Hour 3: Iran and Venezuela · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump, after some airstrikes in Iran, mostly in southeast Iran,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: near the Strait of Hormuz, to try to clear that,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: and they were taking out some boats that were going
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: to lay mines down. As a matter of fact, there
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: were apparently some drones that were going to put mines
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: in the water. They had to take them out of
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the air. Most of the strikes were on that. They
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: were also in retaliation for some strikes against U.S. allies
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: in the region. They are now going after definitely... the IRGC,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: because they think they are standing in the way of
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: any protest in the country, and the protest would help
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: us immensely. But we do have some breaking news, because
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: more shots have been fired, more missiles have been launched.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Iran fired on U.S. allies in the Gulf early today,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: a night of American bombardment that Iranian officials say included
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: a deadly strike on a wedding party.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: That's just coming across.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: So We'll get you some more information on that. But
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the headline in all of this is that after weeks
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and weeks of nothing but negotiations and then the blockade
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: and a lot of threats, Iran and the United States
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: are now trading missiles again. I guess they didn't listen, Curtis,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: when Donald Trump said last night, if there's anything, if
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: you fire back.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: On our allies... we are going to take Iran off
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: the map.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I guess they've gotten used to him saying that.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Yes. But I also, I would want to hear from
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Pete Hegseth, our Secretary of War and the head of
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: the Joint Chiefs of Staff. They don't really have like
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: daily updates, you know, when you're at war. In this
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: particular situation, I just think one question needs to be answered.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Where do the Iranians keep finding their missiles? Because every
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: other day we're hitting a missile launching site places where
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: missiles are stored. And I believe that's all true. Obviously, drones,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: small speed boats, they can go lay out the mines
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: either far underneath the water in the Straits of Hormuz
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: or near the surface.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I get all that.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: But you would think with all the bombings that the
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Pentagon has conducted, with great accuracy. We see the video,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: you know, the strikes are right on. We're assuming they're
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: missiles in those silos and such. They look like missile silos,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: but they keep seeming to pull like a rabbit out
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: of a hat. They keep getting missiles. Now, are they
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: getting missiles from Russia, in which Putin yesterday said, I
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: support Iran? Are they getting missile technology from Red China?
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: So you got to ask yourself, Either our analytics are
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: incorrect about their missile supply, or they're getting new supplies
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: of missiles that they're using against these Persian Gulf countries.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: And they're hitting them as sometimes their refineries, their ability
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: to ship their natural gas, their oil. And so this
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: is just a continuation. This is like a war of attrition.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: They're all focused on the midterm elections, meaning Trump has
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: to do something to get some relief from this war
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: before then. And the Iranians know, hey, you can take
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: our last dollar out of our pocket, no air conditioning,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: no food. If we can make it to the midterms,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: we may end up with a majority of Democrats in
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: the House and the U.S. Senate, and then things change.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the hope has been all along that we strangle
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the country economically to the point where there'll be an
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: uprising in the country, which there was once before. But
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Iran is ahead of that game, and the IRGC has
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: been trying to swell any of that. One of the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: guys that's been out in front for the administration, unusually
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: in a situation like this, is the Treasury Secretary. It
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: turns out the polling shows he may be one of
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the most popular people in the Trump administration with very
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: few negatives. So he is way out in front of this.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: He's been talking about Operation Economic Outcast, where they're just
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: going to strangle them economically. But he had a whole
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: lot to say. I mean, he was the only one
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: speaking the last couple of days about Iran.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: We are tracking down the IRGC's assets and data. I
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: will say it on World Wide TV, just so you know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: we know where in the British Virgin Islands your accounts
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: are at these trust companies. We know the $ 100 million
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: houses you have around the world, and we are going
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: to freeze those. We are going to, our partners, we
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: are going to close all of that down.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: All of that is good, and nobody gets killed in
