Hour 3: Mamdani and Trump · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You saw the president of the United States walking out
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: of Gracie Mansion side by side with Mayor Zora Mondami.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: They had met in what they call the yellow room there.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Both their chiefs of staff were at their side. But
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: when they came out, they went right to the podium. Originally,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the president was not going to speak, but he decided, no,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go out there and speak to the press.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: And instead of there being the seal of the President
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: of the United States on the podium, there was the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: biggest seal I've ever seen of any mayor. I mean,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: it was gigantic. It was like the size of a
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: sewer cap. And it said the mayor of the city
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: of New York. And it truly was a love fest.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: This is round three. The New York Post itself, probably
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the biggest critic of Zoran Mandami, called it a love fest.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: And they got into talking about the real reason that
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Trump was there.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: We'll get to that momentarily.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: But remember, Larry, what I've always said, I don't trust
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: any politicians, none, Republicans, Democrats, none, because they're backstabbers and liars,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: and they'll lie at a moment's notice. So here, this
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: great meeting takes place. The mayor's happy. President Trump is happy.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: They leave company. The president goes to meet Macron. at
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the Trump Tower, got nowhere near the coverage, obviously, than
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: his meeting with Mondami. And Mondami goes and sits for
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: an interview with CNN.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden revives the arrest for
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Bibi Netanyahu that he always wanted to do, as Bibi
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: will be coming in on Thursday speaking and then turning
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: around and leaving fresh.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: This is a fresh interview. Could I hear that audio tape?
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just waiting.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Sure, no problem.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: About the way that I see the world, and I
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: always owe New Yorkers that honesty. When it comes to
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Benjamin Netanyahu, I have described him as I believe him
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: to be, a war criminal and an architect of a
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: horrific genocide of the Palestinian people. And I've also been
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: honest with New Yorkers that New York City does not
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: have the authority to carry out the ICC's warrant, which,
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: as you said, has been issued for Prime Minister Netanyahu.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: And the thing is, I know the New York Post
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: and the New York Times made a big deal about this.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: They both put out stories. They put out alerts about this.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: This is nothing new. This is what he's been saying
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: all along. And when he backtracked on the fact that
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: he didn't have the power to arrest Netanyahu, he said
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: he should be at the Hague. How many times has
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: he said that? He said he should be arrested, if
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: not by the city, by the feds.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Because what we want to see, and we've been talking
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: about this today, is a faith in our politics, a
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: faith in accountability. You know, I recently met the mayor
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: of The Hague here at U20. And the key thing
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: he kept emphasizing to all of us was the importance
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: of the rule of law. And if the International Criminal
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Court deems someone worthy of an arrest because of a
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: violation of those laws, then who are we to say
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: that anyone should be above that? And I think very
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: clearly that everyone should be held accountable to it.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: We can because we're the United States and we're not
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: part of The Hague or the International Court. So he's
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: safe in this country. He knows that when he comes here.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: And he has huge support in New York and among
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: most of the country. At least Israel does if he's
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: lost some. But it would be an international crisis disaster
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: if we arrested Netanyahu. It's a ridiculous.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Thing to say.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Well, first off, he talks about it on Yom Kippur,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the high holiday for Jews. Bibi can't respond. Jews are
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: not able to respond. It's a high holiday. Number two,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: why didn't CNN then say, well, you know, also you're
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: hosting the president of Iran that is guilty of killing
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: thousands of his own people, hanging critics at the gallows
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and torturing people. That's what I would have done as
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: a CNN reporter. Why aren't you making a big deal
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: about the president of Iran, who's also going to be
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: at this General Assembly meeting? Sidebar is the president may
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: be meeting with him. So it was incumbent upon that
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: CNN journalist to turn the table and say, well, what
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: about Iran?
