Speaker 1 (00:00):
According to you man, is it gonna be beautiful this week?
(00:04):
Mostly Sonny Sonny, Sonny Sonny. There the next four days. Yeah,
there's gonna be some Hayes in the air, but it
is mostly upstate. I don't think and leave a talk
back if you've been affected by this, But I haven't
really seen the hayes that we've seen before over New
York City or northern New Jersey. Mostly it's just been
(00:25):
gorgeous in the Big Three. Donald Trump says he is
considering getting directly involved in the New York mayor's race
to stop Zorin Mom Donnie from becoming mayor. This according
to The New York Times, whatever Donald.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Trump seeks to do to influence the outcome of this election,
I have more faith in New Yorkers themselves. What they
want is someone who can stand up to an authoritarian
administration and to the billionaires that gave us that administration.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Political commentator Laura Curran will be here at eight oh
five to talk about the new twist in the mayor.
President Trump has told European leaders that he is going
to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President
Vladimir Zelinski about a ceasefire as early as next week,
(01:16):
and we haven't determined where.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
But we had some very good talks with President Putin
today and there's a very good chance that we could
be ending these ending the round, ending the end of
that road.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Bed road was long and continues to be long.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
But there's a good chance that there will be a
meeting very soon.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
White House Correspondent John Decker. We'll be here with more
on that meeting at seven o five. A shocking mass
shooting at Fort Stewart Army Base in Savannah, Georgia.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
An active duty soldier assigned to Fort Stewart, Georgia, shot
and wounded five of his fellow soldiers here on Fort Stewart. Thankfully,
all are unstable condition and all are expected recover.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
The shooter is in custody right now. He has been
identified as twenty five year old Sergeant Cornelius Radford. Lieutenant
General Richard Newton will be with us at eight thirty
five to talk about that shooting and a possible motive.
Attorney General Pam Bondi put out a list of sanctuary cities,
including New York and in New Jersey, Newark, Patterson and
(02:23):
Jersey City with a threat of legal action for impeding
ICE officers, which by the way, is a crime.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
It would much rather have sanctuary policies that make their
communities less safe. It's not right, it's not what the
American people voted for, and it's not going to keep
the American citizen safe.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
That's ICE director Todd lyons. A push to ban horse
draw and carriages in the city is really picking up steam.
After another horse, this one named Lucy, dies on the
streets of Manhattan, and Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Leewa is
joining the movement.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
We're all from different political backgrounds.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Is independence of Democrats as Republicans.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
There maybe even be people heal don't even vote. One
thing that brings us together is the humanity of protecting
God's creatures. These horses from fer the home. You probably
know this. Curtis is not only on the Republican line
as the Republican candidate, but they also he is the
candidate on the protect Animals independent line. The Pride of
(03:25):
West Milford, New Jersey and Hofstra University, Jen Powell will
make Major League Baseball history when she becomes the first
woman Major League Baseball umpire on Saturday.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
Once I started umpiring, I was like, this is for
me and I can't explains in my DNA.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
And what a night on Broadway. There was a huge
block party outside the theater in Hamilton. The one of
a kind musical that reinvigorated broad Way celebrated its ten
year anniversary with its creator Lynwell, Marianne Lynwell, Marianda Lynwel
(04:09):
Miranda joined the cast for a perfect song to celebrate
the occasion was up on that stage and outside they
had to close off the street for an enormous block party.
A huge celebration on Broadway. And man, how important was
that play to Broadway. It brought it back and it
(04:29):
still keeps packing houses. Let's talk about the mayor's race
for a second. Now. We all know that Donald Trump
does not like Zurin Mamdani. He thinks he'll be awful
for the city of New York. And since he's a
New Yorker, he really pays attention to New York politics
and all New York issues. But he has come out
(04:50):
time and time and time again and said how bad
Zurin Mamdani is going to be for the City of
New York and has come out and called him a communist.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
He's a communist. Okay, this is not a socialist man,
This is a communist.
Speaker 7 (05:05):
If you look at any.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Of his policies and go back six months, you don't
have to go back further than that. So they want
to put a communist in New York. Now, the good
news is we have a lot of power over that
because we're the ones with the money. We send the money,
we don't send the money.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
It's up to the White House.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
A lot of power in the White House.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
So he's been threatening funds if Zori Mom Donnie gets elected.
But he's been doing more than that, according to the
New York Times. According to the New York Times, he's
been making phone calls and trying to broker one candidate,
and he's trying to figure out who that one candidate is.
Everybody else to drop out and have one candidate taken
on Zora and Mom Donnie for a better chance to
(05:45):
beat him. He has had conversations, according to The New
York Times, with Mark Penn, who I play sound from
Mark Penn on this show a lot of times. He
was a pollster who worked for Bill and Hillary Clinton.
He also talked with Andrew Stein, a former New York
City Council president who is a decade's long friend of
(06:05):
Donald Trump, and he's been looking at polling to decide
who would be the best candidate, and he's come up
with Andrew Cuomo and he has had converse. They haven't
always got along, Andrew Cuomo and Donald Trump, but according
to The New York Times, he's had conversations with Cuomo
about trying to broker a deal to get Eric Adams
(06:25):
out of the race. And I'm sure Donald Trump's going
to offer him a job to get him out of
the race. And I don't know what he's going to
do about Curtis Leewa, because Curtis Leba doesn't seem interested
in any of this. And we're going to I'll play
for you what he had to say about it in
a second. But the one thing that everybody can agree about. Oh,
by the way, Trump and Cuomo have both denied that
(06:47):
they made a phone call. The New York Times quotes
three sources, but both Cuomo and Trump. Cuomo put out
a statement he didn't talk, but he put out a
statement saying no, that that phone call never happened. But
he does agree that Zori Mamdani shouldn't be mayor of
New York. And he says a lot of people feel
(07:08):
the same way.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
Everyone is petrified about electing a socialist who's anti police,
who they feel will bankrupt New York City.
