Hour 2: NY Gubernatorial debate · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

  Speaker 1: Oh boy, Cornell does not leave the headlines reverberating across
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the nation. In fact, every day there's more and more
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: information that is coming out on both sides of the issue.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: You have Jane Doe's attorney who is prolific in getting
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: out information that he thinks is going to help this
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: civil case that he launched against Cornell that introduced us
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: to what had happened on that fateful night. Then you
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: have all the other defense attorneys who have been hired
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: on behalf of the Cornell 7. A full-page interview in
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the New York Times, the old great lady by the
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: president of Cornell, who says, look, there were many missteps.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I am guilty of missteps, but I'm not resigning, which
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: has been one of the demands of the many who
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: have been organizing demonstrations on and off campus.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: One of the defendant's attorneys, I think.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Very wisely called for a gag rule, Larry, to stop
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: all of this dissemination of what I'll call information for now,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: but some of it that will probably turn out to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: be misinformation. This case is being tried with the public.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: It's not even being tried in a civil case yet.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: or a potential criminal case, and every day there's just
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: more and more. The latest is this, and this is
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: not a good reflection on Jane Doe. The victim, according
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: to her attorney in the civil suit, apparently Jane Doe
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: was sent by her roommate at the sorority that she
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: shared a room with a text At about 3 o'clock
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: in the morning, which would have been on the night
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: and morning in question, when all of a sudden the
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: threesome was taking place and then other guys got in
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: on the action. And apparently the roommate just said, hey,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I need to know, are you coming home? And there
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: was a response at 3.05 in the morning, IDK, simply,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know. And then that same woman, her roommate,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: posted a picture of their empty sorority dorm room at
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: 11.15 that morning. And her words were, it was a
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: good night when only one of the three of us
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: made it back.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, I know. And now Jane Doe's attorney is
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Al Thomas Jeffra, who is out there saying these are
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: all taken out of context. They've only released certain things. Well,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: you did the same thing. Both sides of attorneys, the
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: defendants and Jane Doe's attorney, everybody's going to release stuff
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: right now. Curtis, I have covered so many trials recently.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: And you get all your information from the attorneys until
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: somebody puts on a gag order. And you know who
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: the one person is they can't put a gag order on?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Another attorney. He can't put it on. They have to
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: get a judge in this case. They have to get
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: somebody that is going to take control of this case.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Because it's gotten ridiculous. Jeffra, by the way, he's stunned
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: at this. He didn't want this. He didn't want this
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: to be a criminal case. He was leaking all this
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: stuff out. Simply because he wanted a big payout from
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Cornell University. He wanted a settlement. Oh, absolutely. That's all
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: he was looking for. Now it's gotten out of control.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: And now it's going to end up, once they, if
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: they do come up with charges, once there is this
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: state investigation and they come up with charges, they're going
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: to put the civil case on hold. So he kind
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: of screwed himself and his client because that's going to
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: be put on hold. And what is going to dominate is,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: is just the criminal case. And then if he loses
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the criminal case, he heard his own case.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: And then whether it's rumor, innuendo, or fact, other leaks
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: have come out that Jane Doe, the woman in question,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: had a self-harm problem weeks before in which she was
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: cutting herself. Unfortunately, there are some young people who are
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: gripped in the throes of depression who then revert to
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: taking straight-edge razors, cutting themselves. You know, you really have
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to be in a miserable state to begin doing that.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: A number of people who have actually years later acknowledged
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: that they went through that same period of such deep
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: depression that they were cutting themselves. So more is coming
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: out about this. But you understand we're at a point
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: right now. We're at a point in this case right
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: now of gossip and innuendo.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: And so everybody's just releasing stuff right now that they
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: believe helps their case. And so none of it has
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: gone through the system of justice on you can't enter that,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: you can't enter that, or any cross-examination or witness coming
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: out from the other side. And so Cornell University has
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: had to stay basically silent on the whole thing. They've
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: been taking some actions, yes. But they have to stay
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: basically silent because they don't want to hurt their own case.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I'm sure their attorneys have told them be extremely selective
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: on what you say.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: They made a decision, an executive decision, that they are
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: banning all frat parties on campus or off campus.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: So they want to make sweeping changes. Are they going
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: to get rid of their sex guides? Did you see that?
