Hour 2: Mamdani and Netanyahu · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: Well, a lot going on with Iran and around the
0:02
Speaker 1: White House, So let's check in with John Decker, w R.
0:05
Speaker 1: White House and Washington correspondent and host of the podcast
0:08
Speaker 1: The White House Briefing Room with John Decker, which of
0:12
Speaker 1: course could be found on the iHeartRadio app. Donald Trump
0:17
Speaker 1: said the other day, well just yesterday, as a matter
0:19
Speaker 1: of fact, when responding to threats by the Iranians to
0:25
Speaker 1: hit more ships in the Strait of Hormuz, he said
0:28
Speaker 1: that if that happens, he is going to start taking
0:32
Speaker 1: out infrastructure, specifically civilian bridges and nuclear power plants. And
0:40
Speaker 1: many people and I wanted to check with John Decker
0:42
Speaker 1: about this. Many people came out and said that would
0:45
Speaker 1: be a war crime, that that would be chargeable, and
0:50
Speaker 1: I had never ever heard that before that that was
0:53
Speaker 1: a war crime. I thought a war crime was taking
0:56
Speaker 1: out civilians. I didn't know the taking out infrastructure would
1:00
Speaker 1: be considered a war crime. So John Decker is also
1:04
Speaker 1: a constitutional attorney and knows the law extremely well. So
1:08
Speaker 1: I'm going to check with him. John. I've been talking
1:11
Speaker 1: about the comment that President Trump made yesterday when he
1:15
Speaker 1: said that if they keep hitting ships in the Straits
1:17
Speaker 1: of Hormuz. I'm going to start taking out civilian bridges
1:22
Speaker 1: and nuclear power plants. And immediately several people came out
1:25
Speaker 1: and said, well, that would be a war crime. Is
1:29
Speaker 1: that the case? Would that be a war crime?
1:32
Speaker 2: No, not necessarily. You know, bridges sometimes have dual uses.
1:38
Speaker 2: Bridge can be used for a civilian purpose, but if
1:40
Speaker 2: a bridge is used to transport military equipment, then it
1:44
Speaker 2: falls under the realm of being fair target for the
1:48
Speaker 2: United States as it carries out its objectives against Iran.
1:52
Speaker 3: Now, John Decker, there's been a lot of talk about
1:56
Speaker 3: the site in Iran, Peak Axe Mountain, as possibly housing
2:03
Speaker 3: centrifuges other means for Iran to potentially make a nuclear weapon.
2:11
Speaker 3: The President went on record as saying, Hey, I want
2:15
Speaker 3: that nuclear dust, as he calls it. Why wouldn't the
2:19
Speaker 3: President if he feared that, just send b two stealth
2:23
Speaker 3: bombers again from Missouri. Right, There's no way Iran can
2:27
Speaker 3: knock him out of the sky and just level picks
2:30
Speaker 3: Axe Mountain, obviously hermetically sealing it in forever. Why the hesitation,
2:37
Speaker 3: I don't know.
2:38
Speaker 2: I mean, the President has spoken publicly about that particular target,
2:42
Speaker 2: and the President is indicated as recently as Tuesday was
2:45
Speaker 2: in the Oval Office. When the President says we're going
2:48
Speaker 2: to go after Pickaxe Mountain, that's exactly you know, the
2:51
Speaker 2: way he put it. And so I think it's just
2:53
Speaker 2: a matter of time, you know, that planning that goes
2:56
Speaker 2: into that and figuring out what's the best method for
3:00
Speaker 2: making certain that, as you put it, Curtis that mountain,
3:04
Speaker 2: any entry into that mountain is hermetically sealed.
3:09
Speaker 1: You know, we had the governor of New Jersey come
3:13
Speaker 1: out yesterday and talk about six thousand, six thousand, six
3:17
Speaker 1: hundred be exact, six six hundred people who were non
3:21
Speaker 1: citizens being able to get on the voting rolls through
3:25
Speaker 1: the Department of Motor Vehicles and that has started an
3:29
Speaker 1: uproar across the country. The people that have the software
3:34
Speaker 1: that hooks up the Department of Motor Vehicles and the
3:37
Speaker 1: election roles saying that's impossible, we didn't do it. Republicans
3:42
Speaker 1: are out saying that, well, I thought that there were
3:44
Speaker 1: no illegals voting, that there was no illegals on the rolls,
3:48
Speaker 1: and now we found out that the governor wasn't being
3:51
Speaker 1: truthful in much of it. Does this all of this,
3:55
Speaker 1: I know Republicans are jumping on it. Does all of
3:58
Speaker 1: this help the same act?
4:01
Speaker 2: You know, that's a very good question for those Republican
4:04
Speaker 2: senators who have said, under no circumstances are they going
4:08
Speaker 2: to change their vote? And I can't get inside the head,
4:10
Speaker 2: you know of those individuals like the Senator from North
4:15
Speaker 2: Carolina or Lisa Murkowski who have indicated that they're not
4:20
Speaker 2: going to change their vote or change their mind as
4:22
Speaker 2: it relates to signing on to passing the Save America Act.
4:28
Speaker 2: It's really up to those individuals. And you know, if
4:30
Speaker 2: the President, you know, makes a good case that it's
4:35
Speaker 2: a valid reason for passing this particular legislation, maybe they'll
4:39
Speaker 2: change their minds. But I just don't see that happening.
