Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the Morning.
0:03
Speaker 2: Entertaining and informative.
0:05
Speaker 3: On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
0:09
Speaker 4: Congratulations especially to Sid Rosenberg on his induction to the
0:14
Speaker 4: New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame.
0:17
Speaker 5: I can't believe he didn't make it years ago.
0:20
Speaker 4: Today, Sid forever joins a roll call of some of
0:23
Speaker 4: the greatest legends in the history of New York broadcasting
0:27
Speaker 4: and talk radio.
0:28
Speaker 5: The best in the business, and he's the best in
0:30
Speaker 5: the business.
0:31
Speaker 4: Over many years, Sid has distinguished himself as one of
0:34
Speaker 4: the most authentic and recognizable voices in American airwaves, and
0:39
Speaker 4: he's built a smart, loyal, gigantic audience, and I happen
0:43
Speaker 4: to be one of those people in the audience.
0:46
Speaker 5: And I had for a long time, long before I
0:48
Speaker 5: became president.
0:50
Speaker 6: The idea of not spending evenings with my kids is
0:53
Speaker 6: completely unacceptable. So my president, excuse me, my husband, that's
0:59
Speaker 6: a good one.
1:00
Speaker 1: I'm upset about the new press secretary. I don't dislike her.
1:04
Speaker 1: I just don't like the fact that they chose her,
1:07
Speaker 1: the Trump administration.
1:08
Speaker 7: Katie Zachariah. Well, I sent a text to President Trump.
1:13
Speaker 1: Who reads all my texts, and he does acknowledge them,
1:16
Speaker 1: like he did on Saturday. He answered me every now
1:18
Speaker 1: and then.
1:19
Speaker 7: And I made it very, very clear that I thought
1:21
Speaker 7: Elizabeth Pipko should have been the White House press secretary.
1:24
Speaker 7: Liz has been loyal to President Trump for over a decade.
1:28
Speaker 7: Her husband, Darren, basically runs Eric and Laura Trump's operation.
1:34
Speaker 7: And Pipko gave up all kinds of TV dreams and
1:38
Speaker 7: other big-time jobs hoping to land this gig And I
1:44
Speaker 7: had heard that a week or two ago that she
1:47
Speaker 7: was the favorite to get it.
1:49
Speaker 1: And I don't know where... How do you say this
1:52
Speaker 1: lady's name?
1:54
Speaker 2: Which one?
1:54
Speaker 1: Zakaria? Zakaria got this. But she gets the job, and
1:58
Speaker 1: I'm not happy about it. I don't dislike her.
2:00
Speaker 7: Again, Katie, I don't know her. Don't know her from
2:03
Speaker 7: a hole in the wall. But I really thought Liz
2:05
Speaker 7: Pipko should have gotten that job.
2:07
Speaker 8: We are now just 20 days away from Election Day.
2:10
Speaker 8: The candidates for governor of New York had their one
2:12
Speaker 8: and only debate. Incumbent Governor Kathy Hochul and Republican challenger
2:17
Speaker 8: Bruce Blakeman clashed on a number of issues, from President
2:20
Speaker 8: Trump to the ice crackdown to who is to blame
2:23
Speaker 8: for the rising cost of living. Eyewitness News reporter NJ
2:27
Speaker 8: Burkett has more on the debate and reaction to it.
2:32
Speaker 9: Republican Bruce Blakeman came to the debate with a game plan.
2:36
Speaker 9: Governor Kathy Hochul, the Democrat, had a strategy of her own.
2:40
Speaker 10: He says.
2:41
Speaker 11: that he's going to bring Trump-style leadership to Albany. And
2:45
Speaker 11: you support every single thing that Donald Trump does. Have
2:48
Speaker 11: you bought groceries lately? My God, the people are suffering.
2:51
Speaker 11: And that didn't have to be the case. Why are
2:53
Speaker 11: we at war with the rest of the world?
2:55
Speaker 12: So you like to talk about Donald Trump all the
2:58
Speaker 12: time because you don't want to talk about your record.
3:01
Speaker 9: Blakeman blamed the governor for higher taxes and utility rates.
3:05
Speaker 9: and they clashed over crime and immigration.
3:07
Speaker 12: We have an epidemic of crime from these illegal migrants.
3:10
Speaker 11: He's going to let ice run rampant in our streets.
3:13
Speaker 9: It wasn't until the final 10 minutes that Blakeman brought
3:16
Speaker 9: up the elephant.
3:17
Speaker 1: In the room.
3:18
Speaker 12: Zoran Mamdani is an anti-Semite.
3:20
Speaker 9: Blakeman believes the governor's support for Mayor Mamdani is a liability.
3:25
Speaker 9: She's approved his controversial pied-à-terre tax, and his criticism of
3:29
Speaker 9: Israel has alienated many Jewish New Yorkers.
3:32
Speaker 12: Look, if you want to campaign with him, that's fine.
3:35
Speaker 12: But I will tell you right now, I think Zoram
3:37
Speaker 12: Andami is an anti-Semite. I believe he's anti-Christian. And I
3:40
Speaker 12: don't think he has American values.
3:42
Speaker 9: Blakeman was campaigning upstate.
3:44
Speaker 12: If you saw the debate last night, Kathy Hochul could
3:47
Speaker 12: not defend her record because it is a record of misery.
3:51
Speaker 9: The governor has funded Mamdani's child care initiatives. and NYPD
3:55
Speaker 9: patrols in the subway.
3:57
Speaker 1: Here's what she said.
3:58
Speaker 11: The mayor and I are great partners. We're working hard together.
4:01
Speaker 11: And I'm not going to give him the dignity of
4:06
Speaker 11: responding to those kind of crazy comments.
4:07
Speaker 9: Mamdani believes the voters should reject Blakely. Do you believe
4:11
Speaker 9: you're an asset or a liability to the governor's campaign?
4:14
Speaker 13: I think the work that we're doing is an asset
4:17
Speaker 13: because the work that we're doing over 10 months has
4:19
Speaker 13: been to make the city more affordable for working families.
4:22
Speaker 14: The mayor and the governor have not campaigned together. The
4:25
Speaker 14: governor told reporters she expects that to happen. But with
4:28
Speaker 14: 20 days left before the election, the questions are when
4:32
Speaker 14: and why not?
4:33
Speaker 13: It is hard for anyone to keep up with all
4:36
Speaker 13: of the bigotry and racism that Bruce Blakeman exhibits on.
4:40
Speaker 5: A regular basis.
4:42
Speaker 13: So I think that the governor did a good job,
4:44
Speaker 13: and I'll never fault someone for not being able to
4:46
Speaker 13: catch all of it, because that is a fool's errand
4:48
Speaker 13: when it comes to Bruce Blakeman. I think the governor
4:51
Speaker 13: also made clear, you know, I said that I didn't watch.
4:54
Speaker 5: The debate beyond the clip.
4:57
Speaker 13: But I think the governor has made clear time and
4:59
Speaker 13: time again what her vision is. It's a vision of
5:02
Speaker 13: a more affordable New York.
5:03
Speaker 2: And when it comes to.
5:04
Speaker 13: Bruce Blakeman, his vision seems to be making life harder
5:07
Speaker 13: for working people. When the governor and I announced putting
5:11
Speaker 13: our city on a pathway to universal child care, Bruce
5:14
Speaker 13: Blakeman went on television and said this was rewarding lazy
5:17
Speaker 13: parents who would sit at home and watch The View.
5:20
Speaker 13: When we were speaking about concerns about what HR1 was
5:24
Speaker 13: going to do with regards to health care access across
5:27
Speaker 13: the state, Bruce Blakeman went on television and said that
5:29
Speaker 13: he would cut Medicaid in half.
5:32
Speaker 15: City Council Speaker Julie Mennon is moving forward with plans
5:35
Speaker 15: to eliminate the city's horse carriage industry.
5:37
Speaker 16: This as the Drivers Union mounts an ad campaign blasting
5:40
Speaker 16: Mennon for making what it calls empty promises.
5:44
Speaker 17: Political reporter Marcia Kramer here now with more.
5:46
Speaker 18: Marcia.
5:46
Speaker 19: Well, Justin KJ, Speaker Mennon made it clear she has
5:50
Speaker 19: the necessary votes to pass the bill that will remove
5:53
Speaker 19: horse carriages from New York City by June 2028. But
5:56
Speaker 19: the bill leaves a raft of unanswered questions. What will
5:59
Speaker 19: happen to more than 200 drivers? And what will happen
6:03
Speaker 19: to the horses? Victor the horse and driver Tony Moran
6:07
Speaker 19: getting ready for another trip around Central Park as a
6:10
Speaker 19: cloud of uncertainty hung over what will happen to them
6:13
Speaker 19: when their jobs are eliminated. Victor, how do you feel
6:16
Speaker 19: about being put to pasture?
6:17
Speaker 5: What do you think?
6:18
Speaker 19: Eating the mic was probably horse talk for I'm too
6:20
Speaker 19: sad to comment, sentiments shared by the drivers. You're 40
6:24
Speaker 19: years coming to work and then you're told one day
6:27
Speaker 19: you don't have a.
6:28
Speaker 18: Job, you know?
6:30
Speaker 1: I love what I do.
6:32
Speaker 20: First is, it's something beautiful. It's an amazing creator to
6:39
Speaker 20: be around. And they can just bring joy to people, children.
6:42
Speaker 19: The drivers and their unions said the council bill is
6:45
Speaker 19: short on details of how to take care of those
6:47
Speaker 19: left with no jobs. They're running ads slamming Speaker Menon
6:51
Speaker 19: for what they call empty promises.
6:53
Speaker 18: The bill has no guarantees.
6:55
Speaker 21: Only references to potential job counseling, job fairs, job referrals,
6:59
Speaker 21: and possible... financial compensation for medallion owners. The bill doesn't
7:03
Speaker 21: protect workers, it destroys them.
7:06
Speaker 19: The bill leaves it up to the mayor to devise
7:08
Speaker 19: a plan to find a soft landing for the 160
7:11
Speaker 19: horses and 200 drivers. I asked Mayor Mamdani what he
7:14
Speaker 19: plans to do. Do you feel that the city has
7:17
Speaker 19: an obligation to compensate them financially for the value of
7:22
Speaker 19: their business that's going to be lost?
7:25
Speaker 13: I think that we have a civic responsibility to ensure
7:28
Speaker 13: that we are not leaving anybody out to dry.
7:30
Speaker 19: Speaker Menon says she's forming a working group to find solutions,
7:34
Speaker 19: but defended the bill.
7:35
Speaker 10: We've had numerous forces that have broken free. We've had
7:39
Speaker 10: numerous forces that have been injured. Some have died. And
7:42
Speaker 10: then tragically, several months ago, Raman, a young man who
7:47
Speaker 10: was visiting Central Park with his family from India, lost
7:51
Speaker 10: his life when he was blown from the horse.
7:53
Speaker 19: The mayor says there's still plenty of time to find
7:56
Speaker 19: solutions before the bill takes effect in June 2028.
7:59
Speaker 13: It is the kind of runway that's required to ensure
8:02
Speaker 13: that we can fulfill all of these different obligations.
8:05
Speaker 19: Now, meanwhile, MTA Chair Jan O'Lieber said he would be
8:08
Speaker 19: open to finding jobs for the drivers in his agency.
8:11
Speaker 19: And a spokesperson for the mayor insisted the bill prevents
8:14
Speaker 19: the horses from becoming carriage horses elsewhere or being sent
8:18
Speaker 19: to slaughter.
8:19
Speaker 15: We're just 20 days away now from the midterm elections,
8:22
Speaker 15: and all eyes are on New York's critical District 17 race.
8:26
Speaker 15: Republican incumbent Mike Lawler and Democrat Kate Conley faced off
8:30
Speaker 15: tonight in their second debate. Addie Guajardo joins us now
8:33
Speaker 15: with more. And, Addie, what stood out to you most? Yeah,
8:36
Speaker 15: there were so many topics. It was a packed hour tonight.
8:38
Speaker 16: They talked about affordability, the cost of groceries, data centers, immigration,
8:43
Speaker 16: and so much more. Tonight, they also fired off personal
8:45
Speaker 16: attacks and both accused each other of being backed by investors.
8:49
Speaker 18: And the tech world.
8:51
Speaker 16: New York's 17th congressional district candidates turned up the heat
8:54
Speaker 16: in their second debate for one of the most hotly
8:56
Speaker 16: contested swing districts. Republican incumbent Mike Lawler and Democrat Kate
9:01
Speaker 16: Conley took swipes at each other Wednesday night.
9:04
Speaker 17: Apparently that question was too hard for him to answer.
9:06
Speaker 22: I'm glad you delivered your pre-written line by your consultants.
9:10
Speaker 16: One of the top issues on voters' minds, affordability. The
9:14
Speaker 16: latest Labor Department data shows U.S. goods and services are
9:17
Speaker 16: getting more expensive compared to the same time last year.
9:21
Speaker 16: According to a Pew Research report, 27% of people surveyed
9:25
Speaker 16: say they cannot pay for some of their monthly bills
9:28
Speaker 16: or can only make partial payments.
9:30
Speaker 22: Energy is vital if we are going to be able
9:33
Speaker 22: to bring down the prices of everything.
9:35
Speaker 17: Man, the struggle for him to answer a question is
9:37
Speaker 17: real tonight. Families right now literally can't afford to feed
9:41
Speaker 17: their family. I think we need new people in Washington.
9:43
Speaker 16: Republicans want to hold onto the seat while Democrats are
9:46
Speaker 16: fighting to take it back. And data centers are a
9:49
Speaker 16: point of contention.
9:51
Speaker 17: You saw how quickly my opponent wanted to get off
9:53
Speaker 17: of this topic. And that's because five data centers were
9:55
Speaker 17: built on his watch. And now there are three more
9:58
Speaker 17: on the way. I support local control.
10:00
Speaker 1: Of zoning.
10:00
Speaker 22: The five data centers in Rockland County that were built
10:03
Speaker 22: were built before I was in elected office.
10:06
Speaker 2: They were approved by a Democrat.
10:08
Speaker 16: The two also squared off on immigration.
10:11
Speaker 17: What we are seeing right now with the conduct device
10:13
Speaker 17: is posing a public safety hazard. The same things that
10:16
Speaker 17: we expect of our local law enforcement, we should expect
10:19
Speaker 17: of our federal law enforcement. That means wearing body cameras,
10:22
Speaker 17: not wearing masks, wearing identifying uniforms.
10:26
Speaker 22: Kathy Hochul's disastrous new law, which Kate Conley supports, making
10:30
Speaker 22: New York a sanctuary state, prohibits cooperation between local law
10:35
Speaker 22: enforcement and federal immigration officials.
10:38
Speaker 1: Yes, ICE needs reforms.
10:39
Speaker 22: I've said repeatedly, body cameras, no masks, identifiable uniforms.
10:45
Speaker 16: Now, Lawler has accused Conley of being a rubber stamp
10:48
Speaker 16: of Mayor Zor-Mamdani, but she disputes the claim, saying she
10:51
Speaker 16: believes in investing in law enforcement and says border security
10:55
Speaker 16: is national security. Conley claims that Lawler votes with President
10:58
Speaker 16: Donald Trump 100 percent of the time. Lawler shot back, though,
11:01
Speaker 16: calling her a liar and said he has the most
11:04
Speaker 16: bipartisan voting record in Congress.
11:07
Speaker 13: You know, I want to congratulate my good friend.
11:10
Speaker 22: Sid Rosenberg, on his induction into the New York State
11:14
Speaker 22: Broadcasters Hall of Fame. You know, he's pretty great, but
11:18
Speaker 22: he's not the best. Nobody is better than your favorite president,
11:23
Speaker 22: Donald J.
11:24
Speaker 23: Trump, okay?
11:25
Speaker 1: I should be inducted into the Hall of.
11:27
Speaker 24: Fame, too.
11:28
Speaker 25: Now, Sid, it's Mike Lawler.
11:30
Speaker 24: You know I love you.
11:31
Speaker 22: Congratulations on being inducted into the New York State Broadcasters
11:36
Speaker 22: Hall of Fame. You are one of a kind, a
11:38
Speaker 22: New York original. We love you. We're so proud of you. Congratulations.
11:43
Speaker 7: Just 19 days away. I actually spoke to Margo Morton yesterday.
11:48
Speaker 7: And Margo, of course, is President Trump's everything girl.
11:52
Speaker 1: She does everything.
11:53
Speaker 7: And she was the one who just had President Trump
11:56
Speaker 7: make me that video for the Hall of Fame.
11:58
Speaker 1: But I said, listen.
11:59
Speaker 7: 19 days away, 20 days away, all these major races
12:04
Speaker 7: here in New York, right?
12:06
Speaker 1: Not the governor race, because Trump will be the first
12:08
Speaker 1: to tell you.
12:09
Speaker 7: He loves Bruce Blankman. Trump loves him. But he's not
12:13
Speaker 7: really all that concerned with that race. He's more concerned
12:15
Speaker 7: with the Congress, Senate races.
12:18
Speaker 1: So you've got Mike Lawler.
12:20
Speaker 7: We played the clip there, his second debate against that lunatic,
12:25
Speaker 7: Kate Conley, the 17th Congressional District Attorney.
12:29
Speaker 1: Had their second debate last night. You've got that race.
12:33
Speaker 7: And you've got the girl I really like, Janine Driscoll,
12:36
Speaker 7: up against Laura Gillum, who beat Anthony D'Esposito last time around.
12:41
Speaker 7: And you've got Mike Lopetri for the second straight time
12:44
Speaker 7: going up against Tom Suozzi and Lolota and Garbarino and
12:49
Speaker 7: all these other races, Senate races. And I'm not even
12:53
Speaker 7: familiar with all of them, I've got to be honest.
12:56
Speaker 7: But we're 19 days away from from the Republicans trying
13:00
Speaker 7: to retain the House and the Senate. I was watching
13:04
Speaker 7: a clip this morning.
13:05
Speaker 1: Of Bill Maher. I like Bill Maher these days.
13:07
Speaker 7: You know, he's gone from somebody I couldn't stand to
13:11
Speaker 7: somebody I kind of respect. He still gets very douchey.
13:15
Speaker 7: Don't kid yourself if you're a MAGA Republican like me.
13:17
Speaker 7: Bill Maher, you still can't trust him. And the fact
13:20
Speaker 7: that he was on with Chris Cuomo, who's a complete asshole,
13:24
Speaker 7: that's a big issue. But Bill Maher... was saying, I guess,
13:29
Speaker 7: last night that he thought the Republicans were going to
13:32
Speaker 7: get squashed. Squashed because of, quote, power-hungry President Trump.
13:40
Speaker 1: That was Bill Maher's quote.
13:42
Speaker 7: That seems to be the consensus from most people who
13:46
Speaker 7: are not Republicans running in this race.
13:50
Speaker 1: But we're going to find out soon, folks.
13:52
Speaker 7: 19 days away, and Lawler last night just Hammered Conley,
13:58
Speaker 7: who lied. You know, we saw Governor Hochul lie a
14:02
Speaker 7: bunch of times two nights ago in her debate with
14:05
Speaker 7: Bruce Blakeman. She just flat out lied. Mamdani repeated the
14:09
Speaker 7: same lie yesterday.
14:10
Speaker 1: You heard it in the open. Blakeman never said cut
14:13
Speaker 1: Medicaid in half.
14:15
Speaker 7: And even when Bruce Blakeman corrected Kathy two nights ago, they're.
14:18
Speaker 1: Still saying it. You notice that? They don't care.
14:21
Speaker 7: They don't need to be right.
14:23
Speaker 1: Nobody keeps them in check.
14:26
Speaker 7: Marsha Kramer, Melissa Russo, Morgan Mackay, all these lovely local ladies,
14:33
Speaker 7: they're up the mayor's ass. They don't correct him. They
14:37
Speaker 7: don't correct the governor. They just let it go.
14:39
Speaker 1: I said the moderators weren't bad a couple nights ago.
14:43
Speaker 1: They weren't.
14:43
Speaker 7: I disagree with Dominic Carter, who I love dearly. That
14:47
Speaker 7: was not a three-on-one against Blakeman. I actually thought Errol Lewis,
14:51
Speaker 7: who I can't stand, and Susan Arbiter, They were actually
14:55
Speaker 7: pretty fair two nights ago. But there were a couple
14:57
Speaker 7: of times where they did not allow Blakeman to continue
15:01
Speaker 7: his beating, especially of Mamdani, and they never had.
15:05
Speaker 1: Hochul correct herself.
15:07
Speaker 26: Never.
15:07
Speaker 1: She lied.
15:09
Speaker 7: You know, she says Bruce Blakeman hangs out with white supremacists.
15:13
Speaker 1: I mean, that's ridiculous. That's not a place for that.
15:19
Speaker 1: And then last night Conley lied.
15:22
Speaker 7: She said that Mike Lawler votes with President Trump 100%
15:26
Speaker 7: of the time. I can promise you, I can guarantee
15:30
Speaker 7: you that's not the case.
15:32
Speaker 1: Many times over the last.
15:34
Speaker 7: Couple of years, President Trump, who does like Mike Lawler,
15:38
Speaker 7: likes him a lot, he does.
15:40
Speaker 1: He has publicly called.
15:42
Speaker 7: Mike Lawler a pain in the ass, going back to
15:45
Speaker 7: the whole SALT argument.
15:47
Speaker 1: But Mike Lawler is.
15:49
Speaker 7: accused time and time again of being a rhino, like
15:53
Speaker 7: Peter King. So he ain't voting with President Trump 100%
15:57
Speaker 7: of the time.
15:58
Speaker 1: They just lie. Governor Hochul, liar. Kate Conley, liar.
16:05
Speaker 7: Because when they're forced to talk about the facts, when
16:10
Speaker 7: they're forced to talk about their policies, or in Hochul's case,
16:15
Speaker 7: when they're forced to talk about their resume, they either
16:18
Speaker 7: lie or they move the conversation away from what they're
16:25
Speaker 7: actually talking about. So I got frustrated yesterday, Noam, because
16:29
Speaker 7: I asked you and Justin, how many times did Kathy
16:33
Speaker 7: Hochul two nights ago mention Trump? And I went to AI.
16:38
Speaker 7: When you Google, it goes to AI. There is nothing
16:41
Speaker 7: more accurate than AI, and they had a horrible answer.
16:45
Speaker 1: Do you remember what they said, Noel?
16:46
Speaker 18: Twelve times.
16:48
Speaker 1: No, they said at least a dozen.
16:49
Speaker 26: Yeah.
16:49
Speaker 1: At least a dozen.
16:51
Speaker 7: Well, excellent job by my friend running for state comptroller,
16:54
Speaker 7: the Republican candidate, running against Tom DiNapoli, my buddy Joseph Hernandez,
17:00
Speaker 7: who I did host a fundraiser for at Dorian's.
17:04
Speaker 1: I've hosted two for local.
17:06
Speaker 7: Candidates, Joe Hernandez for comptroller, and, of course, Caroline Schenkel
17:11
Speaker 7: running in that old Jerry Nadler district against that waste
17:14
Speaker 7: Michael Lasher. So Hernandez went back and actually counted it.
17:19
Speaker 7: According to Joe, the word budget was mentioned by Hochul
17:25
Speaker 7: three times. The word affordability, which is the word Democrats
17:31
Speaker 7: love to.
17:31
Speaker 1: Use, right?
17:34
Speaker 7: They caused this affordability crisis. And yet they use that
17:37
Speaker 7: word every two seconds. That word was used twice.
17:42
Speaker 1: You believe that, Norm?
17:44
Speaker 7: Two times affordability, three times budget. Now, what did I
17:49
Speaker 7: say to you yesterday? I said at least a dozen times.
17:52
Speaker 7: I even used it during an interview.
17:53
Speaker 1: Yesterday to Blakeman. She must have said Trump 50 times. Well,
17:58
Speaker 1: I was wrong. I was wrong. 41. Wow. Is that
18:03
Speaker 1: not what I said yesterday?
18:04
Speaker 18: No, you said 50.
18:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, not at least 12 times.
18:07
Speaker 7: 41 times Kathy Hochul mentioned President Trump. And you got
18:13
Speaker 7: this jerk-off mayor, this jihad boy, radical Islam terrorist mayor,
18:19
Speaker 7: telling everybody yesterday that Hochul did a very good job.
18:22
Speaker 1: He actually said that. That's how dumb he is. Right
18:25
Speaker 1: before he said, I didn't watch the debate, all I
18:29
Speaker 1: saw was this clip. Did you hear that, Noam? No.
18:31
Speaker 14: Yeah.
18:32
Speaker 1: He goes, I didn't watch it. All I saw was
18:34
Speaker 1: this clip.
18:35
Speaker 7: Well, then how can you possibly say, Mayor Schmuckhead, that
18:39
Speaker 7: Hochul did a great job if he didn't watch it?
18:42
Speaker 7: Take it from me, Mayor Mamdani. I watched it. She
18:45
Speaker 7: was an embarrassment. I mean, say what you want about Mamdani.
18:49
Speaker 7: There's nobody in this city, nobody, who thinks he's a
18:52
Speaker 7: worse person than I do. And I make it clear
18:55
Speaker 7: every day since he took office. But put him on
18:59
Speaker 7: a stage, he can speak.
19:01
Speaker 1: He's a liar and he's... You know, he's got a
19:05
Speaker 1: bit of charisma, so he gets away with a whole
19:08
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff. She was pathetic.
19:11
Speaker 7: Again, very close to Joe Biden when we all thought
19:14
Speaker 7: he stroked out against President Trump a couple years ago.
19:18
Speaker 1: Their efforts were very similar. So Mamdani says, I didn't
19:25
Speaker 1: watch it, but she did a great job. Well, how
19:27
Speaker 1: about that?
19:27
Speaker 23: No.
19:28
Speaker 18: Well, by the way, they asked her yesterday, do you
19:31
Speaker 18: think you won the debate? And she said, yeah.
19:33
Speaker 1: No, she didn't. She did. She said, I won. Oh,
19:34
Speaker 1: stop it. No, she didn't. She did.
19:36
Speaker 18: They asked her yesterday. She said, I did very well.
19:39
Speaker 1: Okay, so when they go, did you win the debate?
19:42
Speaker 1: And she goes, yeah. Yeah. Great, I won.
19:43
Speaker 23: She did.
19:44
Speaker 1: Do they go, okay, but why do you think that?
