  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: All right, well, we haven't covered the Nancy Guthrie trial
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: in a while. By the way, a bit later today
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: I'll have Grant Francis on and he's former Saint Louis
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: blues radio guy and WRH hops his own alumnus and
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: a former Islander radio guy. He joined me on my
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: pod and we'll produce that interview for tonight.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: But I have to give you this update.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Did you hear the insanity that this dumb sheriff, this
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: absolutely dumb sheriff from the hometown of Nancy Guthrie, p
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Mac County is facing backlash today because the Pmac County
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: griff that's been stupidly handling this entire case, if you
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: ask me, told the department to share this update. Nancy
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: has been located. But you know, it's not about Nancy Guthrie.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: It's not about Savannah Guthrie's mom. It's about Nancy Radikovich,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: an eighty two year old who bears a striking resemblance
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: to the Today show host's.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Mom.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: What is the sheriff of Pima County doing? First, he
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: closes down the investigation to two people aside from him
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: and now he has his sheriff, Chris Nano by the way,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: has his social media team post something saying Nancy's been located.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: But it's not Nancy Guthrie.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: This Pima County sheriff somehow needs to resign, needs to resign.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Or be removed. He's handled this case like crap.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Someone wrote, I swear to God this Twitter account is
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: run by mister Magoo. Another user pointed out that in
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: previous missing person post Pima County and use the person's
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: surname in the text, we could say Pema County sheriff
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Department knew they were doing by doing this.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: But it's not funny.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: It's not funny the Guthrie family, to those involved with
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: trying to find this woman. It's not funny to the
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: nation who's been still trying to figure out answers for
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: this disappearance and maybe abduction as they're dealing with a
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: privatize lab, not the FBI.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Very strange.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: What is Chris Nanos trying to hide? What does he
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: know that he's shut down. He's shut down the investigation to.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Two people and now this bull crap.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I'm fired up about this because it's not right to
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: the Guthrie family. It's not right to anybody, any family,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: even probably the family of Nancy Radakovich. It's not fair
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: to them either. It's tone deaf, it's stupid, it's par
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: for the course for this bumbling Pima County Sheriff. And
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I wish there was a way to remove him from
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: office and have him resign for his incompetence in this case,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: for his incompetence in this case. But the one story
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I am focusing on in addition to this, I had
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: to just get this out there, get that out there,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: is the fact that doormen across New York City are
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: about to go on strike.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Now we have dorman downstairs where I work, and they
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: are amazing doormen and women.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: But this last happened in nineteen ninety one. Interesting enough,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I was born in ninety one. I came home to
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: East forty fourth Street in ninety two January ninety two,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: where we.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Had a great doorman, Bob.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: We got to know all the doormen of East forty
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: fourth Street.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: For the safe that I won't mention the address.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: But when I was a kid in the city, a
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: great doorman and we had to deal with the un
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: general assembly, and you know they went through a lot.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: They go through a lot.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: But you would think the building owners would want to
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: pay the doorman after after what happened in July of
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: twenty five with that shooting on Park Avenue where the
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: guys walked in the building and shot up the place.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Dormant on the first line of defense for any building,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: residential corporate, they need to.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Be commensated fairly. And now.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: On April twentieth, the contract covering thirty four thousand residential
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: building workers expires. That's the doorman, the porters, intendants, the
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: handy people, resident managers. The union three thirty two BJSAIU
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: and the Realty Advisory Board on labor Relations have been
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: locked in negotiations that have been less than promising. The
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: union is demanding wage increases to keep pace with inflation,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: stronger pension benefits, and the preservation of full employer paid
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: health care, a hard line from which they say they
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: will not back away. A strike vote passed on Wednesday
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: and thirty four thousand residential building workers going on strike
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: across the city. Building Owners ADVI I was re born
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: on real labor relations.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Support the doorman, support the hard work they do.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: And everything they give to our city's buildings and protecting
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: all of us.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: No, I gotta also say, my dad.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: And my mom, we're always busy, and sometimes the bus
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: would have to leave me with.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: My dad to pick me up with the doorman.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: And we miss him today, Jesus, We miss hazus so
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: damn much.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: How he died is something I don't even want to
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: talk about right now. But but he was always.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Protective of my family and I and protective of me.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: And I could always sit there and wait at ease.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Four fourth Street in the Beaux Arts buildings.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: For my dad to come back from work. And yeah,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: so I have a deep appreciation for the dorman of
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: the city. I love our guys downstairs where I work.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: They're awesome people. They're great to talk to.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: So here in New York, months after that horrific shooting
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: in Park Avenue, do not let these dormen go on strike.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Find a deal, pay them what they deserve. Look, I know, mom,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Donnie stood with the workers, and he'll always do that.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: But he's not wrong in this regard. The dormant of
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: our city keep us going.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: They are always there, always attentive, always helpful, and always
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: keeping us secure in the building we work at.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I can't even go upstairs with that presenting an idea.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: That's how strict they are here.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: So to the thirty four thousand that our play on
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: going on strike, I hope you get the deal you
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: want sooner than later before April twentieth.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I really do.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: And that's Monday, by the way, I really do, because
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: we cannot have.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: A dormant in less city. And they say that's also saying, hey, the.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Mentally health can just roam around and go to places
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: and disturb the peace.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Now imagine there's no.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Dormant boy, well, those homeless things, they can go right
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: on in and cause mayhem and whatever.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: And we shouldn't want that either. We shouldn't want that either.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: But that could be the chaos if the doorman go
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: on strike. This is not just.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: A living wage thing. This is a security issue because
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: the doormen are our first defense.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: So let's their defend their.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Right to have a good life and work hard and
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: be rewarded for their hard work keeping our city safe
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: and our city going.
• 10:41
