Hour 3: Hot races in Ohio and Michigan · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, of the races that are considered toss-up for Senate,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: one of the ones that has been widening a little
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: bit towards the Democrats and towards Amy Acton, who is
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: running against Vivek Ramaswamy, who you remember when he ran
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: for president. That one is starting to widen a little
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: bit in favor of the Democrats. And because of that,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: it's desperation time. Two weeks to go, it's difficult to
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: move polls that much, more than a few points, and
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: to sway voters that much in the waning days. So
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Vivek Ramaswamy has put on an ad that has been
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: nationally controversial. And the reason it's nationally controversial is because
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Amy Acton and her brother, by the way, both of them,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: have had a tenuous, I'll put it that way, relationship
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: with their mother and their stepfather, accusing them of sexual
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: misconduct and accusing them of abuse, child abuse. As a
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: matter of fact, the stepfather was charged with that. And
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: so this is the ad that Vivek Ramaswamy has put out,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: starring Amy Acton's mother.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I received a lot of abuse.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Well, that's her brother.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Hold on.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: You know, it's awful to see this. It's awful to...
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: You know, it's awful to.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: This is Amy Acton responding to it. I'm sorry, I
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: had ad up here, but let me let you hear this.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: This is Amy Acton responding to her mother saying... That
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I love her very much, but she's a liar and
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you can't believe a word she says.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: You know, it's awful to see this. It's awful to
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: see her this way. And it's even more incredible to
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: see that my opponent has taken advantage of someone who
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: is clearly not well, who is older. And this is
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: totally in line with who he is.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Well, Ramaswamy, to his point, her point, has taken complete
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: responsibility for the ad and defends it.
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: I would love for this race and this election to
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: be about the substantive issues that impact Ohioans. And unfortunately,
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: Amy Acton has been hiding from those issues.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, that had nothing to do with what the ad said.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: So that was not an explanation that went well. But
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I will tell you... That's what he was asked. He
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: was asked about the ad.
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: To be clear, this is not new. Her mother has
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: spoken out for years. And I don't know Amy Acton's mother,
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: and I've never met Amy Acton either. What I do
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: know is that Amy Acton has been repeatedly and serially
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: dishonest during this campaign.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Do you see this as a petty move of it?
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Excuse me?
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Do you see it as a petty move? On behalf
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: of her mother.
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: To speak out? Her mother chose to speak out. She
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: spoke out several years ago. That's between Amy Acton and
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: her mother.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: On behalf of the ad being put out.
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: For our part, we believe that the best way to
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: do this would be to have an open debate between
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: the two candidates.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: She has not debated, but this right now, when it
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: comes to public opinion, is not going well for Vivek Ramaswamy.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: He's being attacked nationally. Now, in my belief, I think
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: if the mother has spoken out before and the mother
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: has something to say, I think it's fair game. I'm
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: not sure what goes too far in politics these days.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: You know what I believe goes too far? When you
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: raid someone else's house, when you try to put them
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: in prison, when you try to hurt their livelihood, and
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: you use the Justice Department to do that. That, I think,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: goes too far. But the same people who are slamming
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: this ad, they had no problem when that was done
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to Donald Trump when they thought he was going to
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: run for president again.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: There's a rule of thumb, though, Larry. Leave the mother
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: out of it. You can go at the father. Now,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: the father here, stepfather, was indicted for raping her and
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: then fled to Pennsylvania. And the mother, the biological mother,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: sided with the stepfather. Now you have the brother who's
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: come out and said, exactly, man, we were homeless. 12
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: years old, you know, our mother basically decided to go
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: with the stepfather and not care for us after this
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: horrible time.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: But notice, you go to Michigan.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: And in that first debate, remember I talked about the
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Rock'em Sock'em debate, El-Said and Rogers, and Rogers talked about
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: how great his mother is, which he really is, a patriot,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: you know, working, raising the family. And then he turned
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: to El-Said and said, and your mother supported the Muslim Brotherhood.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: This time he obviously labeled El-Said a Muslim Brotherhood guy.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Never mention the mother, because I'll bet you in the
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: focus groups, That was like, oh, that might be true, Rogers,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: but don't mention the mother. Fathers, yeah, you're going to
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: beat them up. Leave the mothers alone. You know, it's
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: sort of like, remember that book, Mommy Dearest? Who was that?