19:46
Speaker 1: What are you using to make that? No, there was
19:48
Speaker 1: no follow-up question.
19:49
Speaker 22: No.
19:49
Speaker 1: Of course not.
19:50
Speaker 18: But in fairness, they asked Bruce Blakeman the same question.
19:53
Speaker 18: There was no follow-up for him either.
19:55
Speaker 7: He probably jumped in and said, listen, I laid out
19:57
Speaker 7: all the details. Without asking the follow-up, I'm sure Bruce
20:01
Speaker 7: Wakeman answered the question without the follow-up.
20:05
Speaker 1: Her, that dope. She probably just said, yeah, I won.
20:07
Speaker 1: That was it.
20:08
Speaker 18: Well, they both kind of answered the question honestly in
20:10
Speaker 18: the same way. Yeah, they said that when you compare
20:13
Speaker 18: our records, which I was able to do, you'll see
20:15
Speaker 18: who should have won. Something to that effect.
20:17
Speaker 23: Right.
20:18
Speaker 7: Did you watch the debate last night between Lawler and Conley?
20:22
Speaker 1: I did not.
20:23
Speaker 18: But I watched some of the highlights this morning.
20:25
Speaker 23: You did?
20:26
Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
20:26
Speaker 1: Let's play some of these cuts. You want to?
20:28
Speaker 24: Sure.
20:29
Speaker 1: All right. This is Lewis cut number 12.
20:33
Speaker 7: Again, the highly contested 17th Congressional District up there in
20:38
Speaker 7: Rockland County. I guess Westchester County, Putnam County, all of them,
20:42
Speaker 7: I guess.
20:43
Speaker 1: I don't know.
20:44
Speaker 7: Here's where he talks about his opening statement. Mike Lawler's
20:48
Speaker 7: opening statement last night, Lewis, cut number 12.
20:51
Speaker 22: Well, thanks for having me, Dan, and thank you to
20:53
Speaker 22: Kate for being here as well as for her service
20:55
Speaker 22: to our country. As Ed Koch famously said, if you
20:59
Speaker 22: agree with me on 9 out of 12 issues, vote
21:01
Speaker 22: for me.
21:02
Speaker 2: If you agree with me on.
21:02
Speaker 22: 12 out of 12 issues, have your head examined. We're
21:05
Speaker 22: not going to agree on everything, and that's a good thing.
21:08
Speaker 22: That's why we live in a constitutional republic. But I
21:11
Speaker 22: am proud of the work that I have done over
21:13
Speaker 22: these four years to fight for our districts, I've shown
21:15
Speaker 22: up in every corner of it, doing over 2,000 events.
21:18
Speaker 22: My staff and I have closed over 10,000 constituent cases.
21:23
Speaker 22: We've brought back over $ 120 million to the district in
21:27
Speaker 22: benefits due, as well as critical infrastructure projects, support for
21:31
Speaker 22: law enforcement, and more. In addition, I've passed over two
21:35
Speaker 22: dozen bills, 17 of which have been signed into law.
21:39
Speaker 22: Most members of Congress can't even point to one. Ask
21:42
Speaker 22: AOC how many she's passed. The fact is I have
21:45
Speaker 22: delivered time and again for this district. When I agree
21:48
Speaker 22: with the president, I say it. When I disagree with him,
21:50
Speaker 22: I say it. I will never yield in fighting for
21:54
Speaker 22: you and your families. And on November 3rd, I hope
21:56
Speaker 22: to have your support.
21:58
Speaker 1: All right. Lewis actually watched this debate last night.
22:01
Speaker 7: He was the one, to Lou Rapinoe's credit, excellent job, Lewis,
22:05
Speaker 7: that alerted me about this this morning.
22:07
Speaker 1: I had thought they only had one debate. I had
22:09
Speaker 1: no idea they did it again tonight.
22:10
Speaker 7: On Channel 11 WPIX last night.
22:13
Speaker 1: So way to go, Lou. You said that was his
22:15
Speaker 1: closing statement.
22:15
Speaker 25: I think so, yes.
22:16
Speaker 2: Okay.
22:17
Speaker 27: Because he thanked her for her service in being there.
22:23
Speaker 1: They were at each other.
22:24
Speaker 2: Yeah.
22:25
Speaker 1: Well, here's one.
22:27
Speaker 7: Sheridan Gorman, Lou and Noam, that lovely young girl that
22:30
Speaker 7: was murdered, gunned down, shot in the back in Chicago.
22:35
Speaker 1: You guys remember that?
22:36
Speaker 7: And her parents, just another example of beautiful angel parents.
22:41
Speaker 7: I saw them speak live at Mike Lawler's Rockland County
22:45
Speaker 7: rally when President Trump called me up on stage and
22:48
Speaker 7: Jackson Dart got in trouble for introducing the president that day.
22:52
Speaker 7: So it turns out that Sheridan Gorman's mom and dad
22:57
Speaker 7: live in Lawler's County. And Kathy Hochul, the Gormans have
23:03
Speaker 7: been reaching out to Kathy Hochul since her daughter was murdered.
23:06
Speaker 7: And according to Bruce Blakeman, during the debate, right there
23:10
Speaker 7: live on TV, Kathy Hochul, this heartless biatch, never returns
23:16
Speaker 7: their calls.
23:17
Speaker 1: He did say that, right, Noam? When did you return
23:20
Speaker 1: Sheridan Gorman's calls? Well, he meant to.
23:22
Speaker 7: Say Sheridan Gorman's parents because Sheridan is dead, of course.
23:25
Speaker 7: But at any rate, her parents live in Mike Lawler's district.
23:31
Speaker 7: So like I said, they were at Mike Lawler's rally.
23:33
Speaker 1: He's always bringing them up.
23:35
Speaker 7: They're lovely people. My heart breaks for them. And he
23:38
Speaker 7: brought it up again last night. This is Mike Lawler
23:41
Speaker 7: going at Kate Conley about the murder of Sheridan Gorman Lewis.
23:46
Speaker 7: Cut number 13.
23:48
Speaker 23: Mr.
23:48
Speaker 16: Lawler, if local police arrest someone for a crime and
23:50
Speaker 16: discover that person is in the country illegally, should they
23:53
Speaker 16: be allowed.
23:53
Speaker 18: To notify ICE? You have 30 seconds.
23:55
Speaker 23: Yes.
23:56
Speaker 22: Very simply put, if you are in this country illegally
24:00
Speaker 22: and you commit a crime, there.
24:01
Speaker 2: Should be no safe harbor.
24:03
Speaker 22: Sheridan Gorman is dead because her murderer was allowed into
24:06
Speaker 22: this country under the Biden administration's open border policies, arrested
24:11
Speaker 22: for shoplifting, released under Chicago's cashless bail law, similar to
24:16
Speaker 22: New York, and then murdered her from behind execution style.
24:21
Speaker 2: He should have been deported. He should have been.
24:24
Speaker 22: Turned over to federal immigration officials. This is not hard
24:27
Speaker 22: to understand. Kate Conley supports letting Sheridan Gorman's murderer stay.
24:32
Speaker 1: In this country. Thank you, Mr.
24:33
Speaker 23: Lawler.
24:33
Speaker 2: That is fundamentally wrong.
24:34
Speaker 11: Thank you, Mr.
24:34
Speaker 1: Lawler. That is fundamentally wrong.
24:36
Speaker 11: That is a fundamental lie.
24:38
Speaker 1: No, it's not.
24:39
Speaker 17: That is absolutely not true.
24:40
Speaker 22: You couldn't even answer the Gormans directly when they asked
24:42
Speaker 22: you point blank, do you support Kathy Hochul's sanctuary law
24:46
Speaker 22: and terminating 287G? You ran around it despite it being
24:50
Speaker 22: on your website. Don't tell me I made something up.
24:53
Speaker 7: Good for you, Mike, because I know Kate Conley actually
24:56
Speaker 7: gives Kathy Hochul a pretty decent grade. So if I
25:00
Speaker 7: asked you, Lou Rapinoe, let's start with you, Louis. If
25:03
Speaker 7: I asked you to give me a grade for Kathy Hochul,
25:07
Speaker 7: Job as governor so far, five years, it's a lot
25:11
Speaker 7: of work. What would your grade be? F. F, okay,
25:14
Speaker 7: you fail her. Noam Layden, grade for Kathy Hochul?
25:17
Speaker 18: I would give her a D.
25:18
Speaker 1: A D, okay.
25:19
Speaker 7: Ephraim Lewis, Noam gives her a D. I'm going to
25:23
Speaker 7: fail her, too. Fail her miserably.
25:26
Speaker 1: I don't know how you give her a D. What
25:27
Speaker 1: has she done well?
25:28
Speaker 18: I probably could find something.
25:29
Speaker 1: That's why I gave her a D. No, it doesn't work.
25:31
Speaker 7: When you leave the country and out migration, that's my
25:34
Speaker 7: biggest point. You can argue back and forth about energy
25:38
Speaker 7: and crime. When people leave this state, the greatest city,
25:42
Speaker 7: the greatest state, in the numbers that they do, number
25:46
Speaker 7: one in the country, that is 1,000%, 1,000% on you.
25:49
Speaker 7: So I'm going to fail her, too.
25:53
Speaker 1: You think Kate Connolly failed her? Oh, I don't think so.
25:59
Speaker 26: Here it is.
26:00
Speaker 7: Kate Conley, her grade for Kathy Hochul. This is why
26:04
Speaker 7: you can't trust this lady. This is why Lawler better
26:06
Speaker 7: clean the floor with this lady. Do not vote for
26:09
Speaker 7: Kate Conley. Here's her grade for Kathy Hochul. Cut number 15.
26:14
Speaker 9: Giving a grade of A through F, how would you
26:16
Speaker 9: grade Governor Kathy Hochul, Ms.
26:17
Speaker 1: Conley?
26:17
Speaker 11: Depends on the issue.
26:20
Speaker 17: I'd say a B, but we've got a lot of
26:22
Speaker 17: areas we have to address, like the affordability crisis, which
26:24
Speaker 17: is hitting the Hudson Valley very hard.
26:26
Speaker 23: A B.
26:28
Speaker 7: She would give Kathy Hochul a B. Now, what kind
26:31
Speaker 7: of moron is going to put their trust in this idiot?
26:36
Speaker 7: They asked Mike Lawler what he felt about Zoran Mamdani.
26:41
Speaker 7: He ruined her, ruined him, I should say. And then
26:44
Speaker 7: he went after Kate Conley. Kate gave Kathy Hochul a B.
26:47
Speaker 7: Kate refuses to denounce Zoran Mamdani. And Lawler made it
26:52
Speaker 7: a point. This, Lewis, is cut number 14.
26:56
Speaker 22: Last debate, Kate was given four opportunities to denounce Zoran
27:00
Speaker 22: Mamdani's anti-Semitism, and she refused each time, only for us
27:04
Speaker 22: to see him issue the most vile anti-Semitic statement on
27:07
Speaker 22: October 7th, blaming Jews for their butchering on October 7th.
27:12
Speaker 26: Wow.
27:13
Speaker 1: She did that? Mike Lawler, Kate Connolly.
27:15
Speaker 7: Make sure you vote for Mike Lawler, folks, okay? Do
27:19
Speaker 7: the Valley area a favor, the 17th Congressional District. Do
27:24
Speaker 7: New York a favor. Do our country a favor. Don't
27:28
Speaker 7: vote this idiot Kate Conley in. Mike Lawler should win that,
27:32
Speaker 7: I hope, by a mile. So, Lou and Noam, I'm
27:36
Speaker 7: getting on the ferry yesterday, and I notice I get
27:40
Speaker 7: a text saying, From a 202 area code.
27:42
Speaker 1: Do you guys know what city that is? D.C. Very good.
27:46
Speaker 7: So I'm thinking to myself, oh boy, I was supposed
27:49
Speaker 7: to go yesterday to the State Department. I was invited,
27:54
Speaker 7: personally invited, by the Secretary of State, my friend Marco Rubio,
28:00
Speaker 7: to attend a service they had yesterday, a ceremony for
28:03
Speaker 7: the 46 Americans that were killed, Gaza, during the whole
28:09
Speaker 7: October 7th massacre. And it was Rubio and Howard Lutnick
28:13
Speaker 7: and my dear friend Laura Ortiz who runs Rubio's office.
28:17
Speaker 1: And I go, oh, my God, they're mad at me.
28:19
Speaker 7: I didn't come. I should have come. Looking back, I
28:22
Speaker 7: made a bad decision. But either way, I figured, oh,
28:24
Speaker 7: my God, here we go. But it wasn't them. It
28:27
Speaker 7: turns out it was a reporter by the name of
28:31
Speaker 7: Catherine Hudson, don't know her, who works for.
28:34
Speaker 1: The Washington Post. And she said, Sid, could you call me?
28:39
Speaker 1: So I call her. And I go, hey, it's Sid.
28:42
Speaker 1: You know, we had a little text conversation back and forth. First,
28:44
Speaker 1: I was on the train.
28:46
Speaker 7: And I said, she goes, I got to tell you,
28:48
Speaker 7: I love your show. You got the best show in
28:50
Speaker 7: New York. I said, no, I've got the best show
28:52
Speaker 7: in the country. She said, fine, I agree with that.
28:54
Speaker 7: I said, let me ask you this. You like my show?
28:58
Speaker 7: You write for the Washington Post. You know I said that, right?
29:02
Speaker 7: She goes, I love your show. She goes, I like
29:04
Speaker 7: whatever show I want to like. So once she did that,
29:07
Speaker 7: then I was very comfortable having a discussion with this lady.
29:12
Speaker 7: Do you guys have any idea why she was calling me?
29:15
Speaker 1: Want to take a guess? No idea. No idea.
29:20
Speaker 26: No.
29:21
Speaker 1: No. Okay. Well, this was in the open. I'm going
29:24
Speaker 1: to play it again one more time right now.
29:27
Speaker 7: She wanted to talk to me about these specific comments
29:32
Speaker 7: I made on this show a couple of days ago
29:34
Speaker 7: that ended up being a very popular Instagram reel that
29:38
Speaker 7: went viral and according to folks at Fox News, everybody
29:43
Speaker 7: in their halls are talking about.
29:44
Speaker 1: This, too. Any guess?
29:47
Speaker 13: No?
29:48
Speaker 1: Lou? No.
29:50
Speaker 18: She's got me stumped.
29:50
Speaker 1: Alright, Louis, play cut number two. I'm upset about the
29:55
Speaker 1: new press secretary. I don't dislike her, I just don't
29:58
Speaker 1: like the fact that They chose her, the Trump administration.
30:02
Speaker 1: Katie Zachariah.
30:04
Speaker 7: Well, I sent a text to President Trump, who reads all.
30:08
Speaker 1: My texts, and he does acknowledge them, like he did
30:11
Speaker 1: on Saturday. He answered me every now and then.
30:13
Speaker 7: And I made it very, very clear that I thought
30:15
Speaker 7: Elizabeth Pipko should have been the White House press secretary.
30:18
Speaker 7: Liz has been loyal to President Trump for over a decade.
30:22
Speaker 7: Her husband, Darren, basically runs Eric and Laura Trump's operation.
30:28
Speaker 1: And Pipko... gave up all kinds.
30:30
Speaker 7: Of TV dreams and other big-time jobs hoping to land
30:36
Speaker 7: this gig. And I had heard that a week or
30:39
Speaker 7: two ago that she was the favorite to get it.
30:43
Speaker 7: And I don't know where, how do you say this
30:46
Speaker 7: lady's name?
30:48
Speaker 18: Which one, Zakaria?
30:49
Speaker 1: Zakaria got this. But she gets the job, and I'm
30:53
Speaker 1: not happy about it. I don't dislike her. Again, Katie,
30:55
Speaker 1: I don't know her. Don't know her from a hole
30:57
Speaker 1: in the wall. But I really thought Liz Pipko should
31:00
Speaker 1: have gotten that job. So after watching Zachariah, is that
31:05
Speaker 1: how you say it again?
31:06
Speaker 18: Yeah, I got it wrong. It's Zachariah.
31:08
Speaker 7: After watching her perform two days ago, I think it's
31:12
Speaker 7: fair to say I'm even more, more dead set and
31:17
Speaker 7: aggressive on my point that I made there in that
31:20
Speaker 7: Instagram reel, which I made on this radio program even
31:23
Speaker 7: before Katie did a first briefing. that Liz Pipko should
31:28
Speaker 7: have gotten the job. Now, look, she's under a lot
31:31
Speaker 7: of pressure, this Zachariah, okay?
31:33
Speaker 1: She is.
31:34
Speaker 7: First of all, I sent a nice text to Caroline
31:37
Speaker 7: Levitt yesterday. And I said, hey, Caroline, just in case
31:41
Speaker 7: you didn't realize how great you were, that's all I wrote.
31:44
Speaker 7: And she laughed and got back to me. And I'm
31:46
Speaker 7: not going to share the rest of the conversation. But
31:48
Speaker 7: the truth is, Levitt was so good. Levitt was so good.
31:53
Speaker 7: And the lady before her, who was a Biden lady,
31:56
Speaker 7: Corinne Jean-Pierre.
31:58
Speaker 1: Was a moron.
31:59
Speaker 7: You remember that, no? So this girl, Zachariah, was under
32:03
Speaker 7: a lot of pressure. She's got to replace Caroline Leavitt,
32:07
Speaker 7: who was spectacular in that job.
32:09
Speaker 1: That's first of all, okay. Second of all, you've got
32:11
Speaker 1: to be nervous.
32:13
Speaker 7: You're standing in front of everybody, TV cameras, all these reporters.
32:18
Speaker 1: So now you're nervous, right? And she so desperately wants
32:22
Speaker 1: to impress... and make.
32:23
Speaker 7: Happy President Trump. So I'll give her all that, okay?
32:27
Speaker 7: A little benefit of the doubt. Not easy that day
32:30
Speaker 7: one on the job, all right? Although, again, I know
32:33
Speaker 7: you people think I'm a narcissist and arrogant.
32:36
Speaker 1: And maybe I am. Maybe I am.
32:39
Speaker 7: But you put me behind that podium, day one, same
32:43
Speaker 7: exact spot as Katie, and I promise you, forget about Pipko,
32:47
Speaker 7: you put me behind that podium, I promise you I'm
32:50
Speaker 7: light years better.
32:52
Speaker 1: Light years.
32:53
Speaker 7: Truth is, it's only one day.
32:55
Speaker 1: You got to give her a chance. But one day in,
32:58
Speaker 1: she was horrible. Awful. Any argument there, no?
33:02
Speaker 2: No, none at all.
33:03
Speaker 7: I mean, just awful. At one point, she confused her
33:06
Speaker 7: husband with the president. She would just kind of drift off.
33:10
Speaker 7: There were awkward moments, awkward pauses of silence. When she
33:14
Speaker 7: said Venezuela, she kind of whispered it. You know, she
33:18
Speaker 7: delivered one piece of major news, and that was that
33:21
Speaker 7: The White House this morning asked the ambassador to Greece,
33:25
Speaker 7: Kimberly Guilfoyle, to resign. Of course, Kimberly did resign.
33:29
Speaker 1: She had no choice.
33:30
Speaker 7: You know, some people are saying that one of the
33:33
Speaker 7: reasons why Kimberly decided to resign and not make a
33:36
Speaker 7: big deal about it because she really wants to go
33:38
Speaker 7: out there and state her innocence is that she eventually
33:43
Speaker 7: wants to go to President Trump for a pardon.
33:45
Speaker 1: Did you hear that?
33:47
Speaker 18: Well, I've heard also that she was working on some
33:49
Speaker 18: sort of book.
33:50
Speaker 1: That they were nervous about. That was the other story. Yeah,
33:51
Speaker 1: maybe that too.
33:51
Speaker 7: There's a book and, you know, she's going back to
33:53
Speaker 7: Florida and who knows where she'll end up next. But
33:57
Speaker 7: I was asked by this Washington Post reporter, I'm not
34:00
Speaker 7: sure if she wrote about it yet, maybe today. She said, well,
34:04
Speaker 7: how do you feel today now that you've seen Zachariah
34:09
Speaker 7: behind the podium?
34:10
Speaker 1: And I said, me?
34:11
Speaker 7: I said, if I'm Liz Pipko and I was upset
34:15
Speaker 7: before Katie took the stage... Today, I'm even more upset.
34:21
Speaker 7: That kind of tells you, right?
34:23
Speaker 18: Well, she may be faster than Anthony Scaramucci in terms of.
34:27
Speaker 7: How long she holds on to the job. He was
34:29
Speaker 7: 11 days. You know what's funny about that? Do you
34:31
Speaker 7: know who was all over television yesterday defending Zachariah? The
34:35
Speaker 7: aforementioned Anthony Scaramucci.
34:37
Speaker 1: I don't know why.
34:38
Speaker 7: People put that guy. I got nothing against Anthony. We
34:41
Speaker 7: were actually really, really close friends. He was on this
34:44
Speaker 7: show quite a bit until Bernard one time said, the
34:47
Speaker 7: blood is on your hands or whatever. Dropped dead. I
34:49
Speaker 7: don't know what he said, but it was very nasty
34:52
Speaker 7: to Anthony, and that was the end of that. And Anthony,
34:54
Speaker 7: you know, he calls out Trump all the time. He
34:57
Speaker 7: uses his wife as an excuse. I don't dislike Anthony.
35:00
Speaker 7: We were good friends, really good friends. Him, his wife, Deidre,
35:04
Speaker 7: me and Danielle would have dinners quite a bit at
35:06
Speaker 7: his restaurant, the Hunting Fish Club. But, you know, he
35:09
Speaker 7: became so silly because clearly he has TDS.
35:15
Speaker 1: He's using his wife as an excuse, and no one's
35:18
Speaker 1: really buying that, nobody, you know.
35:20
Speaker 7: But he only lasted 11 days, and he was out
35:22
Speaker 7: there yesterday defending Katie. We have this cut right here, Lou.
35:27
Speaker 7: I believe this is the one where she does. confused
35:30
Speaker 7: the president with her husband. This is the new press secretary,
35:35
Speaker 7: Katie Zachariah, cut number one.
35:37
Speaker 6: The idea of not spending evenings with my kids is
35:41
Speaker 6: completely unacceptable. So my president, excuse me, my husband, that's
35:47
Speaker 6: a good one.
35:48
Speaker 1: That is a good one.
35:49
Speaker 7: So my recommendation is don't wait much longer.
35:53
Speaker 1: Pull the plug.
35:54
Speaker 7: I know President Trump doesn't, you know, I said to
35:57
Speaker 7: the Washington Post reporter, She said, but you.
36:00
Speaker 1: Talked to the president. I said, what? Yeah, I sent
36:03
Speaker 1: him a text. I send him a thousand texts.
36:05
Speaker 7: And the truth is, he only answers every now and then.
36:09
Speaker 7: He did answer me, ironically, just last Saturday morning. Just
36:13
Speaker 7: five days ago, he answered me on a text I
36:15
Speaker 7: sent out about Oscar Belgao and Mayor Mamdani. But I
36:20
Speaker 7: can tell you, for every text that President Trump answers,
36:23
Speaker 7: there are 50 that he doesn't.
36:24
Speaker 1: But he reads every one.
36:26
Speaker 7: I remember a couple years ago I was telling you guys,
36:28
Speaker 7: you think he reads it?
36:30
Speaker 1: And you know who told me he reads every one?
36:31
Speaker 1: Eric Trump, who I spoke to yesterday. So I know
36:34
Speaker 1: he reads it. Every now and then he will respond.
36:37
Speaker 7: And I did tell him a couple of months ago
36:40
Speaker 7: when Lovett decided to leave that Pipko was the right choice.
36:44
Speaker 7: But I recommend to President Trump we bomb Iran, which
36:48
Speaker 7: I did too. You guys know that. Or we hire Pipko.
36:52
Speaker 7: President Trump is not listening to Sid Rosenberg. I understand that.
36:56
Speaker 7: He likes getting advice. He really does. And he listens
36:59
Speaker 7: to everybody. But in the end, President Trump does what's
37:03
Speaker 7: good for him. But I just don't see this one.
37:06
Speaker 7: He's known Liz Pipko forever.
37:08
Speaker 1: Forever.
37:10
Speaker 7: Last Hanukkah, for example, you guys remember? East Wing White House,
37:14
Speaker 7: night three of Hanukkah. President Trump and one of 400
37:18
Speaker 7: people in the White House called three people up on
37:21
Speaker 7: stage that night.
37:21
Speaker 1: Four, four.
37:22
Speaker 7: Miriam Adelson, Mark Levine, Sid Rosenberg, and Liz Pipko. And
37:27
Speaker 7: he made a big deal about Liz.
37:29
Speaker 1: Big deal, okay? Two summers ago, I'm at Bedminster.
37:33
Speaker 7: President Trump is there talking about his anti-Semitism program with J.D.
37:38
Speaker 1: Vance. He hadn't won yet.
37:40
Speaker 7: I'm sitting there with Siggy Flicker, a bunch of others,
37:42
Speaker 7: Newsmax TV. And who does President Trump point out in
37:46
Speaker 7: the crowd and spend a while talking about her?
37:49
Speaker 1: Liz Pipko.
37:51
Speaker 7: Liz Pipko's husband, Darren, who's a terrific guy, he handles
37:54
Speaker 7: the operation.
37:55
Speaker 1: For Eric and Lara Trump.
37:57
Speaker 7: So there's history there. And I know President Trump likes her.
38:01
Speaker 7: Where this girl came from, I have no idea. I
38:04
Speaker 7: would bet my paycheck today that Trump barely knows her.
38:09
Speaker 1: So somebody else made that decision.
38:13
Speaker 7: Trump has got so much going on. He's so worried
38:16
Speaker 7: about the midterms. He really is very worried about that.
38:20
Speaker 7: In 19 days, they can start making his life miserable.
38:23
Speaker 7: Think he cares about this?
38:24
Speaker 1: OK, great. You like her? I know who made the call.
38:28
Speaker 1: I can't share it with you, but I know who
38:29
Speaker 1: made the call. And Trump was like, OK, whatever. You know,
38:32
Speaker 1: you do. Oh, I do know. Yeah.
38:34
Speaker 18: OK, how about hints?
38:35
Speaker 1: No hints.
38:36
Speaker 7: I know who made the call and I know why.
38:39
Speaker 7: But Trump has a lot more to worry about. So
38:42
Speaker 7: now Trump is out there with her yesterday. Now there's
38:44
Speaker 7: a whole new, I guess, scandal part to this.
