Hour 3: Kaity Tong retires · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: This is the story of a modern day mob barker,
0:04
Speaker 1: the woman who would raise four sons who went out
0:07
Speaker 1: to commit crimes with the support of the mother murders, shootings,
0:12
Speaker 1: bank robberies back in Oklahoma and eventually the FBI Director j.
0:17
Speaker 1: Edgar Hoover described her as the most vicious, dangerous, resourceful
0:22
Speaker 1: criminal brain in the last decade. That was in nineteen
0:26
Speaker 1: thirty five. Well we got we got a competitor here. Locally,
0:31
Speaker 1: she is the deputy police Commissioner of Mount Vernon, at
0:34
Speaker 1: least was so up until yesterday. She has been fired.
0:39
Speaker 1: But it is an incredible story that I think the
0:42
Speaker 1: theme Larry, Natalie and our listeners can be the family
0:45
Speaker 1: that commits crime together stays together. So this woman who
0:51
Speaker 1: was never a police officer before, was hired to be
0:54
Speaker 1: the deputy police Commissioner of Mount Vernon and she was
0:58
Speaker 1: in charge of the wellness Unit. I'll explain what that
1:01
Speaker 1: is later on. But she chooses to continue to live
1:05
Speaker 1: in Soundview private house. She has befriended a man that
1:09
Speaker 1: she has assisted doing a transition from being a hardcore
1:13
Speaker 1: felon doing federal time in North Carolina for transporting heroin.
1:18
Speaker 1: And she's raising a teenage son, except you don't know
1:23
Speaker 1: who's more of a thug, the father, the mother, the
1:27
Speaker 1: deputy Police Commissioner of Mount Vernon, or the son. So
1:32
Speaker 1: let me take you back in a little bit of
1:34
Speaker 1: a time machine to June the case that cause the
1:38
Speaker 1: police to show up outside of her house, the NYPD
1:41
Speaker 1: and arrest her and her teenage thug son. While the
1:46
Speaker 1: father is on the lamb, apparently on a business trip
1:49
Speaker 1: to North Carolina. I wonder what he's doing there. So
1:53
Speaker 1: they decide to get into the family car. It is
1:57
Speaker 1: a Pontiac and a head down to the Bronx County Courthouse,
2:01
Speaker 1: which is right on one hundred and sixty first author
2:03
Speaker 1: Grand Concourse in the shadow of Yankee Stadium. The purpose
2:07
Speaker 1: of going to the county courthouse is not to be
2:10
Speaker 1: there because the Sun has a court case, of which
2:13
Speaker 1: he's had many in the past. He is attempted to
2:16
Speaker 1: shoot cops, was shot in the legs, nothing happened to him,
2:20
Speaker 1: and he was shot by a gang banger after they
2:22
Speaker 1: were exchanging gang signs on a bus and nothing happened.
2:27
Speaker 2: You know.
2:27
Speaker 1: Basically, he was just turned loose to do it again
2:29
Speaker 1: and again, which is the way of the Bronx, but
2:31
Speaker 1: he's going to the Bronx County Courthouse because he knows
2:35
Speaker 1: the guys he's looking for in a different gang have
2:39
Speaker 1: a court hearing that day. And this is very common
2:41
Speaker 1: in the Bronx. You have more police around the Bronx
2:43
Speaker 1: County Courthouse. They'll tell you because thugs come with guns
2:47
Speaker 1: knowing that their adversaries have to show up for a
2:50
Speaker 1: court appearance. So Mommy is driving the car. Daddy, the
2:55
Speaker 1: former felon, is next to her, and the Sun is
2:57
Speaker 1: in the back with a loaded nine minister with a
3:00
Speaker 1: clip in it, and the goal is to go to
3:03
Speaker 1: the Bronx County Courthouse because they're not sure if the
3:06
Speaker 1: thugs are expected to be in court that day. So
3:09
Speaker 1: Mom gets out with the son and Dad keeps the
3:12
Speaker 1: car running outside the County Courthouse on one sixty first
3:16
Speaker 1: and Grant Concourse in case they have to make a
3:18
Speaker 1: quick hit away. Mom stands outside and says to her
3:22
Speaker 1: thug son, go inside and see if they're up on
3:26
Speaker 1: the bulletin board, because outside of every courtroom every day
3:29
Speaker 1: they list the people who are supposed to be in
3:32
Speaker 1: there for a hearing or a trial or whatever. That's
3:35
Speaker 1: how you know for sure that they're gonna show up.
