Hour 3: Midterm elections · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, we're almost there, just a couple of weeks before
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: the midterm elections that everybody's talking about that's going to
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: decide the future of this country, the future of Donald Trump.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: And it's going to be close. I think at this point,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: if you were really handicapping it and being honest, it
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: does look like the Democrats are going to take the
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: House of Representatives. And that happened so much in the
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: midterm election that the party that's not in the White
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: House yet, wins the house. The Senate at this point
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: is still a toss up with seven states that you
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: have to look at. And now every one of them
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: is within two to three points. Every single one of
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: them in the polls is within two to three points.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: And if you agree with the notion, and by the way,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: it's 14 of the last 16 elections. If you agree
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: with the notions that the polls always undercount Republicans and
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: then the Republicans are going to keep the House. If
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: that doesn't happen this year, it's going to be really
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: close and they may lose. I mean, I'm talking about
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the Senate. They may lose the Senate. So if I
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: were to guess at this point, I think the Democrats
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: are going to take the House. The Republicans are going
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: to keep the Senate. Why is that important? Well, let
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: me just tell you, nothing's going to get done. Nothing's
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: going to get done. However, Every time they have an
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: investigation now with the Democrats in the House of Representatives
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and they send impeachment papers and impeachment bill to the Senate,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: they're going to ignore it. They're going to ignore it
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: like they did with Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: When they kept sending an impeachment for him, the Democrats
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: just kept ignoring it. So, and it's gotten fascinating. Curtis
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: has been talking about the fact that we've only had
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the one debate here in New York and in state
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: after state after state, they've had multiple debates, six in Maine.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: But I don't know if you saw, Curtis, the debate
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: in Alaska with Paltola and Sullivan.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Which Sullivan?
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Not the one that lost. The one that's actually a senator.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: The guy who can't even find Alaska on the map
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: and somehow he's in the finals.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: No, that was a coy move by the Democrats putting
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: him on there to take votes away from the real
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Dan Sullivan. But I don't know if you saw the debate,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: but it was the most fascinating thing in the world
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: because they kept asking question after question. And this woman
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: had cue cards in front of her and they were
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: in order. So the question would be asked, she'd answer
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: it and she'd take her cue card or index card
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and put it underneath. And the next question would be asked.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: And finally, Sullivan said, wait a second, did somehow, did
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: we get questions to the debate? Because she's just going
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: through cue cards and reading off them. And they didn't
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: answer his question. They just said, no, of course not.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: And then they moved on. You know, real quickly, they
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: moved on. It was one of the strangest things I
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: have ever seen.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, we're used to debates where you're not
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: permitted to come out with any notes. You get a
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: blank piece of paper and a big pen to write
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: your notes down. But there are some states, like we
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: saw in Maine, one debate, you're able to bring out
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: the Encyclopedia Britannica, and they're actually turning pages. Other states
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: have different rules. The one thing I'd like to say is,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: thank God that they have debates. Look, Texas, which is
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: one of the most looked-after states, general elections taking place.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Paxton versus Tallarico. There has not been a debate. The
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: people in Texas are entitled, if not one debate, two debates. Look,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Paxton debated Cornyn when he was running in the Republican primary.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: He did relatively well. He had the support of MAGA.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: He had the support of Trump. But it's not like
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Corrin whipped him. And only because Trump was endorsing him
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: did he win. He can handle himself. He's been too
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: racist before. I think there has to be a mandatory rule.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: At least two debates. Let the people size them up.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Create your own rules according to the states, whether they're
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: entitled to have, you know, notes in front of them,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: no notes.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: But some of these states, it's like nothing. It's a desert.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: And then other states, like you said, Maine, six.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: So by now you've had enough time because Susan Collins
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: has been there forever.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: You know her.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: You see the guy who was the speaker of the
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: legislature who replaced Plattner.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Troy Jackson.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Who was erratic, to say the least. Did you see
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the last debate? Yeah. Shut up. Here you go.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Here it is. AI data centers are destroying our climate.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: They are poisoning our water.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: So this is obviously one of Troy's supporters.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, shut up.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: That was a big deal.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: That was a really big deal. I didn't understand, and
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: maybe Natalie, you should get in on this, because I
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: didn't understand how triggering that moment is to women. My
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: wife immediately said, he's done.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: He's done.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: You don't say, when a woman goes to talk, you
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: don't say, shut up. It is so demeaning and it's
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: so chauvinistic. Do you take that?