38:48
Speaker 1: She's not even a lawyer, I guess, right?
38:51
Speaker 18: Well, she graduated law school back in 2011 from Pepperdine.
38:55
Speaker 1: But you've got to pass the bar.
38:56
Speaker 18: Yeah, she sat for the California bar exam, but she
38:59
Speaker 18: did not pass.
39:00
Speaker 1: Oh, she failed. Yeah.
39:02
Speaker 18: But she then claims that there's some connection where she
39:04
Speaker 18: had taken it in China.
39:06
Speaker 1: What?
39:07
Speaker 18: A reporter asked her about this yesterday, and she didn't
39:09
Speaker 18: really give an answer.
39:10
Speaker 1: So let her go to Beijing.
39:11
Speaker 18: She said, when I moved to China. But she didn't
39:13
Speaker 18: specify a jurisdiction where she had actually passed the bar.
39:17
Speaker 18: So the part that's kind of intense for her is
39:19
Speaker 18: there's nothing legal about this job. She doesn't need to
39:22
Speaker 18: be a lawyer to be the White House spokesperson. But
39:24
Speaker 18: it could be something that she never took off her resume.
39:26
Speaker 18: You know, back in the day, you could fudge your
39:29
Speaker 18: resume and maybe get away with it.
39:30
Speaker 1: But in 2026, you can't, not especially with that high
39:33
Speaker 1: profile position.
39:34
Speaker 7: So my recommendation again, just to wrap this up. Thank
39:38
Speaker 7: you very much for trying, Katie. You seem like a
39:40
Speaker 7: lovely girl. You're probably a very nice lady.
39:43
Speaker 1: Get out. And Liz Pipko will be there by Friday, okay?
39:47
Speaker 1: That's my recommendation. I'm also very upset about this horse
39:50
Speaker 1: and carriage thing.
39:51
Speaker 7: I understand the animal lovers out there are worried about
39:54
Speaker 7: the way they treat the horses. But, you know, I
39:57
Speaker 7: hear just as many people say that the horses are
40:00
Speaker 7: actually treated better in Central Park than they are at
40:04
Speaker 7: Barnes in upstate New York.
40:06
Speaker 1: I don't know the real answer. Neither do you. Neither
40:09
Speaker 1: do you, okay? You're going to shut down Aqueduct now?
40:13
Speaker 1: You're going to shut down Belmont now? You want to
40:16
Speaker 1: shut down.
40:16
Speaker 7: Anything that has to do with horses that are not
40:19
Speaker 7: grazing at some barn in Monticello? It's a beautiful tradition.
40:25
Speaker 7: People come from all over. There's a ton of jobs.
40:28
Speaker 7: And now you're really going to count on the mayor
40:34
Speaker 7: and Julie Menon to make sure that they're going to
40:36
Speaker 7: get you a new job after you wipe out the
40:39
Speaker 7: whole industry?
40:40
Speaker 1: You're going to trust Mamdani and Julie Menon?
40:44
Speaker 7: Menon talked about, well, there's been a couple of examples
40:46
Speaker 7: over the years of horses running away, and we had
40:49
Speaker 7: a horse die last summer. And then, of course, very tragic,
40:53
Speaker 7: we had this Indian tourist who was killed. Well, okay,
40:57
Speaker 7: we also had a guy die on a roller coaster
40:58
Speaker 7: this week. You want to shut down every amusement park
41:01
Speaker 7: across America?
41:02
Speaker 1: I don't get it.
41:03
Speaker 7: Now, if there was an epidemic of these horses killing people,
41:06
Speaker 7: if they can give me ten examples this year, ten,
41:10
Speaker 7: I'd say, OK, it's a worthwhile discussion.
41:13
Speaker 1: One guy gets killed. God rest his soul. You're going
41:15
Speaker 1: to shut it all down.
41:17
Speaker 7: Like I said, shut down all the amusement parks because
41:20
Speaker 7: this guy fell out the roller coaster a.
41:21
Speaker 1: Couple of days ago.
41:22
Speaker 7: You don't make decisions based on one person or five people.
41:27
Speaker 7: You just don't do that. So until somebody can prove
41:30
Speaker 7: to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that these
41:33
Speaker 7: horses are being treated horribly, which you can't do, you can't.
41:39
Speaker 1: And shut up. Leave it alone. It's part of New
41:42
Speaker 1: York tradition.
41:43
Speaker 7: I believe the mayor wants to wipe out anything that
41:47
Speaker 7: is traditional here in New York.
41:48
Speaker 1: I really believe that. I don't think he cares about
41:51
Speaker 1: the horses or about this Indian guy that got killed.
41:55
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts, Noam?
41:56
Speaker 18: You know, these animal rights activists, I score one for
41:59
Speaker 18: them because they've been trying to do this for decades. 25,
42:01
Speaker 18: 30 years.
42:02
Speaker 1: They are the most annoying people God ever created. I
42:05
Speaker 1: can't stand them.
42:06
Speaker 18: And they've been successful. Initially, you know, they changed some
42:08
Speaker 18: of the rules for the horses in the park. You know,
42:10
Speaker 18: once it got above a certain temperature, the horses weren't
42:13
Speaker 18: allowed to be out.
42:13
Speaker 2: Good.
42:14
Speaker 1: I like that. That's fair. Right.
42:16
Speaker 18: And so, okay, victory for them there. And then you
42:18
Speaker 18: talk to the people who own these horses. They love them.
42:21
Speaker 18: They love them.
42:22
Speaker 1: They treat them great.
42:23
Speaker 18: It's like your dog or your cat. It's a member
42:25
Speaker 18: of the family.
42:25
Speaker 2: Of course.
42:26
Speaker 7: And even more because not only are they a member
42:28
Speaker 7: of the family, but they're the ones bringing in the income.
42:31
Speaker 26: Yeah.
42:32
Speaker 7: So you're going to wipe out the whole industry because,
42:35
Speaker 7: as tragic as it was, some Indian guy got killed
42:37
Speaker 7: a couple.
42:38
Speaker 1: Of months ago.
42:38
Speaker 18: And there's this one guy that they were talking to
42:40
Speaker 18: yesterday in the park who has been in the industry
42:42
Speaker 18: for 25 years. He came here from Turkey. He's a
42:44
Speaker 18: veterinarian by trade and couldn't get a job, I guess,
42:49
Speaker 18: medical school issues and stuff like that. So he took
42:51
Speaker 18: a job with a horse. He said, who else could
42:54
Speaker 18: treat a horse better than somebody who's a veterinarian?
42:57
Speaker 1: Like I said, if you can prove to me, because
42:58
Speaker 1: I know these animal rights people, they get crazy. If
43:01
Speaker 1: you can prove to me that these horses are.
43:03
Speaker 7: Being abused and being treated really badly, I'll have a discussion.
43:07
Speaker 1: I've never heard anybody be able to do that. They
43:09
Speaker 1: just automatically go, no, it's hot and the horse died
43:13
Speaker 1: last summer. Okay, the horse died last summer. Horses are
43:17
Speaker 1: living beings. They die. They have heart attacks. Things happen.
43:22
Speaker 1: Can you prove to me that the horse died as
43:24
Speaker 1: a result of being in Central Park? I don't know.
43:27
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a ridiculous conversation.
43:29
Speaker 18: Ridiculous. And you take it even a little further. You know,
43:32
Speaker 18: they're going to take this vote next week. And it's
43:34
Speaker 18: likely going to pass. And the industry in June of 2020.
43:37
Speaker 1: It's going to be gone.
43:38
Speaker 18: But the mayor said yesterday, he said, no, I don't
43:40
Speaker 18: even know what jobs these people will get.
43:42
Speaker 1: They don't have a plan in place. They have nothing
43:44
Speaker 1: in place. Nothing.
43:46
Speaker 7: I know Vicky Palladino, for example, she's fighting. for some
43:49
Speaker 7: of these families, but they are going to wipe out
43:52
Speaker 7: a whole industry and ruin a great tradition in New
43:56
Speaker 7: York City based on a horse dying last summer and
43:59
Speaker 7: a tourist.
44:00
Speaker 1: Getting killed a couple of months ago. Maybe it's just me.
44:05
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't get it.
44:06
Speaker 18: You take away these. That's the only thing you've ever done.
44:09
Speaker 18: That's like taking away radio from me.
44:11
Speaker 1: Of course. There's nothing else I can do. Me too.
44:13
Speaker 18: What job could I.
44:13
Speaker 1: Get after this?
44:14
Speaker 22: Me too.
44:15
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm basically a moron outside of this. Same here. And,
44:18
Speaker 1: you know, you talk about the guy that did it
44:20
Speaker 1: for 25 years.
44:21
Speaker 2: Yeah.
44:21
Speaker 7: I played something this morning that ABC did yesterday. This
44:24
Speaker 7: guy's been doing.
44:24
Speaker 1: It for 40 years. 40. Yeah. That's how he feeds
44:28
Speaker 1: his kids. You know? Show me.
44:31
Speaker 7: Show me an example of dead horses all over Central Park.
44:34
Speaker 18: And, you know, one of the things is the MTA chair,
44:36
Speaker 18: Janet Lieber, said yesterday, he says, well, if they want
44:39
Speaker 18: to come work for the MTA... I have plenty of
44:41
Speaker 18: jobs for them at the MTA. So that's just what
44:43
Speaker 18: they want to do.
44:44
Speaker 1: That's just what they want to do, exactly. That miserable job.
44:46
Speaker 7: All right, what else we got? Actually, let me, I
44:48
Speaker 7: guess I can, no, I don't want to play Julie Menon.
44:50
Speaker 1: She's annoyed a lot of me lately.
44:51
Speaker 18: What did she do, Julie Menon?
44:52
Speaker 1: No, what do you mean, what'd she do?
44:54
Speaker 7: She's highlighting a handful of incidents that led to this elimination.
45:00
Speaker 18: Oh, you're talking about the horse thing?
45:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's annoyed me lately again. She was doing okay
45:05
Speaker 1: with me for a little while there, Julie.
45:06
Speaker 18: You go back and forth with Julie. Sometimes you love her,
45:08
Speaker 18: sometimes you hate her.
45:09
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's true, but that's not good. I mean, ideally,
45:12
Speaker 7: I want to really like somebody. And if once, once
45:15
Speaker 7: in a blue moon, they do something that annoys me,
45:17
Speaker 7: that's one thing.
45:18
Speaker 1: But like you said, it's day to day with Julie Menon.
45:20
Speaker 1: Day to day.
45:23
Speaker 7: Besides the fact that she has not once but twice
45:26
Speaker 7: called me an Islamophobe publicly twice.
45:30
Speaker 1: I got over that. I got over her terrible treatment
45:33
Speaker 1: of my friend Vicky Palatino. I got over all that.
45:36
Speaker 7: But when you tell Bibi Netanyahu to pipe down And
45:40
Speaker 7: now you want.
45:41
Speaker 1: To wipe out a whole industry because you're scared of
45:43
Speaker 1: the mayor? Shut up. What else do you have, Rome?
45:48
Speaker 18: I think you covered most of what's going on in
45:50
Speaker 18: the world.
45:50
Speaker 1: To be honest with you.
45:51
Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean, normally I can give you five or
45:54
Speaker 18: six stories you missed.
45:55
Speaker 7: This is why a week from today. What happens a
45:59
Speaker 7: week from today, Rome?
46:01
Speaker 18: A week from today. So today is Thursday. So a
46:04
Speaker 18: week from today would also be Thursday, if I'm not mistaken,
46:06
Speaker 18: if I've counted that correctly.
46:08
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that.
46:08
Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah.
46:11
Speaker 1: It speaks directly to what you just said.
46:13
Speaker 18: I know that's the day. Every Thursday they have free.
46:15
Speaker 1: Lunch on the fifth floor. Shut up, I'm begging you.
46:17
Speaker 1: Is that what you're talking about? Is they still have that?
46:18
Speaker 2: Yeah.
46:19
Speaker 7: No, week from today, I will be inducted into the
46:22
Speaker 7: New York State Broadcasters.
46:23
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame.
46:24
Speaker 18: How could I forget?
46:26
Speaker 1: You want to forget. You hate it. You're like, what
46:28
Speaker 1: about me? You're going to be there, too.
46:30
Speaker 2: I am.
46:31
Speaker 1: I'm excited for it.
46:32
Speaker 7: Sitting with my wife and my kids and my mother,
46:34
Speaker 7: 91-year-old Naomi's coming to New York City. I don't remember
46:38
Speaker 7: the last time my mom was in Manhattan. Probably at
46:41
Speaker 7: the Playboy Club with my father 30 years ago.
46:43
Speaker 1: But they're all coming in. You're going to be there.
46:45
Speaker 18: You know, there was a lot of talk we had
46:47
Speaker 18: months ago about who was going to do your introduction speech.
46:51
Speaker 18: Is it your mom in the end who's going to
46:52
Speaker 18: do the speech?
46:53
Speaker 7: You know what's funny about that? There is no introduction
46:56
Speaker 7: speech on the run-up show. We talked about Lou Ruffino.
47:00
Speaker 7: We talked about my mom. Craig Carton wanted to do it.
47:03
Speaker 7: But there is no introduction speech in the run-up show.
47:07
Speaker 25: How convenient.
47:09
Speaker 2: Yeah.
47:09
Speaker 7: So this way, because they probably over the years, I'm
47:11
Speaker 7: being serious, got so many people that got so upset.
47:16
Speaker 7: I mean, how do you pick one person? I just
47:19
Speaker 7: mentioned three. I love them all dearly. Louis, my mother.
47:23
Speaker 1: So they probably don't do it because, you know, Then
47:27
Speaker 1: that person has a lot of explaining to do to
47:29
Speaker 1: everybody else. So it's not part of the run of
47:31
Speaker 1: the show.
47:31
Speaker 25: Well, you're going to get up and talk, right?
47:33
Speaker 23: Yes.
47:33
Speaker 7: I get four minutes. Now, let me ask you this, boys.
47:37
Speaker 18: Does the bell go off after four minutes?
47:39
Speaker 1: I don't know. They start playing the music. What are
47:41
Speaker 1: the odds I'm going to do this in four minutes?
47:44
Speaker 1: No way.
47:44
Speaker 23: No chance.
47:45
Speaker 26: No way.
47:45
Speaker 25: First of all, I.
47:47
Speaker 1: Am going last. There are seven people being inducted a
47:52
Speaker 1: week from today. Some of the names are... are pretty recognizable.
47:56
Speaker 7: Bill Ritter, who just retired from Channel 7 ABC, he's
48:00
Speaker 7: got some issues, God bless him, with.
48:04
Speaker 1: What does he have?
48:05
Speaker 2: Alzheimer's.
48:05
Speaker 1: Alzheimer's, yes. And that's very, very sad. So he's going
48:09
Speaker 1: to be there. He's going in.
48:11
Speaker 7: The very, very popular Rosanna Scotto, Channel 5 every morning,
48:15
Speaker 7: Good Day New York, she's going in. Then you have
48:17
Speaker 7: three or four people from upstate New York that no one's.
48:19
Speaker 1: Ever heard of, including their own parents. And then you've
48:23
Speaker 1: got me.
48:23
Speaker 7: So seven people, they picked me to go last, and
48:26
Speaker 7: I swear to God they said because Sid's the biggest star.
48:29
Speaker 7: So being that I'm last, I swear to God, Sid's
48:33
Speaker 7: the biggest name.
48:34
Speaker 1: He's the guy.
48:35
Speaker 7: So being there's nobody after me waiting, I'm going to
48:38
Speaker 7: take this bitch for like 40 minutes.
48:40
Speaker 25: Yeah, they made a big mistake.
48:41
Speaker 1: Big mistake. Right, if you put me first or second,
48:44
Speaker 1: then Scotto's sitting there.
48:45
Speaker 25: Yeah, and the pressure is on you to move it.
48:47
Speaker 1: Right.
48:48
Speaker 25: Now forget it.
48:48
Speaker 1: Now forget it.
48:49
Speaker 27: They're going to be putting the chairs back up on
48:51
Speaker 27: the tables while you're still talking.
48:52
Speaker 25: It's not going to.
48:53
Speaker 1: Go on and on.
48:54
Speaker 18: You should speak until they tell you to stop. Until
48:57
Speaker 18: someone actually walks up to the desk and tells you
48:59
Speaker 18: to shut up.
49:01
Speaker 25: Like he doesn't know that already.
49:03
Speaker 7: Listen to me carefully. I have no intention of stopping.
49:06
Speaker 7: The people are there to see me. That's the bottom line.
49:09
Speaker 7: I have no intention of stopping until I am forcefully,
49:12
Speaker 7: just like they kicked me out of the State of
49:15
Speaker 7: the Union, the uh the capitol police on the secret
49:17
Speaker 7: surface literally dragged me out literally grabbed me by my
49:21
Speaker 7: forearm and dragged me out it'll be the same thing
49:23
Speaker 7: a week from today.
49:24
Speaker 1: Great i want to see it you do right well
49:26
Speaker 1: i want to see something.
49:29
Speaker 27: If you're not going to stop yourself like you typically
49:31
Speaker 27: don't do.
49:32
Speaker 18: Yeah And if I have to sit through six other people,
49:36
Speaker 18: you better be good.
49:37
Speaker 7: Well, if they go by the four-minute deal, then the
49:40
Speaker 7: other six people combined will only last about 25 to
49:43
Speaker 7: 30 minutes.
49:45
Speaker 18: That's not the case.
49:45
Speaker 1: Of course not. They're not going to go four minutes.
49:48
Speaker 1: No chance.
49:49
Speaker 18: Rosanna Scotto, she's not going to shut up after four minutes.
49:52
Speaker 1: Rosanna Scotto, she has no idea why she's even going.
49:56
Speaker 1: She's like, yeah, I think I got an award. I go, no, no, Rosanna, sweetheart,
49:59
Speaker 1: you made the Hall of Fame. It's kind of a
50:01
Speaker 1: big deal. She goes, I did? She goes, well, what
50:03
Speaker 1: am I supposed to do? This is a couple of
50:05
Speaker 1: days ago. I go, what do you mean what are
50:07
Speaker 1: you supposed to do? Well, am I supposed to speak? Yes, Rosanna,
50:11
Speaker 1: you've got four minutes. Oh, okay. She had no idea.
50:14
Speaker 7: She's barely paid attention to any of this. Me, I
50:17
Speaker 7: got people making videos. President Trump sent me a video.
50:21
Speaker 7: Bebe sent me a video. Yesterday, Mike Lawler and Michael Rappaport.
50:24
Speaker 7: She's like, do I get to speak?
50:26
Speaker 1: I go, yeah, four minutes.
50:27
Speaker 23: Okay, great.
50:28
Speaker 18: Wait, so now they're going to play all those videos
50:30
Speaker 18: that you have?
50:31
Speaker 7: Every Hall of Fame inductee, they play a video, which
50:36
Speaker 7: is anywhere from three to five minutes before they come up.
50:40
Speaker 25: Okay, so that's already taken that much time.
50:42
Speaker 1: Well, no, that has nothing to do with your four-minute
50:44
Speaker 1: speaking time.
50:44
Speaker 18: Oh, so that's like ten minutes altogether.
50:46
Speaker 7: Right, so my video happens to be the, it goes
50:49
Speaker 7: the distance.
50:50
Speaker 1: It's five minutes and four seconds.
50:52
Speaker 24: Oh, God.
50:52
Speaker 1: Because Trump is in there, and Beebe's in there, and
50:56
Speaker 1: John Katz and Matides made the video. Congratulations, John.
51:00
Speaker 25: There better be a lot of caffeinated.
51:02
Speaker 1: Coffee in there.
51:03
Speaker 18: Wait, did Lou and Justin make the video?
51:04
Speaker 1: No, they got cut because of President Trump.
51:06
Speaker 26: What?
51:06
Speaker 2: Yes.
51:06
Speaker 25: What are you talking about?
51:08
Speaker 18: Did you see what Lou said?
51:11
Speaker 1: Just trust me. I know what I'm doing, okay? Just
51:14
Speaker 1: trust me.
51:14
Speaker 25: You mean, what do you say?
51:15
Speaker 1: They made the decision, not me.
51:17
Speaker 26: I know what I'm doing. We got cut?
51:19
Speaker 24: Yes.
51:20
Speaker 1: I thought Justin told you.
51:21
Speaker 25: I don't think he wanted to tell me that.
51:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, they sent an email.
51:24
Speaker 7: They said, well, if we put Trump in and Bibi,
51:27
Speaker 7: we're not going to have time for Justin and Lou,
51:31
Speaker 7: both of them.
51:31
Speaker 23: All right, great.
51:32
Speaker 1: But I got something planned.
51:33
Speaker 26: Don't worry.
51:33
Speaker 18: Wait, so you chose Justin?
51:35
Speaker 1: No, I didn't choose anything. The Hall of Fame people
51:38
Speaker 1: chose him.
51:39
Speaker 18: So they chose Justin?
51:40
Speaker 1: No, Justin's not in it.
51:41
Speaker 18: Oh, so both Justin and Lou are out.
51:43
Speaker 1: I had nothing to do with it.
51:44
Speaker 18: And they sat down with this camera crew and they
51:46
Speaker 18: were there for like a half hour talking to them.
51:49
Speaker 1: But I got something. I have something planned. Don't worry.
51:53
Speaker 27: The next time you and Trump are out late at Blondie's, okay?
51:57
Speaker 1: You tell him, hey, you're going to make the cut
51:59
Speaker 1: for being here. Oh, Lou who?
52:01
Speaker 18: Who's Lou?
52:03
Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
52:07
Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
52:09
Speaker 7: I have statistics that I can give you where dozens
52:14
Speaker 7: of people have been killed.
52:16
Speaker 1: Dozens. Scooters.
52:18
Speaker 7: What about these scooters all across the city?
52:22
Speaker 1: Lynn Hort, good job. What about the bikes? Bo Dietl,
52:25
Speaker 1: good job. What about bicycles?
52:27
Speaker 7: They've killed people in this city in much bigger numbers
52:32
Speaker 7: than a horse who killed some Indian tourist.
52:35
Speaker 1: God rest his soul. Why aren't they banning scooters and bikes?
52:40
Speaker 18: Well, I know that they're trying to lower the mopeds
52:43
Speaker 18: that can go above like 30 miles an hour and
52:45
Speaker 18: take them off the streets.
52:46
Speaker 1: Why aren't they banning? Well, you're not trying to lower
52:48
Speaker 1: anything with the horses.
52:49
Speaker 2: No.
52:50
Speaker 7: Or the guys, you're taking them out of business. Why
52:53
Speaker 7: aren't they banning scooters and bikes?
52:55
Speaker 18: Well, I will say that I know they're trying to
52:57
Speaker 18: regulate them more, but there's so many of them.
53:00
Speaker 1: Again, they're not trying to regulate the horse. They're wiping
53:04
Speaker 1: out the industry. No, I agree. They're wiping it out. Okay?
53:07
Speaker 1: Why not?
53:07
Speaker 7: And there's one dead person on one dead horse in
53:10
Speaker 7: the last year. I can find a lot more dead
53:13
Speaker 7: people on bicycles and scooters.
53:15
Speaker 1: A lot more.
53:15
Speaker 27: You can go bigger than that. You can go to
53:17
Speaker 27: cars and everything. Everything could kill you.
53:21
Speaker 1: Of course.
53:22
Speaker 23: Yes. Of course.
53:23
Speaker 18: Or even Justin himself on a city bike is dangerous.
53:27
Speaker 1: I wiped out three times yesterday on the way home.
53:29
Speaker 1: But seriously, these scooters and these bikes. I mean, you
53:33
Speaker 1: walk across the street. I got to tell you, it's scary.
53:36
Speaker 18: Wipe out Justin.
53:37
Speaker 23: Yeah.
53:37
Speaker 1: I got scrapes all over my knees and elbows.
53:39
Speaker 7: Just two days ago, I got out of the Ford train,
53:44
Speaker 7: which I do every day on Wall Street, to walk
53:47
Speaker 7: over to the ferry like Lewis does every day, you know.
53:50
Speaker 7: And I walk across the street from the train to
53:54
Speaker 7: Wall Street where the TD Bank is, Lewis, you know.
53:56
Speaker 1: And I came very close. This bike came by, had
54:00
Speaker 1: to be 50 miles an hour.
54:01
Speaker 25: Yeah, they come fast.
54:03
Speaker 1: Fast.
54:03
Speaker 7: And I came very, now look, I wasn't paying attention.
54:07
Speaker 7: I was watching my phone. That doesn't matter, okay? That
54:10
Speaker 7: doesn't mean I should be, I know it's shocking, but
54:12
Speaker 7: the truth is, that doesn't mean I should get wiped
54:14
Speaker 7: out by some bicycle driver going 50 miles an hour,
54:18
Speaker 7: and people die. They die. Stop with the horses, Julie Menon,
54:24
Speaker 7: Mayor Mamdani. Stop trying to make our city different.
54:28
Speaker 1: Stop it.
54:29
Speaker 7: If there's any industry that should be banned in this city,
54:33
Speaker 7: not only are they not banning it, they're making more
54:35
Speaker 7: and more bike lanes.
54:37
Speaker 1: More and more. Oh, everywhere.
54:39
Speaker 18: Yeah.
54:40
Speaker 25: Hey, wasn't that a sidewalk before?
54:42
Speaker 22: Right.
54:42
Speaker 25: And now you can park and.
54:43
Speaker 1: Yeah.
54:43
Speaker 26: Nope.
54:45
Speaker 1: You son of a bitch.
54:48
Speaker 18: Everybody's waiting on their Grubhub order, so those guys are
54:50
Speaker 18: going a zillion miles an hour to get to.
54:53
Speaker 1: Bicycles and scooters are a heck of a lot more
54:56
Speaker 1: dangerous in this city, Julie Menon and Mayor Mamdani, than
55:01
Speaker 1: the horse who's walking around this couple... From Ohio, who's
55:08
Speaker 1: never been to New York City, that are loving a
55:10
Speaker 1: beautiful day in Central Park, and they leave our city,
55:13
Speaker 1: and they spend a ton of money, and they tell
55:16
Speaker 1: all their friends and family, when you go to New York,
55:18
Speaker 1: you got to do that. You got to take that
55:20
Speaker 1: horse and carriage. Boy, that's beautiful. Let's wipe that out.
