Speaker 1 (00:00):
Just a horrific story out of central Texas, death and
destruction in Kerrville in the wake of a once in
a century flood.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
People have die, kids have died.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
We're still finding people out here.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
We have to rebuild because what else do we have
about here? We have nothing.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Literally, over eighty are dead, several are missing, including twelve children.
Jim Ryan is in Texas covering the flooding. We're going
to talk with him at nine oh five. Well, the
Big Beautiful Bill is now law, and after all the
fear mongering by the Democrats, it passed by several votes.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
On this vote, the yaser two hundred and fifteen, the
nayser two hundred and fourteen, with one answering present, the
bill is passed.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
And then, so, after getting his bill passed, let's say
Donald Trump said he'll do everything he can to prevent
Zorin Mamdani from becoming mayor of New York City.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
As president of the United States, I'm proclaiming here and
now that America is never going to be communist in
any way shape form, and that intrudes New York City.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Well, we just talked to Jordana Miller about this. In Israel,
there is great hope for a ceasefire with a moss
that would release ten living hostages and the bodies of
eighteen others, including two Americans.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
A ceasfire means choosing life.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
And at the Coney Island Hot Dog eating Contest, everything
old is new again.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Champion of the world Joey Chestnut.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Joey Chestnut seventy hot dogs in ten minutes. He didn't
get the world record, which he holds, but that is
his seventeenth Mustard Yellow Belt, which is what they give
out to the winners. So congratulations to Joey Chestnuts. It's
really good to have him back. Now let's get to
Mike Kelly, Award winning columnist for North Jersey dot Com
(02:09):
and The Record. Good morning, Mike.
Speaker 7 (02:12):
Good morning Larry. How are you.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I'm doing well. I'm so glad you're dealing with this
because I know you're specifically talking about Seaside Heights and
the boardwalk there. Sure, but this is a problem that's
been happening up and down the coastline of New Jersey
and wild Wood and Ocean City and Seaside Heights about
police having to deal with fights on the boardwalk. I
(02:35):
don't remember that ever, happening when I was growing up,
But for the last couple of years it's been a
real problem. First of all, as you've been writing about this,
do we know why this is all of a sudden
a problem.
Speaker 7 (02:51):
I think it's a couple of things going on here.
I think it's I think it's you know, there is
some possibly gang related kind of stuff. People go down there,
they start in selting each other, and then you know,
as we saw on Memorial Day weekend, there was a
large fight and stabbings occurred. Now, let me ask you
this question here, Larry, you're in your bathing suit. You're
(03:13):
in your bathing suit. Okay, maybe you got the flip
flops on. How do you carry a knife in your
bathing suit to the beach? How do you do that?
This to me is I guess only in New Jersey
do we bring knives to the beach in our bathing suits.
I'm not sure, you know.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Listen.
Speaker 7 (03:31):
I don't want to make light of it, but it's
a really serious problem. It's particularly serious for these small
towns that have police departments that are not that large.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
No, I understand most of these fights do happen at night,
right on the boardwalks. Now, I mean, I know there's
some altercations on the beach, but most of these are
happening on the boardwalk late at night, and they are
they're horrible. I mean, I've had kids that I know
are friends of my sons that have seen them and
(04:00):
they're they're awful. And you're right, there are weapons, and
most of these police officers, as you pointed out, are
just like rennekops. They're kids that are police officers just
for the summer. So how do you deal with this?
Speaker 7 (04:16):
Well, the Seaside Heights has enacted some fairly stringent rules.
They're closing the boardwalk at midnight, there's a there's a
curfew for anybody under eighteen at ten pm. And then
they're doing some other stuff like you know, they're they're
prohibiting electric bicycles on the boardwalk and that sort of thing,
all of which can get, you know, get people into trouble.
(04:38):
But what I think is what I think is going
on there is just the crowds are too big and
people start pushing each other, and then there's some music
going on and one person gets a little drunk, and
one thing leads to another, and pretty soon you have
this this this. You know, it's basically like somebody lit
a spark on one end and all of a sudden
it becomes a major bomfire action.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Arelly on a couple of weeks ago, and I asked him,
right now, what are you centering on. What's the what's
the big issue? And he said, these fights at the boardwalk.
First thing he said, He said, we have to see these. Yeah,
I'm sure it just one just happened. I'm sure he
has other things he's concerned about, like, uh, you know,
property taxes and all that kind of stuff. But he
(05:20):
decided at that moment, which I thought was smart, to
focus on that. And I said, what would you do
about it? And one of the things he said. I
don't remember everything he said, but one of the things
he said is to charge these kids as adults if
they get into a fight on the boardwalk.
Speaker 7 (05:37):
I know he's got he's got a point. I think
his his base of support, if if he runs strong
in this election, is going to be the shore communities.
Uh he's you know that that is that is where
you get some of your more conservative voters.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (05:57):
That when we talk about Trump near winning New Jersey
in the election last November. He got enormous support in
Ocean County and that's that those areas down on the shore.
So I'm not surprised that Jack Chitdarelli is, you know,
trying to appeal to voters down there. What I think
(06:17):
is interesting on his part, however, is that he's taking
a real roll up your sleeves, hands on approach. That
seems to be his approach to his campaign, and I
think it's going to be interesting to see how that
works as we play through the coming months, you know,
into November.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, the new poll that's out. When I saw that,
at first, I was stunned by it, and I want
you to comment on it before I get because because
I was stunned by it at first, and then I thought, oh,
well maybe this makes sense, but what did you think
of it?
Speaker 7 (06:49):
So I was stunned, quite frankly, Larry, I mean, Mikey
Cheryl at fifty one percent and Jack Chitderelli at thirty
one percent. You know, and this is from the Rutgers
Eagleton Polls, pretty respected polling organization. To their credit, in
the head of the poll, Ashley Koning, who is very respected,
(07:11):
said listen, this is just a barometer right now. It's
not an indication of how things are going to be
in November. And of course history has shown us that
things do change, you know, come as we get closer
to the election. You know, just to remind everyone everyone,
Phil Murphy had a get this seventy two percent to
(07:33):
twenty eight percent lead over Jack Chittarelli in his own
internal polls. In the last election. Of course, Chaddarelli lost
by only three percentage points, fifty one to forty eight.
