Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back and thanks for being with us today. Something
great has happened, one of the best things ever to
happen to the Republican Party, just when approval numbers were
starting to go down a little bit. The return of
Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Social Security is more than the government program. It's a
sacred promise. We made. As a sacred promise, seventy three
million Americans received Social Security.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
That's true. That last part was true. They're not going
to cut Social Security. They're cutting the glut of at
the Social Security Office. That's what they're doing. All of
the people that don't belong there, all the people that
don't show up, all of the people that Joe Biden
hired for Social Security to hide the bed unemployment numbers,
(00:52):
to keep the jobs coming in. He hired so many
people for the federal government, and they're all being cut
back right now by Doge. But this is the best
thing to happen to the Republican Party because we are
now reminded of how bad things are. So Welcome back
to the stage, Joe Biden. We are glad to have you.
(01:16):
And the retrial of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein starts in
Manhattan with new accusers, and one of them, the Weinstein people,
claim that the sex was consensual. Well guess what, her
attorney disagrees.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
This was not consensual.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
This was sexual assault.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Live force jury selections started yesterday, it will continue today.
And Donald Trump apparently was dead serious when he said
he wanted to send violent American born criminals to prison
in El Salvador.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
I call them homegrown criminals, the ones that grew up
and something went wrong and they hit people over the
head with a baseball bat. We have and push people
into subways just before the train gets there, like you
see happening. Sometimes we are looking into it and we
want to do it.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
And Letitia James, the Attorney General for New York, the
one that went after Donald Trump for overvaluing his properties,
which isn't really a crime. There was no victim to that.
But she should listen to her own words.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
The President of these United States is not above the law.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yep, that's true, and neither is the Attorney General of
New York. The US Federal Housing Finance Agency has sent
a criminal referral to the Justice Department alleging that New
York Attorney General Letitia James committed mortgage fraud and the
details are damning. She allegedly used false information not once,
(02:56):
but twice to obtain real estate. Eight and finally, well,
the world lost a game show legend. Bwink Martindale, the
man whose name became synonymous with a great game show host.
He was the epitome of a game show host. He
is now dead at the age of ninety one. But
(03:19):
what a great and successful life. And with that, let's
get the Vicky Palladino New York City Council members. She
represents District nineteen of Northeast Queens. And I'm gonna start
Vicky with the question I always seem to be wondering,
what is wrong with the city council. This is re ridiculous.
This is unbelievable that they're going up against that, they're
(03:43):
slapping Ice and the Adams administration with a lawsuit over Ice.
Returning to Rikers Island, where do they want They want
the criminals back out on the street. Is that what
they want? They want them to be freed and be
back in the community.
Speaker 7 (04:00):
Morning, Larry, you warning everybody, Yes, it's you. Actually just
I'm cracking up because as I as you introduced me,
I'm laughing because it is that funny. I mean, it
is pathetic when every when, every time you hear them
talk about public safety and you hear them stand on
how they are, you know, going at war with our
(04:23):
with our president and the Trump administration and to protect
the rights and safety of all New Yorkers against the
attacks of Donald J. Trump. Come on, give me a break. Okay,
We've got real real issues here with them doing this.
I tell you, I was shot. I was surprised. Well,
just when you're think you they can't surprise you anymore,
(04:44):
they do. So now this is made very very clear,
you know, since Mayor Adams took on Randy Mastro as
his first deputy Mayor, Randy is to say brilliant is
an understatement and needs to be underscored several times with
an exclamation point. They will go to battle. They will
(05:07):
lose the battle because they've got every right to be there.
Let's remember something about our sanctuary city laws and how
they all started. You know, sanctuary I'm going to read
a little bit. Sanctuary city laws were originally laws to
as an enforcement tool to help the local cops of
our crimes by encouraging witnesses to come forward without being
(05:31):
afraid of their immigration status. Well that was you know.
That was then in twenty sixteen when they redid the
sanctuary city laws, it was they expanded that to remove
ICE from our gail system. However, it remained legal for
(05:54):
the mayor to authorize, under executive authority cooperation with ICE
for the sake of law enforcement or on national security.
So that means that gang members, criminals, terrorists and legally
eligible are legally eligible under our sanctuary city laws for
(06:15):
the NYPD or Corrections to turn them over for deportations. Okay,
So now the mayor has used this authority, you know,
and to authorize ICE to enter rikers, you know, to
pursue immigrants, all our gangs. So this has been a
real joke and the whole thing is absolutely ridiculous because
(06:40):
you just can't this is this is just belowney what
she's doing. You cannot do this. And then she has
her whole crew behind her. You know, last week before
the stated meeting, you know, you had a lessis sevillists,
all these haters, and like you said, very very very
from the beginning, this is all about actually breaking the
(07:04):
sanctuary city policy by deep pointing and getting rid of
the dangerous and the most vile of our criminals, and
yet they don't want to do that. Wrap your head
around it, everybody, try to wrap your head around it.
Ill insanity.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, let's be clear and exactly what they're saying now,
because Tom Homan has been pushing for this all across
the country for a long long time. All he's saying is,
we're going to go after these people anyway. We'd rather
do it, no fuss, no mess. You hand them over
to us already cuffed, will take them into custody that way,
we don't have to have a shootout in the communities.
(07:42):
We're going to get them anyway. But now they're going
to be in the communities and we have to send
a massive amount of manpower to arrest them. So they're
going to get arrested no matter what. And so correct.
That's why it's insane, VICKI, That's why it makes no
sense at all.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
This could be, like you said, cut and dry. They
get arrested, they're taken to rikers Homans guys go in
and they remove them and they take them where they
need to go. I mean, simple, very very very simple.
Why do they want Well, you see The issue is
they feel like they are going to be knocking down
(08:20):
doors of innocent people. Now that one guy that got
transferred last week to El Salvador, and it seems to
be tying up the news. Now one guy, one person
and an MS thirteen gang member, though he doesn't have
any tattoos. They're using him as the post a child. Okay,
(08:42):
he's the post of child for what Trump is doing
wrong and what Homan is doing as far as knocking
down and taking an innocent father away from his children.
This is not the way it's going everybody. Okay, these
are lethal, lethal people, These people who sit human beings
on fire and subways. These people have got to go.
(09:06):
Holman's got a handle on it. Let's keep it clean,
let's get them out. My council seems to think that
this is an invasion of our undocumented people here in
the city. That's not what's happening. Okay. If you are
an undocumented person, a law of body person, though you
are here illegally, but you are not committing any crimes,
(09:30):
they are not coming after you. They are coming after
the people that don't make us feel safe yet. In
her opening statement, she says that this is once again
that the City Council is going to stand firm to
protect the rights and safety of all New Yorkers against
the Trump administration. Well, you know what, Speaker Adams, you got.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
It backwards and she can never be married, especially because
of that. Vicki Palladino, New York City Council represents District
now nineteen of Northeast Queens. Thank you so much, all,
very well said. Appreciate you being on.
