Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here's Ninty in the morning on sevent ten.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Wr Ah, good morning, tell you the end of the week.
It's Friday, and a whole lot going on in the
Big Three today. Well, that escalated quickly. The bromance is
over and Donald Trump and Elon Musk engage in a
war of words and threats.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Elon Musk knows a lot, so to think that he's
now on the outside, and he has a war chest.
He's got more money than anybody. This is something that's
extremely concerning just to insiders within Donald Trump's orbit.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Natalie Makeleori is going to ask New Yorkers about that
feud in her beat on the Street at eight point
fifty this morning. That should be fascinating my oral candidates
or in mom Donni is facing criticism for refusing to
acknowledge Israel as a Jewish state.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Just guess or no?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Do you believe in a Jewish state of Israel?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I believe Israel has the right to exist, not as
a Jewish state, as a state with equal rights.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
New York Attorney General Letitia James says the Mayor of
New York is just a stepping stone for Andrew Cuomo.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
All of these issues that we are dealing with in
the City of New York is because of this one
man who basically wants to resurreate himself. And lastly, let
me say that Andrew Cuomo is not interested in serving
as the mayor of the City of New York. He
is only interested in running for the president of these
United States.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Harvey Weinstein does a phone interview from prison and admits
he has regrets.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I have regrets that I put my family through this,
that I put my wife through this, that I acted
it morally.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
That was an interview with Rosanna Scatto and Fox five.
We'll have more throughout the morning. Prosecutors release alleged healthcare
CEO assassin Luigi Mangioni's manifesto to prove his motive.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Well, this is quite a bombshell if you've been following
this case since the beginning.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
He said he wanted to whack the CEO, he wanted
to generate news headlines. He said he had it coming.
So now we have a motive. And former Jet quarterback
Aaron Rodgers has found a new job as the Pittsburgh
Steelers quarterback and the most famous Steelers quarterback of all time,
Terry Bradshaw doesn't like it at all. That is just
(02:27):
to me as a joke.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
What are you gonna bring him in for one year?
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Right? No, man, that guy needs to stay in California,
and thank you, ju won't bark and risk it to
the gods out there. All right, Now, let's get to
the Zorin Mam Donnie controversy, because it had to start coming, right,
there had to be something. There was always this undercurrent
(02:57):
people accusing of of anti Semitism. But he basically skated.
He skated his way to second place. Nobody really went
after him. You know why because most of the people
in the liberal media in New York, most of the
liberal Democrats that run New York that are really socialist,
wants Zorin Mamdani. But it was during the debate where
(03:23):
he slipped up. Now, Israel is self identified as a
Jewish state has been since nineteen forty eight. It's in
the Israelis parliament. The Canesset passed the basic Law that
Israel was a nation state of the Jewish people in
twenty eighteen just to reaffirm that. So it really is
(03:47):
given that Israel is a Jewish state. It was founded
for the Jewish people, and eighty percent of the population
is Jewish. But during the debate this happened just as no, no,
do you believe in a Jewish state of Israel.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I believe Israel has the right to exist as a
Jewish state, as a state with equal rights, exist as
a Jewish state. And his answer was no, he won't
visit Israel. So that's what he was trying to No, no,
unlike unlike you, I answer directly. I believe every state
should be a state of equal rights.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Okay, thank you, Well, he just said I would. I
would answer every question directly. And the question that Cuomo
brought up, the question that started all of this, was
what would your first visit overseas as mayor by and
almost every one of them said Israel, and Zori Mamdani
(04:45):
would not say that. That's what brought up this whole discussion.
So what Cuomo said was he's not going to Israel,
and he said no, no, no, I can't answer my own questions,
and then he didn't answer it. There there is some
thing going on here that is dangerous for the Mam
Donnie campaign and dangerous for New York City and especially
(05:08):
for Jews in New York City, because remember he refused
to sign onto a resolution year after year denouncing the Holocaust.
That's pro forma. Almost everybody signs onto it. Only this
little tiny handful of like four or five people don't
sign on to it, and one of them is Urin Mamdanni.
