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

- 12:38Speaker 2: country faced massive travel disruptions. Hundreds of flights were canceled.
- 12:45Speaker 2: More than a thousand were delayed across the country. And
- 12:50Speaker 2: for a long time, flights were not taking off or
- 12:53Speaker 2: landing at Newark International, Philadelphia International, and Teterboro was also
- 12:59Speaker 2: affected by this. Also, LaGuardia and JFK, they had long delays.
- 13:05Speaker 2: They even had a stoppage for a while. And flights
- 13:09Speaker 2: in the air had to turn around and go to
- 13:12Speaker 2: other airports, all because of a construction crew working for
- 13:18Speaker 2: New Jersey Transit that was working on a major street
- 13:23Speaker 2: and then cut a fiber line. When the fiber line
- 13:27Speaker 2: was cut, all communication between air traffic control and the
- 13:32Speaker 2: airplanes was shut down.
- 13:35Speaker 14: Do you have any information for us?
- 13:37Speaker 12: Yeah, man, nothing works.
- 13:39Speaker 15: Let's see.
- 13:40Speaker 1: Here at Philly, we lost, well, we got like.
- 13:43Speaker 13: A bunch of thousand extra data tags on all of
- 13:45Speaker 13: our radars.
- 13:46Speaker 1: Our weather doesn't work.
- 13:48Speaker 2: That guy was different than any air traffic controller I
- 13:51Speaker 2: ever heard before. Yeah, man.
- 13:53Speaker 1: Nothing works. Nothing works. Turn around, go back to where
- 13:58Speaker 1: you came from. I mean, one line gets cut and
- 14:04Speaker 1: it stifles everything. all the airline traffic, and especially as you,
- 14:09Speaker 1: in the northeast corridor, are coming over from the Mississippi
- 14:12Speaker 1: going east.
- 14:13Speaker 2: But you think about it, when that corridor is disrupted,
- 14:15Speaker 2: it disrupts everybody. If people are in the air coming
- 14:18Speaker 2: from L.A., they're being told to turn around. Listen to this.
- 14:21Speaker 5: Ladies and gentlemen, from the flight deck, Captain speaking. A
- 14:27Speaker 5: little bit of bad news to share with you all.
- 14:29Speaker 5: We just got a message from our dispatch team. We
- 14:33Speaker 5: will have to divert to Detroit, Michigan. Apparently, the radar
- 14:38Speaker 5: system in the New York area has been out for
- 14:42Speaker 5: the last couple of minutes. They've been trying to work
- 14:45Speaker 5: to get the radar and the communications back online, but
- 14:49Speaker 5: they are unable to do so.
- 14:51Speaker 1: Please, if I was on that flight from LA, anywhere
- 14:54Speaker 1: but Detroit, please.
- 14:58Speaker 7: We were having this conversation last night when we were
- 15:00Speaker 7: watching this.
- 15:01Speaker 3: What would you rather?
- 15:03Speaker 7: Get diverted in the air or be stuck at the airport.
- 15:06Speaker 7: I'm like, stuck at the airport, please.
- 15:09Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely.
- 15:09Speaker 3: In a million years.
- 15:11Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 15:11Speaker 7: Hearing that, I can only imagine the reaction from everybody
- 15:15Speaker 7: on that plane.
- 15:16Speaker 2: Yeah, and they were already flying. They were close. They
- 15:19Speaker 2: had to turn around and go to Detroit.
- 15:22Speaker 6: Oh, God.
- 15:22Speaker 1: Detroit. Out in Southfield. Not the old Detroit East Metro Airport,
- 15:28Speaker 1: which is like in the roughest, toughest area of Detroit.
- 15:30Speaker 1: That's the smaller one. Oh, my God.
- 15:33Speaker 2: Anyway, the Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy, is now saying, this
- 15:38Speaker 2: is the reason I've been asking for funding to improve
- 15:41Speaker 2: the fiber lines from Philadelphia to JFK and to Newark International,
- 15:47Speaker 2: because they run all traffic control down in Philadelphia for
- 15:51Speaker 2: all of these airports in part of the Northeast Corridor. So,
- 15:56Speaker 2: shame if it was, he was making the announcement when
- 15:59Speaker 2: this happened. An exciting day, and this has been.
- 16:02Speaker 1: a year in the making for us at DOT and
- 16:05Speaker 1: the FAA.
- 16:06Speaker 2: Yeah, it was an exciting day. That he was sure
- 16:09Speaker 2: right about.
- 16:10Speaker 1: Right, but he also said they were debuting artificial intelligence-powered
- 16:16Speaker 1: smart air traffic systems to dramatically reduce flight delays and
- 16:21Speaker 1: cancellations like what you saw yesterday. But in this climate,
- 16:25Speaker 1: to say artificial intelligence... having heard some of the fear, fright,
- 16:30Speaker 1: and hysteria stories about how agents of AI, you know,
- 16:35Speaker 1: can get out of their silo and just start making
- 16:38Speaker 1: up their own rules and regulations of what to do.
- 16:42Speaker 1: I don't think that necessarily comforted some of the people
- 16:44Speaker 1: out there listening.
- 16:45Speaker 2: I know. Fear breeds ignorance. And the fact is, almost
- 16:51Speaker 2: everything you're using these days has AI. So guess what?
- 16:54Speaker 2: It's already here.
- 16:55Speaker 6: I mean.
- 16:56Speaker 2: And I use AI constantly during this show.
- 16:59Speaker 1: Yeah, but wait a minute. That has nothing to do
- 17:01Speaker 1: with an air flight, Larry.
- 17:03Speaker 2: No, I understand that.
- 17:04Speaker 1: If you mess up, you just say, hey, it was
- 17:06Speaker 1: the wrong information. AI led me astray.
- 17:09Speaker 2: I think more humans mess up than AI is going
- 17:11Speaker 2: to mess up. AI has a thousand percent better success
- 17:16Speaker 2: rate on almost everything.
- 17:17Speaker 1: You would rather not have air traffic controllers there? You
- 17:20Speaker 1: would rather have that all being done by artificial intelligence?
- 17:24Speaker 2: It's not going to replace air traffic controllers. Well, maybe
- 17:28Speaker 2: in the future. I mean, in your world, everything is
- 17:32Speaker 2: going to turn to hell and the robots are going
- 17:34Speaker 2: to turn over everything.
- 17:35Speaker 7: Just get the fiber optic lines fixed. I mean, AI, great, whatever.
- 17:41Speaker 7: But when you're talking about the Northeast Corridor, it just
- 17:44Speaker 7: can stop.
- 17:45Speaker 1: Well, who cut it?
- 17:46Speaker 3: Because of old technology.
- 17:48Speaker 9: Let's fix it.
- 17:49Speaker 2: It was Jersey Transit that cut it.
- 17:51Speaker 1: Okay.
- 17:51Speaker 2: Who's working for Jersey Transit that cut it?
- 17:54Speaker 3: But it's still, I mean, this problem. I mean, you
- 17:56Speaker 3: can't help that. No, you can't help that.
- 17:57Speaker 1: No, but it's just.
- 17:59Speaker 2: Hey, I think I hit something.
- 18:00Speaker 11: Oh.
- 18:02Speaker 7: Gosh, it just seems like we're working on old technology.
- 18:05Speaker 3: We're talking about AI and then we're talking about lines that.
- 18:07Speaker 1: You could cut. Wait a second. Speak of old technology,
- 18:11Speaker 1: the shoreline, New Jersey Transit, right? Half the time it
- 18:13Speaker 1: doesn't even work. I mean, that's old technology. My God,
- 18:17Speaker 1: New Jersey Transit is responsible for this? Let's know who
- 18:21Speaker 1: the crew is. Put their pictures up. We want to
- 18:24Speaker 1: see who these goblins are.
- 18:26Speaker 2: You know, for the rest of his career, he's going
- 18:29Speaker 2: to be, hey, psst.
- 18:31Speaker 1: That's the guy over there.
- 18:33Speaker 2: He's the guy that cut the fiber line.
- 18:35Speaker 1: Which line do we cut here, Phil? I don't know.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Cut them all. Unbelievable. Anyway, speaking of the Philadelphia International Airport, Larry,
- 18:46Speaker 1: you've been in and out of it. I've been there.
- 18:48Speaker 1: A measles potential alert at the Philadelphia Airport? Measles. It's
- 18:55Speaker 1: something that I wanted until I was convinced as a kid.
- 18:59Speaker 1: Chicken pox. Not measles drink i'm a little.
- 19:03Speaker 2: Concerned about john decker john decker wor white house and
- 19:07Speaker 2: washington correspondent host of the podcast the white house briefing
- 19:11Speaker 2: room with john decker by the way to hear that
- 19:13Speaker 2: podcast and it's really great it can be found on
- 19:15Speaker 2: the iheart radio app john have you tried to use
- 19:19Speaker 2: your white house access pass yet since the ban?
- 19:22Speaker 6: Oh, absolutely. I was at the White House yesterday. My
- 19:24Speaker 6: hard pass works fine, but the hard passes for journalists
- 19:29Speaker 6: that work at three news organizations do not work right now. CNN, Politico,
- 19:34Speaker 6: and MSNOW, they have been banned, as you know, from
- 19:37Speaker 6: the White House by the president. A lawsuit filed yesterday,
- 19:41Speaker 6: and a hearing concerning that lawsuit will take place tomorrow morning.
- 19:45Speaker 2: Yeah, just a quick follow-up. You're a constitutional attorney. I
- 19:48Speaker 2: know there was a famous case back in 1977 that
- 19:52Speaker 2: ruled that the White House can't do this. Where do
- 19:56Speaker 2: you see this going?
- 19:58Speaker 6: Well, this is something that I think the White House
- 20:02Speaker 6: will lose on two grounds. One, due process grounds. The journalists,
- 20:07Speaker 6: the news organizations were not given notice, nor were they
- 20:09Speaker 6: given the option or opportunity to appeal this decision by
- 20:13Speaker 6: the president. So that's number one. The other one reason
- 20:17Speaker 6: is viewpoint discrimination. And that's what came out of that
- 20:20Speaker 6: 1977 case that you just cited, Larry, this is problematic.
- 20:25Speaker 6: The president cannot just ban a news outlet or journalists
- 20:28Speaker 6: from a news outlet based upon what they're reporting. And
- 20:32Speaker 6: so on that ground as well, the president will lose
- 20:34Speaker 6: in the federal courts.
- 20:36Speaker 1: John, the preview to the president's address before the U.N.
