Hour 4: The history of June 17th

 The history of June 17th.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back, thanks for being here this morning. Israel and
Iran keep trading missile launches, with Israel taking out state
run media. Did you see the video of this? It
is absolutely incredible. There is an anchor doing the news
and by the way, it's really dark, but all of

(00:24):
a sudden there is a bomb.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Strike a fast.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
That was the bomb taking out the state run media
television network in Iran. Early voting continues in the New
York mayoral primary, and the New York Times surprisingly refused
to endorse any Democratic candidate anybody in the Democratic primary,
but said one of the candidates, and this was a
huge surprise, one of the candidates is unfit to serve.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
These are the opinions of about a dozen New Yorkers,
and a democracy will be decided by close to a
million New Yorkers. They certainly have the right to their opinions,
and New Yorkers have the right to their votes.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
That was a zorin mom Dani. The candidate who is
just crazy far left, and so I thought the New
York Times would love him, but he is too crazy
even for the New York Times, who refused to endorse
him and said that he is the one candidate that
they can't even consider new details today about the Minnesota assassin.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
It is no exaggeration to say that his crimes are
the stuff of nightmares. Delter stocked his victims like prey.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
More details coming out every day about Vance Bolter and
the fact that he had a long hit list of
politicians that he wanted to take out. At the G
seven conference, Trump finalizes the tariff deal with the United
Kingdom and Prime Minister, very good day for Potlark country
is a real side strength.

Speaker 5 (02:04):
So thank you again, Donald, A really important day for
both of us.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Great people, great people. And the prosecution may rest today
or tomorrow in the Sean Diddy Coombs trial. And now
the question is is Comb's going to take the stand
in his own defense.

Speaker 6 (02:19):
As a defense attorney, I prep all of my clients
to testify. I run them through the gamut. But I
could not tell him to get near that witness stand
with a ten foot poll Today.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
You may not know, because I don't think most people know.
Today is an anniversary of one of the most important
moments in American history. It was June seventeenth, seventeen seventy
five that the Battle of Bunker Hill took place. It
still stands as a seminole moment in the construction of

(02:51):
our country, in the birth of our nation. But there
were some unsung heroes that day that will now be
part of an off Broadway play. The whole scene that
the Battle of Bunker Hill, and some of the people
who did not get enough recognition that day will also
be honored. Professor Robert Blecker is the playwright of a

(03:13):
new play called Father Anonymous. Professor, thanks so much for
joining us today. I appreciate that.

Speaker 7 (03:20):
Thanks so much for having me. Larry.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, let's talk about Father Anonymous. First, let's talk about
the significance of the Battle of Bunker Hill.

Speaker 7 (03:29):
It was the first major battle of the American Revolution.
We all know about Lexington and conquered on April eighteenth
and nineteenth, seventeen seventy five, and Paul Revere's famous ride
by the way, very few of us know who actually
sent Paul Revere on that ride, and that was doctor
Joseph Warren. He sent Paul and then he stayed back
and he ran the American Revolution for the first two months,

(03:52):
ran the war, and on June seventeenth, seventeen seventy five,
Joseph awoke, fagued by the Migraine headaches that plagued him,
and the cannonade had begun he could hear it, and
over the protests of those closest to him, he rushed
to Bunker Hill and to engage in the fight, And
although he had been commissioned a major general, he refused

(04:16):
command when he got there and insisted on fighting as
a volunteer, and over the entreaties of Colonel Prescott, who
said famously don't fire till you see the white of
their eyes, most often misquoted as the whites of their eyes,
he refused to return to Cambridge to run the war,
and instead went into the hottest spot, this fort that
had been constructed by the way in the wrong spot

(04:38):
on Breed Hill, rather than Bunker Hill, and his men,
who thought they were being sacrificed because they were almost
out of ammunition the British were about to storm for
the third time, saw their beloved leader join them and
so assumed that therefore they were not being sacrificed. And
the British did storm, they did run out of ammunition.
The Patriots they fled. Joseph was last to leave, treating

(04:59):
the war in the dying, turning back into the doctor
that he ultimately was, and took a bullet in his
head and died at thirty four, the great first martyr
of the American Revolution.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Why don't we know more about him?

