So did you hear ray stage of just a second ago?
Listen to this. So today thunderstorms possible, Tonight thunderstorms possible,
Tuesday thunderstorms possible, Wednesday thunderstorms possible, Thursday thunderstorms possible, Friday
thunderstorms possible. Showers and thunderstorms possible every single day, and
a lot of that's because of the humidity. So it's
gonna be it's gonna be a strange week. It's gonna
(00:23):
be sticky, and then we might have some severe thunderstorms
every once in a while. But I've looked ahead because
I thought to myself, what could possibly be a good sign,
what could possibly be good in this focusing? No, no, no,
locus would be a bad sign. That's exactly the opposite.
(00:45):
But Saturday and Sunday it seems like it's gonna be
cloudy with no rain.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Okay, so that's good.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah, and eighty degrees okay, so that's not too bad.
I mean, after the week, we're going to be through
with it. But you know, it's way ahead, he extended forecaster.
No good whatsoever, especially when it goes by a past
a couple of days. But for right now, there's hope
that We're after you get through, after you suffer through
this week, you're going to have a decent weekend in
(01:15):
the Big Three. Today, just a horrific story death and
destruction in central Texas in the wake of a once
in a century flood. People have die, kids have died.
We're still finding people out here. We have to rebuild
because what else do we have about here?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
We have nothing.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Literally, Yeah, they're still searching for bodies. They're saying, now, well,
there's reports of eighty two. Now I just started to
report of eighty it's several are missing, including twelve children,
because it was campsites all along the river in central Florida.
Jim Ryan is in Texas covering the flooding. We'll talk
with him at nine oh five. Well, the Big Beautiful
(01:57):
Bill is now law, and after all the fear mongering
by the Democrats, the Big Beautiful Bill will be the
law of the land and we'll see its benefits.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
On this vote, the Yaser two hundred and fifteen, the
Naser two hundred fourteen, With one answering present, the bill
is passed.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah, and then they started channing USA. Now after getting
this bill passed, Donald Trump said he will do everything
he can to prevent Zorin Mamdani from becoming Mayor of
New York City.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
As President of the United States, I'm proclaiming here and
now that America is never going to be Communist in
any way shape.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Form, and that includes New York City.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
In Israel, there is great hope now for a ceasefire
with a moss that would release ten living hostages and
the bodies of eighteen others, and maybe afterwards real peace talks.
Speaker 7 (03:01):
Assist fire means choosing life.
Speaker 8 (03:04):
Assist fire means choosing life.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Oh, I thought he had more to say. I I
thought it was like Hakeem Jeffries, it was just gonna
be a long pause, and that he was gonna continue.
We have Jordana Miller coming up at six point thirty
five to explain what's going on right now because Hamas
has accepted the ceasefire and Benjamin nettan Yahoo is the
one that is stalling on it. We'll find out exactly
(03:29):
what's going up going on with Jordana in just about
a half an hour. And at the Coney Island Hot
Dog eating Contest, everything Old is New Again.
Speaker 9 (03:40):
Champion of the World, Joey Chestnut.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Joey Chestnuts down seventy hot dogs in ten minutes, but
that is short of his record of seventy six enough
to win. However, the Mustard Yellow Belt for the records
seventeenth time unbelievable. You can go to the iHeart Radio
app and leave us to talk back about any of
the things we're going to talk about today. And while
(04:08):
you're there on the free iHeartRadio app, be sure to
set a preset for seven to ten wor well. The
story of the day is out of Texas and the
flood that hit there. And I know if you're a
parent and you've sent your kids to camp, and if
your parent, chances are you sent your kids to some camp,
(04:31):
you can internalize this immediately. You think to yourself and
you worry, right when there are a certain age, especially,
you worry it they're gonna be okay. You want to
go visit the camp. You know you shouldn't. You try
to call all the time just to make sure everything's
all right. You worry, worry, worry, worry, and you trust
(04:51):
and you trust that they're going to be fine. And
to get the phone call and to hear that of flood,
the torrential rain hit in the middle of the night
and we can't find your son and daughter is maybe
the most terrific thing I could ever think happening to
(05:12):
a parent, because the idea that you left them off
at camp and you thought it was a wonderful thing,
and then they're just gone and you didn't get to
say goodbye, You didn't get to see them. The last
thing you remember is hugging them as they wanted to camp,
and then worrying, and then the worst happens.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I'm gonna cry because it's horrible. I'm standing ten minutes
from where.
