Hour 3: Big day coming up for the TCS marathon · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, one little joke about a cheesecake factory,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: and wow, that is an avalanche of reaction, not only
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: from the president. The president obviously reacted to it. We
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: played that for you yesterday. But Scott Besson went to
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: a cheesecake factory and talked about how wonderful it is,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: as if President Obama was putting down cheesecake factories. And
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: then he had to come out and say, no, I
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: go there all the time. I love cheesecake factories. But
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: then he was up speaking last night, and he brought
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: it up again. I will tell you this. For somebody
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: that says that Donald Trump is obsessed with the Cheesecake
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Factories and won't stop talking about it after he brought
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: it up first, he talked about.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: It last night.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about Barack Obama for months. A few minutes,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: like five minutes out of his speech.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: I accused this administration based on the facts that they
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: were engaging in unprecedented levels of corruption.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: They didn't say anything about that. The president wasn't even
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: mad about the Saddam Hussein comparison.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: That part didn't bother him. But he was very upset.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: about the Cheesecake Factory comments. He took great umbrage.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: That went on and on and on.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: He said, I didn't understand the work of the artisans
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: in the White House. And they mobilized... This was... I mean,
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: it's all crazy, but this was the really crazy part.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: They mobilized... a whole of government response to that joke.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Not to inflation, but to that joke.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Now, I will say this about what Obama was doing
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: last night. He talked about, and he was ripping, and
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: he was good. He's always good on the stump. But
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: he was ripping the Obama administration for talking about the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Cheesecake Factory and the joke so much. He talked about
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: it ad nauseum. He must have talked about it way
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: more than the Trump administration talked about it.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: And again, it shows you why they are the superstars
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: of their party. They can command attention. They entertain. The
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: audience is wrapped. Obama never talks as long as Trump.
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: You know, he's about half as long as Trump. But
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: they are the best orators. They are the best deliverers.
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: And you know they are like two scorpions in a
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: brandy glass. If Trump says something, Obama will respond. And likewise.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: And they've taken it to the campaign. But the first
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: part of that comment was really what Ossoff has been saying.
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: So he wasn't there for John Ossoff, who's running against Collins.
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: Collins is having a tough time, the Republican challenger. But
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: Ossoff is banging away saying corruption in the White House,
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: corruption with the Trump, the Trump family.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: We'll see if that becomes the number one issue. It
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: probably isn't.
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: But I know why Barack Obama was in Georgia. He
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: didn't need to be in Georgia.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Ossoff is well ahead.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: So if you're going to use your superstar, you put
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: him in these states where it's neck and neck for
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: the Senate.
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: Nope.
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: It actually had to do with the governor's race. Remember,
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: there was Stacey Abrams. Remember how Stacey Abrams lost, again,
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: a very close election for governor, but would not would
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: not exceed, would not say, no, no, no, I lost, remember?
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: And she delayed, delayed, delayed, delayed. She was the darling
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: of the Democratic Party. Stacey Abrams was going to become
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: the first African-American governor female in the United States.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: But she failed.
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: So the one who won this time unexpectedly in a
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: very heated Democratic primary was the former mayor of Atlanta.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Keisha Lance Bottoms.
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: Now, she was there during George Floyd, the lockdown and pandemic.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: She did a horrible job.
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: In fact, the big anger against her, including from Democrats,
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: you left office.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: You ran one term. You said, I've had it. You
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: were crying at the podium.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: You know, one thing in politics, it's like, remember Tom
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: Hanks said in the movie, There's no crying in baseball,
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: you know, to that movie that was starring the female
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: softball players. You don't cry in politics. So she had
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: almost like a breakdown. She left politics. She came back.
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: So he's trying to buff up her campaign against a
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: really good candidate for governor who's a Republican. He's a billionaire,
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: really good story, self-made. He's had some problems along the way.
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: But actually, if they had reversed, let's say Collins had
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: run for governor and this guy who was Rick Jackson
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: had run for Senate, it would have been a much
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: closer race for the U.S.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: Senate.
