Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the Morning. Entertaining and informative.
- 0:05Speaker 2: On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 0:09Speaker 3: Congratulations, Sid, on your induction into the New York State
- 0:13Speaker 3: Broadcasters Hall of Fame. I completely agree with President Trump.
- 0:17Speaker 3: It's unbelievable it took them so long. Sid, you've not
- 0:20Speaker 3: only become one of the great voices of New York
- 0:23Speaker 3: and America, you're one of the greatest voices of truth
- 0:26Speaker 3: for Israel. And there's a reason you have such an
- 0:29Speaker 3: enormous audience. You don't blabber woke nonsense. You don't tell
- 0:34Speaker 3: people what the fashionable crowd thinks they should hear. You
- 0:37Speaker 3: tell them the truth, the hard truth. And you tell
- 0:41Speaker 3: it with passion, with humor, and with absolutely no fear. Sid,
- 0:46Speaker 3: I want you to know, Israel knows who its friends are.
- 0:50Speaker 3: You've stood with us when it was popular, and more importantly,
- 0:53Speaker 3: when it wasn't. That means a great deal to me.
- 0:56Speaker 3: It means a great deal to the people of Israel.
- 0:59Speaker 3: So thank you, Sid, and congratulations. The Hall of Fame
- 1:03Speaker 3: just got a lot louder and a lot better. Mazel Tov, Sid.
- 1:08Speaker 4: They came without warning. On October 7th, Palestinian terrorists led
- 1:13Speaker 4: by Hamas unleashed a relentless wave of terror that shattered
- 1:17Speaker 4: everything in its path. In an instant, life changed forever.
- 1:23Speaker 4: Homes once filled with laughter became battlefields. Streets that bustled
- 1:28Speaker 4: with life were turned into scenes of horror. Innocent civilians, families, children,
- 1:35Speaker 4: became targets of a brutal attack that shook the very
- 1:38Speaker 4: soul of Israel. Within hours, the unimaginable had unfolded. Approximately 1,200
- 1:45Speaker 4: lives stolen in cold blood. Each one, a story, a dream,
- 1:51Speaker 4: a future, taken too soon. And as the scale of
- 1:55Speaker 4: the attack became clear, another horror emerged. 251 people had
- 2:02Speaker 4: been kidnapped and dragged into Gaza. Mothers, fathers, children, and
- 2:09Speaker 4: the elderly. Torn from their families and their lives. The
- 2:21Speaker 4: scars of that day run deep. Etched into the hearts
- 2:24Speaker 4: of every Israeli. Etched into the history of this nation.
- 2:29Speaker 4: The weight of that loss remains. The faces of those murdered.
- 2:34Speaker 4: The stories of those taken. And the lives forever changed.
- 2:39Speaker 4: It's a grief that never fades. A trauma that binds
- 2:43Speaker 4: us all. But amid the horror, something remarkable happened. In
- 2:52Speaker 4: the face of pure evil, the spirit of Israel emerged
- 2:56Speaker 4: stronger than ever before. Communities, once separated by distance, united
- 3:05Speaker 4: as one. Volunteers poured in from every corner of the country,
- 3:11Speaker 4: offering shelter, food, clothing, and comfort. People who had never
- 3:18Speaker 4: met embraced each other like family. From the deepest sorrow,
- 3:23Speaker 4: a wave of compassion, resilience, and unity swept across the land.
- 3:30Speaker 4: Throughout our history, we have faced the impossible. And every time,
- 3:35Speaker 4: we've risen above it with an unbreakable will to survive, rebuild,
- 3:40Speaker 4: and move forward. The loss remains. Every name, every face
- 3:51Speaker 4: is remembered. We honor those who were murdered, the heroes
- 3:56Speaker 4: who sacrificed everything, and all those whose lives were forever changed.
- 4:09Speaker 4: But as we remember, we also look ahead. We don't
- 4:13Speaker 4: just survive.
- 4:15Speaker 5: We thrive.
- 4:16Speaker 4: We dream of a future where peace is a reality,
- 4:19Speaker 4: not just a distant hope. A future where terror is
- 4:23Speaker 4: a memory, and Israel stands as a beacon of resilience, innovation,
- 4:27Speaker 4: and hope for all. The road ahead is long, but
- 4:33Speaker 4: if history has taught us anything, it's that Israel does
- 4:36Speaker 4: not back down. We will defend our people and our land,
- 4:40Speaker 4: while never losing sight of our dream. A peaceful, prosperous
- 4:45Speaker 4: future for Israel and the entire region. We remember, we honor,
- 4:55Speaker 4: and we look forward with hope in our hearts and
- 4:58Speaker 4: an unshakable belief in the future.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Here now at the site of the Nova Music Festival,
- 5:05Speaker 1: where beautiful young ladies like that.
- 5:08Speaker 6: Came to enjoy a show like we would have done
- 5:11Speaker 6: back in American Woodstock back in 1969. And the terrorists came,
- 5:16Speaker 6: and now this once fun-filled film with music and laughter
- 5:20Speaker 6: has been reduced to pictures and memorials for the dead.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Take a look around, all these beautiful people, all these
- 5:28Speaker 1: beautiful people.
- 5:30Speaker 6: Now all we see are smiling pictures, yard-side candles, in memory.
- 5:40Speaker 7: Of a tragic day here at the Nova Music Festival.
- 5:43Speaker 1: God bless Israel. His name is Isaac Herzog.
- 5:46Speaker 8: Mr.
- 5:47Speaker 1: President.
- 5:48Speaker 9: On that noontime, it was Friday, and it was the
- 5:52Speaker 9: 6th of October, exactly 50 years to the date of
- 5:58Speaker 9: the 1973 Yom Kippur War, where Israel was attacked again
- 6:03Speaker 9: by surprise from Egypt and from Syria, and went to
- 6:07Speaker 9: one of its most challenging and painful wars. And so
- 6:12Speaker 9: we marked Israel. That noon, 50 years to the war,
- 6:17Speaker 9: and I went to a ceremony of an army military
- 6:24Speaker 9: ceremony of a brigade that functioned heroically in the battlefront
- 6:29Speaker 9: 50 years earlier. So there were many old people, some
- 6:34Speaker 9: in wheelchairs. Some lost their hands and legs and heavily wounded,
- 6:39Speaker 9: and they even came with grandchildren and great-grandchildren. And I
- 6:43Speaker 9: came back home. I said to my wife, listen, you know,
- 6:47Speaker 9: this nation is unbeatable. I saw these people. They fought
- 6:53Speaker 9: like lions, and now they're coming with their great-grandchildren. And
- 6:57Speaker 9: the next morning, it starts again. The next morning, 629 sirens,
- 7:03Speaker 9: a major surprise attack. and terrorists swarm in by the
- 7:09Speaker 9: thousands and they burn and they hijack and they rape
- 7:16Speaker 9: and they kill innocent civilians all throughout the border with
- 7:21Speaker 9: Gaza in the most horrific tragedy since the Holocaust for
- 7:26Speaker 9: the Jewish people.
- 7:27Speaker 10: I don't usually work on Sunday mornings. I like to
- 7:32Speaker 10: have a cup of coffee and spend the day with
- 7:34Speaker 10: my family and watch football. But I come to you
- 7:38Speaker 10: this morning with a profound sense of sadness over what's
- 7:42Speaker 10: happened in Israel over the last couple of days. Videos
- 7:48Speaker 10: of women and children and young men murdered, taken hostage.
- 7:57Speaker 1: It's sad.
- 8:01Speaker 10: And while I hate to make it about politics today,
- 8:03Speaker 10: let's get right to the truth, okay? When Joe Biden's
- 8:06Speaker 10: administration gives $ 6 billion to the Iranians who were celebrating
- 8:09Speaker 10: in parliament yesterday, death to the United States, death to Israel.
- 8:13Speaker 10: People like AOC and Omar and that Democrat party that
- 8:16Speaker 10: hate the Jews. I can't help but think if Donald
- 8:18Speaker 10: Trump was still president, this never would have happened. So please,
- 8:23Speaker 10: pray for Israel today. God bless Israel.
- 8:26Speaker 8: Please pray.
- 8:28Speaker 1: My dear friend Mark Provisar, who spends his days and
- 8:31Speaker 1: nights protecting the Jewish people in Judea and Samaria. The
- 8:36Speaker 1: Goyim call it the West Bank. We don't. Judea and
- 8:39Speaker 1: Samaria listening right now. Thank you, Mark. And Michael Rappaport,
- 8:44Speaker 1: the amazing comedic actor who will join me live in
- 8:47Speaker 1: about 40 minutes. He's in Israel this morning listening right now.
- 8:51Speaker 1: Many Israelis listen to this show. I'm sure Judah Honeckman
- 8:55Speaker 1: is listening and many others. Every day I've got a
- 8:58Speaker 1: big audience in Israel. As I do around the country,
- 9:03Speaker 1: Miami and other states, even though the show is not syndicated,
- 9:07Speaker 1: of course, the iPhone makes it possible to listen anywhere
- 9:12Speaker 1: in the world, the 377 WABC app. So for my
- 9:16Speaker 1: haters out there, my detractors, the idiots that claim I'm
- 9:21Speaker 1: Israel first, when of course we all know that's not
- 9:24Speaker 1: even close to being true, I'm America first. But I
- 9:27Speaker 1: am Israel second. Proud to say that. I'm not the
- 9:30Speaker 1: UK second. I'm not a whole bunch of other European
- 9:35Speaker 1: countries second. I'm America first. I'm Israel second. You guys
- 9:40Speaker 1: know I said this yesterday. Right after we celebrated our
- 9:44Speaker 1: 250th birthday here in America, July the 4th, I decided
- 9:48Speaker 1: that Monday, July the 6th, I would spend about three
- 9:53Speaker 1: months focusing on 9-11. And I did it. Okay, I
- 9:57Speaker 1: did it. I brought on Giovanni Galante, his first radio interview,
- 10:02Speaker 1: the brave Staten Island man that started the petition to
- 10:06Speaker 1: keep Mamdani away from ground zero. He lost his beautiful wife, Grace,
- 10:11Speaker 1: on 9-11. I brought on many family victims from that day,
- 10:17Speaker 1: played many clips from that day, and dedicated 9-11 that
- 10:22Speaker 1: whole day to the worst day in our country's history.
- 10:27Speaker 1: But for the folks again out there that describe Sid
- 10:29Speaker 1: as Israel first, today's the day you're going to be right,
- 10:34Speaker 1: because today I am Israel first. Don't get me wrong.
- 10:38Speaker 1: I'm aware that my buddy President Trump is in Texas today.
- 10:42Speaker 1: In fact, talking about Texas, a guy that I call
- 10:46Speaker 1: Teddy Politics, like Ted Williams, Teddy Baseball, Teddy Politics, Ted Cruz,
- 10:53Speaker 1: will join me on this program tomorrow. Very excited about that.
- 10:56Speaker 1: And trust me, all over the Bruce Blateman, Kathy Hochul situation,
- 11:01Speaker 1: my plan is to still join Bruce and President Trump
- 11:04Speaker 1: up in Syracuse on Friday, keeping a very close eye
- 11:09Speaker 1: on the Cornell situation. Your friend there, Lewis, I love
- 11:12Speaker 1: her too, Saritha, running against Letitia James for Attorney General.
- 11:17Speaker 1: They're going to have their debate on New York One
- 11:20Speaker 1: tomorrow night. The fat, stupid, black, racist Errol Lewis will
- 11:24Speaker 1: moderate it. Sarita will join us on this show Friday
- 11:28Speaker 1: to recap her debate performance.
- 11:29Speaker 11: She is amazing.
- 11:30Speaker 1: She's great. So I'm all over it. But today, this
- 11:34Speaker 1: show is mostly going to be about October the 7th.
- 11:39Speaker 1: So let me warn some of you right now. If
- 11:41Speaker 1: you listen to the show, but you're tired of the
- 11:44Speaker 1: Jewish stuff, don't listen. I don't care. I really don't care.
- 11:49Speaker 1: I'd rather the ratings tank today, which it won't. It
- 11:53Speaker 1: won't because most of my listeners are great Americans and
- 11:57Speaker 1: great New Yorkers and love the Jewish people. But for
- 12:00Speaker 1: some of you, the very small percentage of that may
- 12:03Speaker 1: not be the case. Go listen to something else. I
- 12:05Speaker 1: don't care. And I got to tell you something else. Nobody, nobody,
- 12:10Speaker 1: even at the station, better critique me today. I'm in
- 12:13Speaker 1: no mood. I'm in no mood today.
- 12:15Speaker 8: This is it.
- 12:16Speaker 1: You want to hear about Israel? You want to hear
- 12:18Speaker 1: about the midterms for the millionth time? Go change the station.
- 12:25Speaker 1: I have to look at today's cover of the New
- 12:27Speaker 1: York Post, okay, and see soulless. That's the cover of
- 12:34Speaker 1: today's New York Post. Because this city, which is a rotten,
- 12:39Speaker 1: disgusting city, and I got to stay because I'm one
- 12:43Speaker 1: of the few people that can really help save it.
- 12:46Speaker 1: A lot of people talk a lot. They do nothing.
- 12:49Speaker 1: I'm one of the few people that can help save it.
- 12:51Speaker 1: I've had people on this show and off the air
- 12:53Speaker 1: say to me, Sid, you can't leave. Right? You can't
- 12:58Speaker 1: decide to go to Miami and do a show there.
- 13:01Speaker 1: And I thought about that. Trust me. I think about
- 13:03Speaker 1: a lot of things, all right? I think about a
- 13:06Speaker 1: lot of things. I'm not tied to anything, any place, anywhere.
- 13:11Speaker 1: I'm not. But they say to me, Sid, you can't leave.
- 13:16Speaker 1: You're about all we've got left. And I see the
- 13:19Speaker 1: headline and the front cover of the New York Post,
- 13:24Speaker 1: and you're going to have these pro-Hamas, pro-Palestine, even though,
- 13:29Speaker 1: once again, for the millionth time, Hamas, they're Palestinians, you morons.
- 13:34Speaker 1: They're Palestinians. And many Palestinians who didn't wear the green
- 13:40Speaker 1: outfits took part. and helped for many, many months. And
- 13:46Speaker 1: on that day, October the 7th, for all you people
- 13:49Speaker 1: that claim you're destroyed over what's happening to the Palestinian people,
- 13:53Speaker 1: you have no idea what you're talking about. You just
- 13:55Speaker 1: want to hate on the Jews. So these animals, who've
- 14:01Speaker 1: been given permission to take over our streets since the
- 14:05Speaker 1: feckless Eric Adams administration, they are planning to march today
- 14:12Speaker 1: in New York to celebrate Hamas and October the 7th.
- 14:16Speaker 1: That's our city. Did you see that, Noam?
- 14:18Speaker 12: I did.
- 14:20Speaker 1: And I'm going to say this right now. If I
- 14:23Speaker 1: happen to bump into one of these people on the street,
- 14:25Speaker 1: and you don't want to take me off the air,
- 14:26Speaker 1: I don't care. I am threatening violence. I will punch
- 14:30Speaker 1: them across the face. I am threatening violence. I see
- 14:34Speaker 1: you walking in the street with a sign that glorifies
- 14:38Speaker 1: October the 7th, and I'm going to physically harm you.
- 14:43Speaker 1: I'm warning the cops right now. Scott Monroe, you guys,
- 14:46Speaker 1: Jessica Tisch. That's the mood I'm in today. If I
- 14:51Speaker 1: got arrested, I've been there before. No big deal. No biggie.
- 14:55Speaker 1: In New York City, you get arrested, you're back home
- 14:57Speaker 1: in 15 minutes. I really don't care, no. If I
- 15:00Speaker 1: see these animals walking the streets and one walks past me,
- 15:05Speaker 1: I'm going to punch him. You know, I'm not kidding, Noam, right?
- 15:09Speaker 7: No, and I'm going to give you a Sharpie so
- 15:11Speaker 7: you can write my phone number on your wrist.
- 15:13Speaker 8: I love that.
- 15:15Speaker 7: Because they take your phone away, and so then when
- 15:17Speaker 7: you have your one call, you can call me if
- 15:19Speaker 7: you want.
- 15:19Speaker 1: Oh, I can call my wife. I mean, I love
- 15:21Speaker 1: you for saying that, but she happens to be an attorney,
- 15:23Speaker 1: although she has left me in jail a couple of times.
- 15:26Speaker 7: You may have a better shot with me getting you out.
- 15:28Speaker 1: Yeah, I probably do. You're right. Okay, good idea, Noam.
- 15:30Speaker 11: Very good.
- 15:31Speaker 1: Very good idea, Noam. You'll be my first and only call.
- 15:35Speaker 1: But today, three years ago today, was just an unbelievably
- 15:39Speaker 1: brutal day. And I remember that Saturday, I really wasn't
- 15:45Speaker 1: paying much attention. I was watching college football and going
- 15:49Speaker 1: about my business. And I had just spoken to the candidate,
- 15:55Speaker 1: the candidate, President Trump, like a couple of days before.
- 16:01Speaker 1: And I was making plans to speak to and see
- 16:04Speaker 1: President Trump again because if you guys really paid attention
- 16:08Speaker 1: to this show, you remember more than anybody else at
- 16:11Speaker 1: this station or even in New York, Trump leaned on
- 16:14Speaker 1: me during his candidacy. He was on this show way
- 16:18Speaker 1: more than any other show, way more. And he would
- 16:21Speaker 1: say all the time, Sid, help me get New York.
- 16:23Speaker 1: You remember that, no? And he was so appreciative of
- 16:26Speaker 1: my efforts that that he had me speak at Madison
- 16:30Speaker 1: Square Garden nine days before the actual election. And even
- 16:36Speaker 1: though a lot of people hated my speech, my own
- 16:38Speaker 1: family was disappointed. I know my speech was great because
- 16:43Speaker 1: years and years later, when they talk about the speeches
- 16:46Speaker 1: at the Garden, they still mention me. Now, unfortunately, I get,
- 16:50Speaker 1: you know, kind of lobbed in there with that idiot
- 16:52Speaker 1: who made that Puerto Rican joke, that stupid comedian. But
- 16:56Speaker 1: I knew... that I had about 10 minutes to really
- 16:59Speaker 1: make a difference for people to remember. And even though, again,
- 17:02Speaker 1: it was curse-laden and all those things, I knew what
- 17:06Speaker 1: I was doing. And I don't regret one sentence from
- 17:09Speaker 1: that day. And neither did President Trump. I remember people writing, oh,
- 17:13Speaker 1: Trump is going to be furious with Sid Roth. You know,
- 17:15Speaker 1: like the local message boards and the New York Times.
- 17:19Speaker 1: Trump is going to want Sid fired. Katsimatidis is going
- 17:21Speaker 1: to fire Sid. You remember all that, right, Noam? I do.
- 17:24Speaker 1: I mean, they've only done that about a million times,
- 17:26Speaker 1: these morons. Trump loved it. John didn't care. John was
- 17:31Speaker 1: happy I was there. So on that specific Saturday, I
- 17:35Speaker 1: really wasn't paying attention. But then Sunday morning I got up,
- 17:41Speaker 1: and it's a football Sunday, and I'm listening. My Sundays
- 17:45Speaker 1: are always the same. I get up in the morning.
- 17:48Speaker 1: Sometimes I will walk to Reese Park with Danielle if
- 17:52Speaker 1: the weather's okay. We have a cup of coffee together.
- 17:55Speaker 1: We used to watch Maria Bartiromo, but Fox News screwed
- 17:58Speaker 1: that up. I put on some of these NFL pregame
- 18:02Speaker 1: shows for about five minutes before I get sick of those.
- 18:06Speaker 1: And then I get ready for football. And on this
- 18:08Speaker 1: specific Sunday, October the 8th, 2023, Something was supposed to
- 18:14Speaker 1: happen in the NFL that day that only happens like
- 18:16Speaker 1: once every five years, not preseason, regular season football. And
- 18:20Speaker 1: that is the Jets were playing my Giants. And I
- 18:24Speaker 1: was excited about that. That's a big deal, you know.
- 18:28Speaker 1: And I woke up that Sunday morning and I went downstairs.
- 18:31Speaker 1: Danielle was still asleep. And I got ready for my
- 18:35Speaker 1: traditional football ritual. And I started scrolling through my phone.
- 18:42Speaker 1: And all the messages popping up on Instagram and all
- 18:46Speaker 1: my social media. What about Israel? And how bodies were
- 18:53Speaker 1: still strewn all over the road. How cars were still
- 18:58Speaker 1: on fire from the RPGs that Hamas fired into teenagers
- 19:04Speaker 1: trying to drive away from Nova. How babies were still
- 19:08Speaker 1: in the oven. How naked girls were still on the street.
- 19:14Speaker 1: How some of these vans, which kidnapped 251 Israelis, and
- 19:19Speaker 1: we do know that 87 of those bodies were returned dead.
- 19:25Speaker 1: How those vans in the back of their trucks had
- 19:30Speaker 1: Israeli hostages, some naked girls who were already dead. And
- 19:35Speaker 1: then watching those videos of those trucks, we enter in
- 19:38Speaker 1: Gaza to see young children. You know those young children
- 19:42Speaker 1: you're all so upset about? running in the streets and
- 19:45Speaker 1: literally spitting on the bodies that were in there. those trucks.
- 19:52Speaker 1: Parents handing out candy to the children. Children dancing in
- 19:55Speaker 1: the streets, celebrating the murder and the rape of innocent Israelis.
- 20:02Speaker 1: That's what really happened, okay? Not what Tucker Carlson wants
- 20:06Speaker 1: you to believe. or the rest of these losers and
- 20:09Speaker 1: low lives, or the people that will walk the streets
- 20:11Speaker 1: of New York City today. I just wish Jessica Tisch
- 20:14Speaker 1: would arrest all of them as soon as they leave
- 20:16Speaker 1: their homes. If I hear one more time their First
- 20:21Speaker 1: Amendment right, I'm going to be nauseous. And this is
- 20:24Speaker 1: where I get mad at people like Frank Morano, who's
- 20:26Speaker 1: one of my best friends. I love the guy. I'm
- 20:28Speaker 1: sorry if you guys are mad at him. I don't care. Vito, John,
- 20:31Speaker 1: I don't care. I love the guy. You know, but
- 20:35Speaker 1: he has these beliefs. that are archaic, you know. The
- 20:43Speaker 1: First Amendment wasn't scripted so that people can walk through
- 20:46Speaker 1: the streets and celebrate rape and murder. That wasn't the
- 20:50Speaker 1: intent behind the First Amendment. Frank and anybody else who's
- 20:53Speaker 1: okay with this. Like the judge who's never been back
- 20:56Speaker 1: on this show and never will be. Done with him.
