Highlights for Curtis and Larry · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, by the time we get off, Larry, the president
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: of the United States, Donald Trump will be getting in
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: front of the podium in the U.N. General Assembly and
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: making his speech. And boy, we'll have a lot to
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: talk about tomorrow. But right now, I want to query
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: you and you, Natalie, and everyone in our audience about
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the concept of men doing the cooking.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: The concept?
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the concept.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Is it a hard concept?
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: A very difficult concept when it comes to yours truly.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: As I've said, at the age of 72, every time
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: somebody has come up to me and said, hey, Curtis,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: are you able to cook? Have you ever cooked? I said, yeah,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I can cook to kill. You do not want to
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: eat anything that I try to hustle you up off
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the griddle.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Or in any other capacity.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: You just don't.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I never thought of it as a manly thing to do.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Wow. I'm not putting the apron strings on. Sorry.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Do you feel that way too?
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: No, I don't.
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: And I changed my mind completely on who should be
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: doing the cooking in the house because of my son-in-law, Justin,
• 1:16
  Speaker 6: who is an incredible cook. I mean, by the way,
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: I think he should open a pizza shop because he
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: makes homemade pizza. And I have never had pizza that
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: good in my life.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Does he want to partner with my husband?
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: Does your husband make pizza?
• 1:30
  Speaker 7: Last night, he made pizza dough the day before. And
• 1:35
  Speaker 7: then we had pizza last night.
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: I keep telling him he should open a restaurant, Justin.
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: I mean, it is that good. It is the best
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: pizza I've ever eaten. It's gotten to the point now. Now,
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: I have grandkids, right, that I love to see and
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: love to visit. I have my daughter, of course, that
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: I adore. But I will check if Justin's going to
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: be doing the cooking before.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: I go over.
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: Oh, Chef Justin, right? Oh, he's unbelievable. But it's not
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: just him. It's that age group. And I think it's
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: because of all the celebrity chefs.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Chef Ramsay with the F-bombs. There's your son-in-law. curse
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: while he's cooking or doing the preparation like Chef Ramsay?
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: No, no, no.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: My husband doesn't either.
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: Okay, so I got a couple of thoughts on this. One, yeah,
• 2:19
  Speaker 7: I think that the rise of celebrity chefs definitely had
• 2:22
  Speaker 7: something to do with it. I also think it was
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: survival because that generation of men had their wives working,
• 2:29
  Speaker 7: so it was a little different. It wasn't like they
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: were coming home and the wife was there cooking, so
• 2:35
  Speaker 7: that could have been part of it.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: But that's been around for a while.
• 2:38
  Speaker 7: Well, yeah, but I mean, you know, it's just your generation,
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: your mom probably was home, right?
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: And did all the cooking.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and did all the cooking.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: And by the way, she was Irish, which isn't the
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: best food. I mean, it was substantive. You know, I
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: got a lot of stuff, and it was hefty, let's
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: put it that way. But she's Irish. We did have
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: cabbage every week.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: Once a week.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I've always said the reason the English conquered the world
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: from sea to shining sea is that they, even more
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: so than the Irish, the worst food, the worst possible
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: food you can imagine, they'll tell you, oh, come on over.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: We're serving dinner at 7 o'clock. My God, you can't
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: wait to get out of there because you're just like,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: where can I stuff this?
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: In what pocket?
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: How many times can I go to the loo? You know,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: they call it the loo over there and then flush it.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Horrible food.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: Horrible.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: And they love it. They can't get enough of it.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: What's the big thing they like to eat? Bangers and mash?
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Bangers and mash.
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: Bangers and mash. Which, by the way, I thought would
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: be cool when I was over there to order.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Not so cool.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: It's not so cool.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: No.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: It's not so cool. No.
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: But I do have this problem with men who say
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: they can't cook.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: And women, too.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Because I have always felt.
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: You might not be the best cook in the world,
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: but if you can read, you can cook.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: What?
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: If you can read, you can cook. Then I'm dyslexic.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, we can test you for that.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I'll adopt an excuse.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: But you know what?
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: You're probably not a person who likes to follow directions.
