Speaker 1 (00:00):
Are you ready for a three day weekend? I think
everybody here is. I'll tell you what, don't be fooled
by today. This is supposed to be, by the way,
a record setting travel day, the biggest travel day ever,
not just to the year ever, seventy two million. I
think they say they're gonna be traveling either by plane
(00:22):
or by car. So wherever you're gonna go, try to
get out there early, and don't be fooled by today.
Because there's gonna be some showers, there's gonna be some storms.
Some of the storms might be really severe. Tonight, it's
gonna be ninety degrees, it's gonna be muggy, it's gonna
be sticky. But you just gotta make it through this.
(00:44):
It's the gauntlet you gotta get through to Paradise because Friday, Saturday,
Sunday all expected to be beautiful, all expected to be
eighty five degrees and sunny. So just get through today.
Just keep telling yourself, be careful while you're out there,
be careful on the roads when you're driving wherever you're
(01:05):
driving to. But it is going to be just gorgeous
after this.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
So do you think you would give up? Well, you
would take all rainy weekends.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
In June, which we goind to almost had just to
have that month spectacular fourth of July weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
No okay, yeah no, but I don't have to. I'm
gonna get the weekend anyway. That's here for me. That's
that's laid out for me already. And by the way,
let me just say this ahead of time. If for
any reason this forecast is wrong.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Oh no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
We gotta get raced agic back in on Monday for
like a game of Thrones shaming, and I think we
should play that while he's talking, just have them saying shame, shame,
shame the entire time he's talking.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Well, we'll talk to him a lot this morning, so
you can. You can tell him that see how he thinks.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I will I will in the Big Three today. You're
not gonna believe this. They are still debating on the
House floor. As a matter of fact, let's tap into
it because Hikeem Jeffries is up in the middle of
the night.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
The American people are forced to confront a bill that
targets their healthcare and will result in their well being deteriorating.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Okay, I've had enough of him. You know, do you
realize do you know that he stops after every few
words for a long pause. Hakim Jeffries has this very effective, affected,
not effective, affected way of talking that drives you nuts.
It's like if you were having a conversation with Hakim Jeffries,
you'd want to jump in constantly, like you'd think he
(02:54):
was done. So, yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
You mean if I started talking and I made these pauses,
you wouldn't like it.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
It would drive me. Play him again? Is he still talking?
Put them up again.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
These are Americans on private insurance, employer provided insurance, but
because of the healthcare attacks in this bill, their premiums,
their co pays, their deductibles will go up, some will
not be able to afford it, and they will lose
(03:34):
their healthcare.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Radio, by the way, that makes me nervous.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
He always talks like that, always, and his hands are
always going crazy, like he's bringing in a plane. His
hands are more excited than his voice.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
That dead air makes any radio producer extremely nervous.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
No, I know, we'll wait till Hakim. I'm sorry I
did that to you. We'll wait till Hakim Jeffries stops talking.
But it has been kind of comical throughout the night.
They have been voting and debating throughout the night, just
like the Senate did, although it was more grueling in
the House only because there's so many members, four hundred
(04:20):
and thirty five and there's so many members, and for
the one vote, the Republicans didn't have the vote, so
they had to do it a lot of arm wrestling,
and they had to bring the president in for some
phone calls. So they broke a record for a vote overnight.
It took seven hours and fifteen minutes, not for the
major vote on the bill, for a procedural vote on
(04:43):
the bill, you know where everybody kind of says where
they stand, so you know if you're going to have
it passed or not. And after some arm twisting, they
got the they got the procedural vote through, and they
sound like they're gonna be able to pay the bill
a little bit later today, the procedural vote was two
hundred and nineteen to two hundred and thirteen. Oh my god,
(05:06):
he's still talking. Kim Jefferies has been up there for
like a half an hour. Because he's a minority leader,
they don't really time them, you know, the speaker and
the Minority leader just get to go as long as
they want. Again, we'll just keep checking in. Here is
somebody that talks a lot faster, but it's just as boring,
and that's the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
We are going to deliver the big, beautiful bill, the
President's America First Agenda, and we're going to do right
by the American people. This is going to be a
great thing for the country. Look forward to moving it forward.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
And then he just kept walking. The final vote should
come in just a couple of hours and it should
be on the President's decks desk by the July fourth deadline.
Sean Diddy Combs not guilty on the most serious federal charges.
Innocent on two counts of sex trafficking, Innocent on racketeering,
(05:58):
guilty on the rape charges.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
You saw that the Southern District of New York prosecutors
came at him with all that they had. They're not stopping.
But one thing stands between all of us and a prison,
and that is a jury of twelve citizens.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
But here's the thing. Combs will stay in jail until
sentencing because the judge says he has shown that he
has prone to violence. In Idaho, mass murderer Brian Coburger
makes a plea deal and appeals appears in court to
openly admit to killing four college students in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 7 (06:39):
Let me ask you, did you on November thirteenth, twenty
twenty two enter the residents at one one two two
King Road in Moscow, Idaho, with the intent to commit
the fellony crime of murder.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yes. In New Jersey, a sky diving plane loaded with
people on a trip crashes into a wooded area near
a South Jersey airport and in a miracle, everybody survived.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
You saw that the Southern.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I had the radio sound of that. Apparently it's not playing,
but in the radio sound they thought ten people were injured.
It was actually fifteen people that were injured. Three had
to go to the hospital. Most of them were treated
at the scene. Everybody is crediting, everybody is crediting the
pilot with just doing amazing work. And everything is set
(07:35):
now for the July fourth fireworks extravaganza over the East
River with a security tight because of world events.
Speaker 8 (07:42):
The NYPD and our federal partners are closely monitoring the
threat from lone wolf actors. Who are motivated by world events.
But I want to emphasize there are no known, specific
or credible threats to this year's celebration.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Now today, as I was saying earlier, is expected to
be the busiest travel day of the year. Also the
trivia possibly the busiest travel day in history, and it
was already crowded yesterday.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
The traffic is actually pretty bad going out to Long
Island right now.
Speaker 8 (08:16):
We see like two and.
Speaker 9 (08:17):
A half three hours as of right now, which is
a little bit more than it is normally, which is
kind of annoying.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Blat of traffic, you know, but it's New Jersey is expected.
We're going to check in with Race Agic on the
weather for the fourth of July in about five minutes,
and we'll check in with Susie Sarone on the traffic
a little bit later in the show when it starts
to pick up. Because I'll tell you the truth, when
I drove in it was it was really nice. I
(08:43):
kind of flewid faster than I normally do, so I
guess everybody's taking off work today and it's going to
head to the shore or to the beach or something
like that. A little bit later in the day, Are
you going to the beach today?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
I will be, and you know my expectation if I
make it down in under four hours.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Oh good, I'm bracing myself.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Everybody says the worst time to hit the roads is
in the early afternoon.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Well there you go. What I'll put the podcast on
and just roll on down.
