Hour 3: Being A Movie Star

Being A Movie Star. 

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And good morning to you. Thanks for being with us.
I know you have a lot of choices to make
in the morning, and I really appreciate that you spend
time with us. And Wow, you're going to be rewarded
after the last couple of weeks because it's going to
be gorgeous for a stretch. I hope you get out
and enjoy it. In the Big Three, well, the New
York Times story claiming that Donald Trump is working behind

(00:22):
the scenes and talking with independent candidate Andrew Cuomo about
how they can defeat socialist Democrat zorin Mom Dannie that
is still dominating the mayor's race, and in fact, it
was like a bomb that went off. It has changed
the trajectory of the mayor's race.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
I don't recall the last time I spoke with him.
I left the message after the attempted assassination. I don't
believe I spoke with him. I believe I left the
message for him.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
How on earth do you forget when you talk to
a former president after an assassination attack That just completely
does not ring true. We're gonna talk to political analyst
JC Polonco about that coming up in about two minutes.
In Harlem. They are now dealing with eighty one diagnosed
Legionnaire's disease cases. Twenty three people are in the hospital.

(01:18):
Three people have died and we got word yesterday because
of mist coming off of buildings. You can get this
just by walking past certain buildings in Harlem.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
The most commonplace for the bacteria to grow is in
cooling towers, which are on top of buildings. These cooling
towers spray mists or droplets, and that miss is outdoors
and can carry bacteria. Right now, the risk to central
Harlem community at large is not limited to any specific building.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
The important thing is if you have some respiratory problems,
if you feel like you have the flu coming on,
go get it checked immediately, a special if you've been
in Harlem over the last week or so, because it
may be this and if you catch it early it's
easy to treat. Once it advances well, you may end
up in the hospital. By the way, this disease cannot

(02:13):
be spread person to person. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Natanya,
who says he's pushing forward now with plans to take
control of all of Gaza.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
We intend to in order to assure our security, remove
Tramas there enable the population to be free of gaza
and to pass it to civilian governance that is not
Tramas and not anyone advocating the destruction to visual.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
An economist and frequent guest on Woor, Stephen Moore, was
in the Oval office to go through some great economic news.

Speaker 5 (02:49):
In his first five months in office, starting in January
through the end of June, the average median household income
adjusted for inflation for the average family in America already up.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
And seventy four dollars.

Speaker 5 (03:02):
That's an very incredible number.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
We're going to talk to the CEO of Investipedia, Caleb Silver.
He's going to be with us at nine oh five
to go over all of the current economic figures, some good,
some bad, and what they all mean. But right now,
let's get to my favorite political analyst, J. C. Polanco,
who takes time out of his busy media schedule to

(03:26):
be with us and we really appreciate it. He is
also an assistant professor at the University of Mount Saint
Vincent JC. Thanks so much for being here with us today.

Speaker 6 (03:37):
Always love coming on. Thank you for the invitation.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Well, listen, it's a great day to have you too.
Because this New York Times story I think changed, at
least for the time being, the trajectory of this race.
I think it was all about law and order for
a second after the Park Avenue shooting, and that wasn't
good for Zoram Mom Donnie. In a way story about

(04:01):
Donald Trump allegedly calling Andrew Cuomo and Derek Adams and
talking about how they can stop zoring Mom Donnie, I
think it's the best thing that could happen to the
Mom Donnie campaign right now, don't you.

Speaker 6 (04:15):
Well that's interesting. It's interesting because remember that there are
pockets in the city Larry where Donald Trump is very popular.
We know that from the twenty twenty four results and
his you know, coming in in any way whatsoever on
this mayoral race would have great benefits in some pockets,
but for the majority of the city. If I were

(04:37):
to take a poll, I think COVID nineteen is more
popular that President Trump.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
You know this.

