  Speaker 1: You get out to the parking lot. You party all
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: day with the fans.
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: You win the ball game.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: You go more drinking and steaks in the parking lot
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: to go home.
• 1:26
  Speaker 8: That's a day of football.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: That's the way it's supposed to be. I used to
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: go with a bunch of cops out to... out to
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: the Shea Stadium back in the whenever it was to
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: see the Jets and that's all we do we get
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: drunk in a parking lot and uh screaming and hollering
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: everybody's starting fights and uh about halfway through the game
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: I'd pass out and uh it was a nightmare it
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: sounds like a.
• 1:47
  Speaker 9: Great time I wish I was there for those days
• 1:49
  Speaker 9: you know MSNBC has just flashed on my screen it
• 1:54
  Speaker 9: looks like there is a A plane has crashed into
• 1:58
  Speaker 9: the World Trade Center?
• 1:59
  Speaker 10: Who's trying to call me here, pal?
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: American 11, are you trying to call?
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Nobody move.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: Everything will be okay.
• 2:07
  Speaker 11: If you try to make any.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Move, you'll injure yourself and the airplane.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: Let's stay quiet.
• 2:14
  Speaker 11: I just weapon, Sergeant Powell.
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: Hi, Boston Center, TMU.
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: We have a problem here. We have a hijacked aircraft
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: headed towards New York, and we need you guys to.
• 2:23
  Speaker 10: We need someone to scramble some S-16s or something up
• 2:26
  Speaker 10: there to help us out.
• 2:28
  Speaker 11: Is this real world or exercise? No, this is not
• 2:30
  Speaker 11: an exercise, not a test.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 2:32
  Speaker 11: Hey, hold on one second, okay?
• 2:34
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 2:35
  Speaker 13: This just in, you are looking at obviously a very
• 2:38
  Speaker 13: disturbing live shot there. That is the World Trade Center,
• 2:40
  Speaker 13: and we have unconfirmed reports this morning that a plane
• 2:44
  Speaker 13: has crashed into one of the towers. of the World
• 2:47
  Speaker 13: Trade Center. The CNN Center right now is just beginning
• 2:49
  Speaker 13: to work on this story, obviously calling our sources and
• 2:52
  Speaker 13: trying to figure out exactly what happened, but clearly something
• 2:56
  Speaker 13: relatively devastating happening this morning there on the south end
• 3:00
  Speaker 13: of the island of Manhattan. That is, once again, a
• 3:03
  Speaker 13: picture of one of the towers of the World Trade Center.
• 3:06
  Speaker 14: When you can see these pictures, it's obviously... Something devastating
• 3:11
  Speaker 14: has happened, and again, unconfirmed report that a plane has
• 3:15
  Speaker 14: crashed into one of the towers there. We are efforting
• 3:17
  Speaker 14: more information on this subject as it becomes available to you.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: It appears that there is more and more fire and
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: smoke enveloping the very top of the building, and as
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: fire crews are descending on this area, it does not
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: appear that there's any kind of an effort up there yet. Now, remember, oh,
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: my God.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: It's mine.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: That looks like a second plane. I didn't see a
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: plane go in.
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: That just exploded.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: I just saw another plane coming in from the side.
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: You did?
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Yes, and that's the second explosion.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: You can see the plane come in just from the
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: right-hand side.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Of the screen.
• 3:58
  Speaker 9: So this looks like it is some sort of a
• 3:59
  Speaker 9: concerted effort to attack the World Trade Center that is
• 4:03
  Speaker 9: underway in downtown New York.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: It's gone.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: It's gone.
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: It collapsed.
• 4:09
  Speaker 11: It's gone.
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: It's not there.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: The whole tower. The whole tower.
• 4:13
  Speaker 11: It's gone. There's only one tower.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Oh, God.
• 4:17
  Speaker 13: This is horrible.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: It's gone.
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: It's not there. It's like it disappeared. It just collapsed.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: How close are you to that, Warner?
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: I'm looking straight at it.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Good Lord.
• 4:28
  Speaker 11: I can't believe what I'm seeing.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: I can't believe it.
• 4:36
  Speaker 15: Donald Trump is on the line, and we know him
• 4:38
  Speaker 15: as the man behind lots of real estate in Manhattan,
• 4:41
  Speaker 15: and of course, Donald, I understand you were actually a
• 4:45
  Speaker 15: witness to what happened this morning.
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: Well, I have a window that looks directly at the
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: World Trade Center, and I saw this huge explosion. I
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: was with a group of people, and I really couldn't
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: even believe it. And even, I think, worse than that,
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: for years I've looked right directly at the building. I'd
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: see the Empire State Building in the foreground, and the
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: World Trade Center in the background, and now I'm looking
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: at absolutely nothing. It's just gone, and it's just hard
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: to believe.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Donald, you have one of the landmark buildings down in
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the financial district, 40 Wall Street. Did you have any damage,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: or what's happened down there?
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: Well, it was an amazing phone call I made. 40
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: Wall Street actually was the second tallest building in downtown Manhattan,
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: and it was actually before the World Trade Center was
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: the tallest. And then when they built the World Trade Center,
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: it became known as the second tallest, and now it's
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: the tallest. And I just spoke to my people, and
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: they said it's the most unbelievable sight. It's probably seven
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: or eight blocks away from the World Trade Center, and
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: yet Wall Street is littered with two feet of stone
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: and brick and mortar and steel. And there are thousands
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: of people walking over the debris. over the Brooklyn Bridge,
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: where they're sending them out over the Brooklyn Bridge to Brooklyn,
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: and then I guess they're going to have to figure
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: out how to get home from there. But they have
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: between a foot and two feet of debris right in
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: front of a building that's probably, you would say, Alan,
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: six or seven blocks away.
• 6:12
  Speaker 13: People tonight should say a prayer for the people that
• 6:15
  Speaker 13: we've lost and be grateful that.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: We're all here. And tomorrow, you know, tomorrow... New York
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: is going to be here, and we're going to rebuild,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and we're going to be stronger than we were before.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: The most tragic day in the history of this country,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: some will say Pearl Harbor, that was before my time. 9-11. And, Lewis,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: you told me earlier today that Paul Simon actually sang
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: that song, The Boxer, not long after those tragic events
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: of that day. And did you say that was on SNL?