Speaker 10 (09:19):
I think Natalie's going to be happy just to be
left alone in.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
My car by myself.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Will you be alone in the car?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, because I'm going to be leaving from here.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Oh that's the best. I do like taking drives by myself.
You don't like it?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
No, no, it's good, it's good. No, I do.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I do. But you're a talker. You do like to talk.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Talk to myself.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
You're always interesting to yourself. Very By the way, you
can go to the iHeartRadio app and leave us a
talk back all morning long. You could win a limited
edition MENTI in the Morning t shirt, which will be
awarded every day to our favorite talkback of the morning.
And while you're on the free Iart radio app, be
sure to set a preset for seven to ten. Woir
(10:02):
so the big beautiful bill. After all the screaming, after
all the yelleying, after all the discontent is going to
pass today, and one of the most important things about
the bill is that it's going to stop a tax
raise that could be twenty percent for all of us.
It was a tax raise that was put into effect
(10:24):
by the Biden administration. We'll keep on checking in through
the day, but what we really need to get to
right now is is it going to be the most
perfect holiday weekend forecast ever? It's a lot of pressure
for meteorologist Ray Staging. We'll talk to him next, plus
tickets to see Jackson Brown at A twenty five, So
(10:46):
stay with us, all right, Let's get to the most
important thing to talk about with the weekend coming up,
the holiday weekend coming up and the fireworks tomorrow night,
is the weather. That's the most important thing to talk about.
So let's get right to Race stage at wo R
and Weather Channel meteorologist to find out it's and because
(11:07):
it looks like it from what I've been told so far,
Ray and listening to you this morning, this might be
the best holiday weekend ever, ever.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Ever, ever, ever.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Do you know it's not going to be bad, not
at all.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I mean, it's not going to be bad.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
It's gonna be perfect. Sonny and eighty five. Are you
kidding me?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
It's perfection, I mean, find like best ever.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I mean I just did it. I just did Sonny
in eighty five. That's pretty damn good.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
And low humidity. What else do you want?
Speaker 11 (11:44):
I don't know, maybe he said, he said, the entire weekend,
maybe eighty five in low humidity all weekend. We might
get a little more humidity by the end of the weekend.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
But if you if you.
Speaker 11 (11:55):
Said, you know what, maybe somebody's driving around today they
took today all so could be like, well, maybe some
thunder later, But Friday, Saturday, Sunday, you're gonna be real nice.
Speaker 10 (12:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (12:04):
Maybe you took Monday off. It's gonna be real nice
Monday too, Sophy, you took this weekend to be one
of your longer weekends of the summer.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
You did pick a good one. Did you take Monday off?
I did?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
He has he knows.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I hate that you took Monday off because we wanted
you back in here in case there was some rain
or thunderstorms over the weekend. We wanted you. You know what,
we had ready to go. We have the the the
Game of Thrones. Shame, shame, shame, shame ready to go
in case that happened. And I can't believe you copped out,
you chickened down. You know, do you do this every
(12:41):
holiday weekend? You take off the Monday to make sure.
Speaker 11 (12:44):
Yeah, I had every Monday during football season. Not anymore anyway,
I've got smarter, exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
So let's go. Let's go day by day, because let's
start with Friday night, because well, Friday Day for the
barbecues is big too, but Friday night, everybody wants to
see the fireworks. Gonna be nice, clear.
Speaker 11 (13:07):
Beautiful clear. I mean, I think it's even gonna be
hard to find a cloud. I mean, you go ahead
and head toward dusk temperatures, I'll probably be dropping into
the seventies and then it looks like it's gonna be
I don't see anything here. It's almost like I'm trying
to make it rain, but it's not.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
So you're saying it's gonna be perfect, It's gonna be perfect, Sledge,
this is not a forecast, this is a pledge.
Speaker 11 (13:33):
This is it's a nine point five. Because there's an
old country song that said Bobby Bear saying it says,
there ain't no ten. It's a nine point five about
something completely different and not the weather, but still it's
a nine point five.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
And then oh what was it about?
Speaker 11 (13:49):
Oh I can't get into that.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Okay, let's go to uh, let's go to Saturday and Sunday.
Well just well, but Friday was the most important day.
So Saturday and Sunday nice.
Speaker 11 (14:02):
Yeah, beautiful sunshine Saturday eighty five, mostly sunny. On Sunday,
we get up there ninety might see a little increase
in humidity, all right, lows will start coming up a
little bit too, but there's no rain in the forecast
until Tuesday. I did want to mention, though, if you're
traveling for the holiday, heading to maybe the Carolina Beaches,
north South Carolina or Southeast Georgia.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Stops stop you're looking for something bad?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Stop seven miles.
Speaker 11 (14:31):
Well here, there could be somebody leaving in the car
today and they plan on getting to maybe the Outer
Banks or maybe Hilton Head.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
You're I know, you're in big trouble.
Speaker 11 (14:41):
There could be something weak and the tropics developing there.
So I just didn't want to mention.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Then you can't help yourself to every meteorologist. Look, well,
there's got to be something bad somewhere I can warn
people about so I'll make it up. You are fledging,
you are promising that it's going to be nice, promise,
but then you take off Monday just in case, just in.
Speaker 11 (15:02):
Case, and you know what, I'll even make myself available,
how about that if it does go haywire, I will
make myself available to take my lists about that.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Oh that's great. And by the way, just kind come
on for a second, just so we can play some
applause and worship you for a second. If you're right,
you probably like that a lot better. Anyway, now listen
that a lot ray. It was great to talk to you.
Thank you so much, and thanks for that beautiful forecast.
They appreciate it now. Jacqueline Carl with the six thirty News, Jacklin.
Speaker 10 (15:32):
Larry, Good morning. House Republicans have secured a late night
breakthrough on President Trump's massive spending bill. After hours of
internal GOP wrangling, The House narrowly passes a key procedural
vote two nineteen to two thirteen to move the multi
trillion dollar package forward.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
The bill now heads.
Speaker 10 (15:50):
To a final vote this morning, just one step away
from the President's desk and the New York Nick search
for a head coach appears to be over, with multiple
reports saying New York has hired Mike Brown to take
over the role.
Speaker 9 (16:02):
Mike Brown was the only coaching Canada to interview with
the Knicks multiple times. This comes after Tom Thibodeau was
fired a month ago. Thibodeau led the team to their
first Eastern Conference Finals appearance in more than twenty five years.
Brown is a two time NBA Coach of the Year winner,
once with the Cleveland Cavaliers, the other with the Sacramento Kings.
