  Speaker 1: Sid and friends in the morning, entertaining and informative.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: On the red apple podcast network.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: The guy also, he, he's, he's unbelievable. That song. I
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: don't know what it is.
• 0:13
  Speaker 4: Every time I listened to the song and I think
• 0:15
  Speaker 4: probably the listeners feel the same way. Every time I
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: hear that song, I get tingling. I get tingling and
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: I feel even more American.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: I do. I feel the same way. You do, right?
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: I feel the same way. And, uh, he was great. And, uh,
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: We made a donation to his favorite charity and... What
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: is his favorite charity?
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Himself.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: You know, I like it. I like the way he thinks.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: And speaking of America, speaking of New York, you know...
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: Every year, we have something called UNGA, the United Nations
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: General Assembly.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: And to those of you that may- All these fancy words.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Nobody knows what UNGA is. The United Nations General Assembly.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: If you stop the next hundred people on the street,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: how many people know what UNGA is? Well, they're going
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: to say we know what UNGA is. We know what
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: UNGA is. Absolutely.
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: So UNGA, the United Nations General Assembly, it's starting up again.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: And how do you know it in New York? Because
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: there are no taxis on the road. You know, everything
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: is closed. You have closures all over. The police are everywhere.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: They're skirting around all of the diplomats. By the way,
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: it's great for New York. It happens to be great
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: for New York. And who's coming tomorrow?
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: I wonder how much money it brings in.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: It brings in a ton of money. I'll actually look
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: it up during the break. But, John, it brings in
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: a lot of money. And you know who's coming in
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: in order to speak tomorrow? Your favorite person. Well, Zorhan
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: is here already.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: No, no, I'm talking about President Donald J. Trump. No,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: he's coming in this afternoon. Yes, but he's speaking tomorrow.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: He's going to be at the Gracie Mansion this afternoon.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: And then there's a dinner somewhere in New York. I'm
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: not going to disclose. And, of course, you will be there.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: With some of his supporters. I'm supposed to be there, yes. Yeah, okay.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: I did not get invited to Gracie Mansion. No. By
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: the way, neither did I.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: So, interestingly enough, you all may remember that last year—
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: When Trump was heading to speak at UNGA, remember the
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: famous escalator that automatically shut down as soon as he
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: stepped on it and he called sabotage?
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Let me be clear about something.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: If that happens again, I think the FBI, the CIA,
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Secret Service, I think that the elevator operator is going
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: to end up getting deported, even if he's an American.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: I do truly believe it. They did that on purpose.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: I don't know whether they did it on purpose. It's
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: awfully convenient that the second he steps onto the escalator,
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: the thing was running all day long. I mean, if not,
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: it's a tremendous coincidence that he should play Powerball.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Me and Rita, the number one show in the afternoon
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: on WABC is the 5 o'clock show. And some of
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: the people that runs our website or runs our internet service,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Guess what? It happened twice in two weeks. We were
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: shut off. Really?
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: And you think that that was done intentionally? You never know.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Twice in two weeks? You know, they always say, be careful.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: Be careful when you're number one, because everybody's gunning for you.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Well, especially maybe one of our competitors runs part of
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: the internet service. Or they also say, it's good to
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: be number one, but don't step on number two. Guess what?
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: What?
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I don't give a crap. Well, that's true.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: So here over at the United Nations General Assembly, you know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: they're going to, of course, talk a lot about what's
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: going on.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: They're going to talk a lot about Donald Trump. That
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: I can assure you. That's going to be the whole conversation.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: The whole conversation.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: They are working hard, whether it's the Europeans or whether it's,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: I don't want to say the Canadians because I don't
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: believe all the Canadians are. Whether it's Carney, the Canadian
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: prime minister, who went over to see Macron. I don't understand.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: North America has to stick together. I don't understand that.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Well, look, as a dual citizen, and yes, I agree,
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Canadians are good people. I don't like the fact that
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: what they're doing is that they are... They're attacking... This administration,
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: not just President Trump, but they're attacking this administration before
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: the upcoming November elections.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're what? Less than 60 days out. I
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: think somebody said this morning 47 days. Is it that little?
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: 47 is less than 60.
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: 46?
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Something like that, right? Holy crap.
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: So let me be clear about something.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: I don't care whether or not you like this administration
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: or you dislike this administration. No foreign country should be
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: interfering in any way, shape, or form with our elections.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Well, they're taking the position that we're interfering with their lifestyle.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Don't forget, because we had a lot of stupid people
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: driving the United States of America. Newt Gingrich and President Clinton.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: brought down the deficit from $ 5. 5 trillion down to $ 5 trillion.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Ever since then, it's been climbing. And what happens is
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: the other countries, we gave Europe a break. We gave
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Germany a break on their cars. We wanted them to recover.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: We gave Canada a break. We gave everybody a break.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: And guess what? The deficit is up to $ 40 trillion. Now,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: President Trump being a businessman first because he's always been
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: a businessman. And what he's trying to do is make
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: it more of a fairer playing field. They don't like it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: They don't like it. So I think we have 45
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: days to see how much they don't like it. Yeah.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: And you know what?
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: Personally, I don't care if they do or they don't.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Every country has a right to its sovereignty. Every country
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: has a right to protect itself, whether it's economically.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Or whether it's by the borders.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: But here's what I do know that Trump is going
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: to highlight during his two-day visit here into New York
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: for this General Assembly. He will highlight how he and
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: this administration, John, have confronted these extremely complex issues and
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: problems around the world. And he's going to be meeting with,
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: of course, Ambassador Waltz. He's going to be meeting with Zelensky.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: He's going to be leading with Mayor Mondani. He's going
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: to be meeting with a whole slew of the heads
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: of state. I think, if I'm not mistaking, there's something
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: like 130 heads of state, 130 are coming. I mean,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: when you turn around and you talk about moving these
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: folks around down the center, for example, of 57th all
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: the way, they block off the entire center of the street,
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: literally so that they could move around. And that's nothing
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: compared to when the president shows up. Then, John, it's
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: all hell breaking loose.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you something. All the diplomats being in
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: New York, You're right. When the president shows up, then
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: we're going to have a mess.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, then it becomes— because, look, you know, they've already taken, what,
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: four shots at the guy? So you could imagine that
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: security is going to be even tighter, especially the fact
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: that this is New York and— It's so easy to
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: get to New York, whether it's by train, by car,
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: by plane. So I'm certain that Secret Service is going
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: to be everywhere. You know, I live in a building,
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: in a Trump building, and I can tell you we
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: already have Secret Service that have come around. They're already
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: beginning to check. And I'm actually thankful. I'm thankful to
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: the men and to the women of blue here in
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: New York. I'm thankful to the Secret Service, the FBI,
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: for keeping all of us safe. Not just the president,
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: all of us safe. And while we're sitting here and
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: we're talking about that, I can't begin to tell you
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: the number of people who actually want John, the United Nations,
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: they want them to move. I never want to see
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: the United Nations move. I remember going to the United
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: Nations when I was a young kid. I remember spending
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: so much time walking those halls year after year as
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: part of school trips. Why would anybody, John, ever want
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: them to leave?
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Well, let me say something. Maybe not leave, but how
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: about we give them, put them on the people of
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Roosevelt Island will hate me. Roosevelt Island or Governor's Island or...
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: That way, they still have to come back to civilization
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: to go to dinner. I don't know.
• 9:23
  Speaker 8: What do you think?
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: I think it's too hard. You know, it's too hard.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: It's not easy to get to, you know, to the
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: General Assembly. It won't be easy to get to the building.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Roosevelt Island, you know, we take that— tram that's over
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: there and if you want to drive you got to
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: drive all the way around.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: It'd be one big mess.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah it would be even harder unless what we built
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: is some sort of a massive facility there that everybody
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: but everybody sort of it would take away a lot
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: of money from New York that I can tell you.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: You know and speaking of New York and I hate
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: to say it because I know the president is going
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: to see him this afternoon over at Gracie Mansion our
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: mayor our illustrious mayor has decided that you know it's
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: a very big topic well everything is going on and
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: he filled his 200th pothole yesterday somewhere in Brooklyn forget
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: about it There's a billion potholes still remaining here in Manhattan.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: This genius has decided that what we need, porta-potties. We
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: need special porta-potties, very much like the way you have
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: them in Europe because I think there's something like over 1,100
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: places that people can use the bathroom, public restrooms.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: It's not enough for.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: The 8.6 million people who are traversing New York. So
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: they now have these special porta-potties. John, you have any
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: idea what the cost on each one of these toilets are?
• 10:50
  Speaker 9: I don't know, $ 10, 000, $ 20, 000, $ 30, 000?
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: How about $ 240, 000 a crapper? $ 240, 000 each? $ 240, 000 to drop
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: a load. Damn straight. Is there such a thing as
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: a department of investigation who made that deal? Mayor Mom
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Dumpy is what they should.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Start calling him. No, I'm not.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Listen, I'm not going to. You can say whatever you want.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to call him a name. Well, I am. Because,
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: you know, it's just. You can go on with Sid.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: You'll make a better player.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: Well, Sid and I don't agree on a lot. We
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: do agree on this, that this is beyond ridiculous and stupid.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: $ 240, 000. That's a lot of money. It sure is.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: And they're going to put something like 11 of them.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: As if 11 is going to change anything.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: It's not going to change anything. Nothing. So somebody got
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: a $ 2 million contract. I think it's four. 11 times
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: two and a half. Yeah, but... $ 3 million contract.
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, I heard it was somewhere between everything, installation, management.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Somebody somewhere, the U.S. Attorney's Office or somebody, find out
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: who got that $ 3 million contract. Well, all I know
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: is that it is absolutely nonsensical.
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: Eleven.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: How about turning around and maybe I don't know, offering
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: some sort of a discount to restaurants so that they
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: take out those signs that say bathroom for customers only?
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: How about make it convenient? I mean, do you know
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: how many toilets that there are between restaurants?
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: If you take out the sign and say that the
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: restaurants have to use, that people have to use their bathrooms,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: you know what's going to happen? Every homeless person will
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: be in the restaurants.
• 12:30
  Speaker 10: Agreed.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: I totally agree. And Where do you think that the homeless...
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Give us another alternative. I don't know. Think about it.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: I don't have an alternative. I don't think the alternative is.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: I think a smarter thing was. Why don't you Google?
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Google is always... Or AI it. Or chat GPT it.
• 12:52
  Speaker 11: Hold on.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: I'm going to do that. What is the average cost
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: of a crapper? Okay? So if you're going to spend.
• 12:59
  Speaker 11: $ 3 million.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: How many real crappers can you get for $ 3 million?
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's what business is meant to do. You
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: know what?
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: That's an interesting question. And the answer is, according to
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: the cost of a porta potty depends primarily on whether
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: you are renting or buying it. Well, let's say that
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: we want to buy it.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Well, you could actually rent them for $ 100 a day.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: But the cost to purchase these products, Deluxe ADA-compliant units
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: are anywhere from $ 2, 000 to $ 3, 500. $ 2, 000 to $ 3, 500.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: So, Mayor, let's do the mathematics. Let's say it's $ 1, 000, okay? $ 1, 000,
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: he gave a $ 3 million contract for 11 border parties
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: that could serve very few people.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: If you only spent $ 1, 000, you can get.
• 13:37
  Speaker 12: $ 3, 000.
• 13:37
  Speaker 10: $ 3, 000.
• 13:37
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: 3,000 porta-potties, and you make a deal for the $ 1, 000.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Even if you pay $ 1, 100, they paint them nicely, et cetera,
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: et cetera. No, these porta-potties are nice. You know, when
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: you got to go, you got to go. Who cares
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: what it looks like? I heard that word someplace. When
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: you got to go, you got to go. No, that's
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: when you know you know. With 1,000, when you have
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: to go, you have to go. Right, that's for sure.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: That would be the name of my next. When you
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: have 1,000 porta-potties instead of 11 of them, guess what?
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: you're going to take care of a lot more people.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: And so the same way that they have these sort
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: of city bikes all over the place, so put a
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: bunch by Central Park, put a bunch of them by
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: Times Square, put a bunch of them downtown, put them
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: all over.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Now, if it's assigned to the sanitation department, Are they
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: going to go on strike because they have to take
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: care of the crappers? Okay, so that's a good point.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Who's going to take care of them?
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: The same people who are taking care of these $ 250, 000 crappers.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: Somebody has to have maintenance on them. Give somebody a
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: maintenance contract.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: $ 3 million for 11 crappers? Yeah, could you imagine? It's
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: $ 4 million, I think, by the way I'm looking.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: Worse than that, you also have to give them a
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: management and a maintenance contract. Give the same maintenance contract
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: to somebody, but do it as you said.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: You see, John... That's why you.
• 15:13
  Speaker 10: Need a businessman.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Would you like to give that maintenance contract to the
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: guy that just sold you 11 of them for $ 3
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: million or $ 4 million? That's for sure. He's probably charging
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: $ 400 a roll of toilet paper.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Well. Look, this crap is not going to go away.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: That's a lot of crap.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: It sure is. That's a lot. This is Michael Cohen
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: and John Katsimatidis sitting in for Sid.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Stay with us.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: We have a crazy good show lineup for you coming
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: up and a lot of facts to talk about.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: The Rush Hour with Bo Snardley. Democrats look at you
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: as an enemy. They don't think you deserve what you've earned.
• 15:52
  Speaker 8: They think they should have it so they can waste
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: it on anybody and anything that they want to waste
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: it on and people who have no ambition, unaccomplished all
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: their lives because they want to feed off others. Democrats
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: find them so worthy.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: The Rush Hour. With Bo Snardley. Weekdays at 4 p.m.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: on 77 WABC.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: WABC. Traffic in transit.
• 16:17
  Speaker 14: Well, from the Appleback traffic desk, a couple of new
• 16:19
  Speaker 14: problems in New Jersey. The big one's on Route 80
• 16:21
  Speaker 14: on the eastbound side in the local lanes, right by
• 16:24
  Speaker 14: Route 17 in Lodi. That ramp is going to be
• 16:26
  Speaker 14: shut down because of an accident. That's causing some problems.
• 16:29
  Speaker 14: And then also, as you begin to travel out onto
• 16:32
  Speaker 14: the New Jersey Turnpike, getting off at Interchange 85. There
• 16:36
  Speaker 14: is an accident there apparently heading on to Route, I'm sorry, 8A,
• 16:38
  Speaker 14: getting on to Route 130. So again, as you travel
• 16:41
  Speaker 14: out on the turnpike, you're going to have that problem. Now,
• 16:44
  Speaker 14: if you're outbound on the LIE right by the BQE,
• 16:46
  Speaker 14: there was a stall in the right lane. At that point,
• 16:48
  Speaker 14: that looks like that's been cleared, but we do have
• 16:51
  Speaker 14: some slow traffic on the inbound side now, right on
• 16:53
  Speaker 14: through Queens Boulevard. Southbound BQE, Queens Boulevard, down to the Cush.
• 16:57
  Speaker 14: Just go the inbound side of the Gowanus BQE. We're
• 17:00
  Speaker 14: slow from the Prospect on up to the Brooklyn Bridge.
• 17:03
  Speaker 14: And coming inbound at the Hudson River crossings, you've got
• 17:05
  Speaker 14: about a 20-minute delay at the George Washington Bridge. About
• 17:08
  Speaker 14: the same at the Lincoln and Holland tunnels. And alternate
• 17:10
  Speaker 14: side again today is suspended. Don't forget, presidents in town.
• 17:14
  Speaker 14: It's also U.N. General Assembly week. Delay is frozen zones. Anytime, anywhere,
• 17:19
  Speaker 14: you want to avoid the U.N. I always tell people
• 17:21
  Speaker 14: really east of Lexington Avenue from the 50s down into
• 17:23
  Speaker 14: the 30s. And like I said, alternate side is suspended.
• 17:26
  Speaker 14: Traffic is sponsored by Apple Bank. Now at the highest
• 17:29
  Speaker 14: annual percentage yield this year on any 6- to 12-month CD.

  Speaker 14: I'm Joe Nolan with traffic on Talk Radio 77.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: WABC. Hello again. Welcome, welcome, welcome back. It is not Sid.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: It is John Katsimatidis. By the way, I love that song.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Me too. He was, Herb Oscar Anderson was our star
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: at WABC. I don't know. Was it the 60s or
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: the 70s? No, I'd say it's probably the 60s. But
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: he used to sing that song. But that song, you
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: wake up to that song. Let's listen to it one
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: more time.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Isn't that a beautiful song? It is. It makes you
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: glad you woke up. Let's just say this. It's a
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: little different than the songs that we hear today on
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: the radio. Oh, my God.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: With animals like this Macklemore, this anti-Semite Macklemore.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: You know, John.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: As soon as I turned on the television this morning,
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: I woke up at about 4 a.m.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Because I had to be here with you. I went
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: back to sleep at 4 a.m. Oh, did you? No,
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: not me. You slept for another hour. I turned on
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: the television.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: I started reading some of the newspapers, and yet again,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: one of the biggest topics on CNN, MSNOW, I was
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: flipping through all the stations, is the fact that President
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: Trump has caused CNN, MSNOW, and Politico to have their
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: credentials pulled.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: Now, we all know that they're going to get it back.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: We've seen this story before, but I understand his frustration.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: You know, one of the things that they turn around,
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: and even if you go to, for example, NBC's news,
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: all they want to talk about is President Trump's approval ratings.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: And it turns around, and I'm literally reading from an
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: article that came out seven hours ago, states that the
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: president's approval rating stands at 41% among registered voters.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: 41%.