So I think things are going to tighten up. But
what I think Chattarelli has to worry about is that
(07:55):
Mikey Cheryl polled above him on such things as the
econon how she would handle the economy, jobs, the state budget,
that sort of thing, And I think he has a
lot of work to do to convince voters that he's
the guy. I mean, Mikey Cheryl, she's sort of the
flavor of the week right now. She's got a lot
(08:15):
going for her. She's a very good speaker, she has
a fascinating background. She was a Navy helicopter pilot, she
was a federal prosecutor. So she's not This isnt Zohan
Mandami running in New Jersey, Okay as a Democrat. This
is a fairly moderate Democrat running with her feet on
(08:36):
the ground, and she has a big lead right now,
very appealing to I think a lot of voters. I
think Chattarelli has his work cut out for him.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, I do too. But it's funny that I was
going to say almost the exact same thing about the
polling last time, but I didn't want to steal your thunder.
But you're absolutely right. The polling was way off last time.
He was twelve points down pretty close to the election,
and it was only three points. So I think. I
think for some reason, the polling is off a lot
(09:06):
in New Jersey, and I don't know why. I don't
know why New Jersey is so difficult to pull because
this has happened a couple of times now.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
Yeah, I think you know, Larry, I think voters are tired.
This is just my purely gut reaction to this, so
you can take it or leave it. I think voters
are tired of polls.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
I really do.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
And and if you've ever been called by a polling organization,
you get these strange questions. And I think the people
who have the patience to put up with that perhaps
don't really reflect average life in New Jersey. And I
know pollsters will say, oh we we we use techniques
(09:48):
which try to get you know, your average person and
that sort of thing and weed out some of the cranks.
But I think I think people are tired of this
and and and as time goes go on, I think
we're gonna see. First of all, we're gonna see these
polls narrow, but secondarily, I think we're gonna be surprised
at the results are I do. I don't know if
(10:09):
Jack Chaddarelli will win, but I think things are going
to tighten up quite a bit.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Unfortunately, a lot depends on what Donald Trump does because
he's now tied to him. Mike Kelly is an award
winning columnist for North Jersey dot Com and The Record.
Thanks a lot, Mike will talk again next week.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yep, thank you, Larry. Take care well.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
We lost a great actor over the holiday weekend. Michael
Mattson started in more than a half of the Quentin
Tarantino movies, and in one of those movies he ruined
one of my favorite songs for me. We'll talk about
it next. Plus you can win tickets to see the
Steve Miller Band at A twenty five. So stay with
us well. We always appreciate your talkbacks and you can
(10:48):
leave us a talk back all morning long. Just go
to seven to ten wo R on the iHeartRadio app
and you click the microphone. You could win a limited
edition MENTI in the Morning t shirt which will be
awarded each day to our favorite talkback of the morning.
Plus listen to this this is new. The talkback of
the Week will be awarded on Friday. A sea crane radio.
(11:13):
Sea crane radios that work when it matters most. I'm
so happy they're partnering with us. I have sea crane
radios at my house and during the last power outage,
not only did I have a radio, but they charge
my phone and it comes with a flashlight and it's
solar powered so it never goes out. It's a must
have in an emergency. I'll talk more about that coming up.
(11:35):
Let's get to your talkback back.
Speaker 9 (11:37):
In our day, we had giant clubs to go to
on a Jersey short a penalty box and Wildwood. Up
by me and Mama's County was the Royal Manor Art Stock.
We had the Jimmy Burn Seagert In we had to
park a house. We had big venues where hundreds of
people could go and party. Yes, there were fights, but
they were contained inside a building usually a cops are cold.
People were arrested, So that's one of the issues I
(11:58):
think that's happened there.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yeah, there's no places that's a great point. No place
to go, that's a great point. So they're all out
on the boardwalk together. And when you put young men
on the boardwalk together in groups, there's gonna be some
problems sometimes.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yeah, you know, I actually have some relatives that are
in that age erne that go to the boardwalk in
Seaside and you know, they won't even let them use
the bathrooms. Really, I had one relative. It was a
young woman. She didn't have her idea with her because
she was over eighteen, and they said, sorry, can't use
(12:37):
the bathroom at night, you know, like you probably it
was right around curfew time, and there's like, oh my gosh,
but I have to go. Nope, you eighteen, I don't
have my idea. I me can't go in.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Oh my gosh, that's getting silly that that just borders
on ridiculous. But I just don't think they know what
to do. I really don't think they know it.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
So I start when I heard this, I started looking
at the drinking ages also, so drinking age before I
can before the seventies was twenty one, then it got lowered,
and then back in the eighties it went up against
So there was this ten year span probably when this
guy was talking about where kids could go into the
clubs at eighteen and nineteen years old.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Right, yeah, I actually think he was talking about the
fact that they even he's talking about clubs, and you're right,
they can't go in. And there was a time when
everybody would go to New Jersey because of the drinking age.
But I think he's talking about places for these kids
to go, and that is one of the big major
problems is they have nowhere to go, and then they
(13:35):
go to the boardwalk. I also think the population on
the boardwalk has changed, and you do have rival groups
that are going at each other, and that's one of
the biggest problems. I do want to get to Michael Mattson,
and you know, Michael Matson is one of those actors
that everybody kind of knows and they realize how good
(13:57):
he is, but he never seems to be the star.
He was in half the Quentin Tarantino movies he's done eleven.
He was in five of them. But his big breakout role,
if you remember, was in Reservoir Dogs. When he played
he had one scene where he was torturing a cop.
(14:21):
He ended up cutting off his ear and he played
a song while he was doing it and dancing, and
it just I love the song Steeler's Wheels Stuck in
the Middle with You, and it really ruined it for
me because it was such a compelling scene. Every time
I hear the song, I think of this horrific Reservoir
(14:42):
Dogs scene trying to scream as Mattson is cutting him
with his knife. Just horrible. Now, think of the range
of this guy. He starred in as awful characters in
all of these Quentin Tarantino movies. Then he was in
Free Willie as the dad in Free Willie. And the
(15:03):
funny thing is when he was interviewed for it, they
said to him, we need somebody a little bit edgy,
and he started to think, Oh my god, what do
they want me to do? What did they see Reservoir Dogs?
What's going to happen? So he finally talked to the
director about it.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
And I said, I'm not gonna hurt William and she
goes no. And I said, I don't want any bed
sees with the kid. I don't want to hurt kids.
And she goes no, Michael, my God, nothing like that's
going to happen. And I said, okay, all right, so
this should be fun though.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Yeah, he was so concerned that he had a bad
reputation that in Free Willie he thought he was gonna
kill the way. Yeah, it does. I mean, I guess
it makes sense if you don't see the script. But anyway,
Michael Matt's in dead of a heart attack at the
early age of sixty seven, and he is being remembered
(15:57):
all over today and rightfully. So now let's get the
new Who's at seven point thirty with Jacqueline Carl Jacklin.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Good morning.
