Hour 1: Massive wildfires in Europe · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Seems every time I look at the news of Lake
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: it's almost like the song fire by Ohio Players. Fire everywhere. Fire,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: as you know, we were dealing with coming down from
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Canada all across the northern part of their nation, Fire
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: in California, fire in Oregon, fire in Washington, and now
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: maybe the most serious fires of all, as three hundred
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: thousand people on the border of Spain and France have
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: been told to evacuate because firestorms are coming their way.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: One will be to the area Bordeaux where there are
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: all those vineyards and wineries that so many of you
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: out there love so much. They're in danger, possibly being
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: turned into toast. And even the city of Madrid, although
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: not as serious a situation, but fires are moving in
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: the direction already. The fires have burnt three times the
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: size of what Paris is and they're not showing any
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: diminished capacity. There's strong winds and they're getting dry thunderstorms.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Very much what we had discussed Larry when we were
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: talking about Canada, that many of those fires with the
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: result of a thunderstorm with no rain, just lightning, and
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: the lightning hits and it hasn't been rain there and
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: you have timber there and you have brushed there and
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: then all of a sudden a firestorm takes place. And
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: since May, as we know, we were discussing the heat
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: waves first in Europe, before we even talked about how
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: they clobbed us here. How temperatures in many parts of
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Europe were over one hundred degrees. Ten thousand people died
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: because they don't utilize air conditioning. It's only like ten
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: percent of all of France that has air conditioning, little
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: more on some of the other trees, but still they
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: haven't gotten upgraded. And it was the hottest June on
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: record that Europe has ever had.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is much different than Canada. If you're wondering
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: why a lot of people are paying more attention to
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: this fire and not to Canada, because in France alone,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: almost two hundred and fifty thousand people have been displaced.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: So this is threatening homes and communities. And I remember
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: in Canada in the northeast it's pretty desolate, and not
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: only that, but it happens a lot. So that's why
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: everybody is responding to this one. I mean, look at
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: we're talking about major cities that are being threatened if
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: this continues to go out of control. So the United
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: States is going to help out all throughout Europe. They
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: have equipment going there. They have to beat this down
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: pretty quickly. Or here's the problem. At this point, there's
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: there hasn't been death, but there's gonna be people dying.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I mean there's already people displaced. There's gonna be homes
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: they're gonna be that are gonna be burnt to the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: That's how That's where they're at right now. This is
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: a dire situation. So if you're wondering about, oh, why
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: are they talking so much about Europe and not what's
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: going on in Canada, that's the reason this is extremely
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: serious in Europe right now.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: And this happens on the cusp of Barcelona once again,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: the other side of the country saying no mos nomas,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: we don't want any more tourists. Two years in a
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: row they've been overwhelmed with tourism. I never heard of
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: a city, Larry and all my they welcome tourists.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Don't worry.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: It will have Airbnb, We've got hostels. We'll figure out
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: a place for you to say, because.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: You're bringing money in.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Apparently Barcelona is such a destination that people want to
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: go that they're overwhelmed, and for the second year in
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: a row in Spain, in Barcelona again the other side
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: of the country where the fires are taking place, they
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: have basically said, we don't want the cruise lines coming in,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: we don't want the airplanes coming in with tourists.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: We've had enough hand handle anymore. Yeah, the US State
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Department has a warning out as well. It's not up
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: to red, but they have a warning to be careful
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: going there, and a lot of the airlines have had
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: to divert their flights around the smoke. I mean there's
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: not even just going to Paris on Madrid, they have
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: to divert around the smoke. So this is extremely serious
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: and at this point they still don't have it under control.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: And so it's something that you know, we're kind of
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: early on because it's not getting the coverage that it
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: should be getting right now. But once this starts spreading,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: because right now it's not under control, if it keeps spreading,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: it it gets a more populated area. This is going
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: to be the biggest story in the globe.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: You want it a weigh in Italy. No, I was
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: just going to.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Talk about Barcelona and how crazy it is with tourism.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: My son lived there for a month about a year
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: and a half ago for school, and he said that
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: the residents there they you know, in the apartment buildings,
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: they all have banners they hang from their windows and
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: you know they're they're kind people, and they they didn't
