  Speaker 1: Wow did you hear that weather forecast larry and natalie
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: you're and welcome back natalie uh you were away yesterday
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: we had to deal with the quiet storm man boy
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: was he quiet.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Oh he talked more than he ever talked before i
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: thought which isn't a lot but still he talked a lot.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah we got a few words out of him yeah
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: but it's great to have you back.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Natalie thank you thank you.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: So bundle up You just heard Ray Stajic, 30 degrees
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: on Sunday. Now, this will be a dramatic decrease. And
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: you know what happens, Larry, every time there's a dramatic
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: decrease of about 40 degrees, people get sick. Because for
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of people, it's too much for the body
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: to absorb all in one blow. So get ready, bundle up,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: 30 degrees. See, this is why you live in the Northeast.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: You get the weather changes, the seasonal changes, the leaves change.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: You can't get that if you go to Florida.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: You're right, but that's exactly the same reason some people
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: don't want to live here. Exactly the same reason. Believe me,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I've been all over the country. I know in San Diego,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: they don't want to be here.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Exactly. It's the same every day. Florida is somewhat the same,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: except when the hurricane season hits, then you have to
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: hunker down from time to time. But this is the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: time that I love because it makes our area so
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: different than some other areas of the country. Except not
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: a dramatic 40-degree change on one day. Sunday, 30 degrees.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: But you're right. The change in temperature does cause a
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: lot of sicknesses. I mean, when wintertime comes, people get sick.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: When fall comes, when the beginning of summer, the flu
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: takes over, I mean... It is odd how the weather
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: has such an effect on our well-being.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Well, I want to be a double mensch to everybody
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: out there. I'll be more than happy to hold your
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: hands if you get a flu shot, whether you're Republican, Democrat, Independent,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: as long as you don't have sweaty hands.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: That's so nice because I read you all wrong. I
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: thought you only held hands with some special people.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, you mean like Zorhan Mondavi? But I must extend this.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: To many listeners out there, I will come and hold
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: your hand while you get the flu shot.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Wait a second. Please, please, we need a whole lot
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: of people. I want him every single day showing up
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: somewhere to hold somebody's hand as they get a flu shot. So,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: and the talkbacks, go ahead and leave a talkback, say
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: you want it, and Natalie will get all your information,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: and then we are going to say, he has to
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: do this, he's made a promise, he has to go, and,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: oh my God, if you're out of state, if you're
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: out of state, please, please, Ask him to hold your
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: hand so that he has to travel to hold your hand.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Am I not a politician? Haven't I learned to do
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a pivot and shift?
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Go ahead. But to really stick it to me, dress
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: up in full MAGA gear. You know, MAGA gear with
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Trump is the greatest of all time, the G-O-A-T.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, just for that picture. Him holding your hand in
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: full MAGA gear. Please, I know you can respond to this.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Let's make this happen.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Particularly for men, there will be no insinuations about your sexuality.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: It'll simply be one man to another man getting you
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: through the process.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, between you and me, once you're holding hands, you
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: can do anything you want. So you can talk about
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: your sexuality once he's holding your hand.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Okay, now we're getting a little ridiculous.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: He just wants somebody to get their flu shot.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: No sweaty hands. No sweaty hands.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Again, once he's holding your hand, you can do anything
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: you want. You can grease it up and then.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Get it in there. No Vaseline, please. Now, big day today.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Natalie has worked very hard on a story that we brought.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Very hard.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I think maybe it is pretty funny when Natalie has
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: a confused look when you said she worked very hard.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: What she did on this one, because remember, we've elevated
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: a story that nobody in talk radio anywhere ever talks
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: about the theft of mail out of mailboxes, which, as
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you can see, Natalie, from the flow of our listeners
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: who have responded, including our own program director, Tom Cuddy,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: who was a victim of this and others. we see
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: it's systemic throughout the tri-state area and beyond where people
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: are victims unknowingly. When these guys come up on motorbikes,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: they grease up their belt with stickum, stickum, which you
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: would use to catch rats and mice, and they put
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: it in the box and then they go what they
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: call fishing and they steal all the mail. Then they
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: go to some other place and looking for checks that
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: they can be bleached, not by them, but by others.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: gift cards, anything of value. Any other mail, they toss.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: They just throw it away, and then they come back
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: and do it. And so boldly and brazenly, there are
