- 0:00Speaker 1: John Decker, WOR White House and Washington correspondent and host
- 0:03Speaker 1: of the podcast, The White House Briefing Room with John Decker.
- 0:06Speaker 1: You can find that in the iHeartRadio app, by the way.
- 0:08Speaker 1: It really gets you started for the day. Everything coming
- 0:12Speaker 1: out of Washington, he covers. But let's start, John. Thanks
- 0:15Speaker 1: for joining us again. Let's start with the Trump administration
- 0:20Speaker 1: announcing what they said was the biggest oil deal of
- 0:24Speaker 1: all time, which gives them access to 65 billion barrels
- 0:28Speaker 1: of of oil reserves in Venezuela. I think his hope
- 0:34Speaker 1: is that the oil prices will come down before people
- 0:39Speaker 1: start making decisions about the midterms. But I would believe
- 0:43Speaker 1: it would take a little bit longer than that.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Well, you're right.
- 0:47Speaker 3: You know, there are a lot of things that need
- 0:49Speaker 3: to happen before we see gas prices come down as
- 0:52Speaker 3: a result of this oil deal that the president announced
- 0:56Speaker 3: first on social media over the weekend.
- 0:59Speaker 4: These are oil patches, essentially.
- 1:02Speaker 3: And it's not necessarily true that oil is going to
- 1:04Speaker 3: start gushing out of these patches. So that's problem number one.
- 1:08Speaker 3: Literally billions of dollars needs to be invested to extract
- 1:12Speaker 3: that oil. And the oil itself is not going to,
- 1:16Speaker 3: you know, essentially get to gas stations all across the
- 1:19Speaker 3: country with the oil that the president's referring to. it
- 1:22Speaker 3: would be used to replenish the strategic petroleum reserves, which
- 1:27Speaker 3: have been depleted significantly by 40% since the beginning of
- 1:33Speaker 3: this conflict with Iran. So that is really the goal here. And,
- 1:37Speaker 3: of course, the president's hope of seeing gas prices, at
- 1:42Speaker 3: least oil prices, come down were dashed because of now
- 1:47Speaker 3: the resumption of the military conflict over the weekend. involving
- 1:52Speaker 3: the United States and Iran.
- 1:54Speaker 5: All right, John Decker, put your constitutional hat on to
- 1:58Speaker 5: the United States Supreme Court, which back to back has
- 2:01Speaker 5: dealt with the president's desire to complete his ballroom underneath
- 2:05Speaker 5: the White House, the 90,000 square foot ballroom. There was
- 2:10Speaker 5: an issue, a statement, now the full court ruled on it.
- 2:15Speaker 5: I think people look at that and they say, John,
- 2:18Speaker 5: sometimes it takes years for an issue to get to
- 2:21Speaker 5: be reviewed by the United States Supreme Court.
- 2:24Speaker 4: Why is this going so rapidly? How can it go
- 2:27Speaker 4: so rapidly?
- 2:29Speaker 3: It's going so rapidly because of emergency appeals that have
- 2:33Speaker 3: been filed by the Trump administration. They have lost it,
- 2:39Speaker 3: both the trial court and the appellate court level. They
- 2:42Speaker 3: made an emergency appeal today.
- 2:44Speaker 4: To the U.S.
- 2:45Speaker 3: Supreme Court. And we were surprised yesterday with a decision
- 2:49Speaker 3: that was rendered by all nine justices yesterday, five to
- 2:52Speaker 3: four decision. And the majority ruled that the entity that
- 2:56Speaker 3: was bringing this lawsuit in the first place did not
- 3:00Speaker 3: have legal standing to bring this constitutional issue to the
- 3:05Speaker 3: courts in the first place. What does that mean? It
- 3:08Speaker 3: means that the entity that brought the lawsuit was not
- 3:11Speaker 3: harmed in any way. And for that reason, the Supreme
- 3:15Speaker 3: Court said, we're not going to essentially stop any kind
- 3:20Speaker 3: of construction on that ballroom, which has been going on
- 3:23Speaker 3: for months. It takes place 20 hours a day, seven
- 3:28Speaker 3: days a week, and the work continues. Interestingly enough, writing
- 3:33Speaker 3: a dissenting opinion was the Chief Justice of the U.S.
- 3:36Speaker 3: Supreme Court. He joined the three liberal justices, in saying
- 3:42Speaker 3: that he believes that the administration would ultimately lose because
- 3:47Speaker 3: he believes that because Congress has not given approval to
- 3:51Speaker 3: this project, the project should not move forward.
- 3:55Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to get back to Iran for a
- 3:57Speaker 1: moment because I was surprised when Donald Trump yesterday said
- 4:03Speaker 1: that he's not really sure if they're talking to the
- 4:05Speaker 1: right people. He's not really sure of who is in
- 4:08Speaker 1: charge right now. He said, I don't even think they
- 4:12Speaker 1: know who's in charge in Iran. Can you comment on
- 4:15Speaker 1: that and tell us, do we know who's in charge
- 4:17Speaker 1: of Iran?
- 4:18Speaker 3: Well, I mean, there are three entities that, you know,
- 4:21Speaker 3: have been dealing with this conflict. One is the mullahs,
- 4:25Speaker 3: you know, the supreme leader always has essentially a seat
- 4:29Speaker 3: at the table and making these very important decisions.
- 4:31Speaker 4: On behalf of Iran.
- 4:33Speaker 3: Then you have the political leadership in Iran, individuals like
- 4:37Speaker 3: the speaker of the Iranian parliament, And then you have
- 4:40Speaker 3: the IRGC, the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps. They too have
- 4:45Speaker 3: a seat at the table. So that's the way that
- 4:47Speaker 3: Iran is run. And essentially, you have to get an
- 4:51Speaker 3: assent from all three of those types of individuals that
- 4:55Speaker 3: I mentioned before anything is agreed to in Iran, especially
- 4:59Speaker 3: something as important as ending the war or bringing a
- 5:03Speaker 3: halt to the fighting between the United States and Iran.
