  Speaker 3: Congratulations especially to Sid Rosenberg on his induction to the
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame. I can't believe
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: he didn't make it years ago. Today, Sid forever joins
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: a roll call of some of the greatest legends in
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: the history of New York broadcasting and talk radio. the
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: best in the business, and he's the best in the business.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Over many years, Sid has distinguished himself as one of
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: the most authentic and recognizable voices in American airwaves. And
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: he's built a smart, loyal, gigantic audience. And I happen
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: to be one of those people in the audience. And
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I had for a long time, long before I became president.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: Hi, Mr.
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: Mamdani, how are you? It's me, Stephanie Ben Shmuel.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: You remember me?
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: Remember last year when Trump freed the hostages?
• 0:58
  Speaker 6: It's all because of you.
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: We have so much anti-Semitism.
• 1:02
  Speaker 6: I can't believe you're in it. Don't push me. Don't
• 1:04
  Speaker 6: push me.
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: I can't believe that you're in a Jewish store before
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: Rosh Hashanah. You're causing all the anti-Semitism. You're not the
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: ambassador for America. Shame on you for coming to Borough
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: Park where my bubby came after the Holocaust. My bubby
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: and Zaydi came to Borough Park.
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: You have such chutzpah coming here. Your mom's there. Shame
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: on you.
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: Stop the anti-Semitism. You have all the power to stop anti-Semitism.
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: I'm begging you to do it. I'm begging you as
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, stop the anti-Semitism. All you're
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: doing is focusing on Israel and bringing more hate to
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: the Jewish people.
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: Help us and stop it. You didn't even march in
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: the Israel Day parade.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: Everybody here supports Israel.
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: It's ours from the Torah. I'm Yisrael Chai, and I'm
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: from Yitzhak. Shame on you, Mamdani. Shame on you to
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: come to a Jewish store. I'm the lady that called out.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: The list of wisdom in Holocaust Memorial Park.
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: She did nothing for us and neither did you. Don't
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: push me. I made a purchase here.
• 2:19
  Speaker 7: I'm a customer.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: Until the owner tells.
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: Me to step outside. Are you a kapo? Are you
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: supporting him?
• 2:27
  Speaker 8: Do you support Israel?
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: Do you support Israel? Do you? You support Israel. Then
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: why is he here?
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: All he wants to do is arrest Bibi Netanyahu.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: Shame on you. Remember, we're all watching you. We're watching
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: your nonsense. You're in Borough Park.
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: Don't push me. I'm not violent, and I have no
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: weapons on me. Hi, Heshy Tischler. Hi, Nachum Collar. Don't
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: push me. You're hurting me. Don't push me.
• 2:57
  Speaker 9: You're hurting me.
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: Don't push me.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: Mamdani is in Borough Park.
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: Do you see that?
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Trying to talk to Mayor Mamdani is like trying to
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: talk to the IRGC, okay? This guy is a terrorist.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: That's the bottom line. I'll say it. You don't want
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: to say it. I'll say it. He's a terrorist. He's
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: a jihadist. He hates the Jewish people. He hates America.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: He hates the Italian people. He hates the Irish people.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: He hates the German people. Unless you're Muslim, Mayor Mamdani
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: has no use for you.
• 3:23
  Speaker 10: I was invited as a guest, and I always.
• 3:26
  Speaker 11: wear the appropriate attire, whether I'm going to a temple,
• 3:30
  Speaker 11: whether I'm going to an Orthodox community, whether I'm going
• 3:32
  Speaker 11: into a Catholic church in the Vatican.
• 3:35
  Speaker 12: Bruce Blakeman is calling it inappropriate. In a social media
• 3:39
  Speaker 12: post with a photo captioned, Hijab Hochul, Kathy's latest costume,
• 3:43
  Speaker 12: whatever the audience wants, he calls it political pandering and
• 3:47
  Speaker 12: tone deaf, less than two weeks before the 25th anniversary
• 3:50
  Speaker 12: of 9-11. Hochul was inside this Upper East Side Islamic
• 3:54
  Speaker 12: Cultural Center building Friday. touring its community spaces and covering
• 3:59
  Speaker 12: her head while in the space for worship. It's not
• 4:01
  Speaker 12: unusual for the governor or for any non-Muslim woman to do.
• 4:05
  Speaker 12: She wore one in 2022 while visiting a mosque in
• 4:08
  Speaker 12: Ronkonkoma that had been attacked. And at last year's funeral,
• 4:11
  Speaker 12: her NYPD officer did a rule Islam. She says it's
• 4:14
  Speaker 12: simply respect.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: If he has a problem with that, that says a
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: lot more about him.
• 4:19
  Speaker 10: Than it does to anybody else.
• 4:21
  Speaker 12: The head of New York's Council on American Islamic Relations
• 4:24
  Speaker 12: says Blakeman himself covered his head on a visit to
• 4:27
  Speaker 12: a Sikh temple to be respectful, and that making this
• 4:29
  Speaker 12: about being close to 9-11 is troubling.
• 4:32
  Speaker 13: He should not try to link any type of threat
• 4:35
  Speaker 13: towards Muslims. 9-11 here, given the fact that we are
• 4:38
  Speaker 13: in mourning just like every other New Yorker and American.
• 4:41
  Speaker 12: Blakeman has since said his statement was not an attack
• 4:44
  Speaker 12: on the Muslim community and that he too regularly visits
• 4:47
  Speaker 12: mosques in his role as Nassau County executive. But he
• 4:51
  Speaker 12: also said in an interview with Newsday that for the governor,
• 4:54
  Speaker 12: wearing a hijab and calling herself a feminist are two
• 4:57
  Speaker 12: things that don't go together.
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: I just love it when men lecture women about whether
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: or not they're a feminist.
• 5:02
  Speaker 13: Sense of equal rights is making the choice to wear
• 5:04
  Speaker 13: a hijab or not. So him attacking her choice to
• 5:07
  Speaker 13: wear a hijab and Muslim women's choice to wear a
• 5:10
  Speaker 13: hijab is actually what is disempowering and anti-feminist.
• 5:14
  Speaker 8: Sid Rosenberg is going to be hosting the Giants pregame
• 5:17
  Speaker 8: show on Sunday at 1130 in the morning outside the
• 5:21
  Speaker 8: bubble at Giants Stadium. Go out and beat the hell
• 5:24
  Speaker 8: out of Sid. You know, MSNBC has just flashed on
• 5:27
  Speaker 8: my screen. It looks like there is a A plane
• 5:32
  Speaker 8: has crashed into the World Trade Center?
• 5:34
  Speaker 14: When I arrived home, I found a message on our phone.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Hey, Mom, it's Brad.
• 5:39
  Speaker 14: And it was a message that Brad left me.
• 5:42
  Speaker 15: I just wanted to call and let you know I'm
• 5:44
  Speaker 15: sure that you heard that a plane crashed into World
• 5:46
  Speaker 15: Trade Center 1. We're fine. We're in World Trade Center 2.
• 5:50
  Speaker 15: I'm not, you know, obviously alive and well over here.
• 5:54
  Speaker 15: But obviously a pretty scary experience.
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: I saw a guy.
• 5:58
  Speaker 15: Fall out of probably the 91st story all the way down.
• 6:02
  Speaker 15: So you're welcome to give a call here. I think
• 6:06
  Speaker 15: we'll be here all day. But give me.
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: A call back later. Love you.
• 6:12
  Speaker 14: But I still think at the time I was hoping
• 6:14
  Speaker 14: that he would have gotten out and we just stayed
• 6:18
  Speaker 14: home hoping for a call. We found Brad's journal after
• 6:22
  Speaker 14: he died and on the first page it said you
• 6:25
  Speaker 14: can tell the character of a man by what he
• 6:28
  Speaker 14: does for the man who can offer him nothing. And
• 6:31
  Speaker 14: that's really how Brad lived his life.
• 6:34
  Speaker 16: The New York Times is reporting that President Trump wanted
• 6:36
  Speaker 16: to attend the memorial at Ground Zero to honor the
• 6:39
  Speaker 16: 25th anniversary of 9-11. He allegedly decided against it when
• 6:42
  Speaker 16: organizers wouldn't.
• 6:43
  Speaker 17: Allow him to speak.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: The White House pushes back on that.
• 6:47
  Speaker 16: As we say, though, this is the 25th anniversary of
• 6:49
  Speaker 16: that awful day. In Rockland County, one of the counties
• 6:51
  Speaker 16: you represent, a memorial honors the 81 people from that
• 6:55
  Speaker 16: county who died that day. Are you disappointed that the
• 6:58
  Speaker 16: President of the United States will not be at Ground
• 7:01
  Speaker 16: Zero on 9-11?
• 7:03
  Speaker 18: No elected official has ever spoken at the Ground Zero ceremonies.
• 7:09
  Speaker 18: And I know the president will be speaking at the
• 7:12
  Speaker 18: Pentagon and attending the ceremony there. He was at Ground
• 7:15
  Speaker 18: Zero last year. I do think he should be in
• 7:18
  Speaker 18: New York. And I did express that to the White House.
• 7:22
  Speaker 18: I do think it is important, but ultimately he will
• 7:25
  Speaker 18: be going to the Pentagon. I'm going to be attending
• 7:28
  Speaker 18: 9-11 ceremonies all throughout my district. My district continues to
• 7:32
  Speaker 18: be heavily impacted by 9-11 health-related illnesses. I was proud
• 7:37
  Speaker 18: of the fact that in this Congress— I help lead
• 7:40
  Speaker 18: the effort to fully fund the World Trade Center Health
• 7:43
  Speaker 18: Fund and make sure that our 9-11 heroes get the
• 7:46
  Speaker 18: support that they need. And I will always stand up
• 7:49
  Speaker 18: for our 9-11 families.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Understood.
• 7:51
  Speaker 16: What message does it send, though, to those 9-11 families,
• 7:53
  Speaker 16: including from the district that you represent, that the president
• 7:56
  Speaker 16: will not be at ground zero.
• 7:58
  Speaker 18: The heart of that awful day? Well, look, he is
• 8:02
  Speaker 18: going to be at the Pentagon. Obviously, we lost lives
• 8:04
  Speaker 18: there as well. And I know the vice president will
• 8:11
  Speaker 18: be there. Peter, I know the vice president will be there. Obviously,
• 8:16
  Speaker 18: every American, regardless of party, cares deeply about what happened
• 8:21
  Speaker 18: on 9-11.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Except, of course, some.
• 8:24
  Speaker 18: Who say that America deserved 9-11. which frankly, I think
• 8:28
  Speaker 18: is unbecoming. And anybody who supports that type of rhetoric, frankly,
• 8:33
  Speaker 18: it's disqualifying to be in public office.
• 8:36
  Speaker 19: Most interesting element of this upcoming visit is not this Trumpism.
• 8:41
  Speaker 19: I'm not getting carried away. I'm past my teenage years,
• 8:44
  Speaker 19: but rather to watch what happens between these two brothers,
• 8:46
  Speaker 19: which I'm going to be very curious to see. Of course,
• 8:50
  Speaker 19: in the political arena, there is a big brouhaha in
• 8:53
  Speaker 19: response to this visit. Some kind of blowhard, Sid Rosenberg,
• 8:56
  Speaker 19: published a tweet saying, this is a huge mistake. The
• 8:59
  Speaker 19: rabbi's a terrible guy and there's no right being anywhere
• 9:01
  Speaker 19: near POTUS. This rabbi sucks off New York City mayor
• 9:03
  Speaker 19: at every opportunity and has more than once screwed the
• 9:06
  Speaker 19: good Jews. Come on, Marty, you can't do this, please.
• 9:09
  Speaker 19: I kill this guy and Rabbi Indig on my show.
• 9:13
  Speaker 19: I can't stand political language. This is not my thing.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: This is not my world.
• 9:16
  Speaker 19: I should stay out of this. But Kol Ho Olam,
• 9:18
  Speaker 19: which is an Orthodox media, sent a tweet saying Trump's
• 9:23
  Speaker 19: planned visit with six rabbis and a Rosh Hashiva is
• 9:25
  Speaker 19: on shaky ground, with Trump allies Laura Loomer and Sid
• 9:28
  Speaker 19: Rosenberg urging him to cancel it, and several rabbis are
• 9:31
  Speaker 19: reluctant to spend a day in D.C., so close to
• 9:33
  Speaker 19: Rosh Hashanah. Reports say the meeting may be called off.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: What a great job this young lady did yesterday. Most
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: of you out there don't know who she is, but
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: if you're Jewish, you certainly do, because... She's had all
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: these big events and she's been out there stumping for
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman for quite some time. And she went to
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: this Eichler's, I guess that's what it's called. I don't
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: even know. It's some Judea. bookstore in Borough Park, Brooklyn.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: I guess she got wind that that's where Mamdani was
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: going to be yesterday. You guys remember yesterday I said,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: what are these people doing between the White House today
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: hosting Rabbi Teitelbaum, horrible rabbi from the Satmar community, And
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Mamdani and Borough Park, you guys heard me on this
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: show yesterday going nuts. And then I produced a tweet
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: late yesterday afternoon saying the same thing I said on
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: the air. What in God's name are my people doing? Seriously.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Whether it's the Satmars or Borough Park, what are my
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: people doing? So I guess Stephanie Ben-Shemal caught wind that
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Mamdani was going to be at this particular store. in
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Borough Park, and she went, and she just started yelling
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: and screaming. Now, you've got to watch the video, because
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: in the video, Mayor Mamdani is literally right behind her.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Right behind her. Not like she's yelling and screaming, and
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: he's not there. He's there. And some guy, looks like
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: an Orthodox Jew, is trying to quiet Stephanie down. She
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: wants no part of it. In fact, she got louder.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: So he can't quiet her down. Then they start to
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: usher Mamdani away from her because, again, they were very,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: very close in terms of proximity. And while he was
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: even leaving, I guess, or making his way to the
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: front of the store, she continued to yell and scream.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: And two or three times she goes, don't push me.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Don't touch me. I purchased something here. I'm a customer.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Don't touch me. All in all, I thought it was...
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: One of the most entertaining videos I've ever seen of
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: an influencer, whatever you want to call her, showing up
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: at the scene. That was the scene yesterday and giving
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: us about the best possible reporting you can get. So
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: throughout yesterday, Norm, you can imagine how many people sent
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: me this video. I said, I know Stephanie very well.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: I know her. Turns out, if you don't know this,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: that Stephanie is a huge Sid Rosenberg fan. Of course
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: she is. Loves this show. She's very excited to come
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: on coming up at about 7.55 this morning. So I
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: was getting texts from family members and friends from New
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: York to Miami to Israel sending me this video. I
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: think you'd agree, Nolan, that's a heck of a job
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: by Stephanie.
• 12:34
  Speaker 20: I was one of the many people who sent it
• 12:36
  Speaker 20: to you.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, you did.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:38
  Speaker 11: Yeah, it's very entertaining to watch, but I was showing
• 12:42
  Speaker 11: it to my wife last night, and she said, but
• 12:44
  Speaker 11: he still has that stupid smile on his.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Face, the mayor. Why wouldn't he? I mean, look how
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: these people bent over backwards yesterday. They were so nice
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: to him. Rolled out the red carpet. Does anybody in
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: that store know that his wife... celebrated images of young
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: girls being raped, of babies being murdered, of elderly people
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: murdered in their own homes, of parents forced to watch
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: their children have sex before they were killed? Does anybody
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: in Borough Park care? Like, what am I missing here, Noam? Seriously.
• 13:18
  Speaker 11: I don't get it either. And this is a well-known
• 13:20
  Speaker 11: book store. It's not like it's new. It's been around
• 13:22
  Speaker 11: in the neighborhood for a while.
• 13:24
  Speaker 20: I don't understand. It's a question you have to ask
• 13:26
  Speaker 20: people who own the book store.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: But what are they going to say? I'll tell you
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: what they're going to say. There's a guy named Joel Petlin,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: and he was very upset with me when I said
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: the things I said about Rabbi Teitelbaum from the Satmar community.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: It was me and Laura Loomer, the two of us.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: We got a lot, and I mean a lot, of,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: I guess, exposure a couple of days ago. Laura told
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: me about this story in Las Vegas, and I went nuts.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: I went nuts. What do you mean the president's going
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: to meet with Rabbi Teitelbaum? I know that Rabbi Teitelbaum
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: and these Satmar people do vote for Trump. I know that.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: But they endorse Democrats all day long. All day long.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: And they love Mamdani. They love him. In fact, that community,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: those rabbis, they're going to vote for Kathy Hochul, not
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blankman. And they're probably going to vote against Mike Lawler, too.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: So these guys are no friend of ours, Rabbi Teitelbaum.
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: So.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Laura Loomer tells me about this story, and I go
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: nuts about that. And then, of course, you have this
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: thing in Borough Park. You are familiar, Noam, with Heshy Tischler, yes?
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Now, who is Heshy Tischler exactly?
• 14:39
  Speaker 11: He's also somebody that likes to, you know, talk out
• 14:43
  Speaker 11: and stir up.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: But he stirs the pot. But does he have a responsibility,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: some type of financial responsibility to that community, the Orthodox
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Jewish community?
