Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning to you man. That was a miracle the
way they fought that fire in New Jersey. Kudos to
the firefighters, and that leads off our Big three today.
It was a miracle fueled by the heroic work of
Ocean County firefighters that fought back one of the biggest
wildfires in New Jersey history, and it ended up taking
(00:21):
only one building.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
No residential structures were lost. We did lose one commercial structure.
Some outbuildings were also affected in several vehicles as well.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Coming up at A thirty five, we'll speak with Bob Nosty,
the man who had the one business that was destroyed
by the fire. The body is of a woman known
as Peaches because of her tattoo, and her two year
old daughter, dubbed Baby Doe, have been identified as Tanya
and Titanya Dykes from Alabama. They were found near Gilgo
(00:57):
Beach over twenty years ago.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Now, although Tanya and Tatiana have commonly been linked to
the Gilgo Beach serial killings because the timing and locations
of their recovered remains, we are not discounting the possibility
that the cases are unrelated. From that investigation, speculation and
theories by people and on the internet should not be
brought into this.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
And after the arrest of twenty seven Trenda Aragua members
in New York City borders are Tom Holman is praising
Mayor Adams.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
What's specifically important to me about New York's and Mayor
Adams was getting beat up by the left were cooperating
with us. Look what transpired the Look at the lies
we saved in New York City. Right at the same time,
we got the City Council follow a lawsuit to shut
down our memorandum, our understanding, the executive work he's signed
to get us some Rikers Island. We've proved gesture what
(01:51):
collaboration can do for the safety and security in New York.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
And a new poll is out and it shows AOC
Alexandria Oconsi Cortes is the most popular Democrat in the state,
maybe the most popular politician in the state, and would
beat Chuck Schumer if she ran for his Senate seat.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
But I really think she has her eye on something bigger.
I think she looks at running for president and taking
the mantle from Bernie Sanders. You know, Nate Silver said
that he thinks she could beat the pick.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
A lot more about AOC and the Siena Pol coming up,
but let's talk about the wildfires yesterday, the historic wildfires yesterday,
because the job done by those firefighters is nothing short
of miraculous. It was an enormous wildfire, and you'll hear
(02:44):
in a second some of them said it was spreading
like it was napalms across the ground, and those firefighters
stood their ground. We played yesterday, we played some of
the radio chatter back and forth, and you heard, you
could hear in their voices what those firefighters were dealing
(03:06):
with and they stood their ground. All those firefighters in
Ocean County are heroes today. They're still out there fighting it.
By the way, last night, I guess it was fifty
percent contained. That may have changed by now, but what
(03:26):
an incredible job by them. And listen, by the way,
if you were affected by the fire yesterday, if you
were in the area, if you had to evacuate, or
even if you were driving and you saw it and
you had to find another route, we would love to
hear from you today. You can call into eight hundred
(03:46):
three two one zero seven ten eight hundred and three
to two one zero seven ten, or go to our
talkback by going to the iHeartRadio app and look for
seven ten wor and leave us a talkback. There is
so much to talk about with this fire right now,
but leave it to say it was one of the
(04:08):
biggest fires in New Jersey history.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Air Quality alerts in effect near the fire in South Jersey,
but they'll start at midnight in New York City, Long Island,
the Hudson Valley. The winds are shifting, let's track the smoke.
It'll reach New York City during the late evening, but
the wind strengthened during the day tomorrow and that could spread.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Some of that smoke all the way to the Hudson Valley.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
And even into Connecticut, meaning poor air quality for really
sensitive groups.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
That's what we're going to be dealing with today and
into tomorrow, right throughout the area. Last night, I guess
we heard from some people who had bad air quality problems,
people with respiratory problems, and it's going to go up
into Connecticut. But it's going to be You heard raced
Agic talk about that just a second ago, that it's
going to be. It's going to be tough out there,
(04:52):
but not anywhere as tough as it is out there
at Ocean County right now, where this fire spread so quickly,
so quickly that firefighters had a heck of a time
trying to control it.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
New Jersey has some of the most violatile wildland fuels
in the entire country. You know, everybody's used to seeing
California and things like that, that chaparral that burns up
them hills and goes crazy. Well, these pine barns out
here are the exact same type of fuel model. They
are just like having napalm spread across the ground.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
And right now what the firefighters are trying to do now.
I said last night it was fifty percent contained. This
morning it's it's probably like around thirty percent, but I'm
just guessing at that. They said they'll have another figure
out this morning, but they said they're really fighting it back.
The concern at this point, the real concern by the
(05:48):
firefighters is that it sparks up again, which is why
they are soaking the ground anywhere near the fire scene.
In the meantime, all of the power should be back on.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
At this point, around five thousand residents were under either
mandatory or voluntary evacuations, and those evacuation orders have been lifted.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
But as we said, it may be one of the
biggest firefighters in history, but it is definitely one of
the biggest fires in the last twenty years.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Ultimately, when all is said and done, a greater number
of acreage affected, and this could very well end up
being the largest wildfire in New Jersey in twenty years.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
So how much acreage exactly?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
The wildfire stands at about eleven thousand, five hundred acres
and thirty percent containment. We fully expect that that number
will grow.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
So there you go. That was the latest at thirty
percent containment, and there will be another press conference today
a little bit later at either ten or eleven o'clock.
But the bottom line is it was a miracle what
the firefighters did out there, and they're still out there
(07:14):
fighting this fire. So if you live in Ocean County
and you see a firefighter, just do me a favor
and go up and tell them how it'ch appreciate what
they did. They were outmanned, they were out gunned, and
they were able to control this fire. So we didn't
have one loss of life, some damage to cars and
(07:35):
some other buildings, but only one building was lost. It
is an absolute miracle brought on by professionals and some
great work by the firefighters in Ocean County. So kudos
to all of you. Let's talk about this pole for
a second, which is there's so much that is stunning
(07:56):
about this pole. For one thing, something that is stunning
is that Kathy Hokeel has made a huge comeback and
is far in front against the people that are expected
to run against her. Much of this is because of
the policies and because she is taking on Donald Trump,
who is extremely unpopular in New York State as you
(08:19):
can imagine, but there's strong support for Hokul's budget issues.
The school cell phone ban is a big deal, the
mask ban is a big deal, and so everything she's
been doing recently, apparently the state has liked. You'll remember
she was underwater in the polls and now she's popular
(08:42):
all of a sudden and is expected to win the
Democratic primary easily. And the other big surprise, and we'll
get to AOC a little bit later, the other big
surprise is on the Republican side. Now this was taken
before I will say Elise Stefonic got in the race.
