Latest / Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning / Hour 1: NY Sports injuries
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Oh, Larry. Wow. First day of fall yesterday.
- 0:04Speaker 2: My wife, Nancy, was dancing the Tarantella, the polka, because
- 0:10Speaker 2: temperatures have dropped.
- 0:11Speaker 1: You felt it today.
- 0:12Speaker 2: The threat of a nor'easter coming up. Well, we're going
- 0:16Speaker 2: to have Ray Stajic later on in the program to
- 0:18Speaker 2: give us the pre-pre-pre-pre hype of whether it's going to
- 0:22Speaker 2: hit us hard.
- 0:24Speaker 1: Or whether it's just going to float offshore.
- 0:26Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to be listening at 7.50 because this
- 0:31Speaker 3: could go either way. And Ray Stajic is one of
- 0:33Speaker 3: the best in the business. He's been covering it since
- 0:37Speaker 3: it was down, since they thought it was going to
- 0:39Speaker 3: be a hurricane. And so he will be able to
- 0:41Speaker 3: tell you if it's going to hit, if there's going
- 0:43Speaker 3: to be any flooding, especially coastal flooding. And he's coming
- 0:47Speaker 3: up in just a little bit over an hour. Let's
- 0:52Speaker 3: talk about the UN yesterday and Donald Trump's speech. We're
- 0:55Speaker 3: going to be covering this a few times today because
- 0:57Speaker 3: there's several news stories coming out of it. But Donald
- 1:02Speaker 3: Trump held the speech, spoke for just under an hour.
- 1:09Speaker 3: It was heralded as a pretty darn good speech, even
- 1:12Speaker 3: by some of the people that he's banning from being
- 1:16Speaker 3: at the White House. And there were a couple of
- 1:20Speaker 3: walkouts about 10 minutes in. The contingent from Iran walked
- 1:25Speaker 3: out when he talked about Iran. And then a little
- 1:27Speaker 3: bit later, the contingent from Cuba walked out. But it
- 1:31Speaker 3: was a packed house. And that's to be expected when
- 1:34Speaker 3: the president of the United States gets up. But more
- 1:38Speaker 3: than anything else, and this has been the signature of
- 1:43Speaker 3: this president in two terms, it was America first.
- 1:48Speaker 4: America is back and our country is stronger today than
- 1:53Speaker 4: ever before.
- 1:55Speaker 3: Yeah, and that was the theme throughout. America first, America first,
- 1:59Speaker 3: America first. What is getting the most attention, however, is
- 2:04Speaker 3: when he talked about Iran. And that took up a
- 2:07Speaker 3: huge portion of his speech. But this, you may have
- 2:11Speaker 3: heard it already because it's played a lot, but it's
- 2:13Speaker 3: worth playing again and worth talking about.
- 2:16Speaker 1: But I have a big decision to make.
- 2:20Speaker 4: Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them
- 2:24Speaker 4: rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever
- 2:28Speaker 4: was before, maybe one of the greatest in the Middle
- 2:32Speaker 4: East or even the world? Or do I annihilate the
- 2:37Speaker 4: Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a
- 2:40Speaker 4: chance to kill and destroy people and countries again?
- 2:46Speaker 3: Yeah, and right after that, his son-in-law, Jared and Witkoff,
- 2:51Speaker 3: spoke with an Iranian contingent for about three hours at
- 2:54Speaker 3: the U.N. They're trying to work out a deal, but
- 2:57Speaker 3: as Trump said, they're not going to make a deal
- 3:00Speaker 3: until after the midterms. They're going to try to hurt
- 3:02Speaker 3: me in the midterms, which is smart on his part
- 3:05Speaker 3: for a couple of reasons, because what he's saying to
- 3:09Speaker 3: the American people is if you vote against Republicans, you're
- 3:13Speaker 3: helping Iran.
- 3:14Speaker 4: I call on all nations to join us in enforcing
- 3:18Speaker 4: the complete economic isolation of Iran until they stop their
- 3:22Speaker 4: attacks on commercial shipping, relinquish their nuclear ambitions, and cease
- 3:27Speaker 4: their support of terror.
- 3:30Speaker 3: Well, many of those nations met at the UN in
- 3:33Speaker 3: a private meeting, especially the European nations. And afterwards, the
- 3:38Speaker 3: president of France, Emmanuel Macron, said that they don't agree
- 3:44Speaker 3: completely with the president. Here's the big thing they want.
- 3:47Speaker 3: They want diesel fuel and they want oil. And they
- 3:51Speaker 3: want this to stop. And so they want to do
- 3:54Speaker 3: anything possible to stop this as quickly as possible.
- 3:58Speaker 5: For me, the main objective of our discussion with your
- 4:01Speaker 5: president and other colleagues is to find the right deal
- 4:04Speaker 5: in order to reopen arms trade and decrease the pressure
- 4:08Speaker 5: on diesel, on jet fuels, on crude.
- 4:10Speaker 3: Oil, Yeah, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil. That's all they
- 4:15Speaker 3: talked to in the NATO coalition that was there. And
- 4:19Speaker 3: they met privately both before and after the speech. One
- 4:24Speaker 3: last thing that President Trump said, and I'll play this
- 4:26Speaker 3: and we can then talk more about the speech and
- 4:30Speaker 3: the long lasting effects of the speech. He did take
- 4:33Speaker 3: a veiled shot at the media and he took a
- 4:37Speaker 3: shot at the leakers. And he is especially upset at
- 4:41Speaker 3: one lie that was told. And that is that the
- 4:45Speaker 3: munitions are way down. And he's upset about that because
- 4:48Speaker 3: getting that out into the world, especially to our enemies,
- 4:53Speaker 3: weakens us in the world. So it is actually a
- 4:57Speaker 3: national security issue.
