  Speaker 1: Larry, Natalie, and our audience, just a quick update.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: If you happen to take the A, B, C, or
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: D lines for work, don't even bother today. They've had
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: a cracked track. And this is extraordinarily serious. I can
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: only tell you because I've seen work crews before. These
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: are the guys, you know, they go down into the tracks.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: It's like they're lifting the tracks up and you really
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: got to be strong. Well, some of these tracks have cracked.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: And this is what's going to happen over time if
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: they're not replaced. So guess what? There's no A service,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: no B service, no C service, no D service.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Just take the numbered lines. Where's all that congestion pricing
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: money going? Good question. I thought that was supposed to
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: fix it. It was all for infrastructure, wasn't it?
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: No, but it's... I've seen that when they replace a track,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: you know, and you can see it's cracked because, boy,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: you know, if it isn't detected and removed, a whole
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: train could go off the track.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: And, oh, my God, the potential problems from that. So, hey.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Just a heads up, because when I was coming in today,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I was on the number one train, and I already
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: saw the MTA money-taking agency agents telling people avoid taking
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the A, B, C, or D, because the.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Tracks have cracked. I've never heard that before. No, but
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: it makes you think. Immediately, I'm like, we need a
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: major audit of MTA. We need to know where all
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: this money is going to, because it obviously is not
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: going to fix the tracks.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is a crack in the wall of
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Governor Hochul, because remember, she's in charge of the MTA.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: It's a state agency. especially when it comes to repair
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: and maintenance. This is a good opportunity for Bruce Blakeman
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: to move in on her on this and say, how
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: could all these tracks be cracking? Where's the normal maintenance?
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Where's the normal replacement of the track?
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's her problem, and it's Kathy's congestion pricing, too.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: This is her tax on all of us.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Now, let me ask you a situation that may be
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: a problem for everybody in New Jersey, because luckily I
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: have three boys. And I guess the old tradition still
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: survives with some families that when there is a marriage,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: the father, the mother of the bride dies. pays most
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: of the expenses. Is that still the tradition? And the
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: father of the son chips in. They usually come forward
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: and they say, hey, we can play for the limos,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: we can pay for the flowers, you know, the cheap stuff.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: The cheap stuff, exactly.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: And Natalie, do you find that to be true that
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: the bulk of the expense is borne by the family
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: of the bride?
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you'd think we'd gotten past that by now, but no.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: It still seems that the bride's family does take a big,
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: big part of the responsibility of the payment of a
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: very expensive wedding.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: So they just did a survey. I couldn't believe this
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: when I read it. I read it like four times
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: that the most expensive state to get married in is
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: your state of New Jersey. And how much does it cost?
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: Average.
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: $ 57, 000.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Average. Oh, I'm. I would love to have only paid $ 57, 000.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: That seems like.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: On the low side from some of the weddings I've
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: been hearing. We're going to have to talk to Natalie
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Migliore about that, who's the one going through.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: And actually, I.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Think her venue, I'm not sure what state it is.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: It could be in New Jersey.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: But that's still ridiculous, by the way.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: The national average is $ 30, 000 to $ 36, 000.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, where could we go?
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: And this is quantified on the fact that you have
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: about 125 to 150 guests. They factor in the per-person catering.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: By the way, is it an open bar most times?
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Yes. It is. Okay. Oh, my gosh. Arkansas, $ 11, 000 for
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: a wedding.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're telling you to bring your own.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Well, it's because it's in family. That's probably why in Arkansas. Okay. Utah, 17,000. Oh,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: my God. We can lie everybody there.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: There are a lot of marriages in Utah because Mormons.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: There's none of this, oh, you can live together outside
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: of marriage.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: No, you're getting married. You know what, college? This is
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: really an interesting stat. Has the most marriages, like people married?
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Brigham Young University. Brigham Young University, BYU. I'm telling you,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I was there at the football field.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: For a Sean Hannity concert, you know, Great American concert.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I could not get any caffeine. I could not get
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Coca-Cola at that time I was addicted. They don't serve caffeine.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: You can't smoke cigarettes. They are strict in that Mormon state.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, I know. Imagine no caffeine. You know about the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: magic underwear, right? Oh, yeah. Excuse me?
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: What?
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Mitt Romney had to spend time on the campaign
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: trail when he lost to Barack Obama explaining how much
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: time it takes for him to put on the magic
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: underwear each day.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Because when you are tempted to have sex, they want
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: your underwear very difficult to get off so you can
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: think about what you're doing, what you're about to do,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the sin you're about to commit.
• 5:30
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: No way.
• 5:33
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: How did I miss that?
• 5:35
  Speaker 10: Natalie.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Well, thank God you missed that. It is extensive.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Apparently, it's like being bound up with swaddling cloths and
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: appendages and all kinds of ace bandages.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: So what you're saying about like two minutes later, you're like, oh,
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: forget it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 11: Yeah, no.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: It's not worth it. It's about 20 minutes to put on.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: 20 minutes. 20 minutes to a half hour to put
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: on your underwear. Like 60% of the BYU football team
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: is married. They all run up to Vegas.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: I just saw a TikTok recently of two girls who
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: were going there. It was week two. They hold up
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: their hand with no ring with a sad face. Because
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: that was their only point of going there is to
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: find a husband.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: But let me bring you back to New Jersey here
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: because the last time we had an... a discussion about
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: going to weddings, the catering hall after the actual event.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Larry was a bit in the blind about the traditional
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: booster bag. The booster bag helps offset the costs of
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: the wedding by the donations that are being made by,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: let's say, the guests here, 125 to 150.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Not in my family. There's no booster bag. No booster bag.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but people are giving cash.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: They sit there and try to figure out how much
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: it all costs. That's what they're doing. Larry, Larry.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: You're not coming with a blender, are you?
• 7:01
  Speaker 12: I mean, you're giving.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Cash at a wedding, right?
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about?
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: When you go to a wedding as a guest, you
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: don't bring, like, a physical gift.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Do you? Yeah, but you give the money to the
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: bride and groom. Yeah, well, that's it. But that's not
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the booster bag. Well, the booster bag is the bride
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: and groom.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, the booster bag is just a.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: an outlet to I guess what I'm saying is what
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: about me what about the guy that paid for it
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: maybe the booster bag should be for me.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Yours Larry this is how it's done right you're right the.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Wife the new wife does not hold the booster bag
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: neither does the groom because they're enjoying themselves they're drinking
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: they may forget where the booster bag it's usually the
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: most curmudgeon woman from that family could be an aunt
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: It could be the mother-in-law. But, man, they're guarding that.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: They're guarding every envelope that goes into that booster bag.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: So you're a guarantee. And I think the rule of
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: thumb is, Natalie, and correct me if I'm wrong, is
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: that you have to at least match how much it
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: costs for the dinner.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: So if the dinner was like $ 175 up to $ 350,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: you got to at least cover the cost of that.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: That's what they say around here that you should attempt
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: to do if you can. But first off, you have
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: no idea what the cost is. I mean, nobody really
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: knows it. And if I had to cover the cost
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: for the weddings I was going to, I wouldn't be
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: going to any of them because I wouldn't be able
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: to afford it. So, yeah, you know, you can't be
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: cheap these days. You're not coming with $ 100.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, you can be cheap these days. You have to
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: meet my family. Man, I can't believe we started the show.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I'm already ticked off. uh they're this bogus booster bag
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: that you're talking about where i pay for everything and
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: then the money is given to the bride and groom
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: no no not the bride and usually uh the one
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: of the elder woman no i get that but what
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: does the money end.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Up oh no it goes to cover the expense of
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: uh the wedding and then also a little bit of
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: a cushion for the brand new uh husband and bride
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: maybe to put a down payment on uh a divorce attorney,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: because so many of these unfortunately end up going their
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: separate ways within a year more. You know, Jacoby and Myers,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: one hires Jacoby, the other hires Myers.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, you know, I would love to know if anybody
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: out there ever went to a wedding that, you know,
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: ended quickly, divorce, I mean, ended quickly, and never got
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: money back.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I'd love to know that.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: I've been to bridal showers where the wedding never happened,
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: and I got the gift back.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I just looked up booster bag and it says nothing
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: about weddings. You know what it says?
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Larry, it's a booster bag. It's not a booster bag.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: In organized crime, there's a booster bag. Yeah, there is.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: And they handle it like it's payments to organized crime. Oh,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: so that's what it is. This is an organized crime
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: wedding you're talking about. No, they run it that way.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: That means you have... to pay a vig. You have
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to pay for this wedding. And that's why it's important.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: You have your name on the envelope and the family
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: will write it into the ledger. And then you could
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: be shamed if you don't even cover the cost of
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: your meal. You don't have any daughters, right?
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Thank God I don't. And so far, nobody of marrying age.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Anthony's my oldest. I have three sons. It's Carter and Hunter.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: They are not of marrying age. Normally, people don't get
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: married now until their 30s.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: You know, like Chris here, he's Gen Z.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: On loan for us from the Mark Simone show, because
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Natalie is still recovering at home from her knee surgery. Chris,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: your age group, generally, if they get married, it's in
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: their 30s, right?
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I only have one. I have two friends that
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: have been married so far, and I'm 28. I'll be 29. Now,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: is your girlfriend hinting about weddings?
• 10:51
  Speaker 13: No.
• 10:51
  Speaker 14: Marriage?
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: No. We've only been together for like six months. That's enough.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: That's a lifetime. Neither of us are in a position
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: financially to get married. Well, you can get the booster bag.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Nobody ever is. No. The booster bag.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: We need Natalie McLeory in this conversation.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: She would have a better idea. I'm telling you. Oh,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: that's a good idea. Does she get a booster bag?
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Whatever you call it.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Probably. You think so? Yes.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: There is no doubt about it.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: If I was with a woman for six months and
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: you always have to take her to visit your mom,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: my mother Francesca, no longer with us, would look at
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: me and say, Curtis, do you love this woman?
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I'd say, yes, mom. Then you must marry her. You
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: must honor her.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Because if you don't marry her after six months of
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: being together.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Of dating.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: then you are bringing, you are disparaging the name Sliwa.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: I felt guilty. Wow.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's why I got married so many times. I
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: became a serial married. How could you say no to
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: your mother?
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: She's a saint. Hey, let's talk about weddings and the
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: cost of weddings and who pays. And if you've ever had,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: what do you say again? A booster, booster bag, go
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: to the iHeartRadio app and leave us a talk back.

• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the air in New York. One of the most loved
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: news anchors finally has hung it up. Heidi Tong said
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: goodbye last night. It was her last newscast on WPIX.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: But it's time to move on.
• 13:38
  Speaker 15: You know, I'm 80 years old now.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Nearly. As you know, Shirley. 80 years young. I'm feeling it.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I'm tired. And it's time to make room for the
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: young bloods, right? Yeah, she was born in China. 80
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: years old.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: If you had put a gun to my head and said,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: tell me how old Heidi Tong is, no way I
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: would have guessed 80 years old.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: She does not look 80. Yeah, science is wonderful.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Now, you had an experience with her, right, when you
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: were at Eyewitness News Channel 7?
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, sure. She had just started, I guess, a couple
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: of years before I got there. I got there in
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the mid-' 80s. She got there in the early-' 80s. And she
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: was really nice. She was really kind to me. And
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, she was the first one
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: to say, do you want to go out to dinner?
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: And I said, sure. And I went out to dinner
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: with her. And it was pretty funny because someone came
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: up to her when I was sitting there and said,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I love you on the air. And she went, oh,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: thank you so much. And she said, and I love
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: your husband. How is Maury doing? And she looked at
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: him without missing a beat and said, he beats me.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: So the woman mixed her up with Connie Chung. And
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: so the fact that she had that line ready to
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: go means she was getting that all the time. All
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the time.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Because remember at that time, Chung, the wife of Maury Povich,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: was a CBS anchor. The anchor on the national news.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: You know, she did news very similar to Kitey Tong,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: although Kitey Tong had just a great personality. But I
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: can imagine how many times that must have happened to her,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: you know, especially Maury Povich.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Who's the daddy? Remember eventually? Who's the daddy? He ended
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: up running a production company and was extremely successful at that.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: By the way, last night, a lot of the people
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: that worked during the week came in to be with
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: her and she was surrounded by people on the set.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: They gave her flowers and Mr. G spoke to her.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I always loved her. And ever since I saw her,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: I thought she was, she just captured me. But then
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I realized she captured everybody. Oh, gosh, more, more. Who's next?
• 16:00
  Speaker 16: Oh, I love you all back.
• 16:02
  Speaker 14: Thank you so much.
• 16:04
  Speaker 16: This has been amazing.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I'm overwhelmed. I'm trying not to cry. It was nice.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: By the way, Mr. G, he must be about 90. Yeah, Mr.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: G's never going to stop working. He's going to die
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: on the set. He was a teacher. Was he really?
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was like a science teacher. He's the most
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: talkative there. When you go up to WPIX Channel 11, Mr.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: G will find you and regale you in stories of
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: what it was like when he was growing up. I
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: think he grew up in the Bronx.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: He's big with the New York City Marathon. I found
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: that out the hard way because I had to anchor
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: the coverage for Superstorm Sandy. I had to. It was
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: an honor to. And we were on for hours and
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: hours and hours. And they were talking about if you
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: remember whether they were going to run the marathon at
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: all because it happened. The marathon was right after Superstorm Sandy.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: And I was saying on the air, yeah, they have to.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: They have to cancel it. Man, did that set him off. Whoa,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: was he upset at me on that? We ended up
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: having like a mini argument like we have. Oh, remember Bloomberg.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: On the set.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Same thing.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Bloomberg said, oh, we got to cancel. And everybody, what
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: do you mean cancel?
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: No, that was a volatile moment. You are absolutely correct.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: And even though he's the weather guy, Mr. G, he
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: would always jump in and give his opinions like our
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: own Warner Wolf that we'll be talking with in the
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: 7 o'clock hour. These are old timers who are opinionated
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: on a number of subjects.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: You're never going to keep them in a box. Let's
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: get a quick talk back in.
• 17:32
  Speaker 14: Hi, Larry and Curtis. This is Christine from Sound Beach,
• 17:35
  Speaker 14: New York. I have moved from the other station up
• 17:38
  Speaker 14: the dial to you because, not just because, Curtis, you're
• 17:42
  Speaker 14: on the show, but your format is so much better.
• 17:46
  Speaker 14: Combines local and national news. I love it. Keep up
• 17:50
  Speaker 14: the great work.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, thanks. We have time for one real quick one.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: It's only four seconds. It's about Nick Shirley, the independent journalist.
• 17:58
  Speaker 11: Nick Shirley should be doing the auditing on the MTA, Larry.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, great idea. Yep, yep. Remember, that's Kathy Hochul's ballywick.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: It's really incumbent upon Bruce Blakeman to begin the attacks
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: on her, specifically on that. Although I will tell you
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: that what that first caller talked about It's reflected in
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Barrett Media's piece about our show this morning.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: We'll see if we can get it posted.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: It's all about the differences between the kind of show
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: we do, the balance.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: And the lack of balance, really, in the rest should
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: talk radio. Hey, Daria Albinger is getting upset. She's looking
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: at her watch. She throws her hands in the air.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: So let's get to Daria Albinger now with the 630 News.
• 18:44
  Speaker 16: But I'm throwing my hands in the air like I
• 18:46
  Speaker 16: do care. Not like I just don't care, because I
• 18:48
  Speaker 16: do care about you guys and about this show.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Love being here.
• 18:51
  Speaker 16: Mostly cloudy today. It will be on the muggy side.
• 18:54
  Speaker 16: A few showers possible and a high of 79 degrees.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: God is good. God is great.
• 18:59
  Speaker 16: That's what Jesus Acosta said as he was arrested over
• 19:02
  Speaker 16: the weekend in two deadly shootings, one in Brooklyn and
• 19:05
  Speaker 16: one in the Bronx.
• 19:06
  Speaker 12: 31-year-old Jesus Acosta is under arrest. Police say on August
• 19:10
  Speaker 12: 23rd at American Best Wings and Pizza in Brownsville, Brooklyn,
• 19:14
  Speaker 12: Acosta shot and wounded Mohamed Rassel in the leg and
• 19:17
  Speaker 12: then shot Rassel's co-worker, M.D. Youssef, in the head. Youssef died.
• 19:21
  Speaker 12: Two days later, at 149 Grill in the Melrose section
• 19:24
  Speaker 12: of the Bronx, cops say Acosta shot a customer, Tavon Shuler,
• 19:28
  Speaker 12: then stole cash from the register. Shuler died. Police say
• 19:32
  Speaker 12: Acosta has been out on parole since April after serving
• 19:35
  Speaker 12: 10 years in prison for a 2015 Harlem subway shooting.
• 19:39
  Speaker 12: Lisa Salvati, WOR News.
• 19:41
  Speaker 16: Acosta was arraigned yesterday on two counts of murder.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: The U.S.
• 19:44
  Speaker 16: And Iran launched strikes on each other overnight. The Strait
• 19:47
  Speaker 16: of Hormuz continues to be the sticking point in the conflict,
• 19:50
  Speaker 16: which has now been underway for more than six months.
• 19:53
  Speaker 16: A search continues for a hit-and-run driver who killed a
• 19:56
  Speaker 16: nurse in Brooklyn over the weekend. Police say it happened
• 19:58
  Speaker 16: about 7.30 in the morning Saturday in Sunset Park as
• 20:02
  Speaker 16: Jiayi Zheng was going home after her overnight shift at
• 20:05
  Speaker 16: NYU Langone Hospital. She was hit by a black Cadillac,
• 20:09
  Speaker 16: which appears to have been speeding and ran a red light. Well,
• 20:12
  Speaker 16: it may be a changing of the guard in pro
• 20:13
  Speaker 16: tennis right here in New York. Two legends are out
• 20:17
  Speaker 16: in the first round at the Open. Novak Djokovic fell
• 20:19
  Speaker 16: to Argentina's Mariano Navarone. In five sets last night, ESPN
• 20:24
  Speaker 16: got analyst and former pro John McEnroe's take on it.
• 20:26
  Speaker 17: Unfortunately, all great things do eventually come to an end. Yes,
• 20:31
  Speaker 17: here's another cliche. Father time is undefeated, and it did
• 20:34
  Speaker 17: finally catch up. He got sick a couple times. It
• 20:37
  Speaker 17: looked like he may have cramped. The back was bothering him.
• 20:40
  Speaker 17: It all went south in the end.
• 20:42
  Speaker 16: And as we know, tennis players, once the knees go,
• 20:45
  Speaker 16: everything goes.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: And his knees were bugging him, too.
• 20:47
  Speaker 16: Later on, Venus Williams was beaten in straight sets by
• 20:50
  Speaker 16: fellow American and wildcard Sophia Kennan. Yankees beat Boston. Mets
• 20:54
  Speaker 16: lose to Houston. Next news, 7 o'clock bulletins at once.
• 20:57
  Speaker 16: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Well, we see that Greg Abbott, Republican governor of Texas,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: is taking the lead on moratoriums for AI data filing centers.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: And now he's doubled up on it. Moratoriums on flock cameras.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: We'll get into that up next. I want to tell you, though,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: now a story about a nurse on Long Island, age 38.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: She sold an old iPhone of hers on Facebook Marketplace.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Just one listing. That was it.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden, the guy who answered it was
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: a total stranger from New Jersey. Over the next three years,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: he found her phone number. Then he found her parents'
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: home address. Then he showed up.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Threats.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: All kinds of threats, packages, unwanted packages, late-night visits to
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: the house, a complete catastrophe.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: The nurse in her family said, how the hell does
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: he get all of our information?
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: She did everything right, and she still couldn't get him
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: off her front doorstep.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Because he had access to all of her information that
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: data brokers and people's search sites make available to people
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: on a daily basis.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: For pennies to the dollar.
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: It's legal.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: So it's incumbent upon you to put up a firewall.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: The way to do that for yourself and everyone you
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: know and everyone you love.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Is with Incogni. Get a pad and pen. You're going
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: to want to write it down. I-N-C-O-G-N-I.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: It forces data brokers and people search sites to delete
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: your personal information and then just keeps checking on them
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: to make sure that.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: It stays deleted.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Incogni will scrub these sites of your personal information as
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: they have for me. In the meantime, you're doing absolutely
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: nothing but maxing and relaxing. Don't you lock your doors
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: every night? Well, tonight, lock down your address and personal information.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Go to incogni.com slash Curtis for 60% off. That's I-N-C-O-G-N-I
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: dot com slash Curtis.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: It is a fascinating debate, the use of flock cameras.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you've realized, but it's risen to
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: the point that The consternation about flock cameras has risen
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: to the point where it's become a political issue all
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: across the country. People have to take a position on
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: flock and data centers. These are two brand new political
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: issues that everybody's trying to catch up on. But it's
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: a fascinating question because flock has found 10,000 missing persons.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Flock has been involved in one million criminal investigations. So
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: right now you look at it and you go, wow,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: does the benefit outweigh the privacy concerns? And the problem is,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: as it always is, people. And that's what they're dealing
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: with in Texas right now. So Governor Abbott has stopped,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: put an end to any state funding efforts to local
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: municipalities and counties for flock. They're not going to get
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: any money. If they want it, they have to come
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: up with the money of themselves. And the reason is,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: is because he's been attacked by his opponent. He's running
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: for governor. He's running for reelection. And his opponent has
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: come out and said, look, they even have an ad
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: running that's saying, I think the tagline says something like,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: under Governor Abbott's Texas, you don't need a warrant for
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: You can just grab somebody off the street with flock.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: And so he's come out now with a position saying
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: there'll be no more state funding specifically because of the
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: human factor, specifically because of how police have misused it.
• 24:48
  Speaker 8: Over in Lufkin, Texas, a police officer was indicted on
• 24:51
  Speaker 8: 100 felony charges for misuse of flock information. Cities across
• 24:57
  Speaker 8: the state are canceling their contracts with flocks, which, by
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: the way, is an important part of the whole issue
• 25:04
  Speaker 8: about flocks. And that is the way flock cameras work
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: in Texas, they are contract agreements between cities and counties
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: and with flocks.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: That was important for him to point out, that it's
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: not the state that's paying for these because he's in
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: the middle of an election and his opponent's coming after him.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: But he's also listening to his constituents who are angry.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Look at Josh Hawley, right? He's not a liberal progressive.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: He's not a left-winger. He's right in Missouri, the show-me state.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: And he's a Republican and a conservative, and boy, you
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: do not want to face his inquisition. He has told
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: the CEO of Flock, who's all over the country, like
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: the boy putting his finger in the dike, the little
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Dutch boy, I want to see all the information by
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: September 8th. We're going to have hearings on this, and
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: you better be prepared. So it's spread across the nation,
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: whether it's a blue state or a red state. People
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: do not trust companies with their personal information any longer.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: They don't believe that Flock is not going to sell
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: their information to other companies.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Because remember, they have a lot of information on you. Yeah,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: but there's been no evidence that they're selling any of
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: this information. There has been evidence, however, that it does
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: solve crimes. There has been evidence that it's found lost children.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: There has been evidence it's found pedophiles with lost children.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Children they thought were lost, but they were actually abducted.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: So it's really a difficult decision to make. And the problem,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: every single time there's a problem with it, it's some
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: yahoo in a local police office who wants to track
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: his ex-wife or some girl he's interested in. It's always
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: a police officer. By the way, Josh Hawley has launched
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: an inquiry into Flock, but he's urged the company now
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: to reveal... And this is the key question. This is
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: the key question. Who can access these cameras? And how
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: do they get access? And are there any guardrails to
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: getting access? That's what has to be fixed. You don't
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: want to just throw out flock cameras. Well, you talk
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: about guardrails.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Governor Abbott has taken the lead about the data centers,
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: the filing centers, the AI filing centers. Over the weekend
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: on the Fox News channel, he said, Data centers? Let
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: me tell you something. There is absolutely no connection between
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: China and the anti-data center debate.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: None whatsoever. This MAGA, Republican, right? Red State, Texas. He said... I.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Haven't done it because of anything said by China. I
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: listen to my people and I'm seeing real problems, promises
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: made by these data filing corporations for AI and not delivered.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: So this whole idea, how many times have you been bombarded?
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's red Chinese misinformation, red Chinese misinformation. Well, you
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: better start writing to Austin, to the governor's office, because
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: the Texas governor on the Fox News channel over the
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: weekend says China isn't behind the anti-data center debate. Yeah,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: it's been silly. And I've talked, as I told you,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: I was kind of inundated online and talking to people
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: about this because they were upset that I didn't say
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: it was Chinese propaganda. You know what? It is propaganda, though.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: There's no question it is propaganda. It's propaganda by the
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: data center companies. They're the ones that are behind this
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: whole thing that there's Chinese propaganda because they want you
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: to think, oh, they're fine. If it wasn't for those
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: damn Chinese, we'd be having data centers all across the country. No,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: the concerns are real. The concerns in the community's And
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I just feel like I have to preface this every
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: time before we get the talkbacks. It's not that I'm
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: against data centers. They just shouldn't be in a community,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: and the community should have some say over what goes
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: in their community.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: So can I tell all of our listeners who want
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: to besiege you with emails and texts, if you want
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: to say it's red Chinese propaganda, you better reroute it
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: to Austin, Texas, to the governor's office, because Governor Greg Abbott,
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: This weekend on Fox News says China isn't behind the
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: anti-data center debate.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of crime over the weekend and some
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: of the crime was just heinous, including a man. shooting
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: in Trenton, New Jersey. We'll give you the details and
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: the investigation when we come back. Now, I've reported stories
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: like that all of my life. I know how quickly,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: this was a block party where that mass shooting was.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: I know how quickly an ordinary moment can turn into chaos,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: can turn into an emergency. The most common of that
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: is choking. Choking is one of those moments that can
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: happen to anyone, a child, a parent, a grandparent. And
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: when it does, panic sets in and seconds matter. That's
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: why I want to tell you about LifeVac. LifeVac is
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: the first and only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device to be
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: used for second-line treatment when recommended choking protocols have been
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: followed without success, like slapping somebody in the back, trying
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: to dig it out of a child's throat, or the Heimlich.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Doesn't always work. And here's what's remarkable. LifeVac has helped
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: save over 6,000 lives worldwide. Just saved another child's life,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: a three-year-old in California. within the week. But think about that.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Over 6,000, that's not just a number. These are real
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: people we're talking about. Real families, real second chances. Preparedness matters.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Having the right tool right nearby can make all the
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: difference in the world. So learn more about LifeVac today

