  Speaker 1: Wow, another weekend on Sunday. Rain, rain, go away. Saturday
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: night into Sunday. But Natalie, I know you and Larry
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: were involved in that mile, that Fifth Avenue mile race
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: that iHeart sponsors along with the Roadrunners Club of New York.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: What was it like there? Because I know there was
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: intermittent rain here in New York City. It either flooded
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: momentarily and then it came down and then it stopped.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: So did you get drenched? It was raining.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Definitely raining the entire time.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Was it raining men? It was raining men and women.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: And runners and runners and runners. It was great.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: It was the New Balance Fifth Avenue Mile. It's the
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: second year that we've broadcasted from there. Second year it
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: rained too, so I don't know if it's us. But
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: the race went on. It was a great day. Wouldn't
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: say the same for some poor runners in New.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Jersey yesterday, though. And Paramus. You guys see that?
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Did you see what went on there?
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: The half marathon in Paramus. Eight inches of rain had fallen.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: So most of the half marathoners decided, no, we're not
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: going to drown. There was this one intrepid guy who decided, no, no, no, no.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to let the flooding waters that came
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: up to his navel get Prevent him from finishing the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: half marathon. I mean, it was raining in buckets, Karamis,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: in Patterson, just a deluge. But this guy was intent.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: He could have gone underwater. That could have swept him away.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: But he decided, no, no, no. I came out to
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: run a half marathon. I'm going to run a half marathon.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: So it was much worse in New Jersey, much worse
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: in Connecticut than you were facing. In fact, in Connecticut itself,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: they had the worst flooding in three decades in Fairfield
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: County and Westport, right on the Long Island Sound.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: People were trapped in their homes in vehicles.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Paterson new jersey trapped in vehicles and homes up to
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: their windows wayne new jersey this is the 10th incident
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: of extreme weather that has led to flooding uh since
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: right before the memorial day weekend we've never had that
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: before and officials are scratching their heads and wondering what
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: are they going to do in case this returns all
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: over again with the start of spring into uh summer
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and fall. But let me get back to that Fifth
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Avenue mile. That's just a straight sprint, unlike most miles
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: where you run on an oval.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: So, Larry, who is it? It's my turn? Yes. Okay, good.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Who is the winner? Who is the winner? The winner
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: was a kid from Villanova who just smashed, I think
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: it was close to being a record. I'm pretty sure.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: It was close to being– did I just cut out
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: there for a second? Yes, you did. Just briefly. Just briefly.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Let me start with the woman, though. Gemma Ricci won
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: for the women, and she won kind of going away.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: But this kid, Langone, from Villanova, is a trip. I
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: will tell you something. Not only did he win the race,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: but he was trailing a little bit. You could see
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: he was tracking the leaders. He shoots ahead, right? He
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: has his kick. And then another guy, the guy that
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: everybody thought was going to win it all from Great Britain,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: shoots ahead of him. And then Langone has another level
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: and shoots ahead again and ends up winning the race.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: And he ran. The rain had stopped, but it was
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: still a wet surface. He ran 345 for the mile. Now,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: as you pointed out, the world record is 343.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Just set by another Brit. The original one broke the
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: four-minute mile, was Roger Bannister, 54. Josh Kerr just set
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the new record, another Brit, 343. He attributed it to
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: his new sneakers, state-of-the-art sneakers. But boy, that's 350. You
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: said this young man from Villanova ran it at what?
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: 345.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: 345 in the rain. And he was pushed. I mean,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: he definitely kicked at the end. But to me, this kid,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: he's so fun to listen to. He's so fun to watch.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: He's just out of college. I mean, just out of college.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Has his hair a couple different colors, has these big
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: earrings on. Gen Z is going to love him. If
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: he qualifies for the Olympics, it's going to be fun
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: to see him go because He is going to be something,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: somebody to watch, and somebody that's going to be followed.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Trust me, he's going to also get a fan base.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: You know, it's amazing that Villanova for many years had
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: great track stars. I think their coach was Jumbo Elliott.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: He was world-renowned. Everybody wanted to come to Villanova. People
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: from Africa, people from Europe, they wanted to train under him.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: You know, you had the Penn Relays, which Villanova was
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: always great at. Four by 100, four by mile. That
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: means four separate milers would run.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Well, they had the guy that ran the first four-minute mile, right?
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Marty LaCourie, wasn't that it?
