Hour 1: Cornell University · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, did Ray Stajic say low 80s?
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm down on Ray Stajic in terms of
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: everything he has said, but you folks, you and Natalie
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: seem to give him a pass, and obviously our listeners,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: wherever they are, but I thought he nailed it.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not giving him a pass. I thought he
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: did a great job on that forecast with the storm. No,
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: I think he was a dollar short and a day late.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: You just don't like his temperament. You thought that he
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: soft-sell'd it, but what he was actually saying was right
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: on the money.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Well, he was too laid back.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: If you notice, yesterday, all the residual effects of this
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: nor'easter became very apparent. From the downed power lines to
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: the downed trees to the beach encroachment.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: What beach? The beach is gone.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: All the way up the Jersey Shore, South Shore, Long Island,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: everywhere you look, including my favorite broad channel, Howard Beach
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: and the Rockaways, the Irish Riviera.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Wiped out.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Wiped out.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: And I remember him two days before, well... It might.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: You never know if it goes west.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, what?
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Compared to the TV forecasters, he was a weather forecaster
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: on Quaaludes.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: You are completely misquoting him. He said it was going
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to be bad along the shoreline. It's going to depend
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: for everybody else how far west it goes. And look,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I barely got anything because I'm way off the shoreline. Natalie,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: did you get the high winds and the horrible rain?
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: No. No.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: So he nailed it. He nailed it. Look at you.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I know. That's because you were a brother in solidarity
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: with him as a fellow weather forecaster who spent years
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: in San Diego. Very difficult job at night. Oh, it's 78.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: It's a gorgeous day. The sun is out. Did it
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: ever rain?
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Did you ever have a rain forecast? Here's how easy
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: it is in San Diego. Every weatherman is given another job.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: You're a consumer reporter plus.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Got it.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: It's like a part-time gig. I did features. I tried
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: to come up with one for every night because there's
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: not enough weather to talk about.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: So that clicker in your hand that all the weather
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: guys and gals have, where you show all the winds
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: are coming on shore. There it was like the clicker
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: was like.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: They didn't trust me with the flicker. The director did everything.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: The director made all of the changes. So, yeah, no.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: But wait a second. Jersey Shore twins. Because the both
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: of you have been basically birthed and grown up on
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: the southern part of the Jersey Shore. You, Larry, and
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the northern part of the Jersey Shore.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: You, Natalie.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Man, it looked like a wipeout in some of those areas.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You should see some of the pictures from there.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: They were showing a shot, and I think this was
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: in Long Island because they got hit hard, too. They
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: were showing the steps going down from either a pier
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: or a boardwalk. It was going down, and it just
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: hangs in the air because so much of the sand
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: was taken out. I'm talking about several feet of sand
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: taken out.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: The job they're going to have to do and the
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: money they're going to have to spend to fix the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Jersey Shore and the beaches on Long Island in New
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: York is going to be monumental. You know, it's so
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: lucky this happened at the end of the summer because
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: it had to happen the beginning of the summer. The
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: summer would have been a wipeout. There's some of these
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: beaches that you're not able to go to right now.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: So why do we continue this? Ridiculous.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: We go out. We dredge up sand way offshore. We
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: bring it back.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: We pour it on the existing beach only to know
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: it's going to be drawn out miles away and you
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: have to do the process all over again. We spend basically,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: when you think of all the years we've been doing this,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: since I was a kid, billions of dollars.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: It's going on right now.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: And we're going to want it from the federal government
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: because we can't afford it with state funds or local funds.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: So it's like you would have figured by now they
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: would have– Decompartmentalize it and forget.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: We're doing the same thing.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: This is the definition of insanity.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: We do the same thing over and over just to
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: have a beach. Yeah, well, that's a big deal. I mean,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: they do make a lot of money. Tourism, and especially
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: at the Jersey Shore, is a huge asset for the
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: state of New Jersey, and it is for New York
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and Long Island as well. Of course, everybody has memories
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: of the Jersey Shore. Forget about the money that's made.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: It is one of the diamonds in this area, one
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: of the things we treasure in this area. The fact
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: that you can go to the Jersey Shore, you can
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: go to Long Island, or you can go to any
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: of the New York City beaches. that's part of your
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: memories from when you were a kid.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Understood, but you say.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: And there's a lot of money to be made, too.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: It's a treasure. Well, treasure gets buried. You have no
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: beach to bury the treasure in. So your druthers are
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: you would have done nothing?
