Hour 2: President Trump's schedule · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: Well, we talked earlier about the Great Escape and anchor
0:03
Speaker 1: a Turkey, the President slipping out catering door, getting in
0:09
Speaker 1: a catering truck and taking a military plane when the
0:13
Speaker 1: press thought he was on Air Force one and he
0:17
Speaker 1: wasn't even there. It must be all the buzz in Washington.
0:21
Speaker 1: So let's talk to John Decker right now. Woor White
0:24
Speaker 1: House and Washington correspondent and host of the podcast The
0:28
Speaker 1: White House Briefing Room with John Decker, which can be
0:31
Speaker 1: found on the iHeartRadio app. So walk us through this, John.
0:35
Speaker 1: It's quite a story and it starts with what they
0:38
Speaker 1: believe was a serious Iranian threat.
0:41
Speaker 2: Well, that's right. So this is reporting done exclusively by
0:45
Speaker 2: the Washington Post, no pushback from the White House, so
0:48
Speaker 2: you have to imagine what is contained in that A
0:51
Speaker 2: very lengthy story is accurate. As you mentioned, the President
0:56
Speaker 2: was in NATO, as was I for the NATO summit.
1:00
Speaker 2: He was in Ancora, Turkey, and on the flight back,
1:04
Speaker 2: as you know, the President put out a social media
1:07
Speaker 2: post indicating that he would not be taking this same
1:10
Speaker 2: plane that he arrived in, that new plane that was
1:12
Speaker 2: gifted to the United States by Katar. Instead, the President
1:16
Speaker 2: wrote on social media he'd be taking the old Air
1:19
Speaker 2: Force one back. But as this story plays out, that
1:22
Speaker 2: was not the case. There was still concern about some
1:26
Speaker 2: sort of an attack coming potentially from Iran. After all,
1:31
Speaker 2: those Iranian missiles do have the ability to travel as
1:35
Speaker 2: far as Acrea, a pretty easily twenty five hundred mile range.
1:39
Speaker 2: Ankara only one thousand miles from Tehran, so you can
1:42
Speaker 2: imagine the concern by the Secret Service. And as you
1:45
Speaker 2: pointed out, Larry, there was essentially an effort that was
1:50
Speaker 2: successful to transfer the president from the plane that the
1:55
Speaker 2: press was traveling on that Air Force one old plane
1:59
Speaker 2: to do a different plane entirely, and that's how the
2:02
Speaker 2: President got from Ankara, Turkey to the UK. Pretty remarkable
2:06
Speaker 2: in terms of what was done by the Secret Service
2:09
Speaker 2: to protect the president.
2:11
Speaker 1: Absolutely remarkable. Have you been able to talk to any
2:15
Speaker 1: other members of the press corps about how they didn't
2:19
Speaker 1: know at all that the president was up there? Tell me,
2:22
Speaker 1: first of all, how that works? How would you not
2:24
Speaker 1: know he was on the plane?
2:26
Speaker 2: Well, there are oftentimes when I'll be traveling on Air
2:29
Speaker 2: Force one today and what typically happens is we are
2:33
Speaker 2: there for when the president arrives from the White House
2:36
Speaker 2: on Marine one, we see Marine one land, we see
2:39
Speaker 2: the President get off Marine one, walk from the helicopter
2:44
Speaker 2: to air Force one, walk up the steps of air
2:47
Speaker 2: Force one, and then we immediately walk up the backsteps
2:51
Speaker 2: of air Force one. And there can be instances where
2:54
Speaker 2: we do not see the President the entire flight. He
2:57
Speaker 2: does not come back and talk to us, So nothing
3:00
Speaker 2: would appear to be out of the ordinary in terms
3:02
Speaker 2: of what happened in Turkey. The fact that you know,
3:06
Speaker 2: this is exactly what happened. The press saw the President
3:09
Speaker 2: go up the steps of air Force one. The press
3:12
Speaker 2: traveling to the UK went up the back steps of
3:15
Speaker 2: air Force one. They didn't see the President during that flight,
3:18
Speaker 2: and nothing unusual. And then when we get off air
3:21
Speaker 2: Force one, we wait for the President to walk down
3:26
Speaker 2: the steps to d plane, to walk down the steps
3:28
Speaker 2: of air Force one, and that's exactly what happened in
3:31
Speaker 2: the UK. So you know, look, it's easy to do.
3:34
Speaker 2: I think the difficult part was, you know, the catering truck,
3:37
Speaker 2: as you mentioned, getting the President transferred to that catering
3:42
Speaker 2: truck which is lifted up and then lifted down, and
3:44
Speaker 2: then getting the president from there aboard the new plane
3:47
Speaker 2: which flew to the UK.
3:48
Speaker 3: So that is a very very serious situation based on
3:53
Speaker 3: a credible threat against the President's life and everyone on
3:57
Speaker 3: Air Force one accompanying him by the Iranians. But then
4:02
Speaker 3: I have to do a pivot and shift back to
4:04
Speaker 3: the reflecting pool. John Deecker. Okay, And apparently the President,
4:10
Speaker 3: who's been draged, kicking and screaming, finally went to truth
4:15
Speaker 3: social acknowledged that the blue lining peeled, the water purification
4:20
Speaker 3: failed to prevent the algae, that it wasn't slashed by vandals.