• 31:18
  Speaker 1: scene in Trenton, New Jersey. A mass shooting is what

  Speaker 1: it's being called because it was. It left two people
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: dead and eight hurt. It was a cookout, a cookout
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: on Sunday. And a gunman walked into the crowd and
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: began firing. That left two people dead, eight more wounded.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: This was just after Sunday. So it was actually very
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: early Monday morning. It was just after midnight on Sunday.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: And it was on Locust Street in Trenton. 200 people
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: had been there for most of the day for a barbecue.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: They were all partying. And then everybody ran in a panic.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: The one gentleman that the news talked to just happened
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: to be riding down the street. Now, the way you
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: kind of know this must have been gang-related... is that
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: a lot of people talked. Nobody, not one person, would
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: go on camera or show their face.
• 32:16
  Speaker 13: I was walking to my car down the street with
• 32:20
  Speaker 13: my people. The next thing you know, I just heard
• 32:21
  Speaker 13: two shots first, and then about 10 more after, and
• 32:25
  Speaker 13: then 10 more after, and then after that, everybody started running.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's unclear if the victim was among the dead,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: but if a 33-year-old woman and a 44-year-old man died
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: in the shooting, it's unclear if the shooter was among
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: the dead. The male victim was recently released as a
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: convict by Trenton Mayor Reid Gushura. He said he had
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: made strides to put his life back together. I mean,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: regardless of who got shot, regardless of how this how
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: this all occurred. It's just an incredible travesty. And it
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: happened too much. It happened last month, if you remember,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: in Patterson, New Jersey, when they were just having an
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: outdoor barbecue. And Curtis, it just stinks of being gang-related. Oh, yeah.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: And this mayor is real naive down there because it
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: was an unauthorized block party. Three blocks from the public
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: safety building, you know, police headquarters downtown. Remember, it's a
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: small city, Trenton. It's like Albany, only like 91,000 people.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: I'd say half the people are affiliated to the blood gang.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: It is intense gang activity. So they didn't shut it
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: down early on when they could have shut it down
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: by saying, you're not authorized. It went over curfew. Again,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: there was no attempt to shut it down. And now
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: there's going to be retaliation. I guarantee you. So the
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: mayor is acting like, I don't understand.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Why wasn't it shut down? Hey, guy, that's why you're
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: the mayor. That's why you.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Work with the police commissioner and the public safety department
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: to make sure in a very small city you should
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: have your finger on the pulse. And again, your excuse is, well,
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: they were celebrating a man who had rebuilt his life
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: after incarceration. OK, but you still got to dot the
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: I and cross the T. And that's what wasn't done,
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: wasn't done in Patterson, hasn't been done in other areas.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: And what do you expect?
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: The longer the night goes on, more drinking, more drugging,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: more people staring at one another, particularly if they are
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: of different gangs or even of the same gang. And
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: they're arguing over a lady or any number of things.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: You stepped on my shoe and then they'll pull out
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: an automatic weapon and pop, pop, pop.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: 50 casings they found at the scene.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: And as you pointed out, the code of the street,
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: snitches get stitches and end up in ditches. Now, I'm
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: thinking the Trenton Police Department has some paid snitches. Every
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: police department does. Hopefully they can resolve this sooner rather
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: than later so that we don't see a series of
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: revenge shootings.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Right. And as you said, this has happened way too much.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: I can point to in the last three months, parties
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: that were shot up. Remember, a 13-year-old, a baby was
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: shot in one of these. And so there's always unintended consequences.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: unintended victims because they're after one person, but then it
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: just becomes the wild West. They go up to shoot somebody.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, everybody that's affiliated with
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: that person or with the people shooting pull out guns. And, and,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: and so there's no way there's no metal detectors at
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: an outdoor barbecue. And that's what you need. You need
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: to make sure it's gun free and that's impossible.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Well, You know, we talked about Albany, another small city
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: that is the state capital of New York. For the
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: first time ever, they had drive-by shootings in Arbor Hill,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: which was always an area of crime. But they never
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: before had drive-by shootings. If you don't crack down on
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: it initially... It'll just escalate and escalate and escalate.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: And remember, there's a pipeline.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: You go from Trenton, you go right into Philly, Baltimore,
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: you go right into York, you go right into Allentown.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: There's a whole pipeline of gangbangers when they get into
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: trouble and the heat is on in Trenton. They flee
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: to other cities where they have affiliate gang membership and
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: they keep them on the lam.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and nobody's safe. That's the thing from not only
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: the drive-bys, but I just looked up the Patterson shooting
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: to get more information on it, and I had forgotten this.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: That was a 13-year-old girl's birthday party. A 13-year-old girl's
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: birthday party. It's like nothing is sacred, just a bunch
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: of people, and guess who might be there? And then
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: To not just take out one person, to just go
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: and start shooting wildly is the most vicious type of
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: evil there is. Absolutely.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: Up next, the jury is back today to continue deliberating
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: on the fate of Lindsay Clancy, who killed her three children.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Hundreds of people will.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Be outside in solidarity for her wearing pink, mostly women,
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: some men. And there was a similar case in the Bronx.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: It was adjudicated and a judge actually ruled that the
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: woman who had killed her two children in a shelter
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: in the Bronx could not be sent to prison, was guilty,
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: but by reasons of insanity and instead will be sent
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: to a psychiatric institution. I know you were strong in
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: your opinion on Friday when we lent the airwaves. I'm
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: wondering with this new information if you have changed your
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: tone at all on this, Larry.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: But first, the news at 7. Well, jurors who are
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: determining the fate of one of the worst mothers in history,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Lindsay Clancy, are returning to court today to resume deliberations
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: for a third day. For the life of me, I
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: can't understand what's taken them so long. Lindsay Clancy, 36
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: years old. She's accused of killing her three children, very methodically,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: by the way, strangling them with a plastic cord in
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: January of 2023. That's how long it's taken this to
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: get to trial. She faces three counts of first-degree murder
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: for the deaths of Cora, five years old, Dawson, three
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: years old, and Callan eight months old in Duxbury, Massachusetts.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Clancy has pleaded not guilty by reason of lack of
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: criminal responsibility due to her severe mental health struggles during childbirth.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: She says she doesn't even remember what happened. Well, a
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: jury of nine women and three men have spent more
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: than 10 hours deliberating right now. They have asked for
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: specific evidence that including pill bottles and a knife from
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: her attempted suicide. You see, right afterwards, she slid her
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: wrist and then jumped out of a window. She's still
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: paralyzed from the waist down because of the jump. So
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: the jury right now is facing five choices. First-degree murder,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: second-degree murder, manslaughter, not guilty, or not criminally responsible by
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: reason of mental illness. And Curtis and I, talked about
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: this on Friday. And of course, I started to get
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: emotional about this because I can't for the life of me, Curtis,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: understand how this isn't a slam dunk, how she isn't just,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: I wish they had a death penalty. To put her
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: to death. She planned this out. She methodically killed those children.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: She chased after the five-year-old. And I don't know in
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: what world anybody could have any sympathy for this woman.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Well, there was a case in the Bronx just adjudicated,
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: different in nature, but somewhat similar. The trial was judged.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: They determined, let's go to a judge, not a jury,
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: because they were fearful that a jury might find this
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: mother guilty. But a Bronx judge adjudicated it and found
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: a mom of two was suffering from postpartum psychosis. She
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: was living in a shelter with her two children in
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: the Bronx at that time and found her not guilty.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: of killing her two young kids. Now, she will be
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: remanded to a psychiatric facility very soon when she comes
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: back for sentencing. Her name is Dionne Fleming, 26. She
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: was found not responsible by mental disease or defect in
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: court for the deaths of her two kids, One 11 months,
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: one three-year-old. She was hallucinating, she said, convinced that the
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: world was over. A spirit had invaded her body. She
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: had been in a hospital in Queens for two months.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: She had a major depressive disorder, prescribed psychotropic drugs, but
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: she didn't take the meds. Somewhat similar as we see
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: in the case of Lindsay Clancy. in that when they
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: searched her home, she had all these prescribed drugs that
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: were supposed to modulate her or deal with her psychotic problems,
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: and she barely took any. So they found all these
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: pill bottles that hadn't even been opened up. So somewhat
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: similar situation, but in the case of the Bronx woman,
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: the DA actually joined with the defense attorney. Now get this, Larry,
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: this is going to make your blood boil.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: The associate district attorney for the Bronx said prosecuting mothers
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: does not and cannot prevent these crimes from happening, but
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: public discussion will.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: That's how they dealt with it in the Bronx. Obviously,
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: we're waiting to see what the jury up in Plymouth decides.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: And also, it's interesting because while this case has gone
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: on and received national, now international attention, there are hundreds
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: of people, mostly women, who've gathered outside the Plymouth courthouse
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: wearing pink gear and holding signs to rally in support
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: of Lindsay Clancy. These are not like Luigi Mangione crazies,
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: you know, those groupies. Seem to be sane and sober
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: and calm men and women who were there to say
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: you should not send Lindsay Clancy to jail. I'm wondering
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: what you would say if you were outside to all
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: of them because they appear to be very respectful. They're
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: not like those Luigi Mangione crazies. They just feel that
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: she has a problem that requires psychiatric care and not incarceration.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: That's funny because I think they're crazier than the Luigi Mangione.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: I don't care how they dress. It's their actions, the
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: fact that they're trying to support someone who killed three children,
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: methodically killed three children. Now, she claims she was so
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: whacked out on drugs. By the way, they didn't find
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: all those drugs in her system either. when they took
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: her in right after they went and got her. But
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: she claims that, you know, she was just whacked out.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: She didn't know what she was doing. Well, she had
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: it planned. She sent her husband out knowing that he
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: had to stop at two places. He said, go to
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: the grocery store and then go to this place. And
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: so he had to go to two places. She knew
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: how much time she had. So she plotted this whole thing.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: She took the three children down in the basement and
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: the five-year-old had to watch the other two strangled He
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: tried to run. He wanted to run away, and she
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: chased after him to make sure that she strangled him. Look,
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: there is nothing about this that shows that somehow she
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: was so whacked out that she did this. There is
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: nothing about this that she claims, I don't even remember
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: any of it. No, no, no. This was methodical. She
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: had plenty of time to think about something else. Can
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: any parent out there imagine looking at your child and
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: strangling them to death? And we're talking about a baby
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: and toddlers. Looking at them in the face and strangling
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: them to death. That goes well above and beyond the
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: pale of any murder that I can think of. That's just...
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: to the point of being obscene. So the fact that
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: this jury has even taken two days, the fact that
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: there are people outside defending her, Curtis, to me, that
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: is sickening. Well, I think their rally cry is she
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: needed help. She needed help.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: And there are a lot of other people in similar circumstances.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: If we discuss it even broader beyond just mother's, doing
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: harm to their children or the worst of all worse,
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: killing their children. We've seen a few cases like this,
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: is that there is a mental health care crisis in
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: America and people are not receiving the mental health care
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: aid that they want. Like I said, they're making a
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: rational presentation. They don't appear to be unhinged, angry, but
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: they just keep citing similar situations that they had. After
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: delivering a child in the deep depression and how if
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: they had not received any care, they might have been
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: in the same position.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, I feel so bad for her. Oh, my God. No,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't at all. Nobody should feel for
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: this woman. She killed three children. Can we keep remembering
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: the children that she killed? All the discussion has been
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: about her. Everything in the media has been about her.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: Everything in the media has been about depression and over-medicating
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: and the doctors and all of this. Can we talk
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: about three little kids who will never experience another birthday,
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: who won't get a chance to go to school, who
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: won't get a chance to grow up? We don't know
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: what they would have become. She ended all of that.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: So don't tell me she was crazy. She had enough
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: wherewithal to plan this out. She had enough wherewithal to
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: send her husband away. No, look, I would rather not
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: see her live. I'm so upset about this. But the
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: fact that there are people, there's something wrong with the world.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: There is really something wrong with the world. We support
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: the wrong people. And they gather for her. Where are
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: the people out there with candles lit for the three
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: kids that were killed? Where are they? Where's their support?
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: You know, to me, I'm sorry, Curtis, this is sickening.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: The whole thing is sickening. And I hate to have
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: a discussion as if there is some rationality behind, you know,
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: letting her go because, well, she really didn't know what
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: she was doing. She knew exactly what she was doing.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: She was out to get her husband, not those kids.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: This was the worst thing that was going to happen
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: to her husband. And she did this to go after
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: him and make him feel awful for the rest of
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: his life. That's what she did. She shouldn't be living anymore.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: So the deliberation, which continues again today, top charge is
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: basically premeditated murder, triple life without parole. The jury can
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: make that decision. Lifetime in jail. Number two, manslaughter, which
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: the judge threw in when he was charging the jury
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: that had not originally, I think, been discussed, would mean
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: 20-year max. Then, obviously, being found guilty, but for reason
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: of insanity, which would mean she would be transported to
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: a psychiatric facility in Massachusetts.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: And with no.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: No mention that if she were ever to be perceived
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: of having recovered after therapy and drugs, that she would
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: then be incarcerated. You know, it's sort of like that
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: Hinckley effect. You know, you go into a hospital and
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: once the shrinks determine you're okay, you're released. Which I
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: think a lot of people have a difficulty with. But
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: now we wait.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: And apparently... It's not a slam dunk, as some would
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: have thought. No, no. They're looking for some type of
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: middle ground, and that's horrible. It's just horrible. This should
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: have been the deliberation of one hour. They should have
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: come back in. But you know there's some bleeding heart
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: woman on that jury. There's nine women, eight women, right?
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: And so, well, anyway. Well, it might be a guy.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: You never know. There's three men and nine women.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: Uh, only one note came out, but apparently of no
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: significance on Friday.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: And then the judge let him leave early. Cause everybody
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: out front's a woman. It looks like you mean the demonstrators,
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: the demonstrators, yeah. The majority of women. So they're the
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: ones to worry about. There's just some women that think.
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: Well, I'd love to see you outside with those women
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: and men and having a discussion.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't talk to them. I'd just say you sicken me.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: When we come back, do you remember the Tilda Whirl?
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: No. I may have seen it, but I don't ever
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: remember being on it. But you have some special notification
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: to give us about it, especially for all those who
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: loved riding it at amusement parks all over America. Plus
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: a chance to see Air Supply at 825. Now, remember,
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: I've always told all of you the best teacher I
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: ever had in my life was in fifth grade at
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: PS 114 in Canarsie, Brooklyn, Alan Topol. And there is
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: a program in which you get to say thanks to
• 50:04

