Hour 3: Israel election · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: Well, a shocker among shockers with Mississippi having a big
0:05
Speaker 1: Republican registration advantage, that that is now in play to
0:10
Speaker 1: the point where Donald Trump has to go there and
0:12
Speaker 1: to the point that Kamala Harris went there to try
0:15
Speaker 1: to get out the vote. Their senator is Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith. Now,
0:20
Speaker 1: she was appointed to the seat in 2018 after the
0:21
Speaker 1: senator resigned, and then she defeated Mike Espy, who is
0:29
Speaker 1: black by a surprisingly close seven percentage point margin in
0:34
Speaker 1: a special election earlier this year. Now she's writing again
0:38
Speaker 1: against another African-American. That's why I mentioned that earlier. And
0:43
Speaker 1: he in the polls, it's neck and neck. And so
0:49
Speaker 1: it is Scott Cologne, a black district attorney in the
0:52
Speaker 1: nearby city of Columbus running for U S Senate. So it's,
0:57
Speaker 1: The two of them are now deadlocked, which is why
1:02
Speaker 1: that they need some outside help.
1:04
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is going to be going.
1:05
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris was already there and she had a big rally.
1:09
Speaker 1: It was well attended. But this is so weird, Curtis.
1:14
Speaker 1: She's been trying out her new personality and her new voice,
1:18
Speaker 1: which isn't as screechy and she's not laughing as much.
1:21
Speaker 1: But I'm going to play a couple clips. You tell
1:23
Speaker 1: me if this is weird.
1:25
Speaker 3: We've gone through the last year and a half Where
1:28
Speaker 3: many of us, whether we admit it or not, have
1:31
Speaker 3: been saying things to the television that we would not
1:34
Speaker 3: say where we pray.
1:38
Speaker 2: What is that? Well, it seems like she's on Prozac now.
1:42
Speaker 1: It is.
1:42
Speaker 2: It's weird. Remember how she used to be all giddy,
1:45
Speaker 2: the word salads, because she'd talk way too fast. And
1:48
Speaker 2: now she's slowed down. It's almost like her rhythm is
1:53
Speaker 2: slowed down. I used to think that she was nipping,
1:58
Speaker 2: you know, at the wine before she used to come
2:00
Speaker 2: out on the stage. Well, she was. She has a
2:02
Speaker 2: history of that. So that's very possible. So this new
2:07
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris, you know, in the most recent polls, she's
2:10
Speaker 2: still ahead of the other Democrats. But, man, she's no
2:13
Speaker 2: Barack Obama. No, not at all.
2:15
Speaker 1: One more.
2:16
Speaker 2: Here's another one. The people get to speak. And the
2:20
Speaker 2: people show their power.
2:22
Speaker 3: And they make clear we're never going to let anyone
2:25
Speaker 3: take our power from us.
2:27
Speaker 2: She sounds like a cartoon character. It sounds like she
2:31
Speaker 2: just sucked on the helium. Yeah, it does. My God,
2:34
Speaker 2: this sounds like nothing like the old Kamala, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
2:38
Speaker 2: word salad Harris.
2:40
Speaker 1: You know some consultants said, listen, we got to change
2:43
Speaker 1: the way you speak. But that ain't working either.
2:46
Speaker 2: So if I'm in Mississippi and you rightly pointed out
2:49
Speaker 2: how it's a neck and neck race and the Democratic
2:52
Speaker 2: candidate is, again, a African-American against the sitting female white
2:58
Speaker 2: Republican senator. You got to bring Barack Obama in. I mean,
3:02
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris is no match for Donald Trump. He's going
3:05
Speaker 2: to come in today, which he is going. And remember,
3:08
Speaker 2: I know Mississippi, M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I. We used to play touch football
3:13
Speaker 2: in the streets. Your granddaughter plays flag football. She's a champion.
3:17
Speaker 2: We used to, you had to do 10 Mississippis and
3:20
Speaker 2: then you could charge the quarterback and But I would
3:22
Speaker 2: have never, ever, ever thought that you require the superstar
3:28
Speaker 2: of the Republican Party, Donald Trump, to come in and
3:31
Speaker 2: just give her a bump, the U.S. Republican senator against
3:35
Speaker 2: her Democratic foe. Wait a second. You went after the
3:39
Speaker 2: quarterback after 10 Mississippis? Yeah, 10 Mississippis. Wow, we did five. Five?
3:44
Speaker 1: Yeah.
3:45
Speaker 2: Well, that's because in Philly they played half ball. As
3:48
Speaker 2: you know, they cut DeSwaldine in half, and I guess
3:50
Speaker 2: you cut the countdown. Well, maybe you couldn't count further
3:53
Speaker 2: than six.
3:56
Speaker 1: No, we just played a better game. We didn't give
3:59
Speaker 1: the quarterback all day to throw.
