  Speaker 1: Well, Larry, look who's back. It's our producer Natalie, who
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: had been gone for two days. And I must admit,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I couldn't have been more hopelessly wrong, I assume. Like some,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: not all.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Wait a second. You may not have been wrong. She
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: might be putting on an act.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: You mean in terms of being the no-show lottery winner
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey?
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, think about it. If somebody won... they would
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: continue to act normal. So you wouldn't know that they won.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Well, look, I thought it was a partnership. The board
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: operator Izzy for Mark Simone just happened to work at
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the Wegmans in Montvale where the winning ticket was sold.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: No doubt a partnership between Natalie, who wasn't going to
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: schlep all the way there, but probably figured, hey, that's
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: a high-end district. I'll get a ticket there because New Jersey,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: there's always the luck of the Irish in New Jersey
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: and these lottos. Could have been a partnership.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Have you ever been to the Wegmans in Montville?
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: That's a yes. The hesitation is a yes.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I don't live far. Oh, really?
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: And Wegmans is great, isn't it? It's a great supermarket. See,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: there you go.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Lots of salad, lots of fruits and vegetables that you
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: love because she has to have her salad first. Remember,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: you've indicted yourself on this.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: What car did you drive in with today? Do you
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: have a new car?
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: No, I have a new phone though.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, first step.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: I am still in my old Honda.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: And what would be your dream car if you could
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: buy a car in the next week?
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Anything but my old car. So you do know, though, that, Natalie,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: while you were away those two days.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: I've heard, I've heard, I've heard.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: There were certain people who were contacting me and were saying,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: this makes all the sense in the world.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: I am going to tell you the truth. If I
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: won that lottery.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: I would not be here.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, Larry, that's hurtful.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: I would leave you a nice text. Maybe I'd call.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Maybe I'd even give you the first interview. But I
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: wouldn't be waking up to come to work.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: At 3 o'clock in the morning.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: You notice through all the things that she said she
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: would do, there was nothing about money in that?
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: Oh, sure, sure, sure, sure.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, you'd share?
• 2:31
  Speaker 7: A little, yeah.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: I have a lot of people to share.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: With Christmas coming up, you could have been Santa Claus
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: to all of us. Yes, I could have.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: But I am not, so we can move on from that.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Well, wait a second. Larry, give us the update, because
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: apparently if, in fact, you're not the winner, Natalie, with Izzy,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: who works at the Wegmans there in Montfield, where the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: winning ticket was sold, if you're not, there's somebody out
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: there who is. And is there a chance, Larry, because
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: you're our lotto expert, our Powerball expert, that this person
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: may never surface, might have bought a ticket, it was
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: only one, And not even know they had it or
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: maybe discarded it in the garbage?
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: That has never happened with a big jackpot. But it's happened.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: It happens a lot. There are people that have won
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: $ 100, 000 that didn't come forward. And you have one year.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: You have one year to come forward or you lose
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the prize. But no, this person hasn't come forward yet.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, if I won, the first two
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: people I'd see would be an attorney and a financial advisor.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, for sure. But you know what?
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Let's go back to Izzy.
• 3:41
  Speaker 8: A lot of people might not know Izzy because he's
• 3:44
  Speaker 8: a behind-the-scenes guy here at WOR. But I will tell you,
• 3:47
  Speaker 8: Izzy would be the person who would win, who would
• 3:50
  Speaker 8: keep coming to work. You wouldn't know because he comes
• 3:54
  Speaker 8: home with a smile every day.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: And he would quietly... probably help people out in the world.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Have you ever seen Izzy's Facebook?
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, Izzy is the most incredible person. And if he's public,
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: you should follow Izzy.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: He's very religious, and he gives these inspirational sermons on
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: his Facebook page.
• 4:14
  Speaker 8: He's the kind of person that makes you feel like
• 4:16
  Speaker 8: you're a bad person somehow.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: He's so good.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: When I was at WABC, when you were there, I
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: was doing the weekends, and every once in a while
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: when things would get really bad I'd ask Izzy, please,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: just cheer us up. Give us something inspirational. And he
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: would always start with brothers and sisters.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: He's a holy roller.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: But anyway, apparently that has not happened. What was the
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: winning prize again, Larry? How much money was on that ticket?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, man, off the top of my head.
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: It was in the 800s, and I think they were
• 4:48
  Speaker 8: coming home with somewhere around $ 365 million cash.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: That's crazy.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Pretty much on the money there, like you knew the
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: figures off the top of your head.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: You're the expert, and yet Natalie seemed to know the specificity. No, no,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: don't talk about Izzy. Let's talk about you. I'm deflecting, deflecting.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: This is camouflage. Camouflage, you're coming in here trying to
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: throw us off.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: That's true. So what will be the number on the
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: check again? When I see it, I'll let you know.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: By then, Natalie and her family would have moved to
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the west coast of Florida to be near your parents,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: your father, who's now mayor.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: No, he was. He was the first mayor of Acero, Florida,
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: now retired.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: See? You see what I'm talking about, Larry?
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: And would have this short window where she wouldn't change
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: her phone number, where we would call and we'd get this. Hello? Hi, Natalie,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: it's Larry.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Hello?
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Hello? You know what?
• 5:52
  Speaker 8: I'd probably keep my phone number as a You know, distraction, deflection,
• 5:56
  Speaker 8: and then have a separate phone number.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: You know, you seem to plan a lot of this out.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: You would be having brunch every day with John Gambling,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: retired from here, who you were a producer to for
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: so many years. He went down to Florida. I don't know.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying that area, big WOR listenership.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Really big.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: So somebody out there could be it.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Anyway, let me flip the script to you, Larry. I
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: know you had gone through a Herculean period of broadcasting
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: here from the pre-marathon, the marathon, the post-marathon to the pre-midterms,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: midterm reporting on the night of the debacle. I'll use
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: debacle if that's okay with you. And then obviously everything thereafter.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: And we went through a period in which on Fridays,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: And by the way, you need to do a wellness
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: call if you can, Natalie, now that you're back to
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: our very dear colleague, Astorino. Oh, I heard.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Did you hear him on the air?
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: He was so depressed. He was. Yeah, he's one of
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: the people that you would think we should send somebody
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: over to check on him.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: He described the loss, the midterm loss for the Republicans
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: as apocalyptic. I thought for sure he was on his
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: way to the George Washington Bridge.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: And I kept looking for him to raise me up,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: you know, to say, you know, pull me out of
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: these doldrums.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Like, it's going to be OK.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: He was like in a deep darkness.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: He was.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Please just double check with him, Natalie. Then there was
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: DeSantis right out of the box. You know, he's running
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: for president. He called it an extinctionary moment, like as
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: if the GOP would be extinct. Others over the weekend
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: were saying it's like a media strike hit the GOP
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: across the nation.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: The hyperbole is so sickening. And what's the worst part
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: about it is that there are Republicans, as you mentioned,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: that are saying these things. And now with Rob... I
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: believe that he actually loses some money on this. So
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I can understand why Rob is so upset. With DeSantis,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: he benefits from making it horrible. I mean, now he
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: is the savior that can come through the apocalypse and
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: save the Republican Party.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: You would have to admit, Larry... That even though a
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: month ago I said it would be a blue tsunami,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and that was the front page of the Post the
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: day after the election, that that's actually mild compared to
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: apocalyptic and an extinction and a meteor strike.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, it's not even the worst... midterm defeat. It's
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: far from the worst midterm defeat. This has happened to
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: almost every president in the modern era. And so for
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: all of the sudden, for everybody to say, oh, this
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: is the biggest one ever. This is the earth moved.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: You know, it kind of sickens me because I think that,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: of course, the media was going to. But even some
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Republicans have fallen into the trap of saying, oh, it's
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: a tsunami. It's the worst ever. This is earth-shaking. Please,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: it's nowhere near any of those things.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I must tell you, Larry, I had confided to Tom Cuddy,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: our program director, weeks ago that I was not listening
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: to talk radio or even the snippets of talk TV
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: any longer because, you know, it was an echo chamber.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: And I knew what was coming. I can't listen to
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: that propaganda machine. For me, this weekend was Liberation Day.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I love talk radio. I love talk TV. I saw
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: that some of these people were no longer genuflecting to Trump.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: You know, they didn't feel the need to say he
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: is the greatest president of all time, from Washington to
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: right now. Even you, Larry, to your credit, you said, no, no, no.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: He's not the greatest president of all time. I can
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: listen to talk radio and talk TV again. We can
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: get back to some normalcy. A little bit of dysfunction.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: But now.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Normalcy. It's going to be the furthest thing from normalcy.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Well, in talk radio and talk TV, because now they
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: can be totally... focused instead of defending the indefensible at times,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: just attacking. Hakeem Jeffries, the schmuck to putz, Chuck E.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Cheese Schumer, and the new majority. I feel liberated. And
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the other thing I feel liberated is I am a rhino.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Everybody knows I am the leader of the rhinos. They
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: call me Republican in name only. I've never been MAGA.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I'm free to be a rhino again. And so is
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: everybody else out there who pretended that they weren't. Because
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: just like the Democrats have a two-party system under the tent,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: moderate Democrats, DSA, Republicans should have MAGA and should have rhinos.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: No, I think you're misinterpreting what they mean when they
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: say rhino. What? They mean you're actually a Democrat. They
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: don't mean that you're a Republican in any way. That
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: you're a Republican in name only because you were so
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: much against the Republican Party. but you like to hold
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: on to the name.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Well, we know DSA are really just socialists, so there's
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: room in the Republican Party for rhinos, and I declare
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: myself the leader of the rhinos.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: I'm so glad you're embracing it finally. Hey, guess what?
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: There's a new golf league. I know you're saying, oh,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: they've tried this before. This one's a little bit different.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: We'll explain when we come back. Plus, you have a
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: chance to see Tommy James and the Shondells at 825. Now,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: let's talk about LifeVac. Everybody else is. I mean, go
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: to Google. Just Google LifeVac. You'll see case after case
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: after case where LifeVac has saved a life just in
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: the last few months. There's been about a dozen of them.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: And every single time, it's a child. I've spent a
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: career covering this stuff, and it's heartbreaking when it's a child.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: And so choking is one of those incidents that can
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: turn into an emergency so quickly, and when it does,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: seconds matter. That's why I want to tell you about LifeVac.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: LifeVac is the first and only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: that can be used for second-line treatment when all the
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: recommended choking protocols, when you've tried everything else, they've been
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: followed without success. And here's what's remarkable. We're talking about
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: 7,000 lives worldwide that have been saved. Real people, real families,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: real second chances. Preparedness matters. Having the right tool nearby
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: can make all the difference in the world. So learn
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: more about LifeVac today at LifeVac.net. That's LifeVac.net. Visit LifeVac.net
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: and see how you can be ready when it counts.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: So let's be honest about the sport of golf.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Truly a rich person's sport. That's safe to say. The
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: price of entry is expensive. I mean, there's been some exceptions,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: but usually those people are sponsored or they have somebody
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: that pays for their entry fees and pays for them
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: to practice. But for the most part, it's white and
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: it is rich. So there's really interesting, a new league
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: being formed by, it's originally by the LGPA. It's some
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: of the people that have played golf for a long time,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: including the great Michelle Wee. And they had their first
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: match this weekend. And let me explain what they're doing.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: They're trying to break down golf barriers by making it
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: more accessible. And they're going to play all of their
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: matches indoors virtually. So, you know, if you ever go
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: out and you see the big screen and you hit
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: the ball into the big screen and it shows you
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: how long it was and how close it was, it's
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: all computer generated. But there's human beings that hit the ball.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: That's what they're going to do. And they want to
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: start a new golf league. They had their first match
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: this weekend. It was against the Los Angeles Club versus
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: the New York Club. And the Los Angeles club won
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: three to one. They play a total of the best
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: of five matches. Whoever gets three first wins and people
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: can watch it. So it's accessible now. You don't have
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: to pay the exorbitant fees to go to a club
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: and watch it. You don't have to be kept back
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: because you're not somebody, you don't have the right name.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Everybody can join in this. Everybody can watch it. Here's
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Michelle Wee.
