
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: question here is, how come Brazil has an election on
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: one day and they get their results that same night
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: like France and we don't?
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: Listen, as somebody who has spent a career reporting the news,
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: I know how quickly an ordinary moment can turn into
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: an emergency. Choking is one of those moments. It can
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: happen to anyone, a child, a grandparent, a parent. And
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: I've told you to go to Google to find out
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: how important it is to have an apparatus nearby like LifeVac.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: LifeVac is a life-saving device, and it saved lives over
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: and over again. Mary sent me an email recently and said,
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: I had no idea, because you can find story after
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: story on Google across the country of lives that are saved, because,
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: like I said a moment ago, an ordinary moment can
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: turn into a possible tragedy. LifeVac is the first and
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: only FDA authorized suction anti-choking device to be used for
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: second line treatment when recommended choking protocols have been followed
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: without success. LifeVac has saved 6,500 lives worldwide and counting.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: We're talking about real people, real families, real second chances.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: Preparedness matters. Having the right tool nearby can make all
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: the difference in the world. So learn more about LifeVac
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: today at LifeVac.net. You need to have one in your home.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: That's LifeVac.net. Visit LifeVac.net and see how you can be
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: ready the next time it counts.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Ah, I just love Brazil. I have guardian angels in
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Rio de Janeiro. So I'm very close to what were
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: the defining issues that allowed the 80-year-old president, Lula... to
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: barely win against the son of Bolsonaro, who's doing 27
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: years because they charged him with doing a J6 after
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: the last election, which was neck and neck between him
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: and Lula. Now, the reason I'm bringing this up also, Larry,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: is that the United States, we had about, what, 154
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: million people who voted the last time around? They had
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: 128 million. Brazil is a huge country. A lot of people,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: they look at the map and they say, well, it's
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: not quite as big as the United States, but they
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: get more people who are voting because you have to vote. Now,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: they don't do anything to you, but it's required. So
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: they get about 80% turnout. And the most incredible thing,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: it's all in one day. No mail-in ballots, no early voting.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: One day, early, 8 in the morning till 8 p.m.,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: all electronic machines, and they have a winner by 12 midnight. Now,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: this election, they had an extra two hours. They had
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: torrential rains and actually mass transit was stymied. Both sides agreed. Yeah,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: let's have the extra two hours.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: Larry.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Within one day, they have a winner. Now, let's look
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: at France, right? France, the same thing. You know, they
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: have two levels of voting. They end up with the
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: final two, just like Brazil. One day of voting, it's
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: all paper ballots, all hand-counted. They have a winner by
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: 12 midnight. And there, it's like they have 50 million voters,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: about 65% who vote.
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: It's not required. It's like the United States.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: And you say to yourself, these are two big countries,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: two thriving democracies, and yet we sometimes don't get results.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: What, eight weeks later? Well, you know, it's funny that
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: you say that. Well, first of all, let me add
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: Indonesia to that. That is the biggest of those countries
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: with 192 million votes, and they get all the results
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: the same night. But when you first talked about this topic,
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: I went and looked it up, and I thought, what's
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: the longest? How long do we have to wait? Let
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: me go through some of this. It's not as bad
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: as you would think it is. And think about it.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: Our elections are different than their elections because ours are
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: decentralized because our Constitution gives the power of election to
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: the states. So we have to get state after state
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: after state after state after state. There's no central election night.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: You know, it all comes from the states. But listen
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: to this. In 2024, Donald Trump, Wednesday morning at 535 a.m.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: So it was the next day. In 2020, it was
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: four days later, but that was COVID-19. 2016, around 2.30
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: in the morning. 2012, before midnight. 2008, around 11 o'clock
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: on election night. 2004, the morning after. Now, here is
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: the outlier on the whole thing. 2035 days later, that
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: was the hanging chads in Florida and the recount in Florida.
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: But it's, you know, I'm surprised at this. I looked
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: it up just because I knew we were going to
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: do it. It's really not that bad.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but this is now with early voting. This is
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: with mail-in ballots, absentee ballots. You can fill out an
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: affidavit if they don't have your name at the polling location.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: They don't have any of that in Brazil and in France.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: It's much more efficient and effective. But it's kind of
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: amazing how quickly we get the results in. I mean,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that. When you were first talking about it,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: I thought to myself, yeah, I wonder why we don't.
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: Let me see. It hasn't been that bad. It's usually
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: by the next morning.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Well, if California, which is almost the size of France,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: France has... You know, it's a large country, but California
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: has 40 million people, about 25 million registered. It takes
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: seven days, right, for the mail-in ballots to be received
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: after the election. And it could take up to 30
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: days for the count to be finished. Now, just assume
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: California was like half and half.
• 34:55
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: It's not.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: We'd be waiting like an extra month just for California,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: the largest state with all those ballots.
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: Well, I will say this. We're just talking about the
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: presidential election. And apparently for the last couple of decades,
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: that has happened pretty quickly, except for the one that
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: had to go to court. Other than that, congressional elections
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: and Senate elections, they sometimes will go on for days
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: and days and days.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: And let me mention why Lula won, even though he
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: lost the first round. He bribed the electorate like I've
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: never heard a bribe, and there's always bribes. It is
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: the sixth day of mandatory work in Brazil. But my God,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: their idea of mandatory work is like the French idea
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: of mandatory work. He canceled Saturday work, and he paid everybody.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: He said, you get paid on Saturday for not showing up.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Tell me that didn't get the vote. That was an
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: out-and-out bribe.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: But I'm glad you brought this up because I'm looking
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: at this. We do pretty well. Our country does really
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: well when it comes to the presidential election. I didn't
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: know that until you told me that we have a problem.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: And I found out, no, we don't. We don't have
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: that big of a problem.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Anyway, up next, the real battle here was Obama for
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: El-Said and Trump for Mike Rogers. The two superstars of
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: the Democrat and Republican Party were clashing after the 7
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: o'clock news.
• 36:18
  Speaker 19: A front.
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: Well, Curtis, early voting across the country is setting records
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: in some places. Texas is up 75%. Kansas, it's double.
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: In New York State, up 75,000 from four years ago.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: In New Jersey, up 38%. Now, here's the bad story,
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: except you can't read too much in New Jersey because
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: it's becoming more and more of a Democratic state. It
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: looked like it might go purple there for a while,
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: but no, no, no, it's headed back the other way.
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: And Curtis brought up a good point. It's because a
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: lot of New Yorkers are moving to there, especially from
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: New York City. But two to one so far, Democrats
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: over Republicans in New Jersey. So it's not really looking
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: good for Tom Kaine Jr. He already had all of
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: the money pulled. And you see Campbell putting up ad
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: after ad after ad after ad, and he's not able
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: to fight back right now because it seems like the
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: Republicans may have given up on that race. So bad
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: news for Republicans running in New Jersey right now because
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: Democrats are outpacing them, at least in the early voting,
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: two to one. But now let's talk about some of
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: the races across the country, because as I said, there's
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: some big ones. The ones that are getting a lot
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: of attention, of course, is Ohio, between Amy Acton and
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: Vivek Ramaswamy. She came out, remember after that ad that
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: featured her mother saying that she was a liar? These
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: are parents that she was sexually abused by the stepfather
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: of And now for the mother to come out and
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: say that she's a liar and she can't be trusted. Well,
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: she was on some of the national shows over the
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: weekend talking about it.
• 38:13
  Speaker 20: My mother was not well as a child. My brother
• 38:16
  Speaker 20: and I, from the age of three for me and
• 38:18
  Speaker 20: when my brother was born, went through extreme child abuse
• 38:23
  Speaker 20: and neglect. We were frequent flyers in children's services. This
• 38:27
  Speaker 20: went on for years, even well before she married my stepfather.
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: She really has not talked about that in this campaign,
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: but she said she was forced to because.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Of that ad.
• 38:41
  Speaker 20: For those out there going through it now, hold on. Please,
• 38:45
  Speaker 20: if there's someone you feel safe with, say something about it.
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, Curtis, you know, I know I
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: don't want to talk too much about the politics of
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: this because it seems like she had the hell of
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: a childhood, especially her brother had a hell of a childhood.
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: But the fact that he ran this ad and her
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: counterpunch was to come out and finally start talking about it,
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: that's going to have a huge effect on the Ohio election.
