Hour 2: San Gennaro · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: I'm a little concerned about John Decker. John Decker, WOR
0:03
Speaker 1: White House and Washington correspondent, host of the podcast, The
0:07
Speaker 1: White House Briefing Room with John Decker. By the way,
0:09
Speaker 1: to hear that podcast, and it's really great, it can
0:12
Speaker 1: be found on the iHeartRadio app. John, have you tried
0:15
Speaker 1: to use your White House access pass yet since the ban?
0:19
Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely.
0:19
Speaker 3: I was at the White House yesterday. My hard pass
0:22
Speaker 3: works fine. But the hard passes for journalists that work
0:26
Speaker 3: at three news organizations, do not work right now. CNN, Politico,
0:31
Speaker 3: and MSNOW, they have been banned, as you know, from
0:34
Speaker 3: the White House by the president. A lawsuit filed yesterday,
0:38
Speaker 3: and a hearing concerning that lawsuit will take place tomorrow morning.
0:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, just a quick follow-up. You're a constitutional attorney. I
0:45
Speaker 1: know there was a famous case back in 1977 that
0:49
Speaker 1: ruled that the White House can't do this. Where do
0:53
Speaker 1: you see this going?
0:55
Speaker 3: Well, this is something that I think the White House
0:59
Speaker 3: will lose on two grounds. One, due process grounds. The journalists,
1:04
Speaker 3: the news organizations were not given notice, nor were they
1:06
Speaker 3: given the option or opportunity to appeal this decision by
1:10
Speaker 3: the president.
1:11
Speaker 4: So that's number one.
1:12
Speaker 3: The other one reason is viewpoint discrimination. And that's what
1:16
Speaker 3: came out of that 1977 case that you just cited, Larry,
1:21
Speaker 3: this is problematic. The president cannot just ban a news
1:24
Speaker 3: outlet or journalists from a news outlet based upon what
1:27
Speaker 3: they're reporting. And so on that ground as well, the
1:30
Speaker 3: president will lose in the federal courts.
1:33
Speaker 5: John, the preview to the president's address before the U.N.
1:36
Speaker 5: General Assembly this morning is that he's going to talk
1:39
Speaker 5: about Iran and how we can't allow them to have
1:44
Speaker 5: a nuclear weapon That's been done before by Bibi going
1:48
Speaker 5: back to 2012. Is it possible the president might take
1:53
Speaker 5: the opportunity to meet with the president of Iran who
1:57
Speaker 5: is representing his country and will probably be sitting there
2:01
Speaker 5: in the General Assembly watching our president's address to the world?
2:06
Speaker 3: The president has not ruled that out, Curtis. So that
2:09
Speaker 3: is a possibility for sure. The president has never shied
2:14
Speaker 3: away from meeting with people that maybe other U.S. presidents
2:18
Speaker 3: would not have met with, Kim Jong-un, to cite one example. But, yeah,
2:22
Speaker 3: that is a possibility. I've seen his schedule. It's jam-packed
2:25
Speaker 3: today with bilateral meetings. But I'm sure the president, if
2:28
Speaker 3: he wanted to, could carve out time to meet with
2:31
Speaker 3: his Iranian counterpart.
2:33
Speaker 1: We're going to deal coming up with the president's visit
2:37
Speaker 1: to Gracie Mansion to see Zoran Mamdani. And so we'll
2:41
Speaker 1: get into the specifics of what happened at that point.
2:43
Speaker 1: But I wanted to ask you, since you may have
2:47
Speaker 1: been there when Mamdani was at the White House, I
2:49
Speaker 1: don't know. But about this relationship, it's weird. They heavily
2:54
Speaker 1: criticize each other. Yet when they're together, they look like
2:58
Speaker 1: long lost friends.
3:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a really interesting relationship. The third time that
3:03
Speaker 3: they've met, first two times at the White House, yesterday
3:06
Speaker 3: at Gracie Mansion. And I don't know, it's really interesting
3:11
Speaker 3: in terms of the way they deal with one another,
3:13
Speaker 3: even though they are so far apart politically from each
3:16
Speaker 3: other on just about every issue you can think of.
3:19
Speaker 3: And yet yesterday, as you point out, Larry, they look
3:22
Speaker 3: like they could, you know, Have dinner together, go on
3:26
Speaker 3: vacation together, whatever you want to talk about. They look
3:29
Speaker 3: pretty comfortable, despite the fact they're so at odds with
3:33
Speaker 3: one another on just about every domestic and foreign policy.
3:36
Speaker 5: John, let me take you back to your hood, which
3:40
Speaker 5: is Washington, D.C., and this arch. President now says, oh,
3:46
Speaker 5: the arch, which I want built as quickly as possible,
3:49
Speaker 5: will house ammunition and drones.
3:53
Speaker 6: What?
3:54
Speaker 5: Does this change by the day as to what the
3:57
Speaker 5: purpose of this Arc de Triomphe instead of Arc de
4:01
Speaker 5: Triomphe is going to be?
4:05
Speaker 3: Well, we've seen this play out before. The president originally
4:08
Speaker 3: spoke about a ballroom, and now it's a ballroom that
4:10
Speaker 3: has security features. The president originally spoke about a huge arch,
4:16
Speaker 3: an arch that would rival any other arch in the world.