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: I take it for everyone, honestly. You know, you always
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: tell your kids not to say bad words.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: That was always a bad word.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: In our house.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: You do not say shut up to people.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: You're right. It is so demeaning.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: And I can absolutely see how a male saying it
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: to a female, especially in that kind of situation, because
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: it's dismissive.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Like, okay, you just shut up. I'm moving on.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: But I think it's a terrible word in general.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: They're already playing it in ads right now. Him saying
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: shut up over and over again. And she's been interviewed everywhere.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Saying that any woman that's in it, she called it
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: an abusive relationship. Any woman that's in an abusive relationship
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: with a man has been told to shut up over
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: and over and over again.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: I would bet that's true. I would absolutely bet that's
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: true because it's something that you just don't.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Say to people.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: With millions and millions of dollars being spent coming from
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: out of state, in state. He substituted for Platner, the
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: crazy one. I never thought that he would be as
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: close as he is to Susan Collins in the polling.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: It's like neck and neck because he replaced Platner. You
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: would have thought, oh, God, Platner. I felt like I
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: had to take a hot shower. Well, he inserted himself.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: He did have a background in the legislature. He's a lumberjack.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: He's not into going after lobsters and oysters. He was
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: doing relatively well. But imagine when all is said and done,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: if he loses— That may be the defining moment.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: And because they had six debates, we would have never
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: heard that if there hadn't been so many debates.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Very good point. That's a tremendous point. Yes, you should
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: have debates to see how they handle pressure because we
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: never would have seen that. We would have only seen
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: his manufactured ads that's trying to put him in the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: best light. This way, you see him as he actually is.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: And listen, I don't think Maine's going to like who
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: he actually is. So I haven't seen any recent polls.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there's going to be one out a week
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: before the midterms, but we'll see how this affects him
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: because I think he's going to drop precipitously. I think
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Susan Collins in that last debate. because of his idiocy,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: just won that seat.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: And the best debate by far to date is the
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: one that took place in Michigan between El-Said and Rodgers,
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: where they kept going at one another, even during the
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: commercial break. The moderators, some of whom have been in
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: the Michigan media circuit for 30 years, said they never
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: remember And when there were breaks, you know, to go
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: to advertising, that the candidates continue to argue with one another.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: It's almost like they were oblivious, like two fighters who
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: didn't hear the crying to end the round. They just
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: kept slinging, throwing punches, verbal innuendos. And I think there's
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: one more debate on the 29th in Detroit. You know
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: that's going to be a rock-em-sock-em affair because Rogers is
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: just saying, you're Muslim Brotherhood. You're running from that connection,
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: you and your family. And naturally, you know what Al-Sayed
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: is saying, you're mini-Trump. You know, you're mini-Trump.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Except that he's handled that so badly, Al-Sayed, because he
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: was denying it, then he was avoiding it, and he
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: was going after people that were asking him that, and
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: now he has to admit to it. And so that's
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the worst thing that can happen to you this late.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, if it is two to four
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: points like it normally is that Republicans are undercounted, the
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Republicans will win Alaska. The Republicans will win Ohio. They're
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: going to win Maine. They will win Texas. And they
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: will win Michigan and Iowa. Now, they're still going to
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: lose Georgia and they're still going to lose North Carolina.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: But they keep the Senate not just by a couple seats.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: They'll have 53. All right.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: With two weeks to go, let's go through those states again.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: So I'll give you my picks. You said Ohio. No,
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: you lost that. Republicans lost that. I'm sorry. Oh, really? Okay.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: We'll see. We'll see. It's going to be shocking if
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: they lose that seat. But we'll see.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: I can see Rodgers winning.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Simply because we saw in the Democratic primary with the
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: congresswoman that what El-Said and his supporters saw was a
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: slam dunk the weekend before the actual vote. They were partying,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: you know, they were already tasting victory. And he only
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: won by one point, even though he was 10 points ahead. Alaska.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Alaska, no. I think the Democrat wins. The Democrat wins
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: in Alaska?
