Hour 4: How to ask for a raise

How to ask for a raise.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, thanks for being with us this morning. Going to
be a beautiful day. Hope you get out and enjoy it.
In the Big Three, President Trump says he's sending the
National Guard into Chicago. Whether the mayor likes it, whether
governor likes it or not, Well, we're going in.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
I didn't say when we're going in when you lose. Look,
I have an obligation. This isn't a political thing.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
I have an obligation. They're trying to figure out the
law right now, but everybody seems to agree. He can
call a state of emergency and go in and send
in the National Guard, but they are limited to where
they can go. They can only protect federal property in
an emergency. In the meantime, he's flooding the zone as

(00:47):
the border of Zar likes to say with Ice officers.
After meeting with ten victims of Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile ring,
the House Oversight Committee is going to hold public hearings
today with some of those victims testifying out in the open.
This is what Congressman Thomas Massey said about today's hearing yesterday.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
What's going to change everything is tomorrow at ten thirty,
when we have the survivors testifying in public, some of
whom have never spoken publicly, and they've already met with
the Oversight Committee, and it was allegedly a very emotional meeting.
And that's all behind closed doors, but it's going to

(01:30):
be open to the public.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
A lot of the congressional representatives were shaken up when
they left the behind closed door hearing yesterday, calling for
the arrest of some very powerful men, not naming names,
just saying that there's some very rich and powerful men
that need to be arrested. So today is going to
be fascinating. In the New York City mayoral race Canada,

(01:55):
Jim Walden, who was running fifth in the polls, he
never really had a shot winning. He was pulling in
about three percent of the vote. He's ended his campaign
and urges other candidates now to do the same.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
But at this point it's really important that there'd be
one free market candidate against the socialist agenda of mister Mumdannie.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
It seems like Eric Adams, he's been on a vacation.
He says. At first, I thought, oh, is he going
to drop out? Two? He wants both Eric Adams, I'm
talking about Jim Walton he wants both Mayor Adams and
Curtis Lee Wore to drop out so that Cuomo can
then defend defeat ZORINMM Donnie, it was the first day

(02:38):
back to school for many kids in the state of
New York out in Long Island, first day back to
school in many of the upstate counties, and it's the
first day of no cell phone use, which, by the way,
from the students, got mixed reviews. I don't really like it.
How come is like is born today?

Speaker 5 (02:57):
I felt like like I paid attention.

Speaker 6 (02:59):
Yeah, productive, is that a good thing? Yeah, it's a
good thing.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Well, something happened overnight that really kind of flew under
the radar. If you were a follower, a close follower
of the news, you probably picked up on it. But
I think it was extremely significant. The US military, under
Donald Trump's orders, conducted a strike on a boat carrying

(03:24):
drugs from Venezuela to the Caribbean.

Speaker 7 (03:28):
I think as long as those vessels are in the region,
and as long as the President's in the White House,
he's made very clear he's not going to allow the
United States to continue to be flooded with cocaine and
fentanyl and other drugs coming from different places, this one
from Venezuela, which it is a common route, and by
the way, some of it ends up in Europe, a
lot of it ends up in Puerto Rico and then
on into the United States.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
But this event marks the very first time there's been
a military operation in the region since the US increased
its presence in the Caribbean. As you may know, there's
been heightened tension between Venezuela and the United States for
some time, ever since President Nicholas Maduro was elected, someone

(04:07):
that our Justice Department says runs a cartel. And it
was a funky election, if you remember, with many accusing him,
accusing Meduro of fixing the election, of taking power even
though he wasn't duly elected. So right now the US

(04:27):
is ramping up, and this has been happening over the
last couple of months, ramping up not only the fight
against the drug cartels, but specifically Venezuela. Now Mexico has
been getting all the attention. No, no, no, no, no,
Venezuela seems to be right now in the crosshairs. Listen
to this. They have sent two thousand marines to the region.