55:24
Speaker 1: Let's take all these immigrants. You love the immigrants? They're
55:27
Speaker 1: all immigrants. I promise you. The overwhelming majority of these
55:31
Speaker 1: horse carriage riders are immigrants. Let's wipe them out.
55:35
Speaker 23: So what?
55:35
Speaker 1: They got four or five kids. So what? You know,
55:38
Speaker 1: it goes back to Oscar Belga.
55:41
Speaker 7: For all you people that are complaining that, oh, my God,
55:45
Speaker 7: Ice shot into the car with a five-year-old, Oscar.
55:48
Speaker 1: Belga knew, knew they were looking for him. They knew it.
55:52
Speaker 1: He knew it. Okay? He knew it. He had that
55:56
Speaker 1: kid in the car to protect himself. Trust me.
56:00
Speaker 7: Gang banging, drug dealing, long rap sheet. He didn't all
56:04
Speaker 7: of a sudden become father of the year.
56:06
Speaker 1: All right.
56:07
Speaker 7: But he figured I put the kid in the backseat
56:09
Speaker 7: of the car. No one's going to mess with me.
56:11
Speaker 7: That's on him. If, God forbid, something bad happened to
56:14
Speaker 7: that kid, and thank God nothing did, that's on Oscar,
56:17
Speaker 7: not on ICE. They're trying to put a bad guy away.
56:21
Speaker 7: They're trying to get a bad guy off the streets.
56:23
Speaker 7: What Oscar Belgal did is what Hamas does. Hamas uses
56:28
Speaker 7: kids and innocent people as human shields. They set up
56:32
Speaker 7: in schools and kindergartens and hospitals so that when somebody
56:38
Speaker 7: gets killed, they can say, look!
56:40
Speaker 1: That's what Oscar Belgal did. But you people are too
56:43
Speaker 1: stupid to realize that. You're too stupid and you're too
56:47
Speaker 1: politically biased. That's why I'm here. That's why I'm number one.
56:51
Speaker 1: Because I tell you the truth.
56:54

57:55
Speaker 1: so you guys know I'm very close with Sarah.
57:57
Speaker 7: She was almost vice president with John McCain, and her
58:01
Speaker 7: and I become good friends through Ron Duguay, the former
58:03
Speaker 7: great New York Ranger. That's her boyfriend. So Ronnie's back
58:07
Speaker 7: in the hospital. He's not doing great. And he starts.
58:10
Speaker 1: Kidney dialysis today. So when she got to the hospital
58:15
Speaker 1: last night, she went from Alaska to California. Ronnie's in
58:18
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. He was unconscious.
58:21
Speaker 7: But she did say that at one point he woke
58:24
Speaker 7: up and she said, Sid sends his love. And he
58:28
Speaker 7: smiled and stuck up his thumb.
58:31
Speaker 1: Ron Duguay.
58:31
Speaker 2: That's amazing.
58:32
Speaker 1: Thank you to Sarah Palin for that.
58:34
Speaker 7: Updating me on Ronnie's condition, but if you are a

59:27
Speaker 1: like 10,000 a plate.
59:30
Speaker 7: And then the Knicks will take on the Toronto Raptors
59:32
Speaker 7: in preseason basketball, the regular season, I guess still a
59:36
Speaker 7: couple of weeks away.
59:37
Speaker 1: Maybe less. LeBron James and the 76ers here night one
59:41
Speaker 1: when we raised the banner.
59:42
Speaker 7: But I'll be at the Garden tonight with James Dolan
59:44
Speaker 7: and Bruce Blakeman as Blakeman continues to kick ass. He's
59:48
Speaker 7: got all the right friends, all the great New Yorkers
59:52
Speaker 7: that love him. So me, Bruce, and Jim Dolan from
59:55
Speaker 7: Madison Square Garden later on tonight. Now, we've got these
59:58
Speaker 7: great union presidents. You know, I love the cops.
1:00:01
Speaker 1: They love me. They're great to me.
1:00:02
Speaker 7: Scott Monroe, the DEA, so good to me last week,
1:00:05
Speaker 7: even before him. My friend Paul was great to me,
1:00:08
Speaker 7: Paul DiGiacomo. Yeah, Pat Hendry with the PBA. And this
1:00:13
Speaker 7: guy who I'm very, very close with, just saw him
1:00:15
Speaker 7: at Russo's on the Bay that night with Scott Monroe.
1:00:18
Speaker 7: He's the SBA president, the sergeant's, and that is the
1:00:22
Speaker 7: great Vincent Vallelon.
1:00:24
Speaker 1: Vinny, good morning, buddy. How are you?
1:00:26
Speaker 2: You tell me. How are you?
1:00:28
Speaker 1: I'm good. I mean, you know, listen, I've got a
1:00:30
Speaker 1: charmed life. I've got a beautiful wife and great healthy children.
1:00:33
Speaker 1: I'm going to the Hall of Fame and I got
1:00:35
Speaker 1: a good job. Hopefully still have a new contract, hopefully.
1:00:38
Speaker 23: That's fantastic.
1:00:40
Speaker 1: But I'm pissed because I hate the mayor. I hate
1:00:44
Speaker 1: the governor. I hate the way they treat you guys,
1:00:47
Speaker 1: cops specifically. And I know you feel the same way.
1:00:51
Speaker 2: Yes, I do.
1:00:52
Speaker 1: You do.
1:00:53
Speaker 7: That's the bottom line. I remember when Mamdani started, Vince.
1:00:57
Speaker 7: And you were a little more careful with your words.
1:00:59
Speaker 7: You're like, hey, listen, I got to give the guy
1:01:01
Speaker 7: a chance. I do have some sergeants that actually like him,
1:01:04
Speaker 7: so I got to.
1:01:05
Speaker 1: Be more careful.
1:01:06
Speaker 7: But it seems to me, Vincent, that the longer this
1:01:09
Speaker 7: guy stays in office and the more times you're on
1:01:13
Speaker 7: this radio program, that you personally have lost your patience.
1:01:18
Speaker 2: Ten months in, and you can't have it both ways.
1:01:23
Speaker 2: You can't take credit for the drop in crime every
1:01:25
Speaker 2: month when you sit with the PC and then scapegoat
1:01:29
Speaker 2: the men and women of this department who risk their
1:01:31
Speaker 2: lives every single day upholding the law. So you can't
1:01:35
Speaker 2: tell me that you side with one part of this city,
1:01:38
Speaker 2: the DSA, who bring nothing to the table and want
1:01:42
Speaker 2: nothing but destruction. And they want to destroy our way
1:01:46
Speaker 2: of life. They want to destroy the way our kids
1:01:48
Speaker 2: grow up. And at the same time, You know, we're
1:01:52
Speaker 2: keeping things safe in the city, regardless of the way
1:01:55
Speaker 2: that they try and change the laws. And you know what?
1:01:58
Speaker 2: I'm sick and tired of this nonsense. I'm sick and
1:02:01
Speaker 2: tired of the parties. I don't care if you're a
1:02:02
Speaker 2: Republican or Democrat. If you're not doing what's right by
1:02:06
Speaker 2: our families and by the citizens of New York, you
1:02:09
Speaker 2: can go take a for the for the for the
1:02:12
Speaker 2: me to try and Catch my words.
1:02:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, he almost cursed. I love it.
1:02:16
Speaker 24: You can go.
1:02:16
Speaker 2: Take a hike, all right? I'm sick and tired of
1:02:18
Speaker 2: this nonsense. This guy has done nothing for this city
1:02:21
Speaker 2: 10 months in.
1:02:23
Speaker 1: No, he's done nothing. But, you know, don't forget, when
1:02:26
Speaker 1: he got his budget passed and he had to borrow
1:02:29
Speaker 1: like $ 8 billion from the governor, that moron, to do it,
1:02:33
Speaker 1: and he was still taking a victory tour like he
1:02:35
Speaker 1: did something great, at the very last hour, after midnight,
1:02:40
Speaker 1: giving the city council basically no chance to do anything
1:02:42
Speaker 1: about it, He decided not to add about 600 cops
1:02:48
Speaker 1: that he promised to add the day before. You know that, right?
1:02:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, but 600 cops are dropping the bucket, okay? Because
1:02:54
Speaker 2: they're going to say they added 600 cops, and then
1:02:57
Speaker 2: you're going to lose 700 cops to retirement.
1:03:00
Speaker 23: So you can't, again, you can't.
1:03:01
Speaker 2: Have it both ways. And when Albany.
1:03:07
Speaker 2: Gives him this money, they know what his agenda is.
1:03:10
Speaker 2: So they just as responsible as what, you know, for
1:03:13
Speaker 2: everything that he presents to the city.
1:03:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's true.
1:03:17
Speaker 24: And, and, you know, and, and when, when people, when people.
1:03:19
Speaker 23: Are, are, are complicit over, over this stuff, you know,
1:03:23
Speaker 23: what happens?
1:03:24
Speaker 2: We all suffer from it, not them because they're still fundraising.
1:03:28
Speaker 7: So as a, as a union president, the mayor did
1:03:32
Speaker 7: come out a couple of days ago and, And he's
1:03:34
Speaker 7: getting a lot of pressure, I guess. Tensions are high
1:03:37
Speaker 7: at City Hall because a lot of those creeps in
1:03:40
Speaker 7: and around him. And he's the biggest creep of all,
1:03:41
Speaker 7: of course. But they want him to fire Jessica Tish.
1:03:44
Speaker 7: And he says, I won't do it. And look, he
1:03:46
Speaker 7: may be a bad guy.
1:03:47
Speaker 1: He is a bad guy. But he's not stupid, okay?
1:03:50
Speaker 7: And the truth is, yes, he does boast about those
1:03:53
Speaker 7: crime numbers because... Jessica Tisch does a good job.
1:03:56
Speaker 1: I think you'd agree. And secondly, she's a Jew. OK,
1:03:59
Speaker 1: he's got enough.
1:04:00
Speaker 7: To worry about with everybody calling him an anti-Semite from
1:04:02
Speaker 7: me every day to Bruce Blankman.
1:04:04
Speaker 1: He doesn't need more of that. But I don't think
1:04:06
Speaker 1: he loves her. I don't think he really cares about her.
1:04:09
Speaker 1: She she serves a purpose for him. And so she
1:04:12
Speaker 1: sticks around. You're not upset with Jessica Tisch, are you?
1:04:16
Speaker 2: Absolutely not. You know, I'm not.
1:04:19
Speaker 1: You think she's great at her job, right?
1:04:21
Speaker 2: Well, I'm telling you that I work with her. So,
1:04:23
Speaker 2: you know, I don't care what anybody else says. You know,
1:04:26
Speaker 2: my job is to make sure that my men and
1:04:28
Speaker 2: women are taken care of. And she has done everything
1:04:32
Speaker 2: she possibly can to make sure that that's the job
1:04:35
Speaker 2: that she does. And you know what?
1:04:37
Speaker 23: What he does, he's a politician.
1:04:40
Speaker 2: And he's done nothing. I don't understand how people don't
1:04:43
Speaker 2: realize that, you know, from day one, 10 months in,
1:04:46
Speaker 2: he should have totally corrected the city. He's letting these
1:04:50
Speaker 2: politicians stand in front of demonstrations and then blame the
1:04:53
Speaker 2: cops later on because an individual fell to the floor
1:04:58
Speaker 2: during a demonstration.
1:04:59
Speaker 24: Well, you know what?
1:05:00
Speaker 2: If you're running for office, you shouldn't be in those situations.
1:05:03
Speaker 2: You shouldn't be that person that's sitting there and yelling
1:05:05
Speaker 2: at the cops and screaming at the cops when you
1:05:07
Speaker 2: want to represent those cops.
1:05:09
Speaker 24: True.
1:05:10
Speaker 7: This is SBA President Vincent Balalong. So we've been talking
1:05:13
Speaker 7: for days about Oscar.
1:05:14
Speaker 1: I forgot his last name already. He's a lowlife.
1:05:17
Speaker 23: Who cares?
1:05:18
Speaker 1: Right, right.
1:05:19
Speaker 7: And instead of the mayor coming out and saying, listen,
1:05:23
Speaker 7: I don't want this guy on the streets.
1:05:25
Speaker 1: Look, you want to be critical of ICE because you're stupid?
1:05:28
Speaker 24: Go ahead.
1:05:28
Speaker 7: Go for it, okay? Even though we know you can
1:05:31
Speaker 7: count on two hands. Two hands, the amount of incidents
1:05:36
Speaker 7: that occurred with people that tried to confront or resist
1:05:40
Speaker 7: ICE compared to the thousands and thousands and thousands of murderers, rapists,
1:05:48
Speaker 7: drug dealers, pedophiles that they've taken off the streets.
1:05:51
Speaker 1: The numbers aren't even close.
1:05:53
Speaker 2: You might not like my opinion on this, not you,
1:05:57
Speaker 2: meaning the general public, but ICE itself is doing a job.
1:06:02
Speaker 2: They're trying to protect the people within the community, and
1:06:05
Speaker 2: our politicians are keeping them from doing their job, and
1:06:08
Speaker 2: they're demonizing them.
1:06:10
Speaker 23: ICE is not the demon here.
1:06:11
Speaker 2: You can easily have them show up in the court,
1:06:14
Speaker 2: show up in corrections, pick the people up.
1:06:16
Speaker 23: Guess what? There's never an incident.
1:06:18
Speaker 2: There's no gunfire. There's no little kid in the backseat.
1:06:21
Speaker 2: You know, that kid in the backseat, ICE didn't know
1:06:23
Speaker 2: he was there. The father did. And I can tell
1:06:27
Speaker 2: you this, and I know you that you feel the
1:06:29
Speaker 2: same way. I would never, ever put my kids in
1:06:31
Speaker 2: that same situation.
1:06:32
Speaker 1: Because the father knew they were looking for him. They knew.
1:06:35
Speaker 1: So what did he do? He's the one. He's not
1:06:38
Speaker 1: a parent.
1:06:38
Speaker 2: Right.
1:06:39
Speaker 1: He put that kid's life in danger because he thought, oh,
1:06:41
Speaker 1: maybe they won't mess with me because my kid's in
1:06:43
Speaker 1: the back seat.
1:06:44
Speaker 7: That's on the father. And then for the mayor, I
1:06:47
Speaker 7: had Mark Wayne Mullen on the show yesterday. I hope
1:06:49
Speaker 7: you heard it, Mr. DHS secretary. For the mayor to.
1:06:53
Speaker 1: Spend two hours.
1:06:54
Speaker 7: going back and forth on phone calls with Mark Wayne
1:06:56
Speaker 7: Mullen and President Trump.
1:06:58
Speaker 1: To release this guy who's got a rap sheet that's long, long, long.
1:07:03
Speaker 1: What kind of mayor wants an animal like that back
1:07:06
Speaker 1: on our streets?
1:07:08
Speaker 2: Isn't it amazing how he takes, like, forever to actually
1:07:12
Speaker 2: promote the cops when they do a good job, when
1:07:14
Speaker 2: there's bombings? Apparently, there could be bombings up by Gracie Mansion.
1:07:21
Speaker 23: It takes days.
1:07:22
Speaker 2: But then, if it's a perp, Immediately he gets up
1:07:26
Speaker 2: there and talks about it and says, oh, this shouldn't
1:07:28
Speaker 2: be done because ISIS is doing this and they're not
1:07:32
Speaker 2: doing a good job. They're putting everybody's life in danger.
1:07:35
Speaker 23: That's not true.
1:07:37
Speaker 2: He picks and chooses what he wants to say and
1:07:41
Speaker 2: when he says it to appease his base.
1:07:43
Speaker 1: That's it.
1:07:43
Speaker 23: Totally does.
1:07:44
Speaker 2: Yeah. And the DSA, they're not the friends of New
1:07:47
Speaker 2: York City. They're not the friends of the United States
1:07:49
Speaker 2: of America. And people need to wake up and realize this.
1:07:52
Speaker 1: Well, just to emphasize what you just talked about, okay,
1:07:54
Speaker 1: talking about the cops. He had an opportunity two weeks ago.
1:07:59
Speaker 7: And we all saw this guy speak publicly for the
1:08:01
Speaker 7: first time yesterday.
1:08:02
Speaker 1: And thank God he's alive. Because two illegals... I love
1:08:06
Speaker 1: that word. I know it pisses off the Democrats. Don't
1:08:09
Speaker 1: demonize him.
1:08:10
Speaker 7: Two illegals stabbed Jose Mercedes... Eight times. He survived. Not
1:08:17
Speaker 7: one word from Namdani. He goes on and on about
1:08:20
Speaker 7: Oscar Belgal, who's a gang-banging lifelong criminal, on and on.
1:08:24
Speaker 7: Not a word about Jose Mercedes.
1:08:27
Speaker 2: Sid, justice reform, right? He's looking now to review our
1:08:32
Speaker 2: use of force. So where's your call for justice reform
1:08:36
Speaker 2: when a career criminal stalked an off-duty detective in broad daylight?
1:08:43
Speaker 2: You know, there's no word on that, is there? No,
1:08:46
Speaker 2: there's not. You know, I mean, when you talk about
1:08:48
Speaker 2: justice reform, you talk about, you know, the use of
1:08:50
Speaker 2: force and you're going to review it. Maybe we should
1:08:53
Speaker 2: like change the wording to a response to resisting because
1:08:58
Speaker 2: that's what we do. We respond to the, to, to resistance.
1:09:01
Speaker 2: You know, when, when, when you go out there and
1:09:03
Speaker 2: you commit a crime, you know, you, you should be
1:09:06
Speaker 2: locked up. You know, you have, you have politicians in
1:09:08
Speaker 2: target that are sitting there, you know, you know, in
1:09:11
Speaker 2: the middle of the store screaming and yelling. And I'm
1:09:13
Speaker 2: not going to say who the, who the politician is.
1:09:14
Speaker 2: I think everybody knows at this point, you know, we're
1:09:17
Speaker 2: going at the big business and, that feeds our community.
1:09:21
Speaker 2: And you're in the middle of a store screaming and
1:09:23
Speaker 2: yelling because they had ice set up in a parking lot.
1:09:26
Speaker 2: They didn't know they were setting up there, but you're
1:09:28
Speaker 2: going to demonize the, now the businesses that pretty much
1:09:33
Speaker 2: hire the people in the community.
1:09:36
Speaker 23: This is really, this is absurd.
1:09:38
Speaker 2: This is like Bizarro World, to be.
1:09:40
Speaker 23: Honest with you.
1:09:40
Speaker 26: It is.
1:09:40
Speaker 1: So I'm going to ask you to give me a
1:09:42
Speaker 1: real honest answer here. I know the numbers. I speak
1:09:45
Speaker 1: to Jessica Delaney. I hear the numbers just like everybody else.
1:09:48
Speaker 1: And then I even dive deeper.
1:09:49
Speaker 7: I know the numbers. You are the SBA president. You've
1:09:52
Speaker 7: got sergeants out there doing amazing work every day.
1:09:56
Speaker 1: Is New York City really safer?
1:10:01
Speaker 2: It's safer as long as we're allowed to do our job.
1:10:05
Speaker 2: When we can't do our job, everybody, regardless of what
1:10:09
Speaker 2: community you're in, is in jeopardy. And people really need
1:10:14
Speaker 2: to understand that. You're only as safe as... as your cops,
1:10:20
Speaker 2: you know, and when we, when we actually were able to,
1:10:24
Speaker 2: to enforce the laws and it's, and, and that's a
1:10:27
Speaker 2: part of, you know, the politicians are the ones who
1:10:29
Speaker 2: are watering this down. It's all part of a system
1:10:32
Speaker 2: and they're, they're degrading what it is we do day
1:10:34
Speaker 2: in and day out.
1:10:36
Speaker 1: Can I ask you what the morale is among the sergeants?
1:10:39
Speaker 1: I'm not going to have to speak a part of
1:10:41
Speaker 1: detectives and, uh, You know, the guy's on the beat
1:10:43
Speaker 1: and the girl's on the beat. The morale of your
1:10:46
Speaker 1: officers with this creep in charge, honestly, what is it?
1:10:52
Speaker 23: Not good.
1:10:52
Speaker 1: Not good?
1:10:54
Speaker 12: No.
1:10:54
Speaker 10: Wow.
1:10:56
Speaker 2: No one has any trust in the mayor.
1:11:00
Speaker 1: That's a big statement, Vincent Vallelong. You're actually admitting that
1:11:03
Speaker 1: the morale of your people are not good because of
1:11:05
Speaker 1: the mayor.
1:11:06
Speaker 2: But I told you that I would give him the
1:11:09
Speaker 2: benefit of the doubt. And I have. I haven't spoken
1:11:12
Speaker 2: to him once. And even if I did now, it
1:11:14
Speaker 2: would only be because of what we're talking about right
1:11:17
Speaker 2: now on the radio. You know, he has done nothing
1:11:21
Speaker 2: for us. I believe that it's going to get worse
1:11:25
Speaker 2: over the next few years. And then hopefully people will
1:11:28
Speaker 2: change their mind. I think the governor's race and I
1:11:30
Speaker 2: think the AG's race is going to have ramifications going
1:11:33
Speaker 2: across this state. And people really need to get out
1:11:36
Speaker 2: and vote.
1:11:38
Speaker 1: Bottom line, we need Bruce Blakeman and we need Saritha.
1:11:40
Speaker 7: And we need to have you, Vincent Vallelong, stay in
1:11:44
Speaker 7: your position as the SBA president because not only are
1:11:47
Speaker 7: you great at that job, but you're a great New Yorker.
1:11:50
Speaker 7: You and I talk a lot, a lot off the air,
1:11:53
Speaker 7: and you've got a lot of frustrations, and you share
1:11:55
Speaker 7: the same frustrations. that I've got, and my listening audience has,
1:11:59
Speaker 7: and the majority of New Yorkers have, let's not forget,
1:12:02
Speaker 7: Mamdani didn't get 60% of the vote.
1:12:04
Speaker 1: He didn't get 50%. He got 49%.
1:12:07
Speaker 7: That's not the majority because Cuomo and Sliwa were not
1:12:10
Speaker 7: able to beat him. So it's not as if the
1:12:13
Speaker 7: whole city loves Mamdani. We think that because the media
1:12:16
Speaker 7: says that.
1:12:17
Speaker 2: I'm going to say this. All those people that turned
1:12:20
Speaker 2: around and said, you know, Curtis was the guy. I
1:12:22
Speaker 2: can say this now. He sold everybody out.
1:12:27
Speaker 1: Oh, he did. Absolutely. He called me a box stabber.
1:12:29
Speaker 1: Isn't that funny, Vince?
1:12:31
Speaker 2: Yep.
1:12:32
Speaker 1: He's the box stabber, right?
1:12:33
Speaker 2: All those people, all those people that supported certain people,
1:12:36
Speaker 2: you know, they did it because, you know, all for
1:12:39
Speaker 2: the wrong reasons, not for not, not to keep the
1:12:41
Speaker 2: city safe.
1:12:42
Speaker 1: That's it. Vincent Vallelong, you're awesome. Great, great, great. Ballsy.
1:12:47
Speaker 1: I got to say, ballsy appearance this morning. Keep talking.
1:12:51
Speaker 1: Keep doing your job. We love you. Thank you so much.
1:12:53
Speaker 2: Love you, too.
1:12:54
Speaker 24: All right, man.
1:12:54
Speaker 1: Thank you, buddy. Vincent Vallelong right there, the SBA president.
1:12:58
Speaker 1: That was a great appearance. Won't you say no?
1:13:02
Speaker 18: He's always good.
1:13:03
Speaker 1: No, but he was really honest this morning. He really tried,
1:13:07
Speaker 1: because I would say to him, he would send me
1:13:09
Speaker 1: a text, and he'd go nuts. I wouldn't read it.
1:13:11
Speaker 1: And then he'd come on the air and he'd be like,
1:13:12
Speaker 1: I'm going to give him a chance. I'd go, Vin,
1:13:14
Speaker 1: just kill the guy. Today, he killed the guy.
1:13:18
Speaker 7: And I'm telling you right now that if that was
1:13:20
Speaker 7: Scott Monroe, who represents the detectives, he would say the
1:13:23
Speaker 7: same thing. If that was Patrick Hendry, the PBA guy,
1:13:27
Speaker 7: he would say the same thing. If that was Patrick Lynch,
1:13:31
Speaker 7: the former PBA guy, he would say the same thing.
1:13:34
Speaker 7: Everybody hates the mayor. It's not just Sid Rosenberg. And
1:13:39
Speaker 7: now people... are growing the balls to say it. And
1:13:43
Speaker 7: I love that.
1:13:45
Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
1:13:48
Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
1:13:51
Speaker 1: On his great show at 5 a.m.
1:13:53
Speaker 7: To be the city comptroller, the criteria is you must
1:13:59
Speaker 7: be a crappy Jew. Do you remember I was the
1:14:04
Speaker 7: first person to call Kamala Harris a The vice president.
1:14:09
Speaker 7: She'll be campaigning in five states.
1:14:13
Speaker 1: For the Democrats starting this week, as if that's good news.
1:14:15
Speaker 7: But I referred to her husband in an interview I
1:14:18
Speaker 7: did with President Trump, Doug Emhoff, as a crappy Jew.
1:14:22
Speaker 7: You guys remember that, Norm?
1:14:23
Speaker 1: All you guys? Of course. And that became kind of
1:14:25
Speaker 1: the big thing. And then Jessica Tarloff went on Fox
1:14:28
Speaker 1: and yelled at Trump, even though I said it, you
1:14:30
Speaker 1: dumb bastard. Anyway. So now we've got crappy Jews everywhere.
1:14:35
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer, he's basically a Palestinian. Jerry Nadler, crappy Jew,
1:14:39
Speaker 1: voted for the Iran deal. Same thing with Jamie Raskin,
1:14:42
Speaker 1: crappy Jew. I know I'm missing a whole bunch of others. Oh, Bernie,
1:14:46
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders.
1:14:48
Speaker 7: But it turns out that the guy that was Comptroller
1:14:52
Speaker 7: before this creep was a guy that's about to win
1:14:57
Speaker 7: his congressional race. And he may be the biggest crappy
1:15:00
Speaker 7: Jew of all, Brad Lander. So who replaces Brad Lander
1:15:04
Speaker 7: as the city comptroller? Don't forget, state comptroller, we got
1:15:08
Speaker 7: the race going on right now. My guy, Joe Hernandez.
1:15:12
Speaker 1: Up against a guy I actually like. I kind of
1:15:13
Speaker 1: like Tom DiNapoli. I don't dislike him, but I'm a Republican.
