Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning to you. Thanks a lot for listening to us.
We know you have other choices. Thank you so much
for choosing us and the Big Three Today it is
the story of the day. Mayor Alexer and Mom Donnie says,
when he gets into office, he's going to end He's
going to stop the city sweeps of the homeless in
New York.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
If you are not connecting homeless New Yorkers to the
housing that they so desperately need, then you cannot deem
anything you're doing to be a success.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Great. So now he's going to provide free housing for
the cities homeless. Why didn't he tell us about this
when he was running for office? And the big question
is what else hasn't he told us? A horrible story.
A sixty eight year old man in Jamaica, Queen's just
crossing the street, is hit by a moped and killed

(00:47):
and his daughter is of course devastated, but also angry.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
So when I heard it was edd trauma, I was
mad because I'm like, this person hit my dad, had
him died with one of the best brains anybody could
want to.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
You know, have e bike's mopeds. We have to get
them under control. We have to start making sure they
have a license and most importantly that they have insurance.
By the way, the man that was writing that moped
is in the hospital as well, and he has been

(01:22):
arrested well. The pre trial evidence hearing of Luigi Mangioni
continues today in a Manhattan courtroom. Last week, they played
the nine to one one tape from Altoona, Pennsylvania.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
He's fill in the back of our lobbie by the bathroom.

Speaker 5 (01:42):
We're in a black sweater jacket with.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
A medical mass and a tan kaki color like Beanie.
You have to Beanie pulled down so the only thing
you can see is his eyebrow.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
The police officer who responded to that call and question
mom Donnie is going to be questioned in court today.
A new survey of air travelers ranks Newark Liberty International
Airport as the most stressful airport in the entire country.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
I do not agree with that statement. Coming to Newark
was so easy. I just got hit from Austin. Getting
through the terminal, just follow the signs. Everything is lit up,
makes it so easy.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
We really have any complications.

Speaker 6 (02:25):
Our bags came pretty quick.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Everything was kind of self explanatory.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
A couple of anniversaries to remember. Yesterday was, of course,
Pearl Harbor Day. The day after Pearl Harbor, FDR got
up in front of Congress and made a speech that
echoes through history.

Speaker 6 (02:42):
Yesterday, Decembus seven, nineteen forty one, a date which will
live in infamy.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
And it was in nineteen eighty on this very day
that John Lennon was assassinated.

Speaker 7 (03:04):
The only remember, this is just a football game.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
No matter who wins, Aw loses.

Speaker 7 (03:09):
An unspeakable tragedy confirmed to us by ABC News in
New York City. John Lennon outside of his apartment building
on the West side of New York City, the most famous,
perhaps of all of the Beatles, shot twice in the
back rush the Roosevelt Hospital, dead on arrival.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
That's how the world found out about it. On December eighth,
nineteen eighty on Monday Night Football from Howard Cosell. Now,
let's talk to Erry Hoffman, associate editor of The New
York sum with us every Monday at this time. This
Letitia James story just keeps going and going, But now
it may have finally ended. It looks like she's gonna

(03:54):
after going after Donald Trump on a fake case of
real estate fraud, A real case again of real estate
fraud against her where she has her signature to prove
it is. Now looks like it's not going to be prosecuted.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
Yeah, well, good morning, Larry and Howard. Cosell. Is a
tough act to follow, but I'll do my best. Yeah,
you know, the case against Letsia James, We've been speaking
about this for a long time. Larry is in real trouble.
I mean, you know, life support would be one way
to put it. As you said, a lot of this
doesn't have to do with the merits of the case, right,

(04:32):
A lot of this the case against her has you know,
faltered on technicalities and kind of procedural issues. So we
might never get this case before a jury. Now, if
you remember, the fraud case against Trump also never got
before a jury. In that case, Judge Angern made a

(04:55):
ruling from the bench that Trump was liable. But it
doesn't look like the judges in Virginia are going to
help the administration out here in terms of the prosecution
of Latsia.

Speaker 8 (05:08):
James.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Hey, Airy, I know that you've been to Israel a
couple of times and you cover what's going over there. Closely.
There are a lot of things have happened that we
have been talking about enough on the air. Here there's
pushes for Benjamin Nett and Yahoo to still go through
with charges of bribery. He's fighting that and he's looking
for a pardon. There is also the peace agreement that is,

(05:32):
you know, is wavering, the fact that the Palestinians still
want a Palestinian state. Hamas is supposed to give up
their arms. Why don't you fill us in on the
latest because there's so much going on right now.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
Absolutely, And I fly there tomorrow, Larry, So next week
we'll talk from Israel directly. You know. The two big
things going on now. One is there's only one body
of a deceased hostage left. So the question now is
what is phase two of the agreement look like?