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Did you see their sex guides in exactly one or
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: two are okay for mates more than three? That's up
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: to you. That was a sex guide put out by
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: the university. I didn't see that. Oh my God.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: We'll have to get that. I'm going to get the
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: whole thing so we can go down it. Bill Maher.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I didn't know this was a graduate. He graduated in 1978.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: And as you know, He is a party guy. The
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: one time I went on his show, Comedy Central, afterwards,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: they all went out partying until the break of dawn.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: So he's always been a party guy when he does
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: his podcast, not his HBO program, his podcast. He's drinking,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: he's smoking, he's an acknowledged party guy. He came out
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and said, get rid of Greek life, period, everywhere. He says,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: because if there is a problem and you have a frat,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: You're just exacerbating that problem. Now, he didn't quite go
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: to the extent of saying that Taliban rules should be
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: put into effect. But, boy, for a guy who's been
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: known as Spuds McKenzie, a guy who loves to party,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: saying get rid of all Greek life.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: He obviously doesn't like fraternities. And I've never joined a frat.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Nobody in my family has ever been on a frat
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: or a sorority. But I don't have any problems with them, Mike.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Just because there's one bad apple or a couple of
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: things happened at fraternities, that doesn't mean you should ban them.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: People seem to love them, and so why not have them?
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Just control them. And by the way, when you look
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: at the frats and not at Cornell University, you're looking
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: at the wrong thing. Cornell University was able to set
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: the regulations and rules for these places. Cornell University... put
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: people in charge of the frats and the sororities, and
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: they were negligent. And so Cornell University should be embarrassed
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: of all of this. The president of Cornell University should
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: step down. He's trying to save his job right now,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: but he should step down. This is a huge embarrassment
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: to them. But as far as the case, everybody has
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: to calm down. It's going to go to court. This
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: is going, there's no question at this point, it's going
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: to go to court and everything's going to be a
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: lot of different. You're going to hear evidence you thought
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: was one way. And now it's another way. You're going
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: to hear many things right now. It's a free for
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: all people are just throwing stuff out there. And, and
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: of course the media, we suck it all up. And
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: so we have a microphone and, and we send it
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: across the world and then it becomes true.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Well, It was an important part of the debate last
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: night between Bruce Blakeman and obviously Kathy Hochul. They both
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: had their opinions on it, but Bruce was very quick,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: very quick-footed. He said, hey, what did you do for
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: four years? You were the trustee there at Cornell University.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: You act oblivious, like you didn't play any role in
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: basically covering this up. Now, I don't think that was
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: necessarily fair, but the public doesn't know that. I think
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: you had pointed out that you could be a trustee
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: to a college trustee. Especially the state gives money to
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Cornell University as governor without ever knowing what's going on.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: You're not attending board meetings or things like that. Especially
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: at a frat party.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: You're not going to know what's happening at a frat
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: party on a given night. But once there was an
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: investigation and there was an investigation, I'm sure the trustees
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: learned about that. Should they have gotten involved? No. I
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: don't think they should have gotten involved. As governor, should
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: she have? Well, she should certainly have been more curious
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: than it sounds like she was. She kept it at
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: hand's length. So some of the criticism is okay. Some
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: of that criticism is okay.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: One thing I liked about Bruce Blakeman is he said,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: as you have pointed out, the law right now, the
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: way it's written, basically suggests that if you are inebriated
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: or thought to be inebriated.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Voluntarily. That's the key word.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: That, in fact, you are culpable.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: And that whoever is being charged with preying upon you,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: taking advantage of you, well, that's almost like tough nookies.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: So he was very good in explaining that, like, he
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: as governor would lead to change that law.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Good, good. That law is going to get changed at
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: this point. And one of the best things that happened
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: at this case— is that was put out in the
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: spotlight now they can't go too far the other way
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: but most states have dealt with this issue a lot
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: better than new york has and i don't understand why
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: this law has existed for so long people have been
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: trying to get rid of the voluntary intoxication law for
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: a decade and they have not been able to, and