- 20:39Speaker 1: General Assembly this morning is that he's going to talk
- 20:42Speaker 1: about Iran and how we can't allow them to have
- 20:47Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon That's been done before by Bibi going
- 20:51Speaker 1: back to 2012. Is it possible the president might take
- 20:56Speaker 1: the opportunity to meet with the president of Iran who
- 21:00Speaker 1: is representing his country and will probably be sitting there
- 21:04Speaker 1: in the General Assembly watching our president's address to the world?
- 21:09Speaker 6: The president has not ruled that out, Curtis. So that
- 21:12Speaker 6: is a possibility for sure. The president has never shied
- 21:17Speaker 6: away from meeting with people that maybe other U.S. presidents
- 21:21Speaker 6: would not have met with, Kim Jong-un, to cite one example.
- 21:25Speaker 6: But that is a possibility. I've seen his schedule. It's
- 21:28Speaker 6: jam-packed today with bilateral meetings. But I'm sure the president,
- 21:31Speaker 6: if he wanted to, could carve out time to meet
- 21:34Speaker 6: with his Iranian counterpart.
- 21:36Speaker 2: We're going to deal coming up with the president's visit
- 21:40Speaker 2: to Gracie Mansion to see Zoran Mamdani, and so we'll
- 21:44Speaker 2: get into the specifics of what happened at that point.
- 21:46Speaker 2: But I wanted to ask you, since you may have
- 21:50Speaker 2: been there when Mamdani was at the White House, I
- 21:52Speaker 2: don't know, but about this relationship, it's weird. They heavily
- 21:57Speaker 2: criticize each other, yet when they're together, they look like
- 22:01Speaker 2: long-lost friends.
- 22:02Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 22:03Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a really interesting relationship. The third time that
- 22:06Speaker 6: they've met, first two times at the White House, yesterday
- 22:09Speaker 6: at Gracie Mansion. And I don't know, it's really interesting
- 22:14Speaker 6: in terms of the way they deal with one another,
- 22:16Speaker 6: even though they are so far apart politically from each
- 22:19Speaker 6: other on just about every issue you can think of.
- 22:22Speaker 6: And yet yesterday, as you point out, Larry, they look
- 22:25Speaker 6: like they could, you know, Have dinner together, go on
- 22:29Speaker 6: vacation together, whatever you want to talk about. They look
- 22:32Speaker 6: pretty comfortable, despite the fact they're so at odds with
- 22:36Speaker 6: one another on just about every domestic and foreign policy.
- 22:39Speaker 1: John, let me take you back to your hood, which
- 22:43Speaker 1: is Washington, D.C., and this arch. President now says, oh,
- 22:49Speaker 1: the arch, which I want built as quickly as possible,
- 22:52Speaker 1: will house ammunition and drones.
- 22:56Speaker 13: What?
- 22:57Speaker 1: Does this change by the day as to what the
- 23:00Speaker 1: purpose of this Arc de Triomphe instead of Arc de
- 23:04Speaker 1: Triomphe is going to be?
- 23:08Speaker 6: Well, we've seen this play out before. The president originally
- 23:11Speaker 6: spoke about a ballroom, and now it's a ballroom that
- 23:13Speaker 6: has security features. The president originally spoke about a huge arch,
- 23:19Speaker 6: an arch that would rival any other arch in the world.
- 23:24Speaker 6: In fact, it would be the tallest in the world,
- 23:25Speaker 6: 250 feet. The president has given a new justification for
- 23:30Speaker 6: the arch, calling it a military complex because ammunition, he says,
- 23:35Speaker 6: would be stored in the arch. There would be snipers
- 23:38Speaker 6: on top of the arch. There would be drones that
- 23:40Speaker 6: could be launched from on top of the arch. Meanwhile,
- 23:43Speaker 6: there is a lawsuit that is aimed at stopping any
- 23:46Speaker 6: construction concerning this arch. And the interior secretary, Doug Burgum,
- 23:51Speaker 6: has said that construction could actually begin on that arch,
- 23:55Speaker 6: not far from Arlington National Cemetery, within the next two weeks.
- 23:59Speaker 2: Tell me the logic in making that claim that it
- 24:02Speaker 2: has defensive purposes and that there's going to be snipers.
- 24:06Speaker 2: Is that to give it more credence? Is that to
- 24:09Speaker 2: make it more necessary? And does the money then come
- 24:14Speaker 2: from the Pentagon, if that's the case?
- 24:17Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, for all of those reasons, that is
- 24:19Speaker 6: the reason why the president is giving that new justification. Otherwise,
- 24:24Speaker 6: if it's just a tourist attraction, you would need money
- 24:28Speaker 6: coming from the U.S. Congress and authorization from Congress to
- 24:32Speaker 6: construct such a monument. Here, the president's saying, hey, this
- 24:36Speaker 6: is a military complex. We need this. It's a necessity.
- 24:41Speaker 6: And for that reason, the president believes that he can
- 24:44Speaker 6: get that arch completed under that new justification.
- 24:48Speaker 1: Now, all of a sudden, out of nowhere in the
- 24:50Speaker 1: last month, as you've seen, John, The whole subject of
- 24:54Speaker 1: artificial intelligence has exploded across the world. Every other day,
- 25:00Speaker 1: there are new stories, pro and con, pro and con.
- 25:03Speaker 1: And the president, who's been very emphatic, he says it's
- 25:06Speaker 1: all fake news about the dangers of AI, but still
- 25:10Speaker 1: went ahead and says, well, I'm going to put together
- 25:13Speaker 1: what he called the artificial intelligence force, sort of like
- 25:17Speaker 1: space force. with an artificial intelligence czar in charge. That's
- 25:23Speaker 1: all we heard. Has there been any movement to do that,
- 25:26Speaker 1: especially in advance of his meeting after the General Assembly
- 25:30Speaker 1: later on with the president of Red China?
- 25:35Speaker 6: Yeah, President Xi coming to the White House on Thursday
- 25:38Speaker 6: and the president and President Xi met a few months
- 25:41Speaker 6: ago in Beijing. I was at that meeting. I was
- 25:43Speaker 6: on that trip. And the issue of AI was not
- 25:47Speaker 6: near the top of the agenda when they met just
- 25:49Speaker 6: a few months ago. But now it is at the
- 25:52Speaker 6: top of their agenda when they meet on Thursday. And
- 25:55Speaker 6: I'll be in the pool, by the way, on Thursday
- 25:57Speaker 6: for that meeting. So the president, I think, trying to
- 26:01Speaker 6: listen to the critics who say that federal regulation of
- 26:05Speaker 6: the artificial intelligence industry is necessary. And that's the reason
- 26:10Speaker 6: why the president announced this AI force to perhaps eliminate
- 26:14Speaker 6: try to hold off any type of legislation from moving
- 26:17Speaker 6: forward in the House or the Senate.
- 26:20Speaker 2: Let me ask you about Iran right now. And I
- 26:22Speaker 2: have a couple of questions. First, just if you can
- 26:25Speaker 2: tell us what's going on with the Straits of Hormuz,
- 26:27Speaker 2: what's happening there. But also, President Trump has said now
- 26:31Speaker 2: a few times that nothing's going to happen. Iran's not
- 26:35Speaker 2: going to cut a deal until after the midterms. That
- 26:39Speaker 2: seems to make a lot of sense if they've been
- 26:41Speaker 2: following how much Because they can't attack us, but they
- 26:44Speaker 2: could hurt Donald Trump.
- 26:47Speaker 6: Well, I think that's true. I've asked the president that
- 26:50Speaker 6: very question in the Oval Office. You know, essentially, is
- 26:54Speaker 6: Iran closing down the Strait of Hormuz to impact you,
- 26:58Speaker 6: to impact Republicans ahead of the midterms? And the president
- 27:01Speaker 6: told me, yeah, I think they are doing that. And
- 27:04Speaker 6: maybe Iran would be up for a deal after the midterms.
- 27:06Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 27:07Speaker 6: I can't get inside their heads. I don't think anybody can.
- 27:11Speaker 6: But it's pretty clear that between now, and November the 3rd,
- 27:14Speaker 6: there is likely not going to be any movement in
- 27:17Speaker 6: terms of ending that conflict, nor, Larry and Curtis, will
- 27:20Speaker 6: there be any movement in terms of opening up the
- 27:24Speaker 6: Strait of Hormuz to the level that it was prior
- 27:27Speaker 6: to this conflict, in which 130 cargo ships were traveling
- 27:31Speaker 6: through the Strait every day. Now, the number is less
- 27:34Speaker 6: than 30, and that's the reason for the high gas prices,
- 27:37Speaker 6: the high diesel prices that we're experiencing right now all
- 27:40Speaker 6: across the country.
- 27:42Speaker 1: Now, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia has acknowledged that
- 27:45Speaker 1: he made two calls to our president to seek some
- 27:48Speaker 1: military assistance as the Houthis are basically gobbling up territory
- 27:54Speaker 1: in Yemen and the Saudi-backed government is losing ground. Apparently,
- 27:59Speaker 1: our president said no. He's going to have to address that, right,
- 28:05Speaker 1: at the General Assembly meeting with the Saudi prince. Do
- 28:08Speaker 1: you think there'll be any movement on that or are
- 28:10Speaker 1: the Saudis pretty much on their own?
- 28:13Speaker 6: Well, as far as what I believe the crown prince
- 28:16Speaker 6: of Saudi Arabia was asking for, the answer is going
- 28:19Speaker 6: to be a no. And the reason being is because
- 28:22Speaker 6: what he's asking the U.S. to do is to get
- 28:24Speaker 6: involved in the Red Sea and perhaps have a direct
- 28:27Speaker 6: conflict with the Houthi rebels. And the president does not
- 28:30Speaker 6: want to risk American service members' lives on that front.
- 28:34Speaker 6: And that's the reason why the U.S. is concentrating on
- 28:39Speaker 6: the Strait of Hormuz in terms of any type of
- 28:42Speaker 6: military action. So the president certainly, in just a few hours,
- 28:47Speaker 6: I believe at 9.55 a.m. is when he's scheduled to
- 28:50Speaker 6: address the U.N. General Assembly. And the number one item
- 28:54Speaker 6: that he'll talk about is this conflict, which is now
- 28:56Speaker 6: in its seventh month, the war with Iran and how
- 29:00Speaker 6: to end it and what the president is calling on
- 29:02Speaker 6: Iran to do in order to end this conflict.
- 29:05Speaker 2: John Decker, WR, White House correspondent and host of the podcast,
- 29:09Speaker 2: The White House Briefing Room with John Decker. You can
- 29:12Speaker 2: find that podcast on the iHeartRadio app. John, thanks.
