Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Wow.
- 0:00Speaker 2: Talk about a marathon performance by 710WOR from beginning to
- 0:07Speaker 2: just about, I guess, 12 noon. Larry at the helm
- 0:11Speaker 2: with Natalie producing. Natalie Migliore apparently became another star in
- 0:17Speaker 2: the midst of that marathon. Ken was out there along
- 0:21Speaker 2: the way. I mean, you had the full roster out there.
- 0:23Speaker 2: And what a magnificent day. Larry, I have to salute you.
- 0:28Speaker 2: I have to salute everyone at 710 WR. And as
- 0:31Speaker 2: so many people have said, the gargantuan job done once
- 0:35Speaker 2: again by our producer, Natalie. uh man it couldn't have
- 0:39Speaker 2: happened on a better marathon I mean finally a breakthrough
- 0:44Speaker 2: it wasn't all Kenyans one two and three men's competition
- 0:48Speaker 2: female competition it was actually diversity.
- 0:51Speaker 3: Yeah I think Kenya only took a third place in
- 0:55Speaker 3: the two major races so it was incredible but I'm
- 0:58Speaker 3: glad you you mentioned Natalie because Natalie you know I
- 1:02Speaker 3: show up that day. I do a few of the interviews,
- 1:05Speaker 3: but Natalie sets everything up. You come, and there's a
- 1:11Speaker 3: book there, and the book has everything and everything you're
- 1:14Speaker 3: supposed to do. But just so I don't mess up,
- 1:17Speaker 3: she sits right.
- 1:18Speaker 4: Next to me. Oh, it was awesome.
- 1:23Speaker 5: We also have to thank Tim McLoone and Aisha Pratt-Lear,
- 1:26Speaker 5: who sat with you.
- 1:28Speaker 6: Aisha was tremendous.
- 1:31Speaker 4: Tim's always great, but Aisha was tremendous.
- 1:33Speaker 5: They both added race commentary and expertise that.
- 1:37Speaker 4: I don't have in the running world.
- 1:40Speaker 3: Aisha's an Olympian, and she was with us, and she
- 1:43Speaker 3: ran for Jamaica. She has dual citizenship. And Jamaica has
- 1:46Speaker 3: a great track program, as you know.
- 1:49Speaker 4: No doubt.
- 1:49Speaker 5: And Garrett Vogel over at Z100, he was at the
- 1:52Speaker 5: start line for us. And just for people who are listening,
- 1:56Speaker 5: one of his reports was talking about Scotty B over
- 1:58Speaker 5: at Z100, his very first marathon. Just started running not
- 2:02Speaker 5: that long ago.
- 2:04Speaker 6: He's here today with his medal on. And he looks great.
- 2:09Speaker 4: Wow.
- 2:10Speaker 3: Now his, his wife, his fiance, his fiance is a runner,
- 2:17Speaker 3: a real runner, can do it in just a few hours.
- 2:21Speaker 3: And he's not, this is his first marathon. So she
- 2:24Speaker 3: slowed down to run with him.
- 2:25Speaker 4: Wow.
- 2:26Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:26Speaker 5: And they passed together through the finish line with their
- 2:29Speaker 5: hands held up in the air.
- 2:31Speaker 6: It was wonderful, but that's what that, the marathon's about.
- 2:34Speaker 6: It's full of these incredible stories.
- 2:37Speaker 5: Of people who are doing something absolutely incredible and something
- 2:41Speaker 5: your body is actually not made to do.
- 2:43Speaker 4: You know, I just thought of something.
- 2:45Speaker 3: Did she run with him to support him or to
- 2:48Speaker 3: make sure he really ran.
- 2:49Speaker 4: The whole thing? Maybe.
- 2:51Speaker 5: It's like, I'm going to make sure you get through this.
- 2:54Speaker 6: Either way, it's a good partner.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Well, my concern was with 16,000 contestants, and I certainly
- 3:01Speaker 2: saw them as they were flooding down 72nd to hit
- 3:05Speaker 2: the subway stations. Or to stop off, get something to
- 3:08Speaker 2: eat with their families. You know, they all had that orange.
- 3:11Speaker 4: Oh, 60,000, yeah.
- 3:12Speaker 2: 60,000, excuse me, excuse me.
- 3:15Speaker 4: That's a lot of people. 60,000, I saw them everywhere.
- 3:18Speaker 2: And I thought to myself, you know, with the problems
- 3:21Speaker 2: we've had with these e-bike bandits, you know, who roll
- 3:24Speaker 2: up on you and snatch anything of value. Man, those
- 3:28Speaker 2: big gold medallions. We're not going to know right away,
- 3:33Speaker 2: but I'm going to do a deep dive in a
- 3:35Speaker 2: few days and see if any were reported stolen.
- 3:38Speaker 6: Oh, that would be terrible.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Yeah, but remember, they're wearing them proudly, as they should,
- 3:43Speaker 2: with family and friends. Some of them were hobbling. You
- 3:46Speaker 2: could tell it really took its toll. There was one
- 3:49Speaker 2: young lady from Baskin Ridge, New Jersey. who was like
- 3:53Speaker 2: laid out on the side. I thought she was a
- 3:55Speaker 2: homeless person at first. She just, she couldn't move. You know,
- 3:58Speaker 2: she had the cramps and everything. And so I assisted
- 4:01Speaker 2: her with other people, but she was on the young side.