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: But of course not.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: No, CNN loves Mamdani, and CNN probably agrees that Netanyahu
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: should be arrested, but that's a great point. And I
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: will tell you this, when the president of Iran comes here,
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: I hope, because New York will look silly, if you're
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: going to protest Netanyahu, you certainly should be protesting Iran.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: the president of Iran when he shows up.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: There will.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: It'll be a minimal protest, though, compared to the thousands
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that will gather at Bryant Park on Thursday and then
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: march to the U.N. Meantime, the big reason for the meeting,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and this is what people need to understand, why they're
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: getting along so well. The first time after he won
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the mayoral election, and then he returned to the White House, remember,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: in February, for one specific reason, to talk about building
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: housing in New York City with the help of the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: federal government, and this time when the president decided to
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: follow up on Zoran's invitation to come to Gracie Manchin.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: There is a project, it's called the Sunnyside Yards Project,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: In order to build housing there, they're hoping for 12,000 units,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: it would require a lot of federal money, close to
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: $ 21 billion. But you have to build a platform over
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the rail yard. Anyone who's ever taken the 7 train,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: either to the U.S. Open or to Citi Field, you
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: look on both sides as you pass into Queens and
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: you can see the Amtrak trains, New Jersey Transit trains,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Long Island.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Railroad They're all houses. So you have to build.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: This gigantic concrete platform that will make each unit that
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: gets built cost about $ 2 million per unit.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: You say, wow, that's a lot of money, right? Oh, Natalie,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: you woke up there.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: We originally were going to try to put a platform
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: over the West Side Yards, which is south of Jacob
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Javits Convention Center. They house the trains. It was too expensive.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: This was during the de Blasio years. You couldn't get
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: to private capital. You couldn't get to federal money. You
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: couldn't get to city or state money. Way too expensive.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: This is what Donald Trump wants. Because he is a
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: friend of builders and developers and realtors and the construction unions.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: They were very supportive of him and have been regularly.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Zoran Mandami wants housing because he hasn't provided any housing yet.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: He's promised New Yorkers, I'm going to provide affordable housing.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: So if he can get the federal dollars, $ 21 billion,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: that's a lot of money, but it would have to
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: be allocated through the city. Then he comes out and
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: he says, hey, I got affordable housing. Donald Trump then
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: rewards all of his supporters because there's 30,000 construction jobs. Obviously,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of money that would go towards the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: construction companies, the developers, the realtors. So it's a win-win
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: for both. And you know what this is the result of?
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I spent so much time on the campaign about the
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: city of yes. The city of yes was the proposition
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: that barely passed on the back of the ballot, which
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: meant from now on, If you want to build anything
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: in any neighborhood, you don't have to go to a
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: community board. You don't have to get zoning permits. You
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: don't have to meet with elected officials. As long as
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: you have a plan, you go to City Hall. If
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: City Hall signs off on it, there goes your construction project.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: So Adams was for that. Cuomo was for it. I
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: was against it. And if you remember that last debate,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Who vacillated? Zoran Mandami. He said, oh, I'm open for
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: further discussion. And the day before the vote, he asked
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: his supporters, please vote yes on the city of yes.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: And that's what would enable a project like this.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Let's leave the last debate for a second and go
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: to what happened yesterday, if that's okay, because it's important
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: to hear what they said yesterday. And it's important to
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: also figure out What is going on between them? Because
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: it was a love fest. And it seemed to me
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: and I wonder if people listening think this. Mamdani was
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: a little almost subservient to Trump. You know, he kept
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: calling his Mr.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: President.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Do you want to speak first? Do you want to go?
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: He kept moving out of the way and. This is
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: him talking about exactly what you were saying about the
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Sunnyside project.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: We've agreed to set up a new level of that
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: conversation between our housing and operations team at City Hall
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: and the White House team, because what we're speaking about
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: is 12,000 homes, 30,000 jobs, the prospect of an entire
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: new neighborhood in a city where housing is the number
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: one cost.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: So he said that they're going to be meeting with
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: the White House and have continuous meetings with the White House.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: So this is happening.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: The mayor brought that up, the possibility of doing Sunnyside Yards.
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: It's a very, I would say that was a very
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: federal-oriented job. You're going to need a lot of federal
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: approvals and probably some federal money to do it, but
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: it's always been a great location.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: I owned a building in Sunnyside. It was a great building.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: I know it very well.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so he owned a building there. He wants to
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: be part of the development of that. This is going
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: to happen. One last thing.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: That he said. One problem.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Nobody in Sunnyside wants it. The elected officials don't want it.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: It sounds like it's going to happen. Well, I'm telling
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: you that the old way would have prevented that. So basically,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: you have developers who are going to make a lot
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: of money, friends of Trump, and Zoran Mandami, who's going
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: to get 12,000 apartments that will never be affordable.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: So it's going to happen. But, they won't be affordable. Oh,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. I mean, it sounds like it's going
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: to happen. It matters in the end, yes. Do you
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: trust any of that? I'm not trusting anybody. I'm just
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: saying that I can read the tea leaves. This is
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: going to happen. If the feds want it and the
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: mayor wants it, it's going to happen. You like Scott Jennings, right?
