Speaker 1 (00:00):
Halfway through the week. Thanks for being with us this morning,
the last day of the wimpy heat wave. And I
only call a whimpy heat wave because I got that
as a meteorological term from Race Stagic yesterday. He agreed.
I guess it's easy for me to say. I guess
it's easy for us to say it's a wimpy heat wave,
considering we work in air conditioning and drive in air
(00:22):
conditioning cars and go to an air conditioning home. If
you're working outside, I'm sure it's a lot different. So
if you are working outside of your spending a lot
of time outside, drink a lot of water, be very careful.
But right after today, it is going to be nice.
It's going to be high tomorrow, seventy near seventy degrees.
(00:44):
Is that right? You're checking, you're double checking it to
make sure that's right. That's what I have in front
of me, A few showers, maybe a thunderstorm, near seventy high.
It's going to be eighty five tomorrow. What is the
tomorrow night or near seventy tomorrow night? Okay, I didn't
have anything for the high of the day in the forecast.
(01:05):
That's in front of me. So thank you, Jacqueline, Saturday
High near eighty again Sunday High near eighty two. But
it's gonna feel a lot. It's going to feel a
lot cooler and a lot nicer compared to what we've
been through the last couple of days. Now, let's get
to the story of the day, which was the story
(01:25):
of yesterday, and of course it's going to be the
story during the investigation of the next few weeks. It
leads off our Big Three. And there was a visil
last night held in Brian Park for the four victims
of the Park Avenue mass shooting. Police Commissioner Jessica Tish
memorialized officer. Police officer did to rule Islam.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
They were taken from our arms in violence. They now
rest in God's arms in peace. May their memories be
a blessing.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
It will have much more on the investigation coming up
in just a couple of minutes. Tsunami has now hit
Hawaii and is headed towards the California coast. It was
spawned by a huge earthquake off the shores of Russia.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Eight point eight magnitude, one of the most powerful earthquakes
ever and it has sent a chain of tsunami warnings
and advisories across and around the Pacific.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
And remember how controversial the offshore wind turbines were off
the coast of New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut. Not anymore.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
We will not allow a windmill to be built in
the United States. They killing as they're killing the beauty
of our scenery, our valleys, our beautiful planes. And you
look up and you see windmills all over the place.
It's a horrible thing. It's the most expensive form of energy.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
It's no good. The situation in Gaza continues to get worse.
In the United States is now sending cargo planes packed
with food. We will talk with ABC's Jordana Miller at
seven thirty five.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
So we sent sixty million dollars.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
It's a lot of money for food and a lot
of money that can take care of people for a
long time, and we want to make sure it's going
to be it's being spent properly. That part of the
spending is the distribution.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
And we now know why President Trump cut off all
contact with Jeffrey Epstein over twenty years ago.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
He stole people that work for me. I said, don't
ever do that again. He did it again, and I
threw him out of the place, per Sona on Grada.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Now, let's talk about the investigation into the mass shooting,
the worst shooting in New York in twenty five years,
killing for there was a vigil last night, and it's
important to remember the people that were killed. Just you know,
we always talk about how people are killed senselessly, but
this was just random acts of violence. I know he
(03:58):
was going after the NFL, but did you hear that
he got in the wrong elevator. That's why he ended
up in the thirty third floor. That's why Julie Hyman,
a twenty seven year old who worked at Rudent Property Management,
was killed because he happened to get on the floor
the elevator that went to her floor. He was trying
to go to the NFL. But you know, when you
get into high rises, there's different lots of elevators, right,
(04:22):
some of them go to certain floors, and this one
that he got into just happened to go to the
thirty third floor and there was Julie Hyman sitting there
and he killed her. She graduated from Cornell's Peter and
Stephanie Nolan's School of hotel administration. Back in twenty twenty,
some of the other victims all this were starting to
(04:43):
learn a lot more about them. Wesley Lapotner, forty three,
a Blackstone employee. She was a wife and mom she
was killed. She was a senior managing director at Blackstone.
She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Yale University and served
on the boards of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. And
get this, she's one of the best friends of Police
(05:06):
Commissioner Jessica Tish. Also, you remember the first person that
was killed was a security officer, Alan Eton, forty six
year old. Took his duties extremely seriously, his boss said yesterday,
and he's going to be remembered as a hero. He
also has a seven year old son. And of course
we've all been playing homage to off duty New York
(05:29):
Police officer d Darul Islam. And I mistakenly said off duty,
because when you have the uniform on, you're on duty
all the time. It doesn't matter who's signing your paycheck.
You are a police officer. Believe me, if something were
to happen outside, Officer Islam would have run out there.
So excuse me for saying that he is NYPD officer
(05:54):
Dietarol Islam, who was on duty, was the father of
two and his wife was pregnant. She was do with
their third child just next month, so all of it
is absolutely heartbreaking.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Officer Islam's death was yet another reminder of everything you
risk just by showing up to work. He knew that risk,
he embraced it. He understood what it meant to put
the safety of others above his own right.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
He's an absolute hero. He's getting a hero's funeral. The
PBA is going to make sure his wife and children
are taken care of. So God bless him and everybody
who died yesterday. The vigil was more than appropriate, except
for Kathy Hochol, and we'll get to that in a second,
but for right now, let's talk about the investigation into
(06:41):
what happened. We do know that two notes were left behind,
one in his car and one they found in his home,
and in both of them he talked about the NFL,
and he talked about CTE. It is a brain condition
you get from concussions. And he was a star high
school football player. But what I didn't hear yesterday and
(07:05):
Mayor Adams kept talking about over and over again. He
was everywhere doing interviews yesterday. What he kept talking about
over and over again. And I haven't seen the note
obviously that was left in the car, but he says
in the note that the shooter, the murderer, I should say,
claims that he played in the NFL.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
He alluded to having CTE from playing in the NFL.
He never played in the NFL, and he alluded to
the CTE being the reason for his illness. It appears
as though he was going after the employees at the NFL.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah. Shane Timora is twenty seven years old from Las Vegas.
Drove all the way from Las Vegas here. What was
amazing yesterday is how much information they quickly had on him.
They knew exactly how he traveled from either easy Pass
or highway cameras almost instantaneously. They knew stop by stop
(08:13):
by stop by stop, that he was in Nebraska, that
he was in New Jersey, all the way through. They
were able to follow him, and then they had a
whole bunch of information about who he was and what
he did for a living hours after this happened. It
is incredible how we're all connected electronically right now, and
how much information is out there for law enforcement to
(08:36):
find when and if they need to. We had a
talk back yesterday that was fascinating that said that this
seems like it could be a copycat of Luigi Mangioni,
who killed the CEO of United Healthcare and an assassination
(08:57):
on the streets of New York and Mayor Adams, Yeah,
we're always worried about copycats.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
You always focus on copycats, and that's why we're going
to make sure we have our uniform assets that are
out at high target areas, but also there would be
assets that you're not going to see where officers are
going to be there to keep a close watch.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Everybody now is trying to find out more about Chain
Tomura and how this happened. Nobody saw this coming, nobody.
