Latest / Sid & Friends In The Morning / Brian Kilmeade | WABC Radio Host on Former ESPN Anchor Sage Steele Exposing Doc Rivers and His Trump Derangement Syndrome
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: So I always love it when sports and politics intersect.
- 0:04Speaker 1: Brian Kilmeat and I were offered a sports show to
- 0:07Speaker 1: do together many many years ago, like twenty plus years
- 0:11Speaker 1: ago here in New York City, and we both declined.
- 0:14Speaker 1: It was the late nineteen nineties. Now, Brian Kilmeat is
- 0:17Speaker 1: a major superstar in television radio. He's an author of
- 0:21Speaker 1: Live Theater, all that great stuff, and I'm doing pretty
- 0:24Speaker 1: well now. The last couple of days, we've seen a
- 0:27Speaker 1: couple of former, well one former one current ESPN personalities
- 0:32Speaker 1: that have made it to the Big News, one being
- 0:35Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith and one being Sage Steele. So kill
- 0:39Speaker 1: meeters on after me every weekday morning at ten here
- 0:41Speaker 1: on seventy seven WABC does an amazing radio show. He's
- 0:45Speaker 1: part of that threesome every morning Fox and Friends on
- 0:48Speaker 1: Fox News, and he's got the best cable show in
- 0:51Speaker 1: the business ten PM Sunday nights on Fox News One Nation.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Maybe that'll be the next show I get back on
- 0:57Speaker 1: after I'm allowed back at Box. I don't know, but
- 1:00Speaker 1: Sat Steele, it turns out the Lovely Stage Steele has
- 1:04Speaker 1: been getting dms for a long time from NBA coaches,
- 1:08Speaker 1: Doc Rivers and Steve Kerr calling her all kinds of
- 1:13Speaker 1: names like idiot because she supports President Trump, and Stephen A.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Smith got an award two thumbs down from the NABJ
- 1:24Speaker 1: the Black Journalist because he had the nerve to call
- 1:28Speaker 1: out African American females like Jasmine Crockett and Joy Reid
- 1:35Speaker 1: for being a Sean Hannity pointed out nutty. Pretty interesting here, Brian,
- 1:40Speaker 1: you get Saint Steele and Stephen A. Smith that go
- 1:43Speaker 1: from ESPN to mainstream news.
- 1:47Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean these guys are idiots. As Steve Kerr,
- 1:49Speaker 2: I guess you know, as a player, he was fine
- 1:51Speaker 2: when we opened up his mouth. Now that you know
- 1:54Speaker 2: these Golden State Warriors are past his prime. He hasn't
- 1:56Speaker 2: gotten close to the playoffs, so getting close to a championship.
- 1:59Speaker 2: So I don't even know what kind of coach he is,
- 2:01Speaker 2: but every time he gets a chance, he always spouts
- 2:04Speaker 2: his left wing views. Same thing with San Antonio coach
- 2:07Speaker 2: for years Popovich. So instead of just keeping them out
- 2:10Speaker 2: shut and respecting people's point of view it's different from yours,
- 2:13Speaker 2: they go ahead and rip them. If if you're in sports,
- 2:16Speaker 2: you have to have left wing views, Do you really
- 2:18Speaker 2: think Steven A. Smith's gonna melt because of that, or
- 2:21Speaker 2: even stage steal sage steal after what he's been through
- 2:24Speaker 2: personally giving up, you know, being one of the top
- 2:26Speaker 2: backers at ESPN and starting over, which he has done
- 2:29Speaker 2: with a very successful podcast. I love that she's coming
- 2:31Speaker 2: out Doc Rivers crying, remember that a few years ago,
- 2:35Speaker 2: you know, saying You're they're trying to kill us all?
- 2:38Speaker 2: Or why does our country hate country hate me? Meanwhile,
- 2:41Speaker 2: Doc Rivers is doing pretty good in his country. Ever
- 2:44Speaker 2: since he won one championship. He's gotten like six separate
- 2:47Speaker 2: jobs while starring in the NBA, whilst we're leaning back
- 2:51Speaker 2: on a broadcasting career that's always been waiting for him.
