  Speaker 1: Styling and profiling today. You know, normally, Larry and Natalie,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: when I join you in studio here as part of
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the I Heart Confab, I'm either wearing the red sateen
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: jacket or occasionally my blue sateen jacket that says the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: People's Mayor. Yeah. You know, with my name on it,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: you know, obviously very narcissistic. You are always dressed in character. Definitely.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: And always the red beret. Yes, absolutely. But can you describe,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: both Larry and Natalie, the accoutrements that now are part
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: of my fashionista look today?
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll just say that when I first saw you,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I thought, well, he's either going to a wedding or
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: he's going to a funeral. That's what I thought. But
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: then I thought, well, maybe you actually wear the guardian
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: angel stuffs to weddings and funerals, so.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's not that. You're correct. Yeah, see? So then
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking, well, maybe it's not that. Is he trying.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Well, then you'd have to take the beret off to
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: sneak into somewhere.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Which I did remember in the two debates. Remember how
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: people said, you take that beret off, I'll vote for you.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Less people voted for me in 2025 than 2021.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Curtis, you were on with Larry one morning and we
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: had a talkback that said that.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: We had several talkbacks.
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: Yes, and we mentioned that to you and then we
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: felt bad that you did it. We're like, oh no.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Well, I did it because I figured, look, I wore
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the beret against Eric Adams all the time. All these
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: people are saying, I would have voted for you if
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: you took the red beret off.
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Guess what? I got two-thirds less votes this time around. Yeah,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: that really works.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: What's funny is all those talkback people were convinced if
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: you just took the beret off.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: And then in the debates, they went, oh, maybe not.
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: And maybe not. But the reason that I'm styling and
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: profiling today, as you know. Full suit. Nice suit, by
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the way. Thank you. It is a big day for
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: all the animal welfare people who have dedicated their lives
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to ending the horse carriage industry and sending the horses
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: out to pasture. There is a bill that will do
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: that today that will be debated and voted on in
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the city council. But it's a fait accompli. You don't.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: enter a bill on the floor if you're the speaker,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: as Julie Menon is, without having the votes. But they
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: have a big rally at 12 noon in City Hall Park.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Was never invited. Now, I don't expect to speak, but,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: you know, we'd like to acknowledge Curtis because... He and
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: his wife were in the forefront of this. Thank you
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: very much. Yeah. Haven't been invited to be up in
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the peanut gallery, you know, where obviously people are forced
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to sit and they're not able to boo or applaud.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: You know, they have to do one of those. That's
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: not right. And I'm saying to myself, wow. So maybe
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: if I just come in a suit and tie with
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the beret, like I did in the campaign and, They're
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: not going to be able to come up with an excuse. Well,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you're not the people's mayor. That's an insult to Zoran Mondami,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: who's in City Hall. So I figured I'm going to
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: eliminate all possibilities of why they might keep me out
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: for that historic vote.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I'm a little disappointed because I put out a public
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: plea yesterday to Vicky Palladino, who is going to be
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: at that rally to invite you. And I know she listens.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: So I'll do it one more time. Vicky, it is
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: a wrong. It's a wrong that can easily be righted.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: And all you need to do is call Curtis, call
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the station and let us know. Yeah, no, please come.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: We'll acknowledge you because it really is a slight and
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: it's a big oversight on your part. Well, they can
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: be fixed easily. She stood with the horse carriage owners
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: yesterday in City Hall. They're going to apparently go for
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: a temporary restraining order. But the one person who's no
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: longer in council who would have done this is Robert Holden.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: He is a true believer. That's why I was able
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: to speak at that city council chamber. In fact, Natalie,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you got to repost that. When I hit the two-minute
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: mark and they yanked the microphone right from me because
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the chairwoman, Lynn Shulman, the councilwoman- who hates me and
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: actually hates the animal welfare people, but was forced to
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: do it by Julian Mennon, yanked the microphone and everybody
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: went crazy and started applauding. I'll throw you all out. No,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: you won't, lady. So I'm going to come in suit
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and tie and see if they try to keep me
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: out of the rally or keep me out of the
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: historic vote. And we'll be here tomorrow. Remember the guy
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: who pioneered this? They never mentioned his name. Our own
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Barry Gray, who invented talk radio here at WOR, was
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the first to take on that issue. But it's not horses.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: It's not the Wild West, you know, where a guy
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: would be riding along and then all of a sudden,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: you know, pull out a six shooter and start shooting
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: at another guy in a horse. What a road rage
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: incident on the George Washington Bridge, at least the upper
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: level entrance from the Manhattan side. We're getting all the details, man.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: And I know a lot of our listeners out there, Larry,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: because you're in their cars now listening. have probably experienced
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: a road rage incident or felt that, man, my life
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: is in jeopardy. I've really pushed this a little too far. Absolutely. Here,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I'm shocked.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I actually looked up the statistics on road rage. 96%
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: of drivers have witnessed or been engaged in road rage. 89%
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: report being a victim of an aggressive driver. 37% of
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: aggressive driving and road rage incidents involve a firearm. 37%.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: That is scary. Leading to 116 road rage related deaths
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: in a single year across the country.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: And there's, go ahead.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: I was going to say, I was telling you earlier,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: that is one of my biggest fears is that if I,
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: you know, cut somebody off by accident.
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: I mean, it happens, right?
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: You know, you don't realize you did something and then
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: the person starts going nuts and then you start waving
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: your hand that somebody would.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: Have a weapon and just do exactly what we saw
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: that happened on the GWB.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Or try to run you off the road. There's a million.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Things that they can do.
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: They chase you.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: I mean, everybody's seen that.
• 6:07
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: No, I've had that. I've had that happen.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: I'm on the turnpike every single day, and I've seen
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: it every single day, especially the people that pull up
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: like inches from you and back of you.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: And then you could see them window to window, and
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: they're staring at you, and they're pointing at you.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Here's some tips on what to do in those situations.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Avoid eye contact, which I always look right at the people.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: But not good.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Returning rude hand gestures, which you just said you did.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: It wasn't a rude hand gesture.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: But you– Yeah, you waved them off.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Or yelling back. Create space. Safely slow down. Change lanes
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: or let the aggressive driver pass. Do not go home
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: if they're following you.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's good advice.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Drive to the nearest police station or a well-lit public
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: space instead of heading home and then call 911. The
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: last one is one that I'm embarrassed about. It says
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: consider a dash cam so you can record the whole thing.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: The reason I'm embarrassed about it is because my daughter
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: gave me one for Christmas and I never installed it.
• 7:09
  Speaker 9: Oh, really?
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and she's very insulted by that.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I've never thought about having that, but it's probably
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: a good idea.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Well, you don't want to do that because it records
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: all your conversations, as we saw with the two terrorist
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: kids from Bucks County on their way to throw those
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: bombs outside of Gracie Ranch. You remember? Their entire conversation
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: was recorded by the dash cam, unbeknownst to them. They're guilty.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: They're going away forever. But let me make mention there
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: was a great episode with Larry David. He's in the car,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and apparently he cut off a biker. And the biker
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: comes up on his side. And then Larry David reaches over,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: puts on the MAGA cap as the biker is screaming
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: and yelling at him. And then the biker goes, oh,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry.
• 7:51
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Thumbs up. One of the great episodes.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: Smart.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: But let's give the details of what happened. A retired
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: NYP narcotics detective. He retired in 2001 after getting into
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: a shootout with three gunmen while he was off duty
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: at his family's laundromat in Brooklyn. He got hit in
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the chest. He got hit in the hand. Victor Romero.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: And then he had to take a disability pension. So
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: he was out of the department for 2001. But he
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: became a driver. They call it executive protection, corporate security.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Lives in Havistraw, New York, in Rockland. He's assigned to
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: protect and drive around executives. So you would think the
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: guy's cool, calm, and collected. Well, not on this occasion.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: As he was going up, you know, a lot of
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: people listening right now, he's on the Manhattan side. He's
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: going up to the upper deck. A lot of times,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: you know, the traffic conflates. It goes lower deck, upper deck,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: and then there's that way you can actually go towards
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the Cross Bronx Expressway, which... At times you see people
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: like really starting to argue with one another. And there
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: was another guy, Corin Irvine, who had grown up in Flatbush,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: worked for Con Ed. He was in a Volkswagen dark
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: blue hatchback. And apparently some kind of road rage incident
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: occurred at that location before they even got onto the bridge.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: And this poor guy, Corrin, a bullet came through the
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: back windshield that they attribute to the former detective, the
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: guy named Victor Romero. He gets shot in the shoulder.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: You could survive that. But the bullet then goes right
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: into his head.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, geez.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: And then he crashes halfway across the bridge because he's
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: trying to drive across the bridge. Because where are you
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: going to stop on the bridge? Crashes into the pole.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: They take him to Englewood Hospital. And unfortunately, he died.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: But a road rage incident like so many others. That's
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: why Nancy oftentimes will yell at me. Well, you you
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: drive because when she's behind the wheel, God forbid, she
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: thinks she was cut off. She starts beeping the horn,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: speeding up. She wants to go side by. side and
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: start giving the finger. Oh, no, no, no, no. Don't
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: do that. Nancy, would you please calm down? I'll give
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: you some Prozac. Don't make an incident out of this.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: If my wife's exactly the opposite, she's the one that
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: causes road rage all the time. And she's not sure
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: why she doesn't know.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: What she's doing. She like Mr. Magoo.
