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

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Doc, that's right back where I need to be with
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Larry Menti and Natalie in the morning and all of you.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: I will tell you one thing before we get into
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the story that I've been attached to like an appendage
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: here throughout New York State, throughout the country, throughout the world,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: is I was at the Atlantic Antics yesterday, Larry. And
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: this is the largest street fair in all of New
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: York City.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: And, you know, it was raining.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: So I put a damper on the Pulaski Day Parade,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: which I was at with Nancy, who's all Polish, my
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: oldest son, Anthony. The moment I got over to Atlantic
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Avenue between the Barclays Center and the East River, the
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: place was packed. And I knew that our show was
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: doing well as I was walking up and down, and
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of millennials and baby boomers were saying, Hey,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: missed you with Larry on Friday.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, how nice.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Now that's, I mean, that's a compliment, but also a
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: compliment to the fact that they're listening to WOR. And again,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I still got a series of the responses, you know,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: and listening to WABC, it's all Israel all the time,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Israel First Radio. So that was a good focus group
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: in the rain, which was packed. Unfortunately, other festivals didn't
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: have anywhere near the attendance. So I picked the right
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: place to be as our focus group. And naturally, what
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: do you think I was getting feedback on also other
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: than the fact that they missed me on Friday so
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: they knew I was on with you, Larry, on 710WO?
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: What do you think? What do you think?
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: That's wonderful. I want to get to something else if
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: I can, and you know what it is. But I
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: don't think you know what I'm going to say, and
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: I'm upset with myself.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, wait a second. You're upset with yourself.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: I am.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: I didn't know. I just had no idea. And I
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: want to apologize to you. I want to apologize to
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: you because many times I have accused you of defending
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Zora Mamdani just last week.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: We got into a thing where I said, why won't
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: you criticize him? And so you kept trying to criticize
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: anybody else but him. And I said, what about Mamdani?
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: What about Mamdani? And you wouldn't know. You wouldn't say anything.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: You wouldn't.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: You wouldn't give in to say something. And now I understand.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Now I get it. I understand that you two have
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: a relationship that many of us didn't know about until
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: it came out in the open over the weekend when
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: you were sitting with him, when you were both getting
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: your flu shots. And then he said, oh my God,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: my heart flutters. He said to you, I'll hold your hand. Yeah.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: And you grabbed the window and you lit up. And
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: then you turned to the nurse. And what you said,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: it's like out of a great movie. It's like out
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: of Titanic. Let me just play that part.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I can hold your hand. What happens if I faint?
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: What happens if I faint? What happens if I faint? Listen, again,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I apologize. I just didn't know. You know, love is love.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: And that's fine. It is fine with me. And I'm
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: sure it's fine with everybody else. And I'm glad you're
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: out in the open with it.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Well, why am I doing it?
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: I thought you shivered a little bit.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I did. I hadn't eaten anything. I don't know.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: It timed out. Listen, you don't have to hide this anymore.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: We all know now. It's fine. It really is fine.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I support you a thousand percent. I appreciate that. I
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: support you a thousand percent in this.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that. But remember, this is the second time
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I've joined the mayor. The first time was for Inner Circle.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: They raised scholarship money for aspiring journalists. And people were
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: critical of me, Republicans, for playing Dr. Kliwa, giving him
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: a shot because he's allergic to cats because they were
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: adopting a cat. And I and Nancy would encourage people
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to adopt unwanted cats. So they attacked me for that.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Then in this situation, I get attacked from Republicans because
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: they said, why would you be sitting there and holding
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: his hand and taking a flu vaccine?
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: And immediately I said, excuse me?
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, what about our president, the leader of our party,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the commander in chief? Three times he's had a love
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: affair with John Mondami.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Not like that one.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Uh, close.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Because remember, every time, and maybe you can figure it
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: out why you would always say he's such a handsome man.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: He's such a handsome man. He's such a handsome man.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: So if the.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: President can have a relationship with Zoran Mandami for the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: good of the country, the good of the city, and
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I'm doing PSAs with him, really, what's wrong with that?
