Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, shall love it when a story completely turns around
(00:06):
and embarrasses the Democratic Party. That's how I'm starting off
the Big Three. Good morning and it is a great morning. Well, well, well, well, well,
after all of the huffing and puffing in the talk
of court martials and scandals, a source, actually several sources
tell ABC's Martha Raddits that the strike on the Venezuelan
(00:29):
Narco terrorist boats were legal.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
According to a source familiar with the incident, the two
survivors climbed back onto the boat after the initial strike.
They were believed to be potentially in communication with others
and salvaging some of the drugs. Because of that, it
was determined they were still in the fight and valid targets.
A JAG officer was also giving legal advice.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
The JAG officer being right there is a hugely important detail.
That means the legal department was there and they signed
off on a strike because the people that were out
of the boat were now back in the boat communicating
and trying to save the drugs. I love when stories
(01:15):
turn out like this. It happened so much, doesn't it.
Amelia lewis an NYU student who was assaulted while walking
down the street in broad daylight in Manhattan in Lower Manhattan,
gets justice and becomes an anti crime advocate after getting
a very bad man off the streets.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah, like, just be aware when you're walking like anywhere
right now in New York because, like you, like, I
never thought this was gonna happen to me, just because
I was like, I've seen the stories and I was like, oh,
that's so scary, but like having it actually happen now,
it's like, oh my god, Like you need to be
aware at all times.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
That was her. She ran to social media right afterwards,
and it was the power of social media, was the
power of friends, and it was girl power that brought
down this guy and finally put him in jail. We'll
have more details on that in just a couple of minutes.
It was another young NYU student, by the way, who
was also assaulted, who helped her the simalion. You'll hear
(02:17):
from her too, coming up in a couple of minutes.
The Somalian fraud scandal in Minnesota will now be investigated
by the Justice Department and may end up now being
a two billion dollars scandal.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
What we know is the state employees in Minnesota rang
the bell, They blew the whistle that there was massive fraud,
and yet Tim Waltz and Keith Ellison, the Attorney General,
apparently turned a blind aye to that for fear of
political retaliation from the large voting block of Somali's.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, and isn't it amazing? The media was all over
the Narco terrorist boat story because they thought they had
Donald Trump this story. They they're finally covering it now,
but completely ignored it for days. The House of Terror
in Samford, Connecticut, when police showed up to take possession
(03:11):
because no one paid the mortgage, a man inside opened fire.
After an hour long standoff, police sent a drone inside
the home for the residents out there, you know that
we serve you first. We have no political books. And
what they found was explosives in there, explosives all over
(03:31):
the house. When they finally entered the home because nobody
was shooting. After a while, they found two bodies. The
gunman shot himself and there was a body hidden that
had been decomposing for some time.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Well.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
The new mayor of Jersey City, James Solomon, apparently as
good friends with the new mayor of Hoboke and Emily Jabour,
both progressive Democrats who were not part of the party establishment.
For the residents out there, you know that we serve
you first. We have no political boss that we answer to.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Well, for me, I got involved in local politics as
a mom who cared about her community.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
James is a dad.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You know.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
I think we just are average, you know, residents who
want to do more and give back.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
A ninety million dollar Mega Million's ticket was sold in
Union City, New Jersey. What is it about New Jersey?
They seem to have an inordinate amount of lottery winners.
Speaker 8 (04:27):
Every time I meet lottery directors from other states, they
say the biggest complaint that they hear is how come
only people in California and New Jersey win Powerball are
Mega millions. There's an awful lot of people in California
buying Powerball at Mega millions tickets, and there's an awful
lot of lucky people in the state of New Jersey
that are buying Powerball and Mega millions tickets.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Well, it's now officially the Christmas season. The Rockefeller Center
Christmas Tree has been lit.
Speaker 7 (04:56):
Wo wow, man, that was it? Come on, it was beautiful.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I love all the more of the crowd. Did you
hear the crowd?
Speaker 6 (05:17):
They're like, it's ten o'clock and I'm exhausted.
Speaker 7 (05:21):
I want to go home.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
That was the funniest thing, just the yelling and then
all of a sudden, that's it, right, It is beautiful.
I was.
Speaker 6 (05:31):
I can't wait to go walk by it today because
it really looks gorgeous.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
It is gorgeous, but you know you have to be
there to sit there. Oh yeahday and have to wait
through all of this act and all the stuff and
stand in the cold, and then it's like ten seconds,
not even five seconds. They did a five second home
and then you get to go home. Hey, this story
about Amelia Lewis is just heartwarming. It's scary, but it's
(05:59):
also heartwarming. Amelia Lewis, if you haven't seen the video,
and we should definitely post that video is it is incredible.
She's just walking down the street Lower Manhattan by NYU.
She's an NYU student, and a homeless guy that we
find out has been arrested several times and for sexual
(06:19):
assault runs up behind her. You see her on the
surveillance video running up behind her, smacks her across the
back very hard, then grabs her hair and throws her
down on the ground and then runs off. And so
she of course ran right away to social media, and
you heard her a second ago in the Big Three crying,
(06:42):
you know, just telling everybody else be careful.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Yeah, like just be aware when you're walking, like anywhere
right now in New York because, like you, like, I
never thought this was gonna happen to me, just because
I was like, I've seen the stories and I was like, oh,
that's so scary, but like having it actually happen now,
it's like, oh my, like you need to be aware
at all times.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
She was really upset. And the amazing thing is the
social media post that she made, and apparently she's very
big on x and on TikTok and on Instagram, and
all of these women, all these young girls then wrote
and said the same thing happened to me, and apparently
(07:25):
this isn't that unusual. This type of stuff happens throughout
the city all of the time. And by the way,
after it happened, she also texted her friend the last
name is Armstrong. I don't have the first name right now.
I'll get it in a second, but texted her friend
and the same exact thing happened to her friend, and
(07:48):
now they never caught the guy, but she remembers how
important surveillance video was. So she went and got her
friend and they went to all the stores in the
area and got the surveill video to tell the police.