Speaker 6 (04:42):
You know this, So you know it's interesting because President Trump,
he knows that he knows what I just said, and
if he were to get involved in this race, it'll
be the kiss of death in November for whoever he endorses.
So how does President Trump look at the city that
he identifies that he grew up in, not get involved
in any way whatsoever, and then see the reality of

(05:04):
how difficult it would be to beat Mamdani with four
people running against him, just mathematically. And lastly, I remember
what we talked about a couple of weeks ago. The
Republicans need a mayor Mumdani in the midterm elections. If
Mayor Mumdanni wins, this would be a treasure trove of

(05:26):
the commercials for Republicans in purple districts to associate the
Democrats with a socialist who has some Marxists and communist positions.
So you know, you're in a rough spot of your
President Trump because you need Mayor mum Donni as the
pinata in order to keep your Republican majority. But you
don't want to see New York City become a socialist city,

(05:47):
so it's very tough. So you're right, him getting involved
here is could be good news for Mumdani. At the
end of the day, Let's.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Take everything you said and figure out what Donald Trump
was thinking. Because what we've found out I found out
from the New York Times documentary that Maggie Haberman, who
did the story, is very close with Donald Trump, and
sometimes he leaks stuff to her on his own and
this so this story comes out that now he's trying

(06:16):
to stop zorin Mom Donnie, and he knows what you
just said. He knows how that would be taken in
this city. He knows that what helps or in Mom Donnie.
So the question is because that would help the Republicans
in the midterms, and a lot of people say that
Zora in Mam Donnie winning would win Mike Lawler's seat
for Mike Lawler in Rockland and Westchester County. So so

(06:40):
did he do it on purpose?

Speaker 6 (06:42):
Oh, that's that's interesting. I've been I've been grappling with
that for the last couple of days. I have been
because you know, I don't I don't know if he
if he, if the President really wanted to do this
on purpose, he would just say it right, he would
say we need Governor Cuomo. He would just say we
need to make sure that we defeat and that all
would would almost guarantee him Dinny victory.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
But this way, I just wanted to jump in. He
has some deniability.

Speaker 6 (07:08):
This way, he does have some deniability. But when was
the last time that we saw President Trump one deniability
of what's a good strategy for him?

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Recently, It's happened a few times recently. Wh he doesn't
want to be connected to a story. He'll let like
Epstein he was, he was way, he was steering away
from in the beginning. Pat's all bam Bondi's thing. That's
not my thing. So he will do that every once
in a while. You're right, Usually he doesn't. Usually he's
out in front and everything. I think he's learning. I'm
just wondering if he's playing chess with this while everybody

(07:42):
else is playing checkers.

Speaker 6 (07:44):
He may be playing chess. He played chess twenty four
to seven. I'll tell you this, Larry, it's you know.
I have I have Curtis Leewa on my podcast this
morning centered with J. C. Palanco for your viewers, and
I'm gonna ask him. I'm gonna ask him straight up.
You know, can you see yourself winning in this situation
where you have four people running, when the President hasn't
made an endorsement yet, and you know, what are your

(08:05):
thoughts about beating mam DONI considering the numbers. I'll ask
him and see you know what his position is on
the President. I think that'd be interesting. That's telling off
of your question.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, that would be really interesting because from what I remember,
and you probably know this better than I, he doesn't
have the best relationship with Donald Trump, does he, Curtis.

Speaker 6 (08:26):
Leew No, Well, you know, he respects him. I've seen
his interviews in the past. He was never a maga guy,
you know. You know, he doesn't have the conservative line.
He's more of a Republican along what we normally consider
to be a New York Republican, right, someone who is
down the middle on a lot of issues. And he
doesn't have that maga relationship with the President, but I

(08:48):
know it's a respectful one from what I've seen. Now,
I don't know whether or not. Quite frankly, you know,
President Trump getting involved in any way even supporting the
Republican candidate would make any sense at all to try
to defeat Mamdani. See, this is a very tough situation
with so many candidates running. And another thing, there are
other ways that the President could be supportive in bringing

(09:08):
people together to defeat a socialist, and that may be
asking donors to support one of the candidates that has
the best shot because as you can see, money's going
to be tight going into November. So there's a lot
of other ways other than an endorsement, where the President
can be helpful.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
I know there's a lot of people that listen to
this show that are rooting for Curtis Leewood. Does he
have a shot?

