Jersey and it's seventy five in raining right outside our
midtown studios.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
This at least on top five and five.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
Hold on to your hat. It's going to be a
wild weather day. Tears we're flowing along the pasaic this
weekend who left one hundred turtles on the side of
the road. In New Jersey, a mugging in the Bronx
was big in so many ways, and the new parking
rules at a local mall have shoppers seeing red.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
All right, let's get into it. Five oh four. Let's
start with the weather. It's going to be kind of
intense out there.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
Gonna see a day of pop up thunderstorm, some heavy rain.
Some locations could pick up three to five inches of
rain today, which is a lot, which means they'll be
flash flooding in some places. Now it depends on where
these storms park themselves over the course of the day,
but just know that all day long you could be
facing some sort of thunderstorm, some heavy downpour. So for sure,

(01:52):
if you're walking out, grab that umbrella. Floodwatch has been
issued for New York City. A flushed watch has been
issued for much of New Jersey as well.

Speaker 5 (02:02):
Some of the more.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
Intense stuff may not come in this afternoon. That really
depends on where you are, maybe in the upper Westchester
and Northern Hudson Valley. Here in the city, it'll start
this morning. In fact, it's raining right now those intense
thunderstorms will come a little bit later this morning, and
of course keep it here. Seventy seven WABC will follow
that storm as the day wears on. Five o five

(02:24):
people gathering along the Passaic River in New Jersey yesterday
to remember those two ten year old children who drowned
last week. More than one hundred mourners coming out yesterday
afternoon to drop pink and blue rose petals into the river.
Many of them did not know the two victims, but
they felt the crush of that tragedy. The mother of

(02:45):
ten year old Mikey Clank Junior was at the vigil.
She did not want to speak out her eleven year
old daughter, Hope, who survived because her younger brother Mikey
pushed her to safety last Wednesday when they fell into
the river before.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
He got swept away. She was there.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
Mikey's body was found that night. It took three days
more until they found the body of the ten year
old girl who was with them, Million Doula, who was
eventually spotted about a half mile down the river, her grandmother.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
She spoke at this funeral yesterday, couldn't be or I
should say this memorial the shore, but family is here.

Speaker 5 (03:26):
I can't really say too much right.

Speaker 6 (03:29):
Now, but thank you, thank you everybody, thank you, thank you,
thank you.

Speaker 5 (03:34):
We appreciate the love.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Million's former teacher, Lisa Barno, she remembered her her as
a great kiss.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
She was precious, she was sweet, she was so eager
to learn.

Speaker 5 (03:46):
She had such a bright smile, and that on the
positive attitude.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
Many who did not know the children at all came
just because they felt the loss. They wanted to weep
with the family, show the family that they're not.

Speaker 5 (03:59):
Alone with the mother right now. Are just devastated because
nobody should ever bury their child, especially so young.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
Yeah, we're waiting to hear about funeral plans for the
two of them. Five oh six, let's go out to
Brooklyn were detectives working to figure out what happened to
a woman was found dead inside an apartment in Burrough
Park over the weekend. Cops responding to calls for a
woman in distress. This was sixty fourth Street between sixteenth
and seventeenth Avenues. Once inside, police found a forty year

(04:29):
old woman unconscious unresponsive in the basement apartment. She was
pronounced dead at the scene. Medical examiner now working to
determine exactly how she died.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
As neighbors spoke.

Speaker 6 (04:40):
Out, he's a very young lady, and you know, it's
it's sad here that someone passed away.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
So investigators have yet to say whether foul play was
involved or if this was officially ruled a homicide. They
have not released the woman's identity, but neighbors said they
did hear commotion out of that apartment once in a while.

Speaker 5 (04:57):
So you said, did you hear the commotion going on?

Speaker 3 (05:00):
No, but sometimes they are very loud at night.

Speaker 7 (05:04):
But even nine o'clock, ten o'cloud, they have music on
and yet a lot of people.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
Yeah, the investigation ongoing. WABC News Time five oh Non
squad to Idaho. Deadly mass shooting at a newly opened
in and out burger there and twin falls over the weekend.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Three deads, seven others injured.

Speaker 8 (05:27):
It's a very chaotic scene. What I can tell you
at this time is this is that we've had a
shooting at the in and out location that has resulted
in fatalities. I don't have the exact number confirmed. We're
still trying to make a notification of the next of ken.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
I mean that was police at the scene, the Idaho
Governor Brad Little asking residents to keep the Twin Falls
community in their prayer.