Speaker 8 (10:05):
Thank you, darling.
Speaker 7 (10:06):
I have a happy holiday.
Speaker 8 (10:07):
Okay, you too.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Is sports commentator Steven A. Smith running for president or isn't.
He's got to make up his mind. He's starting to
sound a lot like another non politician who ran for president.
Here for yourself. Plus, we have tickets to see the
Doobie Brothers. Stay with us. So I assume everybody knows
who Steven A. Smith is? Right? Would you agree that
(10:29):
most people, even people that don't follow sports, would know
who Stephen A. Smith is.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
I think the name has a lot of familiarity.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
To people, and he's been branching out recently a lot. Yeah,
in his podcast, he does a lot of interviews. As
a matter of fact, Andrew Cuomo, it was one of
the first interviews he did was with Stephen A. Smith
on the Stephen A. Smith Podcast. He's been delving into
politics a lot, and a lot of people recently have
(10:56):
started asking him, and I don't think this just came
up organically. A lot of people have been asking him
if he's going to run for president, and he's always
very flirtatious about it, saying that a lot of people
are asking me to run. My pastor says I would
be great. My neighbors say I would be great, that
I should run, a lot of people are telling me
(11:19):
I should run, But I'm not interested in it. I
don't like that game. I've heard him time and time
and time again say exactly that. Recently, well, just Sunday,
he was on this week the ABC Sunday morning show
Big Time, That's Big Time, and the topic came up,
(11:42):
and this is the first time he sounded like he
really may do this. I'm not a politician.
Speaker 9 (11:50):
I've never had a desire to be a politician. I
would hope somebody else would step up that's more qualified
than me, But if it has to come down to me,
it is something I would consider. Yes, I would, because
I don't mind have thought of tussling with these folks
at all on the left for the right. All of
them discussed me, to be quite honest with you, All of.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Them discussed me, to be quite honest with you. He
probably shouldn't have said that. That's probably not the best
line because unless he's gonna run as an independent, but
he better have a lot of money because the last
guy is to run successfully as an independent and he
didn't win one state was Ross Parrot. Yeah, you need
a lot of money for a campaign, so he is
(12:32):
he's crazy to say they all discussed me because he's
gonna have to pick a party if he really wants
to run. And you know who else found that out
the hard way, somebody that did have a lot of money,
Donald Trump. And tell me that he doesn't sound a
lot like Donald Trump right now. Donald Trump was just
as flirtatious for years. Remember election after election, Is Donald
(12:53):
Trump gonna run? Is Donald Trump gonna run? And he
would say the exact same thing, exactly the same thing
that Steven A. Smith is saying. I hope somebody else
steps forward, But right now it doesn't seem like anybody's
out there like America needs me there because there's no
one else out there. Let me just say this about
(13:15):
Steven A. Smith, because I know him a little bit.
I can't say he's a friend, but I used to
talk to him because he used to work for the
Philadephia Inquirer covering basketball and then he became a columnist
writing about all sports before he went to ESPN. I
saw his first audition tape for ESPN. His girlfriend at
the time gave it to me to look at. And
(13:35):
so I know him a little bit, and I've talked
to him a little bit, and he's been very kind
to me by the way he helped me get jobs,
and so I like him a lot. I do like
him a lot. I think he'd be excellent as a candidate.
I think it'd be a trip to see him on
the debate stage. I would I would pay money to
see him on the debate stage against everybody else because the.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Seasoned broadcaster has some you know, good skill set there.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
He's a seasoned broadcaster, but he's even a step above that.
I mean, he dominates every discussion. He takes over every discussion,
and he's not afraid of anybody. Did you see him
on the View? He was amazing on the View. Taking
them on. They were all silent. I've never seen them
all go mute like that because he was saying that
(14:23):
you're wrong about the Democrats, you're wrong about Donald Trump.
And so I don't know if anybody's advising him right now,
but he's really playing this perfectly. He's putting it out there,
see what people think about it. Then he wants to
get people from both sides to come to him, to
(14:43):
try to get them to run for their side. But
there's no question in my mind right now that he's
either going to run or he's seriously seriously thinking about it.
So he has to find out if he give up money,
if he can get support, and he's going to have
to probably choose a political party.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
No, that's important usually, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Because you can't win. He may have the ego and
I don't think he does, but he may have the
ego to think again, run as an independent, but nobody
has a bigger ego than Donald Trump. And he found
out he couldn't run as an independent and he's got
a lot more money.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Well, Larry, I think you have a side hustle coming up.
Maybe you want to be a consultant.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Oh, I'm not going to consult Stephen A. Smith. That
would be the worst job in the world. This could
I love the guy, but it'd be the worst job
job in the world. Can you imagine to try to
give him advice, it'd be like giving Donald Trump advice. Now,
let's go to Jacqueline Carl with the eight thirty News
Jacquelin Good Morning.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
President Trump said he'd like to send US citizens who've
committed violent crimes to foreign prisons and El Salvador. Trump said, quote,
we are looking into it, and we want to do it,
referring to them as homegrown criminals. And the Trump administration
is reportedly accusing New York State Attorney General Letitia James
of mortgage fraud.
Speaker 10 (15:58):
The New York Post obtained a letters to US Attorney
General Pam Bondy accusing James of falsifying records to get
favorable home loans for a Virginia property that she claimed
as are principal residence in twenty twenty three. Law requires
her primary residence to be in New York. A spokesperson
for James says James is focused on protecting New Yorkers
as the Trump administration weaponizes the federal government against the constitution.
(16:21):
James previously accused Trump in a lawsuit of overinflating values
of his properties in order to get favorable loans. I'm
Scott Pringle wrdw's.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
Now this story is going to be very controversial.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Why do you hear it?
Speaker 6 (16:34):
According to four or four Media, a new AI service
called in Touch is designed to assist individuals who may
not have the time or inclination to regularly call their
elderly parents.
Speaker 11 (16:47):
I know.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
The service places AI generated voice calls to parents, engaging
them in conversations about their day, hobbies and feelings. After
each call, the AI provides a summary to the user,
including a visual indication or of the parent's mood such
as bad mood or neutral mood. Critics argue this may
be dehumanizing and could potentially harm the emotional wellbeing of
(17:08):
the elderly. The creator of in touch contends that the
service offers a practical solution for maintaining contact and ensuring safety,
especially when regular communication is challenging.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
What do you guys think? Just get over yourself first
of all the people that would go to this AI,
just call your parents. You're going to regret it all
your life if you don't. I absolutely hate this idea.
And I know that the world is going this way,
but it just takes away the personal touch. And trust me,
(17:40):
just trust me. I have regrets that you don't spend
enough time with your parents, and so make sure you
make that phone call because you're gonna think about it
all your life if you don't. I hate it. I
hate the idea that this is out there, and I couldn't.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I couldn't stomach it myself.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
But I'm very close with my Oh good mom.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
So but I.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
Have to say, like, this is the way the world's going.
