Hour 1: Yankees sweep · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Ah, Yankees win, Yankees win, Yankees win. We'll describe that
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: victory as they swept the Red Sox, annihilated them, two games.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: So go back to Boston, cry in your Boston baked beans,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: your Boston cream pie, everything Boston, I hate you. In fact,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: in 86, when the Mets played the Red Sox in
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the World Series, Larry, I hate both teams equally. When
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: people ask me, who are you rooting for? I said,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I'm like Switzerland. I hate them both equally, the Mets
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: and the Red Sox. So I couldn't be happier this morning.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: And I was happy last night. But then the number
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: one Yankee fan in our family came home. It's not me.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: It's Nancy. Nancy actually spent a summer driving a Mr.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Softee truck out at Lankron Conkamo in Suffolk County and
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: then Wine Dench. Wine Dench is the equivalent of being
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: in the South Bronx. It's like damned if you do,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: damned if you don't. You're going to get robbed going
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: out there, but that was the only route available. So
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: she could go to every Yankee home game. Wow. That's
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: how fanatical she was and still is. So she comes
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: in from a business meeting. They had a goodbye business dinner.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: They had been up in Albany doing business and some
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: of their colleagues were heading off. So they were wrapping
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: it up at a dinner last night and she came
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: in and she was completely traumatized. So immediately I'm thinking,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: oh my God, she got mugged. What happened? And it
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: takes her about five minutes to compose herself. And then
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: she dictates to me what she had went through earlier
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: in the evening at this dinner. Nice restaurant. Everybody's getting along.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: She happens to look out the window and on the street,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: main thoroughfare, she sees a woman slapping a young boy.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: She estimates a young boy about six or seven years old. Slapping,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: slapping the young boy. Young boy apparently is like wanting
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to grab on. to the woman. So she's assuming it's
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: his mother. And so she goes, let me go outside.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to go outside and make a call.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: She's not making a call. She's faking the call on
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the cell phone and she watches. And then she sees
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: this woman, African-American woman, wind up and, I mean, punch
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the boy. I mean, seriously hard. So she closes the
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: cell phone and she decides, I got to do an intervention.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Everybody is walking by as if nothing's going on. You know,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: they've got window shades on their eyes, cotton balls in
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: their ears, a zipper on their mouth, typical of New
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: York City of late.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: And she goes up to the woman and goes, why
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: did you just hit this young boy?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: That's my son. That's my son. You mind your own business,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: you effing white bitch. And then she goes on and on.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: And Nancy, again, tries to do an intervention, tries to
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: calm the situation. She sees the young boy is completely traumatized.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Young boy is crying.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: He's nervous. He's shaking.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: She's trying to calm down the situation. This woman would
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: not be calmed down. She was emotionally disturbed. And Nancy
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: has been with me when I do interventions with emotionally
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: disturbed persons. So she was clear on that. And she
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: realized there was nothing she could do. Nobody called 911.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Nobody did anything. They just kept moving, moving. So she
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: goes back inside. This is the Naked City, you know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: in 2026 where this goes on on a regular basis.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Men and women just acting out in the streets of
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: New York City. And people were oblivious to it. So
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: she's sitting down with her colleagues. And then all of
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: a sudden, this woman comes charging in, grabbing her son, continuing.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: To berate Nancy, putting a finger in your face.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Imagine every invective, racially charged invective you can imagine. Everybody
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: in the restaurant is stunned. She will not stop this woman. Continuous.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: And she's holding her son and grabbing him along. And
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: she's saying, she's saying to the young boy, you tell
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: him I'm a good mother. You tell him I'm a
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: good mother. I'm a great mother. I'm a, yes, mama, yes, mama.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: And she's yelling and yelling. And Nancy's going, oh, man,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: what am I going to do if she attacks me?
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have to defend myself. She's clearly emotionally disturbed.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: The other patrons are shocked. You imagine you're in a restaurant.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: They're shocked.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: It just so happens James was with her was filming this.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: And I hope to be able to post it. But
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: eventually what happens is the management and the waiters and waitresses,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: they just start pushing her out the door.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: They call the cops. Cops didn't come.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Can I ask how long it took before anybody intervened
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: at all, including the people that worked there?