(04:52):
They have a guided missile cruiser in the region, the
USS Eerie, and a nuclear powered fast attack submarine, the
USS Newport News. Now, that doesn't sound like the kind
of weaponry you use to take down just a couple
of drug lords, does it. That sounds like a massive

(05:15):
war operation. And I know Nicholas Maduro is very upset.
He's been having speeches about this over and over again,
saying that the US is plotting to oust him from power.
And I'll tell you this, there's a lot of people
in Venezuela that would love to see it. But in
the meantime, right now, this was the first action in

(05:38):
that operation. Everybody was trying to figure out, why are
we sending all those ships? What is this all about?
And as the Secretary of State Marco Rubio said yesterday,
this is what it's all about.

Speaker 7 (05:49):
So the President's been very clear though, he's going to
use the full power of America, full might of the
United States to take on and eradicate these drug cartel
no matter where they're pop and no matter how long
they've been able to act with impunity, that those days
are over.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
People who fled from the region, from Venezuela and other
South American countries, who have had to feel the weight
of Meduro, have to watch as he took over a
country that they loved and ranted into the ground. Like
Congressman Carlos Amenez in Florida, they're applauding what happened. God

(06:27):
a pretty militant guy.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
When it comes to Venezuela, He's there illegitimately.

Speaker 8 (06:31):
He's also a security threat to the United States of America.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
He's ahead of an international cartel that frankly has been
killing Americans.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, so this is something really to keep an eye on,
because those ships are still there, those marines are still there.
It seems like Venezuela and specifically Maduro. By the way,
Meduro isn't recognized as the president by many countries in
the free world because of the way that election went.
They claim he's an illegitimate president elect and they recognize

(07:03):
ed Mundo Gonzalez, who has now fleed the country as
the duly elected president. Meduro also, by the way, before
he was elected, they claim he ran a cartel. The
Justice Department says he ran a cartel, The FBI says
he ran a cartel. He denies that. The United States.

(07:23):
In the meantime, as a fifty million dollar price on
his head. He is considered by our government a terrorist.
So think of all the things that have happened in
the last couple of months. Not only did we put
a price on Meduro's head, not only did we say
we have a war on terrorism. Not only did we

(07:46):
say the cartels are terrorist organizations and said that Meduro
is the head of a cartel. And then we send
troops off of Venezuela, and we send a nuclear submarine
off the coast of Venezuela. Hmm, what do you think
happens next? I mean, this is really much of this

(08:07):
has been flying under the radar until now, until this
boat was taken out. I would not be surprised if
we see action in Venezuela. It would be I will
tell you this, it would be an international bruja haa.

(08:28):
Let's put it that way. I'll try to downplay the
word I was going to use if this happens, because
that would be in US invading another country. But what
the United States and what the Donald Trump administration is
going to say, he is the head of a cartel.
We have authority under US law to go after terrorists
and the cartels. Now, remember our terrorist to go after

(08:51):
a terrorist organization and protect Americans, and that that is
the excuse, that is the reasoning we use now to
go intovent as well. I just want to put that
on your radar so that when it happens, you can go, ah,
now I know why this is happening. In the meantime,

(09:12):
just really quickly. The fight on tariffs is happening right now.
That ridiculous federal judge in California throughout most of the tariffs,
and Donald Trump says he's going right to the Supreme Court.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
We're going to be going to the Supreme wor we
think tomorrow, because we need an early decision.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
I will tell you what, if these tariffs are overturned,
that's going to throw the economy into a tailspin.

