Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, thanks so much for joining us this morning. I
know you have a lot of choices and you choose us,
which means the world to us. Also, if you get
a chance, leave us a talk back about anything that
we talk about today. We have Vicky Palladino coming up.
If you've been reading her tweets, that is going to
be really fascinating. Well, a vigil was held in Brian
(00:22):
Park that leads off our Big three today. It was
to mourn the four victims of the Park Avenue mass shooting,
but our tone death Governor Kathy Hochel decided to infuse
politics and bring up gun control.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
This is the time to stand up and say no
more slaughter by a weapon of mass destruction designed to
kill people on the battlefield, not in our buildings here
in the.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Great city of New York.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
By the way, do you mind Era mus Sen yep?
By the way, did you notice that she uh brings
her own hype people all the time. Every time she's
in the subway, she's surrounded by people. They're gonna plaud
about everything she says, which is really a sign of
insecurity because if people aren't going to clap, they're not
going to clap so she makes sure she brings her
(01:09):
own laugh track, and she brings her own applause track
all the time. Look, you cannot reelect this woman. She's
been a complete embarrassment. A tsunami hits Hawaii, but luckily
it wasn't as bad as predicted, or so we thought,
(01:30):
and the tsunami warning has been downgraded to a tsunami advisory.
A tsunami advisory means that the potential for strong currents
or dangerous waves are expected or occurring for those in
or near the water. They're may be flooding a beach
or harbor areas. You know, I said as or so
we thought a moment ago, because breaking news came over
(01:51):
just as I was reading that that a wave, a
tsunami wave of five feet hit Maui. That was just reported.
We'll keep a track on that, and if there is
any damage or there's any real problems because of the tsunami,
we'll have it during this show. Remember how controversial the
offshore wind turbines were off the coast of New Jersey,
(02:14):
New York, and Connecticut. Well, guess what, thanks to Donald Trump,
not anymore.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
We will not allow a windmill to be built in
the United States.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
They're killing us.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
They're killing the beauty of our scenery, our valleys, our
beautiful planes. And you look up and you see windmills
all over the place. It's a horrible thing. It's the
most expensive form of energy.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
It's no good. The situation of gods that continues to
get worse in the United States is now sending cargo
planes packed with food. So we sent sixty million dollars.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
It's a lot of money for food, a lot of
money that can take care of people for a long time,
and we want to make sure it's going to be
it's being spent properly.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
And part of the spending is the distribution. So all
those pans full of food or going over to Israel
and Gaza and flying back now from Uganda is Zurin Mamdani,
Democratic mayoral nominee in the race for mayor. You know,
the man, the everyday man of the people, the man
(03:16):
who's trying to make things more affordable for him and
for all New Yorkers. He's flying back from his family's
multi million dollar compound where he by the way, he
had heavy heavy security, armed guards, twenty of them, and
three gates, you know, to protect him and his family,
even though he wants less police here. That is the
(03:39):
reason that I was so excited to talk to Vicki
Palladino today because I've been reading her tweets and she's
been saying more vociferously than I just put it basically
the same thing Vicki have at it zorin Mamdani has
a huge party in both Dubai and Uganda.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Yes, isn't he something else? What a hypocrite? Okay, I
mean we have just I mean the best is yet
to come, because when this soob comes home from Uganda,
there's a lot of stuff that he needs to answer for,
like his ridiculous pitifol disgusting, another hypocritical comment about what
(04:23):
happened with the police officer and how saddened he was
by it, with what happened the other evening, which was
a tragedy for New York and a tragedy for this
young police officer. Married two kids, one on the way
any day now. And this is really all for me,
but not for me. This is standard. This is his line.
(04:46):
We all know it. I mean, the idea that he
had actual cell phone scramblers okay, the house, the perimeter
of the house was gone over with bob wire fencing,
and he needed multi million dollar parents, his mother multimillion
dollar movie maker and all of that. Dubai and you Ganda, Okay,
(05:10):
this is this is absolutely absurd. You know, it's kind
of like why you watch Rome Burns. You're not here now,
if you're running for mayor of the greatest city in
the world and you're not there, it's the same way
the way Karen boss Uh, you know, the mayor of
Los Angeles, she was in Gania when the La fires
(05:31):
broke out, and we all know how that's going. And
it's still yet. People haven't seen a nicol or are
dying to rebuild. We've got a genuine tragedy here happening
in New York, unfolding right before our eyes in the
name of Zorant Mandabi okay a Mandani. And if we
(05:51):
don't stop this guy dead in his tracks, we are
going to be in such trouble. This is this is
the riding on the wall. I don't know how much
more blatant people need to, how much he needs to
be more blatant for people to see exactly what's going
on here. I mean, this is absolutely horrific. Now let's
(06:13):
remember too, the SRG. What is SRG, the Strategic Strategic
Response Group. They are the first group of people from
the specialty forces from the police NYPD, best police department
in the nation, possibly in the world. Okay, and they
are called, you know, to this scene first, as they
(06:36):
are always called. This guy wants them and has said
they are calling for the SRG to be dismantled. So
one of the first things you're going to do is
to stand this. We have an issue.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Excuse me, Larry, No, don't worry about it. I agree
with everything you are saying. I think how and this
is the good news, councilwoman. The good news is that
the poll numbers show he's slipping in the polls. And
here's the here's one of the reasons. It's not only
in New York, it's the country. Everybody's talking about him,
(07:15):
and everybody he's almost you know, he's embarrassing to New
York City right now because everybody's aghast. And by the way,
the Republicans love it. They are they're talking about him
all the time. They want him to be the face
of the Democratic Party, which is why I think Democrats
are reluctant to endorse him.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Well, they should be reluctant to endorse him, because do
you really want the Democratic Party that I mean love
him or hate him years ago, to have the face
of AOC or this maniac as your as you're as
the new Democratic Party. No, the Democratic Party is so
fragmented at this particular time. They're trying to find their
(07:58):
own identity and they can't. They're in Quicksand you see
what they've done, Larry, is they through the indoctrination.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Of our education system.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
He's been going on for decades and decades. And I've
said this before and I'll stay it again. You know,
the chickens have come home to roosts. The unruly children
are now in charge, and you know what, they cannot
control what they actually have raised and brought up. So
now you've got the older Democrats the uh saying, and
(08:29):
the more secure Democrats distancing themselves from him. But is
it going to work? Because if this guy does become
the mayor of New York City, god forbid, and the
people do not come out and drove and vote, because
this is the only way this is preventable. We cannot
(08:49):
have a mayor's race where only a million people show up,
we cannot and if we do, he's sure sure to win.
