Hour 2: Trump Visits Nassau County · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: So Larry.
0:00
Speaker 2: When we left his studios on Friday, we were awaiting
0:04
Speaker 2: the arrival of President Donald Trump to Nassau County to
0:07
Speaker 2: the Police Academy there to be joined by Gubernhl, gubernatorial
0:12
Speaker 2: candidate Bruce Blakeman, the Nassau County Executive, and members of
0:16
Speaker 2: law enforcement and supporters of Blakeman's candidacy. It was a
0:22
Speaker 2: huge gathering and it was great because law enforcement in
0:27
Speaker 2: Nasau County has done an outstanding job, so much so
0:31
Speaker 2: it is now the safest county in all of America.
0:34
Speaker 2: And in that campaign that I recently was in from Ayre,
0:38
Speaker 2: I remember being on the far rockaway side, right across
0:41
Speaker 2: five Towns, which is where the Nashau County starts and
0:46
Speaker 2: Bayswater is an Orthodox Jewish community, and I was saying,
0:49
Speaker 2: you know, we walked across the expressway there. Yeah, no
0:52
Speaker 2: shots fired, no robberies. It's safe. It's secure. Yet here
0:56
Speaker 2: in Bayswater you gotta watch your back, and it is true.
1:00
Speaker 2: So it's great that the President came to acknowledge law enforcement,
1:04
Speaker 2: acknowledge the police department's effort, and obviously Nasville County Executive
1:10
Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman, who has overseen this, and the question here,
1:15
Speaker 2: Larry is will this be a boost for Blakeman as
1:18
Speaker 2: he is now going to be in the stretch run
1:20
Speaker 2: right after Labor Day he's ten points behind in the
1:24
Speaker 2: most recent polar Kathy Hokol Or will it end up
1:29
Speaker 2: being a hinderance? But there were other things that the
1:33
Speaker 2: President commented on. In fact, he was talking about the
1:38
Speaker 2: straits of her moves, although he has a.
1:40
Speaker 1: Unique way of what can we say announcing it?
1:46
Speaker 3: Raising things.
1:47
Speaker 4: Yes, after we finish defeating Iran, which is being very
1:54
Speaker 4: badly defeated, pretty soon, I'll be declaring the hornor I'm
2:00
Speaker 4: most straight a territory of the United States. Shode say
2:05
Speaker 4: that we have the blockade, no ships get through unless we.
2:09
Speaker 1: Want them to.
2:11
Speaker 2: Well, the blockade is true, that's blocking ships. But I
2:14
Speaker 2: don't think anybody in the United States wants the straits
2:17
Speaker 2: of her moves to be territory of the United States.
2:21
Speaker 2: My god, we'll never get out of there. But that's
2:25
Speaker 2: Trump being Trump. And then the other thing was him
2:29
Speaker 2: and this is where I think he needs to get
2:34
Speaker 2: brownie points. He was talking about how if your intent
2:39
Speaker 2: as we are to remove the nuclear weapons ability of
2:43
Speaker 2: Iran and Americans just going to have to accept higher
2:47
Speaker 2: gas prices.
2:49
Speaker 5: For you to pay a tiny little bit more for
2:51
Speaker 5: your gasoline. Just remember you're doing it so that a
2:55
Speaker 5: very evil country cannot have a country. Really, it's the
2:58
Speaker 5: number one state's sponsor of terror in the world. We
3:02
Speaker 5: don't want to have them have a nuclear weapon. So
3:04
Speaker 5: remember that when you have to pay a little bit more,
3:07
Speaker 5: you're at four dollars, it's okay.
3:09
Speaker 3: It's okay. I don't think he's I mean, I hope
3:13
Speaker 3: he doesn't. I don't think he's talking about forever. I
3:15
Speaker 3: think he's saying, right now, stop whining, stop whining. We
3:20
Speaker 3: have to do this. In his mind, we have to
3:23
Speaker 3: get this done. It is an existential threat to democracy
3:26
Speaker 3: and the world, and we need to get this done now.
3:30
Speaker 3: So if not now, when they've been talking about this
3:33
Speaker 3: for forty years.
3:34
Speaker 1: I know. But he never really sold it to the
3:36
Speaker 1: American people.
3:38
Speaker 2: He just went in and did it with Israel, and
3:40
Speaker 2: it didn't turn out as we had hoped it would
3:43
Speaker 2: mean in the United States. So when you sit down,
3:46
Speaker 2: I sat down with Nancy yesterday, right we figured out
3:49
Speaker 2: our bills for the week. I think most families do that.
3:52
Speaker 2: Whether you're living with a partner or you're a single family,
3:56
Speaker 2: you know, trying to make hands meet, and you start
3:59
Speaker 2: looking at the bill and you can't avoid it. The
4:01
Speaker 2: groceries and the gas. Obviously, groceries are depending on diesel
4:06
Speaker 2: fuel a lot of times. If diesel fuel is up
4:08
Speaker 2: to transport them, prices are up, and so after a
4:11
Speaker 2: while it begins to wear on you. I think an
4:14
Speaker 2: average family now is spending two hundred and fifty dollars
4:18
Speaker 2: more every month.
4:19
Speaker 1: Now, we may say, well that's not too much.
4:21
Speaker 2: What it is because people live from paycheck to paycheck.
4:27
Speaker 2: They partitioned the money they have out there. Do we
4:30
Speaker 2: have Natalie on boarders? Natalie with us right now? No,
4:34
Speaker 2: Natalie's not there right now?
4:35
Speaker 3: Yawn here, I shouldn't see you. I looked and I
4:37
Speaker 3: just saw it empty. I saw it empty little bucks.