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: My wife estimates anywhere from eight to ten minutes.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Screaming at the top of her lungs. And again, people
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: in New York City are used to this. You know,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: people just wailing away, screaming, hollering, yelling for, you know,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: endless time.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: So she eventually is pushed outside.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: But before she goes outside as she's dragging her son,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the son looks at James and says, please help me,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: help me, help me. That's what traumatized my wife. Not
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the fact that she was being verbally assaulted and physically
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: threatened and, you know, it was racially charged in words
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: that were being used. But the fact that the little
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: boy was looking at them like, please help me, help me.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: And my wife said to.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Me, you know, I'm normally not in favor of people
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: separating children from their parents, especially the mother, and sending
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: them to foster care. That can be a nightmare. But
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: in this situation, this boy is going to be traumatized
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: for life. God only knows if he survives. What is
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: going to happen in his mindset? Because, you know, those
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: who are abused end up tending to be abusers.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Or be violent.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: And so you think of a little boy like that,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: and you try to find... in your heart how possibly
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: someone could commit the most vile crimes that are committed
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: in New York City and across the country. There's the reason.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: That's the reason.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: It's upbringing.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: The police have been told, back off. You know, we
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: want mental health people with you. This goes back to
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: de Blasio Adams and now with Zorhan Mandar. No, we
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: need mentally health trained people. So the cops don't even
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: bother responding anymore because they know what the call is.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: It's an EDP call. They're very specific. When a 911
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: call comes in, you know, the operator who take the
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: 911 call says, is this person appearing to be emotionally disturbed?
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: And so you actually hear on some of the tapes, yeah,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: EDP reported at such and such. And the cops are like,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: what are we going to do? Well, what's supposed to
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: happen when an EDP is called in? Does no one
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: show up? No, the cops normally would have. But increasingly
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: more and more, they get chastised when they do. And
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: so they just decide, you know, they tell us we're
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: not qualified to deal with this. They tell us they
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: want mental health trained individuals to deal with it. What
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: are we supposed to do when we get there? We're told,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: leave the person alone. Don't take them into custody. Don't
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: even take them for a psychiatric observation at Bellevue in
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: which they get cut loose in 24 hours.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: It's insane.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Look, even Natalie today, although it may not have been
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: an emotionally disturbed person, you were coming to work.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: And some guy was screaming and yelling. How far away
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: did you hear it? Two blocks.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: I walked by a guy screaming at a coffee cart guy.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: And he was actually in a Yankee jersey. And I'm
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: thinking maybe he's a holdover from the game, drunk all night.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: And he was yelling so loud and, you know, in
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: his face, pointing and pointing. And there were people around
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: just walking by. Some didn't even, like, try to avoid it.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: I went around them so I didn't have to go
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: by them.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: And.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: Some guy was there texting.
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: I'm like, how can nobody?
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: This is insane. This is what the city has become.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: We're almost like immune to this. And I can only
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: tell you because I deal with EDPs all day long,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: like this morning coming to work on the subway.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: So with two of them.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Mumbling to themselves, one of them hitting his head on
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the side panel of the subway. And I went up
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: to him and I cautioned him. I say, guy, you're
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: hurting yourself. They don't belong in the streets and the subways.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: They need to be given care.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: I agree with you. I agree with you. I agree
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: with you. And I wish they could just take these
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: people and get them help. And I think we'd all
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: be safer. So I agree with you. But we keep
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: saying that, keep saying that, keep saying that, keep saying that.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: But when you have someone assaulting another human being, and
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: I don't care if it's her child. I can see
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: a slap. I can see a spank. I don't approve
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: of that. But I can at least understand that. When
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: you are beating your child, that's a crime. That's a crime.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: And that should be responded to. So when a phone
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: call goes out and says there's someone on the street
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: beating a child, doesn't matter if it's their child at
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: that point. It really doesn't matter. That's child abuse. So
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: that's why the story you tell is so upsetting. That
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: your wife was the only one that intervened and that
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: nobody intervened. And what is really ugly is the fact
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: that that continued in a restaurant and nobody, including the
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: restaurant ownership, intervened for eight to ten minutes. Eight to
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: ten minutes.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: No, there's something really, really wrong in this city if
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: that can continue to happen. And I understand why people
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: are moving out. I mean, it's not just the taxes.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: It's this.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Well, for instance, when I was lecturing at the University
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: of Pennsylvania a few weeks ago, I and Nancy were
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: staying downtown Philadelphia, right near Center City, right near City Hall,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: South Broad Street, Longstreet. of nice hotels there. Emotionally disturbed
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: people outside harassing their clients. I mean, you could tell