Speaker 10 (05:38):
We were twenty four hours ago with the kids swimming,
having fun, and it's gone.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
It's all gone.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Kids didn't have a chance. When you look at some
of these campsites. Now you're gonna hear about campsites at
the river, but there were several campsites, some of them
are up higher. I'm sure the ones that got by
the river felt lucky. Oh my, get right by the river.
We get to govern the river all the time. But
it turns out that the kids that were up higher
were a little luckier.
Speaker 11 (06:08):
Our entire focus at this time is on the search
and reunification efforts for those remained unaccounted for. That is
where our energy, our resources, and our attention are directed.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, it's a massive search right now up and down
the river. And there's gonna be more rain today. That's
the horrible part of all of this. We'll get into
what happened in the second, but right now, I mean
the media, of course didn't back off, and we'll get
into that in a second. They were horrific. We're gonna
have to deal with this now with the national media
(06:42):
for a while, they've been horrific on every single story thing.
They can't not infuse politics on it, they can't not
infuse their hatred of trumpet Trump. Even in the worst moments,
they have to jump in and because they can't help themselves,
it's just a needy reaction. This is Trump's fault. Wait
do you hear Wait? Do I get to that part?
(07:04):
It's unbelievable. In the meantime, you have people suffering, you
have people hoping that their child is still alive, knowing
that there's a slim chance of that, and then you
have Greg Abbot, who's done a wonderful job in a tragedy, and.
Speaker 10 (07:19):
It was nothing short of horrific to see what those
young children went through, and we will remain one hundred
percent dedicated searching for every single one of the children.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Greg abb At, the governor, and Donald Trump has signed
an emergency order with what amounts to unlimited funding to
help Texas to rebuild and help them in their search
and rescue efforts. We're also hearing from some of the
children that survived.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
The flood started getting bigger and it was going up
to we have bunk beds in our cabins, and it
was going up to the top bunk and we had
one choice, and we had to swim out of our cabins.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Right. He was in along with his brother, who you're
gonna hear from in a second. They were in a
cabin a little bit higher. So, so if you think
about it, there's it's the river, and then you have
some campsites that are right next to the river and
they're they're just gone. They're destroyed. People that went back
and to look at it said there's nothing there. But
(08:24):
then you can go up. There's an elevated ground and
that's where these two boys were.
Speaker 7 (08:30):
Yeah, and some cabins like flooded flooded away, but nobody died, No.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
One died, you're thankful for that.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
Or on the way here we saw all of like
the other camps destroyed like oblorated.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
All right, now, let's get to the media in this.
All you should be doing when you cover this, and
I've covered so many too many tragedies in my life,
massive tragedies in my life, and all you should be
doing in this is talking about the recovery, the recovery,
the victims, the families of the victims. That's all you
(09:07):
should be concerned about at this moment. The media jumped
immediately to well, it's the Trump cuts, the federal budget cuts.
They didn't have a warning, and Homeland Security came out
immediately and said, the media is purposely lying about this.
We sent out a warning twelve hours before the flood,
(09:30):
and then we had alerts every half hour, and a
lot of the people that survived were because of those alerts,
because volunteer firefighters went through the area with a siren
and a loudspeaker telling people to get out of the area.
They did have a siren system that was not installed.
(09:54):
That was a state siren system, and one of the
reasons they didn't have the funding to put it together
because of the State Senate. This has nothing to do
with budget cuts in Washington. Both the National Weather Service
and Homeland Security has said that nothing to do with it.
They had all the alerts out, but the media couldn't
(10:17):
help itself and understand, until the midterms, we're gonna have
to deal with this almost every single day. Shame on them.
We'll have the latest coming up with Jim Ryan in
about two hours. The Dalai Lama celebrated his birthday and
that gives me an excuse to play one of the
greatest movie clips of all times. Stay with us. Wouldn't
(10:39):
it be great if you could reincarnate yourself? That's what
the Dawi Lama announced. No, he already said. He said
what it's going to be. He is going to be
a Tibetan Buddhist monk when he comes back. And so yeah, no,
he's already he's already said. I but I just think
(11:03):
it's amazing that you can just decide you're going to
do that and then know what you're going to be.