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: I'm going to go with that one. Because if you
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: can follow directions in a book.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I get that.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: But it's more.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: But it's more than that these days.
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: With about the 30-somethings around there, maybe getting into 40,
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: say 20 to 40, the men in that generation, they
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: take pride in their cooking. I mean, I've heard them talk.
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: I'll go to a fantasy football draft.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: And they're talking about their recipes?
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: They'll be talking about something they made last week. It
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: is incredible. I love it. But let me tell you something.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: I'm all for it because it's good. It is really good.
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: I know a lot of people find it relaxing. So
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: I think people use it as, you know, a way
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: of unwinding from the day. They could just enjoy something.
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: It's creative.
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: Oh, my God. I'd shoot myself in the head.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: It's not.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: I guess it's not for everybody.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: I have a hard time warming up stuff.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I've always said my youngest son, he actually goes to
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: cooking school in the summer. Like that's his summer camp
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: to go learn to cook better.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: You're saying that like you're so disappointed.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Totally.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Not if you're the recipient of his hard work.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Well, I question whether he's even my son, to be
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: honest with you, because I don't have a cooking bone
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: in my body.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: Look.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I was birthed in 1954, and the greatest invention of
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: mankind came about in 1954. We've talked about this before,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the Swanson TV dinner. Oh, my God, the turkey, the mash,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: and all the stuffing, the meatloaf, the fried chicken, the
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Salisbury steak, the chicken pot pies.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: You can live on that. You don't ever have to
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: cook in your life. Come on. Why not? 1954.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: What a great year it was. And then slowly but surely,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: men started to fade away.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Remember the hungry man, Jack? You know, you pop it
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: in there. Be a tough guy.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: What happened?
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Now you got to put an apron on?
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: My son-in-law, who lifts weights every day, could kick both
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: our butts. But he also cooks. I just think there's
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: more of Renaissance men now. Look, I'm never going to
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: put down anybody who's cooking now because it's delicious. And
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: I want to eat it. So if the guys are
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: the best cooks these days, and I think that's becoming true,
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: if the guys are the best cooks these days, I
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: love it.
• 6:35
  Speaker 8: Me too.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: Praise to them because it's delicious.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I think this all started when you went to the diner.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: And let's face it, New Jersey is the king of diners.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: is the short order cook was almost always a guy.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: Almost always a guy.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: So right there, that was probably your first exposure because
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: you're not going to a high end five star restaurant.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: You know, you're going to a diner. And who's the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: short order cook? Nine out of 10 times a guy.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: So right away, it enculturates young men into thinking they
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: should be cooking. No, no, no, no.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: There are other things to do.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: I really think it was.
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: I really believe it was the celebrity chefs because they
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: all say that they.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: Watch them and they write down the recipes.
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: It's 2026. Are we really talking about how, wow, men
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: can cook?
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: I'm not. I'm all for it.
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: I've been experiencing it now for the last 15 years,
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: and it's great.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: It is tremendous.
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: I cannot rave enough about my son-in-law's cooking.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: How many things have men dominated in life, right? They
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: have given no equality to women.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: That's true. Everything they do, they do better.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Wrong.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: It's that they Bogart. They Bogart. Except birth.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: So we grew up eating mama and grandma's cooking, right?
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden guys have decided we're
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: going to take another thing over that women do better
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: than guys by being chefs and cooks. And I'm telling you,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: this is just another attempt by guys. Hey, look, guys
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden want to become females and play basketball, right?
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: They want to be.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: This is another attempt.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: What are you talking about? There is nothing to do.
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: That's the weirdest analogy I've ever heard.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Women have dominated that field for years, and we got
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: to steal it from them?
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: Basketball?
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: No, no.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Cooking. Cooking.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: You know, Curtis, I know you wanted to be on
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Dancing with the Stars.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Fine. There is another reality TV show called Worst Cook.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Worst cook. Oh, I'm game for that. Like I said,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I can cook to kill. Although my dad told me
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: a great story. He said, when you're out at sea,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: your best friend better be the chief steward, the head cook.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Because if you become friends with him, when you got
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: all the guys, you know, they're going in to eat
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: their food. You'll get the meatloaf with all the trappings,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: the good meatloaf. If he doesn't like you, he gives
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: you the olive loaf with no trappings. Say, hey, we
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: ran out of the meatloaf. So he goes, you got
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to be best friends. But notice, even on the ships,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: who were the cooks?
