Speaker 1 (00:00):
In the Big Three. It's a tough day, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
We've had a another mass shooting, this one of children
in a church, children from a Catholic school that were
inside a church for the first day of school. Two
children were killed, seventeen others were injured, and the murderer
put out a sick video of sick video manifesto on
(00:27):
YouTube just the night before to morrow.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I'm sorry to my family, but that's it. That's the
only people. I'm sorry to those kids.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Well.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
The murderer twenty three year old Robin Westman, who identifies
as a woman but was born Robert Westman and legally
changed his name five years ago. There has been five
shootings also in the Bronx. Think about this. Three people
were killed in the Bronx and did not get the
(01:05):
attention that this god. But there's been shootings constantly in
the Bronx, even though we're told all the time, remember
crimes down, crimes down, No, no, no, It's not the
last thing we need right now is a soft on
crime socialist as mayor. We need a crime fighter.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
I'm dealing with what is becoming the number one issue, crime,
public safety, and quality of life.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
I'm the expert in that field.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
These other three candidates have failed the public in that regard.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
How about this, What a turnaround in the nation's capital.
The Democratic mayor that first fought the federal takeover is
now admitting that federal involvement in fighting crime has worked.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
The difference between this period, this twenty day period of
this federal surge and last year represents a eighty seven
percent reduction in carjackings in Washington, DC. We know that
when carjackings go down, when use of gun goes down,
(02:07):
when homicider robbery go down, neighborhoods feel safer and are safer.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Wow, good for her, Good for Mayor Bowser. It's tough
to admit when you're wrong, but when the evidence is
right in front of you, it's wonderful when you admit
that Donald Trump was right. And New York is getting
a new Acella train today and a brand new Penn
station in a couple of years at record speed thanks
(02:35):
to Donald Trump. So what a what should that new
station be called?
Speaker 7 (02:40):
I imagine you're asking, is this going to be Trump's station?
I think that is a nice ring to it. But listen,
we're we're all working on building this project and get
into town. And if Turey and have a conversation about
name changes, that's a conversation that could happen at some
other point.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Now, let's go to John Decker, w O R. White
House in Washington, correspond and host of the new podcast
The White House Briefing Room with John Decker, which can
be found on the iHeartRadio app. John is with us
every Tuesday and Thursday at this time. Good morning, John, Listen.
I want to talk about the tariffs on on India
(03:18):
and China and what's going on with Russia. But before
I do, I just want to marvel. I was I
was really struck by the cabinet meeting the other day
three and a half hours long, and the fact that the.
Speaker 8 (03:32):
Three hours in sixteen minutes to be exact. Yes, a
very long cabinet meeting.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Okay, I was rounding up, but you were, Yeah, three
and a half hours long, three hours and sixteen minutes long,
and the media was there the entire time.
Speaker 8 (03:47):
Yeah, And I must tell you if you did not
know this already, the cabinet meeting is the meeting that
you see on Chieva on television. It doesn't continue after
the media as asked to leave the It concludes at
that point. So everything that you see in terms of
the president's meeting with his cabinet is happening right before
(04:08):
the television cameras, all three hours and sixteen minutes of it.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Has that ever happened before?
Speaker 8 (04:14):
No, No, certainly not. You know, let me just bring
you back to what things were like under President Trump's predecessor,
President Joe Biden. We would be brought in at the
very top of the cabinet meeting. President Biden would read
from a three x five card some notes, and then
(04:34):
we were led out of the room. We wouldn't hear
from any of the other cabinet secretaries. The President Biden
would not speak extemporaneously and would not take any questions,
just let out of the room. Different obviously, under President Trump,
it's a return to what I experienced covering him in
the first term. He brings the media in. You see
(04:55):
that he speaks, the cabinet speaks, and then he takes
as it relates to what happened just the other day,
forty five minutes of questions from the reporters in the
pool that day.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
As if they were a part of the cabinet meeting.
I mean he would talk to them, he would joke
with them, he would look at them when they you know,
he'd talk to somebody then to look at the media
and talk to them. It was I'm just stunned by that.
And I and it seemed like the very next day
everybody just moved on. But I was going, wait a minute,
wait a minute, that's never that's never happened before.
Speaker 8 (05:29):
Yeah, and it's certainly new. And you know, if you
happen to be in the pool on a day in
which there's a cabinet meeting, my advice to you, actually
my advice to cabinet members as well. And I interviewed
two cabinet members following the president's cabinet meeting. Immediately after,
I interviewed Doug Bergham, the Interior Secretary, in Brook Rollins,
the AG Secretary. My advice to all of them is
(05:51):
get something to eat before that cabinet because it's gonna
last a long time.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Also, the people that have to carry equipment.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
He even made a com at one point said have
you been holding that mike?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
That boom might the entire time.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
The President said that, yeah, you got a work out
to be in that room. Let's talk about these tariffs,
because it was well reported that there was going to
be a fifty percent tariff put on India because they
were getting gas and oil from Russia. Why not, China
is getting more gas and oil right nothing, There was
(06:26):
no punishment for them.
Speaker 8 (06:28):
No, the biggest purchaser of Russian oil is China. The
President's trying to reach a trade deal with China. So
I think that there's a direct connection and direct correlation
between trying to reach a trade deal and holding off
and applying these secondary tariffs on China. But if you
want to apply this pressure evenly, then you have to
(06:49):
apply it to every country, every country, not just India
that is purchasing this Russian oil. That is what sustains Russia,
that is what funds its war against Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
You know, he keeps talking about the punishment for Russia,
and everybody's assuming it's gonna be it's gonna be tariffs.
And I know that we made a deal to get
gas and oil from Europe so they wouldn't get it
from Russia.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
And we have these tariffs in India.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
But he keeps talking about how severe they're going to be,
how severe this punishment's going to be. Do we know
everything it's exactly going to be? Yet we don't.
Speaker 8 (07:22):
And the President continues making that threat of severe consequences
for Russia, but he hasn't pulled the trigger on that
just yet. And you know, I don't know what the
weight is. You may have seen overnight the biggest missile
and drone strike on the capital of Ukraine since President
Trump met with President Putin in Alaska a few weeks ago.
(07:46):
More than a dozen people killed in this strike. And
so I don't know what you wait for. You know,
it seems to me as if Putin is just going
along with the policy that he wants to carry out
and was not in any way this way from these attacks,
even after the President met with him in Anchorage, Alaska.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Oh, and that cabinet meeting, he said he's given him
two weeks again, I guess, which is his magic number
all the time.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Because it worked.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
It worked apparently to get to get the summit. He
wasn't clear on what was going to happen after that,
but he said he kept saying, you know, Putin's close.
Sometimes it's Zelensky, Putin's close, and I'm and then when
Zolensky's close Putin I have to work on. I don't
Nobody really knows what's going on behind the scenes except
(08:34):
for the people involved. But is there any impression at
all that were close.
