  Speaker 1: Just Sid and Friends in the morning entertaining and informative.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: On the Red Apple podcast network.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, if we're going to put somebody on Mount Rushmore,
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: let's get Sid Rosenberg on Mount Rushmore.
• 0:14
  Speaker 4: After lengthy and hard fought negotiations, Mayor Mumdanni and members
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: of the City Council reached a budget deal just hours
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: before the midnight deadline.
• 0:21
  Speaker 5: And it's a deal that allows both sides to claim victory,
• 0:24
  Speaker 5: including thirty thousand more housing vouchers for New Yorkers, millions
• 0:28
  Speaker 5: of dollars to investigate nine to eleven toxins, and expanding
• 0:31
  Speaker 5: transit discounts to three hundred and forty thousand more people.
• 0:35
  Speaker 5: Political reporter Marsha Kramer is here with that and what
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: else is in it?
• 0:39
  Speaker 6: Marsha, Well, justin kJ Mayor Mamdanne wanted his first budget
• 0:43
  Speaker 6: to be a victory for working people, but in some
• 0:45
  Speaker 6: respects the city council may have one upped him, holding
• 0:49
  Speaker 6: out to almost eleventh hour for priorities. The mayor was
• 0:51
  Speaker 6: hesitant to embrace, but still he got to bask in
• 0:55
  Speaker 6: the fact that, as a democratic socialist in the financial
• 0:58
  Speaker 6: capital of the world, got it done. They walked into
• 1:04
  Speaker 6: the City Hall or atana from opposite sides of the
• 1:06
  Speaker 6: building for a handshake to sale. The deal on a
• 1:09
  Speaker 6: one hundred and twenty five point eight billion dollar budget,
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: one that depended on the Lord Jesup Governor Hokel to
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: avoid new taxes on just about everybody except the owners
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: of posh homes. The deal gave the freshman mayor, a
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: Democratic socialist, the opportunity to brag about his fiscal chops
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: and the financial capital of the world.
• 1:27
  Speaker 7: I've been reminded of the words of the Austrian economists
• 1:30
  Speaker 7: Frederick Hyer. If socialists understated economics, they wouldn't be socialists.
• 1:34
  Speaker 7: If these past months had shown us anything, it is
• 1:37
  Speaker 7: that socialists not only understand economics just as well as
• 1:39
  Speaker 7: the capitalists who came before.
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: Despite a gaping twelve billion dollar budget hole, the mayor
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: avoided major service cuts because Governor Hokel came to the
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: rescue with a massive bailout package, an extra four billion
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: dollars in the state aid, pension relief and class sized flexibility.
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: They saved over five hundred million dollars the governor block
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: the Mayor's called to tax the rich instead that approving
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: of pit a tere attax on second home is valued
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: over five million dollars. Council speaker Julie Mennon calling the deal.
• 2:07
  Speaker 8: Good budget we can all be proud of.
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: Men and also in our first term, scored some major victories.
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: An expansion of the fairfare program, making an additional three
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: hundred and forty thousand the orcres eligible for half fares
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: on buses and subways, a tenfold increase in college savings plans.
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: Now every single public school kindergartener will have a one
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: thousand dollars college savings account, up from just one hundred dollars,
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: and six million dollars for the Department of Investigation to
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: complete a long delayed probe about the release of cancerous
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: toxins at Ground Zero. But probably the biggest council victory
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: was forcing the mayor to relent on increasing the city
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: FIPS housing voucher program. Now an additional thirty thousand the
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: orcres will be able to avoid eviction. Menin said it
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: was aimed at the affordability crisis.
• 2:52
  Speaker 8: This crisis is not merely crushing the people of this city,
• 2:56
  Speaker 8: but it is oftentimes pushing them entirely out of the city.
• 3:00
  Speaker 8: So with a substantial investment to sensibly expand housing vouchers.
• 3:05
  Speaker 8: We are helping to keep thousands more families in their
• 3:08
  Speaker 8: homes and out of the shelter system.
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: But not everyone was happy with the budget bill. The
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: mayor was slammed for apparently caving to his base for
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: the last minute reversal on hiring nearly six hundred more cops,
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: and the citizens budget commissions of the mayor failed to
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: fix structural budget problems, which to leave the city with
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: big budget gaps in the future.
• 3:29
  Speaker 9: Final David's term, the Supreme Court issued opinions on three
• 3:33
  Speaker 9: high profile cases.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Two were in President Trump's favor. In one decision, the
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: justices ruled that states can ban transgender athletes from women's sports.
• 3:41
  Speaker 9: In another, the court removed limits on campaign spending. But
• 3:45
  Speaker 9: possibly the most watched decision involved the constitutional principle of
• 3:49
  Speaker 9: birthright citizenship, and this ruling, the High Court struck down
• 3:53
  Speaker 9: Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship.
• 3:56
  Speaker 10: I would use your port.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: Lauren Glassberg has more on some of the decisions and
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: reactions from both sides of the aisle.
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: She's in the newsroom with the very latest law.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Yeall listen, David, President Trump actually listened to part of
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: the oral arguments in the birthright citizenship case in April.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: That was the first time a sitting president ever attended
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: oral arguments. Ultimately, though the Supreme Court struck down his
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: executive order, the court's decision reaffirms birthright citizenship, which has
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: been part of the Constitution for one hundred and fifty
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: seven years. At Fully Square today a rally to celebrate
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: a legal victory the decision to uphold birthright citizenship for
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: all people born in the US.
• 4:35
  Speaker 11: Today's ruling commis a relief for the immigrant communities who
• 4:40
  Speaker 11: have been waiting anxiously over the past year. But he's
• 4:43
  Speaker 11: also a reaffirmation of who our values are, that all
• 4:47
  Speaker 11: of our children should be treated equally.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Today, the Supreme Court decided six 'y three, then an
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: executive order cannot change the Constitution. The Fourteenth Amendment grants
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: citizenship to anyone born in the US, despite their parents
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: are citizens. It was designed to protect newly freed slaves
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: after the Civil War. The Trump administration has argued that
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: broader interpretations have led to immigration issues today. The Department
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: of Justice said, quote, birth tourism schemes exploit our immigration
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: laws and often violate our criminal laws. The Department of
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Justice will prioritize the prosecutions of birth tourism schemes across
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: the country. While the President lost this legal battle, the
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Supreme Court has sided with him on other immigration issues.
• 5:32
  Speaker 12: The attempt to end birthright citizenship isn't an isolated attack.
• 5:38
  Speaker 12: It's part of the Trump administration's broader campaign to go
• 5:44
  Speaker 12: to war against immigrants who make this country what it is.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Meanwhile, the Supreme Court also made a significant ruling on
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: states' rights, upholding state bans on transgender athletes competing or
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: playing on girls and women's sports teams. The two states
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: in this case were West Virginia and Idaho, but this
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: decision could impact other states that have similar bands or
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: embolden other states to enact bands. Athletes that were fighting
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: the state ban said their rights to equal protection were violated.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Their attorneys spoke today calling it a narrow ruling.
• 6:17
  Speaker 13: This isn't a national mandate to ban trans athletes everywhere.
• 6:21
  Speaker 13: It's a fight that's going to continue state by state,
• 6:25
  Speaker 13: school by school. In other words, this really says that
• 6:28
  Speaker 13: sure a state may discriminate, not that they must.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Discriminate, but certainly the ruling allows states to decide for themselves. Now,
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: New York's Attorney General that Tisha James, saying that this
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: is a dangerous and harmful path for the Supreme Court
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: to take when it comes to trans people.
• 6:46
  Speaker 14: Right now, the United States at or are working to
• 6:48
  Speaker 14: get back at the negotiating table. Special Envoy Steve Wickoff
• 6:51
  Speaker 14: and Jared Kushner are leading the US delegation in Qatar,
• 6:54
  Speaker 14: with the future of the Strait of Hormones remaining a
• 6:56
  Speaker 14: key sticking point in the talks with his now former
• 6:58
  Speaker 14: Ambassador at Large and Coordinator for Counter Terrors and Nathan Sales. So,
• 7:03
  Speaker 14: the President said after the latest counter strikes against Iran
• 7:06
  Speaker 14: that Iran called up.
• 7:07
  Speaker 10: They want to have talks with us.
• 7:08
  Speaker 14: Well, everybody's over there and Iran's not talking to the
• 7:10
  Speaker 14: United States.
• 7:12
  Speaker 10: You know what is going on.
• 7:13
  Speaker 15: But the Iranians need to make up their mind. Are
• 7:15
  Speaker 15: they serious And all evidence so far has been no,
• 7:17
  Speaker 15: they're not. What they're serious about is they want to
• 7:20
  Speaker 15: control the straight and that's an absolute non starter for
• 7:23
  Speaker 15: the United States. This is an international waterway. This is
• 7:26
  Speaker 15: not a private toll road for the IRGC. So the
• 7:29
  Speaker 15: United States has been absolutely clear that the Gulf needs
• 7:33
  Speaker 15: to be opened for business. The Strait needs to return
• 7:36
  Speaker 15: to its pre war state where it's freedom of navigation.
• 7:38
  Speaker 15: That's a basic principle of American foreign policy for two
• 7:42
  Speaker 15: hundred and fifty years, freedom of navigation. The Iranians don't
• 7:45
  Speaker 15: get to hold hostages.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: So that's been the message on the part of the
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: United States throughout this process. So what needs to change
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: or give at this point in the.
• 7:53
  Speaker 15: Process, I think leverage. The key to this is coercing
• 7:56
  Speaker 15: the Iranians into behaving properly, not lashing out the way
• 8:01
  Speaker 15: they've been doing it. Right now, the Iranians think that
• 8:03
  Speaker 15: there's a little bit of opportunity for them to try
• 8:06
  Speaker 15: and drive wedges between the United States and golf allies,
• 8:09
  Speaker 15: to try and see what they can get away with
• 8:11
  Speaker 15: their testing us. That is what they're doing. They're testing
• 8:13
  Speaker 15: us like a toddler. And when your toddler tests you
• 8:16
  Speaker 15: as a parent, what do you do. You don't indulge them.
• 8:18
  Speaker 15: You show them tough love, emphasis on tough.
• 8:21
  Speaker 14: As consequences for their actions. But the IRGC doesn't seem
• 8:25
  Speaker 14: to get there. Because they take actions, they get the consequences,
• 8:28
  Speaker 14: they go running to mommy to say we want to
• 8:30
  Speaker 14: get back to the table, and then when they get
• 8:32
  Speaker 14: back to the table, they just keep doing the same
• 8:34
  Speaker 14: old stuff over and over and over again. So at
• 8:35
  Speaker 14: what point does President Trump say, you know what, this
• 8:38
  Speaker 14: ain't working today. Let's go back to the way we
• 8:40
  Speaker 14: were doing it before. Let's go make sure that everybody's okay. First,
• 8:43
  Speaker 14: make sure China's got enough oil reserves that their economy
• 8:46
  Speaker 14: doesn't take make sure that our golf allies are in
• 8:48
  Speaker 14: a pretty good position to get oil out, maybe through
• 8:51
  Speaker 14: pipelines in Saudi Arabia, and then just go after the
• 8:54
  Speaker 14: IRGC and say, you know what you're done.
• 8:57
  Speaker 15: That may be where this ends up. John, I don't
• 8:59
  Speaker 15: think we're there yet. I think the President and his
• 9:01
  Speaker 15: team are still willing to give diplomacy a chance.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: But at a certain point you have.
• 9:05
  Speaker 10: To say, to what end?
• 9:07
  Speaker 14: Because this just keeps going around to circle into notes.
• 9:09
  Speaker 15: Well, as we see along over the weekend, we want
• 9:11
  Speaker 15: to ends lashed out and took a shot at shipping
• 9:14
  Speaker 15: going through the Strait, and it was really important that
• 9:17
  Speaker 15: the United States responded in kind. We said, we established
• 9:20
  Speaker 15: a bright line. We are not going to allow you
• 9:22
  Speaker 15: to hold hostage all these ships if we had backed down,
• 9:26
  Speaker 15: the lesson the Iranians would have drawn from that was
• 9:28
  Speaker 15: we can get away with this, Let's take it one
• 9:30
  Speaker 15: step further. They know that they are going to be
• 9:33
  Speaker 15: consequences that they take it one step further, and so
• 9:35
  Speaker 15: my hope is that we continue to look for ways
• 9:38
  Speaker 15: of using leverage over these guys, because they are not
• 9:41
  Speaker 15: going to cooperate out of the goodness of their heart.
• 9:43
  Speaker 15: They're only going to cooperate if we force them to
• 9:45
  Speaker 15: do so.
• 9:56
  Speaker 16: This is New York Fan created for America's first and
• 9:59
  Speaker 16: then all sports station w FAM hard strong identification for
• 10:05
  Speaker 16: an action packed format sixty.
• 10:17

• 10:21
  Speaker 17: the first, twenty twenty that we lost him. He died.
• 10:28
  Speaker 17: And I'm not going to spend all day crying on
• 10:30
  Speaker 17: air like I've done time and time again over the years.
• 10:33
  Speaker 17: I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna go up state

  Speaker 17: to do that. That's gonna be big on Saturday night,
• 11:05
  Speaker 17: and I'll have an opportunity to see my three sisters
• 11:07
  Speaker 17: and brother in laws and talk about my dad. So
• 11:11
  Speaker 17: he did pass away six years ago today. You know
• 11:17
  Speaker 17: the time when me and John katz Matidis I were
• 11:20
  Speaker 17: a great owner here at Red Apple. The time we
• 11:24
  Speaker 17: got close was during that period. I didn't know John.
• 11:29
  Speaker 17: When John ran for mayor, for example, back in I
• 11:31
  Speaker 17: guess twenty thirteen, I was living in Boker at Tone, Florida.
• 11:35
  Speaker 17: I remember coming back to New York in twenty fifteen
• 11:39
  Speaker 17: sixteen going to a Talker's magazine conference watching John Katzmatidi
• 11:44
  Speaker 17: speak and asking Mark Chernoff, who the hell is that guy?
• 11:48
  Speaker 17: I had no idea who he was. And then when
• 11:51
  Speaker 17: Cumulus basically destroyed both of our stations, Thank god for
• 11:57
  Speaker 17: Chad Lopez, who got a big award yesterday. Can crabs Chad,
• 12:01
  Speaker 17: you deserve it. Chad's great. John and Margot came in
• 12:06
  Speaker 17: on their white horse and they saved us, and they've
• 12:11
  Speaker 17: done a great job with this station. John, Margot, Chad,
• 12:14
  Speaker 17: all of them. When my dad was dying. John Katzmatids sorry,
• 12:23
  Speaker 17: showed what a good guy he is. And when my
• 12:25
  Speaker 17: dad passed away. I remember I was living at the
• 12:28
  Speaker 17: time on the Upper West Side. I was on West
• 12:33
  Speaker 17: End Avenue between one hundred and fourth and one hundred
• 12:35
  Speaker 17: and fifth and I can walk right down the block
• 12:41
  Speaker 17: to Riverside Park, and I spent a lot of time,
• 12:44
  Speaker 17: both of us, Me and Danielle and the kids an
• 12:47
  Speaker 17: Gabriel between the parks. There are three right there, Riverside,
• 12:52
  Speaker 17: Central Park and morning Side Park, but I spent most
• 12:55
  Speaker 17: of my time in Riverside and I would walk down
• 12:59
  Speaker 17: to the water just look out there and get very
• 13:04
  Speaker 17: introspective about my dad, my career. This is even before
• 13:08
  Speaker 17: Bernard got sick. Oh, my dad passed away. I remember
• 13:12
  Speaker 17: I was standing there by the water having a really
• 13:15
  Speaker 17: hard time, and my cell phone rang and it was
• 13:19
  Speaker 17: John John Katzmatidis and he said, I'm sorry, and that
• 13:25
  Speaker 17: was it. From that day on the last six years,
• 13:28
  Speaker 17: we have now forged this great relationship. He's a great
• 13:32
  Speaker 17: guy and hopefully I'll be here for many, many many years. Hopefully,
• 13:38
  Speaker 17: but either way, whether I'm here or not, six years
• 13:43
  Speaker 17: ago today, one of the worst days in my life.
• 13:48
  Speaker 17: John Katzmatidis was there for me. So I think you're listening, John,
• 13:53
  Speaker 17: I hope you are, and if you are, thank you.
• 13:57
  Speaker 17: So I don't want to spend all day on that,
• 13:58
  Speaker 17: but we did play the WU jingle because not only
• 14:03
  Speaker 17: is today six years since my dad died, but today
• 14:07
  Speaker 17: also marks the fortieth anniversary Day one of w f
• 14:13
  Speaker 17: Bayn Radio. Now, if you love me, and millions of
• 14:16
  Speaker 17: you do get great ratings great and you love this show,
• 14:20
  Speaker 17: then you have to understand that wayn is a part
• 14:26
  Speaker 17: of me and lewis part of the reason why we're great.
• 14:30
  Speaker 17: All those years at the band, working with Imus, Mike
• 14:34
  Speaker 17: and the Mad Dog, Steve Summers, Joe Berningo, Jordi McDonald.
• 14:39
  Speaker 17: The list goes on and on, Mark Turnoff, Eric Spitz,
• 14:44
  Speaker 17: all those guys. I had the chance yesterday to watch
• 14:47
  Speaker 17: Kelly Turner speak. She's great young lady who now runs
• 14:51
  Speaker 17: all the Odyssey Networks eight stations here in New York.
• 14:54
  Speaker 17: And when I watched her, I sat next to my
• 14:57
  Speaker 17: good buddy Chris Alavero, who right now runs all those
• 15:02
  Speaker 17: eight stations, and as run all those stations for quite
• 15:06
  Speaker 17: some time, even when it was CBS before it was
• 15:09
  Speaker 17: entercom let alone odyssey. So the fans started forty years
• 15:14
  Speaker 17: ago today and when I'm inducted into the Hall of
• 15:18
  Speaker 17: Fame coming up in October. Even though if you followed
• 15:22
  Speaker 17: my career, there's no question the trajectory went straight up
• 15:28
  Speaker 17: coming here to WABC. The last ten years here at WABC,
• 15:32
  Speaker 17: It's why I'm in the Hall of Fame. Certainly those
• 15:36
  Speaker 17: five years at WPA in five years every day, but
• 15:40
  Speaker 17: filling in and trying to get back for eighteen years
• 15:45
  Speaker 17: played a major role in my radio career. And I'm
• 15:48
  Speaker 17: still a sports guy throw and through. I do do news.
• 15:52
  Speaker 17: I enjoy it. I love the political conversations I do.
• 15:56
  Speaker 17: But I love my sports. Whether I'm angry, happy, I
• 16:00
  Speaker 17: love my sports. And so do you. Lou So Lewis,
• 16:05
  Speaker 17: believe it or not, was actually there at wp A
• 16:08
  Speaker 17: ND when they pulled the switch. Now, it didn't start
• 16:12
  Speaker 17: off at six sixty way N. It started off as
• 16:15
  Speaker 17: ten fifty w h N. I believe the very first
• 16:20
  Speaker 17: voice you heard on that station doing a sports update
• 16:24
  Speaker 17: was the current analyst for the New York Yankees, the
• 16:28
  Speaker 17: great Susan Waltman, and the very first sports show that
• 16:32
  Speaker 17: followed if the Woltman did her update was a friend
• 16:37
  Speaker 17: of mine for a very very long time, the great
• 16:39
  Speaker 17: Jim Lampley. But you were there day one.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Lewis was right there.
• 16:43
  Speaker 17: What was it like?
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: It was crowded. What do you mean by crowded, Well,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: there was a lot of people. To Susan's credit, there
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: was a lot of people around the studio. It was
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: a big deal.
• 16:55
  Speaker 17: It was day one. Was at the studio in Astoria,
• 16:58
  Speaker 17: Queen's countman astorias Udeo.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: It was in the basement, so it.

