Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Glory, hallelujah, I have one victory I can declare right
- 0:06Speaker 1: here on the most listened to morning show and talk
- 0:09Speaker 1: radio in New York City. Larry, Curtis, Natalie, and our
- 0:14Speaker 1: magnificent listeners everywhere. As much as you lampooned me, Larry,
- 0:19Speaker 1: because I know you were basically having a good belly
- 0:24Speaker 1: laugh at my expense. When I held the hand of
- 0:27Speaker 1: Mayor Zoran Mondami.
- 0:28Speaker 2: Oh, no, you read that completely wrong. You read that
- 0:31Speaker 2: completely wrong. I wasn't having a belly laugh at all.
- 0:35Speaker 2: I felt good that you came out. I love that.
- 0:38Speaker 2: I love that it happened. And it explained a whole lot.
- 0:41Speaker 2: It explained it.
- 0:42Speaker 1: Well, after yesterday, between you and Jimmy Failure and so
- 0:47Speaker 1: many people making fun of me here on the floor
- 0:50Speaker 1: of iHeart.
- 0:51Speaker 2: I would never. I would never make fun of true love.
- 0:55Speaker 2: I would never, ever make fun of it. It explains
- 0:57Speaker 2: a lot. It explains why you'll never attack them. But
- 0:59Speaker 2: now I get it. And I would do the same thing.
- 1:03Speaker 2: I would do the same thing for the one I love. But, Larry,
- 1:05Speaker 2: put one up on the board.
- 1:07Speaker 1: As a result of my self-sacrifice in getting that vaccine
- 1:11Speaker 1: while holding hands with the mayor. By the way, his
- 1:12Speaker 1: hands were not sweaty. Everybody who's asked me that. They
- 1:15Speaker 1: were soft.
- 1:17Speaker 2: Yeah. How'd they make you feel?
- 1:19Speaker 1: No calluses like mine. Yeah, he had soft hands. But
- 1:24Speaker 1: put one up in the victory chart.
- 1:27Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Remember, the idea is to encourage people to get their
- 1:32Speaker 1: flu vaccine. Natalie, our producer. Got her flu vaccine yesterday.
- 1:39Speaker 1: Thank you, Natalie.
- 1:39Speaker 4: You are so welcome.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Oh, she.
- 1:42Speaker 5: I was there for my annual physical. I had a
- 1:45Speaker 5: list of vaccines that I needed.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Well, we'll back up for a second. So you were
- 1:47Speaker 2: there for your annual physical. You were going anyway.
- 1:50Speaker 4: Well, but I had a choice.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Oh, you had a choice to cancel or not?
- 1:53Speaker 4: I had a choice of like 10. Yeah, I did.
- 1:56Speaker 1: Yeah, but you might not get an appointment for another
- 1:59Speaker 1: six months if you cancel. That's it.
- 2:01Speaker 5: You know, everybody always wants to cancel that appointment, but
- 2:03Speaker 5: I was like, oh gosh, I'll never get in again.
- 2:05Speaker 5: But I had a choice of about 10 different vaccines
- 2:08Speaker 5: I could take yesterday.
- 2:09Speaker 4: And I said, no, you know what? Curtis told me
- 2:11Speaker 4: I should have a flu shot.
- 2:13Speaker 2: She is such a suck up. She's an amazing suck up.
- 2:17Speaker 5: Then I thought to myself, if I do it right now,
- 2:19Speaker 5: I don't have to hold anybody's hand when I'm doing
- 2:21Speaker 5: it because I'm here all alone.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Thank you, Natalie, for that tactical air support, even if
- 2:26Speaker 1: you embellished it.
- 2:27Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. You know how she laughed at
- 2:29Speaker 2: this log for so many hosts?
- 2:32Speaker 1: Just there. Exactly that. I enjoyed that embellishment. But I
- 2:36Speaker 1: just want to let everyone know the flu goes everywhere. Uh,
- 2:40Speaker 1: in Japan where I have guardian angels, 37 straight days
- 2:44Speaker 1: of rain. They never had a worse flu season. And
- 2:47Speaker 1: you know, they're, they're all masked up all the time anyway.
- 2:50Speaker 1: So they're flying back and forth. You know, we have
- 2:53Speaker 1: a open, uh, communication and travel with the Japanese. So
- 2:57Speaker 1: you better believe as they land in America, some of
- 3:01Speaker 1: that's going to spread. And the vaccine you get this
- 3:03Speaker 1: year was created for the flu from last year.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Well, here, let me go through exactly how they do that. Okay,
- 3:10Speaker 2: very good. Doctor, doctor. Yeah, it's been explained to me
- 3:14Speaker 2: a million times when I go to do a story
- 3:18Speaker 2: on it. What they look at is the flu in
- 3:21Speaker 2: the Southern Hemisphere because they have an opposite flu season
- 3:25Speaker 2: than we do. Whatever flus are dominant there, that's what
- 3:29Speaker 2: they make the vaccine for. And it's usually two or three.
- 3:33Speaker 2: When you get a shot, it's for two or three
- 3:34Speaker 2: strains of the vaccine. When there's a bad flu season,
- 3:38Speaker 2: like the one you're talking about in Japan, they missed it.
- 3:42Speaker 2: It's something that broke through. They didn't get their flu
- 3:45Speaker 2: vaccine for the right flu strain. So hold on.
- 3:48Speaker 1: I have KGO to... My international director coming in to
- 3:51Speaker 1: have meetings about our international chapters. He's flying in from Tokyo.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Are you trying to say everything I went through, holding
- 3:59Speaker 1: the hand of the man, may have been for naught?
- 4:02Speaker 2: Oh, wait a second. You love that moment. You said
- 4:06Speaker 2: you were going to faint. Want me to play it again?
- 4:08Speaker 6: No, no.
- 4:08Speaker 1: It's quite all right.
- 4:09Speaker 4: You might have to do it again.
- 4:11Speaker 1: But I do want to pivot and shift because yesterday
- 4:15Speaker 1: we just ran out of time. It was a great hour,
- 4:17Speaker 1: 8 to 9. with Jimmy Fallon. You know, you go
- 4:20Speaker 1: to bed with him at night, 9 to 12. You
- 4:22Speaker 1: wake up with Larry and me in the morning at 6.
- 4:24Speaker 1: And Larry, you asked him about Americans down on college education,
- 4:29Speaker 1: this recent survey. He just brought his son up to
- 4:33Speaker 1: a SUNY college upstate New York. You've had children in college.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Natalie has two in college right now.
- 4:39Speaker 6: Right.
- 4:39Speaker 1: I have one in college. So We just started to
- 4:43Speaker 1: get into it. It was so interesting. If you notice,
- 4:46Speaker 1: I shut up. I was just listening to you and
- 4:49Speaker 1: Jimmy failure, which is something I normally don't do. So
- 4:52Speaker 1: I'd like to sort of.
- 4:53Speaker 2: That's absolutely true.
- 4:55Speaker 7: Yes.
- 4:56Speaker 1: It was very interesting hearing his situation, your situation, Natalie's situation,
- 5:02Speaker 1: and it really affects really most of America now because
- 5:06Speaker 1: of what seems to be the shift in about the
- 5:09Speaker 1: need to go to college, which when you and I
- 5:11Speaker 1: grew up, Larry and Natalie, we were encouraged, got to
- 5:14Speaker 1: go to college. You know, your parents, probably high school graduates,
- 5:18Speaker 1: blue collar, you got to go to college. Now it
- 5:21Speaker 1: seems like there's reverse osmosis. Yeah, I will tell you this.
- 5:24Speaker 2: There's a reverse osmosis among the young, the ones that
- 5:29Speaker 2: are going to go to college. You know, in our
- 5:31Speaker 2: generation or the generation that comes right after us, it's
- 5:36Speaker 2: still college is what you need to do. You need
- 5:38Speaker 2: to get a good job. You got to go to college,
- 5:39Speaker 2: you get a good job, you got to go to college.
- 5:41Speaker 2: So that influences the kids that are coming up. What's
- 5:45Speaker 2: really interesting. And it's what you're alluding to is that now,
- 5:49Speaker 2: because there is this disenchantment on the future, a lot
- 5:54Speaker 2: of it has to do with AI. They don't think
- 5:56Speaker 2: the jobs are going to be there. And they don't
- 5:58Speaker 2: think that the opportunities that their parents had will be there.
- 6:03Speaker 2: And so they opt for other things. Some of them
- 6:06Speaker 2: opt for just having fun and going and exploring and
- 6:09Speaker 2: living their life and seeing the world at the expense
- 6:13Speaker 2: of their parents. Others want to get into trade. Have
- 6:16Speaker 2: you seen trade schools?
- 6:17Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:18Speaker 2: How their attendance has gone way up. Their enrollment is
- 6:21Speaker 2: sky high. And it makes a lot of sense. You
- 6:25Speaker 2: know you have a job that's going to pay you
- 6:27Speaker 2: six figures at a certain point in your life and
- 6:29Speaker 2: maybe more than that, depending on if you open a company,
- 6:33Speaker 2: if you hire other people. then all of the sudden,
- 6:36Speaker 2: you know, you can be a multimillionaire. So they see
- 6:40Speaker 2: that as a more likely path for them.
- 6:43Speaker 1: You know, I had a conversation, young man who had
- 6:45Speaker 1: graduated here in the city, aviation high school, technical high school,
- 6:49Speaker 1: but high end. If you do five years, which you
- 6:53Speaker 1: can do in that school in Queens, right under the
- 6:55Speaker 1: seven train, you can go right into the field of airlines, maintenance,
- 7:02Speaker 1: dealing with all the intricacies that an airplane needs to
- 7:06Speaker 1: be able to fly and to do so safely, you
- 7:10Speaker 1: could be making $ 150, 000 with five years. at aviation high school.
- 7:17Speaker 1: You haven't even gone on to college yet or junior college.
- 7:20Speaker 1: So you're correct. There is such a limited number of
- 7:25Speaker 1: the needed personnel and we can't really bring in foreigners
- 7:30Speaker 1: the way we used to so much is that we
- 7:34Speaker 1: don't have enough Americans who are trained to do these
- 7:36Speaker 1: jobs and they're good paying jobs too with a good career.
- 7:40Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of... My son, my oldest son
- 7:43Speaker 2: who is near 40... was working for a high end
- 7:47Speaker 2: company in San Francisco. He got to work at home
- 7:50Speaker 2: because he was working on making all of their, their
- 7:53Speaker 2: videos for them, but also it in learning all this
- 7:57Speaker 2: stuff about network security, how to keep your network safe.
- 8:00Speaker 2: If you have a business, big company, huge company, all
- 8:04Speaker 2: of a sudden they laid all these people off because
- 8:06Speaker 2: they figured out many of the things they're already doing
- 8:09Speaker 2: can be done by AI. Ah, And so he was
- 8:12Speaker 2: one of the first ones to get hit by that.
- 8:15Speaker 2: And now he's trying to rethink, what am I going
- 8:17Speaker 2: to do for a career? What should I do now?
- 8:19Speaker 2: Because what he did, that's being replaced nationwide by AI.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. Right off the bat, you know,
- 8:27Speaker 1: I live in an apartment up west side. Locksmiths, they're
- 8:31Speaker 1: not enough. I mean, people constantly locking themselves out of
- 8:33Speaker 1: their apartment. And you know, if you call them after hours,
- 8:37Speaker 1: oh my God, it's like triple the normal amount. Plumbers.
- 8:41Speaker 2: Totally.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Electricians just go right on down the line. All the
- 8:45Speaker 1: things that our dads and our uncles grew up learning
- 8:49Speaker 1: in vocational high school and ended up doing very well
- 8:52Speaker 1: for themselves, sometimes getting a small business if they had
- 8:55Speaker 1: the desire. It's come full circle. We just don't have
- 8:59Speaker 1: enough of those skilled people. And you're not necessarily wanting
- 9:02Speaker 1: to hire an illegal alien, you know, who is doing
- 9:05Speaker 1: that work in Calejico in Mexico, who, you know, never
- 9:10Speaker 1: had an apprenticeship. You don't know where they learned their skills.
- 9:13Speaker 1: You know, do they know the difference between the red
- 9:15Speaker 1: wire and the blue wire? So you are absolutely correct,
- 9:20Speaker 1: but there can be a way to conflate the two.
- 9:23Speaker 2: Yes, there can be. And he's still trying. And in
- 9:25Speaker 2: the meantime, he's got like four other jobs that he's
- 9:29Speaker 2: put together, sewed together to make a living. But what's
- 9:32Speaker 2: really fascinating is as many people that are getting into
- 9:36Speaker 2: the plumbing and the electricians and all the trades... There's
- 9:40Speaker 2: still a great need for it. I mean, have you
- 9:42Speaker 2: ever tried to hire a plumber? I mean, I'll get
- 9:44Speaker 2: to you in 10 days. No, no. There's water all
- 9:47Speaker 2: over my floor. Can you get over here sooner?
- 9:49Speaker 1: And the next reason we have to do this is
- 9:52Speaker 1: to save the job that Natalie's daughter has because she
- 9:56Speaker 1: works in a university.
- 9:57Speaker 4: Yes, works in higher ed.
- 9:58Speaker 1: And so if all of a sudden. some of these
- 10:00Speaker 1: universities start, if not just closing, but eliminating classes and
- 10:06Speaker 1: opportunities for higher education. Natalie's daughter may be suddenly a
- 10:12Speaker 1: lifetime resident of your basement. Exactly.
- 10:15Speaker 8: She is right now, but we do let her up
- 10:20Speaker 8: on the second floor. You let her up on the
- 10:24Speaker 8: second floor to visit? What do you mean by that?
- 10:28Speaker 4: She is welcome for as long as she wants and needs.
- 10:31Speaker 4: I'm sure she would love to live somewhere else, honestly.
- 10:33Speaker 2: Yes, I can imagine.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Well, I want to hear from our listeners. How can
- 10:36Speaker 1: our listeners weigh in on this, Larry?
- 10:38Speaker 2: Well, the same way they always can. Go to the
- 10:40Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app and leave us a talkback. You could win
- 10:43Speaker 2: a Curtis Sliwin, Larry Mendte in the morning t-shirt, which
- 10:45Speaker 2: is going to be awarded every day to our favorite
- 10:48Speaker 2: talkback of the morning. And while you're on the free
- 10:50Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app, go ahead and set a preset for 710WOR.
- 10:54Speaker 2: Many of you have been doing that, and I appreciate it,
- 10:57Speaker 2: and so does Curtis. So please set your.
- 11:03Speaker 1: Whatever you do. Well, you preset it. Yeah, preset us. 710WOR.
- 11:07Speaker 2: And don't forget, the best talk back of the week
- 11:10Speaker 2: takes home AC Crane Radio. Well, we've had two very
- 11:14Speaker 2: notable passings, one an Oscar winner, one a creator of
- 11:19Speaker 2: one of the biggest songs of the 80s. We'll talk
- 11:21Speaker 2: about that when we come back. Plus, A chance to
- 11:24Speaker 2: see a Bronx tale, the one-man show starring Chaz Palminteri
- 11:29Speaker 2: at age 25. Well, we lost a great one. One
- 11:33Speaker 2: of the everlasting stars of Hollywood, Eva St. Marie, who
- 11:39Speaker 2: had the main woman's role in two of the biggest
- 11:46Speaker 2: movies of all time. and critically acclaimed, and at the
- 11:50Speaker 2: box office, they both did great. On the Waterfront with
- 11:53Speaker 2: Marlon Brando, and then North by Northwest, the Hitchcock film
- 11:58Speaker 2: playing opposite of Cary Grant. She went on to make
- 12:03Speaker 2: dozens more movies, over a hundred movies. Her last movie
- 12:06Speaker 2: was Winter's Bones, which was back in 2014. She died
- 12:09Speaker 2: at 102. She filmed On the Waterfront. You've you'll probably
- 12:17Speaker 2: have heard in Hoboken, New Jersey, but she grew up
- 12:20Speaker 2: in Albany and then Del Mar, New York. And then
- 12:23Speaker 2: she attended the actor's studio in New York and she
- 12:26Speaker 2: performed on Broadway before she got her big role in
- 12:30Speaker 2: On the Waterfront. And then after that, a star was born.
- 12:34Speaker 2: By the way, she won an Oscar for On the
- 12:37Speaker 2: Waterfront and had one of the funniest and shortest acceptance
- 12:42Speaker 2: speeches ever.
- 12:43Speaker 1: I may have the baby right here.
