Latest / Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning / Hour 1: Hurricane Isaias
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, we have a hurricane coming, the first hurricane of
- 0:03Speaker 1: this season. It's really late. It's been strange that there's
- 0:07Speaker 1: been nothing until now. And it's supposed to hit the
- 0:10Speaker 1: panhandle possibly as a Cat 3. And if you've noticed,
- 0:15Speaker 1: I haven't said the name of the hurricane yet because
- 0:18Speaker 1: apparently nobody can pronounce it. Even the Florida governor who
- 0:24Speaker 1: deals with hurricanes all the time, he passed.
- 0:28Speaker 2: Because it's not normal. I don't know how to pronounce
- 0:31Speaker 2: this because it's not normal. So, you know, I'm calling
- 0:34Speaker 2: it Isaiah. You guys can call it what you want.
- 0:36Speaker 2: I know that's not how you pronounce this. It's something else.
- 0:39Speaker 2: But it's weird, and I'm just going to keep butchering
- 0:42Speaker 2: it for the next 72 hours, and I'd rather just
- 0:44Speaker 2: be that.
- 0:45Speaker 3: Oh, he's great.
- 0:46Speaker 4: But when I first heard it, remember I said it
- 0:48Speaker 4: to the both of you, Natalie, and to Larry, I
- 0:51Speaker 4: said it sounds like the newest leader of ISIS, Al-Qaeda,
- 0:55Speaker 4: or Hamas.
- 0:56Speaker 1: Well, it sort of sounds like ISIS. It's ISIS, I think,
- 0:59Speaker 1: or ISIS. ISIS.
- 1:01Speaker 5: Isaias?
- 1:01Speaker 1: Isaias.
- 1:02Speaker 3: That's it.
- 1:03Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 1:03Speaker 1: What a dumb name. Isaias. Let's see if we have
- 1:07Speaker 1: Ray Stajic on the line, the meteorologist for WOR and
- 1:10Speaker 1: the Weather Channel. And have you been pronouncing it right?
- 1:14Speaker 1: Have you been practicing it all day?
- 1:17Speaker 6: My head hurts.
- 1:19Speaker 7: Please tell us how to pronounce it.
- 1:21Speaker 6: Really, I mean, it's Isaias.
- 1:24Speaker 5: Isaias.
- 1:26Speaker 3: Isaias.
- 1:26Speaker 8: Isaias.
- 1:27Speaker 3: Where did that come from? Who chooses these names?
- 1:31Speaker 6: I have no clue. You know, we had that discussion
- 1:33Speaker 6: this morning. Our hurricane expert, Dr. Rick, I was like,
- 1:37Speaker 6: he used to work at the Hurricane Center.
- 1:39Speaker 3: Down in Miami.
- 1:39Speaker 6: And I was like, Dr. Nabb, who does this? I said,
- 1:44Speaker 6: why can't you just go with one syllable? Like Ray
- 1:47Speaker 6: or Rick.
- 1:48Speaker 3: Exactly.
- 1:49Speaker 6: Or John or Bill. Or just give them numbers. Like,
- 1:52Speaker 6: It's Storm 1A. It's Storm 1B.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Since you asked, I have the origin. You want to
- 1:57Speaker 1: hear the origin?
- 1:57Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, please.
- 1:59Speaker 1: Spanish and Portuguese form of the biblical Hebrew name Yeshayahu.
- 2:04Speaker 4: What?
- 2:05Speaker 1: So that ought to clear things up for you, which
- 2:07Speaker 1: means Yahoo is salvation.
- 2:10Speaker 9: Yahoo.
- 2:11Speaker 1: Yeshiyahu.
- 2:11Speaker 3: That's it.
- 2:12Speaker 1: Very good. Yeshiyahu. Yeshiyahu is salvation or God saves in Hebrew.
- 2:19Speaker 4: Now, I got to tell you guys, we used to
- 2:21Speaker 4: call it, what a yahoo that guy is. That was
- 2:25Speaker 4: a term that we would commonly, what a yahoo, you know,
- 2:28Speaker 4: what a schlub. What a yambo.
- 2:30Speaker 3: What did they get these names for?
- 2:33Speaker 5: We're coming up with our own names next year because
- 2:35Speaker 5: I think yahoo would be a great name for a storm.
- 2:37Speaker 1: How about Hurricane Yambo?
- 2:39Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 2:39Speaker 1: I like that one.
- 2:41Speaker 3: Okay. Isaias.
- 2:42Speaker 6: I'm back to Bill, Ray, Nick, John.
- 2:46Speaker 4: Let's go with Mary. Don't leave out those female genders, please.
- 2:50Speaker 4: Come on. I heard you saying all males there.
- 2:52Speaker 3: Come on, Ray.
- 2:53Speaker 6: No, I said Mary.
- 2:54Speaker 3: Oh, okay. Okay.
- 2:56Speaker 6: Right away, you want to pounce. You're learned. It only
- 3:02Speaker 6: took me a couple of months, but I got you.
- 3:07Speaker 1: So what can you tell us about Isaias?
- 3:10Speaker 7: No, Isaias.
- 3:13Speaker 6: Hurricane.
- 3:13Speaker 3: All right.
- 3:15Speaker 8: Isaias.
- 3:16Speaker 6: Advisory is coming out now every three hours. It's full updates, 5A, 11A, 5P, 11P,
- 3:24Speaker 6: and then intermediate advisories where they send updates out. So
- 3:27Speaker 6: Hurricane Hunters out there. The last update, 110 mile per hour,
- 3:31Speaker 6: Category 2. One mile per hour away from being a
- 3:34Speaker 6: major hurricane. which starts at one 11, probably strengthen a
- 3:37Speaker 6: little bit more of the hurricane center does bring it
- 3:40Speaker 6: to one 15 and then tries to weaken it right
- 3:43Speaker 6: before landfall somewhere around, let's say near Pensacola and the
- 3:49Speaker 6: Western pandemic on that area of Florida. And it takes
- 3:53Speaker 6: it on shore weekends, starts accelerating for momentum as it
- 3:56Speaker 6: does weekend. And it'll make a turn a little jog
- 3:59Speaker 6: toward the West before it heads Northeast. And at that point,
- 4:03Speaker 6: it was when it heads in our direction and, as
- 4:05Speaker 6: we look ahead towards Sunday and Sunday night.