4:41
Speaker 2: They've really dug in their heels on this.
4:43
Speaker 3: John. I've seen a pivot and shift on behalf of
4:46
Speaker 3: our President Donald Trump looking at the Persian Gulf, looking
4:50
Speaker 3: at the Middle East and saying, why are we demonizing
4:53
Speaker 3: all the nations out there? We got to befriend them.
4:56
Speaker 3: So he went towards Ernawan. He couldn't have been nice.
5:00
Speaker 3: He wants F thirty five jets for them, and then
5:03
Speaker 3: immediately BB jumps up says, oh, no, you think Iran
5:07
Speaker 3: is bad or Nowana is worse, And I'm like, mind
5:10
Speaker 3: your own business, BB, this is our foreign policy. Then
5:13
Speaker 3: again he meets with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia
5:18
Speaker 3: and he agrees to allow them to do nuclear enrichment,
5:22
Speaker 3: which is something they've always wanted to do, And immediately
5:26
Speaker 3: BB jumps up again as if he's going to dictate
5:29
Speaker 3: to us what our foreign policy is. Does anybody tell him,
5:33
Speaker 3: shut up? We have our foreign policy, you have yours.
5:38
Speaker 2: Well. I think that from the perspective of the Israeli
5:41
Speaker 2: Prime Minister, he thinks, as any leader of any country,
5:44
Speaker 2: you should think first and foremost about the security of
5:48
Speaker 2: his country. And if he feels that in any way
5:50
Speaker 2: the security of Israel is in any way breached by
5:56
Speaker 2: approving these types of deals that you described, he f
5:58
Speaker 2: thirty five's for Turkey, a nuclear deal for Saudi Arabia.
6:02
Speaker 2: You're going to speak up, you know. I think that
6:04
Speaker 2: that is exactly what he's doing right now. Whether he
6:06
Speaker 2: can change any minds is another thing altogether. And as
6:10
Speaker 2: it relates to the Saudi nuclear deal which was announced yesterday,
6:14
Speaker 2: there is some opposition to that in Congress, but there's
6:17
Speaker 2: not enough opposition in Congress to block it. You know,
6:20
Speaker 2: if the president if a bill actually passed Congress seeking
6:24
Speaker 2: to block that particular deal that was announced by the
6:27
Speaker 2: Energy Department yesterday, the President would veto it, and there
6:30
Speaker 2: are not enough votes in Congress to override that presidential veto.
6:34
Speaker 1: Hey, John, I feel like I'm back in the nineteen
6:36
Speaker 1: fifties the way we're talking about communism all the time.
6:40
Speaker 1: And it seems like the Republicans are talking about zorin
6:43
Speaker 1: Mamdanni more than the Democrats talk about zorin Mamdanni. It
6:47
Speaker 1: seems they think this is a real tactic they can
6:52
Speaker 1: use going into the midterms. So, you know, hate always
6:56
Speaker 1: drives votes in the midterms, and or fear in fear
6:59
Speaker 1: of common is a real drive vote. Is that what's happening?
7:03
Speaker 2: Well, it's happening. And it's not just you know, the
7:05
Speaker 2: Democratic mayor of New York City. It's happening in Colorado.
7:09
Speaker 2: You know, he's seen this with various candidates that have
7:12
Speaker 2: emerged as the Democratic Party nominee who are really really
7:16
Speaker 2: far left. And that's putting it kindly. You know, they
7:19
Speaker 2: would even describe themselves as socialists. The president will describe themselves,
7:23
Speaker 2: would describe those individuals as communists. Whether that's an effective strategy,
7:28
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean for certain voters absolutely, But
7:31
Speaker 2: for most voters, the thing that drives them more than anything,
7:34
Speaker 2: and certainly will drive them in the midterms is the economy,
7:38
Speaker 2: is jobs, is inflation. That's the primary issue for most voters. Now.
7:42
Speaker 3: Remember at the start of the year, John, you had
7:44
Speaker 3: reported to us that Susie Wilds, the President's chief of staff,
7:48
Speaker 3: has said the President will soon be touring the country.
7:52
Speaker 3: He is going to focus on the economy. You know,
7:55
Speaker 3: he's going to focus on what Americans need, inflation, all
7:58
Speaker 3: those things you just made sure not happening. And now
8:02
Speaker 3: that we're mired in war, it's anyone at the White
8:06
Speaker 3: House who's like waving a flag to say danger, danger, danger.
8:12
Speaker 3: We're not addressing some of the concerns of those swing voters,
8:16
Speaker 3: especially the independent voters, who in poll left and poll,
8:19
Speaker 3: including a Fox News poll, are saying, man, the president's
8:24
Speaker 3: ratings and a lot of these areas is not good.
8:28
Speaker 2: Well, Susie Wilds is doing her part as the White
8:30
Speaker 2: House chief of staff. But beyond that, you know, I
8:33
Speaker 2: see on the President's schedule almost every week, meetings that
8:35
Speaker 2: he has with very senior Republicans, the House Speaker John Stune,
8:40
Speaker 2: the Senate majority leader, and they stress exactly the idea
8:45
Speaker 2: that you're stressing, that the president should focus like a
8:47
Speaker 2: laser beam on issues related to affordability in the economy.