• 50:09
  Speaker 2: and learning into their classrooms each and every day. It's

• 50:23
  Speaker 1: Well, they had a big celebration at the Minnesota State
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: Fair this year because you're all going to remember this,
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: the Tilt-A-Whirl. is now 100 years old. Remember the big,
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: the ones I always went on were red, but sometimes
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: they're just brightly colored in all different colors. But it
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: debuted at the Falcon Heights event in 1926, becoming a
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: mainstay at fairs and amusement parks across the country. I
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: think everybody remembers being on a Tilt-A-Whirl. As long as
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: I can.
• 51:00
  Speaker 6: Remember, when I was young, my parents and my grandparents
• 51:03
  Speaker 6: took me to the fair. We rode the Tilt-A-Whirl every time.
• 51:06
  Speaker 6: We love to bring our kids and do the same thing.
• 51:09
  Speaker 6: It's definitely a family tradition. Knowing that it's 100 years
• 51:12
  Speaker 6: old this year is pretty crazy, but I'm glad that
• 51:14
  Speaker 6: we get to be a part of it.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: And down the shore, all the boardwalks, every amusement park
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: you go to, there is a Tilt-A-Whirl. And I'm sure
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: when you were a kid, you wanted the Tilt-A-Whirl.
• 51:24
  Speaker 15: No.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: No, no, roller coasters and bumper cars. In fact, I
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: took my oldest son, Anthony, to Seaside Heights. Remember, they
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: had a great roller coaster that ended up in the
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: sea after Superstorm Sandy.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: It was right before that.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: To be honest, I probably have seen it, but I've
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: never been on it.
• 51:45
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: Never.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: I wonder if that's the way it is with the
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: Jersey Shore gal, our own Natalie. Oh, yeah.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: I've been on it.
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: The only way I could describe it, it's like the
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: teacup ride on acid.
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: It's twisty, turny.
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: It makes your stomach sick.
• 52:04
  Speaker 6: I won't do it anymore.
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: I did it as a kid.
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: It's the ride that inevitably you will see someone throw
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: up on.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's probably right.
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: It looks innocent.
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: It looks not so bad. But when you're on it,
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: forget about it.
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: Your whole world is.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: I feel I've been deprived. Yeah, it wasn't that. Let's
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: get you on it, Curtis. I never felt it was
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: that bad. You know what it really is? There's little
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: kid rides, right? And I would say the teacup ride's
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: a little kid ride.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: The teacup ride is a little kid ride. And then
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: there are adult rides. Well, there's these in-between rides like
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: the Tilda Whirl. It's You graduate to the Tildewirl when
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: you're like maybe 11 to 16, and then you go
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: for the bigger roller coasters.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: Larry and Natalie, me and my cousins would cross the
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: border from New York into Jersey to what was Action
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: Park at the time. We called it Traction Park. They
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: had more injuries, more deaths from all the rides. They
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: had ambulances waiting outside. I don't know how the owners
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: and operators could even get insurance there. I don't remember
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: that ride at Action Park, a.k.a. Traction Park.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sure it was there. I'm sure it was there.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: Now that I say it, you're going to go to
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: Park and go, oh, there's a tilt. I have to
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: take a ride on it. There's that one. All right.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: We have a lot of talkbacks that we need to
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: get to talking about the Clancy trial.
• 53:29
  Speaker 15: I suffered from alcohol withdrawal. I suffered from auditory hallucinations.
• 53:37
  Speaker 15: And I have to tell you, I heard the phone
• 53:41
  Speaker 15: ringing and people speaking. But the last phone call that
• 53:45
  Speaker 15: I heard was my son telling me that whatever I do,
• 53:49
  Speaker 15: call 911.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know, there's never a point where, look it,
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: I understand. I'm not saying that there's medication that can't
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: affect you like that. I'm not saying that at all.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: But this woman killed three children and she planned it.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: She planned it, and she looked them in the faces
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: as she killed them. One of the children tried to
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: run away. There's just no forgiving that.
• 54:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know what's taking so long either. I mean,
• 54:18
  Speaker 7: it should be a slam dunk.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: And if by any way.
• 54:22
  Speaker 7: This woman gets exonerated and let go, it's going to
• 54:25
  Speaker 7: be like Casey Anthony 2.0.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good call. Excellent comparison.
• 54:32
  Speaker 18: Larry, I love you, but you are way off on this.
• 54:35
  Speaker 18: I hope you get a thousand of these talkbacks. There's
• 54:38
  Speaker 18: not enough time in 30 seconds to handle this.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: She did this only.
• 54:43
  Speaker 18: Because of a psychosis. How can you not see that?
• 54:47
  Speaker 18: What other motive did she have?
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: None.
• 54:50
  Speaker 18: She was a perfectly normal woman as a nurse, over-medicated,
• 54:55
  Speaker 18: and had a psychosis. And she did that only because
• 54:59
  Speaker 18: of that. Try to understand that.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, I don't. I'm sorry, I don't. And so the
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: psychosis made her come up with this plan where she
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: had to get her husband out of the house and
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: pretended they were going to really have this nice dinner
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: together that night. And then when she knew he was away,
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: and by the way, she planned it so that he
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: would be away for enough time. And then he takes
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: her children, her children away. down into the basement and
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: strangles them one by one. And when one of them
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: tries to run away, she runs after that person. There
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: was never a point in all of that where there
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: was just a glimmer of sanity. Sorry.
• 55:42
  Speaker 11: Nope.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: Can't forgive her. I just can't forgive her, and I
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: hope the jury feels the same way. Now let's get
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: to Daria Albinger with the 7.30 news. Daria.
• 55:51

