  Speaker 1: Well, there is now some backlash to the report that
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: was released by Mayor Mamdani. And I said yesterday, and
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I'll say it again, it's the best thing he's ever done.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: I have been extremely critical of him. But finally, finally,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: somebody has released these records. And the records we're talking
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: about are the records that show the city knew that
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: there were deadly toxins in the air right after 9-11.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: For months after 9-11. And they knew this just a
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks into it, after doing their testing. And
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: so they allowed all of these people, citizens, construction workers, firefighters, police,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the people who live down there, the residents, to stay
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: down there and breathe.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: It all in.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: And thousands and thousands and thousands have died for them
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: keeping that a secret. We learned about it 25 years later.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: There has to be some charges on this. There has
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: to be something that happens. And we're now hearing, one
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: by one, we're going to hear from people that are
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: upset about this. But the first one's out of the box,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and he was tremendous yesterday, is Jim Brasi, president of
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the United Firefighters Officers Association Association. who held a news
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: conference and you could feel his anger.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: It is appalling that they did this to us, despite
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: our willingness to knowingly go into that environment repeatedly for
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: long-term exposures, long after the acute exposure of that day,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: to give dignity to the people that were lost, to
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: give the greatest possible effort towards a recovery, and then
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: hopes to put New York back on its firm footing
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: that it was on the days before 9-11.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: And he believes they did it, Curtis, for the worst
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: of reasons, for fiduciary reasons, for money, because they didn't
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: want to have to spend all the money or spend
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: all of the time waiting for rebuilding until the air cleared.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: They wanted to move in there immediately and rebuild it.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Even Mayor Bloomberg admitted that. He wanted to He had
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to rebuild a whole new city within a
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: city that is easily accessible. He was all excited about that.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Nobody cared seemingly about the firefighters, but they cared about
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: rebuilding their own little pet projects. Now, we've heard from
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: both Mayor Giuliani and Mayor Bloomberg, and both were embarrassingly
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Both should be called before Congress. Both should answer to
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: a commission like the Warren Commission that needs to study this.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Mayor Giuliani came out and said, no, the EPA said
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the error was clear. We followed them trying to shift
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the blame. Yeah, but you had your own study, Mayor,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: that you ignored. So you knew, no matter what the
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: EPA said, you knew that error was deadly. You knew
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: that air was dangerous and you ignored it. And Mayor Bloomberg,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: his was worse. He didn't mention the study. He didn't
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: mention the dangerous air. He just patted himself on the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: back at how well he did in rebuilding that area,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: proving that what the Fire Association was saying in the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: first place. This was all about money. This was all
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: about expediting the project. This was all about not admitting
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: fault to anything. I'll tell you what, Giuliani was bad.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Bloomberg and his statement was even worse, to completely ignore
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: that he was complicit in hiding the study.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Well, look how precarious it's going to be for the
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: former mayor, Michael Bloomberg, who is in charge of the foundation,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: has self-funded it, you know, the memorial, the museum.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Down at 9-11.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: He's always in the middle of the scrum of the
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: politicians who will show up tomorrow, and rightfully so, because
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: he basically helped that effort take place.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: But you're right.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: His response to this damning drop of 170,000 documents— and by
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: the way, this is only the first of more documents— Remember,
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: they found 68 boxes in the city's Environmental Protection Agency office.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: They claim they didn't know where they were. Giuliani people
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: claim they didn't know where they were when he was
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: still in office, Bloomberg, 12 years.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: We don't know where they are.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: De Blasio does not escape criticism, even though he was
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Zoran's biggest supporter.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: We didn't know where they were. Adams, right? We didn't
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: know where they were.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Well, they were in the office the whole time. And
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: now we're beginning to see there's a portal, and the
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: city is putting everything up. So you're going to have
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: a chance to see these documents for yourself. Rudy's response,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: he had an aide put it on his social networking account.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: They were blaming the federal EPA of Christy Todd. I
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: call her Witless, the former governor of New Jersey who
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: had been appointed by Bush 43. She eventually apologized for
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: the misinformation that she spread.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: So I give her credit for that. Shouldn't these guys apologize?
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely. But they won't.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: They won't because now there's an investigation, Department of Investigation
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: for the city. As you have called for and I
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: call for, there should be a federal investigation where everyone
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: should have to come and give testimony, public testimony, not
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: behind closed doors. And we try to put this together.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: But I can assure you, because some people came up
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: to me, oh, the UFO, the UFA, these are the
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: two firefighter unions. They're trying to curry favor with Zohar now.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: I met with both of them during the mayoral campaign,
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: as I did when I ran against Adams in 2021.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: I know all these guys. Eddie Brown was the former treasurer,
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: my best guardian angel ever. He saved my life in
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: New Orleans. So I knew them all personally, and they
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: were very blunt with me. We don't think he could win,
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: but we hate Zorhan. I mean, I didn't meet any
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: of them, but said anything like, give him a chance.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: I hated him.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: So for them to come out, especially on a.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: Day where they gathered out in Staten Island and they
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: had their banner up, the huge banner that says 343.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Those are the firefighters who died on that day and
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: still counting because as they remind us, more members now
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: have died from World Trade Center-related illnesses than died on
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: that day. 12,000 have been diagnosed with at least one
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: form of illness that is directly attributable to what happened
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: at the World Trade Center site in the aftermath of
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: the collapse.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: More importantly, it's estimated that 9,000 have died. So this
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: is mass murder, is what it is. And because those
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: lives could have been saved, you can't tell me that
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: if they were to know that early that that was dangerous,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: they couldn't have done something. They would have made major changes.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: By the way, as Lieutenant Deputy Brosny said yesterday.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Had they been more transparent about those toxins, we probably
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: would have stalled recovery, got better decon, set up better facilities,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: set up better work rotations so that we could have
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: limited the exposure.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: So you hear what he's saying? They wouldn't have stopped.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Knowing it, they would have got the proper gear on.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: They would have made sure they limited exposure, but they
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: would have kept working. They would have kept rebuilding the city.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: And so this whole argument that, oh, it was too important,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: we had to get this done fast, they would have
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: kept going. You just had to slow down a little
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: bit and limit the exposure. And as you pointed out yesterday,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: it's a very important point because we keep thinking about
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the firefighters. We keep thinking about the people that volunteered
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and the police officers there at the scene digging through
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the rubble.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: What about the residents?
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: They were told it was fine. Come back. You can
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: live there.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: The students, right next to the location across the street,
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: is one of the most elite high schools in the country,
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: Stuyvesant High School. They were told it's okay to come back. Teachers, staff,
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: maintenance people, students. Everyone was told, get back to the job.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: We've all got to come together. We can't allow the
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: collapse of Lower Manhattan, the economic center of the world,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: because of Wall Street and the financial institutions. Michael Bloomberg
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: was elected simply because he would rebuild lower Manhattan. He
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: was way behind in the polls against Mark Green. That
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: was the day of the Democratic primary, by the way.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: They had a stopped account. But he would have lost
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: even with all of his money because nobody liked Bloomberg
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: at the time.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: He was not a very likable kind of guy.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: Once Rudy embraced him afterwards and said he's going to
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: rebuild the city, That propelled.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Them to victory. But it was even a close election.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: So the bulk of the responsibility is clearly on Rudy
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: and his staff.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: It's on all of them. Right. And Bloomberg, because he
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: inherited it.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Everybody, all four of the mayors, they had this information.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Everybody had this information. Anybody could have exposed it any
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: time along the way. And that's what I'm saying.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I think Mamdani's now earned his right to go on 9-11.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I think he's now earned his right. And I was
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: dead set against it. But God blessed anybody that was
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: behind releasing these documents, because... it is so important to
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: know the weight of this moment. All these people didn't
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: have to die because documents were hidden by not just
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: one administration's, four administrations. hid these documents for mayors and
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: all the people that had access. Remember for a while,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: they said they disappeared. They couldn't find the documents. All
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: four of the administrations said that. So there's a whole
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: lot of people that need to be held accountable. And
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: we should stay on this every single day until there
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: is some accountability. By the way, I know that President Trump,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: even though he may not listen all the time, does
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: get a feed of what we say. I mean, he
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: gets a printout of what we say. What about you, Mr. President,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: a New Yorker? What about you? Why don't you push
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: for an investigation? You have sway over the Republican Party,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: their leaders in the Congress, their leaders in the House
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: and the Senate. Push them into having an investigation next week.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Start it right away.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I know you're in the middle of the midterms. This
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: will only help you because it was all Democrats.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Well, not Bloomberg.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: It was all Democrats that were hiding this mostly, let's
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: say 90% Democrats. So it's an issue. It's an issue
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: for you. I'm just trying to talk them into it.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Start an investigation. Use this as an issue. This might
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: be the biggest issue in the country. It just hasn't
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: started to spread yet.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: And if people want to get involved in Talkback, how
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: can they do so on this subject?
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Well, they go to the iHeartRadio app, and remember, the
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: best Talkback of the day wins a Curtis Sliwa and
• 11:49

• 13:06
  Speaker 1: on his health, and it seems like he's doing very well.
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: I'm doing physical therapy. I'm doing whatever it is they
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: tell me to do because I don't want to lose it.
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: So I'm always testing myself. I know people have heard
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: he's got a brain disorder. And I'm okay. I just
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: want people to know, don't worry about me. I'm not
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: going anywhere.
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: I'm here.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: I'm still here.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great he's doing well because he admits he
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: had to actually go through brain surgery. And, you know,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: it was probably touch and go. It was the Cleveland
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Clinic that said that he went through cerebrospinal brain surgery
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: because fluid had built up inside the skull and put
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: pressure on the brain, which can be deadly. And they
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: got to it in time. And he seems like from
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the interview he was doing, he's doing extremely well and
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: he looks all right.
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because of my job, which is. playing rock and
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: roll music very loud, that it was giving me something
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: like a concussion every time I did a show. It
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: was causing damage to my brain nerves. And I could
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: be losing more brain cells the more I played, the
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: more shows I did. And I realized that means I
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: shouldn't be doing this right now.