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Where was that?
• 6:50
  Speaker 16: It was on Saturday Night Live 18 days later. So
• 6:56
  Speaker 16: whenever that date was.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: The 29th. Right. Yeah, September 29th. Sorry. And so.
• 7:06
  Speaker 16: Mayor Giuliani was there, Lorne Michaels. They had a little
• 7:09
  Speaker 16: bit of an open, but they had all these firemen
• 7:13
  Speaker 16: and policemen standing there. you know, right in front of
• 7:16
  Speaker 16: the stage, and it was a crazy scene. And Lorne
• 7:21
  Speaker 16: Michaels famously asks the mayor, is it all.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: Right, Mr.
• 7:28
  Speaker 16: Mayor, can we be funny again?
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I remember this.
• 7:31
  Speaker 16: And Rudy gave his reply, why start now?
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: That was such a great, great answer from Rudy. And
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: you heard Rudy Giuliani at the very end of that opening,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: say that New York will rebuild and be stronger than ever.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: And I believe, despite Rudy's best efforts, and he's the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: greatest mayor in the history not just of New York,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: but any city in the history of our country, we
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: never really have rebuilt. You know, we used to say
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: this all the time back then, don't let the terrorists win.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: But they won. They won. They want to the point
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: where there's a terrorist who's running this city right now. And,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: you know, people may get angry with me when I
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: say that today. I don't care. He's going to be
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: down at that ceremony coming up this morning. Many of
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: you are on the way there now, including the great governor,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: George Pataki, who will join me live on this program
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: in less than an hour. We're going to have Pataki
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: on today, Frank Siller on today, and, of course, a
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: big one, the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: will join me at about 8.30. But they won. They're
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: running the city. Terrorists. Remember, they would say, go to
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: the movies, go to a baseball game, do all that.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: If you don't do that, the terrorists win. I mean,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: how many years did we have to take our shoes
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: off at the airport And I just traveled twice in
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the last two weeks, went to Las Vegas for the
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Republican Jewish Coalition and spent the last two days in Dallas,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Texas for the Republican Midterm Convention, the very first ever
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: historic couple of days. And I was there for all
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: of it and gave you guys two great shows from there.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: But certainly they won. And now here we are today,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: 25 years later, It's surreal for me, Noam, because 25
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: years ago on this day, it wasn't these studios, these
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: beautiful studios in midtown Manhattan. It was Astoria, Queens. But
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: when I sat inside that studio and you heard the
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: actual audio, the beginning of today's Open, that was the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: actual audio from that morning. Me, Don Imus, and Charles McCord,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: as I've said many times, talking about the football game
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: from the night before, my New York Giants went to
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, got blown out, by the Baltimore Ravens.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: In the history of the Giants, that's the only Super
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Bowl they lost. Giants are actually 4-1 in Super Bowl history.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Bill Sims won, Hoss Dettler won, Eli Manning won twice,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: but Kerry Collins got his clock cleaned by the Baltimore Ravens.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: But the NFL still repaid the Giants by giving them
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the first Monday night game of the year the next season,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: and that was September 10, 2001, in Denver. where Brian
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Greasy and the Broncos just hammered the Giants, killed them.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: So I'm in the studio with Don and Charles talking
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: about the game, and I'm looking across the glass, and
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: who's across the glass? Not Bernard, my late great partner,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: God rest his soul, because you folks may have forgotten,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: but on this day 25 years ago, it was Election Day,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: primary for mayor, and Bernard was on the streets, on
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: 96th Street and Broadway, to be exact, talking to New
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Yorkers about the election. So in Bernard's place in the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: studio that morning was the man who ran WFAN for decades,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: the great Mark Chernoff. And who was next to Mark Chernoff?
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: The same man that was next to Bernie every morning
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: for almost 30 years for Imus, Lou Ruffino. So I
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: remember vividly looking at the other side of the glass
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: when all of this started happening and seeing Lou. And
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: here we are 25 years later. Imus is gone. Bernard
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: is gone. And I'm still looking at Lou. Isn't that unbelievable?
• 12:03
  Speaker 16: It is amazing how you put it. And I was just, like,
• 12:06
  Speaker 16: writing down on this sheet of paper. Like, you know,
• 12:09
  Speaker 16: I write the music down and other things and times.
• 12:13
  Speaker 16: And I write down, I wrote the date, like I
• 12:15
  Speaker 16: do a lot, 9-11-26. So I'm looking at it. And
• 12:20
  Speaker 16: then it just actually hits you that you're looking at.
• 12:24
  Speaker 16: And I went, I kind of did a similar thing
• 12:29
  Speaker 16: on that date 25 years ago. I was doing it
• 12:33
  Speaker 16: most mornings to keep track of some things and whatever
• 12:38
  Speaker 16: the boss would yell out at me and then or
• 12:40
  Speaker 16: songs and It had to be like 9-11-01, and now
• 12:44
  Speaker 16: today I'm writing 9-11-26, and it just stops you for
• 12:49
  Speaker 16: a second. It definitely stops you, and you really think.
• 12:53
  Speaker 16: And that was, for us, we were in the studio
• 12:56
  Speaker 16: all day. We were just there, and I remember it
• 13:01
  Speaker 16: was chaos, of course. So we were completely isolated. We
• 13:04
  Speaker 16: were in Astoria, but people were going out, coming back in,
• 13:07
  Speaker 16: reporting what's going on. We had three news channels going
• 13:10
  Speaker 16: up at once. Elmhurst Hospital, people were going over there
• 13:15
  Speaker 16: to give blood, and you couldn't even go in there
• 13:17
  Speaker 16: anymore because the line was too long.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: It was insane.
• 13:20
  Speaker 16: So I think I stayed behind the board until almost
• 13:23
  Speaker 16: 3 o'clock, and it was– you're just looking at it,
• 13:27
  Speaker 16: and you still can't believe it's that long ago and stuff,
• 13:31
  Speaker 16: you know.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Still feels like yesterday, though. Yeah, kind of.
• 13:35
  Speaker 17: 25 years.