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: nobody paid attention to them until now.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: You know, we had such a strong Me Too movement
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: here in both the state legislature. That's why Andrew Evil
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Eyes Cuomo got ousted, because of the sexual harassment.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: You would have thought that there were.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Legislators who, if not their staff, because staff does 90%
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: of their.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Work, who would have brought this to everybody's attention.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: And yet, there are states, as you pointed out, that
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: are considered more conservative than New York. New York is
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: considered one of the most progressive, most democratic, where those
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: provisions are already put into place.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Curtis, they all knew about it. They all knew about
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: this law. They all knew about the fight to change.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: And it comes up just about every year, and it
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: never gets through. So, listen, for some reason, there's a
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: lot of men... That are worried about this law and
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: certainly don't want it to pass. And now I think
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: it's gotten to the point we've now hit a tipping point.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: where it's going to change. It has to change. Could
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: be their own behavior in Albany.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Remember, there have been many charges about them taking advantage
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: of interns and female staff members.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that's what I was saying without saying it.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Interested in buying a dinosaur? Then stay with us. Listen
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: to this. This is kind of amazing. A very rare
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: fossil skeleton named Jody is what paleontologists believe is a
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: new dinosaur, one we didn't know about before. And they
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: believe it's a distant cousin of the Tyrannosaurus rex. It's
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: known as a nanotyrannus. Now this, in the science world,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: would be huge, right? And so guess what they're going
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: to do? Guess what they're going to do with that skeleton?
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: They're going to auction it off.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Thanks to extensive research that was just published last fall,
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: we now have proof that this is actually a completely
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: different type of dinosaur known as a nanotyrannus.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: That is not a scientist. That is a sales pitch
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: from Sotheby's vice chair, Cassandra Halton. And so instead of
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: taking this and putting it in a museum, we're studying
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: it to see if we can find out about this
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: new breed It is going to be auctioned off.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: What do you mean auctioned off? You mean, do we
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: know the origin of it, where they dug it up?
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Do we know exactly where they found it? You would
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: think the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History on the west
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: side of New York, some other great museum. would want
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: to keep it on for show, and also students and
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: people studying. I can't understand if this was the fossils
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: of Godzilla, the most famous dinosaur of all times with
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: all of his movies.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Those museums don't pay as much. It was found by
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: a rancher in Montana in 2019. Okay, 2019, Rancher Montana.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Makes sense if you followed where supposedly all the dinosaurs
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: were until they went extinct. But how does it all
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: of a sudden go up for auction and not become
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: part of the scientific world?
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Because it's hers. It was found on her property. Jodi
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Peterson found it on her property. And it's not just
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: because that's where all the dinosaurs were. The dinosaurs were
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: just about everywhere. It's that the ground is unsullied. You know,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: nobody's been touching a ranch ground or Montana for a
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: long time here. They've dug everything up. So anything to
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: find has been found at this point. And it's really interesting. Hatton,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: the person from Sotheby's, who is trying to sell this thing,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: I would think a selling point would be that it's
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: a cousin of the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Oh, yeah, Sotheby's. But
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: she's trying to distance that.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: It lived at the same time as T. rex, but
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: they occupied distinct niches in the ecological system. So think
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: of maybe a lion and a cheetah.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: So even though paleontologists are saying it's related, she's looking
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: at the price tag. If this is a brand new,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: unrelated find, she's thinking it would take in more money. Now,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: yesterday we talked about Michael Jordan's game-worn jersey in the
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: finals that went for $ 14 million. What do you think,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: if that went for $ 14 million, what do you think
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: they would expect this skeleton to go for?
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: First of all, if you'd have to authenticate it, how
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: do you know it's not bison bones or buffalo bones?
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Millions of dollars, without a question.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: More than the jersey?
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Some emir in Dubai would probably want to have that there.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: It's supposed to go between $ 6 and $ 9 million. Maybe even...
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Half the amount. So a jersey? The jersey went for more. What?
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: That's the world we live in. Now let's get some
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: talkbacks on a lot of different topics. Let's start with
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: the debate. Kathy Hochul seemed like a person who knew
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: she was in first place.
