Latest / Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning / Hour 1: Renaming Penn Station
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: The weekend.
- 0:01Speaker 2: It's gonna be beautiful. Natalie Vaka is not here today.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Chris Schweitzer is filling in for her. She's gotten the
- 0:10Speaker 2: three day weekend. It was perfect, And we start off
- 0:14Speaker 2: the show today with we want to extend the conversation
- 0:18Speaker 2: we were having before the show because Curtis Leewa came
- 0:22Speaker 2: up with a brainstorm a tremendous idea and I want
- 0:28Speaker 2: him to tell it. But we were just talking about
- 0:32Speaker 2: naming Penn Station because everybody's talking about it being named
- 0:36Speaker 2: Trump's station. And then again, I don't want to step
- 0:39Speaker 2: on your idea, but let me just say this is brilliant.
- 0:43Speaker 3: Well what happened because Natalie Migliori, she comes in every morning,
- 0:47Speaker 3: we brainstorm what are you gonna go down into the
- 0:49Speaker 3: streets and ask people about and then bring it back
- 0:51Speaker 3: into the streets for the eight fifty four segment and
- 0:55Speaker 3: she says, well, you know they want to change the
- 0:57Speaker 3: name of Penn Station, and she's correct. Transportation Secretary Sean
- 1:01Speaker 3: Duffy said, we're paying the bill, mean the FEDS for
- 1:05Speaker 3: redoing Penn Station eight billion. They don't want involvement of
- 1:09Speaker 3: the MTA, they don't want involvement in New Jersey Transit
- 1:12Speaker 3: Long Island. No, no, no, it's our baby. And they have
- 1:15Speaker 3: Andy Byfort in charge. Remember the MTA guy that everybody
- 1:19Speaker 3: the CRMO got rid of from. Yes, but man, he
- 1:24Speaker 3: knows transportation so great. So right away the assumption is
- 1:29Speaker 3: that they'd want to name it for Trump.
- 1:32Speaker 1: I don't think so.
- 1:33Speaker 3: I think there are enough things that are going to
- 1:35Speaker 3: be named after Donald Trump before he leaves office at
- 1:39Speaker 3: the end of his term.
- 1:41Speaker 1: So let's be a little creative here.
- 1:44Speaker 3: And I said to myself, we're always subsidizing Amtrak, the
- 1:48Speaker 3: new improved US seller versus the old Northeast Regional line,
- 1:53Speaker 3: and then obviously other services that Amtrak does around the country.
- 1:57Speaker 3: Sell the naming rights. What the hell? Oh, man, I
- 2:00Speaker 3: want to get off the hook. We subsidize Amtrak all
- 2:04Speaker 3: the time. They never make their budget. You know, it's
- 2:08Speaker 3: always in the red. You know, to be in the
- 2:12Speaker 3: epicenter of the gateway to the world, New York City,
- 2:15Speaker 3: Penn Station next to Madison Square Garden, Boy.
- 2:19Speaker 1: How much do you think those naming rights can go?
- 2:21Speaker 1: I'll tell you what.
- 2:21Speaker 2: As soon as you thought of the idea, I went
- 2:24Speaker 2: to Google. Of course, I went to AI and wanted
- 2:26Speaker 2: to find out exactly how much the stadium naming rights
- 2:30Speaker 2: are going for because that's where the big money is
- 2:32Speaker 2: in the stadiums. I think this would bring in more money.
- 2:35Speaker 2: So to give you an idea, MetLife Stadium is seventeen
- 2:40Speaker 2: million a year. That's how much they eat. Seventeen million
- 2:43Speaker 2: every single single year. But in Los Angeles I didn't
- 2:48Speaker 2: even know what.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Was called this.
- 2:49Speaker 2: The Crypto com Arena just had the biggest deal ever
- 2:54Speaker 2: twenty years, seven hundred million dollars thirty five five million
- 3:00Speaker 2: dollars a year for the naming rights and every year
- 3:05Speaker 2: you get a thirty five million check. So listen, Penn
- 3:10Speaker 2: stationed a billion? Could it bringing a billion over twenty
- 3:14Speaker 2: years easily? And probably more because it's New York City. Now,
- 3:18Speaker 2: I think also the first stop is going to be Newark, Right,
- 3:22Speaker 2: that's Penn Station. You're not gonna get to the same
- 3:24Speaker 2: amount of money in Newark then Philly. But you told
- 3:26Speaker 2: me that Philly is not Penn Station.
- 3:29Speaker 3: I always assume, Hey, the headquarters William Penn is right there.
- 3:34Speaker 1: City. No, it had a dull name.
- 3:36Speaker 2: It was thirtieth Street Station, and now it's named William
- 3:41Speaker 2: Gray the third thirtieth.
- 3:43Speaker 3: Street STA actually long term congressman there right exactly, and
- 3:46Speaker 3: nobody calls it that. Okay, next stop Baltimore, No, No,
- 3:51Speaker 3: actually Wilmington, No, no Baltimore for no Wilmington.
- 3:56Speaker 1: I would have thought that was renamed the Joe Biden I.
- 3:59Speaker 3: Know, I just that's all that they did. Yeah, it's
- 4:01Speaker 3: Joe Biden. But nobody says that. They just say Wilmington.