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: But right now, there's a very good chance Rick Jackson,
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: the Republican, becomes the governor while John Ossoff, the Democrat,
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: gets reelected to the Senate. which is typically what happens
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: for some strange reason in Georgia. They'll elect senators from
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: one party, and then the governor always is from the
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: other party because it's really a purple state now. That's
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: what I was just about to say.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Much to the chagrin of the Republican Party, Georgia now
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: is probably officially a purple state, although it's reddish purple.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, most of the people that win there are
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: still Republicans, but they just lost two Senate seats to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the Democrats today. That was because of awful candidates. Herschel
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Walker was running, and Herschel Walker just kept stepping into
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: it every single time he opened his mouth.
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: I got to tell you, Larry, not only was he
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: a flawed candidate, all the problems he had with his
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: domestic relationships, but at the very end of the campaign,
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: and remember, it was against him, and I call him Warlock.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Remember the reverend from Atlanta?
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Warnock.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Right, but I call him Warlock. He tells a story.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: You know what I was doing last night?
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: And he had big audiences because Herschel, you know, with
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: football is God in Georgia and in northern Florida.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I watch horror movies.
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: And then he went on to describe the horror movie
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: for like 38 minutes. That was a really good story
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: about the horror movie. But now you know why he's
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: the ambassador to the Bahamas. Yeah, we don't hear a
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: lot about it. He's just enjoying the Bahamas. Listen, that
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: is not really... a purple state.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: It is going back and forth recently, but if you
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: get outside of Atlanta, and this is the story in
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of the states that are, that are purple
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: or turning purple, much like Georgia is, we'll see what
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: happens in future elections, but certainly in the last few elections,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: it looks like it's turning purple. The registration is still
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Republican and almost all of the Democrats are in Atlanta.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: But that's state after state after state.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: It seems to be that the urban areas are always Democrat,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: but when you get out to the rural areas, they're Republican.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, I could reel off seven states where that
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: is the case. New York State, I mean, if it
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: wasn't for New York City, it's probably leaning Republican.
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: It's a red state, if not for New York City
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: and also for Erie County, Buffalo. It is a red state.
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: You just look at the voting tallies. But the interesting
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: thing is when I was running for mayor, I would
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: do these national interviews and I would I would say
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: to the people south of the Mason-Dixon line, you want
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: me to win because you want me to keep all
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: the New Yorkers here from flooding down to where you
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: are because you are proud red states.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: But with all these New Yorkers fleeing. You're going to
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: turn purple.
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: That's some of the arguments about what's happening in Texas,
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: what's happening in Tennessee, what's happening in Georgia, what's happening
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: in South Carolina. So many New Yorkers, people from Jersey,
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: people from Connecticut, people from parts of Pennsylvania are flooding
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: down there. And many of them are lifelong Democrats, and
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: they vote Democrat till the day they die because they say...
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: I don't want to offend mommy and daddy who are
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: in heaven because they were Democrats. They said only vote
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: Democrats and I'm going to vote Democrat, even though my
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: neighbors here always seem to be voting Republican.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I heard from a lot of Democrats saying, look
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen in Florida.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Look at Florida.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Florida is turning purple. Florida is going to be blue
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: because of so many people that went down there. It
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: looks like in the end, the Republicans are going to
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: sweep the board and they keep adding more poll numbers
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: to it. I think there was a discontent early on,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: but then people come home to roost. And I think
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: that's going to be happening in a lot of these states.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: States that looked like they may be going Democrat, people
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: just come back to where they'll start to go, well,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: maybe not. I don't like this guy. They like the
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: idea of sending a message to the Republican Party. And
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about Republicans. They like the idea of saying,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not happy with what's going on right now. And
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: then they learn more about the Democratic candidate. And then
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: they finally, when they get to the voting booth, go,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: you know what? I may not like what's going on
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: right now, but it's better than the other guy. And
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I think you see that happening in Michigan right now.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I think you see that happening in Maine. They're going
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: to hope that it happens in Texas. We're going to
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: see in that one, but certainly in Alaska, too. So
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: that's why I think the Republicans are going to end
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: up winning the Senate.