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: You're crazy. That's your bias taken over. You're crazy.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: No, no, because she is very independent and she's an
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Inuit person.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: In a statewide debate, she read every answer from index cards.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, forget the fact that she might have got
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the questions ahead of time. The fact that she couldn't
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: think on her feet and she was reading her answers
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: from index cards, you don't think that's going to hurt
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: her in Alaska?
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, the problem is you got two guys on
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: the ballot with the same name.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: That's not going to hurt. I think every... in Alaska
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: at this point, if you know about it and we
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: know about it down here, trust me that in Alaska,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: they know about it.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: I think Tallarico wins in Texas.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Wow. Democratic sweep for him.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm seeing a tsunami here. I'm seeing it because
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: of Trump. I'm seeing a tsunami.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Because they're all running against Trump. And what are the
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Republicans doing now? They're all running away from Trump.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Not all of them, but yes, some of them are.
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: You're right.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: In a close race.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: In some close races.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: He's at like 35% in the national polls. They're not
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: really a good place to be. But when your own
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: party candidates in the Senate are running away from you.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Like they did from Biden. It happens all the time.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: It happens every midterm. They ran away from Obama, if
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: you remember.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I remember it well.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: So if your poll numbers are down a little bit low,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: that's not really uncommon for that to happen. But no,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I think the I I do agree with you that
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: the Democrats will take the House. I don't think they're
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: going to take the Senate. I really don't believe it's
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: going to happen. And and only because of the polling,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: because it's so close right now, the fact that it's
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: so close in some of these states and Republicans are
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: like one ahead in many of the states like Kansas,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: for instance. I got a feeling they're going to be
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: able to hold the Republican places, you know, the places
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: that are normally read, they're going to be able to hold.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: And that would include Ohio.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Well, the best thing is, if you're into politics, it
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: makes it extremely interesting no matter where you look on
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: the map. Up next, one of my all-time favorite movies,
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: along with Nancy, my wife, Office Space. You know, I'm
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: always thinking, which person around here is the guy that
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: was put into the basement? You know, the nerdy guy?
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: With the stapler? Yeah. No, we don't want to say that. Anyway,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: one of the actors passed away. We'll give you an
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: update on that. You'll never guess who he was, plus
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: a chance to see Journey next. And then, Jimmy Don't
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Fail Me Failure, coming up at 8.38.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: There are so many actors out there that, you know,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: never get the starring roles, but they stand out. In
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: everything they're in, they stand out because they're so good.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: And when you hear about them, you go, oh, yeah,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: that guy. Oh, yeah, that guy. Well, Richard Reel, who
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: just died in Los Angeles at the age of 78,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: is an actor that is one of those guys. Reel
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: made his screen debut in 1977 in the crime comedy
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: called Joyride. And since then, he's appeared, listen to this,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: 430 screen roles either in TV or in movies. I've
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: never heard of that many.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: 430.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: And his extensive credits are Casino. He was in The Fugitive.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: He was in Bridesmaids. He had a big role in
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Glory when he got into a fight with the Denzel
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Washington character. A really great actor, a tremendous actor. But
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: everybody remembers him from the cult classic, The Office Space.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: I have people skills.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I am good at dealing with people.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: you people?
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: He was an employee there named Tom Smichowski. And Tom
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Smichowski was a guy that just walked around the office
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: talking to everybody and And nobody knew what he really did.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: And then some efficiency people came in and they sat
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: down and talked to him. And he was trying to
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: say that he is a people person. And at the
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: end of it, they kept pressing him. Yeah, but what
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: do you actually do? Like during your day, what are
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the tasks you do? And he finally got fed up.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: And that's when you heard.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: I have people skills.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that?