Speaker 9 (06:03):
Right?

Speaker 4 (06:04):
And and will Hamas disarm? Hamas is now saying no,
we won't disarm until there's a Palestinian state. You know,
if if if you think that's coming soon, I have
a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. So you know
that's that's not really on the horizon. So will Israel
have to go back in? You know, how will how
will Hamas be brought to heal is one big question,

(06:25):
and the other is, you know, the internal dynamics around
Prime Minister Nathania Who's trial and that remarkable letter where
he asked the President President Hertzog for a pardon and
it's up to the President whether he he he will
do that. Of course, President Trump has weigh in and
said that he would advise Israel to give a pardon

(06:50):
to bb. Now I'm just seeing news crossing the wires
this very moment, Larry, that predient Prime Minister Natania who
has plans to come to America in the coming weeks
at the end of December, and that he actually will
go down tomorrow Lago. So we're seeing, you know, really
close cooperation between President Trump and Prime Minister Natanyahu. And

(07:12):
I can be sure that the push for a part
in is only going going to get stronger.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah. I heard Benjamin Naniell who talking about it and
he said, Hamas it was their idea for them to
give up arms, that was pushed as a peace offering
during the talks. Is that true and if so, why
the change, right?

Speaker 4 (07:36):
I Mean Hamas was you know, was really worried about survival.
If you remember kind of the Biden plan would have
left Hamas intact, would have had Israel withdraw from all
of Gaza. Trump, by supporting Israel, put the conditions in
place for Hamas really to be brought to the brink. So,
you know, in a foxhole, so to speak, they said, yes,

(07:59):
we'll give up their arms. You know, Now these things
look a little different, and they're they're trying to kind of,
you know, sort of say well, we didn't really need that,
or we won't, we won't, we won't really do that.
But in Israel's position hasn't changed, and that is Hamas
cannot be armed and cannot be governed in any in
any part of Gaza. Remember also, Larry, now Hamas doesn't

(08:21):
have the leverage of the hostages anymore. Right, that was
kind of part of the brilliance of Trump's idea to
get all the hostages basically out at once, is you
take away Hamas's leverage in case there needs to be
future fighting.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Right, So where does this go? Right now? Is the
whole peace deal in jeopardy at this point, because I
don't think Hamas has any cards to play. They have
they have no power, They've been cut off from the
rest of the world, even the Arab world, right.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
No, exactly, you know, so I think what you'll see
is right now, kind of Gaza is divided into two.
It's almost like Germany during the Soviet rule, where you
have kind of East Gaza and West Gaza. And I
think the area under Israeli control will be reconstructed, you know,
sooner you have investment. The area is still under Hamas control.

(09:07):
I think you're absolutely right, will be further isolated. The question, though,
is you know who is willing to disarm them? And
I got to tell you, I don't think an international
force is willing to do it. I don't think the
UN is willing to do it. I think Israel is
the only one who is willing to put boots on
the ground to do that.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
I think more than willing to do that, I think
Benjamin Natyahu would love to be able to do that.
He's been held back more than he's been allowed to
go in. Riy Hoffman, associate editor of The New York Sun,
with us every day at this time, and of course
we'll be talking to him again at this very same
time from Israel. Thanks so much for joining us as always,

(09:49):
Ery Hoffman, Well, I'll tell you what, Bundle up. A
bitter blast is headed our way. And it's not just
the cold that could hit hard. With the longest night
of the year just weeks away, experts warned that this
deep freeze might also bring seasonal depression. We'll talk about
all of that next. Hi, welcome back. Now let's get

(10:12):
to some more of your talkbacks.

Speaker 10 (10:14):
I will always remember the date John Lennon was murdered
because December eighth, nineteen eighty is also when I saw
Bruce Springsteen in.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Concert for the very first time. Wow.

Speaker 10 (10:28):
I was seventeen years old and it was the River Tour,
and it was at a place you should be familiar with,
Larry the Spectrum in Philadelphia.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Oh, I know. The Spectrum became the Comcast Center, became
the Wells Fargo Center. It was torn down and build
up again. I know some people that saw him at
the Tower Theater when he used to do the CrowdSurf.
So yeah, what a great memory. So that today was
an important anniversary. Yesterday was an important edverse.

