Hour 2: Mail theft · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, Cornell is the story that just keeps giving. Follow
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the texts. Follow the text. And even though the attorney
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: who filed the civil suit on behalf of the woman
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: described as Jane Doe is now saying no mas, no mas,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: there needs to be a gag order on everyone involved,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: all the attorneys, all the participants, anybody involved in this whatsoever.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: It hasn't stopped the flow of texts between Jane Doe
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: and especially the two guys that she admitted she loved
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: in some of the texts, and they admitted they loved her,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: which was Matthew and Newell. Those were the two that
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: she had the threesome with, agreeable to all at the
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: frat house off of Cornell, and more of these texts
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: have flowed. Obviously, we have to assume it's from some
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: of the defense attorneys, either for the Matthew guy, who
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: seems to be the ringleader, and the Newell guy, who
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: was his buddy. Those were the two that she consented
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to have sex with, and it is endless. Let me
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: give you an update on this. To the text messages.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Jane Doe texts Matthew after the night in question. Matthew,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: people always want to talk about that I had transgender
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: allegations last year. meaning that people on campus were looking
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: at her. And Megyn Kelly has actually shown her pictures.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: And she has some manly features. It would be difficult
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: not to assume that some of these, you know how
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: these young people are, they can be very vicious. But
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: apparently the rumor that went around the previous year on
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Cornell is that she had had transgender surgery. So she's
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: talking about that in lieu of all the rumors that
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: emerged after her night in the frat house, having sex
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: with the two and then others coming into the room. First,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: it was the transgender rumors last year. Now the rumors
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: about the night in question is ruining my life. This
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: is from Jane Doe. Jane Doe then insists, she says twice,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I am always being rumored about. So this is like
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: really bothering her big time. But Matthew, who seems to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: be the person that she has the best relationship with, says, oh,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: they are just jealous of us. Everyone needs to grow
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: up because sexuality and sex is changing and stuff like
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: this is going to become more common. Jane Doe then responds,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: silence is the most powerful response always. but I always
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: want to say something about this. Now, that's with Matthew.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. And the text messages go on and
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: on and on, and we've heard these every single day.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: They have to appoint a judge in this case. He's
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: got to do a gag order. This is so unfair.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: The fact that we're reading these now on the air
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: is so unfair to so many people in this case.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: This is being tried in the media. Do you know
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: that on the defense team, one of the junior attorneys,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: his job is to work with the media. His job
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: is to get this stuff out there. So this, what
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: we're doing right now and what everybody is doing in
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: the country that does this in the newspapers and does
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: it on television, they're trying this case. This case is
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: being tried right now.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: You can't stop it, Larry. You can stop it. Yes,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: you can.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: How?
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: You can stop it. You can have a gag order.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, Phaedra F. Perry Bond of
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: the New York Supreme Court has just sealed several of
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the documents, and she says a judge has to be appointed,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: and we have to put a gag order. She also
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: threatened all attorneys.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: There will be repercussions. So, yeah, it can be handled.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: The fact that it took so long, and I want
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: to know why it takes so long. I want to
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: know why... The college took so long. I want to
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: know why the court system took so long. I want
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: to know why Hochul took so long. Nobody cared about
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: this woman. I will give her credit for one thing.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: This is the way she got people to care about it.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: This is the way by coming out with this and
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: saying all this, but the fact that has gone on,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: do you think these men, these young men can get
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: a fair trial right now?