Speaker 8 (05:48):
Marshaling resources from across the state and literally from across
the nation. State Partners, federal Partners, along with the FBI
and the ages.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
So the gunman was identified as twenty four year old
Chad Williams. Now he died from a self influence did
gunshot wound right near the scene of this shooting. Police
confirming he acted alone, but his motive, well, that's unclear.
This morning, President Trump said Iran is going to be decimated.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
That's what he said over the weekend.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
Right he was at Camp David and he made an
announcement that he was going to wipe out infrastructure. And
then he went online and said the same thing.

Speaker 7 (06:25):
Because they do lie and they do misrepresent.

Speaker 6 (06:29):
Well.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
The other day, the five missiles were shot. We knocked
him down, but we were in the.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
Midst of a negotiations, so everybody was on hold for
some big attack in Iran.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
It did not happen.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
The President canceling that pending attack against Tehran. Over the weekend,
he says parameters were reached in a deal to end
the war. News Nations Tom Dempsey has the latest details.

Speaker 9 (06:48):
President Trump made this announcement overnight, saying that he has
ordered the US military to halt all strikes and attacks
against Iran in hopes that a peace deal can be
reached soon. He made this announcements opposed to truth Social
where he wrote, quote, we have just been asked by
Iran and other Middle Eastern countries to hold off any attack,
and that the perimeters of a deal have been agreed to.

(07:09):
This would include the immediate, complete and total opening of
the horror moves straight and an end to Iran's nuclear thread.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
Now, the President says the pause and fighting is contingent
upon Iran and the US reaching a deal quickly. Meanwhile,
US embassies in the Middle East were told to remain
vigilant all weekend ahead of what they thought would be
some strikes, and they say they're still being told to
be careful. Jigudi Dave has more on.

Speaker 10 (07:34):
That the United States is telling American citizens in the
Middle East to be prepared for unforeseen escalation.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
Now, none of that happened, but they're told just to
make sure watch out because anything could happen. The Iran
war has been also playing on the President's approval numbers,
which are down in the thirties. Larry Sabato, he's the
director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia,
says the president can turn the numbers around before the midterms.

Speaker 6 (08:03):
Well now, just within two and a half days, three
outstanding surveys showed him at thirty two percent job approval,
thirty three percent job approval, and thirty four percent job approval.
That is terrible, and if he falls into the twenties,
it's going to be much worse, not just for him
but for his party. And of course we're only a

(08:25):
few months away from the election now.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
Sabato normally says that that spells trouble for whoever's in
the White House, but he says there's still time to
turn it all around.

Speaker 6 (08:34):
If he could end that war or cut it back
very substantially so that it's not in the news constantly
and we're not having more deaths of American soldiers or
more to the point, injury, serious brain injuries, which we
have had. If he can push gas prices down to

(08:55):
even vaguely close to the two dollars and ninety eight
cents a gallon that gas prices were at on the
day the war started. Then I think he could turn
it around.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
And the president, no doubt, we'll talk about immigration. On
the campaign trail ahead of the midterms, he was pointing
to that migrant surge in Spain as a warning about
the future of unless immigration policy.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
Here, he says, the.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
Situation in Spain could happen in the US if Democrats
regained power come the midterms.

Speaker 11 (09:22):
You know, I saw saying yesterday and I watched the
cantest serve that took place.

Speaker 5 (09:28):
It looks like an invasion of a guntect.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
Yeah, tens of thousands of migrants crossed into Spain from
Morocco just in a single day. The Prime Minister there,
Pedro Sanchez, has put the blame on human smuggling networks
for the crisis. Meanwhile, the Trump administration's cracked down on
the illegal immigration here is again focusing on the nation's airports.
Correspondent Ali Bradley has more.

Speaker 12 (09:51):
The clearest example is that the airports where DHS is
saying that ICE officers are now making arrest of people
that the administration and says are in the country illegally,
including those with visa overstays. DHS meantime, says it has
ended what it calls a Biden error policy that allowed
illegal immigrants to freely travel domestically, adding that moving forward,

(10:14):
the only flight they want to see those here illegally
taking is one out of the country.