- 12:45Speaker 2: She was nine months pregnant.
- 12:49Speaker 5: But I would love to thank Goliad Kazan and Sam Spiegel,
- 12:54Speaker 5: Marlon Brando.
- 12:56Speaker 9: Carl Malden, Boris Kaufman, all the longshoremen. Thank you.
- 13:01Speaker 2: And then she waddled off. She had the baby two
- 13:04Speaker 2: days later after she won the Oscar.
- 13:07Speaker 1: Well, I must chastise you, Larry. Once again, you put
- 13:11Speaker 1: Newark in the shadows. Newark has always claimed Eva St.
- 13:15Speaker 1: Marie as their own. And by the way, like gambling,
- 13:19Speaker 1: John Gambling, who you work with, Natalie, two Quaker parents.
- 13:22Speaker 1: She went to Bowling Green, then became an NBC page.
- 13:26Speaker 1: And that's where she was discovered and given the opportunity
- 13:29Speaker 1: to act. And wow.
- 13:30Speaker 2: She spent her whole childhood in upstate New York. Was
- 13:33Speaker 2: she born in Newark? Was that why they claimed her?
- 13:36Speaker 2: Please do not take away. Jerry Lewis was from Newark.
- 13:39Speaker 2: We can go through a whole list, please.
- 13:41Speaker 1: And of course... My favorite. Oh, I want to ask
- 13:45Speaker 1: that and talk back. Who is my favorite singer of
- 13:47Speaker 1: all times? CF was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey.
- 13:53Speaker 2: Look at this whole story here. It never mentions Newark.
- 13:56Speaker 1: Ah, Natalie, are you coming to the defense in Newark?
- 14:00Speaker 4: I did read that yesterday.
- 14:01Speaker 5: I didn't know beforehand that she was born in Newark.
- 14:05Speaker 4: Don't know how long she lived in Newark.
- 14:06Speaker 1: They must have moved quickly to Albany from there.
- 14:10Speaker 2: If you went to Catholic school in there. By the way,
- 14:13Speaker 2: we lost another star. Not as big of a star
- 14:17Speaker 2: as Eva St. Maria, but he had some great hits there.
- 14:20Speaker 2: I'll just play one of the songs for you, and
- 14:23Speaker 2: then you'll know who I'm talking about. R & B
- 14:25Speaker 2: singer Freddie Jackson has died at the age of 70.
- 14:28Speaker 2: Freddie Jackson is best known for a string of soulful
- 14:33Speaker 2: and slow jam hits in the 1980s and 90s. Here's
- 14:37Speaker 2: another one. He definitely had a style.
- 14:46Speaker 1: Yeah, and I tell you, when you go to the clubs,
- 14:50Speaker 1: And towards the end, before they close at 4, it
- 14:54Speaker 1: would be the slow jam time. And oftentimes you would
- 14:57Speaker 1: hear a Freddie Jackson classic.
- 15:01Speaker 2: You and My Lady?
- 15:03Speaker 1: I mean, a whole host of them. A whole host
- 15:05Speaker 1: of them that you looked forward to dancing at the end.
- 15:08Speaker 1: In fact, if you got lucky that night. A lot
- 15:10Speaker 1: of times, yes.
- 15:12Speaker 2: You have to thank Freddie Jackson. Exactly. He died at
- 15:16Speaker 2: the age of 70. The cause of death has not
- 15:18Speaker 2: been released by the family. Let's get to your talk, Bex.
- 15:22Speaker 10: Good morning.
- 15:22Speaker 2: Okay.
- 15:24Speaker 10: Try to find a shoemaker. Try to find that man
- 15:28Speaker 10: or woman that would put a new heel on your
- 15:31Speaker 10: favorite shoes or resole your shoes because you love them
- 15:36Speaker 10: so much and they were so expensive and you don't
- 15:39Speaker 10: want to have to go buy another pair. But you
- 15:41Speaker 10: just want a sole put on.
- 15:43Speaker 7: Go ahead.
- 15:44Speaker 10: Find one. I dare you.
- 15:46Speaker 2: That's true. Every commuter that used to have a shoemaker,
- 15:49Speaker 2: anytime I'd get, like, my shoes would start to wear out,
- 15:52Speaker 2: my mom would go, no, no, no, we're not going
- 15:54Speaker 2: to buy new ones. We'll just take that to the shoemaker.
- 15:56Speaker 2: You mean your Buster Browns with ties? I didn't have
- 15:58Speaker 2: Buster Browns, although I would have loved to because they
- 16:01Speaker 2: were so heavily advertised. Everybody else did.
- 16:04Speaker 5: But now people are buying, you know, $ 20 shoes from China,
- 16:07Speaker 5: so they just wear them and they throw them out
- 16:08Speaker 5: and they buy another pair.
- 16:09Speaker 2: On T-Mobile.
- 16:10Speaker 4: Which is wrong.
- 16:11Speaker 5: You know, it's nice to have a good pair of something.
- 16:13Speaker 2: I'd love to hear from people with their experiences with Timu.
- 16:17Speaker 2: Mine have been nothing but horrible. Oh, yeah. I stopped
- 16:19Speaker 2: buying from him. Everything looks good, and then you get
- 16:22Speaker 2: it from China, and it's just cheap as hell. Good morning, guys.
- 16:26Speaker 11: As you know, I'm a truck driver. There's this other
- 16:30Speaker 11: trucker here. We're owner-operators, and he's Hindi. His son just
- 16:34Speaker 11: graduated college in systems engineering. The old man asked him,
- 16:39Speaker 11: how much are you going to make your first year?
- 16:41Speaker 11: The kid said 75 to start. The old man said, nope,
- 16:45Speaker 11: bought him a truck and told him that he was
- 16:47Speaker 11: going to start him at 120. And there's a kid
- 16:49Speaker 11: driving a truck, man, fresh out of college.
- 16:52Speaker 12: How do you like that?
- 16:53Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 16:54Speaker 1: Yeah. Driving that truck, except now it costs a thousand
- 16:57Speaker 1: dollars to fill up that rig with diesel. So may
- 17:00Speaker 1: not be as lucrative as when the son decided to
- 17:04Speaker 1: opt to get into the cab with his daddy.
- 17:06Speaker 2: Now let's get the news at 6.30 with Daria Albinger. Daria.
- 17:10Speaker 13: You know, one of my friend's sons just graduated from
- 17:13Speaker 13: Fairleigh Dickinson about five years ago with a business degree,
- 17:15Speaker 13: but he worked as a plumber while he was in college. Well,
- 17:17Speaker 13: guess what he's doing now with that college degree?
- 17:20Speaker 2: He's a plumber.
- 17:21Speaker 13: He is a plumber, and he's actually taken over the business,
- 17:23Speaker 13: so there you go. Mostly sunny and a little warmer today,
- 17:27Speaker 13: high 67. Cornell has hired prosecutor Sally Yates. to lead
- 17:32Speaker 13: an internal investigation into an alleged gang rape at a
- 17:35Speaker 13: campus fraternity house.
- 17:36Speaker 14: Yates, a former acting U.S. Attorney General, has been tasked
- 17:39Speaker 14: with reviewing how Cornell handled rape allegations made by a
- 17:43Speaker 14: former student known only as Jane Doe. The student alleged
- 17:46Speaker 14: that she'd been drugged and raped by several members of
- 17:49Speaker 14: the Chi Phi fraternity in 2024. The university has faced
- 17:53Speaker 14: protests and widespread criticism since the case was reopened when
- 17:56Speaker 14: Doe filed a civil lawsuit last month. Yates was appointed
- 18:00Speaker 14: deputy attorney general during the Obama administration, and she previously
- 18:04Speaker 14: led the independent investigation into allegations of abusive behavior and
- 18:08Speaker 14: sexual misconduct in women's professional soccer. Liz Warner, WOR News.
- 18:12Speaker 13: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is calling for an investigation
- 18:15Speaker 13: into President Trump's use of taxpayer dollars to pay for
- 18:18Speaker 13: government-sponsored campaign ads. They've been criticized by lawmakers from both parties,
- 18:23Speaker 13: but the White House says they're not ads. They're actually
- 18:26Speaker 13: public service announcements. The president says work on the Washington, D.C.
- 18:30Speaker 13: reflecting pool is almost done.
- 18:32Speaker 15: Trump said on Tuesday that repairs to the Lincoln Memorial
- 18:35Speaker 15: reflecting pool are close to complete and that the 2,000-foot-long
- 18:39Speaker 15: pool will be refilled this week. He also said the
- 18:42Speaker 15: reflecting pool will be about as vandal-proof as you can get.
- 18:46Speaker 2: The U.S.
- 18:46Speaker 15: Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C. determined back in July that
- 18:50Speaker 15: the damage to the pool was the result of flawed
- 18:52Speaker 15: installation by the contractor. I'm Mark Mayfield.
- 18:55Speaker 13: Two cases of Legionnaire's disease have been confirmed on Staten
- 18:58Speaker 13: Island just days after the disease was detected in Queens.
- 19:02Speaker 13: And here's a sign of the times. The Emmys are
- 19:05Speaker 13: going to be on Prime Video starting next year. The
- 19:08Speaker 13: Television Academy and Amazon inking a six-year deal for the
- 19:10Speaker 13: rights to the ceremony. Rangers beat the Islanders. The devil's lost.
- 19:15Speaker 13: Next news, 7 o'clock bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger
- 19:18Speaker 13: on 710WOR.
- 19:19Speaker 1: Up next, you saw that off-duty detective slashed seven times
- 19:24Speaker 1: and survived. Well, they ID'd the thugs. Illegal aliens from
- 19:30Speaker 1: the DR that ICE was looking for and the NYPD
- 19:33Speaker 1: was told not to help. Whoa, a big story coming
- 19:37Speaker 1: up next.
- 19:39Speaker 2: I want to tell you about LifeVac. LifeVac is a
- 19:42Speaker 2: life-saving device that saves someone when they are choking. And
- 19:46Speaker 2: in the last couple of weeks, there have been three...
- 19:50Speaker 2: lives saved. A 67-year-old woman in Las Vegas saved by
- 19:54Speaker 2: a good Samaritan who had LifeVac in his car. A
- 19:58Speaker 2: 38-year-old woman in California who successfully saved herself with a
- 20:03Speaker 2: home kit of LifeVac. And a four-year-old boy in California
- 20:07Speaker 2: saved at a restaurant after choking on a pizza. When
- 20:11Speaker 2: an emergency like choking happens, seconds matter. That's why I
- 20:16Speaker 2: tell you about LifeVac. It's the first and only FDA-authorized
- 20:21Speaker 2: suction anti-choking device to be used for second-line treatment when
- 20:26Speaker 2: recommended choking protocols have been followed without success. And here's
- 20:30Speaker 2: what's remarkable. Not just those four lives this last week.
- 20:35Speaker 2: They have saved 6,537 total lives worldwide. Think of that number.
- 20:44Speaker 2: Those are real people we're talking about, real families, real
- 20:47Speaker 2: second chances. Preparedness matters. Having the right tool nearby can
- 20:54Speaker 2: make all the difference in the world. It can be
- 20:56Speaker 2: the difference between life and death. So learn more about
- 20:59Speaker 2: LifeVac today at LifeVac.net. That's LifeVac.net. Visit LifeVac.net and see
- 21:06Speaker 2: how you can be ready when it counts.
- 21:09Speaker 1: Less than a month before the midterms, and boy, I
- 21:13Speaker 1: saw Republicans all over the state of New York jumping
- 21:17Speaker 1: on big stories that involved illegal aliens committing crimes, being
- 21:23Speaker 1: released by local authorities because this is a sanctuary state.
- 21:28Speaker 1: And not cooperating with ICE who had detainers for him. First,
- 21:33Speaker 1: there was Blakeman. There was Lawler. They were talking about
- 21:36Speaker 1: upstate Putnam County Brewster. Now get this. Here's a guy.
- 21:40Speaker 1: His name is Diego Rodriguez Ordonez. He's wanted for a
- 21:44Speaker 1: series of crimes. He had been arrested for a series
- 21:47Speaker 1: of crimes. Total illegal alien. In one day alone, he
- 21:52Speaker 1: commits two serious crimes. So he robs a Kent convenience
- 21:56Speaker 1: store and assaults the clerk. That was last Wednesday. He's released.
- 22:02Speaker 1: They put an ankle bracelet on him saying he's under
- 22:04Speaker 1: supervised release. They never inform ICE because they have a
- 22:07Speaker 1: detainer for him. He's arrested that same night for forcibly
- 22:11Speaker 1: touching a woman on a Metro North train. Finally, they
- 22:15Speaker 1: put bail into effect, $ 20, 000, and still would not contact
- 22:22Speaker 1: ICE to have him picked up. You say to yourself,
- 22:25Speaker 1: my God, two in one day with an ankle bracelet on,
- 22:29Speaker 1: perving on a woman at the end. That was just
- 22:32Speaker 1: the start of a very hectic day for those who
- 22:36Speaker 1: believe in law and order. Because, you know, that police
- 22:39Speaker 1: officer was off duty up in the Bronx, 44th Precinct, Mercedes,
- 22:44Speaker 1: He's been honored. He was up in the Norwood section
- 22:47Speaker 1: of the Bronx, 208th Street, and he was going into
- 22:50Speaker 1: the back of his car. He was off duty and
- 22:53Speaker 1: was going into the trunk. And two guys, not on
- 22:56Speaker 1: a motorbike or an e-bike, they were on a mountain bike,
- 22:59Speaker 1: which meant they could be like stealth, snuck up to him.
- 23:03Speaker 1: Two illegal aliens from the D.R. had a long track
- 23:07Speaker 1: record of arrests. And again, ICE was looking for them.
- 23:10Speaker 1: No cooperation from the NYPD. They sneak up to him.
- 23:14Speaker 1: They see he's wearing gold chains. So they immediately confront him.
- 23:19Speaker 1: He confronts them back, doesn't give him the gold chain.
- 23:21Speaker 1: They slice him up seven times. He's bleeding everywhere. He's
- 23:25Speaker 1: lucky to have survived. He went to Jacoby Hospital and
- 23:29Speaker 1: was released yesterday. Heroes welcome. All the cops were there,
- 23:32Speaker 1: you know. the PBA, all the unions to lend him support.
- 23:37Speaker 1: And then they released the photos of these two guys
- 23:40Speaker 1: who were so brazen they didn't even wear masks. You know,
- 23:42Speaker 1: they're on that mountain bike. They're basically looking up at
- 23:45Speaker 1: the camera. Let me give you a little bit of
- 23:47Speaker 1: an idea of who these enemies of society are. First
- 23:51Speaker 1: guy is Caraballo. He's the guy on the back, no shirt.
- 23:56Speaker 1: October 26, he gets busted with a gun and ammunition.
- 24:00Speaker 1: Bale was asked for a Bronx DA $ 30, 000. Judge released
- 24:04Speaker 1: him without bail, supervised release. He went out. He did
- 24:08Speaker 1: it again July 10th. He pulls a knife on a
- 24:10Speaker 1: guy and says, today is your last day, he tells
- 24:13Speaker 1: him in Spanish. He's arrested, weapons possession, menacing. The ICE
- 24:19Speaker 1: agents are looking for this guy, right? And the cops
- 24:22Speaker 1: know it, NYPD. Now, normally the cops would help, but
- 24:25Speaker 1: they're restricted. This time he's released on Cuomo's no cash bail.
- 24:30Speaker 1: You say to yourself, this is just one guy of
- 24:34Speaker 1: the two. And the other guy, the guy was actually
- 24:37Speaker 1: in the front of the bicycle pedaling, is Mejia. He
- 24:41Speaker 1: snuck through Arizona, detained by border agents, but then allowed
- 24:45Speaker 1: to go through under Biden. December of 2024, he's busted.
- 24:50Speaker 1: Possession of burglar tools. He's breaking into cars. ICE had
- 24:54Speaker 1: issued a retainer for him. NYPD was aware of it,
- 24:57Speaker 1: not permitted to cooperate. Then in May of 2025, a
- 25:01Speaker 1: federal judge signs a deportation order for him. And in October,
- 25:06Speaker 1: he's busted for weapons possession and declined. The NYPD declined.
- 25:11Speaker 2: You're acting like you're shocked.
- 25:13Speaker 1: No, not shocked.
- 25:13Speaker 2: No, you shouldn't be. This happens every single day in
- 25:16Speaker 2: this country. It's still happening. And the whole reason that
- 25:20Speaker 2: the crime rate is down, Jessica Tisch got up and
- 25:24Speaker 2: took credit for that. They took credit for it in St.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Louis.