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you, he does attack him a lot,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: and he calls him a communist, and he attacks his policy,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: and he's said publicly that he's ruining New York City.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: You haven't done that. And again, listen, I just was
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: in the dark, and rightfully so. Your business is your business.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: I don't need to know anything.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I think he's jealous.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: But when I saw that moment, no, I feel good
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: for him.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: I think your relationship with Curtis, you're feeling jealous now.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: No, I'm hoping that he's going to stop talking about
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: consummating the relationship. That's what I'm hoping for.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: My relationship is with you. You can't get out of
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: this relationship.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: No, there's someone else. There is someone else that I
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: didn't know about. And I and I think everybody here
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: is so happy.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: What do you think? I'm cheating on you.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: No, no, no. I don't think we ever had anything.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: That was all.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: But let me give you how this came about, because
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I don't talk to the mayor like the president does.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I want to know because we didn't.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: Know anything about this.
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Nobody.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: No.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: And somebody said, did you see?
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: I was like, no, no.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: I was like, wait a minute.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: How did he not tell us this was happening? Well, again,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: it isn't.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Just the hand-holding or the whole relationship? What didn't he
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: tell us about?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Well, actually, I was on with our partners, Elvis Duran, C100,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: and they were saying, oh, you're going to get a
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: flu shot next week with us?
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: I said, no, I got other plans. Good for you.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I stood them up.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're loyal.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Let me explain the origin of this. Again, I don't
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: have communication with the mayor, unlike the president. Both of
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: them have acknowledged. They talk to one another. They text
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: one another.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: That's fine.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: So you don't have his cell phone?
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: No.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: His aide reached out to me and said, hey, would
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: you mind- We're doing the flu vaccine, and senior citizens
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: die at a rate of about 2,000. I said, oh,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: you're calling me because I'm a senior citizen. They said, well, yeah,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: kind of. I said, okay, where's it happening? Then they
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: gave me the daytime and place board at Health Downtown Brooklyn.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: And you know who I thought of? And you know
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I talked about this a lot. I couldn't figure it out.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: A colleague of ours, Ernie Anastas, remember? Sure. In better
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: shape than both of us combined. 82 years old. I
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: used to see him go in and out of WABC
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: when I was there. I said, man, I only wish
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I was that healthy when I'm 82.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: And he looked a young 82.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Remember how all of a sudden he caught the flu,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: then pneumonia. Then he goes into a hospital in Westchester.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: One day he's dead and he's not alone. Unfortunately, it
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: seems you get into that age range about 80. The
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: flu leads to pneumonia. And actually, you can't treat pneumonia
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: at home. You have to go to the hospital. And
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: sometimes you pick up things at the hospital you normally
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: wouldn't pick up.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: So I say, yeah, yeah, I'll do it. I'll do it.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: And of course, naturally, hopefully, there will be individuals out
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: there who are senior citizens who will look at that
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and say, yeah, yeah, yeah, here's a tough guy, Curtis.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: He's taking it. A lot of guys will not take
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the needle. Or if they see a drop of blood,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: they faint. Some of the toughest guys who've ever existed.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: So I did my part. But naturally, I'm being lampooned.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I'm being made fun of by some. But others just say, well,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: this is great. That's awful that they make fun of you.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: You're reaching out.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: That's awful. They should just embrace your relationship.
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: They should.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Like I am. They should.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: I think it's wonderful. I really think it's wonderful.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I want to applaud you, Larry, for putting aside– your
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: political bias in this, because there is political bias involved
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: at everything and understanding it was for the good of
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: the city, the good of the state, the good of
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the country and the good of our fellow senior citizens.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I think you qualify as a senior citizen now, right?
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. Over 65, right?
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: I'm there. But, but I, I, I think there's more
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: than that. And I, I, Look, I don't want to
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: belabor the point. I really don't want to belabor it because,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: you know. Well, let's get some talk back from our.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: You've been uncomfortable with it for a long time. Let
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: me just finish this. But I am, just know that
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: you have my support in this.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: I understand.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: In your relationship.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: And I want you to know I'm not cheating on you.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I am not cheating on you, Larry, in any way,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: shape or form.