Speaker 8 (08:39):
No, there's not. You know. I think that's one of
the great character traits of President Trump, and that is
he's an optimist. But the reality is is that we
aren't any closer. There's to me, that optimism that existed
at the beginning part of last week after the President
met with not only Presidents Elena get the White House,
(09:00):
but those European leaders, that optimism has gone away. And
that's an unfortunate thing. And I think that what will
ultimately bring Putin to the negotiating table to me with
Zelenski is when the President applies those secondary tariffs on
every country that's purchasing that Russian oil, including China, including Brazil,
(09:22):
including South Africa, in the same manner that he's applied
those secondary terriffs to India.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah, and you've raised a great point. Why wait two
weeks at this point, if that seems like it's the
only thing that's going to do it, it's that seems
to make sense. Next time you talk to the President.
You should pass that along. I will do that.
Speaker 8 (09:42):
It could be as soon as today.
Speaker 9 (09:43):
You never know, Larry.
Speaker 8 (09:44):
I will definitely pass that a lot to him.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Thanks a lot. John Decker W l Or White House Correspondent.
He'll be back with us next week on Tuesday and
Thursday at seven oh five.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Thanks so much. John.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Well, it was bound to happen in food deliveries by drone.
It's happening right now and we've got the details next.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Well.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Today is one of those days.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
After that horrendous obscene shooting, mass shooting children in a
church on the first day of school, praying in a
Catholic church, some coward opens up fire from outside. It's
one of those days when we need to gather together
and just talk about it and try to figure things out,
(10:30):
try to figure out what can't be figured out. The
number if you want to talk is you go to
the iHeartRadio app and you look for seven to ten
wo R there and then you see the talk back
feature and that's how you get in.
Speaker 10 (10:46):
I think we need to concentrate today on just praying
for those two children that lost their lives and their families,
and also that all the other kids and teachers instead
life and everything are able to recover from this and
get through this mentally because they have a long road
(11:08):
to travel.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
You're absolutely right, that was well said, Larry.
Speaker 11 (11:12):
You really want to see something disturbing, go to X
and see this guy.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I mean they have a whole video of.
Speaker 12 (11:20):
This guy for like a half an hour.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
This guy was phase cookies man.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
He had problems.
Speaker 11 (11:26):
But my thought is, now that we're saving all this
money from doze and everything else, listen, I would consider
not taking a rebate from my government put it into
mental health.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, there are some obstacles that were put up. By
the way, it's all democratic policy. There are sort of
obstacles that were put up with privacy about doing exactly
what you're talking about. That's what we have to deal
with first, get rid of the obstacles. And because we
can help people. It's not to go after people with
mental health, it's to try to help them. I'm just
(12:01):
so sick and tired of hearing about you know, like
right away the liberals jump up and gun control.
Speaker 12 (12:08):
We've got to.
Speaker 13 (12:09):
Have action, not you know, thoughts and prayers.
Speaker 9 (12:14):
But I don't care what you do.
Speaker 8 (12:16):
You could take all the.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Guns away and if people want to kill, they're gonna kill.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
They'll find one way or another.
Speaker 9 (12:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I was saying that earlier, but you're exactly right. And
it was embarrassing. I didn't even want to give them
any air. I didn't want to talk about them. I
just wanted to ignore them.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
But you're right.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
There's people like Gavin Newsom was the first one out, who,
by the way, is mister social media. He wants to
be Trump Junior. He's on social media all the time
talking about everything, and now he's going on podcasts, he's
following the Trump playbook. But he was out within seconds
after learning about the tragedy, not talking about the kids,
(12:59):
not to talking about how horrible this is. Not talking
about prayers for these kids right away. Oh we gotta
get ready to get rid of guns. That's what we
gotta do, get ready guns. And he blamed the Republicans
of course. Oh yeah, the Republicans won't get rid of guns.
It was embarrassing. That man could never be president. I'm
shocked that they ever elected him in California.
Speaker 13 (13:22):
CNN and MSNBC must stop misinforming their viewers. Anderson Cooper
refused to reveal the guy's name yesterday. Well, because I
believe it goes against their narrative, their agenda. The guy
was a transgender, he hated kids, or he hated Jews,
(13:43):
or he had a thing against Donald Trump, and it
goes against their agenda. But they lie to their viewers,
so people always believe that.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Yeah, he was sick. But it is incredible. We've had
six six masked shootings by people who are transgender over
the last ten years, over the last decade. That's way
above the national average, and I think it needs to
be something that's looked at. I'm not saying that it's
just the fact that your transgender. What I'm saying is
(14:14):
a lot of transgender people suffer from mental illness, and
that absolutely needs to be looked at.
Speaker 12 (14:21):
You bad, bad timing for Tish games. Didn't you just
try to convince Pam Bondy that New York doesn't need
any help. Why don't Democrats just knock it off, suck
it up, take the help. That's good for everyone, not
just one party for everyone. They got to grow up.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
They only have one issue. If you've noticed, they just
had like a big sleep over, a big you know,
school camp out up in Minnesota. Ironically, and they were
up there talking about what they're gonna do, how can
they regroup, why don't people like us? And they came
up with nothing except for they all hate Donald Trump
(15:02):
and they're gonna run against Donald Trump. They had a
worked really well the last time.
Speaker 14 (15:06):
Larry the speed and bust lane cameras, and all of
those are installed by out of state contractors who keep
one third of the fines. I'd like to know if
that's the case with the congestion pricing cameras, and then
you'll know the answer of why this is such a struggle.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yeah, that's a great point.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I will look into that and I'll report back to
you because I don't care who's making money. Nobody should
be making money on those congestion cameras. They shouldn't exist.
It is just every The Democrats always try to figure
out a new way to take our money without taxing us,
but it just is another tax. Thanks for your talkbacks.
(15:48):
Keep them coming. It's a great day to have a conversation.
It's really important on a day like this. So we
knew it was going to happen, and it's finally happening.
Liveries by drones. Amazon was looking at this. Remember Amazon
bought thousands of drones years ago and then couldn't get
(16:09):
around local laws about flying the drones and filling the
air with them. But it's gonna happen, you know, and
these cars are gonna get hit. There's gonna be problems.
But this first ones are going to be in Texas
and it is Chipolte that's doing it. For the first time,
I'm looking at these drones. They are spectacular. They are
(16:31):
they You have to put your address in They checked
to see if they can fly to your house. Then
when you're approved Chipote every single day, if you want
to eat Chipotle every single day, Chipotle, I should say
I keep Chipotle.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
So that's the first thing that's gonna fly through the air,
Mexican food.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
That's the first thing it's gonna fly through the air night.
Speaker 15 (16:52):
Also, how would they not be able to fly to
your house? It's not like they're flying. What's what's gonna
stop them?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
What do you mean?
Speaker 15 (16:59):
What's how how would they not be able to fly
to your house. They're flying, you know, and it's Texas.
It's not like it's very that's true.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
That's true. And they can get around. They sense things
and they get around it. They fly three hundred feet,
so they're above almost.
Speaker 15 (17:12):
They's worry about road closers or anything they're flying.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I don't know. Maybe it's just they're afraid somebody in
Texas is going to have a gun and shooting. Yeah,
that's probably probably gunner. They get some food that taco
bell might shoot them down. Let's get the latest news
now at seven thirty with Jacqueline Carl Jacqueline.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Larry, Good Morning.