- 4:07Speaker 8: You're going to.
- 4:08Speaker 6: Get some rain and showers, maybe up to an inch
- 4:10Speaker 6: of rain. I don't think big impacts here, but at
- 4:12Speaker 6: least some wet weather around. But obviously, as you get
- 4:16Speaker 6: down into the southeast, where we see landfall, we're going
- 4:19Speaker 6: to see a water rise, that storm surge of water
- 4:22Speaker 6: coming in off the Gulf, and then you've got rain,
- 4:24Speaker 6: heavy rain and flooding. Severe weather, as you traditionally do
- 4:27Speaker 6: on the east side of the eyewall, where you'll get
- 4:30Speaker 6: severe weather, including tornadoes in the southeastern U.S. and The
- 4:34Speaker 6: heavy rain, the flood risk will move inland. But I
- 4:37Speaker 6: think here it's just rain. I don't think we have
- 4:39Speaker 6: much of a flood risk at all. Just a damp
- 4:42Speaker 6: Sunday forecast that looks like it's going to be the
- 4:44Speaker 6: worst of it.
- 4:45Speaker 1: All right.
- 4:45Speaker 3: Two things of importance.
- 4:47Speaker 4: Donald Trump going to the Bulldogs, Georgia versus Alabama. He'll
- 4:52Speaker 4: get a great reception. Is this going to be wiped
- 4:55Speaker 4: out because of this storm slash hurricane going right through
- 4:59Speaker 4: that area?
- 5:01Speaker 6: No, I think the worst is going to be well past.
- 5:04Speaker 6: I mean, it'd be a little breezy, maybe some showers
- 5:07Speaker 6: in Tuscaloosa, 630 central kickoff for the Bulldogs and the
- 5:12Speaker 6: Crimson Tide. But the worst of it's going to be gone.
- 5:14Speaker 6: But they've canceled just about everything else before the game.
- 5:16Speaker 6: There's no tailgate. There's none of that stuff. But it
- 5:19Speaker 6: will be nasty before and during the day in central,
- 5:23Speaker 6: south central Alabama. But it should be improving significantly. as
- 5:26Speaker 6: we head toward kickoff.
- 5:27Speaker 3: Oh, he'll love it because he'll get a great reception.
- 5:29Speaker 4: Second, you totally didn't mention Monday, Columbus Day Parade.
- 5:33Speaker 3: Everybody wants to forget it up Fifth Avenue. What's the
- 5:37Speaker 3: weather forecast going to be for.
- 5:39Speaker 4: All those people who don't even want to acknowledge Christopher
- 5:43Speaker 4: Columbus anymore?
- 5:45Speaker 6: In the morning, there could be some lingering showers. I
- 5:47Speaker 6: think they'll be ending by probably 7 or 8 o'clock
- 5:50Speaker 6: if there's still some leftover showers. I don't think it's
- 5:53Speaker 6: going to be a bunch of rain at all. The afternoon,
- 5:56Speaker 6: we might get some sun in near 70 degrees.
- 5:58Speaker 3: Good, good. Thank you.
- 5:59Speaker 1: When you said it wasn't going to hit the football game,
- 6:02Speaker 1: it was going to be later than the storm, so
- 6:05Speaker 1: the storm will have moved past by that point. Is
- 6:08Speaker 1: that because, because I'm remembering some past storms, they stuck
- 6:12Speaker 1: around for a while or they were very large and
- 6:15Speaker 1: there was remnants of it at the very least for
- 6:18Speaker 1: hours and hours and hours. Is this one slow-moving, or
- 6:22Speaker 1: is it that big, or is it just the normal timing?
- 6:26Speaker 3: No, not slow-moving.
- 6:27Speaker 6: Right now, forward speed northeast at 14 miles per hour,
- 6:30Speaker 6: and it will accelerate in forward speed. Every tropical system,
- 6:34Speaker 6: whether it's a tropical storm or hurricane, is unique. It's
- 6:38Speaker 6: all based on how the wind patterns and the steering
- 6:42Speaker 6: currents are basically set up in the atmosphere. This one
- 6:46Speaker 6: is set up for a storm to keep moving north.
- 6:50Speaker 6: And as it gets into the northern latitudes and the westerlies,
- 6:53Speaker 6: it will continue to pick up forward speed as the
- 6:56Speaker 6: actual wind speed from the system winds down. So we're
- 6:59Speaker 6: not anticipating a slow-moving storm that's hanging around. If anything,
- 7:02Speaker 6: it'll speed up. And as we had said, there will
- 7:05Speaker 6: be impacts in Alabama, but those impacts will be before kickoff,
- 7:09Speaker 6: at least the worst of them. And most of it
- 7:11Speaker 6: should move north and then northeast as we head toward
- 7:13Speaker 6: 630 kickoff time for that game.
- 7:16Speaker 3: All right.
- 7:17Speaker 4: Ray Stajic, we'll catch up with you later today for
- 7:20Speaker 4: a quickie update in case you want to do a
- 7:22Speaker 4: pivoting shift and change your mind on it.
- 7:25Speaker 1: There you go. Like you always do, right?
- 7:28Speaker 6: No problem.
- 7:30Speaker 3: It's possible.
- 7:31Speaker 5: I thought the biggest thing he said was that the
- 7:33Speaker 5: tailgating was canceled.
- 7:35Speaker 3: That's a big deal in Alabama.
- 7:36Speaker 1: It is.
- 7:38Speaker 3: Thank you. Tailgating and the walk.
- 7:41Speaker 6: They do their entrance and all that. All that's canceled.
- 7:45Speaker 6: They moved game day inside, so Oh, okay. All that.
- 7:49Speaker 11: Yep.
- 7:50Speaker 4: So anyway, Natalie, you brought to our attention, along with Larry,
- 7:53Speaker 4: big story affecting moms and kids in sports in New Jersey.
- 7:59Speaker 3: What's going on?