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: I do.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: This is what he said on CNN, right?
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Do you agree, Scott, with Trump that Zoran has great potential?
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Hold on.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Before you get to that, let's play him saying that.
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: I certainly hope he will be a great mayor.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: You have to understand, I want what's good for New York.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: I want what's good for the country. So if I
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: had a choice of having him be a bad mayor
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: or a horrible mayor.
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: I don't want that. I want him to be a
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: great mayor, and he's certainly got potential.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: There you go. There's the potential line.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: So Scott Jennings was asked that.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: As you know, he's the, I guess you could call
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: him the token MAGA Republican on the CNN team. He said, oh, yeah,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: he has the potential to bring about the downfall of America.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: So you see, the president can say these things, but
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: you can't start labeling people Islamist, communist, saying.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: They're going to lead to the downfall of America. And
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: then you elevate this one guy.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: I don't know if he's elevating him because he's still
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: going to blast him tomorrow. And by the way, Mamdani
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: is still going to blast Trump tomorrow. He just sees
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: an opportunity and he sees an opportunity tomorrow. to create
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: some jobs. He sees an opportunity to build, which he
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: loves to build. And Mamdani sees an opportunity. So it's
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: a win-win for the both of them. So, yeah, I mean,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: we'll see. But I absolutely believe it's going to happen.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: I think you can say follow the money, right? For
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: both sides.
• 11:41
  Speaker 8: Sure.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Follow the money.
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: Sure.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: We'll see.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Don't trust any of them. Anyway, up next, CDs are
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: making a comeback. Plus a chance to see Kenny G
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: up next. Meantime, Alicia Keys and friends are joining the
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: 2026 Global Citizen Festival lineup. They join previous announced performers, Ms.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Lauren Hill and Wyclef Jean. Lenny Kravitz, John Legend, Laney Wilson,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: and many others with you, Jackman, hosting. That's Saturday, September
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: 26th on the Great Lawn in Central Park. That's next Saturday.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Tickets are free and can be earned by taking action.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Download the Global Citizen app for more information. So this
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: is crazy. How many CDs do you think you have
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: in your house? Music CDs?
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I'd say probably about four or five.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Is that all?
• 12:35
  Speaker 9: I have a box in my basement. We must have
• 12:37
  Speaker 9: at least 150.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I think I have a thousand.
• 12:40
  Speaker 10: Oh!
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, I used to buy them all the time.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: I have boxes. You too, Crash? I have a lot
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: of them. Guess what? They're making a comeback. There you go.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: He got excited about it. I'm excited about it. Sales
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: jumped 16% to 16.3 million units in the first half
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: of 2026. United States CD revenue jumped 58% in the
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: first half of 2026, hitting 171 million. This is a
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: huge growth because Gen Z and the millennials now want
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: music CDs.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Well, I have more cassettes than I have CDs, and
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: it's too bad I got rid of my 8-track collection
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: because that preceded both of them. So will those two
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: be making a comeback too, cassettes and 8-track?
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: I don't have any information on that.
• 13:31
  Speaker 10: Wow. Sorry.
• 13:33
  Speaker 9: You know, our resident Gen Z-er, Chris, our associate producer,
• 13:37
  Speaker 9: he just told me he has 25 CDs in his car,
• 13:41
  Speaker 9: mostly which he's purchased in the past five years. I
• 13:43
  Speaker 9: didn't even know cars had CD players anymore.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: I don't think it does. Maybe he has an old car.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Listen to this. Roughly 50% of young buyers, Gen Z
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: and millennials, don't have a functioning CD player.
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: What?
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: Wait a minute.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: They treat CDs as lifestyle commodities.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, stop it.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Room aesthetics or badges that they're super fans of super
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: fan status. They are insane.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: It's like having your old subway token. You can't use it.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: You just sort of put it up somewhere in your house.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: I have faith, though.
• 14:20
  Speaker 9: Chris does have a CD player, so I have faith
• 14:22
  Speaker 9: in the Gen Z-ers.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: I'm going to try to sell my CDs online now.
• 14:27
  Speaker 9: Good for you.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Could I start making some money?
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: Of course.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: Oh, you too?
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Chris just... I'm going to. I will. I promise. I
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: just wanted to hear what Crash had to say. He
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: nodded his head and then was silent. Now, let's get
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: to some talkbacks.