As an assistant coach, Brown won four championships. Jennifer POLSONI
(16:25):
woor news.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
You seemed interested in that, Larry No, that's a great hire.
I wonder what that contract is is. I know we're
not going to find out now, but man, I think
more than all three of us make, well, maybe more
than everybody in the building right now.
Speaker 10 (16:40):
All right, So, fire trucks, as we all know, are
for fighting hot fires, not for giving rides to show
up for hot girls. According to x News Now, a
New York City firefighter has been suspended after giving a
few hotties a fire truck joy ride. An internal investigation
found what's been called a growing fratthouse culture within the FDNY.
(17:02):
Reports say the Brooklyn fire truck excursion happened without authorization,
and concerns over safety and professionalism grew after what else,
pictures of the Jewey ride were circulated online that it's
like why even why even have police or investigators when
they when they're just filming themselves and posting it. Sources
(17:25):
to say that more firefighters could be disciplined as well.
I know it sounds serious, but some of these firefighters
come out of the what it is, the Firefighter Academy young,
and I guess they do kind of like, you know,
still adolescent stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
But let's put this in reverse, well reverse this.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Have you ever seen the FDNY calendar of Heroes?
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (17:49):
I have, which now they have.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
A male and a female calendar, So okay, fabulous, But
these women might want to jump on that truck because
some of those fdm O my guys are pretty hot.
Speaker 10 (18:01):
I've chased a few fire trucks in my day along
with my dog.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
We just run after them.
Speaker 10 (18:06):
No, I get it, I get how this happened, but
I stop filming yourselves and then posting it online. And true,
it is a it is a city vehicle. And there
are safety consers. Of course, did you to hear yourselves?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
If I, let's reverse, that's what I thought you were
going to do. If I was talking like this about women,
I might lose my job. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Look at the female calendar. They're pretty hot too.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
You can say that.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yeah, I'm saying the women are hot and the guys
are hot on those FDN Y calendars.
Speaker 10 (18:39):
That's why they're on the calendars, and that's why there
are calendars of them. This is not a secret.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
No, I know it's not a secret. I know it's
not a secret. I've just different rules for the ways
women could talk about men and different rights.
Speaker 10 (18:54):
I'm sure if there were female firefighters giving hotty guys
a joy ride.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
They'd be in just as much trouble. Maybe it. I'm
not saying they wouldn't be that. There you go, Thank
you very much, Jacqueline Carl. Well, you know what, we
didn't get a lot of time to talk about the
big beautiful bill. So we will when we come right back.
And can you believe it came? Jeffries is still talking.
(19:20):
This is a filibuster, not a speech. Luckily he's getting.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Water rising, food and utility costs and maintain.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I can't take it. I can't take the pauses. Luckily,
I saw he was getting water, so he's gonna have
to pea sometime when we come back. Hopefully he's not
doing it then. Uh, will the Big Beautiful Mill Bill
make it? On the fourth of July the latest next
and you want to add to the conversation, leave us
a talk back. Go to seven ten wor on the
iHeartRadio app and click the microphone and when you're there,
(19:52):
put seven to ten WOAR on your presets. Plus you
could win a limited edition Mente in the Morning t shirt,
which will be awarded every day to our favorite talk
back of the morning. Well, the Big Beautiful Bill is
still being debated. They say they're gonna vote today, but
that would mean that Hakeem Jefferies would have to stop talking.
He's been up there. I think he's been there an
(20:14):
hour now since they had a procedural vote that went
well for the Republicans and they know this is going
to pass. Now, the Big Beautiful Bill will pass, It'll
get out of the House. The President will get it tomorrow.
He'll be able to sign it like he wanted. On
the fourth of July. So the Republicans in both the
Senate and House did a great job with this bill
and getting it through and shepherding it through. Mike Johnson,
(20:36):
great job, John Thune, great job. Hakeem Jefferies is just
being a baby right now. This is a baby fit
he's throwing. He's gonna take up as much time as
he possibly can. So what he's doing right now is
fill the bustering. As a matter of fact, I didn't
notice it before. He's got a script in front of
him and there there must be another one hundred pages
(20:59):
in that script can get to yet, and the way
he talks, the way he talks is it's going to
take forever because he he has longer pauses than he
has words. Here, let's just tap in one more.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Time, represented by Congressman Jared Golden. Thankful for Congressman Golden service.
He served this nation with distinction overseas and it's come
back home. Yes, serve this nation in the United States.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
And then what Congress, there you go? Casey writes, yes,
what go ahead?
Speaker 4 (21:37):
As a single mom of two young children, two and
non profit professional in rural Maine. Okay, so go, Casey
and her children rely on medicaid and snap to live
their lives.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Okay, all right, we can't take it.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
The resources and stability.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Provided by cash please. I guess I just can't take
the way he talks. I can't believe there are people.
Look at the if you bighty chance, are at a computer,
look at the people behind him. You know this is
just torture. This is torture, and they have to sit there.
I did notice that Frank Polone from New Jersey got
(22:18):
up and left, which I think is funny, and they
filled his seat immediately because he was right behind them.
They couldn't have an empty seat, so they filled his
seat immediately. So this poor aid that they was yanked
out of an office to fill in the seat for
Frank Polone has to sit and listen to this. I
can't take. I can't take Minority Leader jeffries In even
(22:41):
a twenty second SoundBite, because you have to edit it
together or you're gonna have dead air. Can you imagine
having to sit through a couple of hours of this
guy and all the Democrats have to sit there. They
all have to sit there. Anyway, Let's get to somebody.
Let's get Mike Johnson, because Mike Johnson is doing an
(23:02):
incredible job in herding cats. And he had a lot
of people four that were definitely going to vote No.
Four and he can only lose three and then ate
another nine that had real problems. So he's been working hard,
and so is the President in trying to hurt all
these cats and getting to to this point, and now
(23:25):
it looks like the bill's going to pass.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
We're working through.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Everybody's issues and making sure that we can secure this vote.
I feel very positive about the progress.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
So I want to go back and forth real quick,
from Democrat to Republican, Democrat to Republican, Democrat to Republican.
And the reason I want to do that is because
it gets silly, doesn't it. It gets silly. If you
listen to the Democrats, it's the worst bill that was
ever written. And if you listen to the Republicans, it's
a miracle bill. It's going to do incredible things.
Speaker 12 (23:54):
If I vote no on this, I'm voting to raise
income taxes on everyone by about percent. And I'm a Republican,
a conservative. I don't want to raise people's taxes.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
That's representative Bacon. He was a no, and then they
convinced him by telling him that that if you go
ahead and vote no, it is going to make taxes
go up about twenty percent for individuals. I don't think
a lot of people. They've been saying this for a
while while, but I don't think it's sunk into a
lot of people if they don't get this bill passed
and the next week a tax sit goes through that
(24:27):
Biden put through as a poison pill for the next administration. Oh,
here's Frank Polone talking about how horrible the bill is.