- 5:07Speaker 3: So that's who essentially has been running Iran.
- 5:11Speaker 4: That's who the U.S.
- 5:12Speaker 3: Has been dealing with for the most part. So, for instance, Larry,
- 5:16Speaker 3: when way back on April the 11th, when Vice President J.D.
- 5:21Speaker 4: Vance led a U.S.
- 5:22Speaker 3: Delegation, they met with Iranian negotiators in Islamabad. They were
- 5:28Speaker 3: simply meeting with the political leadership of Iran. And then
- 5:32Speaker 3: they'd have to take what was proposed by the U.S.
- 5:35Speaker 3: to those other two entities before getting assent. And obviously,
- 5:40Speaker 3: all three bodies that I'm describing have not agreed in
- 5:45Speaker 3: any way to ending this war or, for that matter,
- 5:47Speaker 3: reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
- 5:48Speaker 4: You mentioned Vice President J.D.
- 5:50Speaker 6: Vance.
- 5:51Speaker 5: He went to attempt to deal with Maine and the
- 5:56Speaker 5: Republican Party there. He would not answer any questions about
- 5:59Speaker 5: the economic war against Canada, the tariff war. He was
- 6:04Speaker 5: in Michigan, wouldn't answer any questions about that. That's obviously
- 6:08Speaker 5: a midterm issue in some of the border states. Do
- 6:12Speaker 5: you see that being resolved? Because that certainly does hurt
- 6:17Speaker 5: our border states because of their trade back and forth
- 6:20Speaker 5: with Canada.
- 6:22Speaker 4: Oh, you're right, Curtis.
- 6:24Speaker 3: And it's one of those issues that could lead to
- 6:26Speaker 3: the defeat of Susan Collins, who's a Republican running for office.
- 6:32Speaker 3: another term in the U.S. Senate, and she is the
- 6:34Speaker 3: only Republican running for re-election in a state won in
- 6:39Speaker 3: 2024 by Kamala Harris. So she has some headwinds. And
- 6:43Speaker 3: now there's another headwind, and that's this trade war or
- 6:45Speaker 3: trade dispute between the United States and Canada. And there
- 6:48Speaker 3: are other border states, as you mentioned, Curtis, that are
- 6:51Speaker 3: dealing with this because of the enormous amount of trade
- 6:55Speaker 3: between the United States and Canada involving places like Michigan
- 6:58Speaker 3: and and Iowa. And interestingly enough, there are Senate races
- 7:02Speaker 3: there as well. You asked me, will it get resolved?
- 7:05Speaker 3: I think that Susan Collins and those other Republicans that
- 7:09Speaker 3: are running in November certainly hope it gets resolved soon
- 7:12Speaker 3: because it is making their life more difficult in terms
- 7:17Speaker 3: of trying to win re-election, in her case, to the
- 7:20Speaker 3: Senate and in some other cases to Congress for Republicans
- 7:24Speaker 3: that represent districts that border Canada. And so we'll see
- 7:29Speaker 3: what happens. You know, right now it doesn't look like
- 7:32Speaker 3: there is any movement in terms of resolving that trade dispute.
- 7:35Speaker 1: The Trump administration and several Republicans, by the way, are
- 7:39Speaker 1: blasting Prime Minister Mark Carney. They're saying he didn't want
- 7:43Speaker 1: a deal all along, that they had a deal. And
- 7:45Speaker 1: at the last minute, he pulled out of it. He
- 7:48Speaker 1: won election on this issue of being anti-Trump and anti-American.
- 7:53Speaker 1: and his popularity has gone up since this tariff deal
- 7:57Speaker 1: has happened. Exactly the opposite in our country, but in Canada, apparently.
- 8:01Speaker 4: This is popular. Yeah, he is.
- 8:04Speaker 3: You know, we're talking about like super popular, like an 80%
- 8:07Speaker 3: approval rating right now for Mark Carney. And you're right, Larry,
- 8:11Speaker 3: he did campaign on getting tough or remaining tough with
- 8:16Speaker 3: the United States as it relates to trade negotiations. And
- 8:19Speaker 3: he's following through in that promise. So, difficult to see how,
- 8:24Speaker 3: you know, there's any concession made by Canada when, you know,
- 8:27Speaker 3: he's popular in the positions that he's taken so far
- 8:30Speaker 3: in this trade dispute. That also makes it difficult to
- 8:33Speaker 3: get to the point where this trade dispute is resolved.
- 8:36Speaker 5: Speaking of disputes, the president has jumped in both feet
- 8:40Speaker 5: on the proliferation of the AI data filing centers throughout America,
- 8:45Speaker 5: in blue states, red states, it doesn't matter.
- 8:48Speaker 7: Right.
- 8:48Speaker 5: And yesterday, I don't think he made any verbal statements,
- 8:51Speaker 5: but he published on Truth Social simply that if you're
- 8:57Speaker 5: opposed to these data centers, then I guess you want
- 9:00Speaker 5: to end up being backwards and poor and not successful
- 9:04Speaker 5: and rich. I do not think that is a successful strategy,
- 9:09Speaker 5: because if he would listen to Governor Abbott, who's done
- 9:11Speaker 5: a pirouette in some of the other red states, he'd
- 9:14Speaker 5: realize there's a lot of anger in communities who just
- 9:18Speaker 5: don't want them in their backyard, do not want them
- 9:21Speaker 5: within proximity to their homes.
- 9:24Speaker 8: Right.