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: Well, today is showdown in South Carolina. The president's candidate,
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: Darlene Graham, not doing that well. It's neck and neck
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: in the polls there. He never expected that. So we'll
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: be able to play back for all of you tomorrow
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: exactly what President Donald J. Trump had to say in
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: reference to Darlene. Because that is a race where you
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: have some disgruntled Republicans. And again, the good thing about
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: all this, all the close races, regardless of who you
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: support and what the polls say, is that it's bringing
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: people out to vote in unprecedented numbers. Because if they're
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: watching locally, regionally, in many instances, nationally. They see that
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: the whole country is energized. And that's good for democracy.
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: I don't hear a lot of people saying, I'm not
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: going to vote.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: My vote's not going to make a difference. When you
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: see all these polls neck and neck, you start to say.
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: Well, maybe that old fashioned idea that my vote ain't
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: going to make a difference might actually make a difference.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: It's really fascinating the fact that there is an increase
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: in midterm voting, at least so far.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: You know, that may not play out.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: It may be that a lot more people are just
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: voting early and it might be, again, 50 percent or
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: below 50 percent. But if it goes up to 60%
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: or if it goes up, and my God, if it
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: went up higher than 60% in the midterm, it would
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: set a record. If it goes up to like 60%,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: you have to wonder who was energized the most. You
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: have to wonder if it's the MAGA crowd getting out
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: there or you have to wonder if it's Democrats that
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: are so upset and are being told, if you're that upset,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: you got to get to the polls and show it.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: We're going to see, we will see on election night. Um,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: but man, this is one, forget Republican and Democrat for
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: a second. This is a fascinating election.
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: Well, I tell you this much, uh, another series of
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: close elections in Wisconsin and every one of those candidates
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: is wearing a Milwaukee Brewer throwback Jersey today as they
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: won the world series. We'll break that down for you
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: up next as, uh, It's their first World Series. This
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: doesn't include the old Milwaukee Braves or the National League.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are hearing for the
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: first time there was a World Series. It got so
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: bad ratings and so few people because it was small
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: market teams, and that's a shame. Plus, you got a
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: chance to see comedian John Mulaney coming up next. Well,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball went out with a whimper with two
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: small market teams playing, low ratings. And two teams that
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: most of the games weren't in contention, so they weren't
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: even exciting games. And it ended just as dull as
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the series was.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: Swing and a ground ball. This ought to do it.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: Right side. Terang to Bowers. And for the first time ever,
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: Milwaukee fans can say it. The Brewers are World Series
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: champions as they celebrate to the right of the pitcher's mound,
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: jumping up and down in a pile. The Brewers have
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: won it all.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: That's great for the Milwaukee Brewers, but I will tell
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: you that this, that may be the last game in
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: a long time. And for that to be the exclamation point,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: maybe a comma, on the end of the season, when
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: they're probably going to have a lockout starting December 1st,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: and there may not be a season at all next
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: year because of labor negotiations, it's a shame for Major
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: League Baseball. Although it really does hurt the owner's argument
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: that the salary cap makes it so there's more competition
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: among all the teams. Because you had two teams in
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the World Series with one of the lowest salaries in
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. Both of them were near the bottom
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: of the list. So when you hold up the Los
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Angeles Dodgers and the amount of money they spend and say, look,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: we can't have that, well, they didn't get to the
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: World Series. So it's going to be fascinating, but what's
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: going to happen is there may not be a season
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: next year.
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: Well, if you just observe the way Milwaukee plays the game,
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: they execute it on all the fundamentals. Unfortunately, Tampa Bay,
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: which had during the season, just fell apart. But one thing,
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: there are a thousand bars in Milwaukee, more per capita
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: than anywhere in the world.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: And they were.
