Hour 1: Flock Cameras Are A Political Issue · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Larry, Natalie, and our audience, just a quick update. If
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: you happen to take the A, B, C, or D
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: lines for work, don't even bother today. They've had a
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: cracked track, and this is extraordinarily serious. I can only
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: tell you because I've seen work crews before. These are
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: the guys, you know, they go down into the tracks.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: It's like they're lifting the tracks up, and you really
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: got to be strong. Well, some of these tracks have cracked.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: And this is what's going to happen over time if
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: they're not replaced. So guess what? There's no A service,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: no B service, no C service, no D service.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Just take the numbered lines. Where's all that congestion pricing
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: money going? Good question.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: I thought that was supposed to fix it. It was
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: all for infrastructure, wasn't it?
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: No, but it's... I've seen that when they replace a track,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: you know, and you can see it's cracked because, boy,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: you know, if it isn't detected and removed, a whole
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: train could go off the track. And, oh, my God,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the potential problems from that. So, hey, just a heads up,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: because when I was coming in today, I was on
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the number one train. And I already saw the MTA
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: money-taking agency agents telling people avoid taking the A, B, C,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: or D because the tracks have cracked.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: I've never heard that before. No, but it makes you think.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Immediately, I'm like, we need a major audit of MTA.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: We need to know where all this money is going
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: to because it obviously is not going to fix the tracks.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is a crack in the wall of
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Governor Hochul because, remember, she's in charge of the MTA.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: It's a state agency, especially when it comes to repair
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and maintenance. This is a good opportunity for Bruce Blakeman.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to move in on her on this and say, how
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: could all these tracks be cracking? Where's the normal maintenance?
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Where's the normal replacement of the track?
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's her problem, and it's Kathy's congestion pricing, too.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: This is her tax on all of us.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Now, let me ask you a situation that may be
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: a problem for everybody in New Jersey because luckily I
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: have three boys, and I guess the old tradition still
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: survives with some families that when there is a marriage,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the father, the mother of the bride.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Pays most of the expenses. Is that still the tradition,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: would you say? And the father of the son chips in.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: They usually come forward and they say, hey, we can
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: play for the limos, we can pay for the flowers,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: you know, the cheap stuff.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Cheap stuff, exactly.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: And Natalie, do you find that to be true, that
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the bulk of the expense is borne by the family.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Of the bride?
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you'd think we'd gotten past that by now, but no,
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: it still seems that the bride's family does take a big,
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: big part of the responsibility of the payment of a
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: very expensive wedding.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: So they just did a survey. I couldn't believe this
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: when I read it. I read it like four times
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: that the most expensive state to get married in is
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: your state of New Jersey.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: And how much does it cost?
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: Average.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: $ 57, 000.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Average.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: I would love to have only paid $ 57, 000.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: That seems like.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: On the low side from some of the weddings I've
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: been hearing. We're going to have to talk to Natalie
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Migliore about that, who's the one going through. And actually,
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: I think her venue, I'm not sure what state it is.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: It could be in New Jersey. But that's.
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: Still ridiculous, by the way. The national average is $ 30, 000
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: to $ 36, 000.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, where could we go?
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: And this is quantified on the fact that you have
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: about 125 to 150 guests. They factor in the per-person catering.
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: By the way, is it an open bar most times?
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Yes. It is.
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: Oh, my gosh.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Arkansas, $ 11, 000 for a wedding.
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they're telling you to bring your own.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Well, it's because it's in-family. That's probably why, in Arkansas. Utah, 17,000. Oh,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: my God.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: We can lie to everybody there.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of marriages in Utah because Mormons.
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: There's none of this, oh, you can live together outside
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: of marriage. No, you're getting married. You know what, college?
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: This is really an interesting stat. Has the most marriages.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Like people married?
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Brigham Young University. Brigham Young University, BYU.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I was there at the football field
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: for Sean Hannity concert, you know, Great American concert. I
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: could not get any caffeine. I could not get Coca-Cola
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: at that time.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: I was addicted.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: They don't serve caffeine. You can't smoke cigarettes. They are
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: strict in that Mormon state.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, I know.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: Imagine no caffeine.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: You know about the magic underwear, right? Oh, yeah. Excuse me?