4:43
Speaker 2: I want to ask you a question, because you got
4:45
Speaker 2: kids in school, like Larry has kids in school, like
4:48
Speaker 2: I have kids in school, do you sit down with
4:51
Speaker 2: your husband and maybe once a week try to figure
4:53
Speaker 2: out the family budget account?
4:56
Speaker 1: I should I hate this conversation.
5:00
Speaker 3: I'd stand this conversation because you don't either, right, No,
5:03
Speaker 3: because inflation's three point four percent. I know, at three
5:07
Speaker 3: point four percent, all the economic figures are really good,
5:10
Speaker 3: but we keep getting hit with the fact that gas
5:13
Speaker 3: is up. There's no question gases up. Some of the
5:15
Speaker 3: gas prices are up, summer down. And so all we
5:19
Speaker 3: hear from the media constantly is, oh my god, it's
5:22
Speaker 3: horrible out there. Look at the prices. Look, it's just
5:25
Speaker 3: awful out there. The prices are up, yes, but inflation
5:30
Speaker 3: at three point four percent is minimal compared to what
5:34
Speaker 3: we went through under Joe Biden, and we didn't get
5:37
Speaker 3: the same We never got the same thing.
5:39
Speaker 2: From nobody's thinking Joe Biden anymore. But they should remember,
5:43
Speaker 2: they should remember Trump. One of the reasons he got
5:46
Speaker 2: re elected into office was he said he was going
5:50
Speaker 2: to lower the prices. And other than eggs and a
5:52
Speaker 2: few other commodities, he really has.
5:54
Speaker 3: But inflation. First of all, you never want inflation. You
5:58
Speaker 3: don't want deflation. You don't ever want to good go down.
6:01
Speaker 3: You don't. You just don't want that. If you say
6:03
Speaker 3: that again, you don't want the prices to go down.
6:06
Speaker 3: You don't. If you get deflation, that kills your economy.
6:09
Speaker 3: Do you understand that? Look up deflation.
6:12
Speaker 2: Favorite an average American sitting at their table figuring it
6:18
Speaker 2: out their budget for the week would be listening to
6:21
Speaker 2: Larry meant to say, you don't want prices to go down.
6:26
Speaker 2: It's the truth, you think, but that's the truth.
6:30
Speaker 3: Talk to an economist if you never want overall prices
6:34
Speaker 3: to go the wrong way, because what you want is
6:39
Speaker 3: your earnings to go up faster than inflation, which is
6:42
Speaker 3: what is happening right now.
6:45
Speaker 1: It is it is.
6:46
Speaker 3: It is amazing to me that the economic figures are
6:49
Speaker 3: nowhere near now. Look at gas prices should come down,
6:52
Speaker 3: and gas prices, your right affect other prices. But what's
6:56
Speaker 3: amazing is you hear all of this stuff. Oh my god,
6:58
Speaker 3: look how bad it is. Look at the gas prices,
7:00
Speaker 3: Look how they're going to affect everything. And then you
7:02
Speaker 3: look at the inflation rate and you go, well, that's
7:05
Speaker 3: not that.
7:05
Speaker 2: Bad, Larry. I don't know of any family out there.
7:08
Speaker 2: It's just oh, the inflation rate. Now they say, were
7:11
Speaker 2: we going to come up with two hundred and fifty
7:13
Speaker 2: dollars at the end of the month to make up
7:15
Speaker 2: for the increased course?
7:16
Speaker 6: Right?
7:16
Speaker 3: How much have you been paying over last month?
7:18
Speaker 6: Is it?
7:18
Speaker 3: Is it substantially more.
7:20
Speaker 7: It's not.
7:21
Speaker 3: It is not. It's not substantially more gas is.
7:25
Speaker 2: You would you suggest that the polls are wrong, then
7:28
Speaker 2: that affordab war.
7:33
Speaker 3: Come on, Larry, you're just married to polls. Of course,
7:36
Speaker 3: the Poles are going to say that because they're told
7:38
Speaker 3: that constantly by you and others that oh my god,
7:41
Speaker 3: this is the worst we've ever had. Oh my god,
7:43
Speaker 3: the prices are just through the roof. I've said, I
7:46
Speaker 3: admit the gas prices are up, but the inflation is not.
7:51
Speaker 3: Inflation's not up yet.
7:52
Speaker 2: Huh.
7:53
Speaker 3: Acknowledge overall prese the people. So forget the polls for
7:56
Speaker 3: a second, because the polls are run by public opinion,
7:58
Speaker 3: which is run by the media. Just forget the polls
8:01
Speaker 3: for a second. Look at the statistics. And the statistics
8:04
Speaker 3: don't show what people say they're feeling.
8:07
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what.
8:08
Speaker 2: Tell Republicans to run on statistics, and they're going to
8:10
Speaker 2: lose the midterms, definitely going to lose.
8:12
Speaker 3: How long does the media and you keep saying are republicans?
8:15
Speaker 2: There are Republicans who are asking the president, please, you
8:20
Speaker 2: have to start talking about affordability, cost the living, and
8:23
Speaker 2: how you're going to get us out of it right.
8:25
Speaker 1: This is coming from Republicans.
8:27
Speaker 3: Talking about it's different than looking at the overall statistics. Yeah,
8:31
Speaker 3: he should be, he should be. He should be telling
8:33
Speaker 3: his story. The problem is they've been trying to over
8:37
Speaker 3: and over again. They go through the economic numbers, they
8:39
Speaker 3: go through the increase in manufacturing, they go through the
8:42
Speaker 3: fact that salaries have gone up significantly, they go through
8:46
Speaker 3: that you're paying lesson taxes. They go through all of that.
8:49
Speaker 3: Nobody listens, and certainly the media doesn't grab onto that.