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Well, these texts will balance the ledger here. Let me
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: just tell you what she texted Newell, which may be
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: an indication. She writes to Newell. Remember, that's one of
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the two that she agreed to have sex with.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: She says, you know, this is after the fact. We
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: should get together again.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: But, like, leave out the extra five billion men and
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the ketamine.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Well, that was out very early. That five billion men one, yeah,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: that was out very early.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: And then Newell says to her, definitely, I'm off the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: hard drugs for good. But then there is a date
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: in which she does a pirouette and it's no more.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I love you.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Hey, it got out of hand that night, but nothing
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: illegal was done.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: She wasn't invited to the Halloween party at the frat.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: And she was upset.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: And then this is what she texts to both Matthew
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: and Noel. It gets gossipy.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Doesn't it? After a while. I mean, she wasn't invited
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: to the Halloween and she got upset. I mean, You know,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I understand the attention on this story, and I understand
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: the interest in this story, and some of that interest
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: is the salaciousness of it. But, you know, we seem
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: to always forget there's lives that are going to be determined,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: how the rest of their lives are going to go.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: There's seven young men and a woman. that this is
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: going to be determined by a court, and everything is
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: being slimed right now.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: All of them.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: All of them. The university, the woman, the men involved,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: all is being slimed because of these attorneys, because of
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: them leaking all this out.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Right, but the techs... It's sick.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: The techs also balance the scale for at least the
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: two who were considered the leaders of the pack.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: The Matthew guy and Newell.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: because she clearly had a relationship with them.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: She clearly wasn't holding them culpable. But then all of
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: a sudden she writes to both of them.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Let's be clear that 90% of what happened that night
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: was not consensual. I was given more ketamine than I
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: can remember. And I know I told you that I
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: was uncomfortable and I didn't know anyone in the room.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: All I remember is you giving me ketamine to orally
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: fixate you in front of everybody. How do you suddenly
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: go from peace, love, and happiness, all is forgiven and forgotten, yeah,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: it got out of control, to suddenly saying 90% of
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: this was a crime?
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know. But you know where that will be decided?
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: In a courtroom.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: Sure.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: That will be decided in a courtroom. I mean, there's
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: a part of it that it starts to feel a
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: little bit icky, doesn't it? It starts to feel like
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: this is going to go on every single day. Hopefully,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: the Supreme Court judge in New York will put an
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: end to this. She hasn't yet. All she's done is
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: seal documents and asked for a judge to then issue
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: a gag order. But that should have happened very early on.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: As soon as this stuff started coming out, this isn't
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the way the system's supposed to work. We love it.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: We love it. I mean, everybody in the media loves it.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: The networks love it. Everybody is looking at this like
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: a show right now, and nobody's looking at it as eight,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: maybe more, young people's lives.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Notice, initially, none of the lawyers, her defense attorney, who
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: filed this civil suit, or the seven other lawyers and
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: their associates representing the Cornell 7 moved to request a
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: gag order. That just came about. And as you said,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the court is not moving expeditiously as it should. So
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I guarantee you both sides, before the order is levied,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: because we know it's going to be levied, we're going
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: to try to put as much stuff out there for
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: public consumption before then.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: That's what's happening right now. All the lawyers for the
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: young men, could you imagine... With the money that's at
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Cornell University, because they're going to get attorneys too, the
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: money that's going to be made by all of these
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: attorneys on this case, some of the highest priced attorneys
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: in the country are going to be involved in this case,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: both on the defense and the prosecution and protecting the
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: university and other people that may be involved. We may
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: not even know everybody involved. But it's going to be
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: a difficult case for them. How are you going to
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: find a jury that hasn't heard about this?
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Media flacks that will be hired for both sides and
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the experts at picking a jury. You know, there's a
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: whole class of men and women out there, many of
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: them former attorneys. who guide you on what they believe
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: should be done to try to pick a jury that's
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: going to be more favorable to your cause or may
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: call for a hung jury.