Speaker 9 (08:02):
Right when I got Amelia's text, I was in class
and I got a horrible, sinking, gut feeling because this
has also happened to me, and I was lucky enough
to have footage in my case. Unfortunately, my assailant was
not caught. But I knew that footage is key in
this and I knew that it was in front of stores.
(08:23):
And so my first thought was, we need to get
this footage and we need to catch this guy.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
No, it's just incredible. So her name is Summer Armstrong.
By the way, she's a hero. Summer Armstrong. The thing
that I liked the most about this story, by the way,
because of them, they caught this guy, James Armstrong, who
was arrested shortly afterwards. Apparently everybody knows about him. Apparently
he was squatting in the housing of NYU. He was
(08:52):
in there in NYU housing, stealing stuff from other rooms
and then praying on these I mean or assaulting, I
should say, these girls. But he was arrested and the
reporters were there.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
James, help us understand.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Why do you keep attacking women?
Speaker 10 (09:09):
What were you doing in fro that apartment?
Speaker 5 (09:12):
What's wrong with you? James?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
James?
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Anything you had? Set of your victims?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Thirty five years old. He's going to be off the
streets now for a long time. He just got out
of jail for sexual assault. He he served two years.
But the reason I'm pushing this story is because what
about these girls, all women, I should say, all getting together,
all joining together to get this guy.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
You know what.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
I was really happy to see, although it's scary. Right
after it happened, there were a lot of other young
women walking to class, you know, so we're looking at
nineteen year old, and they all came to her aid.
Instead of fleeing thinking where because you didn't know where
the guy went, so you know, he could have been
still around trying to attack them. They all came up
(09:59):
to her. They got her off the ground, and they
didn't run away, and they didn't turn away.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
And it's a man that's being hailed as a real
hero because he came up to her lifted her off
the ground and then gave her the cell phone said
you should call nine one one right now, which she
wouldn't have done, she says. She said, I would not
have done that, but she called nine to one one
immediately and they got this guy. But have you heard
of this? I mean, please leave a talkback, because I'd
(10:25):
never heard of this before. Apparently it's happening on the
streets of Manhattan all the time and it's incredible and
especially in that area. Just leave us a talkback. Big
changes down Under Australia says, no more social media for
anyone under sixteen. Find out what happens that the platforms
don't play by the rules. Next, when I need a
(10:48):
radio with the best reception and audio, you know where
I go by now right, you've heard me enough. You
turned to Sea Crane Seacrane Radio. Place an order with
them this week for a Seacrane radio. Any of the models,
the Solar Power one, the Internet one, any of their models.
They're all incredible. And listen to this. You get ten
(11:10):
percent off your order. You heard that, ten percent off
your entire order. Now it's Christmas time and for that
someone special. The CC Radio three makes the perfect gift.
It has great reception for long range AMFM stations along
with emergency capabilities. And that's what I think is the
most important thing, not only the incredible audio quality, but
(11:33):
the fact that you have a radio when the worst happens.
During Superstorm Sandy, these were essential. They were giving them
out during the fires in Los Angeles. It has THEAA,
the Noah Weather and the two meter handband on it too.
And as I said, the quality for talk radio is incredible.
(11:56):
It's like you're right there. You can separate base and
treble that has controls there and so you get all
of this. It is the best radio you could possibly have.
And then this week you get ten percent off your
entire order by calling Seacrane at eight hundred five two
two eight eight six three. Once again, that's eight hundred
five two two eight eight six three. Or you can
(12:19):
visit Sacrane online at sacrane dot com. That's c C
R A n E dot com. Oh again, this is
a fascinating story. I want to get right to Michael Safracone.
He ran for US Senate. You'll remember in New York.
He's a retired NYPD first grade detective and he is
a security expert, and he's raising the alarm about some
(12:42):
people that are still on the streets of New York
City and across New York that ICE should be after,
but the state is protecting them from ICE, and he's
saying they state should never protect them. They should be
working with ICE to get these people off the street. Michael,
thank you so much for joining us. Tell us about
(13:03):
these seven thousand.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Menaces morning, Larry, great to be here. I mean, when
we talk about sanctuary policies, we're tying the police's hands.
How I don't understand how it's not common sense that
we work together with ICE in the federal government to
take illegal immigrants off of our streets and not just
let's not talk, let's talk about the safety. If we
(13:27):
have no public safety, we have no city, we have
no state, we have no country. Right, it is so
important that we take these criminals people. Seven thousand people
released in the last year, I think twenty nine wanted
for homicide, thousands wanted for sexual abuse, their predators, and
we as a state release them without notifying the proper
(13:51):
authorities in the federal government, even when there's mandated detainers
on these on these immigration for violators and these criminals.
I don't understand where the common sense comes. We should
take politics out of this, and you know I'm a politician, Larry, Okay. Yeah,
it doesn't matter what side of the aisle you're on.
(14:12):
This is common sense as Americans. You know, we can
talk about affordability, housing, blah blah blah. Those are all
things that can be worked out. But the thing that
has to be done for Americans we have to feel safe.
We have to protect our families. We have to be
able to at a four twenty year old girl going
to school the other day gets assaulted by somebody and
(14:33):
it wasn't it wasn't an immigrant, but still he was
somebody who was released from prison. Where are we going?
What kind of society are we living in that we
think that we can just release people for no reasons
and put them back on the street.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Yeah, you're talking about two different You're talking about two
different things here, and I want to make sure that
we keep linking them because it's important to link them together.
You're talking about sanctuary cities and then the casualist bail,
the bail reform. With the two of those things together, I.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Agree they have to be linked and I'm going to
throw another thing at you too. Here, we had in
the last eight years over forty three cop killers released
by the New York State Parole boar board. Forty three
in New York State alone. People think that's the number
in the country. Forty three in New York State. These
things are all linked together. Sanctuary city, the bail reform,
(15:24):
and when he cop killers out on parole. We've got
to start getting back to common sense and just thinking basically,
how do we protect our society from predators and what
do we do to keep people safe.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Let me get back to the seven thousand for a second.