(09:03):
They did this polling before that. So everything's going to change.
But in a race right now between Bruce Blakeman, who
is the county executive in Nassau County, and Congressman Lawler,
Blakeman wins. I think everybody thought it was gonna be
(09:24):
Lawlor until a Lease Stefanic came along. But Blakeman has
support across the state, not just in Long Island, so
what they I don't even know what to make of
this pole. It also showed by the way that Andrew
Cuomo still is at thirty four percent and that zorham
(09:45):
Mam Danni is at sixteen percent, a lot closer than
another poles. And I take this one more seriously than
all the other poles because all the other poles are
these polls that spring up and it's a little suspicious
who's paying for them. This one one really shows what's
going on, I believe, and so Andrew Cuomo again far
(10:07):
out in front, but it's a little bit closer than
in past polls. The body of Pope Francis is lying
in state at the Vatican right now as preparations are
underway for Saturday's funeral, and in Rome is wour host
rob Astorino. We're gonna talk with him next and stay
with us because at age twenty five, we have tickets
(10:29):
to the Brotherhood of Rock Tour.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
Jay Glazier, LeVar Arrington here join us for Draft Night
Live on Fox Sports.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Radio Thursday night at eight pm Eastern.
Speaker 8 (10:38):
Just search Fox Sports Radio and make it your next
preset on the iHeartRadio app sevent war Nancy.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Airlineing Well, the body of Pope Francis is lying in
state at the Vatican as preparations are underway right now
for Saturday's funeral. Also at the Vatican is Rob Astorino,
our own Rob Astorno, host of The Rob Astorno Show
on WOR Saturdays from four to five. He's also host
of Saturday Agenda from one to three on Newsmax, and
(11:10):
former Westchester County executive. Hey, Rob, can you just set
the scene for us and tell us what it's like
at the Vatican.
Speaker 9 (11:19):
Well, I'm at Saint Patrick's now, I'm like kidding, Yeah,
I'm here in Rome. It's been an interesting several days, Larry,
because I got here Tuesday morning and he had died
the day before Tuesday. I think Monday. I spoke to you, right,
I was in Madrid, and I got here on Tuesday
and it was like a normal day, you know, the
(11:40):
Vatican was open for people to go in, and the
tourists were going to the Vatican Museum because nothing public
had happened yet. And then on Wednesday, yesterday, when he
started to lie in state, everything kind of changed and
they were lines for five hours. Five hours I mean
for those froomailiar with the Vatican, the Via dela Conci,
(12:04):
which is that long kind of pedestrian road that goes
from the bridge straight into the Vatican. Then the obelists
packed and all around the streets packed to get in.
Literally people waiting five hours. And it was warm yesterday,
so people were passing out. There's so many medics around here,
but the faithful were being faithful and they were going
(12:25):
in to see him. They actually extended the hours into
the evening. It's still long lines today, but a little
less so. And the schedule is Lion state today tomorrow,
and then tomorrow night at Holy two pm New York time,
they'll have the ceremony to formally close the casket, and
then the following day on Saturday as the funeral.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
And when the funeral happens, you have the most powerful
people in the world, including Donald Javin Malany is showing
up there are I would imagine I can answer my
own question, but I think the security for that is
going to be something that they haven't seen for a
long time. At the Vatican.
Speaker 9 (13:07):
It's going to be crazy. I mean, right now you
can kind of get around. There are areas that are
cordoned off the people cannot go, but for the most part,
it's just crowded, but you can move around. You're right.
At some point on Saturday, there's going to be restrictions
everywhere and lockdowns everywhere, and I mean, we have our
(13:28):
own location where we're going to be, so I think
we're just going to have to be set there as
all the media. I mean, you know what kind of
happens here. It's just worldwide media, worldwide tourism. It's just
incredible time and it kind of connected with Easter, and
it's a jubilee year, so every twenty five years the
(13:49):
Catholic Church does something big. And they had literally hundreds
of thousands of kids from around the world that were
supposed to go to a Mass with Pope Francis obviously
changed to something more historical. They're going to the funeral
po Prancis.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Yeah, but everything you just mentioned is a nightmare for security.
All of those total they're going to have to just
all those people, all the faithful you were just talking about,
I would imagine they're all going to be cleared out.
Speaker 9 (14:19):
Well, yeah, I mean to get inside the Basilica for
the actual funeral is something totally different. People can probably
stay outside and watch it on video screens, but it's
just gonna be I wouldn't want I'm faithful, I wouldn't
want to be anywhere near this pon. It literally is
(14:40):
just you know, packed with human beings.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
No, that's what it is. And is it like that
right now? I mean, what can You're in a position
right now where you can see what's going on there.
Speaker 9 (14:53):
Yeah, I'm in Saint Peter Square, so you know, if
people are getner familiar with you have the obelisk, that
big kind of oval area, and then to the Basilica.
Normally it would be packed inside. Again, it's lines of
people coming in. Probably ten to fifteen people wide is
the line that goes into the Basilica, and god knows
(15:15):
how many thousands and thousands long waiting to get in.
So it's just it's an really interesting time obviously to
be here.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yeah, it's amazing that you were there for this is
Newsmac's going to use you. Are you going to do
hits for them during the funeral?
Speaker 9 (15:31):
Well, yeah, I'm doing my TV show from here in
Rome on Saturday, my radio show for w R here
on Saturday. And you know, he died on a day
that worked out for my schedule. Larry I was in
Madrid ready to come.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (15:51):
They said, hey, Coder Romanstead for the week and cover
it for us. He said, okay, well.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
We were fortunate that you're there, and we'll talk to
you again tomorrow. Rob Astorino, host of The Rob Astorino
Show on WOR Saturdays from four to five, host of
you Know what He's going to be covering on Saturday,
host of Saturday Agenda from one to three on Newsmax,
and of course, former Westchester County executive. Now, let's go
to Jackline Carl with the six thirty News, Jacklin, Good morning.
Speaker 10 (16:17):
Smoke from the New Jersey wildfire is now forcing an
air quality alert for New York City. Fire Crews continue
to make progress on the Jones Road wildfire and Ocean County,
which has destroyed over thirteen thousand acres since Tuesday morning
and is now about approximately fifty percent contained. Over five
thousand people were forced to evacuate because of the fire
(16:38):
and Harvey Weinstein's rape trial is under way in Manhattan,
with the prosecutor portraying the former movie producer as a
gatekeeper who wielded tremendous power in Hollywood.