- 8:01Speaker 5: Well, in Wayne, New Jersey, there is a youth ice
- 8:06Speaker 5: hockey league called, I love this name, the Hitmen, Jersey Hitmen.
- 8:10Speaker 3: What is that, right out of the Sopranos? You can't
- 8:13Speaker 3: make it up. It's so Jersey.
- 8:15Speaker 5: Anyway, so- Apparently, they have a rule that, you know,
- 8:19Speaker 5: if they want to have any merchandise made, you know,
- 8:22Speaker 5: because every team wants to have merchandise, it has to
- 8:26Speaker 5: go through the club. Well, apparently some moms decided to
- 8:29Speaker 5: make their own team jackets and the owner didn't like
- 8:32Speaker 5: it so much.
- 8:34Speaker 3: What do you mean the owner didn't like it so much?
- 8:36Speaker 3: I mean, come on. This is a youth league. This
- 8:38Speaker 3: is moms.
- 8:39Speaker 4: You were involved in a soccer league where you and
- 8:42Speaker 4: the moms were out there, you know, dealing with the
- 8:44Speaker 4: kids who are on the soccer pitch.
- 8:47Speaker 3: So, I mean, I don't understand this.
- 8:50Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't get it either.
- 8:51Speaker 5: He put out an email to the team basically threatening
- 8:56Speaker 5: to suspend the players.
- 8:58Speaker 7: You 10. We're talking 9 and 10-year-olds.
- 9:00Speaker 3: What?
- 9:01Speaker 5: Suspend them and... That they were going to have to
- 9:05Speaker 5: pay 15% royalty fees or something because it is copyrighted.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Oh, he did copyright it. Then he does have the
- 9:11Speaker 1: right to do this. No, he does have the right.
- 9:12Speaker 3: He absolutely has the right.
- 9:14Speaker 5: And then he basically said, I was really never going
- 9:17Speaker 5: to suspend them. But, and I do understand this. Because
- 9:22Speaker 5: you know, Larry, because you have kids that have children
- 9:25Speaker 5: right now in youth club sports.
- 9:27Speaker 7: These parents are crazy. And if you don't.
- 9:30Speaker 5: Basically threaten suspension or something, their kids are going to
- 9:34Speaker 5: get hurt at the end. They're going to ignore you.
- 9:37Speaker 1: Yeah, but this is a lot different. I mean, those
- 9:39Speaker 1: crazy parents are the ones that are going up in
- 9:42Speaker 1: the coaches' faces all the time saying, my son's not
- 9:45Speaker 1: playing enough and he's better than this person or this person. This,
- 9:49Speaker 1: it sounds like he's in the right. He's allowed. If
- 9:51Speaker 1: he copyrighted this, he's absolutely.
- 9:54Speaker 8: In the right.
- 9:55Speaker 1: I'm not even sure why it made it to a
- 9:57Speaker 1: story except for some of the parents must be really
- 9:59Speaker 1: upset about it but uh no that was brilliant on
- 10:02Speaker 1: his part so.
- 10:03Speaker 4: Now i take this side of the parents on this
- 10:05Speaker 4: come on man this is bad pr for him He
- 10:08Speaker 4: doesn't look good.
- 10:09Speaker 1: It's not bad PR for the parents. I'm telling you,
- 10:11Speaker 1: in most of these cases, I will find out. And
- 10:13Speaker 1: I was one of the bad parents. So believe me,
- 10:16Speaker 1: I'm turning myself in. Let's open up this Pandora's box.
- 10:19Speaker 3: Tell us a little bit.
- 10:20Speaker 1: We don't have time. Trust me, I've talked about it before.
- 10:24Speaker 1: I've talked about it before. But in this case, he
- 10:28Speaker 1: put out, he said to people, don't do this. And
- 10:31Speaker 1: they did it anyway. And he has a copyright. So legally...
- 10:37Speaker 1: I don't know if PR is good, but legally, he
- 10:40Speaker 1: is absolutely right.
- 10:41Speaker 4: I am suggesting now in retaliation that all of those
- 10:44Speaker 4: knockoff illegal aliens on Canal Street now have rows and rows.
- 10:51Speaker 12: Of these.
- 10:52Speaker 3: And they'll sell, too. It's a great name. I mean,
- 10:55Speaker 3: retaliate on this guy.
- 10:57Speaker 5: But basically, he's saying, if I'm not this strong that
- 11:02Speaker 5: I have to threaten that their kids are not going
- 11:03Speaker 5: to play— The parents won't listen to me.
- 11:06Speaker 1: I don't think Curtis has ever been in the world
- 11:09Speaker 1: that we've been in with the crazy parents. So it's
- 11:12Speaker 1: really difficult to get mad at the coaches who are
- 11:15Speaker 1: taking incoming all day long from these crazy parents that
- 11:20Speaker 1: say little Bobby is much better than Jim Joe.
- 11:24Speaker 3: Jim Joe? Where did you get that name from, Larry?
- 11:28Speaker 1: Just came out. Hey, listen, we'd like to hear from you.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Go to the iHeartRadio app and leave us a talkback.
- 11:33Speaker 1: You could win a Curtis Sliwa and Larry Menti in
- 11:36Speaker 1: the morning t-shirt, which is going to be awarded every
- 11:38Speaker 1: day to our favorite talkback in the morning. And while
- 11:40Speaker 1: you're on the free iHeartRadio app, be sure to set
- 11:43Speaker 1: a preset for 710WOR. And don't forget, the best talkback
- 11:48Speaker 1: of the week takes home a C-Crane radio. Well, this
- 11:53Speaker 1: is really interesting. Apparently, Curtis hates Ella Langley so much...
- 11:58Speaker 1: He went to a pro to do research on her
- 12:02Speaker 1: to show that she doesn't deserve the accolade she's getting
- 12:08Speaker 1: and the record she set with Billboard. He can explain
- 12:12Speaker 1: when we come back. Plus, a chance to see live
- 12:15Speaker 1: on stage a Bronx tale, the one-man show starring Chaz
- 12:19Speaker 1: Palminteri at age 25. Here's iHeartRadio.
- 12:23Speaker 3: So, I have this obsession.