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Marty LaCourie, yeah. Actually, the first under four-minute mile was
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Jim Ryan. who was in high school at the time
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: before he went to the University of Kansas. He did that,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I think, in 1964.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: 351. 351.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, they just keep driving the numbers
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: down and down. When I was running track in high school,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: which I hated, you had to do it between football
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: and baseball, the quarter mile became the sprint. You know,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: you had the 100 meters, you had 220, you had 440.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: 440 became a sprint. Now, the mile is a sprint.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I'm sure what you saw take place on Fifth Avenue
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: yesterday was basically a sprint from beginning to end.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was, although there was a guy that got
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: out there way out in front, and I think he
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: was going. They did something new this year. For the
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: half-mile mark, you get $ 1, 000. And so this guy seems like,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I'm in it for the $ 1, 000. I know I can't
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: win this race, but I'm going to run a half
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: mile as fast as I can. And he did. He's
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: the rabbit. He's the rabbit. Everybody was just trailing him.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: But he was way back in the pack as it ended.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Just looking at Marty LaCour, he had four U.S. records.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: But you're right. Jim Ryan was the first one.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: But Villanova was unbelievable because, remember, you had your Penn
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Relays there that teams from all over the United States
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: would come to compete. Villanova was always like number one.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Villanova still is. I didn't know this because I haven't
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: been following Villanova track, but we had Tim McLoone with
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: us who follows this all the time. And I said
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: to Tim, is Villanova, this track program still doing well?
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: He goes, oh yeah. Oh, really, really well. They're one
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: of the top in the country still. So yeah, they
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: still have a formidable... Track program, and this guy, Marco Langone,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: or Langoon, I'm not sure how you pronounce it, but
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: he is going to be fun. He's going to be
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: really fun. He's got a huge personality.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: But the race was sponsored by the New York Road
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Runners Track Club.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Also had groups, other.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Groups, that weren't as proficient as those young men, right? Right.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Different age categories. How did they handle the rain and running?
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: They didn't seem to be bothered by it. It's funny
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: when you talk to all of the runners, which I'm
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: not a runner, so I don't know. When you talk
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: to the runners, they enjoy running in the rain. They
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: like running in the rain. And so unless it gets,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: they said, if there's lightning or there's wind, wind is
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: the biggest problem, but rain feels good when you're running.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: And it's funny because we ended up with a conversation
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: among track runners and they, one said, well, wait, except,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: except for the socks. That's the only problem when your,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: when your socks get wet. But other than that, it's,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: it's really good. So no, they were incredible. And let
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: me tell you something that, that is the most special
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: part of the fifth Avenue mile. And it's seeing the
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: kids run, seeing people where this is their moment. You're
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: seeing people, they have a seniors run. They have, uh,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: by the way, a lot of the Broadway stars come
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: out and run and they do it for charity. Uh,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Broadway Cares. And this year, by the way, it's a
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: big deal among them, the FDNY and the NYPD run.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: And it was the NYPD that just– they had three
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: of the top four, was that? Yeah, three of the
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: top four.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, they're used to chasing thieves, so they're well-tuned
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: to that. Although it makes sense what you said about
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: liking a run in the rain. One of the top
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: track clubs in America is University of Oregon. They used
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: to have Steve Prefontaine who set all kinds of records.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: That's how Nike came about in Oregon. And Eugene was
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: from the performances at the University of Oregon because they
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: were trying to figure out what kind of sneakers to
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: make for rain, for non-rain. Because they have different sneakers
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: for different occasions. It's become very scientific. But the fact
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: that they are running miles now at 343 345 is unbelievable.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: I will tell you the new york roadrunners their big
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: thing right now is accessibility they want to make sure
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: that these races and their events are accessible to everyone
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: they don't want just the stars they just don't they
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: don't want broadway stars they don't want any of the
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: stars the racing stars they want to make sure that
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: everybody's able to get involved and and the mile is
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: one of the ones that they really hold as near
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: and dear because not everybody can run a marathon no
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: but you can get in this race and it doesn't
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: matter how fast you run just so you finish you
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: know you finish and everybody celebrates you and there's Things
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: going off. It's really nice. It is a tremendous event
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: to watch, and I was proud to be a part
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: of it. Natalie does a great job, by the way.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I was in front of the microphone. But let me
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: just tell you, Natalie sits next to me, and everything
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I'm about to say next, she has on a card.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: They don't trust me with a script. It's like an
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: index card. Here's the next thing you're going to say.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Here's the next thing you're going to say. But it's
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: a well-oiled machine from behind the booth in the street. Well,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: great job.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Great job, Larry and Natalie, and also our whole iHeart
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: team that was out there. is working with the New
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: York Road Runners to make this a success each and
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: every year. How many years are we going to be
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: involved with them in these races?
