TRANSCRIPT 🔗
00:00:00
Speaker 1: Well, it's Veterans Day, and we're all in the house today. And I just want to bifurcate this, if I can, Larry and Natalie, because Veterans Day, unlike Memorial Day, how many times have you heard people say, oh, happy Memorial Day?
00:00:16
Speaker 2: No, no, no.
00:00:17
Speaker 3: Schmuck putts. Oh, God. Schmendrick.
00:00:21
Speaker 1: It's a day we honor our dead. Memorial Day. Honor the dead. Those who actually served in combat.
00:00:28
Speaker 3: You honor them.
00:00:29
Speaker 1: Veterans Day is for anyone who ever served, wartime, peacetime, National Guard, anybody who had any kind of military involvement. And it's celebrated differently in different parts of the country. So, for instance, I found out that in Wisconsin, it's the only state that is not an official paid holiday for government employees. And you would say, gee, I wonder why, Wisconsin. You know, that goes from left to right. That's the one state politically that always vacillates. But here in New York City, I can speak directly to it and actually to New Jersey. I prefer the New Jersey way in many of the areas of the state. New York City, all the kids are off from school. Are they learning about Veterans and Veterans Day? So what I did yesterday, Larry, is I went to the Gray Pupaya. This is right on 72nd and Broadway where a lot of the kids come after high school because they get a few dogs, you know, for less than $ 10 and something to wash it down with. And they stand outside, and these were pretty bright kids. I said, they talk about Veterans Day this week at all, you know, Monday or Tuesday, you know, leading up to the holiday?
00:01:45
Speaker 4: No.
00:01:46
Speaker 1: Do you know what Veterans Day is? They sort of flummoxed. Is there any intent to discuss Veterans Day, do you think? Like in history class, you have current events. Naturally, when I brought up current events, they said to me exactly what my sons have said to me who go to public schools, that they don't discuss current events because it might upset some people. So if we have a Veterans Day holiday where school is out, How is that benefiting a new generation to understand what Veterans Day is, as opposed to what I've seen and I participated in many years ago in New Jersey, some of the smaller towns, where you go to school on Veterans Day and they dedicate the whole curriculum to veterans visiting, coming in, speaking in the assembly, educating the youngsters and even the teachers and the teacher's aides into their service and the history. Veterans Day. So I prefer the New Jersey way. I know the big cities there, they don't do it. Newark, Elizabeth, Patterson, I think Trenton, they follow, you know, New York City. But they're the ones who probably need it the most, those kids in the inner city.
00:02:58
Speaker 3: But you can do both. You can talk about Veterans Day. You can honor veterans the day before and then have off on that day. You can say, this is why you're going to have off tomorrow. You can bring a veteran in. I know they'd love to come in and talk about their service. And that's the way you should do it. Because the federal government and the states, they take off. All the government buildings, they're off. But they don't insist that everybody else take off. And the horrible part about it, the worst part about it, if you have a company... And you have a veteran showing up to work today. You didn't give him the day off for all that he potentially did for us or was willing to do for us. Shame on you. Every veteran should be, if they don't have a state law, if they don't make it so that everybody's off, then you should give the veterans in your department the day off. And if you didn't do it this year, I understand. You probably weren't thinking about it. Do it next year. Just everybody that served in your office, everybody that served in your company, just call them in and say, you know what, take tomorrow off. Because why? If you're going to have this special day to honor veterans, do something for the veterans. Do something for the people that served. About one and a half percent of the people actually protect this country. And God bless them. God bless that they're there standing fortress against anything that may happen to this country. They deserve something. Good litmus test. Tomorrow, Larry, there'll be a vote in the New York City Council, which hates the military. They've given millions of dollars to illegal aliens. They've given bupkis.
00:04:54
Speaker 1: They've given hugats to veterans. So Frank Murano, who's a city council person from South Shore of Staten Island, Republican conservative, has a bill that'll be voted on the floor. if you are a disabled veteran, you should not have to pay property taxes in New York City.
00:05:12
Speaker 3: Makes sense, right?
00:05:12
Speaker 5: Right.
00:05:13
Speaker 3: That's great. That's a great law.
00:05:14
Speaker 1: Disabled, too. If you're able, you know, you got to pay property tax. So it's bifurcated the proposed law. I'm going to try to be in city council chambers to name and shame any of those who actually vote against this. You would think, What's your opposition to this? Disabled veterans not having them pay New York City property tax?
00:05:37
Speaker 3: Makes sense to me.
00:05:38
Speaker 1: But there are going to be some in that city council who are going to say absolutely a thousand times no.
00:05:42
Speaker 3: And there's small things you can do today, by the way, to make veterans feel special. If you know somebody in your neighborhood or your family or you know somebody at work that is a veteran, just say thank you. Just thank you for being there, even if you didn't go to war just in case. that you were there to serve us. And you know what else we'd love? We would love to hear from you, not only about what we're talking about today, what should be done for Veterans Day, but also if you served, we would love to hear your story. So go ahead and leave

us a talk back. It's very easy to do. You go to the iHeartRadio app and leave us that talk back. Say anything you want to say, especially if you're a veteran. You could win a Curtis Lee and Larry Menti in the morning t-shirt, which is going to be awarded every day to our favorite talk back of the morning. And while you're on the free iHeartRadio app, be sure to set a preset for 710WOR. And don't forget, the best talk back of the week takes home a C-Crane radio. Now, we don't do enough on Veterans Day, and I'm glad we're talking about this today because municipalities that don't do enough... municipalities where the city council and the mayor and all the administrators are taking off, but they don't have it so the schools take off, shame on you. If you don't have a parade in your town, if you don't have some type of ceremony, praising veterans, remembering veterans, taking the veterans in your town and giving them a day and applauding for them, shame on you.
00:07:17
Speaker 1: Now, Natalie, you're out there in traditional New Jersey. What's it been like in the school systems there? Because in New York City, public Catholic schools, charter schools, they do not have discussion of Veterans Day either before, actually the day of, they're off, or after.
00:07:34
Speaker 6: Right.
00:07:34
Speaker 7: You know, I believe my kids went to school on Veterans Day. It's been a while since they were in the public school system.
00:07:42
Speaker 3: But I do remember.
00:07:43
Speaker 7: They always had one of those veterans assemblies.
00:07:46
Speaker 1: And it was so nice.
00:07:47
Speaker 7: It was so personal because they asked anybody in the school, if they had a veteran in their life, to invite them to come to the assembly. And then they would sit and they would talk to the kids. And I remember my kids always knew, oh, you know, so-and-so's grandpa, he was in, you know.
00:08:02
Speaker 4: The war.
00:08:02
Speaker 7: And they all knew them. And they, you know, it was something special.
00:08:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's great. That's wonderful. Yeah. Except that we need to do more. I mean, I understand that. And everybody tries to do something just to make up for the fact that they're not doing enough. But this should be a day like we should have parades. We should be watching the TV at nine o'clock and watching a parade.
00:08:26
Speaker 1: I would have one caveat to that, whether it's a wreath laying or a parade, depending on the size of the community. Politicians haven't served. They shouldn't be there. The parade should be for veterans. I've been in enough of these to see like half the people in the parade have never served anything. It's like, how about a parade for the veterans, whether they served in peacetime?
00:08:48
Speaker 3: And then the politicians always in front.
00:08:51
Speaker 1: Many of them who vote against veteran benefits and taking care of veterans and taking positions that are anti-military. Why would you be in the freaking parade? Just stay home.
00:09:05
Speaker 3: I don't understand at all. And, you know, one of the reasons I think the veterans aren't treated as well as they should be is because, and this is the most abhorrent reason in the world, it's because they're not enough of a voting bloc. There's not enough of them to have power. They're willing to serve our country. They're willing to sacrifice their lives for our country. But guess what? There's just not enough of you. So we don't really have to pay attention. Now, two things to look at today. The mayor, I'm sure, has been invited, Zoran Mandami, to the wreath laying that begins the parade in lower Manhattan. What will he say if he speaks?
00:09:46
Speaker 1: And then the president of the United States, the tradition of the presidency is they go to Arlington National Cemetery and they lay a wreath. He's going with his wife, Melania. But he is aware of a huge statue that was erected in the National Mall. It's called the Foot Soldier, painted in all gold. It talks about his five deferments that he was granted during the Vietnam War. I hope, I hope he doesn't bring up the fact if he is making statements at the Arlington National Cemetery today, that he could have ended the Vietnam War in a week.
00:10:23
Speaker 3: No, he's not. You love bringing that up, but no, he's not going to, obviously.
00:10:27
Speaker 1: I didn't hear any Republicans criticizing him for that. That was the dumbest, most stupid thing out of the many stupid things that he said.
00:10:35
Speaker 3: Right, keep going.
00:10:36
Speaker 1: And the crowd behind him, yay! All the MAGA Colts.
00:10:40
Speaker 3: Kool-Aid drinkers. So this, you bringing this up today is tainting Veterans Day. No, it's not.
00:10:45
Speaker 5: Yes, it is.
00:10:45
Speaker 3: It's silly. It's just silly. Just keep your eye on the ball. And don't go into your derangement syndrome. I don't think he's going to talk. I think he's going to lay the wreath and he's going to leave. I see. Because he's done that in the past. And if he talks. Because he may be answering questions. He wouldn't say anything about the Vietnam War. It's just, it's silly. It's silly that you said that he tweeted it last night.
00:11:07
Speaker 1: Would you agree it was silly that he said that? That he could end the Vietnam War in one week?
00:11:12
Speaker 3: I have learned to not, I've learned just to pay attention to what Donald Trump does. Because, why?
00:11:18
Speaker 5: Why?
00:11:19
Speaker 3: Because it doesn't mean anything. That didn't mean anything. It didn't mean a thing. It didn't mean a thing except to people that don't like him like you.
00:11:27
Speaker 1: And the Ukraine war in a day when he's elected, right?
00:11:30
Speaker 3: You'll talk about that forever. Drink the Kool-Aid, Larry. No, I'm not drinking the Kool-Aid. I can criticize what he does. Not what he says. What he tweets. He said it, Larry. It's silly. At the rally in Iowa before all of his Kool-Aid drinking MAGA
supporters.
00:11:47
Speaker 8: Okay.
00:11:47
Speaker 3: All right. Well, that's the biggest story of the week.
00:11:49
Speaker 5: All right. All right, Larry.
00:11:50
Speaker 3: Oh, my God. You don't listen to anything that the president says.
