• 0:12
  Speaker 1: three hours now, 9 to noon on 710WOR. Well, the U.N.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: General Assembly, this is the big day. President Trump speaks
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: today at the U.N. Melania Trump also speaking today at
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the U.N., With the U.N. General Assembly taking place, these
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: world leaders all over the place, and the president in
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: town at the same time, it's the biggest gridlock nightmare
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: all year in Manhattan. It's total, complete gridlock around Trump Tower,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: around the U.N. And these world leaders are staying at
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: all the different hotels, the Pierre, the Four Seasons, the St. Regis,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the Waldorf. So it causes traffic problems everywhere. And if
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: you've been trying, if you yesterday saw Trump Tower, It
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: is surrounded by garbage trucks. They've lined up millions of
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: garbage trucks as a barrier in case of a car
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: bomb or something like that. And then they've got the
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: streets closed all around Trump Tower. Police, Secret Service everywhere.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: And if you're walking by certain hotels in Manhattan, you're
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: going to see all these black SUVs, not just regular ones,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Chevy Suburbans, but they're all fixed up. They've got special
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: antennas on the roof. And they all got Virginia and
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Maryland license plates. These are all the federal cars, Secret
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Service cars, that sort of stuff, all over New York City. UN,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: all the delegates here, UN General Assembly, you cannot get
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a hooker right now in New York. They're all busy
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: with the UN. They're all doing that right now. The
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: schedule the president has today, he speaks at the UN.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: By the way, they've got times on the schedule. They're
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: completely off schedule here, completely off the schedule. Uh, then
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the president goes to a meeting with, uh, the prime
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: minister of Denmark, the prime minister of Greenland, and that's
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: where they sign the agreement. We will have total control
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: of Greenland forever. It's permanent. Uh, it's a very, very, very,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: very important, uh, strategic place for us militarily and to
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: protect the, uh, United States from a missile attack and
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: all of that. So that will do the signing. Then
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: he goes from that to a meeting with, uh, the
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: British prime minister, Burgum, who can't stand him, who hates him,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: really hates him. And it's not like a mom Donnie
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: thing where they have a hate, love, love, hate relationship.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: This is a, Hey, so he's got to meet with
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: this guy. Then he goes from that to meeting with
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the prime minister of Japan. Sounds like a lot of fun. Uh,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: then after that, he goes to a, they don't call
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: it a meeting. They call it a bilateral meeting with
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the president of Ukraine, Zelensky. Now that's going to be
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: interesting meeting because, um, Remember the first time around, Zelensky
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: sat there like a little stooge with the president slapping
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: him around in front of all the press. You can
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: act like a man, you know, like you're just smacking him.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And it's different now because Zelensky, give him credit, he
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: built the best drone factories, missile factories in the world.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: He's now making the biggest and best drones on earth
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: by the thousands. He's making unbelievable missiles there. He's got
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: missiles everywhere. that can go thousands of miles farther than
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: our missiles, and he's building them cheaper. So we are
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: going to be turning to him to get weapons now.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: We're going to be restocking and depending on him for weapons.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: So he's got the Zelensky meeting. Then he goes to
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the Shield of the Americas event. Who knows what the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: hell that is, this UN committee. Then there's a multilateral
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: meeting with the Gulf Cooperation Council. This is what they
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: do at the UN. They create all these committees and panels,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and nobody knows what the hell they do. Then about 3.30,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: he gets a break. He goes back to Trump Tower
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: for an hour or two. And this is the first
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: time he's been in Trump Tower. Last night he stayed there.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: First time in a year and a half that he
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: has stayed in Trump Tower. It's kind of small and
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: tiny compared to where he lives now or Mar-a-Lago. But
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: it has tremendous sentimental value. And he's got that office
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: that he spent. 35 years in every day. I'm sure
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: he goes to look at that office. Although, you know,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: he's not a sentimental guy. I always have pictures of
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: guys we knew or places we used to go. And
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: every time I'd show him to him, I'd say, hey,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: remember this? He'd go, uh-huh. Yeah, one second. Then he'd be,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: guys like that, they don't look backwards. They only look forwards.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: So then about 7.15 tonight, he goes to the Palace Hotel.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: That's 50th and Madison. That's the hotel right behind St.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Patrick's Cathedral. And that's where they have the UN General