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: the process of that. You're freezing money. probably that was
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: gotten by ill-gotten means to begin with. What I really
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: enjoyed yesterday, moving away from the Treasury Secretary for a second,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: about all of his abilities to economically strangle the Iranian
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: government so that they don't have any money to operate on,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: is the President sitting with all the big major moguls
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: of the oil companies and saying, come on, guys, how
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: is it that You keep raising the price at the pump,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: and you are making ungodly profits. So a little bit
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: taken away from the capitalism. You know how capitalists are.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: As long as we can make the money.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was obscene. I mean, the amount of
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: money they made was obscene. Let me say one last
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: thing about the operation. Actually, there's two fronts right now,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and both of it, as Curtis aptly put it, is
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: about the midterms. One is getting more ships through the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Straits of Hormuz, and that's up 400 percent, but it's
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: not where it was. And that's why you're seeing the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: strikes in southeast Iran. And the other one is the
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: oil supplies and strangling them with money, making sure that
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: no oil gets out of there. But at the same time,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: making up for the oil from Venezuela and now putting
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: pressure on on the oil companies. And listen, they made
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: record profits. We're talking about Exxon making double the amount
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: of money they normally make in a quarter with tens
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: of billions of dollars. And we're talking about Shell tripling
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the amount of money they made. So while others are suffering,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: these companies are doing extremely well. And so Donald Trump,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: who has a tremendous relationship with the oil industry, they
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: have supported him every single race and he knows this
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: stuff as well as anyone being a businessman is going
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: to say you know come on you've got you've got
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: to reduce the prices at the pump you're making obscene
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: profits you don't need to charge those prices they're gonna
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: come back and say we don't set the prices it's
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: set on a barrel but there they went up higher
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: than they should have when the barrels didn't move because
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: of the reaction to the shooting. So I think this
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: is going to be a come to Jesus for the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: oil companies. And I wouldn't be surprised if over the
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: next couple of weeks, those prices come down.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Well, remember, we've discussed this before. This is not like
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Sir Isaac Newton. Whatever goes up must come down. It
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: goes up like a rocket and drops like a feather
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: very slowly. But the oil executives, what they say to
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: the president is, look, Mr. President, no disrespect to you.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: You're not responsible for this. But the last time we
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: had a big refinery built was 1977. We got enough oil.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: We don't have refineries to process it. And you know
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: what happens. Refineries, especially like with all the travel in
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: the summer, they had to create a different blend for gasoline.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: They have diesel fuel. They have home heating fuel oil.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: They have jet fuel. So we have 130 petroleum refineries
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: in all of America, which you say, boy, that's not
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: a lot. Because oftentimes some of them have to come offline,
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: you know, just to get maintenance. And then they're not
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: operating for a while.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: So what?
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: The third largest refinery we have was in Louisiana. It
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: was built in 1977. We have a few little small ones.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: You know who has most of the refineries in the world?
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Red China. And if they don't get the oil, which
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: they can't produce on their own. They don't have the means.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: The resource isn't there on the ground. then that also
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: limits the supply on the marketplace because they'll refine it
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: according to order and then ship it out to countries
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: that are in need.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: But when Biden was president, the oil company said that
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: it takes three to five years of construction to build
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: an oil refinery. And it costs, depending on the size
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: of it, from $ 3 billion to $ 15 billion. So that's
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of money and a lot of time. And
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: they said very publicly... Why would we ever invest that
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: kind of money when you have a political party that
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: may take over the Congress, that may take over the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: White House at any time, saying, we don't want you
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: to exist anymore. We want to get rid of you.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: We want to go to other types of fuels because
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: you're killing the atmosphere. So why would we invest that
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: kind of money when the political climate is so unstable?
