Latest / Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning / Hour 2: Ed Sheeran concert
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: This issue of Macklemore separating from the tour, it was
- 0:05Speaker 1: the opening act for Ed Sheeran, continues to grow and
- 0:09Speaker 1: grow and grow. It has a global following now. Everybody's
- 0:14Speaker 1: weighing in on it one way or the other. It's
- 0:16Speaker 1: like nobody's saying, no biggie. They're all weighing in on it.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Our friend here, Larry Menti, is not just going to
- 0:25Speaker 1: weigh in on it with your opinion. You're putting your
- 0:27Speaker 1: money where your mouth is. You're going to Lincoln Field, Philadelphia,
- 0:33Speaker 1: Saturday night, big concert, a lot of focus and attention.
- 0:38Speaker 1: Let me give you an idea who you may meet outside, okay, outside.
- 0:41Speaker 1: The pro-pally groups have already summoned people from around the region,
- 0:46Speaker 1: the Flyer Reads. Gaza is our compass. Billionaires, Zionists, and
- 0:51Speaker 1: warmongers out of Philadelphia. Will you confront them on your
- 0:56Speaker 1: way in or are you just going to go to
- 0:57Speaker 1: your seat and enjoy the concert?
- 0:59Speaker 2: I think they'll be kept from me because what you
- 1:02Speaker 2: haven't read is that there's going to be an army
- 1:05Speaker 2: of Philadelphia police. Jeffrey Lurie has already called the city
- 1:09Speaker 2: and the police have said the use of the word
- 1:12Speaker 2: army is theirs. The police force said there will be
- 1:15Speaker 2: an army of Philadelphia police. At the concert, in the
- 1:19Speaker 2: venue and outside the venue. So unlike New York that
- 1:24Speaker 2: sometimes doesn't handle these things, other cities do. And so
- 1:28Speaker 2: I think that they'll be kept far, far away and
- 1:32Speaker 2: they're not going to be able to get anywhere near
- 1:34Speaker 2: the people going in. They're not going to get near
- 1:36Speaker 2: the cars. They're not going to get near the venue.
- 1:38Speaker 2: They're not going to get inside.
- 1:40Speaker 3: We'll see.
- 1:40Speaker 2: I mean, look, you're not supposed to have signs inside.
- 1:43Speaker 2: So we'll see if any of the signs make it inside.
- 1:48Speaker 2: But it is fascinating to me how Ed Sheeran now,
- 1:55Speaker 2: who has spent his entire life trying not to be controversial–
- 2:01Speaker 2: Staying out of things. He even put out a statement saying, listen,
- 2:04Speaker 2: I have political opinions, too. I just don't express them
- 2:08Speaker 2: on stage or through my music. And so and I
- 2:12Speaker 2: think that's what people appreciate about him. That's why we're going.
- 2:16Speaker 1: You see, I think what's happened here, whereas initially Ed
- 2:20Speaker 1: Sheeran decided to heed the warnings from the venue owners
- 2:26Speaker 1: led by Robert Kraft. Robert Kraft has admitted he got
- 2:29Speaker 1: on the phone. He didn't just tell Ed Sheeran, I'm
- 2:32Speaker 1: not going to let you use Gillette Stadium. That's the
- 2:35Speaker 1: next venue he would have gone to with the whole entourage,
- 2:38Speaker 1: including Macklemore.
- 2:40Speaker 3: Two dates. I'm not going to let you use it.
- 2:42Speaker 1: And there are others who have joined me and they're
- 2:44Speaker 1: not going to let you use it as long as
- 2:46Speaker 1: Macklemore is on the tour. And that's when Ed Sheeran said, well,
- 2:50Speaker 1: it was the promoters. The promoters made the decision that
- 2:54Speaker 1: Macklemore had to go. I think what has happened is
- 2:57Speaker 1: it isn't so much Ed Sheeran. He'll survive this. It's
- 3:00Speaker 1: not a problem, but he's going to get hammered along
- 3:03Speaker 1: the way. Bob Kraft doesn't realize this. He's made Macklemore
- 3:08Speaker 1: a martyr. If you notice, Macklemore isn't saying anything else.
- 3:12Speaker 3: Yeah, for the crazies, he's made him a martyr. I know,
- 3:14Speaker 3: but he's going to be a martyr. This is my prediction.
- 3:17Speaker 3: I could be totally wrong on this. You know, B.B.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Is set to speak at the– General Assembly United Nations
- 3:26Speaker 1: on next Thursday, the 24th, towards the end of it.
- 3:29Speaker 1: I wouldn't doubt that Macklemore shows up at one of
- 3:32Speaker 1: these many anti-BB demonstrations and puts on a free performance,
- 3:36Speaker 1: which will gin up the crowd.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Maybe.
- 3:39Speaker 3: I mean, but who cares? But he's a martyr right now.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Yes, except that what you're not talking about is the
- 3:44Speaker 2: fact that people like me now want to support Ed
- 3:48Speaker 2: Sheeran more than ever. This happens all the time with
- 3:51Speaker 2: the far left. They think because they're the loudest voices
- 3:55Speaker 2: and they make the most noise that they're in the minority.
- 3:59Speaker 3: They never are.
- 4:00Speaker 2: And that's why I'm always suspicious of polls because Republicans
- 4:07Speaker 2: are undercounted always by two to three points. Remember when
- 4:11Speaker 2: the Hillary Clinton-Trump race happened?
- 4:16Speaker 3: She was shocked. He was shocked.
- 4:19Speaker 2: He didn't think he was going to win because the
- 4:21Speaker 2: polls didn't show you what was happening because Republicans and conservatives,
- 4:28Speaker 2: they keep quiet.
- 4:29Speaker 3: They just take action. You know why?
- 4:30Speaker 2: Because they're too busy with their jobs. They're too busy working.