- 4:04Speaker 3: And then of course Baltimore, which is a real dive
- 4:07Speaker 3: of a station. I think that's still Penn Station. And Washington,
- 4:10Speaker 3: DC they call that Penn Station.
- 4:12Speaker 2: Where's the problem in buying the naming rights? In New York,
- 4:15Speaker 2: everybody's still gonna call it Penn Station.
- 4:17Speaker 3: Fine, it's like RFK Bridge, No Triborough Bridge, Hormo Bridge, right,
- 4:24Speaker 3: it's still tapping Z Bridge.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Fine, we need the money. I'm tired of paying for Amtrak.
- 4:29Speaker 3: But the name will be up there. That's tremendous advertising.
- 4:34Speaker 3: You know, it'll be on the tickets exactly, and people
- 4:36Speaker 3: will say, well, you catching your train. You know, some
- 4:39Speaker 3: will say Penn Station out of habit. I'm telling you,
- 4:42Speaker 3: this is a way to raise revenue. Andy Piford, if
- 4:46Speaker 3: you happen to be listening out there, you lie me,
- 4:48Speaker 3: buying me. It's a brilliant idea so that you take
- 4:51Speaker 3: the taxpayers off the hook because Amtrak is always in
- 4:54Speaker 3: the red, always in the red.
- 4:56Speaker 2: I think the guy that you have to convince is
- 4:58Speaker 2: Donald Trump.
- 4:59Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's got to be willing to accuse himself
- 5:02Speaker 3: and say this is one edifice that will not have
- 5:05Speaker 3: my name on my way out. Yeah, that's where it
- 5:07Speaker 3: runs into a roadblock.
- 5:09Speaker 2: It was a nice idea where it while it lasted
- 5:12Speaker 2: for those oh those ten.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Minutes, we'll see at eight forty five nextumey eight fifty
- 5:16Speaker 3: four the reaction that Natalie Migliori gets in the street.
- 5:19Speaker 3: She's going to be soliciting those same comments from average
- 5:22Speaker 3: everyday folks and then bringing them up to all of us. Now.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Meantime, I guess it.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Let me get people in on this because I'd love
- 5:29Speaker 2: to hear from them. First for Curtis's idea, great idea,
- 5:33Speaker 2: isn't it? Talk about that for a second. Secondly, would
- 5:36Speaker 2: you like Penn station to be named Trump Station or
- 5:39Speaker 2: not Trump Station? What would you like it to be named?
- 5:42Speaker 2: So you go to the iHeartRadio app and leave us
- 5:44Speaker 2: a talk back and you could win, and we've given
- 5:47Speaker 2: a lot of these out now you could win a
- 5:49Speaker 2: curtessly win Larry Menti in the Morning t shirt if
- 5:52Speaker 2: you were awarded with the talkback of the morning. And
- 5:55Speaker 2: by the way, while you're on the free iHeartRadio app,
- 5:57Speaker 2: be sure to set a preset for seven ten and
- 6:01Speaker 2: don't forget the best talk back of the week takes
- 6:04Speaker 2: on the Seacrane Radio. Seacrane radios that work when it
- 6:07Speaker 2: matters mostly now.
- 6:08Speaker 3: You remember across from Penn Station in Madison Square Garden,
- 6:12Speaker 3: the old central post office there. It was converted to
- 6:15Speaker 3: the moynihan Training Station by Andrew Como. It now serves
- 6:19Speaker 3: as the Amtrak link. They can keep the homeless people
- 6:23Speaker 3: out of there, but not out of the Penn Station.
- 6:27Speaker 3: Goolag I call it. But that was the biggest post
- 6:31Speaker 3: office in New York. You know you'd be online from
- 6:34Speaker 3: month to Sundays. But what do they always say, through rain, snow, sleet, hurricane,
- 6:41Speaker 3: dark of knight, Dark of Knight, the mail Guy's always
- 6:45Speaker 3: going to be there. And there was a story that
- 6:47Speaker 3: Natalie had referred to us about how men and women
- 6:51Speaker 3: of the Postal Service now have a trick to avoid
- 6:55Speaker 3: when they come to your mailbox. It's mostly in suburban areas,
- 6:58Speaker 3: you know, where your mailbox is out here the roadside
- 7:00Speaker 3: or not far from your home, where they put something
- 7:03Speaker 3: in there and to make sure they're not gonna bit
- 7:05Speaker 3: be bit by bees or wasps when they open it
- 7:08Speaker 3: up to either deposit mail in or as you point
- 7:11Speaker 3: it out, Larry, actually pick up your mail that is
- 7:13Speaker 3: going out.
- 7:14Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what it is. It's bounce. That's what
- 7:17Speaker 2: most people call it, because bounce is the number one Chris,
- 7:23Speaker 2: what what is the what is the term for bounce?
- 7:25Speaker 1: Is a trade name?
- 7:26Speaker 2: Bounce is a name of one of these things. But
- 7:29Speaker 2: it's a dryer sheet, a dryer a tryer sheet. Yeah,
- 7:32Speaker 2: but that bounce is the one that sells the most.
- 7:35Speaker 2: So what is the dryer sheet do?
- 7:36Speaker 3: If you're a wasp or a bee and you're like
- 7:39Speaker 3: hiding in there because I can't understand why it's cool
- 7:42Speaker 3: it's dark, uh, and then naturally you open it up
- 7:46Speaker 3: and boof out they come and attack the mail guy.
