  Speaker 1: Where's that Ray Stajic? Where is he? Come on, Natalie.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Later in the morning.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Come on, Larry. 6.50.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: I got a little piece of my mind to share
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: with him because he was the most laid back weather
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: forecaster of the many that we got pounded with over
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: 72 hours. And you yourself, a weather forecaster of extraordinary talent. Larry,
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: in the years you spent in San Diego, same weather
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: map every day.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Sunny in 70, see, in January, that's when things will
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: change a little bit.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: But you understand all the terminology, and you understand how
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: we were goading him. It's like, why are the weather
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: forecasters on TV preaching death, destruction, and, oh, my God,
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: this could be the mother of all nor'eases. In the meantime,
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Ray was so laid back, well, maybe, you know, it
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: could be possibly.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Let me, I'll tell you a real quick story.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I was in a meeting one time when a storm
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: was moving up the coast. It was days away, but
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the weathercaster said, if this hits, it could be the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: storm of the century. It was the last night of ratings.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: So what do you think we led with? Storm of
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the century, and it didn't hit. But we won the book.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: We had extraordinary ratings that night. But in this one,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I always say fear, fright, hysteria, and hype. Yeah, the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: hype actually delivered because our area was blanketed, the tri-state area.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: There were all different situations, the way there was massive flooding,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: where trees were being unearthed and knocked down and chaos,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: no electricity. But it was over two days. So it
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: wasn't just like it came in and it went out
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to sea.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: It hung around for two full days.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Including the cancellation of the ACDC concert in MetLife Stadium.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: ACDC! Of course it was canceled. And Global Citizen.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: They had to cancel that last minute too.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I know that was last minute. They were going to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: go ahead with that. Most of the concerts were, the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: outdoor concerts were canceled. Canceled ahead of time. They held on.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Ringo Starr. They held on to the very end.
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: Ringo Starr was canceled at the PNC Arts Center last night.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: All over. All over. Can I defend Ray Stajic for
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: a second? Oh, please don't.
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: No.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was level-headed. He gave us every single fact.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that. After having to suffer through hype and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: hype and hype and hype and hype. And I think
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the problem is people are used to that. Now, this time,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: you're right. The hype came through. So those that are
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: level-headed don't look as bad because they're not screaming, oh,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: my God, it's Armageddon.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but wait a second. Don't give them a pass
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: on this. I'm sorry, Larry. I want him to do
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: as Mayor Copas, Mayor Copas, Mayor Maxima Copas.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: He was wrong.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: He did not prepare us adequately for what was happening. Now,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: I will admit, talking to some of my relatives in
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: old Howard Beach.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, this was as bad as Superstorm Sandy. No, no, no, no.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Nowhere near as bad as Superstorm Sandy. But it had
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: its moments.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: It did. It really hit bad down in South Jersey
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: along the coastline down there. They're going to take a
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: long time to recover from this because it was one
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: of those storms like in Cape May and Atlantic City
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and Wildwood where there was no city anymore. I mean,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the bay met the ocean. It was all covered with water.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: In some areas like Cape May, 18 inches of water
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: they got. And to top it off, they had winds
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: of up to 70 miles per hour. So South Jersey
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: was hit hard. North Jersey was hit hard, too. Long
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Beach was hit hard. Seabright was hit hard. I mean,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: there was all up and down the coast. But for
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: some reason down south, it really hit to the point
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: where it's going to take a long time to recover.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: So what you're saying is Natalie's ranch house got wiped
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: out on the Jersey Shore.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: You know, it's so funny because I know you're a
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: South Jersey guy. When you call Long Branch and all
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: of that North Jersey, because people up north by me,
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: you know, way up north.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: In morris county call that south jersey.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: South jersey i know it's not anywhere.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Near i know i know but it's all relative we
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: put the.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Dividing line all the way across the state of trenton
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: that's yeah.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Everything above trenton so your your fabulous ranch house was
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: it wiped out on the jersey show natalie.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: Oh well the house that uh you know my my
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: relatives live in down the shore thankfully they came up
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: they stayed up here for the you know up north
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: for the weekend.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Uh They kept electricity. That was an amazing thing about
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: this storm.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: A lot of, you know, there were a lot of
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: power outages, but where you suspect them to be out,
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: they weren't.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. There was no sustained winds.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: That was the key. Having sustained winds will knock out
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of power. When you have gusts, a tree,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: most trees can withstand a gust. Most power lines can
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: withstand a gust. When you hear, that's why it's important
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: to listen to the forecast. When you hear them say
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: there are 50 mile per hour sustained winds, Then you're
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: in trouble. Then things are going to fall down.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: Well, I was checking in with relatives that live in
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: Union Beach and Lavalette, you know, where you always get flooding.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: And they got the flooding. They definitely did. But they
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: were with power. They were safe. They just had to
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: ride it out.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Well, one thing that Jersey and the Rockaways and the
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: South Shore, Long Island, Nassau and Suffolk, which got hit,
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: will equally have to share in is the taxpayer cost
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: of beach nourishment, because you're going to have to replenish
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: all those beaches that were washed out to shore.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: And this happens every cycle. I know. And the shame
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: of it is most of those beaches just did replenishments,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: just did them up and down the Jersey shore. And
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: now they're going to have to get back to it.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: But it's important for the future to remember that. That
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: when you get a nor'easter, not like Superstorm Sandy, that
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: was a completely different story. When you get a nor'easter,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: it's going to hit the coastline bad. Like, for instance, Natalie,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: where you were, bad winds.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, up in northern New Jersey?
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, no.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, see.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: It was like nothing almost. You kept thinking to yourself,
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: what's happening? Why isn't anything happening?
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, same here. I'm in Linden. I'm thinking to myself,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I thought we were supposed to get a lot of rain.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: And so it's always going to hit the coastline worse
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: than anywhere else. That's why Long Island got hit so bad.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: If you notice, once again, the complaints of people of
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Brooklyn and Queens that were hit the hardest, especially in Queens.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I'll get to the Rockaways. I'll get to Hamilton Beach. And,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: of course— The number one Howard Beach area, old Howard
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Beach momentarily, was back up in sewers.
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: What have I been railing about over and over? The
• 6:54
  Speaker 8: sewers are all clocked up with garbage, flotsam, jetsam. There's
• 6:59
  Speaker 8: no even flow when you get a heavy rainfall, especially
• 7:02
  Speaker 8: if it's three inches in an hour.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: That's it. It ain't going down those sewers.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: And they refuse to clean out those sewers like they
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: did when I was a kid.
• 7:10
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I was watching WCBS and there was a gentleman standing out.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: They had him out there live and he was standing
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: out there, water a little bit below his knees. And
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: he was pointing out all of the garbage and saying,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: this happens all the time here. They've got to clean
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: out these sewers. And I thought of you right away
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: because you've been You've been on that since I've known you.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Larry, 150,000 of them that never get cleaned out. Now
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: let's go to the areas where if you had a
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: small spritz of rain, they'd be underwater. Old Howard Beach,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Hamilton Beach, and that's not the blender, and the Rockaways.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Because they also have that phenomenon of the back bay flushed.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: as the ocean is in front of them, which you
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: described down in southern New Jersey. So they have Jamaica Bay,
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: and then they have the Atlantic Ocean. And both of
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: them come flight, and they're flooded. And they're always flooded.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: You saw the guys and gals in the kayaks going
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: to the A train station in what we used to
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: call downtown Howard Beach. Used to be a theater there.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: I remember going there as a kid. There was always flooding.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Flooding in Hamilton Beach. They have houses on sticks. I mean,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: literally up on sticks. What do you think the reason
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: you're on sticks is because.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Of the money? Can I give a quick real estate tip?
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: If you're going to an area and the homes are
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: on sticks and everybody owns a kayak, that should be
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: a big clue. No matter what the real estate agent
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: tells you, you may want to ask some questions.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: You live there, you know it's going to get flooded,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: and now you're going to want the taxpayers to basically
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: bail you out again and.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Again and again. These are marsh areas.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: You know, when I like the Dutch who built dikes
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: and knew that they would be flooded all the time
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: from the North Sea. We continue to have these same problems, Larry,
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: over and over. It costs a lot of money to
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: get it all back together again. But we never seem
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: to improve the situation.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Nobody wants to spend the money. And I believe, and listen,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I have no proof of this. So I just want
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: to say that when I go out, when I start this,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: because it makes no sense that they have all of
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: these flood areas. It's not just New York. This is
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: across the country. They have all these flood areas. And
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: they don't do anything to rectify it. And my belief
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: is there's a lot of money to be made. Oh,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of money.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: And then, remember, the Fed's got to come in and
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: bail you out because everybody screams, woe is me.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Wait a second. This happens, what, every few years?
• 9:37
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: You're still living there? You're still in the same condition?
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: You're going around in kayaks when there's flooding? Well, it's
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: hard to sell. I mean, it's really difficult to sell
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: in those areas. I feel so bad for the people
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: that live in areas that are flood areas and they
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: do nothing. The government does nothing to fix it because
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: they invested in their house. They love their house. One
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: day they want to sell it. or their kids want
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: to sell it and they're never going to get the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: money for it.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: There's a move afoot, and I'd love talkbacks on this,
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: whether it's South Shore, Staten Island, or those areas I mentioned,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: to buy back those lands that are always underwater.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: And turn them into what they were originally, marshlands.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Because the floods are constantly coming.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Well, that ship has sailed. People get wiped out. Ain't
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: going to happen.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Well, they should because they have no remedy. They have
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: no remedy other than, okay, you're underwater again. What are
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: we going to do?
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Well, you can talk about that, but certainly we want
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to talk about how you survived this storm and how
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: bad it was where you were. Go to the iHeartRadio
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: app and leave us a talkback. Really important to find
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: out how it was where you were, because all you
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: see on the news is, of course, the worst spots.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: But most of the spots didn't get hit that hard.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: You could win a Curtis Lewa and Larry Menti in
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: the morning t-shirt, which will be awarded every day to
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: our favorite talkback of the morning. And while you're on
• 10:57

• 11:04
  Speaker 1: takes home a C-Crane Radio. C-Crane Radio's Deliver the reception
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and clarity you deserve. When we come back, well, did
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: you see SNL tonight? Don't worry, we got you covered.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: You didn't miss much. Jalen Brunson from the Knicks was on.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: He was the host. How'd he do? You can decide
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: that next. Plus a chance to see Stevie Wonder at 825.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: And starting Monday, October 5th, WOR has nine chances every
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: weekday to score a grand in your hand. Listen for

  Speaker 1: and you could win $ 1, 000. Again, that's starting Monday, October 5th. Well,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: last night on Saturday Night Live, front and center, New
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: York Knicks finals MVP Jalen Brunson. He was, how can
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I say this? He's not the first sports star to
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: host SNL. The first one, by the way, was Fran
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Tarkenton back in 1977. Peyton Manning did it. Tom Brady
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: has done it. Travis Kelsey, you'll remember, did it. And
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: all of them were pretty good. And Jalen Brunson, well,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I'll say this. As a host of SNL, he's still
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: a really great basketball player. Great to be here. I'm
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: very excited.