- 4:34Speaker 2: Everybody else out on the streets apparently has all this
- 4:36Speaker 2: free time in the world. But no, they're too busy
- 4:39Speaker 2: with their jobs and they get out and work. So
- 4:41Speaker 2: you watch this Ed Sheeran concert tonight. It already is
- 4:44Speaker 2: a sellout. There's going to be people trying to get
- 4:46Speaker 2: tickets because they want to support him.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Now, though, this is what they're saying about the remaining
- 4:52Speaker 1: dates in North America, which includes Lincoln Field that you're
- 4:55Speaker 1: going to Saturday night in Philly. Fans are demanding refunds
- 5:00Speaker 1: after Macklemore was pulled.
- 5:02Speaker 3: So you'll be able to.
- 5:03Speaker 1: See that if there are any empty seats and ticket
- 5:05Speaker 1: prices have dropped. after all the groups dropped out from
- 5:10Speaker 1: Ed Sheeran. I read the exact same article you just read.
- 5:13Speaker 1: I read the exact same article. I don't buy any
- 5:16Speaker 1: of it. And they quote, They've dropped as low as $ 70. No,
- 5:19Speaker 1: I've been checking tickets. $ 70 is on the very top
- 5:23Speaker 1: row to the side. $ 70, which would normally be the
- 5:27Speaker 1: price of one of those tickets. I think people are
- 5:29Speaker 1: trying to use their own political opinions to stir up something,
- 5:35Speaker 1: and it happens in newsrooms all the time. That was,
- 5:38Speaker 1: if you read the same article, it was from NBC10.
- 5:41Speaker 1: And trust me, I used to work at NBC10, and
- 5:43Speaker 1: I know the people that are writing those articles. And
- 5:47Speaker 1: So they're looking– I'm not saying they're biased, but I'm
- 5:49Speaker 1: saying they're looking for a story.
- 5:51Speaker 2: So they went into it thinking, oh, guess what? People
- 5:54Speaker 2: are going to be not going to the concert tonight
- 5:57Speaker 2: because they support Macklemore and they write the piece to
- 6:01Speaker 2: support what their opinion is.
- 6:03Speaker 1: But I want to take your pulse. Would there be
- 6:06Speaker 1: any price that would be too high for you to
- 6:09Speaker 1: show support for Ed Sheeran tonight? at Lincoln Field on
- 6:13Speaker 1: Saturday night.
- 6:14Speaker 3: Let's assume the prices actually were going up.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Okay, you're driving me crazy. It's Lincoln Financial Field, and
- 6:19Speaker 2: it's Ed Sheeran.
- 6:20Speaker 3: Ed Sheeran.
- 6:22Speaker 1: But just imagine if the price of a ticket skyrocketed
- 6:25Speaker 1: to like $ 1, 250. Would that prevent you from showing support
- 6:29Speaker 1: and being in solidarity in that stadium?
- 6:32Speaker 3: Well, yes, and you know why?
- 6:33Speaker 2: Because then I'd know, well, look, he's getting so much support,
- 6:37Speaker 2: the ticket prices are going up high. They don't need me. But,
- 6:41Speaker 2: you know, Dawn feels the same way. She's going to
- 6:43Speaker 2: just to support Ed Sheeran. And she'll be talking about
- 6:46Speaker 2: her on the air and trying to get other people
- 6:48Speaker 2: to go and show support. Well, I think that what
- 6:51Speaker 2: nobody realizes is there's two sides to this. And there's
- 6:55Speaker 2: a side that's like, this is unfair. This is the
- 6:59Speaker 2: left trying to now impose themselves in everything. And there's
- 7:04Speaker 2: going to be a backlash to it. And that's the
- 7:06Speaker 2: whole reason I'm going.
- 7:08Speaker 1: Well, it's a generational thing. I keep telling you this, Larry.
- 7:11Speaker 1: When you're talking about people under 30, they firmly stack
- 7:16Speaker 1: up with Macklemore. Firmly, without a doubt. You'll see very,
- 7:20Speaker 1: very few of the Gen Zers who are saying, oh.
- 7:23Speaker 1: I'm going to stick with it. What's his name again?
- 7:25Speaker 1: I keep missing out.
- 7:26Speaker 3: It's Sheeran.
- 7:26Speaker 4: Right.
- 7:27Speaker 2: No N. No second N.
- 7:28Speaker 3: So I would say.
- 7:29Speaker 1: It's more, again, of a generational split like it is
- 7:31Speaker 1: with our politics, like it is with most things taking
- 7:35Speaker 1: place around the country and around the world.
- 7:37Speaker 3: But we'll see because you're going to have eyeballs right there.
- 7:39Speaker 1: What I want to compare it to, because the other day,
- 7:42Speaker 1: yesterday you played the cut of AOC, all out crazy,
- 7:45Speaker 1: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez being asked. If you were in the car, AOC,
- 7:51Speaker 1: and the Ed Sheeran song came on, would you listen
- 7:54Speaker 1: to it?
- 7:55Speaker 3: And she said, absolutely not. Well, let me tell you this.
- 7:58Speaker 1: If I were AOC, and I don't share her opinion,
- 8:01Speaker 1: if Bad Habits was on or Shape of You, these
- 8:04Speaker 1: danceable songs that I love, you're damn right I'd be
- 8:07Speaker 1: listening to it.
- 8:08Speaker 3: Come on. That's a song that's in your head. The
- 8:11Speaker 3: same way.
- 8:11Speaker 1: Now, you can make the argument about Roger Waters and
- 8:14Speaker 1: Pink Floyd. He clearly was anti-Semitic. I mean, he crossed
- 8:18Speaker 1: the line. Well, I've talked to so many Jewish people
- 8:22Speaker 1: who grew up in my era because, you know, it's
- 8:23Speaker 1: a baby boomer thing. I mean, Pink Floyd, The Dark
- 8:26Speaker 1: Side of the Moon. I played that final so many
- 8:28Speaker 1: times I wore it out. If that came on classic
- 8:32Speaker 1: rock now. You know how many Jewish people would listen
- 8:35Speaker 1: to it? They hate Roger Waters, but they.