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Joan Crawford, right? About Joan Crawford.
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah, sure.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: You just don't do that. And I think this is
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: going to cost him. Now, the sitting senator who replaced J.D.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Vance when he went on to become vice president, you know,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: the one who Donald Trump admires his ass. he's behind
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: in his race to Sherrod Brown. He distanced himself so
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: quick from this. He condemned this ad.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: But Vance didn't. No, Vance. Want to hear it?
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:42
  Speaker 8: And now the media and the Democrats in the state
• 5:45
  Speaker 8: of Ohio are obsessed because guess what? Vivek Ramaswamy had
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: the audacity to run a TV commercial which calls it
• 5:54
  Speaker 8: out like it is and calls Amy.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Acton a liar.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Man, he's Mr. Family Values guy. You know, I've converted
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: to the Roman Catholic faith. He chose to do this. Look,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: he's decided not to do other things for Trump, like
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: he will not endorse Bibi Netanyahu like Trump has. I
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: think this was a mistake on his part to go
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: in there and get involved in this. And then remember this,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: that other race that you first brought to our attention
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: involving the U.S. Senator Moreno, his former son-in-law, who's embattled
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: with his former wife and kids who accuse him of
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: all kinds of horrors.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: He refused to drop out. Boy, Ohio, which would have
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: been red.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I got to tell you, I'm thinking more and more,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: this has become such a drama state that it may
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: become blue.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: It may, but it's going to be, and I believe
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: it's going to be because the media, once again, is
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: putting its thumb on the scales. They're making this so
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: big and such a big issue. I mean, How many
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: times does an ad make it onto the national news?
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: This one did. This one did.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: And it's not the first time. It's nothing more. It's cringy.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: It's cringy.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: But especially when you find out that the stepfather was
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: indicted for raping her and then fled prosecution in Pennsylvania
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: and the mother decided to go with the stepfather.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: But.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you about Al-Said. I shared this with
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Natalie and obviously with Larry. You talk about a guy
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: who's going to places that no Muslim would ever go before.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: The Upper Peninsula in Michigan, that is MAGA country. That
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: is Trump land. That's hunters.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, come on.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: You're giving him credit for that?
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: He has to.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but let me explain to you how he's done it.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: He hasn't gone up there as Al-Said the Muslim. He's
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: dancing to country-western tunes. He's got the belt buckle on.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: You would think he was in Fort Worth, you know,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: the stockyards, those mile-long bars.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: And then he's got an American red, white, and blue
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: cowboy hat on.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: And see, I thought that ad was more embarrassing than
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the mother. Coming out because he was so obviously trying
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to patronize these people. I mean, I'd be insulted. He
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: was doing a line dance, holding his buckle, and the
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: hat he had is a cowboy hat. Not just a
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: cowboy hat. It's a cowboy hat that was an American flag.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: And he's dancing and it's country music playing.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Come on. He was singing to your favorite song, 9
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: to 5, Dolly Parton. Yes, he was. With Dolly Parton
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: in the back. Then he goes south. He does Eminem things.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: He's doing rap, you know, like he's a DJ. And
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: then he's in the gym, because unlike Zoran Mondami, who
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: couldn't lift his body weight, this guy's a lifter.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: So you see him with these muscle guys, you know,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: white and black. Yeah, 285 at both turns. And he's buffed.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: He is trying to pull out every available vote. Rodgers
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: is taking it right down the middle. He goes, my
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: family is all patriotic. Everyone in my family has served,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: including his wife.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know. Who served in Iraq. So that's what
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: the choice is going to come down to.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: He's real. I think Rodgers is going to win this
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: actually easily. I think it's going to be a few
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: points because everything you hear coming out of Michigan is
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: bad about El-Sayed. And I'm not sure Michigan's are going
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: to fall for him having an American flag on a
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: cowboy hat.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Well, let me give you the demographics. The key vote
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: is the African-American vote. Total, that's 12% of the overall vote.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: And most of it is down in Detroit, Wayne County. Pontiac, Saginaw, Flint.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I've been to all those places. And they control the
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Democratic machine, the African Americans. They don't like the fact
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: that Muslims, who are 2% of the vote, are growing
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: in strength and beginning to become real leaders in the
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Democratic Party. They don't like that because the African Americans
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: run the Democratic Party south in Michigan.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: So we'll see. But the polls show that he's doing
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: poorly among Democrats, among black Democrats.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but, you know, Barack Obama comes in on the weekend.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: And notice, Trump is going north to the Upper Peninsula
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: on the same day. day that Barack Obama will be
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: in Detroit to try to get out the black vote.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: The Jewish vote is about 1.5%.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: It's split. They're always split on these issues, and it's 2%
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: of the Muslim vote.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Always split. In the past, they have voted 85% in Michigan.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: It's down to 50% and 60%. They lost a lot.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: He's lost a lot of Jewish votes.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: It's only 1.5%. Always split.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: You're going to have, just like with Zoran Mandami, he
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: got 30% of the Jewish vote.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not arguing the percentage on that. I'm arguing the
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: fact that they're split. No, they're leaving El-Sayed, that's for sure.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: When we come back, well, why don't you talk about
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: this one and the New York Yankees?