Speaker 5 (10:18):
Now.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
In addition to sending ice into airports, the White House
is also changing how it's handling some cases of migrants
seeking asylum. Did you see the back and forth between
Dana Bash on CNN and Health and Human Services Secretary
Robert F.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
Kennedy Junior.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
He says that parents should get their children vaccinated from measles.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
MEAs vaccine is effective.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
It stops me in about ninety seven percent of the cases.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Well, people should get.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
Vaccinated, Dana Bush Dana Basher say pushing back hard against
Robert F. Kennedy Junior as comments come. As measle cases
have grown in the US, A John Hopkins University tracker
for health data found there were nearly twenty three hundred
confirm cases in the US as of last month. That
passes the amount of cases recorded in all of twenty
twenty five.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Parents should get their children vacsin ate it for.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
Me, Yeah, there's been just a sort of confusing messaging
coming from him, and we're gonna hear from Robert F.
Kennedy Junior nine to forty five this morning, Sit and
Friends in the Morning. Make sure you're here to hear
the comments about the back and forth.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
There was a little bit of fight.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
Between him and Dana Bash over the weekend, and a
whole lot more coming up nine to forty five on
Sit and Friends in the Morning.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Five point fifteen.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
Now, let's head over to the seventy seven w ABC
Sports desk.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
Good more than happy Monday, Justin Eleik.

Speaker 11 (11:36):
Good morning, Happy Monday too. You know him all laid in.
Start here in Chicago. Jose caballerro line a two run homer,
Garrett cole pitched into the sixth inning, and the Yankees
hung on to tap the Cubs two to one. New
York got three and a half scoreless innings from relievers
Brin hedgerk, Paul Blackburn and David Bednar to take two
of three at Riley Field. Cole yelowed one to run

(11:57):

(12:19):
The Yankees acquired in fielder Luis Garcia Junior from the
Washington Nationals in exchange for four right handed pitchers ahead
of today's trade deadline.

Speaker 5 (12:26):
At six pm Eastern time.

Speaker 11 (12:28):
The Nationals received Gobanni Cruiz, Jake Bird, Ben Grable, and
Jack Kebert in the deal. Garcia, who is under club
control through next season against the Yankees scuffling offense, say
much needed jolt as it navigates August without Aaron Judge,
Cody Belden, Jor and John Carlos Stanton, The twenty six
year old from the dr leads to the National League
and slugging percentage and is batting two eighty three with

(12:49):
a career high twenty three homers, a good bat to
insert right into that lineup for the Yankees. Ben Rice,
an MVP candidate, is the only active player on the
Yankees roster with better outputs in those categories. So big
pick up there yesterday for the Yankees and out in
Queens and Mets got blanked nothing by the Marlins in
the finale of a four game set against Miami, shortly

(13:10):
after New York traded opening day starter Freddy Parolta to
Tampa Bay. The Mets dropped the final three games in
the series over the weekend to boot relievers Brooks Roali. Look,
we were in a watchcar, Brazzaban each through a hit
list inning after spot started Robert Stock when.

That is for sports. Noah Man, I'm justin Alloo on
seventy seven.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
WABC, WABC News Time.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
Font nineteen Senator John Kennedy says he's unsure if President
Trump really believes his claim that Vandal's damage to the
Lincoln Memorial reflecting pull the Louisiana Republican making the statement
on the NBC's Meet the Press yesterday.

Speaker 13 (13:55):
Let me start with the president. President says it was
caused by vandals. Don't know whether he really believes that,
or it's part of his political messaging, or he's just
thinking out loud.

Speaker 4 (14:06):
It comes as the President appeared really unhappy about the
Justice Department's decision to drop charges against a former olympian
accused of damaging DC's reflecting pull and a Saturday truth
posts social the President wrote, I disagree one hundred percent
with Janeine Pierro, the US District Attorney of Columbia, on
the reflecting pool. The President went on to say that

(14:28):
the case was obviously vandalism and that major damage was done.
But Senator John Kennedy says he doesn't think so.

Speaker 13 (14:35):
He exists loudly and he grows anxious when he has
an unexpressed fault. I'm not saying he doesn't really believe it.
I just don't know.