- 4:04Speaker 2: But you can see the euphoria of all these people.
- 4:07Speaker 3: Can you imagine when you train all this time for
- 4:10Speaker 3: this one moment? First of all, you get to qualify
- 4:13Speaker 3: and then you run.
- 4:14Speaker 4: No, no.
- 4:14Speaker 3: The thing about the marathon is that it's 60,000 stories.
- 4:18Speaker 3: It's not just the people that we're going to talk
- 4:20Speaker 3: about this morning. It's all of these people. This is
- 4:23Speaker 3: their personal best. This is what they train for. And
- 4:26Speaker 3: then there is, as you mentioned, that was a great word.
- 4:30Speaker 3: It is euphoric. It's euphoric when they finish. It's euphoric
- 4:34Speaker 3: when they're done because they accomplish something. So they're the stories.
- 4:38Speaker 3: I believe they're the stories in this marathon. You know,
- 4:42Speaker 3: we're going to talk about the top runners today. But man,
- 4:44Speaker 3: the people from around the world, this is their goal
- 4:47Speaker 3: to come here and do this.
- 4:49Speaker 5: And we did a story in our team Inspire last
- 4:51Speaker 5: week of a young man, 19 years old with Down syndrome.
- 4:55Speaker 5: And he was the first, he's the youngest person to
- 4:58Speaker 5: complete the marathon. And I saw him cross the finish
- 5:00Speaker 5: line yesterday and it was incredible.
- 5:03Speaker 4: Oh, you hung out afterwards, right? And watch some of it?
- 5:05Speaker 5: Oh, a little bit, but this, I saw this online,
- 5:07Speaker 5: so I didn't get to see him personally, but yeah.
- 5:11Speaker 6: So, you know, so many good stories.
- 5:12Speaker 2: When you mentioned the competitors, as much as I was
- 5:16Speaker 2: interested in track, you know, for the Olympics and the marathons,
- 5:20Speaker 2: I sort of lost interest when you almost could predict
- 5:23Speaker 2: who's going to win the marathon in New York, then Boston, London, Tokyo,
- 5:28Speaker 2: you know, Kenya, one, two, three. It's like, Sort of
- 5:31Speaker 2: watching the World Series with the Yankees and Dodgers, you know, okay,
- 5:35Speaker 2: all right.
- 5:36Speaker 4: They had a lock on it.
- 5:37Speaker 2: But what was fascinating to me this year is this
- 5:41Speaker 2: Swedish guy.
- 5:42Speaker 4: Oh, he was the story.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Who ran his first marathon two hours, six minutes, one second.
- 5:48Speaker 2: White guy, as white as you can.
- 5:50Speaker 4: Get, right?
- 5:50Speaker 2: Not training in the mountains of Africa, right? And he
- 5:55Speaker 2: beats the best marathoners, period.
- 5:59Speaker 3: It wasn't as much of a surprise as you're making
- 6:02Speaker 3: it out to be because a lot of the runners
- 6:05Speaker 3: and a lot of people in the running community were
- 6:07Speaker 3: talking about him. He was the big buzz coming into this.
- 6:10Speaker 3: What's he going to do? Because word got out about
- 6:13Speaker 3: his training sessions. And his training sessions, he was running
- 6:17Speaker 3: like 120 miles a week. he was already a runner
- 6:22Speaker 3: he was already a runner that ran long distance he
- 6:24Speaker 3: just never ran a marathon before So there was a
- 6:28Speaker 3: lot of people, including Aisha, who was saying, watch this.
- 6:32Speaker 3: This is the story of the day. Watch him because
- 6:36Speaker 3: he could win this. The way, the times that he's
- 6:39Speaker 3: been putting in, he could actually win this. But it's still,
- 6:42Speaker 3: he had to do it.
- 6:43Speaker 6: It was still fun to watch.
- 6:44Speaker 2: Yeah, but then I saw a group of Italianos, you know,
- 6:48Speaker 2: coming down with the Italian flag. And they were talking
- 6:51Speaker 2: to me and say, oh, yeah, a guy, he missed
- 6:53Speaker 2: out second place. I said, what are you talking about? Yeah,
- 6:56Speaker 2: the runner from Italy finished second. What was it, Kripa
- 6:59Speaker 2: or something like that? I said, I think they're making
- 7:02Speaker 2: it up. A Swedish first, an Italian is second.
- 7:05Speaker 4: I said, who finished third? They said, oh, the Kenyan. Man,
- 7:09Speaker 4: what happened there? What happened?
- 7:12Speaker 3: I don't know, but I'll tell you what. Andrea Omgren,
- 7:14Speaker 3: he finished way ahead of everybody else. I mean, for
- 7:18Speaker 3: a marathon, he finished way ahead of everybody else. He finished.
- 7:22Speaker 3: He looked like he could run another marathon. You know
- 7:25Speaker 3: how most of them come across in this collapse?
- 7:28Speaker 4: Not him. Not him. He was waving to the crowd,
- 7:32Speaker 4: getting them to clap more.
- 7:33Speaker 6: His hair still looked good.