- 20:59Speaker 1: You know, if you're okay with what happened at Columbia
- 21:01Speaker 1: University or you're okay with pro-Humas people marching in the
- 21:04Speaker 1: streets today, fuck you. Oh, sorry. Dumped that.
- 21:08Speaker 13: Sorry.
- 21:09Speaker 1: A few. I actually cursed.
- 21:12Speaker 11: It's going to happen more today.
- 21:14Speaker 1: Well, it's going to be one of those days, Lou,
- 21:16Speaker 1: I'm just telling you.
- 21:17Speaker 11: I could see it.
- 21:18Speaker 1: Because as bad as October 7th was, and as grotesque
- 21:22Speaker 1: and disgusting as that day was, the three years since
- 21:28Speaker 1: may be worse. It may be worse.
- 21:32Speaker 11: Well, pretty much, because you see how it's revealed.
- 21:36Speaker 1: It's revealed that a lot of these people really believe
- 21:39Speaker 1: the war started October the 8th. October 8th. People like Chevalier.
- 21:45Speaker 1: I don't want to get too political about these idiots here,
- 21:47Speaker 1: but you know that lady that Mamdani has enthusiastically endorsed? Mamdani.
- 21:53Speaker 1: Same guy that put out a video last week talking
- 21:56Speaker 1: about his fight against anti-Semitism. You know that lying, thieving, radical,
- 22:00Speaker 1: Islam terrorist, jihad piece of garbage? You know him. He
- 22:05Speaker 1: enthusiastically endorses Chevalier.
- 22:07Speaker 14: Okay.
- 22:09Speaker 1: Well, the day after the 7th on the 8th, when
- 22:10Speaker 1: I was sitting there crying, trying to watch the Jets
- 22:13Speaker 1: and Giants, she was at an anti-Israel rally. You know that, Noam, right?
- 22:18Speaker 8: I do.
- 22:20Speaker 1: Noam's dad lived in Israel. He passed away last year.
- 22:25Speaker 1: Noam's got a long history with the people of Israel
- 22:27Speaker 1: in that country. And Noam, on that Monday morning, not
- 22:32Speaker 1: Sunday the 8th, but Monday the 9th, turned out to
- 22:35Speaker 1: be so helpful for me. I remember walking into the
- 22:38Speaker 1: studios that morning, really upset and sad. And I was
- 22:43Speaker 1: listening to Gnome Show. Gnome does a spectacular news show.
- 22:46Speaker 1: It's the best news show in New York. I'll say
- 22:48Speaker 1: it again, Ben Mavrak, I'm sorry. But as great as
- 22:51Speaker 1: 1010 Wins is, you got nothing on Gnome. I mean, nothing.
- 22:56Speaker 1: And this kid, Layton, was doing his 5 to 6 show.
- 23:02Speaker 1: And he brought on a guy. I never heard of
- 23:03Speaker 1: this guy. I never heard of JNS.org. You know, look.
- 23:07Speaker 1: For 56 years, I never went to Israel. I wanted to.
- 23:11Speaker 1: We considered making Gabriel's Bar Mitzvah back in Israel. Gaby
- 23:18Speaker 1: was Bar Mitzvahed six years ago. We didn't do it.
- 23:21Speaker 1: Never gone to Israel. So I wasn't familiar with Jewish
- 23:25Speaker 1: News Syndicate, okay? Or Jerusalem News Syndicate. I think that's
- 23:30Speaker 1: what it's called now. And I never heard of Alex Treyman.
- 23:34Speaker 1: So I walk in and I listen to Noam interview Alex.
- 23:39Speaker 1: And he was so brave and so courageous. His voice
- 23:42Speaker 1: was like any other day. It was two days after.
- 23:47Speaker 1: There were still dead bodies in the streets. And mind you,
- 23:52Speaker 1: this is one of the most decent, beautiful human beings
- 23:56Speaker 1: God has ever created. Alex Trayman and his lovely wife
- 24:00Speaker 1: Zippy and their beautiful family. And I said to Noam,
- 24:04Speaker 1: I said, Noam, who is that? And he said, his
- 24:07Speaker 1: name is Alex Treyman. And I don't even know Noam.
- 24:10Speaker 1: How did you become familiar with them?
- 24:13Speaker 15: Hmm.
- 24:13Speaker 7: I don't even know if I remember. Somebody recommended him,
- 24:16Speaker 7: but I can't remember who.
- 24:17Speaker 1: Okay. I said, Noam, would you happen to have his number?
- 24:19Speaker 1: He said, yes. And on that Monday morning, two days
- 24:23Speaker 1: after the atrocities, Monday, October the 9th, 2023, Alex Treyman
- 24:30Speaker 1: made his debut on this program. And now... For the
- 24:33Speaker 1: last two years, for the JNS.org International Policy Summit, which
- 24:39Speaker 1: includes speakers like Bibi Netanyahu, Mike Huckabee, Mark Levin, Ron Dermer,
- 24:46Speaker 1: the list goes on and on. Now I am a
- 24:49Speaker 1: featured speaker. They always put me in the very last
- 24:54Speaker 1: portion of the show. I've had Shabbat dinner at his house.
- 24:58Speaker 1: I've done my shows live for WABC from his studios
- 25:02Speaker 1: in Jerusalem. It's fair to say him and his family,
- 25:05Speaker 1: they become one of my best friends. And I believe
- 25:08Speaker 1: at last count, since October 9th, 2023, Alex Treyman, you'll
- 25:14Speaker 1: appreciate this, has been on this show almost 200 times.
- 25:18Speaker 15: Wow.
- 25:19Speaker 7: Is it that many?
- 25:20Speaker 8: Wow.
- 25:22Speaker 1: What a relationship we forged that day. And throughout the
- 25:26Speaker 1: whole process, the hostages and, you know, he's the one
- 25:31Speaker 1: that introduced me to Rachel Goldberg. You guys know, of course,
- 25:35Speaker 1: that I've got tremendous political differences with Rachel and John Goldberg.
- 25:39Speaker 1: But she was on this show about three times. OK,
- 25:44Speaker 1: she didn't really care. She's a Democrat. She was hoping
- 25:49Speaker 1: Biden would help. And he didn't. President Trump did more
- 25:53Speaker 1: in the first two months in office than Biden did
- 25:55Speaker 1: in years. But she was on this show. She trusted
- 26:00Speaker 1: me and she knew I loved Israel and wanted her
- 26:03Speaker 1: son Hirsch to come home. And he didn't. He was murdered.
- 26:06Speaker 1: He was executed, shot in the back of his head. Why?
- 26:09Speaker 1: Because the IDF were getting closer and closer to finding him.
- 26:17Speaker 1: You may remember earlier that week, was it a Jude?
- 26:21Speaker 1: Some man they found and rescued, and it turned out
- 26:25Speaker 1: that that man was very, very close in proximity to
- 26:29Speaker 1: where Hirsch was and five other hostages, and they murdered
- 26:32Speaker 1: all six. But I would call Alex and ask, hey,
- 26:37Speaker 1: what's going on with this and with that off the
- 26:39Speaker 1: air many times. And he would provide me with all
- 26:43Speaker 1: that information. It was such a gut-wrenching time. Again, outside
- 26:48Speaker 1: that day, much like 9-11 was not a one-day event,
- 26:53Speaker 1: we have people that are still sick and dying today.
- 26:57Speaker 1: October 7th was not a one-day event, folks. They took
- 27:00Speaker 1: 251 innocent people. And for the better part of two years,
- 27:09Speaker 1: we had to work our asses off to get him out.
- 27:11Speaker 1: Against an administration, people like Biden, Harris, who said, you
- 27:14Speaker 1: are not going into Rafa. Kamala Harris, who may be
- 27:18Speaker 1: the dumbest woman in the history of politics, I mean that,
- 27:21Speaker 1: her and AOC, neck for neck. She said, I studied
- 27:24Speaker 1: the maps. You studied the maps? Really, you liar? I
- 27:28Speaker 1: studied the maps. Can't do it. But thank God, Bibi Netanyahu,
- 27:33Speaker 1: the courageous and great Bibi, he didn't listen. We went
- 27:36Speaker 1: into Rafah and we rescued many hostages, including Noah Argaman,
- 27:41Speaker 1: you know who that is, Noam. Oh, and by the way,
- 27:45Speaker 1: while in Rafah, we killed the guy you may have
- 27:47Speaker 1: heard of, Sinwar, the mastermind behind the whole day. But
- 27:52Speaker 1: Biden and Harris said, don't you dare go in there.
- 27:55Speaker 1: There were so many obstacles that Israel had to deal
- 27:59Speaker 1: with and still does, still does. this growing number of
- 28:05Speaker 1: stupid people who do not want to be educated, who
- 28:09Speaker 1: do not want to hear the truth. I was scrolling
- 28:15Speaker 1: through Instagram this morning. There's some woman, I don't know
- 28:17Speaker 1: her name, but when you look at her, you know,
- 28:20Speaker 1: you know exactly what she is. And she's going on
- 28:25Speaker 1: and on about how Hamas didn't have the capacity both
- 28:31Speaker 1: to in terms of intelligence and weaponry to pull off
- 28:35Speaker 1: October the 7th. Everybody knows, those are the two words
- 28:39Speaker 1: that she used, everybody knows that Israel killed their own people.
- 28:46Speaker 1: She's not alone. I hear that from people all the time.
- 28:50Speaker 1: Israel was behind 9-11. Israel killed their own people on
- 28:56Speaker 1: October the 7th. These are people that live amongst us.
- 29:00Speaker 1: These are people that will be marching in the streets
- 29:03Speaker 1: of New York City today. Where is the condemnation from
- 29:07Speaker 1: Mayor Mamdani? None. And I don't want to make this
- 29:10Speaker 1: day about him, because that piece of garbage will never, ever, ever,
- 29:15Speaker 1: him and his wife, that skank, his disgusting, trashy, ugly,
- 29:21Speaker 1: inside-and-out wife, they will never, ever, ever sympathize and or
- 29:26Speaker 1: care enough about the Jewish people. He can do all
- 29:29Speaker 1: the videos he wants and that stupid Felicia Wisdom, she
- 29:33Speaker 1: can too. Any decent Jew, any person with half a
- 29:39Speaker 1: brain knows he's a liar and I hope to God
- 29:45Speaker 1: that on this day he does not tweet or do
- 29:48Speaker 1: any videos talking about how he's thinking about the Israelis
- 29:52Speaker 1: or the Jewish people just don't do it don't do
- 29:57Speaker 1: it I mean, have a little bit of dignity, Mr. Mamdani.
- 30:02Speaker 1: You showed up as it was, 9-11, sitting there yucking
- 30:06Speaker 1: it up with AOC while they read the names of
- 30:10Speaker 1: murdered Americans. Reading the names of murdered people, you sat
- 30:14Speaker 1: there and yucked it up with AOC. Do the Jewish
- 30:18Speaker 1: people a favor. And when I mean Jewish people, I
- 30:21Speaker 1: don't mean fake Jews like Brad Lander, another piece of garbage.
- 30:25Speaker 1: And don't tweet. Don't say anything. Just shut up. Because
- 30:29Speaker 1: the truth is, you were rooting for the other team.
- 30:33Speaker 1: That's right, I said it, to quote my friend Mark Levin.
- 30:35Speaker 1: That's right, I said it. You were rooting for the
- 30:38Speaker 1: other team. You and Mia Khalifa and all these other
- 30:41Speaker 1: folks talking about the resistance and the fight and the
- 30:47Speaker 1: poor Palestinians and these Israelis, these colonizers, these genocidal war
- 30:53Speaker 1: criminal murderers. Don't tweet. Don't say anything. But he will.
- 30:59Speaker 1: And maybe even Melissa Russo, who's a Jew, who should
- 31:02Speaker 1: be ashamed of herself. I wish somebody at NBC would
- 31:06Speaker 1: tell her. I know she hears this. Melissa, you're a disgrace.
- 31:11Speaker 8: Disgrace.
- 31:13Speaker 1: Marsha Kramer, no different. I don't know if I'm going
- 31:17Speaker 1: to put the girl from Channel 5 in that class.
- 31:19Speaker 1: I forgot her name already. I just don't care. But
- 31:22Speaker 1: the local media, who spends their days and nights sucking
- 31:25Speaker 1: up to Mayor Mamdani like he's some type of hero.
- 31:31Speaker 1: We don't want to hear from you today. We really don't.
- 31:34Speaker 1: Just like I fought for months, not for one day,
- 31:38Speaker 1: Israel versus Sid, for months to keep you away from
- 31:42Speaker 1: ground zero. We don't want to hear from you today.
- 31:46Speaker 1: All you're going to do, honestly, is kick us in
- 31:48Speaker 1: the face. You've done enough of that. Stay away. But
- 31:52Speaker 1: my gut tells me, Nolan, that he won't do that,
- 31:54Speaker 1: will he?
- 31:54Speaker 7: Well, he has actually something on the schedule. that he's
- 31:57Speaker 7: going to be at a vigil tonight.
- 31:59Speaker 8: Is he?
- 32:00Speaker 7: Honoring those killed in the attack.
- 32:01Speaker 1: And what assholes have invited him to a vigil for
- 32:06Speaker 1: the Judaism? Is it the Satmars, the Chabad, the Lubavitch?
- 32:10Speaker 1: Who is it?
- 32:10Speaker 7: I doubt it's the Satmar. I have to look and see.
- 32:12Speaker 7: I'm not exactly sure. But I will point out, he's
- 32:15Speaker 7: also expected to meet with Palestinian New Yorkers later in.
- 32:19Speaker 1: The day today. I'm sure he is. Those lovely Palestinian
- 32:21Speaker 1: New Yorkers. Those were Palestinians who carried out October the 7th.
- 32:26Speaker 1: radical palestinians hamas but they're palestinians lovely innocent people such
- 32:34Speaker 1: a shame is there anything else happening locally today that
- 32:39Speaker 1: honors the real victims the israelis.
- 32:41Speaker 7: Yeah there are uh i mean depends on where you
- 32:43Speaker 7: go across the city but yeah there are a fair
- 32:45Speaker 7: amount whether you go to brooklyn queens almost every borough
- 32:48Speaker 7: has something going on today that is for the most
- 32:50Speaker 7: part sponsored by the local jewish community there but We're
- 32:53Speaker 7: also seeing protests. There's going to be a protest student
- 32:56Speaker 7: walkout at Columbia University a little bit later today.
- 32:59Speaker 1: What are they protesting?
- 33:00Speaker 7: You can ask them. I mean, I assume it's the
- 33:03Speaker 7: war in Gaza.
- 33:04Speaker 1: Of course.
- 33:05Speaker 7: But, you know, the question you could pose, which is
- 33:07Speaker 7: an easy one, is, you know, why you could do
- 33:10Speaker 7: that protest on October 6th or October 8th.
- 33:13Speaker 1: None of they do it today.
- 33:13Speaker 7: But they choose today to stick it in the eye.
- 33:15Speaker 1: To stick it in our face. Yeah. And the mayor
- 33:17Speaker 1: does nothing about it. And Jessica Tisch, who's a very
- 33:20Speaker 1: good police commissioner and a lovely Jewish girl, she doesn't
- 33:22Speaker 1: hide that. She does nothing about it. Everybody in this
- 33:25Speaker 1: city loves to use that First Amendment statement. Remember Eric Adams?
- 33:30Speaker 1: I used to pepper Eric Adams all the time. Are
- 33:32Speaker 1: you going to do something about this, Mr.
- 33:33Speaker 16: Mayor?
- 33:34Speaker 17: No.
- 33:35Speaker 1: In New York, we believe in the First Amendment. Okay, great.
- 33:40Speaker 1: So the First Amendment includes people celebrating murder and rape.
- 33:44Speaker 1: I guess so. Right, I guess so. What are you
- 33:47Speaker 1: protesting today? The war in Gaza didn't start. on October
- 33:53Speaker 1: the 7th. It was after that. And I don't know.
- 33:57Speaker 1: I think Israel has every right to defend themselves militarily
- 34:01Speaker 1: and verbally. And until somebody shows me where they're getting
- 34:05Speaker 1: their information from, even Mike Wallace, World News Network today,
- 34:09Speaker 1: I told him to stop it. I don't know if
- 34:13Speaker 1: he could even hear me. Can he hear me? Well,
- 34:15Speaker 1: I don't care. He talked about the numbers of Palestinians. Hey, Mike,
- 34:20Speaker 1: shut up, okay? All of you people. I got kicked
- 34:23Speaker 1: out of the State of the Union. I got kicked
- 34:26Speaker 1: out because I yelled at Joe Biden. I screamed, says who?
- 34:31Speaker 1: You know why? Because he said that the Palestinian health ministry,
- 34:37Speaker 1: and of course the Palestinian health ministry is run by Hamas,
- 34:43Speaker 1: all the numbers that the Jew haters love to use
- 34:47Speaker 1: and love to quote, where are those numbers coming from?
- 34:51Speaker 1: They talk about the UN. The UN is the biggest
- 34:54Speaker 1: anti-Semitic body that maybe God ever created. They talk about
- 34:58Speaker 1: the ICC, International Clown Court, as Rappaport says. Also, a
- 35:03Speaker 1: huge anti-Semitic body. Where are real numbers coming from that
- 35:09Speaker 1: says that Israel is committing genocide, Noam? Where are they
- 35:13Speaker 1: coming from?
- 35:14Speaker 7: They're only coming from one place, the Hamas health ministry.
- 35:17Speaker 1: Ah, the Hamas. And is Hamas interested in Making Israel
- 35:20Speaker 1: look good? No. So when all these people like Tucker
- 35:23Speaker 1: Carlson and all these morons just spew that, that's a
- 35:27Speaker 1: terrible word, genocide, you know. That's a really bad word.
- 35:34Speaker 1: You don't just spew that out there. They have no proof.
- 35:38Speaker 1: They have no proof. They are believing the enemy. The
- 35:43Speaker 1: same people that unprovoked on a Shabbat holiday morning went
- 35:49Speaker 1: in and savagely raped and murdered and brutalized these people
- 35:54Speaker 1: are the same people giving you those numbers, you stupid bastards.
- 35:58Speaker 1: And you just spew them as if they are credible.
- 36:03Speaker 1: And then you've got millions and millions of Americans believing it.
- 36:07Speaker 1: And it doesn't matter how much I yell and scream
- 36:09Speaker 1: or curse. I do the best I can. I've been
- 36:13Speaker 1: back to Israel five times since October of 2023. I'll
- 36:17Speaker 1: be back in May of this year. It doesn't matter.
- 36:21Speaker 1: I'm so outnumbered in this fight. But that doesn't stop me.
- 36:28Speaker 1: It doesn't upset me. I continue to fight because I
- 36:32Speaker 1: know that I'm on the right side of history. I
- 36:35Speaker 1: know I am. I know I am. But am I frustrated?
- 36:38Speaker 14: Yes.
- 36:41Speaker 1: At times am I sad? Yes. Today am I sad?
- 36:45Speaker 8: Yes.
- 36:46Speaker 1: My city, outside of Israel, there's no city in the
- 36:50Speaker 1: world that's got more Jews than New York City, is
- 36:53Speaker 1: going to allow a pro-Hamas, anti-Israel march on the same
- 37:01Speaker 1: day three years ago that Israel was brutally attacked by terrorists. Noam,
- 37:10Speaker 1: what else do you have for me today, my friend?
- 37:12Speaker 7: None of it is pleasant, unfortunately. We have more. We
- 37:15Speaker 7: know more about this woman we told you about yesterday,
- 37:17Speaker 7: this 23-year-old mom up in the Bronx who was thrown
- 37:21Speaker 7: from the balcony, the 15th-story balcony apartment of hers by
- 37:25Speaker 7: an ex-boyfriend that police have been unable to find. Her
- 37:28Speaker 7: baby was thrown as well. And now we're finding out,
- 37:31Speaker 7: I mean, the only upside of the story, if there
- 37:34Speaker 7: is one, is that the way this woman fell, the
- 37:37Speaker 7: baby maybe landed on top of her and that may
- 37:41Speaker 7: have blunted the fall a little bit because the child
- 37:44Speaker 7: is still alive and critical but stable, and they think
- 37:46Speaker 7: this child's going to survive.
- 37:48Speaker 1: The report actually said, too, that she was begging the perp,
- 37:53Speaker 1: please don't do this, please don't do this, and the
- 37:56Speaker 1: person still did it.
- 37:57Speaker 7: Yeah, Natalie Ramirez is the woman's name. So she was
- 38:01Speaker 7: killed in the fall. Neighbors say that detectives and police
- 38:06Speaker 7: had been at this home for domestic violence calls a
- 38:08Speaker 7: number of times. over the last year or so. So far,
- 38:12Speaker 7: they'll find this guy, but they just haven't found him yet.
- 38:15Speaker 7: So that's an awful story. And then nationally, it's amazing,
- 38:20Speaker 7: this woman, Krista Pike, the one that they tried to
- 38:23Speaker 7: kill last week, they botched her execution down in Tennessee,
- 38:26Speaker 7: this woman who was on death row for murdering a
- 38:29Speaker 7: fellow student. She's awake, off the ventilator. She's speaking. Her
- 38:33Speaker 7: attorney's confirming yesterday that she regained consciousness at a Nashville hospital.
- 38:39Speaker 7: So now they've chained her with handcuffs to her hospital bed.
- 38:43Speaker 1: Just shoot her. You know, again, I'm not celebrating the
- 38:46Speaker 1: fact that she's alive. She is an awful murderer. She's
- 38:50Speaker 1: a terrible person. She tortured her victim. She actually saved
- 38:54Speaker 1: the skull of her victim in the spirit of Jeffrey Dahmer.
- 38:58Speaker 1: She needs to die. So I don't want to, I'm
- 39:00Speaker 1: not celebrating the fact that she's awake and she's alive.
- 39:03Speaker 1: Shoot her. I like what President Trump did yesterday. I
- 39:06Speaker 1: really do. When he decided that the Fort Hood killer,
- 39:11Speaker 1: the Muslim. Wow. Shocker. The Muslim who opened fire on
- 39:17Speaker 1: our innocent servicemen. He will die because, as Greg Kelly
- 39:21Speaker 1: said a couple of days ago, he's right. Forget about
- 39:23Speaker 1: the shot. It may not work. Can't find a vein.
- 39:25Speaker 1: Some people even survive the electric chair. For some reason,
- 39:29Speaker 1: all these bolts of electricity, they can withstand it. But
- 39:33Speaker 1: when you got a couple of people with firearms shooting
- 39:36Speaker 1: bullets at you, you ain't going to make it. So
- 39:38Speaker 1: just shoot these people. Shoot everybody. I don't care at
- 39:42Speaker 1: this point. My God, I don't care. Shoot her.
- 39:45Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, it's a legal mess trying to figure
- 39:47Speaker 7: out what's next for her.
- 39:49Speaker 1: So firing squad, you would make.