3:37
Speaker 1: So she stands on the outside, she's doing a lookout,
3:41
Speaker 1: and the son puts a mask on and he goes
3:43
Speaker 1: on the inside and he checks it out and says,
3:47
Speaker 1: comes back out. He goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
3:50
Speaker 1: They're expected today in court. I think I know which
3:53
Speaker 1: way they're going to be coming to court. So Mom says,
3:56
Speaker 1: let's get in the car, let's go get him, and
3:59
Speaker 1: let's get him there and then we get the hell
4:01
Speaker 1: out of here. So they go up about two blocks
4:03
Speaker 1: from one sixty first in the Grand Concourse, and the
4:06
Speaker 1: Sun is absolutely right. The thugs are coming down the block,
4:10
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the Pontiac rolls up the
4:14
Speaker 1: back window, goes down where the Sun is sitting in
4:16
Speaker 1: the back, and he puts out the window a loaded
4:20
Speaker 1: nine millimeter with a clip and unloads.
4:22
Speaker 3: Pop.
4:25
Speaker 1: Papa, Well guess what. He hadn't been to the shooting
4:28
Speaker 1: gallery and hadn't trained himself in expert shooting, and he
4:31
Speaker 1: missed everybody he was amy yet well, thank god. So
4:35
Speaker 1: Dad tells Mom, hey, hit the gas, let's get out
4:38
Speaker 1: of here, and they go who they start flying up
4:41
Speaker 1: the Grand concourse, while they're in the car, the sun
4:45
Speaker 1: is in the back changing his clothes because maybe somebody
4:48
Speaker 1: can identify him when the window went down, as he
4:51
Speaker 1: was wearing red. Now he's wearing blue. You know, they're
4:55
Speaker 1: doing all kinds of things to try to camouflage the
4:58
Speaker 1: crime which took place in the car. They drive by
5:01
Speaker 1: shooting and they get away. This is the end of June.
5:06
Speaker 1: One thing I want to find out, Larry, because you
5:08
Speaker 1: know I've told you the reason sometimes that our crime
5:11
Speaker 1: stats look so good is the rules of the police department,
5:14
Speaker 1: which esca tish is that if you fire shots at
5:18
Speaker 1: somebody and it doesn't hit a human being, it's not
5:20
Speaker 1: listed as a crime. So I got homework tonight because
5:23
Speaker 1: I would bet you it is not listed as a
5:25
Speaker 1: crime when he capped at about fourteen sixteen shots at
5:30
Speaker 1: these other gang bangers. So they get away and then
5:33
Speaker 1: all of a sudden the tip comes in. I think
5:38
Speaker 1: you need to be looking into Deputy Police Commissioner there
5:40
Speaker 1: at Mount Vernon as aiding and abetting her son in
5:43
Speaker 1: the drive by shooting. And that's how this all unfurls.
5:49
Speaker 1: She is not only enabling him, the father is enabling
5:54
Speaker 1: him so the family that commits crime together stays together,
5:59
Speaker 1: and she is a proud homeowner there and sound you
6:02
Speaker 1: she wasn't gonna move. She used to be part of
6:03
Speaker 1: Community Board nine. She becomes the deputy police commissioner of
6:08
Speaker 1: Mount Vernon, no police experience, and so now we got
6:11
Speaker 1: to find out why the hell was she hired. It's
6:14
Speaker 1: the deputy police commissioner when no police experience, and in
6:20
Speaker 1: charge of the wellness unit, which normally in a police
6:23
Speaker 1: department like the NYPD, you go and you check on
6:26
Speaker 1: active members of the police department or retirees who may
6:30
Speaker 1: have suggested that they're very depressed. You worry about suicide,
6:34
Speaker 1: which is a high rate of But in Mount Vernon, apparently,
6:38
Speaker 1: you go and you check on the citizens, half of
6:40
Speaker 1: whom must be highly depressed because the police department is
6:44
Speaker 1: corrupt and all the elected officials are corrupted. This is
6:48
Speaker 1: one for the books.
6:50
Speaker 3: It is one for the books, but you know, it
6:53
Speaker 3: is a It's more common than you would think from
6:57
Speaker 3: the story I met. By the way, she was making
6:59
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty eight thousand dollars a year and
7:01
Speaker 3: she just lost that job when she might lose her
7:04
Speaker 3: freedom as well. But I'm certain after the story comes out,
7:08
Speaker 3: they're all going to be unemployed, if they weren't all
7:11
Speaker 3: unemployed in the first place. But it is more of
7:15
Speaker 3: a common tale at its core than you would imagine.
7:20
Speaker 3: That we always seem to say in forgiving criminals that
7:24
Speaker 3: come up in especially in black neighborhoods or in poor neighborhoods,
7:28
Speaker 3: I should say that that, you know, the parents have
7:32
Speaker 3: no control. They tried their best. They tried their best,
7:34
Speaker 3: but they have no control. The gang's takeover, the kids
7:37
Speaker 3: take over. There's bad guys in the schools. They teach
7:40
Speaker 3: them how to be a certain way. Many of the
7:42
Speaker 3: times it's the parents themselves. You know, it is a
7:46
Speaker 3: family business after a while, and that people grow up
7:50
Speaker 3: a certain way because their parents are that way. So
7:55
Speaker 3: the fact that she was from Mount Vernon and she
7:57
Speaker 3: was the police commission and that she drove down there.