• 14:44
  Speaker 11: Man, it's a dirty day. End of the night, it's
• 14:47
  Speaker 11: about a guy and a 16-year-old girl. Okay, you're talking
• 14:52
  Speaker 11: about the Toys at Toys R Us. And I'm going
• 14:54
  Speaker 11: to tie my one-hit wonder into Afternoon Delight by the
• 15:00
  Speaker 11: Starland Vocal Band. So it's a big three-pack there. Mardonis
• 15:04
  Speaker 11: and the 16-year-old, Toys R Us, and the Afternoon Delight
• 15:08
  Speaker 11: by Starland Vocal Band.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: All right, let's get to another talkback real quick.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know why one has to do with
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: the other.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: It's great you guys are reporting this, but I don't
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: think there's too many Amish people at the airport.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: What the heck was that about? Did we talk about
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Amish people at the airport?
• 15:28
  Speaker 9: Well, we were talking about the measles outbreak and.
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: Then the vaccines.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: No, they actually have traced somebody to the airport. That's
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: why they're talking about a specific time. And there's not
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: all Amish people that have it in the airport.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: The last time I was in the airport, the lounge here,
• 15:45

  Speaker 7: there's a small political stink over a big stink at
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: a park in Staten Island.
• 18:11
  Speaker 13: Everyone seems to agree that something is causing a big
• 18:14
  Speaker 13: stink at Staten Island's Clove Lakes Park, and it's been
• 18:17
  Speaker 13: there for years. Borough President Vito Fusilla and State Senator
• 18:21
  Speaker 13: Andrew Lanza say it's bad piping spewing sewage into a
• 18:25
  Speaker 13: waterway connected to Clove Lake. City Parks Department agrees there's
• 18:29
  Speaker 13: a problem. The lake's been closed after testing, but the
• 18:32
  Speaker 13: department also says there aren't any sewer lines flowing into
• 18:36
  Speaker 13: the lake, so it's not a bad pipe problem. Vassella's
• 18:39
  Speaker 13: calling for a task force to fix it. Looks like

  Speaker 3: as you listen to us in the iHeart app. And
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: get ready to relive the once-in-a-lifetime moments starting October 1st
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: on Disney Plus and on Hulu. All right, let's bring
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: in Jimmy Fallon, host, 9 to Midnight of Fox Across
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: America with Jimmy Fallon, and host of the Fox News
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Saturday Night with Jimmy Fallon on the Fox News channel. Jimmy,
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: I'm glad you're here today because I need you to
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: explain to me this love affair between Zoram Mamdani and
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump. I mean, he calls him a communist. Trump
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: calls Mamdani a communist. Mamdani calls Trump a fascist. And
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: yet they get together. It's like a love story.
• 20:40
  Speaker 10: Well, you know, you're kind of missing the larger point.
• 20:42
  Speaker 10: It's UN week.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 20:44
  Speaker 10: And there's so many hookers in town that love is
• 20:47
  Speaker 10: just in the air.
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: You guys, you got to get it.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 20:52
  Speaker 10: That's why you bring on a cab driver.
• 20:55
  Speaker 8: They've been swept up in this lady in the Trump moment.
• 20:59
  Speaker 10: Where, you know, there's so many diplomats.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Coming in to shag call girls between meetings.
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: I'm a former cab driver. I know how this works.
• 21:08
  Speaker 10: And they're just doing their part. They're just doing their part, man.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, Jimmy.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: And remember, they have immunity. So even if they get
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: swept up by the police, police can't touch them. It's
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: not even a no bail situation. You can't touch me.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: I'm a diplomat. And Jimmy, you probably had to drive
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: them home oftentimes after they were granted complete ambassadorial immunity.
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: Well, that's the point I wanted to make. Yes, they
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: have immunity, but a lot of them still end up
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: in handcuffs.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: All right, let's stay on the hookers for a second.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Is it an all-star cast? Do they fly in from
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: around the country for this weekend or this week?
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: They do.
• 21:53
  Speaker 8: Okay, that is a thing. And back in the day, like,
• 21:57
  Speaker 8: you know, if you're a medallion driver specifically, they will
• 22:01
  Speaker 8: hire you for the day or for the week because
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: there's a lot of street closures. But the reason a
• 22:06
  Speaker 8: cab is valuable is you show up in a cab,
• 22:09
  Speaker 8: you look like a local resident. You grab a bag
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: of groceries or you borrow a dog and the cop
• 22:14
  Speaker 8: lets you down the block. If you pull up in
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: a Cadillac Escalade, they know what you're up to.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: So, yes.