Speaker 7 (07:18):
Right.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
If you're anti business, what makes you think the businesses
are going to come here, let alone stay here. If
you're anti police, what makes me think that you're going
to make the city safer? If anything is going to
get more dangerous?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Right?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I think most sane people, including sane Democrats, agree, Zorin
Mamdani would be a disasters. He's the grand liar. He
promises the world everybody gets a car, everybody gets healthcare,
everybody gets free buses, everybody gets to go to a
grocery store where they charge you next to nothing because
(07:53):
they're run by the state with really absolutely no plan
to pay for it. I mean, he keeps saying is
going to raise taxes. He doesn't have that power, He
can't do it. So it's all a mirage. But this
New York Times article is maybe the best thing that
happened to Zorin Mam Donnie, and he knows it.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Whatever Donald Trump seeks to do to influence the outcome
of this election. I have more faith in New Yorkers themselves.
What they want is someone who can stand up to
an authoritarian administration and to the billionaires that gave us
that administration.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
The reason Eric Adams is doing so poorly in the
polls is because of his affiliation with Donald Trump. The
last thing Cuomo wants right now is an affiliation with
Donald Trump, because in this city, unlike the rest of
the country, in this city, Donald Trump is not somebody
you want to have advertised as being a partner.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
This is a great opportunity for Momdonni to use the
President as a boogeyman, or in Albatroz, to put around
the neck of former Governor Cuomo.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
That's our good friend J. C. Poloncle. Probably the best
advice yesterday when this story first broke, came from the
Republican candidate Curtis Slee with.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
There's no doubt he talks often with Eric Adams, he
talks often with Cuomo, who he's known that families have
known one another.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
He doesn't talk to me.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
So I've advised the president publicly be like Switzerland, stay
out of this race.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
That's the best advice. Let these guys work it out now.
I'm sure he's going to come in here and wait.
Over the next few months, Eric Adams is going to
get offered a big job by the Trump administration and
maybe he'll leave. Maybe he'll leave and somebody else will
step in. But it is it is political poison in
New York City if you're a Democrat to have Donald
(09:48):
Trump fighting for you. And that's why the New York
Times put this out, and that's why Andrew Cuomo said,
what are you talking about? No, no, no, no, no,
I'd love to hear what you have to say about this.
You go to the iHeartRadio app and leave us a

Speaker 4 (11:18):
Well.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
After the shooting at Fort Stewart that wounded five American soldiers,
we are very proud to be joined by Lieutenant General
Richard Newton, former US Air Force Assistant Vice Chief of
Staff and News Nation senior National security contributor. Thank you
(11:38):
so much, sir for being with us today.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
Good morning, Larry. Delighted to be with you regardless of
the circumstances. But this is a tough story.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
It is a tough story, and it hit all of us.
As soon as you hear a story like this, you
run to the TV sets, you run to the radios
to hear more, and you're hoping, You're hoping for the best.
And I guessed we did get the best of the
could have happened in a situation like this, and that
nobody died. But I know how we all felt. I
don't know how people that served felt when they heard this,
(12:10):
because my guess is you must see this as a
real violation considering the fact you've been on these camps
and you've been with these men. Could you please explain
your first feelings when you heard about this story.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Well, my first thought harkened back immediately when I was
a senior general officer in the Pentagon. I was part
of the initial senior officer investigative review team that we
put together. As I mentioned, the Pentagon in November of
two thousand and nine, if you recall our listeners may
recall when Major Nadal Hassan, an Army major at the
(12:44):
time psychiatrists, killed thirteen fellow soldiers and wounded thirty at
Fort Hood in that early morning hours. And so my
first thought was concern for the soldiers at Fort Stewart
or fifteen thousand soldiers there by the way, in sixteen
thousand family members. And then once I heard and started
(13:08):
to hear just the initial reports come out, my first
thought in terms of what it was was likely an
insider attack, much like we saw with Hassan in terms
of a weapon firing on fellow soldiers and then being
subdued and apprehended almost immediately.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Exactly. The only good thing that came out of this,
and the only thing that should make people proud, is
that you had young men I'm assuming they're young men
that were there that were being shot at. There was
somebody with a gun, an active shooter, and instead of
running out of there or hiding or going for cover,
several of them went at the man and tackled him.
(13:48):
And if not for that, this could have been a
lot worse. Being someone that served, being someone that's led
these men. You must be so proud, I am.
Speaker 7 (13:57):
And you know we have two million men and women
in uniform and all volunteers, and in this case, and
also as we've demonstrated in a rock in Afghanistan, and
by the way, our men and women serving overseas a
and over one hundred and thirty five locations around the
world as we speak right now this morning, they run
to the sound of gunfire and this was a demonstration, however,
(14:20):
of not a combat situation, but still their training kicked
in and the fact that they were able to nearly
immediately subdue this army sergeant in what I'm going to
term and this is preliminary obviously, but an extreme case
of you know, work center violence in this case. But
(14:42):
the other aspect of this I want to underscore is
at Fort Stewart, and you would expect this at other installations.
I've been a major installation commander where I had a
lockdown situation, we immediately went into force protection condition delta,
which is what happened at Fort Stewart. But for the
army leadership as well as the chaining comand all the
way down to those soldiers who subdued this Army sergeant
(15:04):
in terms of the timing of this, in terms of
putting medical attention immediately on the scene for those five
wounded soldiers, for Fort Stewart to lock down the installation,
to protect other soldiers in the sixteen thousand family members there,
and to get those soldiers who are in critical condition.
Knowing that there when Army Hospital wasn't as a Level
(15:26):
four trauma center wasn't going to be provided the care
they needed, they were able to get those remaining critical soldiers.