Speaker 4 (14:45):
WABC News Time five twenty. This will be a bigger
story in the next couple hours. But a huge piece
of American space junk is about to slam into the Moon,
which just seems like something that's either frightening it very cool.
At the same time, astronomer Bill Gray says, the upper
stage of the discarded Falcon nine rockets gonna collide with

(15:08):
the Moon. He thinks that a speed of fifty four
hundred miles per hour and likely going to happen in
the early morning of today's the third so August with Wednesday.
He expects the collision to vape arrived the rocket, cause
a flash of light, and create a fresh crater on
the lunar surface near the Einstein cred that's on the

(15:30):
western edge of the visible moon. So again, this is
all going to take place early hours of Wednesday morning.
Of course, cameras all trained to see what we can
see of this collision. Fifty four hundred miles an hour,
that's awfully fast. Five point twenty one. That's head over
to Washington where strong winds in central eastern part of
that state causing these major wildfires just to explode over

(15:51):
the weekend. Washington National Guard Major General Gent Welsh says
it's the worst he's ever seen in his life.

Speaker 14 (15:59):
You've got fires burned in towns, You've got level three
evacuations like I haven't seen before. So this is a
very dangerous and very complex series of events. That are
impacting Washington, especially on the eastern Washington side.

Speaker 8 (16:12):
Right.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
Yeah, so multiple homes have burned in Spokane area. Four
thousand homes there are under threat.

Speaker 6 (16:19):
Literally driving through their neighborhood and showing the video of
home after home after home that's in flame.

Speaker 5 (16:23):
So it's a heartbreaking situation.

Speaker 4 (16:25):
And the frightening part about this is you need to
know when to get out of the way, and the
people who are the ones in charge of telling you
when to get out of the way, they hope you'll
leave when you get that warm.

Speaker 9 (16:36):
These wildfires can move incredibly fast and they are deadly,
so please heed those evacuation orders.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
Now this is as of Saturday night and we didn't
get an update, but at least three thousand acres have burned.
No doubt that number is higher. Now five point twenty two.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris thinks a bigger Supreme Court
might just be what the US needs.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
We need to.

Speaker 4 (17:01):
Revisit the point of expanding the court to thirteen justices
like we have thirteen district court now. The one time
Democratic presidential nominee made the remark. She was speaking at
the National Urban League Conference in Nashville.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
Over the weekend.

Speaker 10 (17:17):
I just do want to stress twenty eight will not
matter if we don't win twenty six.

Speaker 7 (17:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (17:22):
So Harris pressed during the event about our plans for
the future, whether she might make another run for the
White House. She insists that she's fully and sincerely focused
on the upcoming midterms and has not made a decision
about twenty twenty eight. Whoever, she did say she is
thinking about it.

Speaker 15 (17:37):
You know.

Speaker 4 (17:37):
Over the weekend, we hit the six month mark and
the missing person's case of Savannah Guthrie's mom Nancy. NBC
Today's Show hosts Savannah Guthrie or family begging for help
six months after Nancy disappeared from her southern Arizona home,
and a social media post over the weekend, Guthrie wrote
that our hearts are in ruins, adding that the family

(17:58):
spends every week waking moment thinking of her, longing for her,
and looking for their mother.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
I mean, that's not a surprising.

Speaker 4 (18:06):
While the Pima County Sheriff Chris Nano says the case
remains active half a year on.

Speaker 16 (18:12):
Done a lot of work, but we still have more
and there's not justin DNA, where labs across the country
are working together, but in forensics analysis of thousands and
thousands of videos, photos.

Speaker 4 (18:27):
It is amazing with so many people working on this case,
that there's just no sign of her. The latest post
from Savannah Guthrie reiterates a reward over one million dollars
is still available, but also notes the family wants to
give their mom the dignity of a proper goodbye. Investigators
releasing the full ransom note over the weekend and a
follow up letter they believe may hold clues that somewhat

(18:48):
familiar with the alleged kidnappers may recognize. Either way, the
family just begging me for any information.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Down to Texas.

Speaker 4 (18:56):
At five point twenty four, former reality TV and adult
film star Farah Abram announcing over the weekend that she's
running for city council in Austin, Texas.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
Here she made some of the announcement on social media.

Speaker 12 (19:09):
No one's really working, Nathan's getting accomplished. I think I
could do probably more in the first month of working
than they did in two years of having the job.

Speaker 4 (19:18):
Now. Abraham rose to fame if you're not familiar with
her as part of the MTV shows Sixteen and Pregnant
and Teen Mom The now thirty five year old claims
to be living on Austin's southwest side. Some people say,
though she doesn't have residency, I guess they'll have to
have sort that all out. Five point twenty five, a
three hundred and fifty pound Minnesota science teacher has learned

(19:38):
his fate after he stood on students to teach them
a lesson. Forty nine year old Jason Rodgers was ordered
to surrender his teaching license dating back to a February
twenty twenty five incident in which he stood on a
student who made light of a lockdown drell that was
going on. The bizarre punishment left that student hobbl According

(20:00):
to court documents, Rogers won't have to go to jail,
but does have to write letters of apology to his victims.
WABC News Time five twenty five. Researchers at the University
of Delaware in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are
tagging blue and Maco sharks with sensors now to collect

(20:21):
vital information about storm conditions ahead of the hurricane season
was really underway in the Atlantic Ocean.