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: One, because she had that stupid smug smile, that Hillary
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: Clinton smile that I can't stand.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: I just want to dropkick her.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: And she just didn't care what he had to say.
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: She wasn't going to say what she wanted to say.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: And that was it.
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: True.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: She cellophane wrapped Bruce Blakeman in Trump. And we're going
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: to get into that heavily in the eight o'clock hour.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Now, let's like I said, a lot of topics. Here's Cornell.
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: You pointed out what I've been saying all along. If
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: they were trying to get. a lawsuit against Cornell and
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: get a payout, they have shot themselves in the foot
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: now because if you start a criminal investigation, that takes
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: over precedence over the civil. They'll never get around to it.
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: What were they thinking?
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: You're absolutely correct. And now, because I'll tell you what,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: the horse is out of the barn now. There's no
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: way to put this back in. And there's going to
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: be a criminal case. And this civil case is going
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: to be put on hold. This is attorney malpractice. Now
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: let's get to Daria Albinger with the 730 News. Daria.
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: Morning, guys.
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: Chance for a midday or afternoon shower. We'll see a
• 16:37
  Speaker 9: high of 78 degrees today. In less than three weeks
• 16:39

  Speaker 7: Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul and Republican Nassau County Executive Bruce
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: Blakeman debated for an hour. The event hosted and aired
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: by New York One and Spectrum News. The two sparred
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: often on immigration and ICE, specifically last week's ICE shooting
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: in New York City of a man with his five-year-old
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: in the car.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: If you cooperate with federal law enforcement, it makes for
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: a safer community. That's what I did. Kathy Hochul has
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: taken that ability away from us. That's why things like
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: this happen. He refused to condemn what ICE did. So
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: he basically says in the state.
• 17:17
  Speaker 10: Of New York, he'd be fine if ICE agents- Shoot
• 17:23
  Speaker 10: into cars.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Andrew Whitman, WOR News.
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: President Trump will be out on the campaign trail today

• 17:36
  Speaker 9: no-confidence vote on how the school's administration handled an alleged
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: sexual assault at a fraternity house. Cornell, in the meantime,
• 17:43
  Speaker 9: is suspending fraternity parties while an investigation continues. The FBI
• 17:47
  Speaker 9: has traced a work-from-home scam in Texas to North Korea,
• 17:51
  Speaker 9: and the feds say what it was doing is dangerous.
• 17:54
  Speaker 11: The FBI says it's broken up a North Korean scheme
• 17:56
  Speaker 11: that put nearly 200 work laptops inside dozens of homes
• 18:00
  Speaker 11: across Texas. Agents say each laptop served as a doorway
• 18:04
  Speaker 11: for a North Korean posing as an American to infiltrate U.S.

  Speaker 3: Companies.
• 18:08
  Speaker 9: ABC's Sophie Flay. The Vatican says Pope Leo is resting

  Speaker 9: Next news, 8 o'clock bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger

  Speaker 9: on 710WOR.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, up next, right on time, tech expert Rich DeMuro.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: All these debates, including last night's debate with Hochul and Blakeman,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: talked about the AI data filing centers.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: My question is.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: How do you have AI without data filing centers?
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Up next. Well, Larry, right on time. Our tech expert,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Rich DeMuro.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Rich, last night we had the New York State gubernatorial debate.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: They talked about AI data filing centers. It's been true
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: in almost every debate across the country, whether for governor, U.S.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Senate, Congress.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Four years ago, every governor was throwing money at these companies.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: We'll give you water, electricity, whatever you want, bring it
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: to this state. Four months ago, they started putting on
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: the brakes. How can you have AI without AI data
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: filing centers?
• 19:23
  Speaker 12: Well, it's a good question, and the interesting thing is
• 19:25
  Speaker 12: that you can.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: You can definitely have AI, and you've probably used AI
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: without a data center because this is kind of the
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: future of AI is where it lives.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: On your device.
