• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Gabriel Boxer is one of my dearest friends. He's been
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: to show with me every time I've gone. He's part
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: of the great One Israel Fun crew. And he's a
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: very important resident in Nassau County. We love Gabe Boxer.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Goes by the Kosher Guru on all his social media accounts.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: And is kind enough to join me in studio today.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: And Gabe goes to me, I don't know, Sid, not
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: yourself today. Well, yeah, you should have seen my 9-11.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I was the same way. Days like today, I'm not
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: going to be myself. I started off sad, Gabe.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Now I'm angry.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: I don't blame you, especially, I lived through October 7th.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: I was in Israel, in Jerusalem that day. It's forever
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: etched in my memory. You and I, I was actually
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: talking to Justin before. I remember when you and I
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: visited so many times to Israel, but one day that
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: still etches is that morning in Sderot when we were
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: trying to hook up the show for everyone to listen
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: to us live in Sderot.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: That was the one.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Year anniversary of, I almost said 9-11, of October 7th, yes.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: But if you remember the bombs, Hamas was aiming missiles
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: at us and we had to run. And I mean,
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: you and I, Justin and I were, I think Justin
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: was carrying, I was running after Justin into the bomb shelter.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: They didn't even give us a second to breathe and
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: to get our people home safely. And since then till
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: the third anniversary with, with, Mamdani, what he's saying out there, repeating,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: repeating the false narrative, the lies of the Hamas Ministry
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: of Health, the Gaza Ministry, which is run by Hamas,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: which has been proven, been proven that they are lies
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: and falsehoods. And like what you did when Biden was
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: speaking in D.C., he is repeating them again with absolutely no.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: No honor whatsoever. It makes no sense, Sid.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: It makes no sense. You would think that today he
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: would just kind of put all that stuff aside. Get
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: back to it tomorrow.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: He's got 364 days you can lie about the Israelis.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: But you would think today he'd be like, okay, listen,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: today's about Israel and the people that will murder the innocent.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: He can't even do it.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: And he's got the nerve to come up with some
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: type of bogus anti-Semitism plan. This type of nonsense. where
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: you sympathize with the Palestinians and not the Jews, what
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: it does is it increases the chance of anti-Semitism attacks.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: And with what he's tweeting, any attack on the Jewish
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: people in New York City is a result of him,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: and he is at fault. And we have to hold
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: him accountable for what he's doing. The most divisive mayor
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: this city, and I think any city in the United
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: States of America, has ever seen. Sid, it makes no sense.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: And on top of it, you mentioned just a few
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: minutes ago in the monologue leading up to right now
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: that the Palestinians, remember, they voted for Hamas.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: They elected Hamas.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: They're going to say, well, they have no choice because
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Hamas shows up with guns and they're kind of prisoners
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: of their own people.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: And if you believe that, it's because you've never been there.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Anybody who talks about Israel, who says these things, I
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: promise you, they've never been there.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: They don't know the dynamic. You, you gay boxer, you
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: do it. I really don't.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Not only do you go to Israel, to the Gaza border,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: somehow or another, the IDF invites you behind the walls.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: You've seen the IDF actually take out Hamas terrorists. And
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: they say, no, the Palestinians, they don't want to do that.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Hamas makes them. That's not true.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: I got invited and embedded into Khativa 666. the paratroop
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: unit 646 for a day, when they went to Khan Yunus,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: saw what was going on, went to the schools, where
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: in the schools, you're talking about indoctrination of kids at
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: a young age, where the murals of bus bombings and
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Jews being blown up, this is what third graders, fourth
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: graders are being taught and embedded into them. But remember,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: when you're talking about, are there any innocent, we'll call
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: them Palestinians, for lack of a better term right now,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: on air, these are the same people that these liberal
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: left communities along the Gaza envelope, along the Gaza border,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: brought them in.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: To work, to show them.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: They drove to hospitals and they're the ones that took
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: notes and wrote down where everyone's home is, who has
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: a dog, who has a gun. And they gave all
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: this information and drew out where the bedroom is, where
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: the safe room is. They were complicit 1,000% in the
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: terror of that day. And a lot of them came
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: across the border with those guys that day. Innocent Palestinian civilians.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: What were they doing by the Kibbutzim that day? With
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: their GoPros and video cameras.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: And sharing it all. And the most disgusting thing is
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: from when the Holocaust happened, it took X amount of
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: years for there to be Holocaust deniers.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: From October 7th, what happened? Already, October 7th at night,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: there were October 7th deniers. Yet, like the Nazis, Hamas
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: videotaped and aired all over every.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Social media platform. The Nazis actually tried to hide it.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Remember, we exposed the Nazis years and years later.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: They tried to hide it. They lied.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: They didn't have back then, obviously, cameras and cell phones
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and phone cameras.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: A lot of those Nazis, they denied it. They said, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: I didn't do that. These people, like you said, they
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: couldn't wait to show the world. They're worse than the Nazis.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Yes, although the Nazis documented it, Hamas aired it to
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: the world as it was happening. How could anybody in
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: their right mind, how could even Mayor Mamdani in his
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: right mind say no? It wasn't a genocide against the Jews.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: The terror attacks never happened. Who in their right mind
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: could deny what they themselves erred for the world to see?