Speaker 15 (20:27):
Needs something that kind of goes up and down through
the water columns. To see how much sheet there is
in that water column. That we basically can put a
specialized electronic tag that goes on their sins and it
collects all the kinds of data we need.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
That's pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (20:39):
Marine ecologist Aaron Carlisle there says real time information about
ocean temperature in the direction of currents from these sharks
helps Noah predict a trajectory and the power of Atlantic hurricane.

Speaker 15 (20:51):
Whether stations can access those data in real time and
so are near real time because these sharky data to
become available almost instantaneously once the shark transmits them.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
And he says the sharks are wide ranging mobile predators,
allowing scientists to observe a much larger part of the ocean.
Because they're just all over the ocean.

Speaker 15 (21:08):
You understand how strong a hurricane, how intense it's going
to be, potentially like maybe what direction is maybe going
to go. But it just makes you able to make
much better predictions about the impact and the hurricane dynamics
of something that's roaring towards the coast.

Speaker 4 (21:20):
And the best part of this is the tag sharks
can gather this information and a whole lot more for free,
which is a good thing.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
It's the seventy seven WABC News Hour, Talking the news
with Noah Laden, all the news you need to know
with Joe Nolan, Traffic, justin Elik, Sports and now.

Speaker 3 (21:41):

WABC News Time five forty one NYPD asking for the
public's help and identifying three men wanted in connection with
a really violent home invasion in the High Bridge section

(22:32):
of the Bronx. They broke into this woman's home. This
was at night ten to fifteen at night. They taped
her up, they blindfolded her, they bound her hands with
feet and duct tape, and then they stall ready for
this three hundred and forty three thousand dollars worth of jewelry, cash, perfumes,

(22:53):
a cell phone before running off.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
So yet the sense they.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
Must have known this person had a lot of money, right,
maybe it's somebody she knew. Does seem as random that
they would break into this house and then walk off
at three hundred and forty three thousand dollars worth of
cash and jewelry.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
Here's a neighbor who heard about this nip boy get tabasanodlie.

Speaker 5 (23:11):

If I'm not expecting anyone, I don't open my door

Speaker 4 (23:19):
All right, Well, the woman had multiple injuries throughout her body.

signed to them. The Consul General of Israel here in
New York. He's calling on Mayor Mamdani to change his
anti Israel rhetoric before Prime Minister bb Netunaho visits the

(23:40):
city in September for the United Nations General Assembly. In
an interview with Marsha Karamer over the weekend ofir Akinos,
he discussed the mayor's position on Israel. Now, I'm sure
you've been following the story. The mayor has called for
the arrest of bb Nettanyahu for war crimes, and even
knowing that he can't really have him arrested, so a

(24:00):
fear acunas responding to that, over the weekend.

Speaker 7 (24:03):
The mayor of the City of New York and what
appears to be his obsession, were trying to arrest the
Prime Minister of Aeriel Bib Nataniello.

Speaker 17 (24:10):
Yes, I think that we are in awful times to
the Jewish community in New York under this mayor. As
are on mum Dani.

Speaker 7 (24:18):
So what do the ones that have when he constantly
talks about the fact that he wants to arrest a
prime minister even though he knows he doesn't have the
power to do it.

Speaker 17 (24:27):
It's nonsense. I'm sorry to use these words because the
mayor knew it. Nobody actually in the United States of America.
You like Israel. America, United States like Israel. We are
not part of the international court.

Speaker 4 (24:44):
Now Acunas took it a step further. He called the
mayor's threat nonsense. He says that the mayor needs to
change his tune, but he also says something much bigger
than that.

Speaker 17 (24:54):
The Mayor of New York is anti Semi. He is
he hates you. He can say whatever he wants with
his fake smile. He's saying, I will you know, ensure
the security of the Jewish community in How will you
do it if you are saying that Israel? Israel is
responsible for a genocide in other this is a disgusting lie.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
Yeah, big, big words from one of the higher officials
in the Israeli government.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
Five point forty four.

