Hour 3: Air traffic controllers

Air traffic controllers.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And good morning to you. It's great to spend the
morning with you. Thank you so much for listening. And
the Big Three? Did you see it? An explosive hearing
on Capitol Hill with senators, including the biggest liar of
them all, Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal trying over and over
again but failing to slime Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Senator Blumenthal, I.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Cannot believe that you would accuse me of impropriety when
you lied about your military service.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
I am youtor you lie?

Speaker 5 (00:41):
Dare you?

Speaker 6 (00:42):
I am a career prosecutor.

Speaker 5 (00:43):
Don't you ever challenge my integrity.

Speaker 7 (00:47):
I have abided my every ethics standard. That was fun.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
It was the first time ever I felt sorry for Bloominhallman.

Speaker 7 (00:55):
I didn't know why.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
I didn't know how to handle her. But that was
every senator that tried to take on and in the hearings.
Senator Josh Hawley calls for hearings. He calls for an investigation.
He wants prosecution of those in the Biden Justice Department
who have now been caught in writing targeting Catholics, targeting

(01:19):
school parents, and US senators.

Speaker 8 (01:21):
We've got nothing but concerns today, but no concern at
all for a Justice Department that is tapping the phones
of sitting United States senators because who knows why they
don't like them. They're members of the opposition party, they're Republicans,
their Conservatives.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, they taped Josh Howley's phone. He was one of them.
Tonight is the New Jersey Good editorial debate in a
race between Republican Jack Chitarellihi and Democrat Mikey Cheryl. That
poll's show right now is a dead heat.

Speaker 9 (01:54):
Both of these candidates really need to cater to that
median voter, those voters who are in the middle, independent, nonpartisan,
swing voters, whatever you want to call them. That's the
key really for either one of them to get over
the finish line.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
And how about those Yankees. They lived to fight another day.
They were down six to one after only two innings,
but they're superstar. Aaron Judge brought them back a strike pitch.
It's a drive Comeline perf experiences moments time. He has

(02:33):
arrived in a big way in a comeback win. The
Yankees beat the Blue Jays in the Bronx nine to six.
Game four is tonight. They have to win tonight. And
then they have to win in Toronto. And with that,
now let's get the J. C. Polonko, political analyst and
University of Mount Saint Vincent assistant professor. He is also

(02:53):
an attorney. Jac Are you a Yankees fan?

Speaker 2 (02:57):
I was a former Yankee back boy, believe that or not?
Nineteen ninety four and eighteen ninety five. Look it up?
Isn't that crazy?

Speaker 7 (03:03):
Wow? Nice?

Speaker 2 (03:05):
I'd bleed blue New York Yankees and Buffalo Bills.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
So who was on the team when you were there?
And were they nice to you?

Speaker 7 (03:12):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (03:13):
They were great guys here. In ninety four, I was
on the visiting side. In ninety five, I was on
the home side. We had Derek Jeters first year, who
Hipposada's first year? We had Darryl Strawberry on the team.
But you know, very few guys will ever be as
nice as Don Mattingly. That guy was just amazing. Everything
you've ever heard about Waite Bobs being a scary guy

(03:33):
is absolutely true.

Speaker 7 (03:36):
Why do you have a story.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Well, you know a few stories about chicken missing set
thought I ate it. I never touched it.

Speaker 7 (03:47):
He accused you of stealing his chicken.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Well about eating some of his chicken, and they never did.
I promise you. You know who was a tough cookie
as well. I thought he was a marina, a marine
of some kind. Was Paulo Neal, Paula Mills. She's a
nice day on the radio, But back of his plane,
Daisy a tough cookie.

Speaker 7 (04:04):
You were scared of him.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
I was planning only five V I wasn't under Patty
oh Man.

Speaker 7 (04:13):
We have to talk more about.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
I have some great stories. One day we'll get together.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Absolutely love to hear them. Right now, let's talk about politics.
It confuses me, it really does. And I heard you
on television last night talking about it. As a matter
of fact, I've been playing a little bit about what
you said. It's confusing to me that the polls show
almost half of the New York Jews are going to
vote for Zorin Mamdani, according to the polls. And yesterday

(04:42):
that statement he put out on October seventh, still supporting Gonza.
I mean, that's fine. He can support Ghaza and he
can call what's happening they're atrocious, Not on October seventh.
You don't do it on that day when you should
be talking about the horrendous things that happened to Jewish

