  Speaker 1: Well, Larry, look who's here.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: It's on loan from Mark Simone, Chris, The Quiet Storm.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I've been trying to get him to shut up. My God,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: that guy just talks and talks and talks.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: That's what they say about me, yeah. Let's give you
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: an IQ test here. Proud graduate of Seton Hall, right?
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Yes. Just like Natalie, Natalie, right? Proud graduate of Seton
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Hall Productions.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: What do you notice that's different about this studio today
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: as we begin the morning show?
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: I notice your hat looks a little bit different.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Do not refer to it as a hat. Sorry, your beret.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Your beret looks a little bit different. My apologies.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: That beanie?
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Or a tam. You know, if it had the little
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: twister on top, it would be called a tam. It
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: looks a little fresher. Well, let me give you the
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: origin of this. Yesterday, Larry, remember we joined all our
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: colleagues at iHeart. Sales, promotions, all the shows, all the
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: morning shows were present. And I was publicly humiliated and
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: embarrassed in front of our colleagues. Because Elvis Duran of Z100,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: while surrounded by his posse... looked at me and pointed
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: because he had seen that the sales department had a
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Halloween party the night before and they were wearing red berets.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: And he goes, gee, the red berets on the sales
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: department seem to be so much better than yours. I noticed, Curtis,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: you have your red satin jacket and a dingy, dirty,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: what color is that beret?
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: See, I like the old beret. I like the old beret.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: You know what? What do they call it in fashion
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: when a beret, a distressed? It was distressed.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: It had life to it.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly. It's like you've been a few places. You're right, Chris.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: You're right, Larry.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: But I made the classic mistake of telling my wife, Nancy,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: who is a groupie of Elvis Duran and his show. That,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: you know, your hero humiliated me today. And she goes,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: over what? And then I explained, you know, that he
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: basically said I need a new red beret. And so
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: when I go to sleep at 10 at night, I
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: wake up at 1.30 in the morning and I begin
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: to do my show prep because that's the quietest time
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: of the day it is for me.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I'm looking around for my red beret.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Gone.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Gone.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: So I'm in a panic. You know, this is like
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: you just lost your wallet, right? I'm tossing everything. She
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: probably disposed of it, incinerated it. I have no idea.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: And then there was the backup beret. The backup beret
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: was out, and I said, oh, man, how could she
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: do that to me? And so now I have to
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: style and profile and break in a brand-new red beret.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Here's why you should feel okay about it, because I
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: will be honest to God honest with you. I didn't notice.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: When you came in, I didn't notice there was a
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: different beret. And if he didn't tell you, Chris, now
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: you be honest now, if he didn't tell you it
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: had changed, would you have noticed?
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: I didn't notice before he said something.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, see?
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: I feel like maybe throughout the span of the show,
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: of the morning, I might have figured it out.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, come on. You're barely awake for the span of
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the show. All right, okay.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: You know... Even though I love the support you have
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: lent me on this issue against my wife and Elvis Duran,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: when is the last time you were at an eye
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: check at the Department of Motor Vehicles?
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Because, I mean, it's a big difference. Is it really? Yeah.
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: It's big. I really, honest to God, this isn't like
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: a bet. Honest to God, I didn't notice the difference,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: and I still don't.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: There was wear on the seams. Of his old one.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I like it that way. I like it that way. But, hey,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: you know, the wife has prevailed because of Elvis Duran.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Part two.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I walked into a Chase Bank yesterday. I had to
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: get documents notarized, a whole series of documents. And I
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: had the old torn and tried and true red beret
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: on my head. So a young man is notarizing it.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: And he goes, you know, we saw that video you
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: put up about mailbox theft. because it's systemic everywhere. And
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: he goes, you know, most of my day is spent
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: with people like you.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I know what he meant. My age, you know, boomers.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Walking in here screaming because their checks were stolen that
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: they sent in the mail. And the first thing I
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: tell him is don't mail your checks in the mailbox.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Now this is, uh, your generation, Chris telling my generation that,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Don't trust the blue mailbox. Don't put checks or things
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: of value in the mailbox. You know, bring it, as
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: he said, bring it to the post office or give
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: it to your postal carrier.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: He said people still insist on writing checks. They're angry
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: at me.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I'm warning them, even though I got to try to
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: track down these checks, even our own Natalie Migliore. has
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: said that her parents are old school.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: They write checks. They mail checks.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: No matter how many times she tells them and her
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: sister tells them, you know, there's a good chance that
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: check may not arrive.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Where it's supposed to be. And more importantly, you could
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: be a victim of theft. Doesn't matter. They keep writing
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: checks and mailing them. This is your thing. I mean,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: you've been on this now for a while. This is
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a crusade. It's a campaign. You should call your hand-holding friend,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie, and see if you can do a PSA.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: You know, he wants people not to have the mail-in
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: votes counted, right?
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. Because it's the elderly vote. He
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: wants them stolen. I got it. It's the only vote.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: That he didn't win, the elderly vote. But in reality,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: there's five days left of voting. I don't care who
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: you're voting for. I want you to vote. And if
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: you're going to do it by mail-in votes, because now
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: you're really pressing it. You know, normally it might take
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: the U.S. Postal Service three days to deliver a ballot.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: It has to be delivered by the time your balloting ends,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: whether in New Jersey or New York, on election night.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: We don't have the extended afterwards, like California.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: What is it, 300 days the mail-in ballot can arrive afterwards?
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Then it can be added to the count. So please.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Bring your mail-in ballot to your local post office or
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: give it to your postal carrier. Do not put it
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: in the blue mailbox because of all the theft that's
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: taking place.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: This brings up a lot of really interesting questions. Do
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: you use the mail anymore? When was the last time
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: you and your generation mailed a letter? Me personally, like
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: a letter, I don't.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: Use the mail very often i said sometimes i like
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: when i sell clothes online i'll like go to the
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: post office and drop it off.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Wait a second will you sell clothes online.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: Not like regularly but you know something old things in
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: my closet like i've made like a couple hundred dollars
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: over like a year like on ebay yeah oh not
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: not ebay specifically but a site similar to that that's
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: just for clothes like secondhand clothes yeah you know when
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: i have things that i i've like gone through my
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: closet like i haven't worn this three years and.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: You kept that What? This? Yeah, this shirt?
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just got this like a few months ago.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. The strokes, man.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: You don't go through your closet and then say, I'm
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: going to give this to Goodwill or the Salvation Army.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: No, there are certain things that I give to Goodwill.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: And then there are certain things, like it's usually like
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: old sports jerseys. I have old sports jerseys and I'm like, oh,
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: I could get like 30, 40 bucks for this.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: Oh, sure.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I give hundreds of dollars to Goodwill. I give so
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: much to Goodwill. Just the special ones I sell. There
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: you go. Now, we're immersed in marathon coverage. Larry and
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Natalie will be taking it from beginning to end on Sunday.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: But yesterday.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: A specialist at Northwell Staten Island University Hospital published his research.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Remember about 60 years ago, Larry?
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I remember I was a teenager, and they were telling
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: older people at that time, you need to take 10,000
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: steps a day. You'll live a long life. You'll have
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: less problems. 10,000 steps a day. Well, this guy, the
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: specialist at Northwell Staten Island University Hospital said, you know,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: that would take you two hours of walking every day.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. Nobody took that seriously. Nobody took that seriously.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Did you? Oh, you probably do 10,000 steps anyway. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: It didn't affect me. You didn't even count. No, no,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know anybody that saw that and said, I
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: got to get my 10,000 steps in. I know people
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: that walk every day, which just to keep an elf,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: you know, but. I don't think anybody ever took that seriously.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: What's he saying? How many?
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: He said taking fewer than 2,000 steps is considered sedentary,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: meaning you're inactive. You're more subject to have medical issues.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: So he said try to get it up to like 5,000, 6,000, 7,000,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: and in smaller increments. Don't try to take on too
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: much at one time. But it's still, look, most people
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: are not going to run a marathon. Most people are
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: not going to run. or jog.
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: So this is the best alternative for a lot of
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: our listeners out there is get out and just start
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: walking around.
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of people, especially older walking. I
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: think that message has gotten through, but if it didn't anybody,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: they should get out and walk. And here's what I
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: want to know about the, uh, about the post office.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: How many of you are still mailing letters in a mailbox?
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: It'd be interesting because I don't think I have in
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: a while. I usually had to go to the post
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: office or just do it online. That's a pretty interesting question. Also,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: is there a piece of clothing that you're so attached
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to that you will not get rid of it, like
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: the beret that was thrown in the trash?
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: If I know my wife, Nancy, she disposed of it
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: way away from the apartment.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: See, he could have sold that.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Oh my God.
• 9:53
  Speaker 9: That's what I'm saying.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: That would fetch some money. Oh, no question. Right?
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you see, unlike you, you uber-capitalist looking to
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: make money, I would have donated it to a charity.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: You know how sometimes they'll have it before the charity event.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: They'll have different things showcased. How much will you bid
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: for this?
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Auction it off. Oh, okay. Yeah, you can auction it.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, somebody else can make money from it.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: That's not what you said. Okay.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Somebody's selling it. It doesn't have to be him selling it.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: A church could sell it.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Nancy, probably like a squirrel, you know, hiding nuts, has
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: hid it somewhere.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: But that's a great idea. I'm going to say to you, look,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I give up. No mas, no mas. I got to
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: wear the new beret.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: But please, there are a lot of charities, animal welfare
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: charities that we subscribe to. Why don't you donate my
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: beret to them so they can auction it off?
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: That's a way to get your old beret back. You
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: just say, hey, I need it back because I want
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: to auction it off for a pet charity or a
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: dog charity or something, and she'll go for that cat charity. Yeah,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: but she'll do it herself. She'll say, I'm not giving
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: it to you.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: His hands are never touching that beret again.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: She's way too smart for that. Anyway, if you do
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: want to leave us a talkback on anything we were
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: talking about today, go to the iHeartRadio app and leave
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: us a talkback. You could win a Curtis Sliwa and
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Larry Menti in the morning t-shirt. That's going to be
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: awarded every day to our favorite talkback of the morning.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: And while you're on the free iHeartRadio app, be sure
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: to set a preset for 710WOR. And don't forget, the
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: best talkback of the week takes home a C-Crane radio.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: What are the best ballpark hot dogs in the country?
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: There's a guy that went on a mission to find out,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: and we'll tell you what he came up with, plus
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: a chance to see comedian John Mulaney at age 25.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: You go to a baseball game, you get a hot dog? Oh,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I used to. In fact, I used to try to
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: eat them all.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: I think Chris's favorite team has Nathan's Mets, and I
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: think the Yankees have Sobrettes.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Did you ever get a hot dog at a baseball
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: game and say, man, that was really a good hot dog?
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: All the time. Is that true?
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: I love hot dogs.