1:15:16
Speaker 1: I like Joe Hernandez a lot, so I'm endorsing Hernandez.
1:15:19
Speaker 1: But that's state comptroller. City comptroller, you got this guy
1:15:24
Speaker 1: who was the former governor Manhattan Borough President, the same
1:15:29
Speaker 1: moron who wanted to bury dead bodies, people who died
1:15:33
Speaker 1: from COVID in Riverside Park, right in the park when
1:15:38
Speaker 1: I lived there. I lived on 104th and West End.
1:15:41
Speaker 1: My beautiful wife, Danielle, ran in that park every day.
1:15:45
Speaker 1: Me and my son, Gabriel, my daughter, Ava, we took
1:15:47
Speaker 1: walks in that park. This moron, Mark Levine, wanted to
1:15:51
Speaker 1: bury dead bodies there. I swear to you. Now he's
1:15:55
Speaker 1: a liar and a crappy Jew because during his campaign,
1:15:59
Speaker 1: he said that they would not divest when it came
1:16:04
Speaker 1: to the bonds for Israel. He said he would, I
1:16:08
Speaker 1: guess he said, in essence, we would do business with Israel.
1:16:12
Speaker 1: Now he's come back and said, well, Israel is a
1:16:15
Speaker 1: pariah state now. which is not true. And now he said,
1:16:19
Speaker 1: we're not going to invest in Israeli bonds. Is that
1:16:23
Speaker 1: basically the story?
1:16:24
Speaker 18: Well, he didn't go as far as saying that Israel
1:16:26
Speaker 18: is a pariah nation, but it was Brad Lander who
1:16:29
Speaker 18: let the Israel bonds lapse. That was like in 2023.
1:16:33
Speaker 18: And so he ran Levine ran on the fact that
1:16:35
Speaker 18: he would reinvest in those bonds when he came in.
1:16:38
Speaker 18: And now he says it doesn't financially make sense as
1:16:41
Speaker 18: the guy who's in charge of, you know, all of
1:16:43
Speaker 18: the municipal pension funds in New York city. to invest
1:16:47
Speaker 18: in Israeli bonds, he says the returns aren't there. So
1:16:51
Speaker 18: he says it's financial considerations. He says it's not politics.
1:16:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it is politics, no? Because it's not even true.
1:16:58
Speaker 1: Is it true?
1:17:00
Speaker 18: You know, I would guess that that's a risky... These days,
1:17:05
Speaker 18: maybe Israeli bonds is not a good investment.
1:17:07
Speaker 23: I don't know.
1:17:08
Speaker 18: I'd have to go look it up.
1:17:08
Speaker 1: I don't know for sure. The Israeli economy is doing
1:17:10
Speaker 1: very well.
1:17:10
Speaker 24: You know that, right?
1:17:11
Speaker 18: It could be.
1:17:12
Speaker 1: No, no, no. I'm telling you. Okay. The Israeli economy
1:17:15
Speaker 1: is doing well.
1:17:17
Speaker 7: So Mark Levine is, like everybody else, caving to his
1:17:21
Speaker 7: Jew-hating base.
1:17:23
Speaker 1: That's all he's doing. He's wrong about that.
1:17:26
Speaker 7: And you can see all the Jewish influencers lining up
1:17:29
Speaker 7: the last couple of days, doing their Instagram videos, taking
1:17:33
Speaker 7: out Mark Levine, who was a terrible Manhattan president and
1:17:37
Speaker 7: has now gone back on his campaign promise. He lied
1:17:42
Speaker 7: since he's become city comptroller.
1:17:45
Speaker 1: Lied. Mark Levine, congratulations. We'll take a short break. When
1:17:49
Speaker 1: we get back, how about the Dodgers? We all had
1:17:53
Speaker 1: the Dodgers going back and winning their third straight World Series.
1:17:56
Speaker 1: They added a whole bunch of money and new players
1:17:59
Speaker 1: to a team that already won it the last two years.
1:18:01
Speaker 1: They are one loss away tonight from being swept by
1:18:06
Speaker 1: the small market Milwaukee Brewers. That's unbelievable. Unbelievable. The Jets
1:18:12
Speaker 1: and Giants back in action this weekend. What will the
1:18:15
Speaker 1: Yankees do this offseason? All that on the table.
1:18:18
Speaker 7: WFAN legend and now weekly Sid Rosenberg contributor, Joe Beningo.
1:18:23
Speaker 3: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
1:18:27
Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
1:18:29
Speaker 1: Hey, no, Zeb Brenner just texted me, the great Zeb Brenner.
1:18:32
Speaker 1: He does that Saturday night show after Shabbos.
1:18:35
Speaker 7: And he said... Israel Bonds is a steady investment. You
1:18:39
Speaker 7: ready for this? Never missed a payment.
1:18:42
Speaker 1: Never.
1:18:43
Speaker 18: All right, that's good to hear.
1:18:44
Speaker 1: He said Mark Levine told him that he's interested in
1:18:47
Speaker 1: running for mayor. So, if you want to run for mayor.
1:18:50
Speaker 1: in New York City, what do you do? You F Israel.
1:18:53
Speaker 18: Well, that's true.
1:18:53
Speaker 23: That helps.
1:18:54
Speaker 1: That's it. That's it. That's your story. It's not risky.
1:18:58
Speaker 7: There's nothing wrong with Israel's economy. They've actually been thriving
1:19:01
Speaker 7: despite a three-year-old plus war. This is Mark Levine, like
1:19:05
Speaker 7: Brad Lander, being a crappy Jew... and keeping his eye
1:19:09
Speaker 7: on a bigger political office. He should be ashamed of himself.
1:19:13
Speaker 7: Mark Levine, another crappy Jew. All right, here he is, folks.
1:19:19
Speaker 7: Does a great job on the fan every week. He's
1:19:21
Speaker 7: with us every week as well. We're lucky to have him.
1:19:24
Speaker 1: One of the all-time greats, Joseph Beningo. JoJo, good morning, buddy.
1:19:28
Speaker 1: How are you?
1:19:29
Speaker 26: Sid, how you doing, bro? First of all, let me
1:19:31
Speaker 26: say this. I don't know if you got a face
1:19:32
Speaker 26: for the big screen or not. I don't know about that,
1:19:34
Speaker 26: but We know that you're a great actor. You've been
1:19:37
Speaker 26: for a long time. I've been around you many times
1:19:40
Speaker 26: when you did just some of your best acting jobs. So,
1:19:43
Speaker 26: you know.
1:19:44
Speaker 1: That's probably true, yes.
1:19:45
Speaker 26: You know, so I just want to put that out there. Again,
1:19:48
Speaker 26: congratulations on the Hall of Fame. God bless you. You
1:19:50
Speaker 26: deserve it. You're one of the all-time greats. You deserve
1:19:53
Speaker 26: to wear the gold jacket. There's no doubt about it.
1:19:55
Speaker 26: I don't know if they give out gold jackets.
1:19:57
Speaker 1: I don't know what they give out exactly, but I
1:19:59
Speaker 1: love a gold jacket. Thank you for that.
1:20:01
Speaker 7: And your next, Craig, Carton, Sid Rosenberg. And I speak
1:20:06
Speaker 7: to the right people. Joe Benigno, you're coming up next,
1:20:08
Speaker 7: and you deserve it as well.
1:20:10
Speaker 1: You know, I was.
1:20:10
Speaker 26: We appreciate it.
1:20:11
Speaker 1: No, I mean it. So every day, I take the
1:20:14
Speaker 1: ferry home, and I have a buddy of mine. He
1:20:16
Speaker 1: drives me in a shuttle from the.
1:20:17
Speaker 7: Ferry to my house, and he's always got the fan on.
1:20:21
Speaker 7: And it's always Evan and Tiki, because that's the time
1:20:23
Speaker 7: of day I get back to the Queens, you know.
1:20:25
Speaker 7: And they were talking yesterday that the Saints owner, Gail Benson,
1:20:30
Speaker 7: Tom Benson's daughter, I guess, and... She had some quarterback
1:20:36
Speaker 7: club luncheon in New Orleans, and she went off on
1:20:40
Speaker 7: Mickey Loomis, the general manager, on Kellen Moore, the head coach.
1:20:45
Speaker 7: The team is one and four. Look, I remember when
1:20:47
Speaker 7: I was young. I watched a guy named John Forcade
1:20:51
Speaker 7: on Monday Night Football. They wore paper bags over their heads.
1:20:54
Speaker 7: They were the Aints. Then you had this renaissance period.
1:20:57
Speaker 7: You had Sean Payton and Drew Brees. They even won
1:20:59
Speaker 7: a Super Bowl. It was great. But now they're back
1:21:02
Speaker 7: to being the Aints. They're 1-4. Clearly, Tyler Shuck is
1:21:06
Speaker 7: not the answer. And when the owner comes out and
1:21:09
Speaker 7: she puts.
1:21:10
Speaker 1: The whole team, the whole team... Listen, this is on you, okay?
1:21:16
Speaker 7: Is that good or bad for the Saints as they
1:21:19
Speaker 7: get set to take on a giant team which has
1:21:22
Speaker 7: the third-best record inside the NFC? Only the unbeaten 49ers
1:21:27
Speaker 7: and the unbeaten Vikings have better records than the Giants.
1:21:32
Speaker 26: Well, let me say this. And the Saints have favored
1:21:35
Speaker 26: in this game by a point and a half.
1:21:37
Speaker 8: How?
1:21:37
Speaker 26: I mean, I don't know how that's possible by any
1:21:40
Speaker 26: stretch of the imagination. I don't know if it was
1:21:42
Speaker 26: the best thing for the owner to go off on
1:21:44
Speaker 26: the team. They do have a young quarterback. He's only
1:21:48
Speaker 26: a second-year head coach. They did some good things toward
1:21:50
Speaker 26: the end of the year. They started the year pretty good.
1:21:53
Speaker 26: They lost a tough game to Detroit where they missed
1:21:56
Speaker 26: a two-point conversion in overtime. It would have won them
1:21:58
Speaker 26: the game. They beat the Ravens in Baltimore. And since then,
1:22:01
Speaker 26: you know, they've had their issues. There's no doubt about it.
1:22:03
Speaker 24: But I don't know.
1:22:04
Speaker 26: I don't think it's the best thing for the owner
1:22:06
Speaker 26: to go off on her team. But with that said, look,
1:22:10
Speaker 26: right now the Giants, bro, they're 3-1. The Giants are
1:22:12
Speaker 26: going to win the division. Let's be honest about it.
1:22:15
Speaker 26: And I'm not a Giants fan, but I love Jameis Winston, man.
1:22:19
Speaker 26: This guy takes more. It's ridiculous. I think only Big
1:22:22
Speaker 26: Don takes more heat than Jameis Winston. This guy is
1:22:28
Speaker 26: probably the best backup quarterback in the NFL. If he's not,
1:22:32
Speaker 26: he's one of the two or three best. There's no
1:22:34
Speaker 26: doubt about it. He could be the starter on at
1:22:36
Speaker 26: least half the teams in a league. And all he
1:22:38
Speaker 26: does is get crap. For some reason... Well, well, listen, listen, listen.
1:22:42
Speaker 1: He does make a lot of really stupid.
1:22:44
Speaker 24: He does.
1:22:44
Speaker 1: He turns the ball over.
1:22:45
Speaker 24: But you know what, bro?
1:22:45
Speaker 26: You can win with this guy.
1:22:47
Speaker 22: Yes.
1:22:47
Speaker 26: You can win with him. And when you got John
1:22:49
Speaker 26: Harbaugh as your head coach to go along with Winston,
1:22:52
Speaker 26: you can win. And I think they're winning the division.
1:22:55
Speaker 26: I really do. Look, the Eagles are in trouble. The
1:22:57
Speaker 26: Eagles are banged up. No Barkley. No Devontae Smith. Their
1:23:00
Speaker 26: best lineman retired, Lane Johnson. They're not the team that
1:23:04
Speaker 26: they were at one time. The coach, Sirianni, had a
1:23:08
Speaker 26: major four-par on Sunday morning, not kicking the ball into
1:23:11
Speaker 26: the end zone and allowing a return that set up
1:23:14
Speaker 26: the game-winning field goal at the end.
1:23:15
Speaker 1: Not only that, forget about kicking the ball into the
1:23:18
Speaker 1: end zone. He could have run the clock all the
1:23:20
Speaker 1: way down before the Eagles kicked their field goal.
1:23:22
Speaker 2: Right.
1:23:23
Speaker 26: But he, but as they always say, hold my beer
1:23:26
Speaker 26: for Dan Quinn. And this kills me. I got to
1:23:28
Speaker 26: say this. Everybody gets on Jaden Daniels, right? That was
1:23:31
Speaker 26: his fault.
1:23:32
Speaker 24: No, no, no.
1:23:33
Speaker 26: This was on the coach. You idiot. You didn't know
1:23:36
Speaker 26: you had no timeouts left. And the game's over.
1:23:40
Speaker 1: Just all you got to do.
1:23:41
Speaker 7: But listen, I'm with you. The coach maybe calls a timeout,
1:23:44
Speaker 7: but the quarterback needs to know.
1:23:45
Speaker 1: That, too. Come on.
1:23:46
Speaker 26: Okay, that's fine.
1:23:47
Speaker 1: Come on.
1:23:47
Speaker 26: But, bro, how about the coach just spiking the ball?
1:23:49
Speaker 26: Here's what we do. There's 30 seconds left.
1:23:51
Speaker 24: What do you mean the coach?
1:23:52
Speaker 1: The coach is on the sideline. The quarterback has to
1:23:54
Speaker 1: spike the ball.
1:23:55
Speaker 26: But, bro.
1:23:56
Speaker 2: Bro.
1:23:57
Speaker 7: You're going to let a multi-million dollar ball player from
1:24:00
Speaker 7: playing football for his whole life?
1:24:01
Speaker 26: You're not going to have a coach who blew a
1:24:03
Speaker 26: 28-3 lead in the Super Bowl to the Patriots.
1:24:05
Speaker 1: That's true.
1:24:05
Speaker 26: Okay, let's start with that.
1:24:07
Speaker 1: Okay?
1:24:08
Speaker 26: Should have a good idea that, hey, this game is
1:24:11
Speaker 26: over if we kick the field goal right now. It
1:24:13
Speaker 26: doesn't matter when you kick it.
1:24:15
Speaker 2: Right.
1:24:16
Speaker 1: I blame them both. I blame them both. I don't know,
1:24:22
Speaker 1: but I blame them both. I blame the coach and
1:24:24
Speaker 1: the quarterback.
1:24:25
Speaker 26: The bottom line is the Giants got away with that.
1:24:28
Speaker 26: They should have lost the game after Scadaboo fumbled. There's
1:24:30
Speaker 26: no doubt about it. And they got away with a
1:24:32
Speaker 26: tie that really didn't hurt them. And I'm telling you,
1:24:35
Speaker 26: I look at this division, who's better? Are the Cowboys
1:24:38
Speaker 26: better than them?
1:24:39
Speaker 1: Maybe, yes.
1:24:40
Speaker 26: First of all, the Giants got the best coach in
1:24:41
Speaker 26: the division.
1:24:42
Speaker 1: Yes.
1:24:42
Speaker 26: All right? I know Syriani's won a Super Bowl. I
1:24:44
Speaker 26: know he's been to a couple. I get it. He's
1:24:46
Speaker 26: the best coach in the division is John Harbaugh. I
1:24:49
Speaker 26: don't think there's any doubt about it.
1:24:50
Speaker 23: All right?
1:24:50
Speaker 26: Let's start with that. Okay? Giants got a pretty solid defense.
1:24:54
Speaker 26: They got a lot of guys on offense. You know,
1:24:56
Speaker 26: you got neighbors. You got Likely. This kid Fields is
1:24:59
Speaker 26: pretty good, too. You know, you got some players there.
1:25:02
Speaker 26: I think the Giants are winning the division. I'm going
1:25:04
Speaker 26: to say this. The Giants, like they did when they
1:25:07
Speaker 26: went to the playoffs on the table a few years ago,
1:25:09
Speaker 26: they're going to go 9-7-1 and win the NFC East.
1:25:13
Speaker 26: There you go.
1:25:13
Speaker 1: I can see it, yes. I mean, Dallas still scares
1:25:15
Speaker 1: me offensively. Their defense is terrible.
1:25:17
Speaker 26: Their defense stinks.
1:25:18
Speaker 1: Terrible.
1:25:19
Speaker 26: Just remember their coach is Schottenheimer. He was our old offensive.
1:25:23
Speaker 24: Coordinator with the Jets.
1:25:25
Speaker 23: I know you hated him.
1:25:26
Speaker 26: Let's not forget about that.
1:25:27
Speaker 1: Well, let me talk about the Jets because they've got
1:25:29
Speaker 1: the Patriots, and we all think about Mark Sanchez, the
1:25:32
Speaker 1: butt bumble every time it's the Jets and Patriots. Right, right.
1:25:35
Speaker 1: You know, we've seen so many different Drake Mays. Drake May,
1:25:38
Speaker 1: the first couple weeks of the season, was awful. The
1:25:40
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, he's been much better. But, of course,
1:25:43
Speaker 1: he hasn't played very good defenses the last two weeks.
1:25:46
Speaker 1: And even though the Jets haven't been great defensively, statistically,
1:25:50
Speaker 1: they are a top-five defense.
1:25:52
Speaker 7: So the question becomes, what Drake May will Jetman see
1:25:57
Speaker 7: on Sunday?
1:25:58
Speaker 26: Well, first of all, let me say this. The Jets
1:26:00
Speaker 26: are 13-47 against their division in the last 10 years.
1:26:03
Speaker 26: Let's start with that. They were 0-6 last year against
1:26:07
Speaker 26: the AFC East. It's been a major issue for this team.
1:26:12
Speaker 26: They come off the win over Cleveland. It wasn't a pretty,
1:26:15
Speaker 26: ugly day, rainy day. You know, Cleveland wound up making
1:26:19
Speaker 26: the bigger mistakes than the Jets did, and the Jets
1:26:21
Speaker 26: took advantage of it and won the football game. So
1:26:23
Speaker 26: we'll take it. We go away. David Bailey had a
1:26:25
Speaker 26: great game. If the perception of this football team, okay,
1:26:30
Speaker 26: Because they're still looked at as they're not very good,
1:26:32
Speaker 26: even though they're 2-3, they're not very good, whatever. Okay,
1:26:34
Speaker 26: obviously they're a lot better than last year, much better.
1:26:36
Speaker 26: Last year they weren't a professional team. Okay, with all
1:26:38
Speaker 26: that said, if you want to change the perception of
1:26:43
Speaker 26: this football team this season, okay, go beat New England
1:26:46
Speaker 26: this week. And, look, this isn't the Patriots. And I
1:26:49
Speaker 26: know they went to the Super Bowl last year. This
1:26:51
Speaker 26: isn't the Patriots of Brady and Belichick and Gronk and
1:26:55
Speaker 26: Edelman and all these guys. They're not the same team.
1:26:58
Speaker 26: Drake May's a nice quarterback. Look, he's not Josh Allen.
1:27:01
Speaker 26: He's not Patrick Mahomes. He's not one of those guys.
1:27:04
Speaker 26: Let's see David Bailey in the defense have the kind
1:27:07
Speaker 26: of game they had last year. Maybe take the ball
1:27:09
Speaker 26: away would be nice. Got to eliminate the penalties. I mean,
1:27:12
Speaker 26: the penalties have been killing this team. Every week they
1:27:14
Speaker 26: had 14 against the Packers. They had 12 against the Bears.
1:27:17
Speaker 26: They had 10 last week. They've got to eliminate these crummy,
1:27:20
Speaker 26: stupid penalties. And, you know, go beat the Patriots in Foxborough,
1:27:25
Speaker 26: and I'll tell you right now, the entire perception of
1:27:28
Speaker 26: this Jet team will change.
1:27:29
Speaker 7: Totally agree, and they can do that. One more on football.
1:27:32
Speaker 7: If this guy stays healthy, because.
1:27:34
Speaker 1: When he's healthy, I've got to tell you, the guy
1:27:37
Speaker 1: never loses. You mentioned Holmes. You mentioned Allen. This guy
1:27:41
Speaker 1: never loses.
1:27:43
Speaker 7: Brock Purdy and the 49ers are 5-0 and they just
1:27:46
Speaker 7: beat Seattle on the road. And again, since this guy
1:27:49
Speaker 7: has come into the league as Mr.
1:27:51
Speaker 1: Irrelevant, he never loses.
1:27:53
Speaker 7: All the 49ers with a healthy Brock Purdy, the class
1:27:57
Speaker 7: of the NFL.
1:27:58
Speaker 26: Right now. Yeah, and I think they got, you know,
1:28:01
Speaker 26: you can make a case on who the best coach
1:28:02
Speaker 26: in the NFL is right now. It's hard to go
1:28:04
Speaker 26: against Kyle Shanahan. I mean, he's right up there. I mean,
1:28:07
Speaker 26: he's a tremendous head coach.
1:28:09
Speaker 1: What about Andy Reid? They're also on the beat of
1:28:12
Speaker 1: the Chiefs.
1:28:13
Speaker 26: That is true. Andy Reid's a tremendous head coach. I
1:28:14
Speaker 26: forgot about it. He's won Super Bowls. But you know what?
1:28:17
Speaker 26: If I had to take one guy right now, I'm
1:28:18
Speaker 26: taking Shanahan.
1:28:19
Speaker 23: Wow.
1:28:19
Speaker 26: I would take him. I know he's lost a couple
1:28:21
Speaker 26: of Superbowls, but his quarter, but again, you, you just
1:28:24
Speaker 26: said his quarterback is Brock Purdy, you know, Andy Reid's
1:28:27
Speaker 26: quarterback is Patrick Mahomes. Okay. So I don't think that
1:28:30
Speaker 26: Brock Purdy's in the same class as Patrick Mahomes. I
1:28:33
Speaker 26: know he's won.
1:28:33
Speaker 24: He won.
1:28:34
Speaker 26: He wins. He's won games with them.
1:28:35
Speaker 1: He wins every week.
1:28:37
Speaker 26: He does, but that's a loaded team, bro. They're loaded.
1:28:40
Speaker 26: Put Brock Purdy on the Jets. You think he's winning
1:28:43
Speaker 26: every week?
1:28:43
Speaker 1: No, but Mahomes don't win on the Jets either.
1:28:45
Speaker 26: Well, I don't know about that. He'd make them a
1:28:47
Speaker 26: lot better.
1:28:48
Speaker 7: I think Purdy doesn't get the love he should get.
1:28:53
Speaker 1: That's all.
1:28:54
Speaker 26: But I agree with you about the Niners being the
1:28:56
Speaker 26: best team in the league. I 100% agree with that.
1:28:59
Speaker 26: You know, I do. And Seattle's not too far behind them.
1:29:02
Speaker 26: I know they're 3-2, but they lost a tough game
1:29:05
Speaker 26: last week. But right now... Yeah, I got to go
1:29:08
Speaker 26: with San Francisco, number one.
1:29:10
Speaker 7: Seattle actually plays tonight. We'll see if Sam Donald can
1:29:12
Speaker 7: continue that Super Bowl MVP last year.
1:29:15
Speaker 1: That's still a question.
1:29:16
Speaker 7: So are you shocked like I am? Because everybody said it.
1:29:20
Speaker 7: The reason why baseball is going to go on strike, lockout,
1:29:23
Speaker 7: whatever you call it, there's not going to be baseball
1:29:25
Speaker 7: for at least a couple of months. That's guaranteed. Maybe
1:29:28
Speaker 7: the whole season. That may be guaranteed, too. It's because
1:29:31
Speaker 7: of the Dodgers. Because the Dodgers have won the last
1:29:34
Speaker 7: two World Series. They keep bringing in $ 100 million talent.
1:29:37
Speaker 7: They find ways like Otani to defer payments. The Dodgers
1:29:41
Speaker 7: are ruining baseball.
1:29:42
Speaker 1: And yet, the Dodgers are a loss away tonight from
1:29:45
Speaker 1: being swept in the NLCS by a small market Milwaukee team.
1:29:51
Speaker 1: How about that?
1:29:52
Speaker 26: Yeah, no, I think it's great. I've had enough of
1:29:54
Speaker 26: the freaking Dodgers, bro. I really have. Look, it's not
1:29:56
Speaker 26: just the Dodgers. You know, it's everybody. I mean, come on.
1:29:59
Speaker 26: The Mets gave $ 50 million to Juan Soto as the
1:30:01
Speaker 26: most overrated player in baseball. I mean, let's be honest.
1:30:04
Speaker 26: And while we bring up baseball, I've got to say this, okay?
1:30:07
Speaker 26: Let's talk about the Yankees for a second.
1:30:09
Speaker 2: All right?
1:30:10
Speaker 26: Everybody gets on Aaron Boone, Cashman, all that. Evan won
1:30:12
Speaker 26: a series since 09. The biggest mistake the Yankees made...
1:30:16
Speaker 26: was not, you know, turning heaven and earth to keep Soto.
1:30:21
Speaker 26: They should have kept Soto. The one year they went
1:30:25
Speaker 26: to the World Series since 2009 was what? With Soto, okay?
1:30:28
Speaker 26: They actually went to the World Series, had him on
1:30:30
Speaker 26: the team. They should have kept him. and it would
1:30:32
Speaker 26: have benefited the Mets, too, because then the Mets would
1:30:34
Speaker 26: have re-signed Pete Alonso, and they'd be a better team
1:30:37
Speaker 26: without this guy, who was the most overrated freaking player
1:30:40
Speaker 26: in baseball. Let me say that. You're paying $ 50 million
1:30:43
Speaker 26: to this guy. You're paying– Bichette's getting– it's not just
1:30:46
Speaker 26: the Dodgers. Bichette's getting $ 40 million a year, but Bo
1:30:49
Speaker 26: Bichette is making $ 40 million a year. Think about that
1:30:51
Speaker 26: for a second. Talk about overrated.
1:30:53
Speaker 1: I mean, give me a break.
1:30:54
Speaker 26: I just don't want to blame the Dodgers. I can't
1:30:57
Speaker 26: stand them.
1:30:58
Speaker 1: Well, give me the Yankees.
1:31:00
Speaker 26: Let me just say this. They need a salary cap
1:31:02
Speaker 26: in baseball. There's no doubt about it.
