- 0:00Speaker 1: So did it wake you up? Those thunderstorms in the
- 0:03Speaker 1: middle of the night? Did it wake you up, Natalie?
- 0:07Speaker 2: Woke me up.
- 0:08Speaker 3: It shook me out of bed, literally.
- 0:10Speaker 1: Wow.
- 0:10Speaker 3: I mean, they were close. Very close.
- 0:14Speaker 4: One shook my house.
- 0:16Speaker 1: It was one of those systems that when it comes through,
- 0:21Speaker 1: the beginning of the system is going to have a
- 0:23Speaker 1: lot of lightning and a lot of thunder. There was
- 0:26Speaker 1: a few times, two or three times, my whole house
- 0:29Speaker 1: lit up. You know, because it was close. It was
- 0:32Speaker 1: all of a sudden this flash of light. It was
- 0:35Speaker 1: total darkness, and it was light for like two seconds.
- 0:38Speaker 5: And then you look at the clock and say, how
- 0:39Speaker 5: much time do I have left? Am I going to
- 0:40Speaker 5: be able to fall back asleep?
- 0:42Speaker 3: Exactly.
- 0:44Speaker 5: Or am I up for the day now?
- 0:47Speaker 3: But they were quick moving. That's what was nice. They
- 0:49Speaker 3: were in and out of the area. And you saw
- 0:52Speaker 3: the lightning.
- 0:52Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 0:53Speaker 6: So now, if you wanted to check if there was
- 0:56Speaker 6: any damage to your property, because sometimes there is. You're
- 1:00Speaker 6: told don't go out for a full 30 minutes until.
- 1:04Speaker 3: After the storm has passed. And you say to yourself, why?
- 1:08Speaker 6: Well, there's always a danger you could end up like
- 1:11Speaker 6: that guy in Staten Island who worked for Congresswoman Nicole Maliotakis, remember,
- 1:15Speaker 6: got hit by the lightning, went down.
- 1:18Speaker 3: A neighbor helped him.
- 1:20Speaker 6: And we got to find out if he won the
- 1:23Speaker 6: lotto because he bought a lotto ticket. That's the first
- 1:25Speaker 6: thing you notice, Larry, since he's a lucky guy.
- 1:29Speaker 5: But I'm hoping, I'm hoping that this all means this
- 1:32Speaker 5: weekend is going to be gorgeous because a lot of
- 1:35Speaker 5: people have a long weekend. It's looking right now like
- 1:39Speaker 5: it's a pretty perfect Labor Day weekend.
- 1:41Speaker 3: We all deserve a great weekend.
- 1:43Speaker 7: Yes.
- 1:44Speaker 3: I deserve a great weekend.
- 1:45Speaker 8: You do.
- 1:46Speaker 1: I do deserve a great weekend, but I have birthday parties, kids'
- 1:49Speaker 1: birthday parties all weekend long.
- 1:52Speaker 3: Not that I don't love them.
- 1:54Speaker 1: It's my grandson who's having a birthday party. You've got
- 1:57Speaker 1: to go then.
- 1:58Speaker 3: But two birthday parties? I've got to go to two
- 2:00Speaker 3: birthday parties for the same grandson?
- 2:02Speaker 9: No.
- 2:02Speaker 3: Seriously, that's stretching it a little bit, isn't it? I
- 2:05Speaker 3: would not be complaining about that. That's right. Oh, stay shy.
- 2:10Speaker 3: I can't wait.
- 2:11Speaker 1: He can't wait to be there.
- 2:13Speaker 6: I'm assuming we check off the box that says you'd
- 2:16Speaker 6: be going for the last weekend for Labor Day down
- 2:19Speaker 6: to the Jersey Shore.
- 2:20Speaker 3: That will not be on your list of places.
- 2:23Speaker 1: I might be able to make it down. I don't
- 2:25Speaker 1: want to do Sunday and Monday because then you hit
- 2:27Speaker 1: the traffic on the way back on both those days because.
- 2:30Speaker 1: People put in their rental homes on Sunday and they
- 2:33Speaker 1: come back. And then Monday, if they have a house
- 2:35Speaker 1: down there, they come back. So, no, I think– Oh,
- 2:37Speaker 1: deal with the traffic.
- 2:38Speaker 3: You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to
- 2:40Speaker 3: sit home and sulk.
- 2:41Speaker 4: Oh, don't do that.
- 2:41Speaker 3: That's a good plan. But hop along, Natalie.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Yes.
- 2:45Speaker 3: Hopping, literally. No doubt, who is now recovering.
- 2:49Speaker 6: Completely while also doing your producer duties here in studio.
- 2:54Speaker 6: You'll be going down to the Jersey Shore, no doubt,
- 2:57Speaker 6: for this final weekend, right?
- 2:58Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely.
- 2:59Speaker 6: I have to ask you both because it's been such
- 3:02Speaker 6: a topsy-turvy summer with extreme weather flash, flooding.
- 3:07Speaker 3: Hot, humid.
- 3:09Speaker 6: How do you think it's been for the vendors, the businesses,
- 3:12Speaker 6: the restaurants who are so dependent on that rush of
- 3:16Speaker 6: a crowd from the Memorial Day weekend to the Labor
- 3:19Speaker 6: Day weekend?
- 3:19Speaker 3: Oh, I have an answer. I have an answer.
- 3:23Speaker 1: I've told you before, Mike's Seafood in Seattle City, that's
- 3:26Speaker 1: a family-owned business, and he's doing great. He's having a
- 3:30Speaker 1: great— you know why? Because people— Can't go to the beach.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Sometimes they can't go to the boardwalk at night.
- 3:35Speaker 3: What are they going to do? They're going to go
- 3:37Speaker 3: to a restaurant. Wow.
- 3:38Speaker 1: I didn't think of that. The restaurants are doing really,
- 3:41Speaker 1: really well down the shore.
- 3:44Speaker 6: And so, Natalie, yourself, your perception, even though you've been
- 3:47Speaker 6: in pain and hopping around, has it been a good
- 3:52Speaker 6: summer for the Jersey Shore?
- 3:53Speaker 5: You know, when I go into the towns like Lavalette,
- 3:56Speaker 5: you know, around where there's a lot of businesses, it's packed.
- 4:00Speaker 4: It's packed.
- 4:02Speaker 3: Yeah, because even when it rains, people are on vacation.
- 4:05Speaker 3: They want to do something.
- 4:06Speaker 1: So they go to the stores, they'll go to the
- 4:08Speaker 1: boardwalk and stay under the awnings and walk from store
- 4:11Speaker 1: to store to store to store.
- 4:13Speaker 10: Right.
- 4:13Speaker 5: You know, you have the people, you said, you know,
- 4:15Speaker 5: you rented the house for the week. You're going to
- 4:17Speaker 5: go out and you're going to spend money. I mean,
- 4:18Speaker 5: maybe day trippers wouldn't be going down, but I felt
- 4:21Speaker 5: like the weekends were always one day that you can
- 4:23Speaker 5: pull out.
- 4:25Speaker 6: But I think the other thing you commented early on
- 4:27Speaker 6: in this summer process of the Jersey Shore is how
- 4:30Speaker 6: well law enforcement has done in imposing curfews on their beaches,
- 4:35Speaker 6: also the boardwalks because of all the wilding incidences in
- 4:40Speaker 6: the past that might have deterred people from coming down like, oh,
- 4:43Speaker 6: we don't want to be with all those crazy teenagers.
- 4:45Speaker 6: Apparently from Cape May right on up to Point Pleasant,
- 4:48Speaker 6: they've done an excellent job.
- 4:50Speaker 1: You really haven't heard much. Well, Cape May had that
- 4:52Speaker 1: one problem. It's funny that you said Cape May because
- 4:55Speaker 1: the place that never has any problems and doesn't really
- 4:58Speaker 1: even need any laws never has any problems because Because
- 5:02Speaker 1: it used to be that the average age there was deceased.
- 5:05Speaker 1: And so now it's gotten to yuppies. Yuppies are starting
- 5:08Speaker 1: to go there now. And then all of a sudden,
- 5:11Speaker 1: because of all the laws and the curfews in Wildwood
- 5:14Speaker 1: and Ocean City and Seaside Heights, all up and down
- 5:17Speaker 1: the coast, the only place that didn't have a curfew,
- 5:20Speaker 1: because everybody went to bed early anyway, was Cape May.
- 5:23Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, they had.
- 5:25Speaker 3: They had these flash parties on the beach.
- 5:28Speaker 6: Cape May was God's waiting room, right? It was sort
- 5:30Speaker 6: of the equivalent of what Florida used to be. If
- 5:32Speaker 6: you went to Cape May, you were just waiting. But
- 5:34Speaker 6: speaking of beaches, when you were in New York City,
- 5:38Speaker 6: we have this phenomenon that has occurred now that you
- 5:40Speaker 6: really don't have down by the Jersey Shore and other places,
- 5:44Speaker 6: random attacks. Almost every day, the headlines, a random attack.
- 5:49Speaker 6: Not pre-orchestrated, not part of a gang, not part of
- 5:52Speaker 6: a group that's going to an area to commit crime
- 5:55Speaker 6: and then when confronted uses lethal force.
- 5:59Speaker 3: Individual random attacks.
- 6:01Speaker 6: So I'll give you an update on my nephew who
- 6:03Speaker 6: was the victim of that random attack the other night. Hours, remember,
- 6:08Speaker 6: after that woman took those two knives in Times Square,
- 6:12Speaker 6: stabbed a man who was with his wife from Rhode Island.
- 6:16Speaker 6: He luckily recovered and then as she moved up a block,
- 6:19Speaker 6: She killed that young mother who had just come off
- 6:23Speaker 6: of her leave for caring for her child. She's an
- 6:27Speaker 6: executive at Bank of America. What a great story. Her
- 6:31Speaker 6: and her husband, they met at Fordham Law. She went
- 6:33Speaker 6: to the University of Pennsylvania. She was just getting back
- 6:36Speaker 6: her first day work.
- 6:38Speaker 3: And now... She's no longer with us. She's dead.
- 6:42Speaker 6: Again, what do they call it? A random attack with
- 6:45Speaker 6: my nephew. He and his girlfriend and a friend in
- 6:49Speaker 6: their early 20s were walking over to that Legos location
- 6:54Speaker 6: near Rockefeller Center. It's like huge, you know, people around
- 6:57Speaker 6: the block, a lot of tourists buying Legos. They were
- 7:00Speaker 6: going there to look at some of the new stuff
- 7:02Speaker 6: and a car almost hit him. And the next thing
- 7:05Speaker 6: you know, the driver gets out. This is in front
- 7:07Speaker 6: of St. Patrick's Cathedral, across from Saks Fifth Avenue, pulls
- 7:11Speaker 6: out a straight edge razor and cuts him in which
- 7:19Speaker 6: he took in about over 38 stitches. And then he
- 7:22Speaker 6: had a collapse along. So he's in really bad shape
- 7:25Speaker 6: at Bellevue. He is nicely recovering now. The police are
- 7:28Speaker 6: all over it. The police commissioner told me they were
- 7:32Speaker 6: able to trace the license plate of this BMW. She
- 7:36Speaker 6: didn't say flock camera, but it must have been because
- 7:38Speaker 6: they arrested the guy upstate, you know, the license plate
- 7:41Speaker 6: reading technology that exists. And I guess we're just waiting
- 7:45Speaker 6: to see when he's going to be transported down for
- 7:48Speaker 6: arraignment in Manhattan. But my nephew doing well. But again,
- 7:51Speaker 6: it's under that category, random attack. There's no way you could...
- 7:55Speaker 6: Make rhyme or reason of it. And this comes on
- 7:57Speaker 6: the heels.
- 7:58Speaker 3: In Brighton Beach. We're speaking of beaches.
- 8:00Speaker 6: A 90-year-old woman is walking on the street, 9.30 in
- 8:04Speaker 6: the morning.
- 8:05Speaker 3: Brighton Beach, 5th. Busy thoroughfare.
- 8:09Speaker 6: And this emotionally disturbed black guy comes up to the
- 8:12Speaker 6: garbage can. He sees an old baby carriage that's there
- 8:15Speaker 6: with garbage in it.
- 8:16Speaker 3: Picks it up. He slams her in the back of
- 8:18Speaker 3: the head. She goes down. Luckily, she survives. She's at
- 8:21Speaker 3: Coney Island Hospital. He fled.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Yeah, what a coward that guy was. What a coward.
- 8:26Speaker 1: Because not only was it an elderly woman, he walked up,
- 8:29Speaker 1: he walked towards her, then went behind her, and then
- 8:32Speaker 1: hit her from behind.
- 8:34Speaker 3: What an absolute coward.
- 8:36Speaker 5: And you know, you were saying how these are really busy,
- 8:39Speaker 5: busy areas of the city. We're not talking a desolate
- 8:43Speaker 5: back alley. People ask me all the time, do you
- 8:46Speaker 5: feel safe when you're in the city? And I'm like, yeah,
- 8:48Speaker 5: I do, because I feel like I'm in a populated area.
- 8:51Speaker 5: What's going to happen to me in the middle of
- 8:52Speaker 5: Times Square? I know that sounds crazy, but I feel
- 8:55Speaker 5: like there's so many people around, like I'll be safe.
- 8:58Speaker 4: But obviously not.
- 9:01Speaker 1: No, remember a couple of years ago, who was the
- 9:03Speaker 1: guy that was just going around, the mentally ill guy
- 9:06Speaker 1: killing people? They didn't know who it was at first.
- 9:10Speaker 1: That was just a, A couple of years ago, I
- 9:12Speaker 1: got to look up the information on that because.
- 9:14Speaker 3: I'm sure people remember.
- 9:15Speaker 6: Let me give you some dreary stats. Increasingly, these emotionally
- 9:20Speaker 6: disturbed persons, and that's what they are. They're not on
- 9:23Speaker 6: medication or they're not in a psychiatric facility. The assaults
- 9:28Speaker 6: against those who are 65 plus, I think that includes
- 9:31Speaker 6: me and Larry, not you, Natalie. have skyrocketed since 2018, 143%.
- 9:37Speaker 11: Wow.
- 9:39Speaker 6: This never used to happen. An elderly person, by golly,
- 9:44Speaker 6: a whole community, if they saw an elderly person being assaulted,
- 9:48Speaker 6: everybody would come out of the stores, the streets. They'd
- 9:50Speaker 6: give that guy a beat down. There'd be nothing left
- 9:53Speaker 6: of him when the cops arrived. Now, this was busy
- 9:57Speaker 6: in the morning. This is 945 on Brighton Fifth Street,
- 10:01Speaker 6: main thoroughfare underneath the yell, the subway.
- 10:05Speaker 3: And nobody came out and intervened.
- 10:08Speaker 6: You know, they helped her afterwards when the EMTs came
- 10:12Speaker 6: and brought her to Coney Island Hospital.
- 10:13Speaker 3: But it's not like it used to be.
- 10:15Speaker 6: That neighborhood years ago, nearby Bensonhurst, Bay Ridge, No way.
- 10:20Speaker 6: You attacked an elderly person. You're dealing with 20, 25
- 10:23Speaker 6: people out there trying to kill you. That person would
- 10:27Speaker 6: look forward to the arrival of the police to save
- 10:29Speaker 6: them from the outraged citizenry who didn't care if you
- 10:32Speaker 6: were EDP or this was just a, quote, random attack.
- 10:36Speaker 3: They'd give you a beat down. Yeah, now everybody just
- 10:38Speaker 3: looks the other way.
- 10:39Speaker 1: By the way, that was in November of 2024, the
- 10:43Speaker 1: random murders. Do you remember that homeless guy? His name's
- 10:46Speaker 1: Ramon Rivera. 51-year-old homeless man, mental problems, was going around
- 10:52Speaker 1: and killing people, stabbing them to death all the way
- 10:56Speaker 1: through Manhattan.
- 10:58Speaker 3: And what gets done? It happens, it's over, and then nothing.
- 11:03Speaker 1: No solution until the next one happens.
- 11:06Speaker 3: And it's just a continuous cycle.
- 11:08Speaker 6: Although the one thing that's changed, and I haven't quite
- 11:10Speaker 6: yet figured it out, If you notice, almost all these
- 11:13Speaker 6: crimes are with knives, straight edge razors or box cutters.
- 11:18Speaker 6: Very few of them are with guns. And it's not
- 11:20Speaker 6: because they're doing stop and frisk. I can tell you
- 11:23Speaker 6: the cops are not doing stop and frisk. Got to
- 11:25Speaker 6: say to yourself, how come so few guns and plenty
- 11:28Speaker 6: of guns out there? And now they got these ghost guns,
- 11:31Speaker 6: which you can manufacture yourself with a computer and they
- 11:34Speaker 6: can't be traced.
- 11:35Speaker 3: Can't be traced.
- 11:36Speaker 1: Yeah, we should be talking more about this because this
- 11:39Speaker 1: is a huge problem over the next few weeks. But
- 11:41Speaker 1: right now, a woman that was once named the greatest
- 11:46Speaker 1: voice in America has died. Plus, you have a chance
- 11:50Speaker 1: to see Air Supply at 825. We have some sad news.
- 11:55Speaker 1: Gloria Steinem, the feminist crusader who galvanized the modern women's movement,
- 12:00Speaker 1: has died in New York City.