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: Hoisting their old Milwaukee's and their Miller Lights and their
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: PBRs till the break of dawn. But, you know, when
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: they say it's the first 56 years in the brewing,
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: that's the American League. See, the National League, they used
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: to have the Atlanta, excuse me, the Milwaukee Braves, which
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: went on to become the Atlanta Braves. take on the
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: New York Yankees in the 50s. Those were great World Series.
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: Warren Spahn, Whitey Ford, Mickey Mantle, Eddie Matthews, Hank Aaron.
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: Those were really great World Series. So part of that
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: is true, but they've experienced World Series before.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there have been some bad World Series, but the
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: fact that they're going to be going into some contract
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: negotiations that may end the season... You wanted something more
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: exciting at the end. They went out with a whimper.
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: But, you know, they were all ripoffs, the owners and
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: the players. It's all about them, not about the fans.
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: Not about the fans at all.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Well, I will tell you this. I think the NFL
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: does it really well. They should do what the NFL does.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: You know, this is the salary cap.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: You got to make it. If you can't, you got
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: to trade some players. Let's get some talkbacks. We've been
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: talking about hot dogs all morning.
• 15:16
  Speaker 8: Speaking of hot dogs, the best hot dogs today, and
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: they've been around a long time, Jimmy Buffs and West Orange.
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: Italian hot dog, the pizza bread with onions and peppers
• 15:26
  Speaker 8: and potatoes. Nothing could beat it.
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: Have a great day, guys.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I love that people have their own favorite hot dog place.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Who would have known?
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: And this brought out the quiet storm, Chris. He is
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: a hot dog aficionado. Our news gal, a hot dog aficionado.
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: You thought I was the hot dog aficionado here because
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: I've competed in dirty water hot dog eating contests.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Not at all. I couldn't touch this stuff today.
• 15:52
  Speaker 9: I love that the founder of the marathon, the way
• 15:55
  Speaker 9: he was talking about it. I've run a bunch of marathons.
• 15:57
  Speaker 9: I've run New York City four times. At first, it
• 15:59
  Speaker 9: was all about time and have to get through it.
• 16:02
  Speaker 9: But then I started realizing I wasn't appreciating the marathon.
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: And when I slowed down.
• 16:06
  Speaker 9: Just to Take it all in. It's an incredible experience.
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: Every borough is different.
• 16:11
  Speaker 9: The people enjoy it. You're not breaking any records. So
• 16:15
  Speaker 9: enjoy them.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's wonderful. I hope to see you at the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: finish line, although it sounds like I might be gone
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: from the finish line long before you get there because
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: we stick around. We're there all morning for some of
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: the pro races and the wheelchair races.
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: Regarding the story of the New York Times about the
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: candidate names in Alaska, I'd like to congratulate the New
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: York Times for committing a random act of journalism.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: A random act. You see, you can't even give full
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: credit where credit is due.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: Well, they have.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: They've had a bad record when it comes to Donald
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Trump and Republicans recently with.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: The Hunter Biden laptop.
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: But this article could save the Senate for the Republicans.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: So everybody says, oh, they lean Democrat. If that were
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: the case, why would they publish this story?
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you understand.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, they were awful with Russiagate. They should be
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: giving back their Pulitzer. Now let's get to Daria Albinger
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: with the 830. Sorry to make you wait.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: No worries.
• 17:16
  Speaker 9: Not at all.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: With the 830 News.
• 17:17
  Speaker 10: And you know, if you don't win the tickets, he's
• 17:19
  Speaker 10: on Saturday Night Live.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: In a few weeks.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, great.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: That's where he started.
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: There you go.
• 17:23
  Speaker 10: Sunny and warmer today with a high of 68 degrees.
• 17:27
  Speaker 10: A Brooklyn woman is due in court today where she's
• 17:29
  Speaker 10: expected to face upgraded federal hate crime charges connected to
• 17:33
  Speaker 10: syringe attacks on Jewish men in Manhattan.
