Hour 3: ICE in NYC · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, the big story locally, of course, and nationally at
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: this point, is another ICE incident, this time in New
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: York City. We knew it eventually was going to come here,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: and of course it has happened. It happened last week,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: it happened late, we were able to talk about it
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Friday morning, but so much has happened over the weekend.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: As you know at this point, man... Mr.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Bagal from the Dominican Republic, who is not in the
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: country legally, has a long rap sheet.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: He's 28 years old.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: He had his five-year-old son in the backseat, Oscar Bagal.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: There was a petition to get him, an emergency petition
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: to get him, and they did what they were supposed
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: to do. The ICE officers went there. He tried to
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: rev up his car and get out of there. Shots
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: were fired. He was injured, but he's going to recover.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: He's not in New York City anymore. He's being held
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: now in New Jersey. And since then, there's been nothing
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: but protests. There's been nothing but some speech that really
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: is insightful. And when I say insightful, I don't mean
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: that it's insightful in that it means something deeper. Insightful
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: in that it could incite riots and it could incite
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: bad things to happen. We were waiting, I think when
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: we first talked about this last week, for the Trump
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: administration to come out and say something. Well, Mark Wayne
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Mullen certainly did come out and say something. He had
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: a news conference. And Mark Wayne Mullen pointed out something
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: that I didn't think of. But when you think about it,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: it's kind of amazing. He talked about how quickly Zoran
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Mamdani was out and Kathy Hochul was out to blast Trump,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: saying they were rotten to the core and they should
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: be abolished. Just like before, Mamdani used to want to
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: abolish the police. Now he just wants to abolish ICE.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: And so he went after them. He said there's going
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: to be an investigation. He called the president.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: He was yelling. He wants them out of their city.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: And Mark Wayne Mullen pointed out that we had a
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: police officer that was attacked just a week before and
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: nothing from the mayor.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: NYPD officers are some of the finest officers we have
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: out there.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Just last week, one was stabbed seven times by illegals.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: One that we had a detainer on that New York released.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Both had extensive... criminal backgrounds.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Did the mayor.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Of New York say anything about that?
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Nope.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: And neither did Kathy Hochul. Nothing.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Police officer gets attacked now because it happened from an illegal. Now,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: illegal are the preferred citizens right now. Illegals really can
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: get away with anything they want to, especially in New York,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: because the Democratic Party is now holding them up as
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: being sacred.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: But a police officer gets attacked?
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: No. No, it made the papers. Zoram Mamdani was too
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: busy for that, I'll tell you what. An illegal gets
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: shot by ICE. Wow, he dropped everything. And now he
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: wants further investigation. This man is so far over his skis.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: He thinks he has.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: A lot of more power than he actually does. He
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: really believes... He is on par with the president. So
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: he's going to have an investigation.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: In terms of what I will be doing with the
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: police commissioner is a review of that entire 24 hour
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: period that includes ISIS shooting. It includes the NYPD's response
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: to the incident, as well as the ensuing protest. It
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: includes ISIS use of a privately owned parking lot as
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: a staging area. And it includes every tool that is
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: available to us to protect New Yorkers across the five boroughs.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that'll be a fair investigation. As you just heard,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: all he's doing is going after ICE. He's not going
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: to investigate anything else. And, Curtis, last week, when this
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: was all happening, you were saying we should really have
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Tom Homan come out. We should really have Tom Homan
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: should be handling this.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Well, he spoke.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: I don't know what color the sky is in my
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: dummy's world, but ICE isn't going anywhere. We're going to
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: be in New York City. We're going to be in
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: New York State. We're going to keep enforcing law. That's
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: why President Trump's in the Oval Office. The American people
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: voted for a secure border, the most secure border in
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: the history of the nation now, and they voted to
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: enforce immigration law.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: That's exactly what we're going to do in New.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: York City and every other sanctuary city. So he can
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: scream and yell all he wants.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: He's not going to stop us from doing this job.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: So Tom Holman seems to be saying we're doubling down. Well,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: he can double down, but you don't have an ICE director.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: You don't have, like, you have an FBI director. You're
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: supposed to have an ICE director. The new Department of
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Homeland Security's choice, Mullen's choice, who had been the head
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: of the state police in Oklahoma, was rejected. They need that.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Number two, they're supposed to be taking their own body cam.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: It seems in almost every situation where they were supposed
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: to be taking their own body cam, They don't produce
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: body cam. Well, they weren't trained to use it. They
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: didn't turn it on. We've yet to see the ice
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: body cam. We don't know the idea of the shooter.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Shoot at a car seven times. It appears it may
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: have been an automatic weapon. You need to know who
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: that is because there have been situations in the country
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: where they have recruited so quickly that they didn't do
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: proper background checks, proper training. And then lastly, As I
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: have said consistently, the guy's a bad hombre. You want
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: to pick him up. But whether you're bounty hunters or
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: a warrant squad or U.S. Marshals, there's a time and
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: a place to do it. You don't do it at
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: 4 o'clock in the afternoon. School is out. The streets
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: were packed with people. And by the way, Mullins was
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: saying this guy is the worst of the worst. Well,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: he's a bad hombre. He's not the worst of the worst.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: There have been far worse people that they've had to
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: go after, murderers and rapists.