8:00
Speaker 3: They actually took part in the crime, that makes it
8:03
Speaker 3: a cool, a surprising story. But the fact that they
8:08
Speaker 3: were supportive of their son being in the gangs, that's
8:11
Speaker 3: not surprising to me. You seem to find that more
8:16
Speaker 3: than less likely. And I'll tell you what. In many
8:21
Speaker 3: of the families, the people that you find are the
8:23
Speaker 3: most rational are the grandparents who have seen some things.
8:28
Speaker 3: But the parents and especially the fathers, they're the ones
8:32
Speaker 3: that indoctrinate sometimes, and that is the cycle of crime
8:36
Speaker 3: that you have to stop that. You know, just putting
8:39
Speaker 3: people in prison all the time, I'm all for that.
8:41
Speaker 3: If they break a crime, we should be doing that
8:44
Speaker 3: all of the time. We shouldn't be letting people out
8:46
Speaker 3: in bail. But you need to catch kids very very early.
8:49
Speaker 3: They did catch this guy when he was seventeen. Now
8:52
Speaker 3: this is what he did without the parents being around. No, no,
8:55
Speaker 3: I don't mean arrest him. I don't mean arrest him.
8:57
Speaker 3: I mean get him out of that environ minute as
9:00
Speaker 3: soon as you possibly can.
9:01
Speaker 1: Well, this would be a difficult one, Larry, because you
9:04
Speaker 1: have a stable household.
9:06
Speaker 4: You know, if you were part of the child. Sure
9:10
Speaker 4: you go, you.
9:11
Speaker 1: See their own home. They own a home. It's a
9:13
Speaker 1: father and a mother there. The mother is the deputy
9:16
Speaker 1: police Commissioner of Mountain Vernon. You know, that's not just
9:20
Speaker 1: a cop walking the beat. So if you look on
9:23
Speaker 1: it from the outside, you say, wow, this is a
9:26
Speaker 1: real stable household. Father and mother are together, they're raising
9:29
Speaker 1: the sound. But the son had already indicated he was
9:32
Speaker 1: an enemy of society. He takes that a loaded nine
9:35
Speaker 1: milimeter I'll bit you it's the same gun when he
9:37
Speaker 1: was seventeen, aims it at the NYPD, aims at it.
9:41
Speaker 1: He's ready to fire on them. So they fired two shots.
9:44
Speaker 1: They hit him in the leg.
9:45
Speaker 4: Now you would think, Okay, the guy's going away for
9:47
Speaker 4: a while. No, no, and.
9:51
Speaker 1: Then a year later, he's on a Bronx bus. He
9:54
Speaker 1: sees gang bangers. They're throwing the signs back and forth.
9:57
Speaker 1: He tries to drag one of them off, which is crazy,
10:01
Speaker 1: and then they shoot him in the chest. Guess what,
10:04
Speaker 1: he wouldn't snitch on him. Snitches get stitches and end
10:07
Speaker 1: up in ditches. I would say these guys that he
10:11
Speaker 1: was hunting down at that Bronx County Courthouse probably were
10:15
Speaker 1: responsible for shooting him in the chest on that bus
10:18
Speaker 1: when he was eighteen years old and he was trying
10:22
Speaker 1: to settle scores.
10:23
Speaker 4: I got a lot of homework to do on this celebrity.
10:25
Speaker 4: I got a lot of homework to do on this.
10:27
Speaker 1: Yeah.
10:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll tell you what you know.
10:30
Speaker 3: I think it's it's an unusual story, but it's not
10:34
Speaker 3: an uncommon story at its root, and that's what that's
10:38
Speaker 3: what the sin is.
10:39
Speaker 4: Well, let me add one thing to it.
10:40
Speaker 1: The cops around the Bronx County Courthouse for a reason,
10:44
Speaker 1: because people are settling scores there all the time. You
10:47
Speaker 1: think this case will wake up the police commissioner to
10:51
Speaker 1: say there's something wrong here. That's why there are so
10:54
Speaker 1: many young teenagers firing on other teenagers a block away
10:59
Speaker 1: for the Bronx County Courthouse.
11:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get it, you would hope so. But again,
11:05
Speaker 3: this is this kind of stuff. It else is happening
11:08
Speaker 3: way too much, and you'd think any of those cases
11:11
Speaker 3: would wake them up. When we come back, somebody I've
11:14
Speaker 3: worked with a couple of times and it's just a
11:16
Speaker 3: wonderful human being is retiring. Good for her. The legendary
11:22
Speaker 3: Katie Tong is calling it quits. We'll talk about that next,
11:26
Speaker 3: plus a chance to see Leonard, Skinnyard and Foreigner next.
