- 0:00Speaker 1: This is a podcast from wor Now Slewah MENTI They're
- 0:05Speaker 1: better together Curdie Sleewah and Larry Minty in the morning
- 0:10Speaker 1: seven tenbr.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Why if the horrible weather we had on Tuesday, we
- 0:17Speaker 2: also had some rain and some isolated thunderstorms yesterday. And
- 0:21Speaker 2: the problem is when you have the rivers already swollen
- 0:24Speaker 2: and you get even a little bit more rain after that,
- 0:27Speaker 2: you're going to have some flooding. And unfortunately in all
- 0:32Speaker 2: of this, over the last two days, five people in
- 0:34Speaker 2: New Jersey have died. There was a man that was
- 0:38Speaker 2: struck by lightning. Also in Cedar Brook and pain in Plainfield,
- 0:43Speaker 2: two people lost their lives when their vehicle was swept away.
- 0:47Speaker 2: That's been confirmed now. In the Passaic River just yesterday
- 0:52Speaker 2: one child was killed trying to swim in the swollen
- 0:57Speaker 2: river and then another child is still missing and presume dead.
- 1:01Speaker 2: So the severe weather over the last couple of days
- 1:04Speaker 2: and also knocked down trees. There's an old oak tree
- 1:08Speaker 2: you may have seen the picture of it on the
- 1:09Speaker 2: news that fell and fell into a house, taking out
- 1:12Speaker 2: an entire deck. And this happened all over there. There
- 1:16Speaker 2: was reports of at least thirty two fallen trees, and
- 1:21Speaker 2: power was out for some time. As a matter of fact,
- 1:23Speaker 2: power was still out this morning for five thousand people
- 1:27Speaker 2: in New Jersey. So it was a huge storm Tuesday,
- 1:32Speaker 2: and the rain yesterday just exacerbated it all. So I
- 1:36Speaker 2: just wanted to let the people know in New Jersey
- 1:38Speaker 2: that are trying to get their power back on, that
- 1:40Speaker 2: are trying to rebuild their homes, that are trying to
- 1:42Speaker 2: get a new car because a tree fell in their car,
- 1:46Speaker 2: that you know, we're thinking about you, and we realized
- 1:49Speaker 2: how bad that weather was. And luckily we're going to
- 1:54Speaker 2: get at least one nice day squeezed in over the
- 1:57Speaker 2: next few days. So a little bit of arrest on
- 2:00Speaker 2: the whole thing.
- 2:01Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, there was flooding in downtown Patterson, which always
- 2:04Speaker 3: happens when the Mosaic overflows. I don't know of a
- 2:08Speaker 3: time where that hasn't happened. The first ward up the hill,
- 2:11Speaker 3: down the hill, it's down the hill, and then from
- 2:15Speaker 3: the day before Hawthorne where they have water under the ground.
- 2:18Speaker 3: See a lot of these communities there are streams, there
- 2:22Speaker 3: are waterbeds under the ground. We don't even think of that.
- 2:27Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden when they get hit
- 2:29Speaker 3: with a heavy rain and that mixes with the water
- 2:32Speaker 3: that is already under the ground. It causes the streets
- 2:36Speaker 3: to buckle because it's almost like it pushes everything up.
- 2:40Speaker 3: It causes enormous problems. And again, as you had mentioned, Larry,
- 2:45Speaker 3: the old trees come down because the ground is so
- 2:48Speaker 3: soft from rain after rain after rainstorm, buckets of rain.
- 2:53Speaker 3: Then it knocks the electrical power lines down. Then it
- 2:58Speaker 3: knocks our power in a whole region or an area
- 3:01Speaker 3: as a result. And again I can't say it enough.
- 3:05Speaker 3: We're gonna have more of this because of the extreme weather,
- 3:08Speaker 3: because of climate change. So why aren't we starting to
- 3:11Speaker 3: bury these power lines. It's just gonna happen more and more.
- 3:15Speaker 3: And a lot of these trees, you know, only because
- 3:17Speaker 3: I like to climb trees. You know, I'm a tree climber.