- 8:38Speaker 3: Love the music. I think you can separate both. But no,
- 8:43Speaker 3: I won't listen to it. The Ride of the Valkyries, right?
- 8:46Speaker 2: Oh, no, everybody can separate. Everybody can separate. But maybe
- 8:50Speaker 2: you're leaving out the most famous one ever. The most
- 8:53Speaker 2: famous one ever was when the Beatles were on their
- 8:56Speaker 2: American tour and they were down in Texas. And John
- 9:00Speaker 2: Lennon said, we are now more popular than Jesus Christ.
- 9:03Speaker 2: And he was saying it in ridicule of people that
- 9:07Speaker 2: were following them, not to take a blast at Jesus
- 9:11Speaker 2: Christ or to ingratiate himself. And yet he said it.
- 9:15Speaker 2: And yet he said it.
- 9:16Speaker 1: Was that before or after he smoked a joint? Because
- 9:19Speaker 1: I think he actually believed it. I think he actually believed.
- 9:22Speaker 1: And then they banned them, remember, on radio stations. They
- 9:26Speaker 1: wouldn't play. Some venues wouldn't have them. And then he basically,
- 9:29Speaker 1: it's a joke.
- 9:30Speaker 3: It's a joke. I really didn't mean that. Yeah, but in.
- 9:34Speaker 2: Interviews since then, you know, he has said many times,
- 9:37Speaker 2: I was talking about this is ridiculous. Look at the
- 9:40Speaker 2: way all of these people are praising us and yelling
- 9:43Speaker 2: for us.
- 9:43Speaker 3: This is ridiculous.
- 9:44Speaker 2: We're now more popular than Jesus Christ, which was complacent.
- 9:48Speaker 2: Completely taken out of context, but that's okay.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Wouldn't you have loved to have been in that room
- 9:54Speaker 1: with the other three Beatles, when they were getting all
- 9:56Speaker 1: that blowback?
- 9:58Speaker 3: John, did you have to bring up Jesus? Of all
- 10:03Speaker 3: the people. Imagine the manager. In Texas. Exactly. Of all places.
- 10:10Speaker 2: Yeah, well, lesson coming up, a very special guest, Ann-Margaret Carrozza,
- 10:14Speaker 2: host of WOR's Law of Your Money on what you
- 10:18Speaker 2: need to know when your adult children.
- 10:22Speaker 3: Move back home.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Man, this is happening more and more across the country.
- 10:27Speaker 2: This is important information.
- 10:29Speaker 3: Plus, a chance to see Richard Marks at 8.24. Happy
- 10:33Speaker 3: to have Ann-Margaret.
- 10:34Speaker 2: Carrozza, host of The Laws of Your Money with Ann-Margaret Carrozza,
- 10:39Speaker 2: which could be heard on WOR Sundays at 10.30 in
- 10:43Speaker 2: the morning. Ann-Margaret Carrozza is an asset protection attorney who
- 10:48Speaker 2: served for 14 years as a New York State legislator,
- 10:52Speaker 2: where she chaired the Trust Reform Task Force. By the way,
- 10:58Speaker 2: I'll give you this address again at the very end.
- 11:00Speaker 2: But if you want to reach out to Ann Margaret,
- 11:03Speaker 2: it's mylawyerann.com. That's mylawyerann.com. So, Ann Margaret, thanks as always.
- 11:11Speaker 5: Thank you, guys.
- 11:12Speaker 2: Thank you for being in here today. This is something
- 11:15Speaker 2: that's happening a lot. Children are moving back in with
- 11:18Speaker 2: their parents. So take us through the legal do's and don'ts,
- 11:24Speaker 2: what we should be setting up for.
- 11:27Speaker 5: Well, this is a trend that we expect to really
- 11:31Speaker 5: increase with the yield on the 10-year Treasury at a
- 11:35Speaker 5: 20-year high. That is directly correlated with interest rates on
- 11:40Speaker 5: revolving credit card debt, private student loans, auto loans. So
- 11:46Speaker 5: if you haven't gotten a call from an adult child,
- 11:49Speaker 5: you may very soon that they're struggling financially and they
- 11:54Speaker 5: need to come live with mom and.
- 11:55Speaker 3: Dad for a little while.
- 11:58Speaker 5: So it's super important to set up some do's and
- 12:03Speaker 5: don'ts within the household. Can the adult child contribute anything financially? Groceries, utilities?
- 12:11Speaker 5: What are they going to be doing around the house?
- 12:14Speaker 5: Are they going to take garbage out, et cetera? Because
- 12:17Speaker 5: the tendency is to be super nice and accommodating in
- 12:21Speaker 5: the beginning, and then you're stuck doing laundry again and
- 12:26Speaker 5: cooking again for these adult children.
- 12:29Speaker 2: I've gone through that exact same thing where one parent–
- 12:35Speaker 2: would like to set rules, the other parent says, no, no, no,
- 12:39Speaker 2: just whatever you want, do whatever you want.
- 12:41Speaker 3: I think that might happen a lot. Yes, absolutely.
- 12:44Speaker 5: And it causes conflict.
- 12:46Speaker 1: And what about the situation where one parent is actually
- 12:50Speaker 1: looking forward to the child returning, understanding the problems that
- 12:56Speaker 1: they've had that forced them to return, but the other
- 12:58Speaker 1: parent is saying, when are you going to cut the
- 13:01Speaker 1: apron strings? When are we going to let this kid
- 13:03Speaker 1: get out on their own and realize, you know, when
- 13:06Speaker 1: I was 18, I left the house and I got
- 13:10Speaker 1: my own apartment.
- 13:11Speaker 3: One of those.
- 13:12Speaker 5: Well, Curtis, that is above my pay grade. I stay
- 13:18Speaker 5: in the lane of the legal issues.