Speaker 6 (16:03):
As severe flooding continues to impact central Texas, a camp
where multiple people are still unaccounted for says the search
will continue. Camp Mystic said in a statement late Sunday
that is continuing to work with local and state authorities
in search for at least ten missing girls. Flash flooding
has killed at least eighty people across Central Texas, and
(16:23):
a new poll shows Democratic Socialist Zorhan Mom Donnie ahead
over Andrew Cuomo, Eric Adams and Curtis Leva and the
New York City mayor's.
Speaker 10 (16:32):
Race, Mam Donnie would get forty one percent of the vote.
In a theoretical general election involving the four candidates. Cuomo
gets twenty six percent, while Mayor Eric Adams only gets
sixteen percent. Sleewah is under ten percent. Both Cuomo and
Adams are listed as independents. Stephen Graves of Gotham Polling
and Analytics tells The New York Post Mam Donnie is
(16:52):
benefiting from a fractured moderate vote split among the three
other candidates. I'm scappringle wr news.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
So I think most of snow waiting tables is hard
and often thankless work, and many servers have their complaints,
but this, to me is a new one. A server
named Gina has put out a TikTok round begging future
customers to stop asking for water. She says, not only
is it extra work to bring a separate tray of
waters to that table of eight that just ordered their
(17:20):
cokes with waters on the side, but Gina has noticed
most of the water are never touched, so on behalf
of servers everywhere. Gina implores you to trust her to
be on top of those coke refills, so quit ordering water.
I guess Gina is not what you would call a
health nut or.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Gina that's ridiculous. Gina should be fired.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Well, I get that, Like she's probably sick of bringing over.
Like everybody orders their drinks and says, oh and water,
and she brings them over and then no one drinks
the water.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
And it's just you know.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Remember when they used to always get water even without asking. Yeah,
they usually ask, which I think is great because if
you don't water, I don't need it on the table,
you know, taking up space.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
But you know, if I want my water now, Gina
says no, She'll refill your coke.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
But just don't believe whatever you do. Gina is like
looking at how much water I drink. She scold people
at the end.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
Gina has a keen eye and she just feels that
they're not drinking the water. Stop asking for the water.
No water, Just take your coke refills and be happy if.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
You don't finish your food.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Does she get upset about that.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
Hey, when I was little, I used to get worried
that the waiter was gonna get mad if I didn't
finish my food.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Like your parents were. That's adorable, actually to worry about it.
If we have any servers out there, let us know
how you feel about giving them water.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Yes, I'd love to hear. I'm sure they have no
problem with it. And that Gina is her name, is
an out is an outlier, of course, it's Gina Water.
Wolf is up next and he wants to talk about
the Mets, the Yankees, and Alligator Ali. The legendary sportscaster
explains that next. In a new episode of On Purpose,
(19:10):
Jay Shetty sits down with award winning actress and singer
Cynthia Cynthia Arrivo for a raw and inspiring conversation. Cynthia
talks about her world win year, filming back to back movies,
performing at the Oscars, and pouring her soul into her
deeply personal new album. Open the iHeartRadio app and search
(19:32):
for On Purpose with Jay Shetty to listen today. And
now it's time for the legendary sportscaster Warner Wolf, and
he's going to start with the with baseball right winter.
Speaker 8 (19:43):
Yeah, you got it, Larry. You know, I'm thinking if
the Mets and or Yankees lose the division by one game, man,
you can blame it on the two managers, Carlos Mendoza
and Aaron Boone. Last week, Mendoza took out Clay Holmes
with a two to one lead in the sixth inning,
allowing only three hits, and the fans, who could care
(20:06):
less about that pitch count booed Mendoza when he came
out to remove the pitcher in a Met's loss, and
Boone did the same thing, taking out Carlos Rodon with
a three to one lead to begin the sixth and
the Yanks lost five to four. When will these guys
realize it's not the pitch count? What's the score? And
(20:29):
how's he doing? Meanwhile, is Boone having amnesia? Two days
after the quick hook with Rodan, he watched his starting pitcher,
will Warren give up no less than ten hits and
eight runs and four walks before taking him out? The
question is when did Boone finally realize that Warren didn't
(20:53):
have it? Oh, now here's an interesting thing I didn't
know about the Do you know that the official betters
can bet on each pitch of every Major League game
whether the pitch will be a ball or a strike.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Never heard that, but yeah, I never heard that, But
it makes complete sense.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
Yes, it's at a hand so Cleveland right handed Luis
or Tease. He's been placed on leave because he's being
investigated for two pitches. He threw one against Seattle and
one against the Cardinals. The two pitches in question came
(21:37):
on the first pitch of two separate innings. In other words,
the betters can say, well, I'll bet the first pitch
is a ball, or I'll bet the first pitch is
a strike. Well, you're taking a chance with a strike
because you don't know what you know, the umpire can say,
well a strike or b but a ball. So you
(21:57):
know what our teas did. Well, both pitches, he threw
the ball so far outside. One of them bounced in
the dirt and the other one hit the backstop. And
the investigators noticed that in both instances they have guys
investigating this, that the betting went up considerably on the balls.
(22:23):
In other words, they said the first pitch would be
a ball. So, in other words, if the betters knew
it advanced. The first pitch was going to be a
ball they could clean up. Man, this is I don't
like this. The betting is just so far out of hand.
You know, Pete Rose has to be rolling over in
(22:45):
his grin.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Absolutely. And by the way, don't these guys make enough money?
Speaker 8 (22:51):
Yes, yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, but I'm not
you know you you could be talking about millions bet
on each pitch. Guys are involved. Oh, the bull of
the week has to go to the NFL. They have
defined this category called a hurry, a hurry for the
(23:12):
defensive player. If a defensive player disrupts a quarterback's pass attempt,
causing the quarterback to change his intended action like throwing
sooner than he had planned or scrambling, then it's called
a hurry. But the question is, unless the official scorer
(23:34):
knows the play, how does he know it just wasn't
a bad pass or the receiver ran the wrong route right.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
This is a cover for a draft pick that hasn't
panned out and gotten the sacks that he was supposed
to get. I remember this happening with several guys that
came up that seemed like embarrassments that the team said yeah,
but did you notice how they hurry the quarterback of
who cares?
Speaker 8 (24:03):
You know what I say forget the hurry in a hurry?