Speaker 4 (09:35):
We think we're going to win at the Supreme Court.
President Trump, myself, the economic team in the cabinet believe
that we are close to a tipping point where we
could have financial instability due to these large and persistent
trade deficits. So we are trying to head off a crisis.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yeah, why do I think the Democrats would like that?
Right now? The number one move on the number one movie,
I should say on Netflix right now is a K
pop cartoon And if you don't know what K pop is,
we'll get you up to speed so you can impress
your kids. That's after the break, just when you figured
out technology here come to AI. Let's face it, we're

(10:18):
all gonna have to drive on that learning curve. That's
why you have been absolutely tremendous today with your talkbacks.
Thanks so much for them. You make the show so
much better. And now we're gonna play a couple of
more and then we're gonna decide. The committee is gonna
decide in the other room. It's locked away. It's like

(10:39):
a vault in there. You can't get in. We will
find out who wins Talkback of the Morning to get
that highly coveted Mintie in the Morning T shirt.

Speaker 9 (10:47):
Hi, Larry, I just want to say you're being a
real two faced against Curtis now. One minute you're kissing
up to him, and now you're telling him to drop
out of the race. That's really not nice. He worked
really hard, he deserves to run, he deserves to be
in the race, and he shouldn't have to drop out

(11:08):
for anyone. And I wouldn't vote for Cuomo if he
was last man on the planet. We don't need Grandma
Killer anymore.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah, I love the Grandma Killer line. Listen. I don't
feel like I'm being two faced about Curtis Liwa. I
actually love Curtisliwa. I have great admiration for him and
many thanks for Curtisliwa. My feeling is that we have
an existential threat. We have a socialist who says he

(11:39):
wants to spread socialism around the country. If he gets in,
that's being praised almost like he's a Hollywood star. And
if there are three candidates running against him, he's going
to win. They're splitting up the vote. And I know
a lot of this is ego, as Joe Burrelli, who's

(12:01):
the former minority leader in the City Council, has said
many times, and a tried and true Republican has said
many times, I'm going to vote for who's ever in
second place, and right now in second place. I'm not
a fan, not a fan at all. I'd rather have
Curtis Lee as mayor than Andrew Cuomo. But if Andrew

(12:21):
Cuomo is the one that can take out zorin Mam Danni,
then I'll hold my nose and hope that he wins,
because that's there's too much at stake. There's too much
at stake to say, you know what, Curtis, I don't
think he's gonna win, but I really like him. I
want him to stay on the race now. It's too important.
Tough decisions have to be made, and those tough decisions

(12:44):
have to be made not only by Curtis Leewa, but
by Eric Adams. It's early right now, I understand that,
and the debates aren't till October. But I'm afraid that
by the second debate it's going to be too late.
So I hope that explain, did I look it? I
wish Curtisely what I wish the city was more Republican,

(13:05):
would have less problems, but it's not. And Curtosely will
have a difficult time, if not an impossible time, of
winning this election. And I'll tell you what, Cuomo is
going to have a difficult time if the other two
stay in. That's what I'm looking at right now. Thanks
a lot for the talk back.

Speaker 10 (13:25):
I have better ideas for keeping productive during the day.
I could do anything in twenty minutes, whether it's washing
my dishes, full in my laundry, cleaning the sink in
the toilet. So I do things in twenty minute increments,
and then I take a break. And sometimes it's a
twenty minute break. And I know that this is for work,

(13:45):
But if you think in twenty minute increments, everything goes
so much faster.

Speaker 5 (13:49):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
I love that idea. Yeah, I do it a little
bit differently. I work in twenty minute increments, and then
I rest for the rest of the time. Oh, the
whole time, yeah, so minute. Yeah, and then you're really
a productive twenty minutes, okay, a super productive twenty minutes.

Speaker 11 (14:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (14:06):
Yeah, you put on your cape and you But I
think people, you know, people don't realize how important that
rest period is.

Speaker 6 (14:13):
I mean, whether you're doing you know, studying or cleaning,
because then you could get through the next part with
more energy. Yeah, and you know so, and I don't
do it. I usually work until I drop. That's a
terrible way of doing things.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
That is very true. I pass out and you're not working.
You're worried about what you're not doing, right, Yes, it's
not yes, it's just so.

Speaker 6 (14:41):
Then don't worry, just keep working.