So the state and the city and law enforcement, everybody
knows who they are, but they can't tell ICE. They
have to protect them by state law.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
That's by the sanctuary city war. Yes, the century state war,
which is ridiculous, which needs to be changed. Now. I
don't even know if sanctuary cities and sanctuary states are
technically legal. Okay, that's something that's being the bet also.
So they just refused and I just said, read something
this morning about the Department of Investigation looking at the
MOYPD for officers who may have weaked information to ICE. Okay,
(16:13):
and how the city council is up in arms about
that happening, and what a terrible thing that is. How
can we say what a terrible thing it is when
twenty nine murderers have been released, three thousand assault three
thousand people have assaulted people, maybe two thousand people have
sexually abused people. How can we say what a terrible
(16:33):
thing that that information was given to the federal government.
And they're not asking federal government's not asking for the
NYPD or local authorities to go out and capture these guys.
They're saying, these are people that are in custody already.
All we want now is to be able to take
them from custody, right, put them where they've worn. That's
all they're asking for, right, I'm.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Saying, yeah, And this is exactly what the borders are
says all the time. Let us in the Rakers Island.
Just let us the Raker's Island because it's much safer.
We go into the community and we might have a shootout.
Let us go in and get them rikers and rikers,
no fuss, no.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Mess, right, And that's It's about the safety of this
law enforcement people too, of course, the safety of our citizens.
But law enforcement people are our citizens also, and they're
putting their lives at risk by not having these people
handed over them. Now they have to go hunt them
on the streets. Okay, And Holman says this all the time.
This is simple stuff, this is common sense. They're in
(17:28):
prison already, before they get released, we have a detainer
on them. We want to come in and pick them up.
And you know, in all other situations, the federal government
and the local governments work hand in hand with this.
I remember many times getting tipped off on somebody being
released at court that day and going to court and
waiting outside the courtroom and then locking that person up
for a crime that I had him for. Okay, And
(17:49):
it's simple, it's basic, and it's safe, and.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
It keeps us safe.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Right.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I want to get back there, and I want to
I want to let you know there's a reason I
phrased that the way I did about the seven thousand,
because I I think keeping when we talk about sanctuary cities,
we sanitize the whole thing. That's a term that the
Democrats came up with. That's a term that makes it
sound safe. It's not safe. So what we're really doing
and That's that's why I phrase it the way I did.
(18:14):
We're protecting seven thousand violent criminals. The state and the
city is protecting seven thousand violent criminals.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
You're one hundred percent correct. And you know it's criminal
the criminal justice system. I learned many many years ago.
It's justice to the criminal, okay. And that's exactly what's
going on here. It's not justice for us, the people,
the public, the working class people. It's justice for the
bad guys, okay. And that's ridiculous. It's and you were right.
(18:43):
The Democrats frame it as a sanctuary city. Is a
safe haven? Safe haven for who? Safe haven for the criminals,
for the criminals. Why do we care so much about
the criminals and not care about the twenty year old
girl walking down the street at nine thirty in the
morning just to go to class. I tell you, I'm
very proud of that young lady. She came out with
a video and pretty much smoke her mind about how
(19:05):
this is ridiculous. You know, we just elected a mayor
and I'm not going to get into the politics of this,
but this is a person who has no experience and
is going to be thrown into a war here in
New York City of what's going on, and he's got
to come up with a way to protect people and
still engage these young people who elected him. And this
(19:26):
is a perfect example. This young lady. I don't know
if she's lived in New York City or she voted
for him or whatever, but she's upset. And there's many
more people like that in her age group that are
going to be upset. And he's got to find a
way to make this city a safe place so that
these people can live here and earn a living and
go to school.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Yeah. I'm not sure she voted for mom, Donnie, because
I don't know if you heard that whole social media post,
but she says, we have to be more care forrol
of the people that we elect.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
He did, You're right, You're right. I don't know if
she lives in the city or doesn't, but but just
the point, we have the right to go to school,
we have the right to go to a store. These
are our given rights. This is what we need to
protect our citizens. And I'll say it a million times.
If we don't have public safety, what do we have.
We don't have a city, we don't have a state,
(20:15):
we have a country. You know, I remember years ago
in my security company and when we would get hired
to take care of watch a building or watch an
office or something, I would always say, you know, your
most important element of your business is your employees. And
the owners would say, you're right. If we don't protect
and make those employees feel safe, you're not going to
have a business.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Wee thousand percent agree, Michael. We have a thousand percent agree,
and it's great. We have to have you back on
to talk about this again. Thanks so much, Thanks so
much for bringing to to our attention. Michael Zafracone ran
for US Senate New York, retired NYPD first grade detective
and security expert. Thanks again, Michael, talk to again soon.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Thanks Claire.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Well, it's Christmas time and everybody has high tech on
their list, so let's check in with Santa himself. Rich
Demiro rich on Tech has heard Sunday nights from eight
to eleven pm on WR. Rich is with us every
Thursday at this time. You can also follow him at
rich on Tech on Instagram. So, uh, good morning till
(21:17):
you're rich thanks for being with us as always. So
it sounds like the big bing go ho ho, the
big news of the week, and just in time for Christmas,
comes from Samsung.
Speaker 10 (21:28):
Huh yeah. I mean, look, I think in the US
we haven't really warmed up to foldable phones yet. You
know the one that just folds in half. Now, Samsung
is doing a trifold. That's right, it's called the Samsung
Z trifold. You've got basically three screens side by side
that fold up like a Z but they unfold to
(21:49):
a ten inch display. We're talking, you know, that's a
mini iPad in your pocket.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
Right.
Speaker 10 (21:53):
So this is already launching in South Korea next week,
and then in the US it's gonna be the first
quarter of twenty twenty six. Price probably expecting around twenty
five hundred dollars. We'll see. This is probably gonna be
a very limited availability and a very limited audience that
actually wants something like this. And you sound skeptical, Well,
I've tried foldable phones. I think they're great if you
(22:16):
are a traveler or a business person. I personally just
don't really have a need for it, but I think
that people who have them that I know, they absolutely
love them. So there is a market for it. It's
just very small, and Apple has not done this. Yet
once they do it, that market will grow.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Talking about growing, it's amazing what Amazon has grown into.
