Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now from my Heart Radio World headquarters in New York City.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's many in the morning on sevent ten war.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
It's the weekend. It's gonna be a beautiful day today,
most of tomorrow is gonna be beautiful. They say. Late
in the day, there's gonna be some passing thunderstorms, showers.
You know that's gonna happen. Every time you start talking
about the weather too far out of the bad weather
sneaks into it. But this is nice to enjoy today.
(00:31):
Today is gonna be beautiful. Enjoy the day. In the
Big three, let's start with the mayor's race. Mayor Adams,
a former cop, gets endorsements from several law enforcement unions,
and matter of fact, most of them.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Don't tell me about law enforcement over time. Tell me
about how we brought down crime in the city.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
That's what our members. By the way, crime in the
city so far this year is the lowest it's been
in history. Killings this year the lowest have been in history.
In the latest polling, as you know, Harris comes in
I mean Adams comes in fourth, behind Mom, Donnie Cuomo
(01:12):
and Sliwa, who are locked in a statistical three way tie.
Republican Curtis Sliwa is very much in this race.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
The one thing everybody knows, you can't buy, rent, leaseh
or own. Curtis Sliwa, the billionaires on all three of
these candidates. You know who owns me, the spirit of
my mother and father, the blue collar working class.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
That's who I.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Dedicate this city to when I become mayor.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
That's a great point. That's a great point. No scandals,
nothing in his past. Coming up at nine oh five,
Curtis Lee will be here live in Washington. Donald Trump
has been diagnosed with the condition that affects his veins
and cardiovascular system.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
This diagnosis is a progressive one, meaning that there's no
curative treatment or intervention, so it certainly can lead to
persistent swelling, which can lead to persistent pain and difficulties
with mobility. With at the age of seventy nine can
be difficult at the age of seventy nine, while also
being the president can be a tremendous amount of work.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Doctor Youngcatz Nelson from the Vein Clinic will be here
at nine twenty to explain what the president has and
how it is treated. And in East Rockaway in Nasa County,
over one thousand gallons of oil leaks into the Mill River.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
So it's everywhere on the boats of jet skis like,
now we're going to be responsible clean and it's like,
who's going to clean it now?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
This is a cooling area of cooling oil and it's
considered non hazardous, but still affects wildlife and prevents people
from swimming. Psee ANDNG is responsible for the spill and
they say they are handling it. In the Senate, they
voted to cut funding for NPR Radio for being more
political than public radio. It's about the nine billion dollars
(02:58):
that we're going to save or ninety billion the tenure window,
and where I come from, that's still a lot of money.
Another broadcast that is going to go away for being
too political, The Late Show with the Trump hating Stephen Colbert.
It's not just the end of our show, but it's
the end of the Late Show on CBS. I'm not
(03:18):
being replaced. This is all just going away. Yeah, he
killed the Late Show. Poor David Letterman who created that.
He just killed the Late Show. Stephen Colbert just could
not help himself. All across the country, they've been trying
to say to CNN, to MSNBC. Look, the American people
(03:39):
are rejecting this. You gotta change your ways. This is
new ownership just about everywhere saying you got to change
your ways. We want to make money, we want people
to like us, and they refuse. And so what happens, Well,
person after person is finding out what happens. They end
up losing their job, in this case, an entire franchise.
(04:03):
They feel so bad for David Letterman. We're going to
talk more about that during the show. But let's talk
about what's going on in the mayoral election, because a
lot is happening. There's a whole lot of moving parts
going on. Zurin mom Donnie got a big wake up call.
So Zura mom Donni went down to Washington right for
(04:23):
that socialist breakfast where all the crazies from Congress came
to fawn over him. I think he's a very personal,
smart young man.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
It's just beautiful to have someone who is so authentic.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
You know that money cannot buy that.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Zora Mamdani is an incredible talent, hard not to be
won over.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
You have Alc and Zahran, that's a combos.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
This guy is not a communist, He's not a socialist.
He's an advocate for a small capitalism. He says he's
a socialist. If you ask, he says, I'm a democratic socialist.
I'm a socialist. He doesn't try to hide it, So
don't cover that up. Don't say you met with him
(05:09):
and then you came away thinking, oh, he's not a socialist. No,
he is. Everything he says he's gonna do, free buses,
government owned grocery stores, rent control to the point where
they can't. It's a rent freeze. Everything he says he's
gonna do is socialist. And he wants to go after
(05:33):
the billionaires. And that's why, by the way, and that's
coming up. The billionaires will not even meet with him.