Speaker 13 (24:35):
This is the most shameful bill that I've ever seen.
It takes healthcare away from seventeen million people in order
to give giant tax breaks to billionaires and large corporate interests.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
First of all, that's lie and lie. It's not going
to be seventeen million. Even the CBO doesn't say seventeen million.
But it is going to be a lot of people,
and it's going to be people that have been bilking
the system because they they can work, and they are
many of them young adults, not all of them, but
many of them young adults who can work, and they're
(25:07):
just sucking off the system. It's fraud. It's not supposed
to be for them, So there's a requirement they have
to work. Now, that's part of it. The other one
is there's going to be millions of people. They're here illegally,
they've been getting medicaid, and we have to take away
that incentive or we're going to keep dealing with this problem.
Let's get something good.
Speaker 14 (25:27):
This bill gives the average working family a thirteen hundred
dollars tax cut and makes permanent the one ninety nine
a small business deduction to keep our economy humming.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Right, There's going to be so many, so much good
in this for the working person and for the elderly.
How about the fact that there's no tax on Social Security? Now,
how about the fact that there's no tax on tips
or overtime. But the real reason that the Republicans that
were not going to vote yes on this is because
(25:58):
they got a call from the President and they don't
want to be primaried. Because this president is one of
the most popular presidents in history among Republicans.
Speaker 15 (26:09):
So this isn't just Republicans who like Donald Trump. This
is Republicans who love Donald Trump. And he's up like
a rocket.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Look at this.
Speaker 15 (26:17):
In July twenty seventeen, the strongly approved with fifty three percent.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
But look at where he is now.
Speaker 15 (26:22):
Sixty three percent of Republicans strongly approve of the job
that Donald Trump is doing about five months into his presidency.
Republicans love Donald Trump the way that Americans love Disney
World love Harriet.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
And remember that's the ones that strongly love him, the
ones that approve of him. That goes into the ninety percent.
So nobody's taking him on. How about this? The Reverend
aw Sharpton weighs in on the mayoral race and makes
a surprising plea for one candidate to drop out. We'll
tell you who that is next. And our iHeartRadio Music
(26:59):
Festival is back September nineteenth and twentieth in Las Vegas.
Two big nights, one big stage, live performances by Brian Adams,
John Fogerty, Sammy Hagar, Ed Sheer and Maroon Five and
many more. There's acts being added every single day, and
now's your chance to buy tickets. You have to go
to AXS dot com AXS dot com get him now
(27:21):
before they sell out. Well, Kim Jefferies is still talking,
trying to fellow buster the Big Beautiful Bill he's now
been going for two hours. He must have Corey Booker envy,
and that's what he's trying to do to be the
new Corey Booker. Maybe take his slot, do you. I
don't think he can go that long. I'm not sure that.
(27:45):
Like Corey Booker did, Corey Booker kept taking breaks to
let someone else speak for him. I don't think he's
allowed to from where he's talking from. I think in
the Senate, when you're up in front of the Senate,
you can do it. I'm not sure sure he's going
to be able to do that. So he has to
stay there the entire time. And as I noticed before,
(28:05):
he's been drinking water. So my feeling is he's gonna
have to go to the bathroom sometime. And but he's
got a big thick binder in front of him where
he's gonna keep talking. Can we tap him just one
more time?
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Half of that great state. I'm a fifty seven year
old man. Oh god, he's living in central Minnesota. I
am a Type one insulin dependent diabetic, all right, all.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Right legally, But see here's he's gonna do. He's gonna
start reading letters. That's gonna fill some time. Let's talk
about some local politics for a second. Al Sharpton has
weighed in on the mayor O Rays and it's really
interesting he's taking a take. I don't think you would
have expected, well, this you might have expected.
Speaker 16 (28:53):
I think that if de Mandandy wanted anybody to help
his campaign, he should went down with Trump to talk
every day in the terms that he talked to Ferrick Adams,
because that is absolutely something that the voters will shun
up one a political favor, right.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
I think he's exactly right about that. I think the
more that Donald Trump talks and attacks Mom Donnie, the
better it is for Mom Donnie. Although he said, yeah,
I think he does that on purpose to tell you
the truth. Ah, you're talking about Sharpton. Yeah, no, let
me play that again at the beginning, because if you noticed,
(29:36):
he doesn't know how to say his name, and he the.
Speaker 16 (29:40):
I think that if the Mandanny wanted anybody to help him,
because she wanted Donald Trump to talk.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
But he's right about Donald Trump. I wish Donald Trump
would just stay out of this election only and I
know he can't help himself, but only because he's going
to affect the election. Just because there's so many Democratic
voters that don't like him unless he, you know, comes
out and strongly for Curtis Lee, which I don't think
he's ready to do. He's talking about Eric Adams. But
here's the really fascinating part about the Al Sharpton interview
(30:13):
is that he thinks, as many other people have said,
including Hank shankof on Our Era. As a matter of fact,
he was the first person I heard say that that
he believes there should be a coalition that other candidates
should drop out. Now, some people said Curtis Lee, we
should drop out, which I don't think is going to
be effective because that's Republican voters and they may just
(30:35):
stay home. But this is an interesting one.
Speaker 16 (30:38):
I think Andrew Cuomo should look at what is best
for the city and let them have a one on
one race.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
He's forgetting Curtis leeber completely right there, but what he
wants is Eric Adams to go at it against Mom
Donnie and I actually think that's a brilliant strategy. And
I think that's what Cuomo's thinking about now. Even though
he left his name on the line, he hasn't come
out and said I am withdrawing from the race and
(31:11):
Adams certainly is acting like he's taking on Mandania and
that's it. And so it is fascinating. It's fascinating what's
going to be happening over the next month. But I
do believe there's going to be a coalition, and I
don't think Eric Adams is dropping out. So I think
(31:31):
the reluctance you're hearing from Cuomo right now is he's
weighing his options and what's in it for him if
he drops out. But I don't think that Cuomo is
going to stay in the race, and I think he's
not going to stay in the race to help Eric
Adams win the race, because now people are starting to
come back to Eric Adams. Isn't politics a funny thing?