Everybody seems to be shopping on Amazon, and everybody's looking
for the best prices. You've been grad at telling us
some of the ways they can find the best prices.
If somebody is going down right now the shop for
Christmas on Amazon, what do you suggest walk us through it?
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Okay?
Speaker 10 (22:53):
Number one. Amazon has added a price history link near
most of the pricing on their website, so look for that.
Most people miss it. You tap that, it will bring
up a chart of the past thirty or ninety days
of the price of that product. That way you can
tell if the current price is lower than average, or
it's the same as average, or if it's a deal.
(23:14):
So that's number one. If you don't see that, They've
got this AI assistant called rufus, which is actually really
good about telling you information about Amazon products. So look
for that link and you can type in price history.
It will give you the price history. You can ask
questions about the product, and you can even set it
to auto purchase the product at a price that you want,
(23:35):
or you can even have it alert you to a
price to a price drop. So if you want something
for twenty dollars versus twenty five, you could set that
price drop. You have to do that in the mobile app.
The other two things I like Camelcamelcamel dot com I know,
silly name, but helpful website. You can paste an Amazon
link in there. It will give you the full price history.
And then if you want to see all the price
(23:56):
history like way too much, I'm telling you, Larry called KIPA.
You can install that on your browser and on every
Amazon page. It will show you, I'm not kidding, more
stuff than you need to know about pricing history. It's
all there on your page.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
So not worth the price, is what you're saying.
Speaker 10 (24:13):
No, it's free, but it's you know, it's just that's
for like real shopping nerds. Like we were shooting a
story yesterday about this product in my photographer goes, that's
for like real shopping nerds. Tom.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I'm like, yes, and that's what I am.
Speaker 10 (24:25):
That's why I have it.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
On that Oh so you like it. It's for you,
but you're saying it's not for everybody. I get it.
I will tell you this.
Speaker 10 (24:31):
You have to be prepared for what you're going to
see there's a lot.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
You've talked about camel Camel cammell before, and now I've
heard about Camel Camel, Camel, Camel, Cammell from three different
people who are not tech people. This is becoming extremely popular.
Speaker 10 (24:45):
Explain why, Well, the thing is it tells you. You know,
on Amazon, there's a lot of pressure because they are
the smartest retailer in the room right now, so they
know how to make us press by and they know.
I always joke to my wife, my paycheck should go
directly to a Amazon and they give me the rest
and they've done with it, because that's what's happening at
this point. So Amazon knows how to get us to
(25:07):
spend money. I think having that price history and that
perspective on the pricing kind of relieve some of that
pressure to buy now. And I get it, it's shopping.
It's holiday season. We're looking for those gifts, so we
want to buy things. But just know that if something
is not a deal, you can kind of push it
off a little bit until it does become a deal.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Can we trust the deals online in promo codes?
Speaker 10 (25:32):
I think so, And again I think it all comes
down to perspective and that's why I've got websites that
I like. So if you're looking for Apple products, I
know you like your Apple products, Larry two websites that
I really love. The first is called the mac Rumors
Buyer's Guide. This lists every single Apple product and tells
you if you should buy it now or if you
should wait because a new version might come out, or
(25:53):
if you're looking for a deal because it's new, you
may not want to get that. You might want to
get the older model because you can see you have
a bunch of money. Now when it comes to actually
buying those products, there's a website called appleinsider dot com.
They have price guides. Any products that you want from Apple,
you can go to their price guide and it looks
at the prices across the Apple Store, which does not
(26:15):
discount them, but Amazon BNH best Buy. So right now,
if you're buying the one hundred and twenty eight gigabyte
M three iPad air, that's six hundred dollars at the
Apple Store, five point fifty at BNH, five hundred at Amazon,
you could save yourself one hundred dollars just by doing
a little research.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Let's get to your gadget of the week. What have
you got for Christmas?
Speaker 10 (26:38):
Uh, I've got something fun. This is a magical telephone.
So this telephone is you connect it to Wi Fi
and it looks like a rotary phone and it's from
a company called mister Christmas dot Com. And basically your
child picks up the phone and they are instantly connected
to the Big Man himself. Wow and a clause and
(26:59):
they can at with Santa. My kids had a field
day with this after they figured out what a rotary
phone was. That so parents will enjoy that. But the
Santa that you talk to is very incredible. It can
ask you about the gifts you want. It knows everything,
and it's all because of something called AI. It's helping
(27:21):
Santa become the magic that we know and love. So
that's one hundred dollars. It's sold everywhere now and it's
just a fun way to interact with Santa this year.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
That's a great idea. Real quick, let's talk about your
ultimate holiday shopping cheat sheet? Where can people find that?
Speaker 10 (27:38):
Yes, you can find it at rich on tech dot tv.
Sign up for my newsletter. It is all there. And
I got to tell you one more before we go. Sure,
my absolute favorite place to look for those coupon codes
you were talking about. I only check one website, simplycodes

Speaker 1 (28:08):
That's great, Simply codes dot com. Thanks rich rich Damira
rich On Tech has heard Sunday nights from eight to
eleven on WOR. He'll be back with this Thursday. At
this time when we come back, my final thoughts, a
recap of today's show and the talk back of the morning,
and look at I got to talk more about the
Sea Crane Radio. When you want a radio that has
the best reception and the best audio, especially for the
(28:32):
spoken word, I turn on the Sea Crane Radio and
you need to get one or give it to someone
that loves radio. And it's extremely important in an emergency
to have reliable communication and to be connected with the radio.
A lot of reasons to get one for Christmas. Place
(28:52):
an order with them this week and you receive ten
percent off your order. You heard that right, ten percent
off your entire order for that's someone special. The c
Crane Radio makes the perfect gift. It has great reception
long range AFM stations along with and I say this
all the time because it's extremely important in an emergency.
(29:14):
It has capabilities like Noah Weather and a two meter hamdband.