- 7:49Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna find out.
- 7:51Speaker 3: And by the way, that's a nemesis to them. But
- 7:54Speaker 3: the biggest nemesis of all is dogs. I've talking to
- 7:58Speaker 3: mail carrier after mail CA, many of them who retired
- 8:01Speaker 3: after like thirty five forty years of service work in
- 8:04Speaker 3: the shame route, knowing all their customers getting tips during
- 8:08Speaker 3: the Christmas season because it was so good at providing
- 8:12Speaker 3: extra service. And they would say, Curtis without a doubt.
- 8:15Speaker 3: Dogs don't for some reason, they look into his uniform
- 8:19Speaker 3: and he go absolutely out of their minds. She gets
- 8:22Speaker 3: psychotic and they want to tear you limb from limb.
- 8:25Speaker 2: I'll tell you what you're on Amazon, right, you get
- 8:29Speaker 2: Amazon a lot. I don't get it. Nancy, she's the
- 8:32Speaker 2: Amazon coin. So she's the one that's gonna get the
- 8:34Speaker 2: text then all the time, because you get a text
- 8:36Speaker 2: saying your Amazon driver is now five houses away. Please
- 8:41Speaker 2: secure your dog if you have one. And that's a
- 8:44Speaker 2: standard now I get that all the time. By the way,
- 8:46Speaker 2: I have an answer to your question. Strong scented dryer
- 8:50Speaker 2: sheets can deter bees and wasps because they dislike the
- 8:55Speaker 2: heavy floral or chemical odors, which is why post workers
- 9:00Speaker 2: sometimes tuck them into mailboxes to prevent stinging insects.
- 9:04Speaker 3: So they'll do it on their own. They're not expecting
- 9:06Speaker 3: you to buy it. And put it in your own mailbox.
- 9:09Speaker 1: They do it.
- 9:09Speaker 3: And this is like the guy who uses too much
- 9:13Speaker 3: Hi karate old spice, you know I call a tilet
- 9:16Speaker 3: word or a woman with that cheap knockoff chanel number five.
- 9:20Speaker 3: I'm sure that would scare away the wasp and the
- 9:23Speaker 3: beast too if you put that in there.
- 9:25Speaker 1: You know you doused it in there. Yeah.
- 9:27Speaker 2: I wonder if anybody else you know what for the talkbacks,
- 9:29Speaker 2: if you have tricks about how to keep some animals
- 9:32Speaker 2: or passed out of your house, aside from like chemicals
- 9:35Speaker 2: or aside from hiring, somebody would love to hear about it.
- 9:39Speaker 2: Also would love to hear about what we were just
- 9:42Speaker 2: talking about moment ago. Them naming rights. Just go to
- 9:45Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app and leave us a talkback. We're going
- 9:47Speaker 2: to be playing them in the next segment.
- 9:49Speaker 3: Oh, I guess what I was out there on patrol
- 9:53Speaker 3: this morning. You know I'm nocturnal. I'm after those mailbox
- 9:56Speaker 3: bandits who put a belt down into that little slit
- 10:00Speaker 3: that they have now which has like the rat glue
- 10:03Speaker 3: you know you used to catch rats and mice on
- 10:05Speaker 3: both sides, and then they lift the mail out third time.
- 10:08Speaker 1: I caught him.
- 10:08Speaker 3: I had been to the twentieth pree Sinct in the
- 10:10Speaker 3: West Side. He said, what do you want us to do?
- 10:12Speaker 3: We got their photos, we know who they are. I said, yeah,
- 10:15Speaker 3: I want you to stop it. Can't do it. So
- 10:19Speaker 3: now I'm climbing the ladder. You remember when we were kids,
- 10:22Speaker 3: we were told that's a federal crime. You could be
- 10:25Speaker 3: up there in the ten most wanted FBI pictures that
- 10:28Speaker 3: they used to have your local post office. My uncles
- 10:30Speaker 3: would tell me, if they catch you steal and mail,
- 10:33Speaker 3: better to rob a bank than steal mail. Now I
- 10:36Speaker 3: gotta climb the ladder, Larry. I'm not getting no help
- 10:38Speaker 3: from the cops, the US Postal Inspectors. You know they
- 10:42Speaker 3: have arm pols. I'm gonna get action one way or
- 10:45Speaker 3: the other, but you know, three times to charm if
- 10:49Speaker 3: I got to take care of business my way.
- 10:52Speaker 1: Oh boy, you may be coming in here in the morning.
- 10:56Speaker 3: Find out Curtis's been arrested for assault and battery of
- 11:00Speaker 3: male theaters.
- 11:01Speaker 1: Look it's coming to that. It's New York. They'll let
- 11:03Speaker 1: you right out. You'll make the shure that's right out.
- 11:05Speaker 1: He'll be fine fifteen minutes. Don't worry about it at all.
- 11:10Speaker 3: Hey, when we come back, it's one of the worst
- 11:13Speaker 3: things that happened on flights.
- 11:15Speaker 2: It is so annoying. And now finally you can kick
- 11:22Speaker 2: off a passenger from a flight if they do this.
- 11:25Speaker 2: So we'll tell you what it is when we come back.
- 11:30Speaker 2: And oh boy, you talk about all the problems you have.
- 11:33Speaker 2: It's businessman, business woman.