00:11:53
Speaker 1: That is the biggest story of the week. Only what he does.
00:11:56
Speaker 3: It is so small in comparison to what's going on. You don't agree with that? It is so small in comparison to what's important.
00:12:03
Speaker 1: I love the fact that you said you don't pay attention to what he says, only what he does.
00:12:08
Speaker 3: Okay. Now I know. Yeah. Thank you. I learned that a long, long time ago.
00:12:14
Speaker 8: Thank you.
00:12:14
Speaker 3: Do you feel like you gained something from that? Oh, thank you. But up next, it's a good time story.
00:12:23
Speaker 1: An autistic boy who could have perished, saved by a community and the police, as you know, with autism, they're attracted to the water. And he may have been moments away from perishing. Boy, you're going to feel great about this story.
00:12:37
Speaker 3: Well, we're just learning about this search in Totawa, New Jersey, and it was a frantic search for a six-year-old nonverbal boy with autism, only identified as Jacob, who climbed out of his bedroom window and then just was wandering around the neighborhood. Apparently, he was knocking on doors and then running away before people people could answer. And, you know, his parents were frantic. They called the local police, and then the search was on, and they were, the whole neighborhood, a lot of the people in Totawa got involved in this, trying to find this little boy. The police officers even said at one point, and they seemed emotional, they said, look, we're all parents. We're all parents. We all came together. This is a tight community, and so everybody is involved in this. And then somebody got the idea, maybe he was attracted to the river. And immediately they were fearful because it's the Passaic River. And a little boy, a six-year-old boy can drown in that. And as they got closer and they got closer, they saw a slide mark that he had slid down. And they found him clinging to a branch in the water. that he had slid down the mud. And they don't know how long he was there, but again, he's nonverbal, he's autistic. And the police immediately started a human chain because they didn't want to fall on the river either. And they save this little boy. And patrolman Fina Montrania put it well.
00:14:25
Speaker 9: Completely drenched from head to toe, full of mud, what appeared to be vomit on his chest. I sat with him and I was able to comfort him and clean him up a little bit as much as I could. I have some sensory toys in my duty bag for these cases.
00:14:40
Speaker 10: I was able to give him some toys.
00:14:42
Speaker 3: She had sensory toys in her patrol car just in case, just in case she was ever with a child that was that upset to give them something to do to take their mind off. how horrible it is.
00:14:55
Speaker 1: And autism, one of the factors is they're attracted to water. So that if they do get away from any supervision, they'll go to the closest body of water. And many of them are found to have drowned because of that.
00:15:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, luckily. Great story.
00:15:12
Speaker 1: Great story.
00:15:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, luckily this boy was able to grab onto a branch. We have a lot of people that want to talk about Veterans Day.
00:15:19
Speaker 7: I don't believe that any veteran that has been in battle should have to pay truly any kind of tax.
00:15:29
Speaker 6: They put their butts on the line, their lives.
00:15:33
Speaker 11: And the least we can do is that.
00:15:37
Speaker 12: They deserve a lot more.
00:15:39
Speaker 11: They deserve everything.
00:15:41
Speaker 13: And really, I think it's really disgraceful.
00:15:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what? It's a great thought, and it would increase enrollment, too. People would join up.
00:15:50
Speaker 1: Good litmus test tomorrow. City Council, Frank Marano's bill. so that the infirm veterans don't have to pay their property taxes, residents of New York City.
00:16:00
Speaker 3: I have a feeling that may not pass.
00:16:04
Speaker 5: Larry Curtis, on this Veterans Day, my family is remembering the Honorary Grand Marshal of the 2026 Throgs Neck Veterans Day Parade that was held this past Sunday. Donald A. Mahoney was a hero who served the Vietnam and passed earlier this last year.
00:16:26
Speaker 3: Well, thanks for calling in and telling us about him and remembering him.
00:16:31
Speaker 6: I kind of finally probably one thing I agree with Mr.
00:16:35
Speaker 3: Menti about giving the veterans day off if.
00:16:38
Speaker 14: They don't have it.
00:16:39
Speaker 3: My question is, why haven't why didn't they do that from the very beginning? Only the veterans should have the day off.
00:16:48
Speaker 5: Only them.
00:16:49
Speaker 3: Not everybody else that didn't fight or didn't, you know, serve in our country. They are the ones that should have the day off. We agree. The Mr. Menti guy. Are there bells and whistles going off?
00:17:02
Speaker 7: Confetti is coming down from the studio.
00:17:04
Speaker 3: This is a miracle. I'm going to stop while I'm ahead. Let's get to Daria Alvinger with the 630 News.
00:17:13
Speaker 5: Morning, guys.
00:17:13
Speaker 15: Sunny today with a high of 62 degrees. And then the forecast takes a big change in the coming days. It is Veterans Day today, and we are honoring those who served with events across the country. The big parade stepping off later today from Madison Square Park. Mayor Milam Donnie will not be in the parade. Instead, he's going to serve meals in the Bronx to vets. Syed Musahib is now charged with murder and the fatal stabbing of a Brooklyn jogger, a grand jury handing up its indictment. Meanwhile, there is a wake today for the jogger.
00:17:41
Speaker 16: 28-year-old Katie
Suarez was running near Shore Parkway on October 30th when she was allegedly attacked by 27-year-old Syed Mohassib, who has been indicted on a top count of second-degree murder. Court documents show Mohassib told detectives he went to the bike path carrying a knife. because he thought people were going to kill his family. The case leaves parents and city officials with questions about how he was able to work in a school. Suarez's family remembers her as a beautiful soul with a full heart of love, whose kindness touched everyone fortunate enough to know her.
00:18:11
Speaker 3: Natalie Migliori, WOR News.
00:18:14
Speaker 15: A week after that stinging defeat in the midterms, House Republicans came together to table plans to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
00:18:21
Speaker 3: The motion is adopted.
00:18:25
Speaker 17: Ahead of the vote, Hegseth, defiant, going before cameras, attacking the effort to impeach him as slander and sabotage.
00:18:32
Speaker 18: It's a farce and it's a stunt. And everybody... knows it.
00:18:37
Speaker 17: The articles of impeachment put forward by Republican Thomas Massey. In them, Hegseth accused of illegally launching the war with Iran, endangering American troops, and illegally killing civilians in boat strikes against alleged drug smugglers in the waters off the U.S.
00:18:52
Speaker 15: ABC's Alex Stone. Republicans will be the minority in the 120th Congress, and yesterday they elected their new leadership. Ohio's Jim Jordan will be the House minority leader and the current Senate majority leader. South Dakota's John Thune will serve as the chamber's minority leader. Pope Leo visits Peru today. It's the last leg on his 12-day Latin American tour. Knicks win, Devils lose. Next news, 7 o'clock, bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
00:19:19
Speaker 3: Thank you, Daria.
00:19:20
Speaker 1: Add another parade to the many parades that the mayor will not attend. He will not be at the Veterans Day parade. But up next, we're going to talk the new minority leader of the House, Jim Jordan, without his jacket on. Soon, you rang, will remain the minority leader now of the U.S.
00:19:37
Speaker 5: Senate.
00:19:38
Speaker 1: Next week, it's Hakeem Jeffries and Schumer's audition, but some are already rumbling that one or both should not be in their leadership.
00:19:47
Speaker 3: All up next. it wasn't a slam dunk curtis jim jordan was elected house gop leader the vote was 106 to 73 so it was certainly far from unanimous uh the outgoing speaker voted for him thought it was a good choice.
00:20:05
Speaker 19: He's an honest broker he's a good man he's a fighter And I think that that's the signal that is being sent here, that they're ready.
00:20:12
Speaker 3: We are ready to dig in for the fight. So let's hear from Jordan real quick, and then I'll tell you what I think about it. And Curtis, we'll talk about him as the choice.
00:20:20
Speaker 20: Over the next two years, House Republicans will fight for American families. When Democrats offer more government, we'll offer more freedom. And we will bring that fight in committee, on the floor, and on the stump every day.
00:20:34
Speaker 17: Single day.
00:20:36
Speaker 3: There's no question to me that with Stephen Miller now as chief of staff and Jim Jordan as the Republican leader in the House, they are ready for a fight. And so they have two of the best fighters they have out there to take on the Democrats. And then I think Donald Trump, who is the best of them all, Donald Trump will be able to play good cop. So he's going to surround himself with bad cops and he's going to try to be the good cop. Now, how long he can be the good cop and keep silent and let the others do the talking, that's to be determined. But I believe that seems to be the plan. All right.
00:21:17
Speaker 1: No doubt a fighter, collegiate wrestler at Ohio State University, Jim Jordan. But will he be forced to wear his jacket? Because in most public appearances, when he's surrounded by his fellow congressmen and congresswoman Republicans, he's always wearing the white shirt. In a white shirt tie, no jacket.
00:21:34
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:21:35
Speaker 3: And sometimes the tie's not all the way up to the top. So does he have to wear the jacket?
00:21:40
Speaker 1: Is there a rule, a Roberts rule of order, a sergeant of arms in the House that tells him, Mr. Speaker, excuse me, Mr. Minority Leader, you have to wear your jacket?
00:21:51
Speaker 3: Well, he wears a jacket when he goes in because there is a rule. You're right. There is a rule. Remember, they changed the rule in the Senate so that Fetterman could could walk around with his sweatshirt on. But they didn't change the rule in the House. And now he says he doesn't like to wear a jacket. It feels like cumbersome, especially when he has to talk like when he's chairman and when he's ahead of those committees. Um, he, he wants to keep it off. So you see him the most you ever see him is when he's a chairman of the committee. Cause that gets covered all of the time because he, you know, he was in the judicial committee and, uh, he was going after, especially during the Biden administration. He was, he was one of the stars of the Republican party. So, yeah, I think you're going to see him in his jacket probably, uh, if, and when he gets sworn in, that might've happened in private already. But you are not going to see him with that jacket on when there's committee hearings.
00:22:49
Speaker 1: And he will be confrontational. Now, on the other hand, the Republicans, now in the minority in the Senate, decided to keep Thune from North Dakota.
00:22:58
Speaker 3: You rang. He reminds me of Lurch.
00:23:00
Speaker 1: Although I don't know how he always has a tan now, if you're spending time in North Dakota. But put that aside. Remember, he was the one who would not accede to the wishes of the president. on the filibuster vote, you know, the president was saying, particularly on his
bill that would demand that you have to show a national government photo ID when you go to vote, in addition to other things. He said, no, no, no, no cloture, because, you know, if we do it, then the Dems are going to do it. So now we'll see if, in fact... Chuck Schumer, who it's thought of as possibly remaining the majority leader, although the Democrats choose their leadership next week. Would he immediately say that he would do what Trump wanted to be done now that they're in the majority?