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: I got to improve.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you had a shunt put in. which relieves the pressure.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: So all that liquid that you were talking about, Larry,
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: continues to be removed through the shunt. He had lost
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: his balance like somebody who has vertigo. He was forgetting things.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: It was really impairing him. Luckily, they were able to
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: do that procedure, which has now put him back on
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: the road of recovery.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. He looks and sounds great. Hopefully, he'll be performing again,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: and he can do something, put earplugs in, do something,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: stop that sound.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Now let's get some talkbacks.
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: You don't need to be a rocket scientist to know
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: that air was contaminated that day. I mean, you just
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: had to know. That's the first thing I thought about.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: That air was polluted.
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: We all knew it.
• 15:31
  Speaker 9: And I don't think it would have stopped anyone from
• 15:33
  Speaker 9: going in there had they known it.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, it would have. Yes, it would have. I mean, initially.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: You're right, people went in, but there was no testing
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: of the air at that point. Everybody at that point
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: wanted to know if they should be wearing masks or gear.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: But had they known how toxic that air was, as
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: you just heard the deputy chief say, we would have
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: limited exposure.
• 15:58
  Speaker 10: Curtis?
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the key thing there was that, sure,
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: there would have been men who would have wanted to
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: fight their way into the pile to find their friends.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: But you could have cordoned it off.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: You could have had the National Guard in there preventing
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: anybody from getting in until everybody had the right gear.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: Because obviously the federal government probably had the gear in
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: storage all throughout the country that they could have brought
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: to the location.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great point.
• 16:25
  Speaker 11: Larry, it's funny how easily manipulated you are with the
• 16:29
  Speaker 11: Mondami now deserves to go to the 9-11 ceremonies. Mondami
• 16:34
  Speaker 11: is using this to make people look bad and draw
• 16:37
  Speaker 11: attention away from himself, who's an incompetent child.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree that everything he's done so far has
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: been incompetent. Tell you what, I don't care. This is
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: such a big deal. The fact that nobody released this,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: and he could have gone for four years without releasing it,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: but he didn't. And so let's give credit where credit
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: is due. And I know from 9-11 first responders, you know,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: they're like teary-eyed over this. They can't believe that they
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: were lied to and information was withheld from them. So
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I side with them. And if he is the one
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: that released it, I don't care what the reason is.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I really don't care because it's that important. That's my priority.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I plan on going to the World Trade Center
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: site tomorrow, as many other people are.
• 17:27
  Speaker 9: And I, too, felt the same about Mondami.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: I was kind of iffy.
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: About him going.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: But I agree with Larry.
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: After he exposed this cover-up, I think he's earned his
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: right to go.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Well, remember, he's going anyway.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: Let's hope that tomorrow is focused on all those who
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: are lost, all those who continue to be lost. And
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: the families because it's been hijacked by the politicians.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: It really has been. And just remember that tomorrow's ceremony
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: is closed.
• 17:58
  Speaker 12: You have to go through security and be invited in.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: So people can't just go. Yeah, you can come. Did
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: somebody say that? He was just saying he was going.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Maybe he is part of that.
• 18:08
  Speaker 12: But for the general public, you could go in the area,
• 18:11
  Speaker 12: but you can't go.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: You can go to the memorial after 12 noon after
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: the ceremony's commemoration is over and pay tribute that way.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: But you're right.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: You cannot get into that area unless you're invited.
• 18:23

• 19:33
  Speaker 9: for help in identifying a guy who was spotted cruising
• 19:35
  Speaker 9: around on an e-bike wearing a helmet and nothing else.
• 19:41
  Speaker 16: Reddington Township police say they've gotten sporadic calls over the

• 19:47
  Speaker 16: and roads on an e-bike while enjoying the breeze on
• 19:49
  Speaker 16: his skin. The investigation into the occasional naked e-bike romp
• 19:53
  Speaker 16: through Reddington got a boost when a resident snapped a
• 19:56
  Speaker 16: picture of the man, which police promptly posted on their
• 19:59
  Speaker 16: Facebook page. And they asked for help from anyone around
• 20:02

  Speaker 9: o'clock bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: We'll discuss Lindsey Clancy's attorney, Kevin Reddington, spending most of
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: his day defending her former husband, who has come under
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: tremendous attack from many sectors. And also more jurists came
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: forward to tell us what had happened in those jury deliberations.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: But right from the headlines, Batavia, Illinois, 2.40 in the morning.
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: Imagine 2.40 in the morning. Most of you are knocked out.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: You're sleeping. A woman sees a flashlight and a shadow
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: outside her window. Police say the man in her backyard
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: was a registered sex offender. A military court had convicted
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: him in 2024. He'd taken a sailor's key card, let
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: himself into her bedroom and watched her sleep. He never
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: had met this woman in Batavia. He saw her on
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: social media. Then he was obsessed and researched every detail
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: of her public life and then found private information, her
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: home address. Also, family members, where she did her banking,
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: where she did her financing. Where did he get all
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: this information? For two bucks. Anybody can. from people's search
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: sites and from data databases. Well, you got to set
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: up your own firewall to prevent that because it's legal
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: what he did and you can't stop them from doing it.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: But you can't put up a firewall as I've done
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: with Incogni. Let me spell it for you. I-N-C-O-G-N-I. It

• 22:58
  Speaker 4: attracting attention from across the world as the defense attorney
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: for Lindsey Clancy, spent most of his day yesterday not
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: defending his client or talking about what might take place
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: in the future after the deadlocked jury were dismissed. But
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: he spent the bulk of his time defending Lindsey Clancy's
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: former husband, who has since remarried in April and is
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: living in Manhattan. And I didn't realize how much hate
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: there was out there for him until our own Natalie
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: Megliore pointed out all the websites and all the social
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: networking who actually, many of them think that he was
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: involved in this. He somehow, you know, the conspiracy, he
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: had his hands into this killing of the kids.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: I follow him. until I started looking into it.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: So yesterday, Kevin Reddington is going on about, it's obvious
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: that Patrick, the husband, stood by his wife every step
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: of the way.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: I have it. You want to hear it? Oh, yeah, absolutely.
• 24:03
  Speaker 13: I've said repeatedly the gut-wrenching horror that is in his voice.
• 24:08
  Speaker 13: No actor in California could ever imitate that. It's obvious
• 24:14
  Speaker 13: that Patrick was a man who stood by his wife
• 24:19
  Speaker 13: through all of the difficulty of the medical issues, the
• 24:22
  Speaker 13: psychiatric issues, the pharmaceutical issues, and even up to the
• 24:26
  Speaker 13: time of trial and even afterwards. And the man ought
• 24:28
  Speaker 13: to be able to move on with his life and
• 24:30
  Speaker 13: stop with the speculation and horrific conspiracy allegations that he
• 24:36
  Speaker 13: was involved with some massive conspiracy to kill his children.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: Wow, he had to spend his time. He's in the
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: spotlight now. And he spent half his day defending the
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: former husband. And yet that has not stopped many who
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: go to social networking and believe that he was somehow involved.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: I think it all comes about because he was the
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: first witness called by the prosecutor. I looked at it.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: I didn't look at it at the time, but I've
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: looked back at it. I didn't feel he was a
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: very good witness. He was unlikable, cold. somewhat trying to
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: distract from the question. I could easily see how people,
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: based on his initial testimony, would not at all rule
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: out the possibility. And boy, that seems to be growing
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: ever since the jury was dismissed.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: It has been, but it was pretty big. Even at
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: the time of the trial, people were saying he did it.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: People were saying he helped her. He set it up.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: People were saying he manipulated her. People saying he was
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: the cause of it, that she was so upset at
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: the way she was being treated by him.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: That she did it.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: I just feel like there is a large part of
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: the population that never wants to blame the woman and
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: always blame the man. And I think we saw that
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: in multiples during this trial. And I think it came
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: down to that in the jury room as well. A
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: lot of the jurors are still talking. And the first
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: ones that were out, and I want you to hear
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: this one juror who actually defended the person that was
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: the holdout. And it was interesting. She didn't want to
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: be out there. She didn't want her name to be
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: out there. She did this on a phone call with
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: WBZ in Boston. She didn't want to be out there
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: because she knows what the backlash would be defending this guy.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: But she said there was a, There was a lot
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: of pressure on him, but he's allowed his own opinion.
• 26:39
  Speaker 17: You know, the standalone juror was not the only one
• 26:42
  Speaker 17: that was unwilling to see things from the other side.
• 26:46
  Speaker 11: So I'm going.
• 26:47
  Speaker 17: To kind of defend that individual in a sense. There
• 26:52
  Speaker 17: were some big personalities in that room, but at the
• 26:55
  Speaker 17: end of the day, I feel like it just came
• 26:58
  Speaker 17: down to an inability to kind of move past your convictions.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: It was an inability to move past his conviction. So
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: she was defending him. She also said she wishes he
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: would have come around, but he just never did. And
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the thing that jumped out at me at that soundbite, though,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: was that there was some big personalities in the room.
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: And I think they were the first couple jurors that
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: came out and got on camera because they seemed like
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: they were big personalities. And they were berating him probably
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: in that room, which didn't help because they were berating
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: him in public as well.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: Well, one juror, Karen Reed, unbeknownst to anybody at the time,
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: had been on Facebook posting things. for, excuse me, that
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: was Kelly Farina was the name of the juror. But
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: she had been posting, remember that case involving Karen Reed,
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: who drove over her cop boyfriend in Boston, like over
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: and over. And she was exonerated by a jury, even
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: though it would suggest that she did it. She did
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: it passionately and she wanted her boyfriend dead. But she
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: was part of that Facebook group then. So you would
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: think as part of the voir dire, you know, where
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: they're interviewing jurors, they may want to start looking at
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: people's social networking and posting too. Because, my God, she
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: was one of the prime people who was saying, yeah, yeah,
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: you got a free Karen Reid, free Karen Reid.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Man, I will say this because a couple of other
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: jurors came out and it's something that you said yesterday
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: was really interesting. You thought that it was a woman
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: versus men thing in the jury room. And there was
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: only three men on the jury. Here is another one.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: And you heard that juror say he wasn't the only
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: one that wanted to convict her in the beginning. There
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: was just some really loud and big personalities that were
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: going up against all of the holdouts. But he wasn't
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: the only holdout. One of the other men was as well.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: And he is also defending that gentleman's right to stay
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: with his convictions.