• 9:11
  Speaker 8: Men.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: Because they had to.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: They had nobody else for a long time. That was it.
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: Who were they going to get? I want to.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Hear from all these.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: How much of the cooking do you do in your house, Natalie?
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: I used to do a lot more. I think my
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: husband didn't like my cooking as much. I'm not sure
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: because now I'm a weekend cook.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: Oh, so he took.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: It over from you. He bogarted you.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: And more power to him.
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: I'm sure she fought it.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, go for it.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: But I did make a lovely brajol over the weekend.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Brajol.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: It was really good. Because my husband was working on Sunday.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: He refs.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Now, let me ask you a question. You know, Italians.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Most Brasio Italians, it's horse meat.
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: No.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: It was beef.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Gosh. Sorry.
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: Sorry.
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: You live in like an alternate universe.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: It does.
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Italians eat more horse meat in Argentines than any other
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: countries in the world.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Not in this country, I don't think.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: Is it legal?
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: I don't think so. Well, you're not sure.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Why don't you stick a fork in it, and if
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden it goes... You'll know the braziola's
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: horse meat.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: Another conspiracy.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: He's in a mood today.
• 10:24

• 10:51

• 12:31
  Speaker 6: online at ccrane.com. That's C-C-R-A-N-E.com.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: I'm a little.
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: Concerned about John Decker.
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: John Decker, WOR White House and Washington correspondent, host of
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: the podcast, The White House Briefing Room with John Decker.
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: By the way, To hear that podcast, and it's really great,
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: it can be found on the iHeartRadio app. John, have
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: you tried to use your White House access pass yet
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: since the ban?
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, absolutely. I was at the White House yesterday. My
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: hard pass works fine. But the hard passes for journalists
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: that work at three news organizations do not work right now. CNN, Politico,
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: and MSNOW. They have been banned, as you know, from
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: the White House by the president. A lawsuit filed yesterday,
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: and a hearing concerning that lawsuit will take place tomorrow morning.
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, just a quick follow-up. You're a constitutional attorney. I
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: know there was a famous case back in 1977 that
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: ruled that the White House can't do this.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: Where do you see this going?
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: Well, this is something that I think the White House
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: will lose on two grounds. One, due process grounds. The journalists,
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: the news organizations were not given notice, nor were they
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: given the option or opportunity to appeal this decision by
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: the president. So that's number one. The other one reason
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: is viewpoint discrimination. And that's what came out of that
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: 1977 case that you just cited, Larry, this is problematic.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: The president cannot just ban a news outlet or journalists
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: from a news outlet based upon what they're reporting. And
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: so on that ground as well, the president will lose
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: in the federal courts.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: John, the preview to the president's address before the UN
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: General Assembly this morning is that he's going to talk
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: about Iran and how we can't allow them to have
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon That's been done before by Bibi going
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: back to 2012. Is it possible the president might take
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to meet with the president of Iran who
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: is representing his country and will probably be sitting there
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: in the General Assembly watching our president's address to the world?
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: The president has not ruled that out, Curtis. So that
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: is a possibility for sure. The president has never shied
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: away from meeting with people that maybe other U.S. presidents
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: would not have met with, Kim Jong-un, to cite one example.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: But that is a possibility. I've seen his schedule. It's
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: jam-packed today with bilateral meetings. But I'm sure the president,
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: if he wanted to, could carve out time to meet
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: with his Iranian counterparts.
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: We're going to deal, coming up, with the president's visit
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: to Gracie Mansion to see Zoran Mamdani, and so we'll
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: get into the specifics of what happened at that point.
