Hour 2: BiBi and Trump's meeting · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: Well, Donald Trump still says that there are talks going
0:04
Speaker 1: on and that Iran really wants to make a deal.
0:07
Speaker 2: They want to meet, and we're meeting. We'll see what happens.
0:10
Speaker 2: Is a chance we could make a deal. Without what
0:13
Speaker 2: we did, they wouldn't even be talking to us. Iran says,
0:16
Speaker 2: none of that's true.
0:17
Speaker 1: So let's get to John Decker, wo or White House
0:19
Speaker 1: and Washington Correspondent, host of the podcast The White House
0:22
Speaker 1: Briefing Room with John Decker that can be found on
0:25
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. John, we just played a sound of
0:29
Speaker 1: the President saying, you know, we're meeting with them. They
0:32
Speaker 1: want to meet more, they want to make a deal.
0:35
Speaker 1: And Iran's saying none of that is true. So what
0:39
Speaker 1: is the truth do we know?
0:41
Speaker 3: Well, what we know definitively is true is that there
0:44
Speaker 3: are mediators from Iran and Oman that have been meeting
0:48
Speaker 3: since the weekend. They also met yesterday. So I think
0:52
Speaker 3: that technically it's true that there are no mediators or
0:57
Speaker 3: negotiators from the US meeting direct with Iran at this point.
1:02
Speaker 3: But this is paving the way. The talks between Oman
1:05
Speaker 3: and Iran are paving the way for getting one major
1:09
Speaker 3: issue out of the way, and that is reopening the
1:12
Speaker 3: Strait of Formoz. It sounds like a broken record. We've
1:15
Speaker 3: been talking about this for months now, but because the
1:19
Speaker 3: Strait of Rmuz remains essentially shut down, that's the reason
1:23
Speaker 3: why we've had these high oil and gas prices over
1:27
Speaker 3: the course of the last few months.
1:29
Speaker 2: Now, I notice a change in the Saudis. After there
1:34
Speaker 2: was an agreement to develop the nuclear fuel. The President
1:37
Speaker 2: signed off on it, but said you have to join
1:39
Speaker 2: the Abraham Accords. They started squabbling with the Hooties and
1:44
Speaker 2: the Red Sea. But this was unexpected. They were complaining
1:48
Speaker 2: yesterday that Shea militias in Iraq were actually sending drones
1:55
Speaker 2: at their refineries in Saudi Arabia, which would mean bansion
2:00
Speaker 2: of this war. Has the White House commented on that.
2:05
Speaker 3: I have not seen any comment directly from the President
2:08
Speaker 3: or anybody that speaks on the President in regards to that, Curtis,
2:12
Speaker 3: But this potentially widens this conflict beyond where it started.
2:17
Speaker 3: Obviously it started, you know, involving Iran. It's now spread
2:24
Speaker 3: to the extent that you see the Hutis, which were
2:27
Speaker 3: a proxy of Iran, threatening the Red Sea. That seems
2:32
Speaker 3: to be put to rest. But then you see what
2:35
Speaker 3: you just described is happening yesterday that potentially could expand
2:40
Speaker 3: this conflict beyond where it started.
2:43
Speaker 1: So the President keeps pushing for the Save Act, and
2:46
Speaker 1: I know we've talked about this several times you were saying,
2:49
Speaker 1: and you're right, the votes just aren't there. Senator Rick
2:53
Speaker 1: Scott had a good idea yesterday and it's now starting
2:57
Speaker 1: to get a little bit of traction, and he said,
3:00
Speaker 1: how don't we take all the birth stertific, get out
3:01
Speaker 1: everything else out and just say you have to show
3:04
Speaker 1: a driver's license or ID when you vote, because he
3:07
Speaker 1: thinks that could pass.
3:09
Speaker 2: Do you believe that would pass?
3:12
Speaker 1: I do not know.
3:13
Speaker 3: You know, it really is up to three senators in
3:15
Speaker 3: particular that have been from the start solid nose. Of
3:21
Speaker 3: those include Mitch McConnell, who is not back in the
3:24
Speaker 3: Senate because he's recovering from, you know, obviously some illness issues.
3:30
Speaker 3: Then you also have Lisa Murkowski, Republican from Alaska, and
3:34
Speaker 3: also Tom Tillis, Republican from North Carolina. Tom Tillis is
3:38
Speaker 3: leaving the Senate. He's a difficult person to turn around
3:41
Speaker 3: in terms.
3:42
Speaker 2: Of his vote.
3:43
Speaker 3: Lisa Murkowski does not want to, you know, change her position.
3:47
Speaker 3: She feels pretty solid where she is. And of course
3:50
Speaker 3: Mitch McConnell first needs to get back to the Senate
3:53
Speaker 3: where you can even talk about him even changing his vote.
3:56
Speaker 3: So allarry to answer your question, it's up to just
3:59
Speaker 3: a hand full of Republican senators as to whether that
4:02
Speaker 3: proposal put forward by Senator Rick Scott is one that
4:07
Speaker 3: you know, convinces them. That's a piece of legislation they
4:10
Speaker 3: could support.
4:11
Speaker 1: Most states already have showing a voter ID, and this
4:15
Speaker 1: takes away their key arguments about how it disenfranchises. The
4:19
Speaker 1: new one is it disenfranchises women, and it disenfranchises people
4:23
Speaker 1: that have to go find a birth certificate. So I'm
4:26
Speaker 1: not even sure what the argument would be for not
4:28
Speaker 1: voting for it.
4:31
Speaker 2: I don't know.