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I hope for a long, long time.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: I really do.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: But we got the marathon coming up in now 48 days.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: 48 days.
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: That's intense. I love the New York City Marathon, and
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: for the same reason. Well, up next, my passion, as
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: you know, my wife's passion, Nancy. But in the slope,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Park Slope, New Yorkers are looking for a missing bodega kitten.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: And boy, it really has brought the community out as
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: a whole to find that missing kitten. Plus, a chance
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: to see Richard Marks at 825. I'll tell you what,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: you can steal a lot of things. And, you know,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: nobody talks about it. It doesn't make the news. You
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: steal a bodega cat? You take away somebody's bodega cat, man,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: does it get covered. And the neighborhood is now up
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: in arms. Houses could be burglarized, but you take a
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: bodega cat, that's a big deal. This one happened in
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Park Slope. We're talking about a three-month-old kitten that was
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: bought to replace a 17-year-old bodega cat called Victoria. When
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: that cat died, the The bodega owner was just distraught,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: so the neighbors, they got him a little kitten. So
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: it was three months old. The same day it was
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: supposed to be chipped, it was taken. Beautiful. As soon
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: as I see the cat, it touches my heart. Beautiful, huh?
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Like my baby, you know? That's the bodega owner who
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: is distraught. His name is Ahmad Inab, and the little
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: cat's name is Jabal. Now, they have... They have video
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: of a couple taking the kitten from in front of
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: the bodega and petting it and loving it and walking
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: over with it, walking away with it. So they have
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: posters up everywhere. The whole community got involved. The whole
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: community got involved. And if you look online, it's everywhere.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: We posted a bunch of people posted on there, and
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: then someone else posted on Reddit with their photos.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: We hung flyers.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: And then the minute it got to social media, I mean,
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: I feel like it's starting to go national.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Listen, they have a picture of these two, and I've
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: seen the video of these two. They pick up the cat,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: they're petting the cat, and they just keep walking with it.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: It's only three months old. It's getting national play. My
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: feeling is maybe even tomorrow when we're talking about this,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: if we talk about it again, the cat will be
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: back in Iman's arms.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it would have been incumbent upon the
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: couple to walk into the bodega and say, is this
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: anybody's cat? Can you identify this kitten? It clearly decided
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: not to and walked off with it. It happens with dogs.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: It happens with cats. But as you can see, it
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: brought the community together. Another situation taking place simultaneously is
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: in Bay Ridge where they're poisoning cats. And that's brought
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the neighborhood together to try to find out who are
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: the cat killers.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. And also another cat story.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: They just sold the original home that the president, Donald Trump,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: was raised in, which was not Jamaica Estates.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: It was nearby.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: And then Fred and his mother moved the family to
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Jamaica Estates. But two years ago, that was a cat colony.
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: Oh, really?
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: We would visit.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Feral cats were there. There were like 30 of them.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Half the neighborhood was opposed to it. The other half
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: was for it. Almost created a civil war. But that house,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: no longer owned by the Trump family, has been sold
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: for $ 2 million.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: It's funny. When I first heard the story about Jabal missing,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: I thought, where's Curtis? I thought you'd be out in front,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: taking the guardian angels out, searching all over the place.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: That's better that it's organic, that it happens in the neighborhood.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: People come together, regardless of what normally they may be discussing,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: or to try to find that kitten. And as you said,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling that couple will be so pressured,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: they will just return the kitten, apologize, and that'll be over.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: But there are many times that cats and dogs... especially
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: when their puppies or kittens are just snatched up from
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: the street, never to be returned again. And their owners,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: they go around and they put up wanted posters and
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: they offer rewards and, you know, it breaks their heart.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: And you say to yourself, why would you do that?
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you just ask around before just taking a
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: kitten or a puppy?