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: And I think that Acton may have just won it
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: after that ad. I wasn't sure the ad itself was
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: going to do it, but her coming out and responding
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: on TV station after TV station after TV station is
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: pretty darn strong.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and Vivek is just not a likable. guy. You know,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: I've watched how he's handled this. You know, he's got
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: that strange hairdo. Sort of like that guy in the
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: Fox News channel who used to be the congressman from
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: South Carolina, Trey Gowdy. You know, weird hairdo. and highly
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: defensive and angry in a sudden, that's not really what
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: you want to take in a race that you may
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: be behind his Lieutenant governor, though, much smarter, uh, his candidate,
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Vivek's candidate said, Oh no, we say prayers for her
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: and what her family went through. And he, he's even
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: distancing himself from it. Now that's your running mate. I
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: was happy to see that the president has stopped talking
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: about it. Cause I really think, uh, It doesn't do
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Republicans well in other places, especially where women are running,
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: you know, for high office, the U.S. Senate, and then
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: they have to answer for that. And we'll see if
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: the key issues now prevail. And in Ohio, unlike most
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: other states, one of the big issues is something we
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: focused on, artificial intelligence data filing centers. It's one of
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: the big issues in that state. It isn't a big
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: issue in a lot of states, but it will be
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: now up to the voters. He's got eight days, Vivek.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: I don't think he can pull it out. He's got, remember,
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: you got the Senate race hustled. We'll be talking about
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Trump's fascination with his Tuchus and also Menage a Trois,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: who was with him in Huron, Michigan, yesterday, coming up.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: But he's in a tough race. He's the sitting senator
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: who replaced J.D. Vance. And the story you brought to
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: our attention, in which Senator Moreno publicly disparaged the Republican candidate,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: the congressman, who had had a lot of problems with
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: his daughter, a lot of charges, and he insisted on
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: staying in the race. So Ohio has gone from a
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: race that should have been a slam dunk for Republicans,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: and now it's starting to look more and more like
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: the Democrats may sweep a lot of the elected positions.
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: Here's something really fascinating. In the Alaska race, the Dan
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: Sullivan is running for re-election and is in a tough race.
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: The Justice Department is now investigating how exactly the other
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: Dan Sullivan got on the ballot. And the fear is
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: they're taking this extremely seriously right now. The president keeps
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: talking about Alaska. Now they're investigating to see if this
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: was manipulated by the Democratic Party and that there might
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: be charges on this and the results of the election
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: may be called into question. But Donald Trump, in every
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: campaign appearance, has talked about Alaska, and he's stepped it up.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: We have a man named Dan Sullivan. So the Democrats
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: may be here.
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: They're not so dumb.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: They put another man also with the name of Dan Sullivan.
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: So we have two Dan Sullivans. How about that? Yeah.
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: And Blanche says, listen, if this is fraud, it's fraud.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: You know, you can't go ahead and do that if
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: your intent is just to throw the election to one side.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: Well, what a lot of people don't realize is that
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: Alaska has ranked choice voting, not just in the primaries,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: but in the general election. So you can imagine. Dan Sullivan,
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: the senator, Republican senator, number one. Dan Sullivan, who apparently
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: was a resident out of state and suddenly decided to
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: move to Alaska and, you know, put on the Eskimo shoes.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: Can I say Eskimo? Is that considered politically incorrect?
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: I think that's fine. They're actually Eskimos.
• 43:03
  Speaker 21: Right.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: But the point being is, remember, he sort of like
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden moved there. Suddenly he determined, I
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: think he was living in Arizona. He wanted to live
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: in Alaska. But because of ranked choice voting, you don't
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: have to do ranked choice. You can just pick one.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: But a lot of people do. They love to play
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: the bingo card. He'll end up getting possibly enough votes
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: to impact on the present senator, Dan Sullivan, the real Sullivan,
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: running in this race so that the Democrat could easily win. Now,
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: she's ahead in the polls.
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: Not by a lot. Not by a lot. And you're right.
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: This could affect the election. That's why they're taking it
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: so seriously. Todd Blench, the attorney general, had to defend
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: the fact that he has gotten involved. It's not only
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: the president that's saying that.
• 43:49
  Speaker 22: It's the director of the Alaskan election process who has
• 43:53
  Speaker 22: said that the second Dan Sullivan is going to create confusion,
• 43:57
  Speaker 22: is not a real candidate, and is on the ballot
• 44:00
  Speaker 22: only to pull votes from the incumbent. So the real
• 44:03
  Speaker 22: question is, that Americans should be asking is not what
• 44:06
  Speaker 22: you just opened on, but how as a country, how
• 44:09
  Speaker 22: as Alaskans are we allowing this to happen?
• 44:12
  Speaker 18: Right.
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's a big deal. I mean, if it
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: were to happen there, it can happen everywhere. He's raised
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: no money and he's campaigned nowhere. And of course, the
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: other big race is the one in Michigan. And Donald Trump,
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: of course, kept talking about El-Sayed. I'm here to keep a.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: jihadist Muslim Brotherhood member from becoming a United States Senator.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: And that's the fact. Yeah. Listen, I think this Muslim
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: Brotherhood thing has really caught on. You can see he's
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: getting very testy about it. He went after them on
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: Fox News for even bringing it up and then wouldn't
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: let Bret Baier talk. He just kept interrupting them saying,
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: I'm not talking about this anymore. I'm not talking about
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: this anymore. That's a bad way to handle it.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: Well, the one thing he's doing, he's going into places
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: where he would never have gotten any votes. As we said,
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: the upper peninsula, you aptly described, he was wearing a
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: cowboy hat with the red, white, and blue, the American flag.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: belt buckle. He was, you know, he had the jeans on.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: He was singing country western songs. And then over the weekend, Saturday,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: Michigan lost to last year's winner of the NCAA championship,
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: Indiana 13-6. He originally said that American football could be
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: considered unethical and unsafe. There he was, cheering on Michigan,
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: high-fiving the band. I'm telling you, these politicians, whatever edge
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: they have, even if they don't believe in it, man,
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: they're into it, especially with eight days left.
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: But the biggest thing that had happened in Michigan for
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: El-Sayed was the fact that they brought in the heavyweight
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: slugger Barack Obama, who had a wonderful shot. I have
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: to admit, this is a great shot against Donald Trump
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: and his renovations on the White House. What's up with
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: the gold? I mean, he's got the White House looking
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: like Saddam Hussein opened a cheesecake factory. It's just gold everywhere.
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: He was there really trying to push for El-Sayed. People
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: are so ready for something new, so hungry for something better,
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: so sick and tired of being sick.
• 46:30
  Speaker 11: And tired that everywhere you go, it feels like change
• 46:34
  Speaker 11: is in the air.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: And Michigan, that's what I'm feeling right now. Wow, there
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: is nobody better for the Democrats than Barack Obama. He's smooth.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: There's nobody better for the Republicans than Donald Trump. They're
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: the superstars of their party. And imagine, here it is,
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: Obama in Detroit to get out the black vote, which
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: is questionable. Mike Rogers is living in every black community
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: in Detroit, which is majority black.
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: They are 12% of the overall vote.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: And then here's Donald Trump up in Huron, which is
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: only 60 miles away, you know, mostly white, working middle class.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: And he's, as you aptly pointed out, saying that El-Said
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: is Muslim Brotherhood, communist, socialist, jihadist. He's throwing everything at El-Said.
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you what, John Husted apparently has a
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: really nice butt. And the reason I know that, he's
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: the Republican senator from Ohio, is because Donald Trump pointed
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: that out. And he's not done yet. He talked about
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: it during one of his campaign appearances over the weekend
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: and then went on from there. I looked at his ass,
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: and I've never done that with a man before, it's true.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Off the record, women, yes, men, no, okay?
• 47:58
  Speaker 9: By the way, I looked at one hell of a
• 48:00
  Speaker 9: beautiful ass before, Nicki Minaj.
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: That's hard to miss.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: That's stand-up. That's hard to miss.