• 17:35
  Speaker 11: Authorities allege Anna Makalova stabbed two men wearing Jewish attire
• 17:40
  Speaker 11: with a syringe needle and then asked a third man
• 17:42
  Speaker 11: if he was Jewish. When he responded he was Muslim,
• 17:45
  Speaker 11: she walked away. The stabbings allegedly happened last Wednesday in
• 17:49
  Speaker 11: the Diamond District. Makalova was previously hit with local assault
• 17:52
  Speaker 11: and other charges, but now faces two federal counts of
• 17:55
  Speaker 11: committing hate crimes. Each carry up to 10 years in prison.
• 17:59
  Speaker 11: I'm Scott Pringle, WORD News.
• 18:01
  Speaker 10: Five days to the midterms. President Trump will campaign today
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: in South Carolina, while former President Obama will be in
• 18:06
  Speaker 10: Georgia drumming up support for Democrats. Netflix wants to film
• 18:12
  Speaker 10: a show on the Jersey Shore, but it could affect
• 18:15
  Speaker 10: how late one town can decorate for the holidays.
• 18:18
  Speaker 12: Netflix is hoping to shoot some scenes in Lavalette for
• 18:21
  Speaker 12: an upcoming series called Trigger Point. Filming would happen along
• 18:25
  Speaker 12: Route 35 on December 7th and 8th, but production has
• 18:28
  Speaker 12: one caveat. It doesn't want any holiday lights hanging over
• 18:32
  Speaker 12: roadways or on the film route. That would mean decorations
• 18:35
  Speaker 12: won't be up in some parts of town in time
• 18:37
  Speaker 12: for the Christmas tree lighting on December 5th. Officials still
• 18:41
  Speaker 12: have to vote, but they're reassuring the community there would
• 18:43
  Speaker 12: be no decoration restrictions for businesses or residences.
• 18:50
  Speaker 10: And a new study confirms what we firstborns have known
• 18:54
  Speaker 10: all along. Mom and dad like the baby best. Researchers
• 18:58
  Speaker 10: at Brigham and Young University found youngest siblings get preferential treatment, yeah, really,
• 19:03
  Speaker 10: while older siblings get more autonomy and face stricter standards.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: Again, duh.
• 19:07
  Speaker 10: And if you're a youngest daughter, you hit the birth
• 19:09
  Speaker 10: order jackpot. The study finds parents show a slight favorability
• 19:13
  Speaker 10: for girls over boys. It's published in the American Psychological
• 19:16
  Speaker 10: Association's Psychological Bulletin. Knicks win, Devils lose, and Milwaukee wins
• 19:21
  Speaker 10: the World Series. Next news, 9 o'clock, bulletins at once.
• 19:24
  Speaker 10: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: Congratulations to Dave Rose in Mahwah, New Jersey. who just
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: won a pair of tickets to see comedian John Mulaney's
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: final stop on his nine-night, nine-venue Mulaney Takes Manhattan tour.
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: That's January 15th at Madison Square Garden. Another chance to
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: win tomorrow at 825. And up next, oh yeah, it's
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: more of the marathon news. And you're going to be
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: discussing Larry and I with the guy who organizes it all.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: So Curtis, as you know, it's a big year for
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: the TCS New York City Marathon as we celebrate the
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: 50th anniversary of the first Five Borough Marathon. So joining
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: us now is Rob Similcare. He is the CEO of
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: the New York City Roadrunners. He's been working around the clock.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: That's the organization, by the way, the Roadrunners behind the
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: TCS New York City Marathon. Hey, Rob, thanks for joining us.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: What does this milestone anniversary mean for the race, mean
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: for the city, and everyone who was a part of
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: the incredible history?
• 20:33
  Speaker 13: Thank you. It's great to be with you again. Thanks
• 20:35
  Speaker 13: for being with us. And We wanted to make a
• 20:38
  Speaker 13: really big deal of celebrating the 50th anniversary of the
• 20:42
  Speaker 13: Five Borough New York City Marathon. And it's been really great.