• 13:35
  Speaker 16: I kind of agree with you. Like a lot– we
• 13:37
  Speaker 16: didn't– Did we, did we, was there payback? Was there any,
• 13:42
  Speaker 16: did we change anything? I don't, I just don't think.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Well, payback, we, you know, we started a war that,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: you know, Bernard was right. Went after Saddam Hussein in
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Iraq and he had nothing to do with 9-11. So
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: George Bush, his second term was a complete nightmare. We
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: know that because of events like that. You know, we've
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: killed a lot of really bad people over the last
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: 25 years around the world. even President Trump with Soleimani
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: and others. But the terrorists, they won that day. They
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: changed the world. And like I said, there's a terrorist
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: running New York City. He'll be there today, and he
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: may even shed a tear. He's a good actor. But
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: he doesn't care. You know, it's interesting, too. That morning,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: we all know, was such a beautiful day. Azure blue
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: sky and Temperature is even warmer than usual for that
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: time of year. It's gorgeous. And I told you, I
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: remember parking my car and walking into the building and
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: taking note of how beautiful it was. And then that
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: sky would be filled with blood not long after that.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: But you talk about how we were in the studio
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: till three o'clock because I miss stayed on all day
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: that day. The midday show back then on WFAN sports
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: talk show. was Jody McDonald and Susan Waldman. Don't forget,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: I took over two months after that for Susan. She
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: went to the Yes Network. And they did not air
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Susan and Jody. All they aired on WFAN was Imus
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: and Mike and the Mad Dog. Howard Stern that morning
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: stayed on for hours and hours. Sean Hannity really became
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: a star in this business because of that day. A
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: lot of people... made their bones that day and that week.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: When you talk about being stuck in the studios, at
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: the time, Danielle and I lived in Chelsea. No children.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: This was 2001. Our first child, Ava, was born in 2004.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: We had this little apartment. Louie was in there, like
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: 500 square feet on 21st Street between 8th and 9th Avenues,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: right in the heart of Chelsea. And I wanted to
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: get home. I called Danielle. She was working. in a
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: law firm, right across the street from the Empire State Building.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: And I figured, oh, my God, they've taken out the
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: World Trade Center, the Pentagon, that United Flight 93 that
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. I'm pretty sure that was headed
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: to the White House. Empire State Building has to be
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: on that list. I called Danielle. I said, get out.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Get out. And she did. And she exited the building
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: just in time to see the South Tower crumble. She
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: couldn't believe her eyes. She called me. She was crying
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: like Warner Wolf was basically in the open there. She
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: saw it. She was on the street, and she saw it.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: And then we made our way to the Upper East Side.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I told this story a couple of days ago. Paige Richmond,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: one of my wife's best friends still to this day,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: and her guy, Oren Port, I love him too. Paige
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: back then, sorry, Oren, was dating a guy named Mike,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Mike Murphy. And his brother worked at Canada Fitzgerald. So
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: we actually, somehow, she was by the Empire State Building.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I was in Astoria, Queens, and we met on the
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Upper East Side in Page's apartment, waiting all day with Michael,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: a boyfriend at the time, to hear from her brother,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: his brother, I should say. And his brother never called because,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: as we know, everybody at Canada Fitzgerald, including Howard Lutnick's brother, Gary, died.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: They were murdered. On that day. So that phone call
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: never came. I told her, you know, we left. And
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I remember distinctly going across the street from Paige's old
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: apartment and having dinner at a place called Jackson Hole.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: You know that place, Noam, right?
• 17:51
  Speaker 12: The hamburger place.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: That's right. And we had burgers. And then we walked
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: from 83rd and 2nd all the way down to 21st
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: and 8th. walked very, very close to the actual site.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Smoke was still billowing everywhere. You could still hear all
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: the whistles from the firefighters. It smelled like death. It
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: was horrible. And would you know that when I mentioned
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Jackson Hole the other day, I was in the gym
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: in Dallas two days ago, and the owner of Jackson
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Hole said, His son sent me a direct message on
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Instagram and said, my dad listens to you every day.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: He heard you mention our restaurant, that you ate in
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: our restaurant on 9-11, and we want to thank you.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know the person's name, but everybody listens to
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: this show, everybody. Right now, there's a huge audience. All
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: the 9-11 families that are making their way downtown are
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: listening to us. I'm sure George Pataki is listening. I
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: think Trump may be listening somewhere in Washington, D.C., on
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: his way to the Pentagon. I don't know. But certainly
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: on this day, this show is the one that you
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: all should be listening to. I know the 49ers beat
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: the Rams last night and the Mets and Yankees start
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: a big subway series tonight, but let's be honest. Today,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: sports just doesn't matter. Now, look, baseball did help New
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: York return to a semblance of of normalcy, anybody who
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: denies that wasn't paying attention. That Mike Piazza home run
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: from the Mets against the Atlanta Braves was maybe the
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: first time this city felt good about something after those attacks.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: John Franco, who may come on today, he was amazing.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Bobby Valentine and the Mets did a really good job.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: They turned Shea Stadium into a triage, but there were
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: no bodies because almost every victim that day was was
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: vaporized when you combine the temperature of the jet fuel
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: and the violence of the hit and the explosion there
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: were no bodies except for the folks that decided they
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: would rather jump out of a building on the 85th floor,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: then be burned alive by jet fuel. And for a
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: lot of us, me, I remember watching coverage all day
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: and hearing thumps, thump, thump. Rudy Giuliani was talking, or
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Bernard Carrick, God rest his soul, or Joe Esposito, God
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: rest his soul, or Pataki, and you'd hear a thump.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: And initially we had no idea what that was, and
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: then we found out Those were jumpers. That's how Father
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Michael Judge died that day. He was sitting right there
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: with Rudy. Somebody jumped, landed on Judge, and he died.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: The very next morning on September 12, 2001, the cover
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: of the New York Post was a picture of people,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: and they looked very, very young, jumping out of the building.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: And for you, Animals out there, and I'm sorry to
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: add Jim Broad to this list because I've loved Jimmy
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: for so many years. We talk about this day like
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: it was an inside job. You know, like the Alex
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Jones types. Inside job, and we knew about it, and
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Israel was happy about it. They didn't do it. And