11:30
Speaker 1: Oh six times we've had flooding in New York City
11:34
Speaker 1: and the surrounding suburban areas, and now they're talking about
11:38
Speaker 1: heat coming in again, over one hundred degrees in the
11:41
Speaker 1: next few days and more thunder storms. Are you covered

Speaker 3: Well, You're good for her. Kitie Tongue is retiring. I
12:54
Speaker 3: love when broadcasters get to go out on their own terms.
12:59
Speaker 3: I worked with Kai by the way back at WABC
13:03
Speaker 3: in the eighties, and she started in eighty one. I
13:06
Speaker 3: didn't know that that she had started in eighty one.
13:09
Speaker 3: I started there in eighty six, just a few years later.
13:12
Speaker 3: But remember she was part of the iconic team with
13:14
Speaker 3: Ernie Anastes. That was a lead in to Roger Grimsby
13:18
Speaker 3: and Bill b Tell. That's when WABC not only dominated
13:23
Speaker 3: in New York, they were the dominant local news station
13:27
Speaker 3: in the country, so big that when you went to
13:32
Speaker 3: a news conference, they wouldn't start until WABC showed up.
13:36
Speaker 2: That's how big they were.
13:38
Speaker 3: But Kitie tong Is just let me just say something
13:42
Speaker 3: personal about her. She's just a wonderful, wonderful person. And
13:46
Speaker 3: I'll tell you a personal story in a second.
13:48
Speaker 2: But she was born in.
13:49
Speaker 3: China at the age of and moved to the United
13:53
Speaker 3: States at the age of four. And listen to this.
13:57
Speaker 3: She was a doctoral candidate at Stanton for University when
14:01
Speaker 3: she got her first radio job, and then she felt
14:03
Speaker 3: the bug. She said, and she's told me this before
14:06
Speaker 3: that she never ever really wanted to get into broadcasting
14:09
Speaker 3: her news. She never thought of it. It kind of
14:12
Speaker 3: just happened. And look at that. She took off and
14:15
Speaker 3: she was absolutely at the top. And I'm sure, I'm sure, Curtis,
14:20
Speaker 3: you've you've talked to her several times.
14:23
Speaker 4: Yeah, many times.
14:25
Speaker 2: I was.
14:26
Speaker 3: When I was first there, she was the first person
14:28
Speaker 3: to come up to me, and I just came from Columbus, Ohio.
14:31
Speaker 3: It was a big jump to New York. I was
14:32
Speaker 3: the weekend anchor. You know, I was a little intimidated.
14:35
Speaker 3: She was the first person to take me out to
14:37
Speaker 3: dinner and we went to a I remember it was
14:41
Speaker 3: a Mexican restaurant and she while we're sitting there, a
14:45
Speaker 3: couple came over and said, I love you on the air,
14:49
Speaker 3: and she said, oh, thank you so much, and I
14:51
Speaker 3: love your husband.
14:53
Speaker 2: Mari Povich.
14:56
Speaker 3: Mixed her up and apparently it happened to her all
14:58
Speaker 3: the time, and she without missing she said, you know,
15:01
Speaker 3: he beats me.
15:02
Speaker 1: Oh oh my, look, I gotta be honest with you.
15:10
Speaker 1: Before I had met her, I made the same mistake
15:14
Speaker 1: because there weren't that many Asians who were broadcasting on
15:18
Speaker 1: television at the time, so it was easy to conflate
15:23
Speaker 1: Maury Povich's wife, who was National CBS Connie Chung.
15:31
Speaker 2: Maybe we're famous, Kottie Chung.
15:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no doubt. Well, yeah, who's your daddy?
15:38
Speaker 1: I remember Murray Povich. Who's your daddy?
15:40
Speaker 2: Yeah?
15:41
Speaker 1: I'm telling you there were a lot of people made
15:44
Speaker 1: that same mistake. But what it dropped deadline to say,
15:47
Speaker 1: oh yeah, and he beats me too.
15:48
Speaker 3: Well, you know it must have happened before that many times,
15:51
Speaker 3: many many times before. Then she's talking to me and
15:53
Speaker 3: she says, to me, are how you doing here? And
15:56
Speaker 3: I said, I'm a little intimidated. I'm a little nervous.
15:59
Speaker 3: She goes, really, we're good people here, and then she
16:02
Speaker 3: took a basket of chips and she dumped it over
16:06
Speaker 3: my head. She said, are you feeling less intimidated now?
16:15
Speaker 1: Crazy?
16:16
Speaker 5: I love that.
