  Speaker 1: What a day yesterday was at City Hall as a
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: press conference took place. The mayor, his staff, others who
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: were involved in and around 9-11, and the keynote speaker
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: was Jon Stewart. His friend was also there, who you
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: know personally very well, Larry.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Jon Field.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: And there were assorted people in the crowd who were
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: not really political. I could just tell by looking. But
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the information that was revealed was damning. Apparently, they had
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: found finally, after many, many years of searching during the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: administrations of Giuliani, Bloomberg, de Blasio, and most recently Adams,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: about 68 boxes in the Department of Environmental Protection. that
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: had to do with reports on the air quality in
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: and around the 9-11 attack site. Very extensive, including what
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: could be a very damning report by a deputy mayor
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: of Rudy Giuliani's administration, Robert Harding, who I've known pretty well,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: at least many, many years ago, it's called the Harding Memo.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: And boy, if it's true, Larry, There's a lot of
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: people who have to be able to answer the question,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: which right now nobody is answering. When did you know?
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: What did you know? And what, if anything, did you
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: do about it?
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: They never warned anybody, even that it might be dangerous.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: If you remember, Christy Todd Whitman, former governor, head of
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: the EPA at the time, said that the air was fine.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: If there was anybody in the city that knew different
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: because they were doing testing right then. You can see
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: from the files they were doing testing at the time.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: They didn't see anything. They didn't see a thing that
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: made them realize this air might be dangerous. This gets
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: very personal for me because I think that anybody that
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: used to watch my commentaries on WPIX know that I
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: did them once or twice a week. on this very topic.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: And I, I went on, on bus with busloads of
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: first responders, many of them, wheelchairs, many of them with
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: breathing apparatuses down to Congress to beg them for money
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: to help on the illnesses they got on that day.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: The thing is they were the living proof. We all knew,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: we all knew it was making people sick. How could
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: you not know? Curtis, there was four buses that we
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: went down there on. More than half of them are
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: dead now. More than half of them died. More than
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: half of the people I got to know died from
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: 9-11-related illnesses. All kinds of weird illnesses that people don't get.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: And we just kept looking the other way. Oh, sure,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Congress passed money to help them and get medical treatment,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: but they kept dying, over 9,000 of them. So look,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: where are we at with this now? Evil has been done.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: That's pretty apparent. There was information that could have helped
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: people that was held back because nobody wanted culpability. Nobody
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: wanted the lawsuits. And to me, and I think to
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: the law, that's criminal. Like it shouldn't end here. It
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: shouldn't end with the release of documents that There should
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: be criminal charges. And I know probably nobody in the
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: city will take this case. So I look to the
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: federal government.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: The U.S.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Attorney should be looking at this. and finding out when
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: people knew. Because let's just say, Curtis, it wasn't right away.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Let's just say it wasn't at that moment. Let's say
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: it was a few weeks later. Well, people were working
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: at that site for years, and they were complaining the
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: entire time that there's something wrong with the air, and
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: they were told over and over again, no, no, no,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: you don't even need a mask. Oh, no, no, no,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: it's fine. It's fine. It wasn't fine. And people died.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: And people that I know died. And someone has to
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: be held accountable. It can't be the release of a document,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: and then you say, oh, guess what? Everything's okay now.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: We admitted to it. All right, let's move on. No, no, no, no.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: And you pointed it out, Curtis. It's administration after administration
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: after administration, but it has to start with the first one.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: The hero of 9-11, Rudy Giuliani, the mayor that led
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: us out of 9-11, doesn't look so good right now.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: And anybody in his administration doesn't look so good right now.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: And there has to be at least hearings. I would
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: hope that there's going to be congressional hearings and that
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: people are called in front of them and asked the
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: simple question, what did you know and when did you
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: know it? Because obviously there was testing going on. We
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: know now we have paperwork. There was testing going on
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: from the very beginning. And there was a sign at
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: the very least, although it's probably deeper than that, that
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: that air was dangerous. That air was dangerous to be in.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: And did they give out gas masks?
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: No.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Did they make any accommodations for the people that had
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: to work on that pile? No.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: None.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Not a one. So people died. And in my opinion,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: at this point, there was culpability from the government. And
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: this can't stop after this. Let's remember 9-11. Let's take
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: time this week. We don't want this to get in
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: the way of the remembrance. But in the back of
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: your mind, This can't be forgotten. As soon on Monday,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: next Monday, they should announce hearings. Next Monday, there should
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: be the U.S. attorney talking about an investigation. Next Monday,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: all that should start. Because there has to be more
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: than this. It can't be, oh, look, we all knew. Okay,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: let's move on. No, no, no. There's too many people.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: This was, at the very least, manslaughter. if you knew
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: what was going on and you did nothing and you
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: could have saved lives and you did nothing, you killed people.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: People that came to this city's aid, people that tried
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: to rebuild this city, you killed them. And so Curtis,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: you know, you can tell this is pretty personal to me,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: but I want an accountability. I want a commission. I
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: want like a Warren commission almost. I want a commission
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: to look into this and figure out what people know.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: And I need those that died to know that we
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: cared about them that much that we fought to find
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: out what happened to them. And we held those that
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: did this accountable. No doubt.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: In fact, John Stewart was very eloquent in explaining the,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: To the world, really, what was in the first drop
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: is 170,000 pages. There's many, many more to come in
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: those 68 boxes. But he had quite a bit to say.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: There was poison in the air and on the ground
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: and in the windowsills and in your air conditioners and
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: covering your pets and your clothes. And it stayed there
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: for months.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Everyone knew.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: And it was in lungs. Yeah, everybody knew, but it
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: was in lungs as well. That was the worst part.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: You know, I didn't have the personal relationship that you
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: obviously did, Larry. What really brought my attention to this
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: were all the people who were told you could continue
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: to live in the area. One of them was Donna Summers,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the great disco queen who died of lung cancer. She
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: had an apartment down there. She had never smoked, no
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: secondary smoke. probably attributable to the lung cancer from asbestosis,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: which could surface any time from 15 to 60 years,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: you know, those fibers, those inhaled fibers. So you say
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to yourself, in addition to all the men and women
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: who are down, you know, trying to find the last
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: remnants of those that have been crushed to death, people
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: removing the debris, the construction people, People had to work
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: in the area. People had to go to school in
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: the area. People who lived in the area. It's a lot,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of people.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Do you know four out of five firefighters that were
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: there had some type of diagnosis of 9-11 conditions? Four
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: or five of those firefighters. And how was that ignored
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: all this time? Do you know that there are almost
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: 4,000 people right now as we speak battling cancer linked
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: to that toxic dust? So this is a current problem.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: This is a murder that's still happening. You know, it's
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: a mass murder that's still happening. Not knowing. Murders gets
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: carried away because there has to be intent. I don't
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: think the intent was on the people that covered it up.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: But they're complicit. They're complicit in killing people.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: And they had to have known. You know it had
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: been discussed. We know, as you mentioned, Christine Todd Whitman
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: immediately announced on behalf of the EPA, the air is clear,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: it's clean, it will not be a threat to you.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: She has since apologized. What are you apologizing for if
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: you were reading from a report that said the air
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: was clear, or did you just rush that through? Was there.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: A predetermined attitude that you couldn't just vacate the whole area,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: let's say south of 14th Street, that you had to
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: have people actively working there, going to school there, and
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: then obviously continuing with the extraction of materials and the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: search for any remnants of DNA of those who had
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: been crushed to death. So I think you're right. There
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: needs to be a commission. People need to be issued warrants.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: They need to give public testimony on this because, boy,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: this is pretty damning. And this is just the start.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: One hundred and seventy thousand pages. And it's all going
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: to be posted. It's being posted now on a portal.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: We'll have an opportunity to see for ourselves. But it's
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: not looking good for Rudy or Bloomberg, especially because those
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: were the main two mayors that came in. during the
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: attack and then obviously after the attack.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: But there's a lot of people that ignored it down
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: the road. You're right. They're the main culprits, but there's
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: a lot of people that ignored it. We want to
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: hear what you have to say. Go to the iHeartRadio
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: app and leave us a talkback. You could win a
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Curtis Lee, win Larry Mendte in the morning t-shirt. And
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: if you're picked as the best talkback of the day,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: and if you're picked as the best talkback of the week,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: you can win a C-Crane radio. And don't forget... The
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: sea crane radios work when it matters most. Well, the
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: 9-11 airport restrictions are going to be lifted, and you're
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: going to like what they want to do, plus a
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: chance to see Andrea Bocelli at 825. It's going to
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: be easier to fly in the near future, within the year, apparently,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: and they're already testing this out in some airports. Remember
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: when you used to go to the airport and if
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: you had a liquid with over 3.4 ounces, they'd tell
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: you they had to throw it away. They had to
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: take it. If you had a water bottle.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Trash bags filled with water bottles. Poland Spring. I mean,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: they might as well have been a subsidiary at every airport.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Just bags and bags of it.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Well, now because of new technology, they can test as
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: you're walking through their scanners whether the water is safe
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: or not. And so if it scans properly and you
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: have a big bottle of water and you're drinking it,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: you can keep going. They're not going to make you
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: throw that away anymore. Isn't that amazing?
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so I don't have to buy their $ 10 bottle
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: of water in the airport.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and also, listen to this, you're going to be scanned.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: If you think flock cameras were bad, they're going to
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: scan everything about you. When you go to an eGate
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: in the near future, there's going to be facial comparison
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: technology available. That will check immediately with your boarding pass
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: or your IDs. And it doesn't matter. You don't have
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: to take them out. They'll find them in your pocket
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: or purse.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Okay. So this is Orwellian. Very Orwellian. But thank God
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: they finally discarded that tradition of making you take your
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: shoes off.
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: Oh, I know.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: It was nothing more embarrassing to realize, oh, my God,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I got holes in my socks.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: I was real upset about it because it was because
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: of the shoe bomber. Remember the shoe bomber?
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: And it didn't go off. It just sizzled.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: And you know where that trial was? In Plymouth Rock,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Massachusetts in the federal playoffs.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Was it really?
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Yes, because it was a flight from, I believe, Paris
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: to Boston. When they tackled the guy, he was trying
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: to pull a ripcord on his sneakers.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: But then right after that, there was the underwear bomber.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: And I thought, oh, no, what are they going to
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: do to us now?
• 13:45
  Speaker 8: We have to take our underwear off at the airport?
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: That reminds me, as mommy always told me, you better
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: make sure you have a fresh pair of underwear on
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: each day. You never know.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: You may end up.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Going to the hospital. It won't look good for the family.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: One last thing with the TSA, the new regulations that
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: are coming within the year. They got so many complaints
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: from people that weren't allowed to go to the gate.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: And they said, we have little kids coming off. We
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: want to go meet them. We have an elderly person,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: a grandmother coming off that needs help. We'd like to
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: be the ones that helps them. They would not stand
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: at the gate waiting for help. We want to be
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: there and greet them. And they're saying that yes now.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: You'll be able to go to the gate. That's great.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: You have to go through pre-check first. They got to
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: check you out. All the things that I just talked about,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: you're going through a pre-check.
• 14:34
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 14:34
  Speaker 10: You have to have that TSA pre-check.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:37
  Speaker 10: So you got to pay them. So now you got
• 14:38
  Speaker 10: to pay them to go to the gate, but okay.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Whatever. You know, your signs, you got balloons, welcome home.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I know, it's nice. I saw that for a lot
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: of the servicemen and servicewomen in Pittsburgh International Airport, where
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: obviously they weren't following the rules. Because groups of men
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: and women in uniform were coming off, and the families
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: were there to welcome them home.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, they must have let them. There's no way they
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: could have got through.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: They must have let them.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: All right, let's get to some talkbacks. We were talking
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: about the findings about the air on 9-11 that were
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: released yesterday.
• 15:09
  Speaker 11: Giuliani personally lied to everybody. And on 9-28-01 and gave
• 15:18
  Speaker 11: the statement that there were low levels of asbestos and
• 15:22
  Speaker 11: the air was safe. Everyone knows there were two 110-story
• 15:26
  Speaker 11: towers that were lined with asbestos for insulation. I mean,
• 15:31
  Speaker 11: that alone tells you right there that they were breathing
• 15:36
  Speaker 11: in nasty stuff.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: A lot of nasty stuff. I've told the story on
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: the air before, but I talked to a guy from
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: MIT and in a lab, they tried to reproduce what
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: the air was like and they couldn't. And they said
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: there were so many odd materials and materials they had
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: never seen before that they couldn't replace it. So asbestos,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: you're right. Asbestos was part of it, but it wasn't
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: the only thing. It wasn't the only poison.
• 16:00
  Speaker 12: I think Mondani released these documents now that I think
• 16:06
  Speaker 12: he knew about it for a while, just to stir
• 16:10
  Speaker 12: the pot.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: You know, a lot of people were saying that, that
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: he was trying to deflect because people didn't want him
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: to go to 9-11, so he did this to deflect.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I don't care. I just don't care. This is much bigger,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: what he uncovered, what he put out. If that was
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: the onus to get somebody to finally do that, then good.
• 16:30
  Speaker 13: I was a police officer. I was there on the
• 16:33
  Speaker 13: day of 9-11, 2001. and the subsequent months right through
• 16:38
  Speaker 13: May of the following year, digging at the site. So
• 16:42
  Speaker 13: now that we know this information, which we've known all
• 16:45
  Speaker 13: along because we were breathing that air, now what?
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Well, that's a great question. I think that you probably
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: should contact John Feal from the Feel Good Foundation. They
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: have all the answers for this kind of stuff, and
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: they also have been lobbying Congress for a long time
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: for the compensation fund. But to get tested and all
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: that kind of stuff, there is money available for that.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Just go to the iHeartRadio app or online. Would they
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: have the email Larry Menti so I can give them
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: the information? There's a button there that you can get
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: my email and I'll send you the information.
• 17:20
  Speaker 14: Hey, good morning, Mr.
• 17:21
  Speaker 12: Menti.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Woke up today with Make America Great Again. But I
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: drive past the quick check at $ 4. 49 a gallon. My
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: empanadas went up 75 cents from yesterday. These oil companies
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: are making billions and billions of dollars. We're exporting oil
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: and we can't even help and bring down our own
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: gas prices. But hey, we got Gulf of America and
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: we got Lake America. Make America great again. Here comes
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: the laugh. No, he didn't laugh at the end. He
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: starts with Mr. Menti and he laughs at the end.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Read the room. It's not the day for this.
• 17:57
  Speaker 8: You have to get it in.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: You're right. Gas prices are high. I agree with you.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: They are high.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: End?
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Okay. Let's get to the news with Daria Albinger at 6.30.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 18:10
  Speaker 15: The empanada index.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 18:12
  Speaker 15: A new way to gauge gas prices. Warmer and humid today.
• 18:17
  Speaker 15: A high of 84 degrees. More 9-11 families are telling
• 18:21
  Speaker 15: Mayor Mamdani they... Don't want to see him at this
• 18:23
  Speaker 15: Friday's memorial.
• 18:24
  Speaker 16: The controversy surrounds Mamdani's appointment of Ramzi Qasem as the
• 18:28
  Speaker 16: city's chief legal counsel. Qasem previously represented a convicted al-Qaeda
• 18:32
  Speaker 16: member who was the brother-in-law of one of the 9-11 hijackers.
• 18:36
  Speaker 16: During a 9-11 signing last week, the mayor reportedly gave
• 18:40
  Speaker 16: a ceremonial pen to Qasem, which has drawn considerable backlash.
• 18:44
  Speaker 16: The mayor's attendance has already become a contentious issue. An
• 18:47
  Speaker 16: online petition circulating has now garnered more than 100,000 signatures
• 18:51
  Speaker 16: calling on Mamdani to skip Friday's ceremony. Liz Warner, WOR News.
• 18:55
  Speaker 15: Gas prices are rising as the war between the U.S.
• 18:58
  Speaker 15: and Iran intensifies again, and analysts say they could go
• 19:01
  Speaker 15: even higher.
• 19:02
  Speaker 17: The Pentagon says it's now targeting Iran's oil money, not
• 19:06
  Speaker 17: just its military. Iran hitting back overnight, releasing video of
• 19:10
  Speaker 17: what it says are missiles launching toward a U.S. base
• 19:13
  Speaker 17: in Jordan. Jordan says it shot down 18 missiles and
• 19:17
  Speaker 17: no one was hurt. The escalation coming as gas prices
• 19:20
  Speaker 17: here at home average $ 4. 15 a gallon, up $ 1. 17 since
• 19:24
  Speaker 17: the war began.
• 19:25
  Speaker 15: ABC's Karen Hua in Washington. We are paying more here
• 19:28
  Speaker 15: in the tri-state area. The AAA pegs the average price
• 19:31
  Speaker 15: in New York and New Jersey at $ 4.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: 31 a gallon, $ 4.
• 19:33