Absolutely if we have millions of people, because I'll tell
you sadly, none of these none of these people, Adams, Cuomo, Curtis,
I'll go to step away from this so everybody needs
(09:11):
to face facts. This is going to be a split vote.
That's it. Where they're not going to go into a
room in September the way we all wish they would
and sit like gentlemen and grown ups and try to
figure out whoever's ahead in the poll. It's a must
beat Mangabi race. Okay, it's not going to happen, and
if it does, I'll be the first one to You'll
(09:33):
have to pick me up off the floor because no,
as it goes right now, do you actually see them
doing that?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
No, I do not see them. No, there's no way.
That egos are way too big and they've wanted this
for way too long. Vicky, thanks so much. I appreciated.

of Northeast Queens. I don't know if you don't follow

right there, it's amplified on her Twitter pages. She does
not hold back, and I know that if you watch her,
you're a fan of hers on Fox News and on
here on Wlaura Menti in the Morning. So Vicki Palladino,
(10:22):
she is absolutely one of a kind, and she is
with us every Wednesday at this time, a massive quake
off Russia triggers tsunami evacuations from Hawaii to California. What
happened overnight? We're going to talk with ABC's Alex Stone
in Los Angeles next. Plus we have tickets to see
(10:43):
the Outlaw Music Festival featuring Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan.

Pacific off the shores of Russia is causing tsunami warnings
and tsunami advisories in America up and down the coast
from Alaska to San Diego and especially in Hawaii. Let's
get the latest on that now from Alex Stone from
ABC News in Los Angeles. Alex, what is the latest
(11:53):
This is hitting Hawaii right now?
Speaker 7 (11:55):
Yeah, it has been overnight, Larry, And luckily now it
seems like the worst of it is over. People are
being allowed to go home. They have been overnight. And
the big what you would think of wall of water
like in Fukushima and twenty eleven or in Southeast Asia
in two thousand and four that never really materialized, but
the concern was that it was going to be something
like that because this quake was so big, one of
(12:16):
the biggest on record, and the type of quake that
it was that it could have created the big, massive
surges of water coming in and that just didn't materialize. Still,
there are advisories that are up and watches and warnings
that are up. They're probably going to be up for
at least today, if not a couple of days because
of concerns about just weird wave activity and tides it
(12:38):
could be coming in. But for the most part now
life is kind of returning to normal. They evacuated all
the coastal areas of Hawaii, and there were the warnings
in here in California. But we found this guy in
Marina del Ray this morning, so it was kind of
cool to watch the tide, but that was about it.
Speaker 8 (12:52):
I don't think we saw much of a title wave,
but we have seen a lot of surge going in
and then immediatelysing course and going right back out to
the sea. So it's pretty interesting to see something like that,
to see the tide shifts so quickly.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
So Larry, the one unknown here is because sensors have
been picking up humans haven't really seen it. It hasn't
been that big. Of the waves coming in haven't been
that big, but sensors have been picking up three four
or five foot quote unquote tsunami waves that have been
coming in overnight in some areas. So when the sun
comes up in Hawaii and I don't know, three more
hours and here in California another hour, So there's going
(13:28):
to be damage assessments that are going to have to
be done, and there might be some. At this point,
we don't know of any damage. Nobody's reported anything, nothing
has been seen and told to the government. But in
places like Crescent City in far northern California, which is
right up by the Oregon border, just their geography they're
prone to every couple of years, they have small tsunamis
that have damage from earthquakes out in the Pacific, they
(13:51):
may have something. We don't know of anything yet. But
at this point it's kind of waiting for the sun
to come up and see if any of these waves
did anything.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Alec Stone, ABC News Angeles, Thanks so much, Alex, thanks
for checking in. Let's sneak in a couple of talkbacks
Manty in the morning.
Speaker 9 (14:07):
Gil from Jersey, I want to know how Solma can
get from Las Vegas to New York park their car,
get out, pick up their gun and carry it like
a suitcase. And nobody says anything. If that was Florida
or Texas, five people would have taken him out at
least I can almost guarantee it.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Well.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
One thing is, I think he hid the gun when
he was in the car and when he got out
of the car and double park. That's why he double parked.
It was so close to the building. He didn't care
if anybody saw him. Obviously he was. He was displaying
it for all to see, and you saw that on
the video cameras. So I don't think he cared about
that at all.
Speaker 10 (14:47):
I remember New Yorker, can't place his name, but he
broadcasts from California, and his line was, liberalism is a
mental disease. It is proof in the world in Glynn,
France that liberalism is truly a mental disease.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I love that guy's voice. He's called a couple of times.
That's Bob Grant, Michael Savage, Michael Savage, Crash. I trust
you so much, you whispered Bob Grant in my ear.
I trust you.
Speaker 11 (15:20):
It sounds like something Bob would have said, so he
could have originated it, all right, Sore, But the California
thing I think is savage.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Everybody's right everybody gets apprised. On Jacqueline Carl with the
eight thirty News. Good Morning, Jacqueline, Hey Larry, Good morning.
Speaker 11 (15:33):
Investigators are looking into a second note written by the
gunman who killed four people and then himself inside of
Midtown Manhattan building on Monday.
Speaker 12 (15:42):
There are reports the second note, located at Shane Tomorrow's
Las Vegas home, was an apology to his parents, and
he indicated he felt like a disappointment to them. Investigators
believe Tomorrow's first note indicated he was targeting the NFL.
The mayor, Eric Adams says he took the wrong set
of elevators and ended up on a different floor NFL headquarters. Tomorrow,
a youth football player, claimed in that note he suffered
(16:04):
from a brain disease CTE and blame the NFL. I'm
staff Fringle WR News.
Speaker 11 (16:09):
And the Federal Reserve announces later today whether it will
cut interest rates. President Trump has been putting pressure on
Fed chairs your own Powell to cut rates, but most
investors are expecting the Central Bank will hold them steady.
Speaker 13 (16:23):
Now.
Speaker 11 (16:23):
According to Talking Points, there are a few moments in
life that are truly unforgettable, and a new surveys highlighting them.