Speaker 11 (11:00):
Thank you very much for bringing up about Pearl Hall
of the Day of Remembrance. No, it was yesterday, but
I didn't hear much about it. Thanks again. I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Well absolutely, and the speech the next day was just
equally important because it's one of the most important speeches
of all time. God us involved in World War two.

Speaker 5 (11:21):
Iron MENTI, you and everybody else in New York needs
to get back in touch with reality. Zoramndani will absolutely
get done what he wants to get done because he
controls the largest voting block.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
In the state.

Speaker 5 (11:35):
He will terrorize all of the other politicians with that
voting block, and he has the overwhelming majority of his
city council behind him one hundred percent supporting him in
those efforts. He will get it done.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Be careful, Yeah, I get it. You're right about city council.
Anything that has to be done in the city, with
only city approval, he can get done. I'm not sure
about the power of that voting block. I mean, Kathy
Hochel came out and was against this policy. She has
to be careful and she understands that. That's why she's

(12:10):
not going to raise taxes right now, because she has
to win reelection and if she just has that voting block,
she's not going to win. There's a bigger voting block
upstate that is moderate or conservative. If you add the
two of them together, it trumps what you have in
New York City. I think New York City sometimes gives

(12:32):
itself too much power when it comes to the rest
of the state. Yes, a lot of money goes to
the state. That's powerful. But as far as voters, it
is a powerful voting block. I'm not going to argue
that not as powerful as people think.

Speaker 8 (12:46):
Though.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
I wish Natalie would ask me, I wish I was
the man on the street this morning, because my solution
would be give them notices two three times two three
weeks in advance and ask to that down the street
with a bulldozer and a sweeper and let the chips
forward a may.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
I wish it was that easy. That would be a blast.
That'd be great, something that Donald Trump would do right,
But there's not a lot of politicians like him. I'm
sure you've heard this story by now, but it's worth retelling,
and it's just really an amazing story. And it shows
you that Hofstra University and there Zucker School of Medicine

(13:27):
is pretty far advanced because they realized a long time
ago that ultrasound was going to be huge. When it
came to medicine, and they have it as a requirement
at their medical school for people to learn ultrasound, and
so there was there's people can volunteer and you know,
usually it goes and because they're young kids, there's nothing. Ever,

(13:49):
well that wasn't the case with one person who went
there and found out that there was something on her kidney.

Speaker 12 (14:00):
It was kind of shocking at first. I'm like, there's
no way that you found that, just like, that doesn't
make any sense. I'm not having any symptoms.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
That's Aria Marino and they found a mass on her kidney.

Speaker 12 (14:12):
It feels like a sign to me that I was
meant to be here at this school, in med school,
doing these things.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
This has a happy ending though. She had surgery, and
she won't say exactly what they found. She had surgery,
and it turns out that if she didn't have this surgery,
if they didn't find out at Hofstra that she had
a growth on her kidney, she would have lost her kidney.
So congratulations to Hofstra. What a wonderful program, and it

(14:42):
is amazing that you just saved a person from losing
a kidney. By the way, the Golden Globe Golden Globe
nominations are out here. We'll do some of them real quick.

get to Larry Kowski with the nine thirty News. Larry,

(15:46):
Good Morning, Larry.

Speaker 13 (15:47):
Twenty eight degrees cloudy Skies. Pre trial hearings are resuming
in the case of accused CEO killer Luigi Mangioni, as
his attorneys try to have evidence against their client thrown
out a judge over the weekend. It proved a so
called to do list, which prosecutors say link Mangione to
the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
The MTA is.

Speaker 13 (16:09):
Swapping the F and M subway routes in Queen's as
of today, in the hopes that it will mean fewer
delays and less overcrowding on those lines, as well as
on the R and the E. More than a million
subway riders are affected. An investigation underway into the death
early Sunday of thirty two year old Rikers inmate Aramis Fersey.
The Daily News reports he died at Mount Sinai Queen's

(16:31):
Hospital about an hour after corrections officers noticed him appearing unwell.
It comes after It comes about three weeks after another
Riker's inmate died while in custody. First, he is the
fourteenth inmate to die in New York City jails this year.
Had to say the least, this has not been a
good year for the Louver. First, it was the October

