Len Berman & Michael Riedel In The Morning:
Len and Michael talked with former New York Governor David Paterson after he and his stepson were attacked last Friday night, with Paterson describing how a verbal incident quickly escalated.
Two big hurricanes have wreaked havoc in the south in recent weeks, and like seemingly everything these days they became a political football. Len and Michael talked with WOR White House correspondent Jon Decker about President Biden and former President Trump bickering over the distribution of FEMA funds when people are dealing with the aftermath of a hurricane.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has somehow managed to hang on to his power at City Hall in the wake of federal bribery charges, even as more of his aides and staffers have resigned or been forced to leave their posts. The mayor is looking for a new police commissioner, schools chancellor, deputy mayor for public safety and senior advisor, as well as people to fill several other high-profile jobs. If Adams himself resigns or is forced out, who could New Yorkers look to to replace him? Former Nassau County Executive Laura Curran joined Len and Michael this week and floated two of the leading names she thinks could take over if Adams is pushed out.
Mark Simone:
Will we ever have a fair and unbiased media again? Mark and journalist Liz Peek talked about the prospects…or maybe the lack thereof.
Did the Democrats cause the dock workers’ strike to be put on hold? Economist Steve Moore joined Mark to share his thoughts on the subject and the economy overall.
Former White House insider Monica Crowley joined Mark this week to talk about what she describes as the craziest campaign season ever.
