Hour 1: Sever Weather Around the World · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: We'll be careful driving out there. There are flood watches
0:04
Speaker 1: and flood emergencies all throughout the area because all through
0:09
Speaker 1: the night we got sometimes really heavy downpours, but it
0:13
Speaker 1: was consistently raining through the night. It's raining right now.
0:16
Speaker 1: Just looked out the window in Upper Manhattan that are
0:19
Speaker 1: iHeart headquarters, and people are still holding their umbrellas. There
0:23
Speaker 1: is still some rain coming down. New York City has
0:26
Speaker 1: activated its flash flood emergency plan in response. You know,
0:32
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this, Curtis. I was looking because
0:34
Speaker 1: we've had a lot of rain, a lot of rain
0:37
Speaker 1: over the the last couple of months through the summer,
0:40
Speaker 1: and so I thought, I wonder if we're setting a record.
0:42
Speaker 1: I wonder if we're close to a record. I looked
0:44
Speaker 1: at New Jersey first, and nowhere near a record. As
0:48
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, so far, it's less rainfall than
0:51
Speaker 1: they normally get, not by a lot, but they normally
0:54
Speaker 1: get about twenty nine inches of rain a year. And
0:57
Speaker 1: when I saw that, I thought to myself, oh my god.
1:01
Speaker 1: In Hawaii right now, in some areas they were got
1:04
Speaker 1: they got thirty two inches in one day, thirty.
1:08
Speaker 2: Two inches in one day, because they got clobbered at
1:11
Speaker 2: the tail end of that hurricane. Yeah, it turned into
1:13
Speaker 2: a tropical storm Lalla.
1:15
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:15
Speaker 1: Yeah. But and I looked that name up too, that
1:18
Speaker 1: that is an Hawaiian name. It's it's okay.
1:21
Speaker 4: It seemed like too happy of a name for a hurricane.
1:24
Speaker 3: Exactly, very good, Natalie.
1:26
Speaker 2: Yeah's at the service of the morning show, even though
1:31
Speaker 2: still in recovery from that knee surgery.
1:34
Speaker 3: Uh, did you have rain in your area? Natalie?
1:37
Speaker 5: Oh?
1:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, starting last night it was, you know, it was
1:40
Speaker 4: coming down.
1:41
Speaker 1: But I is it still raining now?
1:44
Speaker 4: It sounds like it. I can't see anything. It's kind
1:46
Speaker 4: of dark outside. But I'm surprised though New Jersey isn't
1:50
Speaker 4: at a higher level because when I passed the rivers
1:53
Speaker 4: by me, you know, they're pretty high and that's usually
1:57
Speaker 4: my indication. So it felt like a rainy summer to me.
2:02
Speaker 4: But guess not as much as we thought.
2:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, And remember though we just we came out of
2:07
Speaker 1: last year. It was really dry. Remember how dry it
2:10
Speaker 1: was last year and we had all those fires. So
2:13
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're talking about for a year.
2:16
Speaker 1: I would imagine it's from the beginning of the year.
2:18
Speaker 1: And so yeah, in the beginning of the year, they
2:21
Speaker 1: had several fires. So so yeah, yeah, but what keeps
2:26
Speaker 1: hitting me about that is like, twenty nine inches is
2:29
Speaker 1: a lot of rain for a year. Thirty two inches
2:31
Speaker 1: in a day.
2:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, clobbered, clobbered.
2:34
Speaker 2: And by the way, look at the Midwest, Indiana, many
2:38
Speaker 2: of those states, they were in the water, so they've
2:41
Speaker 2: had extreme flooding. But I want to take us back
2:45
Speaker 2: to New York City because you know what I and
2:47
Speaker 2: Nan she did yesterday and she was not a happy camper.