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: You know what they don't say in that article, John?
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Because I just looked it up during the break. As
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: of September 2026, national polls show that Democratic Party favorability
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: guess what it's averaging?
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: What is it? 41%. Now, let me ask a question.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: You know, we keep playing that thing that Vice President,
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: my God, I mean, it's 6 o'clock in the morning. Who, Vance? No,
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: the other vice president.
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: Mike Pence?
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: That play. Do we have a copy of it? All right,
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: let's just play those two sentences. Well, in the interim,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: while he's getting it, 41% approve of Democrats and 41%
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: approve of President Trump. Okay, there's a lot of disapproval.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Let's hear what Mike Pence had to say.
• 20:33
  Speaker 15: But I tell people, in some respects, I think Republicans
• 20:35
  Speaker 15: have lost their way, but Democrats have lost their minds.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: So that's why they... I mean, you can't vote for
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: a Democrat right now because if they have surrendered to
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: the Socialist Party, I mean, we don't want the United
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: States of America going socialism. That's bottom line. And here's
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: the bottom line.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: The bottom line is the fact that Americans right now
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: are unhappy with both sides. You know, more Democrats have,
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: myself included, we now identify more as independent than we
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: do as Democrats.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: And why?
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: It's not as many Republicans that have gone to the
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: independent view. It's more Democrats.
• 21:21
  Speaker 13: And why?
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: Because, John, of these Democratic Socialists of America, these DSA
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: candidates that are everything that.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: Is wrong for America. everything. You have a president that
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: fights every single day for what?
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: He's fighting for our famous lines, truth, justice, and the
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: American way, but he's really fighting for America's security, our
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: national security. If I hear one more person bitch and
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: complain to me, John, about the fact that it's $ 1.
• 21:50
  Speaker 10: 10, $ 1.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: 15 more per gallon of gas, You know why we
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: got to sleep for the few hours that we did, John?
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Because we know that our country is safe. We are
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: safe from countries.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: Like Iran, these Islamist theocracies, these jihadist theocracies that legitimately
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: want to kill our Western society.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: They want to kill Americans.
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: And if they got their hands on a nuke, which
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: according to President Trump, while he was on my show,
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: when you know, you know, turned around and said that
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: they were two weeks away from having a nuclear device
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: Iran is working right now side by side with China,
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: with Russia, with North Korea to obtain jet propulsion technology
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: so that they can actually launch an attack that would
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: hit the shores of the United States, regardless of the waters.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: You know, I was out for dinner the other night,
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: and a friend of mine says, you know why we've
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: never been attacked by countries like Iran or the Middle East?
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Because we have something called an ocean.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: We have the Atlantic. We have the Pacific. That doesn't
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: mean anything anymore.
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: That's BS.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Not even the Pacific Ocean means anything anymore. None of it.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: None of it means anything. You know why?
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: Because the new technology, John, is not even to fly straight.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: It's to fly up and then down. And you know
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: the reason for Greenland?
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: Because in the future, they go over the North Pole.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's a real problem.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: And it's also why Trump is so heavy on this
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: concept of Space Force. When you send it up into
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: the stratosphere... Well, you know something?
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: I'm going to text General Teichert and see if he
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: wants to come on this morning.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: Oh, that would be fantastic. Because nobody really fully understands
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: the concept and the need for something like Space Force
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: more than General Teichert. And you had General Teichert on
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: your show just a couple of days ago, if I'm not.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Mistaken, right? I did. It was last week when he
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: was Space Force... announced, Space Force announced that they put
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: out those mysterious vessels or spaceships in the, well, they
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: launched them. You know, I want to go back, John,
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: for a second.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: I want to keep talking about this nonsense, this BS
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: about you know, which party's going to win the House
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: and who's winning, even according to this NBC article. And
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: I understand, again, Trump's frustration with not being able to
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: talk about any of the accomplishments. Oh, if there's an accomplishment, yeah,
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: but look at the reflecting pool. Look at the reflecting pool, John.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: It's a complete and total nightmare. It's a freaking pool,
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: for God's sakes. It's a maintenance issue. Me, personally, I
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: don't even understand why the president involved himself, but that's
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: just him. It's the same when I used to walk
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: with him on the golf course, and he would see
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: that they're over on the far right side. My eyes
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: don't even see that far. Even at the age, at
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: the time he was in his mid-70s, he would say,
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: there's a puddle of water over there. I swear, John,
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: this is a true story. We were over at At Briarcliff,
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: at one of the golf courses, and he saw off
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: the right side, he saw that there was a puddle
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: of water. So I said, yeah, well, it's probably just
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: like a little, you know, enclave there when it rained
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: and so on.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: He says, no, there's a leak. I said, you think?
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: He goes, I know so. And he had the manager
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: come out, had them dig it up, and lo and behold,
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: there was a leak. He sees these things. So when
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: you turn around and you start talking about, for example, again,
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: these poles and What ends up happening? According to even NBC, Democrats,
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: they claim, hold a five-point edge in the battle for
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: control of Congress. They don't turn around and say that
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: there's a margin of error of like 50 points because
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: they get.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: It wrong all the time. The margin of error is
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: very high. Polling, and we could have John McLaughlin on
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: later on, but he's a pollster and he's a good friend. But,
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: you know, if he it's getting tougher and tougher.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: But the only one thing that NBC actually said, which
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: was at least fair and unbiased is that it's not
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: nearly as large as the 12 point advantage that they
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: claim that they were going to have coming into these
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: midterm elections. 12 points is a massive landslide. I never
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: understood what, you know, What people don't realize is I
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: am a registered Democrat. I've been a Democrat virtually my
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: entire life, but I'm also a realist. And yes, I
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: get it. There are a lot of people who dislike
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: president Trump. There are a lot of people who love
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: the guy too, but those that dislike him, they are
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: so loud, John, they're so vile and cruel. And yet
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: they always turn around and they say, it's the Republicans
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: who are the most vile. What says you, my friend?
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: Well, You know, at the end of the day, you
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: know who has to decide? Everybody has to listen. That's
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: why at WABC, I provide both sides of the story.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: And I think that's why everybody, you know, we had
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: Hunter Biden on a couple weeks ago. We had President
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Clinton on. Because I believe everybody should be able to
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: speak out without being attacked. Yep. I don't care if
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: you're left of center, right of center. You speak out
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: without getting attacked.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: Amen to that. You know, we're going to take a break.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: And when we come back again, we have so much
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: to discuss. So I don't go anywhere. We'll be right back.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: W.A.B.C. Traffic in transit.
• 27:25
  Speaker 14: From the Apple Bank traffic desk as you begin to
• 27:27
  Speaker 14: travel on the Bronx River Parkway on the southbound side. Now,
• 27:30
  Speaker 14: this is a new one at one hundred and seventy
• 27:32
  Speaker 14: seven street. There is an accident there that is in
• 27:35
  Speaker 14: the process. being cleared up and out of the way.
• 27:37
  Speaker 14: If you're on the LIE heading outbound right at the
• 27:39
  Speaker 14: Brooklyn Queens Expressway, there's an accident. And then on the
• 27:42
  Speaker 14: northbound side, getting up to the LIE, you've got an
• 27:45
  Speaker 14: accident as well on the Brooklyn Queens Expressway. So a
• 27:47
  Speaker 14: couple of problems right in that same area. Now over
• 27:50
  Speaker 14: in New Jersey, this is going to be an old
• 27:52
  Speaker 14: bridge on Route 34 in both directions. You have an
• 27:55
  Speaker 14: accident investigation going on now. All lanes are closed in
• 27:58
  Speaker 14: both directions right around the area of County Road 645.
• 28:02
  Speaker 14: So That's going to be a major local problem there.
• 28:06
  Speaker 14: And then also, as you travel out onto the Jersey Turnpike,
• 28:09
  Speaker 14: getting off at Interchange 8A.
• 28:11
  Speaker 11: There is an accident.
• 28:12
  Speaker 14: That also being cleared. As we said before, the President
• 28:14
  Speaker 14: of the United States is in town today.
• 28:16
  Speaker 11: It's a U.N.
• 28:17
  Speaker 14: General Assembly as well. So delays, frozen zones, complete closures, anytime, anywhere.
• 28:21
  Speaker 14: You want to avoid the area of the U.N. And
• 28:24
  Speaker 14: as I say, I would make a box in your mind,
• 28:27
  Speaker 14: Lexington Avenue. with 57th Street at the top, 34th Street
• 28:30
  Speaker 14: at the bottom, and I'd avoid that whole box there.
• 28:33
  Speaker 11: And alternate side is suspended.
• 28:34
  Speaker 14: With an Apple Bank pick-your-own-term CD, get a guaranteed rate
• 28:37
  Speaker 14: of return that fits your 6- to 12-month timeline. Stop

• 29:15
  Speaker 16: of three to Arizona. New York led four to one
• 29:17
  Speaker 16: on Sunday. Then things fell apart in the fifth. Nelson
• 29:20
  Speaker 16: hit a grand slam to put the Diamondbacks in front.
• 29:23
  Speaker 16: Arizona then went on to win eight to four. Will
• 29:25
  Speaker 16: Warren gave up four runs on six hits over four
• 29:28
  Speaker 16: in the third innings. He says he got into trouble
• 29:30
  Speaker 16: when he stopped getting ahead of the hitters.
• 29:32
  Speaker 10: I don't know.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: I just fell behind.
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: Um i thought i made some good pitches tight there
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: moreno's walk was just.
• 29:41
  Speaker 16: Off the plate the yankees hit three home runs in
• 29:44
  Speaker 16: the third inning but didn't score again after that arizona's
• 29:47
  Speaker 16: bullpen through six and a third scoreless innings manager aaron
• 29:50
  Speaker 16: boone says the yankees couldn't build on their early.
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: Lead yeah i mean they've got a good relief core
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: obviously a lot of Big arms, they run out of
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: there with kind of different skill sets.
• 30:00
  Speaker 16: The Yankees are now 89-66. They've already clinched a playoff spot,
• 30:05
  Speaker 16: but they still trail Tampa Bay by six games in
• 30:07
  Speaker 16: the American League East. Those two teams meet Tuesday in
• 30:10
  Speaker 16: the Bronx. The four-game series starts with a split doubleheader.
• 30:14
  Speaker 16: First pitch is at 105, game two at 705. The
• 30:17
  Speaker 16: Mets also lost on Sunday. Philadelphia beat New York 7-2
• 30:21
  Speaker 16: in the Mets' final home game of the season. Christopher
• 30:24
  Speaker 16: Sanchez allowed two runs over six in the third innings.
• 30:27
  Speaker 16: Justin Crawford helped break it open with a three-run triple.
• 30:30
  Speaker 16: The Mets now finish their season on the road. They
• 30:32
  Speaker 16: have six games left against Texas and Washington. And the
• 30:38
  Speaker 16: ceremony honoring retiring Mets radio voice Howie Rose was postponed
• 30:42
  Speaker 16: because of the weather. It's now going to be held
• 30:44
  Speaker 16: during the opening weekend in 2027. And the races are
• 30:51
  Speaker 16: back on over on Long Island. Racing and other events
• 30:54
  Speaker 16: are happening at Belmont Park after the track reopened this
• 30:57
  Speaker 16: past week following three years of construction. The new Belmont
• 31:01
  Speaker 16: has four racing surfaces, a large paddock, and a smaller
• 31:05
  Speaker 16: modern grandstand. The fall meet is now underway in Elmont.
• 31:09
  Speaker 16: For WABC Sports, I'm Nino DiNino.
• 31:12
  Speaker 17: Go to PeerlessBoilers.com to find a dealer near you.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Peerless Boilers, the world's best built boilers. You talk.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: We listen. 77 WABC. This is Sid and Friends in
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: the Morning.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: 77 WABC.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: Well, I like music better than Sid's music. So do I.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Kevin Drosh. I like our music better. Good choice.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: Let's go to Staten Island. We got Vito Fussella, the
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: borough president. Well, Vito Fussella, give us an update. What
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: the heck is going on in Staten Island?
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: Well, good morning, John. Always good to be with you.
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: So we have a situation that we really don't have
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: answers to and it involves... some area called Clove Lakes Park.
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: Clove Lakes Park, for those who may not be familiar,
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: is sort of like Staten Island Central Park or Prospect
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: Park in Brooklyn. It's a little over a mile long.
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: It consists of about three different waterways interconnected, Clove Lake,
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: Martling Lake, and Brooks Lake.
• 32:22
  Speaker 12: And it's beautiful.
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: Thousands of people use it. They walk through the paths.
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: They play baseball, basketball. The kids use the playgrounds. And
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: it's about 100 years old. So the plumbing and everything
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: associated with it is like an old house. And within
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: the last year, there have been two situations where raw
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: sewage has got into the lake. And that's a problem
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: because the people deserve a safe, fun, healthy public recreation area.
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: And currently, they're not getting it. And it occurred earlier, say,
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: in March of 2026. And then recently, within the last
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: couple of weeks.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: And they had.
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: To suspend fishing and boating. So it's basically raw sewage
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: going into the lake. So what we really are going
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: to do today, officially, is call upon the city to
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: conduct a summit of sorts of getting everybody in one room,
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: all the agencies involved, to determine, you know, when did
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: this happen? How long has it been going on?
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Have we fixed it? And people still fishing in that lake?
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: Well, they suspended fishing about a week ago and boating
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: as well because they haven't identified the source. Well, they
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: think they know where the source is, but they don't
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: know how big it is.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: And they were eating the fish out of that lake
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: up to a week ago?
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: A few years ago, there was a situation where they
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: think it was related where they found a bunch of
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: dead fish literally coming over to the shore, if you will.
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: And it's a problem. We don't know. That's part of
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: the issue here. We don't know.
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: Vito, I've got a question for you because I'm aware,
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: and unfortunately we've had some issues in the past where
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: we used a special kind of a dye that you
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: drop into the water and it will, based upon the
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: color that the dye will turn, it will give you
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: an idea in terms of where there could be a
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: leak or where you'll have raw sewage. I mean, this
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: is just, Absolutely disgusting. And the fact that the city
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: is not jumping all over. Hey, folks, let me be clear.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: Staten Island is part of New York City. So New
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: York City, we have a responsibility to ensure that this lake,
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: that this park that you have is protected the same
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: way we would protect Central Park.
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: Well said, Michael, and you're right. There has been dye
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: tests going on, and we haven't seen the results of them.
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: And I think you put it, I put it in
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: my little way of, if this were Central Park, people
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: would be flipping out, and rightfully so, because it's really
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: a pristine place.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: It's beautiful.
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: People enjoy it. And unfortunately, I think some folks have
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: just been looking the other way, but it's too late now,
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: and we need to fix it. We need to fix
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: it sooner rather than later. And as I use the
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: analogy of an old house, is it just a leaky
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: pipe or the whole system needs to be replaced? And
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: we don't know, but it's unfair to the people who
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: use it. It's not unreasonable that there may be malfunctions,
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: but it's not unreasonable if people just wait year after
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: year or look the other way while the problem persists.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God. I know if I ate fish out
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: of that place, I would feel a little bit funny
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: right now. Yeah, I feel more than just a little funny.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Anything else going on in Staten Island you want to report?
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: Well, I just think that now school is back. We
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: have some great things going on with the kids, a
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: lot of renovations on the schools, and kids get to
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: enjoy new parks, auditoriums. But we're holding firm, John, on
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: Staten Island. We stick to the basics and fundamentals. We
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: keep our community safe. We support the men and women
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: in the police department. We support our schools. And all
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: we want is a clean park right now.
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: You know, Vito– If the park is no good, they
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: can always go hang out at John's Place, the Staten
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: Island Ferry Hawks. They can go catch a good game.
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: They could sit there, grab a good little meal, not
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: have to worry about Ross.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: We did not make the World Series at the Ferry
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: Hawks this year. They didn't?
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: Nope.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: What happened? We lost more than we won.
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: Ugh.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: But next year, we're going to win. And Wally, our
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: excellent manager in the Ferry Hawks, is making a big
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: comeback here, and he's committed. And he's bringing in 18,
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: I think you told me, 18 major leaguers.
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: 18 major leaguers.
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a good move on your part. And,
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: you know, John, you, Margo, and Michael there, you guys
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: are winners, and that's all we believe in. We believe
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: in you. Winning and doing the right thing, and you've
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: always done the right thing, so we appreciate it.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: Well, you have to keep fighting over there, Vito, especially
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: for the people of Staten Island, as you do. This,
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: by the way, is disgraceful. This is disgusting. Okay, I
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: get it. Pipes leak. Things like this happen. Not the issue.