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: What?
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Mitt Romney had to spend time on the campaign
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: trail when he lost to Barack Obama explaining how much
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: time it takes for him to put on the magic
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: underwear each day.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Because when you are tempted to have sex, they want
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: your underwear very difficult to get off so you can
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: think about what you're doing, what you're about to do,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: the sin you're about to commit.
• 5:30
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: No way.
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: How did I miss that? Natalie. Well, thank God you
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: missed that. It is extensive.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Apparently, it's like being bound up with swaddling cloths and
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: appendages and all kinds of ace bandages.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: So we're just saying about like two minutes later, you're like, oh,
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: forget it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no.
• 5:54
  Speaker 9: It's not worth it.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: It's about 20 minutes to put on. 20 minutes. 20
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: minutes to a half hour to put on your underwear.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Like 60% of the BYU football team is married.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: They all run up to Vegas.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: I just saw a TikTok recently of two girls who
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: were going there. It was week two. They hold up
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: their hand with no ring with a sad face. Because
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: that was their only point of going there is to
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: find a husband.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: But let me bring you back to New Jersey here
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: because the last time we had an interview a discussion
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: about going to weddings, you know, the catering hall after
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the actual event. Larry was a bit in the blind
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: about the traditional booster bag. The booster bag helps offset
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the costs of the wedding by the donations that are
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: being made by, let's say, the guests here, 125 to 150.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Not in my family. There's no booster bag. No booster bag.
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but people are giving cash.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: They sit there and try to figure out how much
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: it all costs.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: That's what they're doing. Larry, Larry.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: You're not coming with a blender, are you?
• 7:01
  Speaker 9: I mean, you're giving.
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: Cash at a wedding, right?
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: What are you talking about?
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: When you go to a wedding as a guest, you
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: don't bring like a physical gift.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Do you? Yeah, but you give the money to the
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: bride and groom. Yeah, well, that's it. But that's not
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: the booster bag. Yeah, well, the booster bag is the
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: bride and groom.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, the booster bag is just a... An
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: outlet to cash it.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I guess what I'm saying is what about me?
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: What about the guy that paid for it? Maybe the
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: booster bag should be for me.
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: Should be yours. Larry, this is how it's done.
• 7:30
  Speaker 10: You're right.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: You're right. The wife, the new wife does not hold
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the booster bag. Neither does the groom because they're enjoying themselves.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: They're drinking. They may forget where the booster bag. It's
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: usually the most curmudgeon woman from that family. It could
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: be an aunt. It could be the mother-in-law. But, man,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: they're guarding that. They're guarding every envelope that goes into
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: that booster bag. So you're a guarantee. And I think
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the rule of thumb is, Natalie, and correct me if
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I'm wrong, is that you have to at least match
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: how much it costs for the dinner. So if the
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: dinner was like $ 175 up to $ 350, you got to
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: at least cover the cost of that.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: That's what they say around here that you should attempt
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: to do if you can. But first off, you have
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: no idea what the cost is. I mean, nobody really
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: knows it. And if I had to cover the cost
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: for the weddings I was going to, I wouldn't be
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: going to any of them because I wouldn't be able
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: to afford it. So, yeah, you know, you can't be
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: cheap these days. You're not coming with $ 100.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, you can be cheap these days. You have to
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: meet my family. Man, I can't believe we started the show.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I'm already ticked off. There's this bogus booster bag that
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: you're talking about where I pay for everything and.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Then the money is given to the bride and groom?
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: No, no, not the bride and groom. Usually one of
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: the elder women.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: No, I get that. But where does the money end up?