(31:52):
He was out of it just a month ago and
now he's back. Let's talk more about one of the
big stories of the day, the big utiful bills. One
of them Sean Diddy is the other one. He may
be the happiest man in jail right now, not guilty
on the most serious charges. We'll talk to Peter Haralambus
about it after the seven o'clock News
Are you ready for a three day weekend? I think
everybody here is. I'll tell you what, don't be fooled
by today. This is supposed to be, by the way,
a record setting travel day, the biggest travel day ever,
not just to the year ever, seventy two million. I
think they say they're gonna be traveling either by plane
(00:22):
or by car. So wherever you're gonna go, try to
get out there early, and don't be fooled by today.
Because there's gonna be some showers, there's gonna be some storms.
Some of the storms might be really severe. Tonight, it's
gonna be ninety degrees, it's gonna be muggy, it's gonna
be sticky. But you just gotta make it through this.
(00:44):
It's the gauntlet you gotta get through to Paradise because Friday, Saturday,
Sunday all expected to be beautiful, all expected to be
eighty five degrees and sunny. So just get through today.
Just keep telling yourself, be careful while you're out there,
be careful on the roads when you're driving wherever you're
(01:05):
driving to. But it is going to be just gorgeous
after this.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
So do you think you would give up? Well, you
would take all rainy weekends.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
In June, which we goind to almost had just to
have that month spectacular fourth of July weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
No okay, yeah no, but I don't have to. I'm
gonna get the weekend anyway. That's here for me. That's
that's laid out for me already. And by the way,
let me just say this ahead of time. If for
any reason this forecast is wrong.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Oh no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
We gotta get raced agic back in on Monday for
like a game of Thrones shaming, and I think we
should play that while he's talking, just have them saying shame, shame,
shame the entire time he's talking.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Well, we'll talk to him a lot this morning, so
you can. You can tell him that see how he thinks.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I will I will in the Big Three today. You're
not gonna believe this. They are still debating on the
House floor. As a matter of fact, let's tap into
it because Hikeem Jeffries is up in the middle of
the night.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
The American people are forced to confront a bill that
targets their healthcare and will result in their well being deteriorating.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Okay, I've had enough of him. You know, do you
realize do you know that he stops after every few
words for a long pause. Hakim Jeffries has this very effective, affected,
not effective, affected way of talking that drives you nuts.
It's like if you were having a conversation with Hakim Jeffries,
you'd want to jump in constantly, like you'd think he
(02:54):
was done. So, yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
You mean if I started talking and I made these pauses,
you wouldn't like it.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
It would drive me. Play him again? Is he still talking?
Put them up again.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
These are Americans on private insurance, employer provided insurance, but
because of the healthcare attacks in this bill, their premiums,
their co pays, their deductibles will go up, some will
not be able to afford it, and they will lose
(03:34):
their healthcare.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Radio, by the way, that makes me nervous.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
He always talks like that, always, and his hands are
always going crazy, like he's bringing in a plane. His
hands are more excited than his voice.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
That dead air makes any radio producer extremely nervous.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
No, I know, we'll wait till Hakim. I'm sorry I
did that to you. We'll wait till Hakim Jeffries stops talking.
But it has been kind of comical throughout the night.
They have been voting and debating throughout the night, just
like the Senate did, although it was more grueling in
the House only because there's so many members, four hundred
(04:20):
and thirty five and there's so many members, and for
the one vote, the Republicans didn't have the vote, so
they had to do it a lot of arm wrestling,
and they had to bring the president in for some
phone calls. So they broke a record for a vote overnight.
It took seven hours and fifteen minutes, not for the
major vote on the bill, for a procedural vote on
(04:43):
the bill, you know where everybody kind of says where
they stand, so you know if you're going to have
it passed or not. And after some arm twisting, they
got the they got the procedural vote through, and they
sound like they're gonna be able to pay the bill
a little bit later today, the procedural vote was two
hundred and nineteen to two hundred and thirteen. Oh my god,
(05:06):
he's still talking. Kim Jefferies has been up there for
like a half an hour. Because he's a minority leader,
they don't really time them, you know, the speaker and
the Minority leader just get to go as long as
they want. Again, we'll just keep checking in. Here is
somebody that talks a lot faster, but it's just as boring,
and that's the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
We are going to deliver the big, beautiful bill, the
President's America First Agenda, and we're going to do right
by the American people. This is going to be a
great thing for the country. Look forward to moving it forward.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
And then he just kept walking. The final vote should
come in just a couple of hours and it should
be on the President's decks desk by the July fourth deadline.
Sean Diddy Combs not guilty on the most serious federal charges.
Innocent on two counts of sex trafficking, Innocent on racketeering,
(05:58):
guilty on the rape charges.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
You saw that the Southern District of New York prosecutors
came at him with all that they had. They're not stopping.
But one thing stands between all of us and a prison,
and that is a jury of twelve citizens.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
But here's the thing. Combs will stay in jail until
sentencing because the judge says he has shown that he
has prone to violence. In Idaho, mass murderer Brian Coburger
makes a plea deal and appeals appears in court to
openly admit to killing four college students in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 7 (06:39):
Let me ask you, did you on November thirteenth, twenty
twenty two enter the residents at one one two two
King Road in Moscow, Idaho, with the intent to commit
the fellony crime of murder.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yes. In New Jersey, a sky diving plane loaded with
people on a trip crashes into a wooded area near
a South Jersey airport and in a miracle, everybody survived.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
You saw that the Southern.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I had the radio sound of that. Apparently it's not playing,
but in the radio sound they thought ten people were injured.
It was actually fifteen people that were injured. Three had
to go to the hospital. Most of them were treated
at the scene. Everybody is crediting, everybody is crediting the
pilot with just doing amazing work. And everything is set
(07:35):
now for the July fourth fireworks extravaganza over the East
River with a security tight because of world events.
Speaker 8 (07:42):
The NYPD and our federal partners are closely monitoring the
threat from lone wolf actors. Who are motivated by world events.
But I want to emphasize there are no known, specific
or credible threats to this year's celebration.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Now today, as I was saying earlier, is expected to
be the busiest travel day of the year. Also the
trivia possibly the busiest travel day in history, and it
was already crowded yesterday.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
The traffic is actually pretty bad going out to Long
Island right now.
Speaker 8 (08:16):
We see like two and.
Speaker 9 (08:17):
A half three hours as of right now, which is
a little bit more than it is normally, which is
kind of annoying.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Blat of traffic, you know, but it's New Jersey is expected.
We're going to check in with Race Agic on the
weather for the fourth of July in about five minutes,
and we'll check in with Susie Sarone on the traffic
a little bit later in the show when it starts
to pick up. Because I'll tell you the truth, when
I drove in it was it was really nice. I
(08:43):
kind of flewid faster than I normally do, so I
guess everybody's taking off work today and it's going to
head to the shore or to the beach or something
like that. A little bit later in the day, Are
you going to the beach today?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
I will be, and you know my expectation if I
make it down in under four hours.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Oh good, I'm bracing myself.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Everybody says the worst time to hit the roads is
in the early afternoon.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Well there you go. What I'll put the podcast on
and just roll on down.