That was all right, here we go. It's time now
for the three stooges. All right. Stage number one has
to be the useless and outdated United Nations. Last week,
Iran told the UN Nuclear Watchdog Inspection Committee to get lost,
(24:27):
and they will shut out any international inspector from overseeing
their nuclear program. Did the UN do anything No, Instead,
they just give Iran more time to build up whatever
they want. The only thing the UN is good for
is taking up parking spaces on First Avenue. It deserves
(24:52):
a belt stuge number two base Oh, this is bad.
Bat Ball commissioner Rob Manfred, who obviously doesn't know history.
He compared the free agent players who can walk around
and sign anytime after the World Series to the infamous
(25:14):
nineteen forty two World War two Batan Death March. Now
fifteen thousand US and Philippine troops were forced to walk
around eighty miles without food or water and were baneaded
to death if they were too weak. To compare any
(25:35):
form of baseball with the Btan Death march is inexcusable
a commissioner, go read a history book, will you? Goodness? Gracious?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yeah, it's ignorant.
Speaker 8 (25:50):
Oh at steoge number three House Minority leader Tim Jeffrey,
he broke the record for the longest and most boring
house speech ever delivered eight hours forty four minutes. Hey, akeem,
either speed up your painstaking slow delivery which had almost
(26:14):
as many pauses as words, or how about play some
fast background music and keep the people awake. Nobody wants
to hear you drone on.
Speaker 9 (26:29):
Nobody a little singing, a good voice.
Speaker 8 (26:37):
Yeah. Now this day in sports, In fact, it was
seventy seven years ago today, July seventh, nineteen forty eight.
The Cleveland Indians, who would win the World Series that year,
signed forty two year old Leroy Satchel Page from the
Negro League. He became the oldest rookie in Major League
(26:58):
history and the first African American ever to pitch in
a World Series. He went six and won that year.
I once asked Page, who pitched in over four hundred
games in the Negro Leagues and Major Leagues, about starting
pitches and pitchers of today.
Speaker 11 (27:20):
I didn't never heard of a relief pitch until nineteen
forty eight, until I got with Cleveland. When I come along,
it wasn't no such a thing as a relief pitcher.
We had pictures that could go all away.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
Yeah, so you know, he once said he has had
great sayings. He once said age is a question of
mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
That's great water Wolf, the Great water Wolf. Thanks so much, Water.
Talk to you again next week. Trump is done making
phone calls to make a deal. He's sending take it
or leave it letters to count trees offering tariff deals.
Rory O'Neil talks about that next Well, the deadline for
the tariffs are upon us, and Donald Trump has decided
(28:11):
he is not going to negotiate face to face or
even by phone or anything sending an envoy anymore. He's
just going to send out letters. Let's get the latest
on that from Rory O'Neil wor National Correspondent. So this
is a take it or leave.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
It letter, that's what they're calling it. These letters are
going out to twelve different countries. We don't know which
countries yet, but they're getting a letter essentially telling them
what the new tariff policy is going to be The
President also said in a post on truth Social that
any country that does looks favorably on those bricks nations Brazil, Russia, China,
(28:53):
they'll get an extra ten percent tariff on goods that
they try to sell in the US. So we're back
to focusing on these trade deals again. He set that
ninth deadline. Let's see what happens in these next few days.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
So what is he hoping will happen. What is the
point of this exactly?
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Well, he thinks that look, he has said many times
that tariff is his favorite word, right. He thinks that
the American consumer has been getting ripped off and that
it's been hurting our domestic economy. He thinks that by
imposing tariffs, more companies will shift their manufacturing back to
the US, make things domestically rather than pay the import tax.
But you know, it's a bit of a wait and see.
(29:34):
You know, if it's like we saw it in Vietnam
at twenty percent tax on what they sell us from Vietnam,
you know, twenty percent when you're talking about clothing in particular,
that's not enough to make you move your manufacturing plan here, right,
So we'll see if companies want to follow through on this,
but we'll also see if there is a pushback to
(29:55):
some of these final notices going out today.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
It'll be fascinating. I know you're but also covering the
Jeffrey Epstein files as well, and that has been really
fascinating because every time they release something, it's disappointing. And
now is it true that there's not even a client list?
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Right, That's what was first reported by Axios yesterday that
they said there is no client list, and they've determined
that Jeffrey Epstein did commit suicide. They say it was
not murder. They've released some videotape from the prison that
shows no one going in or out of Epstein's cell,
at least in that area. So look, and this is
(30:38):
what the FBI director Cash Mattel and is number two
Dan Bongino, two guys that two years ago would have
been really feeding into all these conspiracy theories, but now
say there's nothing to it, there's no client list, and
there was no murder. It was a suicide.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Yeah, you know what I want to find out. And
all of this, of course is going to conspiracy theorists.
They're gonna go nuts because all of this is really
really suspicious. But do you remember when they rated his
home in Manhattan, his home and office in Manhattan, and
they came out of there with tons of videotapes, right
where are they?
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Well, we heard Attorney General Pam Bondi say that there
were thousands of tapes child pornography on the tapes. I mean,
she has acknowledged that they exist, but she also wanted
to make sure that if people on those videos were
young girls under age, she didn't want their images to
be released either. But if Epstein was guilty of that,
(31:37):
then now that he's dead, there's really nothing to prosecute.
So this would suggest that it was just Epstein and
the underage girls in the videos. No one else was involved,
because according to the memo that's going out, it's actually
this is case closed. Don't look for any other prosecutions
as a result of the Epstein files.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Wait a second, I thought the entire point of doing
these videotapes was they could use them as blackmail, and
so I don't understand that Epstein.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Is the only thing that there was no evidence that
la Epstein was using the videos or his black book
in order to blackmail anyone do.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
I don't think anybody buys any of this. I mean,
I don't know who there. It sounds like they're trying
to protect some people, that's for sure, because we were
told all of this stuff in the past. There was
a client list. There of course, was a list of
people on the plane. There were videotapes of all these people.
And now all of a sudden, no, that's no longer true.
(32:32):
It is bizarre.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Yeah, Congresswoman Anna Polina Luna is saying this is not
what we or the American people asked for, in a
complete disappointment, get us the information we asked for, was
her post on X.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
I'm sure there's some important people making phone calls to
the White House to make this go away. Rory O'Neil,
wr National correspondent, thanks.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
So much, Thanks, Larry.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Thought to you next week. The Supreme Court is on
a roll. That's according to Ariy Hoffman from the New
York Sun, and he'll explain next that's coming up after
the eight o'clock news
Just a horrific story out of central Texas, death and
destruction in Kerrville in the wake of a once in
a century flood.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
People have die, kids have died.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
We're still finding people out here.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
We have to rebuild because what else do we have
about here? We have nothing.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Literally, over eighty are dead, several are missing, including twelve children.