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: there were no airplanes, and that was all a big charade.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: They found and spoke to a guy who saw the
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: detonation for the bomb's inside the Trade Center, for you
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: folks that continue to spew that garbage, not only do
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: you sound like an asshole, but you are doing such
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: a tremendous disservice and being so disrespectful to those poor
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: families that are grieving today and those beautiful souls who
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: went to work that morning and died the most horrific
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: death you could ever imagine. in your effort to prove
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: something ridiculous, you should be ashamed of yourself. And don't
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: tell me we want answers, we're just asking questions. No,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: you're despicable. You're gross. We know what happened that day.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: It's still happening. Radical Islam came to New York, came
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: to Washington, D.C., to take over this country, and they're
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: still doing it. Now, maybe a little more subtle, Mamdani, El-Sayed, Chevalier, Valdez, Nixon,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: all these horrible people, and they're horrible people. A little
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: more subtle than crashing planes into buildings, but they're still
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: doing it today, and mind you, just like 9-11, having success.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: They're winning. All of our efforts, Giovanni Galante, His wife
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: will forever be 29 years old. She was murdered in
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: the North Tower, I believe, on that morning. Nice man.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Lives on Staten Island, goes to Naples now. His wife
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: went to work. She's dead. Same thing with Charles Wolfe
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: and Jeanette Pick. Those are the three families we have
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: spoken to on this show, covering this day since July
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: the 6th. Nobody in New York City, nobody across the
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: country has spent more time talking about 9-11 than us
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: the last couple of months. He tried. Over 100,000 people. Sorry,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Sade Baranwad, Channel 7. That's not a select few. Sorry,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Governor Hijab Hochul. That's not a select few. That's a
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: lot of people. Over 100,000 signed it. They don't want
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: this mayor anywhere near that today. And don't tell me
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: don't get political. Seriously? Screw you. Those buildings aren't there
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: anymore because of politics. We are mourning the loss of
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of Americans in three different spots because
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: of politics. Don't tell me not to make it political. Now,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: if the family members want to say that, just like
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I talked about with the hostages after October 7th, they
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: can say whatever they want. Those people have a pass.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: But the rest of us? To watch a mayor who's
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: friends with Hassan Piker? Smiling selfies in the street with
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: 9-11 co-conspirators? The bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993?
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: The list goes on and on. I get nauseous talking
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: about it. He's their friend. He's their friend. And you
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: got politicians, Chuck Schumer, Kathy Hochul, making an argument. He
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: should be there. He's the mayor. Who cares who he is?
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: He was in Uganda. He wasn't even here. He's not
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: a New Yorker. Neither was Kathy Hochul. As Bill O'Reilly
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: pointed out yesterday, she's from Erie, Pennsylvania. She's not a
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: New Yorker. He's not a New Yorker. He was a
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: kid in Africa. He didn't cry that day like we do.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at him right now on New York One.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: They're showing a video. Mayor says New Yorkers have sacred
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: obligation to remember September 11th sacrifices. Sitting there, this mayor,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: who has proven time and time again, just by the
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: people he hangs out with, the people he respects, that
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: he couldn't care less. I was there that day, okay?
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I was on the air that day. I knew people
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: who died in those buildings. A couple of good buddies
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: in Windows on the World that morning. They had a big,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: big breakfast for stock traders, guys that worked down on
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Bond Street and other places. They didn't even work in
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: the World Trade Center. They were there for this big
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: breakfast that morning, and they were all murdered, all of them.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: You think Mom Donnie knew anybody in that building that day?
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. Hochul, I don't think so. He lied,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: made up a story about his auntie. He lied. He
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: used 9-11 as a political tool. Spit in the face
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: of the 3,000 that died. He didn't care. And you
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: people are going to make an argument he deserves to
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: be there because a bunch of young, stupid white girls
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: voted for him last November?
• 26:48
  Speaker 8: Really?
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Girls that weren't even born? I don't know the numbers
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: in front of me, but something says to me the
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: majority of morons that voted for Mamdani, they weren't even
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: born on 9-11. Or they were babies, little kids. He
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: doesn't deserve to be there. He's the mayor, so what?
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: Who cares?
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Go balance the budget. Keep breaking Jessica Tish's balls. Keep
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: our city safe. Make the billionaires miserable. Make the Jews
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: feel less safe. That's your job, Mom Donnie. You're very
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: good at all that. Very good. Take the supermarkets away
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: from John Katzmatidis. That's what he does. He's great at that.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: But there's no, there's nothing in his job description. There's
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: no moral obligation for this guy to be there. The
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: only mayor really that should be at that site today
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: is the man that was the mayor when these poor
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: people died, who did a spectacular job, and that's Rudy Giuliani.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: That's it. The only governor that should be there today,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: and again, he'll join me in about 30 minutes, is
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: the man who was the governor when those poor people died,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: and that's George Pataki. I don't need Hochul there. I
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: don't need Mamdani there, but they're going to be there.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: They're going to be there because they're both selfish people,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: And when you say, Sid, don't make it about politics,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: that's what they've done. Because he's the mayor. She's the governor.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: They should be there. No, they shouldn't. They're making it
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: about politics. Not me. If they were decent people, decent people,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: they would know that nobody wants them there. Very, very
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: small percentage of those broken families. Very small. Want those
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: two people there. Those are the facts. That's not what
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Channel 7 tells you because they're a bunch of filthy liars.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Wait for President Trump. He'll be on at 8.30 this morning.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: He's going to unveil a can of whoop-ass on Channel
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: 7 and these other stations who lied about the convention.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: That's all they do is lie. And they're lying about this.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: That's all they do is lie. And they're lying about this. Noam,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: what were you doing that morning again? I forget. I'm sorry.
• 29:19
  Speaker 12: I was on the air in a station in New Jersey,
• 29:22
  Speaker 12: outside the city.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Was anybody listening? What station was that?
• 29:26
  Speaker 12: Probably no. I could probably open up the window.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Was it 101.5?
• 29:30
  Speaker 12: No, no, no. The station's not even there anymore. It
• 29:33
  Speaker 12: was an oldies station. I did the morning show there.
• 29:37
  Speaker 12: But my wife had way more interest. stories. She worked
• 29:40
  Speaker 12: on Everybody Loves Raymond, the show Everybody Loves Raymond, and
• 29:44
  Speaker 12: she was with the cast. They were celebrating the 100th episode,
• 29:47
  Speaker 12: and they were about to go on the Rosie O'Donnell show.
