Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And good morning to you. Thanks for choosing to listen
to us this morning. You just heard Ray talk about
the rain for today. There might be some light rain
for your ride in. You definitely want to bring an umbrella,
but the heaviest rain should be a little bit later
this morning, so you should be able to get through
this commute this morning. In the Big Three, an explosive

(00:23):
hearing on Capitol Hill with senators, including Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal,
trying but failing, failing, miserably trying to slime Attorney General
Pam Bondi.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Senator Blumenthal irick, I cannot believe that you would accuse
me of impropriety when you lied about your military service.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
I am.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
A lunched a US story.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
You lie, dare you?

Speaker 2 (00:55):
I am a career prosecutor. Don't ever challenge my integrity.
I have abided by every ethics standard.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
I have never seen somebody dominate one of those hearings
like Pam Bondi did yesterday. And also in that hearing,
Senator Josh Hawley calls for hearings. He calls for an
investigation and prosecution of those in the Biden Justice Department
who targeted Catholics school parents and US senators.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
We've got nothing but concerns today, but no concern at
all for a Justice Department that is tapping the phones
of sitting United States senators because who knows why they
don't like them. They're members of the opposition party, they're Republicans,
their conservatives.

Speaker 5 (01:47):
I'm sorry about that.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
I don't know what happened that at audio played fine
just a moment ago, but you got the gist of that.
He said, how dare you say that the Trump administration
is weaponizing the Justice Department after the Biden administration went
after citizens, went after US senators, and of course went

(02:10):
after Donald Trump at the direction of Joe Biden. That's
what we've found out tonight is the New Jersey gooberatorial
debate in a race between Republican Jack Chittarelli and Democrat
Mikey Sheryl that the polls show is a dead heat.

Speaker 6 (02:27):
Both of these candidates really need to cater to that
median voter, those voters who are in the middle, independence, nonpartisan,
swing voters, whatever you want to call them. That's the
key really for either one of them to get over
the finish line.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
I'll tell you what Democratic mayoral candidate Zorin Mom Donnie
is facing backlash after releasing a statement condemning Israel and
its war on Hamas and Gaza. This statement released on
the anniversary of the October seventh terrorist attack, but nothing

(03:00):
seems to stop Teflon Zoran.

Speaker 5 (03:02):
I don't know if.

Speaker 7 (03:03):
Anything will affect as something me in Mam Donnie's campaign.
I think this is just one of many examples of
anti Jewish positions that are cloaked under de veil of
anti Zionism or anti nan Yahoo.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
And with that, let's get to Jeffrey Lichtman, high profile
criminal defense attorney, host of Beyond the Legal Limit podcast
found in the iHeartRadio app And Jeffrey, I definitely want
to talk about what is going on with the peace
talks with Hamas, but before I do that, I want
to get a comment from you about Zorin Mam Donni
releasing this statement condemning Israel and what's happening in Gaza

(03:41):
on October seventh. And there doesn't seem to me, at
least to me, to be the outrage there should.

Speaker 5 (03:48):
Be for this. What are your feelings today?

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Well, the reason he's doing it is obvious because he
knows that he'll get him more votes. I mean, he
could have kept his mouth shut is to try to
protect him if he felt that it would cost them votes.
But he knows that New York City is far left,
is very antisemitic, so he knows that the more jew
hate that he spoos, the more votes he's going to get.
So that's why there's no outrage for that very reason

(04:13):
is that people support that kind of language. That's what
New York City has become. And that's what's going to
be so delightful is that all of these people that
hate Jews so much that they're allowing this moss piece
of garbage, this leftist, communist pile of crap. They deserve him,
Let him destroy New York City, and all these Jew

(04:34):
haters that thought it was a great idea, they're going
to go down the toilet with them.

