Hour 2: Trump Most Admired Republican President · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, I got to tell you, the quiet storm is
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: with us, Chris, on loan from Mark Simone, while Natalie
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: is mending from the operation she had on her knee.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I'm ready.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: I'm ready to come back soon.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: She's ready and ready and waiting for us right now
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: is John Decker, our White House correspondent for WOR.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Good morning, John.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Curtis.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Larry.
• 0:23
  Speaker 5: Hope you're doing well today.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: But I'm a little confused. Maybe you can help me.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at Truth Social yesterday. The president posted, mission accomplished.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: It was a picture of him and the old Ayatollah,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: father of, we think, Ayatollah who's alive.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: And it was almost.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Like a redo of Bush 43 when he was on
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the aircraft carrier claiming mission accomplished in Iraq.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: But it was on the.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Same day that Oman said that they had an agreement
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: with Iran that to share revenue for ships passing through
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the Straits of Hormuz like a toll. And I thought
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: just last week the president said to Oman, you dare
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: do that, we're going to bomb you.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Help me. Help me here, John.
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: I wish I could help you.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: I can help you.
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: It's inexplicable, you know, in terms of what the president
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: put out there. The mission has not been accomplished. If
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: the mission is the goal the president set out at
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: the very beginning of this conflict, which is denuclearizing Iran,
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: that mission has not been accomplished. If the mission is
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: making certain that Iran no longer funds its proxies in
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: the region, that mission has not been accomplished. So it's
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: a little premature to be writing that. In addition to
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: what you just said, Curtis, the Strait of Hormuz essentially
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: remains shut down. And it has been shut down since
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: the beginning of this conflict when it began in late February.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: I wanted you to explain to me something that happened
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: yesterday because I thought it was very emotional and I
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: thought it was extremely important, but I don't quite understand
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: what happened. The Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, hosted a
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: ceremony at the Pentagon to present upgraded Valor Awards to
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: three retired Marines who served during the 2021 Abbey gate
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: attack in Kabul, Afghanistan. There was a terrorist attack. Some
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: of the service members died. Why did this have to
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: happen this many years later? Why didn't they get this
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: award before?
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: Well, they could have gotten the award last year. I
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: think that what the administration wanted to do is to
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: remind the public that was paying attention to what you
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: just referenced of that chaotic withdrawal of Afghanistan. And one
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: way to do it is to honor the individuals that
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: you just mentioned, give them a V for valor for
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: the mission that they were involved with. That really was
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: a mission that was a pretty dangerous one, given the
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: fact that 13 service members died on that day when
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: that chaotic withdrawal from Kabul occurred. So I think that
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: is the reason for doing the event which occurred yesterday.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: But to your point, Larry, it could have happened last year.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: It was just simply that, you know, I think the
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: The Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense just thought,
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: what can we do to remind people of what happened
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: during the Biden years?
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: Is there any reason why it didn't happen under President Biden?
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Were they just trying to not call attention to what
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: happened that day?
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, absolutely.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: When you look at that day and you look at
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: what happened, that to me, you know, when you look
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: at President Joe Biden's approval rating, that marked the beginning
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: of the precipitous decline in in his approval ratings. He was,
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: when he took office, at mid-50s. And after the chaotic withdrawal,
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: that's when his approval rating steeply declined. And it's all
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: attributable to what happened in Kabul, Afghanistan, in his first
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: year in office.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: So, John Decker, we were told very publicly that our
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: CIA director, John Radcliffe, had flown to Moscow to have
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: one-on-one meetings, we think, with Vladimir Putin. Generally, your CIA
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: guy is pretty stealth. What was the message from that,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: if any, that we are to derive from that?