- 29:17Speaker 6: Thanks a lot, Larry. Thanks, Curtis. Have a great day.
- 29:19Speaker 2: We'll see if they last, but I'm pretty excited about
- 29:23Speaker 2: this because I love Toys R Us. I used to love,
- 29:27Speaker 2: you know, I got four kids and I loved being
- 29:30Speaker 2: able to go out and shop. That was one of
- 29:32Speaker 2: my favorite things, shopping for toys. And there's 140 stores
- 29:35Speaker 2: now that just reopened across the country, many in this area.
- 29:42Speaker 2: And in some of the stores, they had lines when
- 29:46Speaker 2: they were going to open with adults. The fascinating thing,
- 29:50Speaker 2: and I guess this makes a lot of sense, 55%
- 29:52Speaker 2: of the toys are bought for adults only.
- 29:58Speaker 1: Now, are these triple X rated toys that many men
- 30:03Speaker 1: and women involve themselves in, you know, at these roadside,
- 30:09Speaker 1: I guess you call them strip malls where you go
- 30:11Speaker 1: in and you get sex toys. Those are the kind
- 30:14Speaker 1: of toys that are being sold that would attract adults.
- 30:16Speaker 2: The way your mind works.
- 30:18Speaker 4: Oh, my.
- 30:20Speaker 2: Have you been to a Toys R Us? Yeah.
- 30:23Speaker 1: I had three sons.
- 30:24Speaker 2: Okay.
- 30:25Speaker 1: They would go there and they'd be grabbing everything off
- 30:27Speaker 1: the shelf. The big one in Times Square, I took
- 30:30Speaker 1: them there. That closed in like 2015 or so. Then
- 30:33Speaker 1: the one on Flatbush Avenue. which was great, you know,
- 30:36Speaker 1: the way it was laid out. It's become graffiti because,
- 30:38Speaker 1: you know, they closed it down just about. That was
- 30:41Speaker 1: when they went bankrupt. So you mean to tell me
- 30:43Speaker 1: they've reopened and now they're offering toys that have more
- 30:47Speaker 1: of an adult appeal? Well, it's not.
- 30:50Speaker 2: Supposed to have an adult appeal. I'm not talking about
- 30:54Speaker 2: sex toys.
- 30:54Speaker 8: Oh, okay.
- 30:55Speaker 1: I just wanted to.
- 30:55Speaker 2: We're talking about, like, collectibles that adults remember from their
- 31:01Speaker 2: childhood or another big one. Pokemon cards because they're investors.
- 31:09Speaker 2: So they're looking for expensive Pokemon cards or ones that
- 31:12Speaker 2: will become worth something.
- 31:14Speaker 1: So in advance of the Christmas season, Larry, if you
- 31:18Speaker 1: don't mind, I want to give you an assignment if
- 31:19Speaker 1: you're capable of going to a Toys R Us event.
- 31:25Speaker 1: And as you are the celebrity shopper of your family anyway,
- 31:28Speaker 1: so that's something you do no matter what the venue,
- 31:31Speaker 1: the place, the retail or wholesale establishment. And give us
- 31:34Speaker 1: an idea of what kind of adult toys. They're not
- 31:38Speaker 1: adult toys.
- 31:40Speaker 2: My God.
- 31:41Speaker 7: If he went to Toys R Us, I'd put in
- 31:43Speaker 7: a cheap order. Get me some Silly Putty or Play-Doh.
- 31:47Speaker 2: Hey, I'm here for a doll.
- 31:48Speaker 1: Silly Putty.
- 31:49Speaker 13: Right?
- 31:49Speaker 1: Silly Putty.
- 31:50Speaker 3: Two Silly Putties, please. No adult toys.
- 31:54Speaker 2: I know. Your mind went right to adult toys. You
- 31:58Speaker 2: just said adult toys. I said adults were going to
- 32:02Speaker 2: go there. I didn't say adult toys. What kind of
- 32:08Speaker 2: dolls do you think they have? The blow-up dolls?
- 32:12Speaker 1: Oh, that's just so that you can have a blow-up
- 32:14Speaker 1: doll in the seat so that you can go in
- 32:17Speaker 1: the multiple lane. You know, you get past the lanes.
- 32:21Speaker 2: I don't think that's what most of them are used for.
- 32:23Speaker 3: It was such a nice story, and it just went.
- 32:26Speaker 4: I know.
- 32:26Speaker 2: It was like bringing back our past.
- 32:28Speaker 1: We have part two as our celebrity shopper, and you're
- 32:32Speaker 1: the best at this. There's no doubt, Larry. You have
- 32:34Speaker 1: the cred. Find one near you, go, and report back
- 32:39Speaker 1: to us what kind of adult-oriented toys are being sold
- 32:44Speaker 1: in the new reopening of Toys R Us.
- 32:46Speaker 2: I can tell you already. I don't have to really
- 32:48Speaker 2: go to one. And by the way, at Christmas time,
- 32:51Speaker 2: I usually go the night before, the day before, to
- 32:53Speaker 2: do all my Christmas shopping. And then I beg them
- 32:56Speaker 2: to get back in the storeroom so I can get
- 32:58Speaker 2: some of the gifts that I didn't think I could
- 33:00Speaker 2: get to. Let's get some talkbacks.
- 33:03Speaker 11: Curtis. You are an old fart. A man that can
- 33:07Speaker 11: cook is a priceless asset. You love him even more.
- 33:12Speaker 6: See?
- 33:12Speaker 3: You love a man who can cook.
- 33:15Speaker 1: No, that's not manly to me. I'm sorry.
- 33:17Speaker 2: Old fart?
- 33:18Speaker 1: Look, when I went to junior high school, you had
- 33:21Speaker 1: a choice. Metal shop, wood shop, culinary. No way I'm
- 33:26Speaker 1: going to put on the apron strength. Sorry.
- 33:28Speaker 11: Okay.
- 33:29Speaker 2: Can I get that part just cut so I can
- 33:31Speaker 2: use it daily? Yeah, Curtis, you are an old fart.
- 33:35Speaker 2: Just if you could get me that and just leave
- 33:38Speaker 2: it in the machine.
- 33:40Speaker 16: Curtis, with a mother named Francesca, you were eating Swanson dinners?
- 33:45Speaker 4: Wow.
- 33:45Speaker 11: You should be ashamed of yourself. I cannot believe it.
- 33:49Speaker 11: My father came from Italy, Sicily. And you know what?
- 33:52Speaker 11: He was one of the best cooks. He loved it.
- 33:55Speaker 11: He was your man's man. He was proud of it.
- 33:59Speaker 1: Well, no, if she called it pasta and sauce. Because
- 34:04Speaker 1: if she called it pasta and sauce, she's no real Italian.
- 34:07Speaker 1: It's macaroni and gravy. That'll be the true test as
- 34:10Speaker 1: to whether her father was as good a chef from
- 34:14Speaker 1: body as she claims.
- 34:16Speaker 2: You're now going to question the people that called credibility?
- 34:21Speaker 1: Did she call it pasta and sauce, uffa, or macaroni
- 34:24Speaker 1: and gravy?
- 34:25Speaker 11: Okay.
- 34:26Speaker 2: We also talked about at the top of the show,
- 34:29Speaker 2: one-hit wonders, and of course you have some suggestions, some
- 34:32Speaker 2: really good ones.
- 34:33Speaker 1: And another great one-hit wonder, which is still, unfortunately, all
- 34:38Speaker 1: too true, Eve of Destruction by Barry McGuire.
- 34:41Speaker 2: One of the greatest one-hit wonders, Benny Mardonis, Into the Night.
- 34:48Speaker 14: Concerning the fiber optic cut in Philly, most major corporations
- 34:52Speaker 14: and critical infrastructure usually have a redundant backup cable that's
- 34:58Speaker 14: fed from a totally different direction. For situations like this,
- 35:01Speaker 14: when it gets cut in one location, the systems are
- 35:04Speaker 14: still up and running because they're being fed.
- 35:05Speaker 1: From a different one.
- 35:06Speaker 14: It's a failure in multiple departments.
- 35:09Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you. And the systems were so outdated.
- 35:12Speaker 2: They're trying to get the money to modernize all across
- 35:17Speaker 2: the country, and they're having a little bit of trouble.
- 35:19Speaker 2: But Sean Duffy, as you heard, is on the right track.
- 35:22Speaker 2: Let's get the Gloria Albinger now. What's her name?
- 35:25Speaker 1: Oh, Gloria. That's another song.
- 35:28Speaker 13: Gloria, yes.
- 35:29Speaker 16: It was definitely not a one-hit wonder. Laura Branigan had
- 35:32Speaker 16: plenty of hits. But you know why Benny Mardon has
- 35:34Speaker 16: never had a hit after that song?
- 35:36Speaker 1: He could never sing again after that. Oh, well, thank you, Gloria.
- 35:41Speaker 16: As somebody who does, I'm a choir director when I'm
- 35:43Speaker 16: not doing this, believe it or not. And when I
- 35:46Speaker 16: hear that song, I love that song. But it just
- 35:48Speaker 16: hurts me to hear that scream, you know, the way
- 35:50Speaker 16: he ruined his.
- 35:51Speaker 1: Voice on that.
- 35:52Speaker 2: What was that song? G-L-O-R-I-A.
- 35:54Speaker 16: Gloria.
- 35:55Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 35:55Speaker 2: Was that a one hit? I think I got your number.
- 35:58Speaker 8: Yeah, that one.
- 35:59Speaker 1: That's why I said it.
- 36:04Speaker 16: That's the only time you're ever going to hear that.
- 36:06Speaker 16: Mostly cloudy today, cooler, a high of 64 degrees. In
- 36:09Speaker 16: a few hours from now, President Trump will address the U.N.
- 36:12Speaker 2: General Assembly.
- 36:13Speaker 17: He's waking up at the Fifth Avenue property and he'll
- 36:15Speaker 17: make his way to the east side.
- 36:16Speaker 2: He's slated to speak at 10 a.m.
- 36:18Speaker 17: As he'll address world leaders talking about a number of issues,
- 36:21Speaker 17: including the global economy amid the war with Iran, as
- 36:24Speaker 17: well as concerns around AI. Now, a number of leaders
- 36:27Speaker 17: are expected to be in attendance, and these are just
- 36:29Speaker 17: some of the topics on the agenda, as many are
- 36:32Speaker 17: dealing with urgent costs of climate change, soaring energy prices,
- 36:36Speaker 17: and the human toll from this summer's heat waves to
- 36:39Speaker 17: even wildfires.