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: The issue is how long is it going to take
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: to fix it?
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: Right. And you're right. And they did some diet tests.
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: We don't know, again, the full effects of it. But
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: Staten Island is my home. Staten Island has some tremendous people.
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: They love this country. They deserve the best. And we
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: need to give them the very best. So thank you, Michael.
• 37:40
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: Well, Vito, thank you for calling in. And we'll talk
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: to you again real soon. You got it.
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: Have a great day, guys.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: Thank you. You too, Vito.
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: Look, we're going to take a quick break. This is
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: Michael Cohen alongside John Katsimatidis. We have so many people
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: who are coming up. I have to take John's phone
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: in order to tell you who it is, but I'm
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: not going to.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: I just got a text from Constantinople, Istanbul, that Zach
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: Erdem from Southampton is listening to the show. Well, of
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: course they are.
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: We're worldwide.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: We are worldwide. We'll be right back.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: We'll be right back. W.A.B.C. Traffic and Transit.
• 38:17
  Speaker 14: Well, from the Apple Bank traffic desk, and as you
• 38:19
  Speaker 14: begin to travel out there this morning, we've got a
• 38:21
  Speaker 14: couple of things for you right near each other on
• 38:23
  Speaker 14: the L.I.E.
• 38:23
  Speaker 11: In Queens.
• 38:25
  Speaker 14: On the outbound side, right by the BQE, there was
• 38:27
  Speaker 14: a stall there in the right lane. And then on
• 38:28
  Speaker 14: the BQE northbound, just before you get to the Long
• 38:31
  Speaker 14: Island Expressway, there was an accident. The right lane was
• 38:34
  Speaker 14: out of service. On the Bronx River Parkway southbound, coming
• 38:37
  Speaker 14: down to the Cross Bronx, right around 177th Street, there
• 38:40
  Speaker 14: is a crash there if you're coming inbound. At the
• 38:42
  Speaker 14: Hudson River Crossing, it's about a 20-minute delay now across
• 38:45
  Speaker 14: the board. But if you're heading inbound at the Holland
• 38:47
  Speaker 14: off of the Turnpike Extension, really only about a 5
• 38:50
  Speaker 14: to 10-minute delay. Now, if you're heading out onto Route
• 38:54
  Speaker 14: 34 in both directions, right as you get into Morristown
• 38:57
  Speaker 14: Road in Old Bridge, there's a pretty bad accident there.
• 38:59
  Speaker 11: They have an accident investigation that is ongoing.
• 39:02
  Speaker 14: And mass transit-wise, now, there is no Raritan Valley Line
• 39:05
  Speaker 14: service of New Jersey Transit between High Bridge and Raritan.
• 39:09
  Speaker 14: That because of a disabled train service. and alternate side

  Speaker 14: on Talk Radio 77.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: WABC.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: This is Sid and Friends in the Morning.
• 39:36
  Speaker 12: 77 WABC.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: Well, we are back.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: And now let's go wherever he is. Or he's eating
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: in Albany where he has a big headquarters up there.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: Or he's eating. Or he's eating. No, he's not eating.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: The last time I saw him, he was over at
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: your thing in the Hamptons.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: Anytime I see Todd, he's always eating.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: But he's on a diet. By the way, Todd's not
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: eating today. It's Yom Kippur. Well, he ate yesterday at Carnegie.
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: And he ate like it was going no tomorrow. And
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: he's so thin. Todd Shapiro, Zach Erdem is calling in
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: from Turkey somewhere. What was the name of that city?
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: I think like Erzincan. He's calling in from Bizinkan. It's
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: far from Istanbul is what he said. Tell us about
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: Carnegie Deli. Are you eating like no tomorrow? You like the.
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: The matzo ball soup. You liked the, what was it,
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: those make-believe hot dogs?
• 40:44
  Speaker 18: First of all, I left Zach in Turkey, just so
• 40:47
  Speaker 18: you know, like a few days before I saw you.
• 40:49
  Speaker 18: So I went from going to a mosque to going
• 40:51
  Speaker 18: to the Carnegie Deli. It was quite a revelation to
• 40:54
  Speaker 18: go into Yom Kippur. But that's another story.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: You'll have to.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: Thot your chest a few times harder this year.
• 41:03
  Speaker 10: Oh, my God. You know what?
• 41:05
  Speaker 12: It was intense. It really was intense. But one thing
• 41:09
  Speaker 12: I could tell you.
• 41:09
  Speaker 18: About Turkey, you could buy a lot of product for $ 3.
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: You know, I went to Istanbul with Trump. I don't
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: know if you know this, but Trump has a property there.
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: We went for the opening of it. It's called Trump
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: Tower and Mall in Istanbul, Turkey. The two of us
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: went there. We had a blast. And you're not wrong, Todd.
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: You can get everything relatively cheap.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: I went there with my friend Dennis Meal. And guess what?
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: We went to the palace. And they rented us the
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: entire palace. On the second floor, third floor, whatever it was,
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: the palace itself, it was like a 10,000 or 12,000
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: square foot suite. And they looked at us and says,
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: normally the price is $ 20, 000 a.
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: Night.
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: But for you, we'll give it to you for 8,000.
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: You're sure they're not Israeli?
• 42:00
  Speaker 13: Really?
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: They're business people. So let me ask you this. Whether
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: you're Turkish or Israeli, you know something? The people in
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: that part of the world are all business people.
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, business people are business. Hey, let me ask you this, though.
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: Both John and Todd, because I wasn't invited. Did they
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: have the food at the palace, like the Carnegie Deli?
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: Ten-year absence.
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: Ten years that New York has been missing. I, who
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: have been living in New York since 1991, I have
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: missed the Carnegie Deli, and I didn't even know that
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: they were reopening, but thanks to you guys, now I do.
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: I will be there tomorrow.
• 42:37
  Speaker 18: Listen, John was like the king there. When we walked in,
• 42:40
  Speaker 18: people came over. They were hugging him, thanking him for WABC,
• 42:45
  Speaker 18: for bringing truth back to news. It was like the
• 42:52
  Speaker 18: Jewish Pope went into the Carnegie Deli.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: And the line.
• 42:58
  Speaker 18: Went around the corner. And they walked in. You've never
• 43:04
  Speaker 18: seen anything like it. And they started bringing samples for
• 43:07
  Speaker 18: John to try everything.
• 43:09
  Speaker 12: I said, John, what do we get? Get everything.
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: We ordered everything.
• 43:13
  Speaker 18: Yeah. We started off with matzo ball soup. The matzo
• 43:17
  Speaker 18: balls were the size of tennis balls. And then we
• 43:21
  Speaker 18: went into, we went into stuffed cabbage. We went into,
• 43:24
  Speaker 18: they have a thing called Frankfurt of sushi, which, which
• 43:27
  Speaker 18: is really pigs in the blanket, but they call it
• 43:29
  Speaker 18: Frankfurt of sushi. That's the new addition to the Carnegie deli.
• 43:33
  Speaker 18: They have a few new items that they, they took
• 43:35
  Speaker 18: over the granddaughter and the mom, the mom, you know,
• 43:40
  Speaker 18: the mom still, mom still, it's the daughter of the
• 43:44
  Speaker 18: original owner and the granddaughter took over the place and
• 43:48
  Speaker 18: she's running it.
• 43:48
  Speaker 12: And let me tell you something. It's, You know what?
• 43:51
  Speaker 18: Back then, the Carnegie Deli, when it closed, it could
• 43:54
  Speaker 18: have been condemned because it was so, you know, it
• 43:56
  Speaker 18: had its day. It was beautiful, but it had its day. Now,
• 44:00
  Speaker 18: it's just so beautiful, and it brought back your memories.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: It's great.
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: The pictures back on the walls and the places, it's
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: so clean, you can eat off the floor.
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: Well, that's the way a restaurant should be, not like
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: the sewage that's going on there in Staten Island.
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: But I do want to say this to you, Todd. Me,
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: I remember my mom makes and still does the greatest
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: stuffed cabbage. I don't know how she does it. The
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: only one that I think actually, Mom, I hope you're
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: not listening, and I'm sure she is. The only place
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: that I used to absolutely Jones for was Carnegie Deli
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: stuffed cabbage.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: I love stuffed cabbage. You know, I took the pictures
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: that I took of the stuffed cabbage. I took pictures
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: of the— the cheesecake with the strawberries on top. I
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: took pictures of the sushi hot dog or whatever you
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: want to call it, and I sent it to all
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: my Jewish friends. And I said, I ate so much
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: today to prepare for the fast. And yet here we are.
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: Here we are.
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: 6 to 10, taking over for Sid in the morning.
• 45:10
  Speaker 18: They took John's photos. They took John's Instagram, and they
• 45:14
  Speaker 18: put it on the official Carnegie Deli website yesterday.
• 45:17
  Speaker 12: So anyone out there looking.
• 45:19
  Speaker 18: For the Carnegie Deli had John as, you know, as
• 45:21
  Speaker 18: basically promoting the Carnegie Deli, which is kind of iconic
• 45:25
  Speaker 18: in a way. I mean, you know, he is, you know,
• 45:27
  Speaker 18: he is a famous Greek American promoting, you know, Jewish
• 45:30
  Speaker 18: food throughout the world.
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: Well, he's not known, Todd, as the Pope of Carnegie
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: for no reason.
• 45:38
  Speaker 18: It was incredible. And let me tell you, they're stuffed
• 45:40
  Speaker 18: cabbage orgasmic. You know, if my wife came to me
• 45:44
  Speaker 18: and I said, I'm not in the mood, and she said,
• 45:47
  Speaker 18: what about stuffed cabbage?
• 45:48
  Speaker 12: I'd be in the mood.
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: You know, hold on. That's a great idea.
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: We should actually start marketing that, John. Is there a
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: way that we can market something like that? When your
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: wife has a headache, get her Carnegie stuffed cabbage?
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you something. The Carnegie stuffed cabbage was
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: extra good. Oh, it's amazing.
• 46:07
  Speaker 10: It's amazing.
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: What's the name of the new owner? I know the
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: last name is Harper. Sharon. Sherry.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: Sherry, yeah.
• 46:20
  Speaker 6: Sherry.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that way when I go in there, I'm
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: going to say, yeah, hi, Sherry, don't you remember me? No,
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: I have her. We'll text her and see if she
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: wants to come on. You know, there was one of
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: the things that really upset me.
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: Ten years ago when Carnegie closed, I was like, Where
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: am I going to get this kind of stuffed cabbage from?
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: You know, I like pastrami. I don't love pastrami, but
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: I do like it. Their stuffed cabbage, do they still
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: have those gigantic cut French fries too, Todd?
• 46:50
  Speaker 18: They have the French. Everything the old menu had plus more.
• 46:54
  Speaker 18: But they did it a little. The only thing I
• 46:57
  Speaker 18: missed there is the old Jewish waiters. They used to
• 47:00
  Speaker 18: have these Jewish waiters that looked like they were 103
• 47:04
  Speaker 18: years old. But they used to have these great stories. And,
• 47:08
  Speaker 18: you know, it's 10 years later. They probably moved on.
• 47:10
  Speaker 18: But they used to have some iconic waiters years ago.
• 47:13
  Speaker 18: They used to work at the Carnegie Deli that brought
• 47:16
  Speaker 18: a lot of, you know, a lot of history. I
• 47:17
  Speaker 18: think they were actors and they were really great.
• 47:20
  Speaker 12: But I got to say, everything was.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: A home run.
• 47:22
  Speaker 12: The everything we.
• 47:24
  Speaker 18: Had from the sushi to the and then we had
• 47:27
  Speaker 18: a Broadway Danny Rose show.
• 47:29
  Speaker 12: And it was like the size of it. Me and
• 47:32
  Speaker 12: John looked at each other.
• 47:33
  Speaker 18: We shook our head and said, no way. It was
• 47:35
  Speaker 18: just too big. And then another one called the Colossal.
• 47:39
  Speaker 18: And they have a motto at the Carnegie Deli now.
• 47:42
  Speaker 18: If you could finish the food, we didn't do our job.
• 47:45
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: Well, Todd Shapiro, thank you so much. Todd is our
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: restaurateur guy.
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: Make sure you tell Zach Erdem that until he comes back,
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: there's no more breakfasts at 75 Main Street in Southampton
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: until he comes back.
• 48:00
  Speaker 18: Well, Zach thinks you're coming over there, so I don't know.
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: Well, if he's not there, how can we go without Zach?
• 48:08
  Speaker 18: I don't think he's leaving until you come there. Actually,
• 48:12
  Speaker 18: you know what? One beautiful story about Zach is his mom,
• 48:17
  Speaker 18: you know, Zach started off very poor.
• 48:20
  Speaker 12: He was homeless when he came to this country.
• 48:22
  Speaker 18: Worked in Nellos. He started as a busboy living up
• 48:27
  Speaker 18: in the attic at Nellos. It was so bad that
• 48:30
  Speaker 18: a mouse bit his ear once.
• 48:33
  Speaker 20: And he worked at.
• 48:34
  Speaker 18: Nello's and he got fired from Nello's. Years later, he
• 48:37
  Speaker 18: came back and took in the Hamptons.
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: And he fired Nello.
• 48:42
  Speaker 18: He bought the restaurant he got fired from, which he
• 48:47
  Speaker 18: was a busboy, which he was homeless, went back. It's
• 48:51
  Speaker 18: the true American dream of what Zach accomplished and what
• 48:54
  Speaker 18: he did.
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: Only in America. We've got to take a hard break, Todd.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: Thanks for coming on. Todd, thank you. And we'll talk
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: to you again soon.
• 49:01
  Speaker 12: And Michael, you're doing a great job.
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: Thank you, my brother. Thank you.
• 49:04
  Speaker 6: Bye-bye.
• 49:13
  Speaker 16: The Yankees are back in the Bronx after dropping two
• 49:16
  Speaker 16: of three to Arizona. New York led 4-1 on Sunday,
• 49:19
  Speaker 16: then things fell apart in the fifth. Nelson hit a
• 49:22
  Speaker 16: grand slam to put the Diamondbacks in front. Arizona then
• 49:25
  Speaker 16: went on to win 8-4. Will Warren gave up four
• 49:28
  Speaker 16: runs on six hits over four in the third innings.
• 49:31
  Speaker 16: He says he got into trouble when he stopped getting
• 49:33
  Speaker 16: ahead of the hitters.
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I just fell behind. I thought I
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: made some good pitches.
• 49:39
  Speaker 13: Tight there.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: Moreno's walk was just off the plate.
• 49:43
  Speaker 16: The Yankees hit three home runs in the third inning,
• 49:46
  Speaker 16: but didn't score again after that. Arizona's bullpen threw six
• 49:49
  Speaker 16: in the third scoreless innings. Manager Aaron Boone says the
• 49:52
  Speaker 16: Yankees couldn't build on their early lead.
• 49:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, they've got a good relief core, obviously.
• 49:58
  Speaker 7: A lot of big arms, they run out of there
• 50:00
  Speaker 7: with kind of different skill sets.
• 50:02
  Speaker 16: The Yankees are now 89-66. They've already clinched a in
• 50:09
  Speaker 16: the American League East. Those two teams meet Tuesday in
• 50:12
  Speaker 16: the Bronx. The four-game series starts with a split doubleheader.
• 50:15
  Speaker 16: First pitch is at 105, game two at 705. The
• 50:18
  Speaker 16: Mets also lost on Sunday. Philadelphia beat New York 7-2
• 50:22
  Speaker 16: in the Mets' final home game of the season. Christopher
• 50:25
  Speaker 16: Sanchez allowed two runs over six in the third innings.
• 50:28
  Speaker 16: Justin Crawford helped break it open with a three-run triple.
• 50:31
  Speaker 16: The Mets now finish their season on the road. They
• 50:34
  Speaker 16: have six games left against Texas and Washington. And the
• 50:39
  Speaker 16: ceremony honoring retiring Mets radio voice Howie Rose was postponed
• 50:43
  Speaker 16: because of the weather. It's now going to be held
• 50:45
  Speaker 16: during the opening weekend in 2027. And the races are
• 50:52
  Speaker 16: back on over on Long Island. Racing and other events
• 50:55
  Speaker 16: are happening at Belmont Park after the track reopened this
• 50:59
  Speaker 16: past week following three years of construction. The new Belmont
• 51:03
  Speaker 16: has four racing surfaces, a large paddock, and a smaller,
• 51:07
  Speaker 16: modern grandstand. The fall meet is now underway in Elmont.
• 51:10
  Speaker 16: For WABC Sports, I'm Nino DiNino.
• 51:14
  Speaker 13: Go to PeerlessBoilers.com to find a dealer near you.
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: Peerless Boilers, the world's best built boilers.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: This is Sid and Friends in the Morning. 77 WABC.
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: Even people love me. Welcome back.
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: It's Michael Cohen and John Katsimatidis sitting in for Sid Rosenberg,
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: who's out for Yom Kippur. And to all my Jewish brethren,
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: have a Chag Sameach, a happy, a happy, have an easy,
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: easy fast. I never do, but I wish everybody else
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: have one.