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Assembly leaders reception. This sounds like about the most boring
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: thing you could ever go to. And that's basically, I
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: actually ducks out of there. You can tell it's boring.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: He only gave it like 20 minutes on the schedule.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Then at 7.40, he's to meet with the acting president
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: of Venezuela, And that should go till 740, till about 830.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: And then 830 heads to the airport and gets the
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: hell out of here. And that'll help ease the traffic
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: a little with the president leaving town. Netanyahu comes in Thursday.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: The president expected to tell off the UN today and
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: urge them to do something about the UN. It's an
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: absolute useless mess of an organization. Gets absolutely nothing done.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Nobody can tell you what the hell the UN does.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: And as Liz Peek reported to us last hour, the
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: UN budget is $ 4 billion a year. But they spend
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: $ 70 billion a year. They just waste money like crazy
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: all over the world. All they do is waste money.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: They're in tremendous financial trouble. The whole thing is a
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: financial disaster, the UN. Have you ever been in the building,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the UN building? It is the dumpiest building you've ever seen.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: It is the dumpiest, most awful building inside. It was
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: built in like 1950-something, and they've never done a thing
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: about it since. Everything in there is like, it's like
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: you're in an antique shop, but a bad one. It's
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: just old 1960s walls and furniture. It's just as crappy
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: as can be. Totally, totally decaying in there. So this
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: UN thing goes on all week with the world leaders.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: As I say, Netanyahu on Thursday, that'll cause a tremendous
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: security problems. Mamdani threatening to arrest him all over again,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: which is great because he has absolutely no power to
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: arrest him. And he's not been accused of anything ever
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: by any legitimate court. Well, in Israel, some corruption stuff, accusations.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: But this international criminal court isn't real. It's not an
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: actual court. It has no authority over anything. The U.S.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: not only doesn't recognize it, the U.S. government has actively
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: been trying to shut it down and sanction it for
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years just to get it to
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: go away. It's just a fake thing created by a
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: bunch of mom Donnie's all over the world. Mom Donnie
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: meets with the president. He talked about affordability and that's
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: what mom Donnie does best. Talk about affordability, doing something
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: about it. Well, not so hot, but talking about it.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: He's great doing something about it. He hasn't got a clue.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: He doesn't know what to do about it. So, Now,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: why did Trump meet with Mamdani? Hey, well, ask Bill O'Reilly.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: He'll be with us later because he's been theorizing. It
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: might be to help Bruce Blakeman a little because Bruce
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Blakeman is doing very well. He's pretty much tied with
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Kathy Hochul right now and probably on track to beat her.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: So she's been running these attack ads. If you're watching television,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: you see them all over the place about how Bruce
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Blakeman is so close to Trump and he's MAGA and
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: he's 100% MAGA and they show clips of. Blakeman praising
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Look how awful he is with Donald Trump.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: He's too close to Donald Trump. They're terrible attack ads.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: But if you're a Blakeman fan, as most of us are,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: take it as a compliment. When you see him running
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: attack ads and that many of them every day, spending
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: that much money on those attack ads, it means they're scared.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: It means they've looked at their internal polling and they're
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: very scared. So as long as you see all those
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: vicious attack ads, it means Blakeman is doing very, very well.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: So because they're trying to tie him so much to Trump.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: That could be one of the reasons Trump met with
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Mamdani because she's trying to make Trump the total enemy.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: But as long as he's smiling and arm in arm
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: with Mamdani, it doesn't seem like such an enemy anymore.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: And it's an interesting relationship because it's kind of, I mean,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Mamdani claims to hate Donald Trump. I don't think he
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: really does. I think he kind of admires Trump. I
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: think when they're alone, he kind of tries to learn
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: from Trump. Because Mamdani's an ambitious guy, very ambitious guy.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Never had a job in his life. Give him credit.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: He goes from never having a job to being mayor
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: of New York. And he'd like to do what Trump did.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: He'd like to go all the way up the ladder. Now,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: he wasn't born in this country. He can't actually be president.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: But he could be something. So I think he admires Trump's...