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: mind the tourism. They didn't mind you know Americans. But
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: it was evident. First of all, it is packed.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Well they've had demonstrations.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're all over, but just like the everyday people
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: have signs in their windows about it.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: It's funny, Mike. As you know, my son and my
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: wife were there last summer and they went to Spain
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: and they went to Portugal. That's probably why they didn't
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: go to Barcelona. They didn't go to Barcelona. Yeah, it was.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: It was fascinating. They liked Portugal a lot. By the way, I.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Know, I haven't been there.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Everybody says it's wonderful it is to get there.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I have Guardian angels in Barcelona to deal with the
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: pickpockets in their subway.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: My son's friend standing next to him, great off his neck.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: They are everywhere everywhere in Barcelona because they know it's
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: the tourist trap. And they know that they're going to
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: be able to rob tourists and get away with it.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: But there's one fact that nobody's talking about with these fires.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I didn't understand maybe why they didn't mention it with
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Canada because it was so far north as they swept
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: across the country. But this is Europe. These are populated areas.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Three hundred thousand people are being told to evacuate between
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: France and Spain. And I'm thinking back to the fires
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: that consume the Palisades because of the area in question
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: of Los Angeles. Even though Los Angeles County has been
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: hit with all kinds of fires before, nothing was comparable
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: to this. Remember seven thousand homes destroyed, burnt to the ground,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: twenty five billion dollars in damages, and one thing there
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: that took place. And I gotta believe it's happening in
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: France and Spain in populated areas. Remember the pyromaniacs, the arsonists,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: you know, they get excited, they get a psycho sexual
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: thrill in a stimulation when they see fire. And then
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: there are copycats. And I take this back to when
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I was going up in Kanarsi, and there were lots
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: there before the subdivisions, and they'd always be one or
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: two guys who would go out there and set the
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: lots on fire, and they would be the ones to
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: pull the old fire alarm, remember how you had the
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: fire alarm right on the telephone pole, And they'd be
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: standing waiting for the fired trucks to come in. And
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: then the fire marshals would come through the neighborhood afterwards
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: and they'd say, hey, hey, hey, hey, kid, you see
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: anybody standing.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: By that fire alarm over there.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: You know this alarm was pulled, And I'd say, you
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: know me, I rat them out right away.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, man, that was Freddy. Man. It's like the
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: third time Freddy's done this. So here it is.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: You get these pyromanniac pyromaniacs and arsonists. We know in
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: California they've set a lot of fires and they wouldn't
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: be setting fires in Europe. It's like they have pedophiles.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: We have pedophiles. They have rapists, We have rapists. They
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: have pyromaniacs and arsonists. We have pyromaniacs and arsonists. Yeah,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: it's not always a pyromaniac though. Even though most of
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: these fires are man made, it's people camping out and
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: not putting, you know, not dousing the fire, leaving the
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: fire on. It's people throwing a cigarette into some leaves.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: It's it's people doing stupid things that many almost all
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: of the wildfires in New Jersey that are hit in
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: New Jersey, that's all from some idiot that's going out
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: and didn't put out their campfire. By the way, in France,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: there are the hospitals are being filled with people with
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: breathing problems because the smoke. They've distributed two point five
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: million face masks, and it's not unusual in many of
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: the French cities to see people walking around with face masks.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: That's like apocalyptic stuff. Oh yeah, but remember the Palichege fire.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: The guy who was caught and admitted, Jonathan rinder Mack,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: was thirty. He set the fire on New Year's Eve,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: he admitted when he was caught. Just remember this fire
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: killed twelve people, destroyed seven thousand homes. He said, it
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: was me. You know, I have dual citizenship. I'm part French,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: I'm part American. I'm an uber driver. I have no
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: family to go to on New Year's Eve, so I
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: set a fire. Right slam done. He's admitted it.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Well, guess what.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: He went on trial and a lot of people were
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: paying attention to it because this was right in the
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: midst of Spencer Pratt's attempt to become the next mayor
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: of the city of Los Angeles. Remember he who lost
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: his home along with his other neighbors, burnt to the ground.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: He was ready to plead guilty and do forty five years.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: His defense attorney said no, no, no, no, no, no, no no.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: And guess what he ended up. It was a hung jury.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: They said he reported the fire, which is true. But
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: this is what pyromaniacs an arsonist do. Like I was
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: telling you Freddy who pulled the fire alm because he
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: got excited watching the flames and the fire trucks come.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: A California jury, Uh was hung on this.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: You're saying it was hung? Do you know what The