He was a nobody's radar. That gun that he used
he put together himself. That are now investigating the people
that gave him the parts, but nobody thought anything of them.
He just seemed like the nicest guy. They went back
(09:43):
to talk to his high school football coach at Grenada
Hills and he is just stunned.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
I'm in shocks.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I would not have ever imagined such a thing. Could
I done more? Could I help the kid? Could I
reached out to him? Or could you reach out to him?
It's just a lot of things I'm trying to process
right now. It's amazing he got emotional. That's a really
good coach, a coach that was worried about their players
long after they've left the fold, long after they've left
(10:12):
the field. So something went haywire with this guy a
long long time ago. And it wasn't the CTE that
did it. I don't know. He left the note saying,
please examine my brain. He believes that. Much more on
the investigation throughout the show and in the days to come.
(10:32):
In the meantime, it's day three of the heat wave.
Is relief coming. We have an extended talk with woor's
Weather Channel meteorologist Ray Stagic And have you noticed a
longer wait at the airports? There's a reason for that.
We'll explain next. And our iHeartRadio Music Festival is back
September nineteenth and twentieth at T Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
(10:53):
Two nights on one stage, live performances by Brian Adams,
John Fogerty, Sammy Hagel Our, Ed Sheeran, Maroon five, Mariah
Carey and Moore. And while the world is listening on iHeart,
you could be there. Listen for three chances every weekday
to win tickets plus airfare, hotel, and one thousand dollars
(11:16):
in cash. Your first chance to win is next Monday
at nine am. So it's the last day of our
mini heat wave. What comes next? Most importantly, let's get
to the weekend. First, we'll deal with the rest of today,
and then we'll get to the weekend with esteemed meteorologists.
Ray Stagic. Ray, You're an esteemed meteorologist. You work at
(11:40):
the Weather Channel, you work at WOR and iHeart all
across the country. And so tell me the truth. When
you watch when you were going through a three day
heat wave with temperatures in the mid nineties and stuff
like that, you watch TV and you see the meteorologists
hyping it up, what are your thumb on.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
You're gonna do that?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
So are you're not naming names? I'm not naming names.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
Well, my name's out there right, you're saying, now, I
mean this. You do it for those that either a
may not know right, or.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Those who have rating books, well.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
That too, or those that are you know, kind of
like you know, there's every everybody. Some people like would
like the extra kind of like hype and reminder, Oh oh,
how hot is it going to get?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Well?
Speaker 7 (12:32):
Well, okay, so yesterday probably the peak of the heat,
right in the middle of our three day official heat wave, which,
by the way, we'll end today. So yeah, you know,
Newark hit one oh one, it's one of the normally
hotter spots and that was a record for the date.
Ninety seven in Central Park was not a record, but
Laguardie hit one hundred, so you know, we're really starting
to get into that, you know, dangerous heat category. So yeah,
(12:53):
I mean, you know, hot when you're within a career
or two of records, it's certainly something that I want
to talk about. The good news here that whatever we
are doing as meteorologists, it sounds like, you know, it's
working because we're not hearing is a lot of impact,
at least, not anything widespread in terms of impacts from
the heat. So power outage in the subway yesterday maybe
(13:16):
tied to the heat. We don't have anything really right
now that could support that, but it could have been
related to the stress on the power grid. So those
are some of the things that we look for, and
also with any kind of heat related illnesses or if
there are already deaths in there. So far, I haven't
heard of any of that.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah. See, that's why you're so good, and that's why
I trust you, because in watching the local news, it
was definitely related to the heat. I mean, there was
no question. And so I do like the way that
you are sometimes skeptical of the information that's out there,
and I know you do. I mean you will say
(13:54):
there's been a few times where I've said, you know why,
this is going to be severe, this is going to
be bad, and you go wheoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. And
when I talk about snow totals especially, you're like, well,
that's that's nothing compared to some other areas. So it's yeah,
I like that perspective. So with that perspective, how bad
is today going to be?
Speaker 7 (14:14):
Close to as bad as yesterday was? Ninety five? Ninety six?
The record in Central Park for today may be attainable
because it's ninety eight and we've got a shot at
maybe officially getting there that was set back in nineteen
eighty eight. So if we do get there, it'll be
hotter than yesterday's ninety seven, but it does look like
(14:34):
then the big frontal command will have wet weather scattered
around as we look ahead toward the rest of the week,
and we may see temperatures as we look ahead toward
the latter part of Friday holding around seventy degrees with
this front coming through and temperatures holding steady from the
overnight low temperatures. So another hot one today, the heating
(14:54):
next close to one hundred, and it looks like we'll
see a lessening of the heat here as we go
through the next few days. Now, I'm gonna make it
feel better, Larry, because that's what I do, right, I
make you feel better.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Thank you, my job and somebody. I need someone in
my life that does that.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
So we're only let's say ninety seven right, with a
due point seventy or just above. Imagine if that due
point was eighty plus like it was in Tampa again yesterday,
and their air temperature was I think ninety six or
ninety seven. So I said we had a higher due point,
we could have then get into that category of dangerous
and life threatening heat. Another heat index close to one
(15:30):
twenty yesterday in Tampa, So imagine what that feels like
compared to our pitoy this afternoon.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
But everybody's doing their job, right, that's the race Stagic
I know and love. Thank you very much. Way, Ray,
we'll talk to you again a little bit later in
the show, just in case anything changes. Meteorologist Ray Stagic
WR and the Weather Channel. Real quick, let's get into
these delays at the airports and and everybody's been experiencing them.
And now you know, you're thinking to yourself, I thought
(16:00):
this was solved. No, no, no, no. They are fast
tracking some of the air traffic controllers, but they're not
all there yet, and that's why you're experiencing delays. And
Sean Duffy, the Transportation Secretary, had this to say about it.
Speaker 8 (16:15):
We've slowed down the traffic to match the number of
controllers that we have in the Philly traecon that controls
the Newark airspace. We drive that first. And again, I'm
less concerned about your flight fly and I'm more concerned
about when you fly, you fly safely.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yeah, he was talking specifically about Newark there, but it's
happening across the country. You just experienced this.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
Right with your daughter, Yeah, she was coming back from
Wisconsin and she was about two hours delayed, and the
app says your flight is departing late due to FAA
staffing shortages in air traffic control.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I was like, okay, yep, oh, stay where you are.
Just get here safe exactly now, let's get the news.
At six point thirty with Jacqueline Carl.
Speaker 10 (16:57):
Jacqueline Good Morning of vigil for the victims Monday's high
rise mass shooting in Midtown Manhattan, held Tuesday in Brian Park.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
They were taken from our arms in violence. They now
rest in God's arms in peace.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
City Police Commissioner Jessica Tish at a vigil in Brian
Park Tuesday night in memory of the four lives lost
Monday in the Midtown high rise mass shooting.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Saw the blood trails at the level.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Of violence that I have not witnessed at that level before.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Mayor Eric Adams not just mourning. He was advocating a
message amplified by Governor Kathy Hokel.