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: Nobody's.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Accused him of murder or rape. Assault, assault, violent assaults
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: he's accused of.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I just thought he was a bad hombre. But 4
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: o'clock in the afternoon, you know where he lives. He
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: could have gone overnight. I just felt it was the
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: wrong time, wrong place to do that intervention. And again,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I'm waiting for the Department of Homeland Security to release
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: the body cam. Every time they do, this always happens
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: to the traffic stops. And they promised us every time
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: they do a traffic stop, that the body cams would
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: be on and we'd be able to see for ourselves. Now,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: we've seen the NYPD body cam, but they arrived after
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: the fact. We've seen some video from some of the
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: nearby cameras, because nowadays cameras are everywhere. But we've yet
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: to see the body cam footage of ICE and the
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: ID of the shooter. It appears what was said is
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: one person fired seven shots. Now, why would you fire
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: seven shots? The guy didn't have a weapon. None of
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the ICE officers were injured.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I think this has been litigated several times now, and
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: it keeps coming up. Every time somebody accelerates their car
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and goes forward when someone is standing in front of
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: their car, that car is then a deadly weapon. And
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: so this has happened now a couple times. They are
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: allowed under their laws and under most laws to open
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: fire at that point, and that's what he did.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: But you are aware that's not been happening in New
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: York City. With a number of law enforcement agencies. That
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: have opened fire and shot somebody? Seven shots, Larry?
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: The guy was driving right at him. What are you
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: going to do at that point? Let me see Ice's video.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're always promising to give the body cam, right?
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Aren't they always promising? We're doing our own internal investigation. Well,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: every time they've done an internal investigation, it hasn't turned
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: out too well. In Maine, in Minneapolis. I want to
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: know who's the guy who decided to pull the trigger
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: seven times. To me, incomprehensible that you would shoot at
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: somebody seven times. And luckily, the five-year-old kid in the
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: back did not get hit.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: And they didn't know the five-year-old was in the back.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: They made that very clear. But they said, you know
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: who didn't know the five-year-old was in the back?
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: That guy.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: And he was going to go. He was going to
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: try to get out of there. He didn't care about
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the little kid at that point. He was trying to
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: save himself.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Look, I hate.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Discussing these things because we always talk about the ice
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: officers and what's wrong there. We never seem to talk
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: about the guy. We never seem to talk about sanctuary
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: city policy. I mean, this whole witch's brew of opening
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the border and then creating sanctuary cities.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: And then creating soft-on-crime laws so that these.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: People are out, and then we defend them. Then we say, oh, no, no,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: we shouldn't pick them up. Oh, no, no, they shouldn't
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: be shot when they try to run down an officer. Oh, no, no,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: that's so horrible. That's so horrible that— It's an upside-down
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: world that ICE are the bad guys now, and the criminals,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the illegal criminals who shouldn't have been in this country,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: they're the people we're going to defend.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: You would acknowledge they operate like no other law enforcement agency.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: They don't show ID. They cover their faces. Now, apparently,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: they're going undercover.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Why does that bother you so much?