  Speaker 17: Was like Jeff smolling in and all these people standing
• 17:04
  Speaker 17: around her when she started.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: I believe Jeff was there. Yeah, mister Smolline, I think
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: he was there. They had two program directors, one for
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: the weekend, one for the during the week.
• 17:14
  Speaker 17: Who was the weekday guy?
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: It was a gentleman, John Pruter.
• 17:18
  Speaker 17: John Pruter, and he hired me.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: I remember that took three minutes.
• 17:23
  Speaker 17: Where did you come from?
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: I was working there already.
• 17:26
  Speaker 17: You were already there. I was at hn which was
• 17:28
  Speaker 17: a country music station, right.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Yes, so I was working weekends and then running met
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: games too.
• 17:34
  Speaker 17: Running met games. So he was quis at that point
• 17:37
  Speaker 17: there or no Chris Oh come on, the great engineer
• 17:41
  Speaker 17: does all the met games from Shay Stadium? Come on?
• 17:44
  Speaker 17: Oh oh oh, Magic Madakowski.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: I don't. I actually don't think he was.
• 17:48
  Speaker 17: He wasn't there yet, Okay, I don't think so, Okay.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Because yeah, I actually think he came on like a
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: little while after that, and I went to school with him.
• 17:57
  Speaker 17: Oh you did four fortum four.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: He's great.
• 18:01
  Speaker 17: Yes, So with these people, like I know Susan was
• 18:03
  Speaker 17: in studio, but was Jim Lampley in Queens and Greg
• 18:07
  Speaker 17: Gumble and all these people?
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Yes, And then Lampley started doing it from out in
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: La right, and he would do that on a regular
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: daily base, so he ended up being mid days.
• 18:18
  Speaker 17: So it was the morning show, Greg Gumble, Greg Gumble,
• 18:21
  Speaker 17: and then Greg the year after in nineteen eighty eight
• 18:24
  Speaker 17: gave way to a guy who may have heard of
• 18:26
  Speaker 17: don Imus right then.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and he was actually left he was left out
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Greg Het.
• 18:34
  Speaker 17: Greg was doing so in eighty eight when I miss
• 18:37
  Speaker 17: replaces Greg Gumble? Is it I miss in the morning?
• 18:40
  Speaker 17: And the man who used the word scumbag more than
• 18:42
  Speaker 17: me out of the great City of San Francisco, was
• 18:45
  Speaker 17: it Pete Franklin In the afternoons. Yes, Pete was great. Yes,
• 18:49
  Speaker 17: so that time right is a scumbag you love to
• 18:51
  Speaker 17: say that.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he was very ornery, very cranky. But he couldn't
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: start when Fan started because I think he had the
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: health issue at the beginning. I think he had a
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: heart heart thing going on. So Lampley stepped in and
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: did the afternoons.
• 19:07
  Speaker 17: Paul Lampey was a big, big dealer early on.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Huh he was good and that. Yeah, I worked with
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: him a lot. He was such a nice, a great guy,
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: really nice.
• 19:13
  Speaker 17: I've got long history. In fact, you'll hear from Scott Kaplan,
• 19:16
  Speaker 17: my first ever radio partner, coming up at eight thirty.
• 19:19
  Speaker 17: He's in Los Angeles these days in San Diego, and
• 19:22
  Speaker 17: Scott and I worked a lot with Jim Lampley on
• 19:25
  Speaker 17: boxing believe it or not, when Lampley did all the
• 19:28
  Speaker 17: bits with George Foreman and Larry Merchant and Max Kellerman,
• 19:32
  Speaker 17: all those guys on HBO. So Lampley owned a restaurant
• 19:37
  Speaker 17: out in San Diego, him and Junior Seal. We did
• 19:40
  Speaker 17: shows from his restaurant in San Diego. He has a
• 19:44
  Speaker 17: vacation home in Park City, Utah, which for a long
• 19:48
  Speaker 17: time was the only city in Utah where you can drink,
• 19:52
  Speaker 17: have sex without going to jail because Utah is a
• 19:56
  Speaker 17: Mormon state, and Lampley invited us out. There are a million
• 19:58
  Speaker 17: times I think Scott actually he went. So we'll talk
• 20:01
  Speaker 17: more about Jim Lampey coming up later on this morning.
• 20:04
  Speaker 17: Who else was there?
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: They one, well, a lot, you know, a lot of
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: guys who had just who had all been hired, people
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: like maybe Summers was there. Ed Coleman was there, Steve
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: was there?
• 20:15
  Speaker 17: Ed was there? Yes, a lot of producers. Was Ed
• 20:18
  Speaker 17: Coleman there with Dave Simms?
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: I don't think not Dave.
• 20:21
  Speaker 17: I don't think Dave, not right away yet, but very
• 20:23
  Speaker 17: early on they had the Coleman and the soul Man
• 20:26
  Speaker 17: the midday show. Simms is now the voice of the
• 20:29
  Speaker 17: New York Yankees.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Yes, there's a lot. There was a lot of personalities there,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: and that we had had three meetings I think before
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: in the cafeteria where they had everybody there to talk
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: about what was going to go on.
• 20:41
  Speaker 17: And the truth is when it started, it was right
• 20:45
  Speaker 17: after the Mets won the World Series. That's why they
• 20:47
  Speaker 17: did it. The Mets. In fact, I believe that Anne
• 20:52
  Speaker 17: Lengry I love Anne Longry. She does a lot of tennis,
• 20:55
  Speaker 17: and god, I think she's still there. I don't know.
• 20:57
  Speaker 17: She did a show and she had Dwight Gooden, which
• 21:00
  Speaker 17: back then was a big deal because the Mets have
• 21:02
  Speaker 17: just won the World Series. So the Met World Series
• 21:05
  Speaker 17: win was really the motivation behind starting at baym But
• 21:09
  Speaker 17: early on they were getting killed. They were losing tons
• 21:13
  Speaker 17: and tons of money.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: It didn't They hired a lot of people from out
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: of town and they save them a lot, and they
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: were flying them in and out.
• 21:20
  Speaker 17: Actually it was costing him a lot of money.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: Money.
• 21:22
  Speaker 17: So when you look at the history of the fan
• 21:25
  Speaker 17: and Mike and the mad Dog played a huge role
• 21:27
  Speaker 17: in the success they came later. That was a Mark
• 21:30
  Speaker 17: Mason find. It really all comes back to one guy,
• 21:34
  Speaker 17: don Imus, if not Riamus, who didn't do sports outside
• 21:38
  Speaker 17: of me, Mike Breen, Patrick McEnroe, Iron Eagle, Mike and
• 21:41
  Speaker 17: Chris if not Barimus that b now Mayhn forty years later.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Well, he definitely got it going. That's why all that.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: He brought the listeners and then they started, you know,
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: hearing what the fan was all about, and it caught
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: on from there. I believe it to this day. I
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: mean without him, it probably would have fizzled, it would,
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: I think, because there was not the other markets were
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: not doing all sports radio. This was where it was
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: starting started. And boy were those guys in culture shock
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: when they came over from from.
• 22:14
  Speaker 17: The I mean McCord and Rob Bartlett. Yeah, yeah, that.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Bernard came over with a pad and a thing, and
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: I met him and they were just looking at the basement, gang,
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: what what the hell are we doing?
• 22:26
  Speaker 17: Well? They came from these posh Rockefeller Center studios to
• 22:30
  Speaker 17: a place which all we heard about for years was
• 22:33
  Speaker 17: for collecting mold downstairs, right next to the Lifetime channel.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: I don't think they ever fixed it from They never
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: did it now. Moved things around and cleaned it, but
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: it remained what it was. It was like, you know,
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: the Sanford and Son Studio of.
• 22:50
  Speaker 17: Radio, you know. But no, it's a great place where
• 22:54
  Speaker 17: it is now and I've done shows, many shows from
• 22:57
  Speaker 17: where w Man is now Hudson. It's an office building.
• 23:02
  Speaker 17: You walk in, it doesn't feel like a radio station.
• 23:05
  Speaker 17: It feels like you're going to work.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: It feels like you're going into the doctors off.
• 23:08
  Speaker 17: Yeah. Basically, yeah, you.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Sit in the waiting room and wait and there's like
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: eighty doctors.
• 23:12
  Speaker 17: There was something charming about that dilapidated old Queens studio,
• 23:16
  Speaker 17: which I mean she used to complain about every day.
• 23:19
  Speaker 17: And now listening to Kelly Turner speak yesterday. Odyssey, for example,
• 23:24
  Speaker 17: has an FM sports station New I guess in Los Angeles.
• 23:29
  Speaker 17: That's the fourth sports station in LA. I was in
• 23:33
  Speaker 17: Miami all those years, all those years they have four.
• 23:37
  Speaker 17: In fact I worked at all four. I got fired
• 23:40
  Speaker 17: every couple of years. So today we celebrate forty years
• 23:44
  Speaker 17: of wa N which almost wouldn't have happened if not
• 23:48
  Speaker 17: with the great Dynamis. And now today in all these
• 23:52
  Speaker 17: major cities across America, some of them have upwards of
• 23:55
  Speaker 17: four sports stations. So when you look at the few
• 24:00
  Speaker 17: of radio, I'm not talking about podcasting. And we can
• 24:03
  Speaker 17: talk about music it's still out there. We can talk
• 24:05
  Speaker 17: about news talk. The one genre that still I believe
• 24:11
  Speaker 17: rules today is sports. It still is. People will listen
• 24:17
  Speaker 17: no matter what the world could be bailing apart, Iron
• 24:21
  Speaker 17: can bomb us tomorrow, and yet people will call the
• 24:24
  Speaker 17: band and complain about the Mets. Do you think I'm kidding?
• 24:28
  Speaker 17: Todd from New Windsor will call the band and go, ah,
• 24:31
  Speaker 17: come on, come on, get one Soto out of here.
• 24:35
  Speaker 17: We just got nuked by the Iranians. But one Soto's
• 24:38
  Speaker 17: killing us. Do you think I'm kidding? These people love it.
• 24:44
  Speaker 17: I had all those chronic callers, had Jerome from Manhattan.
• 24:47
  Speaker 17: He once said to me and Jody McDonald, the Yanks
• 24:50
  Speaker 17: had done d oh e and done, well, close doe
• 24:55
  Speaker 17: and done. We had Vow from Brooklyn. We had Joe
• 24:59
  Speaker 17: from Staten Eye. We had Doris got rest her soul
• 25:02
  Speaker 17: from Rego Park. We had them all. These people can't
• 25:06
  Speaker 17: get enough.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: What were they doing before the station started masturbating?
• 25:10
  Speaker 17: What do you think they were doing? I just learned
• 25:14
  Speaker 17: to make sure I got right because saving lives.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Because no, when you walked in, now you think you're
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: a sports fan, right, you think you were a sporting
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: You think you know stuff going.
• 25:24
  Speaker 17: On right up till you work at this stage.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Now you walk into this freak show and they are
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: doing exactly what Sid is talking about. They are mulling
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: over who is third, who is seventh the lineup, and
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: you just are innundated with minutia and Manusias.
• 25:41
  Speaker 17: Listen, we used to take calls Slooney the backup second basement,
• 25:45
  Speaker 17: the backup second basement for the Mets. What are they
• 25:48
  Speaker 17: doing in spring training? Who even thinks about this? Now,
• 25:52
  Speaker 17: I we'll tell you this. I worked in Miami, four
• 25:55
  Speaker 17: different sports nations, not even close to the same. They're
• 25:59
  Speaker 17: very when it comes to sports. So when the Heat,
• 26:02
  Speaker 17: for example, picked up Shaquille O'Neal with Dwayne Wade, they
• 26:05
  Speaker 17: won a championship under pat Riley, they loved it. Then
• 26:09
  Speaker 17: they got Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, they loved it. Right.
• 26:13
  Speaker 17: The Doppins really haven't been good since Dan Marino. You know,
• 26:17
  Speaker 17: the Panthers won two of the last three Stanley Cups.
• 26:20
  Speaker 17: But hockey is relatively new in South Flaida. And I
• 26:22
  Speaker 17: got Vinie Viola. So the fans down there, they're not
• 26:26
  Speaker 17: really good. And the folks that moved there that live
• 26:30
  Speaker 17: in Florida now from Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, New York, they
• 26:34
  Speaker 17: still listen on their phones to their city's sports stations.
• 26:39
  Speaker 17: They're not calling five sixty w q IM in Miami
• 26:43
  Speaker 17: or seven to ninety the Ticket to talk about the
• 26:46
  Speaker 17: Miami Marlins. So a place like that, it's not the same.
• 26:50
  Speaker 17: But in New York, in Boston, in Chicago, in Philadelphia,
• 26:55
  Speaker 17: these people are retarded.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Deranged, but it works. It worked. It was, but just
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: things that people don't know and forget about the what's
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: on the air, off the air, in the newsroom.
• 27:09
  Speaker 17: It was, Oh, the fight's there too, it was.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: It was just crazy.
• 27:12
  Speaker 17: I've got a million fights, crazy Russo, Beningo, Francessa.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: It was NonStop.
• 27:18
  Speaker 17: There was nuts all the time. Yeah, it was.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: It was excellent.
• 27:22
  Speaker 17: Oh, it was fun. We had you and I had
• 27:25
  Speaker 17: a great time together. Of course they were drunk a lot.
• 27:28
  Speaker 17: I you know, it feels like a different lifetime ago,
• 27:30
  Speaker 17: Lewis I gotta tell you.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well look at you now.
• 27:33
  Speaker 17: I know I'm a Hall of Famer. You believe that?
• 27:35
  Speaker 18: Known, I believe it.
• 27:37
  Speaker 17: Yeah, well you you be against it, didn't you?
• 27:39
  Speaker 18: I did?
• 27:39
  Speaker 17: Yeah, you're on Coucion going no way. Somebody please call
• 27:43
  Speaker 17: George Santos. What do you think George is said? Gonna
• 27:45
  Speaker 17: make it? I don't think so. Forty years w f
• 27:49
  Speaker 17: Ana and again not to promote another station. John's going,
• 27:52
  Speaker 17: what is it doing? It's part of my history, it is,
• 27:55
  Speaker 17: and it's it's still a great station. I love Chris Olivero,
• 28:00
  Speaker 17: I love Craig Carton, I like Evan Roberts, I like
• 28:02
  Speaker 17: Ticky Barber, I even like Boomer. So Boomer and Jill
• 28:06
  Speaker 17: are going to speak today with Craig at Barrett. The
• 28:09
  Speaker 17: three of them are their own panel together. Today's the
• 28:11

• 28:18
  Speaker 17: to say, is doing a tremendous job the Worldwide News Network.