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: You know nikki minaj was there and stood up and
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: what was his wife there no no well you can
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: admire other people's physical traits.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: You usually keep it to yourself that's what i'm gonna
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: say actually my wife notices more than i do she'll
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: say look at that ass on that.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: Woman so now look Remember Bush 41 got in trouble
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: in his latter years when he was in the wheelchair.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: You know, he was obviously physically impaired. But he kept
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: grabbing female tuchus and dupa. Remember how many went, you
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: can't go near the former president. He's grabbing butt. But
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: in this case, Nicki Minaj, I call her Nicki Minaj-a-toise.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: from Trinidad and Tobago originally, TNT, obviously a real good looker,
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: very key as part of an attempt to get black
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: votes for Mike Rogers versus El Saeed. She was up
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: in Huron, obviously well-received by the crowd. You can't disagree
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: with that. She's known for her posterior. And the president
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: has finally pirouetted out of them. They did a pivot
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: and switched. Because John Husted, you know, aside from the
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: fact that the president admired his Tuchus' stupa, It's quite
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: a story. You know, he replaced J.D. Vance, who had
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: a tough upbringing. You know, Hillbilly Elegy described that. John Husted,
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: who's now the Republican Senate, was born in Detroit. His
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: biological mother and biological father gave him up. Yeah. for
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: foster care, and then eventually he was adopted by a
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: couple in Ohio. He played for the University of Dayton
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: Flyers on their NCAA Division III championship, and that's what
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: the president admires.
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no. What he admired was his butt.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: So let me ask you a question.
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: They don't make songs like they used to.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: Right, but with eight days to go, and the president
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: obviously talking about Tuchus. Wouldn't this be more appropriate than
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: the village people, YMCA? Yeah.
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah. You know what? YMCA is gone. What happened to YMCA?
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: We're not hearing it at his rallies anymore. That's really interesting.
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: Not as much.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: He still does that little.
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but we're not hearing the music. This would be perfect. Yeah.
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: I like big butts. That'd be tremendous. The crowd would
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: go wild. Yes, absolutely.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: So would he.
• 50:49
  Speaker 4: I think he'd play along with it.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: Plus, it would take away from what appeared to be
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: a homoerotic fascination.
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: Oh, nobody fought that. Oh, I did. You did. You're
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: the only one.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: Fuck, he's 80 years old. He was going through what
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: Bush 41 went through.
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: No, he's pretty well known as a man that likes women.
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: Now let's get some talkbacks.
• 51:11
  Speaker 18: This message is directed towards Curtis primarily, but also to Larry. Curtis,
• 51:16
  Speaker 18: not that I'm glad you lost the election. If I
• 51:19
  Speaker 18: were a New York resident, I would have voted for
• 51:22
  Speaker 18: you for sure. I'm over in Bergen County, New Jersey. However,
• 51:26
  Speaker 18: what your losing did for me, where I benefited, is
• 51:30
  Speaker 18: I can now listen to you and Larry as the
• 51:34
  Speaker 18: best consummated team on radio.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: That was so good. Can we make that a promo?
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: Larry's on the floor.
• 51:44
  Speaker 13: Larry.
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: This was never consummated.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: Yes, it was. Can't change things.
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: We got to come up with a different word, please.
• 51:53
  Speaker 21: It's over.
• 51:53
  Speaker 18: There.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: Look, we're now finding out about Lindsey Graham. It's okay.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: Everybody out of the closet. Natalie, could you please have
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: a conversation with Tom Cuddy? That should be a promo. No. No.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: That should be a promo.
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: Unless you bleep it. There's one offensive word in that.
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: Let's get another talk back.
• 52:13
  Speaker 17: This Ilhan Omar definitely married her brother because if she didn't,
• 52:17
  Speaker 17: she would just say, hey, take a DNA sample. Let's
• 52:19
  Speaker 17: put this to rest. She absolutely is guilty. And how
• 52:22
  Speaker 17: is she a congressperson without a birth certificate?
• 52:25
  Speaker 4: That's crazy. Didn't she have kids with her brother, too?
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: I believe she had a couple of kids with her brother.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: Interesting. To the DNA.
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: Calling up Salt Lake City Church of the Latter Day Saints.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: We've got some serious DNA testing here.
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: We got to get that Troy Jackson ad out again
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: and for Elon Omar.
• 52:46
  Speaker 23: Can you look into the correlation between those that have
• 52:50
  Speaker 23: had brain damage and those that are Democrats? I can't
• 52:54
  Speaker 23: see why anyone would vote Democrat with today's Democrat Party.
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think you need to have an investigation.
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: I think it's self-evident.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: Well, look, Democrats have a lot of younger candidates now
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: who are eliciting a lot of support. Not too many
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: young Republican candidates out there. Maybe they better start looking
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: at a new generation.
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: We'll see how they do. We'll see how they do.
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: Telerico's going to lose. El-Sayed's going to lose. But not
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: Daria Albinger, who's waiting patiently to do the 730 News. Daria. Thanks.
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that, Larry.
• 53:27
  Speaker 16: Mostly sunny and milder with a high of 66 degrees.
• 53:32
  Speaker 16: Once again, police are looking for a suspect in connection
• 53:35
  Speaker 16: with a sexual assault in Central Park. They say it
• 53:38
  Speaker 16: happened Saturday night at the entrance at 66th Street and
• 53:43
  Speaker 16: 5th Avenue. The victim says the suspect had threatened her
• 53:46
  Speaker 16: at knife point. This, by the way, is the fifth
• 53:48
  Speaker 16: such attack in the park so far this year. Manhattan
• 53:51
  Speaker 16: Borough President Brad Hoylman Siegel says he has just begun
• 53:55
  Speaker 16: to fight against that giant billboard that is proposed for
• 53:58
  Speaker 16: Herald Square.
• 53:59
  Speaker 24: A four-story high LED billboard is being floated for a
• 54:02
  Speaker 24: building across from the Macy's in Midtown. The developer claims
• 54:06
  Speaker 24: it will help revive a struggling retail corridor while local
• 54:09
  Speaker 24: residents are concerned about potential light pollution. Current zoning restrictions
• 54:14
  Speaker 24: limit advertisements to 40 feet above street level. But this
• 54:17
  Speaker 24: new planned display would be 60 feet above ground level
• 54:21
  Speaker 24: and right next to a residential building with over 690 units.
• 54:25
  Speaker 24: Hoylman Siegel is urging the city's zoning board to reject
• 54:29
  Speaker 24: the changes being sought by the developer. I'm Lizzie Radabali,
• 54:32
  Speaker 24: WOR News.
• 54:33
  Speaker 16: Production on the film Miami Vice 85, which has been
• 54:36
  Speaker 16: underway in Brooklyn recently, was briefly stopped over the weekend
• 54:39
  Speaker 16: when a man threatened a crew member with a butcher knife.
• 54:42
  Speaker 16: Police say the suspect, Alex Perez, is in custody. The
• 54:45
  Speaker 16: Fed's Open Market Committee, which sets interest rates, is going
• 54:48
  Speaker 16: to meet this week. They are expected to leave them
• 54:51
  Speaker 16: unchanged ahead of the midterms.
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: It's no trick. Those Halloween treats cost more this year.
• 54:57
  Speaker 8: Analysts say high prices are a big reason for a
• 55:00
  Speaker 8: drop in Halloween candy sales. So far this year, they're
• 55:03
  Speaker 8: down about 7% compared to last year. Bad weather in
• 55:07
  Speaker 8: the cocoa-producing parts of the world is one factor for
• 55:10
  Speaker 8: higher chocolate prices. Candy prices are up 45% in the
• 55:14
  Speaker 8: last five years.
• 55:15
  Speaker 16: ABC's Sophie Flay, the Giants won, and it goes downhill
• 55:18
  Speaker 16: after that. The Jets, the Knicks, the Nets, and the
• 55:21
  Speaker 16: Islanders all lost. Next news, 8 o'clock, bulletins at once.
• 55:24
  Speaker 16: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, the great Warner Wolf up next. Giants, yeah.
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: Jet snow.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: Warner Wolf, I never saw this with all the football
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: I ever watched. At the end of the Giant game
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: that they won, they tackled Harbaugh. The coach, they tackled
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: him to the ground. He's on the ground. Have you
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: ever seen that before?
• 55:50
  Speaker 9: No, I never saw him tackle. Everybody's seen the Gatorade
• 55:54
  Speaker 9: over the head. Or carry him off. I've never seen him.
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: Tackle.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: Boy, they were excited. Did they have reason to be excited?
• 56:04
  Speaker 9: Oh, man. You know, here we get winning on the
• 56:07
  Speaker 9: last play of the game again. What an exciting team.
• 56:11
  Speaker 9: I'll tell you what, Chris. Three stories from the game.