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they weren't thinking. I do believe, and I think
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: this is what you're getting at. I'm not sure it
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: was anything nefarious. They just saw a cute little kitten.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: It didn't have tags or anything like that. Three months old,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: they thought maybe it was a stray. They picked it
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: up and took it home. Now, as they see this
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: all over the news, I hope they do exactly what
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: you're saying. They look at it and go, oh, my God,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: that's somebody's cat.
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Let's take it back. Yeah, they're probably from the neighborhood.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: They're probably from the neighborhood. And somebody out there is
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: going to say, I know that. That's Jack and Jill.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: They live right down the block on bargain. How about

  Speaker 7: rate increase is on the way. Government report Friday showed
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: consumer price inflation still well above the Fed's 2% target.
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: That's raising expectations for a rate increase, even as President
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: Trump is pushing for Fed Chair Kevin Warsh to move
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: in the opposite direction. Our next news at 7, I'm

  Speaker 2: All right, thanks a lot, Larry. Larry Kofsky in for

  Speaker 2: the importance of the day. Then there were the stories

  Speaker 2: behind the stories. Politicians talking to politicians. Politicians laughing. and
• 18:40

• 20:15
  Speaker 1: So, Larry, I was very proud of our coverage leading
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: up to the reading of the names on Friday for
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: the 25th anniversary commemoration of the attack of 9-11. We
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: hit all the major points. We also had, which we'll
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: play momentarily, what was unexpected. The call from the national
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: chairwoman of the 9-11 Families United, Terry Strada, who first
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: was speaking with another young lady next to her in
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: announcing the names, about the need to bring the Saudis
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: to task because of their involvement in the attack on 9-11.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and she started that by naming her husband's name
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: and then went into it from there.
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: And my husband, Tom Strada. You are missed more with
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: each year that passes. But how can it be 25
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: years and still we have no justice for the role
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: that Saudi Arabia played in your murder?
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: And she wasn't the only one. Correct.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: And so this was obviously very well organized because throughout
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: the many people who came forward and very somberly announced
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: the names of their loved ones. They were very tight
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: on this issue. So it didn't have to do with
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: whether Zoran Mandami should be there or anybody else should
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: be there. Apparently, they had a consensus that after 25 years,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: it's time for the administration to stop shielding the involvement
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: of Saudis because every previous administration, Democrat and Republican, has
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: certainly done that. And they were very respectful to Vice
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: President Vance, who was there. And Terry asked the Vice President,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: on behalf of the families, please bring this message to
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: President Donald Trump. And while in Ireland, which we'll discuss
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: coming up next, the President said, when I get back
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: to Washington, I'll go through the requests.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: And hopefully, the families... can.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Bring this to close because of all the redacted items
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: that have involved Saudi families, special charter jets that were
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: put together by the Bush administration, Bush 43, to get
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: out members of Osama bin Laden's family who was here
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: in the United States, other members of the Saudi royal family.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of questions pending that have never been
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: answered to the family. So nobody expected that. No, and
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: she was brilliant the way she handled it. It was
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: done effortlessly, and it was not taking shots at anyone.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: What she did was she pleaded. She pleaded with not
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: only J.D. Vance, as you pointed out, but President Trump.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: And there is, I don't know what her background is,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: but there is a way of asking Donald Trump for something.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: And she did it perfectly, you know, saying, please, please,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: the families are looking for this. And he responded. And
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: so she was brilliant in the way she handled it.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: I didn't think as many people thought that it was
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: inappropriate at all, at all, because she was just asking
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: a question and that's it. And she was asking it
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: on behalf of her husband and all the other families.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: So bravo to her and also bravo to Donald Trump
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: for hearing the message and saying, For the first time,
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: I'll do something about this. Well, we will see.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Remember the Saudis, we always kiss their ass no matter
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: who the president is. So it's on his desk as
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: he arrives back at the White House. And hopefully he
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: does something to satisfy the needs of those families. The
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: other big item was that Rudy Giuliani was there with Dr.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Maria at his side. That is his aide to camp.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: His son was behind him. And his security officer, Michael Ragusa,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: was there. He worked his way through the crowd because
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: he is, you know, still injured from that car accident
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: that basically broke his back. And he worked his way
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: up to the mayor, Zoran Mondami.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: As Dr.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Maria said later, he had asked me, please guide me
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: towards the mayor.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: And then they.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Shook each other's hands. Apparently, Rudy was quoted as saying,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I prayed for you. And then they went their separate ways. But, oh, boy,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: did Rudy get blowback from everybody who said, well, wait
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: a second, you accusing him basically of being a supporter
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: of terrorism, possibly that Osama bin Laden would welcome the
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: fact that there is now a Muslim mayor. And then
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden you do this pivot and shift.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Tremendous blowback. And I'm saying to myself, what did you expect?