• 10:18
  Speaker 11: It is.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: It's exactly the case. I'll talk to her on the phone.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: There's some guy that's really upset with me. He's pulled
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: up next to me. He's yelling out of his window.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure what I did. And I said, well,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: just ignore them. Just don't look at them. No, I said,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what I did. I just, I mouthed,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. But this, every time I talk to her,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: there's one of these people. Yeah. Beeping the horn, speeding
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: up or giving the finger. I mean, that's the universal language.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: F you, you might set it off right there. Or
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: what the hell are you doing? The hands go up.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Put your hands on the wheel.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: So listen, I'm sure everybody out there has dealt with
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: a road rage incident of some kind. So you can
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: go to the I heart radio app, leave us a
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: talk back. You could win a Curtis Lee when Larry
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: mentee in the morning t-shirt, that's going to be awarded
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: every day to our favorite talk back of the morning.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: While you're there, set up a Set while you're on
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: the free iHeartRadio app. Set a preset for 710WOR. And
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: don't forget, the best talk back of the week takes
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: home a C-Crane radio.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Up next. Oh, yeah, Natalie. Where were you at the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Harry Styles concert in Madison Square Garden? Well, guess who
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: was there? The Mr.
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: Nick.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: That's why they probably lost the game. We'll get into that.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: And the ring that you need an 18-wheel tractor trailer
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: to carry around. The Nick Championship ring that Natalie is
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: continuing to talk about. Plus a chance to see Journey
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: at 825. You know what my theory is, Larry, and
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I've said it over and over. That the world champion
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: New York Knicks will not go on to defend their
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: championship because all of the distractions. They're being invited everywhere.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, a bar mitzvah, you know, wedding, you know,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the agent gets a fee, they get a fee. But
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the other night, who did I see there in the crowd?
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Not Natalie, who's like the number one groupie of Harry
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Styles in his residential appearances in Madison Square Garden. But Mr.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: MVP of the Knicks. What the hell is he doing
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: at a concert when he should be resting his tired legs?
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: As his coach Mike Brown said, you know, our starting five,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: they look like their legs were stuck in mud as
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the sixes were running up and down on our starting
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: five and pushing them right into the ground. Hey, Natalie,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: where were you? There were all women and one man, Brunson.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: It was actually the week after, I believe, I went.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: But Curtis, it was like 10 days before.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Doesn't matter.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: But was he supposed to be resting and not moving.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: For 10 days? I am telling you, these guys, and
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: not even just the starting five, but the scrubs that
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: you can't even pronounce their names, are being asked to
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: go to all different kinds of places. That begins to
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: wear on your body.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: James Harden went to the clubs and got drunk every
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: night until 6.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: In the morning, and he won the league's MVP. How
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: do you do for the Cavaliers in this last go-round? Well,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: now he's like 80. Let me make mention of the
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: more important issue, which is Natalie's fascination at these World
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Championship New York Knick rings. I'm obsessed. I'm obsessed with
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: that ring.
• 13:39
  Speaker 12: I really am.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: That is some piece of hardware. It's incredible.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: And how much is it worth?
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: Well, there was one jeweler that estimated, you know, doesn't
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: have the ring in his hand or anything. It was
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: a quarter of a million dollars per ring.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Quarter of a million dollars on their finger.
• 13:57
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: And it's a fold-out. It's like the new phones, you know,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: fold-out phone, right? Yes, exactly.
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: It's like a flip phone.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: So because it raises up to make it look like the,
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: you know, Madison Square Garden. You can twist off the
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: top and you can see inside the court.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: It opens up, it.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Just opens up like, remember the old decoder rings you
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: used to get in, what do they call it?
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Cracker Jacks.
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: Cracker Jack boxes.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Cracker Jack boxes. That's what it's like. It opens up.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: It's pretty cool.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: But it has, you know, diamonds and sapphires and.
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: That is one incredible ring.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: It has the court from Madison Square Garden with the
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: baskets and the crowd.
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: And Harry Styles right in the middle.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: I think they're missing Harry Styles.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: You are Harry Styles obsessed. I am. Let me make
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: a prediction. And this won't happen with Jalen Brunson, you know,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: the stars. They'll have bodyguards with them wherever they go,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: especially when they go to a club. But some of
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the scrubs, they're going to want to impress the ladies
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: and They're going to wear their world championship ring, and
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: some of the homies inside are going to get on
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: their cell and say, man, when he comes out, they're
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: going to see he's got no security. Let's jack him up.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: And this has happened before.
• 15:07
  Speaker 13: Really?
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I hope.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: I hope they don't go out in it.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: For them, they don't wear that ring when they go
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: to the club because by the time they get out,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: they may be minus the ring.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: And I know I'm Harry Styles obsessed, but there was
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: a story this morning that's just popping up that TMZ
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: got a video of Harry. It must have just been
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: this week. Yelling, or it looks like he was in
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: a confrontation with somebody. So apparently, a guy came up
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: to him and wanted him to sign an album.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: And it looks like he.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: Wouldn't sign it because... a lot of these people go
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: out there and do that to resell it. And, you know,
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: he probably didn't want to do it because then his
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: fans are going to be paying a ridiculous amount of
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: money for something. And it was an interesting, you're going
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: to be seeing that video.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Around a lot. Did he get into a fight, though?
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Did he actually?
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: Oh, pointing, face-to-face, like, pointing. But it did look like
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: he had security with him.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: We should do a Harry Styles segment that you do
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: every day.
• 15:57
  Speaker 14: I could do that.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I know you'd be into it, too. Like 30 seconds
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: on Harry Styles.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Natalie, can I ask you a question? You were born
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: and raised in Staten Island, Staten, Italy. You ended up
• 16:09

• 16:16
  Speaker 1: who's like, I don't even know what his sexuality is
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: when you look at Harry Styles?

  Speaker 1: gotten the Nielsen numbers. This is what we live and
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: die by. And we can thank our listeners, Larry and Natalie,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: because Nielsen has reported our September ratings, along with Mark Simone,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: you know, does 9 to 10. And we had an
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: incredible ratings growth in the important demos. So from 6
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: in the morning when we wake our listeners up, Larry
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: and Curtis, To Mark Simone, who takes you to 12 noon.

  Speaker 1: you know, Tom said we should take this moment to
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: thank the many who are tried and true WR listeners.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Remember when Natalie first came on years ago as the
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: producer for the grandfather gambling and then the father and
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: then John himself. She's been an institution here. How old

• 21:14
  Speaker 1: and true WOR listeners loyal to 710, and then there
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: are a lot of refugees from where I used to be, WABC,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: which is now standing for not always broadcasting Curtis like
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: it did for 35 years, but always blaming Curtis, bashing Curtis,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: and promoting a guy who considers himself the greatest of
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: all time in talk radio, Sid Rosenberg. So if you
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: happen to see the thread, the feed, he's talking on
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: and on. He has people doing endorsements of him winning
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: the New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame with so
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: many others and some that he won't even acknowledge, which
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: I'll take a moment to. But every day, You know,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: it's BB, it's the president, it's any random person on
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: the street, please do me a video praising me. The
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: guy is just neurotic and insecure. I mean, it's so obvious.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: And I just want to point out here that we
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: don't bust our buttons and bridges with pride. I'm working
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: with one of the greatest news broadcasters of all time
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: who did talk radio here at 710WOR for many, many years,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Larry Mendte. Larry, just how many Emmys have you won? 97.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: And you've even won more prestigious awards in business, right? Yeah.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I did a documentary that won the Paley Center's
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: first award and it was shown there for a year.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: That was the award.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: They would show your documentary on Alex's Lemonade Stand and
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Moreau Awards.
• 22:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I've won a lot of national awards too. The Paley Center, right?
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Here in New York. You know, in 2013- I was
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: the honoree of the New York State Broadcasters Hall of
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Fame at the Paley Center. Oh, wow, yeah. You know
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: what's the funny thing? I've never been.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Like, they were showing my documentary, and I never made
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: it up to see it.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Larry, you should. I will. I will. It is great,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: and I want to applaud the New York State Broadcasters
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame for doing that. And you know who
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: was my co-winner that year? Because he's in the news today.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Funkmaster Flex of Hot 97 who really brought rap to
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: mainstream stations. Hot 97. Just to give you an idea,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: I used to say, oh, Hot 97, more drive-bys, more gangbangings,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: more drug dealing, more terror in the streets. He took
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: offense to that, as you would.
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: You didn't mean it offensively? Of course I meant it offensively. 1992.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: So when he got his award, he was on one
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: side of the Paley Center. I was on the other side.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: They kept us safe. separate because it was like two
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: scorpions in a brandy glass but he's in the news
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: because he was at the opening and then it came
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: you know Funkmaster Flex in the rap community is considered
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: like the godfather of rap on radio he sees his
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: partner For so many years on the other side of
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: the room with his wife, he darts across the room
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: and they start fighting with one another. It just gives
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: you an idea. So the reason I bring this up
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: is that we are in line now, as Tom Cuddy
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: has said, better together. We are when he put us together.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: The National Radio Hall of Fame, which next will be
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: in 2027. better together. Whereas Sid Rosenberg, you know, the
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: I and me guy, Israel first, Jews versus Muslims. And,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: you know, Zoran is a terrorist. I mean, that's his
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: whole show. He's touting the fact that he's won this award. Meantime,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: if his great partner, Bernard McGurk, who is a true
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: radio guy with Imus. And a great guy, just a
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: nice man. Super.