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, it goes to cover the expense of the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: wedding and then also a little bit of a cushion
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: for the brand new husband and bride.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Maybe to put a down payment on.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: a divorce attorney, because so many of these unfortunately end
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: up going their separate.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Ways within a year or more.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: You know, Jacoby and Myers, one hires Jacoby, the other
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: hires Myers.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, you know, I would love to know if anybody
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: out there ever went to a wedding that, you know,
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: ended quickly, divorce, I mean, ended quickly, and never got
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: money back. I'd love to know that. I've been to
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: bridal showers where the wedding never happened, and I got
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: the gift back.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I just looked up booster bag and it says nothing
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: about weddings.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: You know what it says? Larry, it's a booster bag.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: It's not a booster bag.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: In organized crime, there's a booster bag. Yeah, there is.
• 9:49
  Speaker 11: And they handle it like it's payments to organized crime. Oh,
• 9:53
  Speaker 11: so that's what it is. This is an organized crime
• 9:56
  Speaker 11: wedding you're talking about. No, they run it that way.
• 9:59
  Speaker 11: That means you have to... to pay a vig. You
• 10:02
  Speaker 11: have to pay for this wedding. And that's why it's important.
• 10:05
  Speaker 11: You have your name on the envelope and the family
• 10:08
  Speaker 11: will write it into the ledger. And then you could
• 10:11
  Speaker 11: be shamed if you don't even cover the cost.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Of your meal. You don't have any daughters, right?
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: Thank God I don't.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: And so far, nobody of marrying age. Anthony's my oldest.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I have three sons. It's Carter and Hunter. They are
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: not of marrying age. Normally, people don't get married now
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: until their 30s. You know, like Chris here, he's Gen Z.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: On loan for us from the Mark Simone show, because
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Natalie is still recovering at home from her knee surgery. Chris,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: your age group, generally, if they get married, it's in
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: their 30s, right?
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I only have one.
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: I have two friends that have been married so far,
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: and I'm 28.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Probably 29. Now, is your girlfriend hinting about weddings? No.
• 10:51
  Speaker 12: Marriage?
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: No.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: We've only been together for like six months. That's enough.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: That's a lifetime. Neither of us are in a position
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: financially to get married. Well, you can get the booster bag.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Nobody ever is.
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: No.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: The booster bag.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: We'll leave Natalie McLeory in this conversation.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: She would have a better idea. I'm telling you. That's
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: a good idea. Does she get a booster bag? Whatever
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: you call it. Probably. You think so?
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: There is no doubt about it.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: If I was with a woman for six months and
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: you always have to take her to visit your mom.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: my mother Francesca, no longer with us, would look at
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: me and say, Curtis, do you love this woman?
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: I'd say, yes, Mom. Then you must marry her. You
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: must honor her.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Because if you don't marry her after six months of
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: being together, of dating, then you are disparaging the name Sliwa.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: I felt guilty.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's why I got married so many times. I
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: became a serial marrier.
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: How could you say no to your mother? She's a saint.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's talk about weddings and the cost of weddings
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: and who pays.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: And if you've ever had, what do you say again,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: a booster bag?
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: A booster bag.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Go to the iHeartRadio app and leave us a talkback.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: You could win a Curtis Lee, win Larry Menti in

  Speaker 3: Oh, man.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: 25 years on the air in New York. One of
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: the most loved news anchors finally has hung it up.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Heidi Tong said goodbye last night. It was her last
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: newscast on WPIX.
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: But it's time to move on.
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: You know, I'm 80 years old now.
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: Nearly.
• 13:41
  Speaker 9: As you know, Shirley.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: 80 years young.
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: I'm feeling it.
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: I'm tired. And it's hard to make room for the
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: young bloods, right?
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she was born in China.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: 80 years old.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: If you had put a gun to my head and said,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: tell me how old Heidi Tong is, no way I.
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: Would have guessed 80 years old. She does not look 80.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, science is wonderful.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Now, you had an experience with her, right, when you
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: were at Eyewitness News Channel 7?
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Oh, sure.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: She had just started, I guess, a couple of years
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: before I got there. I got there in the mid-' 80s.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: She got there in the early-' 80s. And she was really nice.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: She was really kind to me. And as a matter
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: of fact, she was the first one to say, do
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: you want to go out to dinner?