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: photos of them, there's film of them. And I brought
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to everybody's attention my personal vigilante battle against these two
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: guys who are covered from head to toe and are
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: motorbikes working the Upper West Side. One particular mailbox on
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the corner of 73rd and Broadway in front of Chase.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: You remember my posting, Larry and Natalie? I described how
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I had actually bum-rushed one of them, grabbed some of
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the mail they stole, including the woman that you reached
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: out to who had sent such.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: A beautiful card.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: To her son, wishing him the best of luck at
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the University of Chicago. And you know what the response
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: of the U.S. Postal Service, which is the federal agency
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: with federal cops, and if you get arrested stealing mail,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: you go before federal police. It's not a local crime.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: And the NYPD's response was they took the mailbox away.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: There's no mailbox there.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: Problem over.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: No mailbox.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: That solves the problem.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: For a second in that one area, but not really.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: But they're hitting all the mailboxes. And the reason it's
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: so important now is that even the president has said, yep,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: if you have to vote by mail, vote by mail.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: And we know there are a lot of people our
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: age and older, we're baby boomers, who vote by mail
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: for a number of reasons. They can't get to the
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: polling location. The ballot comes to them because they've asked
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: for it. Who can't get to the polling location? Seriously,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: who can't get? It's usually right down the street from you.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: They put them everywhere. So, I mean, I hate that excuse.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I've heard that before, but I hate that excuse. It's
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: just silly. I'm not against mail-in ballots, but listen, I
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: never do it. I go and vote in person all
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the time. No, no, and most people do. But there
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: are some people who don't want to wait for the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: day something else may happen, prevents them from going. So, hey,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: here I requested my mail-in ballot. I got it. I'll
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: fill it out. I'll check it. I'll check it. I'll
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: seal it up. And generally walk over to the mailbox,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: mail it, assuming that it gets to where it's going. Now,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: they have a way you could track it to see
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: if it's at the Board of Elections, but most people don't.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: And when these mail bandits are stealing mail, he don't
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: care what the mail is. But if you happen to
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: have put your mail-in ballot in one of these blue
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: mailboxes and it is part of the treasury that they
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: take out of there, it's going to be discarded. It's
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: going to be torn up and thrown away. And that
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: vote will never end. Larry, in some of these local
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: elections where it's like the difference is like 10 votes,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: 20 votes, 30, 40 votes, it could be the differentiation.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I would love to get rid of
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: mail-in ballots unless you have a really good reason for
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: doing it. I think that it's ripe with fraud. I
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: think that it's the easiest way to commit fraud, as
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: we've seen now in Pennsylvania, as we've seen in other states.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: And now you have in California where there's 20,000 ballots
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: that the Trump administration says, hey, they didn't say these
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: are bad. They said, hey, these are suspicious. Take a
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: look at these. And they fought them. Why in hell
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: would you fight anybody on that? Why wouldn't you go, oh,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: thanks for calling that to our attention. We'll take a
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: look at those ballots. Why would you fight that unless, unless.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: You think, oh, maybe they are fraudulent. They're probably voting
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: for us.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of Democratic voters who want ballot
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: authenticity because 80% of the country is in favor of
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: you having to legitimize yourself when you go vote with
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: government ID. 80% is more than Republicans. That includes a
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: lot of Democrats and Independents.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: It's Hispanics. It's Blacks. It's Democrats.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: It's Republicans.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: No, absolutely.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I don't think that Democratic politicians feel the same way
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: that the Democratic voters do, and they're obviously not.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Listening to them. Let me give credit where credit is due.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I'll rewind it. Natalie, our producer.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, we're back to me.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Has worked very hard to get an expert on mail theft.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: It plagues everybody. To be able to come on with us,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Natalie Migliore is away today, so in her normal slot
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: at 754, who will we have telling us what the
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: problems are, and how to deal with them.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's actually a retired postal police officer here in
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: New York and currently the executive director of the Postal
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Police Officers Association. And he has actually testified twice before
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: Congress about mail theft.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: So this is his thing.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: People don't realize it's a huge problem. Local law enforcement
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to deal with it because they don't want
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: to put crimes on the books, especially, Larry, if it's over...