- 13:21Speaker 6: And you know what?
- 13:21Speaker 5: Sometimes adult children come home to help the parents, right?
- 13:26Speaker 5: If they need a little bit of help at home.
- 13:28Speaker 5: So I think it is super important when we're in
- 13:32Speaker 5: that situation, permanently or temporarily, we need to look at
- 13:36Speaker 5: the estate planning. Because if my daughter and her two
- 13:40Speaker 5: kids are living with me and the will says everything
- 13:43Speaker 5: three ways... The other two kids are going to want
- 13:46Speaker 5: her to sell right away. It would be great if
- 13:50Speaker 5: I have enough assets to leave the home to the
- 13:53Speaker 5: child that's living there and leave an equivalent amount of
- 13:56Speaker 5: assets to the others. But for most people, the house
- 13:59Speaker 5: is the single biggest asset.
- 14:01Speaker 2: Well, that's perfect for you to be talking about this
- 14:03Speaker 2: because we've mentioned before you were chair of the Trust
- 14:07Speaker 2: Reform Task Force. So you're an expert on this. When
- 14:11Speaker 2: should people think about setting up the trust? And should
- 14:15Speaker 2: they always keep it a secret, that trust, or do
- 14:19Speaker 2: the children have a right to know?
- 14:21Speaker 5: Well, I think it's nice to let the children know
- 14:24Speaker 5: that you've gone that extra step to save them from
- 14:29Speaker 5: an eight-month probate process, right? And if the kids are
- 14:34Speaker 5: not living at home, you're setting up a situation where
- 14:37Speaker 5: where they can't sell it for eight months until the
- 14:40Speaker 5: court finishes the probate, and now you have squatters that
- 14:43Speaker 5: can go into the empty house.
- 14:45Speaker 3: So you want to do a.
- 14:47Speaker 5: Trust to avoid probate, to obviate capital gains taxes for
- 14:53Speaker 5: the kids, and to protect the home from long-term care claims.
- 14:59Speaker 5: Federal law says it must be in the trust for
- 15:02Speaker 5: five years before it's invisible to a nursing home.
- 15:06Speaker 2: You know what I was getting at with the secrecy
- 15:08Speaker 2: of it? Because there can be fights in families when
- 15:12Speaker 2: why is this person getting this?
- 15:13Speaker 3: Why is this person getting this?
- 15:14Speaker 5: Yes, I think there's more than one way to achieve equity.
- 15:18Speaker 5: You can say that the house goes three ways, but
- 15:21Speaker 5: Sally has the right to stay there until her kids
- 15:25Speaker 5: graduate high school or whatever it is. So we don't
- 15:28Speaker 5: want to throw a hand grenade into the life of
- 15:31Speaker 5: the child that's living there.
- 15:33Speaker 2: Yeah, and you want to avoid fights because those three
- 15:35Speaker 2: that you're talking about, Sally and her siblings, that'll be hell.
- 15:40Speaker 3: You're right. It is a hand grenade. That was a
- 15:42Speaker 3: perfect way to put it. Now, the form of rent.
- 15:47Speaker 1: I grew up in a house, this was old school,
- 15:50Speaker 1: where you tried to rent to your family members, immediate
- 15:54Speaker 1: family members, because the idea was you would care for
- 15:57Speaker 1: their parents, my grandparents. It was like almost a quid
- 15:59Speaker 1: pro quo. But if they're not paying rent... or they
- 16:03Speaker 1: can't pay rent, how do you avoid it becoming a
- 16:08Speaker 1: legal issue where all of a sudden.
- 16:11Speaker 3: You're in court on that?
- 16:12Speaker 5: Yeah, Curtis, that happens every week that I see this.
- 16:18Speaker 5: The other kids say, Sally didn't pay rent for 10 years,
- 16:22Speaker 5: so we need to deduct the value from her one-third
- 16:26Speaker 5: share of the house when it sells. And Sally says, well,
- 16:29Speaker 5: my husband cleaned out the gutters and on and on
- 16:32Speaker 5: and on. We enabled mom and dad to stay in
- 16:35Speaker 5: the house longer and we saved nursing home expenses. So
- 16:39Speaker 5: it's really important to sit down and talk it all through.
- 16:44Speaker 2: What happens when parents have to go to the nursing home?
- 16:49Speaker 2: Is there a preparation for that?
- 16:51Speaker 5: Well, hopefully you did a trust five years beforehand so
- 16:56Speaker 5: that the house is invisible.
- 16:59Speaker 3: The house is invisible. Explain that.
- 17:01Speaker 5: So federal law says that a nursing home can put
- 17:05Speaker 5: a lien on your home to pay the bill. And
- 17:09Speaker 5: in our listening area, the cost of a rehab is
- 17:14Speaker 5: $ 16, 000 per month. So you want to protect the house
- 17:19Speaker 5: so that the nursing home is not able to put
- 17:22Speaker 5: a lien on it for the.
- 17:23Speaker 3: $ 16, 000 a month.
- 17:25Speaker 2: Well, you tell me so many things I never knew.
- 17:28Speaker 2: It's really important to listen to her at 1030 and
- 17:31Speaker 2: Margaret Carozza, host of WOR's Laws of Your Money, on
- 17:35Speaker 2: what you need to know. with your adult children. She
- 17:40Speaker 2: just went through all of that. Ann-Margaret Carrozza, Sundays at
- 17:44Speaker 2: 10.30 a.m. You're a wealth of information. Thank you for
- 17:48Speaker 2: being in here today.
- 17:49Speaker 5: Thank you, guys.
- 17:49Speaker 3: Thanks for coming in.
- 17:50Speaker 2: Now let's get to Daria Albinger with the 7.30.
- 17:54Speaker 3: News, Daria.
- 17:55Speaker 4: Morning, guys.