- 12:26Speaker 4: And you know me, Larry and Natalie, and our audience,
- 12:28Speaker 4: when I'm obsessed with something, I do a follow-up. Although
- 12:32Speaker 4: I must admit that I have little, if any, knowledge
- 12:35Speaker 4: about how they do rankings of songs, you know, from
- 12:39Speaker 4: the Billboard charts. But ever since Larry came in here
- 12:43Speaker 4: crowing like a rooster in the morning about Ella Langley,
- 12:48Speaker 4: somebody I had never even heard her name, about this song,
- 12:52Speaker 4: Choose in Texas, which was rated number one, what, 25
- 12:55Speaker 4: weeks in a row. I went to the professor here,
- 12:59Speaker 4: who's Tom Cuddy, our program director, who spent years in FM,
- 13:03Speaker 4: Top 40 radio, radio play. He knows the ins and outs.
- 13:07Speaker 4: And I said, you know something? I doubt this. And
- 13:10Speaker 4: he did a deep dive, and you may want to
- 13:13Speaker 4: laugh at me, but could you play that song for us?
- 13:15Speaker 3: Because I don't think.
- 13:16Speaker 4: And I remember when the sister station of us at
- 13:19Speaker 4: WABC when I was there was Nash, so I would.
- 13:21Speaker 3: Hear a lot of the country.
- 13:23Speaker 4: This sounds like almost every second song that was played
- 13:25Speaker 4: on Nash.
- 13:26Speaker 1: I don't think so, but it's a crossover now. It's
- 13:28Speaker 1: not just a country song. It's now a pop song.
- 13:31Speaker 4: Right, and it's based the ratings on streaming, sales, and
- 13:36Speaker 4: play on radio stations, like Z100 and such.
- 13:39Speaker 8: Okay.
- 13:39Speaker 9: Okay.
- 13:40Speaker 4: So Tom did a deep dive and he extrapolated the following.
- 13:44Speaker 4: He said, based on all information, he estimated that it
- 13:49Speaker 4: had accumulated enough chart points to rank approximately 25 to
- 13:54Speaker 4: 35 all time.
- 13:55Speaker 3: Not number one, as you extolled.
- 13:57Speaker 1: I didn't say it was all time. All time's a
- 13:59Speaker 1: different list. That's completely different than what we were talking about.
- 14:03Speaker 1: But that's okay. Keep going.
- 14:04Speaker 3: Recuse yourself then.
- 14:05Speaker 1: No, I don't have to.
- 14:06Speaker 4: First song of all time, Blinding Lights, which my wife
- 14:11Speaker 4: Nancy loves by The Weeknd. Twist and Shout by Chubby Checker.
- 14:15Speaker 4: And it goes on and on and on. And he
- 14:17Speaker 4: lists all these other songs.
- 14:18Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 14:19Speaker 4: That obviously had more play, more stay, more sales, everything
- 14:23Speaker 4: that would attribute to their top rating. So I want
- 14:27Speaker 4: you to apologize to our.
- 14:28Speaker 3: Audience, Larry.
- 14:30Speaker 1: It's like saying Gone with the Wind is the top
- 14:32Speaker 1: selling movie of all time because more people bought tickets.
- 14:36Speaker 1: You have to go by current time. I'll tell you,
- 14:38Speaker 1: I'm not going to argue with Tom Cuddy. I mean,
- 14:41Speaker 1: that's a well thought out list that he put together.
- 14:44Speaker 1: I looked at it, but it was number one For
- 14:49Speaker 1: 24 weeks. That is number one. Now, number one, buy
- 14:53Speaker 1: the songs that are currently out. You took past songs.
- 14:56Speaker 1: It's a completely different list. So you're arguing oranges and apples.
- 15:00Speaker 3: At this point.
- 15:00Speaker 4: Well, we're sending our own Natalie Magliore into the streets
- 15:04Speaker 4: today to see if anybody even knows who this woman
- 15:06Speaker 4: Ella Langley is.
- 15:08Speaker 1: Well, they may not because she's a country star, but
- 15:10Speaker 1: we'll see.
- 15:11Speaker 3: They may.
- 15:11Speaker 1: But can I just tell you one thing? I looked
- 15:13Speaker 1: at the Billboard Top 100. So it was replaced by
- 15:16Speaker 1: Patient Zero, right, by Taylor Swift. You hate her, too.
- 15:19Speaker 1: You hate Ella Langley. You hate Taylor Swift. Two lovely
- 15:22Speaker 1: young women, but you hate them. Number three, Taylor Swift, Cleveland.
- 15:27Speaker 1: Number four, Babylon by Taylor Swift. Number five, Pink Clouding
- 15:33Speaker 1: by Taylor Swift. So basically everything on that short LP
- 15:37Speaker 1: she put out is in the top five.
- 15:40Speaker 4: I thought there's no more payola. You don't pay people
- 15:42Speaker 4: to boost your ratings.
- 15:44Speaker 1: She doesn't need to do that. But she does have
- 15:47Speaker 1: the resources. Let's get some talkbacks.
- 15:49Speaker 4: Since I can't ask Donald Trump to rename the hurricane
- 15:52Speaker 4: presently in the Gulf, I asked ChatGBT, and it came
- 15:57Speaker 4: up with Hurricane Ice.
- 15:58Speaker 3: So that's what I'm calling it. That's a good one.
- 16:04Speaker 1: That's wonderful.
- 16:06Speaker 7: Hey, guys, it's like an Aceria bowl that you get
- 16:08Speaker 7: over at the mall.
- 16:10Speaker 1: I love an acai bowl. All right.
- 16:12Speaker 7: I like that.
- 16:13Speaker 3: Whoa, whoa. I didn't quite get that.
- 16:14Speaker 7: Acai bowl.
- 16:15Speaker 1: She's saying it's like the hurricane.
- 16:17Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 16:17Speaker 7: Instead of whatever it's called.
- 16:19Speaker 1: God. We're going to call it acai now.
- 16:21Speaker 3: It's so confusing.
- 16:22Speaker 1: It is. One more.
