Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning to you.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
All.
Speaker 1 (00:02):
Thoughts and prayers are with the people of Central Texas
right now, as the death toll there is expected to
rise because at least a dozen people, mostly children, are
still missing. Death and destruction in Central Texas in the
wake of a once in a century flood.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
People that die, kids have died. We're still finding people
out here. We have to rebuild because what else do
we have about here?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
We have nothing. Literally, Jim Ryan was in Texas covering
the flood. If we're going to talk with him at
nine oh five, and the big beautiful bill is now law,
and after all the fear mongering by the Democrats is
going to provide many things, including the most secure border
(00:47):
in history.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
On this vote, the yaser two hundred and fifteen, the
nayser two hundred and fourteen, with one answering present, the
bill is passed.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
And so after dinning his bill passed. Donald Trump said
he will do everything he can to prevent zorin Mamdania
from becoming mayor of New York City.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
As president of the United States, I'm proclaiming here and
now that America is never going to be communist in
any way shape form, and that includes New York City.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
And before we get to Eric Hoffman from the New
York Sun, who is just back from Israel. By the way,
I do want to talk about the devastating Texas floods
that have impacted countless residents. Families have lost their homes,
communities and lives have been shattered, and as we mentioned,
children are still missing. The need in that area is urgent.
(01:47):
So because of that, we're asking if you can donate,
and if at all possible, if you can afford to donate,
donations go to Community Foundation dot net. They will go
directly to trusted local organizations to provide food, shelter, healthcare,
and most of all, hope. So if you're able to
(02:09):
donate Community Foundation dot net. Now let's get to Ariy
Hoffman and Ariy but before we talk about other things,
and I know we talked about this many times, and
thank you so much for talking with us when you
were in Israel. It was compelling. Do you have any
any final thoughts anyway to wrap this up in a
(02:29):
rib in your.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
Trip and glad to be with you. You know, I
think we really see the payoff not just from my
trip but but from the Twelfth Day War today in Washington, right,
Prime Minister nets Yahoo is meeting with with President Trump.
(02:51):
You know, lotses on the agenda, the possibility of a ceasefire,
what to do with Iran. There were some missiles from
Hoosies and Gemen lawn overnight at Israel. So that's another
kind of theater to keep to keep an eye on that.
This is you know, if there ever was high stakes diplomacy,
this is really it, Larry. And you know, all signs
(03:14):
seem to suggest that BB and Trump are really moving
in locksteps such that you know, Trump even put in
a good word for the Prime Minister with respect to
his legal troubles, something that President Trump no doubt has
a lot of empathy for, having been through that that
gauntlet himself.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah. Absolutely, the meeting at the White House is going
to be fascinating. There is some talk out there, and
I've heard from some pretty pretty in the know people
that I've trusted in the past that are saying that
there's going to be an expansion of the Abraham Accords
and it may be Syria.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
Yeah. Absolutely, And just to give a little bit of
historical contact, Larry, you know, it's easy to have to
take it for granted, but you know, Syria, for the
first day case of israel existence, was probably its most
formidable enemy under President Assad's father, also a President Assad,
and even in more recent history, the Asad regime was
(04:12):
implacably opposed to Israel, allied with Iran at the hip,
you know, totally devoted to their masters in Moscow. And
it's just a remarkable development that we might see sawing
of those relationships now. It's important not to get entirely
ahead of ourselves. I mean, you know, the Siia is
(04:35):
still being governed by a kind of you know, isis alum,
so I think that paution is deserved there. But still
it's a sign of Israel's strengths. It's it's a sign
of the transformative nature of the Abraham Accords that this
has now come into the realm of possibility and even
(04:56):
a security arrangement. It's short of full peace, it's still
a huge deal, Larry. I mean, remember, you know, Israel
shares a border with Celia and not you know, so
the kind of lowering of temperature there would be an
enormous development for the region.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah, Airy, I'm so glad you said that, because I
don't think Donald Trump got enough credit for the Abraham Accords,
and now reaching out to Syria when he was over
visiting in the Middle East, reaching out to Syria and
bringing them into the rest of the world, and letting
what he did was let bygones be bygones because there's
somebody new in charge. I am. I do not think
(05:39):
that a democratic president would have done that, and I
don't think that Biden certainly would have done that. I
think that only happens with Donald Trump in office. And
what's amazing to me is that I especially in the media,
I don't think he gets enough credit for some outstanding
things he's done that for some reason always fly under
the radar.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Yeah, no, absolutely. You know, I think the removing of
sanctions that we saw last week was a was a
first step here right Clearly there's a larger effort going
on behind the scenes, of diplomatic effort, and you know,
the payoff could be really big. I mean, not just
for Israel. Remember, you know Stria has also be deviled
(06:22):
American president, and you know, a kind of as you
as you as you said, Larry, bringing Celia closer to
the orbit of the West, you know, we'll have the
effect of weakening Iran even more and even made me
more importantly weakening Russian interests in the region and Chinese interests. Right,
(06:43):
So there's a real sense of kind of larger chess
going on here. Uh. And I totally agree with you
about the way in which the Pop Abraham Accords, even
just as a as a as a framework, have really
changed what's possible in the Middle East.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, and again, I just think it gets ignored by
the media, or it just gets a tepid response from
the media as they continue to look to criticize him.
I do want to talk about your column about the
Supreme Court, which I found fascinating. You think that they've
done a lot already, but you think that this is
(07:20):
going to extend right through the summer.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Yeah, you know, speak about kind of people being surprised
or consistently surprised. I think President Trump's success at the
Supreme Court has consistently shocked a lot of observers who
have consistently underrated his arguments and his chances. And we've
seen the conclusion just last week of a really successful
(07:44):
by any measure Supreme Court term around immigration issues. A
little farther back, he had some key wins on certain
side of government and what I've called the doge dock
at right cases that related to the shrinking of the
size of government. But now we see, you know, more
could be ahead. You know, just a couple of days ago,
(08:07):
the Supreme Court allowed him to deport eight people accused
of serious crimes excuse me, convicted of serious crimes to
South Sudan. So now the possibility of deportation to a
third country, right, not the country of origin and not
here in America, but in another country. And really the
big case next term, I think is going to turn
on the use of the elliot enemy fact well and
(08:28):
whether the president in his constitutional authority to deploy it.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Right. Well, what about birthright citizenship? They kind of were
they touched on it, but really punted on the key question.
And I you know, I think this will be as
big of a case as Roe in the reaction across
the country. If they decide to say no, birthright citizenship
(08:55):
was for slaves. That doesn't mean that anybody else that
is born here automatically becomes a citizen, which is a possibility.