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: No, no, I would.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Say since the Army Corps of Engineers have been coming
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: up with all kinds of plans since the 60s when
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I was a kid, you figure by now, by now
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: they'd have a better way of retaining the sand every
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: time a storm hits.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: You would think by now. Well, it's not every time
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: a storm hits. It really isn't. It's like once every
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: several years there's a really bad storm. And there's a
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: lot of things people don't want to spend money on.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. That ain't one of them. I
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: think most people, I think you're in the minority here,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: most people want to replenish the shorelines because it's one
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: of our natural beauties and one of our natural treasures.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: That's just because you like it, Larry. That's true. And
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: that's just because you like it, Natalie.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: But I bet you there'll be a lot of taxpayers
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: out there saying, hey, I don't understand that.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I don't go to the beach. Oh, I'd love to
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: hear from people because I think that most people... especially
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey and especially in Long Island, go to
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: some beach during the summer.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Well, the few times that I've been down at the
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Jersey Shore, usually we started out early, you know, New
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Jersey Turnpike, Garden State Parkway. And what's the first stop?
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Got to get a cup of coffee like everybody else.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: They're lined up for all these foreign blends. You're going
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: to go through the whole day before you get to
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the beach?
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But everybody seems to line up.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Today is National Coffee Day.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, I get it.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Sorry.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: And let's face it.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: This country is consumed with getting coffee.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Not decaf.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: There are people out there who specifically say decaf, but caffeinated.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Caffeinated products, especially coffee for the older folks and for
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: the younger folks, man, it's the caffeinated drinks. Red Bull, Monster.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: In fact, Chris, who has returned, what's the one thing
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I asked him, Natalie, right out of the box? Oh,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: you millennials, you Gen Zers, first thing in the morning
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: you want, Red Bull.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: He said, yeah, two Red Bulls to get going. That's
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: all caffeine.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Have you ever tasted Red Bull?
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't mind a Red Bull. Oh, you don't? No.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I find it a nasty taste, but it's really just
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: to get you, you know, herky-jerky, basically to jumpstart you.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: It's huge in colleges. My college-age kids, they drink it
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: all the time. For tests, for exams and stuff like that,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: they're on Red Bull. And believe me, I prefer that
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: to the alternatives that they might be taking. So when
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: they do Red Bull, I go, good.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Thumbs up.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I'll go get you a case.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Well, let me give you this new study. You're a
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: coffee guy, Larry.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: I notice you're a really good husband in the morning
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: before you leave to come all the way here to
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: join me and Natalie and our audience. You make a
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: cup of coffee for your wife who has to go
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: opposite you towards Philadelphia, right?
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I put it out every single morning.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: It makes for a happy marriage. I don't have to
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: do anything else. Well, I don't know if you're aware
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: of this. I don't know how you got away with that.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: According to the studies, with the 80% of U.S. residents
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: who consume caffeine, the older you are, it's generally with coffee.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: The first sip is the strongest buzz of caffeine you're
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: going to get all day long. It's like any drug.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: You know, your first hit is the strongest. Then you
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: keep taking more and more hits, thinking you could duplicate
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: the original hit and it never happens. But they're saying
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: you shouldn't have that caffeinated coffee until 90 minutes after
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: you've woken up.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Well, that's ridiculous. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: And that's one study about how many that have been
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: out on coffee. I mean, it's ridiculous. You know, I'm
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: pretty good. And the other thing is how much you're
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: supposed to drink, right? Everybody tells you how much you're
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: supposed to drink. For a while there, it was two.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Then it went up to five. You know, me, 14. 14?