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: They have a great point.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: And also, nobody wants a refinery in their backyard. Look,
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: when you're on the Jersey Turnpike and you pass Newark
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Airport and you're passing South Amboy, Amboy, and you see
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: all those petrochemical plants and the old Hess refinery there
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: that still refines gasoline and other products from the barrels
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: of oil that comes in. Man, people say, I don't
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: want to live anywhere near an oil refinery. So that's
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: the other problem.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: You know where American refineries are going to go now? Venezuela.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Venezuela.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They already started building to.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: And they got a lot of work to do. They
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: used to do refinery, standard oil. My dad would take
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: loads from Caracas in Venezuela and he pointed out It
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: was such a rich country at that time. They not
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: only were able to dredge up the oil, which was
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: not the light crude. It was the heavier oil that
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: they used for diesel and home heating fuel oil. But
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: as cement, you walk around the streets, pull the mangoes
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: right off the trees. You could survive on that. I mean,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: this country has more oil than anybody else in the
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Western Hemisphere that's all underground.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I should go someday. I have relatives in Venezuela I've
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: never seen. They've come up here. I've never seen them,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: you know. When we fled Germany, many of them went
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: to Venezuela.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: My dad, he said he had such great memories. And
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: then naturally it all went south. When Hugo Chavez came in, remember,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: and then Maduro. And naturally he's out of circulation now,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: but hopefully they get back on track.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: When we come back. Oh, no, you're going to, your
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: heart's going to bleed for this. The rich people don't
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: have enough bathrooms at the U.S.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Open anymore.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Oh my God, this is a disaster. Plus a chance
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: to see Air Supply coming up next. And we want
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: to say thank you to you for helping teachers bring
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: more opportunities, creativity, and learning into their classrooms every single day.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: You've been wonderful with the.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: iHeartRadio's Thank a Teacher powered by Donor's Choice.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: You made a real difference for teachers and students. Keep
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: it going.

• 11:52
  Speaker 3: So we're right in the middle of the U.S. Open
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: tennis tournament. Every freakasoid jet setter trendoid has jetted in.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: And they cop in a squat, not just in the
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: seats of the old Singer Bowl, which became the Louis
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Armstrong Stadium, the Arthur Ashe Stadium, which is the main venue.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: But they have now 90 special super boxes for the
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: rich and the wealthy who have traveled from every port
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: of call around the world to take in the action.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: And the complaints are not about the food. Well, the
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: food is imported, $ 38 for a microscopic piece of quiche.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: It's not about the play itself or the condition of
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: the court. We haven't really had rain interfere with the
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: matches so far. It's about the fact that They might
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: have to share a bathroom with a commoner at a
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: port of sand because, Larry, they have the super boxes.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: And generally when you have a box like Yankee Stadium
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: or Citi Field, you have the bathroom built in the box.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: But apparently there aren't enough bathrooms for all the trendoids
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: to use. How dare that they have to go out
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: with the commoners and share a public toilet. Or actually
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: use a port-a-sand so they're all up in arms now. Oh,
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: my God. What are they going to do? How are
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: they going to get through the next two weeks?
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: It's amazing, isn't it? Because there's an easy solution. There's
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: other bathrooms. If the one that you want to use
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: is occupied, go do it. I'm sure it's downstairs. I'm
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: just guessing.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Go downstairs and go to one of the other bathrooms.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Go to a public bathroom.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: A public bathroom?
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: There you go. That's the whole problem. That's it.
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: I just came in my fancy clothes and drinking my champagne.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: With the commoners? You want me to pee with the commoners?
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: You know what?
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Send that intern down there and have them wait on
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: line for me.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Natalie, you want that trendoid to have to go and
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: wait on line with a ball boy or a ball
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: girl in order to use the toilet? I know.
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: But these days, you know, in stadiums, these luxury boxes,
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: they better have everything.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: Because they're paying a ridiculous amount of money, so they
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: want everything.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying they want everything. Right, right.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: But if the bathroom's used, the bathroom's used. Shut up
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: and wait or go downstairs like everybody else.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: The other thing that I've always seen at all of
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: these events, it doesn't matter, is that women have to
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: wait online forever. They never build enough stalls for the
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: women because they need a different way than men do.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Men go in and out, you know. No, no. Women,
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: if you notice, are online forever. It's ridiculous. So you
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: know damn well whoever the engineers are that are developing
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: these bathrooms are not women doing it.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Have you ever gone into, I'm sure you have, have
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: you ever gone into a bar or back in the
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: old days, some of the arenas across the country, if
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: you went to a sporting event, this is only for men.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Did they have like a trough to urinate in?