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: number was? No ten ac quitting two guilty. So they
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: got him on retrial. What you say to yourself, You've
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: admitted to it.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: You admitted that you reported the fire and you watched,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: you know, the fire.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Right except depleted not guilty? Yes, And initially he said
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: he did not do it, And they played over and
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: over again that recording that he said he did not
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: do it, claiming that he was framed.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, California justice, you get, no justice he got.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: I thought we were bad in New York, right, but
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: can you imagine that? No, and ten to two, I mean,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: my god. And then other arsonists came out.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Remember you had the guy in North Hollywood was riding
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: around on his bicycle who was taking the uh you know,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: the excel you use for your barbecue and sprinting, sprinking,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: you know, spritzing it on existing fires.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: And the citizens surrounded them.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: We were ready to rip them limb by limb until
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: the police arrived to take them away.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Oh man, I'll tell you what. We were both busy
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: this weekend. Luckily nothing like fires, but both of us
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: were busy.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: I was. I was.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I was a pit boss. Not in Atlantic City. You'd
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: think it was a different kind of pit boss, but no,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I was running the pit crew Formula one, Formula one, yeah, DC.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Oh man, we gotta follow the trials and tribulations of
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Larry next. But meantime, we're gonna give you a chance
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: today to see the deep or to see deep purple
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: and Kansas. That's at eight twenty five. But I had
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: conversations with people over the weekend because hearing the advertisements
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: that I do for incognity, get a pad and you
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: want to write it down because it doesn't matter who
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: you are or where you are. You probably know of
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: some of these stories if you yourself, family, your friends
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: weren't affected by it. There are scam texts and spam
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: texts and emails flooding your phone.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: They're not random.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Scammers buy your personal information, and data brokers are the
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: ones selling it. Data brokers collect your name, address, phone number,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: even the meds you take, and your income. Then they
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: package it up and sell it to anyone willing to
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: buy it, including criminals. Yeah, it's legal. That's why you
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: got to use in Coogni. That's in cognate I use it.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: You got to take back your privacy and safety. And
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Cognity contacts hundreds and hundreds of data brokers on your
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: behalf and legally demands a delete your personal data.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: But then they pay whack them mole.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: If they see it re emerged, they go back after
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: them with a vengeance and in Cogni make sure your
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: data is gone for good. The result less spam, fewest
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: spam calls, and scam calls and a lot less of
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: your personal information floating around the Internet like it's Clarence merchandise.

  Speaker 1: Sacrane Radios deliver the reception and clarity you deserve, So
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Curtis on Sunday, my wife and my kids. But you know,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: my wife is a talk radio host in Philadelphia, and
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: there's stations down there, a group of stations down there,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: including the talk stations she's at. We're putting together this
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: bike ride from Philadelphia on one side of the Ben
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Franklin Bridge. You go up to Ben Franklin Bridge, you
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: go down, and then you drive all the way to
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Atlantic City.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: So you know, I had to go through Northern Camden.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: You would need a bulletproof body condom to get through there.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Well you have to go through a little bit of
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Northern Camdon because but understand this whole charity, this is
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: what was so cool about it. This charity that they're
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: riding for is called Families Behind the Badge and it
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: raises money for families who had a police officer killed.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: And they raised over two hundred and fifty thousand dours
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and and it was it was amazing how many people
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: there were. But so so my two sons did it,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: and my wife did it, and I knew my limitations
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: and I said I ain't doing it. I said what
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: I'll do because I what's that? And I kept trying
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: to push me. I said, I'm not doing it. I'm
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: just not doing it. I said, I I don't want
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: to hurt that much. The next day, I don't bike
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: ride by the way, none of you really bike ride.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: And the only one that's in shape is one of
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: my sons, which I knew. I knew would do well.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: So I said, I'll be the pit crew. I'm gonna
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I'll be in the car just in case anything goes wrong.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: I was just like the Tour de France where they
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: follow and you know that you blow out tires.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: And he's handing out water bottles. Is that what it
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: was like? Not at all. So what I did is
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: I drove to the first There was stops.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Along the way, you know where they'd fix your bike
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: if it broke, and they got they had free food
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: for you in water, and so it was really nice.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: So I went to the first stop. Medi I get