Speaker 5 (14:44):
Well, they say it takes about twenty minutes to get
fully engaged into something and then you're not worried about anymore.
It's not tough because you're you're totally focused on what
you're doing.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
That makes sense. I'm going to change things up. Maybe
I'll go a half hour instead of working for minutes.
Maybe that'll Maybe that's the secret. Have you do either
of you know what K pop is? Yeses? Okay? Good?
I don't think a whole lot of people. It really
is just short for Korean pop music. That's all it is,
and it's enormous. Now you may not know that if

(15:16):
you're over a certain age, but your kids certainly know it.
And right now, if you're trying to figure out why
k Pop Demon Hunters is the number one show on Netflix,
it's because they are that big and the and the
actors involved in this couldn't be more thrilled.

Speaker 12 (15:36):
It is so impressive how smart these kids are, but
also so fun to see people of all different ages
from all over the world just loving this movie together.
I mean, we really have the fans to think they
know everything, they know more than we do, and that
excitement is so contagious. So I feel like if you
haven't seen the movie, you're watching it because someone.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Right next to you loves it. And if you watch it,
you're watching it for one hundredth time.

Speaker 6 (16:01):
And it's still fun every single time.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
And these singalongs are just so marvelous, right didn't they
mention the singalongs, their singalongs throughout the movie? And listen
to this. This is how big the movie is. Right
now on the Billboard top one hundred. They have four
top ten hits from this movie that probably none of
us heard of. Again, it's K Pop Demon Hunters in

(16:25):
case you want to check it out. Now, Let's get
the News at nine to thirty with Jacqueline Carl.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
Jacqueline Larry, Good Morning. Victims of late sex funder Jeffrey
Epstein and Galline Maxwell will speak about their abuse on
Capitol Hill today. It's the latest chapter in what's turned
into the contentious investigation into the so called Epstein Files.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
And a school board.

Speaker 5 (16:45):
On Long Island is approving a settlement with New York
State that tweaks their mascot name to comply with state law.

Speaker 11 (16:52):
The connect Quat Central School District has voted to use
the name t Birds instead of Thunderbirds. This is part
of a settlement deal after the state sue the district
for refusing to change the name. New state law bands
Native American names and mascots in public schools. The settlement
allows the district to keep the imagery and logos that
go along with the t bird's name. I'm scappringle WRDWS.

Speaker 5 (17:12):
So we have to keep our eye on Chicago, and
not for the reasons you may think. I just love this.
If this works, it could really help us in New
York and other cities. According to fizz dot org, Chicago
researchers are testing a new approach to controlling rats, using
plant based birth control pellets instead of poison, after three
beloved owls in Lincoln Park died from eating poisoned rats.

(17:36):
The pellets look like dry catfood and are placed in
black feeding stations around a four block area of Lincoln Park. Now,
unlike rat poison that builds up in animal's bodies and
kills owls and hawks that eat the rats, this plant
bait based method breaks down quickly in the rat's liver
and won't harm other wildlife.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
This could say flock, oh the owl, And.

Speaker 6 (17:57):
If that's what I was just thinking, because that's what
did flock.

Speaker 5 (18:00):
Go in yes, and a lot of others. So now
and it canrol It can control the rat population. We
won't need a rat sar who I've not heard about
in a million years anyway, don't what happened to that person,
But anyway, I just think we should keep our eye
in Chicago and see if these pellets work, and if

(18:22):
they do, we need to implement them all around. This
is what would happen if I were running things anyway.
The opening bell is sponsored by Dime Community Bank. We've

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Thanks so much, Jack Lincarl. Thinking about asking for a raise,
career expert Greg gian Grande tells us when to go
for it and how not to blow it. So stay

news this afternoon. Welcome back. So do you have a

(19:33):
hard time talking about money with your boss, talking about
your salary with your boss? I know, I do. I
know a lot of people really have a problem with
this getting up the courage to go in and talk
about their salary. Greg gan Grande is the person to
go to for this career advice expert with us every
Wednesday at this time. You can check them out at

(19:55):
go to Greg dot com. I love that you're talking
about this today, Greg, because who knows And how do
you know when it's the right time to go in
and ask for a raise?