• 12:01
  Speaker 10: Really? Yeah.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: So any hot dog is good for you. Well, there's
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: a guy in New Jersey. His name is Rev Ciancio.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: He's a hospitality marketer. And he decided that he was
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: going to visit every ballpark, including some of the minor
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: league ballparks in the country, to find the best hot
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: dog that was out there. Because me, I go and
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I get a hot dog and I don't even think
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: about it. You know what I mean? A hot dog's
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: a hot dog. But I know that there are great
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: hot dogs because I also worked in Chicago for a
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: long time and the best hot dogs are in Chicago.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: And the best hot dogs are at Wrigley Field in Chicago.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: So this guy went out and there was one local,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: this is the way he rates them, by the way,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: He gives it a one through a five, a five
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: being the best. And then you have a hard five,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: which is the best of the best. And you have
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: a soft five, which is just made the five. So
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: there is a five in there locally. And I want
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: to see if you can guess it since you've been
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: to some of the local ballparks and you have tried
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: these hot dogs. I think he probably would have said Trenton. Oh,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: that's an interesting guess. No, Trenton wasn't in the top five.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I'll still see where it is.
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: Is it Coney Island, my mind of these, I think
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: it's called, where the Brooklyn Cyclones play?
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: That's it? Okay.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: That's amazing. This is a real hot dog, man. Yeah,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: that's incredible. I told you I'm a hot dog guy, yeah.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: And wait a minute, Jay. You doubted me.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: I competed in an 18th hot dog eating championship, finished
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: third in 1996.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: But getting back to what I said about Chicago... Well,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: number one is the Redding Fightin' Phillies in Redding, Pennsylvania.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: And then number two was the Chicago Dogs at the
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: American Association. And then the Chicago Cubs was number three
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: in Wrigley Field. They're, like, famous for their hot dogs.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: They really do them up there. The Yankees and Mets
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: were both low on the list.
• 14:02
  Speaker 11: Mm-hmm.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: That's a shame.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Now, I'm more interested in this guy.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: He took this on on his own, right? Yeah. To
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: travel to all these ballpark destinations. No easy feat.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: He has to pay for room and board. He's got
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: to pay for tickets to get in there and then
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: pay for the dogs itself. Boy, it's not like he's
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: a tourist guide or getting paid by any... uh firms
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: to actually go on the road right.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah i have friends that not to eat the hot

  Speaker 3: Been to like 14 of them yeah.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Crash you've done it trash raised his hand you've been
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: to 14 ballparks roughly a rough count in my head
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: yes Yeah, somewhere around there. Crash has been to 40.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: 40? There's still a chunk I haven't been to yet.
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: But me and my dad, we used to go right after,
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: as I would start summer break out of high school,
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: the first week after high school was over, we would
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: go on a trip.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Well, who knew this about Chris the Quiet Storm? Yeah,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: he's got an interesting second life.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, but a father and his son, this
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: is like an all-American story. On the road, visiting ballparks,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: which used to be, you know, considered America's pastime. No longer, unfortunately,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: American smash-mouth football, but To go on the road as
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: you graduated high school to these ballparks, to sample also
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: the people who are coming to the ballpark, the dirty
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: water hot dogs. You've spoken more in this segment than
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: you've spoken in your life.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: We're talking about something he wants to talk about, hot dogs. Now,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: let's get to some talkbacks real fast.
• 15:50
  Speaker 12: I take 10,000 steps daily. It takes me 90 minutes
• 15:55
  Speaker 12: to get to that 10,000 steps. My doctor asked me
• 15:59
  Speaker 12: to start doing a light workout a couple of days
• 16:02
  Speaker 12: a week. So there are a couple of days where
• 16:04
  Speaker 12: I do not do the 10,000 steps. Two or three
• 16:06
  Speaker 12: days if I'm going to do a light workout, then
• 16:09
  Speaker 12: I don't get all my steps in.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Wow. I know there are people that do it still.
• 16:14
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: That really take it as a religion.
• 16:18
  Speaker 14: Good morning, Curtis Larry.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: The loud one, Chris.
• 16:21
  Speaker 14: Hey, listen, the mailbox thing, using the mailbox. Like Larry said,
• 16:25
  Speaker 14: it's a generational thing. For whatever reason, my father will
• 16:28
  Speaker 14: go to the bank if he has to get something.
• 16:30
  Speaker 14: He will mail every check in the world that has
• 16:35
  Speaker 14: to be delivered in some capacity. I check the mailbox
• 16:40
  Speaker 14: once every couple of months, clear out the brochures, clear
• 16:44
  Speaker 14: out the debris, clean the mailbox.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: It's generational. It is absolutely generational. Let's get to Daria
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Albinger with the 630 News, Daria.
• 16:57
  Speaker 15: Morning, guys.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: Sunny and warmer today. We'll see a high of 68 degrees.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: An investigation is underway into a deadly state police-involved shooting
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: last night in New Jersey.
• 17:07
  Speaker 16: A man was reportedly shot in the neck on Wednesday
• 17:09
  Speaker 16: before crashing his car into a building in Munaki. He
• 17:13
  Speaker 16: was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center in unknown condition.
• 17:16
  Speaker 16: It is unclear what led up to the shooting. I'm
• 17:19
  Speaker 16: Lizzie Radabali, WOR News.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: There are reports that unmarked police cars may have been
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: following the man and that there were a number of
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: federal officials working with police at the scene. President Trump
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: will take his midterm blitz to South Carolina today while
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: former President Obama campaigns in Georgia for Democratic candidates. There
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: are five days to the election. Israel could be headed
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: for another election after exit polls showed neither Prime Minister
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition nor the opposition's could secure a majority
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: in Parliament. Police made more than a dozen arrests after
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: anti-ICE protesters stopped traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge.
• 17:54
  Speaker 15: A group of about 30 protesters fanned out on the
• 17:57
  Speaker 15: Manhattan side of the Brooklyn-bound bridge around 12.35 p.m., blocking
• 18:02
  Speaker 15: both car and pedestrian traffic. Two protesters held a yellow
• 18:06
  Speaker 15: sign saying, Stop Shooting Us, a reference to the ice
• 18:10
  Speaker 15: shooting of Oscar Belgal as he and his five-year-old son
• 18:13
  Speaker 15: were both in their car. At least 14 protesters were arrested,
• 18:17
  Speaker 15: not clear on what charges. Video shows drivers arguing with
• 18:21
  Speaker 15: the protesters, including some who said they agreed with their cause,
• 18:25
  Speaker 15: but that blocking the bridge just wasn't fair.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Andrew Whitman, WOR News.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he does it, but he doesn't think he's doing
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: anything wrong. Mayor Mamdani admitting that he and his friends
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: use the NYPD Training Academy gym for late-night pickup basketball games.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: He says he was told it was okay, and he
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: says if there is a problem, he will find somewhere
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: else to play. Knicks win, Devils lose, and Milwaukee wins
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: the World Series. Next news, 7 o'clock bulletins at once.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Up next, wow, Alaska.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Who would have thought the drama coming out now that
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: has Trump weighing in, the DOJ weighing in, the governor
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: of Alaska weighing in, and it's all because, that's right,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, because the New York Times exposed the
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: plot to bring in a second Sullivan.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: All of that up next. Well, I'm just reading another
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: story on Google about a five-year-old girl who was choking
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: at a local football field. And luckily, the sheriff that
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: was there had a life vac in his car and
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: was able to save this little girl's life. Every week,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: over and over and over, there are life saved because
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: somebody was smart enough to have the life vac device.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: I've been telling you about LifeVac, and it's important to
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: know that LifeVac is the first and only FDA-authorized substance.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: anti-choking device to be used as a second-line treatment when
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: the recommended choking protocols, like patting somebody in the back
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: or trying to clear their throat or the Heimlich, have
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: been followed without success. They don't always work. LifeVac works.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: And here's what's remarkable. LifeVac has now helped to save,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: this number keeps climbing, 7,000 lives. 7,000 lives worldwide. Think
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: about that for a second. That's not just a number.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Those are real people, real families, real second chances. Think
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: about the people surrounding you that you love. Have the
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: right tool nearby. Preparedness matters. It makes all the difference
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: in the world. While a bombshell report in the New
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: York Times right before the midterm elections about Mary Peltola,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: who is the Democratic candidate for Senate in Alaska. Now,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: there has been a lot of controversy from the very
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: beginning back in the primary elections about the fact that
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: there was another Dan Sullivan on the ballot. Dan Sullivan is,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: of course, the senator from Alaska who is running for re-election.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: They found a second Dan Sullivan to put on the
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: ballot to try to confuse voters. And I'm saying they
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: did because it now has been proven positive that they did.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: For the longest time, Mary Peltola said that's just crazy talk.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: We had nothing to do with it. But the New
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: York Times says this was orchestrated now for over a year.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: This started back last year that they were searching and
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: searching and searching to find another Dan Sullivan because it's
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: such a common name. And apparently they found 48 of them.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: And then they had to try to convince one of
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: them to run. And they were able to do that.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: And the problem is that so many of the Democratic
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: National Committee knew about this. The Democratic Senate Committee knew
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: about this. In Alaska, they knew about this. in the campaign.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: And they all denied it. Now, Mary Peltola, there was
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: some text with her. One of them is the most
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: damning when they said after the midterms, the plan is working.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: So all along, Dan Sullivan has been out there saying
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: this was all orchestrated. Donald Trump has been saying this
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: is all orchestrated and everybody was calling them crazy. And
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: now apparently it wasn't that crazy after all. For this
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: to happen, this close to the midterm elections where people
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: are still voting up there, and this was razor thin,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: a razor thin election between the two, this is going
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: to give the Republicans Alaska. Now Donald Trump thinks they
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: need to do more than even that. They said they
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: didn't do it and we caught them cold.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: And Mary Peltola should resign from the race, I think
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: she should be prosecuted criminally for what she did.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, there's two bad things with Mary Peltola.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: One was that last year, no, back in September, I
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: should say, back in September, the New York Times did
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: a story because of workplace harassment. Apparently, Mary Peltola goes
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: on tirades against the people that work for her. She
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: curses at them. She's used homophobic slurs against them. So
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: when you tick off your campaign workers, some of them
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: your top aides, and they know that you're involved in
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: a big scandal, this is what happens. If you want
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: to get back at somebody, this is how you get
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: back at somebody. So it was her own staff that
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: turned on her, and apparently there were as many as
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: 12 people that are cited in the New York Times article.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: So this is unbelievably damning. You know, a local reporter
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: caught up with Mary Peltola last night, and, you know,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: he wasn't very good because he didn't ask follow-ups, but
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: this was her answer.
• 24:13
  Speaker 13: I have every confidence that Alaskan voters know what they're doing,
• 24:17
  Speaker 13: and I believe in the rule of law and free
• 24:20
  Speaker 13: and fair elections, and I have... all the faith that
• 24:23
  Speaker 13: this is going to get sorted out in the right way.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: What was that gobbledygook? What the hell was that?
