Speaker 1 (00:00):
Lot going on today. Thank you so much for joining US.
Israel and Iran. They keep trading missile launches, a lot
of bombs hitting both countries overnight, with Israel taking out
the state run media television network in Iran while they
were on the air. I don't know if you've seen
(00:31):
the video of that, but it was chilling. Donald Trump
abruptly left the G seven summit to head back to
the White House. We'll get the latest with White House
correspondent John Dekker in just a couple of minutes. Early
voting continues in the New York may earl primary, and
The New York Times surprisingly refused to endorse any candidate whatsoever,
(00:54):
but said one candidate in particular is unfit to be mayor.
These are the opinions of about a dozen New Yorkers,
and the democracy will be decided by close to a
million New Yorkers. They certainly have the right to their opinions,
and New Yorkers have the right to their votes. And
that's the candidate that they said is unfit to be mayor.
Zorin mom, Donnie. We also got new details today about
(01:17):
the Minnesota assassin. Apparently he had been stalking his victims
for some time.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
It is no exaggeration to say that his crimes are
the stuff of nightmares. Delter stalked his victims like prey well.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
At the G seven conference, we mentioned just a moment
ago that Trump abruptly left because of the situation in Iran.
They did final lie as a tariff deal before he
had to leave the deal with the United Kingdom. A
very good day for Postlark country is a real side strength.
So thank you again, Donald, A really important day for
both of us great people, great people, and in the city.
(01:56):
The prosecution may rest today or tomorrow. When the shan
did he Comb's trial, And now the question is will
Combs take the stand in his own defense. As a
defense attorney, I prep all of my clients to testify.
I run them through the gambit. But I could not
tell him to get near that witness stand with a
ten foot pole. And former New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez
(02:19):
reports to a medium security federal prison in Pennsylvania today
to serve up to eleven years behind bars after being
found guilty of bribery and corruption charges. And now let's
get right to John Decker wl or White House in
Washington correspondent, Donald Trump abruptly left the G seven. John,
(02:40):
He's coming back to the White House. Do we know
what's going on yet?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Yeah, he's back at the White House. He arrived back
at the White House at five thirty am this morning.
There's a lid, meaning no news will happen until eleven
o'clock this morning.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
That's when the Pool report.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
But the reason for coming back and cutting his is
it short in Canada had everything to do with the
conflict between Israel and Iran. The presidents that he didn't
want to communicate by phone. He wanted to be in
the situation room in person. And that's the reason why
the President decided to cut that trip short and come
back to Washington, DC.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
That followed an ominous truth social post for everyone to
get out of Tehran. And I've been looking at video
of the streets of the outside of Tehran and it's,
you know, bumper to bumper. Everybody is trying to take
they're taking his word for it and they are now leaving.
That seems to portend something horrible happening in Iran.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Well potentially, that's right.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
You know, the President before he left for Canada, he
told me that he and the Prime Minister of Israel,
Benjamin Nett Yahoo are on the same page. There's no
daylight that separates his view of the situation involving Iran's
nuclear program in Israel's view of that city situation. And
the President repeated a similar type of line when he
(04:04):
was in Western Canada at the G seven. So you know,
the President and the Prime Minister of Israel communicate with
each other regularly and with good reason. You know, the
US has moved some very significant military assets to the
region to protect US interests, US troops, the USS Nimits
the aircraft aircraft carrier now en route to the region
(04:27):
as well.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
That sends a very important message to Iran.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
What should we read into, if anything, the times that
he gave you, the time that he gave the press
at the White House that this is this is going
to be meeting until eleven o'clock. Does that mean something's
going to happen in that time.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Well, it means that around that period of time, the
eleven o'clock you know, noon time hours when the President
will meet with his national security team in a situation
room and assess the situation is and also assess what
Israel's you know, short term and long term goals are
as it relates to this conflict with Iran. When can
(05:09):
they declare victory? When can they declare success? How long
will this conflict go on? Is it a matter of days?
Is a matter of weeks? I think the President wants
clarity on that issue as well.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
So it seems you believe that it's just communication that's
going to happen today, because many times when they go
into the situation room, it's because they want to watch
an operation or they want to watch an operation take place.
You don't believe that that is what they're going in
there for today.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Well it could be.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
I mean, look, I don't want to overly speculate what
the President will or won't do, or what the actions
of the US may or may not be. But the
President may clear in remarks that he made to the
press corps that was traveling with him that the primary
reason for wanting to get back to Washington was to
communicate in person. He actually said those words. He doesn't
(05:55):
like to communicate by phone, he said, people listen in
on the phone, and that's you know the reason why
the situation room is the best place to have these
types of conversations.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
It seems like now I know Benjamin Nenye, who has
been on American media a lot of the networks, saying
that it's foolish to have any more talks, that the
Americans were just they were being strung along all the time,
that he would like to take out the Supreme Leader,
and he thinks it's a mistake not to. That seems
to be going against what Donald Trump wants. Is there
(06:26):
some separation between the two of them?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Now?
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Well, you know, I mean Israel is always going to
have going to have its goals in mind, and they
may not always align with America's goals. I mean that's
always been the case. I don't think it's any different
with this situation. Israel is obviously very much concerned with
its national security. I mean, it's surrounded by enemies, including
your on and so Israel first and foremost has to
(06:51):
think about its national security.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
And you know, whether those goals.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Always align with the United States, you know, it's not
always the case. But you know, I think the Prime
Minister is focused on making certain that Israel in the
near term, in a long time perhaps ever, does not
have the capability to develop a nuclear weapons program.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
So Donald Trump seems to also still hold out the
possibility that there could be a peace deal. I know
that net Yahoo says that's foolish, but he said that
they should talk, that there should be some more peace talks.
Although he claims that he never reached out to them.
They apparently, what we're hearing, at least through back channels,
(07:36):
are trying to reach out to him. Is there anything
that we know of that's in the offing.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Well, what the President said upon his departure from Canada
was that he is not for a ceasefire. Ceasefire is
in his words, meaningless. What is meaningful is an end
to the fighting and a complete end to the war.