• 56:14
  Speaker 9: Number one, the return of Cam Scataboo. Back from the dead,
• 56:19
  Speaker 9: out of the doghouse, 124 yards and 17 carries. Story
• 56:25
  Speaker 9: number two, 6'4, 230-pound Jameis Winston is now the official
• 56:32
  Speaker 9: $ 13 million tush-push carrier. And number three, you could laugh
• 56:38
  Speaker 9: at that. Number three, J.J. Jonathan James McCarthy, 20 for 28,
• 56:46
  Speaker 9: and almost 500 total yards passing in his two games.
• 56:51
  Speaker 9: One of them was just one quarter. So the Giants,
• 56:54
  Speaker 9: barring injury, could be set for at least the next
• 56:58
  Speaker 9: 10 seasons with two top-flight quarterbacks, both Jackson Dart and McCarthy.
• 57:06
  Speaker 9: Both are only 23 years old. So if one is
• 57:10
  Speaker 9: hurt or having a bad game in the second half,
• 57:13
  Speaker 9: put in the other guy. just like Allie Sherman did
• 57:17
  Speaker 9: with Y.A. Tittle and Charlie Connolly in the 61 Giants
• 57:21
  Speaker 9: Eastern Conference Championship. As far as the Jets go, oh, man.
• 57:27
  Speaker 9: If you can't beat the winless Dolphins playing at home,
• 57:31
  Speaker 9: who can you beat? Unfortunately, I think the writing is
• 57:35
  Speaker 9: on the wall for Aaron Glenn, who is now 5-19
• 57:39
  Speaker 9: as head coach of the Jets. Once it appears, again
• 57:45
  Speaker 9: it appears, Glenn cannot be a head coach and the
• 57:48
  Speaker 9: defensive coordinator at the same time. And keep track of
• 57:52
  Speaker 9: the timeouts and management clocks. He saved all three of
• 57:57
  Speaker 9: his first half timeouts and took them into the dressing room.
• 58:02
  Speaker 9: What for? Was he looking for a refund?
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: What do you make of it? I noticed the defense.
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: The Jet defense gave up 156 rush yards against a
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: team not known for anything, the Dolphins. Why doesn't the owner,
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: Woody Johnson, say, you're not calling the defense signals anymore?
• 58:27
  Speaker 9: Because Woody Johnson should be selling Q-tips at Johnson & Johnson.
• 58:35
  Speaker 9: I'll tell you, he didn't call any timeouts. You remember
• 58:41
  Speaker 9: the Dolphins moved 91 yards just before the half? And
• 58:48
  Speaker 9: the point is it left only six seconds for the
• 58:51
  Speaker 9: Jets to have the ball. He just doesn't know. I'll
• 58:55
  Speaker 9: tell you an unbelievable statistic. Going back to last season,
• 59:01
  Speaker 9: the Jets have now been outscored 107-6 in the last
• 59:04
  Speaker 9: two minutes of the first half.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: My, oh, my, man.
• 59:13
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that tells you something right there.
• 59:15
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 59:16
  Speaker 9: And you know what's bad? The high-end gamblers know everything
• 59:21
  Speaker 9: before everybody else. Early in the week, the injured Ravens quarterback,
• 59:26
  Speaker 9: Lamar Jackson, took snaps. and he was listed as questionable,
• 59:31
  Speaker 9: which means he still might play. The Ravens were made
• 59:35
  Speaker 9: a point-and-a-half favorite at home against the Bengals. But later
• 59:40
  Speaker 9: in the week, the gamblers find out that Jackson is
• 59:44
  Speaker 9: not going to play. He's later declared out of the game,
• 59:47
  Speaker 9: and the Ravens become a point-and-a-half underdog. So since the
• 59:52
  Speaker 9: Bengals easily won the game by 32 points, if you
• 59:56
  Speaker 9: took the Bengals... and a point-and-a-half as a point-and-a-half underdog,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 9: and then later took the... You know what? Oh, man,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 9: I think I messed this up. If you took the... Oh, geez,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 9: I messed myself up. If you took the Bengals early
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 9: and the point-and-a-half, and then later took the Bengals and
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 9: gave the point-and-a-half, you won both bets. See, they know
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 9: everything before everybody else. By the way, nine of the
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 9: 12 home teams lost yesterday. The Poe of the Week
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 9: has to go to Yankee owner Al Steinbrenner, who publicly
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 9: blamed three of his players for the Yankees' poor showing
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 9: in the playoffs. Hey, Al, look in the mirror. You're
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 9: the one who signed off on the $ 348 million payroll,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 9: including the luxury tax. But actually, you're You're just like
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 9: your father, who you remember after Dave Winfield went one
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 9: for 22 in the 1981 World Series? He called him Mr.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 9: May as opposed to Mr.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 4: October.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, brilliant.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: Brilliant, Warner.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 9: And then you remember the Yankees had a pitcher named
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 9: Hideki Irabu. He failed to cover first base on a
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 9: ground ball in an exhibition game. And George called him
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 9: a fat toad. But here's the difference. I think your
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 9: father would have fired Aaron Boone by now after going
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 9: 0 for 9 years and no World Series championship and
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 9: continually taking out a starting pitcher way too soon. He
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 9: might have. I don't know if he would have kept
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 9: Brian Cashman or not. He kept him for 12 years. Meanwhile,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 9: look at this. Three of the World Series, Game 3,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 9: shifts to the Milwaukee Brewers leading two games to none. Now,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 9: Milwaukee is the smallest-sized major league market in the majors.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 9: And by the way, they were 35 to one shot
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 9: to win the World Series before the season began. And Tampa... See,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 9: this is where Hal and his family live, in Tampa.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 9: I mean, they're shoving it in his face. Your family's
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 9: resided there for years, and Tampa has a payroll almost
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 9: four times less than yours at only $ 90 million, ranking
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 9: 28th out of 30th in the major leagues. And before
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 9: the season, the Rays were 80-1 to win the World Series.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 9: So if someone could have put down $ 1, 000 there, they'd
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 9: win $ 80, 000 if they win.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 4: Hey, Warner, this is the worst. Go ahead.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 9: Yeah, go ahead.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 4: Now, this is the worst thing that could happen to
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: the players' union going into contract negotiations for next season.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 9: Yeah. What do you mean, small market team? What are
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 9: you talking about? Look who's in the World Series.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 9: That's right. Well, here's the boo of the week. Actually,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 9: she's the stooge of the week. It goes to Minnesota
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 9: Representative Ilhan Omar. I heard you guys talking earlier. Responding
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 9: to a reporter about the immigration probe investigating her U.S.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 9: citizenship status. When if she married, did she marry her brother?
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 9: She said, not to my knowledge. Not to my knowledge.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 9: You've got to be kidding. You wouldn't know whether or not.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 9: You married your own brother. Here's the bottom line. She
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 9: knows if she says yes, she's got a one-way ticket
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 9: back to Somalia. If she says no, everyone knows she's lying.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 9: What a loser.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: Now, Warner, you know what she's going to be wearing,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: a Minnesota Vikings jersey. They're the only undefeated NFL team
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: to just totally distract from that because everybody will go, yeah, Eli, yeah.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 25: Yeah.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 9: She's been a fan for years, even in Somalia.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: Well, do appreciate that, Warner Wolfe. Same time, same place
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: next week. Man, that was good.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 4: That was solid.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 21: Now, it's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 4: And now here she is, the extremely popular Natalie Migliore.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 4: I am, I'm getting emails. People love you.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 6: Oh, thanks.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 20: I love you, too.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: Are you sure it's not just my mom, dad.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 13: And grandma?
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: It could be.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 4: But thank you.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 21: I appreciate that. The honk honk at the end, or
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 21: the beeping, I guess. At the end of the music
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 21: that runs into my segment, that's probably what you'll be
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 21: hearing around Port Authority for at least the next decade
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 21: or so.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: What? You know it.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 4: A decade?
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 21: Yes, a decade as they try to build a new
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 21: Port Authority terminal.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: And drivers in the area.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 21: They are experiencing it. Now, the Port Authority bus terminals
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 21: making progress toward this new and improved transit hub. Part
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 21: of those improvements include changing traffic routes into the existing terminal,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 21: which happened a little over a week ago. So the
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 21: exclusive bus lane through the Lincoln Tunnel was not supposed
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 21: to be impacted, but Port Authority has been warning riders
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 21: about possible delays once the buses hit Manhattan, okay?