(05:03):
citizens on that day, and he couldn't bring himself to
do that. To me, that's disqualifying. But I heard you
on the air. You don't think so.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Oh listen, nothing is disqualifying for this guy. I don't
know what it is. I mean. October seventh is a
day we think about those children that were murdered, the
babies that were murdered, We think about people putting people
being killed by the hamas terrorists, and we focus on
that day with attention, and we think about the lives
that were lost that day and know that there are

(05:33):
New Yorkers among us who have families and who can
connect with the group of people that were attacked in
such a manner, and just focus on that. He couldn't
do it. He couldn't do it because doing it would
hurt his base. Doing it would hurt his power base
in New York City. You have the people that are
supporting zura Umdani. You gotta some good people supporting him.
Let's get that out the way. We have some really

(05:55):
bad people that are supporting his campaign, people that want
to erase Israel. People have no problem with the phrase globalized.
The Intafada people who couldn't think twice about hurting Jewish
people and what they've gone through. And I don't think
that there's an ethnic group in New York City that
can be disrespected in this manner and not have to
pay a consequence and still have over fifty percent of
its own people supporting a candidate. I don't know whether

(06:17):
it's the hypnotizing that happens with the Mam Donnie smile.
I don't know what it is, but it's getting to
a point that wre I have to question what's happening here.
As they speak to some of my Jewish friends and
maybe can help me out here. They tell me Planco,
there's a major divide. We're not a monolith. They tell me.
We have young, old, we have practicing Jews, we have
non practicing Jews. We have people that can understand the

(06:37):
plight of Jews here in New York City and those
that are so far removed from it that they had forgotten.
And that explains a great deal the divide in the
polls that we see with Jewish support for sud Memmumdani.
And I mean, I just can't explain how I can't
imagine any other group that has gone through something like this,
To have a candidate running for mayor who doesn't focus

(06:58):
specifically on the hurt that the group of people have
gone through that day.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Well, thanks for that explanation, because that explains a lot
to me, because he's lied about everything else. He's lied
about everything. Everything he says he's going to do he
knows he can't do. And I thought, why didn't just
lie about this? Because he's great at that. He's great
at smiling and lying and lying about his every policy

(07:22):
he has. But what you just said makes a lot
of sense that he has to play to his bass.
So this is one thing he can hide and one
thing he can't lie about because it would be self defeating.
That makes a whole lot of sense.

Speaker 7 (07:38):
What are you? Go ahead? Go ahead? Do you want
to comment on that?

Speaker 10 (07:41):
Larry?

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, Larry, think about this. Let's say I'll meet Exampbell.
You know, we currently have a peace agreement on the
desk to finish what's happening in Israel. And I don't
think he could put himself in a position where he
thinks this would be a good idea. I don't think
he can come out and say, well, let's hope that
Hamas signs these documents and we get these high his
back because that would hurt his base. For example, Luigi Meggione,

(08:04):
who killed the father of two execution style in Manhattan.
If you were to come out and say something along
the lines of murder is not right, regardless of whatever
job you have, we should never condone murder for political speech.
If you were to say that, it will hurt his base.
He'll never say these things. And just like yesterday, he
won't just focus on the hurt of the Jewish people
on October seventh because it will hurt him with his base.
So he, you know, just figure out every aspect that

(08:27):
will hurt any group of people that are supporting his campaign.
He wouldn't absolutely never do anything that would hurt that support.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Every day I asked somebody, is there any chance this
guy is going to lose? And because I'm trying to
convince myself that someone can beat him, and I'm having
a tough time doing that, I would give I'm looking
at the at the odds makers, they're saying it's eighty
six percent chance he's going to win.

Speaker 7 (08:52):
I think that might be low.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
It may be low. The runway is very short, a
day is in a turn, it is you know, a
lot can happen, but it's you know, we're less than
a month away now, now it's time, and it's looking
as if if he goes on cruise control, he's going
to pull this off. And a lot of it has
to do with the divided opposition. I think that if
the opposition was united, this would be a very different scenario.

