Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is a podcast from WOR Good Morning New York.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
He is NY in the morning, sevent ten wo R.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
I do hope you made it through the storms, Okay,
I didn't. I have no power when I left the
house this morning. I had no power. Most of last night.
I had no power. And I know a lot of
you don't have power. Hopefully of you know you have
a transistor radio so you can listen to us. There
was some damage across the area. Trees were down, power
(00:35):
lines were down. Doesn't sound like any major bodily injuries,
except if kid was hit by lightning in Central Park.
He's going to be okay. We'll talk about that in
a second. In the Big Three today, we now know
that it will be at least a couple of weeks
before President Trump decides whether or not to join the
war and send all those bunker buster bombs to take
(00:58):
out Iron's nuclear path. That message was told to the
country from the President, as told by Press Secretary Caroline Levitch.
She quoted the President based.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
On the fact that there's a substantial chance of negotiations
that may or may not take place with Iran in
the near future. I will make my decision whether or
not to go within the next two weeks.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
So there we have. We can breathe easy for a
couple of weeks. Now. The town of Tenafly, New Jersey,
is celebrating now that freed hostage e Don Alexander is
back home. Oh.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Really excited to have her back.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
It's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
You know, part of our town's missing and now he's
finally home.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
So it's really nice for almost.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
To have him back.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
In the race for mayor, the young upstarts Zorin Mamdani
has had his first major blunder on his way to
Gracie Mansion when he refused to announce the anti Israel
terms from the River to the Sea and the global Antifada.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I know people from whom these things mean very different
things to me. Ultimately, what I hear in so many
is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights, in
standing up for palsty and human rights.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Yeah, he's gotten a lot of blowback from that, and
including some death threats. Early voting continues through the weekend.
An election day is Tuesday. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is
touring the country promising a complete overhaul of our nation's airports.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
I believe that we can do this and the whole
thing in three to four years. So this is not months.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
It's going to take years. But this can't take a decade.
This can't take six years. We have to start to
move now and move fast. I'll tell you what. He
has been really impressive because at the very same time,
you remember all the problems we had with Newark Liberty International,
all the problems we had if none of the flights
were on time, people were upset waiting there for hours.
(02:56):
That was last month. Well, United Airlines puts out a
report every month of on time flights. Newark Airport now
for last month now leads the country in on time flights.
This after being dead last way last in that same
category a month ago. And that is all because of
(03:19):
what Sean Duffy did. A quick moving but powerful line
of thunderstorms hit our area as we just talked about,
knocking down trees, knocking down power lines, and in Central
Park a boy is hit by lightning.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
And lightning.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah, that was put out over police radio and they
responded they got him. It's a fifteen year old boy.
It was taken to Columbia University Irving Medical Center. He
is now in stable condition, ma'am. What a relief, just
left right now with an incredible story to tell the
of his life all right now. Since the early voting
(04:03):
continues today and the early voting is up, it's still dismal,
but it's up from the last few years. It's now
running it like seven percent. Seven percent of the people
have voted, and in the past it's been one percent,
so it's way way up. So that's the good news.
There's at least a little bit of excitement about this race,
and there really shouldn't be because the primary, as we've
(04:25):
been talking about the last few days, means nothing because
they're all still going to be running in the general election.
But the Andrew Cuomo campaign got a big influx of money.
Not only did it they get the endorsement from former
Mayor Bloomberg, who is a billionaire, but they got five
(04:45):
million dollars inserted to the super pack. And I hate
these super packs. I just wish that outlaw of them.
The superpack that is backing Andrew Cuomo.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
He wants to make sure that we have a mayor
who is competent and qualified to save the city, and
he believes that's me. I think mister Bloomberg is also concerned,
as are many Jewish New Yorkers, about statements that mister
Mandami has made.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
It's a big endorsement too, because Bloomberg Bloomberg, as you know,
started out as a Republican and then became an independent,
and he was our last really good mayor except for
that last term he ran one term too many, but
aside from that, he was just a great mayor. The
city was running wonderfully. So it's a big endorsement. The
money's probably even bigger because these elections can be won
(05:41):
by money. As you've been seeing over the last couple
of days, as you've watched TV, it's just ad after
ad after ad after ad after ad. And what is
Zura Mamdani going to say right now, except, you know,
you can't buy this election.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
Politics is not something that can simply be bought by
billionaires and corporations. It's also something that can be won
by working people. And that is what's on the ballot
this June twenty.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Fourth, yep. And it I'll be on the ballot come
November as well, because Mam Donnie's still going to be
on the ballot and Cuomo is still going to be
on the ballot, and so this election between the two
of them doesn't seem to mean all that much. All
the other candidates are way down in the polls, and
and look, I think Mom Donnie is going to take
a real hit in the polls because of something he
(06:25):
said on the Tim Miller podcast. Now. Tim Miller is
a longtime political strategist. His podcast has become extremely popular.
Every major politician goes on his podcast, and so he
had Zorin Mom Donnie on and he started talking to
him about the pushback about some terms that he has
(06:47):
refused to distance himself from. Wake you uncomfortable? Like the
phrase globalizenttifata from the river to the sea. Does that
make you come uncomfortable?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I know people for whom those things mean very different things.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
To me.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Ultimately, what I hear so many is a desperate desire
for equality and equal rights.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
The fact that he defended those terms, the fact that
he defended terms that the Jewish Committee community and most
reasonable people consider anti semitic. From river to the sea
means the elimination of Israel. That's what it means. There's
really no other interpretation of that. And so for him
(07:25):
to sit there and go, you know, well, it does
mean that it's a fight for human rights. Means no,
it's not, it's not, it's never been. You're wrong, and
the blowback you're getting right now you deserve.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
It pains me to be called an anti Semite. It
pains me to be painted as if I am somehow
in opposition to the very Jewish New Yorkers that I
know and love and that are such a key part
of the city. And yet I know that when I
share that emotion, I continue to face a language as
if I am a beast.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah, except you talk like an anti Semite.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
And and so if as soon as you defend those terms,
as soon as you do as you defend the antifata
and say a globe, but that's not that bad, that's
not that bad.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
You know, the elimination of Israel, the killing of Jews,
that's not that bad. From river to the sea. No, no, no, no,
you just misunderstand. And then again he's he's gone to
the tears for sympathy.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
It takes a toll to wake up in the morning
and read messages again, threats on my life, on the
people that I love, and I try not to talk
about it.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Look, I'm sorry. I know it's taken a toll on him.
Maybe he shouldn't be an anti Semite, but it's taking
a toll on him. You know, you can feel for
the guy, but at the same time you can look
at the guy and say, is he emotionally stayed to
be mayor of the largest city in the country. Really,
(09:08):
every time you take some incoming you're gonna cry. Two
things can be true. I can say, man, you know
that's a shame that you're going through this. Nobody wants
death threats for themselves and their families. But I think
you can talk to every other politician right now. There's
(09:28):
death threats galore in Washington, DC. You know what they do,
They don't talk about it. This guy's looking for sympathy
because people are calling anti Semite, which seems to be
true based on what he says himself. So it's really
hard to feel sorry for him right now. And then
(09:50):
you also have to worry is this gonna be every
single time he's gonna cry in front of city council
public addresses when he's not getting his way. Yeah, I
think he's just elimited himself from competition. How about this
fifty years after the movie Jaws, America's first blockbuster, scared
(10:13):
people out of the water, and now a real life
shark attack in Florida. We'll talk about it next. This
has been a podcast from wor