- 2:54Speaker 2: I don't know why he hates the country.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Good question. Usually the people that are the loudest lately
- 2:59Speaker 1: are the ones set not doing the best. It's hard
- 3:01Speaker 1: to explain, Brian, kill me, but it happens, happens to
- 3:04Speaker 1: me the truth. So I'm all over the place with
- 3:07Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman these days. You live in Nassau County, Brian,
- 3:09Speaker 1: I know you love Bruce, and I actually was there
- 3:12Speaker 1: on Long Island last week when President Trump came to town.
- 3:15Speaker 1: It was amazing. I even made a trip that night
- 3:17Speaker 1: with Bruce to the Hamptons where he had this big
- 3:20Speaker 1: fundraiser with Stevie Whitcoff. It was great. He's doing a
- 3:22Speaker 1: tremendous job. And now Kathy Hokeel is feeling the pressure.
- 3:26Speaker 1: How do I know that Today's New York Times Kathy
- 3:29Speaker 1: Hokel is actually critical of Mamdannie. Now we know the
- 3:34Speaker 1: truth is Kathy Hokel is scared to death of Mamdani,
- 3:38Speaker 1: scared to death of him. In fact, all these democrats
- 3:41Speaker 1: are from Chuck Schumer, you name it. They're all scared
- 3:44Speaker 1: of Mam Donnie, who's enjoying your vacation this week. But
- 3:46Speaker 1: Hochel comes out and says the mayor should really focus
- 3:50Speaker 1: on New York and not on Israel. Duh, But how
- 3:54Speaker 1: about that Hokel. Clearly Brian Kilmead feeling the pressure.
- 3:58Speaker 2: I love it, And you know, so far it looks
- 4:01Speaker 2: like the Sianta pol which leans left. We all know
- 4:03Speaker 2: that said Bruce is within ten points, and it's even
- 4:06Speaker 2: better than Zelden was doing it at a similar time
- 4:09Speaker 2: he ended up losing by six. Remember this is what
- 4:11Speaker 2: gives me hope for Bruce. Blakeman, because do you remember
- 4:15Speaker 2: the reason why Joe Biden did okay during the mid terms.
- 4:19Speaker 2: It was the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and it
- 4:21Speaker 2: just militarized all these pro choice, pro abortion people so quickly,
- 4:26Speaker 2: you know, Zelden's pro life, and that was an issue,
- 4:28Speaker 2: and that was a hot issue. But Bruce Blakeman is
- 4:32Speaker 2: not a big pro life guy. He's a pro choice guy,
- 4:34Speaker 2: and it's not a hot issue. That's not even a
- 4:36Speaker 2: top ten issue right now, so we can actually focus
- 4:39Speaker 2: on the issues it matter. Did you see the other
- 4:41Speaker 2: story about Morgan Stanley. We're losing four eight hundred financial
- 4:45Speaker 2: jobs out of New York. They just bought a building
- 4:48Speaker 2: in Dallas, so we're losing more and more of the
- 4:51Speaker 2: things that New York was identified with the financial capital
- 4:55Speaker 2: of the world. They're saying not at this price because
- 4:58Speaker 2: the people here on entry level South he can't afford
- 5:01Speaker 2: to live here, and the prices aren't going down and
- 5:03Speaker 2: the quality of living is not going up. So that's
- 5:08Speaker 2: not a combination where you say just more of the same.
- 5:11Speaker 2: I actually think that Mormondami continues with his grocery stores
- 5:15Speaker 2: and his lack of free buses now they're saying they're
- 5:18Speaker 2: looking to subsidize other people's supermarkets and small business that
- 5:23Speaker 2: are affected by his ridiculous government subsidize grocery stores. Wait,
- 5:30Speaker 2: so you're paying other people for and then you're paying
- 5:33Speaker 2: way too much for a supermarket. Where are we getting
- 5:35Speaker 2: this money?