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: It's not in the women's room, I'll tell.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: You that much.
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: No.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a trough. That's part of the reason. That's exactly
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: the reason.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: You need a little private space and a lot of
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: time where men just go in and they'll, heck, how
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: many times have you seen somebody going in the sink
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: when it's too crowded?
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Let's face it, isn't that what the French do? What
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: do they call their thing they have there, that little sink,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: you know?
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, the bidet? Bidet, yes.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: So guys who are all gassed up on beer turn
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: that sink into a bidet. Did you know that, Natalie?
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: But a bidet is for cleaning yourself. Yeah, that's what
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: it is. But a lot of people don't know how
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: to use it.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, so they know. Okay. Come on, Natalie.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: In San Diego, when I lived in San Diego, I
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: had a bidet.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: You know, it all goes back to toilet paper. Have
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: you realized that?
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: We're now back.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: It's a great alternative.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Who needs toilet paper when you have a bidet?
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: But apparently I was sitting on it the wrong way
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: all these years.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: I found that on my last trip to Europe.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Oh my God, Larry.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: All right, now let's get to your talkbacks. And guess what?
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: You still want to talk about toilet paper. It is
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: perfect for what we're talking about.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Larry, you strike me as the type of guy that
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: would buy two-ply toilet tissue and separate it to make
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: two rolls. That's one. Two, the first rule of construction
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: is you don't open an empty bucket.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: No, that would be being cheap. I'm not cheap. I
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: can use a whole lot of toilet paper, believe me. So, no,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: that ain't me.
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: Curtis, my Polish grandmother, told me that when Joseph Stalin
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: got mad at Poland, he would discontinue toilet paper and
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: they would have to use the newspapers. So tell everyone, please,
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: to stop voting for communists.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: In communist countries, no two-ply. Yeah. No two-ply.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what's going to happen in Zoramandani's New York.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: It's exactly what's going to happen. If you treasure your
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: toilet paper, you'll get rid of Zoramandani.
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: Curtis and Menti, the problem is not What kind of
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: toilet paper the problem is the toilet paper keeps getting
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: thinner and thinner and thinner When you put the toilet
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: roll on a little the little thing in the wall
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: See all the extra space It gets thinner and thinner
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: and thinner. We're gonna end up using a Dental floss soon.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: First it was our bag of chips getting smaller.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Now it's our toilet paper. Dental floss.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: What an image now I have in my mind of
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: dental floss.
• 17:46

• 21:46
  Speaker 3: So much, Larry, has come out in the last day
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: about the Times Square killing, the slashing, and the woman
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: that ultimately the police had to shoot as she would
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: not respond to their orders to drop the two knives
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: that she had used first. On 41st and 7th, a
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: couple is coming out of the subway station. The gentleman
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: is 68. They're from Rhode Island. They're visiting the city.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: She slashes him. Luckily, he survives. She starts going north,
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: and right before she reaches that police substation that is
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: right in the center of Times Square on 43rd and 7th,
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: she pulls that knife out again, and she slashes and
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: stabs and kills a new mom who had just celebrated
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: with her husband a baby's baptism. She had just returned
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: to work as an executive for Bank of America, which
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: is right down the corner. It's corporate headquarters on 6th
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: and 42nd. And apparently she was just walking to the
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: location and she was stabbed and killed. And, oh, my God,
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: the tributes that are pouring out in her honor of
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: all her achievements in her life in New Jersey. Again,
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: meeting her husband at Fordham Law. Cinderella-style story in terms