Speaker 9 (17:28):
Two children are dead and seventeen people injured after a
shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school on Wednesday morning. The
shooting happened dad Annunciation Catholic School during a mass celebrating
the first week of school. Among the injured were fourteen
children between the ages of six and fifteen, along with
three parishioners in their eighties. Police say the shooter died
(17:49):
of a self inflicted gunshot wound. And Reverdal Sharpton and
the National Action Network are leading a march on Wall
Street and Lower Manhattan today against President Trump's roll back
of DEI policies.
Speaker 16 (18:02):
Al Sharpton says Trump's attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
We're only the prelude as he's now dangling threats to
take over American cities led by black mayors. Sharpton says
this march is to remind Trump of the power of
Black Americans and their dollars. The Trump administration has argued
DEI initiatives are discriminatory, but Sharpton says if we leave
Trump unchecked on DEI, he'll completely erase the freedom's previously
(18:25):
fought for.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
I'm Scott Pringle wr.
Speaker 9 (18:27):
News, So weddings am I right? According to BuzzFeed, a
post in the wedding shaming subreddit asks people to share
the weirdest stuff they've seen on wedding registries. Well, it's
there are some pretty weird things. We've got a Volkswagen beetle,
a four pound bag of Lucky Charms, marshmallows, canned hams,
(18:48):
and Jiff peanut butter nose hair trimmers. One woman writes,
my husband put a lifetime supply of weed whacker on
ours and a neighbor bought it. Another one put a coffin.
Another one says Lego sets McDonald's gift certificates a squatty potty.
How classy and what's the most bizarre thing you guys
(19:08):
have seen on a wedding registry and did anyone buy it.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I haven't seen anything weird yet.
Speaker 15 (19:15):
I've only been to a few weddings of my adult life,
so I can't comment. But some of those weren't that weird.
Some of them were kind of wholesome, like the food
ones and like the squatty potty and everything on a
wedding registry.
Speaker 9 (19:27):
A squatty potty.
Speaker 15 (19:28):
I mean it's a little odd, but like a Volkswagen
Beetles crazy a car.
Speaker 9 (19:33):
That one. She said, what the bride said to her friend.
His family's rich, so I'm.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Going to shoot my shot.
Speaker 15 (19:39):
I think she got it. I think she got it.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
The nose hair clippers, that's a message. That was one person.
Speaker 15 (19:47):
Yeah, yes, that was that was That was The wife
was like, it was like, hey, my my man's got
to clean his nose. Somebody please get this from So.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
There you go.
Speaker 9 (19:57):
If anybody's ever heard of anything weird or please let us.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Thanks a lot, Jacqueline Carl.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
The FBI is now investigating the church shooting in Minneapolis.
With the shooter dead, what are they looking for now?
We'll talk with former NYP de Detective Michael Sapracone next.
And we all remember that one teacher, don't we that
made a difference, who believed in us, challenged us, just
made learning fun. Now is your chance to say thank
(20:22):
you to that teacher in a big way. With iHeartRadio's
fank a Teacher. This is all powered by donor's choice.
You can nominate an outstanding public school teacher, the one
who went far beyond for their students, for a chance
to win five thousand dollars and get this, the teacher
gets to use it any way they want in their classroom.
Teachers like our teacher of the day, Christa Hutchison, who
(20:47):
teaches at hospital schools in the Bronx. Kristin works with
the students affected by traumatic brain injuries, many of whom
are nonverbal. People who nominated her tell us that Kristin
uses patience, creativity, and deep compassion to help each child
find their voice, whether through communication devices, gestures, or other
(21:10):
small breakthroughs. Well what a teacher, Kristin help us say
thank you to the educator shaping our future. Just like Kristin,
nominate your favorite teacher now at iHeartRadio dot com slash
Teachers well as They are still investigating this mass shooting
up in Minneapolis with two children dead and fifteen others wounded.
(21:34):
They are trying to piece together exactly what happened. They
have a lot of evidence, including a video manifesto, but
what exactly are they after now that the FBI is
involved in local police are involved. Let's go to a
man that's been involved in these type of investigations in
the past, Michael Sapracone who ran for US Senate. He
(21:57):
is a retired NYPD first raid detective and of course
he's security expert and he is more than willing when
we ask him to come on, and we really appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Michael.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Good morning, Good morning, Larry, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
So what is going on right now in the investigation.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
I guess they're just trying to tie up woes ends
and make sure that they have all the possible situations
now packed And basically this becomes a training time for us,
for the law enforcements around the country, so we can
see what mistakes may have been made, what we can
do to prevent these type of situations that are happening.
You have to realize security evolves, These threats evolve every
(22:39):
single day. We've gone from basic situations to cyber threats,
terrorism and mass shooting.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
So we need to be excuse me, prepared for these things.
We need to talk about public.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Awareness, we need to talk about see something, say something.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Obviously, this is a young person with.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Many, many issues over the course of their twenty some years.
We look at this manifesto, we see his hatred for Catholics,
his hatred for Jews, his hatred for President Trump.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Pretty much he hates everyone.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
He spells out different plans of what he might do
and where he might do it.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
So with him, we never want to blame parents.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
I have five children, But we need to be aware
of the things that we see in front of us.
And sometimes we're afraid of that and we don't want
to bring that up because we think it'll just pass.
But obviously, with what's going on in this country with
mass shootings over the last ten years, going back almost
thirteen years ago to Sandy and then to Texas and
to Florida, we have a problem that we need to
(23:39):
solve and we need to work together, and we need
to be aware of and mental health is a big
part of that problem.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Larry, Yes, I agree with you, and we were just
talking about it a moment ago that it seems like
in all of these school shootings, this is a little
bit different. But in all the school shootings, it was
a student that was isolated, that that didn't have friends,
didn't feel like they were connected to the rest of society,
and all through his schooling, this guy was the same way.
(24:09):
He felt isolated, he felt different, and so he was
left to his own devices. I mean, he was accumulating guns, obviously,
he was putting together these videos obviously, and so he
had plans for a long time. And I guess the
big question is is society to blame, not just the parents,
(24:30):
but everybody, because when somebody's different, we just isolate him,
we don't pay attention to them. Maybe we should be
paying more attention to those on the outskirts of society
who put themselves there or we put them there.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Well, I don't disagree, I mean, but how do we
do that? That's the question? How do we do that?
Speaker 3 (24:49):
How do we make that better?
Speaker 4 (24:51):
I mean this person actually, I mean he he planned
this step by step, may not have planned the actual
way he was going to do it, but by the
ma wuckings on the weapons by the markings on the AMMO,
by what he put together.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
He legally bought guns and I'm not really.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Sure if he purchased the guns or they were purchased
by a family member. That still hasn't really come out.
But he methodically planned this, that he would do something
like this, And how does that not pop up somewhere though?
How do we not see that? How do we not
see what rage is inside of him? But well, we
still need to look at how do.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
We defend against these things?
