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

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, Larry, look who's back. It's our producer Natalie, who
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: had been gone for two days. And I must admit,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I couldn't have been more hopelessly wrong, I assume. Like some,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: not all.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Wait a second. You may not have been wrong. She
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: might be putting on an act.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: You mean in terms of being the no-show lottery winner
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey?
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, think about it. If somebody won, they would
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: continue to act normal. So you wouldn't know that they won.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Well, look, I thought it was a partnership. The board operator, Izzy,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: for Mark Simone, just happened to work at the Wegmans
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: in Montvale where the winning ticket was sold. No doubt
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: a partnership between Natalie, who wasn't going to schlep all
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the way there, but probably figured, hey, that's a high-end district.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I'll get a ticket there because New Jersey, there's always
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the luck of the Irish in New Jersey and these lottos.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: Could have been a partnership.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Have you ever been to the Wegmans in Montville? Yes.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: That's a yes. The hesitation is a yes.
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: I don't live far.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, really? And Wegmans is great, isn't it?
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: It's a great supermarket.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: See, there you go.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Lots of salad, lots of fruits and vegetables that you
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: love because she has to have her salad first. Remember,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: you've indicted yourself on this.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: What car did you drive in with today? Do you
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: have a new car?
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: No, I have a new phone, though.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: Oh, first step.
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: I am still in my old Honda.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: And what would be your dream car if you could
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: buy a car in the next week?
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: Anything but my old.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: Top. So you do know, though, that Natalie, while you
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: were away those two days.
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: I've heard, I've heard, I've heard.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: There were certain people who were contacting me and saying,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: this makes all the sense.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: In the world.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: I am going to tell you the truth. If I
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: won that lottery.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: I would not be here.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Oh, Larry, that's hurtful.
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: I would leave you a nice text. Maybe I'd call.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: Maybe I'd even give you the first interview.
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: But I wouldn't be waking up to come to work
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: at 3 o'clock in the morning.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: You notice through all the things that she said she
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: would do, there was nothing about money in that?
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, sure, sure, sure, sure. Oh, you'd share?
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: A little, yeah.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: I have a lot of people to share.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: With Christmas coming up, you could have been Santa Claus
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: to all of us.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Yes, I could have.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: But I am not, so we can move on from that.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Well, wait a second.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Larry, give us the update because apparently if, in fact,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: you're not the winner, Natalie, with Izzy, who works at
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the Wegmans there in Montfield where the winning ticket was sold,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: if you're not, there's somebody out there who is. And
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: is there a chance, Larry, because you're our lotto expert,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: our Powerball expert, that this person may never surface, might
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: have bought a ticket, it was only one, And not
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: even know they had it or maybe discarded it in
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the garbage?
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: That has never happened with a big jackpot. But it's happened.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: It happens a lot. There are people that have won
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: $ 100, 000 that didn't come forward. And you have one year.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: You have one year to come forward or you lose
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the prize. But no, this person hasn't come forward yet.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: If I won.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: The first two people I'd see would be an attorney
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and a financial advisor.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Yes, for sure. But you know what?
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: Let's go back to Izzy.
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: A lot of people might not know Izzy because he's
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: a behind-the-scenes guy here at WOR. But I will tell you,
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: Izzy would be the person who would win, who would
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: keep coming to work. You wouldn't know because he comes
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: home with a smile every day. And he would quietly
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: probably help people out in the world.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Have you ever seen Izzy's Facebook?
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: Oh, Izzy is the most incredible person. And if he's public,
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: you should follow Izzy.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: He's very religious, and he gives these inspirational sermons on
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: his Facebook page.
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: He's the kind of person that makes you feel like
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: you're a bad person somehow.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Izzy's so good. When I was at WABC, when you
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: were there, I was doing the weekends, and every once
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: in a while when things would get really bad, I'd
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: ask Izzy, please... Just cheer us up. Give us something inspirational.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: And he would always start with brothers and sisters.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: He's a holy roller.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: But anyway, apparently that has not happened. What was the
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: winning prize again, Larry? How much money was on that ticket?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, man, off the top of my head.