Speaker 5 (04:37):
It's great.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
The thing I don't understand, Jeffrey, and I hope you're
wrong about that, by the way, But the thing I
don't understand, Jeffrey, is how half of the voters out
there who are Jewish you're going to vote for him.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
It's because their religion is not Judaism, it's leftism and
let's be honest. I mean they don't Judy in Israel
means nothing to them. All they care about is there
leftist ideals. I think probably very further along in terms
of problems with that is that look at what he's
running against. I mean, Cuomo is a horrible human being,

(05:16):
just absolutely the worst. Eric Adams is a criminal who
belongs in a cage. Kurtis Sliwa, nice guy, utterly useless,
can't win an election, and refuses to drop out. So
there's no chance that anybody, I suppose these liberals would
would find any of the other choices palatable. They can't.

(05:38):
But it really doesn't make a difference. It's no excuse.
I mean, your position is correct. The guy is a
Hamas supporter. He's openly supported Hamas, He's written a rap
song praising Hamas. You'd think that would be enough for
the Jews, but it's not just the Jews that are
doing it. Everybody in New York City. They deserve it.
It's going to be wonderful to watch New York City

(05:59):
burned to a ground. The ground they've got Hamas supporters
are marching in the streets completely unmolested by Eric Adams NYPD.
They're waving Hamas flags. Nobody seems to care. This is
what New York City is a couple of decades after
nine to eleven. The place needs to burn to the
ground that it will.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
I know you have said on this air time and
time again you would like to see Israel go into
Gaza and just finish the job with Hamas. Now Hamas
has come to the peace talks and they're negotiating a
peace settlement. What do you think is going to happen?
And how do you feel about possibly Hamas stepping down

(06:39):
and leaving Gaza.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
It's never gonna happen. I mean, I don't know how
any Look, nobody's this dumb to actually believe that Hamas
is going to agree with Trump's peace plans. They already happened,
They've already said that they're not going to this arm
and they agreed to a couple of the things on
Trump's list, But they somehow ignored the part that says
that if they have to disarm and leave Gaza, here's

(07:02):
the question, Larry. When they're exchanging prisoner lists right now,
some of the people on Hamas's list are the biggest
maniac terror leaders that are in Israeli jails, many of them.
Most of them are not in hamas. Why would they
be asking for these terror leaders if not to try
to improve their standing among the Palestinian public, which is

(07:25):
just as crazy and zealous as they are. They're doing
it because they want, they expect to continue to run Gaza.
They're not leaving. When Trump gave his first ultimatum last December,
if all the hostages aren't released by January twentieth, there's
going to be hell to pay. Of course, they ignored
and they laughed in his face, and they didn't release

(07:46):
any of them. Then a couple of weeks ago, he said,
if they don't agree with my plan, there's going they're
going to be paying in hell. So there's well, And
of course they laughed and ignored them.

Speaker 5 (07:57):
Again.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
They haven't agreed to other than a full of points.
So all we know is that somebody in Hell is
getting paid or or somebody is going to be paying
something in hell. Nothing happened. They know the Trump is
full of it. These are people that on October seventh,
Flowery forget that they were shooting children in the face,

(08:18):
lighting them on fire. They were raping corpses and the
and the Palestinian public that was with them, which dominated
the numbers of terrorists that were there. There were more
people from the Palestinian public than Hamas. They loved it,
they cheered it, they joined in it. They were treated
as heroes amas when they got back with the bodies

(08:39):
that alive and dead of Israelis. They are not going
to this arm So Trump can talk about how great
this is and how he's making peace. He's not making peace.
They're never going to stop it. I've got a question
the whu Thi's continued to send missiles at Israel. That's Iran,
that's one of Iran's proxies. Does that sound like they're

(09:01):
ready to look for peace? Does Iran sound like they're
looking for peace? What should have happened is Trump, he's
terrified for there ever to be a war longer than
it has to be. Should have allowed Israel to finish
off the Mullas in Iran. Then all the support for
the Houthis and Hamas ends. He should have allowed Israel
to finish off Hesbel and Lebanon. Whoops. He stopped that

