Speaker 1 (00:00):
And good morning to you the Big Three. Well in Texas,
as the waters of the Guadalupe River subside, the death
toll just continues to rise. It is just heartbreaking what
is happening in that area of the country, and it
gets worse every single day. One hundred and eleven are
(00:20):
now confirmed dead and the totals of the missing that
just keeps continuing rising.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Just in the Kerr County area alone, there are one
hundred and sixty one people who are known to be missing,
and again that comes from combined law enforcement. For one
hundred and sixty one known people who are missing.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
That's just in Kirk County. There are one hundred and
seventy six total missing. And we have Jim Ryan live
from Texas coming up at nine oh five. Well, we
were also hit with some horrible weather. There was tornado
warnings all over the place. Luckily none of them landed,
but there were some funnel clouds seen. We also had
(01:08):
fast moving storms, some of them severe thunderstorms, causing down trees,
power outages, and flooded streets across the area. This came
in so quickly, the.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Rain was coming sideways and it looked like a white out,
as if it was snowing, you know it just you
couldn't see the lake at all.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Donald Trump says that if zorin mom Donnie gets elected mayor,
the Feds may have to take over. He also cursed
when talking about the fact that, as he calls him,
a communist may be taking over New York. We'll talk
with high profiled and very outspoken defense attorney Jeffrey Lickman
coming up in about an hour, and after a well
(01:52):
organized ambush on ICE officers comes comes calls for ICE
officers to be more vigilant when they're out on the road,
but mostly calls for Democrats to turn down the rhetoric
because the.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Rhetoric continues against ICE agents and borbite real agents about
being compared to terrorists like Tiresman J. Paul did, being
compared to Nazis and racist that it's going to end
whether you're supports that either a criminal is going to
die or an officer is going to die. I've seen
this recipe before. I knew it's coming, and I don't
think it's over.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
But it continued even today with idiots like Congresswoman Jaopaul
and Congressman Eric Swalwell. Here's some good news. The New
York Knicks have a new coach and he's a good one.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
This is the Knicks.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
I talked about Madison Square Garden being iconic. I talked
about our fans. I love and embrace the expectations that
come along with it.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Mike Brown he's a good one. He's been named NBA
Coach of the Year twice and he led three teams
to the fires. The Knicks really do they have a
good one this time. And the best news of the day.
You don't have to take off your shoes at the
airport anymore at the security check.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
Oh.
Speaker 7 (03:10):
I think it's extraordinarily convenient.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
I used to hate taking off my shoes.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
A lot of times.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
They don't wear socks, so I get caught sock lists.
So yeah, it's definitely a convenient.
Speaker 8 (03:20):
Thing for us.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
And with that, let's get to Jeffrey Lickman, high prive
profile criminal defense attorney, and he is the host of
the Beyond the Limit podcast found on the iHeartRadio app. Jeffrey,
let's talk about the mayoral race for a second, because
there's a lot of people out there giving advice, and
most people seem to think that they're the people running
(03:44):
against Zoram Mamdani, two or three of them have to
coalesce and unify to take him on. Somebody has to
drop out of the race. Who what would you like
to see if you could pick one of them to
run again? Store in Mam Donnie, who has the best chance.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Well, Larry, first of all, thanks for having me, and
I think what has to happen. And I'm not a
Cuomo fan, but what Cuomo said it makes the most sense.
There has to be polling done sometime in September among
what I believe, not just Adams Mushmouth mayor in the hood,
mayor in the club excuse me and Cuomo, but also
(04:26):
with Curtis Sliwa. All three of them have to have
polling done. They should agree upon one polster and whoever
is ahead in a purported head to head against Mom Donnie,
the other two have to drop out because there's a
very high probability right now Mam Donni is leading all
(04:46):
of them in a poll if it's head to head,
if it's I, it's the three of them against him,
and I would include Jim Walden this even though he's
got one percentage point. No one knows who he is
and he's an obnoxious, humble bragger. He should all be
subject to this and drop out because the states are
too high. Larry, And when I think about how much
I hate politicians, this is exhibit A. They're so selfish,
(05:10):
they're so narcissistic. All they really care about is power.
They try to tell you how much they care about
the people, and they care about the city and they just
want to do the right thing. Yet all of them,
and I'm talking including Curtis who's running as a Republican,
who's the only one who really has a meritorious reason
to run because he won his primary and he is
(05:33):
the Republican candidate. The other one, the other two are
just the Democrats who couldn't beat Mamdani, which is why
they're even able to run at all. There should be
there should be a polling dun whoever remains of the
of the three of them should run against mom Donni
Loan because the stakes are so high. If we lose
this to Mamdani, and we will, if all of the
(05:55):
rest of them do run, then we're going to be
having our city run by a far left, insane socialist
who's so insane that he doesn't even try to hide
what he is. I mean, this guy is an open maniac,
a lunatic. He's a guy who's praising Hamas in New
York City. Did you ever think, Larry, twenty four years
(06:16):
after nine to eleven that we would be electing a
guy as mayor who supports the very ideology that took
the two towers down in New York City and killed
nearly three thousand people. It is so revolting, so appalling,
so stomach churningly disgusting, because that's where we are, and
we've got guys like Eric Adams and Cuomo and Sliwa
(06:37):
too saying no, no, you have to drop out. I
wouldn't dare. They want power so bad they can taste
it so badly that they're willing to sell our city
down the river. It's absolutely disgusting and a pox on
all of them.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, very well said. I've never put that together before
about the towers, but that was extremely well said. I've
courts Leewa said something the other day that I was
really impressed by. And he was talking not only to
the other candidates but also to Donald Trump, and he said,
stop attacking this guy for the wrong reasons. State of
(07:13):
policy his policies are horrible. His policies are going to
hurt the city. We need to state to that because
you're making him a martyr and you're getting him more votes,
and especially Donald Trump, because the number one issue for
the Democrats is just being against Trump. If Trump keeps
speaking out, I think it makes Zurhi Mamdani more powerful.
What do you think?
Speaker 6 (07:35):
You know? I suppose that's true. But the things that
Trump are attacking him on are are the policies. And look,
I'm not a Trump accolyte where I follow everything that
he says, but he's one hundred percent right here. But
it shouldn't have to be the fact that we're even
in a position where we're concerned that an open socialist
(07:55):
in America and New York City Jew hating socialists, a
guy who who is literally going to run the city
into the ground. He's telling us that he's going to
do it. The fact that he's so close to becoming
mayor tells us if it doesn't happen in November, Larry, Oh,
it's coming. It's coming sooner or later. This is what
the liberals have done to America. They are creeping, getting larger,
(08:19):
and eventually they're going to turn us into Europe if
we're not Europe already. Because if you look at New
York City, you've got Hamas running around. Nobody seems to care.