(16:51):
theft some of France's crown jewels. Now, officials of the
famous Paris Museum say flooding due to a burst pipe
has damaged hundreds of works inside one of its Egyptian
antiquities libraries. The pipe break happened at a part of
the museum that is scheduled for renovations next year. Maybe
they shouldn't have waited time for the open.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
I want to tell you that we just did a
story yesterday or maybe it was maybe it was it
was Friday, Friday, probably Friday, And then we talked about
the most mispronounced words, and uh, and I go with
Louve too, and in America, so does everybody in America.
But we were talking to somebody from Paris and they

(17:37):
kept saying louverra, and so I said, what is it
louverra or louver and he said, well, in America you
said love, but it's louverra. And now it made the
list of the most pronounced mispronounced words. It is louverra.
You're gonna change, Larry.

Speaker 13 (17:53):
Okay, I'll I'll go along. I mean, i'd try to
be right.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
You know, no, you can stay we I am staying
with louver I said it Louve my whole life. I
heard every TV anger say Louve. Yeah, until this year
where it's turned to Louverra. We'll do it the American
way exactly. You're all good, Larry Kowsky.

Speaker 5 (18:15):
Don't you worry.

Speaker 13 (18:16):
They can't seem to keep their stuff intact.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
So I mean, yeah, yeah, let's worry about their pipes first.

Speaker 13 (18:25):
Well, it's almost nine point thirty two. Time to take
a look at the opening bell on Wall Street. The
market is off to a positive star traders holding their
breath with an interest rate cut expected from the Fed
later this week. I'm going to go out on a
limb here because the screen in front of me shows
the Dow up sixteen hundred points, or three and a
half percent. I'm going to guess that that's a mistake,

(18:46):
but I can't say for sure. More reasonable gains though
for the S and P five hundred up about two
and a half points in the NASDAC up eighty one.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
I hope that sixteen hundred is right, but I'm going
to meet tell you.

Speaker 13 (19:00):
My four oh one k hope, so that's for sure.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Thanks so much, Larry. Bundle up. A bitter blast is
headed our way. When you go outside, you're gonna feel it.
And it's not just the cold that could hit us hard.
With the longest night of the year just weeks away,
Experts warn this deep freeze might also bring seasonal depression.
We're going to talk about all of that next Well,

(19:22):
we're going through a real cold spell right now, let
me read some of the headlines to you. This is
picks eleven cold week forecast, Arctic air, snow showers expected. Bloomberg,
New York shivers under record breaking cold temperatures. The Gothamist
Dangerous cold sweeps New York City as officials erd precautions.

(19:47):
So let's get right to meteorologists with WR and the
Weather Channel Rays Stagic to find out what's going on
and how long this cold spell's gonna last.

Speaker 14 (19:56):
Ray Larry, Good morning morning.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
How long is it gonna last?

Speaker 7 (20:02):
Uh?

Speaker 14 (20:03):
Not that long. You're a little sensationalization, But hey, it
gets cold in December, doesn't it. No records for New
York City. I don't know if they were talking about
records here.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
I tell you the only reason I read those headlines
because I knew you were going to say that.

Speaker 9 (20:18):
I know me up.

Speaker 14 (20:24):
God, because you knew. You knew I was gonna be like,
you know, a face plant.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
And be like, oh, come on, I know what's wrong
with you. Sissy's out there erectly.

Speaker 14 (20:36):
We've been here before. We've been here before.

Speaker 9 (20:39):
Trust me.

Speaker 14 (20:40):
Now, is it a little bit early? At least relative too?
I'm just gonna say from my memory the last couple
of December's. Yes, today we're probably gonna stay we're around thirty,
but we're gonna be back in the forties by Wednesday.
So it's a little cold shot that comes in tomorrow
morning in the teens. I mean really, as you get
away from the cities where the real cold weather will be,
it's going to be and the teens, maybe some single

(21:01):
digits as you go north up near Albany in the
Hudson Valley, especially any Atirondacks, where last week is actually
teens below zero. So that's how different the temperatures can
be a factor in a little win yet cold, but
you know, prep accordingly, you're gonna have to bundle up,
as they like to say, and we'll get this little
cold shot with maybe some flurries or snow showers. It

(21:21):
really looks like Wednesday's event around the city will be
mainly rained as this clipper comes through, but some wet
snow to maybe just snow west and north, and then
we'll stay chilly for the rest of the week. And
it does look like even as we get into the
fallow we could stays below normal. But I don't see,
at least right now anything in terms of records being broken.

