Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We'll be careful driving out there. There are flood watches
- 0:04Speaker 1: and flood emergencies all throughout the area because all through
- 0:09Speaker 1: the night we got sometimes really heavy downpours, but it
- 0:13Speaker 1: was consistently raining through the night. It's raining right now.
- 0:16Speaker 1: Just looked out the window in Upper Manhattan that are
- 0:19Speaker 1: iHeart headquarters, and people are still holding their umbrellas. There
- 0:23Speaker 1: is still some rain coming down. New York City has
- 0:26Speaker 1: activated its flash flood emergency plan in response. You know,
- 0:32Speaker 1: I was thinking about this, Curtis. I was looking because
- 0:34Speaker 1: we've had a lot of rain, a lot of rain
- 0:37Speaker 1: over the the last couple of months through the summer,
- 0:40Speaker 1: and so I thought, I wonder if we're setting a record.
- 0:42Speaker 1: I wonder if we're close to a record. I looked
- 0:44Speaker 1: at New Jersey first, and nowhere near a record. As
- 0:48Speaker 1: a matter of fact, so far, it's less rainfall than
- 0:51Speaker 1: they normally get, not by a lot, but they normally
- 0:54Speaker 1: get about twenty nine inches of rain a year. And
- 0:57Speaker 1: when I saw that, I thought to myself, oh my god.
- 1:01Speaker 1: In Hawaii right now, in some areas they were got
- 1:04Speaker 1: they got thirty two inches in one day, thirty.
- 1:08Speaker 2: Two inches in one day, because they got clobbered at
- 1:11Speaker 2: the tail end of that hurricane. Yeah, it turned into
- 1:13Speaker 2: a tropical storm Lalla.
- 1:15Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:15Speaker 1: Yeah. But and I looked that name up too, that
- 1:18Speaker 1: that is an Hawaiian name.
- 1:19Speaker 3: It's it's okay.
- 1:21Speaker 4: It seemed like too happy of a name for a hurricane.
- 1:24Speaker 3: Exactly, very good, Natalie.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Yeah's at the service of the morning show, even though
- 1:31Speaker 2: still in recovery from that knee surgery.
- 1:34Speaker 3: Uh, did you have rain in your area? Natalie?
- 1:37Speaker 5: Oh?
- 1:37Speaker 4: Yeah, starting last night it was, you know, it was
- 1:40Speaker 4: coming down.
- 1:41Speaker 1: But I is it still raining now?
- 1:44Speaker 4: It sounds like it. I can't see anything. It's kind
- 1:46Speaker 4: of dark outside. But I'm surprised though New Jersey isn't
- 1:50Speaker 4: at a higher level because when I passed the rivers
- 1:53Speaker 4: by me, you know, they're pretty high and that's usually
- 1:57Speaker 4: my indication. So it felt like a rainy summer to me.
- 2:02Speaker 4: But guess not as much as we thought.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Yeah, And remember though we just we came out of
- 2:07Speaker 1: last year. It was really dry. Remember how dry it
- 2:10Speaker 1: was last year and we had all those fires. So
- 2:13Speaker 1: I don't know what they're talking about for a year.
- 2:16Speaker 1: I would imagine it's from the beginning of the year.
- 2:18Speaker 1: And so yeah, in the beginning of the year, they
- 2:21Speaker 1: had several fires. So so yeah, yeah, but what keeps
- 2:26Speaker 1: hitting me about that is like, twenty nine inches is
- 2:29Speaker 1: a lot of rain for a year. Thirty two inches
- 2:31Speaker 1: in a day.
- 2:32Speaker 3: Yeah, clobbered, clobbered.
- 2:34Speaker 2: And by the way, look at the Midwest, Indiana, many
- 2:38Speaker 2: of those states, they were in the water, so they've
- 2:41Speaker 2: had extreme flooding. But I want to take us back
- 2:45Speaker 2: to New York City because you know what I and
- 2:47Speaker 2: Nan she did yesterday and she was not a happy camper.