Everything's so impersonal doctor's offices especially in so many things
like that, you can't get in touch with anyone for help.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
No, no, it's just awful. It's just awful. But that
is You're right, that's the way the world is going.
It's all gonna be awful. Thanks a lot, Jacqueline Carl.
Congratulations to Candy Randais, who just won a pair of
tickets to see the Doovie Brothers, who are touring again
this year with Michael McDonald August seventh at the PNC
(18:34):
Bank Art Center. Purchase tickets at ticketmaster dot com. You
have another chance to win tomorrow at a twenty five.
And you know, with all that's going on in the world,
with all the pressure, sometimes it's difficult to raise children.
Our friend and colleague DJ Envy from Power one oh
five and his wife Gia Casey have a new book
(18:57):
out that is a guide to raising what they call
empowered children. They'll be here with us next to talk
about it. Well, we're so proud to have Dj and
they from our sister station Power one ZHO five down
the hall the Breakfast Club. Thank you so much for
being in here todays. Even better, you brought your wife in.
(19:19):
Gia Casey is also here because the two of them
have written a book together. How long have you two
been married. We've been married twenty four years together, thirty one. Wow.
And that's what your first book was about, right.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Yes, yes, real life, real love.
Speaker 12 (19:32):
It was about our life together, the ups and the downs,
and trials and tribulations, the good, bad and the ugly
of being together for such a long time and being married.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
And congratulations on that a bestseller. It was a New
York Times bestseller.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Yeh wow.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
So they probably begged for a second book. The publisher said,
please write something else, And they do have a new
book out. The book is called Real Life, Real Love,
Life Lessons on Joy, Pain, and the Magic that holds
Us Together. That was the first book. Excuse me, but
that way you get another plug in for the first book.
This one is about raising children. It's called Real Life,
(20:08):
Real Family A Guide to Raising Empowered Children. I love that.
Tell me what it means when you write empowered children.
Speaker 12 (20:18):
Yes, the family structure is facing so many challenges, especially today.
When we were kids, there were challenges, but with the
antidote of social media and things of that nature, it's
a lot more difficult. So raising kids that are confident,
low stress and empowered can be especially difficult today. So
(20:41):
what we ventured to do is to provide a guide,
a tool, something that parents, potential parents, parents that already
have children, regardless of your age, that they can refer
back to to pretty much lead them and give them examples,
give them are experiences so that they can have children
(21:02):
that feel very confident no matter what kind of room
they walk into.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Because Rashaul and parenting is hard, very difficult. It's really difficult,
and you never think you're doing it right. Yeah, that's
the problem. Parenting, I said before, is about guilt. Yeah,
well a little bit.
Speaker 13 (21:20):
You know, I always say, you know, when we had
our kids, we didn't have the baby come out in
an instruction manual. Right, yeah, so you have to figure
it out. And you know we have six kids, twenty three,
twenty one, eleven, ten, eight, and three, so things have changed.
You know, with my twenty three year old, there was
no social media. You know, now there's social media, So
now you have to make sure those kids are prepared
for what they're going to see on social media.
Speaker 11 (21:42):
No.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Social media in a lot of cases is not a
great place, right. People look to put people down.
Speaker 13 (21:47):
So we wanted to make sure our kids don't care
about what those comments say. You know that when they
come to our house or when they come home, I
should say, it's a safe place to land, right, It's
a place where they know, they get respect, they know
we listen.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
And for us, it was difficult.
Speaker 13 (22:02):
Like I tell everybody all the time, my dad was
a retired police officer in NYPD. My dad is ex military,
So it was always no, well why because I said so,
and I let it go. Giar's way of actually parenting
is well, let's explain why, because we gain that trust.
So no, I'm going to explain why I don't want
you to go. It's not safe at night. The teens
(22:23):
come out and you know, people could be drinking and driving,
and she explains it and breaks it down, which develops
trust for our kids. And now our kids come to
us and say, well, if mom and dad say no,
there's a reason. It's not just that they're tired. It's
not that just he had a stressful day. And that
has worked so well and opened things up so well
with our kids.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
I'll tell you what, I love what you just said
about social media too. That is the new evil. And
I guess it's important that you tell your kids you
depend on those who love you. Yeah, there's going to
be outside forces in your life, with some of them
you have to ignore. Is that right?
Speaker 11 (22:56):
It is.
Speaker 12 (22:57):
It's about building a strong family identity and individual identities
for each of your children, because you don't want them
to seek validation outside of the home, because that leads
to children that are overlooked, that are taken advantage of,
and that rely on society to tell them who they
are or who they should be. And so many kids
fall susceptible to that because they don't have a nucleus
(23:19):
they don't have a family or parents that they trust
that have instilled this validation within them.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
That's great. I'll tell you what the biggest problem I've had,
and I think this is the problem that a lot
of parents have, is getting their children to build the
trusty so that your child will come to you. They
will come to you with what their problems are. Sometimes
they hide them from you. Yeah, how do you deal
with that? Well?
Speaker 13 (23:42):
See, the main thing, and this is crazy because I
had to learn from my wife was patience. See my
wife will sit down with each individual kid and talk
about their day, ask questions, be engaged. I mean, she's
talking to my eight year old about her Locker and
how she designed her Locker and they're having a three
hour conversation and I'm sitting there watching the next game,
like you're not tired yet.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
And then she'll finish with that one.
Speaker 13 (24:05):
And then a three year old to talk about her
potty experience and once she did on a party and
I'm like, the giants are on, you know. And that
patience developed, that trust where they come to mom for everything,
and I had to realize, well, that's what they want.
They want time. Kids don't care about anything else. They
don't care about what you buy them to close the
video games will They do care, But they care more
about the time that you put into them, the time,
(24:27):
the conversations. And that's what we talk about in the
book as well, is giving your kids that time.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
You know, this takes us back to the first book,
Real Life, Real Love, Life, Lessons of Joy, Pain, and
the magic that holds us together. I think part of
that is always giving your wife all the credit. Ye, well,
it's the truth. No, I understand.
Speaker 13 (24:44):
You raise the kids and me, you know, so it's
you know, it's it's learning lessons. And one thing about
us as parenting styles is we take a little bit
from each other.
Speaker 11 (24:53):
You know.
Speaker 13 (24:54):
I learned from hers, she learns from me, and together
we raise these beautiful kids.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
What is the most We've talked about the book a lot.
If people are to take away one thing, what is it?
Speaker 12 (25:06):
The most important thing to me about being a parent
is to show your kids that they're interesting. You have
to express interest in your children. When you think about life, man,
woman or child?
Speaker 11 (25:20):
You you you me.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
What is the most addictive drug in this world? Think
about it?
Speaker 12 (25:25):
Attention. It's attention. People yearn for attention, now, imagine a
child whose brain is developing and who's trying to figure
out who they are in this world. If you give
that child attention, if you actively listen, you're actually interested,
You ask questions, You lean in verbal cues, nonverbal cues,
(25:46):
You bring things up later on, you ask more questions.