• 14:51
  Speaker 20: That I don't know.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Because he was able to interview Mayor Mamdani yesterday in
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Borough Park.
• 14:57
  Speaker 20: Oh, he did when he was at the bookstore?
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 14:59
  Speaker 20: I didn't see that.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: I'm going to play it for you right now. Lewis,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: this is cut number three. Heshy Tischler interviewing Mayor Mamdani
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: about a bunch of, it sounds like Jewish business interests,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: where he believes the mayor is purposely stabbing the Jews
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: in the back. This is Heshy Tischler, cut number three. Hello, Mr.
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: Mayor.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 15:20
  Speaker 21: I'm just going to finish talking, but I will come back.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Good to see you again. Good to see you, Mr.
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: Mayor.
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 15:25
  Speaker 21: You're looking great.
• 15:26
  Speaker 10: You lost a few pounds.
• 15:28
  Speaker 21: One question.
• 15:29
  Speaker 10: We're not after the tour.
• 15:31
  Speaker 21: Okay.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: You keep your word.
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 15:34
  Speaker 22: Mr.
• 15:34
  Speaker 21: Mayor, first of all, it happened to be my wife's
• 15:37
  Speaker 21: anniversary today, and she still let me come see the mayor.
• 15:40
  Speaker 10: Because you're more important. Thank you so much.
• 15:42
  Speaker 21: 38 years, 21 foster.
• 15:44
  Speaker 10: Kids, three kids, eight grandchildren.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Just had two. Thank you so much, Mr.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: Mayor.
• 15:48
  Speaker 10: You're way ahead of me.
• 15:50
  Speaker 21: I'll be way ahead of your weight.
• 15:51
  Speaker 7: Mr.
• 15:52
  Speaker 21: Mayor, I'm an activist in this community for over 40 years.
• 15:55
  Speaker 21: So a lot of our friends come to you with
• 15:57
  Speaker 21: foolish little questions to make you happy. But I'm here
• 16:00
  Speaker 21: to fight the city because I know directly from inspectors
• 16:03
  Speaker 21: and supervisors that I fight constantly. that we were told,
• 16:06
  Speaker 21: and I've seen a couple of texts and emails, that
• 16:08
  Speaker 21: there's directives from the mayoral office, from City Hall, that
• 16:12
  Speaker 21: you are sending your inspectors to violate us, issue frivolous violations,
• 16:16
  Speaker 21: such as the Department of Sanitation, the DOB and the DOT,
• 16:20
  Speaker 21: and most importantly, HPD, which I personally fight.
• 16:23
  Speaker 10: Now you're going to say to me, Hesha, how do
• 16:24
  Speaker 10: you know this?
• 16:25
  Speaker 21: Because this is what I do. And I'm in court
• 16:27
  Speaker 21: and I fight the inspectors on video every day. The
• 16:30
  Speaker 21: directive that's coming out of your office is incorrect. And
• 16:32
  Speaker 21: I've seen it shutting down hundreds of jobs, costing us
• 16:35
  Speaker 21: millions of dollars.
• 16:36
  Speaker 10: I know we have a $ 5.
• 16:37
  Speaker 21: 5 billion budget to cover.
• 16:39
  Speaker 10: And I think you're doing pretty good with that.
• 16:41
  Speaker 21: My question to you is, we've got to sit down
• 16:43
  Speaker 21: with these commissioners and inspectors and teach them to stop
• 16:46
  Speaker 21: violating this beautiful area.
• 16:50
  Speaker 10: We follow the rules.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: We follow our agencies.
• 16:52
  Speaker 21: But your agencies, even your business licenses, are giving us
• 16:56
  Speaker 21: a hard time getting our licenses. Instead of two or
• 16:59
  Speaker 21: three months, they're taking nine months.
• 17:00
  Speaker 10: So let me say this.
• 17:01
  Speaker 21: That's why I wanted to sit down with you.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that.
• 17:03
  Speaker 21: And ask you to please help me with your commissioners
• 17:05
  Speaker 21: to stop this.
• 17:06
  Speaker 10: I appreciate that. What I'm going to do is I'm
• 17:07
  Speaker 10: going to give you a card from one of my teams.
• 17:10
  Speaker 23: And if you can send any of the things that
• 17:12
  Speaker 23: you say are frivolous violations.
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: And show them to you.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: Because that is not at all what we actually want
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: to see.
• 17:17
  Speaker 10: This is Rabbi Miriam Grossman. If you can send it
• 17:19
  Speaker 10: to her email, I would love to see those. We
• 17:21
  Speaker 10: have zero interest in frivolous.
• 17:22
  Speaker 21: And I will show you hundreds of them, which I
• 17:24
  Speaker 21: fight and I beat you all the time, by the way.
• 17:26
  Speaker 10: And I'd still like that 10-minute interview. That will get
• 17:29
  Speaker 10: back to you.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: You got it. Thank you, Mr.
• 17:31
  Speaker 19: Mayor.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Happy holidays. Thank you. Linda, her name is Linda.
• 17:33
  Speaker 10: Happy anniversary, Linda and Shana Tova.
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: Thank you.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Shana Tova.
• 17:36
  Speaker 20: He's got that down.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Heshy Tisler actually said to Mayor Mamdani, happy holidays.
• 17:41
  Speaker 11: He was the one that led all those COVID protests
• 17:44
  Speaker 11: during lockdown, right?
• 17:45
  Speaker 24: Yes.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Same guy. And I think he gets smacked around every
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: once in a while like he's been... I think he's
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: been physically violated more than once publicly, and I've met
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: him a couple of times. He's a nice guy, you know.
• 17:55
  Speaker 20: I think he has a radio show, if I'm not mistaken.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: I think he does, too, yes. So I guess he's
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: trying to get a lot of Jewish people their business licenses,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: and he feels like the Orthodox community, the Jews, are
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: being targeted by the mayor— that' s what it sounded like to
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: me— and the administration, and that they're not above board when
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: it comes to the Jews, right? So while Heshy Tischler
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: was very, very nice, you lost weight, you look great.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Happy holidays. You've done a great job with the budget.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: It sounded to me like Heshy was saying, hey, Mr. Mayor,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: stop epping the Jews.
• 18:31
  Speaker 11: Well, it sounds like maybe they're enforcing some rules that
• 18:33
  Speaker 11: maybe weren't enforced before.
• 18:35
  Speaker 20: Is that possible?
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Either that or enforcing rules exclusive to the Jews that
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: they don't for everybody else. That's what it sounded like
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: to me. But maybe we'll get Heshy Tisler on. Either way,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: it was a big day with the mayor in Borough Park, Brooklyn, yesterday.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: And as a Jewish boy myself, I've been to Borough
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Park many, many times. The guy that ran that area
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: for the longest time was Dov Hyken. He now lives
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: in the five towns, but he was Mr. Borough Park.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: I just don't understand what I'm seeing. Satmar rabbi sitting
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: with President Trump today. Now, I've heard a couple of
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: different versions of what's going to happen. The meeting has
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: not been canceled. These rabbis will meet with President Trump
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: at some point today. But I was told that they're
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: actually going to just get like a 30-second photo op
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: and have no real time for discussion. Title bomb, I heard,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: wanted five minutes. And Trump and his people were like, no,
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: that's not going to happen. So I don't know exactly
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: how much time these rabbis are going to have with
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: President Trump. At one point, they talked about a roundtable discussion.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's going to happen either. So in
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: terms of actual talk time, I've reached out to Rabbi
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Yehuda Kaplan and others trying to find out exactly what's
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: going to happen, and I've got no answer yet. So
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: I can't tell you that, but the rabbis are meeting
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: with President Trump today, including Rabbi Teitelbaum and him and
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: that Rabbi Indig in the Satmar community are two people,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: as a Jew, I'm not very proud of. And then
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: you get this meeting in Borough Park with the mayor,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: not very proud of that. So as a Jewish boy
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: from Brooklyn, Dover, almost called you, Noam, yesterday, not a
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: very happy day for me.
• 20:20
  Speaker 11: Well, some of this is all about delivering votes, right?
• 20:23
  Speaker 11: I mean, the president wants to meet with the leaders
• 20:25
  Speaker 11: of the Satmar community because the Satmar community will look
• 20:29
  Speaker 11: at him and say, hey, if you can promise us
• 20:30
  Speaker 11: this and that and this and that, we'll deliver this
• 20:33
  Speaker 11: many thousands of votes during the midterms, right, or in
• 20:36
  Speaker 11: future elections. Same holds true for Mayor Mamdani when he
• 20:39
  Speaker 11: heads to that neighborhood, right?
• 20:40
  Speaker 20: I mean, they tend to all vote the same way.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: It's weird, though, because some of the Orthodox Jews will
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: only vote Republican for people like Trump. But then I
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: guess local elections, it's different.
• 20:54
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Like I told you, this guy, Joel Petlin, who reached
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: out to me, gets very upset when I attacked the
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Satmar community. He goes, he's still the mayor. My response was,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: so what? So Hitler was in charge too in Germany.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: So does that mean that you abide by what Hitler
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: said or you buddy up to Hitler because he was
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: in charge? Why do I care what his position is?
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: He doesn't like us. He's proven that time and time again.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Time and time again. So who cares that he's the mayor?
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: That's always their excuse. Well, he is the mayor.
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: So what?
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: There have been a lot of leaders along the way
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: in the United States and in the history of this
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: world that were quote-unquote leaders once. That we're bad people.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Is that not fair to say, though? Yeah. So what
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: does that mean when Joel Petlin, whoever he is, says
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: to me he's the mayor, either do I, but I
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: guess he represents the Satmar community. Well, he is the mayor.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: What do I care? Wipe your ass with that. Bill
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: de Blasio was the mayor, too. That punk was the
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: worst mayor before this clown came along.
• 21:56
  Speaker 11: But all these mayors, by the way, so whether they
• 21:59
  Speaker 11: be Republican or Democrat, they go into the Satmar communities,
• 22:02
  Speaker 11: about around 100,000 of them, Each one of them courts
• 22:07
  Speaker 11: this community trying to get their vote.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: I know. I don't get it. Gloria Steinem has died.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: She was 92 years old. The iconic feminist. So, I
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: guess she was Jewish too, right? I don't know about that.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: I think she was. Will you go pay a shiver call, Noam?
• 22:25
  Speaker 20: If you want me to, I will.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, are you upset? How do you feel about this?
• 22:29
  Speaker 20: Look, she for sure was an icon in the feminist movement.
• 22:32
  Speaker 20: No two ways about it. She inspired probably millions of women. So,
• 22:38
  Speaker 20: you know, it's a big deal that she passed away.
• 22:40
  Speaker 20: I'm 92. She had a good run.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: She definitely had a good run. 92 years old, Gloria Steinem.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Rest in peace. All right, let's get to the other
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: major stories happening in the city today. Again, we got
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: a pretty eclectic guest list today. Pretty diverse. It'll be
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun this Thursday morning. So no Bill O'Reilly.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: He was out last week. He's out today. He's on vacation.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: He will return to this program a week from today.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: So don't start texting me, where's Bill, where's Bill? He's
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: on vacation. He's allowed. He'll be back next week. What
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: else is happening in the city today, Noam?
• 23:11
  Speaker 11: You know, we continue to just, I want to go
• 23:13
  Speaker 11: back to the story from Monday where this woman went
• 23:17
  Speaker 11: on a stabbing spree in Times Square. And we're learning
• 23:20
  Speaker 11: more about this 32-year-old yesterday. We told you who she was, Aaron.
• 23:24
  Speaker 11: Pia Sente, who was stabbed to death by this woman
• 23:28
  Speaker 11: who was crazed, who had mental health issues. And now
• 23:31
  Speaker 11: we find out that Monday was her first day back
• 23:35
  Speaker 11: at work after maternity leave.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 23:38
  Speaker 20: Five month old. I mean, the story just gets more
• 23:40
  Speaker 20: horrible by the moment.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: And what's ironic about this is moments ago on New
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: York One, they were boasting about new crime figures that
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: came out. And again, the crime is down. And when
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: they say that, the crime is down, that's a very
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: general statement. Because there are categories, including shootings and murders,
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: where yes, it is down, but there's a lot of
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: violent crime where the numbers are up. So I take
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: offense to crime is down when we're talking about a
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: young lady walking through Times Square stabbed to death.
• 24:14
  Speaker 20: It's just outrageous.
• 24:15
  Speaker 11: So now the family's set up a GoFundMe for this
• 24:17
  Speaker 11: five-month-old daughter, you know, her future daughter.
• 24:20
  Speaker 15: Life.
• 24:20
  Speaker 11: She was a university, the mom, University of Pennsylvania grad.
• 24:24
  Speaker 11: She'd gone to Fordham Law School. I mean, she had
• 24:27
  Speaker 11: her whole life ahead of her. And if you want
• 24:29
  Speaker 11: to get more upset about this story, the New York,
• 24:31
  Speaker 11: you know, so if you didn't follow this story, the
• 24:34
  Speaker 11: alleged stabber, I guess we have to call her, 49-year-old
• 24:36
  Speaker 11: Pamela Cisneros, who stabbed two people, stabbed Piacente to death,
• 24:42
  Speaker 11: and then stabbed a 68-year-old who thankfully survived, was then
• 24:46
  Speaker 11: shot dead by cops in when she started lunging towards them. Well, yesterday,
• 24:51
  Speaker 11: the New York State Attorney General's office said they're going
• 24:54
  Speaker 11: to open an investigation into this, that maybe she shouldn't
• 24:56
  Speaker 11: have been.
• 24:57
  Speaker 20: Shot, which seems amazing. Unbelievable.
• 25:00
  Speaker 11: I mean, the police tased her like three or four times.
• 25:04
  Speaker 11: They spent four or five minutes trying to get her
• 25:06
  Speaker 11: to drop the weapons. And when she did, instigant walking
• 25:09
  Speaker 11: towards them, as police are told, they have to defend themselves.
• 25:12
  Speaker 11: They opened fire on her, killing her. Well, yesterday the
• 25:15
  Speaker 11: Attorney General's office said they're going to open an investigation
• 25:17
  Speaker 11: into this, a special investigation.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Boy, that gets really nauseating after a while, doesn't it?
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Where they hold the cop responsible for killing a bad
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: guy or a bad girl in this case. All right, well,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: the cop did the right thing, and that cop's a hero,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: and this young lady should rest in peace. What a terrible,
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: terrible tragedy. Another real blight, another stench on our city.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: You know, I just reached out to Delaney Kempner. who
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: works with Jessica Tisch, our great police commissioner. And I
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: want to bring Jessica on this week because next Friday
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: is a very, very tough day for the police commissioner
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: here in New York when you have the combination next
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Friday of the 25-year commemoration of 9-11 and all the
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: terrorist threats that go along with it, coupled with the
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: first night of Rosh Hashanah and all the Jewish threats
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: that that we base in this city every day, next Friday,
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: 9-11 and Rosh Hashanah. What a brutal day for Jessica Tisch.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: It looks like she will join me. She will join me.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: That's the good news. But you have to agree, Noam,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: that is a very difficult day next Friday for the NYPD.
• 26:28
  Speaker 20: Yeah, a lot happening at the same time.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: A lot going on. What else is going on here?
• 26:31
  Speaker 20: You know, I don't know if.
• 26:32
  Speaker 11: You saw this, but in Georgia today, and across the country, actually,
• 26:37
  Speaker 11: there's other places this is happening as well, college football
• 26:39
  Speaker 11: plays Under the microscope, because as you may have seen,
• 26:43
  Speaker 11: because of these NIL contracts, these deals where college players
• 26:46
  Speaker 11: can now make salaries, in some cases huge salaries, you
• 26:51
  Speaker 11: have ex-pro football players who don't make the cut on
• 26:55
  Speaker 11: their pro football team going back. or going back to
• 26:59
  Speaker 11: their college teams because they can make more money there,
• 27:01
  Speaker 11: or leaving the NFL because they can make more money
• 27:04
  Speaker 11: on a college football team.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: There's one story in particular that we were made aware
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: of last week where a guy did not make an
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: NFL team, and he wants to go play for Lane
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Kippen and LSU, and LSU took him. Now, I think
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: that the SEC said he can't play for LSU. Either way,
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: college football and college basketball, for the most part, is
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: a mess. And that's why our dear friend, the president
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: of the New York Yankees, Randy Levine, has been employed
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: by President Trump to fix it. You may remember there
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: was a big roundtable discussion at the White House about
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: two months ago. And Randy was there and Marco Rubio,
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Mike Johnson, President Trump and all these amazing sports figures.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Tiger Woods, who was in court yesterday. Urban Meyer, Nick Saban,
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: all these folks were there. And it looks like Randy
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Levine has the brunt of the responsibility to fix it.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: And one of the things he has to fix is
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: exactly what you're talking about, how a kid can try
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: to go to the NFL, and if he doesn't make
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: it or he's staring at a backup position, he can
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: go back to college, get paid more money, and try
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: to be a superstar. It is amazing.
• 28:17
  Speaker 11: So now you have the Georgia attorney general who's involved
• 28:19
  Speaker 11: in this, and he's going to the SEC commissioner.