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: I love traditional green grass golf. Obviously I've made my
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: career there. But let's be real, the barriers of entry
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: are still pretty high when it comes to traditional golf.
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: And I love that simulator golf kind of really widens
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: our view of golf. And it's easier to get to.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: So you could just go to a club.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: So these are simulators. Yes. You know, like you'll pay
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: to go play a simulated game of golf far more
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: cheaper than you would if you had to go to
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: a private, you know, country club in order to. Do
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: your nine holes or 18 holes.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: And a lot less walking. You can still be fat
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: and play. You know, it's a little bit more fun.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Now, can you gamble on this?
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sure it's going to happen. If it grows,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: it can happen.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I noticed the Saudis who had set up their own
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: league to compete with the PGA, that completely collapsed. So
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: this is a good alternative. If you're no longer good
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: enough to be on the major links— You can still
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: be a player in simulation. But what if you're so
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: good in simulation? Let's just say that there's a young
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: black kid in Harlem that wants to play and he
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: goes to a club and it doesn't cost that much
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: and he finds out he's really good at it.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Is that then his entry to regular golf? Hmm.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: It sounds like a Lee Trevino story. Well, we'll see.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's a good thing. I think
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: it's wonderful that it's accessible and that everybody can play.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: And it's going to be fascinating to see if this
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: takes off. Right now, it's just women, but I'm sure
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: it's going to be men, too. And then we'll see
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: what happens from there, how many people get involved.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: You know, we need cemetery space, so maybe we can
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: pave over some of these golf courses and provide the
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: cemetery space that people need. Oh, no.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: The rich people need to play golf.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Hey, they can play simulated golf.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Let's get some talkbacks.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Curtis, I got to admit, you're always right.
• 16:28
  Speaker 9: And I also would like to say in the second
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: Trump term, in the first four months, I thought he
• 16:35
  Speaker 9: was the greatest thing ever since sliced bread. I thought
• 16:38
  Speaker 9: he was going down with Reagan in Washington. But you
• 16:41
  Speaker 9: kept to your guns and said, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: He's a politician. Don't trust.
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: Don't trust.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Curtis, as always, you were right. Congratulations. You won me over. Please,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: no ideology.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Well, that was sickening.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I was wrong about Natalie being the lottery winner. I've
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: been on a roll on a lot of things.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: You don't know if you've been wrong.
• 17:02
  Speaker 10: You don't know.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow. Man, wow. Who was that? Is that somebody
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: in your organization? Is that another guardian angel that called in?
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: No, he's giving me props because I've been focused and
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I've been warning.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: I don't trust any politicians, any of them. You've been
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: wrong about a lot of things. You were right about
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: this election. I will give you props for that. You
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: were right on this election.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: And later on, I'm going to tell you how I
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: was right about the Jewish vote. Oh, they're going to
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: vote Republican.
• 17:33
  Speaker 11: Not.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about that later.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Now let's get to the news at 6.30 with Daria Albinger.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Daria.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Morning, guys.
• 17:40
  Speaker 12: Chance for a shower with a high of 57 degrees.
• 17:43
  Speaker 12: A Middlesex County township is reporting a major ripoff. Cranberry
• 17:48
  Speaker 12: Township's mayor says someone stole a wire transfer for $ 26, 000,
• 17:52
  Speaker 12: which was intended for affordable housing. It happened back in September.
• 17:57
  Speaker 12: A judge is ordering the Mamdani administration to hand over
• 18:00
  Speaker 12: the names of certain residents in a Bronx homeless shelter
• 18:03
  Speaker 12: to ICE.
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: The ruling from U.S. District Judge Louis Kaplan said that
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: federal immigration authorities have a right to know the identifying
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: information despite the city's claims that it would violate their
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: sanctuary policies. ICE initially requested the names of everyone living
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: at the Bruckner shelter in Mott Haven. However, the agency
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: then moved to appoint a special advisor to target individuals
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: for deportation that have lengthy criminal records. It is unclear
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: if the city plans to appeal. I'm Lizzie Radabali, WOR News.
• 18:32
  Speaker 12: Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massey could introduce articles of impeachment against
• 18:36
  Speaker 12: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as early as this week, and
• 18:39
  Speaker 12: President Trump says that would be a mistake.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's guilty of two things, basically winning two wars.
• 18:45
  Speaker 13: And the second war, we knocked out their nuclear capacity
• 18:48
  Speaker 13: and probably saved Israel and probably saved the Middle East.
• 18:52
  Speaker 12: But others say the Pentagon chief abused his power and
• 18:54
  Speaker 12: undermined national security. Charlie Kirk's widow is condemning comedian Dave
• 18:58
  Speaker 12: Chappelle for joking about her husband's killing. He reportedly made
• 19:03
  Speaker 12: the remarks during a performance Friday at Madison Square Garden,
• 19:05
  Speaker 12: saying that he felt better after Kirk was shot and
• 19:08
  Speaker 12: killed last year. Erica Kirk responded on social media that
• 19:11
  Speaker 12: political violence should never be celebrated or treated as a punchline.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: And the U.S.
• 19:15
  Speaker 12: Could lose its measles elimination status. A panel advising a U.N.
• 19:20
  Speaker 12: health agency is looking into recent cases and a decline
• 19:23
  Speaker 12: in vaccination rates. under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
• 19:28
  Speaker 12: Giants and Devils win, Jets and Nets lose. Next news,
• 19:31
  Speaker 12: 7 o'clock bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710 WOR.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: The counts for victory in the election process continued in M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I, Mississippi,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: and Alaska. We'll give you the snail-like updates up next.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: What an amazing mess the Alaska Senate election is.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: So you still have, here's the results so far. And
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: there's something amazing that happened in this that I would
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: love somebody to explain to me. So Mary Peltola, the Democrat,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: is taking on Dan S. Sullivan, and the S is
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: important because there's another Dan Sullivan running. Dan S. Sullivan
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: is the incumbent Republican senator. Mary Peltola was a congressperson,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: the only congressperson in Alaska, and she is running for
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: the Democratic Party. Right now, this is the vote. 102,962
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: for Mary Peltola. 102,325 for Sullivan. So we're talking about
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: 652 votes, or 57 votes. And there's a lot of
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: votes still out there. Let me tell you how many
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: votes are still out there. We've been telling you all along,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: and this has been almost every single day since the
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: counting started, We've been telling you every day it's 75%
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: of the vote in. Curtis, maybe you can explain this
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: to me. Now it's 74% of the vote in.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm not an expert on Alaska. In fact, it's
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: one of the few places in the United States I
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: haven't actually been to. But there was that guy you
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: found who was able to explain to us. Why things
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: move so slow and sometimes it's one step forward and
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: two steps backwards.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: This is Eric Croft, who is with the he's a
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Democrat with the Alaskan Election Board that's counting votes.
• 21:44
  Speaker 14: We're still counting up here. We take a kind of
• 21:47
  Speaker 14: different approach. We treat this process more like sex. Finishing
• 21:52
  Speaker 14: first and early is not the main goal. We prefer
• 21:56
  Speaker 14: to take it slow, kind of do it right. And
• 21:59
  Speaker 14: hopefully at the end, everybody involved is satisfied.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: They will not be rushed. Alaska, they don't care what
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: we think. They think of themselves as a whole other country.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: I don't care how you do it on the mainland.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: This is the way we do it up here.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I would tell you, not knowing who this gentleman is,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: he smokes a lot of weed at night. I mean,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: was anybody more laid back? Take it slow. Take it nice.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Who cares? Eventually, somebody's going to win. Is that eventually?
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Let me give a date certain.
• 22:36
  Speaker 15: Yes.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: November 25th.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: OK.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Is when the vote.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: The day after Thanksgiving Day. The day after they break
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: the wishbone and determine the winner.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Now, let's let's talk about something else. Nobody's probably going
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: to get 50 percent of the vote.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: And they made it that way. The Democrats, if you
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: believe in the scheme that The New York Times uncovered.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: and everybody believes in it because they had 12 sources,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: of course it happened, that Mary Peltola and the Democrats
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: went out and found another Dan Sullivan, Daniel J.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Sullivan.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: He's got well over 3,000 votes. So if it goes
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: to ranked choice voting, because they don't get 50%, you
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: would assume, and we heard an Alaskan voter that purposely
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: voted for him, even though he was a Democrat, knowing
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: the vote would go to Peltola, then she wins because
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: of this scheme. Right now, the Justice Department has a lawsuit.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: The governor has an investigation. The House has an investigation.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: We may not know who the senator is from Alaska.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: until next year.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Well, remember, so that you can understand how ranked choice
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: voting works. So the fake Sullivan is last on the list.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: So all of the ranked choice votes that were made
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: by the fake Sullivan voters will be counted. Now, some
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: of them probably just voted for the fake Sullivan, so
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: there's nothing to throw to either of the other three.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: But a lot of them did vote for Peltola. They
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: actually told some of the pollsters who were outside that Say, yeah, yeah,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: my number second choice was Peltola. So she benefits from that.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: But Trump went off. He declared the Senate race over Sullivan,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the real Sullivan. The Senate is the winner. And he
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: also described the other Republican who's in a hanky. Whatever
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: the hell his name is, because there are technically two Republicans,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: one independent and a Democrat. And he says they're both
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: fraudulently in the race. But guess what, Mr. President? Doesn't matter.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: They're going to do it nice and slow and easy.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Like sex.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Like sex. It is incredible that it could get down to,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: you know what we always do at the Thanksgiving Day
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: dinner table? When you have a dispute with somebody, you say,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: let's grab the wishbone. And then you pull the wishbone.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: And whoever gets the wishbone right, they're the winner. Could be.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: It's going to be held up in court for some time.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: And the whole story is just absolutely fascinating.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: By the way, Kash Patel has summoned the FBI to
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: try to find the fake Sullivan who's living in that
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: fishing village that cannot be reached any other way than
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: by plane or boat. It's near the Aleutian Islands. We
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: haven't heard anything as to whether they found the guy yet.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: He may be in the Democratic Witness Protection Program.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: The interesting thing is that every once in a while
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: he calls a newspaper.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Like in Anchorage and is interviewed by them. And he
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: denies the whole thing, by the way. He denies that
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: he got any payment. He denies that. Democrats came and
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: talked to him. So he could be in some trouble.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: You see, that's the key to this. Everybody's saying, well,
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: you should get locked up.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: If they can prove after exhaustive investigation, they put all
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: these subpoenas out. Part of it is to sweat people down,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: including him. if he received any kind of a gratuity,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: if he got sweetened up, if he was an all-paid
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: vacation to Cancun or he got money, that's a felony.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: He'll obviously cop a plea, and then he'll point the
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: fingers to whether Schumer at the national level or Peltola
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: at the Alaska Democratic Party level. That's a felony crime.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and there will be. There's an investigation right now.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, the FBI is up there
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: right now, so... Uh, it's going to be, it is
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: going to be fascinating, but the idea that this could be,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: this could determine whether Schumer stays on his speaker. Yes.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, he can. But meantime, let me flip the script.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Remember how I've been warning people about the importance of
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: filling out an affidavit. Now, let me just, uh, sort
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: of go back on that. A lot of times you
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: go into your local polling locations. And they can't find
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: your name in the election district or maybe you changed
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: your address and it didn't get into the computer and
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: you get all upset. And in a huff and a puff,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: you leave without taking the option of filling out what
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: is available to everybody, an affidavit ballot. Now, many times
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: you think, what a waste of time. This is just
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: here to placate me, calm me down. Hey, I'm not
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: getting a vote. Let's look to Mississippi. Remember how I
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: told you how important the affidavit votes are? There is
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: 2,500 votes now separating the Democratic challenger from the Republican U.S. Senator.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: There are 20,000 affidavit ballots still to be counted by
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: the election committee, which does it by hand, meaning slow.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: So if you happen to show up at a polling
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: location in Mississippi and you didn't have your ID, you
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: know how Democrats, you know, sometimes you forget your ID. Well, well,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: they they they find you. They tell you you got
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: five days to come back to your clerk, show the ID,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: and your ballot is cured. There are those that voted
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: in the wrong ED. They went to the wrong spot.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: They didn't know that it was changed. You get to
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: cure that. Or you moved without changing your address. You
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: get to cure that. 20,000 affidavit ballots. Imagine. Imagine. And
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: there's only 2,500 now that separate the potential winner from
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: the loser. And there are still 19 House seats across
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: the United States, Larry, that are too close to call,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: which could come down to, yes, the affidavit ballot. So,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, I know it's very frustrating. It's happened
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: to me. It's happened to me, right? You go into
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: your polling location, if that's how you vote, and then
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: if things go awry, fill out the affidavit ballot. In
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: a very close race, it could determine who wins and
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: who loses, and your vote then will count.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: The thing I want to know, does Cindy Hyde-Smith actually exist?
