Highlights for Curtis and Larry · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

  Speaker 1: Well, we have a hurricane coming, the first hurricane of
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: this season. It's really late. It's been strange that there's
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: been nothing until now. And it's supposed to hit the
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: panhandle possibly as a Cat 3. And if you've noticed,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I haven't said the name of the hurricane yet because
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: apparently nobody can pronounce it. Even the Florida governor who
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: deals with hurricanes all the time, he passed.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Because it's not normal. I don't know how to pronounce
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: this because it's not normal. So, you know, I'm calling
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: it Isaiah. You guys can call it what you want.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I know that's not how you pronounce this. It's something else.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: But it's weird, and I'm just going to keep butchering
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: it for the next 72 hours, and I'd rather just
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: be that.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, he's great.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: But when I first heard it, remember I said it
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: to the both of you, Natalie, and to Larry, I
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: said it sounds like the newest leader of ISIS, Al-Qaeda,
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: or Hamas.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Well, it sort of sounds like ISIS. It's ISIS, I think,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: or ISIS. ISIS.
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: Isaias?
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Isaias.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 1:03
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: What a dumb name. Isaias. Let's see if we have
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Ray Stajic on the line, the meteorologist for WOR and
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the Weather Channel. And have you been pronouncing it right?
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Have you been practicing it all day?
• 1:17
  Speaker 7: My head hurts.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Please tell us how to pronounce it.
• 1:21
  Speaker 7: Really, I mean, it's Isaias.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: Isaias.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Isaias.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Isaias.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Where did that come from? Who chooses these names?
• 1:31
  Speaker 7: I have no clue. You know, we had that discussion
• 1:33
  Speaker 7: this morning. Our hurricane expert, Dr. Rick, I was like,
• 1:37
  Speaker 7: he used to work at the Hurricane Center.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Down in Miami.
• 1:39
  Speaker 7: And I was like, Dr. Nabb, who does this?
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: I said, why can't you just go with one syllable?
• 1:46
  Speaker 7: Like Ray or Rick.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 1:49
  Speaker 7: Or John or Bill. Or just give them numbers. Like,
• 1:52
  Speaker 7: It's Storm 1A. It's Storm 1B.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Since you asked, I have the origin. You want to
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: hear the origin?
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, please.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Spanish and Portuguese form of the biblical Hebrew name Yeshayahu.
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: What?
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: So that ought to clear things up for you, which
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: means Yahoo is salvation.
• 2:10
  Speaker 8: Yahoo.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Yeshiyahu.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Very good. Yeshiyahu. Yeshiyahu is salvation or God saves in Hebrew.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Now, I got to tell you guys, we used to
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: call it, what a yahoo that guy is. That was
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: a term that we would commonly, what a yahoo, you know,
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: what a schlub. What a yambo.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: What did they get these names for?
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: We're coming up with our own names next year because
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: I think yahoo would be a great name for a storm.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: How about Hurricane Yambo?
• 2:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I like that one.
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Isaias.
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: I'm back to Bill, Ray, Nick, John.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Let's go with Mary. Don't leave out those female genders, please.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Come on. I heard you saying all males there.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Come on, Ray.
• 2:53
  Speaker 7: No, I said Mary.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay. Okay.
• 2:56
  Speaker 7: Right away, you want to pounce.
• 3:00
  Speaker 8: You're learned.
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: It only took me a couple of months, but I
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: got you.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: So what can you tell us about Isaias?
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: No, Isaias.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: Hurricane.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: Isaias.
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: Advisory is coming out now every three hours. It's full updates, 5A, 11A, 5P, 11P,
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: and then intermediate advisories where they send updates out. So
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: Hurricane Hunters out there. The last update, 110 mile per hour,
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: Category 2. One mile per hour away from being a
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: major hurricane. which starts at one 11, probably strengthen a
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: little bit more of the hurricane center does bring it
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: to one 15 and then tries to weaken it right
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: before landfall somewhere around, let's say near Pensacola and the
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: Western pandemic on that area of Florida. And it takes
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: it on shore weekends, starts accelerating for momentum as it
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: does weekend. And it'll make a turn a little jog
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: toward the West before it heads Northeast. And at that point,
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: it was when it heads in our direction and, as
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: we look ahead towards Sunday and Sunday night.