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: That's never happened before in the history of America. That's
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: what they do in third world totalitarian dictatorship.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: They're not going after you. They're not going after me.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: They're going after people who are in this country illegally.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: And most of them have committed crimes.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: They never did that before. And they made arrests when
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Tom Holman was in charge of ICE. As you know,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: he was given the award by Barack Obama. They actually
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: sent more illegals back to their country of origin. I
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: never remember seeing them in the streets. That's because they
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: didn't cover.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: It when Obama was president. They didn't cover it back then.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Nobody was covering it like it's getting covered today. Because
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: now it's a political issue. You have no idea how
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: they did it in the past. It looks so bad.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: This is America. It looks so bad because you want
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: it to look bad. And there's a whole party that
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: wants this to look as bad as.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: as possible. Why are you covering your face? Why are
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: you not showing ID? Why do you care?
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: They're going after people that are not supposed to be
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: here who commit crimes. This guy was a bad guy
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: and wasn't supposed to be here. He's the one that
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: revved up the car. He could have been taken away.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: No fuss, no mess. He decided to make this a
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: violent incident.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: So he is responsible for somebody shooting seven times at him.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: If you rev your car up and you go at
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: somebody with a gun, yes, you.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Should expect to be shot. Or any of the ICE
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: officers hit. What's that? With any of them hit by
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: the car. Does it matter?
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it matters.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: If somebody fires a gun at you, it matters that
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: the gun doesn't hit you? I want to see their
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: video from the body cam. Right, because you know that
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: was silly. You know that was silly. They always promised
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: that they would.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: But we have lots of video. What are they waiting for? Well,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: they're going to have their own investigation.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: And who is the guy who fired seven times? Why
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: are you... I am not crying a tear at all
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: for this guy. I want to know if he's a cowboy.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I want to know what his record was previous to
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: him being high. Because they operate like cowboys, like no
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: other law enforcement agency in the United States. But they're
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: going after people who aren't supposed to be in this country.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: So now warrant squads can do it. Bounty hunters don't
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: even do this.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I don't understand why you are always siding with those
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: who are illegally and criminals.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Where is the body cam footage? Criminals illegally. They've promised us.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: I'll bet you they don't have any. I'll bet you
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: they won't reveal who the shooter was. Maybe not. Seven shots, Larry,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: at four o'clock in the afternoon. Come on. If this
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: were your neighborhood, you'd be screaming. No, I wouldn't. I'd
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: be saying thank you for getting them out of.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, I would be. There's no question. Don't question me
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: on that. Some of this stuff. It's so far out
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: there how upside down this whole world is.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: At this point. Wouldn't you be interested in looking at
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: that body cam video? And it's all for politics and
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: you've fallen for it. Wouldn't you be interested in looking
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: at that body cam footage? Yes, of course. Okay, so
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: let's see if it comes out this week. Anyway, up next,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Ella Langley cancels a concert. People couldn't identify her in
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: a lineup, a police lineup, plus a chance to see
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Journey next. I love bringing up Ella Langley.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Anything she does in the news, we're going to cover
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: just because Curtis doesn't seem to like her at all,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: but she had one of the biggest songs of all time.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Sounds like every second song of Nash would have played
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: on their playlist.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: No, it's a huge song. She's become a big star.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: You say nobody could pick her out of a lineup,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: but I think most of the people in this building
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: know who she is, but we're talking about her because
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: she had to cancel a concert in Tulsa because police
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: got a phone call saying that an individual intended to
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: cause great harm at the 19,000-seat venue using both firearms
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: and explosives. So they called her, and immediately she just
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: canceled the concert.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: 19,000? She was going to have 19,000 people at the stands?
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: She's selling out everywhere now. She's going to sell out stadiums.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: She's a big, big... Her bias was there. Natalie, our producer,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: her bias is there. She keeps humming that song in
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: between breaks just to rattle me.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: And bother me. Yes, that's what I'm doing. But no, obviously,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: I don't want to see anybody get harmed, but that
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: must have been a pretty serious threat. For somebody to
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: cancel a concert. Well, she was.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Criticized afterwards for canceling the concert because they did a sweep,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: they found nothing, they said it was safe, and she
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: went along and then she made a statement afterwards, said,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: a billion out of a billion times, I would cancel
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: that concert. I'm not going to take the chance. I
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: defer to the artist. I defer to the artist.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: So even though, look, the reason I don't like her
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: is I don't think most people know her. And the
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: number one song of all time on the playlist continuously,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: I don't buy that. Well, except it was. I mean, people,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. Well, I came up with the research
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: of Tom Cuddy, right? Do you dispute Tom Cuddy, our
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: program director?