16:17
Speaker 6: That's just actually really a good way to put someone
16:20
Speaker 6: at ease, like horrible normal, the bag of chips.
16:23
Speaker 2: On your head like people do all the time.
16:26
Speaker 4: That was your baptism was potato chipship guy?
16:31
Speaker 2: Did know?
16:32
Speaker 3: I think they were made by the restaurant themselves. But
16:36
Speaker 3: let's get to some talkbacks anyway. I wish you well, Kaide.
16:39
Speaker 3: I hope this message gets to you that we wish
16:41
Speaker 3: you nothing but the best.
16:43
Speaker 7: Monday's camping out is actually a socialist training exercise when
16:47
Speaker 7: he makes the hole for most of the city homeless.
16:52
Speaker 1: Well that's the problem. Now, how do you tell the
16:54
Speaker 1: homeless they can't camp out in the parks?
16:57
Speaker 2: Absolutely a great point.
16:59
Speaker 8: You guys didn't even mention coming back to your tent
17:02
Speaker 8: and finding crackheads and squatters and people using your tent
17:08
Speaker 8: for bathrooms and just living in there, pushing your stuff
17:12
Speaker 8: out of keeping your stuff.
17:14
Speaker 2: This is New York.
17:15
Speaker 8: It's not a real place.

Speaker 1: But Natalie, Natalie is so sure that the parties are
17:24
Speaker 1: gonna keep them away, So.

21:17
Speaker 3: the Republicans have a real problem in Ohio, but that
21:22
Speaker 3: is only part of the story. And as some have said,
21:25
Speaker 3: with this case, politics, politics takes a back seat when
21:29
Speaker 3: you're talking about a little girl and you're talking about
21:33
Speaker 3: wife being hit and you're talking about other women actually
21:38
Speaker 3: being abused, and we're talking about Representative Max Miller. He
21:43
Speaker 3: is accused of being physical with his ex wife, and
21:49
Speaker 3: there are two other women that have come forward and
21:52
Speaker 3: said no, he was physical with us as well. And
21:55
Speaker 3: all of this could come out because of the fight
21:59
Speaker 3: over his daughter. Who gets to take custody of the daughter.
22:04
Speaker 3: So it's been playing out in court and they've been
22:06
Speaker 3: trying and trying and trying.
22:09
Speaker 2: To keep it under wraps.
22:10
Speaker 3: Everybody involved, nobody wanted this out there, and then Max
22:15
Speaker 3: Miller was the one that came out and made it
22:18
Speaker 3: public and that made.
22:21
Speaker 2: His father in law furious.
22:25
Speaker 3: His father in law happens to be the Senator Bernie
22:30
Speaker 3: Marino from Ohio, and he went public and said this
22:35
Speaker 3: guy should never get reelected, he should drop out of
22:38
Speaker 3: the race.
22:39
Speaker 2: And why did he do it? Well, that's the horrible
22:42
Speaker 2: part about.
22:43
Speaker 7: It Sunday when he went out and did what he did,
22:46
Speaker 7: including releasing photos of my granddaughter completely naked. But now
22:54
Speaker 7: you have hundreds of thousands of psychotic human beings that
22:58
Speaker 7: have that and they say, ooh, pop is grotesque. My
23:02
Speaker 7: personal opinion is that this is a felony and that
23:06
Speaker 7: every single human being that touched that photo and transmitted
23:09
Speaker 7: electronically should go to jail.
23:12
Speaker 1: Wow, the clock is ticking, Larry, because just like with Platner,
23:17
Speaker 1: you know, he can drop out by Friday, the end
23:21
Speaker 1: of the workday, and they can replace him the Republican
23:24
Speaker 1: Committee of Ohio. But if you listen to him now
23:28
Speaker 1: like Platinum, remember I'm not dropping out. I'm not dropping out.
23:31
Speaker 1: What really I think was the straw that breaks his back.
23:35
Speaker 1: And I pointed this out to you yesterday and you
23:37
Speaker 1: clarified us clarified it before we came on air, is
23:41
Speaker 1: that the former spokesperson in the Trump administration in his
23:46
Speaker 1: first term came out and acknowledged that she had written
23:50
Speaker 1: an op ed about being harassed and stalked and taken
23:55
Speaker 1: advantage of, but wouldn't name the person years ago.
23:58
Speaker 3: Back in two thousand twenty one. Yep, she did, and
24:01
Speaker 3: now she's saying it's him. But it's not just her.
24:04
Speaker 3: There's actually two women that have come out. So we're
24:07
Speaker 3: to have three women now say that he he physically
24:11
Speaker 3: abused that well, yes it is. It's even worse because
24:16
Speaker 3: he's now shared naked pictures of his daughter. Now he
24:20
Speaker 3: says that was an absolute mistake. Well, then you shouldn't
24:24
Speaker 3: be in office. If you make mistakes like that, you
24:27
Speaker 3: shouldn't be in office. And that's what Bernie Marino, who
24:31
Speaker 3: is a very upset father and grandfather, says.