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Well, imagine the irony here. Republicans holding up copies of
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: the New York Times that they always accuse of fake news.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: And Peltola attacking the New York Times saying, oh, they
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: do this just to get clicks, subscriptions.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Nobody at the New York Times cares about affordability in Alaska.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: The New York Times did the research going back to 2025.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: This was in the planning stage between Peltola, her campaign,
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: and Chuck Schumer. because he controls the Senate Finance Committee, signed, sealed,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: and delivered. But this all goes back to the days
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: of JFK, the very famous story that they were proud of.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: All the Kennedys bragged about it. Joe Sr.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: the former ambassador to England, the big movie mogul, wanted
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: his son to be the congressman in Boston. And remember,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: he got him a Pulitzer Prize for Profiles in Courage,
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: supposedly that JFK wrote in Harvard.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: He didn't write a word of that. He bought it.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: And then he goes out and they find a guy
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: whose name is the same as the leading candidate in
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: the Democratic primary.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: And they use that form of tricknology.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: And that's how JFK won his congressional seat and the Senate.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: You know the rest of the story, the presidency of
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: the United States. A lot of these campaigns, they operate
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: on what Vince Lombardi used to say for the Green
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Bay Package.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Winning isn't everything. It's the only thing. I know. I know.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, the New York Times, thank
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: you so much, New York Times. You just kept the Senate,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I believe, for the Republican Party. Because every race, this
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: was going to be so razor close as to whether
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: they kept the Senate. Because they now have 53 seats
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: to 47. I know there's two independents, but they vote
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: with the Democrats. 53 to 47. So we're talking about
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: four seats. And Alaska was one of the ones they
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: were hoping to win. That ain't going to happen now.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: And so if they were able to take Michigan, which
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: I believe is going to happen. I think they're going
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: to come up, Curtis, with 51 seats.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Well, assuming the Democrat wins, the president, the DOJ, and
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: the governor of Alaska, who is a Republican, will move
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: to annul that particular election.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: And that election could be put on hold. Oh, absolutely.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: I think, well, listen, the Justice Department, the DOJ, was
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: already investigating this. And so my belief is she's got
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: bigger problems than just an election. She might get charged
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: for this. I mean, she obviously lied and lied and
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: lied and lied and lied over and over again. But
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: there's a big lesson in this, especially if you're a manager.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: You treat the people under you well, because if they
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: all get together and turn on you, especially in an election,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: and especially if you're doing something sneaky like this... It
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: could end up with you losing the election, but worse
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: than that, it can end up with you in jail.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Up next, we'll give you an update on the continued
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: count of the balloting in the Israeli election and what
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: the outcome might be. Wow, this election cycle internationally with democracies,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: neck and neck polling, neck and neck voting.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: We saw that in Brazil.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: We saw that yesterday with vote returns in Israel continuing
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: to come in. It was neck and neck polling and
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: it's neck and neck. The final ballots are still being counted.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: So it comes down to, Larry, that the two leaders
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: of the pack who are the leaders of the pack
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: in the polls are the sitting Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: and and his right-wing coalition, so that means his party, Likud,
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: and many of the ultra-right-wing parties that he established a
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: government with, they are going to be given the first
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: opportunity to assemble a coalition to give them 61 seats
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: out of the 120 seats in the Knesset. So Herzog,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: the president of Israel, will say, okay, Bibi, you got
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: a week to try to put together 61 seats.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: If Bibi is unable.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: To do it, then the number two guy, Ezenkot, him
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: and his coalition, which aren't that far from being far right,
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: they're a little less conservative, but they agree on a
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: lot of issues, then he's given a week. And then
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: if they can't get it together for 61 votes, Herzog
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: could weigh in and say, well, this is what the
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: plurality of Israelis want. Or, They can just come back
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: and do it all over again. The Arabic parties, there
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: are two of them. One is, ironically, an Arabic Zionist party.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: It is made mostly of Christians who live in Israel,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Christians who are Palestinians. And the other party is mostly
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Muslims who are Palestinians who live in Israel. They don't
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: believe in the state of Israel. They're like a lot
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: of the ultra-Orthodox. So it can get very, very confusing. Well,
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: should point out, they have 19 seats.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Yes. So they are a major player in these negotiations
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: right now. That's really fascinating.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: So obviously, it's highly unlikely that they would join the
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: coalition for Bibi to get 61. But Ezenkot, who ran
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: against Bibi and said, never. Never will I have any
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: of the party members of either of the Arab parties
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: as part of my coalition.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Now he's sort of like vacillating.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Hum-dee-dum, hum-dee-da. And again, this is another nail-biter. It gets
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: down to the fact that when all is said and done,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: just like has happened recently where they had four elections
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: in one year alone, they may have to.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Come back and do it all over again.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Now, normally their process is every four years they have
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: a parliamentary election. But recently, because of the neck and
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: neck races involving Bibi and his challengers, there have been
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: as many as four in one year. So voters had fatigue,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: but not in this turnout. It was a world record turnout.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Everybody coming, including those Israelis who live overseas, about 50,000
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: of them who are able to vote, except there's one
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: day of voting, there's no mail-in balloting, and you must
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: be at one of the 16 polling locations in Israel
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: and cast your ballot in person. which requires you fly in.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: And obviously you spend a few days in order to
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: cast your vote.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Here's what's fascinating to me. Well, a couple of things
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: are fascinating. If they end up having to have another election,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: how many of the tens of thousands of people that
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: flew black to Israel to vote are going to do
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: it a second time or even can afford to do
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: it a second time. So it's going to be interesting.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: There's probably going to be less votes, but I was
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: watching CNN and they had their you know, Israeli expert
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: from Israel that was being asked the question. Now, if
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: they end up with another election, where would the hell
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: would that go? And he said, I have no idea.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: He said, I didn't even see this one coming the
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: way it came right now. This is a nightmare scenario
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: for everybody because it sounds like you have three sides,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: possibly five sides, that don't get along, that don't want
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: to work with each other. And it's going to be
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: interesting to see over the next couple of weeks to
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: see who is going to give in and what they're
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: going to get in return. This is horse trading going
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: on right now. Oh, yeah. A lot of quid pro quo.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: But remember, Bibi has gone on record as saying he
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: wants to renew the attacks on Iran right after the midterms,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: his election, meaning his election, and Trump has likewise said
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: the same. So will that have an impact if they
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: have to do it all over again? Because Bibi wants
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: regime change. He wants to do bombing throughout Iran. His opponent, Escanada, said, no, no,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: I support Trump's economic pressure on Tehran and also their
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: desire to bomb the nuclear weapons site.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: So if you notice, they don't.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: They don't really differ all that much in terms of
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: wanting to get Iran.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Battling Hezbollah in Lebanon.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: I don't think any of the people who voted for
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Bibi or voted for Esenkat and his coalition will change
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: voting again.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: I think you're going to end up getting the same results. Well,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: since they're so close politically and they're so close in
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: their desires... There may be. They may be able to
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: work out something. It doesn't seem like that now. And
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: it sounds to me like every of the experts say
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like that right now.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Having been in Israel from Golan Heights to Eilat, Israelis
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: are very astute politically.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: They almost never agree on anything.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, I had to get in between more shouting
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: matches of people who differ in a very small– they
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: have like 30 parties in Israel.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: So to be continued. Self-interest and power is going to
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: play into this, and that really determines this. If somebody
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: is offered enough, if they get a I-can't-say-no offer, that's
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: going to be pretty fascinating. We talked a moment ago
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: about the big scandal in Alaska– Our White House and
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Washington correspondent John Decker was in Alaska with the president.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: We'll ask him if he has any insights into it.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he will when we come back after the
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: 7 o'clock news. Well, there's so much going on with
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: the midterm, so much going on with Donald Trump traveling
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: around the country. And, of course, we have that scandal
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: playing out in Alaska that we just told you about
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: a moment ago. That's why we're fortunate to have John
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Decker here. John Decker is the WOR White House and
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Washington correspondent and host of the podcast, The White House
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Briefing Room with John Decker, which can be found on
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. And John, we're fortunate to have you
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: this morning because I know you traveled with the president
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: to Alaska. You interviewed him there. And there was rumblings
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: about this potential scandal. that the Peltoa campaign kept saying, no, no, no,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: that's ridiculous. And now we find out from the New
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: York Times that it may be all true. What did
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: you hear when you were there, and are you surprised
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: at this outcome?
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm not surprised by the outcome and the reporting
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: in the New York Times, which has not been matched
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: by anybody. That's because this reporter was so good. He
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: has all of his sources locked up. in terms of
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: this story. And do I have any doubts about the
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: veracity of this story? No, I don't.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: Now, when I was out in Alaska, Senator Dan Sullivan,
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: who I interviewed, spoke about this. He believed that there
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: was essentially dirty tricks being perpetrated by the Peltola campaign
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: as it relates to the constituent named Dan Sullivan also running.
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: And the Peltola campaign, denied any such involvement in Dan Sullivan,
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: the constituent, wanting to run for the U.S.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Senate.
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: I think that this has a major impact on that race.
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: And I say that thinking before that story came out
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: that Mary Peltola was going to win that race. And
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: she may still win that race. Remember, they have a
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: lot of early voting there. A lot of votes have
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: already been cast. So this story may not have the
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: kind of impact that it would have had had it
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: come out, let's say, two months ago. But it will
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: have an impact. And in a very close race, I
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: think it will have a negative impact on Mary Peltola.
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: And as a result, I think that Dan Sullivan is
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: going to eke out a victory in that race.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Interesting.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: Now, John Decker, I see people who are running around
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: the White House extolling the virtues of the New York Times.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Pulitzer Prize, Pulitzer Prize. I thought for all these years
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: it was fake news.
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: Right. Yeah, they're a Pulitzer Prize-worthy news organization when they
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: come out with a story that benefits the administration, right?
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: That's what we're seeing here. This was great reporting on
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: the part of this reporter. I think there's just one
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: reporter involved in this, and boy, he really was able
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: to track things down. He even had a former campaign
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: manager for Mary Peltola actually go on the record and
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: talk about how the Peltola campaign was involved in looking
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: for an individual.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: In the voter rolls.
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: Who had the same name as the incumbent Republican Senator
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: Dan Sullivan. And they got somebody, this person from a
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: remote fishing village in Alaska, to decide to run for
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: the U.S. Senate. He got 2.5% of the vote in
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: the primary, but that was enough to move him on
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: to the general election where the top four finishers are competing.
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: And so we'll see. We'll see ultimately what happens. next Tuesday.
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: It's going to be a while, by the way, for
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: us to know who wins that particular race. And the
• 37:40
  Speaker 6: reason I say that is based upon what happened in
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: the primary. It takes a while to count votes from
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: certain remote parts of Alaska. And to get a final
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: vote count, I think it's going to take a few days.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: What I really loved about the story, and you're going
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: to appreciate this, is not only a journalist, but an attorney,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: was how a few of the people that were involved
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: and the sources that were involved, especially the named sources
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: like the campaign manager, tried to pull out at the
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: very end. And the New York Times wrote that entire thing,
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: that why they weren't going to allow it to be
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: pulled out and why they tried to pull out. I
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: thought that was fascinating. Not only was it a good read,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: but it is also smart on their part because it
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: stakes their claim higher. to this is why we did
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: it and this is why it's legal.
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just straight shooting with the readers explaining what
• 38:33
  Speaker 6: happened behind the scenes. Those individuals went on the record.
• 38:39
  Speaker 6: On the record, they cooperated with the reporter in going
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: on the record, describing what happened, describing how this constituent
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: named Dan Sullivan ultimately was recruited to run for this
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: senate seat and i think that that's a good thing
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: for a news organization trying to win credibility with readers
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: and maintain its credibility. And the New York Times did
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: a good job in terms of doing that.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Now, John Decker, if I had invested in Cheesecake Factory stock,
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: I'd probably be swimming in dough. The two superstars of
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: their respective parties, President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama,
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: can't stop talking about Cheesecake Factory when attacking one another,
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: including even the Treasury Secretary went to the local Cheesecake
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: Factory there in the greater D.C.