(09:21):
as well because he doesn't want the full blown war.
Same thing with Hamas and Gaza. Trump just refuses to
finish this off, and he's expecting the next administration that'll
be their problem. Anybody saying knows that there is never
going to be peace. Hamas is telling you they're not
leaving the strip. So how do you get them to

(09:42):
leave the strip? You have to let Israel go in
finish them off. When a white flag is raised, that's
when it ends. You will never have peace if you
keep kicking the can down the road. Hamas is telling
you we're not leaving and we're not disarming. How much
more do you have to hear Larry before you realize
that if there is a so called seasire, now it's

(10:03):
just a countdown until the next war.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Well, Jeffrey, as usual, I pray you're wrong and I
fear you're right. Jeffrey Lickman is the high profile criminal
defense attorney. He's with us every Wednesday at this time. Well,
there are a dinosaurs for sale in New Jersey. Dinosaurs
for sale in New Jersey. We'll tell you how you
can buy one coming up, plus tickets to see the

(10:26):
New York City Wine and Food Festival at a twenty
five stay with us. By the way, have you listen
to the talkbags over the last couple of days of
all the people that are raving about their Menting in
the Morning t shirt, talking about how coveted it is,
how they're the life of every party when they were
a Menting in the Morning t shirt. That's what you
could win today. If you are talk back of the morning.

(10:48):
You just go to the iHeartRadio app. You look for
seven to ten WLR and you hit the talk back
button and then we put you on the air. Why
are non Zionist Jewish New Yawkers voughting for Mundahmi, voughting
against their own interests.

Speaker 5 (11:06):
That's the question of the election.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
That's the one I don't understand why anybody's voting from
UNDONEI to tell you the truth, because he's a snake
oil salesman. He keeps saying he's going to be able
to do all these things. He's not going to be
able to do them. That's the biggest thing. But then
he's also anti Semitic. There's no question. The fact that
he put out that statement yesterday on October seventh, condemning

(11:29):
Israel and condemning our country for backing Israel shows what
an anti Semite he is, and of all times, he
can't even gather himself to talk about the October seventh
attack and how horrendous it was. No, no, I've I'm mystified,
just like you are.

Speaker 8 (11:48):
I don't know if I'm in the minority here. I
definitely don't think furloughed government workers should be getting any
kind of doctake. Actually infuriates me when any worker who's
laid off and the federal government gets back pay when
they weren't working. I've been furloughed a couple times in
my life. I never any kind of back pay. You're
an essential worker and you're working through the shutdown, you're

(12:10):
absolutely huddle to back pay. You're just sitting home, you're
not working, you're not doing anything.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Why now, here's the best reason for not getting back pay?
Because if the workers weren't going to get paid at all,
the politicians would be that much more reluctant to shut
down the government. I don't think they should have to
suffer because the government shut down. But I'll tell you what,

(12:35):
if they weren't giving them the back pay, and by
the way Congress deals with that, they handle that, So
of course they're going to do that. Because they don't
want to take the blame for that, but it might
stop them from doing this every once in a while.

Speaker 9 (12:49):
Yesterday when you were closing, you were saying Trump should
win the Peace Prize. If that happens, it'd be like
the stock market crash, people be jumping out of windows.
Obama won the Peace Prize for just showing up and
doing nothing at all the wars that Trump has stopped,
and ever since he's been in office, he's been trying
to stop violence.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Yeah, I said he should win the Peace Prize. He's
not going to. I saw some of the odds on it.
The odd maker. Odds makers always have odds on everything,
and the odds are from four percent to twenty three
percent regardless of even if you take the highest odds
on all this. It's just it's not going to happen.

(13:29):
They'll never give it to him because you know why.
They don't like his position on climate change, which has
nothing to do with bringing peace to the world. He's
stopping wars like no other leader has the attempt to
stop horrible wars in Ukraine and in Gaza. Let's talk
about buying a dinosaur, because there's thirty one huge dinosaurs.