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: This is a disgrace. Ufa to Hal Steinbrenner.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I don't believe, I want a DNA test to see
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: if he truly is the son of George Steinbrenner Sr.,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: who fired so many managers, fired so many general managers.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Sometimes it was like a rotating series of Billy Martins
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: coming and going, coming and going. This guy yesterday doubled
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: down in support of Cashman, who's been there 30 years
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: as the GM, and 10 years Aaron Boone. He signed
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: them up for another year. And he dissed all the players.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: You're going to hear him on his own because he
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: rarely gives interviews. He went out of his way to
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: diss all these New York Yankees, second highest payroll in
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: all of baseball, instead of the guy who put it together, Cashman,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: and Aaron Boone, the manager who doesn't know how to
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: manage his talent because it's all analytics up next. I
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: was so mad yesterday.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: So Hal Steinbrenner.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: who is the owner-operator of the New York Yankees now,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: left to him by his daddy, George, who would cycle
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: through managers and general managers, especially Billy Martin, I think
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: like seven different times. It took very little for George
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Steinbrenner to suddenly say out and then bring him back.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: And he won championships. He won at the Bronx Zoo,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: they called it, you know, where Reggie Jackson was fighting
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: with Nettles and Thurman Munson. They were always battling, but
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: they won championships. And that's why the fans, for everything
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: that they hated Steinbrenner for from time to time, just
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: loved the fact he was volatile and he was constantly,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: you know, promoting, we're going to win a championship.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: His son.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: That's why I want a DNA test. I really don't
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: think he's the son. It doesn't strike me as plausible
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: because after a few disastrous seasons with an all-star lineup
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: in which Steinbrenner and his confab are paying second highest
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: payroll in baseball, maybe a little bit behind Steve Cohen
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: of the Mets and actually the Dodgers first. was so
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: effusive in praise of Cashman, his GM, who's been there
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: 30 years. You'd think there should be term limits, 30 years.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: And then, obviously, Aaron Boone, who's this analytical guy, a
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: California guy, never. There's no emotion. You know, there's nothing
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: to get your juices stirred. And he signed them up
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: for another year, and he praised them effusively. They're the best,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: not like the rest. And then he decided to attack
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: the Yankee lineup.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Itself, the 25 guys.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Whether they started at the start of the year or
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: made it into the playoffs and got sunk by the
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Tampa Bay Rays that I predicted would win because they
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: play fundamental baseball. The Yankees don't. They play home run baseball.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Listen to what Hal Steinbrenner said about all the Yankees
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: who played for him, completely dissed them. I mean, absolutely
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: unbelievable to the point where Well, I don't go to
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: the new Yankee Stadium any longer. I never liked the
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: new Yankee Stadium. It's the house of Jeter as opposed
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: to the house of Babe Ruth, the old stadium that
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: I really liked. But listen to what he said on
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: his own conference call yesterday to all the reporters and
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: really to Yankee fans everywhere.