- 9:24Speaker 3: You mentioned Governor Abbott of Texas. A lot of Republicans,
- 9:27Speaker 3: you know, have essentially done 180s on their position on
- 9:30Speaker 3: these data centers, initially very much for them in their communities.
- 9:36Speaker 3: in districts, simply because of the potential for economic prosperity,
- 9:42Speaker 3: you know, the jobs that it would potentially create in
- 9:45Speaker 3: their districts or in their communities. But now they realize
- 9:48Speaker 3: it's not popular with their constituents. And that's the reason
- 9:51Speaker 3: for the reversals that we've seen being made by a
- 9:54Speaker 3: number of Republican politicians. So the president not only essentially
- 10:00Speaker 3: listening to what Governor Abbott is saying, putting out that
- 10:03Speaker 3: post on Truth Social. And this is another one of
- 10:06Speaker 3: those issues in some communities, not all, but in some
- 10:10Speaker 3: communities that could impact who controls the House after the
- 10:14Speaker 3: November midterm elections.
- 10:15Speaker 1: John Decker, WOR White House correspondent and Washington correspondent and
- 10:20Speaker 1: host of the podcast, The White House Briefing Room with
- 10:22Speaker 1: John Decker. John, as always, thanks a lot. Great to
- 10:25Speaker 1: talk to you.
- 10:27Speaker 3: Thanks, Larry. Thanks, Curtis.
- 10:28Speaker 4: Have a great day. Talk to you soon.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Well, over the weekend, NASA launched a telescope into space.
- 10:35Speaker 1: This isn't just any telescope. This is much more powerful
- 10:39Speaker 1: than the Hubble telescope. And by the way, the name
- 10:43Speaker 1: of the telescope, is the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.
- 10:48Speaker 1: So you might ask, who is Nancy Grace Roman? She
- 10:51Speaker 1: was born in 1925, and she went on to work
- 10:54Speaker 1: at NASA. She is called the mother of Hubble. She
- 10:58Speaker 1: was the first female executive with NASA. She was the
- 11:02Speaker 1: chief of astronomy, and she is the one that shepherded
- 11:06Speaker 1: through the Hubble Telescope, which has given us a wealth
- 11:10Speaker 1: of information. So they named this new telescope after her.
- 11:14Speaker 1: It's going to go out in space, so it's not
- 11:16Speaker 1: going to have the same restrictions as a telescope down here.
- 11:20Speaker 1: And it's going to keep turning, and it's going to
- 11:23Speaker 1: keep sending us information about other solar systems, and I'm
- 11:30Speaker 1: going to get to this in a second, in dark matter.
- 11:32Speaker 9: It's got 100 times the field of view of Hubble.
- 11:35Speaker 9: It's like a wide-angle lens on the universe. And it's
- 11:37Speaker 9: also got this panorama mode. It'll sweep the sky, so
- 11:40Speaker 9: it covers the sky 1,000 times as fast as Hubble.
- 11:43Speaker 1: That's the head of NASA, Sean Donegal-Goldman, who also talked
- 11:48Speaker 1: about when we're going to finally start getting information back.
- 11:52Speaker 9: We're going to start getting data just to calibrate the telescope,
- 11:56Speaker 9: you know, within about a week of launch. But the
- 11:58Speaker 9: real exciting part is going to come in about 90
- 12:00Speaker 9: days after launch. That's when we'll have our first images
- 12:02Speaker 9: that we'll release to the public.
- 12:04Speaker 1: And Bill Nye, the science guy, is still around. And
- 12:06Speaker 1: Bill Nye says this is what they really want to
- 12:09Speaker 1: find out.
- 12:10Speaker 10: What we're looking for with this thing... among other things,
- 12:13Speaker 10: is dark matter, dark energy. And this seems to be,
- 12:18Speaker 10: or rather it is, a force in the cosmos that
- 12:21Speaker 10: is just not understood. And so this is really nominally
- 12:24Speaker 10: a very, very exciting time if we can learn more
- 12:27Speaker 10: about this.
- 12:28Speaker 5: First of all, I hate Bill Nye, the science guy.
- 12:31Speaker 5: I had to watch him with my three sons. I
- 12:34Speaker 5: hated every second of it. By the way, you said
- 12:37Speaker 5: Nancy Grace. Nobody is going to think of that woman
- 12:39Speaker 5: you were talking about. They're going to think of Court
- 12:43Speaker 5: TV Nancy Grace. How stupid could NASA be?
- 12:46Speaker 4: Well, that was her name. What do you mean how
- 12:48Speaker 4: stupid could it be? Because you're going to think it's
- 12:49Speaker 4: Nancy Grace.
- 12:52Speaker 1: You're not going to say, well, we're going to change
- 12:54Speaker 1: the name of her. Her full name is Nancy Grace Roman.
- 12:59Speaker 11: Just take Grace out, Nancy Roman, then you would never
- 13:01Speaker 11: have any confusion.
- 13:03Speaker 1: She didn't want to take Grace out, so why don't
- 13:05Speaker 1: we go by what she has.
- 13:06Speaker 4: Who cares if they don't know.
- 13:08Speaker 3: Who it is?
- 13:08Speaker 12: Nancy G.
- 13:09Speaker 3: Roman.
- 13:10Speaker 4: Man, you guys worry about the weirdest things.
- 13:14Speaker 5: Why don't we just go back to Galileo's original telescope
- 13:17Speaker 5: and land some men and women on the moon? My God,
- 13:21Speaker 5: since 69, we haven't been landing people on the moon.
- 13:25Speaker 4: What is so difficult about this?
- 13:27Speaker 12: Give him some Nutella, get him to the moon.
- 13:30Speaker 1: Note to self, don't talk technology with Curtis ever again.