- 16:24Speaker 14: You guys are talking about a storm's name, but the
- 16:26Speaker 14: biggest thing going on this weekend, it's the start of
- 16:29Speaker 14: Columbus Day weekend. And I want to know, Curtis, are
- 16:33Speaker 14: you going to be at the parade tomorrow on 18th Avenue?
- 16:37Speaker 14: We're looking forward to seeing you.
- 16:39Speaker 3: And bring Larry and Natalie.
- 16:41Speaker 14: With you so we know what they look like when
- 16:42Speaker 14: we're listening.
- 16:43Speaker 3: To them in the morning.
- 16:45Speaker 4: I normally would, but I had a trade. My wife,
- 16:47Speaker 4: they have the annual parade, doggy parade, Halloween parade in
- 16:51Speaker 4: Tompkins Square Park tomorrow. Morris Park on Sunday, I'll be there.
- 16:54Speaker 4: And Monday, the big Columbus State parade on Fifth Avenue,
- 16:58Speaker 4: I'll be there. So I had to give up one
- 16:59Speaker 4: of the Columbus State.
- 17:00Speaker 1: Maybe I'll be there. Try to find me. Now let's
- 17:04Speaker 1: get the news at 630 with Daria.
- 17:07Speaker 7: I keep waiting for my name to come up on
- 17:09Speaker 7: the hurricane list.
- 17:10Speaker 3: Oh, Daria. You call it.
- 17:12Speaker 6: Gloria, though.
- 17:13Speaker 7: And Curtis and Nadia.
- 17:15Speaker 1: Well, Gloria was a famous one. Daria I gotta search for.
- 17:19Speaker 7: I keep waiting for it. I did that too when
- 17:21Speaker 7: I was a kid. I'd always look at the list
- 17:23Speaker 7: and I was like, is my name on it this year?
- 17:25Speaker 7: I think I was a typhoon years ago, but not
- 17:27Speaker 7: in the Atlantic.
- 17:28Speaker 4: I'm kidding.
- 17:28Speaker 7: I'm waiting still. Sunny and a little cooler today and
- 17:31Speaker 7: a high of 71 degrees. An angry Mayor Mamdani wants
- 17:36Speaker 7: ice out of New York City after agents shot and
- 17:38Speaker 7: wounded a man in the Bronx yesterday.
- 17:39Speaker 3: Let me say this plainly. What happened today... was an outrage.
- 17:45Speaker 7: DHS says the man is an undocumented immigrant from the
- 17:48Speaker 7: Dominican Republic and they say he is a violent criminal.
- 17:51Speaker 7: He was in a car with a five-year-old boy when
- 17:53Speaker 7: he was shot. The feds say he was using that
- 17:55Speaker 7: car to ram agents. The Pentagon says the December 3rd
- 17:59Speaker 7: execution of former Army Major Nadel Hassan will be live-streamed.
- 18:03Speaker 7: Hassan was sentenced to death for a deadly 2009 shooting
- 18:06Speaker 7: in Fort Hood, Texas. The city is helping bodega owners
- 18:10Speaker 7: improve safety at their stores.
- 18:12Speaker 9: Speaker Julie Mennon announced $ 200, 000 in funding to help shops
- 18:16Speaker 9: install panic buttons and other safety measures.
- 18:19Speaker 10: Protecting public safety and strengthening economic vibrancy really go hand
- 18:24Speaker 10: in hand, and we are so excited to make progress
- 18:27Speaker 10: on both of these priorities.
- 18:29Speaker 9: Eligible businesses include ground floor retail establishments with 50 or
- 18:33Speaker 9: less workers. The funding will be split evenly and go
- 18:36Speaker 9: directly to each borough's Chamber of Commerce. The chambers are
- 18:40Speaker 9: then responsible for selecting the businesses and reporting on the
- 18:43Speaker 9: program's progress to the council's finance division. I'm Lizzie Randabali,
- 18:47Speaker 9: WOR News.
- 18:48Speaker 7: Forecasters now say Hurricane Isaias will make landfall sometime late
- 18:53Speaker 7: tonight or early tomorrow along the Alabama-Florida border. The storm,
- 18:57Speaker 7: which is now Category 2 strength, is the first Atlantic
- 19:00Speaker 7: hurricane of the season and what will be left of it.
- 19:02Speaker 7: is expected to bring heavy rain to our area early
- 19:05Speaker 7: next week. And President Trump really wants us to use
- 19:08Speaker 7: the term superintelligence. He posted on Truth Social, those who
- 19:12Speaker 7: are still calling it artificial intelligence are the enemy. Islanders
- 19:16Speaker 7: beat Chicago. Liberty hosts Atlanta tonight in a must-win Game
- 19:19Speaker 7: 3 of their WNBA semifinal series. Next news, 7 o'clock
- 19:23Speaker 7: bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
- 19:26Speaker 1: Hey, Daria, I have good news for you, by the way.
- 19:29Speaker 1: There was a cyclone, Daria.
- 19:31Speaker 7: Yes, the typhoon. It was, what, in the early.
- 19:34Speaker 13: 90s, I think?
- 19:35Speaker 1: Yeah, 1990. It is the strongest windstorm on record, and
- 19:39Speaker 1: it caused many fatalities. But you know what? Daria, a windstorm,
- 19:44Speaker 1: it's really appropriate for somebody that does the news, isn't it?
- 19:47Speaker 7: It does the news right for me.
- 19:49Speaker 1: But they have no response. for daria because now they
- 19:51Speaker 1: call it the burns day storm so you.
- 19:53Speaker 7: Lost on that one because they were calling it daria
- 19:55Speaker 7: and daria and people were trying to figure it out
- 19:57Speaker 7: that's why.
- 19:58Speaker 4: Oh, up next, if you had nothing to do this weekend,
- 20:01Speaker 4: you got to watch this debate last night in Michigan.
- 20:04Speaker 4: I mean, it was punch for punch. El Saeed versus
- 20:08Speaker 4: Mike Rogers. Even when they went to commercial, they didn't stop.
- 20:12Speaker 4: So it's like the bell rings. You know, that's it.