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: they were emotionally disturbed. They weren't just homeless. Nothing being done.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: This is happening all over the country time and time again.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: So we have empty spaces in mental health care facilities.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Empty.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I know that for a fact in New York. And
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: yet on October 13th, when we get the one and
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: only debate, there should be at least two or more.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I doubt seriously if the subject of mentally impaired people
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: will be brought up to either the governor Hochul or
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the challenger Blakeman in the course of, I think is
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: on a one hour debate.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: That's it. This is a serious issue in our state.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: And just, and just like all of those people walk
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: by and ignored what was happening on the streets. And
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: just like all of us walk by people talking to
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: themselves and possibly violent and threatening people every day that
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: we walk by saying, well, thank God they're not threatening me.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: We're the problems. That's the problem. That's the problem. And
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: it is exacerbated by the fact that if you were
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: to do anything, it would be your fault. So I
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: understand the reaction, but all of that has to change.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: And we had a guy that ran for mayor that
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: said he was going to hire all these mental health professionals.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: That didn't happen. That didn't happen. If you're making a
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: phone call when somebody is mentally disturbed and nobody comes,
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: where are the thousands? I, you know, You're right. It's
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: a problem that people finally just move away. That's the
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: only way you can deal with it, is just to
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: get away. By the way, side issue here, Larry.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Our own Natalie Magliore spotted a guy robbing mail this
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: morning out of the blue mailbox. At what time? 4.57
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: in the morning when there are no cops around. You see,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: it's systemic and nobody's doing anything about it.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: When we come back, can you call it a sweep
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: when it's only two games? Yeah, I guess. Yankees sweep
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: the Red Sox, plus a chance to see Stevie Wonder.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Sold out concert at Madison Square Garden. That's coming up
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: at 825. I'll tell you what, the Yankees are rolling.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Let's hope they can keep this mojo going through the playoffs.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: They're going to Tampa Bay on Saturday because they swept
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: the Boston Red Sox winning game two in big fashion, 8-1.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: And I want you to hear this, Curtis. In the
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: sixth inning, they were already up 5-1. Already up 5-1,
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: and Cody Bellinger comes up with two men on. And
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Dave Sims, the announcer, basically calls what's going to happen
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: next before it happens. If he were to go large here,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: this place would absolutely go bonkers beyond belief.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: So Cody Bellinger can get the dagger out if.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: He can do something big here. Swung on, deep drive,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: right field, got a chance, and there it goes!
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: A three-run homer! Cody Bellinger, 8-1 Yankees! And that was it.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: The Tampa Bay scored again, but that was really the
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: end of the game. But they look impressive.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the Red Sox are impaired. Look, I hate
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox. Their best hitter was down for the count.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: They didn't have it. Now they go into Tampa Bay,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: who has been a better team all year long, and
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: they are the standard of how you can have a
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: minimum payroll and continue to win your division year after
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: year by playing fundamental baseball. stealing bases, hit and run, bunting,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: all the basics. And it was a guy years ago
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: named Stuart Sternberg from Canarsie, went to Canarsie High School.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: He bought them. Nobody wanted them. In fact, they wanted
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: to move them. They get no fans in the stands.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: They're out there in St.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Petersburg.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: They're not even in Tampa. You got to go across
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the causeway. And yet game one is Saturday night in Tampa.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: And you would have to favor them because their pitching
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: is as good as the Yankees, but they play fundamental baseball.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: The Yankees play long ball. And if they don't hit
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: long ball, they lose.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, in a baseball season, you follow
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: team after team after team, which I have. It's all
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: about being hot at the right moments. You've seen it
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: happen before. You've seen surprise teams that just get hot
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: at the right time. I don't know if that's going
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: to happen after two games, but it sure looks that way.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Well, he did this without Aaron Judge, right? Remember I
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: said do not let him in the lineup.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, we know.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: He sucks in the playoffs. Keep him out the rest
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: of the way. He does.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: You heard that when Natalie Magliore went in the streets
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: and people were saying, yeah, he's horrible.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: In the playoffs.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: If he can play, he's playing. That's what's going to happen.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Then they'll lose.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: People don't intervene because they don't want to be. sued
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: because our story a few years ago a guy saved
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: a woman from crossing the street inadvertently she was looking
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: at her phone and he grabbed her before she was
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: going to get hit by a bus and he pulled
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: her down to the sidewalk she sued him because he
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: inappropriately grabbed her and hello he saved your life and
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: now you're suing him because he inappropriately grabbed.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: You yep that is one of the reasons There should
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: be a good Samaritan law that if you intervene and
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: you put yourself at risk, that even if there's a
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: lawsuit that results, the people will cover you with qualified
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: immunity and you would see a lot more people getting involved.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: He's absolutely correct.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: That's a great idea.