And so the President's not focused on a ceasefire. He
made that clear. He's focused on bringing an end to
(08:04):
the conflict entirely. But you know, I think that that's
wishful thinking. I don't believe Israel is in the n
stages or end game in terms of what it needs
to accomplish in terms of their aims, their goals concerning you.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
On No, they have already come out and said it's
going to take weeks. This is getting the world attention,
and of course all the attention in the United States
right now, but there's so much going on on Capitol
Hill at the same time, just now that they don't
have to do it under such a spotlight. Did did
the President really believe it was going to take this
long to get the big beautiful bill through the Senate?
(08:40):
Are we any anywhere close to introducing it at this point?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Well, this is an important week for Republicans. The reason
being is because it's a shortened week and the President
has established this, you know, this timeline of getting the
bill passed out of the Senate by July the fourth,
but it takes time. You know that this is an
important week in terms of releasing the text of that legislation.
The votes are not there as things stand right now,
(09:05):
because you already have a firm no from Rand Paul
of Kentucky. But then you have a number of other
senators that are on the fence that are noncommittal for
various reasons. You know, for Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski,
they believe that it cuts too much out of Medicaid,
and so they're not on board the bill. So some
work still needs to be done. You know, I've always
said that that July fourth deadline is wishful thinking, and
(09:29):
there's no necessity really for getting it done by July fourth,
other than just establishing an artificial deadline. You know, the
real goal is getting it done within the president's first
year in office, and I think that they can meet
that goal.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Just real quick. I know, a big concern to people
in New Jersey and Connecticut and in New York is
the salt deductions. Is that still okay? Or are they
negotiating that as well.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
They're negotiating that as well.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
You know, they look to see what it was that
happened on the House side of the Capitol on that
particular issue. And you know, just because the House does
one thing doesn't necessarily mean that the Senate's going to
do the same thing. You know, I think they're going
to do their own thing as it relates to that
salt deduction and figure out what it will take to
get the support of the necessary majority number of Senators
(10:20):
to move that bill out of the Senate. What emerges
out of the Senate will not look like the build
that emerged out of the House, but it's simply important
to have two bills that can, you know, then be
compromised at a later date to figure out what can
win the support of Republicans in both the House and
the Senate and get it to the President's desk for
his signature.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
John Decker, W L R. White House in Washington, correspondent, Thanks.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
John, Thank you, have a great day. By bye.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I to a coach upstate has a heart attack on
the soccer field and the opposing coach helps saves his life.
Plus tickets to see the Counting Crows. Stay with us, well, aways,
appreciate your talk bags, Please keep them coming in. You
go to the iHeart Radio app and you look for
seven to ten WLR. When you're in the seven ten
(11:05):
WR section, you look for the talkback area. There's a
microphone there. You push it, you record what you want
to say, and then we put you on the air.
The big story of today is happening between Iran and
Israel and possibly possibly the United States. Donald Trump called
the G seven short and it's back home right now.
(11:25):
He's at the White House and they're going to meet
in the situation room for most of the morning.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Good morning, Larry, Sunday Night twenty four to thirty six.
Maybe a little more Air Force refueling tankers made an
exodus out of the United States, heading towards the European
theater of operations and towards the Middle East. What does
that mean for today's meaning of the National Security Council?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
They may just be getting in place. I mean, we
just talked to John Dekker from the White House a
moment ago, and he is not willing to go too
far with this, and I don't think any of us
should right now. Something's happening today, and something is happening
that Donald Trump wants to be in the situation room
and talk it out with his top military advisors. Does
(12:13):
it mean the United States is going to be involved? No?
Does the fact that the USS nimics is going into
the Mediterranean right off the coast mean anything except for
the fact that we are protecting our assets in the region.
We just don't know at this point. We're gonna find
out a lot more just later this morning. Let's talk
(12:33):
about this story though from upstate New York. It is amazing.
These stories are just amazing how people come to other
people's aid, and in this case, they saved the life.
It was a game between two soccer teams, one from
Jamestown High School and one from Wilson High School, and
the one coach from Jamestown, Andrew Pillblad, all of the
(12:58):
sudden collapsed on the and the opposing coach, Paul Herman,
noticed it and ran to the crowd and said, who
knows CPR.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I realized real quickly, you know, he's he's in a
really bad place.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
That's when I was like screaming across to you know,
other people to help me, and everybody rushed the game
of course stop and everybody rushed to his aid, and
they found a defibrillator that was there as well, emergency
equipment that was there, took him to save his life,
got his heartbeat going again, and at the hospital he
said this, I would have died without without the CPR,
(13:35):
without the AD There's there's not even a question.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for their actions.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Just I love stories like that. I just love stories
like that about about sports and everybody just forgetting why
they're there for a moment and just concentrating on saving
a life. It's a nice job, both of you and
everybody that was at that game. And now Jacqueline Carl
with the seven thirty News Jack Log.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
Good Morning. Vance Walter now faces state and federal charges
in the murder of Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband.
Walter appeared in federal court Monday, charged with multiple crimes,
including stalking, murder with a firearm, and firearms offenses. He
also faces multiple counts of second degree intentional murder and
attempted murder, and state court and federal authorities are increasing
(14:25):
a cash reward that's being offered for two remaining detainees
who escaped to New Jersey Immigration detention Center last week.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Authority stay twenty year old Norberto Bautista Renas and twenty
four year old Andres Phelippe Pannette Bongolon are public safety threats.
Federal officials are offering twenty five thousand dollars for information
regarding the detainees in their locations. A total of four
migrants initially escaped Newark s Delaney Hall, but two were
captured over the weekend and returned to the ice facility.
(14:55):
Senator Andy Kim says their escape has led to a
major security review. Natalie Migliori wour News.
Speaker 6 (15:03):
So I found this interesting. This newly weed is putting
her foot down. According to the New York Post, one
bride's attempt to recoup wedding costs has gone viral after
she reportedly asked no show guests to cover the cost
of their uneaten meals fifty dollars per plate. According to
a Reddit post from one disgruntled guest, the bride was
shocked and upset when multiple people RSVP'd yes but failed
(15:26):
to show up. One guests claim their boyfriend couldn't attend
because of work and their mother got sick, excuses the
bride did not accept. The bride, who spent fifty bucks
per guest, floated the idea of charging the no shows,
and so online people are split. Some called a TACKI,
others back to her up, pointing how expensive weddings are,
averaging twenty six thousand in the US, with nearly fifty
(15:47):
five hundred spent on food and drink alone. Many commenters agreed,
if you RSVP yes, you should either show up or
at least send a gift. A lot of times RSVP no,
but I send a gift.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
But if you say you're gonna go, you go. I'm
with them. They should they should charge now. I would
never have the guts to actually go follow through with that.
