Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Oh, Larry and Natalie yesterday. Natalie Migliore was sampling opinions
- 0:07Speaker 1: with the rebirth redevelopment of the Port Authority that is
- 0:11Speaker 1: causing chaos for New Jersey folks coming in to the
- 0:16Speaker 1: Lincoln Tunnel. And today, you should have seen our own Natalie, producer.
- 0:23Speaker 1: I saw fire and smoke coming out of your nostrils
- 0:27Speaker 1: and your ears because you were so ticked off at
- 0:31Speaker 1: what has now happened as a result of this maybe
- 0:34Speaker 1: years-long redevelopment.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Wait, what is the reason for the— it' s not the backup there.
- 0:41Speaker 2: That's still Gateway, isn't it?
- 0:44Speaker 1: Well, I think it's both now.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Because it's been Gateway for a long time. And they
- 0:48Speaker 2: haven't really started.
- 0:48Speaker 3: The other one.
- 0:49Speaker 2: Right.
- 0:50Speaker 4: But so something definitely has changed in the past week
- 0:53Speaker 4: because it's gotten a lot worse.
- 0:55Speaker 2: They just closed down different roads. The one we use,
- 0:59Speaker 2: they go back and forth and back and forth and
- 1:01Speaker 2: back and forth. It's the same construction.
- 1:03Speaker 5: I mean, the Lincoln Tunnel, as we know, was built
- 1:05Speaker 5: a long time ago.
- 1:07Speaker 6: It's.
- 1:08Speaker 4: The Helix is probably not the best for the amount
- 1:11Speaker 4: of traffic that's coming in.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:13Speaker 5: But we deal.
- 1:14Speaker 4: Now you're going to have two major projects going on
- 1:19Speaker 4: right on the other side of the tunnel. This is insane.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:24Speaker 5: I don't know what you could do.
- 1:26Speaker 2: It's going to get worse because they're going to start
- 1:28Speaker 2: closing down some of the tunnels. That's the next phase
- 1:32Speaker 2: in this. Right now the phase is in the outside tunnel.
- 1:35Speaker 2: And so what they do is there's only two ways.
- 1:37Speaker 2: When you get out of the tunnel, you can take
- 1:38Speaker 2: a right, you can take a left, right? That's the
- 1:40Speaker 2: only two ways you can go. And they've been cutting
- 1:43Speaker 2: off one at a time. And we like to go
- 1:47Speaker 2: to the left when we get out, and that's cut off.
- 1:49Speaker 7: You know what?
- 1:50Speaker 4: I'll go anywhere that doesn't take me 20 minutes at 4.30.
- 1:54Speaker 5: In the morning to get somewhere.
- 1:57Speaker 2: No, I'm there at 4.30 in the morning.
- 2:00Speaker 4: Well, honestly, the traffic, you should not be sitting in traffic,
- 2:05Speaker 4: dead stop traffic, you know, in 4 o'clock in the morning.
- 2:07Speaker 8: Just you shouldn't.
- 2:08Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 2:09Speaker 1: I don't know, Chris.
- 2:09Speaker 6: I don't know, Larry.
- 2:10Speaker 1: I don't know what anybody's going to do about this.
- 2:12Speaker 5: Probably nothing. But you know what they could do?
- 2:14Speaker 4: Maybe put some more public transportation from New Jersey coming in.
- 2:18Speaker 5: Which they don't.
- 2:19Speaker 4: I live in northern New Jersey, probably one of the
- 2:21Speaker 4: most populated, densely populated areas in the country. I cannot
- 2:26Speaker 4: take a bus or a train from anywhere near my
- 2:30Speaker 4: house before 5 a.m.
- 2:31Speaker 2: There's a lot of buses just not near your house.
- 2:34Speaker 2: There's something to have against you because when I leave here,
- 2:38Speaker 2: there's a line of buses I can't believe. And they're
- 2:41Speaker 2: all in that single lane on the Helix. All of
- 2:44Speaker 2: them are in that single lane. There must be 50
- 2:46Speaker 2: buses that go all the way back to the turnpike.
- 2:50Speaker 5: Anyway, enough complaining.
- 2:51Speaker 4: If you're coming through the Lincoln Tunnel, just brace yourself.
- 2:54Speaker 2: No, yeah, you're right. And you got pushed back so
- 2:56Speaker 2: far today. You didn't even miss the discount on congestion pricing.
- 3:00Speaker 6: I know.
- 3:01Speaker 4: Did you really add insult to injury? I usually get
- 3:04Speaker 4: in before 5, so you only pay $ 2.
- 3:05Speaker 6: 25.
- 3:05Speaker 4: Well, that didn't happen this morning. Nine bucks in their
- 3:09Speaker 4: pockets today.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Okay, I'm done.
- 3:11Speaker 2: And the worst thing, let me go on, because the
- 3:14Speaker 2: other problem is, can they get together and decide how
- 3:19Speaker 2: many projects they're going to do at the same time?
- 3:21Speaker 2: Because they're also working on the streets. So then you
- 3:24Speaker 2: can only go one way getting out of the Lincoln Tunnel.
- 3:26Speaker 2: They make you go to the right or left. And
- 3:28Speaker 2: then sometimes the streets closed right when you get there
- 3:31Speaker 2: because of another project on the on the. I had
- 3:34Speaker 2: to go all the way over to the east side
- 3:37Speaker 2: to go around and come back to the station. The
- 3:40Speaker 2: other day, because there was two streets closed that early
- 3:43Speaker 2: in the morning, and they seem to only do this
- 3:45Speaker 2: stuff overnight, right?
- 3:47Speaker 1: It's not like this.
- 3:48Speaker 2: There's a certain hour when they open things up.
- 3:50Speaker 4: Well, yeah, usually after 5 a.m., most of the construction
- 3:54Speaker 4: is put to rest for the night.
- 3:56Speaker 2: But- Oh, so nobody else cares.
- 3:57Speaker 4: But, you know, because they have normal congestion because they
- 4:00Speaker 4: have more people coming in during the daytime. So they
- 4:02Speaker 4: have their own issues. Obviously, people coming in now, you know,
- 4:05Speaker 4: it's just starting to build up. You know, it is
- 4:08Speaker 4: not an easy life here in the city.
- 4:09Speaker 1: No, not at all. It is not.
- 4:11Speaker 2: There's always something. It's always something. Now, does this, when
- 4:16Speaker 2: the winter starts, do they stop a lot of these projects?
- 4:19Speaker 1: Probably not.
- 4:20Speaker 5: Probably not because everybody knows what it looks like. There's
- 4:25Speaker 5: no way of... clearing it up now.
- 4:27Speaker 4: They have cranes up and holes in the ground. You know,
- 4:32Speaker 4: that's not just going to go away.
- 4:33Speaker 2: They will go away eventually.
- 4:35Speaker 1: Well, eventually. But not this winter, I'm going to say.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Later in this segment, we're going to talk about How
- 4:42Speaker 1: New Jersey drivers are rated the second worst in the nation.
- 4:47Speaker 1: Because we're all stressed out. Let me talk about Donald Trump,
- 4:54Speaker 1: who is in a marathon. You and Larry are preparing
- 4:57Speaker 1: for the New York City Marathon, which 710WOR covers from
- 5:01Speaker 1: beginning to end on Sunday. That's like four straight hours.
- 5:05Speaker 1: No interruptions whatsoever.
- 5:07Speaker 5: Okay, when you say preparing.
- 5:08Speaker 4: We're not preparing to run, just so everybody knows that.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Oh, you're not running this year? We're preparing to broadcast. Yeah,
- 5:15Speaker 1: me with my knee injuries, sure. But the president has
- 5:20Speaker 1: hit 30 sites in 30 days. Today, two in Texas
- 5:26Speaker 1: for Paxton, who's neck and neck with Tallarico. He came
- 5:30Speaker 1: off the barnstorming tour of Mississippi yesterday, M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-B-I. And his
- 5:37Speaker 1: voice was hoarse. But he responded as to why, Larry,
- 5:44Speaker 1: exactly why his voice is getting very hoarse.
- 5:47Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't because of all the appearances. He was
- 5:51Speaker 2: yelling at some foreign dignitary over tariffs. I feel great.
- 5:57Speaker 9: I was shouting at people because they were stupid about
- 6:01Speaker 9: something having to do with trade in a country, and
- 6:05Speaker 9: I straightened it out. But I blew my stack at these. Well,
- 6:10Speaker 9: it sounds.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Like there's a follow up there.
- 6:12Speaker 3: But can I ask you about Venezuela? You suggested what?
- 6:14Speaker 9: It sounds like there's a follow up there.
- 6:16Speaker 10: Can I ask you about Venezuela?
- 6:17Speaker 9: You said there was a polyp.
- 6:23Speaker 2: That's a big deal if you get a polyp in
- 6:25Speaker 2: your throat. But it's not a polyp.
- 6:27Speaker 3: No, it's not.
- 6:28Speaker 1: He bruised his throat. And because I've had a lot
- 6:32Speaker 1: of throat issues over the years, anybody. doing talk TV,
- 6:35Speaker 1: talk radio. In fact, remember I said it was Dr.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Lederman to the rescue. I had no voice. 12 midnight.
- 6:43Speaker 1: It was Sunday going into Monday. And then I got
- 6:46Speaker 1: my prescription of prednisone, which is what a lot of
- 6:49Speaker 1: people with voice issues have because they have too much mucus.
- 6:54Speaker 1: It covers the voice box. And that's what causes it.
- 6:57Speaker 1: But the other cause is a bruised throat muscle. And
- 7:02Speaker 1: this is what President Donald Trump has. Now, it's not
- 7:05Speaker 1: like you can have the MD with the black bag.
- 7:08Speaker 1: who follows every president, who has every miracle you can
- 7:11Speaker 1: imagine under the sun, like they did for Joe Biden,
- 7:14Speaker 1: you know, to get him going with the amphetamines.
- 7:16Speaker 2: This is the Dr. Curtis segment. I didn't know you
- 7:19Speaker 2: could diagnose someone from afar.
- 7:21Speaker 1: Well, I believe the president because I've had bruised vocal cords.
- 7:26Speaker 1: And a bruised vocal cord is like any kind of
- 7:28Speaker 1: bruise you have on your body. There is no miracle
- 7:32Speaker 1: shot or pill that's going to resolve that. It requires
- 7:36Speaker 1: a little bit of rest, of which the president has
- 7:39Speaker 1: no time. Imagine two major speaking engagements today in Texas.
- 7:44Speaker 1: And as you know, Donald Trump does not give you
- 7:47Speaker 1: the hors d'oeuvres. He gives you the full entree. 90
- 7:51Speaker 1: minutes is considered... A short talk. Sometimes he goes two hours.
- 7:57Speaker 1: But this is not unique. JFK, in the waning days
- 8:01Speaker 1: of his campaign against Nixon, which was neck and neck,
- 8:04Speaker 1: had his black bag doctor who was giving him all
- 8:07Speaker 1: kinds of shots, including amphetamines, which they claimed were B12 shots,
- 8:11Speaker 1: the Upper East Side doctor. And as you know, Bill
- 8:14Speaker 1: Clinton always had allergy problems. He'd lose his voice. every
- 8:19Speaker 1: antihistamine he takes, Sudafed, everything else. It didn't work at times,
- 8:25Speaker 1: but this is going to be a real test for
- 8:27Speaker 1: the president.
- 8:28Speaker 2: Do you think so? I think he's going to be fine.
- 8:31Speaker 2: He's dealt with this kind of stuff before, you know,
- 8:34Speaker 2: and so. I think if he thought he couldn't do it,
- 8:37Speaker 2: he wouldn't even give the speech. I don't know what
- 8:40Speaker 2: they do with him and they must do something. I
- 8:42Speaker 2: don't know what treatments he goes through. I don't know
- 8:44Speaker 2: if he gets shots. But man, the guy has an
- 8:48Speaker 2: immense amount of energy. And every time you think exactly
- 8:53Speaker 2: what you're saying, because he's had voice problems before. Every
- 8:56Speaker 2: time you think, well, that guy's got to give it up.
- 8:57Speaker 2: He's got to take a night off. He doesn't, and
- 9:00Speaker 2: he's fine. So there must be some regimen he's on.
- 9:04Speaker 2: There must be something the doctors do to bring him back.
- 9:08Speaker 2: Because I guarantee you, he's going to be speaking later
- 9:11Speaker 2: tonight or later today, and he's going to be just fine.
- 9:14Speaker 1: What do you see? Now, he has been known to
- 9:17Speaker 1: take Sudafed, which a lot of people take. I forget
- 9:20Speaker 1: what the other one is. People have allergies. My wife
- 9:22Speaker 1: has allergies. I forget. It starts with a C. Same
- 9:26Speaker 1: kind of effect in a way. It dries up all
- 9:29Speaker 1: the mucus and all the inflammation that you have. But
- 9:33Speaker 1: I will tell you this. Two in one day for Paxton,
- 9:38Speaker 1: who now has to spend all of his time in
- 9:40Speaker 1: rural areas because that was considered originally a slam dunk.
- 9:44Speaker 1: You know, Tallarico has the urban areas. That's a Democratic vote.
- 9:47Speaker 1: And probably the deciding vote in a neck and neck
- 9:50Speaker 1: race in Texas will be the growing suburbs. But the
- 9:54Speaker 1: president has got to get the MAGA vote up because Abbott,
- 9:58Speaker 1: who's running for governor, also. a neck and neck race
- 10:01Speaker 1: unexpected is not throwing a lifeline to Paxton neither are
- 10:05Speaker 1: a lot of the traditional Republicans Corrin the Bush family
- 10:09Speaker 1: so man this is quite a race and the president
- 10:12Speaker 1: is probably going to be at his MAGA best in Texas.