• 29:08
  Speaker 18: There's nothing wrong with somebody having a completely opposite opinion.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: That would be a hung jury. That is our justice system.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: That is our justice system. He started out by saying
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: he wanted to convict, too, on criminal charges. He was
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: one of those people. So it sounds like there were
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: many of them. There was just some big voices in
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: that room that was able to sway everybody but one.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: Well, we're going to find out next if the governor
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: of New Jersey, the helicopter pilot, pilot, will be swayed
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: not to get rid of her lieutenant governor, Dale Caldwell,
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: who's proven to be quite the player. Unmarried.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: But what a player.
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: And Larry, you've got to give us all these details
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: because apparently... People knew about this for a long, long time. Meantime,
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: ladies and gentlemen, the countdown is on to the most
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: talked about music festival on this entire Mother Earth. It's
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: our iHeart Radio Music Festival presented by Capital One. It's
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: September 18th and 19th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: Two nights, one stage. Listen on iHeartRadio stations across the
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: country and stream it live on Disney Plus and Hulu.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: There'll be live performances by Benson Boone, the Goo Goo Dolls,
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: Kenny Chesney, Laney Wilson, and more. Limited tickets available at AXS.com.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: Get yours while you still can.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Well, New Jersey has a little bit of a scandal.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: It might be a big scandal.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: We don't know.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: But it is a scandal nonetheless. New Jersey's lieutenant governor,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: and by the way, in New Jersey, really, nobody ever
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: knows the lieutenant governor's name, but they're going to know
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: it now because everybody's doing a story on him, including
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: the New York Times. The lieutenant governor is Dale G. Caldwell.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: He is a former professor, a politician. He was actually
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: the president of a university for a while. He is
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: embroiled in a scandal that came forward when there were
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: some anonymous tips and someone whose name wants to stay
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: out of any accusations that he is, how should we
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: say this? He's a player. He is gone after allegedly
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: some of the female staffers in the city, but they
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: have known this about him for a long time. They
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: knew this about him before they chose him. Because apparently
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: he was a guy that would show up at a
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: party and political events, even ones that he traveled to
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: with the governor, bring his business cards, and he apparently,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: they noticed, was only handing them to young women. So
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: he was constantly– and he's single.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: And he's single.
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, gee, I thought right away he's a married guy.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: No, he's single.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: So there seemingly is nothing wrong with that unless you
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: have unwanted advances.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Hmm.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: To younger employees, women that have less power than you
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: do in the State House. And that's what's being investigated
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: right now. It's being investigated by the governor. Everything they
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: tried to make it hush-hush, but it got out. And
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: now it's become a political issue. And the Republicans smell blood.
• 32:27
  Speaker 9: We want to know who knew what and when, why
• 32:30
  Speaker 9: this has been shielded from the public. when there's going
• 32:35
  Speaker 9: to be resolution.
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: I think everybody wants to know that, especially Dr. Caldwell
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: himself wants to know that. Educational doctor, not a physician.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Declan O'Scanlan, a New Jersey senator I like very much,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: wants him to step down for the time being or
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: at least be put to the side.
• 32:54
  Speaker 19: At the very least, he should be removed from his
• 32:59
  Speaker 19: statutory powers or the powers that he is given via
• 33:01
  Speaker 19: the governor's fiat.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: That should probably happen again on a temporary basis.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: So let me ask you a question. The governor, this
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: is the person she chose. What did she know? When
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: did she know it? And how come she has been
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: taking the code of omerta on this?
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Well, I think she's taking the code of omerta because
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I think that she believed it was going to go away.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: And it hasn't gone away. It's still being investigated. And
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of people like a professor at
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Rider University, a political science professor who is coming out
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: and saying he was also a New Jersey assemblyman, Alex Salky,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: who supports the governor but says, you got to do something.
• 33:47
  Speaker 20: The concern here is that this has been going on
• 33:50
  Speaker 20: longer than most people knew about.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: We don't know the details. It's been going on for
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: long enough that maybe we should know the details. And
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: there's the problem.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: This is a governor that said, I'm going to be
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: the most transparent governor New Jersey has ever seen. And
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: we have A simmering scandal, probably hasn't risen to a
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: scandal yet, but a simmering scandal that has going on
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: for months that there was an investigation that was launched
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: by her that nobody knew anything about.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: So let me assume he's going to play the race card.
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: He's an African-American. His complexion will be his protection. He'll
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: try to get the state NAACP to support him. But
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: you see, the previous lieutenant governor was black. She passed
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: away in office, Oliver. So he can't say he was
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: the first. So, man, this has intrigue. My prediction, as
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: she does a pivot and shift, your governor, you'll end
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: up with a female lieutenant governor because you rarely have
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: those kind of problems with a female.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Let me first give, real quickly, because we have the
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: news coming up, the statement he made. As the first
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: single black man to serve in government here this high.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: I'm.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Used to false accusations. So you're absolutely right.
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: Up next, our White House correspondent, John Decker, who is
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: live from the mini convention in Dallas for the Republicans.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Well, as you know, in Dallas, they're having a midterm
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: convention for the Republicans, something that Donald Trump threw together,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: a two day event. And there was a few surprises there.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump, of course, was the main speaker. But We'll
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: get the latest on everything that happened from John Decker,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: WOR White House and Washington correspondent and host of the podcast,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: The White House Briefing Room with John Decker. That can
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: be found on the iHeartRadio app. John, you know, I
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: said there were a few surprises. I want to play
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: something for you that you know well about, but I
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: want to play it for everybody that's listening. This was
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: the biggest surprise.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Yes, I'm Senator John Fetterman, Pennsylvania. Yes, I'm a Democrat.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Why am I.
• 36:02
  Speaker 21: Here talking to you today? Because, well, I'm a common
• 36:05
  Speaker 21: sense Democrat. I'm always going to stand with America. I'm
• 36:09
  Speaker 21: always going to reject the extremes and socialism and that
• 36:13
  Speaker 21: anti-American way of life.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: He was attacking a lot of Democrats at the end there.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: There is a lot of speculation at this point he's
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: going to become a Republican, or at least caucus with
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: the Republicans after the midterms.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: What do you think, John?
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: Well, what I think is that he has said that
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: he will not switch parties formally, even if there is
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: a switch in Congress in terms of who controls the Senate.
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: So he's said that publicly. The speech that John Fetterman
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: delivered by video yesterday got a very muted reaction from
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: inside the convention hall. And that was pretty interesting to me.
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: I think that John Fetterman is essentially a man without
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: a party. He is not someone who's welcome in the
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: Democratic Party. And at least I saw the reaction from
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: Republicans in that convention hall. He's not someone who's necessarily
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: welcome other than his vote in the Republican Party. He's
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: really an anomaly. And I think that this is likely
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: his last term in the U.S. Senate.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: It's interesting you say that because the polls in Pennsylvania
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: have him very low with Democrats, down in the 30s,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: some in the high 20s. But the polls with Republicans
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: are pretty good for him in Pennsylvania. So it really
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter how they feel about him in Dallas or
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: how some of the people that went to that convention went.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: It's going to matter how the voters in Pennsylvania feel
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: about him. So if he were to run, say, as
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: a Republican, as of right now, he could win.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I've seen this play out before. Remember a guy
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: named Arlen Specter?
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, sure.
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: Arlen Specter switched parties. Didn't work out well for him.
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: So look, you know, I'm a person who knows Pennsylvania
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: politics probably better than anyone. I worked for the most
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: beloved U.S. senator ever from Pennsylvania, a guy named John Hines. And,
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: you know, to me, John Fetterman has some issues politically. And,
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: you know, we'll see whether he can work out those issues.
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: But as you point out, his approval rating within his
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: own party is extremely low. He would likely get a
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: primary challenge, and he would likely lose in that primary.
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: And that's exactly what Arlen Specter faced in his own
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: party way back when. He switched parties and it didn't
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: work out well for him ultimately. He was defeated at
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: the polls, and I think that's the same route that
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: John Fetterman is facing as he considers what his political
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: future looks like.
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: Well, John, you were in the hole for the midterm
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: Republican convention and the theme speech given by the president.
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: The hook of it that came out is this $ 5, 000
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: promise dividend.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: If you... I didn't quite get it.
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: You'll get this bribe if you keep the Republicans in
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: the House and the Senate in majority because you can't
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: give a dividend. That's what you give when you have stocks.
• 39:16
  Speaker 15: So.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: What the hell was the president talking about?
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, this is actually you may recall, Larry, I
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: actually proposed this idea to him back in July of
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: last year. I asked the president, what he'd consider with
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: all the tens and tens of billions of dollars in
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: tariff money coming into the U.S. Treasury, whether he would consider,
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: I called it a tariff rebate check. He calls it
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: a Trump dividend. But whatever you call it, that's what
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: the president said he's considering. There are two provisions. Two
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: conditions associated with it. Let me skip the word proviso.
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: Two conditions. One, Republicans have to control the House and
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: the Senate after the midterms. And the other is you
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: have to spend the money, the president says, on only
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: American products. This is going to be problematic. You need
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: congressional approval to spend something that would be in the
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: order of $ 1 trillion. That's how much it would cost
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: the U.S. Treasury if you're going to apply what the
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: president pledged. in reality to every American adult who is
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: in the country. One trillion dollars. Think about that number.
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: There are some Republicans, by the way, who were against
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: the idea of a Trump rebate check, saying essentially we
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: need to pay down our debt before we consider giving
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: money back to the American taxpayer.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: You know, you can usually tell the success of these things,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: or maybe that's not the way to phrase it, the
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: mood in the country by who shows up and who
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: doesn't show up. Who didn't show up that did so
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: for good reasons?
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: Well, I think that you have some individuals who may
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: not have been welcome at this convention, and the first
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: person who comes to mind is is John Thune. There
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: were some boos when the president mentioned the Senate majority
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: leader last night at the convention. He's not here for
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: the two-day convention. One person who is there, however, someone
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: you're familiar with, a guy named Mike Lawler. Mike Lawler
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: has essentially said, I don't care. I'm going to be
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: with the president. I want to be attached to the president.