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: of her success corporately, a graduate of Villa Walsh Academy
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: in Morristown, a girls' Catholic school, just a great story.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: And now, unfortunately, all of her family and friends will
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: have to go to a wake and a ceremony before
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: she is buried. But the woman who was responsible for
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: all of this, wow, there is a lot of stuff
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: that has come out about clearly what was a psychotic episode.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: We all saw that video over and over. A heavyset
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: woman who is like 48 years old. She's got two
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: knives out. She's surrounded by the NYPD. They tell her
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: to drop those knives, drop those knives. And then right
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: before she charges them one last time before they're forced
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: to shoot her, she goes basically, I'm going to kill you.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: I'm going to kill you. And she begins to charge.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: So let's tackle each issue if we can, Larry. Remember,
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: I was somewhat suspect about the tasers. A lot of
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: people have said, gee, how come the tasers didn't take
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: her down? And taser experts said, look, she had thick
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: clothing on. She is a heavyset woman, so she had
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: a lot of body fat. She had erratic movements, and
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: she had her purse strapped in front of her. So
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: apparently they fired maybe four separate sets of tasers at her,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: the NYPD, trying to take her down or at least
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: stopping her. And it didn't have any impact on her
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: for a variety of reasons. Both the taser prods have
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: to hit you simultaneously. So if it's only one taser
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: prod from one shoot, It won't stop you. And then
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: she just, as you saw, charged. And the police officers
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: had warned her to drop those knives. And then they
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: fired on her. And she herself was killed. Her father
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: said that she had stopped going with him to her
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: mental health appointments. She was on medication. Her brother said
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: she had all kinds of episodes in her life. But
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: I think the most interesting thing about this woman who
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: was responsible for the death... And this horrible incident is
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: that she posted a lot on Facebook, so much so
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: that you could almost, if you were reading it, know
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: that she was preparing to basically end her life because
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: she said, this is happening before the ends of time.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: She thought it was going to be rapture. She thought
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: it was going to be the end of the world.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: And I think this was really her last statement. But Wow,
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: she has some posts there where you could see her
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: in good times. You could see some of the pictures
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: of her family and extended family. She had three daughters,
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: two of whom were living with an ex-husband in Florida,
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: one who was autistic. So that young lady was in
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: a home being cared for. But you look at all
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: the different posts and you see somebody who clearly, according
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: to the brother, was bipolar. One minute, euphoric. happy, celebratory.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: And then the next minute in her own Facebook posts,
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: in well-done English, I might add, you could see she's
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: in the depths of depression with almost no way out
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: where she's saying, this is the end. This is the end,
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: my friend. Yeah.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: And, you know, the news, the local media has done
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: a great job on this story in covering a lot
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: of what you're talking about right now and getting to
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: the family. And it seems like By everybody's account, she
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: had a loving family, loving parents, and her parents had
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: been talking to the media. Now, they don't speak English,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: but through translators, they were able to say a couple
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: of things. And listen, you're going to hear the mother.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I'm going to play for you what they said. It's
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: pretty quick, but you're going to hear from the mother first,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: not understanding why the police had to shoot her. Any
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: mom would say that. You can argue that was all
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: they could do at that point. I would argue that,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: but a mother says, why didn't you just grab her arm?
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Why didn't you just try to take her physically? That
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: was out of the question at that point. But then
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: the father said something really fascinating.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Listen.