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: And they take pride in it. And they say they
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: did it. They don't even deny it.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: No, of course not. So where were you that morning again?
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: You were where?
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I was in Jerusalem.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: I was there for, which was, you know, the Jewish
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: holiday of Sukkot into Simchas Torah. It was actually my
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: daughter's birthday, October 7th. We were lucky to actually... October
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: 6th at night, we celebrated night with all of our
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: friends and family over in the apartment. And I still
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: remember my youngest daughter waking me up at six something
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: in the morning saying there's alarms going off. She's hearing bombs.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, no, no, no. It's just the alarm clock.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: We didn't have an alarm clock. I just made it
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: feel good. And all of a sudden, within minutes, we're
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: waking up, understanding what's going on. We spent that entire
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: day in our bomb shelter and where our complex is,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: our apartment complex in Jerusalem. We have people who are
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: from the UN there, the embassy, and they're all getting
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: messages on their phone of what's going on that day.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: We didn't even understand the severity of it till hours later.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: And that next day, literally that night, but the next
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: day you met Captain Yigal Delmoni, who was the one
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: who took me into Gaza, but you met him. I
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: was on the road with two Jewish singers and some
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: other people. We packed our car up, going to an
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: army base near Petach Tikva and giving out food, clothing, T-shirts, underwear, socks,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: because these heroes literally left their houses when they got
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: that call with nothing or whatever they could take They
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: ran to the base, and this is the embodiment, the
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: soul of an Israeli. They will drop everything to protect everybody.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I saw Sammy Steigman last week at Caroline Schenkel's event
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: that I hosted. He's on Box News right now with
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Natalie Sanandaji. I just played the audio of me and
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Natalie from three years ago. How ironic is that? Moments
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: after that, Natalie and Steigman on Box News together. But
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I've got the great one, the kosher guru, Gabriel Boxer, Mr.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Nassau County. So, you know, Gabe.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: There are some things, like Alex Trayman said, good things
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: that came out of this. I know it's hard to
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: believe because it was so brutal, and what's happened since
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: October 8th, this moronic world of ours buying into this
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: nonsense because people are stupid and.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Uneducated, and they feel very comfortable hating on us. That's
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: what it is, okay? But look, I've been to Israel
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: five times since then, never before.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I made friends with people like you and Scott Beltman
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and a new Judah Honigman before, but Alex Treyman, all
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: these people.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: People like me. Not like you. You went to the
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Wailing Wall. You didn't take your cell phone. I did.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I took pictures. You pray on Shabbos. You actually observe Shabbos.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: That's not me. And still not me, mind you.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Although I still remember I made you walk on Sabbath
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: and you were upsetting me.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I made you walk from the Wailing Wall all the
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: way to the Fallon House. I was so mad at you.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I remember that.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I was mad at Danielle, too, because she walked with you.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: You guys were like four blocks ahead of me. But
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: people like me who were just... Proud to be Jewish,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: but not lions. And there's a lot of Sid Rosenbergs
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: now that woke up, woke up. It took this awful,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: awful tragedy. but a lot of people like Sid Rosenberg
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: that now will kill to defend a Jew.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: I always tell everybody, I don't care what religious level
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: you're on. That's between you and God, and everyone's on
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: a different level. But when it comes down to it,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: we're all Jews. And just like Hamas, and just like
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: the Nazis, they didn't care if you went to synagogue
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: that morning. They didn't care if you went to the
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Wailing Wall with or without your phone. They didn't care
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: if you prayed on what you just said on the Sabbath,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: not the Sabbath. If we look at the communities, what
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Hamas did to the communities along the Gaza border, these
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: were not religious kibbutzim, moshavim. These were not religious communities.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: These were liberal left communities. These were against, you know,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: the government.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Bibi. Bibi.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Getting to that point also.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: These people will look at me and you much differently
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: then than they will today. They don't care. And that's
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: one thing we have to really start to understand amongst ourselves.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: The world doesn't care if you're religious or not. The
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: world doesn't care what Jew puts on tefillin every day
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: or not. That's between you and God. And listen, we're
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: all on different paths and, you know, different spiritual levels.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: But the world doesn't care. And they will kill you
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: whether you're religious or not. And we saw that time
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: and time again throughout history. And we all experienced on
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: October 7th. And it's time we put the BS aside
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: and realize that they hate us for.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Who we are.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Bottom line, how do you feel about these elections coming
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: up with Bibi in three weeks?