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: We never see her. We never hear from her. She
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: really hasn't. She didn't. She refused all debates. She didn't
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: campaign that much. And now she's not doing interviews. Scott,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: call him. You see everywhere. The Democrat that is running.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: You see him everywhere. He's being interviewed. He's demanding that
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: they oversee the count. Cindy Hyde-Smith, nothing. Nothing.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, iHeartRadio wants you
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: to know about an exciting game on Monday Night Football
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: this week. The Buffalo Bills take on the Minnesota Vikings
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: in a battle of one-loss teams. Monday Night Football, live
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: from Minneapolis. 8 15 tonight only on espn up next
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: what is this the cranberry sauce scam No, no. That
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: would be a horror before Thanksgiving and Christmas. Larry's going
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: to break this down with Natalie. Cranberry, New Jersey just acknowledged, hey,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: we lost $ 26 million. Why didn't you tell your constituents
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: before the election?
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Up next.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: A scandal.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Political scandal in the small town of Cranberry, New Jersey.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: That is in Middlesex County. It's got a population of
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: about 14,000 people. They have a town council of five,
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: and they have a mayor. And they had re-election recently,
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: and the mayor won re-election. And council, which used to
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: be split three-two, three Democrats, two Republicans, is now all Democrats.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: They swept the board in Cranberry, New Jersey. But it
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: turns out those same Democrats that were in charge of
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: the municipality just lost $ 26 million the week before.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: What?
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: $ 26 million on September 28th in a wire transfer. Now,
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: I will say, when they realized what was going on,
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: they transfer it, they froze $ 17. 3 million of it. But
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: all the rest is still unaccounted for. And they said nothing, nothing.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: They hid this until after the election when Mayor Nehru
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: came out on behalf of the township committee and said this,
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: we recognize the news of this magnitude will understandably raise
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: questions and concerns among our residents. Those concerns are legitimate,
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: and we take them seriously now. We take them seriously now.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: We didn't take those concerns seriously the week before, but
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: now we are taking them very seriously. So a task
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: force involving local, county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: is investigating the theft and working to recover the funds.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: All that doesn't matter whatsoever. If they find the funds,
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: if there's an investigation, if people get arrested, that's great.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: That's wonderful. That doesn't change the fact that they hid
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: this story. They hid this news. They didn't alert the
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: public until after the election. That's what should be investigated
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: and or they should hold another election.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: That's why these local municipalities, towns, villages, they have the
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: old town hall meetings. It's mandatory. It's built into their
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: rules and regulations. You know, they're Robert Rules of Order.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: And the gadflies show up. And the politicians hate the
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: gadflies and the people who do their due diligence and
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: research and hammer them at these meetings. I'm sure, Natalie,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: you are used to this also, right? Probably in your
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: town in New Jersey where the politicians, both sides, hate
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: that these people show up all the time and force
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: them to address things that are either rumors or real.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: The cockiest people are the people in the small towns
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: because they have complete control. I've covered them time and
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: time and time again. They don't care who you are.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: They don't care that you come from the network. They
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: don't care what you think you deserve. They keep things
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: to themselves.
• 33:17
  Speaker 8: $ 26 million missing.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: What did you say the budget of this town was?
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: $ 16 million.
• 33:25
  Speaker 7: Oh, my gosh.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: The budget is $ 16 million, but they bring in, I think,
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: $ 32 million a year in revenue. So they were spending
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: some money they really didn't have to spend. So even,
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: let's just say they have a $ 16 million budget. Let's
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: just say it ends up they lose $ 7 million. You know,
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: that's a big chunk of money. of their overall budget
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: they're going to lose. Now listen to this too. There
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: is a criminal investigation taking place right now. It remains active.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: By the way, the criminal investigation started before the election
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: and the township still says it can't share any additional details.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, come on. That's nonsense. Now, by the way, it
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: was bifurcated at that point. This election was part of
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: that blue tsunami. Now it's all Democrats. That's why you
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: can't have a uniparty system, a one-party system. But what
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: were the two Republicans asleep at the wheel? You know
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: how these small towns are. Everybody knows everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: They're all a bunch of yenters. They're like washwomen. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: What were these two? See no evil, hear no evil,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: speak no evil, these Republicans who lost their re-election? How
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: come they didn't talk up?
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but we just got this announcement. The township.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: has outlined plans to strengthen financial and administrative oversight.
• 34:48
  Speaker 16: Oh, good.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, there you go. Now everything's okay.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: You know, Larry, as a sign of the times, why
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: don't they just blame a hack on the North Koreans, right?
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Like Binance just lost $ 6 billion. You know, the crime
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: coin operation, Bitcoin operation, they lost $ 6 billion to the
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: North Koreans. Why don't they just blame, oh, it's a
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: North Korean hat. It's somebody in that room.
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: How did they think they'd get away with $ 26 million?
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: About hiding it?
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: Yes, or taking it.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Well, they're the ones that announced it afterwards, which is bizarre.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, so what you're doing is you're admitting, I
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: know about this. You know, if I was going to
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: do something like this, if I was going to lie
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: about this, I'd go, what?
• 35:37
  Speaker 17: What?
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: That happened? Now, there's a real good chance because the
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Democrats were swept into office. The two Republicans lost. So
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: it's all Democrats there. I'll call it cranberry sauce because
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: this is like cranberry sauce. Do we really think the
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Democratic attorney general in New Jersey is going to go
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: really hard on this? You really think they want to
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: implicate their own? Normally, they find a way to make
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: it go away without implicating any of the key people involved.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: Well, this is pretty hard to hide. This one's difficult
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: to hide. By the way, the police chief, Giuseppe DeSera,
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: says he has kept the township committee informed of developments
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: in township employees' lives. have cooperated fully with law enforcement
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: since the investigation started. So he's covered his own butt. Hey, listen,
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: I told everybody. Don't blame me or the police investigation.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: I told everybody.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: You know how these small towns, these villages and municipalities are.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Everybody's related to one another through marriage, as you know.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Don't go stop. I'll bet you police chief Giuseppe is
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: related to some of these people.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Don't you remember?
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: It's a big city bias.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: They're all in Brits.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: They're all in Brits down there.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you a question and maybe our
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: listeners should talk back. Remember that famous Sylvester Stallone movie
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: about all the small towns in Bergen County? And the
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: corruption there. Hopefully somebody will remember that. It shows you
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: how hopelessly corrupt they are.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: I'm so glad you went to that movie. I thought
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: you were going to go to Deliverance. That's what you
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: think of small towns.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, not quite that extreme. Anyway, up next,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: the president seemed to offer an olive branch. on his
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: 60 Minutes interview that aired last night that was filmed
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: on Friday, but a little glitch after the 7 o'clock news.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Well, Donald Trump, as you may know, was on 60
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Minutes last night and made a little bit of news.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: This is the new 60 Minutes, by the way. This
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: is the new 60 Minutes that's been taken over by conservatives.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: And so it's really fascinating as you watch it because
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: it seems to me that it is much more fair-balanced.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: You don't feel or hear an agenda whatsoever. So all
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: the fears that 60 Minutes would change in 60 Minutes,
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: I actually think, I don't know if you saw the
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: interview last night, but I actually think that it is
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: a whole lot better than it was before. And that
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: is completely objectively true. He's went through a lot of topics,
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: including his own personal wealth. And because according to the Democrats,
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: there is going to be an investigation into the fact
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: that he made so much money. And Ross Douthat, who
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: is a former New York Times columnist and it is
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: an excellent interviewer, one of the best hires they made
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: at 60 Minutes, asked him about that.
• 38:43
  Speaker 13: I devote almost no time to my net worth.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: I don't care.
• 38:46
  Speaker 13: I have a lot of money. And far more than
• 38:49
  Speaker 13: I ever thought I'd have. And I guess it's gone up.
• 38:53
  Speaker 13: I don't even know. I have a son who's a
• 38:56
  Speaker 13: very straight, good guy. He watches over money.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: I don't even talk to him about it.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: He watches.
• 39:03
  Speaker 13: He gives, they gave my money. I have a lot
• 39:05
  Speaker 13: of cash. I've had a lot of cash long before
• 39:07
  Speaker 13: I came in here.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: I don't take a salary.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't think he meant to, but he certainly
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: just sent his son under the bus.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Well, you know why also? There's a lot of Republicans
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: based on J.D. Vance who are now they are calling
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: him J.D. Pence who are blaming Donald Trump Jr. for
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: that selection. along with Tucker Carlson. So I'll get into
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: that moment. For that selection.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: We'll explain the selection you're talking about.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: J.D. Vance as the vice president. They're now calling him J.D. Pence,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: like Vice President Pence. But the thing is, I would
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: not go after Donald Trump. I would suggest to the Democrats,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: don't try to impeach him. Don't try to go after him.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: But his family that is controlling the investments with this
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Bitcoin crime coin, these minerals that they've made partnerships with
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: other countries and a lot of other financial deals, I
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: say they're all subject to being questioned by committees.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Well, the Democrats also want to do this as a
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: quid pro quo because they do not like the way
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Hunter Biden was treated. And they thought that was out
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: of bounds. So they said it at the time, if
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: you remember. They said it at the time. If you're
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: going to do this, you open up a whole new
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: door for future investigations. And now they're coming through with that.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: They also, in the interview last night, talked about how
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Trump could work with Democrats.
• 40:33
  Speaker 18: Do you think you could work with the Democrats without
• 40:36
  Speaker 18: insulting them consistently?
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I could.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: You think so? I also could.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: I also call many of them Democrats.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: You did that just the other day.