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: If he was able to survive, unfortunately, prostate cancer took
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: him out. They were better together. When they were together,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: it was a balanced show. It's no longer balanced. And
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: he would have won this award with Bernard much earlier.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: So he gets the first base. You would think this
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: was the greatest thing. He's winning the Academy Award. He's
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: got to lobby him for it. And we're at third base.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Looking to hit home plate with the National Radio Hall
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: of Fame. Yeah. And I also just want to give props,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: because he never does, to other people out there who
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: work this craft. They're two guys who are also partners
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: up in Great Falls, New York. Dan Miner and Pete Clowder,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: they do the morning show. And they are getting an award.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: He never mentions them. And you know, in a smaller market,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: you really got to work hard.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: There must be something going on with him because, as
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: you mentioned, I've won a lot of awards and I
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: never talk about them because I don't think they define
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: what I do. The work defines what you do. The
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: work defines it. And I'm prouder that with those awards
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: that I paid for the entry fees so that others
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: were recognized because it's never just one person. It's not Sid.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Even if he were to win, it's not just him.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: There are a lot of people that help you.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and also Bill Ritter, who unfortunately had to leave
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Eyewitness News. You knew as a colleague there.
• 26:18
  Speaker 10: Oh, sure, yeah.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Because he has the first throes of dementia. Rosanna Scotto
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: of Channel 5, who just lost her wonderful mother, and
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: a whole bunch of others. So, okay, Sid, you know,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: it's like I and me, you're not the greatest of
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: all time. So you finally got to first base. We'll
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: wave to you from third base because me and you, Larry,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: bedded together. We're on our way into the National Radio
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame in 2027. And that's due to who? You,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: the listeners. Let me just say it quickly again. I
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: want to thank all of our listeners out there. Nielsen
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: has reported our September ratings along with Mark Simone. So
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: from six to 12, we had incredible ratings growth in
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: the important demos. Where do you think we got a
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: lot of those new listeners from? Oh, sure. From over there.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: From WABC. Of course. So thank you all. Thank you.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Thank you. Up next, you play the greatest
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: political radio ad I have ever heard. We were laughing yesterday.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Susan Collins could not run to a bank of cameras
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: fast enough to denounce it, even though it was put
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: out by the RNC up next. Wow, this, without a doubt, yesterday, Larry,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: you were so right. You nailed it out of all
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: the radio ads I've listened to involving political campaigns, and
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: it's been incredible numbers. You played a campaign ad put
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: out by a PAC on behalf of Susan Collins that
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: made us laugh, that was memorable. I'm still humming that
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: tune in my head. That means it's really good. You
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: can't get it out of your head.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and to set it up a little bit, it's
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: against Troy Jackson, the person that's running for the Democratic Party,
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: in a neck-and-neck race up there, or at least the
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: polls say it's a neck-and-neck race. But Troy Jackson, it
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: is true, he did marry his second cousin, and that's
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: what the ad talks about. But it does it in
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: a way that just sticks in your head. All right,
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: that's just the first 30 seconds.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Am I allowed to play the second part?
• 28:28
  Speaker 18: Yes, please, please.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Can I play this? Are we okay? Is everybody okay?
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Everything's been beeped out. Oh, outstanding. Five-star top shelf, you know,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: I would give it a Marconi Award for the greatest
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: radio political ad of all time. I still have that
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: song in my head. That shows you it's lasting.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: How many people in Maine are walking around going, Troy
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Jackson's a freak?
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 28:55
  Speaker 19: Yep.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Married his second cousin. Like I said, hey, you know,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: for some Italians, Rudy Giuliani married his second cousin. But
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: the point is he nailed they nailed him. And Susan
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Collins couldn't find a bank of microphones and TV cameras
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: fast enough to denounce it, disparage it, try to distance
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: herself from it. you know how politics works with these PACs.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: They always say, oh, the PACs have no involvement with
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: the campaign. Are you kidding? I don't know.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, I would imagine just because of the legacy
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: of Susan Collins and the way she's been, she is
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: maybe the prudish person in the Senate. I think if
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: she heard it, she wouldn't allow that to go through.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: I really do believe that. So I'm buying what she
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: says i i don't think that would have happened with
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: her okay but if it did happen with her okay
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: she's a genius because this way you get the best
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: of both worlds you get to play it and everybody's
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: going to be singing it and they're going to that's
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: going to be stuck in their head when they go
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: to the voting booths And she gets to distance herself
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: from it.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Just to give you an idea how these PACs work,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: because I saw it in my own campaign for mayor
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: against Zoran. He had PACs, but nowhere near as much
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: as Andrew Evil Eyes Cuomo. Andrew Evil Eyes Cuomo had
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: a PAC, and you're not supposed to have anything to
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: do with the PAC, right? No conversations, no... His best friend,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: a guy named Steve Cohen, was running it. Not the
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: owner of the Mets, Steve Cohen. His best friend. Now,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: you're telling me they're not having conversations or wink, nod,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: you know. And there were some real disparaging ads that
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: came out of the pack. They ended up with about
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: $ 100 million in pack money alone. $ 20 million that was
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: used on me from Bloomberg, you know. A vote for
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Sliwa is a vote for Mondami, vote for Cuomo. But
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: I got it. There is no way that Susan Collins...
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Didn't hear through the grapevine, the RNC grapevine. Wait till
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: you hear. And naturally, she would inquire, well, what is
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: it about? And then, naturally, she has to run to
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: the cameras, distance herself. I would never be involved with
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: anything that disparaging. But look.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Because she also comes off looking more moderate too, which
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: is what she runs on all the time.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: And that's why she wins all the time. And the
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: other thing is they insert that thing that's going to
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: hurt Jackson if he loses, where he told her in
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: the last debate, they had five in nine days, a
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: total of six. Remember when he turned to her, when
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: somebody in the audience interfered, when somebody in the audience interfered,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: remember was yelling? And, you know, right away, Susan Collins said, oh,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: that's probably a Taylor Jackson supporter. And he goes, shut up.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Shut up, Susan.
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: That hurt him.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, it hurt him bad. I remember saying that to
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: my wife, playing it for her.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: I said, come here. Listen to this. Listen to this.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: And I played it for her. And she went, oh,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: my God, you never say that to a woman ever.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: She goes, I hate him. I hate him.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: And I don't really care about that race at all.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: So could you imagine how many women turned on him?
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: Absolutely.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: And this ad, this radio ad with that great music soundtrack,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: just solidifies that more and then talks about, you know,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: basically he's a three-eyed cousin fornicator, you know, having sex
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: with his second cousin and having kids as a result
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: of it. I love it. I love it. Look. Politics
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: is the dirtiest business. I don't care who's involved. You
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: feel soiled that you need to take a hot shower
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: every day. You cannot believe how dirty it is. And
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: only the strong survive.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and political ads, to show you how dirty it is,
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: have different rules with the FCC. Like, you can't claim
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: certain things about a product, but you can about your opponent.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: And the FCC's fine with that. But who writes the
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: rules for the FCC? Politicians or people picked by politicians.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: So they can lie all they want.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: In these political ads.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: And that really is actually important for you to know
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: as well, because they're lying without any punishment.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: But this one was so entertaining. It was so good.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: But that was all true. Everything there was true. But
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: up next, oh, the dean of the White House press corps,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: our own John Decker up next. A lot of developments
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: in the Trump White House internationally, nationally. And he's, you know,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: he's out on the campaign trail, South Carolina, last night.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: All of that after the 7 o'clock news. On the
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: line now, White House correspondent John Decker. Wow, John, there's international, national, regional,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: and obviously campaign news galore coming out of the White House. Yesterday,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: when you were questioning the president about this Ramaswamy ad,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: he's running for governor in Ohio, Republican, he's behind his
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Democratic opponent. What was the president's response since I saw
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: the vice president, J.D. Vance, in there supporting Ramaswamy, who
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: used her biological mother against her in an ad?
• 34:10
  Speaker 16: Well, the president didn't distance himself from that ad or
• 34:14
  Speaker 16: the running of that ad. I did not ask the
• 34:16
  Speaker 16: president a question on that. I actually asked the president
• 34:18
  Speaker 16: a question about Steve Wyckoff and his calling Vladimir Putin
• 34:22
  Speaker 16: a humanitarian.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: I asked that question to the president in the East
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: Room yesterday.
• 34:27
  Speaker 16: But as it relates to that Ramaswamy ad that's now
• 34:31
  Speaker 16: running in Ohio, it's certainly gotten a lot of attention.
• 34:35
  Speaker 16: There's certainly a lot of people who think it's going
• 34:37
  Speaker 16: to backfire on Ramaswamy, who is already trailing in that
• 34:41
  Speaker 16: race for governor in Ohio.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, it strikes me that it's one of.
• 34:47
  Speaker 16: Those types of ads in which you're really taking your
• 34:51
  Speaker 16: chances and running an ad like that.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: And we'll see if it pans out for Ramaswamy.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you did get to ask a question yesterday. As
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: a matter of fact, you got to ask in that
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: press availability half the questions. That's amazing. That really is amazing. Well,
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: there was only two asked, but you got one of them.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: That's what's important. And you did ask about what Steve
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: Witkoff said, because he was able to negotiate the release
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: of an American prisoner in Russia, Stephen Hubbard, who is
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: a 74-year-old American.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: And after the.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Release, with the press there, he called him a humanitarian.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: And I know that that got a lot of blowback.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: And so what did the president say?
• 35:41
  Speaker 16: Well, the president, I asked the president about that description
• 35:45
  Speaker 16: of Vladimir Putin. And I asked the president if he
• 35:48
  Speaker 16: agrees with that description of Vladimir Putin by Steve Wyckoff,
• 35:53
  Speaker 16: that Vladimir Putin.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: Is a humanitarian.