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: Well, according to the Wall Street Journal's reporting, the message was,
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: do not think about moving further into NATO territory in
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: terms of your territorial ambitions. Now, this is not the
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: first time that a CIA director has traveled, as you
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: put it, Curtis stealthily to Moscow to deliver a message
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: to Russia. It happened during President Joe Biden's time in office.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: It was in November of 2021. And William Burns traveled
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: to Moscow to deliver a message. Do not think about
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: invading Ukraine. And what happened several months later in February
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: of 2022? That's exactly what happened. So this message was
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: delivered by our CIA director under President Trump. And, you know,
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: we'll see whether that message was heard loud and clear
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: by the leadership of Russia, including Vladimir Putin.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, after Labor Day, John, I can't
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: imagine you're not going to be on the road a
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: lot during these midterms. I think President Trump has already
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: kind of signaled that he's going to be traveling around
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: the country. This is extremely important to his agenda and
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: maybe his future as president if they were to take
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: the House and the Senate. I would think they'd surely
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: try to impeach him. So have we got any insight
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: to how much he's going to be out there?
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: Oh, he's going to be out there. And, you know,
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: when you think about those competitive Senate races, the races
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: in which Democrats believe they can flip Senate seats, those
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: are the places that the president will travel to. So
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: one place is actually Texas, and that's where the president
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: will travel to today.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: He'll be in Houston.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: There's a Texas Senate race, and that is something that
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: Democrats believe they can flip and gain that seat. That
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: would be pretty remarkable in red Texas to flip a
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: seat to the Democratic side. The president will likely also
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: travel to places like Ohio and North Carolina, Iowa, maybe
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: even all the way out to Alaska to help out
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Dan Sullivan, who's in a very tough reelection fight to
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: win a third term in the U.S. Senate.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Now, John, all the candidates out there, because it seems
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: like they're neck and neck races all over the place.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: saying to the president and his staff, we want a
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: little Darlene Graham love. We need the love. We need
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the support. And most importantly, we need that PAC money.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: You gave her close to a million dollars in the
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: waning days of her primary victory.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: We need some of that love. Is the president ready
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: to give out that money?
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I think he's sitting on about $ 300 million that could
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: be utilized in the campaign. And what about Elon Musk,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: who promised $ 100 million to Republicans so they could pay
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: people to go door-to-door to get their vote out?
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: Well, it's actually $ 400 million that MAGA Inc. has in
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: its campaign coffers, and you're right, they opened up those
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: coffers to help out Darlene Graham, and it worked. She
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: was the winner in that runoff election just the other day.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: She'll be the Republican nominee for Senate in South Carolina.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: But as you point out, uh... that's a lot of
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: money at the time of money uh... and it certainly
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: can help republicans get out the vote that's what the
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: money was used for in darlene's darling graham's case uh...
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: and you know when you're talking about a very narrowly
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: divided congress uh... every little bit counts you often mention
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: elon musk uh... he has made that promise i'm short
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: helpful filled up uh... promise that he's made in terms
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: of spending money to get out the vote for republicans uh...
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: leading up to the midterms uh... so Look, I think
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: that Republicans realize what's at stake and the president realizes
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: what's at stake. As you point out, Larry, I do
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: believe that if Democrats retake control of the House, they
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: will pursue impeachment proceedings against the president. I don't know
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: what on what grounds. But that's something that I do
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: expect will happen.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Has the head of the DNC been fired yet? Because
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: the money they've raised is pitiful. I mean, they're talking
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: about $ 16 million. The RNC has almost 10 times that
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: at $ 130 million. I don't understand what the Democratic National
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Committee has been doing all this time, if not raising money.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, they have some catching up to do, to
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: say the least. But what Democrats believe they have on
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: their side, it may not be money, but they believe
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: they have the energy. And it's a midterm election. So
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: President Trump's name will not be at the top of
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: the ballot. And energy really matters in these midterms, you know,
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: which side can get out their side in greater numbers.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: And Democrats believe that they can do just that. You know,
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: they point to what happened in that primary in Alaska
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: just the other week in which Mary Totola finished as
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: the top vote getter. in that primary over a sitting
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: incumbent Republican Senator Dan Sullivan. So that's just one example.
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: And there may be others as well. Susan Collins is
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: another one who's facing a tough re-election race. And, you know,
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: I mentioned where the president will travel. Let's not forget Maine.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: The president most certainly will travel to Maine as well.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, very quickly, what's up with this fight with Canada?