• 29:50
  Speaker 12: I remember the Rosie O'Donnell show in Rock Center when
• 29:53
  Speaker 12: all the alarms went off, of course, and they thought,
• 29:56
  Speaker 12: like everything, that the Places like Rock Center would be
• 29:59
  Speaker 12: hit next, right? Institutions in New York City. So they
• 30:03
  Speaker 12: had to race everybody out of the building. And she
• 30:06
  Speaker 12: had to hang out with the cast. And it ended
• 30:07
  Speaker 12: up that Ray Romano and Brad Garrett, who were the
• 30:10
  Speaker 12: two stars, you know, two of the stars of that show,
• 30:12
  Speaker 12: they rent. They were so, you know, everybody wanted to
• 30:14
  Speaker 12: get back to family, right?
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: You just wanted to be with.
• 30:16
  Speaker 12: Your family that day. And so they were desperate to
• 30:18
  Speaker 12: get back to Los Angeles. But, of course, there were
• 30:20
  Speaker 12: no flights leaving that morning. So she rented them a
• 30:23
  Speaker 12: Winnebago hotel.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: No kidding.
• 30:25
  Speaker 12: They spent three days driving back from New York to
• 30:27
  Speaker 12: Los Angeles.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: I got an early morning text just now from our
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: dear friend Scott Lobato, who joined us in Dallas a
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: couple of days ago. And you'll remember, I basically asked
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: every one of our guests what they think about the
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: mayor being there. And the overwhelming majority said he shouldn't
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: be there, obviously. But Bruce Blakeman, who's going down there today,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: and Bruce Blakeman is not just a Nassau County executive.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: He's not just running for governor, but my brother Bruce
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Blakeman is a victim. His nephew, Tommy Juergens, his sister
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Linda's son, was murdered that day, killed that day. So
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman, when he goes down to ground zero this morning,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: doesn't only go down as a dignitary here in New
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: York City, but a man who lost his nephew, he's broken.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: His brother, too, Brad Blakeman, who's a terrific guy. I
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: think Bo Dietl is going down there with Bruce Blakeman today,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: so that's terrific. But Bruce said on this show a
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, and he said it here first.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I know Fox News took credit. The New York Post
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: took credit. They always do that. Most of the good
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: quotes that happen in New York City happen here first.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Because I'm on early. And Bruce said what people should
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: do that morning, the families of the victims... Don't yell.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Don't scream. Something tells me somebody will. I don't know why,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: but I believe that even though everybody is going there,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: most of the people respecting the dead, that somebody is
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: going to yell and scream. I feel that way. Ma'am,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: hopefully I'm wrong. But what Bruce said was, and Lomato
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: just texted me to remind me, the best way to
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: show your ire, your disappointment with the mayor, if you're
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: really upset that he's there today, turn your back on him.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: We saw the cops do the same thing with Bill
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: de Blasio years and years ago, another crappy mayor. Oh,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: de Blasio looks like Rudy Giuliani compared to this guy.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Turn your backs on him. Don't yell. Don't scream. Don't
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: threaten to punch him in the face like I do
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: at least twice a week. Just turn your backs on him.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: That is a peaceful protest. Or you can do nothing
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: and just stand there as if you want him there.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: And I'm sorry, that's embarrassing. It just is. So thank
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: you to Scott Lobato for reminding me about that. What
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: time does this whole thing kick off this morning, though?
• 32:59
  Speaker 12: Well, you know, the ringing of the bells, and then
• 33:02
  Speaker 12: you have the moments of silence. There's going to be
• 33:05
  Speaker 12: seven moments of silence. Normally there's six, but they've added
• 33:08
  Speaker 12: a seventh, because so many, as you talk about this
• 33:12
  Speaker 12: tragedy that has legs, unfortunately, some 9,000 people have died
• 33:17
  Speaker 12: of all different kinds of 9-11-related illnesses recently. since the
• 33:21
  Speaker 12: 9-11 attacks. In fact, yesterday, this guy came up to
• 33:24
  Speaker 12: me in the parking lot. It was at Trader Joe's
• 33:26
  Speaker 12: in Hoboken. And he came up to just say that
• 33:29
  Speaker 12: he loves the show. And then he told me that
• 33:32
  Speaker 12: he had actually got prostate cancer, and he was convinced
• 33:36
  Speaker 12: it was from his time down covering the event. He
• 33:39
  Speaker 12: was a cameraman for Fox News. And so at that time,
• 33:42
  Speaker 12: they were putting people up in hotels down there because
• 33:44
  Speaker 12: they wanted them to be there 24 hours a day
• 33:47
  Speaker 12: so they could cover the aftermath. So he was there
• 33:49
  Speaker 12: for weeks on end. And he said there was no
• 33:51
  Speaker 12: history of prostate cancer in his family whatsoever. So he's
• 33:55
  Speaker 12: convinced that's what it's from. And I begged him to
• 33:59
  Speaker 12: do this. He's not in the World Trade Center health program,
• 34:02
  Speaker 12: which will pay for these people to see doctors and
• 34:05
  Speaker 12: battle these issues that people are battling.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: You're talking about the compensation fund. Yeah. But we had
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Michael Barish on this show yesterday, and we deal– With
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: one firm. There's a lot of them out there. I
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: know that. But we deal with Barish and McGarry, specifically
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Michael Barish.
• 34:19
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: And if you were down there and you've been diagnosed
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: with cancer or, God forbid, you lost somebody, somebody died,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: odds are that is a direct result of that morning.
• 34:30
  Speaker 12: And you don't have to wait. That's the thing, is
• 34:31
  Speaker 12: you need to enroll anyway. Don't wait until you're sick.
• 34:35
  Speaker 12: And there's still time to do it. There's 95,000 people
• 34:38
  Speaker 12: in the World Trade Center health program now. Not all
• 34:41
  Speaker 12: of them are sick. There are people that are worried
• 34:42
  Speaker 12: they may because they were down, they lived in the area,
• 34:44
  Speaker 12: they worked in the area, or they worked on the
• 34:46
  Speaker 12: pile in the aftermath. And so you need to be
• 34:49
  Speaker 12: in the program because at some point they'll cut that
• 34:50
  Speaker 12: program off from future people getting in. And so I
• 34:53
  Speaker 12: was begging this guy. His name was Paul. I'm sure
• 34:54
  Speaker 12: he's listening now. I said, you've got to get in it.