• 19:34
  Speaker 12: In fact, I was at a Microsoft event.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: This week where they talked about that very thing. They
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: came out with a super high-end laptop, and they said, look,
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: in the future, AI is going to be hybrid. And
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: the reason why you don't always want AI in a
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: data center or AI in the cloud is for privacy reasons.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: If you're running a big company, you don't necessarily want
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: all of your information to go to the cloud. So
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: that's number one. The iPhone also runs something called Apple Intelligence.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: Androids have something called these little flash nano packages that
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: are on your phone that help run AI programs. But
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: the main issue is, You can't necessarily train AI.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Without a cloud.
• 20:13
  Speaker 12: So you can in small.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: Ways, but if you truly want a bunch of people
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: to be able to not only train that AI, but
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: also access that AI, like a ChatGVT or like a
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: Meta's Muse, you've got to have the data center in
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: order to run the AI for millions upon millions of people.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: And I think that's where the debate is right there.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: It's funny, I looked it up a second ago, and
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: there are 4,000 data centers in the country built and
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: active already. I don't know how many more we need.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: It's getting to be a little bit silly. I don't
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: think all of them are even going to make it
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: or exist. I think this was just a rush to
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: get them up, to make the money on getting them up.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: But let's talk about something else, because I'm fascinated by this.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Congratulations to you, by the way. This is a great story.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: which seems to be getting a huge response. And I
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: see why a $ 15 antenna can still get you free
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: TV and sports. Explain.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: Well, this, uh, this actually started on the radio. I
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: got an email from a listener to my radio show saying, Hey, Rich,
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: you should.
• 21:15
  Speaker 12: Interview this guy.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: He's on YouTube. All he does is talk about antennas.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: You should have them on your radio show. And I
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: was like, ah, does anyone really use an antenna in 2026?
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: So I had them on the show and The name
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: is Antenna Man, by the way, on YouTube. We got
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: so much response. I got so many emails about all
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: these antennas. I ended up testing two of them that
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: he mentioned. This $ 15 antenna from Philips, by the way,
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: of all companies, you know, old school company, called Rabbit Ears.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: And then another one that was $ 35 from a company
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: called Flat Tenna. or the flat 10 up from channel master,
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: set them up in my house. All of a sudden
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: they're pulling in, you know, 98 channels, 115 channels.
• 21:53
  Speaker 12: Yeah, sure.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: A bunch of them I'm never going to watch, but
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: I was like reminded just how easy it is to
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: watch TV, watch your local news.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Even watch sports.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: All for free in a world where everything with streaming
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: services just keeps going up.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Whoa, wait a second. Wait a second. You got me
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: at watching sports because nowadays you can't find games because
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: they keep switching from like Amazon to CBS to Netflix.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: They keep switching around. Can you get NFL games for free?
• 22:25
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: Your local games are broadcast typically on a local channel.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: So you, If you are not out of state and
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: you want to watch your.
• 22:32
  Speaker 12: Local Jets, Giants, whatever, you should be able.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: To watch them over the air without needing a streaming subscription.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: In fact, what some people argue is that antenna is
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: better because they're not compressing the signal as much. You're
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: actually getting a higher quality signal. The downside is, of course,
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: if you want to record things or watch them later,
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: like a DVR, you'd still need that.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: And they have them.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: There's things called ZapperBox, HD Home Run, Tableau.
• 22:59
  Speaker 12: But if you're interested in all of this stuff, go
• 23:02
  Speaker 12: to my website, check it out. But the website to.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: Go to is called ravidears.info. You pop in your home address,
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: and it will tell you the channels you're expected to
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: receive and also where to aim the antenna. And a
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: little hint, you could use the Compass app on your
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: phone to line.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Up the antenna.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: Moving it a foot or two really makes a big difference.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: And if you live within 30 miles of a TV tower,
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: which is a lot of people in New York City area,
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: You know, you only need an indoor antenna. You don't
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: need one of these big outdoor antennas on the top
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: of your roof or something like that.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: And no monthly subscription.
• 23:34
  Speaker 12: It can't go up. I mean, what are you going
• 23:36
  Speaker 12: to do?
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: Come to your house and collect more money?