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, couldn't have come at a worse time. We're
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: having an economic war with Iran. announced by the Treasury Secretary.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: What gives with this tariff war with Canada?
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't know.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: I mean, they are not only our neighbor to the north,
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: they are our second largest trading partner. And now we're
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: in the beginning stages of a, not just trade dispute,
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: but a trade war with Canada that's going to affect
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: both countries and potentially the economies of both countries. Now,
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: there's still time to call things off, to let cooler
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: heads prevail, to come to the negotiating table. But there
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: are no plans to do that just yet. That's what
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: our trade representative, Jameson Greer, said yesterday. He did an
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: interview with the CBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and he
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: has indicated that the U.S. and Canada remain far apart
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: as it relates to sticking points, trying to get a deal,
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: a trade deal, between both countries.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: John Decker, WOR White House and Washington correspondent and host
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: of the podcast, The White House Briefing Room with John Decker.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: That can be found on the iHeartRadio app, and it's
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: a must-listen. Thank you so much, John.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Thanks, Larry. Thanks, Curtis.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: Take care.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Talk to you soon. Bye-bye.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Well, we were just talking about the popularity of Donald
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: Trump and how he has to get on in the
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: Republican Party, I should say, in the Republican Party. Just
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: how popular is he? Wait till you hear this CNN poll.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: Even I was shocked at it. Plus, a chance to
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: see Chicago at age 25.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: The only CFO... Well, you.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: Just heard John Decker, a WOR White House correspondent, say
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: a moment ago that it is enthusiasm, either hatred, it's emotional,
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: either hatred or love or admiration or following that gets
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: people out during the midterms. And the popularity... of Donald
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Trump in the Republican party can't be discounted. That is
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: going to drive Republican votes more than anything else. Just
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: like the other side, the hatred of Donald Trump's going
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: to drive democratic votes. But here's an interesting question. Just
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: how popular is Donald Trump in the Republican party? Now
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: you've seen the polls that say he's got 90%, 92%, 89%
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: approval in the Republican party. But CNN, and this is
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: CNN conducting this poll, CNN had a really interesting one.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: Who is the greatest Republican president of all time?
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: The president Republicans most admire is Donald Trump. This is
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: a historic comparison. A majority of Republicans say, 53% say
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: he is the Republican president they most admire. Ronald Reagan,
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: who traditionally has won that much, Donald Trump nearly triples
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: up on this.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Reagan at just 18%.
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: And then Abraham Lincoln, who by most historic accounts is
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: the greatest president of all time, But Republicans say that
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: the president that they most admire by what is this?
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: This is six, seven times as many.
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: Donald John Trump at 53 percent.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: OK, now, I love Donald Trump. I really like him.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: I think he is a great president. But come on.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: It's a party of Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln. It's a party
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: of Lincoln.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: It's like you want to say Trump is second or
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: battle back and forth between Reagan. That's fine. But acknowledge
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the roots of the party was Abraham Lincoln in the
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: roughest time other than the American Revolution and George Washington.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: But they're not comparable.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: The country was going to split apart. He fought a
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: war to keep it together. And he had to navigate Congress.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: There is really no comparison. It does show you the
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: power of Donald Trump. And you can remember that going in.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: By the way.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: They would definitely be the three Republicans on Mount Rushmore
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: if there was a Republican great president, Mount Rushmore.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, you'd have to have Teddy Roosevelt. There you go.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: That's who I would say.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, you're speaking of the president in Texas.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Ted Cruz said yesterday, I want to be president.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Not in my lifetime, pal. Not in my lifetime. He's
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: run a couple times. You know what? Let's see. He's
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: going to run. Everybody said that about Trump, too. Let's
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: get to your talkbacks.
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: Good morning, guys.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: I was thinking Mary Tyler Moore, Louise Lasseter. Mary Tyler
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Moore is a good one.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: If you're talking about people that have the popularity of
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: someone like Dolly Parton, you know, and others.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Who was the one you mentioned?