4:31
Speaker 3: Again, you know, you'd have to ask those individuals. I
4:34
Speaker 3: think that you know, for Lisa Murkowski, she's always expressed
4:38
Speaker 3: her belief in her state, Alaska, which is, you know,
4:41
Speaker 3: but by just sheer size, the largest state in our country.
4:46
Speaker 3: It's difficult for her constituents sometimes to get out and
4:50
Speaker 3: vote on election day, and that's the reason why mail
4:53
Speaker 3: in voting is so prevalent in Alaska. But you know
4:56
Speaker 3: as to the reasons why Mitch McConnell has been, To
5:00
Speaker 3: know why Tom Tillis has been. To know, you'd have to,
5:03
Speaker 3: you know, ask them as to whether or not this
5:05
Speaker 3: new proposal or suggestion of a proposal by Rick Scott
5:10
Speaker 3: is one that could pass muster. And even if it
5:12
Speaker 3: is something that does form as it relates to legislation,
5:17
Speaker 3: you would have to start from scratch to get this
5:20
Speaker 3: legislation passed in both the House and the Senate and
5:23
Speaker 3: do it before the midterm elections on November the third.
5:27
Speaker 2: Oh, John, how times have changed. When Trump reassumed office,
5:32
Speaker 2: one of his first meetings was with Czelenski, and you
5:36
Speaker 2: remember how he was told get the hell out of here.
5:38
Speaker 2: Trump Vice President Vance will be over threw them out.
5:43
Speaker 2: You had to beg to be able to come back
5:45
Speaker 2: the next day and have any kind of conversation. Now
5:48
Speaker 2: he's the drone man. He's so far ahead in drone technology,
5:54
Speaker 2: and apparently he's now acknowledged yes, it was our drone
5:58
Speaker 2: that hit that cargo care containership from Russia and the
6:02
Speaker 2: Caspian Sea that was bringing supplies to Iran. He's being
6:06
Speaker 2: treated so much differently. Now, why the change of attitude
6:11
Speaker 2: by the President.
6:13
Speaker 3: I think a change of attitude is a lot to
6:16
Speaker 3: do with where the war is right now. You know
6:18
Speaker 3: who has the upper hand, who is seen as the
6:23
Speaker 3: country that you know has the winning edge, and right
6:27
Speaker 3: now it's Ukraine. And the President likes winners. He sees
6:31
Speaker 3: in Ukraine a winning country. He sees what they've been
6:35
Speaker 3: able to do with their drone strategy, as you just
6:37
Speaker 3: reference Curtis, it's been very effective, so effective that the
6:41
Speaker 3: US has said we would like to have access to
6:45
Speaker 3: your drone technology. We want to use your drone technology
6:49
Speaker 3: as it relates to our war efforts, maybe even in Iran.
6:52
Speaker 3: So I think that has a lot to do with it.
6:54
Speaker 3: They get along well. They last met at the NATO
6:57
Speaker 3: summit just a few weeks ago in ankor A, Turkey,
7:00
Speaker 3: and they will meet once again today in the Oval Office.
7:03
Speaker 3: That will be at nine point thirty this morning. And
7:05
Speaker 3: the reason why Zelenski's in town and the reason why
7:09
Speaker 3: Netsing Yahoo, Prime Minister Netan Yahoo is in town they're
7:12
Speaker 3: both attending the funeral this afternoon of Lindsey Graham that
7:16
Speaker 3: will take place at the National Cathedral here in Washington.
7:19
Speaker 1: You know, I know Sean Duffy wants to rename. He
7:23
Speaker 1: hasn't come out and said this long time ago he did.
7:25
Speaker 1: But in this newest thing where he's actually going to
7:27
Speaker 1: put together a proposal, he hasn't come out and said
7:31
Speaker 1: he wants to call it the Trump's train station or
7:34
Speaker 1: the Donald J. Trump Train Station. But that's what's coming.
7:37
Speaker 1: And Chuck Schumer, I guess yesterday, came out and said,
7:40
Speaker 1: no matter what happens, we're going to stop this.
7:44
Speaker 2: Is he able to stop this? Does this have to
7:47
Speaker 2: go through the Senate at all? I don't know.
7:50
Speaker 3: That's that's pretty unclear, you know. I mean, you have
7:55
Speaker 3: across the street from penn Station, you have the moynihan
7:58
Speaker 3: train station that was on through an act of Congress.
8:02
Speaker 3: I don't know if you'd have to, you know, have
8:04
Speaker 3: an active Congress in terms of changing the name of
8:08
Speaker 3: Pennsylvania Station to Donald J. Trump's Station. But I think
8:12
Speaker 3: you're right. It seems like that is something that will
8:15
Speaker 3: happen before the end of President Trump's term. That's something
8:19
Speaker 3: that the president and his allies are very key on.
8:22
Speaker 3: And you know, if you are a fan of Amtrak,
8:25
Speaker 3: and if you're someone who uses penn station. That may
8:28
Speaker 3: be a good thing because then you could be rest
8:30
Speaker 3: assured that it would be funded fully, you know, at
8:33
Speaker 3: least while Donald Trump is President of the United States.
8:36
Speaker 2: Great point, John, You mentioned the other visitor bb Netanyahoo
8:41
Speaker 2: not not as friendly as Trump has been to Zelensky
8:46
Speaker 2: of late. He seems to have lost support in America.