4:01
Speaker 2: Exactly. Well, I would have preferred just counting to five
4:04
Speaker 2: Mississippi and then charging the quarterback, but... This is the
4:08
Speaker 2: one that makes no sense, to be honest with you.
4:10
Speaker 2: This should have been a slam dunk for the Republicans.
4:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, and as the Washington Post has pointed out and
4:15
Speaker 1: the New York Times has pointed out, if it comes
4:18
Speaker 1: to turnout, Republicans are going to win. And that's why
4:21
Speaker 1: the Trump visit is going to be so important to
4:24
Speaker 1: get out the vote. If he gets out his vote,
4:28
Speaker 1: In Mississippi, any Republican state, but in Mississippi especially, Mississippi
4:33
Speaker 1: will win that. But it is still not great for
4:37
Speaker 1: the Republicans that this race is even in play. Because
4:41
Speaker 1: if this is in play and it's a national election,
4:45
Speaker 1: then some other states that are closer in registration may go,
4:49
Speaker 1: like Michigan, for instance. Michigan's got other problems, but if
4:53
Speaker 1: it was just an even playing field, It would be
4:56
Speaker 1: difficult for the Republicans.
4:57
Speaker 2: And this Democrat that you mentioned, the prosecutor from Columbia,
5:00
Speaker 2: is not a DSA. No, not at all. Now, let's
5:04
Speaker 2: do a pivot and shift to Texas. The whole world
5:07
Speaker 2: is watching Texas now because Tallarico, who suffered when he
5:12
Speaker 2: was MIA for about 12 days, 14 days, still nobody
5:15
Speaker 2: buys that excuse that it was the flu. lost a
5:20
Speaker 2: lot of juice. He was really on, he was like
5:24
Speaker 2: a retro rocket going up, and now it's leveled off
5:28
Speaker 2: him and Paxton. So he has decided, and they're probably
5:31
Speaker 2: doing internal polling, that A, the initial idea, which was
5:36
Speaker 2: to lure Paxton into a debate, that's not going to
5:41
Speaker 2: work out.
5:42
Speaker 1: Although he made a phone call, which they recorded, they
5:45
Speaker 1: made an ad out of this with him asking Paxton
5:49
Speaker 1: to debate.
5:50
Speaker 4: Hey, Ken, it's James. I'm calling to invite you to
5:53
Speaker 4: a debate on Fox News. Texans start voting in less
5:56
Speaker 4: than a month and they deserve to hear from both
5:59
Speaker 4: of us before they do. I've accepted four local TV debates,
6:04
Speaker 4: but we haven't heard from you and we're running out
6:06
Speaker 4: of time. So if Fox News is where you'll be
6:09
Speaker 4: most comfortable, I'll be there.
6:11
Speaker 2: Wow.
6:12
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, if Paxton thought he had to debate,
6:15
Speaker 1: he would. And the fact that Tallarico needs a debate
6:19
Speaker 1: shows that in their internal polls, things aren't going well
6:23
Speaker 1: for Tallarico.
6:23
Speaker 2: And I think you're right. When he took those two.
6:25
Speaker 1: Weeks off, that really, really hurt him because he couldn't
6:30
Speaker 1: deal with all the rumors as to why he had
6:33
Speaker 1: taken off. And the flu, that just didn't cut it.
6:36
Speaker 2: And his own donors who have been pouring money into
6:39
Speaker 2: his race were screaming, where the hell is he? Where
6:41
Speaker 2: the hell is he? Now, Elon Musk has jumped in.
6:44
Speaker 2: He moved everything lock, stock, and barrel out of California
6:47
Speaker 2: to Texas. He's now a resident of Texas. Over $ 150
6:51
Speaker 2: million he's poured into the Paxton campaign. So they must
6:55
Speaker 2: be doing internal polling. on the Telerico side that says,
7:00
Speaker 2: Elon Musk is received more unfavorably in Texas by the
7:05
Speaker 2: voters than Paxton because now his whole campaign is he's
7:09
Speaker 2: going after Elon Musk for all the money he's dropping
7:11
Speaker 2: into this campaign. Yeah, I agree with you. And I
7:13
Speaker 2: think he's just desperate at this point.
7:15
Speaker 5: Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He
7:20
Speaker 5: wants our taxpayer dollars. And he wants his very own
7:23
Speaker 5: personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas.
7:28
Speaker 5: But on November 3rd, we're going to deliver a crystal
7:32
Speaker 5: clear message to the world's first trillionaire.
7:34
Speaker 2: Texas is not for sale.
7:39
Speaker 1: I will tell you right now, and I've been saying
7:41
Speaker 1: this from the beginning, I hear every six years, every
7:46
Speaker 1: four years, every election about some Democrat that's finally going
7:51
Speaker 1: to win in Texas. And it never happens. Beto O'Rourke
7:56
Speaker 1: is the best example of that. He was the star
7:59
Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party there for a while. He was
8:02
Speaker 1: going to become the next senator, then the next governor.