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: I want to be attached to the president's policy. So
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: he's taking time away from a very, very competitive congressional
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: race to travel down to Dallas to make a speech
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: and to be there with the president during the course
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: of the two days this convention's going on.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Mike Lawler's looking for a job if he loses.
• 41:39
  Speaker 10: Well, that's exactly right.
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: You know, I mean, look, you know that race better
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: than I do. And, you know, when I was in
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: New York last week, I saw quite a few Mike
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: Lawler campaign commercials. So maybe he's doing some fundraising down
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: here in Dallas along with attending the president's speeches and
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: also delivering a speech of his own.
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: Now, John, I really have vertigo on this administration and
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: how they refer to whatever you want to call this
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: thing on whatever given day it is with Iran.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: The other day, J.D. Vance says it's not a war.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: Last night, correct me, because you were there.
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: The president said gas prices will come down when the
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: war is over with Iran. So what the hell is it?
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: The president called it a war last night.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: J.D.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: Vance, who speaks tonight, said it's not a war. They
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: can't even get on the same page about what this is.
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Curtis, you know, I guess someone, it only required
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: going through the speech and looking to make certain that
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: the word war was not contained in the president's remarks.
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: Could it simply X that out? deleted it and changed
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: it to conflict, maybe. But, yeah, the president did use
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: the word war last night, a week after the vice president, J.D. Vann,
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: said what the U.S. has been involved with as it
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: relates to Iran since late February, since February the 28th, is.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: Not a war.
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: But there is a blockade going on, and under international law,
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: a blockade is possible. and an action that is only
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: taken during wartime. So, yeah, I guess you have to
• 43:17
  Speaker 5: get your stories double-checked and make certain that those who
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: speak on the administration, including the vice president and the president,
• 43:28
  Speaker 5: are essentially using the same terminology.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: It's fascinating they picked Texas for this midterm convention. I
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: think that shows in part the importance of the Senate
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: race there. Because if Telerico were to beat Paxton, I
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: think they'd lose the Senate because it shows a mood
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: across the country. That's a seat they should never lose.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Did you get that feeling as well? Was it very
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: much about that Senate race?
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely.
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: Ken Paxton was the first Senate candidate who's in a
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: competitive race to address the convention. And he's addressing, when
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: he did so, his fellow Texans. And I agree with you.
• 44:08
  Speaker 5: It's pretty remarkable that some polls show him trailing Tallarico
• 44:14
  Speaker 5: in this head-to-head contest for November. And that's pretty remarkable
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: when you consider what a red state Texas is. Now,
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: Republicans have their own opportunity to flip a Senate seat.
• 44:26
  Speaker 5: That's in Michigan. So you could actually see a situation
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: where Texas is lost by Republicans, but they gain a
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: seat in Michigan to offset the loss in Texas. We'll
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: just have to wait and see. Obviously, it's up to
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: the voters, but Republicans are increasingly feeling more and more
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: confident about flipping the Senate seat now held by a
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: Democrat in the state of Michigan.
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: Now, question, John Decker. The president once again said, I
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: am asking you to pretend that I am on the ballot.
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: I have never heard anybody ever mention pretend i'm on
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: the ballot in order to get you to vote uh
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: i i don't think that's a working uh strategy.
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: Well yeah he's said it a few times over the
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: course of the past few weeks said it last night
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: of course in his remarks nearly two hours uh that's
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: how long the president spoke uh and that's what the
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: president believes is necessary to energize republicans imagine He says
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: that I'm at the top of the ticket. He is
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: not at the top of the ticket. This is a
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: midterm and turnout for midterms is always considerably less than
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: turnout in general elections. And what Republicans fear is that
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: the energy level that they see on the Democratic side
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: will not be there on the Republican side in all elections. Curtis,
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: you know this quite well. It's all about turnout, getting
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: your people to vote more than your opponents. And right now,
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: there's a fear on the Republican side that they, the Republicans,
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: will not be able to match the enthusiasm that Democrats
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: have for going to the polls, either early voting or
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: on November the 3rd.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: John Decker, WOR White House and Washington correspondent, host of
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: the podcast, The White House Briefing Room with John Decker,
• 46:19

  Speaker 2: Because how do.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: You turn down somebody when you're in a mall and
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: they have a stand? How do you turn down your
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: own granddaughter? How do you turn down colleagues' kids that
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: send out the emails and say, hey, it's Girl Scout
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: cookie time again?
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: You never watched that Larry David episode in his Beverly
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: Hills mansion when he slammed the door on him and
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: he was cursing them.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: Get out of, get off of my property. I'm going
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: to call the cops.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what makes it so funny because nobody else
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: can do that.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: Nobody else can turn.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: Down the Girl Scouts.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: The cookies are great. They are good. They are good.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: I love the Samoas. Great's a strong word. Just unbelievable.
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: And, by the way, the best salesperson in the world,
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: even the Boy Scouts have pimped their ride and recruited
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: the Girl Scouts to join the Boy Scouts.
• 48:59
  Speaker 22: Oh, I know.
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: Specifically just to sell the cookies to raise money for
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: the Boy Scouts of America. I try to find other
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: ways out of the supermarket.
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: Because I know I'm going to end up buying. It's
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: some little girl. And the parents are smart. They stand back.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: They stand back and just let the little girl.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: Why don't you want to buy?
• 49:19
  Speaker 22: Why?
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: I spend a lot of money on these cookies.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: I can't eat them all. I end up giving them away.
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: You can always send them to the troops. I'm a
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: good salesperson. I've done it for a lot of years. Yeah,
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: I know. I know.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Thank God I don't have to deal with you. So
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: did you do it as a Girl Scout?
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: I did it as a Girl Scout and as a
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: mom and as a troop leader.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: Send it to the troops. Does that work?
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness. All the time. So do I.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: Just buy it and you send it or do I
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: have to send it myself?
• 49:50
  Speaker 16: No, no, no.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: You don't have to send it yourself. We do all
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: the work.
• 49:52
  Speaker 17: All right.
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: Why do these young ladies become such proficient salespeople? Is
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: it because nobody wants to say no when they come
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: to your door?
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: And it's a great product.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if they're great salespeople. They just have
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: to show up to your door and say, do you
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: want to buy some Girl Scout cookies? How do you
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: say no?
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: How do you say no? They're selling a good product
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: and they're adorable. And it gives them confidence. It's a
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: great idea. Now they have an additional offering.
• 50:21
  Speaker 17: I know.
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: It has nothing to do with human beings. Two additional offerings.
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: You go first with the one the dog wants.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: To doggy cookies.
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: And you know people, a lot of people, some don't
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: have children, but they have a dog. So they'll say, oh,
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: but we have now a cookie for your dog.
• 50:38
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: That's what they're going to say. Exactly that.
• 50:41
  Speaker 10: I'm telling you.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: The Girl Scouts are marketing geniuses. They do.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: They make a lot of money. And the Boy Scouts,
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: the poor Boy Scouts keep trying and they can't come
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: up with anything.
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: Cub Scouts, nothing.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: Nobody wants a blueberry muffin flavored cookie developed by Bark,
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: which is a New York based seller of dog treats
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: and toys. The cookies dubbed Patch Pals will be sold online.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: Also joining the Girl Scouts cookie lineup in January are Sparkables.
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: The organization's first allergy-friendly cookie. Oh, there goes that excuse, too.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: The crunchy oatmeal cookie, which has chocolate chips and colored sprinkles,
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: was developed by New Jersey's Partake Foods. They're good for
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: egg allergies, milk allergies, peanut allergies, wheat allergies, tree nut allergies,
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: and sesame allergies. They have all the allergies covered.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: Got it all covered for you.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: No more excuses from anybody. You have to come up
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: with something else.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: Just buy a box or two. Come on.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: I buy like– I buy 30. Good for you. Without exaggerating,
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: I buy about 30.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: So you could buy a case. Yeah, you could buy
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: by the case.
• 51:52
  Speaker 23: I do buy cases.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: Not any cheaper, though, by the case. From my granddaughter.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: How do I turn her down?
• 51:57
  Speaker 10: I know.
• 51:58
  Speaker 13: All right.
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: Let's get a couple talkbacks in.
• 52:00
  Speaker 15: I'm going to make a quick prediction, and that is
• 52:03
  Speaker 15: if gas prices remain high, I don't care if Trump
• 52:07
  Speaker 15: has given away a house. a Maserati, I don't care
• 52:11
  Speaker 15: what it is, because every time you go to that
• 52:13
  Speaker 15: gas station and fill up with gas prices where they
• 52:17
  Speaker 15: are right now, you're just going to be mad every
• 52:19
  Speaker 15: single day. And that is what people are going to
• 52:22
  Speaker 15: recognize every time they fill up.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: The only thing the Republicans are going to have going
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: for them is they have a whole lot more money.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: And the Democrats have some good candidates, but they have
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: some real stinkers. And so, They might have some problems
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: just because of candidates, but I agree with you.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: That has to come down.
• 52:45
  Speaker 8: Larry Mamdani's been sitting on this report until this week.
• 52:49
  Speaker 8: He waited all this time to say.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: Hey, look, a lot of people died, but more died
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: in the aftermath.
• 52:54
  Speaker 14: You should be mad about that, not mad about the
• 52:56
  Speaker 14: people that actually attacked the building.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: That's kind of what he's saying. I don't know if
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: it's that. I don't know.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, I want to not believe that. You're saying
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: he's covering for the people that hit the building. I
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: don't know about that. I mean, you're right. The timing
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: of it is political.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: I get that.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: It takes a lot of the heat off of him
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: that they didn't want him to go. I get that, too.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: But he did a good thing. I don't really care
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: about any of that.
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: And remember, everything is political. That's why I don't trust
• 53:26
  Speaker 4: any politicians. He had it for three months. They discovered
• 53:30
  Speaker 4: it three months ago. It obviously takes some time to
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: go through 170,000 reports, but the timing was very favorable
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: to Zoran, who was getting hammered about him going to 9-11.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which makes it suspect, which makes it fodder.