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: It seems like everybody does.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: So just asking.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: So now, Rich, you've made me very nostalgic. Late 60s,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: early 70s. I'm a teenager in Canarsie. We had the
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: rabbit ears up on the roof of the house. to
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: get UHF channels that were, like, before cable.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: You know, they always come in grainy.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: So if I were to climb on top of my
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: apartment building and do the rabbit ears thing, could it
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: somehow bring back UHF channels?
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: I used to love them.
• 24:08
  Speaker 12: Well, I think I'm not an expert in spectrum, but
• 24:11
  Speaker 12: I think those.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Channels still exist, but just in a different way.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Like, I think they're all.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: Merged into the channel lineup, which for me went from, like,
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: channel two to, like, a channel, like, a hundred and
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: two or something like that. So, and there's also sub
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: channels now, which are digital, you know, these four dot one,
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: four dot two, four dot three. So, I mean, there's
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: a whole bunch of stuff out there. Again, some of
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: it is not going to appeal to everyone, but you
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: can watch your local news. You can watch your local programming.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: And on a lot of these sub channels, they have
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: other types of programming, whether it's like court TV, whether
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: it's old reruns of you know, sitcoms and things like that.
• 24:45
  Speaker 12: So just put it this way.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: For $ 15, you plug it in at your house. You
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: will be so impressed with how much free stuff you
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: can watch even in 2026.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: It's great information. Just real quick. As you know, everybody
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: in my house is an Apple person. I'm fascinated by
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: this home view. If I get that, what does it do?
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: So this is basically like a giant kind of oversized
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: screen for your home sitting on top of a speaker.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: This is brand new from Apple. It is their big
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: entree into controlling the smart home. You can do all
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: the typical stuff. Obviously, it could be a slideshow of
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: your pictures when you're not using it. You can follow
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: recipes on it, monitor your cameras, look at your calendar,
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: play music. It comes in two varieties, one that sticks
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: onto your wall or one that actually just sits on
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: your countertop. Both are $ 300. This will be available November 13th.
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: And basically, it's kind of like The answer to what
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: Amazon has with their Echo devices and also what Google
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: has had for a long time with their Nest and
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: Home devices, it's just kind of a speaker slash display
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: control system for your entire smart home.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: And everybody's connected? Everybody in the house is connected to it?
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: That's the interesting thing. They're using facial recognition. Up to
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: six people in the house, when you walk up to
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: this little screen, it recognizes who you are. and only
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: shows your information. So it's completely personalized, which is kind
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: of a big feature that a lot of people are
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: talking about when it comes to this.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Because that's useful in the house.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: You don't want your kids looking at your emails or
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: your texts or your photos, whatever.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: It's all personalized. Oh, yeah, really good point. Rich DeMuro,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Rich on Tech, is heard Sunday nights from 9 to
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: 11 on WOR. At Rich on Tech on Instagram is
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: where you can reach out to him. Coming up next, thanks, Rich.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Natalie Migliore talks to New Yorkers about their concerns and
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: thoughts on leadership in New York State. Natalie's next.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Now, it's 710 WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Well, we just had a gubernatorial debate between Bruce Blakeman
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: and Kathy Hochul, so it's a great time to ask
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: New Yorkers their thoughts on the leadership in New York State.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: For that, we go to Natalie Migliore and her beat
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: on the street. Natalie.
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: When did we come up with gubernatorial as like such
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: a word?
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Like the word gubernatorial. It's
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: been around kind of forever.
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: I know. But why did we say– why wasn't it
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: just governors?
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Governors. Governors race.
• 27:16
  Speaker 12: I know.
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: But actually, sometimes we're not– Whatever, it doesn't matter. I
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: was going to say, our newswire tells us to avoid
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: it because not everybody says it. Not everybody knows what
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: gubernatorial is.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Isn't that interesting? That is fascinating.
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: So I'm always like, governorship, or dancing around it when
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: I'm actually.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: But anyway, I digress.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Look, it's a multi-syllabic word. Some of us, we have
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: a difficult time with that.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: I do. I can't say it. Oh, please, just try
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: one time. The essay, gubernatorial.
• 27:47
  Speaker 8: There you.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: The SAT word of the day.