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: What the hell is wrong with you people?
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: And of course, in saying he has people skills, he
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: ruined it with that rant. Yeah, well, that was the
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: two bobs that they brought in, remember? Started asking questions.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: But I love Swingline Milton. You know how they took
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: him and put him in the basement.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Who was that? Lumberg who walked around with the coffee
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: cup in his hand. Put him in the basement. He
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: had like staples attached to his eyeglasses.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: He played the radio. He listened to the radio.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: And he loved his stapler.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: And he loved 710WOR. You can hear that on the radio.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm assuming he was. But he was listening.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Remember he said, oh, no, you got to turn the
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: radio off.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: That's great.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: He was a tremendous actor, and now he's gone. But
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: let's get some talkbacks.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: Curtis, you were right about everything. Well, I've been talking
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: to a lot of.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: My friends, everybody making $ 15, 000 north and south of.
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: What I make, which is $ 80, 000 a year, are either
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: not showing up to vote or they're going to vote
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: Democrat to slow Trump down, as I've been saying on
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: the talkbacks for about three weeks.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Anyway, this Russia thing, it's going to bury the administration.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: It's going to lose the House and the Senate.
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: If Rubio doesn't run for president, we're not going to
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: get a president again.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I recognize this guy. He calls in a lot, and
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: it's always anti-Trump, but it's anti-Republican.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Notice how J.D.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Vance, the vice president, would not endorse Bibi Netanyahu breaking
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: with the president on that.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the president, even though his poll numbers are
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: low here, are not in Israel. That endorsement of him
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: in Israel, that does carry weight.
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: If they have all these things on Elon Omar and
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: they're all true, she's going to make George Santos look
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: like an amateur.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're exactly right. No, it seems like they're all true.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I will tell you something and take a look at
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: it if you can find any of the interviews with
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Tom Holman, especially the one on Fox when he's asked
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: if there's anything else. And his smile tells it all.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Got to be financial, Campy. You were off by a
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: year when you came in from Somalia. But now, right now,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: it's 8.30. Let's get the news from Daria.
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: Morning, guys.
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: Mostly sunny today. We'll see a high of 70 degrees.
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: Seems like yesterday, doesn't it, that the Knicks won the
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: NBA championship? Well, now they have to defend it. And
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: they'll host Philadelphia to start things off tonight. Before the tip-off, though,
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: the team will get their rings and they'll raise the
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: banner at the Garden. A pro-Palestinian group has claimed responsibility
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: for vandalizing a bank in Manhattan, and now the NYPD
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: is looking into it.
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: The group Palestine Action tells NBC it's responsible for breaking
• 16:37
  Speaker 8: glass and spray-painting pro-Palestinian phrases at the Capital One Bank
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: on East 86th Street and 2nd Avenue Monday morning. Council
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: Speaker Julie Menon is reacting.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: It's completely unacceptable. I mean, this is vandalism. Now it's
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: being investigated as a hate crime.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: The windows are all shattered.
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: A statement by Palestine Action to NBC reads in part,
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: our action has showed Capital One the price of their
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: complicity in genocide. Do business with Elbit and we will
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: cost you money. Elbit Systems is an Israel-based defense technology company.
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: I'm Scott Pringle, WOR News.
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: Researchers at Louisiana State University say they've found new ways
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: to treat type 2 diabetes.
• 17:18
  Speaker 9: From data released by scientists at LSU's Pennington Biomedical Research
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: Center and the University of Oklahoma, tweaking a gene in
• 17:25
  Speaker 9: mice reduced a protein that disrupts insulin. Exercise also lowered
• 17:29
  Speaker 9: the troublesome protein in human patients, pointing to dual action
• 17:33
  Speaker 9: therapies down the road. Scientists say the discovery may eventually
• 17:37
  Speaker 9: lead to advanced new medicines. I'm Tammy Trujillo.