8:05
Speaker 1: He was going to win something, and he just flamed out.
8:08
Speaker 1: And the same thing is going to happen this year.
8:10
Speaker 2: There's a big difference, though, from four years ago or six.
8:14
Speaker 2: The number of Californians and New Yorkers who have flooded
8:18
Speaker 2: into Texas, incredible numbers, to Texas's credit. Because it's an
8:22
Speaker 2: attractive place to raise a family now, educate your children,
8:27
Speaker 2: low taxes, sometimes no taxes, strong on business. So they
8:32
Speaker 2: flooded down there. And what was a clearly red state?
8:36
Speaker 2: may become a purple state now with this vote.
8:38
Speaker 1: Well, you're saying that, but the registration doesn't show it.
8:41
Speaker 1: The registration still has over 60% Republicans. So until that switches,
8:47
Speaker 1: until that happens, a Democrat's not going to win in
8:51
Speaker 1: that state. By the way, I do have Paxton responding
8:55
Speaker 1: about the debate offer.
8:58
Speaker 2: Do you want to debate him?
9:00
Speaker 4: Like, do you have the desire to or not?
9:03
Speaker 6: If the terms were right, I'd have no problem.
9:06
Speaker 2: What are your terms? So, in terms of debating, I
9:09
Speaker 2: don't want to end up with a CNN reporter covering
9:12
Speaker 2: the debate.
9:13
Speaker 7: So, you know, I don't know what all the terms are,
9:16
Speaker 7: but I do know I don't want a.
9:17
Speaker 1: CNN reporter covering our debate, which is what it initially.
9:21
Speaker 8: Was talking about.
9:22
Speaker 9: Last thing, like, Trump said a couple weeks ago that
9:24
Speaker 9: you're ready, willing, and able to debate.
9:26
Speaker 2: Is that still true? Yeah, it's always true.
9:29
Speaker 1: See, that's why it was so important. That happened before
9:33
Speaker 1: the phone call offering Fox News.
9:35
Speaker 2: Right, but just for the voters, they should be entitled
9:38
Speaker 2: to at least two debates. I've said this over and over.
9:41
Speaker 2: There should be a mandatory requirement. You have to do
9:44
Speaker 2: a minimal of two debates on network television so it's
9:47
Speaker 2: a statewide broadcast debate, and then the people can make
9:52
Speaker 2: an assessment for themselves. There's 36 Senate races right now.
9:56
Speaker 2: In 21 of them, there's no debates. And the reason
9:59
Speaker 2: there's no debates is the only reason you don't agree
10:03
Speaker 2: to a debate. The only reason is when you feel
10:06
Speaker 2: like you're far ahead enough that you don't need that debate.
10:09
Speaker 2: And the only thing it could do is hurt you.
10:11
Speaker 2: I think Paxton and Tallarico in their internal polls, they
10:15
Speaker 2: both know that unless there's a debate, this is over
10:18
Speaker 2: at this point. Well, I'm actually predicting that Tallarico will win. Okay,
10:23
Speaker 2: ain't going to happen. But all right, we'll see. We'll
10:25
Speaker 2: see when it happens. Anyway, up next, oh, when Natalie
10:31
Speaker 2: was away on Friday preparing for the marathon, which 710WOR
10:36
Speaker 2: covers with Larry and Natalie and our whole team from
10:39
Speaker 2: beginning to end next Sunday, November 1st. She's got to
10:42
Speaker 2: do all that prep. Wow, there was more intrigue on
10:47
Speaker 2: the Knicks' rings caper. The World Championship rings that a
10:53
Speaker 2: lot of them didn't get. And Natalie lusts, obsesses over
10:58
Speaker 2: getting one of those rings. Plus a chance to see
11:01
Speaker 2: comedian John Mulaney. Next. The mystery of the missing World
11:07
Speaker 2: Championship New York Knicks rings continues. Assistant coaches, trainers, some
11:14
Speaker 2: of the key people who made this all happen. received
11:18
Speaker 2: empty boxes on ring night when they raised the banners
11:21
Speaker 2: from the hardwood when your beloved Sixers beat my beloved Knicks, Larry.
11:27
Speaker 2: But the one who was all for toots, who was
11:30
Speaker 2: like excited over these New York Knick rings, was our
11:34
Speaker 2: own Natalie, our producer. And the plot has just thickened, Natalie.