• 28:22
  Speaker 20: That's the head of one of the leagues in college football.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: That is the best conference in college football.
• 28:27
  Speaker 20: Yeah, by far and away.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Southeast conference, yes.
• 28:29
  Speaker 11: And he is saying you need to stop LSU. LSU
• 28:32
  Speaker 11: has refused to stop to do this. LSU says they
• 28:34
  Speaker 11: will take on NFL players. In fact, they have some
• 28:38
  Speaker 11: former NFL players on their roster for the season. And
• 28:41
  Speaker 11: you have other schools who say they're not going to
• 28:42
  Speaker 11: do this, like University of Georgia. They're not taking NFL players.
• 28:45
  Speaker 20: And they say, wait a minute.
• 28:46
  Speaker 11: No way are college athletes should be playing against former
• 28:50
  Speaker 11: NFL players.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Well, that's the difference between Lane Kiffin, who I like,
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: and you guys who don't follow college football. His Ole
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Miss football team had a great year last year. They
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: were playing in a bowl game, and he deserted them.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: He took the job at LSU, left Ole Miss, didn't
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: even coach in the bowl game. came under a lot
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: of fire. He's a terrific coach. Lane is coach in
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: the National Football League. He's had big years in college football.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: But he ran out on Ole Miss to go coach LSU.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Kirby's smart, on the other hand. He's a Georgia head coach,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: and he's been there forever. So two different guys, two
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: different mindsets. Not surprised to hear one is okay with
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: it and no one is not.
• 29:33
  Speaker 11: Yeah, well, there has to be some general rule through
• 29:37
  Speaker 11: the NCAA that has to make this right.
• 29:39
  Speaker 20: Of course. But why haven't they done that?
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Like I said, they're working on a whole bunch of stuff,
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: you know. That's a good question. And college football really starts. Well,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: games last weekend, but week one really starts this Saturday.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: In fact, the team that won the national championship last year, Indiana,
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: they play this weekend. Rutgers, for our guy Joe Nolan,
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: nearly a 30-point favorite, 29-and-a-half to be exact, hosting UMass
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: later on tonight. They start their season. So we are
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: getting ready for a big week one of college football.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: The NFL starts Saturday. Wednesday night next week, a rematch
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: of last year's Super Bowl with the Patriots and the Seahawks.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Week one of college football really starts this Saturday, and
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: yet it is a complete mess. What else you got?
• 30:25
  Speaker 11: FDNY yesterday rededicating a memorial plaque to honor those who
• 30:30
  Speaker 11: have passed since the 9-11 attacks. And each year, there
• 30:37
  Speaker 11: are so many former firefighters who worked the piles after
• 30:40
  Speaker 11: the 9-11 attacks who've come down with these 9-11-related cancers.
• 30:45
  Speaker 20: And it's just devastating.
• 30:47
  Speaker 11: 36 more names were added of first responders who passed
• 30:50
  Speaker 11: away just this past year. And what's going to be
• 30:53
  Speaker 11: different about the 9-11 ceremonies this year is this year
• 30:57
  Speaker 11: marks the first that a seventh moment of silence will
• 31:01
  Speaker 11: be observed during the 9-11 ceremonies downtown. to recognize those
• 31:06
  Speaker 11: who've passed away from 9-11-related cancers.
• 31:08
  Speaker 20: They haven't done that in the past.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: Also different this year, you've got a radical Islam terrorist
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: mayor who's going to be in attendance. I think that's new, right? Yeah.
• 31:18
  Speaker 20: He's not going anywhere.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: No, he's still going. He's still going. So I'm sorry
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: to Giovanni Galante and Charles Wolfe and Jeanette Pick and
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: all these lovely people who lost loved ones in those
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: buildings on those airplanes that day. But it looks like
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: the mayor doesn't care about you. All he cares about
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: is the photo op, and he can tell everybody, I
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: was down there for these people, I love these people,
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: even though, despite what Sade Baron-Watt said on Channel 7
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: last week, a select number of families, even though the majority...
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: And some will tell you the overwhelming majority of these
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: families don't want the mayor anywhere near that place. He's
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: going to be there. By the way, just like the
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: overwhelming majority of Jews don't want the mayor in Borough Park,
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: but he was there yesterday anyway. He doesn't seem to
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: care what anybody really feels. He just goes about his business.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: But anyway, that is a very sad story about those firefighters,
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: and God bless them, all of them.
• 32:16
  Speaker 11: I should point out to you, you know, the most
• 32:18
  Speaker 11: unfair thing that happened to these 9-11 families, of course,
• 32:21
  Speaker 11: happened 25 years ago.
• 32:22
  Speaker 20: And the fact that the mayor is going to be there, yeah,
• 32:24
  Speaker 20: that's unfair.
• 32:25
  Speaker 11: But nothing's more unfair, of course, than the lives that
• 32:27
  Speaker 11: were lost 25 years ago. But you, and I heard
• 32:31
  Speaker 11: from a number of people who said this over the
• 32:32
  Speaker 11: last couple weeks, you've given them a voice that nobody
• 32:35
  Speaker 11: else has. Yeah, they know in the end they're not
• 32:37
  Speaker 11: going to win this battle, that the mayor is going
• 32:39
  Speaker 11: to show up anyway. But at least you gave them
• 32:42
  Speaker 11: a voice to tell them, let him know every single day,
• 32:45
  Speaker 11: right up until 9-11, that he won't be welcome there,
• 32:48
  Speaker 11: even if he does show up.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you for that. I do appreciate that. And
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: for what it's worth, when Giovanni Galante came on this show,
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: he had about 1,400 signatures on that petition. A week later,
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: he had over 80,000. So our audience did a tremendous job.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: No surprise, as President Trump says, we've got a gigantic audience.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: So thank you for saying that. Well, it's true. Well,
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: I wish I could have done more. That's all.
• 33:12
  Speaker 20: Yeah, look, it wasn't going to happen. He was going
• 33:13
  Speaker 20: to show up no matter what. But you give them voice.
• 33:15
  Speaker 20: And nobody else is, by the way. I don't hear
• 33:17
  Speaker 20: it anywhere else.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: No, nobody. Not on this station. Not across the street.
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: We're doing the best we can. It's not over until
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: it's over. Somebody said that once. So we are still
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: eight days away. Seven days away from the tragic assassination
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: of Charlie Kirk. We all saw that. September 10th. Seven
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: days will be one year and eight days away from
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: the 25-year commemoration of 9-11. Very, very emotional couple of days,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: specifically Thursday and Friday next week, when a lot of
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: us that you folks love will be in Dallas, Texas,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: trying to ensure that we do a good job in
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: the midterms. Huge week coming up, though. Huge. Think about that.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk assassination, 9-11. I'll be in Dallas with President
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Trump and the vice president who speaks today at 1 o'clock,
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: I guess from the White House, White House podium. He's
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: getting hammered. You know, I said this too yesterday. First
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: one to say it. What did I say? No matter
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: what J.D. Vance says, and I do expect there'll be
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: some type of one-on-one with J.D. Vance coming up. I
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: really do. No matter what he says, he's got the
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: stench of who on his body. What did I say yesterday?
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: What did I say, Noam? Do you remember? I don't.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Tucker Carlson. The exact, exact statement I made yesterday was
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: no matter what he does and says, he's got the
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: stench of Tucker Carlson on his body. And what do
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: you see today in today's New York Post? Just getting
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: a lot of play. J.D. Vance can't outrun his Tucker
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: Carlson problem. I mean, J.D., part of his whole spiel
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: with my cousin Norm Coleman Monday at the RJC in Vegas,
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: he talked about blood libels. He was factually incorrect, but
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: he basically took that whole speech from something Tucker Carlson
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: has said many times in the past. So not only
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: is he a friend of Tucker's, not only does he
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: refuse to condemn Tucker Carlson, but he repeats the nonsense
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: that Tucker says. And I believe that'll be his downfall.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: So until J.D. Vance comes out strong against Tucker, and
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: I said this yesterday too, it's not just about the Jews.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: We know Tucker is a raging anti-Semite. He can giggle
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: and laugh all he wants. How silly that notion is.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: He is. Forget about that. Almost every week now, Tucker
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Carlson comes out and blasts President Trump. Now, you're J.D. Vance.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: You had nothing. You were a senator from Ohio. You
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: had nothing. Now you're a multimillionaire. You're the vice president.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: You're going to run for president, probably. Who gave J.D.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Vance all of that gnome? All of it?
• 36:06
  Speaker 20: President Trump did.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: That's right. And here's Tucker Carlson, that piece of garbage,
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: out there every single week, hammering President Trump. So if
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: you're J.D. Vance, F the Jews. You're not going to
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: kid me. You don't love the Jews. I don't think
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: he's a raging anti-Semite. I really don't. I don't. He
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: doesn't love the Jews. Forget about the Jews. How about
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: going out there and protecting the guy that gave you
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: this wonderful life who Tucker Carlson hammers every week? And
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: he just won't do it.
• 36:35
  Speaker 20: And, you know, it's interesting.
• 36:36
  Speaker 11: Of course, President Trump realizes that his own vice president, J.D.
• 36:40
  Speaker 20: Vance, is good friends with Tucker Carlson, but never calls
• 36:43
  Speaker 20: him out for that.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: But he banned Tucker Carlson. President Trump. What else do
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: you want him to do?
• 36:49
  Speaker 20: I guess he can't tell who he can be, J.D. Vance,
• 36:51
  Speaker 20: who he can be friends with.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: It would be one thing if President Trump didn't ban
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: him either. In a show of solidarity with J.D. Vance.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: He could have done that. He's my VP. They're friends.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: He banned him. Trump did what he had to do.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: Trump doesn't have to speak for everybody else. Trump is
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: not running again. Doesn't have to win again. But J.D.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: Vance does. And the question becomes, do you want to continue,
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: continue to make Jews and Republicans staunch Trump supporters uncomfortable
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: when they hear your name? That's the question. We'll see
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: what J.D. Vance does. What else?
• 37:27
  Speaker 11: The death toll in Nepal is now over a thousand dead.
• 37:32
  Speaker 11: There's still close to 4,000 people still missing. The thought
• 37:36
  Speaker 11: is a fair amount of them are likely not alive either.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: But those are Americans too, right?
• 37:40
  Speaker 20: Yeah, there was 85 Americans as of a couple days ago.
• 37:43
  Speaker 11: I don't know if the State Department has updated that number,
• 37:45
  Speaker 11: but it was 85 as of Monday, missing Americans in Nepal.
• 37:51
  Speaker 11: And meanwhile, there's a sideline story that's awfully interesting. An
• 37:54
  Speaker 11: Australian medical student whose partner went missing in the floods–
• 37:58
  Speaker 11: is calling on tech companies to do more to help
• 38:01
  Speaker 11: find him. So apparently Life360, are you familiar with the
• 38:05
  Speaker 11: Life360 tracking app? A lot of families have this. So
• 38:08
  Speaker 11: you can find where loved ones are. You look at
• 38:10
  Speaker 11: the app, you see exactly where they are. Well, they
• 38:12
  Speaker 11: refuse to release data about where some of these loved
• 38:16
  Speaker 11: ones are.
• 38:16
  Speaker 20: This one guy from Australia says, I am.
• 38:18
  Speaker 11: A Life360 member, and they won't give out emergency location
• 38:24
  Speaker 11: data on where his missing partner is. And it's not
• 38:28
  Speaker 11: really clear why, but they say that for legal reasons,
• 38:31
  Speaker 11: Life360 won't just hand this over to the Nepalese government.
• 38:35
  Speaker 20: So he says, that's outrageous. You know, my loved one
• 38:38
  Speaker 20: might still be alive.
• 38:40
  Speaker 11: And here you have pinpoint information of where they may be,
• 38:44
  Speaker 11: and you're refusing to release it.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: Wow. What else you got out there today?
• 38:50
  Speaker 11: President Trump continues to talk about they're going to hit
• 38:53
  Speaker 11: Iran hard. He said they did so on Tuesday night.
• 38:57
  Speaker 11: He says there's more plans in the work and there's
• 38:59
  Speaker 11: no talks. There hasn't been for a while about any
• 39:02
  Speaker 11: sort of peace deal with Iran. And he said now
• 39:05
  Speaker 11: it's about going after them. And he again yesterday called
• 39:08
  Speaker 11: on the Iranian people to rise up against the Islamic regime.
• 39:12
  Speaker 11: He says it's up to them now to push this
• 39:15
  Speaker 11: government out. He knows it's difficult, especially since thousands of
• 39:17
  Speaker 11: Iranian protesters were killed before the war by the Iranian
• 39:21
  Speaker 11: regime when they took to the streets. But he says
• 39:23
  Speaker 11: now's the time. start doing that figure out a way
• 39:25
  Speaker 11: to take back your government how well.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: They shoot those people They've already murdered 50,000 people in
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: the streets. So this is where I get upset with
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Trump and everybody else. Sounds great. Hey, people go out
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: there and rise up. Rise up. We know they literally
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: murdered 40 to 50,000 innocent civilians in the streets. You
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: can be enthusiastic. You can be patriotic. You can have
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: all those wonderful abstracts. But guess what? It's still not bulletproof.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: So unless we're providing them with weapons or the Israelis
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: are going to be on the ground with them holding
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: big guns, how are these people going to rise up
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: against an armed government? How do you do that?
• 40:11
  Speaker 20: Well, unless you arm them, there's really no way for them.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: To do that.
• 40:14
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: So did Trump say... We got you. Go get them.
• 40:18
  Speaker 20: No, there was not a whole lot of detail about that.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't think so. All right. So, I mean,
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: I like it. It sounds great. It'll be wonderful that
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: the people, they've been the victims, right? More than we've been.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: We've had people killed, obviously. Israelis, too. But these poor
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: Iranian people, they've been the victims forever. And it'll be
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: great if they can take back their own country.
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: But.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: They're going up against people with guns who have no
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: issue shooting them in the streets. And that becomes an
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: unfair fight, I would say, wouldn't you?
• 40:52
  Speaker 20: You're not going to win that battle.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Anything else we've done for the morning news?
• 40:56
  Speaker 11: Well, I want to point this one other story out.
• 40:59
  Speaker 11: What an amazing job the authorities are doing down in Florida.
• 41:01
  Speaker 11: They've been on this plan to round up sexual predators,
• 41:07
  Speaker 11: pedophiles in the Sunshine State.
• 41:09
  Speaker 20: And they've made 2000 arrests.
• 41:12
  Speaker 11: And some of these are some of the sickest crimes
• 41:15
  Speaker 11: you could imagine, including this group of people that they
• 41:19
  Speaker 11: arrested that drove from Georgia to Florida with and they
• 41:23
  Speaker 11: were pimping out little kids along the way in.
• 41:26
  Speaker 20: What they called like a rolling caravan. And I mean,
• 41:30
  Speaker 20: just awful.
• 41:30
  Speaker 11: And so for those of these people that are involved
• 41:33
  Speaker 11: in that crime and one of many of uh... across
• 41:36
  Speaker 11: of the sunshine state they're hoping maybe they can institute
• 41:39
  Speaker 11: the death penalty these people who were pimping out all
• 41:41
  Speaker 11: these kids who are now some of the night disfigured.
• 41:44
  Speaker 20: From those uh.
• 41:45
  Speaker 11: episodes oh my god yeah i mean it's really uh...
• 41:48
  Speaker 11: i don't want to read it aloud is that's how
• 41:49
  Speaker 11: awful it is but uh... thank god for these florida
• 41:52
  Speaker 11: forties who but the fact that they've justin florida alone
• 41:55
  Speaker 11: they've made two thousand arrest i mean these are really
• 41:58
  Speaker 11: heinous crimes It just tells you kind of what a
• 42:01
  Speaker 11: sick society we live in.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we do live in a crazy, crazy sick place.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: No doubt about it.
• 42:07
  Speaker 25: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 42:11
  Speaker 25: Podcast Network.
• 42:13
  Speaker 10: It's been 10 years since you famously took that knee.
• 42:17
  Speaker 19: What were you hoping to achieve with the protests?
• 42:19
  Speaker 24: To collectively move us forward as a society. Very specifically,
• 42:24
  Speaker 24: fighting against racism. police killing black folks, but also looking
• 42:29
  Speaker 24: at systemic oppression holistically to get society thinking and moving
• 42:33
  Speaker 24: in the direction of addressing these issues to create a
• 42:37
  Speaker 24: better society. We have to do something different and there
• 42:41
  Speaker 24: has to be motion and momentum and movement around that.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: Now, the coach of the Los Angeles Chargers, who won
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: a college football championship a couple of years ago, coaching
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: his alma mater, Michigan. Well, Way back when, Harbaugh was
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: the coach of the 49ers. He elected to bench the
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: veteran Alex Smith in favor of the young Colin Kaepernick.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: And Colin played great. So well, in fact, that he
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: took the 49ers to the Super Bowl. And I covered
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: that game with 640 Sports down in Pompano Beach, Florida.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: It was in New Orleans. And here's one for you.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: That was the only Super Bowl ever where brothers coached
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: against each other. Jim Harbaugh's San Francisco 49ers took on
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: John Harbaugh's Baltimore Ravens, led by a young quarterback named
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: Joe Flacco. Ironically, John Harbaugh is now coaching our New
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: York football giants. Anyway, the Niners had a chance to
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: win that game. I really thought terrible play calling on
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: that final possession where the Niners had the football inside
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: the Ravens. Five ended Harbaugh's dream, Jim's, because John won one,
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: of winning a Super Bowl. And after that, Colin Kaepernick's
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: career started to go down the tubes very, very quickly.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: Couldn't win a game. Couldn't win a game, wasn't playing well,
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: and then decided to take a knee. Now, all the
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: stories point to his girlfriend, his wretched girlfriend, was upset
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: because some black guy was killed by a cop. And
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: she wanted her boyfriend to take a stand. And Colin...