• 15:36
  Speaker 8: What upsets me a lot, too, is when a person
• 15:40
  Speaker 8: passes an emotionally disturbed person begging for money and.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: They're like, I'll go get a job.
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: Well, what exactly are they qualified for with, like, 10-year-old
• 15:50
  Speaker 8: sweatpants to have five holes in them and they smell
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: like they haven't showered since the Clinton administration?
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, give these people a break. Some of them
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: are past that point. Yeah, absolutely.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: There are some people who get very jaded and will
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: curse them or tell them, like you said, go get
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: a job. And you look at that person and you say, well,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: what kind of a job could they work?
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: They need help.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think you were talking about all homeless
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: people because many of them are there because of drug
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: abuse or some other problems in their life. What you're
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: talking about is the violent people, the mentally ill, violent people,
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: and that does have to be dealt with. I think
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: we all agree with what you just said. There are
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: homeless people you can feel bad for and try to help.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: I get it. There are many that commit crimes and
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: just all of a sudden attack people. And those are
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: the people that always there's some signs beforehand need to
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: be taken and they need to be put away. Now
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: let's get the news with Daria Albinger at 630.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Daria.
• 16:58
  Speaker 9: Morning, guys.
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: Mostly cloudy, mild, and muggier today with a high of
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: 76 degrees. An argument may have led to a deadly
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: stabbing on the subway.
• 17:07
  Speaker 9: It happened a little before 5.30 p.m. on the northbound
• 17:11
  Speaker 9: J train as it approached the Woodhaven Boulevard subway station
• 17:14
  Speaker 9: in Queens. A 59-year-old man stabbed multiple times in his
• 17:19
  Speaker 9: chest and neck. He died at a hospital. A person
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: of interest was taken into custody. The investigation is continuing.
• 17:28
  Speaker 9: Andrew Whitman, WOR News.
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: The governor of Tennessee has ordered an investigation into what
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: can now be described as the attempted execution of the
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: state's only woman on death row. Krista Pike is still
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: alive and at a hospital after surviving two lethal injections.
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: After nine months on the job, Mayor Mamdani has finally
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: gotten top-level security clearance. This is something that the FBI
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: usually handles, and there's speculation that President Trump might have
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: had something to do with the delay. A plumber may
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: have kept the pilot on a flight to Israel from
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: crashing the plane, subduing the pilot, and taking control, helping
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: the jet to land safely.
• 18:06
  Speaker 10: When the plane finally touched down, they sang. They were
• 18:12
  Speaker 10: on the ground for eight hours. Saudi Arabia refusing to
• 18:16
  Speaker 10: let Israel send its own planes. And many did not
• 18:19
  Speaker 10: want to board another fly Dubai jet until Israeli security
• 18:22
  Speaker 10: vetted the new crew. But eventually, they reached Tel Aviv.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: ABC's Karen Hua.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: Residents of Deal Park, New Jersey, want a divorce from
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: Ocean Township. So they've petitioned to secede. They're looking to
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: get back together with the borough of Deal. Now here's
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: the problem. Deal has no plans to reconcile. It's not
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: the first Jersey Shore breakup this year. South Seaside Park
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: left Berkeley Heights back in the spring. The Yankees head
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: to the American League Division Series after sweeping Boston 9-2
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: last night. They'll face Tampa Bay on Saturday night. And
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: the Islanders drop their season opener to Toronto. The Devils
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: will open their season tonight at home against Philadelphia. Next news,
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: 7 o'clock, bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, up next, that New York Democratic conservative judge. Remember
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: the one I told you his name is Ozzie? Ordered
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: the city to scrap Mondami's Pierre Duterte tax, the second
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: home tax. We'll also talk about the Derek Jeter tax
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: rule as the Yankees are going to Tampa for the
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: continuation of the playoffs.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: But meantime.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: After we discuss that, I want you to keep in mind,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: starting this Monday, WOR has nine chances every weekday to
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: score a grand in your hand. Listen for the keyword
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: every hour from 9 a.m.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: To 5 p.m.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Enter it on our website and you could win $ 1, 000
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: starting this Monday. What do you call that secondary home
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: tax again?