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: phone calls immediately. My son, who was by the way,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I was tracking him on my phone, was doing really well.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking he is he in the front because he
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: went he would flying over the bridge.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: He was.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: My wife was still making it up the bridge. He
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: was gone, he was past Candide.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: He abandoned his moms. Yes, yeah, just took off.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: I thought they're supposed to be like teams, you know,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: this way they could glide together and at the very
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: end then they go.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Chances are his mom abandoned him because she loves being
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: out with Feds. So trust me, she was talking to them,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: she was riding with them. She wasn't even really paying
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: attention to what she was doing. Poor kid, his his
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: bike that we bought for him just for this race.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: He hit a bad spot in the road and then
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: he continued riding, not knowing his tire was flat and
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: he ruined the rim and everything. So I had to
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: go pick him up. Turns out, for the rest of
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: the day I was picking people up. I didn't know
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: i'd be needed. I said I'd do this. I didn't
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: know what was really going to have be a job.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: It was like a job the rest of the day.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: My son was having some problems with his insulin. We
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: had to run the CVS. My wife was having problems.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I had to go pick her up. So constantly all
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I was doing was babysitting this entire thing. It was awful.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be the easiest job in
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: the world.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: It was. It was hard. He's exhausted today. I didn't
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: even do the bike rid. Hey, I salute you, Larry.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: You were there for.
• 17:33

• 17:37

• 19:06
  Speaker 1: riding back from a bodega. And so we're gonna get
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: the latest on that when we come back. Curtis, by
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: the way, went up there. Eating is one of the
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: most baysick things we do. But behind every meal, your
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: body is carrying out thousands of invisible calculations. Usually you
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: never even think about this until something goes wrong. Check
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: out the podcast All about it search for Eating interrupted
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: on the free iHeartRadio app.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: So welcome back. There was a shooting at a bodega.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna let Curtis take this because Curtis was actually
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: up there as he is many times when anything like
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: this happens. So Curtis fill us in.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I was up there for the annual Bronx
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Do Minigan Day parade on the Grand Concourse, which always
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: has problems towards the end from Dominican gang bangers. That's
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: an area that won time, which predominately Puerto Rican. Many
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: of them have moved on up, moved on out, and
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: the predominant group now there is Dominicans. So where this occurred,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: which was right on the corner of Elliott Place, like
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: a block from the Grand Concourse, in the mount eating
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: section at the Wanda Bodega that's the name of it.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: A lot of bodegga's in that area. A lot of
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: young men hang out morning, noon and night. Some of
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: them involved with drugs, different hustles. A lot of gang
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: bangers having beef with one another. Twenty Tadrios is the
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: main one. They'll fight with one another. They have different sects.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: So what happened. Is you have this twelve year old boy, Jacob,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: who was gifted a bicycle on Friday. Now he's loving it. Yeah,
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: he's twelve years old. He's riding all over. He's friends
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: with all the neighbors, even the bad guys who are
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: hanging out and oh there marvel o great bicycle.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Nobody bothers him. You know.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: His father is a retired at NYPD sergeant, comes from
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: a good family. So he goes to the ball they
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: get to buy a ball because he loves, like most
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Dominican kids, to play any form of baseball, stickball, hit it.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: With a bat. I mean, they'll hit a can, they'll
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: hit a sock. They just love baseball.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: And he's outside and it's about five point thirty on Saturday.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: They're already pre celebrating the Dominican parade that's going to
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: take place the next day. And these what look like
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: young man, teenagers, young adults are now fighting in the street.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: They're scrapping, you know, hitting each other, kicking each other,
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: and he's just staring. He's not getting involved. Somebody pulls
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: out a gun, fires a number of shots. One of
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: the shots hits him in the shoulder and the poor
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: young man, Jacob crawls into the bodega immediately. They get
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: him help from nearby Bronx Levin and Hospital which is
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: right there, but they couldn't save his life. Two others
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: got shot, thirty four year twenty five year old. They
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: survived and meantime the police moved very quickly.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: And made an arrest.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: And the guy was a forty five year old guy
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Ferrer who lived in the area, who had a number
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: of prior arrests. This is the first time he got
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: hit with a gun charge. It's assumed that he's part
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: of the gang mentality in that area. And so I
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: did a video which I posted on my personal Instagram
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: in which I said, look in the seventies when I
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: started the group here, it was guns and gangs. In fact,