  Speaker 17: Everybody at that conference yesterday was talking about that. So
• 28:25
  Speaker 17: congratulations Lee, You're doing a great job. Willy and my
• 28:28
  Speaker 17: panel was me Larry O'Connor. For some reason, Noam hates
• 28:33
  Speaker 17: Mark Simon.
• 28:34
  Speaker 18: I didn't say I worked with him for a short period.
• 28:36
  Speaker 18: I'm nice guy.
• 28:37
  Speaker 17: You didn't say that this morning.
• 28:39
  Speaker 18: That's not true.
• 28:41
  Speaker 17: I wasn't supposed to say that.
• 28:44
  Speaker 19: You weren't supposed to say anything I say off there
• 28:46
  Speaker 19: to you.
• 28:47
  Speaker 17: Now it's me Larry O'Connor, Mark Simone. We love Mark
• 28:51
  Speaker 17: and Eric Erickson. And the name of the panel was
• 28:57
  Speaker 17: playing the Trump card and how news talk turns into
• 29:01
  Speaker 17: basically hours and hours of Trump talk, which I don't do.
• 29:05
  Speaker 17: In fact, what's funny is President Trump, who you know,
• 29:09
  Speaker 17: is a friend of mine. I'm a friend of his.
• 29:11
  Speaker 17: I think I think he's mad at me. I really do,
• 29:13
  Speaker 17: I swear I do. But lately when I talk about Trump,
• 29:17
  Speaker 17: what I do is criticize him. That's it. I can't
• 29:20
  Speaker 17: stand the way he talks about Boebe. I can't stand
• 29:23
  Speaker 17: the way he talks about Mom. Donnie. I don't care
• 29:25
  Speaker 17: who you are. If you say we are winning, or
• 29:28
  Speaker 17: if we won the Iran War, you're wrong, one hundred
• 29:31
  Speaker 17: percent wrong. Sorry, John, You're wrong. You don't win anything.
• 29:34
  Speaker 17: It's a mess, it's an absolute mess. So I spend
• 29:38
  Speaker 17: my time lately criticizing President Trump. You notice that, right, No,
• 29:43
  Speaker 17: lately a lot. Yeah, yeah, doesn't mean I don't love him,
• 29:46
  Speaker 17: doesn't mean he's not the best ever. But as I
• 29:49
  Speaker 17: often say, I can't look at a pile that's brown
• 29:52
  Speaker 17: and say it's chocolate when the truth is it's duty.
• 29:55
  Speaker 17: And this nonsense of sending over Steve Witkoff, who's litely lost.
• 30:01
  Speaker 17: All right, you can make money in real estate. He's
• 30:03
  Speaker 17: a genius. He has no right sitting in with world leaders.
• 30:06
  Speaker 17: And I like his kid. His kid, Alex is on
• 30:09
  Speaker 17: the Holocaust Council.
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: With me.
• 30:11
  Speaker 17: I don't know. Steve Boddle knows. Steve. He's in over
• 30:15
  Speaker 17: his head. Him and Kushner sit there, they get nothing done.
• 30:20
  Speaker 17: And j D Vance, who I believe didn't want this
• 30:24
  Speaker 17: in the first place anyway, No, that for a fact,
• 30:26
  Speaker 17: And I believe it's also an antisemite. I really believe that.
• 30:30
  Speaker 17: You know, he ain't getting anything done. So we have
• 30:33
  Speaker 17: these stupid meetings. They don't even meet half the time,
• 30:36
  Speaker 17: and when they do, they get nothing done. You are
• 30:39
  Speaker 17: not going to do a deal with Iran President Trump.
• 30:43
  Speaker 17: I'm begging you for the millioned time. Stop it, stop it.
• 30:49
  Speaker 17: We've won nothing. I don't care about the Dow Jones.
• 30:53
  Speaker 17: The only way we win this is if you go
• 30:54
  Speaker 17: back in there with a whole bunch of boors and
• 30:57
  Speaker 17: start killing these IRGC guys that are still there and
• 31:02
  Speaker 17: still running the show and making life difficult for people
• 31:05
  Speaker 17: in the Middle East and in America. That's how you
• 31:08
  Speaker 17: win this war. Okay, the strait was open before we
• 31:11
  Speaker 17: started the war. There was no naval blockade before we
• 31:14
  Speaker 17: started the war. You want to win the war, blow
• 31:17
  Speaker 17: these mother efforts up. It's not that hard. And we
• 31:21
  Speaker 17: come close, and Trump says we're gonna do it, and
• 31:25
  Speaker 17: he doesn't know it. They're a nice guy. I don't
• 31:27
  Speaker 17: want to kill anybody. Great, then don't start the war.
• 31:30
  Speaker 17: Don't start the war if you're not going to finish it.
• 31:33
  Speaker 17: We've won nothing, zero, nothing, And we are really rolling
• 31:40
  Speaker 17: the dice on these midterms because again yesterday, whether it's
• 31:44
  Speaker 17: Colorado or now, nine different people in New York, these lunatics,
• 31:51
  Speaker 17: these progressives, these radicals are winning all over the country
• 31:56
  Speaker 17: while President Trump continues to call mom Down a smart,
• 32:01
  Speaker 17: handsome and good guy. Am I wrong though?
• 32:05
  Speaker 10: No?
• 32:05
  Speaker 19: I mean, last night, you have this congresswoman in Colorado,
• 32:08
  Speaker 19: Diana de jet who's been in Congress for fourteen terms.
• 32:11
  Speaker 19: Imagine taking down somebody fourteen terms. Usually you get a
• 32:14
  Speaker 19: job like that, you haven't locked up for life. She
• 32:16
  Speaker 19: got smoked, she did by this Democratic socialist Alot kiros One.
• 32:21
  Speaker 18: Pretty easily cute.
• 32:22
  Speaker 17: Girl, looks like a little bit like whatever her name is.
• 32:25
  Speaker 18: She's cute like in the AOC, right, but she's a psycho.
• 32:29
  Speaker 17: She hates Israel. I mean, that's look, let's be honest, Okay,
• 32:33
  Speaker 17: you want a really good platform, you want to win,
• 32:36
  Speaker 17: just hate Israel. That's where we are in this country.
• 32:39
  Speaker 17: It's so disgusting, and that's why you get angry at
• 32:42
  Speaker 17: Trump and JD. Vans. You want to win in this country.
• 32:45
  Speaker 17: Anywhere Denver you went. Hassan Piker. Hassan Piker was out
• 32:51
  Speaker 17: in Denver yesterday literally campaigning for this lady and others.
• 32:57
  Speaker 17: You know what he said. He said, get ready, folks,
• 33:00
  Speaker 17: we've got progressive Democrats coming to a city near you.
• 33:05
  Speaker 17: And he's right. Hassan Piker, the guy who sat there
• 33:09
  Speaker 17: with Mamdani and said on his podcast America deserved nine
• 33:13
  Speaker 17: to eleven. That guy that mother effort is in Denver
• 33:17
  Speaker 17: and his people are winning. They are winning, and he
• 33:20
  Speaker 17: hates Israel and he hates the Jews. But I'm a
• 33:23
  Speaker 17: bad guy because I stand up with that. It has
• 33:27
  Speaker 17: become crazy. Gnome, What are we gonna do about this?
• 33:30
  Speaker 18: No, I don't know that there's much you can do.
• 33:32
  Speaker 19: Even in the governor's race yesterday there was an upstate
• 33:34
  Speaker 19: in Colorado. You had the Attorney General Phil Wiser, who
• 33:38
  Speaker 19: has gone hard to the left. He beat Senator Michael
• 33:42
  Speaker 19: Bennett in the primary last night, so now he's he'll
• 33:45
  Speaker 19: likely win the governor's race in Colorados. Things have gone
• 33:48
  Speaker 19: blue there for a long time now.
• 33:49
  Speaker 17: See it is real too.
• 33:51
  Speaker 18: Don't know about that?
• 33:52
  Speaker 17: Probably does right? What else? Yeah?
• 33:55
  Speaker 20: For me?
• 33:56
  Speaker 17: What else happened yesterday? But this budget well thought? The
• 33:58
  Speaker 17: Frank Murano coming up pinos everything.
• 34:00
  Speaker 18: Yeah, he can give you the details.
• 34:01
  Speaker 17: I know he actually called me yesterday and I'm not
• 34:04
  Speaker 17: going to share the details unless he wants to. Because
• 34:07
  Speaker 17: he needed a very important question answered before he voted,
• 34:13
  Speaker 17: and he knows that the answer he needed only one
• 34:17
  Speaker 17: person had it, and he knows or he knew I
• 34:21
  Speaker 17: should say that I was the one person who can
• 34:25
  Speaker 17: find out if in fact it was true. So between
• 34:28
  Speaker 17: you and I know him and now millions listening. I
• 34:30
  Speaker 17: made the call and I got brank his answer.
• 34:33
  Speaker 18: Can you give us a little more detail about.
• 34:35
  Speaker 17: What I want to do that he's joining us at
• 34:37
  Speaker 17: about ten minutes.
• 34:38
  Speaker 18: So he asked you for a favor and you got
• 34:40
  Speaker 18: it done. Is that what you're saying?
• 34:41
  Speaker 21: One?
• 34:43
  Speaker 17: But you need it to have some type of political
• 34:47
  Speaker 17: power to get the answer for him, and I've got it. Well,
• 34:51
  Speaker 17: we'll see if he brings it up.
• 34:52
  Speaker 18: Okay, huh, okay, when's he coming on?
• 34:54
  Speaker 17: He'll be on at about thirteen minutes. Okay, so the
• 34:57
  Speaker 17: budget one hundred and twenty six billion of HOCAL bailed
• 35:01
  Speaker 17: out Mom Donnie the last time. Right. So now he's
• 35:05
  Speaker 17: up there with Julie Mennin and everybody seemed very happy.
• 35:08
  Speaker 17: Now the cops are pissed, John Shell. I spoke to
• 35:11
  Speaker 17: him this morning. He's pissed. Vinnie Valalog who was elected again,
• 35:16
  Speaker 17: Congratulations Vince as the SBA president. Great guy, great cop.
• 35:20
  Speaker 17: He's pissed because in this budget they were supposed to
• 35:26
  Speaker 17: add about five hundred and eighty new cops. Mam Donnie
• 35:30
  Speaker 17: took it off the table at the very last minute.
• 35:32
  Speaker 17: This was part of the discussion from Marno. Wanted me
• 35:36
  Speaker 17: to get involved, and I have the answer why. But
• 35:40
  Speaker 17: I can tell you this that the cops and the
• 35:43
  Speaker 17: firefighters are very angry in this city, very angry, even
• 35:48
  Speaker 17: though it looks like a lot of folks are very
• 35:52
  Speaker 17: happy with this budget.
• 35:54
  Speaker 19: But do you know, well, that's the same thing I'm hearing.
• 35:58
  Speaker 19: But there's lots of people happy. You know, he's he
• 36:00
  Speaker 19: put away some money for rainy Day Fund. People think
• 36:03
  Speaker 19: that's a good idea and the way same way Michael
• 36:05
  Speaker 19: Bloomberg did. And he's funding these fair, fair things where
• 36:10
  Speaker 19: if you make less than thirty thousand dollars a year,
• 36:13
  Speaker 19: you'll only pay half price to ride a bus or subway.
• 36:15
  Speaker 19: He's going to continue that, and no doubt, you know,
• 36:18
  Speaker 19: Frank will fill in a lot more details. But those
• 36:20
  Speaker 19: are some of the big moments from yesterday's budget signing.
• 36:23
  Speaker 17: What else is going on here? You know, we had
• 36:25
  Speaker 17: this small somebody got thrown in front of a train
• 36:26
  Speaker 17: or something.
• 36:27
  Speaker 19: No, but you know, we had this mystery that was
• 36:30
  Speaker 19: going on in DC with a new Jersey Congressman, Tom
• 36:32
  Speaker 19: Kaine Junior. He's been missing since March fifth. Well he's depressed, yeah,
• 36:37
  Speaker 19: so so yeah, well, his depression was much deeper.
• 36:41
  Speaker 18: He ended up in a hospital.
• 36:43
  Speaker 19: He thought he'd be in the hospital for a couple
• 36:45
  Speaker 19: of weeks, but he took to the house floor yesterday
• 36:47
  Speaker 19: to say no. The doctors told him he needed to
• 36:49
  Speaker 19: stay a whole lot longer. And so we don't know
• 36:52
  Speaker 19: a whole lot more than that. But it comes at
• 36:54
  Speaker 19: an interesting time. He's in a very hotly contested race
• 36:57
  Speaker 19: in his district there Democrat and running against him.
• 36:59
  Speaker 18: It's act that has swung to red to blue to
• 37:02
  Speaker 18: red the district believe yeeah, yeah.
• 37:04
  Speaker 17: So what was the other Democrats of popular.
• 37:07
  Speaker 18: It's she's a former navy pilot and her name is
• 37:09
  Speaker 18: going to escape me.
• 37:10
  Speaker 19: But but so this is the big question is what
• 37:13
  Speaker 19: do voters think? And they they were asking yesterday people
• 37:16
  Speaker 19: in that district say, hey, you know he kept this
• 37:18
  Speaker 19: from you for three or four months. Did he have
• 37:20
  Speaker 19: the right to do so? And you had some people
• 37:22
  Speaker 19: said yeah, you know, and then others said no, no, no.
• 37:24
  Speaker 19: If you're representing me in Congress and you're suffering from
• 37:27
  Speaker 19: depression and hospitalized, I should know that as your constituent,
• 37:30
  Speaker 19: as you're missing votes, important votes in Congress. So we'll
• 37:33
  Speaker 19: see how that plays out in the November election, whether
• 37:35
  Speaker 19: that hurts him or not. And then you wanted your
• 37:37
  Speaker 19: grizzly story. Well, here's a grizzly story of the morning,
• 37:40
  Speaker 19: This one out of Queen's in Glendale. At an elementary
• 37:43
  Speaker 19: school yesterday, there was a custodian who came into the building.
• 37:48
  Speaker 19: There's no students anymore, school ended for the year. Fells
• 37:51
  Speaker 19: smells a foul stench in the air. He figures its rats,
• 37:54
  Speaker 19: so he calls in an exterminator. Exterminator goes over to
• 37:58
  Speaker 19: the school's chimney where the sten just coming from. He
• 38:00
  Speaker 19: reaches in and he finds that his hand is on
• 38:04
  Speaker 19: a foot and a leg. There's a bot inside the
• 38:08
  Speaker 19: chimney of the school one thirteen in Glendale. Now they
• 38:12
  Speaker 19: don't know it's body parts, may not even be the
• 38:14
  Speaker 19: entire body that was in there. So now they're trying
• 38:16
  Speaker 19: to figure out how it got there and how long
• 38:18
  Speaker 19: it was how long it was there.
• 38:19
  Speaker 18: That'll be up to the medical examiner to figure out.
• 38:22
  Speaker 17: Geez. Yeah, where on the top five today is Lebron
• 38:26
  Speaker 17: James is moving on from the Lakers.
• 38:28
  Speaker 19: Yeah, well, of course that's all the talk will be
• 38:30
  Speaker 19: Golden State. That's the number one betting is that he'll
• 38:34
  Speaker 19: go to Golden State, that'll want to play there for
• 38:35
  Speaker 19: a championship, and maybe I'll go back to Cleveland or
• 38:38
  Speaker 19: Miami where he was a successful Danielle said.
• 38:42
  Speaker 17: Miami it made sense because they got Giannis, right, the
• 38:46
  Speaker 17: big star of the NBA. Giannis, he went to the
• 38:48
  Speaker 17: Heat and they've got Bam and he won two championships there.
• 38:52
  Speaker 17: Pat Wiley loves him. No state tax down in Florida,
• 38:56
  Speaker 17: So I know Golden State is the odds on Babe
• 38:58
  Speaker 17: in Cleveland, of course he's always going home. He's from Akron,
• 39:02
  Speaker 17: but to me, Miami would be the best spot. Well,
• 39:05
  Speaker 17: we'll see, and tonight we've got soccer.
• 39:07
  Speaker 19: Right, Yeah, the US plays Bosnia and this is the
• 39:11
  Speaker 19: knockout round. So I don't know if you've watched any
• 39:13
  Speaker 19: of the matches, but they don't really excited.
• 39:15
  Speaker 10: They haven't.
• 39:15
  Speaker 17: Yeah, you know, Sofia Perez, who works here, she's into
• 39:19
  Speaker 17: it with Ecuador. He's actually really into it. So I
• 39:22
  Speaker 17: went to this diner around the corner I go almost
• 39:24
  Speaker 17: every day. I love it there. What's it called the
• 39:26
  Speaker 17: New York It's not called the Diner, but it's on
• 39:32
  Speaker 17: fiftieth Street between Lex and Third. It's very good. And
• 39:36
  Speaker 17: they were all dressed in their uniforms, all the people
• 39:39
  Speaker 17: who work there. So the girl that works behind the counter,
• 39:43
  Speaker 17: she's also like Sofia from Ecuador, so she was wearing
• 39:46
  Speaker 17: that yellow jersey. Sometimes I can't tell the difference between
• 39:49
  Speaker 17: Ecuador and Colombia. There was another girl, a waitress, who
• 39:52
  Speaker 17: was wearing Columbia, but one of the waiters, he was
• 39:55
  Speaker 17: wearing the green jersey for Meico, And it turned out
• 39:59
  Speaker 17: I guess to go beat Ecuador. Last night, two to one,
• 40:02
  Speaker 17: I think too, Zip to zip nil. So yeah, these
• 40:06
  Speaker 17: games have been pretty cool. So we win tonight, we
• 40:09
  Speaker 17: move on and if we lose, we go home. That's right.
• 40:12
  Speaker 17: Do we know we're playing next that we win? We may?
• 40:15
  Speaker 18: I don't know though.
• 40:16
  Speaker 17: Yeah, New York Lunch at New York Luncheonet, Thank you, Lewis.
• 40:19
  Speaker 17: At least have my picture up there for many many
• 40:21

• 40:48
  Speaker 17: the diner. What are you doing here? Why is your
• 40:51
  Speaker 17: picture up at the diner? And the truth is it

• 40:56
  Speaker 17: and it was a very heavy picture and I want
• 40:59
  Speaker 17: to eat something for and I told the owner, I

  Speaker 17: he said, no problem. So I came back the next
• 41:14
  Speaker 17: day to pick it up and it was hung on
• 41:16
  Speaker 17: the wall and I said, you know what, it looks
• 41:18
  Speaker 17: good right there. But I think they took it down
• 41:21
  Speaker 17: because they painted. But I don't know where it is now.