- 10:14Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be quite a race, except it's this.
- 10:17Speaker 2: Telerico's now been sliding the last couple of weeks ever
- 10:20Speaker 2: since he took that time off, and he really has
- 10:22Speaker 2: not regrouped from that. I thought it was desperate that
- 10:26Speaker 2: he was doing that ad, trying to get Paxton to
- 10:29Speaker 2: debate with him, because that's the only shot he has.
- 10:33Speaker 2: I disagree with you. I think this is now Paxton's
- 10:36Speaker 2: to lose, because it's going the wrong way for Telerico.
- 10:42Speaker 2: His poll numbers are just starting to slide and starting
- 10:44Speaker 2: to go the wrong way. So it's bad this time
- 10:48Speaker 2: in a campaign when the poll numbers.
- 10:50Speaker 6: Start to slide.
- 10:50Speaker 1: Well, you know, we doubted Telerico the 12 days he
- 10:53Speaker 1: was off the campaign trail for that super flu. You
- 10:57Speaker 1: know who just came down with it? Tom Jones, he
- 11:00Speaker 1: had to cancel his dates, his singing dates in L.A.,
- 11:03Speaker 1: San Diego. He's got three coming up in Las Vegas.
- 11:07Speaker 1: He may not be able to do it. And his reason,
- 11:11Speaker 1: the super flu. Yeah, how old is Tom Jones? The
- 11:13Speaker 1: Tallarico super flu. How old is Tom Jones? What, in
- 11:16Speaker 1: his 80s?
- 11:17Speaker 2: Yeah. When you get the flu and you're in your 80s,
- 11:21Speaker 2: that's a lot different than.
- 11:22Speaker 1: When you're in your 40s. I would have held Tom Jones'
- 11:25Speaker 1: hands to take a flu shot. Can you imagine me
- 11:27Speaker 1: and Tom Jones holding hands while he got a flu shot?
- 11:31Speaker 2: When we come back, one of the best characters we've
- 11:35Speaker 2: ever seen on television has died. And a very important
- 11:41Speaker 2: anniversary of someone we all know and love. Plus, a
- 11:45Speaker 2: chance to see comedian John Mulaney at age 25. Well,
- 11:49Speaker 2: we lost another member of the original Star Trek crew,
- 11:53Speaker 2: Walter Koenig. who played Ensign Pavel Chekhov, has died. He
- 12:00Speaker 2: was 90 years old, and they're almost all gone. The
- 12:06Speaker 2: only surviving members of that crew right now are still
- 12:09Speaker 2: William Shatner, who is 95, and George Takai, who is 89.
- 12:15Speaker 2: But you will remember Ensign Chekhov as the go-to engineer.
- 12:21Speaker 6: Mr.
- 12:22Speaker 4: Chekhov, what do you make of this?
- 12:24Speaker 11: Oh!
- 12:27Speaker 1: I've read about this, but I've never seen any before.
- 12:30Speaker 12: Does everybody know about the sweet but me?
- 12:32Speaker 13: Well, not everyone, Captain.
- 12:34Speaker 1: It's so Russian invention.
- 12:36Speaker 2: Yeah, went through the whole thing with that Russian accent.
- 12:38Speaker 2: You remember him, right?
- 12:40Speaker 1: I do. I was never a Trekkie, though.
- 12:41Speaker 6: Yes.
- 12:42Speaker 1: Never a big Trekkie.
- 12:44Speaker 4: I can't believe it wasn't Russian.
- 12:45Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Like, as a kid, I just thought he was.
- 12:48Speaker 2: And had to tick off all of the Russian actors
- 12:51Speaker 2: out there. We lost another great one, and now they're
- 12:55Speaker 2: going to have to find another voice for the Looney Tunes.
- 12:58Speaker 2: Eric Bosa has died. He died young at 46 of
- 13:02Speaker 2: cardiac arrest. And this is just after they celebrated their
- 13:07Speaker 2: 80 years of Bugs Bunny. He took over for the
- 13:11Speaker 2: great Mel Blanc.
- 13:13Speaker 14: There will never be another actor like him. What I
- 13:16Speaker 14: miss most about the performance that Mel Blanc left behind
- 13:20Speaker 14: was the amount of energy that he had. There's moments
- 13:24Speaker 14: in cartoons where it's.
- 13:25Speaker 15: Like, you know, he talks like this, right? But then
- 13:27Speaker 15: he's like, oh, I'm dying. You know, like that weird
- 13:30Speaker 15: stuff that doesn't even sound like bugs. That's the stuff
- 13:33Speaker 15: that as a kid, I'd be like, whoa, where did
- 13:35Speaker 15: that come from?
- 13:37Speaker 14: And as a performer, like that's the stuff that I
- 13:39Speaker 14: want to remind people of that was so great about Mel.
- 13:43Speaker 2: But now they got to find another voice.
- 13:46Speaker 1: And voiceovers now are oftentimes done by actors and actresses,
- 13:51Speaker 1: which never before occurred. It always used to be the specialist.
- 13:55Speaker 1: Now you have a wide variety of them. So who
- 13:58Speaker 1: do you think could do that kind of a voice?
- 14:00Speaker 1: What do you think, Larry?
- 14:01Speaker 2: I have no idea. I'm trying to think of comedians
- 14:03Speaker 2: who do voices, but I can't think of one now.
- 14:07Speaker 2: I mean, you know, Robin Williams wouldn't do it.
- 14:10Speaker 1: Didn't Mel Blanc do not just Pugs Money, but also
- 14:13Speaker 1: Emma Fudd? He did all of them.
- 14:16Speaker 2: He did all those voices, and so did this guy.
- 14:21Speaker 2: But Malza did the same thing.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Multiple voices. That's incredible. That's almost like as many personalities
- 14:29Speaker 1: as Sybil had. You have to have a different personality
- 14:32Speaker 1: for each and every voice. Yeah, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd.
- 14:38Speaker 1: What was the Foghorn Leghorn? Man, I miss those cartoons.
- 14:42Speaker 1: I used to watch them all the time. Now let's
- 14:45Speaker 1: get some talk back. We got one about El-Sayed.
- 14:48Speaker 12: Hey, Larry, the Abdul El-Sayed anti-Semitic ad run in Michigan
- 14:55Speaker 12: needs to be covered.
- 14:57Speaker 3: He needs to be outed. He's an anti-Semite.
- 15:01Speaker 1: He's a nasty person, in the words of Donald Trump.
- 15:05Speaker 2: We'll be talking about that a little bit later on. No,
- 15:08Speaker 2: that's on our list for today. You are absolutely correct.
- 15:12Speaker 3: Listen.
- 15:12Speaker 1: He's distancing himself like Susan Collins did to that RNC ad.
- 15:17Speaker 1: We're going to play both of them because it's now
- 15:20Speaker 1: getting so dirty that when the dirt is thrown by
- 15:24Speaker 1: your own side to a pack, I didn't know. I
- 15:27Speaker 1: had no idea.
- 15:28Speaker 3: Oh, yes, you did.
- 15:29Speaker 1: Oh, yes, you did.
- 15:30Speaker 2: Yeah, and listen, here's the funny thing. I think El-Sayed did.
- 15:34Speaker 2: I think El-Sayed's just a liar and has lied about
- 15:37Speaker 2: his whole life and is trying to slither his way
- 15:40Speaker 2: into the Senate. Susan Collins, there's something about Susan Collins.
- 15:44Speaker 2: When she says I didn't hear it, I believe Susan Collins.
- 15:46Speaker 2: There's something incredibly believable about her because she's not one
- 15:51Speaker 2: of those politicians and never has been one. Let me
- 15:53Speaker 2: just finish. She has never been a politician that just
- 15:57Speaker 2: votes with the rest of the party.
- 15:59Speaker 1: She knows. How do you know? How do you know?
- 16:01Speaker 1: Because they all know what a PAC does. I know
- 16:04Speaker 1: all about PACs. I know how they operate. Oh, you do?
- 16:07Speaker 6: Yes.
- 16:07Speaker 2: Okay, tell me, how do PACs operate?
- 16:09Speaker 1: Did I run for office? You did. Okay, Larry, you're
- 16:12Speaker 1: the expert on PACs now, too. Excuse me, you're the
- 16:15Speaker 1: experts on subways, on streets, on Republicans. I've covered politics
- 16:18Speaker 1: longer than you've been involved in politics. Larry, there is
- 16:21Speaker 1: no freaking way that you know more about PACs than
- 16:23Speaker 1: Curtis Sliwa does. They all know what the PAC does
- 16:26Speaker 1: because it's run by their friends.
- 16:28Speaker 2: Okay, all right.
- 16:29Speaker 1: If you knew that.
- 16:30Speaker 2: Much about PACs, you probably would have done better in
- 16:32Speaker 2: the election, right?
- 16:33Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't have a PAC.
- 16:34Speaker 9: Okay.
- 16:35Speaker 2: But I understood how everybody else had a PAC.
- 16:36Speaker 1: How do you know about them? Do you know about
- 16:38Speaker 1: them the same way I do? Oh, Susan Collins is
- 16:40Speaker 1: not corrupt.
- 16:41Speaker 3: So wait a second.
- 16:42Speaker 1: They're all corrupt.
- 16:43Speaker 3: No, no, time out.
- 16:44Speaker 1: I don't trust any politicians, Larry. You didn't even use
- 16:48Speaker 1: a PAC, and you're the expert.
- 16:49Speaker 2: And so I've actually covered candidates that have used PAC
- 16:53Speaker 2: and have told.
- 16:54Speaker 16: Me the money.
- 16:54Speaker 1: So you are so freaking naive that you believe Susan
- 16:57Speaker 1: Collins had no idea what the RNC was doing on
- 17:00Speaker 1: her behalf.
- 17:00Speaker 2: I think you don't believe her because she's a Republican.
- 17:03Speaker 2: And that's the honest to God truth. It's constant.
- 17:06Speaker 6: It is constant.
- 17:06Speaker 1: Excuse me, can I qualify this again, Larry? Constant. I
- 17:09Speaker 1: do not trust any politicians.
- 17:11Speaker 2: It doesn't seem that way.
- 17:11Speaker 1: Democrats, Republicans, MAGA, or DSA.
- 17:14Speaker 2: Well, I'd love to hear you blasting the Democrats as well.
- 17:16Speaker 1: No politicians do I trust, Larry.
- 17:18Speaker 2: Obama, you love.
- 17:20Speaker 1: Now let's get to Daria Albinger. I'm sorry we were
- 17:23Speaker 1: fighting on your birthday, Daria.
- 17:26Speaker 2: We shouldn't.
- 17:26Speaker 1: We'll stop right now. Happy birthday. Thank you, guys. I
- 17:30Speaker 1: do appreciate it.
- 17:31Speaker 17: Good to be with my family this morning as I
- 17:33Speaker 17: start a new trip around the sun. Sunny and cooler today.
- 17:37Speaker 17: We'll see a high of 59 degrees. A person of
- 17:39Speaker 17: interest is in custody in connection with the discovery of
- 17:42Speaker 17: a woman's body in a shallow grave in Queens over
- 17:45Speaker 17: the weekend.
- 17:46Speaker 18: Police say 35-year-old Serafina Pereira had been reported missing days
- 17:50Speaker 18: before her decomposing body was discovered in a shallow grave
- 17:54Speaker 18: in Rockaway Community Park.
- 17:55Speaker 5: She suffered a bullet wound to her head, neck, and torso.
- 17:58Speaker 18: Pereira was a mother of four and was believed to
- 18:01Speaker 18: be going through a breakup with the father of her
- 18:03Speaker 18: youngest two children at the time of her death. Police
- 18:06Speaker 18: tracked down an unidentified man for questioning. In New York,
- 18:10Speaker 18: Natalie Migliore, WOR News.
- 18:12Speaker 17: President Trump says the administration will pay a million dollars
- 18:15Speaker 17: to anyone who reports voter fraud, which results in an
- 18:18Speaker 17: arrest and conviction. It's the latest financial offer from the president,
- 18:22Speaker 17: who also promised to give every adult American $ 5, 000 if
- 18:26Speaker 17: Republicans hold on to Congress after the midterms. The president
- 18:29Speaker 17: will campaign today in Texas for State's Attorney General Ken Paxton.
- 18:33Speaker 17: The Republican is locked in a tight battle.
- 18:35Speaker 1: For the U.S.
- 18:36Speaker 17: Senate with Democrat James Tallarico. Well, Election Day here is
- 18:39Speaker 17: a week away, but they're going to the polls today
- 18:41Speaker 17: in Israel to choose a prime minister.
- 18:43Speaker 11: Trump will be closely watching today's election in Israel. He's
- 18:46Speaker 11: endorsed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It's Israel's first election since
- 18:51Speaker 11: the war in Gaza, and polls have shown Netanyahu's coalition trailing.
- 18:55Speaker 17: That's ABC's Lionel Moise. The Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee
- 18:59Speaker 17: meets today, and by the time they adjourn tomorrow, they
- 19:01Speaker 17: are expected to say that they're going to leave interest
- 19:03Speaker 17: rates unchanged. ahead of the midterms. An honor for Mets
- 19:07Speaker 17: shortstop Francisco Lindor. He's been named this year's Roberto Clemente
- 19:12Speaker 17: Award winner. It recognizes his charitable work in Puerto Rico, Florida,
- 19:16Speaker 17: and here in New York. The Rangers lost to Los
- 19:19Speaker 17: Angeles 6-3. Next news, 7 o'clock, bulletins at once. I'm
- 19:23Speaker 17: Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Microsoft reported record profits, yet they are now doing buyouts
- 19:31Speaker 1: for 30% of their personnel who have good-paying jobs.
- 19:35Speaker 11: Why?