2:50
Speaker 2: As I took my walking stick, which is about up
2:55
Speaker 2: to my hip, from my toes to my hip, and
2:59
Speaker 2: I started in the catch basins on the upper west
3:02
Speaker 2: side because there are one hundred and fifty thousand in
3:04
Speaker 2: the city of New York. This is where all the
3:06
Speaker 2: excess water flows into. And people who are watching me
3:10
Speaker 2: and they're saying, what are you doing with that? I said, watched,
3:13
Speaker 2: this is not that long this stick. Watch how it
3:15
Speaker 2: only will go down about halfway and then I put
3:18
Speaker 2: I said, go ahead, push it down, and they say, yeah,
3:21
Speaker 2: what's down there? I said, well, garbage flat, some jets,
3:24
Speaker 2: you know, swill everything. There is nowhere for the water
3:27
Speaker 2: to go. So if it's more than an inch. Guess what,
3:30
Speaker 2: it's gonna end up in your basement. It's gonna end
3:32
Speaker 2: up all over the streets and the sidewalks. And so
3:35
Speaker 2: you got to you gotta use the Basic Maintenance which
3:38
Speaker 2: used to be the Department of Sewers. This is what
3:40
Speaker 2: they do the Ed Norton's remember of the honeymooners, Ed
3:44
Speaker 2: Norton who said, I'm a sanite sewer engineer. You gotta
3:48
Speaker 2: clean out the catch basins at least once a month.
3:50
Speaker 2: They don't do it, and I'm sure they're not doing
3:52
Speaker 2: it in some parts of the outer suburbs. And so
3:55
Speaker 2: you have a walking stick, No, only for measuring. Okay,
4:00
Speaker 2: uh if a catch bation goes down. That's a euphemism
4:03
Speaker 2: for a cane. Yeah, I mean like Buford pusher and
4:06
Speaker 2: walking tall. No, not a two by four.
4:08
Speaker 4: Wait, like the cane I have.
4:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. There you go, there's your cane.
4:12
Speaker 2: Well, one day we may all be walking around with
4:16
Speaker 2: a cane. Larry, you and me and the senior city
4:19
Speaker 2: down w o R senior citizen.
4:21
Speaker 3: At home with who else?
4:24
Speaker 2: Joe right, Joe Bartlett'll be there, John Gambling will be there.
4:28
Speaker 3: What if you alumni will be there.
4:31
Speaker 1: I love walking stick. Though that I have a walking stick.
4:35
Speaker 1: I don't have a cane. I can walk perfectly fine.
4:38
Speaker 1: I just bring a walking I only bring it to
4:40
Speaker 1: measure things exactly well.
4:42
Speaker 2: People thought I was really being weird until they saw
4:45
Speaker 2: wow and ways halfway down. Now you think that's bad.
4:49
Speaker 2: You go out to the Southwest. I've spent time out there.
4:52
Speaker 3: I know you have.
4:53
Speaker 2: Larry not far from Las Vegas is the biggest reservoir
4:57
Speaker 2: in the United States. It was cre when they put
5:00
Speaker 2: up the Hoover Dam, which was one of the biggest
5:03
Speaker 2: development projects ever in the United States, and it feeds
5:07
Speaker 2: the Colorado River. Unfortunately, the Southwest has been going through
5:11
Speaker 2: severe drought and all.
5:13
Speaker 3: The states feed off the Colorado River. But if you
5:15
Speaker 3: look at the reservoir there, it's like down and a half.
5:19
Speaker 2: I mean, boats are surfacing that it had been lost
5:23
Speaker 2: like decades ago. Pretty soon we'll be we'll see the
5:28
Speaker 2: bones and whatever other animals may have fallen into that reservoir.
5:33
Speaker 3: It's really getting bad.
5:35
Speaker 2: That affects drinking water power to twenty five million people
5:39
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, major metropolitan areas, Phoenix, Las Vegas, and it's
5:45
Speaker 2: just prolonged. So you know, when you go to the
5:47
Speaker 2: Middle East, you go to the Persian Gulf, as I've been.
5:50
Speaker 2: I remember nineteen ninety eight, it was the fiftieth anniversary
5:53
Speaker 2: of the State of Israel, and some of the people
5:55
Speaker 2: who are guiding me around say, hey, Curtis, would you
5:57
Speaker 2: like to see the river Jordan? I said, oh, yeah, yeah,
6:00
Speaker 2: naturally Saint John the Baptist baptizing Jesus. When we went there,
6:05
Speaker 2: I saw a little trickle of water, little trickle of water.
6:08
Speaker 2: Where's the rivish? The biggest problem in the future is
6:11
Speaker 2: not going to be battles over oil, petroleum, or even
6:15
Speaker 2: olive oil.
6:16
Speaker 3: It's gonna be water.
6:17
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and they're getting this right now in Europe.
6:20
Speaker 3: Yeah.
6:20
Speaker 2: But all those countries that I've discussed in the Middle East,
6:24
Speaker 2: including the Persian Gold and Israel, they built these desalinization plants.