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: You're going to.
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: Get some rain and showers, maybe up to an inch
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: of rain. I don't think big impacts here, but at
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: least some wet weather around. But obviously, as you get
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: down into the southeast, where we see landfall, we're going
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: to see a water rise, that storm surge of water
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: coming in off the Gulf, and then you've got rain,
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: heavy rain and flooding. Severe weather, as you traditionally do
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: on the east side of the eyewall, where you'll get
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: severe weather, including tornadoes in the southeastern U.S. and The
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: heavy rain, the flood risk will move inland. But I
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: think here it's just rain. I don't think we have
• 4:39
  Speaker 7: much of a flood risk at all. Just a damp
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: Sunday forecast that looks like it's going to be the
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: worst of it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Two things of importance.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump going to the Bulldogs, Georgia versus Alabama. He'll
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: get a great reception. Is this going to be wiped
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: out because of this storm slash hurricane going right through
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: that area?
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: No, I think the worst is going to be well past.
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: I mean, it'd be a little breezy, maybe some showers
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: in Tuscaloosa, 630 central kickoff for the Bulldogs and the
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: Crimson Tide. But the worst of it's going to be gone.
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: But they've canceled just about everything else before the game.
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: There's no tailgate. There's none of that stuff. But it
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: will be nasty before and during the day in central,
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: south central Alabama. But it should be improving significantly. as
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: we head toward kickoff.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, he'll love it because he'll get a great reception.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Second, you totally didn't mention Monday, Columbus Day Parade.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Everybody wants to forget it up Fifth Avenue. What's the
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: weather forecast going to be for.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: All those people who don't even want to acknowledge Christopher
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Columbus anymore?
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: In the morning, there could be some lingering showers. I
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: think they'll be ending by probably 7 or 8 o'clock
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: if there's still some leftover showers. I don't think it's
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: going to be a bunch of rain at all. The afternoon,
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: we might get some sun in near 70 degrees.
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: Good, good.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: When you said it wasn't going to hit the football game,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: it was going to be later than the storm, so
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the storm will have moved past by that point. Is
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: that because, because I'm remembering some past storms, they stuck
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: around for a while or they were very large and
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: there was remnants of it at the very least for
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: hours and hours and hours. Is this one slow-moving, or
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: is it that big, or is it just the normal timing?
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: No, not slow-moving.
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: Right now, forward speed northeast at 14 miles per hour,
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: and it will accelerate in forward speed. Every tropical system,
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: whether it's a tropical storm or hurricane, is unique. It's
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: all based on how the wind patterns and the steering
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: currents are basically set up in the atmosphere. This one
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: is set up for a storm to keep moving north.
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: And as it gets into the northern latitudes and the westerlies,
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: it will continue to pick up forward speed as the
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: actual wind speed from the system winds down. So we're
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: not anticipating a slow-moving storm that's hanging around. If anything,
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: it'll speed up. And as we had said, there will
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: be impacts in Alabama, but those impacts will be before kickoff,
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: at least the worst of them. And most of it
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: should move north and then northeast as we head toward
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: 630 kickoff time for that game.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: Ray Stajic, we'll catch up with you later today for
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: a quickie update in case you want to do a
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: pivoting shift and change your mind on it.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: There you go. Like you always do, right?
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: No problem.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: It's possible.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: I thought the biggest thing he said was that the
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: tailgating was canceled.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: That's a big deal in Alabama.
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: It is.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Tailgating and the walk.
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: They do their entrance and all that. All that's canceled.
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: They moved game day inside, so Oh, okay.
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: All that.
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: So anyway, Natalie, you brought to our attention, along with Larry,
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: big story affecting moms and kids in sports in New Jersey.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: What's going on?