- 39:51Speaker 7: I mean, there is it's hard to find anybody. I
- 39:54Speaker 7: haven't found anybody that has any sympathy for her. But
- 39:56Speaker 7: the fact is, she's still alive.
- 39:57Speaker 1: Well, no, the reports are basically based on sympathy. Oh,
- 40:02Speaker 1: this poor woman. They could they had to do it
- 40:03Speaker 1: ten times or five times. Who cares? Oh, my God.
- 40:07Speaker 1: I know she's still human. And I know criminals out
- 40:10Speaker 1: there get mad at me. I said we're people, too.
- 40:13Speaker 1: But it depends on the crime. You know, what she
- 40:16Speaker 1: did was really nasty. She committed murder. She needs to die.
- 40:21Speaker 1: That's the bottom line. So just do it and move on.
- 40:25Speaker 1: What else you got?
- 40:26Speaker 7: Let's see. These NYPD numbers came out saying that crime
- 40:31Speaker 7: is at its lowest level in recorded history.
- 40:34Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 40:36Speaker 7: And it's interesting. You talk to people.
- 40:38Speaker 1: Well, nobody feels that way. Right.
- 40:39Speaker 7: Well, the perception is so completely different. People up in
- 40:42Speaker 7: the Bronx yesterday saying, did you survey my neighborhood?
- 40:46Speaker 8: Because.
- 40:47Speaker 7: That's not what I'm seeing on a daily basis.
- 40:49Speaker 1: The Bronx is awful. Let's have an honest conversation. The
- 40:52Speaker 1: Bronx is awful. It's terrible. The numbers there are not lower.
- 40:57Speaker 1: And if they are, then they must have been so
- 40:59Speaker 1: damn high that the fact that they're lower still doesn't
- 41:02Speaker 1: make it safe. And I don't want to crap on
- 41:04Speaker 1: Jessica Tisch because when the numbers come out and they're low,
- 41:08Speaker 1: I feel great for her. But then you get this
- 41:11Speaker 1: mayor who actually celebrates it like he had something to
- 41:14Speaker 1: do with it. My crime is down because of him.
- 41:17Speaker 1: He actually takes credit for it. But we know the truth.
- 41:20Speaker 1: Police are arresting less and less people because, A, the
- 41:25Speaker 1: perp gets out in 15 minutes. It's not worth it.
- 41:29Speaker 1: So the police, the real heroes in our city, it's
- 41:33Speaker 1: not because they're lazy. I never call a cop lazy.
- 41:37Speaker 1: But they're just arresting less people. That's why the numbers
- 41:41Speaker 1: are down in some respect. You know that, right?
- 41:43Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 41:44Speaker 1: They don't want to get involved in this nonsense. The
- 41:46Speaker 1: bad guy's out in 15 minutes. They've got to sit
- 41:48Speaker 1: there and do days and days of paperwork. They don't
- 41:50Speaker 1: want it. They don't want it. This city is still
- 41:53Speaker 1: a mess. Druggies all over town. I mean, I can't walk.
- 41:57Speaker 1: The other day I actually walked. Usually I take the
- 41:58Speaker 1: train from 51st to 42nd. I walked. It was a
- 42:02Speaker 1: beautiful day. I had something to do on 43rd. So
- 42:04Speaker 1: I walked from 49th to 42nd, seven blocks, middle of
- 42:09Speaker 1: the afternoon, beautiful 68-degree sunny weekday. I can't tell you
- 42:14Speaker 1: how many homeless junkies. Do I know if they're all criminals?
- 42:18Speaker 8: No.
- 42:19Speaker 1: But who cares? Who cares? We talk about quality of
- 42:22Speaker 1: life in New York City. Okay? It's not gotten any better.
- 42:27Speaker 1: In fact, it probably has gotten worse. So we can
- 42:30Speaker 1: celebrate all these numbers, which, again, are diluted. because they're
- 42:34Speaker 1: not honest numbers. It's kind of like the Palestinian health ministry.
- 42:39Speaker 1: None of these numbers are honest numbers. And again, I'm
- 42:43Speaker 1: not blaming Jessica Tisch, not even a little. But you
- 42:47Speaker 1: talk to any New Yorker outside of Arthur Aydala, who
- 42:52Speaker 1: lives and or works in New York City, and they
- 42:55Speaker 1: don't feel safe. They don't. These ridiculous rallies that go
- 43:00Speaker 1: on all day long and these protests and These people
- 43:04Speaker 1: are basically given as much leeway as they want. Hopefully
- 43:09Speaker 1: there'll be no violence in New York City today. There
- 43:11Speaker 1: will be if I bump into one of these people.
- 43:13Speaker 1: I'm not even kidding. But this city is not safe.
- 43:18Speaker 1: Let's stop the nonsense. What else you got?
- 43:21Speaker 7: They got the investigation into this alleged gang rape that
- 43:25Speaker 7: took place on the campus of Cornell back in 2024.
- 43:29Speaker 7: Now you have some of the attorney's These frat brothers
- 43:32Speaker 7: have lawyered up. Not only lawyered up.
- 43:35Speaker 1: They're out there in the New York Post yesterday claiming
- 43:37Speaker 1: they're the victims. They're actually wearing shirts. Cornell 7, we're
- 43:41Speaker 1: the victims. This girl wanted it. This girl was okay
- 43:45Speaker 1: with it.
- 43:45Speaker 7: Right, that she said it was okay.
- 43:47Speaker 1: She gave a thumbs up. And now I've got to
- 43:49Speaker 1: wake up in the morning and find out that I'm
- 43:51Speaker 1: a bad person? So, yes, not only are they lawyering up,
- 43:56Speaker 1: but they claim they are the victims, not her.
- 43:58Speaker 7: Yeah, well, their names obviously are out there for sure
- 44:01Speaker 7: on the Cornell campus. People know who they are, the
- 44:03Speaker 7: ones that are still at the school. And you have
- 44:05Speaker 7: Attorney Andrew Miltenberg. He's saying this is not going to
- 44:08Speaker 7: play out on social media, the court of public opinion.
- 44:12Speaker 7: He says they're not the arbiters of law and that
- 44:14Speaker 7: he's waiting for this court case or whatever happens, this
- 44:18Speaker 7: investigation to go forward. But he says he's worried because
- 44:21Speaker 7: he says in his case, his client, And he hasn't
- 44:23Speaker 7: really detailed, but he says his client is innocent of
- 44:26Speaker 7: whatever charges are coming his way. So, by the way,
- 44:29Speaker 7: Cornell has hired former U.S. Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates.
- 44:33Speaker 7: She's going to conduct an internal investigation on how the
- 44:36Speaker 7: university handled this, which clearly was probably not right.
- 44:39Speaker 1: Yeah, I know where she is.
- 44:40Speaker 7: And then there's a call for the president to step
- 44:44Speaker 7: down of Cornell University.
- 44:45Speaker 8: Right, right.
- 44:46Speaker 1: They never do, though. They never do, unless Stepanek. takes
- 44:50Speaker 1: them to Congress and kicks their ass. Even then, they
- 44:52Speaker 1: step down, but they still get paid. I remember we
- 44:55Speaker 1: were doing all these victory laps and congratulating Elise, and
- 44:58Speaker 1: she was great. Anybody who argues that as being silly,
- 45:02Speaker 1: Elise Stefanik was great. I mean, she cowardly exited the
- 45:06Speaker 1: governor race. Cowardly, I say that word. But she was
- 45:10Speaker 1: great in Congress. But the truth is, is that even
- 45:13Speaker 1: though a few of those ladies lost their jobs, not
- 45:16Speaker 1: all of them, but a few did, they still got paid.
- 45:20Speaker 1: One of them got paid upwards of a million dollars.
- 45:22Speaker 1: You know that, Noam, right?
- 45:23Speaker 7: You know, I have a brother that did contract law.
- 45:25Speaker 7: So he handled all these high-paid individuals who were going
- 45:30Speaker 7: to work for corporations. And more times than not, their
- 45:34Speaker 7: parachute on the way out was much bigger than their
- 45:36Speaker 7: payday while they worked.
- 45:37Speaker 1: Kind of like Imus. He loved CBS. He had to
- 45:40Speaker 1: pay them a lot more money than he was making.
- 45:43Speaker 1: He got fired, right? He was embarrassed. He was humiliated.
- 45:46Speaker 1: They called him all these horrible things. What he did
- 45:48Speaker 1: was racist. And he got more money to leave.
- 45:51Speaker 11: He got half his contract back.
- 45:53Speaker 1: I know. Oh, I know. Plus $ 22 million.
- 45:55Speaker 3: Anyway.
- 45:56Speaker 11: And Bernard almost lost his house.
- 45:57Speaker 1: Correct. And his job. And if not for Roger Ailes
- 46:00Speaker 1: and Bo Deedle, Bernard would not have come back to
- 46:03Speaker 1: the Amish in the morning show. I did speak to
- 46:05Speaker 1: Carol again last night. And, well, this is fantastic. Her daughter,
- 46:09Speaker 1: as I mentioned a million times, Melanie, is getting married
- 46:11Speaker 1: on Saturday morning. And I'll be there for the service.
- 46:15Speaker 1: And it turns out that the Monsignor... This is great news.
- 46:21Speaker 1: That is actually marrying Melanie McGurk and her husband, Michael.
- 46:25Speaker 1: You ready for this? Monsignor Casado.
- 46:28Speaker 7: Oh, that's nice.
- 46:29Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 46:29Speaker 11: Very nice.
- 46:29Speaker 1: Their guy, Brian something or other, wasn't able to make it.
- 46:33Speaker 1: There was some issue with their priest, the Monsignor. So
- 46:37Speaker 1: Casado is going to marry Bernie's daughter on Saturday.
- 46:41Speaker 11: That's great.
- 46:42Speaker 1: Carol sent me that text. She goes, I know he
- 46:44Speaker 1: loves you. He knows you. He knew Bernie. So that's
- 46:47Speaker 1: actually a nice piece of news on this. Difficult day.
- 46:50Speaker 1: Anything else, Noam?
- 46:51Speaker 7: And then it's do or die for the Yankees tonight
- 46:53Speaker 7: up in the Bronx. Down two zip, of course, to
- 46:55Speaker 7: the Rays. And if they don't win, it's a best
- 46:58Speaker 7: of five.
- 46:59Speaker 1: They are gone. Gone. That's it. They'll get swept. You know,
- 47:04Speaker 1: the Brewers had a chance to sweep the Padres last night,
- 47:07Speaker 1: but the Padres went back to San Diego and won.
- 47:10Speaker 1: So maybe the Yankees will take a page out of
- 47:11Speaker 1: San Diego's book and stay alive. The White Sox, they
- 47:16Speaker 1: have not lost a playoff game yet. They're 4-0. They
- 47:20Speaker 1: swept the two-game series on the road in Houston, and
- 47:23Speaker 1: they're up two games to nothing on Cleveland. They've got
- 47:26Speaker 1: a chance to sweep today. But the Yankees, yes, they
- 47:29Speaker 1: look to live another day with Max Breed on the
- 47:32Speaker 1: mound tonight. I spoke to Randy Levine last night. I
- 47:35Speaker 1: speak to Randy Levine just about every day. He's a
- 47:37Speaker 1: terrific guy. And the mood at Yankee Stadium will not
- 47:42Speaker 1: be great tonight. I was at the game one of
- 47:44Speaker 1: the Red Sox wild card. The place was buzzing wild. Why?
- 47:49Speaker 1: Because the Yankees were favored and they hadn't lost a
- 47:52Speaker 1: game yet. And I'm sure the night after was even better.
- 47:56Speaker 1: Now they return to Yankee Stadium for the first time
- 47:59Speaker 1: since eliminating Boston in Game 2 of the Wild Card
- 48:02Speaker 1: Series and they're facing elimination. I don't know how that
- 48:06Speaker 1: crowd is going to be in the Bronx later on tonight,
- 48:08Speaker 1: but We'll all be paying attention, I guess, right, Noam?
- 48:11Speaker 7: Yes, we will.
- 48:12Speaker 1: Not all of us. I guess the pro-Hamas people will
- 48:14Speaker 1: be busy.
- 48:14Speaker 7: Doing their own thing.
- 48:15Speaker 1: They've got their own thing going on.
- 48:17Speaker 7: They've got a celebration to go to.
- 48:18Speaker 1: Yeah, they do. We've got a lot going on this morning.
- 48:20Speaker 1: Michael Rappaport, the amazing comedic actor, he's lost a lot
- 48:24Speaker 1: of money, a lot of jobs, a lot of opportunities because,
- 48:27Speaker 1: like me, he has... spoken out about the truth. He
- 48:31Speaker 1: will join us live from Israel in the next 10 minutes.
- 48:35Speaker 1: We'll talk to David Bischoff. David Bischoff is a very,
- 48:38Speaker 1: very famous agent. In fact, happened to be the agent
- 48:41Speaker 1: for New York Giant quarterback Bill Sims. Did you know that, Lewis?
- 48:46Speaker 1: He's a big-time guy.
- 48:47Speaker 11: I think I heard.
- 48:48Speaker 1: He made a movie. The name of the movie is
- 48:50Speaker 1: The Bridge. It's scheduled for the release here today, October 7th.
- 48:55Speaker 1: And it directly coincides with today's three-year commemoration. But it's
- 49:01Speaker 1: all about music. You're going to love this one, Lewis.
- 49:05Speaker 1: So David Fischhoff will join us. Gabe Boxer will be here.
- 49:08Speaker 1: Looks like the great coach, Bruce Pearl, who's all over
- 49:11Speaker 1: Fox News today. He'll be here. And there's a chance
- 49:15Speaker 1: that the Israeli Prime Minister, Bibi Netanyahu, will make a
- 49:18Speaker 1: short visit as well.
- 49:21Speaker 14: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 49:24Speaker 14: Podcast Network.
- 49:26Speaker 1: He's a major star here. Major? He's a big-time actor,
- 49:31Speaker 1: big-time comedian, and he's a big-time New Yorker. Big time.
- 49:36Speaker 1: And it's my dear friend Michael Rappaport. Michael just did
- 49:40Speaker 1: a documentary. I saw it over the summer. In fact,
- 49:44Speaker 1: I sat right behind Debra. What is her name again?
- 49:49Speaker 1: I keep thinking about Debra Winger for some reason. The
- 49:52Speaker 1: one who just joined Bruce Blakeman's campaign. Debra Messing, right.
- 49:55Speaker 1: I posted the picture yesterday of me and Debra at
- 49:57Speaker 1: Michael Rappaport's screening of his amazing documentary, Am I Cancelled Yet?
- 50:03Speaker 1: And Debra hopped on board, as I just said, with
- 50:05Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman a couple of days ago. But you have
- 50:08Speaker 1: to see Mike's documentary because Rappaport, who is loud like
- 50:13Speaker 1: me all over Instagram and social media, doing documentaries and
- 50:17Speaker 1: speaking all over the world. He's lost a lot of opportunities,
- 50:21Speaker 1: a lot of jobs and doesn't do nearly the amount
- 50:24Speaker 1: of movies. And in his documentary, him and his beautiful wife. Man,
- 50:29Speaker 1: I love her. She's great. They're going, you know, they
- 50:33Speaker 1: had some some serious conversations and were nervous. Like, what
- 50:36Speaker 1: are we going to do? Nobody wants to hire me
- 50:39Speaker 1: because I'm on the right side of history. But that
- 50:42Speaker 1: didn't stop Michael, just like nothing stops me. So I'm
- 50:47Speaker 1: proud to call him a friend. And again, he's in
- 50:49Speaker 1: Israel this morning, the great Mike Rappaport. Michael, good morning, buddy.
- 50:53Speaker 1: How are you?
- 50:55Speaker 18: Sid, thanks for having me.
- 50:57Speaker 12: What an introduction. Can you record that so in the
- 51:00Speaker 12: morning I don't need an alarm playing music?
- 51:02Speaker 8: I just have, you know, like maybe just like a
- 51:04Speaker 8: little bit like a lower volume, but.
- 51:06Speaker 18: You just say all those fantastic things about me.
- 51:09Speaker 8: What a way to wake up.
- 51:10Speaker 1: Well, it's all true. And although Kibi probably wouldn't love
- 51:13Speaker 1: it so much, she loves you too. But it's all true.
- 51:15Speaker 1: And in fact, where are you this morning in Israel?
- 51:17Speaker 1: Where exactly are you?
- 51:19Speaker 18: I just came back inside the hotel.
- 51:21Speaker 12: I've been out all morning in Tel Aviv.
- 51:26Speaker 8: I've been in Jerusalem. I'm in Tel Aviv today.
- 51:29Speaker 12: And, you know, it's very melancholy. There's a lot of sadness.
- 51:32Speaker 12: There's a lot of hope. A lot of teary-eyed smiles.
- 51:39Speaker 18: A lot of contemplation.
- 51:41Speaker 12: Obviously, so many people have been through the worst of
- 51:47Speaker 12: the worst of the worst times. of times and families
- 51:50Speaker 12: have been destroyed and loved ones have been murdered and
- 51:54Speaker 12: never came back. And, you know, from, from, from the
- 51:58Speaker 12: most horrible to the idea of soldiers that have fought
- 52:03Speaker 12: and risked everything who've come.
- 52:05Speaker 18: Back with so many injuries, either physical.
- 52:08Speaker 12: Or, or mentally, emotionally, you know, everybody's been through something, you.
- 52:14Speaker 18: Know, there, I think everybody has, a Netflix series. Every
- 52:18Speaker 18: single person.
- 52:19Speaker 12: You talk to that's lived through October 7th has a
- 52:23Speaker 12: story where your mouth is a gate and you.
- 52:25Speaker 8: Know, the ones that are more dramatic.
- 52:26Speaker 18: To just the families who spent the last.
- 52:30Speaker 12: Three years running in and out of bomb.
- 52:32Speaker 18: Shelters with their kids. Um, that being said, you know, similar.
- 52:38Speaker 12: To New York and nine 11 life goes on.
- 52:40Speaker 18: Um, And, you know, you must keep stepping forward.
- 52:45Speaker 8: You must keep shining.
- 52:46Speaker 12: And this is the Jewish state of Israel and the
- 52:49Speaker 12: light will never go out.
- 52:51Speaker 8: And you've been here.
- 52:52Speaker 18: The people of Israel to me.
- 52:55Speaker 12: Are very much like the bread and butter.
- 52:57Speaker 8: People of Israel.
- 53:00Speaker 12: New York, the working class people from mostly from the boroughs,
- 53:05Speaker 12: the hardworking people, the gritty people, the ham and eggers,
- 53:10Speaker 12: the people that like are just humble and, you know, just,
- 53:14Speaker 12: you know, appreciate their family and appreciate, you know, watching
- 53:17Speaker 12: a game with their family. Like that to me is
- 53:20Speaker 12: very much akin of the Israeli people were very similar
- 53:24Speaker 12: to the best of the best of New Yorkers. Um, and, and,
- 53:27Speaker 12: and to.
- 53:28Speaker 18: Especially the kinds of people that listen to your show.
- 53:31Speaker 1: But unfortunately, Michael, and thank you for saying that. And
- 53:33Speaker 1: you're right about that. I'm not sure they're the majority
- 53:35Speaker 1: of people anymore. I mean, you're in Israel today, but
- 53:38Speaker 1: if you were home and sitting outside by your upper
- 53:41Speaker 1: East side apartment by Gracie mansion, maybe having a cup
- 53:44Speaker 1: of coffee at Starbucks, which you do occasionally in New
- 53:47Speaker 1: Yorkers love to meet and greet you. You would notice
- 53:49Speaker 1: that today, this is unbelievable. There are pro-Hamas rallies and protests. Pro-Hamas.
- 53:57Speaker 1: People celebrating what happened on October the 7th will be
- 54:00Speaker 1: roaming our streets in New York today. The mayor won't
- 54:04Speaker 1: do anything about it because he's with them. The police
- 54:06Speaker 1: commissioner has to chalk it up to the First Amendment.
- 54:10Speaker 1: So you talk about a sad day. Becoming exponentially more sad.
- 54:16Speaker 1: Your New York, which you just talked about in such
- 54:18Speaker 1: glowing terms, these animals are going to be up and
- 54:21Speaker 1: down the streets in big numbers.
- 54:25Speaker 18: Well, I'm aware of that, and I'm glad you don't
- 54:28Speaker 18: call them protesters.
- 54:30Speaker 12: Call them celebrators. They're celebrating death. They're celebrating rape. They're
- 54:35Speaker 12: celebrating kidnappers. They're celebrating arsonists. And they're not protesting anything.
- 54:41Speaker 18: This is like.
- 54:42Speaker 12: A year later for them after when the Knicks won
- 54:44Speaker 12: the championship. You'll kind of feel like that. That day
- 54:48Speaker 12: of October 7, three years.
- 54:49Speaker 18: Ago, was the greatest.
- 54:51Speaker 8: Accomplishment that the doctors.
- 54:54Speaker 18: The dentists, the school teachers, the civilians.
- 54:57Speaker 8: The fathers of Daza ever did.
- 55:00Speaker 12: That's why they celebrated like they won the championship. And
- 55:03Speaker 12: that's why these scumbums... in our city and these are
- 55:07Speaker 12: mostly elitist pigs or fake um you know refugees that
- 55:12Speaker 12: grew up here that have status because of the corrupt
- 55:15Speaker 12: uh which is connected to the corrupt united nations uh
- 55:20Speaker 12: these are people that if you can spend the day
- 55:24Speaker 12: celebrating anything On a random Thursday, on a random Wednesday,
- 55:31Speaker 12: how could you afford that lifestyle? Why aren't you at work, pig?
- 55:35Speaker 8: Why aren't you at work, scumbum? So these are people
- 55:38Speaker 8: that are getting paid. They're the disenfranchised. They're the miserable.
- 55:44Speaker 18: These are the same.
- 55:44Speaker 12: People that complain about everything. And more than they hate
- 55:48Speaker 12: the Jews, they hate themselves. And they hate themselves because
- 55:51Speaker 12: most of their mothers and their fathers, they didn't give
- 55:53Speaker 12: them the attention and nurturing that they yearn for.
- 55:58Speaker 8: So I understand what's going on. It's going to be
- 56:00Speaker 8: happening all over the world. It's a scar and a
- 56:03Speaker 8: stain on still the greatest city in the world. And
- 56:07Speaker 8: we know what we have in Gracie Mansion. And can
- 56:10Speaker 8: you imagine, Sid, three years ago.
- 56:13Speaker 18: On October 7th, when the animals, the.
- 56:16Speaker 12: Terrorists, were live broadcasting, not hiding it like most criminals.
- 56:22Speaker 12: Most criminals, arsonists, rapists, they don't want to get caught.
