This is a podcast from WR It's Mente in.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
The Morning on sevent ten wor good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
So I guess it makes sense. We've been all hot
and sweating over the last couple of days, and today
we're going to get a shower, lots of showers, possibly
thunder showers. If you live in a flood area, there's
a flood watch out for today. One to three inches
of rain in some spots. But listen to this. Some
areas could get five inches of rain. So it's either
(00:29):
feast or famine. Right in the Big Three, Mam Donnie
returns the filthy rich Ugandan socialist mayoral candidates or in
Mamdanni comes home in the wake of tragedy and he
blasts Independent candidate Andrew Cuomo for daring to criticize him
(00:49):
for not being in New York when the mass shooting occurred.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
For the former governor to have spent an entire day
speaking almost exclusively about me and barely about the New
Yorkers who have been killed is indicative of the very
politics New Yorkers want to leave.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
In the past.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Well, we'll see about that. The first of the funerals
for the four are killed in the Park Avenue mass
shooting twenty seven year old Julie Hyman from Rudent Management.
She was the youngest of the victims. She graduated summa
cum laude from Cornell Cornell.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
You know that love is a choice, and it's a
choice you make obvious to those you love every day
during the hardest times of my life.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
You've given this gift to me without question or hesitation,
and I love.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
You for that.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
That was her sister talking. The funeral for thirty six
year old police officer Dita Rule Islam will be held
at a mosque in Park Chester section of the Bronx
this morning. After hitting commuters with congestion pricing, the MTA
wants more money, a raid hike across the board. This
is going to affect everybody, train, subways, buses and yes,
(02:00):
even tolls and bridges. Unbelievable. Well, the Feds, they do
exactly what they always do. Nothing. It refused to budge
on interest rates even though the economy is doing well,
because the Fed chair Jerome Pal says inflation is still
too high. Really, they didn't feel that way a few
(02:20):
months ago.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
When they had the Jumbo ray cut fifty basis points
just before the election. In September of twenty twenty four,
the inflation rate was three plus.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
Now it's in the twos.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
The tsunami came and went hit the island of Hawaii
with no major damage and no loss of life.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
So far, we have not seen a wave of consequence,
which is a great relief to us.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
It's kind of a blessing to not be reporting any damage.
But then nine hours later, you figure California now has
a sense of release, and yet all of the sudden,
a rogue wave pushed by the sooner hits a beach
in Ventura County, oh No. Nine people had to be
(03:12):
taken to the hospital when that wave hit Pierpoint Beach
and washed aways cars and damaged buildings, And luckily nobody
was killed because it just swarmed over a lot of
people who had gathered at the beach. I guess to
watch the wave. They got a first hand look at it.
Let's talk about the return of mom. Donnie. So he
(03:35):
came home yesterday and went right to the home of
Ditio Islam. He hugged his grandfather. He talked about that
a lot, But the media was pretty good yesterday. I've
been really disappointed with the new York media. You know,
he went and he had this whole act and how
(03:58):
upset he was and how he wanted to get right back,
but he wasn't able to catch another flight, and so
he took the one that he was scheduled on, and
that his team. He always talks about his team. I
wonder where he gets his team from, probably from mommy.
But his team set it up so he could go
right to the Bronx to see the family of Didero Islam,
(04:20):
And so he got all that out of the way,
and then the media did their job. They went after him,
and especially about what Andrew Cuomo has been saying while
he's away that he wants to defund the police, and
he's tweeted that several times.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I am not defunding the police. I am not running
to defund the police. Andrew Cuomo is far more comfortable
living his life in the past and then attacking tweets
of twenty twenty than in running against the campaign that
we have been leading for the last eight months.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Right. He says he did tweet it a lot, but
way back after George Floyd died because he was affected
by that and he got caught up in the movement.
But since then, he says, his policies have grown. However,
he still wants to get rid of the exact task force,
the Terrorist task Force, the Mass Event task Force that
(05:18):
responded on Park Avenue to the shooting.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
The Assemblyman called from the dismantling of the Strategic Response Group,
that is the group that responds to terrorist attacks, that
is the group that responded to the shooting on Monday.
So he just doesn't understand government, and he doesn't understand
public safety, and he is dangerous in that regard.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Who does understand public safety? Mayor Adams, if you remember,
he was the first, one of the first people on
the scene and he was wearing a vest at the
time because he's a former cop. So he was with
the Strategic Response Group and he had he says, Mamdani
just doesn't know what he's talking about.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
When you start dismantling the pieces of the law enforcement
apparatus that are specifically designed to carry out functions, that
is extremely dangerous and a lack of knowledge and understanding
of these roles really could harm law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, now I have to give mom Donni credit, and
I've given him credit for this all along. Is even
though I believe his whole campaign is a lie. He's
not who he says he is. He's a rich kid
from Uganda who claims he's from the streets and he's
going to help the little man and he's going to
take on the rich. But he is the rich, and
(06:43):
he lives very, very wealthy. He's worth his mom's worth
hundreds of millions of hours. But he does tell you
what he wants to do. He is pretty open. That's
the reason he's been attacked over and over again. You know,
the going after the rich, raising the corporate tax rate,
(07:06):
raising the tax rate on those making over a million dollars,
not hiring any more police officers. He's really honest about that.
And when he was hit with the Strategic Response Group,
and if he's going to get rid of them, he
didn't deny it.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
When it was first formed, there was an intention for
its use to be more akin to the manner in
which it was deployed earlier this week. What we have found, however,
is the city has come to rely upon the Strategic
Response Group as its primary means of response to acts
of protests across the city.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
So that's what he's upset about. What he's upset about
even though the Strategic Response Group is the group that's
supposed to respond to terrorism, to mass shooting events. They're
extremely important to have in this city and they are
the best of the best. You saw how quickly they
got there and how quickly they secured the entire area.
(08:06):
That's what they're supposed to do. What he's upset about
why Mom Donnie wants to get rid of them is
because they've gone after his people, Because they've gone after
the pro Hamas anti Israel forces that showed up on
Columbia and at NYU and on the streets of New York.
(08:30):
He can't believe that these people that took over a campus,
that hurt security guards, that threatened Jewish students, that made
them stay in their rooms, that took over a library,
he can't believe that the Strategic Response Group was sent
for them. They're just kindly hummas people. Why would you
(08:57):
bug them? Look at there's so much wrong with this guy.
But I want to get back to what Cuomo said
in a second ago. He's not ready for prime time.
He's been an assemblyman for a few years and now
he's running for a mayor and he's never run anything
except a staff of about ten and somebody else seems
(09:17):
to be running his campaign. I don't know whoere that is,
but it's somebody that is. Mommy paid.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I believe what in a Wernikov, says the Republican council
person who fled Russia. She knows all too well zorin
Mam Donnie's type.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
I'm an immigrant from the former Soviet Union and families
like wine escaped. Exactly what Mam Donnie's about to bring
to New York City should he become mayor. Anti Semitism, communism, socialism,
government overreach and empty.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Shelves, right, government overreach. But he's told us all that,
he said, this is exactly what I'm going to do.
I'm going to do what they've done every other socialist
and communist country. That's what I'm gonna do. That's what
you can expect from me. And those who have no
sense of history, unlike in Nivernikoff, who has a deep
(10:13):
sense of history, a personal sense of what this is like,
they go, oh boy, this sounds great. That's what exactly
what happened in the Soviet Union and other communist countries.
It sounds great. It's horrible in reality. This has been