Eric Adams, I mean, respectfully, has the effing balls, the
balls to suggest that he's done so much for the
city and he's the one that turned this worse than
(08:40):
Deblasio has turned it into a toilet ball. His approval
rating is at eighteen percent. He's even polling behind Sleeva.
The balls of him to suggest that he should be
standing in the race. This guy should be in a
jail cell. And you can ask Donald Trump why he
didn't allow it, because he would be in a jail
cell and he wouldn't be running. Now, taking him out,
(09:02):
taking Adams out is not the solution, because you've still
got the other two dunderheads. One of them has to
drop out. All three of them have to coll etse
and say, listen, we love this city too much to
care about our own personal greed. They're filthy greed and
the fact that we're gonna have to pay them off.
You know that they're not dropping out until they make
(09:24):
generational money. You know, that's all this is about. Larry.
They want money. Do you know how many more friggin'
airrings does Eric Adams have to have in his ears?
He's only got two ears.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I'm worried about your health at this point, we have
to I'm gonna have this up. Jeffrey Lickman, high profile
criminal defense attorney, host of Beyond the Legal Limit podcast
found on the iHeartRadio app. Thank you very much, Jeffrey.
That was great, appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
By the way, you can leave us a talk bag anytime.
Just go to the iHeartRadio app and you look for
the seven to ten wo area that talkback feature, and
you can leave us a talkback. Try to top that.
Try to top that right.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
If you do, I promise you you'll win that T shirt.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Well he's got I'm just afraid one of these days
he's gonna get into one of those rants and all
of a sudden, you're gonna you know, I'm worried about
his health.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
You're worried about his health. I have my hand on
the dump button.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Have you heard on of a thing called bathroom camping?
We'll tell you what that means. Next. Our iHeartRadio Music
Festival is back. September nineteenth and twentieth in Las Vegas,

You gotta get them now. It's gonna sell out. How
you have been great today with the talkbacks, keep them coming.
Go to seven ten wor on the iHeartRadio app and
then we'll put you on the air.
Speaker 9 (10:56):
I don't know why we're acting like this has got
all this violent. It has got nothing to do with
the Democrats. It is one hundred. Therefore, the same reason
Trump's life was threatened was because of the Democrats, and
they're not stopping.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, when you call somebody a Nazi, when you call
them a threat to democracy, of course, of course, the
sick minded, the easily influenced, they're going to rise up
like those people in Texas that attack those ice officers.
They use the exact same words that the Democrats use
(11:34):
about Donald Trump. And they didn't back off. Even today.
Eric s Walwell, the idiot, was saying, no, we got
to double down on this.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
How long before we have to label the Democratic Party
a terrorist organization.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Well, the far left of the Democratic Party is pretty
close to that.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
I mean, it's one thing for the loony left to
hate Trump. I mean, tens is a real thing. But
how does thing is it for them to come out?
The bodies haven't even been found y in Texas and
somehow this is all Trump's fault.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I don't get it. That has been discounted and disproven
over and over and over. And you know who the
maddest people are. The people are the most upset, the people.
You think they would sit silent if they were really upset,
if they thought there was too many cutbacks at their organization.
The National Weather Service, the National Weather Service is infuriated
(12:32):
by this. Those meteorologists are proud. They all came in.
They had quadruple their workforce that they would normally have.
They were putting out alerts constantly and warning people. How
dare you you insult them? Because you're insult isn't to
Donald Trump or to the Republican Party. It's to the
men and women out there doing their job warning people.
(12:56):
You are absolutely right about that, and it infuriates me
to no end because they're using in the middle. By
the way, this was the same night, in the middle
of a tragedy. To turn this into politics and attack
politics is despicable. It's the lowest of the low for
(13:16):
the Democratic Party. I'm not saying there's not a time
to investigate this and find out what went wrong, but
I guarantee you it had nothing to do with Doge cuts,
because that's already been disproven, because that had to be
dealt with early on. There was a problem, I will
tell you this with the state legislators in Texas. They
(13:37):
had a chance to put the sirens in and they
turned it down. That's going to happen now, and it's
going to happen very quickly. And some people have some
answering to do in Texas, but not in the Trump administration.
They've been great about this. And by the way, Donald
Trump is going to go there on Friday, and unlike
other presidents, he has said I'm waiting till Friday because
(14:00):
I didn't want to be a distraction. They had important
work to do, and so Friday he's going to be
there for much of the day. All right, let's talk
about this. And I've done this. I think that a
lot of people won't admit to it, but I think
every single person has done this. It's called bathroom camping.
(14:20):
Now that's the new term and social media. But everybody's
done that. Have there ever been a time when you
were at work, or you were home, or you just
wanted to get away from everybody for a second, and
you went and you sat on the toilet because it
was the only place in the whole house or the
whole business where you could be alone and by yourself. Heck, yeah, yep,
(14:42):
everybody's done a crash. You've done it, right, Yeah, yep,
you were much of the show. You're in there. How
about Hey, Jacqueline, Hey, y'all, you're staying out of this conversation.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Oh, I just feel like that. The last time I
can remember doing that was in high school to smoke.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Oh you smoked in high school?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Of course I did. Jacqueline do Wow, I'm not. I'm
just owning it. She surprises us every day.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
She's very she's very honest. Yes, she's very honest about that. Well,
apparently it's become a new social media trend to talk about,
and even people have shared when they're in the toilet
and they're doing bedroom camping. But what I didn't know
about this is that it is really therapeutic. There's sometimes
(15:35):
when you need to get away and there's no place
to go to be alone, and that's the only place,
especially at work, Yes, exactly, especially at work. Some people
say it helped them with PTSD. I mean it gets
really deep. You think it's it's kind of something everybody
does and it's a shared experience. But no, it really
helps heal people. Or it allows people to smoke.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Probably the lovely aromatherapy that does the healing.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
Too.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Now I understand why you smoked. They get rid of
the of romotherapy. Now let's go to Jacqueline Carl with
the seven thirty News.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Jacque Hey, Larry, good morning. It's another day of deskper
searching as more than one hundred and sixty people are
still missing following catastrophic flooding in Central Texas. Around one
hundred and ten people were killed when rainfall inundated the
area days ago, including dozens at a girls summer camp
that was washed away along the Guadalupe River. Governor Greg
(16:32):
Abbott says he's promised that crews will not stop until
every missing person is accounted for, and there's fourner lawsuits
that allege rampant corruption with the NYPD under Mayor Eric
Adams at the highest levels.
Speaker 10 (16:45):
Former NYPD Chief of Detectives Jamesessegg's lawsuit claims former police
Commissioner Edward Caban sold promotions rupped to fifteen thousand dollars
and that Sseg was forced out when he spoke up
about promotion practices. Lawsuits by former NYPD chiefs and assistant
chiefs claimed there was falsified time cards and body camera
(17:06):
rules were not followed. A spokesperson from Mayor Adams's office
sas the administration for viewing the lawsuits, while lawyers for
Caban say there's no merit to the allegations.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I'm scatted prinkle wr.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
News so I love stories like this. Here is how
a man was saved by his faithful pet chihuahua. According
to AOL, he was walking on Switzerland's Fee Glacier and
crashed twenty six feet into a hidden ice crack, trapping
him deep inside. Did his tiny, long haired chihuahua abandon him, No,
(17:40):
he stayed put at the hole's rim, barking and shivering.