(09:17):
But it's not. So, you know, we we can dream
and think about a place where the Democratic Socialists of
America and those that you know want to destroy our
country and want to divide us won't win, but I
don't think that's going to happen. I think that right
now we're in a position where people that don't mind
increasing taxes on New Yorker so that they can leave
New York, people that want to decriminalize prostitution and misdemeanors

(09:39):
are are going to be in a position where they're
going to control New York City government. And I don't
know if your listeners understand what that means. That means
appointing hundreds of commissioners, judges, deputy commissioners, board members, the
positions that run every day in New York City, and
it's going to be a disaster for us. Especially the
kind of people and their ideas and what they view

(10:00):
and what they view for the future of New York City.
It's a very scary thing. These are people who weren't
here during the eighties and nineties, during the cracked pandemic.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah, jac you're depressing me. I want to talk to
you about the Yankees from now on.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yeah, man, it's just they have no and unless we
have a united opposition heading into the general that's not
going to happen. And it seems as if it's going
to be on cruise control, borring, borring. A pole coming
up that shows that independence like myself are coming together
with Republicans and and disaffected Democrats and are going to

(10:31):
support the leading opponent into November. Now, one thing you've
got to remember, Yeah again, eleven percent of New York
City voted for Mamdani in the last week of June,
and he's become a national superstar.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
Even I get it, I get it. That's uh. Look,
you're depressing the heck out of me. But we'll talk
again soon. I can't wait to hear more stories about
the Yankees.

Speaker 7 (10:53):
J C.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Polanco Political analyst and University of Mount Saint Vincent assistant
professor and attorney. How about this, how would you like
to win a rare coin worth thirty five hundred dollars. Well,
we'll tell you how you can do just that right
here in New York City. Plus we got tickets to
see the New York City Wine and Food Festival.

Speaker 7 (11:15):
So stay with us. Hey, thanks so much for your talkbacks.
Keep them coming.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
If you're chosen his talkback in the morning, you get
the highly coveted everybody ONTs won Menty in the Morning
t shirt. And if you get to be talked back
of the week, you get a sea crane radio. We
give that out on Friday. Now that earlier, we were
talking about the what's it called again, field field trip,

(11:39):
not field trip, field case dinosaur in Leonia where they
have automated dinosaurs field station field station dinosaurs which they
have in Leonia, which they have automated dinosaurs like real
life dinosaurs that move and open their mouth and all
that kind of stuff. Now they're selling all of them.
Well that inspired our first talk back. We wonder who

(12:02):
would vote for Mandani.

Speaker 6 (12:04):
However, this dinosaur place that is closing down the owner
had said people showed.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Up and wanted their money back because they thought the
dinosaurs were.

Speaker 7 (12:14):
Going to be real. Yes, you heard that? Is that right?
Did that happen?

Speaker 5 (12:21):
I am sure there's one person at some point who
went in and goes, ah, what don't mean they're not
real dinosaurs?

Speaker 1 (12:30):
In the middle of New Jersey, there's people that believe
that dinosaurs are still in existence.

Speaker 5 (12:37):
And if for some reason you did, would you admit it,
you'd ask for your.

Speaker 10 (12:44):
Money back, Larry, this is Joe from Connecticut the CFO
at Stepping Stones Children's Museum in Norwalk, Connecticut, and we
also have an animatronic dinosaur that the kids can calme
and admire, a play around, have some fun.

Speaker 7 (12:57):
Again, we'd appreciate the plug.

Speaker 10 (12:59):
Stepping Stones Jodan's Museum in all Connecticut. Thank you love
the show.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Oh that's wonderful. Well, thank you so much for listening.
And I hope people come up to see your place.
That's that's great. You just did the plug. We'll write it.
I'll write it down. I'll listen again. I'll write it down.
I'll give a plug a little bit later in the
show as well.

Speaker 6 (13:16):
About hamas they trained their kids from birth to hate Jews,
hate and kill Jews. They will not stop, and they
will never stop until they're all eradicate it. Oh, by
the way, if I win one of your shirts, I
will never wear it. I would frame it and please
autograph it for me.

Speaker 7 (13:36):
Oh, I'd be happy to autograph it for you. Do
you think he's in the running for today?

Speaker 5 (13:41):
Of course, everybody's in the running for everybody running Larry anybody, Well,
he's kind of frame that shirt.

Speaker 7 (13:47):
I know you want your autograph. I know that's why
he should win. I know.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
I know I don't get to pick. I don't get
to pick the committee picks. But I'm gonna lean heavily
on the Committee'm gonna go knock. I'm gonna go pound
on the door and say.

Speaker 11 (14:01):
Stay won't answer you, stay away from that answer.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
There's a question.