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: One thousand dollars of value in most counties, townships, villages, municipalities.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: It's got to be a thousand dollars or more to
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: be a felony. But it's a federal crime. So you're
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: not going in front of a turn them loose, you know,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: black robed judge. You're going into federal court. They're serious
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: and they have armed police. who come get you. And
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: yet you don't see that anymore. When I was a kid, Larry,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: my father would take me to the local post office
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: on Rockaway Parkway in Canarsie and you would see FBI
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: 10 most wanted. And he'd say, Curtis, if you ever
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: steal mail, don't even try as a prank. Because you
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: steal mail, it's serious. They got federal cops. You be
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: up there, the 10 most wanted. Now, he was embellishing
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: and exaggerating, but to make a point, back then we
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: all knew you don't steal mail.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: I wish it was a federal crime to take Amazon
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: packages because I think that's a much, much bigger problem,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: but that ain't going to happen. Well, just about anybody
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: that was anybody was at the New York political, business,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: and civic leaders gathering at the Waldorf Astoria on Thursday.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: last night for the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: to benefit Catholic charities. And someone who pointed out that
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: all the most important people are there was comedian, great comedian,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: and MC Jim Gaffigan.
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: We have a pretty diverse dais. We have with us
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: the 1%, the. 01 %, and the. 001 %. Sadly,
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: Mayor Bloomberg couldn't make it.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Also there was the new Archbishop in New York, Hicks,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: and also the man that he replaced, Cardinal Dolan.
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: Thanks for inviting this now-retired, unemployed pensioner on Social Security
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: and a fixed income as your speaker this evening.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: I used to be in Who's Who, now I'm Who's He.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: And finally, the person that was honored, the police commissioner,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Jessica Tisch, who pointed out that because so many people
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: in the DSA now want her fired and are pressuring
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: the mayor to fire her, she said she's just lucky
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: to have a job.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Things have gotten a little hot for me this week,
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: just in case anyone hiring.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: She made jokes about that a couple of times.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of.
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: Talk these days that the mayor's friends don't like me.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: That is simply not true. President Trump and I get
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: along great.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: So, again, it's all for Catholic charities. It's wonderful that
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: everybody shows up for that and can make fun of
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: themselves in their own situations.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Hold on. Was the mayor there?
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Did he speak?
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I didn't hear him. I mean, I just go through,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: you know, all of the rundowns.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: He sat on the dais, which means you had to
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: wear tux and tails and I think white gloves.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I didn't see white gloves. I did notice he had
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: a tux on. He was sitting next to Hochul.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I understand. But, you know, that's like millionaires and billionaires.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: It's like 100 people up there, mostly business people. Boy,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: that's not going to be received well by the DSA,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: I can tell you that. That photo op. He didn't
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: go last year when he was running for mayor. And
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: by the way, they never invite me. And you know
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: why they never invite me? Because I would have immediately said, oh,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Catholic Charities.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, all that.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Money that went to the border to bring in the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: illegal aliens went to Catholic Charities. Just ask the big
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Catholic Joe Biden about that. Oh, no, Curtis, you can't
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: say that.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why. So you're confused why they don't invite you?
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: No, and I never liked Dolan. And I really think
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: it's unfair that he hangs around. He's not from here.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: He's originally from St.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Louis.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: He was in charge of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. You know,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: he came to New York. He became the Cardinal. But
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Hicks is going to become the Cardinal. Can't become a
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Cardinal until Dolan goes away.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: It's really not.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Fair to Hicks that really most people don't even know.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Couldn't even identify him in a photo lineup.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I really like Dolan. I think most people do. I
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: think that for what he does, he represents the Catholic
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Church very well. And when I see him go on
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: national shows, he's always excellent. He's funny.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's always great at closing Catholic schools and sending
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: out money.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: That happened around the country. That's not just here.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Spending it on illegal aliens and not to keep Catholic
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: schools open in the inner city. That is a disgrace.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I like Arnold Rowland. I guess you know why I
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: don't get invited to the.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, you've just got to prove why you don't
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: get invited. Now let's get some talkbacks.
• 14:27
  Speaker 8: Curtis, I do business with the Postal Service, and I
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: asked your question to a postal inspector. And the answer
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: I got was that in the New York metro area,
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: the U.S. Attorney's Office is so busy, they won't prosecute
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: these types of crimes. So at the end of the day,
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: they don't catch him because they can't prosecute them.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, they can prosecute them. They just don't want to.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Let's be honest. They just don't want to. And that's
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: what we're going to discuss with our special guest at
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: 754 is Natalie Migliore is away today. He is experienced.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: He's testified in front of Congress about this because this
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: is a problem all over the country.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Here's another one about the mail.