4:26
Speaker 3: There was no video approof But then after saying all
4:30
Speaker 3: that with his post, he's still on the case of
4:34
Speaker 3: David Hearn, the former olympian. Could you explain that I can't?
4:40
Speaker 3: You know.
4:41
Speaker 2: The President did put out that social media post saying
4:43
Speaker 2: that maybe some of the problems associated with the reflecting
4:46
Speaker 2: pool were caused by the shoddy work by the contractor
4:50
Speaker 2: that still doing work to repair the work that they
4:54
Speaker 2: originally did. But the President still will not give up
4:58
Speaker 2: in claiming that vandalism was responsible for some of the
5:02
Speaker 2: damage to the reflecting pool and pointing his finger at
5:07
Speaker 2: this former olympian. And as you know, the US Attorney's
5:11
Speaker 2: Office in Washington, d C. Led by Jeanine Piro, has
5:14
Speaker 2: dropped all charges against that individual associated with the allegations,
5:20
Speaker 2: the original allegations that he was responsible for alleged vandalism
5:25
Speaker 2: on the reflecting Pool.
5:27
Speaker 1: You said you were flying today on Air Force One.
5:30
Speaker 1: I hope you get a chance to talk to the
5:31
Speaker 1: president because you know about the story in New Jersey
5:35
Speaker 1: where six six hundred non citizens were found in the
5:38
Speaker 1: voting roles. Now they've found seventy five thousand non citizens
5:44
Speaker 1: who were on jury duty and they weren't supposed to
5:48
Speaker 1: be on jury duty. And one of the places where
5:51
Speaker 1: they get those names are from the voting roles, which
5:55
Speaker 1: there's a call now for some bigger investigations in state
5:59
Speaker 1: in New Jersey. I'm not sure if this is made
6:03
Speaker 1: national news yet. It just really happened yesterday. I hope
6:07
Speaker 1: you get a chance to ask the president about it.
6:11
Speaker 2: I did not see that. I'm glad you told me
6:12
Speaker 2: about that, and hopefully, yeah, we'll have a few opportunities
6:16
Speaker 2: to ask the President some questions. It's a trip the
6:18
Speaker 2: President is making on hopefully the new Air Force One.
6:22
Speaker 2: I'll give you a full report what that's like on Thursday,
6:25
Speaker 2: Larry and Curtis, but we're traveling to Ohio for what's
6:29
Speaker 2: called the Patriot Games. The President is going to be
6:33
Speaker 2: attending them, and then we'll fly back to the White House.
6:37
Speaker 2: Arrived back around ten o'clock this evening. But no, I
6:40
Speaker 2: did not know about that story. And that's I think
6:44
Speaker 2: a very newsworthy story.
6:46
Speaker 3: Given what we know already.
6:49
Speaker 2: Has happened in the state of New Jersey. And that's
6:51
Speaker 2: just one state. You know, there could be other states
6:54
Speaker 2: that have had similar situations where individuals who are not
6:58
Speaker 2: citizens were on voting roles. And I'm certain that other
7:02
Speaker 2: states are doing exactly what New Jersey did to see
7:06
Speaker 2: indeed whether or not that was the case with their
7:08
Speaker 2: respective state.
7:09
Speaker 3: Now, John deekular President, has worked very hard to put
7:12
Speaker 3: together that coalition of twenty seven nations, which includes countries
7:17
Speaker 3: like Israel, Turkey, Sirius, Saudi Arabia to bring peace to Gaza.
7:25
Speaker 3: And he outlined how negotiations had gone well in Cairo
7:31
Speaker 3: with Hamas, representatives of Hamas and representatives of this peace committee,
7:36
Speaker 3: and that we were moving forward. Next step would be
7:39
Speaker 3: to put in place a interim government so that Hamas
7:44
Speaker 3: can turn over the governing of their area and Israel
7:48
Speaker 3: their area and the Gaza and Bibe Natanielle was reserved.
7:54
Speaker 3: Then all of a sudden on Sunday he announces no
7:58
Speaker 3: went off for this, leaving Guaza and those weapons have
8:02
Speaker 3: got to be turned over by Hamas. Now I gotta
8:06
Speaker 3: believe the President is like saying, bebe, what the hell
8:09
Speaker 3: are you doing? It takes a lot to get twenty
8:12
Speaker 3: seven nations together to agree on anything. Why are you
8:16
Speaker 3: throwing a monkey wrench into this.
8:20
Speaker 2: Well, you're leaving just one thing out of the equation,
8:22
Speaker 2: and that is yes, you're right. Sunday, the Prime Minister
8:27
Speaker 2: of Israel said, we're not agreeing to this peace proposal
8:29
Speaker 2: that the President announced too much fanfare just two weeks ago.
8:33
Speaker 2: But you also do not have buy in fully from Hamas.