• 14:00
  Speaker 9: Yes, we failed at the goal this year, but that
• 14:03
  Speaker 9: is always our goal, which is why we put so
• 14:05
  Speaker 9: much effort and resources into into the roster every offseason
• 14:10
  Speaker 9: to field a team that can accomplish that. I thought
• 14:13
  Speaker 9: Boone managed a good season. The bottom line is the
• 14:15
  Speaker 9: players didn't live up to their end of the bargain
• 14:19
  Speaker 9: in the playoffs.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: He blamed the players.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Aaron Boone cannot deliver a championship. He never will. I
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: thought he should have been more measured. Look, it's his team.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: He can hire whoever he wants.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Keep him on.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: If you're a Yankee fan, nobody wants Cashman and Boone
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: to stay on, but that's his choice. But then basically
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: to diss the Yankees, and for the first time Aaron Judge,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: who really wanted to be on the roster, but I
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: felt he can't have him on the roster, he can't play,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: said you should not. re-sign Chisholm at second, that hot dog,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: who's got a lot of talent, but you should go
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: with Volpe.
• 14:57
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Let's go back to what he said, because that's sports
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: management 101. He may feel that way. He can feel
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: that way all he wants. You never blame anyone but yourself.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: That's what brings love to you. When you say, I
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: could have done better. I messed this up. That's what
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: great coaches do. You heard, they never blame their players.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: They say, you know what, I didn't coach them well enough.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I didn't do this. I can't believe, I don't think
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: I've ever heard somebody saying that. That is in any
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: management over the last decade in the country.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Is it possible we can find some DNA of how,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: on a couple of some way, Yankee Stadium, send it
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: to the Church of the Latter-day Saints, you know, they
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: do the DNA checks, and see if he really is
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: the son of George Steinbrenner.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: There couldn't be any two extremes.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was bad. Let's get some talkbacks. We're still
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: getting talkbacks about road rage.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: How to eliminate road rage. It's very simple. Keep your
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: eyes out the front window. Don't look out the right window.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Don't look out the left window. Only for mirrors. If
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: you look out the front window and ignore everything, whether
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: you're right or wrong when you made the mistake on
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: the road, just look out the front window and road
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: rage disappears.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Been working for me for five years.
• 16:17
  Speaker 10: That is tremendous advice no eye contact you mentioned that earlier.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Yep that's it that's they tell you but everybody wants
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: to go like.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: This yeah what are you doing that's nancy nancy she'll

  Speaker 1: pennsylvania now these these people are all carrying guns how
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: about a dad joke.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: I've never seen a happy horse.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: They all have a long face. Ah, bad. That's an
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: old one.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: That is so true. That is so true, especially if
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: they're getting whipped to the finish line at the racetrack.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: By the way, that's the next thing I'm tackling, and
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: that horse racing.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Let me get one more in, because this is for Natalie,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: and this is about her New York accent.
• 17:06
  Speaker 11: Is it just me?
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Since Curtis came out to WOR.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: I swear, Natalie Migliore's New York accent has gotten so thick.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Absolutely the truth. Absolutely.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: I think mine has, too. Really?
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's infectious.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Just like I caught the horse disease you claim from
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: drinking from the trough in Central Park that the horse carriage,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: the horses do. But it's 8.30, so let's get the
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: news from Darian.
• 17:33
  Speaker 10: Martin Curtis, sunny and breezy today. We'll see a high
• 17:35
  Speaker 10: of 65 degrees. He was a retired NYPD officer who
• 17:40
  Speaker 10: is now charged with murder. In the deadly drive-by shooting
• 17:44
  Speaker 10: on the GWB, police believe Victor Rowan was motivated by
• 17:47
  Speaker 10: road rage in the incident that left Coron Irvine dead.
• 17:51
  Speaker 10: Both men are from the Hudson Valley. Mayor Mamdani has
• 17:54
  Speaker 10: released some new 9-11 health documents.