• 15:10
  Speaker 9: Elon Musk is releasing a car that will fly and
• 15:14
  Speaker 9: do flips. Are you telling me the United States Postal
• 15:18
  Speaker 9: Service can't design a mail receptor that is tamper-proof?
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Why the hell would you want a car that could
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: do flips?
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Okay, but I would like to have a mail receptor
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: that could.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Not have mail stolen from it.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: No, that's true. That seems easier than the car that
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: does flips.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: I don't know why you want to do flips in
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: your car.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: That's not a selling point.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: But he had a good point. Like, why can't they
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: just redesign? I mean, I know that's a lot of them,
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: but just redesign the mail boxes.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Well, they did. They did, Natalie. What they did, remember,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: you used to be able to open the box. Yeah.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Because nobody thought mail would be stolen. Now it's a
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: little slit. That you're lucky if you can get one
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: envelope through, but notice the banditos, they know how to
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: get it out.
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: The only reason I don't get this story, and I'm
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: sure it's more of a local thing here. I haven't
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: used a mailbox in more than a decade.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: I actually started thinking about it. I don't even know
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: where the closest mailbox to my house is.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: I doubt very many people use mailboxes anymore.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: If I have to put something in the mail, I
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: actually go to my post office.
• 16:23
  Speaker 9: So do I.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: So do I. And most of the things you can
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: do online now.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: This is the best remedy, particularly for senior citizens because
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: you're probably home when the mail arrives. Give it to
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: the mail carrier. Yes.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: Tin.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Give it to the mail carrier. He or she, they
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: can bring it back to the post office. And sometimes
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: we just leave it in our mailbox. They pick it
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: up and then they put the other mail in and
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: they take it with them.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: You don't do that here. You don't take that too.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: What I'm saying, our little mailbox, it's not a mailbox.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: It's the thing that hangs on the side of the
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: wall that he puts the mail in. We put our
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: mail there and then they just pick it up. Give
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: them a nice tip for Christmas, huh? Nice gratuity. No,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: we try to. He's not allowed to.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, they take them here. Yeah, no, no.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: We try to every single year. You can make them
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: cookies or something like that. They'll take that, but no money.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Trash men will take the money. They'll take the money.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: They come around dressed like Santa with bells, to remind you.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Now let's get to Daria Albinger with the 630 News.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Daria.
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: I have the best mailman. He is the best mailman.
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: I will give him props anytime. Vijay, never.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: This is at our place.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Tin.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Love Tin.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: He's mine.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: My dog's like BJ.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: I'm so embarrassed I don't know my mailman's name now.
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: Well, my mailman carries dog treats with him.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: So, you know, he scores points with me.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: A few showers this morning.
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: Stronger storms possible later today and tonight.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: And a high of 75 degrees.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Why did he do it?
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: Investigators want to know what prompted a 16-year-old to open
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: fire in an elementary school in Bend, Oregon, yesterday.
• 17:58
  Speaker 10: By the time the gunman was stopped, a teacher and
• 18:01
  Speaker 10: three children, ages 5, 8, and 11, were dead. Two
• 18:05
  Speaker 10: other people were critically injured, including a 7-year-old and another teacher.
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: That's ABC's Sophie Flay, a Queens woman who confessed to
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: killing her 5-year-old daughter as a history of mental health issues.
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: A woman's father, Franklin Cabello, tells NBC4 that... His daughter
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: spent a month in a psychiatric unit earlier this year.
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: He says when she was released, she stopped taking her medications.
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: No charges have been filed in the case so far.
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: There are calls for an investigation into a confrontation between
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: the MTAs fare enforcement team and a passenger in Brooklyn.
• 18:34
  Speaker 11: That commuter turned out to be the dean of Mott
• 18:36
  Speaker 11: Bridges Academy. Kyle Taylor says he was riding the B-14
• 18:40
  Speaker 11: to work when he crossed paths with the MTA's Eagle
• 18:43
  Speaker 11: Team fare enforcement unit at his bus stop. They demanded
• 18:46
  Speaker 11: proof that he'd paid his fare. Video released subsequently shows
• 18:49
  Speaker 11: Eagle Team members grabbing and pinning Taylor against the bus stop.