I understand there's two of them to Savannah Memorial Hospital,
which is forty miles away, into a Level one trauma center.
I believe is going to also be something that will
(15:47):
be textbooked. But nonetheless, now the hard work begins. What happened,
how did it happen, Why did it happen, and how
can we prevent this from ever happening again.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Let's start with the gun, because you've talked about how
wonderful they were after the fact that I agree with
you one thousand percent enduring the shooting. But there must
have been a screw up somewhere before the shooting, because
he never should have had this personal gun on his person.
It's supposed to be locked away, isn't it.
Speaker 7 (16:15):
Absolute, Larry and first and foremost again as a major
installation commander in this case, it was Breeder General Lubis
who's the third Army or a third Infantry division commander
was on area yesterday. You know communicated, you know we
will go back and really understand what happened. But the
concern is is, indeed, how does an American soldier bring
(16:36):
his own personal handgun and fired on his fellow soldiers.
It's not just the gun itself, but the whole aspect
of why and how it led up to this. And
so you're right in this case you should not expect
or would even anticipate someone bringing their personal handgun to
use it on their fellow soldiers. But this is going
(17:00):
to be looking at rules and regulations, but protocols and
processes and so forth in terms of how handguns can
get into the hands of of those who in a
very very uh again very limited unique way want to
do harm against their fellow soldiers. But the fact is
that it was reportedly a nine nil personal handgun. How
(17:20):
it got to the work center is still to be determined.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Now apparently some a little bit of motive is coming
out in news reports that he had some disagreements with
people that he served with and he was a little
bit disgruntled that he wasn't moving up ranks quick enough.
Is are there processes on the in these in these campuses,
and you shouldn't go to campus, uh inside these facilities
(17:46):
that that pinpoints that that can deal with that before
it gets to this point.
Speaker 7 (17:52):
It absolutely all the services UH, United States Army, the
Marine Corps, the Air Force and Navy, and the Space
Force and so forth, that this is the responsibility of
the chaining manned as well as your fellow soldiers. In
this case. UH, it's almost like having lived in New
York City. You know, you know the terminology. If you
see something, say something. But if there's an indication of
say your fellow soldier, your your you know, men and
(18:13):
women are serving with that, there's our issues. If there
are hints of mental health issues for instance, if there's
things that in terms of off duty, UH, there are
issues with their behavior. In this case, it's reported that
Sergeant Rafford had been charged with a DUI back in
May UH and had not reported that to his chain
(18:34):
of command as he is required to do so UH,
and there could have been some some lingering aspects of
what was going on within the army unit and so forth.
He's a logistics sergeant and this is logistics unit supposedly
with UH with a third Infantry Division. Those things will
be looked at, but nonetheless you are in however, you know,
(18:56):
in the United States Army and the Air Force and
other services, you don't necessarily lean away from those you
serve with, you lean into. And the fact is is
that it's one team, one fight, and so forth. And
I have to think that his fellow soldiers really had
not perhaps even contemplat or even anticipated this type of violence.
(19:16):
And I want our listeners also, I'll close on this
point for this commentary. But this is very very unique situation,
and this is not something that we would anticipate that
is prevalent throughout the ranks at all. You know, we
recruit from the best and brightest that America has to offer,
but there's only about a twenty three percent of the
(19:37):
population between ages for men and women at eighteen to
twenty five. And we really try to make sure that
those that we recruit and we bring into the armed
forces that indeed, you know, meet all the ethical standards
and health and mental and so forth. But something happened
along the way. This sergeant has served in the Army
(19:57):
for about eight years or so, but something has had
to happen along the way that the Army will find out,
much like we did in the deep investigation thorough Investigation Congression.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Yeah, major, Yeah, I understand that. Thank you so much.
You've been great, Lieutenant General Richard Newton, you gave us
some insight into this. Former US Air Force Assistant Vice
chief of Staff and News Nation senior National security contributor.
Thank you, Sarah Hope to talk again.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
Good to be with you.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Oh about that Apple investment in America, And that's all
because of Donald Trump. All of it's because of Donald Trump.
He threatened to put twenty He's been using the tariffs
as a weapon. He threatened to put twenty five percent
tariffs on all Apple parts and iPhones if they didn't
(20:44):
build in America. And man did they respond.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
And I'm very proud to say that today we're committing
an additional one hundred billion to the United States, bringing
our total US investment to six hundred billion over the
next four years.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
That's Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, making the announcement.
With that, let's talk to rich DeMuro from rich On
Tech has heard Sunday nights from eight to eleven pm
on WOR. Rich is with us every Thursday at this time.
You can also follow him at rich on Tech on Instagram,
where you can ask him your own questions as well,
(21:22):
and you can ask him during his show from eight
to eleven on woor on Sunday nights. Rich what a
big day it was for Apple, for Donald Trump and
for America with that announcement at the White.
Speaker 9 (21:34):
House today, you know, because Apple had already pledged five
hundred billion dollars, so that was a good start, but
then they said we want more, and so now they're
pledging another one hundred billion dollars. It's all part of
an effort to bring more of Apple's supply chain to
the US. There's not going to be a scenario where
the iPhone is made in the US anytime soon. Tim
(21:57):
Cook said that himself in the Oval Office. But we
can make more of the parts of the iPhone here
in the US, and the final assembly can still be overseas.
And with that, that's a big part of this announcement.
A lot of the chips, a lot of the components,
and all of the glass moving forward on both the
iPhone and the Apple Watch will be made in Kentucky.
(22:18):
And if you watch the announcement, Tim Cook actually gave
Trump a gift made of glass and gold. The glass
from that high tech Kentucky glass plant, So, yeah, a
lot more of the iPhone going to be made here
in the US because of this.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
It reminded me back when Obama was first running for president.