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: You know, where there's dissension amongst the jury.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: You're talking about the criminal case. Right now, this is
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: all in the civil case. Everything is in the civil case.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: That's why it's some uncharted territory. That's why about gag
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: orders and all that kind of stuff. That's exactly why
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: none of that stuff has happened. Everybody's trying to figure
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: it out. It is a wonderful sign right now that
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: the New York Supreme Court got involved and that they
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: issued something. At least they sealed all the documents. So
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: all of the networks that have been getting the documents,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: that's going to stop now. But you're absolutely right that
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: everybody's going to try to get their last licks in
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: because a gag order is definitely coming.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Now, you know who we've left out of this? She
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: had already been appointed the special prosecutor. by Governor Hochul,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Attorney General Tish James. She could have immediately... gone into
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: court with the power and the weight of the state
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: attorney general officers and demanded a gag audit.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Well, if life is fair, she's pulled. I mean, she
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: shouldn't touch this case. She shouldn't be near this case.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: She's already said how she feels about it. She's already prejudiced. So, no,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: she should be definitely out of this case. Now, it's
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: getting to the point. I don't know how you feel
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: about it, but it's getting to the point where it's
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: starting to sicken me. that all of this stuff is
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: now being talked about like we're in one big coffee
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: room and it's all kind of titillating gossip. These are
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: people's lives that are on the line. Coming up, Ann-Margaret Carrozza,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: host of WOR's The Laws of Your Money. There was
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: a famous star, you're going to know, you're going to
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: know who she is, that died without a will. Who
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: will inherit her estate? Plus a chance to see Journey
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: at age 25. Also, I want to talk to you
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: more about LifeVac. I can't talk enough about this product
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: because I believe in it. I don't even like to
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: call it a product. I think it's just an essential
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: that every home should have, every police department have, every
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: college should have, certainly every cafeteria and every restaurant should have.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Because LifeVac is the first and only FDA authorized suction
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: anti-choking device to be used for second-line treatment when recommended
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: choking protocols have been followed without success. And it works
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: so quickly and so effectively. I just watched video of
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: a police officer using LifeVac to save a six-year-old boy.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: And here's what's really remarkable. LifeVac has saved not just
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: that little boy, but 6,500 lives worldwide. Those are real people,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: real families, real second chances. Having the right tool nearby

  Speaker 3: The festival is packed.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: All right, let's bring in Ann-Margaret Carrozza, host of The
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Laws of Your Money with Ann-Margaret Carrozza. That's Sundays at
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: 1030 in the morning. Ann-Margaret, thanks for joining us. I
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: I want to talk to you because this is your specialty.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: You're one of the best in the country when it
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: comes to these things. I want to talk to you
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: about the death, the accidental overdose of Hayden Panettiere, a
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: young actress. Everybody knows her. I remember as the little
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: girl in Remember the Titans and movies like Bring It
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: On and Scream. But she's the latest in a long
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: line of celebrities to have died without a will. Who
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: will inherit her estate, and is there going to be
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: a fight over this?
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: Well, Larry, she is one of 50% of all Americans
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: who don't have a will. And when we don't have one,
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: it's our state of residence who determines who gets our stuff.
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: So tragically, she was survived by an 11-year-old daughter who
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: So the laws of all 50 states, including California where
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: she lived, provide that the 11-year-old daughter will inherit the
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: entire estate. But the bigger issue that is unresolved is
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: who is going to manage the millions of dollars on
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: behalf of the 11-year-old girl. So without a will directing
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: who was going to take over, the court said that
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: Hayden Panettiere's ex-fiancee living in the Ukraine is going to
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: handle the millions of dollars. Is that what Hayden Panettiere
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: would have wanted? We're never going to know.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Hold on a second.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: And Margaret Carosa, a guy in the Ukraine, the most
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: corrupt country in the world is going to handle the money.
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: Exactly. The California court just put him in charge of,
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: of the estimated $ 10 million estate on behalf of the
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: 11-year-old daughter. And he is entitled to substantial annual commissions
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: for doing so.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Why? What is the rationale? How do they pick someone
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: that is going to run that estate?
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: Well, he, the ex-fiancé, petitioned the California court and alleged,
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: I don't know whether it's true or not, that the
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: estate needed someone very quickly to oversee things because people
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: were stealing objects from the home and he was needed.
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: So in the absence of other good candidates and in
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: the absence of a direction from the decedent, the court said, okay,
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: here you go, Vladimir. Here's the $ 10 million.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Good luck.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Now people should go to someone like you to get
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: a will written, but can they write their own will?