• 34:57
  Speaker 12: If you battled successfully against prostate cancer, I worry what
• 35:00
  Speaker 12: else may happen to you. Get in it so you
• 35:02
  Speaker 12: don't bankrupt your family.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Right. That's good advice. I believe the seven moments of silence,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: and we'll do them here a couple. First one, of course,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: comes at 8.46 a.m. You heard the audio, it's chilling,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: of Mohammed Atta telling the people on the plane, sit down,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: be quiet, it'll be okay. Of course, you knew that
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: was not going to be the case. That was 8.46 a.m.,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: American Airlines Flight 11. 17 minutes later, that plane hit
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: the North Tower. 17 minutes later at 9.03 a.m., Flight
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: 175 hit the South Tower. 34 minutes after that, at 9.37 a.m.,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Flight 77 slammed into the Pentagon, where President Trump will
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: be this morning. And just two minutes after that flight
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: hit the Pentagon, I'm sorry, 22 minutes after that, at 9.59
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: that morning, the South Tower collapsed. Just three minutes after
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: the South Tower collapsed, at 10.02 that morning, United Flight
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: 93 crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. And 26
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: minutes after that flight crashed at 10.28 is when the
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: North Tower collapsed. Frank Siller has been on Fox News
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: for days. His brother, Stephen Siller, firefighter, died that morning.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: So heroic. And now we've got tunnel to towers. That's
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: the good news. And they've been bringing this steel beam
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: across the nation that they took from the actual World
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Trade Center. And they had it in D.C. about two
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: days ago. President Trump was there. They did a whole
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: big Frank will join me this morning. He does every year,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: which is a huge honor. But they did take a
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: piece of that building. And then you remember that, I'm
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: not even sure what it is. It looks like a globe,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: at least the shape of it, that was outside the
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Royal Trade Center. And now it's in Battery Park. You
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about, Norm? I don't know what
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: that is, that piece of metal. I don't know. I
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: do remember vividly, though, Boomer Esiason. I know he's on
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: up against me right now on WFAN, and that's fine.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: I'm going to kick his ass this morning. But he's great.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Boomer's great. He's in the Hall of Fame and big-time
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: quarterback and a great New Yorker. I have nothing bad
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: to say about Boomer. And Boomer's offices were right by
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Canada Fitzgerald. And I remember Boomer taking a football helmet,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: his Cincinnati Bengal football helmet that was dented, obviously. but
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: wasn't destroyed. He was able to get that in the wreckage,
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: in the debris, and take that to WFAN. You remember that, Lou,
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: when he had the football helmet?
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: Yes, I do remember.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: That's vivid. It's somewhat I can remember. Crazy.
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Just crazy. So again, we've got a ton of great
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: guests stopping by this morning from Governor George Pataki, who
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: was just amazing that day and Days after, now he's suffering,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: it looks like, some post-9-11 illness. He'll be here. Frank Siller,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Tunnel to Towers. And, of course, a big one coming
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: up at 8.30 this morning, my friend, President Donald J. Trump,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: I believe his 10th visit with me on this program.
• 38:48
  Speaker 16: Someone who is amazing, I just got to say it,
• 38:51
  Speaker 16: Charles McCord was a superstar those days.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: He really was.
• 38:57
  Speaker 16: I have never seen he was as good. Like when
• 39:01
  Speaker 16: you were on it, which is almost every day, like
• 39:04
  Speaker 16: how great you can be.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: He delivered.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: He was amazing.
• 39:10
  Speaker 16: That does not come as a shock.
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: No.
• 39:12
  Speaker 16: Probably to most people who knew him and listened to him.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Like Walter Cronkite that day. He delivered the news. He
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: has a perfect tone.
• 39:19
  Speaker 16: And he knew how to deliver the events, which just–
• 39:24
  Speaker 16: devastating to everybody and he could surmise it watching the
• 39:28
  Speaker 16: screens and and taking in the information and delivering it
• 39:32
  Speaker 16: as just only Charles could do he was I was
• 39:36
  Speaker 16: super impressed by how he did with all the information
• 39:38
  Speaker 16: coming yeah and he was phenomenal I'll never forget it
• 39:43
  Speaker 16: he was as crazy as all of us were getting
• 39:46
  Speaker 16: that day he was completely calm and delivered the news.
• 39:53
  Speaker 16: And he sounded like, you.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Know, Charles. He was great. He was great that day.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to break with this. I mentioned
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: Howard Lutnick earlier, one of the big members of President
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Trump's current administration. And him and his brother, Gary, of course,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Kenneth Fitzgerald is theirs. Even my friend Bryn Jeffers, I'm
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: not sure if Bryn is listening now, but she works
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: for President Trump at the White House. And she's the
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: young lady who, Cute girl who gets us Tom Holman
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: all the time. She's in charge of booking guests for
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: the Trump administration. Her uncle, Paul Jeffers, worked at Canada Fitzgerald.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: He was murdered that day. So, Bryn, hope this gets
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: back to you. We're very, very sorry. But Howard was
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: never late. Never. Him and Gary were there first just
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: about every morning. But as you're about to find out,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: God spared Howard Lutnick that morning. He had a family responsibility.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: And by the time he showed up at the Trade Center,
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: it was already crumbling on fire and the plane, at
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: least one, maybe two, had already hit. So his life
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: was spared, unlike his brother and everybody else in Canada Fitzgerald.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: This was the day of, I believe. Connie Chung sat
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: down with a very young Howard Lutnick and talked about
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: his brother and how fortunate he was. that he didn't
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: die that day. Lewis, this is cut number 14, then
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: go to break.
• 41:20
  Speaker 18: Of the 1,000 Cantor employees at the Trade Center, only
• 41:24
  Speaker 18: 300 are accounted for at this time, and none was
• 41:27
  Speaker 18: at the building at that time. This immense human loss
• 41:31
  Speaker 18: has truly devastated the chairman and CEO, Howard Lutnick, whose
• 41:35
  Speaker 18: own brother is missing and presumed dead. You have suffered
• 41:40
  Speaker 18: such great professional and personal loss. What is the fate
• 41:46
  Speaker 18: of your brother?