• 17:56
  Speaker 11: An additional 40,000 previously unreleased documents have just been added
• 18:00
  Speaker 11: to the new 9-11 portal. Mayor Mamdani says the documents
• 18:04
  Speaker 11: show what city leaders knew about air quality and other
• 18:06
  Speaker 11: health impacts shortly after the 9-11 terror attacks. There are
• 18:10
  Speaker 11: now more than 200,000 documents in that portal. Family members
• 18:13
  Speaker 11: who lost loved ones to 9-11-related illnesses have been fighting
• 18:16
  Speaker 11: for the release of the documents for years. I'm Scott Pringle,
• 18:20
  Speaker 11: WOR News.
• 18:20
  Speaker 10: City Council votes today on a bill that would phase
• 18:22
  Speaker 10: out the horse carriage industry here in the city. The
• 18:25
  Speaker 10: union representing drivers say they will fight it if it's passed.
• 18:28
  Speaker 10: A polling firm has been caught using made-up numbers ahead
• 18:31
  Speaker 10: of the midterms. Wedgwood Polling was questioned about its methodology
• 18:35
  Speaker 10: after it gave sizable leads to Democrats in several states. Well,
• 18:38
  Speaker 10: the firm now says Yeah, it made the numbers up.
• 18:42
  Speaker 10: But it claims it was an experiment to see how
• 18:43
  Speaker 10: many news outlets would use them. And consider this a reminder,
• 18:47
  Speaker 10: if you do something wrong, there is a very good
• 18:49
  Speaker 10: chance that it will be caught on camera. Like this
• 18:51
  Speaker 10: creep in New Jersey who abandoned a puppy.
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: Officials in Montclair are hoping someone can help them ID
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: the now former dog owner. Video taken last Tuesday outside
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: a liquor store on Orange Road. Man ties his six-month-old
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: pit bull to a garbage can and goes inside. comes out,
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: walks past the dog while talking on the phone, and
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: never comes back. The pup is fine, no signs of
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: abuse at a shelter. The man was wearing a hoodie
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: with pink lettering and pink shoelaces. Andrew Whitman, WOR News.

  Speaker 10: The Nets lost to Chicago. The Devils, Islanders, and Rangers
• 19:26
  Speaker 10: all skate tonight. Next news, 9 o'clock bulletins at once.
• 19:29
  Speaker 10: I'm Daria Albinger on 710 WOR.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Daria, and congratulations to John Veneno from Little Silver,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: New Jersey. You just won a pair of tickets to
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: see Journey, November 7th at Nassau Coliseum. Tickets on sale
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: now at Ticketmaster.com. Another chance to win tomorrow at 825. Well,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: when we come back, big news. There have been lots
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: of talks about a peace plan between Ukraine and Russia,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: and they've all fallen through. This one is different. We'll
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: explain why coming up next. It's now coming up on
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: four years in February. It will be four years. since
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Russia invaded Ukraine. And everybody thought Russia was just going
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: to overpower them. And Ukraine, with help from the United States,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: has been able to hold them at bay and, in fact,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: attack with inside Russia and do some real damage. And
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: they've actually fought them back in some of the regions
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: and took back control, which is why it's really surprising
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: that This made news yesterday with Brian Kilmeade on Fox
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and Friends doing the interview, asking Volodymyr Zelensky if he
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: was willing to get a peace deal if they froze
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: things the way they were right now. For instance, the
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Russians have been able to take, well, about 45,000 square
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: miles of Ukraine, which is about 20% of the country.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: And his question is, if we froze it right now,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: if you let Russia have that area right now, would
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: you agree to a peace deal? In the past, he said, no, no, no.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Listen to what he said just yesterday.
• 21:21
  Speaker 12: Would you accept a peace deal that freezes everything the
• 21:24
  Speaker 12: way it is right now, where you still keep 75%
• 21:28
  Speaker 12: or more of your country, regardless of how it started?
• 21:31
  Speaker 12: Would you accept where it is right now?
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Right now, we have to freeze, and I think this
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: is a real way to end this war.