11:41
Speaker 2: So that ring that you so desire, that you've obsessed over,
11:46
Speaker 2: hasn't even been distributed to all the people in the
11:49
Speaker 2: New York Knicks camp who deserve it. And there's no
11:53
Speaker 2: answers coming from Jimmy Dolan. So at a moment of
11:57
Speaker 2: celebration where people actually started to like Jimmy Dolan, who
12:01
Speaker 2: they didn't like, they're now scratching their heads and saying, what,
12:04
Speaker 2: an extra $ 3 million so that everybody part of this
12:07
Speaker 2: championship squad could get a world championship ring? What's up, Jimmy?
12:13
Speaker 2: What's up?
12:14
Speaker 1: What made it even worse is this email that was
12:18
Speaker 1: sent out to all of these staff All of these
12:21
Speaker 1: staffers telling them they're getting a championship ring and you
12:24
Speaker 1: just click which one you want.
12:26
Speaker 2: They had two. It turns out it.
12:28
Speaker 1: Was an exercise to teach everybody about fishing. you know,
12:32
Speaker 1: about internet scams. But it wasn't an internet scam. This
12:36
Speaker 1: was done by the executives at Madison Square Garden. What
12:41
Speaker 1: a horrible thing to do the employees. And all they're
12:45
Speaker 1: saying right now is, you know what, you're right. In
12:48
Speaker 1: second thought, that was an unfortunate mistake. Unfortunate mistake. It's
12:53
Speaker 1: in writing that they're supposed to get. They're supposed to.
12:56
Speaker 2: Get a ring. And they didn't get one. I would
12:59
Speaker 2: think that they may have a case. Well, this is
13:01
Speaker 2: the first time a championship ring resembled this iPhone, you know,
13:07
Speaker 2: Apple's foldable iPhone that everybody was online on Friday to get.
13:12
Speaker 2: I mean, can you describe the ring, Natalie? Because you
13:16
Speaker 2: have obsessed on it. I haven't seen it in person,
13:19
Speaker 2: but I can tell it is. elevate so you could
13:22
Speaker 2: see the whole Madison Square Garden. Then you can open
13:25
Speaker 2: it up and look inside the court. Yeah, and they
13:29
Speaker 2: have baskets and everything. Yeah, little people running around. Anyway,
13:35
Speaker 2: this will be a controversy now for a while. Want
13:37
Speaker 2: to get some talkbacks?
13:38
Speaker 9: Here we go.
13:39
Speaker 7: Heard about the new terminal. They're doing a tunnel from
13:42
Speaker 7: Jersey to New York. Why wouldn't they wait for that
13:45
Speaker 7: to be completed first, right? That looks like common sense.
13:48
Speaker 7: I know there's a lot of moving parts. And $ 11
13:50
Speaker 7: billion are taxes at work.
13:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's money, money, money, money, money.
13:56
Speaker 1: They got to get the federal money while they can
13:59
Speaker 1: or it might go away.
14:01
Speaker 2: Trump should come out and say how he'll do the
14:03
Speaker 2: Port Authority in two and a half to three years
14:06
Speaker 2: at half the cost. Yeah, as long as they rename
14:09
Speaker 2: the Port Authority building the Trump building. Might be worth it.
14:14
Speaker 2: That'll be a guarantee. I was just listening.
14:16
Speaker 8: I don't think you guys should use consummated relationship. I
14:20
Speaker 8: think you have a great conjugal relationship.
14:24
Speaker 2: I concur. The two C's, consummate and conjugal.
14:27
Speaker 1: You're never getting away from it.
14:30
Speaker 2: I was going to agree with him, but I was
14:31
Speaker 2: going to say I agree. It's too fast. I didn't
14:34
Speaker 2: know where he was going with that.
14:35
Speaker 1: No.
14:37
Speaker 8: I think one of the reasons why we're not seeing
14:39
Speaker 8: a lot of young candidates in the Republican Party is
14:42
Speaker 8: because the young are dumb. Unfortunately, it's terrible to say,
14:46
Speaker 8: but it's true. They think socialism is great.
14:51
Speaker 3: And that's who they're pulling towards.
14:53
Speaker 8: And it's sad.
14:55
Speaker 3: They really should go to the socialist country for one
14:57
Speaker 3: week and see what it's really like.
14:59
Speaker 2: The young are dumb. Yeah, you're really going to attract
15:03
Speaker 2: a lot of young people after that statement. How ridiculous.
15:06
Speaker 2: The majority of the voters now are 30 to like 44.
15:11
Speaker 2: So if you label them dumb. you push them over
15:14
Speaker 2: to the Democratic side. And there's a lot of young,
15:17
Speaker 2: brilliant Republicans. The Democratic Socialists that you're talking about, they're
15:21
Speaker 2: all on one side, not on the Republican side. Now
15:24
Speaker 2: let's give away some tickets.

Speaker 6: looks to shore up support for GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers.
17:51
Speaker 6: Rogers is locked in a tight race with Democrat Abdul El-Sayed.