8:37
Speaker 2: And as the President often says Curtis, it takes two
8:40
Speaker 2: to tango. So Hamas was saying, we're not handing over
8:43
Speaker 2: our weapons until Israel withdraws from Gaza, and Israel was saying,
8:48
Speaker 2: we're not withdrawing from Gaza unless and until Hamas gives
8:52
Speaker 2: up all of their weapons, and so no meeting of
8:55
Speaker 2: the minds, and as a result, that peace plan, that
8:58
Speaker 2: peace PROPOSALZA right now at least essentially is dead. It's
9:03
Speaker 2: not going forward.
9:05
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the peace proposal for Iran for a second,
9:08
Speaker 1: because it seems like Iran keeps changing the goalpost, keeps
9:12
Speaker 1: moving it back a little bit further. They feel like
9:14
Speaker 1: they have a deal, and then they don't have a deal.
9:17
Speaker 1: And the President came out interestingly and said, well, the
9:21
Speaker 1: straight up Hormuz is already open, Uh? Is it open?
9:26
Speaker 3: Well?
9:27
Speaker 4: No?
9:27
Speaker 2: I mean if your definition, uh is are a few
9:31
Speaker 2: cargo ships getting through on a daily basis the straight
9:35
Speaker 2: of Hermuz?
9:35
Speaker 3: The answer to that.
9:36
Speaker 2: Question is yes. But is it the over one hundred
9:40
Speaker 2: cargo ships and oil tankers that went through the straight
9:43
Speaker 2: up Forrmuz every day before this conflict began? Then the
9:48
Speaker 2: answer is no. And you know, I think that you
9:50
Speaker 2: know that is really the definition of the straight up
9:53
Speaker 2: Forrmus being open is the ability for any ship, any
9:57
Speaker 2: cargo ship, any oil tanker to get through the st
10:00
Speaker 2: without any fear of any attack coming from Iran, without
10:03
Speaker 2: having to pay any tolls or fees. And that's not
10:07
Speaker 2: the case as things stand right now.
10:09
Speaker 3: So economically, it seems the President feels he can squeeze
10:15
Speaker 3: the Iranians because they don't have enough money to be
10:18
Speaker 3: able to maintain themselves. Somehow, some way, they continue to
10:24
Speaker 3: do it like the Cubans doing Cuba. We thought they'd
10:27
Speaker 3: be collapsed. Is what is the President hoping is going
10:31
Speaker 3: to happen there now with this shift, Just.
10:35
Speaker 2: That you know that there will be such a collapse
10:38
Speaker 2: economically financially in Iran that they will capitulate, they will
10:43
Speaker 2: come to the bargaining table. But you know, you have
10:45
Speaker 2: to factor in a few things here. First of all,
10:49
Speaker 2: Iran now over the course of five months, does not
10:52
Speaker 2: depend solely on the strait of formoves to get their
10:55
Speaker 2: oil out to market. They can deliver that oil over land.
10:59
Speaker 2: Now that this one thing. The other thing is they
11:02
Speaker 2: have two countries that can sustain Iran while they're going
11:06
Speaker 2: through this economic crisis. One is Russia and the other
11:10
Speaker 2: is China.
11:11
Speaker 3: And as long as.
11:12
Speaker 2: Those two countries continue to help out Iran, it's going
11:15
Speaker 2: to be very difficult, I think, to see Iran capitulate
11:19
Speaker 2: fully to come to the negotiating table to end this
11:22
Speaker 2: conflict on terms that the President wants.
11:26
Speaker 1: John Decker, White House and Washington correspondent for WLBR and
11:30
Speaker 1: host of the podcast The White House Briefing Room with
11:33
Speaker 1: John Decker. You can find that in the iHeartRadio app.
11:35
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot, John enjoyed the trip on Air Force
11:37
Speaker 1: one Oh.
11:39
Speaker 2: Thanks a lot, Laurie. Thanks Curtis, and thanks for telling
11:40
Speaker 2: me about that New Jersey story. Really appreciate that.
11:43
Speaker 1: Sure, I can't wait to hear the answers. Well, Curtis,
11:47
Speaker 1: for a while, we had to worry about the explosive
11:50
Speaker 1: diarrhea disease, which is just a horrible name, but the
11:54
Speaker 1: real name is difficult to pronounce.
11:57
Speaker 3: Well, let me try it. Cyclospora. I think that's kine.
12:01
Speaker 3: I got it, that's the germ. Yeah, I think I
12:03
Speaker 3: finally a little parasite. And you pointed out it doesn't
12:07
Speaker 3: necessarily have to kick in right away. So if you
12:09
Speaker 3: had some of this lettuce and your taco bell, could
12:13
Speaker 3: take sometimes two weeks for it to kick in. So
12:16
Speaker 3: you're walking around, you had your crunchy tacos, you know
12:20
Speaker 3: from taco bell. You're feeling great. Two weeks lady, you're
12:24
Speaker 3: hermetically sealed on the porcelain palace.
12:27
Speaker 1: Very good. You've been practicing cyclosporah what's the name of
12:30
Speaker 1: the disease. That's the name of the germ. What's the
12:32
Speaker 1: name of the disease?