But I don't blame her. I don't blame her at all.
I mean either, if you're charging them, your friendship's over.
Speaker 7 (16:15):
So say goodbye to that.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
Yeah, okay, goodbye.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
You're not gonna be friends. Any friendship wasn't good in
the first place, and you're not going to get it.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
If the if the friendship was really good and they
had to cancel, that friend will do something to make
it up to you.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Yeah, So do not go charging them. Come on, I
would in a second. You wouldn't charge them, wouldn't. But
I think about it seriously.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
He could really contemplate it quite seriously.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I like it. Thanks so much, Jacqueline. Congratulations to Jason
Woodward from Middletown, New Jersey, who just won a pair
of tickets to see The Counting Crows at the PNC
Bank Art Center on June twenty eighth. Tickets on sale
at ticketmaster dot com. We have another pair to give
away for the north Well Health at Jones Beach Theater
(17:03):
on June twenty ninth. That's coming up in an hour
at a twenty five Still to come. The Republican who
might just be Mayor of New York, Curtis Sliwa is
up next, and in a profoundly insightful episode of On Purpose,
Jay Shetty sits down with Simon Sinek, renowned leadership expert
(17:24):
and host of the podcast A Bit of Optimism, Jay
and Simon sheare a deeply vulnerable and powerful conversation about
what truly it means to be human in the world
that's more connected than ever, yet so emotionally disconnected. Open
the iHeartRadio app and search On Purpose with Jay Shetty
(17:45):
to listen. Now, Well, I'm very proud to talk to
a friend of mine who might just be the next
Mayor of New York. Curtis Sleiwa, Republican candidate for Mayor
of New York City, Curtis Where are you right.
Speaker 8 (17:57):
Now, Oh Larry, I'm right outside of a train station
on the Upper West Side, ready to jump in the subway.
Speaker 9 (18:04):
You know that's my limbo. No jeeps down there.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
But also, since since we last talk, I have qualified
on an independent line first ever protect Animals, which stands
for no kill shelters and.
Speaker 9 (18:18):
Prosecuting abuses of animals.
Speaker 8 (18:20):
First time it's ever been done in any election cycle
in the United States.
Speaker 9 (18:24):
So people have two lines to vote for me on.
Speaker 8 (18:27):
If they can't vote for me as a Republican, they
can vote for me on the Independent Protect Animals sign.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
The election laws in this city are so screwed up.
Everybody gets an independent line, everybody gets to run. The
primaries don't even matter anymore.
Speaker 9 (18:41):
Curtis, that is correct. And I know everybody's getting called tied.
Speaker 10 (18:46):
Up and not what happens if Mondmi somehow pulls an
upset against Cuomo in the Democratic primary, Larry wor audience,
it doesn't matter.
Speaker 9 (18:57):
In the general election. There will be five of us.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
There will be Mandami, there will be Cmo, there will
be Adams, there will be a guy nobody really knows,
Jim Walton, and then there will be me. And I
start out with thirty percent of the vote. So just
do the math. If you do the math, you can
understand why Curtiusly was going.
Speaker 9 (19:15):
To be the next mayor of New York. Ship.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
No.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
You told me this a few months ago, and I thought, oh,
that's interesting. That's an interesting theory. It's playing out to
be absolutely true. And the great thing is you're skating through.
Nobody's going after you. They're all eating each other, They're
all attacking each other, and I got a feeling until
the first poll comes out and shows you're either ahead
(19:39):
or competitive, you're going to keep skating through without anybody
going after you.
Speaker 9 (19:45):
Oh yeah, because remember they're all Democrats, Larry.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
All four of the others who will be in the
general election are registered Democrats. That means they're going to
continue the blood battle, cut each other up, Adams, Cuomo,
Mundami and this guy Walden. Meantime, I'm the only Republican
and I can basically believe it or not, Larry curtisly
would take the high road in this campaign.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Wow, that would be Nobody would believe it. Nobody would
be able to believe that was you. At that point,
you will be able to help yourself. Come on, seriously,
you're not going to take the high road.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
Well, the interesting thing is I'm out there in the
outer boroughs and I'm talking about all the issues that
are important to people in the Bronx, Brookland, Queens and
Staten Island.
Speaker 9 (20:33):
Nobody's doing that.
Speaker 8 (20:35):
Notice how in that last Democratic debate they will all
ask what borow do you travel to least? And they
said Staten Island and then laughed and giggled about it,
because that's the way they view the outer boroughs. If
it isn't Manhattan, if it isn't Manhattan centric, to them,
it doesn't count. I'm talking about the fact we're going
to have no more migrant shelters. We're going to cap
(20:55):
the number of shelters we have for Americans and manage
them well and eliminate City of Yes, which is going
to lead to the destruction of residential housing in the
outer boroughs because of corporate developers and no lithium ion
battery warehouses. They have ninety of them schedule to be
built in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island, not
(21:15):
one of them larry On Park Avenue or Sutton Place
or a billionaires row in Manhattan.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
That's what I love about your campaign, and I've been
following it very closely. I love about your campaign that
you're going after issues that are not talked about at
all in the debates, not talked about it all by
these candidates, but in the neighborhoods in Queens, in Brooklyn
and Staten Island and the Bronx, they are extremely important,
including the ion battery factory just for people who may
(21:43):
not be aware of what's going on because it's not
getting as much coverage at as should explain what's happening, Curtis.
Speaker 8 (21:52):
They are building these lithium ion battery warehouses to basically
store energy in the outer boroughs. They're doing it in Nassa,
on up Thick and other areas around the country.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
They've had forty explosions.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
And when these batteries explode, as you've seen in small
fires just in New York City with lithium ion battery
propel the e bytes and scooters and occasionally a Tesla
car with the A battery, it takes them hours to
put it out, and you can't put it out with water.
Now imagine a hundred refrigerator sty sized batteries when they
(22:28):
go up in smoke and they do, it takes five
to six days for it to burn itself out.
Speaker 9 (22:33):
They don't know how to put these fires out. There'll
be an.
Speaker 8 (22:36):
Eight square mile pluma hydrochloric acid. It'll be a miniturre nobil.
