Hour 2: Trump and the UN · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, the White House has lost in court. Judges ruled, U.S.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: District Judge Timothy Kelly has ruled that they can't pull
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the press credentials. He believes, he didn't rule on this,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: he believes it is unconstitutional and might have to be
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: cleared up by a higher court. For the time being,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: he has a 14-day hold on that, a 14-day respite.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: So CNN, MSNOW, and Politico will be able to get
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: into the White House at least for the next 14 days.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: So let's talk to our own correspondent, John Decker, W.O.,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: our White House correspondent and Washington correspondent. He's also host
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: of the podcast, The White House Briefing Room with John Decker.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: That can be found on the iHeartRadio app. So, John,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I went through a little bit on this ruling yesterday
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: about the press corps. What happens now?
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Well, what happens now is that those news organizations can
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: return to cover the White House. The ban has been lifted.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: As you pointed out, this is what's known as a
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: temporary restraining order, a TRO. It's an injunction, but it
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: lasts for 14 days. And the administration has 14 days
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: in which to appeal this decision to the D.C. Circuit
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Court of Appeals. And I would imagine they'll do that.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: But what it means is that this particular issue in
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: the short term is is one in which the president
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: has suffered a loss in the federal courts. He predicted
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: that would happen. I predicted that would happen back on Tuesday.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: And this is one of those issues in which the
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: president clearly not happy with the coverage that he's receiving
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: from certain news organizations, including the ones that were banned.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Do you see this going up to the Supreme Court?
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: No, I don't. I think that at certain points, The
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: administration drops this effort. You know, it was always and
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: is a losing cause. And for the reasons that were
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: spelled out by the federal judge, a Trump appointee who
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: was assigned this case, one, there was no due process
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: for those journalists. They have received no notice that their
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: hard passes to the White House were being revoked, nor
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: did they have an opportunity to appeal that decision. That's
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: problem number one. And problem number two, for all those
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: First Amendment advocates out there, This is a clear cut
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: case of viewpoint discrimination. In other words, the president saying
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: he doesn't like the coverage of being given to him
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: by these three news organizations. And as a result, he's
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: going to ban them from the White House. That, based
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: on a 1977 court case, also in the D.C. Circuit,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: is illegal.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Now, John Decker.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Yesterday after the show, I was talking with Larry about, hey,
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: whatever happened to AP?
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: They were banned a long time ago.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: And Larry told me they were banned because they had
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: the culions, the chutzpahs to refer to the Gulf of
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Mexico as the Gulf of Mexico and not the Gulf
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: of America.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Say that ain't so, John Decker.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: No, Larry, he's right on the money. That's the reason
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: for the ban for the Associated Press. That issue, by
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the way, still being argued in the federal court system,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: still not resolved entirely. Certain AP reporters are indeed being
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: permitted to cover certain events at the White House, including
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: those in the Oval Office. It doesn't impact AP photographers.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: They travel with the president on Air Force One. They
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: go into the Oval Office, into the Cabinet Room. But
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: that's another issue that arose early on in President Trump's
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: second term.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Well, I would say, and you can tell me if
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I'm wrong about this, this is the most ballet, the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: most publicized, the most newsworthy maybe visit that the president
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: had at the White House. It certainly has gotten a
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: lot of attention for even the last two weeks with
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Chairman Xi from China. What is on the agenda? I
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: would assume AI is on there, but every time I
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: say that, I'm told, no, no, no, there's many, many
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: other things ahead of AI. Is that the case?
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Keep in mind this. I traveled with the president back
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: in May to Beijing when the president was hosted for
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: a state visit, and now the president is reciprocating. Back
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: in May, AI was not even on the agenda, and
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: it's remarkable in just a few months, that it is
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: on the agenda. Is it at the top of the
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: list of things to discuss?