• 19:36
  Speaker 15: Kids in New York City head back to school tomorrow,
• 19:38
  Speaker 15: but some may not have buses to ride. A spokesperson
• 19:41
  Speaker 15: for the district says a bus shortage means thousands of students,
• 19:44
  Speaker 15: including some who are physically challenged, may be impacted. And
• 19:47
  Speaker 15: it was another late night at the U.S.

  Speaker 1: Politics is a dirty business, and boy, I'm going to
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: give you an update on what's going on in the
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Israeli elections, a document dump on Bibi as he scurries
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: to stay alive politically.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Hey, if you struggle to get good reception in your home,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: that's a really bad thing when it comes to the radio,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: because radios are really important to get you up-to-date information

• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Well, we know the midterm convention for the Republicans is
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: conducted today and tomorrow, with Trump being the keynote speaker
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: two nights in a row, J.D. Vance and other Republicans.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: So most of Americans are focused on that in Dallas.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: This is right before 9-11 on Friday. But in Israel,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: they have an election, too, at the end of October,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: a parliamentary election, which is really a plebiscite on whether
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Bibi stays after close to 20 years in leadership or
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: he goes. And for the very first time, Larry, a
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: coalition now has a pathway to unseat him. They would
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: have 61 seats in the parliamentary election without Arab parties
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: helping them. which is what all the Israeli parties want
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: to avoid, because then immediately there are others who say
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: you can't do a coalition with Arab parties. But that's
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: their way of doing elections. Now, as you know, yesterday
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: we talked about how Bibi was bragging on the campaign
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: trail in Hebrew and in English that his interviews with
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: America media, about a thousand hours worth, helped shape public
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: opinion in the U.S. and also convince the Trump administration
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: that diplomacy with Iran, uh, would fail. And that was
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: not a good thing because, uh, although he is using
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: that to try to coalesce his coalition around him, it
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: certainly plays into the argument that he goaded us into
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: this war. And it's turned out that we're at an
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: impasse right now with, uh, Iran and their, uh, their
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: client nations that are involved with them.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Can I just point out something right there? And that is,
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: he has pointed out in the past that he did
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: not talk Trump into it and nobody can talk Trump
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: into anything. And he even laughed it off and said,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: do you think that I could influence Donald Trump? He's
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: going to do what he wants to do. So he
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: either lied then or he's lying now.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Well, he's trying to get his folks to understand that
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: he's in control of Israel and not Donald Trump. Because
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: believe it or not, Israelis wanted him to do more.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Whereas Americans say, do less, you know, pull back out
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: of Lebanon, stop what you're doing in Gaza. In Israel,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: his opposition wants him to do more to deliver on
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: the promises that he made. Two other things have come
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: out since. A book was just published, and apparently this
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: by Israeli government ops, who said that Bibi and his
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: cabinet were warned about a possible Hamas attack 10 days
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: before October 7th when the carnage took place. 1,200 people killed, rapes, hostages,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: a complete horror, both by the UAE and Egypt. He
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: is claiming that that's absolute nonsense. But, you know, in
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: the coming days in the campaign, people are going to
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: come forward and say, oh, no, no, no, no. They
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: warned us that Sinwa was planning an attack. That was
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: the leader of Hamas at that time. And all your
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: leaders resigned. It was sort of like very similar to
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: us in 9-11, both first through Clinton and then through
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Bush 43. we were asleep at the wheel. That's why
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: we became so vulnerable to the successful attack that finally
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: took the towers down, which they tried to do in 93.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Same thing, October 7th, the leadership of Israel was asleep
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: at the wheel. There has not been an inquiry. The
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: citizens in Israel want an inquiry, like we had the
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: 9-11 commission that was head by Tom Cain Sr. And
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I believe Hamilton, the congressman from Ohio, that did a
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: thorough investigation and then published a report with some of
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: the items redacted that affected the Saudi family. And then
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: to show you this is politics, the dirtiest occupation that
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: has ever existed, no matter where it is. 33 years
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: after the fact, a woman named Dr. Ruth Barr used
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: to be involved with Bibi Netanyahu's strategic group, when he
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: was rising up in the Likud, the conservative leadership, 1993.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Some of the members who were trying to bump him
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: out of the leadership position floated the rumor to him
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: that they had videotapes of him and Dr. Ruth Barr
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: having sex. So Beebe, rather than checking to see the
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: veracity of the rumors that they had tapes, although he
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: was away, he was having an affair, Ran to Channel One,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: which at that time in 1993 was the only TV
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: station in all of Israel. So you had 100 percent eyeballs.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: He comes on to a live program and he does
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: the reverse of what Bill Clinton did. He said, yes,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: I did have sex with that woman, Dr. Ruth Barr.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: I have sinned. Oh my God, his wife kicks him
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: out of the house, Sarah. He couldn't be more apologetic.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Dr.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Ruth Barr said nothing at the time. She was well-renowned
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: as a strategic advisor. Well, guess who has emerged 33
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: years later in the Jerusalem Post, a good publication, in
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: which she now points out the good and the bad
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: of Bibi. So it's not like, you know, an attack
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: on Bibi. The bad part is she says that, We
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: always used to talk about how Bibi wanted to be
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: more than a prime minister. He wanted to be like
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: an emperor. But then she also points out the good
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: leadership traits of Bibi Netanyahu, how he could bring a
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: coalition together. He could put aside the differences. But can
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: you imagine this, Larry? 33 years after the fact, this woman, Dr.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Ruth Barr, has remained married to her husband, B.B. has
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: remained married to his wife, Sarah. They moved on with
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: their lives. They haven't had anything to do with one another.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: But this is politics. It all comes to the surface.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, and I would think to myself, if you're a
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: politician and they have to pull something from 33 years ago,
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: you're like, oh, I guess they couldn't find anything else.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: You know, if they do opposition research and that's all
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: they could find from three decades ago, I'm doing pretty good.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: But it's also good insight into the organizing ability of Beebe.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: This is not like salacious. This is just this is
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: the man, Beebe. This is how he organizes. This is
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: what his supporters that were working for his cause were saying.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: You know, you could be like the emperor. And he
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: was buying into it at that time. So I would
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: say it's the good, it's the bad. But I can
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: expect far more to come down the pipe. Because one
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: thing in Israel, they have a vibrant media. Lots of
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: newspapers now. Lots of TV stations. Lots of radio stations.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Lots of podcasters. Just like here in the United States.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: And that election... It's going to have an impact on U.S.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: policy in the Middle East and Persian Gulf, depending on
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: who becomes the next prime minister.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Latest polls, by the way, there show at a tie
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: of 52 votes to 51 votes with Netanyahu just slightly ahead.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: So that's going to be a race to watch. When
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: we come back after a horrendous, horrendous car accident that
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: killed a nine-month old little boy a mayor in new
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: jersey has had enough she wants to get rid of
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: sanctuary cities not only in jackson township but across the
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: state you'll hear from her coming up next and The