A rescue helicopter from Air Zermatt searched the wide white field,
but they just couldn't find the opening until one rescuer
spotted the little dog on a rock. Guided by the pet,
the team lowered ropes and hauled the man out of
the eight meter crevasse and flew both hiker and dog
(18:01):
to a hospital. Now that guy should hire a chef
to cook that dog's meal for the rest of his heroic,
little furry life.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
What do you think I love stories like nay too.
There's so many of them, and it always is a dog.
Speaker 11 (18:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I've heard a lot, and I know a lot. I
just don't have time to tell you all of them.
But this was a good one.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, absolutely, Thanks so much, Jacqueline Carl. Usually when the
midyear report on police fatalities comes out, it's always nothing
but bad news. But not this year. How about that.
We'll get the details from Bill Alexander, CEO of the
National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. I am so happy
that we are getting to partner with Seacrane Radio because
(18:43):
I have two in my house and I'm buying them
as gifts at Christmas because I think everybody should have
one and I want to make sure I can keep
my family safe I know you think you have enough protection.
You gotta smoke alarm in, you have flashlights, you have
backup power. But one of the things that people say
(19:04):
over and over again, and this was after the fires
in Los Angeles and the hurricane that hit North Carolina,
having a radio was one of the most important things
to have to have a reliable radio. Now I have
two at my home. I have the Wi Fi three,
the Sea Crane WiFi three that gets Wi Fi, it
gets Bluetooth. It has amazing quality. You can listen to
(19:28):
places around the world and get important information. But what
if the power goes out. Then you have the Sea
Crane Radio Solar, which also has Bluetooth, but it has
a flashlight build into it and it can charge your radio.
You need these when the worst happens. Call Seacrane at
(19:48):
eight hundred five two two eight eight six three. That's
one eight hundred five two two eight eight sixty three.
You can also visit them online and see their products
at seacrane that c C R A n E dot com. Well,
every year about this time, the midyear law enforcement officers
(20:10):
fatality report comes out and it's always just dismal news.
It is heartbreaking news. It's produced by the National Law
Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. But this year, this year they
put out a report and there was actually some good
news in it. So we want to get right to
Bill Alexander, who is CEO of the National Law Enforcement
(20:32):
Officers Memorial Fund. Bill, it's an honor to talk to you,
and God bless you for what you do. And good
morning to you.
Speaker 8 (20:41):
Larry, good morning to you, and thank you, you know,
thank you for being willing and able to help tell
the story. Too few in the media want to talk
about law law enforcement offsters dying in the line of duty,
and you are one of those strong supporters. And so
every man and woman in a uniform, I promise you
is appreciative of you helping to tell the story.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Well, thank you for saying that. So let's get right
to the report. What's it say?
Speaker 8 (21:03):
So we put out the report which shows the number
of line of duty deaths across the first six months
of twenty twenty five, and the reality is it is
a dramatic reduction compared to the same time last year.
Last year, in this time we had eighty nine men
and women in uniform dyeing the line of duty, and
this year we are reporting forty two such deaths, So
it's never great news to report on even a single
(21:26):
police stops a dying, But certainly this is a very
very welcome trend.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Are there factors that play into this? Is there a
reason for this?
Speaker 8 (21:35):
You know, I don't have a definitive reason, at least
not when I can back up with strong evidence. But
I have three high level thoughts that I think are
contributing here. One, we ourselves have an officer safety and
wellness pillar where we try to impart use the data.
You and I aren't talking about the data that we
stretches back for us since the inception of our country.
So from two hundred and fifty years worth of this
(21:56):
data which does give us trends and patterns and show
us to start ccumstances which are leading to tragic and
fatal outcomes, and we try to use that data to
come up with programs and best practices to make it
safer for the men and women out on our streets.
And we're not alone in network. There are a constellation
of law enforcement organizations all across the country doing the
same kind of work. How can we make this job
(22:17):
safer for the men and women in uniform, and I
hope to some degree the numbers that we're talking about
today are reflective of that long and continuing body of work.
I also think the sort of tone in rhetoric, the
language around and the word I would use maybe demonization
of law enforcement members and the profession that they have
dedicated their lives to over the last say five years,
(22:39):
has really been unfair and targeted law enforcement in ways
that I think were completely unreasonable. And I think that
tone in rhetoric was shaping and influencing public behavior. I
think over the last six to eight months that tone
in rhetoric has changed. We are not a political organization,
so I don't want you to take this as political,
but I just don't think there's any question that I
(23:00):
could certainly make a compelling argument that there has been
a change over the last six eight months in terms
of respectability, in terms of law and order, in terms
of preventing crime and restoring order into communities. And I
think to some degree that is also influencing public behavior
back in the other direction. That it's to some small degree,
not universally, but some folks are now recognizing they need
(23:22):
to listen to law enforcement and comply with commands and
hopefully resulting in fewer uses of forced by police officers
and certainly fewer officer deaths. All that and the final note.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I keep jumping in. When you
take a pause, I apologize. Keep going.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
Well.
Speaker 8 (23:37):
My final thought is, you know, sort of in the
same vein for many years there was this sort of
ongoing conversation about defunding and marginalizing police agencies. I don't
really hear that kind of talk anymore. And I think
the fact that in part the tone and rhetoric about
law enforcement bolstering law enforcement, and also cities, town states
(23:58):
moving away from the defund idea has re engaged law
enforcement across the country. And I think overall, violent crime
is down across most of the country. And the reality
is that if police officers are responding to fewer violent crimes,
fewer domestic violence calls, fewer shootings, robberies, carjackings, than they
themselves are also in less danger. So some combination of
those three things I think are in the soup of
(24:20):
potential reasons as to why the numbers are down so dramatically.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
And that's all great news, and I can understand each
one of those factors. That's incredible. I didn't even think
about it. But in the news we have been reporting
less police officers being attacked and not more, and I
didn't put it together until you put out your report. However,
now and it's a shame that you had to say.
I don't want to make this political. This shouldn't be
(24:43):
a political issue. Ever should be a political issue. I
agree the safety of police, but right now it is
a bit of a political issue because of ice officers
being attacked and there was an ambush in Texas where
a police officer was shot and some ice officers were
shot at and they said that the ice officers. There
(25:04):
has been an increase an attacks on ICE offers by
six hundred and seventy percent since last year. I would
think that you would agree without bringing politics into it,
and this should not be political, that an attack on
any police officer and the type of rhetoric that leads
(25:25):
to those attacks has to be diminished.
