Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now it's minty in the morning. Long the voice of
New York seen double r. Hey, we made it to Friday. Congratulations.
It's gonna be a hot one though, if you can
stay inside, stay inside, don't go out. Yeah at a
work site, you know, beg them to let you off earlier.
Just go home because it's gonna be oppressively hot out there.
(00:24):
Might break a record. The high is expect to get
to ninety five in Central Park, which is the area
they use for the records, and the record in Central
Park is ninety seven, so we're gonna be close to that,
but it's the heat index. We're gonna be talking to
Ray Stager coming up. He's gonna give us an extended
forecast and talk all about this in about ten minutes.
(00:45):
In the meantime, in the Big Three, Julane Maxwell spills
the beans that convicted sex traffick are now serving a
twenty year sentence in Florida, answered questions for hours about
Jeffrey Epstein and his clients, which is all very upsetting
to the women who were victimized as teenagers.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I think that to be told that suddenly she's being
brought to the table as a potential source of information
when she's previously been charged with perjury by the government.
Is very confusing and unsettling.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Former Congressman George Santo reports to Santos reports to a
low security prison today, or as he calls it, camp,
after his plea for a pardon from Donald Trump failed.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I don't think it made it to the president. Unfortunately,
gatekeepers have blockaded for ever getting to the President.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
The Trump administration is suing New York City for its
sanctuary city policies in the wake of a Customs and
Border Patrol agent being shot in the face by two
assailants with long rap sheets. In just two years.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
He was arrested four different times in New York City
and because of the mayor's policies and sanctuary city policies,
was released back to do harm to people into individuals
living in this city. Make no mistake, this officer is
in the hospital today fighting for his life because of
the policies of the mayor of the city.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Mayor Adams is the first name listed on the federal
lawsuit against the city, despite a relationship he's been able
to garner with Donald Trump. A young police officer in
Suffolk County is shot in the face while serving a
search warrant at the home of a murder suspect in
North Bay Shore.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
So I spoke to him a little while ago. He's
got a smile on his face. I think he's in
a lot of pain, but I think he understands that, yeah,
this could have gone a lot worse.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
So I think, you know, he's happy to be alive,
and we're happy that he is alive. Last week check,
they still haven't released his name, but we do know.
He's thirty three years old. He's been on the force
for two years, and he served in the Army as
a medic. After blasting blasting the FED Chairman Jerome Powell
for not lowering in risk rates, President Trump made the
rare move of visiting the Federal Reserve, and pro wrestling
(03:08):
has lost its greatest Starmania again.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
What Topamania Night great Again?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
That's hul Cogan at the Republican National Convention in twenty twenty.
He died of a heart attack at seventy one years old.
And another celebrity death, great musician Chuck mangi Owned is
dead at the age of eighty four. But let's start
off by talking about this lawsuit against the city, and
(03:39):
it's a lawsuit that I'm surprised hasn't been filed before.
It just makes so much sense, especially with what's happening
across the country and make and don't be confused about this.
If you're thinking to yourself, well, why New York, Why
don't they do it in Chicago, Why don't they do
it in La Why don't they do it all over
the country. They need to establish this first. This is
(04:00):
a federal lawsuit, and so if it passes, if they
find in favor of the Justice Department, then yes, it's
going to affect sanctuary cities all across the country. And
the crux of the lawsuit, it's a thirty seven page
lawsuit filed yesterday that is filed against the city, specifically
Mayor Adams and the city Council. What it says in
(04:22):
it is that you can't have a local law like
sanctuary cities, that conflicts with federal law, that deems federal
law ineffective or just nil. And this is a supremacy clause.
It's found in Article six of the US Constitution. So
(04:45):
it's established in the US Constitution that federal laws are
the supreme law of the land. What does that mean.
This means that when state laws or city laws conflict
with federal law, the federal law takes precedence. This principle,
by the way, made it in the first few articles
(05:10):
because it is a foundational structure to the US federal government,
and it helps ensure unified legality. In other words, it
gets rid of chaos. In other words, it gets rid
of cities and states deciding they don't like a federal
(05:31):
law and we're just going to make our own law.
And there is no better example of that than sanctuary cities.
Sanctuary cities prevent ice officers from carrying out federal law.
I know that they've written sanctuary city laws so specifically
(05:52):
that they say, we're just not going to help you,
We're just not going to help you do your job.