Speaker 10 (09:19):
I think Natalie's going to be happy just to be
left alone in.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
My car by myself.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Will you be alone in the car?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, because I'm going to be leaving from here.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Oh that's the best. I do like taking drives by myself.
You don't like it?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
No, no, it's good, it's good. No, I do.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I do. But you're a talker. You do like to talk.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Talk to myself.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
You're always interesting to yourself. Very By the way, you
can go to the iHeartRadio app and leave us a
talk back all morning long. You could win a limited
edition MENTI in the Morning t shirt, which will be
awarded every day to our favorite talkback of the morning.
And while you're on the free Iart radio app, be
sure to set a preset for seven to ten. Woir
(10:02):
so the big beautiful bill. After all the screaming, after
all the yelleying, after all the discontent is going to
pass today, and one of the most important things about
the bill is that it's going to stop a tax
raise that could be twenty percent for all of us.
It was a tax raise that was put into effect
(10:24):
by the Biden administration. We'll keep on checking in through
the day, but what we really need to get to
right now is is it going to be the most
perfect holiday weekend forecast ever? It's a lot of pressure
for meteorologist Ray Staging. We'll talk to him next, plus
tickets to see Jackson Brown at A twenty five, So
(10:46):
stay with us, all right, Let's get to the most
important thing to talk about with the weekend coming up,
the holiday weekend coming up and the fireworks tomorrow night,
is the weather. That's the most important thing to talk about.
So let's get right to Race stage at wo R
and Weather Channel meteorologist to find out it's and because
(11:07):
it looks like it from what I've been told so far,
Ray and listening to you this morning, this might be
the best holiday weekend ever, ever.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Ever, ever, ever.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Do you know it's not going to be bad, not
at all.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I mean, it's not going to be bad.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
It's gonna be perfect. Sonny and eighty five. Are you
kidding me?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
It's perfection, I mean, find like best ever.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I mean I just did it. I just did Sonny
in eighty five. That's pretty damn good.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
And low humidity. What else do you want?
Speaker 11 (11:44):
I don't know, maybe he said, he said, the entire weekend,
maybe eighty five in low humidity all weekend. We might
get a little more humidity by the end of the weekend.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
But if you if you.
Speaker 11 (11:55):
Said, you know what, maybe somebody's driving around today they
took today all so could be like, well, maybe some
thunder later, But Friday, Saturday, Sunday, you're gonna be real nice.
Speaker 10 (12:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (12:04):
Maybe you took Monday off. It's gonna be real nice
Monday too, Sophy, you took this weekend to be one
of your longer weekends of the summer.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
You did pick a good one. Did you take Monday off?
I did?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
He has he knows.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I hate that you took Monday off because we wanted
you back in here in case there was some rain
or thunderstorms over the weekend. We wanted you. You know what,
we had ready to go. We have the the the
Game of Thrones. Shame, shame, shame, shame ready to go
in case that happened. And I can't believe you copped out,
you chickened down. You know, do you do this every
(12:41):
holiday weekend? You take off the Monday to make sure.
Speaker 11 (12:44):
Yeah, I had every Monday during football season. Not anymore anyway,
I've got smarter, exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
So let's go. Let's go day by day, because let's
start with Friday night, because well, Friday Day for the
barbecues is big too, but Friday night, everybody wants to
see the fireworks. Gonna be nice, clear.
Speaker 11 (13:07):
Beautiful clear. I mean, I think it's even gonna be
hard to find a cloud. I mean, you go ahead
and head toward dusk temperatures, I'll probably be dropping into
the seventies and then it looks like it's gonna be
I don't see anything here. It's almost like I'm trying
to make it rain, but it's not.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
So you're saying it's gonna be perfect, It's gonna be perfect, Sledge,
this is not a forecast, this is a pledge.
Speaker 11 (13:33):
This is it's a nine point five. Because there's an
old country song that said Bobby Bear saying it says,
there ain't no ten. It's a nine point five about
something completely different and not the weather, but still it's
a nine point five.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
And then oh what was it about?
Speaker 11 (13:49):
Oh I can't get into that.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Okay, let's go to uh, let's go to Saturday and Sunday.
Well just well, but Friday was the most important day.
So Saturday and Sunday nice.
Speaker 11 (14:02):
Yeah, beautiful sunshine Saturday eighty five, mostly sunny. On Sunday,
we get up there ninety might see a little increase
in humidity, all right, lows will start coming up a
little bit too, but there's no rain in the forecast
until Tuesday. I did want to mention, though, if you're
traveling for the holiday, heading to maybe the Carolina Beaches,
north South Carolina or Southeast Georgia.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Stops stop you're looking for something bad?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Stop seven miles.
Speaker 11 (14:31):
Well here, there could be somebody leaving in the car
today and they plan on getting to maybe the Outer
Banks or maybe Hilton Head.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
You're I know, you're in big trouble.
Speaker 11 (14:41):
There could be something weak and the tropics developing there.
So I just didn't want to mention.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Then you can't help yourself to every meteorologist. Look, well,
there's got to be something bad somewhere I can warn
people about so I'll make it up. You are fledging,
you are promising that it's going to be nice, promise,
but then you take off Monday just in case, just in.
Speaker 11 (15:02):
Case, and you know what, I'll even make myself available,
how about that if it does go haywire, I will
make myself available to take my lists about that.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Oh that's great. And by the way, just kind come
on for a second, just so we can play some
applause and worship you for a second. If you're right,
you probably like that a lot better. Anyway, now listen
that a lot ray. It was great to talk to you.
Thank you so much, and thanks for that beautiful forecast.
They appreciate it now. Jacqueline Carl with the six thirty News, Jacklin.
Speaker 10 (15:32):
Larry, Good morning. House Republicans have secured a late night
breakthrough on President Trump's massive spending bill. After hours of
internal GOP wrangling, The House narrowly passes a key procedural
vote two nineteen to two thirteen to move the multi
trillion dollar package forward.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
The bill now heads.
Speaker 10 (15:50):
To a final vote this morning, just one step away
from the President's desk and the New York Nick search
for a head coach appears to be over, with multiple
reports saying New York has hired Mike Brown to take
over the role.
Speaker 9 (16:02):
Mike Brown was the only coaching Canada to interview with
the Knicks multiple times. This comes after Tom Thibodeau was
fired a month ago. Thibodeau led the team to their
first Eastern Conference Finals appearance in more than twenty five years.
Brown is a two time NBA Coach of the Year winner,
once with the Cleveland Cavaliers, the other with the Sacramento Kings.