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: I had one Guardian Angel killed and one shot while
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: on a patrol not just a few blocks from there,
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: when they were looking for a child who was missing
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: with their mother. They had no hesitation as savage nomads
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: at that time. Was a gang shot. The one guy dead,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Guardian Angel, and the other one almost killed them.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: I don't know of a time.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Where there hasn't been guns and gangs in that area
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: the eighties and nineties and now twenty twenty six, and
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: it never gets prioritized because it's the Bronx. So everybody
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: is gonna be pointing fingers and blaming one another as
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: to why this continues. I don't care who the mayor is,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: from de Blasio to Adams to now Zoran Mandani. Even
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: under Ruty, things were better, but the Bronx generally still
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: had problems. And likewise with Bloomberg, it's the forgotten Burl
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: and it will continue to happen again and again and
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: again because the gangs really do, especially after five the
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: gang ruless streets.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it does matter who the mayor is. I mean,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: not necessarily Mamdanni, but of a democratic mayor that believes
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: in no cash bail, that puts people right back on
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: the street even when they commit the most heinous crimes
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: that are light on sentencing that it's very difficult to
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: charge because of the evidence that's allowed. I mean the
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: fact that you have city after city after city, and
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: they all are major demomocratic cities with so many soft
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: on crime policies and embolden's criminals.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, there's no doubt, there's no doubt.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: But again, knowing the history there, they just remember, this
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: is your right of passage to be a gang banger
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: is you got to get a notch on your belt.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: You got to shoot somebody. If you kill him, even better,
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: they don't mind going in and out of jail. It's
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: sort of like Stripes. There was a young man not
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: long ago who was shot and killed one hundred and
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: eighty thirty, young Dominican boy who was in the police corps.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: You know these are cadets. Yeah, and Trinity Tadeo thought
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: that he was somebody else, another gang member. You may
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: have remembered the video. They dragged him inside of the bodega.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Nobody in the bodega would help him. They stabbed him repeatedly.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: He bled out on the sidewalk. And this happens from
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: time to time as long as the gang's rule. This
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: is what's going to But put him in jail.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, look at I don't want to ca I
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: don't want to sound like a broken record, but it's
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: the fact that it's been happening for so long and
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: nobody fixes it, and everybody accepts it, and those who
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: even want to fight it say, ah, it's just always
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: going to be that way, people just throw their hands
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: up in the air.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: It shouldn't be this with us.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: We should be talking about this every single day, because
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: every single day somebody dies. Twelve year old Jacob Fred
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: shouldn't have died. He should have been able to go
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: to the store and ride his bike, There's no doubt
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: But when you're the Forgotten Borough and it's not Manhattan,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: it doesn't get the same attention. It's unfortunate.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the guy's riding around on a BMW with
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: no license plate. Why isn't he stopped? I mean, and
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I've heard that they just don't stop people without license
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: plates because it's too dangerous to stop somebody without a
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: license plate. So people are just lawless. They're allowed to
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: be lawless. And that's it's not like that everywhere, And
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: people in New York think, oh, that's just the way
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: it is. It's not like that everywhere. It doesn't have
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: to be like that. You have to watch who you
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: vote for. Curtis, you know you would have you would
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: have brack down on this.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Well, because I'm used to it. I know what contributes
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: to this, I know how to deter it. Jar and
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Mandami didn't Obviously Andrew Cuomo, the author of No Cash Bail,
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: he certainly didn't know how to deal with it.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: But the people made their choice, so now we must suffer.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's not just the choice of Mamdani. It's
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: the choice of the Blasio. It's going back, it's you know,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: it's choice after choice after choice after choice. Because people
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: seem to not care anymore, they hear a story like
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: this and they go, well, it's the Bronx. Oh well,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: it's just another night in New York. It doesn't have
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: to be that way. You gotta smarten up, and you
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: gotta wise up, and you got to vote better.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Well up next. That was the bad news.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: The flip side of it is that Larry, he was
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: warning us beware the boardwalks on the Jersey shore right
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: after Memorial Day.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: But a miracle has happened.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I hope that you're not jinching this, Larry,
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: when we come back for your no Larry. Way back,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: even before Memorial Day, there was an outbreak of a
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: young men young women storming the beaches at Long Branch,
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: and I said, man, I wanted to go out of
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: there because I had unfinished business. One day, I had