But what is happen now is that crime has run
a monk in these large cities. Now it's down now
because of ice ice doing the job that the NYPD
should be doing, or San Francisco should be doing, or
(06:15):
you know, or the criminal justice system specifically, maybe not
NYPD because they make the arrest. It is the criminal
justice systems in all of these liberal blue states that
just release people back onto the streets so they can
commit crimes again. Yeah, the NYPD, I shouldn't have said that.
They make the arrest. They make the arrest over and
(06:36):
over again, and they must be just as frustrated as
Christinom is because they arrest the bad guy, they put
him into the legal system, and he's back on the
street time and time again. It's not just after one.
I can see maybe bail reform for your first offense,
but if you got a second offense, you go to jail.
But now what has happened is that the Sanctuary City
(06:59):
Law Act victually hinders ICE from doing their job because
they are blocking ICE from getting into prisons and facilities.
And that is the crux of this lawsuit. Allow us
in to rikers, allow us into prisons across the country
so that we can do our job. And it's fascinating
(07:23):
to me that Christy Noms specifically talked about the mayor.
If you've noticed most of the Trump administration, especially Tom Homan,
has been hands off with Mayor Adams because he's worked
with the administration, not Christy Noms.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
He was arrested four different times in New York City,
and because of the Mayor's policies and sanctuary city policies
was released back to do harm to people into individuals
living in this city. Make no mistake, this officer is
in the hospital today fighting for his life because of
the policies of the mayor of the city.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Wow, that was pretty direct, and by the way, the
lawsuit is pretty direct. They're fed up, even though the
mayor says, well, that's just playing wrong. I have nothing
to do with the rules that are put in place.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
I just carry out the rules. Rules are. If you're
in the city of New York, you have a right
to Services'll go to the hospital.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Educate your children.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
You have a right to get police services if need be.
When you're doing analysis of this case, we arrest people.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
You ever notice he loves the word analysis. He uses
the word analysis all the time. I think so he
can sound smarter, but it just when you use a
word like that so much and out of context, it
has the exact opposite effect. He has tried to play
both sides of the sanctuary city controversy and it's not
(08:51):
working for him because he's got to take a stand.
He has to come out and say, look, sanctuary cities
have made this city unsafe. As a former cop, I'm
fed up with police officers getting attacked in Times Square.
I'm fed up at police officers have to dealing with
your mess, what you've created over and over again. And
(09:11):
I'm fed up with federal officers. A federal officer getting
shot in the face when he's just trying to enjoy
your night out. I'm fed up with all of this.
That's what the mayor has to do. He can't keep
playing both sides of this fence. And so good for
Christy Nome, and good for the federal government for taking
on the city of New York, and good for Tom
(09:33):
Homan for sending more ice officers after the problem with
a police officer with a cb P officer getting shot.
Sanctuary cities are sanctuaries for criminals, heart stop, bottom line,
That's what it is. And the President Trump made a
commandment a couple weeks ago that we're going to prioritize
sanctuary cities right and flood the zone. And there's a
(09:54):
lot more ice officers here today than there were last week.
You can go to the iHeartRadio app and leave us
a talk back on this. You could win a limited
edition MENSI in the Morning t shirt, which is going
to be awarded every single day to our favorite talk
back in the morning. And while you're on the free
iHeartRadio app, be sure to set a preset for seven
to ten wor As we talked about dangerous heat today,
(10:15):
we're going to get an extended forecast from meteorologist Race
Stagic next plus tickets to see Kat Stevens at the
Beacon Theater at eight twenty five. Stay with us. Welcome back.
You heard Ray Stagic earlier give the forecast, and you
know it's going to be hot today, dangerously hot today.
Let's get some specifics on that and get an extended forecast.
(10:37):
Race Stagic is gracious enough to join us once again.
Good morning, Ray, how are you?
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I'm dude, okay, how are you not bad?
Speaker 1 (10:44):
It's going to get hot. I understand, yeah, I mean
we're already there.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I mean it's been upper seventies across the five Burrows
this morning, most of them anyway, Central Park seventy six,
seventy seven right now, a parts of the island, western
parts of Long Island, and you get out into Queen's
I've got seventy eight, beach Hurst seventy nine at LaGuardia
a little cooler as you get to the south shore
where temperatures are influenced a little bit by uh, by
(11:12):
the water, but you get the picture, warm, humid, hot,
close to records today, I think Central Park's ninety seven
LaGuardia is ninety seven. We're gonna make a run at
those numbers too, And with the humidity, it's gonna feel
over one hundred.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
So uh.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Kind of one of those days where if you just
keep it indoors, get the ac on, that's probably your
best bet.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah, and who has to be careful? I've covered so
many heat waves in my career. It usually it's a
couple of days that you have to get really concerned about.