- 19:37Speaker 1: Because of artificial intelligence.
- 19:40Speaker 3: Up next.
- 19:41Speaker 1: Larry and Natalie, it's roller derby now. The big AI
- 19:47Speaker 1: companies are muscling one another. The lead story today is Anthropic.
- 19:53Speaker 1: They made last year $ 16 billion. It's only five years
- 19:57Speaker 1: they've been in business, but they reported a loss of
- 20:00Speaker 1: $ 81 billion. But they need the AI data filing centers,
- 20:05Speaker 1: so they're going to file for an IPO on Wall Street,
- 20:08Speaker 1: sell their stock. They're expected to raise $ 2 trillion, which
- 20:14Speaker 1: is more than Elon Musk recently raised. He raised close
- 20:18Speaker 1: to $ 1 trillion. So it is the AI money race.
- 20:24Speaker 1: And while all of this was transpiring, one of the biggies,
- 20:27Speaker 1: you have Anthropic AI, you have Meta, you have Elon Musk,
- 20:31Speaker 1: and you have Microsoft. Now, Microsoft is no longer run
- 20:34Speaker 1: by Bill Gates, even though you see interview after interview
- 20:38Speaker 1: with him. and he speaks about the pluses and minuses
- 20:42Speaker 1: of artificial intelligence, but he's not the day-to-day CEO. Well,
- 20:48Speaker 1: they announced yesterday buyouts for 60,000 employees in addition to
- 20:55Speaker 1: 9,000 that they offered buyouts to January 1st. That is
- 21:01Speaker 1: like 30% of their workforce, human beings, that they no
- 21:07Speaker 1: longer need, they can replace them with AI. But the
- 21:11Speaker 1: real reason is even though they have reported record amounts
- 21:15Speaker 1: of money that have been made in the last year, 225,
- 21:18Speaker 1: they made 280 billion. This year, they're on track to
- 21:24Speaker 1: make 18% more than last year with the savings from
- 21:28Speaker 1: the jobs that human beings have. And obviously, it costs
- 21:32Speaker 1: less to use AI. They're going to pour all that
- 21:36Speaker 1: money and more into building what is the real race,
- 21:40Speaker 1: the AI, artificial intelligence data filing centers. Now, I thought
- 21:46Speaker 1: many of the CEOs promised us. They said, you know, okay,
- 21:50Speaker 1: you're going to lose jobs, but you're going to even
- 21:52Speaker 1: get better paying jobs. $ 30, 000? percent of the workforce at
- 21:57Speaker 1: microsoft uh in eight weeks uh you know they'll get
- 22:01Speaker 1: uh eight weeks of pay and then that's it they
- 22:03Speaker 1: have to accept the uh payout or they'll be fired
- 22:07Speaker 1: and you say to yourself and we know this is
- 22:09Speaker 1: just the first to come there'll probably be many other
- 22:12Speaker 1: companies doing likewise because ai is replacing the workforce.
- 22:16Speaker 2: It's already been happening. It's happened the last couple of
- 22:19Speaker 2: years now. This might be the biggest announced layoff, but
- 22:22Speaker 2: it's not the only announced layoff. And my son was
- 22:26Speaker 2: laid off because of AI, because he was doing videos,
- 22:30Speaker 2: internet videos, and they don't need them anymore. They have
- 22:33Speaker 2: AI doing that now. And he's still been looking for
- 22:36Speaker 2: another job. So there are a lot of professions that
- 22:40Speaker 2: are just going by the wayside. I'll give you some numbers.
- 22:43Speaker 2: In 226 so far, 117,000 jobs have been lost to AI.
- 22:50Speaker 2: And the estimate is that it will at least be
- 22:54Speaker 2: 10,000 jobs a month that will go away. And not
- 22:57Speaker 2: only jobs, entire positions, roles. I mean, the same role
- 23:03Speaker 2: like the video person at a company that does their videos.
- 23:06Speaker 2: That person could go in every company. So the estimate
- 23:11Speaker 2: for next year, there's 117,000 this year. The estimate for
- 23:16Speaker 2: next year is 250,000 next year. And in the future,
- 23:22Speaker 2: we're talking about millions of jobs globally that are going
- 23:27Speaker 2: to go to the wayside AI. Now, do I believe
- 23:31Speaker 2: that the industry will catch up, that other jobs will
- 23:35Speaker 2: be created? Yeah, I do. if past is prologue, because
- 23:39Speaker 2: it's happened before with computers and, you know, the manufacturing
- 23:44Speaker 2: revolution and everything that has come along has always created
- 23:48Speaker 2: other jobs along with it. Do I think we're going
- 23:51Speaker 2: to catch up that quickly?
- 23:53Speaker 3: No.
- 23:54Speaker 2: There's going to be a period where there's going to
- 23:56Speaker 2: be some suffering because of this, because it's too many
- 23:59Speaker 2: jobs and it's too fast. So Microsoft, although it's the
- 24:03Speaker 2: biggest and it's the latest example of isn't the only example,
- 24:07Speaker 2: and I'm sorry to say it's not going to be
- 24:10Speaker 2: the last.
- 24:11Speaker 1: The real problem is that, as I speak in many universities,
- 24:16Speaker 1: men and women who have spent four years and then
- 24:20Speaker 1: two years graduate study, they're putting in papers for jobs,
- 24:25Speaker 1: and they're being told, no jobs, no jobs, no jobs.
- 24:29Speaker 1: So we basically sold a generation on the fact that
- 24:33Speaker 1: if you work hard, you study hard, you do well
- 24:35Speaker 1: in school, you go to graduate school, you get a
- 24:40Speaker 1: profession that is in demand, not just coders, but other individuals,
- 24:46Speaker 1: that you can live the American dream. And now they're
- 24:48Speaker 1: realizing they can't even get a job. They're going to
- 24:51Speaker 1: have to be a barista at Starbucks. So the anger
- 24:55Speaker 1: is starting to build. And then you have Elon Musk
- 24:57Speaker 1: out there saying, don't worry about it. There'll be universal income. Gee,
- 25:02Speaker 1: that sounds like socialism and communism to me. What do
- 25:05Speaker 1: you mean universal income? Nobody will have to work. You
- 25:09Speaker 1: stay at home. You know, the machines, the robots, AI
- 25:12Speaker 1: will do all the work and you'll live a better
- 25:15Speaker 1: life than you're living now.
- 25:17Speaker 2: I've heard this doom and gloom a million times, and
- 25:20Speaker 2: it's always come back with other jobs. I'll tell you
- 25:23Speaker 2: what my son was told by some people in the industry.
- 25:26Speaker 2: They said to him, learn AI. Now, you don't have
- 25:29Speaker 2: to learn AI to the point where you are one
- 25:32Speaker 2: of the people that is manufacturing AI or putting out
- 25:35Speaker 2: AI or testing AI. All you have to do is
- 25:38Speaker 2: know it. And online, this is some good advice because
- 25:41Speaker 2: this is what my son has done. Online, there are
- 25:44Speaker 2: some degrees you can get online on AI. Google has one.
- 25:48Speaker 2: Apple has one. All of these people will teach you
- 25:51Speaker 2: AI online. And all you need to know to either
- 25:55Speaker 2: keep your job or get a job is how to
- 25:58Speaker 2: use AI for the job you already know about. So
- 26:02Speaker 2: that basis of knowledge is important. But using AI to
- 26:07Speaker 2: then do your job is equally as important. So if
- 26:12Speaker 2: people that are getting jobs right now put AI right
- 26:16Speaker 2: on their resume, the fact that they are Google certified
- 26:19Speaker 2: or the fact that they're Apple certified for AI is
- 26:22Speaker 2: really important right now.
- 26:24Speaker 1: You have failed the test, Larry.
- 26:26Speaker 2: Okay.
- 26:26Speaker 1: We have talked about Microsoft AI and all the big
- 26:29Speaker 1: AI companies now as they ran through the list. Anthropic AI,
- 26:35Speaker 1: Meta Microsoft, and Elon Musk. You keep referring it to
- 26:38Speaker 1: as artificial intelligence.
- 26:40Speaker 3: Oh, I'm not.
- 26:41Speaker 2: I'm not changing. I'm sorry.
- 26:44Speaker 1: The president has said, what does SI mean again?
- 26:47Speaker 2: What does SI mean? Super intelligence.
- 26:50Speaker 1: You didn't mention that once.
- 26:51Speaker 2: No, no, no, no. SI is still Sports Illustrated to me.
- 26:54Speaker 1: You will not be invited to the White House anytime soon.
- 26:57Speaker 2: I didn't think it was going to happen anyway. When
- 27:00Speaker 2: we come back, New Jersey drivers, some of the worst
- 27:06Speaker 2: in the country.
- 27:07Speaker 1: Nah.
- 27:09Speaker 2: Plus, we have Jimmy Fallon coming up at 8.35. But first,
- 27:12Speaker 2: I want to rave to you about LifeVac once again,
- 27:15Speaker 2: because every single week you look at Google, you look
- 27:19Speaker 2: at news stories from across the country, and LifeVac has
- 27:22Speaker 2: saved another life. You know how quickly choking can turn
- 27:27Speaker 2: into a real emergency. At first, you think that somebody's okay.
- 27:32Speaker 2: You've probably seen this in your own life. Somebody's okay.
- 27:34Speaker 2: And then you realize this is something serious. the Heimlich
- 27:38Speaker 2: often works. Patting someone on the back often works. Just
- 27:42Speaker 2: coughing it up often works. It doesn't always work. And
- 27:48Speaker 2: that's why I want to tell you about LifeVac. LifeVac
- 27:51Speaker 2: is the first and only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device to
- 27:55Speaker 2: be used for second-line treatment when those recommended protocols I
- 27:59Speaker 2: just told you about have been followed without success. LifeVac
- 28:03Speaker 2: has helped save 6,500 lives worldwide. Think about that. These
- 28:09Speaker 2: are real people we're talking about, real families, real second chances.
- 28:13Speaker 2: Preparedness matters. Having the right tool nearby, that makes all
- 28:18Speaker 2: the difference in the world. So go to lifevac.net and
- 28:22Speaker 2: learn more about it because you really probably should have
- 28:25Speaker 2: one in your house. That's lifevac.net. Visit lifevac.net and see
- 28:30Speaker 2: how you can be ready. when it counts. So there's
- 28:34Speaker 2: a list out, put out by LendingTree, of who has
- 28:38Speaker 2: the worst drivers in the country. And the worst is
- 28:43Speaker 2: North Dakota. Why would they have the worst drivers in
- 28:47Speaker 2: the country? It goes by accident rates per person. And
- 28:51Speaker 2: second is New Jersey. Second overall is New Jersey. New York,
- 28:58Speaker 2: by the way, out of 51 states and the District
- 29:01Speaker 2: of Columbia, is 44th. So they rank New York as
- 29:06Speaker 2: having some of the safest drivers in the country. New Jersey,
- 29:10Speaker 2: on the other hand, has some, I'm not going to
- 29:13Speaker 2: say worst drivers. but most dangerous drivers in the country.
- 29:18Speaker 2: And I will tell you something, New Jersey, everybody's crammed
- 29:22Speaker 2: together and everybody uses their roads. The New Jersey Turnpike
- 29:26Speaker 2: is one of the most traveled roads in the country.
- 29:29Speaker 2: Everybody seems to be on that at all times. And
- 29:31Speaker 2: they have the Garden State Parkway. So I will just
- 29:34Speaker 2: say when you cram that many people, it's the most
- 29:36Speaker 2: congested state in the country. That many people always, onto
- 29:40Speaker 2: very popular roads, and then you throw in toll booths,
- 29:45Speaker 2: and you throw in the Lincoln Tunnel, and you throw
- 29:48Speaker 2: in the construction, I'm going to make the excuse for
- 29:51Speaker 2: New Jersey as to why they get into accidents. But
- 29:54Speaker 2: let me add this to the equation. They are near
- 29:58Speaker 2: the bottoms When it comes to fatal accidents in the country.
- 30:03Speaker 2: So how about that? They know how to get into
- 30:05Speaker 2: an accident without getting killed.
- 30:07Speaker 1: New Jersey, they should put it on the license plate.
- 30:13Speaker 1: We know how to get into an accident without being killed.
- 30:16Speaker 4: Well, everybody who's ever driven in New Jersey knows about
- 30:20Speaker 4: the Jersey slide. And I'm telling you, if you don't,
- 30:24Speaker 4: if you haven't witnessed it, it is something, it's a
- 30:28Speaker 4: skill set. So you could be all the way in
- 30:31Speaker 4: the left lane. Your exit could be coming up in
- 30:34Speaker 4: maybe 50 feet.
- 30:36Speaker 17: And somehow they.
- 30:38Speaker 4: Can move over four lanes of traffic and get to
- 30:42Speaker 4: that exit and zoom right off. And that's where I've
- 30:45Speaker 4: seen accidents happen, honestly. But the Jersey slide, it's a
- 30:49Speaker 4: scary thing.
- 30:51Speaker 1: I think.
- 30:52Speaker 2: Many of the accidents in New Jersey are completely out
- 30:55Speaker 2: of frustration because you get in this gridlock and especially
- 30:59Speaker 2: like you went through today. When you're in gridlock and
- 31:02Speaker 2: you've got to get somewhere, you've got to get to
- 31:04Speaker 2: your job, and you're on the helix, and you're trying
- 31:08Speaker 2: to cut around, you're trying to do something, and you
- 31:10Speaker 2: get into a fender bender. I looked at AI, by
- 31:13Speaker 2: the way, to look up Jersey drivers. This is what
- 31:15Speaker 2: AI says. New Jersey drivers are widely viewed as aggressive, impatient,
- 31:22Speaker 2: and fast-paced.
- 31:23Speaker 1: I would say yes to all that.