- 56:25Speaker 12: These people broadcast it in real time for the world
- 56:30Speaker 12: to see. They wanted us to see it. They showed
- 56:32Speaker 12: the world that the mayor of New York's wife was
- 56:37Speaker 12: watching that. and liking tweet after post, after video, after video.
- 56:44Speaker 8: Can you imagine seeing anything.
- 56:46Speaker 12: As horrible as that footage or those photographs from that
- 56:48Speaker 12: day and in real time?
- 56:51Speaker 8: And this is a female. This is a woman.
- 56:54Speaker 1: And she's liking it. And this is why I'm so
- 56:57Speaker 1: fed up with the New York media. I know her
- 56:59Speaker 1: last name sounds Italian, Russo. I've been killing this lady,
- 57:03Speaker 1: Melissa Russo, NBC locally. She's Jewish, okay? Her dad, Italian,
- 57:07Speaker 1: but her mother, Jewish. She saw me at the Israeli
- 57:10Speaker 1: Day Parade. She was very angry with me because I
- 57:12Speaker 1: said that Mamdani wants to see dead Jews. And I said, well,
- 57:16Speaker 1: wait a second. Until he demonizes the Intifada, that's what
- 57:19Speaker 1: that word means. What are you getting mad at me for?
- 57:22Speaker 1: And just last week, when the mayor made that ridiculous video,
- 57:26Speaker 1: he's going to combat anti-Semitism. Melissa Russo was right. She
- 57:30Speaker 1: was gushing. She was gushing. So she's despicable. Melissa Russo
- 57:35Speaker 1: at NBC, Marsha Kramer, CBS. She's not a heck of
- 57:38Speaker 1: a lot better. You've got a New York media that
- 57:41Speaker 1: fawns over this guy when the truth is he's an anti-Semite, jihad,
- 57:46Speaker 1: racist scumbag.
- 57:49Speaker 19: Period.
- 57:51Speaker 18: Period.
- 57:52Speaker 8: I concur. And his wife is also.
- 57:54Speaker 1: Period.
- 57:54Speaker 18: I concur.
- 57:55Speaker 1: And his father, who sat there, his father was one
- 57:57Speaker 1: of the guys that helped construct the Columbia stuff.
- 58:01Speaker 8: They're dogs. They're dogs. Corroded dogs. Sick puppies. So, yes,
- 58:06Speaker 8: we know this, but let's not talk about them.
- 58:08Speaker 12: Let's talk about us.
- 58:10Speaker 18: And let's talk about, and to really emphasize.
- 58:13Speaker 12: What happened that day should never be forgotten.
- 58:16Speaker 8: I will say, Sid, that, you know, when I'm here
- 58:19Speaker 8: in Israel and I contemplate, you know, my trips, your trips,
- 58:23Speaker 8: everything I've seen.
- 58:23Speaker 12: You know, all the people that I've met, all the
- 58:27Speaker 12: hostage families who had loved ones that never returned, some
- 58:30Speaker 12: who had the great miracle of having them returned.
- 58:35Speaker 18: You know, I just, you know, I just, it's just...
- 58:40Speaker 18: you know, so many lives were destroyed and there was
- 58:43Speaker 18: so much destruction.
- 58:45Speaker 12: And I really, you know, I would urge everybody in
- 58:48Speaker 12: New York with a heart to, to, to give a beat,
- 58:49Speaker 12: to give a prayer, to give a meditation, to, to,
- 58:52Speaker 12: to just give a thought, uh, to, to make sure
- 58:55Speaker 12: that those people, uh, their memory may, may forever be
- 58:58Speaker 12: a blessing.
- 58:59Speaker 16: Yes.
- 58:59Speaker 8: It's about most important because, you know, we can, we
- 59:02Speaker 8: can talk about, you know, the Yankees, you could talk
- 59:05Speaker 8: about the giants, but, but today is a, it's a,
- 59:07Speaker 8: it's a sad day. This is one of the, it's a,
- 59:10Speaker 8: historic day. And the fact that it, it's mutated into.
- 59:15Speaker 12: Scum bums in our city that will be dancing on
- 59:19Speaker 12: uh without jobs jobless bum bums uh is crazy.
- 59:24Speaker 8: That this has somehow been been okayed and they could
- 59:27Speaker 8: do it under the.
- 59:27Speaker 1: Guy they're also for some reason speech and all this
- 59:30Speaker 1: they're also physically repulsive i don't know why but i've
- 59:33Speaker 1: seen these people many rallies i've walked right in the
- 59:35Speaker 1: middle of them and they're all ugly i don't know
- 59:37Speaker 1: what it is but then this is part of the
- 59:39Speaker 1: reason why they've got Like you said, their parents never
- 59:41Speaker 1: cared about them. They're ugly. They're not hooking up with
- 59:45Speaker 1: good-looking people getting great jobs. So this is what they've
- 59:48Speaker 1: decided to do with their lives, which is really pathetic.
- 59:50Speaker 1: I do want to ask about you, though, Mike, because...
- 59:53Speaker 1: Your documentary, Am I Cancelled Yet?, I mentioned this at
- 59:55Speaker 1: the top of the conversation, goes into the conversation you
- 59:59Speaker 1: and your wife had a couple of times, serious conversations.
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: Here you are, a big-time actor. You've acted with everybody
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: from Robert De Niro to Jimmy Gandolfini to you name it.
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: You've made unbelievable movies, from Higher Learning to amazing, amazing
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: cable shows like... You've had an unbelievable career, and now,
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: the last couple of years, you've hit the scene on
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: the comedy side with big, big shows at the biggest
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: comedy clubs all over the country. But your career has
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: taken a bit of a beating the last couple of
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: years because, oh, my God, you decided you were going
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: to be on the right side of history. Do you regret,
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: Mike Rappaport, do you regret at any point sticking up
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: for the victims here, not the genocide people, the victims
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: because of what's happened in your personal life?
- 1:00:52Speaker 12: Not a regret. I will continue taking steps forward.
- 1:00:57Speaker 8: I have....
- 1:01:00Speaker 18: I will do it all again.
- 1:01:01Speaker 8: I'll continue doing it. I have nothing to apologize for.
- 1:01:05Speaker 8: I am.
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: It....
- 1:01:09Speaker 12: Nothing I did, nothing I said, how I behaved, everything
- 1:01:13Speaker 12: I've seen, it all came extremely natural. And it was
- 1:01:18Speaker 12: like drinking water and like breathing to me. And, you know,
- 1:01:21Speaker 12: as far as the.
- 1:01:22Speaker 8: Frustrations that I've suffered and deal with with my career,
- 1:01:26Speaker 8: it sucks. But I do believe that it'll come around.
- 1:01:29Speaker 8: I do believe that I'm talented. I do believe that,
- 1:01:32Speaker 8: you know, what I do as an actor, I'm professional.
- 1:01:36Speaker 8: I'm on time. I kick butt professionally.
- 1:01:38Speaker 12: On every show, every movie, every set, every day, every take,
- 1:01:42Speaker 12: I give blood.
- 1:01:43Speaker 8: Every single time I go to work. And it'll turn.
- 1:01:45Speaker 12: Around because I know I've done nothing wrong. I've broken
- 1:01:48Speaker 12: the laws. And, you know, I have to explain nothing
- 1:01:52Speaker 12: to nobody. And I'm looking forward. And I promise, you know,
- 1:01:55Speaker 12: in the next couple of probably maybe next week, Sid, I'm.
- 1:01:57Speaker 8: Going to come in.
- 1:01:59Speaker 18: To the station. If you'll allow me.
- 1:02:02Speaker 8: I know you're busy. You got a lot of friends.
- 1:02:03Speaker 18: A lot of people calling. And announce where.
- 1:02:06Speaker 8: Everybody can see the documentary. Am I canceled yet? Which
- 1:02:09Speaker 8: I'm very proud of. Which is very funny.
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: I can't wait.
- 1:02:11Speaker 8: Very emotional. Very inspiring.
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: So good.
- 1:02:13Speaker 8: And super honest.
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: So good.
- 1:02:15Speaker 12: And I think a lot of people will be able
- 1:02:16Speaker 12: to relate to it.
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: They're going to love it. And now I think I
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: saw this. I was so happy for you. I guess
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: you're at a screening somewhere in Israel. And the crowd
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: actually broke a record. Believe it or not, we actually
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: have data that backs this up. After the documentary was completed,
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: did you get a record-breaking, and deservedly so, 26-minute standing ovation?
- 1:02:43Speaker 8: Now, we're fact-checking it, Sid, and we're sending the numbers,
- 1:02:47Speaker 8: we're crunching the numbers and the data to the Guinness
- 1:02:51Speaker 8: Book of World Records.
- 1:02:53Speaker 12: But yes, and I had heard one of these documentaries.
- 1:02:56Speaker 18: At the Venice Film Festival once.
- 1:02:58Speaker 8: Got 25 minutes.
- 1:03:00Speaker 12: Which is absurd to me. Because, I mean, listen, I
- 1:03:03Speaker 12: love my kids. You love Gabriel, your beautiful son, your daughter.
- 1:03:06Speaker 12: I wouldn't clap.
- 1:03:08Speaker 8: There's nothing my kids could do that I would clap
- 1:03:11Speaker 8: more than 90 seconds. I mean, this is... So, yes,
- 1:03:15Speaker 8: it was a great night.
- 1:03:16Speaker 18: And, you know, the people here, like you know, the
- 1:03:18Speaker 18: people of Israel are.
- 1:03:21Speaker 12: incredibly spirited, gorgeous, fun, unique, just human beings. And I
- 1:03:29Speaker 12: appreciate my timing. I appreciate all the trips here. I
- 1:03:33Speaker 12: appreciate the love here. And I appreciate, you know, everything.
- 1:03:36Speaker 18: In New York, you know, from the people. And I'm
- 1:03:39Speaker 18: just a guy, man.
- 1:03:40Speaker 8: I'm just a guy.
- 1:03:41Speaker 18: My wife is just, you know.
- 1:03:42Speaker 8: A woman, you know, and I'm just a regular guy.
- 1:03:46Speaker 8: And I'm just, you know, like, you know, I'm just
- 1:03:49Speaker 8: a dude. I'm just a dude from.
- 1:03:51Speaker 18: from New York City.
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: You're more than that, man, and I love when people
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: go crazy when they see you in Israel. It's all deserved, man.
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: I mean, you've been amazing. I mean, you and I
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: were friends before, and we've had some fun times on
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: the radio, but what you've done the last three years,
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: let me say it because you're a humble guy, what
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: you've done the last three years is nothing short of magnificent.
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: You've become One of the great, and I mean great,
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: Jewish people, fighters for Israel in the history of that country.
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: And I know how it goes when you walk the
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: streets there, Mike. They go nuts. And that makes me very,
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: very happy. Enjoy your day there today. I know, again,
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: it is a solemn day. Are you planning to go
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: to any other, I don't know, rallies? meetings or vigils.
- 1:04:35Speaker 8: There's some, some memorials and some get togethers and, and, and, uh,
- 1:04:39Speaker 8: you know, I'm, um, I'm going to be there. And,
- 1:04:41Speaker 8: and I mean, it's like the whole state of Israel,
- 1:04:44Speaker 8: it's one big memorial going on all over the place. Uh,
- 1:04:48Speaker 8: you know, even, you know, the businesses, I think everybody
- 1:04:51Speaker 8: is very, very aware of it. And, and, uh, you know,
- 1:04:54Speaker 8: but yes, I'm going to something later on this evening
- 1:04:56Speaker 8: and then I'll be on my way back to New York.
- 1:04:58Speaker 8: It's been a great trip. And, you know, and like
- 1:05:01Speaker 8: I said, hopefully I can come see you in.
- 1:05:04Speaker 12: The flesh because you dress fantastically. Have you ever made
- 1:05:06Speaker 12: like one of the radio's best dressed list? This is
- 1:05:11Speaker 12: one of the things that I feel like you, I mean,
- 1:05:14Speaker 12: you got that face, that gorgeous face and that beautiful,
- 1:05:17Speaker 12: beautiful bald head. But you dress, you are, no, Sid,
- 1:05:22Speaker 12: you are a finely dressed man.
- 1:05:25Speaker 8: Like you don't play around.
- 1:05:26Speaker 12: And you come in there when it's, 3.30 in the
- 1:05:29Speaker 12: morning in the winter, sharp.
- 1:05:31Speaker 8: As a tack.
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: Well, thank you very much. I do take that seriously, Joe.
- 1:05:36Speaker 8: I'm serious. I mean, people, this is what you should,
- 1:05:39Speaker 8: I mean, you post.
- 1:05:41Speaker 18: The clips on the radio, you know, from the radio,
- 1:05:43Speaker 18: but I'm like, every.
- 1:05:44Speaker 8: Time I come in there, I mean, the guy, the
- 1:05:47Speaker 8: suits fit fantastic.
- 1:05:49Speaker 18: You smell good.
- 1:05:50Speaker 12: You look good.
- 1:05:51Speaker 8: But the clothing, the linen, the cotton, you do it all.
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: Mike, I couldn't love you more than I do. Joseph
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: Abu taught me many, many years ago, you can never
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: be overdressed, but you can certainly be underdressed. And I
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: can actually point to the day where I stopped wearing
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: shorts and T-shirts to do my radio show when my
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: credibility went through the roof and people like presidents and
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: prime ministers started paying attention. Did it help you? Oh,
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: it helped me tremendously. Tremendously. It really did.
- 1:06:22Speaker 8: All right. All right.
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: Thank you for taking notice, Mike. Have a safe trip home.
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: I love you so much. Thank you for this great conversation.
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: Thank you, Michael. Thank you.
- 1:06:30Speaker 8: I love your family.
- 1:06:30Speaker 18: I send love, and I'm sending love to everybody in
- 1:06:32Speaker 18: New York City.
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: We all love you, too. The amazing comedic actor alive
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: in Israel this morning, the very talented Michael Rappaport.
- 1:06:41Speaker 7: Sid and friends.
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: In the morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 1:06:47Speaker 15: I don't know if you guys know or not, but
- 1:06:50Speaker 15: I'm not Jewish. I grew up in a small town
- 1:06:54Speaker 15: in Seymour, Indiana, and the word anti-Semitism, we didn't.
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: Know what the that meant.
- 1:07:02Speaker 15: I mean, it wasn't talked about. It was a complete
- 1:07:05Speaker 15: foreign concept to me. We all have the same color blood,
- 1:07:08Speaker 15: so what the difference to make if it's your skin?
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: I went to work for a guy when I was 14.
- 1:07:15Speaker 15: And his name was A.B.
- 1:07:16Speaker 8: Ossoff.
- 1:07:17Speaker 15: He owned a woman's fashion store.
- 1:07:18Speaker 20: Me and another kid would clean up after the day
- 1:07:23Speaker 20: was done. And then one night, it was my girlfriend's birthday,
- 1:07:26Speaker 20: and I didn't have any money. So I stole some
- 1:07:29Speaker 20: perfume out of A.B.
- 1:07:31Speaker 7: 's store.
- 1:07:32Speaker 15: And a few days went by, and A.B.
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: Called me up.
- 1:07:36Speaker 15: He said, John, I want to talk to you.
- 1:07:37Speaker 7: I thought, oh, hell, I'm caught.
- 1:07:39Speaker 15: He said, you know, John, you don't.
- 1:07:41Speaker 7: Have to steal from me.
- 1:07:43Speaker 15: You just ask me and I'll give it to you.
- 1:07:46Speaker 15: And that's when I first understood the kindness of the
- 1:07:51Speaker 15: Jewish community. I don't like to call it anti-Semitism. It's
- 1:07:56Speaker 15: too polite a word for what it really is. Hatred
- 1:08:00Speaker 15: is what it really is. But I promise this to
- 1:08:02Speaker 15: the Jewish people. I will remain a staunch ally to
- 1:08:06Speaker 15: you guys as long as I live.
- 1:08:12Speaker 4: As long as I'm on the server.
- 1:08:13Speaker 8: To the Jewish haters, I say f * * * you.
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: Celebrating the streets of New York today, rape and murder
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: and annihilation. They're going to be celebrating that today. While
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: this mayor, this lying, thieving mayor, celebrates it too with
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: his skank wife, but will go to some vigil tonight
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: as if he cares. John Cougar Mellencamp. So A, I
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: never would have thought I heard that from a kid
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: from a small town. in Indiana. But secondly, according to
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: the great Lou Rapinoe, today is John's birthday.
- 1:08:46Speaker 11: Yeah, I saw that.
- 1:08:48Speaker 21: And then I remembered, I saw a post recently of
- 1:08:51Speaker 21: him doing that speech. And he has said it several times.
- 1:08:57Speaker 21: And I think that was from last year at this
- 1:09:00Speaker 21: community for peace gala at peace gala was in Los Angeles.
- 1:09:06Speaker 11: So he had performed, gave a speech, which you heard.
- 1:09:11Speaker 21: And, uh, I remember hearing pieces of it in the
- 1:09:14Speaker 21: last couple of days.
- 1:09:15Speaker 11: And then I saw his birthday today.
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: That's great. How old is John today?
- 1:09:18Speaker 11: Uh, 75.
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: 75 on October the 7th. John Cougar, Mellencamp. One of
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: my all-time favorites. I had no idea. And talking about
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: music on October the 7th, I met my next guest
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: in Jerusalem a couple of months ago in June. Turns
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: out he happens to be the agent for the great
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: New York football Giants quarterback, Phil Simms. In fact, I
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: texted Phil. from Israel that night and said, I'm with
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: your buddy David Fischhoff. He said, oh my God, I
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: love him. But talking about music, there's something called the
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp, which David Fischhoff created. And
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: now there's a movie in and around it that is
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: inspired by by the events of three years ago today.
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: If you're confused, don't worry about it. It's going to
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: be great. Phil Simms, agent and writer, producer, director. I
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: guess he's all those things. I don't even know. David
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: Bischoff makes his debut on Sid and Friends in the Morning.
- 1:10:21Speaker 7: Sid and Friends.
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: In the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: David Bischoff, who happens to be the agent over the
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: years for the great quarterback of the Giants, Bill Sims.
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: And so these kids were able to get through all
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: the atrocities and horror they saw with the help of music.
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: And ironically, you just played Guns N' Roses, Louis. Bands
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: like Guns N' Roses, Van Halen, Black Sabbath, those were
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: some of the bands that helped the kids. The film
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: is produced and directed by Kevin Bright, Emmy Award-winning producer.
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: also the director of Friends, and David Fischhoff, who I
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: just mentioned, and is joining me right now. David, good morning, buddy.
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: How are you?
- 1:11:11Speaker 18: How's it?
- 1:11:12Speaker 8: I'm so excited to be here, and I just came
- 1:11:15Speaker 8: in from Jerusalem, where we met, where we saw each other.
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: What, is that where you are right now, you said?
- 1:11:19Speaker 8: No, no, no. I just landed. I landed this morning,
- 1:11:22Speaker 8: and I'm excited about showing the film tonight at the
- 1:11:25Speaker 8: JCC in Manhattan.
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Yeah, we met at the... in Jerusalem
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: at the JNS.org summit. And you were there, and you said, hey,
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: I represented Bill Sims. You know, I'm so close to
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: Bill Sims. I don't do a ton of sports on
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: the show, but I do my fair share. I talk
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: about it every day. And usually when it's a big
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: football story, I bring on Bill. Bill's been my buddy
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: for the better, I don't know, 25 years. So before
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: we get to the film, what was it like representing
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: the great number 11 for the Giants?
- 1:11:59Speaker 8: It was amazing. I mean, throughout his entire career, I
- 1:12:03Speaker 8: think we spoke every morning. And, you know, being an
- 1:12:07Speaker 8: Orthodox Jew, he knew that he knew from the Sabbath,
- 1:12:11Speaker 8: you know, he would he said, enjoy your Sabbath. But
- 1:12:14Speaker 8: my favorite story, my favorite all time story about Phil
- 1:12:16Speaker 8: Simmons is I went to the Super Bowl when the
- 1:12:19Speaker 8: year the Giants were in it. It was just celebrated
- 1:12:21Speaker 8: 40 years. And I wanted to spend the week.
- 1:12:23Speaker 18: With him because, you know, that was the week when Disney, we.
- 1:12:26Speaker 8: Were making deals for Disney and sneakers and hat deals. And,
- 1:12:29Speaker 8: you know, I need to be there with him down there.
- 1:12:32Speaker 8: And I turned to him on Friday and I said, Phil,
- 1:12:34Speaker 8: I said, you know, I'm not going to be here
- 1:12:37Speaker 8: on Sabbath. I'm going to go off to Beverly Hills area.
- 1:12:39Speaker 8: I'm going to stay away from Sabbath. I'll be up there.
- 1:12:42Speaker 8: And Phil Simms, and you know that whole week was,
- 1:12:45Speaker 8: I would say it was Elway, Elway, Elway. And, you know,
- 1:12:48Speaker 8: they weren't giving Phil the credit that he deserved. And
- 1:12:51Speaker 8: all of a sudden, Phil Simms turned to me on
- 1:12:53Speaker 8: Friday afternoon. He says, hey, Fishoff, don't worry about it.
- 1:12:55Speaker 8: Your Sabbath is more important than the Super Bowl. And
- 1:12:58Speaker 8: he went on that Sunday and he broke every record.
- 1:13:01Speaker 8: And it's just it's amazing. He's just an incredible, incredible
- 1:13:05Speaker 8: person and really an honor to work with him for
- 1:13:08Speaker 8: so many years. And and he's just an incredible person.
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: I love him, too.
- 1:13:14Speaker 8: I love him. Yeah, you got it.
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: Mr. Moorhead stayed out of Kentucky, comes to New York,
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: and now he's friends and being represented by Jewish people.
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: He never met a Jewish person in Kentucky, trust me. Right, right.
- 1:13:24Speaker 18: That's what he said to me.
- 1:13:27Speaker 8: He said, my father told me to find a Jew
- 1:13:29Speaker 8: to represent me, not to make the money.
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: And he was magnificent in Pasadena that Sunday and had
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: a great, great career. I think he's listening somewhere in
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: Franklin Lakes, New Jersey right now. So, Phil, we love him.
- 1:13:42Speaker 8: He's a legend.
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: He is. All right, so I saw you at that summit.
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: You said, hey, Sid Rosenberg and I know you're a
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: big fighter for the Jews. And I want to tell
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: you about this movie. And the name of the documentary
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: is The Bridge. Now, I just read the very short version, David.
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: As you said, they're going to show the screening today
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: at the JCC in Manhattan. So if you would, please
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: tell my audience exactly what this movie is all about.
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: What I've read, it sounds incredible.
- 1:14:13Speaker 8: So for the last 30 years, I've been producing a
- 1:14:16Speaker 8: rock and roll fantasy camp, the camp where you can
- 1:14:19Speaker 8: go and jam with the guys from Kiss. You can
- 1:14:21Speaker 8: go to jams, Alice Cooper, Flash, you name it. I
- 1:14:25Speaker 8: create these camps. I do it eight times a year.