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: Please.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Please.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Go ahead. We've never held hands. Oh, by the way,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I forgot to tell you the most important thing. We've
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: got to give the talk back, and we've got to
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: wait until Natalie comes in. She'll appreciate this.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Okay. Well, here she's back already. Go to the iHeartRadio
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: app and leave us a talk back. You could win
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: a Curtis Lewa and Larry Menti in the morning T-shirt,
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: which is going to be awarded every day to our
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: favorite talk back of the morning. And while you're on
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: the free iHeartRadio app, why don't you go ahead, if
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: you haven't done it already, and set a preset for 710WOR.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: You'll be able to find this so much easier. And
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: don't forget the best talk back of the week. Takes
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: home the Sea Crane Radio.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Now, Natalie, you'll appreciate this. My wife, Nancy, drove me
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: all the way up to Binghamton University to speak. That's
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: why I couldn't be with you Friday morning, Larry, and
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: drove me all the way back. And we had great conversations.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Everything was going well. After I got the shot with
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Zoran Mondami and we held hands, I come home and
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: she's not saying anything. I know there's a problem. She's
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: not saying anything at all. She's stoic. I said, what's
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the problem? She said, oh, you never hold my hand.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: You never hold my hand.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Now, to a degree, she's correct.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: She's correct.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: She's been with me through the whole campaign. No other
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: woman was with the other candidates, not even the mayor's wife.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Cuomo only had his daughters. I don't know if he's
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: with anybody now, but Nancy was always at my side.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Because you never held my hand. So at the Pulaski
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Day Parade yesterday, what did I do?
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I grabbed her hand. Because she's all Polish all day.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: But that barely made up.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine?
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: She was the angriest at all. You never hold my hand.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: I can see that. I can understand the anger. But
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: in these type of relationships you have, that happens a lot.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: That does happen a lot.
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: I do have to say, though, you know, the video
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: came out. Everybody was talking about it. And I think
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: you really did do a good PSA because it sparked
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: conversation in my household about, oh, when are we going
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: to get our flu shot?
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: It wasn't even a thought.
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: That's not the conversation that sparks in our household.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: No, it did.
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: It really did.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Well, you see, it shows.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: You when something is volatile, either for or against or
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: both at the same time, people are going to pay
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: attention one way or the other.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: They're going to pay attention to something. I swear I.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: Did not cheat on you, Larry. We consummated our relationship.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: You got my blessing. Please, you are just fine.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: When we come back, imagine not knowing who your father
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: is only to find out that he is a famous
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: pop rock musician. Wait till you hear this story, plus
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: a chance to see A Bronx Tale, the one-man show
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: starring Chaz Palminteri at 825.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: The conversation continues. Curtis Lewa and Larry Menti.
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: 710WOR.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, if you had never known where Cornell
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: University was up in Ithaca, New York, you certainly know now.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Not just locally, not just statewide, not just across the nation,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: but across the world. Because just as you had an
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: entire movement that started Me Too, now you have a
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: movement that has started as a result of this Cornell
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: investigation that is being done on behalf of Jane Doe.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: There are people doxing as we speak, trying to find
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: out who this young lady is. And no doubt they're
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: going to put her name out there for public consumption.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: on the many internet formats that exist. We've gotten further
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: information from the university after it was announced by Governor
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Hochul that she is assigning, as a special counsel for
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: the investigation, the Attorney General Tish James to take over
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: for the local DA, that records show that campus police
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: had informed the DA that they had conducted additional interviews
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: with the suspects beyond taking a statement, and apparently he
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: declined to look into it or accept the information. And
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: we've learned more about how the assault took place. Apparently
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the young lady told the authorities that she had been
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: placed in a closet. She was like bait for a
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: group of hungry lions, and she was continuously assaulted. We
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: also learned that as a result of the investigation, Two
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: of the students were expelled. Two were suspended for two
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: semesters and welcome back. One had graduated and two were
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: found not responsible. But Cornell is looking worse and worse
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: as time goes on. I know the chancellor had something
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: to say publicly over the weekend, Larry.
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: We must do everything we can to prevent what happened
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: to Jane Doe and everyone before her and anyone after her.
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: from ever happening again.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Curtis, he was awful. The president was awful in his statement.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: I know he had all of these legal things he
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: needed to hit and stay away from, but he showed
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: no emotion. He didn't show any kind of caring for
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Jane Doe. All he was trying to do was get
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: out in front of criticism and lawsuits against Cornell University. Look,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: there's going to be a lot of people that are
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: fired at Cornell University. He might be one of them
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: because there are so many people that failed this young girl.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: It sounds like she did all the right things and
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: there was nobody there for her.
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: There are real legal and privacy limits on what we
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: can say, but we will make a greater effort to
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: explain what we can to provide context about the actions
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: Cornell has taken and to be more transparent.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: And that's all we get from this doof. Did you
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: hear any, did you hear for a moment there any sorrow? Any,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: oh my God, I can't believe this would happen. Oh
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: my God, if this was my daughter, I'd want to
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: kill the person.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: No.