- 36:41Speaker 16: ABC's Phil Tate outside the Trump Tower in Manhattan, and
- 36:44Speaker 16: because the U.N. is in session, it's a reminder this
- 36:46Speaker 16: is another Gridlock Alert Day. Area airports could be playing
- 36:50Speaker 16: catch-up today after yesterday's hours-long ground stop. Officials, including Transportation
- 36:55Speaker 16: Secretary Sean Duffy, initially said an Amtrak construction crew cut
- 37:00Speaker 16: a fiber-optic line while doing work in Newark. Amtrak says
- 37:03Speaker 16: that's not the case. Either way, the ground stop affected
- 37:07Speaker 16: all of the New York City airports. So if you
- 37:09Speaker 16: watched the Giants game last night, you know it was
- 37:11Speaker 16: not pretty. Quarterback Jackson Dart went down with a knee injury.
- 37:15Speaker 16: On the first drive, soon we'll learn how long Big
- 37:19Speaker 16: Blue is going to be without its starting quarterback.
- 37:21Speaker 18: Dart could have sprained his MCL, but number six isn't
- 37:24Speaker 18: the only thing that's battered after Big Blue fell to
- 37:27Speaker 18: the LA Rams 28-6. Jameis Winston took over for Dart
- 37:31Speaker 18: and completed less than 50% of his passes, admitting the
- 37:34Speaker 18: passing game was poor.
- 37:36Speaker 4: When you know that a team is passing the ball,
- 37:39Speaker 4: third and long is advantage for the defense. So as offense,
- 37:43Speaker 4: myself personally, Just being more efficient on first and second
- 37:46Speaker 4: down will allow all of us to be better.
- 37:49Speaker 18: Meanwhile, Rams Matthew Stafford threw four touchdowns to go with
- 37:53Speaker 18: almost 330 yards and an interception.
- 37:56Speaker 9: Natalie Migliore, WOR News.
- 37:59Speaker 16: Monday was a good day for Mark Zuckerberg, a very
- 38:02Speaker 16: good day. The Metta CEO saw his estimated net worth
- 38:05Speaker 16: rise by $ 25 billion in a single day as the
- 38:09Speaker 16: company rolled out its new Muse AI Assistant. Next news,
- 38:13Speaker 16: 8 o'clock bulletins at once. I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
- 38:17Speaker 1: Oh, up next, Warner Wolf. Jackson Dart gets jackknifed against
- 38:23Speaker 1: the L.A. Rams. No Tom Brady rule in full effect
- 38:27Speaker 1: for our star giant. But right now, let's talk about
- 38:31Speaker 1: what was in Vegas, and it was magnificent. The 2026
- 38:37Speaker 1: iHeart Radio Music Festival presented by Capital One. Watch all
- 38:42Speaker 1: the moments you missed and the exclusive backstage clips you
- 38:46Speaker 1: can't see anywhere else. Just tap the Highlights tab as
- 38:50Speaker 1: you listen to us in the iHeart app. And get
- 38:53Speaker 1: ready to relive the once-in-a-lifetime moments starting October 1st on
- 38:57Speaker 1: Disney Plus and Hulu. And to Warner Wolf we go.
- 39:02Speaker 1: The gridiron yesterday, we saw the star of the New
- 39:07Speaker 1: York Giants, quarterback Jackson Dart. get, I would say, scissored
- 39:14Speaker 1: up and down by the L.A. Rams, and he had
- 39:18Speaker 1: to hop off the field. Now, Warner Wolfe, I remember
- 39:23Speaker 1: when Tom Brady was playing for the New England Patriots,
- 39:25Speaker 1: they seem to have a tom brady rule you come
- 39:28Speaker 1: anywhere near tom brady flags went out man you couldn't
- 39:30Speaker 1: touch the guy our guy got i mean scissor dead
- 39:36Speaker 1: come on warner no.
- 39:38Speaker 12: That was a clean play it was clean clean hit
- 39:43Speaker 12: and uh you know god you don't know he's Dart
- 39:47Speaker 12: suffered a medial collateral ligament known as an MCL, a sprain.
- 39:55Speaker 12: First series of the game, left knee. Now that's the
- 39:58Speaker 12: leg a quarterback plants on his foot before throwing. I'm
- 40:04Speaker 12: no doctor, but I'll tell you what, depending on the
- 40:06Speaker 12: severity of the injury, which the MRI will show today,
- 40:10Speaker 12: hopefully he'll miss only the next two games against the
- 40:15Speaker 12: Titans and Cardinals. And I assume he'll have to wear
- 40:19Speaker 12: a leg brace, which would limit his running capacity. And
- 40:25Speaker 12: if it's not, and it's longer, the Giants likely will
- 40:30Speaker 12: not have a winning season without Dart and will not
- 40:33Speaker 12: have a winning season with Jameis Winston, who has seen
- 40:38Speaker 12: his better days. And with Winston's backup, unused third-string quarterback
- 40:45Speaker 12: Jake Hayner who last played two years ago with the Saints,
- 40:50Speaker 12: if possible. If Dart is out long-term, then John Harbaugh
- 40:56Speaker 12: will be on the phone very quick with other teams
- 41:00Speaker 12: looking for a quarterback. Just one question in the strategy.
- 41:05Speaker 12: Remember the Giants were trailing, if you didn't stay up
- 41:08Speaker 12: until 11-15. They were trailing only 14-0 just before the half.
- 41:12Speaker 12: They had a second and five from the sixth. Third
- 41:15Speaker 12: and two from the three. Where was Cam Scadaboo and
- 41:19Speaker 12: his 300-pound blocking back, Patrick Picard? Instead, they gave the
- 41:26Speaker 12: ball twice to Najee Harris, and they had to settle for.
- 41:29Speaker 6: A field goal.
- 41:31Speaker 12: Meanwhile, as far as the Jets go, they beat themselves
- 41:35Speaker 12: Sunday by not taking advantage of a Green Bay team
- 41:39Speaker 12: who fumbled five times. and had almost as many yardage
- 41:45Speaker 12: and penalties, 133, as they did in passing, 136, and
- 41:50Speaker 12: may have set a Packer record for most dropped passes,
- 41:54Speaker 12: which hit their receivers right in the numbers. And the
- 41:58Speaker 12: Jets were penalized 156 yards, only five yards shy of
- 42:02Speaker 12: the all-time Jet record. And Aaron Glenn must have gone
- 42:07Speaker 12: to the Herman Edwards School of Clock Management Yeah, you
- 42:13Speaker 12: could laugh at that. That was clever, yeah. Using his three.
- 42:19Speaker 12: He uses three timeouts way too early in the first half,
- 42:22Speaker 12: depriving himself of a possible field goal just before the half.
- 42:26Speaker 12: And most coaches will tell you, if you win the
- 42:30Speaker 12: flip in overtime, you choose to kick off and see
- 42:34Speaker 12: what the other team does first. Glenn chose to receive
- 42:39Speaker 12: and had to punt. All right, changing the gears.
- 42:44Speaker 1: Can I just comment real quick? Boy, you're back to
- 42:46Speaker 1: being a curmudgeon again with the Giants and Jets. We
- 42:49Speaker 1: had one week of euphoria from you, Wanda.
- 42:52Speaker 2: I don't think he's alone. I think it's throughout the city.
- 42:58Speaker 12: Fairweather sportscast. Now, the suspicious college football coach of the week,
- 43:07Speaker 12: Oklahoma State, was a 56.5 point favorite over little Murray State.
- 43:13Speaker 12: But Oklahoma State led by only 52 points, 52 to nothing,
- 43:19Speaker 12: with just over a minute to play. Let the clock
- 43:22Speaker 12: run out, right?
- 43:23Speaker 13: Wrong.
- 43:24Speaker 12: Oklahoma State ran it in from the 6-1, 59 to nothing,
- 43:27Speaker 12: and beat the 56.5 point spread.
- 43:28Speaker 13: Why?
- 43:28Speaker 11: Why?
- 43:33Speaker 12: Yeah, well, the coach must have been on his own
- 43:36Speaker 12: team and gave the 56.5 points. Now, as far as
- 43:41Speaker 12: the Yankees go, trailing by six with only seven to play,
- 43:46Speaker 12: the Yanks would almost have to sweep the four-game series
- 43:49Speaker 12: here against the Rays beginning today to win the division
- 43:53Speaker 12: and get the bye. And after the four-game series, the
- 43:56Speaker 12: Yanks have three with Baltimore. The Rays have three in Philadelphia.
- 44:01Speaker 12: And before you entirely blame poor decision-making Mets general manager
- 44:08Speaker 12: David Stearns for letting first baseman Pete Alonzo go to Baltimore,
- 44:13Speaker 12: who hit two home runs last night, by the way,
- 44:16Speaker 12: now has 40 home runs and 108 RBIs and more
- 44:21Speaker 12: than any Met player. Well, where was Met owner Steve Cohen?
- 44:27Speaker 12: who could have easily overruled his general manager. This was
- 44:32Speaker 12: the worst Met move since the 77 Mets traded Tom
- 44:36Speaker 12: Seaver to the Reds and then left him unprotected in
- 44:40Speaker 12: 1984 and he was picked up by the White Sox.
- 44:43Speaker 12: Perhaps Mr. Cohen should have stayed in the hedge fund business.
- 44:49Speaker 12: And this day... You could laugh at that.
- 44:54Speaker 2: Wait for permission.
- 44:54Speaker 1: He's on a roll. He's on a roll.
- 44:58Speaker 12: This day in sports, 48 years ago last week, September 1978,
- 45:02Speaker 12: 36-year-old Muhammad Ali regained his title, winning a 15-round decision
- 45:09Speaker 12: over Leon Spinks after losing his title to Spinks seven
- 45:14Speaker 12: months earlier. Now, many years later, I saw Muhammad Ali again.
- 45:20Speaker 12: He looked at me and said, how come I'm so
- 45:24Speaker 12: pretty and you're still so ugly?
- 45:27Speaker 13: That was it.
- 45:34Speaker 1: Warner, let me tell you, this may have been your
- 45:37Speaker 1: finest sports broadcast ever since I came over and joined
- 45:42Speaker 1: Larry at the hip. That was amazing. You were like
- 45:47Speaker 1: on a roll. You were on fire, Warner.
- 45:50Speaker 12: We'll see what you say next week.
- 45:52Speaker 2: I love the voice he did at the end. You
- 45:54Speaker 2: know he's an actor.
- 45:56Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, man. Look, his parents, Vaudevillians, he's in all
- 46:02Speaker 1: kinds of movies. That's Warner Wolfman! Anyway, Warner, same time,
- 46:08Speaker 1: same place, next week.