  Speaker 22: which is I said, Okay, that's not a bad thing,
• 42:35
  Speaker 22: that's a good thing. And I said, you definitely deserved

  Speaker 20: and I have to agree with that, but you were
• 43:11
  Speaker 20: able to come back from all of that horrible stuff.

• 43:39
  Speaker 17: You know I'm not going to beat any one of
• 43:40
  Speaker 17: these big events for July fourth. I'm not going to Washington,
• 43:44
  Speaker 17: d C. I'm not going to be here. When I
• 43:46
  Speaker 17: was a kid, the most exciting thing for me. No,
• 43:50
  Speaker 17: you'll appreciate this. You're probably not to At some point,
• 43:53
  Speaker 17: I would go to Month to Cello Raceway, Month to
• 43:57
  Speaker 17: Sello Raceway, Exit one, O four up the quick Way,
• 44:01
  Speaker 17: and it's probably the worst track in America. In fact,
• 44:04
  Speaker 17: I went there one time. I hit a triple. I
• 44:07
  Speaker 17: hit a triple. It paid eleven dollars. Every horse in
• 44:11
  Speaker 17: the race was two to three. Just a horrible track.
• 44:14
  Speaker 17: But now they made it like into a rasino years
• 44:16
  Speaker 17: and years and years ago. But they had this amazing
• 44:21
  Speaker 17: fireworks display. And I've been going Upstate New York my
• 44:25
  Speaker 17: whole life. And We've got a place in Coneango, White Lake,
• 44:29
  Speaker 17: New York and can't wait to go this weekend, see
• 44:31
  Speaker 17: my mom. So that was always my thing. I would
• 44:34
  Speaker 17: go to camp Upstate New York, Camp Windstand and go
• 44:37
  Speaker 17: to these Bungalow, Colonies, sgs, Cappies, play ball at Landsman's,
• 44:43
  Speaker 17: you know all these names. And we'd go to Monticello.
• 44:46
  Speaker 17: That was my big Joli bull show because let me
• 44:49
  Speaker 17: say this to you, Jewish people never light fireworks. Never never.
• 44:54
  Speaker 17: It's always a tough guy. Italians. We had one guy,
• 44:57
  Speaker 17: Uncle Ronnie in my community. He came up but like
• 45:00
  Speaker 17: enough fireworks but five states and don't forget John Gotti,
• 45:05
  Speaker 17: God rest his soul. He put on the best fireworks
• 45:09
  Speaker 17: display in the city. Every year he did. People loved it.
• 45:13
  Speaker 17: They loved it. They go to Howard Beach, always Own Park,
• 45:17
  Speaker 17: July fourth and Gott he used to love to do it.
• 45:20
  Speaker 17: But as you no know, Jewish people, we don't like fireworks.
• 45:24
  Speaker 18: Like sparklers are about his.
• 45:26
  Speaker 17: Sparks, right, and even that was like a scared to
• 45:28
  Speaker 17: death to that. It's like a cigarette when it gets
• 45:31
  Speaker 17: out to the very body and like mommy and my
• 45:33
  Speaker 17: fingers starting to burn. And then clearly black guys aren't
• 45:37
  Speaker 17: good at either. Because Jason Pierre Paul lost three fingers
• 45:40
  Speaker 17: the great giant pass rusher. Was it two or three fingers?
• 45:43
  Speaker 17: I don't I think two. I don't think he may
• 45:46
  Speaker 17: have lost two fingers. It wasn't so bad. Did you
• 45:53
  Speaker 17: like fireworks?
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: Well, my family, you're right, it is. I think it's
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: more of an Italian thing. It is because I would
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: go to my grandfather's.
• 46:01
  Speaker 17: Because you would get illegal fireworks. Yes, because you would
• 46:04
  Speaker 17: shake the guy down, right.
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: But one of my uncles was always the guy who
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: came over to my grandfather's.
• 46:10
  Speaker 17: Yeah, Uncle Jimmy, two times bronks and.
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: Like, oh, uncle Joey's got the fireworks and two bricks
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: of firecrackers, just bricks and then all of the stuff
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: that you'd shoot out, shoot off in the fool yard
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: across the street.
• 46:23
  Speaker 17: But good stuff, like you want to like, you're the
• 46:25
  Speaker 17: type of kid I know you. You were definitely putting
• 46:27
  Speaker 17: m eight's and people's mailboxes, those pineapple bombs and all that.
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: Right, No, we had those things. But my father was scared.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: She was, Oh my mother hated my mother's the Irish side. Yeah,
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: like you just keep that of lou. You don't touch that.
• 46:42
  Speaker 10: You know.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: My father would be throwing my grandfather would be throwing
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: the firecrackers that my mother is coming.
• 46:48
  Speaker 18: Up the sta.
• 46:48
  Speaker 17: Well, I'm gonna make one. I'm gonna make one admission
• 46:50
  Speaker 17: the I'm gonna go to break tootal frank. So, like
• 46:53
  Speaker 17: I said, Jewish kids don't do it. So I grew
• 46:55
  Speaker 17: up in an upstate and my two really close friends
• 46:59
  Speaker 17: was a Jewish kid named Steve Goldstein and an Italian
• 47:02
  Speaker 17: kid named Richie bouch Sherry. And Richie was good with
• 47:05
  Speaker 17: the fireworks. He was Italian, and we would do a
• 47:08
  Speaker 17: lot about fireworks shows. They still do it down by
• 47:11
  Speaker 17: the lake. That makes sense, right down by the lake.
• 47:13
  Speaker 17: So we got boats, pontoon boats. You know, there's one
• 47:17
  Speaker 17: hundred and seventy seven homes in my community. In about
• 47:20
  Speaker 17: fifty to sixty of those homes, maybe more, they've got
• 47:23
  Speaker 17: boats down by the docks when you first come into
• 47:26
  Speaker 17: our community. So we never did this stuff before. Richie did,
• 47:30
  Speaker 17: but not me and Steve t one July fourth was
• 47:33
  Speaker 17: setting off all these fireworks. The next thing we know,
• 47:36
  Speaker 17: we hear this relatively loud explosion and one of the
• 47:40
  Speaker 17: pontoon boats he's on fire, sinking. Now we knew the
• 47:48
  Speaker 17: homeowner very very very well friend of ours. I'm not
• 47:51
  Speaker 17: sure to this day if he knew it was us.
• 47:54
  Speaker 17: We ran away and the next day we found out
• 47:58
  Speaker 17: that the fire trucks were there and we burned down
• 48:00
  Speaker 17: about five boats. This goes back about thirty years ago.
• 48:06
  Speaker 17: I think we're passed the statual limitation, but I want
• 48:10
  Speaker 17: to admit right now I'm very sorry to some of
• 48:12
  Speaker 17: those boat owners. It was us. We did it. We
• 48:15
  Speaker 17: had no idea what we were doing, and we literally
• 48:18
  Speaker 17: set five to ten boats at the docks on fire.
• 48:22
  Speaker 17: Isn't that great?
• 48:22
  Speaker 23: No?
• 48:22
  Speaker 18: Yeah, this thirty years ago.
• 48:25
  Speaker 17: More than that, maybe even more. Yeah, I was probably
• 48:27
  Speaker 17: about third. Oh my god, maybe a forty plus.
• 48:29
  Speaker 18: Yeah, that's a long time ago.
• 48:31
  Speaker 17: Yeah, you're right, I'll be sixty. Oh my god, take
• 48:33
  Speaker 17: a break. When we get back the budget one hundred
• 48:36
  Speaker 17: and twenty six billion dollars. We saw a mom Donnie,
• 48:40
  Speaker 17: the scumbag mayor, and men in the speaker of the
• 48:43
  Speaker 17: city council, and the guy that plays a huge role
• 48:46
  Speaker 17: in that council used to work here. He was a
• 48:49
  Speaker 17: great radio host. Now he's one of our five Republicans
• 48:53
  Speaker 17: out of fifty one in a city council that has
• 48:57
  Speaker 17: forty six absolute lunatics. Oh a good buddy, Frank Morano.