- 4:59Speaker 4: The cowards and traitors would love to say the United
- 5:02Speaker 4: States is low on munitions, but that's not true. We
- 5:05Speaker 4: have more munitions than... we could ever possibly even think
- 5:10Speaker 4: of using. And we're building them at levels that we
- 5:13Speaker 4: have never done before.
- 5:15Speaker 2: Right.
- 5:15Speaker 3: That was important for him to say to the world,
- 5:17Speaker 3: because whoever leaked that information, whoever printed that information, did
- 5:22Speaker 3: harm to the United States and put us at a
- 5:25Speaker 3: level of weakness in the world by printing that stuff.
- 5:29Speaker 3: And it really isn't just true. The Pentagon put out
- 5:31Speaker 3: its numbers for munitions, and we still have more munitions
- 5:34Speaker 3: than any other country. As a matter of fact, more
- 5:37Speaker 3: than the top other three combined. Number two, three, and four,
- 5:40Speaker 3: you add them together, we have more munitions than them.
- 5:43Speaker 3: So that was just a lie. So if you're wondering
- 5:46Speaker 3: about why some organizations were kept from the White House,
- 5:50Speaker 3: their hard passes were taken, that was probably one of
- 5:53Speaker 3: the biggest reasons.
- 5:54Speaker 2: What was your takeaway, Curtis? The escalator worked this time.
- 5:59Speaker 2: So Madam First Lady Melania and President Donald Trump got
- 6:04Speaker 2: a normal escalator ride, remember the last time, The escalators,
- 6:08Speaker 2: Trump believes, were interfered with because the first family was
- 6:15Speaker 2: going to go up the escalators. Number two, he got
- 6:19Speaker 2: really testy with Caitlin Conlon, whatever the hell her name is,
- 6:24Speaker 2: from CNN, was in the scrum before he went into
- 6:28Speaker 2: the General Assembly.
- 6:30Speaker 1: Shouldn't have done that. Because, of course, CNN is going
- 6:33Speaker 1: to be there.
- 6:33Speaker 2: The whole world, every media outlet is there, from the
- 6:36Speaker 2: smallest to the biggest. But to single her out, petty, petty, petty. Look,
- 6:41Speaker 2: a federal judge is going to determine that today. He's
- 6:44Speaker 2: going to hear the arguments as to whether they can
- 6:46Speaker 2: keep them out of the White House scrum. You know,
- 6:49Speaker 2: with our own WOR White House correspondent, we'll find out
- 6:53Speaker 2: very quickly from him.
- 6:55Speaker 1: But, again, it all gets down to foreign policy.
- 6:58Speaker 2: That's why you're at the U.N., I know he spent
- 7:00Speaker 2: a lot about talking about his domestic issue. And I'm
- 7:05Speaker 2: sure if you were watching it, it played to the
- 7:07Speaker 2: home crowd of all the things that he feels that
- 7:10Speaker 2: he has done that he's not getting credit for.
- 7:12Speaker 1: But it's really this war in Iran.
- 7:15Speaker 2: And the fact that he would once again go back
- 7:18Speaker 2: to this, well, either we have peace or I annihilate them.
- 7:22Speaker 2: I mean, how many times has he said that? You know,
- 7:26Speaker 2: bomb them back to the Stone Age. it's sort of like,
- 7:31Speaker 2: I think Americans are tired.
- 7:32Speaker 1: Oh, we'll see. Tired of hearing this.
- 7:35Speaker 2: If you look at polling results, he's doing most poorly
- 7:39Speaker 2: with foreign policy. Only about 30% of Americans, and that
- 7:44Speaker 2: would probably account for his MAGA supporters, are supporting his
- 7:48Speaker 2: foreign policy. Now, obviously, when you think foreign policy, you're
- 7:51Speaker 2: not thinking of the totality of it. You're really just
- 7:54Speaker 2: thinking this war in Iran. 70% are not happy. That's
- 7:58Speaker 2: why going into this midterm election, which you said is what,
- 8:02Speaker 2: five weeks away? This Iranian war hangs over everything. Pricing,
- 8:07Speaker 2: cost of living, affordability. As Macron was talking about the
- 8:12Speaker 2: diesel fuel, very important for us. And then he forgot
- 8:15Speaker 2: to mention, with fall upon us, home heating fuel oil.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Now we're going to need more home heating fuel oil
- 8:22Speaker 2: because that's mostly how people stay warm other than natural gas.
- 8:27Speaker 2: And that's the same petroleum supply that you get diesel
- 8:30Speaker 2: from when it goes to the refinery. So there's a
- 8:33Speaker 2: number of different issues there. I know that they were
- 8:36Speaker 2: going back channeling for about three hours, as you had mentioned,
- 8:39Speaker 2: Witkoff and the president's son-in-law, Kushner, with the Iranian emissaries
- 8:46Speaker 2: before the Iranian president comes today. He's going to speak
- 8:49Speaker 2: at the General Assembly. But I just felt, OK, we've
- 8:53Speaker 2: heard this speech before.
- 8:55Speaker 1: What are you going to do?