17:57
Speaker 3: That's NBC's Michael Kastner. Attorney General Todd Blanch is standing
18:02
Speaker 3: behind a Justice Department lawsuit which would block Alaska's Senate
18:06
Speaker 3: election results if Republican Dan Sullivan is not re-elected. The
18:10
Speaker 3: lawsuit alleges that another Republican challenger, Daniel J. Sullivan, only
18:15
Speaker 3: entered the race to confuse voters. Israelis will vote tomorrow
18:18
Speaker 3: to decide if Benjamin Netanyahu will get another term as
18:21
Speaker 3: prime minister. And have you bought a lottery ticket lately?
18:24
Speaker 3: A lot of us have. In fact, people are spending
18:26
Speaker 3: more money lately. LendingTree says the average American spent $ 323
18:30
Speaker 3: on them last year. With that in mind, tonight's Powerball
18:34
Speaker 3: will be for at least $ 687 million. Tomorrow's Mega Millions,
18:38
Speaker 3: at least $ 443 million. The Giants win, the Jets, the Knicks,
18:43
Speaker 3: the Nets, and the Islanders all lost. Next news, 9
18:47
Speaker 3: o'clock bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
18:51
Speaker 2: Thanks, Daria.
18:52
Speaker 1: Congratulations to Susan Chimdemi from Bardonia, New York, who just
18:57
Speaker 1: won a pair of tickets to see comedian John Mulaney's
19:01
Speaker 1: final stop on his nine-night, nine-venue Mulaney Takes Manhattan tour.
19:08
Speaker 1: One of the best comics in America. Susan, you're going
19:10
Speaker 1: to love it. January 15th at Madison Square Garden. You
19:14
Speaker 1: get another chance to win tomorrow at 825. When we
19:18
Speaker 1: come back, well... Daria just talked about a second ago
19:21
Speaker 1: they're going to be choosing a new prime minister in
19:24
Speaker 1: Israel and wait till you hear about the latest ad.
19:28
Speaker 1: We'll tell you about it when we come back.
19:31
Speaker 2: Just a few hours with the start of 7 a.m.
19:35
Speaker 2: on the Israeli side. I figure they're like seven, eight
19:38
Speaker 2: hours ahead of us. There will be the election to
19:41
Speaker 2: determine who will be the next prime minister or also
19:46
Speaker 2: who will be the members of the Knesset, their legislatures.
19:50
Speaker 2: So their election begins Tuesday morning, 7 a.m. Their time
19:54
Speaker 2: goes to 10 p.m. Now, this is interesting, Larry. Again,
19:58
Speaker 2: who qualifies to vote? Got to be 18 or older.
20:01
Speaker 2: You must present at the polling location a valid ID,
20:06
Speaker 2: a passport, a driver's license, or an Israeli ID card. Again,
20:11
Speaker 2: all these places, Brazil, France, Israel, you got to present
20:17
Speaker 2: valid ID. The ones who might make a difference is
20:21
Speaker 2: the Arab coalition. They're 20% of the vote. Those are
20:24
Speaker 2: Palestinian Muslims and Palestinian Christians. They do serve in the Knesset.
20:29
Speaker 2: They'll probably generally win about 12 to 14 seats. There
20:32
Speaker 2: are 160 seats up for grabs. And to win, you
20:36
Speaker 2: must have 61. Now, nobody, Larry, has ever in the
20:41
Speaker 2: single first level of a race ever won 61, which
20:46
Speaker 2: would mean, okay, whether it's BB or his adversaries, They're
20:50
Speaker 2: the prime minister. They have the cabinet positions. So what
20:54
Speaker 2: is interesting is that once it finishes, whoever finishes first
20:59
Speaker 2: and gets closest, they have seven days to put together
21:03
Speaker 2: a government. If they can't put together a majority, which
21:06
Speaker 2: are the 61 seats, then whoever finished second, they have
21:10
Speaker 2: seven days. And if that person can't do it, whoever
21:13
Speaker 2: finished third. So the process could take weeks, months or
21:18
Speaker 2: longer to form a new government. But at the very
21:21
Speaker 2: last second, BB and the far right, which is his coalition,
21:26
Speaker 2: have put out an advertisement that takes us back to 1964.
21:31
Speaker 2: When LBJ had an advertisement, by the way, he never
21:35
Speaker 2: paid for it to run on TV. All the news
21:38
Speaker 2: stations carried it because it was so provocative. Remember the
21:41
Speaker 2: little blonde-haired girls counting daisies? And then all of a
21:45
Speaker 2: sudden a nuclear bomb is dropped because he was implying
21:50
Speaker 2: that Barry Goldwater, the Republican candidate, would drop the bomb
21:55
Speaker 2: and we would have Armageddon. Well, Bibi has an ad
21:59
Speaker 2: now in which you just have a nuclear bomb plume
22:03
Speaker 2: over Israel, indicating that without putting my team in, my
22:09
Speaker 2: parliamentary team led by me, the Prime Minister Bibi, is
22:13
Speaker 2: a very good chance that Israel, the size of New Jersey,
22:17
Speaker 2: will be incinerated from the Golan Heights in the north
22:20
Speaker 2: to a lot in the south. We'll see if that
22:24
Speaker 2: works like it definitely did in 1964, because poor Goldwater,
22:29
Speaker 2: who would not have not have done that, had to
22:32
Speaker 2: carry that on his back throughout the election. And obviously,
22:35
Speaker 2: Lyndon Baines Johnson trounced him. More on that ad in.