They come alive. You see a person's spirit change when
they feel paid attention to That resonates to them as love.
And I've watched it with each one of my kids
and it has worked. It has worked. And in our
(26:08):
mission statement, which we may or may not get to,
we want our kids to represent us at all times,
we represent each other at all times. And what the
biggest gift from that type of parenting style is that
when my kids leave the house, they show others that
they're well loved. The fruit of that it pours out
of them. And parents always come back to us teachers like,
(26:30):
what are you guys doing in that house with these kids?
And I believe that that's the secret sauce.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
That is amazing, that's wonderful. You you chose, well, you
have a podcast.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Or something we do, it's called the Casey Crew. You
can find on you.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah, I would I would listen to that and then,
by the way, that's how you empower kids. That's the
title of the book. The new book is Real Life,
Real Family, a Guide to Raising Empowered Kids with DJ
Nvy and GK. I should put your name first. Thank
you so much for coching coming, but I don't think
(27:08):
you did any luck. Thank you so much, wonderful, it
really does. Thank you taking the time to come in.
J Casey and DJ Envy new book, Real Life, Real Family,
a Guide to Raising Empowered Children. You heard them here.
That's every reason to buy the book. Manhattan's beer delivery
workers are on strike. Will your favorite bar run dry?
(27:30):
We put our very own Natalie Migliore on the case.
We'll get the Beat on the Street next.
Speaker 11 (27:37):
Now eat w o RS Beat on the Street with
Natalie Migliori.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Oh no, the New York beer delivery workers are on strike.
How did New Yorkers feel about it? That's what Natalie
Migliori found out in her Beat on the Street this morning. Natalie,
are they panicked?
Speaker 8 (27:58):
Well, Good morning, Larry. Hundred of unionized beer delivery workers
are now on strike across New York. That means the
drink selection at happy hours across New York City, Long
Island and Westchester could start to dwindle in just a
few days. And it comes after Manhattan Beer and beverage distributors.
That's the company Field failed to reach an agreement with
(28:19):
six hundred workers and Larry forget about New Yorkers. Let's
talk to delivery drivers and other sectors who say they
understand it.
Speaker 14 (28:29):
Could be really tough. I mean, we're out here sometimes
ten to twelve hours a day, so daily too, every day,
and especially you saying up the beer. Their load is
pretty heavy, so I'm not surprised it is. It's a
hard load.
Speaker 15 (28:40):
Every job is different too. That type of industry is
beer is hard everything for them. Most of those stops
go in basements. It's a lot of work for companies,
they know. But you know, there's always somebody out there.
They think that it's going to work for less, and
they're not. It's a lot of laghbor.
Speaker 11 (28:54):
Especially knowing that, you know, we are like the backborne
of America because with our truck drivers, obviously the ball.
Speaker 8 (28:59):
Is not you know what I mean, Yeah, the ball's
not moving at all without delivery workers. The company has
five distribution depots across part of the state and delivers
names like White Clause, Modello, and Coronas part of the
issue is pensions. The company allegedly went around the union
and straight to employees in an attempt to get them
(29:22):
to retract from the pension fund.
Speaker 16 (29:24):
I mean, everybody wants the best for them and their families,
and they're doing what's try for them.
Speaker 14 (29:29):
They're working hard, decent drivers. Especially if we're talking out retirement.
They've been with them for I'm assuming fifteen to twenty
twenty five years, so I think it's only right that
you should just give them what the axle for.
Speaker 15 (29:39):
It's going to happen at the end of the career
when you want to retire. Who's going to pay all
those medical bills or if you hurt yourself, or who's
going to hire you after you get hurt from doing
that kind of job.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
So job's got to be worth the pay for you
to do it.
Speaker 11 (29:51):
Of course, I understand where they're coming from. I'd be
upset too, because if those guys are overworking on the
pad for real.
Speaker 8 (29:59):
Yeah, I didn't even mention the name of the company,
and that guy had just mentioned the Manhattan Beer and
Beverage discrepreters on his own. Once, I said beer beer
delivery workers are on strike, but some delivery drivers say
it's good the workers are unionized. The company wants workers
to switch to a four oh one K, and the
delivery drivers I spoke to say that's been a big
(30:20):
thing in recent years.
Speaker 16 (30:22):
There's very few jobs that even have unions now, and
a lot of the unions went away, and I could
see the people that have unions and pensions fighting against that.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
That's a big deal for a lot of companies.
Speaker 15 (30:32):
They all want to switch out of that.
Speaker 11 (30:33):
They all want to go to.
Speaker 15 (30:34):
They did that with us, They switched us out of
a attention to a four to one K. It's part
of the negotiation contracts, you know. They got to negotiate
and see what works for both sides. And a company
wants to save money and the workers want to make
a good living.
Speaker 11 (30:46):
Company I work for, we don't get a pension, you know,
we get a four one kid so it's cool, you know,
but they don't even match the full one kid. So
if I'll put a dollar, they don't put a dollar.
They put like twenty five cents on the dollar that
I put in.
Speaker 8 (30:59):
Yeah, and Manhattan year and beverage doesn't just serve thousands
of restaurants and delis, which, by the way, Larry, I
stopped into a bunch of bodegas this morning. A lot
of people telling me they actually got their deliveries yesterday,
so they're not necessarily concerned, or they didn't even know
that the strike was happening. But it also supplies Madison
Square Garden and Yankee Stadium, major venues. Delivery drivers say
(31:20):
people will start seeing the impact if this thing drags on.
Speaker 14 (31:24):
I give it a month. I think after a month,
they're probably gonna get what they asking for, if not before,
because you know, when people will stop delivering in the companies,
it's gonna mess up a lot of things, not just them.
It's all these stores that they're delivering too.
Speaker 15 (31:37):
Nobody's gonna get somebody's not gonna be happy they show
up in supermarkets, it's everywhere.
Speaker 16 (31:42):
You know.
Speaker 15 (31:43):
It all comes from delivery.
Speaker 16 (31:44):
I'm not a big drinker myself, but I know people
like their beer.
Speaker 8 (31:47):
So we'll just see what happens, Larry. Right now, workers
are on the picket line and talks are actually starting
to happen today, at least that's the reports that I'm
seeing that talks will come to the table today, so
we'll see how this ends up.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
I'm surprised. I'm really surprised that there wasn't more people
that you talked to that were real concerned about their
own beer consumption, right, and if they had to stock
up now, oh, no, hoarding beer.
Speaker 8 (32:18):
I know a lot of New Yorker's this morning telling me,
like just regular people on the street telling me, Larry,
they didn't drink beer, so I gotta go find my
beer drinkers next time.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Yeah, that's all right, that's all right. They'll they'll learn
after the strike goes into effect, that's when everybody's gonna suffer.
