a huge mistake. The nine to eleven families tell the
(01:11):
mayor to stay away, but he pushes back along island.
Woman says she needs help getting rid of a stink
in the neighborhood, and people in fair Lawn want the
people in Patterson to be quiet. All right, let's get
into it. At five h four, maybe you were out
and about yesterday afternoon into last night, parts of New
Jersey just got pummeled. Heavy rain, lightning, hail triggered flash floods.
(01:34):
At least five people had to be rescued in River
Edge by firefighters after they got stuck in what was
just a wall of water. We had to walk through
the floodwaters.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
We were able to extricate the people out of the
cars over there.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
When you talk to those firefighters, they say they could
not believe how fast Root four was underwater, at least
portions of it anyway, and the calls came in big
time for hell, that was it. It was just came
down real quick.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
I mean personally, I wasn't ready for this.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah. And Hawthorne goff Old Road there turned into a
river also, just so quickly that people could not get
out of the way. And Ridgewood first responders talking about
lightning strike there that started a fire. There was hail
to I saw that outside my house. Franklin Lake's Edison,
Jersey City.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Last Night's just getting worse and worse every year.
Speaker 7 (02:25):
You know, it's just the weather's crazy.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
What is going on over here?
Speaker 8 (02:30):
I guess the storm jains are not working.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah, so the storm impacted New Jersey Transit as well.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Last night.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
The Pascack Valley Line suspended for a few hours, both
directions due to a down tree across the tracks near
the Westwood station. And now we're gonna have a little
bit more of this today, So a floodwatch is in
effect for the city much of the tri state. Powerful
storms poised to hit us significant rainfall, potential for flash flooding. Again,
(02:57):
a lot of this will likely be this after noon,
but the flood watch takes effect starting at eight a m.
This morning, and almost everybody in the listening areas included.
I mean, I could start naming the towns, but likely,
if you can hear me, you are under a flood watch.
In general, we could see one to three inches of
rain today. But here's the problem. Some areas could see
(03:18):
four to five and if you get four to five inches,
of rain a short period of time. Then you get
what you got in Bergen County last night some flash flooding.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Of course, we'll watch that all day long.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Five o six. Last night there was a candlelight vigil
in Queens to honor the life of Staff Sergeant Angel Rampersade.
She was the woman killed in Jordan buy an Iranian missile.
The community in Ozone Park they turned out in huge
numbers last night to support her grieving family.
Speaker 9 (03:46):
Considering a controversial conflict that we have over there, and.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
You know the parent's pain.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Me as a parent, grandparent, you could only feel that I.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Need all the support we can give them in this time.
You have just complete strangers showed I'm not surprised to
hear that. And then people who knew the family well.
Her pastor, he spoke out last night. He said he
remembers watching her grow up in the community ever since
the family had moved here from Trinidad.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
She understood that protecting Allas standing for freedom and step
it into danger or not just an act of duty.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
It was was her expression of love and Ozone Park
expressing their gratitude. A week after Angel and three other
American service members were killed in that Iranian missile attack
on their based in Jordan. Here's the Queensborough President, Donovan Richards.
Speaker 10 (04:37):
Angel Rampasord was not born in the United States of America,
but Angel Raampasaud was willing to die for the United
States of America. That takes a lot of courage.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yeah, And when it was all over last night, her
mother was able to muster a little bit to just
thank the people who had come out over the last.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Week to get her through this, or try to get
her through it.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I woul and you all from the bottom of my
thank you. Now. Angel's family planning a final goodbye later
this week, and local leaders are planning to ask the
city to rename not just the intersection where she lived,
but they want to stretch of the Cross Bay Boulevard
in a school, her school, PS sixty three, Maybe that
should bear her name as well. Angel Sarah Rampersad her
(05:22):
rank staff sergeant that came that was announced posthumously. She
was posthumously promoted. All good ideas to rename those things
after Angel. WABC News Time five time. Let's head up
to the Bronx the Mount Eden's section where a vigil
for a twelve year old who was shot and killed
continues to go. Jacob grow Jacob Fretz, known to loved
(05:47):
ones as Kai. He was riding his bike to a
bodega in Mount Eden. Right nearby, four men were in
a fight. One of them pulled out a gun started
firing off, and one of those bullets hit Jacob. Because
he was about to walk in or actually had already
walked into this bodega, walked back out with a ball
that he wanted. He took a bullet to the chest.