- 2:50Speaker 2: As I took my walking stick, which is about up
- 2:55Speaker 2: to my hip, from my toes to my hip, and
- 2:59Speaker 2: I started in the catch basins on the upper west
- 3:02Speaker 2: side because there are one hundred and fifty thousand in
- 3:04Speaker 2: the city of New York. This is where all the
- 3:06Speaker 2: excess water flows into. And people who are watching me
- 3:10Speaker 2: and they're saying, what are you doing with that? I said, watched,
- 3:13Speaker 2: this is not that long this stick. Watch how it
- 3:15Speaker 2: only will go down about halfway and then I put
- 3:18Speaker 2: I said, go ahead, push it down, and they say, yeah,
- 3:21Speaker 2: what's down there? I said, well, garbage flat, some jets,
- 3:24Speaker 2: you know, swill everything. There is nowhere for the water
- 3:27Speaker 2: to go. So if it's more than an inch. Guess what,
- 3:30Speaker 2: it's gonna end up in your basement. It's gonna end
- 3:32Speaker 2: up all over the streets and the sidewalks. And so
- 3:35Speaker 2: you got to you gotta use the Basic Maintenance which
- 3:38Speaker 2: used to be the Department of Sewers. This is what
- 3:40Speaker 2: they do the Ed Norton's remember of the honeymooners, Ed
- 3:44Speaker 2: Norton who said, I'm a sanite sewer engineer. You gotta
- 3:48Speaker 2: clean out the catch basins at least once a month.
- 3:50Speaker 2: They don't do it, and I'm sure they're not doing
- 3:52Speaker 2: it in some parts of the outer suburbs. And so
- 3:55Speaker 2: you have a walking stick, No, only for measuring. Okay,
- 4:00Speaker 2: uh if a catch bation goes down. That's a euphemism
- 4:03Speaker 2: for a cane. Yeah, I mean like Buford pusher and
- 4:06Speaker 2: walking tall. No, not a two by four.
- 4:08Speaker 4: Wait, like the cane I have.
- 4:10Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. There you go, there's your cane.
- 4:12Speaker 2: Well, one day we may all be walking around with
- 4:16Speaker 2: a cane. Larry, you and me and the senior city
- 4:19Speaker 2: down w o R senior citizen.
- 4:21Speaker 3: At home with who else?
- 4:24Speaker 2: Joe right, Joe Bartlett'll be there, John Gambling will be there.
- 4:28Speaker 3: What if you alumni will be there.
- 4:31Speaker 1: I love walking stick. Though that I have a walking stick.
- 4:35Speaker 1: I don't have a cane. I can walk perfectly fine.
- 4:38Speaker 1: I just bring a walking I only bring it to
- 4:40Speaker 1: measure things exactly well.
- 4:42Speaker 2: People thought I was really being weird until they saw
- 4:45Speaker 2: wow and ways halfway down. Now you think that's bad.
- 4:49Speaker 2: You go out to the Southwest. I've spent time out there.
- 4:52Speaker 3: I know you have.
- 4:53Speaker 2: Larry not far from Las Vegas is the biggest reservoir
- 4:57Speaker 2: in the United States. It was cre when they put
- 5:00Speaker 2: up the Hoover Dam, which was one of the biggest
- 5:03Speaker 2: development projects ever in the United States, and it feeds
- 5:07Speaker 2: the Colorado River. Unfortunately, the Southwest has been going through
- 5:11Speaker 2: severe drought and all.
- 5:13Speaker 3: The states feed off the Colorado River. But if you
- 5:15Speaker 3: look at the reservoir there, it's like down and a half.
- 5:19Speaker 2: I mean, boats are surfacing that it had been lost
- 5:23Speaker 2: like decades ago. Pretty soon we'll be we'll see the
- 5:28Speaker 2: bones and whatever other animals may have fallen into that reservoir.
- 5:33Speaker 3: It's really getting bad.
- 5:35Speaker 2: That affects drinking water power to twenty five million people
- 5:39Speaker 2: Los Angeles, major metropolitan areas, Phoenix, Las Vegas, and it's
- 5:45Speaker 2: just prolonged. So you know, when you go to the
- 5:47Speaker 2: Middle East, you go to the Persian Gulf, as I've been.
- 5:50Speaker 2: I remember nineteen ninety eight, it was the fiftieth anniversary
- 5:53Speaker 2: of the State of Israel, and some of the people
- 5:55Speaker 2: who are guiding me around say, hey, Curtis, would you
- 5:57Speaker 2: like to see the river Jordan? I said, oh, yeah, yeah,
- 6:00Speaker 2: naturally Saint John the Baptist baptizing Jesus. When we went there,
- 6:05Speaker 2: I saw a little trickle of water, little trickle of water.
- 6:08Speaker 2: Where's the rivish? The biggest problem in the future is
- 6:11Speaker 2: not going to be battles over oil, petroleum, or even
- 6:15Speaker 2: olive oil.