• 20:46
  Speaker 13: We've seen how people have embraced it because the city
• 20:50
  Speaker 13: loves it. It's the best day of the year in
• 20:53
  Speaker 13: New York City. The idea of a Five Borough Marathon,
• 20:56
  Speaker 13: it may seem obvious now, but back in 1975 and 76,
• 21:01
  Speaker 13: when they were kind of cooking this idea up and
• 21:04
  Speaker 13: trying to get the city to on board with it.
• 21:07
  Speaker 13: It was kind of a crazy idea. No city, no
• 21:10
  Speaker 13: big city had ever really done anything like this. Boston
• 21:14
  Speaker 13: had the Boston Marathon, for sure. But that's a little
• 21:17
  Speaker 13: bit of a different situation. The Boston Marathon starts out
• 21:20
  Speaker 13: way out of Boston, outside the city in the suburbs,
• 21:23
  Speaker 13: and gradually works its way in.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: But there had never.
• 21:27
  Speaker 13: Been a city the scale of New York that did
• 21:31
  Speaker 13: a street marathon like this. The marathon used to do
• 21:34
  Speaker 13: loops in Central Park in the years before it moved to.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: The five boroughs.
• 21:38
  Speaker 13: So we're celebrating the people who had the idea originally,
• 21:41
  Speaker 13: Ted Corbett, the original president of New York Roadrunners and
• 21:46
  Speaker 13: an Olympic marathoner himself. He was the first to really say,
• 21:50
  Speaker 13: what if we made this a five borough marathon? But
• 21:52
  Speaker 13: others thought it was crazy. Then you had Percy Sutton,
• 21:55
  Speaker 13: who was the Manhattan Borough President at the time. He
• 21:58
  Speaker 13: heard the idea and said, actually, I think we can
• 22:00
  Speaker 13: make this happen. And he had the political connections to
• 22:03
  Speaker 13: go to the mayor a beam at the time to
• 22:06
  Speaker 13: pitch this idea and may have been said you know
• 22:08
  Speaker 13: what I think we can do this at the time
• 22:11
  Speaker 13: Larry that the agreed to do it in 76 he
• 22:14
  Speaker 13: was gonna be a one-time thing to celebrate the bicentennial
• 22:18
  Speaker 13: the United States to this was it even meant to
• 22:20
  Speaker 13: be in every year thing but it turned out to
• 22:23
  Speaker 13: be so special that they did it again and again
• 22:25
  Speaker 13: and the other you know what we call the trailblazers
• 22:28
  Speaker 13: were George Spitz who kinda had the political connections George Hirsch,
• 22:32
  Speaker 13: who's still with us, the only one of the pioneers
• 22:35
  Speaker 13: of the trailblazers who's still with us, who helped get
• 22:39
  Speaker 13: the publicity and helped raise the money for it. And then,
• 22:42
  Speaker 13: of course, Fred LeBeau, who was the longtime race director
• 22:45
  Speaker 13: of this as well.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: And everybody knows about the marathon and how important it
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: is to not only the racing community, but to New
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: York City and how it's grown to be the biggest
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: of the marathons, a global event. But what people don't realize,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I think, or at least us in the media don't
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: talk about it enough, is how much money you've raised
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: because of your partners. And I understand this is the
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: 20th anniversary of the official charity partner program. So if
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: you can talk about how people can get involved in
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: that and also what it has meant to the marathon. Well,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: let's start with how much money you've raised. It's amazing.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: It's become a.
• 23:22
  Speaker 13: Huge part of the marathon every single year.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: And you're right.
• 23:26
  Speaker 13: This is the 20th anniversary of the TCS New York
• 23:29
  Speaker 13: City Marathon Charity Program. And we decided one of the
• 23:32
  Speaker 13: things we wanted to do to commemorate this anniversary was
• 23:35
  Speaker 13: to go really big when it comes to fundraising. And
• 23:38
  Speaker 13: so this year, for the first time ever, we set
• 23:42
  Speaker 13: a goal of raising $ 100 million for charities in this event.