- 20:14Speaker 3: Stop, stop. No, they kept going. It's so good. We'll
- 20:17Speaker 3: break it down for you up next.
- 20:19Speaker 4: So Larry and Natalie and our audience, I was scrolling
- 20:23Speaker 4: late last night. And I thought I was watching the
- 20:27Speaker 4: political recreation of Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier in the ring.
- 20:33Speaker 4: If you didn't watch this debate, and I'm sure most
- 20:36Speaker 4: of you haven't, maybe you got little snippets.
- 20:38Speaker 3: In Michigan. El Saeed versus Mike Rogers.
- 20:43Speaker 4: I couldn't stop watching.
- 20:46Speaker 3: And by the way, I want to applaud the moderators.
- 20:49Speaker 4: They hit every subject, including flock cameras, artificial intelligence, data centers.
- 20:55Speaker 4: The only thing they didn't put in was transgenders playing
- 20:58Speaker 4: female sports. Mike Rogers is just going to have to
- 21:01Speaker 4: pull his way in. He was relentless, Mike Rogers. El
- 21:05Speaker 4: Saeed is a lot like Zoran Mondami.
- 21:07Speaker 3: Smooth, you know. He was ducking. He was juking. He
- 21:10Speaker 3: was jiving.
- 21:11Speaker 4: But at the end of this debate, you said, the
- 21:13Speaker 4: final debate, there's one more. And late October in Detroit,
- 21:18Speaker 4: the polls are neck and neck there. Man, it's a
- 21:21Speaker 4: must-watch for the nation, because this is really what you
- 21:24Speaker 4: want from a debate.
- 21:25Speaker 1: Yeah, and the entire thing's on YouTube, so people can
- 21:28Speaker 1: go and watch it for themselves. Here are some of
- 21:31Speaker 1: the moments from it. As Curtis just said a moment ago,
- 21:35Speaker 1: there are so many moments. We could spend the entire
- 21:38Speaker 1: show playing this, but let's focus on these three.
- 21:42Speaker 11: What my friend here just wants to do is he's
- 21:45Speaker 11: kind of like a glitchy AI chat bot is say
- 21:48Speaker 11: the same thing over and over and over again.
- 21:50Speaker 3: But let me tell you this.
- 21:52Speaker 11: He has taken money from groups associated and support the
- 21:55Speaker 11: Muslim Brotherhood. He has taken money from individuals on his
- 21:59Speaker 11: campaign who openly support Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda.
- 22:05Speaker 1: And then they, on the same topic, they got to
- 22:09Speaker 1: Al-Sayed's mother.
- 22:11Speaker 8: I'm going to ask you again tonight, who do you
- 22:12Speaker 8: think is a bigger.
- 22:14Speaker 11: No, no, well, let's do this. Let's open up this
- 22:17Speaker 11: can of worms. I'll tell you what my mother did.
- 22:20Speaker 11: She was a small.
- 22:22Speaker 3: You going after my mom? I'm not going after your mom.
- 22:25Speaker 11: What your mom was working at, I was going after
- 22:27Speaker 11: that organization that was indicted for funneling money to Al-Qaeda. Look,
- 22:31Speaker 11: that's your mom. My mom worked at a local chamber
- 22:34Speaker 11: of commerce. I'll put my mom up any day for that.
- 22:37Speaker 3: Oh, I love that. I love that. You know, normally
- 22:42Speaker 3: you don't talk about one another's mothers.
- 22:44Speaker 4: You know, that's like in a disc tape, you know,
- 22:46Speaker 4: Def Jam comedy, your mother, your mother. Mike Rogers was relentless,
- 22:52Speaker 4: you know, because he's got a hammer. This guy is
- 22:55Speaker 4: like associated with supporting terrorism. It goes back to his roots,
- 22:58Speaker 4: his mother, who's from Egypt. I said, man, and El
- 23:02Speaker 4: Saeed Smooth, you know, what? You talking about my mother?
- 23:05Speaker 1: Except that he got blasted for that because he said,
- 23:08Speaker 1: you talking about my mother, which opened up the door
- 23:11Speaker 1: for Rogers because he said, no, I wasn't talking about
- 23:14Speaker 1: your mother, but I'll talk about your mother. And then
- 23:16Speaker 1: he went into her. supporting terrorist organizations no i it
- 23:20Speaker 1: was from the clips i didn't get to see the
- 23:23Speaker 1: whole thing and you did so you're saying i need
- 23:26Speaker 1: to watch the whole thing.
- 23:27Speaker 4: Matched equally matched you know you don't often see that
- 23:30Speaker 4: in debates they were primed they were ready and they
- 23:33Speaker 4: were they were astute on all the issues.
- 23:36Speaker 1: Uh well i'll watch it i'll tell you what i believe.
- 23:39Speaker 8: I'm going to ask you again tonight, who do you
- 23:40Speaker 8: think is a bigger threat to the United States? Israel
- 23:43Speaker 8: or Iran? You have 60 seconds.
- 23:44Speaker 12: And again, Rick, I'm just going to say that that's
- 23:46Speaker 12: a ridiculous hypothetical. Because here's what's happening right now.
- 23:49Speaker 10: Our.
- 23:50Speaker 1: Wait a second! That's a ridiculous hypothetical? That is the
- 23:54Speaker 1: easiest question in the world! Oh my God!
- 23:58Speaker 3: See how smooth? He's just like Zoran Mandami.
- 24:01Speaker 1: See?
- 24:01Speaker 3: He does the pivot and switch there.
- 24:03Speaker 6: Smooth?
- 24:04Speaker 1: That was ridiculous. Why didn't he just jump on him?
- 24:08Speaker 1: Why didn't Rogers just jump in?
- 24:10Speaker 3: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- 24:11Speaker 1: That's not a ridiculous question. Answer it.
- 24:13Speaker 8: I'm going to ask you again tonight. Who do you
- 24:15Speaker 8: think is a bigger threat to the United States, Israel
- 24:18Speaker 8: or Iran? You have 60 seconds.
- 24:19Speaker 12: And again, Rick, I'm just going to say that that's
- 24:21Speaker 12: a ridiculous hypothetical because here's what's.