You'll have to evacuate. When you come back, your property
will be worthless. And God only knows the health dangers
that will accompany anybody who decides to stay back, you're
going to have basically many love canals all over.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
We lose them. Just then, those damn Democrats cut his phone.
That was what was great about what he was just
talking about is he's talking about issues that are extremely important,
extremely important to the neighborhoods that nobody's talking about on
the Democratic side, nobody. All they are talking about is money, money, money, money, money, money,
(23:26):
money for the city. What they're going to give way
for free. It seems to me that the Democratic Party
is running in Manhattan and Manhattan only that that's all
they care about, because all they talk about are Manhattan issues.
If you follow Curtis Leewa, and you should if you don't,
on social media, he is constantly out in the outer
(23:50):
boroughs and talking about things that no one else is
talking about. You heard him just a moment ago talking
about the City of Yes and how people are being
run out of their own neighborhoods by developers. You heard
him talking about the ion batteries. These are the Did
you hear one mention of any of those topics, any
of those topics in the Democratic primary, None, in the debate. None.
(24:15):
All right, you're back. We just can be lost your
phone there for a second. Did you get on the subway?
Speaker 8 (24:20):
No, no, no, no, I stay out of the subway
when I'm talking to you and your wor audience. Larry,
A guy actually inadvertently bumped me. I had to pick
him up. He was falling down. So we're back on track.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Ah, you're still out there saving lives. Look at that.
You know we have to wrap this up real quick.
Do you do you have a closing message for the voters.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
Yeah, don't get into a panic over this Democratic primary.
We still have a marathon. You want to find out
more about what I stand for, which is different than
any of the other candidates in the general erase race,
just go to sleewoop for NYCED dot com at sleewolf
for NYC dot com. And there is sanity in my campaign,
(25:03):
whereas there is complete insanity, chaos and corruption and everybody
else's campaign. Let's not continue to make the same mistakes.
Let's finally realize you vote for the New York City guy,
Curtis leeue. I didn't live in Portly and I didn't
live in at a Hampton fight Cuomo.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Thanks a lot, Curtis Lee with a Republican candidate for
New York City there look forward to talking to you again.
The accused political assassin in Minnesota was in court. WR
correspondent Roory O'Neil has the details. And the iHeart Music
Festival is back September nineteenth and twentieth in Las Vegas.
Two big nights, one big stage, live performances by Brian Adams,
(25:43):
John Fogerty, Sammy Hagar, Ed Sheer and Maroon Five. There's
many more to be added every day, and now's your
chance to win tickets. Go to AXS dot com, or
should say to buy tickets at AXS dot com, get
them now before they sell out. I just want to
let you know that coming up in the next hour,
(26:04):
one of your favorite guests, former news director Joe Bartlett,
is going to be here. I'm telling you that in
case you want to leave him a talkback, you want
to say something to him, maybe ask him a question.
To leave a talkback, as I tell you all the time,
just go to the iHeartRadio app. While you're there, you
want to download it as well, and look for seven
to ten WR. While you're there, set us as a
(26:26):
preset and you look for the talkback section, hit the
microphone and then you can leave a message about anything
we talked about today, But if you want to specifically
for Joe Bartlett, we will play it in the next hour. Now,
let's talk to wr national correspondent Rory O'Neil about the
man that is being called the Minnesota assassin Vance Bolter
(26:50):
this case. Just as we learn more, Rory gets stranger
and stranger and eerier and eerier. As one of the
police officers said, he is. He is a nightmare. Can
you tell us what the latest is?
Speaker 7 (27:03):
Yeah, and just full of contradictions, right, That's what's also
making this harder for investigators. They can't really figure out
the motive. Here's a guy appointed by Democratic governors to
a state board, but he's staunchly voting for President Trump
and hates Nancy Pelosi. He's got a security company but
apparently no clients. He's been working as a general manager
(27:24):
at a seven to eleven, but was somehow trying to
get a security deal in countries in Africa. So just
this strange guy, and it's difficult to figure out exactly
what the motive was here. But as you said, clearly
there was something methodical as these attacks had been planned
for months, and if not for a couple of circumstances,
(27:44):
could have been much worse.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Saturday morning as well, Oh.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
It could have been much worse because as they found
I guess in his car, he had a hit list.
They called it a manifesto, but it reads more like
a hit list of people that he was planning to
go after. Do we know now who was on that list?
Speaker 7 (28:03):
We know Governor Tim Walls was on the list. The
US Senator from Michigan was also on the list. But
Saturday morning he went to one house, shot and wounded
the state senator, went to a second house and a
third house but they weren't home or he couldn't get in.
And then it was the fourth house where he shot
the former house speaker and her husband. So he went
(28:24):
to four different locations. At one he was chased off
by police in his stake SUV. So just a very
bizarre series of incidents as they unfolded, and it took
forty three hours to track him down and finally get
him into custody.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Well, the police almost had him at one point. Right,
wasn't there a shootout?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Yep?
Speaker 7 (28:43):
Well, right at that fourth residence when the police arrived
at the home of the former house speaker and her husband.
The officers were there and they saw him shoot and
kill the speaker's husband, and then there was a bit
of a shootout. He ran into the home and then
was able to escape because the officer at the scene
were trying to attend to the wounded peak. Yeah, so
(29:04):
that's what he escaped. And then he bought a car
from a guy at a bus stop and an e
bike as well, all crazy events.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
No, and boy, the mask he was wearing and when
you look at that ring doorbell where the security camera
was just the eeriest thing I've ever seen. How did
they finally get him?
Speaker 7 (29:22):
Well, right, it was the car that was abandoned that
he bought off a guy at the bus stop. They
were able to trace it back to him, got a
tip about it and in a wooded area that was
not too far from his home. There was also a
trail camera that caught him going by some of the
woods and that helped to bring this all together and
he was taken into custody without a shot being fired.
(29:44):
He essentially was talked into surrendering.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
And now there's a big push to just lower the
rhetoric in the country. Why do I think that's going
to last a couple of days and we'll get right
back to where we were before, infecting sick minds like
this guy. Rory O'Neill, WR Nation Correspondent, thanks so much
for the update. Appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Thanks Larry.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Early. Voting is happening right now in the mayoral race.
We just talked to Curtis lee Well a moment ago.