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: It was in the 800s, and I think they were
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: coming home with somewhere around $ 365 million cash.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: That's crazy.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Pretty much on the money there, like you knew the
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: figures off the top of your head.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: You're the expert, and yet Natalie seemed to know the specificity.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: No, no, don't talk about Izzy. Let's talk about you.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: I'm deflecting, deflecting.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: This is camouflage.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Camouflage, you're coming in here trying to throw us off.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: That's true.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: So what will be the number on the check again?
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: When I see it, I'll let you know. By then,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Natalie and her family would have moved to the west
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: coast of Florida to be near your parents, your father,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: who's now mayor.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: No, he was.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: He was the first mayor of Estero, Florida, now retired.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: See?
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: You see what I'm talking about, Larry?
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: And would have this short window where she wouldn't change
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: her phone number, where we would call and we'd get this. Hello? Hi, Natalie,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: it's Larry.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Hello?
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: Hello?
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: I'd probably keep my phone number as a distraction, deflection.
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: And then have a separate phone number.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: You seem to plan a lot of this out. You
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: would be having brunch every day with John Gambling, retired
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: from here, who you were a producer to for so
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: many years. He went down to Florida.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: I'm just saying that area, big WOR listenership. Really big.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: So somebody out there could be it.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Anyway, let me flip the script to you, Larry. I
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: know you had gone through a Herculean period of broadcasting
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: here from the pre-marathon, the marathon, the post-marathon to the pre-midterms, uh,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: midterm reporting on the night of the debacle. I'll use
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: debacle if that's okay with you.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: And then obviously everything thereafter.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: And we went through a period in which on Friday,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and by the way, you need to do a wellness
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: call if you can, Natalie, now that you're back to
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: a very dear colleague, uh, Oh, I heard.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Did you hear him on the air?
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: He was so depressed. He was. Yeah, he's one of
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: the people that you would think we should send somebody
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: over to check on him.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: He described the loss, the midterm loss for the Republicans
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: as apocalyptic. I thought for sure he was on his
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: way to the George Washington Bridge.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: And I kept looking for him to raise me up,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: you know, to say, you know, pull me out of
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: these doldrums.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: Like, it's going to be OK.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: He was like in a deep darkness. Oh, yeah.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: He was.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Please just double check with him, Natalie. Then there was
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: DeSantis right out of the box. You know, he's running
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: for president. He called it an extinctionary moment, like as
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: if the GOP would be extinct. Others over the weekend
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: were saying it's like a media strike hit the GOP
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: across the nation.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: The hyperbole is so sickening. And what's the worst part
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: about it is that there are Republicans, as you mentioned,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: that are saying these things. And now with Rob, I
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: believe that he actually loses some money on this. So
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I can understand why Rob is so upset. With DeSantis...
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: he benefits from making it horrible. I mean, now he
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: is the savior that can come through the apocalypse and
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: save the Republican Party.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: You would have to admit, Larry, that even though a
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: month ago I said it would be a blue tsunami,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and that was the front page of the Post the
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: day after the election, that that's actually mild compared to
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: apocalyptic and an extinction and a meteor strike.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: It's not even the worst midterm defeat. It's far from
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: the worst midterm defeat. This has happened to almost every
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: president in the modern era. And so for all of
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: the sudden, for everybody to say, oh, this is the
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: biggest one ever. This is the earth moved. You know,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: it kind of sickens me because I think that, of course,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the media was going to. But even some Republicans have
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: fallen into the trap of saying, oh, it's a tsunami.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: It's the worst ever. This is earth shaking. Please, it's
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: nowhere near any of those things.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I must tell you, Larry, I had confided to Tom Cuddy,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: our program director, weeks ago that I was not listening
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: to talk radio or even the snippets of talk TV
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: any longer because, you know, it was an echo chamber.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: And I knew what was coming. I can't listen to
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: that propaganda machine. For me, this weekend was Liberation Day.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I love talk radio. I love talk TV. I saw
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: that some of these people were no longer genuflecting to Trump.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: You know, they didn't feel the need to say he
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: is the greatest president of all time, from Washington to
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: right now. Even you, Larry, to your credit, you said, no, no, no.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: He's not the greatest president of all time. I can
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: listen to talk radio and talk TV again. We can
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: get back to some normalcy, a little bit of dysfunction.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: But now... Normalcy.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: It's going to be the furthest thing from normalcy.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Well, in talk radio and talk TV, because now they
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: can be totally... focused instead of defending the indefensible at times,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: just attacking Hakeem Jeffries, the schmuck to putz, Chuck E.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: Cheese Schumer and the new majority.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I feel liberated.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: And the other thing I feel liberated is I am
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: a rhino. Everybody knows I am the leader of the rhinos.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: They call me Republican in name only. I've never been MAGA.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I'm free to be a rhino again. And so is
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: everybody else out there who pretended that they weren't. Because
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: just like the Democrats have a two-party system under the tent,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: moderate Democrats, DSA, Republicans should have MAGA and should have rhinos.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: No, I think you're misinterpreting what they mean when they
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: say rhino.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: What?