But he is. He is the Dalai Lama, and he
just celebrated his ninetieth birthday on Saturday. And in Tibet,
of course, everybody comes out. That's like a national holiday
in Tibet.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Do you think he'd want to switch it up and
be like a rock star or something exactly?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Because this isn't he a Tibetan monk already?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I mean, yeah, but I I for some reason I
think that he is. I'm trying to play something here.
There we go. That's the party, that's all. That's all
the people of Tibet coming out to celebrate.
Speaker 12 (11:50):
Well, if that's what a rock star is in Tibet,
I see why he didn't think of it.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Oh that's sweet. Listen to hell. It's amazing all those
people are in tune. You know.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I guess he's really satisfied with his life. Now. If
you come back and do the same thing again, that's great.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah. We just a quick story on I'm sure you
all know it. But he's been in Tibet since nineteen
fifty nine since being thrown out of China, and he's
loved by millions, including Yes, who was there. If you
had one guess as to the American that would have
shown up in Tibet for the birthday of the Dalai Lama,
(12:31):
who would it be?
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Richard Gear That's exactly what I was gonna say, Richard.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Gear, representatives from around the world come here to pay
their respects.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
You're one of the most extraordinary people who have ever.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Walked on this planet. Well, Richard Gear got a little
boring later in life, didn't he? That was?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
That was a Was he ever fascinating in person? Oh?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
He was? What was the one movie? He was in?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Movie? But like outside of the movies, I didn't ever
remember him being so riveting.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I really don't remember him outside of the movies. Maybe
that maybe that Maybe you're right, maybe it's because he
wasn't riveting. But I'll tell you what, this gives me
the excuse to do And that's the whole reason I
wanted to do the Dahli Lama is because it gives
me a chance to play one of my favorite, maybe
my favorite line ever in a movie. And here's the
(13:28):
amazing thing about it. And people already know what I'm
getting at. I think most people, and they already know
what I'm getting at, and it's it's from It's from
the movie Caddyshack, of course. And what I just found out,
which I did not know. I knew he had libbed
this part. Bill Murray didn't have one scripted line in
the whole movie. He ad libbed everything, including the time
(13:54):
when he was the caddie for the Dahli Lama and
after eighteen holes when it ended.
Speaker 8 (14:01):
So he finished eighteen and he's gonna stiff me.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
And I said, hey, Lama, hey, I about a little something,
you know, for the effort, you know, And he says,
oh uh, this won't be any money. But when you
die on your deskback, you will receive total consciousness.
Speaker 13 (14:24):
So I got that one.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Nice that makes the whole line the last way he said,
which is nice. But I didn't. I never knew that.
Did you know that he did? He lived the entire movie.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Because from what you would think, if he could do that,
he would write a script or direct or something.
Speaker 9 (14:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
No, I well, instead he just travels around the country
and goes to bars and crashes weddings and bar mitzvahs
and and and ask people if they can do their job.
He came to New York and asked some of the
cab drivers if he could drive the cab for a while.
He will join basketball and baseball games in process in
progress in Central Park or across the country. He's just
(15:09):
fascinating there's a whole website about people that spotted Bill
Murray and war He's a just a kind of a
fascinating guy. Now, let's get the news at six thirty
with Jacqueline Carl Jacqueline Good Morning.
Speaker 12 (15:20):
As severe flooding continues to impact Central Texas, a camp
where multiple people are still unaccounted for says the search
will continue. Camp Mystics said in a statement late Sunday
that it is continuing to work with local and state
authorities in the search for at least ten missing girls.
Flash flooding has killed at least eighty people across Central Texas,
(15:40):
and for a third day in a row, amid the
holiday weekend, a shark sighting temporarily closed a beach in
the Rockaways.