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Crazy, crazy.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: I actually, I spent my summer in Israel. I was
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: there since the end of June till early September. I'm
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: actually going back next week for a conference in Judea.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: I'll be with Mike Huckabee. They're doing the Judea conference
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: where Mike Huckabee is signing a declaration for Judea and Samaria.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: It's going to be an amazing event with the ambassador
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: that day. It's actually next, not this coming Sunday, the
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: following Sunday with the Har Heveron Regional Municipality and all
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: of the mayors of all over Judea and Samaria.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I actually.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: feel very confident because if you, just like we're going
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: to go back to Donald Trump and our fake media
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: in the U.S., if you look at the polls from
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: the liberal left stations, he's down. If you look at
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: the polls, we'll call it from the real media, he
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: has his majority. He has his coalition. It's going to
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: be tight. I do think it's going to be tight.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: It's going to be very interesting, but I do think
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: he's going to pull it off.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: More, more moving forward.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: You're a Nassau County resident. You spend a lot of
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: time in Israel. I love you for that, KB, bud.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: You're a Nassau County guy. How do you feel about
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman's chances? So Bruce Blakeman is a good friend
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: of mine. I'm going to start like that.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: I love Bruce, loved him for a long time, since
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: before he was a town of Hempstead councilman. And of course,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: our Nassau County legislature doing the most amazing job ever.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you like this. The polls are amazing.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: If you look at where Zeldin was and Hochul X
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: amount of years ago, and you look at Bruce today,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: and more and more people are realizing that they need change.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Look at Debra Messing. Look at Debra Messing.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Speaking of my mother the other day, and she showed
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: me a picture that my father took of Debra Messing
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: if he was on Talking About, she never would have
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: thought a Democrat like Debra Messing for Bruce Blanket.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Not her.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Holden, I can see. Even Lautenberg. Messing hates Trump. Yes.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: By the way, I don't know if you read. I
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: saw it on Instagram.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: If you read her, she has 12 sides explaining her thing,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: and she made it very clear about Trump.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: But she knows.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Bruce Blakeman is the best thing, not only for New
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: York City, because we have Mamdani, and he will keep,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: and I do believe he'll keep Mamdani in his place,
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: but for New York State and the way it's going
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: and how far this state has fallen, we need Blakeman
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: more than ever. And I honestly, I'm putting money behind it.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: I'm putting every... Second, I can't volunteer and help Bruce.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: I'm putting it all behind him. I truly believe he
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: has a chance, and I truly believe he will also
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: pull it off. As crazy as everyone is saying whatever
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: they're saying, I believe Bruce will win, but we need
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: to get every vote out around the state, from Rensselaer
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: to Saratoga to Niagara all the way down to the city.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: We need everyone in Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau. We
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: need everybody everywhere. Westchester, we can name all the counties.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: We need people like you to get everybody else to
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: come out.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: You're one of my favorite people. You know that, right?
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: I really love you. And you're very cute. I love you, too.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: You get all fired up. I think you just love
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: me because I'm the same name as your son. That's
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: what I thought. That's true. I didn't even think about
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: that just now.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: All I see is this gay boxer screaming, boom, shakalaka, laka, laka.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: You still do that on those videos? Boom, shakalaka all
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: the time. It's become my thing. Loved NBA gym growing up.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: That's my thing. I love it, too.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: I do want to tell you, though, when I was
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: running for a bit time before I got gerrymandered for
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: a state senate position, back a few years ago.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: I remember George Cairo, the GOP. Joe Cairo. Joe Cairo.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: He would always say, whatever you could do, knock on
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: your neighbor's door, get someone to get out and vote.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Do what you can. You're talking about Bruce Blakeman. We
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: need everybody to knock on their neighbor's doors, their family,
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: their friends, whoever they can. Sid, it's going to be close,
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: but we need every vote and we got to do
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: whatever we can to make Bruce, the governor of New
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: York state. And I truly believe that. And I will
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: do whatever I can. I know you do every day,
• 12:46