• 51:37
  Speaker 21: This is Frank Morano. First of all, congratulations on your
• 51:40
  Speaker 21: induction to the New York State Hall of Fame. The
• 51:42
  Speaker 21: fact of the matter is this is long overdue, much
• 51:45
  Speaker 21: like Susan Lucci finally winning that Emmy Award. It should
• 51:48
  Speaker 21: have happened a long time ago. You are a rare
• 51:51
  Speaker 21: radio talent. You're somebody that understands that our job is
• 51:55
  Speaker 21: to entertain and you do it better than anybody. But
• 51:59
  Speaker 21: unlike so many these people that go on the radio
• 52:01
  Speaker 21: with the intent of entertaining, you've actually managed to have
• 52:06
  Speaker 21: an incredible impact on public affairs in the city and
• 52:10
  Speaker 21: this country. And unlike so many people that have managed
• 52:13
  Speaker 21: to strike that balance between entertainment and having a meaningful impact,
• 52:17
  Speaker 21: you don't forget the radio community. You still go back
• 52:20
  Speaker 21: and participate in events like the Barrett Media Summit and talkers.
• 52:24
  Speaker 21: There's nobody that does that. I've said that you're as
• 52:27
  Speaker 21: influential as Bob Grant was at his height, and that's true.
• 52:30
  Speaker 21: But the fact of the matter is at some point
• 52:33
  Speaker 21: Bob stopped participating in the radio community for a variety
• 52:37
  Speaker 21: of reasons. But I think it says a lot about
• 52:39
  Speaker 21: you that you always went back and never forgot where
• 52:43
  Speaker 21: you came from, both geographically being a kid from Brooklyn
• 52:46
  Speaker 21: and professionally being a radio guy. Even while you get
• 52:50
  Speaker 21: to dine with presidents, mayors and prime ministers. Congratulations, it's
• 52:54
  Speaker 21: long overdue. My only complaint is that you're not yet
• 52:56
  Speaker 21: in the National Radio Hall of Fame.
• 52:58
  Speaker 17: Forty six Democrat to Republicans in our city council in
• 53:02
  Speaker 17: about twenty five of those forty six Democrats are outright lunatics.
• 53:08
  Speaker 17: People like chay O say he should be in prison, honesty,
• 53:11
  Speaker 17: should be in prison. He's a sick, sick guy. Plenty
• 53:15
  Speaker 17: of women too. But Frank is there and yesterday was
• 53:18
  Speaker 17: the vote and the budget, and he and I talked
• 53:20
  Speaker 17: a lot throughout the day. So here he is our
• 53:24
  Speaker 17: great city councilman out of Staten Island, Frank Morano, Franko, morning, buddy, how.
• 53:29
  Speaker 26: Are you good?
• 53:30
  Speaker 27: Maranks?
• 53:30
  Speaker 21: Thanks for having me. Congratulations to you and all the
• 53:34
  Speaker 21: sports talk folks on the incredible anniversary of the fan
• 53:37
  Speaker 21: and everything like that. And I do have to say
• 53:39
  Speaker 21: it's like sometimes I listen to you and if I
• 53:42
  Speaker 21: wasn't living what you're describing, I would think this is hyperbole.
• 53:47
  Speaker 21: I would think this city is exaggerating. And I'm listening
• 53:50
  Speaker 21: to you, and the fact is you were integral into
• 53:54
  Speaker 21: the conversations about the city budget yesterday. Here we are
• 53:58
  Speaker 21: getting ready to talk vote on one hundred and twenty
• 54:01
  Speaker 21: six billion dollar budget, and at least on the public
• 54:04
  Speaker 21: safety aspect of it. You were integral in terms of
• 54:08
  Speaker 21: me getting some answers that I couldn't get from anybody else.
• 54:11
  Speaker 21: And as I said in that clip there, I think
• 54:14
  Speaker 21: it's part of what makes you so special, not just
• 54:16
  Speaker 21: as a radio talent, where you recognize that we're actually
• 54:20
  Speaker 21: here to try and entertain people, but in terms of
• 54:23
  Speaker 21: something that's influential. I really do hope the audience realizes
• 54:27
  Speaker 21: how lucky they are to have you.
• 54:28
  Speaker 17: Oh that's so nice. Thank you. And you did ask
• 54:31
  Speaker 17: me to do you a favor. I did it. I
• 54:33
  Speaker 17: made a pone call. I wasn't really confident, I'm being honest, Frank,
• 54:36
  Speaker 17: that that person was going to call me back as
• 54:39
  Speaker 17: quickly as they did and give me the answer you
• 54:42
  Speaker 17: were looking for. But they did. And you're talking about safety,
• 54:45
  Speaker 17: it's obviously about the cops and the fact that Mom
• 54:48
  Speaker 17: Donnie at the bury last second revoked adding about six
• 54:52
  Speaker 17: hundred cops. But it's not as easy as that. So
• 54:55
  Speaker 17: I know John Shell is very upset, and I love
• 54:58
  Speaker 17: Vinnie Balalan. Congratulations Vine. He's very upset. But it's not
• 55:02
  Speaker 17: as easy as that. So I made the phone call
• 55:04
  Speaker 17: to the one person who wouldn't know, and I gave
• 55:07
  Speaker 17: you the answer. So is it fair to assume that
• 55:11
  Speaker 17: after I told you what that person said, you're okay
• 55:15
  Speaker 17: with the answer.
• 55:16
  Speaker 21: Well, yeah, I mean one I believed it, right. I mean,
• 55:21
  Speaker 21: we were told that there were integral elements of the
• 55:25
  Speaker 21: public safety community that were okay with the mayor not
• 55:29
  Speaker 21: hiring five hundred and eighty cops, which he had pledged
• 55:33
  Speaker 21: to do, and was the police commissioner when she was
• 55:36
  Speaker 21: testifying before the city council, indicated they were doing. And then,
• 55:40
  Speaker 21: just so folks understand the turn of events here, I
• 55:43
  Speaker 21: was set to vote for this budget yesterday. There was
• 55:46
  Speaker 21: some things in I liked, some things that I didn't like.
• 55:49
  Speaker 21: And then around midnight the day whatever, the night before yesterday, whatever,
• 55:55
  Speaker 21: I've lost track, whatever day it is, Monday night before, Yeah,
• 55:58
  Speaker 21: Monday night, around midnight, the mayor tells the speaker, Oh,
• 56:02
  Speaker 21: by the way, those five hundred and eighty comps were
• 56:04
  Speaker 21: not giving you those anymore. And at that point it's
• 56:08
  Speaker 21: too late to negotiate. Everything is set, so you know,
• 56:13
  Speaker 21: But there were a lot of other elements that I
• 56:15
  Speaker 21: was uncomfortable with this budget. A lot of good elements too.
• 56:18
  Speaker 21: Any budget is some good, some bad. This was one
• 56:21
  Speaker 21: where there was more bad than good, But This is
• 56:25
  Speaker 21: the largest budget in New York City history. Think about this,
• 56:29
  Speaker 21: nearly one hundred and twenty six billion dollars. Just a
• 56:32
  Speaker 21: few years ago, we thought one hundred billion was unimaginable.
• 56:35
  Speaker 21: When government grows this fast, taxpayers should expect major improvements
• 56:40
  Speaker 21: in public safety and quality of life and basic services.
• 56:44
  Speaker 21: I don't think this budget delivers that, and it's ultimately
• 56:47
  Speaker 21: why I ended up voting no on the expense budget.
• 56:50
  Speaker 21: I did vote for the capital budget, but I just
• 56:54
  Speaker 21: think this isn't just Republicans saying that this budget is
• 56:58
  Speaker 21: filled with gimmicks. The Citizens Budget Mission, which is pretty
• 57:00
  Speaker 21: non partisan. They're one of the city's most respected, non
• 57:04
  Speaker 21: partisan fiscal watch stocks, not considered Republican by any means.
• 57:08
  Speaker 21: They said the budget has a huge structural budget problem
• 57:12
  Speaker 21: and fails to solve it. They warned that it's balanced
• 57:15
  Speaker 21: with these one shots, with these short term savings and
• 57:18
  Speaker 21: cost shifts, cost shifts that leave taxpayers with a gaping
• 57:21
  Speaker 21: hall next year. Our friend Vicky Paladino, when when she
• 57:25
  Speaker 21: voted yesterday, she pointed out that this is just basically
• 57:28
  Speaker 21: a budget based on state bailouts. This is the fiscal equivalent,
• 57:32
  Speaker 21: and I think we've both been in this position once
• 57:34
  Speaker 21: or twice. This is the fiscal equivalent of paying your
• 57:37
  Speaker 21: visa bill with your MasterCard.
• 57:39
  Speaker 17: You're right, it's you know, taking money from Peter to
• 57:42
  Speaker 17: play Paul. And you know Kathy Holckle bailed Mom Donnie out,
• 57:46
  Speaker 17: So I'm not sure how Mom Donnie is able to
• 57:48
  Speaker 17: take a victory lot. But you need to tell me, Frank,
• 57:50
  Speaker 17: get real specific here with the audience, because you're in there,
• 57:53
  Speaker 17: you're voting yes and no yesterday. Give me two things
• 57:57
  Speaker 17: about the budget that you think really helps New Yorkers,
• 58:01
  Speaker 17: and give me two things that you think.
• 58:05
  Speaker 21: Yeah, okay, well on the good list. Uh, there's actually
• 58:09
  Speaker 21: an you know, I'm the chairman of the Veterans Committee,
• 58:11
  Speaker 21: and the city has been short changing veterans for a
• 58:16
  Speaker 21: long time. And even though just about every agency saw
• 58:20
  Speaker 21: a reduction, the Department of Veteran Services, they actually got
• 58:25
  Speaker 21: a modest increase. It's still but what does that mean?
• 58:29
  Speaker 17: Give me in practical terms? What does that mean?
• 58:31
  Speaker 21: Well, so in terms of money, that means we're going
• 58:34
  Speaker 21: from about six million, four hundred thousand dollars to over
• 58:38
  Speaker 21: seven million dollars. And that means if you're a veteran
• 58:42
  Speaker 21: in New York City. You will the DVS, which does
• 58:47
  Speaker 21: very good work. They are the Department of Veteran Services.
• 58:51
  Speaker 21: They will be able to help connect you with veter
• 58:53
  Speaker 21: with veteran services, with benefits, with all sorts of other things.
• 58:57
  Speaker 21: And as far as I'm concerned, we can't spend enough
• 59:00
  Speaker 21: fun veterans. And I think that was that was a
• 59:04
  Speaker 21: very very positive The other thing, look, my district did
• 59:07
  Speaker 21: very well. And this is and again I don't want
• 59:10
  Speaker 21: to I don't want to out too many private conversations here,
• 59:13
  Speaker 21: but this and again, you and I are kind of
• 59:16
  Speaker 21: different in terms of how we like to handle things.
• 59:20
  Speaker 21: I like to get along with folks and I like
• 59:22
  Speaker 21: to try and the accommodating and I have and you
• 59:27
  Speaker 21: may disagree, and I understand why, but I have an
• 59:29
  Speaker 21: enormous amount of respect and admiration for the current speaker
• 59:32
  Speaker 21: of the City Council. And she pointed out all all
• 59:36
  Speaker 21: the great things that Staten Island is getting in this budget.
• 59:40
  Speaker 21: We're getting new parks, new libraries, renovations of firehouses, We're
• 59:46
  Speaker 21: getting all sorts of very very positive things. So Staten
• 59:50
  Speaker 21: Island did very well in this budget. We got about
• 59:54
  Speaker 21: fifty six billion dollars in capital money. We've never gotten
• 59:59
  Speaker 21: this before. That's great, But in terms of the latter.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 17: Hold on before you get to the bad stuff. What
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 17: do you think I don't know that way about Julie.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 17: You know, Look, there's no question that I was very
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 17: angry with Julie Mennon. I made it very very clear
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 17: on here and on Twitter. A lot of very famous
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 17: people in this city, very famous, called me, you know
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 17: this and said, sit down with her. Go to David
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 17: Goodside's place, the Beach Cafe. En, I've lunch with it. Julie,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 17: she actually likes you. I said no, no, because there
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 17: was no reason for her to call me an islamophobe,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 17: not once, but twice twice publicly. She doubled up on
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 17: me like she did the Vicki Palladino, and I was pissed.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 17: But do I think she sold out the city yesterday? Now?
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 17: Do I think she has tried to do things to
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 17: protect New Yorkers, especially Jewish New Yorkers. Yes, So I've
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 17: come around a bit on Julie. Look, I'm always going
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 17: to be a little bit resentful. I'm not gonna lie,
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 17: but I don't hate her, not even a little.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 21: Yeah, No, it's just I didn't mean to imply that
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 21: you did. It's just you have a tendency and a
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 21: lot of people that are just on the radio have
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 21: the benefit of looking at the whole world in black
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 21: and white, and a lot of times you're right, you know,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 21: for instance, and you know, I think you said a
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 21: while ago that chances are if you're on the same
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 21: side as Mom Donnie, you're doing something wrong. And that's
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 21: one of the reasons why after, you know, I spoke
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 21: about the budget yesterday and what was somebody in the
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 21: Mayor's office that I've never heard of, that I've never
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 21: spoken to, that's never reached out to me. They texted
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 21: me out of the blue to lecture me about how
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 21: you know, I should be, how my words have actions
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 21: or whatever it is that she was telling me.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 17: But I saw that text, Yeah, so you'll kind of
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 17: to send it to me. What exactly what she referring to.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 21: Well, so I spoke about why I was voting against
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 21: the budget, and not only did I praise the speaker
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 21: for the capital investment in Staten Island, and I voted
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 21: again for the capital budget, and I even praised some
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 21: of my progressive colleagues, because unlike the mayor, throughout this
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 21: whole budget process, they were totally honest. They were honest
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 21: about where they were coming from. They said, this is
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 21: where we are. They stayed at the negotiating table, they
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 21: fought for what they wanted to fought for. And look,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 21: even though we disagree about where the city should be,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 21: you can't say they were dishonest. Right. The mayor was
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 21: totally and completely dishonest. This guy was learning around for
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 21: five six months. First of all, this was after talking
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 21: about this manufactured fiscal crisis where we were going to
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 21: have to raise taxes on everybody and we were still
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 21: going to have a seven billion dollar budget deficit, and
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 21: magically that just disappeared, which leads me to think it
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 21: was just an excuse to try to raise taxes. But
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 21: up until two days ago, we were getting five hundred
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 21: and eighty new cops. This was a dundee. It wasn't
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 21: and the mayor waited until it was too late for
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 21: it to be negotiated for him to say, you know,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 21: like animal House, you have to you trusted us. You know,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 21: this is crazy. So this and that's what I think
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 21: she had an issue with. Basically basically that me calling
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 21: the mayor out on this. But honestly, the mayor's behavior.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 21: Forget about spending more money than most countries spend. The
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 21: mayor's behavior and just in terms of being an honest broker,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 21: it's a vehominable. So just to go back to the
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 21: question you asked about what's not good in this budget?
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 21: Joan Ariola, she's a Republican from Queen's your your council member,
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 21: she's the chair of the fire you know, fire Committee.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 21: She and all the Republicans then quite a few Democrats.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 21: By the way, she was pushing for a fifth firefighter
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 21: on a lot of the fire trucks, and we all
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 21: were fighting hard.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 17: For a pot which, by the way, makes sense. You know,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 17: I'm back to watching Dennis Leary Rescue me I saw
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 17: twenty years ago, watching it again, and my neighborhood in
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 17: Belle Harbor, including my next door neighbor Billy, they're all
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 17: buyer fighters. That makes sense.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 21: Yeah, So basically we were all pushing for at least
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 21: a pilot program that adds a fifth firefighter to engine companies.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 21: The FD and Y acknowledge the safety benefits, and basically
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 21: my take was, if we could spend one hundred and
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 21: twenty six billion dollars. We should be able to make
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 21: sure enough firefighters are on the rig when they respond to,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 21: you know, a house fire that somehow they didn't have.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 21: They didn't have room for in the budget. The new cops,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 21: they didn't have the room for. So we found tens
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 21: of millions of dollars for what amounts to taxpayer funded
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 21: communications operations. I think it's a propaganda machine, this new
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 21: the mayor's new community assistance unit. But we couldn't find
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 21: the mind to put more police officers on the street.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 21: That sells everything you need to know about this administration's priorities. Mom,
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 21: Donnie is spending tens of millions of taxpayer dollars building
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 21: what looks an awful lot like a government's funded political
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 21: communication machine, whatever we want to call it, public relations, propaganda, whatever.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 21: But while city Hall is hiring people to shape the
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 21: narrative and explain how good of a job they're doing,
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 21: they refuse to hire the bare minimum number of cops
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 21: needed to replenish the ranks.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 17: So yeah, no, listen, So on the final sixty seconds,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 17: when I start reading all these tweets and I'm getting messages,
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 17: from the cops and the FDNY. They've reached out to
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 17: me as well, and they're angry. According to you, they're right.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 21: I believe so. And the other thing is, and I'm
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 21: not disputing where the Commissioner falls on her public position
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 21: on this, but there's a morale problem. You talk to
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 21: more cops than I do. There's a morale problem in
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 21: this department. And even first of all, in terms of
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 21: run numbers, we have fewer cops in Staten Island than
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 21: we did thirty years ago, even though the population has
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 21: gone up one hundred and fifty thousand people. So this
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 21: is well.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 17: That may be Staten Island. But just saw the listeners
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 17: know when Eric Adams left office he had no interest
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 17: in adding cops. It's amazing former cop, great cop. Oh yeah,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 17: the number was at about thirty one thousand two Jessica
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 17: Tish's credit. I don't think folks who even realize this,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 17: but closer to thirty four now, now here's the issue.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 17: Three or four thousand will leave at the end of
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 17: the year. And the question is ken Tish and another thousand,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 17: which he did last year. I don't know. But the
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 17: truth is, at least today the numbers may be down
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 17: on Staten Island, but they're up about three thousand since
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 17: Eric Adams left.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 21: Yeah, you're exactly right about that. But again, because of
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 21: attrition and retirements and more people eligible for retirement, we
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 21: need to earn more coups. And again, it would have
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 21: sent a message that at least this administration cares a
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 21: bit about public safety, and unfortunately, I think that government's
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 21: first responsibility public safety and basic services. If you're spending
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 21: one hundred if you have spending one hundred and twenty
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 21: six billion dollars and still can't find room for war
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 21: cops or a fifth firefighter, I think your priorities are
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 21: are way out of order. This budget spends like there's
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 21: no tomorrow, and unfortunately, the taxpayers still have to live
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 21: in tomorrow. And we didn't to play the bill for
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 21: a lot of this nonsense next year. In the year
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 21: after that, the city is spending like it won the
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 21: lottery and the budget got bigger, but we didn't get
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 21: any safer. I mean, think about how much larger this
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 21: budget has been just last year ten billion dollars. Did
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 21: we get ten billion dollars more worth of services of
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 21: public safety? Of course not. I mean at what point
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 21: do we take a breath and say we can't just
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 21: keep spending endlessly.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 17: I gotta tell you the best, seriously, and I think
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 17: you speak now. I mean it, Frank, and I really
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 17: believe you speak for the majority of New Yorkers. Certainly
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 17: my listeners like, yeah, Frank, if we were one hundred percent,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 17: because so many cops and buy It fighters and first responders,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 17: all those great folks love this show. So I want
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 17: to thank you for your yo civic duty, doing a
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 17: great job on the city council. I want to thank
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 17: you for another great appearance this morning. I want to
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 17: thank you overall for what's really one of my favorite friendships.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 17: I think you're great. I love you.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 21: Thank you Solmy obviously you know I feel the same way.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 21: I praise you in all scenarios. You've been very good
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 21: to me, both as a mentor in radio and politically.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 21: When the chips were down and it was very difficult
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 21: to be an advocate for me, you stood by me
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 21: when very few others and just as a listener. One
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 21: of the great benefits of my new schedule is that
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 21: I get to hear just about all four hours of
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 21: the show, and it means a great deal that I
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 21: get to do that.
• 1:08:49

• 1:09:54
  Speaker 28: of the day, and we appreciate you guys checking out
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 28: Bill O'Reilly on a daily basis. So the rise of
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 28: this communist socialist BS took me by surprise a little bit,
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 28: and the genesis of.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 10: It is school and parents. When you are a child,
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 10: you have to go to school. It's a law.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 28: And so at six years old, you march in. And
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 28: if you are in an urban area, big city, the
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 28: chances are the school is controlled by the teachers' union,
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 28: which is dramatically left, a progressive concern. Okay, so you
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 28: sit down and the teacher, not all of them, but
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 28: a good portion are liberal people, and they're telling you
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 28: things that aren't true. Not about math and science so much,
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 28: but about history and your nation and all that you're
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 28: listening to. It's no longer George Washington chopped down at
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 28: Cherry Tree or anything like that.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 10: Just listening today.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 28: And then at home, your parents have abdicated a total
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 28: responsibility for your education. So you're six, you're seven, You're
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 28: not getting anything from them right there on the phone,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 28: or they're doing whatever they want to do. They're not
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 28: shaping your point of view. And so school and parents
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 28: have driven young Americans into a world of delusion.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 10: And that's the truth.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 28: Trapped in a timeshare, fees rising every year while availability
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 28: shrinks resorts, making exiting nearly impossible.