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: But the information we needed. No, absolutely. And he provided
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: the portal.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: And more than anything else, I don't care about all
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: the rest of this stuff. I just, I don't care.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: This is so important. A lot of people that I
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: know have been waiting for this information. A lot of
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: people I know have been dying for this information. Now
• 54:06

• 56:04
  Speaker 4: Oh my God, we'll be talking to Joe Neumeier, our
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: movie guy up next, and this Kips Bay closing of
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: its theaters. has tremendous demonstrations taking place. I can't figure
• 56:16
  Speaker 4: this out. Maybe he can help us. But I will
• 56:19
  Speaker 4: rip from the headlines a story that is replicated all
• 56:23
  Speaker 4: over America and could victimize you or someone you know
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: or someone you love because of the availability of personal
• 56:33
  Speaker 4: information that you think is sacred sacrosanct that should not
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: be available to everyone well guess what welcome to the
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: new world where if you run a data bank or
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: a person a personal site page You can basically make
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: available people's personal information for two bucks, and it's legal,
• 56:54
  Speaker 4: and they're doing it all the time. So in this
• 56:56
  Speaker 4: particular case, it was 2.40 in the morning. A woman
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: sees a flashlight and a shadow outside her window. Police
• 57:03
  Speaker 4: say the man in her backyard was a registered sex offender.
• 57:07
  Speaker 4: He had let himself into her bedroom with a sailor's
• 57:11
  Speaker 4: key card, and he watched her sleep.
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: He's a freak.
• 57:16
  Speaker 4: He never met the woman in bed. He's sure on
• 57:19
  Speaker 4: social media, researched her, found all of her personal information
• 57:23
  Speaker 4: for two bucks and it was legal to get. This
• 57:26
  Speaker 4: could be happening to you or someone you love or
• 57:29
  Speaker 4: someone you know. You need to spread the word because
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: you got to build your own firewall like I have
• 57:33

  Speaker 4: I don't know, my Joe Neumeier, a movie guy, I've
• 58:18
  Speaker 4: never seen this in my life in New York City.
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: Community rallies to save the Kips Bay Movie Theater, which
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: is right by Bellevue and NYU. It's 15 small chop
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: shop theaters, nothing special about it. It's not like a
• 58:35
  Speaker 4: landmark theater.
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: What is this, Joe?
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, some have said they've never seen a bigger
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: reaction to any local issue.
• 58:44
  Speaker 10: I support this 100%. I think this is one of
• 58:48
  Speaker 10: those things about living in New York that you sort
• 58:51
  Speaker 10: of forget about, like the livability aspect. I actually used
• 58:54
  Speaker 10: to live right near there. I went to that movie
• 58:55
  Speaker 10: theater a lot.
• 58:56
  Speaker 5: At Kips Bay.
• 58:56
  Speaker 10: I used to live on Lexington Avenue in like 28th Street. And,
• 59:00
  Speaker 10: you know, there's nothing really around there movie-wise that if
• 59:04
  Speaker 10: it shuts down, you know, you've got, if you want
• 59:07
  Speaker 10: to walk to Union Square, I mean, it's sort of
• 59:09
  Speaker 10: such a New York-y thing, right? But you can go
• 59:11
  Speaker 10: to Union Square, which is 20 blocks and two avenues away.
• 59:14
  Speaker 10: So pack a lunch and, you know, hope that your
• 59:17
  Speaker 10: movie is going to be longer than your commute to there.
• 59:19
  Speaker 10: Or 19th Street and Broadway or up to 42nd Street.
• 59:22
  Speaker 10: The folks who live in that community, in that neighborhood,
• 59:24
  Speaker 10: really are underserved by movie theaters, which, as we know,
• 59:28
  Speaker 10: people from, look at everything that's made money from Spider-Man
• 59:31
  Speaker 10: to The Odyssey, people want to go to movies and
• 59:34
  Speaker 10: people want to, you know, enjoy the community feel. And
• 59:37
  Speaker 10: for this theater to shut down, it leaves them with
• 59:39
  Speaker 10: sort of nothing. Going uptown is even worse. 30 blocks
• 59:43
  Speaker 10: up to, like, 62nd Street. So I support this. And
• 59:47
  Speaker 10: the community there, a lot of the folks, I guess
• 59:49
  Speaker 10: Natalie and I were just talking, a lot of the
• 59:50
  Speaker 10: folks who go to the hospital there, if they've got
• 59:53
  Speaker 10: family members in there and they want a break, they
• 59:55
  Speaker 10: go to the movie theater to relax a little bit
• 59:58
  Speaker 10: as a chance to kind of get their head together.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 10: What are they going to do, go to the CVS
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 10: now or a Chase ATM? I think this is a
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 10: horrible thing. It shuts at the end of the year.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: I hope that the AMC.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 10: company can, it can somehow find it to, you know,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 10: I'm sure the rent is extraordinary. I mean, it's, it's
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 10: a huge real estate footprint, but, uh, I'm with the community.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 10: Keep going on it, you know, fight back.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: Hey, Joe, we're coming up on the, uh, 25th anniversary
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: of nine 11. And I have two young boys that
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: weren't born when nine 11 happened. They're 18 and 22.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: They've learned a little bit about it in schools, but
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: I found, and I've talked to them about it, but, uh,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: I found that one of the ways to really get
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: their attention and learn more about it is through movies.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: And so recently, I'll tell you the one I showed
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: them first. You probably have a great list of movies
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: about this, but I showed them United 93.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: And I thought that was just a wonderful movie. By
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: the way, if you're going to watch that movie, I'm
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: telling people that are listening now, Don't watch Flight 93.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: There's a movie out called that. Not that good.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: But United 93 is wonderful.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: Don't you agree?
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 10: I absolutely agree. In fact, I think it's one of
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 10: the best films about 9-11. That director, Paul Greengrass, by
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 10: the way, has a movie out this weekend called The Uprising.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 10: But United 93 is the.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: One to watch.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 10: It is a tough watch. It's tough, but it helps.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 10: The kids are folks who, especially like you mentioned, your
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 10: kids weren't born at that time, to really understand the
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 10: drama and the heroism that went on on that flight.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 10: Another good one is World Trade Center, also a tough
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 10: watch with Nicolas Cage as a firefighter who's trapped in
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 10: the rubble. He's saved at the end of that movie,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 10: but it is a... That's also really dramatic. Oliver Stone
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 10: directed it. There's also Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: I saw this.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it wasn't successful at the time. Tom Hanks is
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 10: a father who dies in the attacks, and his son,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 10: who has some issues, is trying to reconnect with the
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 10: idea of him through these sort of treasure hunts that
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 10: they went on. That's also a really good movie for kids.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 10: And then there's even one called, it's a musical called
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 10: Come From Away. And it was on Broadway. They made
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 10: a film of it on Apple TV. It's about the
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 10: town in Newfoundland that like 38 flights landed in, and
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 10: they kind of welcomed folks in the days after. That's
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 10: also a really good film to show kids to sort
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 10: of have the understanding. You kind of think it's not
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 10: about 9-11, but it is. And then one last one
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 10: that I want to throw out there, just because it's
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 10: also an early Adam Sandler performance doing a series, and
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 10: it's called Rain Over Me. And it's a really good
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 10: film where Sandler is a guy who lost his family
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 10: on 9-11 and he reconnects with a friend and he
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 10: has sort of just kind of fallen apart in the
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 10: years since. And he and his friend sort of kind
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 10: of get him back going into life. And it's a
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 10: dramatic performance from Adam Sandler, but it's really good. And
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 10: I would recommend that as well. And even for kids,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 10: because it's not, it's an adult movie, but it also
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 10: works with the emotions of that.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: Would you consider Zero Dark Thirty a 9-11 movie?
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 10: I mean, I wouldn't, to be honest. I know a
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 10: lot of people throw it in there. It's obviously about
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 10: the hunt for Bin Laden. I kind of think it
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 10: obviously uses that as the launching off point, but I wouldn't.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 10: I think that's more sort of a CIA block apps,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 10: you know, special forces thing.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: But it's so good. I wouldn't. It's so good. It
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: is so good, though. Yes, it is so good.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 10: I mean, so is the Hurt Locker in its own way, too, right?
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 10: In which one best picture. But, right, Zero Dark Thirty
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 10: is really good, but I don't know if it just
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 10: uses it as a launching off point. And especially for
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 10: kids or for folks who maybe want to have something
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 10: a little bit more kind of down to earth, a
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 10: little bit more kind of understanding the grasping the emotions
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 10: of that day.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 10: But the United 93 is the one that.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 10: Still is so impactful, so impactful and really immediate. You
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 10: really feel like you're on that plane.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: Well, thanks a lot, Joe Neumeier. It's going to be
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: a tough week, but you're right. These movies will live
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: on and will explain 9-11 to a whole generation to come.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: Thanks so much. That was wonderful.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 5: You're welcome.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: Well, Natalie Migliore's Beat on the Street is coming up next.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: She's got kids returning to school one day. After the
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: 25th anniversary of 9-11, are there any solid lesson plans
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: to teach about that day? I know Curtis has been
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: all over this. We'll talk about it next. We'll find
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: out if it's being taught to these kids. The countdown
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: is on for the most talked about music festival on
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: the planet. Our iHeartRadio Music Festival presented by Capital One.

• 1:05:21
  Speaker 16: It's 710 WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 4: Natalie, we're one day away from the commemoration tomorrow, Friday,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: and you've been doing great with your series on 9-11 memories.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: What do you have in store for us today?