(06:08):
He then staggered back into the bodega where he passed away.
Friends and family have been coming to wish them well,
to mourn with the family. His father was a retired
police sergeant who had worked in the Bronx. Here were
people outside the vigil where candles have been lit. Flowers
have been placed both outside the bodega and his home
(06:30):
in Mount Eden.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
There's nothing we can say. I We'll do him kind
of bran check up back. We are broken. Love your
love once, give your kids a hook today every day.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
So police arrested forty five year old William Ferrer over
the weekend outside of his home. You won't be shocked
to see he has a laundry list of prior crimes,
which of course begs the question, what's he doing back
out on the street. Fairer was arranged yesterday Bronx Criminal Court,
where a judge ordered him.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Held without bail.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
His case is scheduled to return for a grand jury
action on July thirty first. Mayor Mom Donnie weighing in
on this tragedy.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
Yesterday, I am so appreciative of the work of our NYPD,
and yet we also know that we can never say
that enough has been done when we are seeing our
children being killed on our streets.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Yeah, of course, it's just terrific.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Five eleven, let's go out to Seattle where it's a teenager,
a fifteen year old boy detained following Sunday nights mass
shooting that killed three injured four outside the Seattle Center
right near the Space Needle. Mayor Katie Wilson says this
teenager who is detained after the shooting, he was booked
into juvenile detention for firearms violation.
Speaker 11 (07:42):
I believe this teenager opened fire in the crowd, but
details are still under investigation now.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
The thought is is that it was two teens firing
at each other. One of the three people who were
involved in this, they were shot dead, but there's a
second gunman they're still looking for. Three victims were a
nineteen year old man. They think that it's the other gunman,
a forty four year old man who both died at
the scene, and a fifty six year old woman who
died at the hospital a short time later. The Seattle
(08:09):
Mayor says their heart goes out to the families of
the victims and everybody affected by the shooting that took
place during a food festival on Sunday.
Speaker 11 (08:16):
The terror and the trauma of gun violence reaches far
beyond those who are struck by the bullets.
Speaker 12 (08:21):
Any loss of life due to gun violence is unacceptable,
as is the terror it causes our community.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
That's the Seattle Police chiefs.
Speaker 12 (08:30):
Our officers as well as members from the fire department
medic teen ran toward gunfire and an attempt to render life,
save and aid and to disarm someone who was actively
firing a weapon into a crowd.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Yes, so the thought is it had nothing to do
with the crowd there, but a fight between these teenagers. Again,
that third gunman has not been found. Five point thirteen.
Savannah Guthrie addressing her mother's kidnappers and a new video
that she posted to Instagram yesterday. Her mom, Nancy, went
missing from her home in Tucson on February first, and
(09:08):
has yet to be found.
Speaker 13 (09:09):
We are in a nightmare that will not end. Nothing
about our situation has changed.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yeah, I can only imagine the Today's show co host
making a plea to the kidnappers, urging them to turn
themselves in or just turn over information anything they may have.
Speaker 13 (09:24):
It has been months since our mom was taken from us.
Our family is in agony.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
We have done our b.
Speaker 13 (09:36):
We will never stop looking for her. We will always
ache for her and feel that hole in our hearts.
The world can be a cruel and unforgiving place. And
I know that you have tried to do things the
right way. So I'm asking you, begging you to do
the right thing. Now, make the right choice.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
It is sort of amazing that they don't seem to
be any closer to finding her Nancy Guthrie at all,
or any details. At least, they haven't told us a
whole lot more from a Guthrie's Instagram post yesterday.