There was a meeting set up and most of them
didn't even show up. They don't want to talk to him.
He's gonna find out how important that is. When you're
running a political campaign. You gotta watch out what you say.
You gotta watch out when you tell these billionaires who
(05:55):
all own companies or run companies, or are responsible for
the finance of that company. It's really difficult when you
tell them, not only that is their personal income tax
going to be hit hard, but their corporate tax is
going to and you think they're gonna say, oh, like you,
here's some money. Takes a lot of money to run
this campaign. He's gonna find out the hard way. And
(06:17):
it's one of the reasons that Yeah, he gets AOC
and he and he gets Bernie Sanders. They love him, right,
they get the he gets the endorsement of them, But
everybody else is keeping away, including all the most powerful
New Yorkers. Hochel, no endorsement right now, Schumer, no endorsement
(06:39):
for Mondannie. The guy that's getting the most heat for
that is Hakeem Jefferies. We have TVs on here right now.
I'm looking right off the top. There are people going
after Jeffries in the hall, saying, what are you gonna
When are you gonna endorse mom? Donni? When are you
gonna endorse mom Donnie? When might that happen? And over
(06:59):
and over again. He says, you know, I'm not ready
for that.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Why are you not endorsing the guy that won the
Democratic primary in a contested election in your backyard?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Well, I look forward to sitting down and talking to him.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I didn't get involved in that primary election, and I
don't know him well.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yeah, he keeps coming up from every with every excuse
from the world. I got to meet him, you know.
And by the way, in the past, they all everybody
I just talked about, all the Democrats jumped on immediately.
If anybody wins the Democratic nomination, they automatically get their endorsement.
This time, it's even they're scared. Even the Democrats, even
(07:42):
left leaning Democrats who don't go as far as him,
are scared of what he says. It is interesting though,
that Jeffries yesterday got up to give a speech when
they were talking about cuts to NPR and cuts to USAID,
he got up and started talking about affordability. So a
(08:05):
lot of the people that met including Josh Gotttheimer in
New Jersey that met with Mom Donnie the other day,
they didn't want to meet with him because they were
going to endorse him, or they liked his policies, they
liked his campaign. They thought he was onto something when
he talked about affordability, and now you're going to listen
(08:25):
to it. More and more Democrats are going to talk
about affordability because they believe that's why he won, because
he tapped into something of an issue that they were
ignoring they've been they've been searching for an issue. So
Mom Donnie at least gave the Democratic Party a direction,
(08:47):
but they're not gonna They're not going to talk about
any of the policies he did. So he he had
this meeting with the billionaires, and many of them were
supposed to be there and didn't show up. Jamie Diamond
is probably the most famous who didn't show up. Some
of the real big ones didn't show up. Some people
did show up and met with him, including Loretta Hirsch,
and it was interesting what she had to say. And
(09:09):
this is, by the way, this is what a lot
of people say about him.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
They heard a really charming athbook guy who is well prepared.
He made jokes, he made self deprecating jokes. But they
did not hear someone who changed his policies. And so
if you had concerns about his economic policies going into
the meeting, you had the same concerns going out.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
That was very nice, that was very corporate. And what
she's saying is, there's no way in hell we're giving
this guy any money, because he's going to come after
all of our corporations, and he's going to come after
our paychecks. And by the way, the Republican Party, they're
grabbing on to Ma, Mom, Donnie. They love it. They
(09:50):
won't stop talking about him. Watch Fox News. He comes
up every fifteen minutes. They want to paint the Democratic
Party with this guy. They're making him the leader of
the Demomocratic Party.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
It would be a disaster for New York and for
this country. And I think it's quite telling that this individual,
a known communist, has been spending time in Washington this
week meeting with leaders on Capitol Hill.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yeah, and you heard Cuomo grabble into this too, How
he's dangerous, how he's going to ruin the city. You're
going to hear more about that in the weeks to come.
It's going to be a fascinating election with national ramifications,
and we'll keep talking about it. In the meantime, a
well known NFL player says he likes when his wife
nags him. We'll tell you about that. Plus tickets to

over one thousand gallons of oil leaks into the Mill River.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
So it's everywhere on the boats of jet skis like,
