  Speaker 1: Now it's sevent ten wars fed on the street with
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Natalie Migliori.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Natalie from the mean, tough street of the Beg. N
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: wise she up here to the air conditioned sweets of
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: iHeart seven to ten wr What do you got for
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: us today?
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: Well, there is a growing petition online started by some
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: nine to eleven families who want Mayor Mom Donnie excluded
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: from the ceremony commemorating the twenty fifth anniversary of that
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: deadly day. Now, the change dot org petition has surpassed
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: forty thousand signatures as of this morning, with organizers raising
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: concerns about the mayor's public positions and his associations. So
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: some New Yorkers they've heard about this petition going around.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's people having their tang yank to
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: in areas we probably don't need their tang yancit in
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: this moment.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: I'm not surprised at all because there's a lot of
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: dump people. Well why because he's Muslim. It's offensive.
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: I know a lot of his moves are really controversial,
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: and some people look at it as if he you know,
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: he's against New York, but he's looking out for a
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: particular set of people. So I think he should be
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: able to attend as long as he keeps his comments
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: himself and leave it at that, all right.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Some of those controversial opinions, according to petition organizers, include
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: praising up Brooklyn and Mom, who was allegedly a co
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: conspirator in the nineteen ninety three World trade attacks. Will
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: also endorsing candidates like Aberkowas, who has somewhat brushed off
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: the significance of the day. This New Yorker says he
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: sees the hypocrisy because.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: He's always saying that everyone should be treated equal and
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: no one should be targeted. But then what he does
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: seems to know, not say, but what he does seems
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: to like support the people who are saying they're targeted socialists.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: I think that's just ridiculous. Honestly, I feel like if
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: the mayor wants to go, he should.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: I feel like if he didn't care about it, he
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: would to be the mayor of New York right now.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Nine to eleven families say the day is not just
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: about this public ceremony that happens, but a deeply personal
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: day of mourning. And I've been down there on nine
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: to eleven. It is just this day where people come
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: together and we've had, you know, in the past, officials
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: show up or political figures show up and sort of
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: people say, well, they're using it to their advantage. Right now,
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: they're urging organizers to consider if the mayor's presence would
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: align with what the ceremony means. But this New Yorker
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: thinks these petition organizers may be getting a little too
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: caught up.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: You know, between Democrats and Republicans, they're both pretty well
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: greased at chain Yankee. When you're in pain, it's hard
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and it's and it's tough to forgive and forget and
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: see the world differently. And I think we've.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Got to do that work.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: And I feel for them, But I don't think taking
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: out on mom Donnie and allowing yourself to be used
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: as a political tool is going to help you in
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: your morning.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Now, have either one of you put your names on
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: that petition? Would you put your name on that petition?
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: No, I don't count the families. Count the family scout.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: If there's four hundred families that are asking him to
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: stay away, then he should stay away.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Well, he's not going to stay away. First off, every
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Muslim who voted for him put him over the top.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: There's a million who can now vote. They're going to
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: say you have to go. You're the first Muslim mayor.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: So I recommended something that the families could do because
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: they are not Islamophobes. They're not doing this because they
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: hateful of Muslims. It's just turn your back. It's been
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: done before, was done to build a Blasio. When the
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: two police officers were executed while sitting in their patrol
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: car and bedstide, he decided to go to a global
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: conference in Berlin, came back the day of the funeral,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: and they very politely turned their backs on him, and
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: boy that resonated all over the world. Deblasio could never
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: escape that the rest of his mayoralty. So there are remedies.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: But he will show up, There's no doubt.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: No I think he will show up too. He shouldn't.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: He shouldn't even have a say. This isn't his, this
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: is not for him. This is for these families.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: But there are people who have showed up in the past,
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: right like the president. At the time it was controversial
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: for them. Do you feel as though it politicizes this
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: event when any political figure shows up.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: That's a great point. I wish they didn't. I wish
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: it was just the families. You're right, and I wish
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: it was just the police force. And I just wish
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: it was the fire department. They this is their day
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: of memory. It's not a politician's both member.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: It was a little bit of that, not as much,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: not in the other with the Bush family, because as
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: soon as the towers came down, they made sure that
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: all the Saudis will put on a jet and flew
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: back to Saudi Arabia. No explanations were ever given to us,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: and there is a sentiment amongst some of the family
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: members that the Saudis were at the heart of this,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: and some mimbors of the royal family in fact, were
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: aiding in a betting the hijackers and the killers of
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: those Americans.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Let's just remember that they loved Bush when he was
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: on the pile, and he said, the whole world's going
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: to hear from us very soon. So I don't think
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: that the nine to eleven families have the same feeling
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: about the Bush family as they do about Mom Donnie.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: There was no call for him to stay away. There
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: is a call for Mom Donnie to stay away, and
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: I wish he would listen. I wish he would just say,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: you know what, out of fairness because up and asked
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: not to be there. I'm not going to be there,
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: but he won't.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: But you didn't support him, so he's going to do
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: what is supported say. They're gonna say you better show up,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: especially the Muslims who voted for him. You're the first.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: But excellent job, great responses. It was like a pot pourrie.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Very intelligent boy. You're getting more and more intelligent responses.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Thank you,