24:34
Speaker 7: And if there's any minimum standard for being an elected official,
24:39
Speaker 7: as I said, he fails to meet that minimum basic standard.
24:43
Speaker 7: I don't care about the politics at all, don't think
24:46
Speaker 7: about it, doesn't enter my consciousness.
24:49
Speaker 3: He's a by the way, Bernie Marino, I feel for
24:52
Speaker 3: him so much. I can't even imagine. I'd want to
24:54
Speaker 3: kill this guy if this was my daughter and my granddaughter.
24:57
Speaker 3: I can't even imagine what he's going through. And because
25:01
Speaker 3: his daughter is afraid to go meet him, he is
25:04
Speaker 3: the one that has to drive and leave off the granddaughter.
25:08
Speaker 3: And he said, it just makes me sick every time
25:11
Speaker 3: I see him. I just want to strangle absolutely.
25:14
Speaker 1: Now the president has intervened, there's the leader of the
25:17
Speaker 1: Republican Party. He did have a personal conversation with the
25:21
Speaker 1: congressman say it's gonna make it tough, you know, basically
25:25
Speaker 1: telling him you're probably not gonna get reelected if you
25:29
Speaker 1: stick into it. But he did not order him to
25:32
Speaker 1: drop out. So the drama continues. I think if we
25:36
Speaker 1: did a poly market on this, or what do you say, Cashi,
25:40
Speaker 1: he drops out by Friday?
25:41
Speaker 4: He does a partner.
25:42
Speaker 3: You know, it's funny you said Friday, and I thought
25:44
Speaker 3: it was Friday too. Axio says it's tomorrow. Oh, Wednesday,
25:49
Speaker 3: he has until drop out. Well, I'll double check on that,
25:51
Speaker 3: but Axios usually has those things right, So he has
25:55
Speaker 3: it sounds like still tomorrow. What an absolute scum narcissist
26:01
Speaker 3: that he'd can't at least see what this would do
26:04
Speaker 3: to his daughter for him to stay in this race.
26:08
Speaker 3: I mean, he's gonna get dragged through the mud. It's
26:11
Speaker 3: gonna be on anybody that runs against him, if they
26:15
Speaker 3: have any kind of campaign at all, are going to
26:17
Speaker 3: use this throughout the campaign. Now it's a vulnerable seat
26:21
Speaker 3: as well. And when Marino, by the way, God bless him,
26:24
Speaker 3: Bernie Marino, the grandfather, when they asked him about the
26:27
Speaker 3: politics of it, he said, I don't give a damn
26:30
Speaker 3: about the politics. You're talking about my granddaughter here, and
26:33
Speaker 3: it silenced the Washington press.
26:35
Speaker 1: You are correct, But there, Speaker Johnson, he's dealing with
26:39
Speaker 1: this as a possible laws. There is also tomorrow we
26:43
Speaker 1: have to bring up the one in North Carolina where
26:45
Speaker 1: the Republican congressman it's been alleged that he was a
26:49
Speaker 1: series of transgressions, you know, again in a symbol of vein,
26:54
Speaker 1: and they want him to drop out. It's sort of like, wow,
26:57
Speaker 1: the difference between Democrats and Republican in the House, and
27:00
Speaker 1: with the Republicans saving so many districts through the redistricting
27:05
Speaker 1: in their camp, these margins are driving leaders of both
27:09
Speaker 1: parties absolutely out of their minds. But you're right, this
27:12
Speaker 1: is this should have nothing to do with who is
27:14
Speaker 1: in the majority and who is in the mind.
27:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, this goes way beyond politics. And listen, since since
27:19
Speaker 3: I'm a grandfather and I'm a father of a daughter,
27:23
Speaker 3: I relate to Bernie Marino. I feel so bad for
27:27
Speaker 3: him everybody involved. But because of I'm in a similar situation,
27:32
Speaker 3: not with the bad part, with the good part. I
27:36
Speaker 3: feel what he's going through.
27:37
Speaker 7: Do I want all this in public?
27:39
Speaker 3: No?
27:39
Speaker 7: Do you have any idea that what it's like to
27:42
Speaker 7: go through physical abuse and then mental abuse, and then
27:47
Speaker 7: to relive it over and over and over again. That's
27:50
Speaker 7: what my daughter has tried to avoid. She hasn't made
27:53
Speaker 7: a single solitary public statement. Max feels like he needs
27:58
Speaker 7: to go on a publicity tour, which I just don't understand.