I don't think it's going to happen, but it's certainly
a possibility.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Sure, and that's becoming I think more likely, Larry, because
we're now starting to see the certification of classes or
class action suits to challenge birthright citizenship, even in the
absence now of nationwide injunctions. And that could mean that
the case, as you mentioned, comes back up to the
Supreme Court on the merits right. So if we have
(09:26):
enough of these cases kind of percolating over the summer,
I don't think it would be shocking eventually for the
Court to say, Hey, you know, we ruled on process,
we ruled on injunctions. Let's actually sit down and decide
what did the fourteenth Amendment mean when it was written
in the aftermath of the Civil War, and what does
(09:47):
it mean today?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Right because the guy that originally wrote it, the senator
from Wisconsin I believe it was, got up and said,
of course, I'm not talking about people that just move
here and have children. I'm talking about the children of slaves.
Came out and said that it's just that a previous
support Supreme Court ruling saw it a different way. That's
the only thing that they that they talk about when
(10:08):
they say no, it's obviously means this.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Yeah, And you know, if you go back to eighteen
and sixty eight. I mean there was no immigration basically of.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Any time, right exactly.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Yeah, and that changed in the case in the nineteen
twenties that you allude to Wan kim Ark, which was,
you know, sort of a very different set of circumstances.
And it wouldn't be that hard, I think for the
court to say, Okay, we're going to skip past the
Wan kim RK case, go back to the origins right
as textualists, as originalists, and see the original context within
(10:42):
which the Fourteenth Amendment was written. It is very exclusively
a civil war contest.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, it'll be fascinating. Ary Hoffman, Associate editor of The
New York Sun. Thanks so much, Eric, good to talk
to you. Glad you're back.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
Ary.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
It's an age old question to recline on a plane
or not to recline and entitled Karen sparks the debate
on line we'll explain next. Plus tickets to see the
Steve Miller Band. Stay with us well. Always always appreciate
your talkbacks. They have been great so far, and please
keep him keep them coming. Go to the iHeartRadio app
(11:14):
look for seven to ten WR and hit the microphone
and if you win today as the best caller of
the morning, the best talkback of the morning, you will
get a MENI in the Morning t shirt, and then
all those winners compete at the end of the week
for a CEA Crane Radio, which is a new partner
to the show. It is amazing. I have two of
(11:36):
them at home and I'm buying many of them for
my relatives. You just go to Sacrane dot com, c
crn E dot com if you want to check them out.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
We're talking about Zohanmandani. The thing with this guy, no
matter the skeletons he has in his closet, Democrats don't
take we vote for policy as much as they vote
against who they don't like. It's a feelings game, and
this guy is Trump's number one enemy. Trump's made it
known that's gonna help him win.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
You're right, it has helped them. There's no question there
is such an anti Trump sentiment in the city that,
especially in New York, it could help him win. And
you think to yourself, Donald Trump must know that, right,
but he can keep Mom Donnie out of his mouth.
Speaker 7 (12:25):
I didn't catch where Gina worked, but that's absurd that
someone's complaining this generations so lazy that literally is your job.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Only things getting watered down? Is her tip?
Speaker 8 (12:40):
What a bring me mom?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
What it would lemon do?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
By the way, this is Gina's worst nightmare.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Yeah, i'd say lazy and entitled. It is amazing why
they think they can make the rules for their job.
Speaker 8 (12:59):
If you're not going to drink your water, don't order us.
And this started back when there was a water shortage
that you had to ask for water. Yes, that was
the old days.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yeah, I guess that's true, right, it did. That's when
it did.
Speaker 9 (13:15):
I do remember that there was some water shortage and like, oh,
you know you don't have to ask for your water.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
But yeah, I haven't noticed that. You're right, we do
every time have to order. When they say what would
you like to drink? We say, you know of a soda? Plus?
Can you bring the water? And nobody ever, nobody ever
pushes back on that.
Speaker 9 (13:34):
No, I have a lot of service. Who'll ask us
would you like water for the table? Because I agree
if you're not going to drink it, don't bother that's fine,
you know, don't waste the water the cup you have
to rewash it.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
I always bring it.
Speaker 10 (13:46):
Do you want sparkling or plane or whatever. Oh, she
goes to the fancy restaurants. Yeah, I'm kidding.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
So we can all agree on the water. Can we
agree also that genus.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Are I don't agree.
Speaker 10 (14:03):
I think Gina just needs to find a different job
where she can be happy and joyful with other jerks.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I just think she's not in the right spot.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Maybe that's very true. She is not in the right spot.
I'm not sure there's a real good spot for her.
But you'll learn, she'll learn. Yeah, poor Gina, We got
another question for you. How about when you're flying on
a plane. And the reason we're bringing this up is
because someone posted this on Reddit and got thousands of comments.
This is what they wrote. Maybe I'll set it up
(14:33):
this way. This is what they wrote. The guy in
front of me reclines fully, So I very gently recline
about halfway. Well, the woman behind me suddenly went into
full Karen mode, demanding three times I move my seat,
complaining to a flight attendant, whining about not being able
to use her laptop properly. Apparently, the flight attendant said, look,
(14:55):
she's allowed to recline. Yeah, and so she reclined her
seat all the way back because she was so upset
with the woman behind her, and then she claims she
never heard another word after that. Do you recline?
Speaker 10 (15:07):
Oh yeah, it hurts your back to sit straight like
that for so long. I like to stretch out and recline.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
I reclined probably an inch, just enough to slightly put
myself back.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
That's all I need.
Speaker 9 (15:20):
I start that way, and if I really need a
little more, I will, But I go inch by inch
if I have to go.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I'm with you. I talk tough, but when it comes
down to it, I don't go all the way back
because I don't want to annoy the person in back
of me. I don't.
Speaker 10 (15:32):
But they set it up to recline just so much
so that you're not like laying in the lap of
the person and behind you.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
If you see it's broken. I can understand.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
If you're a certain height, that's great. When you're six
foot three, it doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Have you ever give it for you?
Speaker 11 (15:45):
I was gonna.
Speaker 9 (15:45):
Have you ever give a gentle shove to the person
ahead of you who went all the way back?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, My knees go up into their back. Now.
The eight thirty News with Jacqueline Carl Jacqueline.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Good Morning.
Speaker 10 (15:58):
Desperate search and rescue operations can continue after catastrophic flash
flooding killed at least eighty one people in central Texas.
The death toll includes at least twenty eight children in
Kirk County, where ten girls and a counselor from Camp
Mystic are still missing. Governor Greg Abbott says those search
and recovery efforts will continue around the clock despite the
(16:19):
possibility of further flash flooding, and a New Jersey native
is being praised for his efforts and helping rescue scores
of Texas flood victims.