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: No.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, always the top when you're talking about the
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: two largest economies in the world is tariffs and trade.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: And so that will be the number one issue discussed
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: between the president, his team, President Xi, his team at
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the White House. A series of meetings will take place.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: In addition to that, security issues, the future of Taiwan,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: and yes, the future of AI. In addition to that,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Larry and Curtis, You also have the president will certainly
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: bring up China's support of Iran and China's support of
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Russia in its war with Ukraine. Those issues will come
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: up as well.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Now, John Decker, based on public comments, it appears that
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: the Red Chinese and the United States, the Trump administration,
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: are on the same pathway with AI, which is this
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: is a race, no guardrails. To the winner go the spoils,
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: at least apparently by public comments. But boy, at the
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: United Nations yesterday, you had the two top CEOs warning
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: the world, you know, if it gets out of control
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: of the humans, it could be dystopian. Even Zelensky, who
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: was making his yearly appeal for more help, said, and
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: let me warn you, as having been in war for
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: four years, we cannot allow AI to be involved in
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: war or it'll be devastating. Speaker after speaker after speaker said,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: And yet the two most powerful world leaders just appear
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: to be saying this is a race and we don't
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: want to be confined.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: We don't want guardrails.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good read on it. You know, the
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: president made that clear in his address that he gave
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday. And although
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: President Xi hasn't spoken much about this, I think he's
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: likely on the same page as President Trump. You know,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: if it is a race, if it is a competition...
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: China would like to win that race. China would like
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: to win the competition, just like the president spelled out
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: in his speech and even before his speech that he
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: gave at the U.N.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: You know, I was listening to both Chuck Schumer and
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Hakeem Jeffries, both from New York, giving press conferences yesterday,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: and they were naming all these issues that they believe
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Congress has to deal with. And they were frustrated that
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: there's not going to be enough time, and they were
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: blaming the Republicans for that. Just correct me if I'm
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: wrong on this, but usually right before a midterm election,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Congress is off a lot because they have to go
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: out and they have to campaign. Isn't this normal?
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: It is normal. It's just a matter of when that
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: recess takes place, when they adjourn. It's just a matter
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: of timing. And maybe it was a day or two
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: earlier that we saw Congress adjourn to get back to
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: their states, to get back to their home districts. But
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: it's generally around the same time that we saw the
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: adjournment take place in other midterm election years, just like
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: we saw this year as well.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Now, we saw yesterday the president of Iran spoke and
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: he talked about we will not buck or bow or bend,
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: but we still we want to discuss. You know, we're
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: open to discussion. Did anything result from all the backchanneling
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: that took place first when our president spoke the day
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: before and when President of Iran spoke yesterday between the delegations,
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: the Americans and the Iranians that were there?
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: No, we're still in the same place, unfortunately, because I
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: think that, you know, hearing it from Republicans, the president's
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: own allies, they want this war. They're saying this publicly.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: They want this war to end quickly as well because
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: they're hearing it from their constituents, you know. You have
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: gas prices so high, diesel prices so high, the prices
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: at the supermarket because the diesel prices are so high.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: All of those reasons you have very prominent supporters of
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: the president urging him to end this conflict as soon
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: as practicable. But it hasn't happened yet. And those discussions
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: did take place in New York, but it didn't move
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: the needle in any way.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Well, John Decker, God bless you because I have never
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: seen a news cycle this chaotic. Almost every single day
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: there's a new topic thrown at you. As you mentioned,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: AI now is a big deal. Remember the flock cameras
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: were a huge deal. It's China. It's everything. What's gotten
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: lost in all of that is Cuba. And is there
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: any news out of there? I mean, we isolated Cuba.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: We talked about possibly taking the government over, and now
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: it just seems to hang on in defiance of us.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Well, the president brought up Cuba in his speech to
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: the UN, hinted, you know, that Cuba could be next.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: He's got a lot. He being the president, President Trump
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: has a lot on his plate right now that he's
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: dealing with. And let's not forget the midterm elections. They're
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: less than six weeks away. So it's not that Cuba
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: has disappeared. It's not like Cuba has gone away. Cuba, however,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: has taken a backseat to these other more important issues
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: that are on the president's plate right now. And I
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: would imagine he'll return to Cuba once these issues have
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: been cleared off his plate.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: And then finally, John Decker, with the meeting with Red
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: China out of the way as we get through the weekend,
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: when is the president beginning his promised barnstorming on behalf
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: of 38 separate Republicans either running for re-election or trying
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: to get elected? That includes Congress and the Senate.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Well, I think you're going to see that this week.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: In fact, I just got word the president just added
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: to the schedule he's going to be attending a college
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: football game. I don't have an indication about which one
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: on Saturday he'll be attending, but my guess is it's
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: going to be in one of those states that has
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: a very competitive Senate race. That would be my guess.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: And then as far as next week's schedule is concerned,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: I would imagine that the president will hit the road
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: on behalf of of a candidate who is in a
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: competitive race, whether it's the House or the Senate, the
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: president realizes what's at stake. So it's really going to
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: begin in earnest this coming week, Curtis.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: John Decker, WOR White House and Washington Correspondent, host of
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the podcast, The White House Briefing Room with John Decker.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: You can find that on the iHeartRadio app. Good talking
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: to you, John. Thank you.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Have a great day.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Bye-bye.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: You know, Curtis, I never asked you because we've dealt
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: with this on the show a lot, but do you believe...