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, if we're on a game show, the
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: answer is we can write our own will. But look
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: at what happened with Aretha Franklin. She died in 2018,
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: and they found a handwritten will in her sofa cushions.
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: And that thing was in court for five years before
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: they determined its validity. So there were millions spent in
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: legal fees. but it saved her maybe 500 bucks to
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: get a decent will from a lawyer.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: So a little bit bonkers.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: On a little different note.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: And Margaret Carosa, we're in an age where oftentimes two
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: people get married, they go their separate ways. And then
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden they have a new marriage, new family. Uh,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: if they forgot or filled out a will in the
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: first marriage, how did they undo that?
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: If they decide to do that for the second marriage?
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: Well, the laws of all 50 states say that provisions
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: for your spouse in a will are nullified as soon
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: as that divorce decree is.
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: Signed by the judge. So that is not the big concern.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: The big concern is to update your documents when there
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: is a change in the condition of a beneficiary. So
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: my husband is my beneficiary, but if he develops dementia,
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: or has a stroke, now I don't want a nursing
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: home getting me a state, so I'm going to create
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: a trust for them.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Ann-Margaret Carrozza, thank you so much. Host of Laws of
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Your Money with Ann-Margaret Carrozza. That's Sundays at 1030. By
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: the way, I saw you on TV.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: You did great.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: We're not going to lose you, are we?
• 16:55

  Speaker 8: the City Council feels about SpaceX. AI coming to talk
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: to members today about the possible pitfalls of artificial intelligence.
• 17:23
  Speaker 9: SpaceX AI is fielding questions from the council's committee on technology,
• 17:27
  Speaker 9: but every council member was invited to attend and ask questions.
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: It comes as several researchers have warned AI could pose
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: an existential threat to humanity, even leading to concerned citizens
• 17:38
  Speaker 9: calling for guardrails.
• 17:39
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it's going to go off the rails a lot
• 17:41
  Speaker 10: quicker than what we expect because we've advanced so much
• 17:45
  Speaker 10: in technology that It's going to go way faster than
• 17:48
  Speaker 10: we ever thought, like when the internet came on.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: But AI is going to go a lot faster than that.
• 17:52
  Speaker 10: So I think we need guardrails.
• 17:54
  Speaker 9: Lawmakers already spent 10 hours throwing questions at.
• 17:57

• 18:19
  Speaker 4: No deal!
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: That's what residents of Ocean Park, New Jersey, are being
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: told about their plan to join the neighboring township of
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: that name.
• 18:26
  Speaker 11: Town officials say the deal is the petition came up
• 18:29
  Speaker 11: 13 signatures short of the required amount to force a
• 18:31
  Speaker 11: vote on the matter. State law requires 60% of residents
• 18:34
  Speaker 11: to sign a de-annexation petition, and the Asbury Park Press
• 18:38
  Speaker 11: is reporting supporters thought 68% of Deal Park's residents signed,
• 18:41
  Speaker 11: but nope. Town officials checked voter rolls to find more
• 18:44
  Speaker 11: total voters in the neighborhood than was first counted. An
• 18:47
  Speaker 11: attorney for Deal Park residents said they will keep trying,
• 18:50
  Speaker 11: but the mayor of Deal has been saying they have
• 18:53
  Speaker 11: no plans on incorporating the neighboring neighborhood if Deal Park
• 18:56
  Speaker 11: did leave Ocean Township. Lee Van Putney, WOR News.

  Speaker 8: The Devils beat the Rangers. The Islanders fell to Ottawa
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: and the locals have the night off. Next news, 8 o'clock,

  Speaker 8: bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710 WOR.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Up next, it's right on time.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: This guy, our colleague Rob Astorino, took on the Democratic
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: machine at that time at the height of his power.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo ran a great race, lost, but he knows
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: exactly what the path to victory should be for Bruce
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Blakeman versus Hochul, and we'll hear from him up next.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: 18 days to go to the midterm elections. And the
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: other night we saw Bruce Blakeman versus Hochul in the
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: unfortunately one and one only debate on the line. Rob Astorino,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: nobody in this business knows better how to fight the
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Democratic Party.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Machine.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: He had to do it against Andrew, evilize Cuomo at
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: his strongest. So, Rob, having seen everything that's led up
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: to this moment with 18 days to go, what would
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: your advice be to candidate Bruce Blakeman?