- 17:55Speaker 6: Partly sunny and warm, less humid today. We'll see a
- 17:58Speaker 6: high of 80 degrees. President Trump is weighing his next
- 18:01Speaker 6: actions in Iran.
- 18:03Speaker 7: In an interview with Axios that was published Thursday, Trump
- 18:06Speaker 7: reportedly said, I have a big decision coming up. Do
- 18:09Speaker 7: I want to go in and annihilate them or do
- 18:11Speaker 7: I not? He added, it's a big decision. Anything could
- 18:14Speaker 7: happen with me. Trump is planning to meet with the
- 18:17Speaker 7: leaders from six Gulf countries next week on the sidelines
- 18:19Speaker 7: of the U.N. General Assembly in New York and said
- 18:22Speaker 7: he wants to use the meeting to hear directly from U.S.
- 18:24Speaker 3: Allies in the region. I'm Mark Mayfield.
- 18:27Speaker 6: A human rights panel commissioned by the U.N. says it
- 18:30Speaker 6: has reasonable grounds to believe that the U.S. committed war
- 18:33Speaker 6: crimes in Iran. as two airstrikes on a southern city
- 18:36Speaker 6: in late February killed at least 178 civilians. Officials are
- 18:41Speaker 6: looking into another death at Rikers Island, the eighth this year.
- 18:46Speaker 8: The Department of Correction says 20-year-old Luis Alberto Lopez Castillo
- 18:50Speaker 8: passed away following a court appearance on Wednesday night due
- 18:53Speaker 8: to a medical emergency. Lopez Castillo was in custody in
- 18:56Speaker 8: connection to a botched robbery in September 2025 that ended
- 19:00Speaker 8: in the shooting death of a 26-year-old man with autism.
- 19:04Speaker 8: City Council Member Silvana Brooks-Power said her office will provide
- 19:07Speaker 8: oversight during the investigation into the death. Rikers Island is
- 19:11Speaker 8: in the process of shutting down operations as the city
- 19:14Speaker 8: transitions to a borough-based prison system. I'm Lizzie Radabali, WOR News.
- 19:19Speaker 6: Mayor Mamdani says he's focused on safety and keeping people
- 19:21Speaker 6: moving next week ahead of the UN General Assembly, not protests.
- 19:26Speaker 6: But he says he stands by past comments about Israeli
- 19:29Speaker 6: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu being a war criminal. Today, Jewish
- 19:33Speaker 6: students are expected to rally outside Gracie Mansion. And a
- 19:36Speaker 6: lot of us wondered why Pete Davidson and Colin Jost
- 19:39Speaker 6: bought an old Staten Island ferry. Well, the comics turned
- 19:41Speaker 6: it into a floating comedy club last night. Docked in
- 19:45Speaker 6: Lower Manhattan, the Snapple Island Ferry, named for its sponsor,
- 19:49Speaker 6: had a one-night-only franchise.
- 19:50Speaker 3: Show.
- 19:50Speaker 6: Mets lose to Philadelphia. Yankees were off. Next news, 8
- 19:54Speaker 6: o'clock bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710 WOR.
- 19:58Speaker 1: Up next, oh wow, unexpected Congresswoman Marie Salazar of Southern Florida,
- 20:05Speaker 1: strong Trumper Made a commercial in which she said, Hispanics
- 20:11Speaker 1: feel betrayed.
- 20:12Speaker 3: By you, Mr. President.
- 20:15Speaker 1: We'll bounce that off of Rob Astorino up next. Meantime,
- 20:19Speaker 1: don't miss our iHeart Radio Music Festival presented by Capital One.
- 20:23Speaker 3: That's tonight and tomorrow.
- 20:25Speaker 1: We've got the biggest names across all different styles of
- 20:28Speaker 1: music together on one stage in one weekend, including Snoop
- 20:31Speaker 1: Doggy Dog, the Goo Goo Dolls, Kenny Chesney, Lainey Wilson,
- 20:35Speaker 1: and more streaming live on Disney Plus and Hulu from
- 20:38Speaker 1: the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. 46 days left before
- 20:43Speaker 1: the midterms and a bit of an earthquake in southern
- 20:47Speaker 1: Florida for Republicans. A real strong Trump supporter put out
- 20:53Speaker 1: a TV ad, Congresswoman Marie Salazar, where she was criticizing
- 20:59Speaker 1: Donald Trump, the president, and his administration by saying that
- 21:03Speaker 1: Hispanics feel betrayed. I think, Rob Astorino, this is your opportunity.
- 21:09Speaker 1: You can't have Stephen Miller respond to this. A lot
- 21:13Speaker 1: of people don't know this, Larry. Rob Astorino speaks the
- 21:18Speaker 1: best Spanish. I was up in an event that he
- 21:20Speaker 1: was speaking at in the Bronx, and some of the
- 21:23Speaker 1: Hispanics said, is he from South America, Central America?
- 21:27Speaker 3: Am I right or wrong about that, Rob?
- 21:30Speaker 4: Hola, me, me, Lomelo, Rob.
- 21:38Speaker 3: I don't speak Bloomberg.
- 21:39Speaker 1: Thank God. Thank God.
- 21:41Speaker 3: But how?
- 21:42Speaker 4: So I saw this ad. I did see this ad.
- 21:45Speaker 9: And I think you're going to see more of this,
- 21:48Speaker 9: not particularly on immigration, but think about the district, right?
- 21:53Speaker 9: It is the Miami area. So obviously a lot of
- 21:56Speaker 9: Latinos and Hispanics. Their polling obviously shows that there's some
- 22:00Speaker 9: backlash towards some of the immigration stuff.
- 22:03Speaker 4: She kind of walked it both ways a little bit.
- 22:06Speaker 9: But, you know, I thought she was very strong and
- 22:11Speaker 9: almost like angry.
- 22:13Speaker 4: She almost sounded like the Democratic candidate.
- 22:14Speaker 9: I think she could have accomplished this ad the same
- 22:17Speaker 9: way by being a little softer.