6:29
Speaker 2: It takes about four years to build a plant to
6:32
Speaker 2: turn the salt water into fresh water, requires a lot
6:35
Speaker 2: of electricity in order to do it. But we're gonna desperate.
6:38
Speaker 2: We need them in some places that are facing severe drought.
6:41
Speaker 5: Yeah.
6:41
Speaker 1: I want to talk about like right now, because what
6:44
Speaker 1: is happening in the Southwest is a big, big deal
6:46
Speaker 1: because it's happening in Europe, and I don't know if
6:48
Speaker 1: you've seen what they're doing in Europe. They now have
6:52
Speaker 1: limited cooling water supplies for nuclear and coal fired power plants.
6:58
Speaker 1: And that's how severe it's got now. If you think
7:01
Speaker 1: about what we're doing in this country, by the way,
7:03
Speaker 1: that's in Romania and Poland, the regional energy supply has
7:08
Speaker 1: been killed by the drought. And I didn't even know
7:11
Speaker 1: that was a thing, but it is. And so now
7:14
Speaker 1: you think of all of these data centers that are
7:17
Speaker 1: being built across the country, and there is renewal, renewed
7:21
Speaker 1: interest in nuclear power plants. They're going to put up
7:24
Speaker 1: more Jerseys looking at again, They're going to start up
7:27
Speaker 1: some of theirs. Pennsylvania's looking at it again. New York's
7:29
Speaker 1: a little slow on it, but at least they're interested.
7:33
Speaker 1: How do you cool all those things if you don't
7:36
Speaker 1: have the supply of water like what they're dealing with
7:38
Speaker 1: in Europe right now. This is a real, an incredible emergency.
7:43
Speaker 1: We're assuming a lot about the future that we're always
7:47
Speaker 1: going to have a plentiful water supply until we.
7:52
Speaker 3: Don't, well think of it.
7:53
Speaker 2: Natalie Christia. Oh the quiet storm is in again. On
7:57

12:13
Speaker 1: this weekend it looked like it was going to be
12:15
Speaker 1: all over for Bayonne, the Little League team that has
12:19
Speaker 1: been just dominant in New Jersey and won the championship game.
12:24
Speaker 1: Here they had to go up to Connecticut to win
12:27
Speaker 1: the region and get a ticket to the Little League
12:30
Speaker 1: World Series. But man, their best player is Mason Rencon.
12:35
Speaker 1: In the in the championship game, he hit three home runs.
12:38
Speaker 1: He also pitched and and had like ten strikeouts. So
12:43
Speaker 1: he's he's amazing, you know, He's like remember Todd Frazier,
12:46
Speaker 1: sure when he played Tom's River from Tom's River and
12:49
Speaker 1: the Little Legue World Series went on to be a
12:51
Speaker 1: pro player. That's what this kid is like. He's just dominant.
12:54
Speaker 1: So in Connecticut they walked him every time he got up.
12:56
Speaker 1: They just were not going to pitch to him. And
12:59
Speaker 1: they were up five to nothing going into the fifth inning.
13:02
Speaker 1: Connecticut was but man, was there a comeback. He cold
13:11
Speaker 1: scores police being held at third and bayone has come
13:15
Speaker 1: back to go in front of the fifth going front
13:19
Speaker 1: by in the final score by the way, seven to six.
13:22
Speaker 1: They just won this one, but it doesn't matter. They
13:25
Speaker 1: have got a ticket to the Little League World Series.
13:29
Speaker 3: Code they're u the thought toss it over. They were down,
13:34
Speaker 3: but never out. Bayone is going to score.
13:38
Speaker 1: That was on ESPN, by the way.
13:40
Speaker 4: It was amazing. I was watching it, did you really Yeah?
13:44
Speaker 4: I think we came on when they were down and
13:46
Speaker 4: I was like, oh no, Bayone, come on and it
13:49
Speaker 4: looked like it was not gonna happen. And then and
13:52
Speaker 4: they looked, you know, they looked like they were having
13:55
Speaker 4: a hard time, and then just something I don't know,
13:57
Speaker 4: if a coach talked to them. It just all turned around.
14:00
Speaker 4: And you know what I was really amazed with because
14:02
Speaker 4: I have been watching, you know, a Little League World
14:05
Speaker 4: Series here and there. I just find it fun. But
14:07
Speaker 4: sometimes the kids look like they're seventeen. These kids looked
14:12
Speaker 4: like they were twelve.
14:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, they really did. Yeah.
14:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, they didn't look over age like sometimes they do.