00:23:47
Speaker 3: Well, that was Trump's argument all along. He said, look, the Democrats are going to do it anyway. You know, as soon as they get in. And many of them campaigned on that and said they were going to do it when they get in. So, yeah, it would be like the Democrats to do it. It always turns back around and bites them on the butt. That's why the Supreme Court is the way it is, because they got rid of a filibuster that on Supreme Court nominees, and then the Republicans won in a landslide, and they put in person after person, nominee after nominee after nominee. But it's interesting you talked about Chuck Schumer because we talked about it yesterday that six of the new members have all said they're not voting for Schumer, including Troy Jackson, Amy Andrews, El-Sayed as well. But now Bernie Sanders.
00:24:39
Speaker 19: I personally have known Chuck Schumer for over 30 years. And I like Chuck. Nobody who works harder than Chuck Schumer. But in my view, the time is now for change. And I will not be supporting Chuck to be reelected as the Democratic leader.
00:25:00
Speaker 1: You know how well they know one another? They went to the same high school, Madison High School. Different years. They didn't go together. But they were both snorers in Brooklyn. But he's thrown down the gauntlet. I'm thinking here, though, just in terms of the majority of the people who are already in the Senate, who are Democrats, most of them moderates, they're going to keep him because he also has another thing. He holds the purse, the Senate finance purse. A lot of these winners are going to have to pay on bills. You know, they've accumulated bills. Everything hasn't been covered yet. And instead of having to go out and do post-fundraisers to make up for your bills, Chuck may just say, look, who's your daddy? Who's going to take care of your bills? I control the Senate Democratic But does he lose that control if he loses the Speaker's job?
00:25:54
Speaker 3: And here's the thing. Sanders has now seven votes. That would do it. So do you think that he is cheering for Sullivan now to win in Alaska? I never thought about that.
00:26:06
Speaker 1: Peltola's not going to vote for him. And we know that in Mississippi, if the Democrats supersedes, and we're going to talk about that later on in the show, I don't think he would vote for Chuck. Because remember, they went to Chuck a month ago, and they said, Chuck, we're on the cusp of.
00:26:21
Speaker 3: Winning the Senate seat, Mississippi African-American. And he said, nope. Yeah.
00:26:27
Speaker 5: No.
00:26:28
Speaker 3: He's in some trouble unless the Republicans pull it out in Mississippi and Alaska. One guy that's for him, though— Of all people, John Fetterman.
00:26:38
Speaker 21: I absolutely stand with Schumer. I'm going to vote for Schumer. He helped recruit a great class. And I can't imagine why you would vote for someone like Van Hollen with no record of doing anything.
00:26:53
Speaker 3: Fetterman's now putting all of his chips in the Schumer lot because now if Schumer doesn't win, there's already a dislike of Fetterman. He's going to be on committees that nobody ever heard of. When we come back, I heard something about voting in New Jersey, and I see now online it's been shared a couple of times. I still want to check into it, but you know what? I'll tell you what I heard, and you can determine if you believe this is true, because it is outrageous about the voting rolls. We'll talk about it when I come back. I got a call yesterday from somebody in state government in New Jersey. We were just talking about things. And then he said, have you heard this yet? And he told me that in New Jersey, remember, you remember the whole Mike, Mikey Sherrill thing when she came out and said that there were people that were automatically registered by accident that were non-citizens, 6,000 of them. and that she was going to fix that. Like they were going to go through all of it and they were going to fix everything. And then the government, the federal government went after her and sued her. And she's been fighting that now in court. So there hasn't been a definitive ruling yet. It's been appealed and appealed and appealed. So right now we have to take Mikey Sherrill's word for it. I guess we don't really have to, that everything is fixed. Well, listen to this. 19 of 21 counties in New Jersey had over 100% more voters than adult citizens. Union County had 111.3%, which means there were people on the voter rolls more than there were adult citizens in Union County. 49,000 more were on in Union County. Let's take Essex County.
00:29:01
Speaker 22: 106%.
00:29:02
Speaker 3: They had 34,000 more people, more people than are in the census as being, you know, adults there. Middlesex County, 105.7%. County after county after county. Statewide, here you go, here's the adult population of New Jersey, 6,664,848. Registered voters for adults, 6,740,000. 164,848 registered voters for adults, 6,747,375, 100,000 more people registered to vote than they are actually in it. So you would think they have to be all non-citizens, right? And it has to be. Now, some of them may be dead. I get that. But not that many. Green card, visa, but a lot of illegals. You're on to something here, Larry. You got to do the deep dive. You know Jersey back and forth.
00:30:12
Speaker 1: I'll bounce it off of Mario Kranjak, who was Englewood Cliffs mayor. He ran for governor, you know, very pro-Trump in
the Republican primary loss. But he's been our legal aid to the Guardian Angels for years. He can do the deep dive, but your deep dive will be more impressive, more extensive. But boy, this might, it may be something to this.
00:30:34
Speaker 3: Of all of the, now remember the problem that Mikey Sherrill said was automatic registration. The people go to get their license to drive and they automatically register to vote. They can decline that. And a lot of the people, to their credit, many of the non-citizens said, no, I'm not a citizen. And they were registered anyway. So when we're talking about all these numbers, when we talk about the 6,700,000, 48% of them were automatic registration. Almost half of them were automatic registration. So let me just put all of this together for you and say, they didn't fix the problem. This is still happening. So she came out to sound good and throw the former governor Murphy under the bus and say, we discovered this. We're going to fix it. Don't worry, New Jersey. It's all done. So then when the Trump administration said, okay, we need proof of that. We need to see what you're doing. She said, no, no, no, no, no. You can just trust me. Stay out of this.
00:31:44
Speaker 1: You know, this is like it doubles up with the story you brought to our attention from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where there were more votes than voters.
00:31:55
Speaker 3: Remember the big investigation taking place there? I'm really glad you brought that up. I'm glad you brought that up because 20 states across the country, almost all Democratic states and two swing states— Don't require proof of citizenship to get a driver's license, and they have automatic registration. So this is a much bigger problem than New Jersey, and there has to be an investigation across the country. But state after state after state, just like voter ID for some reason, they didn't want voter ID even though all Americans want it. State after state after state is fighting this. Oh, this is good, Larry.
00:32:35
Speaker 1: You do the deep dive and I'll give you tactical air support with Mario Kranjic and we'll compare notes.
00:32:42
Speaker 3: When we come back, well, Pete Hegseth will not go quietly into the night. They've already tried to impeach him. More impeachments are coming and more impeachment attempts at least are coming. And he is fighting like the fighter he is. We'll talk about that. After the 7 o'clock news.
00:33:04
Speaker 1: Yesterday, in an orgasmatic frenzy, Congressman Massey, on his way out from Kentucky, he'll be gone as of January 1st, decided to make a parting shot against Pete Hexeth, the Secretary of War for the Trump administration, by using a House procedure to basically call for a snap vote, an instant vote, on impeachment for Pete Hegseth. He gave like eight terms of what this impeachment was, and he couldn't have been happier. I mean, he was the bell of the ball. All the reporters were gathered around Massey. But right before the vote
was to take place, Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of War, came out for a press conference. He ended up not taking any questions. It was early yesterday. I think we were still on the air, Larry, towards the end of our show. And man, he was fired up. He was flexing. He was giving, but he wasn't taking any incoming. He made his statements and then he left out the side door and waited for the result of the vote.
00:34:10
Speaker 3: Can we hear some of the things that he said yesterday?
00:34:12
Speaker 18: What one disgruntled and defeated congressman is attempting is not oversight and it's not accountability. It's a political spectacle, a personal manifesto driven by ego and resentment.
00:34:28
Speaker 3: He was good. You want some more? Absolutely. I'm not going to interfere with him because he was like a Gatling gun.
00:34:35
Speaker 18: Let's be clear about what this resolution actually does. It tells our enemies, Iran, the cartels, every adversary watching, that the United States will actually punish its own warriors and its own civilian leadership for successfully executing lawful military operations.
00:34:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, he went on to call it a stunt. He went on to, well, he used every term in the book to say this was just a farce by a disgruntled man.
00:35:04
Speaker 18: It puts a target on the backs of American warriors by signaling that Congress will undermine their missions in real time.
00:35:12
Speaker 3: This is not patriotism. This is sabotage. It seemed to me, because of the words he was saying, because how he was saying this really hurts America and it's un-American to do something like this, he knew this was going to fail. That was for the Democrats. Don't you think?
00:35:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of hard to know if he knew because one of the– situations that occurred because it was a snap vote. So it was taking place that day. He gives his speech in advance, doesn't take any incoming, you know, no questions, even though the press is all there. And within hours, there's a vote. 11 Dems were not there. Seven Republicans were not there.
00:35:56
Speaker 3: For varying reasons.
00:35:58
Speaker 1: But I'm of the opinion that originally, let's say everybody had attended or one or two couldn't for whatever reasons. He would have been impeached by the House, would have went to the Senate, would have went nowhere.
00:36:10
Speaker 3: It would still have failed.
00:36:12
Speaker 14: Yes.
00:36:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, it still would have failed because the Republicans have a majority. No doubt.
00:36:17
Speaker 1: But it would have been that victory for Massey on his way out. You see, I told you so. But I think Hakeem Jeffries, knowing that he's secure now as the Speaker of the House, and they're not going to sack the first African-American Speaker of the House, no matter how many of the progressives are angry at him because of his relationship with Israel. I think he probably sent the signal to some of the Dems, come up with a reason not to be here, 11 of them. I'll give you an example. There's Haley Stevens. Remember, she was in the eye of the storm in Michigan the last 72 hours. She was a Democratic congresswoman, barely lost to El-Said in the primary election. and then shows up with Mike Rogers at the Black Church and the discussion about the Jewish vote. It turned out 60% of the Jews there voted for El-Sayed. I don't think she wants to be seen anywhere. I don't think she'll attend another session going right on up to January 1st. I think she may be out of there. But there are probably other reasons that people didn't show. But I think Hakeem Jeffries said, no, this is ours and ours alone. Come January 3rd, we'll have our plan for Pete Hegseth. Because remember, he said... He wants to take out Pete Hexeth. A lot of people that didn't show up lost, lost in the election. I think all but one of them had lost in the election. Let's explain what happened yesterday, because if you heard the vote, you might have been a little bit confused.