4:21
Speaker 3: In fact, it would be the tallest in the world,
4:22
Speaker 3: 250 feet. The president has given a new justification for
4:27
Speaker 3: the arch, calling it a military complex because ammunition, he says,
4:32
Speaker 3: would be stored in the arch. There would be snipers
4:35
Speaker 3: on top of the arch. There would be drones that
4:37
Speaker 3: could be launched from on top of the arch. Meanwhile,
4:40
Speaker 3: there's a lawsuit that is aimed at stopping any construction
4:44
Speaker 3: concerning this arch. And the interior secretary, Doug Burgum, has
4:48
Speaker 3: said that construction could actually begin on that arch, not
4:52
Speaker 3: far from Arlington National Cemetery, within the next two weeks.
4:56
Speaker 1: Tell me the logic in making that claim that it
4:59
Speaker 1: has defensive purposes and that there's going to be snipers.
5:03
Speaker 1: Is that to give it more credence? Is that to
5:06
Speaker 1: make it more necessary? And does the money then come
5:11
Speaker 1: from the Pentagon, if that's the case?
5:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, for all of those reasons, that is
5:16
Speaker 3: the reason why the president is giving that new justification. Otherwise,
5:21
Speaker 3: if it's just a tourist attraction, you would need money
5:25
Speaker 3: coming from the U.S. Congress and authorization from Congress to
5:29
Speaker 3: construct such a monument. Here, the president's saying, hey, this
5:33
Speaker 3: is a military complex. We need this. It's a necessity.
5:38
Speaker 3: And for that reason, the president believes that he can
5:41
Speaker 3: get that arch completed under that new justification.
5:45
Speaker 5: Now, all of a sudden, out of nowhere in the
5:47
Speaker 5: last month, as you've seen, John, The whole subject of
5:51
Speaker 5: artificial intelligence has exploded across the world. Every other day,
5:57
Speaker 5: there are new stories, pro and con, pro and con.
6:00
Speaker 5: And the president, who's been very emphatic, he says it's
6:03
Speaker 5: all fake news about the dangers of AI, but still
6:07
Speaker 5: went ahead and says, well, I'm going to put together
6:10
Speaker 5: what he called the artificial intelligence force, sort of like
6:14
Speaker 5: Space Force, with an artificial intelligence czar in charge. That's
6:20
Speaker 5: all we heard. Has there been any movement to do that,
6:23
Speaker 5: especially in advance of his meeting after the General Assembly
6:27
Speaker 5: later on with the president of Red China?
6:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, President Xi coming to the White House on Thursday
6:35
Speaker 3: and the president and President Xi met a few months
6:38
Speaker 3: ago in Beijing. I was at that meeting. I was
6:40
Speaker 3: on that trip. And the issue of AI was not
6:44
Speaker 3: near the top of the agenda when they met just
6:46
Speaker 3: a few weeks months ago, but now it is at
6:49
Speaker 3: the top of their agenda when they meet on Thursday.
6:52
Speaker 3: And I'll be in the pool, by the way, on
6:54
Speaker 3: Thursday for that meeting. So the president, I think, trying
6:57
Speaker 3: to listen to the critics who say that federal regulation
7:02
Speaker 3: of the artificial intelligence industry is necessary. And that's the
7:07
Speaker 3: reason why the president announced this AI force to perhaps
7:11
Speaker 3: try to hold off any type of legislation from moving
7:14
Speaker 3: forward in the House or the Senate.
7:17
Speaker 1: Let me ask you about Iran right now. And I
7:19
Speaker 1: have a couple of questions. First, just if you can
7:22
Speaker 1: tell us what's going on with the Straits of Hormuz,
7:24
Speaker 1: what's happening there. But also, President Trump has said now
7:28
Speaker 1: a few times that nothing's going to happen. Iran's not
7:32
Speaker 1: going to cut a deal until after the midterms. That
7:36
Speaker 1: seems to make a lot of sense if they've been
7:38
Speaker 1: following how much, because they can't attack us, but they
7:42
Speaker 1: could hurt Donald Trump.
7:44
Speaker 3: Well, I think that's true. I've asked the president that
7:47
Speaker 3: very question in the Oval Office. Essentially, is Iran closing
7:53
Speaker 3: down the Strait of Hormuz to impact you, to impact
7:56
Speaker 3: Republicans ahead of the midterms? And the president told me, yeah,
7:59
Speaker 3: I think they.
7:59
Speaker 4: Are doing that.
8:00
Speaker 3: And maybe Iran would be up for a deal after
8:03
Speaker 3: the midterms.
8:03
Speaker 4: I don't know.
8:04
Speaker 3: I can't get inside their heads. I don't think anybody can.
8:08
Speaker 3: But it's pretty clear that between now and and November
8:11
Speaker 3: the 3rd, there is likely not going to be any
8:13
Speaker 3: movement in terms of ending that conflict, nor, Larry and Curtis,
8:17
Speaker 3: will there be any movement in terms of opening up
8:21
Speaker 3: the Strait of Hormuz to the level that it was
8:24
Speaker 3: prior to this conflict, in which 130 cargo ships were
8:28
Speaker 3: traveling through the Strait every day. Now, the number is
8:31
Speaker 3: less than 30, and that's the reason for the high
8:33
Speaker 3: gas prices, the high diesel prices that we're experiencing right
8:37
Speaker 3: now all across the country.