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: Oh, Lucille Ball. Yeah, Lucille Ball. Yeah, Lucille Ball. Except
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: that when you talk about Lucille Ball and you talk
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: about Dolly Parton, They were able to build an empire.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: It wasn't just what they did on TV.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Although, on National Dog Day yesterday, best friend the dogs
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: ever had was Mary Tyler Moore.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: So she's got that going for her. A good one, though.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: You know, she was absolutely universally loved.
• 14:50
  Speaker 8: Hey, just a note of information for tonight. A celestial doubleheader, potentially,
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: with a lunar eclipse that will happen, along with the
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: potential of seeing the Northern Lights. So hopefully the weather
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: will cooperate.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: You know how many times I've been told I'm going
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: to see the Northern Lights in my area and I
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: get up and I look and you don't see them?
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: I'm not going for that again.
• 15:20
  Speaker 9: Larry, I saw them last year or the year before,
• 15:23
  Speaker 9: maybe both, for the first time.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I never believed I could see it up here in
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: northern New Jersey. It was incredible.
• 15:29
  Speaker 10: And it was just a tinge of what, you know,
• 15:32
  Speaker 10: you would see in a really good location.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, it doesn't matter for Nancy, my wife.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: She'll be howling to the blood moon that comes at
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: about 12 midnight tonight going into Friday.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: You going to be out there with her? Have to.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: I have to.
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: I mean.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: You going to howl?
• 15:46
  Speaker 11: No.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: I'm just going to watch her howl.
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 15:51
  Speaker 11: So guys, guys, real quick before you dismiss Miss Heaton,
• 15:55
  Speaker 11: just make note, two successful series, not one, two Emmy
• 16:02
  Speaker 11: Awards for Outstanding Actress, her own production company, and outstanding
• 16:07
  Speaker 11: charitable work.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: That's not just a name only. The head of the
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Patricia Heaton fan club. Man, I love the admiration you
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: have for her. That's from Everybody Loves Raymond, right? Yeah, yeah. No,
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Dolly Parton and Lucille Ball, to put her at that
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: same level?
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: No, I'm sorry. But she's up there in his opinion. Yeah,
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: I would say B, B team, but not the A team. Sorry.
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: Just hearing your question, what's going on with Canada? I
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: think President Trump has completely miscalculated just how much influence
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: China has in Canada. They are very heavily vested in
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: that country, and that gives Carney a lot of leverage
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: when it comes to negotiating.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because they have a wacky far-left leader. Of course,
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: he's been over there. I heard him pledging allegiance almost
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: to Canada when he was visiting over there. So, yeah,
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: that is absolutely in play. But let's not call a
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: game in the middle of it. Let's let this play
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: out and see what happens. But right now at 7.30,
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: we've got to get the news with Daria Albinger.
• 17:25
  Speaker 12: We'll see a high of 80 degrees and the city
• 17:27
  Speaker 12: is activating its storm emergency plan. If you live in
• 17:30
  Speaker 12: a flood-prone area, especially if you live in a basement apartment,
• 17:34
  Speaker 12: make sure you have a plan to evacuate if need be.
• 17:37
  Speaker 12: Nearly 25 years after the 9-11 attacks, we are finally
• 17:41
  Speaker 12: learning when the man, the feds say, Plan them.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: We'll go to trial.
• 17:45
  Speaker 10: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was captured in 2003 and has been
• 17:48
  Speaker 10: held in Guantanamo Bay for the past 20 years. Prosecutors
• 17:51
  Speaker 10: sought a trial to start in 2027, but the judge
• 17:54
  Speaker 10: thought it was too soon and said it would instead
• 17:57
  Speaker 10: begin June 5th, 2028. Mohammed and two other 9-11 defendants
• 18:01
  Speaker 10: reached a plea agreement with the Biden administration, but it
• 18:04
  Speaker 10: was revoked after being condemned by 9-11 families. The new
• 18:07
  Speaker 10: trial date comes just weeks before the 25th anniversary of
• 18:10
  Speaker 10: the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people that day.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Natalie Migliore, WOR News.