• 40:44
  Speaker 19: If it took six months of not insulting the Democrats
• 40:47
  Speaker 19: to get a deal done, do you think you could
• 40:48
  Speaker 19: do it?
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: Very easily. Oh, that ain't going to happen. First off,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: this interview was filmed on Friday, I guess midday. This
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: is before he announced that he has his wartime consigliere
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: now who replaced his peacetime consigliere, Susie Wiles. who is
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: the chief of staff. That is a signal the war
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: is on. And already the Democrats have responded. We're not dealing.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: We're not dealing with your choice of Stephen Miller. So
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: it's a nice idea. Larry, I had offered the ultimate
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: way he could have bridged the gap in this last
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: like month and a half before there's a changeover on
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: the question of those young men and young women who
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: are no longer young any longer, who are middle-aged, You know,
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: who are the dreamers? He was so close in that
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: first four years. He had Schumer on board. He had
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Pelosi on board. Something went awry. He could have revisited
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: that with Hakeem, with Schumer, who needs something. And I'm
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: sure the Republicans would have gone along with it by saying, oh,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: here's something that should have been done. But I don't
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: think that's happening with Stephen Miller.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: Ironically, the guy who's going to be leading the investigations
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: in the House, Robert Garcia, is a dreamer. And so
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: it's going to be really fascinating to see what he's
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: going to do. He's the one that told them all
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: to lawyer up. And he's going after them with a vengeance.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: We'll see what he starts with, whether it's good. He
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: mentioned the Trump family, that he's going to go after
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: the Trump family. But he also said something that I
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: think that would make America feel very good across the board.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: And he said he was going to go against Democrats
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: and Republicans and go after the Epstein case. Really, really
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: bring it out. And if there was anything hidden, he
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: wants to see it. If there were people that weren't
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: called for political reasons, he wants to call them. That
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: would be a huge move.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's going to have to condemn the Biden's
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: administration for not revealing anything. Whereas at least the Trump
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: administration has unveiled most of what was in the Epstein files.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: By the way, there's already a dirty campaign against Garcia
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: who happens to be a gay man. in a relationship. So,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: you know, I told you politics is the dirtiest business
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: of all. These people haven't even changed over yet and
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: they're already shooting shots at one another.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the funny thing about Garcia is, and I don't
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: remember anybody that came into office that said this, he said,
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: because he was asked specifically, about civilians. You know, you
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: have oversight. You were supposed to have oversight over people here.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: He said, no, I think I have oversight over the country.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: And so he's willing to go after anybody in the country. Look,
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: he's feeling himself. He really knows this is a big
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: moment for him. He's going to be one of the
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: stars of the Republican Party, villains of the Republican Party,
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: and stars of the Democratic Party. So his face and
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: his name get used to it, is going to be everywhere.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Well, hopefully it's with a smile. Because Raskin, who can't
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: wait to go after anybody Trump, related to Trump, even
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: when he was recovering from brain cancer, you may have
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: remembered in the first four-year term of the Trump administration,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: he was diagnosed with brain cancer. He had had operations.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: He had to wear a schmata on his head, you know,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: like a big handkerchief like bikers will wear because of
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: the work that had been done. I never saw a
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: guy who was more dystopian and angry and vicious. Yo, man,
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: lighten up.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: He's going to be chair of the Judiciary Committee. So
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: they have a wider range than the Oversight Committee. And
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: so the two of them together are going to be
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: kind of sickening. Now, Speaker of the House. Who is
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: it going to be Speaker of the House? It's going
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: to be Jeffries, probably, because I don't think, even though
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: they would like to vote him out, they're not going
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: to stop the first black Speaker of the House.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: It's just not going to happen. No, and even though
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: he's very pro-Israel, very pro-APAC, all the things that the
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: progressives hate, you're right. If they are going to target anyone,
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about it later, it's the schmuck to punch
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Chuck E. Cheese Schumer. If nothing more, it's like, you
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: ever hear something called term limits, Chuck? But no, no,
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: they're not going to touch Hakeem. And Hakeem made them
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: feel so good because after the appointment of Stephen Miller,
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: who takes his position today as chief of staff at
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: the White House, he said, all deals are off. We're
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: not cooperating with Stephen Miller. That was like music to
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: the Democratic ears. And you have to have cooperation. Look,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: It wouldn't have been my choice. You know, we're going
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: to talk about that later on. I think that's going
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: to be hurtful. But he is the chief of staff.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: You serve at the leisure of the president of the
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: United States. And for the good of the country, there's
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: got to be some room to move. Yeah, we can
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: talk about it later. I really think they're going to
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: play good cop, bad cop. If he's out there in public, remember,
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: we rarely ever saw Susie Wiles. So my feeling is
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: that it's traditional that the chief of staff, who is
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: considered the second most powerful person in government, the chief
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: of staff is seen but not heard. Rarely seen, even. Well,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: the only difference was, remember when Trump in the first administration,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: I love my generals. He had Kelly. And Kelly was
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: dropping diamonds. Kelly was giving it to him. I will
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: tell you this about Suzy Wiles. You're right. She was
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: a sphinx. Except that one time, one time only, she
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: must have really liked that guy at Vanity Fair. Remember,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: she gave him a full interview. And boy, if there
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: was bile in her, she let it go. She said, J.D. Vance,
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: he's filled with conspiracies. Hague says, no way. And she, oh,
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: went after Miss South Dakota there, you know, at the
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: time was head of Homeland Security. Oh, God, Kristi Noem. Boy,
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: she really let it fly. And people said, why would
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: she have sat for so many hours?
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: And she's the one in the administration. I think this
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: was her undoing. She's the one in the administration that
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: was pushing for him to get rid of Pete Hegseth.
• 47:17
  Speaker 18: Yes.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: And this was before the war.
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: She wanted to get rid of Pete Hegseth. Never liked
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: the nomination.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: Although, look, she lobbied for Marco Rubio, who the president
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: for a while there, you know, little Marco Rubio wasn't
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: his favorite. She lobbied for him. Good choice. Secretary of State.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: And the guy you like, the farmer from, what was it, Kentucky?
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: Scott Besson. Right. She lobbied for him. She actually lobbied
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: against some of his crazier choices. But remember, somebody's got
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: to take the knife in the back when you lose. Oh,
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: we're not done. It's not done. I think there's more
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: to come.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: One name we didn't add to all of that is
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: going to be the minority leader in the Senate. And
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: that's an extremely important choice because you need someone that's
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: going to speak out for your cause. You need a
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: pit bull. And it sounds like it's going to be
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: Jim Jordan, although Steve Scalise is well-known and well-liked, and
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: he's going to run against him. But if it's Jim Jordan,
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: watch out. It's going to be fun.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: What about in the Senate? Does Lurch continue to act
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: as the minority leader of the GOP Senate?
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. I like John Thune
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: a lot, and I hope he just steps away if
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: he feels a movement. But it seems like the senators
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: really like him. The Republican senators really like him. So
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: my feeling is unless Trump really puts the pedal to
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: the metal on him, John Thune's going to survive.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: He always reminds me of Lurch.
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: You rhyme.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: I know the guy rarely smiles, but I saw an
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: interview with him when he kept smiling the entire time through.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: Well, he always has a tan. You're from North Dakota
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: and you always have a tan? You ain't spending much
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: time in North Dakota, pal. When we come back, have
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: you always wanted to be an astronaut?
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: Well, NASA is accepting applications for their next mission, plus
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: a chance to see Tommy James and the Shondells. at 825.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: So have you ever dreamed of being an astronaut, of
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: going to the moon?
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: The only time is when I would watch the old
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: Jackie Gleason programs where he told his wife, Hey, I'm
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: going to hit you to the moon. I'm going to
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: give you one punch right to the moon, Alex.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: That's what inspired you? Not like Apollo 11 or no?
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: Well, we don't go to the moon anymore, so why
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: would I be inspired?
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: We're going.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: He doesn't believe anything's going to happen.
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sure.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: Nutella will get there before any astronauts.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: No, the astronauts are going to the moon regardless of what.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: Somebody said you're always right just a moment ago. That's amazing.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: And you're not believing we're going to the moon.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: No, I know Mars. Elon Musk says Mars.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: They're going to the moon.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: Whatever he says is what happens in America.
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: Moon's going to be first. But if you have a
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: dream of going to the moon and you believe it's
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: going to happen, you now have a chance. NASA is
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: accepting applications for anyone, anybody interested in being an astronaut.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: The candidates selected to be astronauts would not only test spacecraft,
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: but also live and work on the moon in a
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: future moon base. That's according to the administrator, Jared Isaacman. Now,
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: there are currently 32 active astronauts in NASA's astronaut corps.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: Since NASA began in the 1960s, 60 years ago, there
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: have only been 370 people trained as astronauts, according to NASA.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: If you remember the last time, they just did this
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: last year, and they asked for 8,000 people. How many
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: do you think were accepted out of the 8,000?
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: 28,000.
• 51:16
  Speaker 4: I think 10.
• 51:17
  Speaker 6: 10?
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: Well, you knew. Look at the smile.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: On your face.
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: I didn't, but I saw you starting to mouth 10
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: because I.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: Could read lips. Well, I can tell you this, Larry
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: and Natalie, your chance per capita per person, like for
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: the lottery, how many lottery winners have come from New Jersey,
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: a small state, 12 astronauts from New Jersey, starting with
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: Buzz Aldrin. Remember the second man to walk on the moon?
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: What was that? Way back in the early 70s, Glen Ridge.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: And the two brothers, the twins, you know who they were?
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: Mark Kelly and Scott Kelly. Mark Kelly went on to
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: become the U.S. Senator in Arizona and maybe a presidential candidate.
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: I used to work in San Diego, as you know,
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: and I used to see Buzz Aldrin quite often because
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: he was stationed out there and he would come into
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: the station and he would always give me patches. He's
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: a little scary. Buzz Aldrin's a scary, scary man. I mean,
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: he is. He's full of vim and vigor in America,
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: and he's right in your face all the time. By
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: the way, if you are really interested, they do require
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: that you have a master's degree in STEM or a
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: nursing certificate.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: That's interesting. Yeah, if you're lost in space, you need
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: a nurse up there. By the way.
• 52:36
  Speaker 8: I'm just disappointed because I thought Curtis could apply and
• 52:39
  Speaker 8: find out if Nutella really is a sponsor of space.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, they're probably going to have logos all over the
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: new astronaut uniform. You look so good in that. Never.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: I'm never going up there because I know they're going
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: to Mars long before they ever go to the moon.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: Just ask Elon Musk.
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: I wonder if the guy that says Curtis is always
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: right is listening because Nutella, they have no sponsors. They
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: don't have a sponsor.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: Let's get some talkbacks.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: You know, after the.
• 53:05
  Speaker 16: Midterm results, one has to wonder, what does the Republican
• 53:09
  Speaker 16: Party really stand for? What's their platform? You know, I
• 53:13
  Speaker 16: don't think most people can still make heads or tails
• 53:16
  Speaker 16: of the difference between Democrat and Republican.
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: It's crazy.
• 53:20
  Speaker 16: Because under these guys that we've got now, we're in for.
• 53:27
  Speaker 16: They're dying to do another riot of some sort. It's crazy.
• 53:31
  Speaker 16: What does the Republican Party stand for?