Speaker 8 (20:08):
Well, great, great topic and questions, and I can tell
you that generally, what's going on in the labor market
right now, the conditions aren't great for asking for a
raise because so many companies are looking at how they
can implement AI to slow down hiring to even do

(20:33):
some layoffs, So you have to be really careful with
the approach and the timing. A couple of things that's
really important for everyone to understand. Most companies have a
compensation structure for every role, and each role has a
salary range that's benchmarked against the market. And where you're

(20:54):
paid and how much the company is willing to pay
is based on really two things, your performance and your
overall value to the company. And things like you need
more money for your personal finances or cost of living
are never good reasons for asking for a race.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah, it's interesting what you said because of the current conditions.
It sounds like you're saying read the room, like read
the economy right now, because there's a good time to
go in and ask, and there's a bad time to
go in and ask. And it may not just be
in your workplace, but across the country. You have to
you have to figure out what the good time is

(21:36):
to go in and now may not be the best time, right.

Speaker 8 (21:41):
So correct a good time is if you've taken on
more responsibility. So it could even be that your company
is conducting some layoffs and the people who remain are
given bigger jobs and more responsibility. I wouldn't say immediately
after after that, but after a period of time, at

(22:02):
least six months to a year. If you've been given
more responsibility as a result of even a negative time
at the company where they've been contracting, it could be
appropriate then to ask for a raise. If you've reached
a major milestone, you delivered on a key initiative, a
key project that was really important to the company, that

(22:24):
could be a good time. And certainly if the company
has a structured performance review process where you're supposed to
be talking about your career, learning, development, growth, and compensation,
that would be a good time to have these discussions.
But it should be part of a normal flow of

(22:46):
how you are performing and you demonstrating your value and
your impact, and not because you want more money or
you need more money, and never as a threat that
some competitor or somebody else is offering you more.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Greg you're great at reading both sides of the room,
and that both the employers and the employees are employees.
Can you just wait for them? Are they pretty good
at knowing when they should give you a raise?

Speaker 8 (23:17):
Are employers good at knowing lawyers? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I
would say that it is a fair assessment that most
companies try to pay as much as they have to
to keep their talent, but not a penny more So,
there are very few companies saying I think you're doing

(23:39):
a great job and you're not complaining about how much
you're getting paid, but I want to give you more anyway.
Typically that would happen if a company is promoting you
and you're really top talent and there's someone they're afraid
of losing. I think those people who fall into that category,
companies are pretty good at making sure that they're keeping

(24:00):
them at the high end of the range. Everyone else,
there's the normal review process. Companies have an annual merit
review process, or if you're part of a union, that's
already built into your tracks. I wouldn't say for the
majority of employees, this is top of mind for management
to think about how to give more employees more money.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
So you go in, you ask for a raise and
you're told no, What do you do next?

Speaker 8 (24:31):
Well, you need to understand why no? And what does
no mean? No because you're not performing well, No because
the budget is closed and not until the next budget cycle.
You have to understand what that means and why, because
in that dictate whether or not you should start looking

(24:51):
for another job. It could be no, you're not really
performing well and so you're lucky you have a job,
let alone asking for a raise. It could be a response,
do you think that you have to understand what the
no means and why and if there's an opportunity for
it to be reconsidered in the future, and what those
conditions would be. What do you have to do, how

(25:13):
do you take on more, what do they need to
see in your performance, et cetera in order for that
no to turn into a yes.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
For most people, man, it's such a stressful thing to
do to get up the courage to figure out what
you're going to say, What are the what are the
real preparations you should take before you enter the boss's office.