• 39:31
  Speaker 17: Area.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Have you ever seen anything like this?
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I have, because, you know, both Barack Obama and
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: Donald Trump, it's pretty clear, they're not fans of one another.
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: And in the 2024 campaign for president, in the 2016
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: campaign for president, in the 2020 campaign for president. They
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: both said unflattering things about each other. They do not
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: hide their dislike for each other. So no, it doesn't
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: surprise me at all. And, you know, you have to
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: go back all the way to when President Barack Obama
• 40:07
  Speaker 6: was in the White House as president, that White House
• 40:10
  Speaker 6: Correspondents Dinner, in which he devoted pretty much his entire
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: speech at the White House Correspondents Dinner to insulting a
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: private citizen named Donald J. Trump.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: You know, you're a veteran at the White House. You've
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: been through several administrations. And I know you've been through
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: these scenarios that we're about to see where an opposing
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: party either takes one of the chambers of Congress or
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: both of them and what that means. So what can
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: we expect from your experience over the next couple of
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: years in both of those scenarios? They take one, they
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: take the House, and the Democrats I'm talking about take
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: the House and then lose the Senate, or if they
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: win both?
• 40:52
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, if you had asked me yesterday before
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: this news regarding the New York Times story about the
• 40:59
  Speaker 6: Peltola campaign, I would have said that I think the
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: Democrats will win both the House and the Senate. So
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: I think the Alaska race changes things in terms of
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: my calculations. I think that after the midterms, Democrats will
• 41:16
  Speaker 6: control the House. They won't control the Senate, but it
• 41:18
  Speaker 6: will be a very narrow majority. And also keep in mind,
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: I think Susan Collins is going to win. And she
• 41:24
  Speaker 6: is one of those independent minded Republicans, along with Lisa Murkowski,
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: which means that the president cannot always count on a
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: unified Republican Party to support all of his nominations, for instance.
• 41:35
  Speaker 6: So it's not as simple as just saying, you know,
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: one is controlled by the House. The House is controlled
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: by the Democrats and the Senate is controlled by Republicans.
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: I think it's going to be a really narrow victory
• 41:49
  Speaker 6: for Republicans in the Senate in particular.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: What it means?
• 41:53
  Speaker 6: It means that the president's legislative agenda will stall. He
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: can't get things through Congress. And as a result, I
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: think it's going to frustrate him. The other day, I
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: asked the president about this, Larry. I asked the president,
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: are you prepared for political gridlock after the midterms? And
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: You know, the president, I think it's so interesting because
• 42:14
  Speaker 6: for most politicians, you ask that question, Larry and Curtis,
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: they say, I'm not going to talk about hypotheticals. First
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: of all, we're going to win. I'm not going to
• 42:23
  Speaker 6: talk about a hypothetical situation. The president actually took the
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: question on and he said, well, if we lose, he
• 42:30
  Speaker 6: actually said it, if we lose, it will mean that
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: I will veto everything that comes my way if Democrats
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: control both houses of Congress. And then that will force them,
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: the president told me, to compromise, to compromise on legislation.
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: So the president's prepared for that possibility. The president's prepared
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: for being bipartisan, bipartisanship, should Republicans lose control of both
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: the House and the Senate.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, fascinating.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: John, the president is on his way to South Carolina.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: He should take residency there because of all the golf
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: courses in Myrtle Beach. Why is he there so much?
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: This Graham campaign... seems to be losing the support of
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: some well-known Republicans.
• 43:15
  Speaker 6: Well, you're right. So Ralph Norman is a congressman, and
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: he was in that runoff Republican Senate primary against Darlene Graham,
• 43:24
  Speaker 6: and he lost, and he's still really angry about it.
• 43:28
  Speaker 6: He's in his early 70s. He spent his whole life
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: in Republican Party politics. He saw this as a great
• 43:34
  Speaker 6: opportunity to finally be a U.S. senator, and then what
• 43:37
  Speaker 6: does President Donald Trump do He says, I'm endorsing someone
• 43:42
  Speaker 6: who's never been a politician, the sister of Lindsey Graham.
• 43:45
  Speaker 6: And that's angered his family in particular. His entire family
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: has publicly said, we are voting for Annie Andrews, the
• 43:54
  Speaker 6: opponent of Darlene Graham. I don't know if that impacts
• 43:57
  Speaker 6: the way other Republicans feel or the way the supporters
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: of Ralph Norman feel, but the president is very nervous.
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: This race has gotten very close. There's been polling which
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: shows that the race is now tied statistically, and the
• 44:12
  Speaker 6: president feels it's necessary to go down to South Carolina
• 44:16
  Speaker 6: for another time to help out Darlene Graham with another
• 44:19
  Speaker 6: campaign rally.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Well, you made a couple of predictions. You talked about
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Dan Sullivan and you talked about Maine. What do you
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: think about Michigan and Texas?
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: Two different things. So I think that it's interesting that
• 44:35
  Speaker 6: you asked me that question, Larry, because I think that
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: of these two states, it's where both parties have flawed candidates.
• 44:43
  Speaker 6: Republicans have a flawed candidate in Texas with Ken Paxton
• 44:48
  Speaker 6: for all the scandals and political baggage that he has.
• 44:52
  Speaker 6: And Democrats have a flawed candidate in Abdul El-Sayed for
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: all the reasons that we know his support of Hassan Piker,
• 45:01
  Speaker 6: his campaigning with Hassan Piker, the things that he said
• 45:04
  Speaker 6: out on the campaign trail even before running for the U.S. Senate.
• 45:09
  Speaker 6: I think that in Texas, that's going to be the
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: big surprise of this election cycle because a Democrat hasn't
• 45:15
  Speaker 6: won statewide since 19... What's her name? A governor....
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: Help me out here.
• 45:25
  Speaker 6: She was.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: I can't remember.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: Early 90s.
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: Ann Richards?
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: Ann Richards.
• 45:34
  Speaker 6: Thank you so much, Larry. Since Ann Richards won statewide,
• 45:37
  Speaker 6: that's going back to the early 90s. But I think
• 45:39
  Speaker 6: that James Tallarico is going to pull out a victory there.
• 45:42
  Speaker 6: You know, I talked to so many Texas Republicans when
• 45:45
  Speaker 6: I was down at the Republican midterm convention in early September,
• 45:50
  Speaker 6: and they told me, this candidate, their candidate, Ken Paxton,
• 45:53
  Speaker 6: is so bad. They told me at that time, he's
• 45:56
  Speaker 6: just not going to win. So I think that that's
• 45:59
  Speaker 6: going to be the surprise of this midterm election. As
• 46:02
  Speaker 6: it relates to Michigan, I know what the betting markets say.
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: The betting markets say Abdul Sayed is going to win.
• 46:09
  Speaker 6: I know what the polls say. They say Abdul El-Sayed's
• 46:12
  Speaker 6: going to win. I think they're wrong. I think that
• 46:15
  Speaker 6: Mike Rogers is going to win that race, and it's
• 46:18
  Speaker 6: because El-Sayed is a flawed candidate for all the reasons
• 46:22
  Speaker 6: that we know. And so, interestingly enough, it will be
• 46:26
  Speaker 6: a pickup the way I see it. for Democrats in Texas,
• 46:29
  Speaker 6: and a pickup for Republicans in the state of Michigan.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Wow, that was great, John. I'll tell you what, I've
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: always avoided asking you about races and who you thought
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: was going to win because I thought you wouldn't answer.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: But man, that analysis was perfect. Way to go. That
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: was great. Well, I say way to go. You've been
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: doing this for years. John Decker, WR White House and
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: Washington correspondent and host of the podcast, The White House
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: Briefing Room with John Decker, which can be found on
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. Thanks a lot, John. That was fascinating.
• 46:59
  Speaker 6: Thanks, Larry. Thanks, Curtis.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: Bye-bye. Line has thousands of quality. Remember, Curtis, a couple
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: of years ago, almost to the day, there was a
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: story about a cruise for life. It was some people
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: that had this great idea. They were going to buy
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: a cruise ship. Then you can buy a cabin on
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: the cruise ship. You get it for life. You pay
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: a monthly fee, and they take you around the world.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: Remember that? Oh, yeah. It's sort of like you had
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: your own condo on the ship. Exactly. And what could
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: go wrong? It was expensive. I mean, listen, $ 119, 000 to
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: $ 439, 000 was the cabin prices. Then you had to pay
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: either $ 3, 500 or $ 11, 000 a month. You know, to keep
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: the ship going. Yeah, maintenance fee. Yeah, and also for
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: everything you get on the ship, you know, the food
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: and all of that kind of stuff.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, the bacon, you know, the buffet that everybody lines
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: up for. You're guaranteed extra bacon. Well, it's a sad
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: day for Cruise for Life. Almost exactly two years later,
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: the boat went out of commission.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Listen to this. In Cambodia, it went out of commission.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: Worst place you could possibly go out of commission. The
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: only other place would be Mogadishu in Somalia where the
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: pirates had taken you over.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: Now, they tell people they're going to get them back home,
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: but what they're saying is the cost was not what
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: they expected. They just are losing too much money on
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: this proposition that they thought was going to make money.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: It's really funny. The people that actually bought the things...
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: They're not upset about being left off in Cambodia. They're
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: upset about not being able to cruise for life.
• 48:42
  Speaker 8: Absolutely loved every minute of it. And it's really super
• 48:48
  Speaker 8: sad that it's no longer. And I hope that there
• 48:55
  Speaker 8: is a movement for the residents to buy the ship.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: They want to buy the love boat. They want to
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: all get together. Now, these are some people that must
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: have a nice retirement savings, and they're all getting together.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: The average age was in 60s or 70s, and it
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: was just people that wanted to go out with a
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: Wonderful experience, you know, it's a great. It's a great
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: great idea I wish them the best but I had
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: a feeling they don't know how much money that's gonna
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: be She wasn't the only one who said that there
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: were many of them that said they all want to
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: get together and buy the boat now Let's get some
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: talk backs.
• 49:38
  Speaker 7: I did take it seriously. I accidentally i caught looked
• 49:42
  Speaker 7: one day and i walked 327 days in a row
• 49:47
  Speaker 7: of over 10 000 steps that wasn't deliberate but then
• 49:52
  Speaker 7: i realized i could keep going so i am now
• 49:55
  Speaker 7: at 500 days of over 10 000 steps now it's
• 50:00
  Speaker 7: a challenge.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Wow we talked about how 60 years ago that was
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: the It's sort of the pinnacle. You got to do
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: 10,000 steps a day to live a longer life so
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: you could cruise the.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: Rest of your life.
• 50:12
  Speaker 18: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: I will tell you what. We've had a couple of
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: people now that have called in and sweared by it
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: because we were talking about, you don't have to do 10,000.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: You could do 2,000. But they swear by it.
• 50:24
  Speaker 18: Speaking of hot dogs, Curtis should know this. The best
• 50:27
  Speaker 18: hot dog place in New York is probably Great Papayas
• 50:30
  Speaker 18: on 8th Street and 6th Avenue. I could be eating
• 50:34
  Speaker 18: a $ 200 steak dinner at Old Homestead.
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: If I drive by, great papayas.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: Got to drop by, grab a couple of dogs.