- 1:14:28Speaker 8: It's a rock and roll fantasy camp. Following October 7th,
- 1:14:34Speaker 8: I was in Israel visiting my son who was in
- 1:14:36Speaker 8: the yeshiva and I called my dear friend, Sam Grunewald,
- 1:14:40Speaker 8: who's one of your biggest fans from the Miami day.
- 1:14:43Speaker 8: I said, Sam, I want to see what happened down there. Please,
- 1:14:46Speaker 8: can you arrange a car to get in there? Because
- 1:14:48Speaker 8: you couldn't get into Barry. You couldn't get into New York.
- 1:14:50Speaker 8: You couldn't get into Nova. And I went down there
- 1:14:53Speaker 8: and the mayor of the area gave me a tour.
- 1:14:57Speaker 8: Then she turned to me after three hours of David.
- 1:15:00Speaker 8: I have to go to a funeral. And I said,
- 1:15:02Speaker 8: who's funeral? She said there were three hostages that were
- 1:15:05Speaker 8: shot by friendly fire. And I said, which one? She
- 1:15:08Speaker 8: said the drummer, the red haired drummer.
- 1:15:10Speaker 18: I said, I have to go.
- 1:15:11Speaker 8: You know, I managed Ringo Starr 15 years. I said,
- 1:15:14Speaker 8: I'm going to go to see the funeral. And I
- 1:15:19Speaker 8: go there, and the funeral starts with his brother, who
- 1:15:23Speaker 8: was a drummer, and his father's a drummer. They set
- 1:15:25Speaker 8: up his drum set, and his name was Tuval Chaim,
- 1:15:29Speaker 8: and they played a drum solo for 20 minutes, and
- 1:15:32Speaker 8: they threw the sticks in the grave. At that moment,
- 1:15:34Speaker 8: I said to myself, I want to bring 10 of
- 1:15:37Speaker 8: these Israelis that were victimized on October 7th to my
- 1:15:40Speaker 8: rock camp. I was doing a camp with the members
- 1:15:42Speaker 8: of Van Halen in March, following March, and they came
- 1:15:47Speaker 8: and we filmed their entire experience. And, you know, you
- 1:15:50Speaker 8: played the Slash, right? I wrote the Slash and I said,
- 1:15:52Speaker 8: would you come and jam with them? And he said,
- 1:15:54Speaker 8: you know, he was leaving town, but he wrote them,
- 1:15:57Speaker 8: he sent them a video and he told them, you guys,
- 1:15:59Speaker 8: I wish I could be there with you. I support you.
- 1:16:02Speaker 8: But they got to jam with Michael Anthony from Van
- 1:16:04Speaker 8: Halen and so many different rock stars and Tommy Aldridge
- 1:16:08Speaker 8: and And there were 10 victims. One was that drummer.
- 1:16:11Speaker 8: One was a fellow named Sagiya Rod, who saved Kibbutz Magin.
- 1:16:15Speaker 8: One was a girl from the Nova Festival. One was
- 1:16:17Speaker 8: Bar Rudolph. His father was the second to last hostage
- 1:16:21Speaker 8: that they returned his body. So they were traumatized. And
- 1:16:24Speaker 8: they came, and it was incredible. And You know, I
- 1:16:28Speaker 8: was a little scared. I had three issues. I couldn't
- 1:16:30Speaker 8: deal with, I couldn't tell the press out there because
- 1:16:32Speaker 8: what was happening with the colleges, as you saw, and
- 1:16:36Speaker 8: I couldn't tell my customers. Most of them aren't even Jewish.
- 1:16:38Speaker 8: I said, I don't care. I didn't really care much.
- 1:16:41Speaker 8: They didn't want to say they could leave. But the
- 1:16:43Speaker 8: rock stars, I was really scared. You know, many of
- 1:16:46Speaker 8: them would have told me if I was told in advance. David,
- 1:16:49Speaker 8: I can't do this. I don't want to get involved.
- 1:16:51Speaker 8: You know, people are scared. Meanwhile, I told them all
- 1:16:54Speaker 8: and the people gave him a standing ovation and it
- 1:16:56Speaker 8: was incredible. And then I went to my friend, Kevin Bright,
- 1:16:59Speaker 8: who produced Friends. 32 years ago, that show's.
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: On the air.
- 1:17:03Speaker 8: It's still number one in Israel, all around the world.
- 1:17:05Speaker 8: And I said, Kevin, I need your help with the film.
- 1:17:08Speaker 8: He says, I'm going to make this story. And he
- 1:17:09Speaker 8: made an incredible, incredible film. So I think people are
- 1:17:14Speaker 8: going to enjoy it. It's really uplifting. It tells you
- 1:17:16Speaker 8: the true story of and it really needs to be
- 1:17:19Speaker 8: seen by people. And it's been playing in Israel. It
- 1:17:22Speaker 8: opened up, and Ambassador Huckabee came. He spoke about it afterwards,
- 1:17:26Speaker 8: and President Herzog asked me to show it in Israel.
- 1:17:31Speaker 8: So I'm hoping your friend Trump, I've been in touch
- 1:17:34Speaker 8: with his office. I hope he can show it at
- 1:17:36Speaker 8: the White House, too.
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: He will. I will absolutely reach out to President Trump today,
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: reach out to him already this morning. And will this
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: thing eventually, this great documentary, end up on Netflix or
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: Hulu or something? One of these streaming services?
- 1:17:49Speaker 8: Absolutely, I'm hoping. You know, it's very hard now. They're
- 1:17:52Speaker 8: not buying many Israeli things, but that's the dream, to
- 1:17:55Speaker 8: build up the film and, yes, get it on. You know,
- 1:17:58Speaker 8: I'm so excited about the new president of Paramount now.
- 1:18:00Speaker 8: He's Israeli, and he was the former CEO of Mattel.
- 1:18:05Speaker 8: So I'm hoping, yes, someone's going to pick it. It's
- 1:18:06Speaker 8: a great film. I mean, Kevin Bright really deserves to
- 1:18:09Speaker 8: win an Oscar for a documentary because he did an
- 1:18:13Speaker 8: amazing job.
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: I can't wait to see it. You know, you talk
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: about rock and roll stars who don't want to get involved,
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: you know, they don't. The truth is a lot of
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: them don't like us. You know, I played something before
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: you came on. John Cougar Mellencamp, this little small town
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: in Indiana, like Bill Sims, he never met a Jew.
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: Turned out he was going to work for a Jewish
- 1:18:31Speaker 1: guy when he was a youngster. Dated some girl, had
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: no money, so he stole a bottle of perfume for
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: his girlfriend. And the Jewish guy, the owner of the store,
- 1:18:41Speaker 1: called him a couple days later and said, Hey, John,
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: you don't got to steal from me. I'll just give
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: it to you. He didn't fire John Cougar Mellencamp. He
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: didn't scold.
- 1:18:49Speaker 15: Him.
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: He said, I'll just give it to you. And John said,
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: that's when I knew that the Jewish people were very,
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: very special people. So John's on our side. Ringo Starr.
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: I was there. You were there.
- 1:19:00Speaker 8: I was there.
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: You were there for that. I was there when he... Okay,
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: when he made that speech.
- 1:19:03Speaker 8: When he made that speech. It's an amazing organization, CCFP.
- 1:19:08Speaker 8: It's run by a guy named David Renzer, and he's
- 1:19:10Speaker 8: got all Hollywood up to protect. You know, whenever these
- 1:19:13Speaker 8: artists want to play Israel, you know, this piece of crap,
- 1:19:17Speaker 8: Roger Waters, he tries to discourage them from going. And
- 1:19:22Speaker 8: this guy went up against them. And they got him
- 1:19:25Speaker 8: thrown out of BMG.
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: Awesome.
- 1:19:27Speaker 8: Awesome. Really amazing guy.
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: Tell me about Ringo because I'm a diehard Beatles fan and, uh,
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: you don't hear a lot of these types of people saying, yeah,
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: you're nay about the whole Israel conflict. You know, I mean,
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: we know Macklemore thinks he's a low life and you
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: mentioned Roger Waters and there's plenty of them out there.
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: Does Ringo ever talk to you about this stuff? Yeah.
- 1:19:46Speaker 8: Ringo went to Israel. You know, he did two shows
- 1:19:49Speaker 8: in Israel. I spent 15 years on the road with
- 1:19:51Speaker 8: him and, um, yeah, he's, you know, his wife, Barbara's, um,
- 1:19:57Speaker 8: father was Jewish, and his best friend, oh, I remember
- 1:20:00Speaker 8: when I went in to try to sign him years ago,
- 1:20:03Speaker 8: his best friend was an Orthodox, was raised Orthodox, and yeah,
- 1:20:07Speaker 8: Ringo was really always great, he was always great, and
- 1:20:11Speaker 8: so there are a lot, and unfortunately, there's a lot
- 1:20:14Speaker 8: who are pro-Israel, but it's very hard for them to come.
- 1:20:17Speaker 18: Out, you know, because look at boy George, you know,
- 1:20:19Speaker 18: he's gone to.
- 1:20:19Speaker 8: Israel, he's sold out, but it's very hard for them,
- 1:20:23Speaker 8: and you know, Many of these artists should just stay
- 1:20:25Speaker 8: out of politics. You know, guys like Mark Moore should
- 1:20:28Speaker 8: just shut up. They don't know what, you know, they
- 1:20:30Speaker 8: should go to Gaza and spend the week there. Let
- 1:20:32Speaker 8: them spend the week there and see if they'll survive.
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: Such idiots. You're exactly right. The queers do. The queers
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: for Palestine. They wouldn't last a week. They wouldn't last
- 1:20:41Speaker 1: a week in Gaza. Hamas would kill every one of them,
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: these morons. And yet.
- 1:20:44Speaker 18: All those college students.
- 1:20:47Speaker 8: Right. Yeah, wear your bikinis there instead of.
- 1:20:48Speaker 18: Going out to Dayton Beach, you know, Daytona. Right, right.
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: But how disappointing is it, David? I've had these conversations
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: already today with Michael Rappaport and my own monologue. That
- 1:20:59Speaker 1: here we are, this day, right? This day should be
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: put aside from everything else, okay? Maybe you don't like
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: what's happening in Gaza. You're an idiot. You're not smart.
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: You haven't done your homework. But whatever, okay? But you
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: would think on this day, October 7th, where there's no
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: question that Israelis were brutalized and murdered, unless you're some
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: lowlife in lower Manhattan who said the Israelis killed their
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: own people. They actually say that. You would think on
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: this day, people would stay away. And yet, David Fischhoff,
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: On the streets of New York today, these pro-Hamas protesters,
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: they're not protesters, okay, they're animals, they're going to be
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: celebrating rape and murder, and our mayor, he's not going
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: to say boo, and Jessica Tisch can't do a damn
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: thing about it under the perverted guise of the First Amendment.
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: How disappointing is that?
- 1:21:45Speaker 8: It's the worst. You know, all I can think of,
- 1:21:49Speaker 8: I woke up this morning and said to my wife,
- 1:21:50Speaker 8: where's Mayor Bloomberg when we really need him? I mean,
- 1:21:54Speaker 8: it's crazy that these people believe it. And how about
- 1:21:56Speaker 8: last week with the plane? What a miracle the plane was.
- 1:21:59Speaker 8: And if you read some of the headlines in the
- 1:22:04Speaker 8: Arab publications, it was Israelis tackle Arabs. No, they tackle
- 1:22:10Speaker 8: a pilot on Air Dubai. I mean, nothing that the
- 1:22:13Speaker 8: guy was trying to land it into Israel and create
- 1:22:16Speaker 8: another 9-11. No, it's the world is crazy now. So
- 1:22:19Speaker 8: then thank God we have people like you who keep
- 1:22:22Speaker 8: it up and keep up the Jews and what's going on.
- 1:22:26Speaker 8: And the truth, it really, that's what I love about
- 1:22:28Speaker 8: this movie. The movies, the truth, these people get interviewed
- 1:22:31Speaker 8: and they really talk about where they were in October
- 1:22:34Speaker 8: 7th and what happened. And it's, it's really incredible. I
- 1:22:38Speaker 8: hope people come tonight and see it and really enjoy it.
- 1:22:40Speaker 8: It's been doing great last night. It sold out in Toronto.
- 1:22:43Speaker 8: It sold out in West Palm beach tonight. So, I'm
- 1:22:46Speaker 8: looking forward to everyone coming.
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: So what's the easiest way for people to get tickets
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: for this big documentary tonight?

- 1:25:36Speaker 1: 7th morning. You wouldn't know it because we're having a
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: great show, and Michael Rapaport was terrific, and David Fischhoff

- 1:26:12Speaker 1: the show from a place called Snerot, Israel. which they
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: burned down the police department. They killed a bunch of
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: people inside the kibbutzim, women, babies, children. Here I am
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: today in Israel, and I know this. I know this.
- 1:26:25Speaker 1: As a Jewish kid from Brooklyn, you're from Queens. You
- 1:26:28Speaker 1: care about the Jewish people deeply. You know what? I
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: have to laugh, President Trump. They'll call you an anti-Semite.
- 1:26:33Speaker 1: I go, wait a second, wait a second. His daughter converted.
- 1:26:36Speaker 1: She's Jewish. And she's a real good Jew, not a
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: crappy Jew like Doug Hemhoff. She's a real good Jew.
- 1:26:41Speaker 1: They're going to be in Temple this weekend from Yom Kippur.
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: His son-in-law, Jared, helped create the Abraham Accords with him.
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: His grandchildren. I know how much Trump loves his grandkids.
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: They're all Jewish. This means a lot to you. So
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: me being here, October 7th, President Trump, I know this
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: means a lot to you.
- 1:26:59Speaker 8: Well, it does.
- 1:27:00Speaker 16: And nobody's done more for the Jewish people than I have.
- 1:27:03Speaker 16: Nobody's done more for Israel as a president, maybe beyond
- 1:27:07Speaker 16: being a president, if you want to know the truth.
- 1:27:09Speaker 16: Golan Heights, I moved the capital, ended the Iran nuclear deal,
- 1:27:13Speaker 16: which was a great thing to do.
- 1:27:15Speaker 19: But Biden, of course, did nothing with it. You know,
- 1:27:17Speaker 19: I had them where they would have made a deal.
- 1:27:19Speaker 19: Any day you could have walked away with a deal.
- 1:27:21Speaker 1: I ended it.
- 1:27:22Speaker 19: And it was a great thing. You know, Bibi never
- 1:27:25Speaker 19: wanted it. He said, please don't do it. It was
- 1:27:26Speaker 19: very dangerous.
- 1:27:27Speaker 8: It was a terrible thing, but they didn't.
- 1:27:29Speaker 19: Do anything with it.
- 1:27:29Speaker 16: But if you think about Golan Heights, but if you
- 1:27:32Speaker 16: think about Israel, OK, take take Israel and the capital
- 1:27:37Speaker 16: of Israel going to Jerusalem.
- 1:27:39Speaker 19: I did that.
- 1:27:40Speaker 8: And then I built the embassy. I got it built.
- 1:27:43Speaker 16: Nobody thought that was possible.
- 1:27:45Speaker 8: I got it.
- 1:27:45Speaker 16: It wouldn't be built for 30 more years. And I
- 1:27:47Speaker 16: got it built in We took a building that was existing,
- 1:27:50Speaker 16: which was really good, and converted it. And it's beautiful.
- 1:27:55Speaker 16: You'll never build a more beautiful embassy. And I got
- 1:27:57Speaker 16: it all done in the best location. They were going
- 1:27:59Speaker 16: to spend billions of dollars. I got it done for peanuts.
- 1:28:04Speaker 16: And it's one of the most beautiful embassies with all
- 1:28:07Speaker 16: Jerusalem stone, everything.
- 1:28:09Speaker 8: But all of the things.
- 1:28:10Speaker 16: And then, of course, the Abraham, of course, that nobody
- 1:28:12Speaker 16: could have done.
- 1:28:13Speaker 19: And I did.
- 1:28:14Speaker 11: All of that.
- 1:28:15Speaker 8: And, you know, let's put it this way.
- 1:28:18Speaker 16: I should get 100% of the Jewish vote, and I don't.
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: It's amazing. This is the real deal right here, okay?
- 1:28:24Speaker 1: I speak to presidents and prime ministers. Ted Cruz will
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: be on this show tomorrow. Marco Rubio was on this
- 1:28:31Speaker 1: show last week. He's fighting for the West today. He
- 1:28:33Speaker 1: was in Greece yesterday. Nobody does what I do. Nobody, okay?
- 1:28:37Speaker 1: And I'm out there fighting every day for some of the...
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: Jews that are morons. People like Brad Lander. He's not
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: a Jew. He's an embarrassment. He's a disgrace. Jerry Nadler.
- 1:28:48Speaker 1: Let's go Caroline Schenkel, by the way. Jamie Raskin. The
- 1:28:53Speaker 1: worst of them all. He's a Palestinian at this point.
- 1:28:55Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer. You think I want to hear from these
- 1:28:58Speaker 1: people today? They're upset about October the 7th when all
- 1:29:01Speaker 1: they do is sympathize with the Palestinians? And in case
- 1:29:06Speaker 1: you folks are interested in educating yourselves, maybe you just
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: like being a moron. That's fine. You love Macklemore and
- 1:29:13Speaker 1: you love, you know, all these groups that hate the
- 1:29:17Speaker 1: Jews and you love Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly. I mean,
- 1:29:23Speaker 1: what a douche she's turned out to be. My God.
- 1:29:27Speaker 1: Megyn Kelly. What a douchebag. Hope this is part of you, Megyn.
- 1:29:31Speaker 1: I really do. Candace Owens. All you losers. Maybe you
- 1:29:34Speaker 1: like being a part of that crowd. They're liars and
- 1:29:37Speaker 1: uneducated and stupid and hateful and anti-Semites. But the truth is,
- 1:29:43Speaker 1: you know what Hamas are? Palestinians. Yes. Hamas. Palestinians. Maybe
- 1:29:50Speaker 1: a little radical. But the Palestinians and a lot of
- 1:29:53Speaker 1: the everyday Palestinians that all you folks are so worried about,
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: all you folks that have been nowhere near Gaza or Israel,
- 1:30:03Speaker 1: you've never left Staten Island. You've never left Brooklyn, you morons,
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: marching in the city today. You're so sympathetic to the Palestinians.
- 1:30:12Speaker 1: A lot of these Palestinians... were working in those kibbutzim,
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: in those neighborhoods that were ravaged, murder, rape. You know
- 1:30:20Speaker 1: what they would do? They would go to work for
- 1:30:22Speaker 1: the Jews. They would take the money from the Jews
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: on Thursday night because Friday was Shabbos. And then they'd
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: go right back to Gaza, and they'd meet with Hamas
- 1:30:30Speaker 1: and say, here's where they are, here's what they do,
- 1:30:33Speaker 1: let's go get them. And plenty of Palestinians joined Hamas
- 1:30:39Speaker 1: on that morning, Saturday, October the 7th. In fact, the
- 1:30:42Speaker 1: Bibas family, that lovely mother and her two little red-headed
- 1:30:46Speaker 1: little boys that were all murdered in captivity, murdered little boys,
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: they were abducted by Palestinians. So you guys have no
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: idea what you're talking about. They set up in hospitals
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: and schools and all the places so that you morons
- 1:31:04Speaker 1: can say, well, Israel... They bombed a school today. And
- 1:31:09Speaker 1: maybe they did because that's where Hamas was set up.
- 1:31:13Speaker 1: And you know what? Innocent civilians die in war. We
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: didn't start this. We're going to finish this. When I
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: say we, I mean Israel because I am America first
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: and Israel second. If you killed an Israeli and you're
- 1:31:25Speaker 1: a terrorist, Bibi, thank God for him, he's going to
- 1:31:29Speaker 1: find you no matter where you are, how cowardly you are,
- 1:31:33Speaker 1: putting little children in front of you, and he's going
- 1:31:35Speaker 1: to kill you. And I would hope and I know
- 1:31:38Speaker 1: that President Trump would do the same thing if something
- 1:31:41Speaker 1: like October 7th happened in Brooklyn or Cincinnati or Tulsa.
- 1:31:47Speaker 1: So today we remember the innocents. We remember the heroes.
- 1:31:56Speaker 1: And we hope that maybe one day, it looks worse
- 1:31:59Speaker 1: and worse every day, but maybe one day anti-Semitism will
- 1:32:05Speaker 1: be a thing of the past. Alex Treyman is the
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: CEO of JNS.org. He's been on this show now 200-plus times.
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: Since October 9th, 2023, he's coming up next, October 7th,
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: right here.
- 1:32:20Speaker 14: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
- 1:32:23Speaker 14: Podcast Network.
- 1:32:26Speaker 1: He says it is just as important to dress appropriately
- 1:32:30Speaker 1: for solemn occasions as it is for joyous ones. It
- 1:32:34Speaker 1: always is a sign of respect. And nobody has done
- 1:32:37Speaker 1: it better than you, Sid. I'm very proud of you
- 1:32:40Speaker 1: on this solemn day as you continue to be a
- 1:32:42Speaker 1: fierce champion for the Jewish people and Israel. And as
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: a proud Jew, so was your father. Love you, Joseph.
- 1:32:51Speaker 1: And I love you too, Joabud. 200 times since October 9th, 2023,
- 1:32:58Speaker 1: two days after that horrible day, Alex Trayman, the CEO
- 1:33:02Speaker 1: of JNS.org has joined me on this program. And now
- 1:33:05Speaker 1: I go there every year. I've been to his house.
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: So nice. Shabbat. And I speak at his big international
- 1:33:13Speaker 1: policy summit now for two straight years. Remarkable guy and
- 1:33:17Speaker 1: a dear friend, Alex Trayman. Alex, good morning, pal. How
- 1:33:20Speaker 1: are you?
- 1:33:21Speaker 13: Good morning, Sid.
- 1:33:22Speaker 8: Doing well.
- 1:33:22Speaker 1: You're in Israel. I mean, you're in Jerusalem this morning.
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: Is that right?
- 1:33:26Speaker 8: Correct.
- 1:33:27Speaker 1: So are you guys working today?
- 1:33:30Speaker 13: Today is a work day. You know, Israelis are really
- 1:33:32Speaker 13: good at picking up the pieces immediately after a terrorist
- 1:33:36Speaker 13: attack or whatever it is and making it look like
- 1:33:38Speaker 13: it didn't happen and just getting back to it. And
- 1:33:41Speaker 13: today's October 7th and it's no different.
- 1:33:43Speaker 1: I spoke to Michael Rappaport earlier. He has spent today
- 1:33:46Speaker 1: between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. And he said, look, you
- 1:33:50Speaker 1: can definitely sense a morose, solemn attitude. attitude there today.