  Speaker 2: limited tickets are still available at AXS.com. Get yours while
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: you can. Well, sanctuary city policies really got popular under
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: the first Trump administration, if you remember. And everybody was
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: holier than thou. Everybody was standing up to Donald Trump
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: in his first term, saying you're not going to come
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: into our cities. You're not going to come into our states.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: And sanctuary city policies are basically that the local police
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: don't coordinate with ICE at all. If they pick up
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: somebody that's illegal, they don't even put it in the records.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: They don't even put it in the records that the
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: person's here illegally. That's why it is a fallacy when
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: you hear, well, the crime rate is lower among illegal
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: aliens than the general population. That's BS. It's higher. It's
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: just that it's not reported in any sanctuary state or
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: sanctuary city, so it doesn't make the FBI database. So
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: anytime you hear somebody say that to you, remember that.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: So we've had crime after crime after crime. We've had
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: death after death after death, and all of these people
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: protected by sanctuary cities because they believe that the person
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: that came here illegally is more important than the rest
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: of us. They should get some special rights. Well, we
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: had an incident last week in Jackson, New Jersey. It's
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: down in the middle of the state, you know, where
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Great Adventure is. That's where Jackson is. Real big. It
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: takes up a whole big, huge landmass. And the woman
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: driving the car that hit another car, it was an accident.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: It was a real bad accident. And the woman driving
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: the car that hit a car with a family in it,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: was Maria Coban Guzman, 20 years old. She is a
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Guatemalan national living in Trenton here illegally that was arrested before.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: And of course, they didn't take her information, you know,
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: because and say she was illegal or call ICE because
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: it was a sanctuary state, the whole state of New Jersey. Well,
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: the mayor of Jackson has had enough. She is fed up.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Jennifer Coon has been now on national TV. She put
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: out a video. She's all over social media saying, look,
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: don't blame us for this. We want to deal with ICE.
• 33:07
  Speaker 18: But they're undocumented and they're not legal. There's no reason
• 33:09
  Speaker 18: for this little nine-month-old baby to die. Condolences just at
• 33:13
  Speaker 18: this point are not enough. At this point, leadership needs
• 33:15
  Speaker 18: to step in and we have to do something. This
• 33:19
  Speaker 18: is a a death initiative never occurred.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: It's never made any sense that they can't just work
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: with ICE. It's never made any sense that they can't
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: work with the federal government.
• 33:29
  Speaker 18: If our police officers arrest somebody, they can't tell ICE
• 33:34
  Speaker 18: that they have them.
• 33:35
  Speaker 19: That's an issue for me.
• 33:36
  Speaker 18: This wouldn't have happened. It's happening more and more. And,
• 33:40
  Speaker 18: you know, we need to really think about what we're
• 33:41
  Speaker 18: going to do. We need to stand up for our police.
• 33:43
  Speaker 18: Our police are out there fighting for us and we
• 33:45
  Speaker 18: need to support them. We need to give them, uh,
• 33:47
  Speaker 18: The ability that if they have somebody that they can
• 33:49
  Speaker 18: report it, they should be able to communicate with other authorities.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: So she's thinking about doing that. She's checking with attorneys
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: in Jackson, but she wants the state law change, Curtis.
• 33:59
  Speaker 18: We want to avoid the next tragedy. And we definitely,
• 34:01
  Speaker 18: you know, this administration and myself is calling on counsel to, again,
• 34:06
  Speaker 18: create the resolution, follow suit with everybody else and, you know,
• 34:09
  Speaker 18: hold our government accountable and ask them to allow our
• 34:12
  Speaker 18: local law enforcement to work with federal law enforcement.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: And that's what has to happen. We need politicians to
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: stand up and say enough is enough. This happened in
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: my community. I hate it. You've got to do something. Obviously,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: that's the fact.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: But the reality is Sanctuary Cities came about when Chris
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Christie was governor, when Pataki was governor in New York,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: and Rudy was mayor, to encourage the illegals to come
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: forward and report crimes because they weren't doing that before.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: And gangs were taking advantage of that.
• 34:42
  Speaker 14: So.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: There'd have to be a lot of negotiations in Trenton
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: in order to do that. But the polarization is too
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: great now as we go into the midterms and then
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: the election for 2028.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: More people have died because of sanctuary cities than lives,
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: than cases that have been solved. That was always a
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: BS reason from the very beginning. It was incredibly political.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: It was anti-Trump years ago. It's anti-Trump now. It's anti-strong
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: immigration policy. And it should be changed because there's no
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: legitimate reason for it. And people are dying.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Well, you have to mobilize the citizens. And right now,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: I don't see that happening before the midterms and maybe
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: not even before 2028. But it will continue to be
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: an issue. Up next, the jurors came forward. Remember, as
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: I had said, jurors will come forward. But first, the
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: news at 7. Well, now the.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Jurors are speaking out from the Lindsay Clancy case. And
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: as we are going back and forth, figuring out what
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: the jurors were going to try to do and what
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: they were thinking and why there was a mistrial, it's
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: clear now that 11, including all of the women on
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: the jury, I believe there was eight or nine, wasn't it?
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Nine.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Nine of them.
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: All of the women on the jury wanted not guilty.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: And there was one holdout, as we had heard all along,
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: we just didn't know what the holdout was, but now
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: it's clear. And we have heard from the foreperson, it
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: was a woman, the foreperson saying that it was a
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: certain point when he admitted that there was reasonable doubt.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: And she thought, oh, that's it. We have a verdict.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: He admitted he had reasonable doubt.
• 36:33
  Speaker 10: And I started filling out the forms.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: I was so excited.
• 36:37
  Speaker 20: I actually, there were three forms I had to fill out.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: And I started filling them out.
• 36:42
  Speaker 10: I wrote my signature on each one.
• 36:44
  Speaker 18: And then he said, but I'm still not going to
• 36:48
  Speaker 18: say that she's not guilty by reason of insanity.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: And that's when they sent the note to the judge saying, listen,
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: we have somebody that's not obeying the law, not obeying
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: your instructions. And he called all the jurors in and
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: talked to them, including this one gentleman who was holding out,
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: and thank God for him. Three of the jurors have
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: come out now to talk. There may be a fourth,
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: because I just saw that somebody was on Boston Radio
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: this morning, and I think it might be the guy,
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: so we should probably look for that as well. But
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: when you hear these jurors, these women... Well, listen to
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: this and you see if you took away from this
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: what I took away.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: We read to him on numerous occasions the definition of
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: a reasonable doubt from Judge Sullivan's instruction. He actually said
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: one day in the end, well, why don't we have
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: the judge come in and read it again? And we
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: were like, no, we have it in front of us.
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: We don't need that. And we would highlight it. And,
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: you know, so-and-so, this is the definition of reasonable. But
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: he had the hardest time getting off the fact that
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: Lindsay viciously killed her children.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable. Did you hear that at the end? He had
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: the hardest time getting off the fact that she killed
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: her own children, that she killed the three children. That's
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: a hard fact to get over.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you would never have been chosen for the jury, Larry.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: You would have been recused from day one.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, you're right.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: So you have all these jurors, 11, two men, the
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: rest women, who came to the same conclusion based on
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: all the witnesses and the evidence. She also said that
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: she felt that the prosecutor showed no sympathy towards the
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: mother at all and that her attorney did a much,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: much better job in bonding himself with the jury, showing sensitivity, empathy,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: acknowledging wrong, but also guiding them in the direction of
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: what he hoped his client would end up with. That
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: was Reddington. They said he was entertaining, at times arrogant, compassionate,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: and funny, whereas the prosecutor just showed no empathy, no sympathy,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: and that was a woman prosecutor. We're completely screwed. Our
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: judicial system, there's a big problem with it. Because everything
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: you just said, everything you just said doesn't include the children.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: And everything that was presented didn't include the children. The
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: fact that this one woman complains that, boy, that guy
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: just couldn't get over the three kids that died.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: We have to get over that. You got to get
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: over that hump. Man, it's disgusting. There's something really disgusting
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: about this. And I will say that the Reddington, the
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: defense attorney, has an answer to me and others that
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: believe as I do.
• 39:45
  Speaker 21: Oh, please, it's not evil. These people don't understand. They
• 39:49
  Speaker 21: don't know what she went through. They didn't see her
• 39:52
  Speaker 21: text messages. They didn't see her journal. They didn't see
• 39:54
  Speaker 21: the notes that she wrote. They didn't see the text
• 39:56
  Speaker 21: she sent her mother in October saying, Mommy, can you
• 39:59
  Speaker 21: please come to here?
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: I am sick. Something's wrong. Well, there's something wrong with us,
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: not with the people that can't find someone who killed
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: three children guilty. That's the problem. That's the problem. Let's
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: just let them off. You know, they had another one
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: since then. Someone else killed a child, killed a child,
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: and now is claiming the same thing. I mean, now
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: it's going to be across the country. Everybody that kills
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: a child can just say that they have psychological disorder
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: and they get to walk the streets again. I mean,
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: it is insane that we're not only and purely talking
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: about the three kids. Also, Reddington is, you know, as
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: we were talking about a second ago, has asked for
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: a pardon from the president. President can't pardon this crime. Correct.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: State crime, not a federal crime. But now it looks
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: like he'll probably want to begin plea negotiations with the D.A.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: who did not prosecute the case. That's Tim Cruz. He
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: had his assistant D.A. prosecuted. But the jurors also said
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: that they heard from a wide variety of witnesses. There
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: certainly were plenty of witnesses, plenty of exhibitions that were
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: put in front of them. But they said they had
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: no character witnesses saying Lindsay was a bad mom. So
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: if you're a member of the jury and so many
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: people come to the same conclusion, Larry, and these are
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: not dullards, they're well-spoken. I mean, this is what our
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: system is. The jury made the decision and obviously had
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: the one holdout who had his doubts. And now the
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: process continues. So if it's a good.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: Person, there's no one that said she wasn't a good person.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: If it's a good person... that kills their three kids,
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: we should say, Oh, it's a good person. She's a
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: good person. And so that that's okay. Or should we
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: just say all the time, what was the drugs that
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: made her do it? It was the drugs that made
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: her do it. And, and so she killed three kids
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: too bad.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: No, I understand that your opinion, Larry, but the whole
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: world had a chance to watch this trial. And apparently
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: there were a lot of people came to a different conclusion.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: Um, I go with the jury decision.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: Jury made a decision.
• 42:16
  Speaker 22: Wow.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: I had to live with a jury.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: The jury didn't make a decision. It was hung.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: I lived with a jury that by 11-1 allowed John
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: Gotti Jr. to get off the hook for trying to
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: kill me and kidnap me, and I had to live
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: with it.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: And they were wrong. You can say they were wrong, right?
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: That was our system. But you can say they were wrong.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: In my eyes, yes, they're wrong.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: But they're not wrong.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: One holdout juror.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: But they're not wrong here.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: You didn't say that wrong, Larry.
• 42:41
  Speaker 23: But you're acting as if you're judge, jury, and executioner here.
• 42:45
  Speaker 23: And there's a whole world of other persons out there,
• 42:48
  Speaker 23: especially women, who've had all kinds of circumstances, who are
• 42:52
  Speaker 23: somewhat sympathetic and empathetic to what women go through.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: We're screwed. You can kill three kids now. That's okay.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: You can do that now. And because you're going to
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: get a sympathetic jury that's going to go, oh, that's
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: a shame. She went through postpartum problems. By the way,
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: she was never diagnosed with any of that. That was
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: entered into. She went to doctor after doctor after doctor.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: She never got diagnosed. Remember they kept saying she had
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: postpartum psychosis? Never got that diagnosis. I guess that should
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: be ignored, too.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Well, Dr. Phil, I think his credentials in this field
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: are a lot better than yours, right?
• 43:29
  Speaker 14: Dr.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: Phil?
• 43:30
  Speaker 9: Well.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: Is his credentials better than yours?
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: Because I have none, yes. Anybody would be, even a quack.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: He said that there's no doubt she went through postpartum
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: psychosis and that that can happen on a spur of
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: the moment and is different than postpartum depression.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, we should ask Dr.
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: Oz.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: Who are the other TV doctors we should check in with?
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: Well, they were all Oprah's doctors, and now they're no
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: longer Oprah's friends. But there's a diversity of opinion on this,
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: and it tends to be men. side against the decision
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: of the jury, and women tend to be more empathetic
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: and sympathetic to the decision of the jury.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: I'm not siding with or without the jury. I am
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: siding with the three children. I'm siding with the victims.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: And she is not a victim. She isn't. No matter
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: how you spin it, she's not a victim. She's a killer.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: She's not a murderer, according to 11 people on a jury.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: Thank God for the one holdout. But I do hope
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: they don't. I'm sure they're going to. They're not going
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: to want to spend money on this case again. They're
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: going to come up with some type of plea and
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: some settlement between the two of them, and they're going
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: to be working on that. But I wish you'd at
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: least try it again, because I'd like to have more
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: faith in humankind.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: But so if the decision is 11-1, and it's obvious
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: that you're going to have a mixed jury the next
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: time you pick a jury— You'd want them to go
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: for a complete conviction on a criminal charge and not
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: guilty by reason of insanity.
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: Something in the middle. I don't think she should have
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: life without parole. But yes, something in the middle would
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: would suit me. Second degree would suit.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: Well, I have a feeling the D.A. Tim Cruz, who's
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: a Republican, by the way, is not going to go
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: that route, that they'll figure out some kind of plea deal.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: And I think because of her physical condition, she'll end
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: up in a psychiatric facility probably for the rest of
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: her natural life.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: Well, maybe. I mean, there's so many that are let
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: out even though they are supposed to be put away
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: for a long time. So who knows when she's going
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: to be out? I mean, maybe they're going to get
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: some doctors just like this jury that feel bad for
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: her and they're going to let her walk out. Maybe
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: she'll have kids again. Maybe she'll kill them. I'm completely
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: disgusted with all of this. I am. And I can't
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: believe all the discussions I hear. Nobody talks about the
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: three kids. Even that jury discounted them.
• 46:01
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: Because she killed three kids?
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: You would acknowledge there's a very noticeable gender divide on this.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, from this jury there is. I mean, if I
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: talk to my wife, she wants her put away for good.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: She wants her put to death.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: Right, I understand. And they're going to be men or
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: women who obviously have different points of view. But just
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: based on a wide number of people I've talked to,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: it seems men lock her up, throw away the key. Women,
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: more sympathetic and empathetic.
• 46:30
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: And less likely to want to lock her up.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: On this jury, that was certainly true. I'd love to
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: hear what people have to say on that. Go ahead
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: and leave us a. Leave us a talkback. Go to
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app. Go to the talkback section. Hit the
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: red microphone and record what you want to say. We'll
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: play it next. How do you feel about it? When
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: we come back, a very, very popular place to go, Hershey, Pennsylvania,
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: is closing one of its, well, I won't say best rides,
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: but one of its most well-known rides. We'll talk about
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: that coming back. Plus a chance to see Andrea Bocelli
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: at 825. Now, I told you the story a couple
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: of times, and I'm going to keep telling it because
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: it is just amazing. It is amazing that a small
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: town in California requires life vacs in every patrol car,
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: and we don't here. Most places on the East Coast don't.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: It's all in California, and it's all on the West Coast.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: Every patrol car should have a life vac, and here's
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: the reason. A three-year-old boy was choking. And what happened?
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: Patrol showed up. They had the life vac. They saved
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: his life. He would have died in the backseat of
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: his car at three years old if the patrolman didn't
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: have a life vac. Life vac has saved over 6,000
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: lives worldwide. And in case you don't know what LifeVac
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: is by now, LifeVac is the first and only FDA-authorized
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: suction anti-choking device to be used for second-line treatment when
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: recommended choking procedures have been followed without success. This little
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: boy's parents tried everything. They tried patting him on the back.
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: They tried the Heimlich. He was choking on his own vomit,
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: and there was nothing they could do. But LifeVac sucked
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: it all right out of him. 6,000 lives worldwide, and
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: we just have another one out in California. These are
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: real people that get a second chance, real families that
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: get to live on. Preparedness matters. Having the right tool
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: nearby can make all the difference. Learn more about LifeVac
• 48:44