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: Well, really what.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 12: We're focusing on today before I head down there tomorrow,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 12: because every year I go down there for the coverage
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 12: and this is a momentous milestone year, 25 years. Really,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 12: it comes as it'll come the day after New York
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 12: City kids go back to school. They're going back to
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 12: school today. And we're focusing on maybe some people who
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 12: don't have memories of this day because they weren't even here.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 12: So as time goes on, the importance of never forgetting
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 12: seems to strengthen for those directly impacted by the events
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 12: and even those just in the area at the time.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 12: And the city council recently announced free field trips to
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 12: the 9-11 Memorial and Museum for Public School Students event.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 12: But the question has become whether or not kids are
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 12: learning about the day in the classroom. I had a
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 12: lengthy conversation with Aaliyah, who says her most impressionable lesson
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 12: did not come from the classroom.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 24: I've heard a lot about 9-11. I personally wasn't alive
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 24: when it happened, but I remember reading a book about it.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 24: It really changed my point of view. It changed how
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 24: I saw it, changed my empathy and how I understood it.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 24: I think that it was really important reading it. It
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 24: was in sixth grade. It was such a monumental book
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 24: for me because it was stuff that I didn't know.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 24: It was stuff that wasn't necessarily talked about, but the
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 24: book really went into depth about it. It talked about
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 24: the personal experiences of people that were in 9-11. And
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 24: I think it just really helped me. And I feel
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 24: like it would be able to help other New Yorkers
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 24: as well.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 12: Yeah, Leah says it's not just reading about that day
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 12: in facts, but hearing personal stories that allowed her to
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 12: connect with what happened. And when I asked if she
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 12: feels people her age in their 20s truly understand what
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 12: happened that day, She says some of her peers could
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 12: use to take a deeper dive.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 24: I think they do. I just don't think that they
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 24: take it serious enough. I think there are way too
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 24: many jokes made about it, considering how many people died
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 24: in such a tragedy, how many people have trauma about
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 24: it now, how many people are still reliving that moment.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 24: I think that it's one of those situations where it
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 24: shouldn't be a joke because there are people still alive
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 24: that experienced 9-11.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 12: Now, FDNY First Deputy Commissioner William Fiam died responding to
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 12: the attacks that day, but his son and grandson weigh
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 12: in on how this day in history differently makes its impact.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 18: Informing, especially younger generations, I don't know, anything that happened
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 18: before us, it's like, yeah, we're taught about it, but
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 18: the emotional stamp isn't there. And I don't know if
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 18: anybody's at fault for that. And I don't know if
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 18: that necessarily needs to change because This is what happens
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 18: in the world, you know, and it's terrible to say that,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 18: but tragedies happen. And this is unique to us because
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 18: it happened to us, but tragedies happen all around the
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 18: world and they're all equally terrible.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 25: You know, the other part, what inspiration are we taking? What,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 25: you know, what is our North Star in life, right?
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 25: And we saw a lot. We saw the actions of
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 25: those people that day. And then we saw the actions
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 25: of all the people that came to help and supported us.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: And, you know, what are we doing.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 25: And, you know, what is our focus? And so I
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 25: think I consider it a sacred obligation, you know, to
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 25: try to do my best to emulate that in whatever
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 25: small way that I'm given the opportunity to do.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 12: Now, even though 40 states mandate 9-11 to be taught
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 12: in some form, there's no tight curriculum.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: There's no true curriculum that needs to be finalized.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 12: Simply put, from one impacted directly, there are so many
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 12: resources to learn about this day.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: Listen, we are 25 years post-disaster today.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 10: With a lot of people that clearly don't understand what
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 10: occurred that day.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: Educate and talk about it, just like you and I
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: are sitting here talking about it now. I mean, somebody
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: needs to get on.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 12: Google simply google it maybe rather than sitting there and
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 12: not knowing about it but really that deeper dive there
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 12: is no true curriculum in in new york city public.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 4: Schools today as you pointed out first day of registration
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 4: 885 000 students less than we've had before tomorrow is
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 4: a mandatory school day there's no day off you would
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 4: think they would devote the entire day the explanations on
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 4: what had happened. As you pointed out, none of these
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 4: folks were alive. Many of the teachers weren't alive at
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 4: that time. And just deal with the facts so that
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 4: young people are at least exposed to this. Many of
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 4: them will not be exposed to this at home. And
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 4: I guarantee you, when we return on Monday, because I'm
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 4: going to be asking around, it's probably not going to
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 4: be discussed. It hasn't been discussed in previous years. My
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 4: own sons who've gone to public schools have said, Oh, Daddy,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 4: they don't discuss it because they say it'll hurt people's feelings.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 12: That's the reasoning behind it for some teachers or you
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 12: think schools as a whole?
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 4: Well, it starts at the top and it filters down.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 4: So at the very top, we'll see if it's done
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 4: on Friday, not just here, but other school districts outside
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 4: of New York City.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Natalie.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: Natalie Migliore is going to be back tomorrow morning with
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: several reports from downtown at the 9-11 ceremony.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Natalie.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: Well, FDNY unions are now responding to 9-11 toxic air records.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: That's after the 8 o'clock news.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: For 25 years, they were hidden.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: For 25 years, we didn't know, although we could guess
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: and assume how dangerous the air was in the remnants
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: of 9-11, in the remnants of the falling of the
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: two towers.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: Now we know. Finally, we know. The information that was.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: Stored in 68 boxes in his city office, for a
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: while they said it was missing. They just kept lying
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: to us, administration after administration after administration. And now we
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: find out, thanks to Mayor Zorin Mamdani, who released the files,
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: released 170,000 pages of it, and that's not nearly all
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: of it. More is going to be released. I guess
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: right now it's being redacted, and I wish they would
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: not redact a line of it. But now we know
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: that up to three weeks later, after the fall of
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: the towers, when you had men and women on the
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: pile looking for bodies and trying to rebuild for months afterwards,
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: there was toxic air filled with asbestos and other poisons.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: And then 10 months later, we find out that blocks away,
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: asbestos and poisons were still in the air. And all
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: that time, You had men and women on the pile, citizens, FDNY, NYPD,
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: people from across the country just trying to help, breathing
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: in poison day after day after day for hours on end,
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: breathing in poison. And the city knew, and the city
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: did nothing. And so finally, there are some unions that
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: are speaking out about this. One union came out now.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there's going to be others to follow. But
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: he was wonderful. I'm glad he was the first one
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: out of the box. FDNY Deputy Chief Jim Brasi. Jim
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: Brasi is the president of the United Firefighters Officers Association.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 3: They went through great lengths to making sure you did
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 3: not know the totality of the situation and what they
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 3: knew when they made the choice to sacrifice its residents
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 3: and its first responders for what they believed was the
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 3: greater good.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 3: And that is the atrocity that happened after 9-11.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: Using the word atrocity is exactly what he should be used.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: You know how many people died because of their lies?
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: You know how many people died because of information that
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: was hidden from them?
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: Thousands.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: There's people that are sick still. There's people that are
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: dying still.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 3: It is appalling that they did this to us, despite
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 3: our willingness to knowingly go into that environment repeatedly for
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 3: long-term exposures, long after the acute exposure of that day,
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 3: to give dignity to the people that were lost, to
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 3: give the greatest possible effort towards a recovery, and then
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 3: hopes to put New York back on its firm footing
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: that it was on the days before 9-11.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: And before anybody argues, well, it wouldn't have mattered. The
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: poisons were still going to be on the air. It
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have mattered. No, they could have had gear on.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: And as Chief Brosny explains, there's a lot of things
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: they could have done if they just had the information.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 3: Had they been more transparent about those toxins, we probably
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: would have stalled recovery, got better decon, set up better facilities,
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 3: set up better work rotations so that we could have
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 3: limited the exposures.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: There has to be a further investigation. All the documents
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: must be released. This should be a federal investigation, not
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: a local investigation, because there's too many people who are
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: going to cover their own butts in this whole thing
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: and cover up for friends. This has got to be
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: a federal investigation, and I hope Donald Trump gets involved.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: I certainly hope the Justice Department gets involved, because people
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: deserve Curtis to be in jail.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 4: Now, I know there are many out there probably saying, hey, look,
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 4: United Firefighters Association, that's the members, and UFO, those are
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 4: the officers, are probably doing this to curry favor with
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 4: Joran Mondami. You couldn't be more hopelessly wrong. Having known
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 4: these men, having met with them, trying to get their
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 4: endorsement in the mayoral elections twice, I can assure you
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 4: there were no Mondami supporters in those meetings.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 21: None!