  Speaker 19: Hofstra and the American Association of University Professors Union still
• 56:10
  Speaker 19: cannot come to an agreement on a contract with the
• 56:13
  Speaker 19: current one expiring at midnight. The union did vote to
• 56:15
  Speaker 19: authorize a strike if an agreement is not reached. The
• 56:18
  Speaker 19: union says raises in health care costs are the main
• 56:21
  Speaker 19: sticking points. Hofstra says it's committed to reaching an agreement

  Speaker 16: did you hear this? Another NFL owner was caught procuring
• 58:11
  Speaker 16: a hooker.
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: What is it with these guys? They have more money
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: than God. They're frugal. You see, we know they're cheapskates,
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: but when you're a millionaire or a billionaire, they say, yeah, well,
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: how do you think they became a millionaire or a billionaire?
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: They're very frugal. It does save money. Warner Wolf will
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: explain a little bit more. He's up next.

• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, he's the man, Warner Wolf, with the start of
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: the football season upon us. Exhibition, Giants vs. Jets, Giants 1-0.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: as they approach their new season along with the Jets. Warner,
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: what can you tell us about this whole exhibition season.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: For both squads?
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 24: I'm still laughing. There were 48 exhibition games this year.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 24: The so-called favorite failed to beat the spread 38 of
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 24: the 48 games, proving once again nobody knows nothing when
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 24: you don't even know who's playing. And you idiots who
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 24: bet on the games. Unbelievable. Now, you know, the last
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 24: time that a Jets-Giants exhibition game meant anything was the
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 24: first time they ever played. August of 1969 in the
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 24: Yale Bowl. Joe Namath threw three touchdown passes, and the
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 24: AFL Super Bowl champion Jets clobbered the established NFL Giants 37-14.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 10: Results?
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 24: Giants owner Wellington Mara fired Giant coach Allie Sherman even
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 24: before the regular season began. And the irony is that Sherman,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 24: he had a 10-year contract, by the way. He wanted
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 24: to take Joe Namath for the Giants in the first
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 24: pick in the 1965 draft and run Wellington Mara overruled him.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, no.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 24: Yeah, that's right. We have to take Tucker Fredrickson. Can
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 24: you imagine how the difference of the franchises might have been?
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 24: Joe Namath.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: A Brooklyn College education.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: He was the quarterback when Brooklyn College had a football team,
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: Ali Sherman.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: He went on to become the chairman of OTB.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 24: That's right. He was the left-handed quarterback from Brooklyn College.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 24: So it comes out that I still can't get over it.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 24: Imagine a giant. Namath had been blamed for the giant.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 24: And the poor Jets. Oh, my God. So it comes out.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 24: This is serious. One in every four NFL players has
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 24: or will have the brain damage CTE, chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 24: From too many hits to the head. And you know
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 24: what I'm thinking? The rate would be much higher if
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 24: you counted the hundreds of players who played in the
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 24: previous seven decades when there was no testing. And the
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 24: coach would just say, oh, you just had your bell rung.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 24: Get back in the game. And as long as we're
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 24: talking about head injuries, how about all the men and
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 24: women's soccer players, right? And their headers, no protection. Are
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 24: we going to read about them years from now?
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've done a lot of stories on this. And
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: you know what else is high? Competitive cheerleading when it
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: comes to concussions because they fall on your heads.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 10: Oh, my gosh.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they get tossed in the air wanting their competition.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 24: Yeah, we know that.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: And then when they come down, they don't always get caught.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: And unfortunately, they pile drive right into the turf.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, gosh.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 24: Well, I'm glad you brought that up, Larry. Put a
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 24: halt to the show.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: What the hell? After what you guys said, what are
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: you going to have your kids do? They can't be cheerleaders.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: They can't play soccer. They can't play smash football.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 4: You know, with soccer and youth soccer, they do not
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 4: let them head now until a certain age. They eliminated that.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: It's a penalty.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 24: No headers. All right.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 11: Hey.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: Hey.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 24: Move over NFL players. The owners are making the players
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 24: look good. Remember years ago it was Patriots owner Robert
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 24: Kraft arrested for prostitution in a massage parlor. So last
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 24: week it was 49ers owner Jed York arrested for lining
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 24: up a prostitute in a sting operation. Come on, give
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 24: these owners something to do between the games. I love this.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 24: I love this. They're showing up the players. Hey, what's
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 24: wrong with this picture? 23-year-old tight end Daquan Wright, who
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 24: played two years at Virginia Tech and then two more
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 24: years at Mississippi, and was an undrafted free agent released
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 24: by the Eagles and Browns, is going back to college
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 24: for a fifth year to play at LSU.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 25: Why?
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 24: Because Wright will be paid more money with the use
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 24: of his name, image, and likeness at LSU, than he
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 24: would be on a practice team in the NFL. Something's
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 24: wrong with that picture.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: Wow. So basically what you're saying, Warner, is that you
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: can make more in college now than you might even
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: make if you make an NFL team.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 24: Certainly in your first year, yeah. Because I think it's
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 24: $ 885, 000 minimum. And who knows what they'll give you. Hey,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 24: the stooge of the week, and also the boo of
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 24: the week, has to go to the CBC, the Canadian
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 24: Broadcasting Company, last week ordered their entire television staff not
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 24: to refer to the 9-11 World Trade Center disaster of
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 24: almost 3,000 people dying as a terrorist attack.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: No!
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 14: No!
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 24: Hey, look up the word terrorist, you dummies. It says
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 24: an act of non-combatants to achieve religious or ideological goals. Man,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 24: go tell the families and friends or the victims it
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 24: was not a terrorist act. I would rename, and I'd
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 24: be ashamed to work for the CBC, but I'd rename
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 24: that Canadian broadcasting company The Canadian Brainless Company. I mean,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 24: that's disgraceful.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: It is disgraceful, but we have to give some credit
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: to the staff there and to the anchors and to
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: the reporters who refused to do it.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 10: Oh, good.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 24: I wasn't aware of that.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. That edict never made air because so many
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: people said, no, no, no, we can't do that. Yeah, so... Yes,
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: they were brainless. The one that the executive that wrote
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: that was brainless, but the staff, they deserve some applause.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 24: That's terrific. Hey, real quick, talk about perseverance. Journeyman quarterback
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 24: Josh Dobbs, who was drafted way back in 2017, has
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 24: played with nine different NFL teams, has been so impressive
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 24: in preseason. He is now the backup quarterback for For
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 24: the Detroit Lions to Jared Goff. The record, by the way,
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 24: is 14 different teams. Josh Johnson, including the Giants and Jets.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 24: But that's a good story. You know, Goff could get hurt,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 24: and all of a sudden, Josh Dobbs. Man, that's a
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 24: long time since he's waited.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: That's longevity. You see, if you can be a backup quarterback,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: if you.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: Can be willing to sit on the bench and collect splinters,
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: You could go from team to team.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's longevity in the NFL.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: What?
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: You're running back. You're lucky if you play four years
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: and you're gone. That's right.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 24: That's the average four and a half years. You not
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 24: only collect splinters, he's collecting a million and a half dollars.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 19: That's right.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: To not play. I do appreciate it, Warner.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 24: All right.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: Same time. That's right. Thank you for your attention. Same time,
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: same place next week.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: Up next, and Natalie Migliari, a lot of these ballplayers,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: they have a secondary home. They have to have it
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: because they have a primary residence, and then they have
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: a home in the.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: City that they play for. Well, if it was New
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: York City. We're talking, how do you say that again, Larry? Pied-de-terre.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: Whatever the hell that name means.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: We'll get an update on what the people in the
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: streets are thinking coming up next. Now, it's 710 WOR
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: Well... Natalie is out today talking about the PA to
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: tear tax. And I'm just wondering, did anybody, does anybody
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: use the term PA to tear?
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 26: I'm the one who's really asking them about it. So
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 26: I'm the one who has to say PA to tear.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 26: And then I colloquially try to be like, you know,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 26: the second home tax.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, that one.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So, but people.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: Know about it. They certainly know about it.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 26: You don't necessarily have to say the second home tax
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 26: for some people to be like, pied-a-terre. So, a Staten
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 26: Island judge is set to hear arguments today in the
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 26: lawsuit challenging the city's rollout of this pied-a-terre tax, which...
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 26: Impacts New Yorkers who own second homes, look, we got
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 26: two of those key terms in there, worth more than
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 26: $ 5 million, perplexing to many owners here in the city,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 26: both past and present.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 14: Happy I sold it.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: I think it's stupid, but if that's what they have
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: to do, that's what they have to do.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 5: I don't think it'll affect the regular New Yorker, but
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 5: obviously the people who want to have a pied-à-terre, it'll
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 5: make a big difference.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: What are you hearing from the people in your building
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 3: about it?
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 8: Well, they're very upset.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 5: A lot of them, you know, have been residents for
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 5: 20 years, and this has been their lifestyle for years.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 5: So why should they be penalized now? They're paying taxes.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 26: Yeah, a lot of those people in the building still...
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 26: She was on the board of her building. She was
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 26: telling me they have to figure out how that's even
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 26: going to work in a co-op or a condo when people,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 26: you know, when the building pays collective taxes and there
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 26: are people with the pied-à-terre in that building. That's something
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 26: that's still trying to be figured out in a way. Now,
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 26: that's the Upper West Side. Head down to the Penn
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 26: Station area and you've got different opinions regarding the second
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 26: home tax.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 7: They got it.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: Might as well hit them, you know. Everybody else out
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: here is struggling. The middle class is struggling. You know,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: it's no in-between no more. So somebody got to hold
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: this down. I think it's fair, but it has to
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: be very carefully set for that. You know what?
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 3: I got a lot to take care of in my life.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 5: I'm 90, heading toward 91, and I'm not too involved.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's how she got there.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 18: To her.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: She's like, I'm not too involved. Maybe that's how she
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: got there, you know.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 26: Maybe she would be more involved if she found out
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 26: the city sent at least 1,200 notifications, if not more,
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 26: about this tax to the wrong people. That's after the
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 26: city reduced the number of impacted residents from 17,000 to
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 26: about 11,000.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: When New Yorkers are asked if it's a rushed rollout.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: It's negligence on his behalf. of his administration. It's just negligence.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: It's like being passed over. Totally a mix-up.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 5: And I can tell you from the perspective of one
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 5: of the board members in the building I'm in, that
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 5: they were, everyone was upset and misunderstanding it. It was
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 5: just a stupid thing. And the whole thing is really
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 5: not properly handled.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 26: Yeah, and then it's not even really in place yet, obviously.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 26: They're trying to get it in place now. The tax
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 26: is expected to raise... $ 500 million additional for the city's budget.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 26: But will it be abused or will it be put
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 26: to good use to improve the quality of life for
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 26: New Yorkers?
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 5: I wish it would, but that's not the way the
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 5: money flows.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: It never does. I hadn't seen it yet. And I'm
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: a senior, senior girl.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: You know, you don't have to go too much more
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: further for you to understand what the outcome will be.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 18: So all you guys just stick around for the next
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 18: voting series.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: Now, just a slight correction.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: When it comes to the condos and co-ops, if it's
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: worth the unit itself a million dollars or more, but
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: you are correct. The taxes get based on the collective worth.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: So let's say you went Chapter 11 on a condo.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: That lowers everybody's equity.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: Same thing with a co-op.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: So it's almost like a cheese box, you know, when
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: you have the cheese box in the cheese box out
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: like an accordion.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: So they get measured a little differently than the people
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: who own a three family, two family or one family home.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: It's got to be worth more than five million dollars.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 3: Do you think it's going to work?
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: They'll get their money, but there'll be a lot of
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: complaining along the way. So we'll see, though.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: They have a favorable judge, Randy Mastro, who is the opposition.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: He's a conservative Democrat judge. You almost can't find any
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: of those any longer, who I think will be making
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: the determination for now. And then it has to go
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: up to the appellate court and goes on and on
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: and on.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: So it could be some time before this hits, right? Yeah, Ozzie,
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: I think, is the guy who makes the decision today.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: Ozzie is the guy you want to go to when
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: you want a Democrat because he leans conservative.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 3: Interesting.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 26: But I think that when it comes to just New
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 26: Yorkers on the street, when they hear it, if you
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 26: don't have money, or I don't want to say if
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 26: you don't have money, but if you're not sitting in
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 26: that upper echelon of society, to them, it's, you know,
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 26: get hit with it. But, you know, it's almost this
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 26: idea of the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 3: So there's this, you know, but only a few.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 27: People.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because they ain't getting the money. There's already a
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: hole in the budget. Exactly. There's a big deficit. That's
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: where the money's going to go.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 26: But that money goes to services to service these people.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 26: That's like the argument of people like give it to us.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 26: That guy on the street who was like hit it where,
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 26: you know, hit it and let them hold us up.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 26: That was his argument in a sense. You know, you
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 26: get the bites of the people, but you get into
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 26: deeper conversations.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: But you notice some of the other people were saying,
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: I don't trust that that money's going to go anywhere.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: Right, and it won't.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 3: With everything, with anything in this city, right?
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 26: Everybody's speculating or skeptical of where the money actually goes.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 3: With any topic we do.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: Well, they should be. The budget keeps going up and
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: up and up, and services don't seem to be getting
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: any better anymore. Natalie Migliore is going to be back
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: the same time tomorrow with her beat on the street.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 22: The WOR forecast on the Weather Channel. Five rounds of
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 22: wet weather riding along the front as we continue to
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 22: push on through the week. A chance of rain will
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 22: start going up tonight. Clouds around today going to leave
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 22: the shower threat out for now.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: 80 tonight.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 22: Scattered showers and thunderstorms developing, dropping to 70 in the city.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 22: Suburbs in the 60s. Had a few showers on Tuesday,
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 22: maybe an afternoon thunderstorm, 85. Scattered showers and thunderstorms around
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 22: on Wednesday. And at times, there may be some downpours.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 22: So we may start talking about a little bit of
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 22: a flood risk. Right now, 71 at WOR.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: The Yankees blew.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 16: Out Boston 16-1. The Mets fell to Houston 6-3. And
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 16: there are two big names that are out in the
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 16: first round of the U.S.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: Open.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 16: Novak Djokovic fell to Argentina's Mariano Navarone in five sets.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 16: And Venus Williams was beaten by fellow American Sophia Kennan.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 16: who's a wild card, by the way. She wasn't a
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 16: ranked player going into this tournament in straight sets. The
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 16: news is brought to you by Dr. Lederman's Radio Surgery

