Brian Kilmeade | WABC Radio Host Reacts to Mamdani Calling for U.S. to join ICC, Arrest Netanyahu During Theo Von Podcast Appearance · Sid & Friends In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: So as I said earlier, I very rarely, if ever,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: get upset with President Trump. I love him. I consider
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: myself an ardent sycophant. I love the guy.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: We know this already.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not breaking news here on Sitting Friends in the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Morning this morning. The only time I get upset with
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Trump is when he goes out of his way, out
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: of his way to compliment Mamdani. And he did it
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: again a couple days ago. He talked about his policies
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: being crazy. But for some reason, he's compelled to preface
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: that with, I like the guy. He's great. He's not great.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: He's a piece of garbage. That's what the mayor is.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: So that's the only time I get upset with President Trump.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: So this morning, the top story on NewYorkPost.com has Mamdani
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: at it again with this loser, and I mean loser,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Theo Vaughn on some podcast saying the United States should
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: join the ICC and... Move forward with his idea of
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: arresting Bibi Netanyahu. He knows that'll never happen. Never, ever, ever.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: But this jihad, terrorist, socialist, Marxist won't stop. And then again,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I get like upset with Trump. It brings me back
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to last Monday at Gracie Mansion. I know Brian Kilmeade
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: loves B.B.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Like I do.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: In fact, I saw B.B. Netanyahu on Kilmeade's morning show
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: on Fox News yesterday. I know Kilmeade knows there's no genocide.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: He's not a war criminal. He knows all that. But
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: he's going to tell you that. So, joining me now,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: my dear friend follows me each and every morning at
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: 10 o'clock here on ABC. Also, Fox and Friends and
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: his own terrific show, The Best on Cable, 10 p.m.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Sunday nights, One Nation. My man, Brian Kilmeade. Brian, here
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: we go again. This mayor doesn't stop knowing full well
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: he can't do it and it's never going to happen.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and put it this way. The mayor is really dangerous,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: and here's why. He does not look like, I look
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: at El Saeed, that guy looks like he's threatening everybody.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: He's got a swagger and a cockiness. It's really a repellent. Yeah,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: for his supporters, they love it. But he's really a repellent.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: You look at that guy and go, okay, I can't
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: stand him. But the thing about Mondami that makes him dangerous,
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: and I have a few people in my life, they
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: come off so nice, but they are really destructive. is
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: that he comes off as this guy, he's harmless, whatever
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: you need, I'm here to help.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry you're mad at me. You know, let's
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: do a scavenger hunt through the city.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: But he's really a guy that has really said very
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: little good about our country ever. I don't really think
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: he even loves the city that much. And if you
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: want to know what he's really like, look at them
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: exploding at Tom Holman a year and a half ago
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: when Holman went up to Albany. to try to say
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: you've got to stop being a sanctuary city and try
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: to work with Eric Adams in order to be able
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: to scoop up our guys, you know, when Joe Biden
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: was president.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: So that's the guy I know.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: And for him to sit down there and talk like
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: a tough guy after Netanyahu came and went and he
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: wasn't arrested with Theo Vaughn shows what a wuss he is,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: number one, because he'd said nothing when Netanyahu was here.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: He says he was going to personally go out there
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: and protest. He had disappeared.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: So I'm disappointed the president bolsters him. Because it hurts Blakeman.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: It hurts Lepetri right here. Mike Lepetri right here in
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: New York running against Tom Suozzi, who was on me yesterday.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I like him. Mike's a great guy, Republican.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: But all those guys say I'm running against what's growing
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: in New York City, this growing sense of socialism, communism,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: and this Islamist flair, this anti-Semitic push that's coming out
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: of New York City. And it's hard to do that
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: when the president is visiting him at Gracie Mansion. Now,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I have no problem talking to people that disagree with you,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: especially to get to a common goal. But I don't
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: understand the attraction. But I do know that the president
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: appreciates success because he came out of nowhere to win.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: He's not a big fan of Cuomo.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: And number two, he feels as though he can win
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: him over and stop making New York the anti-Trump enclave
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: that many people in New York say he is. But
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: it's very similar to how the president deals with Vladimir Putin.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: And President Xi is like, these guys are people I
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: got to deal with. They give me respect, so I'll
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: give it back. Even though Vladimir Putin is poisoning his
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: enemies on a daily basis, rocketing into apartment buildings, trying