Speaker 4 (25:27):
And if it's not helping them mentally disturbed, how do
we do it? From a security background, I think, Larry,
what's important about.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
That is coordination. You know, you have schools. I was
a school board.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
President of Long Island for many years, and of course
I had a security company. Sometimes cost outweigh what we
need to do, and people concern, well, if we put
on guards into school, it's going to cost a lot
of money. We don't really have that enough budget. How
will parents handle that? Well, I think it's very important
to show presence in the school. And I'm not saying
(25:58):
you should put a uniform police there because that's almost impossible.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
In most cases.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
The police department doesn't have the manpower to do that,
but we should hire trained professionals in playing clothes total
least identify people and stop people as they come into
schools and walk around the perimeters. Now, yet, to this
situation seems like a situation that if we had had
somebody on some type of patrol, there being a security officer,
(26:23):
that might have been avoided this. This person put two
by fours to block the doors. So this is not
something that happened within a second before the incident.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
So that's a possibility. If we had.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Someone walking around that school, we may that may have
deterred him at that moment, okay, from.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Doing what he did.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
If we had had a car in a parking lot,
maybe a security officer or you know, retired police officer
or somebody there that may have done something different. This
is a beautiful day in Minnesota, the first week of school,
young people going to a mass and into a mass.
We need to we need to think about how we
safeguard our children and everybody from these terrorizing attacks.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
I mean, the response time.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Is terrific with ATF being there and the FBI being
there right away, But this whole situation appeared to be
done before anybody responded.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
To this laty.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Yeah, and it seems like it was being planned for
a while. And how does nobody nobody notice that or
even pay attention to this kid as he was having
problems growing up. I guess because of privacy laws and
hippo laws. Maybe that's what have to has to change
when they think somebody can be a danger to themselves
or to others. I'm not sure where we go from
(27:38):
here with this case. What can be done? It seems
like every time we talk about it I did. However, Michael,
you'd be interested in that. Maybe you already know about it,
that there is something coming out now and as a
matter of fact, it's going to be sold the police
departments across the country in the next week. And there's
one police department that already has it that scrubs social
(27:59):
media twenty four hours a day looking for threats that
police should be aware of that might have helped in
this case.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I think that's a great idea.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
I mean, and you know that's something we don't have
to put a police officer on to monitor that, right.
We can have trained individuals who are good at it
and AI or able to look at these things and
be able to point this out to the local authorities
and say, hey, we see a problem in this area
with this person or this group.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
I think that's a big deal.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
We've probably been monitoring those things for a long time,
Larry in one way or another, the FBI and Secret Service,
but I think it's time we start doing that at
a local level.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
That's exactly That's exactly the difference, Michael. Michael, he's telling
it to local police departments. That's exactly the difference. They
may have this nationally, but he has it. Thanks so much,
Michael for your time. Michael Sapraconne. Always appreciate your expertise.
He ran for the US Enate. You'll remember, retired NYPD
first grade detective and security expert.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Have a good day, Michael.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Thanks Hi you too.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
A new poll on Americans feelings about Donald Trump's policies
is out and Donald Trump has the numbers next.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Every day it.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Seems like we're hit with a new poll and tracking
all the polls is Rory O'Neil wo R National Correspondent.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Which one are you focusing on? Rory?
Speaker 5 (29:23):
Well, last week of the month must being We've got
a Quinnipiac University poll from up the road there in Connecticut.
I like to follow their monthly polls because it gives
us a good trend. You know, don't freak out over
one number from one pole at one time. Always try
to look at what the trend is up to.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Yeah, I agree with you. There was a whole lot
of polls released yesterday.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
What does Quinnipiac say, Quinnipiac is looking well.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
They always ask base questions about, you know, what's the
president's performance, how's he's doing, what's his job approval? But
they also throw in questions about headlines at the day
and on that issue about the deployment of the National
Guard troops throughout DC, voters fifty six to forty one
percent oppose that move, Republicans support it, Democrats do not.
(30:07):
But there's also a gender split here. Men are about
fifty to fifty on the issue, but women sixty three
to thirty three percent oppose the idea of deploying troops
to the streets of DC.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
This is exactly why I don't I follow polls. I
love polls. I go to them all the time. They're
like candy to me, but they're all over the place.
Because the Associated Press has a poll out showing that
eighty one percent of adults think that the cities have
a major crime problem, and well over fifty percent think
(30:43):
it's a good idea to send troops. So it's amazing.
It's like pick a poll. You can find your favorite
poll that are going to support any way you feel
about a particular issue.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
Yeah, and we're also seeing I think from I haven't
seen that pole specifically, but I think they go in
opposite directions. When it comes to President Trump's rule numbers,
Quinnipiac has some of his lowest numbers of this term.
Thirty seven percent of voters approve of the way Donald
Trump is handling his job, fifty five percent disapproved.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I think the.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Poll high this term was around forty six percent back
in March.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
According to Quinnipiac.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
It's been a pretty stead steady downward trend since then.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Yeah, I know, you know, there was one, two, three, four, five,
five polls put out yesterday, and so Quinnipiac had the
lowest number for Donald Trump. And so Rasmussen has him
at forty nine, but that's known to lean to the right.
AP has him at forty five. Reuters is the closest,
(31:41):
has them at forty but nobody else has them under
forty percent except Quinnipiac. And look, I went to Quinnipiac.
That's where I got my master's. I've been at the
polling center there. They have a good poll. It's just
that every once in a while they get an outlier.
Everybody does it, you know, they have they have great methods,
but every everybody has these outlies.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
What else does it say?
Speaker 5 (32:03):
And I'd go back to the trend. It also showed
Clinic their July poll showed that President Trump had forty
percent approval. They did also ask about Israel and Hamas.
Six and ten voters opposed the US sending any more
military aid to Israel. At this point, it's the highest
level of opposition, or you could say, the lowest level
of support since the October attack a few years ago.
(32:25):
On the Epstein files, seven out of ten voters say
they are following the news about the Epstein files very
very closely, and two thirds disapprove of the way that
Trump administration is handling them. And on this idea of
the Trump administration getting involved in those displays at the
Smithsonian Museums, you know, the administration has said they're too
negative they should do more to celebrate the accomplishments of Americans.
(32:49):
Six and ten voters opposed the review by the Trump administration.
Republicans are more likely to support the review overall.
Speaker 13 (32:56):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
I mean, it's so much different than all the other
polls that are out. The Quinnipiac one is the worst
for Donald Trump, and I'm surprised at that because they
aren't always I don't want to rip the Quinnipiac poll.
I just think I think that they just they're an
outlier this time, and that happened all the time.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
I refer to them for the consistency and to watch
the trend but I always remind people this is the
same outfit the predicted president Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Yes, very well, said all right, thanks so much.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Rory O'Neill.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Will talk to you again tomorrow. Appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
Thanks, Larry, talk too soon.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
So let me just tell you what this Associated Press
poll says, which was out and they also do a
monthly poll, just like Quinnipiac does, so you can catch
their trends too. They say, by a vast majority, people
in the major cities in this country thinks there is
a major crime problem. A major crime problem. I think
that's significant. Eighty one percent believe there's a major crime
(33:58):
problem and fifty six percent because with the major crime problem,
even Democrats say there's a major crime problem. Then when
they said is did Donald Trump do the right thing?
It drops down to fifty six percent. But even the
majority there thinks Donald Trump is right, and so that's
significant because it does. He does this all the time.
(34:19):
He puts the Democrats on the wrong side of an issue.
So now they look like their for crime and against
crime fighting, and they fall for it every single time.