- 22:19Speaker 4: But, OK, look, she had to do it. And you're
- 22:21Speaker 4: going to have a lot of Republican candidates there.
- 22:24Speaker 9: Kind of breaking with Trump on something, I think, whatever
- 22:27Speaker 9: it's important for their state or district. But here's the thing,
- 22:32Speaker 9: and what are the odds of this? I think President
- 22:35Speaker 9: Trump needs to bite his tongue because he has to
- 22:38Speaker 9: look at the bigger picture.
- 22:40Speaker 4: He has to have a.
- 22:42Speaker 9: Republican House and a Republican Senate, or it's going to
- 22:45Speaker 9: be just misery for the following two years. So, I mean,
- 22:49Speaker 9: if he's going to go after each Republican candidate like
- 22:52Speaker 9: her in Florida, Then he's telling his MAGA base, hey.
- 22:56Speaker 4: She betrayed us. Don't go out and vote for her.
- 22:58Speaker 9: And they'll stay home and she'll lose and the Democrats
- 23:01Speaker 9: will take over the House. It's a fine line, but
- 23:03Speaker 9: you almost have to bite your tongue as the incumbent
- 23:05Speaker 9: here or as the sitting president and look at the
- 23:09Speaker 9: bigger picture.
- 23:09Speaker 4: I hope he can do that.
- 23:11Speaker 3: What do you think, Larry?
- 23:12Speaker 4: Can he do that?
- 23:14Speaker 2: I think so. I think he knows what's at stake.
- 23:17Speaker 2: He's certainly just picking the districts where he knows he'll
- 23:20Speaker 2: play well in, and he's avoiding districts that he doesn't
- 23:24Speaker 2: think he'll play well in. But I am concerned. Talk
- 23:28Speaker 2: me off the ledge, because I keep seeing these polls,
- 23:31Speaker 2: and they're going the wrong way. El Sayed just pulled
- 23:35Speaker 2: ahead of Rodgers in Michigan. state after state after state
- 23:39Speaker 2: race after race after race it seems to be trending democrat.
- 23:45Speaker 9: Well it has been there's no question about it there's
- 23:47Speaker 9: still enough time and again this is finally where it's
- 23:51Speaker 9: only been really the last week where republicans have been
- 23:54Speaker 9: spending their boatload of money they should have been doing
- 23:57Speaker 9: this months ago because really they allowed the democrats with
- 24:01Speaker 9: whatever money they had to start spending and defining races
- 24:04Speaker 9: and defining candidates so But.
- 24:07Speaker 4: Places like Texas, for instance.
- 24:09Speaker 9: They had a knock-down, drag-them-out primary where Republicans, the Senate committee,
- 24:16Speaker 9: spent a ton of money beating the crap out of Paxton.
- 24:20Speaker 9: And now all of a sudden he's their candidate, bumps
- 24:22Speaker 9: and bruises and bandages all over that was caused by
- 24:24Speaker 9: his own team.
- 24:25Speaker 4: Now they've got to rehabilitate him. So there are a lot.
- 24:28Speaker 9: Of races where they're behind the eight ball, but there's
- 24:32Speaker 9: still enough time.
- 24:33Speaker 4: And you also have to look at the other part
- 24:35Speaker 4: of this. You know, in polls, Americans have a 70
- 24:38Speaker 4: percent disapproval of the Democratic Party. They do know they're crazy,
- 24:44Speaker 4: but they're kind of willing to go with them because
- 24:46Speaker 4: they're unhappy right now. You've got to make sure that
- 24:48Speaker 4: they understand how dangerous they are. And it's not only
- 24:52Speaker 4: a base.
- 24:52Speaker 9: Vote getting at your own people, but it's scaring the
- 24:54Speaker 9: living crap out of people to say this team, this
- 24:57Speaker 9: team is under no circumstances.
- 25:00Speaker 4: Can you let them come in?
- 25:01Speaker 1: All right, but for the independents, who oftentimes, as you know,
- 25:05Speaker 1: Rob Astorino, will be the deciding element in very close races.
- 25:10Speaker 1: The president once again said yesterday, rising gas prices is
- 25:14Speaker 1: a small price to pay to keep Iran from getting
- 25:17Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon. I do not see that resonating with
- 25:22Speaker 1: a lot of voters, Rob. How else can he alter
- 25:25Speaker 1: the message or sort of address it? Because we see
- 25:29Speaker 1: the prices are going up at the pump.
- 25:33Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, they actually came down like $ 3 a
- 25:36Speaker 9: barrel the other day. I think maybe and hopefully the
- 25:38Speaker 9: market kind of settles and maybe goes down a little bit,
- 25:41Speaker 9: but I don't know how much you're going to feel that.
- 25:43Speaker 4: And he admitted it.
- 25:44Speaker 9: He was like, you know, gas prices are going to
- 25:45Speaker 9: come down like a reverse rocket ship right after the election.
- 25:49Speaker 3: So I think.
- 25:50Speaker 4: He's got two issues, this and the AI. You know,
- 25:53Speaker 4: this is the big, I heard you guys.
- 25:54Speaker 10: Talk about it.
- 25:55Speaker 4: I'm going to talk about it tomorrow on my 4 p.m. show.
- 25:58Speaker 4: This is, I think, the biggest head fake in the
- 26:00Speaker 4: history of head fakes.
- 26:01Speaker 9: This AI nonsense that we're all going to die tomorrow,
- 26:06Speaker 9: so we have to do something today. And this is
- 26:10Speaker 9: getting us to not talk about socialism, which was working.
- 26:14Speaker 9: Talking about the Democratic Party and their crazy ideas, now
- 26:18Speaker 9: they've accomplished something. They've got everybody, including Republicans, running to
- 26:22Speaker 9: do something on AI.
- 26:24Speaker 4: They don't even know what to do, but we've got
- 26:26Speaker 4: to look like we're doing something.