8:49
Speaker 2: And in all the Israeli publications that I heard before
8:53
Speaker 2: his meeting with the President, he's going to urge the
8:55
Speaker 2: president to resume the military campaign. He says, all months
9:00
Speaker 2: of diplomacy has gotten us nowhere, and this start stop
9:04
Speaker 2: makes us look fickle and weak if in fact he
9:08
Speaker 2: sticks to that presentation. How do you think it's going
9:12
Speaker 2: to float with the President of the United States Donald Trump.
9:16
Speaker 3: Well, just based upon what the President has said, you know,
9:19
Speaker 3: over the course of the last few days. And I
9:21
Speaker 3: realized President Trump often you know, on this particular issue,
9:24
Speaker 3: changes his mind. Right now, He's intent and seeing if
9:27
Speaker 3: diplomacy can work, and if diplomacy works, then that's the
9:32
Speaker 3: route that the President's going to take. He's not going
9:35
Speaker 3: to you know, re engage in terms of the conflict
9:39
Speaker 3: with Iran. But you know, I mean the President can
9:42
Speaker 3: change his mind, and I don't think that the president
9:45
Speaker 3: just because the President is meeting. Believe the meeting with
9:47
Speaker 3: Netting Yaho is at eleven thirty this morning in the
9:50
Speaker 3: Oval Office. And by the way, both the Neting Yahoo
9:53
Speaker 3: meeting and the Zelenski meeting right now are listed as
9:56
Speaker 3: close press, and I think the nets and Yahoo meeting
9:58
Speaker 3: in particular will remin close press. Those meetings are are
10:03
Speaker 3: very key, you know, as it relates to the President's
10:06
Speaker 3: of foreign policy and what we can expect, as it
10:09
Speaker 3: relates to US military operations, as it relates to the
10:14
Speaker 3: war in Ukraine as well as the war in Iran
10:17
Speaker 3: over the course of the next few weeks.
10:19
Speaker 1: And both meetings are extremely important. It's disappointing their closed press.
10:23
Speaker 1: Will there be any availability from any of the three
10:26
Speaker 1: people involved afterwards?
10:29
Speaker 3: No, I think that Netting Yahoo every time in recent
10:33
Speaker 3: I would say in recent years, even that Netting Yaho
10:36
Speaker 3: has come to the White House wall President Trump has
10:38
Speaker 3: been president, there have been no opportunities to ask Prime
10:43
Speaker 3: Minister Netanyah who any questions. The same cannot be said
10:47
Speaker 3: for Zelenski. Zelensky has no problem answering questions from the
10:51
Speaker 3: press Corps. But I think that if indeed that meeting
10:53
Speaker 3: with Zelensky remains closed, Zelensky's not going to come out
10:57
Speaker 3: to what we call the stakeout area right outside the
11:00
Speaker 3: West Wing to take questions. He's going to respect, you know,
11:03
Speaker 3: the President and just focus on another meeting that he's having,
11:08
Speaker 3: and that's this evening around six o'clock with all one
11:11
Speaker 3: hundred US senators. Zelenski is going to be making the
11:14
Speaker 3: push once again to pass that tough Russia sanctions BILM
11:18
Speaker 3: that has really gained a lot of scheme and a
11:21
Speaker 3: lot of momentum since the death of Lindsey Graham.
11:24
Speaker 1: John Decker, as always, thank you, wr White House and
11:27
Speaker 1: Washington correspondent and hosts of the podcast The White House
11:30
Speaker 1: Briefing Room, which you can find on the iHeart Radio app.
11:33
Speaker 1: Oh excuse me, The White House Briefing Room with John Decker.
11:37
Speaker 1: Let me get to make sure I say it correctly.
11:40
Speaker 3: Thanks a lot, John, Thanks Larry, Thanks Curtis, Bye bye.
11:44
Speaker 1: So another big name is bringing his show to Broadway.
11:50
Speaker 1: First Dolly Parton, before that, Michael Jackson. Now another equally
11:56
Speaker 1: huge name. We'll tell you who it is when we
11:58
Speaker 1: come back. Plus a chance to see Deep Purple and
12:01
Speaker 1: Kansas at A twenty five. We've talked about this a
12:05
Speaker 1: lot on the show How Fast any an everyday situation
12:09
Speaker 1: like eating dinner or having snacks, an ordinary moment can
12:14
Speaker 1: turn into an emergency. I've seen it a million times
12:17
Speaker 1: covering the news, and choking is obviously one of those moments.
12:21
Speaker 1: We've probably all seen it and been scared and luckily
12:24
Speaker 1: it turned out. Okay, it doesn't always, and it can
12:28
Speaker 1: happen to anybody, a child, a parent, a grandparent. When
12:32
Speaker 1: it does, of course, seconds matter. That's why I want
12:36
Speaker 1: to tell you about Lifeback. Life BAC is the first
12:39
Speaker 1: and only FDA authorized suction anti choking device to be
12:43
Speaker 1: used for second line treatment when the recommended choking protocols
12:48
Speaker 1: like the Heimlich are just hitting something in the back,
12:51
Speaker 1: they don't work. And here's what's remarkable. Life Back has
12:56
Speaker 1: helped save over six thousand lives worldwide. That's real people.
13:02
Speaker 1: We're talking about, real families that are saved, real second family,
13:06
Speaker 1: real second chances.
13:08
Speaker 2: Preparedness matters. Having the right tool nearby can make all
13:12
Speaker 2: the difference in the world. So learn more about Life

13:24
Speaker 2: ready when it counts? Are you ready for it?