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: No, no.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: He was very staid. It's almost like he was reading
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: a statement. It was almost like a hostage statement.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: From the, no doubt, the massive number of attorneys who
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: were at the beck and call of Cornell University. But,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: He made it seem like he was handcuffed, like he
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: had no other choice because of privacy concerns. And that's
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: not true. Uh, you have a defense counsel now, uh,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: who is, uh, suing the university. I'm sure it'd be
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: more than happy to meet with the university because you're
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: going to have to resolve this civil suit and boy,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Cornell is going to be paying a lot. But in
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: the interim, uh, university might learn of some information if
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: the defense council wanted to reveal it as part of
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: a settlement that would be extraordinarily helpful to them they
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: don't seem interested in doing any of that seems like
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: they're just going to put their backs to the wall
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: going to take a public beating continuously i mean whoever
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: heard of cornell before dartmouth most people didn't even know
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: where they were even brown to an extent it was
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: always the big ones you know Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Princeton.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Those were the big four Ivy League schools.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: But now, the whole world knows about Cornell.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Everybody knows them now. And you said they look like
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: they were putting their backs against a wall and making
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: some type of hostage statement. No, it was a firing squad.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Everybody that made a statement, everybody that covered this up,
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: everybody that finagled that report... So the word rape wasn't
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: used in it, although she said it twice in her
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: statement to the police department, should resign. I can't believe
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: people haven't already resigned. The head of the Cornell Police Department. Gone.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: You're going to be gone either way. Do it nobly.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Just get out of there. Anybody that turned that report
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: over to the DA and hid all that information, gone.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: You should be leaving.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: And I think the only reason they're not right now
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: is because Letitia James has taken over the investigation. And
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: that means there's going to be a lot of people
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: that are going to jail. Not just those men that
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: were in the gang rape, but anybody that tried to
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: cover it up.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think also– I'm sorry, Larry.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: I think very quickly also based on the local DA
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: who has limited resources and didn't appear in his initial
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: statements to be a bit of a country bumpkin. When
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: you're the attorney general of any state, you have endless resources,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: lots of staff lawyers who deal with civil and also
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: criminal complaints. So she has the staff that can do
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: the deep dive. Sorry about that.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you heard Trump talk about her and said, the
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: people she's gone after, you're not going to get a
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: fair shake.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Did we have Cuomo talk about her and the 13
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: sexual harassment charges?
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: No, he didn't say anything. Oh, he ain't the president.
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: We will review the facts, gather evidence, interview witnesses, and
• 18:28
  Speaker 8: if warranted, pursue prosecutions.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: If warranted. There's going to be prosecutions because she needs
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: another head on her bed stand.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: What's going to happen is you have the seven, the
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Cornell seven. One of them, if their defense attorney is
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: aggressive and bright, is going to break ranks first and
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: rat everybody else out and become the state's witness. I'm
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: sure that's taking place behind closed doors as we speak,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: where whatever defense attorneys have been hired by family are saying, look,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: we can break out of this. We can become the
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: state's witness. I can reach out to the attorney general's
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: office and say, you're willing to cooperate because whoever goes
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: first will end up doing no time, but you're going
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: to be expected to rat out all the others. But
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: if you don't, somebody is going to become state's witness
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: and then you're going to jail.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know who they're going to be. I mean,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: it's pretty obvious who's going to turn evidence and it's
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: the first two. Because if you remember in her statement,
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: She says, I was okay with the first two guys.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: I said no after that. After that, all these people
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: started coming and they were violent with her. So there
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: can be assault charges too. So those first two, and remember,
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: she texted one of them the next day and they
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: had a conversation. So they apparently kept going with a
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: relationship and she said in her text no I had
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: a good time until a billion other guys showed up
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: is the way she phrased it in her text and
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: the other thing is that a day before the sexual
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: assault the police the campus police responded there was an
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: overdose on ketamine in that same frack Hours before, on
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: the day of the sexual assault, they had made a
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: drug bust.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: In that frat for ketamine. So then a few hours later,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: you know, it was back to Animal House. You say
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: to yourself, what were the guardrails in that frat? I mean, A,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: you had an OD the day before on ketamine, one
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: of the frat brothers. Then hours before the actual sexual attack,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: The Cornell Police Department makes an arrest of one of
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the frat members for possession of ketamine. And then they
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: continue this aberrant behavior. You would have thought that would
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: have been a warning, like, guys, we got to chill out, man.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: The cops are all over us.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: No, didn't matter to them.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: And if you don't know the alias for ketamine, it
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: is called the date rape drug. It is given to
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: women so that they can go ahead and have sex
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: with you. That's what they're doing. I'm not going to
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: say it's rape, because I'm sure in certain times it's not.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: But it's supposed to loosen up women for you on
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: the date. Let me talk about the wonderful thing that's
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: come from this. The only really good thing is that
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: women across the country, in colleges across the country, or
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: who graduated from colleges across the country, now have the
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: courage to come forward. And they're all calling themselves Jane Doe.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: in support of the victim at Cornell University. And they're
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: all sharing their stories online. And I would tell you
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: that you really should search some of them out because
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: they are heartfelt and they are emotional. And also, at
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Cornell University, they've now had two town halls with students,
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: and they've come out with their own demands on what
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: should be happening on their campus. Isn't it amazing that
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: they're the ones that are coming out and said, here's
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: the things that have to change? But how wonderful is that?