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: Well, in Wayne, New Jersey, there is a youth ice
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: hockey league called, I love this name, the Hitmen, Jersey Hitmen.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: What is that, right out of the Sopranos? You can't
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: make it up. It's so Jersey.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Anyway, so- Apparently, they have a rule that, you know,
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: if they want to have any merchandise made, you know,
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: because every team wants to have merchandise, it has to
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: go through the club. Well, apparently some moms decided to
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: make their own team jackets and the owner didn't like
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: it so much.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: What do you mean the owner didn't like it so much?
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, come on. This is a youth league. This
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: is moms.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: You were involved in a soccer league where you and
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: the moms were out there, you know, dealing with the
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: kids who are on the soccer pitch.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: So, I mean, I don't understand this. Yeah, I don't
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: get it either.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: He put out an email to the team basically threatening
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: to suspend the players.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: You 10. We're talking 9 and 10-year-olds.
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: What?
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: Suspend them and... That they were going to have to
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: pay 15% royalty fees or something because it is copyrighted.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, he did copyright it. Then he does have the
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: right to do this. No, he does have the right.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: He absolutely has the right.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: And then he basically said, I was really never going
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: to suspend them. But, and I do understand this. Because
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: you know, Larry, because you have kids that have children
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: right now in youth club sports.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: These parents are crazy. And if you don't.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: Basically threaten suspension or something, their kids are going to
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: get hurt at the end. They're going to ignore you.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but this is a lot different. I mean, those
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: crazy parents are the ones that are going up in
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: the coaches' faces all the time saying, my son's not
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: playing enough and he's better than this person or this person. This,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: it sounds like he's in the right. He's allowed. If
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: he copyrighted this, he's absolutely in the right. I'm not
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: even sure why it made it to a story except
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: for some of the parents must be really upset about
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: it but uh no that was brilliant on his part so.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: Now i take this side of the parents on this
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: come on man this is bad pr for him He
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: doesn't look good.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: It's not bad PR for the parents. I'm telling you,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: in most of these cases, I will find out. And
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I was one of the bad parents. So believe me,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I'm turning myself in. Let's open up this Pandora's box.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Tell us a little bit.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: We don't have time. Trust me, I've talked about it before.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: I've talked about it before. But in this case, he
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: put out, he said to people, don't do this. And
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: they did it anyway. And he has a copyright. So legally...
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know if PR is good, but legally, he
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: is absolutely right.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: I am suggesting now in retaliation that all of those
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: knockoff illegal aliens on Canal Street now have rows and rows.
• 10:51
  Speaker 8: Of these.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: And they'll sell, too. It's a great name. I mean,
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: retaliate on this guy.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: But basically, he's saying, if I'm not this strong that
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: I have to threaten that their kids are not going
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: to play— The parents won't listen to me.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I don't think Curtis has ever been in the world
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: that we've been in with the crazy parents. So it's
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: really difficult to get mad at the coaches who are
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: taking incoming all day long from these crazy parents that
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: say little Bobby is much better than Jim Joe.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Jim Joe? Where did you get that name from, Larry?
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Just came out. Hey, listen, we'd like to hear from you.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Go to the iHeartRadio app and leave us a talkback.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: You could win a Curtis Sliwa and Larry Menti in
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the morning t-shirt, which is going to be awarded every
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: day to our favorite talkback in the morning. And while
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: you're on the free iHeartRadio app, be sure to set
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: a preset for 710WOR. And don't forget, the best talkback
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: of the week takes home a C-Crane radio. Well, this
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: is really interesting. Apparently, Curtis hates Ella Langley so much...