• 21:42
  Speaker 9: We call it ceasefire, or stop killing, like President Trump
• 21:46
  Speaker 9: called it.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: Freeze and stop.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: And of course, this is minimum what we need from
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: Russia today.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Now, this is a huge change in any negotiations, because
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: in the past, he has said no, no, no, no, no. Now,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: here's the only problem, the thing that could Screw this
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: whole thing up. Donetsk, which is the area that the
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Russians used to have, an area that they really want
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: because they basically want ports into the Mediterranean, and they
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: don't have that right now. They don't have any southern ports.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: They would love that land that Ukraine has that has
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: ports and goes along the Mediterranean, goes along the access
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: to the Mediterranean. And so a lot of that has
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: been taken back. So Russia still has to agree to this.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: But Russia and Donald Trump, Putin and Donald Trump, have
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: been getting along pretty well recently.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Pretty happy with Russia that they have not gotten involved
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: with Iran.
• 22:46
  Speaker 12: We've taken Iran down to levels that they've never seen before.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: They're very low. Their military is completely gone.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's him saying that he's really shocked and he's
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: happy that Russia has stayed out of the war with Iran.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: He said the same thing about Xi, but Xi is
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: not hasn't completely stayed out. He's been funding them and
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: giving them some arms, but he threw Xi in there anyway.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: So it looks like, at least on its face, that
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: this is a big positive move forward. We still have
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: to have the negotiations. He's going to talk with Xi.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: When he meets with him, he's going to talk with Putin.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: He may be involved either directly or on the phone.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: So I'm sure that's going to come up again. But
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: especially in recent time, it didn't seem like there was
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: any end in sight. This at least is a glimmer
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: of hope.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Well, now that Putin, surprise, surprise, is humanitarian of the year,
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: this thug, this treacherous killer who should never have invaded
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: the Ukraine, our delegate to him praised him.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: To no end. But I'll tell you. Wait a second.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: You can't just leave it at that. Why not? He
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: also got a prisoner released.
• 24:02
  Speaker 13: Oh, wow.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: That makes him a humanitarian? No, it makes him a
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: good diplomat. Of course he's going to say that. Here's
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: what J.D. Vance had to say. Here's his answer to you.
• 24:11
  Speaker 13: I agree with Steve Witkoff saying something nice to a
• 24:14
  Speaker 13: person who just released an American hostage. Whether you agree
• 24:17
  Speaker 13: with the underlying sentiment or not, Steve Witkoff is a diplomat.
• 24:20
  Speaker 13: His job is to go over there and get a
• 24:22
  Speaker 13: job done. I care much less about what Steve said
• 24:25
  Speaker 13: and about the fact that he is bringing an American
• 24:26
  Speaker 13: hostage home to his family. We should all be celebrating that,
• 24:30
  Speaker 13: not be complaining about what Steve Witkoff said in order
• 24:32
  Speaker 13: to get it done.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: You better tell a lot of Republicans because they are
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: complaining about that.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Well, the ones that are running for office right now
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: and want to distance themselves from Trump because they feel
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: like it's going to help them in their district. Stephen Hubbard...
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: was released. He's a 74-year-old American teacher who has been
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: detained since 2022. I'll tell you who doesn't care at
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: all if he called him a humanitarian. It's Stephen Hubbard's
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: family because they came out and said that. Somebody asked him.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: One of the reporters said, what do you think about
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: him calling, Witkoff calling Putin a humanitarian? He said, whatever
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: it took, whatever it takes to get him released.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: But this is the real behind-the-scenes reason that Zelensky would
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: be capitulating. He's looking at his core of support now,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: which is not the United States.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: It's Europe.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Macron in France and the government there is being urged
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: to spend more money at home. We see the riots.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Germany is going right wing. They support Russia, the right wingers.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: They do not support the Ukraine. We see in the
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: streets of Italy also that it supported the Ukraine. People
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: are saying you need to spend more money domestically. So
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: I think he sees the handwriting on the wall. that
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: all these governments, if they expect to stay in power,
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: are going to have to do a pirouette on him.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: And better to settle now until soon the hundreds of
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: millions of euros that have been pouring into his coffers,
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: some of which never sees the light of day, they're
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: so corrupt there, might as well settle and get out
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: of this now because Europe will soon have no choice.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: They're not going to be able to support him in
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: the same manner that they have been.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, Donald Trump is going to do
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: everything he can now that Zelensky has said that to
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: get this done before the midterms. If he can get
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia before the midterms.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure how many votes it'll get, but it's