• 48:54
  Speaker 2: I've been to Hershey a lot of times and I've
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: been to Hershey park and been on the rides. I
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: don't remember this ride, Natalie, for the life of me,
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: the one that they're closing down. Have you been on
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: this ride?
• 49:09
  Speaker 10: I haven't. I haven't been on it, but I just
• 49:12
  Speaker 10: watched it again.
• 49:13
  Speaker 6: And I absolutely remember it because there is an area
• 49:17
  Speaker 6: that you can stand. There's a bridge and, there's a
• 49:20
  Speaker 6: walkway and you can just stand there and you wait
• 49:23
  Speaker 6: for it to come down. And this tidal wave comes
• 49:26
  Speaker 6: up and you get wet without even having to be
• 49:29
  Speaker 6: on the ride. So I remember just standing there waiting, waiting,
• 49:34
  Speaker 6: waiting because my son wanted to get drenched when he
• 49:36
  Speaker 6: was like a little kid.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: Apparently, it's their big attraction. How did I never... My
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: parents kept me away from that.
• 49:42
  Speaker 10: Well, maybe you didn't go in that area.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a 100-foot drop. Yeah, it's huge. 100-foot drop. Now,
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: they got 15 roller coasters.
• 49:50
  Speaker 10: Yeah, no, they're good roller coasters.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: I've been on the roller coasters.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: Right, so this particular one, they're taking on a circulation.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: It doesn't mean the park is closing down.
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: No.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: They have a big movie coming out about their finder,
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving Day weekend, which is a great family story.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: And it is an amusement park like no others. There's
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: no doubt about it.
• 50:13
  Speaker 24: I just got a text from Jimmy. This ride turns
• 50:19
  Speaker 24: into a wet T-shirt contest. Nobody wants to admit it,
• 50:23
  Speaker 24: but that's why it's famous with dads.
• 50:25
  Speaker 15: Thank you, Jimmy.
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: Would you ask Jimmy if they have his picture up
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: if he's banned from Hershey? Because that's a perverted thing
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: to say.
• 50:39
  Speaker 24: Now I'm really rethinking why my 10-year-old wanted.
• 50:43
  Speaker 10: To stand there.
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, boy.
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I never went. But it's closing down now.
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: And apparently it made national news because it's that popular
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: of a ride.
• 50:56
  Speaker 10: Now we know why.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now I never knew. I was kept from a
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: lot of things in my life. Man, anyway, so if
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: you go to Hershey Park, you're not going to be
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: able to do the 100-foot drop.
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: The title force. The title force ride is being taken
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: out of circulation.
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: Let's get to some talkbacks. We've been talking about the jury,
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: and we have a disparity of opinions, we should say,
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: on the jury, but here are some talkbacks.
• 51:28
  Speaker 22: The Rogue 11 in the Clancy trial had an agenda
• 51:33
  Speaker 22: all along.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: That can't be denied. They had an agenda all along.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: You have to go through a voir dire, a jury.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: They question you extensively. You listen... Then all of a
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: sudden you decide to deliberate. So I guess this guy
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: is saying before they even got on the jury, they
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: had come to a preemptive decision on this case.
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: No.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: All 11 of them met somewhere, I guess. No. Yeah,
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure the 11 were rogue in the death.
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: Maybe you meant another word. I just want to know
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: why the husband wasn't charged with anything. He obviously... knew
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: something was wrong with her. He could have protected those kids.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: There is a prevailing point of view that the husband,
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: who was the first witness, and maybe the worst witness
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: of the prosecution, I think if they had to do
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: it all over again, they would not have put the
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: husband out there. Because if you had no sympathy or
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: empathy for her before, this guy was like a first-class jerk.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: When he was giving his testimony and he seemed very cold,
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: very insulated from what had gone on. A lot of
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: people look our own Natalie Migliore felt this way as
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: others like this guy really skated on this.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: I guess women can't commit crimes because it had to
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: be the husband. It had to be anything else but
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: exactly who is already admitted to the crime.
• 53:07
  Speaker 10: Larry, I'm with you.
• 53:08
  Speaker 25: I'm with the three innocent babies that were killed. That's
• 53:12
  Speaker 25: who I'm standing behind. And, you know, it's funny. This weekend,
• 53:17
  Speaker 25: my daughter-in-law was with us. She's a labor and delivery nurse.
• 53:20
  Speaker 25: And she was telling us that most of the doctors
• 53:24
  Speaker 25: in her area were all siding with her.
• 53:30
  Speaker 15: I couldn't believe it.
• 53:31
  Speaker 25: They're blaming the husband. They said the husband did it.
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: I don't get it.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: See that? Again, Natalie Migliore, who brought that to our attention,
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of people who hate that husband, who, again,
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: surfaced over the weekend for a photo opportunity somewhere in Manhattan.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: You got to ask yourself, how did you get involved
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: in a photo opportunity with paparazzi?
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I guess I just like to focus on
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: the person that killed three kids. Now let's get to
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: Daria Albinger with the 730 News.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: Morning, guys.
• 54:02
  Speaker 15: It's going to be warmer and more humid today. We'll
• 54:04
  Speaker 15: see a high of 84 degrees. Kids in New York
• 54:07
  Speaker 15: City will head back to school tomorrow, but some may
• 54:09
  Speaker 15: not have buses to ride.
• 54:11
  Speaker 26: A spokesperson for the city's public school system claims that
• 54:13
  Speaker 26: a majority of students will have a proper route by
• 54:16
  Speaker 26: the first day of class, but thousands, including disabled students,
• 54:19
  Speaker 26: may be impacted. This follows tension between the city's Panel
• 54:23
  Speaker 26: for Educational Policy and bus vendors after the panel refused
• 54:27
  Speaker 26: to sign off on a five-year contract extension last year.
• 54:30
  Speaker 26: There is a plan to provide prepaid rideshare options for
• 54:33
  Speaker 26: any students without a bus route. However, some parents point
• 54:37
  Speaker 26: out that alternative does not work for every student as
• 54:40
  Speaker 26: some require one-on-one care from an aide. I'm Lizzie Radabali,
• 54:44
  Speaker 26: WOR News.
• 54:44

• 55:05
  Speaker 27: into a nearby waterway for an unknown amount of time.
• 55:08
  Speaker 27: The New York Department of Environmental Conservation is investigating. There's
• 55:12
  Speaker 27: been no comment from the restaurant. A Parks Department spokesperson
• 55:15
  Speaker 27: says the restaurant does remain open and is following recommendations
• 55:18
  Speaker 27: from the DEC. I'm Scott Pringle, WOR News.
• 55:22
  Speaker 15: A change at airports after the 9-11 attacks may be
• 55:25
  Speaker 15: being phased out. The TSA is now allowing non-ticketed visitors
• 55:29
  Speaker 15: at the gates at several U.S.
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: Airports.
• 55:31
  Speaker 15: None here in the area, though.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: At least not yet.
• 55:34
  Speaker 15: You will need to have pre-check or known traveler numbers,
• 55:37
  Speaker 15: and you'll also need to apply for a pass on
• 55:39
  Speaker 15: the TSA website up to three days in advance. American

• 55:51
  Speaker 15: That match was five sets, and it took more than
• 55:53
  Speaker 15: four and a half hours to complete. New England and

  Speaker 1: Up next, good news for Bruce Blakeman and his run
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: against Hochul. A four-point differential in a McLaughlin poll will
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: bounce it off Rob Astorino up next. But this is
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: taken from the crime blotter. Dateline, Batavia, Illinois. It's 2.40
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: in the morning. A woman sees a flashlight and a
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: shadow outside her window. Police say the man in her
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: backyard was a registered sex offender. A military court convicted
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: him in 2024. He'd taken a sailor's key card, let
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: himself into her bedroom, and watched her sleep. He never
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: met the woman in Batavia. He saw her on social media,
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: researched her, and found her home address. Researched. Let me
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: translate that word. A people search site will sell a
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: report on you for about two bucks. That includes home address, phone, relatives,
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: everywhere you lived, where you bank. where you do your financing,