But are there people that should be watching out and
taking care today?
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
I mean it's funny because I had this conversation with
somebody yesterday in the office where we were talking about, well,
you know, if you're outdoors and you're in this heat,
I mean, shouldn't you not be out there? Because I
was saying, you know, I was out moll in the
grass and this and that and only to the front.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
You know.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
The bottom line is it's the elderly those that are
sensitive to you know, some of these hotter air masses
when I think most individuals, you'd think would use a
little common sense and they know what they can handle, right,
And that's what I tell everybody. But you certainly want
to keep in the elderly and the pets and the
young kids first. And if you're outdoors and you notice
(12:20):
yourself like feeling hot but you're not sweating, that's a
sign that maybe it's time to give it up and
just go inside and get yourself cool anyway you can too.
So you know, I usually try to err on the
side of most people, and I would say most Larry
kind of know what they can handle. Like I myself
the other day, I was out there in the heat
and I was kind of like, you know what, I
think this is enough. I'm starting to feel a little more.
(12:42):
I wouldn't say like dizzy or just uncomfortable. I think
uncomfortable as the word. You're just kind of like, you
know what, I've probably had enough. Let me go in
and I could take care of the rest of this
at another time. So it's not like we're going to
be stuck in this for a prolonged period of time.
The Heat Advisory then also the air quality alert for
today only with mid nineties and the heating necks nearer
(13:02):
just above one hundred. And then the FRONTA comes through
later today, shower storms, some of them could have a
little bit of a punch to them. Then by tomorrow
it's gonna be pretty normal day, partial sun in middle eighties.
As we get into next week, though, we could have
another stretch of upper eighties, low nineties from Monday through Wednesday.
I'm gonna give you a little teas though, there is
later next week the potential for a very pleasant air
(13:26):
mass to come in here late next week where we're
gonna have some much cooler temperatures. So hang on. It
doesn't mean we're completely done with summer, but one of
these fronts now is we get into August. When we
get these cooler days, you start thinking about, well, maybe
fall is right around the corner. Now I'm not talking
like Santa Claus and jingle bells yet. Yeah, we're talking
about fall type of weather right.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Well, you're shocking me. This is so, this is not
raised agic? Are you I have to drag it out
of you to go past a couple of days? Are
you unbelievably confident about this that we're not fall in August.
Oh boy, Okay.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Well I would go fall, but you know some people
I don't even know if you were paying attention earlier
in the week in the Adirondacks. It was thirty four
at sarah Neck Lake the other morning earlier in the week,
so that we've already had in the North Country a
little hint maybe a fall, and we're just saying that
temperatures are gonna be cool and everybody's gonna be late
next week into next weekend kind of be like, well,
(14:24):
this isn't bad compared to what we're getting today. I
think that's my kind of reference. Compared to today, what
may come later next week is gonna feel real nice.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Yeah, I missed that. I usually do check the Adirondacks
temperatures in August, but I guess I missed it this time.
Thanks thanks for pointing me out to me. I really
appreciate it. Thanks a lot, Ray, Thanks for spending time
with us a little bit extra. I appreciate it. Let's
get a real quick talk back in if we could,
only because I know you want to one a T shirt.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
Listen, I'm real happy about that law suit it's a
long time coming. And I'll tell you the first guy
on that list is the correct guy. It was Eric
Adams that started it all. He was the first one
to bring up sanctuary city.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
He literally invited.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
The migrants to come to New York City, all the
hotel deals, all of it.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
All Adams.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Let's not forget that. No part of that's true. The
part about him, I remember him at the buses, you know,
with coffee, remember that, welcoming everybody in, and so, yeah,
you're absolutely right about that. He was all in until
he found out how much it was going to cost,
you know, seven million dollars. It's more than that now,
it's about up till about ten million dollars. But the
(15:43):
sanctuary cities have been around before Eric Adams. He just
never fought hard enough against them and always blamed others.
In your car or on the iHeartRadio app Save Time,
set a brise apt for Minty in the morning.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Now back Larry Minty on wo R.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Well, for six hours, Julaane Maxwell was spilling the beans.
She was talking there. Apparently she answered every single question.