Speaker 8 (25:29):
I could not agree more. I absolutely agree. I think
the last five years has been completely unfair to law enforcement,
and certainly what's going on with ice officers who are
doing their best to enforce the law and comply, you know,
with their directives. It's just it's beyond the paal the
idea that you attack those individual officers, right.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
And also like a police officer. Just like a police officer,
the ICE officers are doing their duty. They're doing what
they're trained to do. They're doing what they're told to do.
You made a great point when you said that there
should be no politics there. If you want to blame somebody,
blame the politicians. If you want to blame somebody, blame
(26:08):
the people that are at the top or at charge
of this. The officers are just doing their job and
they're the ones that take the brunt of this.
Speaker 8 (26:17):
Yes, unfortunately they do, and they are trying to do
their job, and they're trying to do it honorably and
importantly safely, safely, not just for them, but safely for
members of the public that they're trying to interact with.
And you know, these skirmishes and purposeful attacks are really
making it dangerous, not just for members of ICE, but
even members of the public.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Well, I hope that people heard you, and I hope
they can tamp down some of the rhetoric, because you're right,
it is all political, and politics can hurt people and
end up with officers being attacked just real quickly. I
think it's really important to talk about your organization and
how people can contribute.
Speaker 8 (26:52):
We are the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. I
think we're most notably known for the memorial itself, which
is in the heart of Washington, DC and Judiciary Square.
It was created and even through to today, maintained to
honor every single law enforcement member who dies in the
line of duty. We add all of their names to
what we view as very sacred walls. Today there are
(27:12):
twenty four thousand, four hundred and twelve such names on
those sacred walls, and as you know, Larry, every single
year historically we add hundreds of names to those very
secular walls. So that has been the cornerstone of our
organization and continues to be. But we also have a
world class museum right across the street which tells the
story of American law enforcement. And again we have an
(27:32):
officer Safety and Wellness pillar where we try to create
programs to make it safer for everybody on both sides
of the law enforcement equation. So to any degree, if
any part of that mission resonates with your audience. We
have never received so much as a penny from the federal, state,
or local government. We are funded entirely by generous folks
across the country who feel some calling, some responsibility to
(27:53):
help us remember these heroes. And if that resonates with
your audience, I hope they would consider us in their
charitable giving and.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
They give money.
Speaker 8 (28:01):
They can go to nl EOMS dot org. That's nl
EOMF dot org or stands Ward National Law Enforcement Officers
Memorial Fund.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Thank you so much, Bill Alexander, CEO of the National
Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. Again, God bless you for
what you do.
Speaker 8 (28:16):
Bill, Thank you, Barry Well.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Thank you for being here. Finally, some good medical news
about something many of us love to consume. Coffee. Doctor
Gregory Poland will explained next. And are you looking for
a new car, Because the most stressful part of looking
for a new car is always getting a car loan.
I just went through this. Here's the solution. Call Credit Solutions,
(28:40):
a division of Hudson Hundai in Jersey City. You need
to call them if you're thinking about buying a new car,
because they can get you funding fast. Eight hundred four
five five seven seven one nine. Tier one customers can
drive a brand new Hyundai with just ninety eight dollars
down plus Quality five buyers can get zero percent financing
(29:03):
for up to sixty months. Call eight hundred four five
five seven seven nine. Do you have a trade in?
They'll give you up to three thousand dollars and will
pay off your loan no matter what you owe. That's
pretty amazing deal. Again, the number to call eight hundred
four five five seven seven one nine in the Big
(29:25):
Three in Texas, as the waters subside, the death toll
continues to rise. We're gonna be talking about that in
the next segment, but first let's get to doctor Gregory
Poll and leader in vaccines and infectious diseases at the
Mayo Clinic and president of the atrea Research Institute in
New York. I know you have a couple of things
(29:45):
you want to talk to, but the one that jumped
out to me that I that I really want to
hear about because I am so tired of things I
eat being told as bad for me. So finally you
have something that you say, there's some benefits from coffee.
Tell me how great coffee is. Sorry, we got great news.
Speaker 11 (30:07):
Hilary for you, and particularly for women. Actually, a very
large study involving just under fifty thousand nurses observed for
thirty years, have found that coffee, certain kinds of coffee,
substantially increase your risk are the benefits of healthy aging. Now,
(30:33):
this is not true of instant coffee. Instant coffee actually
was found to increase the risk of something called age
related macular degeneration, something that affects the vision of about
eighteen million Americans. But if you want to decrease your
risk of a major chronic disease or physical mental limitations,
(30:54):
liver problems and diabetes, then no more than four to
five I've eight ounce cups of brood filtered black caffeinated coffee.
It turns out that you decrease the benefit by adding
sugar or cream, and so it's an interesting thing you
(31:17):
look at for each cup of coffee, up to four
to five of them. Each cup of coffee is linked
to about a two percent higher chance of healthy aging.
So doing this, as most people do around the world
have their morning cups of coffee, turns out to be
of good benefit.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Yeah, I don't put sugar in my coffee, but I
do put cream, and so I guess I'm okay, right,
Oh good too. I feel good about my choices.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
Now.
Speaker 11 (31:49):
The other thing it's interesting, Larry, is you think about
other forms of caffeine. Caffeinated cola. Cola drinks a twenty
percent lower chance of healthy aging. So it's not just
the caffeine, it's all of the other substances that are
brewed in from the coffee being a lot of phytalls,
(32:13):
a lot of antioxidant chemicals, for example. So black coffee
in the morning turns out to be a good thing.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
I'll try that. I wish you would have stopped at
coffee because I also drink diet soda, but we can
talk about that another time. I do want to get
quickly to the vaccine policy in the US that was announced.
Speaker 11 (32:34):
Yeah, you know, there's a lot of unrest and uncertainty
around what's happening with vaccines in the US. I don't
agree with it, but I will say that the new
policy is that routine COVID immunization will be recommended for
people aged sixty five and older and for those who
(32:55):
are younger with risk factors. What that means is that
people who don't have risk factors for severe disease or
otherwise healthy children will now be excluded from getting a
COVID vaccine or booster.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
And you disagree with the second part.