- 6:16Speaker 3: It's gonna be water.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Absolutely, and they're getting this right now in Europe.
- 6:20Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 6:20Speaker 2: But all those countries that I've discussed in the Middle East,
- 6:24Speaker 2: including the Persian Gold and Israel, they built these desalinization plants.
- 6:29Speaker 2: It takes about four years to build a plant to
- 6:32Speaker 2: turn the salt water into fresh water, requires a lot
- 6:35Speaker 2: of electricity in order to do it. But we're gonna desperate.
- 6:38Speaker 2: We need them in some places that are facing severe drought.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Yeah. I want to talk about like right now, because
- 6:43Speaker 1: what is happening in the Southwest is a big, big
- 6:46Speaker 1: deal because it's happening in Europe, and I don't know
- 6:48Speaker 1: if you've seen what they're doing in Europe. They now
- 6:51Speaker 1: have limited cooling water supplies for nuclear and coal fired
- 6:56Speaker 1: power plants. And that's how severe it's got now. If
- 7:01Speaker 1: you think about what we're doing in this country, by
- 7:03Speaker 1: the way, that's in Romania and Poland, the regional energy
- 7:07Speaker 1: supply has been killed by the drought. And I didn't
- 7:10Speaker 1: even know that was a thing, but it is. And
- 7:14Speaker 1: so now you think of all of these data centers
- 7:17Speaker 1: that are being built across the country, and there is renewal,
- 7:21Speaker 1: renewed interest in nuclear power plants. They're going to put
- 7:23Speaker 1: up more Jerseys looking at again, They're going to start
- 7:26Speaker 1: up some of theirs. Pennsylvania's looking at it again. New
- 7:29Speaker 1: York's a little slow on it, but at least they're interested.
- 7:33Speaker 1: How do you cool all those things if you don't
- 7:36Speaker 1: have the supply of water like what they're dealing with
- 7:38Speaker 1: in Europe right now. This is a real, an incredible emergency.
- 7:43Speaker 1: We're assuming a lot about the future that we're always
- 7:47Speaker 1: going to have a plentiful water supply until we.
- 7:52Speaker 3: Don't, well think of it.
- 7:53Speaker 2: Natalie Christia. Oh the quiet storm is in again. On
- 7:57Speaker 2: loan from Marc Simone to assist us studio. Have anything
- 8:01Speaker 2: to say this morning, Chris.

- 8:25Speaker 2: By the way, are you aware of, Chris, that every
- 8:28Speaker 2: human being sixty percent of their body is composed of water.
- 8:31Speaker 3: I think I've heard that before you good good biology class,
- 8:34Speaker 3: you were paying attention. Yeah, good, good good. But think
- 8:36Speaker 3: of it.

- 10:39Speaker 2: metro area. And guess who was coming back on the
- 10:41Speaker 2: plane with him ahead of when he got booed on
- 10:44Speaker 2: that stage in Wisconsin, Eric Adams Swaggerman with no player.
- 10:48Speaker 3: And you didn't let us know. I would have been
- 10:50Speaker 3: all over that. Why did you not tell us? I
- 10:53Speaker 3: mean I didn't know why he would.
- 10:54Speaker 6: We couldn't figure out why he was there, so I
- 10:55Speaker 6: didn't think it was No, Well, we kind of helped.
- 10:57Speaker 1: He wasn't there for that reason. He was there to
- 11:01Speaker 1: find out if this girlfriend was real and not imagine her.
- 11:04Speaker 6: No, No, she lives in Brooklyn. She's just from Michigan.
- 11:08Speaker 6: Say yeah, yeah, yeah, she was back visiting fans.
- 11:11Speaker 2: Does she read in the rye at Starbucks when she's
- 11:14Speaker 2: having her double latte? Uh?

- 12:14Speaker 1: Time Curtis Slawa and Larry Minty in the Morning on
- 12:18Speaker 1: sevent w R The for Yourself.
- 12:21Speaker 3: New York guaranteed human.
- 12:23Speaker 2: And major major news overnight. You know, the Kushners have
- 12:29Speaker 2: dominated the news cycle. Larry First, Kushner's brother. It's part
- 12:37Speaker 2: of that team that has brought to Lakers with the
- 12:40Speaker 2: former head of Disney Eisner for twelve billion dollars.
- 12:45Speaker 3: So it's very confusing. People are saying to me.