• 12:38
  Speaker 10: You guys can probably tell by my voice and face.
• 12:42
  Speaker 10: But tonight, I'm going to approach the host in the
• 12:44
  Speaker 10: same way I approach the Knicks finals game. So the
• 12:47
  Speaker 10: first three quarters of the show are going to be god-awful.
• 12:52
  Speaker 10: The last sketch is going to be amazing.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: It's funny. He was stumbling through his lines. He was
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: laughing through the sketches, but it didn't matter. The people,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: the New York crowd just loved him. Your new hero,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: LeBron James, now that he's with the Sixers, 76ers. I
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: remember when Laura Ingram said, shut up and dribble. Remember
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: the LeBron James? You think that would be appropriate to
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Jalen Bronson? The thing is, the other Knicks were there.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Four other Knicks were there. And they were really, really,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: really good. I mean, really good. Let me see. Who
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: was there? It was Josh Hart. It was Mikael Bridges.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: It was Carl Anthony... What's his last name? Carl Anthony...
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I can't hear you crash. You're trying to save me
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: and I can't hear you, but I'll go back to
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: that in a second. But the best person there was
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: OG on an OB. You remember in game four, he's
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the one that tipped in the game winning shot and
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: he was in the audience and they were asking questions
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: of the other players in the audience. And he reminded
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Josh Hart of that moment. Next question.
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: OG.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Remember in game four when you took that shot in
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the end and you missed it?
• 14:20
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: Do you remember what happened after? Yeah, you tipped it in.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: That was awesome. New York crowd, too. Totally.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: But actually, what I did see, because I saw it late,
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: late last night, was the bit that opened it up.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: with the guy who does a great President Trump and
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: the guy who does a great Zoran Mondami. I think
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: it's Rami Youssef or something like that. That was a
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: well-done skit. I enjoyed that skit. The love affair between
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Trump and Zoran Mondami for a national audience.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I kind of knew you would. Hey, you know what?
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Our first talkback wants to talk about SNL.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, Larry.
• 15:06
  Speaker 12: I also watched the new season of SNL with the
• 15:10
  Speaker 12: Knicks fans. you know, performing and all the acts and everything.
• 15:16
  Speaker 12: And God, I wish I can get that hour and
• 15:19
  Speaker 12: a half back.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, Larry, you hyped it. You tried your best.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: I realize Jalen played in Philadelphia for Villanova, but come on, man.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Come on.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: No, he was bad. He was really bad. He stunk
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: to join out. He did. He was the, of all
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the athletes that have ever been on, I would put
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: him at the bottom.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: And Larry, I know you do this, and I think
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: this is a great tip for everybody. Wait till the
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: next day. They're all on YouTube in little bits, and
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: then you watch what you want.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Well, which I did, obviously, because I was away. But
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: I actually enjoyed the opening skit. When I saw Jalen,
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: I was sort of, oh.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I know, it was bad. Let's get a couple talkbacks
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: about the weather.
• 16:03
  Speaker 13: I live at the Jersey Shore, specifically Belmar, Spring Lake,
• 16:07
  Speaker 13: Manasquan area.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: And honestly, I'm a pet sitter.
• 16:10
  Speaker 13: I was out all different times of days and nights,
• 16:12
  Speaker 13: with the exception of some wind at times, rough seas definitely,
• 16:16
  Speaker 13: some flooding and low line.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: You know, right on the coast.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: It was just like a heavy, nasty.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Rainy weekend. That's amazing. You do get a different impression
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: from TV news. They show the worst of the worst.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: And you think, well, I'm not seeing any of that
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: outside my door. So it is a false reality on television.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: You're the reality.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: I'm still going to give it to Ray Stajic when
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: we talk to him. I'm sorry. He was way too
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: laid back in advance of this. What some people would say, oh,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: it's like Superstorm Sandy.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: No, not. That's what I'm saying. According to our talkbacks,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: maybe Ray was right. Now let's get the news at
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: 6.30 with Gloria Alpinger. Oh, I did it again. I
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: did it again. You know what?
• 17:02
  Speaker 13: That is a great start to my week for me.
• 17:04
  Speaker 13: And I needed that today because, believe it or not,
• 17:08
  Speaker 13: I am flooded out where I am. And I had
• 17:10
  Speaker 13: to double back and turn around.
• 17:11
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 17:12
  Speaker 13: Well, Bayonne is low. And basically somebody sneezes and it floods. But, yeah,
• 17:17
  Speaker 13: I had to double back and find another way into
• 17:19
  Speaker 13: the city this morning. You know, I needed that laugh.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Well, thanks for covering for me. Can I reintroduce you? Absolutely.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Now the news at 6.30 with Daria Albinger. Daria. Thank you, Lawrence.
• 17:30
  Speaker 13: Sours through midday, high at 62 degrees.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Your mom probably only calls you that, right?
• 17:35
  Speaker 13: Or your school teachers in Catholic school?
• 17:37
  Speaker 14: No.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: No? Just you. Just me? Okay.
• 17:40
  Speaker 13: Are you Lawrence?
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I am Lawrence, yeah.
• 17:42
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 17:43
  Speaker 15: All right.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Moving on.
• 17:44
  Speaker 13: What's left of a rare September nor'easter is moving out
• 17:47
  Speaker 13: of the area. ABC News meteorologist Leslie Lopez says it
• 17:50
  Speaker 13: caused some problems from the Carolinas to New England.
• 17:53
  Speaker 16: In North Carolina, shoreline loss in the aftermath of the storm.
• 17:56
  Speaker 16: Massive waves slamming into beachfront communities, tearing away at homes
• 18:00
  Speaker 16: and properties. The storm's winds going up to 80 miles
• 18:03
  Speaker 16: per hour in some areas, blasting the region. Hundreds of
• 18:06
  Speaker 16: thousands losing power in the northeast. The storm downing power lines,
• 18:10
  Speaker 16: damaging homes and smashing cars.
• 18:12
  Speaker 13: And the main problem is in our area. Aside from
• 18:14
  Speaker 13: some flooding, we have power outages and some downed trees.
• 18:17
  Speaker 13: One of those trees fell on a NYCHA worker in
• 18:19
  Speaker 13: Brooklyn and killed him. Iran's foreign minister says his country
• 18:22
  Speaker 13: is fully prepared for more war, but also stands ready
• 18:25
  Speaker 13: for diplomacy. Abbas Arachi's comments come after President Trump rejected
• 18:30
  Speaker 13: Iran's proposal To reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the president
• 18:33
  Speaker 13: says Iran wants to make a deal because, quote, they're
• 18:35
  Speaker 13: losing so badly. A man is facing charges in connection
• 18:39
  Speaker 13: with the discovery of a dead woman in Central Park.
• 18:41
  Speaker 13: Police arrested Jonathan Robles yesterday. The woman had head trauma
• 18:45
  Speaker 13: and multiple stab wounds to her body. SpaceX will attempt
• 18:49
  Speaker 13: to launch its massive Starship rocket into orbit this morning
• 18:52
  Speaker 13: from its base in Texas. The rocket is carrying more
• 18:55
  Speaker 13: than two dozen of the latest Starlink satellites. And there's
• 18:58
  Speaker 13: a day for everything. Today is National Drink Beer Day.
• 19:03
  Speaker 17: Statistically, 38% of you are now cheering that news, and
• 19:06
  Speaker 17: you should because beer is great. It's the third most
• 19:09
  Speaker 17: consumed drink in the world, behind water and tea. It
• 19:11
  Speaker 17: lowers heart disease risk, is packed with antioxidants, and according
• 19:15
  Speaker 17: to behavioral studies, just hearing a beer pour into a
• 19:18
  Speaker 17: glass tells your brain it's no longer work time. So
• 19:21
  Speaker 17: at the end of business, crack open a beer, but
• 19:23
  Speaker 17: only one if you're a woman, two if you're a man,
• 19:26
  Speaker 17: as the health benefits wane the more you drink.
• 19:28
  Speaker 18: I'm Bree Tennis.
• 19:29
  Speaker 13: Giants win, Jets lose, Mets end their season with a
• 19:32
  Speaker 13: loss to Washington in the Yankees game against Baltimore was
• 19:34
  Speaker 13: rained out. Next up, game one of the wildcard series
• 19:37
  Speaker 13: against Boston. Next, new 7 o'clock bulletins at once. I'm
• 19:40
  Speaker 13: Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm back.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: I was up in Marshall, New York, right near Lake Ontario,
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: not Lake America. to rescue 20,000 beagles with 1,000 others.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I'll give you the breakdown coming up next.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: But our 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival, presented by Capital One,
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: is done and over. But to relieve all the biggest moments...
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: All you got to do is be streaming on Disney
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Plus and Hulu beginning October 1st. Well, Larry, you know,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: I went up to Marshall, New York, which is in
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: the middle of nowhere. Apple orchards everywhere, farm country, dairy country.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: And Natalie, before I went up there to join a
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: thousand people who wanted to rescue the 16,000 beagles that
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: are being tested on at Marshall BioResource. kept insisting that
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: according to her GPS, it was near Rochester.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: And I kept saying, no, it's 18 miles south of Utica.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: She said, no, my GPS says Rochester.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: So when I finally got to Marshall in the middle
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: of an apple orchard, I took a picture of this
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: sign that said Rochester 36 miles west.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Just to prove that to you, Natalie.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Are you proving I was right or was wrong?
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: That you were wrong. Oh, I thought you were saying
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: she was right because it was 36 miles away.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Rochester, correct. So it's 18 miles south of Utica.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Okay. But it was near Lake Ontario.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: And by the way, Larry, whether they were Trumpers or
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: they voted for Harris or Biden, everybody up there was saying, no,
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: it'll always be Lake Ontario.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: It's not Lake America. Well, put that aside.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: I was amazed working my way up to Marshall, New York.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: to join a thousand people, and not just locals who
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: are concerned about animal testing, they want to eliminate it,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: but people who came from Washington State, Oregon, California, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois,
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: and Wisconsin, especially the 27 who were arrested and charged
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: with serious felony crimes when they rescued those beagles, if
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: you remember back in June, at the Rigland Farms in Wisconsin.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: that eventually was closed down by the state. In fact,
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Jeanine Pirro adopted two of those beagles. She's always been
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: an animal lover and others did all over the country.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: 27 of these people face felony charges from the county
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: that have a penalty of six years. And they were
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: talking about the hardship and how they've had to go
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: out and get lawyers. And I said to myself, Wait
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: a second. In the liberal state of Wisconsin, if you
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: killed somebody in Milwaukee, you'd probably get six months, never.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Mind six years.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: And apparently the prosecutors in that county have doubled down
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: and they added charges. So there are now 51 total defendants.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: And they're going to go on trial in January. They
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: all said, look, we're not going to accept a plea.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: We didn't do anything wrong. Rescuing beagles is what we
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: should do because there's no reason for animal testing whatsoever.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: But Rigland only had 2,000 beagles, 2,000. The last remaining
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: farm for beagles. where they create beagles for the sole
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: reason of testing, is the Marshall Bio Resource Place in
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: the middle of nowhere, New York, where even the local
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: people didn't even know it was for beagle testing because
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: they thought, oh, it's probably the warehouse, you know, where
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: they pack the apples, they turn it into apple cider.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Do you even know what it was?