Jim Ryan is in Texas covering the flooding. We're going
to talk with him at nine oh five. Well, the
Big Beautiful Bill is now law, and after all the
fear mongering by the Democrats, it passed by several votes.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
On this vote, the yaser two hundred and fifteen, the
nayser two hundred and fourteen, with one answering present, the
bill is passed.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
And then, so, after getting his bill passed, let's say
Donald Trump said he'll do everything he can to prevent
Zorin Mamdani from becoming mayor of New York City.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
As president of the United States, I'm proclaiming here and
now that America is never going to be communist in
any way shape form, and that intrudes New York City.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Well, we just talked to Jordana Miller about this. In Israel,
there is great hope for a ceasefire with a moss
that would release ten living hostages and the bodies of
eighteen others, including two Americans.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
A ceasfire means choosing life.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
And at the Coney Island Hot Dog eating Contest, everything
old is new again.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Champion of the world Joey Chestnut.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Joey Chestnut seventy hot dogs in ten minutes. He didn't
get the world record, which he holds, but that is
his seventeenth Mustard Yellow Belt, which is what they give
out to the winners. So congratulations to Joey Chestnuts. It's
really good to have him back. Now let's get to
Mike Kelly, Award winning columnist for North Jersey dot Com
(02:09):
and The Record. Good morning, Mike.
Speaker 7 (02:12):
Good morning Larry. How are you.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I'm doing well. I'm so glad you're dealing with this
because I know you're specifically talking about Seaside Heights and
the boardwalk there. Sure, but this is a problem that's
been happening up and down the coastline of New Jersey
and wild Wood and Ocean City and Seaside Heights about
police having to deal with fights on the boardwalk. I
(02:35):
don't remember that ever, happening when I was growing up,
But for the last couple of years it's been a
real problem. First of all, as you've been writing about this,
do we know why this is all of a sudden
a problem.
Speaker 7 (02:51):
I think it's a couple of things going on here.
I think it's I think it's you know, there is
some possibly gang related kind of stuff. People go down there,
they start in selting each other, and then you know,
as we saw on Memorial Day weekend, there was a
large fight and stabbings occurred. Now, let me ask you
this question here, Larry, you're in your bathing suit. You're
(03:13):
in your bathing suit. Okay, maybe you got the flip
flops on. How do you carry a knife in your
bathing suit to the beach? How do you do that?
This to me is I guess only in New Jersey
do we bring knives to the beach in our bathing suits.
I'm not sure, you know.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Listen.
Speaker 7 (03:31):
I don't want to make light of it, but it's
a really serious problem. It's particularly serious for these small
towns that have police departments that are not that large.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
No, I understand most of these fights do happen at night,
right on the boardwalks. Now, I mean, I know there's
some altercations on the beach, but most of these are
happening on the boardwalk late at night, and they are
they're horrible. I mean, I've had kids that I know
are friends of my sons that have seen them and
(04:00):
they're they're awful. And you're right, there are weapons, and
most of these police officers, as you pointed out, are
just like rennekops. They're kids that are police officers just
for the summer. So how do you deal with this?
Speaker 7 (04:16):
Well, the Seaside Heights has enacted some fairly stringent rules.
They're closing the boardwalk at midnight, there's a there's a
curfew for anybody under eighteen at ten pm. And then
they're doing some other stuff like you know, they're they're
prohibiting electric bicycles on the boardwalk and that sort of thing,
all of which can get, you know, get people into trouble.
(04:38):
But what I think is what I think is going
on there is just the crowds are too big and
people start pushing each other, and then there's some music
going on and one person gets a little drunk, and
one thing leads to another, and pretty soon you have
this this this. You know, it's basically like somebody lit
a spark on one end and all of a sudden
it becomes a major bomfire action.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Arelly on a couple of weeks ago, and I asked him,
right now, what are you centering on. What's the what's
the big issue? And he said, these fights at the boardwalk.
First thing he said, He said, we have to see these. Yeah,
I'm sure it just one just happened. I'm sure he
has other things he's concerned about, like, uh, you know,
property taxes and all that kind of stuff. But he
(05:20):
decided at that moment, which I thought was smart, to
focus on that. And I said, what would you do
about it? And one of the things he said. I
don't remember everything he said, but one of the things
he said is to charge these kids as adults if
they get into a fight on the boardwalk.
Speaker 7 (05:37):
I know he's got he's got a point. I think
his his base of support, if if he runs strong
in this election, is going to be the shore communities.
Uh he's you know that that is that is where
you get some of your more conservative voters.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (05:57):
That when we talk about Trump near winning New Jersey
in the election last November. He got enormous support in
Ocean County and that's that those areas down on the shore.
So I'm not surprised that Jack Chitdarelli is, you know,
trying to appeal to voters down there. What I think
(06:17):
is interesting on his part, however, is that he's taking
a real roll up your sleeves, hands on approach. That
seems to be his approach to his campaign, and I
think it's going to be interesting to see how that
works as we play through the coming months, you know,
into November.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, the new poll that's out. When I saw that,
at first, I was stunned by it, and I want
you to comment on it before I get because because
I was stunned by it at first, and then I thought, oh,
well maybe this makes sense, but what did you think
of it?
Speaker 7 (06:49):
So I was stunned, quite frankly, Larry, I mean, Mikey
Cheryl at fifty one percent and Jack Chitderelli at thirty
one percent. You know, and this is from the Rutgers
Eagleton Polls, pretty respected polling organization. To their credit, in
the head of the poll, Ashley Koning, who is very respected,
(07:11):
said listen, this is just a barometer right now. It's
not an indication of how things are going to be
in November. And of course history has shown us that
things do change, you know, come as we get closer
to the election. You know, just to remind everyone everyone,
Phil Murphy had a get this seventy two percent to
(07:33):
twenty eight percent lead over Jack Chittarelli in his own
internal polls. In the last election. Of course, Chaddarelli lost
by only three percentage points, fifty one to forty eight.