Speaker 11 (33:14):
I disagree with that. I think that's very problematic.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Well, I'm sure there's going to be studies on this
and we can talk again, and I do hope you're wrong,
but I do have a fear you're right, doctor Gregory
Pollend of course you would be, do I know, doctor
Gregory Poll, leader in vaccines and infectious diseases at the
Mayo Clinic and president of the A Tree Research Institute
in New York. Thanks a lot, doctor, A big increase
(33:40):
in ice raids is coming to New York, and New
York City council Member Vicki Palladino explains why that's going
to happen. That's after the eight o'clock news
And good morning to you the Big Three. Well in Texas,
as the waters of the Guadalupe River subside, the death
toll just continues to rise. It is just heartbreaking what
is happening in that area of the country, and it
gets worse every single day. One hundred and eleven are
(00:20):
now confirmed dead and the totals of the missing that
just keeps continuing rising.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Just in the Kerr County area alone, there are one
hundred and sixty one people who are known to be missing,
and again that comes from combined law enforcement. For one
hundred and sixty one known people who are missing.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
That's just in Kirk County. There are one hundred and
seventy six total missing. And we have Jim Ryan live
from Texas coming up at nine oh five. Well, we
were also hit with some horrible weather. There was tornado
warnings all over the place. Luckily none of them landed,
but there were some funnel clouds seen. We also had
(01:08):
fast moving storms, some of them severe thunderstorms, causing down trees,
power outages, and flooded streets across the area. This came
in so quickly, the.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Rain was coming sideways and it looked like a white out,
as if it was snowing, you know it just you
couldn't see the lake at all.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Donald Trump says that if zorin mom Donnie gets elected mayor,
the Feds may have to take over. He also cursed
when talking about the fact that, as he calls him,
a communist may be taking over New York. We'll talk
with high profiled and very outspoken defense attorney Jeffrey Lickman
coming up in about an hour, and after a well
(01:52):
organized ambush on ICE officers comes comes calls for ICE
officers to be more vigilant when they're out on the road,
but mostly calls for Democrats to turn down the rhetoric
because the.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Rhetoric continues against ICE agents and borbite real agents about
being compared to terrorists like Tiresman J. Paul did, being
compared to Nazis and racist that it's going to end
whether you're supports that either a criminal is going to
die or an officer is going to die. I've seen
this recipe before. I knew it's coming, and I don't
think it's over.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
But it continued even today with idiots like Congresswoman Jaopaul
and Congressman Eric Swalwell. Here's some good news. The New
York Knicks have a new coach and he's a good one.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
This is the Knicks.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
I talked about Madison Square Garden being iconic. I talked
about our fans. I love and embrace the expectations that
come along with it.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Mike Brown he's a good one. He's been named NBA
Coach of the Year twice and he led three teams
to the fires. The Knicks really do they have a
good one this time. And the best news of the day.
You don't have to take off your shoes at the
airport anymore at the security check.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
Oh.
Speaker 7 (03:10):
I think it's extraordinarily convenient.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
I used to hate taking off my shoes.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
A lot of times.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
They don't wear socks, so I get caught sock lists.
So yeah, it's definitely a convenient.
Speaker 8 (03:20):
Thing for us.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
And with that, let's get to Jeffrey Lickman, high prive
profile criminal defense attorney, and he is the host of
the Beyond the Limit podcast found on the iHeartRadio app. Jeffrey,
let's talk about the mayoral race for a second, because
there's a lot of people out there giving advice, and
most people seem to think that they're the people running
(03:44):
against Zoram Mamdani, two or three of them have to
coalesce and unify to take him on. Somebody has to
drop out of the race. Who what would you like
to see if you could pick one of them to
run again? Store in Mam Donnie, who has the best chance.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Well, Larry, first of all, thanks for having me, and
I think what has to happen. And I'm not a
Cuomo fan, but what Cuomo said it makes the most sense.
There has to be polling done sometime in September among
what I believe, not just Adams Mushmouth mayor in the hood,
mayor in the club excuse me and Cuomo, but also
(04:26):
with Curtis Sliwa. All three of them have to have
polling done. They should agree upon one polster and whoever
is ahead in a purported head to head against Mom Donnie,
the other two have to drop out because there's a
very high probability right now Mam Donni is leading all
(04:46):
of them in a poll if it's head to head,
if it's I, it's the three of them against him,
and I would include Jim Walden this even though he's
got one percentage point. No one knows who he is
and he's an obnoxious, humble bragger. He should all be
subject to this and drop out because the states are
too high. Larry, And when I think about how much
I hate politicians, this is exhibit A. They're so selfish,
(05:10):
they're so narcissistic. All they really care about is power.
They try to tell you how much they care about
the people, and they care about the city and they just
want to do the right thing. Yet all of them,
and I'm talking including Curtis who's running as a Republican,
who's the only one who really has a meritorious reason
to run because he won his primary and he is
(05:33):
the Republican candidate. The other one, the other two are
just the Democrats who couldn't beat Mamdani, which is why
they're even able to run at all. There should be
there should be a polling dun whoever remains of the
of the three of them should run against mom Donni
Loan because the stakes are so high. If we lose
this to Mamdani, and we will, if all of the
(05:55):
rest of them do run, then we're going to be
having our city run by a far left, insane socialist
who's so insane that he doesn't even try to hide
what he is. I mean, this guy is an open maniac,
a lunatic. He's a guy who's praising Hamas in New
York City. Did you ever think, Larry, twenty four years
(06:16):
after nine to eleven that we would be electing a
guy as mayor who supports the very ideology that took
the two towers down in New York City and killed
nearly three thousand people. It is so revolting, so appalling,
so stomach churningly disgusting, because that's where we are, and
we've got guys like Eric Adams and Cuomo and Sliwa
(06:37):
too saying no, no, you have to drop out. I
wouldn't dare. They want power so bad they can taste
it so badly that they're willing to sell our city
down the river. It's absolutely disgusting and a pox on
all of them.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, very well said. I've never put that together before
about the towers, but that was extremely well said. I've
courts Leewa said something the other day that I was
really impressed by. And he was talking not only to
the other candidates but also to Donald Trump, and he said,
stop attacking this guy for the wrong reasons. State of
(07:13):
policy his policies are horrible. His policies are going to
hurt the city. We need to state to that because
you're making him a martyr and you're getting him more votes,
and especially Donald Trump, because the number one issue for
the Democrats is just being against Trump. If Trump keeps
speaking out, I think it makes Zurhi Mamdani more powerful.
What do you think?
Speaker 6 (07:35):
You know? I suppose that's true. But the things that
Trump are attacking him on are are the policies. And look,
I'm not a Trump accolyte where I follow everything that
he says, but he's one hundred percent right here. But
it shouldn't have to be the fact that we're even
in a position where we're concerned that an open socialist
(07:55):
in America and New York City Jew hating socialists, a
guy who who is literally going to run the city
into the ground. He's telling us that he's going to
do it. The fact that he's so close to becoming
mayor tells us if it doesn't happen in November, Larry, Oh,
it's coming. It's coming sooner or later. This is what
the liberals have done to America. They are creeping, getting larger,
(08:19):
and eventually they're going to turn us into Europe if
we're not Europe already. Because if you look at New
York City, you've got Hamas running around. Nobody seems to care.
Eric Adams, I mean, respectfully, has the effing balls, the
balls to suggest that he's done so much for the
city and he's the one that turned this worse than
(08:40):
Deblasio has turned it into a toilet ball. His approval
rating is at eighteen percent. He's even polling behind Sleeva.