Speaker 11 (16:48):
In her opening statement, prosecutor Shannon Lacy said Weinstein wanted
his victims' bodies, and the more they resisted, the more
forceful he got. Weinstein's lawyer, Arthur Idollick, counter that while
the movie mogul's behavior was possibly immoral, it was not illegal,
and said the casting couch is not a crime scene.
Weinstein is being retried after the State of Pills Court
(17:11):
last year overturned to his twenty twenty conviction because of error.
His retrial involves three alleged victims, a production assistant, an
aspiring actress, and a new accuser, Sarah Lee Kessler wr News.
Speaker 10 (17:25):
So you know who thinks social media is bad for
young people? Young people? According to CNN, a new Pew
Research Center survey reveals that nearly half of US teens
believe social media negatively affects their peers' mental health. In fact,
forty four percent of teens surveyed think that social media
is mostly harmful to people their own age. Teen cited
(17:47):
issues like cyberbullying, unrealistic beauty standards, and the pressure to
appear perfect online as major concerns.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
So what have your kids said about this? What are
your kids think?
Speaker 10 (17:58):
I know that they're not teens now, right or Larry,
you might have a teen yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Well eighteen now, but he doesn't talk too much about
social media. I know he's on social media a lot,
but he hasn't had the problem. Although I've have nieces
and nephews who had real problems with bullying. It's something
that has to be It's something that really has to
be dealt with because it's a real serious problem.
Speaker 10 (18:22):
Natalie, what do you think? What if your kids said
about social media and how it affects them.
Speaker 12 (18:26):
You know, it's interesting because I have a boy and
a girl, and I think they look at it differently.
I think it definitely affected my daughter a lot more.
I was going to say, I bet it affects girls
more definitely, and I was happy to see. At some
point she kind of pulled back from it. She doesn't post.
She does, you know, she's on it a lot though,
but you have to be I know, have to.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Be on it.
Speaker 12 (18:50):
It's their connection to the world unfortunately. But yeah, I
would say if I spoke to her really candidly about it,
she would tell me that it's not.
Speaker 11 (19:00):
A good place.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
My niece, who has four girls, had the greatest, the
greatest rule, he said, anytime they went to a party,
anytime they went to the mall, people had to put
away their phones because when you post that you're there
and having a good time, you're hurting somebody else's feelings.
Someone else has left out. So no phones, no pictures,
no social media the entire time you're there. I think
(19:22):
that's healthy.
Speaker 10 (19:22):
There's got to be some kind of class that some
expert can give, like and put on YouTube because that's
a great idea what you just said, Larry. And there's
got to be more stuff because you're not going to
keep them off it.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
No, and the bullying on it is awful. I give
that's a it's a great story and you're right we
should talk more about it. Thanks so much. Jacque Line
Carl with the six thirty News. In the meantime, borders
are Tom home and man is he mad? He's getting
fed up with the media and used an arrest in
New York to make his point that working with ice
(19:57):
makes cities safer. I'm home and is up next, and also,
don't forget you can leave us a talkback all morning long.
Go to seven to ten WOR on the iHeartRadio app
and click the microphone and when you're there, put seven
to ten WOR on your presets. Can we just talk
for a moment about how insane the City Council is
(20:19):
in New York, the fact that they're suing Mayor Adams
for trying to make New York safer. Everything that Democratic
politicians have done in New York State and in New
York City has made this city unsafe, has led to
the death of people, has led to people being assaulted.
(20:42):
Everything they've done, every single thing, the sanctuary city policy,
bail reform, not being able to go to rikers to
pick up people who are here illegally and commit crimes,
all of that, all of these policies, it's a long list.
I just named a couple. It's a long list of
policies all to help criminals. There's no other way to
(21:03):
say it. That's absolutely true, that's not hyperbole. All to
help criminals. They want to make New York City safer
for criminals, not for the rest of us, but for criminals.
And it's amazing what can happen when the federal government,
(21:24):
who's seen as the devil the criminals aren't. The criminals
are aggrieved. The criminals need sympathy. They'll just get better
if we let them be free. It's the bad people
at the federal government. They're the ice Oh man, They're
(21:46):
horrible people. And yet they continue to take serious threats
off our street. They're actually saving lives. And I bring
all this up because use ice is way more effective
when the cities work with them. That type of partnership
(22:11):
of the city, of the state, of the federal government
working together. It is playing out in Republican states right now.
That's why the crime rate in some of these cities
that was high is is almost nil now, especially when
it comes to serious crimes. But we had an example
of that this week in New York City, a wonderful
(22:34):
example of this when the state and the NYPD and
the federal government all came together and made a major bust.
Speaker 13 (22:45):
You're here today, so house A sleeping in dieted to
be the Southern District of New York and charging twenty
seven alleged tree Aravo gang members with charges ranking from raggetteering,
sex trafficking, narcotics, robbery, karjacking, and firearms related defences.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
And they saved women that were actually being held for
human trafficking. Who can be against that and yet there
are It makes it's insane, It makes no sense. And
Tom Homan, by the way, was there at that news conference.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Well, we sign a strong message trendago, We're going to
keep doing this. So every TDA member MSA team members
were moved from the.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Country, right. And the human trafficking is you know, trying
to find these kids that it just went missing where
their parents wanted a better life for them, so handed
them over to the cartels, hoping that bring them to America.
Well they did, and they're being human trafficked. And by
the way, they found that immense when they read made
these are twenty seven arrest they found an immense human
(23:52):
trafficking organization.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
The underlying offenses were sex trafficking, gun trafficking, drug trafficking,
murder for hire. We seize a lot of weapons, and
we rescue some victims of.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Sex trafficking, right, dozens dozens of young women that were
being held by trend de arragua and use for sex trafficking.
So now, please make the argument about letting them out
back on the streets. Make that argument, because that's what
happens every day in New York because the Democrats want
(24:27):
it that way. I don't get it. Now, make the
argument about having a sanctuary city so that you can't
work with ICE to make these arrests. What is the
logical argument to that? Please make it for me, because
there is none yep. Call in if you have an
argument against this one eight hundred three two one zero
(24:49):
seven ten. I'd love to hear it. But there are
arguments against it, and in New York City they're winning
because they're in the majority. It makes no sense whatsoever.
The City Council is suing Mayor Adams because he's working
with us and allowing them to pick up criminals at
(25:11):
Rikers Island. They want that stopped. That's how insane this
world is.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Right now, what's specifically important to me about New York's
Mayor Adams, who's getting beat up by the left were
cooperating with us. Look what transpired. Look at the Look
at the lies we say in New York City. Right
at the same time, you got the City Council follow
a lawsuit to shut down our memorandum of understanding, the
executive work he's signed to get us some Rikers Island.