So I think things are going to tighten up. But
what I think Chattarelli has to worry about is that
(07:55):
Mikey Cheryl polled above him on such things as the
econon how she would handle the economy, jobs, the state budget,
that sort of thing, And I think he has a
lot of work to do to convince voters that he's
the guy. I mean, Mikey Cheryl, she's sort of the
flavor of the week right now. She's got a lot
(08:15):
going for her. She's a very good speaker, she has
a fascinating background. She was a Navy helicopter pilot, she
was a federal prosecutor. So she's not This isnt Zohan
Mandami running in New Jersey, Okay as a Democrat. This
is a fairly moderate Democrat running with her feet on
(08:36):
the ground, and she has a big lead right now,
very appealing to I think a lot of voters. I
think Chattarelli has his work cut out for him.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, I do too. But it's funny that I was
going to say almost the exact same thing about the
polling last time, but I didn't want to steal your thunder.
But you're absolutely right. The polling was way off last time.
He was twelve points down pretty close to the election,
and it was only three points. So I think. I
think for some reason, the polling is off a lot
(09:06):
in New Jersey, and I don't know why. I don't
know why New Jersey is so difficult to pull because
this has happened a couple of times now.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
Yeah, I think you know, Larry, I think voters are tired.
This is just my purely gut reaction to this, so
you can take it or leave it. I think voters
are tired of polls.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
I really do.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
And and if you've ever been called by a polling organization,
you get these strange questions. And I think the people
who have the patience to put up with that perhaps
don't really reflect average life in New Jersey. And I
know pollsters will say, oh we we we use techniques
(09:48):
which try to get you know, your average person and
that sort of thing and weed out some of the cranks.
But I think I think people are tired of this
and and and as time goes go on, I think
we're gonna see. First of all, we're gonna see these
polls narrow, but secondarily, I think we're gonna be surprised
at the results are I do. I don't know if
(10:09):
Jack Chaddarelli will win, but I think things are going
to tighten up quite a bit.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Unfortunately, a lot depends on what Donald Trump does because
he's now tied to him. Mike Kelly is an award
winning columnist for North Jersey dot Com and The Record.
Thanks a lot, Mike will talk again next week.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yep, thank you, Larry. Take care well.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
We lost a great actor over the holiday weekend. Michael
Mattson started in more than a half of the Quentin
Tarantino movies, and in one of those movies he ruined
one of my favorite songs for me. We'll talk about
it next. Plus you can win tickets to see the
Steve Miller Band at A twenty five. So stay with
us well. We always appreciate your talkbacks and you can
(10:48):
leave us a talk back all morning long. Just go
to seven to ten wo R on the iHeartRadio app
and you click the microphone. You could win a limited
edition MENTI in the Morning t shirt which will be
awarded each day to our favorite talkback of the morning.
Plus listen to this this is new. The talkback of
the Week will be awarded on Friday. A sea crane radio.
(11:13):
Sea crane radios that work when it matters most. I'm
so happy they're partnering with us. I have sea crane
radios at my house and during the last power outage,
not only did I have a radio, but they charge
my phone and it comes with a flashlight and it's
solar powered so it never goes out. It's a must
have in an emergency. I'll talk more about that coming up.
(11:35):
Let's get to your talkback back.
Speaker 9 (11:37):
In our day, we had giant clubs to go to
on a Jersey short a penalty box and Wildwood. Up
by me and Mama's County was the Royal Manor Art Stock.
We had the Jimmy Burn Seagert In we had to
park a house. We had big venues where hundreds of
people could go and party. Yes, there were fights, but
they were contained inside a building usually a cops are cold.
People were arrested, So that's one of the issues I
(11:58):
think that's happened there.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yeah, there's no places that's a great point. No place
to go, that's a great point. So they're all out
on the boardwalk together. And when you put young men
on the boardwalk together in groups, there's gonna be some
problems sometimes.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yeah, you know, I actually have some relatives that are
in that age erne that go to the boardwalk in
Seaside and you know, they won't even let them use
the bathrooms. Really, I had one relative. It was a
young woman. She didn't have her idea with her because
she was over eighteen, and they said, sorry, can't use
(12:37):
the bathroom at night, you know, like you probably it
was right around curfew time, and there's like, oh my gosh,
but I have to go. Nope, you eighteen, I don't
have my idea. I me can't go in.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Oh my gosh, that's getting silly that that just borders
on ridiculous. But I just don't think they know what
to do. I really don't think they know it.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
So I start when I heard this, I started looking
at the drinking ages also, so drinking age before I
can before the seventies was twenty one, then it got lowered,
and then back in the eighties it went up against
So there was this ten year span probably when this
guy was talking about where kids could go into the
clubs at eighteen and nineteen years old.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Right, yeah, I actually think he was talking about the
fact that they even he's talking about clubs, and you're right,
they can't go in. And there was a time when
everybody would go to New Jersey because of the drinking age.
But I think he's talking about places for these kids
to go, and that is one of the big major
problems is they have nowhere to go, and then they
(13:35):
go to the boardwalk. I also think the population on
the boardwalk has changed, and you do have rival groups
that are going at each other, and that's one of
the biggest problems. I do want to get to Michael Mattson,
and you know, Michael Matson is one of those actors
that everybody kind of knows and they realize how good
(13:57):
he is, but he never seems to be the star.
He was in half the Quentin Tarantino movies he's done eleven.
He was in five of them. But his big breakout role,
if you remember, was in Reservoir Dogs. When he played
he had one scene where he was torturing a cop.
(14:21):
He ended up cutting off his ear and he played
a song while he was doing it and dancing, and
it just I love the song Steeler's Wheels Stuck in
the Middle with You, and it really ruined it for
me because it was such a compelling scene. Every time
I hear the song, I think of this horrific Reservoir
(14:42):
Dogs scene trying to scream as Mattson is cutting him
with his knife. Just horrible. Now, think of the range
of this guy. He starred in as awful characters in
all of these Quentin Tarantino movies. Then he was in
Free Willie as the dad in Free Willie. And the
(15:03):
funny thing is when he was interviewed for it, they
said to him, we need somebody a little bit edgy,
and he started to think, Oh my god, what do
they want me to do? What did they see Reservoir Dogs?
What's going to happen? So he finally talked to the
director about it.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
And I said, I'm not gonna hurt William and she
goes no. And I said, I don't want any bed
sees with the kid. I don't want to hurt kids.
And she goes no, Michael, my God, nothing like that's
going to happen. And I said, okay, all right, so
this should be fun though.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Yeah, he was so concerned that he had a bad
reputation that in Free Willie he thought he was gonna
kill the way. Yeah, it does. I mean, I guess
it makes sense if you don't see the script. But anyway,
Michael Matt's in dead of a heart attack at the
early age of sixty seven, and he is being remembered
(15:57):
all over today and rightfully. So now let's get the
new Who's at seven point thirty with Jacqueline Carl Jacklin.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Good morning.