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: 14 cups of coffee in a day is probably what
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I need. No, you're... How many cups of coffee do
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I take during the show? Have you seen me get
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: up constantly? I'm in there getting another cup of coffee.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: My mouth is on the ground right now.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I drink a lot of coffee.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: And it's just caffeine.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I can't believe you've never seen me. Do you think
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: that's the same cup I'm bringing in all the time?
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: First of all, that's two.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Natalie is stunned now.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: That's two in this tumbler. Now, when the.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Original studies came out and said, you're going to have
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: a heart attack, you're going to have a stroke. Remember
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: when they said if you had more than three or
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: four cups a day, what was your reaction back then?
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Because I'm assuming you've been a regular coffee drinker all
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: through these years.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I know I'm not going to have a heart attack
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: because I need the coffee just to stay awake, just
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to stay alert. So It never has taken me to
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the point where I felt like my heart was going
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: too fast or I was going too fast. The coffee
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: just gets me to normal. 14 cups gets you to normal?
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Do you know that if you drink too much coffee,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: they say that the dopamine stops being replenished in your body? Yes.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: So you're actually replacing the dopamine.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: With the coffee.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: So you mean if you were to experiment and just
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: come in and let's say have a normal one cup
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: of coffee when you're home before you come and then
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: another cup here, you would be falling asleep during this program?
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: I'd be that boring and Natalie would be that boring
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: that we would put you to sleep?
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: No, I wouldn't say that you were that boring that
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I went to sleep, but I would say my lack
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: of coffee, yes, would make me drowsy. Well, let's find
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: out from our many listeners out there and talk back.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Do you think.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: 14 cups of caffeinated coffee that Larry drinks religiously.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I'll admit, 14 is a number I just made up.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: But I'll start counting. Do you think that's a little
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: too much? Are you similar to Larry? Or do you
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: believe this latest study? It says caffeine.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you want to have a regulated day, don't
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: drink your first cup of caffeinated coffee until 90 minutes
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: after you wake up. And the whole idea is your
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: first sip is going to be your strongest caffeine boost
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: all day long.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't believe that either. Like I have one
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: in the afternoon. I go home and I nap and
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: then I have a cup of coffee as soon as
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I wake up.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: I just can't even believe it.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: I only started drinking coffee five years ago, and I
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: have one cup a day, maybe two.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: National coffee day.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: The only downside of it is I go to the
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: bathroom a lot.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, it is.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: It's a good eliminator. Constant. Absolutely. All day long. Don't
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: worry about it.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Don't forget the prune juice. Just drink the coffee.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Hey, so if you want to leave the talk back,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: go to the iHeartRadio app, leave us a talk back.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: You could win it courteously, win Larry Menti in the
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: morning t-shirt. You know that. We award that every single day.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: And while you're on the free iHeartRadio app, be sure
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: to stay at a preset for 710WOR. Well, explain this
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Giants and Yankees thing. We have two things, big deals
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: going on in town. The Giants got a new player,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and then the Yankees have two players that they hope
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: can play. but it's very doubtful they're ever going to
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: be able to play this year. But they're praying, they're praying,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: and they're trying. Plus, man, I would love to go
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: to this concert. Stevie Wonder at 825. Tickets to see
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Stevie Wonder. You're going to get a chance when they
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: tell you to call in. Stick around. Well, the Giants
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: traded for a quarterback. You're not going to see him
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: on the field right away. It's going to be Jameis
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Winston playing. from here on out until he proves he
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: can't do it. But they picked up J.J. McCarthy. Now,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: if you remember that name, it's because he was a
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: quarterback when Michigan won the national championship. And he was
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the quarterback under his brother, Jim Harbaugh. So John Harbaugh,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I'm sure, made the phone call to his brother and said, hey,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: what do you about J.J.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: McCarthy?