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: But I wanted to ask you, since you may have
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: been there when Mamdani was at the White House, I
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: don't know, but about this relationship, it's weird. They heavily
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: criticize each other, yet when they're together, they look like
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: long-lost friends.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a really interesting relationship. The third time that
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: they've met, first two times at the White House, yesterday
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: at Gracie Mansion. And I don't know, it's really interesting
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: in terms of the way they deal with one another,
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: even though they are so far apart politically from each
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: other on just about every issue you can think of.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: And yet yesterday, as you point out, Larry, they look
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: like they could, you know, have dinner together, go on
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: vacation together, whatever you want to talk about. They look
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: pretty comfortable, despite the fact they're so at odds with
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: one another on just about every domestic and foreign policy.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: John, let me take you back to your hood, which
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: is Washington, D.C., and this arch. President now says, oh,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: the arch, which I want built as quickly as possible,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: will house ammunition and drones? Well, Does this change by
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: the day as to what the purpose of this Arc
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: de Triomphe instead of Arc de Triomphe is going to be?
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: Well, we've seen this play out before. The president originally
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: spoke about a ballroom, and now it's a ballroom that
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: has security features. The president originally spoke about a huge arch,
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: an arch that would rival any other arch in the world.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: In fact, it would be the tallest in the world,
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: 250 feet. The president has given a new justification for
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: the arch, calling it a military complex because ammunition, he says,
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: would be stored in the arch. There would be snipers
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: on top of the arch. There would be drones that
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: could be launched from on top of the arch. Meanwhile,
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: there is a lawsuit that is aimed at stopping any
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: construction concerning this arch. And the interior secretary, Doug Burgum,
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: has said that construction could actually begin on that arch,
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: not far from Arlington National Cemetery, within the next two weeks.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: Tell me the logic in making that claim that it
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: has defensive purposes and that there's going to be snipers.
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: Is that to give it more credence? Is that to
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: make it more necessary? And does the money then come
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: from the Pentagon, if that's the case?
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, for all of those reasons, that is
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: the reason why the president is giving that new justification. Otherwise,
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: if it's just a tourist attraction, you would need money
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: coming from the U.S. Congress and authorization from Congress to
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: construct such a monument. Here, the president's saying, hey, this
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: is a military complex. We need this. It's a necessity.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: And for that reason, the president believes that he can
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: get that arch completed under that new justification.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Now, all of a sudden, out of nowhere in the
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: last month, as you've seen, John, The whole subject of
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: artificial intelligence has exploded across the world. Every other day,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: there are new stories, pro and con, pro and con.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: And the president, who's been very emphatic, he says it's
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: all fake news about the dangers of AI, but still
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: went ahead and says, well, I'm going to put together
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: what he called the artificial intelligence force, sort of like
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Space Force. with an artificial intelligence czar in charge. That's
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: all we heard. Has there been any movement to do that,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: especially in advance of his meeting after the General Assembly
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: later on with the president of Red China?
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, President Xi coming to the White House on Thursday
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: and the president and President Xi met a few months
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: ago in Beijing. I was at that meeting. I was
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: on that trip. And the issue of AI was not
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: near the top of the agenda when they met just
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: a few months ago. But now it is at the
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: top of their agenda when they meet on Thursday. And
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: I'll be in the pool, by the way, on Thursday
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: for that meeting. So the president, I think, trying to
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: listen to the critics who say that federal regulation of
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: the artificial intelligence industry is necessary. And that's the reason
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: why the president announced this AI force to perhaps try
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: to hold off any type of legislation from moving forward
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: in the House or the Senate.