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: And I said, sure.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: And I went out to dinner with her. And it
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: was pretty funny because someone came up to her when
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: I was sitting there and said— I love you on
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: the air. And she went, oh, thank you so much.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: And she said, and I love your husband. How is
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Maury doing? And she looked at him without missing a
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: beat and said, he beats me. So the woman mixed
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: her up with Connie Chung. And so the fact that
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: she had that line ready to go means she was
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: getting that all the time.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: All the time.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Because remember at that time, Chung, wife of Maury Povich,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: was a CBS.
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: Anchor, anchor on the national news.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: You know, she did news very similar to Kitey Tong,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: although Kitey Tong had just a great personality. But I
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: can imagine how many times that must have happened to her,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: you know, especially Maury Povich.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Who's the daddy? Remember, eventually? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who's the daddy?
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: He ended up running a production company and was extremely
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: successful at that. By the way, last night, a lot
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: of the people that worked during the week came in
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: to be with her, and she was surrounded by people
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: on the set. They gave her flowers, and Mr. G
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: spoke to her. I always loved her, and ever since
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I saw her, I thought she just captured me, but
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: then I realized she captured everybody.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, gosh.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: More.
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: More.
• 15:56
  Speaker 10: Who's next?
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: I love you all back.
• 16:02
  Speaker 12: Thank you so much.
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: This has been amazing.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: I'm overwhelmed.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: I'm trying not to cry.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: It was nice.
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: By the way, Mr. G, he must be about 90.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Mr. G's never going to stop working. He's going
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: to die on the set.
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: He was a teacher.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Was he really?
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: He was like a science teacher. He's the most talkative there.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: When you go up to WPIX Channel 11, Mr. G
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: will find you and regale you in stories of what
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: it was like when he was growing up.
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: I think he grew up in the Bronx.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: He's big with the New York City Marathon.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: I found that out the hard way because I had
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: to anchor the coverage for Superstorm Sandy.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: I had to. It was an honor to.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: And we were on for hours and hours and hours.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: And they were talking about your, if you.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Remember whether they were going to run the marathon at all,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: because it happened, the marathon was right after super storm Sandy.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: And I was saying on the air, yeah, they have to,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: they have to cancel it, man. that that set him off. Whoa,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: was he upset at me on that? We ended up
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: having like a mini argument like we have.
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: Oh, remember Bloomberg.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: On the set.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Same thing, Bloomberg said, oh, we got to cancel. And everybody,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: what do you mean cancel? No, that was a volatile moment.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: You are absolutely correct. And even though he's the weather guy, Mr. G,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: he would always jump in and give his opinions like
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: our own Warner Wolf that we'll be talking with in
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: the 7 o'clock hour. These are old timers who are
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: opinionated on a number of subjects.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: You're never going to keep them in a box. Let's
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: get a quick talk back in.
• 17:32
  Speaker 12: Hi, Larry and Curtis. This is Christine from Sound Beach,
• 17:35
  Speaker 12: New York. I have moved from the other station up
• 17:38
  Speaker 12: the dial to you because, not just because, Curtis, you're
• 17:42
  Speaker 12: on the show, but your format is so much better.
• 17:46
  Speaker 12: Combines local and national news. I love it. Keep up
• 17:50
  Speaker 12: the great work.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Oh, thanks.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: We have time for one real quick one. It's only
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: four seconds. It's about Nick Shirley, the independent journalist.
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: Nick Shirley should be doing the auditing on the MTA, Larry.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, great idea. Yep, yep.
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: Remember, that's Kathy Hochul's ballywick.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: It's really incumbent upon Bruce Blakeman to begin the attacks
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: on her, specifically on that. Although I will tell you
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: that what that first caller talked about is reflected in
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Barrett Media's piece about our show this morning.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: We'll see if we can get it posted.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: It's all about the differences between the kind of show
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: we do, the balance. And the lack of balance, really,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: in the rest should talk radio. Hey, Daria Albinger is
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: getting upset. She's looking at her watch. She throws her
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: hands in the air. So let's get to Daria Albinger
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: now with the 630 News.
