  Speaker 3: Such a pleasure to be on with you guys.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: And I'd like you to meet our owner and chief
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: bottle washer, John Katsatit's You can hear him every every
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: hour of the day on WAB soon. I'm always on.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: You know, I can't sleep at night.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I'm on at three o'clock in the morning, four o'clock
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: in the morning, five o'clock in the morning.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: He tried to crash my show one day and I said, no, John,
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: this is my hour and dropping an app.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: The bad news is, John, now has your phone number?
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Any hot news from Washington Today News?
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: You know, there's always hot news in Washington. Of course,
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: President actually doesn't have any public events in town today
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: because he's heading to reading Pennsylvania. He'll be there this
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: afternoon delivering remarks at a truck manufacturing plant. That's around
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: two pm Eastern time, and the speech is focusing on
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: American manufacturing, the domestic trucking industry. But of course everyone
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: is buzzing in Washington about, you know, the president's comments
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: on the reflecting pool. We can't get away from that
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: and the paint and the algae blooms and the you know,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: he says it's not the result of the big makeover,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: the sixteen and a half million dollars makeover, and he's
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: claiming he has some evidence of vandalism to the reflecting pool.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: We've noticed in Washington that the administration is bumped up
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: law enforcement around it. You're seeing National Guard members, US
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Marshalls service members are around. Other law enforcement agencies are
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: down kind of patrolling by the National Mall as well,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: and we hear there have been some arrests made. They're
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: also ticketing people that you know, try to dip their
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: fingers in and touch it, touching the water with their
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: hands to get a little bit of history there. So
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: we're watching that. Something else big in Washington today. Of course, Congress,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: we're following this bipartisan bill, an actual bipartisan bill pasted
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: in Washington.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: It is true.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: It is an overwhelmingly past sweeping housing affordability bill. So
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Senate passed it last night. It now goes to the
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: House is expected to pass it very quickly, and it
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: should head to the President's desk probably by tomorrow or
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: a little bit later on this week. So watching that
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: as well. Of course, there's some big events in Washington
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: coming up this week, including the Great American State Fair
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: and President Trump's expected to headline the kickoff event tomorrow night.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: For that kind of looking into what to expect, I
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: know that they said the Maha movement is part of
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: what we'll see at this Great American State Fair. But
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: healthy eating in fair food doesn't quite go together. So
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: still anticipating and a lot of fried food on a
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: stick at least we can hope.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Well, please Saycelin, this is Jake Novak first of all,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and I give you a papal dispensation. This will not,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: this will not, this will not conflict with your with
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the rules of bias and reporting. Can we please make
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: a public service announcement to everyone, Please do not walk, in, vandalize,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: or go anywhere near reflecting Pools. The last person we
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: allowed to do it was Robin Right Penn as Jenny
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and Forrest Gump when she waits into the Lincoln Memorial.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I didn't even know if that was the real Lincoln Memorial.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: But if you're not, if you're not Robin right Penn
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: in Forrest Gump, please do not walk into the Lincoln
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Memorial reflecting pool Do not touch it. It's not for this,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: you know, no touching. This is not but all kidding aside.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Another thing that we're looking at in DC this week,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: and I know that it's one of those things. Any
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: minute now, we could get some of these very big
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court decisions, including the one about birthright citizenship, the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: one about whether or not President Trump can legally fire
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Lisa Cook, the the Federal the Federal Reserve governor. I mean,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: talk a little but listen, you know you're a reporter
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: in the field. Talk a little bit about how you
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: have to pivot there. Suddenly we're asking you to go
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: from covering political movements and the way votes are going,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: and suddenly you've got to become Alan Dershowitz or a
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Felix Frankfurter. I mean, you know, you got to be
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: ready for these kinds of things, don't you.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And the Supreme Court cases get very very weedy,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: very inside baseball, very quick. And so my job obviously
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: is to check out what the big cases are and
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: when they do come down with rulings and try to
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: make it sound, you know, understandable to everyday people because
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: people don't want to hear all the nitty gritty and details.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: But Supreme Court has some big cases and there's about
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: I think nineteen more rulings that they need to get
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: to before early July, so they have a whole lot
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: on their plate. And we do understand that this morning
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: around ten am is when first list first rulings are
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: supposed to come out. They don't ahead of time tell
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: us what exactly they will rule on for the day,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: so we kind of follow along to see what is
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: going to happen. But, like you said, some big cases
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: that we're kind of waiting for, and we will pivot
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: too if necessary.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Stacey Lynn. Another question. Now, now this is serious because
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I used to live and work in Washington, DC. That's
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: another one of my addresses, Fernando, and I can't believe it,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: so listen, it is a changing city ever since the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: George W. Bush administration, it has been booming and booming
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: with a lot of construction, with a lot of building up.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: And also, so what's it like to actually work there?