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure he raved about him. But in the pros,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: he hasn't been that great. He was picked No. 10
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: by Minneapolis. So he was a top-10 quarterback. I mean,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: he was first-round top-10 quarterback. Or draft pick. He was
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: second quarterback picked in that draft. But he has never
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: really taken off. His quarterback rating is an abysmal 57.6%.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: He had 10 games that he played, and his record,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: he only won six of them. So He is a project.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: There's no question. There's no question he has talent. But
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: let me just point out that there are a lot
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: of quarterbacks that have all this promise that are just
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: in the wrong coaching scheme or are on the wrong team.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: When they get to the right team, they flourish. Look
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: at Sam Darnold. I mean, he's a Super Bowl winner now, right?
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: And he's been spectacular. He wasn't too great here, but
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: he's spectacular there. So I would just wait and see.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: This is going to be a project, but maybe by
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the end of the year, Curtis, you're going to see J.J. McCarthy.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: No, I said Joe Flacco yesterday with Warner Wolf. He's
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: tried and true. You can plug him in anywhere. And
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: he had worked with the Baltimore Ravens, won them a championship.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: But anyway, let's turn to the Yankees who want to
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: win the World Series but have to get through Boston first.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: First game tonight at Yankee Stadium. And they trotted out
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: first Stanton, who hasn't played in five months, to take
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: batting practice and run around the bases a little bit.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God. You're not going to activate him, I hope.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: He didn't get you to where you are now. And then,
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: of course, Aaron Judge, the captain.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: But he didn't run at all. He just took a
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: few swings. He's got a calf injury. And he's telling... Basically,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: he's telling management ownership, put me in, coach. Put me in, coach.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: But I'll tell you this much.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: As great as Aaron Judge is during the season, MVP, MVP,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: he stinks in the playoffs.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: He really does.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: And I would say, if he can't run, why would
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: you activate him? What?
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: So he can DH? And what happens if he hits
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: the ball?
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Then he runs to first, and then he collapses because
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: his calves are not properly healed?
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: I would say.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Go with the guys who got you there. Stanton certainly
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: don't activate him. And Aaron Judge, there's no doubt he's MVP.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: But I'll be honest with you, every time I've seen
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: him in the playoffs, he has not delivered.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: What do they say about sports? You never ask the
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: player if he wants to play because they're always going
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: to say yes. Of course, and you want them to
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: say yes. Yes, they're always going to be ready to play.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: They might have their arm dangling off. But, yeah, I'm set, Coach.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Let's get some talkbacks. Decaf coffee.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Is one of the biggest disgracias you can think of.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's the point of coffee, is the caffeine.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's like non-alcoholic beer. There's no purpose.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, that's true. It was Sanka that started the decaffeinated, right?
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: They have that orange thing. When you want decaffeinated, you
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: have to hit that orange handle.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's interesting. So they had two awful things. They
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: not only had the decaf, but it was instant. Oh,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: my God, that was liquid tar. It was double bad.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: The bride and I, we roast our own coffee, have
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: for the last five years.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Curtis, coffee is the nectar of the gods.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Natalie.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: You got to pick it up. You're slacking behind. All right.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: I'll drink faster.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Remember, Larry? Go ahead. I was like, I'd just love
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: to know how he roasts his own coffee. I mean,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I understand grinding.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Your own coffee.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: You people. There's a whole clique.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: In this building where they are coffee aficionados and they
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: have to brew their own coffee. They have to make
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: their own frog.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: It's like microbrews for beer now.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: It's weird. It is just weird. We've invited you into
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: the clique.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I know. You're like the Jehovah Witnesses. You're just after
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: me every single day. Join us. You'll love it. Join us. No, no, no, no.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I just have a regular cup of coffee. Let's get
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: to Daria Albinger now with the 630 News. Daria.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: I don't drink coffee.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe Natalie can convert you.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Do you see the size of the Diet Coke I
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: have out there? She has a big Diet Coke every day.