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: No, I'm telling you, when you pass this place, it's
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: a forest that surrounds it. You have no idea other
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: than the people who work there. That this beagle testing,
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: and it's not just beagles. There's 16,000 beagles that they
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: breed for testing, horrible tests.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: But there are also cats, there are ferrets, and there
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: are piglets. So a total of 20,000 animals.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: So these thousand people, many of them first assembled in
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Albany two weeks ago and then marched 210 miles and
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: hit every town along the way, spreading the message. All
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: assembled there. I was glad to join them. And wow,
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: it was raucous. But Natalie, remember, before I went up there,
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: the organizers asked us to change what we had posted.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Because the state police were claiming, what? Curtis Lee was
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: coming up? He'll go over the fence.
• 24:12
  Speaker 19: You better do something about that guy. We've done a
• 24:15
  Speaker 19: rap sheet on him. This guy has been arrested 82 times.
• 24:18
  Speaker 19: He doesn't mind getting arrested, which was true. But then
• 24:21
  Speaker 19: the organizers said to me, it's not this time. Six
• 24:24
  Speaker 19: months from now, we're going to shut it down because
• 24:26
  Speaker 19: we have assistance.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: There's a couple things. Let me just say, there's a
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: couple things that bother me about this whole thing, this story.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, aside from the obvious, the fact that they're
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: testing animals up there. You're right. Wisconsin got a lot
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: of play. It was a national story. It was on
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: the national news. So you have this protest. Nobody covered it.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: I went and looked. Some of the local stations, WAM
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: TV up there covered it. Nobody covered it.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Well, if we had done what I wanted to do
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: and go over the fence and they would have had
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: tear gas and other measures to stop us and arrest,
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: you know that would have gone in coverage.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: But they plan on doing it. The good thing, though.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: That's what happened in Wisconsin.
• 25:02
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: They went inside. That got them coverage and that shut
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: it down. So this, what you're doing right now, ain't
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: going to work.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Well, but there is tactical air support and I'm proud
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: of our Republicans. Nick Landworthy, Congressman from West New York,
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Nicole Maliatakis, our local Congresswoman, and Nancy Mace have sponsored
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: the legislation to end all testing on animals. And as
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: you saw recently, RFK Jr., the Secretary of Health and
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: Human Services said there will be no more testing of animals.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: So The tide is turning, and I'm happy to see
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: that the Republicans are leading the effort in the House
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: and our Secretary of Health and Human Services, RFK Jr.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: is leading the way. You better hope it gets voted
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: on before the midterms. Yeah, we'll be talking about that
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: later on in the show. Not looking too good for Republicans.
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: I have to say, it is a shame that we
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: had to take down that video because you were fired
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: up in your Parker jacket.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I was ready to get arrested.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: You still did a good job. People got to, you know,
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: up there.
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: A thousand people to show up near the Canadian border
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: is impressive.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it was them. They've been organizing this for months. Meantime,
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: I got a piece of my mind to give Ray Stajic.
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: Oh, no.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: He'll be up next. Oh, he was like, come see,
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: come saw, la la me, la la you.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: It'll be okay.
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: Oh, no.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: He never said it would be okay. Never did he
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: say it would be okay. I seem to remember it differently, Ari.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: I think you do.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: We'll review it with Ray Stajic, up next, our weather guy. Well,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: I feel so bad for Ray Stajic right now. Ray Stajic,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: WLR Weather Channel meteorologist. And I feel bad because I
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: thought he did a really nice job on Friday. He's
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: one of the best meteorologists in the country. And he
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: was even keeled and level-headed about the storm that was
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: going to hit. And I remember you saying it was
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: going to be bad along the shorelines, maybe not so
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: bad everywhere else. But Curtis doesn't see it that way.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: And so I'm going to let him take over because, well,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry for what's going to happen now.
• 27:16
  Speaker 15: Larry, I appreciate that. But I came in here thinking,
• 27:18
  Speaker 15: all right, damn good job on that.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so, too.
• 27:23
  Speaker 15: So, Curtis, let's go.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Well, Ray, it would figure weather guys are together forever. Larry,
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: having been the weather forecaster in San Diego, boy, that
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: was a tough job, Larry. And you, Ray, when you
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: use that weather forecasting terminology back and forth that none
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: of us seem to understand. So I'm listening to you
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: and the buildup to the Nor'easter. And when all was
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: said and done, two days of getting pounded, and I'm
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: saying to myself, our guy, Ray Stajic, he was the
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: weather guy on Quaaludes.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was like laid back, cool, calm, and collected.
• 27:59
  Speaker 19: Don't worry about it.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Meantime, there are people in Howard Beach, Hamilton Beach, the Rockwoods.
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: This is worse than Superstorm Sandy.
• 28:10
  Speaker 15: Well, I didn't say that.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: No, you didn't, but they did. So they must be right.
• 28:18
  Speaker 15: Well, there might be isolated areas where the water came
• 28:21
  Speaker 15: up as high as Sandy. I did hear a couple
• 28:24
  Speaker 15: of reports of that. But when you're talking widespread overall
• 28:28
  Speaker 15: and you ended up being divided by, hey, how did
• 28:30
  Speaker 15: we do overall? And overall, I would think that, yeah,
• 28:35
  Speaker 15: there were impacts. And certainly, I'd say minor to moderate
• 28:38
  Speaker 15: impacts would probably fit into right what Um, we're saying
• 28:42
  Speaker 15: on Friday. So yeah, certainly there's always areas that get
• 28:45
  Speaker 15: a little bit more than, um, maybe the whole world
• 28:48
  Speaker 15: sees an isolated spots, but one or three inches of
• 28:50
  Speaker 15: rain that about worked out almost three inches at central park,
• 28:54
  Speaker 15: but there were some higher totals on long Island where
• 28:57
  Speaker 15: we expected four or five inches, but it came over
• 29:00
  Speaker 15: the course of a, a couple of days, gusty winds
• 29:03
  Speaker 15: that have a wind gust of Montauk point 81 miles
• 29:05
  Speaker 15: per hour. But that was at elevation. So there was
• 29:08
  Speaker 15: a little elevation where that was recorded too. So down
• 29:11
  Speaker 15: at the surface might not have been realized as quite
• 29:13
  Speaker 15: that strong, but again, that's an isolated wind gust. And
• 29:17
  Speaker 15: there's another one, I think near 74 miles per hour, but, um,
• 29:20
  Speaker 15: spotty power outages. So I don't know who Curtis is
• 29:24
  Speaker 15: listening to, but that sounds like pretty darn good forecasting.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: It was an excellent forecast, an excellent forecast. It really was.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: It's the problem is that Curtis and just about everybody else,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: all they watch is the news and they see all
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: of the worst areas and only the worst areas where
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: the majority of the areas like myself and like Natalie
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: we were going we were outside looking and sometimes it
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: wasn't raining going I thought it was supposed to rain
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: all day and it was nothing.
• 29:54
  Speaker 15: Right I think if there's one thing at least for
• 29:56
  Speaker 15: me when I was watching radar on Saturday I was
• 29:59
  Speaker 15: saying I thought maybe the rain shield would have been
• 30:02
  Speaker 15: a little bit more filled in, a little more persistent
• 30:05
  Speaker 15: than it was. But still, quite a bit of rain,
• 30:08
  Speaker 15: which we did need.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question, Ray.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: You spend all of your day whiling away, whiling away
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: the hours watching radar all day.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: I can't imagine anything more boring watching a radar screen
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: all day.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: That was in.
• 30:27
  Speaker 15: Between commercials of the three football games I was watching.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what. Give us some good news.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: We have clearer skies ahead.
• 30:39
  Speaker 15: Yeah, we get past today. Still kind of yucky out
• 30:43
  Speaker 15: there today. But a lot of the rain is north
• 30:45
  Speaker 15: as you go up the Hudson Valley and through Orange
• 30:48
  Speaker 15: County and Westchester County. That's all going west and north.
• 30:51
  Speaker 15: We've got some leftover showers. Probably going to stay a
• 30:54
  Speaker 15: little cloudy, breezy, and cool today. Still in the 60s,
• 30:57
  Speaker 15: probably even the low to mid 60s. And then by
• 30:59
  Speaker 15: Tuesday and Wednesday as we wrap up the month, absolutely gorgeous.
• 31:03
  Speaker 15: Low to mid 70s, sunshine, overnight lows in the 50s.
• 31:05
  Speaker 15: Might even be near 80 with sunshine for the rest
• 31:07
  Speaker 15: of the week. I don't see another rain chance in
• 31:09
  Speaker 15: here until later in the weekend as we get into
• 31:12
  Speaker 15: the first few days of October. The only one thing
• 31:15
  Speaker 15: I did want to say, you know, nor'easter, let's just
• 31:18
  Speaker 15: be thankful it wasn't the middle of winter and this
• 31:20
  Speaker 15: wasn't a snow event because we'd be probably talking about
• 31:23
  Speaker 15: a whole different different ball of wax when you figure.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: Let me uh alert you that there was some good
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: news in the city none of the sewer guys were
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: down in the subterranean underground because they would have all
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: drowned two days of steady rain.
• 31:39
  Speaker 15: More importantly did you save the beagles.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, so you're sticking me here, Ray.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: The state police prevented me from rescuing the beagles.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: So, ah, touche. Touche. I really had no idea. Touche, Ray.
• 32:00
  Speaker 15: You're welcome.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Well, nice job, Ray. I think you did a great
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: job in forecasting this. So thank you so much for
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: telling us what was going to happen last week. And
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: I apologize, as always, for Curtis. Ray Stajic, WOR Weather
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Channel meteorologist.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: Up next, oh, Washington, D.C. is consumed with talk of
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: artificial intelligence. The president had dinner last night with an adversary.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: They're going to have AI executives in D.C.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: For a conference on Tuesday. And that's the buzz. What
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: to do about AI up next, but first, 7 o'clock
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: and the news on the Weather Channel. Well, AI, of course,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: over the last month has taken over the conversation, not
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: only at the UN, but across the country, and it
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: is squarely now in the midterms elections. And last night...
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Dario Amadei, who is one of the leaders in saying
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: the world is going to end, one of the tech leaders,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: now there are plentiful, there's a whole bunch of them,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: had dinner with Donald Trump at the White House. Now,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: we don't really know exactly what was said at this point.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: There's going to be a lot more tomorrow, but I'm
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: sure Donald Trump was telling him to cool down a
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: little bit. But from the very beginning, and I know
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Curtis has a lot more to say about this, but
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: let me just say this. From the very beginning, I've
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: been suspicious about this whole AI thing. You mean they
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: just found out in the middle of the midterms a
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: few weeks ago? They just found out what a risk
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: this is? They just decided to tell us? And the
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: fact that Amode came out and said that this was
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: going to happen, And then everybody else said, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: me too, really got to me. Then I watched his
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: speech at the UN. And his speech at the UN
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: really crystallized to me what is going on.