• 22:20
  Speaker 8: I was, you know, I should be in the sequel
• 22:22
  Speaker 8: to Pretty Women is what I'm trying to say.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you're on point. By the way, both I
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: and your favorite here, Natalie Magliore, were at the San
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Gennaro Festival yesterday. Getting reactions of the people. And I
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: got to tell you, the Paisan Nation in Nassau County,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: from Franklin Square to Glen Cove to Mozza Pizza, will say, hey,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: where's Jimmy Fallon?
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Did he forget us normal people?
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: He's too big for us now for the sausage and
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: peppers and the Zeppelis.
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: Can you imagine?
• 22:52
  Speaker 8: No, Jimmy is getting chased through Zanzanero with a wardrobe.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Department and an Ozempic needle.
• 22:57
  Speaker 8: That's why I don't go. I show up, I look
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: at the Zeppelis, and all of a sudden someone comes
• 23:04
  Speaker 8: running after me with a needle.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: No good for me, Kurt.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Hey, Jimmy, this event you're doing is pretty exciting. We
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: understand you're going to be doing a night of comedy
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: at the Kuchina Calandra in Fairfield, New Jersey on October 28th.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: What does this all entail and how do people take part?
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: Well, listen, if you want to go see, you're going
• 23:27
  Speaker 8: to see me in my natural habitat doing what I
• 23:29
  Speaker 8: do best, which is drinking Merlot. And, you know, it's
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: going to be a lot of silly jokes. And we're
• 23:34
  Speaker 8: going to eat some of the... I mean, it's internationally
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: renowned bread, if you don't know that about Kavita Kalani.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 23:40
  Speaker 8: Bread is actually very.
• 23:41
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 23:42
  Speaker 8: But, you know, to the point that people are too.
• 23:44
  Speaker 10: Passionate about it. Like, Larry, I like Italian bread.
• 23:46
  Speaker 8: It's probably my favorite thing in the world. But, you know,
• 23:48
  Speaker 8: Italians like Italian bread too much. It's like, oh, you
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: got to try the bread, bro.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm going to.
• 23:53
  Speaker 10: No, bro, did you try the bread?
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: Seriously, try the bread.
• 23:56
  Speaker 10: You're getting threatened.
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: I'm like, I'm going to eat the bread.
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: So if you're going to come, first and foremost... Laugh
• 24:03
  Speaker 8: at my jokes, but eat the bread.
• 24:04
  Speaker 10: Just sit down and eat the bread so you don't
• 24:06
  Speaker 10: get jumped by someone's.
• 24:08
  Speaker 8: Nana because they're very passionate people. So it's a lot
• 24:11
  Speaker 8: of jokes.
• 24:12
  Speaker 10: And it's an intimate setting, which I'm excited about.
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: You know, I'm usually on the road. You know, there's
• 24:18
  Speaker 8: 2,000 people in a theater. This is like where I
• 24:19
  Speaker 8: come from, you know. And as a bonus, you're seeing
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: a comedian who looks like he gets paid in cannolis.
• 24:25
  Speaker 13: So it works out.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: So you're doing a full set?
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: You're doing a full set, and there's a meet and
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: greet also, so people get to talk to you afterwards.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: That's great.
• 24:37
  Speaker 10: Meet and greet, but in Italian restaurants, it's more like
• 24:39
  Speaker 10: a tip and touch.
• 24:40
  Speaker 8: Okay?
• 24:41
  Speaker 10: They're very handy people. They're very handy.
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: I'm all too familiar with this.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: I have a lot of these relatives.
• 24:48
  Speaker 8: But, yeah, I'm pumped up for this.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what, if you want tickets and
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: who wouldn't want to go to this, you go to
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: 710WOR. com slash Jimmy. Once again, that's 710WOR. com slash Jimmy. It
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: sounds great.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Now, let me ask you real quick, Jimmy, with the
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Ed Sheeran controversy, have you ever had that when you're
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: doing a club with other comedians where they bring up
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: politics and they get booed off the stage?
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: Well, it's funny you say this because Macklemore is opening
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: for me at Kavita Calandra. Yeah.
• 25:23
  Speaker 10: He had an opening in the schedule. I don't know
• 25:28
  Speaker 10: if you heard.
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: No. And Curtis, to that point. No one should be
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: doing this at any type of event. It's just forget
• 25:37
  Speaker 8: even the politics. And I just want to be left
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: alone to my music, which we should all agree on.
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: It's also just the buzzkill. You know, think of Coachella.