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: You're very good in French. What was that, Larry?
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Pied de terre.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Pied de terre. Just secondary home tax.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: The Zohar Mandami administration suffered a setback. Remember, I told
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: you Judge Ozzie on Staten Island State Supreme Court is
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: an exception to the rule. He's a Democrat who's a conservative.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: And he certainly used conservative principles in ruling against the
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: city by saying, although I'm not ruling it's unconstitutional, you
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: botch this roll up every conceivable way from publicizing names
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: and owners and addresses to the fact That you unlawfully
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: sent notices to the people who, quite frankly, didn't have
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: a second location. Because this is supposed to apply to,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: let's say, a lot of people live in Florida. That's
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: their primary residence. If you have a secondary home. in
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: New York City or state, it's a state law, then
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: you could have that, what would I.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Call that tax again?
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: The aid to terror.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: A second tax that Zoran Mandami got in a trade
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: with Kathy Hochul. Because remember, he wanted a tax billionaire.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Kathy Hochul said, no, no, no, no. I give you
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the secondary home tax. So if you own a home,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: $ 5 million or more, or a condo or co-op, $ 1
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: million or more, you're subject to this. When all is
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: said and done, it's only about 10,000 properties. that you
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: can apply this to. But 17,000 were alerted. And then
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: you had all the people whose names and addresses and
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: properties were posted publicly. You had nothing at all to
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: do with this. So basically, the judges said, look, you
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: got to roll it out all over again. You got
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: to start from scratch with, oh, no, sorry, my nami.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: They decided to appeal this. They can't win this. They
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: can't win this. So they should just start all over again.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: How big of an embarrassment is this to him? I mean,
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: first of all, he said he was going to tax
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: the rich.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Remember that?
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: That was the number one thing he was going to do.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: I'm going to tax the rich. I'm going to tax
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: the rich. I'm going to tax the rich. And nobody
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: stopped to say to him, you really can't. You can't
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: do it by yourself. You're going to have to get
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: the state to agree. And Kathy Hochul is going to
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: be running for reelection. She's not increasing taxes. Even if
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: the legislature decided they were going to do what you wanted,
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: which they didn't, even if they did, Kathy Hochul was
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: going to veto it. She can't.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: She'd lose.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: She'd lose re-election if she did. So he was never
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: going to get that. So what they did is this
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: is Pierre Duterte tax, which is started in Paris and
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: really didn't spread that many places across the country. Curtis,
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: you know how many other places in this country has
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: such a tax?
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Well, I know Andrew Cuomo wanted it to subsidize the MTA,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: but he wasn't able to get it.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: No, I have no idea.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Montana.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Montana.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: That's the last place I would have thought that would
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: have had it.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because they have a lot of places that people
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: that buy land there and then are never there. And
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: they're saying, well, that's not fair. And then so I
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: get Montana, but that's the end of the list.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: There's not many places in the world that have this
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: ridiculous tax. And it obviously is just a tax that
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Here in New York, more than Montana. Montana, I kind
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: of get, because there's people that don't go there for years.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Well, they're more bison out there than people.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know. Montana's beautiful, though.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: It really is.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: I have friends that moved out there and bought ranches,
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: so it really is beautiful, but I get it for them. Here,
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: it was just a money grab. It's always been just
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: a money grab. And when he got this consolation prize...
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: from the state, he got so excited because he was
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: finally going to be able to say, look, at least
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: I taxed the rich a little bit.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: But what happened?