The balls of him to suggest that he should be
standing in the race. This guy should be in a
jail cell. And you can ask Donald Trump why he
didn't allow it, because he would be in a jail
cell and he wouldn't be running. Now, taking him out,
(09:02):
taking Adams out is not the solution, because you've still
got the other two dunderheads. One of them has to
drop out. All three of them have to coll etse
and say, listen, we love this city too much to
care about our own personal greed. They're filthy greed and
the fact that we're gonna have to pay them off.
You know that they're not dropping out until they make
(09:24):
generational money. You know, that's all this is about. Larry.
They want money. Do you know how many more friggin'
airrings does Eric Adams have to have in his ears?
He's only got two ears.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I'm worried about your health at this point, we have
to I'm gonna have this up. Jeffrey Lickman, high profile
criminal defense attorney, host of Beyond the Legal Limit podcast
found on the iHeartRadio app. Thank you very much, Jeffrey.
That was great, appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
By the way, you can leave us a talk bag anytime.
Just go to the iHeartRadio app and you look for
the seven to ten wo area that talkback feature, and
you can leave us a talkback. Try to top that.
Try to top that right.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
If you do, I promise you you'll win that T shirt.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Well he's got I'm just afraid one of these days
he's gonna get into one of those rants and all
of a sudden, you're gonna you know, I'm worried about
his health.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
You're worried about his health. I have my hand on
the dump button.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Have you heard on of a thing called bathroom camping?
We'll tell you what that means. Next. Our iHeartRadio Music
Festival is back. September nineteenth and twentieth in Las Vegas,
two Big Nights, one Big Stage, live performances by Brian Adams,
John Fogerty, Sammy Hagar, Ed Sheer and Maroon five and more.
(10:43):
And now's your chance to buy tickets at AXS dot com.
You gotta get them now. It's gonna sell out. How
you have been great today with the talkbacks, keep them coming.
Go to seven ten wor on the iHeartRadio app and
then we'll put you on the air.
Speaker 9 (10:56):
I don't know why we're acting like this has got
all this violent. It has got nothing to do with
the Democrats. It is one hundred. Therefore, the same reason
Trump's life was threatened was because of the Democrats, and
they're not stopping.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, when you call somebody a Nazi, when you call
them a threat to democracy, of course, of course, the
sick minded, the easily influenced, they're going to rise up
like those people in Texas that attack those ice officers.
They use the exact same words that the Democrats use
(11:34):
about Donald Trump. And they didn't back off. Even today.
Eric s Walwell, the idiot, was saying, no, we got
to double down on this.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
How long before we have to label the Democratic Party
a terrorist organization.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Well, the far left of the Democratic Party is pretty
close to that.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
I mean, it's one thing for the loony left to
hate Trump. I mean, tens is a real thing. But
how does thing is it for them to come out?
The bodies haven't even been found y in Texas and
somehow this is all Trump's fault.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I don't get it. That has been discounted and disproven
over and over and over. And you know who the
maddest people are. The people are the most upset, the people.
You think they would sit silent if they were really upset,
if they thought there was too many cutbacks at their organization.
The National Weather Service, the National Weather Service is infuriated
(12:32):
by this. Those meteorologists are proud. They all came in.
They had quadruple their workforce that they would normally have.
They were putting out alerts constantly and warning people. How
dare you you insult them? Because you're insult isn't to
Donald Trump or to the Republican Party. It's to the
men and women out there doing their job warning people.
(12:56):
You are absolutely right about that, and it infuriates me
to no end because they're using in the middle. By
the way, this was the same night, in the middle
of a tragedy. To turn this into politics and attack
politics is despicable. It's the lowest of the low for
(13:16):
the Democratic Party. I'm not saying there's not a time
to investigate this and find out what went wrong, but
I guarantee you it had nothing to do with Doge cuts,
because that's already been disproven, because that had to be
dealt with early on. There was a problem, I will
tell you this with the state legislators in Texas. They
(13:37):
had a chance to put the sirens in and they
turned it down. That's going to happen now, and it's
going to happen very quickly. And some people have some
answering to do in Texas, but not in the Trump administration.
They've been great about this. And by the way, Donald
Trump is going to go there on Friday, and unlike
other presidents, he has said I'm waiting till Friday because
(14:00):
I didn't want to be a distraction. They had important
work to do, and so Friday he's going to be
there for much of the day. All right, let's talk
about this. And I've done this. I think that a
lot of people won't admit to it, but I think
every single person has done this. It's called bathroom camping.
(14:20):
Now that's the new term and social media. But everybody's
done that. Have there ever been a time when you
were at work, or you were home, or you just
wanted to get away from everybody for a second, and
you went and you sat on the toilet because it
was the only place in the whole house or the
whole business where you could be alone and by yourself. Heck, yeah, yep,
(14:42):
everybody's done a crash. You've done it, right, Yeah, yep,
you were much of the show. You're in there. How
about Hey, Jacqueline, Hey, y'all, you're staying out of this conversation.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Oh, I just feel like that. The last time I
can remember doing that was in high school to smoke.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Oh you smoked in high school?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Of course I did. Jacqueline do Wow, I'm not. I'm
just owning it. She surprises us every day.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
She's very she's very honest. Yes, she's very honest about that. Well,
apparently it's become a new social media trend to talk about,
and even people have shared when they're in the toilet
and they're doing bedroom camping. But what I didn't know
about this is that it is really therapeutic. There's sometimes
(15:35):
when you need to get away and there's no place
to go to be alone, and that's the only place,
especially at work, Yes, exactly, especially at work. Some people
say it helped them with PTSD. I mean it gets
really deep. You think it's it's kind of something everybody
does and it's a shared experience. But no, it really
helps heal people. Or it allows people to smoke.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Probably the lovely aromatherapy that does the healing.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
Too.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Now I understand why you smoked. They get rid of
the of romotherapy. Now let's go to Jacqueline Carl with
the seven thirty News.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Jacque Hey, Larry, good morning. It's another day of deskper
searching as more than one hundred and sixty people are
still missing following catastrophic flooding in Central Texas. Around one
hundred and ten people were killed when rainfall inundated the
area days ago, including dozens at a girls summer camp
that was washed away along the Guadalupe River. Governor Greg
(16:32):
Abbott says he's promised that crews will not stop until
every missing person is accounted for, and there's fourner lawsuits
that allege rampant corruption with the NYPD under Mayor Eric
Adams at the highest levels.