(13:55):
I mean, we're talking almost life sized dinosaurs that move.
They're automaton that are for sale. And I've never been
to this place, and maybe that's the problem. Maybe that's
why they're selling all this stuff. But I would love
to go up to the Field Station Dinosaurs, which is
in Leona, New Jersey.

Speaker 5 (14:15):
Leonia. Do you have you ever been there? You live
up there?

Speaker 10 (14:19):
There was never there, and I've been looking to see
when they opened because I thought maybe it was like
past my kid's time for dinosaurs. But I mean, why
wouldn't have I brought my son there?

Speaker 5 (14:29):
He would have loved that.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
I think this is why they're closing. Everyone's like us saying, man,
I would have loved to have gone there. Now they're
hearing about it and they want to go and they
have to close up. But I'll tell you what. They're
selling these dinosaurs, and they're getting lots of calls for them.

Speaker 11 (14:44):
We've got in hundreds of calls, including some from institutions, zoos,
museums who want to keep the collection together, and just.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
People people, what are you going to do with it?
People with a lot of money, they want to put
them in their backyard for their kids. Rich people are
trying to buy that as well. By the way, the
nice thing is, even though they're closing up the park,
they're not going out of business. That was Guy Sell
who was the owner of the Field Station Dinosaurs.

Speaker 11 (15:13):
And we're ready now to take all of our programming,
our music, all the things that people love about the
Field Station. We're going to take them and create programs
for schools and museums and libraries.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Yeah, that's that's nice. What they love the most of
those big dinosaurs. That's why I want to see it
before it closes. It's closing in January. So if you
want to get out there, look them up. It's field Station.
It's up in Leoni and the New Jersey and it's Field
Station Dinosaurs. If you'd like to go there. Now, let's
get the news at seven thirty with Jacklin, Carl Jacklin.

Speaker 8 (15:45):
Hey, Larry, that's good.

Speaker 12 (15:48):
The Texas National Guard Chicago, in a post on ex
Texas Governor Greg Abbott, confirmed that the service members quote
are on the ground and ready to go. Illinois Governor JB.
Pritsker continues to slam President Trump over what he calls
his quote, unconstitutional invasion of the city. Meanwhile, New York
City has filed an amicus brief to support Oregon's ongoing

(16:09):
case against the federal government's deployment of National Guard in Portland.

Speaker 13 (16:12):
It comes days after a US district court in Oregon
ruled that the National Guard deployment in response to protests
of immigration enforcement operations likely violated federal law because the
protests were not very disruptive. New York City joined a
coalition of seventy four localities which warns against the Trump
administration's plans to deploy the National Guard anywhere anytime, arguing

(16:35):
the federal government has overreached its authority. The group says
it harms local sovereignty, peace and tranquility, and local economies.

A Las Vegas hotel is offering five thousand dollars for
someone to investigate paranormal activity. According to the New York Post,
Las Vegas l Cortes Hotel and Casino is looking for
a ghost hime to spend a weekend investigating paranormal activity

(17:06):
forty one, is the longest running hotel casino in Las
Vegas and has decades of reported hauntings. The competition is
open to people twenty one and older in the US,
with applications closing on October thirty, first of all things, Halloween.
So how much does this sound like a scheme to
drum a business? But then what isn't it could be fun?
Would you do this?

Speaker 9 (17:27):
No?

Speaker 1 (17:28):
I you know, I can't even stand. Do you watch
the ghost Hunter shows? I can't because they like, did
you hear that? Did you see that?

Speaker 12 (17:34):
I'm like, no, yeah, it's like five thousand dollars. Five
thousand dollars if you could.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Come up with something and they're they're always like amazed.

Speaker 5 (17:41):
You're like, what are you amazed by? Did you feel that?

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Did you feel the No, I'm sitting here at home,
show me a ghost. I've watched ghost Hunter shows by accident,
many times.

Speaker 5 (17:54):
Accident.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Never seen a ghost that? Yeah, exactly, that's exactly it.
Never seen a ghost.