  Speaker 1: This is sitting friends in the morning, entertaining and informative.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 18: My friend seventy seven w WABC.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 17: All right, so you guys know that I speak to
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 17: Bruce Blateman just about every day, and I was i'my
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 17: even the first, maybe not the first. I imagine Cairo
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 17: or King or fint In or one of those guys
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 17: was the first Chris Boyle. But I was one of
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 17: the first people he came to months and months and
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 17: months ago and said I think I want to run
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 17: for governor. And I said to it, Kathy Hokeel is
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 17: a wicked witch, an evil, vile, wretched, not a nice person.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 17: Stop with that nonsense. She's not a nice person. And
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 17: you can win. So we talk about every day, and
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 17: I'm helping put people around him that can help him
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 17: win because if he doesn't win, we're dead. It's really
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 17: that simple. I said, folks, if Bruce Blakeman loses and
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 17: you've got another four of Hokel, then you're pretty much
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 17: guaranteed seven more of Mom Donnie. We're dead. We're dead.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 17: So I got a buddy. His name is Abraham, and
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 17: all the Jews know him because he's all over Instagram
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 17: and he fights really hard for the Jewish people. But
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 17: he's Persian, he's Arab. He's a great guy. Lawyer, immigration lawyer.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 17: My wife Danielle actually worked with him for many, many years.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 17: Him and Rachel became part of the family and he
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 17: now is part of the Bruce Blakeman team, which makes
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 17: me very happy and Bruce happy. But the way it
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 17: happened I think may raise a couple of eyebrows. So
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 17: with that said, here he is. I love this guy.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 17: Abraham hamra ay be good morning, buddy. How are you?
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 23: Good morning, sitting, Good morning everybody in New York. I'm
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 23: doing great.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 26: How are you?
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 17: I know you're doing great. I'm well. Tell everybody we
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 17: got about eight minutes. So tell everybody you went the
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 17: other day to be confirmed, to be confirmed to be
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 17: part of this team, and tell everybody the nonsense that
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 17: you went through to get there.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 23: So County Executive Bruce Blakeman appointed me to the Planning Commission,
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 23: to the National County Planning Commission, So I truly.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 27: Didn't expect we're gonna have an issue with.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 23: The confirmation hearing. I get there. There's two other nominees
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 23: with me at this nomination, both also a county executive,
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 23: Bruce Blaceman, Bruce Blakeman nominees.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 10: We get there.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 23: I was the only one out of all three nominees
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 23: that did not get a co sponsored minority Democrat nomination.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 23: Now you think I did something to the Democrat Party.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 23: I went out. I'm allowed advocate against the Democrat Party.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 23: You know me, Sid, I've never been super political. I'm
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 23: always issue based person. I don't care about party affiliation.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 23: But what this showed me today is the division that
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 23: exists within this country and the pact that the Democrat
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 23: Party is taking is going to tank this country unless
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 23: something drastic happens to change that party completely. They all
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 23: voted against me. While Mazi Pillop was talking about my
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 23: story about how I was displaced as a refugee, how
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 23: I stand up for civil rights.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 27: You had them, the Democrats, sitting on the other side.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 23: My wife was sitting right.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 17: Next to me.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 23: No, Rachel, She's not as insane as I am.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 27: She was in disbelief.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 23: She's like they were looking rolling their eyes.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 27: Looking at you, nasty.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 23: Like one of them was staring at me with such
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 23: hate you'd think I spit in between his eyes.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 27: I didn't even know the guy's name until after I
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 27: went back to look up his name just so I'm like,
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 27: why is he.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 21: Looking at me?
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 23: And said, you way what I do to him?
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 27: I think his name was Carrie Solange or something like that.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 27: It was truly befuddling.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 23: To me how they all jumped and screamed nay, to
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 23: my confirmation. Keep in mind, this is the Democrat Party, right,
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 23: this is their loyalty.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 27: I want every listener to hear the.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 23: Loyalty of the Democrat Party. Two months, not even two
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 23: months ago, I was standing with Tom Swazi, who's running
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 23: for re election as in Congress for the third distion.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 17: Now, just so you know, just so you know, I'm
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 17: enthusiastically endorsing the guy running against him. He was in
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 17: these studios on Monday, Michael Petrie. But go ahead, continue
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 17: your story.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 23: Oh but and you know what I'm joining you.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 27: I stood with him, and I think Tom.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 23: Swase, the Democrat Party a month later, spits in my
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 23: face with such an act, embarrassing me at my confirmation
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 23: hearing doing nothing to the Democrats, even though this party
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 23: has refused to step up and support the American way,
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 23: American values, protect Christians, protect Jews.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 27: It was disgusting.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 17: Wow. So look, I mean, I'm a dick, I admitted, Okay,
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 17: I just am and I hate the Democrats. I hate them.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 17: I even have family members and friends that I speak
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 17: less and less too. I still love them, but I
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 17: just have nothing in common with them. Nothing. And I
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 17: really believe the Democrats are evil, and I don't talk
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 17: about the progressive versus the moderates versus a DSA. As
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 17: far as I'm concerned, outside of John Betterman, there's not
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 17: a decent Democrat in the country. Sorry, Bob Holden, There's
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 17: not a decent Democrat in the country. This nonsense that
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 17: people talk about the common sense democrat. They don't exist.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 17: But that's me. I'm a very black and white guy.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 17: I'm not a very gray guy. You're not. You explained
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 17: it immigration attorney. You're Arab and Jewish. You make arguments
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 17: for just about everybody. But is it there to assume
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 17: now after the Democrats embarrassed you in your own backyard
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 17: with you and your beautiful wife Rachel, that Abe Hamra
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 17: may turn out to be more like sid Rosenberg.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 27: I am completely done with the Democrat Party at this point. Wow,
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 27: the way they embarrassed me, it was so disgusting.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 23: I'm an immigration attorney. I'm the person of color they
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 23: continue to, you know, throw out there talking about how
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 23: they spore people of color. I'm an immigrant to myself
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 23: to this country, a refugee you had to rebuild his life.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 23: I stand up for civil rights. I represented escape escaped slaves,
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 23: from Mauritania in asylum cases, and they're going to vote
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 23: against me for what What value do I hold that
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 23: is against liberalism?
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 27: What value do I hold against individuals?
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 23: Right?
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 17: So what is it? Is it the fact that you're Jewish?
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 17: Is it the fact that you you want to help
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 17: Bruce Blakeman, he's a Republican candidate. What is it?
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 21: What do you think I wish?
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 27: I look, I was the only person that showed up
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 27: to the nomination.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 23: I was wearing my keepa, wearing my my magenda, VID
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 23: loud and proud. I speak very clearly, and I oppose
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 23: any politician or any policies that affect Jews. As of late,
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 23: they've been more policies being pushed from the Democratic Party.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 23: I don't like throwing out the term anti Semitism. I
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 23: truly don't, And so that is the last resort of
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 23: my suspicion. But I truly have no idea what I
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 23: did to them to deserve such treatment that day.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 17: No, you love Bruce Blakeman again, right, you're a great
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 17: neck guy about the Nashau County, and you know that
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 17: if this state has any future, that he has to win.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 17: So what exactly will you be doing moving forward.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 27: So I'm going to be serving on that commission in
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 27: Nassau County, and I'm also you know, at.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 23: This point now, I'm very in my mind has been
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 23: set to helping Bruce Blakeman in any way I can
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 23: to win the governorship because without him at the helm,
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 23: Kathy Hokle, as you said, will run the state into
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 23: the ground. On top of that said, after that embarrassment,
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 23: I've made up my mind that I want to explore seriously,
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 23: very seriously, a run for office. I want to make
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 23: the change that I continue talking about because I know
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 23: I can help this country. I know I can revolutionize
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 23: the Republican Party, and I know the Republican Party has
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 23: a chance in New York as long as we talk
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 23: about the correct issues, the right issues, the issues affecting
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 23: everyday Americans like affordability, and not allow these socialists to
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 23: hijack these important human issues and lie and deceive and
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 23: gaslight people to their detriment. We could be the party
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 23: that helps people.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 17: How many years, be honest, you, Abraham, how many years
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 17: have I been telling you you need to run? How
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 17: many years have been telling you you need to run?
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 27: Honestly, it's been I think a year after I met.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 17: You, not even four years. Four years I've said, Abe,
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 17: you're the right guy. You're the right guy, You're not afraid,
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 17: you're very, very smart. You represent a million different types
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 17: of people, not just the Jewish people. You're ready for
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 17: this now. I know that I know Chuck Schumer. I
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 17: don't think Chuck Schumer is gonna run, that's my guess.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 17: I think he knows that he will eventually get wiped
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 17: out by AOC. That's assuming she wins. Maybe you're really
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 17: good Republican like you comes along. I don't know. So
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 17: I don't think that Chuck Schumer is gonna run anyway.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 17: But that's that seat is out there for the taking,
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 17: and there are others. Are you ready to announce exactly
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 17: what political office you're looking for?
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 23: So yeah, So I am currently contemplating that seat.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 27: In particular Chuck Schumer.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 23: He's been my arch nemesis.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 27: In a way of a person that's.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 23: Grand standing about his values but betraying every.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 27: Single value he said he held him AOC.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 23: I think the whole caggle of individuals do not scare me.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 23: And I'm going to be speaking to an election attorney
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 23: hopefully soon I'm going to be speaking to my wife,
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 23: my business partner, trying to figure out how exactly.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 27: I'm going to do this.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 23: But this is something that I truly want to pursue
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 23: because I believe that I have a shot, even.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 27: If it is AOC, I have a shot to.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 23: Taking her down and preventing her from taking the Senate seat.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 17: I love it. I really want you to do it,
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 17: and of course I'll be like I do most of
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 17: the people I love, enthusiastically endorsing you and helping you
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 17: because I think that the state needs more Abraham Hammers.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 17: I mean, the big problem is not only are we
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 17: outnumbered in this state, but quite frankly, when Curtis Sliwa
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 17: becomes your chance, you know your pile, your party is
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 17: a pile of dog shit. Excuse me, you gotta dumb that.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 17: But that's what we've got here. So we need more people.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 17: Young guys. You're still young, and you're angry and you
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 17: want to fix stuff. That's what this party needs.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 21: We need you, I agree.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 17: Fantastic.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 23: Well, listen, we'll lie, we'll get the ball.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 17: We will get the ball rolling today. Great job, Sorry
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 17: that you and Rachel how to go through all that
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 17: with those lousy Democrats a couple of days ago. But
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 17: it's just showing you that what I've been saying to
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 17: you for years is right. They are lunatics or bad people.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 17: And if that forces you to run for office, then
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 17: I was a good day. Abraham, great job, Thank you
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 17: so much, Take care, best of Rachel. That's Abraham Hamra
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 17: and I'm telling you, folks, he's got a big political
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 17: future right here in New York. Will take a break
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 17: when we get back. He follows me each and every
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 17: morning on this.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 2: Station, Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: Apple pod Cast network.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 17: On Sunday, I was up at four thirty am. Why
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 17: because Fox News sent a car to my Queen's residence
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 17: at five am on Sunday so I could make an
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 17: appearance on the Box and Friends Weekend show with Rachel Campos,
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 17: Duppy and Charlie Hurt and Griff Jenkins talking specifically about
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 17: the Iran conflict. So I go there and I think
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 17: the three of them, especially Rachel, who I speak to
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 17: quite a bit, expected me to kind of be in line.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 17: You know, Trump's doing a great job, and we're winning
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 17: the war, and things look great, and the economy is
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 17: on the upswing and we basically won and that's not
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 17: what they got, not even close. So it turned into
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 17: kind of a back and forth between me, Rachel, Charlie
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 17: and Griff and I have to tell you that people
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 17: really enjoyed it. But the first text I got when
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 17: I was done came from the guy that's one of
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 17: the three hosts during the weekday Box and Friends show
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 17: on Fox News, the same man that follows me each
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 17: and every weekday morning here on WABC at ten am,
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 17: and the host of my favorite show on Fox News
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 17: ten pm Sunday nights, One Nation, Brian kill Me. He goes, shit,
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 17: I just watched you. That was perfect. You actually said perfect?
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 17: Why was that the case? Brian kill meat?
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 21: Well, a couple of things today in the Wall Street
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 21: Journal they right, Trump got briefed what would all at
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 21: war look like if we just end the talks? And
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 21: what if we continue? And he decides for now to continue.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 21: Did speak to him yesterday? Did say he's has a
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 21: series of war meetings. This obviously is it. And I
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 21: don't think he minds. I don't I don't think he minds.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 21: Just in the with in the Wall Street Journal, I mean,
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 21: I'm done, with these these talks are a joke, and
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 21: I'm listening to it. The Irani and say, and I'm
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 21: perfectly willing to say, they're not being honest about what's
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 21: going on in the conversation. But they had no conversation
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 21: yesterday and Doha and I don't really listen to jd Vance.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 21: Jd Vance is just spinning it. He didn't want the
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 21: word to begin with, so he's leading the Yellow delegations,
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 21: but he's more concerned about selling his book and what
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 21: we want. As a result, the president is the only president,
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 21: as you mentioned, to take on militarily our enemy. Oh,
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 21: you're building a new grew up in You're continuing to
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 21: do it. We're telling you not to. I'm bombing it.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 21: Oh you're gonna You're gonna dig it out and you've
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 21: gotta continue. You're gonna harass your neighbors and foment unrest
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 21: with your proxies. We're gonna hit you harder that like
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 21: you've never been hit before. We're going to kill your
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 21: eighty six year old Ayahtola and wipe out eighty members
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 21: of your leading government and then led along with the Israelis,
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 21: assassinate almost all legitimate leaders of that country, leaving some
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 21: real crazy incompetence left hoping that the running and people
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 21: will be able to step up, but knowing that they're
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 21: unarmed without a Second Amendment, it's going to be tough.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 21: So now we're instance situation where we're talking to a
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 21: bunch of lunatics, some of which are pretending to be moderates.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 21: And I think that Steve would Cough and Jared Kushner
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 21: are two sincere, smart and nice guys. I think that
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 21: they're not going to produce anything. And I think you
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 21: see that too. And if we just see this, they
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 21: think that by dragging it out, gradually taking control of
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 21: the straight, they will have their virtual nuclear weapon. And
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 21: you're frustrated as well. And you got the perspective because
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 21: you were just in Israel, who we're told now they're
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 21: roped into this deal and they're thinking, you need to
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 21: consult me on this deal. And now I'm supposed to
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 21: go leave Lebanon and let HESBLA set up on our doorstep. Again,
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 21: they're not doing that, So we're pretty much we're pretty
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 21: much nowhere at this point. And you picked that out.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 17: Wow, I'm surprised that you You're in total agreement because
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 17: I've got people here at the station, for example, that
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 17: are Trump sick of interest like me, and they're telling me, no,
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 17: we won. I mean, look at the Dow Jones, folks.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 17: Folks about ninety seven percent of this country, if they
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 17: are lucky enough to go to Red Lobster on a
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 17: Friday night, they're winning. Okay, they're not. They're not. The
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 17: Dow Jones is not part of their life or the
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 17: S and P. Here's what they want. They want to
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 17: be able to afford eggs. They want to be able
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 17: to get, you know, a house. So interest rates need
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 17: to come down, they need inflation to come down. They
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 17: don't want wars. So the idea that no, we're winning
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 17: because the Dow Jones is up and the S and
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 17: P is up and your four oh one K looks
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 17: better than ever the majority of Americans, Brian, that's not true.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 17: I think I spoke and you did just now for
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 17: the majority of Americans on Fox News on Sunday.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 21: Yeah, I see. I love that we took on a rod.
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 21: Some people aren't happy about that. I love that we did.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 21: I just would like to finish the job and then,
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 21: knowing that it's going to cost gas prices to go
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 21: up if we just went for two or three more weeks.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 21: When we were at it, the biggest mistake we made
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 21: was doing that seat start to begin with. I think
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 21: the President got a little freaked out when our plane
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 21: was shot down, wondering what's going on with their air defense. Well,
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 21: they got lucky, and they might have got lucky again,
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 21: but they would have been destroyed if we just finished
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 21: the job. So that's really my frustration now because I
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 21: like the idea that he's doing it, So I just
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 21: don't like the idea of if they survived, they win,
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 21: and that's the perception in that area.
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 17: No, that is not the perception. That's the reality. Look,
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 17: Midnight Hammer was amazing. I also loved Operation Epic Fury.
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 17: But for the last couple of months, you use the
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 17: exact word that I used on Sunday, we're nowhere. You
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 17: can't argue that we are nowhere and I was in Israel,
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 17: like you pointed out. I gotta tell you, Brian, a
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 17: couple of months ago, if President Trump would a run
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 17: against bb Nettanyau for Prime Minister in Israel, he would
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 17: have won easily. Now I know it's not anecdotal, it's
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 17: just me, But I spoke to a lot of people
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 17: in a lot of different towns and cities in Israel
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 17: last week. They are angry. Forget about frustrated. They are
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 17: angry with President Trump. They feel like he stabbed them
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 17: in the back. The word the betrayal was used time
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 17: and time again. Do we not care about that?
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 21: Yeah, I mean as part of the negotiations. I think
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 21: they'll recover depending on how this ends. But you know,
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 21: the president wants a quick end and he doesn't understand
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 21: that one thing under that he gets. He's like, let
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 21: Syria finish the job. Teria finished the job. They barely
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 21: have an army, they have no missile defense. High spool
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 21: has got rockets because Syria hates Hesbla. The whole region
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 21: hates Hesbla. There are a bunch of thugs and they
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 21: were kicked out of Syria after the Russian stopped protecting
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 21: him because they were gummed up in this Ukrainian war.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 21: And now they're about to lose the Ukraine War. Keep
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 21: your eye on what's happening over there. They're now able
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 21: to reach almost every major city and these crazy lines
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 21: of Moscow, nobody can even get gas and they live
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 21: on a gas station. So this is the story. So
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 21: the President just wants this done, and I understand that
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 21: because it's got so much more to do, but this
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 21: is going to take a little bit more time. This
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 21: is in entrenched radical regime that has built a bunch
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 21: of fail safes should they ever be attacked. And unfortunately
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 21: we have no allies with any spine or any military
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 21: that's going to help us out. And even Saudi Arabian
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 21: cutter or cutting off or cutting survival deals rather than
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 21: what UAE is doing. Bahrain and Kuwait saying United States
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 21: will fight this with you, and I really appreciate them
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 21: more than ever. By watching some Middle Eastern television you
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 21: were living in I have to watch it from here,
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 21: and they were saying that there's a real schism in
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 21: the Gulf States because they're just a freight The West
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 21: is afraid. This president says, no, no, I got to
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 21: do it. Know whether President's going to do so, you
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 21: and I don't want that to go by the boards.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 21: He is doing it, but I think in the end
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 21: if he just goes and lets it goes. Combined again
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 21: with Israel, who said we're going to attack within forty
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 21: eight hours. If we get hit by Iran again, we
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 21: go by with Israel and just finish them off. Now
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 21: the question is in November. I guarantee you he does.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 21: We have to get to November. Also talk to people.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 21: They told me, in fact it was on yesterday, who
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 21: have Middle Eastern ties to Iranians, they used to live there,
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 21: that the goal is to make Donald Trump Jimmy Carter
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 21: ruining his election chances by destroying the mid terms for
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 21: him and his party. They know our election cycle, so
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 21: they're going to create unrest in October if we don't
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 21: do something about the canes of these talks. So there
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 21: is no good answer except a military answer, and I
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 21: think we both agree on.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 17: That one hundred percent. This is a great Brian Kilned
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 17: He follows me ten o'clock every morning right here on
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 17: WABC Box and Friends, One Nation, Great Show, ten pm
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 17: Sunday nights. You know, I was critical of President Trump
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 17: in Israel too, not just for the Iran war, but
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 17: the way he talks about Israel specifically Bbe. You mentioned JD.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 17: Vance earlier. I've got no use for JD. Vans. Somebody
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 17: needs to guarantee me right now that Marco Rubio is
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 17: our nominee in twenty twenty eight. I don't like JD.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 17: Banch even a little even a little, okay, But you
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 17: know we talked about in Israel, how he talks about
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 17: Israel and Bib Natinawa. He's quick to go out there
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 17: and criticize Bbe, but he says he's wonderful. Things still
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 17: still about mom, Donnie, and I know about you, Brian.
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 17: But I'm watching all these progressives. I know Wick and
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 17: look for hell Don but he's a bad guy anyway.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 17: I'm watching all these progressives win all across the country.
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 17: I watch what happened here in New York last Tuesday.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 17: It's terrifying.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 21: Yeah, it's not a New York story. It's a Colorado story.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 21: It's a it's a main story. It's everywhere. Good news
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 21: is Whu's in Collins is winning. I hope Mike Rogers
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 21: stays the course. Hold on. In Michigan, he's up by
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 21: one or two points, but he doesn't officially have an
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 21: opponent yet. But in Colorado, Hassan Piker is the new
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 21: kingmaker and the old man on the inside, Bernie Sanders
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 21: is the godfather. So that's what happens guys, when you
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 21: sell your soul, let everybody run who're not even in
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 21: your party. Now, all of a sudden, you have Bernie Sanders,
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 21: who got wrong twice he did, but you idiots let
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 21: him run as a Democrat without making him become a democrat.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 21: And now he's taking over your party like a tapeworm.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 21: So good luck, guys. It's bad for the country. My
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 21: hope is it's a resuscitator. It is a life back
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 21: for the Republicans in this midterm where people say, yeah,
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 21: well I don't love with such X, Y and Z,
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 21: but I'm not electing these lunatics who hate the country
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 21: and hate Israel. That's my hope. But Sid, I just
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 21: want to remind everyone. I got to run back to
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 21: the set now. I gotta remind everyone what's coming up