Speaker 7 (05:14):
We don't in one sense because we're lucky. In another
sense because he was unlucky. We don't know more about
him because he didn't survive the war, having died in
the first major battle at Bunker Hill, And so he
didn't play the part that he was supposed to play.
Samuel Adams had chosen him to lead America and play
the role that George Washington ends up playing. America got

(05:35):
really lucky. We had two great leaders at the same time,
excuse me, and the one dies ironically the very same
day June seventeenth, seventeen seventy five, two hundred and fifty
years ago today. Joseph dies on Bunker Hill at the
same day that George Washington in Philadelphia is being handed

(05:55):
his commission as Commander in Chief. And he went on,
as we know, to be the great iconic leader of America.
And so Joseph didn't play the part that he had
been designated to play because he had sacrificed himself early
on in the American Revolution, but there was no conciliation
after that because Joseph had fallen. And if Joseph had
martyred himself and supplied the leadership that he did, then

(06:18):
we weren't going to conciliate. We were gonna we were
going to keep going and win this fight for American liberty.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
But the story is so fascinating, and being one of
the first great martyrs for the American Experiment and the
American Revolution, you would think that we would know his name,
just like we know Sam Adams, just like we know others,
just like we know we know Benedict Arnold, But we
don't know doctor Joseph Warren. And it's so wonderful that

(06:47):
you're remembering him, and it's so wonderful that you wrote
a play. Tell me what your inspiration was, why you
took this so far that you wanted to write a
play about this.

Speaker 7 (06:58):
Well, I was a Constitutional hit Street professor for over
forty years, and in that context I studied some of
the major documents of the American Republic and the American experience.
In one of them, which has also become lost to
American memory. For most people was the Suffolk Resolves. Joseph
wrote those in seventeen seventy four, and Paul Revere rushed

(07:19):
them down from Boston to Philadelphia. You know, we all
know Paul Revere's famous ride, but his more important ride
was actually earlier, and he rushed the Suffolk Resolves. And
it was, in essence a declaration of American legislative independence.
And the First Continental Congress embraced them and enacted them.
It was the first enactment by the Continental Congress. And

(07:39):
as a result, America was on record of no obedience
to acts of parliament that violated our fundamental rights. Obedience
to the king only conditioned upon the respect for the
American traditions that we inherited from Britain. And you know
you asked the question about being lost to history. At
the time Joseph was so well known and so widely mourned.

(08:02):
There were fourteen counties named after Joseph Warren in the
United States. Only three presidents have more Warren County, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
New Jersey, et cetera, et cetera. And yet he has
fallen into obscurity, as you point out, ironically, so did
Paul Revere. He had been lost to American consciousness until
Longfellow's famous poem. And when I started writing the play,

(08:22):
so had Samuel Adams. But then the beer came about,
and now he's on the lips of many people in
many bars in America. So we have a habit of
losing sight of our heroes. And the play, it seems
to me, is important because it takes these cardboard characters
that we learned in American history, and we learned to
dismiss in some ways America, at least, I was taught

(08:44):
to dismiss our heroes, not to learn from them, not
to emulate them and follow from their examples, not to
realize and recognize the sacrifices they made and the obligations
they felt for the sacrifice sacrifices that have been made
in the past, and the obligation they felt to future generations.
And so driven by that, driven by love of America,

(09:06):
driven by the rediscovery of Joseph Warren, and the celt
need to celebrate our heroes and learn from them and
emulate them, I worked on this play and wrote it,
and if it succeeds for the audience, it brings them
to an emotional relationship with the American Revolution. You'll see
these cardboard characters come to life on stage and realize

(09:27):
that the war was a product of emotional relationships and
deep constitutional commitments, and it's time to celebrate America. You know,
the cast comes from different political persuasions and disagreements with
that policy, But what unites us and what hopefully will
restore the common feeling about America is how much we
really have in common constitutionally, how much we're deeply committed

(09:50):
to the basic principles of this Republican Well, I love.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
That you're doing this, and I love that you're remembering
a man that history for God and should be remembered.
Tell people how they can tickets and where they can
see the play.