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: I don't think the riot's what you have to worry about.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: It's the higher taxes you have to worry about. It's
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: the fact that they want to make people who are
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: illegally all citizens. That was their plan all along. The
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: lack of interest in foreign policy whatsoever. There's a whole
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: lot of problems. There's huge differences. If you didn't see
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: the difference between the Biden White House and the Trump
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: White House, then I'm sorry you're lost on this issue.
• 54:02
  Speaker 15: Somebody who is a lifelong Republican and somebody who's actually
• 54:05
  Speaker 15: served in the Republican Party in different capacities over the years,
• 54:09
  Speaker 15: that term rhino is offensive and is wrong. MAGA and
• 54:13
  Speaker 15: Trump basically co-opted the Republican Party. He's no conservative. And
• 54:18
  Speaker 15: if you listened to him last night, the hubris and
• 54:21
  Speaker 15: the obnoxious way he talked about, oh yeah, maybe my
• 54:24
  Speaker 15: immigration policy went overboard. He killed the Republican Party for
• 54:27
  Speaker 15: a long period of time. We should all remember that.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: I've heard this after every landslide in the midterm. Oh,
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: they're done. Obama's done. Reagan is done.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: FDR.
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: FDR had a huge loss in the midterms. He's finished.
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: We'll see.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: I don't agree. It's not about Republicans. It's about MAGA.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: Because remember what Trump said, I am MAGA. MAGA is
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: the Republicans.
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: He said Trump is done.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: He said specifically Trump is done. He's done. He's going
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: to go play golf in Mar-a-Lago and still think he's
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: leader of the Republican Party. See, that's the problem for Republicans.
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: He's got to go retire, play golf, and leave it
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: to new leadership. It's a generational change.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: Why don't we let it play out instead of trying
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: to predict, because all the predictions are absolutely going to
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: be wrong at this point.
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: Well, so far, my predictions have been right, Larry.
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: You got one right, so does a broken clock. Now
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: let's get to Daria Albinger with the 7.30 news.
• 55:22
  Speaker 12: Morning, guys. Chance for a shower today. There's going to
• 55:24
  Speaker 12: be a high of 57 degrees. A fire in Hamilton
• 55:27
  Speaker 12: Heights leaves one person dead and another critically injured.
• 55:31
  Speaker 20: A call came in about 1.30 in the morning and
• 55:33
  Speaker 20: then fire officials say the blaze tore through a third
• 55:35
  Speaker 20: floor apartment on Riverside Drive. An 80-year-old man dead, a
• 55:39
  Speaker 20: 52-year-old woman sent to the hospital with very serious injuries.
• 55:43
  Speaker 20: More than a dozen people are now displaced. Firefighters say
• 55:46
  Speaker 20: they walked into an extremely cluttered apartment. The cause is
• 55:49
  Speaker 20: under investigation. I'm Scott Pringle, WORD News.
• 55:52
  Speaker 12: A New York City-fired Department of Education substitute school aide
• 55:56
  Speaker 12: is under arrest charged in the stabbing death of a
• 55:59
  Speaker 12: jogger in Brooklyn.
• 56:00
  Speaker 21: Syed Mahasib has been charged with the murder of 28-year-old
• 56:04
  Speaker 21: Katie Suarez. On October 30th, Suarez had been out jogging
• 56:07
  Speaker 21: when she was stabbed in the neck. She was found
• 56:10
  Speaker 21: crumpled on the path by her father and was rushed
• 56:12
  Speaker 21: to the hospital, placed on life support, and died three
• 56:15
  Speaker 21: days later. The Daily News reports cops tied Mahasib to
• 56:19
  Speaker 21: the crime scene, and when he was arrested, he said
• 56:21
  Speaker 21: he didn't remember the attack, but remembers waking up.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: Covered in blood.
• 56:25
  Speaker 21: Mahasib is a former NYPD cop, left for the Marines,
• 56:29
  Speaker 21: and was discharged for psychological issues, then hired as a
• 56:32
  Speaker 21: school aide. Lisa Salvati, WOR News.
• 56:35
  Speaker 12: President Trump is standing by his record. In an interview
• 56:37
  Speaker 12: with 60 Minutes, he blames his party's losses in the
• 56:40
  Speaker 12: midterms in part due to low Republican voter turnout and
• 56:43
  Speaker 12: the fact that he was not on the ballot. Cornell
• 56:46
  Speaker 12: University's faculty has approved a vote of no confidence in
• 56:49
  Speaker 12: the administration's handling of an alleged sexual assault at a
• 56:52
  Speaker 12: campus fraternity house. The vote is largely symbolic. And Tesla
• 56:56
  Speaker 12: is putting the brakes.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: On the Cybertruck.
• 56:58
  Speaker 12: It's ending production at its Austin, Texas plant next year.
• 57:02
  Speaker 12: CEO Elon Musk posting on X that it was the
• 57:04
  Speaker 12: best vehicle the company ever made. Giants and devils win.
• 57:08
  Speaker 12: Jets and Nets lose. Next news, 8 o'clock bulletins at once.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: What a sports weekend. No better time to have the
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: sportsmeister himself, Warner Wolf, up next. Well, belated happy birthday
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: to you, Warner Wolf. Congratulations.
• 57:29
  Speaker 5: Belated? No, it hasn't been here yet.
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at my calendar here.
• 57:37
  Speaker 5: Don't push me. Don't push me.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: Wednesday, right? Wednesday.
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 57:43
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm so old that my birthday comes on what
• 57:47
  Speaker 5: they call now Veterans Day. But it was originally Armistice
• 57:52
  Speaker 5: Day commemorating the end of World War I. And then
• 57:56
  Speaker 5: Eisenhower changed it in 1954. So all wars could be,
• 58:03
  Speaker 5: you know, honored all the veterans of all the wars.
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: Well, thank you. Thank you for preemptively reminding all of
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: us of that. But what about the war on the gridiron?
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: For the Giants.
• 58:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, you know, gosh, why don't they just show
• 58:18
  Speaker 5: us the last play of each game each week? They
• 58:21
  Speaker 5: go down to the wire every game. Certainly it was
• 58:24
  Speaker 5: not their finest hour. Just four field goals, one touchdown.
• 58:29
  Speaker 5: With a limping J.J. McCarthy and Jameis Winston, who may
• 58:33
  Speaker 5: be the best relief pitcher in football. But keep in
• 58:37
  Speaker 5: mind that the Giants are not playing Tom Brady anymore.
• 58:41
  Speaker 5: They faced Joe Milton III, who was a household name
• 58:46
  Speaker 5: only in his own household. But here's the question. The
• 58:51
  Speaker 5: trading deadline is 4 o'clock tomorrow. Will the Giants increase
• 58:56
  Speaker 5: their offer, which apparently they say they took off the table,
• 59:01
  Speaker 5: a second round and a fifth round pick to the
• 59:03
  Speaker 5: Colts for Jonathan Taylor? Apparently the Colts want more. But
• 59:08
  Speaker 5: if you think it will be giving up too much
• 59:11
  Speaker 5: remember the words of redskin coach george allen remember he
• 59:16
  Speaker 5: traded away all his future draft choices and said don't
• 59:20
  Speaker 5: worry about it the future is now and then one
• 59:23
  Speaker 5: year later went to the super bowl as far as
• 59:26
  Speaker 5: the jets go Somebody forgot to tell the Jets, you're
• 59:30
  Speaker 5: supposed to play two halves, not one. The Jets being
• 59:34
  Speaker 5: outscored 21-0 in the second half, scoring only four field
• 59:39
  Speaker 5: goals and no touchdowns. The question remains, how long does
• 59:45
  Speaker 5: Wade Johnson and his Johnson & Johnson family go with
• 59:49
  Speaker 5: Aaron Glenn, who's now 5-21 in his year and a
• 59:52
  Speaker 5: half with the Jets, including 2-7 this year, And then
• 59:57
  Speaker 5: the Bills coming up next Sunday, likely to go 2-8.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 5: The other concern has to be Aaron Glenn's fading one-time
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 5: skills as a defensive genius calling plays. I mean, that's disappeared.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 5: As a sports writer once said, he was supposed to
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 5: be a defensive guru. When does the guruing start? By
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 5: the way, the NFL, the favorites this week, won 13
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 5: out of the 14 games. Only the Patriots were favorite
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 5: and lost to Green Bay. And the favorites beat the
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 5: spread 9 out of 14. Well, it appears the college
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 5: football officials blew another one, disallowing Miami's potential tying touchdown
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 5: with three and a half minutes to go against Notre Dame.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 5: ruling no touchdown after he went out of the end zone.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 5: But you know what? Gentlemen, the rule is clear. It
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 5: says right in the books if a receiver, this is
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 5: college ball, catches the ball and has complete possession and
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 5: has at least one foot in the end zone, unlike
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 5: two in the NFL, even if he goes out of
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 5: bounds after the touchdown, it's still a touchdown. But so what?
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 5: Even if the NCAA comes out today and says, oops,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 5: we were wrong, unlike baseball where you can pick up
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 5: a point at protest, what are you going to do,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 5: bring back Notre Dame and Miami and play three and
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 5: a half minutes? No, that's the way it's going to be.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: Warner, are you attributing this call to the luck of
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: the Irish people?
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 5: Oh, well, that's what the Miami coach said. He said, boy,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 5: you better find a way to win. Yeah, you're playing again.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 5: Notre Dame in Notre Dame in South Bend, yeah. Oh,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 5: the sacrificial lamb of the week. Little Merrimack College played
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 5: powerful Wake Forest so they can get bigger bucks for
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 5: their athletic department, and they played them at Winston-Salem. They
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 5: lost 77 to nothing. 77 to nothing. So, if you
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 5: had Merrimack and 76 points, you lost.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 5: Oh, hey, baseball. Two Cleveland pitchers, including two-time American League
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 5: reliever of the year, Emmanuel Closset. They are now facing
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 5: criminal fraud charges here in New York. for tipping off
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 5: their pitches to the gamblers, including whether or not the
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 5: first pitch would be a strike or a ball. And
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 5: it worked, except for the time Class A purposely threw
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 5: his first pitch into the dirt, as he had promised,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 5: but the batter swung at it and missed for a strike.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 5: But there's another problem. You know, when I was growing up,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 5: and I don't know about you two guys who are younger,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 5: you bet on football with point spreads for football. That
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 5: was it. Odds, baseball, it was odds or runs, depending
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 5: on who the pitcher was that day, and point spreads
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 5: for basketball. But now, with gambling outlets like DraftKings and
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 5: Sportsbook and FanDuel, you can bet on anything. Anytime. And
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 5: that's one of the problems here.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: Well, they like to call it exotic bets. You know,
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: as opposed to the mainstream bets that you described that
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: everybody knows the degenerate gamblers were stuck by. Now you
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: can bet, as you said, on everything.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: Everything. Oh, yeah.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 5: I mean, and I've got the boo of the week.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 5: And this, man, this is horrible. This goes to Major
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 5: League Baseball for continually trying out new changes in the
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 5: minor leagues. to see if it will eventually work in
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 5: the major leagues. You know, like the robot home plate umpire,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 5: the phony ghost runner at second base for extra inning games. Well,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 5: here's a new one. They tried it out in the
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 5: Arizona Fall League. I can't believe this. In an effort
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 5: to get more doubles and triples in the gap, the
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 5: left and right fielders must play closer together to the
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 5: fair line, or foul line if you wish, before each pitch.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 5: And the center fielder must play a shallow center field
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 5: closer to the infield. And the new lines will be
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 5: marked by green paint. Any breaking of the rule will
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 5: result in the batter being awarded first base. What a farce. Man,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 5: this makes a mockery of the game. How about in
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 5: the batting averages? Remember the, you know, Can you imagine
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 5: what the great hitters of the past would have done
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 5: with a rule like this? You know, Mays and Williams
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 5: and Musial, Clemente DiMaggio. If this change had been used
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 5: when they played, they all would have hit over 400
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 5: every year. As you would say, say it, Curtis, Disgracia.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: Disgracia!