- 8:57Speaker 2: And, you know, the war is going to end after
- 8:59Speaker 2: the midterm elections. It's just you're not getting that feeling
- 9:04Speaker 2: from Iran. You're getting the feeling that like in Cuba, right?
- 9:07Speaker 2: Cuba was supposed to roll over, you know, with no
- 9:10Speaker 2: oil at all. And yet they somehow is still afloat
- 9:13Speaker 2: out there. So I would just suggest.
- 9:16Speaker 3: Mr. President, you've got to deal with this quickly. You've
- 9:20Speaker 3: wanted them to surrender from the beginning. You've wanted them
- 9:22Speaker 3: to pull out from the beginning. So you're not saying
- 9:25Speaker 3: anything new. This is what your position was when we
- 9:29Speaker 3: first went in.
- 9:29Speaker 2: Declare victory. We've done that before. Declare victory and get
- 9:32Speaker 2: the hell out of here.
- 9:33Speaker 3: But we obviously don't have victory, especially when we set
- 9:36Speaker 3: the goal as making sure they will never have a
- 9:39Speaker 3: nuclear weapon. Let's see how these talks go. I mean,
- 9:42Speaker 3: I didn't expect you to give the president's speech a
- 9:44Speaker 3: glowing review, although surprisingly, many of the people who are
- 9:48Speaker 3: normally his enemies gave it a resounding thumbs up. And also,
- 9:53Speaker 3: many of the people there that have laughed at him
- 9:57Speaker 3: in the past aren't laughing anymore.
- 9:59Speaker 1: So I thought... it.
- 10:00Speaker 3: Was an excellent speech about American dominance in the world.
- 10:05Speaker 3: And that is absolutely true at this point. We have
- 10:08Speaker 3: the best economy. We have the most powerful military. And
- 10:12Speaker 3: now what we're looking to do is get out of
- 10:14Speaker 3: Iran without Iran ever having a nuclear weapon. And the
- 10:18Speaker 3: talks are taking place right now. So we'll see what happens.
- 10:22Speaker 1: Let me just remind you.
- 10:24Speaker 2: There was a time in which he was sugar and
- 10:27Speaker 2: nice with the evil seed of Kim Jong mentally ill,
- 10:31Speaker 2: and he didn't want him to have a nuclear weapon.
- 10:33Speaker 2: So he said, instead of this hard tact, we'll use
- 10:36Speaker 2: the soft tact. The president most recently said that Kim
- 10:40Speaker 2: Jong mentally ill in North Korea now has 57 nuclear weapons,
- 10:45Speaker 2: and they have the capability of now hitting the West Coast.
- 10:49Speaker 1: So how did that work out?
- 10:52Speaker 3: How many countries has Korea attacked?
- 10:55Speaker 1: North Korea?
- 10:56Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 10:56Speaker 1: Oh, they threaten everybody in this year.
- 10:58Speaker 3: How many have they attacked?
- 10:59Speaker 4: None.
- 11:00Speaker 3: Yeah. How many has Iran attacked?
- 11:01Speaker 1: Wait a second.
- 11:02Speaker 2: Actually, North Korea is involved with Russia now in attacking Ukraine.
- 11:06Speaker 2: They have 30,000 troops in the Ukraine. Yeah, they're helping them.
- 11:09Speaker 2: But how many has the country themselves started a war
- 11:12Speaker 2: with or shot?
- 11:12Speaker 3: Nobody.
- 11:13Speaker 1: Nobody. Nobody.
- 11:14Speaker 3: Iran has continually through themselves and their proxies.
- 11:18Speaker 2: So it's a completely, completely different issue. We know there
- 11:21Speaker 2: are different points of view in Iran. They battle with
- 11:23Speaker 2: each other. There's only one point of view in North Korea.
- 11:25Speaker 2: So if the cult leader decides, hit the button, they
- 11:29Speaker 2: hit the button and they launch a nuclear war.
- 11:31Speaker 3: Anybody can do that. Anybody in the world that has
- 11:33Speaker 3: a nuclear weapon. So I don't think that they stand
- 11:37Speaker 3: different than anybody else. When we come back, Oh, here
- 11:44Speaker 3: it is. There is a new map for the marathon.
- 11:49Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, it's going to be really
- 11:51Speaker 3: kind of fascinating to see where they're going to run now.
- 11:55Speaker 3: It's actually, if you look at it, it's much, much
- 12:00Speaker 3: better for the runners. Plus, a chance to see Kenny
- 12:04Speaker 3: G at 825. Now, I do want to talk to
- 12:07Speaker 3: you about the C-Crane Wind-Up Emergency Radio. You heard about
- 12:11Speaker 3: the Nor'easter possibly coming. Depending on how it hits, yes,
- 12:15Speaker 3: power could be knocked out, and that's why you get
- 12:19Speaker 3: the CC Radio Solar with Bluetooth. It's a great radio
- 12:23Speaker 3: for those inevitable powerless times. It features an oversized solar panel,
- 12:28Speaker 3: built-in LED flashlight, and a battery strength meter. There you go.
- 12:32Speaker 3: Everything you need to make it through an emergency and
- 12:35Speaker 3: still be connected. The CC Radio Solar with Bluetooth is
- 12:39Speaker 3: about the size of a brick with a clean, modern,
- 12:42Speaker 3: digital design. It has five easy one-touch memories, superior reception,
- 12:47Speaker 3: excellent audio, so you can enjoy it at home every day.