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: you know, being the clock that he is, he just said, okay,
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: whatever you want me to do, I'll do it. So
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: supposedly one of his teammates, and I think the guy's
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: name was Nate Boyer, teammate on the 49ers, and Nate
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: Boyer actually served in the military. And Boyer said to Colin,
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: take a knee during the national anthem. That'll raise some eyebrows.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: And he said, you can do that because I know
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: for me, I fought For you to have that freedom.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: If you want to take a knee, that's what we
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: fought for. Now, the overwhelming majority of Americans feel like
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: taking the knee is disrespectful to those servicemen who fought
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: for us and continued to fight for us and was disgusting.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: But Boyer, his teammates said, no, we fight for those freedoms.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: You want to take a knee? You can't. And you can't. But,
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: you know, I spoke to people like Joey Jones, who's
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: on Fox News, who lost his legs. They were blown
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: off in Iraq. And he doesn't appreciate Colin Kaepernick taking
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: a knee. Many don't. Most don't. But, yes, it's not
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: against the law to do it in the United States.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: But it's gross. So these teams wanted nothing to do
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: with Colin, although he got a bunch of tryouts. I
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: think the Baltimore Ravens tried him out. I think the
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins tried him out. I think the Seahawks tried
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: him out. He went down to Miami wearing a Che
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: Guevara shirt. And where people lied about the whole Kaepernick
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: nonsense was people like Mike Lupica. And who's the other guy,
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: the other black guy who got Megyn Kelly fired eventually
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: on NBC? Roland, Roland Martin. What they never talk about
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: is that at one practice or tryout, I forget which
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: one it was, I don't care, Colin Kaepernick showed up
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: with a pair of socks which had pigs, pigs, wearing
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: cop hats. His statement was, cops are pigs. Che Guevara shirt,
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: talking about communism in New York City. Socks where he
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: depicted cops as pigs wearing And all you heard about
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: was this peaceful demonstration by Kaepernick. He's a jerk-off. He's
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: a racist. He sucked anyway. He had a couple of
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: good years as a kid in the NFL. And these
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: teams decided that, you know, we don't want him. He's
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: a cancer. Now, look, the NFL is not obligated, okay?
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: They're not obligated to sign anybody. And last I checked,
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: over 85% of the players in the National Football League
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: are black. I mean, you can never, ever, ever have
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: the NBA or the NFL complain about racism. I know
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: the owners are white. I get it. But these owners
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: are such pussies, they pander to their players anyway. I mean,
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: is there a bigger wuss than Roger Goodell, the NFL commissioner?
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: Is there a bigger wuss? He'd be washing black people's
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: feet in the streets if it was 2020. So I
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: don't want to hear about racism from Colin Kaepernick when
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: he played in a league which is like 85% black
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: or about cops going out there and shooting black people.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: That's what cops do. They wake up in the morning
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: and they decide, I'm going to kill me a black
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: person today. Are you stupid? Things do happen. You know,
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: I hate to break the news to you, but I
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: think African Americans make up about 13% of our communities,
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: and yet they commit almost 60% of the crimes. Sorry,
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: Stephen A. Smith. Sorry, Jemele Hill. Sorry, Charles Barkley. But
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: somebody's got to tell the truth. So every now and then,
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: if a black person gets killed by a cop, you
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: might understand why. It's not okay. Look, I'm the guy
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: that keeps saying George Floyd was murdered. People get mad
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: at me. Oh, Sid, wrong. He died of a drug overdose.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: All these psycho Republicans who believe some movie or some nonsense.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know. He was murdered. Because he had done
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: drugs his whole life. And all of a sudden, when
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: the guy, the cop, has his knee somewhere on his
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: body for a couple of minutes and the guy dies...
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: For me, he did it. I know Elon Musk disagrees.
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: I know Miranda Devine disagrees. And a lot of the
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: audience disagrees. I don't care what you say. As far
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: as I'm concerned, George Floyd was murdered. But he was
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: a lowlife. A lowlife. Arrested 19. Put a gun in
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: a pregnant woman's stomach. Hardly deserving of murals and statues
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: and turning this country upside down. A lot of people
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: get murdered every day. Whites, blacks, young people. You never
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: hear Al Sharpton yell and scream about all the little
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: black kids that are killed in Chicago.
• 49:41
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: Because they're killed by black people. Al Sharpton only cares
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: when a black person is murdered by a white person.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: Then you see Al Sharpton all over the television, all
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: over the place. In the meantime, the black-on-black crime is
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: through the roof, especially in cities like Chicago. So Colin
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: Kaepernick did nobody a favor. Trust me, he didn't bring
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: anything into focus. We didn't know. All he did was
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: ostracize himself. make sure he never took a snap again
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: in the National Football League and made a very divisive
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: country even more divisive. Congratulations, Colin Kaepernick, on your 10-year
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: anniversary of being a dick.

• 51:01
  Speaker 26: they did pick up a game on Tampa Bay in
• 51:03
  Speaker 26: the AL East thanks to rookie Met Nick Morabito. He
• 51:07
  Speaker 26: had a three-run double for his first major league hit
• 51:10
  Speaker 26: and later made a sparkling defensive play in Love Field.
• 51:12
  Speaker 26: The Mets beat the Rays 10-4 in the rubber game

  Speaker 25: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 52:30
  Speaker 25: Podcast Network.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: J.D. Vance, who will be speaking today from the White
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: House at 1 p.m. this afternoon. And we're about to
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: go back to our hotel room and pack as we
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: were leaving the next morning, which we did Tuesday morning.
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: Got me back here for my first show yesterday. And
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: we're heading down the escalator from the very, very beautiful
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: Venetian Conference Center. And I hear my name, Sid. And
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: I look behind me, and who could it be? Who'd
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: be screaming Sid in Las Vegas for many people? But
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: in this case, it happened to be the editor of
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: the National Review, a guy who is a dear friend
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: of mine, on this show every week. And nothing short
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: of a genius. We don't agree on a whole bunch
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: of stuff, actually. But I really think the guy's a genius.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: My friend, Rich Lowry. And there we were on an
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: escalator in Las Vegas. Danielle, Gabe, Sid, and Lowry. Well,
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: how about that, Lewis? I can't. Small world. Small world.
• 53:35
  Speaker 10: But Rich would hate to paint it.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: That's for sure. Rich Lowry. Good morning, buddy. How are you?
• 53:42
  Speaker 9: You're leaving out an important detail.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: Which was?
• 53:45
  Speaker 9: Because I yelled, Sid. And then you continue to look
• 53:48
  Speaker 9: at your phone, not looking up, whatever, buddy.
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: I can't hear, bro. I'm deaf. I think I did
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: do that, too.
• 53:58
  Speaker 7: I did.
• 53:59
  Speaker 9: You did, and then you looked back, and you're like, oh,
• 54:01
  Speaker 9: it's an actual buddy.
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: You know, because so many people came up to me.
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: They always do at these events. And after a while,
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: don't forget, that's my last day there. So at that
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: point in there, it was three days. All right. Oh,
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: my God. Which, after a while, it's like, okay, okay, okay.
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: But who knew it would be a superstar like you?
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: I'm so happy to see you.
• 54:20
  Speaker 9: Well, you did a good job. You know who also, like,
• 54:22
  Speaker 9: knocked it out of the park? Scott Jennings.
• 54:25
  Speaker 17: Yes.
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: He's great. Whoa. He's great. He also killed it last year.
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: And he was on the show, you know, last week.
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: And I said to him, I said, I guess you'll
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: be the person to replace Caroline Leavitt. I can't think
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: of a better new press secretary than you when he's
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: been mentioned quite a bit, actually, as the possible replacement.
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: In fact, for me, the MVPs, the best speeches, were me,
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: Randy Fine, and Scott Jennings. What do you think about
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: Jennings possibly getting that job?
• 54:56
  Speaker 9: I think he'd be fantastic, right? I mean, he's under
• 54:59
  Speaker 9: fire every night in CNN and best everyone. Great guy.
• 55:04
  Speaker 9: So I think he'd be a great choice. I don't
• 55:06
  Speaker 9: have any insight into how that's going.
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: Neither do I.
• 55:09
  Speaker 9: The betting markets say he has a pretty good chance.
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: Great chance. Alina Habish's name keeps popping up. So one
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: spot you and I kind of disagreed. We left the
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: same time. I went up to J.D.
• 55:20
  Speaker 14: Vance.
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: Was Vance's... and I want to congratulate Isaac Shore. Don't
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: know who he is, but he's a columnist for the
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: New York Post, and he either listens to me or
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: reads my Twitter. Because he wrote a story today which J.D.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: Vance cannot outrun his Tucker Carlson problem. And I said
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: this yesterday on this show, above and beyond the Jewish stuff,
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: which I thought he failed. He failed, okay? You got
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: to condemn Tucker just for Trump. President Trump made J.D.
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: Vance who he is. He's a multimillionaire now. He's a VP.
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: He's running for president. And Tucker Carlson takes as many
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: shots at President Trump as he does Israel. So the
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: question becomes, where the hell is the vice president's loyalty?
• 56:06
  Speaker 9: Yeah, so Isaac Shore, you write for the media. He
• 56:09
  Speaker 9: used to be a National Review guy.
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 56:12
  Speaker 9: Young, sharp writer. And that was your instant reaction when
• 56:15
  Speaker 9: we left the room. I was more positive. I'm still
• 56:17
  Speaker 9: more positive. But look, he should denounce Tucker. He should
• 56:21
  Speaker 9: just say, look, I don't agree with everything he says,
• 56:22
  Speaker 9: but I'm friends with him. You know, how hard is that?
• 56:25
  Speaker 9: But obviously he doesn't want to do it until he's
• 56:27
  Speaker 9: absolutely cornered into doing it. Now, Norm Coleman, who was
• 56:30
  Speaker 9: questioning him, mentioned Tucker to his credit, but didn't try
• 56:34
  Speaker 9: to corner him on Tucker. If you get three minutes
• 56:38
  Speaker 9: with J.D., you'll get it out of them one way
• 56:41
  Speaker 9: or the other, right? Or someone kind of.
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to get that time because it's been
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: brought to my attention and I can't tell you how
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: that J.D. wants to talk to me, okay? There may
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: be a meeting coming up in the next couple of
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: weeks in D.C. We'll see. But yes, if I was
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: sitting there, unlike my cousin, who did a tremendous job,
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: tremendous job, likes J.D., is tight with all the big Republicans,
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: and doesn't want to cause any real issue, I would
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: have stopped right at Tucker. He brought them all up.
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: He brought up Joe Rogan. He brought up Megyn Kelly.
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: He brought up Nick Fuentes. But as soon as Vance...
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: really dodged the Tucker part and started talking for minutes
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: about Rogan and Puentes, I would have been like, J.D.,
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: let's go back to Tucker, okay? What is your deal
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: with Tucker?
• 57:26
  Speaker 9: In J.D. 's defense, or, you know, I love Norm,
• 57:30
  Speaker 9: but the way he asked the question was, how do
• 57:31
  Speaker 9: you draw the line on who you go on? And
• 57:34
  Speaker 9: then he mentioned all these names, whereas it would have
• 57:36
  Speaker 9: been like, oh, do you agree with Tucker that Donald
• 57:39
  Speaker 9: Trump's the Antichrist or something like that, right? But look,
• 57:43
  Speaker 9: I think the average person sitting in that room wouldn't
• 57:47
  Speaker 9: have any idea that the Jews have any reason to
• 57:50
  Speaker 9: fear J.D.
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: Vance. Right, but you're right about that. You're right about that.
• 57:54
  Speaker 9: The innovation when he came in, the innovation when.
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: He went out. Right.
• 57:57
  Speaker 9: We have a special connection with Israel, said Jews and
• 58:01
  Speaker 9: Christians both believe we're made in the image of God,
• 58:04
  Speaker 9: said that anti-Semitism is corrosive. And then I think this
• 58:08
  Speaker 9: is a key thing that people that are really parsing
• 58:10
  Speaker 9: the speech really carefully are missing. There's been this huge
• 58:14
  Speaker 9: war over the legacy of Charlie Kirk with the anti-Zionist,
• 58:18
  Speaker 9: anti-Semite type saying, oh, he's on the verge of being
• 58:21
  Speaker 9: a huge hater of Israel. Whereas J.D. went out of
• 58:24
  Speaker 9: his way to say it was Charlie Kirk who told
• 58:27
  Speaker 9: me that anti-Semitism is corrosive to the soul. So he
• 58:30
  Speaker 9: was sort of bringing him back in the circle he
• 58:33
  Speaker 9: belongs in. So I rate it higher than you did,
• 58:37
  Speaker 9: but obviously he doesn't want to denounce Tucker unless absolutely
• 58:40
  Speaker 9: forced to.
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: He also, he did all those things, you're right, and
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: we're coming up, as I mentioned last hour, on the
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: very emotional commemoration of Charlie's assassination on Thursday. You've got
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: Charlie Thursday, 9-11 on Friday. That whole blood libel thing
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: he talked about, come on, Rich. That's exactly what Tucker says.
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: It's not even accurate. It's not even accurate. So he
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: blew that up.
• 59:01
  Speaker 9: There is an echo of Tucker. I get that. And,
• 59:04
  Speaker 9: you know, that's the main criticism of people. But the
• 59:07
  Speaker 9: key thing was he was saying. that, one, he messed
• 59:13
  Speaker 9: up blood libel and blood guilt. But he was saying
• 59:16
  Speaker 9: blood libel is something you're accused of that you don't do,
• 59:19
  Speaker 9: and both Jews and Christians reject this, right, the idea
• 59:23
  Speaker 9: of blood guilt, whereas Tucker is basically saying that the
• 59:28
  Speaker 9: Christians reject blood guilt, but Jews don't.
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 59:31
  Speaker 9: And that's why Jews are so bad. That's not what J.D.
• 59:33
  Speaker 9: was saying. But it was a little weird and discomfiting.
• 59:36
  Speaker 9: I'll give you that.
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: He wanted to sound exactly like his buddy, who everybody
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: in that room hated that night. He may have gotten
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: applause and some standing ovations, but you're not going to
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: find a person in that room. And Tucker actually responded
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: in Politico yesterday and said, oh, my God, basically these
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: whiny Jews, here we go again. They're committing genocide, but
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: they're the victims. Who even cares what they say anymore?
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: That was Tucker's response in Politico yesterday.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 9: Well, that's where Tucker is. No doubt about it. The
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 9: other key thing from J.D. is he said, and I
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 9: think you may have mentioned this line when we were
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 9: walking out. Things aren't the way they were 40 years
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 9: ago when we were talking about Israel.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: I don't like that.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 9: I think what he meant by that is 40 years
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 9: ago he just said they're the only democracy in the
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 9: Middle East. We should support him. And I think he
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 9: means that now you need to be more hard-headed about it.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 9: And by the way, he said repeatedly it is in
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 9: our interest to be an ally. With with Israel. But
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 9: he wants J.D. wants to get the votes of under
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 9: 40 year old males who are skeptical or hostile to Israel.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 9: So I think that's why he tap dances a little bit.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: He does. He does tap dance. I mean, he actually
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: went out of his way to say that. Look, Trump
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: was on this show last year. He said to me, said.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: 15 years ago, the strongest lobby in D.C. was Israel.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: You would never hear a Republican or a Democrat ever, ever,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: ever badmouth Israel. Now he says, outside of a couple
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: of Republicans, that's all they do is badmouth Israel. So
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: when J.D. Vance says, not Israel's our closest ally, which
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: they are, when J.D. Vance goes on this whole rant
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: where he compares the relationships, But the United States, between
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: Israel and the United Kingdom, that was helpful?