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: to kill Ukrainian civilians, putting his own people into a
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: meat grinder where thousands die every month for no reason
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: that they can think of. And then you have President Xi,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: who's got the Uyghurs living under Holocaust-like conditions, steamrolled Hong Kong.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: and on a daily basis threatening to take over ally Taiwan.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: But the president says, I got to deal with these guys,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: and if they're nice to me, I'll be nice to them.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: And that's when they write the story about him. I
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: think it'll show, judging by what happens with China and Russia,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: and here in New York City, if he's able to
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: get his way in New York City, He's going to
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: say the ends are just by the means. But in
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: the meantime, I really resent the fact that he's legitimizing
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: him by meeting with him.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: That makes no sense. I mean, there I was in
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Dallas a week before. He talked about the dangers of
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: communism and he hates these DSA candidates. And here he
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: is less than a week later. And believe me, Ken
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Paxton saw the same thing. So there's a lot of inconsistencies.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: But you're right about President Trump. That is his persona.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: And he does it well.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: He does.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: And, you know, you mentioned Bruce Blakeman, dear, dear friend
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: of mine. And I'm kind of his unofficial campaign manager.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I know that the president and Bruce will be in
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Syracuse together October the 9th. I plan on being there, too.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: But he's another guy that is running for office and
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: needs the president to stay on. on course. He's got
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: to make it about Republicans. He can't be saying nice
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: things about the competition. And here was the president yesterday
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: in Texas, in Oklahoma. Today, he's going to Alabama. So, Brian,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: we're about 30 days out. Most of the people I
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: speak to that are not Republican politicians or candidates don't
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: feel very good about our chances coming up in about
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: a month. They say, almost all of them, we are 1,000
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: percent going to lose the House. They feel okay about
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: retaining the Senate, although some think we're going to lose
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: all of it. What do you think about 30 days out?
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Put it this way, Sid. You and I came through sports.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Anybody who's going to tell us exactly what's going to happen,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: because you read Street and Smith the day before, And
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: that's what this is.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Everything is within three points. Everything's.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: So anyone said, oh, this is done and this is
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: it's not going to happen because this game has not
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: been decided yet. And they're beginning to define things because
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: people don't pay attention to after Labor Day.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: And now the president's going to be hands on for
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: 33 straight days. And J.D.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Vance yesterday, he can definitely can make his message crisp.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: And he says, look, make Democrats say what they would do.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Mark Thiessen, I encourage everyone to read The Washington Post today,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: broke down. How much President Trump is responsible for when
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: it comes to affordability? 4% of the inflation is on Trump.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: The other 21% is on Biden. When Biden took office,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: rates for your mortgage was 2.8%. Now it's 7%.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Because this idiot rocketed up inflation, spent $ 1. 9 trillion on
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: packages we didn't need of over 3.6% overall. And then
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: the inflation got out of control. So what does the
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Fed do? They raise rates. So what does Trump have?
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: He's got a situation where no one's dumping their 2%
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: mortgage for a 7% mortgage.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: And they go, why isn't Trump self-housing? Well, he was
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: handed a hand grenade.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: So now inflation was at 5.4% cumulatively high when it
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: comes to Joe.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Biden at 9%. Trump's at 2.7%. And they're like, why
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: you haven't controlled things? He goes, I did.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: I cut it in half. You know, what's with gas prices?
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Still less than Joe Biden. And then you've got to
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: ask yourself this. Well, gas prices are high.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Well, because we've got a war and we've got the
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: trade problem. We're beginning to straighten that out, pun intended.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: But as you know, I'm drilling offshore. I'm getting the
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: pipelines flowing through Alaska. We've got this incredible deal with Venezuela.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: We're going to have that strategic oil reserve filled up.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: And we are going to have gas.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Prices around $ 3 or $ 2.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: 80 as soon as this conflict has ended. And you
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: just have to ask yourself.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: The party that said, stop drilling offshore. Stop drilling on
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: federal lands. Let's not build a refinery. Let's convert them
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: or shut them down and do a deal with the
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: devil with Maduro in Venezuela.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Drain the Strategic Oil Reserve.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Are those the policies that are going to get you
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: $ 3 a gallon gas?