Speaker 7 (14:06):
I know.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
They say go away every single time. I've tried it
in the past, every single time. So let's talk about
this treasure hunt. It is really cool. It's the kind
of treasure hunt. I'm thinking, Hey, that'd be fun. Maybe
they should bring the kids up and do this. It
is a rare coin treasure hunt, and it's going to
happen in New York City from October fourteenth to the eighteenth.

(14:29):
It's organized by and this is important, so you might
write this down Stacks Bowers, Stacks Bowers, Stack Apostrophe s
Bowers Bowers, And I'll tell you why that's an important
in a second. They're a prominent rare coin dealer. Each
day they're going to take certificates redeemable for rare coins

(14:51):
or banknotes, all of them valued between three hundred and
thirty five hundred dollars, to be hidden in five iconic
News York City locations. They're gonna give clues to their
whereabouts and they're going to post them daily on Stax
Bowers' social media account. So again, Stax Bowers, you're gonna

(15:12):
have to find their social media account. Participants who find
the certificates can claim their prizes or just opt to
sell them back for cash. The grand prize is in
nineteen twenty four Saint Gaudin's Double Eagle twenty dollars gold coin,
which is valued approximately for thirty five hundred dollars. In total,

(15:36):
up to ten thousand dollars worth of rare coins will
be given away during this five day event, So good
luck to you if you win, Please let us know
and share it with us. And now Jacqueline Carl with
the eight to thirty News, Good morning, Jacqueline.

Speaker 7 (15:55):
Good morning, Larry.

Speaker 11 (15:56):
Texas National Guard troops have arrived in Illinois, joining state
for at the Elwood Army Reserve Center south of Chicago.
It's not yet clear when they will be deployed on
the streets of Chicago. The city and state have sued
to block the Trump administration's deployment, while President Trump says
he's willing to invoke the Insurrection Act to bypass legal challenges.

(16:17):
And there is less than a month ago until election day,
and the three candidates in New York City's mayor's race
continue to try and connect with voters.

Speaker 12 (16:26):
Front runner Democrat Zoron Mob Donnie's been pushing his plans
to provide free childcare and free buses. He says the
wealthy can pay for.

Speaker 9 (16:34):
Increasing taxes on the top one percent of New Yorkers
by two percent.

Speaker 12 (16:37):
Andrew Cuomo's reaction, do you know what the likelihood is
that that build would pass?

Speaker 7 (16:44):
Zero? Scottpa Naga.

Speaker 12 (16:47):
Meanwhile, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is endorsing
Republican candidate Curtis Sleewah political analyst Andrew Kertzman.

Speaker 7 (16:55):
His influence has plummeted.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
I don't see this as having much of an impact
on this right.

Speaker 12 (17:00):
Yes, I'm Scottpringle WRDWS Larry.

Speaker 11 (17:03):
I think I have finally found the marathon for us.
According to Yeah, According to Nito Rama, Denver is hosting
the Taco Bell fifty K. It's an ultra marathon that
combines running thirty one miles with eating at taco bell
nine times along the route. Runners must stop at least

(17:23):
not at at least nine of the ten Taco bells
on the course and consume food at each stop. By
the eighth stop, they must have eaten at least one
Burrito Supreme or Nacho's Bell Grande. Participants have to finish
in under eleven hours, keep all receipts and wrappers is proof,
and in a particularly diabolical twist, they are banned from
using performance enhancing drugs or stomach relief medications like Pepto

(17:47):
Bismo or Alka selzer during the race.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
That's rule the rule.

Speaker 13 (17:51):
I know.

Speaker 11 (17:52):
The rules state the intent is to do something completely stupid.
Are you in? Shall we sign up? Because I wouldn't win,
but I would love eating all the all the taco bell.

Speaker 7 (18:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
I normally am all for doing something stupid, but this
one is so ridiculous, especially since you can't control the
problems that are gonna happen after eating that much taco bell.

Speaker 11 (18:14):
But I would just go to the first one, have
something to eat, and just wait it out.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
It's gonna be gross by the end of that, that's
gonna be. You don't want to be around the finish line.

Speaker 11 (18:23):
I won't be. Neither of us will be. We'll have
some taco bell and sign a few Larrymenty t shirts
and head out.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Now, why would I have to go out there for that?
I can just get in my car and run and
ride to eight taco bells.

Speaker 11 (18:39):
But it's like it's being a part of something and
you're forgetting the most important part doing something stupid.