- 5:36Speaker 1: We don't have it. That's the bottom line. I was
- 5:38Speaker 1: actually gonna make a joke before you cut to that.
- 5:40Speaker 1: Who is going to Dallas in two weeks? Sid Rosenberg
- 5:43Speaker 1: and Morgan Stanley. But we got this huge convention coming up.
- 5:47Speaker 1: President Trump talked about it on Truth Social a couple
- 5:49Speaker 1: of days ago, and look, we got to win the midterms.
- 5:52Speaker 1: That's the bottom line. So while people are really caught
- 5:54Speaker 1: up in gas prices and oil and this Iran conflict,
- 5:58Speaker 1: which again I hate to argue with Kat mcfallnan, which
- 6:00Speaker 1: I'm going to do letter on this morning, but it
- 6:02Speaker 1: ain't working. But he's saying, wait a second, look at
- 6:05Speaker 1: the economy. I just had doctor Oz on this show, Brian,
- 6:08Speaker 1: right before you came on. Prescription drug prices at an
- 6:12Speaker 1: all time low. We haven't seen these prices in sixty
- 6:15Speaker 1: plus years, right, Eggs, eggs, eggs, well, leggs are down
- 6:20Speaker 1: inflation is way down from where it was with Joe Biden.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Interest rates have started to come down. So the President
- 6:27Speaker 1: is going to make a pretty good argument that while
- 6:29Speaker 1: you're complaining about gasoline prices, I get it. Actually the
- 6:33Speaker 1: economic indicators say we're doing a pretty good job. I
- 6:36Speaker 1: think that'll be his main message commit terms. What do
- 6:39Speaker 1: you think?
- 6:40Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so too. I also think you know
- 6:42Speaker 2: they say Walmart drop prices, and I think gas is
- 6:45Speaker 2: still under how Joe Biden left it. I think the
- 6:48Speaker 2: President can say that while addressing the number one threat
- 6:51Speaker 2: we have outside China, certainly in the Middle East, and
- 6:54Speaker 2: that is Iran. It's an ongoing mission, the only one
- 6:57Speaker 2: to take on an issue that's been around for forty
- 6:59Speaker 2: seven year, and I think the President's going to say,
- 7:02Speaker 2: not only what am I doing? For example, I started
- 7:05Speaker 2: looking into how close we are to getting into this
- 7:07Speaker 2: trade deal done with Canada, and I'm looking at just
- 7:10Speaker 2: trying to get some numbers down and figure out my
- 7:12Speaker 2: head around what's going on there, because they're optimistic they're
- 7:14Speaker 2: gonna get something done.
- 7:15Speaker 1: Well.
- 7:15Speaker 2: We have moved Honda as well as Ford as well
- 7:20Speaker 2: as Stilantes has moved out of Canada into the US
- 7:23Speaker 2: because of tariffs bringing some of it back into Michigan.
- 7:27Speaker 2: So that's gonna help Mike Rogers. And that's a fact.
- 7:30Speaker 2: I think the President should emphasize the tariffs. Yeah, sometimes
- 7:33Speaker 2: they're costly, but other times, long term, they're bringing a
- 7:37Speaker 2: lot of jobs back here and industry back here. I
- 7:40Speaker 2: think they're going to look back sid and we were
- 7:42Speaker 2: just in high school and maybe beginning of college. All
- 7:45Speaker 2: that thought when they're Clinton and Bush forty one and
- 7:48Speaker 2: Reagan of moving industry out because Americans didn't want to
- 7:51Speaker 2: do the manufacturing and let these you know, let the
- 7:54Speaker 2: Southeast Asians and let the Middle Eastern and let Central
- 7:57Speaker 2: America make our stuff. And China most of all was
- 8:01Speaker 2: the biggest mistake ever. It hollowed out Middle America. It
- 8:05Speaker 2: hollowed out North Carolina furniture makers. And what Trump is
- 8:09Speaker 2: trying to do, and it's not the sexiest thing you
- 8:11Speaker 2: can work on, is bring manufacturing back and do it
- 8:15Speaker 2: in a in a high tech way and an affordable
- 8:19Speaker 2: way where the American people say, well, now, all of
- 8:21Speaker 2: a sudden, my kitchen tables is twice as much, but
- 8:24Speaker 2: at least an American made it. He's trying to bring
- 8:26Speaker 2: it back and keep the prices down. So that's admirable,
- 8:30Speaker 2: but most politicians would not try it. But a businessman
- 8:35Speaker 2: thinking long term, bigger than his one term it's left,
- 8:39Speaker 2: would be doing that. Now how he works that into
- 8:42Speaker 2: a speech that would be his challenge. But I think
- 8:45Speaker 2: where as Americans were sophisticated enough to pick it up
- 8:48Speaker 2: and understand that we got to start making stuff here,
- 8:50Speaker 2: the pandemic reminded us of that. But no doubt about it.