- 1:33:56Speaker 1: But he said, you know, Israelis are, Sid, I've been
- 1:33:58Speaker 1: there a bunch of times, they're joyous and they're resilient
- 1:34:01Speaker 1: and courageous and they go through life. But he did
- 1:34:04Speaker 1: say that you can kind of sense that it's a
- 1:34:07Speaker 1: somber day. Are you experiencing the same thing?
- 1:34:10Speaker 13: Yeah, there's a lot of ceremonies around the country today
- 1:34:15Speaker 13: in different places. But, you know, I think for me,
- 1:34:17Speaker 13: at least, you know, I try to look at what Israel,
- 1:34:20Speaker 13: how Israel responded to October 7th and what we've accomplished
- 1:34:23Speaker 13: since then. And the demonstration of their resilience, the military
- 1:34:27Speaker 13: victories on all fronts, the fact that our economy is stronger,
- 1:34:31Speaker 13: that the people are stronger and more united. And even
- 1:34:34Speaker 13: though it was one of the most horrific days, I'm very,
- 1:34:37Speaker 13: very proud of the way that Israel responded, which is
- 1:34:40Speaker 13: very different than what I think a lot of the
- 1:34:42Speaker 13: world thinks about Israel. But if people were here, they
- 1:34:44Speaker 13: would know that this place is– It's really done something
- 1:34:47Speaker 13: incredible since October 7th, and it's only stronger because of it.
- 1:34:51Speaker 1: I always say they should go there first before they
- 1:34:53Speaker 1: start talking. They sound so uneducated and stupid. I've been
- 1:34:56Speaker 1: there five times. I can talk about it. You're right.
- 1:34:59Speaker 1: It's an amazing country, great people, starting with Bibi. But
- 1:35:02Speaker 1: the truth is the truth, and the world has gone
- 1:35:05Speaker 1: very stupid here, very genocide, war criminals. Campuses all over
- 1:35:10Speaker 1: the country have gone berserk, even today. In New York City,
- 1:35:14Speaker 1: Alex Draymond, you're from here. You love New York. You're
- 1:35:16Speaker 1: a Knick fan, okay? Even today, you would think, okay,
- 1:35:19Speaker 1: October 7th, the mayor, the police commissioner, everybody would make
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: sure that on this solemn day, there's no nonsense. Not
- 1:35:29Speaker 1: going to happen. There is a huge pro-Hamas rally set
- 1:35:34Speaker 1: for today. They're going to do it. They're going to
- 1:35:36Speaker 1: walk the streets. They're literally going to celebrate October the
- 1:35:40Speaker 1: 7th in New York City today. Is that not incredibly
- 1:35:44Speaker 1: disappointing and sad? Because a lot of Israelis that I've
- 1:35:47Speaker 1: met there, there, in Jerusalem, in Tel Aviv, in Judea
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: and Samaria, are from here, New York.
- 1:35:56Speaker 13: Yeah, I think in some ways it's not surprising, and
- 1:36:00Speaker 13: that's the part that's the most sad. I've been getting
- 1:36:02Speaker 13: messages from... People around the world, including members of governments
- 1:36:07Speaker 13: across Eastern Europe, saying that they are lighting up their
- 1:36:10Speaker 13: national monuments in blue and white in solidarity with Israel.
- 1:36:16Speaker 13: And to see New York, the city with the most
- 1:36:18Speaker 13: Jews outside of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, having a pro-Hamas
- 1:36:23Speaker 13: rally on that day. Yeah, it's a little bit disappointing,
- 1:36:27Speaker 13: and it's really up to the New Yorkers. to turn
- 1:36:29Speaker 13: around and say that it's not acceptable. It doesn't really
- 1:36:32Speaker 13: matter what Israelis think about it. New Yorkers should be
- 1:36:34Speaker 13: the ones who are very upset about it.
- 1:36:36Speaker 1: I am, but there's only so much I can do.
- 1:36:38Speaker 1: I'm outnumbered here. You understand that, Alex, right? I'm out
- 1:36:40Speaker 1: there every day biting like an animal, okay?
- 1:36:43Speaker 13: Nobody has the microphone that you have in New York City.
- 1:36:46Speaker 1: I know the influencers on the Instagram folks are nice kids,
- 1:36:49Speaker 1: a lot of them, but they have no real... They
- 1:36:51Speaker 1: don't do anything... I'm out here every day. I'm talking
- 1:36:53Speaker 1: to world leaders. I'm talking to people like you. I'm
- 1:36:55Speaker 1: fighting in the streets. I bought a guy nearly on
- 1:36:58Speaker 1: a subway. I'll fight somebody today. But there's only so
- 1:37:01Speaker 1: much I can do.
- 1:37:02Speaker 13: And Sid, you're one of the great victories of October
- 1:37:05Speaker 13: 7th because we've seen people come out of the woodwork.
- 1:37:08Speaker 13: So many people that, yes, they supported Israel. They like
- 1:37:11Speaker 13: the Jewish people. But on October 8th, The day after
- 1:37:15Speaker 13: October 7th or October 9th, when you went back on
- 1:37:17Speaker 13: the air, you realized what you needed to do, how
- 1:37:20Speaker 13: to use your platform, how to leverage your platform in
- 1:37:22Speaker 13: support of Israel and the Jewish people. And you've done
- 1:37:24Speaker 13: it nonstop and you fought like a lion. And that
- 1:37:26Speaker 13: is really what October 7th has produced. A whole generation
- 1:37:30Speaker 13: of lions. It has separated those that are with Israel
- 1:37:33Speaker 13: and those that are against Israel. And what I would
- 1:37:36Speaker 13: say is that the industry of us, people like you
- 1:37:38Speaker 13: and me, that have done everything that we can since
- 1:37:41Speaker 13: October 7th, we're just absolutely remarkable people. And we're a
- 1:37:46Speaker 13: great team. And I think we're going to be able
- 1:37:49Speaker 13: to accomplish a lot in the coming years ahead.
- 1:37:53Speaker 1: I think you're right. I want to do that with you, Alex,
- 1:37:56Speaker 1: especially you, because I think the world of you, you're
- 1:37:58Speaker 1: my number one guy in Israel. But I want to
- 1:38:00Speaker 1: do it with you and Bibi. And the elections are
- 1:38:03Speaker 1: three weeks from yesterday. I had the president Herzog on yesterday.
- 1:38:06Speaker 1: He's no fan of Bibi. You know that. But he
- 1:38:08Speaker 1: doesn't really endorse anybody anyway. He's not supposed to. So
- 1:38:11Speaker 1: he will wait till after the election is over and
- 1:38:13Speaker 1: I guess he'll help create a government. But how does
- 1:38:15Speaker 1: it look right now for BBL? A lot of folks
- 1:38:17Speaker 1: like you think, you know what, he may not win,
- 1:38:20Speaker 1: but there may not be enough votes to actually replace
- 1:38:23Speaker 1: his government. How does it look? It's coming up now
- 1:38:25Speaker 1: with less than three weeks.
- 1:38:27Speaker 13: Yeah, that's right. I mean, it's a very complicated situation. situation.
- 1:38:31Speaker 13: The political system here is a fairly unstable system as
- 1:38:35Speaker 13: compared to the United States. And we're not a two-party
- 1:38:37Speaker 13: system here. You don't have a direct election for the
- 1:38:40Speaker 13: prime minister. People go and they have to select from
- 1:38:44Speaker 13: about 30 different parties that are all trying to get
- 1:38:46Speaker 13: into the parliament, into the Knesset.
- 1:38:48Speaker 8: And they pick one party.
- 1:38:50Speaker 13: And on the basis of the tally of those counts,
- 1:38:53Speaker 13: you find out how many seats each party will get
- 1:38:55Speaker 13: in the Knesset. There's 120 seats. Netanyahu, if he does
- 1:39:00Speaker 13: really well in the election, might get 30 of the
- 1:39:03Speaker 13: 120 seats. That's only a quarter of the available seats.
- 1:39:06Speaker 13: And then the president, Herzog, will turn to whoever he
- 1:39:10Speaker 13: thinks has the best shot of putting together a coalition
- 1:39:13Speaker 13: government of multiple parties. You have to have a coalition
- 1:39:16Speaker 13: of more than half of the members of parliament that
- 1:39:18Speaker 13: sixty one members so there's a lot of horse trading
- 1:39:22Speaker 13: to figure out what coalitions could look like and you're
- 1:39:25Speaker 13: right right now of the polls show depending on where
- 1:39:28Speaker 13: you looking very different very different potential results though the
- 1:39:33Speaker 13: put the news agencies that one netanyahu winner showing him
- 1:39:36Speaker 13: winning the news agencies that want to lose are showing
- 1:39:39Speaker 13: him losing it's hard to know exactly what it's going
- 1:39:42Speaker 13: to be and you know Once the counting is done,
- 1:39:46Speaker 13: that's when the hard work goes of trying to figure
- 1:39:49Speaker 13: out who might be willing to sit with who or
- 1:39:51Speaker 13: who won't be willing to sit with who. And you
- 1:39:53Speaker 13: might not even know if you're going to have a
- 1:39:55Speaker 13: government for a month or two months after the election.
- 1:39:59Speaker 13: And we've seen it here in the past where you
- 1:40:01Speaker 13: didn't get any government. You actually go back to another election.
- 1:40:04Speaker 13: So that's a possibility as well.
- 1:40:06Speaker 8: Wow.
- 1:40:07Speaker 1: So on the way out, Alex, again, you're a New
- 1:40:09Speaker 1: York guy, and I know you're sick to your stomach
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: about this disgusting mayor. He just tweeted a whole thing
- 1:40:14Speaker 1: about how today's a solemn day and the horrific events
- 1:40:17Speaker 1: of October the 7th. When he does stuff like that,
- 1:40:20Speaker 1: I don't feel any better about him. I get angrier. Like,
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: I really want to punch the mayor across the face.
- 1:40:27Speaker 1: I could probably get fired for that. I don't know.
- 1:40:29Speaker 1: Maybe even arrested. I don't know. I don't care. But
- 1:40:31Speaker 1: that's how I feel. When he does stuff like that,
- 1:40:33Speaker 1: I want to punch him across the face. I want
- 1:40:35Speaker 1: him to just shut up. We know he's not sincere.
- 1:40:38Speaker 1: We know he doesn't mean it. And his wife, that
- 1:40:41Speaker 1: disgusting creature, she liked all the images on and around
- 1:40:45Speaker 1: October the 7th. Do you, when you see stuff like that,
- 1:40:49Speaker 1: hear stuff like that in Israel, do you start to
- 1:40:51Speaker 1: warm up to the guy? Or are you like me?
- 1:40:55Speaker 13: I don't think anybody here in Israel is warming up
- 1:40:57Speaker 13: to Meir Momdani. That's for sure not. I think we
- 1:41:01Speaker 13: have a good sense of who our friends are and
- 1:41:03Speaker 13: who our friends are not. You know, this is a
- 1:41:06Speaker 13: person that said that he would, if it was up
- 1:41:09Speaker 13: to him, that he would arrest our prime minister when
- 1:41:12Speaker 13: he landed in New York City and then told New
- 1:41:16Speaker 13: Yorkers that they were should feel very safe to go
- 1:41:19Speaker 13: out and protest our prime minister. So, you know, that's
- 1:41:22Speaker 13: that's what we know about Donnie. You know, it's he's
- 1:41:26Speaker 13: just playing politics.
- 1:41:28Speaker 8: That's for sure.
- 1:41:29Speaker 13: You know, and it's just hard to hard to imagine
- 1:41:32Speaker 13: that New York got to a place where they have
- 1:41:35Speaker 13: a mayor that you know, outright anti-Israel? I mean, do
- 1:41:37Speaker 13: you think that if there would be one mayor in
- 1:41:39Speaker 13: the world that would be the most pro-Israel, it would
- 1:41:42Speaker 13: be in New York City? Unfortunately, that's not the case.
- 1:41:45Speaker 13: But the big question is whether Jews will remain safe
- 1:41:49Speaker 13: living in New York City. And I know many that
- 1:41:51Speaker 13: feel like the situation is much more precarious, even about
- 1:41:54Speaker 13: the security within their own synagogues and kids' schools. and
- 1:41:59Speaker 13: on the streets. I mean, that's the thing that people
- 1:42:01Speaker 13: should be most concerned about.
- 1:42:03Speaker 8: 100%.
- 1:42:03Speaker 1: So the final 30 seconds, Alex, for the Jews living
- 1:42:06Speaker 1: in New York to listen to this show every second,
- 1:42:08Speaker 1: every day. I'd love to hear from you in Israel.
- 1:42:11Speaker 1: What is your message from Israel to the Jewish people
- 1:42:15Speaker 1: and Christians who have become our best friends, right? We
- 1:42:19Speaker 1: can't win this without the help of our Christian friends.
- 1:42:22Speaker 1: We live in a Judeo-Christian nation. That's why I have
- 1:42:27Speaker 1: really no patience for anybody who claims they're Christian, they
- 1:42:30Speaker 1: love Jesus Christ, and they crap on the Jews. I've
- 1:42:34Speaker 1: got no patience for that. The truth is, there is
- 1:42:36Speaker 1: no Christianity without the Jews. Jesus Christ was Jewish, and
- 1:42:41Speaker 1: Christianity mirrors the Old Testament. So what is this nonsense
- 1:42:46Speaker 1: with Christians who love Jesus crapping on Jews? It's nonsense.
- 1:42:51Speaker 1: What is your message to the people in New York today?
- 1:42:55Speaker 13: Well, you know, most of the people that I talk to,
- 1:42:57Speaker 13: Jewish and Christian, real people, support the state of Israel
- 1:43:00Speaker 13: because they can easily understand that Israel and the United
- 1:43:04Speaker 13: States are on the side of good, while Hamas, Hezbollah,
- 1:43:06Speaker 13: and Iran are on the side of evil. And there
- 1:43:10Speaker 13: is a major international influence campaign from China, Qatar, Iran,
- 1:43:15Speaker 13: Russia to make it appear that America is becoming an
- 1:43:18Speaker 13: anti-Semitic and an anti-Israel country. This is a foreign influence campaign.
- 1:43:23Speaker 13: And people inside New York, Jews and Christians, they have
- 1:43:26Speaker 13: to realize that. They have to realize that normal people
- 1:43:29Speaker 13: stand with Israel. It's very obvious to want to stand
- 1:43:32Speaker 13: with Israel because of the shared Judeo-Christian values, the shared morals.
- 1:43:36Speaker 13: and the shared goals and the technology and the intelligence
- 1:43:39Speaker 13: sharing and all the other great reasons. So don't fall
- 1:43:42Speaker 13: for the lies. Don't fall for the bots. Stand with Israel.
- 1:43:46Speaker 13: Israel is the only country that has such high favorability.
- 1:43:51Speaker 13: ratings for the United States. There's no people that love
- 1:43:54Speaker 13: the United States more than the people of Israel. And
- 1:43:56Speaker 13: it should be exactly the other way around, that there
- 1:43:58Speaker 13: should be no country that loves the state of Israel
- 1:44:00Speaker 13: more than the United States of America.
- 1:44:02Speaker 1: Let me go back to what you said earlier in
- 1:44:03Speaker 1: this conversation. Out of the darkness and horror, horror that
- 1:44:09Speaker 1: was October the 7th, there were some good things. And
- 1:44:11Speaker 1: this relationship, mine with you, is one of the things
- 1:44:15Speaker 1: I cherish in my life today. You know I mean
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: that sincerely. I love you. I love Zippy. I love
- 1:44:19Speaker 1: your whole family. I love what you've done for me
- 1:44:22Speaker 1: professionally and personally. And I can't say enough nice things
- 1:44:25Speaker 1: about you. You're a hero. You really are.
- 1:44:27Speaker 13: The love is totally mutual, Sid. We've done great things together.
- 1:44:31Speaker 13: I'm really proud of you and look forward to seeing
- 1:44:33Speaker 13: you in New York and again here back in Jerusalem.
- 1:44:36Speaker 1: Can't wait. I'll be there in May for your big summit.
- 1:44:38Speaker 1: Have a good day. I know it's tough, but you're
- 1:44:41Speaker 1: the best. Thank you, Alex.
- 1:44:43Speaker 8: Thanks, Sid.
- 1:44:43Speaker 1: God bless. Alex Trainman right there, the CEO of JNS.org,
- 1:44:47Speaker 1: truly one of the best people God ever created. We'll
- 1:44:49Speaker 1: take a short break. More to come. Maybe BB, it
- 1:44:52Speaker 1: looks like, may not happen now. He's at about 19
- 1:44:55Speaker 1: different ceremonies this morning, literally. It's actually afternoon in Israel.
- 1:44:59Speaker 1: He's trying. You know, Dr. Fonk is trying, but they
- 1:45:02Speaker 1: got him bottled up with a bunch of ceremonies. We'll see.
- 1:45:05Speaker 1: We still have 62 minutes before Brian Kilmeade takes over.
- 1:45:09Speaker 14: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 1:45:13Speaker 14: Podcast Network.
- 1:45:15Speaker 1: He's actually a great man, and he knows he's smart.
- 1:45:18Speaker 1: He worked with Homeland Security, worked for the better part
- 1:45:21Speaker 1: of four decades with Congress. He knows the good guys
- 1:45:24Speaker 1: from the bad guys, okay? And he knows this is
- 1:45:27Speaker 1: not a two-sided story. One side got attacked and continues
- 1:45:31Speaker 1: to get attacked every day. Maybe now it's the media
- 1:45:34Speaker 1: or the morons, but it's Israel. They're the victims. That's it.
- 1:45:38Speaker 1: Peter King, good morning. How are you?
- 1:45:40Speaker 19: Good morning, Sid. It's a sad day, though. I mean,
- 1:45:44Speaker 19: three years ago today, to show you how wrong I was,
- 1:45:47Speaker 19: I thought if anything positive comes out of this, now
- 1:45:49Speaker 19: the whole world will know that Israel is right, Hamas
- 1:45:52Speaker 19: is wrong, Iran is wrong. Instead, within two or three days,
- 1:45:57Speaker 19: the whole thing turned against Israel. It's really shameful, and
- 1:46:01Speaker 19: it's really a commentary on the moral state of people
- 1:46:05Speaker 19: in the United States, people around the world, certainly those
- 1:46:08Speaker 19: phony Europeans. We can go up and down the list here.
- 1:46:10Speaker 19: It's really terrible. I never thought, again, you know, you
- 1:46:13Speaker 19: study the Holocaust, you study all of Jewish persecution over
- 1:46:16Speaker 19: the centuries, and you figure, well, that's all behind us.
- 1:46:19Speaker 19: And now, certainly, after October 7th, nobody would even think
- 1:46:23Speaker 19: of being anti-Semitic again. Instead, that's all you hear today.
- 1:46:27Speaker 19: And the fact that we elected a mayor who was
- 1:46:30Speaker 19: silent and was calling for global intifada, who were silenced
- 1:46:34Speaker 19: during the Columbia takeover. I mean, this is just horrible.
- 1:46:37Speaker 19: So it's a tense state of affairs. And I think
- 1:46:40Speaker 19: we have to realize who our friends are, who aren't,
- 1:46:43Speaker 19: and really stand and fight. There's no time here for
- 1:46:46Speaker 19: conciliation and trying to reason with people. To me, we've
- 1:46:48Speaker 19: got to take a tough stand. We've got to get
- 1:46:50Speaker 19: out there. We've got to get the job done.
- 1:46:52Speaker 1: Bottom line. And, you know, talking about the mayor, he
- 1:46:54Speaker 1: just tweeted, had this conversation moments ago with Trayman and others.
- 1:46:58Speaker 1: He tweeted this long tweet about the horrific events of
- 1:47:01Speaker 1: October 7th and what a terrible day it was. As
- 1:47:04Speaker 1: if he cares. You said it. His wife liked the images.
- 1:47:09Speaker 1: She liked the videos. Girls getting raped. People being murdered.
- 1:47:13Speaker 1: And when they asked him about it once or twice,
- 1:47:15Speaker 1: because the New York media is a bunch of pussies,
- 1:47:17Speaker 1: they really are, they're disgraceful. What did he say? Listen,
- 1:47:20Speaker 1: she's a private person. No, she's not your moron. She's
- 1:47:23Speaker 1: the first lady of New York City. She's married to
- 1:47:26Speaker 1: the mayor. She's a very public person. And then he
- 1:47:28Speaker 1: went on to compliment her, how beautiful she is and
- 1:47:31Speaker 1: how much he loves her. So he's had opportunity to
- 1:47:35Speaker 1: come out in the past. and A, A, disagree with
- 1:47:39Speaker 1: his wife, but B, talk about the victims, and then
- 1:47:41Speaker 1: he's got the nerve to tweet something today, and he's
- 1:47:44Speaker 1: going to a vigil tonight? Is he not the biggest
- 1:47:47Speaker 1: lying scumbag in the history of New York politics?
- 1:47:51Speaker 19: Yeah, to me, he is definitely the worst. I can't
- 1:47:54Speaker 19: imagine anybody else even coming close to him. And, you know,
- 1:47:57Speaker 19: like you talk about his wife. Listen, it's always rough
- 1:47:59Speaker 19: when you get a family member involved. Having said that,
- 1:48:02Speaker 19: we're not talking about a disagreement over a tax bill
- 1:48:04Speaker 19: or a transportation bill or whether a subway or a
- 1:48:07Speaker 19: tunnel or a bridge to be built. This is really
- 1:48:10Speaker 19: life and death. It's morality and immorality. And to me,
- 1:48:14Speaker 19: at the very least, you should say, on this issue,
- 1:48:16Speaker 19: I strongly disagree with my wife. But he can't because
- 1:48:18Speaker 19: he doesn't. That's the reality.
- 1:48:19Speaker 8: For once, he's being honest.
- 1:48:21Speaker 19: I mean, really, anyone who can talk in such a
- 1:48:25Speaker 19: casual way about global intifada, to be silent when Hamas
- 1:48:29Speaker 19: demonstrators were taken over the streets, to me, that says
- 1:48:32Speaker 19: it all. And it's not You know, you can have
- 1:48:35Speaker 19: so many different political disagreements where there's honest people on
- 1:48:38Speaker 19: both sides.
- 1:48:39Speaker 8: This isn't one of them.
- 1:48:40Speaker 19: This is a clear case of if there's any genocide,
- 1:48:45Speaker 19: it's what the what Hamas and Iran and others are
- 1:48:48Speaker 19: trying to do to Israel, you know, to the state
- 1:48:50Speaker 19: of Israel.