Speaker 12 (16:28):
US Department of Homeland Security Secretary christynom Is highlighting the
effort that twenty six year old Scott Ruskin is made
as a US Coast Guard rescue swimmer. He's from Oxford,
New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
She says.
Speaker 12 (16:39):
Roskin directly saved one hundred and sixty five victims and
what is his first rescue mission of his career. Nome
says he was the only triage coordinator at the scene
and that his selfless courage embodies the spirit and mission
of the Coastguard. I'm Scattpringle wr News.
Speaker 10 (16:54):
So this next story begs the question are we low
on cardboard boxes in this country? According to bro Bible, recently,
this guy named Steve Wyatt received a USPS package that
was more than a little concerning. When the box arrived,
it was clearly marked with a label that read cremated remains.
So why It's why posted a video of her cautiously
(17:17):
opening the box, only to find that it contained a
twelve pack of Doctor Pepper cream soda zero sugar that
her husband, Steve, had recently ordered from Walmart. Now, the
soda was likely fine, but the similarities between cream and
cremated is unsettling. Would you drink it? And have you
ever gotten one tiny item in a giant box? Like
(17:38):
what's going on with the boxes in this place?
Speaker 6 (17:40):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
I've absolutely gotten tiny items in a giant box with
a lot of patting. That happens all the time. Yeah,
I don't know why it happens, but they must have
a I guess they do have a small box shortage.
Speaker 10 (17:49):
I'm not sure cremated remains. Did you get cream soda
in it?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I don't get that. No, no, that, did you drink it? Happens?
Speaker 13 (17:56):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Would you just feel too?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
But for another reason, I don't like cream soda. Would
I drink something else? Yeah? Probably, yeah, as long as
it's as long as it's you know, tight.
Speaker 10 (18:06):
I know it's a can or a bottle or something,
but still it's very creepy and I just thought we
should know about it.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Thanks so much, Jacqueline Carl and congratulations to Liz Rye
from Babylon Long Island. You just want to pair of
tickets to see the Steve Miller Band at north Well
Health at Jones Beach Theater on August twenty fourth. You
can purchase tickets at ticketmaster dot com and another chance
to win tomorrow morning at eight twenty five. Well, Trump
(18:34):
signs the big beautiful Bill, but if you listen to
the mainstream media, you've only heard anything bad about it.
But there's a lot more good in the bill, and
Daily Caller White House correspondent Reagan Reese will walk us
through it next. Let us know how you feel. Leave
us a talkback all morning long. Go to seven ten
wr on the iHeartRadio app and click the microphone and
(18:56):
when you're there, put seven to ten woor on your preset.
Plus you could win a limited edition MENTI in the
Morning t shirt, which will be awarded every day to
our favorite talkback of the morning, and now this is new,
the talk back of the week will be awarded a
sea crane radio. Sea crane radios that work when it
(19:17):
matters most well. Donald Trump signs the big beautiful bill
in Donald Trump's fashion. He and Milania go out to
the balcony at the White House and addresses the crowd.
Then he comes downstairs and there's a lot of Republicans
that were involved, a lot of Cabinet members there, and
he signs it in front of the world. And of
(19:39):
course there's immediate criticism by the mainstream media talking about
what a horrible bill it is and how much it's
going to hurt the country. So let's talk to Reagan Reese,
White House correspondent for the Daily Caller and Independent Women's
Foreign Visiting Fellow about all of that. First of all, Reagan,
it was quite a show, oh he put on when
(20:01):
he signed that bill, wasn't it?
Speaker 14 (20:04):
Yes? It was.
Speaker 11 (20:05):
I think it's perfect.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
And the administration completely lucked out with the fact that
the bill was in fact passed and made it to
President Trump's desk by July fourth, because it perfectly coincided
with everything he had planned to celebrate the birthday, the
birthday of our nation.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
It is amazing that they got it done exactly when
he maybe a few hours later. It was supposed to
be by at noon. They didn't make that, but it
was there fast enough, and it certainly was great for
the performance that he had in introducing the bill. Since then,
the bill, of course, has been slammed over and over again,
especially about Medicaid cuts and some other things, but mostly
(20:47):
about Medicaid and lost in all of the reporting, Reagan,
it seems like anything good in the bill. So can
you list some of the things in the bill that
are good things? Since all of her about of the
bad things.
Speaker 11 (21:01):
Well, I'll say this if the noise is too exhausting.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
You know, it's typically the critics of President Trump who
are critiquing the bill. It's not the people who voted
for him that are.
Speaker 11 (21:14):
Going to be upset about this.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
This is a piece of legislation that codifies a large
amount of President Trump's agenda, which is what conservatives, maga
Republicans have been kind of complaining about Congress not doing.
Speaker 11 (21:29):
And so what this bill does is it.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Puts in a permanent extension of Trump's twenty seventeen tax cuts,
It provides billions of dollars to new security, border.
Speaker 11 (21:40):
Security, and defense spending.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
It does slash MEDICAIDS spending by about a trillion dollars
over a ten year period.
Speaker 11 (21:49):
And that's really the bulk of it is.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
It is defense, border spending, and tax cuts, and those
are the big things that it hits on.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
The billion dollars in saving in medicaid, which is what
is being hit on all of the time, more than
anything else on the bill, That's what's talked about. From
what I understand, You can tell me if this is correct,
most of that, if not all of it is getting
people off that were off the rolls, that can work,
(22:21):
that are able bodied and insisting that they go to work,
and taking off those who are in the country illegally.
Does that make up all of it?
Speaker 14 (22:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:31):
From my understanding, I think medicaid is a really tricky thing.
And we've seen the President go back and forth himself.
There's been numerous reports and I remember writing a story
a couple of months ago where one day he said.
Speaker 11 (22:44):
Don't cut medicaid. I don't want it touched at all.
Do cut medicaid.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
You must touch Medicaid, and then it was back, don't
touch Medicaid. And so it's this ever evolving issue that
I just don't think is black and white, regardless of
how sensical it might seem to you. And I I
think it's very complicated for these for Congress, for the President,
(23:09):
and I think that's been illustrated through this battle for
the big beautiful bill.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
But if they take off all of the people, I mean,
the people in this country illegally if you hear numbers
between ten million and twenty million, but it's millions of
people we can agree on that if they are getting
medicaid and you take them off, that could easily be
that trillion dollars right there.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
I do believe.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
I reported earlier this year that the Department of Government
Efficiency had actually gone through and found, you know, both
illegal immigrants and just immigrants who did not qualify for
medicaid who were on Medicaid and took them off. And
so it looks like this has been something the administration
has been working on over the last couple of months
(23:53):
as well, and including this Department of Government Efficiency.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
And let's get to your exclusive, because the last we
talk to you had an exclusive you seem you have
an exclusive every week. And this is the fact that
the State Department, and we're talking about cutting funds again,
cutting funds with some unnecessary people. We're talking about paying
underperforming diplomats, and in diplomats, it may not actually be
diplomats anymore, but they still get some funding, and they
(24:21):
still get some money. The Trump administration wants to cut
that out completely.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Right, Yes, the State Department is ending a program that
for decades has given benefits and funds to low performing
diplomats rather than phasing them out of the department. So
they're essentially not doing their duties anymore, they're not working anymore,
and instead of phasing them out of the government, the
government has been supporting them. And we obtained a memo
(24:50):
that was going throughout the State Department to notify the
State Department of this.