I will tell you right now, and I'll bet you
on this, he's going to win the Republican primary. I
will bet you I'm going to go out in the
limb and say that. The mayoral race, though, is front
and center. We'll talk with former councilman Joe Borelli about
(30:25):
the race that's coming up right after the eight o'clock
news
Lot going on today. Thank you so much for joining US.
Israel and Iran. They keep trading missile launches, a lot
of bombs hitting both countries overnight, with Israel taking out
the state run media television network in Iran while they
were on the air. I don't know if you've seen
(00:31):
the video of that, but it was chilling. Donald Trump
abruptly left the G seven summit to head back to
the White House. We'll get the latest with White House
correspondent John Dekker in just a couple of minutes. Early
voting continues in the New York may earl primary, and
The New York Times surprisingly refused to endorse any candidate whatsoever,
(00:54):
but said one candidate in particular is unfit to be mayor.
These are the opinions of about a dozen New Yorkers,
and the democracy will be decided by close to a
million New Yorkers. They certainly have the right to their opinions,
and New Yorkers have the right to their votes. And
that's the candidate that they said is unfit to be mayor.
Zorin mom, Donnie. We also got new details today about
(01:17):
the Minnesota assassin. Apparently he had been stalking his victims
for some time.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
It is no exaggeration to say that his crimes are
the stuff of nightmares. Delter stalked his victims like prey well.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
At the G seven conference, we mentioned just a moment
ago that Trump abruptly left because of the situation in Iran.
They did final lie as a tariff deal before he
had to leave the deal with the United Kingdom. A
very good day for Postlark country is a real side strength.
So thank you again, Donald, A really important day for
both of us great people, great people, and in the city.
(01:56):
The prosecution may rest today or tomorrow. When the shan
did he Comb's trial, And now the question is will
Combs take the stand in his own defense. As a
defense attorney, I prep all of my clients to testify.
I run them through the gambit. But I could not
tell him to get near that witness stand with a
ten foot pole. And former New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez
(02:19):
reports to a medium security federal prison in Pennsylvania today
to serve up to eleven years behind bars after being
found guilty of bribery and corruption charges. And now let's
get right to John Decker wl or White House in
Washington correspondent, Donald Trump abruptly left the G seven. John,
(02:40):
He's coming back to the White House. Do we know
what's going on yet?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Yeah, he's back at the White House. He arrived back
at the White House at five thirty am this morning.
There's a lid, meaning no news will happen until eleven
o'clock this morning.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
That's when the Pool report.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
But the reason for coming back and cutting his is
it short in Canada had everything to do with the
conflict between Israel and Iran. The presidents that he didn't
want to communicate by phone. He wanted to be in
the situation room in person. And that's the reason why
the President decided to cut that trip short and come
back to Washington, DC.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
That followed an ominous truth social post for everyone to
get out of Tehran. And I've been looking at video
of the streets of the outside of Tehran and it's,
you know, bumper to bumper. Everybody is trying to take
they're taking his word for it and they are now leaving.
That seems to portend something horrible happening in Iran.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Well potentially, that's right.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
You know, the President before he left for Canada, he
told me that he and the Prime Minister of Israel,
Benjamin Nett Yahoo are on the same page. There's no
daylight that separates his view of the situation involving Iran's
nuclear program in Israel's view of that city situation. And
the President repeated a similar type of line when he
(04:04):
was in Western Canada at the G seven. So you know,
the President and the Prime Minister of Israel communicate with
each other regularly and with good reason. You know, the
US has moved some very significant military assets to the
region to protect US interests, US troops, the USS Nimits
the aircraft aircraft carrier now en route to the region
(04:27):
as well.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
That sends a very important message to Iran.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
What should we read into, if anything, the times that
he gave you, the time that he gave the press
at the White House that this is this is going
to be meeting until eleven o'clock. Does that mean something's
going to happen in that time.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Well, it means that around that period of time, the
eleven o'clock you know, noon time hours when the President
will meet with his national security team in a situation
room and assess the situation is and also assess what
Israel's you know, short term and long term goals are
as it relates to this conflict with Iran. When can
(05:09):
they declare victory? When can they declare success? How long
will this conflict go on? Is it a matter of days?
Is a matter of weeks? I think the President wants
clarity on that issue as well.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
So it seems you believe that it's just communication that's
going to happen today, because many times when they go
into the situation room, it's because they want to watch
an operation or they want to watch an operation take place.
You don't believe that that is what they're going in
there for today.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Well it could be.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
I mean, look, I don't want to overly speculate what
the President will or won't do, or what the actions
of the US may or may not be. But the
President may clear in remarks that he made to the
press corps that was traveling with him that the primary
reason for wanting to get back to Washington was to
communicate in person. He actually said those words. He doesn't
(05:55):
like to communicate by phone, he said, people listen in
on the phone, and that's you know the reason why
the situation room is the best place to have these
types of conversations.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
It seems like now I know Benjamin Nenye, who has
been on American media a lot of the networks, saying
that it's foolish to have any more talks, that the
Americans were just they were being strung along all the time,
that he would like to take out the Supreme Leader,
and he thinks it's a mistake not to. That seems
to be going against what Donald Trump wants. Is there
(06:26):
some separation between the two of them?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Now?
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Well, you know, I mean Israel is always going to
have going to have its goals in mind, and they
may not always align with America's goals. I mean that's
always been the case. I don't think it's any different
with this situation. Israel is obviously very much concerned with
its national security. I mean, it's surrounded by enemies, including
your on and so Israel first and foremost has to
(06:51):
think about its national security.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
And you know, whether those goals.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Always align with the United States, you know, it's not
always the case. But you know, I think the Prime
Minister is focused on making certain that Israel in the
near term, in a long time perhaps ever, does not
have the capability to develop a nuclear weapons program.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
So Donald Trump seems to also still hold out the
possibility that there could be a peace deal. I know
that net Yahoo says that's foolish, but he said that
they should talk, that there should be some more peace talks.
Although he claims that he never reached out to them.
They apparently, what we're hearing, at least through back channels,
(07:36):
are trying to reach out to him. Is there anything
that we know of that's in the offing.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Well, what the President said upon his departure from Canada
was that he is not for a ceasefire. Ceasefire is
in his words, meaningless. What is meaningful is an end
to the fighting and a complete end to the war.