Speaker 7 (10:02):
It's at the AMT Theater, which is a charming off
Broadway theater literally right off Broadway on forty fifth Street
between eighth and ninth Avenue. Go to the website, which
is fatheranonymous play dot com put in two hundred and
fifty and you get discount for the tickets. The tickets
are not expensive, and the experience is live and lively

(10:24):
and real and funny and cheerful and celebrate America, celebrate
the best of our traditions in our history.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
I love that you wrote this. I do want to
go see it. Professor Robert Blecker, playwright of Father Anonymous.
Thank you so much. I could talk to you all day,
but that's all the time we have. And I appreciate
you spending time with us.

Speaker 7 (10:45):
Thank you, Larry. I appreciate your having and remembering j
justph of this day.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Thanks again. Gray's Anatomy star Eric Dane opens up living
with als, losing mobility and holding on to hope. What
he says about his future is going to move you.
He's next, as always, appreciate your talkbacks. Go to seven
to ten War and the iHeartRadio app and then you're
on the air, and let's start with talking about intelligent

(11:10):
life forms on Earth.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Hey, Larry, in response to Joe Bartlett's discussion about UFOs,
and he said something to the effect of, you know,
human beings aren't likely, aren't you know, the only intelligent
life form? And there's got to be something out there
better than us or smarter than us. I am in
total agreement. God helped the universe if we are the

(11:32):
top of evolution, because then the universe would really be
in trouble.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
I agreed, Larry Mente.

Speaker 8 (11:40):
People here in Union City, New Jersey are not too
happy with Menendez since he's from here and now his
son has his old congressional district. The Sun Junior has
already shown his stripes, partaking in the disruption at the
Ice Center in Newark a few weeks weeks ago. So

(12:01):
if you pardon the father, does the son follow the
same steps?

Speaker 6 (12:06):
That's the question.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, we will see. I wouldn't blame the father the
son for the sins of the father. Be careful of
doing that. Let's let's give let's give Bob Menendez Junior
a chance before we start condemning him just because his
father is now in prison. We have just this is
the saddest story, and I'm almost sorry we want to

(12:29):
end the show with this, but are come close to
ending the show with this. But it's Eric Dane, who
you know as doctor Mark Sloan on Grey's Anatomy, has
just found out that he has als. It took nine
months of going to the doctor to ask what is
going on after he started losing feeling in his right

(12:49):
hand and then he started losing filling feeling in his arm.
And then his right hand, and so he got the
diagnosis finally that he had ALS. I'm angry because you know,
my father was taken from me when I was young,
and now you know, there's a very good chance I'm
going to be taken from my girls while they're very young.

(13:10):
It was an interview he did with Diane Sawyer. I
don't know if you know anybody in your life that
had ALS. My mother in law had it. It is
just it is the saddest thing. There's no getting around
how awful this is. The life just slowly seeps out
of you.

Speaker 5 (13:28):
I mean, I'm really at the end of the day,
just all I want to do is spend time with
my family and.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
Work a little bit if I can.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
It's you never know how long someone is going to
live with ALS. You really do. Never know. Slowly things
just start going on your body. And but my like,
for instance, the only experience I have was my mother
in law and she lived for years with ALS being treated.
So Eric Dane is now fifty two years old. I

(14:02):
don't know the age of his children off the top
of my head, but he will have many many years
will he be able to enjoy his life. I don't know,
you know, do you want to know? Do you want
to know how much longer you have in life? Do
you want to know that so you can get things
done or get things accomplished, or take off from work
so you can spend more time with your family.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
I don't know if I want to know, But hearing
a story like this makes you think that you should
live every day like it might be your last, because
you never do know, and we are all, you know,
in the rat race of life, and we never think
about Okay, you know, how about I don't have them

(14:43):
any good days left?