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: Keep fighting, keep traveling, keep on offense, and play the hits.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: This is what it comes down to now. Don't get
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: distracted by stupid little stuff. Just pound, pound, pound. Actually,
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: he's going to be in my town in Mount Pleasant
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: in Westchester tomorrow, actually. Governor Pataki is going to be
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: with him. That'll be nice. It's these kind of areas
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: where he's got to make sure he pulls out vote
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: and You know, the other thing, obviously, they've got to
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: make sure that the paper ballots, the absentees that people
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: have applied for, they've got to chase them. They've got
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: to make sure these people have voted. They've got to
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: make sure these things are in the Board of Elections.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: All those things matter if it comes down to election
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: night and it's really close. And he's in a position.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: You know, that's all we want, Curtis, right, is when
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: we're running as challengers, we just want to be in
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: a position to win on election day. And I think
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: he is in a position to win. Will he? I
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: have no idea. But I think he's in a good
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: position to win. And she's freaking awful. You know, her
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: debate performance or just everything about her is atrocious. But
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: she's a D in a D state. That's the only
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: thing she's got going for her.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: How much does a ground game count in this kind
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: of race? Everything.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: Honestly, I mean, it means so much. That's why, you know,
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: when I see all this money being poured in and
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you saw the third quarter results
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: for fundraising for around the country. That's the scary part. Okay. Well, actually, Larry,
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: you're going to go back on the ledge now.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Damn you.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: The amount of money that Democrats raised in the third
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: quarter compared to Republicans, it's frightening. Like in Texas, Tallarico
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: raised $ 64 million in the third quarter to Paxton's 18.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: But the thing that scares me the most, even El Sayed,
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: raised like 20 to Rogers like seven. The thing that
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: scares me the most is that the Republicans had a
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: big advantage and the money that they're making now, a
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: lot of it is, you know, it's super packed money. So, hey, Elon,
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: can you write a $ 50 million check? And Elon writes
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: the $ 50 million check. The Democrats are raising small dollar money.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: And that means they're enthusiastic. And those people who write five, $ 10,
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: $ 100 checks, they're engaged. You know, that's what you need
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: So that's the thing that does scare me. It's always
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: scared me. You know, it's the enthusiasm this year. But,
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: you know, I was just in Iowa this week and
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: in Ohio. And I can tell you, like, they're both
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: trending in the right directions. And I was talking to people,
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: you know, deep within the campaigns or whatever. And they
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: like what they're seeing the last several weeks. They think they're,
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: you know, going in the direction. It wasn't an eye roll.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: It wasn't like, oh, my God, this is going to
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: be horrible. It's we like where we're going to be.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: So I think, you know, I do think we're going
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: to win those states. So I just, now all you're
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: going to hear, and this is the rollercoaster part that
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: campaigns go through, that voters go through. It's all going
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: to be worse negative for Republicans in the next 18 days. Remember,
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: Kathy Hochul is a moderate. That's how the New York press,
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: she's a moderate, right? We're going to hear that. We're
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: going to hear doomsday for Republicans, everything for Democrats. People
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: still have to vote. That's what matters. But the ground
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: game is extraordinarily important. That's where I'd rather see money
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: than ads right now that are just noise at this point.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Buzz, you mentioned Kathy Hochul, miserable performance in the debate.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: That's why I think it is imperative that we, and
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: you suffered the same thing, you know, Cuomo, I might
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: give you one debate. There should be a mandatory two
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: debates on network TV so it's covered throughout the state.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Saritha smoked Tish James. Most people will never know that.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: And Blakeman beat Hochul convincingly as she was sleeping. But
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: I've noticed right away what the Dems are doing. Pictures
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: of Hochul with children, pictures of Hochul with women. Problem
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: with Bruce, he's surrounded by men. How does he try
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: to offset that tremendous majority that Hochul will have with
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: the female vote?