- 12:02Speaker 3: She was 92 years old. The death....
- 12:06Speaker 1: Was announced on social media didn't give a cause of
- 12:09Speaker 1: the death. It said that Ms. Steinem died peacefully at home,
- 12:13Speaker 1: surrounded by loved ones. You remember she used to call
- 12:17Speaker 1: herself an entrepreneur of social change. She helped usher in
- 12:23Speaker 1: sweeping cultural transformations. She was The face of the women's movement. Yeah,
- 12:28Speaker 1: the now crowd.
- 12:29Speaker 6: But tomorrow, when we talk a little bit more in length,
- 12:32Speaker 6: I'll explain how she made her bones as a CIA
- 12:35Speaker 6: agent undercover over in the European continent during the Cold War.
- 12:43Speaker 12: Wow.
- 12:43Speaker 6: You talk about a honeypot back then because she was
- 12:46Speaker 6: a good looker, a real good looker.
- 12:48Speaker 3: Yeah, but a man.
- 12:50Speaker 1: She was maybe, for a time there, if not the
- 12:53Speaker 1: most famous woman in the world, one of the most
- 12:56Speaker 1: famous people in the world. So, yeah, we'll talk more
- 12:58Speaker 1: about that tomorrow. But I wanted to pass it along
- 13:01Speaker 1: to you that Gloria Steinem died in New York City today.
- 13:05Speaker 1: She was 92 years old. Now, let's talk about another
- 13:09Speaker 1: person that died that isn't quite as famous, but should be.
- 13:13Speaker 1: Her name is Cassandra Wilson. She's won several Grammys. She
- 13:17Speaker 1: is a jazz singer, but also she sung country. She
- 13:21Speaker 1: sung rock. Everybody loved her. You know what she was?
- 13:24Speaker 1: She was the musician's musician. All of the rock stars
- 13:28Speaker 1: wanted to get Cassandra Wilson to sing whatever songs or
- 13:31Speaker 1: perform with her. Everybody wanted Cassandra Wilson's voice to be
- 13:36Speaker 1: part of their albums. As a matter of fact, it
- 13:38Speaker 1: says here she was part of 72 albums, not all
- 13:42Speaker 1: her own. Here, I'll give you a sample of her voice.
- 13:45Speaker 1: She died today, by the way, at the age of 70.
- 13:48Speaker 1: At one time, in 2001, Time magazine announced that she
- 13:52Speaker 1: had the best voice in America. Here she is singing
- 13:56Speaker 1: Harvest Moon by Neil Young. Live on with her songs.
- 14:00Speaker 1: Cassandra Wilson, dead at the age of 70. Now let's
- 14:04Speaker 1: get to some talkbacks. We saved one of the talkbacks
- 14:07Speaker 1: from yesterday because it's going to spur a bigger conversation.
- 14:11Speaker 1: And so here it is.
- 14:14Speaker 2: Okay, Larry, now you're debating whether or not she really
- 14:17Speaker 2: tried to commit suicide.
- 14:18Speaker 10: Are you serious, Larry?
- 14:20Speaker 13: Really?
- 14:20Speaker 4: Okay, let's try it this way.
- 14:23Speaker 2: Give me a motive for why she would want to
- 14:25Speaker 2: kill three children other than being psychotically crazy. Did she
- 14:31Speaker 2: get money out of a will? Was she having an
- 14:34Speaker 2: affair like Susan Smith that drowned her kids and wanted
- 14:38Speaker 2: to get out of it?
- 14:38Speaker 10: No.
- 14:39Speaker 2: There is no other motive other than crazy.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Well, let's talk back talking about Lindsay Clancy. And there
- 14:47Speaker 1: are a lot of women, by the way, that are
- 14:51Speaker 1: extremely emotional about the killing. And there's a lot of
- 14:54Speaker 1: women that I didn't know until recently have gone through
- 14:58Speaker 1: postpartum depression. And they have reached out to me and
- 15:03Speaker 1: talked about the fact that it is a deep darkness
- 15:06Speaker 1: sometimes that you have to fight. But you know what?
- 15:10Speaker 1: All of those women, they fought it. All of those
- 15:13Speaker 1: women survived it. None of those women killed their own children,
- 15:18Speaker 1: let alone three of them. None of those women plotted
- 15:23Speaker 1: those murders. It was very meticulous murder. about how it
- 15:28Speaker 1: was going to be done, where it was going to
- 15:29Speaker 1: be done, how to get the husband out of the house,
- 15:31Speaker 1: how to make sure he didn't come back.
- 15:34Speaker 3: So, crazy? Yeah, maybe.
- 15:36Speaker 1: I mean, you have to be crazy to kill your
- 15:39Speaker 1: three children. But I want to take the focus off
- 15:42Speaker 1: her for a second. What about the three children that
- 15:45Speaker 1: don't have a life to live right now? A five-year-old,
- 15:48Speaker 1: a three-year-old, or an eight-month-old choked to death by their
- 15:52Speaker 1: own mother? I'm sorry, that's the only three people I'm
- 15:56Speaker 1: thinking about. in all of this, and they deserve justice.
- 16:01Speaker 1: We're going to be talking more about it coming up.
- 16:04Speaker 6: Well, is it fair to jump to the conclusion that
- 16:06Speaker 6: you will not be wearing a pink shirt tomorrow when
- 16:09Speaker 6: they may actually call it a mistrial?
- 16:12Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they're going to be calling it a
- 16:14Speaker 1: mistrial today, to tell you the truth. But no, I
- 16:17Speaker 1: won't be wearing a pink shirt. I will just feel
- 16:20Speaker 1: woeful about the criminal justice system that let a mass
- 16:23Speaker 1: murderer free because a lot of women have been through
- 16:27Speaker 1: postpartum depression and had feelings for her. And I just
- 16:32Speaker 1: want to remind those women that you also should have
- 16:34Speaker 1: feelings for the three children. All right, now let's get
- 16:38Speaker 1: to Daria Albinger with the 630 News. Daria.
- 16:41Speaker 3: Morning, guys.
- 16:41Speaker 4: We're going to start out the way we have so
- 16:43Speaker 4: many days this summer with a weather alert. City storm
- 16:46Speaker 4: emergency plan is in effect for the third day.
- 16:49Speaker 1: If you're counting.
- 16:50Speaker 4: And a reminder that heavy rain today could cause some
- 16:52Speaker 4: localized flooding. But we get through today, it's going to
- 16:55Speaker 4: get a lot better. President Trump says a deal with
- 16:57Speaker 4: Venezuela will help bring down gas prices, but probably not
- 17:01Speaker 4: in time for Labor Day weekend travel. AAA spokeswoman Ayesha Diaz.
- 17:05Speaker 14: Gasoline prices are still high, and we just hit a
- 17:07Speaker 14: record in August as the highest August on record at
- 17:11Speaker 14: the pump, and it surpassed August 2022. The monthly average
- 17:15Speaker 14: then was $ 3. 97, and this past August, the monthly average
- 17:18Speaker 14: was was $ 4.
- 17:18Speaker 4: 07.
- 17:19Speaker 14: So will they start coming down? Again, it's going to
- 17:22Speaker 14: depend on winter blend gasoline hitting the market and gasoline
- 17:25Speaker 14: demand coming down.
- 17:26Speaker 4: The AAA paying the national average at $ 4. 14 a gallon.
- 17:30Speaker 4: We're paying a little more than that here.
- 17:32Speaker 10: $ 4.
- 17:32Speaker 4: 26 in New York on the average, $ 4. 27 in Connecticut,
- 17:35Speaker 4: and $ 4. 24 in New Jersey. The airports will also be
- 17:38Speaker 4: busy starting today with the FAA predicting this will be
- 17:40Speaker 4: the busiest Labor Day holiday weekend in 15 years of
- 17:44Speaker 4: Port Authority, expecting a little over 6 million travelers. at
- 17:47Speaker 4: New York City airports and vehicle crossings. A federal judge
- 17:51Speaker 4: is blocking President Trump's latest effort to restrict birthright citizenship,
- 17:55Speaker 4: his executive order prohibiting it to babies born in the U.S.
- 17:58Speaker 4: to non-citizens. A judge in Maryland yesterday ruling that no
- 18:02Speaker 4: presidential order can undo what the Supreme Court has already done.
- 18:06Speaker 4: The FDNY is rededicating a memorial plaque ahead of the
- 18:09Speaker 4: 25th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks.
- 18:12Speaker 15: Fire officials unveiled 36 new names of first responders who
- 18:15Speaker 15: passed away over the last year.
- 18:17Speaker 6: These are FDNY members who have succumbed to their illnesses
- 18:21Speaker 6: as part of the rescue and recovery at the World
- 18:24Speaker 6: Trade Center.
- 18:24Speaker 15: Fire Commissioner Lillian Bonsignor said the tragedy did not end
- 18:27Speaker 15: on that day as members continue to get sick. Mayor
- 18:30Speaker 15: Mamdani said it is important to recognize the sacrifice of
- 18:33Speaker 15: firefighters who spent weeks working in toxic conditions. I'm Lizzie Radabali,

- 18:53Speaker 3: All right. Thank you, Daria.
- 18:55Speaker 1: Well, Mikey Sherrill, who used to claim she was a moderate,
- 18:58Speaker 1: has turned out to be a far left whack job.
- 19:02Speaker 1: She now is asking for money in New Jersey, millions
- 19:06Speaker 1: of dollars for the defense fund of those who are
- 19:10Speaker 1: housed at Delaney Hall, people who shouldn't be in this country.
- 19:15Speaker 1: We're going to talk more about that when we come
- 19:17Speaker 1: right back. Our iHeartRadio Music Festival, presented by Capital One,
- 19:22Speaker 1: is back, featuring live performances by Benson Boone, the Goo

- 19:43Speaker 1: for you to win a trip for two, plus $ 1, 000

- 19:49Speaker 1: You have to text in, and win happens at 9 a.m.
- 19:54Speaker 1: 9 a.m. today on 710WOR. Sorry that didn't get a
- 19:59Speaker 1: lot of coverage locally, but should have. An illegal immigrant
- 20:03Speaker 1: from Guatemala has been charged with manslaughter and will be
- 20:07Speaker 1: deported after... crashing into a car with a mother and
- 20:12Speaker 1: two children, killing the nine-month-old. She did not have a
- 20:16Speaker 1: driver's license. She allegedly borrowed the car. So I'm pointing
- 20:21Speaker 1: that out because of something that Governor Mikey Sherrill is doing.
- 20:27Speaker 1: Governor Mikey Sherrill, who you remember when she ran for Congress,
- 20:30Speaker 1: she was a moderate. She had to because of the
- 20:33Speaker 1: district she was running in, but she was a moderate. Now,
- 20:36Speaker 1: all of a sudden, she's far left, almost socialist loony.
- 20:40Speaker 1: And she now wants the legal defense fund for those
- 20:46Speaker 1: who can't afford their own defense to have more money.
- 20:52Speaker 1: It was $ 8 million in that defense fund, but she
- 20:55Speaker 1: wants to add another $ 12 million.
- 20:57Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, it was just approved.
- 21:00Speaker 1: To put another $ 12 million on, more than doubling that
- 21:03Speaker 1: defense fund. Why does she want to more than double it?
- 21:06Speaker 1: For the people that are at Delaney Hall, the people
- 21:10Speaker 1: who are here illegally in this country but can't afford
- 21:13Speaker 1: their own defense. She wants taxpayer money when you're already...
- 21:19Speaker 1: Remember when she promised that the electricity bills were going
- 21:22Speaker 1: to go down, all the power bills?
- 21:24Speaker 3: We're going to go down. They've gone way up.
- 21:26Speaker 1: Remember she promised the property taxes were going to go down?
- 21:30Speaker 3: They've gone way up. But you know where your money's going?
- 21:34Speaker 1: It's going for a defense fund for people who are
- 21:37Speaker 1: here illegally, many of them who have been taken by
- 21:41Speaker 1: ICE and are now at Delaney Hall.
- 21:44Speaker 3: You know what?
- 21:45Speaker 1: There's a new hero that's coming up from the political
- 21:50Speaker 1: shrubs in New Jersey. Her name is Dawn Fantasia. And
- 21:54Speaker 1: I keep hearing her name over and over again. She's
- 21:57Speaker 1: a Republican conservative. She's from Sussex County and part of
- 22:00Speaker 1: Morris County. And she got up and was outraged on
- 22:05Speaker 1: the floor of the assembly.
- 22:06Speaker 16: We have people that are in that facility. We have
- 22:10Speaker 16: people in federal immigration detention facilities like that poor lady,
- 22:16Speaker 16: Deborah Collum from Tom's River, who gets set on fire
- 22:20Speaker 16: in the subway by a criminal illegal migrant released over
- 22:24Speaker 16: and over. We have the little eight-year-old girl in Teaneck
- 22:26Speaker 16: gets cracked in the head, metal plates and screws in
- 22:29Speaker 16: her head from a serial rock thrower who was left
- 22:32Speaker 16: out over and over and over. And he also has
- 22:34Speaker 16: a penchant for assaulting police, too.
- 22:36Speaker 5: So he's a great guy, but we let him out, right?
- 22:39Speaker 1: There's so many of those stories. She went on and
- 22:42Speaker 1: on and on. She had about seven of them. But
- 22:46Speaker 1: it does seem like the Democratic Party loves those who
- 22:51Speaker 1: are here illegally a lot more than they do citizens.
- 22:54Speaker 1: Because they want special rules for them. They seem to
- 22:58Speaker 1: love criminals, too. Let them out of jail all the time,
- 23:02Speaker 1: no cash bail. But Dawn Fantasia has a really good
- 23:05Speaker 1: idea about this fund. And she's introduced a bill. And watch,
- 23:08Speaker 1: the Democrats won't even put it up for a vote.
- 23:10Speaker 1: She's introduced a bill saying, how about we take some
- 23:13Speaker 1: of the money from that fund? If you're going to
- 23:15Speaker 1: have this fund, take some of the money and give
- 23:18Speaker 1: it to the victims of crimes from those who are
- 23:21Speaker 1: here illegally.
- 23:22Speaker 16: The money should actually go. to a victim fund for
- 23:27Speaker 16: families of the victims or victims who survive for those
- 23:31Speaker 16: who are victimized by people who are not in this
- 23:33Speaker 16: country legally.
- 23:35Speaker 1: I just don't understand it, Curtis. I didn't understand it
- 23:38Speaker 1: when President Biden was just allowing everybody into the country
- 23:42Speaker 1: that we had anywhere from 6 million up to 10
- 23:45Speaker 1: million coming over the border because there were so many getaways.
- 23:49Speaker 1: And now, Now it does seem like one of the
- 23:55Speaker 1: major credos of the Democratic Party is, OK, now that
- 23:58Speaker 1: they're here, they're allowed to do anything. Not only do
- 24:00Speaker 1: we have to pay for them, they're allowed to do
- 24:03Speaker 1: anything they want.
- 24:04Speaker 6: Well, Dawn, the elected official is so right. She mentioned
- 24:08Speaker 6: a woman was burnt alive on the F train in
- 24:11Speaker 6: New York City was from Tom's River. emotionally disturbed by
- 24:15Speaker 6: the time that part of her life came from an
- 24:17Speaker 6: illegal Guatemalan that we were housing at $ 400 a night in.
- 24:21Speaker 3: East New York.
- 24:23Speaker 6: They don't even mention her name in New York City.
- 24:25Speaker 6: You don't never even hear her name. So I want
- 24:28Speaker 6: to give props to Dawn for that. Also, you have
- 24:31Speaker 6: recall in the state of New Jersey. Very difficult to do.
- 24:34Speaker 6: The way the politicians do it is you got to
- 24:36Speaker 6: go out and get signatures to match a number that
- 24:39Speaker 6: voted in the last gubernatorial election. It's so excessive. But
- 24:43Speaker 6: that's why every state needs recall, because if there is
- 24:45Speaker 6: enough outrage... You can frighten a governor into potentially doing recall.
- 24:51Speaker 6: You can't do it in New Jersey. They tried to
- 24:54Speaker 6: do it against Corzine. I think it crashed and burned.
- 24:56Speaker 6: But hey, resurrect that, because right now they think they
- 25:01Speaker 6: can do this for impunity until they have to run
- 25:03Speaker 6: for reelection.
- 25:04Speaker 1: But explain to me how that is a winning issue.
- 25:09Speaker 1: Because it must not just be the politicians. They must
- 25:11Speaker 1: have polled this. They must know that there's a lot
- 25:14Speaker 1: of people that support these immigrants and believe these immigrants
- 25:17Speaker 1: should be given money, even the criminals, and they should
- 25:20Speaker 1: stay in the country.
- 25:21Speaker 3: Well, let me give you the latest.
- 25:22Speaker 6: Route 130, 80 miles south of New Brunswick, there was
- 25:28Speaker 6: a pursuit by ICE. They had an illegal alien. He
- 25:30Speaker 6: was in his car. He wouldn't stop after they had
- 25:33Speaker 6: busted his window open. They were going to pull him out.
- 25:36Speaker 6: And he gets into a high-speed chase. It's a four-lane
- 25:39Speaker 6: highway there, Route 130. I've been on it a few times.