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Right?

Speaker 2 (14:45):
That's why am I wasting it on worrying about things?

Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yep, that's a wonderful way to look at it. Now,
let's get the Jacquelin Karl with the nine to thirty news,
Jacqueline Good Morning.

Speaker 9 (14:55):
The suspect accused of killing a Minnesota state lawmaker and
her husband over the weekend is now facing federal charges
that means Vance Bolter could face the death penalty if convicted.
He's also charged with shooting and wounding a Democratic state
senator and his wife. Formon. Senator Bernie Sanders is endorsing
fellow Democrat Zorahenmandami in the race for New York City mayor.

Speaker 10 (15:17):
In making the endorsement announcement, Sanders released a statement saying,
we need a new politics, a new leadership which is
prepared to stand up to powerful corporate interests and fight
for the working class. Mom Donnie has been pulling second
to former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the crowded Democratic primary race.
He's now got the endorsement from Sanders, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortes,

(15:38):
and Controller Brad Lander.

Speaker 4 (15:39):
I'm staff Pringle wr News.

Speaker 9 (15:42):
So are you ready for a really sweet story? Let's
have a sweet story, please, okay. According to People, high
school principal Jason Mutterer either wanted every member of the
class of twenty twenty five to feel important or he
just has a ton of free time on his hands.
The Mansfield Smith Summitt High School principal wrote a personalized
note to each of his four hundred and forty three graduates,

(16:05):
each with a one dollar bill included. Mutterer called it
a random act of kindness. He's now explained it by saying,
they're my kids, they're my students. It's personal.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
How sweet is that?

Speaker 1 (16:16):
That's amazingly sweet.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
It is that did your kids ever have a teacher
or a principle like that, because mine did? Really no,
And I'm going to give him a shout out because
he's still around here. Steve Pracon, Stephen perccone. He was
a science teacher at Riverdale Public School and he was
there for like forty years. And my daughter just graduated

(16:38):
her master's program. She got a letter in the mail
from him congratulating her. And he doesn't And because he's
on Facebook and he follows all the families of the
students that he had, and whenever he sees an accomplishment
or you know, a life moment, he'll drop them a note.
And he sends out letters, like handwritten notes. That's amazing,
that's wonderful, and it's the nicest thing ever.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
I'll tell you what a great teacher can change your life. Yeah,
change the entire direction of your life. Just somebody that
believes in you. Like that. What a wonderful story. Thanks
for sharing it. We have the stocks, yes we do.

Speaker 9 (17:11):
We're heading over to Wall Street at the opening bell,
and the Dow is down two hundred and twenty six points.
The S and P is down twenty seven points, and
then Nasdaq is down one.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
Hundred and nine points.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Thank you, jack Lin. Carl Glamour, Tragedy and Big Revelations.
New York Post Johnny Olaczinski has a tri beca for
Mariska Hargatea's doc on her bombshell mom Jane Mansfield, and
he says, get this. He likes this. It's a must see.
It's like the Old Life commercial. He likes it. He
really likes it, he joins us. Next, now let's go

(17:43):
to Johnny Olaczinski, New York Post entertainment critic, who was
at the Tribeca Film Festival and actually likes something.

Speaker 4 (17:51):
Yeah. So, and it wasn't only at the Tribeca Film Festival,
it was at Carnegie Hall. I'd never been to a
movie at Carnegie Hall, and you'd be surprised. It works very,
very well as a movie. Then you so this movie
what I love a celebrity. If a celebrity is going
to do a project about themselves, call it a vanity project.
I want them to really go there and shock me

(18:13):
and dig deep. And this celebrity is a riska Hargatee
Olivia Benson from Law and Order SVU, and I didn't
really care to know anything about her, but she made
a movie about her mom. Jane Mansfield, the kind of
Marilyn Monroe want to be actress who very tragically died
at thirty four in a car accident, and Risco was

(18:33):
in the car with her siblings. All the adults in
the car died, but the siblings lived, and it actually
has a lot of shocking, shocking revelations. Mariska Hargate's dad
was Mickey Hargita, the Mister Universe winner who's passed away.
Turns out not her dad. Mariska Hargita has a different father.