- 46:11Speaker 2: Coming up next, Natalie Migliore's Beat on the Street. What
- 46:15Speaker 2: are people talking about at the San Gennaro Festival? Were
- 46:19Speaker 2: you there again, Curtis?
- 46:21Speaker 1: Oh, definitely with Natalie. Oh, it was packed and people
- 46:24Speaker 1: were coming over to WOR and they're leaving Israel First
- 46:27Speaker 1: Radio at WABC.
- 46:30Speaker 2: That's coming up next, Natalie.
- 46:33Speaker 10: Now, it's 710 WOR's Beat on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
- 46:39Speaker 6: Wow.
- 46:40Speaker 1: From the streets of the San Gennaro Festival that continues
- 46:44Speaker 1: until Sunday. It was me and Natalie Migliore there yesterday.
- 46:49Speaker 1: And boy, it was packed. Because remember, Yom Kippur meant
- 46:53Speaker 1: a lot of people. were not working because it was
- 46:56Speaker 1: a Jewish holiday. Not that they were Jews there, but Gentiles.
- 47:00Speaker 9: I'm sure there were some.
- 47:02Speaker 1: I'm not ratting anybody out.
- 47:04Speaker 2: I can't wait to see the movie. I heard that
- 47:06Speaker 2: she was videotaping the entire time.
- 47:09Speaker 18: Yeah, not only that, we tried some Zeppole. Curtis treated
- 47:14Speaker 18: me to some Zeppole. That was the treat at the
- 47:16Speaker 18: end of him shaking hands every three seconds. and me
- 47:20Speaker 18: interviewing people about what's just been going on recently regarding
- 47:24Speaker 18: the Italian-American community here in New York. And if you're wondering,
- 47:29Speaker 18: what is going on in the Italian-American community? Well, it's
- 47:33Speaker 18: the San Gennaro Festival, so we had a grand old
- 47:36Speaker 18: time doing that, but also.
- 47:39Speaker 9: There's been a lot.
- 47:40Speaker 18: Coming out of it because one of the more recent
- 47:42Speaker 18: issues is how Mayor Mondani leaving the area off the
- 47:46Speaker 18: map of the city's immigrant enclaves.
- 47:49Speaker 9: If you remember earlier this summer, that was a bit
- 47:51Speaker 9: of an issue.
- 47:52Speaker 18: So as people were in a very good mood, we
- 47:56Speaker 18: brought it down a little bit because the Italian Americans
- 47:59Speaker 18: from New York, Larry Curtis, you should know this by now.
- 48:02Speaker 9: No mincing words here.
- 48:04Speaker 2: Well, I can tell you, I feel it's a complete disgrace.
- 48:08Speaker 16: I mean, these are the people that were here first.
- 48:11Speaker 2: They built this space.
- 48:13Speaker 1: Disrespectful. You know, doing something like that to us.
- 48:17Speaker 2: We've been here a hundred years with a festival like this.
- 48:20Speaker 1: We kind of built New York.
- 48:23Speaker 2: I don't know. I hope we all figure it out soon.
- 48:26Speaker 19: He's deliberately trying to change the history of New York
- 48:29Speaker 19: City to match his political agenda because he only cares
- 48:33Speaker 19: about himself.
- 48:34Speaker 6: It's a shame.
- 48:35Speaker 2: It's a shame.
- 48:35Speaker 1: This is a New York institution. And it's a shame
- 48:39Speaker 1: they took off the list.
- 48:40Speaker 18: Now, Larry, who sounds more Italian-American to you out of
- 48:44Speaker 18: the whole list of people?
- 48:46Speaker 2: As you've been talking, you've gotten to be more and
- 48:49Speaker 2: more Italian-American during this story.
- 48:51Speaker 9: I was with my people!
- 48:55Speaker 18: Now, earlier this summer, the mayor had said he didn't
- 48:58Speaker 18: make the list. He just updated it from Mayor Adams' administration,
- 49:03Speaker 18: saying it was originally left off the list anyway.
- 49:05Speaker 9: So now.
- 49:07Speaker 18: OK, the organizers of the Columbus Day Parade invited Mamdani
- 49:12Speaker 18: to march with them. Now, the mayor has said, if
- 49:15Speaker 18: you remember, he is not going to be the mayor
- 49:17Speaker 18: of parades. Remember, he said he wouldn't attend all.
- 49:20Speaker 9: These marches and parades.
- 49:23Speaker 18: But what do Italian New Yorkers think of just the
- 49:26Speaker 18: group extending the invite?
- 49:29Speaker 1: You wanna know something?
- 49:30Speaker 20: It's showing that we are a race of people that
- 49:34Speaker 20: are loving, we're forgiving, you do your thing, just don't
- 49:37Speaker 20: step on anybody's toes. I mean, I think everyone's welcome
- 49:40Speaker 20: to Columbus Day, but I think there's plenty of factors
- 49:44Speaker 20: for why he shouldn't go in light of a lot
- 49:46Speaker 20: of the current circumstances.
- 49:47Speaker 19: Disgraciad, I think it's an embarrassment because when somebody tries
- 49:53Speaker 19: to downgrade who you are to that low of a level,
- 49:58Speaker 19: Why would you want them there?
- 49:59Speaker 2: I wouldn't.
- 50:01Speaker 9: I mean, he should go.
- 50:02Speaker 2: He should go.
- 50:04Speaker 3: I mean, he should go to every single parade.
- 50:06Speaker 8: He's got to show up.
- 50:07Speaker 16: If he wants to be the mayor of New York,
- 50:08Speaker 16: he needs to show up and not just be the
- 50:10Speaker 16: mayor of his people.
- 50:12Speaker 2: Now, many times you go out in the street and
- 50:14Speaker 2: you come back and you go, I'm having a hard
- 50:16Speaker 2: time getting anybody. It sounds like there, people lined up.
- 50:21Speaker 2: They wanted to say what they had to say.
- 50:23Speaker 18: Well, people lined up to meet Curtis and then I
- 50:25Speaker 18: was like, hey, I'm with.
- 50:26Speaker 3: Curtis and we'd love your opinion. My favorite person. My
- 50:32Speaker 3: favorite part was the background music.
- 50:34Speaker 1: I know.
- 50:34Speaker 13: I know.
- 50:35Speaker 9: It was like there was not one quiet corner. Then
- 50:38Speaker 9: we stopped these people. You finally stopped these people.
- 50:40Speaker 18: I was not just doing video for us. I was
- 50:43Speaker 18: like the designated.
- 50:45Speaker 9: Picture taker for Curtis. No one knew who I was,
- 50:48Speaker 9: which was awesome. And they were just like, oh, you're
- 50:50Speaker 9: with him? And I was like, yeah, I'm just waiting
- 50:52Speaker 9: for my sepulies.
- 50:53Speaker 3: Yeah. And that was cool.
- 50:57Speaker 9: That was really fun.
- 50:58Speaker 18: So we got to interview a bunch of people who
- 51:00Speaker 18: wanted to shake Curtis's hand.
- 51:02Speaker 9: He's the celebrity everywhere we go.
- 51:05Speaker 18: And maybe to give the mayor a better understanding of
- 51:09Speaker 18: who we are as.
- 51:10Speaker 9: A people, the Italian Americans.
- 51:13Speaker 18: Here are just some reasons you can't take away the
- 51:16Speaker 18: pride of being an Italian-American, especially here in New York.
- 51:21Speaker 9: The food, you know, like plant parm.
- 51:24Speaker 3: You can't get it anywhere but homemade, and that's, you know,
- 51:27Speaker 3: my father makes it great.
- 51:28Speaker 2: Everybody's looked out for one another. You got a problem,
- 51:31Speaker 2: I got a problem.
- 51:33Speaker 20: My father came here from Italy in 1928, and he
- 51:36Speaker 20: came with nothing in his pocket, his whole family. I
- 51:39Speaker 20: think they had 20 cents between the bunch of them,
- 51:42Speaker 20: and he worked his way up. everybody in the family
- 51:45Speaker 20: worked their way up and they showed you what it
- 51:47Speaker 20: was hard labor hard working with your hands just to
- 51:51Speaker 20: uh provide for the.
- 51:53Speaker 18: Family now let me tell you something these two we
- 51:56Speaker 18: were two different generations dennis and i the guy who
- 51:59Speaker 18: was just speaking and i my dad isn't off the
- 52:02Speaker 18: boat my grandfather was but when you talk to people
- 52:04Speaker 18: like that you just connect same thing my dad My
- 52:08Speaker 18: dad gave everything for us, in a sense, and taught
- 52:11Speaker 18: me what hard work is.
- 52:12Speaker 9: That's why when I go out with a microphone and
- 52:13Speaker 9: chase after people, Curtis, it's more fun.
- 52:16Speaker 2: Than what my dad did, I think. And you were
- 52:19Speaker 2: with your people. I can hear the language coming out
- 52:21Speaker 2: more and more.
- 52:22Speaker 7: Thanks for sending us out.
- 52:24Speaker 2: Natalie Migliore is going to be back tomorrow morning at 7.50. Well,
- 52:28Speaker 2: what a meeting yesterday, a love fest between trump and
- 52:32Speaker 2: mom donnie but guess what happened today we'll tell you
- 52:35Speaker 2: next after the eight o'clock news you.
- 52:38Speaker 1: Saw excuse me larry you saw the president of the
- 52:42Speaker 1: united states walking out of gracie mansion side by side
- 52:47Speaker 1: with mayor zora mandami they had met in what they
- 52:50Speaker 1: call the yellow room there both their chiefs of staff
- 52:54Speaker 1: were at their side but when they came out They
- 52:58Speaker 1: went right to the podium. Originally, the president was not
- 53:01Speaker 1: going to speak, but he decided, nope, I'm going to
- 53:03Speaker 1: go out there and speak to the press. And instead
- 53:06Speaker 1: of there being the seal of the president of the
- 53:09Speaker 1: United States on the podium, there was the biggest seal
- 53:14Speaker 1: I've ever seen of any mayor. I mean, it was gigantic.
- 53:18Speaker 1: It was like the size of a sewer cap. And
- 53:21Speaker 1: it said the mayor of the city of New York.
- 53:24Speaker 1: And it truly was a love fest. This is round three.
- 53:27Speaker 1: The New York Post itself, probably the biggest critic of
- 53:30Speaker 1: Zoran Mandami, called it a love fest. And they got
- 53:35Speaker 1: into talking about the real reason that Trump was there.
- 53:38Speaker 1: We'll get to that momentarily. But remember, Larry, what I've
- 53:41Speaker 1: always said. I don't trust any politicians.