- 3:20Speaker 3: Wherever I see trees, I'm ready to climb them. From
- 3:22Speaker 3: India here throughout Central Park, Riverside Park, any chance I
- 3:27Speaker 3: had to climb trees. There have been a lot of
- 3:29Speaker 3: diseases that have affected the trees that have like hollowed
- 3:32Speaker 3: them out. So those trees are not you know, like
- 3:35Speaker 3: we used to say, oh that's a solid old tree.
- 3:38Speaker 3: A lot of those trees are not that solid inside.
- 3:41Speaker 3: They're still alive barely, but boy, when a strong wind
- 3:45Speaker 3: comes by or all of a sudden, their roots are
- 3:48Speaker 3: pulled up out of the ground, they come crashing down.
- 3:50Speaker 2: In Patterson, I didn't know this until just this moment,
- 3:54Speaker 2: they had twenty five water rescues in the streets. Yep,
- 3:59Speaker 2: in the streets, people stuck in their car. By in
- 4:02Speaker 2: Woodland Park, they had to evacuate sixty people because of
- 4:06Speaker 2: high water in Monroe Township, that's where the lightning strike was.
- 4:10Speaker 2: It was a thirty two year old that was out,
- 4:12Speaker 2: just taken for a walk and got hit by lightning.
- 4:14Speaker 2: So no what came through. It turned out to be
- 4:17Speaker 2: a deadly storm. And I'm glad all of you survived it.
- 4:20Speaker 2: But we're not alone. This is happening not only across
- 4:23Speaker 2: the country, it's happening in Europe as well. Everybody's been
- 4:26Speaker 2: dealing with horrible weather. They just had another tornado in Wisconsin.
- 4:30Speaker 2: I mean, you don't think of Wisconsin for tornadoes, but
- 4:33Speaker 2: that's the fifth one they've had in the last couple
- 4:35Speaker 2: of weeks.
- 4:36Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting. We're gonna be talking Fauci all
- 4:38Speaker 3: morning long. There's so much from the Fauci hearings. But
- 4:41Speaker 3: when it came his time to crush examine Fauci, Republican
- 4:45Speaker 3: Senator Ron Johnson Wisconsin. Before he even began, it's republic
- 4:50Speaker 3: what can we call it? Cross examination? Intense as it was,
- 4:55Speaker 3: he apologized to the people Wisconsin. He said, I'm coming.
- 4:59Speaker 3: I know you've been hit by a bad tornado. I'm coming.
- 5:02Speaker 3: I'll be with you this weekend. So he understood the
- 5:06Speaker 3: devastation that transpired there. So it's going to be an
- 5:09Speaker 3: old Fauci morning. But the weather has dominated here us
- 5:16Speaker 3: and also, as you mentioned, in Europe, one hundred and
- 5:21Speaker 3: ten degrees in powers, so it's heated up. The fires
- 5:25Speaker 3: have slowed down a little bit, thank god, because they
- 5:27Speaker 3: were moving in on Madrid and more importantly moving in
- 5:30Speaker 3: on Bordeaux. But they got to be plagued with that
- 5:33Speaker 3: to the rest of the month of August. And then
- 5:35Speaker 3: remember the earthquake in Japan. So it just seems July
- 5:40Speaker 3: has been the months where Mother Nature says, remember I
- 5:44Speaker 3: control what goes on here. Remember you may want to
- 5:48Speaker 3: buck about me and be nice to be because I
- 5:52Speaker 3: can control a lot of what goes on, not just
- 5:55Speaker 3: you people down there.
- 5:57Speaker 2: I love that you mentioned Faucia, and I want to
- 5:59Speaker 2: play a little bit of Fauci right now because I
- 6:01Speaker 2: know people are thinking, wait a second, Fauci, Fauci, Fauci.
- 6:04Speaker 2: We're gonna be playing Fauci all morning and talking about
- 6:06Speaker 2: it all morning long. But because of the deaths and
- 6:10Speaker 2: because somebody affected it, because power is still out in
- 6:13Speaker 2: part of New Jersey, I just wanted to tell you
- 6:16Speaker 2: that we're thinking about you, and we understand that what's happened.