- 1:48:50Speaker 1: Glad you mentioned Iran, because so many Americans are mad
- 1:48:53Speaker 1: about Iran and Trump's approval rating is in the mid
- 1:48:56Speaker 1: 30s and the midterms are in. Jeopardy, to say the least,
- 1:48:59Speaker 1: that may be nice because of Iran. Yet again, look
- 1:49:02Speaker 1: back at that day, October the 7th. And what was
- 1:49:05Speaker 1: the country? What was the country that funded all those groups?
- 1:49:10Speaker 1: Hamas and, of course, the morons, those people, because they
- 1:49:15Speaker 1: were really supposed to attack Israel the same day. Hamas
- 1:49:19Speaker 1: and what's the group in Hezbollah? They screwed it up.
- 1:49:22Speaker 1: So Hezbollah started the next day. Even the Houthis in Yemen,
- 1:49:26Speaker 1: all of these terrorist proxies are funded by Iran.
- 1:49:31Speaker 8: Totally.
- 1:49:32Speaker 19: Iran is the largest supporter of state terrorism in the world.
- 1:49:36Speaker 19: And I hate to admit it, those forces they have, Hezbollah, Hamas,
- 1:49:41Speaker 19: the Houthis, they are well-trained. They are, unfortunately, excellent fighters.
- 1:49:46Speaker 19: They know what they're doing. And that's why it's so
- 1:49:48Speaker 19: important that we go after them. And President Trump, the
- 1:49:51Speaker 19: only criticism I make of President Trump with Iran is
- 1:49:53Speaker 19: he had to do it. He did the right thing.
- 1:49:55Speaker 19: He has to continue doing it. But don't try to
- 1:49:57Speaker 19: say it's going to be an easy war. Don't say
- 1:49:59Speaker 19: that Iran is begging for peace. Those guys will fight
- 1:50:03Speaker 19: to the last person because they're crazy. They're obsessed. They're
- 1:50:06Speaker 19: absolute lunatics. And they're dangerous. And they're going to have
- 1:50:09Speaker 19: nuclear weapons. So I think the president should be saying
- 1:50:12Speaker 19: is this is tougher than we thought it was going
- 1:50:13Speaker 19: to be. We're going to say it to the end.
- 1:50:15Speaker 19: There are going to be sacrifices. I understand your gas
- 1:50:17Speaker 19: prices are going up, but again, go back to World
- 1:50:20Speaker 19: War II and other great struggles. Americans made the sacrifice,
- 1:50:23Speaker 19: as you made, and I'm asking you to make that
- 1:50:25Speaker 19: sacrifice one more time because President Trump does not want
- 1:50:28Speaker 19: to be the president. Two or three years from now,
- 1:50:30Speaker 19: when he's out of office and Iran is attacking people
- 1:50:33Speaker 19: and using nuclear weapons, people will say, where was Trump
- 1:50:36Speaker 19: when we needed him? He's doing the right thing. He
- 1:50:38Speaker 19: should stay on it. And he should say how serious
- 1:50:41Speaker 19: it is. And there's no such thing as an easy war. Certainly,
- 1:50:44Speaker 19: when you're dealing with people like Iran, it's not easy.
- 1:50:46Speaker 19: But we will win. We can't lose. We just got
- 1:50:49Speaker 19: to stay on it.
- 1:50:50Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny. You know, talking about easy wars, he
- 1:50:52Speaker 1: actually said to me on this show, he said, Sid,
- 1:50:54Speaker 1: I really thought of all the wars. I solved eight
- 1:50:56Speaker 1: world conflicts. I really thought the easiest one was going
- 1:50:58Speaker 1: to be Russia-Ukraine because Putin loves me. He called it easy.
- 1:51:02Speaker 1: And Putin is nowhere near. He's nowhere near. ending that war,
- 1:51:07Speaker 1: that conflict with Ukraine. So he does use the word
- 1:51:11Speaker 1: easy sometimes for stuff that is not. But I will
- 1:51:14Speaker 1: say this. I still love him. But you know who
- 1:51:15Speaker 1: hates him? You know who hates him? Deborah Messing. Yet
- 1:51:19Speaker 1: the very popular actress from Will and Grace, much like
- 1:51:23Speaker 1: Bonnie Lautenberg, Democrat. Much like Bob Holden, Democrat. This Democrat
- 1:51:30Speaker 1: Trump-painting actress jumped aboard the Bruce Blakeman train, and I
- 1:51:34Speaker 1: was happy to see it.
- 1:51:36Speaker 19: The movement is definitely going toward Bruce. I think there
- 1:51:38Speaker 19: is in New York. I think the Republican Party is
- 1:51:40Speaker 19: certainly downstate here in Long Island, but also around the state.
- 1:51:44Speaker 19: You see what is building from Bruce Blakeman. Bruce is
- 1:51:46Speaker 19: going to well. And also, if I can put in
- 1:51:48Speaker 19: a personal request here for my friend Janine Driscoll, I
- 1:51:51Speaker 19: think he's running a great race for Congress. And there's
- 1:51:53Speaker 19: really been some developments. First of all, every law enforcement group.
- 1:51:56Speaker 19: And Nassau County is endorsed. Police, detectives, superior officers, but
- 1:52:00Speaker 19: also her opponent is refusing to debate her. It's a
- 1:52:03Speaker 19: Channel 12 debate, which every incumbent always does. And for
- 1:52:06Speaker 19: some reason, he's backed out of debate. She's afraid to
- 1:52:09Speaker 19: debate her. But the only negative thing is that Janine
- 1:52:11Speaker 19: is picking up whatever reason. The people in Washington are
- 1:52:14Speaker 19: not giving her the money she needs. She's got TV
- 1:52:17Speaker 19: commercials ready to go. She had a great one going now,
- 1:52:19Speaker 19: but she has two more ready to go. So I
- 1:52:21Speaker 19: just would, again, if you get her on your show,
- 1:52:23Speaker 19: give her some free air time. Let her get on
- 1:52:25Speaker 19: there to make up for the deficiency that she's not
- 1:52:27Speaker 19: getting from Washington, unfortunately. But again, that race can be won.
- 1:52:31Speaker 1: It will be won.
- 1:52:32Speaker 19: And I'm a thousand percent behind her.
- 1:52:33Speaker 1: Get her in here next week. Okay. Tell her you just,
- 1:52:35Speaker 1: I was just on with city. Once you're back in here,
- 1:52:37Speaker 1: cause I do love her to our kids. Great to
- 1:52:39Speaker 1: our kids friends with, Both of my kids. So Janine
- 1:52:42Speaker 1: Driscoll is going to win that race. She's going to
- 1:52:43Speaker 1: beat Laura Gillum. You know, talking about debates, we had
- 1:52:47Speaker 1: one last week for Comptroller Hernandez versus DiNapoli. Tomorrow night,
- 1:52:50Speaker 1: we've got my friend Saritha. She's going to debate Letitia
- 1:52:53Speaker 1: James in the AG race. And Tuesday night, all three
- 1:52:57Speaker 1: of these on New York One with that racist Daryl Lewis.
- 1:53:00Speaker 1: Tuesday night is the one debate that New York One
- 1:53:03Speaker 1: will have between Blakeman and Hochul. I expect Bruce to
- 1:53:08Speaker 1: wipe the floor with hijab Hochul on Tuesday night. What
- 1:53:12Speaker 1: about you?
- 1:53:13Speaker 19: Yeah, in fact, I'll be with Joe Caro and some
- 1:53:15Speaker 19: friends down at King Umberto's watching it on television. We're
- 1:53:18Speaker 19: going to be cheering Bruce on. And now Bruce is
- 1:53:20Speaker 19: doing well. And you mentioned Sharita. This was a boxing match.
- 1:53:24Speaker 19: That would be called TKO in the first round. I mean,
- 1:53:28Speaker 19: she is head and shoulders over Tish James. It was
- 1:53:31Speaker 19: not even close. I mean, Sharita is– I never knew
- 1:53:35Speaker 19: her before this campaign. I got to meet her, I guess,
- 1:53:37Speaker 19: early in the spring. And she's incredibly intelligent, smart. A
- 1:53:41Speaker 19: great story. I mean, her family is great. She's the
- 1:53:46Speaker 19: real deal. I mean, she prosecuted major terrorist cases. So she's, again,
- 1:53:55Speaker 19: for her as Attorney General, Bruce as Governor, Sarita as
- 1:54:01Speaker 19: Attorney General, Joe Fernandez as Comptroller, Janine Driscoll in Congress.
- 1:54:06Speaker 8: We'll be doing great.
- 1:54:07Speaker 19: It'll be a whole new world here in New York,
- 1:54:08Speaker 19: and we've got to get it done.
- 1:54:09Speaker 1: Let's hope so. Peter, as always, excellent job on this
- 1:54:12Speaker 1: somber morning. You really are awesome.
- 1:54:14Speaker 2: I love you.
- 1:54:15Speaker 1: Thank you. Thank you, Peter. Thank you so much. Peter
- 1:54:18Speaker 1: King right there, the former great congressman, Homeland Security. He's
- 1:54:20Speaker 1: just a terrific guy. We love Peter.
- 1:54:23Speaker 14: Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple
- 1:54:27Speaker 14: Podcast Network.
- 1:54:29Speaker 7: Sid and Friends.
- 1:54:30Speaker 1: He's a huge pro-Israel supporter, like John Cougar Mellencamp, which
- 1:54:34Speaker 1: Lewis played earlier. And a bunch of folks hate him
- 1:54:37Speaker 1: because of that. You know, Gabe Boxer is going to
- 1:54:40Speaker 1: join us live in studio. He's part of that One
- 1:54:42Speaker 1: Israel Fun group. Goes by the name Kosher Guru on
- 1:54:46Speaker 1: the internet. He's very, very popular. But I did want
- 1:54:48Speaker 1: to play this. So the Nova Music Festival, they killed
- 1:54:53Speaker 1: about 360 people, mostly young teenagers. And one of the
- 1:54:59Speaker 1: girls that survived, she was 27 at the time. Her
- 1:55:03Speaker 1: name is Natalie Sanandaji. She's all over the internet. Beautiful
- 1:55:07Speaker 1: young girl. And she came at the studio not long
- 1:55:11Speaker 1: after the October 7th atrocities. And it was a discussion
- 1:55:16Speaker 1: of how did she make it? Why did she make it?
- 1:55:21Speaker 1: I guess she had friends who were murdered that day
- 1:55:23Speaker 1: and everybody did, you know. A lot of concert goers
- 1:55:26Speaker 1: knew a lot of people who were killed that day.
- 1:55:28Speaker 1: And it came down to like, do I run to
- 1:55:31Speaker 1: the left or do I run to the right? That's it.
- 1:55:34Speaker 1: Just imagine, folks, you woke up this morning and you...
- 1:55:39Speaker 1: We're going to a concert like Woodstock. Well, what's that
- 1:55:43Speaker 1: crappy one out in California where everybody hates the Jews?
- 1:55:46Speaker 11: Well, Burning Man is out there.
- 1:55:48Speaker 1: No, that's not the one. Maybe it's not California. Well, like, no,
- 1:55:51Speaker 1: the one actually outside the country where Necap performs and
- 1:55:54Speaker 1: Bob Dylan. It's a very popular one. What's the name
- 1:55:57Speaker 1: of that? It's garbage. Coachella?
- 1:55:59Speaker 11: Oh, Coachella.
- 1:56:00Speaker 1: Yeah, that's garbage. It's outside of California. California, right? Well,
- 1:56:05Speaker 1: it's not.
- 1:56:05Speaker 11: Yeah, it's out west.
- 1:56:06Speaker 1: I believe. Somewhere out there, right? So you go to
- 1:56:09Speaker 1: a concert today, and at some point this afternoon, you're
- 1:56:12Speaker 1: going to have a decision. If I run to the right,
- 1:56:16Speaker 1: I will probably get captured. Now, this girl is pretty,
- 1:56:19Speaker 1: so she would have been kidnapped, raped, and eventually murdered.
- 1:56:24Speaker 1: If I run to the left, I can make it.
- 1:56:27Speaker 1: That's your choice today, right? Not, what am I having
- 1:56:30Speaker 1: for lunch? What am I making for dinner? What am
- 1:56:33Speaker 1: I going to tell my boss? No, no. If I
- 1:56:36Speaker 1: run to the right, I may avoid getting abducted, raped,
- 1:56:41Speaker 1: and murdered. And she faced that choice that day. So
- 1:56:44Speaker 1: let's go back all the way to 2023. Natalie Sanandaji,
- 1:56:51Speaker 1: at the time, again, 27 years old, a Nova Music
- 1:56:55Speaker 1: Festival survivor, live in studio. Here's our conversation. Cut number six, Lewis.
- 1:57:02Speaker 1: Beautiful young girl I've got in the studio right now.
- 1:57:05Speaker 1: She's 28 years old. Her name is Natalie Sanandaji, I think.
- 1:57:10Speaker 1: Did I say it correctly?
- 1:57:11Speaker 16: Yes.
- 1:57:12Speaker 1: I did, okay. And Natalie is back in New York
- 1:57:17Speaker 1: after surviving... And that's the right word. The music festival
- 1:57:22Speaker 1: on that Saturday morning, October the 7th in Israel, where
- 1:57:28Speaker 1: 260 people died and a lot of young, beautiful people
- 1:57:32Speaker 1: like Natalie. I mean, I think for me, the face
- 1:57:35Speaker 1: of that whole thing was Shani Luke. And I don't
- 1:57:39Speaker 1: know if you knew her personally, if you were dancing
- 1:57:42Speaker 1: anywhere near her.
- 1:57:43Speaker 5: Actually, my friend who just got married about a week
- 1:57:45Speaker 5: before all this happened, Shani Luke was one of her
- 1:57:49Speaker 5: best friends and was at her wedding.
- 1:57:50Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Did you see her at all during
- 1:57:52Speaker 1: that day?
- 1:57:53Speaker 15: No.
- 1:57:53Speaker 1: Take me to the part where you actually find out
- 1:57:55Speaker 1: there are men on the ground there to kill you.
- 1:57:58Speaker 5: So we evacuate to our cars and we start driving
- 1:58:01Speaker 5: out and eventually after a few minutes, the festival security
- 1:58:03Speaker 5: starts yelling at everybody to please pull their cars over
- 1:58:06Speaker 5: to the side of the road and get out of
- 1:58:08Speaker 5: their cars and start running. And at this point, we
- 1:58:11Speaker 5: can't understand why they would ask us to do such
- 1:58:12Speaker 5: a thing. Why would they tell us to run from rockets?
- 1:58:15Speaker 5: But we listen to them because we know that they're
- 1:58:17Speaker 5: just trying to help us. And we pull our car
- 1:58:19Speaker 5: over and that's when we hear the first gunshots. And
- 1:58:21Speaker 5: as soon as we hear the first gunshots, we open
- 1:58:24Speaker 5: our doors and we start to run and try to
- 1:58:26Speaker 5: imagine this festival took place in an open field. There's
- 1:58:29Speaker 5: not many places to hide. Kids are running in every
- 1:58:32Speaker 5: direction possible. One of the most terrifying things was running
- 1:58:36Speaker 5: in a certain direction, thinking that you're running to safety
- 1:58:38Speaker 5: and then suddenly seeing dozens of kids from the group
- 1:58:42Speaker 5: that first left because there were like There was like
- 1:58:45Speaker 5: the first group that left. We were kind of in
- 1:58:47Speaker 5: this middle group. And then there was the last group.
- 1:58:50Speaker 5: And you suddenly see dozens of kids running in your direction.
- 1:58:52Speaker 5: And you realize that they're being pursued and they're being
- 1:58:54Speaker 5: shot at. And you now have to make a split
- 1:58:56Speaker 5: second decision and change directions in order to save your life.
- 1:59:01Speaker 5: And a lot of people asked me, how did you
- 1:59:03Speaker 5: know what decisions to make? How did you know what
- 1:59:05Speaker 5: decision was going to get you killed or save your life?
- 1:59:08Speaker 5: And I spoke to someone a few weeks ago who
- 1:59:10Speaker 5: interviewed a lot of Holocaust survivors. And he said that
- 1:59:12Speaker 5: when they were asked questions, how they knew what decision
- 1:59:15Speaker 5: to make in a life and death decision, in a
- 1:59:17Speaker 5: life and death situation. They coined a phrase, they called
- 1:59:21Speaker 5: it choiceless choices. And it's a choice where... In a moment,
- 1:59:25Speaker 5: you simply have to make a choice. You don't know
- 1:59:28Speaker 5: which choice is going to be the right one. We
- 1:59:30Speaker 5: have to make a choice. And I think that perfectly
- 1:59:33Speaker 5: describes every decision we made while running from the Hamas terrorists.
- 1:59:36Speaker 1: Wow. Unreal. So this mayor, this piece of garbage mayor,
- 1:59:40Speaker 1: this anti-Semite, anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, jihad boy, radical Islam, garbage mayor.
- 1:59:48Speaker 1: Did you see his statement today? Because when you see this,
- 1:59:52Speaker 1: you're not going to believe it. He starts off by
- 1:59:56Speaker 1: talking about how today is so profoundly painful for so
- 1:59:58Speaker 1: many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific
- 2:00:01Speaker 1: war crimes on October the 7th. On that day, Hamas
- 2:00:05Speaker 1: killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We
- 2:00:11Speaker 1: grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry
- 2:00:15Speaker 1: that unthinkable loss. That's it. Now you've got about 75%
- 2:00:20Speaker 1: of this statement that moves away from the innocent Israelis
- 2:00:25Speaker 1: murdered that day and only talks about the Palestinians. Listen
- 2:00:29Speaker 1: to this garbage. The suffering did not begin nor end
- 2:00:33Speaker 1: that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government's devastating
- 2:00:38Speaker 1: ongoing genocide in Gaza. This piece of garbage can't even
- 2:00:43Speaker 1: let the Israelis and the Jews have this one day.
- 2:00:47Speaker 1: Get back to your lies tomorrow. He won't even let
- 2:00:50Speaker 1: the Jews and the Israelis have one fucking day. Not one.
- 2:01:00Speaker 1: The Israeli government's devastating ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which
- 2:01:05Speaker 1: it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians. Says who, douchebag?
- 2:01:10Speaker 1: More than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more
- 2:01:15Speaker 1: than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. On and on. The
- 2:01:20Speaker 1: suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances,
- 2:01:24Speaker 1: waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building
- 2:01:29Speaker 1: or journalist, and every shipment of food that's been stolen
- 2:01:32Speaker 1: by Hamas. Israel has tried. You dog, you piece of garbage.
- 2:01:39Speaker 1: Hamas steals that. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this
- 2:01:44Speaker 1: unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside the Palestinians, all while
- 2:01:48Speaker 1: knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes. Three
- 2:01:52Speaker 1: years later, we must refuse to accept a world in
- 2:01:56Speaker 1: which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met
- 2:02:01Speaker 1: with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with
- 2:02:06Speaker 1: every arms shipment. To honor the dead, we must fight
- 2:02:10Speaker 1: for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety,
- 2:02:14Speaker 1: and dignity. That's his October 7th message. I want to
- 2:02:19Speaker 1: punch him across the face. I want to drag the mayor,
- 2:02:23Speaker 1: literally drag him, from Wall Street to the Upper West Side.
- 2:02:28Speaker 1: Till the skin comes off his face. I hate this
- 2:02:31Speaker 1: man like I've never hated anybody in my whole life.
- 2:02:35Speaker 1: This piece of garbage can't even give Jews and Israelis
- 2:02:39Speaker 1: their one day and get back to lying tomorrow. 75%
- 2:02:45Speaker 1: of his statement today talks about the Palestinians. You know
- 2:02:49Speaker 1: what Hamas is? Palestinians. Radical, but Palestinians. They carry this out.
- 2:02:58Speaker 1: Everyday Palestinians went across the border that day, abducted and
- 2:03:03Speaker 1: killed Jews, hid hostages, played along. They were accomplices at
- 2:03:10Speaker 1: every level. Mr. Mayor, you piece of garbage. And this
- 2:03:18Speaker 1: is what he puts out there today. Two sentences on
- 2:03:21Speaker 1: the Israelis, the rest of it, the poor Palestinians.
- 2:03:26Speaker 14: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
- 2:03:30Speaker 14: Podcast Network.
- 2:03:32Speaker 1: The Palestinians helped us before, the day of, since. Is
- 2:03:38Speaker 1: every Palestinian a terrorist? No. But way too many for
- 2:03:41Speaker 1: my liking. And on a day like today, when the
- 2:03:43Speaker 1: Israelis were the ones that were murdered, that was genocide today,
- 2:03:48Speaker 1: three years ago. To mention the Palestinians in 80% of
- 2:03:53Speaker 1: your statement is despicable. He's a monster. I'm telling you, folks,
- 2:04:00Speaker 1: I know you don't care, the people that love him.
- 2:04:03Speaker 1: He's a monster. He's a vile, disgusting anti-Semite, a raging
- 2:04:09Speaker 1: jihad terrorist. I don't care if Fox News never puts
- 2:04:13Speaker 1: me on again. I don't care. I'm sick of it.
- 2:04:18Speaker 1: I'm sick of finding ways to say something about somebody
- 2:04:22Speaker 1: who is as horrible as this mayor. That statement, that's unbelievable.
- 2:04:29Speaker 1: All it does is badmouth Israel on this day. On
- 2:04:33Speaker 1: this day. Do it tomorrow. You want to lie tomorrow?
- 2:04:37Speaker 1: Go ahead. Lie every day. You can't even find it
- 2:04:41Speaker 1: in your black soul, your heart if you've got one,
- 2:04:47Speaker 1: to give the Israelis a little bit of sympathy today.
- 2:04:50Speaker 1: He couldn't even do it, the mayor. He couldn't even
- 2:04:53Speaker 1: do it. And I've got people stopping me in the street.
- 2:04:56Speaker 1: Timmy Paciola, you moron. You're a nice young kid. You're
- 2:05:00Speaker 1: a moron. You're okay with this statement, Timmy? Timmy Paciola?
- 2:05:04Speaker 1: Melissa Russo? NBC? You're a Jew? You're a disgrace. You
- 2:05:09Speaker 1: like this statement, Melissa? Marsha Kramer? CBS? You like this statement?
- 2:05:16Speaker 1: Morgan Mackay, Channel 5, you like this statement? Two sentences
- 2:05:21Speaker 1: on the Israelis. 80% on how the Israelis are terrible
- 2:05:27Speaker 1: and killing innocent Palestinians. I mean, I honestly don't know
- 2:05:31Speaker 1: whether to cry or beat the shit out of the mayor.
- 2:05:34Speaker 1: I don't know which one. Gabriel Boxer is one of
- 2:05:38Speaker 1: my dearest friends. He's been to Israel with me every
- 2:05:41Speaker 1: time I've gone. He's part of the great One Israel
- 2:05:43Speaker 1: Fun crew. And he's a Very important resident in Nassau County.