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: He went to a pro to do research on her
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: to show that she doesn't deserve the accolade she's getting
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: and the record she set with Billboard. He can explain
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: when we come back. A chance to see live on
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: stage a Bronx tale. The one-man show starring Chaz Palminteri
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: at 825. Here's iHeartRadio. Curtis Lewa and Larry Minty.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: They're better together. On 710WOR.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Time, Larry and Natalie, for our colleague Rob Astorino. You
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: can hear him on his own show. Saturdays, 4 to 5,
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: right here at 710WOR. But right on time. Rob Astorino,
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: I sat down yesterday and I did the polls on
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: this Marist poll. And I'm telling you, I'm feeling a
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Blakeman surge here. He's winning independence, which, as you know,
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: generally doesn't happen until the last two weeks. The unlike
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: abilities for Hochul continue to be there. And he seems
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: like he's got a tight campaign now. The commercials are good.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: He's going to the right places. He's with Trump in
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: Syracuse today. What's your perception?
• 13:09
  Speaker 8: Look, I've been saying this, Curtis, consistently. The numbers for
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: Hochul are not where they need to be. Not at all.
• 13:16
  Speaker 8: They're soft. She's unlikable. They don't think the state's going
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: in the right direction. And Blakeman, as you said, I mean,
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: independency has consistently been winning. OK, so that with regard
• 13:29
  Speaker 8: to upstate New York still going with with a Republican.
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: And that's actually people say, oh, they always go Republican.
• 13:35
  Speaker 8: It hasn't been that way in the last decade. They've
• 13:38
  Speaker 8: gone Democrat as well. And, you know, a lot of
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: upstate New Yorkers have left or died. So, you know,
• 13:43
  Speaker 8: it's changed a little bit. But he's also she's also
• 13:46
  Speaker 8: not doing well in the suburbs and Long Island's included
• 13:49
  Speaker 8: in that. So the other key thing in Long Island,
• 13:52
  Speaker 8: all the town supervisors are up. Most of them are Republican.
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: So they're going to be pulling out the vote, too.
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: So there's a lot of things working in Blakeman's direction
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: this year. I go back to my polling in 2009
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: when I won my county executive race. I was losing
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: by seven or eight points in a two to one
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: Democratic county late in the election. And it was like, oh,
• 14:13
  Speaker 8: you can't win. You can't win. And I won by 13.
• 14:15
  Speaker 8: That was a huge swing. Same thing when I was
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: running for governor. Now I lost the race by 12
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: and a half or whatever it was. But the poll
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: in the public polling had me down by 30 points
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: going into Election Day. And, you know, we picked up
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: 20 points. Because people actually voted. So the point is,
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: there's a lot happening. Look at the numbers, but don't
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: rely totally on the numbers. People still have to vote.
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: And they're in a pissy mood right now for the
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: right reasons. I don't know if you guys saw the debate.
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: I didn't want to forget this. But last night, and
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: of course it was on New York One, because that's
• 14:50
  Speaker 8: the only thing the Democrats will do. They only want
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: to do debates on cable to limit people being able
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: to see it instead of on Channel 4 or 7
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: or whatever. But that attorney general debate here in New York,
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: Saritha Kamatareddy is an unbelievable candidate. She sliced and diced
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: Tish James last night on everything. It was so embarrassing
• 15:15
  Speaker 8: to watch Tish James try to hum, you know, humming, humming,
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: humming her way through this on the Cornell situation, on ICE,
• 15:23
  Speaker 8: on everything. It was really embarrassing. And I hope people
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: Take a look at Sarita Kamatureti for Attorney General, because
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: God knows we need a change there. She was fantastic.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we should talk about more of that on Monday
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: and pull some of the bites and some of the
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: sound from that so we can play it for people.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: So we'll try to get to that on Monday. Now,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: there was so much going on last night, of course,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: that things like that get lost, and especially because of
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the outlet that's running it. But I wanted to talk
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: to you about the polls because you talked about them
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: a moment ago. You talked about your own poll, how
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: it was wrong in Westchester County. I saw Harry Enten
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: talking about the polls and how bad they were in
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: the last election. And every single time it seems to
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: favor Democrats. So I started to do a deeper dive
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: on in it. And Real Clear Politics does a great
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: job at looking at the polls and looking at their
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: potential bias. Listen to this. They studied 18 polls. over
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: a 10-year period. And how many of you do you
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: think favored Republicans of those 18?