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: That alien craft have visited our planet and that aliens
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: were ever on this planet from an outer space somewhere?
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: All those Twilight Zone adventures that I watched, remember? What
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: was that classic one for humankind or something like that?
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: My all-time favorite one. I'm sure somebody is going to
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: remind this in the talkback.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: So your research on this is the Twilight Zone?
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: No, it's actually Joe Bartlett, who was a competitor of mine. Remember,
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: he was Mr.
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: W.R.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Nobody was more into UFOs than Joe Bartlett. And this
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: particular item you're bringing up that has been released, that's
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: right in his backyard. He's playing bocce in South Carolina.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: This apparently occurred in North Carolina?
• 11:32
  Speaker 8: No.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Well, there's some in North Carolina, but the one that
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: is making the headlines was all the way down in Brazil,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: North Carolina. is the most recent sighting. Maybe it was
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Joe Bartlett. He's the one that could have seen it.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: UFO files, some more files have been released and they
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: show findings that are pretty amazing. But maybe the most
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: amazing thing, crafts shown that were flying 480 miles an
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: hour that the Air Force tried to follow and couldn't
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: follow in the Middle East. There was a case in
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Utah where a craft came down and they got a
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: pretty good shot of it. And then it took off.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: They said it almost like disappeared. But the one that
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: is getting the most attention is three women that this
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: is 30 years ago, three women in Brazil that saw
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: this strange creature and they called the police and the
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: police captured it and took it to the hospital. And
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: then it was studied, all these experts came in. Here
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: is Dr. Italio Venturelli in Brazil, who is the nation's
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: top neurologist, talking about his encounter that he had for
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: just a few minutes before it took off and disappeared.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Here's how he described it.
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: I was called in to see a patient. Getting there,
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: I realized it was a being not of this planet, Conscious,
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: no pain, no bleeding, breathing well, very calm and tranquil,
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: resembling a seven-year-old, pale, no bad odor. The head was large, teardrop-shaped,
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: a small mouth. The eyes weren't red, they were lilac,
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: also teardrop-shaped.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: By the way, if you are into this stuff at
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: all and you are one of the believers, you should
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: go ahead and see this documentary. It's called Moment of Contact,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: New Revelations of Alien Encounters. It was first released just
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: a few years ago, but they've updated it now because
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: they have new information, including this information from Brazil. So
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I'm sure one of the first ones to buy a
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: ticket is going to be Joe Bartlett. We should talk
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: to him.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, no doubt.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: And maybe this gives new meaning to the song, The
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Girls of Ipanema. Remember that song? Is that the name
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: of the.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Song, right?
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: It is. That is.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: That's the song.
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: I didn't know.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I didn't even know Ipanema was in Brazil. Man.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: I didn't get the reference.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: You are void of anything south of the equator.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Pretty much. Pretty much. Let's get some talkbacks.
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: Boys, all this going back and forth regarding Trump and
• 14:15
  Speaker 8: the mayor, I think you should stop. and consummate this
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: relationship one more time before the next segment.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Before the next segment?