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: Well, happy hour here in the city can cost as
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: much as a meal, maybe more in some cases. Now
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: there's a website called 5PMNYC. It's dedicated to happy hours
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: across the five boroughs, and it says you will pay
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: an average of $ 19. 50 at watering holes in Nomad, Tribeca,
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: on the Upper East Side, neighborhoods like that, for one drink.
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: You're looking for a bargain? Head to the Outer Boroughs,
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: where that Manhattan may cost just $ 12. 50 in Bayside or Bushwick.
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: The Rangers beat Anaheim. Next news, 9 o'clock, bulletins at once.
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Daria, and congratulations to George Osman from Elmont,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: New York. You just won a pair of tickets to
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: see Journey, November 7th at Nassau Coliseum. Tickets are on
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: sale right now at Ticketmaster.com. You've got another chance to
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: win tomorrow at 825. Well, now that Kate Zachariah is out,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: who better to be the new press secretary than Jimmy Fallon?
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: I'll ask him if he'll accept the job coming up next.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: We're now joined by Jimmy Fallon, WOR host from 9
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: to Midnight and Fox Across America with Jimmy Fallon and
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: host of The Fox News Saturday night show with Jimmy
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Fallon on the Fox News channel. I was thinking about
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: you over the last couple of days because I felt
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: really bad for Katie Zachariah, who got the press secretary's job.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: And it was almost like a setup. She flew in
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: from L.A. She got off the plane and she was
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: basically put at the podium with not much of a briefing.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: But now the job's open and I'm thinking, you know,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon, I've seen pictures of him at the podium before.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: If you were the press secretary, would you start with
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: a set?
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: I think it would lower the temperature. But if I
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: wanted to make the room laugh, I wouldn't write material.
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: I would just read them my background check. Once they
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: saw the results. Like, wait, you did what when you
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: were 22? You once drove a man to wear in
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: a taxi?
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: Well, this is great. Think how much heat.
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: It would take off the president if I opened by
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: saying that I've met a ton of people.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Traveler from another solar system. You know, it definitely takes
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: the edge off him, doesn't it?
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: So do you have any suggestions since she actually beat
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: the record set by Scaramucci, that's Skifosa. What was he,
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: 12 days? She was, what, five days? She Obviously better
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: looking than him.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Do you have any suggestions?
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: Well, first of all, she beat the record that was
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: set by the Goldfish. I won at the carnival at
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: Island Trees, Long Island in 1991.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: That thing at least gave us 48 hours before they
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: told me that story about how it swam away to
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: go see his family. I heard the toilet flush in
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: the other room.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: Golding missed his family. He's going for a swim flush anyway.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: No wonder why you've been traumatized. There's no doubt about it.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: That was it.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: That was the defining moment.
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: I mean, I will say this. They need, like, you
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: need a public speaker. Being on TV enough is not alone. Because, like,
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: as you can tell, poor Katie, she's used to being
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: one of four panelists, which is not the same thing
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: as leading every journalist on Earth knowing they hate you.
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: You know, that's not a friendly gig. If you're the
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: Trump press secretary, you know every question is, you literally
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: work for Hitler. What's going on with the tariffs?
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: And you're like, wait, what?
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: Where do I even start with that, you know? So...
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: You need somebody who actually has live experience. That's why,
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: I mean, a comic is not a bad choice in theory,
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: but they're going to have to get someone who is, like,
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: more of a public speaker. You know, somebody who goes
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: on the road a lot. Like, if you wanted a
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: serious recommendation, Kurt.
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: I think it should be somebody who kind of ran
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: for office and isn't doing a lot right now. Can
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: we think of anybody like that? I don't mean like locally.
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: I mean like nationally.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: I was thinking of like Tudor Dixon. Do you know
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: Tudor Dixon?
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: She ran for Senate in Michigan, and she was one
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: of the old-fashioned women.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: She didn't have a penis. She didn't hate Israel.