Speaker 10 (17:33):
This is the time to stand up and say no
more slaughter by a weapon of mass destruction designed to
kill people on the battlefield, not in our buildings.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Here in the great City of New York.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Andrew Whitman w R News.
Speaker 10 (17:46):
At the Federal or Serve announces later today whether it
will cut interest rates. President Trump has been putting pressure
on FED chair Jerome Powell to cut rates, but most
investors are expecting the Central Bank will hold them steady.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Okay.
Speaker 10 (18:01):
So a door dasher did something I might do myself
on TikTok. This guy, Joe Brian saw something shocking well
inside a New York City McDonald's location and managed to
get video of it.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
It was a bicycle.
Speaker 10 (18:15):
Helmet wearing door dasher, and he was reaching into a
customer's bag and giving the food a little taste test
before taking it to its rightful destination. Now, I would
bet every dime I have that it was fries. And
I can't say I blame him. I can't resist a fry.
Did you ever ride in an elevator or a car
with someone that had fries?
Speaker 11 (18:34):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Wait, you blame him? No, I you wouldn't mind that.
You wouldn't mind.
Speaker 10 (18:40):
I don't want someone eating my fries. But if I'm
in hear a fry, I like, if I'm in an
elevator with someone with fries or something, I'm like thinking,
can I take them, but they turned me into a caveman.
Speaker 9 (18:51):
But that's why when you get things from door Dash
or you know, any of those apps. A lot of
the times the restaurants seal the bag, there's a sticker
on it. They folded, they put a sticker on it.
So when you get it, if that sticker is.
Speaker 10 (19:05):
Not there, I would think someone might have gone in there.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Oh that's a good tip. But what do you do
at that point? Just not eat it or you choose
the guy.
Speaker 9 (19:13):
If it's fries, it might still go for it.
Speaker 10 (19:15):
Yeah, but I mean it's true. Right when you smell
French fries, something takes over, like your reptilian brain takes over,
and you're just like, I gotta get those fries.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Wow, I would do it.
Speaker 10 (19:28):
If I were a dog dash person, I would be
like three hundred pounds. I beat everybody's.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Fries except for fries. The the French fries. I don't
think I'm alone. I don't think I'm Oh, let's hear
the talkbacks. If you would eat someone else's food because
of French fries. I'd love to find out. Jacqueline Carl,
You're gonna get a lot of right, Let's see Jacqueline
Carl thanks so much. We now know why the friendship
(19:51):
between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein ended long ago. Will
have that and everything else in Trump world next. And
we all remember that one teacher who made a difference,
who believed in us, or challenged us, or or just
made learning fun. Well, now is your chance to say
thank you to them in a big way. With iHeartRadio's
(20:12):
Thank a Teacher powered by Donor's Choice, you can nominate
an outstanding public school teacher who has gone above and
beyond for their students for a chance to win five
thousand dollars to stock their classroom with whatever they need.
Teachers give their time, money, and hearts to help students succeed.
(20:33):
Help us say thank you to the educators shaping our future.
Nominate your favorite teacher now at iHeartRadio dot com slash teachers.
We all know that the Democrats were all excited about
the Epstein files because they thought it would embarrass Donald Trump.
They figured in their anti Trump Trump derangement syndrome minds
(20:54):
that he must be on there. He must have gone
to pedophile Island. We're going to get him on this.
That's why he doesn't want to release these files. That
must be the entire reason. So we're going to join
the far right Maga Republicans and get these files released
so we can embarrass Donald Trump. Now, Donald Trump has
(21:15):
said all along, Yeah, he knew Jeffrey Epstein. As a
matter of fact, for a while, he considered them friends.
Jeffrey Epstein apparently used to go to Mara a Lago,
but it was the relationship on marri Lago in him
coming there that ended their friendship.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
For years, I wouldn't talk to Jeffrey Epstein. I wouldn't
talk because he did something that was inappropriate. He hired help,
and I said, don't ever do that again. He stole
people that work for me. I said, don't ever do
that again. He did it again, and I threw him
out of the place for sona on grata. I threw
him out and that was it. I'm glad I did.
(21:53):
If you want another truth.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
He was stealing apparently young girls that worked in the
spot because he apparently had his own spa on Pedophile
Island and he was taking he was pulling them away,
and that's what he was so upset about. And then
Donald Trump also was asked point blank, have you ever
been to that island.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
And by the way, I never went to the island,
and Bill Clinton went there supposedly twenty eight times. I
never went to the island. But Larry Summers, I hear
went there. He was the head of Harvard and many
other people that are very big people. Nobody ever talks
about them. I never had the privilege of going to
his island, and I did turn it down, but a
(22:36):
lot of people in Palm Beach were invited to his island.
In one of my very good moments, I turned it down.
I didn't want to go to his island.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yeah, I can completely understand that. And I think the
reason that Donald Trump is reluctant to release these files
after saying he would, and I've said this many times,
and it just is the It's what makes the most
sense to me is that there are not just allegedly
Bill Clinton, and not just although it was very specific
(23:08):
when he said twenty eight times, and it's not just
allegedly Larry Summers and some other political figures. It's going
to be some very rich people and some powerful people
around the world that went to that island. And that
means lawsuits, and that means being in court and being
(23:30):
tied up in court. And that's what I believe Donald
Trump thought about when he got these files, and they
talked about what's on there and what's the accusations and
what proven and not proven because nothing was litigated with
those people, and so of course they're going to sue
to prevent the release of the files. And I think
that he was trying to avoid all of that. And
(23:51):
yet there's other things going on that nobody's paying attention to.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
I can say this, those files were run by the
worst come on earth. They were run by Komi, they
were run by Garland, they were run by Biden. If
they had anything, I assume they would have released it.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Isn't it amazing that the Democrats were so in to
Russia Gate. They wanted that there can't be any Russian collusion.
There can't be any Russian collusion, and we have to
stop that. We have to impeach the president over it.
And this has been proven, and of course there was
no proof. We ended up spending over forty million dollars
(24:33):
for the Mueller investigation and he came to the end
and he says, there's just no evidence of collusion between
the Donald Trump campaign and the Russians. But now there
is evidence of collusion not between not between the Trump campaign,
but with the Democrats in the Obama campaign. There's now
(24:54):
some of the files that are going to be released today.
As a matter of fact, the show the Russians knew
about this the campaign and approved of it. And so
now you've got all of this stuff coming out, and
it is damning. It is some of the top people
in government apparently run by John Brennan more than anybody else.
(25:16):
But there's so many more people. There's call Me, and
there's Obama, There's Hillary Clinton. There's so many big names
in the Democratic Party that are wrapped up in this.
And we have proof. There's files that are being released
that are being declassified right now. Isn't it amazing that
the Democrats have no interest in this? Now? I get it.
(25:40):
I mean, I understand it hurts their party. It's going
to hurt them in the midterms. I understand all of that.