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: But I'm throwing my hands in the air like I
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: do care. Not like I just don't care, because I
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: do care about you guys and about this show.
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: Love being here.
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: Mostly cloudy today. It will be on the muggy side.
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: A few showers possible and a high of 79 degrees.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: God is good.
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: God is great.
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: That's what Jesus Acosta said as he was arrested over
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: the weekend in two deadly shootings, one in Brooklyn and
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: one in the Bronx.
• 19:06
  Speaker 9: 31-year-old Jesus Acosta is under arrest. Police say on August
• 19:10
  Speaker 9: 23rd at American Best Wings and Pizza in Brownsville, Brooklyn,
• 19:14
  Speaker 9: Acosta shot and wounded Mohamed Rassel in the leg and
• 19:17
  Speaker 9: then shot Rassel's.
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: Co-worker, M.D.
• 19:19
  Speaker 9: Youssef, in the head. Youssef died. Two days later, at
• 19:22
  Speaker 9: 149 Grill in the Melrose section of the Bronx, cops
• 19:25
  Speaker 9: say Acosta shot a customer, Tavon Shuler, then stole cash
• 19:29
  Speaker 9: from the register. Shuler died. Police say Acosta has been
• 19:33
  Speaker 9: out on parole since April after serving 10 years in
• 19:36
  Speaker 9: prison for a 2015 Harlem subway shooting. Lisa Salvati, WOR News.
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: Acosta was arraigned yesterday on two counts of murder.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: The U.S.
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: And Iran launched strikes on each other overnight. The Strait
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: of Hormuz continues to be the sticking point in the conflict,
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: which has now been underway for more than six months.
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: A search continues for a hit-and-run driver who killed a
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: nurse in Brooklyn over the weekend. Police say it happened
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: about 7.30 in the morning Saturday in Sunset Park as
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: Jiayi Zheng was going home after her overnight shift at
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: NYU Langone Hospital. She was hit by a black Cadillac,
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: which appears to have been speeding and ran a red light. Well,
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: it may be a changing of the guard in pro
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: tennis right here in New York. Two legends are out
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: in the first round at the Open. Novak Djokovic fell
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: to Argentina's Mariano Navarone. In five sets last night, ESPN
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: got analyst and former pro John McEnroe's take on it.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: Unfortunately, all great things do eventually come to an end. Yes,
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: here's another cliche. Father time is undefeated, and it did
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: finally catch up. He got sick a couple times. It
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: looked like he may have cramped. The back was bothering him.
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: It all went south in the end.
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: And as we know, tennis players, once the knees go,
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: everything goes. And his knees were bugging him, too. Later on,
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: Venus Williams was beaten in straight sets by fellow American
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: and wildcard Sophia Kennan. Yankees beat Boston. Mets lose to Houston.
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: Next news, 7 o'clock bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: on 710WOR.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Well, we see that Greg Abbott, Republican governor of Texas,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: is taking the lead on moratoriums for AI data filing centers.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: And now he's doubled up on it. Moratoriums on flock cameras.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: We'll get into that up next. I want to tell you, though,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: now a story about a nurse on Long Island, age 38.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: She sold an old iPhone of hers on Facebook Marketplace.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Just one listing.
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: That was it.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, the guy who answered it was
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: a total stranger from New Jersey. Over the next three years,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: he found her phone number. Then he found her parents'
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: home address. Then he showed up.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Threats.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: All kinds of threats, packages, unwanted packages, late-night visits to
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: the house, a complete catastrophe.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: The nurse in her.
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: Family said, how the hell does he get all of
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: our information?
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: She did everything right, and she still couldn't get him
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: off her front doorstep.
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: Why?
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Because he had access to all of her information that
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: data brokers and people's search sites make available.