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: Let me ask you about Iran right now. And I
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: have a couple of questions. First, just if you can
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: tell us what's going on with the Straits of Hormuz,
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: what's happening there But also, President Trump has said now
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: a few times that nothing's going to happen. Iran's not
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: going to cut a deal until after the midterms. That
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: seems to make a lot of sense if they've been
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: following how much, because they can't attack us, but they
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: could hurt Donald Trump.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: Well, I think that's true. I've asked the president that
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: very question in the Oval Office. Essentially, is Iran closing
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: down the Strait of Hormuz to impact you, to impact
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Republicans ahead of the midterms? And the president told me, yeah,
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: I think they are doing that. And maybe Iran would
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: be up for a deal after the midterms.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: I can't get inside their heads. I don't think anybody can.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: But it's pretty clear that between now and and November
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: the 3rd, there is likely not going to be any
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: movement in terms of ending that conflict, nor, Larry and Curtis,
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: will there be any movement in terms of opening up
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: the Strait of Hormuz to the level that it was
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: prior to this conflict, in which 130 cargo ships were
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: traveling through the Strait every day. Now, the number is
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: less than 30, and that's the reason for the high
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: gas prices, the high diesel prices that we're experiencing right
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: now all across the country.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Now, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia has acknowledged that
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: he made two calls to our president to seek some
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: military assistance as the Houthis are basically gobbling up territory
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: in Yemen and the Saudi-backed government is losing ground. Apparently,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: our president said no. He's going to have to address that, right,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: at the General Assembly meeting with the Saudi prince. Do
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: you think there'll be any movement on that or are
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: the Saudis pretty much on their own?
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: Well, as far as what I believe the crown prince
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: of Saudi Arabia was asking for, the answer is going
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: to be a no. And the reason being is because
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: what he's asking the U.S. to do is to get
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: involved in the Red Sea and perhaps have a direct
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: conflict with the Houthi rebels. And the president does not
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: want to risk American service members' lives on that front.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: And that's the reason why the U.S. is concentrating on
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: the Strait of Hormuz in terms of any type of
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: military action. So the president certainly, in just a few hours,
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: I believe at 9.55 a.m. is when he's scheduled to
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: address the U.N. General Assembly. And the number one item
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: that he'll talk about is this conflict, which is now
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: in its seventh month, the war with Iran and how
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: to end it and what the president is calling on
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: Iran to do in order to end this conflict.
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: John Decker, WOR White House correspondent and host of the podcast,
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: The White House Briefing Room with John Decker. You can
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: find that podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: John, thanks.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: Thanks a lot, Larry. Thanks, Curtis. Have a great day.
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: Perfectly imperfect.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Curtis Lewa and Larry Minty in the morning.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Guaranteed human. On 710WOR.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: And to Warner Wolf we go. The gridiron yesterday, we
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: saw the star of the New York Giants, quarterback Jackson Dart, get,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I would say, scissored up and down by the L.A.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Rams, and he had to hop off the field.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Now, Warner Wolf, I remember when Tom Brady was playing
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: for the New England Patriots, they seemed to have a
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady rule. You come anywhere near Tom Brady, flags
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: went out.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: Man, you couldn't touch the guy.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Our guy got, I mean, scissored there.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Come on, Warner.
• 23:49
  Speaker 8: No, that was a clean play. That was clean. Clean hit. And,
• 23:55
  Speaker 8: you know, you don't know. Dart suffered a medial collateral
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: ligament known as an MCL, a sprain. First series of
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: the game, left knee. Now, that's the leg a quarterback
• 24:11
  Speaker 8: plants on his foot. before throwing. I'm no doctor, but
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: I'll tell you what, depending on the severity of the injury,
• 24:19
  Speaker 8: which the MRI will show today, hopefully he'll miss only
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: the next two games against the Titans and Cardinals. And
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: I assume he'll have to wear a leg brace, which
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: would limit his running capacity. And if it's not, and
• 24:38
  Speaker 8: it's longer, the Giants likely will not have a winning
• 24:42
  Speaker 8: season without Dart and will not have a winning season
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: with Jameis Winston, who has seen his better days. And
• 24:52
  Speaker 8: with Winston's backup, unused third-string quarterback Jake Hainer, who last
• 24:58
  Speaker 8: played two years ago with the Saints, if possible, if
• 25:03
  Speaker 8: Dart is out long-term, then John Harbaugh will be on
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: the phone very quick with other teams looking for a quarterback.
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: Just one question in the strategy. Remember the Giants were trailing,
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: if you didn't stay up until 11-15. They were trailing
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: only 14-0 just before the half. They had a second
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: and five from the six, third and two from the three.
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: Where was Cam Scadaboo and his 300-pound blocking back, Patrick Picard,
• 25:35
  Speaker 8: instead of They gave the ball twice to Najee Harris,
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: and they had to settle for.