Speaker 8 (15:46):
The Parks Department cleared out Bach eighty third Street to
Beach one oh second Street on Sunday after a drone
spotted a shark in the waters. The water has remained
closed for around an hour following the sighting. It comes
amid a rash of shark sightings in the Right Away
since the beginning of the busy holiday weekend. Since the
beginning of Friday, six separate shark sightings have led to
water closures from Beach thirty second Street to Beach one
(16:09):
oh sixth Street. Jonathan o'halla and wor News.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
I wonder what the Dali Lama would think of this,
because sometimes things just happen that make you question the
concept of karma and fairness in life. At the end
of April, James Farthing cashed in a winning two dollars
lottery ticket he boored. He bought in Georgetown, Kentucky, a
ticket worth over one hundred and sixty seven million dollars.
(16:33):
Since then, a little bit more has been discovered about Farthing,
including he spent quality time and at least twenty five
different correctional facilities, spent almost thirty years in custody, and
has posed for more than forty mug shots for crimes
including assault, drugs, gambling, and loan sharking.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
It seems to me, though, that this guy needed to win.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
What do you think, Yes, he definitely needed a win.
That's kind of amazing. But m and it ticks me
off because I play the lottery all the time, right,
and and why don't I win? How, Natalie, you play the.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Lottery right only when it hits a billion?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Oh, you have a cut off.
Speaker 14 (17:11):
Because anything under a billion just wouldn't wouldn't be good.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Enough, right, you could know why?
Speaker 14 (17:16):
I mean, why don't I play when it's a million?
I'd be really happy with a million? Yeah, I know,
I'd be happy with one thousand dollars, but I don't.
I don't play because anytime I have never hit anything,
maybe on a scratch off ticket, have won ten dollars.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
That's the only thing I've ever won.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
So it's always somebody in a trailer in Kentucky that
gets it. I don't understand it.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
I think a radio producer from New York should run it.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I think so.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I hit for two hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I know, I'm impressed by that.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Wow, that must have been great. Was it a scratch off.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
And a lot of it was a lottery? I hit
five of the numbers. This was before it was for
a million.
Speaker 12 (17:57):
So it's almost like a bittersweet thing because you had
one more number, you'd be.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Rolling in it. But still two hundred thousand.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Did it have that power ball number or is that
before that?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
No, it didn't, I didn't.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
You didn't hit the power You're going one, yes, two, three?
I mean, what was what did that feel like heart?
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Right? Must do it like that. I didn't realize that
I had it. I had won for three weeks.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
But when you were I didn't look.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
At the number. I didn't look at the number.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
What made you look?
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Just you just found it in your pocket. You're like, oh, yeah, there's.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
An app where you just put it on there and
one or just scan the ticket and then it tells
you if you want or not. But I'll tell you
I told you the story before, Natalie, and that is
the fact that after if you buy a ticket and
win the lottery in another state and then you also
pay city tax, you get less than half.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
You got like enough for Starbucks.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Right exactly. No, it was significantly more than that. But still,
I mean, when you look at what you finally end
up with, when they're like, it's not two hundred thousand dollars,
it's like eighty seven thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
That nuts.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I was ready to give it back, right, Sure, you were,
thanks a lot, Natalie. Ceasefire talks continue amid deadly strikes.
ABC's Jordana Miller joins us from Jerusalem with the latest
on Israel's response, amasa's proposal, and what's at stake ahead
of Prime Minister net and Yahoo's White House visit. That's
(19:35):
all coming up. You know when we cover the war
on Israel that Jordana Miller ABC correspondent does well better
than anybody. I love to go to the Times of
Israel site to check on the very latest, and I
do it almost daily. And I just noticed at the
top it says Israel at war day six hundred and
(19:57):
forty and for some reason, and that stunned me that
it's been that long. But when you do the math there,
of course they're correct, but it just six hundred and
forty days they've been at war. That's, to me is stunning.
But let's get the latest, because we have a chance
at least for a ceasefire and hopefully at an end
to the war because of a peace proposal put out,
(20:21):
a ceasefire proposal put out by Donald Trump that Hamas
has agreed to. But they want something else after that,
and so the talks have been going on with them
in indirect talks in Doha. Let's get the latest from
Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. Jordana, so what is the latest.
Do we have a chance of a ceasefire?
