Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Wow, I'm going to pimp off of what the Knicks
- 0:02Speaker 1: coach said last night after they lost their opening game,
- 0:07Speaker 1: banners down, world championship rings given out, Madison Square Garden,
- 0:11Speaker 1: the Mecca of basketball.
- 0:13Speaker 2: And let me just say, I predicted that. We'll get
- 0:16Speaker 2: into that later on.
- 0:17Speaker 1: But coach Mike Brown said, yeah, starting five look like
- 0:21Speaker 1: they were running in mud, fatigue. And there's reasons for that.
- 0:26Speaker 1: And he's a young man, you know that. testosterone crashing
- 0:30Speaker 1: through their cranium. They'll never have more energy than at
- 0:33Speaker 1: this point in their life. But we ourselves are champions
- 0:37Speaker 1: here at 710 WR, the most listened to talk station
- 0:42Speaker 1: in New York. And the recent ratings prove that. The
- 0:45Speaker 1: guy in the morning there, you know, WABC, Israel first, Jews, Muslims,
- 0:52Speaker 1: Zorhan is a terrorist, is wearing thin. Man, the demos
- 0:55Speaker 1: were incredible. We'll get to that maybe tomorrow. But I
- 0:59Speaker 1: will tell you this, I must salute you, Larry and Natalie,
- 1:03Speaker 1: as veterans, because you are in a cycle now where you're.
- 1:08Speaker 2: Going to have to be fighting off fatigue. Let me
- 1:10Speaker 2: give you their schedules, right?
- 1:11Speaker 1: We've got the pre-election coverage right now going right on
- 1:15Speaker 1: up to November 3rd itself. Then all-night coverage on November
- 1:19Speaker 1: 3rd that Larry and Natalie and others here will be
- 1:22Speaker 1: involved in. Best coverage in all of radio. Then you've
- 1:25Speaker 1: got to be back the very next day. Then before
- 1:28Speaker 1: you know it, you grab a little sleep. November 1st,
- 1:31Speaker 1: you're doing live coverage of the New York City Marathon.
- 1:34Speaker 1: The whole world will be listening. So if ever there
- 1:37Speaker 1: was a point where you veterans would be fatigued, It
- 1:41Speaker 1: would be in this cycle.
- 1:43Speaker 2: I would think so.
- 1:44Speaker 1: And I was so happy to learn about two weeks
- 1:47Speaker 1: ago that you, Larry, on a normal day, drink about 14,
- 1:50Speaker 1: 15 cups of caffeinated coffee.
- 1:52Speaker 2: I still can't.
- 1:54Speaker 3: I think he's actually tamed down that number a little bit.
- 1:59Speaker 2: I don't know. It varies.
- 2:00Speaker 4: It varies from day to day because I've already had
- 2:03Speaker 4: four cups this morning.
- 2:04Speaker 5: Oh, my.
- 2:05Speaker 2: And so, you know, that big thing I bring in, that.
- 2:08Speaker 6: Which is two cups.
- 2:09Speaker 2: Takes two cups.
- 2:10Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 2:10Speaker 4: That's two cups. And then I've had two more. So
- 2:15Speaker 4: I drink a lot of coffee. But listen, what you're
- 2:17Speaker 4: talking about, like in a schedule for a regular news reporter.
- 2:21Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Sometimes you're covering stories all night long.
- 2:24Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 2:25Speaker 4: And sometimes you, you know, for instance, when I was anchoring,
- 2:29Speaker 4: when there's a snowstorm, you're on all day.
- 2:32Speaker 8: Yes.
- 2:32Speaker 4: And then you're up the next morning early. They get
- 2:34Speaker 4: a hotel. You're up the next morning early. You're back on.
- 2:37Speaker 4: So this is the job. This is what we do.
- 2:41Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. And you've done it for
- 2:43Speaker 1: how many Emmys have you won in your lifetime?
- 2:45Speaker 2: 97.
- 2:46Speaker 1: We are going to talk about awards tomorrow because the
- 2:49Speaker 1: guy over at WABC thinks he's getting the biggest award ever.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Oh, we're going to bust this bubble tomorrow. What's the
- 2:54Speaker 2: biggest award ever? I have permission from Tom Cuddy. We're
- 2:57Speaker 2: going to do a deep dive. Well, just tell me
- 2:58Speaker 2: what the award is. The New York State... TV and
- 3:01Speaker 2: Radio Hall of Fame.
- 3:03Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
- 3:04Speaker 2: Okay, I want it in 2013. Yeah.
- 3:06Speaker 1: It's nice, but that's like you got the first base.
- 3:09Speaker 1: You and I, Natalie, we're on third base. We're going
- 3:12Speaker 1: for the National Radio Hall of Fame. But we'll get
- 3:15Speaker 1: into it tomorrow.
- 3:16Speaker 2: Yeah, there's so many Hall of Fames. I'm in three.
- 3:19Speaker 4: So just to show you how insignificant some of them are.
- 3:21Speaker 1: You're the best. I've been in this business 35 years.
- 3:25Speaker 1: But 2013, I won that award. Oh, man, you're listening
- 3:29Speaker 1: to W. Did they put you in your high school
- 3:32Speaker 1: Hall of Fame? No, remember, they kicked me out in
- 3:35Speaker 1: high school. Brooklyn Prep, they shined their boots on my backside,
- 3:39Speaker 1: kicked me to the curb.
- 3:40Speaker 4: You know what?
- 3:40Speaker 6: I don't even know if my high school has a
- 3:42Speaker 6: Hall of Fame.
- 3:43Speaker 2: We do.
- 3:43Speaker 6: Tottenville High School, is there a Hall of Fame out there?
- 3:45Speaker 2: Yeah, Purple Pirates. Purple Pirates, you're right.
- 3:48Speaker 4: When I was inducted into the Hall of Fame, that's
- 3:50Speaker 4: when I told the story about the priest who used.
- 3:52Speaker 2: To take us on trips.
- 3:53Speaker 3: Yeah, probably not the best story that you could have told, Larry.
- 3:57Speaker 2: I'm wondering, Larry. I'm wondering.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Look, even the president himself has been admiring the ass
- 4:04Speaker 1: of a U.S.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Senator from Ohio. He never touched me. I don't know
- 4:09Speaker 2: why he didn't like me. I mean, apparently the other
- 4:12Speaker 2: people he liked. Larry, it happens to us.
- 4:14Speaker 1: I was holding hands with Zoran Mondami and people said
- 4:17Speaker 1: that was homoerotic.
- 4:18Speaker 2: It happens. I was a cute kid. What was wrong
- 4:20Speaker 2: with me? Oh, my God. You were prime meat. By
- 4:23Speaker 2: the way, were you an altar boy?
- 4:26Speaker 4: No, they threw me off the older boys for making
- 4:29Speaker 4: fun of Mike Dick's name.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Thank God they did. But let's get to fatigue here.
- 4:34Speaker 2: Let me give you the facts.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Fatigue is the main or secondary reason for 10% to 20%
- 4:40Speaker 1: of all consultations that you seek from your primary care physician.
- 4:45Speaker 1: You know, you just went through this, Natalie, how difficult
- 4:48Speaker 1: it is to even get an appointment of late. I mean,
- 4:51Speaker 1: you miss that appointment, you'll be waiting a month or
- 4:54Speaker 1: Sunday for the next one. Absolutely. Imagine 10 to 20%
- 4:58Speaker 1: of the people, many of them listening right now, the
- 5:01Speaker 1: reason they go to their primary care physician is, doc,
- 5:05Speaker 1: I feel fatigued.
- 5:06Speaker 2: I'm tired.
- 5:07Speaker 1: You know, right away the doctor would, hey, you know,
- 5:09Speaker 1: you're getting older. This happens when you get older. And
- 5:12Speaker 1: then they'll recommend the guys, this is the latest, testosterone therapy.
- 5:16Speaker 1: You know, your testosterone is low, they do the blood test.
- 5:19Speaker 1: For women, it's sort of like, well, you're multitasking, you know,
- 5:22Speaker 1: because the guy doesn't do as much work in the
- 5:24Speaker 1: house as you. So maybe you have to delegate some
- 5:27Speaker 1: of the work to him. Oh, that'll never happen. That
- 5:30Speaker 1: causes then a mental health care crisis for the ladies.
- 5:33Speaker 1: But a lot of people marvel at the energy that
- 5:36Speaker 1: I have. And you've observed it, Larry, Natalie, you've observed.
- 5:40Speaker 2: It, people have observed it.
- 5:41Speaker 10: You know what?
- 5:41Speaker 6: Your energy exhausts me. It does.
- 5:47Speaker 2: I'm just saying. That's a great line. The Knicks could
- 5:50Speaker 2: have used that last night on the hardwood.
- 5:53Speaker 1: But it appears that I am one of those rare exceptions.
- 5:57Speaker 1: We know that President Donald Trump is a rare exception.
- 6:00Speaker 1: The guy almost never goes to sleep.
- 6:02Speaker 7: Never. Never.
- 6:03Speaker 2: Thomas Edison was known for that.
- 6:05Speaker 1: Four hours a night, in fact, to force himself to
- 6:08Speaker 1: get up in nearby Edison, New Jersey, he would put
- 6:11Speaker 1: his feet above his navel on the desk. And what
- 6:16Speaker 1: that does is it causes your kidneys to growl at
- 6:19Speaker 1: about four hours into the sleep. You are the nastiest
- 6:22Speaker 1: SOB you can imagine when you get up because you've
- 6:24Speaker 1: got to go relieve yourself.
- 6:25Speaker 2: You can't go back to sleep.
- 6:27Speaker 7: I know.
- 6:27Speaker 1: I've tried that Edison remedy. But apparently there's a rare exception.
- 6:32Speaker 1: A genetic variation, 1% of the population only needs four
- 6:39Speaker 1: to five hours naturally to wake up refreshed. Most everybody
- 6:43Speaker 1: out seven to nine hours minimal. You see, I am
- 6:47Speaker 1: that genetic exception. I'm trying to figure out why my dad, right,
- 6:53Speaker 1: he obviously would get normal sleep.
- 6:55Speaker 2: My mom would get normal sleep. I just don't understand it.
- 6:59Speaker 4: You know, it's funny, the word fatigue, I just looked
- 7:01Speaker 4: it up because I wanted to see how many people
- 7:03Speaker 4: suffered from it. But this is what it says about it.
- 7:06Speaker 4: Fatigue is extreme, persistent tiredness and a lack of energy
- 7:11Speaker 4: that will not go away with rest.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Did you know that?
- 7:17Speaker 4: No, I never knew that. That is actually a medical
- 7:21Speaker 4: condition that you can have. And it doesn't matter how
- 7:24Speaker 4: much sleep you get. You're still going to be fatigued.
- 7:27Speaker 4: So I, I've, I don't think I've ever been fatigued,
- 7:31Speaker 4: but man, I, you know, some people out there, they
- 7:34Speaker 4: have to go seek treatment for that.
- 7:36Speaker 2: And it's not just sleep that's going to cure it. Yeah.
- 7:39Speaker 1: And a lot of times if you depend on caffeine,
- 7:41Speaker 1: which is a legal drug, everybody acknowledges caffeine is a drug.
- 7:45Speaker 1: You get an initial blast and then you crash.
- 7:48Speaker 2: Yeah. An initial blast. I went through that whole syndrome.
- 7:51Speaker 2: I would drink.
- 7:52Speaker 1: Two 48-ounce bottles of Coca-Cola while doing a program, a.m.
- 7:57Speaker 1: and p.m., because sometimes they do two shifts.
- 7:59Speaker 2: Can't do that anymore. But there are some people, they
- 8:02Speaker 2: live on caffeine. You happen to be one of them.
- 8:04Speaker 1: It benefits you. It gets your motor going, your motor.
- 8:07Speaker 1: You have the biggest job of everybody here because you
- 8:10Speaker 1: live the furthest away. You have to drive. You get
- 8:12Speaker 1: in here early when we're not even here. You're cutting
- 8:15Speaker 1: up tape. You're doing research. So by the time we
- 8:19Speaker 1: get here... You've already spent half your day here.
- 8:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm ready to sleep. Thanks, Larry, for doing it all.
- 8:26Speaker 3: Appreciate it.
- 8:26Speaker 6: But no, you do. You do have a crazy schedule,
- 8:29Speaker 6: and you do work all day.
- 8:32Speaker 11: All day.
- 8:33Speaker 3: I mean, I'll text you, and you're doing something. But
- 8:37Speaker 3: it is interesting about the fatigues.
- 8:39Speaker 2: Oh, thank you. Thank you. Watch that microphone, okay? Most definitely.
- 8:44Speaker 3: Because that is the first thing doctors say now when
- 8:47Speaker 3: you're going for your annual physical, you know, are you tired?
- 8:50Speaker 6: Are you resting enough? But the fatigue, I can always,
- 8:54Speaker 6: if I'm exhausted, I could sleep and I feel better.
- 8:57Speaker 4: I didn't know it was a condition. I mean, I
- 8:59Speaker 4: just figured, yeah, fatigue, you didn't get enough sleep. Get
- 9:01Speaker 4: some sleep and you'll be fine. I never knew that
- 9:04Speaker 4: that was a condition. Maybe somebody that's listening knows all
- 9:08Speaker 4: about that, and maybe there's somebody out there that suffers
- 9:10Speaker 4: from that. If you want to leave us a talkback,
- 9:13Speaker 4: just go to 710WOR. com, and then you'll see the talkback feature.
- 9:19Speaker 4: You can set a preset for 710WOR, as a matter
- 9:23Speaker 4: of fact, while you're there. And don't forget, the best
- 9:25Speaker 4: talkback of the week takes home a Seacrane radio. The
- 9:28Speaker 4: best talkback of the day, of course, takes home a
- 9:34Speaker 4: curtis and larry in the morning t-shirt i think i
- 9:36Speaker 4: messed that up for a second you go to the
- 9:39Speaker 4: i heart radio app and you set a preset for
- 9:42Speaker 4: 710 wor it's under the 710 wor section that the
- 9:47Speaker 4: talkback feature is and then.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Uh larry you discovered one of my secrets uh right
- 9:52Speaker 1: after the uh program i'll go into one of the
- 9:55Speaker 1: side studios make my call so it doesn't interfere with
- 9:58Speaker 1: everything and all of a sudden i'll nod out for
- 10:01Speaker 1: a few minutes.
- 10:02Speaker 4: Yeah yeah and you're gone and you are it's amazing
- 10:05Speaker 4: it really is amazing i told you the story i
- 10:08Speaker 4: did a story on sleep deprivation one time yes and
- 10:11Speaker 4: they took me to a sleep clinic And they told me,
- 10:14Speaker 4: and they put things all over me, you know, like
- 10:16Speaker 4: sensors all over me. And they told me, okay, we're
- 10:18Speaker 4: going to let you sleep. They sent me, took me
- 10:19Speaker 4: into a dark room, completely dark room. And I fell asleep.
- 10:23Speaker 4: And then they came and they woke me up and said,
- 10:25Speaker 4: how long were you asleep? I said, I don't know,
- 10:27Speaker 4: four or five hours. And they said, you were asleep
- 10:29Speaker 4: for 10 minutes because you fell into REM. You were
- 10:33Speaker 4: so tired. You fell right into REM. And that's really
- 10:36Speaker 4: all you need.
- 10:38Speaker 2: And that, I think, is what I do. To be alert.
- 10:40Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 10:41Speaker 2: Like Tom Cuddy the other day said, oh, I passed
- 10:44Speaker 2: the studio. You were dead asleep. I didn't want to
- 10:46Speaker 2: disturb you. I said, I wasn't sleeping. But I was.
- 10:49Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 10:50Speaker 2: For a very brief period of time.
- 10:52Speaker 1: And that may well be what contributes to the fact
- 10:55Speaker 1: that I only need like four to five hours a night.
- 10:59Speaker 4: Well, you know, please give us a talk back because
- 11:01Speaker 4: I know this is a real problem across America and
- 11:04Speaker 4: across our listening area. If you don't get enough sleep
- 11:08Speaker 4: and how you deal with that. Now let's talk about
- 11:11Speaker 4: Christina Applegate because Christina Applegate turns out she doesn't have MS.
- 11:17Speaker 4: She doesn't have multiple sclerosis and she's really upset about that.
- 11:22Speaker 2: We'll tell you why. Plus a chance to see Journey
- 11:24Speaker 2: at age 25.
- 11:26Speaker 13: Right.
- 11:26Speaker 4: Well, you know, Christina Applegate, the actress from she was
- 11:30Speaker 4: Kelly Bundy. Remember that in Married with Children? And she's
- 11:36Speaker 4: won awards. She's won Golden Globe. She's won Emmys for
- 11:39Speaker 4: and she's been in several movies, mostly rom-coms or comedy movies.