14:19
Speaker 4: So it was incredible.
14:21
Speaker 1: Now everybody's gonna walk around coming because that seemed to work.
14:25
Speaker 1: I mean, they lost the game, but at least they
14:27
Speaker 1: were in the game, and they were leading a lot
14:28
Speaker 1: of the game. Everybody's gonna walk them down.
14:30
Speaker 2: Well, you were looking for a nickname, I think I
14:32
Speaker 2: got one because I've been in and out of Bayonne.
14:34
Speaker 2: I love Bayone, the Gateway to the world. Chuck Wepner
14:39
Speaker 2: was a great heavyweight bob bouncer there. He took on
14:42
Speaker 2: Muhammad Ali almost took them down. How about the Bayone Bleeders.
14:47
Speaker 2: They were bleeding just like Chuck Webner, but he was
14:51
Speaker 2: never down, never out. They got a statue to Chuck Quepna.
14:53
Speaker 2: How about that the Bayone Bleeders will have to run
14:56
Speaker 2: it by them. No, I don't think they'll go for it.
14:58
Speaker 2: My parents won't go.
15:00
Speaker 1: I'm not sure in today's today's day and age, anything
15:03
Speaker 1: to do with blood in the game.
15:04
Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what. What also took place.
15:07
Speaker 2: Iowa got into the finals in williams Sport, beating Wisconsin
15:11
Speaker 2: seven to six, but they were stealing signs now and
15:15
Speaker 2: literally you can.
15:16
Speaker 3: Do it in the major league, she can't.
15:19
Speaker 2: And Tulsa had an ineligible player, which reminded me, based
15:22
Speaker 2: on what Natalie had said, looking at some of these kids,
15:25
Speaker 2: sometimes they do look like they're sixteen or seventeen. In
15:28
Speaker 2: two thousand and one, New York City was poised to
15:32
Speaker 2: see potentially the Washington Heights team win the Little League
15:35
Speaker 2: World Series in Williamsport. The guy was pitching and hitting
15:38
Speaker 2: home runs with Danny al Monte. He was fourteen years old.
15:42
Speaker 2: He was throwing a seventy eight mile per hour fastball.
15:45
Speaker 2: Come on, they finished third place and then the record
15:48
Speaker 2: was wiped out when they found out the kid was fourteen,
15:51
Speaker 2: maybe even older, originally born in the Dominican Republic. But man,
15:55
Speaker 2: you gotta take DNA tests to some of these guys.
15:58
Speaker 2: They go on beards when they're supposedly.
16:03
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, did we ever tell you what the name was?
16:06
Speaker 3: I did find the nickname.
16:08
Speaker 4: They're called the fighting Bees.
16:12
Speaker 1: I thought bleeders was bad, but fighting bees like that,
16:16
Speaker 1: the Bayonne Bleeders because they were bleeding they were.
16:20
Speaker 4: To which changing.
16:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, the fighting Bees. I mean, what do they put
16:24
Speaker 1: on their uniforms? A bumblebee?
16:27
Speaker 3: It doesn't I did see that does no for some
16:32
Speaker 3: people it does.
16:33
Speaker 2: But the tradition continues. So you had the girls team
16:38
Speaker 2: in softball from Tom's River. You have the boys team
16:42
Speaker 2: from Bayone in the Williamsport Little League World Series, which
16:46
Speaker 2: every kid grew up hoping one day they might be
16:49
Speaker 2: able to enter.
16:50
Speaker 3: So it's been a big New Jersey year so far.
16:53
Speaker 3: Every year, every.
16:54
Speaker 1: Year New Jersey does well, they don't They seem to
16:58
Speaker 1: have someone going there every single year. This is the
17:02
Speaker 1: first for Bayone though.
17:03
Speaker 3: This is a big deal for Oh hell, yeah, and
17:05
Speaker 3: I mean they enjoy the tradition.
17:07
Speaker 2: If you've ever been a Bayone, it's almost like you're
17:10
Speaker 2: on a time machine back into the nineteen fifties.
17:13
Speaker 3: It really, it's kept so many traditions alive there. I
17:16
Speaker 3: love Bayone.
17:17
Speaker 2: If I weren't born and raised in Brooklyn, I wish
17:20
Speaker 2: I wouldn't been born and raising How doers?
17:22
Speaker 1: I could see you as a Bayone boy.
17:24
Speaker 2: I really could.
17:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, you could see him anywhere else but in New York.