- 12:50Speaker 3: You can enjoy it on the road. You can enjoy
- 12:52Speaker 3: it at a ballgame, at a camping experience. It covers AM, FM, weather,
- 12:57Speaker 3: and NOAA weather alerts. It even doubles as a Bluetooth
- 13:01Speaker 3: speaker for your favorite shows, podcasts, and music. All of that.
- 13:06Speaker 3: To order the CC Radio Solar with Bluetooth, call C-Crane
- 13:09Speaker 3: now at 800-522-8863. Once again, that's 800-522-8863. Or you can
- 13:12Speaker 3: visit them online at C-Crane.com. That's C-C-R-A-N-E.com. Also available on Amazon.
- 13:25Speaker 2: Wow, WOR, you did an amazing job covering the Fifth
- 13:31Speaker 2: Avenue mile sprint. Great job, Larry. Great job, Natalie, and
- 13:36Speaker 2: everybody involved with our staff. But WOR really steps up
- 13:42Speaker 2: with the New York Road Runners Club in giving broadcast
- 13:46Speaker 2: to the marathon that's coming up. And I see some
- 13:50Speaker 2: minor changes to the route. uh so i'm not a
- 13:54Speaker 2: cognoscente of this if you could break it down for
- 13:57Speaker 2: me larry and natalie who are part and parcel of
- 13:59Speaker 2: the broadcast here at wor.
- 14:01Speaker 3: Yeah it is uh not a big change not a
- 14:04Speaker 3: big change at all but some of the runners complained
- 14:09Speaker 3: and that's where this is coming from by the way
- 14:11Speaker 3: this is the first change in the marathon in 15
- 14:13Speaker 3: years so this is a a big deal when they
- 14:16Speaker 3: do this, but it is to, this is what they
- 14:19Speaker 3: said to minimize the races impacts on the Bronx community
- 14:24Speaker 3: as the neighborhood has evolved over the past 50 years
- 14:27Speaker 3: of the five borough marathon in 2026. So some people
- 14:32Speaker 3: in the neighborhood complain, some of the runners complain, they
- 14:35Speaker 3: didn't like it. So this year runners coming off the
- 14:38Speaker 3: Willis Avenue bridge are will continue running down Alexander Avenue
- 14:44Speaker 3: till East 141st Street rather than making a left on
- 14:49Speaker 3: East 138th Street as they had in previous years. So
- 14:53Speaker 3: in previous years, they'd come over the bridge, they'd run
- 14:55Speaker 3: a little bit, and then they had to take a
- 14:56Speaker 3: few turns. And so this way, it's more straightforward. It can't.
- 15:04Speaker 3: Take down the distance of it. It has to be
- 15:05Speaker 3: the exact same distance. This is the one area I
- 15:07Speaker 3: do have expertise. For years, we would accompany the Achilles
- 15:11Speaker 3: track club. Those are the runners who have all kinds
- 15:16Speaker 3: of physical issues and finish much later in the race.
- 15:20Speaker 3: And we would accompany them to start from the Manhattan
- 15:24Speaker 3: section to the Bronx as they come back into Manhattan.
- 15:27Speaker 2: And then, of course, across the finish line. Zoe Kaplowitz
- 15:30Speaker 2: was the one who always finished last. So I concur.
- 15:32Speaker 1: I concur.
- 15:33Speaker 2: Having walked that section before with Zoe Kaplewicz and some
- 15:36Speaker 2: of the Achilles track club members, I concur that this
- 15:39Speaker 2: is good for everybody concerned.
- 15:42Speaker 1: Good for the runners.
- 15:43Speaker 3: You know, it cuts down the number of turns. The
- 15:45Speaker 3: turns are the big thing. And it cuts down the
- 15:47Speaker 3: numbers of turns from seven to five. So you get
- 15:50Speaker 3: the run straight. for a longer period of time, but
- 15:53Speaker 3: it's still 26.2 miles. That hasn't shortened. It's still going
- 15:56Speaker 3: to be the same amount of miles.
- 15:57Speaker 1: You get the Curtis Lee with seal of street approval
- 16:00Speaker 1: on this.
- 16:01Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 16:02Speaker 3: Uh, I, I actually can't wait for the marathon. We
- 16:05Speaker 3: got a little bit of a taste of, of the
- 16:07Speaker 3: marathon in the, uh, fifth Avenue mile. That was so
- 16:11Speaker 3: much fun. And I will tell you something about the
- 16:14Speaker 3: marathon that, that really touched me. And it was last
- 16:16Speaker 3: year was my first year Natalie's done it a couple
- 16:19Speaker 3: of years, but the thing that touched me the most
- 16:22Speaker 3: was not the professional runners. I mean, that's cool to
- 16:25Speaker 3: see them, the best of the best running, and that's
- 16:28Speaker 3: pretty cool. It's the people that come from all over
- 16:32Speaker 3: the world. that planned for this for a few years,
- 16:37Speaker 3: that this was their life goal, to run the New
- 16:40Speaker 3: York City Marathon. And they might come in last. They
- 16:44Speaker 3: might come in way behind the people in the finish.
- 16:48Speaker 3: And they're there with their families. And so the families
- 16:51Speaker 3: end up running the marathon, too, because they want to
- 16:54Speaker 3: be there at the end. So they stand there with
- 16:56Speaker 3: their signs. They pass by. They all cheer. And then
- 17:00Speaker 3: they start running to the finish line. Or they take
- 17:03Speaker 3: the subway or they hop in a car. They do
- 17:05Speaker 3: whatever they have to do to be at the finish
- 17:07Speaker 3: line so they can be there to cheer them on.