00:37:42
Speaker 3: The yeas are 211. The nays are 204.
00:37:45
Speaker 14: The motion is adopted.
00:37:50
Speaker 3: So you're thinking, oh, then it passed yesterday. If the yeas were more than it had to pass, why isn't he impeached? Why isn't going to the Senate at this point? Because the vote was not for impeachment. This was the Republicans maneuvering. They had a vote on it going to committee. So now it's going to go to the judicial committee where the Republicans run the committee and it's just going to die. So that's when we say it was voted down. No, it was actually voted up. to go to a burial ground. So that bill's going to die. I just, I wanted to clear that up because when I first heard it, I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. It sounded like an A.
00:38:34
Speaker 1: Only an avid watcher of C-SPAN would have known what that meant.
00:38:38
Speaker 3: Yes. And there aren't that many of them out there.
00:38:40
Speaker 1: Our president is, we learned that our president likes to watch C-SPAN and listen to what everybody has to say.
00:38:46
Speaker 3: It becomes like a poll for him.
00:38:48
Speaker 1: He called in, remember the other night, he called in to C-SPAN at like two, three in the morning, you know, to comment. But other than if you were constantly watching C-SPAN, you would have thought like I thought, like you thought, Larry. Well, I guess Massey leaves with a victory. But it turns out, no. You know, you had seven Republicans who were out. I'm assuming they would have voted. voted in the negative, and the 11 Democrats who were not there, I assume they would have voted in the positive, that would have meant he would have been impeached.
00:39:20
Speaker 3: Right, and let's talk about the impeachment for now. Well, if they all would have showed up, the Republicans too, he still wouldn't have been impeached. But you're right, if the Democrats were the only ones that showed up. up, then they would have had enough votes. Let's talk
about what happens next with Hegseth, because you'll remember that the Speaker of the House, Jeffries, who we're assuming is going to continue as the Speaker of the House, said– I'm a hard yes. I'm a hard yes on impeaching Pete Hegseth. And there are some things that legitimately should be looked into, but they have been looked into. So Pete Hegseth, there is going to be an impeachment. The controversy right now is whether he can be defended by Todd Blanch. Todd Blanch has been out there saying, look it, I'm going to defend him. The Justice Department is going to defend him. Anybody they try to impeach, the Justice Department is going to defend. And they're saying, wait a second, that's not constitutional. And he says, no, it's absolutely constitutional. He is doing a great job.
00:40:23
Speaker 23: We very much support Pete, and we very much support the work that he's doing, working for this administration. And again, just to remember, everything that he has done, he has worked with the Department of Justice to make sure that he's operating within the law. And that's something that's missing from this entire debate about what's happening today on the Hill.
00:40:41
Speaker 3: So not only is he going to defend him, he already is doing it. He's doing the pre-trial work to say he's done a great job, he shouldn't be out there. But he has said over and over and over again, why is anybody questioning this? This is my job. This is specific in the Constitution. So my feeling is before the Hegseth thing, they're going to take this on. They want to make sure that he doesn't get Justice Department attorneys. They want to make sure he doesn't get Todd Blanch. You said he's going to handle it himself. No, there's no doubt.
00:41:16
Speaker 1: But I think in all the charges that Massey brought, you can't stick any of them on to him because the president checked off on every one of them publicly, openly. It's not like Pete Hexhead did something like blowing up speedboats off the coast of South America without the permission of the president of the United States. who, because he is so public on everything, said, good job.
00:41:41
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
00:41:42
Speaker 1: So the only one that of the charges now is when Senator Kelly of Arizona and some of the other Democrats reminded members of the services that you can reject an order. And they had constitutional grounds. But the president said, I think they're traitors. Hang them.
00:42:02
Speaker 3: Remember?
00:42:02
Speaker 1: So, again, he wasn't hanging them, Pete. But he was operating on... With the okay and the full support of the president of the United States who basically– I don't think he's had a conflict with him on anything. The other problem would be when and if he gets to that point, they bring in esteemed generals. They're both sides, particularly in the Senate, really light because they worked.
00:42:27
Speaker 3: With them over the years. Right, right, right. fired them. So he has the right
to do that. He's allowed to fire anybody. They serve at the wishes of the president and the defense secretary. So if he wants to get rid of somebody, he's allowed to do that. That's constitutional. You may think it's wrong, but it's not illegal to do that. I do want to get back to the boats that you talked about, the boats that they claim were Fisher boats, but were actually drug smugglers that he blew up and talk back yesterday said they thought that was the worst thing. There were attorneys watching in real time to give the approval on that. So it's not just Pete Hegseth that you're looking at. He was there watching it too, but they had attorneys from the Justice Department telling them whether it was a legal strike or not. So I don't think that is going to end up being as big deal as we would think. One of the things is when it's political... it doesn't matter what's right or wrong. It matters what the votes are. So this is going to be a show. They're going to get in front of the judicial committee or the oversight committee, whichever one handles it, and they're going to have this big show to make him as much of a villain as they can make him. In many of the cases, he's not going to help himself because he's going to be adversarial. He's going to shoot right back at them. It is going to be high drama. But at the end of the day... I don't think there is anything unconstitutional that he did.
00:43:57
Speaker 5: Right.
00:43:57
Speaker 1: But there are Republican senators who have already signaled on that they will vote for a trial. So there's going to be fireworks in the House, less so because that'll be a slam dunk for Hakeem Jeffries. He'll have the majority. But the actual trial for impeachment. will take place in the Senate. And some Republicans have given the green light for the child. Doesn't mean they're going to vote to impeach him, but they are going to vote to open up the hearings. And as you said, he could become his own worst enemy if he doesn't control himself.
00:44:30
Speaker 3: When we come back, we talked about a dramatic rescue in New Jersey. We've got another one.
00:44:37
Speaker 17: Five-inch TV.
00:44:38
Speaker 3: Well, Curtis, you're going to love this story. And you'll have to tell Nancy about it because I know that she's listening to Elvis Duran right now. Yeah, Z100.
00:44:47
Speaker 1: She's a fan of him and his crew.
00:44:50
Speaker 3: Not us. Never has been. It's a shame because she would love this story. There was an ambulance crew in Hudson Valley in Wallkill. that was driving down the road on Route 32 in Newburgh when they saw something in the middle of the road.
00:45:08
Speaker 10: In the distance, I thought it was a dog laying in the middle of the road. So I was like, and then we got closer, and I'm like, that's a bald eagle.
00:45:15
Speaker 3: Like, that's insane. Yeah, that's the EMT, Jessica Foster. In 10 years, she has never treated an eagle. But when she got close, she saw it was in some trouble.
00:45:28
Speaker 10: It wasn't really moving very much. It was looking around like it knew it was in some sort of distress. So we got a blanket and covered the whole body.
00:45:40
Speaker 3: Now, they think it was hit by a car, which is insane that a bald eagle could be hit by a car.
00:45:47
Speaker 1: Now, hold on a second. You said Newburgh. The Camden on the Hudson, right? I would have thought the dog was shot and killed there by the thugs in Newburgh.
00:45:58
Speaker 3: Oh my God, that's thug land. Well, it's a road on the way through. I know, I've been on it many times. You have to get through to go somewhere else. So it's not in the city itself. But you can imagine, you know, she said this is the most incredible rescue she's ever done in her life.
00:46:17
Speaker 10: I've never seen that before, which was... An incredible experience.
00:46:22
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:46:22
Speaker 3: I mean, she'll be talking about that for years. By the way, the bald eagle's fine. It was taken to an animal hospital. It did have head and neck injuries.
00:46:30
Speaker 7: The video is incredible because, you know, the eagle is just looking, you know, just looking up at everybody like, okay, thank you. And they put it in an ambulance. So they had it, they wrapped it up. They put it on, you know, kind of like a board and then they lift it up into the ambulance. The ambulance took it to the animal hospital.
00:46:49
Speaker 3: You know, hospital. They said right away they thought it was a head and neck injury. And that's why they put it on a board. I mean, that's amazing that they were able to diagnose a bird that they have never treated a bird before.
00:47:01
Speaker 1: It's amazing. There are more and more bald eagles coming into our area. There's one in Central Park. And by the way, update, I check on the barn owls every night. You know, the birders are out with their telescopes and binoculars, all five doing well. They've been displaced, but they're at a different water tower, and the adults are sweeping through Central Park at night, foraging for mice and rats to bring them back to the little baby barn owlets.
00:47:26
Speaker 3: I see the pictures and the videos online, and the pictures are amazing. I love how the owl will be up in a tree, and it just, like it's listening to music, and like it has headphones on. It just rocks back and forth and rocks back and forth. Let's get to some talkbacks.
00:47:44
Speaker 12: Good morning everybody, this is Pastor John. As me and my team serve the homeless and the folks in need in and around Penn Station, when we see veterans, we always thank them for their service. And we will do it again today, even more. It's become part of our ritual as we serve our Lord and bring Him.
00:48:04
Speaker 5: To the people.
00:48:06
Speaker 12: Veterans, police officers, are the backbone of this country. They do it willingly, honor them, we do.
00:48:14
Speaker 3: Pastor John calls in every once in a while or leaves a talk back
every once in a while. I love this guy. Have you met him?
00:48:20
Speaker 20: Oh, yeah.
00:48:20
Speaker 1: Right there in Penn Station and outside feeding the homeless. But PTSD is what many of these veterans are suffering from. They become homeless, sometimes emotionally disturbed. That's why it was great the other night at the cutting room. Both I and Nancy went to the fundraiser that Marie from 104 Classic Rock was holding. What they do is they rescue dogs from shelters. And then they customize them to the veterans so that it deals, it calms them down from their PTSD. Because apparently the veterans' hospitals do little, if anything, other than give them medication.
00:48:56
Speaker 3: They give them drugs. And sometimes the drugs are worse than the PTSD. You know, I've done many, many stories on this. And those dogs are amazing. Those dogs are amazing. The dogs are better than the medicine. Mikey Sherrill won.
00:49:14
Speaker 15: By a huge number of more votes than Murphy won by in the last election.
00:49:21
Speaker 13: Huh.
00:49:22
Speaker 24: And now we know why.