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: And there are women that are now banding together looking
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: for more victims on Cornell campus. Now, this is going
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: to be an enormous story, not just in Cornell University,
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: but across the country, because now you've unleashed the silent.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: They've now got the voice to come forward and say,
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: remember it before? Me too. This happened to me.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: A lot of the student journalists at Cornell University did
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: not let this story die. Some of the same people
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: who interviewed me, although I was unaware of this last
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: year when I spoke at Cornell, some really young, bright
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: men and women from around the country who go to
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Cornell were doing the deep dive all the time. I'd
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: be interested to see if the university was trying to
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: stop that. You see, that's the other story that hasn't
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: been told. The young journalists at the school have been
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: given credit for keeping that story alive. But was there
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: any attempt by the administration to thwart their effort.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: As we've seen at other universities?
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that'll be fascinating. Do you know Olivia Dean? Big
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: star right now.
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: She's another one of your stars.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: She is.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: What was that one about Texas? What is that song?
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: The number one song in the country for 24 straight weeks. Yeah,
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: that was a pretty big deal.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: The conversation continues. Curtis Lewa and Larry Minty.
• 23:23
  Speaker 8: 710WOR.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Well, right on time.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Sportsmeister extraordinaire, Warner Wolf.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: First Warner. About the cardiac New York Giants.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: If you're a Giant fan like I am, you're on
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: the verge of cardiac arrest.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: But you're happy, right? You're happy.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: But let me say, I'm going to put an asterisk
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: in you. When I was a sportscaster, I was always neutral.
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: I didn't want to become a homer. So I was
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: never anybody's fan. Just show me the right play. But anyway,
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: get to the point. For the Giants, second straight week's
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: a game-winning interception. One in the end zone, one at
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: the two. Last week was 17 seconds left, and yesterday
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: with 11 seconds left. So the Giants win. Otherwise, they
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: would be 1-3 rather than 3-1. And as long as
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: Jameis Winston can keep the Giants in the game, you
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: know he had 250-yard street touchdowns, and Dominic Zavada, can
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: keep making field goals. This guy's now nine for nine.
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: The Giants won't need Jonathan James McCarthy, otherwise known as J.J. Now,
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: last week, you guys laughed at me when I said
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: John Harbaugh would go after his old Super Bowl-winning quarterback,
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: 41-year-old Joe Flacco. My source said he did, but that
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: the Bengals wanted too much for him. Do you know
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: who my source was?
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: No, who? Joe Flacco.
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: Me. Meanwhile, Geno Smith, man, if he continues to play
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: like that, just eight completions all day with just 119 yards,
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: you can forget the one and three jets now. The
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: Jets were outgained by the Bears, and backup quarterback, Bajan Tyson,
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: who he, 414 yards to only 157. And once again,
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: I have to ask, can Aaron Glenn, can he handle
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: being both a head coach and call the defensive signals
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: at the same time? So far, he hasn't shown he can.
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: And it was a huge week. From the underdogs and
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: the points, if you bet the 15 underdogs and took
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: the points, you were 12-3. The underdogs beat the spread
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: 12 out of 15 games, and the Falcons are 2.5-point
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: underdog against the Saints tonight. All right, Rays and Yankees
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: again tonight in Tampa game two. Cam Schlittler against Freddy Peralta.