8:39
Speaker 5: Now, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia has acknowledged that
8:42
Speaker 5: he made two calls to our president to seek some
8:45
Speaker 5: military assistance as the Houthis are basically gobbling up territory
8:51
Speaker 5: in Yemen and the Saudi-backed government is losing ground. Apparently,
8:56
Speaker 5: our president said no. He's going to have to address that, right,
9:02
Speaker 5: at the General Assembly meeting with the Saudi prince. Do
9:05
Speaker 5: you think there'll be any movement on that or are
9:07
Speaker 5: the Saudis pretty much on their own?
9:10
Speaker 3: Well, as far as what I believe the crown prince
9:13
Speaker 3: of Saudi Arabia was asking for, the answer is going to.
9:16
Speaker 4: Be a no.
9:17
Speaker 3: And the reason being is because what he's asking the U.S.
9:20
Speaker 3: to do is to get involved in the Red Sea
9:23
Speaker 3: and perhaps have a direct conflict with the Houthi rebels.
9:26
Speaker 3: And the president does not want to risk American service members'
9:29
Speaker 3: lives on that front. And that's the reason why the U.S.
9:34
Speaker 3: is concentrating on the Strait of Hormuz in terms of
9:39
Speaker 3: Any type of military action. So the president certainly in
9:43
Speaker 3: just a few hours, I believe at 9.55 a.m. is
9:46
Speaker 3: when he's scheduled to address the U.N. General Assembly. And
9:49
Speaker 3: the number one item that he'll talk about is this conflict,
9:53
Speaker 3: which is now in its seventh month, the war with
9:55
Speaker 3: Iran and how to end it and what the president
9:58
Speaker 3: is calling on Iran. to do in order to end
10:01
Speaker 3: this conflict.
10:02
Speaker 1: John Decker, WOR White House correspondent and host of the podcast,
10:06
Speaker 1: The White House Briefing Room with John Decker. You can
10:09
Speaker 1: find that podcast on the iHeartRadio app. John, thanks.
10:14
Speaker 3: Thanks a lot, Larry. Thanks, Curtis.
10:16
Speaker 4: Have a great day.
10:16
Speaker 1: We'll see if they last. But I'm pretty excited about
10:20
Speaker 1: this because I love Toys R Us. I used to love,
10:24
Speaker 1: you know, I got four kids, and I loved being
10:27
Speaker 1: able to go out and shop. That was one of
10:29
Speaker 1: my favorite things, shopping for toys. And there's 140 stores
10:34
Speaker 1: now that just reopened across the country, many in this area.
10:39
Speaker 1: And in some of the stores, they had lines when
10:43
Speaker 1: they were going to open with adults. The fascinating thing,
10:47
Speaker 1: and I guess this makes a lot of sense... 55%
10:51
Speaker 1: of the toys are bought for adults for adults.
10:55
Speaker 4: Now, are these triple X rated toys.
10:58
Speaker 5: That many men and women involve themselves in, you know,
11:03
Speaker 5: at these roadside, I guess you call them strip malls
11:07
Speaker 5: where you go in and you get sex toys. Those
11:10
Speaker 5: are the kind of toys that are being sold that
11:12
Speaker 5: would attract adults.
11:13
Speaker 1: The way your mind works.
11:15
Speaker 4: Oh, my.
11:17
Speaker 1: Have you been to a Toys R Us?
11:19
Speaker 5: Yeah.
11:20
Speaker 4: I had three sons.
11:21
Speaker 3: Okay.
11:22
Speaker 5: They would go there and they'd be grabbing everything off
11:24
Speaker 5: the shelf. The big one in Times Square, I took
11:27
Speaker 5: them there. That closed in like 2015 or so. Then
11:30
Speaker 5: the one on Flatbush Avenue closed. which was great, you know,
11:33
Speaker 5: the way it was laid out. It's become graffiti because,
11:35
Speaker 5: you know, they closed it down just about. That was
11:38
Speaker 5: when they went bankrupt. So you mean to tell me
11:40
Speaker 5: they've reopened and now they're offering toys that have more
11:44
Speaker 5: of an adult appeal?
11:47
Speaker 1: Well, it's not supposed to have an adult appeal. I'm
11:50
Speaker 1: not talking about sex toys.
11:51
Speaker 7: Oh, okay.
11:52
Speaker 4: I just wanted to.
11:52
Speaker 1: We're talking about, like, collectibles that adults remember from their
11:58
Speaker 1: childhood or another big one. Pokemon cards because they're investors.
12:06
Speaker 1: So they're looking for expensive Pokemon cards or ones that
12:09
Speaker 1: will become worth something.
12:11
Speaker 5: So in advance of the Christmas season, Larry, if you
12:15
Speaker 5: don't mind, I want to give you an assignment if
12:16
Speaker 5: you're capable of going to a Toys R Us event.
12:22
Speaker 5: And as you are the celebrity shopper of your family anyway,
12:25
Speaker 5: so that's something you do no matter what the venue,
12:28
Speaker 5: the place, the retail or wholesale establishment. And give us
12:31
Speaker 5: an idea of what kind of adult toys.
12:34
Speaker 8: They're not adult toys.
12:37
Speaker 1: My God.
12:38
Speaker 8: If he went to Toys R Us, I'd put in
12:40
Speaker 8: a cheap order. Get me some Silly Putty or Play-Doh.
12:44
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm here for a doll.
12:45
Speaker 4: Silly Putty.
12:46
Speaker 6: Right?