00:49:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's talking about the fact that for registered adults, registered voters, there are 114%, which you're going to say that's impossible. Yes, it is impossible. How do you get more people registered to vote than there are adults in New Jersey and county by county by county by county? Now, look, you might say, well, they died. There's 100,000 that died. Yes, but nobody gets 100%. Nobody gets 100% registered. So usually, and what, 50% vote? 60% vote? It is ridiculous. There's something going on. There has to be a bigger investigation.
00:50:10
Speaker 1: The two most corrupt Democratic counties in America are in New Jersey, Hudson County in the north, Camden County in the south. I'll bet you you go in there, that's where you'll find them.
00:50:19
Speaker 3: No, there's 19 of 21 counties. It's pervasive. It's right through the states.
00:50:23
Speaker 1: So it's spread from Hudson County, formerly Bobby Menendez, and down in Camden County.
00:50:29
Speaker 3: And here you go. This is a New Jersey response from our next talkback. Oh, Larry, stop. Nothing to see here. That's right. Nothing to see here. What is he afraid of? Checking it out.
00:50:42
Speaker 1: Now, if it turns out it's dead people, well, okay, at least you found out, Larry. But if it's all the illegals that go online, Department of Motor Vehicles, and immediately get put on the voting rolls unless they check the box, you know, come on.
00:50:58
Speaker 3: Let's be honest. How many of them check the box? But anyway.
00:51:01
Speaker 1: 7.30 and right now, let's get our news update from Daria.
00:51:05
Speaker 15: You know, you guys can go see the corruption on display at a museum in Hudson County, New Jersey.
00:51:10
Speaker 3: How's that?
00:51:11
Speaker 15: The Jersey City Museum reportedly has a desk in it that Mayor Frank Haig, who is mayor forever in Jersey City, used to have when he
would have visitors and there was a drawer. And if you would visit the mayor, he would push the drawer out.
00:51:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to make your donation. By the way, you know, Jersey City. He's sort of like an exhibit. There you go.
00:51:34
Speaker 1: But Jersey City had an illegal alien as mayor, and it wasn't that long ago.
00:51:41
Speaker 3: I'll figure that one out.
00:51:42
Speaker 5: All right.
00:51:42
Speaker 1: Hopefully a talkbacker will give us the answer to that later on in the show.
00:51:47
Speaker 25: All right.
00:51:47
Speaker 3: So there you go.
00:51:48
Speaker 15: Sunny today with a high of 62 degrees. New York traditionally marks Veterans Day with one of the nation's largest parade, and this year is not going to be any exception.
00:51:57
Speaker 24: More than 20,000 people taking part, including vets from different wars and military branches, service organizations, and community groups. NASA astronaut and U.S. Navy vet Sonny Williams is the Grand Marshal.
00:52:09
Speaker 4: The military right now, they're doing so much as well that they're paving the way for even the next generation. So it's just one generation after another keeping this country free, and it's an honor.
00:52:20
Speaker 24: And this year's parade marking the 250th anniversary of the nation, the 25th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks, and the 35th anniversary of Operation Desert Storm. I'm Scott Pringle, WDOR News.
00:52:31
Speaker 15: Mayor Mamdani will not march in the parade. Instead, he'll serve meals to veterans in the Bronx. President Trump will observe the holiday with remarks at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Syed Mohassib is now charged with murder and the fatal stabbing of Brooklyn jogger Katie Suarez. A grand jury handed up its indictment yesterday. There will be a wake today for Suarez. Republicans are still the majority in Congress, and for now, they are going to exercise that, they say. Yesterday, House members pulled together to put the impeachment of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on hold. Instead, they voted to refer the articles that were introduced by Kentucky GOP Thomas Massey to committee. Ohio's Jim Jordan will serve as House Minority Leader in the 120th Congress. His fellow GOP from Indiana... Martin Stutzman calls it a great choice.
00:53:18
Speaker 26: Jim Jordan is a Midwestern guy who has a great ability to communicate to the American people as well as fighting for conservative principles because we're going to be fighting against socialism for the next two years, and that should concern every American.
00:53:30
Speaker 15: The current Senate Majority Leader, John Thune of South Dakota, will be the Chamber's Minority Leader. The Knicks won, the Devils lost. Next news, 8 o'clock, bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.

Speaker 3: I am guilty, God.
00:55:26
Speaker 1: What is this going to do to the man who controls all the super chips in the world?
00:55:31
Speaker 8: Oh, I don't even think it's about that at all anymore. I mean, this is about all these people. Just think six months ago when every single person you spoke to, your barber to, you know, every friend you had over for a beer, they all said, you.
00:55:44
Speaker 1: Got to buy Nvidia stock.
00:55:46
Speaker 8: You got to buy Nvidia stock.
00:55:47
Speaker 1: And everyone did.
00:55:49
Speaker 8: And now you've got this company at the center of one of the biggest crises we've seen in a long time, not only because this guy cheated, but also because it might have been with a spy. I mean, I'm telling you, if there's not someone in Hollywood that's writing this movie right now, they better be. There's just so many great details. We're still learning about this woman, Alice Wong, no relation to Jensen Wong, the guy who's in charge of NVIDIA. Business executive, worked as a TV reporter, moved into banking and finance. And she kind of loved her relationship with this guy. There was a report where she was at a party, and she bragged. She said, look, I can get NVIDIA's Jensen Wang here. Watch, you want to see? And sure enough, texted him, came over in a couple minutes. And the problem here is that the U.S. has very strong export rules on selling chips to China. And apparently this company that she worked with, Megaspeed, They got about $ 4 billion worth of NVIDIA AI chips. Was it because of their relationship? I guess that'll come out in time.
00:56:51
Speaker 5: Wow.
00:56:52
Speaker 3: You know what? You called my attention to something I really wasn't looking at. The stock is plummeting. It was up at 230. It's down to 168 and still going down. And when you look at the chart, it looks like, you know, looking over a cliff at the Grand Canyon, it just goes straight down. Yeah, I'm glad you called that to our attention. That's a big, that's a huge story. All of that money. It is huge.
00:57:21
Speaker 8: And it's also just this guy is the face of this company. I mean, he started it. He's been running it for more than 30 years. So the problem is investors are sitting there going, okay, we know they make good chips. We know that maybe this company's overvalued. We're not sure. But is there going to be a leader that can take this company, if necessary, to the next level if they decide, you know, the board's doing an investigation, U.S. is doing an investigation, everyone's investigating right now. But the problem is you got this guy who is pretty much the only guy at the company. Like he is the main guy. So can someone else run this company as successful as he did and keep that stock price up and keep them as a market leader? I mean, they're one of the top five most valuable companies in the world right now.
00:58:02
Speaker 3: Well, the stock owners must want him out at this point, but we'll see what happens. I want to talk about something else, because I am big on, well, everybody is now. I'm big on Ring. Everybody has a Ring doorbell now. But they're now stepping up their game, Rich. Yeah, a little bit of trivia for you. I tested the first Ring door, it was called DoorBot. back in the day when it first came out. I was one of the first people to test it, do a story with them. Anyway, it's kind of fun.
00:58:29
Speaker 8: I've been watching their journey for many, many years. And now they have launched the Ring Drone Cam. This is a $ 250 flying security camera that can patrol inside your house. So it stays docked. And then if there's trouble, it will fly to that room, give you a view of what's happening, or it can do standard patrols. It can apparently go upstairs. Obviously, it's not walking. It's flying up there. You know, there's some demos that people got, and, you know, it's not perfect. It was crashing into a couple things.
00:59:00
Speaker 3: Oh, no.
00:59:02
Speaker 8: Don't put your glasses anywhere, you know, with this thing.
00:59:07
Speaker 3: It's going to cut way down on people cheating on their spouse. I would think.
00:59:14
Speaker 17: I'm sorry.
00:59:15
Speaker 7: I'm curious because I know there's like a $ 5 a month service fee for it, I heard. But does it detect things? Does it know if the door opens and it goes to see something? Say if you're not home, can you set it for something crashes?
00:59:29
Speaker 5: Yes.
00:59:30
Speaker 22: Will it know?
00:59:30
Speaker 3: Yes.
00:59:31
Speaker 8: Yes, those are some of the things that it can do. So, yes, if you have a ring alarm system, the back door opens. It can fly to that back door.
00:59:38
Speaker 25: Oh, wow.
00:59:38
Speaker 8: Now, I did get a demo of this a couple years ago. They've been talking about this product for years, by the way. They had a demo of it at
CES for a couple years. Never really came to fruition. I think they finally got to a place where they figured out how to do this. It took them longer than they expected. It's a good idea.
00:59:54
Speaker 1: Let's be honest.
00:59:55
Speaker 8: I mean, because you don't have to have cameras, like you said. In certain rooms of the house, people don't typically put cameras in bathrooms and in bedrooms. So this has a way to fly into those rooms to see what's going on if someone were to use the window and that to break in or something.
01:00:10
Speaker 3: So it's a good idea. I think, you know, I can think of a million privacy problems off the top of my head. Oh, yeah.
01:00:18
Speaker 8: I mean, it's loud, though. This thing is not sneaking up on anyone. So if you're, you know, doing something in that room that no one needs to know about.
01:00:27
Speaker 3: You'll know. Wow, the technology. Incredible. Rich DeMuro.
01:00:34
Speaker 1: Again, you got to check him out right here on the most listened to talk radio station in New York. 710 WOR. 8 to 11 p.m. on WOR.
01:00:44
Speaker 3: Well, how can you go online, Larry, in order to get rich? You just go and see Rich on Tech. He is on Instagram, at Rich on Tech. And there you can see all of the latest things he's checking out. Also, you can ask him some questions there. Yeah, about maybe having a drone spy on him. Watch out, Rich.
01:01:06
Speaker 14: No.
01:01:12
Speaker 17: Now, it's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
01:01:19
Speaker 3: And I love what you're doing today. Obviously, you're going to talk about Veterans Day, but I certainly hope you got to talk to some veterans. I did. I did get to talk to some veterans. Hold on a second.
01:01:30
Speaker 1: Let's get her up there, Crash.
01:01:31
Speaker 3: Let's get the audio.
01:01:32
Speaker 5: Can you hear.
01:01:34
Speaker 1: Me?
01:01:34
Speaker 3: Take the other one. Can you hear me? Nope. Here, come over here.
01:01:38
Speaker 1: Can you hear me?
01:01:41
Speaker 16: That's so funny because my dad's always like, step back from the mic.
01:01:44
Speaker 24: You're so loud.
01:01:45
Speaker 3: But you couldn't hear me.
