Miranda Devine | New York Post Columnist | 04-27-26 · Sid & Friends In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I've got Miranda Divine, the amazing New York Post columnists,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: and I love watching Miranda's Twitter too. She's got a
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: great Twitter, and she has often actually said nice things
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: about my Twitter. I go nuts, courage, I get crazy.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I destroy the Democrats on my Twitter. I think like
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: nobody else, I'm really vicious but tough. You know, people
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: keep asking the question, like Peter Doocey did the President
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Trump on Saturday Night? Why does this keep happening to you?
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: And it's one word Democrats? Right, he talked about Trump
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: being consequential. That's true, very maybe the most he talked
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: about other people, Abe Lincoln, John Kennedy or that's true.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: They don't go after you if you have vanilla or
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: your milk toast, they don't care.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: It's like this business.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: The reason why I'm so popular is because as many
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: people hate me as they do love me. That's the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: way you want it. If they just love you, you're
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: going nowhere. No, they just hate you going nowhere. You
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: want a nice little balance. And that's what Trump has.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: People like me that adore him, and people like call
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Alan that want him dead. But the one word, it's
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: a one word answer. Why does this keep happening to you,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: President Trump. The word is democrats. Something tells me, Miranda,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the vine is going to agree. What do you think, Miranda?
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: You're absolutely right, said, and I think your tweet that
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: you put up straight after the attack or the foiled
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: attack is spot on. You said. They will keep trying
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: as long as the left keeps lying.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Barry, good, thank you the truth.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: You know you read the manifesto of this innit Cale Allan,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: and he's a teacher, of course, brainwashing other kids, but
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: he himself has been brainwashed by these. A standard Democrat
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: at talking points, they call Donald Trump a pedophile, a rapist,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: a traitor, the antichrist, hitler, nazi, you name it. Every
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: bad word that you can think of they apply to
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump. And the more he succeeds, the more crazy
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: they get. And these are not just fringe leftists. This
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: is now crept into mainstream thinking. And the way I
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: can prove that is that now there are Democrat candidates
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: just falling over themselves to be pictures pictured on a
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: stage or appearing with Hassan Piker.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Hard to believe that would be the case. I want
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: to play this for you now that you mentioned Hassan Piker.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: This was on Mark Levin's Twitter last night. It's only
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: sixteen seconds, Miranda, but take a listen to this. This
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: is a guy that the Mayor of New York Mum
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: buddies up to. Mamdanni defends this guy as much as
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: he defends Mahmoud Khalil or Nordine Kisswani, all these terrible
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: anti American, anti Israel, anti Jew haters.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: This is Hassan Piker.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: A short montage, sixteen seconds of his hate Classics cut
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: number five.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: This is so insane. America deserved nine to eleven. Dude,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I'm saying it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I don't have any short of patriotism in my heart
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: for any Yeah, for America, but just in general, it
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: doesn't matter if rapes happen on October seven, like that
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: doesn't change the dynamic for me.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Even this much doesn't matter.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: If rapes happened on October seventh, doesn't change anything for him.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: America deserved nine to eleven. As King Charles sets the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: land in DC today, he will be going to the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: nine to eleven memorial with Mom Donnie on Wednesday. What
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: a disgrace that is. King Charles is also going with
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Mom Donni on nine to eleven to commemorate that sacred day. Mom, Donnie,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: what a disgrace that is. So you're right, Hassan Piker
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: may be the worst of them, but I don't give
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I it's Hassan Piker or Hakim Jeffries.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: They're all bad.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: They're all bad. There's no discernment anymore. And any you know,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: you look at John Fennerman, here's the only sensible Democrat left.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: And here's what the Democrats used to be. He's an
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: old school Democrat before it got taken over by the
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: mad left. And he comes out the other night immediately
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: and he says, well, will his party just drop the teds,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: drop the Trump derangements syndrome, and let Donald Trump build
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: his ballroom.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: That's what he said.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Of course the ballroom. Yes, the ballroom is secure, as
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump told us. Right. It will have you know,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: bulletproof glass, it'll be drone proof, it has a butt.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: He's now revealed that it will have a bunker underground
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: that the military want. There's already one in the White House,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: but it's old, you know, it's not fit for today's purpose.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: So that the reason that the ballroom is taking longer
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: and has to be quite drastic. Is because they're going
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: down so many floors below ground, and that is why
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: the ballroom is so necessary. And you know, you have
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: to have a large venue through exactly situations like that
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: at the White House correspondence dinner.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I was there.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: It's a huge room and it was us a pandemonium
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: and the thing that exacerbated the problem inside after you know,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: the gunman was apprehended and the Secret Service was rampaging
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: through because they thought there might be multiple gunment. There
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: was no cell phone service, were very difficult to get
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: cell phone service in there, so you trapped in this
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: huge room with god knows what happening outside and you
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: can't even get the self fyneck.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: It's interesting because I know you were in there. That's
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: part of the reason why you're on today. I love
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you anyway, Miranda. You know that you're great.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: But this Pete de.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Bryant killed me early early this morning, in the six
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: am hour. He was there. He actually said that it
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: wasn't as chaotic as as you might imagine. Bill or
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: while he's going to join me in about thirty minutes,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: he was also there. But I can tell you that
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: my friend Horn met Dylon, who happens to run the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Civil Rights Department of the DOJ. Todd Blanche's assistant. She
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: got kicked in the base by one of the Secret
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Service guys jumping on a table and actually ended up
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: with a laceration and a cut under her eye. So
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: depending upon who you talk to, I got varying stories
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: about whether it was chaotic or not. But you're going
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: with it was very chaotic, guess one hundred percent.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: I mean you can say it wasn't kadik. What I
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: would say is I wasn't scared, but I think it
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: was because, you know, the adrenalines going. And also it
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: was just so confusing because at one minute, we've got
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: the you know, the on a guard marching up the
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: aisle and presenting to Donald Trump and everyone standing to
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: do the national anthem. We've just sat down and suddenly
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: it just felt like crockery was breaking sat down in
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: the back.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Did you hear that? Did you hear the gunshots? There
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: were at least five, maybe ten?