13:27
Speaker 1: Lots of big stars recently have come to Broadway or
13:32
Speaker 1: have been remembered on Broadway, like Michael Jackson, Dolly Parton's Coming,
13:37
Speaker 1: and now Purple Rain, the stage musical based on Prince's
13:42
Speaker 1: iconic nineteen eighty four film and album, will make its
13:47
Speaker 1: Broadway debut at the Majestic Theater. Previews begin March twelfth,
13:53
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven, and then it's officially going to open
13:57
Speaker 1: in April. It's produced by Orrin Wall. The musical features
14:01
Speaker 1: Prince's legendary songs including When Doves Cry, I Would Die
14:06
Speaker 1: for You, Take Me with You, and the Beautiful Ones.
14:10
Speaker 2: Now we don't know who's gonna play Prince.
14:13
Speaker 1: Casting has not yet been announced, and tickets are going
14:17
Speaker 1: to be on sale soon, but we don't even know
14:19
Speaker 1: the data that just yet.
14:20
Speaker 4: I know, you know what Broadway loves to have a
14:23
Speaker 4: show about a musician. I mean, you know you were
14:25
Speaker 4: just mentioning Michael Jackson, and now we have Dolly Parton.
14:28
Speaker 4: They had Carol King the musical Beautiful.
14:31
Speaker 2: I Saw Beautiful beautiful was wonderful. I love Carol. Nothing
14:35
Speaker 2: was bigger than Jersey Boys. Oh yeah, Jersey is here.
14:38
Speaker 4: I'm feeling good about it. There's been so many great
14:40
Speaker 4: things on Broadway lately. I was just telling you I
14:42
Speaker 4: saw Titanique.
14:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, last week.
14:45
Speaker 4: It was so good, and I'm hoping to get to
14:49
Speaker 4: another show next week.
14:50
Speaker 2: I'm just, you know, trying to get it all in.
14:51
Speaker 2: There's a lot of good stuff out there.
14:53
Speaker 1: There is, and now, I mean, this will be a
14:55
Speaker 1: huge hit. It's gonna be an onenormous and there's so
14:57
Speaker 1: many Prince fans in the world.
14:59
Speaker 2: Do you hear all the songs that are going to
15:00
Speaker 2: be played it? Well, you dissed me, both you and
15:03
Speaker 2: Natalie dissed me. You played Purple Rain. Yeah, play the
15:08
Speaker 2: song that was dedicated to me in Minneapolis by the
15:13
Speaker 2: Purple People Eaters, you know, combination of the Minnesota Vikings
15:19
Speaker 2: and obviously Purple Rain. Prince he had the club downtown.
15:23
Speaker 2: Now I have a suggestion, even though I'm not contributing
15:26
Speaker 2: any money to the millions of dollars that it's going
15:29
Speaker 2: to cost to put this musical on, no doubt about it.
15:33
Speaker 2: All these shows, whether it's Dolly parton Michael Jackson. You
15:36
Speaker 2: got to millions and millions of dollars up front, you
15:39
Speaker 2: want to pack them in. Have Dave Chappelle play Prince
15:43
Speaker 2: and then also a cameo appearance by Rick James. I mean,
15:48
Speaker 2: those are some of the classic comedic scenes. Rick James
15:54
Speaker 2: versus Prince playing basketball. And you know how was in Minneapolis.
15:57
Speaker 2: I went to a high school to give a lecture.
16:00
Speaker 2: Prince went to the high school. He's not a tall guy.
16:03
Speaker 2: He was able to dunk on the high school basketball. Yeah,
16:09
Speaker 2: I never heard.
16:10
Speaker 4: Well, you know, Curtis, there's still time. It's not opening
16:13
Speaker 4: till April. They can make some change.
16:15
Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to take the Dave Chappelle
16:17
Speaker 1: note to tell you the truth, But do you imagine
16:19
Speaker 1: that play should be packed well for the first week.
16:24
Speaker 2: Let's get some talkbacks, Larry, could you please explain how
16:29
Speaker 2: the Fifth Amendment no longer applies to doctor Franken Fauci.
16:37
Speaker 2: I like that. That's like Frankenberry's remember that, right, Frankin Fauci.
16:43
Speaker 2: I may steal that. I mean, no, no, Frankin Fauci.
16:47
Speaker 2: That's a good one. Yeah, that was that is a riot.
16:51
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what you're you're talking about, because the
16:54
Speaker 1: Fifth Amendment protects people from self incrimination, right, and so
16:58
Speaker 1: what you're saying is he doesn't have to testify, but
17:03
Speaker 1: he does have to testify. He can get up there
17:05
Speaker 1: and say he's taking the Fifth of Milicia. Yeah, but
17:08
Speaker 1: he still has to appear. Yeah, so it does apply
17:11
Speaker 1: to him. No matter what. It does apply to him.
17:13
Speaker 1: He gets its protection if he chooses.
17:15
Speaker 2: To take it. But let me tell you something, it
17:18
Speaker 2: would look really really well. That would just add another
17:21
Speaker 2: layer to this intrigue. Oh absolutely, I don't think he will.
17:25
Speaker 5: You guys, that's what's wrong with America. You see that
17:29
Speaker 5: CEO for Cracker Barrel. It took this long to remove
17:34
Speaker 5: her from the position. You got to take care of
17:37
Speaker 5: things right away when it's ruining your company. That's what
17:40
Speaker 5: Trump is all about. He fixes things now. He doesn't
17:44
Speaker 5: wait years from now to remove a person from a position.