And so the President's not focused on a ceasefire. He
made that clear. He's focused on bringing an end to
(08:04):
the conflict entirely. But you know, I think that that's
wishful thinking. I don't believe Israel is in the n
stages or end game in terms of what it needs
to accomplish in terms of their aims, their goals concerning you.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
On No, they have already come out and said it's
going to take weeks. This is getting the world attention,
and of course all the attention in the United States
right now, but there's so much going on on Capitol
Hill at the same time, just now that they don't
have to do it under such a spotlight. Did did
the President really believe it was going to take this
long to get the big beautiful bill through the Senate?
(08:40):
Are we any anywhere close to introducing it at this point?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Well, this is an important week for Republicans. The reason
being is because it's a shortened week and the President
has established this, you know, this timeline of getting the
bill passed out of the Senate by July the fourth,
but it takes time. You know that this is an
important week in terms of releasing the text of that legislation.
The votes are not there as things stand right now,
(09:05):
because you already have a firm no from Rand Paul
of Kentucky. But then you have a number of other
senators that are on the fence that are noncommittal for
various reasons. You know, for Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski,
they believe that it cuts too much out of Medicaid,
and so they're not on board the bill. So some
work still needs to be done. You know, I've always
said that that July fourth deadline is wishful thinking, and
(09:29):
there's no necessity really for getting it done by July fourth,
other than just establishing an artificial deadline. You know, the
real goal is getting it done within the president's first
year in office, and I think that they can meet
that goal.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Just real quick. I know, a big concern to people
in New Jersey and Connecticut and in New York is
the salt deductions. Is that still okay? Or are they
negotiating that as well.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
They're negotiating that as well.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
You know, they look to see what it was that
happened on the House side of the Capitol on that
particular issue. And you know, just because the House does
one thing doesn't necessarily mean that the Senate's going to
do the same thing. You know, I think they're going
to do their own thing as it relates to that
salt deduction and figure out what it will take to
get the support of the necessary majority number of Senators
(10:20):
to move that bill out of the Senate. What emerges
out of the Senate will not look like the build
that emerged out of the House, but it's simply important
to have two bills that can, you know, then be
compromised at a later date to figure out what can
win the support of Republicans in both the House and
the Senate and get it to the President's desk for
his signature.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
John Decker, W L R. White House in Washington, correspondent, Thanks.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
John, Thank you, have a great day. By bye.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I to a coach upstate has a heart attack on
the soccer field and the opposing coach helps saves his life.
Plus tickets to see the Counting Crows. Stay with us, well, aways,
appreciate your talk bags, Please keep them coming in. You
go to the iHeart Radio app and you look for
seven to ten WLR. When you're in the seven ten
(11:05):
WR section, you look for the talkback area. There's a
microphone there. You push it, you record what you want
to say, and then we put you on the air.
The big story of today is happening between Iran and
Israel and possibly possibly the United States. Donald Trump called
the G seven short and it's back home right now.
(11:25):
He's at the White House and they're going to meet
in the situation room for most of the morning.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Good morning, Larry, Sunday Night twenty four to thirty six.
Maybe a little more Air Force refueling tankers made an
exodus out of the United States, heading towards the European
theater of operations and towards the Middle East. What does
that mean for today's meaning of the National Security Council?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
They may just be getting in place. I mean, we
just talked to John Dekker from the White House a
moment ago, and he is not willing to go too
far with this, and I don't think any of us
should right now. Something's happening today, and something is happening
that Donald Trump wants to be in the situation room
and talk it out with his top military advisors. Does
(12:13):
it mean the United States is going to be involved? No?
Does the fact that the USS nimics is going into
the Mediterranean right off the coast mean anything except for
the fact that we are protecting our assets in the region.
We just don't know at this point. We're gonna find
out a lot more just later this morning. Let's talk
(12:33):
about this story though from upstate New York. It is amazing.
These stories are just amazing how people come to other
people's aid, and in this case, they saved the life.
It was a game between two soccer teams, one from
Jamestown High School and one from Wilson High School, and
the one coach from Jamestown, Andrew Pillblad, all of the
(12:58):
sudden collapsed on the and the opposing coach, Paul Herman,
noticed it and ran to the crowd and said, who
knows CPR.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I realized real quickly, you know, he's he's in a
really bad place.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
That's when I was like screaming across to you know,
other people to help me, and everybody rushed the game
of course stop and everybody rushed to his aid, and
they found a defibrillator that was there as well, emergency
equipment that was there, took him to save his life,
got his heartbeat going again, and at the hospital he
said this, I would have died without without the CPR,
(13:35):
without the AD There's there's not even a question.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for their actions.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Just I love stories like that. I just love stories
like that about about sports and everybody just forgetting why
they're there for a moment and just concentrating on saving
a life. It's a nice job, both of you and
everybody that was at that game. And now Jacqueline Carl
with the seven thirty News Jack Log.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
Good Morning. Vance Walter now faces state and federal charges
in the murder of Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband.
Walter appeared in federal court Monday, charged with multiple crimes,
including stalking, murder with a firearm, and firearms offenses. He
also faces multiple counts of second degree intentional murder and
attempted murder, and state court and federal authorities are increasing
(14:25):
a cash reward that's being offered for two remaining detainees
who escaped to New Jersey Immigration detention Center last week.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Authority stay twenty year old Norberto Bautista Renas and twenty
four year old Andres Phelippe Pannette Bongolon are public safety threats.
Federal officials are offering twenty five thousand dollars for information
regarding the detainees in their locations. A total of four
migrants initially escaped Newark s Delaney Hall, but two were
captured over the weekend and returned to the ice facility.
(14:55):
Senator Andy Kim says their escape has led to a
major security review. Natalie Migliori wour News.
Speaker 6 (15:03):
So I found this interesting. This newly weed is putting
her foot down. According to the New York Post, one
bride's attempt to recoup wedding costs has gone viral after
she reportedly asked no show guests to cover the cost
of their uneaten meals fifty dollars per plate. According to
a Reddit post from one disgruntled guest, the bride was
shocked and upset when multiple people RSVP'd yes but failed
(15:26):
to show up. One guests claim their boyfriend couldn't attend
because of work and their mother got sick, excuses the
bride did not accept. The bride, who spent fifty bucks
per guest, floated the idea of charging the no shows,
and so online people are split. Some called a TACKI,
others back to her up, pointing how expensive weddings are,
averaging twenty six thousand in the US, with nearly fifty
(15:47):
five hundred spent on food and drink alone. Many commenters agreed,
if you RSVP yes, you should either show up or
at least send a gift. A lot of times RSVP no,
but I send a gift.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
But if you say you're gonna go, you go. I'm
with them. They should they should charge now. I would
never have the guts to actually go follow through with that.