We proved yesture what collaboration can do for the safety
(25:39):
and security of New York.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Absolutely, absolutely they. Mayor Adams right now is a hero
for working with Tom Home and making the streets safer.
Have you noticed the crime rate? Have you noticed that
not every day Now we're talking about some horrible murder.
The city is safer because Mayor Adams is working with
(26:03):
Tom Holman and with Ice, and people want to stop that.
People think that's a horrible thing, including the corrupt City
Council President Adrian Adams, who is leading the lawsuit. And
of course all of those people think Kelmar of Brago Garcia,
(26:24):
he should be brought back home because he's an upstanding
citizen who, by the way, is not a citizen, he's
an upstanding citizen of Al Salvador.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
We removed an MS th eighteen gang member public safety threat.
Wife Peter designated terrorists from the United States. He's home,
He's a citizen Al Salvador, a native El Salvador, who
had due process, despite what you're hearing, been order removed
(26:53):
by two separate immigration judges, ordered to be removed by
two separate immigration judges.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
That never comes up in the in the media, that
they never talk about that, and the media has just
been horrendous.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
I find it incredible that there's all this push for
more and more and more due process, more process for
these dosign ety terrorsts, but in fact, no one asked
for due process when they crossed the border. No one
asked for betting when they crossed the border. Where was
all the media? Where were allowed of you all, folks
when ten point five million people came to border and
(27:29):
you're silent? Where were a lot of these folks when
you had six hundred percent increase in sex trafficking women
and showld there? Where was everybody who had a quarter
million Americans dying from fatanahl that come to that open border.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Where where where's all the anger?
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Then?
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Where was all the press? Then that's a great point.
The press was basically silent. They believed the Biden administration
when they said the border was secure, even though you
could just take a camera down there and see that
millions were coming over. The media was an embarrassment. The
Democrats are an It's why the approval numbers for both
(28:02):
are so low right now, and they're going to continue
continue to be low if they don't get their act
together in the meantime. Another thing that they went against
with the tariffs war, which by the way, we're winning now.
Have an update on that when we come right back.
You do have to feel sorry for the Democratic Party
every once in a while because everything they think is
(28:24):
an issue. Every time they think they have an issue,
it just blows up in their faces. The guy down
at El Salvador, of course, that's Brigo Garcia. That's blown
up in their face. They seemingly have stopped to talk
about that. Nobody's even talking about it anymore. We don't
even know. I don't even know what happened to the
four Democratic congressmen that went down to Wel Salvador and
said they weren't going to leave unless they got them
(28:46):
out of there. I think they're still there. It's just
not an issue anymore. And the tariffs now, if you've noticed,
the Democratic Party is now pulling back on the tariffs
because the way it is trending right now, the way
it's looking, we're gonna have new tariffs more beneficial to
(29:07):
the United States than at any time well in probably
one hundred years, and it's going to happen quicker than
we thought it was gonna happen. Donald Trump obviously did
this early because he thought it would take months, and
he was willing to take the hit to bring back
the economy to where it should be because right now
(29:29):
we were spiraling towards in a death row. It was
the economy was going to crash. We couldn't sustain having
a federal deficit the way we had and then also
having a trade deficit. It just wasn't gonna work. So
he had to reset the entire economy. And when he
came out and talked about the tariffs, as you'll remember,
(29:52):
and I say it every single day about the tariffs,
and I said it right when he talked about it, wait,
just wait, And of course they did. In the stock market.
The stock market's been up the last couple of days,
but the stock market crashed and everybody was the media
was really upset, and the Democrats were saying, oh my goodness,
he's going to ruin everything. It's chaos like we told
(30:14):
you it was going to be. And look at us. Now.
Speaker 14 (30:18):
What's happened is we've how many countries have we spoken
to already ninety and they all want to make deals,
and we're going to make deals, but they're going to
be fair deals.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Let me give you an example of a deal, one
that's already been sketched out, and one that looks like
it's going to happen. It is with India. Kevin Hassett
is the head of the Institute of Politics and Public Service.
He's also the director of the National Economic Council in
the Trump administration, and he said, what's happening with India,
(30:53):
which really nobody's been talking about, is stunning.
Speaker 15 (30:58):
But we're very optimistic about Chia, and especially optimistic about
just about everybody else.
Speaker 13 (31:03):
You know.
Speaker 15 (31:04):
We announced that we've got basically an outline of a
deal with India. And that's especially interesting because if you
think about the countries we talked about non tariff barriers
and tariffs that are hiring American workers. If you think
about the countries that have really been about the worst
offenders over time, India's right near the top of the list, so.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
To get a deal with India where we were way
out of whack with the tariffs with India, we were
at about ten percent on some of their products. They
were near one hundred percent. And they've come and said
they want a deal and one has been sketched out,
and they said it's probably going to be announced because
all the details are there right now. It just has
(31:42):
to be written out and signed that that is going
to happen within the week. And there are eighteen other
proposals that are ready to be examined and we have
to say whether we want it or not, or whether
we want to negotiate more. And when this all happens
across the board, China's going to be the toughest. You're
(32:04):
absolutely right, that's what you're thinking. China's going to be
the toughest, although there's talks going on with China as
well too. When this all happens, it's going to save
this country an immense amount of money.
Speaker 14 (32:16):
It's going to make a lot of money for our people.
We'll be able to lower taxes substantially, and we're going
to be proud of ourselves.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
They're not going to be a laughing stock.
Speaker 14 (32:25):
Got taken advantage of by virtually every country in the.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
World, by the way, the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen spoke
in front of the World Bank yesterday and chastise them
for the way they've handled the economy and how unfair
they've been, and how they've taken advantage of the United
States America.
Speaker 16 (32:46):
Firth does not mean America alone. To the contrary, it
is a call for deeper collaboration and mutual respect among trade.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Partners, something that hasn't happened in the past. He's saying
right now is if you treat us fairly, we're going
to treat you fairly, and we're all gonna make money.
But what is going to stop happening in the world
right now is that you take us for suckers and
that the tariffs are unfair and not even on both sides.
(33:18):
That's going to end, and thank god, it's going to
end for generations. We're going to remember what happened in
this last few months. In the meantime, the Vice President
of Norway was at the White House talking about what
else what we've been talking about tariffs. White House correspondent
John Decker has more on that meeting, and that's coming
(33:39):
up right after the seven o'clock news
Good morning to you man. That was a miracle the
way they fought that fire in New Jersey. Kudos to
the firefighters, and that leads off our Big three today.