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: And I found out that the caffeine in soda comes
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: from decaffeinated coffee. So I guess I do.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Have my coffee.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how about that?
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Is that right?
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: Well, that's at least what one of our reporters found
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: out when they were covering National Coffee Day, that we
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: are not decaffeinated. The caffeine that we're getting does come
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: from coffee. The caffeine that was taken out of decaf
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: goes into other beverages that have caffeine.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Interesting.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Sanka sacrificed that.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Sacrificed the caffeine so you could get it in your
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Diet Coke, both you and the president of the United States,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: We're keeping him in business.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Why would anybody drink instant coffee with no caffeine? It's
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: like a lose-lose. That's the worst thing I've ever heard.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: Do you remember Postum? Back in the 60s, yeah.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Remember Post-Its?
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: That was horrible.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: I remember my dad used to drink that, and it
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: just smelled awful. Anyways, mostly cloudy today, a little bit warmer,
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: high 69 degrees. President Trump hosts an AI summit today
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: as the warnings continue over its possible threat to humanity.
• 18:34

• 18:44
  Speaker 5: man while sitting in his car early yesterday in brooklyn.
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: The attack happened around 3 20 a.m in front of

• 19:30

• 19:33
  Speaker 4: We're celebrating a steaming cup of Joe to get 95

• 19:42
  Speaker 4: four cups and be in the safe range because, let's
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: face it, caffeine is a stimulant. And that's its appeal.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: It makes you alert, helps you focus, and boosts your energy.
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: Your mood.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: And if you don't drink coffee, know that soda you're
• 19:52

• 20:25
  Speaker 2: local prosecutor is putting it before a grand jury so
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: that case is reopened we'll discuss it up next But
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: right now, ladies and gentlemen, starting Monday, WOR has nine
• 20:37

  Speaker 2: 5 p.m. Enter it on our website and you could
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: win a thousand bucks starting this Monday.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Well, just a horrendous case coming to light at a
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Ivy League school, Cornell University in Tompkin County. Allegedly, last year,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: in 2024, a woman was gang raped at a party.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: And not only was she gang raped, but apparently there
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: were all of these invitations sent out to guys saying that,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: come here, that we're going to have a party and
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: there is going to be this gang rape. And so
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: they actually advertised this. And the woman who was now
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: known as Jane Doe originally didn't file any charges. Originally,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: she actually sent texts to one of the guys saying
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: that she had fun. Let's do it again next time.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Skip the ketamine. Yeah, she was given ketamine, which is
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: an anesthetic as well as a drug. And she was
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: snorting that. She was plied with alcohol, and there was marijuana.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: And she says she was completely out of it. Now,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: the district attorney's office now, after all this time, is
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: reopening the case. They never had a case in the
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: first place. Cornell University was handling it by themselves, and
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: it was very quiet, and it's as if it didn't happen.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: And now, this woman, Jane Doe, is suing the university.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Here's her attorney, Thomas Gioffra.
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: Was any meaningful investigation or follow-up done? The answer would
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: be no. They had the Instagram... Snapchat.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Snapchat.
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: They had this Snapchat post inviting men, 57 men, to
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: participate in a gang rape.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: They did nothing. Nothing.
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: They had that. That was the classic smoking gun.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: Any.