Even at their conference they said, we can't keep falling
for this. Speaking of polls, if you look at the
polls in the New York marriage rays or in Mamdania's
(34:40):
consistently way ahead, but political analyst J. C. Polanco provides
a ray of hope. He's coming up after the eight
o'clock news
In the Big Three. It's a tough day, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
We've had a another mass shooting, this one of children
in a church, children from a Catholic school that were
inside a church for the first day of school. Two
children were killed, seventeen others were injured, and the murderer
put out a sick video of sick video manifesto on
(00:27):
YouTube just the night before to morrow.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I'm sorry to my family, but that's it. That's the
only people. I'm sorry to those kids.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Well.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
The murderer twenty three year old Robin Westman, who identifies
as a woman but was born Robert Westman and legally
changed his name five years ago. There has been five
shootings also in the Bronx. Think about this. Three people
were killed in the Bronx and did not get the
(01:05):
attention that this god. But there's been shootings constantly in
the Bronx, even though we're told all the time, remember
crimes down, crimes down, No, no, no, It's not the
last thing we need right now is a soft on
crime socialist as mayor. We need a crime fighter.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
I'm dealing with what is becoming the number one issue, crime,
public safety, and quality of life.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
I'm the expert in that field.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
These other three candidates have failed the public in that regard.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
How about this, What a turnaround in the nation's capital.
The Democratic mayor that first fought the federal takeover is
now admitting that federal involvement in fighting crime has worked.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
The difference between this period, this twenty day period of
this federal surge and last year represents a eighty seven
percent reduction in carjackings in Washington, DC. We know that
when carjackings go down, when use of gun goes down,
(02:07):
when homicider robbery go down, neighborhoods feel safer and are safer.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Wow, good for her, Good for Mayor Bowser. It's tough
to admit when you're wrong, but when the evidence is
right in front of you, it's wonderful when you admit
that Donald Trump was right. And New York is getting
a new Acella train today and a brand new Penn
station in a couple of years at record speed thanks
(02:35):
to Donald Trump. So what a what should that new
station be called?
Speaker 7 (02:40):
I imagine you're asking, is this going to be Trump's station?
I think that is a nice ring to it. But listen,
we're we're all working on building this project and get
into town. And if Turey and have a conversation about
name changes, that's a conversation that could happen at some
other point.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Now, let's go to John Decker, w O R. White
House in Washington, correspond and host of the new podcast
The White House Briefing Room with John Decker, which can
be found on the iHeartRadio app. John is with us
every Tuesday and Thursday at this time. Good morning, John, Listen.
I want to talk about the tariffs on on India
(03:18):
and China and what's going on with Russia. But before
I do, I just want to marvel. I was I
was really struck by the cabinet meeting the other day
three and a half hours long, and the fact that the.
Speaker 8 (03:32):
Three hours in sixteen minutes to be exact. Yes, a
very long cabinet meeting.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Okay, I was rounding up, but you were, Yeah, three
and a half hours long, three hours and sixteen minutes long,
and the media was there the entire time.
Speaker 8 (03:47):
Yeah, And I must tell you if you did not
know this already, the cabinet meeting is the meeting that
you see on Chieva on television. It doesn't continue after
the media as asked to leave the It concludes at
that point. So everything that you see in terms of
the president's meeting with his cabinet is happening right before
(04:08):
the television cameras, all three hours and sixteen minutes of it.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Has that ever happened before?
Speaker 8 (04:14):
No, No, certainly not. You know, let me just bring
you back to what things were like under President Trump's predecessor,
President Joe Biden. We would be brought in at the
very top of the cabinet meeting. President Biden would read
from a three x five card some notes, and then
(04:34):
we were led out of the room. We wouldn't hear
from any of the other cabinet secretaries. The President Biden
would not speak extemporaneously and would not take any questions,
just let out of the room. Different obviously, under President Trump,
it's a return to what I experienced covering him in
the first term. He brings the media in. You see
(04:55):
that he speaks, the cabinet speaks, and then he takes
as it relates to what happened just the other day,
forty five minutes of questions from the reporters in the
pool that day.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
As if they were a part of the cabinet meeting.
I mean he would talk to them, he would joke
with them, he would look at them when they you know,
he'd talk to somebody then to look at the media
and talk to them. It was I'm just stunned by that.
And I and it seemed like the very next day
everybody just moved on. But I was going, wait a minute,
wait a minute, that's never that's never happened before.
Speaker 8 (05:29):
Yeah, and it's certainly new. And you know, if you
happen to be in the pool on a day in
which there's a cabinet meeting, my advice to you, actually
my advice to cabinet members as well. And I interviewed
two cabinet members following the president's cabinet meeting. Immediately after,
I interviewed Doug Bergham, the Interior Secretary, in Brook Rollins,
the AG Secretary. My advice to all of them is
(05:51):
get something to eat before that cabinet because it's gonna
last a long time.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Also, the people that have to carry equipment.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
He even made a com at one point said have
you been holding that mike?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
That boom might the entire time.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
The President said that, yeah, you got a work out
to be in that room. Let's talk about these tariffs,
because it was well reported that there was going to
be a fifty percent tariff put on India because they
were getting gas and oil from Russia. Why not, China
is getting more gas and oil right nothing, There was
(06:26):
no punishment for them.
Speaker 8 (06:28):
No, the biggest purchaser of Russian oil is China. The
President's trying to reach a trade deal with China. So
I think that there's a direct connection and direct correlation
between trying to reach a trade deal and holding off
and applying these secondary tariffs on China. But if you
want to apply this pressure evenly, then you have to
(06:49):
apply it to every country, every country, not just India
that is purchasing this Russian oil. That is what sustains Russia,
that is what funds its war against Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
You know, he keeps talking about the punishment for Russia,
and everybody's assuming it's gonna be it's gonna be tariffs.
And I know that we made a deal to get
gas and oil from Europe so they wouldn't get it
from Russia.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
And we have these tariffs in India.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
But he keeps talking about how severe they're going to be,
how severe this punishment's going to be. Do we know
everything it's exactly going to be? Yet we don't.
Speaker 8 (07:22):
And the President continues making that threat of severe consequences
for Russia, but he hasn't pulled the trigger on that
just yet. And you know, I don't know what the
weight is. You may have seen overnight the biggest missile
and drone strike on the capital of Ukraine since President
Trump met with President Putin in Alaska a few weeks ago.
(07:46):
More than a dozen people killed in this strike. And
so I don't know what you wait for. You know,
it seems to me as if Putin is just going
along with the policy that he wants to carry out
and was not in any way this way from these attacks,
even after the President met with him in Anchorage, Alaska.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Oh, and that cabinet meeting, he said he's given him
two weeks again, I guess, which is his magic number
all the time.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Because it worked.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
It worked apparently to get to get the summit. He
wasn't clear on what was going to happen after that,
but he said he kept saying, you know, Putin's close.
Sometimes it's Zelensky, Putin's close, and I'm and then when
Zolensky's close Putin I have to work on. I don't
Nobody really knows what's going on behind the scenes except
(08:34):
for the people involved. But is there any impression at
all that were close.