- 13:34Speaker 4: All right, got it.
- 13:35Speaker 5: You sure Nutella is not sponsoring this telescope?
- 13:39Speaker 4: I'm positive they're not. I'm positive they're not. I'm positive
- 13:42Speaker 4: that was just an accident.
- 13:43Speaker 5: The first image is you see that Nutella jar floating
- 13:47Speaker 5: around in space.
- 13:48Speaker 1: I think of the 97 conspiracies you've talked about on
- 13:52Speaker 1: this show, I think that was the first one.
- 13:53Speaker 10: I do.
- 13:54Speaker 4: I believe that was the first conspiracy. Let's get some talkbacks.
- 13:59Speaker 1: What is the difference?
- 14:01Speaker 3: Guilty?
- 14:02Speaker 1: Innocent, guilty by reason of insanity, guilty because she's a murderer.
- 14:09Speaker 4: Who's going to take care of this woman forever? We are.
- 14:13Speaker 4: So for that reason alone, they need to put her down.
- 14:17Speaker 1: Yeah, well, that's not going to happen. They don't have
- 14:19Speaker 1: the death penalty in Massachusetts, but I agree with you.
- 14:22Speaker 1: I don't think she should breathe another breath. I'm furious
- 14:26Speaker 1: over this case.
- 14:28Speaker 13: We live in sick, sad times when the likes of
- 14:32Speaker 13: Luigi Mangione and Lindsay Clancy have fan clubs that are
- 14:37Speaker 13: rooting for them to the core. It's really sick. Sick
- 14:42Speaker 13: and getting sicker. But Lindsay Clancy reminds me of the
- 14:47Speaker 13: whole Lizzie Borden story. So maybe she's the new Lindsay Borden.
- 14:52Speaker 13: Shows you that there's always been sick people in this world.
- 14:55Speaker 4: Lindsey Borden. What was that? New Bedford, Fall River, Massachusetts?
- 14:59Speaker 4: Very good. Yes, it was in the 1800s. I spent
- 15:02Speaker 4: a lot of time there. That's where I learned about
- 15:05Speaker 4: the Cape Verdeans.
- 15:06Speaker 7: Wow.
- 15:06Speaker 4: And I learned about Lindsey Borden.
- 15:08Speaker 5: But really, you have to go that far.
- 15:10Speaker 10: Back, pal?
- 15:11Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 15:12Speaker 1: I love what he said about the people following. He
- 15:15Speaker 1: can't believe that there's people supporting Luigi Mangione. He can't
- 15:18Speaker 1: believe there's people... following lindsey grace as well i mean.
- 15:22Speaker 4: It is you mean lindsey clancy.
- 15:25Speaker 14: Now you got you got nancy grace in my head
- 15:30Speaker 14: now i'm thinking to myself oh my god it's in
- 15:35Speaker 14: my head now but when you have uh when you
- 15:38Speaker 14: have people supporting people like that it explains our elections
- 15:42Speaker 14: doesn't it there's people like that.
- 15:44Speaker 15: Out there wow it's gonna take a while to get
- 15:47Speaker 15: the oil out of venezuela So we shouldn't do it.
- 15:51Speaker 15: Everything takes time. That's the stupidest reason I ever heard
- 15:55Speaker 15: not to do something, because it's going to take time.
- 15:59Speaker 1: I understand that. I get that. Everybody gets that. We're
- 16:01Speaker 1: just talking about the effect on the midterm elections.
- 16:04Speaker 4: But you're right.
- 16:05Speaker 1: It's a long-term benefit. It's not going to help the
- 16:08Speaker 1: Republicans win in the short term.
- 16:11Speaker 6: I'm the same age as that other guy that works
- 16:14Speaker 6: with Larry and I haven't stopped smoking pot since I
- 16:21Speaker 6: was 13 years old. The only break I took was
- 16:25Speaker 6: when my kids were very young and my wife didn't
- 16:29Speaker 6: want it around. But once I could get away, I
- 16:35Speaker 6: haven't stopped smoking.
- 16:36Speaker 8: Ever, ever.
- 16:37Speaker 4: Telling you. Maybe that's why he forgot your name.
- 16:40Speaker 12: The other guy with Larry.
- 16:44Speaker 4: That's a good one. He's smoking so much pot. That's
- 16:46Speaker 4: a good one.
- 16:46Speaker 12: I think there's other reasons.
- 16:48Speaker 5: But again, it was a survey done that most pot
- 16:52Speaker 5: users are 55 plus. Not millennials and Gen Zers, as
- 16:57Speaker 5: we would have thought. But right now, let's get our
- 17:01Speaker 5: news at 730.
- 17:03Speaker 4: Hold on.
- 17:04Speaker 16: You actually thought that younger people were smoking more than.
- 17:09Speaker 5: Older people?
- 17:10Speaker 4: You're talking to me?
- 17:11Speaker 12: Either one of you. I'm just shocked that you guys
- 17:14Speaker 12: thought that.
- 17:16Speaker 16: I mean, maybe it's because I keep up with the
- 17:18Speaker 16: news more than a lot of people do.
- 17:19Speaker 4: Maybe it's because you smoke pot every night. Maybe that's
- 17:22Speaker 4: the reason.
- 17:22Speaker 12: Actually, I have to tell you, I've never tried this stuff.
- 17:24Speaker 4: I've never tried this stuff.
- 17:25Speaker 7: Really?
- 17:26Speaker 4: Really, I haven't. But, you know, know plenty of people
- 17:29Speaker 4: who have. Well, Curtis has some. What time are we done?
- 17:35Speaker 3: Oh, man.
- 17:36Speaker 5: Better than Percocet. Better than taking those Percocets, you become
- 17:40Speaker 5: an addict.