Speaker 11 (24:56):
Decision.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
And what's really interesting is that it's been advised but
time after time, that this program is actually in violation
of the law and that it should be removed from
the State Department. And even in twenty eighteen, according to
this memo, Trump's first State Department had the opportunity to
get rid of this program and declined to do so.
Speaker 11 (25:16):
So, you know, I think there's a lot of talk
about this.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Trump second term and how it's so much different and
better than that first term. And I think this is
a perfect example of how much more serious the second
Trump White House is compared to the for Trump White House.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Yeah. I think he listened to a lot of the
wrong people in the first time around, and he's learned
from that this time. Reagan Reese White House, correspondent for
The Daily Caller and Independent Women's Foreign Visiting Fellow. Thanks
so much, Reagan. Talk to you again next week.
Speaker 11 (25:48):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I'm sure you'll have another exclusive then too.
Speaker 6 (25:51):
Well.
Speaker 11 (25:51):
Hopefully I need to figure something out to work on today.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Thanks Reagan. Over sixty UFO spotted over New York this
year alone. Wr's Natalie MCGLIORI ask locals if it's aliens
or just another group trying to find parking in midtown.
Natalie's Beat on the Street is next. Our iHeartRadio Music
Festival is back September nineteenth and twentieth in Las Vegas.

Beat on the Street with Natalie Migliori reportedly over sixty
(26:40):
UFOs were spotted over in New York this past year.
Have you seen one? How about the people on the
street That is the subject of Natalie mcgliori's Beat on
the Street.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Natalie, Yeah, good morning, Larry.
Speaker 15 (26:54):
Is it a bird, is it a plane or is
it a UFO? That's the big question in this morning
and it comes as the National UFO Reporting Center revealed
sixty six UFO sightings across New York State so far
this year. So what do people think about the number
(27:14):
of sightings.
Speaker 16 (27:15):
I have no idea why, but that is a lot
of numbers. So a lot of people are witnessing as USO.
But as far as me, we've seen one.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I haven't seen one at all.
Speaker 13 (27:23):
If there was sixty six, I'll come in and see it.
Speaker 10 (27:27):
You know.
Speaker 13 (27:27):
Any of our friends, all family, you know, and if
they're out here, you know they're doing a real good
job of flying two thousand miles And now we're UFO.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
We're a lot, right, they can be a lot.
Speaker 14 (27:41):
Wow, that's actually, that's believable, because we can't be the
only people out here honestly.
Speaker 15 (27:49):
Ooh, Now, if these sightings have come from right here
and they hang the patchog along Island to Mountain, Vernon
to Rochester. The first sighting of the year was six
minutes after midnight on January first, a circle shape that
appeared and suddenly disappeared in New York, New York. So
(28:10):
it had me asking people if it's easier to misidentify
a flying object in the big city.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Well, in the city, it's more like if you're walking
around with a lot of friends, you'll you'll constantly hear
the oh, that plane is kind of low, but it is.
Usually you could tell it's a plane because usually could
tell it's either descending or they tend to be pretty
pretty noticeable here, Like you don't have a problem identifying
what type of craft it is. You don't even really
see military aircraft here, so I can't even say that
so somebody seeing around this and that's definitely odd.
Speaker 14 (28:38):
It's it's something that you you well notice and it's fast,
so I'm not sure, like we can't get it wrong,
like you'll know, like that's a UFO. Like, that's a ufone.
Speaker 15 (28:48):
There, that's like said, that's a UFO. Now, there were
six UFO sightings in June alone, with one person reporting
they saw a metallic ball fly slightly under their airplane
while flying over New York City. Some New Yorkers think
there's a less imaginative answer for everything that has taken
(29:11):
to the sky.
Speaker 13 (29:12):
I would probably say that something from the government, because
the government makes stuff and they don't tell us, you know,
so we see some new we're confused.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
I tend to think a lot of like UFOs are
probably just military aircraft since they don't tend to tell
you their route or whatever. That's generally my first assumption.
Or it could be like, uh, weather balloon's. I know
there have been a lot of like unmanned aircraft as well.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Larry, what do you think, Oh, I agree with them
one thousand percent. I actually believe it's all military and
that they love us thinking they're UFOs so they can
have a cover. And I'm not the only one that
said that. We've talked to. We've talked to some experts
about this that said many of the UFOs. First of all,
there's a lot of things flying in the sky that
I can't identify, and so I don't think that they're
(30:01):
normally spacecraft. You know, it could be a drone, it
could be a million different things. But secondly, I do
believe that the military uses a lot of stuff that
that are in the sky that we see and we
think that it's something unusual, but and they know exactly
what it is, they just don't share it with us.
Speaker 15 (30:19):
Well, Larry, not everyone believes there are UFOs, but others
can believe it, even leading to the idea. I don't know, Larry,
You're not gonna like this when the idea of life
outside of planet Earth seeing is believing.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
So I got to see it to believe it. If
I seen it, I we believe it. You know what.
Speaker 14 (30:36):
I've never seen one personally, but from people that I've
known that seen one or something like, you can't miss it.
I feel like there are aliens actually, like with us
on Earth, their forms are different than humans. But I
believe like there are aliens out here there amongst us.
Could be could be you. I've always wanted to meet one.
I know it's a little crazy, but like I am
(30:57):
definitely curious.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Well, we exist, right, anything else can exist.
Speaker 16 (31:01):
It could be something that's to one by the gunment.
It possibly may be life and somewhere else. We have
to one day waiting for it to land here and
we'll find out what it is.
Speaker 11 (31:10):
They're open minded.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
I love it.
Speaker 15 (31:13):
Larry won't believe it until he shakes one of their
hands if they even had.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Hands, right, Well, apparently maybe I have and I just
didn't know it. That's what they're saying. It could be
any but could be one of you. I'm a going
to suspect, as a matter of fact.