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: The first is misuse of AI models.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Let me set that up a little bit better, because
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: he said that this is one of the greatest threats
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: to humanity. Then he went through the risks, and he
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: says there are two.
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: The first is misuse of AI models.
• 34:19
  Speaker 20: For example, misuse by bioterrorists to create biological weapons.
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: The second risk is loss of control.
• 34:26
  Speaker 20: Model capabilities accelerating beyond developers' ability to control them.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: And because of those two risks, he's saying this could
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: wipe out civilization.
• 34:37
  Speaker 20: If managed poorly, I even believe that AI could be
• 34:40
  Speaker 20: a risk to humanity as a whole. At Anthropic, we
• 34:43
  Speaker 20: believe we have the best track record in the industry
• 34:46
  Speaker 20: for preventing these risks, both operationally and in our research.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Fire and brimstone, dogs and cats sleeping together. I mean,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: he was calling for an end of the world. And
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: then after he did that and scared everybody at the UN,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: this was the tell. He went into a sales pitch.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Who can fix all this? Anthropic.
• 35:07
  Speaker 20: We test every model for dangerous capabilities in areas like
• 35:10
  Speaker 20: cybersecurity and biology. We put strong safeguards on our most
• 35:14
  Speaker 20: capable models and we publish our work in these areas.
• 35:18
  Speaker 20: We have pioneered research in areas like mechanistic interpretability and
• 35:22
  Speaker 20: alignment science that improve our ability to steer and control
• 35:26
  Speaker 20: our models.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: So he was the first one out. And Curtis, he said, Anthropic,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Anthropic is the one to go with. If you want
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: to fight this, if you want to save humanity, you
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: have to talk to me because I am front and
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: center on this. And so right when he said that,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: everybody knew what he was doing, apparently, in the industry.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Everybody came out and said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: we're better at it. We're better at it. We're better
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: at it. So it is really suspect to me, and
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: at first I thought it was politics. Now I understand
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: it's money. That these companies want more control over AI globally,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: and they want to be the guardrail. They want to
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: be the guardians of AI around the world. What do
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: you think?
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: Well, in terms of Dario at Anthropic, and the reason
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: the president had dinner with him at 10 o'clock last night,
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: in Washington, D.C. at the White House, coming back from
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: the golf tournament that the president was at, is because
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: he has been at war with the Pentagon. The Pentagon,
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: Pete Hicks said to the Secretary of War, wanting complete
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: control of Anthropic by purchasing the software and then determining
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: how it could be used. And Dario said, no, no,
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: there's certain guardrails with our product you cannot. So that's
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: tied up in the courts now. But I think the
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: president realizes he's hearing from Republicans. That out there on
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: the stump, this idea that this is fake news, you know,
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: this is the favorite term of President Donald Trump, fake news,
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: fake news. And you say to yourself, wait a second,
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: the president put out there on a social networking, the
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: only guardrails AI needed was a strong and smart, high
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: IQ president.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: And the U.S. has that in spades.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: Now, the president may be an expert on many things,
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: but we know he's not an expert on AI. And
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: I think that's why you see on Tuesday they are
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: assembling the CEOs of AI companies, whether they're friendly to
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: the administration or not friendly, trying to come up with
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: one way to deal with this. Because the president, remember,
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: promised I'm going to have an AI czar. I'm going
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: to have a committee on AI. He realizes this is percolating.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: He can't just leave it like no guardrails, full speed ahead.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: We're going to beat the red Chinese. You know, we
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: don't need there to be guardrails. The whole world wants guardrails.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: But you heard from Anthropic. They already have guardrails. They
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: already got them.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: That's Anthropic. But there are other companies that are involved
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: in this. But they all say the same thing. They
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: all say the same thing. They just want control. I understand.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: And we want, at least I want, government control of this.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: So there's a chorus out there. As you heard... from
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: the U.S. Senator Kennedy of Louisiana. He wanted a kill switch.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: Let's face it, he's a very prominent Republican. They're going
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: to debate that. They're going to debate other measures, but
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: I would not leave it to the companies themselves to
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: have the guardrails to know when to shut it down,
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: when it gets out of control. So I'm looking forward
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: to see what comes out when all the AI executives
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: of all the companies competing for contracts meet with the
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: president and his staff and try to come up with
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: a policy other than this is fake news.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Because, you know, after a while, Larry, it gets old.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Fake news, really? Where does this happen? How does it
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: happen so quickly? We were all into AI a month ago. Everybody,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: the whole world was into AI. It was going to
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: change the world. There wasn't this fear. Then this guy
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: puts out a post saying that, oh, there's a 10%
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: chance it's going to end the world. And of course,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: everybody else then got on board and said, yep, yep,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: he's right. 10% chance. Where was this before? It is odd.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: It is really odd how quickly this story blew up
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: from one guy's post saying that 10%, there's a 10%
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: chance the world could end. It's just, all of it's
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: very suspicious to me. We weren't worried about it a
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: couple months ago. Now we think it's going to be
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: the end of the world. And it needs government control
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: and it needs to be seen all the time and
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: there need to be guardrails. There needs to be a
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: kill switch. Look, I'm not smart enough to know about
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: AI and exactly what the harm it could do, but
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: I know that every time there's been a problem in
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: the past and there's been over a hundred problems in
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: the past they've been able to deal with it and quickly.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: Well the only ally the president has high profile is
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: the guy who makes all the super chips uh who
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: started uh working in a wendy's and worked his way
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: up put together a consortium and now is probably nirvana
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: i think is the name of the company uh could
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: well be the world's wealthiest man right up there with
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: elon musk he's the only supporter of the president full
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: speed ahead no guardrails Even Elon Musk signed on to
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: the letter that says we need guardrails. So let them
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: have their debate. Let them have their discourse. But, Larry,
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: you're going to get killed in the midterm elections if
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: the president keeps acting like AI is not of importance
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: to the public.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: I keep hearing this. AI is going to change the midterms.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: It's not going to change the midterms. It doesn't even
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: register in the top 10. when it comes. It may.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to say it may not, but it
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: would have to grow substantially from where it is now. Well, remember,
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: gas prices are the number one. Oh, there's no doubt.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Gas prices, diesel, groceries, mortgages. You're right.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: But Bill Gates on the weekend let off another hand grenade.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: He was on NBC Meet the Press, and he said, AI, unchecked,
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: could cause a billion deaths. And he called for regulation. Now,
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: when you have all these people, and they're prominent in
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: their fields, I realize for Bill Gates, he's trying to
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: distance himself from being a best friend of Jeffrey Epstein
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: along with Woody Allen. Apparently met with Jeffrey Epstein 30 times.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: But he's also blaring his horn. So you say to yourself,
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: the one thing that does make sense, AI in the
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: wrong hands could cause.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: A lot of trouble out there.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: And look, every one of them says there has to
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: be guardrails. Then they talk about their guardrails. They said
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: there are already guardrails. It's just that they have them
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: and they want to be the ones that control everything.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: It's just, to me, it's so obvious what's going on.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: To me, it's so obvious that these people want absolute
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: control over AI. They don't want it taken from them.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: They don't want countries to run it, and they want
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: to be the only ones that decide what the guardrails
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: are and when a kill switch should be shut off.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: Because they've already admitted they have the guardrails. They've already
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: admitted there's been some problems that they've been able to
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: take care of easily. But now, all of a sudden,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: we go to this draconian thing where the world is
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: going to end. There's got to be a reason for
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: that to accelerate so much.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: Although it's a subtopic of the conference, they're going to
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: be talking about AI data filing centers. And Wall Street
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: basically sent out a signal to all the big companies
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: who are trying to build these data filing centers with
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: AI all across the country that there's too many of them.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: then in fact, this could create a bubble. You have
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: all these data filing centers that may not be the need.
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: We're pouring billions and billions and billions of dollars into this.
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: They are suggesting when it comes to the AI data
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: filing centers that these companies put the brakes on it
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: because the demand is not there for that many centers.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: We talked about this before. We've been talking about this
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: for a while, that it's a bubble. There absolutely is
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: a bubble. And the reason these data centers are opening
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: so quickly- And there is all these false promises and
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: they don't want to build anything. They want existing. They
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: want existing warehouses is exactly what you said. It is
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: because they got to get their money right now. They
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: got to get up. They got to get their money
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: because they know a lot of these are not going
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: to exist in the next couple of years.
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: Well, if you want to get your talkbacks in, please
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: do on this subject and any of the others that
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: I discuss, especially my shots at Ray Stajic. weather forecast
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: so who we're going to hear from again in the
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: eight o'clock hour i get a second opportunity to do
• 43:42

• 44:19
  Speaker 1: So did you watch the VMA Awards last night? Did
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: anybody watch the VMA Awards last night? It doesn't... Of
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: all of the big awards, it's pretty far down on
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: the list. But it attracts a lot of young people.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: So for that reason, the networks just love it and
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: are always fighting for it. And by the way, if
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: you didn't watch, Madonna... won seven VMAs, setting a record,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: and here she is accepting for Best Dance Music.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: I came to New York to be a dancer, and
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: dance is where everything happened for me.
• 45:00
  Speaker 17: In my life.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: I came to life on the dance floor. I found
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: my community on the dance floor. I fell in love
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: with people on the dance floor.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: What happened to her British accent?
• 45:13
  Speaker 18: You guys got away.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: God bless her. Hold on.
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: You realize she's getting all these awards, some of them
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: made up for the first time. She forgot what the
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: awards were for. I mean, she clearly is like, lady,
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: enough already.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: She's talking about dance music. She won for dance.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I listen to it. I'm into dance music. It's like, okay.
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: But it's like Madonna again. It's like recycled Madonna. But
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: I will tell you, I was hoping that Kanye West
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: had a comeback. Because Taylor Swift is up there. She's getting, again,
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: newly created awards. Most awarded artists ever. I wish Kanye
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: would have come up, grabbed that award and said, you're
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: no Beyonce.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: What is your problem with these successful women? I mean,
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: I hear you attack the men so much. Well, I'll
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: tell you one thing. You were playing one of the
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: four new drops of Taylor Swift. I think it was
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: Friday or Thursday, and I panned the one you played.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: I had no idea that one was a diss track
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: against Joe Jonas.
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: One of her many former boyfriends. She's had, what, Natalie,
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: 12 former boyfriends? But I would think if you're happily
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: married now, like Kelsey is your dreamboat, You would give
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: up doing these diss tracks. She dropped a diss track
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: on Joe Jonas.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: This isn't up. The Beatles did it. The Beatles used
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: to trash. old flames for years afterwards enough already but
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: it's whatever inspires you to write a song which may
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: be a hit hey yes absolutely absolutely if.
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: I'm kelsey i'm watching my p's and q's because if
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: they ever go a separate pass 50 marriages end up
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: in divorce she.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: Will do album after album after album crushing Kelsey. Well,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: that's true. That is absolutely true. He'll end up with
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: no gonads. Why don't we hear from her instead of
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: you for a second after she won her 32nd VMA.