Speaker 6 (09:31):
You know, he's raised the most money, He's going up
in the polls. You know, I'm going to ask him
about all of that this morning, Larry, so I could
be honestly, I want to get that they want to
get his answers from him. Mathematically, I think when you
take a look at four people running hard, beating up
on each other, I mean you got to hear the
campaigning against each other. When when you know Curtis Lee,

(09:53):
what goes in on former Governor Cuomo? He pulls no punches.
I just wonder how helpful is that in November. Sitting
here off and thinking about it, I'm gonna ask him this.
I mean, when you're beating up on all the other independence,
does it make it more difficult for there to be
a unified voice in November? I think it's difficult right
now for me to tell you that going into November
as of today, that he's going to win. The way

(10:15):
that he can win is if in the next couple
of months, and I know your viewers are curious about this,
in the next couple of months, do the other independent
candidates fall off right so they no longer campaign actively.
If that happens and Curtis continues campaigning and raising money
like he has, then the hope would be for Curtis
is that the people that drop off are telling are
coming over to his camp.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Hey, let me quickly because we're running out of time.
I want to ask you the most important question. How
do people hear your podcasts?

Speaker 6 (10:43):
Oh, they could go to Centered with JC dot com
and I'm on all the platforms, YouTube, everywhere, Instagram, everywhere
that you could imagine. But Centry with JC is where
we post them and it'll be up tonight. So we're
recording in about an hour and it's gonna be a
great interview.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Wonderful. Jac Polanco, pull it out, analyst and University of
Mount Saint Vincent assistant professor. Thanks a lot, Jays, have
a good weekend.

Speaker 6 (11:05):
Have a great day thinks.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Let me ask you a question, will you drink a ketchup? Smoothie.
I didn't think so, but apparently they're becoming popular. We'll
talk about it next. We all remember that one teacher,
don't we that made a difference, who believed in us,
or challenged us, or just made learning fun. Well, now
is your chance to say thank you to them in
a big way. With iHeartRadio's Thank a Teacher powered by

your favorite teacher now at iHeartRadio dot com slash teachers.
All Right, thanks so much for your talkbacks. It's getting

(12:11):
close to that time when we're going to announce the
talkback of the morning. And also it's Friday, so we're
gonna announce the talkback of the week. So get in there.
You go to seven ten WR on the iHeartRadio app
and you leave us a message. And then we do
have an academy that's locked behind closed doors that decides
who wins.

Speaker 7 (12:31):
Larry. Things have to get worse before they get better.
Look what happened if the build de Blasia. You thought
things couldn't get worse with him, then look at Eric Adams.
You thought things couldn't get worse. Then he poured the
legals in by New York City Sanctuary City. And now
you're going toward Manavi. It's gonna get worse, a lot

(12:52):
worse before.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
It may get better.

Speaker 8 (12:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Well, listen what Donald Trump wants. And the reason I
believe I think he's probably or somebody close to him
leaked this story to the New York Times, and I
believe that he wants everyone to know that he's connected
with Eric Adams and he's connected with Andrew Cuomo. And
the reason he wants that is because he wants in

(13:18):
the midterms for Republicans to be able to run against
Mom Donnie especially in New York where he has to
save the seats here, and it's certainly going to help
a lot of people in this area. If I were
Tom Swase in Sussex County, I'd be worried. I'd be
worried if mom Donnie becomes mayor what Texas wants a Jerrymanda?

Speaker 9 (13:44):
How dare they? How dire they?

Speaker 10 (13:48):
No one ever has ever done that before in a
Democrat state.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
I can feel the sarcasm.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Yeah, it is.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
It really is hypocrite goal for the Democrats to be
complaining about this because they've been so good at this.
And by the way, when the Republicans try to do
it in states, they go to court, they go to
court immediately, so they already know they can go to
court the ones in Texas right now. And I don't
know why they don't just allow this process. Oh I

(14:18):
do know why they don't allow this process to go
forward because they want to be able to talk about
the authoritarian Donald Trump. And they got all this national attention,
and that national attention is much more important than doing
their jobs. Oh, they get to say that he's a
fascist and look what he's doing to our country, when
actually you are absolutely right, he's doing the same thing

(14:40):
in Texas. He's just being more honest about it than
the Democrats have done in California, in Illinois, in Maryland,
in Massachusetts. They have every congressional seat. They have sixty
percent of the vote, yet they have one hundred percent
of the congressional seats.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
Now it is.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
It is extremely hypocritical. And thank you so much for
your talk back. Here's a question for all of you
right now. Would you drink a ketchup smoothie?