- 25:28Speaker 2: They're taking credit for it in Denver. That's all Donald Trump.
- 25:31Speaker 2: All of it is Donald Trump. The fact that the
- 25:34Speaker 2: crime rate is going down is that he's rounding up
- 25:37Speaker 2: all of the people that you're talking about because they
- 25:41Speaker 2: are many. They are plentiful. They're all across the country
- 25:45Speaker 2: and they are still committing crimes. And listen, for the
- 25:47Speaker 2: last time, and I want to keep saying this over
- 25:49Speaker 2: and over again, because I've heard it now come up
- 25:52Speaker 2: on the campaign trail.
- 25:53Speaker 7: Oh, no.
- 25:55Speaker 2: People that are here illegally commit less crimes than U.S.
- 25:58Speaker 2: citizens per capita. That's BS. You know why that happens?
- 26:04Speaker 2: It's because they are not allowed in all of the
- 26:07Speaker 2: sanctuary cities and states to report their immigration status to
- 26:13Speaker 2: the FBI. And so it looks like the numbers are
- 26:18Speaker 2: down a little bit. It looks like there are less
- 26:21Speaker 2: crimes committed by those who are here illegally than the
- 26:24Speaker 2: rest of the citizens. It's absolutely a lie. And that's
- 26:29Speaker 2: what sanctuary cities do. But I am so sick. of
- 26:36Speaker 2: hearing from now candidates running for the Democratic Party who
- 26:40Speaker 2: are saying that they're going to find legal status for
- 26:45Speaker 2: everyone in this country, a path to legal status for
- 26:48Speaker 2: everyone that is here illegally, because these crimes are going
- 26:52Speaker 2: to keep happening over and over and over again. And
- 26:57Speaker 2: we're not going to know about it because they can't
- 27:00Speaker 2: say what their legal status is in most of the
- 27:03Speaker 2: sanctuary cities. And then they won't hand them over to ICE.
- 27:07Speaker 2: This is insanity. And so I want you to remember this.
- 27:10Speaker 2: If you don't remember anything else, remember what it was
- 27:13Speaker 2: like under Biden. Remember how much we suffered. Remember the
- 27:17Speaker 2: fraud that was... that was caused because of that. And
- 27:21Speaker 2: then remember the death and the people that are still
- 27:24Speaker 2: mourning someone that died because Joe Biden let anybody into
- 27:30Speaker 2: this country. And now you have a man who is
- 27:32Speaker 2: trying to fix that and is actually lowering the crime
- 27:35Speaker 2: rate across the country. And you're upset about gas prices.
- 27:39Speaker 2: That's what you're going to vote on. You forget how
- 27:42Speaker 2: everything else is a mess?
- 27:43Speaker 1: That's how you're going to vote? Larry, it's not even
- 27:49Speaker 1: on the radar scale. That's what I'm trying to tell people.
- 27:52Speaker 1: I understand that. I'm not disagreeing with you. But you
- 27:54Speaker 1: know how an election cycle goes. It's affordability, cost of living.
- 27:58Speaker 1: And the war in Iran. Those are the three big issues.
- 28:00Speaker 1: It's crazy. It's not for me.
- 28:02Speaker 2: The Democrats are telling you what they're going to do.
- 28:06Speaker 2: They're already saying it publicly. We're going to make everybody legal.
- 28:10Speaker 2: And they're still going to get voted for it when
- 28:12Speaker 2: you tell a story like that?
- 28:13Speaker 1: Yep.
- 28:13Speaker 2: It's insane.
- 28:14Speaker 1: In New York and New York City. Look, just last year,
- 28:17Speaker 1: I'll give you the final stat. Last year, New York
- 28:20Speaker 1: City released 7,000 illegals despite... them having committed crimes and
- 28:26Speaker 1: ICE requesting a detainer. That doesn't mean ICE picks them
- 28:29Speaker 1: up in the streets or knocks on their door, goes
- 28:31Speaker 1: to there where they're working. They're just going to go
- 28:34Speaker 1: to where they're being detained and pick them up. And
- 28:37Speaker 1: the NYPD has been told, because this is a sanctuary
- 28:40Speaker 1: state and city, no, don't hand them over to ICE.
- 28:42Speaker 2: And part of that is political, to force ICE out
- 28:45Speaker 2: into the streets, to make them look bad. When if you,
- 28:48Speaker 2: in Nassau County... Talk to Bruce Blakeman about how he
- 28:51Speaker 2: did it. They didn't have any of those problems. They
- 28:54Speaker 2: had none of the problems in the communities because they
- 28:56Speaker 2: were handing everybody over in the jails like they were
- 29:00Speaker 2: supposed to.
- 29:00Speaker 1: I concur. But up next, the big talk on the Internet. Man,
- 29:05Speaker 1: I was immersed in that Russia and plague, bubonic plague
- 29:10Speaker 1: or whatever you call that plague. We'll give you the
- 29:12Speaker 1: updated details on that exclusively here with Curtis and Larry.
- 29:18Speaker 2: Well, there is global concern about what is going on
- 29:22Speaker 2: in Russia. And one of the biggest problems right now
- 29:24Speaker 2: is that we're not getting much information. But Russian authorities,
- 29:27Speaker 2: this is what we know, have placed over 200 people
- 29:31Speaker 2: under medical observation in quarantine in their Irkutsk region of
- 29:36Speaker 2: Siberia following the unexplained death of a research laboratory technician
- 29:42Speaker 2: who was working on the bacteria that causes the pneumonic plague.
- 29:48Speaker 2: It was the Plague Institute of Siberia. They call it
- 29:52Speaker 2: the Anti-Plague Institute of Siberia in Irkutsk. Daria Shipolova, 28
- 29:57Speaker 2: years old, died from severe double pneumonia last week, and
- 30:03Speaker 2: they are certain, even though they're not saying this, everybody
- 30:06Speaker 2: else in the world is, except Russia, that she died
- 30:09Speaker 2: from the pneumonic plague. Apparently, she had a test tube
- 30:12Speaker 2: that broke, and that's how she came in contact with it.
- 30:16Speaker 2: So now there is concern around the world for a
- 30:18Speaker 2: couple of things. Number one, this can spread from person
- 30:23Speaker 2: to person. It's the only plague, as a matter of fact,
- 30:25Speaker 2: that can spread from person to person in fairly quickly.
- 30:29Speaker 2: And so that's some concern. But the other concern is
- 30:35Speaker 2: that they were actually working on biological weapons. So that's
- 30:39Speaker 2: why the president wants to meet with Vladimir Putin. You
- 30:43Speaker 2: remember this name. This is Dr. Ashish Jha. He was
- 30:48Speaker 2: big during the COVID response, if you remember. He is
- 30:51Speaker 2: a viral disease expert.
- 30:54Speaker 16: If it was a simple vial broke, somebody got infected,
- 30:57Speaker 16: it would be unlikely that it would lead to a
- 31:00Speaker 16: quarantining and monitoring of 200 people. So that makes me
- 31:03Speaker 16: concerned that there might be something else happening. Obviously, we
- 31:06Speaker 16: all hope that it isn't. It's just simply a case
- 31:08Speaker 16: of pneumonic plague.
- 31:09Speaker 2: So if it was one person and one person got it,
- 31:13Speaker 2: you'd isolate them and that would be the end of it.
- 31:16Speaker 2: The fact that he's saying, and this is a viral
- 31:19Speaker 2: disease expert, that they're quarantining should cause concern to everybody.
- 31:23Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. And the fact is, it's Russia. Just like
- 31:26Speaker 1: with COVID, it was red China, where no information came out.
- 31:31Speaker 1: So we don't trust the Russians or Putin. And I mean,
- 31:35Speaker 1: I was scrolling last night. I couldn't stop scrolling. All
- 31:39Speaker 1: the so-called self-appointed doctor experts. Now, this guy, you just
- 31:43Speaker 1: played legitimate. Oh, pneumonic plague, 100 times more lethal than COVID.
- 31:49Speaker 1: 2,000 people are now in quarantine. You know, if it's
- 31:53Speaker 1: genetically modified to resist even the strongest antibiotics, it will spread.
- 32:00Speaker 1: Did they stop running the Trans-Siberian Railroad, the Express, and
- 32:05Speaker 1: ban all flights going in and out of Siberia? And
- 32:08Speaker 1: then they attached it to what we know Fauci was
- 32:11Speaker 1: involved in, gain-of-function research. So was it the Kremlin? opting
- 32:18Speaker 1: to do this, as you would describe it, bio-warfare, chemical
- 32:22Speaker 1: warfare testing way out in Siberia, and now they've had
- 32:26Speaker 1: a problem. So they just, now they're telling their citizens,
- 32:30Speaker 1: don't spread rumors, don't spread rumors. Well, you're not giving
- 32:34Speaker 1: any facts. So if people are rumor mongers, and there
- 32:37Speaker 1: are some right there in Siberia who are getting out information,
- 32:41Speaker 1: You're just throwing gasoline on the rumor mongering fires. And
- 32:46Speaker 1: people keep saying black plague, bubonic plague. We all have
- 32:51Speaker 1: heard about how many people died throughout Europe. I mean, millions. Right.
- 32:56Speaker 1: So you say to yourself, it requires explanation. Now, our
- 33:00Speaker 1: president tried to calm everybody's fears by saying, well, it's
- 33:03Speaker 1: a pneumonia of some type, but it can be treated.
- 33:06Speaker 2: You get pneumonia. That's exactly what you get from it.
- 33:09Speaker 2: That's true. Yeah. And it can be treated. If you
- 33:12Speaker 2: get it early, you can beat it. And that's what's
- 33:16Speaker 2: so bizarre, too. And a lot of people have brought
- 33:18Speaker 2: this up. If it's so easily treated, and if you
- 33:22Speaker 2: get somebody when they first show symptoms, if you get
- 33:25Speaker 2: them antibiotics, it almost always works. As a matter of fact,
- 33:29Speaker 2: I'll say 100% it works at that point. So why
- 33:33Speaker 2: did this lab worker get that?
- 33:36Speaker 1: The rumor online is that she was so embarrassed she
- 33:39Speaker 1: didn't want to tell anyone. Now, the other thing is,
- 33:43Speaker 1: we didn't even think of this. Remember, Russia is at
- 33:45Speaker 1: war with Ukraine, the war they started. And you know
- 33:48Speaker 1: how devious the Ukrainians have been with their Secret Service agents.
- 33:52Speaker 1: They've even flown drones from within Russian territory. So naturally,
- 33:57Speaker 1: there are a number of Russian experts who are saying, aha.
- 34:00Speaker 1: This is Zelensky, you see, releasing bioterrorism within our country
- 34:07Speaker 1: to try to destroy us coming from Siberia towards the
- 34:11Speaker 1: war front. Now, there were a lot of bioterror labs
- 34:14Speaker 1: in the Ukraine, so they're conflating all of that. So
- 34:18Speaker 1: Russia is not giving any clear information. Our president doesn't
- 34:23Speaker 1: have information. This is like when we were dealing with Xi.
- 34:25Speaker 1: Remember with COVID? Trump was not getting any information with
- 34:30Speaker 1: Xi at the time.
- 34:31Speaker 2: He keeps saying he's going to be meeting with Putin
- 34:34Speaker 2: and everybody then follows up with when. And he doesn't
- 34:37Speaker 2: have an answer to when. So apparently something is in
- 34:40Speaker 2: the works. Let me calm fears just a little bit.
- 34:45Speaker 2: That plague has been in this country now for the
- 34:48Speaker 2: last couple of decades. And it's only been about 110 cases.
- 34:53Speaker 2: Seven people have died, but those seven people didn't seek
- 34:57Speaker 2: treatment right away. So if you're concerned about it at
- 35:00Speaker 2: all and you're starting to feel sick, just get to
- 35:02Speaker 2: your doctor right away. There's a simple antibiotic that kills it.
- 35:06Speaker 2: So it's not like it used to be when they
- 35:07Speaker 2: didn't have anything to treat it and it spread throughout
- 35:10Speaker 2: Europe and killed all those people. No, there's treatment right now.
- 35:13Speaker 1: Dr. Larry, you better post that on the Internet. It
- 35:18Speaker 1: ain't resonating.
- 35:21Speaker 2: When we come back, oh my goodness, the I am
- 35:24Speaker 2: Jane Doe movement is taking off and Cornell University has
- 35:28Speaker 2: a lot of explaining to do. We'll check back in
- 35:31Speaker 2: with that case after the 7 o'clock news. Well, I
- 35:34Speaker 2: will tell you this. If you are among the executives
- 35:38Speaker 2: at Cornell University, you're probably in a little bit of
- 35:41Speaker 2: trouble at this point because the students now have gathered
- 35:45Speaker 2: to write a letter asking for resignations, including from the president.
- 35:50Speaker 2: And the faculty had a vote of no confidence for
- 35:54Speaker 2: the administration and for the president. So this keeps snowballing
- 35:59Speaker 2: and it's big. It's all across the country. You know
- 36:02Speaker 2: what it's like, Curtis? It's like the Me Too movement
- 36:04Speaker 2: at this point.
- 36:06Speaker 1: Just a side note real quick. University of Oregon now,
- 36:09Speaker 1: there's some sexual assaults that have occurred against women on
- 36:14Speaker 1: and off campus. University of Arizona has suspended fraternities for misconduct.
- 36:20Speaker 1: It's now having a ripple effect, not just for hazing
- 36:23Speaker 1: and assaults like we would typically hear, but taking advantage
- 36:28Speaker 1: when there are social gatherings, you know, at frats and
- 36:31Speaker 1: sororities and then situations get out of hand. So you're right.
- 36:35Speaker 1: It's a ripple effect all across the country.
- 36:37Speaker 2: And more and more tapes. There's more and more information
- 36:40Speaker 2: coming out, by the way. And we're finding out that
- 36:42Speaker 2: a lot of the things that were alleged in Jane
- 36:46Speaker 2: Doe's filing, they're not true. Many of the things were
- 36:52Speaker 2: not true, especially the whole thing about some of the
- 36:55Speaker 2: people that we reported here. And I talked about because
- 36:58Speaker 2: I read it from the allegations is that they got
- 37:03Speaker 2: a slap on the wrist. Only two got expelled. Everybody else,
- 37:07Speaker 2: one of them got a writing assignment. Well, apparently that's
- 37:10Speaker 2: not true. They were either expelled or suspended pending investigation,
- 37:15Speaker 2: every single one of the seven. And so they've made
- 37:19Speaker 2: that very clear, and that has been investigated. We're also
- 37:22Speaker 2: now hearing a lot of tapes of the students that
- 37:25Speaker 2: make the men sound worse and worse and worse. I
- 37:29Speaker 2: will tell you something, and this should temper you a
- 37:33Speaker 2: little bit. And I thank some of the listeners who
- 37:37Speaker 2: are legal authorities who are lawyers that wrote to me
- 37:41Speaker 2: and said, you know, be careful. Watch out. Don't get
- 37:43Speaker 2: ahead of your skis too much because you're only hearing
- 37:47Speaker 2: from one side. And that is absolutely true. You have
- 37:53Speaker 2: to be extremely careful. Because this is not going to
- 37:57Speaker 2: be an easy case. Now, if it snowballs and it
- 38:00Speaker 2: becomes a movement and you have Letitia James and you
- 38:03Speaker 2: get the right jury, yes, it's going to be a snowball.
- 38:07Speaker 2: And everything that comes out now, you have to assume
- 38:11Speaker 2: is coming from James Doe's attorney. That's what you have
- 38:14Speaker 2: to assume at this point. It's not coming from the school.
- 38:17Speaker 2: It's not coming from the prosecutor. It's going to come
- 38:20Speaker 2: right from there. And so there is a guy named
- 38:24Speaker 2: Josh Ritter who used to be a prosecutor in L.A.,
- 38:28Speaker 2: a big prosecutor in L.A., had some famous cases, is
- 38:31Speaker 2: now a defense prosecutor. And he's warning everybody, be careful.
- 38:37Speaker 2: This is not going to be– and he's had these
- 38:39Speaker 2: cases before– This is not going to be an easy
- 38:43Speaker 2: case to prosecute.