As an assistant coach, Brown won four championships. Jennifer POLSONI
(16:25):
woor news.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
You seemed interested in that, Larry No, that's a great hire.
I wonder what that contract is is. I know we're
not going to find out now, but man, I think
more than all three of us make, well, maybe more
than everybody in the building right now.
Speaker 10 (16:40):
All right, So, fire trucks, as we all know, are
for fighting hot fires, not for giving rides to show
up for hot girls. According to x News Now, a
New York City firefighter has been suspended after giving a
few hotties a fire truck joy ride. An internal investigation
found what's been called a growing fratthouse culture within the FDNY.
(17:02):
Reports say the Brooklyn fire truck excursion happened without authorization,
and concerns over safety and professionalism grew after what else,
pictures of the Jewey ride were circulated online that it's
like why even why even have police or investigators when
they when they're just filming themselves and posting it. Sources
(17:25):
to say that more firefighters could be disciplined as well.
I know it sounds serious, but some of these firefighters
come out of the what it is, the Firefighter Academy young,
and I guess they do kind of like, you know,
still adolescent stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
But let's put this in reverse, well reverse this.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Have you ever seen the FDNY calendar of Heroes?
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (17:49):
I have, which now they have.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
A male and a female calendar, So okay, fabulous, But
these women might want to jump on that truck because
some of those fdm O my guys are pretty hot.
Speaker 10 (18:01):
I've chased a few fire trucks in my day along
with my dog.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
We just run after them.
Speaker 10 (18:06):
No, I get it, I get how this happened, but
I stop filming yourselves and then posting it online. And true,
it is a it is a city vehicle. And there
are safety consers. Of course, did you to hear yourselves?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
If I, let's reverse, that's what I thought you were
going to do. If I was talking like this about women,
I might lose my job. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Look at the female calendar. They're pretty hot too.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
You can say that.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yeah, I'm saying the women are hot and the guys
are hot on those FDN Y calendars.
Speaker 10 (18:39):
That's why they're on the calendars, and that's why there
are calendars of them. This is not a secret.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
No, I know it's not a secret. I know it's
not a secret. I've just different rules for the ways
women could talk about men and different rights.
Speaker 10 (18:54):
I'm sure if there were female firefighters giving hotty guys
a joy ride.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
They'd be in just as much trouble. Maybe it. I'm
not saying they wouldn't be that. There you go, Thank
you very much, Jacqueline Carl. Well, you know what, we
didn't get a lot of time to talk about the
big beautiful bill. So we will when we come right back.
And can you believe it came? Jeffries is still talking.
(19:20):
This is a filibuster, not a speech. Luckily he's getting.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Water rising, food and utility costs and maintain.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I can't take it. I can't take the pauses. Luckily,
I saw he was getting water, so he's gonna have
to pea sometime when we come back. Hopefully he's not
doing it then. Uh, will the Big Beautiful Mill Bill
make it? On the fourth of July the latest next
and you want to add to the conversation, leave us
a talk back. Go to seven ten wor on the
iHeartRadio app and click the microphone and when you're there,
(19:52):
put seven to ten WOAR on your presets. Plus you
could win a limited edition Mente in the Morning t shirt,
which will be awarded every day to our favorite talk
back of the morning. Well, the Big Beautiful Bill is
still being debated. They say they're gonna vote today, but
that would mean that Hakeem Jefferies would have to stop talking.
He's been up there. I think he's been there an
(20:14):
hour now since they had a procedural vote that went
well for the Republicans and they know this is going
to pass. Now, the Big Beautiful Bill will pass, It'll
get out of the House. The President will get it tomorrow.
He'll be able to sign it like he wanted. On
the fourth of July. So the Republicans in both the
Senate and House did a great job with this bill
and getting it through and shepherding it through. Mike Johnson,
(20:36):
great job, John Thune, great job. Hakeem Jefferies is just
being a baby right now. This is a baby fit
he's throwing. He's gonna take up as much time as
he possibly can. So what he's doing right now is
fill the bustering. As a matter of fact, I didn't
notice it before. He's got a script in front of
him and there there must be another one hundred pages
(20:59):
in that script can get to yet, and the way
he talks, the way he talks is it's going to
take forever because he he has longer pauses than he
has words. Here, let's just tap in one more.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Time, represented by Congressman Jared Golden. Thankful for Congressman Golden service.
He served this nation with distinction overseas and it's come
back home. Yes, serve this nation in the United States.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
And then what Congress, there you go? Casey writes, yes,
what go ahead?
Speaker 4 (21:37):
As a single mom of two young children, two and
non profit professional in rural Maine. Okay, so go, Casey
and her children rely on medicaid and snap to live
their lives.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Okay, all right, we can't take it.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
The resources and stability.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Provided by cash please. I guess I just can't take
the way he talks. I can't believe there are people.
Look at the if you bighty chance, are at a computer,
look at the people behind him. You know this is
just torture. This is torture, and they have to sit there.
I did notice that Frank Polone from New Jersey got
(22:18):
up and left, which I think is funny, and they
filled his seat immediately because he was right behind them.
They couldn't have an empty seat, so they filled his
seat immediately. So this poor aid that they was yanked
out of an office to fill in the seat for
Frank Polone has to sit and listen to this. I
can't take. I can't take Minority Leader jeffries In even
(22:41):
a twenty second SoundBite, because you have to edit it
together or you're gonna have dead air. Can you imagine
having to sit through a couple of hours of this
guy and all the Democrats have to sit there. They
all have to sit there. Anyway, Let's get to somebody.
Let's get Mike Johnson, because Mike Johnson is doing an
(23:02):
incredible job in herding cats. And he had a lot
of people four that were definitely going to vote No.
Four and he can only lose three and then ate
another nine that had real problems. So he's been working hard,
and so is the President in trying to hurt all
these cats and getting to to this point, and now
(23:25):
it looks like the bill's going to pass.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
We're working through.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Everybody's issues and making sure that we can secure this vote.
I feel very positive about the progress.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
So I want to go back and forth real quick,
from Democrat to Republican, Democrat to Republican, Democrat to Republican.
And the reason I want to do that is because
it gets silly, doesn't it. It gets silly. If you
listen to the Democrats, it's the worst bill that was
ever written. And if you listen to the Republicans, it's
a miracle bill. It's going to do incredible things.
Speaker 12 (23:54):
If I vote no on this, I'm voting to raise
income taxes on everyone by about percent. And I'm a Republican,
a conservative. I don't want to raise people's taxes.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
That's representative Bacon. He was a no, and then they
convinced him by telling him that that if you go
ahead and vote no, it is going to make taxes
go up about twenty percent for individuals. I don't think
a lot of people. They've been saying this for a
while while, but I don't think it's sunk into a
lot of people if they don't get this bill passed
and the next week a tax sit goes through that
(24:27):
Biden put through as a poison pill for the next administration. Oh,
here's Frank Polone talking about how horrible the bill is.