- 7:34Speaker 7: Everything.
- 7:35Speaker 4: Everybody's going to change. That's what you're noticing, right?
- 7:40Speaker 3: Yes.
- 7:40Speaker 4: He's a good-looking guy. This is good, though, for the sport. Oh, yeah.
- 7:44Speaker 2: Because it says you don't just have to train in
- 7:47Speaker 2: the mountains of Kenya to be a superior marathoner.
- 7:50Speaker 4: You can win from anywhere in the world.
- 7:52Speaker 3: Well, Sweden's got their mountains, too. But I'll tell you what.
- 7:56Speaker 3: Everybody wants to copy what he did. Everybody's trying to
- 7:58Speaker 3: figure out exactly what he did. You know, when somebody's
- 8:01Speaker 3: that successful right out of the box— Everybody's going, oh,
- 8:04Speaker 3: there must be some magic trick.
- 8:05Speaker 5: Yeah, they want to figure out his training routine and
- 8:08Speaker 5: how they can replicate it.
- 8:09Speaker 2: And, you know, patriotism. We like to see Americans, you know,
- 8:13Speaker 2: if not win, place or show. And then in the
- 8:16Speaker 2: female division, Jessica McClain.
- 8:19Speaker 4: Did she finish second in the Olympics?
- 8:38Speaker 3: Shaquiri won two years ago. So they were the two
- 8:40Speaker 3: and they were neck and neck and neck and neck.
- 8:42Speaker 3: And then Shaquiri pulled away. And all of a sudden
- 8:47Speaker 3: you saw Jess McClain, like she wasn't near them. She
- 8:51Speaker 3: was like way back from those two. All of a
- 8:54Speaker 3: sudden she went by O'Berry. O'Berry just died. And she
- 8:57Speaker 3: went by and came in second. This is great for
- 8:59Speaker 3: the sport. Absolutely great for the sport. It's at least
- 9:02Speaker 3: revived my interest. But my interest, you have to understand,
- 9:05Speaker 3: was focused on the biggest Halloween parade in the world now.
- 9:10Speaker 2: Started very small in Greenwich Village. And now it's, I mean,
- 9:14Speaker 2: it doesn't end until 12 midnight. It starts at 6.
- 9:17Speaker 2: 12 midnight. Six hours of people parading up 6th Avenue
- 9:21Speaker 2: all the way past 14th Street. That's a long hike.
- 9:25Speaker 2: And they have costumes. They have routines.
- 9:27Speaker 4: They have music.
- 9:29Speaker 2: And they have people who dress up as me as
- 9:32Speaker 2: a guardian angel. And, boy, it was some trouble in
- 9:35Speaker 2: the Sliwa household. Let me tell you something.
- 9:38Speaker 6: Because of the sexy Sliwas I was seeing?
- 9:40Speaker 4: Oh, my God. I have no idea who these three
- 9:43Speaker 4: women are.
- 9:45Speaker 2: But they did a routine that obviously got a lot
- 9:49Speaker 2: of clicks. And I got the silent treatment all Sunday
- 9:52Speaker 2: as if I was somehow responsible for this.
- 9:55Speaker 4: Did you watch it? It's on my feed. How could
- 9:58Speaker 4: I not watch it?
- 10:00Speaker 2: I watched it a few times. It was really well done.
- 10:04Speaker 2: But there were a lot of people out there, you know,
- 10:06Speaker 2: if nothing more, wearing the red beret. Some of them
- 10:08Speaker 2: had added to the costumes, red sateen jacket. Boy, these
- 10:12Speaker 2: people put a lot of time and energy into it.
- 10:15Speaker 4: Hey, look, imagine.
- 10:16Speaker 2: It's a year after the mayoral election and people are
- 10:19Speaker 2: still wanting to dress up like Curtis Sliwa.
- 10:21Speaker 4: How did you feel watching the sexy Sliwas? Were you aroused?
- 10:25Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell you're talking about. I
- 10:29Speaker 2: don't know what you're talking about.
- 10:31Speaker 4: Because I mean all the things you love right there. Oh, man.
- 10:36Speaker 2: Well, you know, you put pretty girls in any kind
- 10:39Speaker 2: of a video and they instantly get clicks. So whoever
- 10:44Speaker 2: these three gals are, man, it's well, it was a.
- 10:49Speaker 4: What do they say? Imitation is the greatest form of flattery?
- 10:52Speaker 2: Yes.
- 10:52Speaker 6: Maybe I should try to find them and get one
- 10:54Speaker 6: of them on the air.
- 10:55Speaker 4: No, no. It's quite all right.
- 10:56Speaker 6: Let's find out there, you know.
- 10:59Speaker 4: That's a great idea.
- 11:01Speaker 1: Put it this way.
- 11:01Speaker 4: That's a wonderful idea. We started the weekend, right? Friday.
- 11:05Speaker 2: The crew at Z100 were all dressed up as guardian angels,
- 11:08Speaker 2: led by Elvis, my enemy.
- 11:09Speaker 4: I know. That was amazing. So naturally, Nancy was euphoric.
- 11:13Speaker 4: That's her favorite. She grew up listening to Z100. And
- 11:17Speaker 4: then it ended with.
