Speaker 1 (00:00):
Another New York Morning is calling Many in the morning
is on seventeen awards and good morning, Happy Tuesday. Great
to be back in the Big three today. The battle
over a gangbanger deported to an L. Salvador prison continues,
and Donald Trump throughout the possibility that he would send
(00:24):
American criminals to L. Salvador's prison.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
If it's a home grown criminal, I have no problem. Now,
we were studying the laws right now, Pam is studying.
If we can do that, that's good. And I'm talking
about violent people. I'm talking about really bad people.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
We have high profile criminal defense attorney Jeffrey Lickman to
talk about that, to give his opinion at seven thirty five.
I just happened to think that sometimes he talks off
the cuffin many of the times, he should keep it
to himself until he finds out if it's legal. Another
tragic air disaster in New York, this one ups state
when a plane carrying a family of four crashed on
(01:05):
approach for landing. This comes, of course, after that heartbreaking
crash last week into the Hudson that killed a family
of five. The new US Attorney for New Jersey, Alena Haba,
has opened an investigation into Governor Phil Murphy and Attorney
General Matt Platkin and anyone else who stands in the
(01:28):
way of federal deportations.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
And I'm looking at you, Patterson, New Jersey. I will
be investigating you. And if you did commit a crime,
if you ordered obstruction, if you are ordering concealment and harboring,
you will be charged.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
And it seems like the stunt worked. New Jersey Senator
Corey Booker broke the record for the longest speech in Congress.
Now he has jumped nine points and only trails Kamala Harrison.
A poll of who Democrats want running for president in
four years or three and a half, three years in
(02:04):
so many months. We'll ask editor in chief of the
National Review, Rich Lowry about that coming up. It was
only a ten minute flight, but the Blue Horizon trip
into space, even though it only lasted those ten minutes,
was enough to change CBS anchor Gail King's life the
atc control, I might even now get my ears pierced.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I've never gotten my ears.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
Has that hurt?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
But I feel I walked out of there thinking, gosh,
I can do anything.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
We've got more on the historic shot into space coming
up in about ten minutes, and just a reminder that
today is tax Day. Either you get your tax filing
in or do like I do every year, get an extension.
Natalie Migliori will ask about the stress of tax Day
in her Beat on the Street at eight fifty.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Man. I like to say, it's good to be back.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
But I I literally just got off a plane yesterday
last night in the JFK and got back here. I
was on a trip to Italy with my wife, and
I thought, you know, I thought I could just tough
it out and I.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Could come in the next day. Man, Man, was that
a mistake? You hurt? I am?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I am hurt, And of course, and then yesterday we
had drama. So I got in and I thought I
had plenty of time to get here, like a lot
of drama. And so my my family was getting on
a bus and they were they were going back home,
and I was going to stay in New York overnight,
and I had a hotel all set and I was
saying goodbye to them. I went outside and said goodbye
to them as they get on the bus, and I
(03:40):
ran to go to the bathroom before I got a
lyft to come into town. And when I was done,
when I washed my hands, I look around. I can't
find my I can't find my suitcase.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
It was mister luggage.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yeah my suitcase. Well I had my bag had so
I didn't I didn't lose all of it.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Thank god. I didn't lose my passport. I didn't lose
my wallet anything like luggage.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Oh yeah, but my my suit So I run and
they I tell somebody. I call on the phone. I
go to baggage claim, I go to lost luggage. I
go to everything trying to find it, and I can't
find it. And finally they called the police. And this
nice guy is really nice young cop. And I'm I'm
(04:26):
going back and forth on what his last name was.
I should have written it down. Mike, I said, Mike Miller.
It might be Mike Holmes, but he was he knows
who he is, and he was great. He was wonderful.
So they actually went in and they tracked through video
my last hour in the in the airflow getting through
(04:49):
custom Are you Beyonce?
Speaker 5 (04:54):
It was amazing.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I mean, they they have me going through customs, they
have me saying goodbye to my family, they have me
going in the men's room. They have me running around
like a maniac looking for my bag. It was incredible,
and talking to everybody about it. It turns out I
didn't take my bag into the men's frum.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Don't laugh. He was so tired.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Thank you, Jacqueline. That was very nice of you because
I felt like an idiot. Well, enjoy that. So what happened? No,
I left it outside, and my son, being the great
guy he is, took it home.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Because he probably thought so he wants me to take
the luggage home because he's going to work.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
He doesn't need.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
As Hardy talked about it, I actually had talked about
that and then changed my mind that I wasn't going
to do that and just didn't relay that message telepathically.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
And he saw it and then he took it.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
So I just felt like an idiot, and you know
the So the cop then calls me and talks to
me about it.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Now, I was in the lift when I called you
right and told you the story.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Well, because I text, I sent you a text run
for something as like, oh he must be back. I'm like, hey,
world traveler, how you doing?