8:51
Speaker 2: And he did that, you know, to a certain extent
8:53
Speaker 2: yesterday when he was in Georgia. The President got out
8:56
Speaker 2: of the Beltway. I would expect as we get closer
8:59
Speaker 2: to the midterms, help post Labor Day in particular, that's
9:03
Speaker 2: when you're going to see the President hit the row
9:05
Speaker 2: probably once a week, trying to maintain that Republican majority
9:08
Speaker 2: in both the House and the Senate.
9:11
Speaker 1: I know it's early, and you're exactly right, it's not
9:14
Speaker 1: till after Labor Day things really kick into gear. That's
9:17
Speaker 1: when you're going to start seeing all the ads everywhere.
9:19
Speaker 1: So I know it's early, but I guess I'm surprised
9:23
Speaker 1: at the polling so far, and I guess I'm really
9:25
Speaker 1: surprised at the numbers that they're giving, you know, in
9:28
Speaker 1: CNN and others with Harry Enten, where they say it's
9:31
Speaker 1: close in the House, it's closer than you would expect
9:35
Speaker 1: it to be, and the poll numbers among Democrats and
9:37
Speaker 1: Republicans are also close at this point. Maybe it's just
9:42
Speaker 1: because it's the time of year and people aren't paying
9:45
Speaker 1: attention yet, but I would think that this would be
9:48
Speaker 1: a democratic gear.
9:51
Speaker 2: I would think that too. But you have to factor
9:53
Speaker 2: in this, you know. Although there may be dissatisfaction with
9:57
Speaker 2: President Trump, and that's expressed in a number of polls
10:00
Speaker 2: that you've seen that I've seen, the problem is, I
10:03
Speaker 2: think for Democrats, what's their message. What's the message that
10:07
Speaker 2: they're selling to voters. I don't even know what it is,
10:09
Speaker 2: you know, and I'm in the business of covering this,
10:12
Speaker 2: so you know, I think that that's problematic for them.
10:15
Speaker 2: They can't just be anti Trump, never Trump, not Trump.
10:19
Speaker 2: They have to actually have a message that's positive to say,
10:22
Speaker 2: here's why we should be in charge of Congress.
10:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great point, and I think some Democrats
10:27
Speaker 1: are upset about too. You heard Van Jones the other
10:29
Speaker 1: day screaming about the same exact thing.
10:33
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and he spoke about this leftward shift in
10:37
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party, how it's problematic for Democrats. So that's
10:41
Speaker 2: a headwind that they're facing and you raised it, you know,
10:44
Speaker 2: heading into the midterms, and the President of course is
10:47
Speaker 2: facing his own headwinds the war and also inflation. Those
10:51
Speaker 2: are two major headwinds for Republicans trying to hold on
10:55
Speaker 2: to both the House and the Senate.
10:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, both sides have their own problems. John Decker, w R.

11:56
Speaker 1: at AXS dot com a X get him now before
12:02
Speaker 1: they sell out. Oh, you know, the jury's always been out.
12:06
Speaker 1: I'm William Shatner, Captain Kirk to me and so many others.
12:10
Speaker 1: Some like him. Some say he is.
12:14
Speaker 3: An a hole, you know, just the way he carries himself,
12:17
Speaker 3: especially people who may stay hours online to see him
12:22
Speaker 3: at any of those events that he shows up to
12:25
Speaker 3: in which he does signage, takes pictures or whatever. But
12:28
Speaker 3: now we have information that not only was he diagnosed
12:32
Speaker 3: with stage fourd's cancer, but at the same time his
12:35
Speaker 3: daughter was going through the same ordeal. Hers was breast cancer.
12:40
Speaker 3: His was cancer of malignant melanoma that had spread to
12:45
Speaker 3: his lungs and throughout his body. So where exactly are
12:50
Speaker 3: they in that process? They are cancer free. They are
12:54
Speaker 3: cancer free. And it's amazing because it didn't look like
12:58
Speaker 3: the early diagnosis look like either of them were going
13:01
Speaker 3: to be able to to make it through. But here
13:05
Speaker 3: they are talking to People magazine and celebrating together.
13:09
Speaker 4: His response was like, I'm gonna be fine.
13:12
Speaker 1: You just were like steamroll like the way you do.
13:15
Speaker 1: You just steamed roll through it like I'm stage four.
13:18
Speaker 1: I don't believe it truly. Yeah, he said, I never
13:23
Speaker 1: believed I got it. And he had he for anybody
13:26
Speaker 1: else that's going to go through a fight with cancer,
13:28
Speaker 1: and he had stage four at a certain point, a
13:30
Speaker 1: stage four cancer.
13:31
Speaker 3: Well, I know I had stage four prostate cancer. I
13:35
Speaker 3: had to go through the operation. I know exactly stage
13:38
Speaker 3: four all you by the way, did he have doctor
13:42
Speaker 3: bones McCoy look at him.
13:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, no, but he is, you know he is.
13:47
Speaker 1: He's a national icon from the Star Trek. And then
13:50
Speaker 1: he then he just became famous for being William Shatner.