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: Well, no, we have reconsummated. We had a blowout on this.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: But today, it's not about Trump and the mayor. It's
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: about Bibi and the mayor. Apparently, Bibi is going to
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: talk about the mayor, not in a flattering way when
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: he gives a speech at the UN General Assembly. We'll
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: give you a heads up on that in the 8
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: o'clock hour.
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Larry.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Curtis.
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: I went to Action Park a lot in the 90s,
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: and there were always these rides that I thought were
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: a little too daring, like the Tarzan swing where you
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: swing off a 10-foot platform on a rope and then
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: the cliff jump 25 feet in the air. But the
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: ride that really got me the most was the Loop-D-Loop
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: water slide. It was an enclosed black tube slide. I
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: only saw it there maybe a year or two, but
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: that just seemed a little more on the dangerous side
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: to me.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds unbelievably dangerous. How was that legal?
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Action Park, a.k.a.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: Traction Park, the owner welcomed all the 1-800 liars for
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: hire lawyers.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Go ahead. Sue me. Sue me. It just brought more
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: of a crowd. More of a crowd.
• 15:31
  Speaker 9: That ride was like something people rigged up in their yards.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 15:35
  Speaker 10: Like, OK, let's see if we could do something crazy here.
• 15:38
  Speaker 10: People would get stuck in it. And then the other
• 15:40
  Speaker 10: person would be coming down.
• 15:42
  Speaker 9: It would hit them. Then they projectile flew out of
• 15:45
  Speaker 9: it into this lake. And there were people sitting there.
• 15:48
  Speaker 9: It was crazy.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: And you would think, you know, people would say, well,
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to take that risk. They had ambulances outside.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: It just attracted more crowds.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: I think most of the crowd were lawyers.
• 16:03
  Speaker 10: I know we have listeners because I've spoken to them
• 16:06
  Speaker 10: that work there as teenagers. They were the lifeguards. They
• 16:09
  Speaker 10: said we had no lifeguard experience. We just sat there
• 16:12
  Speaker 10: trying to get a tan.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: The staff was drinking. The clients were drinking. They were
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: all drunk.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: This is a movie. The action part is a movie.
• 16:24
  Speaker 9: It was a great documentary. You have to watch it.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I absolutely will. But right now, let's get the news
• 16:30

  Speaker 12: Here comes the storm with the worst of it probably
• 16:45
  Speaker 12: later Friday all the way through Sunday. Southeastern New England,

  Speaker 11: his honor.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Is the most popular elected official in the city.
• 17:00
  Speaker 13: Zoran Kwame Mamdani is the big target in ads for
• 17:03
  Speaker 13: Republicans nationwide, a symbol of socialism, even claims from the
• 17:08
  Speaker 13: president that Mayor Mamdani is a, quote, communist lunatic. Mamdani

• 17:19
  Speaker 13: percent of voters statewide, even with Governor Kathy Hochul. In

  Speaker 13: Congresswoman AOC a 41 statewide Senator Chuck Schumer, a 34.
• 17:33
  Speaker 13: And it has the Democratic Socialists of America, a 29.
• 17:37
  Speaker 13: Andrew Whitman, WOR News.
• 17:39
  Speaker 11: Now, we know that Mamdani is not too popular with
• 17:41
  Speaker 11: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: My apologies there.
• 17:46
  Speaker 11: And he is expected to say why when he speaks
• 17:48
  Speaker 11: before the UN General Assembly this afternoon. President Trump will
• 17:52
  Speaker 11: meet at the White House today with China's President Xi.

• 18:05
  Speaker 11: say there are now at least 23 confirmed cases and
• 18:08
  Speaker 11: two deaths in the South Bronx. Maybe time to buy
• 18:11
  Speaker 11: a Powerball ticket. There was no winner last night.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: At least $ 360 million will now be up for grabs
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: in the next drawing set for Saturday. Odds of winning

• 18:34
  Speaker 4: Up next, Philadelphia public school teacher who pretended to be
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: a Palestinian was probably outside screaming at our own Larry
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: Mendte when he went to the Ed Sheeran concert with
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: all the protesters, has acknowledged that I was a fake, phony,
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: fraudulent fugazi. We'll give you an update on that and
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: so much more, but right now, Alicia Keys and friends...