12:32
Speaker 3: Who knows? I call it the Taco Bell Taylor Lettuce disease.
12:38
Speaker 3: And then remember chipoli through the jalapeno peppers ended up
12:44
Speaker 3: twenty seven states had salmonilla. Now, I always had problems
12:48
Speaker 3: with salmonilla when I was growing up on Eighteenth Avenue
12:51
Speaker 3: and benson Hurst. I never knew that he turned out
12:54
Speaker 3: he was an infectious disease.
12:56
Speaker 1: We've had a summer of things. You know, we have
12:58
Speaker 1: the Legionaire's disease here too. I mean, we had so
13:01
Speaker 1: many things going around. But now they are warning about
13:05
Speaker 1: a flesh eating bacteria.
13:07
Speaker 3: Yep.
13:08
Speaker 1: It's killed seven people already down on the Gulf Coast
13:11
Speaker 1: in Florida. I know we have a lot of people
13:13
Speaker 1: that listen in Florida. And if the water gets a
13:16
Speaker 1: little bit warmer off the Jersey Coast and off Long Island,
13:19
Speaker 1: it could happen here as well. Uh, it is a bacteria,
13:23
Speaker 1: and it really only happens when you go in the
13:27
Speaker 1: water if you have an open sore.
13:29
Speaker 3: Yep.
13:30
Speaker 1: And so they're telling people just if you have an
13:32
Speaker 1: open sore, either bandage it very well or just don't
13:36
Speaker 1: go in the water. You know, wait till it heals
13:38
Speaker 1: before you go in the water. The other problem here
13:42
Speaker 1: is serious infections from this disease can also result from
13:47
Speaker 1: eating raw or undercooked shellfish from water where the bacteria
13:52
Speaker 1: is found.
13:53
Speaker 3: So down the end the Bayou a Louisiana where I've
13:55
Speaker 3: spent some time, you know, the Cajuns, they love their crawfish.
13:59
Speaker 3: That's it. They eat that crawfish like there's no tomorrow.
14:03
Speaker 3: That's the mixing the marshland. You get fresh water and
14:06
Speaker 3: then you get the ocean water and when it's hot, boy,
14:09
Speaker 3: that is a recipe for problems. I don't know if
14:12
Speaker 3: that's the source of the problem in Louisiana, but I
14:14
Speaker 3: can tell you up here on the north shore of
14:17
Speaker 3: Long Island, Nancy was showing me at where she used
14:20
Speaker 3: to go. Stonybrook did a big study on it because
14:23
Speaker 3: they said there's flesh eating pathogens in Long Island Sound.
14:28
Speaker 3: Don't eat the raw oysters from time to time, which,
14:31
Speaker 3: as you know, that's a big industry there. And then
14:34
Speaker 3: what I love is those little critters who are on
14:37
Speaker 3: Long Island Sound, the north shore who crawl along the bottom.
14:41
Speaker 3: There the scallops. Oh jeez, they could have that too,
14:44
Speaker 3: But no problems so far. But as you pointed out,
14:48
Speaker 3: wherever they mix fresh water with salt water and they
14:51
Speaker 3: have the trae, you know, the shellfish and the open wounds,
14:55
Speaker 3: that could be a problem.
14:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, just another word for you to be able to learn.
14:59
Speaker 1: The The actual German is called vibrio vilnekis.
15:04
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh knocks to you being able to pronounce that.
15:08
Speaker 3: There's just no way. That's a fight dollar word. That's multisyllabic.
15:12
Speaker 3: That's beyond my ability. I'm sorry.
15:14
Speaker 1: You can say multisyllabic though, yes, which is multisyllabic.
15:18
Speaker 3: Well, I practiced often in saying that let's get to
15:22
Speaker 3: the talkbacks.
15:23
Speaker 5: One of the sad things about the tragedy on the
15:26
Speaker 5: boat this weekend is that because the operator didn't follow
15:30
Speaker 5: manufacturer specifications on the load, uh, the insurance is null
15:34
Speaker 5: and void. So there won't even be insurance that they
15:37
Speaker 5: can go after the family.
15:40
Speaker 1: That's a tremendous point.
15:42
Speaker 6: I think that CSI, also known as the Curtiously Investigators,
15:48
Speaker 6: to look into the rumor that Thomas Crooks was a
15:53
Speaker 6: love child of doctor fauci. Oh, I hope I'm not
15:57
Speaker 6: hopelessly wrong.
15:59
Speaker 3: Wow, Thomas Crooks who almost killed Donald Trump the candidate
16:07
Speaker 3: at that moment. I mean it was whisker length and
16:11
Speaker 3: the President might have been impaired or killed. We know
16:15
Speaker 3: so little about this guy. We know more about what
16:18
Speaker 3: John Tech had just told us about the Double seven
16:24
Speaker 3: methods that they hid the president to be able to
16:27
Speaker 3: get them out safely from Turkey at the NATO conference.
16:29
Speaker 3: We know more about those intricate details then we do
16:33
Speaker 3: about the assassination attempted Butler.
16:35
Speaker 1: And there's so many questions, serious questions that need to
16:40
Speaker 1: be answered. And I know they want them in Pennsylvania.