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: And it's a different story for drivers... who.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 21: Are encountering standstills at the height of the day, including
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 21: this guy who was from New York who left the city.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 7: I live in Hattiesburg, so every time when I come
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 7: over here, I'm like, oh, man. As soon as I
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 7: hit the Lincoln Tunnel, I'm like, here it goes.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 4: I'm like, damn.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: I'm like, nah, take me back over there.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 7: The traffic, I'm like, dealing with this traffic over here,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 7: especially with the parking, it's crazy.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 4: It's crazy out here.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: If you're in Manhattan at a certain time of day,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: there's going to be traffic.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 19: It's still the same, but, you know, it's New York.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 19: That's just the way the city is. It's never going
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 19: to change, and we just got to learn to adapt
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 19: to it. That's all it is. You know, it's going
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 19: to be yellow cabs everywhere. It's going to be cars everywhere.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 19: It's going to be Ubers everywhere. It's going to be
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 19: people driving into the city, so just adapt to it.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 4: That's all.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 21: That's exactly the scene on every crossroad surrounding Port Authority,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 21: almost at any time of day, for real. All of
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 21: this construction, though, is just prep work, which the agency
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 21: says is moving forward to build a temporary terminal for
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 21: riders so they can make way for a new permanent
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 21: transit hub. Have you guys seen the renderings of this place? Yes, it's...
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 21: Kind of amazing.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: We have to see.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: We're going to do a side-by-side.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: This is what, more than 10 years away?
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: Will you believe these politicians?
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: Well, there's rendering. Do you think it's AI?
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 4: Rendering, probably. Everything's AI now.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 21: Now, commuters, though, have a laundry list they'd like to
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 21: see in.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: A new terminal.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 4: You know, like the airports, you know how they update LaGuardia?
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 19: They should update Port Authority. Wi-Fi, better seating, free phones
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 19: to connect people when they get here, charger ports, more ads,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 19: more shops, more coffee shops, more hangouts.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 4: Not hangouts, but, you know, more seating areas.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's always great to make something more beautiful,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 5: but we want it to be as functional as possible.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 5: It doesn't look terrible, you know, so I would say
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 5: certainly fix the transit system.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 13: The bathroom, but Bathroom house, because right now upstairs I'm going,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 13: I have to come back downstairs and use the lower side.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 21: Is it because it's dirty, it's closed, what?
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 13: Because it's closed, certain times.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 21: Now, before they started work on Port Authority, the bathrooms
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 21: were a constant complaint from every time I went over
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 21: there to interview people about it, what needs to be
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 21: changed is the bathroom.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: So the bathrooms are still a problem.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 21: What the temporary terminal is going to have bathroom-wise, we're
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 21: yet to see what that's going to look like as
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 21: people pass through it. Now, this New Yorker says, forget
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 21: about the inside of the terminal. What about making improvements
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 21: outside of the transit hub?
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 25: Well, I think maybe the crosswalks could be repainted a
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 25: little bit and the lights.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 15: I don't know.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 25: Maybe they could be more audible for the elderly crossing
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 25: as well. Maybe something for the people who are wheeling
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 25: across in their wheelchairs could be good. I don't know
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 25: what specifically, but a lot more accessibility for everybody.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 21: That is something we see a lot now when it
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 21: comes to it. It's an $ 11 billion.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: Project, Curtis. I'm sure you're like, is it really?
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: Say that, $ 11 billion. I don't really think by the
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: time all is said and done, it'll be $ 31 billion.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 21: The final figures will come out by the time the
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 21: project is completed.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: Drum roll, please. 2035.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 21: Okay, so some people are dealing with this for a while.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 21: Some commuters say they have been experiencing longer bus rides.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 19: It's been a little more traffic, but I'll deal with it.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 13: Oh, yeah, and weekends, oh, my God, it's a mess.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 13: Like now, I have to try and catch the bus
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 13: now before the rush hour.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 3: How long is it taking?
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 13: For me, it takes me two hours to reach my destination.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 13: Sometimes it takes a toll on me when I reach work.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 13: I'm tired.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, commuting's a full-time job.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 4: Natalie, all I'm thinking about is heading over the Lincoln Tunnel.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's already a mess.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 4: But with this, it's going to be worse.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: I can't even, I've been saying recently, never in all
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: the years, and it's been a long time since I've
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: been driving in, have I had traffic on the Helix
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: at four in the morning.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: And it's there. The same thing.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 21: And you know, the interesting thing is you ask anybody
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 21: in the area, do you think congestion pricing has changed?
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: Improved it.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 21: And that plays into this as well. People say, no,
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 21: no way. It's the same thing. It's more cars, fewer
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 21: traffic and more construction, not just in Port Authority, but
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 21: in Midtown, these construction projects that are holding drivers up alone.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 21: So it's a really interesting It's very complex the way
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 21: transit works within the grid of Manhattan.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 4: But it's very simple. When you pay more, you expect better.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 4: You don't expect worse.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 26: Yeah.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: Although the people who pound the hound, the greyhound, miserable.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: And then the people who flee to the Poconos because
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: you can get an affordable house, a nice quality of life.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: It used to take two hours on that red bus
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: to the Poconos. It now takes like four hours.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 18: Right.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 4: Oofah.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: That's traffic for you.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 4: Natalie Migliore is going to be back tomorrow morning at 7.50. Well,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 4: it's getting close. And, of course, we've been covering all
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 4: the midterm elections. But Mississippi? Mississippi is now in play.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 4: If Mississippi's in play, Republicans are in trouble. We'll talk
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 4: about that and Kamala Harris trying out her new personality
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 4: after the eight o'clock news. Oh, a shocker among shockers
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 4: with Mississippi having a big Republican registration advantage that that
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 4: is now in play to the point where Donald Trump
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 4: has to go there and to the point that Kamala
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 4: Harris went there to try to get out the vote.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 4: Their senator, is Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith. Now, she was appointed
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 4: to the seat in 2018 after the senator resigned, and
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 4: then she defeated Mike Espy, who is black, by a
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 4: surprisingly close seven percentage point margin in a special election
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 4: earlier this year. Now she's writing again against another African-American.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 4: That's why I mentioned that earlier. And he, in the polls,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 4: it's neck and neck. And so it is Scott Cologne,
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 4: a black district attorney in the nearby city of Columbus,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 4: running for U.S. Senate. So the two of them are
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 4: now deadlocked, which is why that they need some outside help.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump is going to be going. Kamala Harris was
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 4: already there and she had a big rally. It was
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 4: well attended. But this is so weird, Curtis. She's been
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 4: trying out her new personality and her new voice, which
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 4: isn't as screechy and she's not laughing as much. But
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 4: I'm going to play a couple clips. You tell me
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 4: if this is weird.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 26: We've gone through the last year and a half where
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 26: many of us, whether we admit it or not, have
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 26: been saying things to the television that we would not
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 26: say where we pray.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 4: What is that?
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: Well, it seems like she's on Prozac now.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 19: It is.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: It's weird. Remember how she used to be all giddy,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: the word salads, because she'd talk way too fast. And
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: now she's slowed down. It's almost like her rhythm is
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: slowed down. I used to think that she was nipping,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: you know, at the wine before she used.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 4: To come out on the stage. Well, she was. She
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 4: has a history of that. So that's very possible.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: So this new Kamala Harris, you know, in the most
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: recent polls, she's still ahead of the other Democrats. But, man,
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: she's no Barack Obama.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 4: No, not at all. One more. Here's another one.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 3: The people get to speak.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 4: And the people show their power.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: And they make clear we're never going to let anyone
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: take our power from us.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 4: She sounds like a cartoon character.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: It sounds like she just sucked on the helium.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it does.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: My God, this sounds like nothing like the old Kamala, hey,
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: word salad Harris.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 4: You know some consultants said, listen, we got to change
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 4: the way you speak. But that ain't working either.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: So if I'm in Mississippi and you rightly pointed out
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: how it's a neck and neck race and the Democratic
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: candidate is, again, a African-American against the sitting female white
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: Republican senator. You got to bring Barack Obama in. I mean,
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is no match for Donald Trump. He's going
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: to come in today, which he is going. And remember,
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: I know Mississippi, M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I. We used to play touch football
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: in the streets. Your granddaughter plays flag football. She's a champion.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: We used to, you had to do 10 Mississippis and
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: then you could charge the quarterback. But I would have never, ever,
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: ever thought that that you require the superstar of the
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: Republican Party, Donald Trump, to come in and just give
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: her a bump, the U.S. Republican senator against her Democratic foe.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 4: Wait a second. You went after the quarterback after 10 Mississippis? Yeah,
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 4: 10 Mississippis. Wow, we did five.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 12: Five?