• 18:17
  Speaker 12: At least 160 people are dead after flash floods swept
• 18:20
  Speaker 12: the border of Nepal and Tibet, wiping out villages in
• 18:24
  Speaker 12: their wake. More than 1,000 are missing, including, we're told,
• 18:27
  Speaker 12: dozens of Americans. A $ 100, 000 reward is now being offered
• 18:31
  Speaker 12: for information, which leads to the arrest of a suspect
• 18:34
  Speaker 12: who's believed to be behind two deadly shootings in less
• 18:37
  Speaker 12: than a week. One is of a deli employee in
• 18:39
  Speaker 12: the Bronx, the other of an employee at a pizzeria
• 18:42
  Speaker 12: in Brooklyn. New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut are among
• 18:46
  Speaker 12: a group of 24 states, along with the District of Columbia,
• 18:50
  Speaker 12: that are suing to block President Trump's order on mail-in voting.
• 18:53
  Speaker 12: They say it's unconstitutional. And there was a shark sighting
• 18:56
  Speaker 12: off the coast of Florida that's getting a lot of attention.
• 18:58
  Speaker 13: A rare sight off Florida's Gulf Coast. A lemon shark
• 19:02
  Speaker 13: with a rare genetic mutation that results in a partial
• 19:04
  Speaker 13: loss of pigmentation. Lemon sharks typically have a solid yellowish
• 19:08
  Speaker 13: brown back. Researchers say that shark's condition has only been
• 19:12
  Speaker 13: documented about two dozen times in the wild.
• 19:15
  Speaker 12: That's ABC's Hannah Batai. Yankees beat Houston. Mets fell to Milwaukee.
• 19:19
  Speaker 12: Next news, 8 o'clock bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger
• 19:22
  Speaker 12: on 710WOR.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: So, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, also Republican candidate for governor,
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: says he's going to obey Kathy Hochul's new law about
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: police not cooperating with ICE. But, well, I'll fill in
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: the words after that but when we come back. In
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: the meantime, teachers make a difference each and every day.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: Now is your chance to say thank you. iHeartRadio's thank you.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: a Teacher, powered by Donor's Choice. Nominate an outstanding public
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: school teacher who goes above and beyond for students. They
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: could be one of our $ 5, 000 winners for classroom supplies
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: and resources. Teachers give so much. Now it's our turn
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: to give back. So go ahead and nominate a teacher
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: right now at iHeartRadio.com slash teachers. Well, this is going
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: to be really interesting because I think Nassau County Executive
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: Bruce Blakeman and Republican candidate for governor may now have
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: his issue. He's been coming up in the polls, but
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: he's still double digits behind. And as of right now,
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: you would have to expect that Kathy Hochul is going
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: to win easily. However, she has pushed forward and signed
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: legislation to prevent local law enforcement from working with ICE officers.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: And there's few exceptions to that, but they're few and
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: far between. And so she came out yesterday warning Bruce
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: Blakeman that he better get on board. It was the
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: only county in the state that hadn't signed up for this.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Everybody else said, yep, we're going to do it. We're
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: going to do it.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: So she was waiting for Blakeman with this threat.
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: I expect him, like everybody else in this state, to
• 21:13
  Speaker 9: follow the laws of New York. And there are consequences
• 21:17
  Speaker 9: if you do not. And again, someone like that will
• 21:21
  Speaker 9: intentionally misrepresent, which is a nice way of saying lie.
• 21:25
  Speaker 9: about what we're actually talking about, because we are not
• 21:31
  Speaker 9: disallowing cooperation with local law enforcement when it comes to crimes.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: If there's a crime in progress that they're not saying
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: you can't help at that point.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: I got it. I got it.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: So if you're going to a crime and if there's
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: an illegal involved, then yes, it's okay. But that doesn't
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: cover everything. And Bruce Blakeman announced that he tried, he
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: looked at everything, he tried to get out of this,
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: but no, he's gonna follow the law.