Speaker 7 (18:45):
Yeah, I do that every day. I'm good. I'm good
on that.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Thanks a lot, Jacquelin Carl, congratulations, did George Osmond from Elmont,
New York. Wile George, you just want a pair of
tickets to the New York City Wine and Food Festival's
Grande October eighteenth, and Pierce at Peer seventeen at South
Street Seaport. Tickets available at NYCWFF dot org. Again, that's

(19:10):
NYC WFF dot org. You get another chance to win
tomorrow at eight twenty five. Well, air traffic delays are
mounting right now as controllers call out sick amid the
government shutdown. ABC's Clara McMichael joins us with the latest

(19:30):
on how this is impacting major airports across the country
and all three airports here in the New York City area,
and what it could mean for your travel plans.

Speaker 7 (19:41):
That's coming up next.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
Before the shutdown, we already had a shortage of air
traffic controllers. You remember all the problems we had at
Newark International for a time there they were cutting flights
because they didn't have enough air traffic controllers. Remember Sean
Duffy was there trying to recruit more air traffic controllers

(20:02):
and get them through the process faster. And now with
the shutdown, there are air traffic controllers calling in sick,
which is causing problems across the country. For more on this,
let's get the Clara McMichael, ABC News Transportation reporter. She's
right here in New York.

Speaker 7 (20:21):
Hi.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
Clara, Thanks for joining us this morning. What are the
problems across the country? Can you summarize?

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Good morning? Well, A try.

Speaker 14 (20:29):
So we're a week into the shutdown and we are
starting to see it impact flights, and that's because, as
you said, those controllers are calling out sick. So we
know that staffing has been a big issue with air
traffic control for years, and the margins are so thin
that when you have even just a few calling out,
that's when you could see those major impacts. So we
saw the start Monday when Bourbank Airport in California had

(20:52):
no air traffic controllers and slights were delayed there. And
then yesterday we saw thousands more delays and staffing issues
at multiple air traffic control facilities across the country, including
some here in New York. Today we may be seeing
the same thing, especially with some weather here, but experts
say that the longer the shutdown goes, the worst these
issues could become.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Is it obvious to everybody that they are calling out
sick because of the shutdown? I know they can't claim that,
they can't accuse them of that, but it seems obvious
that's what's going on.

Speaker 14 (21:26):
Right, So you know, these controllers work extremely stressful jobs,
six days a week, ten hours a day in some cases,
not to mention that they're in charge of aviation safety.
So add into all this that they're not getting paid,
and that's when it gets to a breaking point. They
have to think about how to pay for childcare, food,
medical expenses, you name it. So I think folks do

(21:48):
recognize that this is due to financial duress. In the
last shutdown, we saw some some controllers driving for Uber
to make ends meet. Now again, there are over ten
thousand controllers that are still working. Only a fraction of
those are calling out sick. But even these few exacerbate
the issue, and that's what we're starting to see unfold.

Speaker 7 (22:07):
Yeah, there was already a shortage.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
You started to mention some of the New York airports LaGuardia, JFK, Newark,
Liberty International. Is there one that's being hit more than
the other, And people that have flights during this time,
what should they expect.

Speaker 14 (22:22):
So it was all three airports that were seeing delays yesterday.
Of course we saw those staffing issues specifically at Newark,
which we've been seeing all summer long across the country.
Though just to zoom out, there were at least eight
air traffic control facilities dealing with staffing issues yesterday, and
there were some facilities they don't usually face this issue,

(22:43):
you know, Dallas, Vegas, Chicago was seeing delays. One bad
example was Nashville. Their tower had very limited staffing last night.
Traffic was passed off to the Memphis Center. There was
a ground stop. There were delays. But you asked about advice.
Get your airlines at check your flight status before you
head to the airport, show up early in case you

(23:04):
encounter long tsa line.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yeah, And I just pointed out the three airports in
our area forgetting there for a moment that there if
there is a call out, a sick out in San Diego,
in Nashville like you mentioned, and in places where it
normally doesn't happen and they don't have shortages, like Chicago.
If that happens in those airports, it has an effect
across the country. All the flights across the country are affected.

(23:28):
Do we know what the average is how late these
flights are are getting out.

Speaker 14 (23:35):
You're absolutely right. That's when we start to see those
ripple effects across the country in terms of an average.
I don't have specific numbers for you, but in some
cases the delays can be hours long.

Speaker 7 (23:46):
Have there been flights canceled?