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: I'm going to say zero. Oh, it's four.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: It's four. So 14 to four. But listen to some
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: of the Democratic bias. For instance, let's pick out Monmouth
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: University right down the road. 84% of the errors they
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: made favored Democrats.
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: 84%.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: And so the problem is, as you well know, people
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: see polls and sometimes it suppresses the votes. You got
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: to ignore the polls. You have to, I know it's
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: a necessary evil, but I think that you would counsel people,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: you know, vote with your heart, not with the polls.
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: Oh, a hundred percent. I also wish if I had
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: my way, I would ban polling to be public because
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: it has so skewed the debates and the elections and
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: people like, Like you said, they're like, I'm not going
• 17:17
  Speaker 8: out because my candidate is winning big or my candidate
• 17:20
  Speaker 8: is going to get clobbered or whatever. And so people
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: don't go out or they follow the leader. They want
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: to be with the winner. So they vote for who
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: they think the polls are telling them they're going to win.
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: And if I could snap a finger and do one thing,
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: it would be to ban public polling. Just stop it. People,
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: make up your own freaking minds. But having said that,
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: I've seen this all the time. Now, look, they're not
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: always wrong. And generally speaking, they're within reason. But in
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: the end, you have a lot of things brewing at
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: once and people have to vote and things get skewed
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: in these numbers. And there's such an overemphasis on this,
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: like it is a horse race with not actual people
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: being involved in it. So Hopefully, I honestly believe the
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: timing is right. And think about how crazy this is, guys.
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: You've got Republican states that are struggling, right? Democrats are
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: doing much better, at least in the polls, in these
• 18:24
  Speaker 8: red states. And in purple and blue states, you've got
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: Republicans doing better. Republicans can actually win in Oregon. They're
• 18:32
  Speaker 8: winning in Oregon.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Minneapolis.
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: In Minnesota, she's winning to Foyer. So it's a crazy year.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: One last thing on the polls, though. They are very consistent. Affordability,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: cost of living, war in Iran, almost every poll you
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: look at, how do the Republicans overcome that?
• 18:53
  Speaker 8: Well, one other thing, though, about the polling, and it's
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: been very consistent, and the pollsters admit this, it is
• 19:00
  Speaker 8: very difficult to get accurate responses from certainly people in
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: rural areas, And people who have been voting for Trump.
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: That's a question that if they do not ask in
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: a poll, it is skewed. Who did you vote for
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: in 2024 for president? Because that is much more reliable
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: than not having that question asked. And that's one thing
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: I look in polling right away, whether they ask that
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: question or not. But yeah, I mean, look, affordability is
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: no question. I mean, some of the states, I was
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: just in Nebraska, which is very red. And, you know,
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: they're struggling in the polling. They're going to win, I think.
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: But yeah, the affordability issue is a big issue. There's
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: no question about it. The question is whether people want
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: to put a long-term solution by giving the Democrats power
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: or not.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: What were you doing in Nebraska?
• 19:49
  Speaker 8: Pete Ricketts, the senator there, I was with him for Newsmax,
• 19:52
  Speaker 8: so we were together for Monday. And, you know, look, again,
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: Nebraska will come home. At the end of the day,
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: Pete Ricketts is going to win, but it's tighter than
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: it should be, at least in the polling. And the
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: bad part about this is national republicans have to divert
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: money so they're pulling the plug in north carolina looks
• 20:13
  Speaker 8: like they're pulling the plug in georgia and they're sending
• 20:15
  Speaker 8: that money to other states like texas and michigan and
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: even kansas which wasn't they haven't voted for a democrat
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: for senate since the 1930s literally but they're sending money
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: there to prop up their candidate.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: So people can see that out on monday what time do.