Speaker 13 (10:08):
Help us find her, tell us where to look for her.
I truly believe it is never too late to do
the right thing. Help us bring this situation to an end.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Now, the FBI joined in the search for Nancy, offering
a one million dollar reward for information leading to her recovery.
Savannah Guthrie says her family's hurting. The Guthrie family also
offering a million.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Dollar a world reward. Actually it's the FBI.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
It's one hundred thousand dollars reward for any information that
leads to her mother. In a moment, we'll head up
to Massachusetts where there's a sensational trial that just got
underway yesterday.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Gave you the latest details on that.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
For first five point fifteen, let's head over to the
seventy seven WABC Sports desk.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Good more than justin Ella.
Speaker 8 (10:54):
Good morning to you know them all. Light and we'll
start out here in Queens Francisco. Lindor hom I tripled
off the top of the wall, driving in six runs
as the Mets pulled away for a fourteenth free victory
over the Braves to grab the opener of a three
game series against Atlanta. Marcussemian hit a long two run homer.
That's not the three all tie and the sixth inning.
Tyroun Tailor extended his tara at to play with a
(11:14):
three run drive in the seventh as the last place
Mets match the season high with nineteen hits. Lindor Semi
and Taylor Bobachett and rookie a j Ewing all had
three hits as the Mats, minus injured slugger Juan Soto,
scored double digit runs for the tenth time this season.
Rookie starter Zach Thornton allowed three runs and six hits
and six and a third inning so left handers struck
out five and walking one in his fifth big league odding.
(11:35):
Next for the Mets, Ready Christian Scott opposes Atlanta South
for Chris Sale in Tonight's the middle game of this
three game series at home. First pitch from City Field
to schedule first seven to ten pm. In Chicago, Aldi
Sanchez hit a three run shot for his first career homer,
and the Yankees beat the White Sox in nine to
five in the opener of a four game series there.
Ben Rice had a tie breaking single in the seventh.
In New York put away the game with four more
(11:57):
runs in the eighth. Jass Chisham Junior had two hits,
two RBN two steals for New York. Jason Diminguez also
had two hits and scored twice. The Yankees won for
the sixth time in eight games and pulled in two
and a half games. If idle Tampa Bay for the
Al East lead. Friend Hendrick pitched inning and the third
scoreless for the win, and David Bednargo went out for
his twenty first save. Up next for the Yankees, Garrett Cole.
(12:19):
We'll get the start against Chicago lefty Anthony k in
tonight's game two or four against the White Sox. First
pitch from Chicago for the scheduled for seven forty pm.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
It seems like that All Star Break really actually helped
out the Yankees. No, they're playing good baseball since the
All Star Break.
Speaker 8 (12:34):
Yeah, for the most part. I mean, listen, you know
you beat up on the Phillies two out of three
over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
That's a good sign.
Speaker 8 (12:41):
And the White Sox are a playoff contender as well,
So you're playing good teams out of the break. I'd
be inclined to agree with you there, know them laden
that they are playing well out of the All Star Breaking.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Maybe it is it's just what they needed.
Speaker 12 (12:53):
Again.
Speaker 8 (12:53):
You know, you're starting to see them produce some runs.
Nine innings for nine runs last night. A couple of
more productive games in Philadelphia over the weekend, though they
were low scoring. But again, the arms are going to
be there in terms of the pitching. It's just a
matter of this offense keeping up while you have Judge
and Stanton out. So you know, we'll wait a couple
more weeks until Judge comes back. But in the meantime,
(13:16):
if you can keep winning ball games against good teams here,
you can out edging out these close games and that's
a good sign for yeah. And training camp starts today
for both the Jets and the Giants. Veterans reporting to
boats at Campsit there. That is your sports and no women.