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I don't dispute that she was number one 24 weeks
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: in a row on the Billboard charts.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: That is indisputable. Let's get to some talkbacks. Come on.
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: A native New Yorker's got to be born here. They
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: have to have gone to school here, raised, had kids,
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: and now they're here still. That's a native New Yorker.
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: The rest of this people are just wannabes. Put that
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: in your pipe and smoke it.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Anybody who says that's a native New Yorker. You might
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: as well have called them fugazis. Stopping a mugging in
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: New York City makes you a New Yorker. Wow, that's
• 15:02

• 17:45
  Speaker 9: he's willing to hold new elections if Russia agrees to
• 17:48
  Speaker 9: a total 60-day ceasefire. A spokesperson for President Putin rejecting
• 17:53
  Speaker 9: that idea flat out, and Russia still hasn't responded to
• 17:56
  Speaker 9: President Trump's call for an energy ceasefire.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: ABC's Mary Bruce, the president heading back out on the

  Speaker 4: and I have the answer to your question, guys. It
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: was Tom Flores, Kansas City Chiefs, I believe, if I
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: remember right.
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: Backup quarterback for the Chiefs, won Super Bowl IV. Assistant

  Speaker 4: and Super Bowl XVIII.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we Googled it, too. I have to tell you.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: I did know it was Flores, but I don't remember
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: all the teams that he played. I'm a football nerd.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Next news, 9 o'clock bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: on 710WOR.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Thanks a lot, Daria.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Congratulations to Leslie Rivera from Shirley, New York, who just
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: won a pair of tickets to see Journey October 25th.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: at the Prudential Center. Tickets on sale now at Ticketmaster.com.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: You get another chance to win tomorrow at 825. Well,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: will there be a response to the attack of an
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: airport in Saudi Arabia? The president says, yep. We'll talk
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: about it when we come back. Well, this just came
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: in in the last hour. Saudi Arabia is forced to
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: extend the suspension of all flights to and from its
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: main international airport in Riyadh after a further round of
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Houthi missile attacks caused more damage and left one more dead.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: The Gulf nation said it was taking the step after
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Houthi missiles killed 13 people on Saturday and left 300
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: more injured. Saudi state, uh, TV showed passengers deluged in
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: smoke and things falling from the ceilings. No one was
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: able to board a plane at that point. No planes
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: have gotten in and out after the two attacks after
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: two days. And right now, Curtis, there is an investigation
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: going on, an internal investigation going on in Saudi Arabia
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: as to what happened to their missile defenses. How did
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: these missiles get through? They thought they were secure. They
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: thought it was all closed off. And it obviously wasn't.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: They got through twice. So maybe they knew something. Maybe
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: they had some intelligence on the missile defense system, or
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: maybe they learned from others how to get missiles through.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump has been involved in this, of course, speaking
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: to all sides, even the Houthis.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: We have communication with the Houthis and we'll see what happens.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: But what they did was very bad. Yeah, we'll see
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: what happens.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: I think what is going to happen is we're going
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: to join with Saudi Arabia in retaliatory attacks. President Trump
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: has already kind of signaled that that's going to happen.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia can't just take this without doing anything back.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: So They have to attack. And we are apparently, according
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: to President Trump, and that just also happened, we apparently
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: are going to help them in that regard.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: So, Curtis, thoughts? Well, the president was trying to do
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: whatever he could to avoid any kind of engagement in
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: the Middle East until after the midterms. This would not
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: be good. Saudi Arabia has decided to try to determine
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: who should be leading in Yemen. Yemen has always had
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: civil wars. First, it was the monarchy versus the communists,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: north versus the south. Then it's the Houthis who are
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: in the north and the Saudi-supported Yemenites in the south.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: They're always fighting, always battling one another. They're all Muslims,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: so it's not like they're battling one another over religion.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: It's all about who's going to be in charge of Yemen.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Saudis were bombing them years ago. Then there was a peace.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Then they started bombing them again. And Saudi Arabia, although
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: we've sold them some of the most advanced military defense
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: mechanisms and offensive mechanisms that are available on the marketplace,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: they depend on mercenaries. The Saudis don't appear to want
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: to fight. Remember, we had to come to their aid
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: when it appeared that Saddam Hussein would not only push
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: through Kuwait, which he did, but go right through Saudi Arabia.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: And we knew that Saudi Arabia did not have the