• 50:40
  Speaker 18: Have a good one, guys.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: Now, I'm no longer the expert here on Hot Dogs.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: That was proven this morning by the quiet storm, Chris.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: Did you believe not only how much he spoke? He's
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: on loan from Mark Simone. But what a hot dog
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: connoisseur he is, Larry. He outdid me with the hot dogs.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: He perked up. Yeah. We know now how to get
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: him to talk. There you go.
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: Ask me about hot dogs.
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: We'll bring in one. Okay. Please.
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: Let me eat them on the air. I'll eat a
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: hot dog anyway.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: My God. This has brought out a new Chris that
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: we never knew of before. Hot dogs. I'm looking real
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: quick to see what the best hot dogs in New
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: York are. It says, oh, Gray's Papaya. That's number one.
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the consensus among a lot of people.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's what he was just talking about, right? Gray's Papaya.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: Way to go. See, I recuse myself now.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: You are the hot dog expert here at 710WOR, Chris,
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: the Quiet Storm.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: Congratulations. Thank you.
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: I wear that title with honor.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: Now let's get to Daria Albinger with the 730 News. Daria. Morning, guys.
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: Do you ever go to Hiram's in New Jersey?
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: Hiram's?
• 51:48
  Speaker 13: No.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: Where's that?
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: That's in Fort Lee, New Jersey. It is worth the trip.
• 51:52
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 51:52
  Speaker 13: Yep.
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: Maybe I'll bring some in for you guys some morning.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: I didn't know we had so many hot dog aficionados here.
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: Sunny and warmer today. High 68 degrees. Five days to
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: the election. It's crunch time for the candidates and for
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: their surrogates. President Trump will be in South Carolina. He's
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: looking to drum up support for Republicans.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: On the ballot.
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: Former President Obama will be in Georgia on the stump
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: for Democrats. Voters in Israel may be headed to another
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: election after neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition nor the
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: opposition could secure a majority in parliament.
• 52:23
  Speaker 19: This was a real roller coaster of an election night.
• 52:26
  Speaker 19: The way this works is this is a parliamentary system
• 52:28
  Speaker 19: in Israel. So people don't vote for candidates. They vote
• 52:31
  Speaker 19: for parties. So you cast your vote for a party,
• 52:33
  Speaker 19: and then it's up to those parties. The parties get
• 52:35
  Speaker 19: a certain amount of seats in the parliament. They have
• 52:37
  Speaker 19: to work together to form a majority coalition. And then
• 52:39
  Speaker 19: that's what ends up staffing the new government, the new
• 52:42
  Speaker 19: prime minister, ministries, etc.
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: ABC's Matt Rivers. New Jersey's attorney general is looking into
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: a fatal shooting by a state trooper. It happened yesterday
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: in Munaki. The trooper firing on a driver who then
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: crashed into a building. The faculty at Cornell University is
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: moving forward with a no confidence vote in the school's leadership.
• 53:01
  Speaker 20: The vote of no confidence ties back to how Cornell's
• 53:04
  Speaker 20: administration handled the alleged 2024 Chi Phi sexual assault of
• 53:09
  Speaker 20: a former student identified in a recent lawsuit as Jane Doe.
• 53:13
  Speaker 20: Doe alleges she was gang raped and forced into doing
• 53:16
  Speaker 20: drugs at the fraternity's house. The meeting to debate whether
• 53:19
  Speaker 20: faculty should hold a vote of no confidence lasted a
• 53:21
  Speaker 20: half hour longer than expected, and Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff
• 53:25
  Speaker 20: was not present. Online voting is set to open Friday
• 53:28
  Speaker 20: and last about a week. Natalie Migliore, WOR News.
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: And 14 years ago today, Superstorm Sandy slammed the tri-state area.
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: It caused more than $ 30 billion in damages to the
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: Jersey Shore. and flooded the city's subway system. It also
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: prompted the National Weather Service to include storm surge warnings
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: to better communicate the threat of coastal flooding. Knicks win,
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: Devils lose, and Milwaukee won the World Series. Next news,
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: 8 o'clock bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710 WOR.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, Daria, you mentioned that place. I
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: looked it up. It's Hiram's? Is that what it's called? Hiram's, yeah.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: Hiram's in Fort Lee. It's number two on the list
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey after the Rutt Hut in Clifton.
• 54:10
  Speaker 4: Yes, where you can get the ripper, the deep fried
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: hot dog.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: Listen to her.
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: You know, this used to be one of my expertises.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: I got to give it up. Between the quiet one, Chris,
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: and our news gal. My mic can never get her
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: name right. That's okay. They know more about hot dogs
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: than me.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: It's amazing. They know where the best hot dog places are.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: I didn't know it was such a hot topic. Izzy
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: came in, who's cutting audio for us today, and said Johnny's.
• 54:39
  Speaker 8: Yes. Yeah.
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: Johnny's, too. And you're from Pennsylvania, so you don't know
• 54:44
  Speaker 4: about Yakko's?
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know about Yakko's.
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: Yakko's in Allentown? Really good.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: Well, Allentown's a ride.
• 54:51
  Speaker 6: True.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Allentown is not someplace I would go to.
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: I figured your travels might have taken you through there
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: at one point.
• 54:56
  Speaker 6: Oh, no.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: I go up there. I just don't go, hey, while
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: I'm here, I'm going to have a hot dog. That's all. Thanks, Daria.
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: You should do a podcast on hot dogs.
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: Anyway, up next, oh, man, the drama in Michigan. You
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: just heard John Decker. He predicted that Mike Rogers would
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: pull it out. But we're going to update you on
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: all the drama. I don't think any campaign has had
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: more different kinds of drama than are affecting the U.S.
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: Senate run of El Saeed, the Democrat, versus Mike Rogers,
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: the Republican.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: Up next. Another neck and neck race for the U.S.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: Senate in Michigan between El Saeed, the Democrat, and Mike Rogers,
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: the Republican. But a lot of melodrama. It's a soap opera.
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: So we take it back to the primary. Remember, El-Sayed
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: was favored by about eight points going into the primary.
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: The weekend before, he's at a pool party and they're
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: dancing to Eminem songs. You know, it's like him and
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: his staff.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: We got it. We got it.
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: He just barely won by one percentage point against Haley Stevens.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: Haley Stevens, who was the choice of a lot of
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: Jews and moderate Democrats. We know El-Sayed, the choice of
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: the DSA and a lot of Muslims.
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: So he barely wins that.
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: And the very next day, she does the party thing
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: and professes loyalty to his candidacy. Haley Stevens said, I'm
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: going to support El-Sayed. Well, things have changed radically. Let
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: me use that term radically. Because apparently the conversations back
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: and forth haven't gone that well between both camps. So yesterday,
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: her fiance is at a rally for Mike Rogers and goes, look,
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: you know, Haley will do what she's going to do.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: She's a loyal Democrat. But I'm on board with Mike Rogers.
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: Then Haley Stevens is doing all these interviews where she
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: always prefaces it. Now, I want you to know I'm
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: voting for El Saeed, but and then she lists a
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: whole bunch of reasons. why she thinks El-Said is not
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: a good candidate. So the drama continues in Michigan. And
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: just to let you know, remember his foray up into
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: the Upper Peninsula where he was a country western star
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: with the American... cowboy hat, red, white, and blue, and
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: he was dancing. Apparently, in the polls, he's done well,
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: and Mike Rogers is doing well because he's living in
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: the African-American community in Detroit, and they're a bit jaundiced
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: about El-Said. So they're all going to places. where they
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: need to change the votes. Because let's face it, they
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: both believe it's a neck and neck race. I don't
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: think anybody doubts it. But El-Sayed has replaced Zoran as
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: the menace in America. Remember at first it was Zoran, AOC,
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: and Bernie Sanders. El-Sayed is the face of what you
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: don't want, according to the Republicans and some moderate Democrats
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: in America.
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: And to show you the effect, you know how in Ohio.
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: Ohio hates Michigan.
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: Michigan hates Ohio and football. Ohio State versus Michigan.
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: Well, last night, the president was in Ohio, you know,
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: to try to help the ticket there, especially Vivek. But
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: then Senator Bernie Marino comes on, well-respected in Ohio. He
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: said nothing about Republicans in Ohio. He said, El-Sayed should
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: be disqualified because he does not accept Jesus Christ as
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: a savior. Do you think that he understands the concept
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: that our rights come from God Almighty, that Jesus came
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: here for our salvation?
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: So that was like, whoa, shots across the bow.
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: Because, you know, a lot of the Ohio media is
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: covered in Michigan and vice versa because they're so close.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: And then earlier, like two days before, RFK Jr.
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: who is the secretary of our health, a Maha guy,
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: he was at a rally in Michigan for Mike Rogers,
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: and he said, Arabs do not produce science or literature
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: and have never won major international awards. Obviously, that took
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: his own Maha supporters by surprise, because they.
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: Have won awards.
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: And when I talked to some of the MAHA people,
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: I said, look, I recuse him for one reason. His daddy, remember, RFK,
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: who had just won that very close California Democratic primary
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: against Gene McCarthy, was on his way to accept a
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: Democratic nomination, 68%. In Chicago, their contentious convention was shot
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: and killed by Sirhan Sirhan in the kitchen of the
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: hotel where he gave his victory speech. That's when I
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: first learned about the Palestinian-Israeli problem because Sirhan Sirhan, still
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: locked up, is a Palestinian and said he did it
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: because of that. And I'm trying to, what the hell
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: did RFK running for president have to do with Palestinians
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: and Israel?
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: So let's face it, on that one... That's too close
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: to home. Let's get back to Michigan for a second
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: because I've never thought El-Sayed was going to win because
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: I thought he was a phony. And you're right. He
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: is not Zoran Mamdani. Zoran Mamdani, you're right, was held
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: up as the villain. But Zoran Mamdani is slick. Like,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: I think he is a very gifted politician. I think
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: he's dangerous. I think he represents everything I detest, except
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: for the fact that he knows how to handle it.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: El-Sayed has always come off as a little mean and
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: a little demeaning. And I think you're seeing a lot
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: more of that now. That's why I never really thought
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: he was going to win. People compared him to Mamdani.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: He's not Mamdani. He's not as good with Mamdani. He's
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: got a short circuit. And now, as the polls are
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: going the other way, and there's a lot of people
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: now predicting he's going to lose, he's getting angrier and
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: angrier and angrier, which is going to keep hurting him.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: And the person he blames more than anyone else is
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. on podcast after podcast and interview after interview.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: They can ask him anything and he goes after Trump.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 21: We are being actively bullied by the dumbest people in
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 21: the room. And I mean, Donald Trump is an idiot.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 21: Whatever you think about him, he has one genius, which
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 21: is the genius of getting attention, which is because, you know,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 21: his dad never gave him enough. And so he, because
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 21: he was a nepo baby, because he had resources and,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 21: realized quickly that he just craved for attention and then
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 21: used the bullying tactics that he uses right now to
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 21: get it.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: That was only a little clip of what he did.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: He went on and on and on. They would ask
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: him other questions and he'd go back to Donald Trump.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: He's furious that he thought he had this thing won
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: and he's going to end up losing.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: One thing that El-Sayed does better than Zoran is he
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: dances better country-western than Zoran.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a low bar. That was pretty impressive. Come on,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: admit it, Larry. He held his belt buckle and swayed
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: back and forth. You've got to do a little bit
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: better than that. That's not all of it.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: Up next, oh, Natalie Megliore, back from the streets, giving
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: us feedback of the upcoming marathon that will be hosted
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: here at WOR710 by our own Larry and Natalie Megliore.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: From beginning, throughout the race, and the post-race.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 22: Now, it's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: Up from the streets with the pre-marathon conversations with the peeps.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: What did you come up with, Natalie?