17:27
Speaker 1: Really well, no, it was in New York.
17:30
Speaker 3: If it wasn't, well, remember just in Jersey, Bayone hop
17:33
Speaker 3: skipping a jump.
17:35
Speaker 2: You take the bridge in a Staten Island, next spot
17:38

Speaker 3: They're still celebrating. They've been celebrating all weekend.
17:50
Speaker 8: And by the way, they're called the Bees because the

Speaker 8: high school team is the Bees, and that's in honor
17:54
Speaker 8: of the Bayone Bees high school sports team.

Speaker 7: Around one am on Sunday morning, reports came in about
19:30

20:13
Speaker 1: just realized my high school was the Monseignor Bonner Friars.
20:16
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, man, how self.
20:19
Speaker 1: Important is that that the Augustinian Friars name the mascot
20:23
Speaker 1: after themselves. I can say that now because they won't
20:26
Speaker 1: beat me.
20:27
Speaker 3: Well I will.
20:28
Speaker 8: I will accept your apology on behalf of the people
20:30
Speaker 8: at Bayone. I'll put a call into the mirror when
20:31
Speaker 8: I get out.
20:32
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Thank you.
20:34
Speaker 2: No, there was no town takeover of Bayone over the weekend,

22:20
Speaker 1: Well, if you've never been to Cape May, New Jersey,
22:23
Speaker 1: do yourself a treat. I know it's a long ride.
22:25
Speaker 1: It's the very tip of southern New Jersey, and they
22:30
Speaker 1: have the ferry that goes over to Delaware. But do
22:32
Speaker 1: yourself a favor. It's gorgeous. Cape May is just beautiful.
22:37
Speaker 1: It's got old Victorian homes. It has the Congress Hall
22:41
Speaker 1: hotel which takes up a big part of the of
22:45
Speaker 1: the beach, and it comes just like something out of
22:48
Speaker 1: the nineteen thirties. It's just wonderful. And I have always
22:53
Speaker 1: thought that Cape May is the most beautiful town now.
22:56
Speaker 1: For a long time it was just considered a retirement community.
22:58
Speaker 1: But the millennials have moved in and they've started buying
23:00
Speaker 1: it up, and they've kept the historic feel of the
23:04
Speaker 1: place as well. So it's gorgeous. And if you've noticed
23:07
Speaker 1: when all of these breakouts, when all of these teens
23:12
Speaker 1: taking over boardwalks and taking over beaches and taking over
23:17
Speaker 1: parking lots at hotels all up and down the Jersey coast,
23:21
Speaker 1: each one of them has initiated a curfew and added
23:25
Speaker 1: more police to stop it, and so far it's been
23:27
Speaker 1: a pretty good year. Now it's happening in Cape May.
23:31
Speaker 1: Now it hasn't happened in Cape May because they don't
23:33
Speaker 1: have like a boardwalk, or they don't even have a
23:35
Speaker 1: teen area. But it's happening in Cape May a little
23:38
Speaker 1: bit more because they have a couple of bars and
23:40
Speaker 1: the beaches, and just a couple of fights broke out
23:44
Speaker 1: and that was it. Cape May said no more, no moss.
23:47
Speaker 1: Cape May. The city council got together and imposed maybe
23:51
Speaker 1: the tightest restriction on teens in New Jersey. They had
23:56
Speaker 1: come up with a new ordinance saying that teens can't
24:00
Speaker 1: be unaccompanied after eight o'clock. After ten thirty, they can't
24:05
Speaker 1: be anywhere they don't want to see teens. You can
24:08
Speaker 1: be picked up by the police if you're out because
24:10
Speaker 1: you're breaking their ordinance. So and everybody in take Cape May,
24:15
Speaker 1: I'm sure is cheering. This cap May has never ever
24:20
Speaker 1: been that town.
24:22
Speaker 3: So we know what it is.
24:24
Speaker 2: As you pointed out, Larry before, remember the Memorial Day weekend,
24:30
Speaker 2: they took over Long Branch and each and every one
24:34
Speaker 2: of the communities along the Jersey shore as you move south,
24:37
Speaker 2: started to impose their curfews. So it appears that everyone
24:41
Speaker 2: knew that because they share the information, you know, if
24:43
Speaker 2: their cell phones, they flash mob, he said, But look
24:46
Speaker 2: at very sleepy Cape May, with all those senior citizens.
24:49
Speaker 2: They haven't done nothing. So let's flash mom and Cape May.