- 26:28Speaker 9: And You know, that's a that's a potent issue because
- 26:31Speaker 9: it's an emotional issue.
- 26:33Speaker 4: And the other thing about AI is this whole thing
- 26:36Speaker 4: about we've we've got to beat China. OK, we do.
- 26:39Speaker 4: But that's not anyone. Nobody cares about that if we're
- 26:42Speaker 4: going to die from robots. You know, so I just
- 26:46Speaker 4: don't think the China thing is is the messaging to people.
- 26:50Speaker 9: You know, you have to acknowledge their fears, but also
- 26:53Speaker 9: bring people back to reality of what it is and isn't.
- 26:55Speaker 2: Well, what you just said is eye-opening because I do
- 26:58Speaker 2: think you have a pulse on things because they've been
- 27:01Speaker 2: showing a poll over the last couple of days of
- 27:03Speaker 2: the issues people care about. And less than 1% care
- 27:07Speaker 2: about AI. But it might be because those polls were
- 27:11Speaker 2: taken before all of the scare tactics over the last week.
- 27:16Speaker 4: Yeah, they're going to.
- 27:17Speaker 9: They're going to ramp this up left and right. Now,
- 27:19Speaker 9: the House just decided they're on recess now for good.
- 27:23Speaker 9: They're not coming back until after the election, so they're
- 27:25Speaker 9: not going to deal with the AI thing, which I
- 27:27Speaker 9: think is good. Don't rush to something. Let cooler heads prevail,
- 27:32Speaker 9: and then get together and figure out how to deal
- 27:34Speaker 9: with this, but not run to a room and just
- 27:37Speaker 9: come up with something on paper, which could be so
- 27:40Speaker 9: bad for this country.
- 27:41Speaker 1: I agree.
- 27:42Speaker 4: We do need to.
- 27:44Speaker 4: We need to win the AI race, but what does
- 27:46Speaker 4: that mean? It's a tool.
- 27:48Speaker 3: It's like a hammer.
- 27:49Speaker 9: A hammer could be good if you use it the
- 27:51Speaker 9: right way, or a hammer could be used really bad
- 27:52Speaker 9: if you hit somebody over the head with it.
- 27:54Speaker 4: So let's figure out how to use it.
- 27:57Speaker 3: All right, Rob Astorino, thanks a lot.
- 28:00Speaker 2: You didn't talk me off the ledge at all, but
- 28:03Speaker 2: I appreciate you coming on.
- 28:06Speaker 3: Thanks a lot, Rob.
- 28:07Speaker 2: Rob, by the way, will be on this weekend, both
- 28:10Speaker 2: on Newsmax and on WOR. Natalie Migliore now goes out. Oh,
- 28:15Speaker 2: listen to what she's talking about. She's talking about the
- 28:18Speaker 2: Jets and the Giants.
- 28:20Speaker 3: Because they're winners. Yeah, everybody's excited right now.
- 28:22Speaker 11: Super Bowl.
- 28:24Speaker 2: She says this at her beat on the street today.
- 28:27Speaker 2: So how are they feeling? Oh, I can tell you
- 28:29Speaker 2: right now.
- 28:29Speaker 3: They're all psyched.
- 28:30Speaker 2: How are they feeling at the start of the season? Also,
- 28:34Speaker 2: we need to talk about the Seacrane Radio, the CC
- 28:37Speaker 2: Radio 3 specifically, because that is their almost everything radio.
- 28:43Speaker 2: It has the addition of Bluetooth now, so you now
- 28:46Speaker 2: have an immense palette of radio stations and podcasts available
- 28:50Speaker 2: from any smartphone or speaker. The CC Radio 3 has
- 28:55Speaker 2: great reception for long-range AM FM stations. It has the
- 28:59Speaker 2: emergency capabilities like NOAA weather and the 2-meter handband. We
- 29:04Speaker 2: talk about this all the time with the CC radios.
- 29:07Speaker 2: Reliable communication and staying connected. during unforeseen events like Superstorm
- 29:13Speaker 2: Sandy or some of the flooding and the horrible storms
- 29:17Speaker 2: we've had recently, that is imperative. If you listen primarily
- 29:23Speaker 2: to voice content, the CC Radio 3 is arguably worth
- 29:26Speaker 2: the price alone. Audio quality for the spoken word is perfect.
- 29:30Speaker 2: It's got separate bass and treble controls. It lets you
- 29:33Speaker 2: customize the sound for clear, crisp audio. Now this, the
- 29:38Speaker 2: CC Radio 3, runs on the included power cord or
- 29:41Speaker 2: a set of batteries for over 170 hours to get
- 29:45Speaker 2: you through an emergency. So to order the CC Radio 3,
- 29:48Speaker 2: call C-Crane at 800-522-8863.
- 29:49Speaker 3: Once again, that's 800-522-8863.
- 29:50Speaker 2: Or you can visit them online at at see cream.com.
- 30:01Speaker 2: Smiling about the streets, Cheshire cat.
- 30:04Speaker 1: Well, because I'm sure you walked right into euphoric fans
- 30:09Speaker 1: who are believing for the first time jets and giants
- 30:12Speaker 1: winning their opening games together.
- 30:15Speaker 3: It's like unheard of. What is go? What's the face for?
- 30:18Speaker 11: Yeah, because I'm laughing because we were saying how we
- 30:22Speaker 11: should grab jets and giants fans.
- 30:24Speaker 3: Ahead of the weekend.
- 30:25Speaker 11: Because we just don't know how things are going to
- 30:27Speaker 11: shake out for their second games.
- 30:31Speaker 3: That's fair, isn't it? Tough games. Tough games. Yes. And
- 30:35Speaker 3: it comes as the Jets are set to host the.