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: It is!
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: It's a shanda! A shanda, Waterwolf!
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 5: Thank you, gentlemen.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: Well, we're going to blow out the candles for you,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: all 12 of them, coming up on your birthday.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: 12 of them.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 5: That's significant.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: One for every decade.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, I get it. Wow, that's not right. That's not right. Well,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: November 11th, 1937.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: Is that 12?
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 5: Very good.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: Don't count on us for math and anything.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 19: Wait a minute.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 5: How about this? Natalie's four days older than me.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: Well, she worked with all three. She worked with all
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: three gamblings. The great-grandfather, grandfather, father. Come on.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 5: 1922.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: All right, thanks a lot, Warner. Natalie Migliore is up next.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: We've had a couple of awful fires recently, but there's
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: been many, many more because of lithium ion batteries. How
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: do New Yorkers feel about it? Natalie finds out in
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: her Beat on the Street next.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 8: Now, it's 710WOR' s Beat on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: Wow. A lot of fires in the five boroughs of late,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: sometimes back to back. And reporting to us from the
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: streets is our own Natalie Migliore.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 22: New York City is really marking a grim milestone with
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 22: a record number of e-bike battery fires. And those e-bikes
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 22: are run by lithium ion batteries, which are in our
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 22: laptops and our phones and everything in between. Now, Mary,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 22: from the Bronx says she knows the issue all too
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 22: well after a family in a neighboring building died in
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 22: the Patterson houses in the Bronx two weeks ago.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 19: I have one scooter in my house, and after that,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 19: we have to take it out because it's so dangerous.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 19: That's next to my building, that one electric bike that's
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 19: going to be fired, and the kids die, and the
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 19: whole family from him is dying. So, yeah, I'm so
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 19: scared about that now.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 4: Did that change how you store your scooter?
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 19: Obviously, I had to take out because I'm so scared.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 19: But now, I don't want anything in my house because
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 19: it's so dangerous.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 22: Now, not every New Yorker is as plugged in as
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 22: Mary because it doesn't always hit so close to home.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 22: The New York City Council is holding a hearing on
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 22: residential fires and these lithium-ion battery storage practices next week
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 22: in response to the sharp rise in these fires, right?
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 22: These lithium-ion battery fires.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 4: New Yorkers say.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 22: Something needs to be done, whether by the city or
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 22: buildings or both.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 23: I mean, it's just logic, okay? It is dangerous. There
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 23: needs to be very specific places or ways they can charge.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 23: I'm not saying take them away from them, but find
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 23: a better way to handle it.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 19: Yeah, you know, I received a letter from housing, and
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 19: they say nobody can have more than one scooter or
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 19: electric bike charging. So that's good. I feel like it's
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 19: so more secure now.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: They got a room downstairs where they put the bikes.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 4: Does that even worry you?
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: A little bit, but it's separate. You know, it's isolated.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: It's a big room.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: It's concrete in there.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 22: Well, the FDNY has long been trying to educate people
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 22: on lithium ion batteries and their dangers.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: They've set out guidelines. Don't charge.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 22: These things in front of your only way of exit,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 22: especially if you live in an apartment. Don't keep them
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 22: plugged in overnight. Use regulated batteries approved by, you know,
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 22: approved sellers, whether you're getting them on Amazon or elsewhere
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 22: from other retailers.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 4: It comes as the FDNY.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 22: Reports more than 400 lithium-ion-related battery fires so far this year.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 22: That's up from 292 in the same time frame last year.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 16: I mean, there's a staggering amount, yeah.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: Very bad. They need to do something about it. Like
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: people dying over in the house, get caught in the house,
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: and they can't get out to get trapped.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 24: I think that something has to be done about these
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 24: batteries that are blowing up, 100%. They make it difficult
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 24: to own regulation ones. So people have to use a.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: Black market to get cheaper ones.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 24: And those ones are combustible.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 23: I know they're dangerous, but in my little circle, it's
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 23: not an issue. But it is dangerous and something should
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 23: be done about it, especially on airplanes and the basements
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 23: of apartment buildings.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: Now, if you remember.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 22: The city was offering trade-in programs to ensure people have
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 22: regulated lithium-ion batteries. We haven't heard about that necessarily in
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 22: a while. And Mary says her building sent out a
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 22: notice limiting the amount of e-bikes you can have inside
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 22: your unit.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 4: But I want to know if her neighbors will follow
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 4: the rules.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 19: That's supposed to, you know, like after that thing, like
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 19: next to them, maybe, yeah, because everybody's scared now.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 23: Well, it should be terrifying for everyone who lives in
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 23: that building and it should be against the law.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: I know it's rough.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 23: You want to charge, but danger, danger, danger.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: Danger for the firefighters, right, having to go in and
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: fight these fires. By the way, where's the fire commissioner
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: since we've had a whole spate of these fires? Larry, Natalie,
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: our audience, Lillian Bonsignore, the new fire commissioner appointed by Zoran.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 18: Yep.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: Is partying in Puerto Rico with all the other Democrats
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: after every election. They have this Somos conference. They get
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: wine dined and pocket lined by lobbyists. They party to
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: the break of dawn, Eric Adams style. Where the hell
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: is Lillian? And how come she's not being called out?
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: This is an emergency now. Why are you fire commissioner for?
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: You're putting out fires in Puerto Rico?
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 22: And the former fire commissioner, or at least one or two,
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 22: When this originally started happening, I mean, we've started seeing
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 22: these numbers just pile up with lithium ion related fires.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 22: We've been covering them for years now, and it's gotten
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 22: more and more every year as these bikes become more popular.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 22: And they've gone down the FDNY previously to Washington, D.C.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 22: to state their case as to why things need to
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 22: be regulated in this certain case.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 4: This fire commissioner, you know, after a week.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: Of a slew of... Yeah, she's too busy partying in
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: Puerto Rico. By the way, there are fake walls, illegal subdivisions,
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: electrical outlets that have too many plugs in it. And,
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: of course, the heaters which are going to be put on,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: those dangerous electrical heaters. It's not even freezing weather yet. Hey,
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: Lillian Bonsignore, new fire commissioner, why don't you come back
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: from Puerto Rico?
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: In your story, the ones I feel the most horrible
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: for are the people that just happen to live in
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: those apartments next door. I mean, they didn't do anything wrong.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: These things should be called illegal and just get rid
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: of them for right now because until they figure it out.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: Things were starting to look good. As the transition of
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: power will take place both in the House and the
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: Senate on January 1st, when a new class gets sworn in,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: the president was saying all the right things, even in
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: his 60 Minutes interview that has gone viral, where he said, well,
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: the one area that we can have some involvement and
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: some room to move is immigration. I believe we were
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: a little too harsh in our implementation of that. And
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: I said, OK, that's a good acknowledgement. Tallarico, called Talafrico
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: by the president and others, appeared on Saturday Night Live.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: He was part of that opening act. You know, it
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: was great. But right before, since he was in New
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: York to do it, this is a live show, he said,
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: you know, I really want to compliment the president of
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: the United States because he did a great job sealing
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: up the border. And Texas was the state that felt
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: it the most. Obviously, Abbott led the way. He showed
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: how you could hermetically seal up a border just with
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: your own resources and And then ably assisted the president
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: of the United States to do everything else. So Tallarico
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: was not saying, hey, open border, come on in. I'm
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: the new U.S. senator replacing Cornyn, who was beaten by
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: Paxton in the primary. These were all good signs. Now,
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, something must have happened
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: in the White House. Because we knew Susie Wiles, who
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: had been loyal to him as his chief of staff.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: And the chief of staff, you need to understand, no
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: matter what the position in government, is the gatekeeper. That
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: is the guy or the gal who tries to monitor
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: traffic in and out of the White House, the Oval Office,
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: which ain't an easy thing to do with Donald Trump.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: But Susie Wiles seemed to have, I don't know, come
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: to say quite a special relationship with Donald Trump. He
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: oftentimes did not disparage her. We didn't hear that there
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: was yelling and screaming. He seemed to recognize she was
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: politically astute. She had, remember, Larry, very ably recommended Marco
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: Rubio to be Secretary of State. That was an excellent suggestion.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: And then she very ably recommended the guy you like,
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: the Secretary of the Treasury, you know, the farmer from Kentucky, Besson, right? Besson.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: Besson.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: I'm always messing up, but good choices. Well, somebody's got
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: to take the fall and Susie Wise is taking the fall.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: So she is being segued out to a new position.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: He used to be in that. Remember that first four years,
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: the president liked to fire some of his people. He
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: doesn't seem to do that any longer. Kristi Noem was
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: not fired as head of the Department of Homeland Service.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: Neither is Susie Weiss. They seem to be.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: Susie Wiles.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: Wiles. They seem to be sort of segued out to
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: a new position. We know what she's going to be
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: doing now. She's not left the administration.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: The odd thing is that they said she's going to
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: now serve in the political arm. So she's going to
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: work with the Republican Party. And I was trying to
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: find out what her position is going to be. And
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: there's no position named right now. I don't know what
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: her job is going to be. She is... She has been,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: certainly not in this election, but she has been brilliant politically.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: So this is really what she does well. She's been
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: a great chief. She's been great at deciding who and
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: who cannot speak with the president. That's basically the job.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: I think also she had that physical setback. Remember, she
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: had severe breast cancer, appears to have recovered from that.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: That's hard enough to deal with if you're not working.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: But imagine... You're the gatekeeper at the White House, which
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: has a lot of traffic. It's not like the Joe
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: Biden administration where he was sleeping like 18 hours a
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: day like a cat would. No, no, no. The president
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: is up and at him, as we know, 24-7, 365.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: Difficult job. But I think what happened is you could
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: take the scene right out of The Godfather where the
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: president sits Susie down and says, Susie, you have been loyal.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: You have been a great peacetime consigliere, which she has been.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: She was able to put out a lot of the
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: internal fires. But now I need a wartime consigliere. And
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: I guess he told her that it was her time
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: to go. And he called in his enforcer, the deputy
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: chief of staff, Stephen Miller. And I think that that
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: appointment was a signal to all that the olive branch,
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: the kumbaya moment, Let's come together, if not with all
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: the Democrats. Some of the Democrats was over because immediately,
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: Hakeem Jeffries, the incoming Speaker of the House, said, all
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: bets are off. This is war. As long as Stephen
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: Miller is the Chief of Staff for this president, we'll
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: have no dealings with him.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: Well, that's stupid. That's ridiculous for Jeffries to say that.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: He's got to back down now. You know, he was
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: the pit bull, which is what the minority person has
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: to do, but Listen, right now he's got to be
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: the speaker. He's got to start acting like the speaker.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: And that was just a dumb thing to say. I
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: will tell you this. Susie Wiles is tremendous. And there's
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: probably nobody in the Republican Party better when it comes
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: to politics. So she's now in her safe space. But
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: she was incredible. She was incredible as the chief of staff.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: And so I think she's going to be missed. But
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: I understand the change. Because if you've noticed, Trump has
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: said all the right things. And he's reached out his
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: hand and he's willing to work. So he's the good cop.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: He needs a bad cop. And the bad cop is
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: going to be Stephen Miller. But here's what's interesting about it.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: Everybody's worried about it because Stephen Miller is on TV
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: all the time. How many times do you see Susie
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: Wiles on TV?