24:53
Speaker 2: We'll take some ben gay baths, we'll drink some geritol,
24:56
Speaker 2: but then we'll party hardy till they break.
24:58
Speaker 3: And dork no more.
24:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen to this. I mean, they've gone really far,
25:02
Speaker 1: really far, and good for them. I mean, they're not
25:04
Speaker 1: messing around in Cape May. The new rules prohibit backpacks
25:08
Speaker 1: and other bags from the beach, so you can't bring
25:10
Speaker 1: a backpack to the beach, and the city's fame promenade,
25:14
Speaker 1: which is sort of like their boardwalk, between eight pm
25:18
Speaker 1: and six am, you can't have a backpack. So they've
25:22
Speaker 1: seen what's happened to other cities, and they're saying, no, no,
25:25
Speaker 1: not us. Now, maybe the most famous wild city is
25:28
Speaker 1: Wildwood that's right to the north of Cape May. So
25:32
Speaker 1: what you're saying might exactly be the true crackdown. And
25:36
Speaker 1: then everybody just filtered down south. Now, speaking of South,
25:40
Speaker 1: remember we had.
25:41
Speaker 2: Takeovers by thugs in high performance cars in Queens. We
25:47
Speaker 2: saw a whole bunch of them. I haven't seen them
25:49
Speaker 2: in Nasha County. And now they popped up in Suffolk
25:52
Speaker 2: County and over the weekend they busted. You heard in
25:55
Speaker 2: the news update before the half hour, fifteen people arrested
25:59
Speaker 2: seven car seas they were doing burnouts donuts. They had
26:04
Speaker 2: taken over Medford in Suffolk County at one o'clock in
26:08
Speaker 2: the morning.
26:09
Speaker 3: They shut down roads and the people who arrested.
26:13
Speaker 2: Now get this, Larry, they were from New York City,
26:16
Speaker 2: They're from Nassau and they were from Suffolk.
26:19
Speaker 3: Now think about that.
26:20
Speaker 2: Weeks ago in Suffolk County they took over a part
26:22
Speaker 2: of Hopeog and Brentwood.
26:24
Speaker 3: Same thing, two hundred ATVs. I mean, think of that.
26:29
Speaker 2: It's like a scene out of Hell's Angels Forever, right,
26:33
Speaker 2: except this is the difference and why we're gonna talk
26:36
Speaker 2: about it. In the seven o'clock hour where Donald Trump
26:39
Speaker 2: came to praise Bruce Blakeman, Nassau County executive running for
26:43
Speaker 2: governor and law enforcement there that has made Nasau County
26:46
Speaker 2: the safest county in America. You can't wear a mask
26:49
Speaker 2: in Nassau County unless you have a medical or religious exemption,
26:54
Speaker 2: or you get as it's a misdemeanor, you get arrested.
26:57
Speaker 2: But you can wear masks in Suffolk, and you can't
27:00
Speaker 2: wear a mask in Queens obviously in New York City.
27:02
Speaker 3: So just imagine you.
27:04
Speaker 2: Do your donuts and your burnouts in Queens, you start
27:07
Speaker 2: driving through Nassau, everybody says, all right, flags down, that
27:12
Speaker 2: means mass down. Because you don't want to be seen
27:14
Speaker 2: in Nassau County wearing a mask. They'll pull you over.
27:16
Speaker 2: And then the moment you hit the Suffolk County line, okay,
27:19
Speaker 2: flags up, which means masks up. And then you terrorize
27:23
Speaker 2: the people there. Maybe what New York City should do,
27:26
Speaker 2: because Jessica the police commissioner, who fancies herself as a
27:29
Speaker 2: constitutional lawyer, will not allow them to ban wearing a
27:33
Speaker 2: mask except for a religious or medical exemption. And likewise,
27:37
Speaker 2: in Suffolk County, do what Nassau County has done, and
27:41
Speaker 2: you won't have town takeovers like you've had now in
27:45
Speaker 2: Suffolk and in Queens. And apparently the experts are saying
27:49
Speaker 2: they're going to be coming to a town near you
27:51
Speaker 2: leading up to the Labor Day weekend.
27:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds brilliant. I haven't seen masks on teenagers,
28:01
Speaker 1: but I guess you're saying at these takeovers, at these
28:03
Speaker 1: flash mobs, they wear them all the time.
28:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they know the cameras eyebowling them, and then
28:08
Speaker 2: they cover up the license plates so you can't trace them.