It was a miracle fueled by the heroic work of
Ocean County firefighters that fought back one of the biggest
wildfires in New Jersey history, and it ended up taking
(00:21):
only one building.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
No residential structures were lost. We did lose one commercial structure.
Some outbuildings were also affected in several vehicles as well.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Coming up at A thirty five, we'll speak with Bob Nosty,
the man who had the one business that was destroyed
by the fire. The body is of a woman known
as Peaches because of her tattoo, and her two year
old daughter, dubbed Baby Doe, have been identified as Tanya
and Titanya Dykes from Alabama. They were found near Gilgo
(00:57):
Beach over twenty years ago.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Now, although Tanya and Tatiana have commonly been linked to
the Gilgo Beach serial killings because the timing and locations
of their recovered remains, we are not discounting the possibility
that the cases are unrelated. From that investigation, speculation and
theories by people and on the internet should not be
brought into this.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
And after the arrest of twenty seven Trenda Aragua members
in New York City borders are Tom Holman is praising
Mayor Adams.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
What's specifically important to me about New York's and Mayor
Adams was getting beat up by the left were cooperating
with us. Look what transpired the Look at the lies
we saved in New York City. Right at the same time,
we got the City Council follow a lawsuit to shut
down our memorandum, our understanding, the executive work he's signed
to get us some Rikers Island. We've proved gesture what
(01:51):
collaboration can do for the safety and security in New York.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
And a new poll is out and it shows AOC
Alexandria Oconsi Cortes is the most popular Democrat in the state,
maybe the most popular politician in the state, and would
beat Chuck Schumer if she ran for his Senate seat.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
But I really think she has her eye on something bigger.
I think she looks at running for president and taking
the mantle from Bernie Sanders. You know, Nate Silver said
that he thinks she could beat the pick.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
A lot more about AOC and the Siena Pol coming up,
but let's talk about the wildfires yesterday, the historic wildfires yesterday,
because the job done by those firefighters is nothing short
of miraculous. It was an enormous wildfire, and you'll hear
(02:44):
in a second some of them said it was spreading
like it was napalms across the ground, and those firefighters
stood their ground. We played yesterday, we played some of
the radio chatter back and forth, and you heard, you
could hear in their voices what those firefighters were dealing
(03:06):
with and they stood their ground. All those firefighters in
Ocean County are heroes today. They're still out there fighting it.
By the way, last night, I guess it was fifty
percent contained. That may have changed by now, but what
(03:26):
an incredible job by them. And listen, by the way,
if you were affected by the fire yesterday, if you
were in the area, if you had to evacuate, or
even if you were driving and you saw it and
you had to find another route, we would love to
hear from you today. You can call into eight hundred
(03:46):
three two one zero seven ten eight hundred and three
to two one zero seven ten, or go to our
talkback by going to the iHeartRadio app and look for
seven ten wor and leave us a talkback. There is
so much to talk about with this fire right now,
but leave it to say it was one of the
(04:08):
biggest fires in New Jersey history.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Air Quality alerts in effect near the fire in South Jersey,
but they'll start at midnight in New York City, Long Island,
the Hudson Valley. The winds are shifting, let's track the smoke.
It'll reach New York City during the late evening, but
the wind strengthened during the day tomorrow and that could spread.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Some of that smoke all the way to the Hudson Valley.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
And even into Connecticut, meaning poor air quality for really
sensitive groups.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
That's what we're going to be dealing with today and
into tomorrow, right throughout the area. Last night, I guess
we heard from some people who had bad air quality problems,
people with respiratory problems, and it's going to go up
into Connecticut. But it's going to be You heard raced
Agic talk about that just a second ago, that it's
going to be. It's going to be tough out there,
(04:52):
but not anywhere as tough as it is out there
at Ocean County right now, where this fire spread so quickly,
so quickly that firefighters had a heck of a time
trying to control it.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
New Jersey has some of the most violatile wildland fuels
in the entire country. You know, everybody's used to seeing
California and things like that, that chaparral that burns up
them hills and goes crazy. Well, these pine barns out
here are the exact same type of fuel model. They
are just like having napalm spread across the ground.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
And right now what the firefighters are trying to do now.
I said last night it was fifty percent contained. This
morning it's it's probably like around thirty percent, but I'm
just guessing at that. They said they'll have another figure
out this morning, but they said they're really fighting it back.
The concern at this point, the real concern by the
(05:48):
firefighters is that it sparks up again, which is why
they are soaking the ground anywhere near the fire scene.
In the meantime, all of the power should be back on.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
At this point, around five thousand residents were under either
mandatory or voluntary evacuations, and those evacuation orders have been lifted.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
But as we said, it may be one of the
biggest firefighters in history, but it is definitely one of
the biggest fires in the last twenty years.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Ultimately, when all is said and done, a greater number
of acreage affected, and this could very well end up
being the largest wildfire in New Jersey in twenty years.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
So how much acreage exactly?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
The wildfire stands at about eleven thousand, five hundred acres
and thirty percent containment. We fully expect that that number
will grow.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
So there you go. That was the latest at thirty
percent containment, and there will be another press conference today
a little bit later at either ten or eleven o'clock.
But the bottom line is it was a miracle what
the firefighters did out there, and they're still out there
(07:14):
fighting this fire. So if you live in Ocean County
and you see a firefighter, just do me a favor
and go up and tell them how it'ch appreciate what
they did. They were outmanned, they were out gunned, and
they were able to control this fire. So we didn't
have one loss of life, some damage to cars and
(07:35):
some other buildings, but only one building was lost. It
is an absolute miracle brought on by professionals and some
great work by the firefighters in Ocean County. So kudos
to all of you. Let's talk about this pole for
a second, which is there's so much that is stunning
(07:56):
about this pole. For one thing, something that is stunning
is that Kathy Hokeel has made a huge comeback and
is far in front against the people that are expected
to run against her. Much of this is because of
the policies and because she is taking on Donald Trump,
who is extremely unpopular in New York State as you
(08:19):
can imagine, but there's strong support for Hokul's budget issues.
The school cell phone ban is a big deal, the
mask ban is a big deal, and so everything she's
been doing recently, apparently the state has liked. You'll remember
she was underwater in the polls and now she's popular
(08:42):
all of a sudden and is expected to win the
Democratic primary easily. And the other big surprise, and we'll
get to AOC a little bit later, the other big
surprise is on the Republican side. Now this was taken
before I will say Elise Stefonic got in the race.