- 38:44Speaker 17: Here we don't have any physical corroborating evidence. We don't
- 38:47Speaker 17: have a fresh complaint that was made right afterwards. And
- 38:50Speaker 17: in fact, the statements that she made were inconsistent. Now,
- 38:53Speaker 17: that's not passing judgment on this young woman. There might
- 38:56Speaker 17: be very good reasons for why she gave conflicting statements
- 38:58Speaker 17: to begin with. But because she did, that creates issues
- 39:02Speaker 17: for a prosecutor.
- 39:04Speaker 2: See, in the furor of all of this... In the
- 39:08Speaker 2: fact that people are angry and so many women can relate,
- 39:12Speaker 2: we've already passed judgment on a lot of these people.
- 39:15Speaker 2: And again, many attorneys are saying, be careful.
- 39:19Speaker 17: And this isn't a simple he said, she said. This
- 39:23Speaker 17: is seven different individuals who are going to give a
- 39:26Speaker 17: very different account as to what took place against her own.
- 39:30Speaker 17: one story.
- 39:31Speaker 2: And look, I'm not making judgment on either side at
- 39:35Speaker 2: this point. You know, you have to feel for the woman. Absolutely.
- 39:39Speaker 2: But it builds and it builds and it builds and
- 39:42Speaker 2: it builds until we become a mob.
- 39:44Speaker 17: None of this is about whether or not this woman
- 39:46Speaker 17: was wrong, which she very well could have been. But
- 39:49Speaker 17: the question becomes, can they actually file a case that
- 39:52Speaker 17: will stand up in court? And at this point, I
- 39:55Speaker 17: think that the options of that are very limited.
- 39:58Speaker 2: That's the first time I've heard that. That's the first
- 40:01Speaker 2: time I've heard that. And it's from somebody that's prosecuted
- 40:03Speaker 2: these cases.
- 40:04Speaker 1: Yeah. But now he's a defense attorney.
- 40:06Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 40:06Speaker 1: Of course, he's looking for work, Larry.
- 40:08Speaker 2: Oh, no, he's not. You know this guy? You know,
- 40:11Speaker 2: he's out in L.A., first of all. He's not looking
- 40:13Speaker 2: for work. You think the worst on everybody. U.S.
- 40:16Speaker 1: Attorneys become defense attorneys. They prosecuted the worst, and then
- 40:20Speaker 1: they represent the worst.
- 40:22Speaker 2: He's pretty booked at this point.
- 40:23Speaker 1: I understand, but let me give you the words.
- 40:25Speaker 2: He's not looking for work.
- 40:26Speaker 1: The ringleader.
- 40:27Speaker 2: Everybody that says something that you don't agree with. All
- 40:30Speaker 2: of a sudden, they're wrong and they're looking for money.
- 40:33Speaker 2: I am entitled to my point of view. It's your
- 40:35Speaker 2: point of view, but you try to undercut people that
- 40:37Speaker 2: don't deserve it. Let's look at the.
- 40:38Speaker 1: Words of the culprit who organized this, Matthew Ingalls. Everybody
- 40:44Speaker 1: knows he organized it. He said, oh, we're going to
- 40:47Speaker 1: have a threesome. And then all of a sudden, she
- 40:50Speaker 1: came over. And now, in his own email to the
- 40:55Speaker 1: authorities at Cornell University, when he was being interviewed, this
- 40:58Speaker 1: is what he wrote. Jane Doe sodomized me. Nobody cared
- 41:04Speaker 1: that I was sexually assaulted and I'm a sex assault survivor.
- 41:09Speaker 1: Are you kidding? We're to believe that he was forcibly
- 41:14Speaker 1: sodomized when he had invited her over. She agreed for
- 41:19Speaker 1: threesome provided the ketamine. And as far as we know,
- 41:23Speaker 1: maybe other drugs, they had already boozed up before that.
- 41:27Speaker 1: He's a victim of being sodomized.
- 41:30Speaker 2: Well, no, here's the thing. I don't believe it either,
- 41:35Speaker 2: but it's amazing that you will not believe that that's ridiculous,
- 41:40Speaker 2: but you'll believe the, the person that came out Jane Doe. And,
- 41:43Speaker 2: and listen, I do too. What I'm saying is there
- 41:47Speaker 2: has to be a fair process in this whole thing.
- 41:50Speaker 2: And it's not a slam dunk. And we really haven't
- 41:53Speaker 2: heard too much about From the other side.
- 41:55Speaker 1: And we're not going to. Because they've been told by
- 41:57Speaker 1: their attorneys, don't talk. Well, this guy already did in
- 42:00Speaker 1: his email. He said, I'm guilty of gender discrimination and entrapment.
- 42:05Speaker 2: Entrapment? I guarantee that was released by her attorney. All
- 42:09Speaker 2: I'm warning is, and I know everybody wants to jump
- 42:12Speaker 2: to conclusions. All I'm warning is, and thank you for
- 42:16Speaker 2: the people that wrote to me, the attorneys that wrote
- 42:18Speaker 2: to me. All I'm warning is, there's going to be
- 42:20Speaker 2: two sides. And we're going to slowly hear from the
- 42:23Speaker 2: other side. And so when we slowly hear from the
- 42:26Speaker 2: other side, it may very well be it's still a
- 42:28Speaker 2: slam dunk. And it may very well be that they
- 42:31Speaker 2: gang raped her and they're all sinister and they all
- 42:34Speaker 2: deserve to go to jail. That may very well be.
- 42:37Speaker 2: But we don't know all the facts.
- 42:39Speaker 1: So we only found out about this because of Jane Doe.
- 42:44Speaker 1: Not because of her lawsuit, because of her lawsuit, which
- 42:47Speaker 1: she never filed charges.
- 42:49Speaker 2: But then she did.
- 42:50Speaker 1: How could she file charges if she went to the police,
- 42:53Speaker 1: answered their questions.
- 42:55Speaker 2: Went to the law? She didn't go to the police
- 42:58Speaker 2: or the district attorney or municipal police. She went to
- 43:01Speaker 2: the school police. Well, because she told them... There'll be
- 43:04Speaker 2: no charges from them. It's 100% rape. She's entrusting them.
- 43:08Speaker 1: To carry the ball.
- 43:09Speaker 2: I get that, but you understand that. There's no charges
- 43:11Speaker 2: that can come from them. You're right. They withheld evidence.
- 43:14Speaker 1: Larry, when a guy... They are in trouble. This is
- 43:16Speaker 1: guy to guy, okay? Put aside all of this. When
- 43:19Speaker 1: a guy tells me... That he was forcibly sodomized by
- 43:24Speaker 1: Jane Doe after he invited her over for a threesome
- 43:27Speaker 1: that she agreed to.
- 43:28Speaker 2: Wait a second.
- 43:29Speaker 1: And then he was incapacitated at the time. Are you
- 43:32Speaker 1: going to believe he passed out?
- 43:34Speaker 2: Wait a second. Did he blame her? I didn't know
- 43:36Speaker 2: that he blamed her. Definitely. Did you read the whole statement?
- 43:38Speaker 1: Female, yes.
- 43:39Speaker 2: What did he say exactly? How did he say her?
- 43:41Speaker 1: He said, I am a sexual assault survivor. She forcibly
- 43:45Speaker 1: sodomized me when I was incapacitated. She?
- 43:47Speaker 2: He said she? Because I didn't read that in it. Well,
- 43:49Speaker 2: maybe his friend. He was sodomized. That's what I'm saying.
- 43:52Speaker 2: I mean, we... Listen. Barry.
- 43:55Speaker 3: Right... No.
- 43:56Speaker 2: So you're ready to convict?
- 43:58Speaker 1: Hey.
- 43:59Speaker 2: Without knowing anything on the other side, you're ready to convict?
- 44:01Speaker 1: I know how guys are. Come on, Larry. You know
- 44:03Speaker 1: how guys are.
- 44:03Speaker 3: Wow.
- 44:04Speaker 2: You don't want you on any jury ever.
- 44:06Speaker 1: What guy would ever say I was forcibly sodomized by
- 44:09Speaker 1: a woman? You're right.
- 44:10Speaker 2: I believe her. I'm telling you right now, I believe her.
- 44:14Speaker 2: But that's on not knowing all the facts. All we know, really,
- 44:20Speaker 2: is what came out from her lawsuit. And we've already
- 44:23Speaker 2: found out there are three or four things that are incorrect.
- 44:27Speaker 1: I'm not on the jury. I wouldn't be picked for
- 44:29Speaker 1: the jury. I would be part of jury nullification. But
- 44:32Speaker 1: this guy, Matthew Ingalls, the ringleader, guilty as charged. And
- 44:37Speaker 1: he's the one who put it out on Snapchat.
- 44:39Speaker 18: Come on up.
- 44:40Speaker 1: Get yourself some free you-know-what.
- 44:42Speaker 2: Isn't he one of the ones, one of the first ones,
- 44:45Speaker 2: where she said, yes, I would agree to that?
- 44:48Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 44:48Speaker 2: So he can't be charged with rape.
- 44:51Speaker 1: What do you mean he can't be charged?
- 44:52Speaker 2: Because that was consensual. She agreed to the first two.
- 44:56Speaker 2: She said that.
- 44:57Speaker 1: Larry, did you not hear what he wrote to them?
- 44:59Speaker 1: He wants her to be charged for sexually assaulting him.
- 45:02Speaker 2: No, I get that, and that's ridiculous. But that has
- 45:04Speaker 2: nothing to do with his guilt or innocence. That has
- 45:06Speaker 2: nothing to do with his guilt or innocence. In his
- 45:09Speaker 2: own words. Listen, no, in her own words.
- 45:11Speaker 1: She said.
- 45:13Speaker 2: I agreed to the first two.
- 45:14Speaker 1: Larry, you couldn't be more hopelessly wrong. You don't listen.
- 45:17Speaker 2: You never listen. No, how can I be wrong? I'm
- 45:21Speaker 2: not even taking a side. I'm telling you that if
- 45:23Speaker 2: I were to take a side, I'd take her side.
- 45:25Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 45:26Speaker 2: I'm just telling you that there are two sides to this,
- 45:29Speaker 2: and we're only hearing one. And this is going to
- 45:32Speaker 2: play out as a legal process. And people that have
- 45:35Speaker 2: prosecuted these cases and defended these cases, as Josh Ritter
- 45:40Speaker 2: has done both, say it's not a slam dunk.
- 45:42Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm talking to you male to male. What
- 45:46Speaker 1: male ever says, oh, the woman forcibly sodomized me while
- 45:51Speaker 1: I was incapacitated. I'm a victim of sexual assault. You
- 45:55Speaker 1: keep going back to something that's irrelevant. It's his email.
- 46:00Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. It's not relevant to what she's claiming.
- 46:04Speaker 2: You're saying that that's another charge. He's not charging him
- 46:07Speaker 2: with anything. He might have said something stupid. It's irrelevant.
- 46:11Speaker 2: When you're talking about the case, it's was she gang raped?
- 46:15Speaker 2: Did she consent? Was she sober enough to give consent?
- 46:21Speaker 2: Because under New York state law, that's another problem. So
- 46:26Speaker 2: in a courtroom, all of the things that you were
- 46:29Speaker 2: attacking and a lot of people attack, they're not relevant.
- 46:31Speaker 1: Larry. You know something? There's something called the First Amendment
- 46:34Speaker 1: right of free speech in America. I have a right
- 46:37Speaker 1: to give my opinion as all of America is given
- 46:40Speaker 1: its opinion. I'm not in the freaking court. I'm not
- 46:42Speaker 1: going to be in the jury pool. But when a
- 46:45Speaker 1: guy tells me he was forcibly sodomized while incapacitated and
- 46:49Speaker 1: in his own words says, I am a sexual assault victim,
- 46:53Speaker 1: she raped me. crazy because nobody's stopping you you've got
- 46:56Speaker 1: to say everything you wanted to say so why do
- 46:58Speaker 1: you i have a first amendment right.
- 47:00Speaker 18: But you act like oh yeah what are you talking
- 47:02Speaker 18: about i didn't say that you didn't listen as always
- 47:05Speaker 18: you never listen upper west side guess what they got
- 47:09Speaker 18: another owl that everybody wants to see plus you get
- 47:13Speaker 18: a chance to see a bronx tale the one-man show
- 47:16Speaker 18: starring chas palminteri i'll.
- 47:18Speaker 2: See it all do me a favor and google an
- 47:21Speaker 2: american barn owl owl Because they are gorgeous. They are very,
- 47:28Speaker 2: very rare and especially rare to see in New York
- 47:33Speaker 2: City or any city. They're called a barn owl for
- 47:36Speaker 2: a reason. They like to go out in the rural areas.
- 47:40Speaker 2: They hang around farms and look for varmints to eat. Well,
- 47:43Speaker 2: guess what? There is one in New York City now
- 47:47Speaker 2: taking Flacco's spot.
- 47:49Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
- 47:50Speaker 2: As the big owl. Now he's He's been spotted. Here's
- 47:53Speaker 2: where he's been spotted so far. In the backyards of
- 47:57Speaker 2: buildings between West 75th and 76th Streets on the Upper
- 48:02Speaker 2: West Side, from Columbus to Central Park West. And there's
- 48:07Speaker 2: a woman that has been trying to find it. She
- 48:09Speaker 2: saw it, but she wanted the picture. And I guess
- 48:11Speaker 2: there's going to be a lot of people, as you said, Curtis,
- 48:14Speaker 2: going out trying to get it. Pictures of this now.
- 48:16Speaker 2: She has the only picture so far, the only proof
- 48:19Speaker 2: so far that it exists. It's a little bit fuzzy,
- 48:22Speaker 2: but this is Elizabeth Beale Williams.
- 48:25Speaker 3: It's a rare bird, for one. But it's also a
- 48:28Speaker 3: bird that people are fascinated with. People love owls. And
- 48:33Speaker 3: that species doesn't come around much in general.
- 48:37Speaker 1: Oh, that was my favorite growing up. An owl, and
- 48:41Speaker 1: obviously Flaco, I and Nancy went to the documentary. The
- 48:44Speaker 1: theme being a year of freedom versus lifetime in a
- 48:48Speaker 1: cage in the Central Park Zoo. Very, very, this is interesting.
- 48:53Speaker 1: And now a new owl, barn owl, all the birdies
- 48:57Speaker 1: are going to be out. I guarantee you with their binoculars, telescopes,
- 49:01Speaker 1: looking for, and they got to come up with a name.
- 49:03Speaker 1: You know, maybe today we can come up with a name.
- 49:05Speaker 1: Nancy and I are attending a luncheon. Of all the
- 49:08Speaker 1: animal welfare people that I joined up in Marshall to
- 49:11Speaker 1: try to rescue the beagles in the Upper West Side,
- 49:13Speaker 1: right in that vicinity that you described. Maybe we'll come
- 49:16Speaker 1: up with a name for the Barn Owl.
- 49:18Speaker 2: Maybe you'll see the Barn Owl. Yeah. You have to
- 49:20Speaker 2: keep your head on a swivel. Keep looking up in
- 49:22Speaker 2: the air. See if you can see the Barn Owl.
- 49:24Speaker 2: But this is it's kind of amazing. But you just
- 49:27Speaker 2: said a moment ago the other Al Flacco was in
- 49:30Speaker 2: a zoo. So at least it was used a little
- 49:32Speaker 2: bit to city life. This guy or girl. Has to
- 49:36Speaker 2: be confused.
- 49:37Speaker 1: That's the other thing. We got to figure out if
- 49:39Speaker 1: it's a guy or a girl. I know. I know.
- 49:41Speaker 2: If you're going to name it, you have to come
- 49:43Speaker 2: up with one of those names that can go either way.
- 49:45Speaker 1: What about Prime for the Times? He, she, they?
- 49:51Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 49:52Speaker 1: It's a he, she, they. What does that mean? Absolutely nothing.
- 49:56Speaker 4: Just come up with a gender neutral name. It'll be good.
- 49:59Speaker 2: I'd love to hear from somebody that saw The Owl.
- 50:01Speaker 7: I know.
- 50:02Speaker 2: Although I guess very few people have seen it so far,
- 50:05Speaker 2: but we do have photographic proof that it exists.
- 50:08Speaker 3: Yes.
- 50:09Speaker 2: It's kind of amazing. Let's get to your talkbacks.
- 50:11Speaker 7: Well, as usual, you guys are wrong again.
- 50:14Speaker 2: There are three sides to this story.
- 50:16Speaker 15: Oh.
- 50:17Speaker 7: The third side is the lawyer side, the money side.
- 50:21Speaker 7: Big money is going to get made by lots of lawyers,
- 50:25Speaker 7: and nobody will be satisfied except the lawyers. It's the
- 50:31Speaker 7: way of the world. Lawyers are the bane of our existence.