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 9: I mean, the U.K. is not just a close and
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 9: important ally. We have deep cultural similarities and affinities with
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 9: the U.K. And I think that's what you're saying about Israel.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 9: You're basically saying the countries we have the most in
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 9: common with are the U.K. and Israel. So I think
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 9: that's a really pro-Israel approach.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 7: Statement.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 9: And by the way, the thing about the Israel lobby
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 9: and AIPAC, they do important work, and they matter, and
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 9: it matters if they spend a lot in a race
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 9: or not. But what matters in the end of the
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 9: day is just what American people think, right? If American
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 9: people want to turn against Israel, they'll turn against Israel,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 9: and AIPAC won't be able to stop it. And they've
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 9: been pro-Israel for 40 years because they like Israel, and
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 9: they think it's a good country. It's not because of AIPAC.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 9: I mean, this focus on AIPAC has been so absurd
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 9: in my mind. It reminds me a little bit of
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 9: the focus on the NRA during the gun debate. The
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 9: NRA was really powerful for a while. Does anyone talk
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 9: about the NRA anymore? You know, they really kneecap themselves
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 9: with lavish spending and scandals and internal fighting, but the
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 9: American people are still pro-gun, because they're pro-gun.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 9: These lobbies, they don't matter that much.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: Although, I heard this rumor, I'm not sure if it's true,
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: a guy that I really like and a guy that
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: I'm endorsing very enthusiastically in that Senate race in Michigan...
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: Mike Rogers going up against, of course, Abdul El-Sayed. And
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: the rumor is that Rogers turned down APAC money. Do
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: you know if that's true?
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 9: I don't know if that's true. It might make sense
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 9: he did it just to avoid a vulnerability since El-Sayed
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 9: is so obsessed about it. But he looked and sounded good.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 9: He was there at the conference, too, and he has
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 9: a real chance to win that race. And it would
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 9: be kind of.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 9: Ideologically, it would be hugely gratifying if Democrats did everything
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 9: they did could to take the Senate, you know, got
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 9: right to 50 and couldn't get over the top because
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 9: El-Sayed loses to Rogers. That would just be great.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: I think he's going to lose. I do. I think
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: Rogers is going to beat El-Sayed in the end in Michigan. And,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: you know, there's a lot of races out there that
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: Mike Johnson, how much of it is there for the
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: morning session? But Matt Brooks and so they had a
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: Zoom interview with Mike Johnson and he mentioned all these
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: big races. He mentioned the Petri and Driscoll out of
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: Long Island for Congress. He mentioned my friend Michelle Tafoya
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: out in Minnesota, the former sideline reporter from Monday Night Football.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: He mentioned. Some of these Senate races, including Rogers and El-Sayed.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: And listen, maybe it's because I want it to be
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: this way. Maybe I'm willing it to be this way.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: But I'm starting to feel more confident as we get
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: closer to November that the Republicans will retain both the
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: House and the Senate. I think you disagree, but that's
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: where I'm going right now.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm not there. I think we're probably going to
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 9: lose the House. I think it's almost a guarantee, 80
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 9: or 90 percent chance. But look, I love Mike Johnson.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 9: I hope he's right. I hope you're right. But I'm skeptical.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: You are skeptical. So, J.D., in the last poll I saw,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: because during my speech, I mentioned Marco Rubio's name. No context. Applause.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: They went nuts there. they went nuts for Ted Cruz too.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: But really the, the one race I think that would
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: be very intriguing would be if there was a primary
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: between Vance and Rubio. And all I keep reading, which
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: Lowry is all these polls, Vance beating Rubio easily. I
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: know you're seeing those, right?
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 9: Well, he's vice president of the United States and, uh,
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 9: I'm not sure that's the way it would go if
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 9: there were actually a race between the two of them,
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 9: you know, in the abstract, if Trump wasn't tipping the
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 9: scale one way or the other. But I don't think
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 9: Rubio is going to run. I think he has a
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 9: great job. He's one of the most important and powerful
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 9: people in the world, more powerful than most heads of state,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 9: you know, in other countries. So why would he give
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 9: that up soon, you know, within the next 12 months?
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: Well, I think it's more than that. I think it's
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: more than that. You're right about the Secretary of State position,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: but remember, he got crushed by President Trump, and I
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: do believe he's got presidential aspirations, and I don't think
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: he could afford to go out there and get clobbered
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: by Bantz. So you're right about Secretary of State. You
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: have to resign, and that's a huge position. But also,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: for some of these guys, Ron DeSantis, too, if you
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: run again and you get clobbered again, this time by Bantz,
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: It may be all over at that point.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 9: Yeah, well, usually you don't get three bites of the
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 9: apple anyway, but, you know, it matters how much you
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 9: want it, you know, and these guys, they really want it.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 9: Running for president of the United States on the part
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 9: of almost anyone is a crazy thing to do, right?
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 9: It's so much effort and it's so hard and the
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 9: odds are so much against you.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: They're just trying to kill you. They're just trying to
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: kill you.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 9: But their ambition, you know, their ambition gets them there.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 18: I guess it does.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 7: The J.D.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 9: Vance of any person in the United States right now
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 9: has the greatest chance to be president of the United States.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's probably not even that close. They start throwing
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: in names like Glenn Youngkin and my guy from Missouri,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: Josh Hawley. These people are going to beat J.D. Vance. J.D.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 9: Has at least a 50% chance of winning a Republican nomination.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 9: I would say more. And that gets you halfway there.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 9: And no Democrat has a 50 percent chance of winning
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 9: the Democratic nomination. So, look, it doesn't mean he's, you know,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 9: it's going to be a race. Someone will challenge him
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 9: for the nomination. And then I think it's going to
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 9: be kind of tough for him in 28. But we'll see.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 9: It's a long way away.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: You know, one more, Rich. I was watching Peter Alexander
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: from NBC, who's a nice guy, but he's, you know,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: he's liberal. He's with a capital L. In fact, he
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: named his first child. His daughter Ava, just like I did.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: We had that in common years ago. I spoke to
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: Peter about that. Nice guy, but just lost. Complete liberal.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: And he was talking to my good buddy Mike Lawler,
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: the congressman of Rockland County yesterday. And he was trying
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: to get Mike to hammer Trump because Trump decided not
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: to come here next Friday because he can't speak. He
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: can't speak at the 9-11 memorial service. So he decided,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: President Trump, to go to the Pentagon instead because they're
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: going to allow him to speak. Now, Trump denies that, says, no, no, no,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: stop it. It's not because of that. But the left
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: media will be fixed on that, that President Trump turned
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: on his own city because he's not speaking at the memorial.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on what's about to be, I think,
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: a pretty big controversy? Yeah.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 9: So I don't know the truth of it. I think
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 9: it'd be better if you were in New York, but
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 9: it's not as though he's going golfing. You know, there's
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 9: a horrible day in Washington, D.C., As well, but I
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 9: think it'd be better if you're up here.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: He should be here, right?
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, Pentagon people did die there, and he is
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: living in D.C. as a president out of the States,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: but he should be, right?
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, that attack. Someone was posting something on
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 9: Twitter the other day saying, I had never found this
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 9: angle before, and I watched some of it, and I
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 9: couldn't watch all of it because I thought maybe people
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 9: were going to start jumping, and I just can't take it. But, God,
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 9: the sight of it was so compelling and horrifying at
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 9: the same time. You know, the planes going into those
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 9: buildings and the way they're burning afterwards, it's just a
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 9: gut punch every time you see it.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 15: It is.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: Rich, it was great seeing you in Vegas, and you
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: were amazing this morning as always. I love you, Rich.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: You're the best. Thank you, buddy. Rich Lowry right there,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: the editor of the National Review here on Sid and
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: Friends in the morning. A lot more to do. Stephanie Benchamol,
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: she is everywhere this morning. Her video went viral yesterday
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: as she encountered the mayor at a Judaica store in
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: Borough Park, Brooklyn. She's going to join us. coming up
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: this hour. Lots more to do. Sid and Friends in.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: The Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: That's the 204060. And you know what's funny about that
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: is on the same day as your 204060, Melanie McGurk
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: The beautiful daughter of our late friend Bernard is getting married.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: And I got the text yesterday from Carol McGurk.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 10: Crazy.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: Bernard's wife. And she said, just trying to find out
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: whether or not you guys are coming to the wedding.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: And then she said, and I loved, give Vance a chance. So, clearly, Carol,
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: Bernie's beautiful wife, is still listening.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 7: Clearly.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 25: Clearly.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 10: Clearly.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: She'd have no idea about Give Vance a Chance unless
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: she was listening. So I was very happy to hear that.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: We're going to try to do two things at once
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: that day and make everybody happy. But it's been 40
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: years for you, right? Or is it 41 in this business?
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 10: Well, professionally, 40.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 22: Okay.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What, did you do one year of unprofessional work?
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 10: No, I was in college.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, so that would have been Fordham Radio.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 10: So that's how I look at it.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's a big-time radio station. Even though it's
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: a college station, that's a big deal.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 10: It is big. It's huge now.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: Is it WFUV?
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 10: Very good.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: It's a big deal.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it was big.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: Hofstra's a big deal, too. Their station, they got the
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: Hall of Famer there, John. I like that guy. But
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: at any rate, Gloria Steinem is dead at the age
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: of 92. So the video that has gone viral today
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: that everybody is talking about is this young lady who's
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: a big fan of mine and ours, loves us, Her
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: name is Stephanie Benchamol. She ended up going to this
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: Judaica store in Borough Park, Brooklyn yesterday and encountered Mayor Mamdani.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to say this. It was a spectacular,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: not good, not even great, a spectacular performance by Stephanie Benchamol.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: Everybody's talking about her, and she's going to join us
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: coming up next. Stephanie on Sid and Friends in the Morning.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: Sid and Friends.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: In the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 4: Hi, Mr.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 6: Mamdani, how are you?
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 5: It's me, Stephanie Ben Shmuel.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 17: You remember me?
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 5: Remember last year when Trump freed the hostages?
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 6: It's all because of you.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 5: We have so much anti-Semitism.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 6: I can't believe you're in it. Don't push me. Don't
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 6: push me.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 5: I can't believe that you're in a Jewish store before
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 5: Rosh Hashanah. You're causing all the anti-Semitism. You're not the
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 5: ambassador for America. Shame on you for coming to Borough
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 5: Park where my bubby came after the Holocaust. My bubby
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 5: and Zaydi came to Borough Park.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 6: You have such chutzpah coming here. Your mom's there. Shame
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 6: on you.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 5: Stop the anti-Semitism. You have all the power to stop
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 5: the anti-Semitism.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 6: I'm begging you to do it.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 5: I'm begging you as the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, stop
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 5: the anti-Semitism. All you're doing is focusing on Israel and.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 6: Bringing more hate to the Jewish people.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 5: Help us and stop it.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 6: You didn't even march in the Israel Day parade.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 5: Everybody here supports Israel. It's ours from the Torah. Shame
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 5: on you, Mamdani. Shame on you to come to a
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 5: Jewish store. I'm the lady that called out for Lissa
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 5: Wisdom in Holocaust Memorial Park.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 6: She did nothing for us and neither did you. Don't
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 6: push me. I made a purchase here. I'm a customer.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 5: Until the owner tells.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 6: Me to step outside. Are you a kapo? Are you
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 6: supporting him?
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 7: Do you support Israel?
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 6: Do you support Israel?
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 10: Do you?
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 6: You support Israel. Then why is he here? Why? All
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 6: he wants to do is arrest Bibi Netanyahu.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 5: Shame on you. Remember, we're all watching you. We're watching
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 5: your nonsense.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 6: You're in Borough Park. Don't push me. I'm not violent,
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 6: and I have no weapons on me. Hi, Hashi Tischler. Hi,
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 6: Nachum Kaller. Don't push me. You're hurting me. Don't push me.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 6: You're hurting me. Don't push me.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: Stephanie Ben-Shemal, this nice Jewish woman. was kicked out of
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: this store in Borough Park. But Mamdani, who hates the Jews,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: he hates us. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: I don't care what Rabbi Teitelbaum says in the Satmar community.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: He hates us. His wife hates us. His father hates us.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: He's allowed to stay. Lou, how does that make sense?
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: How does Stephanie get kicked out? But the anti-Semitic mayor,
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: he's allowed to stay.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 10: She has every right to be there.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 10: That's her right. As long as you are not, there's
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 10: no physical thing going on.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: She was the one being roughed up.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 10: That's right. You can't do anything. You can't touch her.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: No.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 10: She is a citizen.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: She was so good.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 7: That's it.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 10: That's the way it is.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: Well, only a million people sent me that video yesterday,
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: so we got her. Here she is, the star of
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: the Jewish community this morning, and deservedly so. Stephanie Ben-Shamal. Stephanie,
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: welcome to Sid and Friends in the Morning.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 7: How are you?
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Boker. It's all myself.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: All is great. All is great. So did you know
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: for a fact that the mayor was going to that
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: specific store in Borough Park? Is that why you were
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: there in the first place?
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 4: So every year I do my yearly Rosh Hashanah shopping
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 4: in Borough Park. I happen to be talking to my
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 4: good friend Robert Pearl on the phone. His birthday is
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 4: coming up this Saturday. And then he said, Stephanie. I
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 4: just got some news. The mayor is going to be
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 4: around there. So I said, nah, he can't be around here.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 4: Then I thought about it. I'm like, all right, he's
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 4: probably going to Amnon's Pizza Store. It's a famous pizza
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 4: store known in Borough Park. I was in Eichler's bookstore
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 4: making my purchases. Now, all of a sudden, I start
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 4: to see all the little Moises on their walkie talkies.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, you know what? I'm staying in the store.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 4: Something's going down. And then they start talking in Yiddish.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 4: I understand Yiddish from my bubby. I'm like, you know what?
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 4: I'm hanging around. I think Mamdani's coming over here.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 5: Waited.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 4: He walked in. And that's when it all started. I
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 4: was in absolute shock that he had the chutzpah to
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 4: come into a Jewish store in the heart of Borough
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 4: Park a week before Rosh Hashanah. And Rosh Hashanah comes
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 4: out the same day as sadly the memorial for the
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 4: 25th anniversary of September 11th.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: You know, I knew this was happening yesterday. I mentioned
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: it on my program. I said he's on his way
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: to Borough Park, and I was also, yeah, and Teitelbaum
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: is going to meet with President Trump today. So I
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: knew he was going there yesterday.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 7: I missed it.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: Believe it or not, Stephanie, I have less of an
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: issue with Mamdani. My issue is our people. Why would
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: anybody in Borough Park, any rabbi, any decent Jewish person,
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: extend an invite to this anti-Semite creep? Not only that,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: they rolled out the red carpet. They treated him so nicely.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 4: Oh, boy, did they roll out the red carpet for him.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 4: They treated him like royalty. They were running around the
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 4: store with a silver kiddish cup. a beautiful honey plate,
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 4: apple cider chilled, you know, like you don't treat him
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 4: with royalty. This man is going to put you on
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 4: the Nazi train to Germany. He doesn't deserve such, such,
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 4: such respect, such cover.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: So, so it sounds, so it sounds to me like
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: you agree with me that even though, you know, he's
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: a creep, why would our people bend over backwards for
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: this guy? Right. Why?
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 4: Well, there's a difference between respecting him. And then they were,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 4: they were, they were taking selfies with him. They were
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 4: kissing his taches.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 17: Why?
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 4: And then you have guys in Yiddish saying anti-Semites. I'm like,
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 4: why are you taking a selfie with him if he's
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 4: an anti-Semite? And that's when it got to me. And
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 4: I said, let me ask my famous question again, as
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 4: I did June 2025, when I was thrown out of
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 4: Brooklyn College at a town hall meeting. What are you
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 4: going to do for the safety of the Jews in
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 4: New York? He puts his hand on his chest. And smiled.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: That's what he does.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 4: That's the answer.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: That we get. And, you know, you mentioned Felicia Wisdom. Felicia,
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: that's a complete waste of time. I mean, my good buddy. Felicia, whatever. Yeah,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: my buddy Abraham. My buddy Abraham Hamra went to meet
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: with her. I said, why? I know he's got his
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: heart in the right place. He wants to help the city.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 7: He's a great guy.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: He's a great guy. But why are you waiting? Anybody, anybody.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 4: He's not doing anything for us.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 4: Given her position in February. What has she done in
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 4: these eight months? And that's when she had the chutzpah also.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 4: She came to Holocaust Memorial Park and she said, Babe Brooklyn,
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 4: you know, this is my home over here. I'm born
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 4: in Brooklyn, raised in Brooklyn. That's when I said, you're
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 4: not going to be speaking here. They tricked the Holocaust
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 4: survivors and they brought her there. I heckled her out
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 4: of there. Yes, I did. And I'm proud about that.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: I'm proud of you, too. So a couple of times
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: during that video, Steph, you were saying, don't push me.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: Don't touch me. Did they get physical with you that often?
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 4: You know something? We have something in Jewish. I'm an
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 4: Orthodox Jewish woman. And I wasn't always. I'm a Brooklynite.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 4: I grew up, you know, in Bay Ridge. I grew out,
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 4: grew out, went to my KTU clubs and all that.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 4: But now I'm an Orthodox Jewish woman. We have something.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 4: called Shomer Nagia. I don't touch another man. Another man
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 4: doesn't touch me. And they were pushing me out to
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 4: a point where I felt pain in my lower back.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 4: I'm a big woman. I don't complain easy about pain,
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 4: but they were hurting me. So I was like, stop. Like,
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 4: why are you giving mom Donnie your marshmallow mom there?