I'm just on like seventy seven WABCA.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
WABC News Time five nineteen. Today, Day two in the
trial of the Massachusetts mom accused of murdering her three children,
Lindsey Clancy claims she was suffering from postpartum psychosis so
when she strangled her kids back in twenty twenty three.
But in court yesterday, the prosecutor, Shannon Buckingham told the
(13:54):
jury not to buy that this was a woman who.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
Acted intentionally, rationally and swift to accomplish a very specific.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Goal to kill it. Prosecution witness Patrick Clancy, that's Lindsay's
ex husband. He testified that Lindsay was having one of
her best days on the day that she killed her
five year old, her three year old and her eight
month old children. After killing her kids, Clancy or allegedly,
I should say, Clancy cut her wrists and neck and
jump from a second story in a suicide attempt that
(14:24):
has left her as a pair of Alegian She had.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
No motive, She loves her children.
Speaker 14 (14:30):
She intended to kill herself.
Speaker 3 (14:32):

ex wife's mental health and medications will be discussed further.

According to the Royal Grenada Police Force, married North Carolina

Speaker 3 (15:45):
Widell was on a three week vacation with a close friend.
Was staying at the Hideaway Waterfront Apartments when she went
missing five point twenty one. I've been watching some of
the video of this destructive tornado that ripped through northeast
Wisconsin yesterday, and there's his whole homes that are gone,
and I don't see that anybody was killed, which is
amazing when you see that just houses were blown to pieces.
(16:08):
Kathy Patton, who lives in Eagle River, says she and
her husband were shocked to see all the damage right
outside their home. Had no idea was this fad. We
were in the house and the wind came up, and
we had absolutely no idea that these trees went down
and there was this kind of damage. You know how
it is. It comes through quick, you walk out the door.
And she was shocked by what she has seen. The
(16:29):
tornado caused extensive damage, has left thousands without power, but
there are no confirmations Lisa this morning, of fatality or
even any serious injuries, which is incredible.
Speaker 16 (16:40):
We're very, very fortunate in the sense that there's no
harm done and nothing that skill affects us at all.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Really.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Yeah.

stories about it.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
They didn't like to write those stories.

That's why they call him the fake news.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
The President saysys tariffs targeting foreign autos have boosted domestic production.
Speaker 9 (18:11):

Now.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
While the President was on his way to Michigan yesterday
board Air Force one, he talked about in interest rate. God,
he's really pushing the Federal Reserve to make one.
Speaker 9 (18:45):
We should have the lowest interest rate in the world.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
The President telling reporters that the new head of the
Federal Reserve, Kevin worsh is doing a fantastic job. But
he says the Reserve board is very political and some
members may have bad intentions.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Well, they have a.
Speaker 9 (18:59):
Board, and Kevin's fantastic, but he's got a board and
the board members are.
Speaker 18 (19:05):
Very political.
Speaker 12 (19:06):
He wants to do the right thing. I know what
he wants to do.
Speaker 9 (19:10):
Than you need the consent of some people that have
perhaps bad attentions.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
The Federal Reserve will announce its next rate decision tomorrow,
five twenty five. The US in Iran have paused their
attacks now for a third straight day, amid calls for
more negotiations. Of course, moond It Hannah brant has More.
Speaker 19 (19:30):
President did express some optimism about where those negotiations stand.
He said he thinks they're going well. But he also
at the same time denied the reports of a shortage
of critical US missile interceptors. Axios had said that was
part of what attributed to this break in strikes, because
of course that leaves American forces more vulnerable and trying
(19:50):
to defend against Irani encounter attacks.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
And the President yesterday rejecting a suggestion that his patients
with negotiations could be wearing thin. He says Washington is
having very friendly talks those are his words with Tehran,
but suggests he's not prepared for prolonged negotiations he wants
to work out quickly. And then Prime Minister bb Netanyahu

We told you about this story yesterday, but we know more.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
The victim's family trying to come to grips with the
fact that their loved ones violent death end came the
hands of a baseball bat. It was a routine drive
home from work for forty seven year old Chrissenni Dockery.