He had a meeting with Steve Jobs and he said
to him, how do I get the manufacturing in China
to move here? And Steve Jobs looked him in the
eyes and said, it's never going to happen. It can happen. Well,
I guess it can happen.
Speaker 9 (22:51):
Yeah. Look, I think the Apple is so intertwined with
China with what they've built over the past twenty years,
so it is not an easy process to move all
of that to the US. But again, I think what
they're doing here is they're saying, look, we're gonna prioritize
the US in the way that we make these pieces
and components, and of course US jobs. Apple puts a
(23:13):
lot of people to work a lot, and so I
think by them pluging this money and prioritizing, you know,
if we can do things in the US, let's try
to do things here. That's a good start.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Yeah, being threatened with twenty five percent tariffs that helped
a little bit too, But they did the right thing
in the end. So everybody's happy. And I think everybody's
gonna be happy with the new Instagram too.
Speaker 9 (23:38):
Yeah. I think this is a huge feature, especially for creators,
anyone who's trying to increase their following. I mean there's
a couple of new features they're adding. First off, repost.
As soon as you open up Instagram the next time,
you're going to see a new icon underneath the stuff
that you're looking at. Typically you see, you know, a
comment icon, a share icon, and this is a new
(24:01):
repost icon. And basically, anytime you tap that, if you
like something, you're going to send that content to your
friends' feeds. They're not guaranteed to see it, but it's
almost like making a post of your own. So for
people that are creating content on Instagram, this can really
amplify their reach, which I think a lot of them
will like. Now, the thing that's really interesting that they're
(24:22):
doing for the average person is this new Instagram map.
And I don't think everyone's going to like this. I
think younger people are going to take to it quicker
than maybe some of the older folks. But here's what
it does. It puts you on a map, so every
time you open up the Instagram app. Your location will
be shared to this map, where you can now see
where all of your friends are in one place. This
(24:44):
is opt in, which means Instagram smartly is not turning
it on by default, but if you tag your location
in a post or a story, you will show up
on that map, so just be aware of it. I
think it's pretty cool. I understand that not everyone wants
to see or no wants their friends to know where
they are at all times.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
My kids love that. They do it on Snapchat all
the time. They're always looking to see what friends are
around them. So I think this is mostly for young
adults and teenagers because they love that. But it sounds
like they're just taking the things that worked on some
other apps and integrating it into their system. Is that right.
Speaker 9 (25:26):
I think we've seen that over the years, larry over
and over with Instagram. I mean, you know, it's become
very very popular in spite of the fact that they've
pretty much borrowed quote unquote all of their most popular
features from every other app out there, whether it's Twitter
with the reposts, whether it's TikTok with the reels, whether
it is Snapchat with the maps. Now and also the stories.
(25:47):
But you're right. Young people love that feature on Snapchat
and it creates a lot of fomo and I love
that feature too, even though I'm older. But I love
the idea of landing in a city for a story
that I'm shooting or whatever and being like, oh, wow,
there's five of my friends in this city that are around,
let me call them up. I mean, there are benefits
to that idea of connecting with people that you're online with.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Everywhere I go with my son, who's eighteen, he looks
at Snapchat to see if there's any friends nearby so
he can leave me and go hang out with his friends.
Speaker 9 (26:21):
Sad for that, but it is cool. I mean, it's
the beauty of the world, connect with the people around
you that you already know. It's kind of neat, but
that's not everyone's gonna use it.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
I'm a little surprised by this next story because I
thought Disney Plus and Hulu were always together because when
I bought my original subscription to Disney Plus, I got
Hulu with it. You got one price to get them both.
But now there's a bigger merger going on.
Speaker 9 (26:46):
Yeah, so over the years, you know, Hulu and Disney
were separate companies. Disney had an interest and investment in them,
but they bought it out over the past couple of years,
so they completely own Hulu at this point. But what
they're gonna do is phase out the Hulu standalone app.
So they've been integrating the content into the Disney app
over the past couple of years. But it's been kind
(27:07):
of frustrating for users because you click something and it's like, oh, sorry,
you're not subscribed to Hulu, so you're still gonna have
to subscribe separately to Hulu, or like you said, you
might have a bundle that includes all of these things.
But the idea is that Disney is going to have
one mega app with all of their content eventually in
this same app, including Hulu, including Disney Plus, including Fubo,
(27:31):
which they've recently purchased as well, so that's live TV.
So the idea is that you can get everything all
in one place. You only have to open up one app.
You will have to subscribe to the services separately, but
a lot of people do the bundle, like you said,
and this is all to help them compete better with
something like a Netflix, because guess what once Hulu's merged
with Disney Plus. Now they can report those subscriber numbers
(27:53):
as one and say, look, we've got three hundred million
people using our app versus Netflix two hundred million, whatever
they've got.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
I'll tell you what. I have two sons in college
right now, and I love how colleges have started to
accept artificial intelligence more and more. And I also love
what Google's doing. Explain.
Speaker 9 (28:13):
Yeah, Google is giving AI for free to college students.
So basically, if you're in college, you can get Google's
most advanced AI, which is Gemini. You can get that
for free, and so all you have to do is
claim this by October sixth. The idea is that you know,
they want college students using this because they are the future,
(28:34):
and you're going to get access to everything that they've got,
including their Gemini for homework help and research notebook LM,
which we've talked about. It's a really cool AI notebook,
video creation coding assistant. Plus two terabytes of Google storage,
which is also really great for storing all that stuff
in the cloud. So again, this is you know, war
(28:54):
against chat GPT because they know that a lot of
people are using that. They want college students to use Gemini,
giving him twelve months for free if you claim it
by October six.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Rich Samira rich on Tech has heard Sunday nights from
eight to eleven pm on wr Rich is with us
every Thursday at nine thirty five, and make sure you
sign up for his newsletter at richontech dot tv. Thanks
a lot, Rich, Thank you, Larry,
According to you man, is it gonna be beautiful this week?