- 17:10Speaker 3: That's what touches me.
- 17:11Speaker 4: Oh, I know.
- 17:12Speaker 7: I have had the fortune to produce it for a
- 17:15Speaker 7: few years, but I was there as a spouse for
- 17:18Speaker 7: four or five years.
- 17:20Speaker 8: My husband was running. And I'll tell you what's so exciting.
- 17:23Speaker 7: It's amazing when you see your loved one go by
- 17:26Speaker 7: and you have the sign and they come over and
- 17:28Speaker 7: hug you and all that. But there's something at the
- 17:30Speaker 7: end of it. You are so inspired. You want to
- 17:33Speaker 7: sign up the next year.
- 17:34Speaker 9: I'm like, you know what?
- 17:35Speaker 8: I could do this. I want to have that feeling.
- 17:38Speaker 1: I haven't done it.
- 17:41Speaker 8: It goes away really.
- 17:42Speaker 1: Quickly after that. Wait a second. You're our knee expert.
- 17:46Speaker 8: I'm not going to run it now.
- 17:47Speaker 2: Coming up when we give a New York Giants review
- 17:50Speaker 2: on our star quarterback. You're the medical expert that we're
- 17:54Speaker 2: going to go to because you just had knee surgery.
- 17:57Speaker 3: Let's get to Daria Albinger right now with the news
- 18:01Speaker 3: at 630. Daria. Daria.
- 18:02Speaker 6: Sorry about it. Always helps to have the mic on
- 18:09Speaker 6: when you want to talk, right?
- 18:10Speaker 3: I saw you talking. You were trying really hard.
- 18:13Speaker 1: And I was talking really, really loudly. Sorry about that, guys.
- 18:16Speaker 6: And it is the first full day of fall, and
- 18:19Speaker 6: it is certainly going to feel like it today. We're

- 18:32Speaker 6: to social media, saying that he would, quote, tell the
- 18:35Speaker 6: truth about Mamdani when he addressed the UN General Assembly
- 18:39Speaker 6: this week, saying his honor was, quote, targeting New York Jews.
- 18:42Speaker 6: The mayor telling CNN once again that he believes Netanyahu
- 18:45Speaker 6: is a war criminal. The UN Security Council will hear
- 18:47Speaker 6: from two tech CEOs today. OpenAI's Sam Altman and Anthropic
- 18:52Speaker 6: Stereo Amadei will brief them about artificial intelligence and international security.
- 18:57Speaker 6: And remember, because the UN is in session, it's another
- 18:59Speaker 6: Gridlock Alert Day. A state audit finds the State University
- 19:03Speaker 6: of New York system did not have proper oversight when
- 19:05Speaker 6: it comes to the use of AI.
- 19:07Speaker 10: The State Controller's Office identifying missing policies, incomplete inventories of
- 19:11Speaker 10: AI tools, and insufficient testing for accuracy and bias. SUNY
- 19:15Speaker 10: says it adopted a system-wide AI policy in April. after
- 19:19Speaker 10: the audit's review period ended and is requiring individual campuses
- 19:23Speaker 10: to update their policies by the end of December.
- 19:26Speaker 3: Jennifer Bolsoni, WOR News.
- 19:28Speaker 6: The Justice Department argues in a court filing that President
- 19:31Speaker 6: Trump can restrict major news organizations from accessing certain areas
- 19:34Speaker 6: of the White House due to national security concerns.
- 19:37Speaker 11: The Trump administration contends that access to the White House
- 19:40Speaker 11: is a privilege rather than a constitutional right, despite First
- 19:44Speaker 11: Amendment protections for the press. The legal arguments were submitted
- 19:47Speaker 11: ahead of an emergency hearing today before you District Judge
- 19:50Speaker 11: Timothy Kelly, where the three outlets are seeking immediate restoration
- 19:54Speaker 11: of their White House access.
- 19:56Speaker 3: I'm Mark Mayfield.
- 19:57Speaker 6: Yankees fall to Tampa Bay last night, but they did
- 19:59Speaker 6: win a makeup game yesterday afternoon. And Aaron Judge is
- 20:02Speaker 6: still out, and he probably will be for the wildcard series.
- 20:05Speaker 1: The Mets beat Texas, and the Giants.
- 20:09Speaker 6: reportedly are saying that Jackson Dart could be out the
- 20:11Speaker 6: entire season with that injured knee. They're not confirming it,
- 20:14Speaker 6: but that's what we're hearing. Next news, 7 o'clock bulletins
- 20:17Speaker 6: at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
- 20:22Speaker 2: Next, we got to talk about the miserable three. Jackson
- 20:26Speaker 2: Dart possibly down for the count the rest of the season.
- 20:29Speaker 1: Aaron Judge may be out for the playoffs.
- 20:32Speaker 2: And the one person we didn't think there was going
- 20:34Speaker 2: to be any problem with, but in her death... The
- 20:37Speaker 2: fight over Dolly Parton's estate really is getting nasty.
- 20:42Speaker 1: All of that up next.
- 20:44Speaker 12: But.
- 20:45Speaker 2: Think about music when you say Dolly Parton and her
- 20:48Speaker 2: great performances. We just completed our 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival
- 20:54Speaker 2: presented by Capital One, and it was absolutely fabulous.
- 20:58Speaker 1: Watch all the moments.