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 20: What I came up with is it's not me that's
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 20: going to be running the marathon, so don't get so excited, gentlemen.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not that excited.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 9: I'm excited. We're going to be live that morning.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 20: You, me, Tim McClune, Natalie's going to be running the show.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: None of us are running the.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: Marathon, though. We have people from here that are running
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: the marathon. Oh, yeah. There's several people.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 21: Oh, yeah.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: None of them are very good, but they're running.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 9: But they'll post a time.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 9: We'll see how long it takes. They'll finish. Exactly.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll see.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 20: But we're just a few days away from the best
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 20: day in New York City. And I'm not talking about
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 20: Halloween because Marathon Day, the TCS New York City Marathon
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 20: falls the day after Halloween on Sunday, November 1st. This
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 20: year marks 50 years since the 26.2 mile course expanded
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 20: to all five boroughs. And I caught up with George Hirsch,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 20: who is one of the five men who worked to
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 20: bring the Five Borough journey to life in a very
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 20: unlikely time. Because at that time, the city was on
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 20: the brink of financial ruin. And when George ran it,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 20: only about 2,000 people ran it.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 9: It feels like each year the marathon.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 20: Gets bigger and bigger with 60,000 people expected to finish
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 20: this year, guys.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 9: So could George have ever imagined this?
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 11: This is beyond my wildest imagination. I'd like to say
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 11: I've got a vision, but I never saw it at
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 11: this level.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 20: How does it feel when you watch these thousands of
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 20: people every year pounding the streets that you helped start this?
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 11: Yeah, and I pounded them. I ran that first marathon
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 11: back then in 1976. It just gives me a wonderful sense.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 11: I feel very privileged to have been part.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: Of all of this.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 9: Now, 50 years.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 20: And I talked to David, who has pretty much been
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 20: a part of it all, too, because I walked up
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 20: on David standing right next to a picture that's up
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 20: along the metal barricades that line the course in Central Park.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 9: That picture is. It's of him, okay?
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 20: People stopping to take pictures with him and of him
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 20: and to talk to him.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 23: And why?
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 17: This is my 48th New York City Marathon.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 9: What keeps you coming back?
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: I like to eat a lot.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 17: And it's just something I do in most mornings. And
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 17: it's just a very good thing for me up here. And,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 17: you know, I like it. I like the way I
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 17: look at 74. My face has wrinkles, but my body doesn't.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 17: And it's a good thing.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 20: Listen, the second he said, I like to eat, I
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 20: was like, I better start running because.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 9: I like to eat too, David.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 24: But for someone who is so seasoned, 48 New York
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 24: City marathons, 48 of them, I had to ask him,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 24: for tips for first-time runners.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 17: I would say pick up your number on Thursday. It's
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 17: a lot less crowded. And if you're running for a
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 17: particular time, push yourself a little bit before the start
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 17: so that you don't get jammed up too much at
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 17: the beginning of the race so that you could just
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 17: start and go straight without going around people. But that's
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 17: how I would do it.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 20: Now, at the height, he said he ran three hours
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 20: and 25 minutes.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: That's great.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 20: But with George, who ran the original race, he has
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 20: a little bit of a different philosophy. You can see
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 20: the appreciation for the course and the city in how
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 20: he advises first-time runners to take it all in.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 11: If you haven't ran it before, there's so much... Energy
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 11: and adrenaline at the start. Go out slowly, more slowly
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 11: than you thought. In fact, I would say stay rather
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 11: sleepy for the first six miles. Don't even wake up
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 11: a little bit. And then when you get to First Avenue,
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 11: where it's just a block of noise on both sides
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 11: of you, slow down. Because those people can make you
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 11: start to run fast. And you know, you got 10
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 11: miles to go and that's a lot of distance. So, uh,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 11: in other words, the answer is run within yourself. This
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 11: is a 26 mile foot race.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 20: Now, anybody who listening may not be, uh, running the marathon,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 20: but if you know people who are share this with them,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 20: because a lot of first time runners, a lot of
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 20: people strive for this, like to, to do the 26.2
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 20: miles across New York city. Um, You know, I wake
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 20: up on Monday after the marathon and I think, I'm
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 20: going to do it next year.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 6: Do you really? Yeah.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 9: And then a week later, I'm like, yeah, it's.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: Not for me. Not for me. Did you try? Do
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: you go out and run a little bit?
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 9: Yeah, like then I start running like five, six miles.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 9: And then I'm like, you know what? That's enough for me.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 22: So.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 9: But my brother-in-law's running. I'm on 8th. I'm always at
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 9: mile 8.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 20: Ken Rosato's at mile 20. You and Tim and Natalie
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 20: in Central Park. And it's going to be great. We're
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 20: going to have a great, fun time watching people run
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 20: while we stand there.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: And coming up, we have Rob Similcare, who runs the
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: TCH New York City Marathon. TCS New York City Marathon,
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: excuse me. And... He is going to talk about preparations.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's awesome.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: Thanks a lot, Natalie.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 9: Well, we'll talk tomorrow about more marathon stuff.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: Of course. Up next, the two superstars. We're at it again.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: Barack Obama and Donald Trump. But first, it's News at 8.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. One little joke about a cheesecake factory.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: And wow, that is an avalanche of reaction. Not only
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: from the president. The president obviously reacted to it. We
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: played that for you yesterday, but Scott Besson went to
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: a Cheesecake Factory and talked about how wonderful it is,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: as if President Obama... Obama was putting down cheesecake factories.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: And then he had to come out and say, no,
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: I go there all the time. I love cheesecake factories.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: But then he was up speaking last night, and he
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: brought it up again. I will tell you this for
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: somebody that says that Donald Trump is obsessed with the
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: cheesecake factories and won't stop talking about it after he
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: brought it up first. He talked about it last night.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about Barack Obama for a few minutes, like
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: five minutes out of his speech.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 25: I accused this administration based on the facts that they
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 25: were engaging in unprecedented levels of corruption.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 22: They didn't say anything about that. The president wasn't even
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 22: mad about the.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 25: Saddam Hussein comparison.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 22: That part didn't bother him. But he was very upset
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 22: about the Cheesecake Factory comments.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: He took great umbrage. That went on and on and on.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: He said, I didn't understand the work of the artisans
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: in the White House.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 25: And they mobilized, this was, I mean, it's all crazy,
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 25: but this was the really crazy part. They mobilized a
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 25: whole of government response to that joke.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: Not to inflation, but to that joke. Now, I will
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: say this about what Obama was doing last night. He
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: talked about, and he was ripping, and he was good.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: He's always good on the stump. But he was ripping
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: the Obama administration for talking about the Cheesecake Factory and
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: the joke so much. He talked about it ad nauseum.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: He must have talked about it way more than the
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: Trump administration talked about it. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: And, again, it shows you why they are the superstars
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: of their party. They can command attention. They entertain. The
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: audience is wrapped. Obama never talks as long as Trump.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: You know, he's about half as long as Trump. But
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: they are the best orators. They are the best deliverers.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: And you know they are like two scorpions in a
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: brandy glass. If Trump says something, Obama will respond, and likewise.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: And they've taken it to the campaign. But the first
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: part of their commentary, was really what Ossoff has been saying.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: So he wasn't there for John Ossoff, who's running against Collins.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: Collins is having a tough time, the Republican challenger. But
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: Ossoff is banging away saying corruption in the White House,
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: corruption with the Trump, the Trump family. We'll see if
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: that becomes the number one issue. It probably isn't. But
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: I know why Barack Obama was in Georgia. He didn't
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: need to be in Georgia. Ossoff is well ahead. So
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: if you're going to use your superstar, you put a
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: in these states where it's neck and neck for the Senate.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 10: Nope.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: It actually had to do with the governor's race. Remember,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: there was Stacey Abrams. Remember how Stacey Abrams lost, again,
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: a very close election for governor, but would not, would
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: not exceed, would not say, no, no, no, I lost, remember?
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: And she delayed, delayed, delayed, delayed. She was the darling
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: of the Democratic Party. Stacey Abrams was going to become
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: the first African-American governor female.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: In the United States, but she failed.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: So the one who won this time unexpectedly in a
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: very heated Democratic primary was the former mayor of Atlanta,
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: Keisha Lance Bottoms. Now, she was there during George Floyd,
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: the lockdown and pandemic. She did a horrible job. In fact,
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: the big anger against her, including from Democrats, you left.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: You left office. You ran one term. You said, I've
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: had it. You were crying at the podium. You know,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: one thing.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: In politics, it's like, remember Tom Hanks said in the movie,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: there's no crying in baseball, you know, to that movie
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: that was starring the female softball players. You don't cry
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: in politics. So she had almost like a breakdown. She
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: left politics. She came back. So he's trying to buff
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: up her campaign against a really good candidate for governor
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: who's a Republican. He's a billionaire. Really good story. Self-made
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: has had some problems along the way. But actually, if
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: they had reversed, let's say Collins had run for governor
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: and this guy who is Rick Jackson had run for Senate,
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: it would have been a much closer race for the U.S.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 15: Senate.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: But right now.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: There's a very good chance Rick Jackson, the Republican, becomes
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: the governor while John Ossoff, the Democrat, gets reelected to
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: the Senate, which is typically what happens for some strange
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: reason in Georgia. They'll elect senators from one party. And
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: then the governor always is from the other party because
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: it's really a purple state now.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: That's what I was just about to say. Much to
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: the chagrin of the Republican Party, Georgia now is probably
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: officially a purple state, although it's reddish purple. I mean,
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: most of the people that win there are still Republicans,
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: but they just lost two Senate seats to the Democrats.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: That was because of awful candidates. Herschel Walker was running
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: and Herschel Walker just kept stepping into it every single
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: time he opened his mouth.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: I got to tell you, Larry, not only was he
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: a flawed candidate, all the problems he had with his
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: domestic relationships, but at the very end of the campaign,
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: and remember, it was against him, and I call him Warlock.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: Remember the reverend from Atlanta? Warnock. Right, but I call
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: him Warlock. He tells his story. You know what I
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: was doing last night?