Speaker 8 (08:39):
No, there's not. You know. I think that's one of
the great character traits of President Trump, and that is
he's an optimist. But the reality is is that we
aren't any closer. There's to me, that optimism that existed
at the beginning part of last week after the President
met with not only Presidents Elena get the White House,
(09:00):
but those European leaders, that optimism has gone away. And
that's an unfortunate thing. And I think that what will
ultimately bring Putin to the negotiating table to me with
Zelenski is when the President applies those secondary tariffs on
every country that's purchasing that Russian oil, including China, including Brazil,
(09:22):
including South Africa, in the same manner that he's applied
those secondary terriffs to India.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah, and you've raised a great point. Why wait two
weeks at this point, if that seems like it's the
only thing that's going to do it, it's that seems
to make sense. Next time you talk to the President.
You should pass that along. I will do that.
Speaker 8 (09:42):
It could be as soon as today.
Speaker 9 (09:43):
You never know, Larry.
Speaker 8 (09:44):
I will definitely pass that a lot to him.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Thanks a lot. John Decker W l Or White House Correspondent.
He'll be back with us next week on Tuesday and
Thursday at seven oh five.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Thanks so much. John.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Well, it was bound to happen in food deliveries by drone.
It's happening right now and we've got the details next.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Well.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Today is one of those days.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
After that horrendous obscene shooting, mass shooting children in a
church on the first day of school, praying in a
Catholic church, some coward opens up fire from outside. It's
one of those days when we need to gather together
and just talk about it and try to figure things out,
(10:30):
try to figure out what can't be figured out. The
number if you want to talk is you go to
the iHeartRadio app and you look for seven to ten
wo R there and then you see the talk back
feature and that's how you get in.
Speaker 10 (10:46):
I think we need to concentrate today on just praying
for those two children that lost their lives and their families,
and also that all the other kids and teachers instead
life and everything are able to recover from this and
get through this mentally because they have a long road
(11:08):
to travel.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
You're absolutely right, that was well said, Larry.
Speaker 11 (11:12):
You really want to see something disturbing, go to X
and see this guy.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I mean they have a whole video of.
Speaker 12 (11:20):
This guy for like a half an hour.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
This guy was phase cookies man.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
He had problems.
Speaker 11 (11:26):
But my thought is, now that we're saving all this
money from doze and everything else, listen, I would consider
not taking a rebate from my government put it into
mental health.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, there are some obstacles that were put up. By
the way, it's all democratic policy. There are sort of
obstacles that were put up with privacy about doing exactly
what you're talking about. That's what we have to deal
with first, get rid of the obstacles. And because we
can help people. It's not to go after people with
mental health, it's to try to help them. I'm just
(12:01):
so sick and tired of hearing about you know, like
right away the liberals jump up and gun control.
Speaker 12 (12:08):
We've got to.
Speaker 13 (12:09):
Have action, not you know, thoughts and prayers.
Speaker 9 (12:14):
But I don't care what you do.
Speaker 8 (12:16):
You could take all the.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Guns away and if people want to kill, they're gonna kill.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
They'll find one way or another.
Speaker 9 (12:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I was saying that earlier, but you're exactly right. And
it was embarrassing. I didn't even want to give them
any air. I didn't want to talk about them. I
just wanted to ignore them.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
But you're right.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
There's people like Gavin Newsom was the first one out, who,
by the way, is mister social media. He wants to
be Trump Junior. He's on social media all the time
talking about everything, and now he's going on podcasts, he's
following the Trump playbook. But he was out within seconds
after learning about the tragedy, not talking about the kids,
(12:59):
not to talking about how horrible this is. Not talking
about prayers for these kids right away. Oh we gotta
get ready to get rid of guns. That's what we
gotta do, get ready guns. And he blamed the Republicans
of course. Oh yeah, the Republicans won't get rid of guns.
It was embarrassing. That man could never be president. I'm
shocked that they ever elected him in California.
Speaker 13 (13:22):
CNN and MSNBC must stop misinforming their viewers. Anderson Cooper
refused to reveal the guy's name yesterday. Well, because I
believe it goes against their narrative, their agenda. The guy
was a transgender, he hated kids, or he hated Jews,
(13:43):
or he had a thing against Donald Trump, and it
goes against their agenda. But they lie to their viewers,
so people always believe that.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Yeah, he was sick. But it is incredible. We've had
six six masked shootings by people who are transgender over
the last ten years, over the last decade. That's way
above the national average, and I think it needs to
be something that's looked at. I'm not saying that it's
just the fact that your transgender. What I'm saying is
(14:14):
a lot of transgender people suffer from mental illness, and
that absolutely needs to be looked at.
Speaker 12 (14:21):
You bad, bad timing for Tish games. Didn't you just
try to convince Pam Bondy that New York doesn't need
any help. Why don't Democrats just knock it off, suck
it up, take the help. That's good for everyone, not
just one party for everyone. They got to grow up.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
They only have one issue. If you've noticed, they just
had like a big sleep over, a big you know,
school camp out up in Minnesota. Ironically, and they were
up there talking about what they're gonna do, how can
they regroup, why don't people like us? And they came
up with nothing except for they all hate Donald Trump
(15:02):
and they're gonna run against Donald Trump. They had a
worked really well the last time.
Speaker 14 (15:06):
Larry the speed and bust lane cameras, and all of
those are installed by out of state contractors who keep
one third of the fines. I'd like to know if
that's the case with the congestion pricing cameras, and then
you'll know the answer of why this is such a struggle.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yeah, that's a great point.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I will look into that and I'll report back to
you because I don't care who's making money. Nobody should
be making money on those congestion cameras. They shouldn't exist.
It is just every The Democrats always try to figure
out a new way to take our money without taxing us,
but it just is another tax. Thanks for your talkbacks.
(15:48):
Keep them coming. It's a great day to have a conversation.
It's really important on a day like this. So we
knew it was going to happen, and it's finally happening.
Liveries by drones. Amazon was looking at this. Remember Amazon
bought thousands of drones years ago and then couldn't get
(16:09):
around local laws about flying the drones and filling the
air with them. But it's gonna happen, you know, and
these cars are gonna get hit. There's gonna be problems.
But this first ones are going to be in Texas
and it is Chipolte that's doing it. For the first time,
I'm looking at these drones. They are spectacular. They are
(16:31):
they You have to put your address in They checked
to see if they can fly to your house. Then
when you're approved Chipote every single day, if you want
to eat Chipotle every single day, Chipotle, I should say
I keep Chipotle.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
So that's the first thing that's gonna fly through the air,
Mexican food.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
That's the first thing it's gonna fly through the air night.
Speaker 15 (16:52):
Also, how would they not be able to fly to
your house? It's not like they're flying. What's what's gonna
stop them?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
What do you mean?
Speaker 15 (16:59):
What's how how would they not be able to fly
to your house. They're flying, you know, and it's Texas.
It's not like it's very that's true.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
That's true. And they can get around. They sense things
and they get around it. They fly three hundred feet,
so they're above almost.
Speaker 15 (17:12):
They's worry about road closers or anything they're flying.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I don't know. Maybe it's just they're afraid somebody in
Texas is going to have a gun and shooting. Yeah,
that's probably probably gunner. They get some food that taco
bell might shoot them down. Let's get the latest news
now at seven thirty with Jacqueline Carl Jacqueline.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Larry, Good Morning.
Speaker 9 (17:28):
Two children are dead and seventeen people injured after a
shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school on Wednesday morning. The
shooting happened dad Annunciation Catholic School during a mass celebrating
the first week of school. Among the injured were fourteen
children between the ages of six and fifteen, along with
three parishioners in their eighties. Police say the shooter died
(17:49):
of a self inflicted gunshot wound. And Reverdal Sharpton and
the National Action Network are leading a march on Wall
Street and Lower Manhattan today against President Trump's roll back
of DEI policies.