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: They mean you're actually a Democrat. They don't mean that
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: you're a Republican in any way. That you're a Republican
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: in name only because you were so much against the
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Republican Party. but you like to hold on to the name.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Well, we know DSA are really just socialists, so there's
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: room in the Republican Party for rhinos, and I declare myself.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: The leader of the rhinos.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: I'm so glad you're embracing it finally. Hey, guess what?
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: There's a new golf league. I know you're saying, oh,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: they've tried this before. This one's a little bit different.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: We'll explain when we come back. Plus, you have a
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: chance to see Tommy James and the Shondells at 825. Now,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: let's talk about LifeVac. Everybody else is. I mean, go
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: to Google. Just Google LifeVac. You'll see case after case
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: after case where LifeVac has saved a life just in
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: the last few months. There's been about a dozen of them.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: And every single time, it's a child. I've spent a
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: career covering this stuff, and it's heartbreaking when it's a child.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: And so choking is one of those incidents that can
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: turn into an emergency so quickly. And when it does,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: seconds matter. That's why I want to tell you about LifeVac.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: LifeVac is the first and only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: that can be used for second-line treatment when all the
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: recommended choking protocols, when you've tried everything else, they've been
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: followed without success. And here's what's remarkable. We're talking about
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: 7,000 lives worldwide that have been saved. Real people, real families,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: real second chances. Preparedness matters. Having the right tool nearby
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: can make all the difference in the world. So learn
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: more about LifeVac today at LifeVac.net. That's LifeVac.net. Visit LifeVac.net
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: and see how you can be ready. When it counts.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: Curtis Lewa and Larry Minty in the morning. The conversation continues.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: On 710WOR.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Well, belated happy birthday to you, Warner Wolf.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: Congratulations.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Belated? No, it hasn't been here yet.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: I'm looking at my calendar here.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Don't push me. Don't push.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Me.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Wednesday, right?
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Wednesday.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, I'm so old that my birthday comes on
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: what they call now Veterans Day. But it was originally
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Armistice Day commemorating the end of World War I. And
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: then Eisenhower changed it in 1954. So all wars could be,
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: you know, honored all the veterans of all the wars.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: Well, thank you.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Thank you for preemptively reminding all of us of that.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: But what about the war on the gridiron for the Giants?
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know, gosh, why don't they just show
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: us the last play of each game each week? They
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: go down to the wire every game. Certainly it was
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: not their finest hour, just four field goals, one touchdown,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: with a limping J.J. McCarthy and Jameis Winston, who may
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: be the best relief pitcher in football. But keep in
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: mind that the Giants are not playing Tom Brady. They
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: face Joe Milton III, who was a household name only
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: in his own household. But here's the question. The trading
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: deadline is 4 o'clock tomorrow. Will the Giants increase their offer,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: which apparently they say they took off the table, a
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: second round and a fifth round pick to the Colts
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: for Jonathan Taylor? Apparently the Colts want more. But if
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: you think it will be giving up too much, remember
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: the words of Redskin coach George Allen. Remember he traded
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: away all his future draft choices and said, don't worry
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: about it. The future is now. And then one year
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: later went to the Super Bowl. As far as the
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Jets go, somebody forgot to tell the Jets, you're supposed
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: to play two halves. Not one. The Jets being outscored
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: 21-0 in the second half, scoring only four field goals
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: and no touchdowns. The question remains, how long does Woody
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Johnson and his Johnson & Johnson family go with Aaron Glenn,
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: who's now 5-21 in his year and a half with
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: the Jets, including 2-7 this year, and then the Bills
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: coming up next Sunday, likely to go 2-8. The other
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: concern has to be Aaron Glenn's fading one-time skills as
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: a defensive genius calling plays. I mean, that's disappeared. As
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: a sports writer once said, he was supposed to be
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: a defensive guru. When does the guruing start? By the way,
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: the NFL, the favorites this week, won 13 out of
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: the 14 games. Only the Patriots were favorite and lost
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: to Green Bay. And the favorites beat the spread nine
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: out of 14. Well, it appears the college football officials
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: blew another one, disallowing Miami's potential tying touchdown with three
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: and a half minutes to go against Notre Dame, ruling
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: no touchdown after he went out of the end zone.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: But you know what? Gentlemen, the rule is clear. It
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: says right in the books, if a receiver, this is
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: college ball, catches the ball, and has complete possession, and
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: has at least one foot in the end zone, unlike
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: two in the NFL. Even if he goes out of
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: bounds after the touchdown, it's still a touchdown. But so what?