• 57:52
  Speaker 1: former Westchester County executive, and heard here on WOR 4
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: to 5 on Saturday. Rob, Bruce Blakeman has been creeping
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: up in the polls. He was 20 points behind. Then
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: a Siena poll had him 10 points behind. A McLaughlin
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: poll that just came out yesterday has him four points behind.
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: And there's only two vulnerable areas. It said 30% of
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: the sample didn't know who Bruce Blakeman was. and obviously
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: not doing well in the city. If you were his
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: political consigliere with less than two months to go before
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: election day, how would you get him to address those
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: two weak spots?
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't think 30% unknown is a weak spot
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: right now going into Labor Day as the Republican in
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: New York. That means you can define yourself still. That
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: means Kathy Hochul has not buried him with all her money.
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: She still has not negatively buried him. So that's good, actually.
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: And to be within four or five points at this.
• 58:52
  Speaker 14: Oh, my God.
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 58:53
  Speaker 14: I would have given.
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: My kids up at this point to start Labor Day
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: at four down.
• 59:01
  Speaker 14: Are you kidding me?
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: So he's in a– look, even if it's ten down,
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: he's in a great spot in New York. And the city, look,
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: you got to scratch to 30, 35% in New York
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: City as a Republican to win statewide, or you have
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: to have higher numbers in the suburbs or upstate. And
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: that's quite possible in this kind of year as well.
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, just look at the Jewish vote. That You know,
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: you would always kind of write off to some extent
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: other than the Jewish bloc vote. But that's also possible
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: coming in in the Republican way with everything going on
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: by the Democrats. So I think there's a lot of
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: different areas he can pick apart enough to to get
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: to 50 percent. And she's not at 50 percent in
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: these polls. I mean, that's the biggest red flag. If
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: you're an incumbent, everyone knows you and not enough people
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: are liking you right now. That's a real big problem
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: for an incumbent.
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: Hey, Rob, I want to talk to you about the
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: release of the 9-11 air quality papers yesterday. I got
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: pretty upset with it and angry about it because I
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: know so many people that died that were on at 9-11.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: I used to travel down to Washington with them. The
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: fact that these have been hidden for so long by
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: so many different administrations and so many different people There
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: has to be, doesn't there, a further investigation of this?
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: I hope the feds get involved because they hid the
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: fact that that heir was killing people and killed people
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: for years. 9,000 have died. There has to be more
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: than just that news conference.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not only that, Larry, but the federal government,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: you know, you have families suing the federal government and
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: winning in federal court. by exposing the Saudi government and
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: their role in it and the federal the U.S. government's
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: knowledge of that I mean there's a lot about 9-11
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: that we haven't been told and aside from what happened
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: that day and you know using as a pretext to
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: you know to go into Iraq and and do what
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: we did which is you know that's a total separate
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: issue but I think The United States government and obviously
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: now our city government and state government, I'm sure, had knowledge, too,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: on the air quality. These are things that everyone has
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: an absolute right to know. Why did they set up
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: the 9-11 fund with so many people dying and being
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: diagnosed with basically 9-11 illnesses? You know, I obviously knew
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: the air quality was bad and and they kept it quiet.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's the sin of government.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: Now, Rob Bastarino, we've never before had a midterm convention
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: of any type, any party. But the president, Donald Trump,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: has called for it. It begins today in Dallas. It'll
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: take place today and tomorrow. What is the messaging you
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: would like to see come out of this? Because it's
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: less than two months to go. Mail-in ballots are already
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: being sent out. Before you know it, it's early voting.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 28: I don't want anything to talk about like Canada or
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 28: Iceland or renaming New Mexico or, you know, the silly stuff.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: It has to focus on what the president and the
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: party has done, what the big, big, beautiful bill has
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: actually meant for working people. I mean, the economy is
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: doing pretty darn well when you look at it with,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: With few exceptions, that can actually and hopefully do change,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: although we're running out of time. It's, you know, the
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: gas prices and the grocery prices that stick in everyone's crock.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: But the value of people's homes and their stocks and
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: their pension fund and 401ks, any investment has gone through
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: the roof. Wages are up, unemployment's down. I mean, there's
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: a lot of good stories. They need to start telling this.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: At the same time, the contrast between what life was
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: like and what it will be, the chaos of Biden
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: will come with this really, I mean, this next brand of, quote, Democrats,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: if they take over the frightening stuff on their agenda.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: I think it's going to come down, honestly, I think
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: rural America is going to make or break this campaign.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 14: I'll tell you why.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: You know, that's part of the Republican Party. And if
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 3: they are kind of dejected right now, you know, the
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: farmers and the small business owners, And they kind of
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: stay home.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 14: That's it.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 21: We're done.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: If they come out in full force, and I think
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: that's the reason why Trump is really appealing and why
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: this convention is happening, to remind them, get out.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 13: Okay, get out.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: This might be temporary, but long-term change for the worse
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: is coming if you don't get out.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: But he's also kind of making it all about him,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: which the Democrats are going to look at that and say,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: please keep making it about you.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: And Republican candidates are going to look like, no, no,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: he didn't say that. He didn't say that. I remember
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: when I was in office, I still remember every day
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: we would get a call from the media or a
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: microphone in my mouth about Donald Trump answering something Donald
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 3: Trump said. And it really does cloud everything you do
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: or want to get out. And I think, you know,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: senators and those running and members of the House and
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: those running, they need breathing space here.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 14: That's just typical.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: It's not against Trump because Trump can pull out the
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: base and this is going to be a base vote.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 21: So they do need his help.

  Speaker 9: Now, it's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: As Natalie continues in the 9-11 commemoration this week, what
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: did you focus on this morning?
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 29: Really, nearly 25 years later, New York City's finally releasing
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 29: these air quality records that were in lower Manhattan following
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 29: the September 11th attacks and more than 170,000 pages released,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 29: including internal memos raising concerns about the air quality. And
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 29: the initial consensus is that New Yorkers were misled. And
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 29: it really all comes as the attacks that killed more
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 29: than 3,000 people on September 11th, 2001 or nearly. have
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 29: now led to the deaths of more than 6,000 people
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 29: due to 9-11-related illnesses. Now, Frank McCartan, affectionately known as Cookie,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 29: was on the pile, and he was deputy commissioner of
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 29: New York City emergency management at the time of the attacks.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 30: I could give you a list of people that have died.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 30: This is a day that keeps on killing. This is
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 30: a day that keeps on killing, and we have to
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 30: realize that. And you have to get checked out. You
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 30: have to go. It took me a long time. My
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 30: friends used to say, why did you do it? And
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 30: then I had to have something happen to me. And
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 30: then I end up under surgery. And luckily enough, everything's fine.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 30: But you have to do this. You have to go
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 30: get checked out. Don't be scared.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: Just do it.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 30: And it's the health of the people. And listen, the
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 30: mental health, right? You know, when you get closer this day,
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 30: I get a little more, you know, it's coming, right?
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 30: And then when it finishes, you know, I'm a little more.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 14: At ease, right?
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 29: Yeah, it's not just the health effects of all those
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 29: years ago, but those mental health effects, the memories that
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 29: people have. Now, officials say the new documents may have
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 29: information to help those with 9-11-related illnesses. A former longtime
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 29: New York City reporter, Peter Haskell, who was at Ground Zero,
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 29: is so dedicated to the cause. He works with Tunnel
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 29: to Towers Foundation, and he made sure his last story
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 29: on radio was was related to 9-11 health.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 19: People are still suffering today. People who tried to do
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 19: the right thing to help their city, to help their country,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 19: were sickened. Those people cannot be forgotten. They need to
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 19: be helped. They need to be treated. And these programs
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 19: need to be kept alive. And they're funded, but they
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 19: need to have bodies filling those spots in these various programs,
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 19: especially the World Trade Center health program.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 29: And the World Trade Center Health Program officially recognizes over
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 29: 70 types of cancers linked to the toxins following Ground Zero.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 29: New data from Northwell Health shows cancer cases have already
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 29: jumped 75% from 2023 to 2024 in connection to this.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 14: So really.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 29: These are real snippets of interviews, way longer interviews that
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 29: I've had with these gentlemen who were there that day,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 29: who were there in the months following the 9-11 attacks.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 29: And it's just really something they've watched their friends die,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 29: not just on that day, but in years to come.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: The one gentleman said that he had some illness. Did
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: everybody that you talked to, did anyone else talk about
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: having any 9-11 related illness?
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 10: And yes, in a sense, a lot of people do.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 29: Even another reporter who I talked to has 9-11 related illnesses.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 10: So a lot of people, they have that.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. And they're still dying.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 10: Yes, of course.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 14: Yes.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: Natalie Migliore is going to be back tomorrow morning with