• 22:02
  Speaker 14: This is one of the saddest days of my life
• 22:06
  Speaker 14: as county executive, that because of this terrible and bad
• 22:11
  Speaker 14: law that we have to adhere to, I know it's
• 22:19
  Speaker 14: gonna make it more dangerous here in Nassau County.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: Yep. And if one thing were to happen with an
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: illegal in Nassau County, that could change the trajectory of
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: this race. I'll tell you the one thing Bruce Blakeman
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: always had going for him. The one thing was he
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: was the safest county, not only in New York, but
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: in America, according to U.S. News and World Report. And
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: much of that was because they worked with ICE. If
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: they arrested somebody and it was a criminal and they
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: were going to release him from jail, ICE just showed up,
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: no fuss, no mess.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: They were handed over. If there was a criminal.
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: That they were going after, Nassau County Police would help out.
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: And so now, if something were to happen before Election
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: Day with an illegal, well, that's going to be on
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: Kathy Hochul's hands.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: This law is written.
• 23:19
  Speaker 14: In the blood of the victims, past, present, and future.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: You see that? He's already playing it up.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Well, I would have used another analogy because she went
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: out on a limb and said he's the only county
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: holding out from this. Well, when she was the county
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: clerk in Erie County, the Democrat county clerk, she was
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: the only county that refused to issue driver's licenses to
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: illegal aliens when Eliot Spitzer, the governor, won it.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: She made a national reputation. Oh, my dead.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Body, will an illegal alien get a driver's license here?
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: How quickly she changed. You know, she did the pirouette.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: But this goes back, unfortunately, to Ed Koch. He was
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: the one who first said, no, we're a sanctuary city.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: We're not going to cooperate with the immigration and naturalization
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: service because we want the illegals to come into a
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: police precinct and report crimes against them.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Rudy upheld it. Pataki upheld it.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: So unless there are these issues that Bruce can elevate
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: from the headlines and make it very personal– If I
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: were Kathy Ockel, I'd use that argument against him, and
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: then he can use the argument against her that, yeah,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: but when you were the county clerk, you defied Eliot Spitzer.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: You said, I stand alone. I don't care because I'm
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: doing the right thing.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: And I think it eventually comes down to, in these
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: last two months, will there be issues in New York State?
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: that Bruce Blakeman can latch onto and say, you see,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: because of the lack of cooperation, this person did a
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: home invasion, this person walked into a grocery store, shot
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: it up, because then you personalize it.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: God forbid killed someone. God forbid killed law enforcement. God
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: forbid that were to happen. But if that were to happen,
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: that will completely change the trajectory of the race. Because
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: he can point at her and say, we were the
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: safest county in the country and look what you did.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: He's going to get some tactical air support on the Hill.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: The Republicans who are in charge are going to have
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: hearings on this. And they're going to drag DAs from
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: New York City. front of congressional hearings to explain why
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: they don't cooperate with ICE because it is splitting hairs
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: civilly and criminally as you pointed out you gotta you
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: gotta participate on the criminal charge but as civil charges
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: you came in illegally that's a civil charge they're basically
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: saying no one I'm gonna cooperate with you even if
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: there's a crowd even if there's a riot surrounding your
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: detention of this person who is here illegally. You're on
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: your own ice. And that's what leads to a lot
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: of the problems that we then see on video. They
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: get amplified. And it's a bad look, which you know
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: law enforcement should be there backing up the feds to
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: make sure nobody gets hurt. Not just the ICE agents,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: the people that they've just detained, the crowd, everyone else
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: who was involved in that situation.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the proof is going to be in the pudding.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: And hopefully nothing happens. But that hearing... down in Washington,
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: Bruce Blakeman should be there. They should have him come
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: down and testify.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: They probably will. I hope they do.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: They will elevate him because he could use that boost
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: as we will be in the final two months, which
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: will be a sprint. But up next, oh, Natalie Migliari
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: wants to talk about the lowly last place New York Mets,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: but not about their failed baseball venture.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: But about date night at.