- 11:18Speaker 2: silent treatment that I got because of these three guardian angelettes, I.
- 11:23Speaker 4: Could guess you. But you can't blame you for that. Well. Oh,
- 11:27Speaker 4: there's something else? No, what a bet.
- 11:30Speaker 1: Oh.
- 11:30Speaker 4: I mean, think about, like, you didn't know about this, Curtis?
- 11:35Speaker 4: You know, really? You had no idea? It came up
- 11:38Speaker 4: on my feed. Yeah, sure. And then I got the
- 11:41Speaker 4: cold shoulder the rest of the day.
- 11:44Speaker 3: We'd love to hear what you have to say about
- 11:46Speaker 3: his and Conundrum and anything else that we talk about today.
- 11:49Speaker 3: Go to the iHeartRadio app and leave us a talk back.
- 11:52Speaker 3: You could win a Curtis Sliwa. and Larry Menti in
- 11:55Speaker 3: the morning t-shirt, which is going to be awarded every
- 11:57Speaker 3: day to our favorite talk back of the morning. And
- 11:59Speaker 3: while you're on the free iHeartRadio app, be sure to
- 12:02Speaker 3: set a preset for 710WOR. And don't forget, the best
- 12:07Speaker 3: talk back of the week takes home a C-Crane radio.
- 12:10Speaker 4: C-Crane radios for those who want the best.
- 12:15Speaker 3: Well, the New York City Barn Owls have returned, but
- 12:20Speaker 3: there's a couple of them missing, plus a chance to
- 12:23Speaker 3: see Def Leppard and the Goo Goo Dolls at 825.
- 12:26Speaker 4: See. Curtis Lewa and Larry Minty in the morning. The
- 12:30Speaker 4: conversation continues.
- 12:33Speaker 1: On 710WOR.
- 12:36Speaker 2: Well, the Giants had a bye week, but the Jets
- 12:39Speaker 2: were out and the defense collapsed in the end. But
- 12:43Speaker 2: we have the super sports spectacular Warner Wolf on to
- 12:47Speaker 2: tell us when the hell is Aaron Glenn, the head coach,
- 12:50Speaker 2: going to give up calling defensive signals?
- 12:55Speaker 1: Well, you're right. The Jets would have been better off
- 12:57Speaker 1: with a bye rather than the Giants. Yeah, you could
- 13:03Speaker 1: laugh at that.
- 13:03Speaker 4: I did.
- 13:04Speaker 5: Aaron Glenn's record.
- 13:05Speaker 4: His record is now 5-20 as.
- 13:06Speaker 1: Jets head coach, 2-6 this year. And it will likely
- 13:13Speaker 1: be 2-8 because they play the Chiefs and Bills next.
- 13:19Speaker 1: Glenn is also proving he has seen his better days
- 13:23Speaker 1: as a defensive coordinator. I mean, you know, I don't
- 13:28Speaker 1: know what to say. He seems like a nice guy,
- 13:30Speaker 1: but I don't think he can do it. He can't
- 13:34Speaker 1: do the job. The only bright spot is Braylon Allen.
- 13:39Speaker 1: was playing for the injured Brees Hall. Man, he gained
- 13:42Speaker 1: 147 yards in 21 carries. So that was it for
- 13:47Speaker 1: the Jets. The home teams, by the way, won 10
- 13:50Speaker 1: out of the 13 games this week. Hey, who are
- 13:54Speaker 1: you kidding? Bears quarterback Kaleeb Williams was fined nearly $ 24, 000
- 14:00Speaker 1: by the NFL for wearing a pair of unauthorized NFL shoes,
- 14:06Speaker 1: Caddick's cleats. in the win last week against the patriots
- 14:11Speaker 1: no surprise the caddick's company ceo paid williams is twenty
- 14:17Speaker 1: four thousand dollar fine the question is gentleman how much
- 14:22Speaker 1: did the caddick's company pay williams under the table for
- 14:26Speaker 1: the free advertising on a three-hour nfl game on national
- 14:31Speaker 1: television likely more than the twenty four thousand dollars he's
- 14:36Speaker 1: no dummy Talk about leading. Did you follow that?
- 14:42Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. Moolish moolah. That's it. That's it. Moolish moolah
- 14:46Speaker 4: under the table.
- 14:48Speaker 1: That's it. Now you're talking. Hey, talk about leading lands
- 14:51Speaker 1: to slaughter. Small-time football schools like Ball State and Kent
- 14:56Speaker 1: State both chose to play big-name schools all on the
- 15:01Speaker 1: road in big stadiums like Ohio State, South Carolina, Northwestern.
- 15:06Speaker 1: And they've already lost by scores of 57-0, 59-3, and 51-15. Why?
- 15:15Speaker 1: So their athletic departments can cash in and earn millions,
- 15:19Speaker 1: which they wouldn't get if they were playing at home.
- 15:23Speaker 1: So I can see it now. Ball State and Kent
- 15:26Speaker 1: State recruiters, they visit a prospective player's parents and say
- 15:31Speaker 1: to the parents, hey, folks, come on down. Have your
- 15:35Speaker 1: son play for us and watch your son get clobbered.