- 50:35Speaker 2: Yeah, you didn't think we knew that lawyers profited for
- 50:38Speaker 2: somehow in that whole thing? I just think that was
- 50:40Speaker 2: so obvious we didn't state it.
- 50:41Speaker 12: I'm a plumber for 50 years, and it's a great
- 50:45Speaker 12: time to become a plumber. But what I guess I
- 50:48Speaker 12: hear from a lot of the young people is that
- 50:50Speaker 12: they don't know if that's going to be what they
- 50:52Speaker 12: need to do. And I keep telling them, try it
- 50:55Speaker 12: and see what happens and see if this is what
- 50:57Speaker 12: you're supposed to be doing. And then, you know, go
- 50:59Speaker 12: from there. So the bottom line is, you know, I
- 51:02Speaker 12: hope everybody does well and talk to you soon.
- 51:06Speaker 1: Great advice. Great advice. You know, learn the skill. Maybe
- 51:09Speaker 1: you want to go on and do other things, but
- 51:11Speaker 1: you always have this skill to fall back on because
- 51:13Speaker 1: Everybody needs a plumber.
- 51:15Speaker 2: That's true. Well, I just threw out Timu talking about
- 51:20Speaker 2: getting deliveries. And I threw out Timu, and a lot
- 51:22Speaker 2: of people want to talk about Timu.
- 51:24Speaker 1: Okay, Larry. I love Timu.
- 51:27Speaker 10: I love everything I get, and if I don't love it,
- 51:30Speaker 10: I send it back, and they give me the credit
- 51:32Speaker 10: right away. I wear them to work. Everybody compliments them.
- 51:36Speaker 10: They ask me where I get them. I say Neiman Marcus.
- 51:39Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah, there's the difference between you and me.
- 51:44Speaker 2: If I get something and I don't like it, I
- 51:46Speaker 2: usually just throw it out. But sending it back, that's
- 51:49Speaker 2: really smart, and I just wish I had– I wish
- 51:53Speaker 2: I was a different person. What is that service? What
- 51:55Speaker 2: is that service you're talking about? It's a Chinese company,
- 51:59Speaker 2: and they undercut. Amazon.
- 52:02Speaker 1: Yeah, it is.
- 52:03Speaker 2: It's red China.
- 52:04Speaker 1: So they get all your information.
- 52:05Speaker 2: But it doesn't matter because the prices are so damn low.
- 52:10Speaker 2: It's amazing.
- 52:11Speaker 1: They're getting all your information.
- 52:13Speaker 4: I don't buy from Timu, but.
- 52:15Speaker 2: You've never bought from Timu. You're the only person I know,
- 52:19Speaker 2: except Curtis who didn't even hear of it. You're the
- 52:21Speaker 2: only person I know that hasn't I've been tempted. How
- 52:24Speaker 2: did you not know about Timu? They advertise everywhere, anywhere
- 52:27Speaker 2: you go.
- 52:28Speaker 1: I hate that. I hate, as you know, all the
- 52:30Speaker 1: delivery services starting with Amazon.
- 52:32Speaker 2: Now let's get the news at 7.30 with Daria Albinger.
- 52:36Speaker 1: Daria.
- 52:36Speaker 13: Never bought anything from Timu either.
- 52:38Speaker 2: Wow.
- 52:38Speaker 13: Yeah, so it's a couple of us. Mostly sunny and
- 52:41Speaker 13: a little warmer today. High 67 degrees. President Trump says
- 52:45Speaker 13: he wants to talk to Russian leader Vladimir Putin as
- 52:47Speaker 13: soon as he can about reports of the pneumonic plague
- 52:49Speaker 13: in Russia. after the death of a researcher at an
- 52:52Speaker 13: anti-plague institute in Siberia.
- 52:54Speaker 19: Under a global health pact, countries have 24 hours to
- 52:57Speaker 19: report anything that could become an international emergency. Russia yesterday
- 53:02Speaker 19: told the World Health Organization the 28-year-old died of pneumonia,
- 53:06Speaker 19: that her illness looked like an ordinary respiratory virus, and
- 53:09Speaker 19: that no plague was found. The WHO wrote back asking
- 53:13Speaker 19: what caused her pneumonia. And overnight, it was still waiting
- 53:16Speaker 19: for the answer.
- 53:17Speaker 13: ABC's Hannah Batta today marks three years since a Hamas
- 53:20Speaker 13: attack on Israel, which resulted in more than 1,200 deaths
- 53:24Speaker 13: and hundreds of kidnappings. The International Fellowship of Christians and
- 53:27Speaker 13: Jews says there has been an increase on attacks on
- 53:31Speaker 13: synagogues ever since. Students at Cornell are planning to skip
- 53:34Speaker 13: class today in protest of an alleged 2024 gang rape
- 53:38Speaker 13: on campus.
- 53:38Speaker 20: The school's newspaper is reporting what's called a seven-hour sit-in
- 53:41Speaker 20: this afternoon and evening will show solidarity with survivors of
- 53:45Speaker 20: sex assault. Meanwhile, Cornell faculty is preparing a no-confidence vote
- 53:49Speaker 20: against the university administration. Cornell is facing heavy criticism on
- 53:53Speaker 20: how it handled rape allegations brought by a former student.
- 53:56Speaker 20: University President Michael Kotikoff tells the student newspaper there will
- 53:59Speaker 20: be proposals going forward to try and improve the culture
- 54:02Speaker 20: and address the problem.
- 54:03Speaker 2: We are listening.
- 54:04Speaker 1: We are learning.
- 54:05Speaker 20: Career federal prosecutor Sally Yates is leading an investigation into
- 54:08Speaker 20: how the university responded.
- 54:10Speaker 1: I'm Scott Pringle, WOR News.
- 54:12Speaker 13: City health officials have confirmed at least two cases of
- 54:15Speaker 13: Legionnaire's disease on Staten Island following an investigation into the
- 54:18Speaker 13: hot water system at the Castleton Park Apartments. They say
- 54:22Speaker 13: this case is not focused on a cooling tower. and
- 54:25Speaker 13: that there's no risk to the surrounding area. Rangers beat
- 54:28Speaker 13: the Islanders, and the Devils lost. Next news, 8 o'clock,
- 54:31Speaker 13: bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
- 54:35Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what. Every time Donald Trump misspeaks
- 54:38Speaker 2: in one of these rallies, wow, does everybody go with it.
- 54:44Speaker 2: There's been a couple recently, and we'll go through them,
- 54:48Speaker 2: just so that people can rant about, you know, He's ridiculous.
- 54:52Speaker 2: He meant this. He's going to do this. And all
- 54:56Speaker 2: of it is just in jest. But we'll play it
- 54:58Speaker 2: when we come back. Now, let me tell you about LifeVac.
- 55:02Speaker 2: I told you a moment ago of all of the
- 55:05Speaker 2: lives just recently that LifeVac is saved. And that's exactly
- 55:11Speaker 2: how fast something can happen. There was a woman that
- 55:14Speaker 2: started choking in her own apartment. And there was no
- 55:18Speaker 2: one else around. And guess what? She had a LifeVac.
- 55:21Speaker 2: she saved a life, her own life. Seconds matter when
- 55:25Speaker 2: something like that happens. Having the right piece of equipment
- 55:29Speaker 2: right nearby matters, and that's why you should have LifeVac.
- 55:33Speaker 2: It's the first and only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device to
- 55:38Speaker 2: be used for second-line treatment when recommended choking protocols have
- 55:43Speaker 2: been followed without success. And here's what's remarkable. LifeVac has
- 55:48Speaker 2: helped save over 6,000 lives worldwide. That's not just a number.
- 55:53Speaker 2: Those are real people, real families, real second chances. Preparedness matters.
- 55:59Speaker 2: Having the right tool nearby can make all the difference
- 56:02Speaker 2: in the world. Learn more about LifeVac today at LifeVac.net.
- 56:06Speaker 2: That's LifeVac.net. Visit LifeVac.net and you'll be ready the next
- 56:12Speaker 2: time it counts.
- 56:13Speaker 1: Larry, the president of the United States, Donald Trump is
- 56:17Speaker 1: living up to his promise to barnstorm every area he
- 56:21Speaker 1: possibly can between now and November 3rd. It was the
- 56:26Speaker 1: other night he was at Grand Island, Nebraska, packed crowd,
- 56:30Speaker 1: unexpectedly a very close race for senator. I think the
- 56:35Speaker 1: Republican Senator Ricketts and an independent, which I haven't quite
- 56:39Speaker 1: yet figured out, but Let's face it, he's sort of
- 56:42Speaker 1: like the substitute for the Democrat. But it's neck and neck,
- 56:45Speaker 1: like it seems to be in a lot of Senate
- 56:47Speaker 1: races all over the country. And the president was talking
- 56:50Speaker 1: about issues that affect people in Nebraska. And then he
- 56:55Speaker 1: started talking about why you got to sacrifice a little
- 56:59Speaker 1: bit by paying more prices in order to deal with
- 57:03Speaker 1: Iran and its nuclear threat. And then he dropped a
- 57:08Speaker 1: statement saying, that resonated that the White House had to
- 57:11Speaker 1: respond to yesterday. So let's play that statement. If they
- 57:14Speaker 1: can take out a city, let them take out Los Angeles.
- 57:18Speaker 2: Let them take out San Diego. This is a very
- 57:22Speaker 2: small price to pay.
- 57:25Speaker 1: So the crowd is enthusiastic. They're up. They're clapping. Clearly,
- 57:33Speaker 1: we're at war with Iran because now he mentions war
- 57:35Speaker 1: with Iran all the time. He doesn't... He doesn't downplay
- 57:39Speaker 1: it at all. But that's not a good sound. It's
- 57:42Speaker 1: not a good look. It hurts Republicans running in California, obviously,
- 57:47Speaker 1: San Diego, Los Angeles, very big cities. So I don't
- 57:51Speaker 1: understand it. And he doesn't have a press spokesman. So
- 57:55Speaker 1: the person who did respond is Stephen Chung, doesn't have
- 57:58Speaker 1: the best bedside manner. And so he responded yesterday. He said,
- 58:04Speaker 1: the media freak out over Trump's comments is not rooted
- 58:07Speaker 1: in reality. He was clearly stating versus us U.S. cities
- 58:13Speaker 1: would have been threatened if a nuclear Iran had been stopped.
- 58:16Speaker 1: America is safer because of Trump. Why would the president
- 58:21Speaker 1: say something like that in the middle of a very
- 58:23Speaker 1: heated campaign? where both sides are running either with them
- 58:27Speaker 1: or against them. Let's face it, the whole Democratic campaign
- 58:30Speaker 1: is anti-Trump. And if you're running as a Republican, other
- 58:33Speaker 1: than Susan Collins and a few others, you're attached to
- 58:37Speaker 1: Donald Trump. So why would he drop that?
- 58:39Speaker 2: I understand why you wanted to talk about it. And
- 58:42Speaker 2: I understand, even though it's two days old, why we're
- 58:44Speaker 2: talking about it today. And it was heavily played on
- 58:50Speaker 2: CNN and it was heavily played on MSNBC and all
- 58:54Speaker 2: the usual suspects. I get that. But do you trust factcheck.org?
- 59:00Speaker 2: They're pretty objective, right? They usually side against the president
- 59:04Speaker 2: on these things.
- 59:05Speaker 1: What does that have to do with what he said?
- 59:07Speaker 1: I just listened to.
- 59:08Speaker 2: What he said. No, you just heard a clip. of
- 59:10Speaker 2: what he said. That's what out of context means, to
- 59:13Speaker 2: take something out of context.
- 59:15Speaker 1: I'd be very interested to see your spin on this.
- 59:17Speaker 1: It's not mine.
- 59:18Speaker 2: It isn't mine. I'm going to read to you from factcheck.org, who,
- 59:21Speaker 2: by the way, is the go-to source for these type
- 59:24Speaker 2: of things. It was taken out of context. His remarks
- 59:29Speaker 2: did not advocate an attack on U.S. cities or suggest
- 59:32Speaker 2: their destruction would be an acceptable cost. Trump first referenced
- 59:37Speaker 2: the war in Iran a few minutes into his Nebraska speech. Quote,
- 59:41Speaker 2: We're saving the world from what could be one of
- 59:44Speaker 2: the worst tragedies ever, he said, adding that the war
- 59:47Speaker 2: could end soon, and when it does, the price of
- 59:50Speaker 2: oil will come tumbling down. After riffing on other topics,
- 59:53Speaker 2: he eventually came back to the subject of the war,
- 59:56Speaker 2: which is when he made his controversial comments about Los
- 59:59Speaker 2: Angeles and San Diego. What immediately preceded those statements, however,
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: suggests that Trump wasn't calling for the destruction of those cities,
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: but rather saying that protecting them is worth paying a
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: bit more at the pump. It's a little bit high.
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: It's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe,
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: keeping our country safe. They would take out a city.
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: That's what he said before that.
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: The only people who have that capacity now who didn't
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: have nuclear weapons before is North Korea, who now have
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: the ballistic capacity to deliver 57 warheads, as the president
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: recently said. They can reach the West Coast. Iran has
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: no ability to reach the West Coast. So why would
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: he mention L.A., San Diego?
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: Because they're working on nuclear weapons. That's the whole reason
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: we're doing this. You heard from the beginning what the
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: reason was for going in. And he's been pretty consistent
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: in saying that over and over again. So when they
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: get nuclear weapons, why do you think they would use them?
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: And wouldn't they then want to use them against us?
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: Well, no, they would use it on Europe. They're closer, Israel.
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: And maybe if they had the capacity, the East Coast,
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: New York, Washington, D.C., they're not going to hit L.A.,
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: San Diego.
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: Right now, no. But what his point is, he doesn't
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: want them to be used against the United States. You're
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: deflecting a little bit. So when you hear it in
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: context now, does that change your mind?
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: Well, if I'm a Republican in California struggling to run
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: and they all condemned him for that, he's not helping
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: Republicans get elected and he needs to win the House.
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: Right, because it was all taken out of context and
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: it was run by you and by CNN and by everybody.
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: Everybody was giddy about it. Oh, we got him, we
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: got him, we got him. But when you really do
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: your work and you listen and you get the whole speech...
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: And you go to objective sources like factcheck.org, you can
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: understand that. And believe me, I get politics. I understand
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: that the Republicans would do the same thing. There's no
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: question they'd do the same thing. Take this out of
- 1:02:00Speaker 2: context to make a political point.
- 1:02:02Speaker 3: But.
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: If we want to deal in facts, that's not what
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: he meant.
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: Look, it ain't helping the Republicans. I'm sensing a bloodbath
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: is coming, Larry. So you can say he misspoke or
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: maybe he meant one thing. It doesn't come across well.
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: And he's had a series of these verbal faux pas
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: that are not helping Republicans on the stump.
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: What you just heard from factcheck.org, it wasn't a verbal
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: faux pas. It was taken as an ad. It was
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: taken out of context. It was run on the news.
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: Just that small statement, not the entire thought.
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: But if I'm the Republican in California trying to win
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: House seats, some of them, they're ahead. That is going
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: to be used against me by my Democratic opponent over
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: and over and over. It ain't helping Republicans, Larry. This
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: is the whole idea.
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: The Republicans ain't looking at California, and it doesn't really
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: make any difference. It's not the point. It is the
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: point that, yes, they're going to play dirty, and the
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: Republicans are too, and they're going to take things out
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: of context, and they're going to play it, and you
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: fell for it. And so you're grabbing onto it. You
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: think it's going to be the biggest thing. It's going
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: to change the election.
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: It's one of many Trumpisms. We're looking at a bloodbath here.
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: Get prepared.
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: I don't think we're getting the bloodbath.
- 1:03:17Speaker 21: Okay.
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: I don't think we're getting the bloodbath. And this is
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: somebody that looks at this stuff every single day. I
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: think they're going to lose the House. There's definite. I
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: think the Senate right now is a toss-up.
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: This ain't helping it.
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: It doesn't help it because you want to talk about
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: it and CNN wants to talk about it. I didn't
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: even bring.
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: It up yesterday. It was all over the news.
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: Right, and I thought to myself, whoa.
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: The Republicans brought it.
- 1:03:42Speaker 18: Up in California.
- 1:03:43Speaker 2: We talked about it in the morning and you waited
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: until today.
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: Oh, Larry, come on. We talked about it in the morning.
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: Up next, let's talk about something more important to us here.