• 18:53
  Speaker 11: MTA Chair Jano Lieber said at a Thursday news conference
• 18:56
  Speaker 11: he'd found the video concerning. He also indicated that several
• 18:59
  Speaker 11: of the Eagle Team inspectors had been suspended pending an investigation.
• 19:03
  Speaker 11: Transit Advocacy Group Passengers United is now urging New York
• 19:06
  Speaker 11: Attorney General Letitia James to launch a probe into the incident.
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: Liz Borner, WOR News. Well, they may not agree on everything,
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: but Mayor Mamdani says he wants Governor Hochul to remain
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: in office, and he's released a TV ad saying that
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: he's going to vote for her, calling the Democrat the
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: real deal for New Yorkers and referring to Republican challenger
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: Bruce Blakeman as.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: A bad apple.
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: As far as KFC is concerned, Coke is it. The
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: chain is ending a decades-long partnership with Pepsi. It's switching
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: to Coca-Cola at more than 3,700 restaurants nationwide starting in January.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Devils beat the Rangers.
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: Islanders fell to Ottawa. Next news, 7 o'clock, bulletins at once.
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Have you noticed in the midterms? Thanks, Daria. Have you
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: noticed in the midterms now all anybody is talking? about
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: are the polls? How much do you believe them and
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: how good have they done over the last, let's just say,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: couple of midterm elections? We'll talk about that and go
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: over the most current polls when we come back. But first,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: I want to talk about LifeVac once again. Every time
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: I look in the news, and you can Google this yourself,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: someone's life is being saved by life vacs somewhere in
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: the country. And in many police departments across the country,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: they are required to have life vac in their patrol cars.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Why they don't do it more around here, I have
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: no idea. Because they absolutely save lives. Over 6,500 worldwide.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: 4,000 of them are children. Think about that for a second.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: That's not just a number. Those are real people, real
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: families who get second chances because of LifeVac. In case
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: you don't know, LifeVac is the first and only FDA-authorized
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: suction anti-choking device to be used for a second-line treatment
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: when recommended choking protocols have been followed without success. That
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: is extremely important. So the government has approved this and says,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: if the Heimlich doesn't work, use LifeVac. Having the right
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: tool nearby can make all the difference in the world.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Learn more about LifeVac today at LifeVac.net. That's LifeVac.net. Visit
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: LifeVac.net and see how you can be ready when it counts. Well,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: it certainly does seem like things are tightening up. And
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: this normally happens with elections. Either it widens or it tightens.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Many times it would widen, especially if something big happened,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: some huge mistake happened in a presidential election, you'd see
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: a widening in the polls. And many times it's just
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: that voters that were undecided are coming home to roost.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: In midterm elections, this happens a lot. Now, you know
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: that there are a handful of states right now, six
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: or seven, depending on who you believe, six or seven
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: that are going to decide the fate of the Senate.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: And the Democrats have to win at least three, four
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: to be safe. So they have a big task in
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: front of them. And with the polls starting to tighten,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: that gets a little icky for them. It's no longer
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: a sure thing they're going to take the Senate. My
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: belief is they're going to take the House. And one
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: of the reasons is going to be Tom Kane Jr.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: over in New Jersey. It looks like at this point
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: he's going to lose. and they only need a couple there.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: They need as many in the House as they do
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: in the Senate, but it's easier to pick up seats
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: in the House because there's so many seats. But I
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: will tell you this, Curtis, as I look at these polls,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: and I know that before you leave your talk back,
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: and you can leave a talk back about anything you want,
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: so I'm not saying don't leave it about this, but
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: I know many of you have complaints with the polls.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: I do too. Polls are not perfect. Polls, first of all,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: were a snapshot in time And every once in a while,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: they get it really wrong because of the way that
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: they did their algorithm. So you're absolutely right. That's why
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: you need to look at a lot of polls, a
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: conflagration of polls. But here's one thing to remember. As
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: it all tightens, as it tightens in Iowa now, the
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Republican is down two points. As it tightens in Maine,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Susan Collins is now ahead by one point. As it
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: tightens in Texas— Telerico, depending on what polls you look at,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: is up one to three points. If it stays in
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: that margin, Republicans always, always are undercounted in national polls, especially.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: So keep that in mind. And I want you to
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: hear Harry Anton, who is a guy that I really
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: respect because he plays it down the middle on CNN,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: talking about exactly what that would mean. If the polls
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: stay tight, if it's very tight going into the election
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: in many of these states, what it would mean if
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: they once again were undercounting Republicans by two to four percent.