- 15:41Speaker 1: But he'll be making money for our athletic department. All right,
- 15:46Speaker 1: as far as the World Series goes, the Brewers proved
- 15:50Speaker 1: to the rest of the league, including the Yankees and Mets,
- 15:54Speaker 1: you don't need home runs to be successful. The world
- 15:59Speaker 1: champion Brewers were next to last in home runs. with
- 16:04Speaker 1: a total of only 154 home runs compared to the
- 16:08Speaker 1: homer crazy Yankees who had 223 homers and the Mets
- 16:14Speaker 1: with 204 homers. And where did that get them? Instead,
- 16:18Speaker 1: the Brewers played old-time baseball, including bunting, whoa, a lost art,
- 16:25Speaker 1: hitting behind the runner, hit and run, stealing bases, and
- 16:30Speaker 1: perhaps more important, Instead of a robot manager relying on
- 16:37Speaker 1: pitch count and overrated analytics, removing the starting pitcher always
- 16:43Speaker 1: way too soon, the Brewers manager, Pat Murphy, led his
- 16:48Speaker 1: four starting pitchers each average at least six innings or
- 16:54Speaker 1: more per game. That's the way you do it.
- 16:58Speaker 4: No Aaron Boone there, that's for sure.
- 17:00Speaker 1: No, no, Mr. Robot. Sad note, Jerry Kuzmin looked upon
- 17:06Speaker 1: as the best left-handed starter in Met history. He died
- 17:11Speaker 1: at age 83. Kuzmin won 222 games, and Met fans
- 17:17Speaker 1: will always remember he was the key, besides Tom Seaver
- 17:22Speaker 1: in 1969, winning games two and five in the World
- 17:26Speaker 1: Series against Baltimore. And guess what? He pitched eight innings
- 17:31Speaker 1: in game two, and a complete game in game five. Today,
- 17:36Speaker 1: he would have been yanked in the third inning.
- 17:39Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right.
- 17:43Speaker 1: All right, here we go. It's time now. A rare
- 17:48Speaker 1: appearance bringing him back. The Three Stooges. Hit it, Crash.
- 18:00Speaker 1: All right, here we go. Stooge number one, former President Obama,
- 18:05Speaker 1: who now we find out knew 10 years ago that
- 18:09Speaker 1: Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar had married her brother and said
- 18:14Speaker 1: nothing so she could run for Congress and he wouldn't
- 18:18Speaker 1: have to send her back to Somalia. Stooge number two,
- 18:23Speaker 1: former FBI Director James Comey, who after... hit again with
- 18:28Speaker 1: leaking classified information last week to the New York Times.
- 18:33Speaker 1: Call it abuse of power. Abuse of power. Hey, Jimmy,
- 18:38Speaker 1: look in the mirror. You were part of the great
- 18:41Speaker 1: Russian hoax. That was the all-time abuse of power. And
- 18:46Speaker 1: our third stooge, former Vice President Kamala Harris, who last week,
- 18:52Speaker 1: while campaigning in Georgia, for Senator John Ossoff said, let's
- 19:00Speaker 1: elect John Ossoff as our next senator. He is the senator. Oh, man.
- 19:09Speaker 1: Talk about being unprepared. And those are our three speeches.
- 19:20Speaker 4: But, Warner, you mentioned Jerry Koosman.
- 19:24Speaker 2: You know, for all the Mets fans, oh, the thrill
- 19:26Speaker 2: of victory, the agony of defeat for the Boston Red Sox,
- 19:30Speaker 2: the 1986 World Series where I hated both equally. I
- 19:35Speaker 2: was Switzerland. I hated the Red Sox. I hated the Mets. But, oh,
- 19:39Speaker 2: the memories. Buckner, Mookie Wilson. And that wasn't the final game, Warner.
- 19:45Speaker 2: A lot of people still think that was the final game.
- 19:49Speaker 1: You know what?
- 19:49Speaker 2: No.
- 19:50Speaker 1: Funny you bring that up. That was game six. And
- 19:53Speaker 1: the anniversary was last week. It marked the 40th year.
- 19:58Speaker 1: But you know what? The Red Sox fans incorrectly blamed
- 20:04Speaker 1: Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner for the loss. That
- 20:07Speaker 1: was wrong. That's a bum rap. First of all, how
- 20:11Speaker 1: about the relievers, Calvin Chiraldi, who gave up three hits
- 20:15Speaker 1: after two are out, and Bob Stanley, who came in
- 20:18Speaker 1: and threw the wild pitch to tie the score. Buckner
- 20:21Speaker 1: was playing on two bad knees, had cortisone shots in
- 20:25Speaker 1: his ankles before the game, and had an Achilles heel problem.
- 20:30Speaker 1: He should have been replaced at first base by McNamara,
- 20:34Speaker 1: the manager, which he had done in games one, two,
- 20:39Speaker 1: and five. You remember, as a result, Curtis, poor Buckner
- 20:43Speaker 1: had to move his family to Idaho because of death
- 20:47Speaker 1: threats and scrutiny by the media. But he really was
- 20:52Speaker 1: not the GOAT, but they just jumped all over him.
- 20:56Speaker 2: And he was a great ball player when you consider
- 20:59Speaker 2: all that.