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: Anyway, last night's hour-long debate was the only one New
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: Yorkers are expected to get, okay, with the two political
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: opponents trading barbs over ICE policies, affordability, and a slew
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: of other issues. So the debate only aired on New
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: York One. Some clips are circulating social media between Governor
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: Hochul and Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, her Republican challenger.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: And people are just waking up. So did they watch it?
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: And are they following this race?
• 28:23
  Speaker 10: No, not really. I know there is a contender, a guy.
• 28:27
  Speaker 10: That's what I saw. As I said, I don't watch
• 28:30
  Speaker 10: the news. I just see some, you know, on my
• 28:33
  Speaker 10: cell phone eventually.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Not too much. A little bit, but not too much.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: Can I ask you, is that because you might be
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: decided on who you're voting for already?
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: I'm hoping for Holcomb. My mind is pretty well made up.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: And all my friends are going to vote for Blakeman
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: as well. Because we've got to get rid of Holcomb.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: She ruined this state.
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: We're the highest taxed state in the country.
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: There's a lot she can do other than send out these,
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: what is it, $ 200, $ 150 checks or something. She definitely
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: should step up to the plate more.
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the governor announced she would be sending checks of
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: up to $ 200 to every qualifying New Yorker to offset
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: the cost of high utility bills. If you haven't gotten
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: yours yet, keep checking your mailbox through the end of
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: the year. I'm still checking my mailbox.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: So it's a bribe.
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: Yours.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Come on. Call it what it is, a bribe.
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: That is what some people would say, including you, Curtis.
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: Have you gotten your check? Are you expecting one?
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: I don't handle that. The wife does, Nancy.
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: Okay, we'll have to ask Nancy soon.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: But.
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: Blakeman took her to task over high prices while she
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: went at him. about his support for ice that's been
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: a big issue for the governor ice and and recently
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: local law enforcement banning local law enforcement from working with
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: federal agencies across or not federal agencies but ice agents
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: across the state but not one person on the street
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: mentioned immigration policy as a worry.
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: My number one concern is the safety for the riders
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: of the MTA system. It seems that they're more concerned
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: with you paying your fare, which as you should pay
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: your fare. But at the same time, it's scary riding
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: the trains.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: It's very scary.
• 30:14
  Speaker 10: Well, unfortunately, at least in New York City, conditions I
• 30:18
  Speaker 10: think are getting worse. You see homeless on the streets,
• 30:22
  Speaker 10: a lot of garbage. For me, I feel a sense
• 30:26
  Speaker 10: of insecurity. Probably those are the less worries for governors
• 30:33
  Speaker 10: because they are more interested in some other issues, budgets,
• 30:38
  Speaker 10: and politics in general.
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: Well, Governor Hochul has delivered a late budget every year
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: since she's been in office. So that is something that
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: she's had to focus on if that's the case. But
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: polls show the debate may not mean much for these
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: two candidates since a recent Marist poll revealed only 5%
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: of surveyed voters are undecided three weeks out from Election Day.
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: New Yorkers know what they want from their leaders.
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: People who care about New York, who care about the
• 31:07
  Speaker 8: United States and want to make it a better place.
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: Well, I don't think whether it's Democratic or Republican, I
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: think it's more who's going to support the country.
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: Blakeman is a friend of mine, and he's a great guy,
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: and I think he's going to win.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: He's honest. He's going to get the taxes, the electric bill.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: You know, everything is so high, so up. And I
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: truly believe that once the war is over, the price
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: of gas is going to drop under $ 2. Not that
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: the governor has any control over that.
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: They could put a gas cap, a tax cap on gas,
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: but the price of gas comes from the federal, you know.
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: what's going on overseas.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: But gas, but other energy costs, they do have control over.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: And I think that came up several times in the debate.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: And I think that's what he was talking about as well.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: But you're right, gas, he doesn't. Natalie Migliore, WOR reporter
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: with us every day at this time. And she's going
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: to be back at this very time tomorrow at 7.50.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: With not a gubernatorial. Now you're going to say it
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: over and over again. She has a new word. There
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: you go.