Speaker 13 (25:35):
The facts of what you do, what you've delivered, how
you've demonstrated value to the company, and where your compensation
is relative to the market. So that's easy to find
now with so much publicly available information and compensation. If
you are someone who is valued by the company, and

(25:58):
you can demonstrate that value by the accomplishments you've had,
and you can demonstrate that relative to the market, you're
not at the top end.

Speaker 8 (26:09):
Those are the kind of research and preparation you can
do to walk into a conversation like this and have
the best chance for a better outcome.

Speaker 6 (26:18):
Okay, Greg, you're an HR. You've been in the room
when the person came.

Speaker 9 (26:24):
And they did a subtle I don't.

Speaker 6 (26:27):
Want to say threat, but you how many times does
that work out for that person, like, Oh, there's so
many other opportunities, I really want to stay here, but
but bu like zero.

Speaker 8 (26:40):
So depending on the person, you can probably get away
with that once. For most people it's okay, Well, if
you feel you can find a better opportunity paying more
elsewhere than good luck to you, So you run the
risk of getting that response, which is why you never
want to make a threat. If you are interested in

(27:01):
testing your market value, go out and get a job offer,
and then you are certainly welcome to let your employer
know that you have a job offer, you better be
prepared to take it because they may just say, well,
we're sorry to lose you. Good luck. But if you're
doing it just as leverage to try to get more money,

(27:22):
and then your boss says that and you don't really
want that job. You're going to look awfully foolish by
saying all right, well never mind, I'll stay.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
Wait a second, isn't it a good idea to already
have the job offer when you go in, like exactly, yeah,
you go in and gay, that's what I thought you
were saying. So yeah, no, it'd be wonderful to walk
in and then you have to decide between the two jobs.

Speaker 8 (27:44):
That's real leverage because you are willing to actually walk away.
There are some people who go out and get job
offers because they think that'll prompt their employer to give
them more money, and they have no intention of taking
that job offer. And I know a lot of people.
It's in my career where people have come to me
and I said, well, I'm sorry, we would love to

(28:04):
keep you, but there's not anything more that we can do,
and then the person kind of with the tail between
the legs says, well, you know what, I've really really
thought about it, and I'm happier here and I'm just
going to stay here.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Oh no, you have to be prepared to leave, and
how do you feel about that?

Speaker 8 (28:21):
Everybody does, and I've seen people from back saying okay,
you know I really love it here, and the extra
money I can earn elsewhere, while important to me, that's
not more important than might.

Speaker 6 (28:34):
Happiness where the company knows they really are not happy.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Oh, you're a dead man walking at that point. You're dead.
That's it. That's it. You might as well leave at
that point, No exactly, which is.

Speaker 8 (28:45):
Why I said, if you're going to go out and
get a job offer, and you're going to use as leverage,
you better be prepared to take that offer.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
Thanks so much, Greg, g and Grande. I don't think
I'm ever going to ask for a raise ever after
hearing this, For that was the whole point. He's an
HR guy. He wanted to scare us all away from
ever asking for a raise. That's what that was all about.

When we come back, my final thoughts, a recap of
today's show and the talk back of the Morning Neo.

Speaker 11 (29:25):
As we wind up another minty in the morning on wo.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
R, let's get some final thoughts from Larry. There was
a popular television series called Chicago Hope. It dealt with
life and death at a Chicago hospital. Over this past weekend,
Chicago hospitals were flooded with shooting victims. Life and death
was being determined at emergency rooms and on operating tables.