- 20:59Speaker 1: This guy almost had 3,000 hits, and he hit over
- 21:00Speaker 1: 300 or 299 nine times. He was a terrific hitter.
- 21:12Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you something. Let me tell you something,
- 21:14Speaker 2: Warner Wolf. I got to cut you off. I got
- 21:15Speaker 2: to give you a verbal bris. You were magnificent today,
- 21:22Speaker 2: but we got to go to Natalie Migliore up next.
- 21:24Speaker 2: She was out on that marathon route, and boy, she
- 21:28Speaker 2: became an even bigger star with our own Larry and
- 21:32Speaker 2: Natalie and others here at 710 WR who did great
- 21:36Speaker 2: coverage of yesterday's New York City Marathon.
- 21:39Speaker 4: Well, customers.
- 21:40Speaker 6: Curtis Sliwa and Larry Minty.
- 21:43Speaker 4: They're better together.
- 21:44Speaker 6: On 710WOR.
- 21:47Speaker 3: As we look at these elections across the country and
- 21:50Speaker 3: tomorrow is election day. I know a lot of people
- 21:53Speaker 3: already got their votes in by early voting or mail-in voting.
- 21:57Speaker 3: But tomorrow is when the majority of people are going
- 22:00Speaker 3: to vote if past elections tell us anything. One of
- 22:04Speaker 3: the elections that– well, I will say it this way.
- 22:07Speaker 3: The election that got the most interest is the Senate
- 22:12Speaker 3: race in Michigan between El-Sayed, who is running against Rogers.
- 22:22Speaker 3: What is most fascinating about that election, because there's no
- 22:26Speaker 3: sitting senator right now, what is most fascinating about that
- 22:30Speaker 3: election is El-Sayed. And El-Sayed has been controversial from the
- 22:34Speaker 3: very beginning because of his alleged ties to the Muslim
- 22:37Speaker 3: Brotherhood and his weird and strange positions, fluctuating positions on Israel.
- 22:46Speaker 3: And for that, you'll remember that the person that he
- 22:49Speaker 3: ran against in the primary, Haley Stevens' husband, came out,
- 22:55Speaker 3: who was a big Israeli supporter, is Jewish, a big
- 22:57Speaker 3: Israeli supporter, and said he could not vote for El-Sayed.
- 23:02Speaker 3: And then after that, Stevens came out and appeared with
- 23:08Speaker 3: Mike Rogers saying she also could not vote for El Sayed.
- 23:14Speaker 7: My vote for Senate is going to be with Mike Rogers.
- 23:17Speaker 7: And I will tell you why. Because we have to
- 23:20Speaker 7: stand with country. We can't stand with hate. We can't
- 23:25Speaker 7: stand with Hassan Piker.
- 23:26Speaker 3: That was a last minute curveball in an election. They
- 23:31Speaker 3: happen quite often. That has thrown the election into a tizzy.
- 23:35Speaker 3: And Haley Stevens is getting a lot of the blowback.
- 23:50Speaker 3: that's when she was having the press conference and there
- 23:53Speaker 3: was a heckler in there that was yelling that she
- 23:55Speaker 3: was a traitor right now this is maybe the biggest
- 23:59Speaker 3: political story in the country and donald trump has made
- 24:03Speaker 3: an offer to stevens.
- 24:04Speaker 1: That was a big move i think i was Nobody
- 24:07Speaker 1: expected that, but it's a smart thing to do because
- 24:11Speaker 1: El-Sayed would destroy our country.
- 24:14Speaker 3: This all happened apparently right after that El-Sayed was having
- 24:20Speaker 3: an event that Haley Stevens was supposed to be the
- 24:24Speaker 3: keynote speaker at on Israel. And then his campaign called
- 24:29Speaker 3: and said, you shouldn't go here anyway. We don't want
- 24:33Speaker 3: you here. And then she made this decision. In the meantime,
- 24:37Speaker 3: El-Sayed is not saying a thing about Stevens. This is
- 24:42Speaker 3: a state of 10 million people who deserve a lot
- 24:44Speaker 3: better from their government. I'm a lot more focused on
- 24:47Speaker 3: the 9,999,998 that are not the ones you guys are
- 24:49Speaker 3: talking about. The big question right now is how is
- 24:57Speaker 3: this going to affect the election? Because it's razor thin,
- 25:01Speaker 3: razor thin. And if the Republicans could pick up a
- 25:05Speaker 3: seat in Michigan, that would be huge. It would probably
- 25:09Speaker 3: save the Senate for the Republicans. That's how big this is.
- 25:14Speaker 3: The question is, will Haley Stevens, in telling her supporters
- 25:20Speaker 3: to now vote for Mike Rogers, Curtis... Is that going
- 25:24Speaker 3: to have the effect the Republicans hope it has?
- 25:26Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting how this all came about. As you
- 25:30Speaker 2: had mentioned, her fiancé is Jewish. She hopes to get
- 25:34Speaker 2: married soon. She has said she's considering converting to the
- 25:38Speaker 2: Jewish faith. And remember, when she was running against Al-Said
- 25:42Speaker 2: in the primary, she oftentimes would be invited to synagogues
- 25:47Speaker 2: because she won the Jewish vote overwhelmingly in the primary.