(18:55):
She learned about him thirty years ago, a Brazilian Italian entertainer,
Nelson Sardelli, that when Mickey and Jane were kind of
splits for a little bit, they had an affair Nelson
and Jane and Olivia rather around Olivia. Mrisk didn't find
out about this until she was about twenty five, and

(19:15):
she's kept this secret until this movie.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
So nobody knew that. Nobody knew thirty years ago. You
were saying, she found that.

Speaker 4 (19:21):
She found out about thirty years ago, and she's sixty
and she's done everything she can, mostly out of respect
for the guy that raised her, Mickey Hargetez, She didn't.
They spoke about it one time and then they never
spoke about it again. She kept a private Nelson kept
it private. She's had a relationship with his daughters, and
now she's coming clean. For lack of a better word,

(19:42):
it really I never have seen a celebrity quite admit
to something like that in a movie. It's a very emotional,
exciting thing. And even though I've told you what happens,
I highly recommend watching it. It's coming to HBO. Max
on June twenty seventh, you.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Said they was full of surprises. Do you not want
to give away anymore? Because that's the biggest one. That's
that's enormous. But what else does she disclose in there
that we didn't know?

Speaker 4 (20:07):
Well, this was another one that got me. So I
mentioned that that tragic car accident, and we've always known that,
But what she'd never said before is she was forgotten
as a three year old little girl. She was forgotten
at the scene of the crime because all the adults
that knew the other kids in the car were dead,
and the ambulance and police officers they didn't see her.

(20:28):
Their wreckage were so mangled, and her body was so
little that she was shoved under the passenger seat and
had a head injury, so she was unconscious. And then
her brother wakes up while they're driving away, her six
year old brother, and he goes, where's Mariska And they
had to go back, So that there is an absolute
chance that risk Hargitet could have just died by being

(20:49):
left alone in that car.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Well, her life is like a movie script. I mean
that's with all the twist and turns in. It is amazing.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
It absolutely is, and it you know, it made me
think about that phrase nepo baby. I've never liked the
phrase nepo baby because I think it leaves out the
nuances of people's lives. Yes, she is the daughter of
a very famous Hollywood star, but that doesn't make losing
your mother at three years old and you know, having

(21:17):
to kind of climb your way back up any less
hard or tragic. It's not like her, the you know,
the road to success was paid for her. It absolutely wasn't.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Oh, it sounds wonderful. Give give the dates to when
people can see it one more time.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
So the movie is called My Mom Jane, and it's
going to be on max So streaming, the streaming service
on June twenty seventh, and you should watch it. It
is exciting and emotional and I highly recommend it, which
isn't always a sentence.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
I say, no, I know, let's go to something you hate.
How about the play call me Izzy?

Speaker 4 (21:47):
Oh this was a bummer too, because I really like
Jean Smart. Jean Smart who's had such a cool career
resurgence on Hacks. She's so funny on hacks, so likable
on Hacks, and she is kind of likable on Broadway
kind of. And what is a dismal cliche gloomy, gloomy
play about a Louisiana woman. It's fictional, a Louisiana woman

(22:10):
who lives in a trailer park and hiding from her
abusive husband. She writes poetry in the bathroom on toilet
paper and then steals it away in a tampax box.
And I gotta tell you, while you know these are
these are serious issues. This is a this is a
bottom of the barrel. You know, someone told me it's

(22:31):
like a lifetime movie. Answer, why do we have to
insult lifetime movies like this by comparison Lifetime movies are
often very very well written and compelling, and they, oh, oh,
how bored I was. I was so bored. I didn't
want to groan out loud because that would be rude,
so I tried to keep my grown. They were internal groans,
but my oh, my eyes kept rolling. Health has let

(22:54):
it out right, because everyone loves on Broadway when people
start making a loud random noises our favorite.