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: skill at advancing in the world. So he's trying to
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: get some of that to rub off on him. And
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I think Trump, he always thinks he can win somebody over.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: He always thinks that he's the most charming, incredible salesman
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: in the world. Sometimes he is, sometimes he isn't. But
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I think he thinks he can win Mom Downey over
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: or maybe push him in the right direction. It's a
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: good thing, actually. He's like a mentor or father-son kind of.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: trying to guide this guy to the right path. And
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: you never know. Maybe, maybe he'll pull it off. Uh,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: hey you know those flock cameras are all over the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: place these flock cameras these surveillance cameras license plate readers
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: and video and they keep an eye on they're all
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: over the place there's millions of these flock cameras and
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: if somebody wants to go into the flock system they
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: can see exactly where you were they can See you
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: driving all over the place. And the problem is everybody's
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: searching these things. Cops. For instance, just take Long Island.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Just take Long Island. 3,000 manual searches in one month.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: 3,000 searches in one month. Now, that can't be all
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: crimes being investigated. You know, if somebody wants to look
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: and see where their girlfriend is or what their wife
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: is up to or their husband is up, something like that.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: But 3,000 searches. through flock cameras just in Long Island
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: in one month. Now, Long Island, there's over 700 flock cameras.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: They go all the way from the Queens border to Montauk,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: thousands more throughout the five boroughs. There's a D-Flock, that's
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: an activist group, tracking the company's surveillance. Some people want
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: this gone. But if you're not doing anything wrong, what's
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the difference? A former Nassau prosecutor, who's now a defense attorney,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: points out the state currently has no laws governing How
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: long that data can be kept, who can access it,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: or how misuse would be caught. So that's a problem. Now,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: 60 cops, 6-0, 60 cops have been arrested for misusing
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: the flock data. Just 18 in Georgia this summer alone,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: including a police supervisor who used the camera system to
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: track her boyfriend. You see, you got to worry about this.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: But on the other hand, you know, you get one
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: of those Apple AirTags. They're like the size of a quarter.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: And if you've got a girlfriend or boyfriend, you just
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: hide one under her seat in the car, throw it
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: in their trunk, put it under their seat, whatever. And
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: that way, you can look on your phone, you can
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: see where they are at any time. So there's all,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, the flock cameras are one thing, but there's
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: all kinds of technology like that. Some Brooklyn Democratic Party
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: bigwigs getting a little flack because they were raising $ 200, 000
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: in campaign donations. from people that wanted to be judges.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: You know, a lot of times these judges and judicial
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: candidates buy the nomination. Yeah, $ 50, 000 and you can become
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: a judge. You give it to the right party leader
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: and you get nominated. You know, if it's in a
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: district where that party always wins, you're the judge. Former
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Brooklyn Party Chairman Frank Cedio, current chair Rodney's, whatever his
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: name is here, have collected 190,000 contributions and payments from
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: more than 90 judges and judicial candidates since 2012. So
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: there's a lot. I don't know why you'd want to
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: be a judge. You know, a lot of these guys
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: used to work in a big law firm. You know,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: when you work in a big law firm, it's like
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: right over there in one of those beautiful skyscrapers. You
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: have a luxurious office. You get paid a couple million
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: a year working in this law firm. It's great. And,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, the work's not so much fun, but it's great.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: They've got all the beautiful offices. the greatest food, the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: greatest this, the greatest beautiful conference room. Then you become
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: a judge. You're sitting in this dumpy, dumpy courthouse all day.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's really a dump down there. There's a
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: crummy cafeteria. So I asked them, why? Why did you
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: give up the law firm? Well, in the law firm,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: you're working there with 2,000 other people. But when you
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: become the judge, you're the king. You're the absolute king
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: in that courtroom. Everybody has to do what you say.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: So some people prefer that. And a lot of times,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: these guys make a fortune in the law firms, don't
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: need to work anymore. That crazy Meghan Markle and Harry,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: they moved to England now, got totally wiped out here,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: looking for something to do. Now, when they have to
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: fill out a form and it says occupation, what the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: hell do these two put down? I have no idea,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: but they don't know what the hell to do with themselves.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: They're looking for attention, trying to get publicity every day.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: So Meghan Markle spotted for the first time out out
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: in public in the UK, chatting at a bar with
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: fellow expat Ellen DeGeneres at a pub. The two of them,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Ellen DeGeneres, who left the U.S. Was it over Trump
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: or something? I don't know why. She got mad at
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Trump or something and left. Meghan Markle, totally wiped out,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: totally unable to find any work in the U.S. So
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: the two of them sitting together in the pub with
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Ellen's wife, Portia, So the three of them, and they're lucky,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: these three people. They don't need an alarm clock, no
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: reason to get up in the morning. They can sit
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: in the pub. They don't have to have a watch.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: They don't need to know what time it is. They
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: got nothing to do and no place to go. So
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: what would be the point? Hey, we'll take some calls next.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: 800-321-0710 is the number. 800-321-0710.