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: another 9-11 report at 7.50. We're going to continue the
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: coverage of the air quality on 9-11 and the fact
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: that the city covered it up. Shame on them. That's
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: coming up after the 8 o'clock news. It is, in
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: my opinion, the best thing that Zorah Mamdani has ever done.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: He finally, after all these years, after more than two decades,
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: released the 9-11 air quality papers. Over 160,000 of them,
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: and there may be more. They're all going to be
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: posted for everyone to see. And he described yesterday what's
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: in those documents.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 31: These are documents that show what the city knew about
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 31: the toxic air around Ground Zero, when they knew it,
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 31: and how they acted to limit liability. They contain details
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 31: about DEP's response. They show how asbestos was found nearly
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 31: everywhere that inspectors tested. And they will help New Yorkers
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 31: access the health care they need.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: What they did to limit liability, they hid it. We
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: haven't been able to see it for over two decades.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: And it shows that nobody should have been on that pile.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: Nobody should have been working. They should have cleared the
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: area or at least given them enough gear so they
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: could deal with what was in the air. And instead,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: 9,000 people died. Also there yesterday with Mamdani was Jon Stewart,
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: who has been a brilliant advocate for the 9-11 compensation fund.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: There was poison.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 5: In the air and on the ground and in the
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 5: windowsills and in your air conditioners and covering your pets
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 5: and your clothes.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: And it stayed there for months. And everyone knew. Everyone knew.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: And everything that he just mentioned could make you sick
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: and even make you die. 9,000 people have been killed.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: This was a mass killing by keeping that information away
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: from people. And it has to be further investigated.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 5: The city began covering their ass three weeks in, in
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 5: a memo. The memo is entitled Legislative Alternatives to the
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 5: Fiscal Responsibility for 9-11.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: These people had to fight, sick and dying, for years.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: So you have a crime that is obvious. You have motivation,
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: which Jon Stewart just mentioned, hiding from liability. And you
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: have evidence. boxes and boxes of evidence that they tried
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: to hide would hide, which is also a crime. Hiding
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: evidence is also a crime. So there's, there's gotta be
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: hearings on this. There's gotta be charges brought. This cannot
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: go away with one news conference. There has to be
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: a clarion call to hold the people that hid those
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: documents responsible.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: And we saw that Christine Todd Whitman, who, um, after
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: leaving the governorship of New Jersey, became the EPA chieftess.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: And she had issued a federal study that said the
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: air was safe enough for people to continue to live
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: in the area, go to school in the area, work
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: in the area, and most importantly, work on the pile.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: Because that work continued nonstop around the clock. A year later,
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: if you went down to the area, you could still
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: smell the smell of death. It was like the world's
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: largest crematorium, but there were all the other toxins, smells
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: mixed in that obviously your nose could not identify. But
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: one of the more serious issues was the asbestos. And
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: that was found in so many different parts. So the
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: question is, who knew it? When did you know it?
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: And what did you intend to do about it? And
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: in a buildup to this 25th anniversary where people were saying, well,
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't show up. You shouldn't show up. You shouldn't
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: show up. This all of a sudden brings us to
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: a grinding halt because to me, this is the most
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: important thing. Forget about Zoran showing up or not showing up.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: He's going to be there. is that who should be
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: held culpable for this? Because I think, Larry, you said
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: it best. You were embedded with the men and the
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: families who were going down to D.C. time and time
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: again to try to get some relief, try to get
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: acknowledgement instead of how some elected officials, including Bloomberg initially,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: who thought that people were trying to rip off the fund,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: you know, through doctors or therapists and We were watching,
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: at least I was, on film watching some of these
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: valiant men die before us. You could just see, like,
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: my God, I've never seen anybody that ill before. And
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: there were dozens. And they continue to die.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 14: Dozens.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: There's thousands. Right. There's thousands.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: They continue to die. And people are going to have
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: to give answers. Right now, there's a Department of Investigation
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: investigation going on. Remember, these 170,000 sheets... Pages that were
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: released and are being put in a portal for everyone
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: to read. It's just the beginning. It's almost like, remember
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: with the Epstein files, how they kept filing, filing, filing.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: There are going to be more pages filed, and everybody
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: has a right to know.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: You're saying it's just the beginning, and I get that.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: You mean the papers that are going, that are happening.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: I hope it's just the beginning of something bigger than
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: just more papers coming out. I hope it's the beginning
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: of a huge investigation into who knew what and when
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: and who hid this material because all of that is
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: a crime. And so I don't want to just keep
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: talking about the papers and I don't want to talk
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: about the air quality, which is extremely important. I want
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: to talk about the people that died and the people
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: that got sick and who was culpable in that. Who
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: didn't warn them when they knew that the air was bad?
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: I want to know who those people are, and then
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: I want them in cuffs, because that was criminal. For
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: them to hide that information for this long, where people
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: are dying still from this, is criminal. And I'm not
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: hearing a lot of people saying that. I'm not hearing
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: anybody saying, look, this was a crime that was committed.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: Where's the outrage? Why aren't people just now demanding? Where's
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: the U.S. attorney in all of this? Where's litigation? Where's anything?
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: There has to be. I know I realize it's the
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: day after and maybe that's it, but I expected more.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: I expected a real outrage today and a call to action.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: Well, I think the reason you don't have that is
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: it came so fast. It took everybody by shock. Because
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: let's face it, the person probably most culpable in this
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: is America's Mayor Rudy Giuliani and his staff, his deputy
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: mayors and those who were closest to him at the
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: time where this catastrophe had taken place. And he so
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: valiantly led us afterwards. It's kind of hard to say
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: Rudy would know and then wouldn't have said anything and
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: would have said to people, as his administration said, it's
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: OK to go back in there. It's okay to work. Remember,
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: we're talking more than just the people who went on
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: the pile and the valiant men who removed the debris.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: We're talking about people who were told to go back
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: and live in the area, go to school in the area,
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: including people who had all kinds of medical problems to
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: begin with. That just probably exacerbated it, including people at
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: City Hall. I remember going to City Hall. It's just
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: a few blocks away. And people were there working and
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: what probably should have taken place. is people should have
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: been banned from a particular area until the toxins could
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: be removed. I know it's easy to say that now
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: as a Monday morning quarterback. But they certainly didn't have
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: the equipment. And I know some will say, but the
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: men didn't want the equipment. They were going to go
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: into the pile. You couldn't hold them back because of
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: their colleagues, because they felt that they had to go
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: in there and they had to see if anyone was
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: still alive.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: Give them equipment. Give them something to cover their faces.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: Give them something to breathe through. No doubt.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, if they had known, would they have gone
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: in there? without a mask? You saw them all. Very
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: few of them had masks on because they were told
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: it was okay.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: They were lied to. People knew and they held back
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: the information and people died. That's a crime.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: The other thing that I'd like a little focus on,
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: it was brought to our attention by Jimmy Fallon. I
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: think it was either his brother or his brother-in-law, police
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: officer at the time, who was assigned to the pile
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: at the Staten Island dump. That's where all the particuli
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: were taken. So those men and women were subject to
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: the same toxins. It was horrible. I went there twice.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. It was like right out of
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: apocalypse now. Many of them have since gotten sick. Since
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: died and there needs to be an investigation of what
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: was known there because you actually had a morgue that
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: was set up. You had men and women on their
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: hands and knees with little rakes and hazmat suits going
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: through all the debris to try to find anything that
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: would indicate that this person. This DNA of a person
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: was there. So there's a lot to cover. And you're right.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: It needs a full scale examination.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: Because the evidence is already there. I mean, there doesn't
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: have to be much of an investigation. Just read their
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: own words. And then you have them. And then there
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: should be prosecution.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: Well, up next, the guy and his partner who actually
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: duct taped that maniac on that flight in first class.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: Duct tape from the tip of his nose to the
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: tip of his toes. We'll be talking to him. He's
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: from New Jersey. Plus a chance to see Andrea Bocelli.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: but from the front pages of the headlines. This happens
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: almost everywhere, every day, and every time zone. Dateline, Batavia, Illinois.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: It's 2.40 in the morning. A woman sees a flashlight
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: and a shadow outside a window. Police say the man
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: in her backyard was a registered sex offender. A military
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: court had convicted him in 2024. He'd taken a sailor's
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: key card, let himself into her bedroom, and watched her sleep.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: He never met the woman in Batavia. He saw her
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: on social media, researched her and found her home address.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: That's right. Researched her. And it was easy. A people's