(21:42):
I'm gonna stall you first second because I'm just gonna
prove it to you, because.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
You can't prove it to me.

Speaker 9 (21:49):
Cold.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yeah, no, no, no, you're cold, but he says it's
gonna be chili. Cold is different. Let me read you
another headline here, CBS News day is cold in and
around New York City today. Are you going to ass
CBS News of Hilly Bunch of.

Speaker 14 (22:07):
Doing another face plant? Well, okay, so the average is
forty five, I mean cold, but I mean thirty is cold.
All right, this is midwinter cold. But I want somebody
to take a guess. This is Central Park. Now, the
records go back to the eighteen eighties. The record low
for this morning, let's say this morning's lower, tomorrow morning's
low is twenty degrees. What's the record? What do you

(22:28):
think the record low is for Central Park on this date?

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Minus five? I'm gonna go with twelve.

Speaker 14 (22:35):
It's ten. It's ten back in eighteen eighty two. So yeah,
it's cold. I always put it in a historical perspective
that it's not record cold, and it's not even close.
I mean, if we're twenty tomorrow morning, we're ten degrees
away from a record. We're not even close.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
And great Grandpa Stagic back then was going.

Speaker 14 (22:56):
Well, well, Natalie, I wasn't gonna say it, but I
was to be like some of us were around here
week with Nudge Doug Warry.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
That was a long time ago. I was gonna say,
because the Grandpa goes. But in eighteen twenty it was
really cold. I know, I know, and Ray, we're still
told him, Ah, there's something wrong with you.

Speaker 5 (23:16):
Let us complain because people complain in the winter and
it just makes us feel better.

Speaker 14 (23:22):
Yes, news thirty with the wind tomorrow to be in
the teens. Yes, I mean it's not like you're going
out there in your Bermuda shorts. But again, not records.
We should recover, but we will stay below normal the
normal high low split this time of year forty six
for the high. Thirty six is the average low temperature
for this time of year. I think over the next

(23:42):
week we're at or below those numbers for the daytime
highs and probably the lowes two on most of the
next seven to ten days.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
All right, Ray, we all bow to you. We don't
have that cold superpower that you have, where this none
of this affects you. Thanks so much for checking in.
We'll get back to you when it gets to be
like minus ten, maybe be able to say that's a
little chilly. Race stagic woor Weather Channel meteorologis thinks so much. Ray,
good talking to you. All right. Now, let's get to

(24:09):
Jim Ryan. Now he's gonna think this is cold. Yes,
Jim Ryan, ABC News correspondent in Dallas is talking about
the cold weather a day today and how it can
affect us more than just making us chili.

Speaker 5 (24:21):
And you'll feel sympathetic.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Absolutely, it's cold up here, isn't it, Jim. I'm we
had meteorologist Race stagic one saying, oh, it's not that cold.

Speaker 15 (24:29):
Well, we're about freezing down here right now in North
Texas and it'll get to maybe fifty one degrees today.
It's not just the cold, though, it's the darkness that
comes with winter that can affect people. The seasonal effective
disorder that psychiatrists talk about. American Psychiatric Association says about
thirty eight percent of Americans feel that they feel down
because of the weather in the wintertime. Right they feel

(24:51):
the blaws if they lose their appetite or they gain
some appetite, they can't sleep, or they sleep too much,
or they're just not as interested in things as they
were before. So, I mean, those are some of the
tell tales that have to do with this seasonal effective disorder,
this kind of wintertime blues.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
Yeah, so the wintertime blues are a real thing. I
mean yeah, and so the Psychiatric Association acknowledges this as
being something that can get so severe you might have
to deal with it.

Speaker 15 (25:19):
Right, Yeah, Generally most of us do shake it off.
Now that forty eight percent or so who feel is
I mean, that's the majority. It's just that they kind
of shake it off and they move on, they wait
till springtime to feel better. But for some folks, I mean,
it does become more serious and they need to be
checked out. They see their family physician, maybe get referred
to as specialist in this kind of thing. But yeah,

(25:42):
those telltale signs, the appetite, that changes in behavior, changes
in sleep patterns. There can all be signs that this
is more than just the summertime or rather wintertime.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Blues and more of it. Most of us, right, just
catch up to it. I mean, when there is a
change like that, we might feel something when it first happens,
but then we assimilate to it. It's just that some
people it takes longer to do.