Speaker 10 (16:45):
Former NYPD Chief of Detectives Jamesessegg's lawsuit claims former police
Commissioner Edward Caban sold promotions rupped to fifteen thousand dollars
and that Sseg was forced out when he spoke up
about promotion practices. Lawsuits by former NYPD chiefs and assistant
chiefs claimed there was falsified time cards and body camera
(17:06):
rules were not followed. A spokesperson from Mayor Adams's office
sas the administration for viewing the lawsuits, while lawyers for
Caban say there's no merit to the allegations.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I'm scatted prinkle wr.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
News so I love stories like this. Here is how
a man was saved by his faithful pet chihuahua. According
to AOL, he was walking on Switzerland's Fee Glacier and
crashed twenty six feet into a hidden ice crack, trapping
him deep inside. Did his tiny, long haired chihuahua abandon him, No,
(17:40):
he stayed put at the hole's rim, barking and shivering.
A rescue helicopter from Air Zermatt searched the wide white field,
but they just couldn't find the opening until one rescuer
spotted the little dog on a rock. Guided by the pet,
the team lowered ropes and hauled the man out of
the eight meter crevasse and flew both hiker and dog
(18:01):
to a hospital. Now that guy should hire a chef
to cook that dog's meal for the rest of his heroic,
little furry life.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
What do you think I love stories like nay too.
There's so many of them, and it always is a dog.
Speaker 11 (18:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I've heard a lot, and I know a lot. I
just don't have time to tell you all of them.
But this was a good one.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, absolutely, Thanks so much, Jacqueline Carl. Usually when the
midyear report on police fatalities comes out, it's always nothing
but bad news. But not this year. How about that.
We'll get the details from Bill Alexander, CEO of the
National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. I am so happy
that we are getting to partner with Seacrane Radio because
(18:43):
I have two in my house and I'm buying them
as gifts at Christmas because I think everybody should have
one and I want to make sure I can keep
my family safe I know you think you have enough protection.
You gotta smoke alarm in, you have flashlights, you have
backup power. But one of the things that people say
(19:04):
over and over again, and this was after the fires
in Los Angeles and the hurricane that hit North Carolina,
having a radio was one of the most important things
to have to have a reliable radio. Now I have
two at my home. I have the Wi Fi three,
the Sea Crane WiFi three that gets Wi Fi, it
gets Bluetooth. It has amazing quality. You can listen to
(19:28):
places around the world and get important information. But what
if the power goes out. Then you have the Sea
Crane Radio Solar, which also has Bluetooth, but it has
a flashlight build into it and it can charge your radio.
You need these when the worst happens. Call Seacrane at
(19:48):
eight hundred five two two eight eight six three. That's
one eight hundred five two two eight eight sixty three.
You can also visit them online and see their products
at seacrane that c C R A n E dot com. Well,
every year about this time, the midyear law enforcement officers
(20:10):
fatality report comes out and it's always just dismal news.
It is heartbreaking news. It's produced by the National Law
Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. But this year, this year they
put out a report and there was actually some good
news in it. So we want to get right to
Bill Alexander, who is CEO of the National Law Enforcement
(20:32):
Officers Memorial Fund. Bill, it's an honor to talk to you,
and God bless you for what you do. And good
morning to you.
Speaker 8 (20:41):
Larry, good morning to you, and thank you, you know,
thank you for being willing and able to help tell
the story. Too few in the media want to talk
about law law enforcement offsters dying in the line of duty,
and you are one of those strong supporters. And so
every man and woman in a uniform, I promise you
is appreciative of you helping to tell the story.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Well, thank you for saying that. So let's get right
to the report. What's it say?
Speaker 8 (21:03):
So we put out the report which shows the number
of line of duty deaths across the first six months
of twenty twenty five, and the reality is it is
a dramatic reduction compared to the same time last year.
Last year, in this time we had eighty nine men
and women in uniform dyeing the line of duty, and
this year we are reporting forty two such deaths, So
it's never great news to report on even a single
(21:26):
police stops a dying, But certainly this is a very
very welcome trend.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Are there factors that play into this? Is there a
reason for this?
Speaker 8 (21:35):
You know, I don't have a definitive reason, at least
not when I can back up with strong evidence. But
I have three high level thoughts that I think are
contributing here. One, we ourselves have an officer safety and
wellness pillar where we try to impart use the data.
You and I aren't talking about the data that we
stretches back for us since the inception of our country.
So from two hundred and fifty years worth of this
(21:56):
data which does give us trends and patterns and show
us to start ccumstances which are leading to tragic and
fatal outcomes, and we try to use that data to
come up with programs and best practices to make it
safer for the men and women out on our streets.
And we're not alone in network. There are a constellation
of law enforcement organizations all across the country doing the
same kind of work. How can we make this job
(22:17):
safer for the men and women in uniform, and I
hope to some degree the numbers that we're talking about
today are reflective of that long and continuing body of work.
I also think the sort of tone in rhetoric, the
language around and the word I would use maybe demonization
of law enforcement members and the profession that they have
dedicated their lives to over the last say five years,
(22:39):
has really been unfair and targeted law enforcement in ways
that I think were completely unreasonable. And I think that
tone in rhetoric was shaping and influencing public behavior. I
think over the last six to eight months that tone
in rhetoric has changed. We are not a political organization,
so I don't want you to take this as political,
but I just don't think there's any question that I
(23:00):
could certainly make a compelling argument that there has been
a change over the last six eight months in terms
of respectability, in terms of law and order, in terms
of preventing crime and restoring order into communities. And I
think to some degree that is also influencing public behavior
back in the other direction. That it's to some small degree,
not universally, but some folks are now recognizing they need
(23:22):
to listen to law enforcement and comply with commands and
hopefully resulting in fewer uses of forced by police officers
and certainly fewer officer deaths. All that and the final note.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I keep jumping in. When you
take a pause, I apologize. Keep going.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
Well.
Speaker 8 (23:37):
My final thought is, you know, sort of in the
same vein for many years there was this sort of
ongoing conversation about defunding and marginalizing police agencies. I don't
really hear that kind of talk anymore. And I think
the fact that in part the tone and rhetoric about
law enforcement bolstering law enforcement, and also cities, town states
(23:58):
moving away from the defund idea has re engaged law
enforcement across the country. And I think overall, violent crime
is down across most of the country. And the reality
is that if police officers are responding to fewer violent crimes,
fewer domestic violence calls, fewer shootings, robberies, carjackings, than they
themselves are also in less danger. So some combination of
those three things I think are in the soup of
(24:20):
potential reasons as to why the numbers are down so dramatically.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
And that's all great news, and I can understand each
one of those factors. That's incredible. I didn't even think
about it. But in the news we have been reporting
less police officers being attacked and not more, and I
didn't put it together until you put out your report. However,
now and it's a shame that you had to say.
I don't want to make this political. This shouldn't be
(24:43):
a political issue. Ever should be a political issue. I
agree the safety of police, but right now it is
a bit of a political issue because of ice officers
being attacked and there was an ambush in Texas where
a police officer was shot and some ice officers were
shot at and they said that the ice officers. There
(25:04):
has been an increase an attacks on ICE offers by
six hundred and seventy percent since last year. I would
think that you would agree without bringing politics into it,
and this should not be political, that an attack on
any police officer and the type of rhetoric that leads
(25:25):
to those attacks has to be diminished.