• 25:46
  Speaker 8: Those people fly to the desert, drop acid, and they're
• 25:49
  Speaker 8: dancing for 12 hours. And all of a sudden the
• 25:51
  Speaker 8: music stops and Bernie Sanders says they're all going to
• 25:54
  Speaker 8: die from climate change. Doesn't that kill the vibe?
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: And I would imagine like if you're headlining someplace as
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: a comic and the opener does something controversial and all
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: the attention goes to that person, that person's never going
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: to open for you again, right?
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you wouldn't want them to, especially if they're making
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: the event about something else. You know what I'm saying?
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
• 26:18
  Speaker 10: That was the whole point.
• 26:19
  Speaker 8: It's like, imagine you go.
• 26:20
  Speaker 10: You know, your sister's.
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: Getting married, and right before she comes down the aisle,
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: somebody gets up there and starts giving a Save the
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: Whales speech. You know? I mean, it's usually the bridesmaid
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: that most resembles a whale, but I mean, nobody asked
• 26:34
  Speaker 8: for this.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Hey, one last time, tickets to see Jimmy at Kuchina
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Calandra in Fairfield, New Jersey. On October 28th, he's going
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: to do a set. It's a meet and greet, and
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: it's tremendous food. You can't lose. 710WOR. com slash Jimmy. Thanks
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: a lot, Jimmy.
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: Love you guys. See you.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: You go to bed with Jimmy Failure, 9 to 12,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: right here at 710WOR, Monday through Friday. And then you
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: wake up with Larry and yours truly. So within the
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: 9 o'clock hour, the President of the United States will
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: get in front of the podium. in front of the
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: assembled delegates of the UN General Assembly and give his speech.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: The preview has been that he's going to talk about
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: the dangers of Iran having a nuclear weapon. I think
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: the President, Larry, has to make sure that he does
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: not mimic what Bibi Netanyahu, as Prime Minister, has been
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: saying since 2012 when he gives his yearly speech. You
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: may have remembered that cartoon drawing of a bomb he
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: had in his hand and claiming oh Iran's going to
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: have a nuclear weapon we can't permit that because it's
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: just a repetition and you got a lot of the
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: assembly there in the UN who is just going to
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: say okay and what are you going to do about
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: it just like Americans are saying okay and what are
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: you going to do about it Mr. President so hopefully
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: he takes a different tactic a different approach to it,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: and not be accused of just being sort of the
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: parrot of Bibi Netanyahu who will give his speech on Thursday.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: I think it's fascinating that he's going there to speak,
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: and of course he's going to. It's an important speech,
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: it's going to get a lot of coverage, and he's
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: never shied away from coverage. But at the same time,
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: he's been saying that the UN should not exist here
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: in New York. As a matter of fact, he's been
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: saying the UN shouldn't even exist as an institution, that
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: we don't need it anymore. I'm glad that it exists,
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: but wouldn't you agree, Curtis, that they need to move
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: this somewhere else? It shouldn't be here. I wouldn't mind
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: being in another country. It doesn't have to be in
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: the United States.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Well, the perfect place is like Zurich and Switzerland, neutral.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: You know, a neutral country. Switzerland has always been neutral.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: So I would agree with that, but I got to
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: tell you, As much as the politicians moan and groan
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: about it being here, they like the attention that comes
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: when the U.N.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: General Assembly is in town.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I get that, but it's just a pain. And
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: do we make money or do we lose money on
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: the U.N.? That's an interesting question. I haven't really dived
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: into that, but. I, I, my feeling is we probably
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: end up losing money in the long run.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Cause then we have to contribute to the NYPD and
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: all the special services that have to be provided. So, Oh, absolutely.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: It comes through the federal budget. So it's costing us
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: the taxpayers money. And remember all these fiends, these tyrants
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: these despots these totalitarian dictators when they get tickets they
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: don't pay their tickets so we end up basically having
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: to eat them so no it's one big costly effort
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: but it's got to be more than just saying it
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: it's got to be saying okay who else wants it
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: and I know Zurich would prefer to do it as
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: would Nairobi and Kenya, I don't think they'll go to
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Nairobi and Kenya.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no. No, Zurich seems to be the
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: perfect spot, just so it's not here. What a headache
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: this place is. And it means nothing, and they're never
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: on our side doing anything. So we should just, we
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: should evict them. Don't even wait for them. Just set
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: them an eviction notice and say, you've got 30 days
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: to move on.

  Speaker 1: when I admitted that I could cook to kill. Curtis,