22:39
Speaker 1: One second, because it's the most famous ad in political history.
22:42
Speaker 1: It did run once. It was paid for and ran once.
22:46
Speaker 1: And then it was polled.
22:47
Speaker 2: And you're right.
22:48
Speaker 1: Right after it ran that first time, it was ran
22:51
Speaker 1: by news programs over and over and over again. It's
22:57
Speaker 1: called the Daisy ad. And it was a little girl
23:00
Speaker 1: picking petals off a daisy, counting backwards. And when she
23:06
Speaker 1: got near the end, of course, there was a nuclear explosion.
23:08
Speaker 1: It's an amazing ad. And you study it. When you're
23:12
Speaker 1: in college, you study that ad. It was so powerful.
23:15
Speaker 1: And so unfair to Barry Goldwater. It was.
23:18
Speaker 2: It was. But politics is unfair. The defining difference here, Larry,
23:23
Speaker 2: is that, you know, a lot of people have dual
23:26
Speaker 2: citizenship from different countries. So let's say you were from
23:29
Speaker 2: the Dominican Republic. You could vote if you had dual
23:32
Speaker 2: citizenship in the DR for a presidential candidate in the
23:36
Speaker 2: DR from a New York location. In Israel, no. There
23:40
Speaker 2: are 630,000 Israels who live abroad. That's about 6% of
23:45
Speaker 2: the total Israeli population. It's not a large population. But
23:49
Speaker 2: 50,000 are planning to fly in. You must be present
23:54
Speaker 2: at a polling location. There's no mail-in ballots. There's no affidavits.
23:59
Speaker 2: There's no absentee ballots. You have to be in person
24:02
Speaker 2: and show your ID to cast your ballot. Why does every.
24:06
Speaker 1: country in the world know how to run elections except us.
24:10
Speaker 2: And not only that but israel is saying okay you're
24:12
Speaker 2: still an israeli citizen you might be working somewhere else
24:15
Speaker 2: but if you're gonna vote you're entitled to vote you
24:18
Speaker 2: must be present on the only day that you can vote.
24:21
Speaker 1: Which is tomorrow which by the way That should be
24:25
Speaker 1: the law here. That's the way we should run elections here,
24:28
Speaker 1: like we used to run elections. There was never any
24:32
Speaker 1: talk about, oh, there's a national fraud. There are some
24:36
Speaker 1: cities that were a little corrupt, like Chicago and Philadelphia.
24:39
Speaker 1: But there was no allegations of all that stuff. I
24:42
Speaker 1: love that you just said that because it is in
24:45
Speaker 1: country after country after country. They look at us and go,
24:48
Speaker 1: they're nuts.
24:48
Speaker 2: They're crazy. Democracy, right? Democracy, Brazil, France. And by the way,
24:54
Speaker 2: they'll have their results Tuesday night by 12, and then
24:58
Speaker 2: they have to go into the next rounds, as I described.
25:01
Speaker 2: But it is great. And what it will be, because
25:03
Speaker 2: when I was there, I've been there three times. The
25:06
Speaker 2: biggest arguments amongst Israelis, not about, you know, all their
25:10
Speaker 2: enemies in the Middle East and Persian Gulf, is the
25:13
Speaker 2: religious sector versus the secular sector. So you will hear
25:18
Speaker 2: people who are secular say, oh, we serve in the military.
25:22
Speaker 2: We pay taxes so that the ultra-Orthodox can have babies.
25:26
Speaker 2: They average about seven children. The average Israeli who's secular,
25:30
Speaker 2: typical of the United States, like one and a half
25:32
Speaker 2: to two kids because, hey, you know it's costly. But
25:36
Speaker 2: you see, the government underwrites the ultra-Orthodox. They are supporting
25:40
Speaker 2: Bibi because so far he's gone along with that. But
25:43
Speaker 2: there are a lot of these parties who are saying
25:45
Speaker 2: enough is enough. Our boys, our girls are in the
25:48
Speaker 2: front line, secular. They're dying. And the ultra-Orthodox, all they
25:51
Speaker 2: get to do is daven, you know, with the Torah
25:54
Speaker 2: and the Talmud all day.