- 8:53Speaker 2: Pharmaceutical prices huge and if you want anyone to rationalize
- 8:59Speaker 2: it and and define it, Mark Cuban. Mark Cuban said,
- 9:03Speaker 2: this is unbelievable what they're doing. He called up Trump,
- 9:05Speaker 2: even though he campaigned with Kamala and said, I got
- 9:08Speaker 2: a similar private company. Do you think we can combine it?
- 9:11Speaker 2: And he said yes, come on in and they had
- 9:12Speaker 2: a press conference together. So there's a lot of things
- 9:16Speaker 2: going on that you're not going to get in the
- 9:17Speaker 2: New York Times of CNN. Would you get on your
- 9:19Speaker 2: show on our show.
- 9:21Speaker 1: Last one before we get to what's happening on Sunday
- 9:23Speaker 1: night on your amazing show. You know, I'm very very
- 9:25Speaker 1: close with Congressman Randy Fine, and he had that race
- 9:29Speaker 1: against that real jew hater, real low life Dan Bill's
- 9:32Speaker 1: aarian and Randy killed him Byron Donald looks like he
- 9:35Speaker 1: may may. He's got Jolly Jolly's not going to be easy,
- 9:38Speaker 1: but he may continue a string a big time Republican
- 9:41Speaker 1: governors down there, Rick Scott and Toron DeSantis. For the
- 9:45Speaker 1: most part, Florida played out well for the country outside
- 9:49Speaker 1: of one cycle one lunatic Angie Nixon winning in the
- 9:53Speaker 1: northern part of the state, but Florida played out pretty well.
- 9:57Speaker 1: You feel pretty good about the future. Are you still
- 10:00Speaker 1: terrified about these DSA candidates that do win occasionally across America?
- 10:07Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they can win primaries across America, and
- 10:10Speaker 2: they can win in New York City, but man, I
- 10:13Speaker 2: don't think they're winning in Michigan. I know they're not
- 10:16Speaker 2: winning in Florida. And Dave Jolly and Tom Swazi and
- 10:19Speaker 2: Laura Gillen coming out saying having these press conference going
- 10:22Speaker 2: I am not a socialist, please do not label me that.
- 10:25Speaker 2: And they're getting aggressive. Why because their internal show everyone's
- 10:28Speaker 2: being labeled because Trump is such a great marketer, and
- 10:32Speaker 2: he's telling everybody unless you come up and speak up
- 10:34Speaker 2: and stand out and condemn you're a communist until further notice.
- 10:38Speaker 2: So I don't you know, I think this woman is
- 10:40Speaker 2: going to get blown out in Florida. Byron Donald's just
- 10:43Speaker 2: got to stay strong. He stands for everything that DeSantis does.
- 10:46Speaker 2: But believe it or not, he has not gotten the
- 10:48Speaker 2: DeSantis endorsement yet. So I find that shocking. Dave Jolly's
- 10:52Speaker 2: a fake Democrat. He's not a Democrat. Dave Jolly's just
- 10:55Speaker 2: anti Trump. So he got elected. Trump hated him. He
- 10:58Speaker 2: took on Trump, and he decided to quit the big
- 11:00Speaker 2: business and go on MSNBC and criticize and criticized Trump.