8:53
Speaker 2: The thing that they have going for them is that
8:56
Speaker 2: the Republicans have latched on to saying Americans don't want
9:00
Speaker 2: on communism with socialism, and he brought that up at
9:04
Speaker 2: this rally, which is what Blakeman is using against HOCl
9:08
Speaker 2: since he's married to Zorhan Mandami, and obviously Blakeman is
9:12
Speaker 2: a prime time supporter of Trump.
9:14
Speaker 5: They want to defund the police.
9:17
Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen.
9:18
Speaker 3: That's not gonna happen.
9:20
Speaker 1: We see them all the time.
9:23
Speaker 5: They said they're social democrats.
9:25
Speaker 3: Doesn't sound pretty. They're actually communists, but we'll get into
9:28
Speaker 3: that a little bit later. They're not gonna win. They're
9:31
Speaker 3: not gonna win anything. They got some very unattractive candidates.
9:34
Speaker 3: I have to say, uh yeah. I will tell you this.
9:37
Speaker 3: It's the one thing right now that the Republicans are
9:42
Speaker 3: grabbing onto because if we go to the polls that
9:44
Speaker 3: you were just talking about a second ago, socialism DSA,
9:50
Speaker 3: they are poisoned when it comes to independent voters and
9:53
Speaker 3: Republican voters. Not so much with Democrats over fifty percent
9:56
Speaker 3: like it, but with Republican voters and independent voters, that's
10:00
Speaker 3: where it comes to. I'll tell you what. Here's the
10:03
Speaker 3: thing with the midterms coming up, it's who's going to
10:06
Speaker 3: get their base out, who's going to get their voters out?
10:09
Speaker 3: And right now the energy is with the Democrats because
10:13
Speaker 3: they can't stand Trump and they feel like they can win.
10:17
Speaker 3: And the DSA like them or don't like them, they
10:21
Speaker 3: do have energy and they can get vote out. So
10:24
Speaker 3: what we need is for the other side to be
10:27
Speaker 3: just as motivated and to be able to get their
10:29
Speaker 3: vote out. And so socialism is the way the Republicans
10:32
Speaker 3: are using right now.
10:33
Speaker 2: The boogeyman, Well, the best campaign and for the Republicans
10:37
Speaker 2: are not the individual candidates who have to really focus
10:40
Speaker 2: on a lot of local issues that the president does not,
10:43
Speaker 2: because all elections sometimes come down to local issues. Like
10:47
Speaker 2: you see Mike Lowla who's running for his life in
10:50
Speaker 2: Rockland and West Jesse. He wants Indian Point to be
10:53
Speaker 2: repowered up. His Democratic opponent says, no, that's a local
10:58
Speaker 2: issue for him.
10:58
Speaker 1: That's important.
10:59
Speaker 2: But if the president, who is the best campaigner for
11:02
Speaker 2: the Republicans, would to get out and start traveling the country,
11:06
Speaker 2: that would make a big difference in energizing the base,
11:09
Speaker 2: because I don't think the average Republicans have the ability
11:12
Speaker 2: that the President of the United States has. Not only
11:15
Speaker 2: would MAGA, but Republicans in general.
11:18
Speaker 3: So what happens when you have two flights that have
11:22
Speaker 3: the exact same number twenty four eighty two coming into
11:27
Speaker 3: an airport and you don't know which one to talk
11:29
Speaker 3: to when you're the air traffic controller.
11:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, how do I know which flight to
11:33
Speaker 1: get on?
11:34
Speaker 2: Right?
11:34
Speaker 1: If they both numbered?
11:35
Speaker 3: The shame it's a maz well the destination, I would hope.
11:38
Speaker 3: But this is what an air traffic controller dealt with
11:43
Speaker 3: in Phoenix, And so many times we're demonizing the air
11:47
Speaker 3: traffic controllers, are talking bad about them because we only
11:49
Speaker 3: talk about them when there's a mishap. This guy saved lives.
11:54
Speaker 3: We'll let you hear it. Coming up next, plus a
11:57
Speaker 3: chance to see Journey at age twenty five Up next.
12:00
Speaker 2: O Man for Democrats, Republicans, independence out there. There's one
12:05
Speaker 2: thing you all share in common. Your phones are going
12:08
Speaker 2: off morning, noon to night.
12:09
Speaker 1: Now.
12:09
Speaker 2: Typically as you approach elections, it's a lot of pollsters
12:14
Speaker 2: and a lot of the candidates sending you texts and
12:17
Speaker 2: phone calls to try.
12:18
Speaker 1: To get your vote out.
12:20
Speaker 2: But there are a lot of other people who are
12:21
Speaker 2: doing that twenty four to seven, three sixty five, and
12:23
Speaker 2: they have no interest in your vote. They just have
12:27
Speaker 2: your personal information. And you're wondering, well, I'm getting all
12:30
Speaker 2: these scam calls, these spam calls, Why.
12:33
Speaker 1: How did they get my personal information?
12:36
Speaker 2: Because there are data brokers out who are selling you
12:38
Speaker 2: personal information like it's on clear and sale and guess what,
12:41
Speaker 2: it's legal. Your phone number, your home address, your email,
12:45
Speaker 2: your family members, your political affiliations.
12:48
Speaker 1: Even where you do your banking.