(00:04):
Mostly Sonny Sonny, Sonny Sonny. There the next four days. Yeah,
there's gonna be some Hayes in the air, but it
is mostly upstate. I don't think and leave a talk
back if you've been affected by this, But I haven't
really seen the hayes that we've seen before over New
York City or northern New Jersey. Mostly it's just been
(00:25):
gorgeous in the Big Three. Donald Trump says he is
considering getting directly involved in the New York mayor's race
to stop Zorin Mom Donnie from becoming mayor. This according
to The New York Times, whatever Donald.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Trump seeks to do to influence the outcome of this election,
I have more faith in New Yorkers themselves. What they
want is someone who can stand up to an authoritarian
administration and to the billionaires that gave us that administration.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Political commentator Laura Curran will be here at eight oh
five to talk about the new twist in the mayor.
President Trump has told European leaders that he is going
to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President
Vladimir Zelinski about a ceasefire as early as next week,
(01:16):
and we haven't determined where.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
But we had some very good talks with President Putin
today and there's a very good chance that we could
be ending these ending the round, ending the end of
that road.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Bed road was long and continues to be long.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
But there's a good chance that there will be a
meeting very soon.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
White House Correspondent John Decker. We'll be here with more
on that meeting at seven o five. A shocking mass
shooting at Fort Stewart Army Base in Savannah, Georgia.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
An active duty soldier assigned to Fort Stewart, Georgia, shot
and wounded five of his fellow soldiers here on Fort Stewart. Thankfully,
all are unstable condition and all are expected recover.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
The shooter is in custody right now. He has been
identified as twenty five year old Sergeant Cornelius Radford. Lieutenant
General Richard Newton will be with us at eight thirty
five to talk about that shooting and a possible motive.
Attorney General Pam Bondi put out a list of sanctuary cities,
including New York and in New Jersey, Newark, Patterson and
(02:23):
Jersey City with a threat of legal action for impeding
ICE officers, which by the way, is a crime.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
It would much rather have sanctuary policies that make their
communities less safe. It's not right, it's not what the
American people voted for, and it's not going to keep
the American citizen safe.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
That's ICE director Todd lyons. A push to ban horse
draw and carriages in the city is really picking up steam.
After another horse, this one named Lucy, dies on the
streets of Manhattan, and Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Leewa is
joining the movement.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
We're all from different political backgrounds.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Is independence of Democrats as Republicans.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
There maybe even be people heal don't even vote. One
thing that brings us together is the humanity of protecting
God's creatures. These horses from fer the home. You probably
know this. Curtis is not only on the Republican line
as the Republican candidate, but they also he is the
candidate on the protect Animals independent line. The Pride of
(03:25):
West Milford, New Jersey and Hofstra University, Jen Powell will
make Major League Baseball history when she becomes the first
woman Major League Baseball umpire on Saturday.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
Once I started umpiring, I was like, this is for
me and I can't explains in my DNA.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
And what a night on Broadway. There was a huge
block party outside the theater in Hamilton. The one of
a kind musical that reinvigorated broad Way celebrated its ten
year anniversary with its creator Lynwell, Marianne Lynwell, Marianda Lynwel
(04:09):
Miranda joined the cast for a perfect song to celebrate
the occasion was up on that stage and outside they
had to close off the street for an enormous block party.
A huge celebration on Broadway. And man, how important was
that play to Broadway. It brought it back and it
(04:29):
still keeps packing houses. Let's talk about the mayor's race
for a second. Now. We all know that Donald Trump
does not like Zurin Mamdani. He thinks he'll be awful
for the city of New York. And since he's a
New Yorker, he really pays attention to New York politics
and all New York issues. But he has come out
(04:50):
time and time and time again and said how bad
Zurin Mamdani is going to be for the City of
New York and has come out and called him a communist.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
He's a communist. Okay, this is not a socialist man,
This is a communist.
Speaker 7 (05:05):
If you look at any.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Of his policies and go back six months, you don't
have to go back further than that. So they want
to put a communist in New York. Now, the good
news is we have a lot of power over that
because we're the ones with the money. We send the money,
we don't send the money.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
It's up to the White House.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
A lot of power in the White House.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
So he's been threatening funds if Zori Mom Donnie gets elected.
But he's been doing more than that, according to the
New York Times. According to the New York Times, he's
been making phone calls and trying to broker one candidate,
and he's trying to figure out who that one candidate is.
Everybody else to drop out and have one candidate taken
on Zora and Mom Donnie for a better chance to
(05:45):
beat him. He has had conversations, according to The New
York Times, with Mark Penn, who I play sound from
Mark Penn on this show a lot of times. He
was a pollster who worked for Bill and Hillary Clinton.
He also talked with Andrew Stein, a former New York
City Council president who is a decade's long friend of
(06:05):
Donald Trump, and he's been looking at polling to decide
who would be the best candidate, and he's come up
with Andrew Cuomo and he has had converse. They haven't
always got along, Andrew Cuomo and Donald Trump, but according
to The New York Times, he's had conversations with Cuomo
about trying to broker a deal to get Eric Adams
(06:25):
out of the race. And I'm sure Donald Trump's going
to offer him a job to get him out of
the race. And I don't know what he's going to
do about Curtis Leewa, because Curtis Leba doesn't seem interested
in any of this. And we're going to I'll play
for you what he had to say about it in
a second. But the one thing that everybody can agree about. Oh,
by the way, Trump and Cuomo have both denied that
(06:47):
they made a phone call. The New York Times quotes
three sources, but both Cuomo and Trump. Cuomo put out
a statement he didn't talk, but he put out a
statement saying no, that that phone call never happened. But
he does agree that Zori Mamdani shouldn't be mayor of
New York. And he says a lot of people feel
(07:08):
the same way.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
Everyone is petrified about electing a socialist who's anti police,
who they feel will bankrupt New York City.