But thanks so much, Natalie. We'll be back tomorrow morning
at eight fifty. Coming up Letitia James. Well, well, well, well, well,
it turns out that she was doing a little bit
(32:47):
what she accused Donald Trump of. We'll talk about it
right after the nine o'clock News
Welcome back and thanks for being with us today. Something
great has happened, one of the best things ever to
happen to the Republican Party, just when approval numbers were
starting to go down a little bit. The return of
Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Social Security is more than the government program. It's a
sacred promise. We made. As a sacred promise, seventy three
million Americans received Social Security.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
That's true. That last part was true. They're not going
to cut Social Security. They're cutting the glut of at
the Social Security Office. That's what they're doing. All of
the people that don't belong there, all the people that
don't show up, all of the people that Joe Biden
hired for Social Security to hide the bed unemployment numbers,
(00:52):
to keep the jobs coming in. He hired so many
people for the federal government, and they're all being cut
back right now by Doge. But this is the best
thing to happen to the Republican Party because we are
now reminded of how bad things are. So Welcome back
to the stage, Joe Biden. We are glad to have you.
(01:16):
And the retrial of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein starts in
Manhattan with new accusers, and one of them, the Weinstein people,
claim that the sex was consensual. Well guess what, her
attorney disagrees.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
This was not consensual.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
This was sexual assault.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Live force jury selections started yesterday, it will continue today.
And Donald Trump apparently was dead serious when he said
he wanted to send violent American born criminals to prison
in El Salvador.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
I call them homegrown criminals, the ones that grew up
and something went wrong and they hit people over the
head with a baseball bat. We have and push people
into subways just before the train gets there, like you
see happening. Sometimes we are looking into it and we
want to do it.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
And Letitia James, the Attorney General for New York, the
one that went after Donald Trump for overvaluing his properties,
which isn't really a crime. There was no victim to that.
But she should listen to her own words.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
The President of these United States is not above the law.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yep, that's true, and neither is the Attorney General of
New York. The US Federal Housing Finance Agency has sent
a criminal referral to the Justice Department alleging that New
York Attorney General Letitia James committed mortgage fraud and the
details are damning. She allegedly used false information not once,
(02:56):
but twice to obtain real estate. Eight and finally, well,
the world lost a game show legend. Bwink Martindale, the
man whose name became synonymous with a great game show host.
He was the epitome of a game show host. He
is now dead at the age of ninety one. But
(03:19):
what a great and successful life. And with that, let's
get the Vicky Palladino New York City Council members. She
represents District nineteen of Northeast Queens. And I'm gonna start
Vicky with the question I always seem to be wondering,
what is wrong with the city council. This is re ridiculous.
This is unbelievable that they're going up against that, they're
(03:43):
slapping Ice and the Adams administration with a lawsuit over Ice.
Returning to Rikers Island, where do they want They want
the criminals back out on the street. Is that what
they want? They want them to be freed and be
back in the community.
Speaker 7 (04:00):
Morning, Larry, you warning everybody, Yes, it's you. Actually just
I'm cracking up because as I as you introduced me,
I'm laughing because it is that funny. I mean, it
is pathetic when every when, every time you hear them
talk about public safety and you hear them stand on
how they are, you know, going at war with our
(04:23):
with our president and the Trump administration and to protect
the rights and safety of all New Yorkers against the
attacks of Donald J. Trump. Come on, give me a break. Okay,
We've got real real issues here with them doing this.
I tell you, I was shot. I was surprised. Well,
just when you're think you they can't surprise you anymore,
(04:44):
they do. So now this is made very very clear,
you know, since Mayor Adams took on Randy Mastro as
his first deputy Mayor, Randy is to say brilliant is
an understatement and needs to be underscored several times with
an exclamation point. They will go to battle. They will
(05:07):
lose the battle because they've got every right to be there.
Let's remember something about our sanctuary city laws and how
they all started. You know, sanctuary I'm going to read
a little bit. Sanctuary city laws were originally laws to
as an enforcement tool to help the local cops of
our crimes by encouraging witnesses to come forward without being
(05:31):
afraid of their immigration status. Well that was you know.
That was then in twenty sixteen when they redid the
sanctuary city laws, it was they expanded that to remove
ICE from our gail system. However, it remained legal for
(05:54):
the mayor to authorize, under executive authority cooperation with ICE
for the sake of law enforcement or on national security.
So that means that gang members, criminals, terrorists and legally
eligible are legally eligible under our sanctuary city laws for
(06:15):
the NYPD or Corrections to turn them over for deportations. Okay,
So now the mayor has used this authority, you know,
and to authorize ICE to enter rikers, you know, to
pursue immigrants, all our gangs. So this has been a
real joke and the whole thing is absolutely ridiculous because
(06:40):
you just can't this is this is just belowney what
she's doing. You cannot do this. And then she has
her whole crew behind her. You know, last week before
the stated meeting, you know, you had a lessis sevillists,
all these haters, and like you said, very very very
from the beginning, this is all about actually breaking the
(07:04):
sanctuary city policy by deep pointing and getting rid of
the dangerous and the most vile of our criminals, and
yet they don't want to do that. Wrap your head
around it, everybody, try to wrap your head around it.
Ill insanity.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, let's be clear and exactly what they're saying now,
because Tom Homan has been pushing for this all across
the country for a long long time. All he's saying is,
we're going to go after these people anyway. We'd rather
do it, no fuss, no mess. You hand them over
to us already cuffed, will take them into custody that way,
we don't have to have a shootout in the communities.
(07:42):
We're going to get them anyway. But now they're going
to be in the communities and we have to send
a massive amount of manpower to arrest them. So they're
going to get arrested no matter what. And so correct.
That's why it's insane, VICKI, That's why it makes no
sense at all.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
This could be, like you said, cut and dry. They
get arrested, they're taken to rikers Homans guys go in
and they remove them and they take them where they
need to go. I mean, simple, very very very simple.
Why do they want Well, you see The issue is
they feel like they are going to be knocking down
(08:20):
doors of innocent people. Now that one guy that got
transferred last week to El Salvador, and it seems to
be tying up the news. Now one guy, one person
and an MS thirteen gang member, though he doesn't have
any tattoos. They're using him as the post a child. Okay,
(08:42):
he's the post of child for what Trump is doing
wrong and what Homan is doing as far as knocking
down and taking an innocent father away from his children.
This is not the way it's going everybody. Okay, these
are lethal, lethal people, These people who sit human beings
on fire and subways. These people have got to go.
(09:06):
Holman's got a handle on it. Let's keep it clean,
let's get them out. My council seems to think that
this is an invasion of our undocumented people here in
the city. That's not what's happening. Okay. If you are
an undocumented person, a law of body person, though you
are here illegally, but you are not committing any crimes,
(09:30):
they are not coming after you. They are coming after
the people that don't make us feel safe yet. In
her opening statement, she says that this is once again
that the City Council is going to stand firm to
protect the rights and safety of all New Yorkers against
the Trump administration. Well, you know what, Speaker Adams, you got.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
It backwards and she can never be married, especially because
of that. Vicki Palladino, New York City Council represents District
now nineteen of Northeast Queens. Thank you so much, all,
very well said. Appreciate you being on.