Speaker 11 (15:11):
Uh? I, I don't want to say yes, but I
kind of like to try things, so now, maybe like
a sip, not even ketchup.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Well, apparently Hines has been experimenting with it and they
finally believe they have something I guess which is drinkable,
and they're going to release it onto the market. But
when you hear what they did, it really isn't a
ketchup smoothie. It's as smoothie with a dash of ketchup
in it. I mean, well, what's in it? So I'm

(15:43):
going to pronounce this. I just learned how to pronounce this,
so so excuse me if I say this wrong. As
I E E A I E S I E sorbe.
How did you know that?

Speaker 10 (15:54):
Because I.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
E bowls? Yeah, like appliables, it's like a new hip thing, right,
it's been past couple of years.

Speaker 11 (16:04):
They're great in the summer though, it's like so refreshing.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Really yeah, I probably had one and didn't even know
it and certainly didn't know how to pronounce it. Fresh
apple juice is in there, so asie no no sae sewerbet,
fresh apple juice. You know what, I I'm kind of
proud that I didn't know how to pronounce that fresh
apple juice, ripe strawberries and tart raspberries. That all sounds good, right,

(16:28):
it sounds delicious. And then just a dash of ketchup.

Speaker 11 (16:33):
It's a dash though, is that that's not an official measurement.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
There's so much other junk in there that not junk.
There's so much other good stuff in there, tasty stuff
in there. Are you going to taste the ketchup?

Speaker 12 (16:44):
Hopefully not? So.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
They say it's pretty good. They've been testing and trying
to do this, and I think they're doing it just
so we would talk about it and it actually worked.
They have an R and D department that's been working
on this in three years and it's going to be
available on August, So go out and have your ketchup
smoothie now. Jacqueline Carl with the eight thirty News, Jacqueline Larry.

Speaker 12 (18:19):
According to Oddity Central, a Chinese man named Jin was
scammed in to spending over one hundred and twenty one
thousand dollars on three hundred years of gym memberships at

up to roughly one hundred and fifteen thousand on this
project after nineteen cats drowned to the canals this year alone.

predict how long you'll live.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
True right.

Speaker 12 (19:34):
Several recent studies suggest that body size, particularly height and
waste to calf ratio, could predict how long you live.
Research shows that shorter people tend to live longer, with
each additional inch of height increasing the risk of death
by about two point two percent for men and two
point five percent for women.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
Almost perfect, story of my life. I almost got it.

movie star. Don't fly to Hollywood, just go to New Jersey.
John Crowley, executive director of the New Jersey Film Commission,
will tell us all about the exploding film business in

(20:36):
the Garden State coming up next. And you know what,
I am so excited. I just got my new Sa
Crane three Wi Fi radio and I have it all
set up. I have the remote control going and it
is fantastic. And now I am set. Along with the

(20:57):
solar I have. I have a Sea Crane solar as well.
I'm ready for any emergency. I don't care if the
power goes out. I'm all set. And this, by the way,
the one I just got, the Wi Fi, the Sea
Crane Radio WiFi exceptional AM radio reception. It sounds like
the host is right there in the room with you

(21:20):
and is connected to Wi Fi. And it connects to Bluetooth,
so I can carry my phone around with me and
hear anything I want to hear, any radio station because
it gets twenty five thousand radio stations around the world.
It is something you need in your homes because it'll
prepare you for an emergency. But in between emergencies. It's

(21:44):
wonderful to have because I know you're a radio listener.
I've got three now and I really recommend this. Every
home should have one of these radios, especially yours. Call
Sea Crane at eight hundred five two to two eight
eight sixty three. That's eight hundred five two to two
eight eight six three. Or you can visit them online.