- 31:25Speaker 2: Those studies and polls show a split between high local
- 31:29Speaker 2: traffic stress and relatively strong fatal crash safety. They're one
- 31:34Speaker 2: of the safest states when it comes to fatal crashes.
- 31:37Speaker 5: So we know how to be aggressive.
- 31:38Speaker 2: You know how to get into an accident and not
- 31:40Speaker 2: get hurt or hurt somebody else.
- 31:41Speaker 1: My dad, we used to have to pick up from
- 31:44Speaker 1: the Port of Philadelphia, Port of Baltimore, and bring him
- 31:46Speaker 1: home for a few days, three days in the 60s.
- 31:49Speaker 1: So he would always say to my mom... and he'd
- 31:52Speaker 1: bring the kids along in the 54 Ford station wagon,
- 31:57Speaker 1: old Betsy with the wood panels and the white wall
- 31:59Speaker 1: of time. Yeah. And he'd say, Fran, I'm driving down
- 32:04Speaker 1: the New Jersey Turnpike because it's the Blue Bozos. Remember
- 32:07Speaker 1: when the plates... were blue. They called them the Blue Bozos.
- 32:11Speaker 1: He goes, it's like Demolition Derby. I had no idea.
- 32:13Speaker 1: I was just a kid. And he said, now you
- 32:16Speaker 1: can drive back, obviously, because he's on the ship, but
- 32:19Speaker 1: go slow. Be careful. Stop at those rest stops if
- 32:23Speaker 1: the traffic is getting too crazy. And he would always say,
- 32:27Speaker 1: beware of the Blue Bozos. Was it Bozo the Clown? No,
- 32:31Speaker 1: he kept referring to the blue bozos from the blue
- 32:34Speaker 1: license plates.
- 32:34Speaker 4: Well, I saw a blue bozo this morning, although it's
- 32:37Speaker 4: not blue anymore. This guy was going so fast, and
- 32:40Speaker 4: he was, you know, cutting in and out of lanes.
- 32:43Speaker 4: And all I kept thinking, I'm like, dude, you're going
- 32:45Speaker 4: to be stuck in the same traffic in about a
- 32:47Speaker 4: half a mile the rest of us are.
- 32:49Speaker 2: But he'll be ahead of you. If I can just
- 32:51Speaker 2: get ahead of that guy, that's all I want to do. No,
- 32:55Speaker 2: you know what it says here? It says that Jersey...
- 32:58Speaker 2: are stuck on an average of 85 hours a year
- 33:04Speaker 2: sitting in gridlock. This is the reason there's so many accidents.
- 33:07Speaker 2: It's all fender benders. That's what it is. That's why
- 33:10Speaker 2: there's not a lot of fatal accidents. They can't go
- 33:12Speaker 2: fast enough to get into a fatal accident. They're just
- 33:15Speaker 2: bumping into each other. That's all it is.
- 33:17Speaker 1: It's bumper cars. It's like bumper cars.
- 33:20Speaker 4: Well, as we're talking about this, I see the talkbacks
- 33:22Speaker 4: flying in. So they're either sitting in traffic and having
- 33:25Speaker 4: nothing else to do, so they're going to leave us
- 33:27Speaker 4: a talkback right now. But, you know, just go to
- 33:29Speaker 4: the iHeartRadio app and search WOR.
- 33:31Speaker 2: Which also means they're good and angry. Well, Donald Trump
- 33:35Speaker 2: is on that marathon tour trying to save Senate and
- 33:39Speaker 2: House seats. And with him, much of the way, is
- 33:42Speaker 2: John Decker, WOR White House correspondent. He's coming up after
- 33:46Speaker 2: the 7 o'clock news.
- 33:49Speaker 1: As you know, as a good practicing Catholic, Larry, mea culpa,
- 33:53Speaker 1: mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. You too, Natalie. Boy, I
- 33:57Speaker 1: jumped the queue because I wanted to thank Dr. Lederman
- 34:00Speaker 1: again for saving my voice. I had no voice a
- 34:03Speaker 1: few Sundays ago. He came to the rescue. But it's
- 34:06Speaker 1: actually tomorrow we'll be talking to Dr. Lederman, our doctor
- 34:10Speaker 1: here at 710WOR that you can listen to at night.
- 34:15Speaker 1: He'll be joining us because it's breast cancer awareness. So
- 34:20Speaker 1: blame me. Blame me. I take the rap. Meantime, the
- 34:23Speaker 1: big story coming out of the NFL is that guess
- 34:27Speaker 1: who appointed himself to be the halftime performer of the
- 34:31Speaker 1: upcoming Super Bowl game? The guy who picks the talent
- 34:36Speaker 1: or the talent lobbies him because all talent wants to
- 34:40Speaker 1: be on that stage. You get more eyeballs than doing
- 34:43Speaker 1: anything else. Well, it was a tough decision. Jay-Z sat
- 34:48Speaker 1: down and he said, you know, I'm going to pick myself.
- 34:52Speaker 2: He put out the announcement in a video. That's enough.
- 34:56Speaker 1: Yeah, please. That's power 105, okay? We'll give that to
- 35:01Speaker 1: Charlamagne Tha God. But anyway, now, you know what this
- 35:04Speaker 1: reminds me of politically? Remember Bush 43? He gets elected
- 35:09Speaker 1: after we waited eight weeks. Al Gore, Bush 2000, Supreme
- 35:13Speaker 1: Court made the decision So in the interim, taking over
- 35:17Speaker 1: for the presidency, Dick Cheney was putting together his transition
- 35:21Speaker 1: team and also picking a vice president. Bush 43 wanted
- 35:27Speaker 1: Tom Ridge. He loved Tom Ridge, the governor of Pennsylvania.
- 35:30Speaker 1: But Cheney said, yeah, but he's pro-choice. I know he's good,
- 35:35Speaker 1: but he's pro-choice. Can't have him. And they went through
- 35:38Speaker 1: a whole laundry list until finally Dick Cheney said, you
- 35:41Speaker 1: know what, Bush? I'm picking myself. Look, I've been the
- 35:46Speaker 1: chief of staff, the deputy chief of staff to so
- 35:49Speaker 1: many in the White House. I know exactly how to
- 35:53Speaker 1: function as a vice president. And he picked himself.
- 35:55Speaker 2: That's what you thought of when you heard this. I
- 35:57Speaker 2: thought about how weak need the commissioner of the NFL
- 36:01Speaker 2: is and how much they give into the Colin Kaepernick.
- 36:05Speaker 2: and said to Jay-Z, just make this go away, we'll
- 36:09Speaker 2: give you anything. So they gave him a tens of
- 36:13Speaker 2: million dollar contract to pick the Super Bowl acts. Ad nauseum,
- 36:19Speaker 2: I'm wondering when that contract, they re-upped them, I guess.
- 36:22Speaker 2: But man, he gets to pick them all, and they
- 36:24Speaker 2: have all, most of them, not every one of them,
- 36:27Speaker 2: but most of them that have been awful since he
- 36:30Speaker 2: has picked them. Some of them I had to turn off.
- 36:34Speaker 2: I mean, just bad. Bad Bunny was pretty good.
- 36:38Speaker 1: I don't think you went over to Kid Rock and
- 36:40Speaker 1: that alternative show that was put on that didn't necessarily
- 36:45Speaker 1: match Egg Rape. But no, I like Bad Bunny. But
- 36:47Speaker 1: they're trying to expand into Latin America. Like when the
- 36:50Speaker 1: NFL plays in Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, it seats
- 36:54Speaker 1: 100,000 people. They got 100,000 Mexicans wearing Dallas Cowboy suits because...
- 36:59Speaker 1: But he's.
- 37:00Speaker 2: Ruined the Super Bowl halftime show for most of America.
- 37:04Speaker 2: Most of America has been turning off the Super Bowl
- 37:07Speaker 2: halftime show. Go to social media someday. Just look at
- 37:10Speaker 2: all the people that are going, I can't watch this anymore.
- 37:12Speaker 1: Well, guess what? The players, they ain't complaining because like 80%
- 37:16Speaker 1: of the players now are African-American. They're like high-fiving Jay-Z.
- 37:20Speaker 2: There was great African-American acts in the past. I don't
- 37:23Speaker 2: think that has much to do with it. It is
- 37:25Speaker 2: the genre. It is just rap. And I know rap's
- 37:28Speaker 2: a big deal, but rap is not the predominant genre.
- 37:33Speaker 2: musical genre in this country this is like.
- 37:35Speaker 1: Bill clinton you get two for one remember bill said
- 37:37Speaker 1: that you get two for one you're getting beyonce you
- 37:40Speaker 1: know she's coming up there with their daughter blue now
- 37:44Speaker 1: she's going to perform you almost guarantee it's going to
- 37:46Speaker 1: be a husband and wife performer and then they'll have
- 37:48Speaker 1: other the blue will.
- 37:49Speaker 2: Be up there and then they're going to put the
- 37:50Speaker 2: rest of the family up there and anybody that pays
- 37:53Speaker 2: off jay-z will be up there it is the worst
- 37:55Speaker 2: contract ever signed in the nfl and that's a high
- 37:58Speaker 2: bar let's get to some talkbacks.
- 38:01Speaker 19: Frank from jersey I just want to say that I
- 38:05Speaker 19: do everything I can to stay off the roads. I'm
- 38:09Speaker 19: retired from the electrician union, and I don't even want
- 38:14Speaker 19: to go out of the house because of the driving
- 38:16Speaker 19: situation in this state.
- 38:19Speaker 3: It's just, you're taking your life into your own hands.
- 38:22Speaker 2: You know, I drive through New Jersey every day, and
- 38:25Speaker 2: I don't think it's that bad. Well, I drive so
- 38:28Speaker 2: early in the morning, I guess I'm not running. No,
- 38:30Speaker 2: but when you go back, you're going mainstream time.
- 38:35Speaker 1: I would say it's probably a combination of your positivity
- 38:40Speaker 1: and his negativity. I think most people are like somewhere
- 38:43Speaker 1: in between.
- 38:43Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. But I mean, the Jersey Turnpike,
- 38:46Speaker 2: the drivers are pretty good. Every once in a while,
- 38:48Speaker 2: there's some idiot, but you just let them go. Just
- 38:51Speaker 2: let them go.
- 38:53Speaker 8: Or through life technology made jobs disappear. Look at the
- 38:56Speaker 8: farmers when the tractors came. They had to lay off
- 38:59Speaker 8: all the people on the farm, but then they got
- 39:01Speaker 8: tractor repairmen. Look at Henry Ford's assembly line. They had
- 39:05Speaker 8: to lay off workers, and they got people to fix
- 39:07Speaker 8: the assembly line. The list goes on and on. Jobs
- 39:10Speaker 8: will catch up.
- 39:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I know what you're talking about, and I've made
- 39:13Speaker 2: this argument on the air several times. I'm a little
- 39:17Speaker 2: more afraid this time, but then again, that's been every
- 39:21Speaker 2: single time.
- 39:21Speaker 1: Well, remember, Elon Musk, leader of the PAC, says nobody
- 39:24Speaker 1: will have to work. You'll have a universal socialist-slash-communist income.
- 39:30Speaker 1: You can just lay back and enjoy yourself. Nobody ever
- 39:33Speaker 1: said that before.
- 39:34Speaker 2: No, no. And I don't think that's going to happen.
- 39:36Speaker 10: Natalie's complaint earlier in the morning about the construction and
- 39:42Speaker 10: how it's affecting the traffic patterns and how maybe one
- 39:46Speaker 10: part of government doesn't talk to another part of government
- 39:48Speaker 10: and they do all these things. Construction updates at the
- 39:52Speaker 10: wrong time, it just makes the matter worse, is one
- 39:55Speaker 10: of the biggest cases why we should not have government-run
- 40:01Speaker 10: health care.
- 40:03Speaker 1: Wow, I didn't know that's where you were going. That
- 40:05Speaker 1: was a twist. That was a surprise ending. What the
- 40:08Speaker 1: hell is she talking about?
- 40:10Speaker 5: That was called the Jersey Slide, right there.
- 40:12Speaker 2: Well, I know what he was talking about because government
- 40:14Speaker 2: can't even handle the roads. Government can't handle health care.
- 40:19Speaker 1: Israel has government health care and free education for all, right?
- 40:23Speaker 2: Well, that's right.
- 40:25Speaker 1: Well, a lot of people are.
- 40:26Speaker 2: That's true. They're going back there to vote right now.
- 40:29Speaker 2: Let's get to Daria Albinger with the 730 News, Daria.
- 40:32Speaker 6: Morning, guys.
- 40:32Speaker 17: Sunny and cooler today. We'll see a high of 59 degrees.
- 40:36Speaker 17: A retired NYPD detective who was charged in last week's
- 40:39Speaker 17: deadly drive-by on the GWB will be in court today.
- 40:43Speaker 20: Victor Romero was charged with manslaughter, but legal experts say
- 40:46Speaker 20: a grand jury could decide on whether to upgrade that
- 40:48Speaker 20: charge to murder. Prosecutors say Romero, fueled by road rage,
- 40:52Speaker 20: shot Karan Irvine on the GWB after their two vehicles
- 40:55Speaker 20: came close to colliding last week. And Irvine's family members,
- 40:59Speaker 20: including his aunt here, furious the charge was not murder.
- 41:02Speaker 13: You had a retired police officer intentionally fired a bullet
- 41:09Speaker 13: and killed him.
- 41:10Speaker 20: Romero is being held on a $ 1 million bail. I'm
- 41:13Speaker 20: Scott Pringle, WOR News.