12:46
Speaker 4: Silly Putty. Two Silly Putties, please.
12:50
Speaker 1: No adult toys.
12:50
Speaker 6: Well.
12:51
Speaker 9: I know.
12:53
Speaker 1: Your mind went right to adult toys.
12:55
Speaker 4: You just said adult toys. I said adults.
12:58
Speaker 1: Were going to go there. I didn't say adult toys.
13:04
Speaker 1: What kind of dolls do you think they have? The
13:06
Speaker 1: blow-up dolls?
13:09
Speaker 5: Oh, that's just so that you can have a blow-up
13:11
Speaker 5: doll in the seat so that you can go in
13:14
Speaker 5: the multiple lane.
13:16
Speaker 4: You know, you get past the lanes.
13:18
Speaker 1: I don't think that's what most of them are used for.
13:20
Speaker 8: It was such a nice story, and it just went.
13:23
Speaker 7: I know.
13:23
Speaker 1: It was like bringing back our past.
13:25
Speaker 5: We have part two as our celebrity shopper, and you're
13:29
Speaker 5: the best at this.
13:30
Speaker 4: There's no doubt, Larry. You have the cred.
13:34
Speaker 5: Find one near you, go, and report back to us
13:37
Speaker 5: what kind of adult-oriented toys are being sold in the
13:41
Speaker 5: new reopening of Toys R Us.
13:43
Speaker 1: I can tell you already. I don't have to really
13:45
Speaker 1: go to one. And by the way, at Christmas time,
13:48
Speaker 1: I usually go the night before, the day before, to
13:50
Speaker 1: do all my Christmas shopping. And then I beg them
13:53
Speaker 1: to get back in the storeroom so I can get
13:55
Speaker 1: some of the gifts that I didn't think I could
13:57
Speaker 1: get to. Let's get some talkbacks.
14:00
Speaker 6: Curtis.
14:01
Speaker 2: You are an old fart. A man that can cook
14:04
Speaker 2: is a priceless asset.
14:06
Speaker 5: You love him even more.
14:09
Speaker 2: See?
14:09
Speaker 8: You love a man who can cook.
14:12
Speaker 4: No, that's not manly to me. I'm sorry.
14:14
Speaker 1: Old fart?
14:15
Speaker 5: Look, when I went to junior high school, you had
14:18
Speaker 5: a choice. Metal shop, wood shop, culinary. No way I'm
14:23
Speaker 5: going to put on the apron strength.
14:25
Speaker 4: Sorry.
14:25
Speaker 10: Okay.
14:26
Speaker 1: Can I get that part just cut so I can
14:28
Speaker 1: use it daily? Yeah, Curtis, you are an old fart.
14:33
Speaker 1: If you could get me that and just leave it
14:35
Speaker 1: in the machine.
14:37
Speaker 2: Curtis, with a mother named Francesca. You were eating Swanson dinners?
14:42
Speaker 1: Wow.
14:42
Speaker 2: You should be ashamed of yourself. I cannot believe it.
14:46
Speaker 2: My father came from Italy, Sicily.
14:48
Speaker 11: And you know what?
14:49
Speaker 2: He was one of the best cooks. He loved it.
14:52
Speaker 2: He was your man's man. He was proud of it.
14:56
Speaker 5: Well, no, if she called it pasta and sauce. Because
15:01
Speaker 5: if she called it pasta and sauce, she's no real Italian.
15:04
Speaker 5: It's macaroni and gravy. That'll be the true test as
15:07
Speaker 5: to whether her father was as good a chef from
15:11
Speaker 5: body as she claims.
15:13
Speaker 1: You're now going to question the people that called credibility?
15:18
Speaker 5: Did she call it pasta and sauce, uffa, or macaroni
15:21
Speaker 5: and gravy?
15:22
Speaker 6: Okay.
15:23
Speaker 1: We also talked about at the top of the show
15:26
Speaker 1: one-hit wonders, and of course you have some suggestions, some
15:29
Speaker 1: really good ones.
15:30
Speaker 5: And another great one-hit wonder, which is still unfortunately all
15:35
Speaker 5: too true, Eve of Destruction by Barry McGuire.
15:38
Speaker 6: One of the greatest.
15:40
Speaker 1: One-hit wonders, Benny Mardonis, Into the Night.
15:45
Speaker 11: Concerning the fiber optic cut in Philly, most major corporations
15:49
Speaker 11: and critical infrastructure usually have a redundant backup cable that's
15:54
Speaker 11: fed from a totally different direction for situations like this.
15:58
Speaker 11: When it gets cut in one location, the systems are
16:01
Speaker 11: still up and running because they're being fed.
16:02
Speaker 4: From a different one. It's a failure on multiple departments.
16:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you. And the systems were so outdated.
16:09
Speaker 1: They're trying to get the money to modernize all across
16:14
Speaker 1: the country, and they're having a little bit of trouble.
16:15
Speaker 1: But Sean Duffy, as you heard, is on the right track.
16:19
Speaker 1: Let's get the Gloria Albinger now. What's her name?
16:22
Speaker 6: Oh, Gloria.
16:23
Speaker 1: That's another song. Gloria, yes.
16:26
Speaker 8: It was definitely not a one-hit wonder. Laura Branigan had
16:29
Speaker 8: plenty of hits.