- 25:49Speaker 2: And she said, I see Israel in my dreams. So
- 25:53Speaker 2: obviously Al-Said, I think it said, you know, some Muslims
- 25:58Speaker 2: are like 2%, Jews are like 1.5%. They cancel each
- 26:01Speaker 2: other out. So it's really the rest of the state.
- 26:04Speaker 2: And she so wanted him to denounce that ad that
- 26:09Speaker 2: never made it to TV. A lot of these ads
- 26:10Speaker 2: never make it to TV. It was put out there.
- 26:13Speaker 2: You know, they had the husband and the wife. They're white.
- 26:17Speaker 2: talking about the prices of groceries and the reason they're
- 26:21Speaker 2: so high is because all the money we give to
- 26:23Speaker 2: Israel for the war and for their social programs. And
- 26:27Speaker 2: they must have done internal polling that said this resonates
- 26:31Speaker 2: because it continued to be out there. He, on Saturday,
- 26:33Speaker 2: he finally denounced that. But then he did a pirouette
- 26:37Speaker 2: and he said, by the way, I don't want her
- 26:39Speaker 2: coming to the black church on Sunday. She's not welcome.
- 26:42Speaker 2: So apparently the Democrats were lobbying her. Clayburn, who's been
- 26:46Speaker 2: her mentor, who was with Al-Said at the black church
- 26:49Speaker 2: in Detroit yesterday. And up until 12 midnight, apparently she said, OK,
- 26:55Speaker 2: I've had it. I'm not jumping in. You know, I'm
- 26:57Speaker 2: not saying anything anymore. I'm taking the code of America.
- 27:00Speaker 2: Then at five o'clock in the morning. this according to
- 27:04Speaker 2: what most people know, she calls up Mike Rogers and says,
- 27:08Speaker 2: how would you like me to attend your event at
- 27:11Speaker 2: a black church, different black church in Detroit?
- 27:14Speaker 4: And he said, certainly.
- 27:16Speaker 2: So obviously it's all about the black vote now. It's
- 27:19Speaker 2: all about the black vote, which is incredibly important. You're
- 27:23Speaker 2: talking about 14% of the vote. And now we're going
- 27:28Speaker 2: to see who can get that black vote out. She
- 27:30Speaker 2: has said, I'm not campaigning with Mike Rogers after yesterday's
- 27:33Speaker 2: event at the church. I'm taking the code of America.
- 27:36Speaker 2: But then again, can you believe anything that anybody says
- 27:40Speaker 2: in Michigan? I'll tell you what, he's having a real
- 27:42Speaker 2: problem with the black vote right now. And he knows
- 27:44Speaker 2: that that's why he's campaigning so hard. Normally, a Democrat
- 27:48Speaker 2: might get anywhere from 85 to 95 percent of the
- 27:52Speaker 2: black vote. He's down in the 60s. If he stays
- 27:55Speaker 2: down in the 60s, he loses the election. There's no question.
- 27:59Speaker 3: So you're absolutely correct that the black vote is imperative
- 28:03Speaker 3: in this election. And getting them out to vote is
- 28:06Speaker 3: imperative in this election. And the church he went to,
- 28:10Speaker 3: the pastor there, who was extremely popular, was telling people
- 28:14Speaker 3: they have to get out and vote for El-Sayed. So
- 28:17Speaker 3: getting that kind of blessing is a big deal. We'll
- 28:21Speaker 3: see what's going to happen. This is what the most
- 28:24Speaker 3: fascinating thing about this election is. There's so many races
- 28:27Speaker 3: just like this one. And everything we say and everything
- 28:32Speaker 3: the pollsters say and everything in the network say doesn't
- 28:37Speaker 3: necessarily reflect in the turnout. We've been so surprised in
- 28:42Speaker 3: the past. And it's very, it'll be very easy to
- 28:46Speaker 3: be surprised in this one. I'll tell you what, you know,
- 28:48Speaker 3: I'll be on election night and we're going to know
- 28:51Speaker 3: pretty early where this is going.
- 28:54Speaker 2: Now, one thing I've sensed, that El-Said and some of
- 28:58Speaker 2: the Democrats, it started with Plattner, obviously he fizzled out,
- 29:02Speaker 2: some of the others who were running around the country,
- 29:04Speaker 2: unlike when Boulanger was running for president and a lot
- 29:08Speaker 2: of the male candidates. were not, like, macho, maniacal. El Saeed,
- 29:13Speaker 2: all of a sudden, out of nowhere, he was captain
- 29:15Speaker 2: of his high school football team, right? He was the MVP.
- 29:19Speaker 2: He was a lineman, you know, so he was in there,
- 29:22Speaker 2: the dirt, the grunt. He went to the University of Michigan,
- 29:25Speaker 2: played lacrosse, which is extraordinarily macho.
- 29:28Speaker 4: He's in the gym. He's lifting weights.
- 29:30Speaker 2: You know, unlike his friend, Zoran Mandami, who will remember
- 29:34Speaker 2: the embarrassing moment of the campaign. He couldn't even lift
- 29:36Speaker 2: his own body weight. This apparently has an appeal to us.
- 29:40Speaker 2: of the macho maniacal males out there. So they're all
- 29:43Speaker 2: doing internal polling that they don't share with anybody else.