And I've just told you if you listen primarily for
voice content, CC Radio three is the best this week.
Only Get ten percent off your entire order by calling
c Crane at eight hundred five two two eight eight
sixty three. Once again, this is important eight hundred five
(29:37):
two two eight eight six three. Or you can see
them online and look at all their products at ccrane
dot com. That's c c R A n e dot com,
Spring Perfume on dirty laundry.
Speaker 10 (29:50):
It just doesn't solve the problem.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
This is where
Well, shall love it when a story completely turns around
(00:06):
and embarrasses the Democratic Party. That's how I'm starting off
the Big Three. Good morning and it is a great morning. Well, well, well, well, well,
after all of the huffing and puffing in the talk
of court martials and scandals, a source, actually several sources
tell ABC's Martha Raddits that the strike on the Venezuelan
(00:29):
Narco terrorist boats were legal.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
According to a source familiar with the incident, the two
survivors climbed back onto the boat after the initial strike.
They were believed to be potentially in communication with others
and salvaging some of the drugs. Because of that, it
was determined they were still in the fight and valid targets.
A JAG officer was also giving legal advice.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
The JAG officer being right there is a hugely important detail.
That means the legal department was there and they signed
off on a strike because the people that were out
of the boat were now back in the boat communicating
and trying to save the drugs. I love when stories
(01:15):
turn out like this. It happened so much, doesn't it.
Amelia lewis an NYU student who was assaulted while walking
down the street in broad daylight in Manhattan in Lower Manhattan,
gets justice and becomes an anti crime advocate after getting
a very bad man off the streets.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah, like, just be aware when you're walking like anywhere
right now in New York because, like you, like, I
never thought this was gonna happen to me, just because
I was like, I've seen the stories and I was like, oh,
that's so scary, but like having it actually happen now,
it's like, oh my god, Like you need to be
aware at all times.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
That was her. She ran to social media right afterwards,
and it was the power of social media, was the
power of friends, and it was girl power that brought
down this guy and finally put him in jail. We'll
have more details on that in just a couple of minutes.
It was another young NYU student, by the way, who
was also assaulted, who helped her the simalion. You'll hear
(02:17):
from her too, coming up in a couple of minutes.
The Somalian fraud scandal in Minnesota will now be investigated
by the Justice Department and may end up now being
a two billion dollars scandal.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
What we know is the state employees in Minnesota rang
the bell, They blew the whistle that there was massive fraud,
and yet Tim Waltz and Keith Ellison, the Attorney General,
apparently turned a blind aye to that for fear of
political retaliation from the large voting block of Somali's.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, and isn't it amazing? The media was all over
the Narco terrorist boat story because they thought they had
Donald Trump this story. They they're finally covering it now,
but completely ignored it for days. The House of Terror
in Samford, Connecticut, when police showed up to take possession
(03:11):
because no one paid the mortgage, a man inside opened fire.
After an hour long standoff, police sent a drone inside
the home for the residents out there, you know that
we serve you first. We have no political books. And
what they found was explosives in there, explosives all over
(03:31):
the house. When they finally entered the home because nobody
was shooting. After a while, they found two bodies. The
gunman shot himself and there was a body hidden that
had been decomposing for some time.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Well.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
The new mayor of Jersey City, James Solomon, apparently as
good friends with the new mayor of Hoboke and Emily Jabour,
both progressive Democrats who were not part of the party establishment.
For the residents out there, you know that we serve
you first. We have no political boss that we answer to.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Well, for me, I got involved in local politics as
a mom who cared about her community.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
James is a dad.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You know.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
I think we just are average, you know, residents who
want to do more and give back.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
A ninety million dollar Mega Million's ticket was sold in
Union City, New Jersey. What is it about New Jersey?
They seem to have an inordinate amount of lottery winners.
Speaker 8 (04:27):
Every time I meet lottery directors from other states, they
say the biggest complaint that they hear is how come
only people in California and New Jersey win Powerball are
Mega millions. There's an awful lot of people in California
buying Powerball at Mega millions tickets, and there's an awful
lot of lucky people in the state of New Jersey
that are buying Powerball and Mega millions tickets.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Well, it's now officially the Christmas season. The Rockefeller Center
Christmas Tree has been lit.
Speaker 7 (04:56):
Wo wow, man, that was it? Come on, it was beautiful.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I love all the more of the crowd. Did you
hear the crowd?
Speaker 6 (05:17):
They're like, it's ten o'clock and I'm exhausted.
Speaker 7 (05:21):
I want to go home.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
That was the funniest thing, just the yelling and then
all of a sudden, that's it, right, It is beautiful.
I was.
Speaker 6 (05:31):
I can't wait to go walk by it today because
it really looks gorgeous.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
It is gorgeous, but you know you have to be
there to sit there. Oh yeahday and have to wait
through all of this act and all the stuff and
stand in the cold, and then it's like ten seconds,
not even five seconds. They did a five second home
and then you get to go home. Hey, this story
about Amelia Lewis is just heartwarming. It's scary, but it's
(05:59):
also heartwarming. Amelia Lewis, if you haven't seen the video,
and we should definitely post that video is it is incredible.
She's just walking down the street Lower Manhattan by NYU.
She's an NYU student, and a homeless guy that we
find out has been arrested several times and for sexual
(06:19):
assault runs up behind her. You see her on the
surveillance video running up behind her, smacks her across the
back very hard, then grabs her hair and throws her
down on the ground and then runs off. And so
she of course ran right away to social media, and
you heard her a second ago in the Big Three crying,
(06:42):
you know, just telling everybody else be careful.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Yeah, like just be aware when you're walking, like anywhere
right now in New York because, like you, like, I
never thought this was gonna happen to me, just because
I was like, I've seen the stories and I was like, oh,
that's so scary, but like having it actually happen now,
it's like, oh my, like you need to be aware
at all times.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
She was really upset. And the amazing thing is the
social media post that she made, and apparently she's very
big on x and on TikTok and on Instagram, and
all of these women, all these young girls then wrote
and said the same thing happened to me, and apparently
(07:25):
this isn't that unusual. This type of stuff happens throughout
the city all of the time. And by the way,
after it happened, she also texted her friend the last
name is Armstrong. I don't have the first name right now.