- 11:35Speaker 3: Let's just look at all this extreme weather that we've
- 11:37Speaker 3: all experienced. You have businesses. All of a sudden, Oh
- 11:41Speaker 3: my god, the electricity went off, spoilage, the heat, destroy
- 11:46Speaker 3: the new roof. I need a new roof from the
- 11:48Speaker 3: downpours the heat to the any number of things, and
- 11:51Speaker 3: you want to know, Hey, hey, hey, where's my broker.
- 11:53Speaker 3: I need to know if it's carried in any of
- 11:55Speaker 3: these insurance policies that he bamboozled me into buying. Try

- 12:49Speaker 1: Now the curtas you're.
- 12:50Speaker 2: Always flying around going across the country, either to give
- 12:53Speaker 2: a speech somewhere or with the Guardian Angels when you're
- 12:57Speaker 2: setting up in a new city. The most annoying things
- 13:01Speaker 2: on a flight always is somebody that designs that. Because
- 13:08Speaker 2: now all of the phones are hooked up so you
- 13:11Speaker 2: can make phone calls, you can watch TikTok videos, you
- 13:14Speaker 2: can listen people that do that without a headset. Is
- 13:18Speaker 2: really unbelievably annoying. Well, United Airlines has just put it
- 13:25Speaker 2: on the list of things where you can get kicked
- 13:28Speaker 2: off a flight, so obviously you can't do it while
- 13:32Speaker 2: you're in the air. But if you're listening beforehand and
- 13:36Speaker 2: you're not using a headphone, you will be asked to
- 13:38Speaker 2: use a headphone. They'll give you one. Listen to this.
- 13:42Speaker 2: United Airlines is going to be hooked up to Starlink now,
- 13:45Speaker 2: so they'll have Bluetooth and the the headphones will be
- 13:49Speaker 2: Bluetooth headphones, so everybody, no one will have an excuse anymore.
- 13:54Speaker 2: And so they put it in there with intoxication, with
- 13:57Speaker 2: not having the proper vaccination, if you're a foreigner, all
- 14:01Speaker 2: of those things. This is now on that list of
- 14:05Speaker 2: you can't fly. And by the way, if you get
- 14:07Speaker 2: caught in mid flight, you won't you'll be put on
- 14:09Speaker 2: a list so you can't get on another flight with
- 14:11Speaker 2: United Airlines. So they're taking this very seriously, and thank god,
- 14:15Speaker 2: because it's one of the most annoying things ever. Have
- 14:19Speaker 2: you run into this, Yes.
- 14:20Speaker 3: But I'm a little immune going back to my days.
- 14:23Speaker 3: You remember when I started the Guardian Angels in the
- 14:25Speaker 3: subways and people would be blasting their boomboxes and actually
- 14:31Speaker 3: I would walk up to them and say you like
- 14:33Speaker 3: that boombox? Yeah, f you, and then they turn it
- 14:37Speaker 3: up louder. Then I'd wrestle with them for the boom box.
- 14:40Speaker 3: I would open the side window, which you could do,
- 14:42Speaker 3: throw it out in the tunnel, smash it to smith
- 14:44Speaker 3: areens and said, what are you gonna do about that? Now?
- 14:46Speaker 1: I realize you can't do that on a flight.
- 14:48Speaker 2: No, a lot of things, a lot of other things,
- 14:52Speaker 2: including passengers would fly out as well.
- 14:54Speaker 3: There's no more Spirit airlines where that would be tolerated.
- 14:57Speaker 3: That would just be the norm. So you're right, I'm
- 15:00Speaker 3: a little immune to it, but I've seen people complain
- 15:02Speaker 3: about it. It's got Yeah, there should be a whole
- 15:06Speaker 3: laundry list. Another thing is smelly people. If you walk
- 15:10Speaker 3: in and you're like slab slaminski and you shtink, you know,
- 15:14Speaker 3: I don't care. It's circulating the air. There's no way
- 15:17Speaker 3: you're gonna get.
- 15:18Speaker 1: Way of that.
- 15:19Speaker 3: This should be a sniff test sometimes. If somebody doesn't
- 15:21Speaker 3: pass the sniff test when they're asking for your tickets,
- 15:25Speaker 3: think about how embarrassing that would be. Sir, You're not
- 15:28Speaker 3: able to fly on this flight today unless you go
- 15:31Speaker 3: shower real quickly, or maybe what should they give them
- 15:34Speaker 3: like a roll of band while they're in there. That
- 15:38Speaker 3: actually makes it worse. That's like putting on that cheap
- 15:41Speaker 3: perfume or that high karate, you know. So, yeah, there
- 15:45Speaker 3: should be a whole laundry list of things that before
- 15:49Speaker 3: you even board that flight.
- 15:50Speaker 1: You better be aware or you're gonna be dragged off
- 15:53Speaker 1: that flight.
- 15:54Speaker 2: All right, let's get this some talk backs, you know.
- 15:56Speaker 2: The first one is about the story that you were
- 15:59Speaker 2: doing about the dryer sheets being put in to scare
- 16:03Speaker 2: some of the insects away.
- 16:05Speaker 4: Good morning, Larry and Curtis. My gardener friend told me,
- 16:11Speaker 4: you get a bar of Irish spring, you shave off trunks,
- 16:16Speaker 4: do it and throw around your garden, especially if you're
- 16:19Speaker 4: growing vegetables and around plants, to keep the deer away.