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: To people on a daily basis. For pennies to the dollar.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: It's legal.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: So it's incumbent upon you to put up a firewall.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: The way to do that for yourself and everyone you
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: know and everyone you love is with Incogni. Get a
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: pad and pen. You're going to want to write it down. I-N-C-O-G-N-I.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: It forces data brokers and people search sites to delete
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: your personal information and then just keeps checking on them
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: to make sure that it stays deleted. Incogni will scrub
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: these sites of your personal information as they have for me.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: In the meantime, you're doing absolutely nothing but maxing and relaxing.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Don't you lock your doors every night? Well, tonight, lock
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: down your address and personal information. Go to incogni.com slash
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Curtis for 60% off. That's I-N-C-O-G-N-I dot com slash Curtis.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: It is a fascinating debate, the use of flock cameras.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you've realized, but it's risen to
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: the point that The consternation about flock cameras has risen
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: to the point where it's become a political issue all
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: across the country. People have to take a position on
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: flock and data centers. These are two brand new political
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: issues that everybody's trying to catch up on. But it's
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: a fascinating question because flock has found 10,000 missing persons.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Flock has been involved in one million criminal investigations. So
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: right now you look at it and you go, wow,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: does the benefit outweigh the privacy concerns? And the problem is,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: as it always is, people. And that's what they're dealing
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: with in Texas right now. So Governor Abbott has stopped,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: put an end to any state funding efforts to local
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: municipalities and counties for flock. They're not going to get
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: any money. If they want it, they have to come
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: up with the money themselves. And the reason is, is
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: because he's been attacked by his opponent. He's running for governor.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: He's running for reelection. And his opponent has come out
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: and said, look, they even have an ad running that's saying,
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: I think the tagline says something like, under Governor Abbott's Texas,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: you don't need a warrant.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: You can just grab somebody off the street with flock.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: And so he's come out now with a position saying
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: there'll be no more state funding specifically because of the
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: human factor, specifically because of how police have misused it.
• 24:48
  Speaker 8: Over in Lufkin, Texas, a police officer was indicted on
• 24:52
  Speaker 8: 100 felony charges for misuse of flock information. Cities across
• 24:57
  Speaker 8: the state are canceling their contracts with flocks, which, by
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: the way, is an important part of the whole issue
• 25:04
  Speaker 8: about flocks. And that is the way flock cameras work
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: in Texas, they are contract agreements between cities and counties
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: and with flocks.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: That was important for him to point out, that it's
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: not the state that's paying for these because he's in
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: the middle of an election and his opponent's coming after him.
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: But he's also listening to his constituents who are angry.
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: Look at Josh Hawley, right?
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: He's not a liberal progressive. He's not a left-winger.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: He's right in Missouri, the show-me state. And he's a
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Republican and a conservative, and boy, you do not want
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: to face his inquisition. He has told the CEO of Flock,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: who's all over the country, like the boy putting his
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: finger in the dike, the little Dutch boy, I want
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: to see all the information by September 8th. We're going
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: to have hearings on this, and you better be prepared.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: So it's spread across the nation, whether it's a blue
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: state or a red state. People do not trust companies
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: with their personal information any longer. They don't believe that
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Flock is not going to sell their information to other companies.
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: Because remember, they have a lot of information on you.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's been no evidence that they're selling any
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: of this information. There has been evidence, however, that it
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: does solve crimes. There has been evidence that it's found
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: lost children. There has been evidence it's found pedophiles with
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: lost children. children they thought were lost, but they were
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: actually abducted. So it's really a difficult decision to make.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: And the problem, every single time there's a problem with it,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: it's some yahoo in a local police office who wants
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: to track his ex-wife or some girl he's interested in.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: It's always a police officer. By the way, Josh Hawley,
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: has lodged an inquiry into Flock, but he's urged the
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: company now to reveal, and this is the key question,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: this is the key question, who can access these cameras?
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: And how do they get access? And are there any
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: guardrails to getting access? That's what has to be fixed.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: You don't want to just throw out flock cameras.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: Well, you talk about guardrails.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Governor Abbott has taken the lead about the data centers,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: the filing centers, the AI filing centers. Over the weekend
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: on the Fox News channel, he said, Data centers? Let
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: me tell you something. There is absolutely no connection between
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: China and the anti-data center debate.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: None whatsoever.