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 4: Respect over me. Now, one man said not one man said,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 4: don't touch her. Not one man. They were too busy
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 4: taking selfies and praising him.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 17: Come on.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 4: What is going on? You don't kiss ass to the devil,
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 4: to the man who hates you, the man who wants
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 4: to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu. God bless Benjamin Netanyahu. God bless
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 4: President Trump.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: God bless both of those guys. That's right, Stephanie. So,
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: I know you were standing in very close proximity to
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: Mayor Mamdani when you started the video. It's great. And
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: then they kind of ushered him away from you. You
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: can see that. At any point, did he acknowledge you,
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: the mayor, in any way?
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 7: No, no.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 4: All he could do is answer the question. Do I
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 4: look like a dangerous person, honestly?
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 4: Do I look like I'm violent?
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 7: No. Okay.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 17: So.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 4: And then he was right across the street from where
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 4: my grandmother came after the Holocaust. Legally, she had her
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 4: wig salon business there. And that's what even upset me
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 4: even more. They caused traffic for 20 minutes. And it
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 4: was all arranged. They had, you know, I knew something
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 4: was also going on. I'm like, there's detail over there.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 4: There's always something going on in Borough Park. But this
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 4: is a little bit too much. How they praised him,
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 4: how they gifted him, how they completely ignored an Orthodox
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 4: Jewish woman. So as you know me, I will not
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 4: apologize for who I am and I will not be
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 4: intimidated and I will not be silenced. No American, no
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 4: Westerner and especially no Jew should sit back and be
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 4: quiet when something is wrong. And everybody else should speak up.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 4: We should make the Jewish mafiosa crew for women. And
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 4: we should all be doing this together to call them out.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: And you should be the godmother or the godfather, whatever
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: you want.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 7: To call it.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 4: Yes, I am the god Jewish mother. And I want
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 4: to tell you something. Today is the two days ago
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 4: on September 1st was when they killed the six hostages.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 4: You remember Hersh Goldberg or Zanino Carmel. We gathered. I
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 4: was with you in front of the Israel embassy. And
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 4: you spoke and we lit candles for them. And then Mamdani,
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 4: what is he inviting Mahmoud Khalil to Gracie Mansion for
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 4: for dinner on my tax dollars and your tax dollars?
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 4: And his wife praised Hamas and liked all their posts,
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 4: what they did. Sticking up utensils and torching Israeli women?
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 4: This guy is just a terrorist in a suit.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: That's all he is. That's good. I'm glad you used
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: that word, too. He's a terrorist. That's right. And yes,
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: we did.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 4: He's a terrorist in a suit. I could say. He's
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 4: a commie. He's a terrorist in a suit. And he
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 4: does not love terrorism. this great city like we do
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 4: because we are born here and we love our city.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: That's right. And we did light candles that day, me, you,
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: and Dov Hyken, the three.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 4: Of us did it together.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 7: We did, yes. Remember that?
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: It was a great rally.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 4: We were with Sammy Steigman. It was a beautiful San Memorial.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, Holocaust survivor Sammy Steigman. Yes, very nice guy. So
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: has anybody, you know, you made that store. I know
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: if you live in Borough Park, you know it. If
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: you're an Orthodox Jew, you may know it, but for
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of Jews in New York, they never heard
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: of Eichel's. You made that story very, very famous. Eichel's
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: has been around.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 4: There since I'm six years old. I'm not going to
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 4: say my age, but I was born in Maimonides. I
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 4: grew up in Flatbush, Brooklyn, always in Borough Park because
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 4: of my bubby, you know, my grandmother. Eichel's was a
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 4: big thing to go to, especially before Rosh Hashanah. I
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 4: feel bad. You know, I made a purchase there. I
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 4: bought little... Russia shouldn't have beautiful glass bottles to give
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 4: out to my neighbors. And I also went there to
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 4: buy my daughter a birthday present. That's why I was
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 4: talking to Robert Pearl because his birthday is the day
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 4: after my daughter's birthday. And then look who walks in.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 17: Unbelievable.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 4: Donnie, you know, Donnie means moms are means a bastard.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry. I got to say it. I'm not sorry.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: Bastard Mamdani. So now, now that you've done this and
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: you've become a rock star, I know you've also been
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: busy like I have. I've been very busy, actually, trying
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: to make sure that Bruce Blakeman gets elected as governor.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 7: Of course.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 4: His poster's in front of my house. Sarita Kamatadi's in
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 4: front of my house. Bruce Blakeman. Trump has been. They
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 4: keep ripping it off. I'm trying to catch the person
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 4: that keeps ripping off my Trump poster. We got to
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 4: get Bruce Blakeman in.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 7: That's it.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 4: He's great. I was there when he signed the mask.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 4: You remember the mask bill?
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 5: No mask.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: Him and him and Marcy Pillop.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 4: Yes, Mozzie's great. We got to get Bruce Blinkman in.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 7: That's it.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 4: That's the only way to save our New York City,
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 4: which right now is New York City under the rule
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 4: of Mamdani. We got to take back our city. I
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 4: want to just say something else. On September 9th, Wednesday,

  Speaker 19: Most interesting element of this upcoming visit is not this Trumpism.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 19: I'm not getting carried away. I'm past my teenage years,
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 19: but rather to watch what happens between these two brothers,
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 19: which I'm going to be very curious to see. Of course,
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 19: in the political arena, there is a big brouhaha in
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 19: response to this visit. Some kind of blowhard, Sid Rosenberg,
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 19: published a tweet saying, this is a huge mistake. The
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 19: rabbi's a terrible guy and there's no right being anywhere
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 19: near POTUS. This rabbi sucks off New York City mayor
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 19: at every opportunity. And has more than once screwed the
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 19: good Jews. Come on, Marty, you can't do this, please.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 19: I kill this guy and Rabbi Indig on my show.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 19: I can't stand political language. This is not my thing.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 7: This is not my world.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 19: I should stay out of this. But Kol Ho Olam,
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 19: which is an Orthodox media, sent a tweet saying Trump's
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 19: planned visit with six rabbis. And a Rosh Hashanah is
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 19: on shaky ground, with Trump allies Laura Loomer and Sid
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 19: Rosenberg urging him to cancel it, and several rabbis are
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 19: reluctant to spend a day in D.C. so close to
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 19: Rosh Hashanah.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 2: The voice there was some lady from Brooklyn. We've been
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: talking about Brooklyn a lot this morning, Borough Park. I'm
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: not sure what that lady was from. Don't have her name,
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 2: but she did a podcast, and she called me a
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: blowhard because I did say that Rabbi Teitelbaum from the
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: Satmar community Well, I guess I kind of said that
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: he engages in oral sex with the mayor, which is
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: a bit much. I guess people are very upset with me.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: I don't care. I really don't. Teitelbaum is at the
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: White House today. That meeting was not canceled. At one point,
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: they considered canceling it. Then they said, well, it's going
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: to be a couple of a photo with President Trump,
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: and that's it. But no real discussion. Now I'm hearing
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 2: they may get one minute. They want five minutes. But
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: a bunch of these rabbis... including Teitelbaum from the Satmar community,
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: who sucks up to Mamdani at every opportunity. He will
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: meet with the president later on today, and that makes
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: me nauseous. Two things making me nauseous today. Teitelbaum meeting
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: with Trump and Mamdani in a Judaica store yesterday. Good
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: job by Ben Shamal in Borough Park. Both of those things,
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: not okay. Not okay. I don't know what the hell
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: we're doing, but this is why Jewish people have a
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: lot of their issues, because they bring it upon ourselves.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: We really do. You know, the liberal Jew, some of these,
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 2: I guess, religious Jews, I don't know what they think.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: I really don't. They're married to the Democrat Party, and
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: the Democrat Party hates us. I'll give you an example.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: My friend Rios out in Jersey tells me that, you
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: know who Cenk Uygur is? You know who that is?
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 17: No.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 2: Okay. He is the uncle of one Hassan Piker.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 7: Okay?
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 2: And he's a big mouth. You know, he's, I don't
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: even know if he's, I don't know exactly what he
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: does these days, but he mentions me all the time.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: So he sent out a tweet on Tuesday morning after
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 2: I tweeted about J.D. Vance, and it was a unkind
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: tweet about Israel, the Jews, and me. And Rios made
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: me aware this morning that he was talking to another
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 2: lady I can't stand, Anna Kasparian. You know who that is, Justin?
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 10: I know who that is.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: You know who that is, though, right?
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 10: Yes, I know who that is.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: You don't like her either, do you?
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 23: She, if I had to choose an alarm to wake up,
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 23: that would get me up.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 10: In three seconds just hearing her.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: Annoying. She's so annoying.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 10: She is extremely annoying.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: She's also an anti-Semite.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 10: Oh, my God.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: Big way. So Horan Sank Igar, again, the uncle of
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 2: Hassan Piker, were talking about me this morning. I guess
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: he was going over Vance and the RJC. And I
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: was critical of Vance's speech. I don't hate J.D.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 7: Vance.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: Not even a little. He's not my first choice. All
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: you guys... talk about Marco Rubio. I'm the only one
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: who's actually friends with Marco Rubio, okay? And have been
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 2: that way for the better part of 16 years. I
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: love Marco. Marco is my choice. It's not even close.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: And I love Ted Cruz. I've been over this a
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: million times. But I am a Republican. And if it
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 2: comes down to Vance or a Democrat, and I mean
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: any Democrat, I'm voting for Vance. That's it. Doesn't mean
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 2: I love Vance, but I don't hate him either. But
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: he's got a lot of work to do. A lot.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: And even though Rich Lowry kind of liked his speech
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 2: on Monday night, I didn't. Look, he's very strong when
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 2: it comes to American policy. He's a very smart guy.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: He's an affable guy. He's easy to talk to. Loves
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 2: his faith. I love that. You know, Christian. Love all
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: those things about him.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 15: But.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: Every time he talks about Israel or the Jews, he
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: finds a way to make it very uncomfortable if you're
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 2: pro-Israel and Jewish. If you're both of those things. He
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: finds a way to make it uncomfortable enough to go, really?
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 2: Like he's not straightforward like Rubio. Yes. And he had
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 2: the opportunity once again to condemn Tucker Carlson. And it
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: was an epic fail. Epic fail. He just went right on.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: Didn't even talk about him. Talked about Joe Rogan and
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: Nick Fontes. So I was critical of J.D. Vance and Cenk,
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: who hates the Republican Party, hates us, hates President Trump.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he hates J.D. Vance. But given the opportunity
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: to crush Sid Rosenberg and even defend J.D. Vance, this
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: Jew-hating son of a bitch took that opportunity on Twitter
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: Tuesday and did it again with Anna Kasparian today. So
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: I'll get the audio and I'll play it. But that's
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: what we're facing today. Just a whole bunch of losers everywhere.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: Thank God for people like Randy Mastro. I love him.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: He did a great job working alongside Woody Giuliani, deputy mayor.
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 2: Even did a very good job working alongside Eric Adams,
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 2: who turned 66 yesterday. But as you guys know, I'm
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: not a big fan of. I'm really not. You know,
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: he's better than de Blasio and he's better than Mamdani.
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: What does that mean? I don't understand. That's your barometer?
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: Because he's better than those guys? And even that's debatable
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 2: when it comes to corruption and criminal activity inside his
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 2: own administration, but fine. Randy did a great job for
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: both Eric and Rudy, and now he's doing a great
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 2: job for New Yorkers with this ridiculous second home tax
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 2: that the mayor wants to punish New Yorkers with. God
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 2: forbid you are successful. God forbid in this day and
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: age in New York City you've amounted to some sort
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 2: of success. God forbid! So now you've got tenants... That
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: are upset. You got homeowners that are upset. You got
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: landlords that are pissed off. And guess who's representing all
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: of them? Randy Mastro. And guess who's coming up next?
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: Randy Mastro.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 25: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 25: Podcast Network.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: So the city goes out there and they notify 17,000
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: people that we're basically coming after you. I love what
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: Randy Mastro said to this Supreme Court Justice Wayne Ozzie
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: on Monday. He said, here's a quote from Randy, it's
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 2: so good. The city may not, quote, terrify first and
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 2: clarify later. They did not do any diligence at all.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 2: They said, you may owe the surcharge, and unless you
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: apply for an exemption, we're going to deem you do owe.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 2: That's what the nasty Graham said. So we just got
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: this guy Banks in court the other day on Staten
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: Island arguing back and forth. But in the end, it's
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 2: not 17,000. The number of people that should have been
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: notified is closer to 10,000. So they just haphazardly went
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 2: out there and started sending these people terrifying notices, embarrassing people.
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 2: Not a heck of a lot different than standing outside
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 2: of Ken Griffin's home and when he basically drove Griffin
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 2: and his $ 6 billion deal out of New York City.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 2: But now Randy Mastro has been for months defending these homeowners,
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: these co-op owners, and he may have put the mayor
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 2: in a position where he's got no other choice. but
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 2: to roll it out all over again because the way
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: they did it was irresponsible and, quite frankly, dangerous. When
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: I say they, I say Mamdani and the Governor Hochul. Now,
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 2: Randy's got a second job. As if that's not enough,
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: you've got the rent freezers out there, one million stabilized
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 2: apartments hanging in the balance with the rent freeze, and
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: Randy Mastro is also representing the landlords in that case. So, Randy,
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 2: you seem to be very, very busy these days.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 7: Well, it looks like our new mayor is a full-time
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 7: employment service for lawyers, or at least this lawyer.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 2: It really does. So last time I spoke to you
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago, you felt pretty good about
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 2: the lawsuit and where it was heading because, again, if
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: I'm wrong, correct me, because it is kind of complicated
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 2: for the everyday person out there, but you basically want
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 2: the mayor to roll this out all over again, tell
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 2: the people who actually come under these laws conditions, who
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 2: they are, what they have to do, not just randomly
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 2: add 7,000 more, but it's basically to roll out the
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 2: program all over again. Is that correct?
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 7: That's completely correct, Sid. There never should have been notices
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 7: from the city that said you may owe the surcharge
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 7: to Now we're switching the burden to you to apply
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 7: for an exemption and prove you live in your own
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 7: home or else you'll be deemed to owe the tax.
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 7: The state statute that authorized the imposition of the pied-à-terre
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 7: surcharge expressly put the burden on the city to establish
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 7: in the first instance– that you owe the surcharge, and
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 7: then to demand you pay. That's why there needs to
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 7: be a do-over. And you know how we know we're right?
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 7: Because we brought the lawsuit, and the city's now had
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 7: to fess up that out of those 17,000 who got
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 7: those threatening nasty grams, you know, they're down to 10,000
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 7: who may actually have an obligation. And I think at
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 7: the end of the day, Sid, the number's going to
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 7: be more like 5,000 to 6,000.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, great.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 7: So the city is still grossly you know, overestimating and
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 7: pressuring many New York City resident homeowners into having to
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 7: prove they live in their own homes. And that's wrong
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 7: and it's illegal.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 2: 100 percent. Now, I don't know how much blame with
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 2: this you put on the governor, but she's like, no,
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 2: I'm not surprised. I thought it was more like 10,000,
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 2: not 17,000. I don't remember her saying that when he's
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 2: lists first came out. And now you're saying it may
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 2: be more like five or six thousand anyway. But Hochul
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 2: did the old. Yeah, that sounds about right. I mean,
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 2: whatever wind is blowing that day, that's where the governor goes, basically.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 7: Well, when this debacle first hit and there was such
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 7: public outrage about it, not only among those of us
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 7: who got these threatening nasty grams. I got one of them.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 7: And I've lived in this city for 40 years, paid
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 7: taxes here for 40 years. I had to legally live
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 7: here to be first deputy mayor last year. But I
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 7: got one. The governor, who has been the mayor's sponsor
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 7: of this bill, she did say, hey, this has got
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 7: to be cleaned up. This has got to be fixed.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 7: And basically, the city has now been, because we brought
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 7: this lawsuit, forced to admit they massively screwed up and
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 7: sent this to 7,000 people they shouldn't have. But there's
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 7: more to come, because there's going to be other New
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 7: Yorkers who are residents who never should have gotten these
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 7: nasty grants. People who own their properties in some other form,
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 7: like an LLC or a partnership or a trust. Those
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 7: are common devices for privacy, for estate planning. People live
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 7: in New York and they use those devices, but they
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 7: all got nasty grams, even if it's their own name
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 7: in the corporation or in the trust, so that the
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 7: city could easily match up the name to their tax returns.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 2: So talk about specifically, Randy, what happened on Monday on
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: Staten Island. And those proceedings, which seem to once again
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 2: favor you, talk about that day specifically, Monday on Staten Island.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 7: Okay, well, we had a hearing in the Pieta Tercer
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 7: Church case, lasted over two hours, Justice Ozzie on Staten Island.
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 7: He asked very penetrating questions of both sides, very engaged,
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 7: very attentive, very concerned about the harm that what the
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 7: city did to so many New York City resident homeowners.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 7: Now we're awaiting a written decision from him. I don't
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 7: predict outcomes of cases. I can just say that it
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 7: was a very good hearing. The issues aired and he's
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 7: very engaged. So we're looking forward to his written ruling.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 7: And then, Sid, on top of that, yesterday, busy week
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 7: this week. Yesterday, I was in court for five hours
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 7: on the rent freeze.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 2: I know. This is unbelievable. So for folks that don't know,
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 2: the New York City Rent Guidelines Board, whose decision to
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 2: freeze the rent on nearly 1 million stabilized apartments... is
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 2: caught up in this lawsuit, which you just mentioned. So
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 2: how's that going?