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: Game three for the Yankees. And Natalia Migliore was out
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: in the streets to find out.
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: New York fans still pulling? Mind, heart, and soul for
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: the Yankees? My tech. Now, it's 710 WOR Speed on
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: the Street with Natalie Migliore. Ah, Natalie from the streets
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: where it could be one and done. Tonight, Yankee Stadium,
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: they're down two to Tampa. What was the responses from
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: the Yankee cognoscente and also the non-Yankee cognoscente? Yeah, yeah.
- 1:04:29Speaker 22: The Yankees head back to the Bronx in a do-or-die
- 1:04:33Speaker 22: ALDS game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays are
- 1:04:36Speaker 22: up 2-0 in the best-of-five series, so they really are
- 1:04:40Speaker 22: going to have to make an impact tonight.
- 1:04:41Speaker 23: Basketball preseason is underway.
- 1:04:44Speaker 22: NHL is back on the ice with the Rangers beating
- 1:04:47Speaker 22: the Islanders at MSG last night. So the question is...
- 1:04:51Speaker 22: Are fans, particularly in Queens, even if they're wearing Yankee hats,
- 1:04:58Speaker 22: are they.
- 1:04:59Speaker 4: It's true.
- 1:04:59Speaker 22: Because people are walking around with Yankee hats and you're
- 1:05:03Speaker 22: going to find out, are they paying attention to the
- 1:05:06Speaker 22: MLB postseason?
- 1:05:07Speaker 4: Sadly, no. I'm a total fake fan. And you live
- 1:05:13Speaker 4: in Queens?
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: And I live in Queens, which is even worse. I
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: do have a Mets hat. I thought about wearing it.
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: And of course, here I am caught without it. So
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: I deserve this. I deserve it.
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: No, not at all.
- 1:05:23Speaker 4: What's your sport?
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: I don't like any of the athletes anymore.
- 1:05:27Speaker 4: Since some of them started taking a knee with the
- 1:05:29Speaker 4: national anthem, that's it.
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: Not this week.
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: No.
- 1:05:33Speaker 22: Is there just sort of like a superstition surrounding it
- 1:05:36Speaker 22: right now?
- 1:05:37Speaker 21: Yeah, and they're playing a little embarrassing right now, so
- 1:05:40Speaker 21: I'd rather them get out of it on their own.
- 1:05:43Speaker 22: Yeah, they are going to have to get out of
- 1:05:44Speaker 22: it on their own because Yankees fans are trying to
- 1:05:46Speaker 22: stay positive after watching the team make three errors in
- 1:05:50Speaker 22: just the first.
- 1:05:51Speaker 23: Inning in game two.
- 1:05:52Speaker 4: You should have seen me.
- 1:05:54Speaker 22: On the couch clutching the blankets as I was like,
- 1:05:57Speaker 22: what is going on?
- 1:05:59Speaker 23: But it only got worse from there.
- 1:06:03Speaker 22: Still, Yankees spirit is going strong, so strong that in
- 1:06:07Speaker 22: the middle of Astoria, there are just as many Yankees
- 1:06:11Speaker 22: hats as there are Mets hats.
- 1:06:14Speaker 4: And I had to ask, what's up with that?
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: I wish I had an answer for that.
- 1:06:18Speaker 21: I'm from the Bronx and I've lived in Queens now
- 1:06:21Speaker 21: for 17 years but so that's home I grew up
- 1:06:24Speaker 21: 10 blocks away from the stadium but yeah this is
- 1:06:26Speaker 21: home now and unfortunately the Mets have also been terrible
- 1:06:29Speaker 21: so I mean people just.
- 1:06:31Speaker 6: Wear Yankee hats because it's like the most popular thing
- 1:06:34Speaker 6: I think but yeah like I think you'll see more
- 1:06:37Speaker 6: Mets fans when there are actual games happening because they're
- 1:06:39Speaker 6: always going to the bars especially right here on Broadway
- 1:06:41Speaker 6: but yeah I feel like everyone is just wearing Yankee
- 1:06:43Speaker 6: hats to say like oh yeah like I'm showing off
- 1:06:46Speaker 6: that I'm living in New York you know.
- 1:06:48Speaker 22: Yeah, the Mets fan just calling it like she sees it. Typically,
- 1:06:51Speaker 22: I could stop somebody with a Yankee hat. And sometimes,
- 1:06:54Speaker 22: especially if you're in the middle of Midtown, they have
- 1:06:56Speaker 22: an accent. And they'll tell you they're not from— it' s not.
- 1:07:00Speaker 4: A New York accent.
- 1:07:01Speaker 23: They're like, oh, I'm from Germany.
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: And you're like, oh, okay.
- 1:07:05Speaker 22: So you feel like you're in New— it' s the feeling of
- 1:07:07Speaker 22: New York.
- 1:07:08Speaker 23: I don't typically see tourists wearing Mets hats.
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: No, they don't want to be losers.
- 1:07:15Speaker 23: And the funny thing.
- 1:07:16Speaker 22: About going around asking people about You would think I
- 1:07:22Speaker 22: was asking them like a hard-hitting political question.
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: The Knicks changed all that.
- 1:07:27Speaker 22: But the problem is that it's because Yankees fans, we're down.
- 1:07:32Speaker 23: The Yankees are down. So they don't want to jinx it.
- 1:07:34Speaker 22: There's just like sense of superstition as I was talking
- 1:07:37Speaker 22: to one of the guys.
- 1:07:38Speaker 23: Is it the sense of superstition?
- 1:07:39Speaker 4: And the Mets fans.
- 1:07:41Speaker 22: They just don't want to see anything good for the Yankees.
- 1:07:46Speaker 18: Okay.
- 1:07:47Speaker 4: Now, I had to, like, masquerade. I had to be
- 1:07:49Speaker 4: really neutral out there.
- 1:07:51Speaker 23: No, but it's cool because sports are fun.
- 1:07:53Speaker 22: Now, Max Reed will take the mound for the Yankees
- 1:07:56Speaker 22: with Nick Martinez starting for the Rays. The last time
- 1:07:59Speaker 22: the Yankees came back from a two-game deficit in the
- 1:08:03Speaker 22: ALDS was in 2017 against Cleveland. So almost 10 years
- 1:08:09Speaker 22: ago now. Yankees fans feel like any win for New
- 1:08:12Speaker 22: York is a win.
- 1:08:15Speaker 4: Not so much for the Mets fans.
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: The Knicks changed all that.
- 1:08:18Speaker 21: After seeing the city win, I think my best case
- 1:08:20Speaker 21: scenario is Yankees make it, Mets make it, and then
- 1:08:23Speaker 21: the Yankees would come out on top.
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: So no more animosity.
- 1:08:25Speaker 21: The Knicks kind of changed that in the city.
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: I'm good now.
- 1:08:27Speaker 21: Because ultimately, we see the energy that's in the city now,
- 1:08:30Speaker 21: and so I think what's best for the city first,
- 1:08:32Speaker 21: and then you can root for your team after that.
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: So New York over everything. Except for the Islanders. I
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: support all New York teams.
- 1:08:38Speaker 9: I just got caught in the middle of Queens without
- 1:08:40Speaker 9: a Queens hat, so I feel like the fool.
- 1:08:42Speaker 3: Eh.
- 1:08:44Speaker 6: I don't really care, honestly, for the Yankees. But, yeah,
- 1:08:48Speaker 6: I don't really like seeing them win. I feel like
- 1:08:50Speaker 6: they have enough wins.
- 1:08:51Speaker 13: Do you see the difference?
- 1:08:52Speaker 4: Yes, I hear you see the difference.
- 1:08:53Speaker 22: Start some positivity with the Yankee fan Get a match.
- 1:08:57Speaker 23: They have too many wins.
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: Too many wins. There's two things I pick up from this.
- 1:09:03Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: You were talking to a lot of millennials. I could
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: tell from the voice.
- 1:09:06Speaker 21: Okay.
- 1:09:06Speaker 4: Thank you.
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: Recent transports from probably other states. So they want to
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: wear a Yankee cat because I'm a real New Yorker.
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: You know, that's like synonymous with New York. I get that.
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: Then you heard the guy from the Bronx. Raised in
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: the Bronx. I'm not giving up my loyalty to the Yankees,
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: even though I've lived in Queens for 18 years. That's
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: a real fan, unlike Sid Rosenberg over at WABC, who
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: gave up the Mets and cursed the Yankees. Don't bring
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: none of that to my segment here.
- 1:09:36Speaker 23: And I don't want the bad juju.
- 1:09:38Speaker 22: The Yankees need this, okay?
- 1:09:40Speaker 20: And I think.
- 1:09:41Speaker 23: Look, sports is a great thing.
- 1:09:43Speaker 22: And I think the crazy thing that I found yesterday
- 1:09:45Speaker 22: or when I was talking to these people is like.
- 1:09:48Speaker 23: The crazy thing is like, why are we taking it
- 1:09:50Speaker 23: so seriously?
- 1:09:52Speaker 13: But I think.
- 1:09:52Speaker 22: People feel like They're so close to tasting a win again.
- 1:09:57Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:09:58Speaker 23: And they loved what they felt with the Knicks, and
- 1:10:01Speaker 23: they want that again, you know?
- 1:10:02Speaker 12: Wow.
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: The one guy you had that said that, what you
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: just said, was brilliant. I love that guy. The guy
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: that said.
- 1:10:08Speaker 17: Oh, yeah, he's great.
- 1:10:09Speaker 2: He's just cheering for New York at this point, just
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: like Curtis. He's a street philosopher. Hell no, I hate
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: the Mets.
- 1:10:15Speaker 3: Oh, God.
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: But anyway, Natalie Migliore will be back with us, same time,
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: same place, tomorrow at 7.50. Well, there are two.
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: Executions that are getting a lot of attention. I know
- 1:10:28Speaker 2: executions always get a lot of attention, but these two
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: are unusual because they are firsts. Well, one is the
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: first since 1961, but somebody surviving two lethal injections is unprecedented.
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: And Krista Pike, who survived Tennessee's attempt to put her
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: to death via lethal injection last week, will be in
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: court Wednesday, apparently. She is speaking. She seems to be
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: coherent at this point. So it is a full recovery
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: at this point. Pike has been hospitalized for nearly a
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: week after being injected by two fatal doses of pentobarbital.
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: On Tuesday, her attorney said she was finally conscious and speaking,
- 1:11:19Speaker 2: though she continues to receive critical medical care and suffered
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: some damage to her arms, but no damage that is
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: discernible at this point to her heart or to her brain.
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: Her prognosis remains a little bit unclear, but at a minimum,
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: they expect a recovery, even though it will be a
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: lengthy recovery. And the reason this is all coming from
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: the defense attorney's The reason they keep talking about a
- 1:11:52Speaker 2: lengthy recovery is because they say that she should not
- 1:11:57Speaker 2: be put to death while she is recovering. And so
- 1:12:02Speaker 2: a recovery that's going to take a year would be
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: wonderful for her. A recovery that's going to take 10
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: years would be wonderful for her. In the meantime, Krista
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: Pike and her attorneys are suing the state for cruel
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: and unusual punishment. That's why they're going to be having
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: a hearing tomorrow. I read that from CNN about Krista
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: Pike being there, and she's not going to be there.
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: She's not going to be there. It's going to be
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: her attorneys that are going to be representing her, and
- 1:12:28Speaker 2: they're coming after the state on this, and they should.
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: They absolutely botched it. The head of the prisons had
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: to resign over this. And listen, this was 23 years
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: in the making from when she was sentenced. 23 years
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: it took. And tens of millions of dollars. And then
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: they botch it. This is the whole reason I'm against
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: the death penalty. Just for this. I mean, I'm not
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: against it in theory, but the way it is applied now,
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: it makes no sense.
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: Side issue. Every time there's lethal injection, no matter who
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: it is, whoever the attendants are, do you know what
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: they do first before they find the vein and they
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: inject you? They swab you down with alcohol.
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: I know.
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: I always wondered. Wait a second. The guy or the– well,
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: mostly it's guys. In fact, Krista Pike is the first
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: woman to face execution in Tennessee in 200 years.
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: 200 years.
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: 200 years. But they swab you down with alcohol.
- 1:13:29Speaker 4: Make sure you don't get an infection.
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: Well, in this case.
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: In this case, maybe it could have helped a little bit.
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: So it's become, believe it or not, a political issue. Now,
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: Governor Bill Lee was proud of the fact that he
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: had four slated for execution. She was the first. Didn't
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: quite work out as they had hoped. But I didn't know.
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: He's not running for reelection. Marsha Blackburn, who is the senator,
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: is running for the governorship. And she's made this now
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: the campaign issue. No, you got to give her the
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: electric chair. And as you mentioned, Natalie, the last time
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: she had originally requested hanging because she says. My veins
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: are so small. I always have a hard time taking
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: any kind of an injection. So hang me instead.
- 1:14:16Speaker 5: She almost had a premonition of this, honestly, because she
- 1:14:19Speaker 5: really said she would rather have another way.
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: Right.
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: And that is one of the things that's going to
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: be brought up tomorrow when they go to court is
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: that she didn't want this and they turned her down
- 1:14:29Speaker 2: for another method. So that's definitely going to come up.
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to avoid the death penalty, though.
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: And that's what they're trying to do. They're not going
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: to avoid the death penalty because the governor really had
- 1:14:40Speaker 2: a good case when he said, it's not my decision.
- 1:14:44Speaker 2: This is what the people want. This is the people
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: voted for this. They want this overwhelmingly. And then when
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: you talk to the mother of the victim who traveled
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: there to watch this, and do you know nobody apologized
- 1:14:57Speaker 2: to her? Nobody said, I'm sorry. Nobody was there to
- 1:15:01Speaker 2: console her. They were so worried about themselves and then
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: screwing up. They didn't realize there's this crying woman whose
- 1:15:09Speaker 2: daughter was tortured, almost had her head cut off, who
- 1:15:13Speaker 2: was there to finally see justice and then had to
- 1:15:16Speaker 2: drive home.
- 1:15:17Speaker 4: I can't even imagine the trauma of that mother.
- 1:15:19Speaker 3: No.
- 1:15:20Speaker 4: I can't even imagine.
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: And that's why. I mean, Krista Pike, I'd rather put
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: her in prison and just forget about her. Now she's
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: become some type of a pseudo celebrity.
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: But there is a potential way to stay the execution.
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: We know it won't be the governor. The United States
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: Supreme Court has ruled in the past you can't execute
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: if they don't understand. Now, she's going to come into court,
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: but she may not be fully cognizant, if you understand
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: what I'm saying.
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: This has been done before. Remember Vinnie the Chin Gigante.
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: If you're not fully cognizant, the United States court decision
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: says you cannot execute. So I would think that might
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: be a strategy, since they've talked with their client. And
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: I don't think the client wants to die. Some people do,
- 1:16:10Speaker 1: but I think most clients facing the death penalty want
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: to live.
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: And if you read it between the lines of what
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: the attorney is saying, this is going to be a long–
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: she's still in critical condition even though the hospital is
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: not saying that. She's still in critical condition. She's not
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: aware of what's going on. What you're saying makes a
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: whole lot of sense when you listen to what he says.
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: Well, apparently she was on a ventilator. I know what
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: that's like. I was on a ventilator once. And they
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: had to remove the drug from her system, you know,
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: so it wouldn't stay. So it took a process. And
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: there's burns on her arms. In the process, she was
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: handcuffed and shackled to the bed, which... This happens no
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: matter who you are. If you're in the custody of
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: the state or the county or the city or the
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: federal government, whatever medical procedure, you are handcuffed and shackled.
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: I saw that myself in Bellevue after I had been
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: shot and was recovering. Every second bed was from somebody
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: in Rikers, and they were all handcuffed and shackled. But
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: this will be interesting today.
- 1:17:12Speaker 2: It is going to be really fascinating. That's a tremendous point.
- 1:17:15Speaker 2: I will tell you this, and this is as an aside.
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: because you were talking about what executions have been like
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: in the past and checking for veins and putting some
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: alcohol in. When John Wayne Gacy was killed, I was
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: allowed in two days before to see where he was
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: going to be held, where they were going to put
- 1:17:34Speaker 2: him on the gurney, and to see the execution room
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: and where they push all the buttons to first put
- 1:17:41Speaker 2: him to sleep and then second to give him the
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: lethal injection. I will tell you what's really fascinating. They
- 1:17:47Speaker 2: have either two or three sets of buttons, and some
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: of them are fake. Some of them don't do anything.