- 16:25Speaker 1: I thought he was joking.
- 16:27Speaker 4: Actually tried it and it did keep the deer away.
- 16:31Speaker 5: Have a great day, guys.
- 16:32Speaker 2: I'm going to order Irish spring right now. That is
- 16:35Speaker 2: a great suggestion. Why am I what? I've tried everything,
- 16:40Speaker 2: nothing works. I'd be really upset if it was this simple,
- 16:43Speaker 2: because I've spent a lot of money.
- 16:45Speaker 1: You tried to keep the deer away. Skunk smell, You've
- 16:48Speaker 1: used them all right?
- 16:49Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the flashing lights that go on when they
- 16:52Speaker 2: get close.
- 16:53Speaker 1: They don't care. They don't care.
- 16:54Speaker 2: They are like Agent Orange with hoofs. Oh, They're just they.
- 16:58Speaker 2: They have made home in my backyard. Now they lay there.
- 17:00Speaker 2: They know me, my name. I mean, it's really getting
- 17:03Speaker 2: embarrassing at this point.
- 17:04Speaker 5: It's their home, guys. I have the perfect name. And
- 17:08Speaker 5: it'll bring in billions every year to uh Penn Station.
- 17:13Speaker 5: When don't we call it Honeybun Station?
- 17:17Speaker 3: Honeybun Station? Oh boy, I'd be living there as a
- 17:21Speaker 3: homeless person. I'm so obsessed with them. And by the way, yesterday,

- 17:41Speaker 3: we didn't have enough in the vending machine. Right, yeah,
- 17:44Speaker 3: I do want to talk about this later. Because you
- 17:45Speaker 3: tried to kill Elvis. That was a bad move, very bad.

- 18:21Speaker 6: to stabbings on the Upper west Side minutes apart, now
- 18:24Speaker 6: being investigated as possible hate crimes. Police say the suspect,
- 18:27Speaker 6: Roel Morales shouted pro Islamic statements before both of the attacks.
- 18:31Speaker 6: The victims are expected to survive. At least a dozen
- 18:35Speaker 6: more Upper East Side buildings have tested positive for Legionella bacteria,
- 18:39Speaker 6: which can cause legioneer's disease and not bad medicine. But
- 18:43Speaker 6: good medicine is probably what John bon Jovi could use now,
- 18:46Speaker 6: maybe some decongestant. The rock Icon had to cut short

- 21:00Speaker 1: Well.
- 21:01Speaker 3: Madison, Wisconsin, best known for the university, but a very liberal,
- 21:07Speaker 3: progressive and radical city. To begin with, is the scene
- 21:11Speaker 3: of a police shooting. You've probably seen it over and
- 21:14Speaker 3: over and over and over about four cops confronting this guy.
- 21:18Speaker 3: His name is Cory Ruiz, he's thirty eight. In the
- 21:22Speaker 3: last ten years, he's had a series of situations that
- 21:27Speaker 3: have involved him being arrested from assaulting cops drug charges,
- 21:34Speaker 3: violating all kinds of sanctions. He's a homeless guy, but
- 21:40Speaker 3: he got killed and man, immediately the call has gone up.
- 21:46Speaker 3: Everybody got to come to Madison. This is George Floyd two.
- 21:50Speaker 3: So they're beating the drums. They want this to be
- 21:53Speaker 3: a situation that is out of control. I can only
- 21:56Speaker 3: tell you that a lot of experience in Madison. I
- 21:58Speaker 3: have guardian angels in Adson. It is a liberal, progressive
- 22:02Speaker 3: police department. They developed de escalation out to get to
- 22:06Speaker 3: that in a moment. But here's the police commissioner, Very
- 22:08Speaker 3: Meek and mild John Patterson describing at police headquarters what
- 22:14Speaker 3: it transpired during the struggle.
- 22:18Speaker 7: The man, we're told, pulled out a knife or produced
- 22:22Speaker 7: a knife, fixed blade knife, and an officer was injured
- 22:26Speaker 7: by this while attempting to arrest him.
- 22:29Speaker 3: Okay, now he continues to give the facts and then
- 22:33Speaker 3: he's interrupted by demonstrators in police headquarters.
- 22:39Speaker 7: The thinness of trust in the city right now did
- 22:41Speaker 7: not start.
- 22:42Speaker 8: Hope, can this down, You can stop talking because we
- 22:45Speaker 8: don't want to hear anything you've been.
- 22:46Speaker 3: Saying, so we're gonna shut you down. And then this
- 22:50Speaker 3: Jackal Carlos Jackson, well known rebel Routs represents the group,
- 22:56Speaker 3: all power to the people, takes the microphone from the
- 23:01Speaker 3: police commissioner.
- 23:02Speaker 1: There are cops standing round, they don't do.
- 23:04Speaker 3: Anything, they move away, and then he starts ranting and raving.
- 23:08Speaker 8: We've seen the camps, we've seen it was a knife
- 23:11Speaker 8: in this young man's hands. We don't want to hear
- 23:14Speaker 8: that today. We didn't want to hear it when they
- 23:16Speaker 8: put their neck on torch Floyd's night, we don't. They're
- 23:19Speaker 8: foot them on towards Flord's Day, and we don't want
- 23:21Speaker 8: to hear it today.