01:01:47
Speaker 16: Because the mic's not on.
01:01:49
Speaker 3: You can't hear me. You went to a third mic. I did. It was one, two, third time's a charm. That's right.
01:01:55
Speaker 16: I did speak to a veteran on the street, you know, doing the street interviews today. But it's Veterans Day and the annual parade is being held to honor the 250 years of America, obviously. And it'll commemorate 25 years since the september 11th attack so what's considered the nation's largest veterans day commemoration will march up fifth avenue from east 26th to 48th streets so for anyone who's not a veteran are they thinking about it.
01:02:26
Speaker 27: If i get the day off maybe but i don't think i do so no no.
01:02:30
Speaker 4: I don't have a day off so it's i just think about it as a way to remember the veterans.
01:02:34
Speaker 3: I have thought about it a bit.
01:02:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was thinking the other day that Veterans Day is different from Memorial Day, and that Veterans Day is more about honoring the people that have served and have sacrificed.
01:02:44
Speaker 3: In one way or another. So, yes. It's very important, very important to honor these folks. So, see veterans, we need.
01:02:51
Speaker 21: To honor them.
01:02:53
Speaker 16: Yeah, so with more than 2 million Americans in uniform on active duty or in reserve forces, This Veterans Day is being marked amid an ongoing conflict or war with Iran. It has me asking people if they're seeing younger generations care a little bit more because of the ongoing war.
01:03:12
Speaker 3: I'm not certain about that. All I can tell you is the Lord's in the middle of it, and we don't have to worry about it.
01:03:17
Speaker 27: The system in which we navigate our wars and everything, it's very tough to deal with that as a New Yorker, and just as a person in America who's like, their money is going to things that they don't understand or things that they don't necessarily support, so I think it's hard to support a holiday like that when so much is under the black tape.
01:03:33
Speaker 2: But I do think that this war that Trump has gotten us into... has made people perhaps a little bit more reflective about what it means to put soldiers and the military.
01:03:45
Speaker 3: In harm's way.
01:03:45
Speaker 16: You think it's almost brought it closer to home for us?
01:03:48
Speaker 2: I think this Veterans Day will be somewhat different because of that, yes.
01:03:52
Speaker 10: Probably.
01:03:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the world's a scary place right now, and it's definitely not easy, so I imagine.
01:03:57
Speaker 3: What's going on around the world definitely emphasizes what we have here.
01:04:00
Speaker 16: Now, you'll see hundreds, if not thousands, of uniformed military members roaming around the city today because of the Veterans Day parade. That includes Navy sailor Allison, a Long Island native who has returned home for the first time since going abroad, going overseas. She's got a message for anyone who may not be thinking about Veterans Day.
01:04:24
Speaker 25: Your support matters more now than ever. I think, you know, you're seeing the younger generation become the most involved that they have with politics this year. And I think because of that, the military as well, us younger generation, we're trying to come in and do just as much as we can all the way down from the bottom. So I think support matters more than ever. And I think we appreciate everyone that does support us.
01:04:43
Speaker 3: Did you always want to do this?
01:04:44
Speaker 4: I did.
01:04:45
Speaker 9: My dad was a Marine.
01:04:46
Speaker 25: So the second I got the opportunity to join the Navy and travel the world, I enlisted.
01:04:50
Speaker 16: Yeah, and there's a lot of legacy in that, right? A lot of service
members who I've spoken to over the years when we do these types of interviews.
01:04:57
Speaker 3: It runs in the family. It's generational.
01:05:00
Speaker 16: And some people who are just joining as well because they're inspired to serve their country. Now, Allison gave me a glimpse into her life in the forward deployed naval forces.
01:05:11
Speaker 25: It means you don't get to come home during holidays, you don't get to come home during birthdays, anything like that. So It just means, you know, being able to put in the hard work and, I guess, serve your country. It crosses your mind every day thinking about how everyone's posting, especially with social media, and you don't get to be there. But, I mean, at the end of the day, you make family with the people you work with.
01:05:28
Speaker 16: And that's a lot of what I've experienced over the years with people who I've interviewed. I remember a couple months ago, I interviewed a veteran who was talking about who he served with and how somebody had passed away and he gets arrested. together wow my words with his buddies from the armed forces and they honor that so there.
01:05:51
Speaker 3: Is a lot of.
01:05:53
Speaker 16: There's a lot of um separation between who people are like what people are thinking and who is thinking about what today but i think that allison's story was sort of um It was just a little bit of insight into what veterans sort of have to sacrifice, you know, if they don't make the ultimate sacrifice just by sacrificing overseas.
01:06:15
Speaker 1: Well, you know, if you see the vets out there, they're always out there, Veterans Day and other patriotic occasions, selling the red poppies. It commemorates the deaths of so many Americans in World War I in Flanders. All that money, I can assure you, goes to supporting veterans in their time of need. So if you see them out there today, Buy a little red poppy, whatever the donation, because it really goes to a great cause.
01:06:42
Speaker 3: I love the quote that that woman said at the end that serves. She said, I'm making family with the people I serve with. Yeah. And I can't imagine that camaraderie when you're overseas going through a shared experience and you know that not everybody in this country is supporting you. Those bonds last forever. Yep. And so, yes, God bless you. Thank you for your service. And thank you to everybody who is a veteran. And nice job, Natalie Migliore. I'll be back tomorrow at 7.50. We'll talk about the new star, Marco Rubio, after the 8 o'clock news. Well, you know that Marco Rubio was in Paris for a G7 meeting. None of the heads of state were there. It was all foreign ministers. And that's important. And he had, of course, private meetings with everybody. The thing to take away from this, however, is that Marco Rubio is a global rock star. I mean, they had press conferences. All the foreign ministers had press conferences that were attended, but not highly attended. Marco Rubio, the room was
packed to find out what he was going to say. And he spoke for about a half an hour and he's, Excellent. I mean, he handles every single question that is thrown with him perfectly, exactly the way you would want him to handle it. He gives a little bit of information, but not too much. The big talk was about Ukraine, because he met with the Ukrainian foreign minister yesterday. and the G7 counterpart, and they had parallel talks at the same time with the Russians. And so they wanted to find out exactly what came of that. Of course, he's going to say this. Our goals are the same.
01:08:33
Speaker 28: We want the war to end, and we want there never to be a war again. So that requires not just ending the war, but also ensuring that Ukraine never again feels threatened for its security. We all share the same goal.
01:08:45
Speaker 3: So what he's saying is in these talks, and you can figure this out on your own, but in these talks, what he's saying is that Russia, it sounds like if these peace talks go through, Russia is going to get some territory. But in return, they have to make sure that Ukraine is never threatened again. Does that mean joining NATO? Does that mean that the United States has a base there? That still has to be determined. But it was a successful meeting. Of course, Iran came up.
01:09:16
Speaker 28: Oh, I think Iran would love a deal. The problem is the conditions they continue to place are absurd. Like, they're not even serious right now. But that could change, certainly. I mean, the pain that they're feeling is... Eventually you have to eat. Eventually you have to be able to pay your own fighters and your own security forces and so forth. Eventually the economic realities penetrate the skull of even the most radical lunatic.
01:09:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, he defended constantly the Trump administration's diplomatic and sanctions against Iran. And he said that the proposals that they're making, he used two terms that made the news unacceptable and outrageous. So it doesn't sound like there's any deal in the offing. But as he said, it could change any day because there's an economic stranglehold on them right now. He also said something interesting yesterday. about the boats that are getting through. He said we're getting through more than at any time in the blockade right now, the oil ships that are getting through. But he said that we're still having difficulty with our NATO allies to help us with the blockade because as long as there is any threat to their ships, they don't want to get out there. As soon as they're told they have the go-ahead, he says they're going to be out there helping with the blockade. And one last thing, Curtis, he did talk in general about the Middle East.
01:10:37
Speaker 28: Talk about all the instability in the Middle East. Houthis, the militias in Iraq, Hezbollah, Hamas, the civil war that occurred in Syria that almost destroyed that country. What do these things all have in common? Behind every single one
of these destabilizing activities in the Middle East, there's one common denominator, the Iranian regime.
01:10:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that was his answer to the fact that it's not just about Israel. This is the entire Middle East. The destabilization of the Middle East is because of Iran. And he also talked about how many American soldiers were killed. But he is, as I said at the beginning, he is a rock star. I mean, of the Trump administration, I think he is the shining light. Now, he says he's not going to run for president. He says he's going to support J.D. Vance.
01:11:28
Speaker 1: But I wonder if that's going to change. Well, he's not a rock star for me. In what you just said, oh, all problems go to Iran. ISIS was at war with Iran, at war with us. We worked with Iran to extinguish ISIS.
01:11:43
Speaker 3: But he didn't mention ISIS, did he?
01:11:45
Speaker 14: No.
01:11:46
Speaker 1: No, but he said all problems lead to Iran. There was a day that we were partners with Iran in eradicating ISIS.
01:11:53
Speaker 3: So his history is somewhat warped. But he didn't say ISIS. So how is his history warped? No, he said Iran. Iran did not create ISIS. We were at war with ISIS. And you know who our allies were side by side sometimes?
01:12:07
Speaker 11: Iran.
01:12:07
Speaker 3: Iran. in liquidating ISIS. So because he left that out, you're saying that, oh my God, that was horrible. He didn't even mention them.
01:12:17
Speaker 1: Not the rock star to me. When campaigning with Donald Trump, he got on a bully pulpit in Texas and said Donald Trump was the greatest president of all time.
01:12:27
Speaker 3: Big O, there's the real reason right there.
01:12:30
Speaker 1: Well, again, I'd like you to explain that.
01:12:33
Speaker 3: Greater than Washington, greater than Lincoln.
01:12:35
Speaker 1: Number two, he said Israel doesn't need our money any longer to purchase weapons, which is the best thing that can happen is like, let us sever this relationship with Israel now. The president has said no money January 1st. And Marco Rubio has been very pro-Israel, very pro-APAC, basically said, yeah, yeah, that's it. They got enough to purchase their own weapons. But the one thing that he has not explained is after Maduro was taken out, that was back almost like January 3rd. Remember that amazing intervention?
01:13:13
Speaker 14: U.S.
01:13:13
Speaker 3: Forces went in.
01:13:15
Speaker 1: They came out. Maduro is now facing trial along with his wife.
01:13:19
Speaker 3: Amazing.
01:13:20
Speaker 1: And then Marco Rubio is in charge of the Western Hemisphere for the United States because he's not only the Secretary of State, he's also the National Security Advisor for President Donald Trump.