- 12:47Speaker 2: Wow, wait, kush to get all that money. That's his brother.
- 12:50Speaker 2: He's got his own money raising machine with Eisner separate.
- 12:55Speaker 2: But Jared Kushner, who is married to Donald Trump's daughter,
- 13:00Speaker 2: has been part of this duo that has traveled the
- 13:04Speaker 2: world on behalf of the President of the United States
- 13:07Speaker 2: attempting to bring peace to different areas of the country.
- 13:10Speaker 2: So he's been to the Ukraine, he's been to Russia,
- 13:13Speaker 2: and he spent a lot of time in the Middle East,
- 13:16Speaker 2: the Persian Gulf, and surprisingly he was in Cairo, Egypt
- 13:20Speaker 2: yesterday meeting with Hamas representatives of Hamas, the Arab nations
- 13:26Speaker 2: who are part of Donald Trump's Board of Peace. And
- 13:30Speaker 2: by the way, it took the president a full year
- 13:32Speaker 2: to get everybody on board to agree to a twenty
- 13:35Speaker 2: point plan so that Gaza can be restored, the people
- 13:40Speaker 2: can live there with a different government with Hamas giving
- 13:45Speaker 2: up their weapons and Israel withdrawing. And then a week
- 13:49Speaker 2: later it was Phebe Netanyahu, who's running for his life
- 13:52Speaker 2: to get re elected because he's behind in the polls
- 13:55Speaker 2: in Israel, his parliamentary elections are at the end of October,
- 13:59Speaker 2: who said no, no, no, when out withdrawing, Halmas must give
- 14:03Speaker 2: up all of its weapons first. So I'm assuming that
- 14:06Speaker 2: Jared Kushner will be going to meet with BB in
- 14:10Speaker 2: the next few hours to let him know, look, look
- 14:14Speaker 2: at all the work, Look at all these Arab nations
- 14:17Speaker 2: that are coming together. They've never come together like this before.
- 14:21Speaker 2: You're the only impediment to stopping this plan from moving forward.
- 14:26Speaker 2: The President himself, Donald Trump, has not weighed in on
- 14:29Speaker 2: this and the other thing going on. We know how
- 14:31Speaker 2: Mike Kakabi, who is the ambassador to Israel, very pro Israel,
- 14:36Speaker 2: very pro settler, actually announced over the weekend that a
- 14:41Speaker 2: siege of Palestinian homes in the West Bank was a
- 14:45Speaker 2: terrorist act and that BB has got to restrain some
- 14:49Speaker 2: of the settlers from just walking into Palestinian homes and
- 14:54Speaker 2: taking them over. And what really triggered this. One of
- 14:57Speaker 2: the homes was owned by a resident of Ohio who
- 15:00Speaker 2: happens to be a Palestinian descent, he complained, and it's
- 15:04Speaker 2: been a real mess. One lessing before you go to
- 15:08Speaker 2: the polling results, which I think we kind of shocking,
- 15:12Speaker 2: is that BB is moving to the far far far
- 15:16Speaker 2: fall right. He's got ministers with portfolio that are part
- 15:20Speaker 2: of his cabinet because unlike our situation, Donald Trump says,
- 15:25Speaker 2: not put together a coalition with Pete Hegsef or the
- 15:29Speaker 2: Treasury secretary or Rubio.
- 15:32Speaker 3: But in Israel you.
- 15:33Speaker 2: Have to get these little party people to be in
- 15:36Speaker 2: charge of different divisions. It's like to be in his
- 15:39Speaker 2: cabinet with portfolio. And so he has a minister of
- 15:43Speaker 2: National Security who said this over the weekend. He said,
- 15:47Speaker 2: it's no secret I disagree with BB. Targeted assassinations every night,
- 15:52Speaker 2: should take out thirty to forty Hamas members in Gaza,
- 15:58Speaker 2: and not just those who pose an immediate threat. There
- 16:01Speaker 2: are people there who are not worthy of life. They
- 16:04Speaker 2: shouldn't live, they're not even people. And he's called for
- 16:08Speaker 2: a mass expulsion of Palestinians from guys who are replaced
- 16:12Speaker 2: by Israelis man. That is an extreme position. So you
- 16:18Speaker 2: see Bbe should dismiss him for statements like that. I mean,
- 16:22Speaker 2: the guy is personally, as part of his cabinet said
- 16:24Speaker 2: I don't agree with the Prime Minister, and then he
- 16:27Speaker 2: has said some of the most horrible things that you
- 16:29Speaker 2: might even equate to ethnic cleansing, but he won't get
- 16:33Speaker 2: rid of them because he needs every coalition member in
- 16:37Speaker 2: order to get re elected. So I think this is
- 16:40Speaker 2: going to require another one on one conversation with Donald
- 16:44Speaker 2: Trump in which I think the President is going to
- 16:46Speaker 2: be dropping a lot of f bombs again because isn't
- 16:48Speaker 2: not good.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not good, and it's not been good for
- 16:51Speaker 1: Benjamin NATANYAHUO. You called the polls shocking, and I agree
- 16:55Speaker 1: with you. The polls that Harry Enton has and it's
- 16:58Speaker 1: not just one, it's ever polls done over the last
- 17:02Speaker 1: couple of months that show the popularity of Israel is diminishing.