- 6:19Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, when your electricity goes out, when
- 6:22Speaker 2: a tree falls into your house, you don't care about Fauci,
- 6:24Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Weather affects everybody, and.
- 6:27Speaker 3: So when you're in that kind of an emergency and
- 6:33Speaker 3: you need to find out what's going on in the
- 6:35Speaker 3: world because it goes you seventy two inch big screen TV.
- 6:38Speaker 3: You ain't getting a reception there. You got that sea
- 6:41Speaker 3: crane radio?
- 6:42Speaker 2: I know. I will tell you. I got a text
- 6:46Speaker 2: and a photo from Natalie she had her seacrane radio out.
- 6:50Speaker 2: I'm obsessed.
- 6:51Speaker 4: I'm honestly obsessed with it.
- 6:55Speaker 5: I know I'm a radio geek.
- 6:56Speaker 3: I get it.
- 6:57Speaker 5: But I have the solar.
- 7:00Speaker 4: The weather band.
- 7:01Speaker 5: The weather band was so amazing because you know, you're
- 7:04Speaker 5: watching your TV weather and they're going through every other
- 7:07Speaker 5: neighborhood in the world, which of course is important, but
- 7:10Speaker 5: I want to hear what's going on in my area,
- 7:12Speaker 5: and the weather band is so specific, so it was great.
- 7:15Speaker 3: I yeah, No, it's imperative that you have that, not
- 7:19Speaker 3: just for listening. I listened to the she Crane radio
- 7:22Speaker 3: because I love listening to talk radio. But for those emergencies,
- 7:27Speaker 3: my dad used to have shipped to shore radio, you know,
- 7:29Speaker 3: merchant seamen. They had to know what the weather was, remember,
- 7:32Speaker 3: or they could be down at Davy Jones's locker, the
- 7:35Speaker 3: maritime type. But this is as close to it as
- 7:39Speaker 3: you could get, and it's not huge like the old
- 7:41Speaker 3: maritime radios that my dad.
- 7:43Speaker 2: Well, the solar is about the size of a brick.
- 7:45Speaker 2: You can carry it around with you. You know what,
- 7:47Speaker 2: since we're talking about it, why don't we tell people
- 7:49Speaker 2: that they can go to C crane dot com, that
- 7:52Speaker 2: c c R A n E dot com to find
- 7:55Speaker 2: out exactly what I'm talking about.
- 7:57Speaker 5: You know, I've heard your commercials.
- 7:59Speaker 4: Obviously a lot the reception is incredible because you know,
- 8:05Speaker 4: you turn on an old radio and it's like it's like, Okay,
- 8:08Speaker 4: this isn't so great.
- 8:10Speaker 5: It's crystal clear, just like you say.
- 8:13Speaker 4: And I know I shouldn't be surprised that you're not
- 8:16Speaker 4: telling you the truth, but.
- 8:17Speaker 2: You thought I was lying as that one is.
- 8:20Speaker 5: I'm telling you, well, what he says.
- 8:22Speaker 3: Is true, Natalie. He didn't take the fifth. He he
- 8:25Speaker 3: didn't do a fout. He didn't take the fifth. He
- 8:28Speaker 3: told you straight what it gives you.
- 8:31Speaker 2: But well, thanks for saying that about Sea Crane, and
- 8:33Speaker 2: I'm glad it came in handy when we have when
- 8:35Speaker 2: we we I don't get to use c crame when
- 8:37Speaker 2: there's a storm. I don't get to use it because
- 8:39Speaker 2: my son carries it around with him. You remember the
- 8:42Speaker 2: of the old movie Radio the guy the the guy
- 8:45Speaker 2: that carried around a radio with him alone. That's my
- 8:47Speaker 2: son during a storm and giving us all reports. So again,
- 8:52Speaker 2: Ceacrane dot com, c c R A n E dot com.
- 8:55Speaker 2: You talked about me taking the fifth. Let's give a
- 8:58Speaker 2: little tease of what's to come throughout the show. And
- 9:01Speaker 2: Josh Hawley, of course was one of the stars and
- 9:06Speaker 2: Fauci of course, played the fifth one hundred and eleven times.
- 9:12Speaker 2: Here is Josh Hollie responding to Fauci taking the fifth.