They include holding your newborn for the first time and
holding a key to your first home for the first time.
According to the survey, people experience five unforgettable moments a year,
and seventy six percent think these once in a lifetime
(16:45):
experiences help shape who we are. What are some of
your most unforgettable moments?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
You know what, I have so many, but I'll tell
you what. The one that hit home was when you
said holding a newborn for the first time. I can
remember every single I have four kids, and I remember
every single one of those like it was yesterday, because
it is so special. You know what's funny about it
When you hold a newborn for the first time, When
it's your child, there's an immediate connection. You feel it.
(17:15):
There's something you feel immediately.
Speaker 11 (17:18):
And I bet it helps shape who you are as
a person based on like, Okay, now this is something
I this is something other than me that I'm more
concerned about.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Absolutely, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 11 (17:29):
Others are watching your baby take their first steps, the
last Goodbodey well love one, your child's first day of school,
falling in love for the first time, being proposed to

rest of your life with is really one because you
sometimes know right away. Yeah, I mean it was driving.

need to do something with her life.
Speaker 11 (18:14):
I just want to drive with French fries.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
That's it.
Speaker 8 (18:17):
Yeah, that's a good life and it's you know what,
that's completely achievable.

course for the last two days, which will be the
top story for some time right now, is the Park
Avenue mass shooting and ABC has their best on it.
Josh Margolin is chief investigative reporter for ABC News right
(20:09):
here in New York. And Josh, I'm just going to
hand it over to you. What's the latest on the investigation.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
So, Larry, teams from the NYPD are in Las Vegas.
They're at the home of the suspect. You know, the
investigation is going on in both places, New York and Vegas,
because that's where he was from, and they're trying to
get all the information they can gather. The truth is
it still has not moved in terms of the big headlines.
(20:36):
This is somebody who was in an extreme psychiatric emergency,
gets into gets a gun with two guns, gets into
a car, drives with purpose across the country very very quickly,
gets to New York. He's obviously aiming for the NFL headquarters.
They're in that building on Park and he tries to
get up there and he shoots his way in.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
You know, what was amazing to me is how much
they knew about this man immediately right after the shooting.
They knew how he drove there, they knew where he
was from. They had so much information at their fingertips.
This is the new crime investigation scenario that we can
get information instantaneously, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Well yes and no. So part of it is just
the modern technology, like you're talking about. You know there,
you can the cars that we drive are all like
moving computers, so they can track. And we have our
phones and we know that you know, find my phone
and the other apps. So the phones you know, give
a digital breadcrumbs of where we've been. But additionally, it's
(21:42):
clear that this is not somebody who's some sort of
criminal mastermind who's trying to rain down terror on New
York and hide his tracks, because he didn't hide his tracks.
Everything was right there. In fact, he in some ways
wants us from beyond the grave to know all of this.
He had a note on his person, he left a
note at his home in Vegas. He was driving his
(22:05):
own vehicle, he had his phones with him, he had
his concealed carry permit with him. You know all of
these things. I mean, the pictures that are going wrong.
I'm sure you saw it yesterday one hundred times. They
had the concealed carry permit in his wallet. You know,
the reason why we see it is because the cops
went to the body, they grabbed the wallet out of
his pocket, or they went to the car and grabbed
the wallet out of the car, they opened it up
and take a picture.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Yeah, he obviously wanted to be known and he wanted
to know. He wanted everybody to know why he was
doing this. But you said he's no criminal mastermind. One
of the reasons he was on nobody's radar is because
he is no criminal at all. He wasn't somebody anybody
was looking at. And that's a little bit frightening that
there's people out there that the police don't even know about,
(22:49):
aren't being investigated at all, that all of a sudden,
like this guy can just snap.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
That's absolutely the story. I agree with you one hundred percent.
The truth is that you know, if there are four
hundred million guns in the country, and this is not
to be a gun control kind of thing, but if
there are four hundred million guns in the country and
there's x number of people by statistics who are either
prone to committing violence or are are going to have
some sort of psychiatric problem, then we are going to
(23:16):
see what we have been seeing. And we're now living
through a summer of terrible acts of violence committed against
innocent people all over the place Walmart over the weekend
in Michigan. We had the episode with the church in
Kentucky two weeks ago. I mean, we can actually used
to be the you plot the summer based on the
(23:36):
number of days you went to the beach. You plot
the summer this year on the number of mass shootings
or mass violence attacks you've had around the country.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I know we're limiting around time, Josh So, but I
do want to ask you about the gun because there
apparently is an investigation in how he got this gun.
He put it together himself, but he got parts from others, right, yeah,
he got a couple.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
Of pieces from a friend of his. But again, there's
nothing you know, even if he got the gun, and
even it's entirely possible without minimizing, it's entirely possible that
some of the things should have been registered, some of
the pieces, and you know, there's the issue of ghostguns
that we've all talked about, where things get purchased and
it can't be traced. But he had no record, like
you say, which means he could have walked into any
(24:18):
gun shot any gun shot in the country, certainly in Nevada,
and bought a gun. You know. The irony is he
had a concealed carry permit for the handgun that was
in the car, and the handgun wasn't used in the crime.
He was carrying a high powered rifle and that was
perfectly legal, so he could have gotten the gun. So
(24:38):
they're going to try to find all these things, and
they're going to have we all know the NYPD, there's
going to be a point by point by point after
action kind of TikTok that says everything. But without a
criminal record, without a documented history of having been committed
institutionalized for periods of time for psychiatric problems, he was
(24:59):
not barred by law from getting the guns. And he
had the guns, and he obviously had a car, and
he drove and he double parked.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
So he didn't have to go through all that to
put together a gun. Josh Marglin, Chief investigative reporter, ABC News,
appreciate your time, Josh, thank you, great day, you too.
I'll tell you what what he just talked about is
absolutely scary, and so this isn't This guy never committed
a crime. Everybody knows him, says he's the nicest guy
in the world. He just snapped, but he did enough
(25:32):
to plan something because he wanted to put together this gun,
thinking for some reason that would clear him. But he
didn't have to. But then again, he's has this history
of mental illness. He snapped and then decided to ride
all the way across the country to try to kill
someone from the NFL who had nothing to do with
(25:53):
his CTE as Mayor Adam says, he never played in
the NFL. He never got a sniff of the NFL.