28:02
Speaker 3: It was Max Milberth that came forward with yes, and
28:04
Speaker 3: so that shows you how sick this guy is. I mean, look,
28:10
Speaker 3: when there's smoke, there's fire. I understand that in relationships,
28:14
Speaker 3: bad things can happen. Accusations can get made, sometimes false accusations,
28:18
Speaker 3: but can be made. We're talking about three women. Now,
28:22
Speaker 3: we're talking about three women coming forward, and you're right
28:25
Speaker 3: when that happened with Graham Platner, at least he had
28:28
Speaker 3: the grace to lead.
28:29
Speaker 1: Well the pressure isn't he realized there was more also
28:33
Speaker 1: in the offense, I.
28:34
Speaker 2: Get it, but he made that.
28:35
Speaker 3: This narcissist has decided he can beat this well, always
28:39
Speaker 3: thinking about is the politics and his own lies.
28:42
Speaker 4: Let's revisit this tomorrow.
28:43
Speaker 1: Let's do the deep dive also on the Republican congressman
28:47
Speaker 1: in North Carolina who's facing some similar sort of mama
28:51
Speaker 1: drama assault situation.
28:54
Speaker 4: So this has never happened before.
28:57
Speaker 3: Now, well, the thing that makes this even a bigger
28:59
Speaker 3: story what happened in Ohio is the fact that his
29:02
Speaker 3: father in law is the United States Senator, and the
29:06
Speaker 3: United States Senator has been hounded. I will give Bernie
29:09
Speaker 3: Marino all the credit in the world. They were hounding
29:13
Speaker 3: him and he just stopped and he turned to them.
29:15
Speaker 3: He was trying to avoid them, stopped and held a
29:18
Speaker 3: minim press conference in the halls of the Senate. That
29:21
Speaker 3: had to be so difficult to do, but he did
29:23
Speaker 3: it for his daughter, and he did it for his granddaughter.
29:26
Speaker 3: And I'm going to love this guy the rest of
29:28
Speaker 3: my life.
29:29
Speaker 4: I concur with you on that. Up next, we broke
29:32
Speaker 4: this story here.
29:32
Speaker 1: First, remember Eric Adams getting booed and leave it to
29:36
Speaker 1: beaver Lan in the middle of Wisconsin promoting artificial intelligence
29:40
Speaker 1: STATI file centers.
29:42
Speaker 4: Well he's the ex mayor.
29:44
Speaker 1: Well, the real man now got booed yesterday in Middland
29:47
Speaker 1: Beach in Staten Island at the National Night Out. Oh,
29:50
Speaker 1: we're gonna give you both of it and give you
29:53
Speaker 1: an update on the two other guys. What Como was
29:55
Speaker 1: doing and Slieva was doing in that very contentious mayoral race.
30:00
Speaker 1: You went through what was it November for what that's
30:02
Speaker 1: nine months ago, But right now for everybody listening, it
30:06
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if you're in the region, if you're national international,
30:11
Speaker 1: you can certainly get us on the streen. This is
30:13
Speaker 1: a problem that so many people are having everywhere. You
30:17
Speaker 1: talk about your relationship to your children. There's nothing closer
30:22
Speaker 1: to you in life for your grandchildren. You get that
30:25
Speaker 1: call all of a sudden, it sounds like your child
30:29
Speaker 1: or your grandchild, and they're in need, and right away
30:32
Speaker 1: does it. Please please send the money, Please send the money.
30:34
Speaker 1: If you don't, I'm in double trouble. And you'll do
30:37
Speaker 1: anything in the world. You will move everything the rocket
30:40
Speaker 1: Gibraltar if you can. And it turns out that that
30:44
Speaker 1: voice was copied by AI, and it turns out it's
30:48
Speaker 1: all legal because your information is out there, it's floating
30:53
Speaker 1: around like satellites in space, and it's being packaged up
30:58
Speaker 1: by data centers that and then marketing it. Oh, they'll
31:03
Speaker 1: sell it to anybody, including criminals. Now you could put
31:06
Speaker 1: a stop to that Pronto Tonto, for yourself, for someone
31:09
Speaker 1: you love, friends of yours, by letting them know that
31:12
Speaker 1: help is on the way through i NCOG and i incognity,
31:17
Speaker 1: which automatically removes your personal information from hundreds of data brokers.
31:22
Speaker 1: Remember it's legal what they're doing, but you got to
31:24
Speaker 1: protect yourself and people search sites. Incogniti sends the legal
31:29
Speaker 1: removal request, then they follow up. It's like whack them all.
31:32
Speaker 1: You do it again and we're coming after you again,
31:34
Speaker 1: and they scrub them from the list. If scammers can't
31:37
Speaker 1: find you, they can't target you. If spammers can't find you,
31:40
Speaker 1: they can't bother you. Go to incogniti dot com slash curtis,
31:44
Speaker 1: save sixty percent.