- 17:07Speaker 1: And it's not just among the young, and it's not
- 17:10Speaker 1: just among young Democrats. It is across the board.
- 17:14Speaker 5: Look at these numbers on Israel, the net favorability, they're
- 17:17Speaker 5: all negative.
- 17:18Speaker 3: They're all negative.
- 17:18Speaker 5: If Sos minus ten points, Fox minus eleven points, m
- 17:22Speaker 5: You Marquette University law schools. Look at that minus twenty points,
- 17:25Speaker 5: Pure Research Center minus twenty three points negative negative, negative negative,
- 17:31Speaker 5: and Galliperle this year was also negative. We're not just
- 17:33Speaker 5: talking about the Democratic base anymore. We're talking about the
- 17:37Speaker 5: general electorate as well. The general electorate has turned against Israel.
- 17:41Speaker 5: This is not just a left issue. It is an
- 17:43Speaker 5: American issue when it comes to opinions on Israel.
- 17:45Speaker 1: I know a lot of people like to point at
- 17:47Speaker 1: Donald Trump and say his popularity has wanne because of Iran.
- 17:51Speaker 1: And it has, but not as much as Benjamin Netanyaw
- 17:53Speaker 1: who has on the world stage. And I do think
- 17:57Speaker 1: the fighting between Trump and netnya who has hurt net
- 18:01Speaker 1: and Yahoo a lot because it almost gave permission to
- 18:04Speaker 1: the Republicans. Hey guess what, you can hate them too,
- 18:07Speaker 1: but listen to his numbers.
- 18:08Speaker 7: It's Netting Yahoo himself was a major problem when it
- 18:11Speaker 7: comes to public opinion in the United States.
- 18:13Speaker 3: Look at this.
- 18:14Speaker 7: Americans say they are not confident when it comes to Netan,
- 18:17Speaker 7: Yahoo and world affairs.
- 18:18Speaker 5: Look at this in twenty twenty three, They're not confident.
- 18:20Speaker 5: Percentage was forty two, up significantly up like a rocket,
- 18:24Speaker 5: up to fifty nine percent. That's a nearly twenty point
- 18:27Speaker 5: movement in just three years time.
- 18:30Speaker 7: And now the majority of Americans say they're not confident
- 18:32Speaker 7: when it comes to bebing net in Yahoo and World affairs.
- 18:35Speaker 7: And we're not just talking Democrats here, we're talking the
- 18:38Speaker 7: entire American public.
- 18:40Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's been all bad news. Right. It's Gaza,
- 18:42Speaker 1: it's Lebanon, it's Iran, it's constantly a problem, it constantly
- 18:46Speaker 1: needs world attention, and it's constantly not good when you
- 18:50Speaker 1: look at Israel side of it. So you can see
- 18:53Speaker 1: why there would be negative publicity. But I can't emphasize
- 18:57Speaker 1: this enough. I do believe that it's the dune Trump
- 19:00Speaker 1: influence when he started to turn on on Netanyahu a
- 19:04Speaker 1: little bit and he's trying to backtrack from that. But
- 19:06Speaker 1: you're right, Curtis, this next conversation is going to be
- 19:09Speaker 1: full of f bombs.
- 19:11Speaker 7: And it's not just the young I said, you might
- 19:13Speaker 7: have expected younger Democrats to be leading the charge and
- 19:16Speaker 7: not being confident bb Neahannah.
- 19:18Speaker 3: Who, But in fact it was older Democrats.
- 19:20Speaker 7: But look at the reverse here, look among Republicans, because
- 19:23Speaker 7: here there is a massive age and look at this
- 19:25Speaker 7: Republicans who.