17:50
Speaker 2: Well, he had a chance to remove Fauci, decided he
17:53
Speaker 2: was too popular at that time. He was, there was
17:56
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, and there was Fauci in the minds of
17:58
Speaker 2: a lot of people. She gotta be careful. He also
18:02
Speaker 2: had called me James Coley Remember he could have got
18:04
Speaker 2: rid of him at the start of his first four years,
18:06
Speaker 2: he chose not to. Hey, look, you can't remove everybody
18:10
Speaker 2: because you better have somebody to replace him with. But
18:13
Speaker 2: crack a barrow, boom, crack down on that CEO.
18:17
Speaker 1: You know how we just talked about products, and we
18:18
Speaker 1: talked about how the worst failure ever was probably New Coke. Well,
18:22
Speaker 1: this is a new Trump. Yes, he learned from the
18:24
Speaker 1: first term. He was surrounded himself with snakes. In the
18:28
Speaker 1: first term, he made a huge mistake. Now he's decided everybody,
18:32
Speaker 1: I'm gonna know, I'm gonna be on a first hand
18:34
Speaker 1: basis with everybody.
18:35
Speaker 2: And remember he doesn't get rid of him like Christine Noman,
18:38
Speaker 2: you know, the dog killer who did a horrible job.
18:42
Speaker 2: He just transferred her to another position in the administration
18:45
Speaker 2: and we've never heard from her again. How she doing
18:47
Speaker 2: in that whatever? That job was Central America, South America
18:50
Speaker 2: and no visioning with all the leaders there. But he
18:52
Speaker 2: didn't get rid of her. Yeah, as many people wanted,

Speaker 1: growing by the second to keep Zori Mamdanni, the mayor,
20:21
Speaker 1: away from the anniversary of nine to eleven, the twenty
20:25
Speaker 1: fifth anniversary.
20:26
Speaker 2: It's a big one.
20:28
Speaker 1: We'll tell you what he had to say about it
20:30
Speaker 1: when we come back. Well, joy is essential and elusive.
20:34
Speaker 1: You can't order it or borrow it. But now there's
20:37
Speaker 1: a new way to start your journey towards a more
20:40
Speaker 1: joyful existence, The Joy one oh one podcast with Hotocopy.
20:46
Speaker 1: Look for it on the free iHeartRadio app come about
20:50
Speaker 1: many of the families, almost four hundred of the families
20:55
Speaker 1: have asked Zori Mamdanni please do not go to the
20:58
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty anniversary of nine to eleven. They
21:02
Speaker 1: don't like some of the things he said in the past,
21:06
Speaker 1: and because of that they are asking him, requesting him
21:09
Speaker 1: please in honor of the people in our family that
21:13
Speaker 1: died on that day, don't show up. And now there's
21:17
Speaker 1: a petition online by one of those people, Giovanno Gilante,
21:22
Speaker 1: who lost his wife on that day. He is saying,
21:25
Speaker 1: please don't show up. The petition, by the way, right
21:28
Speaker 1: now I'm looking at it has over twenty two thousand
21:32
Speaker 1: signatures and we're gonna post it. You can find it
21:35
Speaker 1: on change dot org and you can sign it if
21:38
Speaker 1: you wish. Now, most people, when they hear that and
21:42
Speaker 1: they realize that they've said some insensitive things in the past,
21:47
Speaker 1: would say, would politely bow out. Not zooin Mom, Donnie.
21:53
Speaker 1: He doesn't think he did anything wrong, and he's going.
21:55
Speaker 7: I will proudly honor the families, the survivors, the first
22:00
Speaker 7: responders forever impacted by that horrific terror attack by standing
22:05
Speaker 7: alongside them at this year's nine to eleven commemoration, reaffirming
22:09
Speaker 7: that we will never forget the solemn day felt by
22:12
Speaker 7: all of us who call this city home and frankly
22:14
Speaker 7: by all of us who call this country home.
22:17
Speaker 1: Well, you didn't say that when you praised one of
22:20
Speaker 1: the imans who was sympathetic to the attack. You didn't
22:24
Speaker 1: say that when you said you wanted to globalize the Infantada.
22:27
Speaker 1: I don't know why he thinks he has the right
22:31
Speaker 1: to go at this point, other than he's the mayor
22:33
Speaker 1: of New York. I get that he thinks he should
22:36
Speaker 1: be there. But if you're going to go to an
22:38
Speaker 1: event and the people that are most affected don't want
22:43
Speaker 1: you to be there, could you just once honor their wishes.
22:47
Speaker 1: By the way, I mentioned Giovanni Jilante a moment ago,
22:51
Speaker 1: the guy who lost his wife on nine to eleven,
22:54
Speaker 1: who put up this petition. Here he is talking about
22:57
Speaker 1: why he did it. We felt that having don there
23:01
Speaker 1: would show disrespect to our family members because of the
23:04
Speaker 1: people he supports. And one last person, a person Curtis
23:08
Speaker 1: you and I know very well, John feel who is
23:10
Speaker 1: head of the Feel Good Foundation. I've been on the
23:13
Speaker 1: bus with him and other nine to eleven survivors going
23:17
Speaker 1: to Washington more than a couple times, three or four times.
23:20
Speaker 1: When he finally did get Congress to give money to
23:23
Speaker 1: those who died after nine to eleven and continue to
23:26
Speaker 1: die until this day, John apparently has been trying to
23:31
Speaker 1: meet with Mom Donnie, and Mom Donnie is not meeting
23:33
Speaker 1: with him, and he said so don't show up now.
23:36
Speaker 1: If you didn't show up for the people in the past,
23:39
Speaker 1: don't show up now until he does something proactive for
23:43
Speaker 1: the nine to eleven community.
23:44
Speaker 2: He should just sit there in city Hall.