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, that's because in Philly they played half ball.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: As you know, they cut DeSwaldine in half, and I
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: guess you cut the countdown. Well, maybe you couldn't count
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: further than six.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 4: No, we just played a better game. We didn't give
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 4: the quarterback all day to throw. Exactly.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: Well, I would have preferred just counting to five Mississippi
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: and then charging the quarterback, but... This is the one
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: that makes no sense, to be honest with you. This
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: should have been a slam dunk for the Republicans.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and as the Washington Post has pointed out and
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 4: the New York Times has pointed out, if it comes
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 4: to turnout, Republicans are going to win. And that's why
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 4: the Trump visit is going to be so important to
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 4: get out the vote. In Mississippi, any Republican state, but
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 4: in Mississippi especially, Mississippi will win that. But it is
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 4: still not great for the Republicans that this race is
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 4: even in play. Because if this is in play and
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 4: it's a national election, then some other states that are
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 4: closer in registration may go– like Michigan, for instance. Michigan's
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 4: got other problems, but if it was just an even
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 4: playing field– It would be difficult for the Republicans.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: And this Democrat that you mentioned, the prosecutor from Columbia,
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: is not a DSA. He's a moderate Democrat.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 4: No, not at all.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: Now, let's do a pivot and shift to Texas. The
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: whole world is watching Texas now because Tallarico, who suffered
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: when he was MIA for about 12 days, 14 days,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: still nobody buys that excuse that it was the flu.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: lost a lot of juice. He was really on, he
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: was like a retro rocket going up, and now it's
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: leveled off him and Paxton. So he has decided, and
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: they're probably doing internal polling, that A, the initial idea,
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: which was to lure Paxton into a debate, that's not
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: going to work out.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 4: Although he made a phone call, which they recorded, they
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 4: made an ad out of this with him asking Paxton
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 4: to debate. Hey, Ken, it's James.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 6: I'm calling to invite you to a debate on Fox News.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 6: Texans start voting in less than a month and they
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 6: deserve to hear from both of us before they do.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 6: I've accepted four local TV debates, but we haven't heard
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 6: from you and we're running out of time. So if
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 6: Fox News is where you'll be most comfortable, I'll be there.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 4: Wow. I'll tell you what, if Paxton thought he had
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 4: to debate, he would. And the fact that Tallarico needs
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 4: a debate shows that in their internal polls, things aren't
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 4: going well for Tallarico. And I think you're right. When
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 4: he took those two weeks off, that really, really hurt
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 4: him because he couldn't deal with all the rumors as
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 4: to why he had taken off. And the flu, that
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 4: just didn't cut it.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: And his own donors who have been pouring money into
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: his race were screaming, where the hell is he?
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 4: Where the hell is he?
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: Now, Elon Musk has jumped in. He moved everything lock, stock,
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: and barrel out of California to Texas. He's now a
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: resident of Texas. Over $ 150 million he's poured into the
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: Paxton campaign. So they must be doing internal polling on
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: the Tallarico side that says... Elon Musk is received more
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: unfavorably in Texas by the voters than Paxton because now
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: his whole campaign is he's going after Elon Musk for
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: all the money he's dropping into this campaign.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with you. And I think he's just
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 4: desperate at this point.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 15: Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 15: wants our taxpayer dollars. And he wants his very own
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 15: personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 15: But on November 3rd, we're going to deliver a crystal
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 15: clear message to the world's first trillionaire.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 4: Texas is not for sale. I will tell you right now,
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 4: and I've been saying this from the beginning, I hear
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 4: every six years, every four years, every election about some
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 4: Democrat that's finally going to win in Texas, and it
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 4: never happens. Beto O'Rourke is the best example of that.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 4: He was the star of the Democratic Party there for
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 4: a while. He was going to become the next senator,
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 4: then the next governor. He was going to win something,
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 4: and he just flamed out. And the same thing is
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 4: going to happen this year.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: There's a big difference, though, from four years ago or six.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: The number of Californians and New Yorkers who have flooded
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: into Texas, incredible numbers, to Texas's credit, because it's an
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: attractive place to raise a family now. educate your children,
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: low taxes, sometimes no taxes, strong on business. So they
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: flooded down there. And what was a clearly red state
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: may become a purple state now with this vote.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 4: Well, you're saying that, but the registration doesn't show it.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 4: The registration still has over 60% Republicans. So until that switches,
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 4: until that happens, Democrats not going to win in that state.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 4: By the way, I do have Paxton responding. about the
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 4: debate offer.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: Do you want to debate him?
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 4: Do you have the desire to or not?
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 27: If the terms were right, I'd have no problem.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: What are your terms? So in terms of debating, I.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 4: Don't want to end up with a CNN reporter.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 11: Covering the debate. So I don't know what all the
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 11: terms are, but I do know I don't.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 4: Want a CNN reporter covering our debate, which is what
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 4: it initially was talking about. Last thing, Trump said a
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 4: couple weeks ago that you're ready, willing, and able to debate.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 4: Is that still true? Yeah, it's always true. See, that's
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 4: why it was so important. That happened before the phone
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 4: call offering Fox News.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: Right, but just for the voters, they should be entitled
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: to at least two debates. I've said this over and over.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: There should be a mandatory... You have to do a
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: minimal of two debates on network television so it's a
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: statewide broadcast debate. And then the people can make an
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: assessment for themselves.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 4: There's 36 Senate races right now. In 21 of them,
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 4: there's no debates. And the reason there's no debates is
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 4: the only reason you don't agree to a debate. The
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 4: only reason is when you feel like you're far ahead
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 4: enough that you don't need that debate. And the only
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 4: thing it could do is hurt you. I think Paxton
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 4: and Tallarico in their internal polls, they both know that
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 4: unless there's a debate, this is over at this point.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm actually predicting that Tallarico will win.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 4: Okay, ain't going to happen. But all right, we'll see.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 4: We'll see when it happens.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: Anyway, up next, oh, when Natalie was away on Friday
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: preparing for the marathon, which 710WOR covers with Larry and
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: Natalie and our whole team from beginning to end next Sunday,
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: November 1st. She's got to do all that prep. Wow,
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: there was more intrigue on the Knicks' rings caper. The
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: World Championship rings that a lot of them didn't get.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: And Natalie lusts, obsesses over getting one of those rings.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: Plus a chance to see comedian John Mulaney.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 4: Next.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: The mystery of the missing World Championship New York Knick
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: rings continues. Assistant coaches, trainers, some of the key people
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: who made this all happen. Received empty boxes on ring
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: night when they raised the banners from the hardwood when
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: your beloved Sixers beat my beloved Knicks, Larry. But the
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: one who was all for toots, who was like excited
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: over these New York Knick rings, was our own Natalie,
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: our producer. And the plot has just thickened, Natalie. So
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: that ring that you so desire, that you've obsessed over,
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: hasn't even been distributed to all the people in the
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: New York Knicks camp who deserve it. And there's no
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: answers coming from Jimmy Dolan. So at a moment of
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: celebration where people actually started to like Jimmy Dolan, who
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: they didn't like, they're now scratching their heads and saying, what,
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: an extra $ 3 million so that everybody part of this
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: championship squad could get a world championship ring?
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 4: What's up, Jimmy? What's up? What made it even worse
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 4: is this email that was sent out to all of
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 4: these staff All of these staffers telling them they're getting
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 4: a championship ring and you just click which one you want.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 4: They had two.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: It turns out.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 4: It was an exercise to teach everybody about fishing. You know,
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 4: about internet scams. Yes. But it wasn't an internet scam.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 4: This was done by the executives at Madison Square Garden.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 4: What a horrible thing to do the employees. And all
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 4: they're saying right now is, you know what, you're right.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 4: In second thought, that was an unfortunate mistake. Unfortunate mistake.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 4: It's in writing that they're supposed to get. They're supposed
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 4: to get a rink. And they didn't get one. I
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 4: would think that they may have a case.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: Well, this is the first time a championship ring resembled
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: this iPhone, you know, Apple's foldable iPhone that everybody was
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: online on Friday to get. I mean, can you describe
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: the ring, Natalie? Because you have obsessed on it.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen it in person, but I can tell it.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: Elevate so you could see the whole Madison Square Garden.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: Then you can open it up and look inside the court.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and they have baskets and everything.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, little people running around.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 4: Anyway, this will be a controversy now for a while.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 4: Want to get some talkbacks? Here we go. Heard about
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 4: the new terminal.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: They're doing a tunnel from Jersey to New York. Why
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: wouldn't they wait for that to be completed first, right?