- 25:42Speaker 6: Heavily trafficked, 7.30 in the morning. And he crashes into
- 25:46Speaker 6: the car of a dermatologist who happens to be married
- 25:51Speaker 6: to the mayor of East Brunswick, Brad Cohen. She's injured.
- 25:55Speaker 6: She's taken to the hospital. They eventually catch the illegal alien.
- 25:59Speaker 6: But the mayor of East Brunswick, Brad Cohen, says nothing
- 26:03Speaker 6: about His wife was almost killed by the illegal alien
- 26:07Speaker 6: who would not stop and got into a high-speed chase. Now,
- 26:12Speaker 6: it's probably one of two reasons. He wants his own
- 26:16Speaker 6: focus on this because he realizes, according to internal polls,
- 26:20Speaker 6: it would be great, you know, if he decried ICE
- 26:24Speaker 6: instead of the illegal crazy who nearly killed his wife.
- 26:28Speaker 6: Or some lawyers have contacted him, Larry.
- 26:31Speaker 3: This is probably what it is.
- 26:32Speaker 6: Don't say anything. What a lawsuit you have against the
- 26:35Speaker 6: federal government. Just tell your wife to say she's impotent,
- 26:39Speaker 6: she's incontinent, she has nightmares, she can't drive a car again.
- 26:43Speaker 6: And I don't know what you make as East Brunswick mayor,
- 26:46Speaker 6: probably not a lot. But Brad, you and your wife
- 26:49Speaker 6: are going to have quite a payday. Let's see how
- 26:54Speaker 6: this works out, Larry. Oh, excuse me right there.
- 26:59Speaker 3: Oh, guess what?
- 27:00Speaker 6: They were all paying tribute to Al Slim Shady Sharpton
- 27:03Speaker 6: kissing what used to be a big tuchus at the
- 27:06Speaker 6: Red Rooster where Natalie was upset she wasn't invited.
- 27:10Speaker 3: Oof-ah!
- 27:10Speaker 6: We'll certainly let you know about that coming up next.
- 27:13Speaker 6: I want to tell you a story.
- 27:14Speaker 1: A mother was driving back from a birthday party in Rialto,
- 27:18Speaker 1: California when her three-year-old son, Matthias, started to vomit. He
- 27:26Speaker 1: choked on the blockage of his vomit. He stopped breathing.
- 27:30Speaker 1: She did everything. She tried to clear his throat. She
- 27:33Speaker 1: patted him on the back. She even tried to give
- 27:35Speaker 1: him a three-year-old, the Heimlich. It doesn't work on a three-year-old.
- 27:39Speaker 1: So the mother pulled over and called 911. Rialto, California
- 27:45Speaker 1: police showed up. And they had a life back in
- 27:50Speaker 1: the squad car. They saved that little boy's life. it
- 27:55Speaker 1: immediately just sucked all the blockage out of his throat.
- 28:00Speaker 1: Nothing else worked. Seconds mattered. They got there right in
- 28:05Speaker 1: time and they saved a life. Every squad car in
- 28:09Speaker 1: the country should have a life back. Every restaurant in
- 28:14Speaker 1: the country should have a life back. Every cafeteria at
- 28:18Speaker 1: a school should have a life back. This is the
- 28:23Speaker 1: Only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device to be used for second-line
- 28:29Speaker 1: treatment like this great mother did. She tried to save
- 28:32Speaker 1: her son herself, but she needed LifeVac. Sometimes everything else
- 28:36Speaker 1: doesn't work. That's why LifeVac is so amazing. It saved
- 28:40Speaker 1: that life. It saved 6,000 lives worldwide. Over 6,000 lives.
- 28:46Speaker 1: Those are families we're talking about.
- 28:49Speaker 3: Real second chances. Just think.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Matthias is now going to live on, hopefully to old
- 28:56Speaker 1: age because of LifeVac. Preparedness matters. Having the right tool
- 29:01Speaker 1: nearby can make all the difference in the world. So
- 29:04Speaker 1: learn more about LifeVac today at LifeVac.net. That's LifeVac.net. Visit
- 29:09Speaker 1: LifeVac.net and see how you can be ready when it counts.
- 29:15Speaker 6: Wow remember the other morning i mentioned how was eric
- 29:18Speaker 6: adams swagger man with no plan 66 birthday and almost
- 29:22Speaker 6: nobody attended his um birthday party in new york city
- 29:27Speaker 6: he was seen actually wearing the same outfit in the
- 29:30Speaker 6: morning on his city bike the night after like you
- 29:34Speaker 6: know half in a bag, you know, having a bender. Boy,
- 29:39Speaker 6: has he hit bad times. But the reason that a
- 29:42Speaker 6: lot of people didn't go there is because they had
- 29:44Speaker 6: to pay tribute to Al some shady Sharpton, who was
- 29:47Speaker 6: holding court at the Red Rooster where Natalie desperately wants
- 29:51Speaker 6: to go, famous restaurant in Harlem. And he was being
- 29:54Speaker 6: honored for 15 years of having his program that, quite frankly,
- 29:59Speaker 6: if you look at it, it's pretty bad, pretty poorly done.
- 30:02Speaker 6: At MS now, they call it. And everybody had to
- 30:06Speaker 6: be there. So you saw, obviously, Zoran Mondami. Oh, he's
- 30:10Speaker 6: the mayor. He keeps every mayor in check. Bull feathers.
- 30:14Speaker 6: He used to get $ 10, 000 in cash from Bloomberg every
- 30:18Speaker 6: month when he was staying in the Carlisle Hotel just
- 30:21Speaker 6: to have no demonstrations, no justice, no peace. That's how
- 30:24Speaker 6: you keep him quiet. He doesn't give anybody's feet to
- 30:28Speaker 6: the fire.
- 30:28Speaker 3: But who came up?
- 30:31Speaker 6: Look, Kathy Hochul. who, again, is apt to say the
- 30:35Speaker 6: dumbest things imaginable. I don't know who her speechwriters are,
- 30:38Speaker 6: but maybe they should be looking for new employment. You
- 30:41Speaker 6: remember when she was saying, well, black kids, you know,
- 30:43Speaker 6: in the Bronx, they don't know about computers. What are
- 30:46Speaker 6: you talking about? Of course they know about computers. But
- 30:49Speaker 6: this one, maybe you can explain this, Larry, because you're
- 30:52Speaker 6: the big moviegoer along with Natalie, but I saw this movie.
- 30:56Speaker 6: She gets up to the microphone, packed crowd at the
- 30:59Speaker 6: Red Rooster, And she goes that Al Slim Shady Sharpton
- 31:04Speaker 6: is a living Forrest Gump.
- 31:08Speaker 3: He's been through.
- 31:09Speaker 6: Every major American story in our history over the last
- 31:14Speaker 6: 50 years. And I'm like saying, Forrest Gump? Forrest Gump
- 31:19Speaker 6: came out of Alabama. Now, originally Al Slim Shady Sharpton...
- 31:23Speaker 6: Came out of Alabama. I remember his half-brother, who was
- 31:26Speaker 6: a big supporter of mine, who was from Haiti.
- 31:29Speaker 3: Sharpton hated that. But other than that, what?
- 31:33Speaker 6: The Tawana Brawley case that he's never apologized for? That
- 31:37Speaker 6: created racial tension in the Mid-Hudson and spread all over
- 31:40Speaker 6: the country? The Crown Heights riot? We're facing the anniversary
- 31:43Speaker 6: of that now? And she's, oh, yeah, he's just like
- 31:46Speaker 6: Forrest Gump.
- 31:47Speaker 3: Now, correct me if I'm wrong about Forrest Gump. Remember?
- 31:50Speaker 17: Yeah.
- 31:51Speaker 6: Forrest Gump went through like three periods of history, if
- 31:55Speaker 6: I remember when he was in that show. He was
- 31:58Speaker 6: teaching Elvis how to dance. No way Al Slim Shady
- 32:02Speaker 6: Sharpton would have done that. He would have called Elvis
- 32:04Speaker 6: a racist. You're talking about the best of them. He
- 32:08Speaker 6: was mentally insufficient. That's why I think it's an insult.
- 32:12Speaker 3: A low IQ, right? Yes. Well, yes. Extremely low.
- 32:15Speaker 6: We know Sharpton. That's why I call him Sharpie. He
- 32:17Speaker 6: does not have a low IQ. Forrest Gump had a
- 32:20Speaker 6: kind heart. Oh, Al Slim Shady Sharpton does not have
- 32:23Speaker 6: a kind heart. And let's face it, Forrest Gump, when
- 32:26Speaker 6: I saw the movie, had a very optimistic view of life.
- 32:29Speaker 6: Tom Hanks, great role. You think Sharpton has an optimistic
- 32:34Speaker 6: view of life? He tells all black young people, oh,
- 32:37Speaker 6: it's all the deck is stacked against you. You know,
- 32:40Speaker 6: they're going to put you in a prison cell. They're
- 32:42Speaker 6: going to deprive you of a good education. Where the
- 32:44Speaker 6: hell did she come up with this one from?
- 32:46Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 32:46Speaker 1: I'm trying to think. Maybe they both believe that life
- 32:50Speaker 1: is a box of chocolate. Maybe that's what it is.
- 32:52Speaker 1: I can't understand. I would love to have been in
- 32:57Speaker 1: the room when she said that, just to see the
- 33:00Speaker 1: looks on people's faces. Because it comes off like an insult.
- 33:04Speaker 3: It is!
- 33:05Speaker 6: If I'm Al Slim Shady Sharpton, I'm saying to myself.
- 33:10Speaker 3: You called me what? Forrest Gump? He called him mentally challenged.
- 33:18Speaker 3: That's what you did to his face. Well, let's face it.
- 33:20Speaker 6: He got away with something in your business as a interviewer,
- 33:25Speaker 6: a person who's done a lot of interviews in your lifetime,
- 33:28Speaker 6: a very famous people, where he interviewed his choice for
- 33:31Speaker 6: vice president, the MSN Now choice, Giggles Harris. And he
- 33:38Speaker 6: charged her $ 250, 000 in cash up front, her campaign, and
- 33:42Speaker 6: $ 250, 000 once was in the can.
- 33:45Speaker 3: Any other journalist would have been fired.
- 33:48Speaker 6: I'm assuming that if that information came to the forefront,
- 33:52Speaker 6: you're gone. There is no way you're ever going to
- 33:54Speaker 6: be interviewing anybody.
- 33:56Speaker 3: Instead, they're paying tribute.
- 33:57Speaker 6: MS Now, the CEO was there. We love you, Slim
- 34:01Speaker 6: Shady Trump. His only regret, I would have written these
- 34:04Speaker 6: lines for him. That I was not like Charles Barkley
- 34:07Speaker 6: and Serena Williams to be able to promote Ozempic. I
- 34:10Speaker 6: would have been making millions instead of losing all this
- 34:14Speaker 6: weight the natural way, which somehow he has.
- 34:17Speaker 3: Remember, he did this all before Ozempic. He looks like
- 34:19Speaker 3: a bobblehead. He was taking something. You think so?
- 34:22Speaker 1: Oh, he was taking something. It had to be at
- 34:24Speaker 1: least diet pills, right? Don't you believe it?
- 34:27Speaker 5: Well, I know he went on a very strict, I think,
- 34:29Speaker 5: vegan diet, so I'm not sure. But I'm just so
- 34:33Speaker 5: depressed that you're telling me Red Rooster isn't worth going to.
- 34:36Speaker 3: Natalie, come on. That's what you took out of the story.
- 34:39Speaker 3: Don't believe the hype. I'm going on the personal level.
- 34:42Speaker 6: There's nothing that stops you from jumping on the train
- 34:44Speaker 6: after one of our episodes in the morning and heading
- 34:47Speaker 6: up there. I could take you there, but most of
- 34:49Speaker 6: these restaurants don't believe the hype.
- 34:52Speaker 18: All right.
- 34:52Speaker 6: And by the way, a lot of the food will
- 34:53Speaker 6: give you high blood pressure, you know, Southern cuisine, right?
- 34:57Speaker 3: I mean, come on, think about that.
- 34:58Speaker 4: One meal, Marcus Samuelson.
- 35:01Speaker 3: Okay, whatever.
- 35:02Speaker 6: No, no, you ain't getting in on the cuff like
- 35:04Speaker 6: Al Slim Shady Sharpton gets when he's in the window.
- 35:06Speaker 6: He's in the window there so everybody can see them
- 35:08Speaker 6: come and kiss his ring and his tuchus.
- 35:11Speaker 3: By the way, up next. Hey, you know what? Maybe
- 35:13Speaker 3: that tuchus got light bulb. Anyway, only you would know
- 35:19Speaker 3: for sure. Anyway, up next, it's John Decker.
- 35:22Speaker 6: A lot of movement in the White House about how
- 35:24Speaker 6: the president is going to get out on the stump
- 35:26Speaker 6: for 30 straight days and 30 straight nights. We'll see
- 35:30Speaker 6: what that's going to do for Republicans running for reelection
- 35:33Speaker 6: or election. But first, the news at seven.
- 35:35Speaker 1: Hey, Curtis, I don't know if you saw yesterday, but,
- 35:38Speaker 1: you know, they had an availability with Donald Trump and
- 35:41Speaker 1: there was all the reporters that were there.
- 35:44Speaker 3: And right there, smack in the middle of the room,
- 35:47Speaker 3: in just about every TV shot, was John Decker. You
- 35:52Speaker 3: can't tell me he doesn't position himself.
- 35:53Speaker 1: It's a great spot, by the way. I don't know
- 35:55Speaker 1: how he gets it, but he's right up front. Every
- 36:00Speaker 1: time the president answers, he almost has to look at
- 36:03Speaker 1: John Decker at one point because he's right there.
- 36:06Speaker 3: He's right up front. That was his laugh.
- 36:08Speaker 1: John Decker, WOR White House and Washington correspondent and host
- 36:12Speaker 1: of the podcast, The White House Briefing Room with John
- 36:14Speaker 1: Decker can be found on the iHeartRadio app. Congratulations, John.
- 36:18Speaker 1: That's I would imagine that's a tough spot to get.
- 36:23Speaker 10: Well, it is, absolutely. But, you know, I've been doing
- 36:26Speaker 10: this for quite some time, so I know where to go.
- 36:29Speaker 10: I know where my spot is in the Oval Office,
- 36:32Speaker 10: where to go to get the best spot available to
- 36:37Speaker 10: ask the president some questions. And as you point out,
- 36:39Speaker 10: right in front of the Resolute Desk, in the Oval Office,
- 36:42Speaker 10: and I think that if you counted, I probably got
- 36:45Speaker 10: five or six questions yesterday to the president, which was
- 36:47Speaker 10: pretty good.
- 36:48Speaker 3: Yeah, it is amazing.
- 36:49Speaker 1: I think the president right now is doing everything possible
- 36:52Speaker 1: to try to bring gas prices down with the Straits
- 36:55Speaker 1: of Hormuz, with the tens of billions of barrels of
- 36:59Speaker 1: oil coming out of Venezuela. But I think one of
- 37:02Speaker 1: the most important things, and this is what I want
- 37:05Speaker 1: to ask you about, is the meeting he had with
- 37:07Speaker 1: oil executives.
- 37:08Speaker 3: How did that go? Do we know what happened?
- 37:11Speaker 10: Well, we don't know everything that happened. That was a
- 37:15Speaker 10: meeting in which I was also scheduled to be in
- 37:18Speaker 10: the pool to go into the cabinet room. That's where
- 37:21Speaker 10: he was meeting with those oil and gas company executives.
- 37:25Speaker 3: But unfortunately, the.
- 37:26Speaker 10: White House decided to leave that meeting closed. They did
- 37:30Speaker 10: not open it up to the press. So as a result,
- 37:33Speaker 10: we have to rely on the readout coming from the
- 37:36Speaker 10: White House. and the limited information coming from those oil
- 37:40Speaker 10: and gas company executives who are meeting with the president
- 37:43Speaker 10: in terms of what was discussed at that meeting. As
- 37:46Speaker 10: you know, oil prices remain exceedingly high. I think over
- 37:52Speaker 10: $ 94 a barrel consistently this week. And when oil prices
- 37:58Speaker 10: are so high, when the wholesale price is so high,
- 38:01Speaker 10: there's a corresponding high price for gasoline, and that's what
- 38:04Speaker 10: we're seeing all across the country, in New York State,
- 38:06Speaker 10: all around the country. In some places, obviously, it's much
- 38:09Speaker 10: worse places like California, which also has on top of
- 38:12Speaker 10: those high gas prices, high taxes. So you're looking at
- 38:17Speaker 10: gas around $ 6 a gallon in California.
- 38:19Speaker 6: So now, John Decker, the Iranians, whoever is the shot callers,
- 38:26Speaker 6: their trump card is the Straits of Hormuz. Why does
- 38:29Speaker 6: the president, over this very serious matter in which he
- 38:34Speaker 6: does not have acceptance by the American public, he's down
- 38:37Speaker 6: in the polls on this issue, first last week say,
- 38:41Speaker 6: I'm going to declare it an American territory. And then
- 38:44Speaker 6: yesterday say, we're going to rename it Trump straight. Does
- 38:49Speaker 6: he not realize that that goes nowhere? Even with MAGA supporters,
- 38:53Speaker 6: they're shaking their heads like, yo, man, this is not
- 38:56Speaker 6: a joking matter. This is like, this is hurting us.