13:53
Speaker 1: You know, he had that Uh he would do some
13:56
Speaker 1: goofy things, things you'd never expect William Shatner to do,
13:59
Speaker 1: like there were rock album. So he became famous as
14:03
Speaker 1: doctor Kirk, as mister as Captain Kirk, but then also
14:07
Speaker 1: famous as just being himself. But in being himself, he
14:12
Speaker 1: just says he always believed in himself and that's what
14:15
Speaker 1: got him through the cancer. Fear is blinding, Fear mitigates everything.
14:22
Speaker 1: Fear it's a wall. If you're told you're gonna.
14:25
Speaker 3: Die, well I better get busy and do something.
14:31
Speaker 1: You better get busy. No time.
14:33
Speaker 3: But now ninety six ninety six shocked.
14:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I believe in what he said. It's a
14:41
Speaker 1: positive attitude. If you give up, that's it. You're done.
14:45
Speaker 1: And the fact that he never gave up and he
14:47
Speaker 1: thought that he was going to beat it the entire time.
14:49
Speaker 1: I think that helps you beat it. That's something to
14:52
Speaker 1: learn from.
14:52
Speaker 5: It's very simple how this happened. It was designed for
14:57
Speaker 5: it to do this. They established himself as a sanctuary state,
15:02
Speaker 5: welcoming illegal people, and then they provided services to them.
15:06
Speaker 5: And this was one of the services that they provided intentionally,
15:10
Speaker 5: they provided driver's licenses and then they figured, all right,
15:13
Speaker 5: well we can get them to vote.
15:16
Speaker 1: Yeah. I should have led better into that. That was
15:18
Speaker 1: about the uh, Mikey Cheryl coming out yesterday about the
15:22
Speaker 1: New Jersey voting roles, and he said, he is alleging
15:26
Speaker 1: that this was all purposeful and it was planned out,
15:29
Speaker 1: and now she is making up something to try to
15:32
Speaker 1: cover for it. I'll tell you what something fishy's going on. Well, absolutely,
15:37
Speaker 1: and that it deserves an investigation.
15:39
Speaker 3: She's biming in on half in the bag Murphy, who
15:41
Speaker 3: was MIA during his eight years, So it's gotta be
15:44
Speaker 3: some truth to that. Shee Murphy was just distant, disconnected, uncaring,
15:50
Speaker 3: never there when needed. So I think it's a little
15:53
Speaker 3: bit of both.
15:54
Speaker 1: That would have been fine if she would have just
15:56
Speaker 1: ended there, that would have been fine. But it turns
15:59
Speaker 1: out that she then said she fixed it, which she
16:02
Speaker 1: never did. And then she also said it was a
16:05
Speaker 1: glitch in the software, and the people that make the
16:08
Speaker 1: software say no, no, no, that's impossible for this to happen.
16:11
Speaker 1: There is no way you can go in and get
16:15
Speaker 1: get a license and then be registered to vote if
16:18
Speaker 1: you were a non citizen. We don't have the we
16:19
Speaker 1: don't have the capability of doing that. So now she's
16:22
Speaker 1: in some trouble.
16:23
Speaker 6: This is the way they do it.
16:24
Speaker 3: Larry, don't believe Mikey Cheryl. She's a liar.
16:29
Speaker 6: The whole point of giving them drivers' licenses with to
16:32
Speaker 6: get them the registrative quote, Hey did it. It's a
16:36
Speaker 6: democratic ploy. They'd been doing it. I voted in New
16:41
Speaker 6: Joint fifty years. Every time I went to the voting district,
16:45
Speaker 6: all Democrats.
16:46
Speaker 3: Running a vote.
16:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll tell you why she did this to try
16:49
Speaker 1: to save her, but she might be in more trouble now.
16:52
Speaker 1: Not only that, but now there's gonna be investigations all
16:56
Speaker 1: across the country because this software is used elsewhere. Is
17:00
Speaker 1: it being used at his excuse an excuse in New York?
17:03
Speaker 1: Is it being used as an excuse in California? I mean, listen,
17:07
Speaker 1: this is a big story. And so I want to
17:10
Speaker 1: thank she never she didn't do this on purpose, but
17:12
Speaker 1: I want to thank Mikey Cheryl for calling our attention
17:14
Speaker 1: to this.
17:15
Speaker 3: But the driver's licenses and themselves are imperative unless you
17:20
Speaker 3: want all the restaurants to close down, unless you want
17:22
Speaker 3: all the farms and the dairy farms to close down.
17:25
Speaker 3: As the illegals go back and forth to their jobs,
17:28
Speaker 3: so if they can't drive, they can't get to work.
17:30
Speaker 3: You can't do it on a bicycle. I don't want
17:32
Speaker 3: them to work here.
17:33
Speaker 1: I don't want them to go back there where they
17:34
Speaker 1: came from because they came here illegally. Yes, there's a
17:37
Speaker 1: lot of people that can't come here now.
17:38
Speaker 3: Because ain't going to be picking the crops and milking
17:42
Speaker 3: the cow. We can they can take cars, listen, that's
17:46
Speaker 3: what happen. It's ridiculous. There's better ways to do this.
17:50
Speaker 3: Can we listen to other people?
17:52
Speaker 7: So I always felt like there was a lot of
17:53
Speaker 7: shenanigans coming on with the election, especially in New Jersey.