1:31:04
Speaker 1: I agree. Well, what do the Yankees do, though?
1:31:06
Speaker 7: I mean, look, the last time the Yankees won a
1:31:08
Speaker 7: World Series was the year when my son was born.
1:31:11
Speaker 1: He's about to go to college.
1:31:12
Speaker 26: Okay?
1:31:12
Speaker 1: That was the year. I was young.
1:31:14
Speaker 26: I was almost good-looking. Not as good-looking as you.
1:31:16
Speaker 1: No, very handsome. No, you're very handsome.
1:31:19
Speaker 26: I mean, I was almost, you know.
1:31:21
Speaker 7: What are they going to do? Just go be happy
1:31:23
Speaker 7: every year now? Because when I was growing up, they
1:31:25
Speaker 7: had to win the World Series. Now if they win
1:31:27
Speaker 7: 95 games and make the playoffs, that's good enough?
1:31:30
Speaker 26: Well, I mean, for Hal Steinbrenner it is because Hal
1:31:32
Speaker 26: Steinbrenner is not his father. Hal Steinbrenner cares about making money.
1:31:36
Speaker 26: Let's be honest. The Yankees are the most lucrative team
1:31:39
Speaker 26: in the history of professional sports. They're worth billions of dollars.
1:31:43
Speaker 26: You know, they sell out the bill. Stop. You know what?
1:31:46
Speaker 26: Stop going to the games. Tell the Yankee fans, stop going.
1:31:50
Speaker 26: They sell out every week, right? Every game they sell out.
1:31:54
Speaker 26: Every game they sell out, bro. You know what? Because
1:31:57
Speaker 26: the illusion of a championship is always there. Because they're
1:32:00
Speaker 26: in the playoffs all the time. They're always a good team,
1:32:03
Speaker 26: but they're never good enough. And if this was George Steinbrenner,
1:32:08
Speaker 26: this wouldn't be it. He wouldn't stand for what's happening.
1:32:11
Speaker 26: He would have been gone a long time ago. Cashman
1:32:13
Speaker 26: would have been gone a long time ago. House Steinbrenner's
1:32:16
Speaker 26: into making money. The Yankee brand. And he's happy that
1:32:20
Speaker 26: they're a good team every year. And he's putting 50,000
1:32:23
Speaker 26: fans in his seats every game. And that's good enough
1:32:26
Speaker 26: for him. And that's the problem.
1:32:28
Speaker 1: I love going to Yankee games.
1:32:30
Speaker 26: But right?
1:32:31
Speaker 1: No, you're right. Listen, Steinbrenner got pissed when they made
1:32:35
Speaker 1: the World Series. Don't forget, 76, they got swept by
1:32:38
Speaker 1: the Reds. He was so embarrassed they got swept by
1:32:41
Speaker 1: the Big Red Machine. He went out and got Reggie
1:32:43
Speaker 1: Jackson and Bucky Dent and won the next two World Series.
1:32:46
Speaker 7: Tell me about the Knicks. I'll be in the building tonight.
1:32:49
Speaker 7: I'm actually going with Bruce Blakeman. James Dolan is having
1:32:52
Speaker 7: a fun way.
1:32:53
Speaker 26: Bruce Blakeman schooled, you know, Hochul the other day.
1:32:57
Speaker 1: Oh, what'd you think? What'd you think?
1:32:58
Speaker 26: I thought he was great. I mean, come on. I mean,
1:33:00
Speaker 26: he got all the ammunition. I mean, doesn't he? I mean,
1:33:03
Speaker 26: and he's still watching his dumb poll. By the way,
1:33:05
Speaker 26: can I say this about the polls? Do you ever
1:33:07
Speaker 26: see a poll where the Democrats aren't ahead? Is there
1:33:10
Speaker 26: ever a poll, Sid, where the Democrats are not in
1:33:13
Speaker 26: the lead?
1:33:14
Speaker 1: Never.
1:33:14
Speaker 26: Wake me up when that happens.
1:33:16
Speaker 1: It's true.
1:33:17
Speaker 18: Never, never.
1:33:18
Speaker 26: They're always ahead. The polls are the biggest BS that
1:33:21
Speaker 26: there is. Let's be real about it. The Republicans are
1:33:24
Speaker 26: going to do a lot better than people think in
1:33:26
Speaker 26: this upcoming election. In this upcoming midterm spot.
1:33:30
Speaker 1: From your mouth to God's ears.
1:33:32
Speaker 26: Okay, now let's go back. What were you asking?
1:33:34
Speaker 1: So Dolan, tonight's preseason game against the Raptors. So Dolan
1:33:39
Speaker 1: has invited Bruce. Bruce invited me. I'm going with him.
1:33:41
Speaker 26: $ 10, 000. He's having a big rally for Blakeman at the Garden,
1:33:44
Speaker 26: isn't he, Dolan?
1:33:45
Speaker 1: Today, tonight, I'm going.
1:33:46
Speaker 26: Okay.
1:33:47
Speaker 1: Me, Bruce, and Dolan. I was asking about the Knickerbockers
1:33:50
Speaker 1: because tonight is only preseason against the Raptors, but we're
1:33:54
Speaker 1: getting very close to the opening night, LeBron James and Philly.
1:33:57
Speaker 1: We're going to raise the banner that night. Are you
1:33:59
Speaker 1: getting excited about this Knick team this year?
1:34:02
Speaker 26: I will be excited when the playoffs start. Honestly. To me,
1:34:06
Speaker 26: the regular season doesn't really matter. They're going to make
1:34:09
Speaker 26: the playoffs. They're going to win their 50-plus games. The
1:34:11
Speaker 26: season starts in April, bro. That's it.
1:34:14
Speaker 2: Fair enough.
1:34:14
Speaker 26: And I'm not going to be sitting here. Remember last
1:34:16
Speaker 26: year when we lost nine out of ten games? Oh,
1:34:19
Speaker 26: my God. Mike Brown, get rid of this season. It's over. No, no, no.
1:34:24
Speaker 26: It's all BS. The NBA regular season is 82 games.
1:34:29
Speaker 26: It's really far too many. I will be very calm
1:34:33
Speaker 26: all year. Until the play. Then I'll get nervous when
1:34:37
Speaker 26: the playoff starts.
1:34:38
Speaker 1: Last one.
1:34:39
Speaker 7: Are you surprised that the Rangers got off to the
1:34:42
Speaker 7: start and keep winning games, even with Shusterkin, out for
1:34:45
Speaker 7: the year?
1:34:46
Speaker 26: Boy, I tell you, how about the Rangers, man? Six
1:34:48
Speaker 26: and two. They're playing terrific. No doubt this kid, the kid, Gerard,
1:34:52
Speaker 26: he's undefeated, bro. What is he, 3-0? He had a
1:34:55
Speaker 26: nice shutout last week, his first game. He's 3-0. Rangers
1:34:59
Speaker 26: look like a totally... Totally different team. Completely different baseball.
1:35:06
Speaker 26: Completely different hockey team. How about Lafayette? He's finally finding it, bro.
1:35:11
Speaker 26: He's got seven goals already this year. He had two
1:35:13
Speaker 26: goals the other night when he beat Tampa. He's had
1:35:17
Speaker 26: a hat trick earlier in the season. Maybe this guy
1:35:20
Speaker 26: who was the number one overall pick who has been
1:35:22
Speaker 26: a disappointment so far, maybe he's finally finding it. Got
1:35:26
Speaker 26: to love what the Rangers are doing. They play the
1:35:27
Speaker 26: Devils tonight in Jersey. Go kick their ass.
1:35:30
Speaker 7: You talked about Andy Reid and Kyle Shanahan. Mike Sullivan
1:35:33
Speaker 7: won Stanley Cup, so we got the right guy in place.
1:35:36
Speaker 26: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe Drury actually does know what he's doing.
1:35:39
Speaker 26: Maybe he's really not related to David Stearns. Maybe not.
1:35:44
Speaker 1: We will see. As always, Joe, you're magnificent. You really are.
1:35:48
Speaker 1: I love you. Great job this morning. Thank you so much, pal.
1:35:51
Speaker 26: God bless, bro. All the love, and I'll talk to
1:35:53
Speaker 26: you soon. God bless America.
1:35:54
Speaker 1: You too.
1:35:55
Speaker 7: That's the amazing Joe Beningo, WFAN legend, and now a
1:35:59
Speaker 7: weekly Sid Rosenberg.
1:36:01
Speaker 1: Contributor, and we are lucky to have him, really lucky.
1:36:03
Speaker 1: We'll take a break.
1:36:04
Speaker 7: Still lots more to do. Hank Shankoff, I met him
1:36:07
Speaker 7: for the first time at Russo's on the Bay last week.
1:36:09
Speaker 1: I love that guy. Alan Dershowitz.
1:36:12
Speaker 3: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
1:36:16
Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
1:36:18
Speaker 7: His Milwaukee Brewers may be going back to the World Series.
1:36:22
Speaker 7: So make sure you book Ron John tomorrow, okay?
1:36:25
Speaker 1: Okay, you got it. All right, thank you for that.
1:36:26
Speaker 7: You know, before I get to Alan Dershowitz, Bill O'Reilly,
1:36:31
Speaker 7: and Hank Shankoff, tonight, as I mentioned a couple of
1:36:35
Speaker 7: times already this morning, I'll be going with Bruce Blakeman,
1:36:39
Speaker 7: our next governor, to Madison Square Garden. The great Knicks owner,
1:36:43
Speaker 7: James Dolan, is putting on a big fundraiser for Bruce tonight.
1:36:47
Speaker 1: It's like $ 10, 000 a plate. So I'm going to go
1:36:50
Speaker 1: to the Garden. And I was talking to Lou. Now,
1:36:52
Speaker 1: the Knicks play tonight, but it's still preseason. Do you
1:36:56
Speaker 1: know the exact date of the regular season? Is that
1:36:59
Speaker 1: October 20th? I think it is. Next Tuesday night, the
1:37:04
Speaker 1: Knicks will raise the banner against LeBron James and the 76ers.
1:37:10
Speaker 1: It is Tuesday? Okay. So tonight is still preseason basketball,
1:37:14
Speaker 1: and the Knicks are taking on Toronto, and no one
1:37:17
Speaker 1: cares about the game. But, but, I'll be in the building.
1:37:19
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson, Cat, all those guys are going to be there.
1:37:23
Speaker 7: And I said to Lou, I said, what I'd like
1:37:25
Speaker 7: to do, if it's okay with Jim Dolan, I would
1:37:29
Speaker 7: like to address the.
1:37:30
Speaker 1: Team before the game tonight.
1:37:33
Speaker 7: Deliver some type of Newt Rockne awe-inspiring speech. I know
1:37:38
Speaker 7: it's preseason basketball. I know it's only foreplay. The good
1:37:42
Speaker 7: stuff is still coming. But still coming.
1:37:45
Speaker 1: See what I did? You got it. Thank you. Thank you.
1:37:47
Speaker 1: But I would like to speak to the team tonight
1:37:50
Speaker 1: at Madison Square Garden. Give them some uplifting words.
1:37:58
Speaker 25: There's just a couple of things you may need a
1:38:01
Speaker 25: reminder of. Just a slight. It's fine what you want
1:38:05
Speaker 25: to do. They just won the championship.
1:38:09
Speaker 1: That was last year. Who cares? It's a new season.
1:38:12
Speaker 25: It was a few months ago.
1:38:13
Speaker 1: But it's over.
1:38:14
Speaker 25: It's a new season.
1:38:16
Speaker 1: You think LeBron cares? You think Jason Tatum cares? Nobody cares.
1:38:21
Speaker 25: No, I'm talking about the team that you feel like
1:38:23
Speaker 25: you want to address.
1:38:25
Speaker 7: They need to maintain the same fire.
1:38:28
Speaker 25: Exactly. You're out of your mind. You really, you're out
1:38:33
Speaker 25: of your mind.
1:38:33
Speaker 3: Why?
1:38:34
Speaker 26: I mean.
1:38:34
Speaker 1: I want to remind them it's a new season.
1:38:38
Speaker 25: Okay, well that's good.
1:38:39
Speaker 1: What you did last year was great.
1:38:41
Speaker 25: That's good that you're the reminder.
1:38:42
Speaker 1: But you don't win this year because you won last year.
1:38:44
Speaker 1: You got to break your ass all over again. Like
1:38:46
Speaker 1: I do four hours a day every day right here.
1:38:48
Speaker 1: Do I go home at night every night and go, wow,
1:38:51
Speaker 1: that's the best show in America. Tomorrow I'll take the
1:38:53
Speaker 1: day off.
1:38:54
Speaker 4: No.
1:38:54
Speaker 25: No, you say it. The first part you do say.
1:38:58
Speaker 1: That is the best show in America?
1:38:59
Speaker 18: Yes.
1:39:02
Speaker 1: We say that to a lot of people.
1:39:03
Speaker 18: What makes you think that the Knicks are going to
1:39:05
Speaker 18: let you talk in their locker room? That's just never
1:39:07
Speaker 18: going to happen.
1:39:09
Speaker 1: Oh, I love that. See, I just love what he
1:39:11
Speaker 1: just did.
1:39:12
Speaker 18: That is not going to happen. I will put my
1:39:14
Speaker 18: money down, but they will not let you talk to
1:39:16
Speaker 18: the Knickerbockers.
1:39:17
Speaker 1: I can't wait for the Open tomorrow. How about you, Justin?
1:39:20
Speaker 1: You ready to end the Open with Nick talk, with
1:39:22
Speaker 1: sit in the locker room? You ready?
1:39:24
Speaker 23: Okay. Sure.
1:39:26
Speaker 1: When you say... I won't hold my breath. Whoa, whoa,
1:39:28
Speaker 1: wait a second.
1:39:29
Speaker 7: You would have said that President Trump would never invite
1:39:31
Speaker 7: me to the White House.
1:39:32
Speaker 18: Did I say that?
1:39:33
Speaker 1: Or President Trump would never invite me.
1:39:35
Speaker 18: I never said that.
1:39:35
Speaker 1: Or text me. Of course you would have said that.
1:39:37
Speaker 18: I never said that.
1:39:38
Speaker 1: No, you would have said that.
1:39:39
Speaker 18: But I am saying that the Knicks are never going
1:39:41
Speaker 18: to let you talk.
1:39:41
Speaker 1: Before the team. With all the things I've done, Trump, BB, Rubio,
1:39:44
Speaker 1: all these things, you're telling me that delivering a speech
1:39:48
Speaker 1: in the Knicks locker room is impossible?
1:39:50
Speaker 2: Yes.
1:39:51
Speaker 23: Okay.
1:39:51
Speaker 25: That one I almost have to leave.
1:39:53
Speaker 1: Okay. I like the challenge.
1:39:55
Speaker 18: Even a preseason talk they won't let you in for.
1:39:57
Speaker 23: Okay.
1:39:57
Speaker 18: Forget regular season.
1:39:58
Speaker 1: I like the challenge.
1:39:59
Speaker 18: I mean, I think you have.
1:40:01
Speaker 27: A better chance of Mom Donnie having you over for dinner.
1:40:05
Speaker 1: We'll see. You're really insane.
1:40:06
Speaker 23: We'll see.
1:40:07
Speaker 1: I got to run. I got great guests coming up.
1:40:09
Speaker 7: All I'm saying is, for all of you that have
1:40:11
Speaker 7: said time and time again, thousands of times, I said,
1:40:15
Speaker 7: now you've gone too far.
1:40:17
Speaker 1: And it always happens. Always happens. Be careful when you
1:40:22
Speaker 1: say I can't do something.
1:40:23
Speaker 27: Jalen, could you hold off on what you're going to
1:40:26
Speaker 27: say for a second? Sid Rosenberg would like to come
1:40:28
Speaker 27: in and address what's on the chalkboard right there.
1:40:35
Speaker 7: Corey is a seasoned ticket holder for the Knicks. And
1:40:38
Speaker 7: Corey says, and I quote, I love you. You're insane.
1:40:42
Speaker 23: Yeah.
1:40:42
Speaker 1: Okay.
1:40:42
Speaker 18: My wife just checked in.
1:40:47
Speaker 1: Her quote is, you're out of control.
1:40:48
Speaker 18: It seems I heard that.
1:40:51
Speaker 1: One from her. Oh, yeah, she's been wrong before about me, too.
1:40:54
Speaker 7: So, Corey and Danielle and all you naysayers, be ready
1:40:58
Speaker 7: for the tape tomorrow morning. When the Knicks beat the
1:41:01
Speaker 7: Raptors because of my speech.
1:41:03
Speaker 1: Hey, bring it in here.
1:41:04
Speaker 3: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
1:41:08
Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
1:41:10
Speaker 7: I sat next to this man inside the United Nations,
1:41:15
Speaker 7: and we watched together.
1:41:17
Speaker 1: It was awesome. Bibi Netanyahu delivered one of the greatest
1:41:22
Speaker 1: speeches I've ever heard or seen. It's my first time
1:41:27
Speaker 1: at the U.N., to be honest, but I've seen other speeches.
1:41:30
Speaker 7: And to be sitting outside on 46th Street with Dershowitz
1:41:34
Speaker 7: for about an hour, sitting next to him inside that building,
1:41:39
Speaker 7: just a huge honor.
1:41:40
Speaker 1: The greatest attorney ever. I know Joe Takapina is going
1:41:43
Speaker 1: to get upset, but Alan Dershowitz, what an honor. Great
1:41:47
Speaker 1: to have you back, buddy. How are you? Great.
1:41:50
Speaker 23: It was a great honor sitting.
1:41:51
Speaker 2: Next to you.
1:41:52
Speaker 23: I had another great honor last night, two nights ago.
1:41:55
Speaker 23: I was in England. I was invited to the Oxford Union,
1:41:58
Speaker 23: the oldest debate society in the world, to debate Israel.
1:42:03
Speaker 23: And never before had the Israeli side at the Oxford
1:42:06
Speaker 23: Union come out ahead. But I kicked the guy's ass.
1:42:10
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:42:10
Speaker 23: And everybody said we came out ahead. And I got
1:42:14
Speaker 23: a standing ovation from students at Oxford University for just
1:42:19
Speaker 23: telling the truth about Israel. I gave them facts. They
1:42:23
Speaker 23: had no idea. They didn't know that Israel ended the
1:42:27
Speaker 23: occupation of the Gaza Strip in 2000. They just didn't
1:42:30
Speaker 23: know those things. I told them those things, and they
1:42:33
Speaker 23: were shocked. You could see on their faces that this
1:42:36
Speaker 23: was the first time they were being told the truth
1:42:39
Speaker 23: about Israel, about Gaza, about genocide, about the Middle East,
1:42:43
Speaker 23: and all of that. It was a remarkable experience. I'm
1:42:46
Speaker 23: so glad. I was told to stay away. Friends of
1:42:48
Speaker 23: mine in England, including the head of a college, said,
1:42:51
Speaker 23: they're going to shout you down. They're going to scream
1:42:54
Speaker 23: at you. They're going to disrespect you. Nobody will listen
1:42:57
Speaker 23: to you. You won't change a single line. I thought
1:43:00
Speaker 23: about it. My wife and I decided, no, we're going
1:43:02
Speaker 23: to do it. We went over there and boy, it
1:43:04
Speaker 23: was really worth it. It'll be on YouTube soon. The
1:43:06
Speaker 23: whole debate will be on YouTube so anybody can see
1:43:08
Speaker 23: it and make their own judgments.
1:43:10
Speaker 1: Congratulations. That's great work, Alan. It really is.
1:43:12
Speaker 7: And it does give you hope. I mean, look, A
1:43:15
Speaker 7: lot of these college kids don't know any better. The mayor,
1:43:18
Speaker 7: he knows better, okay?
1:43:19
Speaker 1: He knows. He just hates us.
1:43:21
Speaker 7: He can yell and scream all he wants that Bruce
1:43:24
Speaker 7: Blakeman is a racist and Sid Rosenberg is a bigot.
1:43:29
Speaker 1: He can yell and scream that all he wants. He's
1:43:31
Speaker 1: the one. He hates Jewish people.
1:43:33
Speaker 7: But a lot of these college kids who have been
1:43:35
Speaker 7: indoctrinated and, quite frankly, brainwashed, if they knew better, like
1:43:40
Speaker 7: you just did in England, congratulations, they may feel differently.
1:43:44
Speaker 1: Bottom line.
1:43:45
Speaker 2: I would hope so.
1:43:46
Speaker 23: This was the first debate of the semester with a
1:43:48
Speaker 23: new group of students, a new group in the audience.
1:43:51
Speaker 23: And they came in with a more open mind. So
1:43:54
Speaker 23: I'm going to do more of this. I'm not giving
1:43:56
Speaker 23: up on trying to persuade open-minded people. Look, this next election...
1:44:02
Speaker 23: is a referendum between American democracy and American greatness on
1:44:07
Speaker 23: the one hand, and socialism, defeatism, Stalinism.
1:44:12
Speaker 2: On the other hand.
1:44:13
Speaker 23: And we may lose that referendum. We may lose in Michigan.
1:44:18
Speaker 23: We may lose in Maine. We may lose in other
1:44:22
Speaker 23: parts of the country. But let there be no mistake
1:44:26
Speaker 23: about it. This is a referendum about the future of America,
1:44:28
Speaker 23: which is why I quit the Democrats. I wrote a
1:44:30
Speaker 23: book about it called why I quit the Dems and
1:44:33
Speaker 23: you should too, and why everybody who cares about America,
1:44:36
Speaker 23: whether you're Jewish or not Jewish, whether you like Rosenberg, Dershowitz, whatever,
1:44:40
Speaker 23: if you love America as we do, you quit the
1:44:43
Speaker 23: Democratic Party. You don't let them win this referendum, which
1:44:48
Speaker 23: is about America's future.
1:44:50
Speaker 1: Just made my heart warm to hear you say we.
1:44:53
Speaker 1: You know, how many years, Alan, I tried to make
1:44:55
Speaker 1: you say we about the Republicans, and you just said we,
1:44:58
Speaker 1: talking about the Republicans. But let me ask about these races,
1:45:01
Speaker 1: because it depends who you talk to. So, when I
1:45:04
Speaker 1: talk to Mike Lawler, for example, he's a Republican, he's running,
1:45:07
Speaker 1: he thinks we're going to win. And then I talk
1:45:09
Speaker 1: to other folks, they're like, Republicans. They go, no, no,
1:45:12
Speaker 1: we're going to get clobbered. Bill Maher and Chris Cuomo
1:45:15
Speaker 1: last night, the Republicans are going to get clobbered. What
1:45:17
Speaker 1: do you think happens in less than three weeks?
1:45:20
Speaker 23: Well, I think the Democrats win the House of Representatives,
1:45:22
Speaker 23: which means that Ilhan Omar and her gang take over
1:45:28
Speaker 23: House chairmanships. They become chairman of committees. AOC becomes the
1:45:32
Speaker 23: chairman of a committee. We, the Republicans, lose the House.
1:45:37
Speaker 23: But I think we have a good chance of retaining
1:45:39
Speaker 23: the Senate. That will make an enormous amount of difference.
1:45:43
Speaker 1: But if we lose the House, you go from Mike
1:45:46
Speaker 1: Johnson to Hakeem Jeffries?
1:45:49
Speaker 23: Yeah, and worse, much worse. Jeffries is the best of
1:45:53
Speaker 23: a bad group. You go from what we have now
1:45:57
Speaker 23: to Ilhan Omar. We go to the squad. We go
1:46:01
Speaker 23: to Liz Warren.
1:46:04
Speaker 24: One of the most.
1:46:04
Speaker 23: anti-Israel people ever to sit on the Senate, and anti-American,
1:46:08
Speaker 23: and anti-free economy. My colleague for 25 years at Harvard,
1:46:13
Speaker 23: who's doing more harm to America than any woman in
1:46:17
Speaker 23: modern times. And that's what we go from. It's not
1:46:20
Speaker 23: only from the leadership, it's what happens with committee chairman
1:46:23
Speaker 23: and how they'll use their powers to try to all
1:46:27
Speaker 23: every Republican or every supporter of Republican. You, me will
1:46:31
Speaker 23: be hauled in front of Congress. I don't mind it
1:46:34
Speaker 23: because I have nothing to hide and I'm happy to
1:46:36
Speaker 23: make my point in front of Congress, but that's, what's
1:46:39
Speaker 23: going to happen to Congress if we lose the House
1:46:41
Speaker 23: of Representatives. But the, the, the data, the polling is very,
1:46:46
Speaker 23: very pessimistic on that one on the Senate. It's very close,
1:46:51
Speaker 23: and I think Americans will retain their sense and not
1:46:55
Speaker 23: put people like El-Said into the Senate. Remember, the Senate
1:46:59
Speaker 23: was designed by James Madison and the framers of the
1:47:02
Speaker 23: Constitution as a kind of check on the extreme democracy
1:47:06
Speaker 23: of the House of Representatives. Two senators from each state,
1:47:10
Speaker 23: originally selected by the state legislature, now, of course, selected
1:47:13
Speaker 23: by the public. But the Senate has a real role
1:47:17
Speaker 23: in checking, as does the Supreme Court, which the radicals
1:47:20
Speaker 23: and the Democrats want to abolish. They want to abolish
1:47:23
Speaker 23: the Supreme Court as it currently exists, the Electoral College,
1:47:27
Speaker 23: the Senate, you name it. They want to turn America
1:47:30
Speaker 23: into France. I was recently in France, and there were
1:47:34
Speaker 23: riots in the street. And when we framed our Constitution,
1:47:38
Speaker 23: the last thing we wanted was a French democracy, Robespierre
1:47:41
Speaker 23: and people cutting people's heads off. We wanted a system
1:47:44
Speaker 23: of checks and balances, and we got it. And now
1:47:47
Speaker 23: the Democrats are trying to abolish what we've had for
1:47:49
Speaker 23: 200 years, and that's a danger to America.
1:47:53
Speaker 1: Disaster. I'm watching Michelle Tafoya, that great Monday Night Football
1:47:57
Speaker 1: sideline reporter.
1:47:59
Speaker 7: She's on TV right now in a diner in Minnesota
1:48:02
Speaker 7: talking to some of the folks there. She's trailing in
1:48:05
Speaker 7: her Senate race right now, but who knows. You know,
1:48:07
Speaker 7: you mentioned Elon Omar talking about Minnesota. There we go,
1:48:10
Speaker 7: same state. And look, the DOJ does not make a
1:48:14
Speaker 7: practice of raiding somebody's home unless they really think they
1:48:18
Speaker 7: got him. For example, John Bolton, he's probably going to
1:48:22
Speaker 7: do some jail time.