- 17:41Speaker 16: There is rain in the forecast later today. That'll give
- 17:43Speaker 16: you a headache, possibly. Could be heavy, so the city's
- 17:46Speaker 16: activated the storm emergency plan. Make sure that if you
- 17:49Speaker 16: are in an area that's likely to flood, like a
- 17:51Speaker 16: basement apartment, you have a plan to move to higher
- 17:53Speaker 16: ground if the water does rise. And while the ride-in
- 17:56Speaker 16: should be okay, give yourself some extra time on the
- 17:58Speaker 16: ride home. An internal investigation is underway in yesterday's deadly
- 18:02Speaker 16: standoff in Times Square. Police shooting and killing a knife-wielding
- 18:06Speaker 16: woman who stabbed at least one person and threatened to
- 18:09Speaker 16: attack the others.
- 18:11Speaker 8: Cops say that the attacker had a documented mental health
- 18:14Speaker 8: history with the department. Two incidents dating back to both
- 18:17Speaker 8: 2018 and 2019. All of this chaos unfolding here in
- 18:20Speaker 8: Times Square where thousands of tourists come to each and
- 18:23Speaker 8: every day. A random stabbing on these two innocent people
- 18:27Speaker 8: that a suspect was shot and killed.
- 18:29Speaker 16: That's Channel 7's Phil Tate. The Supreme Court says President
- 18:32Speaker 16: Trump can keep building the White House ballroom. The high
- 18:35Speaker 16: court ruled 5-4 to grant the president's emergency request to
- 18:39Speaker 16: block a lower court ruling that would have stopped construction.
- 18:42Speaker 16: The city is rolling out a plan to address Legionnaires
- 18:45Speaker 16: disease after the big outbreak on the Upper East Side.
- 18:48Speaker 17: The plan includes an improvement of oversight to cooling towers,
- 18:51Speaker 17: a place that can develop the Legionella bacteria and spread
- 18:53Speaker 17: it through mist. Mamdani's administration also looking at faster testing
- 18:57Speaker 17: for Legionella bacteria and quicker enforcement of cooling tower violations.
- 19:02Speaker 17: Officials will also study alternative cooling systems. And the city
- 19:06Speaker 17: is launching a new mapping feature allowing the public to
- 19:08Speaker 17: view registered cooling towers. A recent Legionnaires cluster on the
- 19:11Speaker 17: Upper East Side has resulted in 94 cases and 11 deaths.
- 19:15Speaker 17: I'm Scott Pringle, WOR News.
- 19:17Speaker 16: John Galliano is apologizing for anti-Semitic remarks and any pain
- 19:21Speaker 16: that he says he caused the Jewish community. Those comments
- 19:24Speaker 16: after the Metropolitan Museum of Art yesterday announced that it
- 19:27Speaker 16: would no longer honor the designer at its 2027 gala.

- 19:36Speaker 5: Notice every day it's either a person with a major
- 19:38Speaker 5: depressive disorder, bipolar, schizophrenia, psychotic disorders who commits a violent crime.
- 19:45Speaker 5: It happened in Times Square. We'll break it down for
- 19:47Speaker 5: you up next. Meantime, think back. to how many great
- 19:51Speaker 5: teachers you had. One stands out in my mind, fifth grade, PS114, Kanasi,
- 19:55Speaker 5: Alan Topol, the very best for me. And that's why
- 19:59Speaker 5: we are helping teachers bring more opportunities, creativity, and learning

- 20:18Speaker 2: You notice there's a pattern here in New York City.
- 20:22Speaker 2: Every day there's a major crime situation involving somebody either
- 20:26Speaker 2: who has major depressive disorder, they're bipolar, they have schizophrenia,
- 20:31Speaker 2: they have psychotic disorders, people being pushed in the tracks, stabbed, beaten.
- 20:38Speaker 5: And now the gateway to the world. was the focus
- 20:43Speaker 5: of a woman who clearly has some mental impairments. She
- 20:49Speaker 5: happened to be walking right in front of the old
- 20:54Speaker 5: Red Lobster location that Natalie, we had gone to for
- 20:58Speaker 5: the final, all the shrimp you could eat before they closed.
- 21:02Speaker 12: Couldn't get a bigger, more populated area.
- 21:05Speaker 4: Right.
- 21:05Speaker 5: So she had two knives. And a husband and a
- 21:08Speaker 5: wife are getting out of the subway station there, and
- 21:11Speaker 5: she stabs the man. Luckily, he survives that. She continues
- 21:16Speaker 5: to go north. She sees a woman about 32 years old,
- 21:20Speaker 5: stabs her. Unfortunately, she passes away. And then she gets
- 21:25Speaker 5: cornered by the NYPD right outside of the substation, the
- 21:28Speaker 5: very famous substation on 43rd, right between 7th and Broadway.
- 21:34Speaker 5: And that's when they tell her in a four-minute conversation
- 21:37Speaker 5: back and forth, drop the knives. They hit her with
- 21:41Speaker 5: two tasers. Apparently, it did not have an impact. She
- 21:45Speaker 5: then charges them saying, I'm not dropping anything. I would
- 21:48Speaker 5: rather kill you both. And they fire shots that take
- 21:52Speaker 5: her life.
- 21:53Speaker 4: But again, we've seen this over and over and over.
- 21:57Speaker 5: And there'll be some out there who question why the
- 22:00Speaker 5: use of lethal force by the police.
- 22:02Speaker 4: Well, guess what? They're the ones responding. They're the ones there.
- 22:07Speaker 5: They can't wait for a mental health unit or backup
- 22:10Speaker 5: or somebody maybe who has other materials that maybe could
- 22:13Speaker 5: have restrained her. They had to deal with this situation
- 22:16Speaker 5: on the spot, and they made the right decision.