Speaker 4 (25:23):
The NYPD using drones this weekend for shark patrols along
all city beaches. Detective Orge Bravo says this puts some
beachgoers at ease. We were watching this is pretty cool
how they do this now. They've done this in the past,
but they had more of them out there over the weekend.

Speaker 18 (25:39):
I know, if I have my kids in the water
and there's a drone above my kid's head, I would
be confident that they can just spot a shark, and
I wouldn't want to know if there's a shark near them.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
Yeah, So the drones will help spot sharks and give
lifeguards a heads up before they get too close to swimmers.

Speaker 18 (25:52):
So flotation device that can hold up to two adults,
and that says in precious time for the life to
come out and help them.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
Yeah, and you know, there were sixteen sharkscitings off Rockaway
Beach just over a few days last month.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
That's part of the reason these drones are back up
in the air.

Speaker 4 (26:06):
The drones also, they always have this really cool floating
device on them, so if a swimmer is in distress
and lifeguards can't get out there fast enough, it'll drop
something to swimmers so they're able to hold on to
that until lifeguards get out there and can bring them
to shore. In a moment, we'll head up to the
Bronx where they are mourning one of the actors from

(26:27):
the Sopranos who passed away over the weekend.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
We'll get to that story in just a moment, But.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
First five point forty five, let's head over to the
seventy seven WABC Sports desk and here's.

Speaker 11 (26:36):
Justin Ella I think you know on the Leyden Sports
sponsored by Pete Morgan Appilis foll Let's go to Pilos
Boilers dot com to find a dealing to you.

Speaker 5 (26:43):
Pilos Fowler's the World's best build. The Boiler's out in
Chicago is at.

Speaker 11 (26:47):
Caberra line of two run Homer Garrett Cole pitched into
the sixth inning and the Yankees hung on to top
the Cubs a two to one. Got three and a
half scoreless innings from ourlievers Hendrick, Flackburn and Bednar to
take two of three at Wrigley Field. Out next for
the Yankee sitting two and a half games vack of
Tampa for first place in the division. Kam Schlittler starts
against Cardinals, writing Michael McGreevy in the opener of a
three game series, with the Yankees returning home against sand

(27:09):
Louis first pitch from the Bronx to schedule for seven
o five pm. Yankees did acquire infielder Luis Garcia Junior
from the Washington Nationals in exchange for four right handed
pitchers ahead of today's trade deadline at six pm. The
Nationals received Giovanni Cruz, Jake Kird, Ben Grable, and Jack
Kevert in the deal. Garcia, who is under club control
through next season, gives a Yankees scuffling offense a much

(27:30):
needed jolt as it navigates August without Judge, Bellinger and Stanton.
The twenty six year old is leading the National League
in slugging percentage and batting two eighty three with the
career high twenty three homers. So big boost there, I
should say, coming in for the Yankees offense.

Speaker 4 (27:46):
Yeah, can you explain this Dodger trade that happened over
the weekend?

Speaker 3 (27:51):
And why did the Detroit Tigers?

Speaker 4 (27:54):
Is Detroit Tigers giving up maybe the second best pitcher
in baseball to the Dodgers, who's the last team needs though?

Speaker 11 (28:00):
Yeah, no, I can't explain it, but let me do
the best possible job that I can. They have a
very good farm system, so when you see the package
that they dealt to the Tigers, the Dodgers, that is,
you know, their seventh best prospect is probably as good
as you know, for example, the Yankees second or third
best prospect. So you know, when you're looking at other

(28:23):
teams that were in this sweep stakes, I mean you know,
for me, I'm looking at the Tampa Bay Rays and
why the heck they didn't put forth a package like
this for the Dodgers because they have almost just as
good of a farm system as LA and they could
have mustered together a group of guys that could have
brought Schooble to Tampa Bay. And that's a first place
ball club in the American League. And the American League,

(28:45):
as almost everybody knows, this season is much much, much
worse than the National League in terms of, you know,
being able to find a path to at the Fall Classic.

Speaker 5 (28:56):
You're an American League ball club.