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Even if the NCAA comes out today and says, oops,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: we were wrong, unlike baseball where you can pick up
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: a point at protests, What are you going to do,
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: bring back Notre Dame and Miami and play three and
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: a half minutes? No, that's the way it's going to be.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: Warner, are you attributing this call to the luck of
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: the Irish?
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, well, that's what the Miami coach said. He said, boy,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: you better find a way to win. Yeah, you're playing
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame in Notre Dame in South Bend, yeah. Oh,
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: the sacrificial lamb of the week. Little Merrimack College played
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: powerful Wake Forest so they can get bigger bucks for
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: their athletic department. And they played them at Winston-Salem. They
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: lost 77 to nothing. 77 to nothing. So, if you
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: had Merrimack and 76 points, you lost. That's it.
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Hey, baseball, two Cleveland pitchers, including two-time American League reliever
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: of the year, Emmanuel Classe, they are now facing criminal
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: fraud charges here in New York for tipping off their
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: pitches to the gamblers, including whether or not the first
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: pitch would be a strike or a ball. And it worked,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: except for the time Classe purposely threw his first pitch
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: into the dirt as he had promised, but the batter
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: swung at it and missed for a strike. But there's
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: another problem. You know, when I was growing up, and
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know about you two guys, you're younger, you
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: bet on football was point spreads for football. That was it. Odds, baseball,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: it was odds or runs, depending on who the pitcher
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: was that day. and point spreads for basketball. But now,
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: with gambling outlets like DraftKings and Sportsbook and FanDuel, you
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: can bet on anything, anytime. And that's one of the
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: problems here.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: Well, they like to call it exotic bets.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: You know, as opposed to the mainstream bets that you
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: described that everybody knows the degenerate gamblers were stuck by.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Now you can bet, as you said, on everything.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Everything. Oh, yeah.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, and I've got the boo of the week.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: And this, man, this is horrible. This goes to Major
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: League Baseball for continually trying out new changes in the
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: minor leagues to see if it will eventually work in
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: the major leagues. You know, like this, the robot home
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: plate umpire. the phony ghost runner at second base for
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: extra inning games. Well, here's a new one. They tried
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: it out in the Arizona Fall League. I can't believe this.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: In an effort to get more doubles and triples in
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: the gap, the left and right fielders must play closer
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: to the fair line, or foul line if you wish,
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: before each pitch, and the center fielder must play a
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: shallow center field closer to the infield. And the new
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: lines will be marked by green paint. Any breaking of
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: the rule will result in the batter being awarded first base.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: What a farce. Man, this makes a mockery of the game.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: How about in the batting averages? Remember, you know, can
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: you imagine what the great hitters of the past would
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: have done with a rule like this? You know, Mays
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: and Williams and Musial, Clemente DiMaggio. If this changed have
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: been used when they played, they all would have hit
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: over 400 every year. As you would say, say it, Curtis, Disgracia.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: Oh, Disgracia.
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: It's a shanda. A shanda on a wolf.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: All right. Thank you, gentlemen.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Well, we're going to blow out the candles for you,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: all 12 of them, coming up on your birthday.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: 12 of them.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: That's significant.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: One for every decade.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, I get it. Wow, that's not right. That's not right.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: Well, November 11th, 1937.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Is that 12?