And the NFL has been out in front on CTEs
and concussions. They haven't hidden this. As a matter of fact,
it probably came into all the things that are happening
right now when it comes to CTEs. Came into fruition
(26:15):
because the investigation into the NFL and the fact that
they had to pay out millions and millions of dollars.
That's why everybody knows this. That's why it came into
the public consciousness. But it doesn't matter because none of
that has to make sense. His life doesn't have to
make sense. That's what's so scary about it that there
(26:38):
are people out there that are ticking time bombs our
biggest crime problem in this country. They're not guns. This
mental illness, mental illness that needs to be treated because
we're going to have this happen time and time and
time again, and it doesn't matter the manner of how
(27:00):
they do it. It could be bombs as seen in
the past. It can be night things as we've seen
in the past. It can be a car, somebody riding
a car into the crowd of the people, which we've
seen over and over again in the last few years especially,
it's become the weapon of choice of the crazies, the
(27:21):
car they're in. It's a little bit frightening. It's a
little bit frightening that there's a lot of people not
on our radar that should be well after the Park
Avenue mass shooting. I'm sorry to scare people even more,
but how safe do New Yorkers feel at work? WRS
(27:41):
Natalie Migliori gets the Beat on the Street next.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
Now it's sevent ten WARS Beat on the Street with
Natalie Migliore.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Well, I know everybody thought it after the mass shooting
on Park Avenue. How safe am I at work? Natalie
Migliore asks people directly, and are a beat on the street?
Speaker 14 (28:06):
Natalie, Yeah, Good morning, Larry More. Details really continue surfacing
as law enforcement pieced together the shooting at the office
building on Park Avenue in midtown Manhattan on Monday. It
comes after a vigil was held last night for the
four people who were killed as a result, including a
Blackstone executive and an off duey MIYPD police officer. Really, Larry,
(28:30):
New Yorker is all impacted by it in different ways.
Speaker 15 (28:33):
Mansitlytch fuck Avenue. Wow, you don't get nothing like that
happen on buck Ablue.
Speaker 16 (28:38):
My friend who is right around the corner from her home,
and she was just worried about her son.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
I'm like, he's okay, he's in the gym. He's fine.
You don't go out, you stay there. Sat Bart says,
that's where I go to church. It's right next door.
Speaker 13 (28:50):
My next door neighbor is a receptionist at Blackstone, so
people will immediately.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Thinking, who's in there. Root's in there, black Son's in there,
NFL's there.
Speaker 13 (29:00):
So I'm a liar. I practice law with Roger Goodell's
brother long time ago. It all feels very at.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Home almost in any building that you find. Though you
can find that.
Speaker 14 (29:11):
Right, it's sort of too close to home feeling. The
suspected shooter game Gamera could be seen holding an assault
style rifle while walking into the Alfice Tower at around
six thirty Monday night. New Yorkers really have similar questions.
Speaker 16 (29:26):
How is that man able to walk with that such
a long rifle? If you see from what I've seen
in the news, he really walked around with that big machine.
So somebody should have definitely stopped him way before he got.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
There that time that he did that.
Speaker 15 (29:42):
Everybody getting no works in rush out, But that guy'
stoo was like two free.
Speaker 10 (29:45):
Come on man, Nobody see that.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Dude doing that.
Speaker 15 (29:47):
Nobody's see that dude walking in there with that. Come
on man, young generation and stuff. You know, they just
looney tuned man.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (29:55):
The twenty seven year old suspected shooter grew up a
competitive football player out west, and several sources relay a
suicide note down in his pocket. Reportedly mentioned issues with
the NFL and living with CTE. The incident once again
sparking debate on mental health and gun control.
Speaker 16 (30:14):
It's mental health that goes unaddressed. So gun control, yes,
but I think that that man definitely needed some professional help.
Speaker 13 (30:23):
That's not the problem. There's mental health issues everywhere all
over the world. There's you know, psychiatrists and psychologiists, so
you could deal with it.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
It always happens here because we have the guns. You
got it tough enough on both.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
It happen to anyone anytime, any place. You know, There's
only so much you could do to prevent those kind
of events.
Speaker 14 (30:42):
Yeah, and at the same time when it comes to
security at work. That's really the question that launched this story. Loarry,
could more have been done.
Speaker 13 (30:51):
This country's just gun nuts, So that guy shouldn't have
he shouldn't have had a gun, and those guns shouldn't
exist in our country. But workplace safety, I mean there's
police everywhere here and there's security guards everywhere, So it's a.
Speaker 16 (31:04):
Guns you know, it does have you worried about the
safety in the workplace, especially even when there are measures
in place such as security guards. You would think that
you're safer there. But even the first line of defense,
which was a police officer, he didn't even get a
chance to draw his weapon.
Speaker 10 (31:20):
We missed a question both like safety in the workplace.
Gunlow's got to be a little bit tougher.
Speaker 6 (31:25):
Out here.
Speaker 14 (31:27):
Now the New York City Medical Examiner's Office, Telsey, and
then the suspected gunman's brain is actually going to be
studied for ct E Lowly. But again, this feeling of security,
you know, I think heid the security guard every morning
when I walk into the building, and iHeartRadio. So where
how do we feel when we walk into these buildings
and there are people too, and we're all coworkers so
(31:52):
I think that everybody kind of this morning on the
streets going into the office, just sort of reflecting on
it in a sense.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Yeah, absolutely, Natalie and I were talking about it as well.
Immediately you start thinking about how secure is mine building?
What do I we have enough security? And I'm sure
that's what's happening all across Manhattan and by the way,
probably across the country as well. I think everybody questions it,
but I think the answer is a madman with a
(32:23):
gun is going to be able to get where he
wants to go. Most of the time. There's very little
we can do that building. By the way, they were
prepared for this. They had drills, they had they had
safe spaces, they had they had rooms that were bulletproof
you could go into. They they were prepared for this,
and look still happened to them.
Speaker 14 (32:45):
Right, you're prepared until you're not in a sense. So
it's yes, it's you know, it's a shame really, but.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
You can only do so much. That's the that's the
lesson of it all. Yeah, you can only do so much.
Thanks so much, Natalie Migliori. I'm glad you're back. Natalie
Migliori is going to be back again tomorrow with her
beat on the street at eight point fifty. Well, what
is CTE and can it cause a person to go
(33:16):
on a mass shooting? We'll talk with a man who
studies CTEs for a living, coming up after the nine
o'clock news
Hey, thanks so much for joining us this morning. I
know you have a lot of choices and you choose us,
which means the world to us. Also, if you get
a chance, leave us a talk back about anything that
we talk about today. We have Vicky Palladino coming up.