- 21:00Speaker 2: You missed an exclusive backstage clips that you're not going
- 21:03Speaker 2: to be able to see anywhere else. You just tap
- 21:05Speaker 2: the highlights tab as you listen to us in the
- 21:08Speaker 2: iHeart app. And get ready to relive the once-in-a-lifetime moments
- 21:12Speaker 2: starting October 1st on Disney Plus and Hulu.
- 21:17Speaker 3: There was a whole lot of excitement about the New
- 21:20Speaker 3: York Giants this year. They had Jackson Dart. They had Scabadoo.
- 21:25Speaker 3: They had so many. They had a great defense. They
- 21:28Speaker 3: had a great receiver. But everything was Jackson Dart, right?
- 21:33Speaker 3: Everything was the quarterback. Everything. He was sliding this year.
- 21:38Speaker 3: He was running out of bounds. He was trying to
- 21:40Speaker 3: protect himself. They won their first game. They got on
- 21:43Speaker 3: Monday Night Football this week. There was so much excitement
- 21:47Speaker 3: that this team might actually make the playoff for the
- 21:50Speaker 3: first time in years. And then on the Giants' first drive,
- 21:55Speaker 3: with 11.20 left in the first quarter, Jackson Dart gets
- 22:01Speaker 3: hit by two Rams defenders. One up high, one down
- 22:06Speaker 3: low at the knees, and he went down. Now, there
- 22:09Speaker 3: was hope Monday, remember? There was hope because they x-rayed
- 22:13Speaker 3: him and they said right away, the general manager Shane
- 22:16Speaker 3: said right away, it doesn't look that serious. But yesterday morning,
- 22:20Speaker 3: we all got the bad news. Breaking news for the
- 22:24Speaker 3: New York Giants.
- 22:25Speaker 12: Jackson Dart's MRI was worse than initially feared. Sources tell
- 22:31Speaker 12: me and colleague Mike Garofalo that Dart is going to
- 22:33Speaker 12: be out an extended period of.
- 22:35Speaker 3: Time, possibly the season.
- 22:37Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
- 22:38Speaker 3: Possibly the season. That was Ian Rappaport who breaks more
- 22:42Speaker 3: stories in sports than anybody in the business he went on.
- 22:47Speaker 12: The initial belief was that he was going to be okay.
- 22:49Speaker 12: It was an MCL sprain. Further testing today showed it
- 22:53Speaker 12: is a serious and significant injury. Surgery is considered likely.
- 22:59Speaker 12: Jackson Dart could very well be lost for the season.
- 23:03Speaker 2: So all the billboards, all the advertisements he's mr madison
- 23:08Speaker 2: avenue are all for naught this year but we do
- 23:12Speaker 2: have an expert here i never had any surgery i
- 23:14Speaker 2: don't believe you did larry but our own natalie just
- 23:17Speaker 2: survived that ordeal natalie what can you tell us i
- 23:21Speaker 2: mean you just went under the knife you're the expert now.
- 23:25Speaker 7: Well i he has a mcl strain apparently but that
- 23:32Speaker 7: that's a ligament issue I had a torn meniscus.
- 23:35Speaker 8: So, different.
- 23:36Speaker 2: What the hell? You were hopping around? You're finally back
- 23:40Speaker 2: in stride?
- 23:41Speaker 8: I had, you know, arthroscopic surgery. It did take seven weeks.
- 23:45Speaker 8: And to tell you the truth, it's still not exactly right.
- 23:48Speaker 7: So I can't even imagine a more major injury and
- 23:51Speaker 7: how it would feel.
- 23:53Speaker 3: It sounds like, I know you just read that, that
- 23:55Speaker 3: it was a strain, but it sounds like it has
- 23:58Speaker 3: to be something more than a strain if they want
- 24:01Speaker 3: to perform surgery on it.
- 24:02Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 24:03Speaker 3: I mean, we're not getting any details. That was the
- 24:05Speaker 3: initial report that it was a strain.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Let's just say it's a washout this season. You're not
- 24:10Speaker 2: going to play him this year coming off of surgery.
- 24:12Speaker 2: He's a, He is their all-star. Everything is built around him.
- 24:16Speaker 3: Yeah, if there is surgery. Remember, even Rappaport said he
- 24:19Speaker 3: may need surgery. So I'm just surprised the Giants haven't
- 24:23Speaker 3: come out and given more information.
- 24:25Speaker 1: Because they can't believe this. It's John Harbaugh. I was
- 24:29Speaker 1: on my way to the Super Bowl.
- 24:31Speaker 2: Now, flip the script, over to Yankee Stadium, a greater
- 24:36Speaker 2: superstar because he's already earned the superstar status, Aaron Judge.
- 24:41Speaker 2: suffered a calf injury upon his return. Remember, he was
- 24:44Speaker 2: out like weeks and weeks and weeks. So he comes back,
- 24:47Speaker 2: he plays, he has a calf injury. Now it turns
- 24:49Speaker 2: out he'll be out for the first round of the playoffs.
- 24:52Speaker 2: Maybe all the playoffs if the Yankees can survive. Boy,
- 24:57Speaker 2: that's bad news in double.
- 25:00Speaker 1: And then the.
- 25:00Speaker 2: One person we said never had any bad news attached
- 25:03Speaker 2: to her other than her health issues, Dolly Parton.
- 25:06Speaker 1: But in death, a battle over what?