- 53:44Speaker 6: None.
- 53:44Speaker 1: Republicans, Democrats, none. Because they're backstabbers and liars. And they'll
- 53:50Speaker 1: lie at a moment's notice. So here this great meeting
- 53:54Speaker 1: takes place. The mayor's happy. President Trump is happy. They
- 53:59Speaker 1: leave company. The president goes to meet Macron at the
- 54:04Speaker 1: Trump Tower. Got nowhere near the coverage, obviously, than his
- 54:08Speaker 1: meeting with Mondami. And Mondami goes and sits for an
- 54:12Speaker 1: interview with CNN. Okay. And then all of a sudden
- 54:17Speaker 1: revives the arrest for Bibi Netanyahu that he always wanted
- 54:23Speaker 1: to do. as Bibi will be coming in on Thursday
- 54:27Speaker 1: speaking and then turning around and leaving fresh. This is
- 54:31Speaker 1: a fresh interview. Could I hear that to audio?
- 54:33Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just waiting. Sure.
- 54:35Speaker 1: No problem.
- 54:36Speaker 21: About the way that I see the world. And I
- 54:38Speaker 21: always owe New Yorkers that honesty when it comes to
- 54:41Speaker 21: Benjamin Netanyahu. I have described him as I believe him
- 54:43Speaker 21: to be a war criminal and an architect of a
- 54:46Speaker 21: horrific genocide of the Palestinian people. And I've also been
- 54:48Speaker 21: honest with New Yorkers. that New York City does not
- 54:51Speaker 21: have the authority to carry out the ICC's warrant, which,
- 54:54Speaker 21: as you said, has been issued for Prime Minister Netanyahu.
- 54:59Speaker 2: And the thing is, I know the New York Post
- 55:02Speaker 2: and the New York Times made a big deal about this.
- 55:04Speaker 2: They both put out stories. They put out alerts about this.
- 55:08Speaker 2: This is nothing new. This is what he's been saying
- 55:11Speaker 2: all along when he backtracked on the fact that that
- 55:14Speaker 2: he didn't have the power to arrest Netanyahu. He said
- 55:18Speaker 2: he should be at the Hague. How many times has
- 55:19Speaker 2: he said that? He said he should be arrested, if
- 55:22Speaker 2: not by the city, by the feds.
- 55:27Speaker 21: Because what we want to see, and we've been talking
- 55:30Speaker 21: about this today, is... a faith in our politics, a
- 55:33Speaker 21: faith in accountability. You know, I recently met the mayor
- 55:36Speaker 21: of The Hague here at U20. And the key thing
- 55:39Speaker 21: he kept emphasizing to all of us was the importance
- 55:41Speaker 21: of the rule of law. And if the International Criminal
- 55:43Speaker 21: Court deems someone worthy of an arrest because of a
- 55:46Speaker 21: violation of those laws, then who are we to say
- 55:49Speaker 21: that anyone should be above that? And I think very
- 55:51Speaker 21: clearly that everyone should be held.
- 55:52Speaker 2: Accountable to it. We can because we're the United States
- 55:55Speaker 2: and we're not part of The Hague or the International Court.
- 55:57Speaker 2: So he's safe in this country. He knows that when
- 56:00Speaker 2: he comes here. And he has huge support in New
- 56:03Speaker 2: York and among most of the country. At least Israel
- 56:06Speaker 2: does if he's lost some. But it would be an
- 56:10Speaker 2: international crisis disaster if we arrested Netanyahu. It's a ridiculous
- 56:17Speaker 2: thing to say.
- 56:18Speaker 1: Well, first off, he talks about it on Yom Kippur,
- 56:20Speaker 1: the high holiday for Jews. Bibi can't respond. Jews are
- 56:25Speaker 1: not able to respond. It's a high holiday. Number two,
- 56:30Speaker 1: why didn't CNN then say, well, you know, also you're
- 56:33Speaker 1: hosting the president of Iran that is guilty of killing
- 56:37Speaker 1: thousands of his own people, hanging critics at the gallows
- 56:42Speaker 1: and torturing people. That's what I would have done as
- 56:44Speaker 1: a CNN reporter. Why aren't you making a big deal
- 56:48Speaker 1: about the president of Iran, who's also going to be
- 56:50Speaker 1: at this General Assembly meeting? Sidebar is the president may
- 56:55Speaker 1: be meeting with him. So it was incumbent upon that
- 56:58Speaker 1: CNN journalist to turn the table and say, well, what
- 57:01Speaker 1: about Iran? But of course not.
- 57:03Speaker 2: No, CNN loves Mamdani, and CNN probably agrees that Netanyahu
- 57:08Speaker 2: should be arrested, but that's a great point. And I
- 57:12Speaker 2: will tell you this, when the president of Iran comes here,
- 57:17Speaker 2: I hope, because New York will look silly, if you're
- 57:21Speaker 2: going to protest Netanyahu, you certainly should be protesting Iran.
- 57:25Speaker 2: the president of Iran when he shows up.
- 57:28Speaker 1: There will. It'll be a minimal protest, though, compared to
- 57:31Speaker 1: the thousands that will gather at Bryant Park on Thursday
- 57:34Speaker 1: and then march to the U.N. Meantime, the big reason
- 57:38Speaker 1: for the meeting, and this is what people need to understand,
- 57:41Speaker 1: why they're getting along so well. The first time after
- 57:44Speaker 1: he won the mayoral election, and then he returned to
- 57:47Speaker 1: the White House, remember, in February, for one specific reason,
- 57:51Speaker 1: to talk about building housing in New York City with
- 57:55Speaker 1: the help of the federal government, and this time when
- 57:57Speaker 1: the president decided to follow up on Zoran's invitation to
- 58:01Speaker 1: come to Gracie Manchin. There is a project, it's called
- 58:05Speaker 1: the Sunnyside Yards, In order to build housing there, they're
- 58:10Speaker 1: hoping for 12,000 units. It would require a lot of
- 58:13Speaker 1: federal money, close to $ 21 billion. But you have to
- 58:18Speaker 1: build a platform over the rail yard. Anyone who's ever
- 58:22Speaker 1: taken the 7 train, either to the U.S. Open or
- 58:25Speaker 1: to Citi Field, you look on both sides as you
- 58:28Speaker 1: pass into Queens and you can see the Amtrak trains,
- 58:31Speaker 1: New Jersey transit trains, Long Island Railroad. They're all houses.
- 58:35Speaker 1: So you have to build this gigantic concrete platform that
- 58:40Speaker 1: will make each unit that gets built cost about $ 2
- 58:44Speaker 1: million per unit. You say, wow, that's a lot of money, right? Oh, Natalie,
- 58:48Speaker 1: you woke up there. We originally were going to try
- 58:52Speaker 1: to put a platform over the West Side Yards, which
- 58:54Speaker 1: is south of Jacob Javits Convention Center. There they housed
- 58:58Speaker 1: the trains. It was too expensive. This was during the
- 59:01Speaker 1: de Blasio years. You couldn't get to private capital. You
- 59:04Speaker 1: couldn't get to federal money. You couldn't get to city
- 59:06Speaker 1: or state money. Way too expensive.
- 59:09Speaker 6: This.
- 59:10Speaker 1: Is what Donald Trump wants because he is a friend
- 59:14Speaker 1: of builders and developers and realtors and the construction unions.
- 59:18Speaker 1: They were very supportive of him and have been regularly.
- 59:22Speaker 1: Zoran Mandami wants housing because he hasn't provided any housing yet.
- 59:26Speaker 1: He's promised New Yorkers, I'm going to provide affordable housing.
- 59:30Speaker 1: So if he can get the federal dollars, $ 21 billion,
- 59:34Speaker 1: that's a lot of money, but it would have to
- 59:36Speaker 1: be allocated through the city. Then he comes out and
- 59:40Speaker 1: he says, hey, I got affordable housing. Donald Trump then
- 59:45Speaker 1: rewards all of his supporters because there's 30,000 construction jobs. Obviously,
- 59:51Speaker 1: there's a lot of money that would go towards the
- 59:53Speaker 1: construction companies, the developers, the realtors. So it's a win-win
- 59:58Speaker 1: for both. And you know what this is the result of?
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: I spent so much time on the campaign about the
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: city of yes. The city of yes was the proposition
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: that barely passed on the back of the ballot, which
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: meant from now on, if you want to build anything
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: in any neighborhood, you don't have to go to a
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: community board. You don't have to get zoning permits. You
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: don't have to meet with elected officials. As long as
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: you have a plan, you go to City Hall. If
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: City Hall signs off on it, There goes your construction project.
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: So Adams was for that. Cuomo was for it. I
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: was against it. And if you remember that last debate,
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: who vacillated? Zoran Mondami. He said, oh, I'm open for
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: further discussion. And the day before the vote. he asked
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: his supporters, please vote yes on the city of yes,
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: and that's what would enable a project like this.
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: Let's leave the last debate for a second and go
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: to what happened yesterday, if that's okay, because it's important
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: to hear what they said yesterday, and it's important to
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: also figure out what is going on between them, because
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: it was a love fest, and it seemed to me,
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: and I wonder if people listening think this, Mamdani was
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: a little almost subservient to Trump. You know, he kept
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: calling his Mr. President. Do you want to speak first?
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: Do you want to go? He kept moving out of
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: the way and. This is him talking about exactly what
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: you were saying about the Sunnyside project.
- 1:01:26Speaker 21: We've agreed to set up a new level of that
- 1:01:29Speaker 21: conversation between our housing and operations team at City Hall
- 1:01:33Speaker 21: and the White House team, because what we're speaking about
- 1:01:37Speaker 21: is 12,000 homes, 30,000 jobs, the prospect of an entire
- 1:01:41Speaker 21: new neighborhood in a city where housing is the number
- 1:01:43Speaker 21: one cost.
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: So he said that they're going to be meeting with
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: the White House and have continuous meetings with the White House.
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: So this is happening.
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: The mayor brought that up.
- 1:01:50Speaker 22: The possibility of doing Sunnyside Yards. I would say that
- 1:01:55Speaker 22: was a very federal-oriented job. You're going to need a
- 1:01:58Speaker 22: lot of federal approvals and probably some federal money to
- 1:02:02Speaker 22: do it, but it's always been a great location.
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: I owned a building in Sunnyside.
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: It was a great building.
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: I know it very well.
- 1:02:08Speaker 2: Yeah, so he owned a building there. He wants to
- 1:02:11Speaker 2: be part of the development of that. This is going
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: to happen. One last thing.
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: That he said. Well, one problem. Nobody in Sunnyside wants it.