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: And he had big audiences because Herschel, you know, with
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: football is God in Georgia and in northern Florida.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: I watch horror movies.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: And then he went on to describe the horror movie
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: for like 38 minutes. That was a really good story
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: about the horror movie. But now you know why he's
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: the ambassador to the Bahamas. Yeah, we don't hear a
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: lot about it.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: He's just enjoying the Bahamas. Listen, that is not really
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: a purple state. You know what I mean? It is
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: going back and forth recently, but If you get outside
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: of Atlanta, and this is the story in a lot
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: of the states that are purple or turning purple, much
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: like Georgia is. We'll see what happens in future elections,
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: but certainly in the last few elections, it looks like
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: it's turning purple. The registration is still Republican, and almost
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: all of the Democrats are in Atlanta. But that's state
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: after state after state. It seems to be that the
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: urban areas are always Democrat, but when you get out
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: to the rural areas, they're Republican. I mean, I could
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: reel off seven states where that is the case. New
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: York State, I mean, if it wasn't for New York City,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: it's probably leaning Republican.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: It's a red state, if not for New York City
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: and also for Erie County, Buffalo. It is a red state.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: You just look at the voting tallies. But the interesting
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: thing is when I was running for mayor, I would
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: do these national interviews and I would I would say
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: to the people south of the Mason-Dixon line, you want
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: me to win because you want me to keep all
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: the New Yorkers here from flooding down to where you
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: are because you are proud red states.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: But with all these New Yorkers fleeing. You're going to
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: turn purple.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: That's some of the arguments about what's happening in Texas,
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: what's happening in Tennessee, what's happening in Georgia, what's happening
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: in South Carolina. So many New Yorkers, people from Jersey,
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: people from Connecticut, people from parts of Pennsylvania are flooding
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: down there. And many of them are lifelong Democrats and
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: they vote Democrat till the day they die because they say,
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: I don't want to offend mommy and daddy who are
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: in heaven because they were Democrats. They said only vote
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: Democrats and I'm going to vote Democrat, even though my
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: neighbors here always seem to be voting Republican.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I heard from a lot of Democrats saying, look
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen in Florida. Look at Florida. Florida
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: is turning purple. Florida is going to be blue because
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: of so many people that went down there. It looks
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: like in the end, the Republicans are going to sweep
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: the board and they keep adding more poll numbers to it.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: I think there was a discontent early on, but then
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: people come home to roost. And I think that's going
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: to be happening in a lot of these states. States
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: that looked like they may be going Democrat, people just
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: come back to where they'll start to go, well, maybe not.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: I don't like this guy. They like the idea of
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: sending a message to the Republican Party. And I'm talking
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: about Republicans. They like the idea of saying, I'm not
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: happy with what's going on right now. And then they
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: learn more about the Democratic candidate. And then they finally,
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: when they get to the voting booth, go, you know what?
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: I may not like what's going on right now, but
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: it's better than the other guy. And I think you
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: see that happening in Michigan right now. I think you
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: see that happening in Maine. They're going to hope that
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: it happens in Texas. We're going to see in that one,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: but certainly in Alaska, too. So that's why I think
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: the Republicans are going to end up winning the Senate.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: Well, today is showdown in South Carolina. The president's candidate,
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: Darlene Graham, not doing that well. It's neck and neck
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: in the polls there. He never expected that. So we'll
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: be able to play back for all of you tomorrow
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: exactly what President Donald J. Trump had to say in
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: reference to Darlene. Because that is a race where you
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: have some disgruntled Republicans. And again, the good thing about
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: all this, all the close races, regardless of who you
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: support and what the policy is. say, is that it's
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: bringing people out to vote in unprecedented numbers. Because if
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: they're watching locally, regionally, in many instances, nationally, they see
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: that the whole country is energized. And that's good for democracy.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: I don't hear a lot of people saying, I'm not
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: going to vote. My vote's not going to make a difference.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: When you see all these polls neck and neck, you
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: start to say, well, maybe that old fashioned idea that
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: my vote ain't going to make a difference might actually
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: make a difference.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: It's really fascinating the fact that there is an increase
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: in midterm voting, at least so far. You know, that
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: may not play out. It may be that a lot
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: more people are just voting early and it might be, again,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: 50 percent or below 50 percent. But if it goes
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: up to 60% or if it goes up, and my God,
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: if it went up higher than 60% in the midterm,
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: it would set a record. If it goes up to
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: like 60%, you have to wonder who was energized the most.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: You have to wonder if it's the MAGA crowd getting
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: out there or you have to wonder if it's Democrats
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: that are so upset. and are being told if you're
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: that upset, you got to get to the polls and
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: show it. We're going to see, we will see on
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: election night. Um, but man, this is one, forget Republican
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: and Democrat for a second. This is a fascinating election.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: Well, I tell you this much, uh, another series of
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: close elections in Wisconsin and every one of those candidates
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: is wearing a Milwaukee Brewer throwback Jersey today as they
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: won the world series. We'll break that down for you
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: up next as, uh, It's their first World Series. This
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: doesn't include the old Milwaukee Braves or the National League.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are hearing for the
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: first time there was a World Series. It got so
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: bad ratings and so few people because it was small
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: market teams, and that's a shame. Plus, you got a
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: chance to see comedian John Mulaney coming up next. Well,
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball went out with a whimper with two
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: small market teams playing, low ratings. And two teams that
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: most of the games weren't in contention, so they weren't
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: even exciting games. And it ended just as dull as
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: the series was. Swing and a ground ball. This ought
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: to do it. Right side.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 23: Terang to Bowers.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: And for the first time ever.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 23: Milwaukee fans can say it. The Brewers are World Series
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 23: champions as they celebrate to the right of the pitcher's mound,
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 23: jumping up and down in a pile.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: The Brewers have won it all. That's great for the
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee Brewers, but I will tell you that this, that
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: may be the last game in a long time. And
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: for that to be the exclamation point, maybe a comma,
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: on the end of the season, when they're probably going
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: to have a lockout starting December 1st, and there may
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: not be a season at all next year because of
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: labor negotiations, it's a shame for Major League Baseball. Although
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: it really does hurt the owner's argument that the salary
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: cap makes it so there's more competition among all the teams.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: Because you had two teams in the World Series with
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: one of the lowest salaries in Major League Baseball. Both
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: of them were near the bottom of the list. So
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: when you hold up the Los Angeles Dodgers and the
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: amount of money they spend and say, look, we can't
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: have that, well, they didn't get to the World Series.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: So it's going to be fascinating, but what's going to
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: happen is there may not be a season next year.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: Well, if you just observe the way Milwaukee plays the game,
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: they execute it on all the fundamentals. Unfortunately, Tampa Bay,
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: which had during the season, just fell apart. But one thing,
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: there are a thousand bars in Milwaukee, more per capita
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: than anywhere in the world.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: And they were.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: Hoisting their old Milwaukee's and their Miller Lights and their
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: PBRs till the break of dawn. But, you know, when
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: they say it's the first 56 years in the brewing,
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: that's the American League. See, the National League, they used
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: to have the Atlanta, excuse me, the Milwaukee Braves, which
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: went on to become the Atlanta Braves. Take on the
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: New York Yankees in the 50s. Those were great World Series.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: Warren Spahn, Whitey Ford, Mickey Mantle, Eddie Matthews, Hank Aaron.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: Those were really great World Series.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: So part of that is true, but they've experienced World
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: Series before.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there have been some bad World Series, but the
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: fact that they're going to be going into some contract
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: negotiations that may end the season, you wanted something more
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: exciting at the end. They went out with a whimper.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: But, you know, they were all ripoffs, the owners and
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: the players. It's all about them, not about the fans.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: Not about the fans at all. Well, I will tell
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: you this. I think the NFL does it really well.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: They should do what the NFL does. You know, this
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 2: is the salary cap.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: That's it. You got to make it. If you can't,
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: you got to trade some players. Let's get some talkbacks.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: We've been talking about hot dogs all morning.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 26: Speaking of hot dogs, the best hot dogs today, and
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 26: they've been around a long time, Jimmy Buffs and West Orange.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 26: Italian hot dog, the pizza bread with onions and peppers
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 26: and potatoes.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: Nothing could beat it. Have a great day, guys. I
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: love that people have their own favorite hot dog place.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: Who would have known?
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: And this brought out the quiet storm, Chris. He is
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: a hot dog aficionado. Our news gal, a hot dog aficionado.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: You thought I was the hot dog aficionado here because
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: I've competed in dirty water hot dog eating contests.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: Not at all. I couldn't touch this stuff today.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 6: I love that the founder of the marathon, the way
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 6: he was talking about it. I've run a bunch of marathons.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 6: I've run New York City four times. At first, it
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 6: was all about time and have to get through it.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 5: But then I started realizing I wasn't appreciating the marathon.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: And when I.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: Slowed down just to Take it all in.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 6: It's an incredible experience. Every borough is different.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: The people enjoy it.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 23: You're not breaking any records.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: So enjoy them. Oh, that's wonderful. I hope to see
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: you at the finish line, although it sounds like I
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: might be gone from the finish line long before you
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: get there because we stick around. We're there all morning
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: for some of the pro races and the wheelchair races.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 10: Regarding the story of the New York Times about the
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 10: candidate names in Alaska. I'd like to congratulate the New
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 10: York Times for committing a random act of journalism.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: A random act.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: You see, you can't even give full credit where credit
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: is due.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: Well, they have They've had a bad record when it
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: comes to Donald Trump and Republicans recently with the Hunter
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: Biden laptop.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: But this article could save the Senate for the Republicans.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 2: So everybody says, oh, they lean Democrat. If that were
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: the case, why would they publish this story?
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you understand. I mean, they were awful with Russiagate.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: They should be giving back their Pulitzer. Now let's get
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: to Daria Albinger with the 830. Hard to make you wait. Now,

• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, great. That's where he started.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 4: There you go. Sunny and warmer today with a high
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 4: of 68 degrees. A Brooklyn woman is due in court
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 4: today where she's expected to face upgraded federal hate crime
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 4: charges connected to syringe attacks on Jewish men in Manhattan.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 27: Authorities allege Anna Makalova stabbed two men wearing Jewish attire
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 27: with a syringe needle and then asked a third man
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 27: if he was Jewish. When he responded he was Muslim,
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 27: she walked away. The stabbings allegedly happened last Wednesday in
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 27: the Diamond District. Makalova was previously hit with local assault
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 27: and other charges, but now faces two federal counts of
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 27: committing hate crimes. Each carry up to 10 years in prison.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 27: I'm Scott Pringle, WDOR News.

  Speaker 4: Five days to the midterms. President Trump will campaign today
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 4: in South Carolina, while former President Obama will be in
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 4: Georgia drumming up support for Democrats. Netflix wants to film
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 4: a show on the Jersey Shore, but it could affect
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 4: how late one town can decorate for the holidays.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 20: Netflix is hoping to shoot some scenes in Lavalette for
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 20: an upcoming series called Trigger Point. Filming would happen along
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 20: Route 35 on December 7th and 8th, but production has
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 20: one caveat.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 9: It doesn't want any holiday lights anymore. Hanging over roadways
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 9: or on the film route.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 20: That would mean decorations won't be up in some parts
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 20: of town in time for the Christmas tree lighting on
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 20: December 5th. Officials still have to vote, but they're reassuring
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 20: the community there would be no decoration restrictions for businesses
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 20: or residences.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 9: Natalie Migliore, WOR News.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 4: And a new study confirms what we firstborns have known
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 4: all along. Mom and dad like the baby best. Researchers
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 4: at Brigham and Young University found youngest siblings get preferential treatment, yeah, really,
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 4: while older siblings get more autonomy and face stricter standards.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: Again, duh.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 4: And if you're a youngest daughter, you hit the birth
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 4: order jackpot. The study finds parents show a slight favorability
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 4: for girls over boys. It's published in the American Psychological
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 4: Association's Psychological Bulletin. Knicks win, Devils lose, and Milwaukee wins
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 4: the World Series. Next news, 9 o'clock, bulletins at once.