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, if you looked in the polling, I'm
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: sure you did. That's the biggest issue Republicans in general have,
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: but Bruce has in New York. There's a big, big gap,
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: you know, with women voters going left and sticking with
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: the Democrats. Men are more for the Republicans, but it's
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: not in that huge imbalance. So, you know, look, he said, obviously,
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: he's pro-choice, you know, in New York. That counts for something,
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: especially with women. But the way women are trending right now,
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: it's like, give me everything. I want big government. I'm
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: going to talk about this tomorrow on my show. I
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: don't know if you guys saw this, but there was
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: a poll that came out. It was shocking that a
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: majority of folks want socialism, certainly that consider themselves Democrats,
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: but also independents getting close to that. Not only socialism,
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: but they think Sharia law is acceptable. I mean, so
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: just think about Think about how do we convince these people–
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: it's almost impossible now. They're way off the spectrum. Sharia
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: law and socialism. If that's where we're going, and it
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: is where we're going to some extent, at least with
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: people in this country, how the hell do we turn
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: things around? That's not like America, let's go left, let's
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: go right. That's America we hate. We need to completely
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: change it.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Well, there's some in the Democratic Party who believe just that. Listen,
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: now that you put me back on the ledge, I've
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: come to grips with the possibility of losing the House.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: And I think it's probably going to be gone. I
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: think that there's a real opportunity to keep the Senate,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: especially with the way the polls have been going. And
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: because even CNN pointed out, there is a prejudice in
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: the polls when it comes to Republicans by two to
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: four points. And if you take those two to four points,
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: they're going to win several several states, including Texas and
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Ohio and even Michigan. But with the house, it can
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: be won and lost with two seats locally. Kane in
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: New Jersey and Lawler in New York. Where are they trending?
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: They're both in dogfights, total dogfights. But that's just the
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: way it's going to be. And I still think I
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: think Law is going to win. I think King is
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: going to win. I mean, there were the other issues
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: with the mental health and that stuff. I don't think
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: that's really I don't think that's a big issue. But
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: the candidates running against them are two frauds, you know,
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: that portray themselves as moderates and this and that. And
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: so I still think those toss ups go our way
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: because they're the incumbents. And I still think we have
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: a shot to win the two seats on Long Island,
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: by the way. So, you know, Laura Gillen and Swazi,
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: I think, are still in jeopardy.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Man, he's Republican all the way. Did you hear that? Yep.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: He'll win all four seats.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: If you notice, I stay quiet. Out of respect for
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Rob Astorino.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: That's why you got to listen as I will tomorrow,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: 4 to 5, right here on WOR 710 for more
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: of Rob Astorino's analysis.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: We're 18 days away to the midterms.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: But up next, Natalie has gone out and found an
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: expert about mail theft. We're going to be talking directly
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: to to Frank Albergo, Executive Director of Postal Police Officers Association.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: This is an issue that we've talked about, we and
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: we alone, and you've all said it's systemic in the
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: tri-state area up next. Ladies and gentlemen, for months we
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: have been on this subject of mail theft from your
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: blue mailboxes. I brought it to everybody's attention, but our
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: program director, Tom Cuddy, said, hey, it's systemic where we are,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: and he's out in the suburbs.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: And then, Jim Kerr.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Of 50 years, Classic Rock, said, yeah, I saw it
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: four to five in the morning. Natalie Migliore, our street reporter, yeah,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I saw it four or five in the morning.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: Same MO.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: So we have an expert on the line right now,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Frank Albergo, Executive Director of Postal Police Officers Association.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Frank, why is this so rampant and systemic?
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: Well, thanks for having me, Curtis. Well, Quite frankly, because
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: the Postal Service has been caught with its pants down.