16:43
Speaker 1: I can tell you they've been trying to get them
16:45
Speaker 1: for the longest time in Pennsylvania because it happened there.
16:48
Speaker 1: It was an embarrassment to them, and they said they
16:51
Speaker 1: were kept out of everything. Why why were they kept out?
16:55
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. There's got to be a documentarian
16:58
Speaker 1: out there that can do this, or somebody in the
17:00
Speaker 1: media that can dig into this, because it would be
17:04
Speaker 1: the story of at least the decade and maybe of
17:07
Speaker 1: the century if you can uncover what happened there.
17:09
Speaker 3: Well, the Mayor John Mandami. He had his pid tax.
17:14
Speaker 3: They've called that a French it's his second home tax.
17:18
Speaker 1: Excuse me, we have to get to the news.
17:21
Speaker 3: Oh my mistake, I jumped, I jumped a gun. I'm sorry.
17:26
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
17:26
Speaker 1: I was trying to let you know silently.
17:29
Speaker 3: That's why I know.
17:32
Speaker 1: She's over there. Daria Albanger now with the seven thirty News.
17:36
Speaker 3: Darius, morning, guys.
17:37
Speaker 7: I'm always happy to give you a few extra seconds.
17:39
Speaker 7: No worries about it, and we'll get to the Pieta tear.
17:41
Speaker 7: I promise clouds in humanity and humidity today in humanity
17:45
Speaker 7: as well rain tonight in a high of eighty eight degrees.
17:48
Speaker 7: Luigi Mangioni is expected to be in court today ahead
17:51
Speaker 7: of his trial that starts next month. He's charged in
17:54
Speaker 7: the twenty twenty four fatal shooting of United Healthcare CEO
17:57
Speaker 7: Brian Thompson. Mangioni's lawyers want permission for a live broadcast
18:01
Speaker 7: of the trial. They also won an overflow room so
18:03
Speaker 7: that more people can have access to the proceedings. We
18:06
Speaker 7: are learning more about the operation to protect President Trump
18:10
Speaker 7: from an Iranian threat on his life.
18:13
Speaker 8: According to The Washington Post, Trump boarded the older Air
18:16
Speaker 8: Force one in front of the cameras, waving from the stairs,
18:19
Speaker 8: and then slipped out a door on the other side
18:22
Speaker 8: of the plane into an airport catering truck, which then

21:40
Speaker 3: Nah, you've heard this statement, We're gonna attack you from
21:43
Speaker 3: the cradle to the grave. Welcome to New York City,
21:45
Speaker 3: Welcome to New York State. Not a lot of other locations.
21:48
Speaker 3: But they always have to come up with this unique
21:51
Speaker 3: way of doing it. And back in twenty nineteen, Larry,
21:55
Speaker 3: for people who are not aware, they created this pidka tax.
22:00
Speaker 3: I don't even know if I'm pronouncing that right. It's stupid.
22:03
Speaker 3: It's a second home tax. At the time, the governor
22:06
Speaker 3: was Andrew Cuomo. He had a deficit with the MTA.
22:09
Speaker 3: He was trying to make it up, but it never
22:11
Speaker 3: went anywhere. But the groundwork was laid for this Pierre
22:15
Speaker 3: de Ta tax there whatever. But it has to be
22:21
Speaker 3: done by the state, you see, because when we pretty
22:24
Speaker 3: much went bankrupt, remember when Gerald Ford told New York
22:27
Speaker 3: City dropped dead, they put together a financial control board
22:30
Speaker 3: and as a result of that, the state bailed us
22:33
Speaker 3: out kept us aflow. So Ever since then, whenever you
22:36
Speaker 3: want to raise most taxes, whatever, everything, you got to
22:40
Speaker 3: go to Albany. So Hoko agreed to this secondary home
22:45
Speaker 3: tax in order so that Zohan Mandami would not raise
22:48
Speaker 3: the property taxes for everyone. At least that was the excuse.
22:51
Speaker 3: So she said okay, and he pushes ahead, and it's
22:56
Speaker 3: going to raise about five hundred million dollars and it's
22:59
Speaker 3: going to impact so a few thousand people, not that many,
23:03
Speaker 3: because it's basically got to be a millionaire or above.
23:06
Speaker 3: You have a condo or a co op that's worth
23:08
Speaker 3: a million dollars, or a private home you know, one,
23:11
Speaker 3: two three family, it's got to be worth five million.
23:15
Speaker 3: So it's not most. Most don't get effected by it.