What I don't understand is the lack of interest in
the media. This exposes them more than anything else that's
happened recently as being one sided. I know, I know
(26:02):
it seemed obvious before, but how about this, This is
a major scandal. This may be if it all plays out,
if it's all true, and it's right there in the documents,
they're releasing all of them. If it's all true that
they knew there was no Russian collusion, They knew that
the Hillary Clintons people made it up because they wanted
(26:25):
to Obfusekate and change the subject away from the fact
that she had this big computer and email scandal that's
in the files. The Obama administration was notified that that
was the strategy, so they already knew it was made up.
And then they got a huge Defense Department assessment saying no, no, no,
(26:49):
there's nothing there. There is an attempt at Russian collusion,
but the Trump campaign had nothing to do with that,
as we found out later with the Mower report, and
they decided to ignore that, to bury it, to try
to hide it, and they put out another assessment and
they wanted that one used instead, and they leaked it
(27:10):
to the media and they let Congress see it, and
then it paralyzed the country for a year. In the
whole Russia Gate thing, that's treasonous. That's people within a
government working against their own government for political reasons. That's conspiracy,
(27:32):
that's treason. And the media just doesn't seem to care
if this all plays out. And remember they play they
cared about every little nugget when it came to Russia Gate,
when it when it came to the Trump collusion story,
every little nugget was in the news. But this one
(27:54):
they don't care about at all, which is just amazing
to me, just amazing to me. I guess it shouldn't
be at this point, but you would think that this
is another one they could win Pulitzers on real pulitzers,
not ones that you're beginning back, and no interest at all.
(28:16):
I am so dishearted. The wind turbines off the Jersey
Shore are done for, and so are all plans for
wind power across the country. We'll talk about that next,
but right now I want to talk about see see radio.
Seacrane radio is just an amazing product, and think about
(28:38):
it right now with the tsunamis had power going off
in Hawaii, in Japan on the East coast, a radio
is really all you have as a connection to the
outside world. And if you get a sea crane radio,
solar bluetooth, you'll be unlike anyone else in your neighborhood
because you'll be able when the power goes out, when
(29:00):
the worst happens, You're going to be able to stay
connected with the outside world. Get Noah updates, get emergency
information updates. With great reception and voice focused audio. It
can get you over twenty five hundred stations, and it
doesn't matter that the power went out. This is solar powered.
(29:23):
It also has a crank in the back in case
the solar power doesn't work. It also has a backup battery.
It's got a flashlight build inside. And the most important
thing to us during our power outage is it can
charge your cell phones. You don't have to run to
Starbucks or someplace else to get your star to get
your phone charged. It is It is something every family
(29:46):
should have. The information you need when it matters most
call Seacrane at eight hundred five two two eight eight
six three. That's eight hundred five two two eight eight
sixty three, or visit them online at that's CcRn E
dot com. Hey, before I get to the wind turbines,
(30:07):
which is great news for the summer for New Jersey
and Long Islands and up through Connecticut, I do want
to talk real quick about the tariffs, because the deadline
is going to be on Friday with if there's no
deal struck. The deal is set in a letter that
Donald Trump sent out, and there's different numbers for different countries,
(30:31):
so I can't give you one, but it's going to
be at least twenty percent, as high as fifty percent
for Brazil because he's upset with Brazil for well a
lot of different political reasons. But I do want to
talk about what's happening right now at the White House.
Howard Lutnik is the chief negotiator for the Trump administration
on these tariffs, and he is amused at all of
(30:54):
the phone calls they're getting, all of the sudden right
before this deadline, cause I think everybody has been going, Wow,
this isn't for real. This is for real. Now they understand,
oh no, this is going to happen. As a matter
of fact, representatives from one country flew in unannounced to
Scotland during the President's trip there to try to talk
(31:15):
to them about tariffs.
Speaker 11 (31:16):
The South Koreans flew to Scotland to meet with me
an ambassador career after dinner. I mean, think of how
much they really really want to get a deal done.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
It sounds like that might happen too, And the talks
with China are going on. They have been eliminated from
the Friday deadline because they have the basis of a
deal and a bigger deal should be announced. They're just
not going to make it by Friday. So they're getting
an exemption China from this whole thing because there might
be an announcement sometime next week. But it's really important,
(31:50):
and not enough focuses on this on how much money
we are talking about for this country.
Speaker 12 (31:57):
These tariffs are going to bring in a very substant
amount of revenue. The work that my colleagues and I
did at the Yale Budget Lab estimates that the current
tariffs that are in place represent an increase in revenue
of about three trillion dollars over the course of the
next ten years. And actually, like the adminage, we should
give some credit where credit is due. Frankly, we are
in a fiscal position where we really do need to
(32:19):
raise revenue.
Speaker 8 (32:20):
Now.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
That is Natasha Sarin who runs the Yale University Budget Lab.
This is their job. They study these things. A completely
independent source that was interviewed on MSNBC. So just understand
that this is real. This is a lot of money
(32:43):
coming in. And you keep talking about the deficit, the deficit,
the deficit. What cures the deficit? Money like this coming
into the country, and so it's nothing but good news.
Now let's talk about those wind turbines, something that Donald
Trump has hated for a long time, and finally he's
done something about it with an executive order.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
We will not allow a windmill to be built in
the United States. They're killing as they're killing the beauty
of our scenery, our valleys, our beautiful planes. And you
look up and you see windmills all over the place.
It's a horrible thing. It's the most expensive form of energy.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
It's no good whales, dolphins, wildlife. It was bad for
the ecology. They talked about it fighting global warming. They
actually warm the ocean when they're put out in the ocean.
Everything about it is bad. And it's not a profitable
business that has to be subsidized by us, by you
(33:38):
and I. It takes tax mayers payers money to keep
these things running. It has never been sustainable. And yet
the Biden administration spent hundreds of billions of dollars on this,
and we have these monstrosities off the Jersey shoreline.
Speaker 13 (33:57):
In New Jersey. The last pristine vista we have is
my district. It's the Jersey Shore, and wind turbines are
killing the whales, they're industrializing the ocean. These are all
things that Democrats used to care about back in the day,
and they just don't seem to anymore. A couple million
dollars in campaign donations later, yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
That's exactly what it was. A lot of people got
a lot of money from these wind turbine companies. That's
Assemblyman Paul Kanetra, who is from Point Pleasant. He used
to be the mayor of Point Pleasant. Now he's an assemblyman,
and he says people are changing their feelings about these turbines,
especially in New Jersey, are changing when it comes to
(34:38):
wind power.
Speaker 13 (34:39):
The more that people find out, the more people are
against this. Over fifty percent of the population in New
Jersey is against offshore win and obviously at the Jersey
Shore it's over eighty percent.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Right, It's never been popular at the Jersey Shore because
they don't want to look out and see these They're ugly,
these wind turbine monstrosities, and they're the ones I have
had to deal with the carcasses from the whales. They're
the ones that I've had to deal with, all the
dead dolphins. I was down at my niece's place in
Sea Isle City and they had twelve dead dolphins show
(35:12):
up right when they started to build these turbines. Because
of all the ships and construction going on out there,
they just came up and killed themselves to get away
from what was going on. Thank god they're done. Another question,
who was to blame for the starvation in Gaza. I
will guarantee Jeffrey Lickman will have a strong opinion about this.