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 4: That looks like common sense. I know there's a lot
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 4: of moving parts.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 23: And $ 11 billion are taxes at work.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's money, money, money, money, money. They got to
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 4: get the federal money while they can or it might
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 4: go away.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 22: Trump should come out and say how he'll do the
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 22: Port Authority in two and a half to three years
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 22: at half the cost.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, as long as they rename the Port Authority building
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: the Trump building. Might be worth it. That'll be a guarantee.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 4: I was just listening.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 18: I don't think you guys should use consummated relationship. I
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 18: think you have a great conjugal relationship.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: I concur. The two C's, consummate and conjugal. You're never
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: getting away from it.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 4: I was going to agree with him, but I was
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 4: going to say I agree. It's too fast. I didn't
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 4: know where he was going with that.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 25: No.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 18: I think one of the reasons why we're not seeing
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 18: a lot of young candidates in the Republican Party is
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 18: because the young are dumb. Unfortunately, it's terrible to say,
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 18: but it's true. They think socialism is great. And that's
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 18: who they're pulling towards. And it's sad.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 20: They really should go to the socialist country for one
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 20: week and see what it's really like.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: The young are dumb. Yeah, you're really going to attract
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: a lot of young people after that statement. How ridiculous.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: The majority of the voters now are 30 to like 44.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: So if you label them dumb. you push them over
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: to the Democratic side.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 4: And there's a lot of young, brilliant Republicans. The Democratic
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 4: Socialists that you're talking about, they're all on one side,
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 4: not on the Republican side. Now let's give away some tickets.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 10: I have a friend, she's an elementary school teacher. I
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 10: was out with her one night and she was drinking
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 10: like a monster. And I said to her, don't you
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 10: have to do a shift at school tomorrow? And she went,
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 10: I'll just show a video. And I was like, that's
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 10: why teachers show videos?
• 1:26:51

• 1:28:05
  Speaker 12: an arrest during a traffic stop around 8 o'clock Sunday

  Speaker 12: night at Mill Street in Branchbrook Park. That's when the
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 12: officer was hit by a vehicle. The driver then took off.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 12: The officer's partner fired off a shot. Police in Connecticut
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 12: arrested the driver overnight. Both officers were sent to the
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 12: hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. I'm Scott Pringle, WOR News.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 16: There have been five sexual assaults in Central Park this year.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 16: The latest was Saturday night. A woman claims that a
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 16: man threatened her at knife point and then attacked her
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 16: near the entrance to the park at East 66th and
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 16: 5th Avenue. Police are looking for the suspect. Well, he
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 16: is not on the ballot, but with eight days to
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 16: go to the midterms, he's back out on the campaign
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 16: trail today.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 27: President Trump's midterm blitz continues with a campaign stop aimed
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 27: at boosting GOP candidates in Mississippi today. He was in
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 27: Michigan yesterday headlining an afternoon rally near Detroit. as he
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 27: looks to shore up support for GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 27: Rogers is locked in a tight race with Democrat Abdul El-Sayed.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 16: That's NBC's Michael Kastner. Attorney General Todd Blanch is standing
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 16: behind a Justice Department lawsuit which would block Alaska's Senate
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 16: election results if Republican Dan Sullivan is not re-elected. The
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 16: lawsuit alleges that another Republican challenger, Daniel J.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 3: Sullivan, only entered the race yesterday. to confuse voters.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 16: Israelis will vote tomorrow to decide if Benjamin Netanyahu will
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 16: get another term as prime minister. And have you bought
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 16: a lottery ticket lately?

  Speaker 3: A lot of us have.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 16: In fact, people are spending more money lately lending tree,

  Speaker 16: The Giants win, the Jets, the Knicks, the Nets, and
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 16: the Islanders all lost. Next news, 9 o'clock bulletins at once.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 16: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 4: And congratulations to Susan Chimdemi from Bardonia, New York, who
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 4: just won a pair of tickets to see comedian John
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 4: Mulaney's final stop on his nine-night, nine-venue Mulaney Takes Manhattan tour.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 4: One of the best comics in America. Susan, you're going
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 4: to love it. January 15th at Madison Square Garden. You
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 4: got another chance to win tomorrow at 825. When we
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 4: come back, well, Daria just talked about a second ago
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 4: they're going to be choosing a new prime minister in
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 4: Israel and wait to hear about the latest ad. We'll
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 4: tell you about it when we come back.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: Just a few hours with the start of 7 a.m.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: on the Israeli side. I figure they're like seven, eight
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: hours ahead of us. There will be the election to
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: determine who will be the next prime minister or also
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: who will be the members of the Knesset, their legislature.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: So their election begins Tuesday morning, 7 a.m. Their time
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: goes to 10 p.m. Now, this is interesting, Larry. Again,
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: who qualifies to vote? Got to be 18 or older.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: You must present at the polling location a valid ID,
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: a passport, a driver's license, or an Israeli ID card. Again,
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: all these places, Brazil, France, Israel, you got to present
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: valid ID. The ones who might make a difference is
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: the Arab Coalition. They're 20% of the vote. Those are
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: Palestinian Muslims and Palestinian Christians. They do serve in the Knesset.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: they'll probably generally win about 12 to 14 seats. There
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: are 160 seats up for grabs. And to win, you
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: must have 61. Now, nobody, Larry, has ever in the
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: single first level of a race ever won 61, which
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: would mean, okay, whether it's BB or his adversaries, they're
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: the prime minister, they have the cabinet positions. So what
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: is interesting is that Once it finishes, whoever finishes first
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: and gets closest, they have seven days to put together
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: a government. If they can't put together a majority, which
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: are the 61 seats, then whoever finished second, they have
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: seven days. And if that person can't do it, whoever
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: finished third. So the process could take weeks, months, or
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: longer to form a new government. But at the very
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: last second, BB and the far right, which is his coalition,
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: have put out an advertisement that takes us back to 1964.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: When LBJ had an advertisement, by the way, he never
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: paid for it to run on TV. All the news
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: stations carried it because it was so provocative. Remember the
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: little blonde-haired girls counting daisies? And then all of a
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: sudden a nuclear bomb is dropped because he was implying
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: that Barry Goldwater, the Republican candidate, would drop the bomb
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: and we would have Armageddon. Well, Bibi has an ad
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: now in which you just have a nuclear bomb plume
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: over Israel, indicating that without putting my team in, my
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: parliamentary team, led by me, the Prime Minister Bibi, is
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: a very good chance that Israel, the size of New Jersey,
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: will be incinerated from the Golan Heights in the north
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: to Eilat in the south. We'll see if that works
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: like it definitely did in 1964, because poor Goldwater, who
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: would not have not have done that, had to carry
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: that on his back throughout the election. And obviously, Lyndon
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: Baines Johnson trounced him.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 4: More on that ad in one second, because it's the
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 4: most famous ad in political history. It did run once.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 4: It was paid for and ran once. And then it
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 4: was polled. And you're right. Right after it ran that
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 4: first time, it was ran by news programs over and
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 4: over and over again. It's called the Daisy ad, and
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 4: it was a little girl picking petals off a daisy,
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 4: counting backwards. And when she got near the end, of course,
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 4: there was a nuclear explosion. It's an amazing ad, and
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 4: you study it. When you're in college, you study that ad.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 4: It was so powerful. And so unfair to Barry Goldwater.
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 4: It was. But politics is unfair.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: The defining difference here, Larry, is that, you know, a
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: lot of people have dual citizenship from different countries. So
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: let's say you were from the Dominican Republic. You could
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: vote if you had dual citizenship in the DR for
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: a presidential candidate in the DR from a New York location.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: In Israel, no. There are 630,000 Israels who live abroad.
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: That's about 6% of the total Israeli population. It's not
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: a large population. But 50,000 are planning to fly in.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: You must be present at a polling location. There's no
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: mail-in ballots. There's no affidavits. There's no absentee ballots. You
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: have to be in person and show your ID to
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: cast your ballot.
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 4: Why does every country in the world know how to
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 4: run elections except us?