12:50
Speaker 2: And those scammeras are blowing up your phone. So maybe
12:53
Speaker 2: most times they're not getting lucky. But the older the
12:56
Speaker 2: people are, you know, them more likely to respond and
13:00
Speaker 2: and get in trapped. That's why you need to put
13:02
Speaker 2: up a firewall the way I have. Get a pad
13:04
Speaker 2: and pen to write it down. It's called Incogniti in
13:08
Speaker 2: cog Ni. It automatically removes your personal information from hundreds
13:13
Speaker 2: of data brokers in people's search sites. Incogniti sends the
13:17
Speaker 2: legal removal request, but they follow it up and play
13:20
Speaker 2: whack a mole, so if that information doesn't get off,
13:24
Speaker 2: they put the pressure and make sure it's scrub from
13:27
Speaker 2: their lists. If scammers can't find you, they can't target you.
13:30
Speaker 2: If spammers can't find you, they can't bother you. Go
13:33
Speaker 2: to incognit dot com slash curtis let your friends and
13:36
Speaker 2: relatives know, because you know they're being spammed, they're being texted,
13:41
Speaker 2: they're being bothered. Twenty four to seven three sixty five,
13:44
Speaker 2: save sixty percent when you sign up.
13:46
Speaker 1: That's I.
13:47
Speaker 2: Ncog ni dot com slash curtives all of us.
13:51
Speaker 3: Well we have a hero. You hear all these bad
13:53
Speaker 3: stories about air traffic controllers, but you forget that they
13:56
Speaker 3: save lives almost every day. And this one, wow, Well,
14:00
Speaker 3: you had two American Airline planes in Phoenix. One was arriving,
14:04
Speaker 3: the other was departing both at around midnight. They had
14:08
Speaker 3: the same call numbers. Not even sure how that could
14:11
Speaker 3: happen American flight twenty four eighty two, and the controller
14:16
Speaker 3: for the Phoenix Airport noticed one was descending at an
14:19
Speaker 3: attitude of about eleven thousand feet. The other was going
14:23
Speaker 3: up and was at about nine thousand feet. This would
14:26
Speaker 3: have been a collision.
14:27
Speaker 6: American twenty four eighty two. American twenty four eighty two.
14:31
Speaker 6: On the arrival. If you're on the arrival on Eagle,
14:34
Speaker 6: you know what somebody else has your America twenty four
14:38
Speaker 6: eighty two on the arrival, I need you to maintain
14:42
Speaker 6: one zero A thousand. You can see you one thousand
14:44
Speaker 6: for America twenty four eighty two.
14:46
Speaker 8: On the arrival.
14:47
Speaker 3: You can see he was thrown. He was absolutely thrown.
14:49
Speaker 3: He's never seen something like that before.
14:52
Speaker 6: I'm glad it all worked out.
14:53
Speaker 5: There.
14:54
Speaker 6: Could have could have been disastrous, but I'm glad it
14:56
Speaker 6: all worked out.
14:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, same frequently and point right.
14:59
Speaker 6: And it said that pretty crazy.
15:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, they luckily they got to laugh about it because,
15:04
Speaker 3: as he said to both of them, I have never
15:07
Speaker 3: seen that before. And your airline's got to work this out.
15:10
Speaker 3: This was American.
15:12
Speaker 6: That's the first time I've ever I've been working air
15:13
Speaker 6: driving for twenty five years. I've never seen the two
15:16
Speaker 6: aircraft pretty much verge with the same calls. And that's
15:19
Speaker 6: pretty incredible. Yeah, we're going to say good job, and
15:22
Speaker 6: you know, I've been buying a lot less than that.
15:24
Speaker 6: I've never seen that either.
15:25
Speaker 3: So nice work. Yeah, he's a hero. That guy is
15:28
Speaker 3: a hero because some people may not have caught that,
15:31
Speaker 3: you know, and that would have been thousands of.
15:36
Speaker 1: Yeah.
15:36
Speaker 2: By the way, it'd be interesting if there ever is
15:39
Speaker 2: a follow up. Was that human era or was this
15:43
Speaker 2: part of outsourcing this work to artificial intelligence?
15:48
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know, I have no idea. That's a
15:50
Speaker 3: good question. What there's gonna be a lot of people
15:53
Speaker 3: asking the question what to follow up on? How could
15:55
Speaker 3: that happen? I will say one was American, one was
15:58
Speaker 3: American Eagle. But that shouldn't that shouldn't dominate over giving
16:05
Speaker 3: a number to it, you know, because this could happen.
16:08
Speaker 3: I mean they were going to hit. They were going
16:11
Speaker 3: to hit, there's no question. And both of them were
16:13
Speaker 3: packed airlines and so man, the thousands of lives were saved.
16:18
Speaker 3: I hope he gets a commendation or a award or something,
16:21
Speaker 3: because that air traffic control or whose name we do
16:24
Speaker 3: not know at this point, is an absolute hero. Let's
16:27
Speaker 3: get some talkbacks. This is about flock.
16:30
Speaker 9: It really makes me sad to see all the opposition
16:32
Speaker 9: with flock cameras. I think they do much more good
16:36
Speaker 9: than harm. My best friend's father disappeared in the middle
16:42
Speaker 9: of the night in his car and the police were
16:48
Speaker 9: able to track him the whole way. He drove like
16:52
Speaker 9: three hours in one direction and then came right back,
16:55
Speaker 9: but they were able to figure that out. It been
16:57
Speaker 9: a tragedy.
16:58
Speaker 3: Otherwise, well, thanks for sharing that. That's so important to
17:02
Speaker 3: understand the importance of the flock cameras. You're right, and
17:06
Speaker 3: I think, Curtis, you're on the same You're in the
17:08
Speaker 3: safe wavelength that it just needs. It needs some tinkering,
17:12
Speaker 3: it needs some guardrails.
17:15
Speaker 6: Well, it all worked out there.
17:16
Speaker 3: It could have been it was the air traffic controller
17:20
Speaker 3: leaving a talk back.