17:57
Speaker 7: I felt like Cidarelli was definitely when it sounds it
18:01
Speaker 7: that way. Prior to it, the polls showed it. I
18:04
Speaker 7: know the polls can be off, but my question is this,
18:07
Speaker 7: what if they find there was fraud in the election,
18:12
Speaker 7: will they have to hand it over to Citderelly? That
18:14
Speaker 7: would be wonderful.
18:16
Speaker 1: No, No, that's probably never going to happen. But we
18:20
Speaker 1: can always dream, can't lead. Let's get the Daria Aubinger
18:23
Speaker 1: with the seven thirty news area.
18:25
Speaker 4: Running guys onto the Senate. The House has approved in
18:27
Speaker 4: more than one trillion dollar annual defense policy bill. Six
18:30
Speaker 4: Democrats join most Republicans to pass the National Defense Authorization
18:34
Speaker 4: Act of twenty Let's try this again, two hundred and
18:38
Speaker 4: sixteen to two hundred and twelve. The Act is of
18:41
Speaker 4: twenty twenty six. Some cited their opposition to the Iran
18:44
Speaker 4: war and concerns over a provision that would strengthen the
18:47
Speaker 4: collaboration between US and Israeli militaries. City health officials will
18:51
Speaker 4: conduct DNA testing to find out which of the thirty
18:54
Speaker 4: four Upper East Signed buildings which tested positive for Legionella
18:58
Speaker 4: bacteria are behind the legionionaire's disease outbreak. They want to
19:01
Speaker 4: know if the bacteria found in the cooling towers matches
19:04
Speaker 4: any patient's DNA. There are at least eighty two cases
19:08
Speaker 4: and five deaths. The National Weather Service now says there
19:11
Speaker 4: were four tornadoes in New Jersey and one in Westchester
19:15
Speaker 4: County during Tuesday severe storms. New Jersey transit ridership hit
19:18
Speaker 4: a record during the fee for World Cup. Yes, even
19:20
Speaker 4: though the trains were only half full. The railroad says
19:23
Speaker 4: it moved over three hundred and seventy thousand passengers for
19:27
Speaker 4: the eight matches. That is the record. Next News eight
19:30
Speaker 4: o'clock bulletins at Once. I'm Daria Albinger on seven to
19:33
Speaker 4: ten wr oh up.
19:35
Speaker 3: Next Jean Mandami milking the issue of what to do
19:41
Speaker 3: would be be Natanyao when he comes to the city
19:45
Speaker 3: in September when the world leaders assemble at the General
19:49
Speaker 3: Assembly at the United Nations. He's not gonna give this up.
19:53
Speaker 3: He's milking it. For all it's worth. But in the meantime,
19:57
Speaker 3: for all of you out there, regardless of the position
20:00
Speaker 3: that you take on these different policies that Larry and
20:02
Speaker 3: I are discussing, there is a phenomenon of receiving spam,
20:06
Speaker 3: text messages, deceptive emails. It's your ain't good. Scammers only
20:12
Speaker 3: text and email you when they have your info? So
20:15
Speaker 3: how do they get it? Data brokers sell it to them.
20:18
Speaker 3: Put these data brokers on notice to stop. There's a company,
20:22
Speaker 3: get a pad and pen, write it down that does
20:24
Speaker 3: that for you. Incognitate. That's I n ceog ni. It's
20:28
Speaker 3: an online service you sign up for to put the
20:31
Speaker 3: hundreds of data brokers on notice to stop. I use
20:34
Speaker 3: Incogniti for just that purpose. Already they remove my data
20:38
Speaker 3: from three hundred and twenty four data brokers, and Incogniti
20:41
Speaker 3: doesn't slow down. They continue to know it's going to
20:45
Speaker 3: be like whack them mold, so they put more data
20:48
Speaker 3: brokers on notice. The end result, your data is not
20:52
Speaker 3: online like it once was. Data brokers aren't selling my data,
20:56
Speaker 3: nor will they sell your data because they don't have
20:59
Speaker 3: my permission. Go to Incogniti dot com, slash Curtis, let
21:03
Speaker 3: me spell it for you again, I n cog ni
21:07
Speaker 3: dot com slash curtis save sixty percent when you sign up,
21:11
Speaker 3: go now in cognit dot com slash curtis. If they
21:15
Speaker 3: can't find you, they can't scam you. That's I n
21:18
Speaker 3: c og ni dot com slash Curtis. Larry, Remember what
21:24
Speaker 3: I said. Zorn Mondamie is milking this issue for all
21:27
Speaker 3: he can. From the time he announced his candidacy when
21:31
Speaker 3: he was at one percent, Andrew Eveliscomo was at forty percent.
21:35
Speaker 3: That was back in February of twenty twenty four, and
21:42
Speaker 3: he said, right out of the box, have I become
21:44
Speaker 3: mayor that war criminal who's wanted by the hey, the
21:48
Speaker 3: International Tribunal. I'll have them locked up in New York
21:52
Speaker 3: City and everybody, ah, man, that ain't going nowhere where.