I'll get it in a second, but texted her friend
and the same exact thing happened to her friend, and
(07:48):
now they never caught the guy, but she remembers how
important surveillance video was. So she went and got her
friend and they went to all the stores in the
area and got the surveill video to tell the police.
Speaker 9 (08:02):
Right when I got Amelia's text, I was in class
and I got a horrible, sinking, gut feeling because this
has also happened to me, and I was lucky enough
to have footage in my case. Unfortunately, my assailant was
not caught. But I knew that footage is key in
this and I knew that it was in front of stores.
(08:23):
And so my first thought was, we need to get
this footage and we need to catch this guy.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
No, it's just incredible. So her name is Summer Armstrong.
By the way, she's a hero. Summer Armstrong. The thing
that I liked the most about this story, by the way,
because of them, they caught this guy, James Armstrong, who
was arrested shortly afterwards. Apparently everybody knows about him. Apparently
he was squatting in the housing of NYU. He was
(08:52):
in there in NYU housing, stealing stuff from other rooms
and then praying on these I mean or assaulting, I
should say, these girls. But he was arrested and the
reporters were there.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
James, help us understand.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Why do you keep attacking women?
Speaker 10 (09:09):
What were you doing in fro that apartment?
Speaker 5 (09:12):
What's wrong with you? James?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
James?
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Anything you had? Set of your victims?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Thirty five years old. He's going to be off the
streets now for a long time. He just got out
of jail for sexual assault. He he served two years.
But the reason I'm pushing this story is because what
about these girls, all women, I should say, all getting together,
all joining together to get this guy.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
You know what.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
I was really happy to see, although it's scary. Right
after it happened, there were a lot of other young
women walking to class, you know, so we're looking at
nineteen year old, and they all came to her aid.
Instead of fleeing thinking where because you didn't know where
the guy went, so you know, he could have been
still around trying to attack them. They all came up
(09:59):
to her. They got her off the ground, and they
didn't run away, and they didn't turn away.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
And it's a man that's being hailed as a real
hero because he came up to her lifted her off
the ground and then gave her the cell phone said
you should call nine one one right now, which she
wouldn't have done, she says. She said, I would not
have done that, but she called nine to one one
immediately and they got this guy. But have you heard
of this? I mean, please leave a talkback, because I'd
(10:25):
never heard of this before. Apparently it's happening on the
streets of Manhattan all the time and it's incredible and
especially in that area. Just leave us a talkback. Big
changes down Under Australia says, no more social media for
anyone under sixteen. Find out what happens that the platforms
don't play by the rules. Next, when I need a
(10:48):
radio with the best reception and audio, you know where
I go by now right, you've heard me enough. You
turned to Sea Crane Seacrane Radio. Place an order with
them this week for a Seacrane radio. Any of the models,
the Solar Power one, the Internet one, any of their models.
They're all incredible. And listen to this. You get ten
(11:10):
percent off your order. You heard that, ten percent off
your entire order. Now it's Christmas time and for that
someone special. The CC Radio three makes the perfect gift.
It has great reception for long range AMFM stations along
with emergency capabilities. And that's what I think is the
most important thing, not only the incredible audio quality, but
(11:33):
the fact that you have a radio when the worst happens.
During Superstorm Sandy, these were essential. They were giving them
out during the fires in Los Angeles. It has THEAA,
the Noah Weather and the two meter handband on it too.
And as I said, the quality for talk radio is incredible.
(11:56):
It's like you're right there. You can separate base and
treble that has controls there and so you get all
of this. It is the best radio you could possibly have.
And then this week you get ten percent off your
entire order by calling Seacrane at eight hundred five two
two eight eight six three. Once again, that's eight hundred
five two two eight eight six three. Or you can
(12:19):
visit Sacrane online at sacrane dot com. That's c C
R A n E dot com. Oh again, this is
a fascinating story. I want to get right to Michael Safracone.
He ran for US Senate. You'll remember in New York.
He's a retired NYPD first grade detective and he is
a security expert, and he's raising the alarm about some
(12:42):
people that are still on the streets of New York
City and across New York that ICE should be after,
but the state is protecting them from ICE, and he's
saying they state should never protect them. They should be
working with ICE to get these people off the street. Michael,
thank you so much for joining us. Tell us about
(13:03):
these seven thousand.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Menaces morning, Larry, great to be here. I mean, when
we talk about sanctuary policies, we're tying the police's hands.
How I don't understand how it's not common sense that
we work together with ICE in the federal government to
take illegal immigrants off of our streets and not just
let's not talk, let's talk about the safety. If we
(13:27):
have no public safety, we have no city, we have
no state, we have no country. Right, it is so
important that we take these criminals people. Seven thousand people
released in the last year, I think twenty nine wanted
for homicide, thousands wanted for sexual abuse, their predators, and
we as a state release them without notifying the proper
(13:51):
authorities in the federal government, even when there's mandated detainers
on these on these immigration for violators and these criminals.
I don't understand where the common sense comes. We should
take politics out of this, and you know I'm a politician, Larry, Okay. Yeah,
it doesn't matter what side of the aisle you're on.
(14:12):
This is common sense as Americans. You know, we can
talk about affordability, housing, blah blah blah. Those are all
things that can be worked out. But the thing that
has to be done for Americans we have to feel safe.
We have to protect our families. We have to be
able to at a four twenty year old girl going
to school the other day gets assaulted by somebody and
(14:33):
it wasn't it wasn't an immigrant, but still he was
somebody who was released from prison. Where are we going?
What kind of society are we living in that we
think that we can just release people for no reasons
and put them back on the street.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Yeah, you're talking about two different You're talking about two
different things here, and I want to make sure that
we keep linking them because it's important to link them together.