(22:05):
You go to seacrane dot com. That cc r an
dot com. Man, I realize that, but New Jersey is
skyrocketing up the list of states to go to for
movie productions, internet productions, TV productions. It has become the

(22:26):
hot state for putting making anything making. Some of the
biggest films of the last few years were made in
New Jersey. And to talk about that, and the guy
that can be credited with helping that happen is John Crowley,
Executive director of the New Jersey Motion Picture and Television Commission. Now,
to set this up, I just want to let you

(22:46):
know that I have worked with John before. We've won
Emmys together for some work that we did.

Speaker 11 (22:52):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
And now he's got this huge role. He's got this
big role. Do I hear from him? No? I'm thinking
to myself, well, you know what, I could play some
small role in a movie. I could be a radio
broadcaster in a movie, I could be a TV anchor
and movie. So I sit there by my phone and
just waiting for John to call me, and I never
get a phone call. But now now that he wants

(23:14):
to glow about how New Jersey is doing so well
with movies, now I get to talk to him. Good morning, John, Larry,
how are you, my friend? I'm doing well. It's been
a long time. The last time I talked to you
it was about possibly doing a commercial, so I can't
say yes that you never called me. As a matter

(23:36):
of fact, you called me right You called me yesterday.
I was taking a nap, but I thought to myself,
why is John Crowley calling me? And you know, I
want to call you right back because it might be
some huge movie role. But but no, it was just
that you were coming on with us today. How have
you been. How's everything going?

Speaker 10 (23:52):
I'm out well great. I mean, we're going like gangbusters
in New Jersey. But look, I got to drop the
dime on yours to your listeners because we did the
show together. And I had said to Larry, you know,
I've never won an Emmy, and that's sort of a
bucket list thing. We finished taping that night. I don't
know if you remember this, and you walked up the
aisle to me and you said, you just won your

(24:13):
first Emmy and I have you to thank Larry. You
were a fantastic hoast for that event, and you know
you went out of your way to make make the
Emmy folks aware of our program. And I owe that
that piece of hardware to you, my friend. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Yeah, and you were wonderful even at the time. You
got some Hollywood guests to come all the way to
New Jersey to appear in that. So, yeah, No, it
was a wonderful.

Speaker 4 (24:35):
It was.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
It was just let the people, let people know that
it was a town hall about the opioid crisis and
so and we had some people on the stage that
had some heartbreaking stories. We had the Attorney General. It was.
It was a wonderful TV moment that I'm really proud of.
And John, I'm sure you are too, I am.

Speaker 10 (24:55):
And and you just said, we've got some Hollywood people
to come to that. Well, we're getting e even more
of them these days with the with film and TV production.
Let me, I'll do you want do you want me
to give you just some some good numbers. Go ahead,
go ahead, all right, so twenty so, historically New Jersey
has been like number seven, number eight in terms of

(25:17):
you know, production hubs to come to in the United States.

Speaker 6 (25:21):
LA.

Speaker 10 (25:22):
Even though the numbers have been down, LA is still
number one. New York's number two. Georgia has been number three,
and then we're down around seven or eight. Well, our
goal on the film commission is to get us into
that number three spot. And it's happening because in twenty
twenty three we had five hundred and ninety two million
dollars in what is called qualified spend. That's the money

(25:46):
that productions are spending when they're here in New Jersey.
They don't come here with groceries and hardware and fuel
and cars things like that. They're getting them here, they're
renting them when they're here. So that was five hundred
and ninety two million dollars in New Jersey on qualified
spent twenty twenty four. Do you want to take a guest, Larry,
what the qualified spend was?

Speaker 1 (26:05):
I have it in front of me, so it's not
a guess. I'm not going to chieve. Go ahead and
tell me GENI.

Speaker 10 (26:11):
Eight hundred and ten million dollars qualified spend. Wow, it's
thirty seven percent that were up and La down, New
York stagnant, recovering, Georgia down, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico down,
down down. Those are all of our major competitors. Chicago down,
Even Toronto is down.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Hey, you're just talking about the money. What about the jobs.

Speaker 10 (26:35):
Oh so the jobs even more millary. They we twenty
twenty two sixteen thousand crew hires. Twenty twenty three was
like seventeen thousand crew hires. In twenty twenty four we
hit a new high, which was thirty thousand crew hires.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
But absolutely some of the biggest some of the biggest
movies and some of the biggest shows of the last
couple of years. I don't think people were realized we're
done in New Jersey. Go through a few of them.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
Uh well, you know.