Speaker 12 (18:00):
For the l Cortes Hotel and Casino. And you could
win five thousand dollars if you can do things like that.
Did you see that?

Speaker 5 (18:08):
Did you feel that? Did you hear that?

Speaker 1 (18:09):
Did you smell that?

Speaker 10 (18:10):
There are people who really believe that they have you know,
had a ghost in their presence.

Speaker 12 (18:17):
I am open the listeners have stories. I'm open to that.
But that show he's talking about and this thing is
just a load. I don't think Larry believes it at all.

Speaker 5 (18:27):
No, I see I hate the whole idea of this stuff.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Until I see one, until you show me one.

Speaker 5 (18:35):
I don't believe.

Speaker 12 (18:36):
I'm getting you a Wiji board for Christmas.

Speaker 5 (18:39):
That's fake too. Somebody's always moving on.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Oh.

Speaker 5 (18:42):
I know that I felt that thing move when I
was twelve.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
I know it was real. It may be the biggest scandal,
thanks Jacqueline. It may be the biggest scandal since Watergate,
and there are calls now for an investigation and prosecution.
All the details on these blockbuster revolutions just ahead. WR

now at iHeartRadio dot com slash teachers. I have a
new hero, Josh Hawley, the Senator from Missouri. At the
Senate hearing yesterday, he just took over and shocked the room.

Speaker 5 (19:49):
We should all be shocked.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
We should all be stunned at what has been uncovered
that happened during the Biden administration. We've all been picturing
him as doddering old fool. Well, he was the mastermind
of rampant investigation into Republicans warrantless in some of the

(20:12):
cases against US senators that were sitting on the panel
with Josh Howy yesterday as they were questioning Pam Bondy.
It is astonishing. This is worse than Watergate. This is
worse than the Enemy's List with Jay Edgar Hoover. Somebody

(20:35):
has to go to jail for this. And all of
the memos have been released by the Trump Justice Department
in the last couple of days, and all of them
show who was targeted by the weaponization of the Justice
Department under Joe Biden. They keep saying, the Democrats keep saying,
look what Trump's doing. Look what Trump's doing.

Speaker 5 (20:56):
He did.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
The pales in comparison. Everything Trump's doing is legal. This
pales in comparison to what happened under Joe Biden. As
a matter of fact, every scandal in our history pales
in comparison to what he was doing. And so I'm
gonna play some of the Josh Hollie comments because they

(21:17):
are they were amazing. He started his questioning by saying,
it's amazing that everybody wants to go after Pam Bondy,
and we are the Judicial Committee, and nobody's talking about
what we found out over the last couple of days.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
We've got nothing but concerns today, but no concern at
all for a Justice Department that is tapping the phones
of sitting United States senators because who knows why they
don't like him. They're members of the opposition party, they're Republicans,
their conservatives.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
President Biden wanted to go after everybody, including US citizens,
if they didn't follow his marching orders, if they didn't
believe in what he believed, and he wanted them prosecuted,
not just Donald Trump, but Republican senators, Catholics, parents going

(22:15):
to school, board meetings. It was pervasive, It was throughout
the Justice Department.

Speaker 4 (22:21):
You talk about an enemy's list, I mean, this would
make Richard Nixon blush. I mean, this is unbelievable what
Joe Biden did. He targeted the former President of the
United States, Donald Trump when he was a private citizen.
He targeted eight Republican senators. He targeted almost one hundred
conservative organizations. He targeted parents who go to meetings.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
With wiretaps, with surveillance, with cars sitting outside of school
board meetings, with cars FBI cars sitting outside of Catholic churches.

Speaker 4 (22:50):
Mister Biden can fight it to his inner servle. He
believed former President Trump was a threat to democracy and
should be prosecuted. It goes on to say that Garland
that the Biden rather was frustrated with Garland and wanted
him to take decisive action against Trump. Here's what we're
talking about. Trump, of course, was a private citizen at
the time. So he appoints his own hitman, Jack Smith,

(23:15):
who goes after the president, former president, who goes after
members of this body.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Right, Merrick Garland, you got to give him some credit.
He said, no, I can't do this, and it was Biden.
Biden that insisted that this happen, and that's why he
had to get Jack Smith to do it. And Jack
Smith's over in the Hague right now. We got to
get him back into this country. He's got to be arrested.