If you've been reading her tweets, that is going to
be really fascinating. Well, a vigil was held in Brian
(00:22):
Park that leads off our Big three today. It was
to mourn the four victims of the Park Avenue mass shooting,
but our tone death Governor Kathy Hochel decided to infuse
politics and bring up gun control.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
This is the time to stand up and say no
more slaughter by a weapon of mass destruction designed to
kill people on the battlefield, not in our buildings here
in the.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Great city of New York.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
By the way, do you mind Era mus Sen yep?
By the way, did you notice that she uh brings
her own hype people all the time. Every time she's
in the subway, she's surrounded by people. They're gonna plaud
about everything she says, which is really a sign of
insecurity because if people aren't going to clap, they're not
going to clap so she makes sure she brings her
(01:09):
own laugh track, and she brings her own applause track
all the time. Look, you cannot reelect this woman. She's
been a complete embarrassment. A tsunami hits Hawaii, but luckily
it wasn't as bad as predicted, or so we thought,
(01:30):
and the tsunami warning has been downgraded to a tsunami advisory.
A tsunami advisory means that the potential for strong currents
or dangerous waves are expected or occurring for those in
or near the water. They're may be flooding a beach
or harbor areas. You know, I said as or so
we thought a moment ago, because breaking news came over
(01:51):
just as I was reading that that a wave, a
tsunami wave of five feet hit Maui. That was just reported.
We'll keep a track on that, and if there is
any damage or there's any real problems because of the tsunami,
we'll have it during this show. Remember how controversial the
offshore wind turbines were off the coast of New Jersey,
(02:14):
New York, and Connecticut. Well, guess what, thanks to Donald Trump,
not anymore.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
We will not allow a windmill to be built in
the United States.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
They're killing us.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
They're killing the beauty of our scenery, our valleys, our
beautiful planes. And you look up and you see windmills
all over the place. It's a horrible thing. It's the
most expensive form of energy.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
It's no good. The situation of gods that continues to
get worse in the United States is now sending cargo
planes packed with food. So we sent sixty million dollars.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
It's a lot of money for food, a lot of
money that can take care of people for a long time,
and we want to make sure it's going to be
it's being spent properly.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
And part of the spending is the distribution. So all
those pans full of food or going over to Israel
and Gaza and flying back now from Uganda is Zurin Mamdani,
Democratic mayoral nominee in the race for mayor. You know,
the man, the everyday man of the people, the man
(03:16):
who's trying to make things more affordable for him and
for all New Yorkers. He's flying back from his family's
multi million dollar compound where he by the way, he
had heavy heavy security, armed guards, twenty of them, and
three gates, you know, to protect him and his family,
even though he wants less police here. That is the
(03:39):
reason that I was so excited to talk to Vicki
Palladino today because I've been reading her tweets and she's
been saying more vociferously than I just put it basically
the same thing Vicki have at it zorin Mamdani has
a huge party in both Dubai and Uganda.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Yes, isn't he something else? What a hypocrite? Okay, I
mean we have just I mean the best is yet
to come, because when this soob comes home from Uganda,
there's a lot of stuff that he needs to answer for,
like his ridiculous pitifol disgusting, another hypocritical comment about what
(04:23):
happened with the police officer and how saddened he was
by it, with what happened the other evening, which was
a tragedy for New York and a tragedy for this
young police officer. Married two kids, one on the way
any day now. And this is really all for me,
but not for me. This is standard. This is his line.
(04:46):
We all know it. I mean, the idea that he
had actual cell phone scramblers okay, the house, the perimeter
of the house was gone over with bob wire fencing,
and he needed multi million dollar parents, his mother multimillion
dollar movie maker and all of that. Dubai and you Ganda, Okay,
(05:10):
this is this is absolutely absurd. You know, it's kind
of like why you watch Rome Burns. You're not here now,
if you're running for mayor of the greatest city in
the world and you're not there, it's the same way
the way Karen boss Uh, you know, the mayor of
Los Angeles, she was in Gania when the La fires
(05:31):
broke out, and we all know how that's going. And
it's still yet. People haven't seen a nicol or are
dying to rebuild. We've got a genuine tragedy here happening
in New York, unfolding right before our eyes in the
name of Zorant Mandabi okay a Mandani. And if we
(05:51):
don't stop this guy dead in his tracks, we are
going to be in such trouble. This is this is
the riding on the wall. I don't know how much
more blatant people need to, how much he needs to
be more blatant for people to see exactly what's going
on here. I mean, this is absolutely horrific. Now let's
(06:13):
remember too, the SRG. What is SRG, the Strategic Strategic
Response Group. They are the first group of people from
the specialty forces from the police NYPD, best police department
in the nation, possibly in the world. Okay, and they
are called, you know, to this scene first, as they
(06:36):
are always called. This guy wants them and has said
they are calling for the SRG to be dismantled. So
one of the first things you're going to do is
to stand this. We have an issue.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Excuse me, Larry, No, don't worry about it. I agree
with everything you are saying. I think how and this
is the good news, councilwoman. The good news is that
the poll numbers show he's slipping in the polls. And
here's the here's one of the reasons. It's not only
in New York, it's the country. Everybody's talking about him,
(07:15):
and everybody he's almost you know, he's embarrassing to New
York City right now because everybody's aghast. And by the way,
the Republicans love it. They are they're talking about him
all the time. They want him to be the face
of the Democratic Party, which is why I think Democrats
are reluctant to endorse him.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Well, they should be reluctant to endorse him, because do
you really want the Democratic Party that I mean love
him or hate him years ago, to have the face
of AOC or this maniac as your as you're as
the new Democratic Party. No, the Democratic Party is so
fragmented at this particular time. They're trying to find their
(07:58):
own identity and they can't. They're in Quicksand you see
what they've done, Larry, is they through the indoctrination.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Of our education system.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
He's been going on for decades and decades. And I've
said this before and I'll stay it again. You know,
the chickens have come home to roosts. The unruly children
are now in charge, and you know what, they cannot
control what they actually have raised and brought up. So
now you've got the older Democrats the uh saying, and
(08:29):
the more secure Democrats distancing themselves from him. But is
it going to work? Because if this guy does become
the mayor of New York City, god forbid, and the
people do not come out and drove and vote, because
this is the only way this is preventable. We cannot
(08:49):
have a mayor's race where only a million people show up,
we cannot and if we do, he's sure sure to win.