But I don't blame her. I don't blame her at all.
I mean either, if you're charging them, your friendship's over.
Speaker 7 (16:15):
So say goodbye to that.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
Yeah, okay, goodbye.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
You're not gonna be friends. Any friendship wasn't good in
the first place, and you're not going to get it.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
If the if the friendship was really good and they
had to cancel, that friend will do something to make
it up to you.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Yeah, So do not go charging them. Come on, I
would in a second. You wouldn't charge them, wouldn't. But
I think about it seriously.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
He could really contemplate it quite seriously.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I like it. Thanks so much, Jacqueline. Congratulations to Jason
Woodward from Middletown, New Jersey, who just won a pair
of tickets to see The Counting Crows at the PNC
Bank Art Center on June twenty eighth. Tickets on sale
at ticketmaster dot com. We have another pair to give
away for the north Well Health at Jones Beach Theater
(17:03):
on June twenty ninth. That's coming up in an hour
at a twenty five Still to come. The Republican who
might just be Mayor of New York, Curtis Sliwa is
up next, and in a profoundly insightful episode of On Purpose,
Jay Shetty sits down with Simon Sinek, renowned leadership expert
(17:24):
and host of the podcast A Bit of Optimism, Jay
and Simon sheare a deeply vulnerable and powerful conversation about
what truly it means to be human in the world
that's more connected than ever, yet so emotionally disconnected. Open
the iHeartRadio app and search On Purpose with Jay Shetty
(17:45):
to listen. Now, Well, I'm very proud to talk to
a friend of mine who might just be the next
Mayor of New York. Curtis Sleiwa, Republican candidate for Mayor
of New York City, Curtis Where are you right.
Speaker 8 (17:57):
Now, Oh Larry, I'm right outside of a train station
on the Upper West Side, ready to jump in the subway.
Speaker 9 (18:04):
You know that's my limbo. No jeeps down there.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
But also, since since we last talk, I have qualified
on an independent line first ever protect Animals, which stands
for no kill shelters and.
Speaker 9 (18:18):
Prosecuting abuses of animals.
Speaker 8 (18:20):
First time it's ever been done in any election cycle
in the United States.
Speaker 9 (18:24):
So people have two lines to vote for me on.
Speaker 8 (18:27):
If they can't vote for me as a Republican, they
can vote for me on the Independent Protect Animals sign.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
The election laws in this city are so screwed up.
Everybody gets an independent line, everybody gets to run. The
primaries don't even matter anymore.
Speaker 9 (18:41):
Curtis, that is correct. And I know everybody's getting called tied.
Speaker 10 (18:46):
Up and not what happens if Mondmi somehow pulls an
upset against Cuomo in the Democratic primary, Larry wor audience,
it doesn't matter.
Speaker 9 (18:57):
In the general election. There will be five of us.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
There will be Mandami, there will be Cmo, there will
be Adams, there will be a guy nobody really knows,
Jim Walton, and then there will be me. And I
start out with thirty percent of the vote. So just
do the math. If you do the math, you can
understand why Curtiusly was going.
Speaker 9 (19:15):
To be the next mayor of New York. Ship.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
No.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
You told me this a few months ago, and I thought, oh,
that's interesting. That's an interesting theory. It's playing out to
be absolutely true. And the great thing is you're skating through.
Nobody's going after you. They're all eating each other, They're
all attacking each other, and I got a feeling until
the first poll comes out and shows you're either ahead
(19:39):
or competitive, you're going to keep skating through without anybody
going after you.
Speaker 9 (19:45):
Oh yeah, because remember they're all Democrats, Larry.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
All four of the others who will be in the
general election are registered Democrats. That means they're going to
continue the blood battle, cut each other up, Adams, Cuomo,
Mundami and this guy Walden. Meantime, I'm the only Republican
and I can basically believe it or not, Larry curtisly
would take the high road in this campaign.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Wow, that would be Nobody would believe it. Nobody would
be able to believe that was you. At that point,
you will be able to help yourself. Come on, seriously,
you're not going to take the high road.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
Well, the interesting thing is I'm out there in the
outer boroughs and I'm talking about all the issues that
are important to people in the Bronx, Brookland, Queens and
Staten Island.
Speaker 9 (20:33):
Nobody's doing that.
Speaker 8 (20:35):
Notice how in that last Democratic debate they will all
ask what borow do you travel to least? And they
said Staten Island and then laughed and giggled about it,
because that's the way they view the outer boroughs. If
it isn't Manhattan, if it isn't Manhattan centric, to them,
it doesn't count. I'm talking about the fact we're going
to have no more migrant shelters. We're going to cap
(20:55):
the number of shelters we have for Americans and manage
them well and eliminate City of Yes, which is going
to lead to the destruction of residential housing in the
outer boroughs because of corporate developers and no lithium ion
battery warehouses. They have ninety of them schedule to be
built in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island, not
(21:15):
one of them larry On Park Avenue or Sutton Place
or a billionaires row in Manhattan.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
That's what I love about your campaign, and I've been
following it very closely. I love about your campaign that
you're going after issues that are not talked about at
all in the debates, not talked about it all by
these candidates, but in the neighborhoods in Queens, in Brooklyn
and Staten Island and the Bronx, they are extremely important,
including the ion battery factory just for people who may
(21:43):
not be aware of what's going on because it's not
getting as much coverage at as should explain what's happening, Curtis.
Speaker 8 (21:52):
They are building these lithium ion battery warehouses to basically
store energy in the outer boroughs. They're doing it in Nassa,
on up Thick and other areas around the country.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
They've had forty explosions.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
And when these batteries explode, as you've seen in small
fires just in New York City with lithium ion battery
propel the e bytes and scooters and occasionally a Tesla
car with the A battery, it takes them hours to
put it out, and you can't put it out with water.