01:13:31
Speaker 3: He wears two hats.
01:13:32
Speaker 1: He said it's just a matter of days before Cuba collapses because our naval blockade didn't allow a drop of oil to go into Cuba, not even olive oil. How have they survived since? Nobody brings, I would be the first one to say, Mr. Secretary of State, you said to us it would be regime change in Cuba. It was just a matter of days and weeks. And yet here it is. It's after the midterm elections.
01:14:01
Speaker 3: And it's still functioning. Maybe barely.
01:14:04
Speaker 1: But they're still functioning. They're not capitulating. They're not negotiating with us. Our CIA director went over there a few months ago, Radcliffe. They repulsed him.
01:14:14
Speaker 3: They said, nope. No, we're holding on.
01:14:16
Speaker 1: They wanted Raul Castro so they could put him in a cell with Maduro. They wouldn't give up Raul Castro. So I would say, Secretary of State, you told us the blockade would work in Cuba.
01:14:28
Speaker 3: Well, it's not over yet. But the biggest thing that has happened in all of this that you're leaving out of the equation is that China is now coming out very publicly. Their foreign minister was over in China, coming out very publicly saying, we support Cuba, we will do anything we can to help Cuba, and we are against any blockade, and we will keep fighting any blockade of Cuba. So the fact that China has gotten so publicly involved, they were always involved, but this is very public now, it makes it a whole different problem. It escalates the problem, at least diplomatically, especially because we want a better relationship with China, and this may get in the way.
01:15:14
Speaker 1: Well, the president visits China next week for an economic conference. He'll be there with President Xi. We'll see. But Marco Rubio was set to become the new president of Cuba. They had a government-in-waiting in southern Florida, promised an insurrection. Haven't seen anything.
01:15:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, these things just don't happen quick enough for you. Well, that's why I don't believe that these blockades economically strangle a country to the point where they have to say no mas, no mas.
01:15:41
Speaker 1: Because Cuba, more so than Iran, should have been strangled.
01:15:44
Speaker 3: They have nothing.
01:15:45
Speaker 1: They're an island. Nothing coming in, nothing going out. Mexico can't export to them. Obviously, Venezuela no more, not Red China, not anyone else.
01:15:54
Speaker 3: So how are they surviving?
01:15:55
Speaker 26: I don't know.
01:15:56
Speaker 3: We'll do a deeper dive into the situation inside Cuba. I don't have the answer for you just yet, but I'm sure I can get that information. He should, though.
01:16:06
Speaker 1: Been able to do something, but maybe it was more difficult than he would acknowledge because everything with the Trump administration is, oh, it'll end tomorrow.
01:16:14
Speaker 3: They'll capitulate. There'll be insurrection. There'll be regime change. Are you for Cuba? What is your position on this? You just want to say bad things.
01:16:23
Speaker 1: About the administration. We should have had an open relationship with Cuba. We have an open relationship with Red China, a communist country, right? But not
with Cuba?
01:16:31
Speaker 3: Does that make any sense? Yeah, it does to me. I mean, Cuba has been anti-American since Castro got into office. Cuba has been pro-Chinese and pro-Russia and basically a communist country ever since they got in. No, I don't want a good relationship with Cuba. I completely defend what the administration has done. What harm can Cuba do to us? Seriously, what harm? They can work as a– listen, we had the Cuban Missile Crisis where missiles were going in there. That was a long time. I understand that, but you understand from that the situation we're in with Cuba so close to our continent. and being great friends with our adversaries, you understand that that's a big problem. If we can get rid of that, we should try to get rid of it. I've been to Cuba. Listen, you just don't like anything this administration does. Because I don't buy the propaganda crap from either the Democrats or Republicans. Oh, no, you buy into the Democrats. You buy into everything the Democrats say. You never challenge authority. Rubio was wrong on this. He promised us there would be regime change. It wasn't Rubio's call, by the way.
01:17:38
Speaker 8: Yes, it was.
01:17:38
Speaker 3: It was not. It was not Rubio's call. It's always the president's call. Okay, so what happened? How are they still operating? How are they still functioning? How fast do you want these things to happen? No, no, no, blockade. Are they a problem right now? Are they a problem? They haven't been a problem since the Cuban missile crisis, Larry. Oh, they have been. They have been. They have been the root of drugs coming into our country for a long time. The root of drugs. Maybe fentanyl, Larry?
01:18:10
Speaker 22: Yes.
01:18:10
Speaker 5: Oh, really?
01:18:11
Speaker 3: Fentanyl came through Cuba. Like fentanyl is coming through Venezuela. You don't think they made money on that? No, it was coming through Venezuela. You're absolutely correct. But Cuba worked with Venezuela. Like all the fentanyl that came through Canada that Trump said, oh, fentanyl is coming through Canada. What is wrong with you? Larry, it's all nonsense. No, it's not all nonsense. It's all propaganda. Do you know how many people died of fentanyl that you're saying is all propaganda? Oh, and it came through Cuba. You're saying, no, I said they helped. They helped. They were an adversary to the United States. You don't buy that?
01:18:40
Speaker 1: You couldn't be more hopelessly.
01:18:43
Speaker 14: Wrong, Larry.
01:18:43
Speaker 3: Are they an adversary or not? Then they can't feed a fly now. Are they an adversary or not? No, they're not an adversary. Then you're a liar.
01:18:49
Speaker 1: Because Marco Rubio said, oh, they're going to work with us.
01:18:52
Speaker 3: We have a regime change taking place. Where is it, Larry? You don't ask those questions because you just bowed to the party that you support. I don't just bow to the party I support. I think that many presidents wanted to take out Cuba,
and you have one that did. You have a guy that now has done things that other presidents have said they were going to do, and you have a problem with him because you have something personal against him.
01:19:13
Speaker 5: Iran.
01:19:13
Speaker 3: That war in Iran. That was brilliant. One of the two. That was brilliant. Bibi's war in Iran. That was brilliant, Trump.
01:19:19
Speaker 1: Anyway, up next, a Long Island man accused of faking Purple Hearts, which is a real problem when we come to Veterans Day and all the commemorations and the marches in support of the vets. Stealing $ 81, 000.
01:19:33
Speaker 3: From veteran groups. Plus a chance to see Tommy James and the Shondells next. Brandon. Well, on this Veterans Day, we honor all of the real veterans who serve this country favorably and honorably. But there is one man in Long Island that has been arrested.
01:19:54
Speaker 5: He.
01:19:56
Speaker 3: Was discharged from the U.S. Army, but he has falsely cast himself as a decorated combat veteran and a prisoner of war. And because of that, he was able to steal tens of thousands of dollars from veterans organizations. He's been prosecuted. Ray Tierney is the prosecutor. David Agstrabie, age 58, is accused of receiving benefits and stealing money from the American Legion by falsely portraying himself as the recipient of two Purple Hearts when he had in fact received a bad conduct discharge following a court martial conviction in 1988. He was also getting veterans benefits. Every single cent of that money. was taken out of another more deserving or a deserving veterans pocket. That was Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney, who said during a news conference yesterday. This guy is the most amazing scumbag you can ever see. Listen to this. He's accused of obtaining a leadership position in the Hampton Bays American Legion. Because he was such a hero, they put him in there. And he stole more than $ 81, 000 from the organization. The organization allegedly used to pay for various personal expenses. This is what he used it for. Various personal expenses, including Amazon purchases. residential electric and cable bills, a private business membership program, streaming services, travel and leisure, clothing and accessories, and other purposes. This is all money that was supposed to go to veterans.
01:21:44
Speaker 6: During the time he claimed to be a prisoner of war, he was a prisoner. He was just a prisoner in upstate New York for a grand larceny conviction. Yeah, so he's going to be put away for a long, long time because he's now charged with the very same thing.
01:21:58
Speaker 1: You know... if it was just the false credentials alone and he hadn't ripped off money, he could have run for Senator like Blumenthal in Connecticut and been elected. You know, the guy who supposedly served in Vietnam didn't even, couldn't even find Vietnam on a national geographic map. So it all ends up on how you fake it. But there are, unfortunately, there are men and women out there who will wear a ribbon, an honor that they didn't receive. And, It's a felony crime. It's a felony crime to do so.
01:22:30
Speaker 3: Well, a lot of people in the talkbacks want to talk about Veterans and Veterans Day.
01:22:35
Speaker 11: My father was a barber in Nutley, New Jersey, Joe Bono. He was a famous barber, I must say. Anyway, when a veteran would come in and get a haircut, he would always say, and it didn't have to be Veterans Day, thank you for your service and never charge them. I think that's old school respect, and I think we need to bring it back.
01:22:56
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
01:22:58
Speaker 22: I would like to say Happy Veterans Day to all veterans, but today especially our Vietnam vets, one of which was my husband, Dominic, who passed away 17 years ago at the age of 63 from Agent Orange cancer. So many Vietnam vets have passed, and if they haven't passed, they're very ill from the effects of Agent Orange cancer.
01:23:25
Speaker 1: Thank you for that. Thank you for remembering not just your husband, but all the others who served, who either didn't come back or are suffering as a result since. 8.30, let's get the news update from Daria.
01:23:37
Speaker 15: Morning, guys. Sunny today with a high of 62 degrees. It is Veterans Day, and the annual parade is being held here in New York City. to honor those who served our nation.
01:23:46
Speaker 16: With more than 2 million Americans in uniform on active duty or in reserve forces, this Veterans Day is being marked amid an ongoing war with Iran.
01:23:55
Speaker 2: But I do think that this war that Trump has gotten us into has made people perhaps a little bit more reflective about what it means to put soldiers and the military in harm's way.
01:24:07
Speaker 3: It's very important to honor these folks. So if you see veterans, we need.
01:24:11
Speaker 5: To honor them.
01:24:11
Speaker 16: What's considered the nation's largest Veterans Day commemoration marches up Manhattan's 5th Avenue from East 26th to 48th Streets. Natalie Migliore, WOR News.
01:24:22
Speaker 15: Now there had been some confusion over whether Mayor Mamdani was going to take part. Now City Hall says, yeah, he's going to be in the parade. Mayor Trump will deliver remarks at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Murder charges for the suspect in the fatal stabbing of Brooklyn jogger Katie Suarez, a grand jury indicting Syed Mohassib. Meanwhile, residents are calling for better lighting on the path where the attack took place and in other Brooklyn parks. The impeachment of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is on hold for now. House Republicans are voting to refer articles that were submitted by Kentucky GOP Thomas Massey to the Judiciary Committee.