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: This MAGA, Republican, right? Red State, Texas.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: He said.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: I haven't done it because of anything said by China.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: I listen to my people and I'm seeing real problems,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: promises made by these data filing corporations for AI and
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: not delivered. So this whole idea, how many times have
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: you been bombarded? oh, it's red Chinese misinformation, red Chinese misinformation. Well,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: you better start writing to Austin, to the governor's office,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: because the Texas governor on the Fox News channel over
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: the weekend says China isn't behind the anti-data center debate.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been silly. And I've talked, as I told you,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: I was kind of inundated online and talking to people
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: about this because they were upset that I didn't say
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: it was Chinese propaganda.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: It is propaganda, though. There's no question it is propaganda.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: It's propaganda by the data center companies. They're the ones
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: that are behind this whole thing that there's Chinese propaganda
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: because they want you to think, oh, they're fine. If
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: it wasn't for those damn Chinese, we'd be having data
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: centers all across the country. No, the concerns are real.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: The concerns in the community's are real. And I just
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: feel like I have to preface this every time before
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: we get the talkbacks. It's not that I'm against data centers.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: They just shouldn't be in the community, and the community
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: should have some say over what goes in their community.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: So can I tell all of our listeners who want
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: to besiege you with emails and texts, if you want
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: to say it's red Chinese propaganda, you better reroute it
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: to Austin, Texas, to the governor's office, because Governor Greg Abbott,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: This weekend, a Fox News says China isn't behind the
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: anti-data center debate.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of crime over the weekend, and some
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: of the crime was just heinous, including a man. shooting
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: in Trenton.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: New Jersey.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: We'll give you the details and the investigation when we
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: come back. Now, I've reported stories like that all of
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: my life. I know how quickly, this was a block
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: party where that mass shooting was. I know how quickly
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: an ordinary moment can turn into chaos, can turn into
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: an emergency. The most common of that is choking. Choking
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: is one of those moments that can happen to anyone,
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: a child, a parent, a grandparent. And when it does,
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: panic sets in and seconds matter. That's why I want
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: to tell you about LifeVac. LifeVac is the first and
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device to be used for second-line
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: treatment when recommended choking protocols have been followed without success,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: like slapping somebody in the back, trying to dig it
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: out of a child's throat, or the Heimlich. Doesn't always work.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: And here's what's remarkable. LifeVac has helped save over 6,000
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: lives worldwide. Just saved another child's life, a three-year-old in California.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: within the week. But think about that. Over 6,000, that's
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: not just a number. These are real people we're talking about.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Real families, real second chances. Preparedness matters. Having the right
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: tool right nearby can make all the difference in the world.
• 31:05

• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Just a horrendous scene in Trenton, New Jersey. A mass
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: shooting is what it's being called because it was. It
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: left two people dead and eight hurt. It was a cookout,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: a cookout on Sunday. And a gunman walked into the
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: crowd and began firing. That left two people dead, eight
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: more wounded. This was just after Sunday. So it was
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: actually very early Monday morning. It was just after midnight
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: on Sunday. And it was on Locust Street in Trenton.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: 200 people had been there for most of the day
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: for a barbecue. They were all partying.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: And then everybody ran in a panic.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: The one gentleman that the news talked to just happened
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: to be riding down the street. Now, the way you
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: kind of know this must have been gang-related... is that
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: a lot of people talked. Nobody, not one person would
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: go on camera or show their face.