Speaker 7 (07:18):
Right.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
If you're anti business, what makes you think the businesses
are going to come here, let alone stay here. If
you're anti police, what makes me think that you're going
to make the city safer? If anything is going to
get more dangerous?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Right?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I think most sane people, including sane Democrats, agree, Zorin
Mamdani would be a disasters. He's the grand liar. He
promises the world everybody gets a car, everybody gets healthcare,
everybody gets free buses, everybody gets to go to a
grocery store where they charge you next to nothing because
(07:53):
they're run by the state with really absolutely no plan
to pay for it. I mean, he keeps saying is
going to raise taxes. He doesn't have that power, He
can't do it. So it's all a mirage. But this
New York Times article is maybe the best thing that
happened to Zorin Mam Donnie, and he knows it.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Whatever Donald Trump seeks to do to influence the outcome
of this election. I have more faith in New Yorkers themselves.
What they want is someone who can stand up to
an authoritarian administration and to the billionaires that gave us
that administration.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
The reason Eric Adams is doing so poorly in the
polls is because of his affiliation with Donald Trump. The
last thing Cuomo wants right now is an affiliation with
Donald Trump, because in this city, unlike the rest of
the country, in this city, Donald Trump is not somebody
you want to have advertised as being a partner.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
This is a great opportunity for Momdonni to use the
President as a boogeyman, or in Albatroz, to put around
the neck of former Governor Cuomo.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
That's our good friend J. C. Poloncle. Probably the best
advice yesterday when this story first broke, came from the
Republican candidate Curtis Slee with.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
There's no doubt he talks often with Eric Adams, he
talks often with Cuomo, who he's known that families have
known one another.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
He doesn't talk to me.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
So I've advised the president publicly be like Switzerland, stay
out of this race.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
That's the best advice. Let these guys work it out now.
I'm sure he's going to come in here and wait.
Over the next few months, Eric Adams is going to
get offered a big job by the Trump administration and
maybe he'll leave. Maybe he'll leave and somebody else will
step in. But it is it is political poison in
New York City if you're a Democrat to have Donald
(09:48):
Trump fighting for you. And that's why the New York
Times put this out, and that's why Andrew Cuomo said,
what are you talking about? No, no, no, no, no,
I'd love to hear what you have to say about this.
You go to the iHeartRadio app and leave us a

Speaker 4 (11:18):
Well.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
After the shooting at Fort Stewart that wounded five American soldiers,
we are very proud to be joined by Lieutenant General
Richard Newton, former US Air Force Assistant Vice Chief of
Staff and News Nation senior National security contributor. Thank you
(11:38):
so much, sir for being with us today.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
Good morning, Larry. Delighted to be with you regardless of
the circumstances. But this is a tough story.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
It is a tough story, and it hit all of us.
As soon as you hear a story like this, you
run to the TV sets, you run to the radios
to hear more, and you're hoping, You're hoping for the best.
And I guessed we did get the best of the
could have happened in a situation like this, and that
nobody died. But I know how we all felt. I
don't know how people that served felt when they heard this,
(12:10):
because my guess is you must see this as a
real violation considering the fact you've been on these camps
and you've been with these men. Could you please explain
your first feelings when you heard about this story.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Well, my first thought harkened back immediately when I was
a senior general officer in the Pentagon. I was part
of the initial senior officer investigative review team that we
put together. As I mentioned, the Pentagon in November of
two thousand and nine, if you recall our listeners may
recall when Major Nadal Hassan, an Army major at the
(12:44):
time psychiatrists, killed thirteen fellow soldiers and wounded thirty at
Fort Hood in that early morning hours. And so my
first thought was concern for the soldiers at Fort Stewart
or fifteen thousand soldiers there by the way, in sixteen
thousand family members. And then once I heard and started
(13:08):
to hear just the initial reports come out, my first
thought in terms of what it was was likely an
insider attack, much like we saw with Hassan in terms
of a weapon firing on fellow soldiers and then being
subdued and apprehended almost immediately.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Exactly. The only good thing that came out of this,
and the only thing that should make people proud, is
that you had young men I'm assuming they're young men
that were there that were being shot at. There was
somebody with a gun, an active shooter, and instead of
running out of there or hiding or going for cover,
several of them went at the man and tackled him.
(13:48):
And if not for that, this could have been a
lot worse. Being someone that served, being someone that's led
these men. You must be so proud, I am.
Speaker 7 (13:57):
And you know we have two million men and women
in uniform and all volunteers, and in this case, and
also as we've demonstrated in a rock in Afghanistan, and
by the way, our men and women serving overseas a
and over one hundred and thirty five locations around the
world as we speak right now this morning, they run
to the sound of gunfire and this was a demonstration, however,
(14:20):
of not a combat situation, but still their training kicked
in and the fact that they were able to nearly
immediately subdue this army sergeant in what I'm going to
term and this is preliminary obviously, but an extreme case
of you know, work center violence in this case. But
(14:42):
the other aspect of this I want to underscore is
at Fort Stewart, and you would expect this at other installations.
I've been a major installation commander where I had a
lockdown situation, we immediately went into force protection condition delta,
which is what happened at Fort Stewart. But for the
army leadership as well as the chaining comand all the
way down to those soldiers who subdued this Army sergeant
(15:04):
in terms of the timing of this, in terms of
putting medical attention immediately on the scene for those five
wounded soldiers, for Fort Stewart to lock down the installation,
to protect other soldiers in the sixteen thousand family members there,
and to get those soldiers who are in critical condition.