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: ability to stop him. So if we do this. This
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: just helps Iran because, remember, they're affiliated with Iran, and
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: this is exactly what Iran wants. They want to somehow
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: entice us to get involved somewhere because they know it's
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: all about the midterm elections. There's no doubt. They probably
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: have the big 72 big-screen TVs in their caves somewhere
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: in Tehran watching CNN, Fox News Channel, MSNOW, and all
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: other communications that they can tap into. to see how
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Trump is doing in the midterm. So got to be
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: really careful. Although I got to tell you, if you
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: haven't seen the video, you must, because you see all
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: these passengers, they're online, they're sitting there waiting. They have
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: no idea what's happening. And you can see as the
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: missile hits, boom, how they all get knocked back to chaos. Obviously, unfortunately,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: 13 died, 300 injured. And they're firing missiles back and forth.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: So this just creates more problems in the whole region.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: And the Houthis right now are saying this wasn't an
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: unprovoked attack. They say it was retaliation. They claim, and
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: you just alluded to this a little bit, that some
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: 91 Yemenis have died and 168 have been injured by
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Saudi-led's coalition campaign against that terror group. That's over five years.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: It's not recent. It's over five years. But they say
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: they've wanted to retaliate, and they finally saw a chance.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: And I wonder what that opportunity was that they saw.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: I wonder how they knew they could get these missiles through,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: because obviously they all got through, and it hit the airport.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: So there is a weakness in the defense. How did
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: they know?
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Well, somebody probably tuned them in, remember? Saudi Arabia, the government,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: is the defender of Mecca and Medina. You are expected,
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: as a practicing Muslim, at least one time in your life,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: to visit Mecca and Medina, do the Hajj, as they
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: call it. You get a lot of Sunnis going through.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: It's a Sunni nation. That's the majority of the Muslims
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: in the world. And then you get a lot of
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Shias who are coming through there also. So who knows
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: where loyalties are in these occasions? But I will tell
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: you this. If we're going to back Saudi Arabia... We're
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: going to have to provide most of the muscle. Hopefully
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: it will not be troops on the ground. It'll probably
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: just be flights that are bringing missiles into the areas,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: cruise missiles itself from some of the naval personnel that
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: are offshore. But this just, again, this just creates even
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: more and more problems in the area.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and sources are saying that Saudi Arabia is really
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: leaning on us right now to join them in retaliation.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: That makes me believe they can't pull this off on
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: their own.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: No, they've tried. But look, the Houthis, if you look
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: at some of the pictures, they're wearing sandals, plastic sandals,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: and they're carrying all kinds of weapons. And you're saying
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: to yourself, wow, Saudis, you can't beat these guys? They can't.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: In fact, the Saudis have to hire mercenaries from parts
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: of Africa to do the fighting for them. It's a
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: wealthy nation. You know, nobody there wants to fight. They
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: all want to enjoy the richness that comes from the
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: oil and natural gas. When you depend on mercenaries and
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: you depend on others to do your fighting, you know,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: sometimes you're a dollar short and a day late. So
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: let's see what President Donald Trump determines to do. Anyway,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: up next. Oh, wow. Breaking news. Ilhan Omar. The congresswoman
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: from Minneapolis has just had her D.C. home raided by
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: federal investigators. Maybe we can give you a few tidbits
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: on that. And today is the Columbus Day Parade. Curtis
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Sliwa will be in the parade, as I am, every year.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: And Zoran Mandami has not been in any of the parades,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: including the big one today that kicks off at 11.30
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: on Fifth Avenue. Well, a bit of breaking news this morning.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: The home of Representative Ilhan Omar, a Democrat in Minnesota.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: You know her, I'm sure.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: She's a prominent member of the squad. Was raided this
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: morning at about 4 o'clock in the morning our time.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: in Minnesota by Homeland Security Investigations. Now, HSI is just
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: a part, it's the investigative unit of the Department of
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Homeland Security. Multiple federal agents with HSI jackets were seen
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: outside of Omar's home in Minnesota, also her Washington, D.C. home,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: in the early hours on Monday. Two sources close to
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: the investigation say the search stems from a criminal fraud
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman's immigration paperwork. So if you
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: thought that this was about the fraud investigations, it doesn't