- 25:10Speaker 2: Her estate, the guy that we played, you, in fact,
- 25:14Speaker 2: you may have been the first media person to actually
- 25:16Speaker 2: play the cut that came from her nephew, who was
- 25:19Speaker 2: in charge of her security, in which he described, you know,
- 25:23Speaker 2: her wishes upon death. And apparently Dolly Parton's estate has
- 25:28Speaker 2: gotten in a restraining order against that nephew. And like
- 25:31Speaker 2: most families, you know, you go to probate or surrogate court,
- 25:35Speaker 2: total chaos may follow.
- 25:38Speaker 3: It is weird to me. I've been reading all of
- 25:41Speaker 3: the stories, and I know you have too, and Natalie,
- 25:45Speaker 3: you have, so maybe you can help me clear this
- 25:46Speaker 3: up because I didn't find it. Was there nothing laid out?
- 25:50Speaker 3: Is there no will? I mean, you shouldn't have this
- 25:53Speaker 3: kind of fight right now, especially Dolly Parton with $ 400 million.
- 25:59Speaker 3: I mean, you would think that she would be able
- 26:01Speaker 3: to lay out where she wanted all that money to go. Actually,
- 26:05Speaker 3: her worth is over a billion dollars if they put Dolly–
- 26:08Speaker 3: the properties in there as well. I mean you would
- 26:11Speaker 3: think that there would be attorneys all over her saying
- 26:14Speaker 3: we got to figure out your estate. There shouldn't be
- 26:17Speaker 3: this kind of fight. Does anybody know if there's any will?
- 26:21Speaker 2: Well– Who is our expert here at WOR who's always
- 26:25Speaker 2: reminding us, make sure you dot the I.
- 26:27Speaker 1: You cross the T.
- 26:28Speaker 8: And Margaret Caruso.
- 26:29Speaker 3: That's right.
- 26:30Speaker 2: And we've talked with her about the fact that sometimes
- 26:33Speaker 2: the most brilliant, educated people upon death have not settled
- 26:39Speaker 2: their estate. And maybe they signed different papers at different
- 26:42Speaker 2: times in our battle. But this guy that we thought
- 26:45Speaker 2: was the heartbeat for Dolly Parton, her nephew, who was
- 26:48Speaker 2: in charge of everything, security, arrangements, details, everything.
- 26:52Speaker 1: He's been tossed. The executor has said he's out. There
- 26:57Speaker 1: may be.
- 26:58Speaker 2: Potential corruption involved. The poor lady has just been laid
- 27:02Speaker 2: to rest. She does not deserve this, but it'll be interesting.
- 27:07Speaker 2: You know, TMZ and all the media outlets are going
- 27:10Speaker 2: to be all over this. We're going to find out
- 27:13Speaker 2: sooner rather than later. why the nephew was just kicked out, lock, stock,
- 27:18Speaker 2: and barrel.
- 27:18Speaker 3: You're talking about Seaver. And here's something from the New
- 27:21Speaker 3: York Times that really stuck out to me when he
- 27:23Speaker 3: described himself, this is when she died, as a killer
- 27:28Speaker 3: and said that on the day his aunt died, he
- 27:31Speaker 3: sold $ 27 million in arms and ammunitions to the Haitian police.
- 27:39Speaker 3: What the hell?
- 27:42Speaker 7: This story is insane.
- 27:46Speaker 1: Your aunt just died?
- 27:47Speaker 3: Somebody that really made your career and the first thing
- 27:51Speaker 3: you do is you sell $ 27 million in arms to
- 27:55Speaker 3: the Haitian police?
- 27:56Speaker 7: And who are these other people kicking out the person
- 27:58Speaker 7: that we thought was the person? How do they have
- 28:02Speaker 7: the right to do that? I am so confused by
- 28:04Speaker 7: this story.
- 28:05Speaker 2: The executor, if there's an executor of the estate. What
- 28:08Speaker 2: a mess you guys, what a mess. Maybe we can
- 28:11Speaker 2: pick up on this tomorrow. I'm sure more details will
- 28:13Speaker 2: come out.
- 28:13Speaker 3: We should get Ann-Margaret on to talk about this as
- 28:17Speaker 3: well because she's the expert. When we come back, my
- 28:20Speaker 3: heart breaks for the people in Keyport, New Jersey. People
- 28:24Speaker 3: are dying. They have 400 cases of cancer and they
- 28:26Speaker 3: can't get answers. And it sure does sound like somebody
- 28:31Speaker 3: is lying to them. We'll have the details and the
- 28:34Speaker 3: latest hearing and the latest findings next. Thanks to you,
- 28:38Speaker 3: we're helping teachers bring more opportunities, creativity, and learning into
- 28:43Speaker 3: their classrooms every single day. iHeartRadio's Thank a Teacher, powered
- 28:48Speaker 3: by Donor's Choice, makes a real difference for teachers and students.
- 28:53Speaker 3: You can learn more at iHeartRadio.com slash teachers.
- 28:59Speaker 1: I feel so bad.
- 29:00Speaker 3: For the people of Keyport, New Jersey, who have been
- 29:04Speaker 3: dealing for years with cancer cases after cancer cases after
- 29:10Speaker 3: cancer cases since the AeroMarine landfill site was put to
- 29:15Speaker 3: rest and homes have built over it. Homes were built
- 29:19Speaker 3: near it since then. Over 500 cases of cancer since
- 29:26Speaker 3: that time. It is an amazing cluster of cancer in
- 29:30Speaker 3: a small area that is talked about across the country
- 29:35Speaker 3: as an example of what can happen if you don't
- 29:38Speaker 3: secure these toxic landfills. But in New Jersey, over and
- 29:45Speaker 3: over and over again, the EPA and the company that
- 29:51Speaker 3: now owns the land around that site said, no, no, no,
- 29:56Speaker 3: you're all wrong. Nothing to see here. The head of
- 30:00Speaker 3: the EPA in New Jersey had a public hearing there
- 30:05Speaker 3: last night to give the latest tests. And, of course,
- 30:10Speaker 3: he said, no, nothing wrong.