- 24:23Speaker 8: Happening right now.
- 24:25Speaker 12: Our ostensible ally in Israel has lobbied us to go
- 24:29Speaker 12: to war with Iran. We have watched as Iran has
- 24:33Speaker 12: responded by bombing all kinds of countries in the Middle
- 24:36Speaker 12: East and then choking off the world's energy supply. So
- 24:41Speaker 12: this is a situation in which I don't think we
- 24:43Speaker 12: should be a part. I don't want to be pushed
- 24:45Speaker 12: into war by Israel.
- 24:47Speaker 4: Oh, you see, he made his point to his crowd,
- 24:50Speaker 4: but he didn't totally exempt Iran because he said they
- 24:53Speaker 4: were bombing people throughout the Middle East.
- 24:56Speaker 3: But again, he's smooth. You understand?
- 24:58Speaker 4: And that's why when you watch this whole debate back
- 25:01Speaker 4: and forth, Mike Rogers, relentless. Now, he couldn't interfere with
- 25:05Speaker 4: him every minute. So you'll see, Larry, when you watch
- 25:08Speaker 4: it from beginning to end, you wouldn't have been able
- 25:09Speaker 4: to understand what they were saying. But if you're going
- 25:12Speaker 4: to say to a debating class, I want you to
- 25:15Speaker 4: see a great debate. They should play this in classes
- 25:20Speaker 4: in terms of how you deal. adversarially pro, how you
- 25:24Speaker 4: promote your ideas and then how you go at the
- 25:27Speaker 4: other guy. That's why I'm looking forward to the end
- 25:30Speaker 4: of October. I think it's October 29th in Detroit. Could
- 25:33Speaker 4: be Cobalt Hall there. Oh, this is going to be great.
- 25:37Speaker 1: What's weird is that you admire that answer. And you admire,
- 25:41Speaker 1: maybe not in context, but in content, I should say,
- 25:45Speaker 1: but in the deafness of being able to handle that question.
- 25:50Speaker 1: I thought it was horrible. I thought he was absolutely horrible.
- 25:53Speaker 1: I listened to that and I think there's no equivalence
- 25:56Speaker 1: between the two. And how could you even say it
- 25:59Speaker 1: in a sentence that there was some equivalence?
- 26:00Speaker 3: Of course, of course.
- 26:01Speaker 4: But it also you'll see Rogers put in that same
- 26:05Speaker 4: situation with Trump over and over because obviously Trump.
- 26:08Speaker 3: His ratings are not good, so it hurts.
- 26:11Speaker 4: And you'll watch him as he smoothly operates through being
- 26:14Speaker 4: attached like an appendage to Trump.
- 26:16Speaker 1: I think that's completely different talking about Trump and then
- 26:19Speaker 1: talking about Iran. But listen, we have way different points
- 26:24Speaker 1: of view. I understand that. But, you know, and you're right.
- 26:27Speaker 1: I'm just listening to clips. I'm listening to the whole thing.
- 26:30Speaker 3: I get it. Methodology. I've been in seven debates.
- 26:32Speaker 1: That's fair.
- 26:34Speaker 4: And I know when you start out doing debates, you're
- 26:36Speaker 4: not as good as you are in the end when
- 26:38Speaker 4: you're doing debates.
- 26:39Speaker 3: And these two guys were evenly matched. That's why I
- 26:42Speaker 3: so loved it.
- 26:43Speaker 1: Yeah, I was hearing that this was a this that
- 26:46Speaker 1: else I had, at least a lot of the stuff
- 26:49Speaker 1: that I've read about it. And again, I didn't see it.
- 26:51Speaker 1: A lot of the stuff I read about it said
- 26:52Speaker 1: that he slipped up several times, that he finally showed
- 26:55Speaker 1: some weak spots. But you're walking away from it saying, no,
- 26:58Speaker 1: he didn't. And so I don't know. I don't know
- 27:01Speaker 1: what to believe. So, yes, I'm going to have to
- 27:02Speaker 1: watch it myself.
- 27:03Speaker 13: Good.
- 27:03Speaker 3: Stream it.
- 27:04Speaker 8: Yeah, I will.
- 27:05Speaker 1: I definitely will. Oh, God, another rabbit hole. I'm going
- 27:08Speaker 1: to go down. I do this all the time, and
- 27:10Speaker 1: I end up spending hours now on this debate. It
- 27:14Speaker 1: sounds like it's worth it.
- 27:15Speaker 3: Trust me on this.
- 27:16Speaker 4: When you watch this debate, you'll want to watch debate
- 27:18Speaker 4: number two. Because whatever they miss the first time, they're
- 27:22Speaker 4: going to get it on in Detroit the second time.
- 27:24Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I grant you everything because you watched it
- 27:27Speaker 1: and I only heard clips. But let's get to Krista Pike. Yep,
- 27:32Speaker 1: she's still alive. She's talking and her attorney says she's mad.
- 27:37Speaker 1: We'll get the latest on the woman that survived two
- 27:41Speaker 1: lethal injections next. Tell you what, Curtis, the Krista Pike
- 27:46Speaker 1: story is so fascinating for several reasons. And it's going
- 27:51Speaker 1: to be one of those stories that's going to resonate
- 27:54Speaker 1: throughout history because it's going to have major impact on
- 27:58Speaker 1: future capital punishment cases. Krista Pike, of course, is the
- 28:03Speaker 1: woman that was found guilty of torturing and murdering another woman.
- 28:07Speaker 1: And 30 years later, she was sentenced 23 years ago.
- 28:15Speaker 1: seven years after the murder, and now 23 years after that,
- 28:20Speaker 1: and 30 years after the murder, she goes to be executed.
- 28:25Speaker 1: She's in the room. She's on the gurney. She gets
- 28:28Speaker 1: the first shot of a lethal injection, doesn't die, takes
- 28:32Speaker 1: the second shot of a lethal injection, starts snoring. They panic.
- 28:39Speaker 1: They close the curtains. They get her to the hospital.
- 28:42Speaker 1: And now she's talking. And apparently, according to her attorney,
- 28:47Speaker 1: she didn't know what happened. She didn't know where she was.