(09:03):
They did this polling before that. So everything's going to change.
But in a race right now between Bruce Blakeman, who
is the county executive in Nassau County, and Congressman Lawler,
Blakeman wins. I think everybody thought it was gonna be
(09:24):
Lawlor until a Lease Stefanic came along. But Blakeman has
support across the state, not just in Long Island, so
what they I don't even know what to make of
this pole. It also showed by the way that Andrew
Cuomo still is at thirty four percent and that zorham
(09:45):
Mam Danni is at sixteen percent, a lot closer than
another poles. And I take this one more seriously than
all the other poles because all the other poles are
these polls that spring up and it's a little suspicious
who's paying for them. This one one really shows what's
going on, I believe, and so Andrew Cuomo again far
(10:07):
out in front, but it's a little bit closer than
in past polls. The body of Pope Francis is lying
in state at the Vatican right now as preparations are
underway for Saturday's funeral, and in Rome is wour host
rob Astorino. We're gonna talk with him next and stay
with us because at age twenty five, we have tickets
(10:29):
to the Brotherhood of Rock Tour.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
Jay Glazier, LeVar Arrington here join us for Draft Night
Live on Fox Sports.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Radio Thursday night at eight pm Eastern.
Speaker 8 (10:38):
Just search Fox Sports Radio and make it your next
preset on the iHeartRadio app sevent war Nancy.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Airlineing Well, the body of Pope Francis is lying in
state at the Vatican as preparations are underway right now
for Saturday's funeral. Also at the Vatican is Rob Astorino,
our own Rob Astorno, host of The Rob Astorno Show
on WOR Saturdays from four to five. He's also host
of Saturday Agenda from one to three on Newsmax, and
(11:10):
former Westchester County executive. Hey, Rob, can you just set
the scene for us and tell us what it's like
at the Vatican.
Speaker 9 (11:19):
Well, I'm at Saint Patrick's now, I'm like kidding, Yeah,
I'm here in Rome. It's been an interesting several days, Larry,
because I got here Tuesday morning and he had died
the day before Tuesday. I think Monday. I spoke to you, right,
I was in Madrid, and I got here on Tuesday
and it was like a normal day, you know, the
(11:40):
Vatican was open for people to go in, and the
tourists were going to the Vatican Museum because nothing public
had happened yet. And then on Wednesday, yesterday, when he
started to lie in state, everything kind of changed and
they were lines for five hours. Five hours I mean
for those froomailiar with the Vatican, the Via dela Conci,
(12:04):
which is that long kind of pedestrian road that goes
from the bridge straight into the Vatican. Then the obelists
packed and all around the streets packed to get in.
Literally people waiting five hours. And it was warm yesterday,
so people were passing out. There's so many medics around here,
but the faithful were being faithful and they were going
(12:25):
in to see him. They actually extended the hours into
the evening. It's still long lines today, but a little
less so. And the schedule is Lion state today tomorrow,
and then tomorrow night at Holy two pm New York time,
they'll have the ceremony to formally close the casket, and
then the following day on Saturday as the funeral.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
And when the funeral happens, you have the most powerful
people in the world, including Donald Javin Malany is showing
up there are I would imagine I can answer my
own question, but I think the security for that is
going to be something that they haven't seen for a
long time. At the Vatican.
Speaker 9 (13:07):
It's going to be crazy. I mean, right now you
can kind of get around. There are areas that are
cordoned off the people cannot go, but for the most part,
it's just crowded, but you can move around. You're right.
At some point on Saturday, there's going to be restrictions
everywhere and lockdowns everywhere, and I mean, we have our
(13:28):
own location where we're going to be, so I think
we're just going to have to be set there as
all the media. I mean, you know what kind of
happens here. It's just worldwide media, worldwide tourism. It's just
incredible time and it kind of connected with Easter, and
it's a jubilee year, so every twenty five years the
(13:49):
Catholic Church does something big. And they had literally hundreds
of thousands of kids from around the world that were
supposed to go to a Mass with Pope Francis obviously
changed to something more historical. They're going to the funeral
po Prancis.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Yeah, but everything you just mentioned is a nightmare for security.
All of those total they're going to have to just
all those people, all the faithful you were just talking about,
I would imagine they're all going to be cleared out.
Speaker 9 (14:19):
Well, yeah, I mean to get inside the Basilica for
the actual funeral is something totally different. People can probably
stay outside and watch it on video screens, but it's
just gonna be I wouldn't want I'm faithful, I wouldn't
want to be anywhere near this pon. It literally is
(14:40):
just you know, packed with human beings.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
No, that's what it is. And is it like that
right now? I mean, what can You're in a position
right now where you can see what's going on there.
Speaker 9 (14:53):
Yeah, I'm in Saint Peter Square, so you know, if
people are getner familiar with you have the obelisk, that
big kind of oval area, and then to the Basilica.
Normally it would be packed inside. Again, it's lines of
people coming in. Probably ten to fifteen people wide is
the line that goes into the Basilica, and god knows
(15:15):
how many thousands and thousands long waiting to get in.
So it's just it's an really interesting time obviously to
be here.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yeah, it's amazing that you were there for this is
Newsmac's going to use you. Are you going to do
hits for them during the funeral?
Speaker 9 (15:31):
Well, yeah, I'm doing my TV show from here in
Rome on Saturday, my radio show for w R here
on Saturday. And you know, he died on a day
that worked out for my schedule. Larry I was in
Madrid ready to come.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (15:51):
They said, hey, Coder Romanstead for the week and cover
it for us. He said, okay, well.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
We were fortunate that you're there, and we'll talk to
you again tomorrow. Rob Astorino, host of The Rob Astorino
Show on WOR Saturdays from four to five, host of
you Know what He's going to be covering on Saturday,
host of Saturday Agenda from one to three on Newsmax,
and of course, former Westchester County executive. Now, let's go
to Jackline Carl with the six thirty News, Jacklin, Good morning.
Speaker 10 (16:17):
Smoke from the New Jersey wildfire is now forcing an
air quality alert for New York City. Fire Crews continue
to make progress on the Jones Road wildfire and Ocean County,
which has destroyed over thirteen thousand acres since Tuesday morning
and is now about approximately fifty percent contained. Over five
thousand people were forced to evacuate because of the fire
(16:38):
and Harvey Weinstein's rape trial is under way in Manhattan,
with the prosecutor portraying the former movie producer as a
gatekeeper who wielded tremendous power in Hollywood.