Speaker 6 (16:03):
As severe flooding continues to impact central Texas, a camp
where multiple people are still unaccounted for says the search
will continue. Camp Mystic said in a statement late Sunday
that is continuing to work with local and state authorities
in search for at least ten missing girls. Flash flooding
has killed at least eighty people across Central Texas, and
(16:23):
a new poll shows Democratic Socialist Zorhan Mom Donnie ahead
over Andrew Cuomo, Eric Adams and Curtis Leva and the
New York City mayor's.
Speaker 10 (16:32):
Race, Mam Donnie would get forty one percent of the vote.
In a theoretical general election involving the four candidates. Cuomo
gets twenty six percent, while Mayor Eric Adams only gets
sixteen percent. Sleewah is under ten percent. Both Cuomo and
Adams are listed as independents. Stephen Graves of Gotham Polling
and Analytics tells The New York Post Mam Donnie is
(16:52):
benefiting from a fractured moderate vote split among the three
other candidates. I'm scappringle wr news.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
So I think most of snow waiting tables is hard
and often thankless work, and many servers have their complaints,
but this, to me is a new one. A server
named Gina has put out a TikTok round begging future
customers to stop asking for water. She says, not only
is it extra work to bring a separate tray of
waters to that table of eight that just ordered their
(17:20):
cokes with waters on the side, but Gina has noticed
most of the water are never touched, so on behalf
of servers everywhere. Gina implores you to trust her to
be on top of those coke refills, so quit ordering water.
I guess Gina is not what you would call a
health nut or.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Gina that's ridiculous. Gina should be fired.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Well, I get that, Like she's probably sick of bringing over.
Like everybody orders their drinks and says, oh and water,
and she brings them over and then no one drinks
the water.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
And it's just you know.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Remember when they used to always get water even without asking. Yeah,
they usually ask, which I think is great because if
you don't water, I don't need it on the table,
you know, taking up space.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
But you know, if I want my water now, Gina
says no, She'll refill your coke.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
But just don't believe whatever you do. Gina is like
looking at how much water I drink. She scold people
at the end.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
Gina has a keen eye and she just feels that
they're not drinking the water. Stop asking for the water.
No water, Just take your coke refills and be happy if.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
You don't finish your food.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Does she get upset about that.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
Hey, when I was little, I used to get worried
that the waiter was gonna get mad if I didn't
finish my food.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Like your parents were. That's adorable, actually to worry about it.
If we have any servers out there, let us know
how you feel about giving them water.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Yes, I'd love to hear. I'm sure they have no
problem with it. And that Gina is her name, is
an out is an outlier, of course, it's Gina Water.
Wolf is up next and he wants to talk about
the Mets, the Yankees, and Alligator Ali. The legendary sportscaster
explains that next. In a new episode of On Purpose,
(19:10):
Jay Shetty sits down with award winning actress and singer
Cynthia Cynthia Arrivo for a raw and inspiring conversation. Cynthia
talks about her world win year, filming back to back movies,
performing at the Oscars, and pouring her soul into her
deeply personal new album. Open the iHeartRadio app and search
(19:32):
for On Purpose with Jay Shetty to listen today. And
now it's time for the legendary sportscaster Warner Wolf, and
he's going to start with the with baseball right winter.
Speaker 8 (19:43):
Yeah, you got it, Larry. You know, I'm thinking if
the Mets and or Yankees lose the division by one game, man,
you can blame it on the two managers, Carlos Mendoza
and Aaron Boone. Last week, Mendoza took out Clay Holmes
with a two to one lead in the sixth inning,
allowing only three hits, and the fans, who could care
(20:06):
less about that pitch count booed Mendoza when he came
out to remove the pitcher in a Met's loss, and
Boone did the same thing, taking out Carlos Rodon with
a three to one lead to begin the sixth and
the Yanks lost five to four. When will these guys
realize it's not the pitch count? What's the score? And
(20:29):
how's he doing? Meanwhile, is Boone having amnesia? Two days
after the quick hook with Rodan, he watched his starting pitcher,
will Warren give up no less than ten hits and
eight runs and four walks before taking him out? The
question is when did Boone finally realize that Warren didn't
(20:53):
have it? Oh, now here's an interesting thing I didn't
know about the Do you know that the official betters
can bet on each pitch of every Major League game
whether the pitch will be a ball or a strike.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Never heard that, but yeah, I never heard that, But
it makes complete sense.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
Yes, it's at a hand so Cleveland right handed Luis
or Tease. He's been placed on leave because he's being
investigated for two pitches. He threw one against Seattle and
one against the Cardinals. The two pitches in question came
(21:37):
on the first pitch of two separate innings. In other words,
the betters can say, well, I'll bet the first pitch
is a ball, or I'll bet the first pitch is
a strike. Well, you're taking a chance with a strike
because you don't know what you know, the umpire can say,
well a strike or b but a ball. So you
(21:57):
know what our teas did. Well, both pitches, he threw
the ball so far outside. One of them bounced in
the dirt and the other one hit the backstop. And
the investigators noticed that in both instances they have guys
investigating this, that the betting went up considerably on the balls.
(22:23):
In other words, they said the first pitch would be
a ball. So, in other words, if the betters knew
it advanced. The first pitch was going to be a
ball they could clean up. Man, this is I don't
like this. The betting is just so far out of hand.
You know, Pete Rose has to be rolling over in
(22:45):
his grin.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Absolutely. And by the way, don't these guys make enough money?
Speaker 8 (22:51):
Yes, yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, but I'm not
you know you you could be talking about millions bet
on each pitch. Guys are involved. Oh, the bull of
the week has to go to the NFL. They have
defined this category called a hurry, a hurry for the
(23:12):
defensive player. If a defensive player disrupts a quarterback's pass attempt,
causing the quarterback to change his intended action like throwing
sooner than he had planned or scrambling, then it's called
a hurry. But the question is, unless the official scorer
(23:34):
knows the play, how does he know it just wasn't
a bad pass or the receiver ran the wrong route right.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
This is a cover for a draft pick that hasn't
panned out and gotten the sacks that he was supposed
to get. I remember this happening with several guys that
came up that seemed like embarrassments that the team said yeah,
but did you notice how they hurry the quarterback of
who cares?
Speaker 8 (24:03):
You know what I say forget the hurry in a hurry?