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 3: Never.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 5: Never.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: A Vanity Fair interview, which I think she regretted.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but never, never. So I got a feeling if
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: he plays the role the way the role is supposed
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: to be played, because it's not just Susie Wiles. Go
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: back to Biden. You never saw his chief of staff.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: You go back to Obama. You never saw his chief
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: of staff. They're too damn busy. to do press interviews,
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: plus that's not their job. But behind the scenes, I
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: think Stephen Miller is going to be, Stephen Miller is
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: much better, much different. He's a great musician. Stephen Miller
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: is going to be much, much different in dealing with
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: the Democrats. That's who he's going to be talking to
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: a lot. Now, you talked about Hakeem Jeffries a moment ago.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: Here's what he had to say.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 10: There's not going to be any opportunity, certainly, to work
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 10: with Stephen Miller and what he represents. And we're committed
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 10: to forcefully pushing back against the extremism that they may
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 10: try to continue to unleash on the American people. And
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 10: we've got a firewall in the House and a firewall
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 10: in the Senate, thanks to the American people.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: The hard thing is that Marlon Stutzman, who is a
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: moderate Republican... He has come out and he said, I
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: don't like this pick either.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 25: I think that the decision to elect Stephen Miller is
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 25: a mistake. He's not liked out here in the Midwest
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 25: by people. They don't like his tone. They believe that
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 25: he didn't offer up a better solution, a more comprehensive
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 25: solution on immigration. And that's why I think it was
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 25: a bad mistake.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: You don't need to like the chief of staff. The
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: chief of staff is supposed to be not seen and
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: not heard. And Stephen Miller has been neither. So I
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: understand why people may not like the choice, but we
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: don't know how he's going to assimilate his style to
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: this job. You know, if you were going to worry
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: about who's going to be really out in the forefront,
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: I'd worry more about Jim Jordan. Jim Jordan being the
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: minority leader, he's the one that's going to do all
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 2: the fighting. He's the one that's going to be feisty
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: if he gets the job. Of course, he's running against
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: Steve Scalise, but everybody thinks it's going to be Jim Jordan.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: So you're seeing what's happening. Donald Trump has already pulled back.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump is now conciliatory. Donald Trump saying, hey, I
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 2: made a couple of mistakes. I'm willing to reach across
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: the aisle. But if you have Jim Jordan and you
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: have Stephen Miller and we don't know what else is
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: going to happen in that administration, believe me, it's not
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: over yet. It's pretty clear that Donald Trump wants to
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: be the nice guy now. And he wants to be
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: the guy that can reach his hand across the aisle.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: But he's going to surround himself with pit bulls.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the GOP, which had garnered up so much
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: of the Latino support in 2024 for Trump's election, 44% overall,
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: and they won the Latino male vote. They're down at 30%.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: And by appointing Stephen Miller, the pit dog, who basically
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: said everybody who's illegal gets deported. You have basically said
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: to the GOP Latinos, hey, the door is open. Make
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: sure that the door doesn't hit you on the way out. Oh,
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 2: That's a little bit silly because it's not political now.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: There's nothing to run for now except for two years.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: In two years, you've got to worry about that kind
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: of stuff. Nobody's going to leave the party over Stephen Miller.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: Nobody is. And I'd be stunned if it happened. nobody's
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: going to even complain that loudly about Stephen Miller. Everybody's
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: just worried about themselves right now and about two years
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: from now.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: Two years is a long time. Let's look at Salazar's
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: in a neck-and-neck race still in southern Florida who fired
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: the first shot to say, Mr. President, you're over the
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: top with your immigration enforcement.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: And this isn't going to affect that race at all
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: because the votes are already in. You know, you're talking
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: about two years from now. That's That's a lifetime in politics.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: Let's let it play out a little bit. But there's
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: not going to be any political repercussions. I want to be–
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: I want to sort of put the olive branch out.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: And then you put the pit bull out that you
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: have to deal with, who clearly wants every illegal alien deported.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: It's good cop, bad cop. I'd listen to the president
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: and what he said and not Stephen Miller. Stephen Miller
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: has a new job. And again, that job is supposed
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: to be not seen and not heard. He's going to
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: be a pit bull behind the scenes, but that's obviously
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: what Donald Trump wants. But Hurting him politically, I just
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: don't see it at this point.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: I guarantee he'll be a regular presence on the Fox
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: News channel like he's always been.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll see.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: A regular presence. We'll see.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: If he does the job the way it's supposed to
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: be done, that's not going to happen.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: Anyway, up next, down in Florida, there was a sanctuary
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: for gorillas and chimpanzees. And there was a flood, and
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: one of them got saved by the drone. I'm wondering
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: if it was bubbles. the longtime friend of Michael Jackson,
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: who was sent to a sanctuary down there. They call
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: it an ape sanctuary, who's still alive, plus a chance
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: to see Tommy James and the Shondells next.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: Well, here's a story you'll love, Curtis, and Nancy will love,
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: because it's about a chimp sanctuary. There's an organization called
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: Save the Chimps, and they go around from zoos and
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: also from homes, people that are dumb enough to have
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: a chimp in their house and then realize, I can't
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: control this chimp. They take all of these chimps and
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: they have a sanctuary in Florida. Well, you remember over
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks, they've had torrential rainfall in
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: Florida and they have 200 chimps. Well, 199 of them
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 2: were smart enough to seek cover and they were fine.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: But they were missing one, and it's one of their
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: most famous chimps. It's Caleb. Caleb is 38 years old. Now,
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: to give you an idea of how old that is
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: in chimp years, in the wild especially, chimps, that's probably
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: the oldest they'll get, is 38 years old. And Caleb
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: is also blind. So you can see he had a
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: couple excuses for not getting back inside cover at the sanctuary.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: He was missing and they set up a drone to
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 2: find him. And they realized he wasn't at a place
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: where he could get any food. And it turned out
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 2: he was there a couple of days and that he
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: would be starving to death. So they hooked up to
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 2: the drone some oranges and bananas and sent him his
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 2: way and dropped them.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 11: He was, I think, happily surprised to get his banana
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 11: and immediately peeled and ate it. and almost like looked
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 11: back at the drone with a look of appreciation, I
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 11: would say.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: That's Ana Paula Tavares, who runs the location. Now, the
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: water resided a little bit. He was up in the
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: trees for most of the time. The water resided a
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: little bit, and he's now made it back, and he's safe.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's a great story. But my main concern is
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: for the most famous Chimpanzee of all time. Friend of
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: that pedophile on a pedestal, Michael Jackson. Bubbles, who was
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: taken from the sanctuary and put into a chimpanzee haven
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: in Florida. He should be like over 40 years old now.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: Was Bubbles affected?
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: No, he's in the Center for Great Apes. This one's
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: in Fort Pierce. I'm going to pronounce this wrong. Watula?
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 3: Watula?
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: Wachula, Florida. That's where he is right now. He's now,
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: speaking about being 38, being old for a chimp, he's
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: in his 40s right now.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: And still alive.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: The most famous chimpanzee of all. Having surpassed, remember, Bonzo
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: the Chimp?
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: With Ronald Reagan when he was the actor. You know,
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: bedtime stories for Bonzo or whatever the name of that
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: movie was.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: Now let's get to some talkbacks.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 18: I think you should raise the voting age to 25.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 18: I think the young people of America are heavily influenced
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 18: with social media, fake news, and these colleges brainwashing them.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 18: Let them hit the workforce and feel the pains the
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 18: rest of America is going through and the struggles. And
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 18: hopefully they'll vote for candidates that will improve their lives
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 18: and have the same issues that they need addressed.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: So you could go fight and die in a war,
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: but this gavon, this do not. wants the voting age
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: range to 25 and thinks that's going to change, you know,
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: guess what? According to the figures that came out in
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: the midterms, it would not have changed it.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm thinking 35 and you have to have employment.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 2: You have to be working at the time and you
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: have to pay something. Let's just say this. You have
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: to pay a certain amount of taxes to have the
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: right to vote. You know, there is a weirdness right
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: now among the young who More than anybody else likes
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 2: socialism in the polls. Don't blame the young people. You're
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: really going to attract them to the GOP. You keep
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: blaming the Gen Zs and the Millennials. It's over, man,
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: if you keep doing that. It's over. I'm not going
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: to have any effect.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 3: Those Republicans and independents, because they hate Trump, are like
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 3: the stupid people that go, I want to buy the house,
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 3: but the color of the house is horrible, so I
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 3: won't buy that house like freaking paint doesn't exist. So
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 3: he has a whatever attitude. He's fixing everything. You can't
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 3: see that.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: Now, people have short memories. Oh, it's the gas prices.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 2: The gas prices are too high. They don't forget what
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: inflation was. They forget what inflation was like under Biden.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 2: They forget when there was an open border. They forget
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: when crime was so high.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's fixing everything. Declare victory in the war with
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: Iran and get the hell out of there. There's our
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: favorite rhino. And now it's time for the news with Darius. Morning, guys.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 12: Showers today with a high of 57 degrees. The week
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 12: begins at the Trump White House with a new boss.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 12: Deputy Policy and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller is taking
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 12: over as chief of staff.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 26: He's really the architect of all those executive orders that
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 26: Trump signed in those first days. The architect of Trump's
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 26: mass deportation policy. The architect of the attacks on the
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 26: alleged drug boats in the Caribbean, the bombing of those boats.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 26: That was Stephen Miller. He was very much a part
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 26: of the Venezuela movement. Even though he wasn't at the Pentagon,
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 26: he wasn't on the National Security Council, he was the guy.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 12: That's ABC's Jonathan Karl. Miller will take over for Susie Wiles,
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 12: who some in the administration say the president is blaming
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 12: for the midterm losses. Prosecutors say the suspect in the
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 12: fatal stabbing of Brooklyn jogger Katie Suarez was working as
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 12: a classroom aide in city schools. Syed Mohassib was also
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 12: a former employee of the NYPD and had been discharged
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 12: from the military for psychiatric reasons. A judge from the
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 12: Bronx is facing criminal charges, accused of driving under the influence.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 7: Judge Eric Ray was pulled over last Friday around 12.53 a.m.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 7: in the Fordham section of the Bronx on suspicions of
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 7: driving while intoxicated. He reportedly refused a breathalyzer test. Under
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 7: state law, refusal to take a breathalyzer test results in
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 7: an automatic, immediate suspension of a driver's license. Gray's current

• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: get another chance to win tomorrow night. at 825. Well,
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 2: with the new election results, there's two people in Washington
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: that are now worried about their jobs, the defense secretary
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: and the minority leader who thought he was going to
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: be majority leader, Pete Hegseth and Chuck Schumer. We'll talk
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 2: about it next. Well, here's the thing about Pete Hegseth.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: You're going to hear all this talk about impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment,
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: and it probably is going to happen. He's going to
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: be impeached, but I don't believe that there's a world
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: where he is removed from office. So he's going to
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 2: be just like President Trump in the first term. He'll
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: be impeached, but he'll continue on as the Secretary of War.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: Articles of impeachment have already been introduced, and it's by
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 2: an outgoing Republican, Thomas Massey of Kentucky, reintroduced a privilege
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 2: resolution containing eight, eight, count them, eight articles of Hegseth
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 2: related to Iran, Venezuela, Yemen, violation of the War Powers
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 2: Resolution of 1973. And recently, the incoming Speaker of the
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: House said he is a hard yes on the impeachment proceedings.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 10: The so-called Secretary of Defense has abused his power, undermined
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 10: our national security, and engineered this reckless and costly war
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 10: of choice in Iran, which has skyrocketed prices on the
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 10: American people and made the country less safe. Pete Hegseth
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 10: has got to go.