Speaker 10 (27:08):
And that's the thing, right is like, why is that happening? Well,
New Jersey, you know, geographically compact state, but this huge
variety of locations. And that's one of the biggest draws
for production is they say, well, we've got all these
different things we need in our script. You know, we
need to Washington, DC. Look alike, or we need to
play like Times Square in New York, but we don't

(27:30):
want to deal with the traffic of going to New York.
And we've got all that huge amount of variety locations,
little towns, big cities, mountains with snow oceans. So severances shooting,
you know, has been shooting in Holmdale at the Bell
Labs building.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
No bigger show, no bigger show on TV right now?

Speaker 10 (27:48):
That's right, yeah, right, Larry, are you in any air
and outy We we'll figure that out later.

Speaker 4 (27:53):
Yes.

Speaker 10 (27:54):
So that's for your Severance fans, that's for your seventh fans.
That's nothing to do with your belly button. But Everance
a complete unknown. That was the Bob Dylan biopic that
was here, The new Bruce Springsteen biopick that's coming out
Delivered Me from Nowhere, filmed here Steven Spielberg, he's got

(28:15):
a new film that's coming out. That was down in
Kate may I got to tell you about that too.
That was that was crazy in terms of that money
that we talk about. They had three hundred and fifty
crew members that were down there in Kate May Well.
They were all coming from else you know, from northern Jersey,
Central Jersey, wherever. So they put them up in hotels.

(28:36):
They the three hundred and fifty crew were in eight
different hotels and an average of two hundred and eighty
five dollars per night. See you do the math, and
that's in the off season. That was like February March.
So the hotel owners were ecstatic. And then when everybody
wrapped filming for the end of the day, they went
and they took their per diem and they were buying
dinner at restaurants all around Kate May area. So again,

(28:59):
between the jobs and the qualified spend the money that
they're spending, that's that's why we do that. But we've
all happy Gilmore Happy Gilmore just released what about a
week week and a half ago on Netflix. Shot here
for like sixty some odd days, and they spent one
hundred and fifty two million dollars while they were here
in state. Eighteen million. That was just in location fees

(29:20):
at golf courses and stores and you know, restaurants everywhere
that you've seen in the movie. They were paying location fees.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
And you have so much being built in New Jersey
and John we're running out of time. But you know,
what we got to have you back, So let let's
talk again soon and come back on you know you have.
It's an open door policy. Apparently I've been shut out
to any production in New Jersey, but for you, sir,
it's an open door policy to come on the show
to talk about what's happen on the.

Speaker 10 (29:47):
Don Larry, I'm sure. I'm sure we'll get jumped down.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
I begged chance.

Speaker 10 (29:50):
I got to talk to you, my friend with you
grat all.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Right, So we'll definitely do that. John, Congratulations on the
gig and congratulations on your success. Thanks a lot, thank you,
so thank you. Activists are planning a rally outside twenty
six Federal Plaza today to protest ICE activity in New
York City. But what do every day New Yorkers think?
We'll get the Beat on the Street with Natalie mcgliori next.

Speaker 7 (30:15):
Now it's seventeen Wars Beat on the Street with Natalie migliore.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
So Tom Holman the Borders are said he was going
to flood the streets of New York to get those
here illegally, especially criminals, off the streets. But it's been controversial,
So how did New Yorkers feel about it?

Speaker 3 (30:34):
Well?

Speaker 1 (30:35):
That's what Natalie Migliori does. She gets the beat on
the streets.

Speaker 14 (30:39):
Natalie, Yeah, good morning, Larry, Happy Friday. And to be
honest with you, there's a lot of talk about ice
happening in New York City and really what's going on there.
A rally outside twenty six Federal Plaza will happen today,
as activists claim the tenth floor of that building is

(30:59):
being used as the covert ice detention center. There's been
a lot of conversation regarding ice activity in New York City,
so it had me asking New Yorkers how they feel
ice is moving through the city.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
People that are here to do the right thing, to
leave them alone.