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: We have your buddy on the phone, John, who actually
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: knows more about life and health than anybody I know.
• 52:01
  Speaker 19: Dr.
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: Pete, is Dr. Pete with us?
• 52:04
  Speaker 19: Yes, I'm right here, and it's great to be with
• 52:06
  Speaker 19: you guys on this very important day. the Day of Atonement,
• 52:12
  Speaker 19: and remembering all our Jewish friends out there and wishing
• 52:16
  Speaker 19: them an easy fast. And I want to remind people,
• 52:20
  Speaker 19: because it's important to remind people to have gratitude, because
• 52:24
  Speaker 19: if it wasn't for a lot of our Jewish brethren,
• 52:27
  Speaker 19: a lot of us wouldn't actually be alive now, because
• 52:31
  Speaker 19: penicillin might have been invented by Alexander Furman. He came
• 52:36
  Speaker 19: up with the idea, but the two guys who actually
• 52:38
  Speaker 19: made it where a Jewish doctor, Ernst Hein Boris, made
• 52:43
  Speaker 19: the first penicillin. And then Albert Schatz made the first streptomycin,
• 52:49
  Speaker 19: which has saved millions and millions of lives. And they
• 52:52
  Speaker 19: actually coined the word antibiotic. And we have to remember
• 52:56
  Speaker 19: the great Dr. Salkin Sabin, who were also Jewish, who
• 53:00
  Speaker 19: invented the polio vaccine. And Dr. Sidney Farber, who did
• 53:04
  Speaker 19: the first chemotherapy to save children from leukemia. And the
• 53:09
  Speaker 19: great Charlie Kelman, doctor from Brooklyn, who was having his
• 53:13
  Speaker 19: teeth cleaned with ultrasound. And he came up with the
• 53:15
  Speaker 19: idea of making a tiny probe to vacuum cataracts out,
• 53:18
  Speaker 19: which revolutionized the way so many people can see. And
• 53:22
  Speaker 19: that helps safety and driving as we age. And, of course,
• 53:27
  Speaker 19: Carl Landstein, who invented blood types. So blood transfusions weren't
• 53:31
  Speaker 19: even possible. Major surgery was not possible before that invention.
• 53:36
  Speaker 19: And one of our friends, Vicky Schnepp's cousin, Arthur Kornberg,
• 53:40
  Speaker 19: was the guy who actually first synthesized DNA and RNA.
• 53:44
  Speaker 19: Even though Watson and Crick discovered it, he was a
• 53:48
  Speaker 19: kid from Brooklyn who grew up to got the Nobel
• 53:51
  Speaker 19: Prize for that invention. And finally, I want to remember
• 53:54
  Speaker 19: that a lot of people forget on this 250th anniversary
• 53:57
  Speaker 19: of America, if it wasn't for a young Polish Jewish
• 54:00
  Speaker 19: immigrant named Heinz Solomon, who actually financed the American Revolution
• 54:05
  Speaker 19: because we had those French loans, but nobody was able
• 54:08
  Speaker 19: to convert it into local Continental Congress cash to pay
• 54:11
  Speaker 19: the troops. And at the Battle of Yorktown, the pivotal
• 54:15
  Speaker 19: battle in American history, they ran out of money and, uh,
• 54:20
  Speaker 19: George and then Haim Solomon.
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he financed. He financed the whole thing.
• 54:24
  Speaker 19: And he financed $ 20, 000.
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: But the important thing, Dr. Mihalos, the important thing is
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: how do we live longer? This doctor you texted me
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: at 3 o'clock in the morning, this Dr. Yucca Huzitz.
• 54:37
  Speaker 19: Yamanaka.
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: Yamanaka. Yucca Huzitz. I said Yucca Huzitz. Yucca who what?
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: Yucca Maka. Now, he discovered a new way for us
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: not to die sooner.
• 54:48
  Speaker 19: Yes, I will, but I just wanted to talk about
• 54:51
  Speaker 19: the foundation of how important it is and the history
• 54:53
  Speaker 19: on this important day. But yes, Dr. Yamanaka is a
• 54:56
  Speaker 19: surgeon in Japan. He got the Nobel Prize. He's on
• 55:00
  Speaker 19: the cover of Time magazine this month in September, and
• 55:03
  Speaker 19: they did a whole eight pages about this. And he
• 55:07
  Speaker 19: found that each one of our cells has a younger
• 55:09
  Speaker 19: version of itself. And basically, he discovered these factors, the O, S,
• 55:15
  Speaker 19: and K factors. When they gave it to blind mice,
• 55:20
  Speaker 19: blind apes, it restored their eyesight. And the first human
• 55:24
  Speaker 19: was injected on June 9th. And we're waiting to see
• 55:28
  Speaker 19: what happens for reversing blindness. with glaucoma and it'll be
• 55:32
  Speaker 19: used for retinal problems. And they also gave this Yamanaka factor,
• 55:37
  Speaker 19: which tells the cells to go back to a younger self,
• 55:40
  Speaker 19: to wild mice at Stanford University. And they lived 109% longer,
• 55:44
  Speaker 19: an extra 200 days, which is the equivalent of 34
• 55:45
  Speaker 19: human years. which is going to change and revolutionize medicine.
• 55:53
  Speaker 19: And Jeff Bezos raised and put in $ 3 billion, most
• 55:57
  Speaker 19: of it of his own money, and built Altos Labs,
• 56:00
  Speaker 19: a private company in California, which is also working on this.
• 56:04
  Speaker 19: And the great scientist, David Sinclair, and the fellow in
• 56:08
  Speaker 19: his lab, Wunshan Li, life bioscientist in Boston, they injected
• 56:12
  Speaker 19: the first human on June 9th. The medicine is called ER100,
• 56:15
  Speaker 19: which stands for epigenetic reprogramming. So the fact that we
• 56:20
  Speaker 19: have a younger version of our software that's just waiting
• 56:24
  Speaker 19: to be activated is a total blow away experience. Life
• 56:28
  Speaker 19: changing thing that if we hang around for another three
• 56:31
  Speaker 19: to five years, we're probably going to be able to
• 56:35
  Speaker 19: start addressing aging as a disease because it's not about lifespan.
• 56:40
  Speaker 19: It's about health span. And if we can slow down.
• 56:44
  Speaker 19: and reverse that process, we won't be getting the diseases.
• 56:48
  Speaker 19: The number one killer is, of course, heart disease. Then
• 56:51
  Speaker 19: there's cancer and Alzheimer's.
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: But to get there, you have to eat healthier. In
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: other words, you can't do stupid things and then hope
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: to live another 10%. You got to get there. And
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: you have that new book. Tell us about your new book.
• 57:09
  Speaker 19: The new book is called The Death of Aging that
• 57:11
  Speaker 19: I co-authored with Dr. Magdalena Swarczewski. And that book, The
• 57:16
  Speaker 19: Death of Aging, has entire chapters on this particular fresh
• 57:20
  Speaker 19: information about the OSK Yamanaka genes. But like you said, John,
• 57:25
  Speaker 19: what we always talk about, we talk about aging. The
• 57:27
  Speaker 19: gut microbiome and what we eat and eating farm to
• 57:30
  Speaker 19: table and the amazing things they're finding out, like why
• 57:34
  Speaker 19: in the blue zones do people live longer? And they
• 57:36
  Speaker 19: found out that extra virgin olive oil contains a compound
• 57:40
  Speaker 19: called oleic acid. And that oleic acid activates these longevity
• 57:44
  Speaker 19: genes called sirtuins. And then they said, well, how come
• 57:47
  Speaker 19: Loma Linda, California is on the list? Because they eat
• 57:50
  Speaker 19: a lot of avocados, which also contain oleic acid, which
• 57:54
  Speaker 19: activates sirtuins. And the other amazing study just in the
• 57:58
  Speaker 19: last two years, they found out that vitamin D helps
• 58:01
  Speaker 19: the end caps on our DNA are called telomeres on
• 58:06
  Speaker 19: our chromosomes. And they get shorter and shorter every year
• 58:08
  Speaker 19: that passes as we get older. So they gave them
• 58:11
  Speaker 19: vitamin D, kept their levels high over two years, and
• 58:14
  Speaker 19: then they measured the length of those telomeres. And guess what?
• 58:17
  Speaker 19: They stayed longer. So it turns out that vitamin D
• 58:20
  Speaker 19: is not only something good that we have for, you know,
• 58:24
  Speaker 19: fighting infections and viruses. It also turns out to be
• 58:27
  Speaker 19: an anti-aging medicine, just a simple vitamin D and the
• 58:33
  Speaker 19: form of vitamin D that's best is called vitamin D K3.
• 58:35
  Speaker 19: too because it also drives the calcium into the bone
• 58:40
  Speaker 19: instead of your arteries. So as we get older, our
• 58:43
  Speaker 19: bones get weaker and having bone strength is very important.
• 58:47
  Speaker 19: The other thing we talked about on this, because it's
• 58:49
  Speaker 19: the day of fasting and atonement, fasting which is in
• 58:52
  Speaker 19: all the ancient religions in Judaism and Hinduism which has
• 58:57
  Speaker 19: had it for 4,000 years, it turns out that it
• 59:00
  Speaker 19: resets the body. And when we fast, the body's starts
• 59:04
  Speaker 19: instead of focusing on digesting all the stuff you ate
• 59:07
  Speaker 19: late at night, it focuses on the immune system. system
• 59:10
  Speaker 19: because we now know that our gut is 80% of
• 59:13
  Speaker 19: our immune system. So when we fast around the 14th hour,
• 59:17
  Speaker 19: the body starts saying, oh no, things are rough and
• 59:20
  Speaker 19: let's start fixing things. things cleaning up and we go
• 59:23
  Speaker 19: to something called autophagy, which from the Greek word to
• 59:26
  Speaker 19: mean auto clean, auto eat. And we start cleaning up
• 59:30
  Speaker 19: dead and dying cells.
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: So your body has the ability, if you take care
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: of your body, your body has the ability to cure
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: a lot of things. And that's the reason for, you know,
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: doing that diet. Right, because I read something, Dr. Michalos,
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: that there are four genes that they're trying to reactivate
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: the ability to recreate these older cells into newer cells,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: but that they've only now been able to experiment on
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: three of those genes, and especially it has to do
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: with glaucoma.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 19: Yes, because what happens is that the original four genes,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 19: when they gave it, the cells got too young and
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 19: they became tumor cancer cells. And that's when a student
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 19: in Dr. Sinclair's lab, and now he's a PhD professor,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 19: he basically said, let me try an experiment and leave
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 19: the fourth gene out. Let me just put three of
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 19: them in, the O, S, and the K.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: And when they.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 19: Gave it, they reversed blindness in the mice and the apes.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 19: And again, the first humans were done. 18 human beings
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 19: were done and all the scientists around the world. And
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 19: I've been watching and waiting. And any day now, we're
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 19: going to hear the announcement of those trials. And if
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 19: they find. that the people who had glaucoma and some
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 19: other ischemic problems in the retina got better. So people
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 19: who've lost vision, even from diabetic retinopathy and scarring in
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 19: the back of their eye, they're going to be candidates
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 19: to get these injections to tell the cells to go
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 19: back to a younger stage. So that's what's happening now
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 19: as we speak. And even right here in the great
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 19: Columbia University in New York, they're even going to be
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 19: part of these trials. So we're seeing some amazing things.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 19: And if you pick up a copy of Time magazine,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 19: you'll see the articles or pick up a copy of
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 19: The Death of Aging on Amazon, and you can read
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 19: all about these amazing new advances. But as John said,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 19: the most thing, as John and I always talk about,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 19: farm to table. If it's in a bag or a
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 19: box or if it says preservatives on it, you have
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 19: to be careful. Avoid high fructose corn syrup. and sleep
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 19: hygiene is critical. Now the research found that sleeping on
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 19: your side is much healthier than on your back or
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 19: your stomach because we have an automatic washing machine cleaning
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 19: system in our brain because our brain is in fluid,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 19: and it's basically called the glymphatic system. And when you
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 19: side sleep, you more efficiently get rid of the old, dead,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 19: and dying cells, and it's healthier for your brain. So
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 19: we're learning things, as John always says, at warp speed.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 19: And keep listening to WABC to live long and prosper.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: And tell us where you can buy your book.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 19: You can go to Amazon, just put in The Death
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 19: of Aging, and it comes right up. Or to learn
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 19: more about the book, just go to the website, thedeathofaging.com.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 19: And there's a lot of amazing. And thanks to the
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 19: great listeners at WABC, we became number one on new
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 19: releases for anti-aging and medical books.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: Well, because it's that important. People have to understand. Yeah,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 3: we all want to live longer. Well, not necessarily.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 4: You know, it's a little antithetical to the Jewish proverb
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 4: of why do Jewish men die before their wives?
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: Why do they? Let's ask Dr.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 13: Michalos.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: Why do Jewish wives die before their wives? No, why
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: do Jewish men die before their wives?
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 19: Because they want to.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: Amen to that, brother.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 6: Amen.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: Baruch Hashem.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 19: He also told me that, why is divorce so expensive?
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 19: I said, I don't know, Mr.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 10: Bernstein.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 19: He said, because it's worth it.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: Amen again to that.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 4: Dr.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: Michalos, thank you so much. Appreciate you. Thank you, Peter.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 4: We're going to take a break. When we come back,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 4: we're going to have Peter King on with us.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: And he was in charge of Homeland Security for many years.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: I'd love to hear what he has to say. Because
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: he certainly knows a little more than us. Some of

  Speaker 14: Well, heading out onto the Erie Roadways, we have a
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 14: new problem on the West Side Highway now. This is
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 14: on the southbound side, just as you get down into
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 14: the 140s. There's a stall there in the right lane.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 14: You want to get over to the left. We still
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 14: have delays on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway coming up to the
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 14: LIE with that accident, which is still in the process
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 14: of being cleared up and out of the way. But
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 14: coming inbound on the expressway, the only delay we have
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 14: is as you get in through Queens Boulevard.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 11: That's about it. Bell Parkway.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 14: A little slow on the eastbound side getting through Kennedy Airport.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 14: And then inbound on the Gowanus PQE. Stop and go
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 14: from the Prospect on up to the Brooklyn Bridge. Now,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 14: mass transit-wise, New Jersey Transit trains having some issues this morning.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 14: First of all, they've canceled a couple of trains on
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 14: the Northeast Corridor. The 826 out of Trenton and the
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 14: 706 out of Jersey Avenue. And then also on the
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 14: Raritan Valley line between Highbridge and Raritan, they have no service.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 14: That's because of a disabled train. And alternate side again
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 14: today is suspended. With an Apple Bank pick-your-own-term CD, get
• 1:04:57

• 1:05:30
  Speaker 23: Good morning, I'm John Turret. Well, it was a volatile
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 23: week last week, wasn't it? On Friday, Boeing, Walmart were winners,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 23: JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft and Apple were losers at the end
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 23: of the Friday session. The markets were mixed at the
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 23: end of Friday with a Dow down and the other
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 23: two in the green, but they were all down for
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 23: the week. Hey, but Bitcoin had a fantastic day on Friday.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 23: It was back above $ 80, 000 per token, a gain of
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 23: about 5%.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: Company news.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 23: Warren Buffett is stepping down as chairman of Berkshire Hathaway.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 23: In a letter to Berkshire shareholders, Buffett writes, Father Time
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 23: always wins. His son Howard has been named as the chairman.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 23: And when I heard that, I thought that Howard was
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 23: a young boy, young man in his 20s.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: He's in his 70s.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 23: Netflix was down on Friday. The stock was downgraded because
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 23: Wall Street's saying, well, OK, team, where's your latest blockbuster?
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 23: We don't see one. The French soccer star Kylian Mbappe,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 23: remember him from playing in the Meadowlands with France in
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 23: the World Cup a couple of months ago? Well, he
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 23: ended a two decade relationship with Nike on Friday to
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 23: join the fast growing Swiss sportswear brand ON. And who
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 23: backs that? None other than five times U.S. Open tennis
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 23: champion Roger Federer. Later this week, we get the UN
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 23: General Assembly getting underway. President Trump speaks tomorrow at 9.30
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 23: in the morning. And later in the week, President Xi
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 23: of China flies in for a very important state visit.