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: Well, he won't go. There's not a world where he's
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 2: going to go. They're going to need at least 67 votes,
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: and they don't have those votes. And there's enough Republicans
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 2: that will vote against removing him from office, vote against
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 2: a conviction. But it's going to be really fascinating. Pete Hegseth,
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 2: by the way, Donald Trump in the 60 Minutes interview,
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 2: defended Pete Hegseth, saying that he has won two wars.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 2: He's talking about Iran and Vietnam. And Pete Hegseth responded
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: But of course, the other side, in case you've noticed,
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: they're obsessed.
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 17: A disgruntled, defeated congressman, along with all his Democrat allies,
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 17: has also dropped sham articles of impeachment against yours truly.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 17: Just like they tried against President Trump twice.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 2: At the very least, it's going to be entertaining. I
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 2: don't know if you remember Pete Hegseth's appearance in front
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: of the House of Representatives, which is going to happen
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 2: first as part of the investigation. There's going to be
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 2: this interrogation by Democrats. And if you remember, Pete Hegseth
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 2: is very combative. And Pete Hegseth will hold his own.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 3: Stop.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: Based on the... Stop. reclaiming my time. Because you yell
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: doesn't make you right. Are you calling this administration about
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: the economy? You know what is upsetting? Incredible.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 17: Well, I would say the blockade that we hold that
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 17: doesn't allow anything to come in or out of Iranian ports.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, so we've blockaded their blockade.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 7: So they blockaded us, and then we blockaded their blockade.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, you care a lot about President Trump, don't you?
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: This is a cute waste of your five minutes. A huge, cute.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: So we're going to expect more of that. The very
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 2: least is going to be entertaining. Listen, I believe that
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 2: the Democrats are not going to try to impeach Donald Trump.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 2: I think they know that hurt them the last time
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 2: they did it. But they need to show their base.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 2: They need to show the DSA. They need to show
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 2: the non-DSA who are still angry that they're going to
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 2: take on this administration. And I believe Pete Hegseth is
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 2: going to be the sacrificial lamb. And so there will
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 2: be an impeachment trial in the Senate. There will be
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 2: impeachment proceedings in the House. He will be impeached by
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 2: the House, but he's going to keep his job in
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 2: the end. So it's all theater.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: But you're going to see a lot of Republicans jump
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: ship and want to impeach him.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 2: On the issue of him letting those— How many do
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 2: you— let me hear your guess on that. How many— do you
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 2: think that there's enough in the Senate that will jump?
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 5: I do.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: You think there's going to be 67 votes? I do,
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: for the reason that you didn't mention. There are a
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: lot of valuable men that were released from their Pentagon
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: duties that were loved by Republicans, veterans themselves. We're not
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: talking about DEI hires. You always like to say that. No,
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: valuable personnel. There's a lot of problems in the Pentagon
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: now because he is known as just being, if you
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: criticize him, that's it, you're gone. So I think you're
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: going to see a lot of blowback on that. I
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: would love to do a bet on that. I would
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: bet you anything he's not going to be removed from office.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: If they bring some of these esteemed men to give testimony,
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: that's going to have a very damning effect on him
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: because we're not now talking about what he says or whatever.
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: It's what he does as the Secretary of War in
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 1: the Pentagon.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 2: But something has to rise to impeachable offense, almost criminal.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 2: It almost has to be a criminal offense or an
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 2: abuse of power. And I just don't—listen, I listen to
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 2: the Republican senators all the time. Most of them have
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 2: come out in support of him. So I'm not sure
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 2: you're going to be able to get 67 votes. I mean,
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: if it— let' s just say it's 55 Democrats. You're going to
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 2: need to get 12 Republicans?
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: Well, let's see how it goes. Meantime, the schmuck-to-putz Chuck E.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: Cheese Schumer was the focus— of a no-kings rally over
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: the weekend, so was Hakeem Jeffries. But we know Hakeem
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: Jeffries is going to become the incoming Speaker of the House,
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to whack him. But oh boy, the
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: schmuck-to-putz Chuck E. Cheese Schumer could be whacked by Democrats.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: Those that are incoming have all said, that's it. We're
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: telling you right on the record now, we do not
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: want him to become the majority leader of the United
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: States Senate. There are those Democrats who have hated having
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: to work with him. His only saving grace, I can
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: tell you from past experience, is that this guy is
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: the J. Edgar Hoover of politics. What was that famous
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: program that was on Netflix about Washington, D.C.? You remember
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: it was about the intrigue in Washington, D.C. What was that, Crash?
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: Art Savant?
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 21: House of Cards.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: House of Cards. Oh, that's right. This is Chuck Schumer.
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: He keeps a file on everybody. I mean, everybody. He
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: hires people that do negative research, not just on foes,
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: but on friends. He's got a file. on everybody. All
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: you would have to do is speak to Michael Steele,
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: who is running for the Senate as a Republican, African-American
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: Republican in Maryland, and he will tell you of the
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: just negative research that was triggered by the schmuck to
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: putz Chuck E. Cheese Schumer. So if you try to
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: take him out, He will then, through his contacts, begin
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: to filter out in the media very unfavorable stories about
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: you with linkage to some of his research, and he
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: won't have his fingerprints on it. That's his history.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 2: The problem he has is all the new Democrats want
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 2: him out. Here's Troy Jackson. Would you support Chuck Schumer
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: for majority leader?
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: I've already said that I told Senator Schumer that I'm
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: going to support somebody else, so it's no different now.
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 2: When you were campaigning, you said, we're not going to
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 2: vote for Chuck Schumer for Majority Leader. He's going to
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 2: have a bigger majority now. Do you still have that vote?
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 8: I still very much believe that it's time for a
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 8: generational change on both sides of the aisle.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 2: Call him if he wins in Mississippi. Too many of
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 2: our leaders are from the same areas of the country.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 2: It's not a good thing that both Leader Schumer and
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 2: Leader Jeffries both live in the same borough. And it
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 2: goes on and on. El Sayed, Tallarico. It's person after person.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: All the newcomers in want him out. And They have
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 2: some power now. They have some influence over the Democratic Party.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 2: So it's going to be fascinating to see what happens.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 2: Last week, I thought there's no way that's going to happen.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 2: The cowsheeds on it are like 92 percent. He's going
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 2: to he's going to win out. I still think in
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: the end he's going to win out, but he's going
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 2: to have a lot of headwinds.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: Larry, when they meet with him, the minority leader, he'll
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: still be the minority leader on their first visit to D.C.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: to acclimate themselves. I'll say you see this file. I'm
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: going to give this to you. It came across my desk. Boy,
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: I think you would hate to see any of this
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: information see the light of day. Comprendo?
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 2: You think it's going to be that blatant?
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, he does this all the time. Larry, I've heard
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: the horror stories, and we're not just talking Republicans. We're
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: talking about fellow Democrats. Anyway, iHeartRadio wants you to know
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: about an exciting game on Monday Night Football this week.
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills take on the Minnesota Vikings in a
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: battle of one-loss teams. That's tonight. Monday Night Football live
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: from Minneapolis. 8-15 tonight only on ESPN. I hate to
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: tell you, I told you so. So many Republicans who
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: thought there would be a tsunami of Jewish votes coming
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: on over because of Zoran and El-Sayed.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, boy.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: Prepare for the obvious. I don't know why you even
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: bother knocking yourself out. Jews always vote for Democrats. Up next.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 2: Well, something wonderful, I believe, happened in Philadelphia over the weekend.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 2: There was this planned protest. by protesters saying they're pro-Palestinian.
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 2: And there's always been this underlying anti-Semitism in all of that.
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 2: And they claim, no, no, no, no, no, no, this
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 2: is about Israel. We're anti-Zionist. We're not anti-Jewish. And yet
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 2: what they did was protest and called for a boycott
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 2: of Jewish businesses. Well, wait a second. If you are
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 2: only anti-Israel, why would you attack Jewish businesses in Philadelphia?
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 2: And there was a big gathering in Rittenhouse Square, which
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 2: is one of the really nice areas of Philadelphia, one
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 2: of the business districts. It's got a beautiful park in
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 2: the middle of it. And a couple of hundred anti-Jewish,
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 2: anti-Semitic protesters gathered. So you're wondering, what's the wonderful part
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 2: of this? Well, about 500 other protesters gathered, not all Jewish,
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 2: just people of faith, many of them Jewish, but many
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 2: of them Catholic, many of them Presbyterian, just people who
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 2: are revolted by the fact that you would attack a
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 2: business because of the faith of the owner. And not
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 2: only did they take on the protesters in a counter-protest,
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 2: But they formed long lines at all the businesses to
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 2: show their support against the boycott, to make sure that
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 2: they didn't have a bad day, but they had their
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 2: best day of the year. That's how you deal with it.
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 2: That's how you deal with it in New York. You
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: don't fight. You don't complain. You just get out and
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 2: spend money and show your support. And I'm not just
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 2: talking about the Jewish people in New York. I'm talking
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 2: about the people of faith. Because if this can happen
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 2: to the Jews, you could be next.
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 1: Now, since you mentioned the Jewish vote, how much energy
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: was put in by the Republicans who thought, oh, we're
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: going to win the Jewish vote. We're going to win.
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: Ed Cox, who needs to go, state chairman, said we're
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: putting all of our money into converting Jews who are
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: Democrats to Republicans.
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: You saw that all across the nation. Well, the facts
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 1: are in. 68% of Jews across the nation voted for
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: the Democrats running. 31% voted for the Republicans running. The
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: only ones higher were Muslims voting for Democrats. So you
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: had the evangelicals who actually increased their support for Republicans
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: and the other Protestant Catholics who are a little more
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: for the Dems. So let's look at New York State.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: where Blakeman banked his whole campaign on being pro the
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: Jewish vote. Let's go into every synagogue, every group of Jews,
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 1: and we will win. Well, Zeldin, four years ago, who
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: wasn't running on these issues, got 47% of the Jewish
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: vote as a Republican candidate against Hochul. What do you
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: think Blakeman got? 40%. So I have said consistently, knock
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: yourself out. Jews are going to vote for Democrats until
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: the day they die. And guess what? Because of that,
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 1: we now have a new block of votes, Muslims. who
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: are always going to vote for the Democrats. So I
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: told you, I told you for a long time this
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: would happen, and the numbers don't lie. Anyway, Larry, the
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: talkback of the morning and winner of the Curtis Lee
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: and Larry Menti in the morning T-shirt, and now in
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: the running for talkback of the week, who will win
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: a seat Crane Radio wanted to add to our chimpanzee talk.
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 27: Curtis and Larry, you forgot one most famous chimp right
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 27: in your backyard, and that was Patty Cake. at the
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 27: Bronx Zoo, and she was very well-adversed in sign language. Also,
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 27: in the late 50s, my aunt fostered chimpanzees, and they
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 27: brought them in on the school bus, and we had
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 27: to teach them to eat at the kitchen table with
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 27: plastic utensils. Well, that stopped until they got into the
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 27: sugar bowl and had a major fight.
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 2: A lot of fun. Well, that's like most kids. Chimpanzees, kids,
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 2: they're the same.
• 1:45:53