01:24:59
Speaker 29: Even talking to Republicans one by one, they were trying to kind of talk through this. On one end, they do acknowledge they have concerns about the war, how long it's going to last. But on the other end, they don't exactly want to
see this impeachment effort move forward, and certainly not before they hand over the keys to the majority to Democrats.
01:25:18
Speaker 15: ABC's Rachel Scott, the man who was convicted in the 2023 stabbing death of Cash App founder Bob Lee, has now been sentenced to 16 years to life in prison. A jury found Nima Maneni guilty of second-degree murder in 2024. Maneni's attorneys say they will appeal.
01:25:37
Speaker 3: Next win, devil's loose. Next news, 9 o'clock, bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR. Congratulations to Eugene Tylosky from Livingston, New Jersey. You just won a pair of tickets to see Tommy James and the Shondells April 10th at Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair. Tickets are on sale now at Ticketmaster.com. You got another chance to win tomorrow at 825. Well, that psycho ex-cop that committed murder and was working at a kid's school, an elementary school, has got other problems that Curtis is going to tell us about. But first, WOR has your hookup to hear from new music from U2 a day before anybody else. It's the iHeart and TikTok premiere with U2.

01:26:52
Speaker 1: So Larry, update on Psycho Boy. He was at 100 Skimahorn Street yesterday, indicted on murder charges of the Hispanic woman who was running along the Bell Parkway, who eventually perished from her wounds. You have teachers, you have paraprofessionals, you have residents in the area who all joined together in protest outside of PS 200, where he was a paraprofessional, actually in class with children. He had been a police officer for six months and decided, I'm leaving. Goes to the USMC, the Marine Corps. They wash him out. Psychiatric disability. Comes back, says to the NYPD, I want to rejoin. They said, no way. You have a psychological problem. And so now he needs a job. Now, while he's at home, he's threatening the family to chop him up into little pieces. They drag him away for a psychiatric observation. He then kills the house pet. His sister certainly knew that. She's living there.
01:27:56
Speaker 3: Well, guess what?
01:27:57
Speaker 1: She happened to be a paraprofessional at PS200. His aunt was an assistant principal nearby. They probably went to their friends in the Department of Education, dumbest organization ever that weighs $ 44 billion of our money every year.
01:28:12
Speaker 3: Say, hey, can you, you know, we got a relative. Can you find a position?
01:28:16
Speaker 1: So they hired him part-time as a paraprofessional, and then they put him on full-time, even though there were 10 complaints internally from teachers and others in the school. They said the guy is wigging out, he's coming in disheveled, he's mumbling to himself, and nothing was done. And you know what the Department of Education said yesterday? He went through a complete background check, filled out our questionnaire oh i'm sure he did but did you actually check on his answers and the answer appears to be no what a disgrace no it's a.
01:28:50
Speaker 3: Disgrace to the department of education that they allowed him anywhere near children i agree with you we got a another crazy person from new york i'd It seems like, and I don't know what the immigration status is of this gentleman that you're talking about, but the immigration status of somebody that tried to hijack a plane out of Newark is that he's here illegally. But in this story is just, wait till you hear all the details of it. This was a plane leaving from Newark International to New Orleans. It was United Flight 2174. There were a total of 52 people on board, six crew members. 46 passengers. And out of nowhere, the plane at around 9.30 on two nights ago, around 9.30 at night, the pilot sends out a level four threat alert. That is the highest alert that can be sent out. And he reported a hijacking. Now here's what happened. This out of control passenger who barely spoke English any in English, except he could say the word hijack, tried to get up to the front of the plane. Now, before he went up to the front of the plane, the flight attendants noticed that he put on all black, put on all black, and then walked up and tried to get in the cockpit. And I will tell you this, you know, your flight attendants, man, the flight attendants are your security more than the pilot's. More than anybody else, they are your security. They were able to, this is a crazy man now, spoke little English. He is from the Bronx. He's 34 years old. in the country illegally. He's trying to get into the cockpit. He claims he has a bomb. And these flight attendants were able to talk him down, talk him into the back of the plane where he sat down. And what's amazing about this story is not only the job they did, putting themselves in danger, talking this guy down as they locked the cockpit doors so nobody could possibly get in there for a hijacking. But then all of the passengers that got off the plane said they had no idea this was happening. They never heard anything. There was reporters there saying, what about the hijacking? What did you see? They were like, what hijacking? That's how good these flight attendants were.
01:31:26
Speaker 14: Oh, yeah.
01:31:26
Speaker 1: And by the way, he was in Honduran illegal. But you look at his mugshot, he looks like a jihadist. He's got the beard and everything, the crazed eyes. He snuck in through Texas 2011.
01:31:38
Speaker 3: We sent him back.
01:31:39
Speaker 1: He snuck in then through New Mexico 2014.
01:31:42
Speaker 3: We sent him back.
01:31:44
Speaker 1: He snuck in in an area you know well, Larry, I know well, San Ysidro, which separates San Diego from San TJ Tijuana, 2019, we sent him back.
01:31:53
Speaker 3: He's living in the Bronx, as
you said.
01:31:55
Speaker 1: He's got a long rap sheet, and yet he was able to get on this flight to New Orleans from Newark and cause all kinds of havoc. You don't remember there was a program. I got to do a deep dive. The air marshals, you know, after the hijackings to Cuba, JFK put him into effect. I ran into one air marshal one time. I wonder if they've replenished the many who've retired. We never hear about them anymore.
01:32:22
Speaker 3: That's a great question. Hey, listen, when we come back, not only are we going to talk about the election results still not in from Mississippi and Alaska, but we have just two more talkbacks left from veterans. You want to play them? Oh, absolutely. Yeah, let's get to them. That's when we come right back. Well, you've been great today with your talk back. So many of them about veterans, both that you knew and maybe some of the people that were veterans. We really appreciate it. So we have one last one. Now, we're saving one other one because it's going to be the talk back of the morning. But we want to make sure on this Veterans Day, we get to everyone that wants to talk about veterans.
01:33:05
Speaker 13: Happy Veterans Day, everyone. When I was looking for a house in Pennsylvania, I met up with someone that was a vet. We got to talking. Now, every year on Veterans Day, I call him up just to say hi. He's a total stranger, but he's a vet, and I call to thank him.
01:33:25
Speaker 3: That's wonderful. By the way, today, anybody that's a veteran that you know, you should be thanking. Absolutely.
01:33:33
Speaker 1: So remember, the difference Veterans Day, honor all those who've served peacetime, wartime, Memorial Day, never say happy Memorial Day. That's to commemorate those who died in battle to preserve all freedom. But definitely do as Larry had just encouraged you to do, even if you can't go to a commemoration or the parade here in New York City that starts at 1230 up Fifth Avenue.
01:33:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, it should be all the time, not just Veterans Day. We should be thanking people all of the time. Well, Alaska and Mississippi still doesn't have their votes counted. Up in Alaska, it's amazing. Every time they're interviewed, they say the same thing that gentleman said the other day. This is just the way we do it up here. They're not going to be rushed.
01:34:21
Speaker 1: Slow and easy, he said. And it went from, what, 75% of the total vote counted down to 74%. We still haven't figured out how they do their mathematical tabulations.
01:34:33
Speaker 3: It's now up to 84%. Oh, 84%. Wow. Major jump. Let me give you what we have right now. Mary Peltola. Boy, Chuck Schumer does not want her to win now because she's going to be against him as Speaker 24.
01:34:47
Speaker 5: 118,926.
01:34:47
Speaker 3: Dan Sullivan, the real Dan Sullivan, 114,676. So listen to that. She's pulling away. Because it was within 1,000 votes, it was a few hundred votes. Now it's about 3,000 votes, a little bit under 3,000
votes. And the fake Dan Sullivan, his total's going up, too, to 4,027. So if Peltola needs those votes.
01:35:17
Speaker 3: They're probably going to become because of the fraud that was committed up there from Daniel J. Sullivan. The best thing that can happen to Mary Peltola is that she wins this on her own. Because if she doesn't, Well, then it's going to be in the courts for a long time.
01:35:31
Speaker 1: That's for sure. And by the way, you are right. Chuck Schumer will be dancing the horror. And he's going to be upset if the African-American candidate for the Democratic Party for Medea column wins in Mississippi. They've now nearly tallied up 3,000 of the votes that are affidavits and absentee. They still got a ways to go. But if this gentleman wins... He's got a grudge against Schumer. A month ago, when nobody gave him a chance at all to beat the sitting Republican senator in Mississippi, he had a delegation of esteemed African-Americans from Mississippi went and met personally with Chuck Schumer in D.C. He said, look, Chuck, look, our internal polls. Look, we got a real chance to win this. And Chuck looked at them and said, no, you don't. I'm not giving you anything. I'm sorry. I'm not giving you anything.
01:36:24
Speaker 3: So if he gets elected, not only you have Patola who will vote against Chuck Schumer being the majority leader of the Senate, but Collum, who would definitely vote no because of how he got dissed and dismissed. That would mean all eight of the new senators for the Democratic Party would vote against him. You add Sanders to that, Senator Sanders. There's enough that he would not win.
01:36:51
Speaker 1: Well, it's going to be close. We'll see what kind of subterfuge Chuck Schumer and his files do against those who may be vacillating. Anyway, today was an outstanding tribute to all of our veterans. We heard so many heartfelt messages from our listeners. This talk back in particular sums up why taking a moment to thank a veteran matters so much.
01:37:19
Speaker 14: On this Veterans Day, I think about the two billion people on this planet who live in freedom in large measure because of the efforts of the U.S. military down through the years. That's an extraordinarily noble achievement. And yet when you ask a service member about what they do, their answer is self-effacing. I was just doing my job.
01:37:40
Speaker 25: Amazing.
01:37:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what else they say, too, which I love? It's my favorite quote from veterans. If not me, who?
01:37:48
Speaker 6: Hmm.
01:37:48
Speaker 3: Because if I don't go, who's going to take my place? Who's going to do the job?
01:37:52
Speaker 14: Correct.
01:37:53
Speaker 1: Oh, man, that was an outstanding way to pull it all, put it all into effect. So that's our Talk Back in the Morning. And winner of the Curtis Lee and Larry Menti in the Morning T-shirt and in the running for Talk Back of the Week, who will win a C-Crane radio. And we are sending him a second to give to a friend who served our country.