21:56
Speaker 3: And it created the battle lines again. The battle lines
21:59
Speaker 3: have existed here going back into the seventies, Israel versus
22:03
Speaker 3: Palestinians and our layout the case. So all mayors think that,
22:07
Speaker 3: in addition to doing the basics picking up the garbage,
22:10
Speaker 3: you know, taking care of the potholes and making sure
22:14
Speaker 3: the schools run, think that they are the Secretary of
22:17
Speaker 3: State think that, Well, we have Marco Rubia. Now I'm
22:21
Speaker 3: the Secretary of State. So boy, he rode this pony
22:26
Speaker 3: as long as he could that if elected mayor, he
22:30
Speaker 3: would order the police department to arrest bb Netta Yahoo
22:34
Speaker 3: upon coming into New York City, that he knew he
22:36
Speaker 3: would have to do once a year when the General
22:38
Speaker 3: Assembly comes together and you have leaders from all over
22:43
Speaker 3: the world. So he finally acknowledged, well, you know, after
22:46
Speaker 3: an exhaustive check with our Corporation Council and other outside
22:51
Speaker 3: legal sources, it's become very apparent I can't do it.
22:55
Speaker 3: And then he went on you know, his Dalia trap.
22:57
Speaker 3: He's a war criminal. But score points there. Now, you
23:02
Speaker 3: thought he would have given it up, right, it's over. No, no, no,
23:06
Speaker 3: he's getting clicks, He's getting worldwide attention. So now it's
23:11
Speaker 3: like a day number four and twenty two on this
23:14
Speaker 3: issue that's a non existent issue. Well guess what. Okay,
23:19
Speaker 3: we can't arrest them, but we can protest against them.
23:23
Speaker 3: So now the issue is will you be out in
23:26
Speaker 3: the protest? Will you yourself get arrested in an act
23:30
Speaker 3: of civil disobedience, which he's done many many times before
23:34
Speaker 3: he was an assemblyman when he was an assemblyman from Astoria.
23:37
Speaker 3: And I can almost guarantee you, Larry, he will be
23:40
Speaker 3: leading that first demonstration somewhere when BB arrives, probably outside
23:45
Speaker 3: of the Israeli Consulate, which is right near like forty
23:48
Speaker 3: second Street and Second Avenue. But there's a history to this,
23:53
Speaker 3: so people say, wow, this is Aurhanmandami was zor On benefits.
23:57
Speaker 3: BB benefits because now he's been vic demise. Why just him?
24:02
Speaker 3: You realize how many people have come in here. None
24:05
Speaker 3: of that has ever been done, you know yy BB.
24:08
Speaker 3: And Trump has weayed in to throw BB a lifeline
24:11
Speaker 3: because for a while he was ignoring BB. So everybody wins. Well,
24:16
Speaker 3: it was my very dear Combodi Chech. Rudy Giuliani, mayor
24:19
Speaker 3: of the City of New York, but also fancied himself
24:22
Speaker 3: as Secretary of State from time to time. So yes,
24:25
Speaker 3: our Arafat was here with everybody else visiting the General Assembly.
24:29
Speaker 3: Remember he had the pistol on his hip, actually a
24:32
Speaker 3: pistol in he's speaking, and the un had a celebration
24:36
Speaker 3: concert at Alice Tully Hall. So Rudy tells his age,
24:41
Speaker 3: You tell yes, our Arafat to get the hell out
24:44
Speaker 3: of here is nineteen ninety five. And so yes, our
24:48
Speaker 3: Arafat left, not the city of New York, not the
24:50
Speaker 3: United Nations, not the hotel he was standing with, oh Rudy.
24:54
Speaker 3: He got props from all his supporters, Yes, Sir, got
24:58
Speaker 3: props from all the Why yes, our Arafat didn't you
25:02
Speaker 3: know that Castro came here and toured him above it?
25:05
Speaker 3: And then probably the most famous one in nineteen seventy
25:08
Speaker 3: seven was Ed Koch who met Jimmy Carter on the
25:12
Speaker 3: tarmac of the heliport you know, by Wall Street. Jimmy
25:14
Speaker 3: Carter was coming in and naturally Koch has had a
25:17
Speaker 3: greet him along with the governor at that time, Ari Company.
25:19
Speaker 3: But he gives him a letter and he goes, you
25:22
Speaker 3: gotta get rid of your UN ambassador Andrew Young, who
25:27
Speaker 3: had been mayor of Atlanta, but elevated by Jimmy Carter
25:30
Speaker 3: because he's meeting with the PLO PLO representatives who had
25:35
Speaker 3: on status at the UN General Assembly observers status. And
25:40
Speaker 3: eventually Andrew Young got sacked because of it. And it
25:43
Speaker 3: all come what does it all come back to? Thirty
25:46
Speaker 3: years later Israel Palestine, Israel Palisad all sides. Milk it
25:52
Speaker 3: for all its worth, and that's why every mayor knows it.
25:56
Speaker 3: You can distract all the other issues that are more
25:59
Speaker 3: important for may to deal with by constantly focusing on it.
26:03
Speaker 1: I get it. I don't care about the other mayors.
26:04
Speaker 1: I care about this mayor, and this mayor is a clown.