That's when he got in some sort of fender bender
with these two women, and they came out with a
(25:23):
baseball bat and hit him over the head and they
killed him. Well, here's a family member. There is a
cousin speaking out yesterday.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
Denial anger. The kids are devastated, you know, devis side himself.
His mom is overwhelmed with reeve.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Yeah. Well, of course, just after one am Sunday on
the belt Parkway nearest Farmers Boulevard, that's where this attack
took place. Police say it started with the fenderbender. They
don't really know what happened after that, but there was
some sort of dispute and that's when the women apparently
took out this bat and hit Dockery over and over
again over the head.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
Car accident should never escalate into somebody who's in dear life.
He wasn't a troublemaker. It's incredibly cruel for someone to
lose their life in this way.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Police sources say the two women fled in a Honda Civic.
They have not released video or photos of the two
wanted women. Family members meanwhile begging for them to come forward,
these women to turn themselves in.
Speaker 7 (26:22):
It's unfair, it's unfair. That you entered a situation and
you got to walk away. He didn't turn yourself in.
If you know something, please say something.

WABC News Time five forty nine. Let's head over to
Central Park where family community members gathering yesterday to remember
the life of that teenager from India who was killed
in a horse carriage accident in Central Park back in June.
To Roll Manch. Mahajan's aunt was one of the speakers
out of vigil yesterday, pushing the city council to act
(28:58):
on a bill that would ban horse carriage rides across
the city.
Speaker 21 (29:02):
Romonch, I call him Google.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
He's our angel who's protecting us, who's not just the
wise for us, but for the animals. Now, since childhood,
he has always loved animals always. City Council Speaker Julie
Mena says she's among the supporters of the bill, but
has yet to set a date for an official vote.
The attorney for the forroal Mancha's family said they will
(29:24):
seek justice through the courts.
Speaker 18 (29:27):
We will be filing a lawsuit against the City of
New York for negligent supervision as well as for failing
to maintain they're the proprietor of this park and this
roadway and this These incidents are foreseeable. Horses have bolted
in the past, people have gotten hurt in the past.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Lots of animal rights activists showing up at this visual
as well yesterday, calling on the City at council to
take action to ban horse carriages in the city.
Speaker 21 (29:50):
The park is too crowded to have fifteen hundred pound
animals that can spook and bolt at any moment. Every
day we are gambling with another there are serious injury
or fatality. So we are calling on the City Council
to expedite. Let's get a vote on the bill. Let's
get this going.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
And one of those City council members who's really been
pushing this bill, Christopher Marte, here's a two year phase
in process.
Speaker 15 (30:13):
We will love to happen as quickly as possible and
not wait for two years to go by to end.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
This horse carriage is here.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Yeah, it's hard to watch the family members yesterday. I mean,
it's just a tragedy. An eighteen year old killed in
that carriage accident back in June five point fifty one.
The five New York City run grocery stores in the
works will offer apparently big discounts for a large number
of essentials. Mayor Mom Donnie, laying this out yesterday, says
(30:43):
all produce, meat, seafood, and twenty additional categories of pantry
staples such as dairy and refrigerated goods, will have prices
that would be thirty percent lower than typical retail prices
at other stores.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
Twenty nineteen, food prices have sored at grocery stores around
the country by roughly thirty percent. Soctor shoppers around the city,
and you'll often hear the same frustration wages have not
kept up.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Now the thirty percent discount is projected to save New
Yorkers about thousand dollars a year on average. The first
grocery store will open by the end of next year.
In the Hunts Points section of the Bronx, the Deputy Mayor,
Julie Sue says, the big discount at city run groceries
is aimed at making groceries more affordable for everyday New York.
You can't afford something as basic as groceries.
Speaker 17 (31:31):
It feels like the city is pushing you out.
Speaker 14 (31:33):
It means making impossible choices eggs or bananas, milk or meat.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Now, of course, some of these small surrounding supermarkets they're
really worried about. This is how it's going to impact them.