  Speaker 4: Sadly, we're here to report that Presley Gerber, the son
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 4: of Randy Gerber and Cindy Crawford, the brother to the
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 4: actress Kai Gerber, has just passed away. Right now, nobody
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 4: knows the reasons why. other than to say our heart
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 4: goes out to the family. The father's from my hometown.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 4: I knew the grandfather very well.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: He was a friend. My heart goes out to the family.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 4: And just unnecessary, age of 27.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 3: You know, John.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 4: While we're sitting here and we're talking, I think we
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 4: have another guest that's going to be on with us.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 4: Who do we have coming on with us now? We
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 4: now have, yep, Peter King.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 19: Peter.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 6: Peter.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 3: Head of Homeland Security. There's nobody better to know. Tell
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: us to let us know exactly who in Homeland. What
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 3: the heck is going on? How did we go so
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: far south in 10 years? It's Peter's fault because he left.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: It is your fault, Peter.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 5: I'm accused of a lot of things. But John and Michael,
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 5: good to be with you. And good yontif, Michael.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much. And again, to all of our
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 3: Jewish brethren, a good yontif to them as well.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 5: Partly, actually Homeland Security itself, the department, is doing the
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 5: best he can. Uh, I, I think, and I know
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 5: it was important to stop illegal immigration, which had been
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 5: certainly dropped on Biden. I mean, the fact is the
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 5: borders are wide open and I don't know what, uh,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 5: What else was going on in Homeland Security? Certainly during
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 5: the Biden years, it did not measure up. Now, President
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 5: Trump came in. He had to extra fortify the borders,
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 5: try to reclaim them, which he's done. He sealed the borders.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 5: I just hope that in doing that, we haven't taken
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 5: personnel away from looking at the terror threats from overseas.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 5: I mean, we faced multiple threats today. One, we always had,
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 5: not always, but especially during the Biden years, we had
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 5: the onslaught against the border, the 10, 15, 20 million,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 5: whatever it was, who came in across the border. But
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 5: at the same time, ISIS and Al Qaeda are still
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 5: working feverishly to find ways to attack us. What Ray
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 5: Kelly did here in New York, what George Bush did
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 5: in Washington after 9-11 really prevented a 9-11 type attack
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 5: from happening again. But at the same time, we were
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 5: building up those fortifications. ISIS, Al Qaeda, all of the
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 5: Al Qaeda offshoots, they were planning ways to work against us.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 5: So it's an ongoing struggle in many ways. It's as
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 5: dangerous today as it was on September 10th. We can never,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 5: ever let our guard down. And I think too often
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 5: people do forget that.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm glad that you bring that up because, Peter,
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 4: here's the part again that I believe. And we started off,
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 4: John and I, at 6 a.m. We were talking about
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 4: how Trump is so frustrated. with the press and we
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 4: as the tired majority should feel the same the same
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 4: angst and the same anger towards the press for misstating
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 4: how things are unfortunately and I say it again unfortunately
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 4: there was a shooting a federal immigration agent shot and
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 4: injured a man in Austin Texas now I understand any
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 4: shooting is bad. My heart goes out to both the
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 4: officer who pulled the trigger, the agent, as well as
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 4: the person who was shot and injured. We don't have
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 4: the full extent of the story, but we're talking about
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 4: one person.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: ICE agent.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 4: You know, they forget the fact that there are thousands
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 4: and thousands of ICE agents, that there are tens of
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 4: thousands of people who have been apprehended by Department of
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 4: Homeland Security, by ICE, within which to protect our national security.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 4: They are doing their job. Now, again, I do not
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 4: turn around and say that this was a legitimate or
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 4: an illegitimate. I don't have the facts. But instead, All
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 4: that you are seeing reported on, you know, like the CNNs,
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 4: the MSNows, and so on, all that you see is
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 4: that this ICE agent shot this Venezuelan man who is
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 4: now in stable condition.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 5: The fact is that there are thousands and thousands of
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 5: operations carried out by ICE, and we're talking about a handful. Now,
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 5: having said that, as you said, every death is tragic.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 5: But also, again, I don't know what happened in Austin.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 5: That is to be determined. But I do know, for instance,
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 5: in Minneapolis, we had those shootings. The fact is that
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 5: was partly because the local police, under the directions of
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 5: the mayor and the governor, were not cooperating with ICE.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 5: We have, in Nassau County, under Bruce Blankman, he has
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 5: an agreement with ICE where we work closely with ICE.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 5: And so the police do what they can to secure
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 5: the situation. We've had no incidents at all involving ICE
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 5: in Nassau County, but there have been a number of
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 5: significant arrests, deportations carried out because the local police and
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 5: Nassau County cops under Pat Ryder and under Bruce Blakeman
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 5: are cooperating with ICE. In Minneapolis, you basically had the
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 5: local mayor, the governor, the local leaders urging the people
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 5: to revolt against ICE. When something like that happens and
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 5: there's guns involved, and again, in that one case where
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 5: the woman, the ICE agent, thought she was aiming a
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 5: car at him, she'd been resisting orders from ICE, whether
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 5: he did the right thing or not, put yourself in
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 5: that situation. And then also the other guy, when he
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 5: was wrestling on the ground, he had a gun and
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 5: a gun went off. And you can see why the
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 5: ICE agents want to react. But the fact is, whether
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 5: or not they did the right thing, they didn't go
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 5: in there with any intent to kill anybody. It was
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 5: because the situation got out of control. And the main
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 5: reason they got out of control was the local authorities
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 5: were not only not cooperating with ICE, they were encouraging
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 5: the bad guys or the demonstrators to carry on.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 4: And you know what bothers me even more is the
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 4: fact that everybody uses this terrible incident.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 3: And I'm not going to sit here and say that
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: the shooting, again, oh, this is good. And no, it's not.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 3: And you're right.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 4: Anyone, any shooting, any death, it's all bad. But you're
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 4: not supposed to use this. I don't care Republican, Democrat,
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 4: Independent as a political slogan or as some sort of
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 4: an advertisement. You know, Congressman Greg Cesar, who's a Democrat,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 4: who represents Austin, he's now demanding. He goes, of course,
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 4: straight up on television demanding an independent investigation into the
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 4: Sunday shooting. And he starts quoting over and over, ICE
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 4: has shot people and then lied about what happened.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 3: That is not true. That congressman is a lie. It
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 3: is a freaking lie in order to excite the viewer base.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 3: In order to incite more anger and hatred towards the
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 3: Department of Homeland Security, it's designed in order to go
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 3: after and to demonstrate more hate to these ICE agents who,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 3: for the most part, 99% of them, are good, honest,
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: hardworking people who are doing their job in the appropriate way. Yes,
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 3: things happen.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 4: And again, we don't know what caused this, what caused
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 4: this shooting. All I know is for Congressman Cesar to
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 4: go out there and then to start with this sort of, again, grandstanding,
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 4: it does nobody any good.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 5: It certainly doesn't. It's a rusted judgment. And by doing that,
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 5: all you're doing is encouraging more, more violent demonstrations, which
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 5: could lead to more shootings, not out of any evil intent,
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 5: just by the reality is that once these things start,
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 5: you're in there, there's guns involved, there's weapons involved. And
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 5: that's when something can get out of hand, out of control.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 5: And that's why it's so important for local, again, I
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 5: don't know what happened in Austin, but for local police,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 5: local authorities, to cooperate with ICE. If they disagree with
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 5: what they're doing, go to court, do whatever has to
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 5: be done. When you don't encourage rebellion in the streets,
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 5: that more often than not, so often, is going to
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 5: lead to violence. And it's just a bad turn of events.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 4: But think about what he's saying here. He goes, oh,
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 4: they shoot first and ask questions later. And again, he
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 4: was referring to Renee Nicole Good, and we should all
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 4: say her name, as well as Alex Preddy. I am
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 4: uncomfortable in what happened to both of them. And you
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 4: know what? You know the old expression, Peter, one bad
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 4: apple doesn't spoil the entire barrel?
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 3: And we have to remember that. So maybe this agent
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 3: was bad.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 4: Let's hold him accountable as we would hold anybody accountable
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 4: who pulls the trigger on anybody. Hold him accountable. But again,
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 4: for the most part, these ICE agents are doing their job.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 4: You may not like the fact that they're doing their job.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 4: You may not like the fact how they're doing their job.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 4: This is really a very dirty job that they're at.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 4: They are asked to go in. into communities, to go
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 4: into cities and states, especially blue ones where they are
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 4: not wanted, like here in New York City, and they
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 4: are asked and tasked with finding these individuals, apprehending them,
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 4: and then deporting them. This is a big job, but
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 4: it's a big job that has a purpose. And I
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 4: would love for you, Peter, to tell people the purpose
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 4: of why they are out there doing what they're doing.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 5: Well, ICE is there because the fact is you have
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 5: people illegally in the country. I think we should focus
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 5: really almost entirely now on those with criminal backgrounds. And unfortunately,
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 5: there's an awful lot of them. These are people that
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 5: are rapists, child molesters in these communities. The ones who
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 5: get terrorized the most are the people living in those communities.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 5: And it's ICE's job to go ahead and find them
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 5: and to go in and get them. And yet whenever
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 5: they start to do that, the local leaders start stirring
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 5: up trouble. You have demonstrations out in the street making
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 5: their job more difficult. And as we've seen in some cases,
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 5: leading action to violence. So to me, it's a tough job.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 5: And the fact that you're right, let's say one or
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 5: two or three or four ICE agents did the wrong thing.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 5: In our military, we have the greatest military in the world,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 5: but we also have the military police to keep it
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 5: high on the ones who step out of line, whether
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 5: it's the police department, whether it's lawyers, doctors, accountants, stockbrokers.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 5: There's always a few in those groups that have to
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 5: be watched. They have to be apprehended. But overall, ICE
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 5: agents do a great job. ICE is a great agency.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 5: They're literally their lives in the line in some cases.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 5: I know a number of them. I know what they
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 5: go through. I know how their families are threatened. So, no,
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 5: this is something that we have to stand with ICE
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 5: on it. And, again, if any changes can be made,
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 5: any modifications, any corrections, but in many ways it's almost
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 5: unprecedented to have this level of local opposition to federal
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 5: agents trying to do their job, trying to make the
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 5: community safer. And yet, whether it's the media, whether it
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 5: is the Democratic Party, almost no one is willing to
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 5: come out and give ICE the credit it deserves.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 3: Well, you do. I do.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 4: Certainly John Katsimatidis does. We certainly do here at 77 WABC.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 4: We're going to go to break.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 3: When we come back, we have more people joining. This
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 3: is Mike.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 4: Cohen and John Katsimatidis sitting in for Sid Rosenberg, again,
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 4: for Yom Kippur.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Peter. Enjoy the day.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 5: You too, John.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 12: Thanks.

  Speaker 2: W-A-B-C, traffic and transit.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 11: We're on the Apple Bank traffic desk, west side highway,
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 11: southbound on the 140s. There's a stalled vehicle. The right
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 11: lane is out of service.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 14: And then on the southern state now, on the eastbound
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 14: side at Nassau Road, An accident in the left lane.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 14: If you're on the BQE on the northbound side, we
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 14: had a problem right by the LIE. It looks like, though,
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 14: that has been cleared. Now, in New Jersey, we have
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 14: delays now on the westbound side of 280 coming into
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 14: the Garden State Parkway with a crash in the right lane.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 14: Jersey Turnpike southbound, the western spur at 15W. Some debris there.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 14: And then Route 34 still have that problem at County
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 14: Road 689. That accident continues. Now, mass transit, subways are
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 14: all good. Same thing with Metro North and the Long
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 14: Island Railroad. Jersey Transit, they've canceled one train, the 826
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 14: out of Trenton, which is due in the city at 940.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 14: That was canceled. And then there's also no Raritan Valley
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 14: line between Highbridge and Raritan. That, because of a stalled
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 14: train at Alderton side, is suspended. Traffic is sponsored by
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 14: Apple Bank. Now with the highest annual percentage yield this
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 14: year on a 6-12 month CD, visit your local Apple
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 14: Bank to open today. Member FDIC, $ 25, 000 minimum deposit required
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 14: to open new money only. Early withdrawal penalty may apply.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 14: I'm Joe Nolan with Traffic on Talk Radio, 77 WABC.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: This is Sid and Friends in the Morning, 77 WABC.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 3: I love those Sinatra songs. Me too. That's life. Maybe
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 3: it shows our age. But Sid is just as old
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: as us. That's life. And what is today is, what
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 3: do we have? Jay Jacobs. Oh, my God. New York.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 3: The New York State Democratic Chairman of New York State,
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 3: Jay Jacobs. Jay, what the heck is going on in
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 3: the Democratic Party? The big boss himself, John. We have
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 3: another big boss here. Who's that? Jay Jacobs. Another Jay Jacobs.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 3: There you go. Jay, what's going on in the Democratic Party?
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 10: Well, I'll tell you, the Democratic Party is doing just fine.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 10: I think there's a lot of... chatter in the news about,
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 10: you know, are we turning too far to the left?
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 10: Are we going with the socialists? And that's nonsense because
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 10: the overwhelming majority of Democrats in the state of New York,
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 10: as shown in Tom DiNapoli's recent primary, he beat far
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 10: leftists by more than two to one. Overwhelming majority are moderates.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 10: They're centrists. They're progressive, but they're common sense Democrats, and
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 10: that's what we've got. That's what's in the leadership of
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 10: this party. That's where the governor is. And I think
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 10: that a lot of the other talk is just that.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 4: So I understand that Kathy Hochul is backing you to
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 4: remain as the Democratic Party boss, right? That this is
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 4: the first time that you're actually being challenged for your seat? by,
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 4: what's her name, Caitlin Ogden?
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that's correct. Yeah, look, the governor and I, you know,
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 10: not only work well together, we're also personal friends. I
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 10: enjoy her company, and I think she's an excellent governor,
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 10: you know. She takes hits from time to time from
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 10: the Republicans on things that just aren't so, frankly, and
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 10: the job that she's done is a solid one, and
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 10: I'm looking forward to working with her. in the next term.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 3: So look, I'm a Democrat.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 4: I've been a Democrat my entire life, 1987 when I
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 4: was in college. I was a junior as well as
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 4: in the senior, 88. I worked for Congressman Joe Moakley
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 4: of Massachusetts. I've been a Democrat basically my entire life. Obviously,
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 4: I know who you are. I have supported you in
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 4: the past. I no longer identify as a Democrat. Many
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 4: of my New York City friends who also have been Democrats,
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 4: I see myself as a fiscal conservative and a social moderate.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 4: I'm basically centrist, maybe left of center. I used to
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 4: argue with Trump about it almost on a daily basis.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 4: I would say I'm left of center. He would tell
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 4: me that I'm right of center. I think we're all
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 4: the same. I cannot stand beside a, whether it's Kathy
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 4: Hochul or any Democrat, that will hold up the hand
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 4: of somebody like Mayor Mamdani.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 3: Because like you, I agree.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 4: I will not stand beside somebody like a Hassan Piker
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 4: or a Graham Platner. I just can't do it. And
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 4: so I will identify. I haven't decided to switch party
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 4: affiliation to independent yet because, again, I've been a Democrat
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 4: my whole life. But I cannot stand beside a group
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 4: of people who fundamentally want to change the way that
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 4: the United States has been for the last 250 years successfully,
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 4: as well as the anti-Semitism that we're experiencing at a
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 4: greater level than ever before.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 10: Well, let me respond to that if I could, because
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 10: I hear that from time to time, and I respect
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 10: what you're saying, and I understand completely where you're coming from.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 10: But where I would make the distinction, and I would
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 10: argue this, look, there are people in our party that
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 10: have views that are different than mine, different than yours,
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 10: different than many others, and that's fine. The same thing
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 10: goes on in the Republican Party. You know, I'm sure
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 10: you don't want to stand with some of the young
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 10: Republicans that wrote those pro-Hitler emails or texts back and
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 10: forth to each other. You've got in both parties extremists
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 10: and people whose views we certainly disagree with. But that
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 10: doesn't mean you write off the whole party. You know,
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 10: you say you're a fiscal conservative. And I don't know
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 10: that I would call myself a fiscal conservative, but I
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 10: certainly am mindful of economic realities here. If you take
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 10: a look at our $ 40 trillion, that's $ 40 trillion national debt, overwhelmingly,
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 10: most of that was rung up by Republican presidents, not Democrats.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 10: Look what Donald Trump has added to it. Now he's
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 10: talking about bribing voters with $ 5, 000 if you elect a
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 10: Republican Congress. That's going to be another couple of trillion
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 10: dollars that he's hoping to do. He can't do it,
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 10: by the way. It's against the law. But neither here
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 10: nor there, when you talk about being fiscally conservative or sound,
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 10: as I like to consider myself, the Republicans certainly haven't
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 10: proven that. that they've earned your vote. But when you
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 10: look at the anti-Semitism and the rest, which is awful,
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 10: and I've spoken out against it. You know my position here. Yes,
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 10: I do. And I'm rather firm on it. What I
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 10: want you to just recognize is this. I think this
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 10: has been my view, and I say this to Democrats,
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 10: and I say this to Democrats on the far left
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 10: as well. We have to begin lowering the temperature. We
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 10: have to begin lowering taking the hate, the vitriol, and
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 10: everything else out of politics across the board. That's within
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 10: the Democratic Party. That's Democrats versus Republicans. It's just got
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 10: to stop. This country is headed down the wrong path,
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 10: and part of it is the lack of civility and
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 10: the ability to sit down, have a conversation, try to
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 10: understand what the other person or party is thinking about,
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 10: and come to some common ground and find common ground.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 10: That's the only way that this country is going to
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 10: move forward. We're in a very, very difficult time right now.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 10: And my job as the Democratic chairman is to elect Democrats.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 10: And I have to tell you, it's a challenge at times,
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 10: because just like you voiced, and again, I respect what
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 10: you're saying, because I hear it out here in the suburbs.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 10: Folks in the suburbs believe, and I disagree with them,
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 10: but they do believe that the Democrats are less supportive
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 10: of Israel than uh... a little less but that may
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 10: be uh... uh... more accepting of anti-semitism uh... and um...