• 26:52

• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Mets and Citi Fields?
• 27:45
  Speaker 10: It's taking a different turn, gentlemen, because we're not talking
• 27:49
  Speaker 10: necessarily about the Mets. We're talking about what's going on
• 27:53
  Speaker 10: at Citi Field tonight, which is Singles Night Out.
• 27:57
  Speaker 15: Okay?
• 27:57
  Speaker 10: And you guys know that I've been excited to cover
• 28:00
  Speaker 10: this story because the Amazons are teaming up with Hot
• 28:03
  Speaker 10: and Social for pregame mixers to get conversations started between
• 28:09
  Speaker 10: people who may be looking.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: For a relationship or.
• 28:12
  Speaker 10: something else these days because that's how it goes it's
• 28:16
  Speaker 10: the first time a lot of the time when i
• 28:18
  Speaker 10: approach people it's the first time people on the street
• 28:21
  Speaker 10: are hearing about this event.
• 28:23
  Speaker 15: That's cool at a game get to talk talk about
• 28:26
  Speaker 15: the game i'd be like i would do it if
• 28:27
  Speaker 15: i was single i'm not single yeah.
• 28:29
  Speaker 16: That's very innovative and um maybe people could find their
• 28:34
  Speaker 16: significant other there i.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Guess that's a good thing i don't know singles.
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: Night Oh, wow.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: I love that. It must be a lot of single
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: people out here in New York City. Singles night?
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: Oh, I had no idea.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: I'd have to ask my husband if I can go.
• 28:50
  Speaker 10: Look, most people agree that social media changed the dating game.
• 28:55
  Speaker 10: That's kind of where our conversations were going after this.
• 28:58
  Speaker 10: Once I asked about singles nights in the Mets. If
• 29:02
  Speaker 10: there's even a game anymore, right? This idea that guys
• 29:07
  Speaker 10: have game, girls telling me they don't have game anymore
• 29:11
  Speaker 10: because instead of approaching them when they see them on
• 29:16
  Speaker 10: the street, they're jumping into their Instagram DMs or they're
• 29:20
  Speaker 10: trying to find them on dating apps. Now, according to
• 29:24
  Speaker 10: a dating.com survey, 47% of people, that's nearly half, say
• 29:29
  Speaker 10: their relationship started With a direct message of some sort
• 29:34
  Speaker 10: on some social media platform.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: What?
• 29:36
  Speaker 8: 47%.
• 29:37
  Speaker 11: Wow.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: That's a lot. It's sad.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: I know people who've done it. Now, New Yorkers know
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: this struggle all too well.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: I don't know how young people meet each other anymore.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: And you know what?
• 29:51
  Speaker 16: These dating apps, from what I hear, are filled with
• 29:54
  Speaker 16: guys and gals too, but guys who ghost a lot.
• 29:58
  Speaker 16: Pretend to be somebody that they're not. And I have
• 30:02
  Speaker 16: to tell you, if my daughter was single right now,
• 30:04
  Speaker 16: I think I'd be having a nervous breakdown.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: I think everyone's on their phone too much.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: Everyone's on all.
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: The social media too much.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: And, you know, you have to talk to people in person.
• 30:13
  Speaker 15: Because a lot of people just meet through social media
• 30:15
  Speaker 15: and it can fool a lot of people. Like, you
• 30:16
  Speaker 15: get catfished a lot. People think they're dating Brad Pitt
• 30:19
  Speaker 15: or Holly Berry and not dating her.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, it's changed a lot.
• 30:22
  Speaker 15: From what I see, dating seems pretty awful in New
• 30:24
  Speaker 15: York City.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: I don't think I'd want to be single right now.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Can I ask a question?
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at the quiet storm here, Chris, who's one
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: of these Gen Zers.
• 30:35
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: I could see him catfishing.
• 30:42
  Speaker 10: I don't think you know what the term catfish is.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: He does not need to catfish anyone.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: That's twice now this week, Curtis.