23:47
Speaker 1: He should just sit there in city Hall. He's going
23:49
Speaker 1: to be a blight on that day, and he's going
23:52
Speaker 1: to be disrespectful to the people who deserve respect on
23:57
Speaker 1: that day and to the memories of their love.
24:00
Speaker 2: Well, you got a problem here. He's the first Muslim
24:04
Speaker 2: elected mayor of the City of New York. He's the mayor.
24:08
Speaker 1: He's gonna go him being Muslim has nothing to do
24:11
Speaker 1: with Oh yes, it does. It doesn't because it's what
24:13
Speaker 1: he said, not who he is. Oh yes, what he does.
24:17
Speaker 2: I'm going to take you back twenty ten, there was
24:20
Speaker 2: a proposal to build in the Islamic Center thirteen floors high,
24:27
Speaker 2: in which Michael Bloomberg supported it as Mayor. Julie Menham,
24:31
Speaker 2: who was the head of Community Board one now the
24:33
Speaker 2: speaker of the City Council, supported it. There were demonstrations
24:37
Speaker 2: foreign against foreign against. The perception was you just don't
24:42
Speaker 2: want a Muslim house of worship near the World Trade Center.
24:46
Speaker 2: That's what the perception was, So, you have a million
24:50
Speaker 2: Muslims in New York City. Apparently a lot of people
24:53
Speaker 2: do not understand how Zoron Mondami won this election. You
24:57
Speaker 2: had close to a million people who were qualified to vote,
25:01
Speaker 2: who are energized to go out and vote. Okay, So
25:04
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, because we have a first Muslim
25:07
Speaker 2: mayor of the City of New York, he's not to attend.
25:11
Speaker 1: It's what he said, not who he is. It's his
25:14
Speaker 1: statements from the past where he supported the people who
25:18
Speaker 1: brought down the towers on nine to eleven, when he
25:21
Speaker 1: praised emans who had a connection to it. It's not
25:25
Speaker 1: you read the petition. Have you read the petition? It
25:28
Speaker 1: lists all the things he said in the past, and
25:31
Speaker 1: that's what they're talking about. He has had disrespect for
25:34
Speaker 1: nine to eleven since he's it happened.
25:37
Speaker 2: There's a perfect way to handle this, because he is going.
25:40
Speaker 2: You can knock yourself out thinking he's not going to go.
25:43
Speaker 2: He is going. Didn't the mayor just suggest, because he
25:46
Speaker 2: cannot arrest bbnet in Yahoo legally, that people should come
25:51
Speaker 2: out and protest. And he say that when bb comes
25:54
Speaker 2: for his annual visit before the General Assembly. Now I
25:56
Speaker 2: wouldn't suggest a protest. It's a very solemn day. You
26:00
Speaker 2: can turn your back on the mayor. The families will
26:03
Speaker 2: be there. That will suddenly certainly send a very strong message.
26:08
Speaker 2: But you know, I don't think a lot of people realize,
26:10
Speaker 2: because I was right in the middle of that mayoral campaign,
26:14
Speaker 2: that that issue may have propelled him to become the mayor.
26:18
Speaker 2: I'll take you back to October twenty third. Once I
26:21
Speaker 2: give you what was said, I think you can understand
26:24
Speaker 2: how it energized his base. The Muslims, lots of them
26:27
Speaker 2: had really never voted before, but they did come out
26:30
Speaker 2: in incredible numbers. So Andrew Como was starting to gain
26:34
Speaker 2: a lot of ground. You know, he had the support
26:37
Speaker 2: of the president. I was being told to drop out
26:40
Speaker 2: every day, so my support was dissipating. So Cormo goes
26:44
Speaker 2: on with sid Rosenberg in the morning at WABC, A
26:47
Speaker 2: shock Shock, and I'll repeat the conversation that haunted Cromo
26:52
Speaker 2: the rest of the way the two final weeks before
26:55
Speaker 2: the election results. So Cuomo said that Mandami lacked the
27:00
Speaker 2: experience to lead the city if another terrorist attack happened. Valid,
27:04
Speaker 2: that's a valid statement. That would have been a valid
27:06
Speaker 2: statement if he applied it to me. Cuomo then said,
27:10
Speaker 2: can you imagine Mandami in the seat? Good valid, valid statement?
27:16
Speaker 2: But the shock jock Sid said yeah I could, he'd
27:20
Speaker 2: be cheering, and then Sid is laughing, and who starts
27:24
Speaker 2: laughing with him like a jackal angewel Cuomo, and Cuomo said, yeah,
27:29
Speaker 2: that's another problem. Yeah. Well, the very next day there
27:33
Speaker 2: was Johan Mandami at a mosque up in the Bronx,
27:37
Speaker 2: demanding an apology. Even some of Cuomo's supporters said, man,
27:43
Speaker 2: what are you doing. You had two weeks left. Why
27:46
Speaker 2: were you going there, angewel Cuomo. And it really cost
27:50
Speaker 2: him a lot of support.
27:50
Speaker 1: I understand that, and that had to do with Muslims,
27:53
Speaker 1: and he was wrong to say that. He was wrong
27:56
Speaker 1: to laugh at her. To get it has nothing to
27:57
Speaker 1: do with this, nothing to do with this. This, No,
28:00
Speaker 1: it doesn't this. This are the families asking him not
28:05
Speaker 1: to be there because they believe it's disrespectful.
28:08
Speaker 2: It's not going. How is he going. He's the mayor
28:12
Speaker 2: of the city. Stop yelling. I gotta yell because you're
28:16
Speaker 2: yelling at me.