- 11:44Speaker 4: And just a couple of years back, she was diagnosed
- 11:47Speaker 4: with multiple sclerosis. And since then, she has been an
- 11:53Speaker 4: advocate in fighting multiple sclerosis and talking to groups. And
- 11:57Speaker 4: now all of a sudden, she went for an appointment,
- 12:00Speaker 4: a doctor's appointment, and she was told.
- 12:03Speaker 2: There's good news. Good news. You don't really have MS.
- 12:08Speaker 2: But she didn't take it as good news at all.
- 12:10Speaker 14: I had a reason. I had a f * * *
- 12:12Speaker 14: ing reason as to why my day sucked every day.
- 12:16Speaker 14: And now I don't have a reason. And it's... Very
- 12:20Speaker 14: unnerving and it's really confusing for me.
- 12:23Speaker 4: She said they were so happy in the doctor's office
- 12:25Speaker 4: and she felt like crying because at least she knew
- 12:29Speaker 4: what she was fighting before. Now she's been years with
- 12:33Speaker 4: a disease and they don't know what it is that
- 12:36Speaker 4: she has. She was really upset.
- 12:39Speaker 6: You don't get misdiagnosed and then all of a sudden
- 12:41Speaker 6: I'm better.
- 12:42Speaker 1: Right.
- 12:43Speaker 14: I haven't gotten better, Jamie. If anything, I've gotten worse
- 12:48Speaker 14: in some ways.
- 12:49Speaker 4: She was talking to Jamie Lynn Sigler on her podcast.
- 12:53Speaker 4: You remember her from playing meadow on the Sopranos. Everybody's
- 12:57Speaker 4: got a podcast now, but no, she, she broke down crying.
- 13:02Speaker 2: I feel like I let everybody down, you know?
- 13:04Speaker 14: No, it's this weird feeling of like, I became like this,
- 13:10Speaker 14: you know, you and I, the poster children for MS.
- 13:15Speaker 1: I got, I gotta say, I don't understand this. My mother-in-law,
- 13:19Speaker 1: has had MS for many, many years, and, you know,
- 13:21Speaker 1: medication and it affects her. We just recently saw America's weatherwoman,
- 13:26Speaker 1: Fox News Channel, in the morning, Janice Steen, retire because
- 13:31Speaker 1: MS has just sapped her energy.
- 13:34Speaker 2: I think I'd be happy. I don't have MS. I
- 13:38Speaker 2: don't know what I have yet, but at least we've
- 13:40Speaker 2: eliminated that.
- 13:40Speaker 4: But if you have the symptoms, if you still have
- 13:43Speaker 4: these horrible symptoms... Now, what you're being told is we
- 13:47Speaker 4: don't know what it is. We don't know what's wrong.
- 13:50Speaker 12: All right.
- 13:50Speaker 2: But isn't that worse?
- 13:51Speaker 1: At least with modern medical science, they can start testing
- 13:54Speaker 1: other things. If they thought you just had MS, you're
- 13:57Speaker 1: on an MS regimen of drugs that probably are having
- 14:00Speaker 1: no impact on you whatsoever.
- 14:01Speaker 4: What are they going to test? What are they going
- 14:03Speaker 4: to test? They don't even know what she has. I mean,
- 14:06Speaker 4: not knowing, I think... Would be worse than knowing what
- 14:12Speaker 4: it is. At least you know what to deal with.
- 14:14Speaker 2: I disagree.
- 14:15Speaker 6: And I'm sure she's going to have to process this.
- 14:17Speaker 3: This is going to take some time because she has
- 14:19Speaker 3: lived and she has become an advocate for MS. And
- 14:22Speaker 3: now apparently she doesn't have it. So now she one
- 14:25Speaker 3: has to figure out what she has to hopefully get
- 14:28Speaker 3: treated for that.
- 14:30Speaker 2: This is.
- 14:31Speaker 6: This is definitely a psychological rollercoaster she's on.
- 14:33Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely.
- 14:34Speaker 4: I can understand why she's so upset because now, at
- 14:38Speaker 4: least before she was getting some type of treatment, they
- 14:41Speaker 4: don't even know.
- 14:41Speaker 2: What to treat now.
- 14:42Speaker 7: I know.
- 14:42Speaker 2: That's awful.
- 14:43Speaker 4: All right, let's get some talkbacks.
- 14:45Speaker 11: I average about four, four and a half hours a night,
- 14:47Speaker 11: mostly my whole life, and I'll be 68 soon. I'm
- 14:52Speaker 11: like Curtis, nonstop.
- 14:53Speaker 7: I set goals every day.
- 14:55Speaker 13: I achieve them.
- 14:57Speaker 7: I'm diligent.
- 14:57Speaker 4: I'm focused.
- 14:59Speaker 2: I have some coffee, not too much. But above all,
- 15:02Speaker 2: I just never needed much sleep. And look at Trump.
- 15:06Speaker 2: He's 80.
- 15:06Speaker 1: I'm only 72. He never drinks coffee. You know, Diet Coke.
- 15:12Speaker 1: That has caffeine.
- 15:13Speaker 2: A lot of them. But, I mean, that guy gets
- 15:16Speaker 2: up morning, noon, and night.
- 15:17Speaker 1: Remember, he's tweeting out at 2, 3 in the morning
- 15:20Speaker 1: on his social networking.
- 15:22Speaker 2: That guy gets way less sleep than I do. Yeah,
- 15:25Speaker 2: a lot of very famous people got very little sleep.
- 15:28Speaker 15: You talk about fatigue.
- 15:29Speaker 4: I have the.
- 15:31Speaker 15: opposite i am quite like curtis the most hours of
- 15:34Speaker 15: sleep i can get barring any crazy nightly activity is
- 15:38Speaker 15: about four to five hours that's why i call you
- 15:41Speaker 15: up so amped up so ready to go right away
- 15:44Speaker 15: i am telling you if i get four hours of
- 15:46Speaker 15: sleep i'm lucky i'm like whoa deep sleep hey have
- 15:51Speaker 15: a great show guys.
- 15:53Speaker 7: Woo!
- 15:54Speaker 4: Let's go!
- 15:55Speaker 2: He's taking something.
- 15:56Speaker 6: I hope he doesn't go behind the wheel.
- 15:58Speaker 2: I hope it's just coffee. Testosterone therapy.
- 16:01Speaker 6: Or should we say, can I have what he's having?
- 16:04Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly right. Now let's get the news at
- 16:07Speaker 2: 6.30 with Daria Albinger.
- 16:09Speaker 9: Daria.
- 16:09Speaker 16: Maybe a little decaf for him.
- 16:12Speaker 6: I love his energy.
- 16:15Speaker 4: Bright, cool and breezy today.
- 16:17Speaker 16: A high of 66 degrees. The search is on for
- 16:20Speaker 16: a gunman who shot and killed a man involved in
- 16:23Speaker 16: a crash. The jersey-bound lanes of the GWB, which tied
- 16:27Speaker 16: up traffic for hours, police say it was a drive-by.
- 16:30Speaker 16: The victim had a gunshot wound to the head when
- 16:31Speaker 16: he was pulled from the vehicle. A sanitation worker in
- 16:34Speaker 16: Westchester County stabbed on the job. It happened yesterday in
- 16:37Speaker 16: Mount Vernon.
- 16:38Speaker 17: Cops say it happened around 8.20 a.m. when a man
- 16:41Speaker 17: holding two knives began confronting the workers. In a cell
- 16:44Speaker 17: phone video, the suspect can be heard complaining that the
- 16:48Speaker 17: noise woke him up as workers attempt to defend themselves
- 16:51Speaker 17: with baseball bats. The victim was stabbed on the arm
- 16:54Speaker 17: and in the abdomen. He was taken to the hospital
- 16:57Speaker 17: and listed in stable condition. Authorities took a person of
- 17:00Speaker 17: interest into custody at the scene. Charges are pending. I'm
- 17:04Speaker 17: Lizzie Radabali, WOR News.
- 17:06Speaker 16: Federal agents are investigating several adult daycare centers here in
- 17:09Speaker 16: the city. They say it's part of a larger probe
- 17:11Speaker 16: into alleged health care fraud. President Trump continues his pre-midterm
- 17:16Speaker 16: campaign blitz today with a stop in South Carolina.
- 17:18Speaker 18: He has kept up a really aggressive pace on the
- 17:21Speaker 18: campaign trail. He was over the weekend in Georgia, in Kentucky.
- 17:25Speaker 18: On Monday, it was Kansas. Last night in North Carolina.
- 17:28Speaker 18: He's going to have stops later this week in South Carolina, Iowa,
- 17:32Speaker 18: and then is expected to be in.
- 17:34Speaker 19: Michigan and Georgia over the weekend.
- 17:36Speaker 18: And yesterday, he teased that he would be back in
- 17:38Speaker 18: Ohio next week to campaign for Senator John Husted. Not
- 17:41Speaker 18: yet scheduled, but already announcing that he is going to
- 17:44Speaker 18: be doing that.
- 17:45Speaker 16: That's ABC's Karen Travers. A satellite slowdown which impacted the
- 17:50Speaker 16: Ukrainian military last week was reportedly ordered by Elon Musk.
- 17:55Speaker 16: The Wall Street Journal says he capped the speeds at
- 17:57Speaker 16: which Ukrainian hardware could stay connected to the Starlink network,
- 18:01Speaker 16: rendering some of the drones useless. The report also claims
- 18:04Speaker 16: that Musk discussed it with the president. The Knicks lost
- 18:07Speaker 16: to Philadelphia. The Nets open their season tonight against Charlotte.
- 18:09Speaker 16: The Devils and the Islanders win. Next news, 7 o'clock,
- 18:12Speaker 16: bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
- 18:16Speaker 1: I was right. The Curtis Lee was super sports spectacular.
- 18:19Speaker 1: I'm a lifetime Knick fan, but I can tell. I
- 18:22Speaker 1: can tell. Too much fatigue, all these endorsements, appearance fees
- 18:26Speaker 1: in the offseason. After 53 years, we won the championship.
- 18:31Speaker 1: I told Larry, lifelong Sixers fan, that the Sixers would
- 18:36Speaker 1: win with LeBron James, and they did. We'll break it
- 18:38Speaker 1: down for you up next. You should have listened to
- 18:44Speaker 1: me out there, ladies and gentlemen. I'm a tried and
- 18:46Speaker 1: true Knick fan. I go way back before 70-73 when
- 18:49Speaker 1: they won their last two championships against the Lakers. Then
- 18:53Speaker 1: the 53-year drought. Sometimes they got close, but no cigar.
- 18:59Speaker 1: I remember going to games in the old garden, a
- 19:01Speaker 1: buck 50 with a student government organization pass. You could
- 19:06Speaker 1: bag your own lunch or at night. Nobody stopped you.
- 19:10Speaker 1: Now you need a reverse mortgage and a payday loan
- 19:12Speaker 1: to go to a game. But Larry, I said, as
- 19:15Speaker 1: much as I love the Knicks, I don't really like
- 19:18Speaker 1: the 76ers and I don't like LeBron James, but I
- 19:21Speaker 1: could tell. with this being the championship year. They raised
- 19:25Speaker 1: the banners. They gave out the rings. I just know
- 19:30Speaker 1: what happens. It's off-season, and the Knicks are everywhere, all
- 19:34Speaker 1: the Knicks. Even guys you couldn't identify if your life
- 19:37Speaker 1: depended on it before the championship year, everybody wants them.
- 19:40Speaker 1: Bar mitzvahs will pay you $ 250, 000. All you got to
- 19:43Speaker 1: do is just come and toast the bar mitzvah boy
- 19:46Speaker 1: or bar mitzvah girl or marriages. Just come in and
- 19:50Speaker 1: toast $ 250, 000. And the agents are saying, get it this year, man,
- 19:54Speaker 1: because you don't know what it's going to be like
- 19:56Speaker 1: in years after. Endorsements, appearance fees. So I was very
- 20:00Speaker 1: interested in the post-game analysis. Mike Brown, very good coach,
- 20:04Speaker 1: came out and said, look, my starting five looked like
- 20:07Speaker 1: they were running in mud.
- 20:09Speaker 2: They had fatigue.
- 20:11Speaker 1: And I think part of that fatigue was that they
- 20:15Speaker 1: really haven't had a good training camp. They really weren't
- 20:18Speaker 1: doing a lot of off-season training like when they were hungry.
- 20:22Speaker 1: And it may take them a little bit of time
- 20:23Speaker 1: to get back to their sea legs because the Sixers
- 20:26Speaker 1: showed you exactly how to beat the Knicks.
- 20:28Speaker 4: I'll tell you what. I hope you're wrong about all
- 20:31Speaker 4: of that. And I'm not saying you are. I'm just
- 20:34Speaker 4: saying it's a hope that you're wrong because you never
- 20:37Speaker 4: won a team that that is going to either party
- 20:42Speaker 4: or look for money so much they can't separate the two,
- 20:46Speaker 4: and they go into a season flat, especially after they
- 20:51Speaker 4: saw what they did to this city. I mean, this
- 20:54Speaker 4: city became alive.
- 20:56Speaker 2: This city.
- 20:57Speaker 4: had this heart among it that everybody was together for
- 21:01Speaker 4: that one day or even the whole series. For weeks
- 21:06Speaker 4: and weeks and weeks, everybody came together as Knicks fans.
- 21:10Speaker 4: So for them, if you're right, that they didn't take
- 21:14Speaker 4: this game or this season seriously because they were all
- 21:17Speaker 4: thinking of themselves and how much money they could make,
- 21:22Speaker 4: they should follow their star, Jalen Brunson, who took a
- 21:25Speaker 4: pay cut. pay cut to get here so they could
- 21:29Speaker 4: hire other players. By the way, that ceremony beforehand was wonderful.
- 21:35Speaker 2: The raising of the banner.
- 21:36Speaker 4: A little long, but it was produced. Your guy, Jimmy Dolan,
- 21:42Speaker 4: he puts together a good show.
- 21:43Speaker 1: Yeah, pay your property taxes, Jimmy. $ 46 million you don't pay.
- 21:48Speaker 1: But let's face it.
- 21:49Speaker 2: He's forgiven for everything right now.
- 21:51Speaker 4: Let me just play Jalen Brunson because he was part
- 21:53Speaker 4: of that opening ceremony and he was really good.
- 21:57Speaker 2: This is unbelievable. This is really a dream come true. Yeah,
- 22:02Speaker 2: this guy's loved right now in this city.
- 22:06Speaker 20: I know we're all excited to get this season going.
- 22:08Speaker 2: We're ready to turn the page as a team.
- 22:10Speaker 20: But one thing I would like to say, the joy
- 22:13Speaker 20: that this city had this summer, we would love to
- 22:16Speaker 20: replicate that again.
- 22:19Speaker 4: And then the next thing he said is, let's raise
- 22:21Speaker 4: the banner. And then they started raising the banner. How
- 22:23Speaker 4: long does it take to raise a banner?
- 22:26Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
- 22:28Speaker 3: That was the slowest banner ever.
- 22:31Speaker 1: 53-year drought. I don't care if it inched up.
- 22:37Speaker 2: It did inch up. It did inch up. But it
- 22:41Speaker 2: was great.
- 22:41Speaker 6: Centimeters at a time.
- 22:42Speaker 2: There's a certain point where you're like, can we play
- 22:44Speaker 2: the game?
- 22:45Speaker 4: Can we get to the game?
- 22:47Speaker 1: So they got to the game, and your team, the Sixers,
- 22:50Speaker 1: proved to be so much better than the Knicks. First off,
- 22:55Speaker 1: Maxie was just flying up and down the court like
- 22:58Speaker 1: the Wallenda brothers.
- 22:59Speaker 2: I said it yesterday on the air. He's the best
- 23:01Speaker 2: player on the team. I don't care.
- 23:02Speaker 4: Everybody else has bigger names. Everybody else has MVPs. Tyrese
- 23:05Speaker 4: Maxie is the best player on that team.
- 23:07Speaker 1: And LeBron James proved that he knew exactly what his
- 23:10Speaker 1: place is on what I believe may well be the
- 23:13Speaker 1: NBA championship team, the Philadelphia 76ers. There was a point
- 23:18Speaker 1: where a fan in the stands engaged him, talking about, oh,
- 23:21Speaker 1: you helicopter back and forth. I think he made a
- 23:24Speaker 1: comment about Kobe Bryant.
- 23:26Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
- 23:27Speaker 2: And, you know, who jumped in as the peacemaker?
- 23:30Speaker 1: I mean, he was dressed like Superfly TNT, you know,
- 23:34Speaker 1: from the pimp days on Times Square.
- 23:36Speaker 2: Spike Lee was the peacemaker.
- 23:38Speaker 1: That's when you recognize, man, this ain't going to be
- 23:41Speaker 1: like it typically is, because he's normally the one who
- 23:44Speaker 1: throws the gasoline on the fire.
- 23:46Speaker 2: But the Sixers, you could see they were hungry.
- 23:50Speaker 1: The Knicks, I'm telling you, you mentioned Brunson giving up
- 23:54Speaker 1: money so that other players could be hired.