Speaker 5 (23:00):
Thing, especially groans, loud random noises like laughter. That's great,
that's right. But you know, I think I have a
license to groan. James Bond has a license to kill.
Johnny has a license to groan.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
So you stayed for the whole thing? Did anybody leave?

Speaker 4 (23:14):
Of course I stayed for the whole thing. I want
to put that out there. I never I've never left
a show that I'm writing about because what if it
gets better? It very rarely does, but one day, one
day it might, and I need to be there for
that day.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
He's an optimist, so you're required by law to be
there for the entire thing. Did anyone else leave?

Speaker 4 (23:35):
There were a couple walk outs?

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Sure, really it's hard.

Speaker 4 (23:38):
It's a very quiet show and there is no intermission,
So if you're gonna go you're gonna you're the sort
of person that wants to make a scene about leaving.
There was one woman who just stomped out because at
Studio fifty four of the aisles or wood, they don't
even have the carpet to muffle your you know, your dissatisfaction,
so off she goes.

Speaker 7 (24:00):
Fun.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
When you don't like a movie, sure it's much more fun.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
No, because it's more fun after the fact, but during it,
it's really great. If two two and a half hours
of my time were spent enjoying something. Life is very short.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
But I would imagine, yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
That's exactly.

Speaker 4 (24:18):
Just have to enjoy your job.

Speaker 10 (24:19):
No.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
But also I'm sure he gets more readership from negative
reviews than possive truth.

Speaker 4 (24:26):
Not always, No, it's you. You get readership from things
people want to read about, and sometimes people want to read.
When I reviewed Top Gun Maverick, I love Top Gun Maverick,
and that did really well because readers were just very
interested in the movie Top Gun Maverick. They wanted to
like it.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Let me change the premise, you have more fun writing
about a bad review.

Speaker 4 (24:46):
I love to write. I am a paid writer, and
I write fun sentences about films and Broadway.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
They're more fun. I've heard other people talk about this.
Denis Cunningham always talked about a bad review is a
lot more fun than a good review.

Speaker 4 (25:05):
It is. They're the ones I read after the fact.
It's like, it's like if you go to Sarities, you
know on the wall there's the post they don't keep
the hit posters. They have the flops. There's the wall
of flops. And so some of my most cherished reviews
are the mean ones. But yeah, yeah, I like to
I like to sharpen mine eye. Sure, I just love
your job description.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
I write fun sentences.

Speaker 10 (25:27):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
One of my others once told me, they said, the
most we don't care what you think about anything. The
most important thing is that people get to the bottom
of your review, that they read the whole thing. Entertain
them with what you write, be it good or bad.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
You saw the premiere of the Brad Pitt movie.

Speaker 4 (25:42):
I did that was there last night.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
There have been ads about that movie. They must really
really love this movie, I mean for money making.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
And so the review will come out later today, so
I have to be vague, but I highly I liked it.
I liked it. I liked it and It's finally Apple,
which has been pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into
these movies, shlocky, awful movies, made a good one. It
is good and it's from the director of Top Gun Maverick,
so he knows how to make kind of this high

(26:11):
octane Sure, a movie with an aging but still good
looking star in a fast moving vehicle knows how to
do it.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
I want to check your pulse. I want to check id.
These are two good reviews, two things that you like today.
That's great?

Speaker 4 (26:25):
And would you believe there's going to be a third
this week too? Oh wow? Wait, everyone turn off their radio.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Sorry, Sadie Alexiski, New York Post entertainment critic, thanks a lot.
When we come back, my final thoughts, a recap of
today's show and the talk back of the day. Here's
Larry Minty with some final thoughts. So, in reaction to
the Los Angeles riots, the California Legislature is going to
take decisive action. Not against the rioters, no, not against

(26:53):
those here illegally no no no no. Not against the
professional agitators who brought bricks and hammers to the protesters
to use against the police. No.