17:21
Speaker 10: Good morning, gentlemen. Curtis, you're sounding very naive and not
17:25
Speaker 10: knowing anything about economics. If you have deflation, it's massive layoffs,
17:30
Speaker 10: it's depression, it's look at it, it's historical Larry is
17:34
Speaker 10: absolutely right.
17:36
Speaker 1: What you need to look at is how salaries.
17:38
Speaker 10: Have increased and income increases next to costs, that is
17:43
Speaker 10: through the roof under Trump, it's not even close.
17:46
Speaker 3: So the effectively the prices look less.
17:49
Speaker 2: Well, pal, you better take a look at Americans who
17:52
Speaker 2: was suffering depression at a kitchen table, because they're now
17:55
Speaker 2: paying two hundred and fifty dollars more for basic products
17:58
Speaker 2: than they were paying the year before. So think about that,
18:02
Speaker 2: the depression that American families are having. And it's bread
18:05
Speaker 2: and butter issues that generate the vote. It's the economy stupid.
18:10
Speaker 2: Who was it that said that, wasn't that James Carville
18:13
Speaker 2: on behalf of Miss c Yeah, yeah, James Carville.
18:17
Speaker 11: You know the old saying the toothpaste is out of
18:19
Speaker 11: the tube. Well, Joe Biden's inflation rates of over twenty
18:24
Speaker 11: percent during his term are indicative of that, because you
18:29
Speaker 11: can't roll those price increases from the past back and
18:34
Speaker 11: that's the biggest issue, and that's something that's just not
18:37
Speaker 11: communicated by anybody maybe until now.
18:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're absolutely right, but it's difficult to say that.
18:46
Speaker 3: Here's the mistake Donald Trump did make. I'll admit to this.
18:49
Speaker 3: He never should have said he can bring prices down.
18:52
Speaker 3: He can stabilize prices. He can't bring them down. What
18:54
Speaker 3: he did was make it so you could afford more
18:58
Speaker 3: things because salaries of going way up, taxes have gone
19:02
Speaker 3: way down, and so people have more money in their pocket.
19:05
Speaker 3: That's what he's got to tell people. It's not going
19:07
Speaker 3: to go through though, if the media just keeps pounding
19:10
Speaker 3: away at the prices. Now, let's get the Daria Albinger
19:13
Speaker 3: with the seven thirty news area.
19:15
Speaker 12: Mornny, guys, it's seventy two degrees right now. We have
19:17
Speaker 12: rain this morning. It will clear later today we'll see
19:20
Speaker 12: a high of eighty four degrees. If you are on
19:22
Speaker 12: the road, please take it slow this morning for the
19:24
Speaker 12: commute because the rain is making it tricky in some places.
19:27
Speaker 12: The city's flood emergency plan is in effect. That's a
19:29
Speaker 12: reminder that if you are in a flood prone place
19:32
Speaker 12: like a basement apartment, to make sure that you have
19:35
Speaker 12: a plan to evacuate.
19:36
Speaker 1: If need be.
19:37
Speaker 12: It could be a turning point in the US Arun War.
19:40
Speaker 13: A memorandum of understanding that was supposed to find a
19:43
Speaker 13: way to end the US Iran war expires today, there's
19:47
Speaker 13: little evidence that either side wants to extend the agreement.
19:51
Speaker 13: Both sides have accused the other of violating the terms
19:53
Speaker 13: of the deal multiple times.
19:55
Speaker 12: Michael Kassner, reporting, the head of Central Command, is now
19:58
Speaker 12: acknowledging that there are indeed mental health challenges on board
20:02
Speaker 12: the USS Abraham Lincoln after a sailor reportedly tried to
20:05
Speaker 12: jump overboard, but Admiral Brad Cooper also insists that the
20:09
Speaker 12: ship has the lowest number of reported mental health cases
20:13
Speaker 12: out of all eleven active aircraft carriers. The USS George
20:17
Speaker 12: Washington is on its way to the Middle East now
20:20
Speaker 12: to relieve the Lincoln. A New York Yankee legend has died,
20:23
Speaker 12: but it's what he did off the field which he'll
20:26
Speaker 12: be remembered for most.
20:28
Speaker 14: Tommy John's agent says he passed away at his home
20:30
Speaker 14: in Florida on Saturday, surrounded by family. The pitcher won
20:33
Speaker 14: more than two hundred and eighty eight games, but is
20:35
Speaker 14: best known for a groundbreaking elbow surgery. Tommy John suffered
20:39
Speaker 14: a torn ligaman in nineteen seventy four. He underwent an
20:42
Speaker 14: experimental elbow reconstruction procedure that allowed him to keep pitching
20:46
Speaker 14: what's known as Tommy John surgery now has saved the
20:49
Speaker 14: career for many other pitchers to come after him. Tommy
20:51
Speaker 14: John at two stints with the Yankees. I'm Scott Pringle, WRDWS.
20:55
Speaker 12: And the Bayone Bees are heading to the Little League

22:03
Speaker 2: Again, it's Warner Wolf the day after the passing of
22:08
Speaker 2: Tommy John, one of the great baseball pitchers of all time,
22:12
Speaker 2: and Warner right out the box. I just want to ask,
22:16
Speaker 2: how is it with this guy? Stellar record? He never
22:19
Speaker 2: made the Hall of Fame. Yes, hello, Warner. I think
22:26
Speaker 2: Warner has fallen into the abyss. So s Natalie, Why
22:33
Speaker 2: is it, Natalie with Tommy John stellar record?
22:36
Speaker 1: I remember him. He was pitching for the Chicago.
22:38
Speaker 2: I want to know the same.
22:40
Speaker 1: Honestly, Danny pitched.