• 47:12
  Speaker 21: Every single song that she wrote, her storytelling was so
• 47:16
  Speaker 21: vivid and so rich. It was like listening to her songs.
• 47:20
  Speaker 21: It's like watching the best music video you have ever
• 47:23
  Speaker 21: seen in your life. Every single time you hear what
• 47:26
  Speaker 21: she has written and she is Man, she handled this
• 47:31
  Speaker 21: thing with such grace and joy and love and gratitude
• 47:35
  Speaker 21: for the fact that she got to do this. And
• 47:38
  Speaker 21: everything that happened in her life or her career, she
• 47:40
  Speaker 21: channeled back into love and gratitude and appreciation for her fans.
• 47:45
  Speaker 21: I am lucky I got to be one of them,
• 47:46
  Speaker 21: and I will always be one of them.
• 47:48
  Speaker 13: Wow.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: Man, is she a great person. How about the fact
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: that she dedicated everything to Dolly Parton and spent all
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: of her time up there in front of the microphone
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: watching talking about Dolly Parton.
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: Isn't that wonderful, Curtis? Other artists did that, too, at
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: the awards. The only one I don't think who did
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: that was Snoop Dogg. He was horrible as the emcee.
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: He probably didn't smoke any ropes of dope before he
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: went up there as the emcee.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: Funny, I didn't hear anybody else, only because she's the
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: only one that anybody cares about and the only sound
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: that was played the next day because she is such
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: an incredible artist.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: You know why you keep bending over backwards? You attacked
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: a Swifties initially.
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: You got so much fallback that you're so burnt out.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: It's like, I love you, Taylor. I love you. Here's
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: the thing. Every once in a while, I can admit
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: when I'm wrong. You should try that every once in
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: a while. Let's get some talkbacks. Hey, guys.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: Hicksville didn't get it very bad, but did.
• 48:43
  Speaker 19: You see in the city the water swirling going down
• 48:47
  Speaker 19: the subway like the toilet that Mom Donnie's turned New
• 48:51
  Speaker 19: York City into?
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: That was priceless. Ah, that was priceless.
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: Well, you can blame him for that, but it's the MTA.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: That's Hochul. That's the money-taking agency, the subways. Oh, that's
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: a tough one. He doesn't run the subways other than
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: the policing.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, let's still blame Mom Donnie.
• 49:08
  Speaker 22: Why is it that everybody is surprised when you live
• 49:12
  Speaker 22: zero to three feet above sea level that there's flooding?
• 49:17
  Speaker 22: I live 900 feet above sea level. if there's flooding
• 49:21
  Speaker 22: up by me then it's a surprise.
• 49:23
  Speaker 23: Then it's time to build the ark right here's here's
• 49:28
  Speaker 23: the thing the people that live in those flood areas
• 49:31
  Speaker 23: aren't surprised who's surprised all the time are the TV reporters.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: They might as well just set up a bureau in
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: those areas.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: Very true.
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: You know, I chastise you because you're letting our race
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: stage you off the hook. I'm telling you, the guy
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: sounded like he was on Quaaludes when he was doing
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: those lead-up weather reports. We get another shot at him
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: in the 8 o'clock hour.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: Wait a second. He always sounds like he's on Quaaludes. Actually,
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: I think that was pretty exciting for him. Let's get
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: to Daria Albinger now with the 7.30 news, Daria.
• 50:02
  Speaker 24: Morning, guys.
• 50:03
  Speaker 13: Showers throughout the midday at Nor'easter is now moving out
• 50:07
  Speaker 13: to sea.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: We'll see a high of 62 degrees.
• 50:10
  Speaker 13: The Nor'easter did leave its calling card on the area,
• 50:13
  Speaker 13: from flooded streets in some areas to power outages to
• 50:16
  Speaker 13: downed trees, and one of those trees fell on a
• 50:18
  Speaker 13: NYCHA worker in Brooklyn over the weekend, killing him. A
• 50:21
  Speaker 13: swimmer who was reported missing during the storm has been
• 50:24
  Speaker 13: found safe and sound.
• 50:25
  Speaker 25: Over the weekend, rescue teams launched a search for an
• 50:28
  Speaker 25: unidentified male swimmer who disappeared off the shores of Fire Island.
• 50:32
  Speaker 25: He was last seen diving into 18-foot waves by Field
• 50:36
  Speaker 25: 3 at Robert Moses State Park around 2.30 p.m.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: On Saturday.
• 50:41
  Speaker 25: The man then contacted authorities when he learned that search
• 50:44
  Speaker 25: crews were looking for him. Officials thanked members of the
• 50:47
  Speaker 25: media and the public for spreading the word about this disappearance.
• 50:51
  Speaker 25: I'm Lizzie Radabali, WOR News.
• 50:53
  Speaker 13: Iran's foreign minister says his country is fully prepared for
• 50:55
  Speaker 13: the war to resume. Abbas Arachi says his country also
• 50:59
  Speaker 13: stands ready for diplomacy. British police may have stopped a
• 51:02
  Speaker 13: potential terror attack on a U.K. air base that's used
• 51:05
  Speaker 13: by the U.S.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: Military.
• 51:07
  Speaker 13: They arrested five men yesterday, acting on a tip about
• 51:09
  Speaker 13: suspicious vehicles heading toward RAF Fairford in western England. Well,
• 51:15
  Speaker 13: the Nor'easter may have uncovered some history on Nantucket, the
• 51:19
  Speaker 13: remains of a 19th century shipwreck.
• 51:21
  Speaker 7: Wooden remnants were spotted on Saturday, and now the Nantucket
• 51:25
  Speaker 7: Currents editor-in-chief believes they may be from the Warren Sawyer shipwreck.
• 51:29
  Speaker 7: a schooner that wrecked about 142 years ago. Similar pieces
• 51:33
  Speaker 7: believed to be from the ship washed ashore in 2022.
• 51:36
  Speaker 7: Museum officials say more investigation is needed to confirm the
• 51:40
  Speaker 7: wreck's identity.
• 51:40
  Speaker 6: I'm Mark Mayfield.
• 51:42
  Speaker 13: Ping Ping and Fu Shang are getting used to their
• 51:44
  Speaker 13: new home at Zoo Atlanta. The pandas that were promised
• 51:47
  Speaker 13: by China's President Xi during his visit last week arrived yesterday.
• 51:51
  Speaker 13: Giants win, Jets lose, Mets end their season with a
• 51:54
  Speaker 13: loss to Washington and the Yankees game against Baltimore was
• 51:56
  Speaker 13: rained out. Next up, Game 1 of the Wild Card
• 51:59
  Speaker 13: Series against Boston. Next news, 8 o'clock, bulletins at once.
• 52:03
  Speaker 13: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Daria. We'll hear more about the Jets and
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: Giants from the legendary Warner Wolf, who is coming up next.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: And our 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival presented by Capital One.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: You can relive all of the biggest moments. It's going
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: to be streaming on Disney Plus and Hulu beginning October 1st.
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: Two games locally and for the analysis, the legendary sportscaster
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: to the videotape, Warner Wolfe. Warner, your analysis of the Giants'
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: win over the Titans.
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 52:43
  Speaker 26: I'll tell you this. Despite the win, you know, I
• 52:47
  Speaker 26: said it last week, there's no way that John Harbaugh
• 52:51
  Speaker 26: is going to entrust the rest of the season with
• 52:55
  Speaker 26: Jameis Winston with 14 games left He's been on the
• 52:59
  Speaker 26: phone since Jason Dart got hurt, and he's on the
• 53:03
  Speaker 26: phone right now as we speak. He is, absolutely, looking
• 53:09
  Speaker 26: for somebody from another team to pick up his backup quarterback.
• 53:14
  Speaker 26: But the key is, what do the other teams want
• 53:18
  Speaker 26: from the Giants, and what would the Giants be willing
• 53:20
  Speaker 26: to give up? I think there are seven options. You've
• 53:26
  Speaker 26: got Tua Taglialloa. Carson Wentz. Remember, he had some good
• 53:31
  Speaker 26: years with the Eagles. Gardner Minshew. These guys are all backups. Now,
• 53:36
  Speaker 26: Mack Jones, you remember him. Justin Fields, who was horrible
• 53:42
  Speaker 26: with the Jets, but he was good with the Bears
• 53:44
  Speaker 26: and Steelers. You have Jimmy Garoppolo. And here is my
• 53:49
  Speaker 26: long shot. Surprise possibility. Harbour's old winning Ravens Super Bowl quarterback,
• 53:58
  Speaker 26: 41-year-old Joe Flacco.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Flacco's been around a lot. You should be the
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: giant general manager, Warner. So tell me, who do you
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: want out of that group? Who would you want if
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: you had your druthers?
• 54:17
  Speaker 26: I think I would right now. And again, you have
• 54:20
  Speaker 26: to understand it's only for this season. He's not going
• 54:24
  Speaker 26: to play next year. Jackson Dart will be back, so
• 54:27
  Speaker 26: it's just to salvage the season. And he's not going
• 54:31
  Speaker 26: to do it with Jameis Winston. So of these guys,
• 54:37
  Speaker 26: I would pick Carson Wentz. He had some great years
• 54:42
  Speaker 26: with the Eagles. You remember that, Larry? And he's playing
• 54:45
  Speaker 26: now with the Vikings. But again, you laughed at that
• 54:50
  Speaker 26: long shot. Joe Flacco.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: Flacco knows Harbaugh. Harbaugh knows Flacco. I only laughed because
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: every single time a quarterback gets hurt, they go, what
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: about Joe Flacco? And he plays well. Every time he
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: plays for somebody, he plays well. So I was only
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: laughing at the fact that his name came up again.
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: His name's going to come up until he's 50.
• 55:13
  Speaker 26: Well, he's laughing at you, too, Larry. He listens every morning.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: All right, what about Jets?
• 55:21
  Speaker 26: Hey, how about those Jets? My man Geno. Who says
• 55:25
  Speaker 26: Geno Smith can't play well against good teams? 31 for 37.
• 55:32
  Speaker 26: 321 yards. Excuse me, three touchdowns and no interceptions. The
• 55:38
  Speaker 26: Jets played well enough to win. But here's the only question.
• 55:42
  Speaker 26: Should Aaron Glenn continue as both the head coach and
• 55:48
  Speaker 26: calling the defensive plays? I don't think so. He doesn't
• 55:52
  Speaker 26: seem to be able to handle both at the same time.
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: Well, one thing we could say about the Jets, Warren,
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: is they're interesting, and they're a hell of a lot
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: better than last year.
• 56:04
  Speaker 26: Yes, I would agree with that. And, by the way,
• 56:08
  Speaker 26: the Jets didn't exactly give Geno a vote of confidence
• 56:12
  Speaker 26: when they signed Will Levis last week. Remember, he bombed
• 56:16
  Speaker 26: out with the Titans two years ago. And it was Levis...