- 23:56Speaker 2: You're absolutely right. Carl Anthony Towns would be.
- 24:00Speaker 1: Getting $ 50 million a year.
- 24:02Speaker 2: He's not the best center in the NBA. He's good.
- 24:04Speaker 2: He's a Jersey boy. He should know better. But now
- 24:07Speaker 2: he's moping. He's complaining.
- 24:10Speaker 1: Why do I have to wait after the season to
- 24:12Speaker 1: see if they're going to extend my contract?
- 24:15Speaker 2: Shut up and play. Wouldn't he be an incredible center?
- 24:19Speaker 4: He might be the best in the league if he
- 24:22Speaker 4: didn't get in foul trouble every single game. He can
- 24:25Speaker 4: only play half the game.
- 24:26Speaker 12: Correct.
- 24:27Speaker 4: Because he gets two fouls in the first quarter, and
- 24:29Speaker 4: then they have to sit him so they can have
- 24:31Speaker 4: him at the end. But in the playoffs, every single
- 24:35Speaker 4: game in the playoffs, he was in foul trouble. And
- 24:37Speaker 4: I don't know what it is. I don't know how
- 24:39Speaker 4: you coach that out of a person. Like, don't smack people.
- 24:43Speaker 4: How about that?
- 24:43Speaker 1: No, that's a part of him when he was with
- 24:45Speaker 1: the Timberwolves. It's just a part of his game. I
- 24:48Speaker 1: don't think you can change him now. He can be
- 24:51Speaker 1: great at times, stellar, especially when he comes out to
- 24:55Speaker 1: the key. He forces the big man to come out
- 24:57Speaker 1: to the key. That means they can't sweep the boards,
- 24:59Speaker 1: the opposition, because he'll dole out passes. He was doing
- 25:03Speaker 1: that in the playoffs and in the championship game. And
- 25:05Speaker 1: by the way, what happened to Gumby from the San
- 25:08Speaker 1: Antonio Spurs? I'll bet you Saturday, the new day of
- 25:11Speaker 1: outrage in Paris, he'll be the guy 7'2, dressed in black,
- 25:15Speaker 1: throwing Molotov cocktails.
- 25:16Speaker 2: You notice he hasn't commented on that.
- 25:19Speaker 1: Oh, before he was texting, tweeting, he was, like, giving
- 25:23Speaker 1: commentary on everything.
- 25:25Speaker 2: He's the pride of France. Guess what? You don't even
- 25:28Speaker 2: hear about Gumby anymore. Yeah, I know.
- 25:30Speaker 4: I'm sure they told him to shut up if you
- 25:32Speaker 4: want to keep playing and getting your money.
- 25:35Speaker 2: But he is... He's going to be in the finals again.
- 25:38Speaker 2: San Antonio will be in the finals again. He's great.
- 25:40Speaker 2: There's no doubt.
- 25:40Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, I was very impressed with the
- 25:44Speaker 1: Philadelphia 76ers.
- 25:46Speaker 2: And remember, they want revenge. They were embarrassed last year.
- 25:50Speaker 6: I want to be the girl in the room and
- 25:51Speaker 6: talk about that ring.
- 25:53Speaker 4: But 80%, that's right.
- 25:56Speaker 2: That ring is amazing.
- 25:57Speaker 19: That ring was insane.
- 25:58Speaker 4: It was amazing.
- 25:59Speaker 6: It opens up to a little Madison Square Garden.
- 26:02Speaker 2: I've seen it. Yeah, I saw it. That's incredible. Let
- 26:05Speaker 2: me predict something. But you can't wear that ring. No,
- 26:07Speaker 2: you cannot. Let me predict right now.
- 26:10Speaker 1: A lot of these guys will be going to post-game parties,
- 26:13Speaker 1: like they always do, you know, till like the break
- 26:15Speaker 1: of dawn. One of them is going to get robbed
- 26:18Speaker 1: at gunpoint.
- 26:18Speaker 6: Oh, that ring.
- 26:19Speaker 2: Because they're going to be wearing the rings, many of them.
- 26:21Speaker 2: Some of them won't.
- 26:22Speaker 1: They'll keep it in the house in a safe or
- 26:24Speaker 1: they'll keep it on display. Some of them will want
- 26:26Speaker 1: to be styling and profiling at the club.
- 26:29Speaker 2: Big mistake.
- 26:31Speaker 1: The homeboys are going to be eye fornicating that and
- 26:34Speaker 1: they'll stick you up at gunpoint.
- 26:35Speaker 2: They've done that before.
- 26:36Speaker 3: 800 diamonds and sapphires totaling 22 carats.
- 26:42Speaker 2: Boy, you get a lot at a pawn shop for that.
- 26:44Speaker 2: That's for sure. There's this huge.
- 26:46Speaker 4: Outrage right now in New Jersey over ICE, but they
- 26:51Speaker 4: have the situation completely wrong. It doesn't seem to matter
- 26:56Speaker 4: these days. Politicians still go out. There's still going to
- 26:59Speaker 4: be protests, all because of what amounts to just questioning
- 27:05Speaker 4: somebody sitting on a bench.
- 27:06Speaker 2: We'll talk about it when.
- 27:07Speaker 4: We come back.
- 27:08Speaker 2: Back taxes.
- 27:09Speaker 4: Do you realize that ICE picks up? and deports about
- 27:13Speaker 4: 50,000 people a month. If you didn't know that, that's
- 27:17Speaker 4: because that's not covered. The only thing that gets covered
- 27:21Speaker 4: ever is when they do something that the media thinks, aha,
- 27:27Speaker 4: we got them. It is gotcha coverage. It's not showing
- 27:32Speaker 4: how many criminals they took off the streets. Of that 50,000,
- 27:35Speaker 4: by the way, 72% they're saying in the last two
- 27:39Speaker 4: months were criminals. The only times they go after people
- 27:42Speaker 4: that aren't criminals is when they have to go after criminals,
- 27:46Speaker 4: but then they have to take everybody else out. They
- 27:48Speaker 4: have to, by law, they have to, they're required to.
- 27:50Speaker 4: They have to check everybody's immigration status that's there. And
- 27:54Speaker 4: sometimes they take the family out and sometimes they take
- 27:57Speaker 4: anybody that's there that happens to be on the street
- 28:00Speaker 4: out as well. That's how it works. All the states
- 28:04Speaker 4: that just hand over these criminals to after they're in prison,
- 28:09Speaker 4: don't have that problem. There, the rate is 90%. 90%
- 28:15Speaker 4: of the people that are picked up by ICE are criminals.
- 28:20Speaker 4: That's who they're going after now. Other people just get
- 28:23Speaker 4: caught in that net. But again, the only time you
- 28:26Speaker 4: hear about them is when there's a shooting or they
- 28:29Speaker 4: picked up the wrong person. All of the other people
- 28:33Speaker 4: they're taking, let me just give you one quick example.
- 28:37Speaker 4: They took all of these, they have something called the
- 28:42Speaker 4: gang sting right now, where they've taken 1,200 people off
- 28:48Speaker 4: the street, 1,200 people off the street in the last
- 28:52Speaker 4: two weeks who are affiliated with MS-13 or Trend de Aragua. Now,
- 28:58Speaker 4: the problem is when you hear that, you go, oh,
- 29:00Speaker 4: that's a good thing. But you don't hear that. Nobody
- 29:03Speaker 4: reports that.
- 29:05Speaker 2: And why is that?
- 29:07Speaker 4: That's bias by omission. There is a bias media that's
- 29:12Speaker 4: only covering when ICE has a mishap. And so now
- 29:15Speaker 4: I want to take you to North Bergen, New Jersey.
- 29:17Speaker 4: In North Bergen, New Jersey, there's a young man, George Castillo,
- 29:22Speaker 4: who was sitting on a bench. He was going to
- 29:24Speaker 4: North Bergen High School. And three masked officers from ICE
- 29:29Speaker 4: came up to him to talk to him.
- 29:30Speaker 2: They didn't arrest him. They didn't harass him.
- 29:33Speaker 4: They let him go.
- 29:34Speaker 2: They just questioned them.
- 29:36Speaker 4: And oh my God, you would have thought he's going out,
- 29:40Speaker 4: they're going after a minor. They're talking to a minor.
- 29:44Speaker 4: What are they doing? And of course, politicians ran there,
- 29:48Speaker 4: including Assemblyman Rodriguez, who was a guest.
- 29:53Speaker 1: The image of three masked agents approaching A child who
- 29:57Speaker 1: is going to school sets a tone of fear in
- 30:00Speaker 1: our community.
- 30:01Speaker 4: Yeah, there's going to be protest apparently today, except he
- 30:03Speaker 4: wasn't a child. He was 18 years old. And that
- 30:07Speaker 4: was just a lie. And it was also a bust
- 30:12Speaker 4: of some sex offenders and gang members. Nine people were arrested.
- 30:18Speaker 4: And so I'm not sure... Why that doesn't get covered.
- 30:22Speaker 4: I'm just reading a story, as a matter of fact, online.
- 30:26Speaker 4: And at the very bottom, at the very bottom of
- 30:28Speaker 4: the story, it was the people that were arrested and
- 30:31Speaker 4: what they did.
- 30:32Speaker 2: This kid was just questioned. That's it.
- 30:35Speaker 4: They didn't touch him. They didn't take him in. But
- 30:39Speaker 4: the lesson from this story is be careful what you're
- 30:42Speaker 4: being told in the news.
- 30:43Speaker 1: Well, what the ICE agents do is they check for
- 30:46Speaker 1: gang tattoos. Because if you are affiliated, you know, if
- 30:50Speaker 1: you're a hardcore gang member, you have the tattoo. And
- 30:52Speaker 1: so clearly they must have done a peripheral check. They
- 30:55Speaker 1: realized he wasn't a gang member. He went on his
- 30:57Speaker 1: way to school. What I want you to do, though,
- 31:00Speaker 1: to follow up tomorrow, you mentioned North Bergen, right? That's
- 31:03Speaker 1: the guy there, the mayor, Nicholas Sacco, who gets four
- 31:08Speaker 1: different pays. You know, he's like head of water, head
- 31:11Speaker 1: of the Department of Education. He's an assemblyman. He's the
- 31:14Speaker 1: mayor there. I think he retires October 28th. Finally, they
- 31:18Speaker 1: have a Hispanic mayor.
- 31:19Speaker 2: Does he get four pensions?
- 31:20Speaker 21: Oh, yeah.
- 31:21Speaker 1: Can you see if he attends the demonstration today? This
- 31:25Speaker 1: guy is the most corrupt guy in all of New Jersey.
- 31:28Speaker 1: And that's saying a lot in the Soprano State. Yeah,
- 31:30Speaker 1: because there's a lot of guys that take more than
- 31:32Speaker 1: one salary in the state. That's not uncommon. Four is
- 31:36Speaker 1: pretty much. That's being gluttonous. Most people have two jobs
- 31:40Speaker 1: and take two salaries. But see, my position is like
- 31:42Speaker 1: Mike Lawler, who's in a neck-and-neck race against Kate Conley.
- 31:46Speaker 1: He supports ICE, which I do. He just says take
- 31:49Speaker 1: the mask off, give the ID, you know, ease up
- 31:53Speaker 1: on that. That's my position. And I think in this
- 31:56Speaker 1: particular case, without having the facts, I think when they
- 31:59Speaker 1: were doing this sweep for gangbangers and pedophiles.
- 32:02Speaker 2: They probably just checked him for tats. Because he was
- 32:04Speaker 2: there in front of the house.
- 32:05Speaker 1: If you have tats, it's pretty good.
- 32:09Speaker 2: You may well be affiliated with the gang.
- 32:11Speaker 4: Yeah, but obviously they're going to talk to him because
- 32:13Speaker 4: he's sitting out in front of the house.
- 32:15Speaker 2: They're about to raid. Understood.
- 32:16Speaker 4: Why is somebody just sitting on a bench by himself?
- 32:19Speaker 4: He was waiting for a friend to turn down.
- 32:20Speaker 1: Well, you have homework. Anyway, up next, this is like
- 32:24Speaker 1: Foreman Ali. Ali, remember, Muslim at the time, the black Muslim.
- 32:28Speaker 1: El-Sayed versus Rogers. Their debate the first time was rock'em, sock'em. Tonight,
- 32:34Speaker 1: last debate before the election, and it's neck and neck.
- 32:39Speaker 1: We'll carry that up next, but it's 7 o'clock in
- 32:42Speaker 1: the news.
- 32:43Speaker 4: It is one of the biggest races in the country,
- 32:46Speaker 4: certainly the one that is getting the most attention. It
- 32:49Speaker 4: is the Michigan Senate race between Dr. Abdul El-Sayed and
- 32:54Speaker 4: Mike Rogers, and it's It is one that is being
- 32:59Speaker 4: talked about in every other election in the country. El-Sayed
- 33:03Speaker 4: has become the poster boy for the Democratic Party. He's
- 33:06Speaker 4: the boogeyman. If he gets in, oh my God, everything's
- 33:09Speaker 4: going to go wrong. It's just like Zohra Mamdani when
- 33:13Speaker 4: he ran. Same fear stuff. And look, El-Sayed is a
- 33:18Speaker 4: really good candidate. What he believes in his affiliations are
- 33:22Speaker 4: a little bit scary. And now the press keeps pushing
- 33:26Speaker 4: him on several different things. And he is slick, man.
- 33:30Speaker 4: He really is slick. He can avoid topics by turning
- 33:33Speaker 4: the tables. And yet on CNN with Casey Hunt, who
- 33:37Speaker 4: I think is a tremendous journalist and a great interviewer.
- 33:41Speaker 4: She kept going after him on Israel, and I'm only
- 33:45Speaker 4: playing a part of this. She must have asked him
- 33:47Speaker 4: four times.
- 33:48Speaker 8: The question of Israel's existence is not a question. I'm
- 33:50Speaker 8: not going to play this gotcha game about whether or
- 33:53Speaker 8: not it has a right to exist. The question ultimately
- 33:56Speaker 8: is about whether or not we want a politics that dignifies...
- 33:58Speaker 8: You're not.
- 33:58Speaker 5: Going to play the gotcha game, but you're not going
- 34:00Speaker 5: to say you think Israel has.
- 34:01Speaker 7: A right to exist.
- 34:02Speaker 8: Well, my question, you know, Casey, I think the question
- 34:03Speaker 8: we all ought to ask is, does everybody have equal
- 34:07Speaker 8: rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination?
- 34:08Speaker 2: That's Jewish, Israelis, and Palestinians. See, he's slick. He really
- 34:13Speaker 2: is slick.
- 34:14Speaker 4: He will jump right on top of her and answer
- 34:17Speaker 4: a different question. But Jeremy Peters is a national reporter
- 34:22Speaker 4: for The New York Times, and he has been covering
- 34:24Speaker 4: the race for The New York Times, and he's noticed
- 34:27Speaker 4: something interesting.
- 34:28Speaker 11: One of the factors in this race that is really
- 34:31Speaker 11: worth paying closer attention to are the number of Democrats,
- 34:35Speaker 11: lifelong Jewish Democrats, especially in the Detroit suburbs, who are
- 34:40Speaker 11: are saying for the first time in their lives they're
- 34:42Speaker 11: voting Republican.
- 34:44Speaker 2: That's a big deal.
- 34:46Speaker 11: I don't know of any other marquee race in the
- 34:49Speaker 11: country right now where the Republican candidate is converting Democrats.
- 34:54Speaker 7: Right.
- 34:55Speaker 4: And it's also happening with black Democrats, Curtis. And so
- 34:58Speaker 4: it's going to be a fascinating race. There's so many
- 35:01Speaker 4: things at play here.
- 35:02Speaker 1: Well, I've spent a lot of time in Michigan organizing
- 35:05Speaker 1: Guardian Angels. So The demographics are very unique. The southern
- 35:10Speaker 1: part of the state and the northern part. The northern
- 35:12Speaker 1: part is Trump country, Hunter's. You know, there's still Trump,
- 35:16Speaker 1: do or die. That's why that bus tour that AOC,
- 35:20Speaker 1: all out crazy, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took with El Saeed to
- 35:24Speaker 1: the Upper Peninsula would.
- 35:25Speaker 2: Tell us a lot.
- 35:26Speaker 1: But we haven't gotten much news about that because that's
- 35:29Speaker 1: not a friendly crowd to either El Saeed or to AOC.