Speaker 13 (20:43):
I think we do, and you know it's always folly
to make predictions, but you know, it looks like all
the ducks are kind of lining up, and we're certainly
the closest to a ceasefire that we've been in six
months since the last one in January. The Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Attannieo has now arrived in DC. He'll be
(21:06):
meeting with President Trump today as well as with his
envoy Steve Whitcoff and the Secretary of State Marco Rubio,
and they will be discussing, as you said, this latest
revised Gazza seafire proposal, which by the way, is just
a partial deal. Again, the idea is sixty days of quiet.
(21:30):
In this case, ten living hostages will come out. That's
half of the twenty that are believed to be alive.
A number of bodies about sixteen. Also about half of
the bodies including we expect two American bodies to come out,
to young Americans to come home for a proper burial,
(21:50):
aid to come back into the Gaza Strip, a redeployment
of the Israeli army out of population centers, and then
of course serious negotiations during those sixty days to end
the war. This is very similar to the agreement that
was on the table in March. That was you know,
that the sides had already agreed to that Israel broke.
(22:14):
Now looking back, that was likely connected to the Iran war, right,
Israel's war on Iran that none of us knew about
in March, but it was coming up. That's probably one
of the reasons. Now the Prime Minister did not keep
that ceasefire going. Now he is in a position and
we understand from sources around him that he's ready to
(22:38):
make a deal, as he said even himself before he
departed Israel on his terms. And there's still some outstanding disputes.
There's going to be a fight about where the Israeli
armies allowed to stay. There's going to be a fight
about the aid issue, the New Gods of Humanitarian Foundation,
(22:58):
a distribution site which as you know, have turned into
on the outskirts of these sites. Really daily dozens of
people are being killed by various parties, you know, including Israel,
including Hamas, including even some of the US contractors have
been firing on hungry Gossen's. There's going to be dispute
(23:19):
about whether that system stays in place or not, and
then a dispute about you know, how much of a
guarantee can President Trump give Hamas and the mediators that
Israel will not restart the war in sixty days after.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Jordana Miller reporting from Jerusalem. Jordana, I think you summed
everything up. Thank you so much. We'll check in again
hopefully when we talk. Yeah, a ceasefire. Thanks a lot, Jordanna.
That's pretty amazing. They're very close. I know Donald Trump
has said there was a good chance of the deal
this week that would see quite a few hostages released.
(23:56):
I know that he would love to make the announcement
with Yahoo at the White House. So I'm sure there's
a whole lot of pressure going on, as there is
pressure for other countries to join the Abraham Accord. All
of those things may be announced today or tomorrow when
(24:16):
Benjamin NETTYAO who visits the White House. So it's going
to be a big eventful week. In the meantime, when
it comes to the tariffs, Donald Trump is funny because
he just has gotten frustrated. So he said, there are
too many out there that I have to deal with
right now. We already have deals with twelve people and
(24:36):
I'm just going to now send out letters and said
this is the deal, take it or leave it.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
They could be maybe as many as fifteen or so,
and they'll be going out on Monday, and some will
go out.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
On Tuesday and Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
And he'll and we've.
Speaker 5 (24:49):
We've made deals also, so we're gonna have a combination
of letters and some deals have been made.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Isn't it amazing how much access we have to Donald Trump.
I mean, we would go days without having anything while
he was president from Joe Biden because he was laying
on the beach in Rehoboth, which was almost half of
his presidency. He was not only mentally not there, sometimes
he was physically not there. And this guy is like
(25:19):
the energy answer bunny that talks all the time. And
one of the other things he commented about over the weekend,
of course, was Elon Musk starting a independent third political
party called the American Party.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
And I think starting a third party just adds to confusion.
Speaker 13 (25:37):
It really seems to.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Have been developed for two parties. Third parties have never worked,
so he can have fun with it, but I think
it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Right. Ross Burow was the last one that was successful
he didn't get one electoral vote and got less than
twenty percent of the vote, so it is almost impossible.
But we'll see. Elon Musk has done the impossible before.
We'll just see if he can do it again. By
the way, we do want to hear from you leave
us a talkback anytime this morning on the iHeartRadio app.