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Very good.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Don't count on us for math and anything. Wait a minute.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: How about this? Natalie's four days older than me.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. Well, she worked with all three. She worked
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: with all three gamblings. The great-grandfather.
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: That's right.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: I started. Come on.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: 1922.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: Thanks a lot, Warner and Nat.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: Curtis Lewa and Larry Minty.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: They're better together.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: On 710WOR.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Now here's the thing about Pete Hegseth. You're going to
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: hear all this talk about impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, and
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: it probably is going to happen. He's going to be impeached,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: but I don't believe that there's a world where he
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: is removed from office. So he's going to be just
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: like President Trump in the first term. He'll be impeached,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: but he'll continue on as the Secretary of War. Impeachment,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: articles of impeachment have already been introduced, and it's by
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: an outgoing Republican, Thomas Massey of Kentucky, reintroduced a privileged
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: resolution containing eight, eight, count them, eight articles of Hegseth
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: related to Iran, Venezuela, Yemen, violation of the War Powers
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Resolution of 1973. And recently... The incoming Speaker of the
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: House said he is a hard yes on the impeachment proceedings.
• 22:54
  Speaker 8: The so-called Secretary of Defense has abused his power, undermined
• 22:59
  Speaker 8: our national security, and engineered this reckless and costly war
• 23:03
  Speaker 8: of choice in Iran, which has skyrocketed prices on the
• 23:07
  Speaker 8: American people and made the country less safe. Pete Hegseth
• 23:11
  Speaker 8: has got to go.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: Well, he won't go.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: There's not a world where he's going to go. They're
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: going to need at least 67 votes, and they don't
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: have those votes. And there's enough Republicans that will vote
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: against removing him from office, vote against a conviction. But
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: it's going to be really fascinating. By the way, Donald
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Trump in the 60 Minutes interview defended Pete Hegseth, saying
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: that he has won two wars. He's talking about Iran
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: and Vietnam. And Pete Hegseth responded as well.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: But of course, the other side, in case you've noticed,
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: they're obsessed.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: A disgruntled, defeated congressman, along with all his Democrat allies,
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: has also dropped sham articles of impeachment against yours truly.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Just like they tried against President Trump twice. At the
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: very least, it's going to be entertaining. I don't know
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: if you remember Pete Hegseth's appearance in front of the
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: House of Representatives, which is going to happen first as
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: part of the investigation. There's going to be this interrogation
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: by Democrats. And if you remember, Pete Hegseth is very combative.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: And Pete Hegseth will hold his own.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Stop.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Based on the— Stop. reclaiming my time.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Because you yell doesn't make you right.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Are you calling this administration about the economy? You know
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: what is upsetting?
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: Incredible.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Well, I would say the blockade that we hold that
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: doesn't allow anything to come in or out of Iranian ports.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: Okay, so we've blockaded their blockade.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: So they blockaded us, and then we blockaded their blockade.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: Oh, you care a lot about President Trump, don't you?
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: This is a cute waste of your five minutes. A huge, cute.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: So we're going to expect more of that. The very
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: least is going to be entertaining. Listen, I believe that
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: the Democrats are not going to try to impeach Donald Trump.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: I think they know that hurt them the last time
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: they did it. But they need to show their base.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: They need to show the DSA. They need to show
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: the non-DSA who are still angry that they're going to
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: take on this administration. And I believe Pete Hegseth is
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: going to be the sacrificial lamb. And so there will
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: be an impeachment trial in the Senate. There will be
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: impeachment proceedings in the House. He will be impeached by
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: the House, but he's going to keep his job in
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: the end. So it's all theater.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: But you're going to see a lot of Republicans jump
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: ship and want to impeach him on the issue of
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: him letting go.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: How many do you let me hear your guess on that?
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: How many how many do you think that there's enough
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: in the Senate that will jump?