• 41:48
  Speaker 19: Well, my brother was on the 103rd floor. He worked
• 41:53
  Speaker 19: for me, and he worked at Cantor. And he called
• 41:57
  Speaker 19: my sister just after the plane hit, and he told
• 42:01
  Speaker 19: her that.
• 42:04
  Speaker 19: He said that the smoke was pouring in. He was
• 42:07
  Speaker 19: stuck in a corner office. There was no way out,
• 42:09
  Speaker 19: and the.
• 42:09
  Speaker 20: Smoke was coming in, and he's not good, and things
• 42:12
  Speaker 20: are not good, and he's not going to make it.
• 42:14
  Speaker 19: And he just wanted to say that he loved her,
• 42:17
  Speaker 19: and he wanted to say goodbye and tell everyone that
• 42:22
  Speaker 19: he loved them. And then the phone went dead.
• 42:25
  Speaker 20: So while I'm the head of the company, I'm trying
• 42:28
  Speaker 20: to help my 700 employees who are missing their their
• 42:33
  Speaker 20: loved ones, I'm just another one of them.
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: Just another one of them.
• 42:38
  Speaker 18: Normally, you would have been in your office on which floor?
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: 105th floor.
• 42:44
  Speaker 18: On the 105th floor, and yet you didn't go in
• 42:47
  Speaker 18: early that morning because of a critical decision you made.
• 42:54
  Speaker 21: My little boy, I have a five-year-old, and it was
• 42:55
  Speaker 21: his first day of kindergarten at Har's Man, so I
• 42:59
  Speaker 21: took him for his first day at big boy school.
• 43:01
  Speaker 21: And because of that, I was late getting down to
• 43:05
  Speaker 21: the office. And therefore, I wasn't in the building. I
• 43:07
  Speaker 21: was on my way to the building.
• 43:10
  Speaker 18: And when you got to the building?
• 43:12
  Speaker 19: Well, I saw the building on fire, so I didn't
• 43:15
  Speaker 19: go in. But I stood at the door off of
• 43:20
  Speaker 19: Church Street where there were flags there. And I stood
• 43:23
  Speaker 19: at that door, and people were coming out. And I
• 43:25
  Speaker 19: was yelling at them to run and get out. and
• 43:29
  Speaker 19: there were police sort of around me yelling at people,
• 43:31
  Speaker 19: telling them to get out, and I would ask them
• 43:33
  Speaker 19: what floor they were coming from, what floor they were
• 43:34
  Speaker 19: coming from. Someone would say 55, and I'd scream, we
• 43:37
  Speaker 19: have 55, because I kept wanting to get up the
• 43:39
  Speaker 19: building and get.
• 43:40
  Speaker 12: People out of the building.
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: Because all your.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: Employees were on.
• 43:43
  Speaker 19: 101 to 105, the top floors of number one World
• 43:47
  Speaker 19: Trade Center, which they call now the North Tower.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: This guy really played an integral part that morning in
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: helping New York and this country return to a semblance
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: of normalcy. He was one of the great police commissioners
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: in this city's history, and he was there that morning
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: alongside Rudy Giuliani, my friend Bernard Carrick.
• 44:12
  Speaker 8: Mr.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Commissioner, how are you?
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Sid.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: How are you? I'm great. Nice to have you back.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: What were you doing, Bernie, exactly at the time? That
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: first plane hit at 846, and I was on the air,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: and What were you doing when that first plane hit?
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: And what were your initial thoughts? Most of us thought
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: it had to be a private jet, a small plane.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: We could never have imagined a commercial jet crashing into
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: the World Trade Center. Take me back to 845, literally
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: one minute before that first plane hit.
• 44:41
  Speaker 8: I was actually in my office, Sid, getting ready for
• 44:45
  Speaker 8: the day. And my chief of staff came in and
• 44:49
  Speaker 8: said that a plane just hit Tower 1. And I thought, actually.
• 44:54
  Speaker 8: I thought it was a twin-engine Cessna or something that
• 44:59
  Speaker 8: flies up and down the Hudson River. And I looked
• 45:04
  Speaker 8: up at a television monitor in my office, and I
• 45:10
  Speaker 8: could see the damage to the building. Walked into my
• 45:12
  Speaker 8: conference room, and I could see the damage to the tower,
• 45:16
  Speaker 8: which was only about a half a mile from my office.
• 45:19
  Speaker 8: And I realized... that the damage and devastation to the
• 45:22
  Speaker 8: building was far greater than any Cessna could have done.
• 45:27
  Speaker 8: I talked to the mayor, told him I was on
• 45:29
  Speaker 8: the way to the command center at 7 World Trade.
• 45:32
  Speaker 8: He was on the way downtown. We were going to
• 45:34
  Speaker 8: meet there. I got down there within seven or eight minutes,
• 45:38
  Speaker 8: and he showed up about three minutes before Cessna. or
• 45:46
  Speaker 8: three minutes after Tower 2 was hit by the second play.

  Speaker 22: career-high five runs during his rousing return to the majors.
• 46:12
  Speaker 22: The Yankees beat the Rockies 10-3 and tightened the AL
• 46:15
  Speaker 22: East race, completed that three-game sweep to move within three
• 46:17
  Speaker 22: games of Tampa Bay atop the division in four and
• 46:20
  Speaker 22: a half ahead of Boston for the first American League
• 46:22

  Speaker 22: will get the start for tonight's opener against the Mets.
• 46:42
  Speaker 22: Nolan McLean, first pitch from Yankee Stadium, scheduled for 7.05 p.m.