- 35:32Speaker 1: That's a Rogers crowd. Now you go south, Wayne County,
- 35:35Speaker 1: which encompasses Detroit. And as you know from your own
- 35:40Speaker 1: experiences in Philadelphia about vote tabulations, corrupt. The history of
- 35:46Speaker 1: the Detroit Democratic machine, which is controlled by African Americans
- 35:50Speaker 1: now and Wayne County, very corrupt. So if you notice now,
- 35:54Speaker 1: they're all focused on the southern tier. Wayne County, Detroit,
- 35:58Speaker 1: where the bulk of the votes are. Obama is coming
- 36:01Speaker 1: in for al-Said to try to shore up the African
- 36:03Speaker 1: American vote at the end of the week. And who's
- 36:07Speaker 1: going into the Upper Peninsula? You're on. It's Donald Trump
- 36:11Speaker 1: at the end of the week to secure the MAGA
- 36:14Speaker 1: Republican vote for Rogers. But the bottom line is... This
- 36:19Speaker 1: is right out of the Zoran Mandami Cuomo playbook. As
- 36:22Speaker 1: you know, having interviewed me many times in the campaign,
- 36:25Speaker 1: I barely talked about Jews and Muslims, anti-Semitism and Islamophobia,
- 36:30Speaker 1: because I never felt that's a priority for a mayor.
- 36:34Speaker 1: A mayor's got so many other things to do. Hey,
- 36:36Speaker 1: you want to deal with that? Run for president, Congress, U.S.
- 36:38Speaker 7: Senate.
- 36:39Speaker 2: Mayor? You got nothing. You know, I'm going to arrest Bibi.
- 36:42Speaker 2: That's specious. And then Cuomo, you know, Israel first. Stop it.
- 36:47Speaker 2: But they're doing the same thing.
- 36:49Speaker 4: But I agree that it's not important to be a mayor.
- 36:53Speaker 4: And it is important to be a senator. But not
- 36:55Speaker 4: as important as other issues. I agree with everything you said.
- 36:59Speaker 4: But it's important in a campaign. Oh, yeah.
- 37:01Speaker 1: Except I disagree with the New York Times guy. The
- 37:04Speaker 1: weight of the Jewish vote.
- 37:06Speaker 2: The percentages. Let me give you the percentages.
- 37:08Speaker 1: One and a half percent of the total vote in
- 37:12Speaker 1: Michigan is Jewish, all in the South Tier.
- 37:16Speaker 2: Two percent are Muslims.
- 37:18Speaker 1: The other unknown factor, and they're going to vote for Al-Said,
- 37:22Speaker 1: and he knows this, are the Christian Palestinians, Lebanese, the Chaldeans.
- 37:29Speaker 1: It's a sizable group of them. And so add another
- 37:32Speaker 1: one percent to the two percent of Muslims. You know
- 37:34Speaker 1: they're all coming out. That's not the bulk of the vote.
- 37:37Speaker 1: The bulk of the vote are mostly people like you, me,
- 37:40Speaker 1: and Natalie. Whites, they're either liberal or progressive, or they're
- 37:44Speaker 1: Trumpers or they're moderates, and they haven't quite figured it
- 37:48Speaker 1: out because, you know, it comes down to some of
- 37:50Speaker 1: the basic other issues. They couldn't give a flying flip
- 37:53Speaker 1: about Israel and AIPAC and, you know, Muslims. They're talking
- 37:59Speaker 1: bread and butter issues. That's really what it's going to be.
- 38:02Speaker 1: And if it's real neck and neck and close... You
- 38:05Speaker 1: know people are going to scream, let's say Rodgers loses
- 38:08Speaker 1: in a very close.
- 38:08Speaker 2: Oh, election theft. Election theft in Wayne County in Detroit.
- 38:12Speaker 4: I actually think Rodgers is going to win, not only
- 38:15Speaker 4: because that they under-evaluate Republicans in the polls, but because El-Sayed,
- 38:22Speaker 4: if you remember in the primary, he was supposed to
- 38:24Speaker 4: win by six points, five points, and he just barely won.
- 38:28Speaker 2: They didn't call it till the next day. The weekend before,
- 38:31Speaker 2: they had a pool party....
- 38:34Speaker 1: Doing a pre-celebration because they thought they were going to
- 38:36Speaker 1: kill the congresswoman.
- 38:37Speaker 4: The poll said he was going to.
- 38:38Speaker 2: 1% he won by. Yep.
- 38:41Speaker 7: 1%.
- 38:41Speaker 1: And he has decided to shoot the dice with the
- 38:45Speaker 1: help of the Democratic Party. He went on record and said,
- 38:49Speaker 1: Israel is not an American ally. Israel is not our friend.
- 38:53Speaker 1: Mike Rogers, completely different. Israel is our number one friend
- 38:58Speaker 1: in the Middle East. That is our ally. He's taking
- 39:01Speaker 1: AIPAC money. man, and they don't like one another in
- 39:04Speaker 1: that first debate. First time they were arguing during the
- 39:09Speaker 1: commercial breaks. They couldn't break them up. These guys really
- 39:12Speaker 1: detest one another. I'm going to be watching the whole
- 39:14Speaker 1: debate tonight.
- 39:15Speaker 4: No, it's going to be amazing. It's going to be
- 39:18Speaker 4: a tremendous debate. I think everybody's going to be watching.
- 39:20Speaker 4: But at this point in the campaign, at this point
- 39:23Speaker 4: in the campaign, there's very, very few undecided votes. So
- 39:29Speaker 4: when you hear it, taking these positions even stronger than
- 39:33Speaker 4: they have before, it's because right now it's getting out
- 39:38Speaker 4: that vote. You kind of know who's going to vote
- 39:41Speaker 4: for you at this point and who's not going to
- 39:43Speaker 4: vote for you. And you've got to play to those voters.
- 39:47Speaker 4: You've got to play to those sections of voters around
- 39:51Speaker 4: the state by making certain you say what they want
- 39:55Speaker 4: to hear. And that's why Trump's going to go there
- 39:57Speaker 4: so late, so late in the process. He's saving this
- 40:00Speaker 4: till the end. Because he's got to get out the vote.
- 40:03Speaker 4: He's got to get out that MAGA vote. Because usually
- 40:06Speaker 4: less than 50% vote in the midterms. I think it's
- 40:09Speaker 4: going to be more this year, but less than 50% vote.
- 40:11Speaker 4: So you've got to get the vote out.
- 40:13Speaker 1: The two superstars of their parties will be there on
- 40:16Speaker 1: this coming weekend, the end. You know, we're winding down.
- 40:21Speaker 1: Trump in the North sector with all the MAGA votes.
- 40:24Speaker 1: And Barack Obama to get out the African-American vote. That's
- 40:27Speaker 1: the only questionable vote at this time. It's not a
- 40:31Speaker 1: guaranteed slam dunk for Al-Said as it normally would be
- 40:34Speaker 1: before a Democrat. They're having their reservations. Some have already
- 40:39Speaker 1: moved to Rogers, but a lot of them are like
- 40:41Speaker 1: of that theory. I'll never vote for a Republican. They
- 40:44Speaker 1: may just stay home. And Barack Obama's goal is to
- 40:48Speaker 1: excite them and get them to come out because the
- 40:50Speaker 1: likelihood is they'll end up voting Democrat.
- 40:53Speaker 4: Yeah, you've seen all the focus groups with the black voters.
- 40:55Speaker 4: They just don't like him.
- 40:56Speaker 1: Yes.
- 40:57Speaker 4: They don't like him.
- 40:57Speaker 2: So you're right. You're right.
- 40:59Speaker 4: They have to get him out there to try to
- 41:01Speaker 4: get out the black vote. It is going to be
- 41:05Speaker 4: fascinating because– and here's why it's so important. This is
- 41:08Speaker 4: why Trump's going. This is why Barack Obama's going. If
- 41:12Speaker 4: the Republicans didn't take Michigan– they're probably going to save
- 41:15Speaker 4: the Senate. If they can take Michigan, they're probably going
- 41:18Speaker 4: to save the Senate because they already have a three-vote
- 41:23Speaker 4: lead on them, six votes altogether if you count the
- 41:26Speaker 4: addition and subtraction. So listen, this is the race. This
- 41:32Speaker 4: is the race in the country. I know all the
- 41:34Speaker 4: other ones we've talked about are close and they're going
- 41:37Speaker 4: to be interesting as well.
- 41:39Speaker 2: But if Michigan goes, so goes the country.
- 41:42Speaker 1: And remember, from our perspective, AOC said if Al-Said wins, we,
- 41:47Speaker 1: meaning we, DSA, even though he says I'm not DSA, we, DSA,
- 41:51Speaker 1: can win anywhere. She'll run for president. If he loses,
- 41:55Speaker 1: let's say by 5% or 6%, she'll probably just say,
- 41:59Speaker 1: I got you, Masid. There's no way he can beat
- 42:01Speaker 1: me in a primary. I'm extrapolating that. The other thing is,
- 42:04Speaker 1: you'll like this, because... You like the compilation that comes from,
- 42:08Speaker 1: what is that, Clear Politics? Real Clear Politics. They now
- 42:12Speaker 1: have the Republican candidate in Minnesota ahead, you know, the
- 42:16Speaker 1: sportscaster female. from ESPN against the Lieutenant Governor, the Democrat.
- 42:21Speaker 1: That was considered a shoo-in for the Democrats to replace Amy,
- 42:27Speaker 1: I'm forgetting her name, who's running for governor. That she's
- 42:30Speaker 1: a shoo-in. Right, Klobuchar's a shoo-in for governor, although they
- 42:33Speaker 1: have a great black GOP candidate running against her. Probably
- 42:37Speaker 1: she won't win against Klobuchar. But now they are predicting
- 42:42Speaker 1: the Republican will win because the Lieutenant Governor is being
- 42:45Speaker 1: attached like an appendage. To tampon Tim, the outgoing governor. Oh, wow.
- 42:50Speaker 4: Yeah, well, she was involved in all of that fraud,
- 42:53Speaker 4: and she's trying to now push it away from her.
- 42:56Speaker 4: She's trying to say, no, no, no, I had nothing
- 42:58Speaker 4: to do with that.
- 42:59Speaker 2: No, they haven't.
- 43:00Speaker 4: You should see the ads. We should play one of
- 43:01Speaker 4: them in the days to come, one of the ads
- 43:04Speaker 4: up there. That's all they're talking about.
- 43:05Speaker 1: Oh, and she also, it's a cultural war because she
- 43:07Speaker 1: wears the shirt, you know, Transgender Kids Matter or something
- 43:11Speaker 1: like that. And that's become a divisive issue. So, boy,
- 43:15Speaker 1: that's another race that nobody ever thought would be neck
- 43:18Speaker 1: and neck.
- 43:19Speaker 4: And we're going to be on election night from 7
- 43:22Speaker 4: until 11 or midnight.
- 43:24Speaker 2: Which are we going to, 11 or midnight?
- 43:26Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 43:27Speaker 2: Whatever. I think it's 11 o'clock. But let me ask
- 43:30Speaker 2: you this.
- 43:31Speaker 1: You normally, for our program in the morning, where you
- 43:33Speaker 1: put in more hours than anyone else, because you're here early,
- 43:36Speaker 1: you're doing all the pre-show stuff, you normally drink 15
- 43:40Speaker 1: cups of caffeinated coffee. So are we looking at a
- 43:43Speaker 1: world record, maybe 30 or 45 within the course of
- 43:46Speaker 1: the day?
- 43:46Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 43:47Speaker 4: Like here, there's other people to cover for me. I
- 43:49Speaker 4: don't know if I can urinate that much. I think
- 43:53Speaker 4: I'm going to have to cut down just in case.
- 43:56Speaker 7: So.
- 43:57Speaker 4: No, I'm looking forward to it. I've never missed an
- 43:58Speaker 4: election night, and I'm really looking forward to it.
- 44:00Speaker 1: Well, Larry, to your credit, you have found the best
- 44:03Speaker 1: political ad yet coming up next from New Hampshire. I've
- 44:08Speaker 1: seen a lot of them, but you played it for
- 44:11Speaker 1: me during the show prep. There's no doubt this is
- 44:14Speaker 1: the best campaign ad ever, plus a chance to see
- 44:19Speaker 1: Journey at 825.
- 44:21Speaker 2: See it all.
- 44:22Speaker 4: Well, in the history of political ads, there's been some
- 44:24Speaker 4: great ones, some that have won presidential elections, others in
- 44:30Speaker 4: local municipalities that have changed the course of that municipality.
- 44:34Speaker 4: But this one, this radio ad that is playing in
- 44:39Speaker 4: Maine right now on the radio is the funniest, maybe
- 44:44Speaker 4: the edgiest thing ad i've ever heard and this is
- 44:49Speaker 4: paid for by the senate leadership fund a republican super
- 44:53Speaker 4: pack it's a little surprising it comes basically from the
- 44:58Speaker 4: republican party once you hear it oh let's hear it now.
- 45:01Speaker 3: Come on why don't we get political ads like that over.
- 45:06Speaker 1: Here well that's what That's the main race, obviously one
- 45:11Speaker 1: of the most contested, where they had five debates in
- 45:15Speaker 1: nine days, a total of six in total, since the lumberjack,
- 45:20Speaker 1: Troy Jackson, replaced Platner. Who was out of control, you know,
- 45:24Speaker 1: the oyster guy. But that was amazing because.
- 45:29Speaker 2: All of it's true. Yes, yes.
- 45:32Speaker 4: He did have sex with his cousins. He did have
- 45:34Speaker 4: children with his cousins. And so I guess that's what
- 45:38Speaker 4: you do in Maine.
- 45:39Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 45:39Speaker 2: You want to hear the second half of the ad? Yes,
- 45:41Speaker 2: of course.
- 45:41Speaker 6: Never heard anything like that in my life.
- 45:43Speaker 2: Isn't that amazing?
- 45:44Speaker 1: Now, there are some Italians who may object because they've
- 45:47Speaker 1: known to marry their first cousins.
- 45:50Speaker 2: I'm not going to mention any names here, but. Oh,
- 45:52Speaker 2: you know some names?
- 45:54Speaker 20: Curtis.
- 45:54Speaker 2: Rudy Giuliani.
- 45:56Speaker 9: Oh.
- 45:57Speaker 1: And there are other Italians I know where that hasn't
- 46:00Speaker 1: necessarily been verboten.
- 46:02Speaker 2: Now it is.
- 46:03Speaker 4: I don't think it is in Maine either.
- 46:05Speaker 1: Well, we can go. What do you think? The three-eyed
- 46:08Speaker 1: cousin fornicators? Is that what you're calling?
- 46:10Speaker 22: I don't know.
- 46:11Speaker 2: Lumberjack? They get awfully lonely out in those woods, you know?
- 46:14Speaker 2: Your cousins just look pretty good.
- 46:16Speaker 1: The reason it's such a good ad is it's not
- 46:18Speaker 1: just the message of the song.
- 46:20Speaker 2: But the tune. Yeah, it's going to stick with you.
- 46:23Speaker 2: The exactly right. It's a hummable tune. People will be
- 46:26Speaker 2: singing this song.
- 46:27Speaker 4: That's the problem.
- 46:28Speaker 2: When they go to the polls, they'll have that song
- 46:30Speaker 2: in their head. Now, that's very creative.
- 46:31Speaker 1: Now, in New Hampshire nearby, you have John Sununu running
- 46:35Speaker 1: as a Republican, replacing Shaheen, who is the Democrat.
- 46:39Speaker 2: He's saying, I'm not a Republican. I'm an independent. What
- 46:43Speaker 2: are you talking about? Your whole family. Your daddy was
- 46:46Speaker 2: a Republican. You've been a Republican. But his dad was
- 46:48Speaker 2: pretty independent as well.
- 46:49Speaker 4: I mean, it's a whole different political culture when you
- 46:53Speaker 4: get up to Vermont and Maine and New Hampshire. Everybody
- 46:57Speaker 4: seems to be an independent. Let's get some talkbacks.
- 47:00Speaker 7: Larry, Curtis, we need a PSA from you. That pajamas
- 47:04Speaker 7: and sweatpants being worn all day does not cure fatigue.
- 47:09Speaker 7: Act like a human. Dress like a human. And be productive.
- 47:13Speaker 7: Best medicine there is.
- 47:16Speaker 2: PJs and sweats.
- 47:17Speaker 1: Now, Fetterman is best known as the guy who broke
- 47:21Speaker 1: that whole Senate code of dress. He wears his sweatpants.
- 47:25Speaker 1: It's less and less now. But when he was running against,
- 47:27Speaker 1: I am.
- 47:28Speaker 2: Dressed like Dr.
- 47:30Speaker 1: Oz.
- 47:30Speaker 2: I'm dressed meticulously. That really didn't hurt him.
- 47:34Speaker 4: I'll tell you what. Because of my kids, I go
- 47:37Speaker 4: to college campuses. You know how many of them go
- 47:39Speaker 4: to class in pajama pants? It's like a big deal
- 47:43Speaker 4: now to wear these flannel pajama pants everywhere.
- 47:47Speaker 2: Is that a signal that they'd like to sleep with
- 47:49Speaker 2: somebody in that class? I don't think so.
- 47:50Speaker 6: I think they just want to be sleeping.
- 47:52Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it.
- 47:53Speaker 4: That's exactly it. They had no time to change.