And they're going to have a part two today. Todd
Blanche is going to be back talking to her again today,
and she is giving up a whole lot of information
about Jeffrey Epstein and what went on at Pedophile Island
(16:28):
and this whole story and is not going away. As
much as the Trump administration tried to satisfy those with
little bits a piece of information and a commitment to
go after the grand jury testimony, I think people are
demanding a whole lot more than that. And the Republicans
(16:50):
in Congress, and it's not just the far right ones,
not just the ones that the normal ones. It's that
you hear from that that break from the rest of
the crowd that are willing to do something that Donald
Trump doesn't want them to do. They're few and far between,
but it's not just them anymore. It isn't. It's people
(17:13):
like powerful people like James Comer.
Speaker 7 (17:17):
I told Speaker Johnson last week, if we were in
session this week that Republicans on the Oversight Committee, we're
going to move to be more aggressive and trying to
get transparency with the Epstein file. So we did that,
and I think that's what the American people want.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Yeah, I think it's more and more what the American
people want. And Representative Pete Sessions from Texas said something
that I hadn't thought of before, because there's been a
lot of talk about, well, you know, you can't release
the names because it's just accusations and nobody's been at
(17:53):
a court of law. And Pete's Session says, well, wait
a second, that's not all we have. Do we have
enough to expose these people for what they are to
think that there couldnot be a client list.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
Someone looked at those hundreds of hours of tapes and
recognized people, and so I think that we're playing a
game with each other.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Didn't think of that before. So what he's saying is,
even though there's no actual list of clients, like everybody
thought there was, as Dershowood said, he's seen it all,
and there's no list of clients. And even though the
names do come up in accusations and in depositions with
some of the young women, it doesn't matter because there's
(18:42):
all this video of them, sex tapes of these perverts,
these pedophiles with underage girls. They're there to be identified
and the crime is obvious. They're in the act of
the crime, and why don't we release their names? Because
(19:06):
what are they gonna do? How are they going to
fight back. They paid to have sex with underage girls,
and there's video of that, hundreds of hours of video
of that. And for some reason, it sounds to me
as if some powerful people got a hold of people
(19:28):
in the Trump administration and said no, no, no, you
can't release that. I used to believe, as you know
you've heard me say a million times, I used to
believe that it was the lawyers in the Justice Department.
They came forward and said, no, you can't release this.
It puts us at legal jeopardy, will be tied up
in courts for the next decade. But if you have
them in the act, if you have the video of that,
(19:50):
and you can identify these people, they deserve to be exposed.
And in the meantime, Julaane Maxwell is talking and talking
and talking and answered every question. And the thing is,
nobody's even tried to talk to her before.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
This is the first time the government has asked questions.
So we were thankful that the Deputy Attorney General came
and asked her questions the first time the government did it.
So so it's it was a good day.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
That's he was there the entire time for the interview.
That's David Marcus, who is the attorney for Julaane Maxwell,
and he said he never objected to a question, and
that Julaane Maxwell answered every single question.
Speaker 8 (20:38):
We're not going to comment on the on the substance,
but there were a lot of questions and we went
all day and she answered every one of them. She
never just said I'm not going to answer, never declined.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
And there's a very brave girl in the background of
all of this who is watching very carefully, who was
extremely significant in the prosecution of Julaane Maxwell. Her name
is Annie Farmer, and she was taken advantage of by
Epstein and by Julaine Maxwell when she was sixteen years old.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
There are political figures that are involved, and because of that,
it is being used for political purposes right now. But
I think that ultimately the reason that so many people
care about this case is because it's something that so
many people can relate to, which is the abuse of power.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Yeah, and the abuse of young women. Not all of
us can relate to that, but all of us can
find that abhorrentt And she's upset that she believes a
deal is being struck with Julayne Maxwell, and she wants
everyone to know. No, no, no, she was more involved
than just a sidekick.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
She was the one who asked me to undress, she
was the one who exposed my chest. She's the one
who touched me. And I think that that was not unusual.
I mean that was something that came out in her
trial and one of the things that she was found
guilty of. If you you know, the Department of Justice
is clear on that that she herself is a sexual
press editor who has participated in this abuse. She's not
(22:02):
a victim.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Like everything else about this case, they're trying to keep
everything a secret, including these interviews, and they're going to
continue today six hours yesterday, who knows how many hours
there are going to be today. So she's spilling the beans.