You're talking about sanctuary cities and then the casualist bail,
the bail reform. With the two of those things together, I.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Agree they have to be linked and I'm going to
throw another thing at you too. Here, we had in
the last eight years over forty three cop killers released
by the New York State Parole boar board. Forty three
in New York State alone. People think that's the number
in the country. Forty three in New York State. These
things are all linked together. Sanctuary city, the bail reform,
(15:24):
and when he cop killers out on parole. We've got
to start getting back to common sense and just thinking basically,
how do we protect our society from predators and what
do we do to keep people safe.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Let me get back to the seven thousand for a second.
So the state and the city and law enforcement, everybody
knows who they are, but they can't tell ICE. They
have to protect them by state law.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
That's by the sanctuary city war. Yes, the century state war,
which is ridiculous, which needs to be changed. Now. I
don't even know if sanctuary cities and sanctuary states are
technically legal. Okay, that's something that's being the bet also.
So they just refused and I just said, read something
this morning about the Department of Investigation looking at the
MOYPD for officers who may have weaked information to ICE. Okay,
(16:13):
and how the city council is up in arms about
that happening, and what a terrible thing that is. How
can we say what a terrible thing it is when
twenty nine murderers have been released, three thousand assault three
thousand people have assaulted people, maybe two thousand people have
sexually abused people. How can we say what a terrible
(16:33):
thing that that information was given to the federal government.
And they're not asking federal government's not asking for the
NYPD or local authorities to go out and capture these guys.
They're saying, these are people that are in custody already.
All we want now is to be able to take
them from custody, right, put them where they've worn. That's
all they're asking for, right, I'm.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Saying, yeah, And this is exactly what the borders are
says all the time. Let us in the Rakers Island.
Just let us the Raker's Island because it's much safer.
We go into the community and we might have a shootout.
Let us go in and get them rikers and rikers,
no fuss, no.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Mess, right, And that's It's about the safety of this
law enforcement people too, of course, the safety of our citizens.
But law enforcement people are our citizens also, and they're
putting their lives at risk by not having these people
handed over them. Now they have to go hunt them
on the streets. Okay, And Holman says this all the time.
This is simple stuff, this is common sense. They're in
(17:28):
prison already, before they get released, we have a detainer
on them. We want to come in and pick them up.
And you know, in all other situations, the federal government
and the local governments work hand in hand with this.
I remember many times getting tipped off on somebody being
released at court that day and going to court and
waiting outside the courtroom and then locking that person up
for a crime that I had him for. Okay, And
(17:49):
it's simple, it's basic, and it's safe, and.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
It keeps us safe.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Right.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I want to get back there, and I want to
I want to let you know there's a reason I
phrased that the way I did about the seven thousand,
because I I think keeping when we talk about sanctuary cities,
we sanitize the whole thing. That's a term that the
Democrats came up with. That's a term that makes it
sound safe. It's not safe. So what we're really doing
and That's that's why I phrase it the way I did.
(18:14):
We're protecting seven thousand violent criminals. The state and the
city is protecting seven thousand violent criminals.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
You're one hundred percent correct. And you know it's criminal
the criminal justice system. I learned many many years ago.
It's justice to the criminal, okay. And that's exactly what's
going on here. It's not justice for us, the people,
the public, the working class people. It's justice for the
bad guys, okay. And that's ridiculous. It's and you were right.
(18:43):
The Democrats frame it as a sanctuary city. Is a
safe haven? Safe haven for who? Safe haven for the criminals,
for the criminals. Why do we care so much about
the criminals and not care about the twenty year old
girl walking down the street at nine thirty in the
morning just to go to class. I tell you, I'm
very proud of that young lady. She came out with
a video and pretty much smoke her mind about how
(19:05):
this is ridiculous. You know, we just elected a mayor
and I'm not going to get into the politics of this,
but this is a person who has no experience and
is going to be thrown into a war here in
New York City of what's going on, and he's got
to come up with a way to protect people and
still engage these young people who elected him. And this
(19:26):
is a perfect example. This young lady. I don't know
if she's lived in New York City or she voted
for him or whatever, but she's upset. And there's many
more people like that in her age group that are
going to be upset. And he's got to find a
way to make this city a safe place so that
these people can live here and earn a living and
go to school.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Yeah. I'm not sure she voted for mom, Donnie, because
I don't know if you heard that whole social media post,
but she says, we have to be more care forrol
of the people that we elect.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
He did, You're right, You're right. I don't know if
she lives in the city or doesn't, but but just
the point, we have the right to go to school,
we have the right to go to a store. These
are our given rights. This is what we need to
protect our citizens. And I'll say it a million times.
If we don't have public safety, what do we have.
We don't have a city, we don't have a state,
(20:15):
we have a country. You know, I remember years ago
in my security company and when we would get hired
to take care of watch a building or watch an
office or something, I would always say, you know, your
most important element of your business is your employees. And
the owners would say, you're right. If we don't protect
and make those employees feel safe, you're not going to
have a business.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Wee thousand percent agree, Michael. We have a thousand percent agree,
and it's great. We have to have you back on
to talk about this again. Thanks so much, Thanks so
much for bringing to to our attention. Michael Zafracone ran
for US Senate New York, retired NYPD first grade detective
and security expert. Thanks again, Michael, talk to again soon.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Thanks Claire.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Well, it's Christmas time and everybody has high tech on
their list, so let's check in with Santa himself. Rich
Demiro rich on Tech has heard Sunday nights from eight
to eleven pm on WR. Rich is with us every
Thursday at this time. You can also follow him at
rich on Tech on Instagram. So, uh, good morning till
(21:17):
you're rich thanks for being with us as always. So
it sounds like the big bing go ho ho, the
big news of the week, and just in time for Christmas,
comes from Samsung.
Speaker 10 (21:28):
Huh yeah. I mean, look, I think in the US
we haven't really warmed up to foldable phones yet. You
know the one that just folds in half. Now, Samsung
is doing a trifold. That's right, it's called the Samsung
Z trifold. You've got basically three screens side by side
that fold up like a Z but they unfold to
(21:49):
a ten inch display. We're talking, you know, that's a
mini iPad in your pocket.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
Right.