- 39:00Speaker 6: This is hurting the world. It's hurting Iran. What are
- 39:03Speaker 6: you joking around for?
- 39:05Speaker 10: Well, I can't get inside. The president said he was
- 39:08Speaker 10: indeed joking around. He was asked a question about that yesterday,
- 39:11Speaker 10: also in the Oval Office by a colleague of mine
- 39:14Speaker 10: from AFP. And he just pretty much said I was
- 39:16Speaker 10: just putting that.
- 39:17Speaker 3: Out there in jest. But you're right. This is a
- 39:21Speaker 3: serious matter.
- 39:21Speaker 10: It's a serious matter for families that are dealing with
- 39:26Speaker 10: this high price of gas. I remember a few weeks
- 39:28Speaker 10: ago when I was out in Alaska and talking to
- 39:31Speaker 10: motorists out there, they're dealing with really high gas prices
- 39:35Speaker 10: because although they have the largest amount of crude oil
- 39:37Speaker 10: in the country, they have to export it out to
- 39:40Speaker 10: be refined and then bring it back in on trucks
- 39:43Speaker 10: to get to the residents of Alaska. So it really
- 39:47Speaker 10: hits home for them. the fact is it hits their
- 39:51Speaker 10: budget really hard. So I don't know why the president
- 39:54Speaker 10: would put that out there. Of course, this comes a
- 39:56Speaker 10: few days after the president says and declared through an
- 39:59Speaker 10: executive order that he's changing the name of Lake Ontario
- 40:03Speaker 10: to Lake America. So maybe it's just simply, Curtis, a
- 40:06Speaker 10: follow-up on that.
- 40:07Speaker 1: Everything is going to change next week. Is starting guns
- 40:10Speaker 1: going to go off? That's when you're going to see
- 40:13Speaker 1: all of the ads for the midterm elections coming up.
- 40:15Speaker 1: And The president talked a lot about the midterms yesterday
- 40:20Speaker 1: and what he plans to do. Is he going to
- 40:23Speaker 1: spend any of his money on these midterms? Because he's
- 40:26Speaker 1: got a big war chest.
- 40:28Speaker 10: He's got a huge war chest through his super PAC
- 40:31Speaker 10: MAGA Inc., over $ 400 million. And there are those people
- 40:36Speaker 10: like Karl Rove who are saying, don't wait. We can't
- 40:40Speaker 10: afford to wait. Republicans need to spend that money. They
- 40:43Speaker 10: need to help out their candidates, and he's urging the
- 40:46Speaker 10: president to start spending right now, even before we hit
- 40:49Speaker 10: that magic Labor Day holiday. So the president realizes that
- 40:54Speaker 10: there's some pressure on him and is super packed to
- 40:57Speaker 10: spend that money. And the president yesterday, in response to
- 41:00Speaker 10: my question, confirmed that he's going to head all the
- 41:03Speaker 10: way out to Alaska to help out U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan.
- 41:08Speaker 10: who's running for his third term. This is a state
- 41:11Speaker 10: that President Trump won all three times he ran for president.
- 41:14Speaker 10: The last time in 2024, he won it by 13.5 points.
- 41:18Speaker 10: And yet, Dan Sullivan is having difficulty in terms of
- 41:22Speaker 10: gaining traction to win a third term in the U.S. Senate.
- 41:26Speaker 10: So that's the reason why the president says he's going
- 41:28Speaker 10: to head out to Alaska to campaign for Dan Sullivan,
- 41:32Speaker 10: to get his base energized, to vote for him on
- 41:37Speaker 10: November the 3rd.
- 41:38Speaker 6: Now, just imagine, John Decker, you're one of those 38
- 41:40Speaker 6: that are marginal.
- 41:42Speaker 3: You're on that line. You're a little ahead. You're a
- 41:45Speaker 3: little behind.
- 41:46Speaker 6: And the president said, I'm there for you those last
- 41:48Speaker 6: 30 days. It's going to be morning, noon, and night.
- 41:52Speaker 6: But you first got to come to our first ever
- 41:55Speaker 6: party convention in Dallas, which is September 9th and September 10th,
- 42:00Speaker 6: right before 9-11. Some of the Republicans are saying they
- 42:06Speaker 6: can't make it. They're too busy campaigning. Now, you know this, President.
- 42:10Speaker 6: If they don't pick up and come to this party convention,
- 42:13Speaker 6: which is going to be like a pep rally and
- 42:15Speaker 6: laying out the goals of this campaign, I have a
- 42:19Speaker 6: feeling the president ain't going to be there for them
- 42:21Speaker 6: in that final push.
- 42:25Speaker 3: Well, you're right.
- 42:25Speaker 10: You know, you really have to make a tough decision
- 42:27Speaker 10: if you're in a very close race. Do you head
- 42:30Speaker 10: down to Dallas? Or do you stay in your district
- 42:33Speaker 10: and campaign there and try to, you know, energize the
- 42:37Speaker 10: people there, the constituents there to come out and vote
- 42:40Speaker 10: for you or to vote early or to vote on
- 42:41Speaker 10: November the 3rd? So that's a tough decision they have
- 42:44Speaker 10: to make. I've already made that decision. I'm going to
- 42:46Speaker 10: be down in Dallas next week for that midterm convention,
- 42:50Speaker 10: the first of its kind. So I'll be speaking to
- 42:53Speaker 10: you next week from Dallas, Texas. And we'll see if
- 42:56Speaker 10: indeed the president is effective in essentially energizing is base,
- 43:02Speaker 10: energizing the troops, and getting them to vote for those
- 43:06Speaker 10: Republican candidates in November.
- 43:08Speaker 3: Oh, they're all going to be there.
- 43:09Speaker 1: There's over 400 million reasons why they should be there.
- 43:12Speaker 1: They're not going to see any of that money unless
- 43:14Speaker 1: they go down. So the one person that was left out,
- 43:18Speaker 1: actually a lot of people that were left out, when
- 43:20Speaker 1: he talked about the campaign and what he's going to
- 43:23Speaker 1: do and how he's going to barnstorm, remember he said
- 43:25Speaker 1: the last 30 days I'll be on the road every day?
- 43:28Speaker 18: Yes.
- 43:30Speaker 3: Except for the Republican governors. Good luck. You're on your own.
- 43:33Speaker 3: How does Vivek Ramaswamy feel in Ohio?
- 43:38Speaker 10: Yeah, I think he's in good shape, regardless of whether
- 43:41Speaker 10: the president campaigns for him. It is Ohio. That being said,
- 43:44Speaker 10: there's a Senate race in Ohio, and I would imagine
- 43:47Speaker 10: the president's going.
- 43:48Speaker 3: To travel to Ohio for that Senate race.
- 43:50Speaker 10: And I would not be surprised if Vivek Ramaswamy shows
- 43:53Speaker 10: up at that event with the president. So the Senate
- 43:57Speaker 10: race is one in which It really is a pickup
- 44:00Speaker 10: opportunity for Democrats. That's in Ohio. There are other pickup
- 44:04Speaker 10: opportunities for Democrats. I could go through the list really quickly.
- 44:08Speaker 10: It's North Carolina. It's Maine.
- 44:11Speaker 3: It's Iowa. It's Alaska. It's Texas.
- 44:14Speaker 10: So those are the pickup opportunities for Democrats this election cycle.
- 44:18Speaker 10: And as it relates to the Republicans, they have some
- 44:23Speaker 10: pickup opportunities there.
- 44:25Speaker 3: As well.
- 44:26Speaker 10: So we'll see what happens. It's going to be a
- 44:28Speaker 10: really interesting work. Look at the look at the date
- 44:30Speaker 10: on the calendar. It's September the 3rd. We're exactly two
- 44:34Speaker 10: months away from election day.
- 44:36Speaker 1: It's just real quick. I would check those polls in Ohio.
- 44:40Speaker 1: Take another look. Yeah, you would think that they were
- 44:43Speaker 1: Swami Ramaswami was way ahead. But Cook Report just called
- 44:47Speaker 1: it a toss up.
- 44:48Speaker 3: Did it really? Yes, it did.
- 44:49Speaker 10: Really interesting.
- 44:50Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 44:51Speaker 10: Thanks for letting me know that.
- 44:52Speaker 6: Sure.
- 44:52Speaker 10: I'm not following the governor's races like the president is.
- 44:54Speaker 10: I'm following the Senate races.
- 44:56Speaker 3: So there you go. You're on your own, pal.
- 44:59Speaker 6: I've got enough to do for Senate candidates and House candidates,
- 45:03Speaker 6: and you better be in Dallas if you expect to
- 45:05Speaker 6: see me. But we know the big meeting is at
- 45:08Speaker 6: the end of September at the White House. The return engagement.
- 45:12Speaker 6: The president, Donald Trump, went to see President Xi in Beijing.
- 45:16Speaker 19: Yeah.
- 45:17Speaker 6: And then he invited him to come to the White
- 45:19Speaker 6: House in the end of September. You know, a lot
- 45:22Speaker 6: of focus on what the red Chinese can do to
- 45:25Speaker 6: help end this Iranian war. They seem to be quite
- 45:28Speaker 6: belligerent and defiant. What do you think is the president's
- 45:33Speaker 6: goal in that meeting where he is the host?
- 45:38Speaker 10: Well, it's going to be really interesting. And it just
- 45:40Speaker 10: so happens September the 24th is when President Xi will
- 45:44Speaker 10: come to the White House.
- 45:45Speaker 1: I'm in the pool that day.
- 45:46Speaker 10: So hopefully there'll be an opportunity to ask both presidents
- 45:50Speaker 10: questions in the Oval Office. I've been looking forward to
- 45:52Speaker 10: that for quite some time. And for the president, a
- 45:55Speaker 10: lot is on the agenda. Trade with China is always
- 45:59Speaker 10: on the agenda. That is such an important issue. And
- 46:02Speaker 10: then you hit upon those foreign policy challenges for the president.
- 46:06Speaker 10: And the number one foreign policy challenge right now for
- 46:09Speaker 10: the U.S. and for President Trump is the Iran conflict.
- 46:13Speaker 10: And the president would very much like to see China
- 46:17Speaker 10: essentially stop purchasing that Iranian oil. It props up their economy.
- 46:22Speaker 10: And I don't think you're going to get any buy-in
- 46:23Speaker 10: from the Chinese, given the statements that have been put
- 46:26Speaker 10: out by their foreign ministry just in the course of
- 46:29Speaker 10: the past two weeks.
- 46:30Speaker 1: John Decker, WOR White House and Washington correspondent and host
- 46:33Speaker 1: of the podcast, The White House Briefing Room with John Decker.
- 46:36Speaker 1: That can be found on the iHeartRadio app.
- 46:38Speaker 3: Thanks a lot, John. Talk to you next week.
- 46:41Speaker 20: Thanks, Larry.
- 46:42Speaker 10: Thanks, Curtis.
- 46:42Speaker 3: Talk to you then.
- 46:43Speaker 19: Bye-bye.
- 46:43Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you one Republican candidate who's already spending
- 46:47Speaker 1: some money in New Jersey because he's in a tough race.
- 46:51Speaker 1: Tom Cain Jr., and he brought in the big guns.
- 46:54Speaker 1: We'll let you hear for yourself coming up next. Plus,
- 46:58Speaker 1: tickets to see Air Supply at 825. And we want
- 47:01Speaker 1: to thank you for helping teachers bring more opportunities, creativity,
- 47:06Speaker 1: and learning into their classrooms every day. You responded when
- 47:10Speaker 1: we asked... to iHeartRadio's Thank a Teacher, powered by Donor's Choice.
- 47:15Speaker 1: It made a real difference for teachers and students. You
- 47:18Speaker 1: can learn more at iHeartRadio.com slash teachers. We were just
- 47:24Speaker 1: talking about the midterms, and one of the races everybody's
- 47:27Speaker 1: going to be looking at, not only in this area,
- 47:30Speaker 1: but all across the country, is the 7th District in
- 47:33Speaker 1: New Jersey. It's really a purple district. It's always a toss-up.
- 47:38Speaker 1: But Tom Kane Jr. currently holds the seat, and he's
- 47:41Speaker 1: been in there for a few terms now. He's facing
- 47:44Speaker 1: the fight of his life, not only because of the
- 47:47Speaker 1: political climate in the country, but because he's up against
- 47:50Speaker 1: a pretty good candidate. Rebecca Bennett is a healthcare executive,
- 47:54Speaker 1: 15 years in the military, Navy helicopter pilot. She was
- 47:59Speaker 1: a commander for a while, and she's a mom with
- 48:02Speaker 1: two kids. So she checks every single box, and The
- 48:07Speaker 1: Cook Report right now, which is what I look at
- 48:10Speaker 1: for these races, calls it a toss-up at this point.
- 48:13Speaker 1: So he's bringing out the big guns. Maybe the most
- 48:17Speaker 1: popular politician ever in New Jersey. His dad, Tom Kane Sr.
- 48:25Speaker 21: You watch your children grow and wonder, who will they become?
- 48:29Speaker 21: I couldn't be prouder of my son, Tom. He cares
- 48:32Speaker 21: about people. That's why he worked to protect Medicare and
- 48:36Speaker 21: Medicaid for every New Jersey senior, child, and disabled person.
- 48:40Speaker 21: He's never going to stop fighting, advocating, and serving those
- 48:44Speaker 21: in need. That's what drives him, makes him a leader
- 48:47Speaker 21: we can all be proud of. I'm Tom Kane.
- 48:50Speaker 3: And I'm Tom Kane, Jr., and I approve this message.
- 48:54Speaker 1: I will say I've interviewed and met Tom Kane, Sr.
- 48:57Speaker 1: several times back when he was in his prime. And
- 49:02Speaker 1: I've also interviewed Tom Kane, Jr. Tom Kane Jr.
- 49:05Speaker 3: Is no Tom Kane Sr. That is for sure.
- 49:10Speaker 6: Just like Andrew Evil Eye's Cuomo's no Mario Cuomo.
- 49:14Speaker 3: That's for sure. But it's smart. It's a great ad.
- 49:18Speaker 3: They're sitting on a porch.
- 49:19Speaker 1: He's retired he's like in a rocking chair on the
- 49:22Speaker 1: porch looking glowingly at his son his son comes through
- 49:26Speaker 1: the door and sits down next to him he gets
- 49:28Speaker 1: a big smile on his face the fact that We
- 49:31Speaker 1: all now remember who this Tom Kane is.
- 49:34Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. He's the son of the governor, the guy
- 49:37Speaker 3: I really liked. You know what? It's going to have
- 49:39Speaker 3: some power.
- 49:40Speaker 6: Well, maybe if they had Brooke Shields join them. New
- 49:43Speaker 6: Jersey and you together forever.
- 49:46Speaker 3: Perfect together. Perfect together. I don't know.
- 49:49Speaker 6: Remember, the electorate has changed. It's a generational change. This
- 49:54Speaker 6: is a strong Democratic candidate, just like Mike Lawler, who
- 49:58Speaker 6: will be in Dallas for those two days because he
- 50:01Speaker 6: wants Trump to come to Rockland, Westchester. He's facing a
- 50:05Speaker 6: similar candidate, again, military veteran woman, just like your governor
- 50:10Speaker 6: in New Jersey. There's a cookie cutter approach now that
- 50:15Speaker 6: the Democratic DNC in states and nationally, can we find
- 50:19Speaker 6: a woman who has served in the military, maybe as
- 50:22Speaker 6: a mother, maybe with kids who has a background to
- 50:25Speaker 6: win a seat that maybe before was not winnable.
- 50:29Speaker 1: It's going to be a tough, tough race. It's going
- 50:31Speaker 1: to be, that's going to be so close. Our talk
- 50:34Speaker 1: backs are patiently waiting.
- 50:36Speaker 19: I've mentioned this before, but I still believe that the
- 50:39Speaker 19: oil companies have abandoned Trump and are doing everything they
- 50:43Speaker 19: can to keep those gas prices artificially high to make
- 50:48Speaker 19: him lose in his party lose in the midterm elections
- 50:52Speaker 19: because they, he did what they wanted, what they wanted
- 50:56Speaker 19: him to do as far as getting rid of the regulations.
- 50:58Speaker 3: Now they don't need him anymore.
- 51:00Speaker 19: They don't want the prices to go down and they
- 51:03Speaker 19: don't want to lose profit.
- 51:05Speaker 1: I don't, I think you're way off on that. I
- 51:07Speaker 1: think the oil companies love Donald Trump. They hated Biden.
- 51:11Speaker 1: Remember Biden would do anything to talk against the oil companies,
- 51:15Speaker 1: anything because he was for the green new deal and
- 51:18Speaker 1: all of that. Trump is drill, baby, drill. No, no, no,
- 51:23Speaker 1: I got a feeling you're wrong on that one.
- 51:24Speaker 3: We'll see. We'll see if the prices come down in
- 51:26Speaker 3: the next couple of months.
- 51:28Speaker 22: More emphasis on protecting the public from these crazy people,
- 51:33Speaker 22: no matter what reason they killed the people. Protecting the
- 51:37Speaker 22: public from them and not to let them go free
- 51:40Speaker 22: because they were insane or whatever. That's the thing that
- 51:44Speaker 22: gets me.