• 24:12
  Speaker 12: In Iowa, where the Democrats have been getting really good polls,
• 24:14
  Speaker 12: Republicans outperformed their September polls by nine points back in 2024.
• 24:17
  Speaker 12: How about Ohio?
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Six points.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: How about Michigan?
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Five points.
• 24:22
  Speaker 12: And I will note that the leads that the Democrats
• 24:24
  Speaker 12: have in all of these races right now are under
• 24:27
  Speaker 12: how much the GOP outperformed back in 2024. So you
• 24:31
  Speaker 12: look at this and you go, you know what? Maybe
• 24:33
  Speaker 12: we should just hold on a second here because we've
• 24:36
  Speaker 12: seen this dance before and it was not a dance
• 24:39
  Speaker 12: that Democrats like when the votes were actually cast in counties.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Now, some of those were extreme, like Iowa undercounting by
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: nine points. That doesn't usually happen. But if you look
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: at any survey, any survey, go anywhere, go to New
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: York Times, go to Real Clear Politics, go anywhere and
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: take a look. It's usually two to four points that
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: they undercount Republicans because Republicans are just harder to get
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: a hold of for polls. Two to four points they undercount.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Now look at the polls in state to state to state.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Those two to four points would give those races to Republicans.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: So if history holds up, if past is prologue, Curtis,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: this isn't going to be a big win for the
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Democrats in those elections. I understand. I have a lot
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: of ifs in there. But there is a ray of hope,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: actually a great deal of hope for Republicans when it
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: comes to the Senate.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, there's no doubt. There's always an undercount. A lot
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: of Republicans just don't. won't respond to a poll. You know,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: they're stubborn. They won't respond. But I am surprised that you,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I call you the Polly Market Kid because you've done
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: like a lot of people do. They look at Polly Market.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: So if we look at the race, Hochul versus Blakeman,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Polly Market has it 95% Hochul, 5% Blakeman. You say,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: that she's going to win. You say, what? Where are
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: you getting your figures from? So there are so many
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: different ways, but now it's all about getting out to vote,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: and most importantly, the independents, who generally break in the
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: last 10 days.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: I'm shocked that more people are looking at Polly Market
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: and looking at Kaoshi. And you know Harry Anton uses
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: it all the time, and I have a huge amount
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: of respect for him. It's because it's just people betting.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: It's you and me. We could get on there and
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: affect it tomorrow.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Could it be that Harry Enten is using Polymarket because
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: they advertise on CNN? It could.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Absolutely be.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Sponsor promotion.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: I've never seen one of the ads, but that could
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: absolutely be.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: No, but there's so many. There's so many. And there
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: are polls.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: I don't look at Polymarket, by the way.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Right. But there are polls. You never, you say, what
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: is this poll? A brand new name. You say, what
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: the hell is this? And so you just get flooded
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: with these polls. Look, you got to get your vote out.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: The benefit, just quickly, for Blakeman, as opposed to Zeldin
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: the last time, is he has an independent line now,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: which is important for a Republican. Zeldin messed up. They
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: had fake signatures, and so their independent line was thrown out.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: You need that as a Republican. That'll get you an
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: additional 2% or 3%, because a lot of people, as
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: you know, Larry, I'll vote for you, but never as
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: a Republican. If they can find you on another line.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: I know. I talked about that poll the other day
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: with you, and I don't have it in front of
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: me now, that showed it was very close now between
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Blakeman and Hochul, and you discounted the poll right away.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: I looked at it, and now I'll have to find
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: it again to go through it. But RealClearPolitics said it's
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: a legit poll. And so they usually show the bias
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: in those polls. And I see they work across the country.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: So I don't know.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Doesn't it feel like it's getting closer?
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: It feels a lot like it's getting closer. Yes, there's
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: no doubt. He's doing better than Zeldin did at this point.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: But up next, oh, I can't get enough of this story.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: It's a novella. It's a soap opera from Newsom to
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump Jr. And now she's out on her tuchus.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Kill foil, kill foil, kill foil. What will she do now?