26:07
Speaker 1: I agree with John Fetterman. He's he is an empty suit,
26:10
Speaker 1: and we found that out in some recent interviews when
26:13
Speaker 1: he was asked some tougher questions. Finally, because our media
26:16
Speaker 1: is not doing it. So you're right, he is doing
26:19
Speaker 1: this to hide the fact he is trying. And now
26:22
Speaker 1: it all comes together, right, this is what he did
26:24
Speaker 1: the entire campaign. He said some ridiculous things, He made
26:28
Speaker 1: some ridiculous promises. People followed him eyes wide, he could,
26:33
Speaker 1: had a nice smile, he could speak well. He was
26:36
Speaker 1: an empty suit the entire time. And now he's saying
26:41
Speaker 1: this for a distraction. You're absolutely right. What is he
26:44
Speaker 1: distracting from. Most of the promises were false and they're
26:47
Speaker 1: going to be false. We have a homeless encampment building
26:51
Speaker 1: and growing that he's doing nothing about. He killed twenty
26:54
Speaker 1: one people during the snowstorms. Problem after problem after problem,
26:59
Speaker 1: failure after failure after failure, and what does he do.
27:03
Speaker 1: He wants to arrest Benjamin Nett and Yahoo, because that's
27:06
Speaker 1: what everybody's gonna follow.
27:07
Speaker 3: But it was never an issue in the primary Cuomo
27:10
Speaker 3: made in an issue and that just stoked the fires.
27:13
Speaker 3: He should have ignored it the way I did it.
27:15
Speaker 1: Well, well, it was a big deal. I mean it
27:17
Speaker 1: was hard. It was hard to not cover it when
27:20
Speaker 1: he said he was going to arrest Benjamin Nett Yahoo.
27:23
Speaker 1: Everybody in the country was covering that.
27:26
Speaker 3: Only because CMO went for the bait, and not only
27:29
Speaker 3: because of that, because it was a ridiculous thing to say,
27:32
Speaker 3: and everybody followed it. Did he not win as the mayor?
27:35
Speaker 3: Did he not kill?
27:39
Speaker 1: And I think that there was a lot of reasons
27:41
Speaker 1: into that, and I think there was a movement, and
27:43
Speaker 1: I think he was a flim flam man and that
27:46
Speaker 1: he came into this city and he said, you know,
27:48
Speaker 1: like in the in the music Man, he came in
27:51
Speaker 1: and he said, you got trouble in River City, and
27:53
Speaker 1: everybody bought it. And now we're seeing time and time
27:56
Speaker 1: again that he has no idea what he's doing.
27:59
Speaker 3: Well, back to our two fifty series on the Constitution
28:04
Speaker 3: and also obviously our great celebration. We're going to be
28:06
Speaker 3: doing something very special later on. But Larry did not
28:10
Speaker 3: do what he normally does each year, and it had
28:14
Speaker 3: to do with the same issue that is plaguing the
28:16
Speaker 3: Smithsonian Institute. Larry will update us as to why for
28:20
Speaker 3: the first time he did not go to Independence Hall
28:24
Speaker 3: on our nation's birthday July fourth, Roger, Larry, I remember
28:28
Speaker 3: as we were wrapping up our series, we were the
28:32
Speaker 3: only station of any type to dedicate so much time
28:36
Speaker 3: to the lead up of our two hundred and fiftieth
28:39
Speaker 3: birthday July fourth. In fact, you can hear the whole
28:41
Speaker 3: series as Larry covered New Jersey, I covered New York
28:45
Speaker 3: during the Revolutionary time. Just go to seven to ten
28:49
Speaker 3: wor dot com slash America and you can hear all
28:55
Speaker 3: of it. But you were planning, as is a yearly
28:59
Speaker 3: again yes on your bucket list, to go to Independence
29:03
Speaker 3: Hall where really it all started, the signing of the
29:05
Speaker 3: Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia, where you spent so many years.
29:10
Speaker 3: But this year there was something different happening there that
29:13
Speaker 3: sort of caused some people to shy away.
29:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, this story is still going on because Washington had
29:20
Speaker 1: his house there before they built the White House. He
29:24
Speaker 1: lived there when he was president, so it was sort
29:26
Speaker 1: of like the head of the executive branch when he
29:29
Speaker 1: was there, right near Independence Hall, because he had his
29:33
Speaker 1: house there, and they have, you know, a plaque up
29:36
Speaker 1: that the house is no longer there, but they have
29:37
Speaker 1: a plack up and they have a memory of it,
29:39
Speaker 1: and they have something you can walk through to hear
29:42
Speaker 1: about it. There are several people that want included in
29:46
Speaker 1: that that he was also a slave owner, and there
29:51
Speaker 1: was protesters down there. They had a plaqu up for
29:54
Speaker 1: a little bit that has been taken down. It's still
29:56
Speaker 1: in the courts. I don't know about you. I'm just
30:00
Speaker 1: getting tired of this stuff. I believe, I firmly believe
30:04
Speaker 1: that racism and slavery is an important part of our
30:07
Speaker 1: history and we should know all about it. But it
30:10
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be forced into everything. There are certain
30:14
Speaker 1: things like him having this house there and running the
30:17
Speaker 1: government has nothing to do with slavery. He didn't even
30:20
Speaker 1: have slaves there at the time, so it has nothing
30:23
Speaker 1: to do with slavery. But these people constantly want to
30:26
Speaker 1: impose their feelings about history into our current history and
30:34
Speaker 1: into the American history and into the positive side of
30:37
Speaker 1: American history. Every time something positive is brought up, there's
30:41
Speaker 1: going to be somebody going, ah, no, no, no, no,
30:44
Speaker 1: Remember slavery, remember the Civil Rights movement. Both important, both
30:48
Speaker 1: heavily covered. But let them be in their own entity,
30:53
Speaker 1: Let them be in their own section of American history.