Speaker 11 (28:57):
So the Tampa Bay Rays, if they could have brought
school in to really put themselves, you know, far and
away above you know, most American League ball club stands
the Yankees here and but yeah, I mean the Dodgers.
They have the best farm system in baseball as as
well as the highest payroll in baseball. And they made
both of those things known over the weekend and coming

(29:19):
in and getting in schoobl But again, you know, you've
got a lockout coming, and I think for the league,
this tells the league that you know, they're not gonna
have baseball for the next couple of years, because if
you bring in a guy like schoobl why would the
Dodgers extend a guy like school if they know that
they're going to be having.

Speaker 5 (29:33):
A lockout in the next couple of seasons.

Speaker 11 (29:35):
So this is strictly a rent to you know, rent
a cy Young arm for the rest of the year.
If you're the Dodgers and you get a great, great,
great pitcher Intoreik School and probably another World Series championship to.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
Boots, probably I would say it's almost a slam Dug
at this point.

Speaker 5 (29:48):
Yeah, it could be.

Speaker 11 (29:48):
I mean, you know, anything can happen in baseball, and
you never know. But yeah, certainly with the starting pitchers
they're going to be trotting out there in September and October,
it's going to be very, very very difficult to beat
them in a five or seven game series. So that's
where we're at in the game of baseball, right And
now that is your sports nome sponsor by morgan A
Pilos Polos. Goapillosporlos dot com to find a dealer at

(30:09):
you Pilos Polos, the world's pest Polers. I'm Justin Ellick
on seventy seven WBCA.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
WABC News Time five point fifty The Bronx Morning. Vincent Pastor,
the veteran actor best known for playing Tony Soprano's best
friend turned FBI in foreman on HBO's The Sopranos. Pastor
died at eighty years old at his City Island home
on Saturday. Tributes pouring in from friends and community members

(30:34):
who remembered his local ties to parts of the Bronx.
He had grown up in the Bronx. Well, no, I
guess he was born and spent his first years in
the Bronx and then moved up to White Planes, but
he was back there all the time because he had
a house there, and he was known at a lot
of the pastry shops and the Italian delis, which is

(30:55):
my kind of guy, and so they knew him well.
In fact, the owner of Gene, his pastry shop in
the Bronx and Bronx little Italy section. He's grieving the
loss of Pastor.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
It's just.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
It's top ring.

Speaker 15 (31:13):
He never forgot his roots, never did, and he never
forgot his friends.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
Pastor was known for roles in drama centered around organized crime,
with City Island neighbors saying he brought authenticity to those
performances and these were people just all walking around the
neighborhoods that he was always incredibly friends.

Speaker 11 (31:36):
Did you see a big guy walking in he's with
the big giving He's good.

Speaker 5 (31:41):
We got you.

Speaker 14 (31:43):
I think he his character, they were all They all
portrayed themselves with what you would expect to be from
that type of show.

Speaker 4 (31:53):
And yeah, but back to the food that Pastore loved.
He went to Mike's Delhi on Arthur Avenue all the
time he was known there. He loved his Italian Canoli's
because people along Arthur Avenue he used to sell him canol.

Speaker 5 (32:07):
Seems like a lot of Italians, you know what I mean?
You give him whatever, cheese whatever. It cured me the guy.
You know, you'll be happy with can They say, leave
the nun thing to Canoly.

Speaker 4 (32:17):
It took many and I said, it really is rest
in peace food.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (32:23):
So Pastor was found dead in his home, but so
far beliefs do not think it was anything suspicious.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
He was eighty years old. Over to New Jersey where.

Speaker 4 (32:32):
Over the weekend the skip the stuff a law took
effect and you might be saying, well, what's that all about. Well,
if you order in food now you have to specifically
ask the either the app or the restaurant that you're
calling for food delivering food to include plastic utensils, napkins, straws,

(32:52):
and condiments. If you don't, they won't include them, which
to me sounds incredibly annoying. Some customers like me say, well,
you know, I don't remember to do that, but now
you got it.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
I think it's do it. If you're ordering something that
needs a utensil, they should automatically give it to you.
Why do you have to ask for it now?

Speaker 4 (33:08):
It was lawmakers who push for this new rule. They
think it'll reduce plastic and other waste that contributes to
pollution and flooding, and that it could save some businesses money,
which no doubt it will. In fact, the owner of
Why He's a Pizza in Ridgefield Park says he expects
the new law will bring some benefits for him.

Speaker 5 (33:26):
Oh for sure, I think it's going to help out
a lot.

Speaker 18 (33:27):
But the gold containers is very expensive right now, like
the containers for the pasta.

Speaker 17 (33:31):
Or the sal and even though the brown bags are
very expensive to right now, because the price is so
expensive right now.