- 41:16Speaker 17: With the midterm elections a week away, President Trump will
- 41:18Speaker 17: be back in Texas today. He'll campaign for Republican State's
- 41:21Speaker 17: Attorney General Ken Paxton. who is in a close battle
- 41:25Speaker 17: for a U.S. Senate seat with Democratic State Representative James Tallarico.
- 41:29Speaker 17: At least one person is dead. Several others were hurt
- 41:32Speaker 17: in a shooting last night in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Police
- 41:35Speaker 17: responded to the call on Irvington Avenue across from the
- 41:37Speaker 17: Oakwood Plaza apartments. The MTA's fare enforcement teams, known as
- 41:42Speaker 17: the Eagle Teams, are back on the buses today. They
- 41:45Speaker 17: were taken off last week after two fare-checking incidents, which
- 41:49Speaker 17: turned violent and were not reported. Well, dictionary.com has chosen
- 41:53Speaker 17: its word of the year and it's maxing. It defines
- 41:57Speaker 17: a term to describe pursuing an activity to the fullest
- 42:02Speaker 17: or optimizing a certain aspect of your life. So here's
- 42:05Speaker 17: a college student who's telling us the correct way to
- 42:08Speaker 17: use it.
- 42:09Speaker 6: People randomly like attach it to their own words. Like
- 42:13Speaker 6: maybe if you're Having a bunch of sugar that day
- 42:16Speaker 6: or like sweets maxing, I don't know, things like that.
- 42:19Speaker 17: My dog's name is Max and when he's well behaved,
- 42:22Speaker 17: we say he's maxing well. That may or may not
- 42:24Speaker 17: be the right way to use it. Rangers lost to
- 42:26Speaker 17: Los Angeles 6-3. Next news, 8 o'clock, bulletins at once.
- 42:30Speaker 17: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
- 42:32Speaker 2: Great job, Daria. You were maxing out just then.
- 42:35Speaker 1: I'm doing my best. Is that the right use?
- 42:37Speaker 2: Did I use that right?
- 42:38Speaker 20: You did.
- 42:39Speaker 1: I did not when I talked about my dog. You
- 42:41Speaker 1: did use it well. Well done.
- 42:43Speaker 3: Thanks, Daria.
- 42:44Speaker 2: When we come back, it is a political heavyweight fight
- 42:48Speaker 2: as we near the midterms. In one corner, Barack Hussein Obama.
- 42:52Speaker 2: In the other, Donald J.
- 42:54Speaker 15: Bush.
- 42:55Speaker 2: We're going to find out who wins that fight on Tuesday,
- 42:58Speaker 2: and we'll talk about it next. Who knew of all
- 43:02Speaker 2: the things that you can say about Donald Trump and
- 43:05Speaker 2: have been said about Donald Trump, that he's a Nazi,
- 43:07Speaker 2: that he's Hitler, that he's not very bright, all these
- 43:10Speaker 2: things that are said about him roll off his shoulders.
- 43:13Speaker 2: He doesn't care about any of that. But for some reason,
- 43:17Speaker 2: when Barack Obama in Michigan was at a campaign rally
- 43:22Speaker 2: and said this, it bugged him.
- 43:24Speaker 3: What's up with the gold?
- 43:30Speaker 1: I mean, he's got the White House looking like Saddam.
- 43:33Speaker 2: Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory.
- 43:35Speaker 21: There's just gold everywhere.
- 43:40Speaker 2: Now, I can't play everything Donald Trump said because he
- 43:43Speaker 2: went on and on about it yesterday. Yes, he was
- 43:46Speaker 2: asked about it, but in most questions, he gives a
- 43:49Speaker 2: 30-second answer. This one, he just kept talking about it.
- 43:54Speaker 2: It is extremely important to him, apparently, that he fix
- 43:58Speaker 2: up the White House and he makes the White House
- 44:01Speaker 2: look great. He says that Barack Obama ignored the White
- 44:05Speaker 2: House and watched that it was falling apart and did nothing.
- 44:09Speaker 22: We have to explain to Obama that the White House
- 44:11Speaker 22: is a symbol of America. And it has to be
- 44:14Speaker 22: maintained properly. It has to be painted. And the exterior
- 44:18Speaker 22: plaster can't be falling.
- 44:19Speaker 21: Off the walls.
- 44:21Speaker 22: And the decorations and ornaments around the windows that are
- 44:24Speaker 22: magnificent can't be on one side of the window and
- 44:28Speaker 22: fallen off on the other side.
- 44:29Speaker 1: It has to be clean.
- 44:31Speaker 22: The columns can't be broken.
- 44:33Speaker 1: The bricks can't be falling off from under the plaster.
- 44:40Speaker 22: For you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just
- 44:42Speaker 22: shows why you're a lousy president.
- 44:45Speaker 2: Yeah, and that went on for a long time. I'll
- 44:48Speaker 2: play one last thing, because the best reaction was from
- 44:52Speaker 2: the Treasury Secretary, Scott Besson, who went to a Cheesecake Factory,
- 44:58Speaker 2: and reporters were waiting for him when he got back out.
- 45:01Speaker 3: This is the man who built the museum. It looks
- 45:04Speaker 3: like Darth Vader's tomb. And I would just tell the, I.
- 45:08Speaker 11: Eat a great meal, always have a great meal, and
- 45:11Speaker 11: I would tell the Martha's Vineyard set to give it
- 45:14Speaker 11: a try.
- 45:16Speaker 2: Ah, Obama's elitist for putting down Cheesecake Factory is what
- 45:20Speaker 2: Scott Besson is saying, that he eats at Cheesecake Factories
- 45:25Speaker 2: all the time, according to him.
- 45:28Speaker 1: What this is, is these are the two superstars of
- 45:32Speaker 1: both opposing parties. If you had a dream presidential campaign, right?
- 45:38Speaker 1: They used to do this facsimile. They would recreate the
- 45:42Speaker 1: two greatest heavyweights of all time, Muhammad Ali, and you
- 45:46Speaker 1: had undefeated Marciano fighting one another. He actually packed the theaters.
- 45:54Speaker 1: It never occurred, but this is what people wanted to see.
- 45:57Speaker 1: And if people had their druthers, they'd want to see
- 46:01Speaker 1: Barack Obama running against Donald Trump because at times they're
- 46:05Speaker 1: like two scorpions in a brandy glass. You can see
- 46:08Speaker 1: they really don't like one another. And then they surprise you.
- 46:11Speaker 1: Remember at Jimmy Carter's funeral mass in Washington? They're sitting
- 46:16Speaker 1: down there. They're having a good old time right before
- 46:18Speaker 1: it started. You know, people are saying, wow, these guys
- 46:20Speaker 1: really get together. Meantime, if you notice, Michelle was like
- 46:25Speaker 1: not wanting to talk to anybody. The gals said not Melania,
- 46:29Speaker 1: not talking to anybody. But these two guys.
- 46:31Speaker 2: Remember Hillary?
- 46:32Speaker 1: Hillary with the death stare. Yeah.
- 46:34Speaker 2: When she looked at him.
- 46:35Speaker 1: But you see, this is what politics is about. You
- 46:38Speaker 1: know Barack Obama misses being in the ring. And he's
- 46:41Speaker 1: good at it. And obviously, Donald Trump is good at it.
- 46:45Speaker 1: And they can pirouette. And I think Barack Obama's strategy
- 46:49Speaker 1: here is distract him. My job is to try to
- 46:53Speaker 1: distract him to talk about other issues than the issues
- 46:56Speaker 1: that he was really there to talk about to begin with,
- 46:59Speaker 1: because he knows I get under his skin.
- 47:01Speaker 2: And vice versa. They get under each other's skin. If
- 47:03Speaker 2: that was planned, it worked because he did. And he
- 47:06Speaker 2: was very serious talking about everything he saw and everything
- 47:11Speaker 2: he fixed and everything he did. I'm telling you, we
- 47:14Speaker 2: can't play it here because it goes on forever. But
- 47:16Speaker 2: it's worth watching because it tells you a lot about
- 47:19Speaker 2: the guy. I will say I'll give one addendum, one
- 47:22Speaker 2: change to your heavyweight fight. As much as I love
- 47:25Speaker 2: Donald Trump, if I was going to have the two
- 47:27Speaker 2: best campaigners, it would be Barack Obama versus Ronald Reagan.
- 47:32Speaker 1: No. Oh, my God.
- 47:34Speaker 2: He's the best.
- 47:34Speaker 1: Yeah, but he can't keep up with the pace now.
- 47:38Speaker 1: The pace now is a lot different. You know, it's pirouette.
- 47:41Speaker 1: It's shift. Obama and Trump are the best. Reagan set
- 47:45Speaker 1: the pace. He didn't have to keep up with the pace.
- 47:48Speaker 1: On every debate, he set the pace, and he had
- 47:51Speaker 1: the line of the debate.
- 47:52Speaker 2: I don't know. I'll take Ronald Reagan every single day
- 47:55Speaker 2: of the year.
- 47:56Speaker 1: The other thing, remember, Nobel Peace Prize. Trump is still grumbling.
- 47:59Speaker 1: He didn't get it. He's attacking Norway. Meantime, Barack Obama
- 48:03Speaker 1: got one that he didn't deserve. So here it is.
- 48:07Speaker 1: You had two presidents, one who said, I want my
- 48:10Speaker 1: Nobel Peace Prize. I don't want to hand me down
- 48:13Speaker 1: from Maria Corina Machado that I got. And then there's
- 48:16Speaker 1: Barack Obama. who got a Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing,
- 48:20Speaker 1: and right at the start of his administration, a seven-month
- 48:23Speaker 1: war against Libya. Man, these guys have so much in common.
- 48:28Speaker 1: His library is a cheesecake factory in South Side of Chicago,
- 48:32Speaker 1: and he's accusing Donald Trump of turning the White House
- 48:34Speaker 1: into a cheesecake factory. These guys, people would pay to
- 48:39Speaker 1: watch them debate. We should get.
- 48:41Speaker 2: Some talkbacks right now, especially since we're talking about who
- 48:45Speaker 2: the best debaters are in history. Just go to the
- 48:47Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app, look for 710WOR, you click the talkback feature,
- 48:52Speaker 2: and And then you are on the air. Well, as
- 48:55Speaker 2: you know, Curtis, it's early voting. And Natalie Migliore is
- 49:00Speaker 2: out on the streets to find out how many people
- 49:02Speaker 2: have voted already. Plus, we got Jimmy Fallon at 835.
- 49:06Speaker 1: Now, it's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
- 49:15Speaker 1: Back from the streets, Natalie Migliore. What do you have
- 49:18Speaker 1: for our audience today?
- 49:20Speaker 18: Well, people are showing up and showing out during this
- 49:24Speaker 18: early voting period. Roughly half a million people have early
- 49:28Speaker 18: voted across New York State already, if not more. About
- 49:32Speaker 18: 225,000 are New York City residents that have cast their
- 49:36Speaker 18: ballots in the first three.
- 49:38Speaker 5: Days of early voting. Day four, underway today, so are
- 49:42Speaker 5: people hitting the ballot box.
- 49:45Speaker 3: Oh, it's very important. I vote in every election I can.
- 49:48Speaker 1: I have a mail-in ballot. I'm going Democrat all the way.
- 49:51Speaker 5: I don't trust the mails anymore.
- 49:54Speaker 2: So I'll be handing mine in in person.
- 49:56Speaker 7: No, I'm not going to vote. Why not? Because I
- 49:58Speaker 7: feel like it doesn't count. Honestly, I think the last
- 50:03Speaker 7: time I paid attention to that was, I think, the
- 50:06Speaker 7: first time Trump got elected. And that was the last time.
- 50:09Speaker 7: I feel like it doesn't matter. Like, look at Trump.
- 50:12Speaker 7: He's a fraud.
- 50:14Speaker 1: And he's a president?
- 50:15Speaker 7: Like, that doesn't make sense to me. So anybody could
- 50:17Speaker 7: be a president.
- 50:18Speaker 13: I just don't care anymore. I can't say this on.
- 50:22Speaker 5: You can say whatever you want.
- 50:24Speaker 13: They're full of s * * *.
- 50:25Speaker 5: There you have it.
- 50:27Speaker 1: She told you she couldn't say it.
- 50:29Speaker 18: And I let her say it. Because I know that
- 50:32Speaker 18: I have the power to bleep.
- 50:33Speaker 1: Now, Natalie, a quick PSA. I have up on my
- 50:37Speaker 1: social networking. Why, if you're doing mail-in ballots, you should
- 50:41Speaker 1: not put it in the blue mailbox? Either bring it
- 50:44Speaker 1: to the post office or give it to your mail
- 50:46Speaker 1: carrier because they steal mail. And if they get your
- 50:49Speaker 1: mail ballot, it's of no use to them. They just
- 50:52Speaker 1: throw it away.
- 50:53Speaker 6: Right.
- 50:53Speaker 5: And that woman knew.
- 50:55Speaker 18: So she's going to walk it into her voting place. Now,
- 50:59Speaker 18: this this whole they're full of it seems to be
- 51:02Speaker 18: the sentiment that people feel who aren't voting carry around.
- 51:06Speaker 18: They just aren't buying what's being sold now more than ever.
- 51:10Speaker 18: 12.3 million people are registered to vote in the state
- 51:13Speaker 18: of New York, and just over 3 million of those
- 51:16Speaker 18: voters are independents. So that could determine who ends up
- 51:20Speaker 18: governor between incumbent Democrat Kathy Hochul and Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman.
- 51:25Speaker 5: A race that I have people, you know, I'm wondering,
- 51:28Speaker 5: are people even paying attention to that race?
- 51:31Speaker 3: How could you not?
- 51:32Speaker 5: A lot of people this morning telling me they are not.
- 51:34Speaker 18: So what are you seeing out of this race between
- 51:36Speaker 18: the two?