- 47:56Speaker 23: Curtis, I'm a Knicks fan too, and I saw a
- 47:59Speaker 23: different game. I don't think the 76ers are all that great. Yeah,
- 48:03Speaker 23: we lost 106-100, first game of many, many, many games
- 48:07Speaker 23: in the season.
- 48:07Speaker 2: You know that.
- 48:08Speaker 23: But Our bench was beating the 76ers.
- 48:11Speaker 4: For most of that game. Our bench.
- 48:14Speaker 2: They should have left the bench in there. We would
- 48:16Speaker 2: have beat them. Ah, keep hope alive. That's a real
- 48:19Speaker 2: Knicks fan.
- 48:20Speaker 1: You're not going to bench your starting five. And if
- 48:23Speaker 1: the starting five can't keep up with the opposition's backcourt,
- 48:27Speaker 1: that is going to be flying down the court because
- 48:30Speaker 1: their big guy in the hole is going to get
- 48:32Speaker 1: the rebound and flick it down. Brunson and his partner
- 48:36Speaker 1: in the backcourt cannot keep up with the flying Wallenders.
- 48:38Speaker 4: Oh, I'll say this to his point. The Knicks won
- 48:41Speaker 4: the first quarter, they won the second quarter, and they
- 48:43Speaker 4: won the fourth quarter. They lost the game in the
- 48:46Speaker 4: third quarter. And I know that you're not even supposed
- 48:49Speaker 4: to look at that because it doesn't really matter, but man,
- 48:52Speaker 4: something happened after the halftime. Let's get to Daria Albinger
- 48:56Speaker 4: with the 7.30 news.
- 48:58Speaker 2: Morning, guys.
- 48:58Speaker 16: Bright, cool, and breezy today. We'll see a high of
- 49:00Speaker 16: 66 degrees. Road rage may be behind a deadly drive-by
- 49:04Speaker 16: shooting on the GWB last night, which tied up traffic
- 49:07Speaker 16: for hours. Police say the victim had a gunshot wound
- 49:10Speaker 16: to the head when he was pulled from the vehicle.
- 49:12Speaker 16: A search is on for three men that police say
- 49:14Speaker 16: attacked and robbed a woman who was riding her bike
- 49:17Speaker 16: in Central Park Sunday night.
- 49:19Speaker 24: The victim says she was riding her bike in Central
- 49:21Speaker 24: Park when three men emerged out of bushes, hit her
- 49:24Speaker 24: in the head, and then went after her valuables. The
- 49:27Speaker 24: attack happened in a dark area near West 93rd Street
- 49:30Speaker 24: and West Drive.
- 49:31Speaker 25: It hit me and I just felt it. And the
- 49:33Speaker 25: first thought in my mind was like, my family, my mom,
- 49:36Speaker 25: it was my life.
- 49:37Speaker 19: I fought back.
- 49:38Speaker 20: I hit two hits and another guy grabbed me and
- 49:40Speaker 20: took my book bag.
- 49:41Speaker 24: Police have released new video of the suspects in hopes
- 49:44Speaker 24: the public can identify them. I'm Scott Pringle, WOR News.
- 49:47Speaker 16: President Trump will head to South Carolina tonight, two weeks
- 49:50Speaker 16: to the midterm elections. The feds are investigating several adult
- 49:54Speaker 16: daycare centers in the area as part of a larger
- 49:56Speaker 16: probe into alleged health care fraud.
- 49:58Speaker 17: Officers carried boxes out of a site in Sunset Park
- 50:01Speaker 17: and conducted enforcement actions at multiple other facilities on Tuesday.
- 50:05Speaker 10: The FBI has joined an interagency working group dedicated to
- 50:09Speaker 10: immediately disrupting and dismantling billion-dollar health care fraud schemes and
- 50:14Speaker 10: the money laundering networks that enable them.
- 50:17Speaker 17: Governor Hochul said it is part of a joint effort
- 50:19Speaker 17: with the White House targeting providers who improperly bill Medicaid
- 50:22Speaker 17: and engage in other illegal acts. The FBI is asking
- 50:26Speaker 17: for the public to send in any tips of possible
- 50:28Speaker 17: fraud at tips.fbi.gov. I'm Lizzie Radabali, WOR News.
- 50:34Speaker 16: Anthropic is reportedly drafting regulations which would set a limit
- 50:37Speaker 16: on how many people might die because of a rogue
- 50:40Speaker 16: AI agent. Politico says the company suggests a new AI
- 50:43Speaker 16: model might be blocked from distribution. if it could lead
- 50:47Speaker 16: to more than 50 deaths or cause more than a
- 50:49Speaker 16: billion dollars in damages. Knicks lose to Philadelphia. Nets open
- 50:52Speaker 16: their season tonight against Charlotte. The Devils and the Islanders win.
- 50:56Speaker 16: Next news, 8 o'clock, bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger
- 50:59Speaker 16: on 710WOR.
- 51:02Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Daria.
- 51:03Speaker 4: When we come back, well, tech has been dominating the
- 51:08Speaker 4: political landscape. Let's talk to Rich DeMuro about that. From
- 51:12Speaker 4: Rich on Tech. when WOR's morning show continues. I can't
- 51:17Speaker 4: wait to talk to our tech guy, Rich DeMuro, because
- 51:20Speaker 4: he was at Zoomtopia. I didn't even know Zoomtopia existed
- 51:23Speaker 4: until I just read about it from Rich DeMuro, but
- 51:26Speaker 4: I'm fascinated by it. And I'll tell you why, but
- 51:29Speaker 4: let me just tell you, Rich on Tech is heard
- 51:31Speaker 4: Sunday nights from 8 to 11 on WOR. You can
- 51:35Speaker 4: also reach out to Rich yourself at Rich on Tech
- 51:39Speaker 4: on Instagram. So Zoomtopia, I guess, is a conference they
- 51:44Speaker 4: have for Zoom, but this one apparently is about AI.
- 51:49Speaker 4: And here's the question I want you to answer, Rich,
- 51:52Speaker 4: and you might've got this from Zoomtopia. Can I get
- 51:57Speaker 4: an AI version of myself to pretend I'm at these
- 52:00Speaker 4: Zoom meetings so that I don't have to attend them?
- 52:05Speaker 21: Good morning to you, Larry. Yeah, so here's the deal.
- 52:08Speaker 21: So number one, Zoomtopia, I went because the irony was
- 52:11Speaker 21: not lost on me that this company that does virtual
- 52:13Speaker 21: meetings has this big in-person conference.
- 52:16Speaker 2: And I said, okay, I.
- 52:17Speaker 21: Have to go to that and see what it's all about.
- 52:19Speaker 21: So yeah, they announced a whole bunch of features. And
- 52:21Speaker 21: the first thing that the onstage of the CEO of
- 52:25Speaker 21: Zoom came out, and the first question the presenter asked
- 52:28Speaker 21: them was, She said, why didn't you send your virtual avatar?
- 52:32Speaker 21: Isn't that much easier than being here in person? And
- 52:34Speaker 21: he said, well, it's much cheaper for me to be
- 52:36Speaker 21: here in person because a virtual avatar costs money. So
- 52:39Speaker 21: the answer to your question is, yes, you can have
- 52:41Speaker 21: a custom avatar. Go to your Zoom meetings. I'm looking
- 52:44Speaker 21: at the Zoom website right now. It's $ 16. 50 a month
- 52:48Speaker 21: for the first four months, and then it's $ 22 a month.
- 52:51Speaker 2: But here's the thing.
- 52:52Speaker 21: They announced all kinds of new features for Zoom at
- 52:55Speaker 21: this event. One of them, and this didn't even occur
- 52:58Speaker 21: to me, is basically a deep fake detection. So it
- 53:02Speaker 21: can detect if someone in your meeting is fake, is
- 53:06Speaker 21: not a real person. I mean, this is where we
- 53:08Speaker 21: are in 2026.
- 53:08Speaker 2: They ruin everything.
- 53:12Speaker 4: That would have been wonderful to have an avatar.
- 53:15Speaker 2: Think about it. Yeah. All the bad Zoom meetings you've
- 53:18Speaker 2: been on.
- 53:19Speaker 1: And how many guys' careers could have been saved when
- 53:21Speaker 1: they were on the Zoom during the lockdown and pandemic
- 53:24Speaker 1: when they were found with their pants off and they
- 53:26Speaker 1: were stimulating themselves?
- 53:28Speaker 2: You remember that, Rich?
- 53:30Speaker 21: Oh, do I remember that? I mean, I was asking
- 53:32Speaker 21: the Zoom folks, like, this brand got their name from
- 53:36Speaker 21: the pandemic, right? Like, everyone in the world uses Zoom.
- 53:39Speaker 21: I think what they're trying to do now is like
- 53:41Speaker 21: move past that idea of like, oh, when I do
- 53:43Speaker 21: a video call, it's Zoom.
- 53:45Speaker 2: No, they want to be everything.
- 53:46Speaker 21: I mean, at this event, they had all kinds of
- 53:48Speaker 21: new features that they showed off, including this one's wild.
- 53:53Speaker 21: It touches up your look. Okay, we know we can
- 53:56Speaker 21: do that on Zoom. But now they've got one that
- 53:59Speaker 21: touches up your voice. So if you have a heavy accent,
- 54:02Speaker 21: you can actually toggle a switch and it will smooth
- 54:04Speaker 21: out your accent, which to me is wild. There's one
- 54:07Speaker 21: called Pose Correction. So Larry, if you're looking at your
- 54:10Speaker 21: notes down on your paper next to your screen, it
- 54:13Speaker 21: will actually make it look as if you're still looking
- 54:15Speaker 21: at your camera and engaging with people. So yeah, you
- 54:18Speaker 21: can pretty much check out of your meetings and still
- 54:20Speaker 21: look like you're engaged at this point.
- 54:22Speaker 2: And only $ 16 a month?
- 54:25Speaker 6: Larry's looking into the budget right now.
- 54:28Speaker 1: You know, remember Rich, Larry, and Natalie when Ariana Huffington
- 54:33Speaker 1: was like the go-to guest for years, you know, with
- 54:36Speaker 1: Huffington Post? I can never understand what the hell that
- 54:39Speaker 1: woman was talking about because of her accent.
- 54:41Speaker 2: So this would have made her more understandable?
- 54:46Speaker 21: One click.
- 54:46Speaker 2: One click.
- 54:47Speaker 21: And I asked Zoom. I said, look, I go... Did
- 54:49Speaker 21: you think this was a little controversial to put in
- 54:51Speaker 21: a feature that, you know, smooths out an accent? And
- 54:54Speaker 21: they said, no, this is optional. You turn it on.
- 54:57Speaker 21: You don't turn it on for other people. You turn
- 54:59Speaker 21: it on for yourself. And they're saying, look, if it
- 55:01Speaker 21: makes it easier to communicate with people worldwide, there you go.
- 55:04Speaker 21: I mean, they also introduced features that like live translate.
- 55:07Speaker 21: I mean, just so much stuff. But to me, the
- 55:09Speaker 21: thing that really stuck with me is they want you
- 55:11Speaker 21: to do everything through Zoom. And it kind of records
- 55:14Speaker 21: and makes notes about every single conversation you have. So
- 55:17Speaker 21: then you can kind of go in and ask questions
- 55:19Speaker 21: later about anything that you've ever mentioned in a meeting,
- 55:22Speaker 21: which is kind of smart.
- 55:23Speaker 1: Now, Rich, my household, like so many now in America,
- 55:27Speaker 1: is the bane to cable and network programming because my wife, Nancy,
- 55:32Speaker 1: the millennial, cut the cord.
- 55:34Speaker 2: So what I do is I depend on.
- 55:36Speaker 1: My stream because the smartphone knows pretty much now what
- 55:41Speaker 1: I want to look at. And I mean, it floods
- 55:44Speaker 1: me with the cuts, the cuts. But AI has gotten
- 55:48Speaker 1: so good. No, it's not SI. AI has gotten so good.
- 55:52Speaker 1: I can no longer tell what's a fugazi fake and
- 55:56Speaker 1: what's real.
- 55:57Speaker 2: Shouldn't there be something on.
- 56:00Speaker 1: That feed that says this is AI generated?
- 56:05Speaker 21: You know, look, there are tools on both sides. Like
- 56:08Speaker 21: if you scroll through Instagram or Facebook, if you look
- 56:12Speaker 21: real close up at the top by the person's name
- 56:14Speaker 21: that posted it, it will say AI content. If you
- 56:17Speaker 21: go on X or Twitter, whatever they're calling it these days,
- 56:20Speaker 21: it'll say AI generated in some aspects. So they are
- 56:24Speaker 21: looking for flags inside images and videos when people upload
- 56:27Speaker 21: them to show people that, hey, look, this was made
- 56:30Speaker 21: with AI. The problem is there are equally a whole
- 56:34Speaker 21: bunch of tools online that can remove those signals in
- 56:36Speaker 21: about five seconds. And so you can upload your image
- 56:40Speaker 21: or video that was created with AI and and it
- 56:42Speaker 21: will wipe out that watermark on the back end. These
- 56:45Speaker 21: are things that you can't see with the human eye,
- 56:47Speaker 21: but computer systems look for. But there are lots of
- 56:50Speaker 21: websites that just remove those watermarks off the file. So
- 56:55Speaker 21: it's a cat and mouse game. At the end of
- 56:57Speaker 21: the day, I think you just have to use your
- 56:59Speaker 21: sense and understand that, like, is this too good to
- 57:02Speaker 21: be true?
- 57:03Speaker 2: Is this real?
- 57:04Speaker 21: There's a photo of Taylor Swift going around this week
- 57:07Speaker 21: of her pregnant, and I almost sent it to my wife.
- 57:10Speaker 21: I was like, hold on, let me fact check this
- 57:12Speaker 21: for one second before I send this. And sure enough,
- 57:14Speaker 21: it was like, nope, totally fake.
- 57:16Speaker 4: Yeah, the pictures are almost undetectable with the videos that
- 57:19Speaker 4: are made by AI. The big tell on them, and
- 57:22Speaker 4: you tell me if you've seen this too, the big
- 57:25Speaker 4: tell on them are the voices.
- 57:28Speaker 2: They're almost too clear.
- 57:31Speaker 21: Yes. And there's this scam going around on YouTube and
- 57:35Speaker 21: other social media networks where basically People email me all
- 57:38Speaker 21: the time saying, hey, Rich, I want to buy an AirTag,
- 57:40Speaker 21: but I don't want to pay that much, so I
- 57:41Speaker 21: found this random AirTag brand, and here's a video about it.
- 57:45Speaker 21: And I watch the video, and these people, they upload
- 57:48Speaker 21: AI-created videos with a reviewer that's like, hi, I am
- 57:52Speaker 21: reviewing the new AirTag 3000, and it is excellent. And
- 57:56Speaker 21: I'm like, this is fake. And there's like 100 of
- 57:59Speaker 21: those videos. They just flood the web with it so
- 58:01Speaker 21: that these systems find them, take them down, and more
- 58:04Speaker 21: go up.
- 58:04Speaker 2: Now, Rich, most Americans like me just want simpler tech.
- 58:09Speaker 2: What can be done to achieve that? Because it seems
- 58:12Speaker 2: it's getting more and more complicated. Oh, I agree.
- 58:16Speaker 21: And imagine my life where I'm testing 10,000 gadgets a day.
- 58:19Speaker 21: So it is very complicated. In my home, there's just
- 58:22Speaker 21: a whole bunch of stuff that I'm either testing or
- 58:25Speaker 21: just finishing testing or getting ready to set up the
- 58:27Speaker 21: next thing. but they did a poll quad in the
- 58:30Speaker 21: Harris poll. 75% of Americans want a simpler relationship with
- 58:34Speaker 21: technology and they feel like that's an upgrade, not a sacrifice.
- 58:37Speaker 21: And so I think what happens is people like the
- 58:40Speaker 21: idea of going off social media for a little bit.
- 58:43Speaker 21: So you don't have to do it every day. Maybe
- 58:45Speaker 21: take a Sunday, take a couple hours of the day,
- 58:47Speaker 21: just leave your phone at home, make sure your loved
- 58:50Speaker 21: ones can get in touch with you. Or if you're
- 58:51Speaker 21: with them, that's when I find you can really disconnect.
- 58:54Speaker 21: When I'm with my wife and two kids, And, you know,
- 58:57Speaker 21: I know everything's good in the world. Well, that's debatable.
- 58:59Speaker 21: But you know what I mean? They're all there. And
- 59:01Speaker 21: I can say, okay, let's leave the phone behind for
- 59:04Speaker 21: a couple minutes and just be engaged here. It'll make
- 59:06Speaker 21: you feel better.
- 59:07Speaker 2: I appreciate that, Rich DeMuro.
- 59:09Speaker 1: It's Rich on Tech, heard every Sunday night from 8
- 59:13Speaker 1: to 11 here on the number one talk station in
- 59:15Speaker 1: New York, 710WOR. Appreciate that once again. We'll be with
- 59:20Speaker 1: you same time, same place next week. But up next,
- 59:23Speaker 1: Natalie Migliore in the streets about our New York state
- 59:27Speaker 1: governor's race, which apparently is tightening up, Blakeman versus Hochul.