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 4: Eddie Brown was the treasurer, one of my greatest guardian angels.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 4: He saved my life in New Orleans. I would have
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 4: been shot in the head and dead.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: He knew everybody.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 4: He introduced me to everybody. These people are not supporters.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 4: But they're so enraged. Yesterday at their annual commemoration in
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 4: Staten Island, they had this sign out that says 343
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 4: plus still counting.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: Because.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 4: They've had 12,000 firefighters diagnosed with at least one illness
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 4: and double the number who've died since that day when
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 4: the buildings collapsed. So more than any other union, they
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 4: are so attached to everything that occurred and continues to occur.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 4: And unfortunately for Rudy Giuliani, his response... was not good
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 4: at all. Finally, a member of his staff went on
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 4: social networking and blamed the federal EPA, which was run
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 4: by Christine Whitman at the time, the former governor of
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 4: New Jersey appointed by Bush 43, who said the air
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 4: was clean. You could go into the area, whether you
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 4: were working there, going to school there, living there, which
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 4: many people also got sick as a result of her order.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 4: She has since apologized. But that doesn't exempt the city.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 4: The city has its own Department of Environmental Protection. And
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 4: the Giuliani spokesperson did not address that. Michael Bloomberg, who's
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 4: also implicated in this because he didn't release any of
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 4: these details. His response, I mean, is mind boggling. And
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 4: here's the guy who's going to host the commemoration as
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 4: he does every year. He has personally funded the museum.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 4: and all the outreach that's been done to try to
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 4: inform not just tourists, but everyone of what took place
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 4: on that horrible day. And it seemed like, maybe you
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 4: can quote his post, but it didn't at all make
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 4: reference to the 170,000 documents. It seemed to talk about
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 4: just the rebuilding of lower Manhattan in the aftermath of
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 4: the attack.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: No, that's what he said. He bragged. He bragged about
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: what he did.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: On that day.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: His timing was horrible. He was so tone deaf in
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: all of this. But let's remember, and look, please, please
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: don't leave a talkback talking about politics. There's no politics
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: in this. There's none. No politics. We're talking about Republican
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: and Democratic administrations, all that hid the information. They were
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: all complicit. And listen, I am not a fan of
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: Zoran Mamdani. I will go back to criticizing him next week.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: I don't like anything he's done. I think he's failed
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: and failed and failed and failed and failed. But I
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: can give him credit for this.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: And I don't want.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: I'm just getting tired of the talkbacks going, oh, well,
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: he just did this to save his own butt.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 3: Maybe.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 19: Maybe.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 6: Maybe.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: But the greater good is better than any self-interest. The
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: greater good is so great when we finally got this
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: information that to me, nothing else matters. And certainly it
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: should to you. And I know it does to the
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: first responders. And I know it does. They are so angry.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: The ones that I used to go down with buses
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: on to Washington to fight for the James Zadroga Act,
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: to give them funding, to give them medical care as
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: they're dying, they're angry. Of course they're angry. They don't
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: know if they're next. There's many people alive today that
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: were there at the towers, at the rubble, who don't
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: know if they're next.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 4: No, no, no.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: There has to be a reckoning on this.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 4: So, Larry, four administrations have been faulted for hiding the records,
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 4: including the number one supporter of Zoran Mandami, Bill de Blasio.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 4: So he didn't just go at his critics or his enemies, obviously.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 4: Adams did not support him. Bloomberg actually supported Cuomo with money.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 4: And we know Rudy has no love for Mondami. But
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 4: de Blasio couldn't be more of a booster or a supporter.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 4: So this report implicates all four administrations for hiding the
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 4: information and not being transparent. So there had to be
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 4: a calculated effort made to keep these boxes out of sight,
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 4: out of mind with all the materials that we have
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 4: a right to see.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: Transparency. And you will have a portal. And just like when.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 4: We had the files, the obscene files, and remember they
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 4: started posting them. There's going to be a lot of
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 4: files here. And you can all look at it yourself
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 4: and come to your own conclusions. But at least it's
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 4: out in the open now and not being hidden.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: But think about why they didn't release this. Think about it.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: It's for money.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: It's because they didn't want to have to pay the money.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: And that's it. That's the bottom line. And that is
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: what is so sinister, what's so despicable about this. The
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: human lives didn't matter. People could work on the pile,
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. People could continue to die, doesn't matter. As
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: a matter of fact, they probably got even more frightened
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: when people were dying than, oh, no. We're going to
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: be held responsible for this. Remember, for a while, they
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: pretended they didn't know where the files were.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: They just lost them.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: And they were never lost.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: That was a lie as well. So let me clarify.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 4: They were in the city bureau of the Environmental Protection Organization.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 4: That is a city agency packed in boxes. People knew
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 4: where they were. This administration, Zohra Mandami, found them three
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 4: months ago and started going through them, and now they're
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 4: posting them. So maybe you say he should have released
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 4: them then.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 4: But everything's political. That's why I don't trust any politicians.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 4: You heard me say that again and again. Friend or foe,
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 4: I don't trust any. All I care is they were released.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: That's it. That's it.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: That's the bottom line. That's all I care about. When
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: we come back, a bald eagle has been spotted in
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: the city.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, man. A bald eagle? First the otters in the
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: Bronx River, now a bald eagle in the Bronx? Is
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: it wearing a bulletproof vest?
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 4: And the week of 9-11, we will tell you where
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 4: and in advance everything we're going to be talking about
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 4: tomorrow because that's what we're dedicating this to, plus a
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 4: chance to see Andrea Bocelli next.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: Well, Natalie just had a wonderful... observation saying that a
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: bald eagle has shown up in new york city on
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: the precipice of the 9-11 remembrance the 25th remembrance that
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: is that is incredible you're right and it's still here
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: and it's being seen all around the bronx what looking majestic.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah and we better get a bulletproof vest on that
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 4: eagle are you kidding Are you kidding with the gang
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 4: wars that are going on there now? I could easily
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 4: see some guy say, watch me cap an eagle out
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 4: of the sky.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: Well, while it lives, people think it's pretty special.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 26: It's like a top 10 moment for me because I've
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 26: just never seen anything that close that was so majestic.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 26: It seems like it could just spread its wings and
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 26: just go after anything in the area. It was a
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 26: little weird at first, but it seemed to be just
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 26: hanging out.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: Have you seen the picture of it?
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: No. It is majestic. It's big and it's majestic.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm worried about.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 7: Stop.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: It's like it came right out of a painting.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: It is just beautiful.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: And by the way, they said this isn't the first one.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: They've been flying around the river up there. And they
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: also said that because this is happening, and remember this,
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: the otter that we saw a couple months ago. Yeah,
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: the Bronx River. That because of that, it shows that
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: Things are getting cleaner and the air is getting cleaner
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: and the water is getting cleaner. And now animals are
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: starting to come back.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 27: Oh, man.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: Better get out of the Bronx, bald eagle. Get out
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: of the Bronx quick.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 12: Curtis, I know you said you didn't see him because
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 12: he looks like out of Central Casting for a bald eagle.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 8: Isn't it amazing?
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: He can protect himself. It looks like a movie eagle.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 9: Yeah, no, absolutely.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: A Hollywood eagle. There's no doubt about it. It's AI eagle.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 4: I'll redirect that eagle to a safer location.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, just enjoy the wonder of it for a second
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: before saying it's going to be shot.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 28: I have to say that the Girl Scout cookies, I
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 28: think they changed the recipe. They just don't taste the
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 28: same to me. Either that or I got old and
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 28: my taste buds have changed. Something's different to me. I mean,
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 28: I still buy them, of course, but they're just not
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 28: the same. Does anybody else feel that way?
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do, but I'm afraid to say something like
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: that because I don't want the Girl Scouts.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: Coming after me. I'll tell you, I think they taste
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 2: the same.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 16: I really do.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: Maybe a smidge smaller. Oh, the thin mints taste exactly
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: the same. I agree, too. That's true. I agree. That's true.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: Not all of them taste as good as they used to.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: I'll agree with you on that. Go ahead. Say more.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 4: Say more.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: Come on, Larry. Say what you really mean. First he
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: had the Taylor Swift people.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 28: Now he's going to have all three girls count the
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 28: world after him.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 2: Go for it, Larry.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 29: Another great 9-11 movie is a documentary called The Man
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 29: in the Red Bandana. This follows what Wells Crother from Nyack,
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 29: New York, did to save at least six lives before
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 29: dying himself. And he was recently given the Presidential Medal
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 29: of Freedom. It's certainly worth a look.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: Recently, just two days ago.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the other day the president went on and recognized
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 4: his valor. in front of many of his peers and colleagues.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: Why isn't anyone talking about the Charlie Kirk statue being
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: unveiled in the middle of Times Square today?
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 7: It's beautiful.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 4: We'll talk about it towards the end of the program.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 4: I've got a lot to say about that.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 7: How ironic that Zorin Madami, who Trump was vowed to
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 7: use as a poster child for inner-city communistic decay, and
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 7: who all the 9-11 victims want to prevent from attending
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 7: the ceremonies has turned the table on former Republican leadership
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 7: such as Bush and Whitman and former heroes such as
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 7: Giuliani by uncovering this entire scheme.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah he didn't do anything they did this to themselves
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: it is obscene that they hid this And I don't
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: care who was the one that exposed it.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: I don't care.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: It's not the perfect person to expose it, I understand.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: But I give him credit for doing so, no matter
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: the reasons.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: Agreed? Totally agreed.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 4: And putting it up on a portal so we can
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 4: all see it for ourselves. Not telling us what's in it,
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 4: like sometimes people do. We'll release it in months. But
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 4: it's up in a portal now with more to come. Well,
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 4: how about we start giving away some tickets right now?
• 1:27:05

• 1:27:48
  Speaker 9: Sunny, warm, and humid today, guys. We'll see a high
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 9: of 86 degrees. Summer is over for about a million
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 9: kids who attend New York City public schools. That sigh
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 9: of relief you heard this morning, collectively, that's from all
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 9: the parents. They'll return to classes with no AI in
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 9: grades K-8 and strict limits on it for high school students.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 9: President Trump will give the closing remarks tonight at the
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 9: Republican National Committee's first midterm convention. Last night, he gave
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 9: the keynote address and which he urged Republicans to pretend
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 9: that he's on the ballot, even though he's not. New
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 9: Jersey Governor Mikey Sherrill isn't talking when it comes to
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 9: allegations about her second-in-command.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 23: Sherrill took questions from reporters Wednesday over accusations her lieutenant
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 23: governor acted inappropriately with women and is also being investigated
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 23: for possible ethics violations.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 17: I want to make sure every single person who works
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 17: for me does so in an environment where they feel
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 17: safe and supported.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 23: Dale Caldwell denies the allegations. In a letter obtained by
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 23: the New Jersey Business News, Caldwell wrote, I have never
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 23: asked anyone out on a date, hit on, or pursued
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 23: anyone romantically while conducting official business as lieutenant governor and
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 23: secretary of state. Sheryl's office is investigating the matter. I'm
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 23: Scott Pringle, WOR News.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 17: Okay.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 9: The Federal Appeals Court is considering a case which could
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 9: make it harder to get the abortion pill online or
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 9: through the mail. At issue is whether the drug should
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 9: be shipped into Louisiana, given the state's ban on abortion.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 9: And if you thought this summer was hotter than ever.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 20: If you were sweating it out this summer, you weren't alone.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 20: NOAA reports this was the warmest summer ever measured in
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 20: the lower 48 going back 132 years. For just the
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 20: month of August, it was also the warmest with daytime
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 20: averages of 88.6 degrees. It was a wet August in
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 20: parts of the Midwest and Ohio Valley, but drier in
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 20: the Plains and lower Mississippi Valley. Right now, more than 59%
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 20: of the U.S.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 2: Is in a drought. That's 10 points higher than in
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 2: early August. I'm Rory O'Neill.

• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: know the name, you're certainly going to know the voice.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: He is a longtime New York radio news reporter, an
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: alum of WOR, but he's wonderful. Pretty well known for
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: his work at NewsRadio 88. He was the news director
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: there for two decades. He's been a journalist for five decades.
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: He's covered every big story in this city. As a
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: matter of fact, he does have a book out. That's
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: not what we're talking about today, but it's worth mentioning.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: My Front Row Seat, A Newsman's Journey. And I would
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: imagine September 11th, 2001 plays heavy in that book, Tim.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: And that's what we want to talk to you about today.