Speaker 15 (31:28):
One more thing to worry about.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
That's exactly right. Thanks so much. Natalie mgleoy will be
back tomorrow morning at eight fifty. The search for bodies
continues in Texas, and ABC's Jim Ryan is there. We'll
get the latest from Jim after the nine o'clock news
Good morning to you.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
All.
Speaker 1 (00:02):
Thoughts and prayers are with the people of Central Texas
right now, as the death toll there is expected to
rise because at least a dozen people, mostly children, are
still missing. Death and destruction in Central Texas in the
wake of a once in a century flood.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
People that die, kids have died. We're still finding people
out here. We have to rebuild because what else do
we have about here?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
We have nothing. Literally, Jim Ryan was in Texas covering
the flood. If we're going to talk with him at
nine oh five, and the big beautiful bill is now law,
and after all the fear mongering by the Democrats is
going to provide many things, including the most secure border
(00:47):
in history.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
On this vote, the yaser two hundred and fifteen, the
nayser two hundred and fourteen, with one answering present, the
bill is passed.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
And so after dinning his bill passed. Donald Trump said
he will do everything he can to prevent zorin Mamdania
from becoming mayor of New York City.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
As president of the United States, I'm proclaiming here and
now that America is never going to be communist in
any way shape form, and that includes New York City.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
And before we get to Eric Hoffman from the New
York Sun, who is just back from Israel. By the way,
I do want to talk about the devastating Texas floods
that have impacted countless residents. Families have lost their homes,
communities and lives have been shattered, and as we mentioned,
children are still missing. The need in that area is urgent.
(01:47):
So because of that, we're asking if you can donate,
and if at all possible, if you can afford to donate,
donations go to Community Foundation dot net. They will go
directly to trusted local organizations to provide food, shelter, healthcare,
and most of all, hope. So if you're able to
(02:09):
donate Community Foundation dot net. Now let's get to Ariy
Hoffman and Ariy but before we talk about other things,
and I know we talked about this many times, and
thank you so much for talking with us when you
were in Israel. It was compelling. Do you have any
any final thoughts anyway to wrap this up in a
(02:29):
rib in your.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
Trip and glad to be with you. You know, I
think we really see the payoff not just from my
trip but but from the Twelfth Day War today in Washington, right,
Prime Minister nets Yahoo is meeting with with President Trump.
(02:51):
You know, lotses on the agenda, the possibility of a ceasefire,
what to do with Iran. There were some missiles from
Hoosies and Gemen lawn overnight at Israel. So that's another
kind of theater to keep to keep an eye on that.
This is you know, if there ever was high stakes diplomacy,
this is really it, Larry. And you know, all signs
(03:14):
seem to suggest that BB and Trump are really moving
in locksteps such that you know, Trump even put in
a good word for the Prime Minister with respect to
his legal troubles, something that President Trump no doubt has
a lot of empathy for, having been through that that
gauntlet himself.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah. Absolutely, the meeting at the White House is going
to be fascinating. There is some talk out there, and
I've heard from some pretty pretty in the know people
that I've trusted in the past that are saying that
there's going to be an expansion of the Abraham Accords
and it may be Syria.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
Yeah. Absolutely, And just to give a little bit of
historical contact, Larry, you know, it's easy to have to
take it for granted, but you know, Syria, for the
first day case of israel existence, was probably its most
formidable enemy under President Assad's father, also a President Assad,
and even in more recent history, the Asad regime was
(04:12):
implacably opposed to Israel, allied with Iran at the hip,
you know, totally devoted to their masters in Moscow. And
it's just a remarkable development that we might see sawing
of those relationships now. It's important not to get entirely
ahead of ourselves. I mean, you know, the Siia is
(04:35):
still being governed by a kind of you know, isis alum,
so I think that paution is deserved there. But still
it's a sign of Israel's strengths. It's it's a sign
of the transformative nature of the Abraham Accords that this
has now come into the realm of possibility and even
(04:56):
a security arrangement. It's short of full peace, it's still
a huge deal, Larry. I mean, remember, you know, Israel
shares a border with Celia and not you know, so
the kind of lowering of temperature there would be an
enormous development for the region.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah, Airy, I'm so glad you said that, because I
don't think Donald Trump got enough credit for the Abraham Accords,
and now reaching out to Syria when he was over
visiting in the Middle East, reaching out to Syria and
bringing them into the rest of the world, and letting
what he did was let bygones be bygones because there's
somebody new in charge. I am. I do not think
(05:39):
that a democratic president would have done that, and I
don't think that Biden certainly would have done that. I
think that only happens with Donald Trump in office. And
what's amazing to me is that I especially in the media,
I don't think he gets enough credit for some outstanding
things he's done that for some reason always fly under
the radar.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Yeah, no, absolutely. You know, I think the removing of
sanctions that we saw last week was a was a
first step here right Clearly there's a larger effort going
on behind the scenes, of diplomatic effort, and you know,
the payoff could be really big. I mean, not just
for Israel. Remember, you know Stria has also be deviled
(06:22):
American president, and you know, a kind of as you
as you as you said, Larry, bringing Celia closer to
the orbit of the West, you know, we'll have the
effect of weakening Iran even more and even made me
more importantly weakening Russian interests in the region and Chinese interests. Right,
(06:43):
So there's a real sense of kind of larger chess
going on here. Uh. And I totally agree with you
about the way in which the Pop Abraham Accords, even
just as a as a as a framework, have really
changed what's possible in the Middle East.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, and again, I just think it gets ignored by
the media, or it just gets a tepid response from
the media as they continue to look to criticize him.
I do want to talk about your column about the
Supreme Court, which I found fascinating. You think that they've
done a lot already, but you think that this is
(07:20):
going to extend right through the summer.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Yeah, you know, speak about kind of people being surprised
or consistently surprised. I think President Trump's success at the
Supreme Court has consistently shocked a lot of observers who
have consistently underrated his arguments and his chances. And we've
seen the conclusion just last week of a really successful
(07:44):
by any measure Supreme Court term around immigration issues. A
little farther back, he had some key wins on certain
side of government and what I've called the doge dock
at right cases that related to the shrinking of the
size of government. But now we see, you know, more
could be ahead. You know, just a couple of days ago,
(08:07):
the Supreme Court allowed him to deport eight people accused
of serious crimes excuse me, convicted of serious crimes to
South Sudan. So now the possibility of deportation to a
third country, right, not the country of origin and not
here in America, but in another country. And really the
big case next term, I think is going to turn
on the use of the elliot enemy fact well and
(08:28):
whether the president in his constitutional authority to deploy it.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Right. Well, what about birthright citizenship? They kind of were
they touched on it, but really punted on the key question.
And I you know, I think this will be as
big of a case as Roe in the reaction across
the country. If they decide to say no, birthright citizenship
(08:55):
was for slaves. That doesn't mean that anybody else that
is born here automatically becomes a citizen, which is a possibility.