• 1:44:06
  Speaker 22: was a big fan of yours and said, yeah, you know,
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 22: I think he's talented.
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 20: I think he's good. And I listened to some of
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 20: your stuff and I talked to you and I said,
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 20: it's definitely worth giving you a shot, and you're on airwork.
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 20: Never disappointed, never disappointed. It was just, you know, your
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 20: your personal stuff at the time a lot, and as
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 20: you say, you were to blame for your own stuff,
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 20: and I have to agree with that. But you were
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 20: able to come back from all of that horrible stuff.
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 20: You straighten things out and now look at your New
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 20: York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 21: What an honor.
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 20: I mean that that's fabulous the way as I say,
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 20: you are absolutely the comeback kick.
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 17: Scott Kaplan, who what experience at a station down there
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 17: five or sixty w QAM with Hank Oldberg started this
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 17: radio division at this internet company, and he liked me,
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 17: and he gave me an opportunity on his show, which
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 17: at the time, again was strictly an internet radio show.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 17: But we were good, real good, two young kids, and
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 17: you know, he knew more about the radio business than
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 17: I did. I had no idea, but we were good
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 17: enough to eventually be syndicated on terrestrial radio and traded
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 17: to one or two point seven WNWFM, And like most
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 17: radio partners, we had a tough time this okayad with
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 17: Craig Carton and others. But for a long time we've
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 17: been very, very close, and I love him. I legitimately
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 17: love him. He's a great radio talent. He taught me
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 17: a lot about this business almost thirty years ago. He's
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 17: an even better guy. He's on seven ten AM Sports
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 17: radio in Los Angeles. He dusted up in San Diego
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 17: as well, and he's my main man. Scott Kaplan Cop
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 17: Good morning, buddy.
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 23: How are you Ella Kidney?
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 17: Hello Scottie? And what I want on? Are you in
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 17: San Diego right now? With driving towards Los Angeles?
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 27: Oh, I'm in LA this morning. And I was listening
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 27: to yesterday morning when I was driving up and I
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 27: heard that rejoin that you just played with Mark Turnoff.
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 27: And I've been following your adventures over the last week
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 27: and change. I'm very jealous that you keep going back
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 27: to Israel. I'm fifty six years old and I've still
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 27: never been to Israel. And my SI's a girlfriend, doesn't
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 27: want to go to Israel, and I'm trying to get
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 27: her to go.
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 17: Does she not want to go because she doesn't like
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 17: Israel and Bibi or she just doesn't like it's too
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 17: long of a twit? Maybe I don't know.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 27: No, it's more that she has like typical American fear
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 27: of going to Israel and saying, well, you can't go
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 27: there now. I mean, look what's going on over there,
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 27: and I and of the opinion like now would be
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 27: the best time to go which is right, that's right, yeah,
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 27: and so.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 17: And ultimately, BB A six's a courtment. It's a heck
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 17: of a lot safer, believe it or not, than taking
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 17: any one of about ten subways in New York City.
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 17: I mean that, oh, I believe that.
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 27: I mean, listen, I realized the whole world is not
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 27: really really on social media, and that the things that
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 27: we see on social media are not necessarily like they
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 27: may be filmed and part of what you see in
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 27: that moment, but it doesn't mean that all of New
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 27: York City happens to be like this one little isolated
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 27: area and incident. But I would believe that being in
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 27: Israel right now would be you know, I would feel
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 27: very safe going over there. But I just I haven't
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 27: been able to convince her yet because every time we
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 27: talk about going on some sort of I would call
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 27: it a more exotic trip, which we never go on
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 27: because I'm married, for freaking microphone, and I never leave.
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 27: But if we would, you know, she has all these
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 27: other places she wants to go. I'm like, no, we
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 27: to go to Israel. She just doesn't understand what you've seen,
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 27: what you've experienced. And I know what i'd like to
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 27: see in experience.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 17: It is amazing. And listen, you are busy these days.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 17: I mean, before we get to our career conversation. Even
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 17: in Los Angeles today, the big sports story across the
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 17: country is lebron is leaving. Will it be Golden State?
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 17: Stay in the state, Will it be Cleveland, will it
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 17: be Miami? And then I'm not exactly how short, how
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 17: fun you are from Santa Clara. But there's a big
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 17: soccer game about to take place tonight, the US taken
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 17: on Bosnia. Say you right now, your city, your state
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 17: is the center of sports talk.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 27: Oh sir, let me tell you. You know, I think when
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 27: you're in New York, and I know this is the
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 27: way it was for me when I was in Florida,
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 27: when I was in New York, when I was East
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 27: Coast based, I really thought of people in California. First
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 27: I thought of them as being slow and dumb, and
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 27: then I thought of them as being, you know, not
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 27: passionate sports fans show up lately early, all these kinds
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 27: of things. Every perception I had twenty five years ago
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 27: of la the West Coast was completely wrong. We think
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 27: about New York and again, back in the day you know,
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 27: you're fighting to get a cab on the streets. The
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 27: grocery stores, you know, you're they're they're tighter, You're you're
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 27: fighting to get to different products and stuff. Just New
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 27: York back then to me seemed like, you know, one
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 27: hundred miles an hour and vibrating at all times. Southern California, Sydney.
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 27: I'm telling you it may not be as public transportation,
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 27: although there is a subway system in LA, and it
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 27: may not be fighting for cabs. And the freeways may
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 27: be gigantic, but there's just because there's so many cars.
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 27: But people out here grind, they hustle, they're smart, they're competitive,
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 27: and when it comes to sports, the fan bases are
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 27: insanely passionate. Whether you know, I cover the Lakers and
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 27: the Dodgers in particular, and the Rams and and USC
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 27: football and these these programs, these organizations and these fan
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 27: bases are really serious and they're really bad. And when
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 27: it comes to sports, right now, we are in an
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 27: epicenter because sid Lebron James. Yesterday, I'm on the air
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 27: live at nine oh one am yesterday, and when this
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 27: news breaks that Lebron has gone, and half the people
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 27: absolutely love him and appreciate the fact that he brought
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 27: the Lakers a championship because the post Kobe era was
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 27: so bad in Lakers history. And then there's another half
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 27: of the people that are like, get him out of here.
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 27: It's time to build a new team. I look at
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 27: the Knicks, and I look at the stars that the
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 27: Knicks have, But how long it took for the Knicks
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 27: to achieve a championship and really make a true championship run.
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 27: The Lakers have to start over, and the only way
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 27: to do that is to get rid of this overbearing
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 27: presence that has had control of the organization. And when
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 27: you talk about the World Cup. Sid last night, I'm
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 27: in downtown La at a fancy Mexican restaurant called Hobbers.
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 27: This is you know, this is not street tacos man.
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 27: This is like high end, five star, super fancy Mexican restaurant,
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 27: and the place is just jam packed. And when Mexican
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 27: co scores these goals in the World Cup, the place
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 27: is on fire. And so you've got Canada who's made
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 27: it through. You've got Mexico who's.
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 21: Made it through.
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 27: And tonight the US, you guys are up. You guys
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 27: are on the stage, and Santa Clara is up. And
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 27: here's a little bit south of San Francisco where the
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 27: forty nine ers play, but Sofi Stadium where the Rams
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 27: play has also been hosting so many of these games.
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 27: So the World Cup out here, I'm presuming it's the
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 27: exact same way, given that the finals in met life,
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 27: the town, the state, the world of sports on fire
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 27: right now out here.
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 17: No, it is. That's you just really explained it perfectly
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 17: all that's going on out there, and also very similar
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 17: to New York, not just the rabbit sports fan and
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 17: the hustle on the bustle is you guys also cheat
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 17: on your elections because somewhere in La today Spencer Pratt
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 17: is walking around looking for a job when he should
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 17: be the next mayor.
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 27: Every time you and I have these conversations, I always
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 27: say the same thing to you. If you want to
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 27: talk about Tommy Edmonds, who just returned from injury from
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 27: the Dodgers, and you want to talk about the spectacular
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 27: diving play he made at third base last night against
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 27: the Oakland A's, or I guess now you'll call them
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 27: the Sacramento Athletics. On the way to Las Vegas. I
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 27: am your guy when it comes to talking about politics,
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 27: and you mentioned Spencer Pratt, I'm like, who is that?
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 17: No, No, see you say that, but it's not really true. See,
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 17: one of the things I love most about you. And
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 17: by the way, your son, Justin would make sure you
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 17: know who Spencer Pratt is. Justin's the real deal like us.
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 17: You told me, I mean not. He's a great kid.
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 17: He's such a smart kid.
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 27: Look, Sidney, Sidney, my son Justin is one of these
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 27: kids that gets his information from TikTok and can't wait
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 27: to remove himself from the state of California. When I
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 27: say to him, I say, gas prices are so expensive.
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 27: I wish the war would come to an end so
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 27: gas prices would come down. You know what he says
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 27: to me. He goes, it's not about the war, you
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 27: big dummy. He goes, it's about the taxes in the
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 27: state of It's Kevin Newsom's fault.
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 17: So my son, Yeah, he's a genius. Yeah he's he's right.
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 17: So wherever he gets it from. Justin is a very
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 17: smart boy. But you told me way back when as
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 17: I get set to get inducted in October that listen,
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 17: we're doing sports, sid, but it's not all about sports.
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 17: It's great that you know that. I'll never forget this.
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 17: You gotta fight. One time at a golf course with
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 17: Sandy Kovak's down in South Florida. He said, it's great
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 17: that you know that Richard Hamilton's nickname is Rip, but
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 17: not everybody knows that. And I remember the time I
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 17: was like, what are you stupid? Everybody knows that. What
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 17: I'm going to tell you is that a lot of
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 17: the stuff you told me thirty years ago, if not
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 17: all of it, was right. And as my career moved
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 17: along and I made that switch from sports to politics,
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 17: even though I do a ton of sports on this
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 17: show every morning, what you wanted me to become and
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 17: our show to be come was more than that, no
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 17: matter what the genre is, sports politics, Scott. When I
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 17: started to do that, that's when Michael Rereer took off.
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 17: So what I'm telling you is in the mid nineteen
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 17: nineties when no one was saying that you did and.
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 27: You're right, yeah, and well, thank you, and you know, listen,
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 27: you and I and I know you said this at
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 27: the beginning when we were first coming on. I know
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 27: your audience adores you and loves you. When we were
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 27: younger and we had this vision of what we wanted
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 27: to be, and we were both crazy sports fans, but
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 27: we both had a lot of strong opinions about other stuff.
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 27: And in the right venue, you can really do that.
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 27: And you have achieved a place in your career where
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 27: you've been able to do it. Listen, when you and
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 27: I were at any w we were asked, if you
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 27: will with trying to stay on course, but we didn't
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 27: really know what the course was, and honestly, not their
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 27: did management, because they had a lot of outlandish, comedic,
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 27: controversial type broadcasts that were happening on that station at
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 27: that time. And you and I we were that. We
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 27: just we incorporated sports. I mean, I'll never forget the
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 27: one time the Lakers won the NBA Championship and Shaquille
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 27: O'Neill was making a tour around New York. He was
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 27: doing the Today Show and Good Morning America and what
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 27: have you, and he came to us because we had
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 27: created a relationship with Shaquille O'Neill back in our South Florida.
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 17: They you're being very nice when you're saying way, the
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 17: truth is he loved you. All those guys did to
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 17: your credit, Tiger Woods, Pete Sampras, Wayne Gretzky, especially Shack.
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 17: They really did love you, so thank you. It was we,
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 17: but it really was you. And I think you're about
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 17: to tell the audience that he made his way towards studios, right, well,
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 17: he made.
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 27: His way into our studio. And if you remember, we
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 27: spent about an hour with Shaquille O'Neill and we were
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 27: doing what you and I did. Man, We were funny.
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 27: We were singing songs with Shaquille O'Neal. He was having
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 27: the best time ever. He wouldn't leave, you know. And
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 27: and when it was over, two things I'll never forget happened.
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 27: One w f AN called because we were sister stations
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 27: at WNW. Wf an called and said, how the hell
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 27: did you guys do that? And can you guys get
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 27: us Shaquille to come over here to w f AN.
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 27: And we were like, how.
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 10: Would do that?
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 27: We had a relationship with the guy in as far
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 27: as can we get him over there? Not really, you know,
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 27: But then the manager, this guy named Jeremy Coleman, who
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 27: is our station manager at the time, he brought me
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 27: into his office and he goes, what the hell was that?
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 27: And I was like, what do you mean. He goes, guy, what.
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 21: Are you doing for an hour?
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 27: And I was like, that's Shaquille O. He's the biggest
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 27: star in sports. He just won the championship and he's
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 27: making his rounds and he came to us and this
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 27: guy said, and he goes, don't ever do that again.
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 27: So you see, we didn't We didn't really have direction.
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 27: Now we knew that we were good, but the state
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 27: we were on a station that really could didn't deal
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 27: with what we brought to them. And now you're in
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 27: an environment now where you can do what you're doing,
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 27: talk sports because you're passionate about it and everybody knows
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 27: you love the Nicks and the Rangers, and apparently now
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 27: you love the Yankees. Crashed me up. I'll never forget
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 27: the Yankees were playing the mess for the first ever
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 27: subway Heuring World Series and we went to the game,
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 27: or sitting in right field, you're wearing Mess gear, I'm
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 27: wearing Yankee gear.
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 2: Sit and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 2: podcast network.
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 17: I want you to know, Peter, when I have these discussions,
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 17: whether it's Brian Kilmead or Fox News on Sunday. I'm
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 17: not patronizing you, but I think about you because not
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 17: how much I respect your foreign policy, your international intelligence.
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 17: But it comes to all these issues. We've had a
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 17: big fight one time about Ukraine and Russia. But the
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 17: truth is, at least on my program, you know as much,
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 17: if not more than anyone. And you've heard me for
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 17: a while now being pretty critical of the man I love,
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 17: maybe more than anybody, President Trump, because whether it's Iran,
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 17: how he deals with Israel, how he deals with BB
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 17: I don't love what I'm saying, and I got people
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 17: to station telling me, I said, you don't get it.
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 17: I think I do get it. Peter King, what do you.
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 26: Think of arm me wish my son showing a happy birthday.
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 26: Yet he's a great guy, great son.
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 17: I love your kids.
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 10: Sean.
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 17: I love him, and he loves the same musical groups
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 17: that me and Lewis love. We love that about Sean.
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 26: And he also loves to fill up your flyers. So
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 26: there's something wrong I or can I tell you anyway?
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 26: As far as President Trump, I think there are some
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 26: basic overall problems with his approach to foreign policy. It's
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 26: not a real estate deal. Issues are complicated, and when
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 26: you're dealing with Iran, you can't expect to go in
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 26: and win a war overnight. There's no such thing as
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 26: an easy war. That's certainly the case when you're facing
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 26: a country of ninety million people and it's rule by fanatics.
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 26: This isn't like Venezuela. We have a few gangses at
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 26: the top, and if you remove them, the problem is removed.
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 26: This is an embedded issue that's been there for decades,
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 26: in some cases centuries, and I think if you're going
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 26: to do that, you have to first of all, get
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 26: the American people on your side. But I'm fully support
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 26: it going after I ran, don't get me wrong, But
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 26: if you're going to do that, I think you should
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 26: put more effort into getting Congress on his side. Telling
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 26: American people is not going to be easy. Don't say
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 26: because the stock market's doing well or the four to
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 26: one case you're doing well, that it's going to go well.
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 10: It's not.
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 26: The average person out there is hurting, and I think
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 26: the people should be more supportive of the war. But
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 26: I understand why they're not because the president didn't mobilize them,
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 26: didn't tell them that sacrifices may be needed. Also, allies
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 26: can drive you crazy, so called allies, including NATO, but
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 26: you have to find a way early on to at
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 26: least get them on your side partially. For instance, he
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 26: went into the war and around without even telling anyone
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 26: in NATO about it, And then we could have used
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 26: the the mind sweepers. We could have used that, and
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 26: Reagan had trouble even with Thatcher. But somehow a leader
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 26: has to get as much behind him and then go forward.
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 26: I'm not seeing him of your principles, So it's a
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 26: compagated world. Also, I don't know what.
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 21: Which Coffee is doing in Ukraine, what he's doing in
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 21: the Middle East. They have no concept of the historical
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 21: that he's not Henry kissing people in there who are
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 21: in this for the long haul. And they go and
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 21: tell the American people this could be tough, but it's
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 21: worth it. Here's why I think it's absolutely essential that
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 21: we take away Iran's nuclear weapons. But then when things
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 21: aren't going well, be honest with the American people. Otherwise
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 21: people start to lose faith and the whole war effort
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 21: can go down. So anyway, that's what I'm saying. But Overall,
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 21: Donald Trump's done a great job, but it's certainly less
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 21: when he did last summer going into a ran that
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 21: was brilliant Venezuela, brilliant. The pressure on Cuba really makes
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 21: a lot of sense. But you can't cut off all
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 21: your allies, as difficult as they can be to deal with,
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 21: find ways to use pressure to get them on your side.
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 21: Gaz Arts is when you need them. We need them
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 21: now in the in the Middle East. How we went
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 21: into that war without knowing the only real weapon that
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 21: Iran has is a straight up for moves and we
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 21: give it to them. And now they can do that
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 21: whenever they want. Yep, they could, and that's the that's
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 21: the problem. And to keep saying that we're bombing them
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 21: that they don't really care that much unless we go
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 21: all out right. We gotta we gotta reclaim the Straits.
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 21: If you have to use NATO to do it, use ourselves.
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 21: We can't allow these fanatical moullas to be controlling the
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 21: world's economy.
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 17: And Peter could be both. I mean, look, I am
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 17: here to say that President Trump, I still believe is
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 17: the best president ever. I know you people think I'm crazy.
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 17: He Blincoln and Ronald Reagan and Democrats. They hear that
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 17: they think I belong in an insane as Solomon. Maybe
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 17: I do, but I what we do believe that. But
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 17: it could be both. He could be the greatest everyone
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 17: at the same time not doing a great job, especially
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 17: like you just talked about communicating when it comes to
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 17: the Iran warp. Finish the damn job. If you're going
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 17: to start it, finish it. Stop telling me about economic indicators.
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 17: Finish the damn job. It could be both. He could
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 17: still be great, but not hitting a home run with this.
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 26: Effort, right, yes, And also you have to stand with
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 26: your rallies. We have neither had a better rally than
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 26: Israel or bb net Yahoo. And now when things starts,
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 26: he goes out the bed. Now he's taking shots in
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 26: Net Yahoo. Well, we said, still saying good things about
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 26: MANDOMI still saying good things about Putin, still saying good
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 26: things about g And yet the one ally we had,
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 26: no matter what's we're thinking, that is in bb Net,
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 26: Yahoo and Israel and actually all the leaders in Israel,
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 26: but especially in that Yahoo, and they are really the
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 26: only country in the Middle East we can truly count
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 26: on and when other countries in there, those Arab states,
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 26: if they see us backing away from Israel. God, if
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 26: he's backing away from Israel, is you're really going to
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 26: stick with cutovers, You're really going to stick with the Uaes,
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 26: you really gonna stick with the Saudiast. Now I have
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 26: no great regard to any of those countries, but the
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 26: only way you're going to keep them on your side
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 26: and have them available in time of need is if
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 26: they see that you're loyal to your allies. And you're
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 26: probably loyal to them, and so you do it by
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 26: fear intimidation or whatever. But if they see us backing
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 26: away from Israel, or even after he meets from see
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 26: he says, uh walking away from Taiwan, you can't. You
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 26: can't be giving up your allies. You have to stay firm.
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 26: That's what Reagan did, That's what in many ways, what
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 26: Roosevelt did. We can go down the whole list, but
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 26: you have to you have to show that you believe
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 26: in something and you believe in allies, and no matter
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 26: what happens in the Middle East, Wigan to stand with Israel.
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 26: Not saying that I'm Syria, I'm Syria. Take on hesbolah,
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 26: come on, that's.
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 17: Saturday, ridiculous. Syria's got no no m me. So what
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 17: do you think about Russia and Ukraine? I don't know, Pete,
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 17: i'veeel like, uh, in five years we'll be having the
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 17: same conversation. Are you surprised that's gone on this long?
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 26: I'm surprised, I really get. This is where we've disagreed.
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 26: I think that Ukraine has made a value effort. I mean,
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 26: nobody ever would have thought.
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 17: We don't disagree. No, no, no, no, we don't disagree.
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 17: They made a valiant effort. They have embarrassed, They've embarrassed putin.
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 17: All I've said all along is they can't win because
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 17: of attrition, because the Russians have more people, more weaponry,
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 17: and more money. So eventually, whether it's a year, five years,
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 17: or ten years, the Russians may suffer a ton of casualties,
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 17: and they are, and Ukraine may put up an incredible
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 17: fight and they are. But there's no realistic path to
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 17: Ukrainian win, is all I've said.
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 26: Well, there is. If the United States and Europe sticks
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 26: with Ukraine, I think they can force Russia into submission,
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 26: not that they're going to be defeated per se, but
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 26: they will make a deal which is in everyone benefit,
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 26: especially Ukraine. If you can't expect Ukraine, I mean this
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 26: is back centuries, That's what I'm saying. There's a history
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 26: of all these things. There's no way the Ukrainian people,
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 26: after all this, are going to make these great concessions
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 26: to Russia, which will just mean that Russia is going
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 26: to take over the country. That's why when they had
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 26: explosion in the Oval office, when Zewinsky said to Evans,
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 26: who I'm not crazy about that, you know, we have
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 26: to have some security forces to guarantee that there is
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 26: an agreement, Russia's not gonna violate it. And they then,
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 26: of course, you know, events were crazy yelling at Salinski.
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 26: The fact is that Ukraine, whether Ukraine, any of these countries,
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 26: and any of them many of their long histories, and
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 26: if Russia does win, it, does we take over Ukraine.
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 26: Then they're going to have influence in Poland, They're gonna
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 26: have influence in countries like France and Germany and others
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 26: are gonna steal their economies more toward Russia. So I
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 26: think it's if Ukraine is willing to fight, it's not
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 26: for us to tell them that they can't fight since
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 26: they're fighting for the same cause we're fighting for.
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 17: Yeah, it's true. Well, let's get to New York City.
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 17: First of all, what a terrible story in your county
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 17: about this guy. This is terrible. He met his wife
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 17: and his sister in law on the same day. I
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 17: think it was back in twenty sixteen, and according to reports,
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 17: he married the sister. But he always had this really
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 17: odd fascination with the sister in law. And it turns
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 17: out that he calls her. He says, listen, I need
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 17: help moving a piano. She comes over, He comes up
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 17: from behind her, he attacks her, He rapes her I
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 17: think he raped when she was alive and dead, strangles
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 17: her to death. I mean, look, you guys are the
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 17: safest county in the world thanks to people like you
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 17: and Cairo and Bruce and Ryder and Anne Donnelly, all
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 17: those great people. But you've got some of the weirdest
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 17: and nastiest crimes. This is a horrible story.
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 26: It's absolutely horrible. My understanding is that after he completed
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 26: all his horror, he calmly called the police and basically
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 26: shown himself.
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 17: In He did yeah, yeah.
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 26: You know like you said, I don't know if you
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 26: can describe that to Nationville County or just too always
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 26: going to be someng wackos in human nature. Have to
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 26: now make a concession to you. He only lives about
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 26: a mile or so away from the Gilgo murderers. Oh
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 26: something in the water out there.
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 17: Wait, he's in massive peak with two Yeah.
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 26: But yeah, actually north memesipeak.
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 17: Oh my god, so you got the Gilgo killer. You've
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 17: got this maniac and Brian kill me.
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 26: Right, and they're both instituents of mine, right and up
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 26: the trail to me. Brian killing me. He's the most
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 26: dangerous person in that whole area.
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 17: But oh my god, how is my girl, Janine Driscoll doing.
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 26: She's doing fine, and she's really doing well. She had
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 26: big fundraiser last night. She's really uh, she's working hard.
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 26: And that race is one which I think is gonna
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 26: be under the radar for a while. But I expect
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 26: Janine to win. She's what everyone wants in the candidate.
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 26: She's honest, she's hard working, she's from the neighborhood. She's
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 26: a regular and yet extremely intelligent. She's a big lawyer.
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 26: She's arguing facing before the United States Court of Appeals.
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 26: She's an elected official, but elected twice as received from taxes.
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 26: And you know, people say received for taxes, what's the
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 26: big deal. That's what al Demato was. That's how he
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 26: started his career as received for taxes. Don Clayvin, who
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 26: became the supervisor later, he was a receiver of taxes.
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 26: And so that's a key positioning. You're dealing with people
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 26: all the time. You have your finger on the pulse.
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 26: She's got a great family as the son of the
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 26: NYPD and I told you the only negative mark is
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 26: one of her sons, who was a football player, broke
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 26: Joe Cairo's collar bonus something when Joe was reughinging again
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 26: kidding and they collided. Yeah, and now Joe didn't know that,
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 26: you know, when was nominated Jodanova, he didn't find out
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 26: later on was put him in.
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 17: Oh that's funny. And uh, the other guy, Michael Petrie,
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 17: was in these studios just two days ago, Monday morning,
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 17: my first day back, La Petrie was here and he
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 17: on even lost by three points last time to Tom Swazi.
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 17: So there's a reason to believe that he'll do even
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 17: better this time. And if he does he's gonna win.
• 2:08:51
  Speaker 26: Yeah, Michael Petrie, that was the RaSE two years ago.
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 26: For the most part, we overlooked it. We're really focusing
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 26: on Anthony, Yes Posito. That was all the effort, and
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 26: that Mike was look upon just as a guy who
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 26: was almost like filling in making the race and then
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 26: an election. I got two and a half points, at
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 26: three points, he lost by so No. The feeling is
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 26: that with a concerted effort, and he's a hard worker.
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 26: He's everywhere, he's all over the place, and he got
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 26: a lot of help in Vicky Palladino and Queens and
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 26: of course so Cairo carried it in the Nassau County,
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 26: Jesse gots here and in Suffolk. But Mike does it.
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 21: He's a hard worker, he's out there, and I think
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 21: he's going to win. I certainly think Janeta is going
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 21: to win. And Bruce is going to run extremely well
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 21: on Long Island. I've seen poles where he's doing exceptionally
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 21: well on Long Island and he's going to I still
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 21: believe strongly Bruce is going to be our next governor.
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 21: But I just wish Republicans would stop saying he should
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 21: be doing this, he should be doing that. Believe me,
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 21: he's doing everything. He's working at it, and we don't
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 21: need the naysays making excuses he was. He's right now
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 21: closer to Hoko and these element was four years ago
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 21: and the league only lost by six points. Bruce can
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 21: make that up, and not easily. We can certainly make
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 21: it up at this stage against the lower current, who
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 21: was a very popular county executive, he was further behind
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 21: than he is now. So he's going everywhere and he's
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 21: building up support and he's running really in any ways,
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 21: a different type campaign. He's appealing to all different groups
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 21: and organizations. He's in every community. You follow him on Facebook,
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 21: He's every upstate county, he's all over New York City,
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 21: so Carol can be the meeting. Last week we had
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 21: all of the local.
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 26: Republican elected officials and leaders, community leaders in the room.
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 26: Bruce has the support. He's going to do it, and
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 26: I think all of us hopefully when Bruce becomes governor,
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 26: he will in us lead log of a ball. Won't
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 26: forget about us, you know, you won't to say.
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 17: Not Bruce, and I agree with you. I get that too.
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 17: From Republicans. You're like, well, he's not in Utica enough.
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 17: He's not in Syracuse enough. Shut up, He's in all
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 17: those places all the time. You're clearly not following what
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 17: he does on a daily basis. He's actually done an
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 17: amazing job. Still doing a great job as a Nashau
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 17: County executive right and also campaigning for governor. But of
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 17: course he is set up to succeed with people like
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 17: you and Joe and all the fine folks in Nashau
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 17: County around him as always, Pete King, amazing job. I
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 17: love you. Thank you so much.
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 26: Okay, you got graduations at the Hall of Fame.