  Speaker 16: New York. Call 212-CHOICES, 212-CHOICES, for more information. Next news, 8.30,
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 16: bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: Curtis Lewa and Larry Menti in the morning.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 3: On 710WOR.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: The Voice of New York. Well, what do you hear
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: constantly about the midterm elections? You hear it doesn't matter
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: how many problems the Democrats are having and never getting
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: anything done or the fact that they have all these
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: DSA members rising to the top. Socialism has become a
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: big issue. None of that is going to matter if
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: the price of oil is still high, if the price
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: of gas at the pump is still high, if prices
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: are high. And that's all. on oil and gas prices. Well,
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump knows that better than anyone. And here we go.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: Before the midterms really kick off, and that all starts
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: in September, that's when you're going to start seeing all
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: the ads on TV, he has announced that U.S. control
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: of more than 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan oil reserves.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 17: 65 billion.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: Billion to give you an idea we produce and sell
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: five billion a year so you know that's 13 years
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: of oil there's going to be a glut of oil
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: because of this and uh people that know the oil
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: markets that trade in oil like the famous oil trader
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: phil flynn he thinks this is unbelievable.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 28: Wow, this is historic. It's unlike anything we've really seen before.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 28: You know, and a lot of people are worried about
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 28: us drawing down our strategic petroleum reserve. Now we have
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 28: the biggest strategic petroleum reserve in history. It's called Venezuela.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: But I think this is a win.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 28: It's a generational win for Americans because it is going
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 28: to lead to a generation of low prices.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: Right. 65 billion, that's years and years and years and
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: years of extra oil. It's going to have a major
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: effect on the global market. And if you're wondering, well,
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: did Venezuela get screwed in this whole deal? How did
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: this happen? What are we doing? Did we force ourselves?
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 11: No.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: All of this will help support the country's recovery and
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: advance the improvements that all Venezuelans want, need, and deserve.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 11: That is why we chose the path of diplomacy with
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 11: the United States of America to transform our differences into cooperation,
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 11: and that cooperation into investment, production, well-being, and tangible results
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 11: for Venezuelans.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: Right, because all the oil companies from the United States
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: are already in there, and there's going to be a
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: major meeting at the White House with the oil companies tomorrow.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: to settle this all out. They have to build infrastructure
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: down there. They've already been down there doing that, and
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: they've already been down there getting the pumps, but the
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: refinery is going to be built down there because right
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: now the refinery that they do have is not up
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: to snuff. So a lot has to happen, but at
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: the same time, there is oil being produced right now
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: in Venezuela that we are going to get. And that's
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: going to have to affect the global markets. And so
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: we will see, Curtis, how fast the prices can come down.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: I respectfully disagree. Okay.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: Russia's production is down enormously because Ukraine is bombing away
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: at their refineries and their reserves. Russia had tremendous capacity
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: because of this Iran war. Iran has bombed the refineries
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: of the Gulf countries who are responsible for pumping a
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: lot of the oil and then refining it, as we
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: have bombed the refineries of Iran.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: So there's less oil supply.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: And the United States, we are not going to see
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: anything noticeable at the pumps in the next two months,
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: especially now that they're bombing away at one another again.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: There was peace.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: It was an economic war. The United States bombed an
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: island off of Iran. Iran bombed an American base in Jordan. Hopefully,
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: that'll be it. But if it continues, then the price
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: of oil goes up. And the most important oil is diesel.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 2: Diesel is the fuel that goes into the trucks, that
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: goes into the train engines, that transports the products to market.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: And that price in the United States is up hovering
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: near $ 6, the price of a gallon of gasoline about $ 4.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: So you're not going to see any of that. Toughest
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: thing in the world to build from scratch, in addition
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: to a nuclear power plant, is a refinery. So that's
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: going to take a while. And I think the American
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: voters are going to go based on what they are
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: paying at the pump, what they are paying home heating
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: fuel oil as we move towards the winter, the jet
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: propulsion oil that obviously has led to an increase in
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: the price of airline tickets and the price of food
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: and the price of energy. So it's good to announce
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: that now. but there won't be any trickle-down benefits until
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: a long, long time in the future.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: And I will say experts are torn on this. Many
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: are saying no. Many agree with you. There are some
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: that say because of what is happening in the Straits
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: of Hormuz right now, and by the way, we just
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: cleared all the mines. That was a major announcement by
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: the Pentagon that they have got every single one of
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: the mines out of there, and they hope that the
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: insurance companies will now let tanker tankers that are sitting
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: there in the Strait of Hormuz get through at this
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: point so the combination of that and this announcement and
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: remember we are already getting oil from Venezuela right now
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: and so I think the meeting with the oil industry
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: is can we can we accelerate that can we get
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: more out of there how fast can we get this
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: I'm sure Donald Trump's going to be putting the pressure on. But,
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: you know, there's no sense in arguing about it because
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: we're going to find out in the next couple of
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: months if the oil prices come down. If the oil
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: prices come down, it's good for everybody. Oh, absolutely. Curtis,
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: if you're right on this, it's not good for everybody.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: So let's just hope for the best.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: The world is not running out of oil. It's running
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: out of refineries. You can't put oil in a truck.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: You can't put oil in a car or an airplane
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: or whatever. You can't fuel your boiler with just oil.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: It's got to be refined. Most of the diesel fuel
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: gets refined overseas. Most of the gasoline gets refined here.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: You would think at some point years and years ago
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: when they were first building the refineries. since we dominated
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: the trade of exploring and getting oil and then fracking,
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: that we would have built refineries that could do both.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: Could do both diesel, could do both gasoline and other
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: fuel products. But no, we dominate in refineries that create
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 2: the gasoline. And unfortunately, other countries dominate in the refineries
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 2: that produce diesel. That's why you see the boats going
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: back and forth. The biggest question Americans would ask is, hey,
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: we produce so much energy now.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: We're not only self-sufficient, we export energy.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: Why haven't we been the beneficiaries of lower prices?
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: And it's because it is a world market. It's all
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: based on that.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: And as we had a discussion beforehand, before we even
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: started the program, I was surprised to find out recently, Oklahoma,
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: which is like big.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: Before we get to the wind power, I know that's
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: where you're going with this, but you just said, Because
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: of the refineries, the price can't come down. Well, it
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: was down. It's already been down as low as $ 2. 79
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: nationally a gallon. And that was with the exact same refineries. Larry,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: wait a second. No, you said it was the refineries.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: It's four bucks. What, $ 2.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 5: 70?
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: Where? What state are you talking about? January, it was
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: $ 2. 79 was the average across the country. That's what the
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: average was across the country with the exact same refineries.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: Now we have more oil to put in those refineries.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: So I'm not sure what you're saying about how more oil,
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: it's not going to matter because the refineries. I know
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: we have a problem with refineries. But we've had gas
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: lower than $ 3 a gallon across the country. And down
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: to a little bit, it was like $ 3. 09 it was
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey. We didn't have a war in Iran then. No,
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: we don't. But we allegedly don't have a war in
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: Iran right now. Larry, there's a war going on. No,
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: but there was actually a tax last night. There was
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: a big tax last night. Larry, this is a war.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: But now we're going to have the oil, right? And so...
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: So the only thing that affected it was not the
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: war itself. It was the effect on the oil markets
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: and the tankers not getting through the Strait of Hormuz.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: If they get through the Strait of Hormuz and now
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: we have all this extra oil, 65 billion gallons of
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: it coming to us. Of course that's going to make
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: a difference. Of course it's going to lower the prices.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: That's the case. Exactly. Not in time for the midterm election. Well,
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: we'll see. We will see because I've heard this a
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: million times, and then I watch gas prices go down.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: They were down in the mid-threes just about a month ago.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: So I've watched everybody say, well, no, it's never going
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: to happen, never going to happen, and then it drops.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 29: Larry, let's look at the three biggest oil producers. Okay, Russia, Iran, Venezuela.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 29: There are lines to get gasoline in all three countries
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 29: for different reasons.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: Different reasons.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 2: Russia because Ukrainians are bombing their refineries, bombing their reserves.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: Iran because we bombed their refineries, we bombed their reserves.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: And Venezuela because they don't have the refineries to turn
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: all of their oil into into the subsidized gasoline that
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: they used to live on. All three of those countries
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: subsidized their gasoline and their other fuel products.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: There's no way you can turn that around in two months. Well, see,
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: I've been told this. I'm telling you, I keep hearing
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: this and then it happened. So I think it's a
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: lot of times I think that there are people in
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: the media who That it's wishful thinking. Oh, not going
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: to work. Oh, I don't care what's going to happen.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: And then it happens. So, you know, it's not even
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: worth arguing about it because we're going to find out
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: in a month or two months.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: But the president himself has said expect there to be
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: higher gasoline prices. It's a price the consumer should be
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: willing to pay in order to deprive Iran of a
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: nuclear weapon.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: Not in his latest post he was. And he was
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: very excited about this and the fact that the gas
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: prices may come down. He said that himself. So let's
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: just wait and see. We'll wait. It'll be easy to
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: see who's right and who's wrong in a month or
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: two months.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 2: A few months ago, we said that Cuba will collapse
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 2: because they have no oil whatsoever, which is true.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, so what does that mean? All right, fine.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: What happened?
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: What does that have to do with anything?
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: I thought they were going to collapse. I thought they
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 2: were going to put their hands up. They were going
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: to wave the white flag.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: You want to do another topic? No, I'm just asking you.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: If you're going to listen to this president on everything,
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: you're going to end up with vertical. No, I have
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: seen it happen. I have seen the prices come down.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: You were saying there's no way they could come down.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: I've seen it happen. And so, yes, no, I don't
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: buy that. I think that an influx of oil is
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: going to bring down prices. But we'll see.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 10: When we come back.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, we haven't talked about the U.S. Open yet and
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: all the money it's going to bring to the state. Plus,
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: you've got a chance to see air supply next.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: You know, Larry, Natalie, I hate, I loathe, I despise tennis.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: But many, many years ago, the mayor was David Dinkins.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: He would dress up intentionally.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 5: Whites.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: And I had to go to the U.S. Open with
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: him in Flushing Meadow.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: Park because they had lost a wager, a bet, when
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: I lost playing basketball against his aide-de-camp, Arnie Segarra, on
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: the hardwood at Madison Square Garden.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: So I had to go with him.
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 2: And he said to me, do you understand how much
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: income this generates for the city? He said more than
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 2: every concert in Madison Square Garden combined, more than the
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: Yankees and Met Home Games, more than the Rockettes at
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: Radio City Music Hall, more than any other event because
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 2: it's generally high-end people who come in. That's why he
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: stopped the planes from flying over Flushing Meadow Park and
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: When the U.S. Open takes place for over two weeks,
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 2: there are no planes that can fly over from LaGuardia. Yet,
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: when Chris goes to Citi Field, the planes fly over
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: going to LaGuardia. And Rudy made that an issue, but
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: it turned out that Dinkins was correct. When I've been
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: walking around the city the last week, because there have
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: been a lot of pre-activities to the U.S.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 8: Open.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: I know there's a lot of people in the city.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 2: They're different than those who came in for World Cup.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: They tend to look like they're higher end. They're staying
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: at the higher end hotels. They're not coming with busloads
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 2: of people. They're coming pretty much by themselves as families.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: $ 38 for a slice of quiche that you have to
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 2: put under an electron microscope.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: As much as I hate, I loathe it. This is
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: the second day of the U.S. Open.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: It generates more money than any other event in New
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: York City.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 4: I'm still getting over the fact that your punishment was
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 4: that you had to.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 14: Go to the U.S.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: Open.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 4: People are dying for tickets to go to the U.S.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: Open.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 4: I'd love to go to the U.S. Open, and that
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 4: was your punishment?
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: I'll bet you would. You'd have to take a reverse
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: mortgage in a payday.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 24: I would.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 19: That's why I'm not there.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: I hate it, but I understand how important it is
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: to the finances of the city.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: Now let's get some talkbacks. We got a lot of them.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 7: Natalie, did they.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 2: Give you a yellow flag and a whistle to blow?
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 17: And what these two old married couples.
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: Go at it like that, just now what I heard.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 18: So you can blow the whistle, throw the flag, and
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 18: the one in a timeout or something like that.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 26: Timeout.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: They need to get that for you.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 17: You guys have an amazing Monday.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: Stay safe. Oh, thank you. I'm going to get the whistle.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 4: I'm bringing a whistle in tomorrow.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: It's exactly the opposite. You shut down when we start.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: We don't even hear from you.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 4: I let you guys play it out. I mean, because
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 4: that's what this is about. Everybody has their opinion. Because
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 4: believe me, there's somebody in their car yelling also. So
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 4: it's nice for somebody to have somebody on their side.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: Yep. Let's talk about a lot of people wanted to
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: talk about Lindsay Clancy.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 30: Larry, I'm with you. She's 100% guilty. The only thing
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 30: I disagree with is she doesn't deserve to die. Death
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 30: is too good for her. She should just rot in jail.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and think about what she did.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 9: You're not on the jury of my piece. Now, from
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 9: my understanding, when I tune in in the morning, I
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 9: hear Larry Bente here on the radio. So obviously you
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 9: cannot have been in the courtroom. Now, again, I lean
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 9: towards this woman being guilty, but I was not there.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 9: So I will not say for certain you should not either.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: What do you mean? You're not allowed to have an
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: opinion on something unless you're physically there. That's kind of silly. Yes,
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: I haven't been in the courtroom, but I've every single
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: day heard the reports of what happened. And I think
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: that's enough to form an opinion. And by the way,
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: I don't need anything from the courtroom to know that
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: a woman that strangled her three children should be put
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: away forever.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 10: We need mental institutions. That is without a doubt. I'm
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 10: with on Larry's side. I am with the guy who
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 10: called before and said that she should be kept alive
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 10: so she couldn't suffer the death of her children for
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 10: the rest of her life. That's where I stand because
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 10: what are you going to do?
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 2: But when they say mental health institutions, just on New
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: York's part, only about 30% occupy those that still exist
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 2: that haven't been bulldozed under. I mean, for a while
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 2: they were very dystopian. But there's plenty of space. The
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: state just won't spend the required money in order to
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 2: house them and care for them and make sure that
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 2: they get their meds and make sure, more importantly, that
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: while they're in their care, they're taking their meds.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: Lindsey Clancy was the top talkback topic today, but over
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, it's been data centers. Come on, guys.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: These are smart guys. These data centers are all for surveillance.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: Now let's get right to Daria Albinger with the 8.30 news. Daria.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 16: Morning, Larry. Mostly cloudy and muggy today. There's a few
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 16: showers possible and a high of 79 degrees. Well, it's
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 16: been more than six months since the war in Iran began.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 16: And there are some new questions about how prepared U.S.