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 10: and uh... favoring socialism or will or will it lead
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 10: to it and it's just not true it's just not
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 10: true i'm not bending and and the bulk of the
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 10: elite of the democratic party and all of our leadership
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 10: all of our leadership stands for you take a look
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 10: at the two parties you've got extremists in charge of
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 10: the Republican Party, and they're running the Congress. Mike Johnson,
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 10: if you listen to what he says, if you have
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 10: read some of the things that he has proposed or favors,
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 10: he's an extremist. He just is. But him and his
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 10: entire group of chairs, committee chairs, they're all from the
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 10: extreme wing of the Republican Party, for the most part.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 10: But you take a look at the Democrats. Now, we
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 10: have folks that you would describe as extreme in our party.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 10: None of them are in leadership.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 3: Well, that's not true. You have Bernie Sanders. You have AOC.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 10: He's not in leadership. They're not in leadership.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 3: Me and Jay are friends. Me and Jay are friends
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 3: for a long time. And I was a Democrat. And
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 3: the problem you have, there's a fear going around. There's
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 3: a fear going around. that the Socialists are going to
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 3: take over the Democratic Party. Can you stop it?
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 10: Yes, absolutely. They're not. They're not going to take over
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 10: the Democratic Party. Look, you're going to see on October
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 10: the 1st, And by the way, Caitlin Ogden, to my knowledge,
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 10: is not a socialist. She's from the left of the party,
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 10: and I respect her right to run a race against me.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 10: I mean, that's the democratic process, and we have to
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 10: go with that. That's the way it's done. That's fine.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 10: But I will tell you this. There is so much
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 10: discussion among the large majority. If you will, I'll use
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 10: Richard Nixon's terms, the silent majority. And I wish they
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 10: weren't as silent as they are.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 3: I call us the tired majority.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 20: Well, maybe they are.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 10: That too, frankly. But I just want people to speak
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 10: up more. And I am telling you the conversations are happening.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 10: And there is not a chance that socialists are going
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 10: to take over the Democratic Party. nor are they going
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 10: to be pushing the Democratic Party further than we believe
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 10: the voters want us to go when it comes to
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 10: progressive legislation. So we're really very mindful about that. I'm
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 10: working hard on that. I'm having conversations about that. And
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 10: I feel confident that we're going to come out all
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 10: right at the other end. These kinds of things, and
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 10: you've seen them historically, these movements from The more extreme
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 10: sides of either party. You remember the Tea Party with
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 10: the Republicans. These things happen in tough economic times. And
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 10: that's what we've got right now. And the tougher the
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 10: economic times, the more attractive some of these arguments that
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 10: the socialists make will become. My argument to the Democratic Party,
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 10: and where I think we've dropped the ball and we're failing,
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 10: is that in the moderate wing, the moderate progressive wing,
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 10: I don't hear... a cogent set of proposals, bold proposals,
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 10: that will inspire voters to want to support moderate Democrats.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 10: That's what we need to be doing. I remember back,
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 10: I believe it was 1994, Newt Gingrich stood on the
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 10: steps of the Capitol with the entire Republican caucus, and
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 10: he had the Contract for America, and it was ten points.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 10: And at least it was something that they were running on.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 10: They did well in that year, you'll remember. That was
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 10: Bill Clinton's first midterm.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 3: Bill Clinton did very well with Newt Gingrich. They brought
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 3: down the deficit from $ 5. 5 trillion down to $ 5 trillion.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 3: And now, since then, it's gone to $ 40 trillion.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 10: Well, that's right, but look at which party has been
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 10: the biggest contributor of that. You just take a look.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 4: Well, which party had to clean up the mess from
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 4: the other party depends upon how you look at it.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 4: You know, Jay, you said something which just sort of
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 4: like rings to me, again, as a Democrat who now
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 4: identifies more as an independent. You know the old expression,
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 4: a thousand Frenchmen can't be wrong? There's a reason why
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 4: moderate Democrats like myself believe that The Democratic Party is
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 4: now permitting and allowing this anti-Semitism, this anti-Israel rhetoric to
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 4: take place.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 3: Because it is.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 4: That's the whole problem. And, you know, like with Ken Martin,
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 4: who took over as the chair of our party. If
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 4: I get one more email asking me for money, I'm
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 4: going to absolutely switch to the independent party because all
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 4: they do is ask me and they're not even putting
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 4: out a proper message on behalf. What could have and
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 4: possibly would have been a blue tsunami in the midterm
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 4: elections is now almost dead even if not even in
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 4: and of itself.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 10: Well, let me answer that. First of all, a thousand
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 10: Frenchmen can be wrong if they're reading.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 3: Maybe 70 million Frenchmen can be wrong.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 10: Because my point is this. The Democratic Party is not
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 10: soft on anti-Semitism. And while there are Democrats who will
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 10: have what I think are legitimate criticisms of the Netanyahu
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 10: government and some of the actions that they're taking... And
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 10: by the way, half of Israel has criticism of Netanyahu.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 10: That doesn't make them anti-Israel. They're anti-the government. I have
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 10: criticisms of Donald Trump and his government. That doesn't make
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 10: me anti-American. It just means I disagree with this president's policies.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 10: So what I'm just saying is when you read on
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 10: social media, when you're pushed out, algorithms are pushing the
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 10: same storyline that you seem to be interested in. And
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 10: then I will say that the more professional media outlets
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 10: also cover these things and magnify them. You're going to
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 10: get that view. But I have to tell you, let's
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 10: not forget You see this on the other side as
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 10: well in the extreme, and we should not focus and
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 10: say that the extremes of either party define the entire party.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 10: That goes for the Republicans and the Democrats. And so
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 10: what I'm just saying to you is that don't give
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 10: up the ship just yet. You know, I'm doing my
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 10: job on my end. You've got Kathy Hochul, who is
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 10: a moderate, and she's proven herself to be a moderate
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 10: as governor. Yes, you know, she works with the mayor
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 10: of the city of New York. You have to work.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 3: Well, she's not.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 4: Just working with Mayor Mondani. She's actually supporting him. And that,
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 4: to me, is a bit of a problem as well.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 10: When you say supporting, it's policies. There are policies that
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 10: she has backed, and there are policies that she has
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 10: not backed. There was not this widespread tax the rich
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 10: bill that Mamdani wanted in New York City. New York
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 10: City has not, as the campaign, if you go back
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 10: to last year's campaign, if Mamdani got elected, they argued,
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 10: the city of New York was going to go right
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 10: into the garbage. Well, that hasn't happened. That hasn't happened
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 10: at all. And so the job of the governor of
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 10: the state of New York is to work with the
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 10: mayors of the cities that are in the state of
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 10: New York, and the largest of which, of course, the
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 10: most important, what I would argue, would be New York City.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 10: And so you don't have the luxury of standing and
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 10: making political statements and making people feel happy about your
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 10: positions to the detriment of the citizens of the city
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 10: of New York because the city's got to function. Crime
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 10: has come down in the city. The subways are safer.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 10: Are they perfect? No, but they're a lot safer. The
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 10: garbage is being picked up. The snow was removed properly
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 10: when we had the snow earlier in the year when
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 10: he first took over. And the school systems are operating
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 10: and all the rest is going on. Now, are there
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 10: things that, again, we disagree with? Sure. But, you know,
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 10: that's been the same with just about every mayor. But
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 10: you've got to give, cut the governor a little slack here.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 10: She's got a job to do. And, you know, it's
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 10: not all about politics. It's not all about, you know, perception.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 10: It's about actually functioning. And the city has been functioning well.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 10: And that's in great measure, thanks to Governor Hochul.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 4: Well, let's just, we're going to leave it there because
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 4: maybe you and I disagree on that as well.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 3: Jay Jacobs.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 4: Democratic Party boss, thank you so much for joining us.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 3: Appreciate it.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 4: And I hope that you come back because, like I said,
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 4: my hope was supposed to be, you know, to see
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 4: a divided government. I'm not so sure that that's what's
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 4: going to end up happening. But thank you so much
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 4: for joining us.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 6: Well, thanks for having me.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 10: I'll be happy to come back. I enjoyed it very much.
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 3: Appreciate it, sir. Thank you, Jake.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 4: Well, now we're going to go to a quick break,
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 4: but when we come back, we have more. We have
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 4: more people to join us, like John McLaughlin. We're going
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 4: to be talking about Texas and a whole slew. So
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 4: stay tuned. We are on.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 3: It's me, Michael Cohen, and John Katsimatidis for Sid Rosenberg.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 2: W.A.B.C. Traffic in Transit.
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 14: Well, we get two problems now on the southern state
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 14: as you begin to travel eastbound from the Apple Bank
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 14: traffic desk. First of all, at Hempstead Avenue, there is
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 14: an accident. The two left lanes are out there. And
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 14: you've got delays back almost all the way to the
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 14: cross island. And you're also looking at delays then further
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 14: east at Nassau Road. Another accident, that one also in
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 14: the left lane. We still have delays as you travel
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 14: northbound on the BQE coming up to the L.I.E., with
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 14: an earlier accident, earlier problems up in the Bronx, pretty
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 14: much on the cross Bronx out of the way, but
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 14: still some slow traffic coming inbound at George. Let's call
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 14: it about a 15-minute delay, about the same at the
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 14: Lincoln Tunnel, and a really good day at the Holland,
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 14: better than it normally would be, but still delays coming
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 14: off of 109.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 11: It's certainly worse than coming off of the Turnpike Extension.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 14: Now, if you're on Route 34, County Road, 689, that
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 14: would be, again, down in the Freehold area, actually in
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 14: Old Bridge, there's an accident there.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 11: That's in the process.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 3: Of being cleared.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 14: Now we have subway delays on the 2, the 4,
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 14: the 5, the 6, the A, the B, and the D.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 14: No Raritan Valley Line service on Jersey Transit between Highbridge
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 14: and Raritan and the 826 train out of Trenton doing.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 11: New York at 940. That was canceled and alternate side
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 11: is suspended.
• 1:37:40

  Speaker 3: Well, with us today, well, it's not free. I mean,
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 3: the markets are up, I guess, almost 500 points this morning.
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 3: The price of oil is down $ 8 or $ 9 a barrel.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 3: What the heck is going on? And we're the country's
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 3: second best economist next to Larry Kudlow. What the heck
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 3: is going on, Steve Moore? Somebody take that knife out
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 3: of Steve Moore's back. No, Steve Moore was... Remember, it's
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 3: good to be number one, but don't step on number two. Right, Steve?
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, you know.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 20: Larry's my best friend, and he is the best economist
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 20: in the world.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 3: We all work together.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 20: But let me just say this, that thank you, John,
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 20: for playing the more money hotline song, the more money show,
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 20: of course, on WBC on Saturdays, and that is the
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 20: money song. So look, you're right. I was so cheered
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 20: this morning when I woke up and I saw oil
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 20: price fell below $ 100 a barrel. That's good news for
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 20: the economy. It's one of the reasons, you're right, that
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 20: I just checked, yeah, the Dow's up about 500 points.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 20: So if we can just get that oil price down below,
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 20: you know, 80, I mean, we're going to see the
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 20: biggest boom you ever saw. The only thing that's holding
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 20: back this economy is those high oil prices. We've got
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 20: a construction boom going on. We've got a manufacturing boom
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 20: that's going on.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 3: Well, everybody knows. See, everybody was upset. You told me
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 3: about the Greenspan, I guess the theory. You don't raise
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 3: interest rates based on a temporary price increase. Because it
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 3: just hurts the overall economy and it helps the people
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 3: that want to make Trump look bad.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 20: Well, listen, if I had been on the Federal Reserve
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 20: Board and, you know, Trump had nominated me to do that,
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 20: I didn't get through the process, but I would have
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 20: reluctantly voted with Kevin Walsh for that quarter point increase.
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 20: I mean, we have to bring the inflation rate down.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 20: And you're right, it is hopefully just a temporary shock
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 20: in the oil markets that's causing this inflation. But nonetheless,
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 20: for whatever reason, if you've got inflation running ahead of
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 20: the 2% target, and by the way, I'd like to
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 20: see the target reduce to 1%, then we've got a problem.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 20: And so this should hopefully tame the inflation rate a
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 20: little bit, bring it back down before Election Day, and
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 20: then once that happens, we can start... By the way,
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 20: if this brings inflation down, then the 10-year Treasury and
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 20: the 30-year mortgage will come down in terms of the
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 20: interest rates because what drives the 30-year mortgage is what
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 20: people think will have inflation over the next 30 years.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 20: I mean, John, let me ask you a very simple
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 20: economics question. If you think inflation is going to be
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 20: 5% over the next 10 years, are you going to
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 20: lend me money at 3%?
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 3: Absolutely not. But let me tell you something. 3% on
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 3: the front side and 20% on the back side. What
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 3: Trump wants to see is going back down to you
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 3: could buy a home. I have a mortgage in one
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 3: of the houses I bought. I was laughing when I
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 3: saw it. It ends in 2053, a 30-year mortgage, and
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 3: it was like 2.75.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 3: I wonder if it's transferable. People can't afford to buy
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 3: houses right now. You can actually make money on that house.
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 20: Yeah, but there's one solution to that that Larry and
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 20: I have been talking about is cut the capital gains tax,
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 20: let people sell their homes, you know, because right now,
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 20: like my wife and I, we're empty nesters now. We've
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 20: got a five-bedroom house. We'd like to sell our house,
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 20: maybe move into a smaller house and free up that house.
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 3: If that house is in Chicago, you've got two chances,
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 3: slim or none.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 20: Yeah, that's true. So we got to see that. But
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 20: but look, how about the fact what you're leaving out, guys,
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 20: is that the the I mean, I'm sorry, the Census
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 20: Bureau just reported last week that the do you guys
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 20: know what the median family income in the United States
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 20: is today?
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 3: Tell us.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 20: $ 87, 500. Now, John Katsimatidis, in most countries, that's considered rich.
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 20: I mean, this is why everybody wants to come to America.
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 20: We are the land of opportunity. We're going to get
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 20: through this. I think we're going to see a boom
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 20: starting in early 2027. Except, Stephen, there's one problem.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 3: Stephen, there's one problem. What's the average age now of
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 3: a new home buyer?
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 20: Well, that's a big problem. Yeah, it's almost 40.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 3: It used to be 29. It used to be 30.
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 20: Yeah, my wife and I bought our first house at
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 20: age 31 for $ 130, 000. Try to find a house for $ 130, 000
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 20: these days.
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 3: Now, Steve Moore, one more important thing is at what
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 3: point is there a reality check on this $ 40 trillion
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 3: in debt? The only reason we went into $ 40 trillion
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 3: in debt is we had so many dumb politicians who
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 3: That the other countries took advantage of us. I want
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 3: the world to know, I want the American people to know,
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 3: the only reason the debt is 40 trillion dollars is
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 3: because we gave all those other countries breaks. Breaks. And
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 3: it went from 5 trillion dollars under Bill Clinton and
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 3: Newt Gingrich to 40 trillion dollars.
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 20: It's a bipartisan spending spree that's happened in Washington. Republicans
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 20: and Democrats love to spend money. They're co-conspirators. The best
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 20: way to get out of this crisis is to keep
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 20: growing the economy. And we have to make sure, John,
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 20: that the economy grows faster than the debt. And in
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 20: recent years, that has not been the case, especially under Biden.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 20: Let's remember what was one of the real matches that
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 20: lit this bonfire in the last few years. Remember COVID?
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 20: We shut down our economy, which was the dumbest thing ever.
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 20: And then we massively increased under Biden spending. by $ 2
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 20: trillion and we never drain that spending out of the
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 20: system after COVID was over. That's why we're spending, we
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 20: should be cutting one or $ 2 trillion out of our budget.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 3: Let me ask you one last question.
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 3: You ready? The $ 19 trillion in new factories that are
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 3: going to be built, new industries that are going to
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 3: be built over what period of time does that 19
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 3: trillion come in? Does, is it 5 trillion a year,
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 3: 2 trillion a year? Do you tell me?
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 20: Well, you have to ask– you've got to have Donald
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 20: Trump on your show and ask him that because he's
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 20: the one who's following these trends. He's the one that's
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 20: getting these deals. But we are a magnet for capital
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 20: from around the world.
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 5: You're right, John.
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 20: Trillions of dollars coming to America, being invested here. And
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 20: that is a huge spark plug for their economy. And
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 20: it's because of the big, beautiful bill and the deregulation.
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 20: And don't forget, we're producing more oil and gas today
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 20: in the United States. You know this, John, than any
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 20: other country in the world.
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 3: Absolutely correct. Absolutely.