(35:34):
Right after the seven o'clock news
Halfway through the week. Thanks for being with us this morning,
the last day of the wimpy heat wave. And I
only call a whimpy heat wave because I got that
as a meteorological term from Race Stagic yesterday. He agreed.
I guess it's easy for me to say. I guess
it's easy for us to say it's a wimpy heat wave,
considering we work in air conditioning and drive in air
(00:22):
conditioning cars and go to an air conditioning home. If
you're working outside, I'm sure it's a lot different. So
if you are working outside of your spending a lot
of time outside, drink a lot of water, be very careful.
But right after today, it is going to be nice.
It's going to be high tomorrow, seventy near seventy degrees.
(00:44):
Is that right? You're checking, you're double checking it to
make sure that's right. That's what I have in front
of me, A few showers, maybe a thunderstorm, near seventy high.
It's going to be eighty five tomorrow. What is the
tomorrow night or near seventy tomorrow night? Okay, I didn't
have anything for the high of the day in the forecast.
(01:05):
That's in front of me. So thank you, Jacqueline, Saturday
High near eighty again Sunday High near eighty two. But
it's gonna feel a lot. It's going to feel a
lot cooler and a lot nicer compared to what we've
been through the last couple of days. Now, let's get
to the story of the day, which was the story
(01:25):
of yesterday, and of course it's going to be the
story during the investigation of the next few weeks. It
leads off our Big Three. And there was a visil
last night held in Brian Park for the four victims
of the Park Avenue mass shooting. Police Commissioner Jessica Tish
memorialized officer. Police officer did to rule Islam.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
They were taken from our arms in violence. They now
rest in God's arms in peace. May their memories be
a blessing.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
It will have much more on the investigation coming up
in just a couple of minutes. Tsunami has now hit
Hawaii and is headed towards the California coast. It was
spawned by a huge earthquake off the shores of Russia.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Eight point eight magnitude, one of the most powerful earthquakes
ever and it has sent a chain of tsunami warnings
and advisories across and around the Pacific.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
And remember how controversial the offshore wind turbines were off
the coast of New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut. Not anymore.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
We will not allow a windmill to be built in
the United States. They killing as they're killing the beauty
of our scenery, our valleys, our beautiful planes. And you
look up and you see windmills all over the place.
It's a horrible thing. It's the most expensive form of energy.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
It's no good. The situation in Gaza continues to get worse.
In the United States is now sending cargo planes packed
with food. We will talk with ABC's Jordana Miller at
seven thirty five.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
So we sent sixty million dollars.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
It's a lot of money for food and a lot
of money that can take care of people for a
long time, and we want to make sure it's going
to be it's being spent properly. That part of the
spending is the distribution.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
And we now know why President Trump cut off all
contact with Jeffrey Epstein over twenty years ago.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
He stole people that work for me. I said, don't
ever do that again. He did it again, and I
threw him out of the place, per Sona on Grada.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Now, let's talk about the investigation into the mass shooting,
the worst shooting in New York in twenty five years,
killing for there was a vigil last night, and it's
important to remember the people that were killed. Just you know,
we always talk about how people are killed senselessly, but
this was just random acts of violence. I know he
(03:58):
was going after the NFL, but did you hear that
he got in the wrong elevator. That's why he ended
up in the thirty third floor. That's why Julie Hyman,
a twenty seven year old who worked at Rudent Property Management,
was killed because he happened to get on the floor
the elevator that went to her floor. He was trying
to go to the NFL. But you know, when you
get into high rises, there's different lots of elevators, right,
(04:22):
some of them go to certain floors, and this one
that he got into just happened to go to the
thirty third floor and there was Julie Hyman sitting there
and he killed her. She graduated from Cornell's Peter and
Stephanie Nolan's School of hotel administration. Back in twenty twenty,
some of the other victims all this were starting to
(04:43):
learn a lot more about them. Wesley Lapotner, forty three,
a Blackstone employee. She was a wife and mom she
was killed. She was a senior managing director at Blackstone.
She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Yale University and served
on the boards of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. And
get this, she's one of the best friends of Police
(05:06):
Commissioner Jessica Tish. Also, you remember the first person that
was killed was a security officer, Alan Eton, forty six
year old. Took his duties extremely seriously, his boss said yesterday,
and he's going to be remembered as a hero. He
also has a seven year old son. And of course
we've all been playing homage to off duty New York
(05:29):
Police officer d Darul Islam. And I mistakenly said off duty,
because when you have the uniform on, you're on duty
all the time. It doesn't matter who's signing your paycheck.
You are a police officer. Believe me, if something were
to happen outside, Officer Islam would have run out there.
So excuse me for saying that he is NYPD officer
(05:54):
Dietarol Islam, who was on duty, was the father of
two and his wife was pregnant. She was do with
their third child just next month, so all of it
is absolutely heartbreaking.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Officer Islam's death was yet another reminder of everything you
risk just by showing up to work. He knew that risk,
he embraced it. He understood what it meant to put
the safety of others above his own right.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
He's an absolute hero. He's getting a hero's funeral. The
PBA is going to make sure his wife and children
are taken care of. So God bless him and everybody
who died yesterday. The vigil was more than appropriate, except
for Kathy Hochol, and we'll get to that in a second,
but for right now, let's talk about the investigation into
(06:41):
what happened. We do know that two notes were left behind,
one in his car and one they found in his home,
and in both of them he talked about the NFL,
and he talked about CTE. It is a brain condition
you get from concussions. And he was a star high
school football player. But what I didn't hear yesterday and
(07:05):
Mayor Adams kept talking about over and over again. He
was everywhere doing interviews yesterday. What he kept talking about
over and over again. And I haven't seen the note
obviously that was left in the car, but he says
in the note that the shooter, the murderer, I should say,
claims that he played in the NFL.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
He alluded to having CTE from playing in the NFL.
He never played in the NFL, and he alluded to
the CTE being the reason for his illness. It appears
as though he was going after the employees at the NFL.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah. Shane Timora is twenty seven years old from Las Vegas.
Drove all the way from Las Vegas here. What was
amazing yesterday is how much information they quickly had on him.
They knew exactly how he traveled from either easy Pass
or highway cameras almost instantaneously. They knew stop by stop
(08:13):
by stop by stop, that he was in Nebraska, that
he was in New Jersey, all the way through. They
were able to follow him, and then they had a
whole bunch of information about who he was and what
he did for a living hours after this happened. It
is incredible how we're all connected electronically right now, and
how much information is out there for law enforcement to
(08:36):
find when and if they need to. We had a
talk back yesterday that was fascinating that said that this
seems like it could be a copycat of Luigi Mangioni,
who killed the CEO of United Healthcare and an assassination
(08:57):
on the streets of New York and Mayor Adams, Yeah,
we're always worried about copycats.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
You always focus on copycats, and that's why we're going
to make sure we have our uniform assets that are
out at high target areas, but also there would be
assets that you're not going to see where officers are
going to be there to keep a close watch.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Everybody now is trying to find out more about Chain
Tomura and how this happened. Nobody saw this coming, nobody.