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: No, I do.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: You think there's going to be 67 votes? I do,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: and for the reason that you didn't mention. There are
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of valuable men that were released from their
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Pentagon duties that were loved by Republicans, veterans themselves. We're
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: not talking about DEI hires. You always like to say that. No,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: valuable personnel. There's a lot of problems in the Pentagon
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: now because he is known as just being, if you
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: criticize him, that's it, you're gone. So I think you're
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: going to see a lot of blowback on that. I
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: would love to do a bet on that. I would
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: bet you anything he's not going to be removed from office.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: If they bring some of these esteemed men to give testimony,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: that's going to have a very damning effect on him
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: because we're not now talking about what he says or whatever.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: It's what he does as the Secretary of War in
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: the Pentagon.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: But something has to rise to an impeachable offense, almost criminal.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: It almost has to be a criminal offense or an
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: abuse of power. And I just don't. Listen, I listen
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: to the Republican senators all the time. Most of them
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: have come out in support of him. So I'm not
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: sure you're going to be able to get 67 votes.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, let's just say it's 55 Democrats. You're going
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: to need to get 12 Republicans?
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Well, let's see how it goes. Meantime, the schmuck to putz,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Chuck E. Cheese Schumer, was the focus of a no-kings
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: rally over the weekend. So was Hakeem Jeffries. But we
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: know Hakeem Jeffries... is going to become the incoming Speaker
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: of the House, and I'm going to whack him. But,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: oh boy, the schmuck to putz Chuck E. Cheese Schumer
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: could be whacked by Democrats. Those that are incoming have
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: all said, that's it. We're telling you right on the
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: record now, we do not want him to become the
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: majority leader of the United States Senate. There are those
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Democrats who have hated having to work with him. His
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: only saving grace, I can tell you from past experience,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: is that this guy is the J.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: Edgar Hoover of politics.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: What was that famous program that was on Netflix about Washington, D.C.?
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: You remember it was about the intrigue in Washington, D.C.
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: What was that, Crash? Art Savant? House of Cards. House
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: of Cards. Oh, that's right. This is Chuck Schumer. He
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: keeps a file on everybody. I mean, everybody.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: He hires people that do negative research, not just on foes,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: but on friends.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: He's got a file on everybody.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: All you would have to do is speak to Michael Steele,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: who is running for the Senate as a Republican, African-American
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Republican in Maryland, and he will tell you of the
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: just negative research that was triggered by the schmuck to
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: putz Chuck E.
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: Cheese Schumer.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: So if you try to take him out, he will then,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: through his contacts, begin to filter out in the media
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: very unfavorable stories about you with linkage. some of his
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: research and he won't have his fingerprints on it.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: That's his history.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: The problem he has is all the new Democrats want
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: him out. Here's Troy Jackson.
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: Would you support Chuck Schumer for majority leader?
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: I've already said that I told Senator Schumer that I'm,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: you know, going to support somebody else.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: So there's no different now.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: And Andrews. When you were campaigning, you said we're not
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: going to vote for Chuck Schumer for majority leader. He's
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: going to have a bigger majority now. Are you still
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: have that vote?
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: I still very much believe that it's time for generational
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: change on both sides of the aisle. Call him if
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: he wins in Mississippi.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Too many of our leaders are from the same areas
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: of the country.
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: It's not a good thing that both Leader Schumer and
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: Leader Jeffries both live in the same borough. And it
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: goes on and on. El Sayed, Tallarico. It's person after person.
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: All the newcomers in won him out. And They have
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: some power now. They have some influence over the Democratic Party.
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: So it's going to be fascinating to see what happens.
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: Last week, I thought there's no way that's going to happen.
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: The calciads on it are like 92 percent. He's going
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: to he's going to win out. I still think in
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: the end he's going to win out, but he's going
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: to have a lot of headwinds.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Larry, when they meet with him, the minority leader, he'll
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: still be the minority on their first visit to D.C.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: to acclimate themselves. I'll say you see this file. I'm
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: going to give this to you. It came across my desk. Boy,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I think you would hate to see any of this
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: information see.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: The light of day. Comprendo? You think it's going to
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: be that blatant? Oh, he does this all the time.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: I've heard the horror stories, and we're not just talking Republicans.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: We're talking about fellow Democrats. Anyway, iHeartRadio wants you to
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: know about an exciting game on Monday Night Football this week.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills take on the Minnesota Vikings in a
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: battle of one-loss teams. That's tonight, Monday Night Football, live
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: from Minneapolis, 8-15, tonight only on ESPN.
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: I hate to tell you, I told you so.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: So many Republicans who thought there would be a tsunami
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: of Jewish floats coming on over because of Zoran and El-Said.