Speaker 8 (10:05):
Thank you, darling.
Speaker 7 (10:06):
I have a happy holiday.
Speaker 8 (10:07):
Okay, you too.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Is sports commentator Steven A. Smith running for president or isn't.
He's got to make up his mind. He's starting to
sound a lot like another non politician who ran for president.
Here for yourself. Plus, we have tickets to see the
Doobie Brothers. Stay with us. So I assume everybody knows
who Steven A. Smith is? Right? Would you agree that
(10:29):
most people, even people that don't follow sports, would know
who Stephen A. Smith is.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
I think the name has a lot of familiarity.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
To people, and he's been branching out recently a lot. Yeah,
in his podcast, he does a lot of interviews. As
a matter of fact, Andrew Cuomo, it was one of
the first interviews he did was with Stephen A. Smith
on the Stephen A. Smith Podcast. He's been delving into
politics a lot, and a lot of people recently have
(10:56):
started asking him, and I don't think this just came
up organically. A lot of people have been asking him
if he's going to run for president, and he's always
very flirtatious about it, saying that a lot of people
are asking me to run. My pastor says I would
be great. My neighbors say I would be great, that
I should run, a lot of people are telling me
(11:19):
I should run, But I'm not interested in it. I
don't like that game. I've heard him time and time
and time again say exactly that. Recently, well, just Sunday,
he was on this week the ABC Sunday morning show
Big Time, That's Big Time, and the topic came up,
(11:42):
and this is the first time he sounded like he
really may do this. I'm not a politician.
Speaker 9 (11:50):
I've never had a desire to be a politician. I
would hope somebody else would step up that's more qualified
than me, But if it has to come down to me,
it is something I would consider. Yes, I would, because
I don't mind have thought of tussling with these folks
at all on the left for the right. All of
them discussed me, to be quite honest with you, All of.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Them discussed me, to be quite honest with you. He
probably shouldn't have said that. That's probably not the best
line because unless he's gonna run as an independent, but
he better have a lot of money because the last
guy is to run successfully as an independent and he
didn't win one state was Ross Parrot. Yeah, you need
a lot of money for a campaign, so he is
(12:32):
he's crazy to say they all discussed me because he's
gonna have to pick a party if he really wants
to run. And you know who else found that out
the hard way, somebody that did have a lot of money,
Donald Trump. And tell me that he doesn't sound a
lot like Donald Trump right now. Donald Trump was just
as flirtatious for years. Remember election after election, Is Donald
(12:53):
Trump gonna run? Is Donald Trump gonna run? And he
would say the exact same thing, exactly the same thing
that Steven A. Smith is saying. I hope somebody else
steps forward, But right now it doesn't seem like anybody's
out there like America needs me there because there's no
one else out there. Let me just say this about
(13:15):
Steven A. Smith, because I know him a little bit.
I can't say he's a friend, but I used to
talk to him because he used to work for the
Philadephia Inquirer covering basketball and then he became a columnist
writing about all sports before he went to ESPN. I
saw his first audition tape for ESPN. His girlfriend at
the time gave it to me to look at. And
(13:35):
so I know him a little bit, and I've talked
to him a little bit, and he's been very kind
to me by the way he helped me get jobs,
and so I like him a lot. I do like
him a lot. I think he'd be excellent as a candidate.
I think it'd be a trip to see him on
the debate stage. I would I would pay money to
see him on the debate stage against everybody else because the.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Seasoned broadcaster has some you know, good skill set there.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
He's a seasoned broadcaster, but he's even a step above that.
I mean, he dominates every discussion. He takes over every discussion,
and he's not afraid of anybody. Did you see him
on the View? He was amazing on the View. Taking
them on. They were all silent. I've never seen them
all go mute like that because he was saying that
(14:23):
you're wrong about the Democrats, you're wrong about Donald Trump.
And so I don't know if anybody's advising him right now,
but he's really playing this perfectly. He's putting it out there,
see what people think about it. Then he wants to
get people from both sides to come to him, to
(14:43):
try to get them to run for their side. But
there's no question in my mind right now that he's
either going to run or he's seriously seriously thinking about it.
So he has to find out if he give up money,
if he can get support, and he's going to have
to probably choose a political party.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
No, that's important usually, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Because you can't win. He may have the ego and
I don't think he does, but he may have the
ego to think again, run as an independent, but nobody
has a bigger ego than Donald Trump. And he found
out he couldn't run as an independent and he's got
a lot more money.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Well, Larry, I think you have a side hustle coming up.
Maybe you want to be a consultant.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Oh, I'm not going to consult Stephen A. Smith. That
would be the worst job in the world. This could
I love the guy, but it'd be the worst job
job in the world. Can you imagine to try to
give him advice, it'd be like giving Donald Trump advice. Now,
let's go to Jacqueline Carl with the eight thirty News
Jacquelin Good Morning.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
President Trump said he'd like to send US citizens who've
committed violent crimes to foreign prisons and El Salvador. Trump said, quote,
we are looking into it, and we want to do it,
referring to them as homegrown criminals. And the Trump administration
is reportedly accusing New York State Attorney General Letitia James
of mortgage fraud.
Speaker 10 (15:58):
The New York Post obtained a letters to US Attorney
General Pam Bondy accusing James of falsifying records to get
favorable home loans for a Virginia property that she claimed
as are principal residence in twenty twenty three. Law requires
her primary residence to be in New York. A spokesperson
for James says James is focused on protecting New Yorkers
as the Trump administration weaponizes the federal government against the constitution.
(16:21):
James previously accused Trump in a lawsuit of overinflating values
of his properties in order to get favorable loans. I'm
Scott Pringle wrdw's.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
Now this story is going to be very controversial.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Why do you hear it?
Speaker 6 (16:34):
According to four or four Media, a new AI service
called in Touch is designed to assist individuals who may
not have the time or inclination to regularly call their
elderly parents.
Speaker 11 (16:47):
I know.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
The service places AI generated voice calls to parents, engaging
them in conversations about their day, hobbies and feelings. After
each call, the AI provides a summary to the user,
including a visual indication or of the parent's mood such
as bad mood or neutral mood. Critics argue this may
be dehumanizing and could potentially harm the emotional wellbeing of
(17:08):
the elderly. The creator of in touch contends that the
service offers a practical solution for maintaining contact and ensuring safety,
especially when regular communication is challenging.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
What do you guys think? Just get over yourself first
of all the people that would go to this AI,
just call your parents. You're going to regret it all
your life if you don't. I absolutely hate this idea.
And I know that the world is going this way,
but it just takes away the personal touch. And trust me,
(17:40):
just trust me. I have regrets that you don't spend
enough time with your parents, and so make sure you
make that phone call because you're gonna think about it
all your life if you don't. I hate it. I
hate the idea that this is out there, and I couldn't.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I couldn't stomach it myself.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
But I'm very close with my Oh good mom.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
So but I.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
Have to say, like, this is the way the world's going.