He was a nobody's radar. That gun that he used
he put together himself. That are now investigating the people
that gave him the parts, but nobody thought anything of them.
He just seemed like the nicest guy. They went back
(09:43):
to talk to his high school football coach at Grenada
Hills and he is just stunned.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
I'm in shocks.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I would not have ever imagined such a thing. Could
I done more? Could I help the kid? Could I
reached out to him? Or could you reach out to him?
It's just a lot of things I'm trying to process
right now. It's amazing he got emotional. That's a really
good coach, a coach that was worried about their players
long after they've left the fold, long after they've left
(10:12):
the field. So something went haywire with this guy a
long long time ago. And it wasn't the CTE that
did it. I don't know. He left the note saying,
please examine my brain. He believes that. Much more on
the investigation throughout the show and in the days to come.
(10:32):
In the meantime, it's day three of the heat wave.
Is relief coming. We have an extended talk with woor's
Weather Channel meteorologist Ray Stagic And have you noticed a
longer wait at the airports? There's a reason for that.
We'll explain next. And our iHeartRadio Music Festival is back
September nineteenth and twentieth at T Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
(10:53):
Two nights on one stage, live performances by Brian Adams,
John Fogerty, Sammy Hagel Our, Ed Sheeran, Maroon five, Mariah
Carey and Moore. And while the world is listening on iHeart,
you could be there. Listen for three chances every weekday
to win tickets plus airfare, hotel, and one thousand dollars
(11:16):
in cash. Your first chance to win is next Monday
at nine am. So it's the last day of our
mini heat wave. What comes next? Most importantly, let's get
to the weekend. First, we'll deal with the rest of today,
and then we'll get to the weekend with esteemed meteorologists.
Ray Stagic. Ray, You're an esteemed meteorologist. You work at
(11:40):
the Weather Channel, you work at WOR and iHeart all
across the country. And so tell me the truth. When
you watch when you were going through a three day
heat wave with temperatures in the mid nineties and stuff
like that, you watch TV and you see the meteorologists
hyping it up, what are your thumb on.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
You're gonna do that?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
So are you're not naming names? I'm not naming names.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
Well, my name's out there right, you're saying, now, I
mean this. You do it for those that either a
may not know right, or.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Those who have rating books, well.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
That too, or those that are you know, kind of
like you know, there's every everybody. Some people like would
like the extra kind of like hype and reminder, Oh oh,
how hot is it going to get?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Well?
Speaker 7 (12:32):
Well, okay, so yesterday probably the peak of the heat,
right in the middle of our three day official heat wave, which,
by the way, we'll end today. So yeah, you know,
Newark hit one oh one, it's one of the normally
hotter spots and that was a record for the date.
Ninety seven in Central Park was not a record, but
Laguardie hit one hundred, so you know, we're really starting
to get into that, you know, dangerous heat category. So yeah,
(12:53):
I mean, you know, hot when you're within a career
or two of records, it's certainly something that I want
to talk about. The good news here that whatever we
are doing as meteorologists, it sounds like, you know, it's
working because we're not hearing is a lot of impact,
at least, not anything widespread in terms of impacts from
the heat. So power outage in the subway yesterday maybe
(13:16):
tied to the heat. We don't have anything really right
now that could support that, but it could have been
related to the stress on the power grid. So those
are some of the things that we look for, and
also with any kind of heat related illnesses or if
there are already deaths in there. So far, I haven't
heard of any of that.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah. See, that's why you're so good, and that's why
I trust you, because in watching the local news, it
was definitely related to the heat. I mean, there was
no question. And so I do like the way that
you are sometimes skeptical of the information that's out there,
and I know you do. I mean you will say
(13:54):
there's been a few times where I've said, you know why,
this is going to be severe, this is going to
be bad, and you go wheoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. And
when I talk about snow totals especially, you're like, well,
that's that's nothing compared to some other areas. So it's yeah,
I like that perspective. So with that perspective, how bad
is today going to be?
Speaker 7 (14:14):
Close to as bad as yesterday was? Ninety five? Ninety six?
The record in Central Park for today may be attainable
because it's ninety eight and we've got a shot at
maybe officially getting there that was set back in nineteen
eighty eight. So if we do get there, it'll be
hotter than yesterday's ninety seven, but it does look like
(14:34):
then the big frontal command will have wet weather scattered
around as we look ahead toward the rest of the week,
and we may see temperatures as we look ahead toward
the latter part of Friday holding around seventy degrees with
this front coming through and temperatures holding steady from the
overnight low temperatures. So another hot one today, the heating
(14:54):
next close to one hundred, and it looks like we'll
see a lessening of the heat here as we go
through the next few days. Now, I'm gonna make it
feel better, Larry, because that's what I do, right, I
make you feel better.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Thank you, my job and somebody. I need someone in
my life that does that.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
So we're only let's say ninety seven right, with a
due point seventy or just above. Imagine if that due
point was eighty plus like it was in Tampa again yesterday,
and their air temperature was I think ninety six or
ninety seven. So I said we had a higher due point,
we could have then get into that category of dangerous
and life threatening heat. Another heat index close to one
(15:30):
twenty yesterday in Tampa, So imagine what that feels like
compared to our pitoy this afternoon.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
But everybody's doing their job, right, that's the race Stagic
I know and love. Thank you very much. Way, Ray,
we'll talk to you again a little bit later in
the show, just in case anything changes. Meteorologist Ray Stagic
WR and the Weather Channel. Real quick, let's get into
these delays at the airports and and everybody's been experiencing them.
And now you know, you're thinking to yourself, I thought
(16:00):
this was solved. No, no, no, no. They are fast
tracking some of the air traffic controllers, but they're not
all there yet, and that's why you're experiencing delays. And
Sean Duffy, the Transportation Secretary, had this to say about it.
Speaker 8 (16:15):
We've slowed down the traffic to match the number of
controllers that we have in the Philly traecon that controls
the Newark airspace. We drive that first. And again, I'm
less concerned about your flight fly and I'm more concerned
about when you fly, you fly safely.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yeah, he was talking specifically about Newark there, but it's
happening across the country. You just experienced this.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
Right with your daughter, Yeah, she was coming back from
Wisconsin and she was about two hours delayed, and the
app says your flight is departing late due to FAA
staffing shortages in air traffic control.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I was like, okay, yep, oh, stay where you are.
Just get here safe exactly now, let's get the news.
At six point thirty with Jacqueline Carl.