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: These officials and former officials to do, snub each other,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: turn their back on one another. He purposefully sought out
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Zoran Mandami to show at this commemoration that whatever differences
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: people have, they're putting it aside.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: I thought he did the right thing. Yes, that's the
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: way it always has been. That's the way it should be.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: This is different. This political divide where you can't even
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: engage with the other side. You know, it's from the
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: crowd that keeps talking about democracy. Oh, he's anti-democracy. This
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: is democracy. When you work with the other side, when
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: you can shake their hands, when you can talk to
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: them directly, That's what democracy is supposed to be. So
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: I know that Giuliani doesn't have any power anymore. I
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: know that it's not exactly what I'm talking about, but
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: it's symbolic of it. It is symbolic of two sides
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: being able to see past the arguments they have on
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: policy and shake each other's hands. So, yes, it was
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: a nice moment. It was a wonderful moment. And it
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: was appropriate, by the way, unlike AOC and Mamdani. That
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: was not appropriate. They should have known space and time.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: And I know a lot of people saying, well, they
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: didn't know they were on camera. Well, that doesn't matter.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: The names were being read, and the two of them
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: were having a big old laugh together. And it just
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: looked bad. If you saw that in a funeral of
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: someone you loved, you would be aghast. And so a
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: lot of people across the country have talked about it.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: It even made all the way to Donald Trump in Ireland. Yeah,
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: so you could hear it over the plane, but he
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: said it's terrible. That's just not the place for that.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: That shouldn't have happened. It was a bad look.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but again, officials, when they come to a commemoration,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: they have a habit of meeting one another as if
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: long-lost friends. Al Sharpton always had the best posture, as
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: much as I hated him and still do.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: He said, keep a stoic face. You're there, keep a
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: stoic face. There's a time and place, though. I mean,
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: as you just said, Giuliani, they shook hands. It wasn't
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: during the reading of the names. Nobody would do that
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: during the reading of the names. You can't defend this.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: It's indefensible. Wait a second.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Michael Ragusa, the bodyguard for Rudy Giuliani, said the video
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: is not true. I was standing next to them the
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: whole time, the camera rolling. Caught their greeting with Zoran.
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: Hello.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: They smiled.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Other politicians behind us were laughing and joking also. Really?
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Because there was a wide shot. I didn't see anybody
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: else laughing and joking. You weren't there. I wasn't there.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Ragusa was there. No friend of Zoran. No friend of AOC.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: I don't believe him. I just don't believe him because
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: we saw a wide shot. You saw just the two
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: of them laughing during it. I think it's indefensible. I'm
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: not sure what you're quoting this guy as saying what
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: I saw with my own eyes didn't happen because it
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: happened and it was awful. It should not have happened.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Anybody else, you would have blasted him. If that had
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: been Cuomo, you would have blasted him. This guy hates AOC.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Hates Zoran Ragusa. That's his history. So what? So if
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: he's trying to clear the record, you're just basically saying
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: you're lying. I am saying he's lying because I saw
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: it with my own eyes. You could see who was
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: behind him. You saw the shot passing around. This guy
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: is Rudy's bodyguard. I don't care. You keep bringing him
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: up like that's the fit of it. You're here, but
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: you know and he doesn't. But there's a camera there.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Maybe you should have a conversation. There's a camera there.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: I don't want to have a conversation with him. Apparently,
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: you're his spokesperson and you're here saying this. He hates Orhan.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: He hates AOC.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Why not listen to him?
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Why do you love this guy?
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: You.