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: And not only that, but Israel is saying, OK, you're
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: still an Israeli citizen. You might be working somewhere else.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: But if you're going to vote, you're entitled to vote.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: You must be present on the only day that you
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: can vote, which is tomorrow.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 4: By the way. That should be the law here. That's
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 4: the way we should run elections here. Like we used
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 4: to run elections. There was never any talk about, oh,
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 4: there's a national fraud. There are some cities that were
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 4: a little corrupt, Chicago and Philadelphia. But there was no
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 4: allegations of all that stuff. I love that you just
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 4: said that because it is in country after country after country.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 4: They look at us and go, they're nuts.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: Democracy, right? Democracy, Brazil, France. Israel and by the way,
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: they'll have their results Tuesday night by 12 and then
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: they have to go into the next rounds as I
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: described But it is great and what it will be
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: because when I was there I've been there three times
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: The biggest arguments amongst Israelis not about you know, all
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: their enemies in the Middle East and Persian Gulf is
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: the religious sector Versus the secular sector. So you will
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: hear people who are secular say. Oh we serve in
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: the military and We pay taxes so that the ultra-Orthodox
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: can have babies. They average about seven children. The average
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: Israeli who's secular, typical of the United States, like one
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: and a half to two kids because, hey, you know
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: it's costly. But you see, the government underwrites the ultra-Orthodox.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: They are supporting Bibi because so far he's gone along
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: with that. But there are a lot of these parties
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: who are saying enough is enough. Our boys, our girls
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: are in the front line, secular. They're dying. And the ultra-Orthodox,
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: all they get to do is daven, you know, with
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: the Torah and the Talmud all day.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 4: That's got to stop. Let's get down to the important stuff,
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 4: the really important stuff. Who's going to win? So I
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 4: went to, of course, the source of all sources when
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 4: it comes to politics, Cauchy and Polymarket. And guess what
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 4: they're saying? I have no idea. You're the expert on this.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 4: They both say that Gadi Eizenkot is going to win,
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 4: and he's going to win substantially. 58% on Kaushi say
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 4: he's going to win to 24% for Netanyahu. And then
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 4: on Polymarket, it's 62%.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you see, I don't think they're taking into
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: consideration the parliamentary form of government and how you know,
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: it becomes quid pro quo. They trade, you know, seats
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: and that.
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 4: Look, you don't think the people with money on the
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 4: line studied that at all when they put thousands of
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 4: dollars on it?
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: It's hard to understand, to be honest. I had to
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: study it. I had to study it. But Gotti, who's
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: the former military chief of staff, not Gotti like John Gotti,
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: but Gotti, he's not very vibrant. I've seen him in
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: his presentations. Now, I don't understand Hebrew, as he was
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: talking in Hebrew, but The difference between him and Bibi.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: Bibi is firing brimstone. Gatti, not so much. So we
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: will know probably by tomorrow. We'll have a good idea
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: what turnout is. But it is another close race. Brazil
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: is close. France will be close. Trump versus Biden. 2020
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: was close, and this one will be a knuckle-biter.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 4: By the way, they do understand it because there's separate
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 4: voting on the parliamentarian election. So they have like four
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 4: or five different things you can vote on. Trust me,
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 4: the people that vote, the people that spend money, they
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 4: absolutely know what they're talking about.
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: Up next, you know what we're going to be discussing here.
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: You know what's happening tomorrow. You have any idea, Larry?
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 4: No, go ahead and tell me. That's a good idea.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: I'm so Israeli-centric here, I forgot. Natalie, what are we
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: getting into?
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 4: You were just going to me.
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: Of course. I was passing the baton. We'll catch up.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: We'll catch up with you in just a few minutes
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: about what's going on tomorrow. The president of the United States,
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump, will be flexing in Mississippi today on
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: behalf of all the Republicans on the ticket there, from
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: Senate to governor to all the congressional districts. Do you think,
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: because it's not really a place where you're going to
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: label the Democrats, you know, jihadists, socialist Democrats. They're pretty
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: much all moderate Democrats, a lot of African Americans. So
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: we think he's going to go full throttle against Harris,
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: who was there like a week ago.
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 4: Oh, sure, sure, sure. He's going to make fun of him.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 4: Because the crowd is going to love him. The crowd
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 4: that's there is going to love him. So he absolutely
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 4: is going to. Can we talk about for a second
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 4: what's happening across the country right now? Because It really
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 4: does warm my heart, the number of people that are
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 4: voting early. You know, usually in a midterm election, people
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 4: aren't really that interested, and the voter turnout is low.
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 4: It's usually less than 50%. Hits 50%, that's great. This time,
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 4: like in Texas, 2.8 million people have already voted. In
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 4: New Jersey, in New York, 175,000 more than the last midterm.
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 4: I don't care what people are voting for. Well, I
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 4: do care. But what is more important to me is
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 4: that people are taking part in the process. And now
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 4: the question becomes, why? Why are there more people? Is
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 4: it because of just the media coverage? Is it because
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 4: of the Democratic machine getting people out? Or is it
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 4: the Republican machine? And is it Donald Trump? Is it
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 4: his effect? My feeling is it probably varies from state
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 4: to state to state. But they're setting records in Kansas.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 4: They got double the number of people from the last
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 4: midterm election. So, wow. I mean, this really gives me
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 4: more faith in the election process.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. If you've ever walked into some
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: of these polling locations during early voting and you look
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: at the poll watches because you have to have one Democrat,
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: one Republican for each congressional district or E.D., as they
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: call it. You're like, how many people have come in today?
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: Maybe five. Yeah, that's a lunchtime. This is great. They're
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: taking advantage of what costs us a lot of money, Larry.
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: This costs a lot of money. The taxpayers have like
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: early voting 10 days, you know, mail-in ballots, absentee ballots,
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: all of these things to try to nourish the vote.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: We just described all these other countries. One day, one
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: day only. They don't have absentee ballots. They don't have
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: mail-in ballots. And if we don't have a sizable number
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 1: of people taking advantage of this, I say to myself,
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: why are we knocking ourselves out and costing ourselves so
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: much money if less people are showing up than really
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 1: should be taking advantage of this?
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 4: Well, now they are. I mean, the amount of interest
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 4: in this election is immense. It's more than I've remembered
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 4: in a midterm election before. Probably in my lifetime, I'm
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 4: going to have to go back and figure that out,
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 4: what compares to this. I think it's incomparable. I'm not
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 4: sure we've ever seen this. We may get over 60%.
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 4: If this keeps up, unless there's people voting now that
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 4: normally would vote on Election Day, then it's going to
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 4: cancel each other out. But if this keeps up... we
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 4: might have a record-setting midterm election. And how wonderful would
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 4: that be that people are once again getting involved in
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 4: the process? Forget who wins and who loses. The fact
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 4: that Americans are now getting out there and voting is
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 4: a plus, a wonderful thing no matter what.
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, exactly, as opposed to 2020, the lockdown and pandemic,
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: when so many Americans for the very first time were told,
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: you've got to vote by mail-in ballot. And it was
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: an extraordinarily turned-out-of-votes period, right? But that's not really what
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: we want to see. We want to see people take
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: advantage of all the options, let the vote be counted
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: accurately and fairly, and then to those that have worked hard,
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: because they're all working hard.
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 4: There's no doubt.
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 1: Every one of these candidates, every one of their campaigns,
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 1: all their volunteers are working very, very hard.
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 4: Well, not Cory Booker.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: No. He's mailed it in. There are a few others.
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 4: There's a bunch that have mailed it in because they
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 4: know they can win That shocks me how many Senate
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 4: seats haven't had debates, and it's for that reason.
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 1: Should be a mandatory two debates for every race. And
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: the Talkback of the Morning and winner of the Curtis
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: Lee with Larry Mendte in the morning t-shirt, and now
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: in the running for Talkback of the Week, who will
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: win a C-Crane radio, seem to be happy. That yours truly,
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: Curtis Lee, lost the race for mayor.
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 4: Oof-ah!
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 18: Curtis, not that I'm glad you lost the election. If
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 18: I were a New York resident, I would have voted
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 18: for you for sure. However, what your losing did for me,
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 18: where I benefited, is... I can now listen to you
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 18: and Larry as the best consummated team on radio.
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 4: Stop with the consummated already.
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, so it's conjugated.
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 4: No, it's not conjugated.
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, conjugated. But anyway, that was brilliant of her.
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 4: Brilliant, she's right. She's right. I'm now a verb.