1:48:23
Speaker 24: Okay.
1:48:24
Speaker 7: So when they raid Omar's home, people like me who
1:48:27
Speaker 7: despise her. who hate her, I'm happy because I feel
1:48:31
Speaker 7: like they got a lot there and they're still looking
1:48:34
Speaker 7: for more.
1:48:34
Speaker 1: But I guess, Alan, you're the attorney.
1:48:37
Speaker 7: Does it come down to age when in fact she
1:48:41
Speaker 7: became a citizen? Because if the age is wrong, she
1:48:46
Speaker 7: lied about that, then could she be deported? What is
1:48:49
Speaker 7: the Elon Omar story?
1:48:52
Speaker 23: She can be deported. First of all, I hope John
1:48:54
Speaker 23: Bolton doesn't go to jail. What he did, so many
1:48:56
Speaker 23: other people have done, and John is a great man
1:48:58
Speaker 23: and a great defender of America, a great defender of Israel,
1:49:02
Speaker 23: and I'm a big supporter of John. So although he
1:49:05
Speaker 23: pleaded guilty, I hope he does not have jail time.
1:49:08
Speaker 23: That would not be right, considering his amazing career that he's.
1:49:11
Speaker 2: Had over the years.
1:49:12
Speaker 23: I hope Ilana Romero goes to jail. If she lied
1:49:16
Speaker 23: about her status, her marital status, if she lied about
1:49:20
Speaker 23: Her age, if she deliberately put back her age or
1:49:24
Speaker 23: put it forward in order to get a benefit that
1:49:26
Speaker 23: she would otherwise not have gotten, there may be a
1:49:28
Speaker 23: statute of limitations on the criminal case, but there's no
1:49:31
Speaker 23: statute of limitations on the deportation case. And she could
1:49:34
Speaker 23: be deported back to wherever she's from. Somalia. Yeah, and
1:49:39
Speaker 23: if she states some of the same positions in Somalia
1:49:43
Speaker 23: that she stated here, she'll be executed. they won't tolerate
1:49:47
Speaker 23: her talking about gay rights and women's rights and other
1:49:50
Speaker 23: rights in Somalia. So for her own sake, she better
1:49:55
Speaker 23: not be guilty. But I agree with you. I don't
1:49:57
Speaker 23: think judges, this is a D.C. judge, give out search
1:50:01
Speaker 23: warrants against a sitting member of Congress for their home
1:50:05
Speaker 23: in Washington, D.C., unless there's probable cause for that there's
1:50:10
Speaker 23: evidence of a crime in the House. And so I'm
1:50:13
Speaker 23: hoping that there is evidence of serious crimes in the House.
1:50:16
Speaker 23: Because she's a despicable person who should not be in
1:50:19
Speaker 23: Congress and should not be in the United States. She
1:50:21
Speaker 23: represents the worst of immigration in a country that was
1:50:25
Speaker 23: built on great immigrants like your parents, my parents, great-grandparents,
1:50:28
Speaker 23: others who love America. I just came back from Sicily,
1:50:32
Speaker 23: where there are so many Sicilian Americans who have done
1:50:35
Speaker 23: so much. And yet, of course, Mamdami won't celebrate Columbus
1:50:39
Speaker 23: Day and... Columbus was this racist, terrible person. If not
1:50:43
Speaker 23: for Columbus, none of us would be here today. So,
1:50:46
Speaker 23: you know, we live in a very, very dangerous time.
1:50:50
Speaker 24: We do.
1:50:50
Speaker 23: And everybody should get out and vote against the Democrats.
1:50:53
Speaker 23: That's so crucial to make sure they do not gain
1:50:56
Speaker 23: control either of the House or the Senate.
1:50:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, here's Oscar Belgal, okay, and you can
1:51:00
Speaker 1: argue all day about whether or not I should have
1:51:02
Speaker 1: fired in that car. The truth is, he put the
1:51:04
Speaker 1: kid in the car, like Hamas does with... human shields
1:51:07
Speaker 1: in hospitals and kindergartens because he figured, okay, they're not
1:51:11
Speaker 1: going to bother me. He knew they were after him, Ice.
1:51:14
Speaker 1: He knew the federal authorities were after him. Why would
1:51:15
Speaker 1: you put a five-year-old in the car? It's not like
1:51:17
Speaker 1: he drove his kid to school every day. He's a
1:51:19
Speaker 1: gang-banging drug dealer, this guy, okay? But why the mayor
1:51:24
Speaker 1: would want to put this guy back on the streets
1:51:26
Speaker 1: and go as far as calling President Trump and Mark
1:51:29
Speaker 1: Wayne Mullen?
1:51:30
Speaker 7: And he did that, mind you, the same day he
1:51:33
Speaker 7: defended Elon Omar on Twitter. This is a terrible guy.
1:51:38
Speaker 23: It is. And remember, also, we have members of Congress now,
1:51:43
Speaker 23: people running for Congress. who want to get rid of
1:51:45
Speaker 23: the only decent person in the city of New York
1:51:49
Speaker 23: in a high position of authority, Jessica Tisch, my former
1:51:52
Speaker 23: student and research assistant, who is a police commissioner doing
1:51:56
Speaker 23: a fantastic job. You have people running for Congress who
1:51:59
Speaker 23: want to see her fired. And there's pressure on Mamdani
1:52:02
Speaker 23: to fire her. You know, the fact that she's Jewish
1:52:06
Speaker 23: and a Zionist probably doesn't help her standing with Mamdani.
1:52:10
Speaker 23: But so far, he has not been willing to fire
1:52:13
Speaker 23: her because He knows that she is the strongest person
1:52:16
Speaker 23: in his administration, the only person who could probably defeat
1:52:19
Speaker 23: him in a one-on-one election in a couple of years
1:52:22
Speaker 23: from now. So keep an eye on her.
1:52:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, that may happen. It wouldn't surprise me if she
1:52:26
Speaker 1: ran for mayor. A lot of names out there, a
1:52:27
Speaker 1: lot of people. It would not surprise me if she
1:52:29
Speaker 1: decided to run for mayor. But we'll see. You know,
1:52:31
Speaker 1: one more. Talking about deportations. This guy now comes out
1:52:35
Speaker 1: and he's got a lot of balls. I hate to
1:52:37
Speaker 1: use that word, Alan, but he does.
1:52:38
Speaker 7: He feels like he's won. He's doing interviews where he's
1:52:41
Speaker 7: the victim. And I got to tell you this, Alan.
1:52:44
Speaker 7: The New York media are pathetic. Melissa Russo, NBC, she's Jewish.
1:52:50
Speaker 7: She's scared to death to say anything bad about the mayor.
1:52:53
Speaker 7: Even Marsha Kramer, she's a pro. CBS, she does the
1:52:57
Speaker 7: same nonsense.
1:52:58
Speaker 1: All of them. Now you get this Mahmoud Khalil. He's
1:53:01
Speaker 1: out there doing interviews that he's the victim. Nobody stops him.
1:53:06
Speaker 1: Nobody says, yeah, but... And it seems like he may
1:53:10
Speaker 1: have won. Is that true?
1:53:11
Speaker 23: No, I don't think so. I think he's going to
1:53:13
Speaker 23: end up being deported. But, you know, it'll take time.
1:53:15
Speaker 23: And people are rooting for him. People are cheering for him.
1:53:18
Speaker 23: You talk about the Jewish New York media. I mean,
1:53:21
Speaker 23: there's nothing worse than the kind of self-hating Jews we
1:53:24
Speaker 23: see in so many parts of the media. You didn't
1:53:26
Speaker 23: like to use the word. I'll use a slightly different word.
1:53:29
Speaker 23: But they're testically challenged. They don't have it down there.
1:53:33
Speaker 23: They don't have the ability to stand up for what's
1:53:36
Speaker 23: right because they know that they'll lose their jobs and
1:53:38
Speaker 23: they'll lose their following. Today, if you want to be
1:53:41
Speaker 23: a success in the media, you have to be overtly anti-Israel,
1:53:44
Speaker 23: overtly anti-American, overtly anti-Republican, overtly anti-Trump. And then maybe you
1:53:49
Speaker 23: can make it in the media. But if If you
1:53:51
Speaker 23: compromise on any of those antis, your career is cooked.
1:53:55
Speaker 23: You're not going to get on Saturday Night Live.
1:53:57
Speaker 24: You're not going to be able.
1:53:58
Speaker 23: To write an op-ed. You know, I used to be
1:54:01
Speaker 23: the most frequent op-ed writer for The New York Times,
1:54:03
Speaker 23: the most frequent lawyer who ever wrote op-eds for The
1:54:06
Speaker 23: New York Times. They won't publish my op-ed today. You
1:54:09
Speaker 23: can't buy my book today, Why I Left the Dems
1:54:12
Speaker 23: and So Should You. You cannot go to an independent
1:54:15
Speaker 23: bookstore and buy that book. Independent bookstores won't sell a
1:54:19
Speaker 23: book that is perceived of as pro-Trump, anti-Democrat. If you
1:54:23
Speaker 23: want to get my book, you've got to get it
1:54:25
Speaker 23: on Amazon.com. That's the tragedy. This is supposed to be
1:54:27
Speaker 23: free speech. These bookstores proclaim themselves as protectors of free speech,
1:54:32
Speaker 23: and they won't publish my book. They wouldn't publish your book.
1:54:35
Speaker 23: Even if it was the number one bestseller, they wouldn't
1:54:37
Speaker 23: publish your book. You'd have to get it online. Independent
1:54:40
Speaker 23: bookstores no longer sell books that they disagree with.
1:54:44
Speaker 1: Well, in New York City, I can go to Barnes
1:54:46
Speaker 1: & Noble and Boca, and my book is right there
1:54:48
Speaker 1: on the shelf.
1:54:48
Speaker 23: Oh, of course. Boca is so different. Everything is different
1:54:53
Speaker 23: in Boca.
1:54:53
Speaker 24: You can wear a keypad Boca.
1:54:55
Speaker 23: You can wear a sign saying I'm a proud Zionist
1:54:58
Speaker 23: and people will come up and congratulate you.
1:54:59
Speaker 1: So the question then is, so the question is, Alan,
1:55:02
Speaker 1: what the hell are we doing here?
1:55:03
Speaker 24: Yeah, well, we have to fight the fight. What was
1:55:06
Speaker 24: I doing at Oxford?
1:55:07
Speaker 23: Fighting back, we got to fight. Look, I'm young. I'm
1:55:10
Speaker 23: only 88 years old.
1:55:11
Speaker 1: God bless you.
1:55:12
Speaker 23: Hopefully, I've still got a few good years of fighting
1:55:15
Speaker 23: left in me, and I'm going to use those years
1:55:17
Speaker 23: to go to not only Oxford and Cambridge, but if
1:55:19
Speaker 23: Harvard would invite.
1:55:20
Speaker 24: Me, I'd go back there.
1:55:22
Speaker 23: I've been a professor at Harvard for 62 years. They
1:55:25
Speaker 23: won't invite me back to talk about Israel because they
1:55:27
Speaker 23: don't want to hear what I have to say.
1:55:29
Speaker 1: God bless you, Alan Dershowitz. I love you so much.
1:55:32
Speaker 1: I really do. You're an amazing man, brilliant and kind hearted.
1:55:36
Speaker 1: And I love having you on this show. You're a
1:55:38
Speaker 1: huge asset to my show. Thank you so much.
1:55:40
Speaker 23: Well, you're a huge asset to the world and to
1:55:43
Speaker 23: all the things that we stand for and keep fighting
1:55:45
Speaker 23: for justice for America and for Israel.
1:55:47
Speaker 1: You too. Keep it up. Great job in Oxford. I
1:55:49
Speaker 1: love you.
1:55:50
Speaker 2: Thank you.
1:55:51
Speaker 7: Alan Dershowitz right there on Sid and Friends in the Morning.
1:55:53
Speaker 7: Just truly one of the great men God ever created.
1:55:56
Speaker 7: We got three great men in a row. You know,
1:55:57
Speaker 7: from Alan Dershowitz to Bill O'Reilly to Hank Sheinkopf. The man,
1:56:01
Speaker 7: the legend. Biggest ratings on WABC all week long.
1:56:05
Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
1:56:09
Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
1:56:11
Speaker 7: Great interviews, great stories. It's just great television. Talking about TV,
1:56:15
Speaker 7: what he does every week.
1:56:16
Speaker 1: He actually finds a way to make Chris Cuomo famous. watchable.
1:56:20
Speaker 1: That's not easy. Bill Maher tried it last night. Good
1:56:22
Speaker 1: luck with that. He's a brilliant author.
1:56:25
Speaker 7: He's got books all over the place, killing series and
1:56:28
Speaker 7: confronting books. He confronts presidents. He confronts evil. Now he's
1:56:31
Speaker 7: confronting America. That book is doing great. And he's got
1:56:35
Speaker 7: the podcast.
1:56:36
Speaker 1: We'll do it live. Going back to his days on,
1:56:39
Speaker 1: I guess, Inside Edition, right? That was the one. Bill O'Reilly,
1:56:43
Speaker 1: the best ever. Bill, good morning, buddy. How are you?
1:56:46
Speaker 24: Thank you for that nice lead in. I'm okay. We
1:56:50
Speaker 24: got Stephen A. Smith on the We'll Do It Live.
1:56:54
Speaker 1: Oh, love that.
1:56:54
Speaker 24: Long form.
1:56:55
Speaker 1: Love it. Did you do it yet? By the way,
1:56:58
Speaker 1: did you do that yet? Or are you first doing it?
1:57:01
Speaker 24: No, we taped it Tuesday. It drops today.
1:57:04
Speaker 1: Awesome.
1:57:06
Speaker 24: Boy, it's worth watching. It is worth watching.
1:57:09
Speaker 1: Well, you guys, look, you're both great anyway. You really are.
1:57:12
Speaker 7: And you've got the relationship because the two of you
1:57:15
Speaker 7: often appear together with Chris Cuomo.
1:57:18
Speaker 1: So you guys are good to go.
1:57:20
Speaker 24: Yeah, but, you know, you can bounce around with Stephen A.
1:57:25
Speaker 24: between sports and politics. But I want to get his story, too,
1:57:32
Speaker 24: which we were able to pry out of him. But
1:57:36
Speaker 24: the big thing in this is that in confronting America,
1:57:39
Speaker 24: what has to change? One of the most provocative chapters
1:57:45
Speaker 24: is my saga to try to help Barack Obama in
1:57:49
Speaker 24: the mentoring program called Brothers Keeper. And a very famous
1:57:55
Speaker 24: person killed it. the program. I had it. I had it.
1:58:04
Speaker 24: And it would have raised more than a billion dollars
1:58:07
Speaker 24: for kids at risk. And I basically started off with
1:58:11
Speaker 24: Stephen A. going, is a white guy like me, okay,
1:58:17
Speaker 24: raised in Leavittown, which is segregated back then because the
1:58:20
Speaker 24: Leavitt brothers wouldn't sell to blacks.
1:58:23
Speaker 2: Am I.
1:58:24
Speaker 24: or can I help the African-American community? Will that be accepted?
1:58:31
Speaker 24: And that discussion is very interesting.
1:58:33
Speaker 1: That sounds great.
1:58:35
Speaker 24: You go to BillO'Reilly.com. We made it. If I can
1:58:38
Speaker 24: get on the damn thing, anybody can. It's easy.
1:58:41
Speaker 1: It's easy. No, it's easy. See, occasionally I have differences
1:58:45
Speaker 1: with Steve. I love the guy, too. He's on this
1:58:47
Speaker 1: show all the time. You know that. You've heard him here.
1:58:49
Speaker 24: But that's good.
1:58:49
Speaker 26: No, I love him.
1:58:50
Speaker 1: But occasionally.
1:58:53
Speaker 7: In his enthusiasm, and I do the same thing with
1:58:56
Speaker 7: the Jews, okay?
1:58:57
Speaker 1: I do. But in his enthusiasm to support African Americans,
1:59:02
Speaker 1: he interviews and says nice things about people that are
1:59:06
Speaker 1: terrible people, that are racist. Joy Reid, for example. Who's
1:59:10
Speaker 1: the other one? Jemele Hill.
1:59:13
Speaker 7: All Jemele Hill did on ESPN for years was badmouth
1:59:16
Speaker 7: white people and protect black people.
1:59:18
Speaker 1: And I'm saying, Stephen A., you've got to be better
1:59:21
Speaker 1: than that. I'm sorry.
1:59:23
Speaker 24: Well, look, that's what makes America robust, and all of
1:59:29
Speaker 24: that discussion is a positive. What we have now, and
1:59:34
Speaker 24: who pointed it out earlier on the program? Oh, Dershowitz
1:59:38
Speaker 24: just pointed it out.
1:59:39
Speaker 2: Censorship.
1:59:40
Speaker 24: You've got censorship across the board. So, you know, I'm
1:59:45
Speaker 24: promoting this book, Confirming America, and I'm getting my bookings read.
1:59:51
Speaker 24: you know, up to my eyebrows. But I can't get
1:59:54
Speaker 24: on the networks. They will not book me because I'm
1:59:57
Speaker 24: not a Trump hater. It's as simple as that.
1:59:59
Speaker 1: The view, too. You can't get on The View either.
2:00:03
Speaker 24: No, and I was on all of those shows. You'll
2:00:06
Speaker 24: remember when I was doing a Fox gig, that wasn't
2:00:10
Speaker 24: a problem. But once Trump came in and I said
2:00:14
Speaker 24: to my audience, look, I know the guy 35 years.
2:00:17
Speaker 24: I'm going to be fair to him. Okay, I'm sorry.
2:00:22
Speaker 24: I'm going to be fair. I'm going to try to
2:00:24
Speaker 24: explain what he does, why he does it, and then
2:00:28
Speaker 24: you can make a decision. That's my job. That's what
2:00:31
Speaker 24: I do. Well, as soon as you say that, you
2:00:35
Speaker 24: are disqualified from going on CNN. or any of the networks.
2:00:43
Speaker 24: You can't get on there.
2:00:44
Speaker 1: Which is ridiculous for you because, I admit this, okay,
2:00:48
Speaker 1: I'm a sycophant. Now, now, lately....
2:00:51
Speaker 7: I find myself criticizing Trump a lot. When I say lately,
2:00:54
Speaker 7: I mean for months. The Iran stuff I criticize him for.
2:00:57
Speaker 7: I don't like this new press secretary, okay? He should
2:01:00
Speaker 7: have hired my friend Liz Pimko. But almost every week,
2:01:04
Speaker 7: there's something I don't love about Trump. I still love him.
2:01:08
Speaker 7: Love him to pieces. Think he's a phenomenal president. But
2:01:11
Speaker 7: I am critical.
2:01:12
Speaker 1: But I'm still a sycophant.
2:01:14
Speaker 2: You.
2:01:14
Speaker 7: You, in all fairness, and you get along well with
2:01:17
Speaker 7: President Trump. He loves and respects you. You're top on him.
2:01:21
Speaker 7: And you were that way back in 2016. That's when
2:01:23
Speaker 7: I fell in love with you.
2:01:25
Speaker 24: Well, that's my job. I mean, I'm not a flack.
2:01:29
Speaker 24: You can't hire me to be in your pocket. And
2:01:35
Speaker 24: that's why I've been successful for more than 50 years
2:01:39
Speaker 24: in the media. And I've had to leave jobs. I've
2:01:42
Speaker 24: had to walk out of work. I have a great
2:01:46
Speaker 24: story in Confirming America about me and Dan Rather.
2:01:51
Speaker 23: Eye to eye.
2:01:55
Speaker 24: And I couldn't stay there with what he was doing
2:02:00
Speaker 24: and his acolytes. But now we're at a level never
2:02:08
Speaker 24: seen in my lifetime. Vietnam was rough. Rough. This is worse.
2:02:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, but this is worse. I'll tell you why, though,
2:02:16
Speaker 1: and then you'll make your points, and you're much smarter
2:02:19
Speaker 1: and a lot more. Vietnam was terrible, Nixon.
2:02:21
Speaker 13: All that.
2:02:23
Speaker 1: But the reason why all this has gotten exponentially worse
2:02:28
Speaker 1: is two words, social media.
2:02:33
Speaker 24: Yeah, I don't disagree with that because there's so much
2:02:37
Speaker 24: propaganda around on the computer and phone, and people don't
2:02:42
Speaker 24: have the time to run it all down. And your
2:02:46
Speaker 24: point dovetails right into my point. So you got Benigno
2:02:50
Speaker 24: on earlier in Sid and Friends. I think you had
2:02:55
Speaker 24: all of your friends on today, all six of them. Anyway,
2:03:00
Speaker 24: Benigno says the polling is bogus. OK, and that the
2:03:08
Speaker 24: networks and the cable, the anti-Trump cables are always going
2:03:13
Speaker 24: to spin the poll so that their people, the Democratic Party,
2:03:18
Speaker 24: their allies now look better. Let me just give you
2:03:22
Speaker 24: a stark example. There's an outfit called the Cook Report.
2:03:29
Speaker 24: And they came out this week and said the 65
2:03:33
Speaker 24: percent chance. of the Democrats taking Congress, both houses. And
2:03:40
Speaker 24: I'm going, that's pretty risky. Let's track that down. So
2:03:47
Speaker 24: when Trump was elected in 2024, the Cook Report couldn't
2:03:53
Speaker 24: have been more wrong. They got everything wrong.
2:03:59
Speaker 2: Everything.
2:04:01
Speaker 23: Okay?
2:04:01
Speaker 1: Yeah.
2:04:02
Speaker 24: So they made a New York Jets coach, and there's
2:04:07
Speaker 24: 50 of them, all right, look like geniuses, look like
2:04:11
Speaker 24: Vince Lombardi, all right?
2:04:14
Speaker 1: Yeah.
2:04:15
Speaker 24: And nobody mentions, well, maybe the Cook Report got some
2:04:19
Speaker 24: problems in there. I have to go to Brazil to
2:04:24
Speaker 24: get an honest pollster to use on the no-spin news
2:04:29
Speaker 24: on my– on my newscast. I have to go all
2:04:34
Speaker 24: the way to Brazil.
2:04:35
Speaker 1: Is that true?
2:04:36
Speaker 24: Yeah. I can't use any of the American polling.
2:04:41
Speaker 1: Oh, no, you could use one. No, you could use one.
2:04:43
Speaker 1: I know you love them, too. John McLaughlin.
2:04:46
Speaker 24: I knew you were going to say that. But he's
2:04:49
Speaker 24: polling for a political party, the Republicans. So he's not objective.
2:04:59
Speaker 24: I can't get into the Democrats have their pollsters. John
2:05:04
Speaker 24: has been accurate. Let's give John his due.
2:05:07
Speaker 1: And Jim is both great, yes.
2:05:09
Speaker 2: Right.
2:05:09
Speaker 24: Okay, so if John puts out a poll, I read it.
2:05:14
Speaker 24: But John's working for Republicans. I want somebody who's not
2:05:17
Speaker 24: working for anybody who's just going to get the data.
2:05:22
Speaker 24: But the data is almost impossible to get now. Because
2:05:26
Speaker 24: people don't answer the telephone in their homes. They are
2:05:30
Speaker 24: on the computer, on the cell phones. If your number
2:05:34
Speaker 24: comes up on the cell phone and you don't know
2:05:36
Speaker 24: the number, you don't answer it.
2:05:38
Speaker 1: That's correct.
2:05:38
Speaker 24: Is that correct?
2:05:39
Speaker 1: Yes.
2:05:41
Speaker 24: Okay, so how can you poll?
2:05:42
Speaker 26: What are you doing?
2:05:44
Speaker 24: No one's answering.
2:05:46
Speaker 1: Oh, God, it's true. The number pops up. I don't
2:05:49
Speaker 1: know it. I don't pick it up.
2:05:52
Speaker 24: You'd have to be insane.
2:05:53
Speaker 26: Right.
2:05:55
Speaker 1: To pick it up.
2:05:57
Speaker 24: It might be some guy from Kazakhstan trying to drain
2:06:01
Speaker 24: your bank account.
2:06:02
Speaker 1: Hey, listen, that happens a lot.
2:06:04
Speaker 7: And these elderly people, to your point, they do pick up,
2:06:08
Speaker 7: and they rob them of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
2:06:10
Speaker 1: They do it every time. But what you're saying then, Bill,
2:06:13
Speaker 1: this is important, because we are 19 days away from
2:06:16
Speaker 1: the midterm elections. And I speak to Republicans and Democrats.
2:06:21
Speaker 1: This is both, not just Democrats. And their prediction for
2:06:26
Speaker 1: Election Day for the Republicans in the House is pain.
2:06:31
Speaker 1: What you're saying is, well, how do we really know?
2:06:34
Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying?
2:06:36
Speaker 24: Well, I'm saying that the data used to back that
2:06:41
Speaker 24: up is faulty. So I don't want to get on Mr.
2:06:44
Speaker 24: T's wrong side with the pain thing. All right? That
2:06:50
Speaker 24: was in Rocky III or.
2:06:51
Speaker 23: IV, I believe.
2:06:51
Speaker 1: Rocky III. Rocky III. Very good.
2:06:53
Speaker 24: Clubber Lang.
2:06:54
Speaker 1: Yes.
2:06:55
Speaker 25: Very good.
2:06:56
Speaker 1: Very good.
2:06:58
Speaker 24: I'm saying that the data that's being put out by
2:07:01
Speaker 24: the media is faulty. And let me give you the
2:07:04
Speaker 24: best example I could possibly give WABC listeners around the
2:07:09
Speaker 24: country and in New York City. The main reason that
2:07:14
Speaker 24: the Republicans and President Trump are not polling well and
2:07:18
Speaker 24: are unpopular in some precincts is the Iranian war. And
2:07:23
Speaker 24: you and I discussed this when it first happened. And
2:07:27
Speaker 24: I said to you, as I've said to my audience,
2:07:30
Speaker 24: biggest gamble of Trump's life. Because I know the region.
2:07:35
Speaker 24: Been to the region. I know how this plays. All right.
2:07:40
Speaker 24: They'll tell you one thing and then they're going to
2:07:43
Speaker 24: steal everything in your tent. OK, generalizing. But this is
2:07:49
Speaker 24: what the culture is. You're not going to get anything
2:07:53
Speaker 24: solid out of these people. So the American voter, according
2:07:59
Speaker 24: to Garland, statistics released this week, is paying $ 2, 000 more
2:08:07
Speaker 24: per household than it did this time last year for energy.