  Speaker 16: troops may be to handle their duties.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 27: The Washington Post is reporting that several top military leaders
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 27: have warned. Defense Secretary Pete Hague said that prolonging large-scale
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 27: operations against Iran is unsustainable and could risk the ability
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 27: to confront threats elsewhere. As this war continues, the president,
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 27: we know, is keeping all options on the table. And
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 27: that means that tens of thousands of troops are being
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 27: kept on alert.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 16: ABC's Mary Bruce. Jesus Acosta is being held without bail
• 1:34:35

• 1:34:38
  Speaker 16: killing a fast food worker in Brooklyn and then a
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 16: customer at a bodega in the Bronx a few days later,
• 1:34:44

• 1:34:47
  Speaker 16: a 911 tip arrested Acosta in the Bronx on Saturday morning.

• 1:34:58
  Speaker 25: to keep an eye out for a fox that could
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 25: be infected with rabies. A visitor was reportedly bitten on Friday,
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 25: and now the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 25: is looking for the fox. Anyone who spots any foxes
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 25: is being asked to call the DEC with details. Authorities
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 25: are also warning against any contact with wild animals in
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 25: the area out of precaution. No word on the condition
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 25: of the person who was bitten or whether they tested
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 25: positive for rabies. I'm Lizzie Radabali, WOR News.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 16: More than 27,000 packages of white rice are being recalled