25:55
Speaker 1: That's got to stop. Let's get down to the important stuff,
25:58
Speaker 1: the really important stuff. Who's going to win? So I
26:01
Speaker 1: went to, of course, the source of all sources when
26:04
Speaker 1: it comes to politics, Cauchy and Polymarket.
26:07
Speaker 2: And guess what they're saying? I have no idea. You're
26:10
Speaker 2: the expert on this.
26:11
Speaker 1: They both say that Gadi Eizenkot is going to win,
26:16
Speaker 1: and he's going to win substantially. 58% on Kaushik say
26:21
Speaker 1: he's going to win to 24% for Netanyahu. And then
26:25
Speaker 1: on Polymarket, it's 62%.
26:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you see, I don't think they're taking into
26:30
Speaker 2: consideration the parliamentary form of government and how you know,
26:35
Speaker 2: it becomes quid pro quo. They trade, you know, seats
26:37
Speaker 2: and that. Look.
26:38
Speaker 1: You don't think the people with money on the line
26:40
Speaker 1: studied that at all when they put thousands of.
26:43
Speaker 2: Dollars on it? It's hard to understand, to be honest.
26:45
Speaker 2: I had to study it. I had to study it.
26:47
Speaker 2: But Gotti, who's the former military chief of staff, not
26:50
Speaker 2: Gotti like John Gotti, but Gotti, he's not very vibrant.
26:56
Speaker 2: I've seen him in his presentations. Now, I don't understand Hebrew,
27:00
Speaker 2: as he was talking in Hebrew, but The difference between
27:03
Speaker 2: him and Bibi. Bibi is firing brimstone. Gaddy, not so much.
27:08
Speaker 2: So we will know probably by tomorrow. We'll have a
27:11
Speaker 2: good idea what turnout is. But it is another close race.
27:15
Speaker 2: Brazil is close. France will be close. Trump versus Biden
27:20
Speaker 2: 2020 was close. And this one will be close. A
27:23
Speaker 2: knuckle biter.
27:24
Speaker 1: By the way, they do understand it because there's separate
27:26
Speaker 1: voting on the parliamentarian election. So they have like four
27:30
Speaker 1: or five different things you can vote on. Trust me,
27:33
Speaker 1: the people that vote, the people that spend money, they
27:36
Speaker 1: absolutely know what they're talking about.
27:39
Speaker 2: Up next, you know what we're going to be discussing here.
27:44
Speaker 2: You know what's happening tomorrow. You have any idea, Larry? No,
27:48
Speaker 2: go ahead and tell me. That's a good idea. I'm actually,
27:51
Speaker 2: I'm so Israeli-centric here, I forgot. Natalie, what are we
27:55
Speaker 2: getting into? You were just going to me. Of course.
27:59
Speaker 2: I was passing the baton. We'll catch up. We'll catch
28:02
Speaker 2: up with you in just a few minutes about what's
28:05
Speaker 2: going on tomorrow. The president of the United States, Donald J. Trump,
28:10
Speaker 2: will be flexing in Mississippi today on behalf of all
28:14
Speaker 2: the Republicans on the ticket there. from Senate to governor
28:18
Speaker 2: to all the congressional districts. Do you think, because it's
28:22
Speaker 2: not really a place where you're going to label the Democrats,
28:26
Speaker 2: you know, jihadist, socialist Democrats. They're pretty much all moderate Democrats,
28:32
Speaker 2: a lot of African Americans. So do we think he's
28:36
Speaker 2: going to go full throttle against Harris, who was there
28:41
Speaker 2: like a week ago? Oh, sure, sure, sure.
28:43
Speaker 1: He's going to make fun of him. Because the crowd
28:45
Speaker 1: is going to love him. the crowd that's there is
28:47
Speaker 1: going to love him. So he absolutely is going to.
28:51
Speaker 1: Can we talk about for a second what's happening across
28:53
Speaker 1: the country right now? Because it really does warm my heart.
28:57
Speaker 1: The number of people that are voting early, you know,
29:01
Speaker 1: usually in a midterm election, people aren't really that interested.
29:05
Speaker 1: And the voter turnout is low. It's usually less than 50%.
29:08
Speaker 2: Hits 50%. That's great.
29:09
Speaker 1: This time, Like in Texas, 2.8 million people have already voted.
29:18
Speaker 1: In New Jersey, in New York, 175,000 more than the
29:25
Speaker 1: last midterm. I don't care what people are voting for.
29:29
Speaker 2: Well, I do care.
29:30
Speaker 1: But what is more important to me is that people
29:34
Speaker 1: are taking part in the process. And now the question becomes, why?
29:40
Speaker 1: Why are there more people? Is it because of just
29:42
Speaker 1: the media coverage? Is it because of the Democratic machine
29:48
Speaker 1: getting people out? Or is it the Republican machine? And
29:51
Speaker 1: is it Donald Trump? Is it his effect? My feeling
29:54
Speaker 1: is it probably varies from state to state to state.