Knowing that there when Army Hospital wasn't as a Level
(15:26):
four trauma center wasn't going to be provided the care
they needed, they were able to get those remaining critical soldiers.
I understand there's two of them to Savannah Memorial Hospital,
which is forty miles away, into a Level one trauma center.
I believe is going to also be something that will
(15:47):
be textbooked. But nonetheless, now the hard work begins. What happened,
how did it happen, Why did it happen, and how
can we prevent this from ever happening again.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Let's start with the gun, because you've talked about how
wonderful they were after the fact that I agree with
you one thousand percent enduring the shooting. But there must
have been a screw up somewhere before the shooting, because
he never should have had this personal gun on his person.
It's supposed to be locked away, isn't it.
Speaker 7 (16:15):
Absolute, Larry and first and foremost again as a major
installation commander in this case, it was Breeder General Lubis
who's the third Army or a third Infantry division commander
was on area yesterday. You know communicated, you know we
will go back and really understand what happened. But the
concern is is, indeed, how does an American soldier bring
(16:36):
his own personal handgun and fired on his fellow soldiers.
It's not just the gun itself, but the whole aspect
of why and how it led up to this. And
so you're right in this case you should not expect
or would even anticipate someone bringing their personal handgun to
use it on their fellow soldiers. But this is going
(17:00):
to be looking at rules and regulations, but protocols and
processes and so forth in terms of how handguns can
get into the hands of of those who in a
very very uh again very limited unique way want to
do harm against their fellow soldiers. But the fact is
that it was reportedly a nine nil personal handgun. How
(17:20):
it got to the work center is still to be determined.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Now apparently some a little bit of motive is coming
out in news reports that he had some disagreements with
people that he served with and he was a little
bit disgruntled that he wasn't moving up ranks quick enough.
Is are there processes on the in these in these campuses,
and you shouldn't go to campus, uh inside these facilities
(17:46):
that that pinpoints that that can deal with that before
it gets to this point.
Speaker 7 (17:52):
It absolutely all the services UH, United States Army, the
Marine Corps, the Air Force and Navy, and the Space
Force and so forth, that this is the responsibility of
the chaining manned as well as your fellow soldiers. In
this case. UH, it's almost like having lived in New
York City. You know, you know the terminology. If you
see something, say something. But if there's an indication of
say your fellow soldier, your your you know, men and
(18:13):
women are serving with that, there's our issues. If there
are hints of mental health issues for instance, if there's
things that in terms of off duty, UH, there are
issues with their behavior. In this case, it's reported that
Sergeant Rafford had been charged with a DUI back in
May UH and had not reported that to his chain
(18:34):
of command as he is required to do so UH,
and there could have been some some lingering aspects of
what was going on within the army unit and so forth.
He's a logistics sergeant and this is logistics unit supposedly
with UH with a third Infantry Division. Those things will
be looked at, but nonetheless you are in however, you know,
(18:56):
in the United States Army and the Air Force and
other services, you don't necessarily lean away from those you
serve with, you lean into. And the fact is is
that it's one team, one fight, and so forth. And
I have to think that his fellow soldiers really had
not perhaps even contemplat or even anticipated this type of violence.
(19:16):
And I want our listeners also, I'll close on this
point for this commentary. But this is very very unique situation,
and this is not something that we would anticipate that
is prevalent throughout the ranks at all. You know, we
recruit from the best and brightest that America has to offer,
but there's only about a twenty three percent of the
(19:37):
population between ages for men and women at eighteen to
twenty five. And we really try to make sure that
those that we recruit and we bring into the armed
forces that indeed, you know, meet all the ethical standards
and health and mental and so forth. But something happened
along the way. This sergeant has served in the Army
(19:57):
for about eight years or so, but something has had
to happen along the way that the Army will find out,
much like we did in the deep investigation thorough Investigation Congression.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Yeah, major, Yeah, I understand that. Thank you so much.
You've been great, Lieutenant General Richard Newton, you gave us
some insight into this. Former US Air Force Assistant Vice
chief of Staff and News Nation senior National security contributor.
Thank you, Sarah Hope to talk again.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
Good to be with you.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Oh about that Apple investment in America, And that's all
because of Donald Trump. All of it's because of Donald Trump.
He threatened to put twenty He's been using the tariffs
as a weapon. He threatened to put twenty five percent
tariffs on all Apple parts and iPhones if they didn't
(20:44):
build in America. And man did they respond.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
And I'm very proud to say that today we're committing
an additional one hundred billion to the United States, bringing
our total US investment to six hundred billion over the
next four years.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
That's Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, making the announcement.
With that, let's talk to rich DeMuro from rich On
Tech has heard Sunday nights from eight to eleven pm
on WOR. Rich is with us every Thursday at this time.
You can also follow him at rich on Tech on Instagram,
where you can ask him your own questions as well,
(21:22):
and you can ask him during his show from eight
to eleven on woor on Sunday nights. Rich what a
big day it was for Apple, for Donald Trump and
for America with that announcement at the White.
Speaker 9 (21:34):
House today, you know, because Apple had already pledged five
hundred billion dollars, so that was a good start, but
then they said we want more, and so now they're
pledging another one hundred billion dollars. It's all part of
an effort to bring more of Apple's supply chain to
the US. There's not going to be a scenario where
the iPhone is made in the US anytime soon. Tim
(21:57):
Cook said that himself in the Oval Office. But we
can make more of the parts of the iPhone here
in the US, and the final assembly can still be overseas.
And with that, that's a big part of this announcement.
A lot of the chips, a lot of the components,
and all of the glass moving forward on both the
iPhone and the Apple Watch will be made in Kentucky.
(22:18):
And if you watch the announcement, Tim Cook actually gave
Trump a gift made of glass and gold. The glass
from that high tech Kentucky glass plant, So, yeah, a
lot more of the iPhone going to be made here
in the US because of this.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
It reminded me back when Obama was first running for president.