- 51:45Speaker 6: Oh, remember the new category, random attacks. It mostly affects
- 51:51Speaker 6: emotionally disturbed persons who are wigging out, who attack people
- 51:56Speaker 6: they don't even know. You know, could be random, could
- 51:58Speaker 6: be the same person on the same corner, and they
- 52:01Speaker 6: won't do it nine times out of ten, but on
- 52:03Speaker 6: that tenth day they do it. And again, because there's
- 52:07Speaker 6: no cash bail here, courtesy of Andrew Evil Eyes Cuomo,
- 52:10Speaker 6: as much as he does not want to acknowledge that, Oftentimes,
- 52:14Speaker 6: they get a 72-hour observation at a local municipal hospital
- 52:19Speaker 6: and cut loose to do it again and again. No care,
- 52:22Speaker 6: no help, no medication, just an endless treadmill of this.
- 52:26Speaker 13: In reference to the story about Pamela Cisneros, why don't
- 52:31Speaker 13: cops use a burner gun to stop these perpetrators instead
- 52:36Speaker 13: of shooting them with real guns?
- 52:38Speaker 3: A burner gun should be.
- 52:40Speaker 13: knock them down and keep them alive and give them
- 52:44Speaker 13: time to apprehend them instead of killing them.
- 52:47Speaker 3: I don't know. That's just the thought.
- 52:50Speaker 6: Actually, uh, head of security here for I heart Chris,
- 52:53Speaker 6: former NYPD cop. When I was leaving the building yesterday
- 52:57Speaker 6: said to me, you know, what would have helped in
- 53:00Speaker 6: all these cases is what we all had as patrolmen,
- 53:03Speaker 6: a nightstick. They took that away from us. The police
- 53:07Speaker 6: officers no longer have that wooden nightstick. They have, uh,
- 53:11Speaker 6: basically a metal baton that they have to open up
- 53:15Speaker 6: that doesn't work. And yet the auxiliary police, right, look
- 53:19Speaker 6: like NYPD. They, they carry a nightstick. Chris is absolutely right.
- 53:25Speaker 6: That would have helped at least prevent the attack once
- 53:29Speaker 6: you've surrounded it. No one can outdo a nightstick. Yeah,
- 53:33Speaker 6: and when they see it, they know what's going to
- 53:35Speaker 6: happen next. I think you're absolutely right. Now, Daria Albinger
- 53:38Speaker 6: with the 730 News.
- 53:39Speaker 8: Daria.
- 53:39Speaker 4: Morning, guys. We start out the way we have so
- 53:42Speaker 4: many days of summer. And it's going to be the
- 53:44Speaker 4: summer of the storms, isn't it? And we have a
- 53:46Speaker 4: weather alert. The city's storm emergency plan is in effect
- 53:49Speaker 4: for a third day. Just a reminder, some heavy rain
- 53:51Speaker 4: today could cause localized flooding. Gloria Steinem has died. She
- 53:55Speaker 4: was a key figure in the second wave of the
- 53:57Speaker 4: women's rights movement. She was born here in New York City.
- 54:00Speaker 4: and remained active well into her 80s. Steinem was 92.
- 54:03Speaker 4: The big Labor Day getaway begins today for some, and
- 54:06Speaker 4: if you're going to be driving, plan to pay more
- 54:08Speaker 4: than you did to hit the road last year.
- 54:10Speaker 23: But will Americans be taken advantage of by the economy?
- 54:13Speaker 14: Gasoline prices are still high, and we just hit a
- 54:15Speaker 14: record in August.
- 54:16Speaker 23: Aixa Diaz is with AAA, which puts the national average
- 54:19Speaker 23: for a gallon of gas at $ 4. 14 a gallon, almost
- 54:22Speaker 23: a dollar higher than a year ago. Relief on the horizon?
- 54:25Speaker 14: Gasoline demand typically starts coming down in early fall, and
- 54:28Speaker 14: that's why you typically see gas prices coming down this
- 54:30Speaker 14: time of year as well.
- 54:32Speaker 23: California is posting the highest pump price, $ 5. 78. That's $ 2. 34
- 54:36Speaker 23: above the lowest. Indiana, Jim Ryan, ABC News.
- 54:39Speaker 4: We're paying about $ 4. 26 a gallon here in New York, $ 4.
- 54:42Speaker 12: 27 in Connecticut.
- 54:45Speaker 4: And 425 in New Jersey. Mayor Mamdani is addressing concerns
- 54:49Speaker 4: over the messaging app that his administration uses to communicate
- 54:52Speaker 4: with influencers.
- 54:53Speaker 24: The encrypted messaging app called Signal is used to share
- 54:56Speaker 24: daily talking points with more than 200 creators, but the
- 55:00Speaker 24: concern is whether messages that disappear are being correctly preserved
- 55:04Speaker 24: under city record. Mayor Mamdani.
- 55:06Speaker 11: And my administration will always strive to fully comply with
- 55:09Speaker 11: all legal requirements, including those that relate to the preservation
- 55:13Speaker 11: of city records. And if there are any departures from
- 55:16Speaker 11: what is legally required, my administration will look into it
- 55:19Speaker 11: immediately and take corrective action.
- 55:20Speaker 24: Meanwhile, former independent mayoral candidate Jim Walden is calling for
- 55:24Speaker 24: a Department of Investigation probe into the use of the
- 55:27Speaker 24: Signal platform.
- 55:31Speaker 4: The Trump administration is threatening to end its support of
- 55:34Speaker 4: the Smithsonian. Its governing board says it received a letter
- 55:36Speaker 4: from the White House stating that federal agencies cannot in
- 55:40Speaker 4: good conscience continue to support the Smithsonian. It says that
- 55:44Speaker 4: the Smithsonian may have violated anti-discrimination laws through its diversity practices.
- 55:49Speaker 4: Mets and Yankees both win. Next news, 8 o'clock, bulletins
- 55:52Speaker 4: at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
- 55:55Speaker 6: Well, you saw Tiger Woods in court yesterday. Judge determined,
- 55:58Speaker 6: all right, five years, no driving privilege. And then he
- 56:01Speaker 6: turned to the prosecutor and said, what about when he's
- 56:04Speaker 6: playing golf and he's driving a golf cart? And the
- 56:07Speaker 6: prosecutor went, we hadn't factored that in. Oh, wait till
- 56:11Speaker 6: you hear that. And plus, Tony Romo, who has been
- 56:15Speaker 6: kicked out of NFL broadcasting booths saying, oh, no, you
- 56:19Speaker 6: have it all wrong.
- 56:20Speaker 3: I-D-U-I, you got it all wrong. Odoo.com traffic center. Odoo.com,
- 56:27Speaker 3: the only business software you will need.
- 56:30Speaker 15: Good morning, here's your WOR traffic alternate sign.
- 56:33Speaker 6: So the attention of the world was on that courtroom
- 56:36Speaker 6: in Florida, where Tiger Woods, after getting out of his
- 56:40Speaker 6: rehab stint, was in court to hear from the judge
- 56:45Speaker 6: in terms of what would the penalties be for being
- 56:49Speaker 6: caught impaired while recently driving. They claim that it wasn't alcohol.
- 56:53Speaker 6: He passed the breathalyzer, but he was clearly on some pills.
- 56:57Speaker 6: They found two pills on him at the time. Vanessa Trump,
- 57:01Speaker 6: who is his girlfriend, I guess you can call her
- 57:05Speaker 6: at this point, was at his side.
- 57:09Speaker 3: Everybody was watching.
- 57:10Speaker 6: And what was it that was said about him and
- 57:13Speaker 6: his driving privilege, Larry?
- 57:15Speaker 1: Well, he's been suspended for five years. I want to
- 57:17Speaker 1: point out he did pass the breathalyzer, but he refused
- 57:20Speaker 1: to take a urine test and a blood test, which
- 57:23Speaker 1: they wanted to do.
- 57:24Speaker 3: And that's why they arrested him.
- 57:26Speaker 1: And when he got arrested, if you remember— He was
- 57:30Speaker 1: way out of it.
- 57:31Speaker 25: I'm thinking Ambien.
- 57:32Speaker 12: We remember that original one.
- 57:33Speaker 3: He had a fight with his wife at the time
- 57:35Speaker 3: in the gated community, and then he crashed into the
- 57:37Speaker 3: Johnny Pump, knocked it over.
- 57:38Speaker 8: They found out he was.
- 57:39Speaker 3: Impaired on Ambien.
- 57:55Speaker 6: Seems to have that look, you know, when you've had
- 57:57Speaker 6: too much Ambien and you're still sleepwalking.
- 58:00Speaker 1: I don't know, man. He was out of it. He
- 58:03Speaker 1: was really out of it. I played that, and it
- 58:05Speaker 1: was hard to hear because it's all being recorded on
- 58:07Speaker 1: a body cam. But she said, turn around, face the car,
- 58:13Speaker 1: put your hands behind your back, and then she puts
- 58:16Speaker 1: the cuffs on him and says, we're going to take
- 58:20Speaker 1: you downtown. And he said, am I being arrested? How
- 58:24Speaker 1: out of it do you have to be not to
- 58:27Speaker 1: realize you're being arrested after you've been cuffed? I mean,
- 58:30Speaker 1: he was really out of it that day. And if
- 58:33Speaker 1: you remember, he clipped a car. He clipped a truck
- 58:35Speaker 1: that was being towed, and the truck flipped over, and
- 58:38Speaker 1: his car flipped over. And so it was a mess,
- 58:43Speaker 1: and he tried to leave the scene for a while,
- 58:46Speaker 1: and he was just way, way out of it. But
- 58:49Speaker 1: you mentioned the Florida State Attorney, Thomas Bacadal, who had
- 58:55Speaker 1: a suggestion. If Tiger Woods, during this five-month suspension— Five years.
- 59:01Speaker 3: Five years.
- 59:02Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 59:03Speaker 3: Five months would have been nothing. Exactly. Get out of
- 59:06Speaker 3: the way.
- 59:07Speaker 6: Tiger Woods is behind the wheel.
- 59:09Speaker 3: Five years. shut down high five five years suspension he
- 59:15Speaker 3: said you really shouldn't try to drive.
- 59:21Speaker 8: His license is suspended for a period of five years
- 59:24Speaker 8: and as you heard the judge indicates him you shouldn't
- 59:27Speaker 8: drive And if anybody in the world, if I can
- 59:30Speaker 8: send any message to Mr. Woods, it's simply this. Of
- 59:34Speaker 8: all the people in the world who should not get
- 59:37Speaker 8: behind the wheel of the car, it's the gentleman who
- 59:41Speaker 8: is one of the most recognizable faces on the planet.
- 59:44Speaker 6: So that was the moment in the spotlight for the prosecutor,
- 59:47Speaker 6: except the judge then turned to the prosecutor and said,
- 59:50Speaker 6: does this also apply to when Mr. Woods is playing
- 59:54Speaker 6: golf and he's driving a golf cart? And the prosecutor
- 59:58Speaker 6: was like, we hadn't factored that in. So all of
- 1:00:02Speaker 6: a sudden he was stymied by that. Yeah, how many times? Now,
- 1:00:07Speaker 6: I haven't played golf much in my life, but the
- 1:00:09Speaker 6: times I've been out there on the links, there's always
- 1:00:12Speaker 6: some guy who's half in the bag driving a golf
- 1:00:15Speaker 6: cart because he's looking for the beer wagon coming around
- 1:00:20Speaker 6: that's going to sell you booze on nine holes or
- 1:00:23Speaker 6: 18 holes, and he's either in a ditch, he's in
- 1:00:25Speaker 6: a sand trap, and not his ball, the golf cart,
- 1:00:28Speaker 6: because they're impaired. I think they came to the conclusion
- 1:00:31Speaker 6: that that he could drive a golf cart?
- 1:00:33Speaker 3: Of course he could. It's a stupid question. They never
- 1:00:36Speaker 3: should have asked it. The judge didn't know what he
- 1:00:38Speaker 3: was talking about. The state attorney doesn't know. Oh, I
- 1:00:39Speaker 3: would have asked that. He doesn't have a license for
- 1:00:41Speaker 3: a golf cart. You can't suspend driving a golf cart.
- 1:00:46Speaker 3: You can't. You just can't do it.
- 1:00:48Speaker 6: Larry, I hate to tell you, there are people who've
- 1:00:50Speaker 6: driven golf carts that don't have a license.
- 1:00:52Speaker 3: As long as you tip them. You can drive it.
- 1:00:54Speaker 3: What I'm saying is you don't need a license. You
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: don't need anything. You can drive a golf cart. You
- 1:00:59Speaker 3: could drive a golf cart. No, no, I understand that.
- 1:01:02Speaker 3: I would ban it.
- 1:01:03Speaker 6: I would make sure that he's not. He's not going
- 1:01:06Speaker 6: to a public links. There's only certain places that he
- 1:01:09Speaker 6: would go to play. He could have his chauffeur, which
- 1:01:12Speaker 6: he refuses.
- 1:01:13Speaker 3: To have, by the way. He and others who are famous.
- 1:01:17Speaker 3: You can't say to somebody, guess what we're doing?
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: We're also imposing a moratorium on you driving golf carts.
- 1:01:24Speaker 3: No, you can't. The only reason you could suspend driving
- 1:01:28Speaker 3: is because there's a driver's license.
- 1:01:29Speaker 6: In Florida, I've seen elderly people driving golf carts on
- 1:01:34Speaker 6: the road.
- 1:01:35Speaker 3: Okay. Yes.
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: Then you can get fined. Once you get off the
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: golf cart, you are now a vehicle on the road.
- 1:01:42Speaker 3: But there's no license for that.
- 1:01:43Speaker 5: That is a thing, though, because some golf carts are
- 1:01:47Speaker 5: modified to be what they call low-speed vehicles, because I
- 1:01:50Speaker 5: see that down the shore. And they actually have a
- 1:01:52Speaker 5: license plate, and you can't drive it on the street.
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: They've become extremely controversial down the shore.
- 1:01:57Speaker 3: I agree.
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: They're plentiful now, and people are getting furious at them
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: all over the streets.
- 1:02:03Speaker 3: As they should.
- 1:02:04Speaker 6: But meantime— The bigger issue here, Tony Romo, different set
- 1:02:08Speaker 6: of circumstances, wealthy people is why aren't you being driven
- 1:02:13Speaker 6: by somebody? And it turns out that what my very
- 1:02:16Speaker 6: dear friend Johnny Legit said to me a long time
- 1:02:19Speaker 6: ago is they don't want a chauffeur.
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: They don't want a driver.
- 1:02:23Speaker 6: They don't want to even Uber because they don't want
- 1:02:26Speaker 6: people listening to the conversations, private conversations they're probably having
- 1:02:30Speaker 6: in the backseat on their cell phone. God only knows
- 1:02:33Speaker 6: what they're discussing. So they choose, instead of spending the money,
- 1:02:37Speaker 6: which they have in all these cases.
- 1:02:39Speaker 3: Who was the guy in.
- 1:02:40Speaker 6: Long Island you were talking about him yesterday? Remember who
- 1:02:43Speaker 6: was cold busted? He couldn't even walk the line. Justin Timberlake, remember?
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. No chauffeur, no Uber driver. But there's
- 1:02:51Speaker 3: a reason they don't want him.
- 1:02:53Speaker 6: Because they don't want anyone listening to their personal business
- 1:02:57Speaker 6: that they're discussing on the cell phone.
- 1:02:58Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: But let's get back to Tony Romo for a second,
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: because he was just a disgusting liar that day.
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: I mean, at.
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: Least Tiger Woods took his punishment like a man and
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: then made a plea.
- 1:03:13Speaker 3: Tony Romo... He asked if you had any alcohol. He
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: said no.
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: He had a big open bottle of alcohol right next
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: to him in the car.
- 1:03:22Speaker 3: What did he think? They weren't going to look in
- 1:03:23Speaker 3: the car to see that? He lied about everything, about
- 1:03:27Speaker 3: where he was going, about what he was doing, about
- 1:03:29Speaker 3: where he was. Everything.
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: And you know what? That ended up with not just
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: a suspended license. His job got suspended.
- 1:03:36Speaker 6: Well, the interesting thing was how he claimed he was
- 1:03:39Speaker 6: in Milwaukee to go visit his grandparents.
- 1:03:42Speaker 3: I'm saying out of all the stories he could have told.
- 1:03:45Speaker 6: But then I'm thinking back to when Pat Summerall was
- 1:03:48Speaker 6: the lead broadcaster with his partner at that time who
- 1:03:52Speaker 6: would never fly.
- 1:03:54Speaker 3: I'm forgetting his name right now. Madden.
- 1:03:57Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: My God, that guy had been an alcoholic.
- 1:04:00Speaker 6: Now, the reason I mentioned his name is that Susie Wise,
- 1:04:03Speaker 6: who is the chief of staff in the Trump administration, that.
- 1:04:06Speaker 3: Was her daddy. I'm wondering how he survived.
- 1:04:10Speaker 6: I know he said he was on the wagon for
- 1:04:12Speaker 6: a while, but sometimes I'd look at Pat Summerall when
- 1:04:14Speaker 6: he was with Madden, and it seemed like his eyes
- 1:04:18Speaker 6: were rolling in his head.