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: given a presentation in the auditorium of Long Branch High
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: School and they booed me, and I was really mixing
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: it up with them, and I was like hitching, and
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: I'm assuming if it happened in Long Branch, it happened
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: in some other places. And you were sort of like
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Paul Revere to a degree, warning us, oh man, it
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: could be a rough summer. But you bring to our
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: attention this morning that it's peace and all is quiet
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: on the Western Front.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: It's been kind of amazing. And we're talking about well,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Cape May never really had any problems. Cape May was
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: always been pretty pretty quiet, yes, and drink, so I
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: started Wildwood rather than starting at Cape May. From Wildwood
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: up to Long Branch that had their own problems. You
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: mentioned one even before the summer started.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: It's been quiet. It's been really quiet.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: And look at in talk radio we talk about the
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: problems all the time. You know, we had problems the
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: last several summers for BACKX the last decade where there
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: was some deaths, there was gang fights, there was problems,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: there was takeovers of the beaches. One woman in Ocean City,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: the family resort city, was almost raped on the beach
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: because of one of these crash parties, you know, and
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: so now nothing. It's incredible. You know, Long Beaches had
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: a total of six arrests.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Six.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: They normally have over.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: One hundred during the summer season.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Wildwood, Wildwood that lives up to its name all the time.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: It's probably the worst of the worst.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Really nothing. They're way down to And let me tell
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: you what they've done, and it's very smart. There was
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: a three point plan. Nobody on the beaches, and they
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: have police walking beach is a lot of police and
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: they have cars with lights on them on the beaches.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Nobody on the beaches after dark. Smart, brilliant curfews, some
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: as early as ten o'clock. If you're under a fear
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: in a certain age bracket, if you're like between sixteen
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: and twenty one off the breach, you got to get
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: off the beach. Cops are asking for ID all of
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: the time, and more police officers. Almost every one of
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: these communities has brought in more police officers. So you
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: can understand. Listen, why we're not talking about it. But
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: here's the thing. We should talk about it when they
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: do the right thing. We should talk about it when
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: they're safe. If there's a major problem, and they fix it.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: They deserve our compliment and our congratulations. So up and
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: down the Jersey Shore. And I understand we're not done
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: with the summer yet. And I understand it's not a curse.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: I know you think I might be jinxing it, but
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: so look at I don't see anything happening. I mean,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: it's been pretty amazing. I've been the wild with this summer.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: I saw a huge change. I've been to Ocean City.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: I was the Seaside Heights walking the boardwalk. There's been
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: a major change, a major change on those boardwalks. It
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: just feels safer. It's incredible.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: So, Larry, I hope you haven't jinxed the rest of
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: the summer too. Labor Day, but wow, I would have
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: predicted based on what I saw on Long Branch. You know,
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: obviously from the videos that was even before Memorial Day
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: that they were getting all ginned up, you know, flash
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: mobbing so easy to do. But obviously local law enforcement,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: the county law enforcement has come together and cracked down
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: on and that's good. But you still you have one
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: thing that you have to do, Larry. I saw last
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: week there was a publication that put out the ten
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: top nudist beaches in America, and your favorite one point
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: pleasure was rated six point pleasant?
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: Could we back off?
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: There was a.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: More important than that. I don't have a favorite nude beach.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: I don't have a favorite. I don't got a nude beach.
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: No, but I don't think it was point pleasant. I
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: think that's the one up in Sandy Hook, Sandy Hook whatever.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm just saying I'm not the jersey.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: But they're rated number six and this will really store
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: them up. Because the last time you went down there
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: when you were a reporter for Eyewitnessed News Channel seven, right, Yeah,
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: you were hunting down a story and they all bum
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: rushed you and they were challenging you. What the hell
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: are you doing on the beach?
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: You freak you?
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Why you're you left out the most important thing. They
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: were all naked, yes, exactly. So they were coming at me.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: You know, there was like they were chundry at me,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: and they were flopping as they were running and they're

  Speaker 1: coming at me and it's like a nightmare.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: It's like a night there.

• 32:19
  Speaker 1: at me, I said, put the camera down. Put the
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: camera down, because then they then it would have gotten
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: really nasty.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: So I can imagine that some of them remember that
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: situation because they've been lifelong naturalists, as they call them,
• 32:32