(29:51):
Fifty eight shooting victims. Eight didn't survive. The onslaught of
crime in Chicago. Their only hope right now now is
Donald Trump. Their Democratic leaders have abandoned them. The Mayor
Brandon Johnson has not only ignored crime, but crippled the
city financially by spending billions on housing and care for illegals,

(30:14):
and allowing infrastructure and the schools to suffer. Mayor Johnson
is a fool. He's never going to be re elected.
He never should have been elected in the first place.
But Governor Printzer, he's a serious man and he wants
to be president. This isn't a good way to start.
Perhaps he should listen to Mayor Muriel Browser from Washington,

(30:38):
who put out a statement raving about how crime dropped
in Washington, d c. After Donald Trump sent federal resources,
including the National Guard. She said, this is what happens
when two parties work together with shared priorities. Wow, a
Democrat acknowledges that working with, not against Donald Trump to

(31:01):
fight crime saved lives sounds like common sense, doesn't it
to use any resources to save lives to make your
community safer at a time of crisis. Donald Trump has
said he wants the governor to call him. So, Governor Pritzer,
that phone on your desk, That's Chicago's hope. Coming up next,

(31:23):
Mark Simone welcomes New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin and
best selling author and coulter and now a recap of
today's show. Health and medical expert at the Mayo Clinic
shared the new guidelines for protecting yourself from colorectal cancer.

Speaker 14 (31:40):
The risk has increased by two percent every year, so
in the last twenty five years, the risk of colorectal
cancer and people under the age of fifty five has doubled.
What's new is that the guideline has said you start
screening at age fifty. That has now been moved down
to forty five.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
New York City Council Member Vicki Palladino praises Jim Walden
for dropping out of the mayor's race and thinks it's
time for some others to follow his lead.

Speaker 15 (32:11):
His polling numbers were so incredibly low that he did
absolutely the right thing to do, which was to drop out.
As far as anybody else goes, I think we all
know Cuomo is not going anywhere, Adams is not going anywhere,
and Curtis is having a surge that I don't think
really should be ignored anymore.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
ABC News correspondent Ali Pecker and thinks today could be
the day for some serious movement in the Jeffrey Epstein case.

Speaker 16 (32:41):
Today's going to be a very big day on Capitol
Hill because we will see a number of Jeffrey Epstein's
victims speaking out publicly in the very public press conference,
and so when they begin speaking, it's a little bit
I'm clear right now what that's going to be enough
to force this issue to the House for and really
get things moving in terms of reliefing the document.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
High profile criminal defense attorney Jeffrey Lichtmann believes people should
focus more on the other issues instead of Jeffrey Epstein, who.

Speaker 17 (33:11):
Really cares about this at this point, There's so many
more important things. You've got a communist is about to
take over in New York City. You've got your hottest
and terrorist meeting in Detroit. Is it bad stuff that
Epstein did?

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Of course?

Speaker 17 (33:25):
Was there a cover up? Was there government involvement?

Speaker 1 (33:28):
I have no doubt at this point.

Speaker 14 (33:30):
Who really gives it them?

Speaker 1 (33:32):
And the talk back of the morning and winner of
the mentee in the morning t shirt has a fix
for the crime issues in Chicago.

Speaker 18 (33:41):
Be speaking about Chicago and Illinois is a remedy for
this situation. It's called the vote, and the people voted
for these people, so on some level, maybe we should
just let them have at it because this is the
democracy they've always been growing about. They can vote these
people out. They don't.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
Yeah, they put in Brandon Johnson over Paul Vallas, who
saved the Chicago schools. It was a horrible choice, and
I'm afraid that we might be making a similar choice
here in New York City. We should look at Chicago
right now and say that could happen here if we

(34:22):
make the wrong choice for mayor. There's no way zorin Momdanni,
a socialist should be running New York City. But it
looks like that is going to happen as of right now.

House correspondent John Decker. And remember that we are going
to have that te testimony. Many of the victims of
Jeffrey Epstein are going to be appearing, some of them

(35:06):
for the first time ever, and if you can believe
what was said behind closed doors, it's going to be
the exact same people. Some of them aren't going to
go out on public, but many of them are. It
was chilling to the point where longtime lawmakers were affected
by what they heard. So we will have all of

(35:27):
that tomorrow and you'll be able to hear in case
you're working today. I don't have a chance. We're going