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: Thoughtful police department, any thoughtful district attorney's office would have
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: run with that and tried to make a case.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: They did nothing.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I will say this, the local police did investigate it
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: early on and she said at the time it was
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: all consensual. And what is being discussed now and argued now,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: is it possible that to realize a year later that,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: oh my God, I was gang raped. I didn't want
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: any of that. And what makes it all extremely difficult
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: is that at that point where she was, did she
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: even have the ability to give consent? She was out.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: She was out. At that point, everything should stop. So
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: this case is going to go forward. It's going to
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: be in front of a grand jury right now. A
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: huge black eye for Cornell University for covering this all up.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: And we will see what happens, but it's going to
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: be a case that has already gotten national attention.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Well, Cornell is in the eye of the storm for
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: a number of reasons. AOC was up in Ithaca, Cornell
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Students 2000 this weekend. She talked about this case as
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: part of her presentation to get out a Democratic vote.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Hassan Piker was just up there, made national headlines. You know,
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: there's been questions about that one student who made anti-Semitic remarks, remember,
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: and then wasn't hired but was welcomed back to the university.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Then I think the university president ran over a demonstrator's foot, remember,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: a pro-Palestinian demonstrator. So normally Cornell is the more, I
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: would say, quieter of the many Ivy colleges.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: No longer.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: It's like Cornell makes headlines every other month.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Compared to all the things you mentioned, this is horrendous.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: This is especially horrendous. And what makes it so horrendous
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: is they purposely were giving her alcohol and ketamine to
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: make sure that she wasn't going to put up a fight.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: And I don't care what she said the next day.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: I don't care what her texts are. The fact that
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: she did that means that she did not have the
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: ability to consent.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: And this is parents' worst nightmares. Kids go away to school.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: And they may get involved in activities that normally, if
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: they were living at home, they would never even think twice. But,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: you know, the peer pressure and whether on the young
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: lady's part, the young man's part, to a situation that, again,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: is horrific.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: Horrific.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: That's where they could have used you, Natalie.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: Remember, we discussed that. You know, rent a mother when
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: your kids are.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Away at school so somebody could be minding their P's
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: and Q's.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I think they needed more than a mother. Yeah.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: But.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: They needed common sense they needed uh right i'll tell
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: you what the only thing that i feel good about
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: in this whole thing is that the invitation went out
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: to 57 and 50 said no so uh you know
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: it gives me hope that they aren't all scumbags.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: I i'm actually shocked that seven said yes that to
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: me i won but seven i know i know that's
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: the disturbing part to me.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: And they plied her with to make sure that she
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: couldn't put up a fight and to make sure that
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: she couldn't say no. She doesn't remember most of it.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: She said she was out of it for the entire thing.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Ketamine will put you out. Oh, yeah.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Look, she's going to go before the grand jury, no doubt,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: to get indictments. But then if it does go to trial,
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: they're going to try to rip her apart, every defense
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: attorney representing all seven, because you're not going to have
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: a collective defense. They're all going to have their own
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: defense counsel. And they're going to take opportunities to try
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: to shred apart her integrity. Like, why would you have
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: even committed to this to begin with? Right.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: And the texts are bad. Right. The texts afterwards are bad.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: And look, I hope a jury can see past a
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: lot of that stuff because, you know, obviously she was embarrassed.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Obviously she liked this one guy. who set this up.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: And if you read his text, he's playing her. Oh,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry that happened. No, no, no. I mean,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting, though. You're right. You're absolutely right.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: They're going to have a decent defense because of her
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: own words. But I hope this sends a lesson across
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the country. Every household in a rural town gets $ 10, 000.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: How about that? Wouldn't you like to be that town? Oh,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: there's a catch. A data center comes with it. What
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: would you do? We'll talk about it next.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Well, Larry, Natalie, our audience, the days of trying to
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: build and open up an AI data filing center in
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: a community without them knowing it is over. You'll never
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: get under the radar screen. So in this particular community,
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Pocono Foothills. in Hazel Township, population 10,460. They tried to