Speaker 10 (21:53):
So this is already launching in South Korea next week,
and then in the US it's gonna be the first
quarter of twenty twenty six. Price probably expecting around twenty
five hundred dollars. We'll see. This is probably gonna be
a very limited availability and a very limited audience that
actually wants something like this. And you sound skeptical, Well,
I've tried foldable phones. I think they're great if you
(22:16):
are a traveler or a business person. I personally just
don't really have a need for it, but I think
that people who have them that I know, they absolutely
love them. So there is a market for it. It's
just very small, and Apple has not done this. Yet
once they do it, that market will grow.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Talking about growing, it's amazing what Amazon has grown into.
Everybody seems to be shopping on Amazon, and everybody's looking
for the best prices. You've been grad at telling us
some of the ways they can find the best prices.
If somebody is going down right now the shop for
Christmas on Amazon, what do you suggest walk us through it?
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Okay?
Speaker 10 (22:53):
Number one. Amazon has added a price history link near
most of the pricing on their website, so look for that.
Most people miss it. You tap that, it will bring
up a chart of the past thirty or ninety days
of the price of that product. That way you can
tell if the current price is lower than average, or
it's the same as average, or if it's a deal.
(23:14):
So that's number one. If you don't see that, They've
got this AI assistant called rufus, which is actually really
good about telling you information about Amazon products. So look
for that link and you can type in price history.
It will give you the price history. You can ask
questions about the product, and you can even set it
to auto purchase the product at a price that you want,
(23:35):
or you can even have it alert you to a
price to a price drop. So if you want something
for twenty dollars versus twenty five, you could set that
price drop. You have to do that in the mobile app.
The other two things I like Camelcamelcamel dot com I know,
silly name, but helpful website. You can paste an Amazon
link in there. It will give you the full price history.
And then if you want to see all the price
(23:56):
history like way too much, I'm telling you, Larry called KIPA.
You can install that on your browser and on every
Amazon page. It will show you, I'm not kidding, more
stuff than you need to know about pricing history. It's
all there on your page.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
So not worth the price, is what you're saying.
Speaker 10 (24:13):
No, it's free, but it's you know, it's just that's
for like real shopping nerds. Like we were shooting a
story yesterday about this product in my photographer goes, that's
for like real shopping nerds. Tom.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I'm like, yes, and that's what I am.
Speaker 10 (24:25):
That's why I have it.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
On that Oh so you like it. It's for you,
but you're saying it's not for everybody. I get it.
I will tell you this.
Speaker 10 (24:31):
You have to be prepared for what you're going to
see there's a lot.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
You've talked about camel Camel cammell before, and now I've
heard about Camel Camel, Camel, Camel, Cammell from three different
people who are not tech people. This is becoming extremely popular.
Speaker 10 (24:45):
Explain why, Well, the thing is it tells you. You know,
on Amazon, there's a lot of pressure because they are
the smartest retailer in the room right now, so they
know how to make us press by and they know.
I always joke to my wife, my paycheck should go
directly to a Amazon and they give me the rest
and they've done with it, because that's what's happening at
this point. So Amazon knows how to get us to
(25:07):
spend money. I think having that price history and that
perspective on the pricing kind of relieve some of that
pressure to buy now. And I get it, it's shopping.
It's holiday season. We're looking for those gifts, so we
want to buy things. But just know that if something
is not a deal, you can kind of push it
off a little bit until it does become a deal.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Can we trust the deals online in promo codes?
Speaker 10 (25:32):
I think so, And again I think it all comes
down to perspective and that's why I've got websites that
I like. So if you're looking for Apple products, I
know you like your Apple products, Larry two websites that
I really love. The first is called the mac Rumors
Buyer's Guide. This lists every single Apple product and tells
you if you should buy it now or if you
should wait because a new version might come out, or
(25:53):
if you're looking for a deal because it's new, you
may not want to get that. You might want to
get the older model because you can see you have
a bunch of money. Now when it comes to actually
buying those products, there's a website called appleinsider dot com.
They have price guides. Any products that you want from Apple,
you can go to their price guide and it looks
at the prices across the Apple Store, which does not
(26:15):
discount them, but Amazon BNH best Buy. So right now,
if you're buying the one hundred and twenty eight gigabyte
M three iPad air, that's six hundred dollars at the
Apple Store, five point fifty at BNH, five hundred at Amazon,
you could save yourself one hundred dollars just by doing
a little research.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Let's get to your gadget of the week. What have
you got for Christmas?
Speaker 10 (26:38):
Uh, I've got something fun. This is a magical telephone.
So this telephone is you connect it to Wi Fi
and it looks like a rotary phone and it's from
a company called mister Christmas dot Com. And basically your
child picks up the phone and they are instantly connected
to the Big Man himself. Wow and a clause and
(26:59):
they can at with Santa. My kids had a field
day with this after they figured out what a rotary
phone was. That so parents will enjoy that. But the
Santa that you talk to is very incredible. It can
ask you about the gifts you want. It knows everything,
and it's all because of something called AI. It's helping
(27:21):
Santa become the magic that we know and love. So
that's one hundred dollars. It's sold everywhere now and it's
just a fun way to interact with Santa this year.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
That's a great idea. Real quick, let's talk about your
ultimate holiday shopping cheat sheet? Where can people find that?
Speaker 10 (27:38):
Yes, you can find it at rich on tech dot tv.

I got to tell you one more before we go. Sure,

eleven on WOR. He'll be back with this Thursday. At
this time when we come back, my final thoughts, a
recap of today's show and the talk back of the morning,
and look at I got to talk more about the
Sea Crane Radio. When you want a radio that has
the best reception and the best audio, especially for the
(28:32):
spoken word, I turn on the Sea Crane Radio and
you need to get one or give it to someone
that loves radio. And it's extremely important in an emergency
to have reliable communication and to be connected with the radio.

voice content, CC Radio three is the best this week.
Only Get ten percent off your entire order by calling
c Crane at eight hundred five two two eight eight

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