- 22:20Speaker 4: It's unfortunate.
- 22:21Speaker 5: They say now this woman, Ms. Cisneros, that she had
- 22:25Speaker 5: two encounters, mental health history, 2018, 2019. That's a long
- 22:30Speaker 5: time ago. What's been happening in the interim? Because I
- 22:34Speaker 5: don't think she got better all of a sudden and
- 22:36Speaker 5: then all of a sudden this happened. So I think
- 22:38Speaker 5: we're going to find out much more in the coming
- 22:41Speaker 5: days about what, if any, help she was getting and
- 22:45Speaker 5: what were her demons that drove her to do this.
- 22:47Speaker 4: But the problem is this is the same story all
- 22:50Speaker 4: the time. All the time.
- 22:51Speaker 1: We hear this constantly. And yes, a couple of things.
- 22:55Speaker 4: First of all.
- 22:56Speaker 1: You were exactly right. What do you expect police to do?
- 22:59Speaker 1: But there's going to be people out there that say,
- 23:01Speaker 1: why did you have to shoot her? Why did you
- 23:03Speaker 1: have to kill her? Because they don't want to die.
- 23:05Speaker 1: It's self-defense at that point. Once she charges them, they
- 23:09Speaker 1: have no choice but to shoot her. You know, it
- 23:12Speaker 1: was the same exact thing that happened when those two
- 23:16Speaker 1: police officers... responded to a young adult that had mental
- 23:22Speaker 1: health issues that was threatening their own family.
- 23:25Speaker 4: You remember this?
- 23:27Speaker 1: And they went in and at a certain point he
- 23:29Speaker 1: had a knife and he was coming at them and
- 23:31Speaker 1: they shot. Now, luckily they didn't kill him. They just
- 23:34Speaker 1: wounded him. But of course, what else were they going
- 23:37Speaker 1: to do? They were attacked at that point. You have
- 23:40Speaker 1: to stop assuming every single time that.
- 23:44Speaker 4: The police are wrong.
- 23:45Speaker 1: Most police shootings are The vast majority are justified. But
- 23:51Speaker 1: because there's been a couple that didn't line up the
- 23:55Speaker 1: way they should have and because a couple of people
- 23:59Speaker 1: shot at somebody when they shouldn't have. You decide every
- 24:05Speaker 1: single time the police use a gun, there's something the matter.
- 24:08Speaker 1: There must be something off. There must be something wrong.
- 24:12Speaker 1: There must be something more they can do. Many times,
- 24:16Speaker 1: that is exactly what they're trained to do.
- 24:19Speaker 4: What I would go back, though, and look is at
- 24:21Speaker 4: the tasers.
- 24:22Speaker 5: I've seen situations where they've tasered a suspect that they
- 24:25Speaker 5: had surrounded, and it seems to enrage the suspect who
- 24:29Speaker 5: then lunges at them. That was clearly the case in
- 24:32Speaker 5: the case of this woman who lunged at them with
- 24:34Speaker 5: the knives out after they had told her to drop
- 24:37Speaker 5: the knives. I wonder if the tasers that they use
- 24:41Speaker 5: are powerful enough to knock a person down. I've certainly
- 24:44Speaker 5: seen tasers, when used appropriately, can knock down a guy
- 24:50Speaker 5: who's 6'8, 320 pounds. I'm just wondering if they're powerful enough.
- 24:55Speaker 1: Maybe, maybe that is the problem, but most of the
- 24:58Speaker 1: time that they work. There are a few people, there's
- 25:01Speaker 1: a few exceptions of people that can't work. A lot
- 25:03Speaker 1: of times when they're pumped up on adrenaline, they can
- 25:06Speaker 1: keep moving forward. I think the bigger thing is the
- 25:09Speaker 1: fact that they had to shoot her. They had no
- 25:13Speaker 1: other choice. And you're right, I just can't believe there's
- 25:17Speaker 1: anybody out there saying, why would they have to shoot
- 25:20Speaker 1: this woman? Because there's just so many people out there
- 25:24Speaker 1: that immediately say, it's anti-police. It's, oh, the police did
- 25:27Speaker 1: the wrong thing. Oh, every time there's a police shooting, it's,
- 25:31Speaker 1: oh my God, look, they did the wrong thing. No,
- 25:33Speaker 1: just go ahead. There's video of this and there's a
- 25:37Speaker 1: lot of descriptions of it. Just go ahead constantly and
- 25:41Speaker 1: look back at what she said and how she lunged
- 25:44Speaker 1: at them. And then please, please say, well, these police
- 25:48Speaker 1: officers may have been heroes because she already stabbed two
- 25:50Speaker 1: people killing one and she would have stabbed more.
- 25:53Speaker 5: You know, there are like three situations I run across
- 25:57Speaker 5: on a regular basis because I deal with the emotionally
- 25:59Speaker 5: disturbed all the time with the guardian angels. A, a
- 26:02Speaker 5: person who thinks people are putting implants in their head.
- 26:06Speaker 5: And we say, well, clearly they're mentally impaired. Others who
- 26:10Speaker 5: think that there are harmful laser beams being guided at them.
- 26:15Speaker 5: And then probably the one that triggers many violent actions
- 26:19Speaker 5: is People, if they do survive these situations, if they
- 26:23Speaker 5: are the people who are attacking indiscriminately, they'll claim that
- 26:27Speaker 5: they were commanded by hallucinations. They heard a voice that
- 26:31Speaker 5: commanded them to do something. And now we have to see,
- 26:35Speaker 5: was she on medication? Was she receiving treatment? Where was
- 26:38Speaker 5: she living? There's a whole background here that we have
- 26:41Speaker 5: to delve into because when I first started the Guardian
- 26:44Speaker 5: Angels in 1979, it was all gangs. The gangs were
- 26:47Speaker 5: the problem. Now, in almost every other case, it's an
- 26:50Speaker 5: emotionally disturbed person. Look, we were talking yesterday about that
- 26:54Speaker 5: woman was pushed into their tracks, an emotionally disturbed person.