28:17
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm saying to you that to say that
28:20
Speaker 1: or islamophobic, is in soul.
28:22
Speaker 2: I didn't say that to that. That's what you're saying.
28:24
Speaker 2: When you're saying it's about being a history leading up
28:27
Speaker 2: to this, you know he's going to matter. Why do
28:30
Speaker 2: my alternative the same way he has suggested people protest
28:35
Speaker 2: BB when he comes the families, I wouldn't suggest the protests.
28:40
Speaker 2: It's a solemn occasion. They can turn their backs, but
28:43
Speaker 2: he's going to show up.
28:45
Speaker 1: But understand that it has nothing. They don't ever say
28:48
Speaker 1: it's because he's no, because it's not. That's not the reason.
28:52
Speaker 1: It's what he said in the past. It's him, not
28:55
Speaker 1: the fact that he's Muslim. It's not his religion. And
28:58
Speaker 1: nobody should be saying that about the people because they
29:01
Speaker 1: suffered on that day and they continue to suffer, and
29:04
Speaker 1: he's going to make them suffer even but you do
29:06
Speaker 1: this is a righteous cause.
29:07
Speaker 2: There's a perception of him being the first Muslim mayor
29:12
Speaker 2: of the City of New York.
29:13
Speaker 1: That's fine, that's You're absolutely right. Everything you said is true,
29:16
Speaker 1: except it has nothing to do with this petition.
29:18
Speaker 2: No, you're right phobic. I'm I'm glad you see at all.
29:22
Speaker 2: They haven't even hinted it. I'm just saying there's a history.
29:26
Speaker 2: I apologize. It should had all the apologizes. I apologize, Larry,
29:29
Speaker 2: I lost my coolie only because I was in the
29:32
Speaker 2: middle of that campaign where this became.
29:34
Speaker 1: I get it's personal, and you were right. Everything you
29:37
Speaker 1: said was correct. It just has nothing to do with
29:39
Speaker 1: these people.
29:40
Speaker 2: I respect these people and don't work it out. Good. Well,
29:44
Speaker 2: I love that. Let's see that. See that there's they
29:47
Speaker 2: taunt Well, wait up next, there's more daytime. That's what
29:51
Speaker 2: we're gonna argue about it. We had a discussion about
29:53
Speaker 2: Haitian healthcare workers. Apparently you had second thoughts, but you've
30:00
Speaker 2: had some sad for the reason you gave, but for
30:02
Speaker 2: another pretty good reason. Good. So, yesterday I was outlining
30:06
Speaker 2: that I had been in little Haiti in Brooklyn on Saturday,
30:11
Speaker 2: huge Asian American population, New Kirk Church, No strand a
30:15
Speaker 2: lot of people there, and they were concerned because they
30:18
Speaker 2: knew on Monday, which was yesterday, that their ability to
30:22
Speaker 2: work through temporary worker status would be revoked because they
30:27
Speaker 2: were permitted to come into the country after the earthquake
30:30
Speaker 2: that devastated Haiti, and they were worried that they might
30:35
Speaker 2: be picked up by ice, because the Feds have their
30:38
Speaker 2: addresses in order to stay in touch with them, because
30:40
Speaker 2: they've been able to work a lot of them in hospitals,
30:43
Speaker 2: a lot of them in long term nursing home care units,
30:46
Speaker 2: and mostly home care workers to be with the elderly.
30:50
Speaker 2: Didn't know much about the Syrians, what they do. Their
30:53
Speaker 2: work rights are restricted, And I said to Larry. We
30:57
Speaker 2: got into another heated discussion that what are we going
31:00
Speaker 2: to do for the elderly? And you are, you are
31:03
Speaker 2: very consitioned. What you've said before is like, hey, there'll
31:06
Speaker 2: be others should take their place. It's time for them
31:08
Speaker 2: to go back. But I see you very slightly matriculate.
31:12
Speaker 2: We matriculated, not even slightly. I now are I'm probably
31:17
Speaker 2: in the position that they shouldn't go back. Not because
31:19
Speaker 2: of the jobs that are here. They'll be filled.
31:22
Speaker 1: I've heard that argument a million times, and not because
31:25
Speaker 1: you know the elderly won't have anybody. They'll have somebody.
31:29
Speaker 1: But Republicans are now coming out against it. And I'll
31:32
Speaker 1: let them speak because I got the idea from them,
31:35
Speaker 1: and then I'll tell you how it changed me.
31:37
Speaker 2: This is Senator Rick Scott.
31:38
Speaker 8: There was always a temporary program. So we're going to
31:41
Speaker 8: come up with how do we fix the immigration system
31:43
Speaker 8: so people that we know are vetted that we want
31:46
Speaker 8: to come the way, live our way of life, undrew
31:49
Speaker 8: a capitalist's system can come here.
31:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's saying that I didn't know that he
31:55
Speaker 1: wasn't in that SoundBite. What he's what he's saying is
31:59
Speaker 1: we have have to come up with something that doesn't expire,
32:04
Speaker 1: especially if it's still dangerous to go back to where
32:07
Speaker 1: you were. And Governor Mike DeWine was better at explaining
32:11
Speaker 1: that no one.
32:12
Speaker 9: Could fly a plane into Quarter Prince because when they
32:17
Speaker 9: come in, they get shot out by the games that
32:19
Speaker 9: are controlling that area of Quarter Prince. So it's a
32:23
Speaker 9: very bad, bad situation. And the idea that you're going
32:26
Speaker 9: to shift people back to Haiti, you know, they're going
32:31
Speaker 9: back your horrible, horrible situation, that's worse, frankly than it's
32:35
Speaker 9: ever been.