Speaker 11 (16:48):
In her opening statement, prosecutor Shannon Lacy said Weinstein wanted
his victims' bodies, and the more they resisted, the more
forceful he got. Weinstein's lawyer, Arthur Idollick, counter that while
the movie mogul's behavior was possibly immoral, it was not illegal,
and said the casting couch is not a crime scene.
Weinstein is being retried after the State of Pills Court
(17:11):
last year overturned to his twenty twenty conviction because of error.
His retrial involves three alleged victims, a production assistant, an
aspiring actress, and a new accuser, Sarah Lee Kessler wr News.
Speaker 10 (17:25):
So you know who thinks social media is bad for
young people? Young people? According to CNN, a new Pew
Research Center survey reveals that nearly half of US teens
believe social media negatively affects their peers' mental health. In fact,
forty four percent of teens surveyed think that social media
is mostly harmful to people their own age. Teen cited
(17:47):
issues like cyberbullying, unrealistic beauty standards, and the pressure to
appear perfect online as major concerns.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
So what have your kids said about this? What are
your kids think?
Speaker 10 (17:58):
I know that they're not teens now, right or Larry,
you might have a teen yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Well eighteen now, but he doesn't talk too much about
social media. I know he's on social media a lot,
but he hasn't had the problem. Although I've have nieces
and nephews who had real problems with bullying. It's something
that has to be It's something that really has to
be dealt with because it's a real serious problem.
Speaker 10 (18:22):
Natalie, what do you think? What if your kids said
about social media and how it affects them.
Speaker 12 (18:26):
You know, it's interesting because I have a boy and
a girl, and I think they look at it differently.
I think it definitely affected my daughter a lot more.
I was going to say, I bet it affects girls
more definitely, and I was happy to see. At some
point she kind of pulled back from it. She doesn't post.
She does, you know, she's on it a lot though,
but you have to be I know, have to.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Be on it.
Speaker 12 (18:50):
It's their connection to the world unfortunately. But yeah, I
would say if I spoke to her really candidly about it,
she would tell me that it's not.
Speaker 11 (19:00):
A good place.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
My niece, who has four girls, had the greatest, the
greatest rule, he said, anytime they went to a party,
anytime they went to the mall, people had to put
away their phones because when you post that you're there
and having a good time, you're hurting somebody else's feelings.
Someone else has left out. So no phones, no pictures,
no social media the entire time you're there. I think
(19:22):
that's healthy.
Speaker 10 (19:22):
There's got to be some kind of class that some
expert can give, like and put on YouTube because that's
a great idea what you just said, Larry. And there's
got to be more stuff because you're not going to
keep them off it.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
No, and the bullying on it is awful. I give
that's a it's a great story and you're right we
should talk more about it. Thanks so much. Jacque Line
Carl with the six thirty News. In the meantime, borders
are Tom home and man is he mad? He's getting
fed up with the media and used an arrest in
New York to make his point that working with ice
(19:57):
makes cities safer. I'm home and is up next, and also,
don't forget you can leave us a talkback all morning long.
Go to seven to ten WOR on the iHeartRadio app
and click the microphone and when you're there, put seven
to ten WOR on your presets. Can we just talk
for a moment about how insane the City Council is
(20:19):
in New York, the fact that they're suing Mayor Adams
for trying to make New York safer. Everything that Democratic
politicians have done in New York State and in New
York City has made this city unsafe, has led to
the death of people, has led to people being assaulted.
(20:42):
Everything they've done, every single thing, the sanctuary city policy,
bail reform, not being able to go to rikers to
pick up people who are here illegally and commit crimes,
all of that, all of these policies, it's a long list.
I just named a couple. It's a long list of
policies all to help criminals. There's no other way to
(21:03):
say it. That's absolutely true, that's not hyperbole. All to
help criminals. They want to make New York City safer
for criminals, not for the rest of us, but for criminals.
And it's amazing what can happen when the federal government,
(21:24):
who's seen as the devil the criminals aren't. The criminals
are aggrieved. The criminals need sympathy. They'll just get better
if we let them be free. It's the bad people
at the federal government. They're the ice Oh man, They're
(21:46):
horrible people. And yet they continue to take serious threats
off our street. They're actually saving lives. And I bring
all this up because use ice is way more effective
when the cities work with them. That type of partnership
(22:11):
of the city, of the state, of the federal government
working together. It is playing out in Republican states right now.
That's why the crime rate in some of these cities
that was high is is almost nil now, especially when
it comes to serious crimes. But we had an example
of that this week in New York City, a wonderful
(22:34):
example of this when the state and the NYPD and
the federal government all came together and made a major bust.
Speaker 13 (22:45):
You're here today, so house A sleeping in dieted to
be the Southern District of New York and charging twenty
seven alleged tree Aravo gang members with charges ranking from raggetteering,
sex trafficking, narcotics, robbery, karjacking, and firearms related defences.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
And they saved women that were actually being held for
human trafficking. Who can be against that and yet there
are It makes it's insane, It makes no sense. And
Tom Homan, by the way, was there at that news conference.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Well, we sign a strong message trendago, We're going to
keep doing this. So every TDA member MSA team members
were moved from the.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Country, right. And the human trafficking is you know, trying
to find these kids that it just went missing where
their parents wanted a better life for them, so handed
them over to the cartels, hoping that bring them to America.
Well they did, and they're being human trafficked. And by
the way, they found that immense when they read made
these are twenty seven arrest they found an immense human
(23:52):
trafficking organization.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
The underlying offenses were sex trafficking, gun trafficking, drug trafficking,
murder for hire. We seize a lot of weapons, and
we rescue some victims of.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Sex trafficking, right, dozens dozens of young women that were
being held by trend de arragua and use for sex trafficking.
So now, please make the argument about letting them out
back on the streets. Make that argument, because that's what
happens every day in New York because the Democrats want
(24:27):
it that way. I don't get it. Now, make the
argument about having a sanctuary city so that you can't
work with ICE to make these arrests. What is the
logical argument to that? Please make it for me, because
there is none yep. Call in if you have an
argument against this one eight hundred three two one zero
(24:49):
seven ten. I'd love to hear it. But there are
arguments against it, and in New York City they're winning
because they're in the majority. It makes no sense whatsoever.
The City Council is suing Mayor Adams because he's working
with us and allowing them to pick up criminals at
(25:11):
Rikers Island. They want that stopped. That's how insane this
world is.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Right now, what's specifically important to me about New York's
Mayor Adams, who's getting beat up by the left were
cooperating with us. Look what transpired. Look at the Look
at the lies we say in New York City. Right
at the same time, you got the City Council follow
a lawsuit to shut down our memorandum of understanding, the
executive work he's signed to get us some Rikers Island.