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: He's the guy that pitched for the Mets, and they
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: traded him at the deadline.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: They gave up on him.
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: Yes, they did, and he's been great for the Tampa Rays. Gosh,
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: here's the advantage of winning game one in the best
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: three out of five, because the winner... only has to
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: split the remaining four games. The loser of game one
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: must now win three out of four. By the way,
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: here's one for you. The Yankees' payroll is $ 342 million
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: with taxes. The Rays' payroll is only $ 113 million.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: But I got to tell you, I got to tell you, Warner,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: I'm watching the tail end of the game. Austin Wells
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: gets a double down the right field line. And he
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: decides that you're going to stretch it into a triple.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: This guy is the catcher. There's two outs in the eighth.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: He should have stayed at second. The third base coach said,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: stay there, stay there.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: He runs right to him. He gets stolen out by
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Country Mile. What a dumb thing to do.
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: That's right. With two outs, you know, a single scores
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: you from second, period. You don't try and stretch it. Now,
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: maybe with one out or no outs, okay, because then
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: a sacrifice fly.
• 27:39
  Speaker 7: But, no, you're right.
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: By the way, you know what that proves with the payrolls?
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: It's not how much you spend. It's how you spend it.
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: That's for Steve Cohen. Now, he was the worst response
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: trying to cover up a blunder. Mets incompetent general manager
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: David Stearns, who when asked about giving away his all-star
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: first baseman Pete Alonzo and without a replacement, said... I
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: don't get a mulligan.
• 28:12
  Speaker 8: Mulligan?
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: Come on, man. This ain't golf. A mulligan is a
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: do-over when everyone else agrees and says, okay, you can
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: do it. No one agreed with you letting Alonzo go.
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: And all Alonzo did was lead the American League in
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: home runs with 43 and RBIs with 113. And unlike
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: your injury-prone Mets, he never missed the game. Okay, I'm
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: assuming you guys are old enough. This week in sports,
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: October 3rd, 1951, it's the 75th anniversary of the Giants'
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: Bobby Thompson's pennant-winning home run over the Dodgers. Here was
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: the call by Giants radio announcer Russ Hodges. Okay, now
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: you guys remember.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: That, right?
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: 1951?
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: How old do you think we are?
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: Well, I know Curtis is 72. I don't know about you.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: What I do know is after that game, Bobby Thompson
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: took the Staten Island ferry home to Staten Island.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: What a difference between now and then.
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: That's right. Now, let me ask you something. Here's my
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: take on this. It's been looked upon as one of
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: the most famous home runs in baseball. history. But was it?
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: Because 50 years after the home run, it was revealed
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: that the Giants used a high-powered telescope from center field
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: connected to a buzzer, stealing the Dodgers catcher's signs to
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: the pitchers, and then flashed to the Giants' batters. So
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: the Giants' batters knew what was coming. Okay, yes, they
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: did have to hit it, but they knew what was coming.
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: Although Thompson always denied he didn't know the pitch. But
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: here's something for you. You know, after the Giants installed
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: that system, They won 37 games and lost only seven.
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: And also keep in mind, the Giants didn't need a
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: home run to stay in the game. There was only
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: one out, not two outs. And they had runners at
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: second and third. In other words, a base hit would
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: have tied the score with Willie Mays on deck. I'm
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: thinking maybe Kirk Gibson's Two-run pinch hit, Homer, and I
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: know you guys remember that. On one leg.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Oh, sure.
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: Two outs, not one out like Thompson. I think that's
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: just or maybe more impressive.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: I think you're a doubting Thompson.
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: That's good. That's good, Curtis. That's good for you. All right,
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: the stooge of the week has to go to New
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: York Times columnist Lydia Polgreen. whose headline read, Mamdami is
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: showing the world how it's done. You've got to be kidding. Yeah,
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: if you want socialism or communism, which has never worked
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: anywhere for the people, and you want someone who has
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: anti-Semitic views and is ruining the city, then yes, you
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: want Mamdami to show the world how it's done. Come on, Lydia, man,
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: get real. And finally.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Warner, Warner, Warner, stop for one second. Didn't you know
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: that they have a special relationship, Mom Donnie and Curtis?
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: Didn't you see them holding hands over the weekend?
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: That's right. Oh, no, I missed it. I'm cutting you off, Warner.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Because that was a shot at me. That was a
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: shot below the belt. We'll hear from you same time,
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: same place next week.