Speaker 13 (24:35):
This is the most shameful bill that I've ever seen.
It takes healthcare away from seventeen million people in order
to give giant tax breaks to billionaires and large corporate interests.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
First of all, that's lie and lie. It's not going
to be seventeen million. Even the CBO doesn't say seventeen million.
But it is going to be a lot of people,
and it's going to be people that have been bilking
the system because they they can work, and they are
many of them young adults, not all of them, but
many of them young adults who can work, and they're
(25:07):
just sucking off the system. It's fraud. It's not supposed
to be for them, So there's a requirement they have
to work. Now, that's part of it. The other one
is there's going to be millions of people. They're here illegally,
they've been getting medicaid, and we have to take away
that incentive or we're going to keep dealing with this problem.
Let's get something good.
Speaker 14 (25:27):
This bill gives the average working family a thirteen hundred
dollars tax cut and makes permanent the one ninety nine
a small business deduction to keep our economy humming.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Right, There's going to be so many, so much good
in this for the working person and for the elderly.
How about the fact that there's no tax on Social Security? Now,
how about the fact that there's no tax on tips
or overtime. But the real reason that the Republicans that
were not going to vote yes on this is because
(25:58):
they got a call from the President and they don't
want to be primaried. Because this president is one of
the most popular presidents in history among Republicans.
Speaker 15 (26:09):
So this isn't just Republicans who like Donald Trump. This
is Republicans who love Donald Trump. And he's up like
a rocket.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Look at this.
Speaker 15 (26:17):
In July twenty seventeen, the strongly approved with fifty three percent.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
But look at where he is now.
Speaker 15 (26:22):
Sixty three percent of Republicans strongly approve of the job
that Donald Trump is doing about five months into his presidency.
Republicans love Donald Trump the way that Americans love Disney
World love Harriet.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
And remember that's the ones that strongly love him, the
ones that approve of him. That goes into the ninety percent.
So nobody's taking him on. How about this? The Reverend
aw Sharpton weighs in on the mayoral race and makes
a surprising plea for one candidate to drop out. We'll
tell you who that is next. And our iHeartRadio Music
(26:59):
Festival is back September nineteenth and twentieth in Las Vegas.
Two big nights, one big stage, live performances by Brian Adams,
John Fogerty, Sammy Hagar, Ed Sheer and Maroon Five and
many more. There's acts being added every single day, and
now's your chance to buy tickets. You have to go
to AXS dot com AXS dot com get him now
(27:21):
before they sell out. Well, Kim Jefferies is still talking,
trying to fellow buster the Big Beautiful Bill he's now
been going for two hours. He must have Corey Booker envy,
and that's what he's trying to do to be the
new Corey Booker. Maybe take his slot, do you. I
don't think he can go that long. I'm not sure that.
(27:45):
Like Corey Booker did, Corey Booker kept taking breaks to
let someone else speak for him. I don't think he's
allowed to from where he's talking from. I think in
the Senate, when you're up in front of the Senate,
you can do it. I'm not sure sure he's going
to be able to do that. So he has to
stay there the entire time. And as I noticed before,
(28:05):
he's been drinking water. So my feeling is he's gonna
have to go to the bathroom sometime. And but he's
got a big thick binder in front of him where
he's gonna keep talking. Can we tap him just one
more time?
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Half of that great state. I'm a fifty seven year
old man. Oh god, he's living in central Minnesota. I
am a Type one insulin dependent diabetic, all right, all.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Right legally, But see here's he's gonna do. He's gonna
start reading letters. That's gonna fill some time. Let's talk
about some local politics for a second. Al Sharpton has
weighed in on the mayor O Rays and it's really
interesting he's taking a take. I don't think you would
have expected, well, this you might have expected.
Speaker 16 (28:53):
I think that if de Mandandy wanted anybody to help
his campaign, he should went down with Trump to talk
every day in the terms that he talked to Ferrick Adams,
because that is absolutely something that the voters will shun
up one a political favor, right.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
I think he's exactly right about that. I think the
more that Donald Trump talks and attacks Mom Donnie, the
better it is for Mom Donnie. Although he said, yeah,
I think he does that on purpose to tell you
the truth. Ah, you're talking about Sharpton. Yeah, no, let
me play that again at the beginning, because if you noticed,
(29:36):
he doesn't know how to say his name, and he the.
Speaker 16 (29:40):
I think that if the Mandanny wanted anybody to help him,
because she wanted Donald Trump to talk.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
But he's right about Donald Trump. I wish Donald Trump
would just stay out of this election only and I
know he can't help himself, but only because he's going
to affect the election. Just because there's so many Democratic
voters that don't like him unless he, you know, comes
out and strongly for Curtis Lee, which I don't think
he's ready to do. He's talking about Eric Adams. But
here's the really fascinating part about the Al Sharpton interview
(30:13):
is that he thinks, as many other people have said,
including Hank shankof on Our Era. As a matter of fact,
he was the first person I heard say that that
he believes there should be a coalition that other candidates
should drop out. Now, some people said Curtis Lee, we
should drop out, which I don't think is going to
be effective because that's Republican voters and they may just
(30:35):
stay home. But this is an interesting one.
Speaker 16 (30:38):
I think Andrew Cuomo should look at what is best
for the city and let them have a one on
one race.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
He's forgetting Curtis leeber completely right there, but what he
wants is Eric Adams to go at it against Mom
Donnie and I actually think that's a brilliant strategy. And
I think that's what Cuomo's thinking about now. Even though
he left his name on the line, he hasn't come
out and said I am withdrawing from the race and
(31:11):
Adams certainly is acting like he's taking on Mandania and
that's it. And so it is fascinating. It's fascinating what's
going to be happening over the next month. But I
do believe there's going to be a coalition, and I
don't think Eric Adams is dropping out. So I think
(31:31):
the reluctance you're hearing from Cuomo right now is he's
weighing his options and what's in it for him if
he drops out. But I don't think that Cuomo is
going to stay in the race, and I think he's
not going to stay in the race to help Eric
Adams win the race, because now people are starting to
come back to Eric Adams. Isn't politics a funny thing?
(31:52):
He was out of it just a month ago and
now he's back. Let's talk more about one of the
big stories of the day, the big utiful bills. One
of them Sean Diddy is the other one. He may
be the happiest man in jail right now, not guilty
on the most serious charges. We'll talk to Peter Haralambus
about it after the seven o'clock News