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Of course not.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: What Trump and everybody else got to do is say,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Look what my guy's going to do. Look what that
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: guy's going to do. I'll tell you exactly what I'm
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: going to stand behind it. I'm reconfiguring trade in real time.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: And there's some short-term pain and some tariff revenue coming in.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: But these are all policies.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Not one trade deal did Joe Biden do. No, no
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: drilling was Joe Biden doing, right? He wasn't letting the
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Middle East run wild, even though he begged Iran for
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: a deal. That's how he got the Hamas attack. They
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: were flush with cash and training. Trump is attacking all
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: of it. So what they just got to do is
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: explain it.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: That is the big issue that everybody from KT McFaul
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: and you and other really smart people talk about on
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: my show, the messaging issue. The messaging coming from the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: White House, most people seem to think isn't great, even
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: though what you just said is true. And that is
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: that President Trump is great. All right. We were missing
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: to cover one local story. It's the big one. A
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: really gross story about a young lady that claims, alleges
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: she was gang raped by seven students at Cornell University.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Somebody in the gym said to me yesterday. these are
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Ivy League kids. Let me tell you something. Ivy League kids,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: they could be some of the biggest degenerates in the country.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Trust me.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Don't be fooled because they may be smarter than these
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: other kids. But now the governor, Kathy Hochul, talking about
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Blakeman earlier, he's going to win. But she's a governor
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: right now. She appoints Letitia James, the attorney general, as
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: the special prosecutor. What are your thoughts on this move?
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I'm just reading. It almost took me
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: all morning.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: You know, we get up at three in the morning
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: in order to get on top of the breaking news.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: And I did I did Laura's show last night at seven.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: And this story has evolved even since then. So I
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: this is first off. This is what I say to
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: myself every day.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Duke lacrosse case.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Everyone's like, well, these kids, how many are involved? And,
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: you know, we thought this woman was somewhat telling the truth,
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: but I didn't make.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Any huge commitments.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: But for the most part, 90% of people convicted those
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Duke La Crosse kids, and it turns out she made
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: the whole freaking story up. I'm not saying this woman
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: is 100% right or 100% wrong. All I'm going to
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: say is, we weren't there. Let's see the evidence come in.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: This is going to be the most fascinating debate ever
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: in this way.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: If you get... If you are on drugs or.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Drunk, are you no longer responsible for your actions?
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Are people acting morally?
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: And is there a difference between more acting morally and illegally?
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: So criminally, I should say. So we're talking about 2024
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: and the embarrassment that goes on that women talk about
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: in a situation like this. And then, for example, people
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: overshot the target and they have a name out there.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: And it's a Marine that wasn't even a former Marine
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: that wasn't even there. Nick, you know, he's getting death
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: threats as a rapist. He had nothing to do with it.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: So irresponsible actions could cost lives in this situation. But
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: my feeling is anytime Letitia James involved, I never think
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: justice will follow. That's not going to help anything. Because
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: she is so, I mean, you know exactly where this
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: is heading. I want the right story. I don't want
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: the politically correct story. So I'm going to keep the
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: powder dry. And I think it's going to get a
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: very spirited debate. It's just amazing how divided we are,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: even on this issue. Some people say the woman's 100% right.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Some people say, here we go again, guys being victimized
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: on college campuses.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: So here, you know. It's just unfortunate all around, and now.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: A civil suit turns into a criminal suit, and you
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: have to wonder if justice is even possible.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: What do you think? I'm with you.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I got to see more details. You have to learn
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: more about it. I usually tend to support the woman.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I just do, and that's me because I'm a gentleman.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: But I got to learn more about this case, and
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: you mentioned Duke Lacrosse. There has been precedence in other cases,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Virginia too, where we've seen some of these events happen. Now,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Latisha James, you know, last night there was a debate
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: on New York One. Joe Hernandez, my friend, is running
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: for Comptroller against Tom DiNapoli. That same network will have
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: a debate between Hochul and Blakeman on October the 13th.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: But the next debate coming up is this young lady, Saritha.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Don't know if you know who she is. I love her.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: She's done a bunch of events with me. She was
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: on Long Island with me, Blakeman, and Trump. And she's
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: running against Latisha James. And, of course, she's a huge underdog.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Huge underdog. She is a smart, classy lady, and if
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: God is good to us, we'll get a huge upset
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: in that Seritha.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Letitia James battle coming up.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: All right, so only two days away, Sunday night, One Nation,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: 10 p.m., best show on television, best show on Fox News.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Two days out, Brian. What are we going to see
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: on Sunday night?
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: I'm going to lead with Tom Cotton, going to go
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: to Ari Fleischer, Tom Cotton on China.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I've been reading the People's Daily.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: That's a Chinese-English paper. When they're mad at us or
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: they have a plot and plan, they usually put it there.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: It's basically a propaganda reel. I looked at the top
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: 10 stories.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Four of them are positive for the U.S. None are negative.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: What did Trump discuss? Tom Cotton's an expert in this.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: on foreign relations. Not easily duped. Tim Scott's going to
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: be with us, too. He's in charge of keeping the
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Senate red.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: That was what we were talking about leading up to
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: this spot.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: He's going to talk to us about that. Also, I have...