Everything's so impersonal doctor's offices especially in so many things
like that, you can't get in touch with anyone for help.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
No, no, it's just awful. It's just awful. But that
is You're right, that's the way the world is going.
It's all gonna be awful. Thanks a lot, Jacqueline Carl.
Congratulations to Candy Randais, who just won a pair of
tickets to see the Doovie Brothers, who are touring again
this year with Michael McDonald August seventh at the PNC
(18:34):
Bank Art Center. Purchase tickets at ticketmaster dot com. You
have another chance to win tomorrow at a twenty five.
And you know, with all that's going on in the world,
with all the pressure, sometimes it's difficult to raise children.
Our friend and colleague DJ Envy from Power one oh
five and his wife Gia Casey have a new book
(18:57):
out that is a guide to raising what they call
empowered children. They'll be here with us next to talk
about it. Well, we're so proud to have Dj and
they from our sister station Power one ZHO five down
the hall the Breakfast Club. Thank you so much for
being in here todays. Even better, you brought your wife in.
(19:19):
Gia Casey is also here because the two of them
have written a book together. How long have you two
been married. We've been married twenty four years together, thirty one. Wow.
And that's what your first book was about, right.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Yes, yes, real life, real love.
Speaker 12 (19:32):
It was about our life together, the ups and the downs,
and trials and tribulations, the good, bad and the ugly
of being together for such a long time and being married.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
And congratulations on that a bestseller. It was a New
York Times bestseller.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Yeh wow.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
So they probably begged for a second book. The publisher said,
please write something else, And they do have a new
book out. The book is called Real Life, Real Love,
Life Lessons on Joy, Pain, and the Magic that holds
Us Together. That was the first book. Excuse me, but
that way you get another plug in for the first book.
This one is about raising children. It's called Real Life,
(20:08):
Real Family A Guide to Raising Empowered Children. I love that.
Tell me what it means when you write empowered children.
Speaker 12 (20:18):
Yes, the family structure is facing so many challenges, especially today.
When we were kids, there were challenges, but with the
antidote of social media and things of that nature, it's
a lot more difficult. So raising kids that are confident,
low stress and empowered can be especially difficult today. So
(20:41):
what we ventured to do is to provide a guide,
a tool, something that parents, potential parents, parents that already
have children, regardless of your age, that they can refer
back to to pretty much lead them and give them examples,
give them are experiences so that they can have children
(21:02):
that feel very confident no matter what kind of room
they walk into.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Because Rashaul and parenting is hard, very difficult. It's really difficult,
and you never think you're doing it right. Yeah, that's
the problem. Parenting, I said before, is about guilt. Yeah,
well a little bit.
Speaker 13 (21:20):
You know, I always say, you know, when we had
our kids, we didn't have the baby come out in
an instruction manual. Right, yeah, so you have to figure
it out. And you know we have six kids, twenty three,
twenty one, eleven, ten, eight, and three, so things have changed.
You know, with my twenty three year old, there was
no social media. You know, now there's social media, So
now you have to make sure those kids are prepared
for what they're going to see on social media.
Speaker 11 (21:42):
No.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Social media in a lot of cases is not a
great place, right. People look to put people down.
Speaker 13 (21:47):
So we wanted to make sure our kids don't care
about what those comments say. You know that when they
come to our house or when they come home, I
should say, it's a safe place to land, right, It's
a place where they know, they get respect, they know
we listen.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
And for us, it was difficult.
Speaker 13 (22:02):
Like I tell everybody all the time, my dad was
a retired police officer in NYPD. My dad is ex military,
So it was always no, well why because I said so,
and I let it go. Giar's way of actually parenting
is well, let's explain why, because we gain that trust.
So no, I'm going to explain why I don't want
you to go. It's not safe at night. The teens
(22:23):
come out and you know, people could be drinking and driving,
and she explains it and breaks it down, which develops
trust for our kids. And now our kids come to
us and say, well, if mom and dad say no,
there's a reason. It's not just that they're tired. It's
not that just he had a stressful day. And that
has worked so well and opened things up so well
with our kids.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
I'll tell you what, I love what you just said
about social media too. That is the new evil. And
I guess it's important that you tell your kids you
depend on those who love you. Yeah, there's going to
be outside forces in your life, with some of them
you have to ignore. Is that right?
Speaker 11 (22:56):
It is.
Speaker 12 (22:57):
It's about building a strong family identity and individual identities
for each of your children, because you don't want them
to seek validation outside of the home, because that leads
to children that are overlooked, that are taken advantage of,
and that rely on society to tell them who they
are or who they should be. And so many kids
fall susceptible to that because they don't have a nucleus
(23:19):
they don't have a family or parents that they trust
that have instilled this validation within them.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
That's great. I'll tell you what the biggest problem I've had,
and I think this is the problem that a lot
of parents have, is getting their children to build the
trusty so that your child will come to you. They
will come to you with what their problems are. Sometimes
they hide them from you. Yeah, how do you deal
with that? Well?
Speaker 13 (23:42):
See, the main thing, and this is crazy because I
had to learn from my wife was patience. See my
wife will sit down with each individual kid and talk
about their day, ask questions, be engaged. I mean, she's
talking to my eight year old about her Locker and
how she designed her Locker and they're having a three
hour conversation and I'm sitting there watching the next game,
like you're not tired yet.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
And then she'll finish with that one.
Speaker 13 (24:05):
And then a three year old to talk about her
potty experience and once she did on a party and
I'm like, the giants are on, you know. And that
patience developed, that trust where they come to mom for everything,
and I had to realize, well, that's what they want.
They want time. Kids don't care about anything else. They
don't care about what you buy them to close the
video games will They do care, But they care more
about the time that you put into them, the time,
(24:27):
the conversations. And that's what we talk about in the
book as well, is giving your kids that time.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
You know, this takes us back to the first book,
Real Life, Real Love, Life, Lessons of Joy, Pain, and
the magic that holds us together. I think part of
that is always giving your wife all the credit. Ye, well,
it's the truth. No, I understand.
Speaker 13 (24:44):
You raise the kids and me, you know, so it's
you know, it's it's learning lessons. And one thing about
us as parenting styles is we take a little bit
from each other.
Speaker 11 (24:53):
You know.
Speaker 13 (24:54):
I learned from hers, she learns from me, and together
we raise these beautiful kids.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
What is the most We've talked about the book a lot.
If people are to take away one thing, what is it?
Speaker 12 (25:06):
The most important thing to me about being a parent
is to show your kids that they're interesting. You have
to express interest in your children. When you think about life, man,
woman or child?
Speaker 11 (25:20):
You you you me.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
What is the most addictive drug in this world? Think
about it?
Speaker 12 (25:25):
Attention. It's attention. People yearn for attention, now, imagine a
child whose brain is developing and who's trying to figure
out who they are in this world. If you give
that child attention, if you actively listen, you're actually interested,
You ask questions, You lean in verbal cues, nonverbal cues,
(25:46):
You bring things up later on, you ask more questions.