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: The elected officials don't want it.
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: It sounds like it's going to happen.
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: Well, I'm telling you that the old way would have
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: prevented that. So basically, you have developers who are going
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: to make a lot of money, friends of Trump, and
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: Zoran Mandami, who's going to get 12,000 apartments that will
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: never be affordable.
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: So it's going to happen. But they won't be affordable. Oh,
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. I mean, it sounds like it's going
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: to happen. It matters in the end, yes. Do you
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: trust any of that? I'm not trusting anybody. I'm just
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: saying that I can read the tea leaves. This is
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: going to happen. If the feds want it and the
- 1:02:52Speaker 2: mayor wants it, it's going to happen. You like Scott Jennings, right?
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: I do.
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: This is what he said on CNN, right?
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: Do you agree, Scott, with Trump that Zoran has great potential?
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: Oh, hold on. Before you get to that, let's play
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: him saying that.
- 1:03:08Speaker 22: I certainly hope he will be a great mayor. You
- 1:03:10Speaker 22: have to understand, I want what's good for New York.
- 1:03:13Speaker 22: I want what's good for the country. So if I
- 1:03:15Speaker 22: had a choice of having him be a bad mayor
- 1:03:18Speaker 22: or a horrible mayor, I don't want that. I want
- 1:03:20Speaker 22: him to be a great mayor, and he's certainly got potential.
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: There you go. There's the potential line.
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: So Scott Jennings was asked that. As you know, he's the,
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: I guess you could call him the token MAGA Republican
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: on the CNN team. He said, oh, yeah, he has
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: the potential to bring about the downfall of America. So,
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: you see, the president can say these things, but you
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: can't start labeling people Islamist, communist, saying they're going to
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: lead to the downfall of America, and then you elevate
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: this one guy.
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: I don't know if he's elevating him, because he's still
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: going to blast him tomorrow. And by the way, Mamdani's
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: still going to blast Trump tomorrow. He just sees an opportunity,
- 1:04:01Speaker 2: and he sees an opportunity tomorrow. to create some jobs.
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: He sees an opportunity to build, which he loves to build.
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: And Mamdani sees an opportunity. So it's a win-win for
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: the both of them. So, yeah, I mean, we'll see.
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: But I absolutely believe it's going to happen. I think
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: you can say follow the money, right? For both sides.
- 1:04:19Speaker 5: Sure.
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: Follow the money.
- 1:04:21Speaker 13: Sure.
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: We'll see.
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: Don't trust any of them. Anyway, up next, CDs are
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: making a comeback. plus a chance to see Kenny G
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: up next. Meantime, Alicia Keys and friends are joining the
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: 2026 Global Citizen Festival lineup. They join previous announced performers, Ms.
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: Lauren Hill and Wyclef Jean, Lenny Kravitz, John Legend, Laney Wilson,
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: and many others with Hugh Jackman hosting. That's Saturday. September
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: 26th on the Great Lawn in Central Park. That's next Saturday.
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: Tickets are free and can be earned by taking action.
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: Download the Global Citizen app for more information. So this
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: is crazy. How many CDs do you think you have
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: in your house? Music CDs? I'd say probably about four
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: or five.
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: Is that all?
- 1:05:13Speaker 7: I have a box in my basement. We must have
- 1:05:15Speaker 7: at least 150.
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: I think I have 1,000.
- 1:05:17Speaker 11: Oh!
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: I mean, I used to buy them all the time.
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: I have boxes. You too, Crash? I have a lot
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: of them. Guess what? They're making a comeback. There you go.
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: He got excited about it. I'm excited about it. Sales
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: jumped 16% to 16.3 million units in the first half
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: of 2026.
- 1:05:34Speaker 11: Wow.
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: United States CD revenue jumped 58% in the first half
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: of 2026, hitting $ 171 million. This is a huge growth
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: because Gen Z and the millennials now want music CDs.
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: Well, I have more cassettes than I have CDs, and
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: it's too bad I got rid of my 8-track collection
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: because that preceded both of them. So will those two
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: be making a comeback too, cassettes and 8-tracks?
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: I don't have any information on that.
- 1:06:11Speaker 7: You know, our resident Gen Z-er, Chris, our associate producer,
- 1:06:15Speaker 7: he just told me he has 25 CDs in his car,
- 1:06:18Speaker 7: mostly which he's purchased in the past five years.
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: I didn't even know cars had CD players anymore.
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: I don't think it does.
- 1:06:24Speaker 9: I don't think it does.
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: Listen to this. Roughly 50% of young buyers, Gen Z
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: and millennials, don't have a functioning CD player.
- 1:06:34Speaker 16: What?
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: Wait a minute.
- 1:06:35Speaker 2: They treat CDs as lifestyle commodities.
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: Oh, stop it.
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: Room aesthetics or badges that they're super fans of super
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: fan status. They are insane.
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: It's like having your old subway token. You can't use it.
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: You just sort of put it up somewhere in your house.
- 1:06:56Speaker 3: I have faith, though.
- 1:06:58Speaker 7: Chris does have a CD player, so I have faith
- 1:07:00Speaker 7: in the Gen Z-ers.
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: I'm going to try to sell my CDs online now.
- 1:07:05Speaker 3: Good for you.
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: Could I start making some money?
- 1:07:07Speaker 13: Of course.
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: Man.
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: Oh, you too?
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: Chris just, I'm going to, I will, I promise. I
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: just wanted to hear what Crash had to say. He
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: nodded his head and then was silent. Now let's get
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: to some talkbacks.
- 1:07:22Speaker 10: Man, it's a dirty day. End of the night, it's
- 1:07:25Speaker 10: about a guy and a 16-year-old girl. Okay, you're talking
- 1:07:29Speaker 10: about the Toys at Toys R Us. And I'm going
- 1:07:32Speaker 10: to tie my one-hit wonder into Afternoon Delight by the
- 1:07:37Speaker 10: Starland Vocal Band. So it's a big three-pack there. Mardonis
- 1:07:42Speaker 10: and the 16-year-old, Toys R Us, and the Afternoon Delight
- 1:07:46Speaker 10: by Starland Vocal Band.
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: All right, let's get to another talkback real quick.
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know why one has to do with
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: the other. It's great you guys are reporting.
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: This, but I don't think there's too many Amish people
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: at the airport. What the heck was that about? Did
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: we talk about Amish people at the airport?
- 1:08:06Speaker 7: Well, we were talking about the measles outbreak and then
- 1:08:09Speaker 7: the vaccines.
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: No, they actually have traced somebody to the airport. That's

- 1:10:44Speaker 16: there's a small political stink over a big stink at
- 1:10:47Speaker 16: a park in Staten Island.
- 1:10:49Speaker 15: Everyone seems to agree that something is causing a big
- 1:10:52Speaker 15: stink at Staten Island's Clove Lakes Park, and it's been
- 1:10:55Speaker 15: there for years. Borough President Vito Fusilla and State Senator
- 1:10:59Speaker 15: Andrew Lanza say it's bad piping spewing sewage into a
- 1:11:03Speaker 15: waterway connected to Clove Lake. City Parks Department agrees there's
- 1:11:07Speaker 15: a problem. The lake's been closed after testing, but the
- 1:11:10Speaker 15: department also says there aren't any sewer lines flowing into
- 1:11:13Speaker 15: the lake, so it's not a bad pipe problem. Vassella's
- 1:11:17Speaker 15: calling for a task force to fix it. Looks like
- 1:11:19Speaker 15: the city will participate. Andrew Whitman, WOR News.

- 1:12:45Speaker 2: All right, let's bring in Jimmy Fallon, host. Nine to
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: midnight of Fox Across America with Jimmy Fallon. And host
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: of the Fox News Saturday Night with Jimmy Fallon on
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: the Fox News channel, Jimmy Fallon. I'm glad you're here
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: today because I need you to explain to me this
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: love affair between Zoram Mamdani and Donald Trump. I mean,
- 1:13:07Speaker 2: he calls him a communist. Trump calls Mamdani a communist.
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: Mamdani calls Trump a fascist. And yet they get together.
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: It's like a love story.
- 1:13:17Speaker 13: Well, you know, you're kind of missing the larger point.
- 1:13:20Speaker 13: It's UN week.
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:13:22Speaker 8: And there's so.
- 1:13:23Speaker 13: Many hookers in town that love is just in the air.
- 1:13:28Speaker 13: You guys, you gotta get it, okay? That's why you
- 1:13:31Speaker 13: bring on a cab driver.
- 1:13:32Speaker 8: They've been swept up in this Lady and the Trump moment.
- 1:13:37Speaker 13: Where, you know, there's so many diplomats.
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: Coming in to shag call girls between meetings.
- 1:13:42Speaker 8: I'm a former cab driver. I know how this works.
- 1:13:45Speaker 13: And they're just doing their part.
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: They're just doing.
- 1:13:48Speaker 13: Their part, man.
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, Jimmy. And remember, they have immunity. So even
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: if they get swept up by the police, police can't
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: touch them. It's not even a no bail situation. You
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: can't touch me. I'm a diplomat. And Jimmy, you probably
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: had to drive them home oftentimes after they were granted
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: complete ambassadorial immunity.
- 1:14:11Speaker 8: Well, that's the point I wanted to make. Yes, they
- 1:14:14Speaker 8: have immunity, but a lot of them still end up
- 1:14:17Speaker 8: in handcuffs.
- 1:14:19Speaker 2: All right, let's stay on the hookers for a second.
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: Is it an all-star cast? Do they fly in from
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: around the country for this weekend or this week?
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: They do.
- 1:14:31Speaker 6: Okay, that is a thing.
- 1:14:33Speaker 8: And back in the day, like, you know, if you're
- 1:14:35Speaker 8: a medallion driver specifically, they will hire you for the
- 1:14:40Speaker 8: day or for the week because there's a lot of
- 1:14:42Speaker 8: street closures. But the reason a cab is valuable is
- 1:14:46Speaker 8: you show up in a cab, you look like a
- 1:14:48Speaker 8: local resident. You grab a bag of groceries or you
- 1:14:50Speaker 8: borrow a dog and the cop lets you down the block.
- 1:14:53Speaker 8: If you pull up in a Cadillac Escalade.
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: They know what you're up to.
- 1:14:57Speaker 13: So, yes, I should be in the sequel to Pretty
- 1:15:00Speaker 13: Women is what I'm trying to say.