Speaker 14 (23:49):
We aren't seeing a huge uptick of cancelations yet. However,
if these issues, if the call outs continue, we could
very well start seeing it, because when there aren't enough
controllers for a certain area, they reduce the number of flights.
And that's of course to make sure the airspace space safe.
So while you may be inconvenienced with a delay, you

(24:09):
may get your flight canceled, which of course that sucks.
It's all in the name of safety.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yeah, it does suck. Thanks so much. Clara McMichael, ABC
News transportation reporter in New York.

Speaker 7 (24:22):
That was wonderful. Appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
Yeah, and I guess the big question is when is
this going to end? When is this shutdown going to end?
And still still they're being babies in Washington right now.
Instead of just signing the continuing resolution and then negotiating this,
they have made this political.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
This fight is about the healthcare of the American people.
It's Republicans in terms of the leadership that is missing
in action, that is currently on vacation, that has canceled votes,
and that refuses to deal with the healthcare crisis that
Republicans have created.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
All of that's a lie. All of that's a lie.
Because they're willing to negotiate healthcare. They've said that over
and over again. But it's going to take some time,
and the government can't be shut down for all of
that time. And so what they're saying is sign the
Continuing Resolution. That's what it's there for, to buy us

(25:25):
some time four to six weeks. We can talk during
that time and we'll come up with a compromise, But
instead we have this. Even Nicole Malatacas here has said, yes,
you're right, we have to talk about healthcare, but not
like this. Let's not have a shutdown hanging over our heads.

(25:49):
We can sit down and discuss it after you sign
the Continuing Resolution.

Speaker 13 (25:54):
The best thing to happen at this moment is for
the Senate Democrats to give the seven votes needed so
we can reach the sixty in the Senate pass this
clean extension, and then we should certainly address some of
the issues that they brought up, which, by the way,
I share some concerns as well.

Speaker 7 (26:11):
But this isn't the way to do it.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
You don't have to hold a gun to somebody's head
that's already willing to negotiate.

Speaker 4 (26:18):
You keep the government open, and then we have those discussions.
We were always planning to have those discussions in the
month of October. That's how the process works. And this
is a very complicated issue. It's not a simple one.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Right, That's what a continuing resolution is all about. And
they happen constantly. They happen thirteen times during Joe Biden's administration,
and they were signed off by the Republicans every single time.
This is just a babyfit to help Chuck Schumer, that's it.
It's all about Chuck Schumer, and it's to help Chuck

(26:51):
Schumer so that he will not be primari by AOC
next year. That's it. He has to satisfy the left
of his party and show that he's willing to stand
up to Donald Trump, even though it hurts all of
these people across the country, including the people that now
have to wait for flights because there's all of these

(27:12):
air traffic controllers calling in sick. It's incredible, it's incredible
that this is happening.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
Well.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
Tonight, Mikey, Cheryl and Jectionidarelli face off in the final
debate of the new Jersey governor's race. Will voters tune
in and do they think the state could flip?

Speaker 7 (27:30):
Red?

Speaker 1 (27:31):
W war's Natalie Migliori hits the streets for the answers next,
and the CC Radio three is the almost everything radio.
With the addition of Bluetooth, you know you now have
this immense palette of radio shows and podcasts available from

(27:51):

Radio three has the best reception of any radio you've
ever had for long range AMFM stations. Along with and
this is extremely important, emergency capabilities like Noah Weather and
the two meter handband so you can find out what's

(28:14):
going on when the worst happens. Reliable communication and staying
connected is essential in unforeseen events like Hurricane Sandy or
just a really bad storm that knocks out power. If

CC Radio three is worth the price alone. It's audio

Speaker 10 (29:15):
It's seventen wors Beat on the Street with Natalie Migliori.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
It is one of the most watched political races in
the country, considered a bell weather for the midterm elections,
the race between Mikey Cheryl and Jack Chitarelli to be
the next governor of New Jersey. Will New Jerseyans be watching, Well,
that's what Natalie Mgliori finds out and her Beat on

(29:42):
the Street.

Speaker 15 (29:42):
Natalie, Yeah, good morning, Larry. Last time we hit the streets,
we asked New Jerseyans if they had watched the debate
that was the first one that took place on a Sunday,
very convenient, especially with the kickoff of football, and people
had been saying no, I had no idea, I didn't
even know how to access it. But the second and
final debate between the two candidates running to be New

(30:05):
Jersey's next governor will actually take place in New Brunswick
at the Performing Arts Center in an on air debate
that's airing on ABC seven. So that question, Larry, will
New Jersey ins be watching, I.