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 4: Well, Steve Moore, thank you so much for joining. By
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 4: the way, to answer that quick question, I spoke with
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 4: Howard Lutnick just two days ago, and I asked him
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 4: that question. He said, as people are coming to the
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 4: government to say, hey, we need to open up this
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 4: industry again, whether it's automobile manufacturing, pharmaceutical, or.
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 3: Just smelting, that money is readily available.
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 3: Well, Steve Moore, thank you so much, and we'll talk
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 3: to you again real soon.
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 20: Okay. More money on Saturday.
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 3: More money on every Saturday right after Cutload. Cutload's number
• 1:46:11

• 1:46:14
  Speaker 3: to 3.
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: Penn Station and 77.
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 20: W-A-B-C.
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: Both are real New York.
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 2: W-A-B-C. Traffic in transit.
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 14: We've got a new problem in New Jersey from the
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 14: Apple Bank traffic desk as you travel southbound on Route 9,
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 14: approaching Route 35 there in South Amboy. There's an accident.
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 14: The right lane is going to be out of service
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 14: as you get through there. We still have that full
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 14: closure on Route 34 right around the area of County
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 14: Road 689. That accident continues. Now, we still have these
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 14: problems on the Southern State. An accident in Hempstead Avenue
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 14: has a big delay behind it. And then also on
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 14: the Southern State at Nassau Road, another accident again. The
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 14: left lane going to be out of service. Now, coming
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 14: inbound on the expressway, we're in good shape. All the
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 14: way into Queens Boulevard, really not much for you to
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 14: worry about at all. Just a little bit of slow traffic.
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 14: Inbound on the Gowanus BQE through the trench getting up
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 14: to the Brooklyn Bridge. And mass transit-wise, again, that one
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 14: New Jersey transit train, the 826 out of Trenton, was canceled.
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 14: Still no service on the Raritan Valley line between Highbridge
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 14: and Raritan. And subway delays on the 2, the 4,

• 1:47:59
  Speaker 3: I was ready to do the Watusi. I love Palisades Park.
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 3: I was ready to do the Watusi there, John. Cousin Brucie, yeah,
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 3: that's where I met Cousin Brucie 100 years ago. Well, John,
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 3: we have Dr.
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 4: Eric Patterson on, who's the CEO of the Victims of
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 4: Communism Foundation.
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 3: And he hates communism, and he's helping people, and he's
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 3: a West Pointer. Yep, West Pointer. And by the way, his.
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 4: CV is beyond incredible. White House fellow, U.S. Department of State,
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 4: 20 years as an Air National Guard commander.
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, I feel so insignificant. Doctor, how are you?
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 24: Hey, it's great to be here. Thank you so much.
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 3: And you authored over 20 books, too?
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 24: Wrote some, edited others, and thanks for having me. And
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 24: just to be clear, I was air guard. We have
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 24: a family member, one of our kids is at West Point,
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 24: so we're very, very proud of that and very, very
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 24: proud of our U.S.
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 6: Military.
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 3: Well, by the way, on behalf of all the Jews
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 3: for Yom Kippur, we say mazel to you.
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 10: That's right.
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 24: Thank you very, very much.
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 3: Give us an update. What the heck is going on
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 3: in this world?
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 24: Well, I'll tell you, it is crazy hearing the U.S.
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 24: polls tell us First, that 62% or more of America's
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 24: young adults and young people support socialism or communism for
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 24: our country. But the polls also say that most people
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 24: really don't know what the Democratic Socialists of America and
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 24: people who support them, like Hassan Piker and others, they
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 24: don't know what they believe. They don't know what they
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 24: stand for. And that's part of the problem.
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 3: I don't get it. Anthony, jump in here. I mean,
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 3: you know... If there's anybody that understands communism, it's you.
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 25: Well, I can't stand it, so I can't imagine somebody
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 25: that's dedicated their life to the service of this country
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 25: having to.
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 9: Look and see what the hell is going on.
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 25: I honestly think, and I hate sounding like the old
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 25: guy shaking his fist, but the young people in this
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 25: country aren't educated. They don't have a good line on
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 25: what communism is. They hear these candidates. They're on their
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 25: TikTok videos. They smile like my daddy. Oh, he makes
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 25: TikTok videos just like we do. Meanwhile, they have no
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 25: idea what socialism slash communism is. And it's about power.
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 25: It's about taking away freedoms. It's about putting everyone at
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 25: a level of the lowest common denominator while they sit
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 25: on top of the heap.
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 9: Reaping the rewards. It's about control.
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 25: And I honestly think the younger people in this country
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 25: that are voting really need to become educated on what
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 25: it really is. You made a very good point. You know, Anthony,
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 25: I'm glad you bring that up. And doctor, I would
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 25: love for your comment on this one.
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 4: According to a bunch of polls that are out there,
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 4: and I'm talking about a poll that was just done
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 4: about a week or so ago. Nearly 30%, 29% of
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 4: our country reported not being concerned about the growth of
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 4: socialism or communism in U.S.
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 3: Politics. Can you tell me and tell our audience.
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 4: Who are these stupid people? Literally 30% of our country,
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 4: they're not concerned?
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 24: Well, I think that part of it is just what
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 24: you said. There's a total misperception about what we're talking about.
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 24: So let's be really clear about what they're promising. This
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 24: is from their platform. In 2024, they promised universal voting.
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 24: That means tourists from China could vote in our elections.
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 24: Illegal immigrants could vote in our elections. We don't want that.
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 24: They promised to abolish the Electoral College. They promised to
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 24: abolish the Senate. They promised to dramatically, dramatically raise taxes.
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 24: And they use a language that is one of violence
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 24: and revolution. You know, this guy from Michigan, this candidate,
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 24: famously said, and didn't back down from it, when.
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 6: They go low, we don't go high.
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 24: We take them to the mud and choke them out.
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 24: They label the people who are private properties owners as
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 24: as bosses. We've seen the justification from that one-third, an
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 24: overlapping justification for political violence and even assassination, like you
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 24: saw in New York with the healthcare executive. And so
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 24: this is a mix of calls for overthrow of the
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 24: basic fundamentals of American life, That's what makes it dangerous.
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 4: They have no idea how stupid they are to want
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 4: to see communism slash socialism. It's really not even socialism.
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 4: It's communism. Let's just call it for what it is.
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 4: My wife's grandfather, she never had a chance to meet
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 4: him because when my mother-in-law was, I don't know, under
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 4: the age of eight, her father, who was a communist,
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 4: he was a professor at university in Ukraine, which is
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 4: where my wife was born. Under Stalin, he was picked
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 4: up because allegedly under that system, if you said something
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 4: that they decided was improper towards the Communist Party, they
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 4: grabbed you, they took him, they brought him to Siberia,
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 4: to a gulag, and they killed him. And that's what
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 4: communism is all about. And yet a third, almost a third,
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 4: 30% of our country.
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 4: Are so stupid that they can't acknowledge that the United States,
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 4: the greatest country in the history of the world, in the.
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 3: World, wants a change to communism, something that has failed everywhere?
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 24: And that's what they need to look at. They need
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 24: to look at all of these failures. None of these
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 24: folks are willing to immigrate to North Korea. None of
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 24: them want to immigrate to communist Cuba. None want to
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 24: immigrate to Eritrea. And so we have lots of resources
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 24: about that in our museum, vocmuseum.org, on our website, victimsofcommunism.org.
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 24: But the simple fact is they need to look and
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 24: look at the most recent cases of countries that elected
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 24: hard left socialists and ruined their economies. Argentina. 20 years
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 24: of a disastrous economy that ruined the country. Venezuela, 20
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 24: years of ruin, and it's 25 years of ruin. This
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 24: is the path of socialism. It is one of misery,
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 24: it is one of poverty, and it is one of
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 24: brutal force directed at the populace.
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 3: You know, we grew up with it.
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 25: As a kid, growing up in under the fear of
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 25: communism and i'm sure there was a little bit of
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 25: propaganda thrown in there as far as we were concerned
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 25: here in the united states date there was not one
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 25: instance where it turned out that we found out communism
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 25: was better, the Soviet Union was better, any of these
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 25: communist countries. And we grew up with that, so we
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 25: knew it. Watching young people embrace this, thinking, well, we
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 25: can do it right this time, we can do it better,
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 25: is such a naive way to look at it.
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 9: It's been proven. It doesn't work.
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 25: It is completely against human nature, the want and need
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 25: to excel, to do things, to innovate, To make your
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 25: community and your country better. It's the antithesis of that.
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 25: And they don't seem to understand it. And they are
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 25: embracing it because they don't know what the hell they're
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 25: talking about when they talk about socialism or communism.
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 3: All right. This is John Katsimatidis. I understand Ty McCoy
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 3: is on with us right now. And he can come
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 3: right on with us. And you guys stay on. And
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 3: Ty McCoy was there. former Assistant Secretary of the Air Force,
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 3: and we were talking about Space Force before, and when
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 3: he was former Assistant Secretary of the Air Force, he
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 3: started Space Force. Well, Tom McCoy, give us an update
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 3: on Space Force. Do we have photon torpedoes? Do we
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 3: have phasers up there?
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 15: John, good morning. It's great to be with you and
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 15: your team there this morning, and great to hear what
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 15: Eric was saying, which underpins everything we're doing, which is
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 15: maintaining a free democracy that's decentralized, not controlled from the top,
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 15: so that we have the freedom to create an economy
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 15: that will support a major military force, which we have
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 15: to have, including the Space Force. which many people envisioned
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 15: many years ago as just a series of movies, whether
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 15: it was Star Trek or The Twilight Zone or the
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 15: movies that came out on Star Wars. But in fact,
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 15: now in reality, we have that. And as the chairman
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 15: of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said the other day,
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 15: we're going to have to be prepared to not only
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 15: fight in space around the Earth, but between the Earth
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 15: and the moon, the cislunar area, they call it, and
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 15: also potentially fight on the moon and around the moon
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 15: and beyond the moon. The Space Force is looking far out,
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 15: as we did, and we established the U.S. Air Force
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 15: Space Command in 1982. What were the objections of a
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 15: lot of the Air Force generals who wanted to keep
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 15: the money for fighters, bombers, and a lot of very
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 15: important things? We had to look forward and get ready
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 15: for the day that has come now where after the
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 15: explorers go to an area, whether it's a frontier or
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 15: it's the high frontier of space, they're followed by business people, satellites, Starlink,
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 15: other people that are going to see opportunity. And then
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 15: eventually the military, the forces of law and order, have
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 15: to follow those explorers and business interests and establish a
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 15: regime to preserve order and protect, in our case, our
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 15: national security, because space is such a high component of
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 15: overall military capability on the Earth that we have to
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 15: be prepared to fight from space to Earth and fight
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 15: in space.
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 3: And Ty, that's because that dome going off over North America,
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 3: that's going to exclude Canada, so we better make peace
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 3: with them. Tell us about that dome, what you know
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 3: about it.
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 15: Well, Golden Dome is, you know, reminiscent of what we were.
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 15: Trying to do, we formed myself and General Dan Graham,
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 15: who was former director of DIA, West Point Class of 45,
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 15: put together something in 1979 called High Frontier. It was
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 15: a think tank and a lobbying kind of organization, and
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 15: we eventually were able to get notice from the president,
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 15: and he declared that he was going to establish the
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 15: Space Defense Initiative in 1983, President Reagan. And for a
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 15: long time, a lot of money was spent. There was
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 15: going to be activities in space like Golden Dome. And
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 15: then eventually the Star Wars effort, Strategic Defense Initiative, boiled
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 15: down to having some interceptors in the ground on Earth,
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 15: which we have today to shoot down incoming ballistic missiles,
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 15: but not very many. And the effectiveness is questionable. So
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 15: President Trump has picked up on the Reagan vision of defense.
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 15: defense of assets in space and defensive assets on the
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 15: Earth from space. And using a variety of technologies, of course,
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 15: you have to have command and control, you have to
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 15: have sensors to pick up and have warning and tracking
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 15: of incoming enemy activity, and then you have to have
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 15: the capability to block it or shoot them down. And
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 15: so that whole gigantic effort to build which is now
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 15: headed as a separate huge acquisition effort by a four-star,
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 15: so it's like a super program manager, to try and
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 15: pull all this together at the cost of $ 150- $ 200
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 15: billion is underway. And it will have effectiveness.
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 5: It probably won't.
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 15: Will, no defense is ever perfect, but at least it's
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 15: an attempt to send a message that we're going to
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 15: try and defend ourselves.
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 4: So, Ty, question for you, because for the first time,
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 4: you know, a lot of people when they heard that
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 4: Trump was going to create this Space Force, they made
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 4: a lot of fun of him, you know, saying he
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 4: thinks he's Captain James T. Kirk, or he thinks he's
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 4: Captain Pike, to those of you who are Trekkies, that
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 4: was the captain previously before Kirk. Just days ago, the
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 4: military confirmed for the first time that it actually has
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 4: deployed these space control weapons. Now, It breaks down, and
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 4: you of course know this, and I want the listeners
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 4: to understand it, there are multiple different forms of this
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 4: space warfare. You have ground to space, you have space
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 4: to space, and then you have space to ground. Can
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 4: you sort of delineate between the three? Which one right
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 4: now is the most effective, or is it all three
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 4: that we need? Because we are in a war right now,
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 4: whether people understand it or not, with Russia and China,
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 4: who are threatening, our country every single day.
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 5: Well, you're right.
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 15: And I think there's efforts to build capability for all
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 15: three as you delineate very well. And we have to
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 15: have capability in all those areas. Particularly, I think right now,
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 15: we've had space to ground capability and not so much
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 15: kinetic capability. but warning and oversight, of course, our imaging
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 15: satellites and things like that for a long time. And
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 15: I think that we've also put together some capability, if needed,
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 15: for ground-to-space where we can shoot things up into space
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 15: and knock down a satellite, but we don't want to
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 15: knock down satellites and then proliferate space debris and completely
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 15: mess up the orbital environment. Right now, I think the
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 15: main new thing that's been announced by the Secretary of
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 15: the Air Force is that the capability for space-to-space, space warfare,
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 15: blocking satellites, making satellites disappear in one way or another,
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 15: is what is being developed and has been deployed so
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 15: that we have sent an effective warning, don't start knocking
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 15: out our satellites because we can knock out yours and
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 15: we can knock out more and we can knock them
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 15: out faster. So it's always a game changer. of having
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 15: capability for defense, if need be offense, to create deterrence,
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 15: and we have to maintain a superiority. Otherwise, we'll find
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 15: that the Chinese have colonized the moon and have seized
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 15: the helium-3 up there for energy and other purposes and
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 15: have declared a large domain of control, very much like
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 15: they jumped up one day a number of years back
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 15: and just claimed they control the South China Sea, which
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 15: was tens of thousands of miles of resource-rich ocean area
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 15: that was the size of China itself. We've been pushing
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 15: back on that for a number of years, as you know.
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 15: So the Chinese are very ambitious. The Russians are ambitious
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 15: but have less capability since they've kind of gone broke
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 15: fighting the wars and so forth. So we just are
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 15: in a good position with the foresight the president had,
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 15: and we just have to keep funding those programs.
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 19: Yeah, well.
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 3: Anthony, Kumi, anything you want to say before we sign off?
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 25: Yeah, I mean, since the Apollo program, we've pretty much
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 25: been this multinational thing, you know, the shuttle program, the
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 25: space station. Do you think there is a necessity for
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 25: us to start just being us up there, have our
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 25: own resources so we can build ships that can go further,
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 25: like you said, have a jumping off platform to the moon?
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 25: I think we have to concentrate a little more on ourselves.
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 25: I mean, for God's sake, we've been hitching rides to
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 25: and from the space station with Russia.
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 3: Shame, shame, shame.
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I agree with you. We've got to be prepared
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 15: to go where no one has gone before. As they say,
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 15: we've got to be prepared to go alone as a country.
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 15: It helps to pull our friends and allies along, like
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 15: the Europeans and Japanese and others, uh along with us
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 15: and make sure they have some technology some understanding of
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 15: the technology some ability to interact with us.
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 25: I like that i like that as far as the
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 25: science end of it goes but as far as the
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 25: military end of it goes i think we need to
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 25: be a little more solo up there um you know
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 25: we're the ones with the money and the technology i
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 25: think um sharing it yes science it's pretty good but
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 25: militarily i think we should uh be a little more
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 25: solo I agree.
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 15: We have to be prepared to dominate and go where
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 15: others don't have the capability and don't have the imagination
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 15: or the courage to establish the opportunity for humanity to
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 15: gain knowledge and information and science from space. Because we
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 15: tend to share.
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 10: We do that.
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 15: We spend the money and then we actually end up
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 15: sharing information. sometimes even too much science, which is very
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 15: costly to obtain.
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 3: Well, guys, thank you for coming on. Thank you for
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 3: bringing us up to date on what the heck is
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 3: going on in the world. And we've got to take
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 3: a break, and we'll be right back. And we have
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 3: Governor David Patterson. We have a show still up until
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 3: 10 o'clock. Breaking news. The premier of Canada, Doug Ford

• 2:06:56
  Speaker 3: Our sister country in North America, we have the Premier
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 3: of Ontario, Doug Ford, who's also considered like the head, well,
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 3: the head of all premiers of Canada. I mean, I
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 3: like to say that personally, and Doug, Doug Ford, the
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 3: Canadian people and the American people and the United States
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 3: people are one people. And are we having disagreements? Yes.