  Speaker 2: Well, we all know the story by now of the
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: unruly passenger on a flight to Newark that was so
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: unruly they had to duct tape him to his seat
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: and make an emergency landing in Baltimore. What you may
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 2: not know is that one of the hero passengers on
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: that flight is Richard Olenek, who was the owner of
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: Gun For Hire. the world's only family destination gun range,
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: gun store, and training academy. He's in Woodland Park, New Jersey. Richard,
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: thanks so much for joining us today. What an adventure
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: you had. Can you tell us what the passenger was
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: doing that made the other passengers take action?
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 14: Sure. Good morning. Good morning, Larry. Absolutely. So about two
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 14: hours into the flight from Dallas heading into Newark, we
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 14: started hearing, I was with my store sales manager, Juan,
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 14: and him and I started hearing one of the passengers
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 14: getting very loud and boisterous. They started, eventually he started
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 14: using profanity and he started just yelling out certain things,
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 14: homophobic and racial slurs. And it very quickly escalated from there.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: What exactly then did you take it upon yourself to do,
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: you and your partner?
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 14: Well, I think once it got to the point, initially
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 14: the flight attendants were trying to manage the situation. They
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 14: were trying to de-escalate, calm him down. They went to him.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 14: They said, hey, you can't yell. You can't scream. You
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 14: certainly can't use that language. So they tried to manage
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 14: it the best they could. And that's the way it
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 14: stayed for about 10 minutes in total. He kept going
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 14: back and forth, raising his voice. I think everybody in
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 14: the cabin realized that something was obviously wrong. Like nobody
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 14: does that. That was, that was very odd. But at
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 14: that moment, um, when all of a sudden the, the,
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 14: the gentleman turned around and put his hands, uh, on
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 14: the pastor next to him on his throat and started
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 14: actually strangling him. So we, you know, Juan and I immediately,
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 14: I heard, um, I heard the, the belt buckles unclip
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 14: and I'm like, okay, we're, you know, this, you know,
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 14: we're just going to go and, you know, we're going
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 14: to go and do this. We're going to get it done.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 14: And we got up right away, and we headed over
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 14: there and started trying to contain what was happening. Juan
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 14: immediately got there first. He started grabbing this gentleman's arm
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 14: to get his hand off the other passenger's neck, and
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 14: then he started to try to do the best he
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 14: could to contain him. I kind of slid in between
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 14: the passenger and the seat in front of him, and
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 14: I worked on trying to restrain his legs and continued
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 14: to restrain his his arms as well.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: Now, I understand that you and your partner were injured
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: in this whole thing.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 14: Well, actually, throughout the whole incident, the gentleman was actually
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 14: trying to bite us, and he was fighting us. He
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 14: was actively resisting throughout the entire time. And so, yeah,
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 14: and then we also... We also ended up with, with,
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 14: with blood on us. He had injured his arm. Um,
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 14: we believe he injured his arm before this all even
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 14: started when he was attacking the other passenger, he had
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 14: cut himself. So by the time we jumped in, he
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 14: was bleeding from that. And then he was, then when
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 14: we tried to restrain him, he was very upset about that.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 14: Obviously saying, you know, you know, get off of me,
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 14: get off of me. Why are you doing this? And he, he, uh,
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 14: was shouting some other obscenities, uh, throughout it as well. And, um, Uh, yeah. And,
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 14: and so we, um, but we, uh, we, we definitely
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 14: tried to, um, we tried to deescalate the situation and, uh,
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 14: we tried to bring it down and, um, but he
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 14: just wasn't, he just wasn't having that at that point.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: The photo we saw that's gone global is him duct taped, uh,
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: to the chair from like his ankles right to his head.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: Where did he get the duct tape and the ties?
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: Cause you use those ties to tie him down, right?
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 14: What, you don't bring duct tape and ties with you.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: On every flight? Just in case.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 14: Don't we all? I mean, I thought everybody did. That's standard.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: So where did it come from?
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 14: Well, it didn't fall out of the sky, that's for sure. No,
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 14: the flight attendants actually walked over and gave it to us. Initially,
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 14: they started with the tie cuffs, right? And they saw, obviously,
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 14: they were... So at the moment when it turned physical,
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 14: throughout the initial part of it, there were flight attendants nearby.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 14: They were addressing him. They were talking to him. But
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 14: at that very moment when it got physical, there were
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 14: no flight attendants around. So that's when we kind of,
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 14: like I said, we kind of just knew we were
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 14: going to get involved with this. We knew we had to.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 14: It had turned physical. Nobody was actually there at that
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 14: moment to sort of help this gentleman. And we decided
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 14: to get involved. So we start engaging with him. We
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 14: start trying to restrain him. And at that point, obviously,
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 14: the flight attendants came over. They saw what was going on.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 14: They kind of took a backseat a little bit because
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 14: we were engaging and we were trying to de-escalate and
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 14: restrain this gentleman. But that's when they started seeing that, okay,
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 14: this is not de-escalating. This is only continuing to get worse.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 14: So they came over with these zip cuffs on. And
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 14: then at which time Juan and I worked on getting
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 14: those cuffs on him. We got those cuffs on him.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 14: And believe it or not, at that point, we were
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 14: kind of hoping, well, OK, maybe this is it. Maybe
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 14: he'll calm down after. Well, that's not what happened. He
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 14: ended up just continuing to go full throttle. He was like, no,
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 14: I'm going to continue to restrain and continue to fight
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 14: and continue to bite. So that's how it came out. Yeah,
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 14: I know.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 2: Have you been treated for all these injuries and did
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 2: you get a rabies shot?
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 14: No, but I did ask. As soon as it ended,
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 14: I asked, does anyone have any baby wipes? And they
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 14: just were throwing baby wipes at me. And I was
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 14: kind of buried in baby wipes. So I'm like, so
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 14: thank you very much, everybody. I really appreciate that. But yeah,
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 14: there was blood. His blood was everywhere. It was really uncomfortable.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 14: That was probably more uncomfortable than the physical part. I
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 14: would have rather... you know, have a fist fight than
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 14: have someone's blood all over me. But there was nothing
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 14: we could do about it. So we just went with it,
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 14: you know, for the time being. And I just tried
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 14: to wipe down as quickly as I could right after.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: Well, you were one of the Plains heroes. And thanks
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 2: for spending time with us. Richard Olenek, owner of Gun