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: But it's so that the person that executes doesn't know
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: it's them.
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: Now, was that– I'm thinking. I've been at two prisons
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: in Illinois, Joliet or Statesville. Statesville, right down where Ronald
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: Reagan was born, Dixon, Illinois.
- 1:18:07Speaker 2: Yeah, I was in Joliet. That's where he was put
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: to death.
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: Oh, that is– oh, man. That is an ominous person.
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: That's where he was put to death. It's so funny.
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: I went in and I talked to the warden and
- 1:18:17Speaker 2: I said, okay, we're going to set up an interview.
- 1:18:19Speaker 2: And he goes, oh, I'm not talking to you. I said, well,
- 1:18:22Speaker 2: who's going to talk to us? And they said, nobody. Nobody.
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: You can take pictures. We're not talking about it. So
- 1:18:28Speaker 2: I pretend that I was John Wayne Gacy and walk
- 1:18:30Speaker 2: through the entire process. What a big Emmy for that, too.
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: You did. Now, there's another aspect to this. As Marsha Blackburn, U.S.
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: Senator in Tennessee running for governor, says, give her the
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: electric chair. I didn't know this. Pike initially rejected the
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: electric chair because she's now a Buddhist.
- 1:18:49Speaker 3: Okay.
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: This story has so many layers.
- 1:18:53Speaker 2: It's so bizarre. Did she, for some reason, and maybe
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: this is not right because I'm not looking this up.
- 1:19:00Speaker 2: I'm remembering this. Did she want to be shot? Did
- 1:19:03Speaker 2: she want to be executed by firing squad?
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: No, hung. Oh, hung. That's what it was. Okay. You
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: get a choice, you see, in Tennessee.
- 1:19:11Speaker 5: Can I ask a ridiculous question? Why, being a Buddhist,
- 1:19:15Speaker 5: would the electric chair be, like, being hung is better
- 1:19:20Speaker 5: than electric chair?
- 1:19:21Speaker 4: I wonder why.
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: Maybe you'll have a chance to ask a defense attorney.
- 1:19:28Speaker 4: I got to know.
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: Probably something about your soul or your second life or
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: something like that.
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: Maybe, maybe. Okay. This whole story is a movie waiting
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: to be made. Oh, absolutely.
- 1:19:38Speaker 2: Let's quickly talk about the other execution. President Donald Trump
- 1:19:42Speaker 2: has approved the execution of Fort Hood mass shooter Nidal Hassan. Now,
- 1:19:47Speaker 2: here you go. So I just said to you why
- 1:19:49Speaker 2: I would be against the death penalty. And then you
- 1:19:52Speaker 2: hear a case like Nidal Hassan where you're like, well,
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: he should die. He's going to die by firing squad.
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: It's going to be the first military execution since 1961.
- 1:20:05Speaker 2: But this guy absolutely deserves it. In November of 2009,
- 1:20:10Speaker 2: you'll remember, he killed 13 unarmed soldier at Fort Hood
- 1:20:16Speaker 2: in Texas and injured 23 others. And so he just
- 1:20:21Speaker 2: went on a rampage. And so, yeah, he deserves to die.
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: Yeah, and he was an Army major, a shrink, a psychiatrist,
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: dealing with men at Fort Hood, the largest Army base
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: in the country, who may have been suffering from post-traumatic stress,
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: you know, coming back from being overseas in war. This
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: guy was pro-Taliban the whole way, and they never vetted
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: that out from this guy.
- 1:20:47Speaker 2: That's amazing. The whole story was amazing at the time.
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: So are you a good parallel parker?
- 1:20:53Speaker 2: Because there's some people that cannot do it.
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: No, four times I took the test. I failed on
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: parallel parking, but wouldn't bribe the guy who gave me
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: the test. So that's a big no, is what you're saying.
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: Do you parallel park well, Natalie?
- 1:21:07Speaker 4: I'm decent. Decent.
- 1:21:09Speaker 2: Because we have maybe the best parallel parker in the world.
- 1:21:14Speaker 2: He's coming up next. He just won a big award
- 1:21:16Speaker 2: for it. Plus a chance to see a Bronx Tale.
- 1:21:20Speaker 2: the one-man show starring Chaz Palminteri. That's all coming up next. Well,
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: there's a lot of people that pride themselves in their
- 1:21:28Speaker 2: parallel parking because I think it is a gift. If
- 1:21:32Speaker 2: you can do it well, you know you can do
- 1:21:35Speaker 2: it well, and you're not scared by any spot. You
- 1:21:40Speaker 2: don't even drive, but when you did drive, that's right,
- 1:21:44Speaker 2: parallel parking.
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: I'll tell you a little story. The testing in Canarsie
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: was given right by the last stop of the LL train.
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: It was called LL at Rockaway Parkway, Lousy Line, in
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: the parking lot. So the inspector was there. You came.
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: You had to have your written test. Did you pass
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: your written test? Okay, now you take the driver's test,
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: and if you pass that, boom, you're going to get
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: your license. I took it four times. parallel parking, I
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: failed four times. My cousin Joey very astutely said, the
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: instructor who's going to make the decision doesn't like you
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: because you have long hair. He thinks you're hippie scum.
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: But if you put $ 20 right on the armrest, he'll
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: take the bribe every time and pass you. I refused
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: four times. I failed. I've never had a license because
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: of that. Wow.
- 1:22:34Speaker 2: You, can you parallel park pretty well, Natalie?
- 1:22:36Speaker 5: I'm decent at it, yeah.
- 1:22:37Speaker 6: Are you?
- 1:22:38Speaker 4: Yeah, because you know what? I had to do it
- 1:22:40Speaker 4: so much.
- 1:22:41Speaker 2: I don't want to sound like the rain man here,
- 1:22:44Speaker 2: but I'm an excellent parallel parker.
- 1:22:46Speaker 5: Oh, well, that's good because I do hit the curb
- 1:22:48Speaker 5: a bunch of times. I get it.
- 1:22:50Speaker 2: I can make it into any spot on one shot,
- 1:22:52Speaker 2: but I may not be better than Mario Zucca. In Philadelphia,
- 1:22:58Speaker 2: they had a parallel parking contest. And 300 people wanted
- 1:23:03Speaker 2: to be a part of it. And they tested them
- 1:23:06Speaker 2: and they picked finalists. And so 15 people showed up
- 1:23:11Speaker 2: yesterday to see who would be the best parallel parker.
- 1:23:15Speaker 2: And they had three competitions. Can you do it on
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: one shot? That was first. Then they had a second competition.
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: Can you do it? when it's a tight squeeze.
- 1:23:27Speaker 13: Right.
- 1:23:27Speaker 4: When you only have like an inch, you're like, I
- 1:23:29Speaker 4: think I can fit in there.
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 1:23:31Speaker 2: Exactly. And then the third one was, can you do
- 1:23:35Speaker 2: it during duress or distractions? And for that, as you
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: were trying to park, they would send by, well, first
- 1:23:42Speaker 2: they'd have pothole construction right in back of it that
- 1:23:45Speaker 2: you could possibly hit. Then they had mummers walk by
- 1:23:49Speaker 2: and start playing their banjos. And then they, They had
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: a partially clothed person on a scooter ride by close
- 1:23:56Speaker 2: to your window to see if that would distract you.
- 1:24:00Speaker 2: And the winner, and now the first time ever, a
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: champion is Mario Zucca, who's now called One-Shot Mar. And
- 1:24:11Speaker 2: here's his technique.
- 1:24:13Speaker 24: It's all about visualizing. It's all about spatial awareness, which
- 1:24:19Speaker 24: as an artist, I think I have pretty good spatial awareness.
- 1:24:21Speaker 24: And you got to get that first angle in just right.
- 1:24:24Speaker 24: And then from there, it's all about timing.
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: Wow.
- 1:24:27Speaker 2: He takes it pretty seriously.
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: He's an artist and an illustrator and the timing he
- 1:24:31Speaker 2: says is a big deal.
- 1:24:32Speaker 24: You got to cut it back just the right time.
- 1:24:36Speaker 24: Cause if you cut too late, you're going to hit
- 1:24:37Speaker 24: curb cut too early. You're probably going to hit the
- 1:24:40Speaker 24: person in front.
- 1:24:41Speaker 2: And listen to this. He had a challenge for New York.
- 1:24:45Speaker 2: I think New York needs to have their own championship.
- 1:24:47Speaker 24: And then, um, You know, if you let some Philly
- 1:24:50Speaker 24: people come up, maybe we'll put your money where your
- 1:24:52Speaker 24: mouth is.
- 1:24:53Speaker 4: You know, I think there would be some takers.
- 1:24:55Speaker 5: I'm actually was trying to think of what our distractions
- 1:24:57Speaker 5: would be, because, of course, we wouldn't have the mummers.
- 1:24:59Speaker 21: Right.
- 1:24:59Speaker 4: You know that nobody knows what that is around here.
- 1:25:01Speaker 1: Carjacker.
- 1:25:02Speaker 20: Exactly.
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: You know, put a mask on, put the nine millimeter
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: in the window.
- 1:25:08Speaker 5: I was thinking a pedicab blaring, you know, you know,
- 1:25:11Speaker 5: New York, New York or something as you're going by that,
- 1:25:13Speaker 5: you know, we've got to come up with some stuff.
- 1:25:15Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: Larry, why don't we reach out to them? I'm sure
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: we can get a bunch of really good parallel parkers
- 1:25:22Speaker 1: here and let the contest take place. You know, this
- 1:25:26Speaker 1: time somewhere in New York, the Philly contingent could come up.
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: I would say Brooklyn would probably be the best place
- 1:25:32Speaker 1: to do it because people are constantly having to double
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: park there and run into the bakery, get their cannolis. Yeah,
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: why don't we do that?
- 1:25:41Speaker 2: I think you should have to eat while you're parallel parking.
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: Oh, or put mascara on and not stab yourself in
- 1:25:49Speaker 1: the iris.
- 1:25:51Speaker 2: Let's get some talkbacks. That's a great idea.
- 1:25:53Speaker 20: Yeah, I'm a diehard Yankee fan, have been for more
- 1:25:56Speaker 20: than 70 years.
- 1:25:58Speaker 10: But I don't hate the Mets.
- 1:25:59Speaker 3: I never understood that mentality.
- 1:26:01Speaker 20: Why, if you like one team, the Yankees, for example,
- 1:26:04Speaker 20: you have to hate the Mets.
- 1:26:06Speaker 2: I hope the Mets do well.
- 1:26:07Speaker 3: If the Mets go into the World Series and they're
- 1:26:10Speaker 3: not playing the Yankees, I'm rooting for the Mets.
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: I just never understood that line of thinking.
- 1:26:15Speaker 1: Curtis?
- 1:26:15Speaker 2: You're soft.
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: 86, Red Sox, Mets, World Series. I was Switzerland because
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: I hated them both equally. Fred.
- 1:26:25Speaker 2: Fred the Barn Owl.
- 1:26:27Speaker 1: That's a great name.
- 1:26:29Speaker 4: Fred, Fred the owl.
- 1:26:30Speaker 2: Fred the barn owl.
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: All right. That's the new owl in town to replace Flaco.
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: It's a barn owl, right? But what if it's a woman? Yeah,
- 1:26:38Speaker 1: that's the problem. We're going to need somebody with a
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: telescope to be able to figure that out.
- 1:26:45Speaker 25: I don't know if you heard the last news. There's
- 1:26:48Speaker 25: a warehouse in China, the Timu warehouse that burned down.
- 1:26:55Speaker 5: Total loss.
- 1:26:56Speaker 8: $ 23. 41.
- 1:26:58Speaker 25: That was funny.
- 1:26:59Speaker 2: That's got to be talked back in the morning, right?
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: I don't get a vote, but if I voted. Now,
- 1:27:10Speaker 1: let's give away some tickets.
- 1:27:12Speaker 2: I might not have any money.
- 1:27:13Speaker 5: I might not have a Cadillac, but I don't have
- 1:27:15Speaker 5: to look over my shoulder, and I'm proud of what
- 1:27:16Speaker 5: I do, and I don't answer to anybody.
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: My mother and father came to this country with nothing.
- 1:27:21Speaker 18: Don't you dare disrespect your grandparents.
- 1:27:24Speaker 1: Do you hear me?
- 1:27:25Speaker 2: And you're wrong.
- 1:27:26Speaker 18: They tried to give me a better life, and that's
- 1:27:28Speaker 18: what I'm trying to do.
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: What better life? We don't even own a car.
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: We ain't got money.
- 1:27:31Speaker 8: We ain't got nothing.

- 1:28:09Speaker 13: pretty chilly right now. High 67 degrees today. Students at
- 1:28:13Speaker 13: Cornell University are expected to skip class today to protest
- 1:28:16Speaker 13: the school's handling of an alleged gang rape on campus
- 1:28:19Speaker 13: at a fraternity house. There were also some new details
- 1:28:21Speaker 13: about what allegedly happened when the accuser, known as Jane Doe,
- 1:28:25Speaker 13: first came forward.
- 1:28:26Speaker 9: Jane Doe testified before a Cornell panel. According to a
- 1:28:29Speaker 9: transcript of that testimony obtained by ABC News, Jane Doe
- 1:28:32Speaker 9: was unequivocal. I was prostituted and I was held up
- 1:28:36Speaker 9: like bait for a gaggle of men. She said I
- 1:28:38Speaker 9: remember a dark room. with shadows of men in and
- 1:28:41Speaker 9: out constantly and i remember feeling like there was a
- 1:28:44Speaker 9: joke and i was not in on it She ended
- 1:28:46Speaker 9: her testimony with a plea to her school. Please make
- 1:28:49Speaker 9: it safer for those I love and the community at large.
- 1:28:52Speaker 9: Remove those boys from campus.
- 1:28:54Speaker 13: ABC's Erin Katursky. A pair of suspects wanted for stabbing
- 1:28:57Speaker 13: an off-duty NYPD officer have been arrested in Massachusetts. The
- 1:29:01Speaker 13: Department of Homeland Security says D'Angelo Carabello and Snyder Meha
- 1:29:06Speaker 13: are from the Dominican Republic. They were both caught entering
- 1:29:09Speaker 13: the country illegally before they were released by the Biden administration.
- 1:29:13Speaker 13: That's according to DHS. Today marks three years since a
- 1:29:17Speaker 13: deadly Hamas attack on Israel, and now some city council members...
- 1:29:21Speaker 13: won a permanent memorial to honor the victims.
- 1:29:23Speaker 20: The proposed memorial would be placed in the Mickey Carey
- 1:29:26Speaker 20: Garden in Gravesend, Brooklyn. Meanwhile, there are vigils in New
- 1:29:29Speaker 20: York City planned to remember the victims of the Hamas
- 1:29:32Speaker 20: attack on Israel, as well as protests scheduled against Israel's
- 1:29:35Speaker 20: actions in Gaza. Mayor Zoram Mamdani is expected to attend
- 1:29:39Speaker 20: a vigil this evening, and he also is meeting with
- 1:29:41Speaker 20: Palestinian New Yorkers. The mayor has condemned the October 7th attack,
- 1:29:45Speaker 20: but has also sharply criticized Israel's response. I'm Scott Pringle,
- 1:29:49Speaker 20: WOR News.
- 1:29:50Speaker 13: A new bill would block the Navy from stripping the
- 1:29:52Speaker 13: name of a black World War II hero from an
- 1:29:55Speaker 13: aircraft carrier now under construction and renaming it for President Trump.
- 1:29:59Speaker 13: The carrier is set to be named after Doris Miller,
- 1:30:02Speaker 13: who manned an anti-aircraft gun and destroyed an enemy plane
- 1:30:05Speaker 13: during the attack of 1941. Rangers beat the Islanders. Devils lose.

- 1:30:14Speaker 1: Congratulations to Janet Bagger from Mineola, New York, who just
- 1:30:18Speaker 1: won a pair of tickets to see A Bronx Tale,
- 1:30:21Speaker 1: the one-man show starring Chaz Palminteri, Sunday, November 29th at
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: the Paramount in Huntington, Long Island. Tickets on sale now
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: at Ticketmaster.com. Another chance to win tomorrow at 825. Up next,
- 1:30:33Speaker 1: you've seen the protests spread all across France, growing from
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: school demonstrations... Both I and Larry will comment on that.