30:56
Speaker 1: They don't have to be imposed on everything.
30:59
Speaker 3: And that leads us to the ongoing debate about what
31:03
Speaker 3: is in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, DC and what
31:10
Speaker 3: adaptations have been made.
31:12
Speaker 1: Oh my god, did you see the hearing, nyches?
31:14
Speaker 3: I saw a snippet chet.
31:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, so do I I didn't see the entire thing.
31:17
Speaker 1: But it's Anthea Hartig, who runs the Smithsonian National Museum
31:23
Speaker 1: of American History, and she was getting hit, especially by
31:27
Speaker 1: the Republicans, constantly, and good for them, about the fact
31:33
Speaker 1: how ridiculous it is, how ridiculous it's gotten that everything
31:38
Speaker 1: that apparently is in the museum has a little card
31:41
Speaker 1: you can read talking about the racist implications of what
31:46
Speaker 1: you're seeing. Is mickey mouse racist?
31:49
Speaker 7: This isis?
31:50
Speaker 8: It's not racist? According to the Smithsonian Institution, one of
31:54
Speaker 8: your exhibits referenced to Mickey Mouse is representing quote, vestiges
31:59
Speaker 8: of long star standing traditions of blackface minstrel sy.
32:05
Speaker 1: Huh, is blatantly diculous. These are people, the ones that
32:11
Speaker 1: are the way or far off to the left, the
32:15
Speaker 1: ones that are the radical. I see racism everywhere. That's
32:20
Speaker 1: my sixth sense. Everything that is out there. Any way
32:24
Speaker 1: they can make something racist, they're going to do it.
32:28
Speaker 1: No one in a right mind ever thought that Mickey
32:32
Speaker 1: Mouse was racist.
32:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I guess many got it exempted from that, right.
32:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it sounds that way. I mean, what
32:39
Speaker 1: kind of weird stretch of the imagination, what kind of
32:42
Speaker 1: warped imagination is going to see a minstrel when you
32:45
Speaker 1: see Mickey Mouse? And then during it during the testimony,
32:49
Speaker 1: at one point one of the congressmen said, you know, objectively, objectively,
32:57
Speaker 1: this is ridiculous. I meanly, if you look at history,
33:01
Speaker 1: just a history, and you didn't add anything onto it,
33:05
Speaker 1: it would exist most of it without any racism. And
33:09
Speaker 1: yet you're imposing racism. And the answer was, and this
33:12
Speaker 1: is the quote I'm always going to remember because it
33:15
Speaker 1: really does sum up that movement. Objectivity is a tool
33:20
Speaker 1: of white racism. I mean of racism, white supremacy. That's
33:24
Speaker 1: what the line was. Objectivity is a tool of white supremacy.
33:29
Speaker 1: Objectivity is a tool of white supremacy. Isn't objectivity just
33:35
Speaker 1: by definition? Not on anybody's side. That is the most
33:40
Speaker 1: ridiculous comment I have ever heard, But it explains so much.
33:44
Speaker 1: There's such a warped opinion of the world that objectivity
33:49
Speaker 1: doesn't exist. If you're being objective, if you're telling the truth,
33:53
Speaker 1: well then you must be on the other side, you
33:56
Speaker 1: must be a racist. If you push back at all,
33:59
Speaker 1: you're a racist. It goes into what you talk about
34:02
Speaker 1: all the time. Anybody that talks against Israel right away,
34:05
Speaker 1: they're anti Samita.
34:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, I mean that. I was on with
34:09
Speaker 3: Pierce Morgan and I had to defend myself and say,
34:13
Speaker 3: both my sons are Jewish, my younger sons. You can
34:16
Speaker 3: be for Israel but opposed to beb That doesn't make
34:19
Speaker 3: you an anti Semiti. But you're correct. That's an excellent analogy.
34:23
Speaker 3: But I guess there are some out there who want
34:26
Speaker 3: to present both sides of a story. But you better
34:29
Speaker 3: have some documentary evidence on that other side of the story,
34:32
Speaker 3: because it takes away from the main story.
34:35
Speaker 1: Yes, and there's a fear, there's a white fear that
34:39
Speaker 1: you can't push back or you're a racist. It's just
34:42
Speaker 1: like you're an anti Semite.
34:44
Speaker 3: No, it's perfect, it's a perfect comparison. But up next,
34:48
Speaker 3: we have dominated this issue, and in fact, yesterday we
34:51
Speaker 3: had on the Great Esteemed Infectious Disease expert doctor Gregory
34:56
Speaker 3: Poland was railing about the cuts in the FDA in
35:00
Speaker 3: the CDC. RFK Junior must have been listening because soon
35:04
Speaker 3: after he was responding to that. Instead, it was all species,
35:09
Speaker 3: and I believe it happened right here because of our
35:12
Speaker 3: ongoing discussions about Taco Bell and the letters from Mexico.
35:16
Speaker 3: But first eight o'clock, let's give you the news.