• 35:56
  Speaker 16: And the president said, I don't want to say one
• 35:59
  Speaker 16: way or the other. He said, you know, in this
• 36:02
  Speaker 16: particular instance, the fact that he signed off on the
• 36:06
  Speaker 16: release of this individual who otherwise would have spent the
• 36:10
  Speaker 16: rest of his life in jail. You could make the
• 36:12
  Speaker 16: argument that that's a humanitarian gesture. But I don't think
• 36:16
  Speaker 16: the president necessarily wanted to go down the road of
• 36:19
  Speaker 16: calling Vladimir Putin himself a humanitarian. And as you point out, Larry,
• 36:26
  Speaker 16: this has gotten a lot of blowback from some in
• 36:30
  Speaker 16: the president's own party, who just, you know, are shocked
• 36:34
  Speaker 16: by the use of that word to describe Russian President
• 36:37
  Speaker 16: Vladimir Putin.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: I noticed last night when he was in South Carolina
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: rallying the troops around Lindsey Graham's sister, who before his
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: arrival completely distanced herself from that. Because in his name,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: after he passed away, one of the few times, John,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: that we've seen a bipartisan effort to support legislation, which
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: increased the sanctions against Putin and Russia. How is she
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: able to do that dance without offending the president?
• 37:08
  Speaker 16: Well, you know, I think the president is most concerned
• 37:11
  Speaker 16: about holding onto control of the Senate. And he realizes,
• 37:15
  Speaker 16: you know, for candidates, they have to say what they
• 37:18
  Speaker 16: need to say to get reelected. And so I think
• 37:21
  Speaker 16: we spoke about this earlier this week. You see candidates
• 37:25
  Speaker 16: in other states, in Alaska, in Michigan, in Iowa, distancing
• 37:30
  Speaker 16: themselves from the president on the issue of his approach
• 37:32
  Speaker 16: to Russia and his approach to Russian President Putin. And
• 37:37
  Speaker 16: the president, I think, is fine with that distance. He
• 37:41
  Speaker 16: knows full well it really doesn't matter what they say.
• 37:43
  Speaker 16: He's the person who's in charge of America's foreign policy.
• 37:47
  Speaker 16: And that's the job of the president. So the criticism
• 37:51
  Speaker 16: I think he can take, I think he's most concerned
• 37:53
  Speaker 16: about holding on to that Senate seat, in this case
• 37:57
  Speaker 16: in South Carolina, that Lindsey Graham's sister Darlene Graham's trying
• 38:01
  Speaker 16: to hold.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: For the next six years.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: There seems to be a lot of people questioning as
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: to why he is on this tour with poor poll numbers.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: But John, in midterm elections, he needs to get his
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: vote out because with MAGA, he's still extremely popular.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: Oh, he is. Absolutely.
• 38:20
  Speaker 16: You know, I see it when I travel with the president.
• 38:22
  Speaker 16: I saw it last week. I'm going to travel with
• 38:24
  Speaker 16: the president once again on Air Force One. this coming
• 38:27
  Speaker 16: Sunday to Michigan. And I see it at campaign rallies.
• 38:31
  Speaker 16: You know, there's still a lot of enthusiasm for President
• 38:34
  Speaker 16: Trump within MAGA, within the Republican base. That being said,
• 38:39
  Speaker 16: you know, I also see polls. You know, I'm seeing
• 38:42
  Speaker 16: a snapshot of America. But I also see polls which
• 38:46
  Speaker 16: indicate the president is unpopular, you know, approval rating and
• 38:50
  Speaker 16: in the low 30s. And it's a headwind that the
• 38:53
  Speaker 16: Republicans are dealing with and trying to hold on to
• 38:56
  Speaker 16: the House and the Senate. The president, you know, and
• 38:58
  Speaker 16: I think it's the right approach, you know, it's just
• 39:01
  Speaker 16: essentially energize your base, get as many Republicans out as possible.
• 39:07
  Speaker 16: If you have a turnout like it's an election year.
• 39:09
  Speaker 16: Maybe you will mitigate your losses. I think that's the
• 39:12
  Speaker 16: thinking of the White House right now.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Now, in the past young decade, you have always been
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: our go to guy about anything affecting D.C., the reflection pool,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: the golf course recently.
• 39:21
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: And what I jokingly referred to as the golden arches,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: which Donald Trump deserves to have built in his honor
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: in Washington. because he consumes more McDonald's than any other
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: celebrity figure in the world, more than Ronald McDonald did,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: or even the owners and operators of McDonald's. So they've
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: announced that November 5th, they may be putting the shovels
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: into the dirt to build the arch that, again, is
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: controversial in honor to himself. Is this, in fact, moving
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: forward right after the midterm elections?
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, I would not be surprised.
• 39:56
  Speaker 16: You know, that does occupy, I don't know, how much time,
• 40:00
  Speaker 16: but some time of the president. You know, I mean,
• 40:03
  Speaker 16: like I'm in the Oval Office and I see on
• 40:05
  Speaker 16: his desk plans for that new golf course that he'd
• 40:09
  Speaker 16: like to build in the nation's capital. I see even
• 40:14
  Speaker 16: before the president took possession of this new Air Force One,
• 40:18
  Speaker 16: there was a model airplane of that new Air Force
• 40:20
  Speaker 16: One in the Oval Office. The president's very much focused
• 40:23
  Speaker 16: on that. He's very much focused on his legacy, you know,
• 40:26
  Speaker 16: with two years left in his final term as president.
• 40:29
  Speaker 16: So yes, Curtis, I do expect movement on that front
• 40:34
  Speaker 16: that what he calls the triumphal arch being built just
• 40:39
  Speaker 16: on the D.C.-Virginia border. I do expect it to go
• 40:43
  Speaker 16: forward after the midterm elections are complete.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: We've seen the federal government going after state election boards
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: and state voter polls records to see if there is
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: anybody illegal voting. And they've found some in Los Angeles
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: and in Pennsylvania, recently in New Jersey as well. And
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: now a coalition of Democrats is suing to prevent the
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Trump administration for what they say imposing itself on state-run elections.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: You're a constitutional attorney as well. That's an interesting constitutional question,
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: isn't it?
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Well, it is.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: States run elections.
• 41:26
  Speaker 16: That being said, if you have voters that are on
• 41:31
  Speaker 16: your rolls that should not be on your rolls, I
• 41:34
  Speaker 16: think it would be in the interest of any state
• 41:36
  Speaker 16: to kick them off. It shouldn't be something that should
• 41:39
  Speaker 16: be a political issue at all.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: We saw this in New Jersey.
• 41:44
  Speaker 16: They were the first state to indicate that a significant
• 41:47
  Speaker 16: number of voters should not have legally been on the
• 41:51
  Speaker 16: voter rolls. Now we see other states following suit. This
• 41:55
  Speaker 16: is not an issue that necessarily will be one that
• 41:59
  Speaker 16: we'll experience in this upcoming midterms, you know, now less
• 42:03
  Speaker 16: than two weeks away. But in 2028, this will be
• 42:07
  Speaker 16: a major issue and an issue that certainly I think
• 42:10
  Speaker 16: would be one that would potentially go all the way
• 42:13
  Speaker 16: up to the U.S. Supreme Court to decide whether or
• 42:16
  Speaker 16: not the federal government can insert itself into this issue
• 42:21
  Speaker 16: that is generally seen as one in which states have
• 42:24
  Speaker 16: the purview concerning who can and who cannot vote in
• 42:29
  Speaker 16: a particular federal election.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: John Decker, finally, Iran once again is like the low
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: end of our totem pole. Apparently the president has given
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: maybe two versions that there are plans to resume bombing
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: right after the midterm elections, maybe by ourself or in
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: tandem with Israel. What are they floating out there, the administrations?
• 42:52
  Speaker 16: Well, you know, look, the Pentagon always prepares for all
• 42:55
  Speaker 16: kinds of potential military operations. And that's certainly the case
• 43:01
  Speaker 16: with Iran. And so, yes, there are plans. I mean,
• 43:05
  Speaker 16: you even see it just in terms of the amount
• 43:07
  Speaker 16: of military personnel that has been moved into the Persian Gulf. Within,
• 43:12
  Speaker 16: I would say, probably a week's time, there will potentially
• 43:16
  Speaker 16: be three aircraft carrier striker groups in the Middle East.
• 43:21
  Speaker 16: That tells me that they are preparing for the potential
• 43:26
  Speaker 16: authorization of more military operations being carried out against Iran.
• 43:31
  Speaker 16: And the president, the people that speak on behalf of
• 43:33
  Speaker 16: the president say there will be no operations before the midterms.
• 43:37
  Speaker 16: But I think after the midterms is a different story entirely.
• 43:41
  Speaker 16: And we'll see what indeed the president, the commander in
• 43:44
  Speaker 16: chief decides to do there.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: John Decker, WOR White House and Washington correspondent and host
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: of the podcast, The White House Briefing Room with John Decker,
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: which can be found on the iHeartRadio app. Look forward
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: to talking to you next week, especially after you've traveled
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: with the president.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: Thanks a lot, John.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Larry.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Thanks, Curtis. Have a great day and a great weekend.
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: Talk to you soon. Bye-bye.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: Well, Roger Goodell yesterday, the NFL commissioner, Called Jalen Hurts,
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: the quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles, the face of the NFL.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: What?