- 2:05:48Speaker 1: We love Gabe Boxer. Goes by the Kosher Guru on
- 2:05:52Speaker 1: all his social media accounts and is kind enough to
- 2:05:54Speaker 1: join me in studio today. And Gabe goes to me,
- 2:05:57Speaker 1: I don't know, Sid, not yourself today. Well, yeah, you
- 2:06:00Speaker 1: should have seen my 9-11. I was the same way.
- 2:06:02Speaker 1: Days like today, I'm not going to be myself. I
- 2:06:05Speaker 1: started off sad, Gabe. Now I'm angry. I don't blame you.
- 2:06:08Speaker 17: Especially, I lived through October 7th. I was in Israel,
- 2:06:12Speaker 17: in Jerusalem that day. It's forever etched in my memory.
- 2:06:14Speaker 17: You and I I was actually talking to Justin before.
- 2:06:17Speaker 17: I remember when you and I visited so many times
- 2:06:20Speaker 17: to Israel, but one day that still etches is that
- 2:06:23Speaker 17: morning in Sderot when we were trying to hook up
- 2:06:26Speaker 17: the show for everyone to listen to us live in Sderot.
- 2:06:30Speaker 1: That was the one-year anniversary of, I almost said 9-11,
- 2:06:33Speaker 1: of October 7th, yes.
- 2:06:35Speaker 17: But if you remember, Hamas was aiming missiles at us
- 2:06:39Speaker 17: and we had to run. And I mean, you and I,
- 2:06:41Speaker 17: Justin and I were carrying, Justin was carrying, I was
- 2:06:42Speaker 17: running after Justin into the bomb shelter. They didn't even
- 2:06:46Speaker 17: give us a second to breathe and to get our
- 2:06:50Speaker 17: people home safely. And since then, till the third anniversary
- 2:06:54Speaker 17: with Mamdani, what he's saying out there, repeating, repeating the
- 2:06:59Speaker 17: false narrative, the lies of the Hamas Ministry of Health,
- 2:07:03Speaker 17: the Gazmash, which is run by Hamas, which has been
- 2:07:06Speaker 17: proven to been proven that they are lies and falsehoods.
- 2:07:10Speaker 17: And like what you did when Biden was speaking in D.C.,
- 2:07:13Speaker 17: he is repeating them again with absolutely no honor whatsoever.
- 2:07:19Speaker 1: It makes no sense. It makes no sense. You would
- 2:07:21Speaker 1: think that today he would just kind of put all
- 2:07:22Speaker 1: that stuff aside. Get back to it tomorrow. He's got
- 2:07:25Speaker 1: 364 days. You can lie about the Israelis. But you
- 2:07:27Speaker 1: would think today he'd be like, OK, listen. today's about
- 2:07:30Speaker 1: Israel and the people that were murdered, the innocent. He
- 2:07:33Speaker 1: can't even do it. And he's got the nerve to
- 2:07:35Speaker 1: come up with some type of bogus anti-Semitism plan. This
- 2:07:39Speaker 1: type of nonsense where you sympathize with the Palestinians and
- 2:07:42Speaker 1: not the Jews, what it does is it increases the
- 2:07:45Speaker 1: chance of anti-Semitism attacks.
- 2:07:48Speaker 17: And with what he's tweeting, any attack on the Jewish
- 2:07:51Speaker 17: people in New York City is a result of him
- 2:07:55Speaker 17: and he is at fault. And we have to hold
- 2:07:56Speaker 17: him accountable for what he's doing. The most divisive mayor
- 2:08:00Speaker 17: this city, and I think any city in the United
- 2:08:02Speaker 17: States of America has ever seen. Sid, it makes no sense.
- 2:08:05Speaker 17: And on top of it, you mentioned just a few
- 2:08:07Speaker 17: minutes ago in the monologue leading up to right now
- 2:08:09Speaker 17: that the Palestinians, remember, they voted for Hamas.
- 2:08:14Speaker 1: They elected Hamas. They're going to say, well, they have
- 2:08:17Speaker 1: no choice because Hamas shows up with guns and they're
- 2:08:20Speaker 1: kind of prisoners of their own people. And if you
- 2:08:22Speaker 1: believe that, it's because you've never been there. Anybody who
- 2:08:25Speaker 1: talks about Israel, who says these things, I promise you,
- 2:08:29Speaker 1: they've never been there. They don't know the dynamic. You,
- 2:08:32Speaker 1: you gay boxer, I do it, I really don't. Not
- 2:08:35Speaker 1: only do you go to Israel, to the Gaza border,
- 2:08:37Speaker 1: somehow or another, the IDF invites you behind the walls.
- 2:08:42Speaker 1: You've seen the IDF actually take out Hamas terrorists. And
- 2:08:45Speaker 1: they say, no, the Palestinians, they don't want to do that.
- 2:08:49Speaker 1: Hamas makes them. That's not true.
- 2:08:52Speaker 17: I got invited and embedded into Hativa, the paratroop unit,
- 2:08:55Speaker 17: 646 for a day. when they went to Khan Yunus,
- 2:08:59Speaker 17: saw what was going on, went to the schools, were
- 2:09:01Speaker 17: in the schools, you're talking about indoctrination of kids at
- 2:09:03Speaker 17: a young age, where the murals of bus bombings and
- 2:09:07Speaker 17: Jews being blown up, this is what third graders, fourth
- 2:09:10Speaker 17: graders are being taught and embedded into them. But remember,
- 2:09:13Speaker 17: when you're talking about, are there any innocent, we'll call
- 2:09:15Speaker 17: them Palestinians, for lack of a better term right now,
- 2:09:18Speaker 17: on air, these are the same people that these liberal
- 2:09:21Speaker 17: left communities along the Gaza envelope, along the Gaza border,
- 2:09:24Speaker 17: brought them in, to work, to show them. They drove
- 2:09:27Speaker 17: to hospitals and they're the ones that took notes and
- 2:09:30Speaker 17: wrote down where everyone's home is, who has a dog,
- 2:09:33Speaker 17: who has a gun. And they gave all this information
- 2:09:37Speaker 17: and drew out where the bedroom is, where the safe
- 2:09:39Speaker 17: room is. They were complicit 1,000% in the terror of
- 2:09:44Speaker 17: that day. And a lot of them came across the
- 2:09:45Speaker 17: border with those guys that day. Innocent Palestinian civilians. What
- 2:09:50Speaker 17: were they doing by the Kibbutzim that day? With their
- 2:09:52Speaker 17: GoPros and video cameras and sharing it all. And the
- 2:09:56Speaker 17: most disgusting thing is... From when the Holocaust happened, it
- 2:09:59Speaker 17: took X amount of years for there to be Holocaust deniers.
- 2:10:03Speaker 17: From October 7th, when it happened, already, October 7th at night,
- 2:10:07Speaker 17: there were October 7th deniers. Yet, like the Nazis, Hamas
- 2:10:12Speaker 17: videotaped and aired all over every social media platform.
- 2:10:15Speaker 1: The Nazis actually tried to hide it. Remember, we exposed
- 2:10:20Speaker 1: the Nazis years and years later. They tried to hide it.
- 2:10:24Speaker 1: They lied. They didn't have back then, obviously, cameras and
- 2:10:27Speaker 1: cell phones and phone cameras. A lot of those Nazis,
- 2:10:31Speaker 1: they denied it. They said, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- 2:10:34Speaker 1: I didn't do that. These people, like you said, they
- 2:10:37Speaker 1: couldn't wait to show the world. They're worse than the Nazis.
- 2:10:39Speaker 17: Yes, although the Nazis documented it, Hamas aired it to
- 2:10:42Speaker 17: the world. As it was happening, how could anybody in
- 2:10:45Speaker 17: their right mind, how could even Mayor Mamdani in his
- 2:10:48Speaker 17: right mind say it wasn't a genocide against the Jews,
- 2:10:52Speaker 17: the terror attacks never happened? Who in their right mind
- 2:10:55Speaker 17: could deny what they themselves erred for the world to see?
- 2:10:59Speaker 17: And they take pride in it, and they say they
- 2:11:01Speaker 17: did it. They don't even deny it.
- 2:11:03Speaker 1: No, of course not. So where were you that morning again?
- 2:11:05Speaker 1: You were where? I was in Jerusalem.
- 2:11:07Speaker 17: I was there for, which was, you know, the Jewish
- 2:11:09Speaker 17: holiday of Sukkot into Simchas Torah. It was actually my
- 2:11:11Speaker 17: daughter's birthday, October 7th. We were lucky to actually, October
- 2:11:14Speaker 17: 6th at night, we celebrated nightly over friends and family
- 2:11:16Speaker 17: over in the apartment. And I still remember my youngest
- 2:11:18Speaker 17: daughter waking me up at six something in the morning
- 2:11:21Speaker 17: saying there's alarms going off. She's hearing bombs. And I'm like, No, no, no.
- 2:11:26Speaker 17: It's just the alarm clock. We didn't have an alarm clock.
- 2:11:27Speaker 17: I just made it feel good. And all of a sudden,
- 2:11:29Speaker 17: within minutes, we're waking up, understanding what's going on. We
- 2:11:32Speaker 17: spent that entire day in our bomb shelter. And where
- 2:11:34Speaker 17: our complex is, our bomb complex in Jerusalem, we have
- 2:11:37Speaker 17: people who are from the UN there, the embassy. And
- 2:11:39Speaker 17: they're all getting messages on their phone of what's going
- 2:11:42Speaker 17: on that day. We didn't even understand the severity of
- 2:11:45Speaker 17: it until hours later. And that next day, literally that night,
- 2:11:49Speaker 17: but the next day, you met Captain Yigal Delmoni, who
- 2:11:52Speaker 17: was the one who took me into Gaza.
- 2:11:53Speaker 1: But you met him.
- 2:11:54Speaker 17: I was on the road with two Jewish singers and
- 2:11:59Speaker 17: some other people. We packed our car up, going to
- 2:12:01Speaker 17: an army base near Petach Tikva and giving out food, clothing, t-shirts, underwear, socks,
- 2:12:07Speaker 17: because these heroes literally left their houses when they got
- 2:12:10Speaker 17: that call with nothing or whatever they could take. They
- 2:12:13Speaker 17: ran to the base, and this is the embodiment, the
- 2:12:17Speaker 17: soul of an Israeli. They will drop everything to protect everybody.
- 2:12:20Speaker 1: That's true. I saw Sammy Steigman last week at Caroline
- 2:12:23Speaker 1: Schenkel's event that I hosted. He's on Box News right
- 2:12:25Speaker 1: now with Natalie Sanandaji. I just played the audio of
- 2:12:28Speaker 1: me and Natalie from three years ago. How ironic is that?
- 2:12:31Speaker 1: Moments after that, Natalie and Steigman on Box News together.
- 2:12:34Speaker 1: But I've got the great one, the kosher guru, Gabriel Boxer, Mr.
- 2:12:38Speaker 1: Nassau County. So, you know, Gabe, there are some things,
- 2:12:42Speaker 1: like Alex Trayman said, good things that came out of this.
- 2:12:46Speaker 1: I know it's hard to believe because it was so brutal.
- 2:12:48Speaker 1: And what's happened since October 8th, this moronic world of
- 2:12:52Speaker 1: ours buying into this nonsense because people are stupid and uneducated,
- 2:12:56Speaker 1: and they feel very comfortable hating on us. That's what
- 2:13:00Speaker 1: it is, okay? But look, I've been to Israel five
- 2:13:03Speaker 1: times since then, never before. I made friends with people
- 2:13:05Speaker 1: like you and Scott Beltman and a new Judah Honeckman before,
- 2:13:09Speaker 1: but Alex Trayman, all these people. People like me. Not
- 2:13:12Speaker 1: like you. You went to the Wailing Wall. You didn't
- 2:13:15Speaker 1: take your cell phone.
- 2:13:17Speaker 8: I did.
- 2:13:17Speaker 1: I took pictures. You pray on Shabbos. You actually observe Shabbos.
- 2:13:21Speaker 1: That's not me. And still not me, mind you. Although
- 2:13:25Speaker 1: I still remember I made you walk on Sabbath. You
- 2:13:27Speaker 1: were upsetting me. I made you walk from the Wailing
- 2:13:29Speaker 1: Wall all the way to the Fallon House. I was
- 2:13:31Speaker 1: so mad at you. I remember that. I was mad
- 2:13:33Speaker 1: at Danielle, too, because she walked with you. You guys
- 2:13:35Speaker 1: were like four blocks ahead of me. But People like
- 2:13:37Speaker 1: me who were just proud to be Jewish, but not lions.
- 2:13:42Speaker 1: And there's a lot of Sid Rosenbergs now that woke up,
- 2:13:45Speaker 1: woke up. It took this awful, awful tragedy, but a
- 2:13:49Speaker 1: lot of people like Sid Rosenberg that now will kill
- 2:13:52Speaker 1: to defend a Jew.
- 2:13:53Speaker 17: I always tell everybody, I don't care what religious level
- 2:13:56Speaker 17: you're on. That's between you and God, and everyone's on
- 2:13:57Speaker 17: a different level. But when it comes down to it,
- 2:14:00Speaker 17: we're all Jews. And just like Hamas, and just like
- 2:14:02Speaker 17: the Nazis, they didn't care if you went to synagogue
- 2:14:04Speaker 17: that morning. They didn't care if you went to the
- 2:14:06Speaker 17: Wailing Wall with or without your phone. They didn't care
- 2:14:08Speaker 17: if you prayed on what you just said on the Sabbath,
- 2:14:10Speaker 17: not the Sabbath. If we look at the communities, what
- 2:14:12Speaker 17: Hamas did to the communities along the Gaza border, these
- 2:14:15Speaker 17: were not religious kibbutzim, moshavim. These were not religious communities.
- 2:14:19Speaker 17: These were liberal left communities. These were against you know,
- 2:14:22Speaker 17: the government will say.
- 2:14:23Speaker 1: Bebe, right. Bebe, I'm getting to that point also. Yeah.
- 2:14:26Speaker 17: These people will look at me and you much differently
- 2:14:28Speaker 17: then than they will today.
- 2:14:30Speaker 1: They don't care.
- 2:14:31Speaker 17: And that's one thing we have to really start to
- 2:14:34Speaker 17: understand amongst ourselves. The world doesn't care if you're religious
- 2:14:38Speaker 17: or not. The world doesn't care what you put something
- 2:14:40Speaker 17: in every day or not. That's between you and God.
- 2:14:43Speaker 17: And listen, we're all on different paths and, you know,
- 2:14:44Speaker 17: different spiritual levels, but the world doesn't care. And they
- 2:14:47Speaker 17: will kill you whether you're religious or not. And we
- 2:14:50Speaker 17: saw that time and time again throughout history, and we
- 2:14:52Speaker 17: all experienced on October 7th, and it's time we put
- 2:14:55Speaker 17: the BS aside and realize that they hate us.
- 2:14:57Speaker 1: For who we are. Bottom line. How do you feel
- 2:14:59Speaker 1: about these elections coming up with Bibi in three weeks? Crazy. Crazy.
- 2:15:03Speaker 17: I actually spent my summer in Israel. I was there
- 2:15:05Speaker 17: since the end of June until early September. I'm actually
- 2:15:07Speaker 17: going back next week for a conference in Judea. I'll
- 2:15:10Speaker 17: be with Mike Huckabee. They're doing the Judea conference where
- 2:15:13Speaker 17: Mike Huckabee is signing a declaration for Judea and Samaria
- 2:15:15Speaker 17: at the It's going to be an amazing event with
- 2:15:18Speaker 17: the ambassador that day. It's actually next– not this coming Sunday,
- 2:15:20Speaker 17: the following Sunday with the Har Heveron Regional Municipality and
- 2:15:24Speaker 17: all of the mayors of all over Judea and Samaria.
- 2:15:27Speaker 17: I actually feel very confident because if you– just like
- 2:15:30Speaker 17: we're going to go back to Donald Trump and our
- 2:15:33Speaker 17: fake media in the U.S., if you look at the
- 2:15:35Speaker 17: polls from the liberal left stations– He's down. If you
- 2:15:39Speaker 17: look at the polls, we'll call it from the real media,
- 2:15:42Speaker 17: he has his, you know, majority. He has his coalition.
- 2:15:45Speaker 1: It's going to be tight. I do think it's going
- 2:15:46Speaker 1: to be tight.
- 2:15:47Speaker 17: It's going to be very interesting, but I do think
- 2:15:49Speaker 17: he's going to pull it off.
- 2:15:50Speaker 1: More, more moving forward. You're a Nassau County resident. You
- 2:15:53Speaker 1: spend a lot of time in Israel. I love you
- 2:15:54Speaker 1: for that, KB, but you're a Nassau County guy. How
- 2:15:56Speaker 1: do you feel about Bruce Blakeman's chances? So Bruce Blakeman
- 2:15:59Speaker 1: is a good friend of mine. I'm going to start
- 2:16:00Speaker 1: like that.
- 2:16:00Speaker 17: I love Bruce, loved him for a long time, since
- 2:16:03Speaker 17: before he was a town of Hempstead councilman. And, of course,
- 2:16:06Speaker 17: our Nassau County legislature doing the most amazing job ever.
- 2:16:09Speaker 17: I'm going to tell you like this. The polls are amazing.
- 2:16:12Speaker 17: If you look at where Zeldin was and Hochul X
- 2:16:15Speaker 17: amount of years ago and you look at Bruce today
- 2:16:18Speaker 17: and more and more people are realizing that they need change.
- 2:16:21Speaker 1: Look at Debra Messing. Look at Debra Messing.
- 2:16:24Speaker 17: Speaking of my mother the other day, and she showed
- 2:16:25Speaker 17: me a picture that my father took of Debra Messing
- 2:16:26Speaker 17: a few years ago, and talking about, she never would
- 2:16:28Speaker 17: have thought a Democrat like Debra Messing for Bruce Blanket-
- 2:16:31Speaker 17: Not her.
- 2:16:32Speaker 1: Holden, I can see. Even Lautenberg. Messing hates Trump.
- 2:16:35Speaker 8: Yes.
- 2:16:36Speaker 1: Hates him.
- 2:16:36Speaker 17: By the way, I don't know if you read, I
- 2:16:37Speaker 17: saw it on Instagram, if you read her, she has
- 2:16:39Speaker 17: 12 sides explaining her thing, and she made it very
- 2:16:41Speaker 17: clear about Trump. But she knows- Bruce Blakeman is the
- 2:16:45Speaker 17: best thing, not only for New York City, because we
- 2:16:47Speaker 17: have Mamdani, and he will keep, and I do believe
- 2:16:49Speaker 17: he'll keep Mamdani in his place, but for New York
- 2:16:52Speaker 17: State and the way it's going and how far this
- 2:16:56Speaker 17: state has fallen, we need Blakeman more than ever. And
- 2:16:59Speaker 17: I honestly, I'm putting money behind it. I'm putting every... Second,
- 2:17:04Speaker 17: I can't volunteer and help Bruce. I'm putting it all
- 2:17:06Speaker 17: behind him. I truly believe he has a chance, and
- 2:17:09Speaker 17: I truly believe he will also pull it off. As
- 2:17:11Speaker 17: crazy as everyone is saying whatever they're saying, I believe
- 2:17:14Speaker 17: Bruce will win, but we need to get every vote
- 2:17:16Speaker 17: out around the state, from Rensselaer to Saratoga to Niagara,
- 2:17:19Speaker 17: all the way down to the city. We need everyone
- 2:17:21Speaker 17: in Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau. So we need everybody, everyone, Westchester,
- 2:17:24Speaker 17: we can name all the counties. We need people like
- 2:17:27Speaker 17: you to get everybody else to come out.
- 2:17:29Speaker 1: You're one of my favorite people. You know that, right?
- 2:17:31Speaker 1: I really love you. And you're very cute. I love you, too.
- 2:17:33Speaker 1: You get all fired up. I thought you.
- 2:17:35Speaker 17: Just liked me because I'm the same name as your son.
- 2:17:37Speaker 1: That's what I thought. That's true. I didn't even think
- 2:17:38Speaker 1: about that just now. All I see is this gay
- 2:17:41Speaker 1: boxer screaming, boom, shakalaka, laka, laka.
- 2:17:44Speaker 17: You still do that on those videos. Boom, shakalaka all
- 2:17:47Speaker 17: the time. It's become my thing. Loved NBA Jam growing up.
- 2:17:49Speaker 17: That's my thing.
- 2:17:50Speaker 1: I love it, too.
- 2:17:51Speaker 17: I do want to tell you, though, when I was
- 2:17:52Speaker 17: running for a bit time before I got gerrymandered for
- 2:17:54Speaker 17: state senate back a few years ago, I remember George Cairo,
- 2:17:58Speaker 17: the GOP.
- 2:17:59Speaker 1: Joe Cairo. Joe Cairo.
- 2:18:00Speaker 17: He would always say, whatever you could do, knock on
- 2:18:03Speaker 17: your neighbor's door, get someone to get out and vote.
- 2:18:05Speaker 17: Do what you can. You're talking about Bruce Blakeman? We
- 2:18:08Speaker 17: need everybody to knock on their neighbor's doors, their family,
- 2:18:11Speaker 17: their friends, whoever they can. Sid, it's going to be close,
- 2:18:14Speaker 17: but we need every vote, and we've got to do
- 2:18:16Speaker 17: whatever we can to make Bruce the governor of New
- 2:18:19Speaker 17: York State, and I truly believe that, and I will
- 2:18:21Speaker 17: do whatever I can. I know you do every day
- 2:18:23Speaker 17: whatever you can.
- 2:18:24Speaker 1: It's scary. It's what's going on in our state. It's scary.
- 2:18:27Speaker 1: If he loses, you know this statement, next year in Yerushalayim?
- 2:18:31Speaker 1: That may be the case. I have an extra bedroom
- 2:18:33Speaker 1: for you in our apartment. If my in-laws let me
- 2:18:34Speaker 1: use the apartment again, I'm bringing you on in. Oh,
- 2:18:36Speaker 1: I had dinner with your in-laws. Yes, you did. At
- 2:18:38Speaker 1: the steak place. Yes, Harvey's Steakhouse. In Jerusalem.
- 2:18:40Speaker 7: Yeah, I remember.
- 2:18:41Speaker 1: They got a big porch.
- 2:18:42Speaker 16: Yes.
- 2:18:42Speaker 1: Very, very big porch. Yes, you came by. Yes, yes, yes.
- 2:18:45Speaker 8: Lovely.
- 2:18:45Speaker 1: We'll bring you there because you know what? New York
- 2:18:47Speaker 1: has fallen. It's almost over. If it happens.
- 2:18:48Speaker 16: I know.
- 2:18:49Speaker 1: Gabe Boxer, I love you to pieces. Thank you for
- 2:18:50Speaker 1: coming in. Love you too, Sid.