22:42
Speaker 2: For the Dodgers, and I hated him when he was
22:44
Speaker 2: a white sock and Dodger, and then he became a
22:46
Speaker 2: Yankee and I loved him. And then he had that
22:49
Speaker 2: elbow surgery which was state of the art that it
22:52
Speaker 2: permitted so many other pitchers to continue their baseball career.
22:56
Speaker 2: But it all started with him. Cole on the Yankees
22:59
Speaker 2: now had to sit for the year. Generally, you shit
23:01
Speaker 2: for the year. But this guy's record was just outstanding.
23:06
Speaker 2: Twenty six seasons, he won two hundred and eighty eight games,
23:10
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty.
23:12
Speaker 1: Four after he had elbow surgery.
23:16
Speaker 2: And you say to yourself twice he finished for the
23:19
Speaker 2: cy Young both in the American League and National League
23:23
Speaker 2: as a Yankee and then as a Dodger. It's say,
23:26
Speaker 2: my god, what more do you have to do to
23:28
Speaker 2: gain to the Baseball Hall of Fame?
23:31
Speaker 3: Yeah? You mentioned the All Star four All Star selections.
23:33
Speaker 3: That's you know, it was incredible. And plus what he
23:38
Speaker 3: meant to the game by going through that surgery, that
23:41
Speaker 3: alone changed the game. I mean he was the first one,
23:45
Speaker 3: and he came back almost better than he was before
23:48
Speaker 3: the surgery. It was astounding, by the way. Not for nothing,
23:54
Speaker 3: but my very first interview ever, Yeah, as a professional
23:58
Speaker 3: was Tommy John. Wow, I know, and he was so disappointed.
24:02
Speaker 3: It was me. It was for a public affairs show.
24:06
Speaker 3: The regular guy was out. I had just gotten the
24:09
Speaker 3: job at wfil in Philadelphia and he was pushing a
24:12
Speaker 3: new book and it's me and him and I didn't
24:14
Speaker 3: read the book. I think we got good. Thank God.
24:18
Speaker 2: Wanna question, Yeah, how come Tommy John never was allowed
24:23
Speaker 2: to enter the Hall of Fame.
24:25
Speaker 8: I'll tell you why, and absolutely it got two hundred
24:30
Speaker 8: and eighty eight games. Come on, man, that's more wins
24:34
Speaker 8: than any modern day pitcher not in the Hall of Fame.
24:37
Speaker 8: And you're ready for this. He had more wins than
24:41
Speaker 8: six guys in the Hall of Fame. I asked him
24:44
Speaker 8: one time, Hey, Tom, I why aren't you in the
24:48
Speaker 8: Hall of Fame. And he said, I'll tell you why.
24:51
Speaker 8: He said, the Hall of Fame is so impressed with
24:54
Speaker 8: strikeout pictures. They leave me out every year. He says,
24:58
Speaker 8: I was not a strikeout pitcher. I threw a single
25:01
Speaker 8: ball and got a lot of groundouts, he said. I
25:04
Speaker 8: figured it was easier and better to get a batter
25:08
Speaker 8: to ground out on one pitch or two pitches then
25:11
Speaker 8: to try and strike him out. But there's no question
25:14
Speaker 8: this guy, I mean, this is a shame, shame on
25:18
Speaker 8: the Hall of Fame. They should have been in there, absolutely,
25:22
Speaker 8: one hundred percent.
25:24
Speaker 2: Now, over the weekend we saw Giants first exhibition, Jets
25:29
Speaker 2: first exhibition. One question though Jason Dark the Giants Live
25:34
Speaker 2: or Die on his ability to quarterback. Yes, he had
25:38
Speaker 2: a goal for a concussion check.
25:40
Speaker 8: Yeah.
25:41
Speaker 1: In an exhibition game. What the hell is going on?
25:45
Speaker 8: Well, let me tell you something. You know, Joe Namath
25:48
Speaker 8: in an exhibition game nineteen seventy one, he hurt his knee,
25:53
Speaker 8: tore it up, and he was gone for half the season.
25:56
Speaker 8: He tried to make a tackle after an interception. This
25:59
Speaker 8: is ridiculous. And the other thing is what a joke.
26:05
Speaker 8: Both the Giants and Jets, and actually all the teams.
26:09
Speaker 8: It's extortion or blackmail. They make the season ticket holders
26:15
Speaker 8: buy full price preseason game tickets or they'll take away
26:21
Speaker 8: your season tickets for the regular season. What a joke.
26:26
Speaker 3: No, it's a complete ripoff. But let me get back off.
26:30
Speaker 3: Let me get back to him for one second. To
26:31
Speaker 3: Jack Jason Jackson Dard. Do you feel like he should
26:35
Speaker 3: have played at all in the preseason?
26:37
Speaker 8: Most of the teams didn't play there, now, why was it?
26:42
Speaker 8: First of all, most of the time you're playing against
26:45
Speaker 8: guys on the other team who won't even be around.
26:49
Speaker 8: What does it prove? I just I'm fed up with
26:54
Speaker 8: these exhibition teams.
26:55
Speaker 6: And you know.
26:55
Speaker 8: Who's dumberman, the dummies who bet on exit vision games.
27:02
Speaker 8: How come can you get I mean, you don't know
27:05
Speaker 8: who's they're playing against guys you'll never see again. By
27:09
Speaker 8: the way, twelve of the sixteen underdogs beat the spread
27:13
Speaker 8: this past weekend. That shows you how much they know. Oh.
27:18
Speaker 8: Changing the subject, Mets owner Steve Cohen, who has a
27:23
Speaker 8: payroll of three hundred and sixty million dollars for the
27:26
Speaker 8: last place Mets, made a surprise visit to the Mets
27:29
Speaker 8: clubhouse last week, introducing himself to the team's new players.