• 23:47
  Speaker 13: We've got over 650 nonprofit organizations. a heavy focus on
• 23:52
  Speaker 13: New York-based charities, especially this year. And we're thrilled to
• 23:56
  Speaker 13: be able to report that we're hitting that goal. We
• 23:59
  Speaker 13: just got a report the other day, and we are
• 24:02
  Speaker 13: going to be able to hit that goal. We've actually
• 24:03
  Speaker 13: already crossed that threshold of $ 100 million raised for charities
• 24:08
  Speaker 13: this year. So it's an incredible accomplishment. We've got about
• 24:11
  Speaker 13: 15,000 runners in the race this year who are putting
• 24:15
  Speaker 13: meaning to their miles by raising money for this multitude
• 24:18
  Speaker 13: of causes. And if you're interested in being a part
• 24:21
  Speaker 13: of supporting that, you can either go find a runner
• 24:24
  Speaker 13: who you know is running for a cause or go
• 24:27
  Speaker 13: to our website at nyr.org. You'll see all the different charities.
• 24:30
  Speaker 13: One of those charities is Team for Kids, which is
• 24:32
  Speaker 13: our very own charity at New York Roadrunners that helps
• 24:35
  Speaker 13: us put on all the free youth events and all
• 24:39
  Speaker 13: the programs we have for kids and adults, including this
• 24:43
  Speaker 13: past weekend, the weekend before the marathon, when we had
• 24:46
  Speaker 13: almost 5,000 kids in all five boroughs running in the
• 24:49
  Speaker 13: TCS New York City Marathon Kids Kickoff, a totally free
• 24:53
  Speaker 13: running event for all these kids and families that was
• 24:56
  Speaker 13: really helping us create that next generation of marathon runners.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you talked about the $ 100 million for
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: this year, but you've been doing this for a while
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: and it's grown every single year. The number, the amount
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: of money you've raised since this started is astronomical. And
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: my understanding is it's $ 700 million. Is that right?
• 25:19
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I think that's right. And it's grown every year.
• 25:23
  Speaker 13: It's just a huge part of what has... I say
• 25:26
  Speaker 13: this marathon has changed the world. It really has changed
• 25:30
  Speaker 13: the world. It has changed countless lives. We've had over
• 25:34
  Speaker 13: a million people finish this race over the years since
• 25:39
  Speaker 13: it started. Those lives were changed. And think of the
• 25:42
  Speaker 13: lives that were changed by all that fundraising as well.
• 25:45
  Speaker 13: The nonprofits that were able to take that money and
• 25:49
  Speaker 13: turn it into helping people in a myriad of different ways.
• 25:52
  Speaker 13: There are organizations that are fighting disease. There are organizations
• 25:56
  Speaker 13: that are helping people get educated, that are helping with
• 26:01
  Speaker 13: homelessness and other social issues. Everything you can think of
• 26:05
  Speaker 13: is represented within that group of 650 nonprofits we've got
• 26:09
  Speaker 13: in the program this year.
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, one of the.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Reasons the marathon is so special to New York, and
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize this, and thank you so much for
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: allowing 710WOR and myself and everybody here to be a
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: part of the marathon, the small part of the marathon.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: It's when I'm in a hotel staying overnight for the
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: next morning and I get to meet all the people
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: around the world that have saved all year for this moment.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: This is a pinnacle for them. So you have made
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: dreams come true for tens of thousands of people and
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: it's still growing how many people are running this year.