16:30
Speaker 10: But you know why Benny Mardone has never had a
16:32
Speaker 10: hit after that song? He could never sing again after that. Oh, well,
16:37
Speaker 10: thank you, Gloria. As somebody who does, I'm a choir
16:40
Speaker 10: director when I'm not doing this, believe it or not.
16:42
Speaker 10: And when I hear that song, I love that song,
16:45
Speaker 10: but it just hurts me to hear that scream.
16:46
Speaker 8: You know, the way he ruined his voice on that.
16:49
Speaker 1: What was that song? G-L-O-R-I-A.
16:51
Speaker 5: Gloria.
16:52
Speaker 4: Yeah.
16:53
Speaker 1: I think I got your number.
16:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, that one. That's why I said it.
17:01
Speaker 8: That's the only time you're ever going to hear that.
17:03
Speaker 10: Mostly cloudy today, cooler, a high of 64 degrees.
17:06
Speaker 8: In a few hours from now, President Trump will address
17:09
Speaker 8: the U.N. General Assembly.
17:10
Speaker 12: He's waking up at the Fifth Avenue property, and he'll
17:12
Speaker 12: make his way to the east side. He's slated to
17:14
Speaker 12: speak at 10 a.m. as he'll address world leaders talking
17:17
Speaker 12: about a number of issues, including the global economy amid
17:20
Speaker 12: the war with Iran, as well as concerns around AI. Now,
17:23
Speaker 12: a number of leaders are expected to be in attendance,
17:26
Speaker 12: and these are just some of the topics on the agenda,
17:28
Speaker 12: as many are dealing with urgent costs of climate change,
17:32
Speaker 12: soaring energy prices, and the human toll from this summer's
17:35
Speaker 12: heat waves to even wildfires.
17:38
Speaker 8: ABC's Phil Tate outside the Trump Tower in Manhattan.
17:41
Speaker 10: And because the U.N. is in session, it's a reminder
17:43
Speaker 10: this is another Gridlock Alert Day. Area airports could be
17:46
Speaker 10: playing catch-up today after yesterday's hours-long ground stop. Officials, including
17:51
Speaker 10: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, initially said an Amtrak construction crew
17:57
Speaker 10: cut a fiber-optic line while doing work in Newark. Amtrak
18:00
Speaker 10: says that's not the case. Either way, the ground stop
18:03
Speaker 10: affected all of the New York City airports. So if
18:06
Speaker 10: you watched the Giants game last night, you know it
18:08
Speaker 10: was not pretty. Quarterback Jackson Dart went down with a
18:11
Speaker 10: knee injury on the first drive. Soon, we'll learn how
18:15
Speaker 10: long Big Blue is going to be without its starting quarterback.
18:18
Speaker 13: Dart could have sprained his MCL, but number six isn't
18:21
Speaker 13: the only thing that's battered after Big Blue fell to
18:24
Speaker 13: the LA Rams 28-6. Jameis Winston took over for Dart
18:28
Speaker 13: and completed less than 50% of his passes, admitting the
18:31
Speaker 13: passing game was poor.
18:33
Speaker 6: When you know that a team is passing the ball,
18:36
Speaker 6: Third and long is advantage for the defense. So as offense, myself,
18:42
Speaker 6: just being more efficient on first and second down will
18:44
Speaker 6: allow all of us to be better.
18:46
Speaker 13: Meanwhile, Rams Matthew Stafford threw four touchdowns to go with
18:50
Speaker 13: almost 330 yards and an interception.
18:53
Speaker 8: Natalie Migliore.
18:55
Speaker 6: W.O.R.
18:55
Speaker 7: News.
18:56
Speaker 10: Monday was a good day for Mark Zuckerberg. A very
18:59
Speaker 10: good day. The meta CEO saw his estimated net worth
19:02
Speaker 10: rise by $ 25 billion in a single day as the
19:06
Speaker 10: company rolled out its new Muse AI assistant.
19:09
Speaker 8: Next news, 8 o'clock bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger
19:12
Speaker 8: on 710 W.O.R.
19:13
Speaker 4: Oh, up next, Warner Wolf.
19:15
Speaker 5: Jackson Dart gets jackknifed against the L.A.
19:20
Speaker 4: Rams.
19:21
Speaker 5: No Tom Brady rule in full effect. for our star giant.
19:26
Speaker 5: But right now, let's talk about what was in Vegas,
19:30
Speaker 5: and it was magnificent. The 2026 iHeart Radio Music Festival
19:37
Speaker 5: presented by Capital One. Watch all the moments you missed
19:41
Speaker 5: and the exclusive backstage clips you can't see anywhere else.
19:44
Speaker 5: Just tap the highlights tab as you listen to us
19:48
Speaker 5: in the iHeart app and get ready to relive the
19:52
Speaker 5: once in a lifetime moment starting October 1st on Disney
19:55
Speaker 5: Plus and Hulu.
19:56
Speaker 4: And to Warner Wolf we go.
19:59
Speaker 5: The gridiron yesterday we saw the star of the New
20:04
Speaker 5: York Giants quarterback Jackson Dart. get, I would say, scissored
20:11
Speaker 5: up and down by the L.A. Rams, and he had
20:15
Speaker 5: to hop off the field. Now, Warner Wolfe, I remember
20:20
Speaker 5: when Tom Brady was playing for the New England Patriots,
20:22
Speaker 5: they seemed to have a Tom Brady rule. You come
20:25
Speaker 5: anywhere near Tom Brady, flags went out. Man, you couldn't
20:27
Speaker 5: touch the guy. Our guy got, I mean, scissored there.