Speaker 10 (16:57):
Jacqueline Good Morning of vigil for the victims Monday's high
rise mass shooting in Midtown Manhattan, held Tuesday in Brian Park.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
They were taken from our arms in violence. They now
rest in God's arms in peace.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
City Police Commissioner Jessica Tish at a vigil in Brian
Park Tuesday night in memory of the four lives lost
Monday in the Midtown high rise mass shooting.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Saw the blood trails at the level.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Of violence that I have not witnessed at that level before.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Mayor Eric Adams not just mourning. He was advocating a
message amplified by Governor Kathy Hokel.
Speaker 10 (17:33):
This is the time to stand up and say no
more slaughter by a weapon of mass destruction designed to
kill people on the battlefield, not in our buildings.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Here in the great City of New York.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Andrew Whitman w R News.
Speaker 10 (17:46):
At the Federal or Serve announces later today whether it
will cut interest rates. President Trump has been putting pressure
on FED chair Jerome Powell to cut rates, but most
investors are expecting the Central Bank will hold them steady.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Okay.
Speaker 10 (18:01):
So a door dasher did something I might do myself
on TikTok. This guy, Joe Brian saw something shocking well
inside a New York City McDonald's location and managed to
get video of it.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
It was a bicycle.
Speaker 10 (18:15):
Helmet wearing door dasher, and he was reaching into a
customer's bag and giving the food a little taste test
before taking it to its rightful destination. Now, I would
bet every dime I have that it was fries. And
I can't say I blame him. I can't resist a fry.
Did you ever ride in an elevator or a car
with someone that had fries?
Speaker 11 (18:34):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Wait, you blame him? No, I you wouldn't mind that.
You wouldn't mind.
Speaker 10 (18:40):
I don't want someone eating my fries. But if I'm
in hear a fry, I like, if I'm in an
elevator with someone with fries or something, I'm like thinking,
can I take them, but they turned me into a caveman.
Speaker 9 (18:51):
But that's why when you get things from door Dash
or you know, any of those apps. A lot of
the times the restaurants seal the bag, there's a sticker
on it. They folded, they put a sticker on it.
So when you get it, if that sticker is.
Speaker 10 (19:05):
Not there, I would think someone might have gone in there.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Oh that's a good tip. But what do you do
at that point? Just not eat it or you choose
the guy.
Speaker 9 (19:13):
If it's fries, it might still go for it.
Speaker 10 (19:15):
Yeah, but I mean it's true. Right when you smell
French fries, something takes over, like your reptilian brain takes over,
and you're just like, I gotta get those fries.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Wow, I would do it.
Speaker 10 (19:28):
If I were a dog dash person, I would be
like three hundred pounds. I beat everybody's.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Fries except for fries. The the French fries. I don't
think I'm alone. I don't think I'm Oh, let's hear
the talkbacks. If you would eat someone else's food because
of French fries. I'd love to find out. Jacqueline Carl,
You're gonna get a lot of right, Let's see Jacqueline
Carl thanks so much. We now know why the friendship
(19:51):
between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein ended long ago. Will
have that and everything else in Trump world next. And

the Epstein files because they thought it would embarrass Donald Trump.
They figured in their anti Trump Trump derangement syndrome minds
(20:54):
that he must be on there. He must have gone
to pedophile Island. We're going to get him on this.
That's why he doesn't want to release these files. That
must be the entire reason. So we're going to join
the far right Maga Republicans and get these files released
so we can embarrass Donald Trump. Now, Donald Trump has
(21:15):
said all along, Yeah, he knew Jeffrey Epstein. As a
matter of fact, for a while, he considered them friends.
Jeffrey Epstein apparently used to go to Mara a Lago,
but it was the relationship on marri Lago in him
coming there that ended their friendship.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
For years, I wouldn't talk to Jeffrey Epstein. I wouldn't
talk because he did something that was inappropriate. He hired help,
and I said, don't ever do that again. He stole
people that work for me. I said, don't ever do
that again. He did it again, and I threw him
out of the place for sona on grata. I threw
him out and that was it. I'm glad I did.
(21:53):
If you want another truth.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
He was stealing apparently young girls that worked in the
spot because he apparently had his own spa on Pedophile
Island and he was taking he was pulling them away,
and that's what he was so upset about. And then
Donald Trump also was asked point blank, have you ever
been to that island.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
And by the way, I never went to the island,
and Bill Clinton went there supposedly twenty eight times. I
never went to the island. But Larry Summers, I hear
went there. He was the head of Harvard and many
other people that are very big people. Nobody ever talks
about them. I never had the privilege of going to
his island, and I did turn it down, but a
(22:36):
lot of people in Palm Beach were invited to his island.
In one of my very good moments, I turned it down.
I didn't want to go to his island.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yeah, I can completely understand that. And I think the
reason that Donald Trump is reluctant to release these files
after saying he would, and I've said this many times,
and it just is the It's what makes the most
sense to me is that there are not just allegedly
Bill Clinton, and not just although it was very specific
(23:08):
when he said twenty eight times, and it's not just
allegedly Larry Summers and some other political figures. It's going
to be some very rich people and some powerful people
around the world that went to that island. And that
means lawsuits, and that means being in court and being
(23:30):
tied up in court. And that's what I believe Donald
Trump thought about when he got these files, and they
talked about what's on there and what's the accusations and
what proven and not proven because nothing was litigated with
those people, and so of course they're going to sue
to prevent the release of the files. And I think
that he was trying to avoid all of that. And
(23:51):
yet there's other things going on that nobody's paying attention to.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
I can say this, those files were run by the
worst come on earth. They were run by Komi, they
were run by Garland, they were run by Biden. If
they had anything, I assume they would have released it.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Isn't it amazing that the Democrats were so in to
Russia Gate. They wanted that there can't be any Russian collusion.
There can't be any Russian collusion, and we have to
stop that. We have to impeach the president over it.
And this has been proven, and of course there was
no proof. We ended up spending over forty million dollars
(24:33):
for the Mueller investigation and he came to the end
and he says, there's just no evidence of collusion between
the Donald Trump campaign and the Russians. But now there
is evidence of collusion not between not between the Trump campaign,
but with the Democrats in the Obama campaign. There's now
(24:54):
some of the files that are going to be released today.
As a matter of fact, the show the Russians knew
about this the campaign and approved of it. And so
now you've got all of this stuff coming out, and
it is damning. It is some of the top people
in government apparently run by John Brennan more than anybody else.
(25:16):
But there's so many more people. There's call Me, and
there's Obama, There's Hillary Clinton. There's so many big names
in the Democratic Party that are wrapped up in this.
And we have proof. There's files that are being released
that are being declassified right now. Isn't it amazing that
the Democrats have no interest in this? Now? I get it.
(25:40):
I mean, I understand it hurts their party. It's going
to hurt them in the midterms. I understand all of that.
What I don't understand is the lack of interest in
the media. This exposes them more than anything else that's
happened recently as being one sided. I know, I know
(26:02):
it seemed obvious before, but how about this, This is
a major scandal. This may be if it all plays out,
if it's all true, and it's right there in the documents,
they're releasing all of them. If it's all true that
they knew there was no Russian collusion, They knew that
the Hillary Clintons people made it up because they wanted
(26:25):
to Obfusekate and change the subject away from the fact
that she had this big computer and email scandal that's
in the files. The Obama administration was notified that that
was the strategy, so they already knew it was made up.