• 2:11:22
  Speaker 17: thank you, buddy. Pete King right there, Happy birthday to
• 2:11:25

• 2:11:28
  Speaker 17: know he loves you too. Almost about to say, look,
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 17: he loves you too. He also loves a lot of
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 17: that alternative music that you and I love. So we'll
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 17: come back, we'll play a song for Sean. We're about
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 17: to wrap things up.
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 17: Well you might bought up initially, was it, Matt meanee
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 17: well it was mean, and then then it was you,
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 17: and then Lewis Okay, great show today. You know, I
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 17: started out early this morning in my I do this
• 2:12:01
  Speaker 17: all the time. I apologize today July first July. Well
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 17: here ready, how about that six years ago today, July first,
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 17: twenty twenty. This is the third time I'm saying it today.
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 17: I promise that said, but my dad passed away. So
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 17: I started off this morning saying, I'm going to dedicate
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 17: the show to my father today. I had a good
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 17: cry at about it. I think it was eight o'clock hour, right,
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 17: which Lowry sent me a nice message. He's got a
• 2:12:30
  Speaker 17: buddy named Mark Green, not the guy that ran for mayor,
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 17: who listens every day, and he said, man, so I
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 17: felt about my father listening to Sid. It's not exclusive
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 17: to me. Of course, I loved one passing away mom, dad, child,
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 17: whatever it may be. But I just don't get over
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 17: stuff that quickly, you know. I just I'm having a
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 17: hard time with this one. I ask your dad, dude,
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 17: it makes sense. Yeah, But I know people have lost
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 17: parents and they don't cry every time the day pops up.
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 17: I'm just well, I'm just a better person, more sensitive.
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 17: What can I tell you I don't know. Well, you
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 17: said all the time.
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 10: It doesn't get any easier.
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 17: It really doesn't. It does on a daily basis, you know.
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 17: And Gnol was great on this show. He just lost
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 17: his father what about a year ago.
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 18: Yeah, And you know I was having feeling the same
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 18: way you are now.
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 19: You know, like you have all these great things happening
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 19: to you, and there's nobody else who enjoys it more
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 19: than your mom and dad. That just it'll never be
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 19: that way, right, Everybody around you is going to congratulate
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 19: you and be happy. I mean, my wife has been
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 19: around for I'm not suggesting she doesn't, but I'm saying
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 19: there's nothing like the pride.
• 2:13:41
  Speaker 18: Or you know of a parent. You know, it's just
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 18: just awesome.
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 19: And I had that moment last week when my youngest
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 19: one graduated and he had had a tough time starting
• 2:13:48
  Speaker 19: out in high school, and I was thinking, oh my god,
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 19: my father would have loved this moment, not even necessarily
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 19: to be at the graduation, but just to see it happen,
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 19: you know, here that it happened.
• 2:13:57
  Speaker 18: And I was like, ah, you know, just you did

• 2:14:36
  Speaker 17: me such a beautiful life. But I may be losing
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 17: this battle. And if I do lose this battle, I
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 17: just want you to know that I love you. And
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 17: my mother took that text and framed it. So when
• 2:14:53