- 51:37Speaker 12: Well, it's the usual stereotypes of the divisions that people
- 51:41Speaker 12: set up. But beyond those divisions, you have to look
- 51:44Speaker 12: and say, what is likely to come about when this
- 51:47Speaker 12: person takes office?
- 51:48Speaker 2: And you make a judgment about that.
- 51:50Speaker 3: Well, I like Kathy Hochul. I think she's a great governor.
- 51:54Speaker 4: Blakeman says he's a clone of Donald Trump's, and Donald
- 51:57Speaker 4: Trump is exactly who I'm hoping by November we'll have
- 52:02Speaker 4: at least semi-castrated him.
- 52:04Speaker 1: Oh, my God! Semi-castrated?
- 52:08Speaker 5: It's an image.
- 52:10Speaker 3: It's an image.
- 52:12Speaker 1: That's worse than castration.
- 52:13Speaker 2: Semi-castration's worse.
- 52:15Speaker 1: Does that mean he's a eunuch? Whoa, what is semi?
- 52:19Speaker 1: I never heard of that term. Is that consummate?
- 52:24Speaker 5: I literally just let people talk.
- 52:26Speaker 1: That was great. That was brilliant.
- 52:29Speaker 2: You don't just let them talk. You play them on.
- 52:31Speaker 3: The air, Natalie.
- 52:32Speaker 5: Yes, I know. I give them a voice.
- 52:36Speaker 4: Well, these people know that that's going to happen.
- 52:38Speaker 7: Exactly.
- 52:38Speaker 1: Imagine what they say in private.
- 52:41Speaker 5: That is true.
- 52:44Speaker 18: So that's the image that I walked away with and
- 52:46Speaker 18: told her to have a beautiful day. But to be honest,
- 52:50Speaker 18: these people seem to be voting along party lines when
- 52:53Speaker 18: you talk to them, right? It's not about what the
- 52:56Speaker 18: policies are behind each candidate. When you ask them, they
- 53:00Speaker 18: actually tell me that they're very unhappy what's happening at
- 53:04Speaker 18: the federal level. And so that tends to trickle down
- 53:08Speaker 18: into how they're voting on the local level, something we've
- 53:10Speaker 18: discussed before. So talk to some people who don't even
- 53:15Speaker 18: plan on voting and they are just so disenchanted by
- 53:19Speaker 18: the system that they have what they say, way more
- 53:23Speaker 18: stuff that they're worrying about.
- 53:25Speaker 13: Healthcare, transportation, groceries skyrocket. I mean, it's just not fair.
- 53:33Speaker 13: And I'm retired, and I get my monthly checks, right?
- 53:41Speaker 13: And it doesn't even add up. I mean, it doesn't
- 53:43Speaker 13: even make it for me. And I've got to struggle.
- 53:47Speaker 13: I've still got to struggle. I've worked 24 years.
- 53:49Speaker 3: Healthcare is my priority.
- 53:52Speaker 7: You see the surge in food costs, and only people
- 53:56Speaker 7: that receive Medicaid are allowed to get those special boxes
- 54:00Speaker 7: delivered to them. What happened to middle class? I have
- 54:03Speaker 7: to pay for everything, for the doctor, for my food,
- 54:07Speaker 7: for my transportation, taxes. You know what I mean? When
- 54:11Speaker 7: do we get to breathe?
- 54:13Speaker 5: Now, Larry made a face in the very beginning. In fact,
- 54:17Speaker 5: not just a face. If I could say he almost
- 54:20Speaker 5: looked like he.
- 54:20Speaker 1: Was on a roller coaster.
- 54:21Speaker 5: He rolled all the way back. What was that?
- 54:25Speaker 1: Because the way you led into that. And excuse me
- 54:27Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. You said that people have found reasons
- 54:31Speaker 1: not to vote.
- 54:32Speaker 10: Right.
- 54:32Speaker 18: That they are that they're so frustrated and they have
- 54:35Speaker 18: other stuff that they're worrying about.
- 54:36Speaker 2: But then they list health care, transportation and prices as
- 54:40Speaker 2: the reason they're not voting.
- 54:43Speaker 1: There's something really wrong.
- 54:45Speaker 18: I don't know that those aren't, based on conversation, the
- 54:50Speaker 18: reasons why they're not voting. They are just so disenchanted.
- 54:55Speaker 18: And they feel, when they talk to me, they tell me,
- 54:58Speaker 18: They feel they don't have a voice. Their voice doesn't matter.
- 55:00Speaker 18: It doesn't matter how they cast their ballot.
- 55:02Speaker 1: That's their only voice. That's it. That's their voice. And
- 55:05Speaker 1: haven't they seen all the close elections, all the polling
- 55:09Speaker 1: now that's neck and neck? I've never seen such neck
- 55:11Speaker 1: and neck polling in my lifetime of observing politics.
- 55:16Speaker 6: Man.
- 55:17Speaker 18: I am a reporter, not an activist. So I just
- 55:19Speaker 18: let people say what they want to say.
- 55:23Speaker 5: Now I'm going to go out on the street with
- 55:25Speaker 5: both of you and you can tell them why it's
- 55:27Speaker 5: important to vote.
- 55:28Speaker 6: You idiot.
- 55:30Speaker 5: Yes, they'll really take to that.
- 55:32Speaker 1: That's exactly what.
- 55:33Speaker 5: Somebody who's sharing their opinion wants to be told on
- 55:36Speaker 5: the street.
- 55:36Speaker 4: You're an idiot.
- 55:37Speaker 2: No, I'd never say that because I'd get the hell
- 55:39Speaker 2: beat out of me. I'm not a good fighter.
- 55:41Speaker 1: Well, the one bright light for Bruce Blakeman is he's
- 55:44Speaker 1: winning the independent vote, which normally at this point in
- 55:47Speaker 1: the election. a Republican is not winning in this state.
- 55:51Speaker 1: So that's, that's a very good sign. What that one,
- 55:54Speaker 1: that one participant had mentioned. Anyway, Natalie Migliore, we've got
- 55:59Speaker 1: to segue you out of here. You'll be back. Same time,
- 56:02Speaker 1: same place, uh, tomorrow at seven 50.
- 56:05Speaker 22: Wow.
- 56:06Speaker 1: Midterm elections moving quickly in so many places where polls
- 56:10Speaker 1: say it's neck and neck. I've never Larry and my
- 56:14Speaker 1: entire life scene right across the board. So many elections, uh,
- 56:19Speaker 1: particularly at the Senate level, that are contested, where you
- 56:22Speaker 1: see like 49-50. And it's incredible. But a lot of
- 56:27Speaker 1: folks are focused on Michigan because there are two extremes there.
- 56:32Speaker 1: There's Jack Armstrong, the All-American, Mike Rogers. You know, he
- 56:35Speaker 1: waves the flag. I'm a patriot. My whole family is served.
- 56:38Speaker 1: Even my wife served in Iraq. And then you have El-Said,
- 56:43Speaker 1: who is trying everything he can to get out of
- 56:46Speaker 1: that bubble of being the Muslim candidate, like we had mentioned.
- 56:50Speaker 1: He was in the Upper Peninsula. He had the American
- 56:52Speaker 1: cowboy hat on, red, white, and blue. He was doing
- 56:55Speaker 1: country-western dances. He's done raps. He's lifting weights, unlike his mentor,
- 57:03Speaker 1: who is Zorhan. He couldn't even lift his body weight.
- 57:06Speaker 1: He's trying everything. But when I say politics is the
- 57:11Speaker 1: dirtiest business there is, especially in these waning days, you're
- 57:15Speaker 1: going to hear ads. Man, it's dirty. So a lot
- 57:20Speaker 1: of these are not even ads, Larry. They just they
- 57:23Speaker 1: air online. And then naturally, so many people see the
- 57:26Speaker 1: millions of people see him. So in the waning days
- 57:29Speaker 1: of his campaign, and we're going to play it for you.
- 57:33Speaker 1: It seems like there's a husband and wife. They're both white.
- 57:35Speaker 1: They're at the checkout line. And the wife, you think,
- 57:39Speaker 1: is just talking about the high price of groceries. But
- 57:44Speaker 1: guess what she attributes it to? Honey.
- 57:48Speaker 22: What?
- 57:49Speaker 7: You're going to have to put those eggs back.
- 57:51Speaker 8: They don't like eggs anymore?
- 57:52Speaker 5: No, they like eggs.
- 57:54Speaker 7: But we have to set that $ 7 aside for killing Palestinians.
- 57:58Speaker 21: Yes.
- 57:59Speaker 6: What?
- 57:59Speaker 8: I mean, don't we give Israel $ 4 billion a year anyways?
- 58:02Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 58:03Speaker 5: And now we're giving them another $ 26 billion. Do you
- 58:07Speaker 5: know how much that is per American taxpayer?
- 58:10Speaker 6: No.
- 58:10Speaker 5: It's like $ 161 per person.
- 58:12Speaker 7: Apparently it's costing us a lot of money to drop
- 58:15Speaker 7: bombs on Gaza.
- 58:17Speaker 1: And so.
- 58:18Speaker 2: That's shocking. That is such a bad ad. You can't
- 58:22Speaker 2: buy eggs because we have to kill Palestinians. Come on.
- 58:25Speaker 1: That's unbelievably over the line. Right, but it's getting the clicks.
- 58:30Speaker 1: And also a lot of potential voters who may be,
- 58:33Speaker 1: they're not aligned one side or the other, but they
- 58:36Speaker 1: don't necessarily want our money going overseas to anybody, never
- 58:39Speaker 1: mind Israel. So this ad was put together by a
- 58:43Speaker 1: guy named Cenk Uygur. Now you say, who the hell
- 58:47Speaker 1: is he? He's one of these young Turks. He happens
- 58:50Speaker 1: to be the uncle of Hasan Piker. That's his nephew.
- 58:54Speaker 6: Wow.
- 58:55Speaker 2: I know who he is. I think most people know
- 58:58Speaker 2: him from the Young Turks. And naturally, what does El-Said say?
- 59:02Speaker 1: I had no idea. I don't know anything about this.
- 59:06Speaker 1: I'm not involved in the making of this, you know,
- 59:09Speaker 1: but this... is online, and you're going to see there
- 59:13Speaker 1: are millions of people all over the world who are
- 59:14Speaker 1: going to be watching this, including people who are voting
- 59:17Speaker 1: today in Israel, which we'll be commenting on tomorrow for
- 59:20Speaker 1: the next prime minister. But it's an ad like that.
- 59:25Speaker 1: that might get some people, they think, the al-Said camp,
- 59:29Speaker 1: to swing over because they don't want their money going anywhere,
- 59:32Speaker 1: including to Israel.
- 59:33Speaker 2: I think it'll get more people voting against him. That's
- 59:36Speaker 2: why he's coming out and going, no, no, it's not me.
- 59:39Speaker 2: By the way, it is illegal for campaigns to collude
- 59:45Speaker 2: with super PACs or PACs. As a matter of fact,
- 59:48Speaker 2: the fines are heavy. You can get up to $ 1, 000,
- 59:50Speaker 2: time the cost of the ad, A thousand times times
- 59:55Speaker 2: the cost of the ad is one fine. You can
- 59:58Speaker 2: also get five years in prison. So when a candidate says, no,
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: I had nothing to do with that, chances are they're
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: telling the truth. Let's talk more about the ad in Maine.
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: I'm just looking for an excuse to play it because
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: I think it's the funniest ad ever. Do you know
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: I find myself walking around the house singing that song?
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: That song just— you do too, Crash?
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: It sticks in your head. I do too. And I'm
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: not a big country-western guy, as you know. But boy,
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: that sticks to you. And you know up in Maine,
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: not too much to do. They're probably playing that over
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: and over and over, and it's funny. It is funny.
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: But again, Susan Collins saying, I know nothing about the
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: making of this ad, but people are going to play
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: it over and over. If nothing more... Then if they're
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: at a bar or, you know, they're in one's own home,
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: they get a great belly laugh out of that. Yeah, absolutely.
- 1:00:54Speaker 2: In the meantime, Byron Donald's gotten to a little bit
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: of trouble. And it's trouble that many of us get into.
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: This is why you never call anybody sir or madam anymore.
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: Because you may end up getting the wrong gender.
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: I'm not a sir, I'm a ma'am. As a member
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: of Congress, I voted to actually release those files. Are
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: you f * * * ing kidding me?
- 1:01:22Speaker 21: F * * *!
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: What the f * * * is going on? I'm
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: listening to the boys in the mirror. What the f * * *?
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: You don't see the rest of me, right? See a
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: woman there. What the f * * *.
- 1:01:36Speaker 7: Is going on?
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: That's not the person that he misgendered. That's someone else
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: behind him that said, I can't believe you just did that.
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: The one mistake he made, if I'm going to say it,
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: and you've run, how would you handle this, Curtis? Because
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: I think he needed to apologize. He should have said, oh,
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: I'm really sorry.
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: Well, you know, in New York, you're almost stuck with he, she, they, right?
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: Yeah, he, she. Well, how would you like, or better yet,
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: how would you like me to identify you, right? Then
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: you can't be on shaky ground, but it is funny.
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: It is funny, but let me defend him for a second,
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: Byron Donalds. It did look like a dude with long hair.
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: I mean, you have to put a little bit more
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: work into it if you're going to transgender. You can't
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: just grow your hair long, put a little makeup on,
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: put a dress on, do something. Really buy into it
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: because then people won't misgender you.
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: Now, the president will be in Florida the last of
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: his 30 stops in 30 days on Friday. I don't
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: know if he's doing anything Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. Probably
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: will be. But you know he'll probably mention that. You
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: know he will probably mention that.
- 1:02:52Speaker 2: He can't help himself.
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: And again, that's an election for governor to replace DeSantis.