23:18
Speaker 3: So the Department of Finance went out there and started
23:21
Speaker 3: sending letters to everyone they claimed was subject to having
23:25
Speaker 3: to pay this tax, and obviously doing this with the
23:29
Speaker 3: state Department of Taxation two because the state has to
23:33
Speaker 3: oversee it. Seventeen thousand received letters. Three thousand, eight hundred said, hey,
23:39
Speaker 3: wait a second, what are you talking about. I only
23:41
Speaker 3: have one property, my primary property. This is the one
23:44
Speaker 3: that I live in. You know, yeah, I have some
23:46
Speaker 3: rental here, but I don't have a secondary property. So
23:50
Speaker 3: the rollout was screwed up to begin with. And then
23:53
Speaker 3: Randy Maskrow, the former deputy mayor, first depanty mayor and
23:56
Speaker 3: the Eric Adams administration. His final year, he would go
24:00
Speaker 3: to court sue on behalf of some of those who
24:04
Speaker 3: had received these notices, and they were able to get
24:07
Speaker 3: a judge in Staten Island, a Democrat who leans conservative,
24:12
Speaker 3: one of those rarities nowadays, Judge Ozzi who granted a
24:16
Speaker 3: temporary restanding order who said, basically, you screwed up the
24:21
Speaker 3: rollout of this. People were getting letters who shouldn't have
24:23
Speaker 3: got letters. Immediately, the zorn Mandami Corporation Council, they launched
24:30
Speaker 3: an appeal Monday evening that blocked Azzi's orders or goes
24:35
Speaker 3: to a higher court which will weigh in the appellate division.
24:38
Speaker 3: And so the battle continues. But it's all because even
24:41
Speaker 3: though Hokel signed off on it, the way it was
24:45
Speaker 3: rolled out left a lot to be desired.
24:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a lot of mistakes being made. Political
24:52
Speaker 1: reports it this way. They're saying that the list had
24:56
Speaker 1: nine hundred thousand people on the life list. Is it
25:01
Speaker 1: possible that there are people nine hundred thousand New Yorkers
25:07
Speaker 1: that have a second home worth over five million dollars
25:11
Speaker 1: right there? You look at it and go, that's not right,
25:14
Speaker 1: that's stupid.
25:14
Speaker 3: I think what was conflated there is there's about a
25:17
Speaker 3: million properties that go up on the tax rolls that
25:20
Speaker 3: everybody can look at everybody, because if you were thinking
25:23
Speaker 3: of buying a property, you want to make sure they're
25:26
Speaker 3: not in arrears on taxes, you know, because somebody might say, oh, Larry,
25:29
Speaker 3: you like my Brownstone? Yeah, yeah, we'll make a deal,
25:33
Speaker 3: and then you realize, wait, I'm subject to having to
25:36
Speaker 3: pay the taxes. You won't. How come I never found
25:38
Speaker 3: out about that? So I think they conflated to do
25:40
Speaker 3: a lousy rollout. But this all started. Remember when Zorn
25:44
Speaker 3: went outside the massive I guess you could call a
25:49
Speaker 3: penthouse the Kenneth Griffin had purchased for himself a two
25:54
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty eight million bucks. Remember Zoron did that
25:58
Speaker 3: that video in which he walked up and he tapped
26:01
Speaker 3: the cell phone and he's basically saying, per your first year,
26:05
Speaker 3: Kenneth Griffin, right outside his residence. And naturally, Kevin Kenneth
26:11
Speaker 3: Griffin got very upset. Others got very upset. The mayor
26:15
Speaker 3: stood his ground and there was no talk. There was
26:18
Speaker 3: like damage control was tried, but the mayor couldn't reach
26:22
Speaker 3: Kenneth Griffin. He wouldn't meet with the mayor. But remember
26:25
Speaker 3: there was the fear that that massive commercial skyscraper that Citadel,
26:30
Speaker 3: which is the company owned and run by Kenneth Griffin,
26:33
Speaker 3: would pull out and go to Florida because some of
26:35
Speaker 3: his other businesses have no Last week they decided they're
26:39
Speaker 3: going to stay. Demolition continues on the old property. They're
26:42
Speaker 3: going to build a new property with Steve Roth from
26:46
Speaker 3: Vernado Apartments, who said that if you accuse the tax, well,
26:50
Speaker 3: if you say to the rich, tax the rich, that's
26:54
Speaker 3: hate speech. Well they've formed a consortium, so that building
26:59
Speaker 3: is going to go up. So that's one.
27:01
Speaker 1: They save one except that in the last couple of years,
27:04
Speaker 1: eight hundred and ninety two companies have left New York
27:07
Speaker 1: for forty seven billion dollars worth of taxes. I mean,
27:11
Speaker 1: my god, there is this incredible exodus. So you might
27:16
Speaker 1: take them as an example saying, look, look, they still
27:19
Speaker 1: like New York. They want to stay here. It was
27:21
Speaker 1: a false promise. They can't leave now. They put too
27:23
Speaker 1: much money into in the beginning, they had too much
27:26
Speaker 1: money to lose.
27:27
Speaker 3: That started to occur with Cuomo de Blagio, then with
27:31
Speaker 3: Cuomo Adams, then when he left to avoid being impeached,
27:36
Speaker 3: Hocal Adams, and now it continues on with Joran Mondomier.
27:39
Speaker 1: It's on hyperdrive because he's out. He's out in the
27:42
Speaker 1: open saying, I'm coming after these companies, and I'm coming
27:45
Speaker 1: after you if you make a certain amount of money,
27:47
Speaker 1: and I'm coming after you if you own a second home.