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: He rolled it out wrong. He put on names of
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: people that didn't even qualify for this. Some that it
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: was their original home and they were living there, older
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: couples who you saw on the news all the time.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Then he had to do a redo on that. And
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: now he may not even get it in the first place.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is, all of it is so embarrassing.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: All he has to do is send invoices to the 10,000.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: He has seven weeks to do that to put the
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: tax into effect January 1st. Now, I'm sure it'll be challenged.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: It'll get challenged by everybody.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the bigger case, and nobody's paying attention to this,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: is in Suffolk County. Because remember, this is a state law.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: So Steve Wynn, you know, owns all those casinos, Vegas, Macau, everywhere.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: He has a mansion out in the Hamptons, and he's
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: going into court. state Supreme Court in Suffolk County and
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: challenging the whole secondary home taxes being unconstitutional.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: So if he wins that, you can't do it in
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: New York City.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: And then there's the other issue that nobody's talked about,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: but I'll bring it up now because number two, Derek Jeter,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Captain Derek Jeter. I don't know, people realize that New
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: York State comes after you from the cradle to the grave.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: So they have a 183-day physical presence rule. Now, Derek Jeter, right, untouchable, right?
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: He was like superstar extraordinaire. Not to the New York
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: State tax authorities. He set up a mansion in Tampa,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: which is Yankee's spring training location, a very nice mansion,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: built it from scratch. And he claimed he spent most
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: of his time there because there's no income taxes in Florida.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: But the state revenue said, we're going to follow Derek.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Do you know the law is this, Larry? This is
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: how crazy the law is. If you had a layover,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: let's say you flew to JFK and you had a
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: two-hour layover to catch a flight to England, that's a
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: day that you spent in New York. If you stopped
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: to have a business meeting, right, that's a day. So
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: if you spent 184 days of what they call residency
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: in New York City, You got to pay all your
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: income tax to New York City.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: For your worldwide revenues. That's ridiculous.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Whatever you do all over the world. That's the Derek
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Jeter rule. And he settled it for millions and millions
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: of dollars. But they send detectives after you.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: It's absolutely ridiculous. Look, here's a bright idea. Why don't
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: you cut government? Why does it have to keep growing?
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Why does it only keep growing in blue states? How
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: come that happens?
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Well, to do what was done by DeSantis. He cut
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: property taxes.
• 26:17
  Speaker 8: No kidding.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: This is what Bruce Blakeman is promising to do. He
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: wants to do it for income tax. He'll have his
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: chance to roll it out on his one and only debate.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: There should be at least two or more on October
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: 13th against Governor Kathy Olsen.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: But explain that to me. I mean, the population is leaving.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: And for some reason, that never is part of the solution.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Never part of the solution is, you know what, we
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: should just cut the size of government. We don't need
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: all these people. Look at Lamdani. I mean, how many
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: people did he add? He added all these departments. Of
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: course he needs more money. He's got to pay his payroll.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: Cut government. That's the only way you're going to save
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: this state.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Larry, who was the only person that said that in
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: the debates when I was running for mayor?
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: You did.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Cut property taxes, income taxes, cut government, $ 10 billion from
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: the Department of Education budget.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: You did.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Gee.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Hmm.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: But it's not free. You're not giving away free stuff.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: But even though he can't possibly do it, knew that
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: he never could. Now, it gets to you. You know
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: who we have coming up next, and it's an important
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: time to have him. A lot going on in the world,
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: especially when it comes to Iran. We don't have.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: John Decker coming in next?