Now imagine a hundred refrigerator sty sized batteries when they
(22:28):
go up in smoke and they do, it takes five
to six days for it to burn itself out.
Speaker 9 (22:33):
They don't know how to put these fires out. There'll
be an.
Speaker 8 (22:36):
Eight square mile pluma hydrochloric acid. It'll be a miniturre nobil.
You'll have to evacuate. When you come back, your property
will be worthless. And God only knows the health dangers
that will accompany anybody who decides to stay back, you're
going to have basically many love canals all over.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
We lose them. Just then, those damn Democrats cut his phone.
That was what was great about what he was just
talking about is he's talking about issues that are extremely important,
extremely important to the neighborhoods that nobody's talking about on
the Democratic side, nobody. All they are talking about is money, money, money, money, money, money,
(23:26):
money for the city. What they're going to give way
for free. It seems to me that the Democratic Party
is running in Manhattan and Manhattan only that that's all
they care about, because all they talk about are Manhattan issues.
If you follow Curtis Leewa, and you should if you don't,
on social media, he is constantly out in the outer
(23:50):
boroughs and talking about things that no one else is
talking about. You heard him just a moment ago talking
about the City of Yes and how people are being
run out of their own neighborhoods by developers. You heard
him talking about the ion batteries. These are the Did
you hear one mention of any of those topics, any
of those topics in the Democratic primary, None, in the debate. None.
(24:15):
All right, you're back. We just can be lost your
phone there for a second. Did you get on the subway?
Speaker 8 (24:20):
No, no, no, no, I stay out of the subway
when I'm talking to you and your wor audience. Larry,
A guy actually inadvertently bumped me. I had to pick
him up. He was falling down. So we're back on track.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Ah, you're still out there saving lives. Look at that.
You know we have to wrap this up real quick.
Do you do you have a closing message for the voters.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
Yeah, don't get into a panic over this Democratic primary.
We still have a marathon. You want to find out
more about what I stand for, which is different than
any of the other candidates in the general erase race,
just go to sleewoop for NYCED dot com at sleewolf
for NYC dot com. And there is sanity in my campaign,
(25:03):
whereas there is complete insanity, chaos and corruption and everybody
else's campaign. Let's not continue to make the same mistakes.
Let's finally realize you vote for the New York City guy,
Curtis leeue. I didn't live in Portly and I didn't
live in at a Hampton fight Cuomo.
Speaker 1 (25:21):

should say to buy tickets at AXS dot com, get

let you know that coming up in the next hour,
(26:04):
one of your favorite guests, former news director Joe Bartlett,
is going to be here. I'm telling you that in
case you want to leave him a talkback, you want
to say something to him, maybe ask him a question.
To leave a talkback, as I tell you all the time,
just go to the iHeartRadio app. While you're there, you
want to download it as well, and look for seven
to ten WR. While you're there, set us as a
(26:26):
preset and you look for the talkback section, hit the
microphone and then you can leave a message about anything
we talked about today, But if you want to specifically
for Joe Bartlett, we will play it in the next hour. Now,
let's talk to wr national correspondent Rory O'Neil about the
man that is being called the Minnesota assassin Vance Bolter
(26:50):
this case. Just as we learn more, Rory gets stranger
and stranger and eerier and eerier. As one of the
police officers said, he is. He is a nightmare. Can
you tell us what the latest is?
Speaker 7 (27:03):
Yeah, and just full of contradictions, right, That's what's also
making this harder for investigators. They can't really figure out
the motive. Here's a guy appointed by Democratic governors to
a state board, but he's staunchly voting for President Trump
and hates Nancy Pelosi. He's got a security company but
apparently no clients. He's been working as a general manager
(27:24):
at a seven to eleven, but was somehow trying to
get a security deal in countries in Africa. So just
this strange guy, and it's difficult to figure out exactly
what the motive was here. But as you said, clearly
there was something methodical as these attacks had been planned
for months, and if not for a couple of circumstances,
(27:44):
could have been much worse.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Saturday morning as well, Oh.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
It could have been much worse because as they found
I guess in his car, he had a hit list.
They called it a manifesto, but it reads more like
a hit list of people that he was planning to
go after. Do we know now who was on that list?
Speaker 7 (28:03):
We know Governor Tim Walls was on the list. The
US Senator from Michigan was also on the list. But
Saturday morning he went to one house, shot and wounded
the state senator, went to a second house and a
third house but they weren't home or he couldn't get in.
And then it was the fourth house where he shot
the former house speaker and her husband. So he went
(28:24):
to four different locations. At one he was chased off
by police in his stake SUV. So just a very
bizarre series of incidents as they unfolded, and it took
forty three hours to track him down and finally get
him into custody.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Well, the police almost had him at one point. Right,
wasn't there a shootout?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Yep?
Speaker 7 (28:43):
Well, right at that fourth residence when the police arrived
at the home of the former house speaker and her husband.
The officers were there and they saw him shoot and
kill the speaker's husband, and then there was a bit
of a shootout. He ran into the home and then
was able to escape because the officer at the scene
were trying to attend to the wounded peak. Yeah, so
(29:04):
that's what he escaped. And then he bought a car
from a guy at a bus stop and an e
bike as well, all crazy events.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
No, and boy, the mask he was wearing and when
you look at that ring doorbell where the security camera
was just the eeriest thing I've ever seen. How did
they finally get him?
Speaker 7 (29:22):
Well, right, it was the car that was abandoned that
he bought off a guy at the bus stop. They
were able to trace it back to him, got a
tip about it and in a wooded area that was
not too far from his home. There was also a
trail camera that caught him going by some of the
woods and that helped to bring this all together and
he was taken into custody without a shot being fired.
(29:44):
He essentially was talked into surrendering.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
And now there's a big push to just lower the
rhetoric in the country. Why do I think that's going
to last a couple of days and we'll get right
back to where we were before, infecting sick minds like
this guy. Rory O'Neill, WR Nation Correspondent, thanks so much
for the update. Appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Thanks Larry.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Early. Voting is happening right now in the mayoral race.
We just talked to Curtis lee Well a moment ago.
I will tell you right now, and I'll bet you
on this, he's going to win the Republican primary. I
will bet you I'm going to go out in the
limb and say that. The mayoral race, though, is front
and center. We'll talk with former councilman Joe Borelli about
(30:25):
the race that's coming up right after the eight o'clock