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: going to turn some.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: Nobody cares for the midterms. Come on.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: No, I think he'll be all over the news. Iran,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: that's what they're interested in. Peace against Iran. And he said,
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: I'm going to bomb them back to the Stone Age
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: after the midterms. That's according to people who want them
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: to lose, but I want them to win. Well, up next,
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: I come to Connecticut support. We're going to do a
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: full segment tomorrow. They have been ousted from the top
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: pizza ratings in the country. Rated ahead of them, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, Wisconsin, Ohio, Utah.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: Little Italy. Right there in New Haven, some of the
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: best pizza in the world. We'll go whole hog tomorrow
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: into that. Whole hog. What was that? Gobble Gold. It
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: was National Gobble Gold Day.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: And then, of course, today when I go for the
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: historic vote, if they let me into city council, to
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: end the horse carriage barbaric industry and show up at
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: the rally before that, I wonder if they'll even let
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: me into that. You know, it's almost like they've forgotten
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: who Curtis Sliwa is on purpose up next. Today, history
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: will be made, Larry and Natalie. A vote will be
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: taken to end the horse carriage barbaric industry, and the
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: votes are already in. The Speaker of the City Council,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Julie Mennon, would never call for a vote unless she
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: had the votes. But, in advance of the debate and votes,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: which will take place after 1 o'clock in City Council Chambers,
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: there's a big rally in City Hall Park.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Now, you would think, Larry, because you and Natalie have.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Interviewed me when I ran for mayor 2021, 2025. I
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: always made that a premier issue, sometimes to my detriment.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Not a mention, 51 deadbeats and slackers in the city council,
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: not an invitation to come and be up there in
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: the peanut.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: Gallery just to see the historic vote.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: No.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: And no invitation to come to the public rally outside
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: city hall park, which obviously I and Nancy are going
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: to go because we were involved in this back in 2020,
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: right at the close of the.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: Lockdown and the pandemic.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: And, you know, and Natalie's going to post that again
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: when I gave public testimony at the hearing in which
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Lynn Schumer, who was the council person in charge of
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: the hearing, ordered the sergeant of arms to pull the
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: microphone from me. And the crowd went crazy applauding and
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: she threatened to have them thrown out and arrested.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: Natalie, please post that again.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: So people can see how these elected officials are doing
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: everything they can to not even mention me and give
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: me any credit.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: And that's okay. This is all about the horses. Free
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: the horses. Finally.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: But man, can you imagine how petty these politicians get?
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: And that's why I tell you, Larry, and you heard me,
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: I don't trust any politicians. Zoran Mandami was late coming
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: on board, as was Cuomo and Adams at the end
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: of the campaign.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: Good, they came on board.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: But they saw the popular public opinion polls had changed dramatically.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Julie Menon had been a city council person. She was
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: never pro the horses. She was pro the horse carriage riders.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: you know, but she didn't have the jutes to prevent
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: a vote. That was Adrian Adams who's running as lieutenant governor.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: So you would think, forget Curtis Sliwa. That effort all
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: started here. Nobody ever pays tribute to Barry Gray, who
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: invented talk radio, who had two issues when you listen
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: to him in mid-mornings. Second Amendment, he believed you got
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: to carry a weapon and end the barbaric horse carriage industry.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: This is the late 60s and 70s.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: What's important, though, right? The important thing is it's happening.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: And it's happening today. Now, when you go out there
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: and go to the rally and then also try to
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: get in, are you going to make a ruckus?
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: You're damn right I am, Larry. When do I not
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: make a ruckus? And by the way. Curtis, you don't
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: say that before.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: I let him know.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: I asked.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: Look, you notice I'm suited down.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: Secondarily, no bags going in because, you know, they know, oh,
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: we can't let. I will not permit them to use
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: any of those things. Notice 51 city council people, some
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: that I helped get elected.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: Not one invitation.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: So if they try to keep you out, will the
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: ruckus begin right then? Yeah, you'll see me in central booking,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: but don't worry about it. There's no cash bail, you know.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: You'll be here tomorrow. That's right. That's right. Anyway, tomorrow,
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: tickets to see Journey at 825.
• 31:04