- 30:37Speaker 11: Packers for their home opener game this Sunday after winning
- 30:42Speaker 11: their first game last season. Hopefully setting the tone for
- 30:46Speaker 11: some fans. Even with a win, though, my friends, gentlemen,
- 30:51Speaker 11: Jets fans say it's only... the first game, and I
- 30:55Speaker 11: love this time of year because this is my favorite part.
- 30:59Speaker 3: Everyone becomes a coach.
- 31:01Speaker 12: The game I witnessed was the type of game, even
- 31:03Speaker 12: though it was 23 to like 10, I feel like
- 31:06Speaker 12: you should have blew them out even more.
- 31:07Speaker 4: So yeah, I guess what needs to change is execution
- 31:10Speaker 4: on offense a little more.
- 31:11Speaker 3: So far, so good, boys.
- 31:12Speaker 4: That's not our last.
- 31:13Speaker 3: That's the way it is, chance.
- 31:15Speaker 12: I mean, they're missing a lot on that team. They
- 31:17Speaker 12: still don't have like a defensive quarterback, and they, you know,
- 31:20Speaker 12: gave away their best defensive players.
- 31:22Speaker 2: Right?
- 31:22Speaker 12: So, I mean, it really started from scratch, so I
- 31:24Speaker 12: really don't expect much, but I'm hoping that Woody Johnson
- 31:27Speaker 12: finally gets together, realizes what the Giants did, and you
- 31:31Speaker 12: need a Hall of Fame coach in New York to
- 31:32Speaker 12: be able to, you know, New York's a different beast.
- 31:34Speaker 4: You know, you see what happened with the Knicks.
- 31:36Speaker 3: They got a good coach, right? Got a good GM.
- 31:38Speaker 12: So, you finally got a tip.
- 31:40Speaker 3: Were you talking to Mets fans or Jet fans here?
- 31:43Speaker 11: I think a part of them are just all a mix.
- 31:46Speaker 11: Some of them wore a Jets and a Mets fan.
- 31:49Speaker 11: I'm not going to lie. One guy wore his Mets
- 31:51Speaker 11: hat and was talking about the Jets.
- 31:54Speaker 2: First of all, they were all great. They were really good.
- 31:57Speaker 2: But you can tell they have trepidation. They don't want
- 32:00Speaker 2: to get their hopes up.
- 32:01Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 32:01Speaker 3: They don't want false promises.
- 32:03Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 32:03Speaker 3: They're already thinking, oh, we're going to lose the next five.
- 32:06Speaker 11: There's no delusions.
- 32:07Speaker 3: There's no illusion. Okay.
- 32:09Speaker 11: That they're even going to get close to winning a
- 32:12Speaker 11: Super Bowl.
- 32:14Speaker 4: Okay.
- 32:16Speaker 3: What a horrible laugh at them getting to the Super Bowl. No,
- 32:19Speaker 3: they're fans. None of them. I'm telling you guys.
- 32:24Speaker 11: I was on the street. I have the sound to
- 32:26Speaker 11: back it up. As hopeful as they are and as
- 32:31Speaker 11: nice as this is to see their team.
- 32:32Speaker 3: Come out of the gate. Larry, this is just like
- 32:35Speaker 3: Met fans.
- 32:35Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 32:36Speaker 3: They have that same attitude. Well, what about Giant fans?
- 32:40Speaker 2: Remember the Larry David episode? Every time they talked about
- 32:43Speaker 2: the Jets, they all said effing Jets.
- 32:49Speaker 11: I mean, it takes a lot of dedication at this
- 32:51Speaker 11: point in time to be, you know, a Jets fan. Really,
- 32:54Speaker 11: a lot of New York sports teams fans. We're all
- 32:57Speaker 11: going for it in a sense. But same thing for
- 33:00Speaker 11: the Giants, okay? They've got one win under their belt,
- 33:03Speaker 11: and they've only played one game. And optimism about how
- 33:06Speaker 11: far Big Blue is going this season seems to be
- 33:09Speaker 11: a little bit stronger, actually, especially after their 28-20 win
- 33:13Speaker 11: against the Cowboys.
- 33:14Speaker 3: The Giants against Dallas was a good game. I didn't
- 33:17Speaker 3: expect them to beat Dallas. So the Rams is going
- 33:20Speaker 3: to be just as.
- 33:20Speaker 10: Good at the game.
- 33:21Speaker 3: Fantastic.
- 33:26Speaker 10: Everybody thinks that, you know, mystery is going to repeat itself,
- 33:29Speaker 10: but it's not. You know, Giants are going to be
- 33:31Speaker 10: much better this year. I have very high expectations. We
- 33:35Speaker 10: finally have a quarterback, great defense, Hall of Fame coach.
- 33:39Speaker 3: What more do you want?
- 33:40Speaker 12: I'm not too sure they're going to go to the
- 33:41Speaker 12: Super Bowl, but they're going to be.
- 33:43Speaker 8: A contender this year.
- 33:48Speaker 1: What a difference between Jet fans and Giant fans.
- 33:52Speaker 3: There's pretty good reason for it, though. There is good reason.
- 33:56Speaker 11: They made legitimately big changes. And obviously the Jets fans
- 34:00Speaker 11: are really waiting for more changes to happen on the
- 34:03Speaker 11: field than what was seen. And the Giants have made
- 34:08Speaker 11: way big of a difference.
- 34:09Speaker 3: So they're feeling more hope.
- 34:11Speaker 2: Their coach is tremendous. And Jackson Dart is just fun.
- 34:16Speaker 2: He's going to be a star in the league. By
- 34:17Speaker 2: the way, the NFL has the Giants on four times
- 34:21Speaker 2: in primetime. Guess how many times the Jets are on
- 34:23Speaker 2: in primetime?
- 34:24Speaker 3: Zero. Zip.
- 34:26Speaker 2: None.
- 34:26Speaker 7: Zilch.
- 34:28Speaker 11: But hey, at least it won't be like that won't
- 34:31Speaker 11: be the for the wins to losses this year. At