20:33
Speaker 4: Come on, Warner.
20:35
Speaker 7: No, that was a clean play. It was clean, clean hit. And,
20:41
Speaker 7: you know, you don't know. Dart suffered a medial collateral
20:47
Speaker 7: ligament known as an MCL, a sprain. First series of
20:53
Speaker 7: the game, left knee. Now, that's the leg a quarterback
20:56
Speaker 7: plants on his foot before throwing. I'm no doctor, but
21:01
Speaker 7: I'll tell you what, depending on the severity of of
21:04
Speaker 7: the injury, which the MRI will show today. Hopefully, he'll
21:09
Speaker 7: miss only the next two games against the Titans and Cardinals.
21:14
Speaker 7: And I assume he'll have to wear a leg brace,
21:18
Speaker 7: which would limit his running capacity. And if it's not,
21:23
Speaker 7: and it's longer, the Giants likely will not have a
21:27
Speaker 7: winning season without Dart and will not have a winning
21:31
Speaker 7: season with Jameis Winston who has seen his better days.
21:38
Speaker 7: And with Winston's backup, unused third-string quarterback Jake Hayner, who
21:44
Speaker 7: last played two years ago with the Saints, if possible.
21:48
Speaker 7: If Dart is out long-term, then John Harbaugh will be
21:53
Speaker 7: on the phone very quick with other teams looking for quarterbacks.
22:00
Speaker 7: Just one question in the strategy. Remember the Giants were trailing,
22:04
Speaker 7: if you didn't stay up until 11-15. They were trailing
22:07
Speaker 7: only 14-0 just before the half. They had a second
22:10
Speaker 7: and five from the six, third and two from the three.
22:14
Speaker 7: Where was Cam Scadaboo and his 300-pound blocking back, Patrick Picard? Instead,
22:22
Speaker 7: they gave the ball twice to Najee Harris, and they
22:25
Speaker 7: had to settle for a field goal.
22:28
Speaker 2: Meanwhile.
22:29
Speaker 7: As far as the Jets go, they beat themselves Sunday
22:33
Speaker 7: by not taking advantage of a Green Bay team who
22:36
Speaker 7: fumbled five times and had almost as many yardage and penalties, 133,
22:43
Speaker 7: as they did in passing, 136, and may have set
22:47
Speaker 7: a Packer record for most dropped passes which hit their
22:52
Speaker 7: receivers right in the numbers. And the Jets were penalized
22:56
Speaker 7: 156 yards, only five yards shy of the all-time Jet record.
23:02
Speaker 7: And Aaron Glenn must have gone to the Herman Edwards
23:06
Speaker 7: School of Clock Management. Yeah, you could laugh at that.
23:12
Speaker 7: That was clever, yeah. He uses three timeouts way too
23:18
Speaker 7: early in the first half, depriving himself of a possible
23:21
Speaker 7: field goal just before the half. And most coaches will
23:25
Speaker 7: tell you, if you win the flip in overtime, you
23:29
Speaker 7: choose to kick off and see what the other team
23:32
Speaker 7: does first. Glenn chose to receive and had to punt.
23:38
Speaker 7: All right, changing the gears.
23:41
Speaker 5: Can I just comment real quick? Boy, you're back to
23:43
Speaker 5: being a curmudgeon again with the Giants and Jets. We
23:46
Speaker 5: had one week of euphoria from you, Warner.
23:49
Speaker 1: I don't think he's alone. I think it's throughout the city.
23:55
Speaker 7: Fairweather sportscast. Now, the suspicious college football coach of the week,
24:04
Speaker 7: Oklahoma State, was a 56.5 point favorite over Little Murray State.
24:10
Speaker 7: But Oklahoma State led by only 52 points, 52 to nothing,
24:16
Speaker 7: with just over a minute to play. Let the clock
24:19
Speaker 7: run out, right?
24:20
Speaker 2: Wrong.
24:21
Speaker 6: Wrong.
24:21
Speaker 7: Oklahoma State ran it in from the 6-1, 59-0, and
24:26
Speaker 7: beat the 56.5-point spread.
24:28
Speaker 2: Why?
24:30
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, the coach must have been on his own
24:33
Speaker 7: team and gave the 56.5 points.
24:36
Speaker 4: Now, as far.
24:38
Speaker 7: As the Yankees go, trailing by six with only seven
24:42
Speaker 7: to play, the Yanks would almost have to sweep the
24:45
Speaker 7: four-game series here against the Rays beginning today to win
24:49
Speaker 7: the division and get the bye. And after the four-game series,
24:53
Speaker 7: the Yanks have three with Baltimore. The Rays have three
24:56
Speaker 7: in Philadelphia. And before you entirely blame poor decision-making Mets
25:04
Speaker 7: general manager David Stearns for letting first baseman Pete Alonzo
25:09
Speaker 7: go to Baltimore, who hit two home runs last night,
25:12
Speaker 7: by the way, now has 40 home runs and 108
25:16
Speaker 7: RBIs and more than any Met player.
25:20
Speaker 6: Oh, man.