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: Now, whether you agree with that or not, if Roger
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: Goodell thinks that, you'd think he would treat him better
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: than he's been treating him. I don't know if you
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: know the story of Jalen Hurts, but it's become a
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: national story.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: It's been on the nightly news.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: Because he was diagnosed with having a blood clot. Now,
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: this happened apparently in a game against the Rams on
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: October 4th. He got spiked in the leg. That's how
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: they believe it started. They don't know because the medical
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: team in Philadelphia looked at his leg and cleared him
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: for an international flight to London. Now, most of you
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: know the worst thing you can do when you have
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: a clot is to get on a plane, especially for
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: a long flight. So when he landed in London, he
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: had throbbing pain in his legs and they took him
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: to a specialist and they found out that he had
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: a blood clot. And then they cleared him to play
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: in the game in London because they said, quote, activity
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: and mobility are important to clear a blood clot. Then
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: they allowed him to get on the plane to fly
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: back to Philadelphia and where he was diagnosed upon landing
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: of now having a more serious issue because the blood
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: clot is now more than one blood clot and it's
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: in his lungs. So he went from deep vein thrombosis
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: to bilateral pulmonary emboli, which is extremely dangerous. And now
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: he's out for the season. But he may, who knows
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: what's going to happen. He may not be able to
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: play again. And so all the focus right now is
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: on the NFL and its doctors. How did they miss this?
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: And Roger Goodell has been interviewed over and over and
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: over again. And it sounds like Roger Goodell cares more
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: about expanding the NFL overseas than he does about Jalen
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: Hurts or the players. It's all about making some more money. Now,
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: there's going to be an investigation. They say the NFL
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: is going to investigate what happened. They've already cleared the Eagles,
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: by the way. And their chief medical officer had a
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: news conference, and he was as arrogant as you could be. Like,
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: how dare you question me? Here's what has to happen, Curtis.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: They have to have an independent investigation. This is extremely important.
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: It's what the players are calling for right now. The players'
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: union is saying, no, no, no, you can't investigate yourself,
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: just like you did back with the concussions and the CTEs.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: We want an independent investigation so this never happens again.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get a little conspiratorial here. You know,
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: Jay-Z just announced, as the guy who puts on and
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: produces the halftime show, he is going to be it,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: which stole a lot of headlines, obviously. And he's very
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: good friends with Roger Goodell. Do you think that was
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: like an attempt to maybe distract from the constant round-the-clock
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: and rightfully so attention on what happened to the Philadelphia
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Eagle quarterback with the blood clots?
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: Maybe. It didn't work. It didn't work. It's getting a
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: whole lot of attention. I was surprised how much attention
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: it is getting. I mean, it was in the first
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: segment of the national news. And you mentioned how Roger Goodell...
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: who used to be, by the way, the chauffeur for
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: Pete Rizal, the original commissioner. Remember, the chauffeur knows all.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: The face of the NFL, they said, the Philadelphia Eagle quarterback.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: What happened to Mahomes and Kelsey and Taylor Swift in
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: Kansas City, the heartland of America? He said it on
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: a Philadelphia radio station. So I think he's kissing up
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: a little bit to the Eagles fans who won his head.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: Speaking of putting somebody's head on a pike, they want
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: his head on a pike. Let's get a talk back in.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: We talked about road rage from the beginning, and everybody
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: seems to have their own story.
• 48:16
  Speaker 20: I was passed on the left very aggressively while making
• 48:21
  Speaker 20: a left-hand turn at a light. I didn't start turning
• 48:24
  Speaker 20: fast enough. Two young fellows. They threw something at me
• 48:29
  Speaker 20: out of their window, their moonroof, and I started following
• 48:34
  Speaker 20: them aggressively. They slammed on their brakes. It could have
• 48:37
  Speaker 20: been bad. But I went back at night and with
• 48:39
  Speaker 20: a flashlight found what they threw out of the window,
• 48:42
  Speaker 20: and it was a whole work stub, pay stub.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: It was a work stub, pay stub with their address
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: on it.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: Good going.
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: I love that one. Thank you so much for that.
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: Now let's get to Daria Albinger with the 730 News. Morning, guys.
• 49:00
  Speaker 17: Sunny and breezy today. We'll see a high of 65 degrees.
• 49:04
  Speaker 17: The city council is expected to vote today on a
• 49:06
  Speaker 17: bill which would phase out the horse carriage industry here
• 49:09
  Speaker 17: in New York. And the union that's representing the driver
• 49:11
  Speaker 17: says it's going to fight it every step of the way.
• 49:15
  Speaker 21: After years of debate regarding the age-old tradition in New
• 49:18
  Speaker 21: York City, the city council council finally puts the issue
• 49:21
  Speaker 21: to a vote.
• 49:22
  Speaker 10: When it comes to the horses, they never look happy.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: It's kind of a rip-off anyway.
• 49:26
  Speaker 22: The horses here, they faint. They're not in good conditions.
• 49:29
  Speaker 22: They live in a building. They don't have any pasture.
• 49:32
  Speaker 21: While many New Yorkers are ready to get horses off
• 49:35
  Speaker 21: the roads, drivers are worried about their financial future, and
• 49:38
  Speaker 21: the union representing them is threatening legal action. Central Park
• 49:41
  Speaker 21: horse-drawn carriages are restricted to inner park drives and specific
• 49:45
  Speaker 21: pickup locations, but that could all end by June 2028.
• 49:48
  Speaker 12: Natalie Migliore, WOR News.
• 49:52
  Speaker 17: He was once one of New York's finest. Now a
• 49:54
  Speaker 17: former detective is charged with murder in a drive-by shooting
• 49:57
  Speaker 17: this week on the GWB. Victor Rowan of Haverstraw was
• 50:00
  Speaker 17: arrested yesterday in the fatal shooting of Coron Irvine, who
• 50:04
  Speaker 17: is also from the Hudson Valley. The State Department is
• 50:07
  Speaker 17: ordering non-essential U.S. government personnel to leave Saudi Arabia as
• 50:10
  Speaker 17: soon as possible, with violence by Houthi rebels increasing.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: So, you say your job is literally becoming a pain
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: in the neck?
• 50:17
  Speaker 11: Andrew Bang, a chiropractor at the Cleveland Clinic, says sitting
• 50:20
  Speaker 11: for long periods with poor posture can result in aches
• 50:23
  Speaker 11: and pains and tension.
• 50:25
  Speaker 23: Every hour you feel like you need to crack your neck,
• 50:27
  Speaker 23: that's a key indicator. That's your flashing dashboard light. Hey,
• 50:30
  Speaker 23: I've got to change up my posture. My ergonomics is
• 50:33
  Speaker 23: obviously off. You don't need to be a specialist to
• 50:35
  Speaker 23: know that.
• 50:35
  Speaker 11: He recommends raising your laptop on a stack of books
• 50:38
  Speaker 11: or a box to make the computer screen at eye level.
• 50:41
  Speaker 11: And he says to think about a separate keyboard and
• 50:42
  Speaker 11: mouse to help prevent that hunched over position. He also
• 50:45
  Speaker 11: suggests getting up and moving once an hour. I'm Tammy Trujillo.
• 50:49
  Speaker 17: The Nets lost to Charlotte. The Devils, the Islanders, and
• 50:51
  Speaker 17: the Rangers all skate tonight. Next news, 8 o'clock bulletins
• 50:54
  Speaker 17: at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: Every day we're besieged by more and more polls, locally, regionally, nationally,
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: even internationally sometimes. Well, there's a firm that has come
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: front and center and admitted to fabricating data. It was
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: carried by some of the most prestigious media outlets in
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: the country. We'll break it down to you. And the
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: latest Quinnipiac College poll, which says that Blakeman is 14
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: points down to Hochul. I don't believe that poll at all.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: I don't believe that poll at all. You hear from
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of people, we get.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: A lot of talkbacks about it saying, oh, I don't
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: believe in polls. Polls are always wrong. But I will
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: tell you this, it's a necessary evil. And I'm addicted
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: to polls. I look at polls all of the time.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: I know politicians look at polls all the time because
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: it's all we got. It's the only thing you have
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: to tell you how you're kind of doing. So you
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: trust them. You trust the mathematicians and you trust that
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: their algorithm is correct. Well, this doesn't help their case
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: as being credible because Wedgwood Polling, which was cited by
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: a lot of big groups like the New York Times,
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: it was in their aggregate, the Wedgwood Polling, they have
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: come out and said, no, this was all a social
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: experiment to show the vulnerabilities of polls and to show
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: the vulnerabilities of the media using polls. 51 plus 1
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: in the New York Times had included Wedgwood polling, but
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: it was 50 plus 1 that came out. They're the
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: ones that caught them. They said, uh-uh, there's something fishy
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: about these polls. And then they had to come out
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: and fess up. They were actually going to have a
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: bigger experiment than this, but 50 plus 1 found them.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: The New York Times didn't. Listen to all the organizations
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: that use their poll. MSNOW, Newsweek. Decision Desk Headquarters, and Mediaite.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: Hmm.
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: What do all of those places have in common? They
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: all lean Democratic. They all lean to the left. Now,
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: Nate Silver, who is supposed to be the god of polling,
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: he's the one that was one of the few that
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: correctly predicted that Donald Trump was going to win the
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: first time. It sent him into the national spotlight.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: He was using it, too.
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: And he said, he wrote a long article saying, once
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: I took Wedgwood 1 out, the polls started favoring Republicans.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: So this is, it seems to me, conspiratorial, but it's not.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: What Wedgwood 1 did, and I think you're going to
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: hear this a little bit later, that it was conservatives
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: that did this. What Wedgwood 1 did is they exposed Republicans.