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 7: Well, again, a five-hour hearing. That's extraordinary. Justice Landry in Manhattan,
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 7: very engaged, asked lots of questions of both sides. gave
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 7: us lots of time taking the issues very seriously. And there,
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 7: at its core, how did this Mondani stacked rent guidelines
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 7: board that's supposed to be independent, how did they, for
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 7: the first time in their 57-year history, decide that zero
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 7: rent freeze for one-year leases, zero rent freeze for two-year leases,
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 7: and you know, straight zero zeros across the board. First
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 7: time in city history. How did they decide that this
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 7: year was different than every other year? There's no explanation
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 7: for it. It isn't. Landlords are suffering. Affordability goes two
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 7: ways for landlords and for tenants. Landlords costs are rising,
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 7: soaring past the rate of inflation. Their income is down.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 7: By the rent guideline board's own analysis, landlords will be
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 7: way underwater next year if they don't get multiple percent increases.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 7: Yet this board concluded zero, zero across the board for
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 7: the first time in city history. Insane. How did that happen?
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 7: Mayor makes a campaign promise, comes into office, guarantees it,
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 7: puts some on the scale. And lo and behold, we
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 7: have a decision that is indefensible and illegal.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 2: That's why we're in court. Yeah, he points six out
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 2: of the nine members are his and his. Like you said,
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 2: he made the promise. Somebody said to me a couple
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 2: of days ago, they said, you know, has Mamdani been
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: able to really keep any of his promises? And I said,
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 2: not really. So he's at the point now where he's
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 2: so desperate. He's so desperate, Randy Mastro, to keep one
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 2: of his campaign promises that he's doing this. He also complains,
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 2: mind you, that some of these buildings, let's be honest,
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: need some work. But how will the landlords be able
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 2: to afford to do this work? if they're going to
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 2: freeze the rent.
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 7: Precisely. There are, and this data was before the board, 50,000
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 7: vacant apartments where the landlords can't afford to rehab them
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 7: or took them off the market because they can't afford that.
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 7: How is that good policy for people who need affordable housing?
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 7: That is insane. The rent guidelines board is supposed to
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 7: strike a balance between landlords and tenants' interest. It has
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 7: a statutory mandate to consider factors that relate to both
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 7: landlords and tenants. But in this year, the Mondani year
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 7: with the Mondani Stacked Board, they elevated aggregate affordability for
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 7: tenants above all else and ignored or manipulated the data
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 7: to understate the rest. That's wrong, and that's illegal, and
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 7: that's why we're in court.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 2: I would imagine, I don't know this, Randy, but the
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 2: folks that are still there left over from Eric Adams' era,
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 2: that they're on board with you, or is that an
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 2: assumption that you really can't prove?
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 7: Well, one of those board members quit on the morning
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 7: of the vote.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, good for him.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 7: Because she would not be a part of a process
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 7: that was a sham with a predetermined outcome. She she
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 7: was very vocal about the fact that this board's decisions
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 7: have always been data driven. And we have a statutory mandate.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 7: And the board this year, unlike any other year, was
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 7: ignoring that. And she would not be a part of it.
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 7: So she quit the morning of the vote.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 2: Good for her. Funny, because I was just texting at
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 2: the same time I was talking to you another Randy
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 2: that I absolutely love, who's also an attorney, Randy Levine.
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 2: I'm talking to Randy Mastro. I'm texting with Randy Levine.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: But I'm not an attorney. I'm married to a beautiful attorney,
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 2: but I'm not one. So I come from a more,
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 2: you know, from a commonplace question in these conversations. And
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: I would say to you that if you're in court
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 2: on Monday on Staten Island, Randy Mastro, trying to protect you, homeowners,
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 2: co-op owners, apartment owners on Staten Island, and then you're
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 2: in court another five hours a day after that trying
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 2: to protect landlords, I would just assume, and I could
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 2: be wrong, all this is very, very bad moving forward
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: for the real estate business in New York. Or am
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 2: I wrong? I could be wrong.
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 7: Well, that's why we're in court, Sid, to make sure
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 7: that this administration complies with the rule of law and
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 7: follows the law so that everyone is treated fairly. that
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 7: small landlords who are suffering are treated fairly, that homeowners,
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 7: despite the mayor's antipathy to private property ownership, that homeowners
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 7: are treated fairly. And that's why these cases are so important.
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 2: I got to tell you, in the, I guess, spirit
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 2: of sports, you love sports, Randy, I know you do.
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 2: I know you do. We could be talking about, I
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 2: don't know, Ali Frazier. The modern version of Ali Frazier
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 2: right now is Mastro Banks. Randy Mastro versus Stephen Banks.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, you got to wake up every day and
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 2: fight with this guy. How's that going for you?
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 7: Well, look, I don't like to personalize things. It's not personal.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 7: It's business. But he's the corporation counsel. And frankly, I've
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 7: never seen in any administration the Corporation Counsel, the city's
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 7: top lawyer, showing up in court himself every time the
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 7: city's law department appears. That would be like the U.S.
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 7: Attorney General showing up in court all the time when
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 7: the Justice Department is on a case.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 2: Right, that never happens. So why do you think that
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 2: that's the case?
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 7: Well, because these cases are against the mayor, and they
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 7: are about priorities of a socialist mayor. These cases are
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 7: about law, not policy, but they're policies he cares about,
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 7: even though they're socialist policies. And therefore, he has the
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 7: head of the city's law department going into court personally.
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 7: To me, this is all about the rule of law.
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 7: and making sure a new administration, socialist or otherwise, complies
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 7: with the rule of law. And this mayor is not
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 7: complying with the rule of law, and he's hurting a
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 7: lot of New Yorkers in the process.
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 2: He really is. On the way out, one more, and again,
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 2: from a complete place of ignorance, I just don't know.
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 2: All these people on this list, 17,000, now down to 10,000,
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 2: and maybe you're right, it'll be 5,000 by the time
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 2: it's all said and done. Have you talked to a
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 2: bunch of these folks? Is that part of your responsibility?
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 7: Absolutely. I've heard from hundreds, hundreds of homeowners who got
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 7: these notices and never should have been contacted because they
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 7: are New York City residents. Right.
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 2: So if you're a homeowner right now or a co-op owner,
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 2: a million dollars, not five million, but whatever it is,
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 2: and you don't know about this. You just put me
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 2: on just now. Randy Mastro is out there to help you.
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 2: And is it easy to find you? I mean, you're
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 2: a big-time guy. How about, you know, Irv Schwartz, who
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 2: lives in Sheepshead Bay? How does he find Randy Mastro?
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 7: Well, you know, I don't hide where I am. I'm
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 7: at the Deckert Law Firm, D-E-C-H-E-R-T. You can contact me
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 7: there anytime, randy.mastro at deckert.com. And we will get back
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 7: to you on the status. But if we win... the
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 7: city will have to do it over again. And they'll
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 7: only be able to contact people the city has determined
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 7: owe the tax. So you will have won from that.
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 7: But we have already won a lot, Sid, in the
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 7: sense that the city has had to admit in the
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 7: less than a month since we brought the lawsuit that
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 7: they sent these notices in error to 7,000 New Yorkers.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 7: And that's a good thing.
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 2: That's a big win. Last question for you, Randy. Do
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 2: you have an ETA as to when you'll get a
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 2: decision for this, because I think it's going to end
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 2: up in your favor. But whether or not that's the case,
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 2: any ETA?
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 7: I think in both cases, we will hear in September.
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 7: I think both judges, given how quickly they scheduled the
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 7: hearings and all the time and attention they're devoting to it,
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 7: really appreciate them, are making this a top priority to
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 7: get a decision out quickly. But I think we'll hear
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 7: sometime in September, and I think well before the end
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 7: of September.
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 2: All right. The freezing rent case and, of course, the
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 2: second tax case. And I'm hearing the lovely things like
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 2: a bunch of attorneys. Everybody listens to this show. You
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 2: know that, Randy, everybody. And all saying nice things about
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 2: Ozzie and specifically Landry, who I guess at one point
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 2: ran the Republican Club out there on Staten Island. So
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 2: he's got a lot of fans who listen. to this show.
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 2: Either way, Randy Mastro, you are a hero. I mean this,
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 2: what you're doing for the people here in New York
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 2: is really beautiful. So above and beyond, you know, doing
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 2: the right thing and proving that this administration did something
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 2: wrong and illegal. What you're doing is actually very, very nice.
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 2: And I appreciate you. Thank you so much.
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 7: Appreciate you. And you're, you're too kind, but always love
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 7: being with you.
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 2: Love having you too. That's my friend, Randy Mastro, who
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 2: did not one, but two amazing jobs. with two mayors,
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 2: Rudy Giuliani and Eric Adams, and is now out there today,
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 2: New York, fighting for you, my friend Randy Mastro. More
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 2: to come, Thursday edition.
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 25: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 25: Podcast Network.
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 2: They should have their own sports, I mean, but they
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 2: shouldn't be competing against ours. You know what I'm saying?
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 10: I'm putting down what you're smelling.
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 2: Whatever that means, I don't even know.
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 2: You know, Ina Vernikov is texting me now, so I'm
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 2: trying to do the show and Read her at the
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 2: same time. That's a good idea.
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that's a good idea.
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 2: You know, it's funny, because when I had Ben Shamal
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 2: on the show, Stephanie earlier talking about that whole Borough
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 2: Park thing, who did I call out, guys? Who did
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 2: I call out? If you guys are paying attention, I said,
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 2: I blame Mamdani less than I blame the Jews. Did
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 2: I not say that, guys?
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 10: I heard you.
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 2: Did I not say that at 6.30 this morning? I'm
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 2: not blaming Mamdani. Why not? Good for him. He gets
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 2: to show up. He gets to act as if. He's
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 2: a liar. And we know he hates the Jews. But
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 2: it's on the Jews, not him. I said it at 6.30
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 2: this morning. I said it to Stephanie. I've been wailing
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 2: all day about the Jews in general. How the White House,
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 2: and people blame Marty Marks, they blame others. How the
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 2: White House has allowed Rabbi Teitelbaum from the Satmar community,
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 2: who loves Mamdani, how he's allowed to sit with President
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 2: Trump today, which he's going to do, amongst other rabbis,
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 2: and how the Jews in Borough Park welcomed Mamdani with
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 2: open arms. So when I think he feels the same way,
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 2: I was less critical of Mamdani, and obviously I've been
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 2: hammering the Jews. What are you doing? What are you doing?
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 2: I don't get it. I don't get it. Why would
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 2: you invite this raging anti-Semite into one of your most
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 2: legendary stores literally a week before the Jewish New Year,
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 2: Rosh Hashanah? Why would you do that? Why?
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 2: Because it's all about the money and favors and he's
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 2: the mayor. And I felt badly saying that because they're
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 2: my people, they're Jewish. But that's a fact. You know,
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 2: these Satmar Jews, these Orthodox Jews, they surround themselves with
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 2: terrible Democrats. They endorse terrible Democrats. And now Mamdani? I mean,
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 2: even if you like Democrats, that's bad, okay? We know that.
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 2: They are the party of Rashida Tlaib. They are the
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 2: party of Ilhan Omar. They're the party of Abdul El-Sayed.
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 2: We know that. But stay away from those specific people, okay?
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 2: How could any decent Jew be in a store with
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 2: this mayor and actually want to take a selfie, actually
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 2: want to shake his hand? One guy, one dope actually said,
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 2: happy holidays.
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 24: What?
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 2: What holiday is that? I thought we passed Ramadan already.
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Happy holidays, Mr.
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 19: Mayor.
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 2: And that gave the mayor an opportunity, and I wanted
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 2: to kill myself, to say, Lashana Tova. Shut up. Remember
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 2: when Will Smith said, you don't want to hear his wife.
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 2: Take my wife out of your mouth. I think J.D.
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 2: Vance said the same thing about his wife to Syed
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 2: a couple of days ago. Well, I'm saying that to Mamdani.
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 2: Take those words out of your mouth. I don't ever
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 2: want to hear Mamdani say L'shanah Tovah. Ever. But the
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 2: Jews let it happen. And they do it all the time.
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 2: And then one portion of Jews gets all angry and
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 2: they march and they have these rallies and like end
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 2: Jew hatred. They do a good job. Brooke Goldstein does
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 2: a good job. The Lawfare Project. She's going to join
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 2: me coming up in about 15 minutes. And they got
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 2: a big rally coming up. I think the 8th. What's
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 2: it called? Unite Against Terror or something, Justin? Something like that.
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 2: I got to double check the flyer. I think it
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 2: is something like that. But either way, the Jews are
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 2: their own worst enemy. We're our own worst enemy. We
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 2: do things that no other ethnicity, religion would allow to
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 2: happen without getting really pissed. So I get pissed. Ina's
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 2: pissed and other people are pissed, but I'm the voice
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 2: you hear every day, four hours a day, 20 hours
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 2: a week. So it's my responsibility. And sometimes I say
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 2: things that make people shake their heads. But I got
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 2: to do that because if I don't do that, then
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 2: you're not going to remember it in six hours. See,
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 2: when I say oral favors between Teitelbaum and Mamdani, even
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 2: though some will say, well, that's disgusting. He's a rabbi.
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 2: How can you say that? First of all, he's not
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 2: my rabbi, okay? And I don't like him. But when
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 2: I say that... Love it or hate it, you're going
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 2: to talk about it in six hours. If I just said,
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't understand why they would bring Rabbi
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 2: Teitelbaum to the White House.
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 7: Hello?
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 2: That's right. There's nothing there. Crickets, baby.
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 10: Crickets.
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 2: Right. You talk about a B.J., And they do their podcast.
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 2: Everybody perks up. I mean, we've got podcasts on it,
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 2: and Senk is talking about me this morning without a Kasparian,
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 2: two terrible people.
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 7: Good!
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 2: They weren't even talking about that. They were talking about
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 2: my critique of J.D. Vance at the RJC in Vegas.
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 2: So I do it a little differently, I know. But
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 2: you remember. You bastards, you remember. And that's the way
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 2: it should be. You got to drive it home, right, Louis?
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 10: What did he say?
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 2: That's what MJ said last night. I could have sworn
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 2: she said that. You got to drive it home, Louis.
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 2: You got to drive it home.
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 10: I didn't think she was that loud, but I guess.
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 2: I am 30 blocks away, so.
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 10: Yeah, but you don't have your hearing aid.
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 2: No, I don't. No, I don't. But with these things on,
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 2: my ears were great.
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 10: Oh, good.
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 2: They work better than ever. But once these come off,
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 2: I can't hear a damn thing. All right, we got
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 2: Brooke Goldstein coming up. How's that DJing? We got more
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 2: to do. We're not done. Not nearly done. Brian Kilmeade
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 2: takes over in about 40 minutes.
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 25: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 25: Podcast Network.
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 2: Five days after your party and Melody's.
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 10: All right. What is the function?
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 2: Well, if I tell you that, you're going to get it. Oh.
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you anyway. The function is wedding. White wedding. Okay.
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 10: So that. That's not that clear.
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 2: It's not that clear? Okay.
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 10: Whose wedding it's going to be?
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 2: Yes. Well, it ain't going to be Don. He's dead.
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 2: It could be Deirdre.
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 10: Well, thanks for that great hint.
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 2: Who could be getting married to his fiancée, Jordan?
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 10: Who was on the Imus show?
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 2: Well, he's got an Imus connection. He was on the show,
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 2: I'm sure, but certainly has a very deep Imus connection.
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 2: He's been on this show a bunch the last couple
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 2: of months.
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 10: Okay, I'm still going to.
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 10: Jordan, I don't know.
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 2: Wyatt Imus is getting married. Oh, wow, I forgot that. Well,
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 2: that's because you blocked it on purpose. I mean, I
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 2: gave you every hint. Wyatt is getting married five days
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 2: after Melanie McGurk.
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 10: I'm sure my subconscious blocked it.
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. Not on purpose. Well, congratulations to
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 2: Wyatt and Jordan getting married on the 15th. But think
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 2: about how funny that is. In a five-day period, Bernie, Lou,
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 2: and Dimas. All in October. It's pretty wild.
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 10: Well, the fact that those two weddings are happening.
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 2: I know. Five days apart. Bernie's daughter and Imus's son.
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 2: Five days apart. Isn't that weird?
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 10: That's very weird.
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 2: Right? Yeah, that's weird. Did you get your invitation for
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 2: Wyatt's wedding?
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 23: I'm sure it's waiting at home somewhere, but, you know,
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 23: my downstairs is usually a mess with those things.
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 10: I mean, the mailboxes are all confused.
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 10: So I'll be looking forward to that.