Speaker 4 (23:38):
And this happened, the targeting of Catholics in this country
because Joe Biden and his FBI didn't like Catholics who
went to a certain kind of mass. I mean, good
God in Heaven, what is happening to this country?

Speaker 1 (23:53):
As I said in the beginning, there have been some
scandals in the last one hundred years in this country,
political scandals.

Speaker 5 (24:01):
There were enemies lists that Nixon had, There were enemies lists.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
That Jay Edgar Hoover had. This went further. It wasn't
just an enemy list. They took action.

Speaker 4 (24:12):
What we now know happened in the last four years
under this administration surpasses all of that. It surpasses all
of it, not just for the interference in the legislative branch,
not just for the blatant disregard for the separation of powers,
not just for the blatant disregard for the First Amendment,
but for the targeting of ordinary American citizens who can't
afford lawyers, who can't afford to mount a defense, who

(24:33):
when the FBI knocks at their door or comes with
the swat team, they don't know what to do. It
is absolutely a disgrace. It is a stain on the
history of this country.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
It is it's all of that. And where's the media.
By the way, why isn't this in the front of
the New York Times? Because they cover for every wrongdoing
by the Democrats. But this is too important to ignore.
If you normalize is this, If you let a president
of the United States and the American Justice Department, the

(25:06):
United States Justice Department, do this, you're setting a dangerous,
dangerous president.

Speaker 4 (25:12):
The use of the most powerful law enforcement bodies in
the world against ordinary citizens and political opponents must end
once and for all. And we have a chance to
do it. And it needs to be done with a
thorough investigation, full transparency, and those who violated laws need
to be prosecuted.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
Absolutely absolutely, and they're going to start hearings. By the way,
the Republicans are all over this, and this is more
important than politics. By the way, we have to stop
our government from being like Russia, for being like Iran
or Iraq. That's what happened under the past administration. No, no, no,

(25:51):
a doddering old fool. He wasn't He was corrupt and
he was evil when he went after American citizens and
he should be put in jail. If the government shut
down right now continues, there are real concerns about layoffs
and essential workers, including air traffic controllers. We're going to
talk with Wor National corresponded Roy O'Neil about that next.

Speaker 5 (26:12):
Well, we got Rory O'Neil coming up.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
But before we get to them, let's get to a
talk back because we were just talking about how fake
these ghost shows are and if you believe in ghosts
and going on a ghost tour, and we got to
talk back about that.

Speaker 14 (26:28):
I've been on a ghost tour in cal Galveston, Texas,
and we actually tie the record for the most ghost
scene on a tour, not only there but anywhere in
the world with zero.

Speaker 5 (26:45):
That was great. Man set that up perfect. That was
like out of a comedy act.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Now, let's get the Rory O'Neill Woor National correspondent.

Speaker 5 (26:55):
He's with us every day at this time. Have you
ever seen a ghost, Rory?

Speaker 15 (26:59):
I have not, No, And yeah, my ghost tours have
also tied that same record.

Speaker 5 (27:07):
Have you actually been on a ghost tour?

Speaker 3 (27:09):
I'm trying to think.

Speaker 15 (27:10):
I was on one in New Orleans, and I think
one in Savannah as well, but it was mostly for
the drink in hand.

Speaker 5 (27:17):
Rather than I saw Hey, look, I saw spirits.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
All right, Well, let's talk about something serious. Now, let's
talk about the government shutdown. Everybody says that after the
first week of a government shutdown, it doesn't affect all
that many things, but when it continues, it does, doesn't.