• 27:32
  Speaker 11: There were so many police. Why didn't they grab her
• 27:34
  Speaker 11: by the arm? Yeah, she had mental problems. There were
• 27:40
  Speaker 11: no signs this would have happened. This was all of
• 27:42
  Speaker 11: a sudden because she's never been violent.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Now, they talked about some medications she's taken recently. And
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: in many of these cases you hear about, including Lindsay Clancy,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: many of these cases you're hearing about how medication may
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: affect someone. And I really wonder if she obviously had
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: mental problems, but she didn't have a history of violence.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: The police don't have a history of violence with her.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: The family said she didn't have a history of violence.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: So if there was a new medication that she was taking,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: and again, this is just being reported. I don't know
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: this for a fact, but it's been out there. If
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: there was a new medication she's been taking, that is
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: certainly something that we need to take a closer look
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: at and how people could react to it because it
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: could mean the difference between life and death as we've
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: seen in a couple of high-profile cases.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Well, one situation stands out for me. 2019, she did
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: involve herself with the police and mental health personnel. She
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: tried to commit suicide by jumping in front of an
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: E train in Queens, not far from Jamaica Hospital. There's
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: a station right there. That would say to you, wow, boy,
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: you really have to be in a really bad state
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: of mind to want to jump in front of a
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: subway train.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Well, absolutely.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a sign of violence, which is they talked about,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: but she absolutely had mental problems. And there has to
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: come a time when something like that happens where someone
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: can be put away by the family. But the Supreme
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Court has ruled against that mainly because of society was
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: bad in setting up facilities. The Supreme Court cases came
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: from Bybury in Philadelphia, from Willowbrook in New York. from
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Forest Haven Asylum in Maryland, from Denver State Hospital, from
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Kings Park Psychiatric Center in New York. Some famous cases
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: that finally went to the Supreme Court. Court and they said,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: enough is enough. You can't put people away against their
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: will unless it gets to the point where they become
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: a danger to society. This woman they didn't catch in time.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: When we come back, well, guess what? The jury is
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: going to go back in the Lindsay Clancy case any
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: minute now. We'll talk about that.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Coming up.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Day five of the Lindsay Clancy murder trial is set
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: to begin now in less than five minutes as the
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: 12 person jury will go back. It's composed, as we've
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: said several times, of nine women and three men. They
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: deliberated for more than 23 hours over four days and
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: they have not been able to reach a verdict yet.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Yesterday morning, the jurors sent a note to Judge William F.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Sullivan stating they were unable to come to a unanimous decision.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Nobody knows exactly what that means, except for the fact
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: that one or more are disagreeing. The judge subsequently gave
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: them a standard instruction to return to the jury room
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: and continue trying to reach a consensus. So deliberations will
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: begin today. Here's the thing. Under Massachusetts law, if they
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: come back today and say, we still can't make a decision,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: the judge has a decision to make. Does he send
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: them back in again or does he just say, thank
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: you for your time and declare a mistrial? The charges
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: will still stick, but he can send them back one
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: more time under Massachusetts law. And after that, they have
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: to deliberate for a decision. And remember, Labor Day weekend
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: is upon us. So a lot of those jurors in
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: their mind are probably saying, we can't resolve this. I
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: have things to do at a Labor Day weekend, any
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: number of reasons. But I think that the prosecution now
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: is probably getting ready if there is a mistrial hung jury,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: which is starting to look more and more as a possibility,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: offering a plea bargain. to the defense attorney so that
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: they don't have to go back to trial again because, remember,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: they have had, what, 80 witnesses, all kinds of exhibits
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: that they put before the jury. I don't think they
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: have the wherewithal to do that all over again.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: I agree with you, but it'll be horrible.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: It'll be an aberration of justice at that point because
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: if anybody deserves life in prison, I believe she does,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: and it certainly won't be that if there's a plea deal.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: it's probably going to be psychiatric care.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, the other thing that's coming back is
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: what our own Natalie Megliore said to us. You know,
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: the very first witness that the prosecution used was Patrick Clancy,
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: her husband. The very first witness turned out, in the
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: minds of many who were watching while we're in that courtroom,
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: was not a very good witness at all and may
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: have actually set the whole trial off in a bad
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: direction for the prosecution.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and his actions afterwards, everything is bad about him.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: He's not a good human being, obviously, but he's also
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: not a murderer who killed their own children. So there's
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: really no relation between the two, except one had to
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: be a witness and didn't perform too well. I mean,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: even if he wasn't going to get on that stand
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: and cry about her, what about the kids? What about
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: the three children? Anyway, we'll talk more about that tomorrow.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Hopefully there'll be some kind of decision today, but let's
• 33:07