- 1:04:20Speaker 3: I mean, it was a great broadcast, don't get me wrong,
- 1:04:22Speaker 3: but some people said he reeked of alcohol. I just
- 1:04:26Speaker 3: searched most famous people be arrested for DWI, and the
- 1:04:30Speaker 3: top two are Justin Timberlake and Tiger Woods, but then
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: Britney Spears, Mel Gibson, Khloe Kardashian, and I didn't know
- 1:04:39Speaker 3: about this one, Michael Phelps? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Remember Phelps?
- 1:04:44Speaker 3: He went through that whole period. Oh, my God.
- 1:04:47Speaker 6: What was that? He was drinking. He would go to
- 1:04:51Speaker 6: frat parties, right? He was already out of college.
- 1:04:53Speaker 3: He'd be drinking. I forget what those college kids do.
- 1:04:56Speaker 3: A funnel?
- 1:04:56Speaker 16: Yeah, with a funnel.
- 1:04:57Speaker 3: What the hell are you doing, Mike? I guess he
- 1:05:01Speaker 3: wasn't swimming anymore.
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: I guess he wasn't in training at that moment.
- 1:05:06Speaker 26: When we come back, we haven't talked about Zoran Mamdani
- 1:05:12Speaker 26: basically banning any teaching of AI in grade school.
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: How do New Yorkers feel about that? Well, you know
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: what's going to happen. Natalie Migliore has her beat on
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: the street coming up next.
- 1:05:25Speaker 26: Now, it's 710WOR' s Beat on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: Well, Zoran Mamdani made an announcement yesterday about AI in
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: grade schools, basically saying they weren't going to use AI
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: in grade school for the most part because the teachers
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: union wanted that. So how do New Yorkers feel about it? Well,
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: that's Natalie Migliore's job. She has her beat on the
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: street today on that very topic.
- 1:05:51Speaker 3: Good morning, Natalie.
- 1:05:53Speaker 20: Good morning, Larry. Good morning, Curtis. You know, this has
- 1:05:56Speaker 20: been a hot-button issue for years now as AI sort
- 1:06:00Speaker 20: of arises, and people use it more and more. But
- 1:06:05Speaker 20: New York City Public Schools says that's not happening for
- 1:06:09Speaker 20: some of its youngest learners, at least for now. The
- 1:06:13Speaker 20: mayor and schools chancellor made the announcement shoulder-to-shoulder yesterday saying,
- 1:06:18Speaker 20: saying kids between kindergarten and eighth grade will not have
- 1:06:22Speaker 20: access to AI software in the classroom, while high schoolers
- 1:06:28Speaker 20: will be introduced to the technology, but it's not going
- 1:06:31Speaker 20: to be fully integrated, so they won't have full use
- 1:06:34Speaker 20: of it all the time. People of all ages weighing in.
- 1:06:40Speaker 27: Honestly, a smart idea because I think that during our
- 1:06:43Speaker 27: most formative years, using AI is probably when it's most damaging.
- 1:06:47Speaker 27: I think that having that early education where you're not
- 1:06:49Speaker 27: using it and then being able to learn how to
- 1:06:51Speaker 27: use it as a tool later on is probably most beneficial.
- 1:06:54Speaker 28: The thing is if you ban something, it's going to
- 1:06:55Speaker 28: make somebody want it even more. So, I mean, think
- 1:06:58Speaker 28: about Europe. They drink at the age of 18, we
- 1:07:00Speaker 28: drink at the age of 21, we have a higher
- 1:07:01Speaker 28: drunk driving rate. I think AI is a tool. So
- 1:07:04Speaker 28: I wish I had AI when I had to write
- 1:07:05Speaker 28: an essay with you in my outline, but do I think?
- 1:07:07Speaker 28: I don't think it's a good idea.
- 1:07:08Speaker 12: Children need to learn the right way. They need to
- 1:07:11Speaker 12: find out what's going on with their own brain and
- 1:07:14Speaker 12: not artificial intelligence.
- 1:07:16Speaker 3: Because they're going to be vegetables. They don't even know
- 1:07:18Speaker 3: how to tell time anymore.
- 1:07:22Speaker 20: Well, I've certainly witnessed kids not being able to tell
- 1:07:25Speaker 20: time anymore. So she's not necessarily, you know, we sort
- 1:07:31Speaker 20: of see the day to day of what technology is
- 1:07:33Speaker 20: doing to the younger generations. I was just talking to
- 1:07:35Speaker 20: somebody last night about that. Now, the mayor laid out
- 1:07:38Speaker 20: parameters that comes with this one year ban. He says
- 1:07:42Speaker 20: teachers will be teachers now will be able to use
- 1:07:46Speaker 20: AI software for lesson planning, but not for green grading
- 1:07:50Speaker 20: or managing crises. So high schoolers will have access to
- 1:07:55Speaker 20: five vetted AI software, but they won't be able to
- 1:07:59Speaker 20: use it without teacher supervision. They'll also have to take
- 1:08:03Speaker 20: modules on safely and properly using AI and how to
- 1:08:08Speaker 20: spot AI generated content.
- 1:08:11Speaker 12: High school, they already have their brains set. But, you know,
- 1:08:15Speaker 12: little kids, no way.
- 1:08:16Speaker 3: Absolutely no. They need to learn what's real and what's not.
- 1:08:19Speaker 28: I don't know how you grew up, but in my school,
- 1:08:21Speaker 28: we had typing class in third grade. They taught us
- 1:08:24Speaker 28: to embrace technological advancements. I think they should have a
- 1:08:26Speaker 28: course on kid-friendly AI, or AI that's specifically for kids
- 1:08:31Speaker 28: in school. And there can be parameters on it, but
- 1:08:33Speaker 28: that's my belief. Make it accessible in a way that
- 1:08:36Speaker 28: they can learn how to use it in a way
- 1:08:37Speaker 28: that makes sense for them.
- 1:08:40Speaker 20: And I grew up exactly like her. I took computer
- 1:08:43Speaker 20: classes and typing classes and we learned how to use
- 1:08:47Speaker 20: the paint function. If anybody remembers what used to be
- 1:08:50Speaker 20: very crude and rickety and still is in this like
- 1:08:54Speaker 20: new school way of paint. But that's how they sort
- 1:08:57Speaker 20: of got us introduced to the computer. And so AI,
- 1:09:01Speaker 20: she's saying, is sort of becoming this new function that
- 1:09:05Speaker 20: people need to learn how to use. The city's saying
- 1:09:09Speaker 20: they're not quite going to just rule it out. They
- 1:09:11Speaker 20: want high schoolers with this limited access to learn how
- 1:09:15Speaker 20: to use AI in order to somewhat prepare them for
- 1:09:18Speaker 20: when they go to college. So the city doesn't seem
- 1:09:21Speaker 20: to necessarily have such blinders on it when it comes
- 1:09:26Speaker 20: to what AI can do, but officials say they want
- 1:09:30Speaker 20: to be cautious of the potential harms. Now, some New
- 1:09:32Speaker 20: Yorkers just don't like AI in general.
- 1:09:38Speaker 17: I don't like AI, and I agree with the ban.
- 1:09:40Speaker 17: You know, the effects on the environment, not really my favorites.
- 1:09:44Speaker 17: And the people in charge of it are not my
- 1:09:46Speaker 17: favorite either. I feel like you could go a lot
- 1:09:48Speaker 17: of ways with it. I mean, I think that it's
- 1:09:50Speaker 17: a really beneficial tool. I found it pretty helpful in
- 1:09:52Speaker 17: the workplace.
- 1:09:53Speaker 27: I think that it's useful for summaries, for making things
- 1:09:56Speaker 27: a lot faster. But at the same time, when you
- 1:09:59Speaker 27: start using it too early on in education, it cuts
- 1:10:01Speaker 27: a lot of corners and probably is not the most
- 1:10:04Speaker 27: beneficial to your brain development.
- 1:10:05Speaker 10: But I don't know.
- 1:10:06Speaker 27: I mean, I could talk about it for a while.
- 1:10:08Speaker 12: They're getting lazier and lazier. And that way they can
- 1:10:12Speaker 12: just take over their brains.
- 1:10:16Speaker 6: I'm going to recuse myself here, Larry, until I speak
- 1:10:20Speaker 6: with my youngest son. Because he knows all the tricks.
- 1:10:24Speaker 6: You know, like they don't have their cell phone in school.
- 1:10:27Speaker 6: They do have their cell phone. So I'm going to
- 1:10:29Speaker 6: ask him first. And some teachers that I know, because
- 1:10:32Speaker 6: I've got to believe there's going to be a lot.
- 1:10:33Speaker 3: Of cheating on them.
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: I hope there is, because if not, these kids in
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: New York schools are going to be backwards. They're not
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: going to be able to advance like the people across
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: the country.
- 1:10:43Speaker 27: Right.
- 1:10:43Speaker 20: Well, I know teachers already who are using it in
- 1:10:46Speaker 20: terms of just making lesson planning and stuff. And I'm
- 1:10:50Speaker 20: not a teacher. You guys know this is what I do.
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: All right, Natalie, we got to get going. You'll be
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: back tomorrow morning at 7.50. We're going to check in
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: on the Lindsay Clancy trial, which is.
- 1:11:01Speaker 6: So, Larry, now that we... talk about the Clancy case again.
- 1:11:06Speaker 6: One quickie, though, before you get into the major details
- 1:11:10Speaker 6: of the jury being convened again today, is there was
- 1:11:14Speaker 6: a woman, apparently she's part of that crowd of the
- 1:11:17Speaker 6: many who are outside, mostly women, some men, you know,
- 1:11:20Speaker 6: wear pink every day. And when the jurors were being discharged,
- 1:11:25Speaker 6: she filmed them all. And she was caught and brought
- 1:11:29Speaker 6: right before the judge and charged. jury interference or something
- 1:11:33Speaker 6: along that line, and she pleaded not guilty. Now, I
- 1:11:36Speaker 6: would think right there, boy, that's pretty damn intimidating to
- 1:11:40Speaker 6: the jurors there, that they're being filmed. It's like, well,
- 1:11:43Speaker 6: what are you going to do with that film? Which
- 1:11:44Speaker 6: almost leads to the conclusion that you had early on
- 1:11:47Speaker 6: that this jury should have been sequestered.
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, they absolutely should have been sequestered. But this
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: woman just seems like a nut. Her name's Dawn Light.
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: She's 56 years old. She was arraigned immediately. Um, she's
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: being charged with aggravated intimidation of a juror witness or
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: person furnishing information, extremely serious charge.
- 1:12:10Speaker 3: That's a felony. And it's a felony.
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: You can get up to 10 years in prison. They
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: asked for $ 50, 000 bail on her. So listen, she lied
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: to them. They said, are you taking pictures? She said, no,
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: they took her cell phone. She had pictures in her
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: cell phone. It was in her deleted file. But they
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: had all these pictures in her cell phone. She had
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: been doing it now for a couple of days. This
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: wasn't the first time she was doing it. It's just
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: somebody called their attention to it. You know, I got
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: a feeling they're going to work out a deal with
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: her and she's going to get some type of probation
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: because I don't think she meant any harm. I don't
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: think she wanted to intimidate anybody.
- 1:12:48Speaker 6: We'll find out. They're going to find out more about her.
- 1:12:51Speaker 6: She fancies herself as a civilian Nancy Grace.
- 1:12:54Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 1:12:54Speaker 6: You know, I'm a self-appointed crime reporter, but Boy, I mean,
- 1:12:58Speaker 6: if you're a juror and you see that going on,
- 1:13:00Speaker 6: that you're being filmed, especially at this very sensitive time,
- 1:13:05Speaker 6: it could be very intimidating.
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder how they found out about her. I
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: wonder if it was a juror. But then I think
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: we would have known that because a note would have
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: been sent to the judge and it would have to
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: be read out loud. So somebody else, maybe somebody in
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: the press told her. The interesting thing was she got
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: her due because when she left after her arraignment, There
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: must have been 50 cameras in her face. Yeah. And
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: she was trying to avoid them and she was trying
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: to go somewhere else. So now she kind of knows
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: how it feels. But getting back to the meat of
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: what happened on that day, there's no more questions, which,
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: by the way, should give you a sign that I
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: don't think this jury is going anywhere with this. I
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: think they've already resigned themselves to the fact that this
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: is going to be a hung jury. And the only
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: reason they're going back there and talking at all is
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: because the judge keeps forcing them. It's going to be
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: fascinating to find out who is dug in and who isn't.
- 1:14:02Speaker 3: But Curtis, I.
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: Really believe that today is the day that we're going
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: to find out that they cannot make a decision. And remember,
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: under Massachusetts law, they can't send them back again. So
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: this would be it. And then they'd have to figure
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: out whether they're going to go through with another trial,
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: whether they're going to have a plea deal, whether they're
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: going to let her go. I mean, the prosecution, all
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: of the weight after this is going to be on
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: the prosecution.
- 1:14:30Speaker 6: Well, if you're the defense attorney who's become this iconic
- 1:14:33Speaker 6: symbol now, you know, a grandfather type, oh.
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: We love you.
- 1:14:37Speaker 3: We love you.
- 1:14:37Speaker 6: Nobody even knew this guy before. Personally, you probably would say,
- 1:14:42Speaker 6: I don't care about money. I want to go back
- 1:14:45Speaker 6: on trial with this. because of the attention and recognition.
- 1:14:48Speaker 6: There's probably a book deal. There are other things that
- 1:14:51Speaker 6: will be coming his way. If you're the prosecutor, I
- 1:14:54Speaker 6: think you say, look, this is a lot of money.
- 1:14:57Speaker 6: It's going to be even more retrial. We'll have to
- 1:14:59Speaker 6: sequester a jury. So much more about security. Let's just
- 1:15:03Speaker 6: try to get a plea and get rid of this,
- 1:15:05Speaker 6: get it off the docket.
- 1:15:07Speaker 3: But then if you are.
- 1:15:10Speaker 6: The person who is being prosecuted, who obviously can think
- 1:15:13Speaker 6: for herself, she's not impaired.
- 1:15:16Speaker 3: What do you want to do?
- 1:15:18Speaker 6: Because she could always dismiss the defense attorney and then
- 1:15:22Speaker 6: just take somebody else to represent her. So, I mean,
- 1:15:26Speaker 6: this is very interesting how this decision ultimately will be made.
- 1:15:30Speaker 6: But I think the whole world agrees with you that
- 1:15:32Speaker 6: this is a deadlock jury. A mistrial will have to
- 1:15:35Speaker 6: be called and then they'll have to determine if they're
- 1:15:37Speaker 6: going to go forward with this. But certainly I think
- 1:15:40Speaker 6: the fear would be what? You're going to drop charges
- 1:15:43Speaker 6: and what? Turn a loose charge? I think that's not
- 1:15:48Speaker 6: going to happen. No matter what, look, if they can't
- 1:15:52Speaker 6: work out a deal, they're going to recharge her. But
- 1:15:54Speaker 6: I do think they're going to try to work out
- 1:15:56Speaker 6: a plea deal. And I think that if she were
- 1:15:58Speaker 6: to accept, you know, trust me, just take all of
- 1:16:00Speaker 6: this with a grain of salt. I'm just telling you
- 1:16:02Speaker 6: what I believe. But I think that they're going to
- 1:16:05Speaker 6: try to put her away for a long time. And
- 1:16:08Speaker 6: that's going to be the plea deal. They're not in jail.
- 1:16:10Speaker 1: They're going to put her under psychiatric evaluation and then treatment.
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: and make sure that she is locked away. I think
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: that's what the prosecution is going to at least settle for.
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: That may not be where they start, but at least
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: what they're going to settle on.
- 1:16:25Speaker 6: And interesting as to whether they're getting any advice on this,
- 1:16:28Speaker 6: because we're talking, this is Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts, right? Where
- 1:16:33Speaker 6: I was disappointed when I went there, look at Plymouth
- 1:16:35Speaker 6: Rock in the center, and it's a little pebble. I'm
- 1:16:37Speaker 6: thinking it's the Rock of Gibraltar there. You know, that's
- 1:16:40Speaker 6: what it's best known for. This is where the Pilgrims landed.
- 1:16:44Speaker 6: They're not ready to handle a case like this. I mean,
- 1:16:47Speaker 6: they put on a good case. They had a lot
- 1:16:49Speaker 6: of witnesses. They had a lot of exhibits. But I
- 1:16:53Speaker 6: don't know if they're going to have the wherewithal to
- 1:16:55Speaker 6: be able to do it again.
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: Maybe, maybe not. I will tell you this. I thought
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: the prosecution did an excellent job. They did a really
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: good job. Keith Reddington, the defense attorney, was blasted because
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: they thought his closing was awful. Truthfully, I don't think
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: the attorneys really played into this at all. I think
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: the women outside and the women that have been writing
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: to me and the women I've heard on other stations,
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: on talk radio, you know, I drive down, I listen
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: to my wife on talk radio. A lot of women
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: called her. What we're not understanding is the depth of
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: postpartum depression. And I don't think that's an excuse for her.
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: I think everybody knows where I stand on this. I
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: think she should be put away for life because I
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: side with the three children. But there is a feeling
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: in this country that finally, finally people are paying attention
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: to us, that they now know what I suffered through.
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: They now know the darkness of what can happen after
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: you give birth and this depression takes over your body.
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: And so maybe that's a good thing that that's come
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: out now. It's horrible that if she gets to go
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: free or if she doesn't get some time in jail,
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: to me, that's an aberration of justice. But I do
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: understand what people are saying to me, and I get it.