- 59:32Speaker 1: But is it the talk of the town yet? Find
- 59:35Speaker 1: out by listening up next. Now, it's 710WOR Speed on
- 59:42Speaker 1: the Street with Natalie Migliore.
- 59:45Speaker 4: Well, we have a governor's race.
- 59:48Speaker 2: Are people paying attention?
- 59:50Speaker 4: Let's find out from Natalie Migliore, WOR reporter with us
- 59:54Speaker 4: every day at this time for her beat on the street.
- 59:58Speaker 2: So are people excited about this election?
- 1:00:01Speaker 26: You know, if I had a dollar for every time
- 1:00:03Speaker 26: I asked somebody if they were paying attention to the
- 1:00:06Speaker 26: specific New York governor race, I'd be broke. So wouldn't
- 1:00:12Speaker 26: even be able to get something out of the vending
- 1:00:14Speaker 26: machine here.
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: No joke. Oh, that's so sad.
- 1:00:17Speaker 19: Wouldn't even be able to get one of Curtis's honey buns.
- 1:00:22Speaker 26: Yeah, it's really interesting out there on the streets because
- 1:00:25Speaker 26: there are several races happening. But one of the biggest
- 1:00:28Speaker 26: is the governor's race where Democratic incumbent Kathy Hochul is
- 1:00:32Speaker 26: taking on Republican challenger and Nassau County exec.
- 1:00:36Speaker 19: Bruce blakeman so the million.
- 1:00:38Speaker 26: Dollar question at this point because you only need one
- 1:00:41Speaker 26: who is paying attention.
- 1:00:43Speaker 20: Well i'm looking for a change so i'm hoping for
- 1:00:46Speaker 20: uh blakeman to get in.
- 1:00:48Speaker 27: I already voted so yeah but i'm not playing close
- 1:00:51Speaker 27: attention i mean i voted.
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: For governor hopeless pick somebody else are you.
- 1:00:56Speaker 26: Paying attention at all to midterms i am think how
- 1:00:58Speaker 26: do you think it's all going to shake out who knows.
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: That's what I have to say. Who knows? We have
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: our hopes, but we have our dreams also. Okay. Well,
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: I've actually been kind of hearing more about the midterms, right?
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: Is it the same thing?
- 1:01:16Speaker 19: How civically engaged.
- 1:01:20Speaker 26: First, we have somebody who is giving us poetry, and
- 1:01:26Speaker 26: then next we have somebody who's wondering what the midterms are.
- 1:01:29Speaker 19: Now, the midterms are.
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: Just the.
- 1:01:32Speaker 26: General term we use when elections are taking place at
- 1:01:35Speaker 26: the two year mark of any president's administration.
- 1:01:39Speaker 19: This time it's President Trump's.
- 1:01:40Speaker 26: It's considered the face off between two major parties as
- 1:01:43Speaker 26: Republicans look to keep control of Congress this time around.
- 1:01:48Speaker 26: Just taking it to the streets, it seems like people
- 1:01:50Speaker 26: are paying more attention to the congressional races and things
- 1:01:53Speaker 26: that really impact Congress.
- 1:01:55Speaker 19: Federal policies in a sense, and that's informing.
- 1:01:57Speaker 26: How they vote in New York's, wait for it, gubernatorial race.
- 1:02:02Speaker 19: You know, I love that word. Like this Hochul voter.
- 1:02:06Speaker 27: More people who would be less inclined to vote for
- 1:02:10Speaker 27: her would probably sway toward her because they're so fed
- 1:02:13Speaker 27: up with what's going on. The corruption, the incompetence, to
- 1:02:17Speaker 27: name a few.
- 1:02:17Speaker 5: I would like to see integrity, telling the truth, facts-based...
- 1:02:23Speaker 5: policies to come into vogue again because right now we
- 1:02:27Speaker 5: don't deal in reality. We don't deal in facts and
- 1:02:29Speaker 5: we don't deal in truth.
- 1:02:31Speaker 12: Policies are despicable. They're ruining the country. We've never been
- 1:02:35Speaker 12: at this point of crisis before. I can't wait till
- 1:02:39Speaker 12: the people are seated after the midterms. That's my concern.
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: That's a hocus pocus.
- 1:02:45Speaker 12: Right.
- 1:02:46Speaker 19: Absolutely.
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: Without saying Trump. That's what she was inferring.
- 1:02:50Speaker 4: Exactly.
- 1:02:51Speaker 19: You hit the nail on the head. And that's what
- 1:02:53Speaker 19: you see, though.
- 1:02:53Speaker 26: People are passionately walking around, particularly Manhattan. You don't really
- 1:02:59Speaker 26: get a lot of, you know, Midtown people coming in
- 1:03:02Speaker 26: and out from different places. So they have different political
- 1:03:04Speaker 26: views in a sense. But some days it just hits different.
- 1:03:09Speaker 4: I had a much different tell than you had. It
- 1:03:11Speaker 4: was when my people are seated. So they're not seated
- 1:03:15Speaker 4: now and you want them to take over Congress. Democrats.
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: Democrats. She used code language. Yep.
- 1:03:22Speaker 26: Well, experts say it's likely the Democrats take back the House,
- 1:03:26Speaker 26: but something New York City residents seem to be hoping for.
- 1:03:29Speaker 26: This New Yorker, though, she's tuned into what needs to
- 1:03:32Speaker 26: be done on a city level, a state level, and
- 1:03:35Speaker 26: how the governorship would actually impact her with no intention
- 1:03:40Speaker 26: of voting for Hochul.
- 1:03:41Speaker 20: I don't like anything about her, actually. So I'm looking,
- 1:03:45Speaker 20: I'm going to the other guy. I'm just hoping for
- 1:03:48Speaker 20: somebody who will try to fix some things that are
- 1:03:51Speaker 20: going on in the city, like electricity and stuff like that.
- 1:03:55Speaker 20: I mean, Con Ed is ridiculous, so... You know, totally
- 1:04:00Speaker 20: crazy in the summer, paying $ 400 for a studio is insane.
- 1:04:03Speaker 27: I mean, I think she's doing a good enough job.
- 1:04:07Speaker 27: I certainly not going to vote for her counterpart, Republican counterpart. And,
- 1:04:11Speaker 27: you know, I want to see the city continue to flourish.
- 1:04:14Speaker 27: And I want the governor to have the people's interests
- 1:04:17Speaker 27: at heart rather than their own, unlike our president.
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: Boy, that first contributor there.
- 1:04:22Speaker 4: Yes.
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: Hit the third rail.
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: The energy costs, your electricity bill, and coming up after you,
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: we're going to be talking about how Blakeman was at
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: the border with Pataki, the last Republican governor, talking about
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: how we should be fracking to lower energy costs.
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: That's very important to the voters now.
- 1:04:44Speaker 26: Yeah, it's definitely when it hits pockets, when it hits
- 1:04:47Speaker 26: their public safety, people pay attention to that. The interesting
- 1:04:51Speaker 26: thing is just the differences in the approach between parties.
- 1:04:56Speaker 26: But you could see the unhappiness that people have with
- 1:04:58Speaker 26: the federal level or the happy, whatever, they let that
- 1:05:04Speaker 26: impact how they're going to vote on the local.
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: Well, I do appreciate it. Natalie Migliore will be back
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: with us. Same time, same place tomorrow at 7.50. Well,
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: this week it didn't get.
- 1:05:14Speaker 4: A lot of attention, but... 28 foreign nationals were uncovered
- 1:05:20Speaker 4: by the Trump administration, by federal prosecutors, because they were
- 1:05:26Speaker 4: green card holders, but they were also registered to vote.
- 1:05:31Speaker 4: So they found fraudulent voter registration and they turned it
- 1:05:36Speaker 4: in and they had a press conference and they made
- 1:05:38Speaker 4: a big deal about it saying, see what we found,
- 1:05:40Speaker 4: we found 28. And the attorney general of the state
- 1:05:44Speaker 4: of California said, laughed it off and said, that's a
- 1:05:49Speaker 4: drop in the bucket, as if any voter fraud is okay.
- 1:05:53Speaker 4: But what's worse than that is they only looked through
- 1:05:56Speaker 4: 20,000 voters, voter registration, only 20,000, and they found 23.
- 1:06:02Speaker 4: There's 23 million people in California. If you extrapolate that,
- 1:06:09Speaker 4: we're talking about 25,000 voters. That can change elections. This
- 1:06:15Speaker 4: attitude towards verifying who people are when they vote by
- 1:06:21Speaker 4: the Democrats is getting infuriating. Do you know that most
- 1:06:26Speaker 4: states require some type of voter ID? Most states do.
- 1:06:31Speaker 4: 36 states do. Most of them do. Of the ones
- 1:06:35Speaker 4: that don't require really anything is New Jersey, New York,
- 1:06:40Speaker 4: and California.
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: California.
- 1:06:43Speaker 4: And all of them are Democratic states, with some of
- 1:06:47Speaker 4: them being run by Democrats, but they flip back and
- 1:06:50Speaker 4: forth sometimes, like Arizona. There is just simply no reason
- 1:06:57Speaker 4: when every American wants this. When I say every American,
- 1:07:00Speaker 4: I'm talking 80 to 90 percent that poll after poll
- 1:07:04Speaker 4: after poll shows. They want free and fair elections. Americans
- 1:07:09Speaker 4: want this. And so why is the Democratic Party so
- 1:07:15Speaker 4: against it? I mean, in fighting the SAVE Act, it
- 1:07:18Speaker 4: is ridiculous. And the things they made up that it
- 1:07:21Speaker 4: was like Jim Crow again, it is nothing like Jim Crow.
- 1:07:24Speaker 4: Having somebody to show up and prove their identity is,
- 1:07:29Speaker 4: as a matter of fact, an antithesis of Jim Crow,
- 1:07:33Speaker 4: where you had to pay a poll tax to And
- 1:07:37Speaker 4: then women, apparently it's very difficult for women. They're not
- 1:07:41Speaker 4: smart enough to get their birth certificates.
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: Come on.
- 1:07:45Speaker 4: This is about cheating. That's all it can be about.
- 1:07:49Speaker 4: There's no other reason unless the Democrats believe this is
- 1:07:53Speaker 4: going to benefit them. But this is just the latest
- 1:07:56Speaker 4: in a whole series. We just talked about Pennsylvania the
- 1:07:58Speaker 4: other day, 2,400 uncovered in Lancaster County.
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: And New Jersey. Yeah, New Jersey, 6,000 in New Jersey.
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: So you're spot on.
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: 23 million eligible voters in California out of a population
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: of 40 million. That's like the largest state, almost a
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: little less than doubling Texas, which is the fastest growing state.
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: We know there are a lot of illegal aliens in California.
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: Los Angeles, there are more illegal aliens than legal people. So,
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: I'm proud of initiative in referendum. I promote that. Where
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: people get to vote instead of the elected officials. In
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: that case, in Sacramento, here in Albany, or New Jersey,
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: in Trenton. Because the citizens went out and got their signatures.
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: Not an easy task. Because the opposition tries to knock
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: off the qualified signatures. So on one of the propositions
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: in California, one of the bluest of all states, the citizens,
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: when they go to vote for the governor this time
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: or the mayor. in LA or the other congressional districts
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: that are up for grabs, get to vote for initiative
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: and referendum which they're used to doing in California and
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: Arizona they're the best when it comes to that which
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: would prohibit citizens from voting unless they present government issue ID.
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: Now we know the majority of the people in California
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: Democrat but that goes along with the national polls that
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: say the majority obviously of Republicans and yes even Democrats
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: are are in favor of, yeah, when you go to vote,
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: you should show a government ID. And when you go
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: to the poll, if for any reason you left it
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: at home, you misplaced it, they have something called an affidavit.
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: It's different.
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: It's not an absentee ballot. It's not a mail-in ballot.
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: It's an affidavit. You fill it out there. They put
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: it in a special box, which they can then check
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: to see if, in fact, you are valid to vote.
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: And sometimes a lot of these very close elections, Those
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: affidavits can be the deciding factor.
- 1:10:01Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely.
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: So look at all these potentially neck-and-neck close races. And
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: we know some of them will end up, maybe just
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: a few hundred votes, separate the adversaries. Now more than ever,
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: I'm hoping that California puts this initiative into effect. Even
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: though the governor went out of his way and that
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: same attorney general who left, oh.
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: That's not a lot. Yeah, he's right.
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: It's not a lot. There's a lot more illegal aliens
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: voting in California. And the will of the people prevails
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: because the Democrats will challenge that in court. They'll try
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: to tie it up in that. I've always said the
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: people united will never be defeated. I know that's like
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: a left wing turn, but I believe that because the
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: people there in California have had it, including Democrats.
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you.
- 1:10:48Speaker 4: I'm also really fascinated about New Jersey because you'll remember
- 1:10:52Speaker 4: when Mikey Sherrill, and I'm glad you brought that up,
- 1:10:55Speaker 4: when Mikey Sherrill came out and said there was 6,600
- 1:10:59Speaker 4: erroneously registered voters, people who shouldn't be in the country,
- 1:11:03Speaker 4: who were registered to vote. And then she said, and yes,
- 1:11:08Speaker 4: this has been around for the last two elections and
- 1:11:11Speaker 4: nobody caught it. And so she's done her job in
- 1:11:15Speaker 4: trying to fix that up. I will give her credit
- 1:11:18Speaker 4: for that, that she said it and that she's been
- 1:11:20Speaker 4: trying to fix it. But then the federal government said, well,
- 1:11:24Speaker 4: that's really interesting. Can we see all your voter rolls?
- 1:11:27Speaker 4: Because we'd like to go through them. And she took
- 1:11:30Speaker 4: them to court. She said, no, absolutely not. You can't
- 1:11:33Speaker 4: see our voter rolls. Now, why? Why can't the federal
- 1:11:38Speaker 4: government look at your voter roll? So this is in
- 1:11:40Speaker 4: court right now, and this is going to be a
- 1:11:42Speaker 4: huge court case, by the way, because if they get
- 1:11:45Speaker 4: the right to look at New Jersey's voter rolls, especially
- 1:11:50Speaker 4: if it goes to the Supreme Court, they'll be able
- 1:11:52Speaker 4: to do that across the country.
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: Incredibly imperative that we know that when the vote is
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: being cast, it's only people eligible. Now, will there be
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: an occasional one or two or three you'll get through?
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: Yeah, of course not.
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: But let's face it, California, which is flush with illegal aliens,
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: and the Democrats are encouraging them to register because, look,
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: all you got to do is show up with a
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: Verizon bill.
- 1:12:15Speaker 2: You don't have to show up with, I get a Verizon.
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: Bill at, you know, Sepulveda here, 2042 Sepulveda in the
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: San Fernando.
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: It's all you need.
- 1:12:25Speaker 11: Come on.
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: Most illegals are not going to go and vote, but enough.
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: could turn an election.
- 1:12:31Speaker 4: Absolutely.
- 1:12:32Speaker 8: Absolutely.
- 1:12:32Speaker 4: Especially some local elections, especially some congressional elections. I mean,
- 1:12:37Speaker 4: the vote totals are pretty big when it comes to
- 1:12:39Speaker 4: the statewide elections and the federal elections, but at a
- 1:12:42Speaker 4: congressional election, it can be a hundred some votes and
- 1:12:44Speaker 4: it can be really close.
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: Oh sure.
- 1:12:46Speaker 4: It's happened time and time again. So no, you're absolutely right.
- 1:12:50Speaker 4: I still remember the first time I was in a
- 1:12:52Speaker 4: state that you couldn't show your voter ID. and I
- 1:12:57Speaker 4: went to vote and I took out my license, you'd
- 1:12:59Speaker 4: think I pulled a gun.
- 1:13:00Speaker 2: The way they reacted, they said, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- 1:13:04Speaker 2: You're right.
- 1:13:04Speaker 4: No, please put that away.
- 1:13:06Speaker 12: All right.
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: So if you go, no matter where you're listening to this,
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: because we have a nationwide impact, WOR710, so powerful a
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: signal and also on the stream. You go in there,
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: and if they give you a hard time, demand an
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: affidavit ballot because they're not going to resolve it there,
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: especially if you go on the day of the vote.
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: It's a little too crowded. You fill out the affidavit ballot.
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: They put it in a special box. It will be counted,
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: especially if it's a neck-and-neck race, but it will be
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: counted afterwards. They just have to check if you don't
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: have the, a lot of times people, I forgot.
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: You fill out the affidavit, demand that it's not an
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: absentee ballot. It's not a mail-in ballot. It's called an
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: affidavit because you got to swear to it.
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: You know, right there. I am the person that I
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: claim to be with potential penalties. If in fact you're
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: proven to be a fugazi.