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: You know, so she doesn't fit in in modern Michigan politics,
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: but she has a good command, and I think she
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: would do it. But I don't think she's listed in
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: the odds.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: I don't think so.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm so sorry I asked that question.
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: I really am.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: That's the first time.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: I've ever said that.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: So let's get to the field that you are an
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: expert in comedy. Two of the greatest of all time,
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: Seinfeld and Larry David. couldn't be any more different as
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: they have now plunged themselves into the political realm. With Seinfeld,
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: he's up front, he's IDF, he supports Zionism, he goes,
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: I'm a Zionist, and he's still touring. So he's on
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: that stage in Chicago, and right away, pro-Palestinian folks have
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: paid the tab to get in, and they start giving
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: him grief.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Seinfeld! Seinfeld! Listen to me! You're a racist!
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: There are 74,000 dead Palestinians! So now, how would you
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: deal with that if all of a sudden you're doing
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: your stand-up?
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Packed location, like 4,000 people. Yeah, make that funny.
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: Well, first of all, the guy sounds like Larry David.
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: It kind of sounds like a sketch of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: But what I love.
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: About these situations is like it's such like a misappropriation
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: of protest because nobody at a Jerry Seinfeld show makes
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: Middle East policy.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: They don't make it for Israel. They don't make it
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: for America.
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: They're just there to buy the two drink minimum, watch
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: the show and laugh. So it just seems like the
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: wrong thing to do.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying?
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: Like, you know, you wouldn't show up, you know, to
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: my kids flag football game this weekend and protest climate change,
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: would you? Because nobody there, you know what I mean,
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: is in it. You know, it's again, it's like the
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: no king thing.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: We don't have kings. So it's like them protesting no
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: abs on The View.
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: It's like you've already accomplished what you're there for.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Hey, listen, as someone that tours the country and plays
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: some big arenas, I am always impressed by Donald Trump.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Forget the poll numbers for one minute. Just as a performance,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I have never seen a politician so quick in the
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: moment and so comfortable on the stage as he talks
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: to arenas.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: He's a crowd work comedian. You know, the difference being, like,
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: Seinfeld is a material comedian.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: He has an act.
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: He has, you know, an hour and 20 minutes that
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: he's written, and it's really well polished. And he's, for
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: the most part, going to stick to the script unless,
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: you know, a free Palestine guy heckles him as you played. Trump,
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: on the other hand, shows up with no script, meaning
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: there's a teleprompter. But as you know, the teleprompter is
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: just a suggestion. And he's very comfortable going off script.
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: Look at this guy in the front row.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: My friend over there is fat. You know, he's more
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: of a Rickles. Does that make sense?
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: He is.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: You know, we elected Don Trump, as I always say,
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: and we got Don Rickles. That's what he is.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: Well, don't you remember the roast when they roasted Donald
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: Trump at the old Friars Club? It was Don Rickles.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: You know, hey, you hockey puck. He roasted not only Trump,
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: but everybody that was on the dais.
• 25:13
  Speaker 9: Yep.
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: That's how it works.
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's the thing about going with Trump rally
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: is like you're all in the splash zone. You have
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: no idea where the thing's going to go. So it's
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: weird because the things they do at a Trump rally
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: that are predictable are I always say to people because
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: I've covered a lot of them. It's like the new
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: Rocky Horror Picture Show in that you'll hear people in
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: the crowd go, hey, we can't go to the bathroom.
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: They're about to do lock her up.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: And they're like, we'll.
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: Go during Drain the Swamp and we'll come back for
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: Build a Wall at the end.
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: Let's go.
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: Come on.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Hey, Bill Maher is getting a lot of blowback from
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: people like Larry David and other comedians for going and
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: meeting Donald Trump now twice. He's had two dinners at
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: the White House. And I think he's been brilliant in saying, look,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: I still rip the guy all the time, but I'm
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: not going to turn down an invitation to meet the
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: President of the United States. How do you feel about it?
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: How do you feel about the meetings?
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: Well, he's being one of the adults in the room because...