27:35
Speaker 8: No official word on what was said, but a rumor
27:39
Speaker 8: has it that some of the players said to Cohen
27:42
Speaker 8: as he was leaving.
27:44
Speaker 3: Hit the throt.
27:45
Speaker 1: Don't you find that no more?
27:47
Speaker 12: No more?
27:51
Speaker 1: Oh, you're absolutely right.
27:53
Speaker 2: It's like for all that money and Met fans, they
27:56
Speaker 2: get nothing in return.
27:58
Speaker 8: No, it's it's not how how much you spend, it's
28:01
Speaker 8: how you spend it. Oh, let me hit this day
28:04
Speaker 8: in sports, Larry Old appreciate this Philadelphia time sixty nine
28:09
Speaker 8: years ago today, August seventeenth, nineteen fifty seven. Philly's Hall
28:14
Speaker 8: of Fame center fielder Richie Ashburn. You remember him, right.
28:18
Speaker 3: Los, I sure he's loved in Philly.
28:20
Speaker 6: Love.
28:21
Speaker 8: He hits a foul ball line drive into the third
28:24
Speaker 8: base stands. It broke a woman's nose. After a short
28:30
Speaker 8: delay while the medics were carrying out the woman bleeding,
28:35
Speaker 8: the very next pitch, Ashburn hit another foul ball into
28:40
Speaker 8: the third base stands, and it hit the same woman again,
28:44
Speaker 8: and this time broke a leg. And he was the
28:49
Speaker 8: sp He was the wife of the sports editor of
28:53
Speaker 8: the Philadelphia Bulletin.
28:56
Speaker 1: Question.
28:57
Speaker 2: Back then, people weren't thinking of showing could you imagine
29:00
Speaker 2: the lawsuit?
29:01
Speaker 3: Now?
29:02
Speaker 8: Yeah, Well they have a sign that says we're not
29:06
Speaker 8: responsible for foul Every ballpark, by the way, responsible for
29:11
Speaker 8: foul balls hitting in the stands.
29:12
Speaker 3: Now, Richie Ashbourne might have the record for the most
29:15
Speaker 3: foul balls, because if you remember, he would he would
29:18
Speaker 3: go does he Yeah, he'd go deep into count just
29:20
Speaker 3: by fouling the ball off constantly.
29:22
Speaker 8: Until and then ended his career with the Mets. Yeah,
29:28
Speaker 8: here's a new form of cheating. I've never heard of
29:31
Speaker 8: this before. Zach Holland, a former college golfer, told his
29:37
Speaker 8: golfing partners at this Wing Haven country club that he
29:42
Speaker 8: had to excuse himself because of an emergency and that
29:46
Speaker 8: he would meet them later on the next hole. Instead,
29:49
Speaker 8: he goes ahead of his group, drops the ball into
29:52
Speaker 8: the hole two hundred five yard hole. So the group
29:55
Speaker 8: shows up and they see the ball in the hole.
29:57
Speaker 8: They say, hey, must have been a hole in one.
30:00
Speaker 8: Well okay, except a security camera caught Holland placing the ball.
30:05
Speaker 6: In the hole.
30:06
Speaker 8: He immediately resigned and was thrown out of the club.
30:13
Speaker 8: And you, oh, by the way, you were mentioning Bayone before, right, Yeah, Well,
30:17
Speaker 8: of course the most famous guy is the Bayone bleeder,
30:21
Speaker 8: Chuck Webner. So Webner when he fought Muhammad Ali, and
30:26
Speaker 8: this is where Sylvester Stallone got his idea of Rocky
30:30
Speaker 8: because Webner went to almost fifteen rounds with Ali. So
30:36
Speaker 8: Webner goes into says to his wife the adviser a
30:41
Speaker 8: new negligee right before the fight and says, honey, you
30:46
Speaker 8: were going to be wearing the negligee of the next
30:50
Speaker 8: heavyweight champion of the world. So the fight, where the
30:54
Speaker 8: fight ends, he comes back to the room. She looks
30:57
Speaker 8: at him and says, do I go to his room
31:00
Speaker 8: or is he coming here?
31:04
Speaker 2: Well that no one, Wolf, We gotta let you go
31:07
Speaker 2: because up next, Natalie Magliori talking about AOC all out
31:11
Speaker 2: crazy Alexandrio Cassio Cortes consider iHeart now.
31:17
Speaker 10: It's seventen w oars Beat on the Street with Natalie MIGLIORI.
31:23
Speaker 1: Wow, you survive.
31:24
Speaker 2: New York City has a flash flood warning because of
31:27
Speaker 2: heavy rains in your back.
31:29
Speaker 7: I can't believe I washed my hair last night.
31:31
Speaker 1: That's the freaking news.
31:33
Speaker 7: I should have.
31:33
Speaker 1: I should have.
31:34
Speaker 7: I was wearing a hat anyway, I should have just
31:36
Speaker 7: kept it.
31:37
Speaker 3: You know, I know, look as you you looks right.
31:42
Speaker 7: Thank you.
31:44
Speaker 2: Going through it.
31:45
Speaker 7: Look, there is still plenty of time before the twenty
31:48
Speaker 7: twenty eight presidential election, but it'll be here before you
31:52
Speaker 7: know it.
31:52
Speaker 1: And who's the talk of the town right now?
31:55
Speaker 7: New York's very own Alexandrio Ocasio Cortes, known as AOC.
32:01
Speaker 1: And even though no one has you.