- 23:23Speaker 1: Wow.
- 23:23Speaker 3: And then he starts ranting and railing about corrupt cops, revolutions,
- 23:28Speaker 3: Zioness and all that. He's got a woman behind him,
- 23:31Speaker 3: a black woman. She got the big sign of corrupt
- 23:34Speaker 3: cops deserve to die. And then one that proves she
- 23:37Speaker 3: probably didn't graduate high school. It says, f you kill Patterson.
- 23:43Speaker 3: Now I'm assuming she's calling for the execution of the
- 23:46Speaker 3: police commission. Couldn't be more meekal mind. He gives over
- 23:49Speaker 3: the microphone to this rabble, and the other cops tried
- 23:53Speaker 3: to come up, and he said, no, no, no, it's okay,
- 23:54Speaker 3: it's all right. Let them talk. Yeah, let them talk meantime.
- 23:58Speaker 3: You heard the magic words George Floyd. George Floyd. So
- 24:04Speaker 3: radicals who remember what it was like in Minneapolis, days
- 24:08Speaker 3: and days and days that then spread throughout the country,
- 24:12Speaker 3: a summer of George Floyd twenty twenty. I'll never forget it.
- 24:15Speaker 3: I got my jaw broken by Antifa. Yes, it's not
- 24:18Speaker 3: a theory, Joe Biden and Gerald Nidler, it's real. Well,
- 24:22Speaker 3: they're all coming and they all started demonstrating last night.
- 24:26Speaker 3: You know, they laid the flowers just like George Floyd Square.
- 24:29Speaker 3: They're gonna have in this case a Cory Ruiz Square
- 24:34Speaker 3: and guests who showed up at night landing in Madison
- 24:38Speaker 3: Airport private jet. Ben Crump, now Ben Crump is the lawyer,
- 24:45Speaker 3: the designated lawyer for Auslam Shady Shockkon, who was always
- 24:48Speaker 3: the family advisor. They were right in Birmingham earlier in
- 24:52Speaker 3: the day about that Wells case. You know that young
- 24:55Speaker 3: black man who was with his friends, his white friends.
- 24:58Speaker 3: Remember they took a boat out one island in Alabama.
- 25:01Speaker 3: He said, ah, I'm gonna stay here. Apparently he had
- 25:04Speaker 3: a girl with him and the white guys left him. Unfortunately,
- 25:08Speaker 3: he was found like two days later dead on the beach,
- 25:12Speaker 3: so sharped in and Ben Crump representing the family as
- 25:16Speaker 3: saying something very nefarious here.
- 25:18Speaker 1: So they had their own corner, you know, they were
- 25:20Speaker 1: on independent corner.
- 25:21Speaker 3: They released it in the morning results which didn't follow their line.
- 25:25Speaker 3: So guess what. That case may have gone cold. There's
- 25:29Speaker 3: a new case in Madison. I anticipate this weekend. You
- 25:34Speaker 3: know who's coming in to stir the pot.
- 25:38Speaker 2: Absolutely listen. In these cases, facts matter, I mean it doesn't.
- 25:43Speaker 2: It doesn't diminish the emotion of the moment. And you're right,
- 25:47Speaker 2: there are people that take advantage of these moments. Boy,
- 25:50Speaker 2: if they just had body cameras on, if they had
- 25:53Speaker 2: bought none of them had body cameras on, if any
- 25:55Speaker 2: of them had body cameras on, that could quell this
- 25:58Speaker 2: situation immediately. But now they're going to have an investigation.
- 26:03Speaker 2: And so while they have an investigation, and they better
- 26:07Speaker 2: do it quickly. While they have an investigation, all this
- 26:11Speaker 2: is going to stir up. All this anger is going
- 26:14Speaker 2: to stir up. And here's what we have to watch for,
- 26:19Speaker 2: because this won't be George Floyd. If the media doesn't
- 26:24Speaker 2: show up, if they don't show up in mess like
- 26:28Speaker 2: they did in Minneapolis twice now, both with the Ice
- 26:31Speaker 2: situation and with George Floyd. The media when they show up,
- 26:36Speaker 2: and especially because most of them are biased to the
- 26:39Speaker 2: left and nobody wants to annoy the protesters, they are going.
- 26:45Speaker 1: To be pro.
- 26:48Speaker 2: Victim, which they're going to be an anti police, there's
- 26:51Speaker 2: no question. And so they might just be stirring this
- 26:54Speaker 2: thing up until where it gets out of hand. Where
- 26:58Speaker 2: right now, right now, now, if you look at the
- 27:00Speaker 2: facts of it, you have a victim that stabbed the
- 27:06Speaker 2: police officer and so and then they ran after him
- 27:09Speaker 2: and they throw him to the ground, and we don't
- 27:12Speaker 2: know what the struggle was at that point. We would
- 27:14Speaker 2: know if we had body cameras. I'm sure they're going
- 27:16Speaker 2: to get all the cameras. You can see the stories
- 27:18Speaker 2: in the area. They're gonna get all the cameras from there.
- 27:21Speaker 2: But facts matter and things like this. By the way,
- 27:24Speaker 2: the man that was killed has been arrested forty times, yes,
- 27:28Speaker 2: for both misdemeanors and felony.