Speaker 8 (25:29):
I could not agree more. I absolutely agree. I think
the last five years has been completely unfair to law enforcement,
and certainly what's going on with ice officers who are
doing their best to enforce the law and comply, you know,
with their directives. It's just it's beyond the paal the
idea that you attack those individual officers, right.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
And also like a police officer. Just like a police officer,
the ICE officers are doing their duty. They're doing what
they're trained to do. They're doing what they're told to do.
You made a great point when you said that there
should be no politics there. If you want to blame somebody,
blame the politicians. If you want to blame somebody, blame
(26:08):
the people that are at the top or at charge
of this. The officers are just doing their job and
they're the ones that take the brunt of this.
Speaker 8 (26:17):
Yes, unfortunately they do, and they are trying to do
their job, and they're trying to do it honorably and
importantly safely, safely, not just for them, but safely for
members of the public that they're trying to interact with.
And you know, these skirmishes and purposeful attacks are really
making it dangerous, not just for members of ICE, but
even members of the public.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Well, I hope that people heard you, and I hope
they can tamp down some of the rhetoric, because you're right,
it is all political, and politics can hurt people and
end up with officers being attacked just real quickly. I
think it's really important to talk about your organization and
how people can contribute.
Speaker 8 (26:52):
We are the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. I
think we're most notably known for the memorial itself, which
is in the heart of Washington, DC and Judiciary Square.
It was created and even through to today, maintained to
honor every single law enforcement member who dies in the
line of duty. We add all of their names to
what we view as very sacred walls. Today there are
(27:12):
twenty four thousand, four hundred and twelve such names on
those sacred walls, and as you know, Larry, every single
year historically we add hundreds of names to those very
secular walls. So that has been the cornerstone of our
organization and continues to be. But we also have a
world class museum right across the street which tells the
story of American law enforcement. And again we have an
(27:32):
officer Safety and Wellness pillar where we try to create
programs to make it safer for everybody on both sides
of the law enforcement equation. So to any degree, if
any part of that mission resonates with your audience. We
have never received so much as a penny from the federal, state,
or local government. We are funded entirely by generous folks
across the country who feel some calling, some responsibility to
(27:53):
help us remember these heroes. And if that resonates with
your audience, I hope they would consider us in their
charitable giving and.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
They give money.
Speaker 8 (28:01):
They can go to nl EOMS dot org. That's nl
EOMF dot org or stands Ward National Law Enforcement Officers
Memorial Fund.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Thank you so much, Bill Alexander, CEO of the National
Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. Again, God bless you for
what you do.
Speaker 8 (28:16):
Bill, Thank you, Barry Well.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Thank you for being here. Finally, some good medical news
about something many of us love to consume. Coffee. Doctor
Gregory Poland will explained next. And are you looking for
a new car, Because the most stressful part of looking
for a new car is always getting a car loan.
I just went through this. Here's the solution. Call Credit Solutions,
(28:40):
a division of Hudson Hundai in Jersey City. You need
to call them if you're thinking about buying a new car,
because they can get you funding fast. Eight hundred four
five five seven seven one nine. Tier one customers can
drive a brand new Hyundai with just ninety eight dollars
down plus Quality five buyers can get zero percent financing
(29:03):
for up to sixty months. Call eight hundred four five
five seven seven nine. Do you have a trade in?
They'll give you up to three thousand dollars and will
pay off your loan no matter what you owe. That's
pretty amazing deal. Again, the number to call eight hundred
four five five seven seven one nine in the Big
(29:25):
Three in Texas, as the waters subside, the death toll
continues to rise. We're gonna be talking about that in
the next segment, but first let's get to doctor Gregory
Poll and leader in vaccines and infectious diseases at the
Mayo Clinic and president of the atrea Research Institute in
New York. I know you have a couple of things
(29:45):
you want to talk to, but the one that jumped
out to me that I that I really want to
hear about because I am so tired of things I
eat being told as bad for me. So finally you
have something that you say, there's some benefits from coffee.
Tell me how great coffee is. Sorry, we got great news.
Speaker 11 (30:07):
Hilary for you, and particularly for women. Actually, a very
large study involving just under fifty thousand nurses observed for
thirty years, have found that coffee, certain kinds of coffee,
substantially increase your risk are the benefits of healthy aging. Now,
(30:33):
this is not true of instant coffee. Instant coffee actually
was found to increase the risk of something called age
related macular degeneration, something that affects the vision of about
eighteen million Americans. But if you want to decrease your
risk of a major chronic disease or physical mental limitations,
(30:54):
liver problems and diabetes, then no more than four to
five I've eight ounce cups of brood filtered black caffeinated coffee.
It turns out that you decrease the benefit by adding
sugar or cream, and so it's an interesting thing you
(31:17):
look at for each cup of coffee, up to four
to five of them. Each cup of coffee is linked
to about a two percent higher chance of healthy aging.
So doing this, as most people do around the world
have their morning cups of coffee, turns out to be
of good benefit.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Yeah, I don't put sugar in my coffee, but I
do put cream, and so I guess I'm okay, right,
Oh good too. I feel good about my choices.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
Now.
Speaker 11 (31:49):
The other thing it's interesting, Larry, is you think about
other forms of caffeine. Caffeinated cola. Cola drinks a twenty
percent lower chance of healthy aging. So it's not just
the caffeine, it's all of the other substances that are
brewed in from the coffee being a lot of phytalls,
(32:13):
a lot of antioxidant chemicals, for example. So black coffee
in the morning turns out to be a good thing.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
I'll try that. I wish you would have stopped at
coffee because I also drink diet soda, but we can
talk about that another time. I do want to get
quickly to the vaccine policy in the US that was announced.
Speaker 11 (32:34):
Yeah, you know, there's a lot of unrest and uncertainty
around what's happening with vaccines in the US. I don't
agree with it, but I will say that the new
policy is that routine COVID immunization will be recommended for
people aged sixty five and older and for those who
(32:55):
are younger with risk factors. What that means is that
people who don't have risk factors for severe disease or
otherwise healthy children will now be excluded from getting a
COVID vaccine or booster.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
And you disagree with the second part.
Speaker 11 (33:14):
I disagree with that. I think that's very problematic.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Well, I'm sure there's going to be studies on this
and we can talk again, and I do hope you're wrong,
but I do have a fear you're right, doctor Gregory
Pollend of course you would be, do I know, doctor
Gregory Poll, leader in vaccines and infectious diseases at the
Mayo Clinic and president of the A Tree Research Institute
in New York. Thanks a lot, doctor, A big increase
(33:40):
in ice raids is coming to New York, and New
York City council Member Vicki Palladino explains why that's going
to happen. That's after the eight o'clock news