• 32:16
  Speaker 10: I was walking to my car down the street with
• 32:20
  Speaker 10: my people. The next thing you know, I just heard
• 32:21
  Speaker 10: two shots first and then about 10 more after and
• 32:25
  Speaker 10: then 10 more after and then after that, everybody started running.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's unclear if the victim was among the dead,
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: but a 33-year-old woman and a 44-year-old man died in
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: the shooting. It's unclear if the shooter was among the dead.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: The male victim was recently released as a convict by
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Trenton Mayor Reed Gushura. He said he had made strides
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: to put his life back together. I mean, regardless of
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: who got shot, regardless of how this How this all occurred.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: It's just an incredible travesty. And it happened too much.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: It happened last month, if you remember, in Patterson, New Jersey,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: when they were just having an outdoor barbecue. And Curtis,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: it just stinks of being gang related.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: And this mayor is real naive down there because it
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: was an unauthorized block party. Three blocks from the public
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: safety building, you know, police headquarters downtown. Remember, it's a
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: small city, Trenton. It's like Albany, only like 91,000 people.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: I'd say half the people are affiliated to the blood gang.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: It is intense gang activity. So they didn't shut it
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: down early on when they could have shut it down
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: by saying, you're not authorized. It went over curfew. Again,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: there was no attempt to shut it down. And now
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: there's going to be retaliation. I guarantee you. So the
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: mayor is acting like, I don't understand. Why wasn't it
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: shut down? Hey, guy, that's why you're the mayor. That's
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: why you work with the police commissioner and the public
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: safety department to make sure in a very small city
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: you should have your finger on the pulse. And again,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: your excuse is, well, they were celebrating a man who
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: had rebuilt his life after incarceration. OK, but you still
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: got to dot the I and cross the T. And
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: that's what wasn't done, wasn't done in Patterson, hasn't been
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: done in other areas.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: And what do you expect?
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: The longer the night goes on, more drinking, more drugging,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: more people staring at one another, particularly if they are
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: of different gangs or even of the same gang. And
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: they're arguing over a lady or any number of things.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: You stepped on my shoe. And then they'll pull out
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: an automatic weapon and pop, pop, pop. 50 casings they
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: found at the scene. And as you pointed out, the
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: code of the street, snitches get stitches and end up
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: in ditches. Now, I'm thinking the Trenton Police Department has
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: some paid snitches. Every police department does. Hopefully they can
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: resolve this sooner rather than later so that we don't see.
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: A series of revenge shootings.
• 34:58
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: And as you said, this has happened way too much.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: I can point to in the last three months, parties
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: that were shot up. Remember, a 13-year-old, a baby was
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: shot in one of these. And so there's always unintended consequences.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: unintended victims because they're after one person, but then it
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: just becomes the wild west. They go up to shoot
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: somebody and then all of a sudden everybody that's affiliated
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: with that person or with the people shooting pull out guns. And, and,
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: and so there's no way there's no metal detectors at
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: an outdoor barbecue. And that's what you need. You need
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: to make sure it's gun free and that's impossible.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Well, You know, we talked about Albany, another small city
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: that is the state capital of New York. For the
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: first time ever, they had drive-by shootings in Arby Hill,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: which was always an area of crime. But they never
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: before had drive-by shootings. If you don't crack down on
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: it initially... It'll just escalate and escalate and escalate. And remember,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: there's a pipeline. You go from Trenton, you go right
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: into Philly, Baltimore, you go right into York, you go
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: right into Allentown. There's a whole pipeline of gangbangers when
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: they get into trouble and the heat is on in Trenton.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: They flee to other cities where they have affiliate gang
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: membership and they keep them on the lam.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and nobody's safe. That's the thing from not only
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: the drive-bys, but I just looked up the Patterson shooting
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: to get more information on it, and I had forgotten this.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: That was a 13-year-old girl's birthday party. A 13-year-old girl's
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: birthday party. It's like nothing is sacred, just a bunch
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: of people, and guess who might be there? And then
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: To not just take out one person, to just go
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: and start shooting wildly is the most vicious type of
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: evil there is.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Up next, the jury is back today to continue deliberating
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: on the fate of Lindsay Clancy, who killed her three children.
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: Hundreds of people.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Will be outside in solidarity for her wearing pink, mostly women,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: some men. And there was a similar case in the Bronx.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: It was adjudicated and a judge actually ruled that the
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: woman who had killed her two children in a shelter
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: in the Bronx could not be sent to prison, was guilty,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: but by reasons of insanity and instead will be sent
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: to a psychiatric institution. I know you were Strong in
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: your opinion on Friday when we lent the airwaves. I'm
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: wondering with this new information if you have changed your
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: tone at all on this, Larry.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: But first, the news at 7.