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: adjoining the 2026 Global Citizen Festival lineup. They join previously
• 19:04

  Speaker 4: Central Park. Tickets are free and can be earned by
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: taking action. Download the Global Citizen app for more information. Larry,
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: you did a great job when you went to the
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: Ed Sheeran concert in Philadelphia Saturday night, and you talked
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: about how there was some pro-Palestinian demonstrators, pro-McElmore outside, small number,
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: but that you saw on your way in. You had
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: a fabulous time, but little did you realize that one
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: of the few out there was a woman who teaches
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: in the public school system. who had elevated herself in
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: the pro-Palestinian ranks in Philly. She had basically dyed her
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: skin olive. She spoke with a slight accent, claimed to
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: be of a Palestinian background, led pro-Hamas rallies in Philly,
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: climbed the ladder of leadership until eventually information was received
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: by the committees. You know, in those kind of groups,
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: you have a committee. And they put her in the
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: middle of the room. And after an hour of doing
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: a cross-examination of her, She acknowledged that she was a fake, phony, fraudulent,
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: fugazi Palestinian. In fact, she was born into a very
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: wealthy Jewish family that lived in a very wealthy section
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: in a high-end home.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: And, you know, there are two thoughts there. That maybe
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: she's an agent, you know, a Mossad.
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: Nope.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: This is just.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: Another case that's happened in America going back to, remember
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: the woman who was the head of the NAACP in Spokane?
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Rachel Dolezal?
• 20:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: You looked at her and you said, that's a white woman.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: No, no.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: She claimed that she was African-American until she was vetted.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: And then they kicked her out.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: She was running the NAACP in Spokane, Washington.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: She was the lead because they are the most aggressive.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: They'll do things. They'll get the posters. They'll pay for this.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: They'll drive people around. They earn that leadership because they
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: appear to be the most idealistically bound.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: Well, she's on the outside looking in.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: And they both got caught because of their makeup.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: People got suspicious. Wait a minute, isn't that black smudging
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: a little bit?
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and this woman, she had the olive complexion, you know,
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: of a dark skin, like either a Sephardic Jew or
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: a Palestinian Jew. When she was like from Ashkenazi background,
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: which means, you know, white skin from Europe, as a Jew. Oh,
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: my God, they vetted her out. But she might have
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: been in that crowd that was screaming at you on
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: your way into the Ed Sheeran concert.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: She could be. You want to hear her apology? Yes.
• 21:55
  Speaker 14: As much as I feel shame and sorrow and regret
• 21:58
  Speaker 14: to the depth of my core, I believe that apologies
• 22:02
  Speaker 14: are meaningless without action. I'm not saying any of this
• 22:05
  Speaker 14: to make an explanation or excuse myself. nor to seek
• 22:08
  Speaker 14: forgiveness I do not deserve. I simply want people's justified
• 22:13
  Speaker 14: anger at my actions to be directed where they belong,
• 22:16
  Speaker 14: onto me.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: That sounds like the whitest person I've ever heard in
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: my life. Doesn't it? Here she goes on.
• 22:24
  Speaker 14: The first thing I need to say is this. I
• 22:27
  Speaker 14: hid the truth or outright lied about my background to
• 22:31
  Speaker 14: everyone in my life. There is not a single person
• 22:34
  Speaker 14: on this planet, no friend, no fellow organizer, no one
• 22:37
  Speaker 14: in my family, no professional connection, no secret op or
• 22:41
  Speaker 14: handler who knew what I was doing. I hid my
• 22:44
  Speaker 14: family's background from everyone in Philly and also hid from
• 22:48
  Speaker 14: the people in my own family what I was doing.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Wow, she came clean, really. I mean, but they already
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: had her.