Speaker 5 (06:07):
My loggage was stolen and I went through the whole
drama until he found it.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah, the cop called me when I was on the
phone with you. When the cop called me, and and
went through the whole thing. And then he he detailed
everything I did, every store I went into, anything I did,
he did.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
All of it. It is amazing.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
They have every inch of the airport covered with cameras.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
I wish I had that in my house when I
lose something. Oh, I know, wouldn't that be great?
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Catch you dancing around your pajamas holding your brush as
a microphone.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
How did you know that? How do you know that?
Speaker 4 (06:45):
I've always known that about you. It's written all over you.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
So anyway, it was a wonderful trip. And uh, it
was a wonderful trip. And by the way, this trip
is put on by a company called Conservative Tours, and
it is it is.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
You're laughing.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
I thought I had my mic off, But it's so
fitting for you.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
It is, and I'm proud of that, and so were
all the people that were there. I mean, the whole
idea of the tours are so that someone who is
conservative doesn't feel like they're an outcast.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Yeah, I mean the people traveling to travel with people
really like that. Oh, I just thought it was something else,
like it was like a conservative, like, you know, there
was something else conservative about it. No, I didn't think
it meant just what it says conservatives. I thought it
was like something else, like, you know, they were very
conservative with where they went or how much they charged
(07:36):
you or something like that.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
So I was like, oh, oh, no, you you your
laughter was valified, validated. It was actually a conservatives political conservatives.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
I didn't realize that.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah, And it's amazing. It's put on by a guy
named Ken Chase. He's been doing it for twenty one years.
He actually ran again, ran against Ted Kennedy for Senate
up in Massachusetts, and I said to him, I said,
oh my god, why would you do that? And he said,
I was just carrying the batter. I knew I was
going to get killed. But he did debate him. But anyway,
he did say, this is my wife's in hair station
(08:12):
down in Philadelphia. I got to go because of her.
But he did say, you'd be interested in war, So
I bet you our listeners would love to go on
a trip together, I think. So you can go to
Conservative Tours dot com to check it out, and the
phone numbers right there and here's the amazing thing about Kenny.
He's been doing, as I said, for twenty one years.
He picks up the phone himself. So if you call,
(08:35):
you're going to get the owner of the company. And
so do me a favor and call and say you'd
love to go on a trip with Larry MENTI that's
who you'd like to go on a trip with from
WR because I would love to go on one of
these trips with you. There's a trip to Normandy that
I would love to go on, and then it goes
through battlefields and Ken is a historian, so Ken does
(08:57):
the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
And from what you told me, this trip was you know,
first class, my beautiful hotels and wonderful tours and just
you know, NonStop amazing things.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
So I sounds fantastic.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
And they and the tour guides are Italian and have
lived there all their life and of tours all their life.
So we Actually I'm going on too long about this,
I realized, But I.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Was just really, you had a great time. That's what
happens after a trip. Yeah, I was.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
It was really really impressed. The hotels were like none.
We were right on lakes with huge balconies, that was
our room, you know.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
And and they they.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
The tour guides would take us out every day to go,
first of all, to some cities. That a city called
Bollagio that was out in Lake Cuomo, which is gorgeous,
just absolutely beautiful. Stressa is another one that we went
to and that's where the beautiful hotel was.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
It was right on the lake.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
So anyway, Conservative tours dot Com just let them know
that you want to go on a trip, and because.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Because you deserve it, you deserve it to be on
a trip like that. Well, we're glad you're back.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Though, a lot of people, by the way, on the
trip celebrate celebrating anniversaries, celebrating getting married, celebrating all kinds
of stuff. So it's a wonderful trip for that. And
you can give any political opinion you want if you're conservative,
because everybody will agree with you. Well, that's enough about that.
I went on a little bit too long, but I
just got back and I had kind of an ordeal
(10:18):