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: No, No, I heard it was eight, But no, we
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: didn't hear any gunshots where I was. We were up
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: the front, people down the back. Did hear them? So
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: you know, they told me they heard them so, and
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: I think some of the you know, cameras picked that up,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: but they were at the back. Now, we heard nothing
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: except crockery breaking. And it wasn't even enough to even
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: turn your head because you just think, oh, you know,
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: our waiters just dropped a trap of plates or glasses, right,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: And then suddenly, you know, you sort of hear the
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: doors fling open and dampeding and people, you know, tables
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: were slipping over more crockery, and so you're turning around
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: and then I looked around. Everyone's like down under there.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: I think Americans are used to that sort of duck
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: cover get to the ground, maybe from school shootings at
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: school or something that I certainly wasn't the first time
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: I've had to do that, So you know, where everyone's
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: sort of on the ground, sort of trying to get low,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: and everyone at my table was so that was pretty kvic.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: And then the Secret Service guys, I was right by
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: the aisle and they're running up. You know, they're heavily
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: armed guys, and they immediately surrounded President Trump on stage.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: You saw the photo I'm sure of the Secret Service
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: agent with his body blocking the president I mean, they
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: were magnificent in the moment. In the moment, right, the
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: security was so lax, And it's just because it was
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: not designated as a kind of special national security event,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: which it should have been in the middle of the war,
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: when you've got the president and the vice president within
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: feed of each other up on stage, plus you had
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: almost the entire cabinet apart from Howard Lutnik who was
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: at another event, and Chap Grazzley in the line of succession,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: all of those people. If it had been multiple gunmen,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: God forbid, if there had been suicide bombers, you could
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: have wiped out the entire line of succession. You would
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: have had Chuck Grazzley, ninety two year old Chap Grazzley
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: as president. So it doesn't bear thinking about. But I
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: think it was a big mistake to have all those
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: people amassed in one room without really stringent security.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: It's almost impossible, though, let's be honest, to have that
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: type of security in a hotel. The hotels there, there's
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: thousands and thousands. I heard Rachel Campbell was yesay on
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Park say, well they should have chucked w room, come.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: On, come on. On his conversation that's silly.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: So maybe moving forward, you don't put it in a venue.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: You've got ten thousand.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Hotel rooms, right, put in the ballroom, right right, nice
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: and easy. Yeah, they'll be nice and easy. You know
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: what struck me, Miranda Devine, was two people in particular,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: one whose father was murdered in a shooting in a
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: hotel and one whose husband was murdered in playing sight
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: out of college. So to me, I took a good
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: look on the videos of Bobby Kennedy and Erica Kirk
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: leaving Saturday night, did jump to see one of them
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: or both of them?