• 22:54
  Speaker 8: They had her.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, remember, they were accusing her of being a Mossad agent,
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: so she didn't want to be labeled that.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a liar. I'm a fraud. But don't call
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: me a Mossad agent.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: But can you imagine this?
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: Remember when Marlon Brando refused to show up to accept
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: his Academy Award and he had the woman?
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: She came clean, really. I mean, they already had her.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: They had her.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Remember, they were accusing her of being a Mossad agent.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: So she didn't want to be labeled that.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a liar. I'm a fraud. But don't call
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: me a Mossad agent.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: But can you imagine this?
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: We.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: Remember when Marlon Brando refused to show up to accept
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: his Academy Award and he had the woman who pretended
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: to be an Indian?
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: It turned out she had not an ounce of Indian
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: blood in her, like the U.S.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Senator from Massachusetts. What, what, she claimed she was a Cherokee?
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: Who was that?
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, sure. She's Warner.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. What was her first name?
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: Warren, not Warren. Elizabeth Warren.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: Remember she claimed, oh, you know, I'm 1,000% sure. I
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: don't understand why these people have to pretend to be something,
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: they get a lot of attention and recognition.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Wow, Elizabeth Warren, completely forgettable. She really is completely forgettable. Hey,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: want to hear a little bit from the president of
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Iran yesterday? I really don't want to play it because
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: everything he said was a lie and everybody knew it
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: that was sitting there. But just because it has been
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: such a big deal yesterday, it's not going to be
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: as big as today when Bibi gets up there. But
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: it was a big deal yesterday. So here's a couple
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: of things he said.
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: Palestine remains an open wound on the conscience of the
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: international community, and Gaza remains a symbol of the failure
• 24:37
  Speaker 7: of international mechanisms to prevent civilian suffering.
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: So about the only thing he said positive after a
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: very long speech was that he's still open to do
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: negotiations with us.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Well, there was talks going on yesterday. That was pretty good. Yeah,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: and it does sound like the sanctions are working because
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: he brought them up as well. And even the fact
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: that he brought them up lets you believe that there's
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: people there suffering.
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: Those who are ill, innocent people, the poor, the least
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: privileged in our society are the targets of these sanctions.
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: And this is what the United States seeks to do
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: with all countries, to sacrifice the population of a country
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: in order to achieve her illegitimate goals.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Basically, the person that kills their own people.
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, at least 40,000 minimal that they slaughtered.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: That's upset about how their people are being treated by
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: the United States right now. They would kill them if
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: they got up and they started to protest at all.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: So it's it's so that the whole speech just makes
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: you angry.
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: That's why it's so important when the president meets with
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: the red Chinese leader. He talks about how the red
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: Chinese are keeping Iran afloat because clearly they are. They
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: haven't said it publicly. We know they are, and that's
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: what's keeping them alive, inhaling and exhaling.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: But I will tell you what, I think that is
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: going to be issue number one. Everybody's trying to guess
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: what it is. Everybody says, no, it's going to be
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: the tariffs. It's going to be gasoline. It's going to be–
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: there's all these things. That's going to be issue number one.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: You know why? Because it's the most important thing to
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: And they agree on AI. They don't want guardrails. Both
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: of them are in a race.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: But that one is going to affect the midterm elections.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Because if China stops backing Iran and stops giving them
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: money and stops giving them goods. They're going to have
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: to surrender.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Don't hope on that, Larry.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not hoping. Did I say that?
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: No.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: What I said to you was I think that is
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: going to be issue number one. The president is going
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: to push and push and push for that. What's scary
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: is what he might be willing to give up to
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: get that.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: We will soon see. It's a full day of meetings
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: at the White House with President Xi. Up next, oh, wow,
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: the Mishigash dealing with the Dali partner state. Remember her
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: main confidant, her nephew, has been kicked out from doing security.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: You provided some information about him arming the Haitians.
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: What a look.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: We got to find out if this is going to
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: affect surrogate probate status of that estate that is worth billions.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Well, we have the best. We have the best when
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: it comes to talking about estates. And Margaret Carozza coming
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: up next.