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Hey, City Council, you can't escape the mishegosh in the
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: City Council.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: I'm so excited about having John Decker coming in.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, but 23 different bills that are going to
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: go nowhere to stopping these marauders on their e-bikes in
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: the streets of New York City.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Up next.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Also, our 2026 iHeart Radio Music Festival presented by Capital One.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Relive all the biggest moments streaming on Disney Plus and Hulu.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: That starts today. You can start watching it today. Who
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: knew that this fight to control e-bikes and really all
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: bikes in the city, you should have different classes depending
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: on how fast they go. Who knew it would be
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: this controversial? You can't get anything done. And it's not
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: just New York. It's all around the country. Everybody is
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: having a problem getting something through, and I'm not even sure.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: I know Uber's got a problem with it, and I
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: know that there are other companies that have deliveries that
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: have a problem with it, that they don't want to
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: go through the hubbub. But man, you had 20 pedestrians die.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: You had somebody die this week that was hit by
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: an e-bike in Central Park. You had someone killed on
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: the streets of New York earlier by a pickup truck.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: People are dying. You need to have some type of regulation.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: So city council, they originally had 23. They cut it
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: down to 17 yesterday. And they're talking about passing that.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: And I know that New Jersey right now, New Jersey,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: God bless them. They have the toughest e-bike and bicycle
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: laws in the country right now where you have to
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: get registered. There are some other states that do require registration,
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: but only if you get over 20 miles per hour.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Under that, and rest of bicycles don't have to. New Jersey,
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: it's across the board. So they're really smart about that.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: But Julie Menon, who said yesterday she's all for registration,
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: she'd be happy to do it. And so the question is,
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: why doesn't it get done? We'll have to see what happens,
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: because it's a fight right now, and there's a lot
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: of money fighting this from the other side. And that's
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: why the state can't do it. They have legislation called
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: Priscilla's Law that constantly gets stalled. But the city council
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: leader had a great point. She looked at city leaders
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: to find out what the city and what the Mamdani
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: administration would want to do about this. And she said, look,
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: I can pass all the laws in the world, but
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: if you don't enforce them, they don't mean anything.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: The council's now passed several laws on this, and no
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: one knows anything about them. We passed them for a reason.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: So one of the reasons for this hearing is to
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: get the commitment from the agencies to actually enforce the
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: current laws we have in the books that are not
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: being enforced.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: We are 100% going to take that back.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: And so I'd like a commitment from both agencies in
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: writing to us. We really want to, I just don't
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: want to have like more conversations.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Okay. I wanted to play that Curtis, because that's the
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: comment that scared me. It scared me because it made
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: it sound like she was saying, and maybe I'm reading
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: too much into it, but I listened to the whole
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: thing and it sounds like she's saying, well, maybe if
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: you just go ahead and enforce the laws we've already
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: passed that are on the books, we don't need to
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: do anything more. I got that impression from that question.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: So that all of this would just be smoke and
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: no fire.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Well, look, Jersey is as blue as New York in
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: many ways. And yet you pointed out how they lead
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: and we refuse to follow. So if you're Julie Menon,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: just pass the legislation. Force the mayor to veto it.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Don't play around any longer. 23 bills are now down
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: to 17 bills. Maybe in a year's time we'll get
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: it down to one bill that can be voted up
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: or down. But this is ridiculous. When you are the speaker,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: whether of the House, you know Johnson can control everything
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: in the House. Look up in Albany and in Trenton.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Speakers can control everything. And in city council, speakers control
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: what gets entered. into discussion on the floor for open
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: debate and vote. That's why the horse carriage bill was
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: never entered into the floor for debate because Adams, the
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: previous Adams, who's running for lieutenant governor now with Kathy Hochul,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: hated that bill.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: So she wouldn't enter.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: So Julie, enter a bill, have an up and down vote,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: let the council people debate it openly. Let it be
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: a strong enforcement bill and then force the mayor's hand
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: on it.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: No, that'd be great. If she would do that, she
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: probably won't. Because although you can put something up, all
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: the people you mentioned have this same problem. You can
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: put something up, doesn't mean it's going to pass. And
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: many times they don't want to put something up if
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: it's going to fail. I agree with you. Go ahead
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: and put it up. Just do it. Get people on
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: the record voting yes or no. This is the argument
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: that's made all of the time. And they never go
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: through with that.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Never.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: Remember, Trump said the SAVE Act. I know you don't
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: have the votes. Put it up. I want to see
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: where people are on the record. John Thune said no,
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: because there's certain people he doesn't want to embarrass. So
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: they try to get the votes behind the curtain, and
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: then they don't put it up until they know they
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: have the votes.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: I would say, Julie Manning, force the issue. Stop tiptoeing
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: through the tulips. Force the mayor's hand to veto the legislation.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Well, where are we right now with the war on Iran?
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: It gets brought up all of the time. Then it
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: just kind of disappears. Then it reemerges. But where are
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: negotiations right now? Are there any negotiations? I know Iran
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: wants to talk. Does Donald Trump?