27:49
Speaker 1: So trust me, over the next couple of years, this
27:52
Speaker 1: is going to be on hyperdrive. You save the one.
27:55
Speaker 1: You're right, you talk about Ken Griffin. Let's talk in
27:58
Speaker 1: the year about all of the people that have left,
28:01
Speaker 1: all the billionaires.
28:03
Speaker 3: I can tell you in the streets, in the subways,
28:05
Speaker 3: people have I wish I could even afford to live
28:07
Speaker 3: in one place. There's no sympathy for the people who
28:11
Speaker 3: have two apartment But we'll see how this plays out,
28:14
Speaker 3: as it's got to go up the Appella division. Very liberal,
28:17
Speaker 3: very progressive. We'll see what they rule. But up next
28:21
Speaker 3: all she's down in the hot, sweltering streets, coming up
28:25
Speaker 3: to the suites, and she's talking about the subject matter
28:29
Speaker 3: that I'm an expert of. I don't know if it's
28:31
Speaker 3: the two legged rats, you know we eat the parmesan cheese,
28:35
Speaker 3: or the four legged rats that I even saw this
28:37
Speaker 3: morning when I was walking towards the facilities here of
28:41
Speaker 3: iHeart in the neighborhood that I was leaving. Oh, they
28:47
Speaker 3: were everywhere. They were dancing the Tarantella, they were dancing
28:50
Speaker 3: the cryp dance, they were dancing the horror. The rats
28:53
Speaker 3: were out in full celebration. But also right now understand
29:00
Speaker 3: that the iHeart Music Festival is back and bigger than
29:04
Speaker 3: ever before, and it's sponsored by Capital One, featuring live
29:09
Speaker 3: performances by Benson Boone, the Google Dolls, Kenny Chesney, Laney
29:13
Speaker 3: Wilson and Moore. September eighteenth to nineteen to to T
29:15
Speaker 3: Mobile Arena in Vegas. That's two nights, one stage. While
29:19
Speaker 3: the world is listening on iHeart Radio. You could be there.
29:23
Speaker 3: Three chances every weekday for you to win your trip
29:26
Speaker 3: for two plus one thousand dollars in spending cash. Next
29:31
Speaker 3: chance to text and when happens at nine am right
29:34
Speaker 3: here on seven ten WR, millions of it. Now it's
29:39
Speaker 3: seven ten wrs Beat on the Street with Natalie Migliori,
29:44
Speaker 3: Oh wow, with Jimmy Failure coming up in the eight
29:47
Speaker 3: o'clock hour. That's the two Legged Rat. But you were
29:50
Speaker 3: down in the streets sourcing New Yorkers for their opinions
29:55
Speaker 3: on the four legged rats? Am I correct?
29:57
Speaker 9: Only the four legged ones? Yeah, we didn't ask about Jimmy,
30:03
Speaker 9: but there, and I'm bum dominissing him. But there's many things,
30:07
Speaker 9: you guys know that make up a New Yorker's way
30:10
Speaker 9: of life. The subways, the honking, the traffic that comes
30:13
Speaker 9: with the honking, the fruit vendors, and the rats. But
30:17
Speaker 9: two years ago, the former Marrier had had enough of
30:20
Speaker 9: the rats and declared a war on them, at one
30:23
Speaker 9: point hiring New York's first ever rats are and that
30:26
Speaker 9: positions now vacant. We don't have a ratsar anymore. But
30:30
Speaker 9: the Mamdani administration seems to find its own way to
30:34
Speaker 9: combat Curtis loves loves the rats. You love the rats.
30:39
Speaker 9: In my script, I had the creepy rodents. But to
30:41
Speaker 9: each his own right. And it all comes as a
30:45
Speaker 9: Bloomberg report shows New York is on track to report
30:48
Speaker 9: its fewest rat sightings since the pandemic, down twenty two
30:53
Speaker 9: percent in the first seven months of this year compared
30:57
Speaker 9: to last year. So are we winning the war on rats?
31:01
Speaker 4: There's a lot of them. I don't think New York's
31:03
Speaker 4: winning one there. I just think it's just a waste
31:05
Speaker 4: of money. It's something about nature. New York's have to
31:08
Speaker 4: deal with it constantly, so that's part of God's environment.
31:11
Speaker 9: No, I feel like I see them all the time.
31:13
Speaker 3: Like I think I'm going to go into the subway
31:14
Speaker 3: and see one right now.
31:16
Speaker 10: I think we're fixing our rat problem. Because I'm retiring.
31:19
Speaker 10: I spend a lot of time in Central Park. I
31:22
Speaker 10: live right by there, and I've noticed there were a
31:25
Speaker 10: fewer rats coming around. A lot of people tend to
31:28
Speaker 10: sit down and throw popcorn and breadcrumbs and candy to
31:33
Speaker 10: the pigeons and the squirrels, and the rats come out too.
31:37
Speaker 10: I've seen a significant decline of that.
31:40
Speaker 9: Just by sitting in Central Park. Have you seen rats
31:44
Speaker 9: in Central Park?