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Up next.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Paychecks. Oh Larry Nettley I can't get enough of this story.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Kimberly Guilfoyle what a life she has led and she's
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: been high profile for a long long time but she
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: just recently resigned as our U.S. ambassador to Greece as
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: a Wall Street Journal report came out it had a
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: lot of facts a lot of details how It appears
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: she was using that position to develop a side hustle,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: develop money-making opportunities for her, her supporters, and others. That'll
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: eventually play out. She did resign. We don't know where
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: she'll end up, but I can tell you this from
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: having known her just from my many appearances on Fox once.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: She was a fixture, man. She was like on every show,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: the five. She was on short. She was everywhere. She
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: was the legal expert. Because she had originally been in
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: ADA in San Francisco County. That's where she met now
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Governor Newsom. That's when they got married. They were considered
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: the couple of San Francisco people. And then he decided
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: to have an affair with his chief of staff's wife.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: The marriage broke up. She left. She appeared on court TV.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: And then she was hired by Fox. And she was great.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: She was a great contributor. And then all of a
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: sudden she had to leave Fox. in 2018, and she
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: became part of the Trump campaign in 2020, and had
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: a relationship. It was assumed that she would end up
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: marrying Donald Trump Jr., that they were engaged. Because whenever
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: you would see the Trump family out there, she'd be
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: attached to Donald Trump Jr., As you remember, in the
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: recent RNC convention in Milwaukee, he was caught, Donald Trump Jr.,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: playing footsie with this blonde. The whole world saw it.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: And that was it. Their relationship fell apart. She didn't
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: say anything. President very wisely said, Kimberly, I'd like you
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: to become our U.S. ambassador to Greece. She accepted. I
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: think part of that was just to get her away,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: you know, from Florida where that would be lingering. And
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: we didn't hear much about her. And then all of
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: a sudden, she's on the outside looking in. But let's
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: talk about what she did. I mean, you went through
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: all of that and didn't talk about exactly what she
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: did that got her ousted.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: She was leaning on a guy who, by the way,
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: is a little bit sleazy in his own right, Eric Detters,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: who has been suspended from practicing law in state after
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: state after state for $ 100, 000 in exchange for In exchange
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: for access to some very powerful people. And he did.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: He turned it down. And what he did is he
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: turned around because he has political influence and he let
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: the Trump world know this is what she's asking me for.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: That's what led to her leaving. But they have a
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: long relationship, debtors and Guilfoyle. Debtor says that he paid
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Guilfoyle $ 300, 000 over several years to speak at Freedom Fest
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: events in exchange for political access. So he has now
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: been very public with this lawsuit against her. He's filing
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: a lawsuit for $ 100, 000 against her.
• 31:36
  Speaker 13: I will drop this lawsuit if the following happen. One,
• 31:42
  Speaker 13: President Trump orders... and arranges the extradition of Dr. Abubakar
• 31:48
  Speaker 13: Atik Durrani from Pakistan. President Trump brags about deportations and
• 31:54
  Speaker 13: other foreign extractions all the time.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: And he says, this is an extortion because I don't
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: want the money. I will not keep the money. I
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: will give it to people that Dr. Durrani, who is
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: now in exile in Greece, I want to give it
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: to the people that he did spinal surgery on and
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: left them impaired. Apparently, he had all of these clients
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: where he told them they needed this special kind of
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: spinal surgery, and they ended up impaired from it, and
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: they sued him. And what did he do? He left
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: the country. He left the country, and they've been trying
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: to extradite him ever since, and they have not been
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: able to do it. So this guy, Detters, as slimy
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: as he might be, he has some nice motives here.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: He wants to get money to give to those clients.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Look, if you're Kimberly Guilfoyle, and you heard what the
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: president said to her after being questioned, Trump said, she
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: wasn't a member of my family. She, I guess, dated
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: my son a long time ago. Man, she knows where
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: all the bones are buried with the Trump family, Newsom family,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: others at Fox News Channel. And there are a lot
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: of people who are going to want to hear from
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: her if she decides to open up the Pandora's box.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: But I know out of everything being said, she's one
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: of the bones that are buried. She is one of them.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: But just think if the Democrats win the House, who's
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: going to be the star witness possibly for an impeachment?
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Kimberly Guilfoyle.