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: I mentioned Ari Fleischer's going to be with us. And
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: I know I got another.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: some more key guests who allude me at this very moment.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: But it's going to be a big show Sunday at
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: 10 o'clock. And then I'm pumped up next week, next Tuesday...
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Not this Tuesday, coming up Tuesday afternoon, the 13th, my book,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: United States, comes out. The Six Crucial Moments that Forge
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: the American Revolution, the American Miracle. And the main thing
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: is I want people to understand how great our country is.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: And I'd like to break it down to the six
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: moments that made us so they could fully appreciate what
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: we have here as we celebrate year 250. And there's
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: going to be a TV special with it. I've been
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: shooting that for the last eight months. And that'll be
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: on Fox Nation, too.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: And then, of course, you've got not just the book
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: coming out, the 13th, and the Fox Nation movie, but
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: then you've got a live show coming up in Westbury.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I got Red Bank, New Jersey on Friday, 16th.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: And hopefully we could sell that out too. And on
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: the 17th in Westbury, Long Island, it's in the round.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: I had dinner with our good friend Bill O'Reilly.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: He did that.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: The first time I ever saw a non-music event there
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: was him and Dennis Miller. I don't think for a
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: second I got that type of talent, but I do
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: think we're going to put together an entertaining show. And, Sid,
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: I'm still talking to your people about negotiating some type
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: of fees.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: And the riders involved. I mean, this has been going
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: on all night.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: I told the guys, don't leave the room until we
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: get a deal. It reminds me of the 1990s baseball strike.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: It just could go on for a while.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Forever.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: You have certain demands.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: I do have demands. I'm like A-Rod with the Mets.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: You know, in the final 30 seconds, talking about the
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: baseball strike.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Which, by the way, he never was a Met.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: No, he never was. Right. But the Yankees are set
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: to take on the Rays. Big best of five series
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: starting tomorrow. And we got four more series about to go.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: The division series inside baseball. You talk about the work
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: stoppage in the 90s. It does look like, unless there's
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: a miracle, maybe Trump gets involved. He actually offered his
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: services a couple of days ago. There will be a
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: work stoppage in baseball next year. Some say a couple
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: of months. Some say the whole season. When are we
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: going to get past all these work stoppages, Brian, in sports?
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: I thought we did. I mean, it was nonstop.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: I can remember the walkout, the scab players in football, remember,
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: and then It was nonstop in baseball, but they really
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: have to reconfigure things. I mean, put it this way, Sid.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: We're caught up in the Mets. You know, when the
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Mets are good, they'll sell out, right? And the Yankees
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: have been selling out all year. But did you see
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: what's happened in Houston? They made the playoffs. They had 21,000
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: empty seats. I mean, their kid, Tampa, is going to
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: be as great as that franchise is. One of the
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: greatest franchises in sports is going to be all Yankee fans.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: They can't sell it.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: They've got a beautiful stadium with a roof in Florida,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: in Miami. They can't get anything.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Maybe if they put together another perfect season like they
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: did in the 90s, they'll be able to do that,
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: but they can't draw.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: They have to reconfigure that sport.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: The Pittsburgh Pirates haven't tried to compete since Bobby Bonilla
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: was playing third base and Barry Bond was in center field.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: You have to have a minimum and you got to
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: have a maximum. The luxury tax, not really working because
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: the younger teams, the.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Smaller market teams or the ones that play like smaller
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: market teams spend the money on themselves. They don't put
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: it back into their roster. So I think there's got
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: to be reconfiguring. And, you know, I can't believe it,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: but the Yankees like leading the charge. You know, I mean,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers aren't, but the Yankees are. I think the
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Yankees really want a salary cap.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I think they do, too, and they want to see
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: more competition, make it fair. Randy Levine, one of the
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: all-time greats, and the Steinbrenner family, you got to love
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the Yanks. Brian, as always, amazing job. This was an
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: amazing 18-minute conversation. Have yourself a great weekend. Enjoy One
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Nation Sunday night. And next week, you and I, we
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: finish up these big negotiations.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, we'll see. I'm optimistic. Go get them, Sid. Thanks
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: so much. All right, Brian.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: You're great. You're really all great. Coming up after me,
• 18:18