- 19:26Speaker 3: Are not confident Bbnahian Yahoo.
- 19:28Speaker 1: Look at this, Younger.
- 19:29Speaker 7: Republicans nearly three and five were talking fifty eight percent
- 19:33Speaker 7: compared to thirty percent of Republicans who are fifty and older.
- 19:37Speaker 2: So I think the lesson here is because every time
- 19:41Speaker 2: I've had conversations with Jewish Americans on this, those that
- 19:44Speaker 2: support bb which by the way, is a shrinking number
- 19:48Speaker 2: of Jewish Americans too, they'll immediately accuse me and others
- 19:52Speaker 2: of being anti Semiti. No, it's like if you're looking
- 19:56Speaker 2: at the American race for president, whoever turns out to
- 19:59Speaker 2: be the report public in Kennedy versus the Democratic candy.
- 20:02Speaker 2: So if you're in Israel and you're opposed to a
- 20:04Speaker 2: particular cannedy, doesn't mean you're anti America. So, as I've
- 20:09Speaker 2: told them, I said, I love Israel. I've been there
- 20:11Speaker 2: three times. It's a great country. I just hate Boebe
- 20:14Speaker 2: what he's done. He's gone so far to the right,
- 20:17Speaker 2: and it's like no time, he's like a pariah internationally.
- 20:21Speaker 2: Look at these numbers that have been turned against them,
- 20:24Speaker 2: and it's now impacting our country because of the perception here,
- 20:28Speaker 2: and it's not good for Jewish people either. So at
- 20:31Speaker 2: the end of October he has his parliamentary elections. He's
- 20:34Speaker 2: been in close to twenty years.
- 20:36Speaker 1: That's the problem. Do you just put your finger on
- 20:38Speaker 1: the problem. Anybody that sticks around that long is going
- 20:42Speaker 1: to get high negatives constantly. And the problem he has
- 20:46Speaker 1: had is that he's desperate. He's been desperate now for
- 20:50Speaker 1: the last couple of years. And if you've seen during
- 20:52Speaker 1: that desperation, his poll numbers continue to go down. Listen,
- 20:57Speaker 1: if he loses this election and write now, I would
- 21:00Speaker 1: say he's going to lose this election. He may be
- 21:03Speaker 1: convicted after that. I mean, there's going to be a
- 21:05Speaker 1: tribunal after that to put him up. So he is desperate,
- 21:10Speaker 1: he's scared, he knows what's coming. These numbers don't help
- 21:14Speaker 1: them in this country. So I don't know exactly where
- 21:19Speaker 1: he's going to go from here. But I think one
- 21:22Speaker 1: of the reasons you see him as a hardliner and
- 21:25Speaker 1: striking out constantly is because that plays with a certain
- 21:29Speaker 1: amount of the public in Israel, and that's all he's got.
- 21:32Speaker 2: Okay, I think to be fair on this, if BB
- 21:36Speaker 2: would just play along with Trump and the Board of
- 21:40Speaker 2: he said, like twenty nations set have involved. I've never
- 21:44Speaker 2: seen such an impressive group of people who are in
- 21:48Speaker 2: the same room and they agree and say, Okay, I
- 21:52Speaker 2: give you this much time in order for Hamash to
- 21:55Speaker 2: turn over their weapons to you. But if after this
- 21:59Speaker 2: amount of time they've not turned over their weapons too,
- 22:01Speaker 2: you will have no choice but to come back in
- 22:04Speaker 2: nice right there, It's not hard for them to come
- 22:06Speaker 2: back in. Right now, they control sixty percent of the Gaza,
- 22:10Speaker 2: only forty percent is controlled by Hamas. Hamas is willing
- 22:14Speaker 2: to give up control of the forty percent to a
- 22:17Speaker 2: new authority, and then they said they will start giving
- 22:21Speaker 2: up their weapons, so give it time. Trump is invested
- 22:25Speaker 2: a year into this.
- 22:26Speaker 1: I agree with you. I wish he would do that,
- 22:29Speaker 1: but apparently in his own country, being a hardliner plays
- 22:32Speaker 1: really well with a large number of the population. So
- 22:37Speaker 1: if he pulls it back now, he's going to look
- 22:39Speaker 1: like a flip flop.