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: sound like it is. This sounds like it has to
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: do with the fact— and I'm just going to say these
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: are allegations— The fact that she claims she was married
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: to her brother to get her brother into the country.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: But this is also the Congresswoman's immigration paperwork. So we're
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: just pulling straws and trying to read into the situation.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: I'm sure we're going to find out much more as
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: the day goes on. Well, you know, it doesn't matter
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: what she's accused of. She always makes matters worse. You know,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: the new guy that she married who had the vineyards.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: And then apparently he was making millions of dollars with
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: the vineyards and he doesn't have the vineyards anymore. There
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: are so many fraudulent activities surrounding her. But obviously this
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: could be just the basis. Is she a citizen because
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: of what she did? to get access into the country,
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: which was it apparently marrying her brother. Boy, that is,
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: that's pretty dodgy. She's never answered those questions. No, never.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: She's always avoided it. By the way, the DOJ did
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: put out a statement just saying that we had this
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: raid this morning. So it's been confirmed by them too. Remember,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: I guess it was back in September, Tom Homan said
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: that there was an ongoing criminal investigation into Ilhan Omar.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: So this is part of it. I wouldn't expect charges
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: right away. I mean, this is just part of an
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: ongoing investigation. So they're going to sort through what they found,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: and then there may be no charges or there may
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: be charges in a couple of weeks or in a month.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: But in the meantime, this is happening right in the
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: middle of the midterm elections. with some really important elections
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: happening in Minnesota.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Well, we can be assured the squad is going to
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: show up somewhere to give her their sister in solidarity. support.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Cause we know they're not marching in any of the
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: respective Columbus state parades in their, their areas that they
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: represent guaranteed. The squad will be out there in some way,
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: defending the actions of Ilhan Omar, who I would say
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: out of all the squad members is the weak link.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, She has so many questions about not just
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: her status, all the fraud involving Somalians in the healthcare
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: industry in Minnesota, which may well end up electing a
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Republican as the U.S. Senator.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: That's why I was surprised this had to do with
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: immigration status. I thought for sure, because there's already been
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: a lot of arrests and charges in the welfare fraud industry.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: And she was at the center of that. So I
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: thought immediately when I heard her house was raided, oh,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: it's going to be because of the welfare fraud.
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: Nope.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: No, this is about her immigration status. Now think about
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: that for a second. She can't be a U.S.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Congresswoman. Correct, if she's not a citizen.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so there's a lot of ramifications to this. We'll
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: have a lot more on this tomorrow, but it's going
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: to play out. throughout the day, and you're going to
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: want to keep listening to find out the latest.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: And I'll be out there at the annual Christopher Columbus
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Day Parade on Fifth Avenue, as I am every year.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: So tomorrow I'll be able to tell you what was
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: happening along the parade route. One thing we know for sure,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Zorhan Mandami wasn't going to be at this Columbus Day Parade,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: any Columbus Day Parade, any festivities involving Columbus or Italian heritage.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: He did a video instead. praising previous socialists in New
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: York City who served in office, but he ain't showing
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: up nowhere. And as I said in the New York
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Times today, it's right at the top of the column. Hey,
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: a mayor should be attending every festival and every parade
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: they can. All parades matter. That should be your hashtag.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: You got that, Natalie? All parades matter. I got it.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: You're now his secretary. I noted it. Did you write
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: that down? Hey, I didn't have to. The New York
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Times did. And the Talk Back of the Morning in winter.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Other Curtis Lee and Larry Mendte in the morning t-shirt.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: And now the running for Talk Back of the Week.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Who will win a C-Crane radio when? Want us to
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: know what he thinks makes you a true native New Yorker.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: A native New Yorker's got to be born here. They
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: have to have gone to school here, raised, had kids,
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: and now they're here still. That's a native New Yorker.
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: The rest of this people are just wannabes. Put that
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: in your pipe.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: And smoke it. Bagation. And we want to know how
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: you feel about the mayor not marching in the Columbus