That was all right, here we go. It's time now
for the three stooges. All right. Stage number one has
to be the useless and outdated United Nations. Last week,
Iran told the UN Nuclear Watchdog Inspection Committee to get lost,
(24:27):
and they will shut out any international inspector from overseeing
their nuclear program. Did the UN do anything No, Instead,
they just give Iran more time to build up whatever
they want. The only thing the UN is good for
is taking up parking spaces on First Avenue. It deserves
(24:52):
a belt stuge number two base Oh, this is bad.
Bat Ball commissioner Rob Manfred, who obviously doesn't know history.
He compared the free agent players who can walk around
and sign anytime after the World Series to the infamous
(25:14):
nineteen forty two World War two Batan Death March. Now
fifteen thousand US and Philippine troops were forced to walk
around eighty miles without food or water and were baneaded
to death if they were too weak. To compare any
(25:35):
form of baseball with the Btan Death march is inexcusable
a commissioner, go read a history book, will you? Goodness? Gracious?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yeah, it's ignorant.
Speaker 8 (25:50):
Oh at steoge number three House Minority leader Tim Jeffrey,
he broke the record for the longest and most boring
house speech ever delivered eight hours forty four minutes. Hey, akeem,
either speed up your painstaking slow delivery which had almost
(26:14):
as many pauses as words, or how about play some
fast background music and keep the people awake. Nobody wants
to hear you drone on.
Speaker 9 (26:29):
Nobody a little singing, a good voice.
Speaker 8 (26:37):
Yeah. Now this day in sports, In fact, it was
seventy seven years ago today, July seventh, nineteen forty eight.
The Cleveland Indians, who would win the World Series that year,
signed forty two year old Leroy Satchel Page from the
Negro League. He became the oldest rookie in Major League
(26:58):
history and the first African American ever to pitch in
a World Series. He went six and won that year.
I once asked Page, who pitched in over four hundred
games in the Negro Leagues and Major Leagues, about starting
pitches and pitchers of today.
Speaker 11 (27:20):
I didn't never heard of a relief pitch until nineteen
forty eight, until I got with Cleveland. When I come along,
it wasn't no such a thing as a relief pitcher.
We had pictures that could go all away.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
Yeah, so you know, he once said he has had
great sayings. He once said age is a question of
mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
That's great water Wolf, the Great water Wolf. Thanks so much, Water.
Talk to you again next week. Trump is done making
phone calls to make a deal. He's sending take it
or leave it letters to count trees offering tariff deals.
Rory O'Neil talks about that next Well, the deadline for
the tariffs are upon us, and Donald Trump has decided
(28:11):
he is not going to negotiate face to face or
even by phone or anything sending an envoy anymore. He's
just going to send out letters. Let's get the latest
on that from Rory O'Neil wor National Correspondent. So this
is a take it or leave.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
It letter, that's what they're calling it. These letters are
going out to twelve different countries. We don't know which
countries yet, but they're getting a letter essentially telling them
what the new tariff policy is going to be The
President also said in a post on truth Social that
any country that does looks favorably on those bricks nations Brazil, Russia, China,
(28:53):
they'll get an extra ten percent tariff on goods that
they try to sell in the US. So we're back
to focusing on these trade deals again. He set that
ninth deadline. Let's see what happens in these next few days.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
So what is he hoping will happen. What is the
point of this exactly?
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Well, he thinks that look, he has said many times
that tariff is his favorite word, right. He thinks that
the American consumer has been getting ripped off and that
it's been hurting our domestic economy. He thinks that by
imposing tariffs, more companies will shift their manufacturing back to
the US, make things domestically rather than pay the import tax.
But you know, it's a bit of a wait and see.
(29:34):
You know, if it's like we saw it in Vietnam
at twenty percent tax on what they sell us from Vietnam,
you know, twenty percent when you're talking about clothing in particular,
that's not enough to make you move your manufacturing plan here, right,
So we'll see if companies want to follow through on this,
but we'll also see if there is a pushback to
(29:55):
some of these final notices going out today.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
It'll be fascinating. I know you're but also covering the
Jeffrey Epstein files as well, and that has been really
fascinating because every time they release something, it's disappointing. And
now is it true that there's not even a client list?
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Right, That's what was first reported by Axios yesterday that
they said there is no client list, and they've determined
that Jeffrey Epstein did commit suicide. They say it was
not murder. They've released some videotape from the prison that
shows no one going in or out of Epstein's cell,
at least in that area. So look, and this is
(30:38):
what the FBI director Cash Mattel and is number two
Dan Bongino, two guys that two years ago would have
been really feeding into all these conspiracy theories, but now
say there's nothing to it, there's no client list, and
there was no murder. It was a suicide.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Yeah, you know what I want to find out. And
all of this, of course is going to conspiracy theorists.
They're gonna go nuts because all of this is really
really suspicious. But do you remember when they rated his
home in Manhattan, his home and office in Manhattan, and
they came out of there with tons of videotapes, right
where are they?
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Well, we heard Attorney General Pam Bondi say that there
were thousands of tapes child pornography on the tapes. I mean,
she has acknowledged that they exist, but she also wanted
to make sure that if people on those videos were
young girls under age, she didn't want their images to
be released either. But if Epstein was guilty of that,
(31:37):
then now that he's dead, there's really nothing to prosecute.
So this would suggest that it was just Epstein and
the underage girls in the videos. No one else was involved,
because according to the memo that's going out, it's actually
this is case closed. Don't look for any other prosecutions
as a result of the Epstein files.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Wait a second, I thought the entire point of doing
these videotapes was they could use them as blackmail, and
so I don't understand that Epstein.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Is the only thing that there was no evidence that
la Epstein was using the videos or his black book
in order to blackmail anyone do.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
I don't think anybody buys any of this. I mean,
I don't know who there. It sounds like they're trying
to protect some people, that's for sure, because we were
told all of this stuff in the past. There was
a client list. There of course, was a list of
people on the plane. There were videotapes of all these people.
And now all of a sudden, no, that's no longer true.
(32:32):
It is bizarre.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Yeah, Congresswoman Anna Polina Luna is saying this is not
what we or the American people asked for, in a
complete disappointment, get us the information we asked for, was
her post on X.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
I'm sure there's some important people making phone calls to
the White House to make this go away. Rory O'Neil,
wr National correspondent, thanks.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
So much, Thanks, Larry.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Thought to you next week. The Supreme Court is on
a roll. That's according to Ariy Hoffman from the New
York Sun, and he'll explain next that's coming up after
the eight o'clock news