She's telling everything right now, and as you heard from
her attorney, she didn't pass on one question, are you
(22:26):
going to be able to see that? Will that all
be out unredacted? Can we see that? That's something we
have to watch. And the other question is what kind
of deal did she get to do this. There's no
possible way that she just said yes, why would she
(22:51):
if she has a good attorney, they're going to say, well,
let's cut a deal. Let's cut a deal. She has
twenty years, can you give her ten? Now, you know,
can we go to a lower security prison. There's many
things you can ask for, and my feeling is that
the administration said yes. And to the victims, to these
(23:11):
young girls now women, that's well, unsettling is too soft
a word.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I think that to be told that suddenly she's being
brought to the table as a potential source of information
when she's previously been charged with perjury by the government
is very confusing and unsettling.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Yes, it's unsettling that they're talking to her. It's devastating
that they might be able to strike a deal. And
that is exactly the word she used. Listen, if you
want to leave us a talk back about this, go
to the iHeartRadio app and look for seven to ten
wor on the app and just leave us a talk back.
We would love to hear from you. Well, two men
(23:55):
were able to break free from their niche professions into
the mainstream. They both died on the same day. We're
going to talk about Hulk Hogan and Chuck Mangione next. Well,
the emergency phone call came in in clear Water, Florida, yesterday,
(24:19):
and little did they know when they went to the house,
it was the house of Hulk Hogan was discovered.
Speaker 9 (24:25):
At that time Terry Boleya, also known as Hulk Hogan,
was experiencing a serious medical related issue. Personal provided medical
treatment at that time and transported mister Bolaya to Morton
Planned Hospital, where he died at eleven seventeen am.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yeah, died at eleven seventeen am. Hulk Hogan changed the
sport of wrestling. He became bigger than the sport there
for a while. I know some people take exception to
it being called a sport, but whatever you want to
call it, Hulk Hogan was the greatest pro wrestler of
all time. He became more famous than the sport itself.
(25:05):
There's been ever other since then. Jesse Ventura and there
of course is the Rock and you know several others,
but that the mold was hul Cogan. He was so
big that they put him in Rocky three.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
Good match, And why'd you get so crazy on me
out there? That's the name of the game.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Well thissten, while you're still conn we get that ball
right together?
Speaker 5 (25:31):
Yeah, sure that.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I don't know if you remember the scene in Rocky
three when they were going to have this match for
charity between a wrestler and between Rocky and you know,
he thought it was we'll just dance around a little bit,
I'll punch you a couple of times, maybe you can
throw me on the ground. And then he picked him
up and he threw him in the crowd. It was
a great scene. And then afterwards, hul Cogan comes over
(25:54):
to him and says, hey, nice match, And that's what
you just heard there a second ago. But the fact
that or a franchise as big as Rocky was to
choose Hulk Hogan kind of shows you how big he
was at the time. Now, he did have a you know,
he had a problem there for a while because he
(26:15):
was put in the Wrestling Hall of Fame and had
to be taken out of it because he was caught
on cameras saying a couple of racist things, which he
has apologized for time and time and time again. To
the point where he was starting to make a resurgence.
And as a matter of fact, you might remember him
at the Republican National Convention and they.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Tried to kill the next president of the United States.
Enough was enough, said Tapamania run while Brother lu Chapamania
rule again? What Tapamania? Knight Enocha cry again?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Ah? And you hear the crowd, they loved them. They
ate it up. One last thing I want to play
because he dealt with this all the time. Because it
became so big, he became the face of pro wrestling,
and he was asked constantly if the sport is fake?
Speaker 9 (27:10):
Fake implies that the punches don't hurt and he never
get injured, and the people that have given up their
bodies and actually their personal lives.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
And everything is fake and it's not.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
It's reel as it gets.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
Isn't it amazing to.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Hear him his real voice and then to hear his
performing voice. They were completely two separate people and real
quick and now so he was in a fringe sport
and people said it wasn't even a sport that broke
through to the mainstream. And so did another person that
died yesterday. How many songs without words does everybody know?
(27:48):
Immediately feel so good by Chuck Mangion And Natalie and
I were talking today when we heard it, and we're going,
wait a second, what show was that in? I mean,
because you hear it all the time. What commercial was that.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
I thought it was a promo for like some Channel
eleven or nine, like you know, movie at ten.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I thought it was a theme song to a show.
But apparently it has been around and everywhere so much.
Everybody gets that feeling about it that oh, wait a second,
I've heard that before, and you did hear it before
because it's played everywhere. Chuck Mangione crossed over from jazz
to the mainstream dead at eighty four, but that song
(28:33):
is certainly going to live on.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Well.