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: You know i don't i don't know when it's going
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: to air oh you're.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Bad you're really bad at promoting things newsmax is going
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: to be upset with you rob esterino Host of the

  Speaker 3: Curtis Lewa and Larry Minty in the morning.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Absolutely love the show since I made the switch over
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: from you-know-who.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: On 710 WOR.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, right on time, Joe Neumeier. And our movie guy. Joe,
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: you got to do me a solid. Every day I'm
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: scrolling and I see Hopalong Cassidy, Michael Douglas going from
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: one interview to another interview for his memoirs. One hell
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: of a ride. And what I can tell from the snippets...
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: I would not want to be Catherine Zeta-Jones or his kids.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: This guy, it's just one sexual liaison after another sexual liaison.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: Then somebody asks him, well, you know, you had throat
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: cancer and you said it was because of you know what?
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: And he went crazy.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: It's sort of like you open up that pandora's box
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: guy then you might as well just deal with everything
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: i i feel like i i.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: Need to take a hot shower after dealing with.
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: This well that's certainly the case with all these guys
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: i agree with you who write these sort of tell
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: all of these memoirs it seems like he he called
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: i mean from what i've read he has called uh
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: previous girlfriends previous women that he was with and confirm
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: that it was okay that he used their names or
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: something in the book um you know the big one
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: of course that people are talking about is that uh
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: he and Kathleen Turner during the filming of Romancing the
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: Stone which is still remaining such a fun movie right
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: and and they're both great in it and she's gorgeous
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: in it but she was sort of I think her
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: response was like after 45 years why do you think
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: anybody would care was uh was I think her her
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: response to him um yeah you know I I will
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: say this though about Michael Douglas I mean that was
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: always sort of part of his His image, and I
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: think that for him, he's kind of leaning into it,
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: but I agree. It does make you want to, you know,
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: kind of take a shower or throw the book across
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: the room and say, you know what, that's enough. You know,
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: some things can remain secret. That's okay at 82 years old, Michael.
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: Keep some things to yourself.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Good idea. That's great advice. Let's talk about the movies
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: coming out because I loved, loved, loved Social Network, the
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: beginning of Facebook, and Mark Zuckerberg when he was in
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: college starting it. I never, ever in a million years
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: thought there'd be a sequel to that.
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: Right. How do you do that in some way? Because
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: the thing that people have been saying, Larry, which is
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: sort of true, which is that we're sort of living
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: in that, in the sequel to the social network, right?
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: Every day we're dealing with new things, and there's actually...
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: There's a film coming out called Artificial that I think
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: kind of deals with that, too. It kind of deals
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: with Sam Altman and Anthropic, and that's coming out later
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: in the year. We'll be talking about it. But I'm
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: giving this film a solid three stars. It's written and
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: directed by Aaron Sorkin, who won an Oscar for his
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: screenplay for Social Network. And it does a lot of
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: the same things really well, which is it sort of
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: kind of figures out why we're sort of living in
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: this thing. Like, you know, in the Social Network, it was,
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: you know, why did this kid, Mark Zuckerberg, create this website,
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: and it turns out to be kind of for pretty
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: creepy reasons. This one sort of says, how are we
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: in this situation that we're in now where there's so
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: much disinformation, there's so many things kind of going, and
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: you think like Facebook, oh, and now it's called Meta.
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: You think, oh, Facebook is just about people connecting up
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: with their high school pals. It's not that. And the
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: movie sort of underscores that. And it also does something
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: really interesting that I wasn't anticipating. It kind of turns,
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: it's kind of split into two sections. One is a
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: reporter who's talking to a whistleblower about the way that
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: the algorithms work. And that part is really pretty good.
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: And it's kind of like a 70s thriller. It's a
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: little like All the President's Men or something. So it's
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: got this sort of 70s media thriller thing going on.
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: Then the other half of it is that Zuckerberg, who's
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: now played by Jeremy Strong from Succession, as he's preparing
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: to kind of give some testimony to Congress. And he
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: comes off really robotic and scary. And while that's also
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: kind of an interesting part of the movie, it's sort
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: of not telling us anything we don't know.
• 24:51
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: billboard is really great and they're actually a sort of
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: one of the as a uh... kind of analyst that uh...