Speaker 16 (18:02):
Al Sharpton says Trump's attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
We're only the prelude as he's now dangling threats to
take over American cities led by black mayors. Sharpton says
this march is to remind Trump of the power of
Black Americans and their dollars. The Trump administration has argued
DEI initiatives are discriminatory, but Sharpton says if we leave
Trump unchecked on DEI, he'll completely erase the freedom's previously
(18:25):
fought for.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
I'm Scott Pringle wr.
Speaker 9 (18:27):
News, So weddings am I right? According to BuzzFeed, a
post in the wedding shaming subreddit asks people to share
the weirdest stuff they've seen on wedding registries. Well, it's
there are some pretty weird things. We've got a Volkswagen beetle,
a four pound bag of Lucky Charms, marshmallows, canned hams,
(18:48):
and Jiff peanut butter nose hair trimmers. One woman writes,
my husband put a lifetime supply of weed whacker on
ours and a neighbor bought it. Another one put a coffin.
Another one says Lego sets McDonald's gift certificates a squatty potty.
How classy and what's the most bizarre thing you guys
(19:08):
have seen on a wedding registry and did anyone buy it.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I haven't seen anything weird yet.
Speaker 15 (19:15):
I've only been to a few weddings of my adult life,
so I can't comment. But some of those weren't that weird.
Some of them were kind of wholesome, like the food
ones and like the squatty potty and everything on a
wedding registry.
Speaker 9 (19:27):
A squatty potty.
Speaker 15 (19:28):
I mean it's a little odd, but like a Volkswagen
Beetles crazy a car.
Speaker 9 (19:33):
That one. She said, what the bride said to her friend.
His family's rich, so I'm.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Going to shoot my shot.
Speaker 15 (19:39):
I think she got it. I think she got it.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
The nose hair clippers, that's a message. That was one person.
Speaker 15 (19:47):
Yeah, yes, that was that was That was The wife
was like, it was like, hey, my my man's got
to clean his nose. Somebody please get this from So.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
There you go.
Speaker 9 (19:57):
If anybody's ever heard of anything weird or please let us.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Thanks a lot, Jacqueline Carl.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
The FBI is now investigating the church shooting in Minneapolis.
With the shooter dead, what are they looking for now?
We'll talk with former NYP de Detective Michael Sapracone next.
And we all remember that one teacher, don't we that
made a difference, who believed in us, challenged us, just
made learning fun. Now is your chance to say thank
(20:22):
you to that teacher in a big way. With iHeartRadio's
fank a Teacher. This is all powered by donor's choice.
You can nominate an outstanding public school teacher, the one
who went far beyond for their students, for a chance
to win five thousand dollars and get this, the teacher
gets to use it any way they want in their classroom.
Teachers like our teacher of the day, Christa Hutchison, who
(20:47):
teaches at hospital schools in the Bronx. Kristin works with
the students affected by traumatic brain injuries, many of whom
are nonverbal. People who nominated her tell us that Kristin
uses patience, creativity, and deep compassion to help each child
find their voice, whether through communication devices, gestures, or other
(21:10):
small breakthroughs. Well what a teacher, Kristin help us say
thank you to the educator shaping our future. Just like Kristin,
nominate your favorite teacher now at iHeartRadio dot com slash
Teachers well as They are still investigating this mass shooting
up in Minneapolis with two children dead and fifteen others wounded.
(21:34):
They are trying to piece together exactly what happened. They
have a lot of evidence, including a video manifesto, but
what exactly are they after now that the FBI is
involved in local police are involved. Let's go to a
man that's been involved in these type of investigations in
the past, Michael Sapracone who ran for US Senate. He
(21:57):
is a retired NYPD first raid detective and of course
he's security expert and he is more than willing when
we ask him to come on, and we really appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Michael.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Good morning, Good morning, Larry, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
So what is going on right now in the investigation.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
I guess they're just trying to tie up woes ends
and make sure that they have all the possible situations
now packed And basically this becomes a training time for us,
for the law enforcements around the country, so we can
see what mistakes may have been made, what we can
do to prevent these type of situations that are happening.
You have to realize security evolves, These threats evolve every
(22:39):
single day. We've gone from basic situations to cyber threats,
terrorism and mass shooting.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
So we need to be excuse me, prepared for these things.
We need to talk about public.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Awareness, we need to talk about see something, say something.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Obviously, this is a young person with.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Many, many issues over the course of their twenty some years.
We look at this manifesto, we see his hatred for Catholics,
his hatred for Jews, his hatred for President Trump.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Pretty much he hates everyone.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
He spells out different plans of what he might do
and where he might do it.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
So with him, we never want to blame parents.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
I have five children, But we need to be aware
of the things that we see in front of us.
And sometimes we're afraid of that and we don't want
to bring that up because we think it'll just pass.
But obviously, with what's going on in this country with
mass shootings over the last ten years, going back almost
thirteen years ago to Sandy and then to Texas and
to Florida, we have a problem that we need to
(23:39):
solve and we need to work together, and we need
to be aware of and mental health is a big
part of that problem.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Larry, Yes, I agree with you, and we were just
talking about it a moment ago that it seems like
in all of these school shootings, this is a little
bit different. But in all the school shootings, it was
a student that was isolated, that that didn't have friends,
didn't feel like they were connected to the rest of society,
and all through his schooling, this guy was the same way.
(24:09):
He felt isolated, he felt different, and so he was
left to his own devices. I mean, he was accumulating guns, obviously,
he was putting together these videos obviously, and so he
had plans for a long time. And I guess the
big question is is society to blame, not just the parents,
(24:30):
but everybody, because when somebody's different, we just isolate him,
we don't pay attention to them. Maybe we should be
paying more attention to those on the outskirts of society
who put themselves there or we put them there.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Well, I don't disagree, I mean, but how do we
do that? That's the question? How do we do that?
Speaker 3 (24:49):
How do we make that better?
Speaker 4 (24:51):
I mean this person actually, I mean he he planned
this step by step, may not have planned the actual
way he was going to do it, but by the
ma wuckings on the weapons by the markings on the AMMO,
by what he put together.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
He legally bought guns and I'm not really.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Sure if he purchased the guns or they were purchased
by a family member. That still hasn't really come out.
But he methodically planned this, that he would do something
like this, And how does that not pop up somewhere though?
How do we not see that? How do we not
see what rage is inside of him? But well, we
still need to look at how do.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
We defend against these things?