32:36
Speaker 2: Yeah.
32:37
Speaker 1: Rick Scott had said that as well, something similar, that
32:40
Speaker 1: there's still an emergency, it's still dangerous. The very reason
32:43
Speaker 1: you gave them some temporary, proactive, temporary protective status still exists.
32:50
Speaker 1: So if it still exists, why on earth would you
32:53
Speaker 1: send them back to that.
32:54
Speaker 2: And it's actually gotten worse. They sent to kenyons In
32:58
Speaker 2: who were quite police military. The United Nations pay them
33:03
Speaker 2: very well, but they were not able to make a difference.
33:06
Speaker 2: The gangs just overwhelmed them. Next thing you know, they
33:09
Speaker 2: were on a plane back to Nairobi. It would require
33:12
Speaker 2: us going in. There's no desire on the part of
33:16
Speaker 2: Americans to put boots on the ground. If we went
33:19
Speaker 2: in there, they'd have it in lockdown, like they did
33:21
Speaker 2: after the earthquake. I was there after the earthquake, and
33:24
Speaker 2: we had military personnel there to help the distribute their
33:27
Speaker 2: supplies and there was devastation. There were gangs then that
33:31
Speaker 2: I came across, but they didn't have the impact of
33:34
Speaker 2: the gangs. Now the gangs control. There's no government. So
33:38
Speaker 2: Wick Scott, who made his wealth in the healthcare industry
33:40
Speaker 2: in Florida, he knows how valuable the Haitians are to
33:44
Speaker 2: that whole industry and the wine. Remember go back to Springfield.
33:48
Speaker 2: Remember became the issue they eating the dogs. Well, they're
33:53
Speaker 2: in all the industries now there because they work hard
33:56
Speaker 2: and they'll work for less than most Americans. And so
33:59
Speaker 2: he wants to so they can figure out a way
34:02
Speaker 2: but that is I would say, probably the most dangerous,
34:06
Speaker 2: out of control place in the world now because there
34:09
Speaker 2: is no government.
34:10
Speaker 1: And think of the logic. So you're protecting people, thirty
34:13
Speaker 1: five thousand of them. You're protecting them because it was
34:16
Speaker 1: too dangerous where they were, and that's why you give
34:19
Speaker 1: them temporary protective status. If it's still dangerous, you don't
34:24
Speaker 1: now just send them back. If the reason was solid,
34:27
Speaker 1: then it has to be solid now. So I get
34:31
Speaker 1: that argument, and I would think to myself, why would
34:34
Speaker 1: you send people back to their deaths? It makes absolutely
34:38
Speaker 1: no sense. So yes, yes, and look, you're gonna hear
34:42
Speaker 1: me change my position.
34:44
Speaker 2: I know. It's like, who's actually your ally in this
34:47
Speaker 2: huge diocese of the City of New York. This says
34:50
Speaker 2: thank you, Larry, because the Haitians they show up in
34:53
Speaker 2: on Sundays, they send their children to our Catholic schools,
34:56
Speaker 2: which keep them open, and they actually make contribution in
35:00
Speaker 2: the basket when we send it around for the bishops
35:03
Speaker 2: of fun for the parish fund, for the school fund. Oh,
35:06
Speaker 2: they are hardcore Catholics.
35:08
Speaker 9: Yeah.
35:08
Speaker 1: I've done news all my life, and so when I
35:10
Speaker 1: started doing some talk radio in Philadelphia and Delaware and
35:14
Speaker 1: other places. You have all these people coach me, and
35:16
Speaker 1: they always say, don't change your position, like keep your position.
35:21
Speaker 1: Well in news, we've changed our positions all the time.
35:24
Speaker 1: We would say sorry, that was not true or so
35:27
Speaker 1: I still have that in me. If I find something
35:30
Speaker 1: anytime that I think makes it so, I now have
35:34
Speaker 1: to come out on the other side of a position
35:36
Speaker 1: because I have new facts, I will every single time.
35:38
Speaker 2: No. No, to your credit, you did. And we don't
35:42
Speaker 2: get much news coverage about the chaosianiky and the gangs
35:46
Speaker 2: that control most of Haiti. Now people are trying to
35:49
Speaker 2: flee to the Dominican Republic because it's connected Hispaniola, you know,
35:53
Speaker 2: Dominican republican Haiti. They've built a wall to prevent the
35:58
Speaker 2: Haitians from coming in with Bob Weier and the Dominican military.
36:02
Speaker 2: They don't want him coming into eighty. So we don't
36:04
Speaker 2: want them coming here because obviously we want to be
36:09
Speaker 2: able to control what we already have. So they're already productive,
36:12
Speaker 2: they're working. If things change, if we can get control
36:15
Speaker 2: of the gangs, they've recovered somewhat from the from the earthquake,
36:20
Speaker 2: and then maybe at that point you may want to
36:22
Speaker 2: start sending them back, but not right now.
36:24
Speaker 1: The interesting thing is the two people you just heard
36:26
Speaker 1: are from are Republicans, so now that there's Republican support,
36:30
Speaker 1: this may change.
36:31
Speaker 2: And Lawler and mal Yatak has also who are opposed
36:35
Speaker 2: to the Administrative Administration's decision to do that. Well, guess
36:41
Speaker 2: what up next? We got to talk about Iran, BB
36:45
Speaker 2: and Zelensky separately because it's all in prime focus in DC.
36:50
Speaker 2: As everyone pays their last respects to Lindsey Graham, it's
36:53
Speaker 2: eight o'clock in the news.