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: sweeten up the locals. First, they paid for all the
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: amusement rides at the annual Italian festival over the summer.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Everybody gets the ride for free. Then they made a
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: public vow that they would fund the local schools, the
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: fire departments, other services. They would do all that. Then
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: they had the community meeting. And they got this tremendous blowback.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: They figured, well, wait a second, we sugared them up.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Why are they so hostile? So somebody in the corporate
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: chain and in this particular corporation, it's North Point Development,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: which is trying to build the AI data filing center
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: and operate it.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: They decided, let's try one more ploy.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Let's send a personalized letter to each of the 10,460
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: residents of Hazel Township and and offer them $ 10, 000, no
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: strings attached. That's a total of $ 45 million. Now, understand
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: the average income of the residents of Hazel Township is $ 60, 000.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: That would cover six months rent in most places, fund groceries, gas.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: And most said absolutely no. We do not want an
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: AI data filing center in our backyard. You're going to
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: suck up the water. Our utility rates are going to
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: go up. And more importantly, what are you going to
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: do about the noise that is nonstop? So even in
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: this case. Larry, you couldn't bribe them. Now, will they
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: raise the ante? Will they then say, well, it's 45 million.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: It's nothing to us. Let's do 20,000. Let's do 30, 40,
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: 50,000 and then turn neighbor versus neighbor. Yeah, we'll see
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: what happens. I mean, just to explain what Hazel Township is,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: when you hear the pocono's you think it's oh it's
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: up in the mountains it's not in the mountains in
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: the foothills of the mountains and it's it's a nice
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: really quaint community small as you heard about 10 000
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: people and um but if you look at it it
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: looks like it it's out of a movie set And
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: I will tell you from getting to know the people
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: of that part of the country and that part of Pennsylvania,
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: they're stubborn. They're a stubborn breed and they like the
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: old ways. They like their town exactly the way it is.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: If you go through any of the towns in the Poconos,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: they are pristine and they make most of their money
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: from people that go skiing and vacation. That's where they
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: make almost all of their money. So when a data
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: center comes in, think about it for a second, that
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: threatens everything. That threatens their way of life. It threatens
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: not only their community and the way it looks and
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: how nice it is, but.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: It also threatens tourism. It threatens their only industry. So
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: I can see why they're saying that. No, I'm sure
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: they're saying you've got to give us a lot more
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: than that to make up for what this town's going
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: to lose.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Remember, originally, like most governors, Shapiro in Harrisburg was giving
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: 10-year tax abatements. Like half in the bag Murphy did
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: in New Jersey, like other. Oh, yeah, we'll give you
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: tax abatements. Then all of a sudden they saw the
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: public outrage. And now Shapiro says I'm banning nondisclosure agreements
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: between local governments and data center companies. Everything must be transparent.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: I want to put a hold on development because they
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: feel the political winds. They feel the anger.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Of the public. And this crosses partisan lines. Republicans, Democrats, Independents.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: That's mostly Republicans. In Hazel Township, that's mostly Republicans. And
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: it's really interesting what they are upset about. It's not
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: so much the strain on the water supply. It's not
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: so much the strain on the environment. They are worried
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: about the way they look. They are a town that
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: looks like it's out of Mayberry, and they don't want
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: some high-tech data center or high-tech anything in that town.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: So 50,000 apiece won't do it, Larry? 60, 70?
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Because, you know, this company has endless resources, the billions
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: that are being poured into Wall Street now to develop
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: AI data filing centers. As Michael Bloomberg said, everybody has
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: a price. No, that's not the case, Michael Bloomberg. We'll see,
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: because this is their identity. This is their culture. This
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: is their heritage. Are they willing to sell that?
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'm not sure. The people in the Poconos,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: they are a proud bunch, and I'd be really shocked.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: I'd be really shocked if they had a price and
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: they give in. You're right. It might cause some turmoil
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: in town.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: I concur.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: It may cause some turmoil. There might be some people
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: that want it.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: You know, a guy like Bloomberg thinks everybody has a price.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: That's just not the case in America. We are so
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: much to talk with John Decker about. And also, we
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: got word John Decker had several questions. Trump loves our
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: White House correspondent, John Decker.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: We'll hear what he had to say and what he
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: asked coming up after the news.