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, you're on point. By the way, both
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: I and your favorite here, Natalie Magliore, were at the
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: San Gennaro Festival yesterday. getting reactions of the people. And
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: I got to tell you, the Paisan Nation in Nassau County,
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: from Franklin Square to Glen Cove to Mozza Pizza, will say, hey,
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: where's Jimmy Fallon? Did he forget us normal people? He's
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: too big for us now for the sausage and peppers
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: and the zeppoles.
- 1:15:29Speaker 6: Can you imagine?
- 1:15:30Speaker 8: No, Jimmy is getting chased through Zanzanero with a wardrobe.
- 1:15:33Speaker 6: Department and an Ozempic needle.
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: That's why I don't go.
- 1:15:38Speaker 8: I show up, I look at the Zeppelis, and all
- 1:15:40Speaker 8: of a sudden someone comes running after me with a needle.
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: No good for me, Kurt.
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: Hey, Jimmy, this event you're doing is pretty exciting. We
- 1:15:49Speaker 2: understand you're going to be doing a night of comedy
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: at the Kuchina Calandra in Fairfield, New Jersey on October 28th.
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: What does this all entail and how do people take part?
- 1:16:02Speaker 8: Well, listen, if you want to go see, you're going
- 1:16:05Speaker 8: to see me in my natural habitat doing what I
- 1:16:07Speaker 8: do best.
- 1:16:07Speaker 6: Which is drinking Merlot.
- 1:16:10Speaker 13: And, you know, it's going to be a lot of
- 1:16:11Speaker 13: silly jokes. And we're going to eat some of the,
- 1:16:13Speaker 13: I mean, it's internationally renowned bread.
- 1:16:16Speaker 6: If you don't know that about Kavita Kalani.
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:16:18Speaker 6: Bread is actually very, yes. But to the point that
- 1:16:21Speaker 6: people are too.
- 1:16:21Speaker 13: Passionate about it. Like, Larry, I like Italian bread. It's
- 1:16:24Speaker 13: probably my favorite thing in the world. But, you know,
- 1:16:26Speaker 13: Italians like Italian bread too much.
- 1:16:28Speaker 6: It's like, oh, you.
- 1:16:29Speaker 13: Got to try the bread, bro.
- 1:16:30Speaker 8: I'm like, I'm going to.
- 1:16:31Speaker 13: No, bro, did you try the bread?
- 1:16:32Speaker 8: Seriously, try the bread.
- 1:16:33Speaker 13: You're getting threatened.
- 1:16:34Speaker 12: I'm like, I'm going to eat the bread.
- 1:16:38Speaker 8: So if you're going to come, first and foremost, laugh
- 1:16:41Speaker 8: at my jokes, but eat the bread. Just sit down
- 1:16:43Speaker 8: and eat the bread so you don't get jumped by
- 1:16:45Speaker 8: someone's nana because they're very passionate people.
- 1:16:48Speaker 13: So it's a lot of jokes, and it's an intimate setting,
- 1:16:51Speaker 13: which I'm excited about. I'm usually on the road.
- 1:16:53Speaker 8: There's 2,000 people in a theater. This is like where
- 1:16:57Speaker 8: I come from. And as a bonus, you're seeing a
- 1:17:00Speaker 8: comedian who looks like he gets paid in cannolis.
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: So it works out. So you're doing a full set?
- 1:17:07Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
- 1:17:08Speaker 2: You're doing a full set, and there's a meet-and-greet also,
- 1:17:10Speaker 2: so people get to talk to you afterwards. That's great.
- 1:17:14Speaker 13: Meet-and-greet, but in Italian restaurants, it's more like a tip-and-touch.
- 1:17:18Speaker 6: Okay?
- 1:17:19Speaker 13: They're very handy people. They're very handy.
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:17:23Speaker 13: I'm all too familiar with this. I have a lot
- 1:17:25Speaker 13: of these relatives. But, yeah, I'm pumped up for this.
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what, if you want tickets and
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: who wouldn't want to go to this, you go to
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: 710WOR. com slash Jimmy. Once again, that's 710WOR. com slash Jimmy. It
- 1:17:41Speaker 2: sounds great.
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: Now, let me ask you real quick, Jimmy, with the
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: Ed Sheeran controversy, have you ever had that when you're
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: doing a club with other comedians where they bring up
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: politics and they get booed off the stage?
- 1:17:54Speaker 8: Well, it's funny you say this because Macklemore is opening
- 1:17:57Speaker 8: for me at Kavita Calandra.
- 1:17:59Speaker 13: Yeah. He had an opening in the schedule. I don't
- 1:18:06Speaker 13: know if you heard.
- 1:18:08Speaker 22: No.
- 1:18:08Speaker 12: And Curtis, to that point.
- 1:18:10Speaker 8: No one should be doing this at any type of event.
- 1:18:14Speaker 8: It's just forget even the politics. And I just want
- 1:18:16Speaker 8: to be left alone to my music, which we should
- 1:18:18Speaker 8: all agree on.
- 1:18:19Speaker 13: It's also just the buzzkill. You know, think of Coachella.
- 1:18:23Speaker 13: Those people fly to the desert, drop acid, and they're
- 1:18:26Speaker 13: dancing for 12 hours. And all of a sudden the
- 1:18:29Speaker 13: music stops and Bernie Sanders says they're all going.
- 1:18:31Speaker 8: To die from climate change. Doesn't that kill the vibe?
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: And I would imagine, like, if you're headlining someplace as
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: a comic and the opener does something controversial and all
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: the attention goes to that person, that person's never going
- 1:18:47Speaker 2: to open for you again, right?
- 1:18:49Speaker 8: Yeah, you would. want them to, especially if they're making
- 1:18:52Speaker 8: the event about something else.
- 1:18:54Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying?
- 1:18:55Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly. That was the whole point. It's like, imagine
- 1:18:58Speaker 8: you go, you know, your sister's getting married, and right
- 1:19:01Speaker 8: before she comes down the aisle, somebody gets up there
- 1:19:03Speaker 8: and starts giving a Save the Whales speech.
- 1:19:06Speaker 6: You know?
- 1:19:07Speaker 8: I mean, it's usually the bridesmaid that most resembles a whale,
- 1:19:10Speaker 8: but I mean, nobody asked for this.
- 1:19:13Speaker 2: Hey, one last time, tickets to see Jimmy at Kuchina
- 1:19:17Speaker 2: Calandra in Fairfield, New Jersey. On October 28th, he's going
- 1:19:21Speaker 2: to do a set. It's a meet and greet, and
- 1:19:23Speaker 2: it's tremendous food. You can't lose. 710WOR. com slash Jimmy. Thanks
- 1:19:29Speaker 2: a lot, Jimmy.
- 1:19:30Speaker 6: Love you guys.
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: See you. You go to bed with Jimmy Fallon, 9
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: to 12, right here at 710WOR, Monday through Friday. And
- 1:19:37Speaker 1: then you wake up with Larry and yours truly. So
- 1:19:40Speaker 1: within the 9 o'clock hour, the President of the United
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: States will get in front of the podium. in front
- 1:19:47Speaker 1: of the assembled delegates of the UN General Assembly and
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: give his speech. The preview has been that he's going
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: to talk about the dangers of Iran having a nuclear weapon.
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: I think the president, Larry, has to make sure that
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: he does not mimic what Bibi Netanyahu, as prime minister,
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: has been saying since 2012 when he gives his yearly speech.
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: You may have remembered that cartoon drawing of a bomb
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: he had in his hand and claiming, oh, Iran's going
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: to have a nuclear weapon. We can't permit that because
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: it's just a repetition. And you got a lot of
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: the assembly there in the UN who is just going
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: to say, okay, and what are you going to do
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: about it? Just like Americans are saying, okay, and what
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: are you going to do about it, Mr. President? So
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: Hopefully he takes a different tact, a different approach to it,
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: and not be accused of just being sort of the
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: parrot of Bibi Netanyahu who will give his speech on Thursday.
- 1:20:53Speaker 2: I think it's fascinating that he's going there to speak,
- 1:20:55Speaker 2: and of course he's going to. It's an important speech.
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: It's going to get a lot of coverage, and he's
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: never shied away from coverage. But at the same time,
- 1:21:02Speaker 2: he's been saying that the UN should not exist here
- 1:21:05Speaker 2: in New York. As a matter of fact, he's been
- 1:21:08Speaker 2: saying the UN shouldn't even exist as an institution, that
- 1:21:11Speaker 2: we don't need it anymore. I'm glad that it exists,
- 1:21:15Speaker 2: but wouldn't you agree, Curtis, that they need to move
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: this somewhere else? It shouldn't be here. I wouldn't mind
- 1:21:22Speaker 2: being in another country. It doesn't have to be in
- 1:21:24Speaker 2: the United States.
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: Well, the perfect place is like Zurich and Switzerland, neutral.
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: You know, a neutral country. Switzerland has always been neutral.
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: So I would agree with that, but I got to
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: tell you, As much as the politicians moan and groan
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: about it being here, they like the attention that comes
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: when the U.N.
- 1:21:43Speaker 2: General Assembly is in town. Yeah, I get that, but
- 1:21:46Speaker 2: it's just a pain. And do we make money or
- 1:21:49Speaker 2: do we lose money on the U.N.? That's an interesting question.
- 1:21:53Speaker 2: I haven't really dived into that, but. My feeling is
- 1:21:57Speaker 2: we probably end up losing money in the long run.
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, because then we have to contribute to the
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: NYPD and all the special services that have to be provided. So, oh, absolutely.
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: It comes through the federal budget. So it's costing us,
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: the taxpayers, money. And remember, all these fiends, these tyrants,
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: these despots– These totalitarian dictators, when they get tickets, they
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: don't pay their tickets.
- 1:22:22Speaker 13: Right.
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: So we end up basically having to eat them. So, no,
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: it's one big costly effort. But it's got to be
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: more than just saying it. It's got to be saying, OK,
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: who else wants it? And I know Zurich would prefer
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: to do it, as would Nairobi and Kenya. I don't
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: think they'll go to Nairobi and Kenya. No, no, no, no, no.
- 1:22:40Speaker 2: Zurich seems to be the perfect spot just so it's
- 1:22:43Speaker 2: not here. What a headache this place is. And it
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: means nothing. And they're never on our side doing anything.
- 1:22:49Speaker 2: So we should just, we should evict them. Don't even
- 1:22:53Speaker 2: wait for them. Just send them an eviction notice and say,
- 1:22:56Speaker 2: you've got 30 days to move on.
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: Well, and on our talkback winner this morning, he's taking
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: home a Curtis Lee when Larry mentee in the morning t-shirt,
- 1:23:06Speaker 1: even though she didn't seem too thrilled when I admitted
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: that That I could cook to kill.