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: the liberal media for wanting an unknown poll. They wanted
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: it so much. And the New York Times claims that
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: they look into every single one of the polls and
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: they only use the best of the best.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: They used it.
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: They wanted to use it because it said exactly what
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: they wanted. So not only did Wedgwood One expose a
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: problem with polling, it exposed a bias in the media.
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: Right, and that's wedge, like W-E-D-G, that you would reach
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: into your golf bag, get your wedge shot out, not
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: Westwood One, which is in our business of radio well-known.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: You're absolutely right, Larry. And I've experienced this firsthand. Now,
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: the first time I ran against Eric Adams, not at all.
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: Normal polling data was not favorable to me. I knew
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: what I was getting involved into. But the second time
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: I ran... I didn't have a Republican primary. So I'm
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: sitting with my whole team. And there's a guy we
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: knew at the New York Post who was leaving to
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: go to Washington and was sitting there and was saying,
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: I've noticed there are a lot of polls being published.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: Never heard the name of this organization before. That was
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: the Democratic primary. It was very heated between Zoran, a
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: lot of the Democrats, Andrew Evil Eyes Cuomo and Ranked
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: Choice Voting. And he said, oh, yeah, now we'll take
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: any poll. I said, even an internal poll that you
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: paid for, that obviously if you're paying for a poll,
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: it's going to reflect well on you. Oh, absolutely. You
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: can call up with a poll and don't even question
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: it anymore because if you notice all these polls coming out.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: And then the defining moment was Eric Adams, remember, had
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: dropped out. I think he got bribed about $ 20 million.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: He took it. You know the rest of that story.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: I was being bribed at $ 10 million. And then Cuomo
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: had that press conference, and you reported on it here, Natalie.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: You reported, I cannot win unless Curtis Leeward drops out.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: And then he had a poll put out that suggested
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: his numbers and my numbers would give him a 6%
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: win over Zoran Mondami.
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: During that whole time, I'm very proud of the fact, Natalie,
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: that you and I questioned every one of those polls
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: when they were coming out and even asked people in interviews.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: Yes. Is this your poll? And they would get offended. Yeah.
• 56:13
  Speaker 19: Right.
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: They would get offended. And I'm thinking to myself, why
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: would they get offended? If it's not, just say, no,
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: it's not ours.
• 56:19
  Speaker 24: Right.
• 56:19
  Speaker 20: Exactly.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: No, you were on that. Give you an idea. The
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: Quinnipiac poll came out and says that Blakeman is 14
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: points behind Hochul. I do not believe that. 13 days out.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: Last time, Zeldin was four points out at this point
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: with the same poll. Blakeman's running a much better campaign
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: than Zeldin did. But I will tell you this, in
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: reading the post, they are publishing internal polls that suggest
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: that Blakeman was one point behind, four points behind. No,
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: that's not true either. So don't go by the polls,
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. Just get out there and vote. Get
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: your vote out. Whoever you're supporting. If you go by
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: the polls, I'm telling you, you're going to be disappointed
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: time and time again. And we have probably more local, regional,
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: national races that are neck and neck. And if you
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: just went by the polls, a lot of people sometimes
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: are just, ah, later for that. No, no.
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: Get out and vote. Just get out and vote. Today
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: is the big day with the carriage, the horse carriage vote.
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: That you're going to be at. That's why you're dressed
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: really nice today because you're trying to sneak in.
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: We'll see if they're even going to let me into
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: the rally or the actual vote. It's like all of
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: a sudden I'm a person of no consequence. But Natalie
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: Migliore is out for her beat on the street asking
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: people how they feel about horses and carriages next. Now,
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: it's 710WOR' s Beat on the Street with Natalie Migliore. You're
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: like me, suited down here. I'm going down to the
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: rally that they may not let me into in the
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: vote at city council to get rid of the horse
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: carriage industry.
• 58:01
  Speaker 21: I think that Larry and I have full confidence you'll
• 58:04
  Speaker 21: find your way in.
• 58:06
  Speaker 12: You'll find your way in.
• 58:07
  Speaker 21: I'm just shocked that you don't have horses on your tie. Yeah,
• 58:12
  Speaker 21: I was thinking how you're wearing a tie today.
• 58:14
  Speaker 12: Where are the horses?
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: I only have cat ties. Oh, well, we got to
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: get him.
• 58:19
  Speaker 12: A horse tie now, I guess. Yeah, I'm surprised.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: Wait a second. Do you have cat ties?
• 58:24
  Speaker 12: I believe it.
• 58:25
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and bow tie. Cat bow tie.
• 58:27
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's cute.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. You have to come in wearing the
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: cat bow tie.
• 58:30
  Speaker 6: I will.
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: Next time.
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: I promise you I will.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: But now, question. Polly Market, what would their rating be
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: of my potential of getting into this rally and eventually
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: the vote in city council? What would Polly Market say?
• 58:43
  Speaker 18: 36%.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 58:44
  Speaker 12: 36?
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 58:46
  Speaker 12: But you're a New York City icon.
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: No, I've been iced out.
• 58:50
  Speaker 21: Talking about icons, these horse-drawn carriage rides.
• 58:54
  Speaker 18: Ah!
• 58:58
  Speaker 12: But after decades of debate.
• 59:00
  Speaker 21: And this past summer when an 18 year old tourist
• 59:03
  Speaker 21: was killed in a carriage crash, that's really what started
• 59:06
  Speaker 21: that reignited this push to get rid of them. This
• 59:10
  Speaker 21: could be the final trot for the industry. The end
• 59:13
  Speaker 21: of an era after 150 years. Some New Yorkers say
• 59:18
  Speaker 21: don't let the door hit you.
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: It's heartless, those poor things. clomping through. I mean, our
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: feet hurt when we walked, imagine.
• 59:26
  Speaker 22: The horses here, they faint. They're not in good conditions.
• 59:29
  Speaker 22: They live in a building. They don't have any pasture. Like,
• 59:33
  Speaker 22: if they were going to do it, I think that
• 59:34
  Speaker 22: they should at least have, like, a pasture that they
• 59:37
  Speaker 22: bring them out to and maybe make them work once
• 59:39
  Speaker 22: a week, but they're overworked. They're thirsty, and they're dirty conditions.
• 59:44
  Speaker 10: When it comes to the horses, they never look happy,
• 59:46
  Speaker 10: and it's kind of a rip-off anyway, so... What's the
• 59:50
  Speaker 10: point of, I don't know how much people are spending
• 59:51
  Speaker 10: nowadays on them damn things, but I'm sure they're not
• 59:53
  Speaker 10: going into like the care for them anyway.
• 59:56
  Speaker 21: A carriage ride these days now costs about $ 100 for
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 21: 25 minutes, right? My one question is, how do you
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 21: know a horse is happy?
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: They ain't getting nothing. They're getting ugots. They're getting bupkis
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: out of that $ 100.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 21: And I've been down to those stables. They are building
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 21: concrete buildings. Somebody likened them to a parking garage, in
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 21: a sense. You know, New York City doesn't really have
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 21: room for these pastures that we were talking about.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 12: You know how much a carriage ride first cost when
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 12: it started in 1863? Could you take a guess?
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 11: What, a nickel?
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: A nickel.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 21: 25 cents a ride, each passenger. So it's really, inflation
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 21: really kicked in. And I bet you the ride was longer. Yeah.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 21: Now this New Yorker, not so sure we should be
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 21: doing away with an entire industry.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 19: A lot of people are going to be out of work.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: It's their livelihood.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 19: Personally, I like buses. You have to look at it
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 19: in a whole, is it dangerous?
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 25: Could be.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 19: Traffic out here is not like it was before. When
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 19: they first started, things are different now. Do I think
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 19: they should ban it? No, I think they should have
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 19: a designated part of the park where they can continue
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 19: to give people rides because that's what tourists come for.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: They come for the horse ride.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 21: Well, there is a designated part of the park where
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 21: carriages are allowed to go.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 12: They're restricted to the inner park drives and specific pickup locations.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 12: So apparently.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 21: That's not enough for advocates who want to get rid
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 21: of these things. Now, the transit union says it's ready
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 21: to sue if this measure goes through, saying as soon
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 21: as the ink dries, they want to TRO a temporary
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 21: restraining order, even though it has a clause that sets
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 21: up a horse-drawn cab industry transition plan by April of 2027.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 21: The MTA even says, come work for us.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: I think they should.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: Why not?
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: Well, who would know the streets better than a horse
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: carriage rider? Good benefits, great pension.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 19: Yeah, it's a good thing.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: But if you're.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 19: Manning a horse and carriage, you like the freedom of
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 19: being outside.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 5: But pensions and benefits are always great.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 12: Yeah, so that's the trade-off here.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 21: Now, horse-drawn carriages are really the pinnacle, arguably, of New
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 21: York City tourism. Everybody knows they're there. But pedicabs could
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 21: be ready to fill that gap. An industry true New
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 21: Yorker's seem to hate even more.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: Those pedicabs are ridiculous.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: They're very expensive.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 19: The other one gives you a ride around the park.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 11: It's really pretty.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: It's nice.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 4: Scam.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 22: If you're stupid enough to fall for it, I don't know.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: What to tell you.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 12: When did it become like that? All of a sudden
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 12: people want to take these pedicab rides.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: They play music.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 5: And they're like, they look cute.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 22: $ 400 for like two miles. I'm the little bike guys
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 22: with a little music. I just want to be.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: Part of your skin.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 20: You know?