- 1:14:00Speaker 4: Several of these cases right now that we've been talking
- 1:14:03Speaker 4: about are headed towards through the court systems and headed
- 1:14:06Speaker 4: towards the Supreme court. please pay attention to them. In
- 1:14:10Speaker 4: the past, anything that has to do with voting, the
- 1:14:13Speaker 4: Supreme Court has sided with the states because, you know,
- 1:14:16Speaker 4: in the Constitution, it says anything that's not explicitly given
- 1:14:21Speaker 4: to the federal government goes to the states, and they
- 1:14:23Speaker 4: didn't say anything about voting and how to vote, so
- 1:14:26Speaker 4: the states get that. However, I'm really interested when it
- 1:14:30Speaker 4: comes to federal elections because you would think that the
- 1:14:34Speaker 4: federal government should, that's under their purview, And I would
- 1:14:38Speaker 4: think that the federal government would have some say in
- 1:14:41Speaker 4: the federal elections. So I want to know why no
- 1:14:45Speaker 4: one in a lawsuit has separated the two, because I
- 1:14:48Speaker 4: believe if you separate federal elections, you might be able
- 1:14:52Speaker 4: to get it done. You might be able to get
- 1:14:54Speaker 4: it up to the Supreme Court and have them side
- 1:14:56Speaker 4: with you. I mean, it's really a Hail Mary, I'll
- 1:14:59Speaker 4: tell you the truth, because in the past they have
- 1:15:01Speaker 4: not done it.
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: You can make that argument according to the Constitution. You know,
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: state rights prevail. Okay, got it. Pennsylvania does its own thing.
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: You know, California does its own thing. Some clearly are
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: very effective. Others give you pause to think, is there
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: corruption going on? Especially when they're counting mail-in ballots 10
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: days a week. And they don't let anybody in.
- 1:15:27Speaker 4: How about that in Atlanta and in Philadelphia?
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: Oh, no, you can't come in. You can't take a
- 1:15:33Speaker 2: look at this.
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: And in this very contentious election in Michigan, which we
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: talked about earlier in the 7 o'clock hour, Wayne County,
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: which incorporates Detroit, where most of the votes are, has
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: a history of ballot corruption. It's controlled by the Democratic machine. So, yeah,
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: let's hope that in California... It prevails, that ballot initiative,
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: because if it could prevail in a blue state like California,
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: so overwhelmingly blue, where even Democrats and independents cross that
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: marginal line and say, no, the Republicans are absolutely right.
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: The majority of the people in the United States want
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: to prohibit people from voting who do not present a
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: government issue I.D. And there are other alternatives if, in fact,
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: you show up and you don't have that government I.D.
- 1:16:23Speaker 4: When we come back, well, there was this great hope,
- 1:16:27Speaker 4: this great hope that Amelia Earhart, the mystery of what
- 1:16:30Speaker 4: happened to her, was finally solved. Well, doesn't sound like
- 1:16:35Speaker 4: it's going to, and giant crabs may be the reason.
- 1:16:40Speaker 4: We'll explain when we come back, plus a chance to
- 1:16:42Speaker 4: see Journey next. Now, you may have heard a lot
- 1:16:46Speaker 4: over the last few weeks about the spotting of Amelia
- 1:16:51Speaker 4: Earhart's plane. It was satellite imagery of something that looked
- 1:16:55Speaker 4: like a plane. When you looked at the imagery, off
- 1:16:58Speaker 4: of a remote island that they believe she crashed on. Remember,
- 1:17:04Speaker 4: she had this ambitious goal way back in 1937 to
- 1:17:08Speaker 4: become the first female pilot to circle the globe. And
- 1:17:12Speaker 4: she was to land on an island, and this one
- 1:17:15Speaker 4: is near it, where she was going to refuel, and
- 1:17:18Speaker 4: this remote island is near it. So it all made sense.
- 1:17:21Speaker 4: But now the expedition that went there said, no, the
- 1:17:25Speaker 4: material that they saw from the satellite imagery is washed away.
- 1:17:29Speaker 4: They believe it was just trees, and it looked like
- 1:17:33Speaker 4: a plane. But they still believe she may have gone
- 1:17:37Speaker 4: onto that island.
- 1:17:39Speaker 2: And the theory is.
- 1:17:41Speaker 4: that she and another person went on that island, and
- 1:17:46Speaker 4: that was her navigator, Fred Noonan, went on that island,
- 1:17:50Speaker 4: and listen to this, that they were consumed, they were
- 1:17:54Speaker 4: eaten by giant crabs. Now, if you think to yourself,
- 1:17:59Speaker 4: what are giant crabs? How big can the crabs be?
- 1:18:02Speaker 4: You can go to 710WOR. We have video of one
- 1:18:05Speaker 4: of these crabs. Now, imagine hundreds of them. There are
- 1:18:08Speaker 4: huge crabs with big claws. And on the island, they
- 1:18:14Speaker 4: have found the bones, the remains of 13 people. So
- 1:18:19Speaker 4: the mystery continues. The navigation continues. But I agree with Natalie.
- 1:18:26Speaker 4: This is a movie in the making. Whether that theory
- 1:18:29Speaker 4: is true or not, the idea of giant crabs that
- 1:18:33Speaker 4: can eat you, that's a horror movie waiting to be made.
- 1:18:36Speaker 19: Absolutely.
- 1:18:37Speaker 3: I mean, usually we're eating the crabs, which is a
- 1:18:40Speaker 3: lot of work.
- 1:18:41Speaker 6: I've never tried– it's a lot of work to eat
- 1:18:42Speaker 6: a crab. It's not a lot of payoff.
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: I know.
- 1:18:45Speaker 4: And the people that get the buckets of Maryland crabs
- 1:18:47Speaker 4: and then eat them.
- 1:18:49Speaker 6: I do it every year.
- 1:18:50Speaker 2: You do it too? We go crabbing. Oh, don't tell Nancy.
- 1:18:54Speaker 12: Shh.
- 1:18:55Speaker 4: Oh, man.
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: Well, she doesn't listen to us. She listens to Elvis Duran, Z100.
- 1:19:00Speaker 2: She grew up with them. I want Nancy to like me.
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: Remember the 50s B-grade movies? You know, they were so bad,
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: but they were so good you wanted to watch. The
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: Invasion of the Giant Flesh-Eating Crabs.
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: Oh, they got off the island. They got onto a
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: boat and got off the island and made it to L.A.
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: The Coconut Crabs. There you go.
- 1:19:21Speaker 6: And the Coconut Crabs sound so cute.
- 1:19:23Speaker 19: Until you see it.
- 1:19:25Speaker 2: Well, the giant part.
- 1:19:26Speaker 20: Yeah.
- 1:19:26Speaker 4: The giant coconut crabs.
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: Let me give credit to the only one here Monday
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: through Friday who does more than a three-hour shift.
- 1:19:33Speaker 2: Every show is three hours. George Nooney.
- 1:19:37Speaker 9: Looney.
- 1:19:37Speaker 7: Nooney.
- 1:19:38Speaker 2: Some call him Looney. Coast to coast at night. It's
- 1:19:42Speaker 2: 1 to 6.
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: I listen from time to time when I'm doing the
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: show prep starting at about 1.30, 2 o'clock in the morning.
- 1:19:49Speaker 2: He's covered this. The disappearance of.
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: Amelia Earhart, every conceivable conspiracy involving that.
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: And yeah, he even had the giant flesh-eating crabs.
- 1:20:02Speaker 6: I keep watching this video. I've got to stop that.
- 1:20:04Speaker 2: That's freaking me out.
- 1:20:05Speaker 4: Let's get to some talkbacks.
- 1:20:07Speaker 9: I'd like to thank Natalie Migliore for interviewing the white, liberal,
- 1:20:12Speaker 9: insufferably ignorant women in New York City who voted for Hochul.
- 1:20:18Speaker 9: It's absolutely incredible how ignorant they are.
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: Curtis, would you like to comment? That ain't going to
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: help Bruce Blakeman.
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: If there is one area that Hochul has an advantage,
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: it's with women. And Bruce Blakeman is making strides because
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: he is pro-choice. He's always been pro-choice. You wouldn't want
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: to call them ignorant. You would just say they haven't
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: been exposed enough to Bruce Blakeman, who is a much
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: improved candidate now.
- 1:20:48Speaker 9: Hi, this is Natalie Migliore coming to you live from
- 1:20:52Speaker 9: the annual Karen Convention right here in New York City.
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: That is crazy. Is she going to get a secret radio?
- 1:21:03Speaker 16: Say, how do you know I'm a real person and
- 1:21:07Speaker 16: not some avatar or robotic voice?
- 1:21:12Speaker 2: We don't.
- 1:21:13Speaker 4: Yeah, but the robotic voices are awful. You can always tell.
- 1:21:16Speaker 4: You really can tell. That's how you can tell the
- 1:21:18Speaker 4: fakes online.
- 1:21:19Speaker 13: You know, for a while, we were all walking encyclopedia
- 1:21:23Speaker 13: Britannicas because of Google. We could answer any question at
- 1:21:28Speaker 13: our fingertips. But now, with AI, we're becoming walking Ripley's
- 1:21:34Speaker 13: Believe It or Not.
- 1:21:36Speaker 4: Whom do you trust?
- 1:21:37Speaker 9: Wow.
- 1:21:38Speaker 2: That was good.
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: He might win the sheet crane radio. Ripley's Believe It
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: or Not with AI.
- 1:21:44Speaker 2: I think that was George Norrie.
- 1:21:46Speaker 4: Now, Daria Albinger with the 830 News.
- 1:21:48Speaker 2: Daria.
- 1:21:48Speaker 20: Morning, guys.
- 1:21:49Speaker 16: Bright, cool, and breezy today. We'll see a high of
- 1:21:52Speaker 16: 66 degrees. Police say road rage may be behind last
- 1:21:56Speaker 16: night's deadly drive-by shooting on the GWB. It led to
- 1:21:59Speaker 16: a crash, which tied up traffic in the Jersey-bound lanes
- 1:22:02Speaker 16: for hours. Officers say the victim had a gunshot wound
- 1:22:04Speaker 16: to the head when he was pulled from the vehicle. Well,
- 1:22:07Speaker 16: in this case, the check was not in the mail
- 1:22:09Speaker 16: because postal inspectors say the mail carrier swiped it.
- 1:22:13Speaker 17: Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced on Monday that 41-year-old
- 1:22:17Speaker 17: Nicole Bernard and a second employee only identified as Hazard
- 1:22:21Speaker 17: were arraigned on two separate indictments for allegedly stealing a
- 1:22:24Speaker 17: total of nearly $ 15, 000. Some of the charges the two
- 1:22:29Speaker 17: are facing include grand larceny and possession of a forged instrument.
- 1:22:33Speaker 17: Both suspects were released without bail and are due back
- 1:22:35Speaker 17: in court in December. I'm Lizzie Radabali, WOR News.
- 1:22:39Speaker 16: A new report says Elon Musk ordered the Starlink satellite slowdown,
- 1:22:42Speaker 16: which impacted the Ukrainian military last week. The Wall Street
- 1:22:45Speaker 16: Journal is reporting that Musk, who owns Starlink, capped the
- 1:22:48Speaker 16: speeds at which Ukrainian hardware could stay connected to the network,
- 1:22:51Speaker 16: and that crippled some drones. The report also says Musk
- 1:22:54Speaker 16: discussed it with President Trump. Well, the president will be
- 1:22:57Speaker 16: back on the campaign trail again today. He's traveling to
- 1:22:59Speaker 16: South Carolina with less than two weeks to go to
- 1:23:01Speaker 16: the midterms. If you are going to set sail on
- 1:23:05Speaker 16: vacation next year, you're not alone. The AAA is predicting
- 1:23:08Speaker 16: a record 22 million Americans will go on a cruise,
- 1:23:12Speaker 16: and you will pay more than passengers ever have before.
- 1:23:15Speaker 16: especially on one line.
- 1:23:16Speaker 28: Carnival Cruise Lines is facing criticism for using so-called dynamic
- 1:23:20Speaker 28: pricing to charge for add-ons like beverage packages and Wi-Fi plans.
- 1:23:24Speaker 28: Prices will vary based on the itinerary and season. Carnival
- 1:23:28Speaker 28: says these enhancements give guests greater flexibility and more options
- 1:23:31Speaker 28: for tailoring their Carnival vacation experience.
- 1:23:34Speaker 16: That's ABC's Sophie Flay. The Knicks lost to Philadelphia. The
- 1:23:37Speaker 16: Nets opened their season tonight against Charlotte. The Devils and
- 1:23:40Speaker 16: the Islanders won. Next news, 9 o'clock bulletins at once.
- 1:23:43Speaker 16: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: Oh, congratulations to Jason Ricada from Trumbull, Connecticut. You just
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: won a pair of tickets to see Journey, November 7th
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: in Nassau Coliseum. Tickets on sale now at Ticketmaster.com. You
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: have another chance to win tomorrow at 825. Up next,
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: my very dear friend George Pataki, the last Republican governor
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: of the state of.
- 1:24:08Speaker 2: New York, joined... Oh yeah.
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: Blakeman, his campaign talking about fracking for natural gas will
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: bring energy bills down. He couldn't be more hopelessly correct.
- 1:24:21Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, these stories happen every week. A
- 1:24:24Speaker 4: five-year-old girl's life was saved. When she was choking, she
- 1:24:28Speaker 4: apparently inhaled a rock and they couldn't save her.
- 1:24:32Speaker 2: This is in Michigan.
- 1:24:34Speaker 4: And they tried everything and first responders showed up and
- 1:24:37Speaker 4: luckily they had a life back in the car. And
- 1:24:41Speaker 4: they saved her life. They dislodged the rock. It was
- 1:24:45Speaker 4: easy once they got the life back. And now they're
- 1:24:48Speaker 4: going to require them at all schools in Michigan. It's
- 1:24:51Speaker 4: going up through the legislature there. I'm not sure why
- 1:24:54Speaker 4: it doesn't happen here because, you know, in a situation
- 1:24:58Speaker 4: like that, seconds matter. That's why I want to tell
- 1:25:01Speaker 4: you about LifeVac. It's the first and only FDA-authorized suction
- 1:25:06Speaker 4: anti-choking device to be used for second-line treatment when recommended
- 1:25:11Speaker 4: choking protocols have been followed without success. LifeVac has helped
- 1:25:16Speaker 4: save over 6,500 lives worldwide, and we're hearing these stories
- 1:25:21Speaker 4: every single day. Real families, real people getting second chances
- 1:25:27Speaker 4: because people are prepared.
- 1:25:29Speaker 7: Are you?
- 1:25:30Speaker 4: Well, go to lifevac.net. That's lifevac.net. You just visit lifevac.net
- 1:25:36Speaker 4: and you can see how you are going to be
- 1:25:38Speaker 4: ready and your family will be ready when it counts. Well,
- 1:25:42Speaker 4: Bruce Blakeman, Curtis and I both agree, when he started
- 1:25:46Speaker 4: his run for governor, he stumbled coming out of the block.
- 1:25:50Speaker 4: But man, has he found his stride now. I think
- 1:25:54Speaker 4: he was excellent. I think he easily won that debate,
- 1:25:57Speaker 4: the only debate they had.
- 1:25:59Speaker 2: And now his message over and over and over again are.
- 1:26:05Speaker 4: Energy costs because there's no way she gets out of this.
- 1:26:09Speaker 4: 48 times, 48 times she has raised energy rates. And
- 1:26:15Speaker 4: Bruce Blakeman says he hears it all the time. People
- 1:26:18Speaker 4: are really suffering.
- 1:26:20Speaker 1: As I walk down the street here, people are telling
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: me wherever I go, how expensive their utility bills are.
- 1:26:27Speaker 2: We've got to get back to common sense. Yeah, common sense.
- 1:26:30Speaker 2: It's an easy fix.
- 1:26:31Speaker 4: I've lived in state after state after state where they've
- 1:26:34Speaker 4: had natural gas pipelines, where they've had fracking.
- 1:26:36Speaker 2: You know what they don't have? High taxes. You know
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: what they don't have?
- 1:26:40Speaker 4: High energy rates. And that's what he wants to do here.
- 1:26:45Speaker 4: He came out of the box saying, let's do fracking.
- 1:26:48Speaker 22: We could start fracking tomorrow on the southern tier in
- 1:26:52Speaker 22: New York. We've got one of the largest natural gas
- 1:26:54Speaker 22: reserves in the world. Increase our energy supply by a
- 1:26:58Speaker 22: tremendous level and cut our utility bills in half.
- 1:27:02Speaker 4: By the way, Hochul blames everything on Trump. All your
- 1:27:06Speaker 4: energy costs went up because of Trump. That is an
- 1:27:09Speaker 4: absolute lie. It didn't happen in this state. It was
- 1:27:12Speaker 4: solely because of her and her green policies. And the
- 1:27:16Speaker 4: only thing she can say about Bruce Blakeman is, oh,
- 1:27:20Speaker 4: my God, it is going to be like Armageddon.