- 29:48Speaker 2: Where are we gaining ground? Where are we losing ground?
- 29:52Speaker 2: And the incredible amount of money, apparently at this point,
- 29:55Speaker 2: Ohio and Michigan have the most outside money pouring in.
- 29:59Speaker 4: Yeah, I can see that.
- 30:00Speaker 3: I mean, that would be pretty obvious also because they
- 30:03Speaker 3: have big markets, you know, so it costs more money
- 30:06Speaker 3: to get the vote out in those markets when you
- 30:09Speaker 3: have Detroit and you have Cleveland and even Columbus is expensive.
- 30:14Speaker 3: You know, we're talking micro and just looking at Michigan
- 30:16Speaker 3: right now and the importance of Michigan, but there's so
- 30:19Speaker 3: many states across the country. I'm just going to finish
- 30:21Speaker 3: what I was saying because there's a lot of people
- 30:23Speaker 3: that are going to be listening on election night and
- 30:25Speaker 3: watching coverage on election night. Watch Maine and South Carolina.
- 30:32Speaker 3: If Maine and South Carolina go democratic, It's going to
- 30:35Speaker 3: be a real bad night for Republicans.
- 30:37Speaker 4: It's going to be a really bad night.
- 30:39Speaker 2: You know, we're speaking to, in the 8 o'clock hour,
- 30:41Speaker 2: a retiree down in South Carolina playing bocce every day.
- 30:45Speaker 4: Not golf, in Myrtle Beach.
- 30:47Speaker 2: Joel Bartlett was a fixture here at WOR to find
- 30:51Speaker 2: out how did that race tighten up so much. The
- 30:54Speaker 2: other thing that I think is incredibly important. The Democratic
- 30:58Speaker 2: chairman in the state of Michigan said, OK, Haley Stevens,
- 31:01Speaker 2: you're a traitor. We're going to kick you out of
- 31:03Speaker 2: the party. You can't do that. You register as a Democrat.
- 31:07Speaker 2: You're a Democrat. Remember, the Republicans wanted to kick me
- 31:09Speaker 2: out of the party. You can't kick me out of
- 31:11Speaker 2: the party. I'm a registered Republican. So they make all
- 31:14Speaker 2: these downs, these threats. What are you talking about? You
- 31:18Speaker 2: can't kick somebody out of a party. You go, you
- 31:20Speaker 2: register in the party. That's the party you're a part of.
- 31:24Speaker 2: I mean, we've had some of the worst people who
- 31:26Speaker 2: are registered to vote in parties. I mean, pedophiles, extortionists, murderers,
- 31:31Speaker 2: killers everywhere. You can't kick somebody out of a party.
- 31:34Speaker 3: No, I understand that. What you can do– you understand it.
- 31:38Speaker 3: What you can do is ice them out. You don't
- 31:41Speaker 3: have to kick them out. You can ice them out.
- 31:43Speaker 3: That happens quite often, as a matter of fact. This is–
- 31:47Speaker 3: I'll tell you, the reason we're talking– we're now going
- 31:50Speaker 3: to be talking through the show about the midterms because
- 31:52Speaker 3: it's the biggest story in America right now, and it's
- 31:54Speaker 3: happening tomorrow. This is going to be a midterm for
- 31:58Speaker 3: the ages. It really is a fascinating one.
- 32:01Speaker 4: I don't think, Larry, and I know you're a veteran
- 32:03Speaker 4: of this. I'm a veteran.
- 32:05Speaker 2: I've never seen so many close races. Now, you can say, OK,
- 32:08Speaker 2: the polls are always off.
- 32:10Speaker 3: But in so many of the races, neck and neck,
- 32:14Speaker 3: they have been they have been off. I will tell
- 32:17Speaker 3: you that there have been some landslide elections that nobody
- 32:20Speaker 3: saw coming. And it's worse in the midterms. It's always
- 32:24Speaker 3: worse in the midterms than in the presidential election. So, yes,
- 32:28Speaker 3: the polls have been really off. You know, when the
- 32:30Speaker 3: polls started being so off was when the Internet started.
- 32:34Speaker 3: When the Internet started and people could just stream and
- 32:36Speaker 3: they had cell phones and they just used their cell
- 32:40Speaker 3: phones all the time, it was really difficult to get
- 32:42Speaker 3: a hold of people. They got to go back to
- 32:44Speaker 3: doing face-to-face polling.
- 32:46Speaker 2: That, but also a lot of Republicans, MAGA, Just will
- 32:49Speaker 2: not answer pollsters' questions.
- 32:52Speaker 4: You know, they ignore them. They don't trust the pollsters.
- 32:54Speaker 2: So if you don't have a proper number of Republicans sampled,
- 32:59Speaker 2: legitimate Republicans who are likely to vote, with legitimate Democrats
- 33:03Speaker 2: who are likely to vote, and some independents, it may
- 33:06Speaker 2: be a false positive. But anyway, up next, oh my God,
- 33:11Speaker 2: Martha Stewart, the queen of mean. I think she should
- 33:14Speaker 2: replace Leona Helmsley on this.
- 33:16Speaker 4: Manufacturing jobs.
- 33:18Speaker 3: Two billion.