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: No, I didn't. Actually I saw Bobby Kennedy behind me,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: but I didn't see what he was doing. I saw
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: in the photos afterwards he was sitting pretty upright, looking
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: very grave. I didn't see Erica Kirk because she was
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: on the other side, but I did see her images
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: being led out and she was weeping. You know, it's
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: terribly traumatic. It was just not very long ago that
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: her own husband was murdered in public, in cold blood
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: by an assassin, and she's had to live with that
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: trauma ever since. In the video of his death, just
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: doing the rounds and people beliefal about it and people
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: lying about her, and so it's incredibly traumatic for her
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: to come there and it happening all over again. She said,
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: I just want to go home. Yes, she's got little
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: children at home. She doesn't want them orphaned. No.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: You know a lot of people have talked about this unity.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Baromo talked about it a lot yesterday with every guest.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: And I know you wrote this story. DEM's most he
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Trump's call for unity in the wake of frightening shooting
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: reservoir differences. I know he said that I love the man.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: He actually found time to text me yesterday morning. Believe
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: it or not, President Trump sent me a nice text.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I said, how you doing? Sorry, he said, BANK said,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: or what evening? Secret Service did a great job, President DJT,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: which is always an when the President texts me, especially
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: on a acadeic morning like that. But you know, resolving
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: our differences, Miranda, I don't want to anymore like I don't.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry because it's not gonna happen. It's never gonna
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: be genuine. I saw all the tweets yesterday, AOC, even Mom, Donnie.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: I always had two nice meetings with the President at
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: the White House, but he doesn't care about him, Chuck Schumer,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Hakim Jeffries, these people don't care. They don't care, So
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: why go through the motions? Why act as if we care.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I don't care whether they like them or not. I
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: don't want them to shoot them. You know, we went
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: so crazy yesterday because one rep out of California, Maria Perez,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: that must to be a Democrat, said will you please
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: stop trying to murder the president? It was on Fox
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: News about one hundred times yesterday. Who cares, honestly at
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: this point, I don't care. I don't like them, I
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: don't trust them, and they'll be right back at their
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: same old garbage tomorrow. That's the Democrats. We don't need unity,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: We need a sane America. That's my position.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I totally agree with you, because the chance that
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: the Democrats are going to drop their Trump demonization when
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: it's working so well for them. They are so confident
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: that they're going to Blitzkrig the November midterms. They are
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: positive that they're going to get back the House, maybe
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: even the Senate. They're planning what they're going to do
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: with their power, and it's all retaliation. It's nothing about
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: what's good for the country. It's all in peach Trump.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: It's all due witch hunts against Trump's administration. It's all
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: just what they're doing even now, and they don't have
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: the people did not give them power. In Washington, they
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: are doing everything they can to throw sand in the
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: gears of this government. With the shutdowns, with the constant
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: law fair, with the maligning and the demonization, and the
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: unhinged rants. I don't understand. It's not as if the
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Trump administration is really making good headway on some of
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: the things we wish it would in terms of accountability
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: for past wrongdoing. I don't see John Brennan and James
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Comy in jail. You know, none of that has happened.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: You know, they're trying to do it, but it's so difficult.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: They're not unscrupulous like the Democrats. Like the Democrats who
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: came after Donald Trump, all guns blazing, state, federal Jack Smith,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: you name it, every judge, rigged juries in Washington, DC.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: They came after Trump and his supporters so overwhelmingly, and
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: yet you know, outside does a little bit tries and
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Democrats are screaming like stuck pigs, as if something terrible
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: has happened to them. So no, they're not going to
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: change their stripes before the midterms because they see this
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: as a winner for them, and they'll do it again
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: in twenty eight and they'll keep on doing it unless
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: the American public wakes up and punches them in the nose.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Don't let them get back power. Do what you did
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: to them in twenty twenty four when Donald Trump won
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: against all lords. They had a little bit of soul
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: searching after that, for you know, selfish reasons, and then
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: they just went back to their old playbook. So I
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: think if they lose at the midterms, lose again in
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: twenty eight, I think app will be a call for
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: reform in that party. They will toss out the lefties
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: and try and go back to grassroots what the public
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: really wants, instead of pretending putting up candidates like Joe
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: Biden and Abigail Spanburger and Mikey Cheryl pretending they're moderates
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: when they're really wolves in sheep's clothing.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Well said lunatics, All lunatics. I like yours better though,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: wolves and sheep clothing. I just I can't help myself.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I talk like I'm from Brooklyn, even on Twitter.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: But you're the best. Thank you.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you're okay. I was worried about you and
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Brian and the Bill and all my friends on Saturday night. So,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: like you said, it could have been a heck of
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: a lot worse if it really had people planning to
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: know what they were doing. This guy's a fool. Let's
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: be honest. This people are trying to sell me that
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: he was hired. He wasn't hired, this moron. This guy's
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: a teacher in California and he hated Trump, and he
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: had a ridiculous plan. He's been able to run past
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: everybody and eventually shoot the president or his team. It
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: was just silly, But that doesn't mean there aren't evil
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: people at work every day trying to figure out something
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: a lot more dangerous. So I would worry about that. Miranda,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I love you. Excellent job. Thank you so much, Thanks
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: so much, Bye bye bye. Miranda Devine right there, the
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: amazing columnist of the New York Post. She's got a
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: really good podcast too, and I recommend you follow her on.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Twitter as well. She's terrific.