Speaker 4 (25:27):
And if it's not helping them mentally disturbed, how do
we do it? From a security background, I think, Larry,
what's important about.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
That is coordination. You know, you have schools. I was
a school board.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
President of Long Island for many years, and of course
I had a security company. Sometimes cost outweigh what we
need to do, and people concern, well, if we put
on guards into school, it's going to cost a lot
of money. We don't really have that enough budget. How
will parents handle that? Well, I think it's very important
to show presence in the school. And I'm not saying
(25:58):
you should put a uniform police there because that's almost impossible.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
In most cases.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
The police department doesn't have the manpower to do that,
but we should hire trained professionals in playing clothes total
least identify people and stop people as they come into
schools and walk around the perimeters. Now, yet, to this
situation seems like a situation that if we had had
somebody on some type of patrol, there being a security officer,
(26:23):
that might have been avoided this. This person put two
by fours to block the doors. So this is not
something that happened within a second before the incident.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
So that's a possibility. If we had.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Someone walking around that school, we may that may have
deterred him at that moment, okay, from.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Doing what he did.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
If we had had a car in a parking lot,
maybe a security officer or you know, retired police officer
or somebody there that may have done something different. This
is a beautiful day in Minnesota, the first week of school,
young people going to a mass and into a mass.
We need to we need to think about how we
safeguard our children and everybody from these terrorizing attacks.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
I mean, the response time.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Is terrific with ATF being there and the FBI being
there right away, But this whole situation appeared to be
done before anybody responded.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
To this laty.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Yeah, and it seems like it was being planned for
a while. And how does nobody nobody notice that or
even pay attention to this kid as he was having
problems growing up. I guess because of privacy laws and
hippo laws. Maybe that's what have to has to change
when they think somebody can be a danger to themselves
or to others. I'm not sure where we go from
(27:38):
here with this case. What can be done? It seems
like every time we talk about it I did. However, Michael,
you'd be interested in that. Maybe you already know about it,
that there is something coming out now and as a
matter of fact, it's going to be sold the police
departments across the country in the next week. And there's
one police department that already has it that scrubs social
(27:59):
media twenty four hours a day looking for threats that
police should be aware of that might have helped in
this case.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I think that's a great idea.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
I mean, and you know that's something we don't have
to put a police officer on to monitor that, right.
We can have trained individuals who are good at it
and AI or able to look at these things and
be able to point this out to the local authorities
and say, hey, we see a problem in this area
with this person or this group.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
I think that's a big deal.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
We've probably been monitoring those things for a long time,
Larry in one way or another, the FBI and Secret Service,
but I think it's time we start doing that at
a local level.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
That's exactly That's exactly the difference, Michael. Michael, he's telling
it to local police departments. That's exactly the difference. They
may have this nationally, but he has it. Thanks so much,
Michael for your time. Michael Sapraconne. Always appreciate your expertise.
He ran for the US Enate. You'll remember, retired NYPD
first grade detective and security expert.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Have a good day, Michael.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Thanks Hi you too.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
A new poll on Americans feelings about Donald Trump's policies
is out and Donald Trump has the numbers next.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Every day it.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Seems like we're hit with a new poll and tracking
all the polls is Rory O'Neil wo R National Correspondent.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Which one are you focusing on? Rory?
Speaker 5 (29:23):
Well, last week of the month must being We've got
a Quinnipiac University poll from up the road there in Connecticut.
I like to follow their monthly polls because it gives
us a good trend. You know, don't freak out over
one number from one pole at one time. Always try
to look at what the trend is up to.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Yeah, I agree with you. There was a whole lot
of polls released yesterday.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
What does Quinnipiac say, Quinnipiac is looking well.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
They always ask base questions about, you know, what's the
president's performance, how's he's doing, what's his job approval? But
they also throw in questions about headlines at the day
and on that issue about the deployment of the National
Guard troops throughout DC, voters fifty six to forty one
percent oppose that move, Republicans support it, Democrats do not.
(30:07):
But there's also a gender split here. Men are about
fifty to fifty on the issue, but women sixty three
to thirty three percent oppose the idea of deploying troops
to the streets of DC.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
This is exactly why I don't I follow polls. I
love polls. I go to them all the time. They're
like candy to me, but they're all over the place.
Because the Associated Press has a poll out showing that
eighty one percent of adults think that the cities have
a major crime problem, and well over fifty percent think
(30:43):
it's a good idea to send troops. So it's amazing.
It's like pick a poll. You can find your favorite
poll that are going to support any way you feel
about a particular issue.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
Yeah, and we're also seeing I think from I haven't
seen that pole specifically, but I think they go in
opposite directions. When it comes to President Trump's rule numbers,
Quinnipiac has some of his lowest numbers of this term.
Thirty seven percent of voters approve of the way Donald
Trump is handling his job, fifty five percent disapproved.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I think the.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Poll high this term was around forty six percent back
in March.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
According to Quinnipiac.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
It's been a pretty stead steady downward trend since then.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Yeah, I know, you know, there was one, two, three, four, five,
five polls put out yesterday, and so Quinnipiac had the
lowest number for Donald Trump. And so Rasmussen has him
at forty nine, but that's known to lean to the right.
AP has him at forty five. Reuters is the closest,
(31:41):
has them at forty but nobody else has them under
forty percent except Quinnipiac. And look, I went to Quinnipiac.
That's where I got my master's. I've been at the
polling center there. They have a good poll. It's just
that every once in a while they get an outlier.
Everybody does it, you know, they have they have great methods,
but every everybody has these outlies.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
What else does it say?
Speaker 5 (32:03):
And I'd go back to the trend. It also showed
Clinic their July poll showed that President Trump had forty
percent approval. They did also ask about Israel and Hamas.
Six and ten voters opposed the US sending any more
military aid to Israel. At this point, it's the highest
level of opposition, or you could say, the lowest level
of support since the October attack a few years ago.
(32:25):
On the Epstein files, seven out of ten voters say
they are following the news about the Epstein files very
very closely, and two thirds disapprove of the way that
Trump administration is handling them. And on this idea of
the Trump administration getting involved in those displays at the
Smithsonian Museums, you know, the administration has said they're too
negative they should do more to celebrate the accomplishments of Americans.
(32:49):
Six and ten voters opposed the review by the Trump administration.
Republicans are more likely to support the review overall.
Speaker 13 (32:56):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
I mean, it's so much different than all the other
polls that are out. The Quinnipiac one is the worst
for Donald Trump, and I'm surprised at that because they
aren't always I don't want to rip the Quinnipiac poll.
I just think I think that they just they're an
outlier this time, and that happened all the time.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
I refer to them for the consistency and to watch
the trend but I always remind people this is the
same outfit the predicted president Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Yes, very well, said all right, thanks so much.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Rory O'Neill.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Will talk to you again tomorrow. Appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
Thanks, Larry, talk too soon.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
So let me just tell you what this Associated Press
poll says, which was out and they also do a
monthly poll, just like Quinnipiac does, so you can catch
their trends too. They say, by a vast majority, people
in the major cities in this country thinks there is
a major crime problem. A major crime problem. I think
that's significant. Eighty one percent believe there's a major crime
(33:58):
problem and fifty six percent because with the major crime problem,
even Democrats say there's a major crime problem. Then when
they said is did Donald Trump do the right thing?
It drops down to fifty six percent. But even the
majority there thinks Donald Trump is right, and so that's
significant because it does. He does this all the time.
(34:19):
He puts the Democrats on the wrong side of an issue.
So now they look like their for crime and against
crime fighting, and they fall for it every single time.
Even at their conference they said, we can't keep falling
for this. Speaking of polls, if you look at the
polls in the New York marriage rays or in Mamdania's
(34:40):
consistently way ahead, but political analyst J. C. Polanco provides
a ray of hope. He's coming up after the eight
o'clock news