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: First of all, the one thing I've noticed is there
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: are good restaurants in Washington, d C. Now, that was
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: not the case in the seventies, eighties and early nineties
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: because no one's from there, Hardly anyone actually grow who
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: works there grew up there, and you need ethnic communities
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: to create good restaurants. But what's it like doing radio
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: reporting out of Washington, d C? And living I assume
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: you're living either in the district during nearby summer. You
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: don't have to give us your address, you can do.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: That later, right, But I will say, I will say
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: nothing is going to trump New York when it comes
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: to restaurants. But you are absolutely correct. DC is like
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: ever evolving And I think you know, like you said,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: all these transplants that are moving in and working here
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: and around the area are always looking for, you know,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: good food and food that reflects maybe their heritage and culture.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: And you are seeing more and more pockets of that
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: around the city, which is great. It's a great thing.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: It is definitely a growing and thriving market. It was
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: kind of a worrisome when a lot of the federal governments,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: you know, we're downsizing, and you know, even through COVID
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: when people you know, were working from home and then
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: didn't come back into the office on how that would work.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: But yeah, indeed, right now it does feel like it's
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: booming once again and things are thriving. The construction, like
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: you said, is always a challenge. Getting in and around
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: the district, whether you're visiting, whether you're working here, whether
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: you're you know, just kind of in and out for
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: you know, one day during the week or so, is
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: always a challenge. You're always seeing construction, they're always trying
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: to beautify the city a little bit more. And uh, yeah,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: it's definitely a challenge. Metro obviously the way to go
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: if you are trying to get around Sacy.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Sacy, this is I'm sorry, Lee, Sacy. This Fernando Matteo.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Welcome to the WABC family.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Thanks.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, we're here with all state Jake.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: He's I think he's lived every state, but first of all,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: or rest warrants in any of those states.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: None.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: First of all, you know, your voice is very soothing.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: It's very very nice to listen to. And are you
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Are you a DC person or do you come from
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: another state.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: I grew up in Maryland and have always lived in
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: either the DC area or Maryland. I moved for one
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: job way back in my twenties. I moved up to Massachusetts.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: I lived on Cape Cod and I moved in radio
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: up there for a brief amount of time and then
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: got pulled back into this area. And obviously the news
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: world in DC is always, you know, always always something
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: going on, So always work in this area.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Please report the good things that the president is doing.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: Make us all aware of what's going on in DC
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: and how the GOP and the Republican Party led by
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: President Trump is delivering for America. In everything we hear
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: is always negative stuff. We don't hear about all of
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: the good things that he is doing. And I hope
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: that you know you're going to report some of those
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: good things.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Absolutely two sides to every story, and we need to
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: deliver the news to the people.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Is Stacey Lynn, our new Washington correspondent for the Worldwide
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: News Networks, brings decades of experience John in that position,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: and we are very happy to have her here, but she.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Sounds like she's only twenty nine.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: Maybe she is thinking that I love that.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: That's why I didn't get into hard numbers. We don't
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: want people doing the backwards math on that. But overall,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: the important thing to know is she really knows what
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: she's doing. She knows where the bodies are buried, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: she'll get to them.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Yes, and we're not going to ask you how much
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: you weigh either. Don't worry, we're not.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Going to do that.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: You never asked one her age away.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:55