Speaker 9 (26:04):
That.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Is that right?

Speaker 15 (26:05):
It does right, and there are ways to get around
it as well. I mean taking extra vitamin D supplements
because you're not getting as much sunshine. And then obviously
most of the vitamin D we get is from sunshine,
so those shorter daylight days, it may worth maybe worth
attacking on a little supplement there. Using a bright light
in the morning to simulate sunlight to fool your body

(26:28):
into thinking the sun is up even if it isn't. Now,
this isn't just a light bulb, but there are specific lights.
The ten thousand lucks is the standard here.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
That's darker.

Speaker 15 (26:38):
It's rather brighter than a cloudy day, but not quite
as bright as midday sun and that can sort of
fool your body into thinking there's more sunlight during the
day than there really is.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
A couple of ways to deal with it. Yeah, Jim Ryan,
ABC News correspond it in Dallas, thank you so much.
When we come back, my final thoughts, a recap of
today's show and the talk back of the morning. Let's
get some fun thoughts from Larry Zurn Mamdani, the Marrilect
drops a bombshell. He's going to end the sweeps of
the homeless encampments, meaning the city will be subject to

(27:11):
what democratic cities across the country are dealing with right now.
Large groups of homeless people gathering together using the streets
now of New York, claiming it as theirs. Many are addicted,
many have severe mental illness, many have long criminal records,
and many, when allowed to live on the streets, like

(27:33):
Mamdani wants to do, use those streets as their personal bathrooms.
As far left socialist policies often do, they want to
coddle small groups of us that they claim are being
discriminated against, to the detriment of the majority who are
just trying to live their lives, raise their families, go

(27:54):
to work every day again, just live their lives. That
social life sentiment gave us bail reform and sanctuary cities,
and this policy of allowing the homeless to be homeless
anywhere they want has ruined many democratic leftist cities like
Los Angeles and San Francisco. But we were saved from

(28:16):
the homeless encampment plague by Mayor Adams, who had the
city performed the sweeps, good for us, good for the homeless.
Thank you, Mayor Adams. Now the smiling socialists, full of
fantasy and no money to pay for anything, says no
more sweeps and promises permanent housing for the homeless. And

(28:38):
how does he pay for it? Nobody knows. Governor Hockel
has already said the state isn't ponying up for that.
Most importantly, he never told us about this when he
was running to be mayor, which leads us to a
very important question, what else is he keeping from us?
Coming up next, Mark Simone welcomes Fox News contributor Liz

(29:01):
Peak and New York Post journalist Miranda Devine, and now
a recap of today's show. Legendary sportscaster Warner Wolf calls
on the Jets owner to finally put the fans out
of their misery.

Speaker 4 (29:15):
News flash, the three and ten Jets eliminate it from
the playoffs.

Speaker 9 (29:20):
Fifteenth year.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Oh darn it, boh, what do you do?

Speaker 14 (29:24):
The fans of favor and sell the team.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Deputy Mayor of New York City Randy Mastro says, no
one wins a zorin Mom Donnie halts homeless encampment sweeps.

Speaker 8 (29:36):
It's not humane to leave the homeless out on the streets.
People who can't help themselves need our help. It's bad
for their quality of life. It's bad for New Yorker's
quality of life to leave homeless encampments out on the street.
Hopefully some common sense will ultimately prevail, but this is
just bad policy all the way around.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
Newth Jersey dot Com columnist Mike Kelly warns the nation
is overlooking the rising nine to eleven death toll.

Speaker 9 (30:03):
Roughly three thousand people were killed on nine to eleven,
but since then we've had five thousand died and there
are now thirty six thousand people dealing with cancer as
a result of this. So we're looking at a whole
generation of debts here that the rest of our nation,
I don't think is really accepting or even willing to

(30:23):
look at.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Associate editor of The New York Sun Ry Hoffman thinks
we are still far away from a complete end of
the conflict between Israel and Palestine.

Speaker 4 (30:33):
There are two big things going on now. One is
there's only one body of a deceased hostage left. So
the question now is what is phase two of the
agreement look like? And will Hamas disarm. Hamas is now
saying no, we won't disarm until there's a Palestinian state.
If you think that's coming soon. I have a bridge
in Brooklyn.

Speaker 1 (30:54):

w are the MENTI in the Morning. Two Shirt wants
to make sure we all remember an important day in