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: I love the woman that said, I look cute in
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: a pedicab. That's why I have a premium one.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 12: But it's true.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 5: People do it for the Instagram moment.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 5: They take the picture because there's the neon light behind them.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 12: And the ivory, all the ivy and all the leaves.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 21: And you're going through New York City and it's playing
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 21: Frank Sinatra's New York, New York or Empire State of
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 21: Mind by Jay-Z.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 12: Alicia Keys.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: Is that it?
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 12: And you, they're blasting and then they almost hit you.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 21: People say, and it's a lot of fun for New
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 21: Yorkers to navigate them, but really, well.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: You should do an ad for pedicabs. That was really good.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 21: But really we're talking about these horse, these horses, which
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 21: if the band goes into effect, it's June, 2028.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 12: So it's going to take some time. You'll still see
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 12: them and their droppings.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: Um, You will.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 21: But you, they're really resistant to this. But I know
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 21: you've been, Curtis, you've been really.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 12: Well, let me tell you.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: Let me give credit to Side Talk, Choice of the
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: Gen Z Nation. They're the ones who posted me drinking
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: out of the trough.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 12: Yeah, that was disgusting.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 8: The water.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: Do you know how many hits? I can't believe you.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 12: Did you get sick?
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 12: That's why you've been hacking it up these past few days.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 6: That's right.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 12: You got sick from the trough.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: You're right. That's disgusting.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 12: You probably have like a horse.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: You probably have like a horse. A horse.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 12: Oh my God, we got to get you.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 5: To a doctor.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: I just put it together. I just put it together.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: Excuse me. This is my day here, Natalie Migliore. It
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: got a million clicks. And I think this is the
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: video that put it over the top. Wow, you are
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: absolutely right. He's got some kind of weird horse disease.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 21: He needs a horse tie, and he's got to get
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 21: to the doctor, by the way.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: Natalie Bigliore is going to be back tomorrow. Do I
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: go to the horse vet? Yeah. At 7.50.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: Coming up next, we're going to talk more about the midterms.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: Have you seen what's going on in Michigan and Ohio?
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: We'll let you hear it after the 8 o'clock news. Well,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: of the races that are considered toss-up for Senate, one
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: of the ones that has been widening a little bit
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: towards the Democrats and towards Amy Acton, who is running
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: against Vivek Ramaswamy, who you remember when he ran for president,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: that one is starting to widen a little bit in
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: favor of the Democrats. And because of that, it's desperation time.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: Two weeks to go, it's difficult to move polls that much,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: more than a few points, and to sway voters that
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: much in the waning days. So Vivek Ramaswamy has put
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: on an ad that has been nationally controversial. And the
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: reason it's nationally controversial is because Amy Acton and her brother,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: by the way, both of them, have had a tenuous,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: I'll put it that way, relationship with their mother and
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: their stepfather, accusing them of sexual misconduct and accusing them
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: of abuse, child abuse. As a matter of fact, the
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: stepfather was charged with that. And so this is the
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: ad that Vivek Ramaswamy has put out, starring Amy Acton's mother.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: I received a lot of abuse. Well, that's her brother.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: Hold on.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 6: You know, it's awful to see this.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: It's awful to.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 6: You know, it's awful to.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: This is Amy Acton responding to it. I'm sorry, I
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: had ad up here, but let me let you hear this.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: This is Amy Acton responding to her mother saying... that
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: I love her very much, but she's a liar and
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: you can't believe a word she says.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 6: You know, it's awful to see this. It's awful to
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 6: see her this way. And it's even more incredible to
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 6: see that my opponent has taken advantage of someone who
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 6: is clearly not well, who is older. And this is
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 6: totally in.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: Line with who he is.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: Well, Ramaswamy, to his point, her point, has taken complete
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: responsibility for the ad and defends it.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 8: I would love for this race and this election to
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 8: be about the substantive issues that impact Ohioans. And unfortunately,
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 8: Amy Acton has been hiding from those issues.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, that had nothing to do with what the ad said.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: So that was not an explanation that went well. But
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: I will tell you... That's what he was asked. He
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: was asked about the ad.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 8: To be clear, this is not new. Her mother has
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 8: spoken out for years. And I don't know Amy Acton's mother,
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 8: and I've never met Amy Acton either. What I do
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 8: know is that Amy Acton has been repeatedly and serially
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 8: dishonest during this campaign.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 14: Do you see this as a petty move of it?
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: Excuse me? Do you see it as a petty move?
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: On behalf of her mother.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 8: To speak out? Her mother chose to speak out. She
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 8: spoke out several years ago. That's between Amy Acton and
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 8: her mother.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: On behalf of the ad being put out.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 8: For our part, we believe that the best way to
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 8: do this would be to have an open debate between
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 8: the two candidates.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: She has not debated, but this right now, when it
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: comes to public opinion, is not going well for Vivek Ramaswamy.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: He's being attacked nationally. Now, in my belief, I think
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: if the mother has spoken out before and the mother
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: has something to say, I think it's fair game. I'm
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: not sure what goes too far in politics these days.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: You know what I believe goes too far? When you
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: raid someone else's house, when you try to put them
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: in prison, when you try to hurt their livelihood, and
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: you use the Justice Department to do that.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: That, I think, goes too far.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: But the same people who are slamming this ad, they
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: had no problem when that was done to Donald Trump
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: when they thought he was going to run for president again.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: There's a rule of thumb, though, Larry. Leave the mother
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: out of it. You can go at the father. Now,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: the father, here's... was indicted for raping her and then
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: fled to Pennsylvania and the mother the biological mother sided
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: with the stepfather now you have the brother who's come
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: out and said exactly man we were homeless we 12
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: years old, you know, our mother basically decided to go
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: with the stepfather and not care for us after this
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: horrible time. But notice, you go to Michigan. And in
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: that first debate, remember I talked about the Rock'em Sock'em debate,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: El-Said and Rogers, and Rogers talked about how great his
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: mother is, which he really is, a patriot, you know, working,
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: raising the family. And then he turned to El-Said and said,
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: and your mother supported the Muslim Brotherhood. This time he
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: obviously labeled El-Said a Muslim Brotherhood guy. Never mention the
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: mother because I'll bet you in the focus groups, That
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, that might be true, Rogers, but don't
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: mention the mother. Fathers, yeah, you're going to beat them up.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: Leave the mothers alone. You know, it's sort of like,
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: remember that book, Mommy Dearest? Who was that? Joan Crawford, right?
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: About Joan Crawford.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 14: Yeah, sure.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: You just don't do that. And I think this is
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: going to cost him. Now, the sitting senator who replaced J.D.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: Vance when he went on to become vice president, you know,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: the one who Donald Trump admires his ass, right? he's
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: behind in his race to Sherrod Brown. He distanced himself
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: so quick from this. He condemned this ad. But Vance didn't. No, Vance.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: Want to hear it?
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 26: And now the media and the Democrats in the state
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 26: of Ohio are obsessed because guess what? Vivek Ramaswamy had
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 26: the audacity to run a TV commercial which calls it
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 26: out like it is and calls Amy Acton a liar.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: Man, he's Mr. Family Values guy. You know, I've converted
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: to the Roman Catholic faith. He chose to do this. Look,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: he's decided not to do other things for Trump, like
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: he will not endorse Bibi Netanyahu like Trump has. I
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: think this was a mistake on his part to go
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: in there and get involved in this. And then remember this,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: that other race that you first brought to our attention
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: involving the U.S. Senator Moreno, his former son-in-law, who's embattled
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: with his former wife and kids who accuse him of
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: all kinds of horrors. He refused to drop out. Boy, Ohio,
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: which would have been red. I got to tell you,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking more and more, this has become such a
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: drama state that it may become blue.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: It may, but it's going to be, I believe it's
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: going to be because the media, once again, is putting
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: its thumb on the scales. They're making this so big
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: and such a big issue. I mean, How many times
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: does an ad make it onto the national news?
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: This one did. This one did. And it's not the
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: first time. It's nothing more. It's cringy. It's cringy. But
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: especially when you find out that the stepfather was indicted
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: for raping her and then fled prosecution in Pennsylvania and
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: the mother decided to go with the stepfather.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 6: But.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you about Al-Said. I shared this with
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: Natalie and obviously with Larry. You talk about a guy
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: who's going to places that no Muslim would ever go before.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: The Upper Peninsula in Michigan, that is MAGA country. That
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: is Trump land. That's hunters. Oh, come on. You're giving
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: him credit for that? He has to. Yeah, but let
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: me explain to you how he's done it. He hasn't
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: gone up there as Al-Said the Muslim. He's dancing to
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: country western tunes. He's got the belt buckle on. You
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: would think he was in Fort Worth, you know, the stockyards,
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: those mile-long bars. And then he's got an American red, white,
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: and blue cowboy hat on.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: And see, I thought that ad was more embarrassing than
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: the mother coming out because he was so obviously trying
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: to patronize these people.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'd be insulted.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: He was doing a line dance, holding his buckle. And
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: the hat he had is a cowboy hat, not just
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: a cowboy hat. It's a cowboy hat that was an
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: American flag. And he's on, he's dancing and it's country
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: music playing.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: Come on. He was singing to your favorite song, 9
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: to 5, Dolly Parton.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 6: Yes, he was.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: With Dolly Parton in the back. Then he goes south.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: He does Eminem things. He's doing rap, you know, like
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: he's a DJ. And then he's in the gym, because
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: unlike Zora Mondami, who couldn't lift his body weight, this
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: guy's a lifter. So you see him with these muscle guys,
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: you know, white and black. Yeah, 285 at both turns.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: And he's buffed. He is trying to pull out every
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: available vote. Rodgers is taking it right down the middle.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: He goes, my family is all patriotic. Everyone in my
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: family has served, including his wife.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: Who served in Iraq. So that's what the choice is
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: going to come down to.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: He's real. I think Rodgers is going to win this
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: actually easily. I think it's going to be a few
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: points because everything you hear coming out of Michigan is
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: bad about El-Sayed. And I'm not sure Michigan's are going
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: to fall for him having an American flag on a
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: cowboy hat.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: Well, let me give you the demographics. The key vote
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: is the African-American vote. Total, that's 12% of the overall vote.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: And most of it is down in Detroit, Wayne County. Pontiac, Saginaw, Flint.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: I've been to all those places. And they control the
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: Democratic machine, the African-Americans. They don't like the fact that Muslims,
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: who are 2% of the vote, are growing in strength
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: and beginning to become real leaders in the Democratic Party.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: They don't like that because the African-Americans run the Democratic
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: Party south in Michigan.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: So we'll see. But the polls show that he's doing
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: poorly among Democrats, among black Democrats.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but, you know, Barack Obama comes in on the weekend.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: And notice, Trump is going north to the Upper Peninsula
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: on the same day that Barack Obama will be in
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: Detroit to try to get out the black vote. The
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: Jewish vote is about one and a half percent. It's split.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: They're always split on these issues, and it's 2% of
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: the Muslim vote. Always split.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: In the past, they have voted 85% in Michigan. It's
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: down to 50% and 60%. They lost a lot. He's
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: lost a lot.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: Of Jewish votes. It's only 1.5%. Always split. You're going
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: to have, just like with Zoran Mandami, he got 30%
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: of the Jewish vote.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: I'm not arguing the percentage on that. I'm arguing the
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: fact that they're split. No, they're leaving El-Sayed, that's for sure.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: When we come back, well, why don't you talk about
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: this one and the New York Yankees?