I don't think it's going to happen, but it's certainly
a possibility.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Sure, and that's becoming I think more likely, Larry, because
we're now starting to see the certification of classes or
class action suits to challenge birthright citizenship, even in the
absence now of nationwide injunctions. And that could mean that
the case, as you mentioned, comes back up to the
Supreme Court on the merits right. So if we have
(09:26):
enough of these cases kind of percolating over the summer,
I don't think it would be shocking eventually for the
Court to say, Hey, you know, we ruled on process,
we ruled on injunctions. Let's actually sit down and decide
what did the fourteenth Amendment mean when it was written
in the aftermath of the Civil War, and what does
(09:47):
it mean today?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Right because the guy that originally wrote it, the senator
from Wisconsin I believe it was, got up and said,
of course, I'm not talking about people that just move
here and have children. I'm talking about the children of slaves.
Came out and said that it's just that a previous
support Supreme Court ruling saw it a different way. That's
the only thing that they that they talk about when
(10:08):
they say no, it's obviously means this.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Yeah, And you know, if you go back to eighteen
and sixty eight. I mean there was no immigration basically of.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Any time, right exactly.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Yeah, and that changed in the case in the nineteen
twenties that you allude to Wan kim Ark, which was,
you know, sort of a very different set of circumstances.
And it wouldn't be that hard, I think for the
court to say, Okay, we're going to skip past the
Wan kim RK case, go back to the origins right
as textualists, as originalists, and see the original context within
(10:42):
which the Fourteenth Amendment was written. It is very exclusively
a civil war contest.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, it'll be fascinating. Ary Hoffman, Associate editor of The
New York Sun. Thanks so much, Eric, good to talk
to you. Glad you're back.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
Ary.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
It's an age old question to recline on a plane
or not to recline and entitled Karen sparks the debate
on line we'll explain next. Plus tickets to see the
Steve Miller Band. Stay with us well. Always always appreciate
your talkbacks. They have been great so far, and please
keep him keep them coming. Go to the iHeartRadio app
(11:14):
look for seven to ten WR and hit the microphone
and if you win today as the best caller of
the morning, the best talkback of the morning, you will
get a MENI in the Morning t shirt, and then
all those winners compete at the end of the week
for a CEA Crane Radio, which is a new partner
to the show. It is amazing. I have two of
(11:36):
them at home and I'm buying many of them for
my relatives. You just go to Sacrane dot com, c
crn E dot com if you want to check them out.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
We're talking about Zohanmandani. The thing with this guy, no
matter the skeletons he has in his closet, Democrats don't
take we vote for policy as much as they vote
against who they don't like. It's a feelings game, and
this guy is Trump's number one enemy. Trump's made it
known that's gonna help him win.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
You're right, it has helped them. There's no question there
is such an anti Trump sentiment in the city that,
especially in New York, it could help him win. And
you think to yourself, Donald Trump must know that, right,
but he can keep Mom Donnie out of his mouth.
Speaker 7 (12:25):
I didn't catch where Gina worked, but that's absurd that
someone's complaining this generations so lazy that literally is your job.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Only things getting watered down? Is her tip?
Speaker 8 (12:40):
What a bring me mom?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
What it would lemon do?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
By the way, this is Gina's worst nightmare.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Yeah, i'd say lazy and entitled. It is amazing why
they think they can make the rules for their job.
Speaker 8 (12:59):
If you're not going to drink your water, don't order us.
And this started back when there was a water shortage
that you had to ask for water. Yes, that was
the old days.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yeah, I guess that's true, right, it did. That's when
it did.
Speaker 9 (13:15):
I do remember that there was some water shortage and like, oh,
you know you don't have to ask for your water.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
But yeah, I haven't noticed that. You're right, we do
every time have to order. When they say what would
you like to drink? We say, you know of a soda? Plus?
Can you bring the water? And nobody ever, nobody ever
pushes back on that.
Speaker 9 (13:34):
No, I have a lot of service. Who'll ask us
would you like water for the table? Because I agree
if you're not going to drink it, don't bother that's fine,
you know, don't waste the water the cup you have
to rewash it.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
I always bring it.
Speaker 10 (13:46):
Do you want sparkling or plane or whatever. Oh, she
goes to the fancy restaurants. Yeah, I'm kidding.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
So we can all agree on the water. Can we
agree also that genus.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Are I don't agree.
Speaker 10 (14:03):
I think Gina just needs to find a different job
where she can be happy and joyful with other jerks.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I just think she's not in the right spot.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Maybe that's very true. She is not in the right spot.
I'm not sure there's a real good spot for her.
But you'll learn, she'll learn. Yeah, poor Gina, We got
another question for you. How about when you're flying on
a plane. And the reason we're bringing this up is
because someone posted this on Reddit and got thousands of comments.
This is what they wrote. Maybe I'll set it up
(14:33):
this way. This is what they wrote. The guy in
front of me reclines fully, So I very gently recline
about halfway. Well, the woman behind me suddenly went into
full Karen mode, demanding three times I move my seat,
complaining to a flight attendant, whining about not being able
to use her laptop properly. Apparently, the flight attendant said, look,
(14:55):
she's allowed to recline. Yeah, and so she reclined her
seat all the way back because she was so upset
with the woman behind her, and then she claims she
never heard another word after that. Do you recline?
Speaker 10 (15:07):
Oh yeah, it hurts your back to sit straight like
that for so long. I like to stretch out and recline.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
I reclined probably an inch, just enough to slightly put
myself back.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
That's all I need.
Speaker 9 (15:20):
I start that way, and if I really need a
little more, I will, But I go inch by inch
if I have to go.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I'm with you. I talk tough, but when it comes
down to it, I don't go all the way back
because I don't want to annoy the person in back
of me. I don't.
Speaker 10 (15:32):
But they set it up to recline just so much
so that you're not like laying in the lap of
the person and behind you.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
If you see it's broken. I can understand.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
If you're a certain height, that's great. When you're six
foot three, it doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Have you ever give it for you?
Speaker 11 (15:45):
I was gonna.
Speaker 9 (15:45):
Have you ever give a gentle shove to the person
ahead of you who went all the way back?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, My knees go up into their back. Now.
The eight thirty News with Jacqueline Carl Jacqueline.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Good Morning.
Speaker 10 (15:58):
Desperate search and rescue operations can continue after catastrophic flash
flooding killed at least eighty one people in central Texas.
The death toll includes at least twenty eight children in
Kirk County, where ten girls and a counselor from Camp
Mystic are still missing. Governor Greg Abbott says those search
and recovery efforts will continue around the clock despite the
(16:19):
possibility of further flash flooding, and a New Jersey native
is being praised for his efforts and helping rescue scores
of Texas flood victims.