• 30:49
  Speaker 10: He does not need to catfish anyone. Chris is like
• 30:52
  Speaker 10: the nicest guy ever.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: I think what happened just there is he just learned
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: a new term and used it incorrectly.
• 31:01
  Speaker 10: I think he doesn't like me because last week he
• 31:04
  Speaker 10: said I had no drift.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: On Friday he said I had no drift.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. What is going on?
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Well, anything to get him out of his shell. Notice,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: that got him to talk up, didn't it?
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: I'm a little defensive. Yeah, I watch MTV.
• 31:18
  Speaker 10: There's no need for Chris to be a catfish.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: So, I do want to call him.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: But let me ask you a question. Why the Mets?
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: The Mets, they're losers, right?
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: So are these loser men and loser women or teenagers?
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: Look, it makes all the sense in the world because
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: they're not going to watch the game.
• 31:40
  Speaker 10: Well, look, okay, and maybe there's no need to watch
• 31:42
  Speaker 10: the game when you're a losing team, but it seems
• 31:45
  Speaker 10: like the summer of matchmaking here in New York City, though,
• 31:47
  Speaker 10: because it's not just the Mets, right? There's a photo
• 31:50
  Speaker 10: booth in Lower Manhattan. that lets people take photos of themselves,
• 31:54
  Speaker 10: then gives you a photo of someone else and their
• 31:57
  Speaker 10: first name of the person you're compatible with, and you
• 32:00
  Speaker 10: gotta go find them, okay?
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: That's one thing.
• 32:02
  Speaker 10: There's also another singles mixer coming up at the end
• 32:06
  Speaker 10: of September, where like 400 people are gonna be at
• 32:09
  Speaker 10: this in-person mixer, but you can fall back on those
• 32:13
  Speaker 10: if you don't hit a home run at Citi Field tonight, okay?
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: And great question, Curtis.
• 32:18
  Speaker 10: I ask people if they felt The Mets are getting
• 32:21
  Speaker 10: into matchmaking is a little, you know, gimmicky.
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: Probably.
• 32:25
  Speaker 8: Probably.
• 32:26
  Speaker 15: I mean, it's good.
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: They get some money.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: Some people eat some people. Get a little drunk. Watch
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: a game.
• 32:31
  Speaker 12: It is a gimmick.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: It shouldn't be that way. I mean, you can meet
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: anybody out here. They got a losing record.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Hold on.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Let me check.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: He had a check.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: They got a losing record.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: That's the reason why. To attract fans and attract money.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's the way I see it.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Maybe both. Yeah, it's a good time. It's a reason
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: to come out.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: Another reason to get different people out to the game.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, people who don't care and want to meet singles.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because the Mets stink.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: That's the reason they're trying to do anything they can
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: to get people to go.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: To the games.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Chris, as a Mets fan, any rebuttal? Because, you know,
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: they had that purple guy.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: Grimace?
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: That was a gimmicky thing.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: That ain't doing it. But they won when they had Grimace.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: They made it to the NLCS.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, until they died. didn't win anymore.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but they had a great year.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: I will credit the Mets for honoring traditional marriage.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: They have Mr. Met, their mascot, and Mrs.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: Met.
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: Yes!
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: Listen, I just want... I got something going for me.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: I want Mr.
• 33:31
  Speaker 16: And.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to be able to go to the
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: game tonight. I want Mr. and Mrs.
• 33:35
  Speaker 10: Met or anybody in the crowd to let us know
• 33:37
  Speaker 10: if they see people who are single.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 33:40
  Speaker 10: And if they're on their phones scrolling through the dating
• 33:44
  Speaker 10: apps rather than turning to.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: The person next to them to meet. How do I
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: know who's single if I go? Oh, there's a wristband system.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Thank you for asking.
• 33:54
  Speaker 15: Okay.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: It'll disclose relationship status. Look at the wrist, ladies and gents.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: That's what I was going to say.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: That's a great question.
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: That's how you'll know.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: And nobody will be there catfishing?
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you can't, right? You're looking at the
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: person's face.
• 34:10
  Speaker 14: Fair game.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: It's all fair game.