- 28:52Speaker 1: And apparently, she wanted to know how her family is.
- 28:56Speaker 1: And she was described as being angry and confused about everything. Now,
- 29:03Speaker 1: this case is, she's not going to be put to
- 29:06Speaker 1: death right away. It's going to go and they're going
- 29:08Speaker 1: to try to get her sentence commuted. to make it
- 29:12Speaker 1: just life in prison, that's probably going to fail. So
- 29:15Speaker 1: it's going to go to the courts. And my feeling
- 29:17Speaker 1: is because there's a constitutional issue here, it's going to
- 29:20Speaker 1: end up in the Supreme court. And we told you
- 29:23Speaker 1: about this yesterday, but they are reiterating it again in
- 29:26Speaker 1: a news conference that they claim that the doctors said
- 29:31Speaker 1: she was brain dead for a while and then came to,
- 29:36Speaker 1: and it is against the law across the country that
- 29:39Speaker 1: you can't put somebody to death twice. If they survive,
- 29:43Speaker 1: you can't put them to death again. And so this
- 29:47Speaker 1: is going to go to the courts. It's a little mucky.
- 29:49Speaker 1: Whenever you hear from some of the attorneys talking about it,
- 29:53Speaker 1: it's not a slam dunk. So it's going to be
- 29:55Speaker 1: a court case case.
- 29:58Speaker 4: Larry, her defense attorneys have now claimed that she tried
- 30:02Speaker 4: to help the executioners find a vein that they could
- 30:06Speaker 4: use for the lethal injection.
- 30:08Speaker 3: Oh, my God. Well, you know what?
- 30:10Speaker 1: There's witnesses for one thing, and she can't use her
- 30:14Speaker 1: arms unless she did it beforehand. Yes. Unless she was
- 30:17Speaker 1: talking to them and said, you know, it's right here.
- 30:20Speaker 1: They swabbed it with alcohol, which I never understand. Whoever
- 30:23Speaker 1: they did lethal, they swab it with alcohol. So that
- 30:26Speaker 1: had to happen beforehand because people would have heard it.
- 30:29Speaker 1: There's people there. There's a microphone. Everything is recorded. It's
- 30:33Speaker 1: important that there are witnesses. So I don't think anybody
- 30:35Speaker 1: else is reporting that. That's funny. You're going to hear
- 30:39Speaker 1: a lot of stuff now. This is a case that's
- 30:42Speaker 1: going to exist now for months and months and months.
- 30:47Speaker 1: And then we have another execution coming up.
- 30:51Speaker 4: This is– the firing squad for the terrorists at Fort Hood.
- 30:55Speaker 4: It was the psychiatrist who was responsible for the death
- 30:59Speaker 4: of over a dozen servicemen, service women, like 36 inches.
- 31:03Speaker 4: Because remember, they don't carry weapons on the base, Fort Hood,
- 31:05Speaker 4: the biggest base in America. And Pete Hegseth has said,
- 31:09Speaker 4: not only are we going to have an execution by
- 31:11Speaker 4: firing squad, we're going.
- 31:12Speaker 3: To stream it so the whole world can see it.
- 31:15Speaker 1: He wants it to be very public. This will be
- 31:17Speaker 1: since World War II. This is the first military execution
- 31:20Speaker 1: of one of its own So here is the Secretary
- 31:23Speaker 1: of War talking about it.
- 31:26Speaker 3: No-brainer.
- 31:27Speaker 13: Execution by firing squad. Army major betrays his country. Radical
- 31:31Speaker 13: Islamist kills a bunch of Americans at Fort Hood. Of
- 31:34Speaker 13: course we're going to do it at Fort Hood. We're
- 31:35Speaker 13: going to do it on a Thursday. We're going to
- 31:36Speaker 13: do it at 1 o'clock, which is when he did it.
- 31:38Speaker 13: And it's going to be soldiers with rifles executing the
- 31:41Speaker 13: firing squad. It hadn't been since World War II since
- 31:44Speaker 13: we've done that.
- 31:45Speaker 1: And as Curtis said, live streamed.
- 31:47Speaker 13: It was a radical Islamist attack in uniform inside the ranks.
- 31:50Speaker 13: And so he's going to get a firing squad of soldiers,
- 31:52Speaker 13: as it should be. And we'll make sure that people
- 31:55Speaker 13: are able to watch it, that it's public, because people
- 31:58Speaker 13: need to understand that there's serious consequences.
- 32:01Speaker 3: For these types of things.
- 32:02Speaker 1: So there's going to be a lot of witnesses to
- 32:04Speaker 1: this one. All over the world. I don't know if
- 32:08Speaker 1: I'm going to be able to watch it. I've turned
- 32:10Speaker 1: down being able to watch executions before, famously John Wayne Gacy.
- 32:15Speaker 1: And I'm not sure if I'm going to watch somebody
- 32:18Speaker 1: getting shot and died.
- 32:18Speaker 4: You know, when we were younger, there was this tape
- 32:21Speaker 4: that was available, Faces of Death. And then there was
- 32:24Speaker 4: part two, Faces of Death. Everybody had to see it
- 32:26Speaker 4: all different ways that people were killed and animals. This
- 32:30Speaker 4: would have made one of the top hits of Faces
- 32:33Speaker 4: of Death. A firing squad, total execution, you know, with
- 32:37Speaker 4: all the rituals that the military uses. But it's going
- 32:41Speaker 4: to go global, and in some parts he'll be considered, yep,
- 32:44Speaker 4: he's our martyr. He got on the Paradise Express and
- 32:47Speaker 4: zoomed himself right on up to Alice's side.
- 32:49Speaker 1: Oh, you're absolutely right. That's what's going to happen. He
- 32:53Speaker 1: will be a martyr to some. When we come back, well,
- 32:58Speaker 1: it is the biggest story locally by far. The ICE
- 33:02Speaker 1: shootings across the country. Well, now we have one in
- 33:06Speaker 1: New York. And remember what happened everywhere else in Minneapolis
- 33:11Speaker 1: and Maine. They're all coming. We'll talk about it after
- 33:15Speaker 1: the 7 o'clock news.