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: counselor comes in the kind of into business advice of
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: the previous uh... previous employee so i'm giving it three
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: stars it's interesting it's not it is not the social
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: network though it doesn't have that that really kind of
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: propulsive crazy kind of energy that that movie had great
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: score great performances Everyone's really good in the movie. It's
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: just a little bit of like, you know, okay, now what?
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: That we're kind of dealing with. So three stars for
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: The Social Reckoning. Good, but not great.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: Now, Jill Neumeier, she's one of our own from Brooklyn
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: and Hathaway. She had taken a bit of a hiatus.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: You know, she wasn't doing films. I wonder what happened.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: This year, five releases in one year? How does that happen?
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: And pregnant?
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: Five in one year? Five in one year. Well, sometimes,
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: you know, you kind of film things maybe like a
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: year and a half ago, and then it happens to
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: come out in the same week. But I think maybe
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: in her head, people have said, like, maybe she knew
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: she was going to be taking a break off to
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: have another kid, and so she wanted to get as
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: many films out there as she could. I will say Verity,
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: which came out last week and was number one, and
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: I think it was actually kind of fun. She doesn't
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: do much, she kind of lays there, because she's supposed
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: to be semi-comatose in the movie. So she gives a
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: good performance, but she also kind of, a lot of
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: the movies, she's sort of relaxing. So maybe that was
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: sort of the appeal to Verity, too. Oh, I can
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: be in this movie, but I can really just be
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: in a hospital bed for the majority of the movie.
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: But the mystery is, does she really need to be
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: in the hospital bed? So maybe she saw that one.
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: That would be kind of like a little vacation. I
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: could just take a nap and get a paycheck for it.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: That's a great plan. Hey, earlier this week, a great
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: actress died, Eva Marie Saint, and I'm sure you have
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: a lot to say about her.
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: I do you know she was really a very terrific
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: interesting actors for the nineteen fifties who kind of went
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: on to not do as much but how important she
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: was to nineteen fifties movies specifically for two movies of
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: course but one of the on the waterfront which he
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: got that supporting actors for uh... she played the picture
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: of a of a dock worker who's been killed and
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: she begins a romance with marlon brando and that movie
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: is really important in so many ways And she was
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: part of that new school of actors, Brando, Montgomery Clift,
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: Rod Steiger, and those guys. She was sort of a
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: female equivalent of that, and she was really, really terrific
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: in that movie. And then, of course, one of my
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: favorite films, North by Northwest, my favorite Hitchcock film. I
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: often have it running on my DVR or on my
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: DVD player in my office because I just feel like
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: there's nothing better than having North by Northwest on in
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: the background. She's fantastic. She's Eve Kendall in that movie.
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: She's a spy, and she kind of has to get
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: Cary Grant in and out of trouble because he doesn't
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: know she's a spy. Maybe I've just ruined it if
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: anybody's seen it.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: If they haven't seen it by now, it's on them.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Don't worry about it.
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: Right, right.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: 68-year spoiler alert.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: And just one update real quick.
• 27:52
  Speaker 9: They're still protesting at the Kips Bay theaters every day.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: I've never seen this.
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: There's riots in Paris and there's demonstrations at the Kips
• 28:03
  Speaker 9: Bay movie theater right by NYU Medical Center.
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: Isn't that great, though? People are saying, don't take away
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: this movie theater. And it's not even like, what I
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: love about that, too, is it's not sort of like
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: this little boutique art house theater or something. It's a
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: big chain theater, but it's the only one in that
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: section of town. And people are saying, you know what,
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: we've got enough CBSes, we've got enough Duane Rees, whatever.
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: Keep that movie theater. It's so important. People with kids,
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: they can go there with their kids on Saturday afternoons.
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: I support that protest 100%. Keep going with it, right?
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, they have Joe Neumeier. You've got to come out
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: here and protest with them.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: To the barricades, Joe! To the barricades!
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: It'll be like Les Miserables, right?
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Joe Neumeier, film journalist, WOR, movie-emitted host. Joe, have a
• 28:52