• 1:28:02

• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: Congratulations to Dave Rose in Mahwah, New Jersey, who just
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 2: won a pair of tickets to see comedian John Mulaney's
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 2: final stop on his nine-night, nine-venue Mulaney Takes Manhattan Tour.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: That's January 15th at Madison Square Garden. Another chance to
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: win tomorrow at 825. And up next, oh yeah, it's
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: more of the marathon news. And you're going to be
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: discussing Larry and I with the guy who organizes it all.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: So Curtis, as you know, it's a big year for
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: the TCS New York City. Marathon as we celebrate the
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: 50th anniversary of the first Five Barrow Marathon. So joining
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: us now is Rob Similcare. He is the CEO of
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: the New York City Roadrunners. He's been working around the clock.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: That's the organization, by the way, the Roadrunners, behind the
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: TCS New York City Marathon. Hey, Rob, thanks for joining us.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: What does this milestone anniversary mean for the race, mean
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: for the city, and everyone who was a part of
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: the incredible history? Thank you.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 28: It's great to be with you again. Thanks for being
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 28: with us. And we wanted to make a really big
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 28: deal of celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Five Borough
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 28: New York City Marathon. And It's been really great. We've
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 28: seen how people have embraced it because the city loves it.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 28: It's the best day of the year in New York City.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 28: The idea of a five borough marathon, it may seem
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 28: obvious now, but back in 1975 and 76, when they
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 28: were kind of cooking this idea up and trying to
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 28: get the city on board with it, it was.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 3: Kind of a crazy idea.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 28: No city, no big city had ever really done anything
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 28: anything like this. Boston had the Boston Marathon for sure,
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 28: but that's a little bit of a different situation. The
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 28: Boston Marathon starts out way out of Boston, outside the
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 28: city in the suburbs, and gradually works its way in.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 28: But there had never been a city the scale of
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 28: New York that did a street marathon like this. The
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 28: marathon used to do loops in Central Park in the
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 28: years before it moved.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: To the five boroughs.
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 28: So we're celebrating the people who had the idea originally,
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 28: Ted Corbett, the original president of New York Roadrunners and
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 28: an Olympic marathoner himself. He was the first to really say,
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 28: what if we made this a five-borough marathon? But others
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 28: thought it was crazy. Then you had Percy Sutton, who
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 28: was the Manhattan Borough President at the time. He heard
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 28: the idea and said, actually, I think we can make
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 28: this happen. And he had the political connections to go
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 28: to the mayor and a beam at the time to
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 28: pitch this idea and may have been said you know
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 28: what I think we can do this at the time
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 28: Larry that the agreed to do it in 76 he
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 28: was going to be a one-time thing to celebrate the
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 28: bicentennial the United States to this was it even meant
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 28: to be in every year thing but it turned out
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 28: to be so special that they did.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: It again and again and the other you know what we.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 28: Call the trailblazers were George Spitz who kinda had the
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 28: political connections George Hirsch, who's still with us, the only
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 28: one of the pioneers of the trailblazers who's still with us,
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 28: who helped get the publicity and helped raise the money
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 28: for it. And then, of course, Fred LeBeau, who was
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 28: the longtime race director of this as well.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: And everybody knows about the marathon and how important it
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: is to not only the racing community, but to New
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: York City and how it's grown to be the biggest
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: of the marathons, a global event. But what people don't realize,
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: I think, or at least us in the media don't
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: talk about it enough, is how much money you've raised
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: because of your partners. And I understand this is the
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: 20th anniversary of the official charity partner program. So if
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: you can talk about how people can get involved in
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: that and also what it has meant to the marathon. Well,
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: let's start with how much money you've raised. It's amazing.
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: It's become a.
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 28: Huge part of the marathon every single year.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 6: And you're right.
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 28: This is the 20th anniversary of the TCS New York
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 28: City Marathon Charity Program. And we decided one of the
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 28: things we wanted to do to commemorate this anniversary was
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 28: to go really big when it comes to fundraising. And
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 28: so this year, for the first time ever, we set
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 28: a goal of raising $ 100 million for charities in this event.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 28: We've got over 650 nonprofit organizations. a heavy focus on
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 28: New York-based charities, especially this year. And we're thrilled to
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 28: be able to report that we're hitting that goal. We
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 28: just got a report the other day, and we are
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 28: going to be able to hit that goal. We've actually
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 28: already crossed that threshold of $ 100 million raised for charities
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 28: this year.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: So it's an incredible accomplishment.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 28: We've got about 15,000 runners in the race this year
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 28: who are putting meaning to their miles by raising money
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 28: for this multitude of causes. And if you're interested in
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 28: being a part of supporting that, you can either go
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 28: find a runner who you know is running for a
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 28: cause or go to our website at nyr.org. You'll see
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 28: all the different charities. One of those charities is Team
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 28: for Kids, which is our very own charity at New
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 28: York Roadrunners that helps us put on all the free
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 28: youth events and all the programs we have for kids
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 28: and adults, including this past weekend, the weekend before the marathon,
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 28: when we had almost 5,000 kids in all five boroughs
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 28: running in the TCS New York City Marathon Kids Kickoff,
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 28: a totally free running event for all these kids and
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 28: families that was really helping us create that next generation
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 28: of marathon runners.
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you talked about the $ 100 million for
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: this year, but you've been doing this for a while
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: and it's grown every single year. The number, the amount
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: of money you've raised since this started is astronomical. And
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: my understanding is it's $ 700 million. Is that right?
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 28: Yeah, I think that's right. And it's grown every year.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 28: It's just a huge part of what has... I say
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 28: this marathon has changed the world. It really has changed
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 28: the world. It has changed countless lives. We've had over
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 28: a million people finish this race over the years since
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 28: it started.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: Those lives were changed.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 28: And think of the lives that were changed by all
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 28: that fundraising as well. The nonprofits that were able to
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 28: take that money and turn it into helping people in
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 28: a myriad of different ways. There are organizations that are
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 28: fighting disease. There are organizations that are helping people get educated,
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 28: that are helping with homelessness and other social issues. Everything
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 28: you can think of is represented within that group of
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 28: 650 nonprofits we've got in the program this year.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, one of the.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: Reasons the marathon is so special to New York, and
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize this, and thank you so much for
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: allowing 710WOR and myself and everybody here to be a
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: part of the marathon, the small part of the marathon.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: It's when I'm in a hotel staying overnight for the
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: next morning and I get to meet all the people
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: around the world that have saved all year for this moment.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: This is a pinnacle for them. So you have made
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: dreams come true for tens of thousands of people and
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: it's still growing how many people are running this year.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 28: We expect larry about 60 000 finishers this year we're
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 28: always waiting to see how things play out with who
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 28: cancels you know people are canceling right up to the
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 28: last day before the marathon so we track that number
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 28: but right now we're expecting over 60 000 that'll be
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 28: the first time in the history of the event.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: Rob Similcare, New York Roadrunners Chief Executive Officer, the organization
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: that puts on the TCS New York City Marathon. Thank
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: you so much for your time. Thank you so much.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 2: Up next, another lithium ion battery fire caused because bicycles
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: are stored in apartments.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: This one in NYCHA.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: Wait till you hear what the mayor and the attorney
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 2: general of the state of New York had to say
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 2: about it as they gave us a word salad.
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: Up next. Now, let me tell you about life back.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I was just looking at a story, another
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: story about life back and officers this time in Kentucky
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: saving a three month old child. Can you imagine the
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: mother's panic calling 911 and they got there just in time?
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: And luckily they had a life back in their patrol car.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 1: That's why every patrol car across the country in New
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: York City and New Jersey, they should have a life vac.
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: It should be in every school cafeteria. It should be
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: in every restaurant. This product saves lives. It is the
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: first and only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device to be used
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: for second-line treatment when recommended choking protocols have been followed
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: without success. And here is what's so remarkable. LifeVac has
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: now saved over 7,000 lives worldwide. Just a little while
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: ago when I was talking about this, two months ago,
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: it was 6,000. That's 1,000 more lives saved. And those
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: aren't just numbers. That's what's important to remember. Those are
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: real people, real families, real second chances. Preparedness matters. Having
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: the right tool nearby can make all the difference in
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: the world. So learn more about LifeVac today at LifeVac.net.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: That's lifevac.net. Visit lifevac.net and see how you can be
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: ready the next time it counts. Here we go.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 2: A 10-year-old boy in the Bronx.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: Public housing projects. The Patterson houses on the 11th floor. Killed.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 2: Four other family members critically injured. And once again... An
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 2: e-bike charging up its lithium-ion battery has caused a devastating fire.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: This goes on and on and on. 400 fires alone
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 2: in the city this year, 74 injuries, six deaths. Apparently,
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 2: the man of the house used his lithium-ion battery e-bike
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 2: to get back and forth to his job, which was
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 2: a car wash. I'll bet you he was an illegal alien.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 2: And so, naturally, all the politicians show up. There's a gaggle,
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 2: the proverbial condolences.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: You had Zoran Mandami, the fire commissioner, and, oh, Tish
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: James running for re-election.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 2: And, you know, they're sad, they're unhappy at this happening,
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 2: but they do nothing to stop it, Larry, nothing. And
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 2: then Tish James says, and by the way, you know,
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 2: these people have to earn money.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: So let me get this straight.
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 2: In this case, as in previous cases, they left an
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 2: e-bike in the kitchen charging up the dangerous lithium ion battery,
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 2: which when it goes on fire, Larry, it takes the
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 2: firefighters like two hours to put it out. That's just
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 2: a small one for the bike. You know, like you've
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 2: seen with the Tesla car, it could take hours. And
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: yet they continue to do this over and over, jeopardizing
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 2: not only their own families, but.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: There are other people living in that building.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 2: I don't hear anybody chastising these folks who know the
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 2: danger of the batteries, but do nothing to keep their
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 2: families and other people out of harm's way.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: Now, as you know, Zoran Mamdani and Letitia James had
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: a news conference yesterday, and this came up. And both
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: of them, when they responded... didn't come up with any solutions.
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: They suggested that people not put the lithium-powered e-bikes up
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: into their apartments. They suggested that. And Letitia James was
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 1: pushed and said, well, can't we do something? Can't we
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: prevent this from happening? Can't there be a law? She
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: said a lot of people need these bikes for their livelihood. So...
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: Does that mean they have to bring them into their
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: apartments and lean them against the front door? I don't understand.
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: And both of them, both of them were reluctant to
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: say that government can do anything or there can be
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: any laws.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 2: And this is public housing. So the government definitely could
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 2: have done something. Imagine 400 fires, this city alone, 74 injured,
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 2: six deaths.
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: And this will continue. Because most of the people that
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: are using these bikes, or many of the people that
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: are using these bikes for deliveries, are not here legally.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: And they are the protected class in this city.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 2: And delivering your Grubhub, they got to have their bikes.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: And the Talkback of the Morning and winner of the
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: Curtis Sliwa and Larry Mendte in the morning t-shirt and
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: now in the running for Talkback of the Week, who
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: will win a C-Crane radio, wanted to offer some rare
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: praise to the New York Times.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 10: Regarding the story of the New York Times about the
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 10: candidate names in Alaska, I'd like to congratulate the New
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 10: York Times for committing a random act of journalism.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: That is great. Still doesn't make up for Russiagate or
• 1:41:26