We proved yesture what collaboration can do for the safety
(25:39):
and security of New York.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Absolutely, absolutely they. Mayor Adams right now is a hero
for working with Tom Home and making the streets safer.
Have you noticed the crime rate? Have you noticed that
not every day Now we're talking about some horrible murder.
The city is safer because Mayor Adams is working with
(26:03):
Tom Holman and with Ice, and people want to stop that.
People think that's a horrible thing, including the corrupt City
Council President Adrian Adams, who is leading the lawsuit. And
of course all of those people think Kelmar of Brago Garcia,
(26:24):
he should be brought back home because he's an upstanding
citizen who, by the way, is not a citizen, he's
an upstanding citizen of Al Salvador.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
We removed an MS th eighteen gang member public safety threat.
Wife Peter designated terrorists from the United States. He's home,
He's a citizen Al Salvador, a native El Salvador, who
had due process, despite what you're hearing, been order removed
(26:53):
by two separate immigration judges, ordered to be removed by
two separate immigration judges.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
That never comes up in the in the media, that
they never talk about that, and the media has just
been horrendous.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
I find it incredible that there's all this push for
more and more and more due process, more process for
these dosign ety terrorsts, but in fact, no one asked
for due process when they crossed the border. No one
asked for betting when they crossed the border. Where was
all the media? Where were allowed of you all, folks
when ten point five million people came to border and
(27:29):
you're silent? Where were a lot of these folks when
you had six hundred percent increase in sex trafficking women
and showld there? Where was everybody who had a quarter
million Americans dying from fatanahl that come to that open border.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Where where where's all the anger?
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Then?
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Where was all the press? Then that's a great point.
The press was basically silent. They believed the Biden administration
when they said the border was secure, even though you
could just take a camera down there and see that
millions were coming over. The media was an embarrassment. The
Democrats are an It's why the approval numbers for both
(28:02):
are so low right now, and they're going to continue
continue to be low if they don't get their act
together in the meantime. Another thing that they went against
with the tariffs war, which by the way, we're winning now.
Have an update on that when we come right back.
You do have to feel sorry for the Democratic Party
every once in a while because everything they think is
(28:24):
an issue. Every time they think they have an issue,
it just blows up in their faces. The guy down
at El Salvador, of course, that's Brigo Garcia. That's blown
up in their face. They seemingly have stopped to talk
about that. Nobody's even talking about it anymore. We don't
even know. I don't even know what happened to the
four Democratic congressmen that went down to Wel Salvador and
said they weren't going to leave unless they got them
(28:46):
out of there. I think they're still there. It's just
not an issue anymore. And the tariffs now, if you've noticed,
the Democratic Party is now pulling back on the tariffs
because the way it is trending right now, the way
it's looking, we're gonna have new tariffs more beneficial to
(29:07):
the United States than at any time well in probably
one hundred years, and it's going to happen quicker than
we thought it was gonna happen. Donald Trump obviously did
this early because he thought it would take months, and
he was willing to take the hit to bring back
the economy to where it should be because right now
(29:29):
we were spiraling towards in a death row. It was
the economy was going to crash. We couldn't sustain having
a federal deficit the way we had and then also
having a trade deficit. It just wasn't gonna work. So
he had to reset the entire economy. And when he
came out and talked about the tariffs, as you'll remember,
(29:52):
and I say it every single day about the tariffs,
and I said it right when he talked about it, wait,
just wait, And of course they did. In the stock market.
The stock market's been up the last couple of days,
but the stock market crashed and everybody was the media
was really upset, and the Democrats were saying, oh my goodness,
he's going to ruin everything. It's chaos like we told
(30:14):
you it was going to be. And look at us. Now.
Speaker 14 (30:18):
What's happened is we've how many countries have we spoken
to already ninety and they all want to make deals,
and we're going to make deals, but they're going to
be fair deals.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Let me give you an example of a deal, one
that's already been sketched out, and one that looks like
it's going to happen. It is with India. Kevin Hassett
is the head of the Institute of Politics and Public Service.
He's also the director of the National Economic Council in
the Trump administration, and he said, what's happening with India,
(30:53):
which really nobody's been talking about, is stunning.
Speaker 15 (30:58):
But we're very optimistic about Chia, and especially optimistic about
just about everybody else.
Speaker 13 (31:03):
You know.
Speaker 15 (31:04):
We announced that we've got basically an outline of a
deal with India. And that's especially interesting because if you
think about the countries we talked about non tariff barriers
and tariffs that are hiring American workers. If you think
about the countries that have really been about the worst
offenders over time, India's right near the top of the list, so.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
To get a deal with India where we were way
out of whack with the tariffs with India, we were
at about ten percent on some of their products. They
were near one hundred percent. And they've come and said
they want a deal and one has been sketched out,
and they said it's probably going to be announced because
all the details are there right now. It just has
(31:42):
to be written out and signed that that is going
to happen within the week. And there are eighteen other
proposals that are ready to be examined and we have
to say whether we want it or not, or whether
we want to negotiate more. And when this all happens
across the board, China's going to be the toughest. You're
(32:04):
absolutely right, that's what you're thinking. China's going to be
the toughest, although there's talks going on with China as
well too. When this all happens, it's going to save
this country an immense amount of money.
Speaker 14 (32:16):
It's going to make a lot of money for our people.
We'll be able to lower taxes substantially, and we're going
to be proud of ourselves.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
They're not going to be a laughing stock.
Speaker 14 (32:25):
Got taken advantage of by virtually every country in the.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
World, by the way, the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen spoke
in front of the World Bank yesterday and chastise them
for the way they've handled the economy and how unfair
they've been, and how they've taken advantage of the United
States America.
Speaker 16 (32:46):
Firth does not mean America alone. To the contrary, it
is a call for deeper collaboration and mutual respect among trade.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Partners, something that hasn't happened in the past. He's saying
right now is if you treat us fairly, we're going
to treat you fairly, and we're all gonna make money.
But what is going to stop happening in the world
right now is that you take us for suckers and
that the tariffs are unfair and not even on both sides.
(33:18):
That's going to end, and thank god, it's going to
end for generations. We're going to remember what happened in
this last few months. In the meantime, the Vice President
of Norway was at the White House talking about what
else what we've been talking about tariffs. White House correspondent
John Decker has more on that meeting, and that's coming
(33:39):