- 22:40Speaker 2: Well, that's why I think it's incumbent upon Trump who
- 22:43Speaker 2: has to bear deal with this, because this is a
- 22:45Speaker 2: slap in his face. Let's face it, after he's put
- 22:48Speaker 2: a lot of hard work into this. Bbe you're so
- 22:51Speaker 2: dependent on aid from America. I'm not talking about military aid.
- 22:55Speaker 2: But this other aid don't put me in a position
- 22:58Speaker 2: where I have to agree with some of your credit
- 23:00Speaker 2: said it's time to cut aid because you don't want
- 23:03Speaker 2: to play ball. You don't seem like you want peace.
- 23:05Speaker 2: You just seem like you want endless what and it
- 23:08Speaker 2: serves your interest, but it does not serve the interests
- 23:11Speaker 2: of Israeli people, or American people, or peace in the
- 23:14Speaker 2: Middle East.
- 23:15Speaker 3: In Persian Goal Hi won New York's Knew Wake Up
- 23:18Speaker 3: Call Curtis Leewa and Larry Minty in the Morning on
- 23:22Speaker 3: seven ten WR.
- 23:24Speaker 1: Well, this weekend, it looked like it was going to
- 23:26Speaker 1: be all over for bay Own, the Little League team
- 23:31Speaker 1: that has been just dominant in New Jersey and won
- 23:35Speaker 1: the championship game here. They had to go up to
- 23:38Speaker 1: Connecticut to win the region and get a ticket to
- 23:41Speaker 1: the Little League World Series. But man, their best player
- 23:45Speaker 1: is Mason Rencon. In the in the championship game, he
- 23:49Speaker 1: hit three home runs. He also pitched and and had
- 23:53Speaker 1: like ten strikeouts. So he's he's amazing, you know, He's
- 23:56Speaker 1: like remember Todd Frazier when Tom trev from Tom's River
- 24:00Speaker 1: and the litt League World Series went on to be
- 24:02Speaker 1: a pro player. That's what this kid is like. He's
- 24:05Speaker 1: just dominant. So in Connecticut they walked him every time
- 24:07Speaker 1: he got up. They just were not going to pitch
- 24:10Speaker 1: to him. And they were up five to nothing going
- 24:13Speaker 1: into the fifth inning. Connecticut was but man, was there
- 24:18Speaker 1: a comeback basic Grant code scores police being held at
- 24:25Speaker 1: third and bad has come back to god front of
- 24:28Speaker 1: the fifth going front by in the final score by
- 24:32Speaker 1: the way, seven to six. They just won this one,
- 24:35Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter. They have got a ticket to
- 24:38Speaker 1: the Little League World Series.
- 24:41Speaker 3: Code they're run to the toss it over.
- 24:45Speaker 2: They were down but never OUTO is going to Williams core.
- 24:50Speaker 1: That was on ESPN.
- 24:51Speaker 3: By the way, it was amazing.
- 24:53Speaker 4: I was watching it.
- 24:54Speaker 1: Did you really Yeah?
- 24:56Speaker 4: I think we came on when they were down and
- 24:58Speaker 4: I was like, oh, no, bay Own, come on, and
- 25:00Speaker 4: it looked like it was not gonna happen. And then
- 25:04Speaker 4: and they looked, you know, they looked like they were
- 25:06Speaker 4: having a hard time, and then just something I don't
- 25:09Speaker 4: know if a coach.
- 25:09Speaker 3: Talked to them.
- 25:10Speaker 4: It just all turned around. And you know what I
- 25:13Speaker 4: was really amazed with because I have been watching, you know,
- 25:16Speaker 4: a Little League World Series.
- 25:17Speaker 7: Here and there.
- 25:18Speaker 4: I just find it fun. But sometimes the kids look
- 25:21Speaker 4: like they're seventeen. These kids looked like they were twelve.
- 25:25Speaker 1: Yeah they really did. Yeah.
- 25:27Speaker 4: Yeah, they didn't look over age like sometimes they do.
- 25:31Speaker 4: So it was incredible.
- 25:33Speaker 1: Now everybody's gonna walk around coming because that seemed to work.
- 25:37Speaker 1: I mean, they lost the game, but at least they
- 25:39Speaker 1: were in the game, and they were leading a lot
- 25:40Speaker 1: of the game. Everybody's gonna welcome down. Well, you were
- 25:43Speaker 1: looking for a nickname. I think I got one because
- 25:45Speaker 1: I've been in and out of Bayonne. I love Bayone,
- 25:47Speaker 1: the gateway to the world. Chuck Wepner was a great
- 25:51Speaker 1: heavyweight bob bouncer there. He took on Muhammad Ali, almost
- 25:56Speaker 1: took them down. How about the Bayone Bleeders. They bleeding
- 26:00Speaker 1: just like Chuck Wepner, but he was never down, never out.