31:44
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, I've seen rats, raccoons, possums, coyotes because my
31:50
Speaker 3: wife is able to find the coyotes in the wee
31:52
Speaker 3: hours of the morning. And don't tell my wife not
31:55
Speaker 3: to feed the pigeons. You're ready for a fight.
31:58
Speaker 1: Does she feed the rats?
32:00
Speaker 9: Yes, she does whatever comes her way. It's just you can't,
32:03
Speaker 9: you can't, you can't DIFFERENTI.
32:04
Speaker 3: You You'll be waiting for a change. She sees the
32:07
Speaker 3: rats now and there in the track She'll throw them
32:09
Speaker 3: a few of the bird see wow wow.
32:11
Speaker 9: All right, So the city has made strides not in
32:15
Speaker 9: changing how people feed the rats, but in its garbage regulations,
32:19
Speaker 9: on its way to requiring trash be put in secure
32:22
Speaker 9: garbage cans with lids by twenty thirty one. Right now,
32:26
Speaker 9: more than seventy percent of the city's trash is in containers.
32:30
Speaker 9: But are people as are they passionate? Do rats really
32:34
Speaker 9: impact the quality of life here? I think we're just
32:37
Speaker 9: super used to it. Like I think it's just part
32:39
Speaker 9: of daily life. You see them in the subway and
32:41
Speaker 9: you don't even care.
32:42
Speaker 10: Well, you know who says that affects our quality of life?
32:46
Speaker 10: Those people running for office who don't live in New
32:49
Speaker 10: York City, well.
32:50
Speaker 4: They do carry diseases, so I have to understand why
32:53
Speaker 4: they're going. They do carry lot viruses and stuff, So
32:56
Speaker 4: you have to worry about the public's health. You gotta
32:58
Speaker 4: worry about health co general.
33:00
Speaker 8: I do think that it is something to declare or
33:02
Speaker 8: on rats.
33:04
Speaker 9: Do you think it's something to declare war on rats?
33:06
Speaker 3: You can't win. All you can hope for is daytime
33:10
Speaker 3: because they are nocturnal. I'm nocturnal. Owls are nocturnal. There
33:14
Speaker 3: are certain animals who are nocturnal and they come out
33:17
Speaker 3: at night. Now that they don't have enough food supply,
33:19
Speaker 3: they'll be out during the day and that's what grocers
33:22
Speaker 3: people out.
33:23
Speaker 9: Well as people see I fewer and fuer rats, although
33:26
Speaker 9: there's still a healthy dose of them in our subway system, okay,
33:30
Speaker 9: and some biles of trash you walk past, you see
33:33
Speaker 9: them crawling around. New Yorkers have not about trash, but
33:36
Speaker 9: a few more recommendations, some they think are simple ways
33:40
Speaker 9: that could potentially starve out the rats.
33:43
Speaker 6: Curtis, I do think that uptown they need more garbage
33:46
Speaker 6: cans because we don't have them uptown.
33:48
Speaker 10: Where I left.
33:49
Speaker 3: People have to clean more. The restaurant have to be careful,
33:52
Speaker 3: don't throwing food out.
33:54
Speaker 4: I wish they had like experts, like science as actual
33:57
Speaker 4: sciences walk in city government and you know, help not
34:00
Speaker 4: with the problem. I think that would be the solution,
34:02
Speaker 4: just to solve the problem.
34:04
Speaker 1: You can't get rid of the rats because the tourists
34:06
Speaker 1: love them. There's there's actually tours all over the city
34:10
Speaker 1: ret tours, right, and have you ever seen the tourists
34:12
Speaker 1: when a rat goes by, they take their camera right
34:14
Speaker 1: away and start taking pictures of the rats.
34:16
Speaker 3: I think what we have to do is have rat
34:19
Speaker 3: birth control. The male rats who can have quite a
34:24
Speaker 3: few litters with female rats. We need to find them.
34:27
Speaker 3: Jimmy Capps, condoms put on those male rats and you know,
34:31
Speaker 3: decreased the population through birth control.
34:34
Speaker 9: I don't think that that. I mean, I'm not that
34:37
Speaker 9: it matters, but.
34:39
Speaker 1: Don't take it.
34:40
Speaker 9: I know, but I just I'm left speechless by just
34:44
Speaker 9: the ideas that come out of your mouth sometimes.
34:46
Speaker 3: Well, everything else has not worked, right.
34:49
Speaker 9: We have discussed how they're able to avoid the pellets
34:53
Speaker 9: that the city gives them. There's all these things and
34:58
Speaker 9: preventive measures he has tried to tea don't work.
35:02
Speaker 3: Does the Department of Help not give out free condoms
35:04
Speaker 3: to human beings to prevent unwanted UH births or to
35:10
Speaker 3: spread of STDs? We need to get condoms onto every
35:14
Speaker 3: male rat to cause a diminishment of the population.
35:18
Speaker 9: It'll be your job, right, I'll hand them out to them.
35:21
Speaker 1: Come here, thanks a lot, Natalie Makeleori. I'll be back
35:26
Speaker 1: again to bussy failure just came in. He's coming up next.
35:32
Speaker 1: Let's get the news at eight o'clock with the area