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: And I think that they feel through her, and I
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: don't think it's rational, but through her, they feel some
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: kind of vindication.
- 1:18:27Speaker 6: Well, also because, remember, she was a nurse herself. She's
- 1:18:31Speaker 6: obviously not without intellect because sometimes if a person is
- 1:18:39Speaker 6: not able to explain themselves, it makes it very difficult.
- 1:18:41Speaker 6: But she is certainly at that level, and she has
- 1:18:46Speaker 6: yet to be heard from in full.
- 1:18:48Speaker 13: Right.
- 1:18:49Speaker 6: So you can imagine if she's whipping up a story
- 1:18:53Speaker 6: or whatever but.
- 1:18:54Speaker 3: It really does set the gender divide it does it does.
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: And and listen I've been tutored by a lot of
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: women on this now I've been tutored on how depressed
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: they can get and I think that's even though I
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: believe that's irrational to put yourself on her shoes because
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: everybody that I'm talking to and everybody that shared their
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: stories with me, they didn't kill three children. And I
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: think that's the dividing line and that's what we always
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: have to remember, but it gets forgotten because there's a
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: lot of women out there that are saying, Now people
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: kind of understand. Now understand what I was going through.
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: I went through something like that. And how do I
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: argue with them? How do you say to them, well, no, no,
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: what you went through was nothing like that?
- 1:19:40Speaker 6: Well, you've now been in the eye of the storm
- 1:19:42Speaker 6: three times. You took on initially the Swifty people, you know,
- 1:19:47Speaker 6: the Taylor Swifties. And boy, you caught tremendous blowback. AI
- 1:19:52Speaker 6: data filing centers, you caught blowback. And now, obviously, in
- 1:19:56Speaker 6: this case, which is internationally being reported, the Clancy case,
- 1:20:01Speaker 6: which has been the more difficult storm for you to
- 1:20:03Speaker 6: navigate through? Because I remember the Swifties, man. That was
- 1:20:06Speaker 6: like chat bots coming at you.
- 1:20:09Speaker 3: That's right.
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: On Instagram, what was that up to? And they were
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: all negative, too.
- 1:20:14Speaker 3: Oh, like a million? Yeah. No joke. Right. But that
- 1:20:19Speaker 3: was all at once.
- 1:20:20Speaker 6: The AI data filing centers initially came all at once
- 1:20:23Speaker 6: at you.
- 1:20:24Speaker 3: This seems to be systemic.
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: Yeah, I discount some of the AI stuff because I
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: think that they were just either people that were working
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: for AI or some type of program that was going
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: after everybody that's against the AI data centers. This is
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: the most complicated one because where you can still feel
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: compassion for the women who think that she is a
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: symbol for them You can feel compassion for that. I
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: can't feel compassion for Lindsay Clancy. I can't feel any
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: compassion for her at all. And the reason is the
- 1:20:59Speaker 1: line for me is three children being dead that seem
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: to be forgotten in this entire debate. And that's why
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: I want to keep talking about them, the victims, because
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: they're making this woman a victim. And I just want
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: to remind all of them, she's not you. You didn't
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: kill your kids. She did. And you should make sure
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: that you understand that and draw the line yourself. When
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: we come back, who knew that otters were so dangerous?
- 1:21:31Speaker 3: Wait, wait.
- 1:21:31Speaker 6: They just appeared in the Bronx River for the first
- 1:21:34Speaker 6: time in like a century.
- 1:21:36Speaker 3: They were on a pedestal. What are you talking about?
- 1:21:37Speaker 3: They're cute. Not always.
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: We'll tell you about a dangerous otter when we come back. Plus,
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: you've got a chance to see Air Supply coming up next.
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: And our iHeart Music Festival, presented by Capital One, is back.

- 1:22:26Speaker 6: Well, looking at this most recent story of the first
- 1:22:29Speaker 6: otter appearance in the Bronx River in over a century,
- 1:22:32Speaker 6: which means fresh water, they're frolicking, they seem to be happy.
- 1:22:37Speaker 6: Everyone was euphoric, so I would say, yeah. Why do
- 1:22:41Speaker 6: you ask that?
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: Because a woman at Lake Tahoe that was swimming in
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: what they called a secret beach, I'm not sure what
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: that is.
- 1:22:51Speaker 3: Was swimming and she saw an otter. And of course
- 1:22:54Speaker 3: you think to yourself, wow, cute otter. How about that?
- 1:22:57Speaker 3: This otter wasn't cute.
- 1:22:59Speaker 4: I've been swimming in Lake Tahoe for like 25 years.
- 1:23:03Speaker 10: This has never happened, Mike.
- 1:23:06Speaker 13: Yes.
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: And she ended up, listen to this, the otter attacked
- 1:23:09Speaker 1: her face, went onto her foot, tried to pull her under,
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: and she ended up with, well, let her say it.
- 1:23:17Speaker 25: I got 38 stitches. I have 22 on one foot.
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: She ended up with the 38 stitches in her foot.
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: facial scratches, bite marks on her face, bite marks on
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: her body. And this is Lynette Bellin, who is a
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: certified swim self-rescue instructor from Reno, Nevada. Thank God it
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: was her because, you know, she's already has these instructions
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: on how to survive when she's in the water. Cause
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: had this been somebody else, I don't think this otter
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: was going to stop.
- 1:23:49Speaker 3: Go ahead.
- 1:23:49Speaker 25: Oh, I turned around and there was this otter and
- 1:23:54Speaker 25: it just came at me, teeth and claws and biting
- 1:23:58Speaker 25: and scratching. And I immediately was just trying to get
- 1:24:01Speaker 25: away from it.
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: Now they want the otter and they can't find the otter.
- 1:24:05Speaker 8: Oh, no.
- 1:24:05Speaker 10: Oh, no.
- 1:24:06Speaker 6: Now this is going to get my wife, Nancy, upset.
- 1:24:09Speaker 6: So they're going to go out there and just start
- 1:24:11Speaker 6: shooting otters randomly until they think they got the suspect responsible.
- 1:24:15Speaker 3: There won't be a lineup. of otters at the local
- 1:24:18Speaker 3: police precinct in Lake Tahoe.
- 1:24:19Speaker 6: Remember, Lake Tahoe is where they kidnapped Frank Sinatra's son, remember?
- 1:24:23Speaker 3: Yeah, Lake Tahoe. I don't know. I don't know, Larry.
- 1:24:27Speaker 6: You're going to get a lot of animal rights people
- 1:24:29Speaker 6: upset unless you really tag and bag the.
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: Right otter for this. I'm not going to get them upset.
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: The people out there are going to get them upset.
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: But I would think that they'd try to catch some
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: of the otters to test, because obviously they're looking to
- 1:24:41Speaker 1: see if this otter has rabies. And wouldn't you be
- 1:24:44Speaker 1: able to tell an otter has rabies?
- 1:24:45Speaker 6: Well, the only problem is the only rabies test is
- 1:24:48Speaker 6: you got to chop their head off. And then if
- 1:24:51Speaker 6: they don't have rabies, how do you put them back
- 1:24:53Speaker 6: together again?
- 1:24:54Speaker 3: Oh, there you go. You flying out there now?
- 1:24:56Speaker 6: No, but I know my wife Nancy will. And a
- 1:24:58Speaker 6: lot of animal rights activists. I mean, it's not like
- 1:25:00Speaker 6: they want to protect the otter that did it.
- 1:25:03Speaker 3: But I have a feeling.
- 1:25:05Speaker 6: Let's face it, Lake Tahoe, that area between Reno, a
- 1:25:07Speaker 6: lot of gun owners may actually go otter hunting.
- 1:25:11Speaker 3: That's really good.
- 1:25:13Speaker 1: Some otter fur is going to be up on people's houses.
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: And Nancy can go door to door. Now let's get
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: some talkbacks. The first one is about the Lindsay Clancy trial.
- 1:25:23Speaker 18: You know, I can guarantee that the person or persons
- 1:25:28Speaker 18: holding up the Clancy trial, that person does not have
- 1:25:32Speaker 18: children of their own.
- 1:25:35Speaker 3: Amen to that.
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: I think you're absolutely right. And if it's a woman,
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: and you know the difference between being a single woman
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: and being a mother, or being any childless woman and
- 1:25:47Speaker 1: being a woman with children, your perspective changes a thousand percent.
- 1:25:52Speaker 7: I just heard and read on the news that a
- 1:25:55Speaker 7: woman in Virginia was charged with three counts for letting
- 1:25:59Speaker 7: her five-year-old child go for a walk in a gated community. Now,
- 1:26:04Speaker 7: where are these women activists now? Instead of walking around
- 1:26:09Speaker 7: and supporting a woman that strangled the life out of
- 1:26:13Speaker 7: three of her children, where are the women that are
- 1:26:16Speaker 7: supporting the woman that just let a five-year-old kid go
- 1:26:19Speaker 7: for a walk?
- 1:26:20Speaker 3: Unbelievable.
- 1:26:22Speaker 6: So that's called nowadays the free-range children, you know, to
- 1:26:25Speaker 6: do what we used to do, just walk around on
- 1:26:27Speaker 6: our own. Now you've got the helicopter parents, so you're right.
- 1:26:31Speaker 6: There are going to be a lot of parents who
- 1:26:32Speaker 6: are going to want to incarcerate that mother.
- 1:26:34Speaker 3: How could you let a five-year-old go out there and
- 1:26:37Speaker 3: walk around on their own?
- 1:26:38Speaker 1: So she's wrong, but the one that killed three children,
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: she should be let go. I'm not saying you're saying that.
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: I'm saying that there's people saying that.
- 1:26:48Speaker 29: Great topic regarding this unfortunate situation, a lady killing her
- 1:26:52Speaker 29: three children. I have a mom, a wife, a daughter,
- 1:26:56Speaker 29: and I don't agree.
- 1:26:57Speaker 19: With what she did.
- 1:26:58Speaker 29: My question is, what happens when there's a man that
- 1:27:01Speaker 29: kills his wife or partner for being emotionally abused? Does
- 1:27:05Speaker 29: it get looked at in the same way? I think
- 1:27:07Speaker 29: in the world we're not treating people the same, and
- 1:27:09Speaker 29: that's why we're being divided.
- 1:27:10Speaker 1: That's a great point. Look, I think murder is murder,
- 1:27:13Speaker 1: and I think that there's a punishment for that. Maybe
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: there's mitigating circumstances and you get less of a sentence,
- 1:27:19Speaker 1: but there's got to be something done.
- 1:27:21Speaker 3: Now let's get the news at 8.30 with Daria.
- 1:27:24Speaker 28: Morning, Curtis.
- 1:27:24Speaker 4: Partly cloudy and warmer today with a high of 84 degrees.
- 1:27:27Speaker 4: President Trump is warning oil executives to bring down gas
- 1:27:30Speaker 4: prices as Americans continue to pay more at the pump,
- 1:27:34Speaker 4: especially as we head into a busy driving weekend like
- 1:27:37Speaker 4: the long Labor Day holiday. He says he's warned retailers
- 1:27:40Speaker 4: about price gouging in a meeting earlier this week. Well,
- 1:27:42Speaker 4: with no signs of the war with Iran ending, there
- 1:27:45Speaker 4: are new concerns about how well prepared U.S. troops are
- 1:27:49Speaker 4: for the mission.
- 1:27:49Speaker 30: Military leaders have reportedly been warning Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
- 1:27:53Speaker 30: that a prolonged war with Iran is unsustainable and pushing
- 1:27:56Speaker 30: back against his purge of top officials. And now some
- 1:28:00Speaker 30: Republican senators are voicing serious concerns about his leadership. Tom Tillis,
- 1:28:04Speaker 30: who cast the tie-breaking vote to confirm Hegseth, now says
- 1:28:07Speaker 30: Trump should fire him for his, quote, inept management.
- 1:28:11Speaker 4: ABC's Mary Bruce in Washington. Almost a half a million
- 1:28:14Speaker 4: dollars has been raised in a GoFundMe campaign for a
- 1:28:17Speaker 4: Bank of America vice president who was stabbed to death
- 1:28:20Speaker 4: last week in Times Square.
- 1:28:22Speaker 9: It was Erin Piacenti's first day back to work from
- 1:28:25Speaker 9: maternity leave when she was approached by a woman who
- 1:28:27Speaker 9: police say randomly stabbed her while walking in Times Square Monday.
- 1:28:30Speaker 9: Police shot and killed the suspect who was apparently emotionally
- 1:28:33Speaker 9: disturbed and stabbed another person as well. The 32-year-old Chester,
- 1:28:37Speaker 9: New Jersey native leaves behind a husband and five daughter.
- 1:28:41Speaker 9: Donation money from the GoFundMe will go towards supporting her daughter.
- 1:28:45Speaker 9: I'm Scott Pringle, WOR News.
- 1:28:46Speaker 4: A key figure in the women's rights movement has died.
- 1:28:49Speaker 4: Gloria Steinem co-founded organizations like the Women's Action Alliance as
- 1:28:53Speaker 4: well as Ms.
- 1:28:54Speaker 3: Magazine.
- 1:28:54Speaker 4: The longtime New Yorker was 92. And a magazine which
- 1:28:58Speaker 4: has published for more than 200 years is no longer
- 1:29:02Speaker 4: going to be in print after the start of the
- 1:29:04Speaker 4: new year. The Saturday Evening Post, which has been in
- 1:29:07Speaker 4: publication since 1821 and is legendary for its iconic cover
- 1:29:12Speaker 4: illustrations by Norman Rockwell, says after January, future issues will
- 1:29:17Speaker 4: only be online. Mets and Yankees both win. Next news,
- 1:29:20Speaker 4: 9 o'clock bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
- 1:29:25Speaker 1: Thank you, Daria, and congratulations to Chris Girantante. Did I
- 1:29:29Speaker 1: get that right?
- 1:29:31Speaker 8: Girgenti.
- 1:29:32Speaker 3: Girgenti.
- 1:29:33Speaker 1: Man, and you came over and told me and everything.
- 1:29:36Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Chris.
- 1:29:37Speaker 1: Girgenti won't forget again from Manhattan, who just won a
- 1:29:41Speaker 1: pair of tickets to see Air Supply November 14th at
- 1:29:44Speaker 1: Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair. Tickets on sale now at Ticketmaster.com.
- 1:29:51Speaker 1: Another chance to win tomorrow. at 825. When we come back, well,
- 1:29:56Speaker 1: Mayor Zora Mamdani just sent children in New York City
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: schools back, but he placated the teachers union. We're going
- 1:30:04Speaker 1: to explain when we come back. Listen, I want to
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: tell you about a dramatic, dramatic rescue of saving of
- 1:30:13Speaker 1: a life in Rialto, California. And listen, I covered the
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: news for a long time. I covered incidents like this
- 1:30:20Speaker 1: all the time. It is a matter of seconds. It's
- 1:30:23Speaker 1: a matter of life and death. Choking is one of
- 1:30:27Speaker 1: those moments, and there's no better example than when police
- 1:30:31Speaker 1: received a frantic 911 call on August 5th from a
- 1:30:35Speaker 1: mother in Rialto, California, who said her three-year-old son was
- 1:30:39Speaker 1: choking on his own vomit in the backseat and could
- 1:30:43Speaker 1: not breathe. He was turning colors. The mothers told dispatchers
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: where to go. They arrived, and thank God they had
- 1:30:53Speaker 1: a LifeVac in the patrol car because nothing else was working.
- 1:30:57Speaker 1: And that's why they have LifeVac. That's why there is
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: a LifeVac company just for these moments. LifeVac is the
- 1:31:05Speaker 1: first and only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device to be used
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: for second-line treatment when recommended choking protocols have been followed
- 1:31:16Speaker 1: without success. Just like with this little boy we're talking about, Matthias.
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: They tried to clear his throat. They tried to give
- 1:31:25Speaker 1: him a heimlich. He's too little. He's only three years old.
- 1:31:30Speaker 1: And that's why his life has been saved. Because of LifeVac.
- 1:31:35Speaker 1: And it saved 6,000 other lives worldwide. Real people like Matthias.
- 1:31:41Speaker 1: Real families. Real second chances. Preparedness matters. Having the right
- 1:31:46Speaker 1: tool nearby can make all the difference in the world.
- 1:31:50Speaker 1: It's why you should have a LifeVac. Learn more at lifevac.net,
- 1:31:55Speaker 1: at lifevac.net. That's lifevac.net. Visit lifevac.net and see how you
- 1:32:01Speaker 1: can be ready when it counts.
- 1:32:04Speaker 6: So yesterday, the mayor was on the move. We'll talk
- 1:32:07Speaker 6: momentarily about his AI ban in grades up to eighth
- 1:32:12Speaker 6: grade in public schools in New York City. But he
- 1:32:16Speaker 6: decided to go into the heart of the Orthodox Jewish
- 1:32:20Speaker 6: community in Borough Park, He had been invited to come
- 1:32:24Speaker 6: to Eisner's. I've been there many times, which is on
- 1:32:26Speaker 6: Coney Island Avenue between J and K. It's a huge
- 1:32:29Speaker 6: store you would go to to get any kind of
- 1:32:32Speaker 6: Jewish artifacts before the holidays. With Rosh Hashanah coming up,
- 1:32:37Speaker 6: Yom Kippur, they sell everything. Well-known, well beyond Brooklyn, which
- 1:32:42Speaker 6: has the largest Jewish population in the city. And the
- 1:32:46Speaker 6: place was packed with the black-hatted-wearing Orthodox Jews, males. But
- 1:32:52Speaker 6: there was one woman who came in as Zoran was
- 1:32:54Speaker 6: talking to the crowd. That's a woman I've known for years.