- 11:03Speaker 2: Now he's running for office. Akin. They all try to
- 11:05Speaker 2: do that because people afford are too smart. Donald's is
- 11:08Speaker 2: pretty strong. He's great on his feet. I think he's
- 11:10Speaker 2: going to be great. By the way, Sid, how many
- 11:12Speaker 2: glowing articles would we see if Byron Donalds was Democrat,
- 11:17Speaker 2: If John James was a Democrat, African Americans going for
- 11:20Speaker 2: governors in their state at the same time. And by
- 11:23Speaker 2: the way, John James is within three points in Michigan.
- 11:26Speaker 2: Fantastic guy, West Point grad, great business background, successful congressman.
- 11:31Speaker 2: These would be two great stories, but nobody's talking about it. No,
- 11:34Speaker 2: I know, I don't think color of your skin should matter,
- 11:36Speaker 2: and I hopefully we don't talk about the religion or skin.
- 11:39Speaker 2: But right now in America, they still talk about breakthroughs
- 11:43Speaker 2: all the time. So while they're doing it, at least
- 11:45Speaker 2: notice that Byron Donald's is not from Sweden.
- 11:49Speaker 1: It's funny he's not from Sweden. It's clear why Santas
- 11:53Speaker 1: has an endorsed them because Byron Donald's is a President
- 11:56Speaker 1: Trump guy. Trump and DeSantis do not get along. In fact,
- 11:59Speaker 1: that Byra Donald's on this show last week and he
- 12:02Speaker 1: kept referring to the great job that Rick Scott did
- 12:05Speaker 1: and he blamed a lot of the insurance issues which
- 12:08Speaker 1: is a very big problem in Florida on Ron DeSantis.
- 12:12Speaker 1: So again, Donalds is with Trump. Trump is not with DeSantis.
- 12:17Speaker 1: That explains why Donalds has not gotten the DeSantis endorsement
- 12:22Speaker 1: just yet. All right, two days away, Brian killmead, best
- 12:25Speaker 1: show on cable, Your show, ten pm every Sunday nights.

- 12:42Speaker 2: kid to school, pen and paper. Do not use a laptop.
- 12:47Speaker 2: Do I use a chromebook, Do not use an iPad,

- 12:52Speaker 2: and pasting and typing. He's got the stats to prove it.
- 12:56Speaker 2: He's going to be talking about that. Also. Also, when
- 12:59Speaker 2: you take it's got to be on with a pen
- 13:02Speaker 2: and paper, don't record it, don't type it. That's what

- 13:08Speaker 2: want to do what I do. They don't want you
- 13:10Speaker 2: reading a book on your laptop. They say your mind
- 13:13Speaker 2: cannot comprehend. They need to see it on a page.
- 13:16Speaker 2: He's got the stats to prove it. It's fascinating. He
- 13:18Speaker 2: testified in front of Congress too about how we got
- 13:20Speaker 2: to go back to the future in terms of education.
- 13:23Speaker 2: I also got Governor Perry pushing back on the condemnation
- 13:28Speaker 2: of these data centers. Nobody wants a data center now, Okay,
- 13:31Speaker 2: get ready to pay a lot more for your phone service,
- 13:33Speaker 2: for your cloud service, get ready for a very slow internet,
- 13:36Speaker 2: and also get ready to subscribe to some Chinese apps.

- 13:43Speaker 2: and we'll talk about that. I also got Joe Manchin

- 14:04Speaker 2: has done in dropping flyers and clearing out neighborhoods before
- 14:08Speaker 2: going in for Hamas has been even better than we
- 14:12Speaker 2: were doing in Iraq. And he talks about that in
- 14:15Speaker 2: his brand new book. And he's going to be on
- 14:16Speaker 2: the set with us and talk about how we there
- 14:19Speaker 2: the winning ways in Iran, which you should be looking
- 14:21Speaker 2: at because we have to win in Iran.