- 27:30Speaker 3: Credicate predigate offender. In fact, it was people who call
- 27:33Speaker 3: the police there because he was breaking into cars and
- 27:36Speaker 3: then he hears the cops are coming, and he gets
- 27:39Speaker 3: on his bicycle, tries to flee this around him and
- 27:42Speaker 3: then the confrontation. Look, they took over the police headquarters yesterday.
- 27:48Speaker 3: Remember we saw that in Minneapolis the summer of Floyd.
- 27:51Speaker 3: And then the next thing they torched it Seattle, the
- 27:53Speaker 3: same thing.
- 27:54Speaker 1: Remember they took off.
- 27:56Speaker 3: Don't put it past them trying to recreate the summer
- 27:59Speaker 3: of twenty twenty and take police headquarters and maybe god forbid,
- 28:04Speaker 3: try to burn it down to get everybody agitated.
- 28:08Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple of things.
- 28:09Speaker 3: I mean, listen, you know, Trump's the president now, and
- 28:12Speaker 3: I think that matters because I don't think that he
- 28:15Speaker 3: would put up with what happened, you know, with what
- 28:18Speaker 3: happened the last time. I think he will send in
- 28:21Speaker 3: people if he has to, to quell it, to quell
- 28:23Speaker 3: the situation. But let's just listen, we're getting way ahead
- 28:27Speaker 3: of ourselves. Let's wait and see. Let's wait and see
- 28:29Speaker 3: what happens. Madison's not as quite as big as Minneapolis.
- 28:33Speaker 3: It's a decent size, but not as quite as big
- 28:35Speaker 3: as Mini. Well, recap it in the nine because they
- 28:37Speaker 3: are late breaking details up next. Some people want to
- 28:41Speaker 3: make this a huge crime story. Other people are saying, hey,
- 28:45Speaker 3: let's look at all the facts. As you said, Larry,
- 28:48Speaker 3: on the Upper West Side where I live, the man
- 28:50Speaker 3: who stabbed too one, who was a Jewish guy coming
- 28:53Speaker 3: out of a synagogue as he was screaming, alu aklar,
- 28:57Speaker 3: alu aklar. Up next, Oh, wait to say and up next.
- 29:02Speaker 3: We have to talk to you about the theft of mail.
- 29:06Speaker 3: We talked about that, theft of packages, We talked about that.
- 29:09Speaker 3: What about you're at work and your phone buzzes and
- 29:13Speaker 3: it's your kid's number and it's your kid's voice panics
- 29:16Speaker 3: saying he's been in an accident and needs money.
- 29:19Speaker 1: Right away, and you don'pe. You go out and you
- 29:22Speaker 1: do what you have to do.
- 29:23Speaker 3: You're gonna do anything for your kids and grandchildren, and
- 29:26Speaker 3: you get scammed. Here's the play. Criminals buy your phone
- 29:30Speaker 3: number and your family details from data broke because then
- 29:33Speaker 3: they grab three seconds of your kid's voice off of video,
- 29:36Speaker 3: easy to do. They clone it with AI and make
- 29:38Speaker 3: that call. Guess what, that's all legal getting that stuff.
- 29:41Speaker 3: You can't stop them from cloning your voyage, but you
- 29:44Speaker 3: can make sure they never get your number in the
- 29:46Speaker 3: first place. That's done within Cogny. Write this down. I
- 29:50Speaker 3: n cog Ni a trusted website you can use to
- 29:54Speaker 3: put data brokers on notice they cannot sell your data.
- 29:58Speaker 1: Look I rely on it.
- 30:00Speaker 3: Should rely on it too, because even once it's gone,
- 30:03Speaker 3: they play whack a mole finding out where it emerges again,
- 30:07Speaker 3: and then let them know it's gotta go. It costs

- 30:25Speaker 1: Larry. The big local crime story in New York City
- 30:29Speaker 1: occurred in.
- 30:30Speaker 3: My backyard, the upper west side, right by Central Park.
- 30:34Speaker 3: One thirty in the afternoon yesterday. A lot of people
- 30:37Speaker 3: are out, so it's at West eighty fourth and Central
- 30:41Speaker 3: Park West, highly traffic department buildings one side, Central Park
- 30:45Speaker 3: the other side, and a guy who's later identified is
- 30:49Speaker 3: fifty one year old Raoul Morales takes a knife and
- 30:54Speaker 3: stabs an Asian man in the back. It's almost like
- 30:57Speaker 3: a scene out of a movie as he goes as
- 31:00Speaker 3: he crumples down to his knees. The Asian guy, the
- 31:03Speaker 3: knife is protruding out of his back. People were in
- 31:06Speaker 3: a panic. They're trying to help them. The doormen are
- 31:08Speaker 3: running up, you know, the cops come, the ems comes.
- 31:13Speaker 3: While everybody is focused on that, he walks over near
- 31:18Speaker 3: eighty sixth and Amsterdam. There's a huge Jewish sena there.
- 31:23Speaker 3: Men and women are going in all day long. Many
- 31:25Speaker 3: of them are saying a daily prayer. And one of
- 31:28Speaker 3: them happened to be a fifty year old Jewish man
- 31:31Speaker 3: who was stabbed by this same guy, who, according to eyewitnesses,
- 31:36Speaker 3: screamed out alu akhar, alu akhbar, and then he left
- 31:42Speaker 3: to the Nighter building. He lives in with a roommate
- 31:46Speaker 3: on West eighty ninth and Amsterdam on the eleventh floor.