- 1:32:58Speaker 6: She's like a fixture in the Jewish Orthodox community. She
- 1:33:02Speaker 6: goes by the handle Boss Mama America Israeli Zionist. She'll
- 1:33:08Speaker 6: show up oftentimes with an American flag and an Israeli flag.
- 1:33:11Speaker 6: She's been at events for me. She's been at other events.
- 1:33:15Speaker 6: But she decided, I'm going inside in the heart of
- 1:33:19Speaker 6: Borough Park, and I'm confronting this mayor. There's no way
- 1:33:23Speaker 6: you keep this woman, Stephanie, quiet. And listen to what
- 1:33:27Speaker 6: she had to say as the mayor was talking to
- 1:33:29Speaker 6: this packed crowd of black-hatted Orthodox men who were nodding
- 1:33:34Speaker 6: their head in agreement with whatever he was saying at
- 1:33:37Speaker 6: that moment.
- 1:33:38Speaker 9: I can't believe.
- 1:33:39Speaker 14: That you're in a Jewish store before Rosh Hashanah.
- 1:33:42Speaker 3: You're causing all the anti-Semitism. You're not the ambassador for America.
- 1:33:48Speaker 2: Shame on you for coming to Borough Park where my bubby.
- 1:33:51Speaker 3: Came after the Holocaust.
- 1:33:53Speaker 4: My bubby and I, we came to Borough Park. You
- 1:33:57Speaker 4: have such good for coming here.
- 1:33:59Speaker 3: Your mom's there. Shame on you. I love her. She's
- 1:34:02Speaker 3: my hero. Where was everybody else? who should have been
- 1:34:07Speaker 3: there to protest the mayor's arrival, right?
- 1:34:09Speaker 6: On a day in which earlier anti-Semitic crimes hit a
- 1:34:13Speaker 6: new high, the police commissioner had to acknowledge that while
- 1:34:16Speaker 6: the mayor was there. Where were all the other people
- 1:34:20Speaker 6: always yelling and screaming? I always say, you don't like
- 1:34:24Speaker 6: this mayor, organize and mobilize, make sure he's not mayor
- 1:34:27Speaker 6: in 2029. She was there by herself.
- 1:34:29Speaker 3: Where was everybody else?
- 1:34:31Speaker 6: Because you see in these Orthodox and Hasidic communities, Whatever
- 1:34:35Speaker 6: the rabbi tells you, that's what you do. So the
- 1:34:38Speaker 6: rabbi determined, a series of rabbis said, hey, he's the mayor.
- 1:34:43Speaker 6: We do business with the city. There's a lot of
- 1:34:45Speaker 6: social services provided by the city. Read into that what
- 1:34:48Speaker 6: you want. Let's not upset the mayor. They rolled out
- 1:34:52Speaker 6: the red carpet. They invited him. And more importantly, the
- 1:34:55Speaker 6: owners of Eisner's had already predetermined this was not going
- 1:34:59Speaker 6: to hurt their business before Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
- 1:35:02Speaker 3: Well, they would never have done this. It would hurt
- 1:35:04Speaker 3: the bottom line. So everybody out there, this is right
- 1:35:09Speaker 3: in your backyard. You stay quiet. This is a midday.
- 1:35:12Speaker 6: This is not like he did it at 3 o'clock
- 1:35:14Speaker 6: in the morning. He slept in and slept out. So
- 1:35:17Speaker 6: I'm tired of listening to these people. Instead of complaining,
- 1:35:20Speaker 6: organize and mobilize. But Stephanie was there.
- 1:35:24Speaker 3: Where was everybody else? It is amazing.
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: It is amazing because, remind me, did he win the
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: Jewish vote in the election?
- 1:35:34Speaker 3: Not that area. No way. Cuomo won that overwhelmingly.
- 1:35:38Speaker 6: He won the Satmar vote in Williamsburg, which is the
- 1:35:42Speaker 6: largest Hasidic group. And they get a lot of social
- 1:35:46Speaker 6: services from the city, but they don't believe in the
- 1:35:48Speaker 6: state of Israel. They believe the only way Israel can
- 1:35:51Speaker 6: exist is when the Mashiach returns, the Messiah.
- 1:35:53Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:35:54Speaker 6: But this community there in Borough Park, I don't think
- 1:35:57Speaker 6: he got one vote.
- 1:35:58Speaker 1: Well, everybody can be bought off, it sounds like.
- 1:36:01Speaker 3: Everybody. Let's just say, follow the money.
- 1:36:06Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what, you can follow the money
- 1:36:08Speaker 1: on Zura Mamdani announcing the biggest ban on AI in
- 1:36:13Speaker 1: schools in the entire country, which I believe is going
- 1:36:17Speaker 1: to set back kids, the 600,000 plus kids in the
- 1:36:20Speaker 1: New York City school system, because while other School districts
- 1:36:25Speaker 1: all across the country are going to be learning AI
- 1:36:29Speaker 1: because every single employer wants AI. Every single college uses AI,
- 1:36:37Speaker 1: but they're going to be set back because in grade
- 1:36:40Speaker 1: school all the way to eighth grade, it's basically a
- 1:36:44Speaker 1: ban on the use of AI. Now, you're going to
- 1:36:47Speaker 1: learn some about it, something about it in high school,
- 1:36:50Speaker 1: but it's not going to be as in-depth as as
- 1:36:54Speaker 1: other school districts across the country. So these children necessarily
- 1:36:59Speaker 1: are going to be behind. And as you just said
- 1:37:01Speaker 1: a moment ago, Curtis, follow the money. Guess where the
- 1:37:05Speaker 1: money comes from? Teachers unions. a strong supporter of Zorin Mamdani,
- 1:37:12Speaker 1: and the teachers' union wants this, and so he's going
- 1:37:15Speaker 1: to do it, and he's going to put a smiling
- 1:37:18Speaker 1: face on it.
- 1:37:19Speaker 3: That's what he did. He made it sound like, oh,
- 1:37:21Speaker 3: we're protecting your children from AI. Even the teachers have
- 1:37:25Speaker 3: limited use to AI. It's because teachers don't want to
- 1:37:29Speaker 3: be replaced by AI. The unions are worried about AI.
- 1:37:35Speaker 1: And so Zoran Mamdani has knelt down and said, OK,
- 1:37:39Speaker 1: I'll give you whatever you want. And he's banning AI
- 1:37:42Speaker 1: in the grade schools. And it's going to set back
- 1:37:45Speaker 1: the kids.
- 1:37:46Speaker 3: But I guess when he runs for reelection, he's going
- 1:37:49Speaker 3: to get a lot of money, Curtis, from the teachers.
- 1:37:51Speaker 6: Oh, no, no question. But remember, he wanted to be
- 1:37:54Speaker 6: out front. So we're the first municipality to ban AI
- 1:37:58Speaker 6: in schools. We're the largest in the nation. This is
- 1:38:01Speaker 6: sort of like what Kathy Hochul did in declaring the
- 1:38:05Speaker 6: moratorium on AI data filing centers first in the nation.
- 1:38:10Speaker 6: But then we read the small print with Kathy Hochul
- 1:38:14Speaker 6: and we thought, wait, if you're under 50 megawatts or
- 1:38:17Speaker 6: whatever it was, you're okay. I've got to read the
- 1:38:20Speaker 6: small print on this, and I've really got to consult
- 1:38:23Speaker 6: the experts on this, my sons, who know all the tricks,
- 1:38:27Speaker 6: and also some teachers who you know they're going.
- 1:38:29Speaker 3: To be grading. papers. You know they're going to be
- 1:38:31Speaker 3: doing a lot of things with AI. Everybody uses AI now.
- 1:38:35Speaker 3: Everybody in companies everywhere, and these kids are going to
- 1:38:38Speaker 3: be set behind now. It's a shame.
- 1:38:41Speaker 6: Well, he grabs a headline for the day. He does
- 1:38:43Speaker 6: a Kathy Hochul headline. And let's see what the result
- 1:38:47Speaker 6: of my conversations are over the weekend. And I'll be
- 1:38:50Speaker 6: able to, when we come back after the Labor Day weekend,
- 1:38:52Speaker 6: be able to explain to people what I think is
- 1:38:55Speaker 6: going on from the people that this would directly impact.
- 1:38:58Speaker 6: Up next, oh, boy, this is the last weekend for
- 1:39:02Speaker 6: the Jersey Shore and other beach communities. I want to
- 1:39:05Speaker 6: definitely ask Natalie and Larry Smith. How it's been on
- 1:39:09Speaker 6: the Jersey Shore with all the inclement weather, the flooding,
- 1:39:12Speaker 6: the storms. And then also we'll get into it longer
- 1:39:17Speaker 6: tomorrow is the death of the woman most associated with
- 1:39:21Speaker 6: the creation of now Gloria Steinem, who was not only
- 1:39:25Speaker 6: a CIA agent. but a playboy bunny. So let me
- 1:39:30Speaker 6: take you, Larry and Natalie, back to the Memorial Day weekend.
- 1:39:34Speaker 6: I was at Coney Island, and I'll be at Coney
- 1:39:36Speaker 6: Island Labor Day weekend and the beach season. But both
- 1:39:40Speaker 6: of you said, oh yeah, no, Jersey Shore. We grew
- 1:39:42Speaker 6: up on the Jersey Shore. We're going to be down
- 1:39:44Speaker 6: on the Jersey Shore. So hop along, Natalie, who has
- 1:39:48Speaker 6: been forced to stay at home and convalesce from knee surgery,
- 1:39:51Speaker 6: and now you're back in studio.
- 1:39:52Speaker 3: Thank you for doing that.
- 1:39:54Speaker 6: But I'll bet you you're going to hop your way
- 1:39:56Speaker 6: down to the Jersey Shore for the final weekend.
- 1:39:58Speaker 3: Am I right? I will be.
- 1:40:00Speaker 4: I am going to hop along the sand.
- 1:40:02Speaker 3: I haven't seen you hop yet. Yeah, but I'll tell you. Ever,
- 1:40:06Speaker 3: by the way. I can show you if you'd like.
- 1:40:09Speaker 5: But yeah, walking on sand after a knee procedure, not
- 1:40:13Speaker 5: so good.
- 1:40:15Speaker 1: So you're willing to hop for me?
- 1:40:17Speaker 3: That's what I took out of that sentence. I'm willing
- 1:40:19Speaker 3: to hop for the beach. I got it.
- 1:40:22Speaker 6: But you, Larry, you've grown up on the Jersey Shore.
- 1:40:25Speaker 6: You have family there. Ultimately, when the books are closed
- 1:40:30Speaker 6: after the Labor Day weekend, how do you think business
- 1:40:33Speaker 6: will report it that the summer was?
- 1:40:35Speaker 1: Well, some numbers are already out, and this is stunning, actually.
- 1:40:40Speaker 3: Rental... prices.
- 1:40:42Speaker 1: Surged by 53% year to year at the Jersey Shore.
- 1:40:48Speaker 1: So the people that owned houses and rented them out
- 1:40:50Speaker 1: at the Jersey Shore, they certainly made a lot of money.
- 1:40:54Speaker 1: And the amazing thing is.
- 1:40:56Speaker 3: Even with this huge increase in prices, most places were
- 1:41:00Speaker 3: sold out.
- 1:41:01Speaker 19: Wow.
- 1:41:02Speaker 1: Still, I don't know if you've been paying attention, but
- 1:41:05Speaker 1: the property values at the Jersey Shore are skyrocketed over
- 1:41:10Speaker 1: the last five years. I mean, to get into a
- 1:41:12Speaker 1: Jersey Shore house right now, even to buy a floor
- 1:41:16Speaker 1: of a Jersey house, you're looking at a million dollars
- 1:41:18Speaker 1: at this point. Some of the places like in Avalon
- 1:41:21Speaker 1: and Ocean City and Long Beach, they've gone up to
- 1:41:24Speaker 1: like $ 4 million for some of the places, especially... The
- 1:41:28Speaker 1: closer you get to the ocean, the more they go up.
- 1:41:31Speaker 1: So I read a big story about the Jersey Shore.
- 1:41:35Speaker 1: They're saying it's becoming the Hamptons of New Jersey, some
- 1:41:39Speaker 1: of these areas that people really want to go to.
- 1:41:42Speaker 1: But as far as the numbers that I think that
- 1:41:44Speaker 1: are going to come out, rain doesn't hurt anything. Rain
- 1:41:48Speaker 1: never hurts anything because people have already.
- 1:41:50Speaker 3: Booked their houses. Wow.
- 1:41:52Speaker 1: And they're going to go down there no matter what,
- 1:41:54Speaker 1: and they actually spend more money– When it rains, the
- 1:41:59Speaker 1: amusement parks may not do too well, but the restaurants
- 1:42:02Speaker 1: are going to do really well, and the stores are
- 1:42:04Speaker 1: going to do really well.
- 1:42:06Speaker 3: So we'll see when the numbers come out, but I
- 1:42:08Speaker 3: think it's going to be up.
- 1:42:09Speaker 6: Well, we started with this subject at the start of
- 1:42:11Speaker 6: the program, and then the news of the passing of
- 1:42:14Speaker 6: Gloria Steinem. Remember back in the days of peace, love,
- 1:42:18Speaker 6: and happiness, the hippie days when NOW was created, National
- 1:42:25Speaker 6: Organization of Women, We're going to burn our bras. There
- 1:42:29Speaker 6: were two women synonymous with that, Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan.
- 1:42:33Speaker 6: And I remember the guy saying, Gloria Steinem, you burn
- 1:42:36Speaker 6: your bra. We don't want to see the breasts of
- 1:42:38Speaker 6: Betty Friedan. Betty Friedan wasn't a good looker. But Gloria
- 1:42:43Speaker 6: Steinem did not fit the profile of what many people
- 1:42:47Speaker 6: wanted to stereotype as the now crowd. Her background, we
- 1:42:50Speaker 6: need to do a deep dive tomorrow. She was a
- 1:42:53Speaker 6: CIA agent that went undercover.
- 1:42:57Speaker 3: She was a playboy bunny for you, Hefner.
- 1:43:00Speaker 19: Yep.
- 1:43:01Speaker 3: She was a journalist.
- 1:43:02Speaker 6: Yeah, journalist, but also she was a man magnet. Almost
- 1:43:07Speaker 6: every famous guy wanted to be seen dating her or
- 1:43:11Speaker 6: going out with her. I would say she was the
- 1:43:14Speaker 6: equivalent of almost like a Jane Fonda type at that time.
- 1:43:17Speaker 3: You know, very good looking.
- 1:43:19Speaker 6: You didn't necessarily put her in a certain box or
- 1:43:22Speaker 6: You know how Jane Fonda ended up with Ted Turner.
- 1:43:25Speaker 10: Right.
- 1:43:26Speaker 6: She ended up with a lot of high profile men,
- 1:43:29Speaker 6: but she's dead at the age of 92. And she
- 1:43:33Speaker 6: was really the face of the now crowd. They wanted
- 1:43:37Speaker 6: that because they realized when it came to marketing and
- 1:43:39Speaker 6: selling that concept, National Organization of Women Producers. Her face
- 1:43:44Speaker 6: would be better to sell that than Betty for that.
- 1:43:47Speaker 1: And her face was on every magazine, in every newspaper.
- 1:43:51Speaker 1: She was one of the most famous women in the
- 1:43:54Speaker 1: world for several years there. She is and always will
- 1:43:58Speaker 1: be the face of the women's movement. We'll talk a
- 1:44:01Speaker 1: lot more about her tomorrow. But in case you haven't heard,
- 1:44:04Speaker 1: Gloria Steinem, dead at the age of 92. They found
- 1:44:08Speaker 1: her in her New York City apartment.
- 1:44:10Speaker 6: The talkback of the morning and winner of the Curtis
- 1:44:12Speaker 6: Lee with Larry Menti in the morning t-shirt wanted to
- 1:44:15Speaker 6: talk about the random attacks across the city.
- 1:44:18Speaker 3: That seem to be happening each and every day.
- 1:44:20Speaker 22: More emphasis on protecting the public from these crazy people,
- 1:44:26Speaker 22: no matter what reason they killed the people. Protecting the
- 1:44:30Speaker 22: public from them and not to let them go free
- 1:44:34Speaker 22: because they were insane or whatever.
- 1:44:37Speaker 1: That's the thing that gets me.
- 1:44:39Speaker 6: Oh, and I think it's almost everybody cannot figure that out,
- 1:44:42Speaker 6: how they're released into the streets. And remember, the Talkback
- 1:44:46Speaker 6: of the Week will win a C-Crane radio for the

- 1:45:40Speaker 1: Clancy trial. My feeling is it's going to be a
- 1:45:42Speaker 1: hung jury. I think you agree with that. So we're
- 1:45:45Speaker 1: going to have a lot to talk about tomorrow.
- 1:45:47Speaker 3: Oh, no doubt.
- 1:45:47Speaker 6: And also maybe a further explanation why Kathy Hochul declared