Speaker 11 (31:17):
People that are here to do are doing crime to
people in New York or whatever the ere one that
should be taken out of here.

Speaker 8 (31:23):
I'm form arresting the criminals. Maybe the other people who
come in, okay, but the criminals I got to touch
my bus.

Speaker 9 (31:30):
I think it's cruel and in humane, and how they're
cheating the people.

Speaker 7 (31:34):
It's terrible.

Speaker 6 (31:34):
But you know, I don't really think about it too much.

Speaker 9 (31:37):
I don't know nothing about that.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
I don't know what to say. I got a lot
of others.

Speaker 9 (31:41):
You know my mom.

Speaker 8 (31:42):
Okay, so I'm gon chet.

Speaker 14 (31:45):
Well he does not mince words, Larry, I'll tell you that.
But neither do New Yorkers who feel like ICE is
somewhat justified in their actions, especially as various groups raised
concerns about agents wearing masks, which they say makes it
difficult to identify officers and could empower other people to
impersonate agents.

Speaker 8 (32:07):
The Left is.

Speaker 15 (32:08):
Really going at it, and ICE has left no choice
but to operate the way they have. They don't respect detainers.
That when ICE puts detainers out and you know it
has to.

Speaker 9 (32:20):
Be done masking up all that. Do you think it's
safety for these ICE agents.

Speaker 15 (32:24):
Yeah, their addresses are being put online. You know their
family is harassed. Of course, it's about safety. I don't
see anybody complaining about Antifa weining masks.

Speaker 8 (32:34):
Aggressive of what was happened in the last four years,
that's what was aggressive. Codl the bs out.

Speaker 6 (32:41):
Okay.

Speaker 14 (32:42):
Now it all comes as NBC New York reports a
baby and Brooklyn is staying with family after his mother
reportedly died and his father, who has been in the
US for twenty years and reportedly had a prior drug
conviction was detained by ice recently. New Yorker's weighing in
ten though, since we don't know much about the developing

(33:03):
the situation, I.

Speaker 15 (33:04):
Think it's okay for the child to stay with the
grandmother here, if it's acceptable to the father and everyone involved.

Speaker 9 (33:12):
I think that's really sad. If he did his time,
then he should have a way to be acclimated back
into society that he's not harmful to us, or whatever
the case may be. You know, it's a lot of
people here that don't need to be here because they
haven't gotten caught or they're just bile, evil people. So
why one person that did what they needed to do
got corrected for his behavior and then now it's like, oh, okay,

(33:34):
well you can go that way. No, it's not fair.

Speaker 10 (33:38):
Well.

Speaker 14 (33:39):
With the Trump administration ramping up deportation efforts here, some
New Yorkers feel like there is no question to how
cities like New York got here.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
You brought in people for votes.

Speaker 8 (33:52):
You're sending them to shelters that you created in Republican districts.
Come on, this is the game. But the trouble is
on both sides of the fence. The same game is
that tax dollars.

Speaker 15 (34:03):
The Democratic Socialists of America. I'm behind all of this stuff, Okay,
bringing people from South and Central America to uh, you know,
get more seats in Congress and stuff. It's not about
they care about these people.

Speaker 4 (34:17):
They are.

Speaker 6 (34:18):
These people are a means to an end, and that's
how the people feel.

Speaker 10 (34:23):
Larry.

Speaker 14 (34:24):
Once that guy started saying.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
You, I was like, I didn't do anything, but you're
part of the media. You're part of the bad people according.

Speaker 14 (34:33):
To the narrative.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
Yes, according to the narrative. So yeah, no, I understand that.
It is fascinating to me. You normally get sometimes you don't.
It all depends on what the topic is and where
you are, but you normally get of the issue on
both sides. And it's given vociferously. Like people are there

(34:55):
saying if they're evil, the ice is evil. Others are saying, no,
the criminals gotta get out. It's amazing how you are
able to, every single day in New York City get
such a diversity of opinion. But I guess that's what
that's why you do it, you know, so we can
hear exactly what people have to say every single day.
And I thank you for that it's really a great

(35:18):
segment and an important segment. Natalie Migliori will be back
Monday at eight fifty. Have a great weekend, Natalie. New