• 1:36:31

• 1:38:14
  Speaker 2: So, Larry, once a month, the police commissioner, Jessica Tisch,
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 2: gets together with Mayor Zoran Mondami and they look at
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 2: the stats and they dance the horror and the tarantella. Oh,
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 2: crime is down. It's wonderful. What a wonderful life to live. Meantime,
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 2: assaults in the subway have skyrocketed. They're up 10 percent.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 2: Robberies are up 6 percent. And there's one particular case
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 2: I'd like to focus on because we've had a series
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 2: of passengers who get pushed into the tracks. It's a
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 2: station that Crash himself went to many times that I've
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 2: been to many times. In fact, it was at 145
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 2: in the afternoon on Thursday at the Morris Park West
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 2: Farm's 180th Street elevated station that a woman named Lydia Zunica,
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: age 65, was taking the train as she does five
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 2: days a week to her job at NYU. And there
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 2: was a guy who came up behind her. pushed her
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 2: into the tracks as a train was starting to enter
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: the station. Luckily, the motorman spotted her. A good Samaritan
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 2: named Malik jumped down to make sure she didn't slip
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: through the cracks there because in an elevated station, you
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 2: could conceivably fall right to the street below. And she
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 2: was taken to St. Barnabas where she has... a broken
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 2: leg in three different places. The guy who did it
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: just walked away, turned himself into a psychiatric ward the
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 2: next day for his medication, and he said, hey, by
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 2: the way, I'm the guy who pushed that woman into
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 2: the tracks, and they came to arrest him. What was
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 2: so interesting about this case, because there have been so
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: many of late, is this woman was not going to
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 2: stay quiet.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: From her hospital bed at St.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: Barnabas, she said he should go to jail for attempted murder,
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 2: not to a psych ward where all of a sudden
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 2: they're going to release him and put him on meds.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: No, it's a crime. I'm 65. Nothing like this has
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: ever happened to me in New York City. All of
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: a sudden I have to change my life because of
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: some fool that thinks they're sick and I'm angry. Hey, Mr.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 2: Mayor, why don't you come see me? If the mayor
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 2: has enough guts, then he'd come to see me. I'll
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 2: tell him the subways are not safe. You better do
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: something about it. She's absolutely right. And I would hope
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 2: that if the mayor were to ever take her up
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 2: on that offer, he should. He generally does not do
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 2: these kind of things. He should have with him Jessica Tisch,
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 2: the police commissioner, who always When she gets confronted by
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 2: these major violent crimes in the subway, it's a perception.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: Look at the analytics.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 2: It's a perception. It's not a perception. I'll give you
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 2: an example. Last month, an ex-con on parole shoves a
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 2: 70-year-old woman on the tracks, 57th and 7th. That's within
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 2: walking distance of where we're broadcasting from. Luckily, good Samaritans
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 2: went in and pulled her out, or she would have.
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: Been run over. And then, irony of ironies, a man.
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 2: Who survived a brutal subway attack in New York City
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 2: nearly a year ago while with his wife, they were
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 2: on the platform of 59th Street in Lexington, a heavily
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 2: trafficked platform.
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 1: The sixth train is there. He was attacked.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 2: And had his jaw broken, and he decided, okay, I'm
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 2: not going to let that prevent me from ever using
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 2: the subway again, right?
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: So he uses the subway, as most people do.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 2: And this particular time, just within hours ago, he's thrown
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 2: into the tracks over at Hillside Avenue and Parsons Boulevard,
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 2: the F train, 1230 p.m.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: Friday night. He's a musician.
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 2: He was coming from a recording session yesterday.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: He has a fractured skull. He's on a ventilator. His
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: name's 67 years old, David Williams. And still, the MTA
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: and the transit police will not acknowledge that he got
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: pushed into the tracks. Now, I'm saying to myself, well,
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: how do you think he got into the tracks?
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: Guys, you have these stations wired up like a Christmas
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 2: tree from the time you leave, you enter, you're at
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 2: the turnstiles down on the platform.
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 1: You've got video. This guy twice within a year, and yet.
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 2: The police commissioner and the mayor will act like, oh, no, no, no,
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 2: the analytics are that crime is down. And the reason
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 2: for this, Larry, is that they let these emotionally disturbed
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 2: persons live in the subways, roaming in and out. They
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 2: don't take them and then commit them for psychiatric care,
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 2: which would be the humane thing to do. And I
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 2: can tell all of our listeners out there, as you know,
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 2: the amount of time I spend every day in the subways.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, I go mashug. But imagine if you had
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 2: to spend one whole day in the subway. That was
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 2: your assignment, Larry. Where would you find a bathroom? Where
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 2: would you find food to eat? Now, whatever psychosis you
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 2: have becomes embellished that much more and you start hearing voices.
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, maybe you're seen and normal
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: most of the time. But now you react and you
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: do things that we would say, how could you possibly
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 1: do that? Yeah, I get it. I get it. And
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: it's almost all there's statistics on this, you know. This year,
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 1: how many people do you think have been shoved on
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 1: the subway tracks in New York this year? What would
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: you guess? I would guess probably nine. Twelve. Wow, wow.
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 1: Twelve this year. Plus three. In last year, there were
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: over 20. In 2024, there were 26. So these aren't
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: just isolated incidents. This is an epidemic of this happening.
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: There was historical data on this. This has been studied.
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: And this is a study that went from 1975 to 1991,
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: talking to 49 distinct incidents involving 52 victims. And in
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: every single one of these cases, it was a mentally
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 1: ill person that did it.
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, sure.
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: Of course. But I mean, 100%. So when you have
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: statistics showing you, you have a problem in this and
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: it's 100%, there's not one aberration to the statistic. Then
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: don't you do something about it? Of course.
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 2: And every one of these mayors, first Ablazio, smoking is Maui, Waui, Hindu, Kush,
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 2: then Adams, party into the break of dawn. Now Mondami
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 2: never goes in the subways. So we're going to have
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 2: mental health professionals patrol with the police.
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 1: Never happened.
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 2: Jessica Tisch, remember, didn't fight for the extra 500 cops.
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 2: Julie Mennon didn't fight for the extra 500 cops. We
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 2: can deal with it.
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: No, you can't. No, you can't.
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 2: We need every additional police officer we can to get
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 2: them in the subways. And you know what's going to happen, Larry,
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 2: like the last time when Zeldin was running against Hochul
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 2: and gaining traction. There was a tremendous increase in crime
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 2: in the subway. She flooded the subway by giving Eric
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 2: Adams money to send additional police officers in the subway
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 2: for overtime before the midterm elections.
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 1: Watch how she does that again. Yeah, and the reason
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: they don't want to deal with this is because of
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 1: the mentally ill are involved. And our hands off when
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 1: it comes to somebody that's mentally ill is pervasive across
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 1: the country. It's not just here. Well, actually, I should
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 1: say in almost every Democratic state. This would not happen
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: in Texas. This would not happen in Florida. So things
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: have to change. But you know what the problem is?
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's you. Vote accordingly. If you want safety in
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: the subways, vote that way.
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 2: Well, for right now, this woman, this victim, Lydia Zunica,
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 2: has said, where are you, Mayor Mondami? Come talk to
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 2: me in St.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: Barnabas.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 2: And I would suggest that Jessica Tisch go along and
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 2: listen to her and understand that how prevalent this problem is.
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: I don't think they care. I mean, there's been studies
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 1: on it, as I said. It's extremely prevalent. Hey, by
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: the way, if you haven't seen this article on Curtis,
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: he's the star of it. It's about the show, and
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: he said some kind things, which I really appreciate. Go
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: online and look up Barrett Media, B-A-R-R-E-T-T Media, and look
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: at the great article on Curtis and the show. And
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 1: we're going to talk about it more coming up next.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 1: So you have some homework for the next five minutes.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 1: Thank you for that, Larry.
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 2: I exchanged the thank you because you had that great
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 2: article recently in Barrett Media about your own contribution to
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 2: this great morning show. Meantime, there is a nurse on
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 2: Long Island. She's 33. She sold an old iPhone on
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 2: Facebook Marketplace. Just one listing. That was it. The guy
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 2: who answered it was a total stranger from New Jersey.
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 2: Over the next three years, he found her phone number.
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 2: Then he found her parents' home address. Then he showed up.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 2: He kept threatening her. He sent unwanted packages. There were
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 2: late-night visits to her house. A complete catastrophe. She did
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 2: everything right, and she still couldn't get him off her doorstep.
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 2: And she and her family and friends said, how the
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 2: hell did he get all this personal information?
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 1: You know where he got it?
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 2: He got it because there are data brokers and people
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 2: search sites.
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 1: Who bundle it up and sell it. And you got
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 1: to put up your own firewall like I've done with Incogni.
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 1: Get a pen and a pen.
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 2: And write it down and share it with your friends
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 2: and relatives who are probably being bombarded themselves with these
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 2: unwanted texts and phone calls and the personal information that
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 2: has fallen into the wrong hands.
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 1: What they'll do is they'll delete.
• 1:48:20

• 1:48:22
  Speaker 2: checking on it.
• 1:48:23

• 1:48:55
  Speaker 2: You know, Larry, out of the many subjects that people
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 2: can talk about on this thing of ours, talk radio, podcasts,
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 2: other means of communication, people are now reaching out and
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 2: giving us credit because we devote a really good amount
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 2: of time to the artificial intelligence data filing centers. And
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 2: we present both points of view. The flock cameras, as
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 2: we did earlier today, both points of view. The danger
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 2: of social media when used by kids, both points of view.
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 1: You really don't hear that in talk radio.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 2: Talk radio tends to be an echo chamber of whatever
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 2: it is that was said that affects world.
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 1: Or international issues.
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 2: And these are issues that affect everybody, regardless of their politics.
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 2: So a lot of people coming around and listening to
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 2: us in the mornings. because of that reason, and also
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 2: getting sometimes two points of view. We disagree, sometimes we agree,
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 2: but we bring up subjects that ordinary people talk about,
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 2: and you just don't hear it talked about all that
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 2: much on talk radio. Now, there is another form that's
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 2: old school. Everybody has a podcast now, podcast. My dentist
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 2: has a podcast. My plumber has a podcast. Everybody, oh,
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 2: you got to listen to my podcast. But the old
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 2: form entertainment show, like a Johnny Carson show, where you
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 2: go back and forth, you go back and forth, and
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 2: you get a lot of belly laughs. There's a guy
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 2: who's reinvigorated that. He's a young guy, Adam Friedland. Very
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 2: famous out there. I would say if you had him,
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 2: you compare him to like a younger version of Woody
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 2: Allen without the pedophilic touch to him, you know.
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 1: He's nebbishy, he's schlubby, but he's fast, he's good. I
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 1: appeared with him, it seemed like three, four months ago.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 2: And he did this two-hour show, and he just posted it,
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 2: him and his staff, and he chops it up. And
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 2: let me just give you a little slice so you.
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 1: Can hear, as we're talking about an issue that Natalie
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 1: found disturbing, the fact that 75% of the olive oil
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: around the world is Fugazi, is fake. An import-export, right?
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 1: Olive oil. I'm just saying it's like a... You know
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 1: how much of the olive oil is fake Fugazi olive
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 1: oil now in the world? I'm not saying it's the
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 1: same crime.
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 9: 75%!
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 1: I know that. That pisses me off to know it.
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: What happened to the real olive oil? You people grow
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 1: it in the Middle East and you fight with the
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 1: Palestinians over the olive trees. Not me people, my friend.
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 1: Poor guy. Poor guy.
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 2: I always bring it back to the Middle East with
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 2: this guy.
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 1: And his plummet.
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 2: But if you want to know what this is like,
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 2: at the very beginning, it's a two-hour show. I say
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 2: this is sort of the recreation of one of the
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 2: greatest movies I've ever seen. And I'm sure some of
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 2: you people have seen. Never got the attention and recognition
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 2: it should have. The King of Comedy.
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 1: When De Niro kidnaps Jerry Lewis and basically kidnaps the show.
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 2: And that's exactly what I did for two hours. Basically
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 2: take over the show. You could tell from that clip,
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 2: you're taking over the show. My God, poor guy was
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 2: trying to talk on his own show.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 12: Larry, no joke.
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 4: My daughter this weekend and her feet is filled with
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 4: Harry Styles. Like Curtis doesn't pop up on her.
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 2: Feet too often.
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 4: Turns the phone to me, goes, did you see this?
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 16: And it was you.
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 4: And him, but it was the part when you were talking,
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 4: I don't know, you were talking about his mother, and
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 4: I guess his mother had passed, and then you got
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 4: very upset.
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 1: So.
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then he wanted to hug me, and I said, no, no, no.
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 4: Yes!
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not that upset. Yeah, I heard that. I was
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 1: all over my Instagram. You can go to Instagram and
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 1: see it yourself. Well, we talked earlier about the aging
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 1: subway system in the city and where all the congestion
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 1: pricing money is going. The talkback of the morning and
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 1: winner of the Curtis Sliwa and Larry Mendte in the
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 1: morning T-shirt had a great suggestion.
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 20: Nick Shirley should be doing the auditing on the MTA, Larry.
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: That's tremendous. Nick Shirley, of course, is the guy that
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: uncovered fraud in Minneapolis, and that has led to investigations
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 1: across the country. He is an independent journalist, and yes, yes,
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: that congestion pricing would be right up his alley. And remember,
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: the Talkback of the Week will win a C-Crane radio
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 1: for the listener who demands better C-Crane radios with legendary reception.