• 26:48
  Speaker 13: We expect larry about 60 000 finishers this year we're
• 26:52
  Speaker 13: always waiting to see how things play out with who
• 26:55
  Speaker 13: cancels you know people are canceling right up to the
• 26:58
  Speaker 13: last day before the marathon so we track that number
• 27:01
  Speaker 13: but right now we're expecting over 60 000 that'll be
• 27:03
  Speaker 13: the first time in the history of the event.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Rob Similcare, New York Roadrunners Chief Executive Officer, the organization
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: that puts on the TCS New York City Marathon. Thank
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: you so much for your time.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
• 27:16
  Speaker 10: Appreciate it.
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: Up next, another lithium ion battery fire caused because bicycles
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: are stored in apartments.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: This one in NYCHA.
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: Wait till you hear what the mayor and the attorney
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: general of the state of New York had to say
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: about it as they gave us a word salad.
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: Up next.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Now, let me tell you about life back. I'm sorry.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: I was just looking at a story, another story about
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: life back and officers this time in Kentucky saving a
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: three month old child. Can you imagine the mother's panic
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: calling 9-1-1 and they got there just in time? And
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: luckily they had a life back in their patrol car.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: That's why every patrol car across the country in New
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: York City and New Jersey, they should have a life vac.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: It should be in every school cafeteria. It should be
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: in every restaurant. This product saves lives. It is the
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: first and only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device to be used
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: for second-line treatment when recommended choking protocols have been followed
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: without success. And here is what's so remarkable. LifeVac has
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: now saved over 7,000 lives worldwide. Just a little while
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: ago when I was talking about this, two months ago,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: it was 6,000. That's 1,000 more lives saved. And those
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: aren't just numbers. That's what's important to remember. Those are
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: real people, real families, real second chances. Preparedness matters. Having
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: the right tool nearby can make all the difference in
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: the world. So learn more about LifeVac today. at LifeVac.net.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: That's LifeVac.net. Visit LifeVac.net and see how you can be
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: ready the next time it counts.
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: Here we go.
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: A 10-year-old boy in the Bronx, public housing projects, the
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: Patterson houses on the 11th floor, killed. Four other family
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: members critically injured. And once again... An e-bike charging up
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: its lithium ion battery has caused a devastating fire. This
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: goes on and on and on. 400 fires alone in
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: the city this year. 74 injuries.
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: Six deaths.
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: Apparently, the man of the house used this lithium-ion battery
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: e-bike to get back and forth to his job, which
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: was a car wash.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: I'll bet you he was an illegal alien.
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: And so, naturally, all the politicians show up. There's a gaggle,
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: the proverbial condolences. You had Zoran Mandami, the fire commissioner, and, oh,
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: Tish James running for re-election. And, you know, they're sad,
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: they're unhappy at this happening, but they do nothing to
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: stop it, Larry, nothing. And then Tish James says, and
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: by the way, you know, these people have to earn money.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: So let me get this straight.
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: In this case, as in previous cases, they left an
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: e-bike in the kitchen charging up the dangerous lithium ion battery,
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: which when it goes on fire, Larry, it takes the
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: firefighters like two hours to put it out. That's just
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: a small one for the bike. You know, like you've
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: seen with the Tesla car, it could take hours.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: And yet they.
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: Continue to do this over and over, jeopardizing not only
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: their own families, But there.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Are other people living in that building.
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: I don't hear anybody chastising these folks who know the
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: danger of the batteries, but do nothing to keep their
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: families and other people out of harm's way.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Now, as you know, Zoran Mamdani and Letitia James had
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: a news conference yesterday, and this came up. And both
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: of them, when they responded... didn't come up with any solutions.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: They suggested that people not put the lithium-powered e-bikes up
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: into their apartments. They suggested that. And Letitia James was
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: pushed and said, well, can't we do something? Can't we
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: prevent this from happening? Can't there be a law? She
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: said a lot of people need these bikes for their livelihood.
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: So.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Does that mean they have to bring them into their
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: apartments and lean them against the front door?
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: I don't understand.
• 31:44

  Speaker 7: candidate names in Alaska, I'd like to congratulate the New

  Speaker 7: York Times for committing a random act of journalism.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: That is great.