- 26:57Speaker 5: Another guy pushed into the tracks, an emotionally disturbed person.
- 27:01Speaker 5: They live in the subways. They live in the streets.
- 27:03Speaker 5: They roam about. At any moment, they could be triggered off.
- 27:07Speaker 5: Do we even know who they are? Do we even
- 27:10Speaker 5: follow up on them or we just wait for this
- 27:12Speaker 5: explosion to take place? And then we start looking back
- 27:15Speaker 5: at their trace history and say, well, this should have
- 27:19Speaker 5: been done. This should have been done. I would say,
- 27:21Speaker 5: at least for right now, You just got to look
- 27:23Speaker 5: at that taser gun. Is it powerful enough to stop somebody?
- 27:27Speaker 6: Maybe.
- 27:27Speaker 1: I think what we have to look at is the
- 27:28Speaker 1: Supreme Court ruling, O'Connor versus Donaldson in 1975, that said
- 27:33Speaker 1: you can't take the dangerously mentally ill off the streets
- 27:37Speaker 1: against their will because obviously you should.
- 27:41Speaker 4: Now, I understand the ruling. I get it.
- 27:44Speaker 1: There was atrocities in some of the places that these
- 27:46Speaker 1: people were taken to. I understand that completely. but now
- 27:51Speaker 1: things have changed and people are dying and people are
- 27:55Speaker 1: getting killed at a regular basis on the street by
- 27:58Speaker 1: the mentally ill and the mentally ill end up killing,
- 28:01Speaker 1: you know, getting shot themselves, basically killing themselves through their actions.
- 28:06Speaker 1: So we need someone, we need somebody out there to
- 28:10Speaker 1: challenge this and come up with a new way of
- 28:13Speaker 1: challenging it so it can make its way up to
- 28:16Speaker 1: the Supreme court. And finally, We can help the people
- 28:20Speaker 1: that are mentally ill on the streets by taking them
- 28:22Speaker 1: off the streets, even against their own will, and certainly
- 28:26Speaker 1: the ones that are dangerous like this woman. When we
- 28:31Speaker 1: come back, well, it's Natalie Migliore time, and she's going
- 28:35Speaker 1: to talk with people about the thing that everybody is
- 28:38Speaker 1: talking about. And there's a couple of sides to this issue.
- 28:42Speaker 1: The Nancy Clancy trial, the woman.
- 28:44Speaker 4: That killed her. You mean Lindsay Clancy.
- 28:46Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 28:47Speaker 4: You're on this Nancy Grace thing for that telescope.
- 28:51Speaker 5: I told you it was the worst name you could
- 28:53Speaker 5: have ever possibly given.
- 28:54Speaker 4: To that telescope. You know what?
- 28:58Speaker 1: I was so trying to get the last name right,
- 29:01Speaker 1: I screwed up the first name. I was like, okay,
- 29:04Speaker 1: don't say Nancy Grace again. The Lindsay Clancy trial, by
- 29:09Speaker 1: the way, that's the woman that killed her own children.
- 29:12Speaker 1: Natalie Migliore coming up next.
- 29:16Speaker 5: Now, it's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
- 29:22Speaker 5: Natalie Migliore, I know you were down in the streets
- 29:27Speaker 5: soliciting comments on the Lindsay Clancy trial and deliberation of
- 29:32Speaker 5: the jury. What were the peeps saying out there?
- 29:35Speaker 11: Yeah, so today is day four of deliberations in the
- 29:38Speaker 11: Lindsay Clancy trial as jurors decided whether the former labor
- 29:42Speaker 11: and delivery nurse is criminally responsible for killing her three
- 29:45Speaker 11: children in their Massachusetts home before attempting to take her
- 29:49Speaker 11: own life a very serious issue and trial her attorney
- 29:55Speaker 11: Kevin Reddington says he never expected the case to get
- 29:58Speaker 11: this kind of attention and but it has worldwide actually
- 30:02Speaker 11: based on what I'm hearing in the streets. So are
- 30:05Speaker 11: people following the case?
- 30:07Speaker 12: I mean, I know what it is, but haven't been
- 30:09Speaker 12: following it.
- 30:09Speaker 7: Yeah, I've heard about it, but we're from New Zealand
- 30:12Speaker 7: and it's all over our news and all over social media.
- 30:15Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 30:16Speaker 3: On like social media?
- 30:17Speaker 7: Mostly on social media. And also like, I think I've
- 30:19Speaker 7: actively searched on it like one time. So mostly on
- 30:23Speaker 7: the internet.
- 30:23Speaker 18: I was actually watching it on Court TV, the live track.
- 30:27Speaker 12: Yeah, we had a dedicated watcher. watch the trial.
- 30:32Speaker 11: So speculation is swirling after the public had access to
- 30:35Speaker 11: several weeks worth of testimony and 300 exhibits to review,
- 30:40Speaker 11: including testimony from Clancy's ex-husband, who now lives in New
- 30:44Speaker 11: York City with his new wife, Patrick Clancy. Some say
- 30:48Speaker 11: Patrick did it. That's a lot of speculation on social media.
- 30:52Speaker 12: I know Larry and I have had it out.
- 30:56Speaker 11: But Lindsay has never disputed that she killed their children,
- 31:00Speaker 11: with her defense arguing she was in psychosis.
- 31:05Speaker 12: Bailey, who watched the trial, is invested.