28:11
Speaker 1: The flock cameras can't get them. No one fact up next.
28:14
Speaker 2: You're gonna give us an update on all the meetings
28:16
Speaker 2: of people are angry at flock cameras in the Garden State,
28:20
Speaker 2: New Jersey.
28:22
Speaker 1: And the iHeartRadio Music Festival is back and you're gonna
28:27
Speaker 1: have a chance to win today right after the nine
28:30
Speaker 1: o'clock news, You're just going to text to the iHeartRadio
28:34
Speaker 1: app and you could win tickets. Do all of the sudden,
28:37
Speaker 1: there is a flood of flock resistance across New Jersey.
28:43
Speaker 1: It's across the country, but in New Jersey. Wow, in
28:46
Speaker 1: one week, there's been town halls, there's been petitions. In Princeton,
28:51
Speaker 1: for instance, a resident launched a petition to ban the cameras,
28:55
Speaker 1: not just take some of them down, not restrictions ban
28:58
Speaker 1: the cameras instant In Brick Township. An arrest was made
29:03
Speaker 1: after a pole mounted camera was cut down by activists
29:08
Speaker 1: who apparently have been arrested in other cities in New
29:12
Speaker 1: Jersey going from place to place. There are a couple
29:15
Speaker 1: of cities that are talking about taking down some of
29:18
Speaker 1: the flock cameras. In Brick Township, they had these city
29:21
Speaker 1: hall meetings throughout throughout the town over the last five days.
29:26
Speaker 1: But the one in Franklin Township is getting the most
29:29
Speaker 1: attention because it really got heated.
29:33
Speaker 3: Not a trust government, I will not you will God
29:36
Speaker 3: be my privacy.
29:38
Speaker 2: I can't believe you an access woman for her actual address,
29:41
Speaker 2: where she lived, her house number.
29:43
Speaker 3: Don't you care be atimidated by doing that?
29:46
Speaker 9: People do not have to share their private, sensitive information
29:48
Speaker 9: about where they lived.
29:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll tell you who was really good. Was the
29:52
Speaker 1: police chief in Franklin. He got up there. He was
29:54
Speaker 1: very calm. He was getting yelled at by everybody. He
29:57
Speaker 1: was very calm, and he pushed back really hard that
30:02
Speaker 1: this is surveillance. He said, it's not surveillance.
30:04
Speaker 5: A testament that keeps coming up is everyone keeps repeating
30:07
Speaker 5: that we are civilian. There are reiterating we are not civilian.
30:13
Speaker 5: I'm not looking at your license plate. I'm not looking
30:15
Speaker 5: at your license weate, I'm not looking at your license plate.
30:18
Speaker 5: If you do commit a crime or an infraction where
30:22
Speaker 5: the police officers have to look at your license weight,
30:25
Speaker 5: then yes, we are going to look at your license plate.
30:28
Speaker 5: It's that simple.
30:29
Speaker 3: We are not tracking, no interest in tracking, not at all.
30:32
Speaker 1: It's a good argument, if you didn't commit a crime,
30:34
Speaker 1: we're not gonna have any interest in you.
30:36
Speaker 2: Right. But I think most people, whether you're to the
30:38
Speaker 2: left or to the right, more like me. I don't
30:41
Speaker 2: trust government. I'm more of a libertarian on the right.
30:45
Speaker 2: You have those on the left don't trust government. And
30:48
Speaker 2: I think the more government collects information, the more suspect
30:53
Speaker 2: people are of it because they've seen private companies mismanage
30:57
Speaker 2: their personal information and now they don't want to trust
31:00
Speaker 2: government with it. And as you pointed out, and you
31:03
Speaker 2: were the first to bring this up, by the way,
31:05
Speaker 2: I listen to talk radio or other talk radio program
31:07
Speaker 2: I don't hear them talking about flock at all, even
31:10
Speaker 2: though it's of interest to people. Just like the development
31:13
Speaker 2: of the artificial intelligence data filing centers that Larry you
31:17
Speaker 2: exclusively brought to our attention in terms of what all
31:21
Speaker 2: the meetings about it in New Jersey. These are the
31:24
Speaker 2: issues that affect people's lives locally. And notice it's brought
31:29
Speaker 2: people on the political divide together. So government's got to
31:33
Speaker 2: come up with better answers to explain it. And that
31:36
Speaker 2: CEO is running all over the place. Flock twenty four
31:39
Speaker 2: to seven, three six five, they tried to put out
31:41
Speaker 2: these fires.
31:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, Eric Langley, I think his name is, But I
31:45
Speaker 1: really was watching the Franklin town hall because it's important.
31:50
Speaker 1: That was really important, and I thought the police chief
31:54
Speaker 1: and I had to get his name, but the police
31:55
Speaker 1: chief was excellent. He was just excellent talking to them
31:59
Speaker 1: and talking about the restrictions. I don't think flock should
32:02
Speaker 1: go away. I really don't. I think it's an extremely
32:06
Speaker 1: important tool. And as you've seen the statistics, twenty five
32:09
Speaker 1: percent of the crimes it's involved in solving that get solved.
32:13
Speaker 1: You know, hundreds of thousands of missing people every week,
32:17
Speaker 1: there's thousands that are found because of the flock cameras.
32:20
Speaker 1: So you don't want to throw it out the baby
32:22
Speaker 1: with the bathwater. There's some really important things. I think
32:25
Speaker 1: the restrictions right now, they're talking about are pretty good
32:28
Speaker 1: making it. You just keep it for seven days instead
32:30
Speaker 1: of a month, and you have to have a written
32:33
Speaker 1: warrant or some kind of written explanation as why you're
32:36
Speaker 1: accessing it, because the biggest problem are people. The biggest
32:41
Speaker 1: problem is not the flock cameras. It's a cop wanting
32:45
Speaker 1: to see what his ex wife is doing, you know,
32:47
Speaker 1: a cop, somebody, some human being in a small town somewhere,
32:51
Speaker 1: maybe a big city misusing it. And that's where the
32:54
Speaker 1: restrictions have to go on. But you're not in favor
32:56
Speaker 1: of getting rid of this, no, no.
32:57
Speaker 2: But about eight percent of the cases have been people
33:01
Speaker 2: who have been pulled over to the side when one
33:04
Speaker 2: digit or one the letter of the alphabet was wrong
33:09
Speaker 2: on their license plate and they end up getting questioned
33:12
Speaker 2: by police. And I don't have to tell you what
33:14
Speaker 2: that is like. That can be a scary proposition for
33:17
Speaker 2: a lot of people out there have never been in it.
33:19
Speaker 2: To me, it doesn't bother me. But average citizen who
33:22
Speaker 2: has never been stopped, like, what did I do? Well?
33:24
Speaker 2: You know, well, flock says, it's not us. You know,
33:28
Speaker 2: we just take the numbers and we sent them.
33:30
Speaker 1: If they have them recorded, improperly, which are by the way,
33:33
Speaker 1: that is in the margin of error, which I never
33:35
Speaker 1: knew about about having your license plate and the information
33:39
Speaker 1: about you put in the wrong way. He said, we
33:43
Speaker 1: just all we do is we provide the infast.
33:45
Speaker 2: I would say it requires again, it's the same argument
33:49
Speaker 2: about these artificial intelligence statifiling centers and artificial intelligence in general.
33:55
Speaker 2: Citizens are demanding guardrails, guardrails, and right now government has
33:59
Speaker 2: been a short in a day late, and it's the
34:02
Speaker 2: people who are forcing them to address it. Because remember before,
34:05
Speaker 2: Democrats and Republicans didn't say anything about these things until
34:08
Speaker 2: these town hall forums and meetings where you know how
34:12
Speaker 2: politicians are. They see a room full of people who
34:15
Speaker 2: are angry and they said, hmm, maybe I need to
34:19
Speaker 2: readjust my position on this, or I may no longer
34:22
Speaker 2: be an elected or appointed office.
34:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're but the.
34:26
Speaker 1: One thing you said that I really love and admire
34:30
Speaker 1: is that it is the people that are rising up
34:32
Speaker 1: and saying, wait a second, we need more answers on this,
34:34
Speaker 1: because there were no answers. They just did it and
34:37
Speaker 1: they didn't let people know. And now they're saying, we
34:40
Speaker 1: need to know exactly what you're looking.
34:42
Speaker 3: For well Up next.
34:43
Speaker 2: The President came to Nasau County on Friday after we
34:47
Speaker 2: had left the airwaves, very prolaw and auder message. He
34:51
Speaker 2: gave a lot of support to the Nasau County Police
34:55
Speaker 2: and Bruce Blakeman will break it down for you all
34:58
Speaker 2: up next at seven Funny