- 9:17Speaker 4: On the Advisive Council.
- 9:19Speaker 1: I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under
- 9:22Speaker 1: the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.
- 9:24Speaker 6: Let's just get one thing straight. You don't have any
- 9:25Speaker 6: rights under the Fifth Amendment because you've been pardoned, as
- 9:28Speaker 6: you very well know, as a Supreme Court has been
- 9:31Speaker 6: clear for a century and more Brown versus Walker eighteen
- 9:34Speaker 6: ninety six. When he has been pardoned, he may not
- 9:37Speaker 6: stand upon his privilege. You know that your lawyer is
- 9:41Speaker 6: sitting behind you now, shifting nervously in their chairs. They
- 9:43Speaker 6: know it. This isn't about the Constitution, This isn't about
- 9:46Speaker 6: the law. This is about contempt, contempt for this body
- 9:49Speaker 6: and contempt for the American people.
- 9:51Speaker 3: Man, was he good? A gatling gun, a verbal gatling gun.
- 9:55Speaker 3: And the lawyers were fidgeting, they were nervous of for
- 10:00Speaker 3: whatever reason. But he picked up on that right away,
- 10:03Speaker 3: and then he asked a series of questions that made
- 10:06Speaker 3: a fool out of Faulcy really did well to out
- 10:09Speaker 3: the morning. We'll be playing it to you, but I
- 10:12Speaker 3: cannot fathom somebody in an open public, public congressional or
- 10:18Speaker 3: Senate hearing taking the Fifth Amendment over one hundred times.
- 10:22Speaker 3: If you would have said that would have happened in
- 10:24Speaker 3: my lifetime. I just said, nah, come on, especially somebody
- 10:27Speaker 3: who has appeared before. He's been like it. What twenty
- 10:30Speaker 3: two congressional hearings. We remember his jousting with Rand Paul
- 10:35Speaker 3: over and over. It was some of the best congressional
- 10:38Speaker 3: hearings ever. And then all of a sudden to be
- 10:41Speaker 3: like the Sphinx and just sit there and keep repeating
- 10:44Speaker 3: that over and over again.
- 10:46Speaker 2: I heard from and attorney why he did that. We
- 10:49Speaker 2: have to get to the next segment, but I'll leave
- 10:52Speaker 2: that as a tease. There is a good reason that
- 10:55Speaker 2: he took the fifth We couldn't figure it out yesterday,
- 10:57Speaker 2: but now it all makes sense.
- 10:59Speaker 3: We'll have that up well. Anyway, we want your talkbacks
- 11:03Speaker 3: on that. I know many of you were transfixed as
- 11:06Speaker 3: we were hearing it here at seven to ten wo R.
- 11:09Speaker 3: Maybe you saw a footage of it, you know, when
- 11:12Speaker 3: you checked your clicks, or maybe actually watched it live.
- 11:16Speaker 3: But it was historical. I've never seen anything of that
- 11:22Speaker 3: magnitude before, where the whole world should have been watching,
- 11:27Speaker 3: because remember what Fauci did affected the entire world. We were,
- 11:34Speaker 3: we are the straw that stirs their drink when it
- 11:37Speaker 3: comes to health and healthcare in the word, they look
- 11:41Speaker 3: to the United States, and they were looking to the
- 11:43Speaker 3: guy that they thought.
- 11:44Speaker 2: Was their god right right, doctor Fauci. We're gonna have
- 11:48Speaker 2: much more of that throughout the morning. We're gonna have that.
- 11:50Speaker 2: We're also coming up next. Curtis told us about this
- 11:56Speaker 2: a German toilet that's considered a smart toilet because plause
- 12:01Speaker 2: it can diagnose you, which is fascinating that they can
- 12:06Speaker 2: do it just from you sitting with your pants off.
- 12:09Speaker 3: Hell of a lot cheap ending paying a doctor, right,
- 12:12Speaker 3: Plus it's something you have to do every day or
- 12:14Speaker 3: you're going to implode. Plus a chance to see deep
- 12:17Speaker 3: purple in Kansas at A twenty five.
- 12:19Speaker 1: This has been a podcast from wor