- 1:27:24Speaker 25: Picture his vision for New York. Hyperscale data centers all
- 1:27:28Speaker 25: over New York State. Smokestacks building out of fossil fuel
- 1:27:33Speaker 25: generated power plants. as well as oil rigs and fracking
- 1:27:38Speaker 25: rigs everywhere.
- 1:27:42Speaker 2: Fracking, when natural gas, out of all the possible fossil
- 1:27:47Speaker 2: fuels that you could use that is the least, that
- 1:27:51Speaker 2: gives out the least amount of pollution, is natural gas.
- 1:27:54Speaker 2: Everybody knows that.
- 1:27:55Speaker 1: She's lumping it all in as if they're burning coal
- 1:27:57Speaker 1: down at the border in New York State with Pennsylvania.
- 1:28:00Speaker 4: Yeah, you're born and raised in Pennsylvania, been through a
- 1:28:03Speaker 4: lot of governors, because I always pay attention to what's
- 1:28:07Speaker 4: going on. I've been through a lot of governors. This
- 1:28:10Speaker 4: has been an issue for decades. Natural gas. There's this
- 1:28:13Speaker 4: huge supply, just like New York. There is a huge
- 1:28:16Speaker 4: supply of natural gas. A Republican governor gets in, they frack.
- 1:28:21Speaker 4: A Democratic governor gets in, they put a moratorium on it.
- 1:28:25Speaker 4: And then when they put a moratorium on, energy costs
- 1:28:28Speaker 4: go up. and prices go up and taxes go up. Same,
- 1:28:32Speaker 4: it happened two or three times. Now we have a
- 1:28:35Speaker 4: democratic governor in Josh Shapiro and Josh Shapiro said, nope,
- 1:28:41Speaker 4: fracking is good with me. And he has not raised taxes.
- 1:28:45Speaker 4: Energy rates have dropped. See, because not only do you
- 1:28:49Speaker 4: use the natural gas in your homes around Pennsylvania, but
- 1:28:53Speaker 4: you've set up pipelines and you're sending the natural gas
- 1:28:56Speaker 4: out and you're selling it. And the taxes that come
- 1:28:59Speaker 4: in are a goldmine to the state of Pennsylvania, and
- 1:29:05Speaker 4: so you don't have to get increased taxes. That's what
- 1:29:08Speaker 4: you're looking at with natural gas in New York. And
- 1:29:11Speaker 4: so if you were going to vote on one issue
- 1:29:13Speaker 4: in New York, I think that should be your issue.
- 1:29:16Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely.
- 1:29:17Speaker 1: And look, when it came to nuclear power, she had
- 1:29:20Speaker 1: to inherit and to evilize Cuomo shutting down Indian Point.
- 1:29:24Speaker 2: And it takes a while to build a nuclear power plant.
- 1:29:26Speaker 2: Got it. But natural gas, she could have gone right
- 1:29:30Speaker 2: into fracking because, again, it was Andrew E. Velazquez Cuomo.
- 1:29:32Speaker 2: No fracking. You go along.
- 1:29:35Speaker 1: The shale area there in the southern border between Pennsylvania,
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: it's like on one side people are driving new cars.
- 1:29:42Speaker 1: Their homes are assessed at a higher level than even
- 1:29:45Speaker 1: New York State. Parts of that southern shale look like
- 1:29:49Speaker 1: Appalachia upstate. You know, where people have just vacated. No jobs,
- 1:29:53Speaker 1: no income, no taxable properties. They'll come in and they'll
- 1:29:59Speaker 1: frack and they'll pay you money on your property. And
- 1:30:02Speaker 1: you all of a sudden, it's worth that much money?
- 1:30:04Speaker 1: It's almost like, remember the Beverly Hillbillies? He goes out,
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: he shoots black gold.
- 1:30:09Speaker 2: There it is.
- 1:30:10Speaker 1: Next stop, Beverly Hills. I will tell you this much.
- 1:30:14Speaker 1: My dad explained to me fracking, because obviously... Merchant seaman,
- 1:30:18Speaker 1: a lot of years, the 50 years he was on
- 1:30:20Speaker 1: oil tankers, he goes, you know, when Bush left Connecticut
- 1:30:24Speaker 1: and went down the wildcat with a lot of other
- 1:30:26Speaker 1: people in the 30s.
- 1:30:27Speaker 2: And 40s, that's what they were doing.
- 1:30:30Speaker 1: They were buying old wells that they thought had dried
- 1:30:33Speaker 1: up because they couldn't afford a new well, you know,
- 1:30:36Speaker 1: only the big companies sent.
- 1:30:38Speaker 2: And they would frack.
- 1:30:39Speaker 1: Fracking has been going on in Oklahoma and Texas since
- 1:30:43Speaker 1: the tail end of the Depression. So we act here like, oh,
- 1:30:46Speaker 1: fracking is going to cause earthquakes, and then all of
- 1:30:49Speaker 1: a sudden it's going to poison the water. That's nonsense.
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: And Pennsylvania is a perfect example of that.
- 1:30:54Speaker 7: Right.
- 1:30:55Speaker 4: And even Mikey Sherrill now says she will get a
- 1:30:58Speaker 4: pipeline from Pennsylvania because she needs to bring down energy costs.
- 1:31:02Speaker 4: She made that her goal. She said that in the campaign,
- 1:31:05Speaker 4: made that a promise. So she's talking about building a
- 1:31:08Speaker 4: pipeline into New Jersey to get natural gas from Pennsylvania.
- 1:31:12Speaker 4: You don't even need a pipeline here. You could have
- 1:31:14Speaker 4: a pipeline that sends natural gas out to other states
- 1:31:18Speaker 4: and make a fortune out of it.
- 1:31:20Speaker 2: It is insane. Insane.
- 1:31:24Speaker 4: By the way, think back of the most recent fracking
- 1:31:27Speaker 4: accidents because they say it's unsafe. There hasn't been one.
- 1:31:31Speaker 4: It doesn't happen. That was all bogus. That documentary, do
- 1:31:35Speaker 4: you remember the documentary where the person started the faucet
- 1:31:39Speaker 4: and flames came out?
- 1:31:40Speaker 2: That's right. That was made up.
- 1:31:42Speaker 4: That was completely made up. That was propaganda. That wasn't
- 1:31:46Speaker 4: a documentary. And they've been suffering. The industry has been
- 1:31:50Speaker 4: suffering because of that ever since. None of that was true.
- 1:31:55Speaker 4: Nothing in that documentary was true. It's been proven to
- 1:31:58Speaker 4: be bogus.
- 1:31:58Speaker 2: It won awards. They've taken the awards back.
- 1:32:01Speaker 1: As you said, Larry, just go down near the southern border,
- 1:32:04Speaker 1: the shale line, which goes into Pennsylvania and New York.
- 1:32:08Speaker 2: Go from one. side of the border to the other it's.
- 1:32:12Speaker 1: Like night and day trailer parks on the new york
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: state side houses in disrepair a lot of the people
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: fleeing down in florida texas south carolina you look to
- 1:32:22Speaker 1: the pennsylvania you're gonna sell your house are you kidding
- 1:32:26Speaker 1: this is a gold mine here i'm not going what
- 1:32:29Speaker 1: about the winters.
- 1:32:30Speaker 2: Doesn't matter. Life is great here.
- 1:32:33Speaker 4: Yeah, but not only do the people, and they do
- 1:32:35Speaker 4: get rich, not only do the people get rich that
- 1:32:38Speaker 4: are in that area, but the whole state.
- 1:32:40Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:32:40Speaker 4: The whole state profits. So New York City would profit.
- 1:32:44Speaker 4: Your energy bills would go way down. If you wanted
- 1:32:47Speaker 4: one reason to vote for Bruce Blakeman, even if you're
- 1:32:50Speaker 4: a Democrat, this is the reason, because it's going to
- 1:32:53Speaker 4: save you a lot of money. and it eliminates the
- 1:32:55Speaker 4: need for future taxes.
- 1:32:57Speaker 2: Look, people open up their energy bills.
- 1:32:59Speaker 1: You remember that day, Astorino and I opened up our
- 1:33:02Speaker 1: energy bills on the very same day, and our eyeballs
- 1:33:05Speaker 1: fell out of our sockets. I don't care if you're Democrat, Republican,
- 1:33:09Speaker 1: or Independent, whether you're a business owner, property owner, or
- 1:33:12Speaker 1: a tenant. Your energy bills here because only 30% of
- 1:33:17Speaker 1: your energy bill that you pay goes to pay for
- 1:33:20Speaker 1: the energy. The other 70% is in fees and taxes.
- 1:33:25Speaker 1: Just completely outrageous. She could have changed that. She decided
- 1:33:29Speaker 1: to add on to the misery that Andrew Evil Eyes
- 1:33:31Speaker 1: Como gave us.
- 1:33:33Speaker 2: Well.
- 1:33:34Speaker 4: Curtis was the first person to come up with the
- 1:33:37Speaker 4: idea for vintage-style electric carriages. And guess who's stealing that
- 1:33:42Speaker 4: idea now? We'll tell you when we come back. Curtis,
- 1:33:47Speaker 4: what a great idea this is, huh? City Council Councilwoman
- 1:33:51Speaker 4: Vicki Palladino is going to have a news conference today
- 1:33:55Speaker 4: at noon because listen to this idea.
- 1:33:57Speaker 2: It's brilliant.
- 1:33:57Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:33:58Speaker 4: To support a transition to vintage-style electric horseless carriages. To
- 1:34:04Speaker 4: get rid of the horse-drawn carriages and supplant them with
- 1:34:09Speaker 4: vintage-style electric horseless carriages. Great idea.
- 1:34:15Speaker 1: Gee, I had that one in 2021 when I ran
- 1:34:17Speaker 1: against Eric Adams.
- 1:34:18Speaker 2: Remember the Chitty Bang Bang cars? Dick Van Dyke, I remember, 1968,
- 1:34:23Speaker 2: great movie.
- 1:34:24Speaker 1: A philanthropist down in Florida owned a whole collection of them.
- 1:34:28Speaker 1: He said, look, I'll donate it. It won't even cost anything.
- 1:34:31Speaker 1: They all said no, no, no. Wait a second.
- 1:34:34Speaker 2: If it's your idea, you're invited to this, right? You're
- 1:34:36Speaker 2: going today at noon to be there?
- 1:34:39Speaker 7: What?
- 1:34:40Speaker 2: You're not invited? I haven't been invited to the vote
- 1:34:43Speaker 2: that takes place Thursday.
- 1:34:45Speaker 1: I haven't been invited to the rally that takes place
- 1:34:47Speaker 1: before that. You say to yourself, remember my last appearance,
- 1:34:51Speaker 1: they pulled the microphone away from me after I gave
- 1:34:54Speaker 1: the spiel how you have to end this barbaric industry.
- 1:34:57Speaker 1: Claire Shulman, the city councilwoman hosting the meeting. I'm the
- 1:35:01Speaker 1: choice of the people on this. They all know.
- 1:35:03Speaker 2: Hey, Curtis was in the forefront. They've all forgotten. They
- 1:35:06Speaker 2: moved on. This is typical politics.
- 1:35:08Speaker 1: You know, try to take credit for something as opposed
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: to saying, you know, this idea came from Curtis Sleeve
- 1:35:15Speaker 1: a while back when he was running for mayor in 2021.
- 1:35:17Speaker 4: That's so stupid because it makes you look better as
- 1:35:20Speaker 4: a politician when you can bring somebody up and say,
- 1:35:23Speaker 4: we want to praise this person for doing this. It's dumb.
- 1:35:26Speaker 4: It's egotistical, but it eats away at your reputation.
- 1:35:30Speaker 1: Well, I had a agreement with Vicky Palladino because she
- 1:35:33Speaker 1: got a great Republican club in Whitestone. I knew she
- 1:35:36Speaker 1: was sympathetic to the carriage driver, so I never brought
- 1:35:38Speaker 1: it up. I was the first to endorse her when
- 1:35:41Speaker 1: the Republican Party turned against her when she was running
- 1:35:45Speaker 1: for council. And they said to me, you'll never be
- 1:35:48Speaker 1: you'll never win the GOP. Not in 2021 against Eric.
- 1:35:52Speaker 1: That's a drop dead. I'm endorsing her. But this is
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: true of the Democrats and Republicans. Zoran Mandami came on
- 1:35:59Speaker 1: board at the end of this recent campaign. You think
- 1:36:01Speaker 1: he'll say, well, you know, Curtis was an inspiration.
- 1:36:04Speaker 12: No.
- 1:36:05Speaker 2: Julie Manning.
- 1:36:06Speaker 1: You think he'll say, well, you know, Curtis took the
- 1:36:08Speaker 1: slings and arrows on this and really pushed this as
- 1:36:12Speaker 1: a priority of his platform.
- 1:36:14Speaker 12: No.
- 1:36:15Speaker 1: They're not even inviting me to the rally in City
- 1:36:17Speaker 1: Hall Park or when they do the vote.
- 1:36:19Speaker 2: You know, first they have the debate, but it's a
- 1:36:22Speaker 2: fait accompli. They already have the vote.
- 1:36:23Speaker 4: Well, let me tell you something. We can write this
- 1:36:25Speaker 4: wrong because we know Vicky Palladino. Vicky Palladino has been
- 1:36:29Speaker 4: a friend of the show, and we talk to Vicky
- 1:36:32Speaker 4: every week there for a while. And I'm sure this
- 1:36:35Speaker 4: was just an oversight. So, Vicki, if you're listening or
- 1:36:39Speaker 4: this message gets to you, if they invited you at
- 1:36:41Speaker 4: this point, would you go?
- 1:36:42Speaker 1: No, because those carriage horse owners and drivers hate me.
- 1:36:46Speaker 2: You saw that recent video that got a million hits.
- 1:36:49Speaker 2: You'll never be mayor! Oh, that's right.
- 1:36:52Speaker 1: When I was drinking from the trough, I'd say, you
- 1:36:55Speaker 1: let these horses drink from their swill? A lot of
- 1:36:59Speaker 1: people were amazed that I'm even alive now after drinking
- 1:37:02Speaker 1: that swill.
- 1:37:02Speaker 4: All right, Vicki, here you go. So he's not going
- 1:37:04Speaker 4: to go, but you need to give him credit.
- 1:37:07Speaker 9: Yes.
- 1:37:08Speaker 4: You need to give him credit for this today. Because
- 1:37:11Speaker 4: I know you're a stand-up person. I know you like Curtis.
- 1:37:14Speaker 4: And I think this idea is tremendous. But give credit
- 1:37:18Speaker 4: where credit is due. And I think she will.
- 1:37:20Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 1:37:20Speaker 1: And then tomorrow, they're having a rally in City Hall Park,
- 1:37:23Speaker 1: 12 noon. Do you think I'm invited? No. And then
- 1:37:27Speaker 1: when they do the debate and vote, do you think
- 1:37:29Speaker 1: I'm invited to sit up there in a peanut gallery
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: and watch an effort that I prioritized in my campaign,
- 1:37:36Speaker 1: got made fun of, editorially attacked.
- 1:37:39Speaker 2: Over and over?
- 1:37:40Speaker 1: No. I'm a person of no consequence to them. That's
- 1:37:43Speaker 1: why I don't trust any politicians.
- 1:37:45Speaker 4: Well, let's write one wrong at a time. We'll deal
- 1:37:48Speaker 4: with this one. Then the next time we'll do something else.
- 1:37:51Speaker 4: But we'll work on this.
- 1:37:53Speaker 1: If none of this happens, I'll be hanging out with
- 1:37:55Speaker 1: my buddies in Central Park, talking to all the horses
- 1:37:59Speaker 1: like I do every time I'm in Central Park. And
- 1:38:01Speaker 1: people think I'm a sugar box. I'm actually having a conversation.
- 1:38:07Speaker 1: And you're there at all hours because you don't sleep.
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: As we know, we talked about some people like Curtis.
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: who work well even with little sleep, the talkback of
- 1:38:17Speaker 1: the morning, and winner of the Curtis Lee win, Larry
- 1:38:19Speaker 1: Mendte in the morning t-shirt, and now in the running
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: for the talkback of the week, who will win a
- 1:38:25Speaker 1: sea crane radio is a listener who might be more
- 1:38:29Speaker 1: energized than curtis without sleep.
- 1:38:32Speaker 15: You talk about fatigue i have the opposite i am
- 1:38:36Speaker 15: quite like curtis the most hours of sleep i can
- 1:38:39Speaker 15: get barring any crazy nightly activity It's about four to
- 1:38:43Speaker 15: five hours. That's why I call you up so amped up,
- 1:38:46Speaker 15: so ready to go right away. I am telling you,
- 1:38:49Speaker 15: if I get four hours of sleep, I'm lucky. I'm like, whoa,
- 1:38:53Speaker 15: deep sleep. Hey, have a great show, guys.
- 1:38:58Speaker 2: Woo, let's go.