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 2: He sent me a picture yesterday, one of the horses
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 2: he's got that he, you know, he trains these show
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 2: horses and he sells them. And people make a lot
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 2: of money. Bo Dito's already made money. I got Vinny
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 2: Viola possibly buying one. And he named one of the
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 2: horses Empire State Sid. And it turns out this horse
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 2: is a little rambunctious, if you will. It's like tried
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 2: to run off the farm a couple of times down
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 2: there in Texas. So anyway, he sent me a picture
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 2: of the horse yesterday, and he got the invitation in
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 2: the mail the same day that he's getting married. So congratulations.
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 2: You know, people die, right? And good things happen. For example,
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 2: Don dies, and his son is getting married, okay? Bernie dies,
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 2: and his daughter is getting married, and he's been a
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 2: grandfather twice since he died. His son Brandon's had two kids.
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 2: So my theory is a lot of good stuff is
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 2: going to happen when I'm dead.
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 2: Like maybe a Marconi Award or my kids will get
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 2: married or I don't know.
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 10: You mean posthumously?
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 2: Yes. That's why I was happy to make the Hall
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 2: of Fame this year. Don't you love when they do that?
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 2: Pete Rose, congratulations. He's dead. I mean, why don't they
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 2: do stuff with people when they're alive? Like whatever you're
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 2: going to do for Gloria Steinem the next week or so,
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 2: they should have done it last week. Yeah.
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 7: Of course.
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, she may not have been in any
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 2: position to know what's going on. I don't know what
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 2: her status was, but they wait for people to die
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 2: to celebrate. them. And I just don't get that. I
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 10: Hey, we didn't know you existed, but you're dead now.
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 2: Now you're a big deal.
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 10: Now we know you exist.
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 2: And you're a big deal. Well, we do that, too.
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 2: You know, we take horrible people. And then they die,
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 2: and it's like they were sainted. Oh, come on, he
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 2: was a good guy. No, he was a prick. Nah,
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 2: come on, he was a good guy. Somebody dies, and
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, no matter what they've done bad,
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 2: they're not bad.
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 10: No, of course. Well, you're an example of that. You've
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 10: done it the last couple years.
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 2: I do it with Darren Imus.
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 10: That's what I'm saying.
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 2: I hated working for him. When he first died, I
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 2: was very nasty. And every day that goes by now,
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 2: I like him more and more. Because I realize what
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 2: he meant to me, Tilde. He's got a tremendous amount
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 2: of influence on me. How can I deny that? How
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 2: can I deny it?
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 10: You don't have to deny it.
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 2: You could be both, I guess you're saying. Yeah, of course.
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 10: You don't have to deny that. Those things exist.
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 2: They could both exist, yeah. Of course. What can I
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 2: tell you? With him, I don't know.
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 10: He taught me a lot of things, too.
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 7: Sure.
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 10: Of course. I don't deny any of that.
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 2: No, but I mean people like Senua, for example. They're
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 2: not a bad guy.
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 23: I'm sure he appreciates being compared with Sinwar.
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 2: I can tell you this. If Mamdani passed away today,
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 2: I promise you I would not be saying tomorrow morning,
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 2: you know what? In retrospect, he wasn't a bad guy.
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 2: He wished a couple of stupid Jews in Boroparka Lashonatova.
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 2: You believe that?
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 10: Yeah, he's friends with terrorists.
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 2: He's over.
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 10: He's all good.
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 2: That's fine. Terrorists are dead anyway. Leave him alone. He's
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 2: not bad. Come on.
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 10: What about, here's a, Example, when a musical artist, a
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 10: big one, dies.
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 2: Like Bruce?
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 2: Okay. When Bruce dies?
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 10: Why do the sales of their records go up?
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 2: Because they're not making any more. Unless you're Prince. Prince
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 2: has albums for like the next 30 years.
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 10: Yes, they are. They keep making things.
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 2: Well, they can't make it once they're dead, though, Louis.
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 2: You understand that?
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 10: No, I mean, I'm not talking about new things. Well,
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 10: that's why it's... I'm just talking about you should own
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 10: it already.
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 2: No, I know. I love Bruce. Well, listen, to this day,
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 2: on this day, I guarantee you, Elvis, the Beatles, Michael Jackson,
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 2: selling albums out the air today.
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 2: I know. Even the great Slim Whitman. How about the
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 2: great Slim Whitman?
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 10: Well, they can't get mine. Mine are all personally autographed.
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 2: Is that true?
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 10: So good luck with that.
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 2: Well, you're right about it. But again, it's because they're gone.
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 2: And at that point, we find some special attachment, which
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 2: is silly to your point.
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 7: It's silly.
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 10: But I'm saying if you're a fan, you should have it.
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 2: Should have had them before.
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 18: Right.
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 2: You should. Sure.
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 2: But if you're young, though, you didn't know. Like, there's
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 2: a whole generation of kids watching The Sopranos. They didn't
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 2: know about it.
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 10: They didn't know.
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 2: Right. So there's an age, you're saying.
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 10: Great point.
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, have you not heard off the wall for
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 2: 40 years?
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 10: Yeah, of course.
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 2: Or Billie Jean?
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 2: Or Thriller? I got to take a break.
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 10: I better go out and get some of those before
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 10: they're gone. I'm glad you reminded me.
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 2: Brooke Goldstein is coming up next. There is a very
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 2: big rally. I believe it comes your way September 8th.
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 2: And I think I'm going to be in Dallas. I'm
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 2: going to miss it. I did see Jane Circle in
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 2: Las Vegas this weekend. Sweet girl who works alongside Brooke.
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 2: End you hatred. And Brooke, of course, the Lawfare Project.
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 2: She's really terrific, Brooke Goldstein. We'll take a break. We'll
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 2: talk to my friend Brooke. Coming up.
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 25: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 25: Podcast Network.
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 19: Most interesting element of this upcoming visit is not this Trumpism.
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 19: I'm not getting carried away. I'm past my teenage years,
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 19: but rather to watch what happens between these two brothers,
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 19: which I'm going to be very curious to see. Of course,
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 19: in the political arena, there is a big brouhaha in
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 19: response to this visit. Some kind of blowhard, Sid Rosenberg,
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 19: published a tweet saying, this is a huge mistake. The
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 19: rabbi's a terrible guy and there's no right being anywhere
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 19: near POTUS. This rabbi sucks off New York City mayor
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 19: at every opportunity. and has more than once screwed the
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 19: good Jews. Come on, Marty, you can't do this, please.
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 19: I kill this guy and Rabbi Indig on my show.
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 19: I can't stand political language. This is not my thing.
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 7: This is not my world.
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 19: I should stay out of this. But Kol Ho Olam,
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 19: which is an Orthodox media, sent a tweet saying Trump's
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 19: planned visit with six rabbis and a Rosh Hashiva is
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 19: on shaky ground, with Trump allies Laura Loomer and Sid
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 19: Rosenberg urging him to cancel it, and several rabbis are
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 19: reluctant to spend a day in D.C., so close to
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 19: Rosh Hashanah. Reports say the meeting may be called off.
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 19: That's where we stand as of Tuesday at 3.20.
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 2: September the 8th, which I believe is Tuesday, right? That
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 2: comes your way Tuesday. 6 p.m. right outside the DSA
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 2: headquarters in New York City. That's on 14 Jefferson Street.
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 2: And the founder of the Lawfare Project and End Jew Hatred,
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 2: who's been on the show a bunch of times. I
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 2: think she's great. Brooke Goldstein is here again. Brooke, good morning.
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 7: I'm great.
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 17: Thank you for having me again. I appreciate it.
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 2: You did a great job last time, too. You guys
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 2: had that big rally outside of Gracie Mansion. That's the
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 2: last time you were here to go after the mayor. Now,
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 2: this time, Unite Against Terror Rally. But folks that aren't sure,
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 2: is that about just solidarity amongst New Yorkers for 25
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 2: years or the fact that the mayor feels his compulsion
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 2: to be down there that day when really nobody wants
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 2: him there? Which one is that?
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 17: Well, it's all of the above and it's more. And first,
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 17: I want to thank you because you are a huge
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 17: part of making the Anti-Mom Donnie rally a success. We
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 17: had over a thousand people show up outside of Gracie Mansion.
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 17: And this time we're taking it to the DSA headquarters
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 17: downtown this September the 8th. at 6 p.m. at the
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 17: corner of Essex and Stroud Square, which is just around
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 17: the corner from the DSA. Now, this is coming right
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 17: before September 11th, and I want to be very clear
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 17: what this is about, all right? September 11th was an
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 17: attack driven by Islamist extremism. This ideology was not defeated.
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 17: It has become normalized. And the lessons of 9-11 is
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 17: that we cannot let extremist ideology fester in the United States.
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 17: And the number one proponent of anti-Americanism, extremist Islamist ideology
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 17: is the DSA. The DSA is the Trojan horse for
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 17: radical Islam. They went on October the 8th. They promoted
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 17: a rally one day after the attack against Israelis on
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 17: October the 7th. They supported Hamas. They supported candidates like Mamdani.
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 17: They have DSA-associated candidates. And their mouthpiece, Assan Piker, saying
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 17: America deserves 9-11. They're supporting candidates like Abdul Al-Said, who's
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 17: running an anti-American Islamic extremist campaign in Michigan. And you
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 17: know what's so ironic about this? Their number one complaint?
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 7: Jews.
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 2: Jews. And one of the people... What's.
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 17: Happening on the streets of Michigan?
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 17: What's happening on the streets of Dearborn? They're not waving
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 17: American flags. You have these massive gatherings of radical Muslims.
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 17: They're not pledging allegiance to America. They're waving Hezbollah flags.
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 17: They're waving Hamas flags. They're going on records. They're being
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 17: interviewed pledging allegiance to foreign Islamic nations and terrorist groups.
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 17: So to divert your attention away from what's really going
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 17: on here, which is an invasion of extremist Islamist ideology
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 17: that is legitimized by the DSA, they want you to
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 17: focus on the so-called Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Don't worry about Qatar
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 17: funding our schools to the tunes of billions of dollars.
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 17: Don't worry about the fact that the candidates that they
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 17: support are backed by Muslim Brotherhood money, a group that
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 17: has literally dedicated itself to destroying America. No, Jewish influence
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 17: is the problem. America is the problem. Capitalism is the problem.
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 17: We've heard this before. This has to be defeated. And
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 17: this is why hundreds, if not thousands of Americans are
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 17: showing up. And guess who we're showing up with? We're
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 17: showing up with the family members of victims of 9-11.
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 17: We have Giovanni Galante, who started the Mamdani petition that
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 17: he should not show up on 9-11. He is going
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 17: to be one of our lead speakers. We have Michael Weinstein,
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 17: another 9-11 family member. Walter Matusa, another 9-11 family member.
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 17: They are showing up as proud Americans. to protest the DSA.
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 15: Great.
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 17: And I'll tell you something else. One more thing. When
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 17: you look at the history books and you see who
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 17: saved America, it's going to be those who spoke at
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 17: these protests and rallies, those who had the courage to
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 17: stand up, to show up, and to protest against the
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 17: extremism taking over our country.
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 2: Well said. Giovanni Galante came on this show when he
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 2: only had 1,400 signatures. A week later, he had 80,000.
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 2: He's been on this show two or three times. Him
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 2: and Charles Wolfe and Jeanette Pick, a whole bunch of them.
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 2: So he is a huge Sid Rosenberg and Sid and
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 2: Friends in the Morning fan, Giovanni Galante. And he's done
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 2: a great job. Chevalier is the lady running for Congress
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 2: that Mamdani actually endorsed. that went to that rally on
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 2: October the 8th, 2023, and glorified what Hamas did. So
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 2: just so you guys know, you got Chevalier, you got
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 2: Claire Valdez. We got our own here in New York.
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 2: And they got to say that he's in Michigan, okay?
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 2: And Mike Rogers is going to beat him. We got
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 2: plenty of those folks running in November, and some of
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 2: them are going to win. That brings me to J.D. Vance.
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 2: So I spent the weekend in Las Vegas. I saw
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 2: our mutual friend, Jane Zirkle. And my cousin runs the
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 2: the RJC, Norm Coleman and Matt Brooks, and they decided
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 2: this year that the keynote speaker was going to be
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 2: Vice President J.D. Vance, okay? And I spoke earlier that day,
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 2: and I said, even though I'm a Marco Rubio guy
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 2: through and through, I'm Ted Cruz, give Vance a chance.
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 2: Because in the end, Vance against a Democrat, Brooke, I'm
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 2: voting for Vance, okay? But he's not my favorite. Not
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 2: even top three. Long story short, he speaks. I was disappointed.
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 2: I went to Twitter. I blasted him. And now I'm
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 2: getting backlash from all kinds of people. What are your
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 2: thoughts on the possibility of J.D. Vance being the president,
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 2: being the way he speaks about Israel and specifically his
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 2: relationship with Tucker Carlson?
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 17: Well, again, I would– and this is my personal point
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 17: of view. I would really hesitate to even make this
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 17: about Israel. It's not even about what the vice president
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 17: thinks about Israel.
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, what are his views?
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 17: Why is he hosting a Hamptons fundraiser with Omid Malik?
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 17: Why is he not stronger in his rhetoric when it
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 17: comes to criticizing Tucker Carlson and his insanity and his madness?
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 17: And how can we make this difference? He's trying to
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 17: distinguish between a Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes. The only
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 17: difference is that Tucker is older with a more media following,
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 17: and Nick is younger with a new audience and just
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 17: a little bit more crass. I mean, he just seems
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 17: to have flip-flops.
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 2: He is.
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 17: was very strong against Iran. He openly advocated for military
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 17: action against Iran at the RNC in 2024. And it
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 17: seems as though he's done a flip-flop. It's an issue. So,
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 17: you know, backpedaling on things that are so important to
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 17: American national security less than two years later really makes
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 17: you question what his core values are. And so then
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 17: he went to speak. And I'm not quite sure why
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 17: it was such a secret closed door meeting that then
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 17: got leaked. I mean, these are the vice president of
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 17: the United States. These are public positions. And he said
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 17: all the things that the audience wanted. I would want
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 17: him to say I had actually no problem with anything
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 17: that he said. I think he was really strong against radicalism,
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 17: obviously on the left. But, you know, you got to
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 17: be strong against radicalism and extremism, both on the left
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 17: and the right. And the latter is a little bit
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 17: disappointing right now.
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 2: Excellent answer. Well said. All right, so let's get back
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 2: to this big rally coming up on Tuesday. Again, you
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 2: mentioned families of the 9-11 victims are going to be there.
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 2: That is a huge, huge thing. Now, last time, when
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 2: you drew 1,000 people outside Gracie Mansion, you had about
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 2: 30 speakers. What can people expect to see next Tuesday?
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 17: Okay, so I haven't counted the number of speakers, but
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 17: I think there are about 20, 25. I mentioned the
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 17: 9-11 family members. We have the amazing Lizzie Sivetsky coming.
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 17: We have Shabbos Kestenbaum, who's a huge PragerU personality, absolute genius.
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 17: We have the incredibly beautiful Tanya Zuckerbrot, who's also an activist,
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 17: the Anila Ali, who is the head of the American
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 17: Muslim and Multifaith Women's Empowerment Council, an incredible lineup. Of course,
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 17: I'm going to be there. Sid, you are always invited
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 17: to speak. You always happen to be out of town.
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 2: When we do this. No, you do realize that President
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 2: Trump and all of us Republicans have our midterm convention
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 2: on that day we start in Dallas. That's a big deal.
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 2: So I have to go to Dallas.
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 17: This is a couple days before 9-11, and I hope
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 17: you're going to be spreading the message there as well.
• 2:11:29
  Speaker 17: And again, it's not just radicalism within the DSA. You're
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 17: seeing it in the extreme left, and you're seeing it
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 17: now in the woke right. And it's quite problematic in
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 17: this country, and it has to be defeated. And the
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 17: only way for it to be defeated is for regular
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 17: folks like me, like you, to show up on September
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 17: the 8th at 6 p.m., to protest 25 years after 9-11.
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 17: We are remembering this, but they are excusing it, okay?
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 17: In 2001, they needed their planes. Today, the DSA literally
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 17: hands Islamist radicals a platform and supports them. That is
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 17: where we are 25 years after 9-11. It's unacceptable. Show
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 17: up September the 8th. at 6 p.m. at the corner
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 17: of Essex and Strauss. Obviously, you can go to our socials,
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 17: EndJewHatred on Instagram. Go to my socials, and you'll see updates,
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 17: rally updates there.
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 2: What a great job, Brooke Goldstein, once again, the founder
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 2: of the Lawfare Project. EndJewHatred. Brooke is on the right
• 2:12:30
  Speaker 2: side of things all the time, and one of our...
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 2: Real great heroes and fighters. Really excellent, excellent lady. Brooke,
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 2: great job here today. Best of luck on Tuesday. If
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 2: something gets canceled, I'll see you out there. If not,
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 2: I'll be talking for you in Dallas. Thank you so much.
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 2: Thank you. God bless you. Brooke Goldstein right there. The
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 2: rally is your night against terror rally comes your way
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 2: this Tuesday night outside the DSA headquarters, 14 Jefferson Street
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 2: in New York City. And it all begins at 6 p.m.
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 2: Short break. Come back. Wrap things up. Maybe it's over now.
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 2: I'm not even sure. I think it is.