2:08:12
Speaker 23: $ 2, 000 more.
2:08:16
Speaker 24: And my question is a very simple one, because you
2:08:19
Speaker 24: know I'm a simple man.
2:08:20
Speaker 26: All right.
2:08:21
Speaker 24: Is it worth, and if you're a New Yorker, this
2:08:24
Speaker 24: is on steroids.
2:08:25
Speaker 2: Right.
2:08:26
Speaker 24: Is it worth the $ 2, 000? What the deuce do you
2:08:30
Speaker 24: think is going to happen? If the Democratic Party and
2:08:34
Speaker 24: the radical left seize power, do you not understand? They're
2:08:39
Speaker 24: going to raise your taxes so high, you'll be lucky
2:08:43
Speaker 24: if you have a covered wagon in the driveway.
2:08:46
Speaker 23: It's true.
2:08:47
Speaker 24: Okay?
2:08:48
Speaker 28: Yeah.
2:08:48
Speaker 24: And you're bitching about $ 2, 000.
2:08:52
Speaker 1: Well, that's just energy. Well, wait a second. That's just energy.
2:08:54
Speaker 1: You got gas prices are up.
2:08:57
Speaker 24: But that's the driver. OK, if you didn't have the
2:09:01
Speaker 24: 2000 in energy, people would be grousing about food and
2:09:07
Speaker 24: the food would be less because the trucks and the
2:09:09
Speaker 24: transportation jacked the prices up of the food. But if
2:09:13
Speaker 24: Trump had not gone into Iran, the Republicans would be
2:09:18
Speaker 24: well ahead because who wants to vote for Cala Rico?
2:09:23
Speaker 1: Right. Or El Sayed for that. But I will say this.
2:09:27
Speaker 1: When I get into conversations with Republicans and Democrats, I go, listen,
2:09:30
Speaker 1: he did this because he wanted to make sure that
2:09:34
Speaker 1: the Iranians didn't have a nuclear weapon, okay, because they
2:09:37
Speaker 1: would use it against Israel. Now, odds are you don't
2:09:39
Speaker 1: like Israel, not you, and you don't care. But guess what?
2:09:43
Speaker 1: They would use it against the United States. And here's
2:09:45
Speaker 1: the answer, Bill O'Reilly, that I always get. You ready?
2:09:48
Speaker 7: I've been hearing Iran is close to a nuclear weapon
2:09:52
Speaker 7: for 30 years. Why am I supposed to believe that
2:09:56
Speaker 7: a couple of months ago they were any closer?
2:09:59
Speaker 1: We didn't need this. We didn't want this. We don't
2:10:02
Speaker 1: want new wars. I've been hearing Iran is close for
2:10:06
Speaker 1: 30 years. That's what I hear all the time.
2:10:08
Speaker 24: Okay, because people believe what they want to believe. So
2:10:11
Speaker 24: if you look up the IEA UN Weapons Organization, their
2:10:18
Speaker 24: last dispatch was in July of this year. And it
2:10:24
Speaker 24: clearly says that Iran could put together a nuclear weapon
2:10:29
Speaker 24: within weeks. This is the United Nations. Not Trump, not
2:10:37
Speaker 24: anybody with a vested interest, because certainly the United Nations
2:10:41
Speaker 24: is No fan of Israel or the United States. This
2:10:46
Speaker 24: is their latest report. So people, they're going to believe
2:10:50
Speaker 24: what they want to believe. But the timing of this
2:10:55
Speaker 24: hurt President Trump and the Republican Party. If he had
2:11:00
Speaker 24: cruised through the year and then after he wins the midterms,
2:11:06
Speaker 24: and I do believe that would have happened, Then you
2:11:09
Speaker 24: go in, you got two years of clear, you can
2:11:13
Speaker 24: do what you want. Then you go in. Okay. But
2:11:20
Speaker 24: what the president was sold was we can knock these
2:11:23
Speaker 24: guys out like we did with Maduro.
2:11:25
Speaker 1: He misjudged it. He did.
2:11:27
Speaker 24: We can get them. They're all in a garage.
2:11:30
Speaker 2: Right.
2:11:31
Speaker 24: Smoking weed. All we got to do is drop the
2:11:34
Speaker 24: bomb on them, which we did.
2:11:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, we wiped out all of them.
2:11:36
Speaker 24: And killed them. But like ants, there's so many of
2:11:40
Speaker 24: them that two seconds later, there's another guy in a
2:11:42
Speaker 24: turbine going, I want to kill everybody.
2:11:45
Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, that's it. That's that region.
2:11:48
Speaker 24: That was the miscalculation. Now, Trump, he's doing the right
2:11:53
Speaker 24: thing by confronting Trump.
2:11:56
Speaker 26: Uh.
2:11:57
Speaker 24: enemies evil destroyed the art he's doing the right thing
2:12:02
Speaker 24: but the timing of it hurt americans fifty percent of
2:12:07
Speaker 24: home pay attention all they know is i gotta fill
2:12:14
Speaker 24: the truck up and it's costing me a lot more
2:12:17
Speaker 24: than it used to right so i'm gonna vote for
2:12:20
Speaker 24: al-saeed yet does that make anything It doesn't make any
2:12:26
Speaker 24: sense at all. It's like betting on the Miami Dolphins. Okay,
2:12:31
Speaker 24: go ahead. You want to vote on it? You want
2:12:34
Speaker 24: to bet on the Miami Dolphins? I'll take your cash. Okay?
2:12:39
Speaker 24: It's so ridiculous.
2:12:41
Speaker 1: It is.
2:12:41
Speaker 24: But that is where we are. The Constitution gives every
2:12:46
Speaker 24: single American one very stark right. you have the right
2:12:53
Speaker 24: to be a moron. Okay? And Benjamin Franklin was the best.
2:12:59
Speaker 24: If you read him, he knew, he knew that this
2:13:05
Speaker 24: was going to become a problem, that an ill-informed electorate,
2:13:10
Speaker 24: people who don't know anything, who are swayed by propaganda,
2:13:15
Speaker 24: who vote their wallet above everything else, I mean, God,
2:13:20
Speaker 24: I'm saying to myself, Calarico? Calarico? Look, the other guy, Paxton,
2:13:26
Speaker 24: I mean, you and I, if he were in New York,
2:13:29
Speaker 24: we'd bring him down to the battery and push him
2:13:32
Speaker 24: in the Hudson, okay? Let's be honest. The guy is
2:13:36
Speaker 24: just a nebbish.
2:13:37
Speaker 1: He is. He is.
2:13:40
Speaker 24: But Calarico?
2:13:41
Speaker 1: He's a lunatic.
2:13:42
Speaker 24: Okay, he disappears for two weeks. No one on his
2:13:47
Speaker 24: staff can text. that Jimmy's got the sniffles? Nobody can
2:13:53
Speaker 24: do that?
2:13:54
Speaker 2: No.
2:13:54
Speaker 1: He had the flu. He was gone for weeks.
2:13:57
Speaker 24: Who's buying this?
2:13:59
Speaker 1: I don't know. Americans. People in Texas clearly are buying
2:14:02
Speaker 1: it because he's winning as of this morning. Although, again,
2:14:05
Speaker 1: it's very close. I'm a couple of weeks away. So
2:14:08
Speaker 1: I got to run, but I got to tell you
2:14:09
Speaker 1: that this was another unbelievable appearance. And next week is
2:14:14
Speaker 1: a very important appearance, Bill, because a week from today,
2:14:17
Speaker 1: next Thursday... As soon as my show.
2:14:19
Speaker 7: Is over, I'm going to walk over to the Rainbow
2:14:22
Speaker 7: Room in Rockefeller Center and I'll be inducted into the
2:14:26
Speaker 7: New York State Broadcasting Hall of Fame. And I couldn't
2:14:30
Speaker 7: think of a better person to speak to last.
2:14:34
Speaker 1: On my radio show that day than you. Because I
2:14:36
Speaker 1: mean this when I look at my success over these
2:14:40
Speaker 1: last couple of years at ABC and where.
2:14:42
Speaker 7: My career has gone. whether it's President Trump or other
2:14:46
Speaker 7: famous people that are on this show quite a bit,
2:14:49
Speaker 7: there was nobody ahead of you. So thank you so much.
2:14:52
Speaker 24: Well, listen, you did it on your own. I mean, somehow,
2:14:56
Speaker 24: somewhere between Brooklyn and New York City is Christopher Cross
2:15:01
Speaker 24: one side.
2:15:02
Speaker 1: Yes, he did.
2:15:04
Speaker 24: You emerged as an authentic voice. You know, I'm just happy.
2:15:09
Speaker 24: that this broadcast outfit, which usually gives these kinds of
2:15:12
Speaker 24: awards to an NPR woman who doesn't even know how
2:15:16
Speaker 24: to open her car door, okay? That's who usually gets
2:15:21
Speaker 24: these awards. I'm just happy they're giving you an award.
2:15:24
Speaker 1: Thank you.
2:15:26
Speaker 24: I mean, can you melt it down for some cash?
2:15:28
Speaker 24: I mean, what can you do with it?
2:15:29
Speaker 1: Well, we'll see. You know, things are tough these days, Bill.
2:15:32
Speaker 1: We may have to do that. I don't know.
2:15:33
Speaker 23: I know.
2:15:34
Speaker 24: But if I know you, that award will be pasted
2:15:38
Speaker 24: on the outside.
2:15:39
Speaker 1: Of your house. 100%.
2:15:41
Speaker 24: Right, with streetlights and spotlights on it. Maybe a disco ball.
2:15:47
Speaker 1: Maybe. If I can do it. Why not? Well, you're
2:15:50
Speaker 1: going to be here next week on that special day, Bill,
2:15:53
Speaker 1: and I can't wait. But you were magnificent today. Thank
2:15:55
Speaker 1: you so much.
2:15:56
Speaker 24: All right. Congrats on the award, and it's always fun
2:16:00
Speaker 24: talking to you, Sid.
2:16:01
Speaker 1: You too, Bill. You're an amazing guy. You really are.
2:16:03
Speaker 1: Smart and funny and just terrific. I love you.
2:16:05
Speaker 7: Bill O'Reilly right there, and we'll take a short break.
2:16:08
Speaker 7: He's always great every Thursday. We got the news. Did
2:16:10
Speaker 7: you say Hank Sheinkopf is coming on tomorrow? Tomorrow, okay,
2:16:14
Speaker 7: we love Hank. We saw him at Russo's on the
2:16:16
Speaker 7: Bay last week, and he's a terrific guy, too.
2:16:19
Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
2:16:22
Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
2:16:25
Speaker 1: So, I don't love either one of those bands, to
2:16:27
Speaker 1: be honest with you. I really don't, but now I do.
2:16:29
Speaker 7: Metallica and Motley Crue. Tommy Lee. His finest work was
2:16:36
Speaker 7: the video he did with Pamela Anderson on that boat.
2:16:38
Speaker 1: My God.
2:16:38
Speaker 26: That was.
2:16:39
Speaker 18: Strange.
2:16:40
Speaker 1: I know it's still hard to believe that's a white
2:16:42
Speaker 1: man's penis to this day.
2:16:44
Speaker 7: That thing was as long as the Autobot. Tommy Lee,
2:16:48
Speaker 7: one of the greats. So I had a chance to
2:16:51
Speaker 7: celebrate with so many great Italians Columbus Day on Monday.
2:16:56
Speaker 7: And as I told a lot of people that day.
2:16:59
Speaker 7: Maybe the best part of that day was not even
2:17:01
Speaker 7: the Italians I saw that I loved that day. Joe
2:17:04
Speaker 7: Piscopo and Vinnie Medugno and Angelo Bivolo and Jen Delandro
2:17:09
Speaker 7: and Johnny Tobacco and even Uncle Nino, who plays Vinnie's
2:17:14
Speaker 7: uncle in Jersey Shore. And Frankie, my driver, and tons more.
2:17:19
Speaker 7: Mike Crespino, the New Jersey senator.
2:17:20
Speaker 1: Forget about it. The best part was that the mayor
2:17:24
Speaker 1: didn't come. Okay? That was my favorite part about Monday.
2:17:28
Speaker 1: I don't want to see that creep ever, ever. I
2:17:33
Speaker 1: was invited. This is true. He will deny it because
2:17:36
Speaker 1: he's a liar. Maybe he won't.
2:17:38
Speaker 23: I don't know.
2:17:38
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say that. I take that back. But right
2:17:41
Speaker 1: after I apologized to the mayor, which I've taken back
2:17:45
Speaker 1: time and time again, taking it back, everything I said
2:17:47
Speaker 1: about him is true. But right after... somebody who will
2:17:52
Speaker 1: remain nameless said to the mayor, you know, maybe it
2:17:57
Speaker 1: would be good if you guys got together. And the
2:17:59
Speaker 1: mayor said, yeah, let's do that.
2:18:01
Speaker 7: Why don't you ask Sid if he'll meet for lunch
2:18:05
Speaker 7: or dinner or something like that?
2:18:07
Speaker 1: And I was asked a question, and I said, and
2:18:09
Speaker 1: I quote, you're kidding, right? Not a chance in hell. Now,
2:18:13
Speaker 1: you're going to say, well, that makes you selfish. Sid,
2:18:16
Speaker 1: if you really want to help the city, if you
2:18:18
Speaker 1: claim to be Mr. New York, I mean, even Sid
2:18:21
Speaker 1: is considering running for mayor in 29. I know Jessica
2:18:24
Speaker 1: Tisch is the big name, and I'm not sure she
2:18:27
Speaker 1: could beat me. I don't know that. She'd be an
2:18:29
Speaker 1: independent anyway. I'd be Republican. I will wipe the floor
2:18:32
Speaker 1: with Curtis. I can promise you that. He can talk
2:18:34
Speaker 1: all he wants. Wear all the stupid red jackets he wants.
2:18:37
Speaker 1: I'm getting more than 7%. I promise you that. I'm
2:18:40
Speaker 1: probably not going to run.
2:18:41
Speaker 7: But at any rate, if you want to really help
2:18:43
Speaker 7: the city, you're hurting the city by not meeting and
2:18:47
Speaker 7: talking and trying to lessen the divide.
2:18:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sorry. I've got a conscience.
2:18:55
Speaker 23: Sorry.
2:18:56
Speaker 1: I've got some integrity. And I love this city. I
2:19:00
Speaker 1: don't have to be here. I don't.
2:19:03
Speaker 7: I can live basically anywhere I want, and I can
2:19:06
Speaker 7: do a radio show anywhere I want.
2:19:09
Speaker 1: I'm that good. I can get a job in Miami tomorrow,
2:19:12
Speaker 1: or Texas, or North Carolina tomorrow. And believe me, I
2:19:16
Speaker 1: think about it. Believe me, I do. At least for today,
2:19:20
Speaker 1: and this can change tomorrow. I want to be here.
2:19:25
Speaker 7: But I don't need to suck up and or be
2:19:28
Speaker 7: nice to somebody who's a miserable, disgusting person.
2:19:33
Speaker 1: And that's the mayor. A miserable, disgusting person. Mind you,
2:19:39
Speaker 1: he may be the best of the threesome when I
2:19:42
Speaker 1: compare his wife and his father to him. That's how
2:19:45
Speaker 1: despicable the whole Mamdani family is. From top to bottom,
2:19:49
Speaker 1: they are grotesque. Anti-Semites. No, Mamdani.
2:19:55
Speaker 7: Bruce is not a racist. Sid is not a bigot
2:20:00
Speaker 7: or honest. So he wasn't there.
2:20:02
Speaker 1: It was great.
2:20:04
Speaker 7: But the day before Monday, my buddy Joe Nunziata, Nunzi,
2:20:08
Speaker 7: and all the great Italians in Brooklyn and Williamsburg were
2:20:12
Speaker 7: going to have their 2026 Brooklyn Giglio Boys block party.
2:20:18
Speaker 7: But you may remember that Sunday the weather was miserable.
2:20:21
Speaker 7: Rained all day. Remember the Jets and Browns? Rained all day.
2:20:24
Speaker 7: So they rescheduled it for this Sunday.
2:20:28
Speaker 1: This Sunday, October the 18th, 554 Lorimer Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
2:20:34
Speaker 1: 1 p.m. food, drinks, and music. 3 p.m. dancing of
2:20:40
Speaker 1: the Giglio. 6 p.m., you get the fireworks.
2:20:43
Speaker 7: 7 p.m., from the cutting room in Carnegie Club, my
2:20:46
Speaker 7: dear friend Stephen Maglio sings Sinatra, and he's great.
2:20:51
Speaker 1: I'm going to say it right now. He's every bit
2:20:53
Speaker 1: as good as Piscopo, Stephen Maglio.
2:20:56
Speaker 7: And then 9 p.m., you get a dance party with
2:20:59
Speaker 7: DJ Danny, followed by the drawing of the Giglio Lotto balls.
2:21:04
Speaker 1: What a day.
2:21:05
Speaker 7: From 1 that afternoon to, like, midnight in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
2:21:10
Speaker 7: where they still have great Italians and Orthodox Jews, they're
2:21:15
Speaker 7: going to party like rock stars and continue the Columbus
2:21:18
Speaker 7: Day celebration, which started Monday, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Lorimer Street. Check
2:21:25
Speaker 7: them out on Sunday, the 2026 Brooklyn Julio Boys Block Party.
2:21:32
Speaker 3: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
2:21:35
Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
2:21:38
Speaker 18: What is the piece of news?
2:21:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're ready. Take it easy. It's my show. I'll
2:21:41
Speaker 1: get to it when I want to, okay? Okay, fine, fine.
2:21:43
Speaker 1: Calm down.
2:21:43
Speaker 26: Yes, sir.
2:21:44
Speaker 23: Yes, sir.
2:21:44
Speaker 1: Okay, let's discuss something else. I'm old.
2:21:46
Speaker 25: I'm tired. Let's discuss another thing.
2:21:47
Speaker 1: Let's come back to this, right? Let's talk about the
2:21:50
Speaker 1: Brewers about to sweep the Dodgers tonight, okay?
2:21:53
Speaker 18: Gladly.
2:21:53
Speaker 1: No, no, no. Let's do it. Here's the news. So
2:21:55
Speaker 1: just moments ago, moments ago, during the break, actually, my
2:22:01
Speaker 1: phone buzzed. Now, and this is very inside baseball, my
2:22:06
Speaker 1: phone buzzes for a couple of reasons, okay, gentlemen? One
2:22:10
Speaker 1: is when I get a text. I have not had
2:22:13
Speaker 1: my ringer on my phone for about five years. So
2:22:16
Speaker 1: the phone won't buzz. You guys understand that?
2:22:18
Speaker 25: No, I need another further explanation.
2:22:21
Speaker 7: My phone will also buzz, wiseass, when I get a
2:22:25
Speaker 7: direct message on Instagram, which I don't get often, but
2:22:30
Speaker 7: when I do, the phone buzzes.
2:22:32
Speaker 1: You with me, Lou?
2:22:34
Speaker 25: Hold on. So you won't. Yeah, I got it.
2:22:36
Speaker 1: Okay. And the phone also buzzes when I get an email.
2:22:43
Speaker 6: Oh.
2:22:44
Speaker 18: Shut up, Lou.
2:22:45
Speaker 1: How's the matter with you?
2:22:46
Speaker 27: How did you arrange that system?
2:22:48
Speaker 1: So the phone buzzes three different reasons why, I guess, right?
2:22:53
Speaker 1: Social media, email, and a text. So moments ago at
2:22:56
Speaker 1: the break, my phone buzzed. And lo and behold, it's
2:23:01
Speaker 1: an email.
2:23:03
Speaker 25: I mean, the buildup of this.
2:23:05
Speaker 18: Oh, my God. It better be good.
2:23:06
Speaker 2: Yeah.
2:23:07
Speaker 1: My goodness gracious. The email, gentlemen... Yes? is from the
2:23:12
Speaker 1: New York Knicks organization.
2:23:14
Speaker 25: Oh, no.
2:23:16
Speaker 18: If you're going where you think I'm going, I'm going
2:23:18
Speaker 18: to need evidence of this, but go ahead.
2:23:19
Speaker 1: That's what I said. The email from a lady I
2:23:24
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't even recognize the name, Cheryl Rosen.
2:23:28
Speaker 1: You know that name, though?
2:23:29
Speaker 18: I do not know Cheryl Rosen.
2:23:31
Speaker 26: No.
2:23:31
Speaker 1: The Knicks... Justin, you know that name? Never heard of her. Lewis,
2:23:35
Speaker 1: what about you?
2:23:36
Speaker 26: Oh, no.
2:23:36
Speaker 25: Yeah, she's pretty. She's dang powerful.
2:23:39
Speaker 1: You've never heard of her, have you? In the emails.
2:23:41
Speaker 1: So all four of us have never heard of this woman.
2:23:43
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even know where to make up this name.
2:23:46
Speaker 1: So I get an email from Cheryl Rosen from the
2:23:49
Speaker 1: New York Knicks who says that the conversation we had
2:23:54
Speaker 1: earlier got back to James Dolan and Nick Management. And
2:24:00
Speaker 1: the Knickerbockers would like nothing more than to make you happy.
2:24:10
Speaker 1: And we will absolutely participate in what you talked about.
2:24:14
Speaker 1: on your program earlier today when you said, I'd love
2:24:17
Speaker 1: to deliver a message to the team before tonight's preseason
2:24:21
Speaker 1: game against the Toronto Raptors.
2:24:23
Speaker 18: Hold on a second. I am coming in there to
2:24:25
Speaker 18: look at this. I don't care.
2:24:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, seriously.
2:24:30
Speaker 2: Right.
2:24:30
Speaker 18: Yeah, okay.
2:24:31
Speaker 1: He's got to find it in the email. Right, let
2:24:34
Speaker 1: me find it in the email. He's got it. Uh-huh.
2:24:39
Speaker 1: After he told us. One of the 8,000 emails I get.
2:24:42
Speaker 1: Right now I can't find it.
2:24:43
Speaker 7: Pamela Garber, Justin Ellick, Isaac Krinsky, Chris and John. But
2:24:48
Speaker 7: for some reason it's not coming up.
2:24:49
Speaker 1: Right, for some reason. I don't know. Come here. Oh,
2:24:53
Speaker 1: he found it. He got it. What does that say?
2:24:55
Speaker 1: What does that say right there? Oh, my God. What
2:24:57
Speaker 1: does it say? What does it say?
2:24:59
Speaker 18: It says New York Knicks. Time to get ready for
2:25:02
Speaker 18: the game. It's your ticket. I knew there was no way.
2:25:14
Speaker 1: Of course. And by the way, that's no good for him.
2:25:17
Speaker 1: He has no idea how to access tickets that way.
2:25:20
Speaker 18: How's he going to open that? Someone's going to have
2:25:22
Speaker 18: to do that for him.
2:25:22
Speaker 1: I didn't completely lie. There is an email from the
2:25:24
Speaker 1: New York Knicks. There is. You know, I'm actually a
2:25:29
Speaker 1: little pissed off at myself.
2:25:31
Speaker 28: Maybe like 7.5% of myself actually believe that.
2:25:34
Speaker 1: Did you really?
2:25:35
Speaker 18: Not 1% of me believe that.
2:25:36
Speaker 1: No, that's not true. You guys are better than me.
2:25:39
Speaker 1: When I broke out Cheryl Rosen, she works in the
2:25:42
Speaker 1: marketing department for the Knicks. She doesn't even exist.
2:25:44
Speaker 18: Right, of course.
2:25:48
Speaker 25: That was a good name you made up.
2:25:49
Speaker 5: That's good.
2:25:50
Speaker 18: Here are your tickets.
2:25:51
Speaker 1: I made her a Jew. I made her a Jew.
2:25:53
Speaker 1: I made her a Jew with the Knicks. I had
2:25:55
Speaker 1: to do that. Have you heard of her?
2:25:57
Speaker 18: No, have you heard of her? Have you heard of her?
2:26:01
Speaker 25: Oh, wait, here comes another email.
2:26:03
Speaker 28: Yeah, it's like those emails you get from the Yankees
2:26:05
Speaker 28: after you go to one game and they're like, oh,
2:26:07
Speaker 28: you're our most valued customer. Here's a package we don't
2:26:10
Speaker 28: offer to anybody else.
2:26:10
Speaker 1: It's not even tickets for tonight's game. It is, are
2:26:13
Speaker 1: you ready for the season? Yeah, right. It's a promo.
2:26:16
Speaker 1: That's all it is. From the Knicks. But on a
2:26:19
Speaker 1: serious note, it looks like James Dolan is on our side.
2:26:24
Speaker 1: In fact, I know he is. He loves Trump. You
2:26:26
Speaker 1: know that.
2:26:27
Speaker 7: He hates Mamdani. He couldn't stand Mamdani. He's telling everybody
2:26:32
Speaker 7: he's a Knick fan. He hated every second of Mamdani's
2:26:35
Speaker 7: speech at the rally when we won the championship.
2:26:39
Speaker 1: And he's all out for Blakeman. He is in the
2:26:41
Speaker 1: New York Times today. A whole story.
2:26:44
Speaker 7: They interviewed Dolan. I guess why he's doing this fundraiser tonight.
2:26:49
Speaker 7: And it's because he can't stand Hochul. So it looks
2:26:53
Speaker 7: like Republican Party in New York, our best friend, is
2:26:57
Speaker 7: the owner of a team that just won the championship,
2:27:01
Speaker 7: James Dolan. So I'm going to talk to him tonight,
2:27:04
Speaker 7: that I am going to do, and try to get
2:27:05
Speaker 7: him on this show to talk about Bruce ASAP.
2:27:10
Speaker 25: That's a great idea.
2:27:11
Speaker 1: Hopefully they'll have success. Yeah, I don't know. He's a
2:27:13
Speaker 1: big-time guy.
2:27:13
Speaker 24: You don't know.
2:27:14
Speaker 1: I don't know.
2:27:14
Speaker 27: If I need a favor, though, if you could figure
2:27:17
Speaker 27: this out, because I'd like to go to a few games.
2:27:19
Speaker 23: Sure.
2:27:19
Speaker 25: If you could hook me up with Cheryl Rosen.
2:27:21
Speaker 18: A few times this season so that she can take
2:27:24
Speaker 18: care of me. I can say I work this day.