• 56:20
  Speaker 26: who said last month, I know there are not 32
• 56:24
  Speaker 26: quarterbacks in the league better than me. He's right. There
• 56:29
  Speaker 26: are probably 64 quarterbacks in the league better than you,
• 56:33
  Speaker 26: if you count the backups. Here is a boo of
• 56:39
  Speaker 26: the week, maybe boo of the year. You've got to
• 56:42
  Speaker 26: change this rule. In Saturday's USC-Oregon game, USC linebacker Desmond
• 56:49
  Speaker 26: Stephens slammed Oregon quarterback Dante Moore's head into the ground
• 56:55
  Speaker 26: as Moore was attempting to slide at the end of
• 56:58
  Speaker 26: a scramble. Moore was taken off the field on a stretcher,
• 57:03
  Speaker 26: taken in an ambulance to a Los Angeles hospital. He
• 57:07
  Speaker 26: has a concussion. Moore, you know, he could be the
• 57:10
  Speaker 26: Heisman Trophy winner and the number one draft pick. He
• 57:14
  Speaker 26: was able to move his extremities and went back to
• 57:17
  Speaker 26: Oregon with the team. However, Stevens, who was ejected, celebrated
• 57:24
  Speaker 26: the hit while Moore was still on the ground, and
• 57:27
  Speaker 26: then after he was ejected, came back on the field
• 57:31
  Speaker 26: and celebrated even more. Well, Stevens has also been suspended
• 57:37
  Speaker 26: the next game. But that's not enough. Absolutely. And in
• 57:43
  Speaker 26: a lame apology, Stevens said, I take full responsibility for
• 57:49
  Speaker 26: my actions. No kidding. Who else? You've got to change.
• 57:55
  Speaker 26: And you know that was written for him.
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely.
• 57:58
  Speaker 26: You've got to change the rule.
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: I was surprised she could read it.
• 58:01
  Speaker 26: That's right. When the perpetrator commits a personal foul like Stevens,
• 58:08
  Speaker 26: he should be out for as long as the victim
• 58:11
  Speaker 26: is out. And that goes for the National Football League,
• 58:15
  Speaker 26: the National Hockey League, and the NBA.
• 58:18
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 58:19
  Speaker 26: Here was the... suspicious coach of the week. Man, this
• 58:25
  Speaker 26: was bad. Pitt was a 53-and-a-half-point favorite over Bucknell, but
• 58:32
  Speaker 26: led by only 52 points, 52 to nothing, with just
• 58:37
  Speaker 26: 25 seconds left in the game and the ball at
• 58:40
  Speaker 26: the Bucknell 18-yard line. Well, one running play or let
• 58:46
  Speaker 26: the quarterback take a knee and the game's over, right? Wrong. Wrong.
• 58:50
  Speaker 26: The Pitt quarterback threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to win
• 58:56
  Speaker 26: 59-0 and beat the spread.
• 58:59
  Speaker 4: Come on, coach.
• 59:00
  Speaker 26: Did you bet on the game and give the 53.5 points?
• 59:06
  Speaker 26: So you have your Red Sox-Yankees best two out of
• 59:10
  Speaker 26: three beginning here tomorrow. Man, look at the pitching matchups.
• 59:15
  Speaker 26: Cam Schlittler, Max Freed, and Garrett Cole will go against
• 59:21
  Speaker 26: Sonny Gray, Peyton Tolling, and Rainer Suarez. Yankees won that
• 59:26
  Speaker 26: season series seven games to six. because the Yanks have
• 59:31
  Speaker 26: the best American League record wild card, all three games
• 59:35
  Speaker 26: against the Red Sox.
• 59:36
  Speaker 4: Will be here.
• 59:37
  Speaker 26: And the winner then advances to play the division-winning Rays
• 59:42
  Speaker 26: in the best round, three out of five. All right,
• 59:45
  Speaker 26: serious question. Ask yourself this. When Benjamin Netanyahu told the
• 59:52
  Speaker 26: UN it's survival, what other choice do we have? If
• 59:57
  Speaker 26: the United States was only the size of New Jersey,
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 26: and surrounded by enemies who have threatened to annihilate us,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 26: what would we do? We would do the exact same
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 26: thing as Israel. It's called survival. I rest my case.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: Appreciate that, Warner Wolf. Same time, same place next week,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: and we'll have the results of your picks. But right now,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: up next, we're going to go to the car guy
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: who's going to give us some info about Earl. And
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: not olive oil, 75%, which is fake, but motor oil. Now,
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: it's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: Well, this is the segment where we normally have Natalie Migliore,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: so we kind of played that as a reminder for
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: you that she's been off, but she is going to
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: be back on Wednesday. Natalie Migliore is going to be
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: back on Wednesday, and we're looking forward to it. Now,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: you've seen a lot of the video, right, of cars
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: with water up past the doors and people trying to
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: drive through flooded areas. What kind of damage does that
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: do to a car? Luckily, we have one of the
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: best in the area to talk about that, Ron Ananian,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: host of The Car Doctor, which is available weekly on
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. He's also owner of RA Automotive in Waldwick,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: New Jersey. So we want to talk about a couple
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: of things, but let's start with that because you've got
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of people dealing with it right now, Ron.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: First of all, good to have you back. And also,
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: what should people be doing if their cars were flooded out?
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 4: Well, if their cars are flooded out, Larry, good morning,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 4: by the way, to everybody. If their cars are flooded
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 4: out before driving it, a mechanical review, and I would
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 4: consider calling my insurance company because it doesn't take much
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 4: to total a modern-day car, even if you didn't drive it.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 4: If the water gets above the center of the wheels
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 4: and it gets inside the vehicle, there's an awful lot
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 4: of computer power in there that just got wet. And
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 4: is it going to be fixable, repairable, corrected? You don't know,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 4: and you don't want to start taking that chance and
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 4: just assume. Even if the car runs good today, you
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 4: still want to have it checked by a mechanic and
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 4: looked over because water goes everywhere.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: Now, Ron, this is Curtis Sliwa. If you're shopping for
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 3: a used car, a pre-owned car as they now call it,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: sometimes they might be cars that actually went through a
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: flooding situation. How could you check to make sure you're
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: not getting a potential lemon in that regard?
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 4: You look in the trunk. Good morning, Curtis, by the way.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: You look in the trunk. You look at the spare tire.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 4: Even if the spare tire well is dry, nobody ever
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: looks in the trunk. It's really kind of amazing. My
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 4: 50 years of doing this, every time I catch it,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 4: it's the spare tire well will be dry. If it
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 4: doesn't have water in it, it's dry. But there's a
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 4: ring around the well, like the ring around the bathtub.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 4: You can see that it had water in it, and
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 4: it's real obvious. The other thing is if you're buying
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 4: a used car, don't be afraid to ask the dealer,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 4: is this a local car? Did you have this on
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 4: the lot? Where did you get it from? because sometimes
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 4: they come from other areas, and even the dealer doesn't
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: know they're buying a flood car. So it's a problem
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 4: for everybody. Diligence is the word that comes to mind
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: when I'm dealing with flood cars. You've got to look
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: at everything.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: We're hearing a lot about a motor oil shortage. What
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: should people be doing right now to make sure that
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: they are getting motor oil, maybe at the prices they
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: are now? Because if there's a shortage, they're going to
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: go up and up and up.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 4: Well, it's already gone up, Larry. What I was paying
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 4: $ 100 for in April, I'm now paying $ 172. Oh, my gosh. Yeah,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 4: that's a 72% increase. There's a shortage of all the
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 4: lighter viscosity oils, the 08, the 016, the 020s. There's
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 4: an extreme shortage of all that. A lot of the
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 4: manufacturing is overseas. A lot of the manufacturing plants don't
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 4: seem to exist anymore for one reason or another. So
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 4: it's a game that if you're going for an oil change,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't wait, you know, oh, gee, I've only got
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 4: 5,000 on it. I'm going to stretch it another 1,000 miles.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 4: You may not have the option of choice of availability,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 4: much less price, because it's a two-pronged problem. It's price
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 4: and availability. I've got the shop stacked, ceiling to floor
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 4: with oil. I saw this coming in April. I've been
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 4: buying oil since mid-August. I was placed on a two-case-a-day
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 4: restriction back at the beginning of the summer. Two and
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 4: a half, three weeks ago, I was placed on a
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 4: one case a week restriction. So it's there. It's gotten bad.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 4: And you're seeing the story break across the country now.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 4: And I'm happy to say we're breaking it here in
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 4: New York as far as breaking news because it's a
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 4: big deal without oil. They're going nowhere.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: Ron, when I got out of high school, I was
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: pumping gas, and I would actually take the dipstick and
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: check people's oil. And at times when it would come
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 3: out thick and black and gooey, I'd show them. I'd say,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 3: you really need an oil change. And the guy would
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: tell me, mind your own business. Just pump the gas
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: and leave me be. What should a person be doing
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: in terms of the difference in how many months between
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: oil changes?
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 4: So my rule, Ron's rule, is five months, 5,000 miles
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 4: on the majority of vehicles. Can you stretch it to
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 4: 7,000 or 8,000 miles, six or seven months? You sure
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 4: can if you're buying a good grade, a good quality
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 4: of oil. But this conversation is about, is that good
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 4: quality of oil still available? And it's not. There's such
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 4: a shortage right now. And people are going to see
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 4: it when they go to buy that oil change, and
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 4: you're going to see it over the next four to
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 4: six months in terms of availability. My understanding is from
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 4: my supply houses, we're going to see a big price
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 4: bump come the end of October, and we expect the
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 4: shortage to peak somewhere mid-November to late November. Now, this
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 4: isn't a case for panic. I don't want anybody to
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 4: panic here. There's availability. You're going to pay more. Don't
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 4: start stockpiling oil. I've got a supply of oil because
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 4: I've got a lot of cars to do. If you're
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 4: doing your own car, buy two oil changes ahead. That's
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 4: all you'll probably need because if it goes beyond that,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 4: we've got bigger problems.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: Great information. Thanks so much. Ron Ananian, host of The
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: Car Doctor, available weekly on the iHeartRadio app and owner
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: of R.A. Automotive in Waldwick, New Jersey. When we come back,
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: we're going to check in with Ray Stajic again about
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: the weather that was and the weather that is going
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: to be. That's right after the news. Well, this Nor'easter
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: we had was interesting, wasn't it? Because we were told
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: it was going to hit hard, and it did. It
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: absolutely did. But it hit hard along the shoreline. There
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: are some people that will tell you, oh, geez, it
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: wasn't that bad because they were farther inland. So let's
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: talk more about that and get some of the numbers
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: with the man you just heard from a second ago,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: Ray Stajic, WOR weather channel meteorologist. Ray, in many ways,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: I know it was one storm, but it was almost
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: a tale of two storms because if you were on
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: the coastline, my God, it was like Armageddon. But if
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: you were a little bit inland, it was just rain.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 15: Yeah, and coastal flooding, beach erosion, significant. Even out ahead
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 15: of when the main load developed, we had multiple days
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 15: of a pressure gradient wind, which was basically strong high
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 15: pressure to the north and weaker low pressure to the south.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 15: Then we got the nor'easter to develop, and the slow
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 15: movement and even that movement back toward the west just
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 15: kept pushing the water in along the coastline. And yeah,
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 15: there have been some comparisons, I would say, in isolated
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 15: areas to maybe water as high as what we did
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 15: receive in Sandy. But As for overall widespread significant, as
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 15: you said, significant impacts, we didn't see a bunch of
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 15: flooding from the rain coming out of the sky, and
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 15: we had some scattered power outages. We were expecting that
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 15: with strong winds. The winds did gust, at least isolated
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 15: one reported wind gust at Montauk Point over 80 miles
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 15: an hour, but that was in the lighthouse, which I
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 15: think was a couple hundred feet above the ground. So
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 15: that strong wind didn't translate down to the surface, but still,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 15: we had gusts. Tropical storm force winds on Long Island
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 15: and New England. Luckily, luckily, didn't see widespread heavy rain
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 15: and flooding because of kind of the on-again, off-again nature
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 15: of the rain. And we didn't see more in terms
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 15: of wind damage and even worse in terms of some
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 15: of the water rise. But as we had said, it
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 15: was significant in some spots.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, well, thank you, Ray, for not hiding behind the
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 3: fact that there was a high tide and a full
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 3: moon like I've heard before. some of your brothers and
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: sisters in solidarity. What role, if any, did that play
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: with all the flooding?