And then they got a huge Defense Department assessment saying no, no, no,
(26:49):
there's nothing there. There is an attempt at Russian collusion,
but the Trump campaign had nothing to do with that,
as we found out later with the Mower report, and
they decided to ignore that, to bury it, to try
to hide it, and they put out another assessment and
they wanted that one used instead, and they leaked it
(27:10):
to the media and they let Congress see it, and
then it paralyzed the country for a year. In the
whole Russia Gate thing, that's treasonous. That's people within a
government working against their own government for political reasons. That's conspiracy,
(27:32):
that's treason. And the media just doesn't seem to care
if this all plays out. And remember they play they
cared about every little nugget when it came to Russia Gate,
when it when it came to the Trump collusion story,
every little nugget was in the news. But this one
(27:54):
they don't care about at all, which is just amazing
to me, just amazing to me. I guess it shouldn't
be at this point, but you would think that this
is another one they could win Pulitzers on real pulitzers,
not ones that you're beginning back, and no interest at all.
(28:16):
I am so dishearted. The wind turbines off the Jersey
Shore are done for, and so are all plans for
wind power across the country. We'll talk about that next,
but right now I want to talk about see see radio.
Seacrane radio is just an amazing product, and think about
(28:38):
it right now with the tsunamis had power going off
in Hawaii, in Japan on the East coast, a radio
is really all you have as a connection to the
outside world. And if you get a sea crane radio,
solar bluetooth, you'll be unlike anyone else in your neighborhood
because you'll be able when the power goes out, when
(29:00):
the worst happens, You're going to be able to stay
connected with the outside world. Get Noah updates, get emergency
information updates. With great reception and voice focused audio. It
can get you over twenty five hundred stations, and it
doesn't matter that the power went out. This is solar powered.
(29:23):
It also has a crank in the back in case
the solar power doesn't work. It also has a backup battery.
It's got a flashlight build inside. And the most important
thing to us during our power outage is it can
charge your cell phones. You don't have to run to
Starbucks or someplace else to get your star to get
your phone charged. It is It is something every family
(29:46):
should have. The information you need when it matters most
call Seacrane at eight hundred five two two eight eight
six three. That's eight hundred five two two eight eight
sixty three, or visit them online at that's CcRn E
dot com. Hey, before I get to the wind turbines,
(30:07):
which is great news for the summer for New Jersey
and Long Islands and up through Connecticut, I do want
to talk real quick about the tariffs, because the deadline
is going to be on Friday with if there's no
deal struck. The deal is set in a letter that
Donald Trump sent out, and there's different numbers for different countries,
(30:31):
so I can't give you one, but it's going to
be at least twenty percent, as high as fifty percent
for Brazil because he's upset with Brazil for well a
lot of different political reasons. But I do want to
talk about what's happening right now at the White House.
Howard Lutnik is the chief negotiator for the Trump administration
on these tariffs, and he is amused at all of
(30:54):
the phone calls they're getting, all of the sudden right
before this deadline, cause I think everybody has been going, Wow,
this isn't for real. This is for real. Now they understand,
oh no, this is going to happen. As a matter
of fact, representatives from one country flew in unannounced to
Scotland during the President's trip there to try to talk
(31:15):
to them about tariffs.
Speaker 11 (31:16):
The South Koreans flew to Scotland to meet with me
an ambassador career after dinner. I mean, think of how
much they really really want to get a deal done.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
It sounds like that might happen too, And the talks
with China are going on. They have been eliminated from
the Friday deadline because they have the basis of a
deal and a bigger deal should be announced. They're just
not going to make it by Friday. So they're getting
an exemption China from this whole thing because there might
be an announcement sometime next week. But it's really important,
(31:50):
and not enough focuses on this on how much money
we are talking about for this country.
Speaker 12 (31:57):
These tariffs are going to bring in a very substant
amount of revenue. The work that my colleagues and I
did at the Yale Budget Lab estimates that the current
tariffs that are in place represent an increase in revenue
of about three trillion dollars over the course of the
next ten years. And actually, like the adminage, we should
give some credit where credit is due. Frankly, we are
in a fiscal position where we really do need to
(32:19):
raise revenue.
Speaker 8 (32:20):
Now.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
That is Natasha Sarin who runs the Yale University Budget Lab.
This is their job. They study these things. A completely
independent source that was interviewed on MSNBC. So just understand
that this is real. This is a lot of money
(32:43):
coming in. And you keep talking about the deficit, the deficit,
the deficit. What cures the deficit? Money like this coming
into the country, and so it's nothing but good news.
Now let's talk about those wind turbines, something that Donald
Trump has hated for a long time, and finally he's
done something about it with an executive order.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
We will not allow a windmill to be built in
the United States. They're killing as they're killing the beauty
of our scenery, our valleys, our beautiful planes. And you
look up and you see windmills all over the place.
It's a horrible thing. It's the most expensive form of energy.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
It's no good whales, dolphins, wildlife. It was bad for
the ecology. They talked about it fighting global warming. They
actually warm the ocean when they're put out in the ocean.
Everything about it is bad. And it's not a profitable
business that has to be subsidized by us, by you
(33:38):
and I. It takes tax mayers payers money to keep
these things running. It has never been sustainable. And yet
the Biden administration spent hundreds of billions of dollars on this,
and we have these monstrosities off the Jersey shoreline.
Speaker 13 (33:57):
In New Jersey. The last pristine vista we have is
my district. It's the Jersey Shore, and wind turbines are
killing the whales, they're industrializing the ocean. These are all
things that Democrats used to care about back in the day,
and they just don't seem to anymore. A couple million
dollars in campaign donations later, yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
That's exactly what it was. A lot of people got
a lot of money from these wind turbine companies. That's
Assemblyman Paul Kanetra, who is from Point Pleasant. He used
to be the mayor of Point Pleasant. Now he's an assemblyman,
and he says people are changing their feelings about these turbines,
especially in New Jersey, are changing when it comes to
(34:38):
wind power.
Speaker 13 (34:39):
The more that people find out, the more people are
against this. Over fifty percent of the population in New
Jersey is against offshore win and obviously at the Jersey
Shore it's over eighty percent.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Right, It's never been popular at the Jersey Shore because
they don't want to look out and see these They're ugly,
these wind turbine monstrosities, and they're the ones I have
had to deal with the carcasses from the whales. They're
the ones that I've had to deal with, all the
dead dolphins. I was down at my niece's place in
Sea Isle City and they had twelve dead dolphins show
(35:12):
up right when they started to build these turbines. Because
of all the ships and construction going on out there,
they just came up and killed themselves to get away
from what was going on. Thank god they're done. Another question,
who was to blame for the starvation in Gaza. I
will guarantee Jeffrey Lickman will have a strong opinion about this.