25:21
Speaker 7: Well, where was Met owner Steve Cohen, who could have
25:25
Speaker 7: easily overruled his general manager? This was the worst Met
25:30
Speaker 7: move since the 77 Mets traded Tom Seaver to the
25:34
Speaker 7: Reds and then left him unprotected in 1984 and he
25:38
Speaker 7: was picked up by the White Sox. Perhaps Mr. Cohen
25:42
Speaker 7: should have stayed in the hedge fund business. And this
25:46
Speaker 7: day in... You could laugh at that.
25:51
Speaker 1: Wait for permission.
25:51
Speaker 4: He's on a roll. He's on a roll.
25:55
Speaker 7: This day in sports, 48 years ago last week, September 1978,
25:59
Speaker 7: 36-year-old Muhammad Ali regained his title, winning a 15-round decision
26:06
Speaker 7: over Leon Spinks after losing his title to Spinks seven
26:11
Speaker 7: months earlier. Now, many years later, I saw Muhammad Ali again.
26:17
Speaker 7: He looked at me and said, how come I'm so
26:21
Speaker 7: pretty and you're still so ugly? That was it.
26:31
Speaker 4: Warner.
26:32
Speaker 5: Let me tell you, this may have been your finest
26:35
Speaker 5: sports broadcast ever since I came over and joined Larry
26:41
Speaker 5: at the hip.
26:41
Speaker 4: That was amazing. You were like on a roll. You
26:44
Speaker 4: were on fire, Warner.
26:47
Speaker 7: We'll see what you say next week.
26:49
Speaker 1: I love the voice he did at the end. You
26:51
Speaker 1: know he's an actor.
26:53
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, man.
26:54
Speaker 5: Look, his parents, Vaudevillians, he goes to, he's in all
26:59
Speaker 5: kinds of movies.
27:00
Speaker 4: That's Warner Wolfman! Anyway, Warner, same time, same place, next week.
27:08
Speaker 1: Coming up next, Natalie Migliore's Beat on the Street. What
27:12
Speaker 1: are people talking about at the San Gennaro Festival? Were
27:16
Speaker 1: you there again, Curtis? Oh, definitely with Natalie.
27:19
Speaker 5: Oh, it was packed and people were coming over to
27:22
Speaker 5: WOR and they're leaving Israel First Radio at WABC.
27:27
Speaker 1: That's coming up next, Natalie.
27:30
Speaker 14: Now, it's 710 WOR's Beat on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
27:36
Speaker 2: Wow.
27:37
Speaker 5: From the streets of the San Gennaro Festival that continues
27:41
Speaker 5: until Sunday. It was me and Natalie Migliore there yesterday.
27:46
Speaker 4: And boy, it was packed.
27:48
Speaker 5: Because remember, Yom Kippur meant a lot of people. were
27:51
Speaker 5: not working because it was the Jewish holiday, not that
27:54
Speaker 5: they were Jews there.
27:55
Speaker 4: But Gentiles.
27:57
Speaker 1: I'm sure there were some.
27:59
Speaker 4: I'm not ratting anybody out.
28:01
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see the movie. I heard that
28:03
Speaker 1: she was videotaping the entire time.
28:06
Speaker 13: Yeah, not only that, we tried some Zeppole. Curtis treated
28:11
Speaker 13: me to some Zeppole. That was the treat at the
28:13
Speaker 13: end of him shaking hands every three seconds. And me
28:17
Speaker 13: interviewing people about what's just been going on recently regarding
28:21
Speaker 13: the Italian American community.
28:23
Speaker 8: Here in New York.
28:24
Speaker 13: And if you're wondering what is going on. in the
28:28
Speaker 13: Italian-American community. Well, it's the San Gennaro Festival, so we
28:33
Speaker 13: had a grand old time doing that. But also, there's
28:36
Speaker 13: been a lot coming out of it because one of
28:38
Speaker 13: the more recent issues is how Mayor Mondani leaving the
28:42
Speaker 13: area off the map of the city's immigrant enclaves. If
28:46
Speaker 13: you remember earlier this summer, that was a bit of
28:48
Speaker 13: an issue. So as people were in a very good mood,
28:53
Speaker 13: we brought it down a little bit because the Italian-Americans
28:56
Speaker 13: from New York Larry Curtis, you should know this by now.
28:59
Speaker 8: No mincing words here.
29:01
Speaker 1: Well, I can tell you, I feel it's a complete disgrace.
29:05
Speaker 1: I mean, these are the people that were here first.
29:08
Speaker 1: They built this space.
29:10
Speaker 14: Disrespectful.
29:11
Speaker 1: You know, doing something like that to us. We've been
29:14
Speaker 1: here a hundred years with a festival like this. We
29:18
Speaker 1: kind of built New York and.
29:20
Speaker 4: I don't know.
29:21
Speaker 1: I hope we all figure it out soon.
29:23
Speaker 9: He's deliberately trying to change the history of New York
29:26
Speaker 9: City to match his political agenda because he only cares
29:30
Speaker 9: about himself.
29:31
Speaker 4: It's a shame.
29:32
Speaker 6: It's a shame.
29:32
Speaker 1: This is a New York institution, and it's a shame
29:36
Speaker 1: they took.
29:36
Speaker 4: Off the list.
29:37
Speaker 8: Now, Larry, who sounds more Italian-American?
29:40
Speaker 13: To you out of the whole list of people?
29:43
Speaker 1: As you've been talking, you've gotten to be more and
29:46
Speaker 1: more Italian-American during this story.