• 1:32:13
  Speaker 2: it's wonderful to be able to talk to you again.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 2: I wanted to get from you a quick reaction from
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 2: you about the 9-11 air quality documents finally being released
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 2: by the city.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 7: Good morning, Larry. Thank you for having me on. I,
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 7: you know, I'm not surprised by the report. We started
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 7: to do this podcast because we understood there were long-term
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 7: health implications for anyone who was downtown. A lot of
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 7: the stories we have in Aftermath are about families affected
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 7: by the, you know, aftermath of the air quality and
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 7: the toxins that were created by those buildings falling. That's
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 7: not the focus or the feature of our podcast, but
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 7: we're telling stories of, you know, first responder families that
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 7: were down there, community members that were down there, and
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 7: how the past 25 years have played out. So I'm
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 7: not surprised by the report. We're not in this for
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 7: political purposes, but I'm not surprised by the report.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: Well, Beth, I think it's important that this broadcast go
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: forward because with all the politics that has led up
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: to this 25th commemoration, who should show up, who should
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: not show up, what is said, what was not said,
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: I think the stories of the people involved have been
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: lost up until this point, and we're running out of time.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: The 25th commemoration is on Friday, so I salute you.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: What are some of those stories that our audience should
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: really be aware of?
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 7: Well, I think that the mental health toll on the
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 7: entire New York region has not been digested yet. We
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 7: have one episode talking about the mental health of first responders.
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 10: That is part.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 7: Of, I think, the craziness of what's going on now.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 7: It's just the vitriol. And I will say that my
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 7: father-in-law's way of operating was so steady and how do
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 7: you be of service? And he was not a political animal.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 7: He was a man who did the job and stayed
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 7: away from the spotlight. And his method of operating was
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 7: worthy of praise. studying because his leadership, the respect that
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 7: he had and the leadership that he presented to the
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 7: department that is iconic throughout the world is what we
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 7: wanted to share with people and not get into the
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 7: finger pointing and the politics.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we should point out that your father-in-law, Bill Feehan,
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: was the FDNY's first deputy commissioner and one of the
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 2: most recognizable leaders in the department. And it was Bill
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: that inspired the documentary, right, Chief?
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 7: Correct, correct. My husband had done an interview with a
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 7: good friend, Harvey Wang, when Chief Feehan was made deputy commissioner,
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 7: I believe. And that three-hour interview was the basis for
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 7: making Chief because I felt at the 20th anniversary, like
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 7: three years before the 20th anniversary, that his story needed
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 7: to be told. He was such an incredible icon for
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 7: leadership that that's how that movie came about.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: And what is the message that everybody should get out
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: of this commemoration? Because one-third, a full one-third of our
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: citizens were not born at the time of 9-11, and
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: I'm finding that many of these young men, young women
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: now were never taught about 9-11 in their school system
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: or whether it's parochial or public schools?
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 7: I would say that my takeaway is that anyone who
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 7: takes advantage of civil service workers and screams about the
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 7: taxes that they have to pay for fire and police
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 7: and public entities like schools is missing the absolute infrastructure
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 7: for a city like this. That is so vast and
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 7: so complex. And, you know, it's not a perfect beast
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 7: for sure. New York's got a lot of issues. But
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 7: considering how many people live here and work here and
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 7: the diversity that exists here, the civil service workers are
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 7: absolutely one of the most important entities to be funded
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 7: and to make sure that those who do those jobs
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 7: are paid back, you know, can live here. You know,
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 7: we have rules in New York that you have to
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 7: be living within certain boroughs and certain, you know, certain
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 7: regional areas in order to live here. But if it
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 7: is not able to be if it's too expensive to
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 7: live here, we're going to lose that workforce. So I
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 7: don't know. I think the takeaway is that civil service
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 7: and and our, you know, institutions, we need to support
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 7: them financially because they they were the ones who got
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 7: us through that day.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 2: I want to thank you, Beth, for what you do,
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 2: because a lot of people say never forget, and then
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 2: memories start to fade a little bit, and you and
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 2: your work make sure that doesn't happen. You've interviewed so
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 2: many people, I was going to say dozens, but it
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 2: might be hundreds at this point, that were there that day.
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 2: What is the common theme? Is there a common theme
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 2: among all the people that you talk to?
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 7: Well, because our podcast is FDNY birthed, you know, because
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 7: of the connection I have through my in-laws and my
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 7: father-in-law and my brother-in-laws and, you know, all the folks who,
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 7: that's where we started. It was a natural place to start.
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 7: There are so many more stories that could be told.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 7: I I believe that the thousands of stories we're seeing
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 7: right now on the 25th anniversary if anybody is on
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 7: social media on Instagram you can see that everyone is
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 7: focusing on this right now because it's a seminal date
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 7: 25 years is is just huge and We don't want
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 7: to forget the stories or the people because so many
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 7: lives were affected. So many lives beyond the first responders.
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 7: This entire region was affected. And as the country, as
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 7: the world, the world shifted on 9-11. And there are
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 7: still so many lessons to be learned from that. So
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 7: I think that's why we keep talking about it.
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 2: Well, amen to that. And you can listen to more
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 2: from Beth Fee, an executive producer of the award-winning documentary Chief.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 2: By the way, where can people see Chief?
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 7: Well, I just want to say humbly, it's not award-winning,
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 7: but thank you for that.
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 2: It should be.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 7: It is available on YouTube. Our YouTube page is Be
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 7: The Can Man Studio, and our Instagram page is Aftermath Stories.
• 1:39:35

• 1:39:46
  Speaker 7: We have former city agency employees and a CBS, Peter Haskell,
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 7: who was a former reporter, is interviewing Frank Cookie McCartin,
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 7: who has worked for several city agencies and was down
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 7: there on 9-11, met his wife, His wife was a
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 7: producer on Aftermath, met his wife because of 9-11, Ann McCartan.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 7: And Matt Higgins was a communications director for Giuliani's office
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 7: on 9-11. So they will talk about that day.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 14: All right.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 2: Thanks a lot, Beth.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: And the Aftermath.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: We'll be listening on Sunday at 9 a.m. Thank you
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 2: for talking to us today, Beth.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 7: Thanks for bringing me on.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: When we come back, I hope this isn't a continuous thing,
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 2: a midterm convention. It's a first, I think.
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: It's a first. Two days starting today and then tomorrow
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: for the Republicans down in Dallas. We'll break it down
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: for you. Wow. First ever midterm convention. Hosted by President
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump in Dallas, they expect thousands of GOP delegates
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: to go from all across the nation, including some of
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: the candidates who are running in the midterm elections. Some
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: have opted to stay home because they have to continue
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: to run every day is incumbent that they spend at
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 1: least 20 hours a day on the road. But we
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: will see. Trump will speak both nights.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 7: J.D.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 1: Vance, one of the nights. There'll be other speakers. What
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: the message will be, Larry, and I think Rob Astorino
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: stated what my concerns are. I don't want to lose
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 1: these midterm elections because it'll be horrible for the country.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: There'll be total chaos. There'll be impeachment. There'll be committee
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: hearings hosted by the majority Democrats in the House. And
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: nothing will happen. Nothing will happen. But the president leads
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: and the other GOP members follow. Hopefully he'll be very
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 1: disciplined with the message because the message he gets out
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: will be the message that the other candidates will be
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: running on the rest of the campaign.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 2: Rob brought up a great point, and it is that
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 2: the midterms are base elections. It's getting out your base.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 2: So a lot of people might look at this and say,
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 2: you know, Donald Trump right now with the war in Iran,
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 2: his popularity is down. Maybe he's not the best person
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 2: right now to be doing this. No, no, no, no, no.
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 2: Because he has 90 percent popularity among Republicans and getting
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 2: Republicans out to vote. is paramount in this election, and
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: he is probably the best one at doing it. So
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 2: good for him in coming up with this. We'll see
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 2: if it works. We'll see if they can stay on message.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 2: You brought up a great point about staying on message.
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 2: You know that socialism and communism is going to come
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 2: up a whole lot. But that's been tracking in the polls.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 2: That's been doing very well. People are worried about it.
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: Well, it's NFL football starts tonight and then tomorrow. Two
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: really good games, New England versus the Seahawks round two
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 1: of the previous Super Bowl and then the 49ers versus
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 1: the Rams. So we'll see how eyeballs compete with that.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 2: I am so psyched that football is back. I can't wait.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 8: Now my weekends mean something again. The talkback of the
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 8: morning and winner of the Curtis Lee and Larry Minty
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 8: in the morning t-shirt was personally affected by the air
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 8: at Ground Zero.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 2: Good morning, gentlemen.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 22: I'm glad that you're covering everything with the air and
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 22: the reports that came out.
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 14: I've worked the piles. I've lost friends. I've gotten sick
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 14: from it. I hate to say it.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 2: Nothing's going to happen.
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 22: This story will go away in a week. Nobody will
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 22: be held accountable. The payouts for victims will be done.
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 22: And this story will just go away. It's unfortunate.
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 14: It's terrible.
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 22: But no one's ever going to be held accountable for this.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 2: My God, I hope you're wrong. And remember, the Talkback
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 2: of the Week will win a C-Crane radio. C-Crane radios

• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: and the report released yesterday. Mine was on Girl Scout cookies,
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: which this year include cookies for your little doggies. You
• 1:44:19

• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: we'll have a lot to talk about tomorrow, Larry, one
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 1: day before the commemoration. And I think there's been a shift.
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: A focus is now on what is in these reports,
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: all the paperwork. It is going to hold people responsible
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: for what took place, but it's 9 o'clock and the news.