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: This is a disgrace. Ufa to Hal Steinbrenner. I don't believe,
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: I want a DNA test to see if he truly
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: is the son of George Steinbrenner Sr., who fired so
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: many managers, fired so many general managers. Sometimes it was
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: like a rotating series of Billy Martins coming and going,
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: coming and going. This guy yesterday doubled down in support
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: of Cashman, who's been there 30 years as the GM,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: and 10 years Aaron Boone. He signed them up for
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: another year. And he dissed all the players. You're going
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: to hear him on his own because he rarely gives interviews.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: He went out of his way to diss all these
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: New York Yankees, second highest payroll in all of baseball,
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: instead of the guy who put it together, Cashman, and
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: Aaron Boone, the manager who doesn't know how to manage
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: his talent because it's all analytics up next. Fruits are
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: so mad yesterday. So Hal Steinbrenner. who is the owner-operator
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: of the New York Yankees now, left to him by
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: his daddy, George, who would cycle through managers and general managers,
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: especially Billy Martin, I think like seven different times. It
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: took very little for George Steinbrenner to suddenly say out
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: and then bring him back and And he won championships.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: He won at the Bronx, a zoo they called it,
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: you know, where Reggie Jackson was fighting with Nettles and
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: Thurman Munson. They were always battling, but they won championships.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: And that's why the fans, for everything that they hated
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: Steinbrenner for from time to time, just loved the fact
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: he was volatile and he was constantly, you know, promoting,
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: we're going to win a championship. His son... That's why
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: I want a DNA test. I really don't think he's
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: the son. It doesn't strike me as plausible because after
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: a few disastrous seasons with an all-star lineup in which
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: Steinbrenner and his confab are paying second highest payroll in baseball,
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: maybe a little bit behind Steve Cohen of the Mets
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: and actually the Dodgers first. was so effusive in praise
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: of Cashman, his GM, who's been there 30 years. You'd
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: think there should be term limits, 30 years. And then, obviously,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: Aaron Boone, who's this analytical guy, a California guy, never.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: There's no emotion. You know, there's nothing to get your
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: juices stirred. And he signed them up for another year,
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: and he praised them effusively. They're the best, not like
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: the rest. And then he decided to attack the Yankee
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: lineup itself, the 25 guys. whether they started at the
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: start of the year or made it into the playoffs
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: and got sunk by the Tampa Bay Rays that I
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: predicted would win because they play fundamental baseball. The Yankees don't.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: They play home run baseball. Listen to what Hal Steinbrenner
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: said about all the Yankees who played for him, completely
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: dissed them. I mean, absolutely unbelievable to the point where Well,
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: I don't go to the new Yankee Stadium any longer.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: I never liked the new Yankee Stadium. It's the house
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: of Jeter as opposed to the house of Babe Ruth,
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: the old stadium that I really liked. But listen to
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: what he said on his own conference call yesterday to
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: all the Republicans. and really to Yankee fans everywhere.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 27: Yes, we failed at the goal this year, but that
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 27: is always our goal, which is why we put so
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 27: much effort and resources. into the roster every offseason to
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 27: field a team that can accomplish that. I thought Boone
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 27: managed a good season. The bottom line is the players
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 27: didn't live up to their end of the bargain in
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 27: the playoffs.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: He blamed the players. Aaron Boone cannot deliver a championship.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: He never will. I thought he should have been more measured. Look,
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: it's his team. He can hire whoever he wants. Keep
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: him on. If you're a Yankee fan, nobody wants Cashman
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: and Boone to stay on, but that's his choice. But
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: then basically to diss the Yankees, and for the first
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: time Aaron Judge, who really wanted to be on the roster,
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: but I felt you can't have him on the roster,
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: he can't play, said you should not re-sign Chisholm at second,
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: that hot dog, who's got a lot of talent, but
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: you should go with Volpe.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go back to what he said, because that's
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: sports management 101. He may feel that way. He can
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: feel that way all he wants. You never blame anyone
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: but yourself. That's what brings love to you. When you say,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: I could have done better. I messed this up. That's
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: what great coaches do. You heard, they never blame their players.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: They say, you know what, I didn't coach them well enough.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: I didn't do this.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: I can't believe, I don't think I've ever heard somebody
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: saying that. That is in any management over the last
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: decade in the country.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: Is it possible we can find some DNA of how,
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: on a couple of some way, Yankee Stadium, send it
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: to the Church of the Latter-day Saints, you know, they
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: do the DNA checks, and see if he really is
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: the son of George Steinbrenner. There couldn't be any two extremes.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was bad. Let's get some talkbacks. We're still
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: getting talkbacks about road rage.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 18: How to eliminate road rage. It's very simple. Keep your
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 18: eyes out the front window. Don't look out the right window.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 18: Don't look out the left window. Only for mirrors. If
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 18: you look out the front window and ignore everything, whether
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 18: you're right or wrong when you made the mistake on
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 18: the road, just look out the front window and road
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 18: rage disappears. been working for me for five years.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 4: That is tremendous advice no eye contact you mentioned that earlier.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: Yep that's it that's they tell you but everybody wants
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: to go like.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: This yeah what are you doing that's nancy nancy she'll

• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: dad joke I've never seen a happy horse. They all
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: have a long face. Ah, bad. That's an old one.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: That is so true. That is so true, especially if
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: they're getting whipped to the finish line at the racetrack.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: By the way, that's the next thing I'm tackling, and
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: that horse racing.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: Let me get one more in, because this is for Natalie,
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: and this is about her New York accent.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: Is it just me? Since Curtis came out to WOR...
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: I swear, Natalie Migliore's New York accent has gotten so thick.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: Absolutely the truth. Absolutely.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 5: I think mine has, too.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: Really? Yes. Oh, it's infectious.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 6: It is.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: Just like I caught the horse disease you claim from
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: drinking from the trough in Central Park that the horse carriage,
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: the horses do. But it's 830, so let's get the
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: news from Darian.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 15: Morning, Curtis.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 17: Sunny and breezy today. We'll see a high of 65 degrees.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 17: He was a retired NYPD officer who is now charged
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 17: with murder. In the deadly drive-by shooting on the GWB,
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 17: police believe Victor Rowan was motivated by road rage in
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 17: the incident that left Coron Irvine dead. Both men are
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 17: from the Hudson Valley. Mayor Mamdani has released some new
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 17: 9-11 health documents.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 25: An additional 40,000 previously unreleased documents have just been added
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 25: to the new 9-11 portal. Mayor Mamdani says the documents
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 25: show what city leaders knew about air quality and other
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 25: health impacts shortly after the 9-11 terror attacks. There are
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 25: now more than 200,000 documents in that portal. Family members
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 25: who lost loved ones to 9-11-related illnesses have been fighting
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 25: for the release of the documents for years. I'm Scott Pringle,
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 25: WOR News.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 17: City Council votes today on a bill that would phase
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 17: out the horse carriage industry here in the city. The
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 17: union representing drivers say they will fight it if it's passed.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 17: A polling firm has been caught using made-up numbers ahead
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 17: of the midterms. Wedgwood Polling was questioned about its methodology
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 17: after it gave sizable leads to Democrats in several states. Well,
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 17: the firm now says Yeah, it made the numbers up.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 17: But it claims it was an experiment to see how
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 17: many news outlets would use them. And consider this a reminder,
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 17: if you do something wrong, there is a very good
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 17: chance that it will be caught on camera. Like this
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 17: creep in New Jersey who abandoned a puppy.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 15: Officials in Montclair are hoping someone can help them ID
• 1:23:49

  Speaker 15: pit bull to a garbage can and goes inside. comes out,
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 15: walks past the dog while talking on the phone, and
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 15: never comes back. The pup is fine, no signs of
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 15: abuse at a shelter. The man was wearing a hoodie
• 1:24:10

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