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: What they're doing is they're not legitimizing this pretend hysteria
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: that Trump is like a Hitler or an existential threat
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: or living in this unprecedented moment.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: None of that is true.
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: And when you refuse to meet with Trump, when you
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: refuse to show the humanity of the other side of
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: a political position.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: You further this manufactured hysteria.
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: Like there are a lot of people that believe we're
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: living in this perilous moment where Trump's, you know, going
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: to wipe out the Republican.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: None of that's true. Again, I always make the same point.
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: NBC employed this man for 15 years as the host
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: of Celebrity Apprentice, okay? So imagine when an NBC anchor
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: gets on TV at least one time a day and
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: calls him literally Hitler. They are literally paying him royalties.
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: You know, and you can't separate that.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: That is the truth.
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: That is the truth, which means everything else that comes
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: after it is pretend. So what Bill Maher is doing
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: is he's forcing the conversation back to reality.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: So I actually applaud that. I'm glad he does that.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: I always say, Jimmy, when you were Vice President Vance,
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: you called him Hitler.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: You became the vice president years later.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, there is there is an ability to get
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: beyond that.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he doesn't care.
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: As he famously says, he's like, if I refuse to
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: work with everybody who's ever taken a shot at me,
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: I'd be alone in the White House right now. And
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: it's true, because everybody has taken a shot. And it
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: depends on your entree into the conversation. Like when Vance
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: got started in politics, Trump had just come down the escalator,
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: and every op-ed in the media was Trump is Hitler.
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: Louis C.K.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: Wrote one. Do you remember that?
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Louis C.K.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: Wrote that he is literally Hitler.
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: And I don't mind, you know, Louis C.K., nice enough guy.
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: He's touring again, although you have to wear a poncho
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: if you're in the front row. Because, you know, sometimes
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: there's a splash zone with Louie. But the point is,
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: he was swept up by the same dopey zeitgeist as
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: everybody else.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what, Jimmy. I'm the Sandman at
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: the Apollo. I'm coming out and giving you the hook.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Every night, 9 to 12, Monday through Friday, you go
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: to sleep with Jimmy Failure. You'll wake up with Larry
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: and Curtis at 6 in the morning at 710 WR.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Jimmy.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: You're the best. See you guys.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: November 5th.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: Macron, who fancied himself as the leader of all of Europe,
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: missing in action as there were riots, looting, fires throughout France.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: On Saturday and days before that, he was seen at
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: a Celine Dion concert. My God, it's like going down
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: in the Titanic. But he's out with six months to go.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: It's an interim government. You know, he's just holding the
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: place setting. until a national election takes place between the
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: far left and far right. But in the interim time,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: the interior minister has imposed curfews in Paris and other
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: major cities from about 8 o'clock at night to 6
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: o'clock in the morning. 3,000 stores were looted on Saturday alone.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: He said, we will track down the looters if it's
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: the last thing we do.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: What can we show it?
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Inspector Clouseau, you know, they're not going to catch any
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: of these guys. And it's just showing that the public
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: safety fabric in France is coming apart. The interior minister
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: said the police were unprepared. for the riots on Saturday,
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: but we'll be ready for the day of outrage that
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: is being called round two on Saturday. Really looking bad.

• 29:53
  Speaker 1: different way. This is simmering. Immigration problems is simmering right now.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: That is at the basis of this. It's not the
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: face of it, except for the people that are looting.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: If you look, they look like that they are not French,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: unless somehow they were born there. But if you look
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: at Germany right now, if you look at the UK,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: this is a problem that is simmering throughout Europe. And

• 30:22
  Speaker 1: What we can talk about tomorrow is that you know
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: that Jay-Z, is in charge of picking who the Halftime
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Act is at the Super Bowl. And I think over
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: the last few years, he's been awful. It's shown that
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: he shouldn't be picking. But guess who it sounds like
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: he's picking this year? Who?
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Himself. You're kidding.

• 31:02
  Speaker 1: job than me.