29:48
Speaker 8: I was with my people!
29:52
Speaker 13: Now, earlier this summer, the mayor had said he didn't
29:55
Speaker 13: make the list. He just updated it from Mayor Adams' administration,
30:00
Speaker 13: saying it was originally left off the list anyway.
30:02
Speaker 8: So now.
30:04
Speaker 13: Okay, the organizers of the Columbus Day Parade invited Mamdani
30:08
Speaker 13: to march with them. Now, the mayor has said, if
30:12
Speaker 13: you remember, he is not going to be the mayor
30:14
Speaker 13: of parades. Remember, he said he wouldn't attend all these
30:18
Speaker 13: marches and parades. But what do Italian New Yorkers think
30:22
Speaker 13: of just the group extending the invite?
30:26
Speaker 4: You want to know something?
30:27
Speaker 14: It's showing that we are a race of people that
30:31
Speaker 14: are loving, we're forgiving, you do your thing, just don't
30:34
Speaker 14: step on anybody's toes.
30:36
Speaker 5: I mean, I think everyone's welcome to Columbus Day, but
30:39
Speaker 5: I think there's plenty of factors for why he shouldn't
30:42
Speaker 5: go in light.
30:42
Speaker 4: Of a lot of the current circumstances.
30:44
Speaker 9: Disgracia, I think it's an embarrassment because when somebody tries
30:50
Speaker 9: to downgrade who you are to that low of a level,
30:55
Speaker 9: Why would you want them there?
30:56
Speaker 7: I wouldn't.
30:58
Speaker 8: I mean, he should go.
31:00
Speaker 4: He should go.
31:01
Speaker 8: I mean, he should go to every single parade.
31:03
Speaker 6: He's got to show up.
31:04
Speaker 13: If he wants to be the mayor of New York,
31:05
Speaker 13: he needs to show up and not just be the
31:07
Speaker 13: mayor of his people.
31:09
Speaker 1: Now, many times you go out in the street, and
31:11
Speaker 1: you come back, and you go, I'm having a hard
31:13
Speaker 1: time getting anybody. It sounds like there, people lined up.
31:18
Speaker 1: They wanted to say what they had to say.
31:20
Speaker 8: Well, people lined up to meet Curtis, and then I
31:22
Speaker 8: was like.
31:22
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm with Curtis, and we'd.
31:26
Speaker 13: Love your opinion.
31:27
Speaker 4: My favorite person.
31:29
Speaker 8: My favorite part was the background music.
31:31
Speaker 5: I know.
31:31
Speaker 12: I know.
31:32
Speaker 13: It was like there was not one quiet corner.
31:35
Speaker 8: Then we stopped these people. You finally stopped these people.
31:37
Speaker 13: I was not just doing video for us.
31:40
Speaker 8: I was like the designated picture taker for Curtis. No
31:44
Speaker 8: one knew who I was, which was awesome. And they
31:46
Speaker 8: were just like, oh, you're with him?
31:48
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, I'm just waiting for my sepulies.
31:53
Speaker 4: And that was cool.
31:54
Speaker 8: That was really fun. So we got to interview a
31:57
Speaker 8: bunch of people who wanted to shake Curtis's hand. He's
32:00
Speaker 8: the celebrity everywhere we go.
32:02
Speaker 13: And maybe to give the mayor a better understanding of
32:06
Speaker 13: who we are as a people, the Italian Americans. Here
32:10
Speaker 13: are just some reasons you can't take away the pride
32:14
Speaker 13: of being an Italian American, especially here in New York.
32:18
Speaker 4: The food, you know, that plant parm.
32:21
Speaker 14: You can't get it anywhere but homemade, and that's, you know,
32:24
Speaker 14: my father makes it great.
32:25
Speaker 1: Everybody's looked out for one another.
32:27
Speaker 8: You got a problem, I got a problem.
32:30
Speaker 14: My father came here from Italy in 1928, and he
32:33
Speaker 14: came with nothing in his pocket, his whole family. I
32:36
Speaker 14: think they had 20 cents between the bunch of them,
32:39
Speaker 14: and he worked his way up. Everybody in the family
32:42
Speaker 14: worked their way up, and they showed you what it was,
32:45
Speaker 14: hard labor, hard working with your hands just to provide
32:50
Speaker 14: for the family.
32:51
Speaker 8: Now, let me tell you something.
32:52
Speaker 13: We were two different generations, Dennis and I, the guy
32:55
Speaker 13: who was just speaking. My dad isn't off the boat.
32:59
Speaker 13: My grandfather was. But when you talk to people like that,
33:02
Speaker 13: you just connect. Same thing. My dad gave everything for us,
33:07
Speaker 13: in a sense, and taught me what hard work is.
33:09
Speaker 13: That's why when I go out with a microphone and
33:10
Speaker 13: chase after people, Curtis, it's more fun than what my.
33:13
Speaker 4: Dad did, I think.
33:15
Speaker 1: And you were with your people. I can hear the
33:17
Speaker 1: language coming out more and more.
33:19
Speaker 13: Thanks for sending us out.
33:21
Speaker 1: Natalie Migliore is going to be back tomorrow morning at 7.50. Well,
33:25
Speaker 1: what a meeting yesterday. A love fest between Trump and
33:29
Speaker 1: Mom Donnie. But guess what happened today? We'll tell you
33:32
Speaker 1: next after the 8 o'clock news.