29:57
Speaker 1: But they're setting records in Kansas. They got double the
30:01
Speaker 1: number of people from the last midterm election.
30:05
Speaker 2: So, wow.
30:06
Speaker 1: I mean, this really gives me more faith in the
30:10
Speaker 1: election process.
30:11
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you why. If you've ever walked into
30:14
Speaker 2: some of these polling locations during early voting, and you
30:18
Speaker 2: look at the poll watches, because you have to have
30:20
Speaker 2: one Democrat, one Republican for each congressional district, or ED
30:24
Speaker 2: as they call it. You're like, how many people have
30:27
Speaker 2: come in today? Maybe five.
30:29
Speaker 7: Yeah.
30:29
Speaker 2: That's at lunchtime. This is great. They're taking advantage of
30:33
Speaker 2: what costs us a lot of money, Larry. This costs
30:36
Speaker 2: a lot of money. The taxpayers have like early voting
30:39
Speaker 2: 10 days, you know, mail-in ballots, absentee ballots, all of
30:44
Speaker 2: these things to try to nourish the vote. We just
30:47
Speaker 2: described all these other countries. One day, one day only.
30:50
Speaker 2: They don't have absentee ballots. They don't have mail-in ballots.
30:53
Speaker 2: And if we don't have a sizable number of people
30:56
Speaker 2: taking advantage of this, I say to myself, why are
30:59
Speaker 2: we knocking ourselves out and costing ourselves so much money
31:04
Speaker 2: if less people are showing up than really should be
31:06
Speaker 2: taking advantage of this? Well, now they are.
31:09
Speaker 1: I mean, the amount of interest in this election... is immense.
31:16
Speaker 1: It's more than I've remembered in a midterm election, probably
31:20
Speaker 1: in my lifetime. I'm going to have to go back
31:22
Speaker 1: and figure that out, what compares to this. I think
31:26
Speaker 1: it's incomparable. I'm not sure we've ever seen this. We
31:30
Speaker 1: may get over 60%. If this keeps up, unless there's
31:35
Speaker 1: people voting now that normally would vote on election day,
31:38
Speaker 1: then it's going to cancel each other out. But if
31:41
Speaker 1: this keeps up, We might have a record-setting midterm election,
31:45
Speaker 1: and how wonderful would that be that people are once
31:48
Speaker 1: again getting involved in the process? Forget who wins and
31:51
Speaker 1: who loses. The fact that Americans are now getting out
31:54
Speaker 1: there and voting is a plus, a wonderful thing no
31:57
Speaker 1: matter what.
31:58
Speaker 2: Oh, exactly, as opposed to 2020, the lockdown and pandemic,
32:01
Speaker 2: when so many Americans for the very first time were told,
32:04
Speaker 2: you've got to vote by mail-in ballot. And it was
32:07
Speaker 2: an extraordinarily turned-out-of-votes period. But that's not really what we
32:12
Speaker 2: want to see. We want to see people take advantage
32:15
Speaker 2: of all the options, let the vote be counted accurately
32:19
Speaker 2: and fairly, and then to those that have worked hard,
32:23
Speaker 2: because they're all working hard. There's no doubt. Every one
32:25
Speaker 2: of these candidates, every one of their campaigns, all their
32:28
Speaker 2: volunteers are working very, very hard. Well, not Cory Booker. No.
32:33
Speaker 2: He's mailed it in. There are a few others.
32:37
Speaker 1: There's a bunch that have mailed it in because they
32:39
Speaker 1: know they can win That shocks me how many Senate
32:42
Speaker 1: seats haven't had debates, and it's for that reason.
32:44
Speaker 2: To be a mandatory two debates for every race. And
32:48
Speaker 2: the Talkback of the Morning and winner of the Curtis
32:50
Speaker 2: Lee with Larry Mendte in the morning t-shirt, and now
32:53
Speaker 2: in the running for Talkback of the Week, who will
32:56
Speaker 2: win a C-Crane radio, seem to be happy. that yours truly,
33:00
Speaker 2: Curtis Lee, lost the race for mayor. Oof-ah!
33:04
Speaker 8: Curtis, not that I'm glad you lost the election. If
33:09
Speaker 8: I were a New York resident, I would have voted
33:11
Speaker 8: for you for sure. However, what your losing did for me,
33:16
Speaker 8: where I benefited, is I can now listen to you
33:19
Speaker 8: and Larry as the best consummated team on radio.
33:24
Speaker 2: Stop with the consummated already. Okay, so it's conjugated. No,
33:29
Speaker 2: it's not conjugated. Yes, conjugated. But anyway, that was brilliant
33:36
Speaker 2: of her. Brilliant, she's right. She's right. I'm now a verb.