Speaker 7 (30:19):
Won't be home to watch it. I'll be working.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
No, I didn't know. I have no idea.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
I don't watch that.

Speaker 16 (30:24):
It upsets me. I don't agree with most of it.
These two that are running, I don't trusted no one
of them. They ask the woman question, she could barely
answer some of the questions that they're asking her. And
the other one he's a Trump set all the way,
and I have no interest in voting for him whatsoever.
They if there was a way of keeping Murphy, I
would keep him because these two will bring New Jersey down.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (30:47):
Now, Governor Murphy is term limited and rounding out his
eight year run. This winter, two women actually waiting in
line for the crosstown bus from New Jersey agreed with
each other that they would love to see Murphy in office.
And again, this is the first time, Larry, that I
actually had sparked a conversation in line with people who
were both going out. I loved it. It was so fun,

(31:08):
but it was a lot to juggle with the microphone.
But some aren't the biggest fan of Sheryl, and the
same goes for how they feel about citer Upity.

Speaker 16 (31:17):
What he says and what you know, his plan doesn't
really include a lot of us.

Speaker 11 (31:22):
I think he has a better shot at addressing the
problems that most of us care about.

Speaker 16 (31:27):
They will say anything anything to get in power, and
once they get in power, they do something completely different.
They forget their premises that were made. But I prefer
go an America, So keep him in house.

Speaker 7 (31:40):
I don't like chi Rollie and I don't like Huh.
But what are you gonna do?

Speaker 11 (31:43):
You think you're gonna vote?

Speaker 7 (31:44):
Though, for sure I'll vote. I want to vote, well,
I have to vote.

Speaker 16 (31:48):
I will never just not vote.

Speaker 10 (31:50):
But if Mercy is.

Speaker 16 (31:51):
On that bill and that's you know, on that board,
that's where my vote is going.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
Wow.

Speaker 15 (31:56):
People are really living in the past this morning. Larry No,
but loved to Murphy four years ago. And Cheryl, who
was a naval pilot. Uh, they're most likely she hasn't
run for governor, but they're most likely to face questions
on affordability. Really, that's a lot with this elections coming
down to so what are people's main concerns.

Speaker 7 (32:17):
Immigration policies.

Speaker 10 (32:19):
We need to control it.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
I mean, we can't help everybody unfortunately.

Speaker 7 (32:22):
Yes, it's that affordable housing.

Speaker 6 (32:24):
It's just everywhere you know, you have more programs for
them than anybody else.

Speaker 7 (32:28):
The middle class is no longer around. It's a tough
time right now.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
A lot of taxes.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Pretty much taxes and being able to retire there without
going broke.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
High rent, high utilities, everything's ha ha, everything's.

Speaker 16 (32:40):
Hag high preparty tax that we pay. And she's talking
about some damn like bil I could pay my life ville.
I don't care how much the increase is, but the
preparaty taxes what kills a lot of people in New Jersey.

Speaker 15 (32:53):
Yeah, both between Titterrelly and Cheryl have titans there, essentially
neck and neck. Tittererelly almost split New Jersey read four
years go. So will we actually do it this time?

Speaker 7 (33:02):
I hope they do. I guess it's possible. I sure hope.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
So New Jersey is basically a people's republic.

Speaker 7 (33:08):
I can't wait to get the hell out of it.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
I don't think it's gonna flip completely red but I
think we're gonna meet somewhere in the middle.

Speaker 16 (33:13):
I can see it, not maybe not this term, but
I can see it in a couple of years.

Speaker 7 (33:17):
Nah, No, I don't think so. Take a look around.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
What's going on?

Speaker 7 (33:19):
Simple?

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Uh?

Speaker 16 (33:21):
Yeah, anything could happen. No, I don't think so. I
think it's gonna be extremely close. She may win by
a hair but let's keep Governor Murphy in and get
rid of these two.

Speaker 15 (33:33):
Time will tell who wins. We're less than a month
the way, Larry, but.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
The Murphy love is kind of shocking. The polls don't
bear that out. Natalie Migliori will be back tomorrow morning
at eight fifty. Thanks a lot, Natalie. If you've noticed
over the last couple of days, Donald Trump has been
using the word insurrection a lot in describing the attack
on ice officers. There's a reason for that. We'll explain
after the nine o'clock News