We'll put them out of business. The mayor didn't have
a whole lot to say about that.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
The savings will last for the entire month. That means
no weekly fluctuations nor sticker shock at the checkout line,
not for our seniors living on fixed incomes.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
So we won't get to see this again until the
first one up in Hunts Point till later of twenty
twenty seven point fifty two. The mayor, during this rust
conference where he was talking about the grocery stores, was
asked about the families of nine to eleven victims who
have amassed nearly seventeen thousand signatures on a petition that
(32:16):
it's calling for Mayor Mom Donnie to stay away from
the twenty fifth anniversary ceremonies commemorating that devastating tragedy. But
the mayor casually brushed off their grievances during the press
conference yesterday, So he was questioned about attending these events.
He said he was going to proudly honor the families,
the survivors. But these nine to eleven families, they say
(32:38):
they don't want him anywhere near because of some of
the statements he's made some of the people he's hung
out with, either before he was mayor or since he's
become mayor. Well, here's the mayor talking about this yesterday.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
I will proudly honor the families, the survivors, the first
responders forever impacted by that horrific terror attack by standing
alongside them at this year's No. One eleven commemoration.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Now, organizers of this petition accused Mandanie of supporting groups
individuals who've been critical of America, being sympathetic towards radical views.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
We will never forget the solemn day felt by all
of us who call this city home, and frankly by
all of us who call this country home.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Now the person the family member who lost his wife
in the nine to eleven attacks and who was one
of the people who started this pedition. He's going to
be on with SID at eight point thirty this morning.
I'm sure we'll have a lot more to say about that.
WABC News Time five fifty four. A Middle Island, Long
Island woman says she's been left dealing with a lingering
(33:39):
foul odor in her neighborhood that she believes could be
a health hazard.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
Now.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
This was after her next door neighbor passed away inside
his townhouse, and she says she's been unable to get
anyone to address the situation. Marianna Crochy, she lives on
a crystal Rock court. This is in Suffolk County. She
said she it first, you smelled it early on, like
a week ago, and then she asked the police come
(34:05):
and do welfare check, and it ended up her neighbor
had passed away. Well, so okay, She's thought the smell
would go away, but it hasn't since then and she
doesn't know what to do.
Speaker 20 (34:15):
The smell was really terrible, Like we knew right away
something was wrong. I have absolute empathy for the family. However,
now that it's been about a week, and it was
a week prior that he passed away, I know that
there's all sorts of like biomedical waste that needs to
be cleaned up.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
So de Croci says she spent the past week trying
to determine who's responsible for cleaning that unit next door,
but she hasn't found any help. She says her homeowner's
insurance won't cover the cleanup because the affected property is
not her own, so she's asked for assistance from anybody
to come in and fix this because she says it's overwhelming.
(34:49):
It's a little less than it once was, but she says,
still overwhelmed, and no one's.
Speaker 20 (34:52):
Really able to help me with finding out who should
be responsible for cleaning the unit, and I just want
someone to do something about it.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Yeah, I don't blame her. In the meantime, she says
she's keeping her windows open in effort to reduce the
odor in her home and will end with this story
if I can find what he did with it. Oh,
Lebron James, you know he just signed this major deal
eight million dollars two years with the seventy six Ers.
So you think he would move to Philly, but he's
not going to.
Speaker 16 (35:24):
James, soon to enter his twenty fourth season, will continue
to wear number twenty three with the seventy six Ers,
but Brian Winhorst of ESPN says James will not be
living in Philadelphia full time. Rather, he plans to live
in New York City. I commute to work each day
via helicopter. It's been done before. Lebron's former head coach
(35:45):
JJ Reddick commuted from Brooklyn to Philly when he played
for the seventy six Ers. Legend Wilt Chamberlain traveled back
and forth while playing in Philly. He owned a nightclub
in Harlem. James flipping for the Worldwide News.