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 15: Well, certainly it played a pretty significant role of high
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 15: tide and not only a full moon, so abnormally high
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 15: tide too. And there's another one coming this afternoon. That's
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 15: why the Coastal Flood Advisory is in Till 2 p.m.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 15: So with the full moon, you'll get an abnormally high tide.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 15: And so that's why the water coming in was a
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 15: little bit higher. And it will be again. We'll probably
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 15: have another inundation here. Probably not to what we saw
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 15: over the weekend, but the water is going to come
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 15: up again at high tide this afternoon.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: One of the biggest problems along the shoreline has been
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: beach erosion. And it's stunning, some of the pictures, especially
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: from Atlantic City. There was a cliff. I mean, you
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: would actually go along the beach and then it just
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: dropped off. What causes that? How does that happen?
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 15: Well, that was more of the persistent just onshore flow
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 15: around the high and the low developing. And it started
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 15: days before the storm was even formed because of how
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 15: strong that high was. And you just keep pounding away,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 15: and the water doesn't have any opportunity to recede back
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 15: into the Atlantic. So it just stays up, and with
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 15: each push and each continued push of water in, and
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 15: then you throw the storm on top of that with
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 15: even stronger winds and the high tides and the full
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 15: moon pushing all that water in, basically you just wear
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 15: the base of that sand and that cliff out, and
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 15: eventually it falls.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 3: Now I want you to put your sinking cap on now, Ray,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 3: because you're very laid back, very stoic at times. Should
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: we look at the glasses if it's half full, not
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: half empty, and the fact that we haven't had any hurricanes,
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 3: but we've had all these nor'easters and flooding that started
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 3: back on Memorial Day?
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: Is that the way we should look at this?
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 15: I would look at it half full.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: What a shock.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, man, I'm trying every way I can to hook
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 3: this guy.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 26: You're trying.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 15: Here is my one concern. So I do have a
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 15: little concern as we get into the winter months now.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 15: We're going into this super.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: El Nino, right?
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 15: Everybody's heard of that. We're already there. And during El
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 15: Nino winters, traditionally, there's an opportunity for more East Coast storms.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 15: So is this the beginning of an early nor'easter season?
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 15: Because typically you don't see this until later in the
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 15: fall or even into the winter months, these nor'easters. Is
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 15: this a sign of things to come? Because if this
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 15: had any cold air with it, if this was the
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 15: middle of winter and it was cold enough, this would
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 15: be a whole heck of a lot of snow. We'd
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 15: be talking about something different. So the other thing I
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 15: would say, no hurricanes. That record continues in the Atlantic.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 15: There's some chatter in the meteorological community, though, that The
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 15: National Hurricane Center could go back and look at this
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 15: and say that, oh, maybe it did get some tropical characteristics.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 15: So they may go back and do something in terms
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 15: of was it a hurricane or was it a tropical
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 15: storm or was it not? From the way it looked
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 15: on the satellite presentation, it sure did. look and have
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 15: the feel of it, but it's all about the dynamics
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 15: and the thermodynamics with inside the center of the storm.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 3: Larry, you part of that chatter, you know, you weather guys,
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 3: you know, that nonsensical chatter that goes back and forth.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: They threw me out a long time ago. Listen, you,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: I noticed when you talked about the hurricanes, you talked
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: about the Atlantic because you can't tell Hawaii there hasn't
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: been hurricanes.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 15: No, you can't. And what do we've got? So we've
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 15: got Polo off the West coast of Mexico going to
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 15: go into the, Baja of California, that was up to
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 15: a 180 mile per hour hurricane at one point. And
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 15: then you've got Lolo, I think, that went south of
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 15: Hawaii and gave them Lolo, Lolo, Lolo. I know there's
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 15: Polo and Lolo. This is what typically happens again in
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 15: an El Nino hurricane season. You get more activity in
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 15: the Pacific than you do the Atlantic, and that's working
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 15: out just like it's supposed to climatologically.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're getting hit right now, right?
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 15: In Hawaii, yes. Luckily, not a landfall, but there's been
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 15: some unsettled weather. The track's a little further south than
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 15: they were anticipating, maybe the middle of last week. So
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 15: the effects may be not as extreme, but still more
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 15: rain and some gusty winds and high surf for the
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 15: Big Island and the islands of Hawaii.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: All right, Ray. I look forward to the next time
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: I can attack you, Ray. I was going to say,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: Ray Stajic, you are the best, despite what Curtis Lewis says.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: WOR Weather Channel meteorologist. Thanks so much, Ray.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: I have a lot of friends who are huge Bruce
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: Springsteen fans, would go to the Stone Pony if they
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: thought he might show up. If there was a rumor
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: that he was on the boardwalk in Asbury Park, they
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: would go there. They would go to see the museum
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: for him at the Monmouth University. Just obsessed with him.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: Everything about him they wanted to be near and wanted
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: to touch. And one of those things... is his home,
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: his cottage. It's a very modest cottage in Long Branch,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: New Jersey, where he grew up as a child, I
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: think from six years old up through high school before
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: he became a big star. And it's where he wrote
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: most of the songs for the Born to Run album,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: the one that really launched him into superstardom. Well, there
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: was a fire there, not in the cottage. Because the
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: cottage is really modest. It's small, but there's a big
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: building right next door. And that's what caught fire. And
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: there was this big concern because there's even a plaque
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: outside the house. This is the birthplace and this is
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: the home, the childhood home of Bruce Springsteen. There was
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: real concern, not that the fire was going to spread
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: because the fire department in Long Branch did an excellent job,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: but that it was going to collapse soon. And so
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: I'm happy to tell people that were concerned about this
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: that they moved in quickly and they've now taken that
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: building down. But we came extremely close to losing that home.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: Wait a second.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 3: I thought he was in the one percenters in Rumson
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 3: with them and then Colts Neck. Boy, he's really moved
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 3: on from those days.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: He made a lot of money.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but a totally different kind of people who live
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: in those neighborhoods. He has a farm, right?
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: He gets a huge tax break because of his farm.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: He gets what in Jersey you get, the property tax rebate,
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: signed by whoever is the governor there because he's Farmer Bruce.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: You know, you mentioned the Stone Pony.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 5: The summer stage that they put out outside of it
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 5: during the storm, the big canvas roof part of it,
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 5: That's gone. So hopefully they'll get that back up because
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 5: I believe they still have some concerts in the summer
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 5: stage coming up in October.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I've gone to the Stone Pony
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: when I thought he was going to get up. I've
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: gone a couple of times. Never happens.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: Disappointed.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: But you ain't doing it no more, right? If you
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 3: happen to hear that he would be in Asbury Park performing,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 3: I have a feeling because of his social political awareness campaign,
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: you would be miles away.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 4: Probably.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: Probably. Probably. There's part of me that still has an
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: affinity for Bruce Springsteen, but I like to remember what
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: he was and not what he's become. Let's get some talkbacks.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 11: All this AI stuff is giving me a Y2K vibe.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 11: It's like these companies create the hype just like Y2K.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 11: Government spends a lot of money to help them solve it.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 11: In this case, AI, they want a lot of money
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 11: to put up the guardrails that they're already working on,
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 11: but they get money from governments all over the world
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 11: because of all this nonsense about how it's going to
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 11: take over like Terminator. It's all BS.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 3: I like that comparison to Y2 Chaos. Remember, the whole
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 3: world was supposed to stop. And then all of a
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 3: sudden we realized nothing stopped.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: It all continued on. Yeah, it was a lot of
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: hype and nothing.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 9: On AI, Larry is 100% correct. And so is President Trump.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 15: I mean, the same climate change hoax guys were telling
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 15: us we're going to die.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: Now they switched over to this. It's all about regulation
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: and money and power.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 15: If you think anybody cares about people dying, I saw
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 15: your bridge in Brooklyn.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: Hey, there's another comparison. You know what I mean? There
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: have been a lot of hoaxes. We've gone through a
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: lot of hoaxes.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 9: It seems the AI discussion has entered a mutually assured
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 9: destruction phase. Since these AI corporations are multinational in nature,
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 9: they really have no No allegiance to any particular nation,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 9: be it China or the United States. If restrictions are
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 9: put on in one country and not in another, it
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 9: really doesn't matter. They'll just move their facilities and their
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 9: research there.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: And now it's 8.30 and let's get the news with Daria.

• 1:18:14
  Speaker 13: about a police-involved shooting last month of a knife-wielding man
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 13: in Times Square.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 24: The NYPD is releasing body cam footage of the incident
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 24: in which 49-year-old Pamela Cisneros was shot by cops on
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 24: August 31st after she allegedly stabbed two people, killing a
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 24: 32-year-old mother and injuring a 69-year-old man. Police are heard
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 24: pleading with Cisneros to drop her two knives. Moments later,
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 24: she lunged at officers and was shot and killed. The
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 24: knives were recovered at the scene. Police say Cisneros had
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 24: a history of mental illness. Larry Kofsky, WOR News.

  Speaker 13: Attorney General Todd Blanch backs President Trump's attempt to ban
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 13: three major news outlets from the White House over what
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 13: he says is negative coverage and fake news. That's despite
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 13: a federal judge's order that CNN, MSNOW, and Politico's access
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 13: be restored for at least two weeks. Blanche says being
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 13: there is not a right, it's a privilege. Walmart says
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 13: it's going to use digital labels in its stores, and
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 13: that has some shoppers worried.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 18: Digital price labels let stores change prices instantly from a
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 18: central computer. Walmart says customers that are browsing that item
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 18: will not be profiled. CEO John Furner says shoppers' income,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 18: purchase history, or willingness to pay won't affect the price.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 18: Neither will the time of day they're shopping. Last month,
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 18: the Federal Trade Commission said that it's putting companies on
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 18: notice that the practice of personalizing pricing could violate consumer

  Speaker 1: concert at Madison Square Garden. What a show. November 19th,
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: another chance to win tomorrow at 825. It is one
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: of the most watched races in the country and could
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: decide who takes the house between Tom Kane Jr. and
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: Lindsey Bennett of New Jersey. It happened last night. It's
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: going to be the only debate we'll tell you about
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: the winners and losers when we come back. And our
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival presented by Capital One. Relive all
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: the biggest moments streaming on Disney Plus and Hulu beginning
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: October 5th. October 1st, excuse me. Beginning October 1st, it
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: streams on Disney Plus and Hulu. Ah, here we are.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: Trying to cut us off, huh? I was talking. No,
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: I saw your lips open there. I said to myself, oh, Sabatucci, huh?