(26:08):
Just go to seven ten WR and tap the microphone icon. Well,
Donald Trump, as you just heard from, is dealing with
a lot of things these days, but he still has
time to weigh in on the mayor's race in New
York and the dangers of zorin Mamdani. We'll talk about that,
and we have a new poll that is more than
a little concerning. That's all. Next, our iHeartRadio Music Festival
(26:31):
is back September nineteenth and twenty night so on one
big stage and live performances by, among others, Brian Adams,
John Fogerty, Ed Sheeran, Maroon Five, Sammy Hagar, many more.
Now's your chance to buy tickets. You just go to
AXS dot com AXS dot com get him now before
(26:54):
they sell out. So a new poll was out in
the mayoral race and it was kind of a shocking
call because it was a pro Eric Adams pole that
was put out on July fourth, and it had Eric
Adams running third. It had Mom Donnie ahead with about
forty percent, and then Cuomo with twenty six percent, and
he had nineteen percent, and so it was a It
(27:18):
was a pretty stunning pole only because two reasons. It
was an Eric Adams pole and it had him trailing
by a lot. It also didn't have Curtis Lee were
in there at all. And there's all these pushes right
now for Curtis Lee would drop out of the race
and support one of the other candidates to stop Mom Donnie.
And he's been extremely clear about this now.
Speaker 15 (27:39):
There is no way you would not do a coalition candidacy.
How could I work with a guy who is last
in the polls. That's Eric Adam was behind me, Andrew
Cuomo and Zoe run. Well, maybe Eric Adams should drop
out of this race. He's last in the polls, which
you joined forces with Andrew Cuomo.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
If it meant defeeding Mondani.
Speaker 15 (28:00):
That would be like putting two scorpions in a Brandy class.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yeah. Two, they do not get along. By the way,
Mom Donni is having a lot of problems right now,
including a video that he's being slammed for that he
posted on social media. Now this is about a year ago,
but still it's come up now where he is showing
a comedy group mocking a Jewish Honka celebration and they're
(28:29):
all dressed up looking like stereotypical ways that you would
look at Jews if you didn't like them.
Speaker 9 (28:38):
If we want to end the housing.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Crisis, that's not it. But anyway, it's only music anyway,
and it is It is really actually very disturbing want
to win this election because he's done so many things
in the past that are going to come back to
haunt him, including an ad that he did that showed
(29:00):
he was full on communists. This was also about a
year ago before he was running for mayor. And tell
me this doesn't sound familiar, although he's saying it bluntly
about housing.
Speaker 9 (29:11):
If we want to end the housing crisis, the solution
has to be moving toward the full decommodification of housing,
In other words, moving away from the status quo in
which most people access housing by purchasing it on the market,
and toward a future where we guarantee high quality housing
to all as a human right.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
The decommodification, which means there'll be no more investing in
real estate. Your home wouldn't be what it's worth right
now because they got to bring down the prices so
more can afford it.
Speaker 16 (29:43):
He wants to turn New York City into a little
communist Cuba. He wants to seize the means of production,
which is right out of Karl Marxi's communist playbook. He's
somebody wants to take over New York City supermarkets. I
imagine he wants to ration food as well. I mean,
and this is somebody who is completely a leftist like
(30:03):
we've never seen in New York and we've had the
likes of Bill de Blasio and others.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
And then the New York Times did a piece on him.
He's having a bad week. The New York Times did
a piece on him, showing that he'd lied in all
of his college applications, including into Colombia, where he said
he was not only African an African American, but that
he was black, and he obviously is not. That's not
(30:27):
the way he's ever talked about himself. As when you grow.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
Up as someone, especially in the Third World, you have
a very different understanding of the palacity in struggle.
Speaker 9 (30:38):
I also say this as the first South Asian elected official,
the first Muslim elected official to ever run for.
Speaker 6 (30:44):
Mayor, me someone who stands to be the first immigrant
mayor of this city in generation, someone who would also
be the first Muslim in the first South Asian mayor
in this city's history.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
So not only is he not black, he'd never even
identified as being from a fuka before, but from being
from Asia. This guy's got so many problems that are
going to come out in this campaign. Watch his poll
numbers start to slide. At least we don't. We can
only hope. Award winning columnist Mike Kelly joins us next
(31:18):
to talk about the latest police confrontations on the Seaside
Heights boardwalk, and also why a new poll shows Mikey
Cheryl surging ahead. That's after seven o'clock