Speaker 7 (27:03):
No.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
California State Senator Scott Wiener, a Democrat who represents Berkeley
and that should tell you all you know, has introduced
a bill to make it the law that requires all
law enforcement officials to show their faces and be identified
by their uniform. Now the protesters, of course, they can

(27:27):
keep wearing masks that, by the way, were distributed on
the same trucks that delivered bricks and weapons. But that's okay,
that's okay, according to Wiener. But no, no face covering
for undercover cops and the ice agents who hide their
faces to protect their families because their identities and addresses
are routinely put on the internet. No, they have to

(27:50):
show their faces and they have to wear ideas. When
is the Democratic party going to stop being anti cop?
When is the democratic loving media going to stop being
anti cop and pro criminal. Ten police officers were seriously
injured in the LA riots. There were billions lost in looting,

(28:11):
in property damage, But at CNN and MSNBC they're still
being called peaceful protests. In fact, the Media Research Center
reports that between June fourth and June seventh, during the riots,
CNN and MSNBC use the term peaceful protest two hundred
and eleven times. They never learn a trouncing in the election.

(28:36):
Record low approval numbers and record low ratings don't seem
to be enough to force change in the bias media
or the political party that gives them their marching orders.
Our law enforcement deserves more from the media and the Democrats.
Our National Guard deserves more. Attack Donald Trump all you want.

(28:56):
That's the game. That's politics up, handcuffing and deriding the
men and women who keep us safe. They do not
deserve it. Coming up next, Mark Simone, Welcome streaming hosts
Bill O'Reilly and Fox News commentator Greg Jarrett, and now
a recap of today's show. Wr White House correspondent John

(29:19):
Decker gave the details on Donald Trump's abrupt exit from
the G seven summit last night.

Speaker 11 (29:26):
Yeah, he's back at the White House. He arrived back
at the White House at five.

Speaker 8 (29:30):
Thirty am this morning.

Speaker 11 (29:31):
The reason for coming back and cutting his visit short
in Canada had everything to do with the conflict between
Israel and Iran. The President said he didn't want to
communicate by phone. He wanted to be in the situation
room in person. And that's the reason why the President
decided to cut that trip short and come back to Washington,
d C.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
Republican candidate for New York City Mayor, Curtis Leewa believes
that a crowded Democratic Party makes his path to becoming
the next mayor.

Speaker 12 (30:00):
I know everybody's getting called tied up and not what
happens if Mondami somehow pulls an upset against Cuomo and
the Democratic primary Larry, it doesn't matter. In the general election.

Speaker 7 (30:13):
There will be five of us.

Speaker 12 (30:14):
There will be Mondami, there will be Cuomo, there will
be Adams, there will be a guy nobody really knows,
Jim Walton, and then there will be me and I
start out with thirty percent of the vote.

Speaker 7 (30:24):
So just do the math.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
Former New York City Council Minority Leader Joe Borelli thinks
it's easy to see how Zorin Mamdani will run New
York City if he becomes the next mayor.

Speaker 13 (30:35):
The problem with Zowrin's plan is that it doesn't add up.
The rever doesn't meet the road. When you're you know,
talking about magic and sprinkles and how you're going to
save the city in pre grocery stores and things like that,
it just doesn't add up. This is a guy who
was a radical throughout his entire short career in the
state Assembly, and he will govern the mayoralty as a radical,

(30:58):
non a progressive, a radical.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Former wr News director Joe Bartlett may disagree with the
listeners on some of Trump's decisions, but he found something
they can agree on. And you know what, We're also
going to make this our talkback of the morning and
the winner of a Mente in the Morning t shirts.

Speaker 14 (31:17):
A message for Joe Bartlett. Hey, Joe, hope you're enjoying retirement,
but remember one thing Trump. With Trump, he's way better
than Coamala.

Speaker 4 (31:29):
Well, I'll give you that.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
That's true. No argument with that.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
They have no argument with that.