(05:28):
He refused to sign a resolution celebrating Israel's seventy seventh birthday.
These are things that you just sign. I mean, it's
a no brainer unless unless you're an anti semi, unless
you're so afraid of losing your Muslim support that you
(05:53):
don't sign on to it. There is something real here.
For a while, it just seemed like POWs is normal,
But now it is getting awfully strange. By the way,
Rosanna Scotto has become like the Barbara Walters of New York.
Everybody goes to Rosanna Scottish. They get every interview on
(06:16):
Fox five. It's funny when I when I started at WABC,
she sat next to me for like just a couple
of weeks before they let her go. I had started
in the late nineteen eighties, and then they're a mid
nineteen eighties and she was sitting next to me, and
then it was a new management that brought me in
and they were clearing house and she was one of
(06:37):
the ones to go. So I didn't get to know
where that well, just to say hi, just to say
good morning in the mornings. But man, that ended up
good for her. That was the best thing. She's like
a star in New York and so everybody goes there.
I mean, like every interview. I told you she has
the Barbara she has the Harvey Weinstein interview. We're gonna
(06:59):
play a little bit of that later and they're going
to be featuring again on Fox this morning. But here
is mom Donnie. Right after the debate one Fox five
with Rosanna Scato, do.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
You support Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I support Israel's right to exist as a state with
equal rights. I believe that every Sanata is a Jewish state,
because I'm not comfortable supporting any state that has a
hierarchy of citizenship on the basis of religion or anything else.
I think that in the way that we have in
this country, equality should be enshrined in every country in
the world.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
That's my belief. WHOA. He went a little bit further
with Rosanna Escotto not only saying he just wants equal rights.
He's uncomfortable. He is uncomfortable with them being a Jewish state.
This is going to be an issue. This is not
(07:51):
going away. Absolutely. I would love to hear from you.
By the way, you can go to iHeartRadio app and
leave us talkback. So you go to the iHeartRadio app,
you look for seven to ten wor and you click
the talkback feature. There's a microphone there. You leave your message.
We'd love to hear what you have to say on this.
I was so concerned about Zorhinmandani, not because this issue.
(08:15):
Now I'm concerned with him over this, because I knew
it was always a little underlying, but it never really
rose to the surface because he's been very good about it.
He's extremely polished, and so I thought to myself, Okay,
maybe this is just one of those political attacks and
there's nothing, you know, big to it. I know that
(08:36):
he didn't sign on to the Holocaust thing, but you know,
he's been pretty good on the trail. Now they're going
after him and he's sounding bad. The fact that he
is just has a refusal to talk about this issue,
to just say yes, it's a Jewish state because it's
been established as a Jewish state is concerning. And Steve
(09:00):
Kornaki has been looking at this race as well. But AOC,
by the way, came out. This is another thing. I'm
sure she's now thinking, Wow, who did I endorse? She
endorsed or in Mom Donnie. But I don't think that's
going to really have And Steve Karnaki doesn't either, And
he is the analyst, the political analyst, and the poll
guy for NBC. He doesn't think it's going to have
(09:24):
that big of an effect either.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Her appeal, Kasio Cortes's appeal, I think overlaps with what
Mom Donnie's has been so far, so I think it reinforces,
it doesn't necessarily expand he's doing best with younger voters,
self described very liberal voters, college educated voters. He actually
does better with white voters than non white voters. That
sort of progressive base of the Democratic Party we talk
(09:46):
about a lot is with AOC, and it's increasingly with
him in this race.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah, everybody is so enthralled with AOC, especially in the media.
She doesn't carry any weight with endorsements, none. It's not
going to do a thing, nothing, nothing, nothing, You know
who she endorsed in the last mayoral election, Maya Wiley,
who finished third. So he's got a little bit of
(10:11):
a problem. Now he's gonna have to answer for this,
and somebody has to put his feet to the fire.
It just started, it's got to continue. Well. The cast
of Back to the Future has gotten back together and
are asking your help in finding a missing prop. We'll
tell you what it is next. Plus we have tickets
to see The Beach Boys at seven twenty five and
a twenty five