- 30:13Speaker 9: Our testing efforts, complemented by the independent data that was
- 30:16Speaker 9: shared with us from the two environmental consulting firms, have
- 30:21Speaker 9: not found any indication that contamination from the Arrow Marine site,
- 30:25Speaker 9: which includes the landfill, is impacting the surrounding neighborhoods.
- 30:29Speaker 3: Well, as you can imagine, the residents were not happy
- 30:32Speaker 3: about that, especially the residents who were there packing this
- 30:37Speaker 3: arena with 200 people that have cancer, that their daughters
- 30:42Speaker 3: and sons have cancer, that have watched people die from cancer.
- 30:46Speaker 3: We're sitting here because you couldn't solve it 47 years
- 30:49Speaker 3: ago or 16 years ago or 20 years ago.
- 30:52Speaker 1: You guys are still trying to tell us the same rhetoric.
- 30:54Speaker 3: Over and over again, he kept saying, look, I'm just
- 30:57Speaker 3: telling you what the findings are.
- 30:58Speaker 9: We have identified some contaminants, not at levels high enough
- 31:02Speaker 9: to make its way through the vapor intrusion or the
- 31:05Speaker 9: groundwater because we're not drinking the groundwater.
- 31:08Speaker 3: So that brought up the question. And it's an important question.
- 31:12Speaker 3: Where did you test? Where did you test? Because if
- 31:17Speaker 3: you tested in areas where the landfill used to be,
- 31:21Speaker 3: where the homes are not, And you tested some water.
- 31:25Speaker 3: I get that. You tested some water. Maybe you're not
- 31:28Speaker 3: testing the right areas. Why don't you go, as many
- 31:33Speaker 3: of the residents said last night, oh boy, here's a
- 31:37Speaker 3: crazy idea. Why don't you go test in people's homes?
- 31:40Speaker 1: I'm asking the DEP directly tonight.
- 31:43Speaker 3: Will you test my property?
- 31:44Speaker 1: You have a chance to fix this. Let's do it together.
- 31:48Speaker 3: That's a gentleman that has cancer right now.
- 31:49Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 31:50Speaker 3: And his daughter has cancer right now. And he's saying,
- 31:53Speaker 3: you keep testing, you keep testing, you keep testing, you
- 31:55Speaker 3: keep telling us there's nothing wrong. We keep getting cancer,
- 31:59Speaker 3: and you have not come to our homes yet.
- 32:02Speaker 2: Well, the most interesting thing, as you said, a generational pattern. Parents, children,
- 32:07Speaker 2: even some of the dogs in the families have come
- 32:11Speaker 2: down with these cancers. And this boneheaded resistance by the officials.
- 32:17Speaker 2: You know, I got to know the people in Keyport.
- 32:19Speaker 2: I would take that express ferry down to Atlantic Highlands.
- 32:23Speaker 2: I did orientation at the high school for like two
- 32:25Speaker 2: straight years. Blue collar working class. I mean, you know,
- 32:30Speaker 2: you don't look at these people and say, oh, they're grifters.
- 32:32Speaker 2: You know, they're just trying to make. No, they're hardworking people. Patriotic.
- 32:37Speaker 2: This is the kind of people you want to come
- 32:39Speaker 2: to the aid of. And they are being left out there.
- 32:43Speaker 2: with no answers after paying all these taxes. And what
- 32:46Speaker 2: other conclusion can you come to, Larry, other than a landfill?
- 32:51Speaker 2: And as I mentioned previously, our own Natalie lived near
- 32:55Speaker 2: a landfill in Staten Island, which had so many cancer
- 33:00Speaker 2: occurrences because they didn't use the same technology now in landfills.
- 33:05Speaker 2: Years ago, they just dumped everything, toxic waste, everything that
- 33:08Speaker 2: seeps into the water basin.
- 33:09Speaker 1: So you're right. Go into the people's homes.
- 33:13Speaker 2: Test on their property, which they refuse to do, because
- 33:17Speaker 2: maybe they realize what they're going to find, Larry.
- 33:20Speaker 3: There's also, by the way, we can talk more about
- 33:22Speaker 3: this story. It deserves a lot more coverage than just this,
- 33:27Speaker 3: because I believe this is going to turn into a
- 33:30Speaker 3: national story when they find out that New Jersey hid
- 33:33Speaker 3: a report in 2010 that showed there were cancer-causing agents
- 33:39Speaker 3: in the homes. A whistleblower has come out with that.
- 33:43Speaker 3: Let's talk more about that if we can tomorrow. But
- 33:47Speaker 3: when we come back, well, Donald Trump stole the show yesterday.
- 33:52Speaker 3: Benjamin Netanyahu is about to be now the star of
- 33:56Speaker 3: the show at the UN. And before he came over,
- 33:59Speaker 3: he blasted Zoran Mamdani. Who blasted him? We have an
- 34:04Speaker 3: international feud on right now. We'll talk about it after
- 34:08Speaker 3: the 7 o'clock news.