31:45
Speaker 4: Off when you sign up.
31:47
Speaker 1: That's I n cogni dot com slash curtis because the
31:51
Speaker 1: sweetest sound your phone can make, it's nobody's spamming you
31:57
Speaker 1: or texting you. And all, remember yesterday I introduced you
32:06
Speaker 1: on radio to a story that nobody else had, and
32:10
Speaker 1: that was that Eric Adams have Hustle, Will Travel is
32:13
Speaker 1: now available to any business group that needs somebody shilling form.
32:19
Speaker 1: As you know, when you last heard from him, he
32:21
Speaker 1: was selling his bitcoin I call it come coin and
32:25
Speaker 1: telling Jewish people, oh, I'm going to use the proceeds
32:28
Speaker 1: to fight anti Semitism, and all of a sudden it
32:31
Speaker 1: was a pump and dump. A million dollars was missing. Well,
32:35
Speaker 1: apparently he's been traveling the heartland of America after he
32:39
Speaker 1: became a citizen in Albania recently unbeknownst to us, and
32:42
Speaker 1: landed in what I call little house on the prairie
32:47
Speaker 1: in the state of Wisconsin where they had an old
32:49
Speaker 1: paper mill plant that a big AI data filing center
32:54
Speaker 1: company wanted to replace the paper mill which is no
32:58
Speaker 1: longer active nine hundred jobs with a guarantee of two
33:02
Speaker 1: hundred jobs once it's finished. And who did they use
33:05
Speaker 1: as the spokesperson have hustle will travel Eric Adams. Listen
33:10
Speaker 1: to how he was greeted. Anyway, he was booed. Listen
33:19
Speaker 1: to how he was greeted. He gets on to the
33:32
Speaker 1: so he's at the local library. He can't even get
33:35
Speaker 1: three words out of his mouth. They all know why
33:37
Speaker 1: he's there. They don't want this AI data filing center.
33:40
Speaker 1: They've been bribed before, offered all kinds of things, but
33:44
Speaker 1: they figured, what do we got to lose, We'll send
33:46
Speaker 1: in Eric Adams. He got booed off the stage, jumped
33:49
Speaker 1: in a stretch limo, and I think headed back to Milwaukee.
33:52
Speaker 1: That's the former mayor. The president mayor was making the rounds.
33:57
Speaker 1: Was National crime out last night and he ended up
34:02
Speaker 1: towards the end of the night in Midland Beach in
34:04
Speaker 1: the south shore of Staten Island, and he couldn't get
34:07
Speaker 1: two steps out of the suv and he got a
34:11
Speaker 1: chorus of booze.
34:27
Speaker 2: He was getting heckled. I don't like that. One guy
34:30
Speaker 2: was booing, but he was getting heckled.
34:32
Speaker 1: It sounds oh yeah, most of the crowd there and
34:34
Speaker 1: expected again he handles it well. I can tell you
34:37
Speaker 1: I saw him booed at the Bronx Dominican Day Parade
34:40
Speaker 1: by the supporters of Espayad.
34:43
Speaker 4: This was his.
34:44
Speaker 1: Going away farewell and man, they were booing him. They
34:47
Speaker 1: called him a trader because he had promised he would
34:50
Speaker 1: endorse Espayot for re election and he didn't. He just smiles,
34:54
Speaker 1: he waves, he's oblivious to any of that. But the
34:57
Speaker 1: former mayor he gets booed. The mayor now he gets booed.
35:01
Speaker 1: And everyone coming to my door yesterday on the upper
35:04
Speaker 1: West side because they wanted to take off those green
35:06
Speaker 1: stickers that were being put on their windows because alternate
35:10
Speaker 1: side of the street parking.
35:11
Speaker 4: Hey, you didn't vote for me, Now you want my help? Huh,
35:15
Speaker 4: Now you want my help?
35:17
Speaker 3: Oh fah, what do you gotta get over this election
35:20
Speaker 3: never because it's a election that doesn't go away anyway.
35:25
Speaker 4: What about camping out? You're the four h guy, Larry.
35:28
Speaker 3: We talked about the opportunity to camp into New York
35:31
Speaker 3: City Park. But this morning's talkback winner, who also scores
35:35
Speaker 3: a Curtis Leewa and Larry Menti in the morning t shirt,
35:38
Speaker 3: doesn't appear ready to embrace the great outdoors.
35:42
Speaker 8: You guys didn't even mention coming back to your tent
35:45
Speaker 8: and finding crackheads and squatters and people using your tent
35:51
Speaker 8: for bathrooms and just living in there, pushing your stuff
35:55
Speaker 8: out of keeping your stuff.
35:57
Speaker 2: This is New York. It's not a real place.
36:00
Speaker 3: Ah the great outdoers of New York. And remember the
36:03