Absolutely if we have millions of people, because I'll tell
you sadly, none of these none of these people, Adams, Cuomo, Curtis,
I'll go to step away from this so everybody needs
(09:11):
to face facts. This is going to be a split vote.
That's it. Where they're not going to go into a
room in September the way we all wish they would
and sit like gentlemen and grown ups and try to
figure out whoever's ahead in the poll. It's a must
beat Mangabi race. Okay, it's not going to happen, and
if it does, I'll be the first one to You'll
(09:33):
have to pick me up off the floor because no,
as it goes right now, do you actually see them
doing that?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
No, I do not see them. No, there's no way.
That egos are way too big and they've wanted this
for way too long. Vicky, thanks so much. I appreciated.
Vicky Palladino and New York City Council represents District nineteen
of Northeast Queens. I don't know if you don't follow
(10:00):
Vicki Palladino on Twitter, by the way, you should. It

you're a fan of hers on Fox News and on
here on Wlaura Menti in the Morning. So Vicki Palladino,
(10:22):
she is absolutely one of a kind, and she is
with us every Wednesday at this time, a massive quake
off Russia triggers tsunami evacuations from Hawaii to California. What
happened overnight? We're going to talk with ABC's Alex Stone
in Los Angeles next. Plus we have tickets to see
(10:43):
the Outlaw Music Festival featuring Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan.
So stay with us. Hey, we all remember that one

their hearts to help students succeed. Help us say thank
you and go to iHeartRadio dot com slash teachers to
(11:30):
nominate your favorite teacher. Today, a massive earthquake in the
Pacific off the shores of Russia is causing tsunami warnings
and tsunami advisories in America up and down the coast
from Alaska to San Diego and especially in Hawaii. Let's
get the latest on that now from Alex Stone from
ABC News in Los Angeles. Alex, what is the latest
(11:53):
This is hitting Hawaii right now?
Speaker 7 (11:55):
Yeah, it has been overnight, Larry, And luckily now it
seems like the worst of it is over. People are
being allowed to go home. They have been overnight. And
the big what you would think of wall of water
like in Fukushima and twenty eleven or in Southeast Asia
in two thousand and four that never really materialized, but
the concern was that it was going to be something
like that because this quake was so big, one of
(12:16):
the biggest on record, and the type of quake that
it was that it could have created the big, massive
surges of water coming in and that just didn't materialize. Still,
there are advisories that are up and watches and warnings
that are up. They're probably going to be up for
at least today, if not a couple of days because
of concerns about just weird wave activity and tides it
(12:38):
could be coming in. But for the most part now
life is kind of returning to normal. They evacuated all
the coastal areas of Hawaii, and there were the warnings
in here in California. But we found this guy in
Marina del Ray this morning, so it was kind of
cool to watch the tide, but that was about it.
Speaker 8 (12:52):
I don't think we saw much of a title wave,
but we have seen a lot of surge going in
and then immediatelysing course and going right back out to
the sea. So it's pretty interesting to see something like that,
to see the tide shifts so quickly.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
So Larry, the one unknown here is because sensors have
been picking up humans haven't really seen it. It hasn't
been that big. Of the waves coming in haven't been
that big, but sensors have been picking up three four
or five foot quote unquote tsunami waves that have been
coming in overnight in some areas. So when the sun
comes up in Hawaii and I don't know, three more
hours and here in California another hour, So there's going
(13:28):
to be damage assessments that are going to have to
be done, and there might be some. At this point,
we don't know of any damage. Nobody's reported anything, nothing
has been seen and told to the government. But in
places like Crescent City in far northern California, which is
right up by the Oregon border, just their geography they're
prone to every couple of years, they have small tsunamis
that have damage from earthquakes out in the Pacific, they
(13:51):
may have something. We don't know of anything yet. But
at this point it's kind of waiting for the sun
to come up and see if any of these waves
did anything.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Alec Stone, ABC News Angeles, Thanks so much, Alex, thanks
for checking in. Let's sneak in a couple of talkbacks
Manty in the morning.
Speaker 9 (14:07):
Gil from Jersey, I want to know how Solma can
get from Las Vegas to New York park their car,
get out, pick up their gun and carry it like
a suitcase. And nobody says anything. If that was Florida
or Texas, five people would have taken him out at
least I can almost guarantee it.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Well.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
One thing is, I think he hid the gun when
he was in the car and when he got out
of the car and double park. That's why he double parked.
It was so close to the building. He didn't care
if anybody saw him. Obviously he was. He was displaying
it for all to see, and you saw that on
the video cameras. So I don't think he cared about
that at all.
Speaker 10 (14:47):
I remember New Yorker, can't place his name, but he
broadcasts from California, and his line was, liberalism is a
mental disease. It is proof in the world in Glynn,
France that liberalism is truly a mental disease.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I love that guy's voice. He's called a couple of times.
That's Bob Grant, Michael Savage, Michael Savage, Crash. I trust
you so much, you whispered Bob Grant in my ear.
I trust you.
Speaker 11 (15:20):
It sounds like something Bob would have said, so he
could have originated it, all right, Sore, But the California
thing I think is savage.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Everybody's right everybody gets apprised. On Jacqueline Carl with the
eight thirty News. Good Morning, Jacqueline, Hey Larry, Good morning.
Speaker 11 (15:33):
Investigators are looking into a second note written by the
gunman who killed four people and then himself inside of
Midtown Manhattan building on Monday.
Speaker 12 (15:42):
There are reports the second note, located at Shane Tomorrow's
Las Vegas home, was an apology to his parents, and
he indicated he felt like a disappointment to them. Investigators
believe Tomorrow's first note indicated he was targeting the NFL.
The mayor, Eric Adams says he took the wrong set
of elevators and ended up on a different floor NFL headquarters. Tomorrow,
a youth football player, claimed in that note he suffered
(16:04):
from a brain disease CTE and blame the NFL. I'm
staff Fringle WR News.
Speaker 11 (16:09):
And the Federal Reserve announces later today whether it will
cut interest rates. President Trump has been putting pressure on
Fed chairs your own Powell to cut rates, but most
investors are expecting the Central Bank will hold them steady.