• 29:22
  Speaker 8: for something he hates me mom daddy treated you nice
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: mom daddy didn't go after you and you stop you
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: won't say a bad thing you weren't there this guy
• 29:32
  Speaker 8: was there on my video i saw the pictures stop
• 29:35
  Speaker 8: it it was live everything was live you saw everything
• 29:39
  Speaker 8: i don't to have a conversation with him.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Nah, you don't want to talk with the person who
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: was right there. No, you're his spokesperson. I hear from you.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: I'm not his spokesperson. You sure seem to love him.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Anyway, up next, there was Donald Trump at a golf
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: tournament at his golf course in Ireland who.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Had two things to say. One, that got universal applause.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: And one thing.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: It wasn't well received by some who don't want a
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: unified Ireland. And up next, don't miss our iHeartRadio Music

  Speaker 1: on Hit Nation on the free iHeartRadio app this Friday
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: and Saturday night. So the president was over at his
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: golf course and club in Ireland for the Ireland Open.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: And while he was there, he had met with the
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: leadership of Ireland. And he had comments galore that had
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: nothing at all to do with the playing of golf.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: But I think, Larry, the one comment that got the
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: most applause out of the many comments he made had
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: to do with the fact that he said, you know,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: I've heard enough, I've heard enough, I've heard enough to
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: lift all tariffs on Irish whiskey, which is 15%. I
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: guess I'm going to have to do that. And the
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: crowd broke out in a rousing cheer and applause for that.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: And I'm certain that that was heard back here in
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: the United States where people were applauding it also.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: And everybody's been bugging me. They're saying, would you do
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: me a favor? It's so unfair what's going on.
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: Could you possibly take the tariffs off of Irish whiskey.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was pretty popular with the crowd. Now, everywhere
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: he goes, people are going to go to him. Hey,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: could you take the tariffs off this? Could you take
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: the tariffs off this? Especially in news, because he didn't
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: stop talking about it. He got applause one time. That's it.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: On behalf of.
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: The United States of America, I am going to take
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: the tariffs off him.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Hey, guess what? I'm the hero.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Years ago, when I could drink, I would drink Jameson,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: which was Irish whiskey.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: I loved it.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Couldn't drink after I had Crohn's disease, obviously, but I
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: know there are a lot of people here who love
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Irish whiskey, so they're cheering, too, because now they'll have
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: to pay a reduced back to a normal price for
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: the bottle of whiskey that they buy or the whiskey
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: they order at the bar.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I like German sauerkraut. I like that too.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: They're going to take the tariffs off that now? I mean,
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: every country he goes to, they have some product, some
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: food that's popular in America. Now that he did this,
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: I would think every single country is going to go. Oh,
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: I would think so also. Yeah, he's going to say it.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: How about this? How about this?
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Now, one thing he weighed in on the unification of Ireland,
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: which I'm in favor of, the 26 counties in the
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: south and the six in the north, Northern Ireland, which
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: would make 32.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: As much as I'm in favor of that.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to be weighing into
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: the business of other countries because obviously England did not
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: look fondly upon him mentioning that.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Well, listen, we have our problems with England. We've had
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: our problems with Great Britain. but not so much Ireland.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: He's loved in Ireland, and he loves Ireland, so I
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: think that he was doing the right thing, taking a
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: shot at Great Britain. But you know what? It wasn't
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: like he came out and gave an edict. He was pretty,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: he was soft-spoken on the whole thing.
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: I've always loved the people of Ireland, and it just
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: seems to me that you have Northern Ireland, then you
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: have Ireland, and it would seem to me that one
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: of the naturals of all time is Ireland. Put them together.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: That's only my opinion. Yeah, it's only my opinion. You
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: know who was the last guy that said something about
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: unifying Ireland? He wrote a song about it and took
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: a lot of blowback in his own country. It was
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Paul McCartney. Give Ireland back to the Irish. Remember that song? Yeah,
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: I thought, uh-oh. There goes his following in Great Britain,
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: but not so much.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Well, the interesting thing, they split the leadership in Northern
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Ireland between Sinn Féin and the Loyalists. And the Loyalists are,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Concerned because the Catholics are having babies at a faster
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: rate than they are, so eventually the Catholics will persevere
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: when a vote comes about. Anyway, up next, you heard
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: it for days, the threats of AI from some of
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: the CEOs, and then the blowback from the president himself
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: who commented on it while he was in Ireland. You
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: know there's going to be more discussion about it. as
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Congress has been asked to weigh in and put in
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: some guardrails. But boy, you talk about a dystopian concept
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: that these CEOs have put forward.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: We're also looking for talkbacks, by the way. Yes. So
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: go to the iHeartRadio app and leave us a talkback.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: We have all of them coming up next. Anything we've
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: been talking about today, about the 9-11 ceremony, about Donald Trump, anything. Now,
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: news at 7 o'clock.