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: You have mail theft, it's at crisis levels. It's a
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: criminal free for all. It's evolved way beyond mailbox phishing.
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: Criminals now have the keys to every mail receptacle in
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: a given zip code. So these are the universal keys
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: that carriers carry. And those keys are being stolen, they're
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: being counterfeited, and criminals are just stealing mail by the pound.
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: And at the same time, while this is happening, while
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: postal crime is skyrocketing, the Postal Service, in their infinite wisdom,
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: decided to strip postal police officers of their law enforcement
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: authority away from postal property and fetch us. So postal
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: police officers, and there are over 100 in New York,
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: are sitting guarding buildings, not protecting the mail. I mean,
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: this is crazy stuff, crazy stuff.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: What's happening.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Well, first of all, if you can give any kind
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: of logic to that, explain what their explanation was. And
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: then also, I just don't understand this. So you are
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: not allowed to go outside of those buildings.
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: Right, so I know this is hard to believe, but
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: this is really what happened. So for 50 years, when
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: mail theft spiked, postal police officers responded. We no longer
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: do that today. We literally just let mail theft get
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: worse and worse. So what happened was in 2020, Postal
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: Legal in Washington DC, so a bunch of lawyers sitting
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: behind a desk decided Postal police officers can no longer
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: do proactive patrolling for mail theft. And the reason is
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: it kind of neuters the union from getting higher wages
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: because we're doing less.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: If you think about it.
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: A Postal Police Officers Association is a labor union, right?
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: We are a police union, but we are a labor
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: union that wants more work for the same pay. And
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: the Postal Service is like, no, we don't want you
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: to do it. It's insane.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Well, Frank, on the issue of what I have witnessed
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: and so many others, bold brazen mail theft right in
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: front of us. The NYPD is doing nothing. I've reported
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: it and they've told me, Curtis, don't knock yourself out.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: They don't want us to make collars and put it
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: on the books anymore. We know what these banditos are
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: looking for.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: Checks.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: They're looking for gift cards, anything of value. And they
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: toss the rest of the mail they steal. It is
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: more important than ever because mail-in balloting starts now. And
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: a lot of these elections are going to be very close.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: That means you can seal your ballot. You'll walk to
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: your mailbox. You mail it. And a lot of it
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: will be discarded. Not that it's part of anybody trying
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: to change the election, but just by these thieves.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: And nobody seems to care, Frank.
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: Right. Well, I mean, that's the problem. This wasn't a
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: decision made by the Postal Inspection Service. So a lot
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: of people don't know the Postal Service has a law
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: enforcement arm. It's called the Postal Inspection Service. And there
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: are postal inspectors who are Basically, criminal investigators think of
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: a detective, and you have postal police officers, which are
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: uniformed officers. Mail theft is a street-level crime. You cannot
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: investigate your way out of a street-level crime. I mean,
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: think of NYPD trying to stop shoplifting by having detectives
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: investigate every instance of shoplifting. It can't be done. You
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: have to proactively patrol, and you have to respond to
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: crime in real time. So the ballots are just the
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: collateral damage of mail theft. So, I mean, this is
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: getting worse and worse and worse. It's been going on
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: for six years now where postal police cannot patrol a
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: balloon collection box that we know is getting hit over.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: And over and over again.
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: And it won't stop.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: What I can't believe is that there's no, is there
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: no way to stop it? I mean, who can people
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: write to? How can we make a change? How can
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: we help? in getting you back on the street, because
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: this makes absolutely no sense.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: Right, so we do have a bill in Congress, H.R. 2095,
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: introduced by New York's own Congressman Garbarino, who's awesome. But
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: quite frankly, that legislation is even unnecessary. The Postal Service,
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: so P.M.G. Steiner, the Postmaster General, can tomorrow say, Postal Police,
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: have jurisdiction.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Okay. I think people are going to be really upset
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: about this, and they're going to be out there. Frank Albergo,
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Executive Director of Post Office Police Officers Association, thank you
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: so much.