Speaker 13 (16:23):
Now.
Speaker 11 (16:23):
According to Talking Points, there are a few moments in
life that are truly unforgettable, and a new surveys highlighting them.
They include holding your newborn for the first time and
holding a key to your first home for the first time.
According to the survey, people experience five unforgettable moments a year,
and seventy six percent think these once in a lifetime
(16:45):
experiences help shape who we are. What are some of
your most unforgettable moments?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
You know what, I have so many, but I'll tell
you what. The one that hit home was when you
said holding a newborn for the first time. I can
remember every single I have four kids, and I remember
every single one of those like it was yesterday, because
it is so special. You know what's funny about it
When you hold a newborn for the first time, When
it's your child, there's an immediate connection. You feel it.
(17:15):
There's something you feel immediately.
Speaker 11 (17:18):
And I bet it helps shape who you are as
a person based on like, Okay, now this is something
I this is something other than me that I'm more
concerned about.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Absolutely, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 11 (17:29):
Others are watching your baby take their first steps, the
last Goodbodey well love one, your child's first day of school,
falling in love for the first time, being proposed to

top story for some time right now, is the Park
Avenue mass shooting and ABC has their best on it.
Josh Margolin is chief investigative reporter for ABC News right
(20:09):
here in New York. And Josh, I'm just going to
hand it over to you. What's the latest on the investigation.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
So, Larry, teams from the NYPD are in Las Vegas.
They're at the home of the suspect. You know, the
investigation is going on in both places, New York and Vegas,
because that's where he was from, and they're trying to
get all the information they can gather. The truth is
it still has not moved in terms of the big headlines.
(20:36):
This is somebody who was in an extreme psychiatric emergency,
gets into gets a gun with two guns, gets into
a car, drives with purpose across the country very very quickly,
gets to New York. He's obviously aiming for the NFL headquarters.
They're in that building on Park and he tries to
get up there and he shoots his way in.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
You know, what was amazing to me is how much
they knew about this man immediately right after the shooting.
They knew how he drove there, they knew where he
was from. They had so much information at their fingertips.
This is the new crime investigation scenario that we can
get information instantaneously, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Well yes and no. So part of it is just
the modern technology, like you're talking about. You know there,
you can the cars that we drive are all like
moving computers, so they can track. And we have our
phones and we know that you know, find my phone
and the other apps. So the phones you know, give
a digital breadcrumbs of where we've been. But additionally, it's
(21:42):
clear that this is not somebody who's some sort of
criminal mastermind who's trying to rain down terror on New
York and hide his tracks, because he didn't hide his tracks.
Everything was right there. In fact, he in some ways
wants us from beyond the grave to know all of this.
He had a note on his person, he left a
note at his home in Vegas. He was driving his
(22:05):
own vehicle, he had his phones with him, he had
his concealed carry permit with him. You know all of
these things. I mean, the pictures that are going wrong.
I'm sure you saw it yesterday one hundred times. They
had the concealed carry permit in his wallet. You know,
the reason why we see it is because the cops
went to the body, they grabbed the wallet out of
his pocket, or they went to the car and grabbed
the wallet out of the car, they opened it up
and take a picture.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Yeah, he obviously wanted to be known and he wanted
to know. He wanted everybody to know why he was
doing this. But you said he's no criminal mastermind. One
of the reasons he was on nobody's radar is because
he is no criminal at all. He wasn't somebody anybody
was looking at. And that's a little bit frightening that
there's people out there that the police don't even know about,
(22:49):
aren't being investigated at all, that all of a sudden,
like this guy can just snap.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
That's absolutely the story. I agree with you one hundred percent.
The truth is that you know, if there are four
hundred million guns in the country, and this is not
to be a gun control kind of thing, but if
there are four hundred million guns in the country and
there's x number of people by statistics who are either
prone to committing violence or are are going to have
some sort of psychiatric problem, then we are going to
(23:16):
see what we have been seeing. And we're now living
through a summer of terrible acts of violence committed against
innocent people all over the place Walmart over the weekend
in Michigan. We had the episode with the church in
Kentucky two weeks ago. I mean, we can actually used
to be the you plot the summer based on the
(23:36):
number of days you went to the beach. You plot
the summer this year on the number of mass shootings
or mass violence attacks you've had around the country.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I know we're limiting around time, Josh So, but I
do want to ask you about the gun because there
apparently is an investigation in how he got this gun.
He put it together himself, but he got parts from others, right, yeah,
he got a couple.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
Of pieces from a friend of his. But again, there's
nothing you know, even if he got the gun, and
even it's entirely possible without minimizing, it's entirely possible that
some of the things should have been registered, some of
the pieces, and you know, there's the issue of ghostguns
that we've all talked about, where things get purchased and
it can't be traced. But he had no record, like
you say, which means he could have walked into any
(24:18):
gun shot any gun shot in the country, certainly in Nevada,
and bought a gun. You know. The irony is he
had a concealed carry permit for the handgun that was
in the car, and the handgun wasn't used in the crime.
He was carrying a high powered rifle and that was
perfectly legal, so he could have gotten the gun. So
(24:38):
they're going to try to find all these things, and
they're going to have we all know the NYPD, there's
going to be a point by point by point after
action kind of TikTok that says everything. But without a
criminal record, without a documented history of having been committed
institutionalized for periods of time for psychiatric problems, he was
(24:59):
not barred by law from getting the guns. And he
had the guns, and he obviously had a car, and
he drove and he double parked.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
So he didn't have to go through all that to
put together a gun. Josh Marglin, Chief investigative reporter, ABC News,
appreciate your time, Josh, thank you, great day, you too.
I'll tell you what what he just talked about is
absolutely scary, and so this isn't This guy never committed
a crime. Everybody knows him, says he's the nicest guy
in the world. He just snapped, but he did enough
(25:32):
to plan something because he wanted to put together this gun,
thinking for some reason that would clear him. But he
didn't have to. But then again, he's has this history
of mental illness. He snapped and then decided to ride
all the way across the country to try to kill
someone from the NFL who had nothing to do with
(25:53):
his CTE as Mayor Adam says, he never played in
the NFL. He never got a sniff of the NFL.