Speaker 12 (16:28):
US Department of Homeland Security Secretary christynom Is highlighting the
effort that twenty six year old Scott Ruskin is made
as a US Coast Guard rescue swimmer. He's from Oxford,
New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
She says.
Speaker 12 (16:39):
Roskin directly saved one hundred and sixty five victims and
what is his first rescue mission of his career. Nome
says he was the only triage coordinator at the scene
and that his selfless courage embodies the spirit and mission
of the Coastguard. I'm Scattpringle wr News.
Speaker 10 (16:54):
So this next story begs the question are we low
on cardboard boxes in this country? According to bro Bible, recently,
this guy named Steve Wyatt received a USPS package that
was more than a little concerning. When the box arrived,
it was clearly marked with a label that read cremated remains.
So why It's why posted a video of her cautiously
(17:17):
opening the box, only to find that it contained a
twelve pack of Doctor Pepper cream soda zero sugar that
her husband, Steve, had recently ordered from Walmart. Now, the
soda was likely fine, but the similarities between cream and
cremated is unsettling. Would you drink it? And have you
ever gotten one tiny item in a giant box? Like
(17:38):
what's going on with the boxes in this place?
Speaker 6 (17:40):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
I've absolutely gotten tiny items in a giant box with
a lot of patting. That happens all the time. Yeah,
I don't know why it happens, but they must have
a I guess they do have a small box shortage.
Speaker 10 (17:49):
I'm not sure cremated remains. Did you get cream soda
in it?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I don't get that. No, no, that, did you drink it? Happens?
Speaker 13 (17:56):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Would you just feel too?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
But for another reason, I don't like cream soda. Would
I drink something else? Yeah? Probably, yeah, as long as
it's as long as it's you know, tight.
Speaker 10 (18:06):
I know it's a can or a bottle or something,
but still it's very creepy and I just thought we
should know about it.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Thanks so much, Jacqueline Carl and congratulations to Liz Rye
from Babylon Long Island. You just want to pair of
tickets to see the Steve Miller Band at north Well
Health at Jones Beach Theater on August twenty fourth. You
can purchase tickets at ticketmaster dot com and another chance
to win tomorrow morning at eight twenty five. Well, Trump
(18:34):
signs the big beautiful Bill, but if you listen to
the mainstream media, you've only heard anything bad about it.
But there's a lot more good in the bill, and
Daily Caller White House correspondent Reagan Reese will walk us
through it next. Let us know how you feel. Leave
us a talkback all morning long. Go to seven ten
wr on the iHeartRadio app and click the microphone and
(18:56):
when you're there, put seven to ten woor on your preset.
Plus you could win a limited edition MENTI in the
Morning t shirt, which will be awarded every day to
our favorite talkback of the morning, and now this is new,
the talk back of the week will be awarded a
sea crane radio. Sea crane radios that work when it
(19:17):
matters most well. Donald Trump signs the big beautiful bill
in Donald Trump's fashion. He and Milania go out to
the balcony at the White House and addresses the crowd.
Then he comes downstairs and there's a lot of Republicans
that were involved, a lot of Cabinet members there, and
he signs it in front of the world. And of
(19:39):
course there's immediate criticism by the mainstream media talking about
what a horrible bill it is and how much it's
going to hurt the country. So let's talk to Reagan Reese,
White House correspondent for the Daily Caller and Independent Women's
Foreign Visiting Fellow about all of that. First of all, Reagan,
it was quite a show, oh he put on when
(20:01):
he signed that bill, wasn't it?
Speaker 14 (20:04):
Yes? It was.
Speaker 11 (20:05):
I think it's perfect.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
And the administration completely lucked out with the fact that
the bill was in fact passed and made it to
President Trump's desk by July fourth, because it perfectly coincided
with everything he had planned to celebrate the birthday, the
birthday of our nation.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
It is amazing that they got it done exactly when
he maybe a few hours later. It was supposed to
be by at noon. They didn't make that, but it
was there fast enough, and it certainly was great for
the performance that he had in introducing the bill. Since then,
the bill, of course, has been slammed over and over again,
especially about Medicaid cuts and some other things, but mostly
(20:47):
about Medicaid and lost in all of the reporting, Reagan,
it seems like anything good in the bill. So can
you list some of the things in the bill that
are good things? Since all of her about of the
bad things.
Speaker 11 (21:01):
Well, I'll say this if the noise is too exhausting.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
You know, it's typically the critics of President Trump who
are critiquing the bill. It's not the people who voted
for him that are.
Speaker 11 (21:14):
Going to be upset about this.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
This is a piece of legislation that codifies a large
amount of President Trump's agenda, which is what conservatives, maga
Republicans have been kind of complaining about Congress not doing.
Speaker 11 (21:29):
And so what this bill does is it.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Puts in a permanent extension of Trump's twenty seventeen tax cuts,
It provides billions of dollars to new security, border.
Speaker 11 (21:40):
Security, and defense spending.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
It does slash MEDICAIDS spending by about a trillion dollars
over a ten year period.
Speaker 11 (21:49):
And that's really the bulk of it is.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
It is defense, border spending, and tax cuts, and those
are the big things that it hits on.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
The billion dollars in saving in medicaid, which is what
is being hit on all of the time, more than
anything else on the bill, That's what's talked about. From
what I understand, You can tell me if this is correct,
most of that, if not all of it is getting
people off that were off the rolls, that can work,
(22:21):
that are able bodied and insisting that they go to work,
and taking off those who are in the country illegally.
Does that make up all of it?
Speaker 14 (22:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:31):
From my understanding, I think medicaid is a really tricky thing.
And we've seen the President go back and forth himself.
There's been numerous reports and I remember writing a story
a couple of months ago where one day he said.
Speaker 11 (22:44):
Don't cut medicaid. I don't want it touched at all.