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: By the way, DeSantis did not endorse Byron. That was
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: not his favorite candidate to replace him. But that's turned
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: out to be a close race. When they thought, oh,
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: this slam dunk Florida, slam dunk. So everything is tightening up,
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: no matter what you say. And of course, let's go
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: up to Alaska. where the Department of Justice has said, hey,
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: we preemptively want to go to court and not allow
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: this election to take place the way it is. They
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: want it to be annulled because there are two Sullivans
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: on the ballot. So you have to understand, Alaska is
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: a lot different. They have ranked choice voting. Really, it's
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: more nonpartisan, although you pretty much know who the participants are.
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: And there are four finalists. So originally... In the primary,
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: there were many, many participants who just didn't get up
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: to that threshold of being the four. So actually, there
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: are three Republicans. So you have Sullivan, who is the senator.
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: You have Sullivan that many people misinterpret for Sullivan, the senator.
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: And then you have this guy, Gerald Haney or something
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: like that. He's a Republican. And the only Democrat is Peltola,
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: who right now is favored, according to the polls. So
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: Dan Sullivan is the one who could mess everything up
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: for the sitting Senator Sullivan, because with ranked choice voting,
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: you could have Sullivan one, the Senator Sullivan two, if
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: you so choose. And boy, that causes a lot of chaos.
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: You know, the Justice Department has filed suit.
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: And so they may hold up. results.
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: I would because this is ridiculous. So originally the Election
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: Commission said you can't do it in the primary. A
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: judge reversed it and the highest Alaska court upheld it.
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: So now all of a sudden Sullivan is under fire
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: because of the Justice Department. So he decides I'm going
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: to do an interview but I'm up in a fishing
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: village and That you can't even find with a GPS.
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: And he is speaking to Alaska Beacon reporter by email only.
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: And she is the pool reporter for everyone else. And
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: she asked, did you change your registration? And he said, no. No,
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: I'm a Republican. And she said, you have changed your registration.
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: You are now basically what they call a blank, an independent.
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: And he did a Phil Rizzuto. He he texted back,
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: emailed back. Holy cow. Almost like goma pile. Unbelievable. This
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: guy is no serious candidate. He is not running. He's
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: not doing campaign stops. He's not raising any money. He's
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: doing Jack Diddley squat other than to try to fool
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: through technology voters into thinking one Sullivan may be the same.
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: You know, like the Sullivan brothers. I think there were
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: seven of them in World War Two. You know that
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: they all died in action. And that's why they don't
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: allow you to serve in the same ship or the
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: same detail. But, man, this guy, the only interview he
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: did was responding to emails, and he is in the
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: eye of the storm.
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: There in Alaska. He's not. He's not a candidate. He's
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: not a candidate. It's very obvious what they're doing. They're
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: just trying to fool the voters. This is a Democratic
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: thing to do. When we come back, your favorite performer,
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: Ella Langley, back in the news.
- 1:06:31Speaker 3: And, well.
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: I'll save that for when we come back. Plus, a
- 1:06:35Speaker 2: chance to see comedian John Mulaney is coming up next. Well,
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: America seems to disagree. She's back to number one after
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: being knocked off for one week. That makes 25 weeks
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: How is that possible? I thought Taylor Swift was dominating
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: with all her Swifties, knocked her from her perch. Are
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: you trying to say the Swifties have lost their clout?
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: Patient Zeroes dropped to number two because Ella Langley's strength
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: of that song went back to number one. Here's another
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: record she broke. She has been knocked off the number
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: one spot and taken it back more than any artist
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: in history. She's been knocked off by Drake, Taylor Swift, BTS,
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: Bruno Mars, Olivia Rodrigo, and Ariana Grande, all superstar acts,
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: knock her off for a week or a two, and
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: then she comes right back to number one. This song
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: has lasting power. And for the first time, her album...
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: Dandelion is number one on the Billboard Top 200.
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: Who's messing with the algorithms? That sounds like every other
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: country western song that comes out in Nashville. And I
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: am surprised on a day where I am sitting concerned,
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: as I know you, Natalie, and so many in our audience.
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: For the health of Tom Jones, the Welshman, 86 years old,
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: who has Tallarico flu. He's got a serious strain of flu.
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: He had to cancel his engagements in L.A., San Diego.
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: May have to do the three he's going to do
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: in Vegas. I mean, here's a guy, remember, had number one.
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: She's a lady. Sex bomb, Delia. Come on.
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Tallarico, first of all, was 37 years old,
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: and he had to take two weeks off. He's probably
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: going to take one concert date off and then come
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: right back. Now, Tallarico, don't compare him to him. He's
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: got something else going on. That guy's a little bit weird.
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: You know, for you to mention her when I'm feeling
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: for Tom Jones. Remember how he'd have the open shirt,
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: the hair, the medallions, the whole nine yards? Yeah. Come on, now,
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: that's an entertainer. That's somebody who's got legacy. What's the
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: name of this woman again?
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: Well, that explains a whole lot why you don't like
- 1:09:04Speaker 2: Ella Langley too much. You like the Tom Joneses of
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: the world and the Frank Sinatras, you know, back when
- 1:09:10Speaker 2: it was great.
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: Well, I would have offered to Tom Jones, who was
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: a fixture in my household, I would have held his
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: hand while he got the flu vaccine.
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: Let's get some talkbacks.
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: Guys, there is no competition.
- 1:09:23Speaker 21: Trump would rip Barack Obama a new one.
- 1:09:27Speaker 6: You got to remember, Trump is a junkyard dog and Obama.
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: Is just a Ivy League little socialist.
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: There is no contest.
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: Oh, come on.
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: No contest.
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: Come on. You'd have to say it is a contest.
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: He got his ass kicked twice by Mitt Romney. If
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: Mitt Romney can beat him, then I do believe that
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: Trump can beat.
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: Him as well.
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: The best debater of this modern day had to be
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk.
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: He was so calm, never cursed.
- 1:09:57Speaker 2: Kept to the point nobody was better yeah amen to
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: that and he let everybody else talk and and say
- 1:10:04Speaker 2: what they had to say he waited until they were
- 1:10:06Speaker 2: done to come back and eviscerate them.
- 1:10:10Speaker 10: I wish i could even afford the cheesecake factory right
- 1:10:14Speaker 10: now it just shows how out of touch they are
- 1:10:17Speaker 10: oh that's a.
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: Good one that's a democrat there you go that's a
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: good one there's a couple of them that's what's.
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: So when it comes to debates, one of the best
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: ones had the best line. You are no Jack Kennedy.
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: Do you remember the two that were in the debate? Oh, sure.
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: That was Dan Quayle. And was it Benson is his name? Yeah.
- 1:10:42Speaker 6: Correct.
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: Senator Benson says, I know. I knew JFK. You know, JFK.
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: And remember, there's Quayle who couldn't even spell potato. And
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: he was like spun like a top. And I must admit,
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: I lifted that in my mayoral debate. Remember when I
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: looked at Andrew Evil Eyes Cuomo and said, I knew
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: your father, Mario. You know, Mario Cuomo. Oh, that's interesting.
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: I missed that.
- 1:11:04Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: I lift that.

- 1:11:59Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 1:11:59Speaker 17: Guys, you made my day. Let me tell you that.
- 1:12:02Speaker 17: I have to say, if I'm going to have to
- 1:12:03Speaker 17: be at work on a birthday day, I want to
- 1:12:05Speaker 17: be here with my new family. I've been here less
- 1:12:07Speaker 17: than a year and you guys make me feel like
- 1:12:08Speaker 17: I've been family forever. I just want to thank you
- 1:12:11Speaker 17: for that.
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: That's nice.
- 1:12:12Speaker 17: One week to go to Election Day. There's been an
- 1:12:15Speaker 17: explosion of early voting with more than 30 million Americans
- 1:12:18Speaker 17: already casting their ballots. And that includes nearly 250,000 residents
- 1:12:23Speaker 17: here in the city. President Trump will be back out
- 1:12:25Speaker 17: on the campaign trail, but his message to voters is
- 1:12:28Speaker 17: not limited to the people who are on the ballot.
- 1:12:30Speaker 17: Top of voters' minds, rising gas prices amid the war
- 1:12:33Speaker 17: in Iran. But during the rally, the president defending his
- 1:12:37Speaker 17: flurry of White House renovations, from his ballroom to the
- 1:12:40Speaker 17: gold in the Oval Office.
- 1:12:41Speaker 22: It actually relaxes me. Donald Trump spends a lot of
- 1:12:46Speaker 22: his time Fixing up the White House, isn't that a
- 1:12:49Speaker 22: nice thing to do?
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: It comes after former President Obama on the campaign trail
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: mocked the president's renovation projects.
- 1:12:55Speaker 17: ABC's Jay O'Brien, 30 years in a federal prison for
- 1:12:59Speaker 17: a repeat sex offender from Brooklyn who had a history
- 1:13:02Speaker 17: of targeting young kids at synagogues.
- 1:13:04Speaker 23: Joseph Grunwald was sentenced last week. He pleaded guilty in
- 1:13:08Speaker 23: August to coercing a 14-year-old boy into a sexual performance
- 1:13:12Speaker 23: and two counts of receiving child porn. The 34-year-old had
- 1:13:16Speaker 23: gotten two boys to send sexual images, and he'd sexually
- 1:13:19Speaker 23: abused the 14-year-old. Grunwald was on probation for molesting a
- 1:13:24Speaker 23: 7-year-old girl at a synagogue and sexually abusing a 13-year-old boy,
- 1:13:28Speaker 23: both of which he pleaded guilty to in state court
- 1:13:32Speaker 23: in 2019. He avoided prison time for those attacks. Andrew Whitman,

- 1:13:38Speaker 17: The FBI's Tampa office is looking into Meghan Markle's estranged father,
- 1:13:42Speaker 17: Thomas Markle. The Duchess of Sussex's dad allegedly had a
- 1:13:45Speaker 17: vast stash of child sexual abuse material. Well, the iPhone
- 1:13:49Speaker 17: Duo just came out, and there are already some problems
- 1:13:53Speaker 17: with it. There are reports that the screens are cracking.
- 1:13:57Speaker 17: Apple says it's aware of it and that it'll fix
- 1:13:59Speaker 17: or replace the devices. The Rangers lost to Los Angeles 6-3.

- 1:14:13Speaker 1: won a pair of tickets to see comedian John Mulaney's
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: final stop on his Nine Night Nine venue. Mulaney takes
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: Manhattan to a January 15th in Madison Square Garden. There's
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: another chance to win tomorrow at 825. Up next, you
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: go to sleep with Jimmy Failure. Monday through Friday, 9
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: to 12 right here at 710WOR. And then you wake
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: up with me and Larry in the morning at 6.
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon. Oh, man, I'm prepared for him. Wait till
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: you hear what I open up with him on. So
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: there I was, like so many people, watching the wedding
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: of the rock-reved, all-American, conservative voice of reason from Franklin Square,
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: Long Island, Sean Hannity, and his lovely bride, Aimsley, all
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: dressed in white tux and tail, everybody. And who do
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: I see off to the side like a real goober?
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: Dressed in white, busting at the seams. Our own Jimmy Failure,
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: who was the ring boy for the ceremony. Come on, Jimmy.
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: Is that the only way you could get into this ceremony?
- 1:15:17Speaker 21: Good for you. You stop it. I was actually out
- 1:15:20Speaker 21: in Napa telling jokes Saturday night. I took my mom
- 1:15:24Speaker 21: with me to California because she's 75 and she's never
- 1:15:27Speaker 21: had fentanyl. So, you know, you got this bucket list.
- 1:15:30Speaker 21: You got to check the items. It's like you got
- 1:15:32Speaker 21: it now or never.
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
- 1:15:34Speaker 21: So I missed the royal wedding. I was not there.
- 1:15:37Speaker 21: And just so you understand, Fox does not have me
- 1:15:40Speaker 21: at any event that has an open bar. If you
- 1:15:47Speaker 21: notice at the White House Correspondents Dinner, my show is
- 1:15:49Speaker 21: on the red carpet and not inside the ballroom.
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: You got into the ballroom after the shooting happened, right?
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: You hid out in there.
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: Did you eat?
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: Did you get some drinks while you were hiding?
- 1:16:03Speaker 21: No, you're going to laugh. I was in the ballroom
- 1:16:05Speaker 21: as it happened, okay? It's so crazy. So I was
- 1:16:09Speaker 21: walking up to the front thinking I was going to
- 1:16:11Speaker 21: be cool and fist bump the president. Like, oh, look
- 1:16:13Speaker 21: at Jimmy, you know? And literally halfway to the front
- 1:16:16Speaker 21: of the room, everything went down. So I'm under a
- 1:16:19Speaker 21: table with Kennedy.
- 1:16:20Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:16:21Speaker 21: Eating rolls, chugging wine. And then the shooting happened.
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: I'm kidding.
- 1:16:26Speaker 21: No, we were, we are, but it was just crazy. And, uh,
- 1:16:28Speaker 21: you know, we made it out.
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: Did you ever get to eat by the way, during
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: that whole thing?
- 1:16:34Speaker 6: Okay.
- 1:16:34Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:16:35Speaker 21: Because what happened was, is this funny story? Because I
- 1:16:38Speaker 21: was the guy hosting the TV show for three hours.
- 1:16:40Speaker 21: They're obviously, when breaking news like that happens, they throw
- 1:16:43Speaker 21: me out of the way. They're not going to have
- 1:16:45Speaker 21: Jimmy making balloon animals in a rhinestone jacket while the
- 1:16:48Speaker 21: SWAT team's in the Secret Service.
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: So you're going to laugh.
- 1:16:52Speaker 21: This might be the fattest.
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: Thing I've ever done.