And the NFL has been out in front on CTEs
and concussions. They haven't hidden this. As a matter of fact,
it probably came into all the things that are happening
right now when it comes to CTEs. Came into fruition
(26:15):
because the investigation into the NFL and the fact that
they had to pay out millions and millions of dollars.
That's why everybody knows this. That's why it came into
the public consciousness. But it doesn't matter because none of
that has to make sense. His life doesn't have to
make sense. That's what's so scary about it that there
(26:38):
are people out there that are ticking time bombs our
biggest crime problem in this country. They're not guns. This
mental illness, mental illness that needs to be treated because
we're going to have this happen time and time and
time again, and it doesn't matter the manner of how
(27:00):
they do it. It could be bombs as seen in
the past. It can be night things as we've seen
in the past. It can be a car, somebody riding
a car into the crowd of the people, which we've
seen over and over again in the last few years especially,
it's become the weapon of choice of the crazies, the
(27:21):
car they're in. It's a little bit frightening. It's a
little bit frightening that there's a lot of people not
on our radar that should be well after the Park
Avenue mass shooting. I'm sorry to scare people even more,
but how safe do New Yorkers feel at work? WRS
(27:41):
Natalie Migliori gets the Beat on the Street next.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
Now it's sevent ten WARS Beat on the Street with
Natalie Migliore.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Well, I know everybody thought it after the mass shooting
on Park Avenue. How safe am I at work? Natalie
Migliore asks people directly, and are a beat on the street?
Speaker 14 (28:06):
Natalie, Yeah, Good morning, Larry More. Details really continue surfacing
as law enforcement pieced together the shooting at the office
building on Park Avenue in midtown Manhattan on Monday. It
comes after a vigil was held last night for the
four people who were killed as a result, including a
Blackstone executive and an off duey MIYPD police officer. Really, Larry,
(28:30):
New Yorker is all impacted by it in different ways.
Speaker 15 (28:33):
Mansitlytch fuck Avenue. Wow, you don't get nothing like that
happen on buck Ablue.
Speaker 16 (28:38):
My friend who is right around the corner from her home,
and she was just worried about her son.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
I'm like, he's okay, he's in the gym. He's fine.
You don't go out, you stay there. Sat Bart says,
that's where I go to church. It's right next door.
Speaker 13 (28:50):
My next door neighbor is a receptionist at Blackstone, so
people will immediately.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Thinking, who's in there. Root's in there, black Son's in there,
NFL's there.
Speaker 13 (29:00):
So I'm a liar. I practice law with Roger Goodell's
brother long time ago. It all feels very at.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Home almost in any building that you find. Though you
can find that.
Speaker 14 (29:11):
Right, it's sort of too close to home feeling. The
suspected shooter game Gamera could be seen holding an assault
style rifle while walking into the Alfice Tower at around
six thirty Monday night. New Yorkers really have similar questions.
Speaker 16 (29:26):
How is that man able to walk with that such
a long rifle? If you see from what I've seen
in the news, he really walked around with that big machine.
So somebody should have definitely stopped him way before he got.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
There that time that he did that.
Speaker 15 (29:42):
Everybody getting no works in rush out, But that guy'
stoo was like two free.
Speaker 10 (29:45):
Come on man, Nobody see that.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Dude doing that.
Speaker 15 (29:47):
Nobody's see that dude walking in there with that. Come
on man, young generation and stuff. You know, they just
looney tuned man.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (29:55):
The twenty seven year old suspected shooter grew up a
competitive football player out west, and several sources relay a
suicide note down in his pocket. Reportedly mentioned issues with
the NFL and living with CTE. The incident once again
sparking debate on mental health and gun control.
Speaker 16 (30:14):
It's mental health that goes unaddressed. So gun control, yes,
but I think that that man definitely needed some professional help.
Speaker 13 (30:23):
That's not the problem. There's mental health issues everywhere all
over the world. There's you know, psychiatrists and psychologiists, so
you could deal with it.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
It always happens here because we have the guns. You
got it tough enough on both.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
It happen to anyone anytime, any place. You know, There's
only so much you could do to prevent those kind
of events.
Speaker 14 (30:42):
Yeah, and at the same time when it comes to
security at work. That's really the question that launched this story. Loarry,
could more have been done.
Speaker 13 (30:51):
This country's just gun nuts, So that guy shouldn't have
he shouldn't have had a gun, and those guns shouldn't
exist in our country. But workplace safety, I mean there's
police everywhere here and there's security guards everywhere, So it's a.
Speaker 16 (31:04):
Guns you know, it does have you worried about the
safety in the workplace, especially even when there are measures
in place such as security guards. You would think that
you're safer there. But even the first line of defense,
which was a police officer, he didn't even get a
chance to draw his weapon.
Speaker 10 (31:20):
We missed a question both like safety in the workplace.
Gunlow's got to be a little bit tougher.
Speaker 6 (31:25):
Out here.
Speaker 14 (31:27):
Now the New York City Medical Examiner's Office, Telsey, and
then the suspected gunman's brain is actually going to be
studied for ct E Lowly. But again, this feeling of security,
you know, I think heid the security guard every morning
when I walk into the building, and iHeartRadio. So where
how do we feel when we walk into these buildings
and there are people too, and we're all coworkers so
(31:52):
I think that everybody kind of this morning on the
streets going into the office, just sort of reflecting on
it in a sense.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Yeah, absolutely, Natalie and I were talking about it as well.
Immediately you start thinking about how secure is mine building?
What do I we have enough security? And I'm sure
that's what's happening all across Manhattan and by the way,
probably across the country as well. I think everybody questions it,
but I think the answer is a madman with a
(32:23):
gun is going to be able to get where he
wants to go. Most of the time. There's very little
we can do that building. By the way, they were
prepared for this. They had drills, they had they had
safe spaces, they had they had rooms that were bulletproof
you could go into. They they were prepared for this,
and look still happened to them.
Speaker 14 (32:45):
Right, you're prepared until you're not in a sense. So
it's yes, it's you know, it's a shame really, but.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
You can only do so much. That's the that's the
lesson of it all. Yeah, you can only do so much.
Thanks so much, Natalie Migliori. I'm glad you're back. Natalie
Migliori is going to be back again tomorrow with her
beat on the street at eight point fifty. Well, what
is CTE and can it cause a person to go
(33:16):
on a mass shooting? We'll talk with a man who
studies CTEs for a living, coming up after the nine
o'clock news