They come alive. You see a person's spirit change when
they feel paid attention to That resonates to them as love.
And I've watched it with each one of my kids
and it has worked. It has worked. And in our
(26:08):
mission statement, which we may or may not get to,
we want our kids to represent us at all times,
we represent each other at all times. And what the
biggest gift from that type of parenting style is that
when my kids leave the house, they show others that
they're well loved. The fruit of that it pours out
of them. And parents always come back to us teachers like,
(26:30):
what are you guys doing in that house with these kids?
And I believe that that's the secret sauce.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
That is amazing, that's wonderful. You you chose, well, you
have a podcast.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Or something we do, it's called the Casey Crew. You
can find on you.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah, I would I would listen to that and then,
by the way, that's how you empower kids. That's the
title of the book. The new book is Real Life,
Real Family, a Guide to Raising Empowered Kids with DJ
Nvy and GK. I should put your name first. Thank
you so much for coching coming, but I don't think
(27:08):
you did any luck. Thank you so much, wonderful, it
really does. Thank you taking the time to come in.
J Casey and DJ Envy new book, Real Life, Real Family,
a Guide to Raising Empowered Children. You heard them here.
That's every reason to buy the book. Manhattan's beer delivery
workers are on strike. Will your favorite bar run dry?
(27:30):
We put our very own Natalie Migliore on the case.
We'll get the Beat on the Street next.
Speaker 11 (27:37):
Now eat w o RS Beat on the Street with
Natalie Migliori.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Oh no, the New York beer delivery workers are on strike.
How did New Yorkers feel about it? That's what Natalie
Migliori found out in her Beat on the Street this morning. Natalie,
are they panicked?
Speaker 8 (27:58):
Well, Good morning, Larry. Hundred of unionized beer delivery workers
are now on strike across New York. That means the
drink selection at happy hours across New York City, Long
Island and Westchester could start to dwindle in just a
few days. And it comes after Manhattan Beer and beverage distributors.
That's the company Field failed to reach an agreement with
(28:19):
six hundred workers and Larry forget about New Yorkers. Let's
talk to delivery drivers and other sectors who say they
understand it.
Speaker 14 (28:29):
Could be really tough. I mean, we're out here sometimes
ten to twelve hours a day, so daily too, every day,
and especially you saying up the beer. Their load is
pretty heavy, so I'm not surprised it is. It's a
hard load.
Speaker 15 (28:40):
Every job is different too. That type of industry is
beer is hard everything for them. Most of those stops
go in basements. It's a lot of work for companies,
they know. But you know, there's always somebody out there.
They think that it's going to work for less, and
they're not. It's a lot of laghbor.
Speaker 11 (28:54):
Especially knowing that, you know, we are like the backborne
of America because with our truck drivers, obviously the ball.
Speaker 8 (28:59):
Is not you know what I mean, Yeah, the ball's
not moving at all without delivery workers. The company has
five distribution depots across part of the state and delivers
names like White Clause, Modello, and Coronas part of the
issue is pensions. The company allegedly went around the union
and straight to employees in an attempt to get them
(29:22):
to retract from the pension fund.
Speaker 16 (29:24):
I mean, everybody wants the best for them and their families,
and they're doing what's try for them.
Speaker 14 (29:29):
They're working hard, decent drivers. Especially if we're talking out retirement.
They've been with them for I'm assuming fifteen to twenty
twenty five years, so I think it's only right that
you should just give them what the axle for.
Speaker 15 (29:39):
It's going to happen at the end of the career
when you want to retire. Who's going to pay all
those medical bills or if you hurt yourself, or who's
going to hire you after you get hurt from doing
that kind of job.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
So job's got to be worth the pay for you
to do it.
Speaker 11 (29:51):
Of course, I understand where they're coming from. I'd be
upset too, because if those guys are overworking on the
pad for real.
Speaker 8 (29:59):
Yeah, I didn't even mention the name of the company,
and that guy had just mentioned the Manhattan Beer and
Beverage discrepreters on his own. Once, I said beer beer
delivery workers are on strike, but some delivery drivers say
it's good the workers are unionized. The company wants workers
to switch to a four oh one K, and the
delivery drivers I spoke to say that's been a big
(30:20):
thing in recent years.
Speaker 16 (30:22):
There's very few jobs that even have unions now, and
a lot of the unions went away, and I could
see the people that have unions and pensions fighting against that.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
That's a big deal for a lot of companies.
Speaker 15 (30:32):
They all want to switch out of that.
Speaker 11 (30:33):
They all want to go to.
Speaker 15 (30:34):
They did that with us, They switched us out of
a attention to a four to one K. It's part
of the negotiation contracts, you know. They got to negotiate
and see what works for both sides. And a company
wants to save money and the workers want to make
a good living.
Speaker 11 (30:46):
Company I work for, we don't get a pension, you know,
we get a four one kid so it's cool, you know,
but they don't even match the full one kid. So
if I'll put a dollar, they don't put a dollar.
They put like twenty five cents on the dollar that
I put in.
Speaker 8 (30:59):
Yeah, and Manhattan year and beverage doesn't just serve thousands
of restaurants and delis, which, by the way, Larry, I
stopped into a bunch of bodegas this morning. A lot
of people telling me they actually got their deliveries yesterday,
so they're not necessarily concerned, or they didn't even know
that the strike was happening. But it also supplies Madison
Square Garden and Yankee Stadium, major venues. Delivery drivers say
(31:20):
people will start seeing the impact if this thing drags on.
Speaker 14 (31:24):
I give it a month. I think after a month,
they're probably gonna get what they asking for, if not before,
because you know, when people will stop delivering in the companies,
it's gonna mess up a lot of things, not just them.
It's all these stores that they're delivering too.
Speaker 15 (31:37):
Nobody's gonna get somebody's not gonna be happy they show
up in supermarkets, it's everywhere.
Speaker 16 (31:42):
You know.
Speaker 15 (31:43):
It all comes from delivery.
Speaker 16 (31:44):
I'm not a big drinker myself, but I know people
like their beer.
Speaker 8 (31:47):
So we'll just see what happens, Larry. Right now, workers
are on the picket line and talks are actually starting
to happen today, at least that's the reports that I'm
seeing that talks will come to the table today, so
we'll see how this ends up.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
I'm surprised. I'm really surprised that there wasn't more people
that you talked to that were real concerned about their
own beer consumption, right, and if they had to stock
up now, oh, no, hoarding beer.
Speaker 8 (32:18):
I know a lot of New Yorker's this morning telling me,
like just regular people on the street telling me, Larry,
they didn't drink beer, so I gotta go find my
beer drinkers next time.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Yeah, that's all right, that's all right. They'll they'll learn
after the strike goes into effect, that's when everybody's gonna suffer.
But thanks so much, Natalie. We'll be back tomorrow morning
at eight fifty. Coming up Letitia James. Well, well, well, well, well,
it turns out that she was doing a little bit
(32:47):
what she accused Donald Trump of. We'll talk about it
right after the nine o'clock News