- 1:16:56Speaker 21: In real time, as I see the chaos unfolding in
- 1:16:59Speaker 21: the ballroom, I'm not even making this up. I room-serviced
- 1:17:03Speaker 21: to 339, and it got there before everything shut down.
- 1:17:07Speaker 21: I hit a turkey club. I'm not even kidding. I
- 1:17:11Speaker 21: wish I was lying. We had this app. It's like
- 1:17:15Speaker 21: a valet parking app where if you text your code,
- 1:17:18Speaker 21: it just brings you stuff. I ordered a turkey club
- 1:17:21Speaker 21: and fries and got to my room and ate it
- 1:17:23Speaker 21: and watched my own TV show. Like I said, Fox
- 1:17:25Speaker 21: News Saturday Night with Jimmy Fallon, but I wasn't on it.
- 1:17:28Speaker 21: It was amazing.
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: Now, speaking of eating. You have this thing going on
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: with our producer, Natalie. Nothing on the hush-hush down low,
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: but she tends to text you pictures of loaves of
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: Italian bread, and I don't know. Do you get off
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: on that, Jimmy?
- 1:17:48Speaker 7: Oh, no, no, no.
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: Oh, innocent. Right, Jimmy?
- 1:17:52Speaker 21: No, but Natalie has sent me so many of these
- 1:17:55Speaker 21: six-inch loaves, I feel like Anthony Weiner's back on Twitter.
- 1:17:58Speaker 21: It's crazy.
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: Sailing in.
- 1:18:03Speaker 4: Well, I'm going to see Jimmy tomorrow night, so I'm excited.
- 1:18:06Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 1:18:07Speaker 2: Tomorrow night. Sold out crowd. What can people expect that
- 1:18:10Speaker 2: are going to be there tomorrow night?
- 1:18:12Speaker 21: Well, I mean, you're going to see me. I always
- 1:18:14Speaker 21: say my natural habitat. This is where I started. You know,
- 1:18:17Speaker 21: when you first start to instead of comedy, you're doing
- 1:18:20Speaker 21: open open mics.
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: Like opium dens on the Lower East Side.
- 1:18:23Speaker 21: And then you actually do play Italian restaurants because they'll
- 1:18:25Speaker 21: have like a comedy night.
- 1:18:27Speaker 3: Families come down.
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: They like to laugh.
- 1:18:29Speaker 21: So you're seeing, like, for real, this is like a
- 1:18:31Speaker 21: 2001 Jimmy Fallon, but I'm not going to have the
- 1:18:33Speaker 21: bleach blonde hair this time.
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: I'm going to reign it in a little bit for
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: too big. Disappointing.
- 1:18:38Speaker 4: Rhinestone jacket, I hope, though.
- 1:18:42Speaker 21: You never know.
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: You never know.
- 1:18:43Speaker 21: But I'm psyched for the gig because I love doing
- 1:18:46Speaker 21: comedy in Jersey specifically because Jersey never lost the edge.
- 1:18:50Speaker 21: You know, there's something about waiting two hours to cross
- 1:18:53Speaker 21: a bridge that charges you 30 bucks. That, you know,
- 1:18:55Speaker 21: kind of keeps your priorities in order.
- 1:18:57Speaker 3: That's right.
- 1:18:59Speaker 21: Jersey crowds are the best crowds. So you will watch, like,
- 1:19:01Speaker 21: the most aggressive version of my set there is.
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: And I like that. It's, like, exciting for me. Now,
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: we talked earlier, Jimmy. Hopefully you were listening and you
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: weren't in a drug-induced psychosis sleep. But we were talking
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: of how New Jersey drivers are rated the second worst
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: in the nation. You've been all over the nation touring,
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: doing your stand-up. North Dakota first. New Jersey second. Now,
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: you've crisscrossed the Garden State to Turnpike, Garden State Parkway.
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: How do you weigh in on this, Jimmy?
- 1:19:36Speaker 21: Well, there's a thing, okay? In North Dakota, you've got
- 1:19:38Speaker 21: to understand, they're driving horses. So I don't think that counts.
- 1:19:43Speaker 10: You know what I mean?
- 1:19:45Speaker 21: We've got motorized vehicles back here on the East Coast,
- 1:19:48Speaker 21: and I think it's a totally different experience. Pound for
- 1:19:51Speaker 21: pound is the thing. I think Jersey are the most
- 1:19:53Speaker 21: aggressive drivers in America, okay, because it really is the
- 1:19:57Speaker 21: only state where you signal after you've already made it
- 1:20:00Speaker 21: into the next lane. That's right.
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: What is that signal again?
- 1:20:05Speaker 21: Yeah, you don't signal to let them know you're coming over.
- 1:20:08Speaker 21: You signal to let them know you made it, you know?
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: That's the funniest thing in the world.
- 1:20:14Speaker 21: I'll talk about that a little. But I consider Jersey
- 1:20:16Speaker 21: the most aggressive. But in my experience, I'm not kidding,
- 1:20:18Speaker 21: I think Florida and California are the worst because there's
- 1:20:22Speaker 21: no consistency. Like in California, the far right lane is
- 1:20:27Speaker 21: often the fastest lane because there's a guy in the
- 1:20:29Speaker 21: left lane who can't speak English or read the road
- 1:20:32Speaker 21: signs that Gavin Newsom gave a trucker's license to. And
- 1:20:35Speaker 21: everybody's just trying to stay the hell out of there.
- 1:20:38Speaker 2: I'm just shocked that there's something called a far right
- 1:20:41Speaker 2: lane in California. That was a surprise to me. Hey, listen,
- 1:20:46Speaker 2: tomorrow night you're appearing and you're doing some stand-up, Kuchina Kalandra.
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: I look at Donald Trump when he's on this tour.
- 1:20:55Speaker 2: And by the way, he's doing seven shows in six nights.
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: That's what comics do. Seven shows in six nights. And
- 1:21:01Speaker 2: he goes on for 90 minutes. When you see him,
- 1:21:04Speaker 2: do you think to yourself he'd be a great stand-up?
- 1:21:08Speaker 21: I think he'd be a good emcee. And MC is
- 1:21:11Speaker 21: the guy who comes on and just picks on the
- 1:21:13Speaker 21: crowd for 10 minutes before the comic comes out. Because
- 1:21:16Speaker 21: those are all of his best moments. It's like he's
- 1:21:18Speaker 21: a crowd work comedian, you know, and that's what you'd
- 1:21:22Speaker 21: like him to do because he juice up the room.
- 1:21:24Speaker 21: He comes on, he calls somebody fake news, checks out
- 1:21:27Speaker 21: this guy's butt.
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: You know, I.
- 1:21:31Speaker 21: Was so happy to get Nicki Minaj on stage because
- 1:21:34Speaker 21: Trump is killing me. Because all I want to do
- 1:21:37Speaker 21: is tell jokes about James Tallarico being in the closet.
- 1:21:40Speaker 21: But every time they throw Trump a microphone, he checks
- 1:21:42Speaker 21: out another guy's ass. I can't do the Tallarico stuff
- 1:21:48Speaker 21: if you're going to keep doing this.
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: Well, anyway, Jimmy, don't fail me now, failure. You go
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: to sleep with Jimmy in any which way you choose.
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: Monday through Friday from 9 to 12 here on WOR710,
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: the most listened-to talk station in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut,
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: and Pennsylvania. And then you wake up with Larry and
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: me in the morning. What a one-two combination there, huh?
- 1:22:17Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:22:18Speaker 21: It's a one-two. You know, the people who go to
- 1:22:20Speaker 21: bed with me, okay? Just to be clear, okay, this
- 1:22:24Speaker 21: is not one of those, like, you know, we do
- 1:22:27Speaker 21: a lively show, but Curtis always promotes my show like
- 1:22:30Speaker 21: it's the Bill Cosby bartending school. I'm not knocking these people.
- 1:22:36Speaker 6: Out.
- 1:22:36Speaker 2: Have a great time tomorrow night. I'm sure it's going
- 1:22:38Speaker 2: to be wonderful. Can't wait to hear about it. Thanks
- 1:22:40Speaker 2: a lot, Jim.
- 1:22:41Speaker 21: Red picks for everybody.
- 1:22:42Speaker 3: Love you. Take care.
- 1:22:43Speaker 21: That's right.
- 1:22:44Speaker 2: Curtis, they're setting records, they say, in Israel right now
- 1:22:48Speaker 2: with the voting. It's up 31.5% at this point. That's
- 1:22:53Speaker 2: the most people to vote in an election since the 1970s.
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: So we're talking about five decades since they've had this
- 1:23:00Speaker 2: many people come out. And I know that Benjamin Netanyahu
- 1:23:05Speaker 2: is worried about this because he has been urging his
- 1:23:09Speaker 2: right-wing base to vote by pointing at the high turnouts
- 1:23:14Speaker 2: among Arab citizens of Israel. And as a matter of fact,
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: the parties with the Likud party is pushing the same narrative.
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: It released a poster with a crowd of a woman
- 1:23:26Speaker 2: in a hijab urging right-wing Israelis not to stay at home.
- 1:23:33Speaker 2: So you can see that Netanyahu is worried about this.
- 1:23:37Speaker 2: With four people, as you stated earlier, there may not
- 1:23:40Speaker 2: be a clear winner at the end of this.
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: No. And interesting, Israel, one day, one day only voting,
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: no mail-in ballots. If you happen to be living overseas,
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: which about 630,000 Israelis are, you are entitled to vote,
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: but you must come back and cast your vote in person.
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: So that is added to obviously a tremendous voter turnout,
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: and that's good. The more people vote, the better. But
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: these are the two things that stand out to me.
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: You have the posters all over Israel from the Golan
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: Heights to Eilat, where Bibi is pointing to the crowd
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: with Trump next to him, and he says, only with
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: him will we complete the mission. And you know what
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: he means, regime change in Iran and bombing Iran. That's
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: like one of his key points. So that has resonated.
- 1:24:32Speaker 1: But his main opposition, this guy Gadi, who used to
- 1:24:35Speaker 1: be the chief of staff of the military, quiet. Not
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: as telegenic as Bibi. Bibi was trained in America, so
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: he has the American ability with the camera. But he
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: has billboards that says, my son was killed in Gaza
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: while Bibi's son was tweeting from Miami. All of that
- 1:24:55Speaker 1: is true. So that's resonated. And then the two big
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: issues you can't get away from this is secular versus
- 1:25:01Speaker 1: the ultra-Orthodox. Reservists now who are fighting in Gaza, fighting
- 1:25:06Speaker 1: in Lebanon, and obviously doing security from all their other adversaries.
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: are called up for previously unheard 200 or more days
- 1:25:15Speaker 1: a year. That means they have to leave their families,
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: they have to leave their jobs, while the ultra-Orthodox are
- 1:25:20Speaker 1: exempt from doing service. So there's a lot of anger
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: from the secular population that pays the taxes, fights the wars.
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: They're only averaging about one and a half children, you know,
- 1:25:32Speaker 1: typical like America and Europe. Meantime, the ultra-Orthodox have seven
- 1:25:37Speaker 1: kids a year. Most of those families are on welfare.
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: So naturally, if you had to pay for all of this,
- 1:25:43Speaker 1: plus fight the wars, plus bury your dead, like Gotti
- 1:25:47Speaker 1: buried his son, you're really pissed off.
- 1:25:50Speaker 2: I've been hearing from a lot of New Yorkers with
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: dual citizenship that are flying back. I've seen interviews with
- 1:25:57Speaker 2: several of. And there's some on both sides, some for Netanyahu,
- 1:26:00Speaker 2: not Netanyahu, which is really what this is racist about.
- 1:26:03Speaker 2: It's about Netanyahu or not Netanyahu. And the one person
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: that I thought was really reasonable was a student at
- 1:26:10Speaker 2: NYU who was flying back. And he said that Netanyahu's
- 1:26:16Speaker 2: did a great job. I really like Netanyahu, but his
- 1:26:20Speaker 2: job is done. It's been 20 years. We need someone else.
- 1:26:24Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: And so there is a supporter of Netanyahu that's going
- 1:26:29Speaker 2: back there to vote against Netanyahu only because.
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: they think, well, he's been.
- 1:26:36Speaker 2: There too long.
- 1:26:37Speaker 1: Yeah, close to 20 years. You know, there are no
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: term limits there. The other thing is Gadi, his adversary,
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: is very close to his positions, except he's saying, yeah,
- 1:26:46Speaker 1: we'll bomb Iran, but only that nuclear site. And we
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: want to work with Trump on keeping up the economic pressure,
- 1:26:53Speaker 1: but not blanket bombing of Iran. It's not all that
- 1:26:56Speaker 1: much The difference between the two.
- 1:26:59Speaker 2: No, not at all. But Trump is a big factor
- 1:27:01Speaker 2: in this because he's extremely popular. He's the most popular
- 1:27:05Speaker 2: politician in Israel right now, and he's backing Netanyahu. It's
- 1:27:09Speaker 2: going to be fascinating. We'll have more on that tomorrow.
- 1:27:12Speaker 2: We have been talking about Jersey drivers a lot today,
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: all morning. And the talkback of the morning and winner

- 1:27:27Speaker 2: who will win a C-Crane radio, is a resident of
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: New Jersey, and he has his own thoughts on the issue.
- 1:27:37Speaker 19: Frank from Jersey. I do everything I can to stay
- 1:27:41Speaker 19: off the roads. I don't even want to go out
- 1:27:44Speaker 19: of the house because of the driving situation.
- 1:27:46Speaker 2: In this state.
- 1:27:48Speaker 3: It's just, you're taking your life into your own hands.
- 1:27:51Speaker 2: Wow, that's a little extreme. I never thought it was
- 1:27:54Speaker 2: that bad, but he's a hermit because of it. Do