Speaker 5 (33:36):
So we're just trying to cut down a little bit
as much as we can.

Speaker 4 (33:38):
Now, he makes a good point that people ordering delivery
to home don't need extra packets or uten So I
think there's a good argument there. But if you know
you're at work or whatever, you don't have to remember
to ask them to include the utensils. But now you do,
or these utensils and condiments won't come with your food.

Speaker 5 (33:55):
That's fine.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
That seems fine to me. That's not a big it's
not a big task. Oea very simple So I don't
say any problem. Yeah, okay, they don't have a problem
with it.

Speaker 4 (34:02):
Businesses that violate the first the law first face a warning,
then a one hundred dollar fine before it climbs to
two hundred and fifty dollars. While we're in New Jersey,
just a strange mystery. More than one hundred box turtles
that are not native to the Garden State turned up
along a Cranford road at the end of last week,

(34:22):
Neighbors scrambling to rescue them. Investigators are examining whether they
were dumped there as part of some sort of illegal
wildlife trade. The unusual site was first reported along a
stretch near the Raretin River, and you had kids out
over the weekend who were searching for these turtles because
they were just dumped there and now they're all over

(34:42):
the place looking for them to save them or help
them get near a source of water.

Speaker 9 (34:48):
I found them in the bushes over there, like those
Jerka and their other ones.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
There are other ones walking like across here.

Speaker 6 (34:55):
I think it's just sad because I don't really know
if they're really supposed.

Speaker 3 (34:59):
To be here.

Speaker 4 (35:00):
You know, you have people who just love turtles, and
so they heard about this. These two sisters, they showed
up along the raretant over the weekend too to see
if they could collect the turtles and bring them back home.

Speaker 10 (35:10):
My sister and I just have a like a love
for nature, so we just really wanted to come out
and see if we could rescue any So we just
found them kind of hidden behind the guardrail down a
little bit further down the river. It seems like these
three were stuck behind the guardrail, and I think that's
why we likely found them there.

Speaker 4 (35:26):
So far, no sign of who dumped them There's the
kids were out all week in, you know, playing with
the turtles, helping them.

Speaker 7 (35:33):
Me and her we both love turtles and it's like
just so sad to see them like endangered.

Speaker 8 (35:40):
And like not in their home.

Speaker 4 (35:41):
Yeah all right, again no clue of who put them there,
and we'll end with a story. In New Jersey as well,
a new parking option is turning into a shopping debate
at the Willowbrook Mall in Wayne. The parking spots that
are closest to the mall entrances now cost you money.

Speaker 3 (35:58):
You got to pay for them.

Speaker 4 (35:59):
Parking in the spots will cost shoppers two dollars forty
five cents for the first hour two hours per any
hour after that, and some shoppers, well, some shoppers are
okay with that because it gets them closer to the mall.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
We're both lazy and we're both hungry.

Speaker 10 (36:14):
How much did you pat core forty five for two hours?

Speaker 6 (36:17):
Now?

Speaker 4 (36:17):
According to the signs posted in the parking lot, ten
percent of Willowbrook malls and net prow seats from each
preferred paid parking payment will be notated to a local charity.
But others say, come on, you know it should be
first come, first served. They shouldn't charge people for a
parking spot, especially when you're going into a mall to
spend money.

Speaker 5 (36:35):
That's why parking for the economy.

Speaker 3 (36:37):
You want people to pay ex shyts that it's ridiculous.

Speaker 14 (36:40):
If I should have to pay to park in I'm
going to use all the services in this mall, and
they want me to pay more to park there. It's
ridiculous to pay for a parking spot just seems very odd.
It's not like I'm getting my quarter back when I
put the quarter in the cart.

Speaker 6 (36:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (36:52):
All right, so there were people who are willing to pay.
Some shoppers say maybe they should just make it seasonal,
like charge people for the those premium spots at Christmas
time when people are carton all on a whole bunch
of backs.

Speaker 12 (37:05):
I feel like it'll probably help us out during the
holiday season, but.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
Like it should just be for the holiday season.

Speaker 12 (37:13):
As for residents, I feel like if they're gonna keep
it at least for the holiday, like lower the price
just a little bit.

Speaker 3 (37:19):
Yeah, anyway they can make a boo me.

Speaker 6 (37:21):
Now.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
It's like that whole idea of two dollars here, two
dollars there. You don't notice, but it does that up.