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: A field goal.
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: Meanwhile, as far as the Jets go, they beat themselves
• 25:46
  Speaker 8: Sunday by not taking advantage of a Green Bay team
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: who fumbled five times and had almost as many yardage
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: and penalties, 133, as they did in passing, 136, and
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: may have set a Packer record for most dropped passes ever.
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: which hit their receivers right in the numbers. And the
• 26:09
  Speaker 8: Jets were penalized 156 yards, only five yards shy of
• 26:13
  Speaker 8: the all-time Jet record. And Aaron Glenn must have gone
• 26:18
  Speaker 8: to the Herman Edwards School of Clock Management. Yeah, you
• 26:24
  Speaker 8: could laugh at that. That was clever, yeah. Using his three.
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: He uses three timeouts way too early in the first half,
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: depriving himself of a possible field goal just before the half.
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: And most coaches will tell you, if you win the
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: flip in overtime, you choose to kick off and see
• 26:46
  Speaker 8: what the other team does first. Glenn chose to receive
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: and had to punt. All right, changing the gears.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Can I just comment real quick? Boy, you're back to
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: being a curmudgeon again with the Giants and Jets. We
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: had one week of euphoria from you, Warner.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: I don't think he's alone. I think it's throughout the city.
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: Fairweather sportscast. Now, the suspicious college football coach of the week,
• 27:18
  Speaker 8: Oklahoma State, was a 56.5 point favorite over little Murray State.
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: But Oklahoma State led by only 52 points, 52 to nothing,
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: with just over a minute to play. Let the clock
• 27:33
  Speaker 8: run out, right? Wrong. Oklahoma State ran it in from
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: the 6-1, 59 to nothing, and beat the 56-and-a-half point spread. Why? Yeah, well,
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: the coach must have been on his own team and
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: gave the 56-and-a-half points. That's as far as the Yankees go.
• 27:54
  Speaker 8: Trailing by six with only seven to play, the Yanks
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: would almost have to sweep the four-game series here against
• 28:01
  Speaker 8: the Rays beginning today to win the division and get
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: the bye. And after the four-game series, the Yanks have
• 28:08
  Speaker 8: three with Baltimore. The Rays have three in Philadelphia. And
• 28:12
  Speaker 8: before you entirely blame poor decision-making Mets general manager David
• 28:20
  Speaker 8: Stearns for letting First baseman Pete Alonzo go to Baltimore,
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: who hit two more home runs last night, by the way,
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: now has 40 home runs and 108 RBIs, more than
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: any Met player. Well, where was Met owner Steve Cohen,
• 28:38
  Speaker 8: who could have easily overruled his general manager? This was
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: the worst Met move since the 77 Mets traded Tom
• 28:47
  Speaker 8: Seaver to the Reds and then... left him unprotected in
• 28:51
  Speaker 8: 1984 and he was picked up by the White Sox.
• 28:54
  Speaker 8: Perhaps Mr. Cohen should have stayed in the hedge fund business.
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: And this day... You could laugh at that.
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: Wait for permission. Warner's on a roll. He's on a roll.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: This day in sports, 48 years ago last week, September 1978,
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: 36-year-old Muhammad.
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: Ali regained his title... winning a 15-round decision over Leon
• 29:21
  Speaker 8: Spinks after losing his title to Spinks seven months earlier. Now,
• 29:27
  Speaker 8: many years later, I saw Muhammad Ali again. He looked
• 29:32
  Speaker 8: at me and said, How come I'm so pretty and
• 29:36
  Speaker 8: you're still so ugly? That was it.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Warner, let me tell you, this may have been your
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: finest sports broadcast ever since I came over and joined
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Larry at the hip.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: That was amazing. You were like on a roll. You
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: were on fire, Warner.
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: We'll see what you say next week.
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: I love the voice he did at the end. You
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: know he's an actor.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, man.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Look, his parents, vaudevillians, he goes to, he's in all
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: kinds of movies.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: That's Warner Wolfman! Anyway, Warner, same time, same place, next week.