He had a meeting with Steve Jobs and he said
to him, how do I get the manufacturing in China
to move here? And Steve Jobs looked him in the
eyes and said, it's never going to happen. It can happen. Well,
I guess it can happen.
Speaker 9 (22:51):
Yeah. Look, I think the Apple is so intertwined with
China with what they've built over the past twenty years,
so it is not an easy process to move all
of that to the US. But again, I think what
they're doing here is they're saying, look, we're gonna prioritize
the US in the way that we make these pieces
and components, and of course US jobs. Apple puts a
(23:13):
lot of people to work a lot, and so I
think by them pluging this money and prioritizing, you know,
if we can do things in the US, let's try
to do things here. That's a good start.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Yeah, being threatened with twenty five percent tariffs that helped
a little bit too, But they did the right thing
in the end. So everybody's happy. And I think everybody's
gonna be happy with the new Instagram too.
Speaker 9 (23:38):
Yeah. I think this is a huge feature, especially for creators,
anyone who's trying to increase their following. I mean there's
a couple of new features they're adding. First off, repost.
As soon as you open up Instagram the next time,
you're going to see a new icon underneath the stuff
that you're looking at. Typically you see, you know, a
comment icon, a share icon, and this is a new
(24:01):
repost icon. And basically, anytime you tap that, if you
like something, you're going to send that content to your
friends' feeds. They're not guaranteed to see it, but it's
almost like making a post of your own. So for
people that are creating content on Instagram, this can really
amplify their reach, which I think a lot of them
will like. Now, the thing that's really interesting that they're
(24:22):
doing for the average person is this new Instagram map.
And I don't think everyone's going to like this. I
think younger people are going to take to it quicker
than maybe some of the older folks. But here's what
it does. It puts you on a map, so every
time you open up the Instagram app. Your location will
be shared to this map, where you can now see
where all of your friends are in one place. This
(24:44):
is opt in, which means Instagram smartly is not turning
it on by default, but if you tag your location
in a post or a story, you will show up
on that map, so just be aware of it. I
think it's pretty cool. I understand that not everyone wants
to see or no wants their friends to know where
they are at all times.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
My kids love that. They do it on Snapchat all
the time. They're always looking to see what friends are
around them. So I think this is mostly for young
adults and teenagers because they love that. But it sounds
like they're just taking the things that worked on some
other apps and integrating it into their system. Is that right.
Speaker 9 (25:26):
I think we've seen that over the years, larry over
and over with Instagram. I mean, you know, it's become
very very popular in spite of the fact that they've
pretty much borrowed quote unquote all of their most popular
features from every other app out there, whether it's Twitter
with the reposts, whether it's TikTok with the reels, whether
it is Snapchat with the maps. Now and also the stories.
(25:47):
But you're right. Young people love that feature on Snapchat
and it creates a lot of fomo and I love
that feature too, even though I'm older. But I love
the idea of landing in a city for a story
that I'm shooting or whatever and being like, oh, wow,
there's five of my friends in this city that are around,
let me call them up. I mean, there are benefits
to that idea of connecting with people that you're online with.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Everywhere I go with my son, who's eighteen, he looks
at Snapchat to see if there's any friends nearby so
he can leave me and go hang out with his friends.
Speaker 9 (26:21):
Sad for that, but it is cool. I mean, it's
the beauty of the world, connect with the people around
you that you already know. It's kind of neat, but
that's not everyone's gonna use it.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
I'm a little surprised by this next story because I
thought Disney Plus and Hulu were always together because when
I bought my original subscription to Disney Plus, I got
Hulu with it. You got one price to get them both.
But now there's a bigger merger going on.
Speaker 9 (26:46):
Yeah, so over the years, you know, Hulu and Disney
were separate companies. Disney had an interest and investment in them,
but they bought it out over the past couple of years,
so they completely own Hulu at this point. But what
they're gonna do is phase out the Hulu standalone app.
So they've been integrating the content into the Disney app
over the past couple of years. But it's been kind
(27:07):
of frustrating for users because you click something and it's like, oh, sorry,
you're not subscribed to Hulu, so you're still gonna have
to subscribe separately to Hulu, or like you said, you
might have a bundle that includes all of these things.
But the idea is that Disney is going to have
one mega app with all of their content eventually in
this same app, including Hulu, including Disney Plus, including Fubo,
(27:31):
which they've recently purchased as well, so that's live TV.
So the idea is that you can get everything all
in one place. You only have to open up one app.
You will have to subscribe to the services separately, but
a lot of people do the bundle, like you said,
and this is all to help them compete better with
something like a Netflix, because guess what once Hulu's merged
with Disney Plus. Now they can report those subscriber numbers
(27:53):
as one and say, look, we've got three hundred million
people using our app versus Netflix two hundred million, whatever
they've got.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
I'll tell you what. I have two sons in college
right now, and I love how colleges have started to
accept artificial intelligence more and more. And I also love
what Google's doing. Explain.
Speaker 9 (28:13):
Yeah, Google is giving AI for free to college students.
So basically, if you're in college, you can get Google's
most advanced AI, which is Gemini. You can get that
for free, and so all you have to do is
claim this by October sixth. The idea is that you know,
they want college students using this because they are the future,
(28:34):
and you're going to get access to everything that they've got,
including their Gemini for homework help and research notebook LM,
which we've talked about. It's a really cool AI notebook,
video creation coding assistant. Plus two terabytes of Google storage,
which is also really great for storing all that stuff
in the cloud. So again, this is you know, war
(28:54):
against chat GPT because they know that a lot of
people are using that. They want college students to use Gemini,
giving him twelve months for free if you claim it
by October six.