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 3: But Doug Ford, how do we put this closer together?
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 13: Well, first of all, John, thanks so much for having
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 13: me on. And that was a beautiful song. And so
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 13: is a star spangled banner. It's just two great countries. And,
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 13: you know, we, we, we just have to put our
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 13: differences aside, move forward. Like, Like Ronald Reagan did many
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 13: years ago. He was an incredible president. And we have
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 13: to– I always say you can't unscramble an egg that's
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 13: been around for 200 years. You have to make the
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 13: omelet larger. And I always call it Fortress North America.
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 13: Let's create a fortress.
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 3: Well, we need a fortress. fortress of North America, especially
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 3: right now with the big dome going over North America
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 3: by 2028 to protect all of North America. Space Force
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 3: has put new vehicles up there in outer space to
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 3: protect North America. and it looks like Greenland will protect
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 3: Canada as well as all of North America and Europe.
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, President Trump maybe says things the wrong way sometimes,
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 3: but if everybody sits together at the same table, I
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 3: guarantee there's a deal to be made. I know.
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 13: You know something? I agree 100%. With you, John, you know,
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 13: you sit down, break bread, and I guarantee you, if
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 13: you and I were there, we'd have a deal by
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 13: the time lunch was over.
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 13: That's what we have to do. We're both each other's
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 13: number one customer. And we have to worry about countries
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 13: like China, North Korea, Iran. And that's what we have
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 13: to worry about. We need to protect North America. And
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 13: let's get back to the table.
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 3: And your prime minister, I'm concerned, is trusting China too much.
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 3: And I'm concerned that he wants to align himself with Europe.
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 3: And Europe is not going to exist without a strong
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 3: United States.
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 13: Yeah, well, I agree with that. I always say the
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 13: president is the most powerful person in the world. But
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 13: with that power comes massive responsibility, not only to take
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 13: care of his country and number one priority for any president,
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 13: but the rest of the world too. And so that's
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 13: where the responsibility comes in place. I am dead against
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 13: bringing in any electric vehicles from China. It hurts our
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 13: auto sector in the United States and in Canada. We
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 13: purchase 400% more autos than anyone else in the world
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 13: off the U.S. And we're an economic powerhouse when we
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 13: work together. So that's what we want to focus on,
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 13: no matter if it's our fuel, the oil that we
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 13: ship down 4.1 million barrels a day, or the electricity
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 13: that we power homes and businesses in New York State
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 13: and in Michigan and Minnesota. That's what we have to
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 13: focus on. So there's a lot of, uh, a lot
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 13: of areas that we support each other.
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 3: We want the free world to stay free. And right
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 3: now with space force, with, with all the new weapons
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 3: that we have developed, uh, a strong, you know, the
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 3: only thing that dictators in the world fear, the only
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 3: thing is a strong United States. And they're doing everything
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 3: possible by raising oil over $ 100 a barrel. It's down
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 3: today to $ 93. But they're doing everything. And then the
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 3: Federal Reserve, which I was annoyed at, and I talked
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 3: to the president, and he was annoyed at. They raised
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 3: interest rates, even though... The only reason it's up is
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 3: because the elections are 45 days away, and they're trying
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 3: to make everybody look bad.
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 13: Yeah, no, I've never agreed with raising interest rates. The
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 13: governor of Bank of Canada, similar, their counterpart to the U.S.,
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 13: I believe in lowering interest rates, more investment comes, put
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 13: more money into people's pockets, into businesses.
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 24: And you put.
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 13: Money in the people's pockets, John. They're going to go
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 13: out and spend it. As simple as going out for
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 13: lunch or going out for dinner or buying your kids
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 13: new clothes or putting an addition on your home or
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 13: buying a home. And businesses, they reinvest it into their people, technology, infrastructure,
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 13: new equipment. That's why we've never raised taxes in Ontario.
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 13: We've reduced them by $ 12 billion a year. And we've
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 13: seen $ 71 billion more come up to the government's coffers.
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 3: Now, sitting next to me is the president's former lawyer.
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 3: He spent 12, 15 years with him, and he's a
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 3: Canadian citizen. Michael Cohen, Michael, I mean, you're a Canadian
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 3: citizen too. I am. I have dual citizenship, so it's
• 2:12:20
  Speaker 3: great to speak to you, Premier Ford. Thank you.
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 4: I do have to say, again, knowing Donald Trump, sitting
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 4: with him for as many hours as I have, more
• 2:12:30
  Speaker 4: than probably any human being on the planet, even to
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 4: this day, there is a deal to be had. Now,
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 4: understand that Trump needs to come out on top when
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 4: it comes to the deal because, as he says, the
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 4: United States holds all the cards. So if we were
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 4: going to talk Tachlis, right, we're going to just talk
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 4: facts and reality today.
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 3: He talks Jewish, too.
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 4: If hypothetically, right, well, my family's from Downsview, Ontario. That's
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 4: where my father grew up.
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 13: Down the street.
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 4: Right off of Spadina on Palm Drive. So my question
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 4: to you, Mr. Premier, is, Let's say I turn around
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 4: I said, Mr. President, I'd like to bring premier Ford
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 4: to come sit down at a table. We're going to
• 2:13:15
  Speaker 4: have some nice food. We're going to, we're going to
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 4: do the wine, dine schmoozing, you know, stuff together. What
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 4: would you turn around and say to him that would
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 4: entice him to put an end to what I believe
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 4: is also a terrible mistake. And that's these 50% tariffs
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 4: on whether it's cars, steel, or some of these other
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 4: soft lumber that we need desperately for construction.
• 2:13:38
  Speaker 3: What would you say to him?
• 2:13:41
  Speaker 13: I would first say we need Fortress North America to
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 13: protect us against China and North Korea and Iran. We
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 13: need to support each other, no matter if it's oil,
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 13: that we wouldn't have to rely on anyone because we
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 13: have plenty of oil we can ship down to the U.S.
• 2:13:57
  Speaker 13: We're already shipping probably 60, 65 percent of imports of oil.
• 2:14:02
  Speaker 13: As we create more electricity, there's no one I want
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 13: to send it down to more than our best friends
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 13: and our allies, along with the aluminum and high-grade nickel
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 13: that comes from Ontario. That goes into 65% of high-grade
• 2:14:17
  Speaker 13: nickel comes from Ontario for your military, for aerospace, and
• 2:14:22
  Speaker 13: in manufacturing, we're stronger together.
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 3: But that's a reality, Mr.
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 24: Premier.
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 4: That's a reality. The question is, what is the offer?
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 4: And again, don't be shocked if Trump is actually listening
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 4: to this show. What would be the offer that Canada
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 4: would then provide where Trump would turn around and say, listen,
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 4: this is what I brought to the table, and we won.
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 4: We got the better of the deal, because we don't
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 4: have the better of the deal right now.
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 13: Well, you know, what people want in the U.S. I
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 13: spent 20 years of my life down there, Michael. I
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 13: love Americans. So do Canadians. I know Americans love Canadians
• 2:15:01
  Speaker 13: as well.
• 2:15:01
  Speaker 3: We're one people.
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 13: Yeah, they want certainty. They want stability. And right now
• 2:15:08
  Speaker 13: there's uncertainty and there is instability. So we need to
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 13: create that stable stability. environment for companies to come and invest. Now,
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 13: I can't speak for the Prime Minister. He's going to
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 13: be negotiating. But I can tell you one thing, Michael.
• 2:15:23
  Speaker 13: If you, myself, and John sat around the table, like
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 13: I said, we'd have a deal by the end of
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 13: lunch hour. So we have to negotiate on both sides
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 13: of the table. And I think there's opportunities, huge, massive opportunities.
• 2:15:38
  Speaker 13: And you'll see more jobs create created in the U.S.
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 13: and in Canada. And you have more opportunities because 9
• 2:15:46
  Speaker 13: million Americans wake up every morning to produce a product,
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 13: a widget, or a service for Ontario alone. We're the
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 13: engine of Canada. And that's what we'd offer. So I
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 13: think there's tremendous opportunities, and it's critical minerals, rare earth minerals,
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 13: and energy, electricity that you need to power your data centers.
• 2:16:05
  Speaker 3: Now, one of the most important things that I'm concerned about,
• 2:16:10
  Speaker 3: is that our enemies, the axis of evil, they want
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 3: to power down President Trump and reduce his power by
• 2:16:24
  Speaker 3: having the Democrats win 45 days from now. My concern
• 2:16:26
  Speaker 3: is that that your premier is also getting very close
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 3: to Macron. He was there the other day. And the
• 2:16:39
  Speaker 3: Europeans feel that because of tariffs and because of what
• 2:16:45
  Speaker 3: President Trump is trying to do, even in the playing field,
• 2:16:48
  Speaker 3: that they're trying to weaken President Trump. But that's going
• 2:16:52
  Speaker 3: to hurt the overall freedom.
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 9: Of the world.
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 13: Yeah, so I guess everyone's looking to diversify trade. But
• 2:17:00
  Speaker 13: in saying that, make no mistake about it, the U.S.
• 2:17:04
  Speaker 13: is always going to be our closest friend and ally,
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 13: number one trading partner. And that's all the more reason
• 2:17:10
  Speaker 13: we have to focus on getting a deal. Yes, does
• 2:17:13
  Speaker 13: the U.S. have to diversify? Do we? 100% we do.
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 13: But make no mistake about it, that we're still closest friends,
• 2:17:21
  Speaker 13: closest allies, and number one trading partner. both countries so
• 2:17:27
  Speaker 13: we we need to sit down and again this is
• 2:17:29
  Speaker 13: up to the prime minister to sit down and make
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 13: that decision.
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah except sometimes you know like where you have the
• 2:17:37
  Speaker 3: president turns around and says that right now the trade
• 2:17:40
  Speaker 3: terms that we have with canada are unfair and uneconomic
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 3: that's what it comes down to sitting around the same
• 2:17:47
  Speaker 3: table with good faith on both sides and to be
• 2:17:53
  Speaker 3: able to do.
• 2:17:53
  Speaker 13: That Yeah, I guess I'm not going to litigate on
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 13: air right now.
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 2:17:59
  Speaker 3: We don't want this. We love you. You know, Claudia
• 2:18:03
  Speaker 3: Tenney loves you. I'm glad I introduced you guys. She
• 2:18:06
  Speaker 3: wants to sell more beer in Canada. But we just
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 3: want everybody to know that whatever influence we have in
• 2:18:17
  Speaker 3: You never know. President Trump makes his own decisions. He
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 3: listens to a lot of us, but he makes his
• 2:18:22
  Speaker 3: own decisions. Michael, you better be nice to Premier Ford.
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 3: He could pull the switch and cut the power off
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 3: to the whole studio. That's 100% true. By the way,
• 2:18:31
  Speaker 3: that is 100% true.
• 2:18:32
  Speaker 4: People don't realize that New York City, for example, is
• 2:18:36
  Speaker 4: powered by.
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 15: Well, I want to send more electricity.
• 2:18:43
  Speaker 24: I want to send more. I'll give you one example.
• 2:18:45
  Speaker 13: I talked to Governor Hochul and she said they're expanding
• 2:18:48
  Speaker 13: by a thousand megawatts. And I said, that's great. She said,
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 13: what are you expanding by? I said, 16,000 megawatts, which
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 13: is equal to powering 16 million homes. We don't need
• 2:18:57
  Speaker 13: power for six homes, but we'd love to send it
• 2:19:00
  Speaker 13: down to the U.S., and power their data centers, their businesses,
• 2:19:06
  Speaker 13: keep the lights on at a competitive rate. That's what
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 13: we're doing. We're expanding larger than anyone in North America
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 13: right now. But I want to send it down to
• 2:19:15
  Speaker 13: our closest friends, because when the U.S. economy is strong,
• 2:19:18
  Speaker 13: Canada's economy is strong. We're connected at the hips. And
• 2:19:22
  Speaker 13: I always say, united we stand, divided we fall. And
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 13: we're going to stay united for many, many years to come.
• 2:19:30
  Speaker 3: You're the businessman that became a politician. President Trump is
• 2:19:35
  Speaker 3: a businessman that became a politician. I think the two
• 2:19:38
  Speaker 3: of you understand each other. We just have to get
• 2:19:41
  Speaker 3: everybody at the same table. And I hope everybody in
• 2:19:46
  Speaker 3: Canada listening to us, I hope everybody sits down at
• 2:19:50
  Speaker 3: the same table and makes a deal. I agree.
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 13: And we have to do it faster. I always say faster, quicker, immediate.
• 2:19:57
  Speaker 13: Let's start moving and bring certainty of stability to both countries.
• 2:20:01
  Speaker 3: Doug Ford, thank you so much for coming on. And
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 3: like I said, we are one people. And God bless America.
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 3: And when I say God bless America, I mean Canada
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 3: and the United States. Thank you, Premier.
• 2:20:14
  Speaker 13: Well said.
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 24: Thank you.
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 13: And I can't wait to go to your restaurant there, John.
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 13: I'll be visiting New York soon.
• 2:20:19
  Speaker 2: Look forward to it.
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 13: God bless America.
• 2:20:21
  Speaker 5: God bless Canada.
• 2:20:22
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 2:20:24
  Speaker 23: The House has passed a bill to require AM radios
• 2:20:26
  Speaker 23: in cars.
• 2:20:27
  Speaker 21: A bill that will keep AM radios humming in every
• 2:20:30
  Speaker 21: new vehicle is halfway to the President's desk after months
• 2:20:32
  Speaker 21: of wrangling.
• 2:20:33
  Speaker 1: And here's what John Katsimatidis has to say about AM radio.
• 2:20:37
  Speaker 3: My commitment is to the United States of America, and
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 3: FEMA wants to make sure that AM radio continues to
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 3: inform the American people. My commitment is to continue to
• 2:20:48
  Speaker 3: invest in AM radio and be able to keep every
• 2:20:51
  Speaker 3: American safer.
• 2:20:52
  Speaker 2: The bill now heads to the Senate. WABC Traffic and Transit.

• 2:21:06
  Speaker 14: right by 18B. So that's going to be a bit
• 2:21:09
  Speaker 14: of a problem. It's been there only for about 15

• 2:23:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, how crazy is that? You know, I want
• 2:23:24
  Speaker 4: to finish the show, John, by talking about... The constant
• 2:23:29
  Speaker 4: attacks on the president, and by the way, the things
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 4: that are wrong, I'm the first one that will criticize.
• 2:23:34
  Speaker 4: But the things that are right, we have to acknowledge.
• 2:23:37
  Speaker 4: And I was talking to John during one of the breaks.
• 2:23:39
  Speaker 4: We were talking about Trump Rx.
• 2:23:42
  Speaker 3: Now, people are like, oh, my God, Trump Rx. Let
• 2:23:45
  Speaker 3: me be crystal clear.
• 2:23:48
  Speaker 4: I joined TrumpRx just the other day because the price
• 2:23:51
  Speaker 4: of my medication has gotten out of control. And one
• 2:23:55
  Speaker 4: of the things that's in there, it says, thanks to
• 2:23:58
  Speaker 4: President Trump, the days of big pharma price gouging are over.
• 2:24:02
  Speaker 4: Leveraging the full weight and power of the United States
• 2:24:04
  Speaker 4: of America, the president has ensured every American gets the
• 2:24:08
  Speaker 4: lowest prices on prescription medications in the developed world. Some
• 2:24:14
  Speaker 4: people say, oh, that's BS.
• 2:24:15
  Speaker 3: It's not true. It's not true. I went on it.
• 2:24:17
  Speaker 3: I looked at the medication that I take. When I
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 3: say it's 80% discounted simply by going to TrumpRx, it is,
• 2:24:25
  Speaker 3: and I can't wait to use it. TrumpRx.com? TrumpRx.gov. I'm
• 2:24:29
  Speaker 3: going to try it myself. Yeah, TrumpRx.gov. TrumpRx.gov.

• 2:24:48
  Speaker 25: it's an amazing accomplishment.
• 2:24:49
  Speaker 3: I haven't heard anybody.
• 2:24:50
  Speaker 9: I haven't heard anything.
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 3: This is the first time I heard about it from Michael.
• 2:24:55
  Speaker 3: It's unbelievable.
• 2:24:56
  Speaker 4: I went on to the other day just to see,
• 2:24:58
  Speaker 4: because the price is out of control, 80% difference. So
• 2:25:02
  Speaker 4: when he talks about fair pricing, when he talks about
• 2:25:05
  Speaker 4: a favored nation pricing, this is exactly what he's somebody
• 2:25:10
  Speaker 4: even in this administration needs to start talking more about
• 2:25:13
  Speaker 4: the accomplishments and drown out the There's like CNN MS
• 2:25:18
  Speaker 4: now and others because truth is truth. And that's exactly
• 2:25:22