- 1:30:41Speaker 1: As we look at all the video coming over from France,
- 1:30:45Speaker 1: initial demonstrations in Paris, mostly that began outside of schools,
- 1:30:51Speaker 1: by many hundreds of demonstrators have spread to now about
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: 40 municipal locations. So from initially being just youth, we
- 1:31:02Speaker 1: now see their union members, parents, teachers, mass demonstrations. You
- 1:31:07Speaker 1: haven't heard anything from Macron. who obviously was a very
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: strong president, but he's a lame duck. Everybody knows it's
- 1:31:14Speaker 1: next year's presidential elections they're waiting for, and Macron has
- 1:31:18Speaker 1: done nothing and really can't do anything because the initial
- 1:31:23Speaker 1: demonstrations were about you froze the budget, no expenditures in
- 1:31:28Speaker 1: the public school system, everybody in private schools doing well,
- 1:31:33Speaker 1: and so now it's gotten completely out of hand. Police
- 1:31:37Speaker 1: departments in both the provinces and in the cities have
- 1:31:41Speaker 1: come in with the tear gas, probably eventually have rubber bullets.
- 1:31:46Speaker 1: But the country is in chaos. And what I could tell,
- 1:31:49Speaker 1: having been in France, is this is a tremendous opportunity
- 1:31:53Speaker 1: for the far right wing, Le Pen. Because now people
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: are looking at that. They see a lot of different
- 1:31:59Speaker 1: people in these demonstrations. They see new Muslims. They see
- 1:32:04Speaker 1: new minorities. But they see a lot of leftists. anarchists
- 1:32:08Speaker 1: and the same old characters so this is just pumping
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: them up because if they win the presidency there'll be
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: a crackdown they'll want to deport people they want to
- 1:32:18Speaker 1: cut funding they want to cap borrowing and obviously the
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: left-wing the progressives do exactly what they do here spend
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: more money that they don't even have so there's total
- 1:32:29Speaker 1: chaos and again you look to the national leader Macron
- 1:32:32Speaker 1: who's a powerful figure internationally but completely neutered and prostate
- 1:32:39Speaker 1: in terms of dealing with these outbreaks, Larry.
- 1:32:42Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. And Donald Trump said something the other day
- 1:32:47Speaker 2: about this and blamed immigration. And listen, to a point
- 1:32:53Speaker 2: he's right, to a point he's not right. I mean,
- 1:32:56Speaker 2: these aren't the immigrants that are protesting. These aren't the
- 1:32:59Speaker 2: immigrants that are now trying to burn down cities and
- 1:33:03Speaker 2: getting violent with the police. Some are, but not all
- 1:33:06Speaker 2: of them. But the problem has been caused or exacerbated
- 1:33:12Speaker 2: by uncontrollable migration. Now, he said that they were Muslims,
- 1:33:17Speaker 2: and we don't know that, but most of them are Arabs.
- 1:33:22Speaker 2: And so you'll hear in interviews with the people protesting,
- 1:33:25Speaker 2: they'll say, you know, the school class used to be 15.
- 1:33:29Speaker 2: Now it's 45. And there's no way you can teach
- 1:33:32Speaker 2: these kids with that many in the classroom. It's chaos.
- 1:33:36Speaker 2: And the schools and all of the services throughout France
- 1:33:43Speaker 2: have been taxed beyond their ability to cover everybody. So
- 1:33:47Speaker 2: what does that sound like? I mean, we're a richer country,
- 1:33:50Speaker 2: but look at New York City. I mean, look at
- 1:33:53Speaker 2: the billions that were spent on immigrants coming here under Biden.
- 1:33:59Speaker 2: That's happening across the country. So yes, the president went
- 1:34:03Speaker 2: too far in his comment, but he is right on
- 1:34:07Speaker 2: the core issue. The core issue is unbridled migration into
- 1:34:13Speaker 2: all the European countries, But France has had a particular problem,
- 1:34:17Speaker 2: and all of their social services and their schools are
- 1:34:21Speaker 2: being taxed, and people have had enough.
- 1:34:23Speaker 1: Well, you know, when I was there, I asked a
- 1:34:25Speaker 1: lot of the immigrants, where are you from, North Africa?
- 1:34:29Speaker 1: Because France had a lot of colonies. There was a
- 1:34:32Speaker 1: time Europe carved up all of Africa. There wasn't like
- 1:34:34Speaker 1: an independent and autonomous country. They were all colonies, and
- 1:34:38Speaker 1: France had a lot. Senegal, French Guiana, Ivory Coast, Morocco, Tunisia,
- 1:34:43Speaker 1: and Algeria. You were given a French passport. So you
- 1:34:48Speaker 1: had the opportunity to come to France. And many of
- 1:34:51Speaker 1: them took that opportunity. I sure would have. And so
- 1:34:54Speaker 1: now you're dealing with second, third generation. Some of them
- 1:34:57Speaker 1: are Muslims. They, you know, they're Orthodox Muslims. They practice.
- 1:35:02Speaker 1: The big battle originally was the hijab. The French, a
- 1:35:06Speaker 1: secular society, did not want women wearing hijabs. So I
- 1:35:10Speaker 1: think what they did is they said, okay, no hijabs
- 1:35:13Speaker 1: in elementary school or junior high school, but hijabs you
- 1:35:17Speaker 1: can wear, you know, the veils in high school and beyond.
- 1:35:19Speaker 1: So there's been this give and take prayers, you know,
- 1:35:22Speaker 1: five times a day in the streets of some of
- 1:35:25Speaker 1: the larger areas when you call to prayer. But This
- 1:35:29Speaker 1: one has all to do with the upcoming national election.
- 1:35:33Speaker 1: Both sides are geared up. And notice, we're so used
- 1:35:36Speaker 1: to seeing Macron get involved in everything. Ukraine, Russia, every
- 1:35:41Speaker 1: international incident, our war with Iran, right? There's Macron. Notice,
- 1:35:45Speaker 1: you haven't seen Macron. Because he's powerless. He is a
- 1:35:48Speaker 1: lame duck. And they're waiting for the next presidential election.
- 1:35:52Speaker 1: So you see Le Pen, they have their marches. The
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: left wing, they have their marches. But really, they are
- 1:35:58Speaker 1: spending money they don't have. We're pretty much in the
- 1:36:01Speaker 1: same mode. We just print money, both sides.
- 1:36:04Speaker 2: But the people on those streets, they're not doing this
- 1:36:06Speaker 2: for politics.
- 1:36:06Speaker 1: No.
- 1:36:07Speaker 2: They are extremely upset. And to Donald Trump's point, in 1990,
- 1:36:14Speaker 2: the population of France was 0.5% Muslim. It's now 10%.
- 1:36:17Speaker 2: So that's, what is that, 10,000% that it's gone up?
- 1:36:25Speaker 2: So he does have a point, and it's just because
- 1:36:29Speaker 2: all of the people, they have unlimited migration in that country,
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: as they do in many of the European countries, and
- 1:36:35Speaker 2: it's become an enormous problem. It's taxing the system far
- 1:36:40Speaker 2: too much. So I understand why Macron's not saying anything,
- 1:36:43Speaker 2: because what can he say?
- 1:36:44Speaker 1: Well— He's partly responsible for this, but just think of
- 1:36:48Speaker 1: the history. Unlike ourselves, we were a colony that broke loose.
- 1:36:51Speaker 1: France had colonies. Remember, they had the Paris Commune. To
- 1:36:55Speaker 1: the barricades, remember? Oh, I remember 68. They almost toppled
- 1:37:00Speaker 1: the government, the students. So they have a long history
- 1:37:03Speaker 1: of this. They almost have like a revolutionary fervor around this.
- 1:37:07Speaker 1: We look at it and say... Boy, that's like George
- 1:37:09Speaker 1: Floyd for us in 2020 when it was just total
- 1:37:12Speaker 1: chaos and mayhem and looting and people coming together and
- 1:37:16Speaker 1: taking advantage of the situation.
- 1:37:17Speaker 2: They are ticked, but they're ticked at the immigration. When
- 1:37:21Speaker 2: you hear them talk about it, they're ticked at the immigration.
- 1:37:24Speaker 2: It's because of it taxing the schools and it taxing
- 1:37:28Speaker 2: the government. There's just too much. We have the same
- 1:37:30Speaker 2: problem in this country. Too much money is being paid
- 1:37:34Speaker 2: for something that never should have happened.
- 1:37:35Speaker 1: Come on, admit it. When you were with your own
- 1:37:37Speaker 1: Hamburg here at WOR, Natalie, Les Mis, how many times
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: did you go see that show, The Matinees? Oh, my God.
- 1:37:45Speaker 18: Les Mis!
- 1:37:46Speaker 1: To the barricades!
- 1:37:47Speaker 4: It is one of my favorite shows.
- 1:37:48Speaker 1: See, I knew it. I knew it. You would have
- 1:37:51Speaker 1: taken to the streets if you were in Paris, Natalie. Anyway,
- 1:37:55Speaker 1: and dis any Americans along the way. By the way,
- 1:37:58Speaker 1: up next, it's a horrible day, a tragic day, a
- 1:38:02Speaker 1: solemn occasion, the attack of October 7th. And we're going
- 1:38:07Speaker 1: to sort of point out what may be taking place
- 1:38:10Speaker 1: in our city around this, and it isn't all going
- 1:38:12Speaker 1: to be solemn up next. Third day. Three years ago,
- 1:38:18Speaker 1: and we were all shocked, Hamas had planned an invasion
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: of southern Israel. They were able to break through the fence.
- 1:38:27Speaker 1: None of the centurions were on guard. Even the automated
- 1:38:31Speaker 1: guns were not working. It was a high religious holiday.
- 1:38:35Speaker 1: Hang gliders took them over the fence. It separated the
- 1:38:38Speaker 1: Gaza from southern Israel. And then they just streamed through.
- 1:38:42Speaker 1: They went into the villages where many of the Israelis
- 1:38:46Speaker 1: and workers lived. some of them from the Philippines, some
- 1:38:49Speaker 1: of them Americans. And they just slaughtered. They raped, they killed,
- 1:38:53Speaker 1: and then they took hostages back into the Gaza.
- 1:38:56Speaker 2: They killed infants in front of their parents.
- 1:38:59Speaker 1: It was total slaughter, total man. So today you would
- 1:39:03Speaker 1: think we would honor this solemn occasion just by remembering
- 1:39:07Speaker 1: what had taken place. Take the politics out of it.
- 1:39:10Speaker 1: These were people, innocents who were slaughtered. But I have
- 1:39:14Speaker 1: a feeling tomorrow when we return, we will find out, Larry,
- 1:39:18Speaker 1: that there were many people who exploited this issue, who
- 1:39:22Speaker 1: will try to settle political scores on a day where
- 1:39:25Speaker 1: everybody should come together and agree. Oh, this is horrible.
- 1:39:28Speaker 1: You may disagree. OK, you didn't treat, you know, the
- 1:39:32Speaker 1: Palestinians well in Gaza. This doesn't merit slaughtering people. especially
- 1:39:38Speaker 1: by the duly elected government Hamas that took all responsibility
- 1:39:42Speaker 1: for it. It's not like they said it wasn't us.
- 1:39:44Speaker 1: And then also the other question I've always asked is,
- 1:39:48Speaker 1: Bibi was asleep at the wheel the way our presidents,
- 1:39:51Speaker 1: first Clinton and then Bush 43, were asleep at the
- 1:39:54Speaker 1: wheel for the attack of 9-11. Everybody in response to
- 1:39:59Speaker 1: that in the government resigned, except for Bibi because he
- 1:40:02Speaker 1: became the wartime prime minister. I get that. But I
- 1:40:05Speaker 1: have a feeling– It's not just going to be solemn occasions.
- 1:40:09Speaker 2: I think you're right too, but I don't want to
- 1:40:10Speaker 2: give any oxygen at all to those that would soil
- 1:40:14Speaker 2: this remembrance, this third year remembrance even more. And I
- 1:40:19Speaker 2: just want to say to the Jewish community and anyone
- 1:40:22Speaker 2: who is going to go out that I feel for
- 1:40:25Speaker 2: you on this day. It is a solemn day and
- 1:40:28Speaker 2: I curse anyone that tries to soil that at all.
- 1:40:32Speaker 2: I try to read Some of the remembrances, there's many
- 1:40:36Speaker 2: of them in all five boroughs. But there's too many.
- 1:40:39Speaker 2: There's too many. So I'm sure that in your local community,
- 1:40:44Speaker 2: you know where to go. But if someone shows up,
- 1:40:47Speaker 2: it just shows how despicable they are that they won't
- 1:40:51Speaker 2: give you this day. And just remember that we know that.
- 1:40:54Speaker 1: And we'll be following the politics of it. Because this
- 1:40:58Speaker 1: has become a huge issue nationally. Our support of Israel,
- 1:41:02Speaker 1: especially in the aftermath of the attack by Hamas in
- 1:41:07Speaker 1: southern Israel and the slaughter and the hostage taking.
- 1:41:09Speaker 2: That's different than October 7th. I understand it's because of that.
- 1:41:14Speaker 2: But why don't we just give the day? You know,
- 1:41:16Speaker 2: the day tomorrow.
- 1:41:17Speaker 1: But remember, the candidates will be asked questions about, well,
- 1:41:21Speaker 1: what are your feelings on this day? And let's hope
- 1:41:24Speaker 1: they all stay very reserved.
- 1:41:26Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:41:26Speaker 1: Nobody bumps out of queue to try to score points with. quote,
- 1:41:31Speaker 1: the constituency. But you know that's not going to happen.
- 1:41:34Speaker 2: Yeah, but judge them by that. You should judge them.
- 1:41:37Speaker 2: If they take this day to make any type of
- 1:41:41Speaker 2: Israeli statement, anybody running for office, they should lose. They
- 1:41:45Speaker 2: should lose because of that. And not because you may
- 1:41:49Speaker 2: agree or disagree with them, because it's simply inappropriate on
- 1:41:53Speaker 2: this one day. Let people grieve. Let people remember for
- 1:41:59Speaker 2: one day. You can get back to politics the very
- 1:42:01Speaker 2: next day. But if anybody does that, you have every
- 1:42:05Speaker 2: right to judge them on that because they should be
- 1:42:07Speaker 2: judged and they should be condemned.
- 1:42:09Speaker 1: And in Israel, because they are facing a parliamentary election
- 1:42:12Speaker 1: at the end of October before our midterms, this has
- 1:42:16Speaker 1: perked up the opposition to say, Bibi, what did you know?
- 1:42:19Speaker 1: When did you know it? Or why were you asleep
- 1:42:22Speaker 1: at the wheel? And there have been no answers coming
- 1:42:25Speaker 1: from him. So even though there will be a solemn
- 1:42:27Speaker 1: occasion in Israel, the politics will not stop there. They're
- 1:42:30Speaker 1: too close to their parliamentarians. I know.
- 1:42:32Speaker 2: Just do it the next day. I even counsel them.
- 1:42:35Speaker 2: And they probably will. Just do it the next day.
- 1:42:38Speaker 2: I talked about how I enjoy ordering from Timu this
- 1:42:42Speaker 2: morning and the Talkback of the Morning and winner of
- 1:42:44Speaker 2: the Curtis Lewa and Larry Menti in the Morning t-shirt.
- 1:42:47Speaker 2: And now in the running for the Talkback of the Week...
- 1:42:52Speaker 2: who could win a C-Crane radio, had some news about
- 1:42:57Speaker 2: the warehouse in China.
- 1:42:59Speaker 25: I don't know if you heard the last news. There's
- 1:43:03Speaker 25: a warehouse in China, the Timu warehouse, that burned down.
- 1:43:10Speaker 25: Total loss, $ 23.
- 1:43:11Speaker 21: 41.
- 1:43:12Speaker 1: I still laugh.
- 1:43:17Speaker 2: It's such a great line.
- 1:43:18Speaker 5: I've never ordered, but I'm eyeing this $ 9 sweatshirt that
- 1:43:23Speaker 5: looks so great.
- 1:43:25Speaker 2: That's a professional joke. I know.
- 1:43:27Speaker 4: I know it's a good joke.
- 1:43:28Speaker 2: Would you wear Timu tomorrow? Bring in something from Timu.
- 1:43:31Speaker 4: I don't have anything Timu. I've never ordered from there
- 1:43:34Speaker 4: or Shane.
- 1:43:35Speaker 2: Oh, really?
- 1:43:35Speaker 25: Yeah.
- 1:43:36Speaker 2: I never ordered clothes. I always get caught up in
- 1:43:39Speaker 2: like something you're supposed to put together and then it's
- 1:43:41Speaker 2: balsam wood. You missed a part of the show today?