- 31:49Speaker 3: And credit goes to a UPS guy who was doing
- 31:52Speaker 3: his deliveries who saw the second stabbing of the Jewish
- 31:55Speaker 3: guy and then followed him to the Nicher project called
- 31:58Speaker 3: the police and they were able to nab him. Credit
- 32:01Speaker 3: goes to Jessica Tish, a police commissioner who, as you know,
- 32:06Speaker 3: I don't credit all that much, Larry, but she said
- 32:10Speaker 3: let's be cool, calm and collected. We're investigating it as
- 32:14Speaker 3: a hate crime, maybe an anti Semitic attack to the
- 32:17Speaker 3: second victim. But this guy may just be an emotionally
- 32:21Speaker 3: disturbed guy from the neighborhood.
- 32:23Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're right. The first person was Asian.
- 32:26Speaker 2: Is that correct?
- 32:27Speaker 1: Asian?
- 32:27Speaker 2: First person's Asian, And apparently he shouted alo akbar with
- 32:31Speaker 2: the first person as well, the Asian guy, according to
- 32:34Speaker 2: the police commissioner.
- 32:36Speaker 1: So it is odd that a guy.
- 32:39Speaker 2: Named Raoul Morales would yell alo akbar in going after
- 32:44Speaker 2: an Asian guy.
- 32:45Speaker 3: Sometimes happens. I've known Hispanics and African Americans who converted.
- 32:50Speaker 3: Sometimes happens. But let's see where this investigation goes. This
- 32:54Speaker 3: is not like, you know, a covert operation. You know,
- 32:58Speaker 3: he's easily identifiable. I talked to people in the streets,
- 33:01Speaker 3: I know them all there, and they said he's strange.
- 33:05Speaker 1: Now you know how many.
- 33:06Speaker 3: People who are hoam around the Upper West Side are
- 33:08Speaker 3: described as being strange. He's not an almost guy. He
- 33:12Speaker 3: has a place that he lives, and he's not on
- 33:15Speaker 3: their radar. That's what's also interesting about it. They don't
- 33:18Speaker 3: really have him on anything, and they said, he has
- 33:21Speaker 3: no history of mental health problems. So this is really
- 33:27Speaker 3: a mystery. I mean, there's so much to it that
- 33:30Speaker 3: on its face doesn't make sense. And so this is what,
- 33:34Speaker 3: by the way, people are afraid of all the time,
- 33:36Speaker 3: somebody that is not on your radar, that you don't
- 33:39Speaker 3: know about, your not watching, and all of a sudden
- 33:42Speaker 3: they snap and go on an attack for whatever reason.
- 33:46Speaker 3: It sure does sound like this is hate motivated. Whether
- 33:50Speaker 3: he is a follower of Muslim or not of Islamers,
- 33:54Speaker 3: some guy was on a mission to kill infidels. Obviously
- 33:59Speaker 3: the ages he's not a Jew an infidel albar.
- 34:02Speaker 1: Let's see where the investigation goes.
- 34:04Speaker 3: But is that enough? I mean, if he just yelled,
- 34:10Speaker 3: I'll ock bar. I'm not musclim obvious. If he did
- 34:16Speaker 3: yell that, then is that enough? I don't know, because
- 34:20Speaker 3: of his state of mind. You know, let's let's see
- 34:23Speaker 3: what the psych op determines first. That's pretty strong, though,
- 34:28Speaker 3: I mean, that's pretty strong in front of a in
- 34:29Speaker 3: front of a jewey, that's a that's a strong thing
- 34:31Speaker 3: to say.
- 34:32Speaker 2: No matter what the defense is.
- 34:33Speaker 1: There's no doubt.
- 34:34Speaker 3: But I prefer the approach that Jessica Tish took our
- 34:38Speaker 3: police commissioner who is Jewish yourself, rather than the speaker
- 34:42Speaker 3: of the City Councy Julie Menham, who is immediately also
- 34:46Speaker 3: Jewish yourself, screaming about anti Semitism, anti semitiny. Look, we
- 34:50Speaker 3: got plenty of it to begin with. We don't need
- 34:53Speaker 3: to create I know that some reports led with that
- 34:58Speaker 3: second attack, yeah, and didn't even mention the first attack.
- 35:02Speaker 2: I know, because that doesn't fit. But I'll tell you what,
- 35:05Speaker 2: I don't think they're going overboard. If somebody shouts alo akbar,
- 35:08Speaker 2: of course that is somehow anti semitic, and especially if
- 35:13Speaker 2: you go after a Jewish person on your second attack.
- 35:16Speaker 2: So I don't think it's going to be any surprise
- 35:18Speaker 2: when they come out and say, yes, this indeed is
- 35:21Speaker 2: a hate crime. Well, the President says, you ain't seen
- 35:26Speaker 2: nothing yet. He is promising the massive attack, the biggest
- 35:31Speaker 2: attack yet. This after thirteen straight nights of pounding Iran.
- 35:38Speaker 2: What is going to help him make his final decision
- 35:41Speaker 2: on whether there's going to be this massive attack and
- 35:44Speaker 2: what about the hoodies? A lot of questions to answer,
- 35:47Speaker 2: and we're going to be tackling it next. That's coming
- 35:50Speaker 2: up after the seven o'clock News