- 26:04Speaker 1: They got a statue to Chuck Crop. Now, how about
- 26:06Speaker 1: that the Bayone Bleeders. We'll have to run it by them. No,
- 26:09Speaker 1: I don't think they'll go for it. My parents won't
- 26:11Speaker 1: go for you know, with blood, I'm not sure in
- 26:13Speaker 1: today's today's day and age, anything to do with blood
- 26:16Speaker 1: in the game.
- 26:16Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what what also took place.
- 26:19Speaker 2: Iowa got into the finals in williams Sport, beating Wisconsin
- 26:23Speaker 2: seven to six, but they were stealing signs now and literally,
- 26:27Speaker 2: you can do it in the major league, she can't.
- 26:31Speaker 2: And Tulsa had an ineligible player, which reminded me, based
- 26:34Speaker 2: on what Natalie had said, looking at some of these kids,
- 26:37Speaker 2: sometimes they do look like they're sixteen or seventeen. In
- 26:40Speaker 2: two thousand and one, New York City was poised to
- 26:44Speaker 2: see potentially the Washington Heights team win the Little League
- 26:47Speaker 2: World Series in Williamsport. The guy was pitching and hitting
- 26:50Speaker 2: home runs with Danny al Monte. He was fourteen years old.
- 26:54Speaker 2: He was throwing a seventy eight mile per hour fastball.
- 26:57Speaker 7: Come on.
- 26:58Speaker 2: They finished third place and then the record was wiped
- 27:01Speaker 2: out when they found out the kid was fourteen, maybe.
- 27:03Speaker 3: Even older, originally born in the Dominican Republic.
- 27:06Speaker 2: But uh man, you gotta you gotta take DNA tests
- 27:09Speaker 2: to some of these guys.
- 27:10Speaker 3: They go on beards when they're supposedly fourteen.
- 27:15Speaker 4: I'm sorry, did we ever tell you what the name was?
- 27:18Speaker 1: I did find the nickname.
- 27:20Speaker 4: They're called the Fighting Bees.
- 27:24Speaker 1: I thought Bleeders was bad, but fighting bees like that
- 27:28Speaker 1: the Bayone bleeders because they were bleeding they were changing. Yeah,
- 27:34Speaker 1: the fighting bees. I mean, what do they put on
- 27:36Speaker 1: their uniforms A bumblebee?
- 27:39Speaker 3: It doesn't I did see that. No, for some people
- 27:44Speaker 3: it does. But the tradition continues.
- 27:47Speaker 2: So you had the girls team in softball from Tom's River.
- 27:52Speaker 2: You have the boys team from Bayone in the Williamsport
- 27:56Speaker 2: Little League World Series, which every kid grew up hope
- 28:00Speaker 2: one day they might be able to enter.
- 28:02Speaker 3: So it's been a big New Jersey year so far.
- 28:05Speaker 1: Every year, every year New Jersey does well, they don't
- 28:09Speaker 1: They seem to have someone going there every single year.
- 28:13Speaker 1: This is the first for Bayone though.
- 28:15Speaker 3: This is a big deal for oh hell yeah. And
- 28:17Speaker 3: I mean they enjoy the tradition.
- 28:19Speaker 2: If you've ever been a Bayone, it's almost like you're
- 28:22Speaker 2: on a time machine back into the nineteen fifties.
- 28:25Speaker 3: It really. It's kept so many traditions alive there. I
- 28:28Speaker 3: love Bayone.
- 28:29Speaker 2: If I weren't born and raised in Brooklyn, I wish
- 28:31Speaker 2: I wouldn't been born and raised. How doers?
- 28:34Speaker 4: I could see you as a Bayone boy, I really could.
- 28:37Speaker 1: Yeah, you could see him anywhere else but New York really, well, no,
- 28:41Speaker 1: it was in New York.
- 28:42Speaker 3: If it wasn't, well, remember just in Jersey.
- 28:44Speaker 2: Bayone hop, skip and a jump. You take the bridge
- 28:47Speaker 2: in a Staten Island. Next spot over the arizontal you're
- 28:51Speaker 2: in Brooklyn, but it's away