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: There's been so, as I was saying, there's been so
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: much gerrymandering and so much political redistricting in the country
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: that right now there are only a handful of congressional
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: seats that are going to decide who takes control of
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: the House of Representatives. And one of the most fought after,
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: where a lot of money is going to be spent,
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: is the 7th District seat in New Jersey, currently held
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: by Tom Kane Jr. But it goes back and forth
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: and back and forth. There's been Democrats that have held it.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: There have been Republicans that have held it. It really,
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: truly is a purple district. So last night, they had
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: a debate. It is their only debate. And no, it
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: wasn't televised. Congressional seats rarely get televised. And if you
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: look at the video on television, not very good. The audio,
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: not very good. And the truth is, I was going
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: to save this till the end, but the truth is
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: that unless there's a huge mistake or unless somebody does
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: something in the debate that is way out of bounds,
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: it doesn't get covered. It rarely gets covered, but we're
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: going to cover it here because the seat is so important.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: This is the debate now between Tom Kane Jr., who
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: currently holds the seat, and Rebecca Bennett, who is a businesswoman.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: And by the way, in the debate, maybe two dozen times,
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: she reminded us that she used to be a Navy pilot.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: That came up over and over and over again. A
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: helicopter pilot. Yeah, exactly. And she, by the way, if
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: you took one thing away from that debate, she said
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: that over and over again. But as is the case
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: with most of these debates, it is the person running
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: against an incumbent that goes on the attack. Now let's
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: hear the two of them talk about tariffs.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 15: Did you say that it was not Congress's responsibility to
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 15: levy tariffs?
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 27: My focus is saying that the president right now is
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 27: using it appropriately, and I support his use in that regard.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 4: That's all right.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 6: Do you want to respond to that?
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 14: Congress is the one that should be levying tariffs.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 4: Great.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 27: Thank you.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so they disagreed on tariffs. This was what you
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: just heard right there. That was the debate for the
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: most part. Now, Rebecca Bennett tried to score some points,
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: and she went after him saying, and this is an
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: age-old accusation, and sometimes it's very, very true, like in
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: the case of Nancy Pelosi, about how congressmen get into
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: office and congresswomen get into office and try to enrich
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: themselves with their positions.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 14: The reason that we are seeing this increase in our
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 14: gas prices is because of this unnecessary war that we're
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 14: seeing in Iran. And I just want to be clear
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 14: here because my opponent, Congressman Tom Kane Jr., has voted
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 14: three times now to let this war to continue without
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 14: any congressional oversight. And you might ask, why is it
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 14: that he's continuing to do this? It's because he has
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 14: taken over $ 100, 000 in corporate PAC money and he has
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 14: traded over $ 100, 000 in oil and gas stocks. And so ultimately,
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 14: he is making these decisions to enrich himself personally. And
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 14: I am doing this because I want to make sure
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 14: we are making all of our lives better.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: All right. Now, just to be fair, let's get Tom
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: Kane Jr. 's response to that accusation.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 27: In fact, every three months it's reported. So, in fact,
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 27: I've gone further than the ethics committee recommended by also
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 27: saying no short sailing. And no investing companies in countries
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 27: that want to do us harm. So I've got a
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 27: blind structure in which I have no involvement and no input.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 27: In fact, David, she was corrected by you because she's
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 27: been lying about this for so long.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: The truth is this debate's not going to affect the
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: election in any way, but it's important that they do it.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: Neither of them had a big flub. There was no
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: news made out of it, and that's what you want.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: It's going to be decided in the commercials. Well, one
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: thing I couldn't understand, Tom Kane Jr.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 3: very supportive of the president's war in Iran, but then
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 3: he added, I would send U.S. troops to defend Israel,
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 3: and even the strongest defenders of Israel are not advocating
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 3: for that.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: Israel can handle its own business. We've seen that.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 3: So I don't know why he decided to do that,
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 3: but I would tell you if I lived in that district,
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 3: I would refuse to exercise my right to vote because,
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 3: you know, they have this frivolous section where they ask
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 3: these stupid questions that eat up precious talk time that
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 3: should be devoted to serious issues.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: And they said, hey, Tom, would you eat pizza with
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: pineapple on it?
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: And then what did Bennett say? Yeah, me too.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 3: I said, wait, wait, idiots. Pineapple on pizzas in California.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 3: Nobody eats pineapple on pizza in New Jersey or New York.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 3: That is a disgraciada. That is a shanda. That was
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 3: a question that was asked in the one and only debate.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 3: There should be two debates mandatory. But, oh, well, we'll
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 3: just do one debate. What a stupid question to ask.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 3: I will tell you this.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: In most of the districts in New Jersey and most
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: of the districts across America, there'll be no debates. Because
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: if you're far ahead, why would you agree to a debate?
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: So it is not a requirement. That's a good idea.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: I've never heard that before, that they should require a debate.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: Two debates.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 3: You give the person who may have lost the first
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 3: debate a comeback opportunity. I had two debates for mayor.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 3: There's only going to be one debate for governor. You
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 3: say to yourself, the people aren't entitled to look at
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 3: these people two separate times when sometimes issues change between
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 3: both debates. That's the least we can do for the
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 3: voters to allow them to eyeball the people that they're
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 3: telling you.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: Hey, we want you to vote for us. In New York, though,
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: it's a requirement because it's attached to the money, right?
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you accept the money from the city
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: or the state.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 3: Well, now there's matching funds in the statewide election for
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 3: the first time. Hochul has opted out. And obviously the
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 3: challenger of Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman has opted in.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 3: But one, come on, it should be a minimal of two.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 3: If we did it in running for mayor, why wouldn't
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 3: you do it for these other serious positions that people
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 3: have to make decisions on?
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: No, I agree with you. It's just that I'm trying
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: to figure out how that would happen. I guess it
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: would have to be a state law, but then it's
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: a federal election, so it has to be a federal law.
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: I don't think you get enough votes for that.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 3: How many times did Trump debate? on his way to
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 3: the presidency, like 5,852 times the first time?
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a little bit different. That's a little bit different.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: But it's the congressional debates where you don't get anything.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 3: But anyway, it's AI on Capitol Hill before Trump and
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 3: Vance go on the campaign trail for the last final
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 3: 30 days. And we'll recap what's coming up. This is
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 3: a big summit on Tuesday with all the big muckety-mucks
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 3: in the business. Larry, the president of the United States
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 3: left that presidential golf tournament in order to be at
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 3: the White House last night at 10 o'clock.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: I never heard of this.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 3: A 10 o'clock dinner with a person who has been
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 3: an adversary of his and the Pentagon, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodi.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 3: We don't know what the results of that dinner were,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 3: but it all comes in advance of a major summit
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 3: that the Trump administration has called for on Tuesday involving
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 3: all the key figures involved with artificial intelligence at all
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 3: different levels, whether they're friends or foes. Because remember, the
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 3: president still has to announce who his AI czar is
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 3: going to be. He said he would before the start
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 3: of the UN General Assembly and also his AI committee.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 3: So I'm sure a lot of that will come out
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 3: as a result of these meetings and the session. But
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 3: it has certainly come out of nowhere to become a
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 3: major issue. And the president must do more than just
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 3: call it fake news because there's just too many people
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 3: from too many places talking about the seriousness of it.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 3: I think he has to listen to everybody.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: Come up with a policy.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 3: I understand he's got to determine the policy, but the
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 3: old fake news thing is just not going to carry
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 3: through this election cycle.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: No, and he doesn't have to do anything of substance
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: to tell you the truth. He just has to do something.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of Democrats calling for an AI czar.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: That's an easy one. He can make an AI czar
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: before the midterms, and he could get someone that everybody
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: looks up to, both sides look up to. That'd be smart.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: That'll put the issue on the back burner. I think
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: you're going to hear something like that in the next
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks, because The issue is not going to
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: go away, and especially because you have some really loud,
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: loudspeaker voices in the AI and in the high-tech community.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: They're going to be pounding and pounding and pounding away
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: at this. As I said earlier in the show, I
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: question their motives. I think that the answer to every
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: mystery is money, and I think they're looking for more
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: money and more control. But you're right. You're right. It's
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: become an issue. A lot of people don't understand it,
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: and that's always the scariest of issues. So he's got
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: to do something. And I got a feeling you're going
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: to hear this, R.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 3: At the end of the AI summit, though, both the
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 3: president and Vice President Vance have their marching orders. They
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 3: are going to be crisscrossing the country. to try to
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 3: get out the Republican vote, to try to get their
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 3: message out before the midterms, before it's determined on November 3rd.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 3: So they got something making up to do. The polls
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 3: are not promising. And it's got to be, I think, Larry,
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 3: it's got to be a solid message. They can't be
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 3: all over the map. They got to address the issues
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 3: that are of concern to all Americans, which I've seen
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 3: just on this trip to upstate New York. You know,
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 3: the price of gas, the price of diesel, the price
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 3: of home heating, fuel oil, mortgage rates, groceries. You know,
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 3: the issues that people face every week, they really got
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 3: to get focused on those issues.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: I agree with you, but it's also important to point
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: out the alternative. And that's what they're doing. They're trying
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: to do, and they've done in their ads extremely well. Yeah,
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: you're complaining right now, but remember what it was. And
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: remember what the people that are running for office have said.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: And remember what the future is going to look like
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: with Democrats in office. And all of the things, how
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: they ruined the country in the past, that may happen again.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: So it's going to be really fascinating because it's going
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: to be the tale of the present and the tale
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: of the past. And that's what's going to run. I
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: will say, I will admit that usually the present wins.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: But they're spending a lot of money talking about how
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: weird the Democratic Party is. We can talk about that
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: more during the week and we're going to have to
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: ramp up our coverage of the midterms because it's getting
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: into the heat of it.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 3: Tomorrow, tickets to see Stevie Wonder at the sold-out Madison
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 3: Square Garden concert at 825. You don't want to miss that.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 3: And the talkback of the morning and winner of the
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 3: Curtis Lee and Larry Menti in the morning t-shirt is
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 3: not believing the AI hype.
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 11: All this AI stuff is giving me a Y2K vibe.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 11: It's like these companies create the hype just like Y2K.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 11: Government spends a lot of money to help them solve it.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 11: In this case, AI, they want a lot of money
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 11: to put up the guardrails that they're already working on,
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 11: but they get money from governments all over the world
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 11: because of all this nonsense about how it's going to
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 11: take over like Terminator.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 6: It's all BS.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 3: Ah, like Y2K, I forgot about all that. And remember,
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 3: the Talkback of the Week will win a C-Crane radio.