- 31:08Speaker 18: I feel sorry for her, but I think most people
- 31:11Speaker 18: that murder people have mental problems, number one. But the method...
- 31:16Speaker 18: I'm looking at you in the eye right now. And
- 31:19Speaker 18: she was looking at her kids the same way I am,
- 31:23Speaker 18: but she wrapped a thing around. She was able to
- 31:27Speaker 18: complete three strangulations while looking into her children's face. I
- 31:32Speaker 18: don't think that psychosis, given all the evidence, the organization,
- 31:37Speaker 18: the planning, she knew the weapon, the calls. You know,
- 31:41Speaker 18: I listened to the child.
- 31:43Speaker 11: Now, people are closely monitoring what's happening online. for different
- 31:47Speaker 11: reasons too.
- 31:49Speaker 7: I work in healthcare, so this is something that really
- 31:51Speaker 7: interests me. And postpartum depression or depression for women with
- 31:57Speaker 7: growing up children, it's very common. And then I kind
- 32:01Speaker 7: of know someone, not really personally, but somebody who worked
- 32:05Speaker 7: also in healthcare. Something that you would never, never thought
- 32:08Speaker 7: that would happen to her. But she did also had
- 32:11Speaker 7: the same situation where she ended her life and also
- 32:15Speaker 7: her infant's life. It was like a total shocker for
- 32:17Speaker 7: everyone who knows about it.
- 32:19Speaker 11: So it's sort of a reality for people, especially this
- 32:22Speaker 11: healthcare worker who knew someone who was in his circle,
- 32:26Speaker 11: who sort of carried out the same act, okay? And
- 32:30Speaker 11: this case has become less about whodunit in a way
- 32:33Speaker 11: and more about what's being done regarding maternal mental health.
- 32:38Speaker 11: It has me asking people if they think we're doing
- 32:41Speaker 11: enough for postpartum mothers.
- 32:43Speaker 1: Well, I think if this happens, we aren't doing enough.
- 32:45Speaker 7: I think in terms of accessibility to mental health services,
- 32:50Speaker 7: it's not really that extensive yet because apparently we're hearing
- 32:53Speaker 7: cases that are happening all over the state.
- 32:55Speaker 4: So I think we can do better on this. I
- 32:57Speaker 4: don't think in any case we're doing enough for mental
- 33:00Speaker 4: health issues.
- 33:02Speaker 12: So that's sort of where it is. People are, the
- 33:05Speaker 12: people who are paying attention to it are very, really
- 33:09Speaker 12: paying attention to it.
- 33:10Speaker 11: Larry and Curtis, Natalie, you know that I've been pretty
- 33:13Speaker 11: much into it, but I've fallen onto the conspiracy theory
- 33:17Speaker 11: side of Instagram.
- 33:19Speaker 12: So I get a lot of.
- 33:20Speaker 11: Different sort of information with people claiming, people claiming, you know,
- 33:26Speaker 11: that they're not necessarily on Patrick Clancy's side. He wasn't,
- 33:31Speaker 11: his testimony is sort of out of whack with other
- 33:33Speaker 11: testimony that's been given. But I know, Larry, you feel
- 33:37Speaker 11: passionately that this is going to be a guilty verdict
- 33:40Speaker 11: in terms of Lindsay Clancy and that she did it.
- 33:44Speaker 1: I don't know if it's going to be a guilty verdict,
- 33:46Speaker 1: but I hope it is. I mean, if the world
- 33:49Speaker 1: is fair, those three little children deserve some type of
- 33:54Speaker 1: justice for what happened to them from their own mother. Look,
- 33:57Speaker 1: as far as her husband goes, yeah, I don't think
- 34:00Speaker 1: he's a good human being. I don't think, I think
- 34:03Speaker 1: they had a bad marriage. I think he was probably
- 34:05Speaker 1: seeing somebody else. I get all of that. But I
- 34:09Speaker 1: don't think he did it. I think it's pretty obvious
- 34:11Speaker 1: who did it. Right.
- 34:12Speaker 5: Well, she's admitted it. Her defense counsel has admitted it.
- 34:16Speaker 5: But why did this guy get married four months after?
- 34:19Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 34:20Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Just because he's a despicable human being,
- 34:24Speaker 1: he's not a murderer.
- 34:25Speaker 4: You know what I mean? She is.
- 34:27Speaker 1: She is a murderer. She's admitted to it. And now
- 34:30Speaker 1: she's trying to get away with it by saying, no,
- 34:33Speaker 1: I had postpartum depression.
- 34:35Speaker 4: I don't care.
- 34:36Speaker 3: But four days?
- 34:36Speaker 4: I don't care. Killed three.
- 34:38Speaker 12: Four days of deliberation. Don't you find that surprising?
- 34:42Speaker 4: I do. I do.
- 34:43Speaker 1: And I think what they're, you know, it's some of them.
- 34:46Speaker 1: I hope most of them are life in prison without parole.
- 34:50Speaker 1: And there's obviously one or two there. And I hope
- 34:53Speaker 1: it's only one or two. I don't know what's going
- 34:54Speaker 1: on there that are saying, no, no, no. You know,
- 34:57Speaker 1: it's postmortem depression. Let's do this. And going with a
- 35:01Speaker 1: lesser charge. So obviously the both sides aren't giving in.
- 35:06Speaker 3: Right.
- 35:06Speaker 11: Well, as we wrap up, just know there is a
- 35:08Speaker 11: National Maternal Mental Health Hotline that can be reached at 1-833-TLC-MAMA, M-A-M-A,
- 35:14Speaker 11: just so people know.
- 35:15Speaker 1: Natalie Migliore is going to be back tomorrow at 7.50,
- 35:18Speaker 1: Trump Data Centers, after the 8 o'clock news.