Speaker 15 (27:41):
It rory, Well, it does, and we're starting to see
things creep in now, especially as President Trump had spoken
of maybe not everyone gets paid. He said he follow
the law, but there was a memo from the White
House circulating around saying it's not automatic that the federal
workers furloughed get their pay. But look, members of Congress

(28:02):
are pretty clear that they will make sure everyone is
made whole when this is done. But we're seeing some
issues pop up with the air traffic controllers and the
TSA screeners perhaps calling in sick, issues at the Burbank
Airport Control Tower, issues in Chicago O'Hare in particular as well.
So this is sort of bubbling up, and we are
seeing some senators, a bipartisan groups say hey, wait a minute,

(28:25):
can we find some way to perhaps make sure that
the active duty military gets paid next week.

Speaker 5 (28:31):
So though we're.

Speaker 15 (28:32):
Starting to see those kinds of discussions emerge, keeping in mind,
the House isn't even in Washington, those four hundred and
thirty five members.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Right well, they're not there because we've heard Speaker Johnson
say over and over again, we did our job, we
passed the continuing resolution. That's done. We have to wait
now for the Senate to do their job. And they
can fly back within a day's notice. So this was
a scheduled time off anyway. So they're saying, don't worry
about us, This isn't our problem, and this is the

(29:00):
Senate's problem.

Speaker 15 (29:02):
The issue, though, is if anything is amended, would have
to go back to the House, so it even does
shut out amendments, and it forces Democrats to agree to
what's before them.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
Right well, and what's before them is just a resolution
to continue negotiations, and there's going to be that kind
of time anyway that you could still negotiate without shutting
down the government. I believe this the whole shutdown is political,
but it's a shame that it affects every day Americans.
And here's my feeling, and you tell me what you

(29:32):
think about this. October fifteenth is when they stop paying
the military. At that point I got a feel, and
this gets settled before then.

Speaker 15 (29:40):
Well that's what this little discussion group is. That's been
interesting to track some of this bipartisan group of senators
trying to find a way out, because look there, you
know these military members or air traffic controllers.

Speaker 5 (29:52):
These are their constituents.

Speaker 15 (29:53):
Right, and they don't want to go home and pace
some of the wrath if there are soldiers who are
not getting paid or more a shutdowns at air traffic
control towers. Remember I know five hundred and thirty five
frequent flyers and they're mull members of the House and Senate,
and they want to make sure air travel is safe.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Yeah, I get that. You know, it's really interesting in
a shutdown, there's a blame game. Who's to blame? You
blame the Republicans, blame the Democrats. It's really interesting that
New York Times poll that came out. They blame everybody.
They blame the Democrats, they blame the Republicans. They blame
everybody for this, and so you know, I know they're
looking at the polls. So hopefully when they see that,

(30:32):
they'll realize there's nothing to gain from this, nothing to
gain politically, and that they get.

Speaker 5 (30:37):
Back to work.

Speaker 15 (30:39):
Yeah, especially a year from now when we're voting, right,
who's going to think back to the government shutdown from
a year before and say, well, that was really you know,
that was Chuck Schumer's fault, or that was Mike Johnson's fault.
Like a year from now, you think that's going to
be the factor versus what my healthcare cost? Is, my rent,
my utilities, my insurance, my healthcare. You know, I don't
think this shutdown makes a bit of difference outside.

Speaker 5 (31:00):
Yeah, that's a great point.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Rory O'Neil, wl R National corresponding, we'll be back tomorrow
morning at this very same time.

Speaker 5 (31:07):
Thanks a lot, Rory, Thanks Larry.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Is there any stopping at this point the socialist Zorin
Mamdani from becoming mayor? He keeps doing things that would
eliminate most candidates, like yesterday when he came out with
this pro ganza statement on October seventh. Maybe political analyst

(31:30):
jac Polanco has an idea. We'll talk with him right
after the eight o'clock news, like.

Speaker 5 (31:35):
This crash on Sevney and Medminster finally cleared away. But
you are going to be slow. Bold directions heading into
twoity seven