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining us.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: Hey, Larry. Thank you. That was sweet of you to say. Yeah.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 30: I mean, honestly, September 11th, well, first of all, it's
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 30: a day that none of us will ever forget. And
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 30: not forget just for, you know, what we saw or felt,
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 30: but just how it felt. It feels so heavy even
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 30: today as we look at the 25th anniversary.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 2: And yeah, it was... It's just amazing.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 30: It's overwhelming how many stories there are and how many
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 30: we don't even still know.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, I.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 30: Was looking at a Facebook feed just a little while
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 30: ago and saw a story of a guy that was
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 30: caught in the debris but lived, and I had never
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 30: even heard his story. It's just amazing what we went
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 30: through as a city, as a community, at a day when,
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 30: you know, war was waged on us, you know?
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 4: Now, Tim, this is Curtis Sliwa. On that day, I
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 4: was broadcasting. There was no internet. There was no feed.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 4: When those towers went down, pretty much all TV channels
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 4: were off the air. People were dependent on radio as
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 4: they've been enduring natural emergencies and blackouts. But I remember
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 4: all the misinformation, the rumors about that Flight 93 and
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 4: where it was headed, and it crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 2: But it was targeting... The Capitol building.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 4: So they would have hit the World Trade Center, the
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 4: Pentagon and the Capitol building. How, as a journalist, did
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 4: you handle all those conspiracies when there was really no
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 4: way to know what was going on?
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, Curtis, it's good to hear your voice. Good
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 2: to talk to you. I have to tell you, I
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 2: do remember and it was less.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 30: Rumors and misinformation and more like things were coming out.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 30: So for example, they evacuated the Capitol. They evacuated areas
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 30: around the White House because they had heard a plane
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 30: was still in the air that they were not in
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 30: contact with. That was Flight 93. Didn't really know the
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 30: details about it. All we knew is that they were
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 30: evacuating places. And those little bits of information were being
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 30: delivered because there were journalists in the Capitol that were evacuated.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 30: So That information made it on the air on radio
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 30: and TV as we were doing seat-of-the-pants radio. I remember,
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 30: and I was just at the museum last week with
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 30: my son, and this reminded me, on the Today Show,
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 30: they didn't even know the plane had hit the Pentagon yet,
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 30: but they were told by the producer, go to Jim Miklaszewski,
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 30: the Pentagon reporter. He's got something to report. And Mick
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 30: comes on the air and says, we just felt something.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 30: It was live action footage. horror, terror unfolding before our eyes.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 30: And it was an amazing day. And look, the first
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 30: responders are the real heroes there and the people who
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 30: weren't even uniform, civilians that went into the building in a.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 2: Selfless act, but also the broadcasters that day.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 30: I do believe that the people who ran to the
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 30: trouble to bring that information were heroes in their own
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 30: right as well.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: Let's stay on that day for a second, because you're
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: overseeing news coverage, and as you just pointed out, information
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: is coming at you fast and furious that you have
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: to deal with and you have to respond to. Take
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: us through the day, if you can.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: So, Larry, at that point, I was a national radio correspondent.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 30: Curtis probably remembers it, ABC News.
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 2: So I was a reporter that.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 30: Day, and my day was everybody in New York knew
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 30: probably forgets now, it was primary day.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 2: It was election day.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 30: So as a reporter, I was sleeping in and I
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 30: was running into the city late.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 2: So that probably saved me from being in the midst
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 2: of the horror that quickly.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 30: But when I heard the plane hit the tower, I
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 30: knew that something was going on and I knew I
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 30: had to get in the city. And my morning was
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 30: spent struggling to try and find a way to get
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 30: into Manhattan when it was closed down.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: Every highway was shut down. You couldn't get on by water.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 30: And I ended up, um, uh, finding some sort of
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 30: strategy with my wife and getting her to get me
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 30: a bicycle and a helmet and, uh, meeting up here
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 30: near Rockland County and taking the Tappan Zee bridge and
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 30: getting to the Bronx and riding a bicycle into Manhattan, uh,
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 30: to be there.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 2: And you're right. Managing that kind of chaos, um, is, um,
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 2: there's no, there's no game plan.
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 30: You've got to really sort of go by instinct and, uh,
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 30: What was really troubling is that we lost contact with
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 30: a lot of our colleagues and friends when the towers
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 30: came down. And no one knew the fate of many people.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 30: At WCBS, there was a well-known reporter, Mary Gay Taylor,
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 30: and the towers came down. She was saved because somebody
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 30: grabbed her and threw her underneath a vehicle that saved
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 30: the two of them from getting hit by the debris.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 2: But nobody had heard from her for quite some time.
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 2: And then about an hour later, they heard her voice
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: and everybody was relieved. But that is a story that's.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 30: Told 10,000 times over by people who were looking for
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 30: loved ones when they saw that horror happen on TV.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 4: You know, Tim, journalists get vilified often. But on that day,
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 4: we were so dependent on you and others to get
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 4: us the information that we couldn't get for ourselves. what's
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 4: the lesson to be learned about the role that journalists
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 4: play in our day-to-day lives from that event?
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 30: Well, I love the question, Curtis, and thank you. And
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 30: I think that, you know, you know, the answer is that,
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 30: you know, facts matter. Uh, and so you report what's
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 30: in front of you and that'll never change. And I mean,
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 30: that day obviously taught us that, um, you know, you
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 30: really can, can report on what you see in front
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 30: of you. And this idea of, uh, you know, rumors
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 30: and misinformation, that stuff needs to be vetted.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 2: You can't report on things like that.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 30: And now there's so much information, like a fire hose
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 30: of information, you know, headed our way. We've got to
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 30: really teach the next generation of news consumers and journalists,
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 30: for that matter, to think critically about the information in
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 30: front of them before disseminating. Before you push share on that,
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 30: you know, on your Instagram post or on your feed,
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 30: you really need to be confident that that information that
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 30: you're sharing is is accurate. And that's the real lesson
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 30: that we all need to take from that.
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: Well, very well said. Tim shelled longtime new york radio
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: news reporter w-o-r-l-m alum news radio 88 he ran the
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: newsroom there for two decades and his book is my
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: front row seat a newsman's journey thank you so much
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: for sharing all that with us tim.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 4: We always larry with so much uh taking place leading
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 4: to the commemoration tomorrow of 9-11 Today at 2.33, if
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 4: you're in Times Square, will be the unveiling of a
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 4: bronze statue in honor of Charlie Kirk, who on this
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 4: day was assassinated a year ago by an artist named Fornari,
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 4: who said, look, there's a lot of stuff I didn't
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 4: agree with him on, but his stand about freedom of
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 4: expression and freedom of creation. There are no boundaries, no borders.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 4: That's where we kind of stand together. That's what motivated
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 4: me to do this statue. He did it out of
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 4: his own pocket, this bronze statue, and emblazoned on the
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 4: shirt that the bronze Charlie Kirk is wearing is the
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 4: word freedom, because he stood.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 2: For freedom of speech.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 4: He took on all adversaries rhetorically, and they were some
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 4: of the great debates. In fact, he had debated Hassan Piker,
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 4: and was going to debate him again at Dartmouth on
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 4: September 29th last year. So he was an advocate of
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 4: free speech, and then he was cut down. But my
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 4: relationship with him was not a good one. On July
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 4: 5th of last year, when I was running for mayor,
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 4: he was the first person to come out and say
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 4: I should drop out. And remember, he had a national
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 4: following with Turning Point, well-respected amongst conservatives. And that led
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 4: to almost every day, somebody coming forward, you need to
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 4: drop out. That's when Cuomo had lost to Zorhan Mandami
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 4: in the primary. And Eric Adams had sort of a resurrection.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 4: And he was saying, oh, everybody needs to back Eric Adams. Now,
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 4: I didn't know him. He didn't know me. But when
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 4: he was shot and killed, I was in the green
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 4: room at Fox News Channel watching it on TV because
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 4: I was going to come on at 3 o'clock that
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 4: show and once again answer, no, I'm not dropping out.
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 4: I was the only Republican who came out to his commemoration.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 4: It took place within 48 hours. A lot of younger
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 4: people were there from turning point. And a lot of
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 4: people said, wow, you're here. I said, put aside the
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 4: fact that I was angry that he started this tsunami
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 4: at a national level.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 2: But he was an advocate of free speech. And I've always.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 4: Believed the way I was raised by my father, the
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 4: antidote to hate speech is more free speech. And that's
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 4: what he advocated.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 2: And he was killed for it.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: And he was martyred for that because they were so misunderstood.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: And one of the problems is that Charlie Kirk was brilliant.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk would have gone on. Who the hell knows
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: what he would have been? He was only 31 years old.
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: He might have been a president. I mean, he had
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: a following unlike any conservative probably, well, since Trump and
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: since Reagan. I mean, people that followed him loved him.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 1: And you said he was an advocate of free speech.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: He went beyond most of us when it came to
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: free speech. He wanted to hear from people that disagreed
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: with him. He would pick them out in a crowd, said,
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 1: you come down here. And he was kind. And there's
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: been so much of an aberration about his legacy, how
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 1: he was mean, how he was hateful.
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 2: Never.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: Please, please educate yourself. and watch his videos and watch
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: him on the college campuses. He was a follower of
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ and a follower of God. He was a
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: Christian and he lived by Christian ways and he was
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: killed by it. He was a conservative martyr. And in
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: those who called and said, we should have talked more
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: about him today. You're right. We should, but let's just
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: remember him.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 2: Well said Larry. Well said.
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 4: And in his aftermath at turning point, remember, The breakup
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 4: between Tucker Carlson and Shapiro and Candace Owens.
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 2: What a mess.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 4: This is what happens when you're leaderless for such an
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 4: incredible portion of our country's history. Now, we talked about
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 4: the bald eagle sighting in the Bronx. The talk back
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 4: in the morning and winner of the Curtis Lee and
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 4: Larry Menti in the morning T-shirt said there has been
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 4: another eagle visit during the week we remember September 11th.
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 22: As Curtis was discussing the bald eagle that was spotted
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 22: in the Bronx, the local news station on Long Island
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 22: was reporting on another bald eagle that was spotted in
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 22: Malvern on Long Island.
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 2: It's probably a mate.
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 4: I would suggest the bald eagle in the Bronx cross
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 4: the Long Island Sound and go right to Long Island
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 4: before you get shot out of the sky by gangbangers.
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 4: And remember, the Talkback of the Week will win a
• 1:43:27