Do cut medicaid.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
You must touch Medicaid, and then it was back, don't
touch Medicaid. And so it's this ever evolving issue that
I just don't think is black and white, regardless of
how sensical it might seem to you. And I I
think it's very complicated for these for Congress, for the President,
(23:09):
and I think that's been illustrated through this battle for
the big beautiful bill.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
But if they take off all of the people, I mean,
the people in this country illegally if you hear numbers
between ten million and twenty million, but it's millions of
people we can agree on that if they are getting
medicaid and you take them off, that could easily be
that trillion dollars right there.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
I do believe.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
I reported earlier this year that the Department of Government
Efficiency had actually gone through and found, you know, both
illegal immigrants and just immigrants who did not qualify for
medicaid who were on Medicaid and took them off. And
so it looks like this has been something the administration
has been working on over the last couple of months
(23:53):
as well, and including this Department of Government Efficiency.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
And let's get to your exclusive, because the last we
talk to you had an exclusive you seem you have
an exclusive every week. And this is the fact that
the State Department, and we're talking about cutting funds again,
cutting funds with some unnecessary people. We're talking about paying
underperforming diplomats, and in diplomats, it may not actually be
diplomats anymore, but they still get some funding, and they
(24:21):
still get some money. The Trump administration wants to cut
that out completely.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Right, Yes, the State Department is ending a program that
for decades has given benefits and funds to low performing
diplomats rather than phasing them out of the department. So
they're essentially not doing their duties anymore, they're not working anymore,
and instead of phasing them out of the government, the
government has been supporting them. And we obtained a memo
(24:50):
that was going throughout the State Department to notify the
State Department of this.
Speaker 11 (24:56):
Decision.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
And what's really interesting is that it's been advised but
time after time, that this program is actually in violation
of the law and that it should be removed from
the State Department. And even in twenty eighteen, according to
this memo, Trump's first State Department had the opportunity to
get rid of this program and declined to do so.
Speaker 11 (25:16):
So, you know, I think there's a lot of talk
about this.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Trump second term and how it's so much different and
better than that first term. And I think this is
a perfect example of how much more serious the second
Trump White House is compared to the for Trump White House.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Yeah. I think he listened to a lot of the
wrong people in the first time around, and he's learned
from that this time. Reagan Reese White House, correspondent for
The Daily Caller and Independent Women's Foreign Visiting Fellow. Thanks
so much, Reagan. Talk to you again next week.
Speaker 11 (25:48):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I'm sure you'll have another exclusive then too.
Speaker 6 (25:51):
Well.
Speaker 11 (25:51):
Hopefully I need to figure something out to work on today.
Speaker 1 (25:55):

Beat on the Street with Natalie Migliori reportedly over sixty
(26:40):
UFOs were spotted over in New York this past year.
Have you seen one? How about the people on the
street That is the subject of Natalie mcgliori's Beat on
the Street.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Natalie, Yeah, good morning, Larry.
Speaker 15 (26:54):
Is it a bird, is it a plane or is
it a UFO? That's the big question in this morning
and it comes as the National UFO Reporting Center revealed
sixty six UFO sightings across New York State so far
this year. So what do people think about the number
(27:14):
of sightings.
Speaker 16 (27:15):
I have no idea why, but that is a lot
of numbers. So a lot of people are witnessing as USO.
But as far as me, we've seen one.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I haven't seen one at all.
Speaker 13 (27:23):
If there was sixty six, I'll come in and see it.
Speaker 10 (27:27):
You know.
Speaker 13 (27:27):
Any of our friends, all family, you know, and if
they're out here, you know they're doing a real good
job of flying two thousand miles And now we're UFO.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
We're a lot, right, they can be a lot.
Speaker 14 (27:41):
Wow, that's actually, that's believable, because we can't be the
only people out here honestly.
Speaker 15 (27:49):
Ooh, Now, if these sightings have come from right here
and they hang the patchog along Island to Mountain, Vernon
to Rochester. The first sighting of the year was six
minutes after midnight on January first, a circle shape that
appeared and suddenly disappeared in New York, New York. So
(28:10):
it had me asking people if it's easier to misidentify
a flying object in the big city.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Well, in the city, it's more like if you're walking
around with a lot of friends, you'll you'll constantly hear
the oh, that plane is kind of low, but it is.
Usually you could tell it's a plane because usually could
tell it's either descending or they tend to be pretty
pretty noticeable here, Like you don't have a problem identifying
what type of craft it is. You don't even really
see military aircraft here, so I can't even say that
so somebody seeing around this and that's definitely odd.
Speaker 14 (28:38):
It's it's something that you you well notice and it's fast,
so I'm not sure, like we can't get it wrong,
like you'll know, like that's a UFO. Like, that's a ufone.
Speaker 15 (28:48):
There, that's like said, that's a UFO. Now, there were
six UFO sightings in June alone, with one person reporting
they saw a metallic ball fly slightly under their airplane
while flying over New York City. Some New Yorkers think
there's a less imaginative answer for everything that has taken
(29:11):
to the sky.
Speaker 13 (29:12):
I would probably say that something from the government, because
the government makes stuff and they don't tell us, you know,
so we see some new we're confused.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
I tend to think a lot of like UFOs are
probably just military aircraft since they don't tend to tell
you their route or whatever. That's generally my first assumption.
Or it could be like, uh, weather balloon's. I know
there have been a lot of like unmanned aircraft as well.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Larry, what do you think, Oh, I agree with them
one thousand percent. I actually believe it's all military and
that they love us thinking they're UFOs so they can
have a cover. And I'm not the only one that
said that. We've talked to. We've talked to some experts
about this that said many of the UFOs. First of all,
there's a lot of things flying in the sky that
I can't identify, and so I don't think that they're
(30:01):
normally spacecraft. You know, it could be a drone, it
could be a million different things. But secondly, I do
believe that the military uses a lot of stuff that
that are in the sky that we see and we
think that it's something unusual, but and they know exactly
what it is, they just don't share it with us.
Speaker 15 (30:19):
Well, Larry, not everyone believes there are UFOs, but others
can believe it, even leading to the idea. I don't know, Larry,
You're not gonna like this when the idea of life
outside of planet Earth seeing is believing.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
So I got to see it to believe it. If
I seen it, I we believe it. You know what.
Speaker 14 (30:36):
I've never seen one personally, but from people that I've
known that seen one or something like, you can't miss it.
I feel like there are aliens actually, like with us
on Earth, their forms are different than humans. But I
believe like there are aliens out here there amongst us.
Could be could be you. I've always wanted to meet one.
I know it's a little crazy, but like I am
(30:57):
definitely curious.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Well, we exist, right, anything else can exist.
Speaker 16 (31:01):
It could be something that's to one by the gunment.
It possibly may be life and somewhere else. We have
to one day waiting for it to land here and
we'll find out what it is.
Speaker 11 (31:10):
They're open minded.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
I love it.
Speaker 15 (31:13):
Larry won't believe it until he shakes one of their
hands if they even had.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Hands, right, Well, apparently maybe I have and I just
didn't know it. That's what they're saying. It could be
any but could be one of you. I'm a going
to suspect, as a matter of fact.
Speaker 15 (31:28):
One more thing to worry about.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
That's exactly right. Thanks so much. Natalie mgleoy will be
back tomorrow morning at eight fifty. The search for bodies
continues in Texas, and ABC's Jim Ryan is there. We'll
get the latest from Jim after the nine o'clock news