32:03
Speaker 7: Know, substantially declared her on their speculation around it, with
32:07
Speaker 7: a recent poll from the University of New Hampshire showing
32:11
Speaker 7: AOC has twenty two percent of the vote among likely
32:15
Speaker 7: Democratic voters, taking a lead from a former federal official, Pete.
32:19
Speaker 1: Boudage edge at one point.
32:21
Speaker 7: So he's a big name in the Democratic Party, of course,
32:24
Speaker 7: all in a hypothetical race. So what a New Yorker thing?
32:28
Speaker 1: I think she's a whole package.
32:29
Speaker 10: She's young, she is open mind, she.
32:33
Speaker 1: Is looking towards the future.
32:35
Speaker 2: She does a nautic actions for self game, and she
32:39
Speaker 2: looks much better.
32:40
Speaker 10: For the greater good.
32:41
Speaker 15: I don't think that she will serve everybody, and I
32:43
Speaker 15: don't think that the powers and principalities that.
32:46
Speaker 1: Be would participate with her.
32:50
Speaker 15: So if she got elected, oh god, it would be chaos.
32:56
Speaker 7: Yeah, so a bit of a bit of conflicting, and
32:59
Speaker 7: I think I've found that all morning, a bit of
33:01
Speaker 7: confliction there. Now there are great articles from the National
33:04
Speaker 7: Review about AOC, a Democrat, and Marco Rubio, a Republican,
33:08
Speaker 7: taking sort of these influencerlike approaches to connecting with their
33:12
Speaker 7: audience's very interesting reads. Another column from town Hall even
33:16
Speaker 7: gives insight on how AOC's PR team might be trying
33:20
Speaker 7: to turn her into the political version of Taylor Swift.
33:24
Speaker 12: Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift.
33:26
Speaker 7: As she starts publicly sharing her journey to freezing her eggs,
33:29
Speaker 7: which actually Curtis and Larry a lot of people saying, oh,
33:32
Speaker 7: I recognize that they sort of didn't necessarily recognize AOC
33:38
Speaker 7: in a sense, we think she's such a big name,
33:40
Speaker 7: but then when you start talking about the freezing eggs part,
33:43
Speaker 7: they really get into it. So and her breakup with
33:45
Speaker 7: her longtime fiance. She was with that guy for a
33:48
Speaker 7: long time, they broke up. So is it a way
33:50
Speaker 7: to appeal to broader audiences in a more human way?
33:54
Speaker 15: If you got to convince somebody of who you are
33:57
Speaker 15: and not who you are, you gotta work at being
34:00
Speaker 15: something else. But when the lights come on, it's still you.
34:05
Speaker 1: I don't see how that would work.
34:06
Speaker 3: I don't think there's any connection there.
34:08
Speaker 16: Plus, tell us, if it is a singer, she's gonna
34:10
Speaker 16: be somebody that's gonna be working into our future.
34:13
Speaker 3: What would she have even a connection there?
34:15
Speaker 16: I heard about that, but I don't think freezing her
34:18
Speaker 16: eggs and health, kid, it's gonna it's gonna do any good.
34:22
Speaker 16: The men run this country, not the woman. I don't
34:25
Speaker 16: care how many women go out and vote. The men
34:27
Speaker 16: are gonna have the upper hand because they run the country.
34:31
Speaker 3: Yeah.
34:31
Speaker 7: So I guess that this leads us to my last question.
34:35
Speaker 7: Is America it's long been debated ready for a female president?
34:40
Speaker 7: Do we have that bite?
34:42
Speaker 3: Is it there? Oh?
34:44
Speaker 2: Now?
34:45
Speaker 3: So what's the answer.
34:46
Speaker 7: Well, one person says no, because we couldn't get Hillary
34:49
Speaker 7: Clinton in. We couldn't get who Canil Harrison. Another guy said, hey,
34:54
Speaker 7: it's not about who, it's about It's not about a woman,
34:57
Speaker 7: it's about who, and then he said, Elizabeth Orne, she
35:00
Speaker 7: be the president.
35:03
Speaker 1: PoCA Hunters. I'll leave that to you Court.
35:08
Speaker 2: It's a generational change, and as you can see, AOC
35:11
Speaker 2: does have a following that she's been building on for years.
35:15
Speaker 2: Her problem would be if she enters into it. The
35:18
Speaker 2: DNC chose South Carolina over the weekend to be the
35:22
Speaker 2: first primary state for Democrats. As predominantly black, a lot
35:25
Speaker 2: of elderly blacks who vote. I wouldn't say that's your constituency,
35:30
Speaker 2: but you can't rule her out either.
35:31
Speaker 7: Which is interesting because the one of the men who
35:34
Speaker 7: I was talking to was an elderly black man and
35:36
Speaker 7: he was saying, no, he'd rather see Trump in office
35:39
Speaker 7: still than AOC. So it was a very interesting way
35:43
Speaker 7: to get people.
35:44
Speaker 3: I think she's going to run for Senate. I don't
35:46
Speaker 3: think she's going to run for president, but we'll see.
35:48
Speaker 7: It depends on how likely where she thinks her chances
35:51
Speaker 7: are more likely of winning.
35:52
Speaker 3: She's so young, and they take another step, you know,
35:55
Speaker 3: what I mean, because some people, as you said, still
35:59
Speaker 3: think she's crazy.
36:00
Speaker 7: And some people don't even know who she is still,
36:03
Speaker 7: even though she has this massive following, You ask people
36:06
Speaker 7: what they think about.
36:06
Speaker 2: Her, and yeah, well, CNN asked people what they thought
36:10
Speaker 2: about Israel. You want to be shocked at the responses
36:14
Speaker 2: from both Republicans and Democrats.
36:16
Speaker 1: But first, it's eight o'clock the News