• 46:46
  Speaker 23: Mets were off last night.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: They're going to have a huge ceremony in the Bronx tonight.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: There was a while there where Randy Levine and the
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: Yankees thought that President Trump may come and maybe even
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: throw out the first pitch akin to George Bush in
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: the World Series. Yankees and Diamondbacks 2001. But, of course,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: the president will be at the Pentagon today. And talking
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: about Randy Levine, he will not be at the Met
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: Yankee game tonight because, first time I'm mentioning this this morning,
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: tonight begins Rosh Hashanah. Yes, sir. The Jewish New Year.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: So Randy Levine will be in synagogue. A lot of
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: us will not be at the gala tonight for WABC. No, sir.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: It's a lesson not so far. It's a huge one.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: This is the second biggest one next to Yom Kippur.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: So at any rate, big ceremony in the Bronx for
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: the Mets and Yankees. And there's a chance that either
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: John Franco or Mike Piazza will join us at some
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: point this morning.
• 47:39
  Speaker 23: That'd be great.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: That'd be great.
• 47:40
  Speaker 23: And Piazza, of course, with that huge 9-11 home run.
• 47:43
  Speaker 22: You might hear a little bit of that later on
• 47:46
  Speaker 22: to the football field, I should say, out in Melbourne, Australia.
• 47:49
  Speaker 22: 49ers beat up on the Rams last night, 27-7. Thought

• 48:36
  Speaker 1: A bunch of people actually sent me texts today. They said,
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: the show's been amazing. Your recollection is great. The memories,
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: the I miss stuff, and all the great guests. They said,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: but how many people figure out that your tone is
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: different today? It's a much more somber tone. It's, you know,
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: you're usually much more energetic and enthusiastic, and people are
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: going to think you're tired. Of course, I'm not tired.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: It I only slept two hours. It doesn't matter. I'm
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: a pro. That red light goes on. I perform. But
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: certain days require a different tone. This is not a
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: day to come on and yell and scream. Hey, how
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: about those Giants last night? Not a day for that.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: So I appreciate the folks who figured that out. The
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: rest of you are morons. Anyway, here he is. America's man.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: the man that on that day became the greatest politician
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: in the history of this country. And I mean that.
• 49:25
  Speaker 11: I love you.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: My dear friend, Rudy Giuliani. I mean that, Rudy. You did.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: It was just something.
• 49:30
  Speaker 11: I just like what you said.
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: True.
• 49:33
  Speaker 11: You're supposed to come on like Carvel the Clown, you know?
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, certain days go for a different tone.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: And admittedly, I have a bit of a somber tone today.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: But I tell you what, I really enjoyed having you
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: speak to Mike Piazza. I hope you enjoyed that.
• 49:48
  Speaker 11: I enjoyed it, too. An opportunity to thank him. I
• 49:52
  Speaker 11: should also thank the Mets. I mean, you know, they
• 49:53
  Speaker 11: put in over $ 10 million. And so did George Steinbrenner,
• 49:57
  Speaker 11: $ 10 million each. And they both gave me tremendous help.
• 50:01
  Speaker 11: With something people don't remember now, the Twin Towers Fund,
• 50:07
  Speaker 11: we raised $ 230 million.
• 50:09
  Speaker 13: Wow.
• 50:12
  Speaker 11: And gave every single penny to the widows and family
• 50:16
  Speaker 11: of the firefighters and police officers. The administrative money we
• 50:19
  Speaker 11: raised separately. And George and Fred paid for most of that.
• 50:26
  Speaker 11: The Mets gave me my offices. The Yankees gave us
• 50:29
  Speaker 11: a tremendous amount of our equipment. and helped us with
• 50:33
  Speaker 11: our fundraising. I would say, and they work together. to
• 50:39
  Speaker 11: get baseball to do things for us.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: And you know what's funny? You may remember there was
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: this huge battle. It was really more Bobby V. I
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: love Bobby, but he's crazy. More Bobby V than Torrey,
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: but Bobby V was like, hey, we were the better ones.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: It was us. It was the match, not the Yankees.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: And I think at one point Torrey finally got pissed off,
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: but there was a bit of a pissing match between
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: those two guys, if you remember.
• 51:00
  Speaker 11: There was. I would say, honestly, and you know I'm
• 51:03
  Speaker 11: a Yankee fan, they did different things somewhat, but very,
• 51:07
  Speaker 11: very closely. I'll give you an example. Paul O'Neill was
• 51:10
  Speaker 11: injured during that period. Wasn't traveling with the team. He
• 51:14
  Speaker 11: volunteered at our family center for three days, 12 hours
• 51:18
  Speaker 11: each day. Never told anybody. Mike was at the center
• 51:25
  Speaker 11: three times. I couldn't, honestly, Yankee fan, I couldn't tell
• 51:31
  Speaker 11: the difference.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: That was two years ago, me and America's mayor, Rudy Giuliani.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: Rudy will not be on this program today. I believe
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: he'll be on, though, with Sean Spicer on Sunday. But
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: I still love Rudy. I know there's a whole bunch
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: of mishigas between him and the station. I don't care.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: It means nothing to me. I love him. And, of course,
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: you all know how close I am with his son,
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Andrew Giuliani. I remember going to a museum, I think,
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: and I'm sitting there. My dear friend Mike Sullivan, Brennan
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: and Carr in Brooklyn, Sitting next to Jimmy Gandolfini, Mike,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: I think. The whole Sopranos cast, all that, you know,
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: Furio and Michael Imperioli and Stevie Sharippa. Tony, the late,
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: great Tony Sirico. Because my friend Ross Greenberg at HBO
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: put together this amazing documentary. It was called Nine Innings
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: from Ground Zero. And it centered around the World Series series.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: which took place about a month after 9-11 between the
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: New York Yankees and the Arizona Diamondbacks. And we all
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: know what happened. The Yankees lost. It was the only
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: bad play Mariano Rivera ever made in his remarkable Hall
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: of Fame career. And the Diamondbacks won the series. Yankees
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: had some unbelievable heroic moments. You may remember the Diamondbacks
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: had a closer name, Byung-Yung Kim.
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, that poor kid.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: Home run after home run. Jeter home run. Scott Brose's
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: home run. Tino Martinez home run.
• 53:09
  Speaker 4: Yikes.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: They killed him. Your point, Lou. Oh, my God. But
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: the Yankees still fell short. But this documentary goes into
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: the fans, the signs they brought to Yankee Stadium, the
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: love for the team and the city, the fear. We're
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: all still very, very afraid. The emotion was just incredibly high.
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: But what made that documentary so chilling was they went
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: out of their way to show you in New York City,
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: in the Bronx. It's not Gaza. All these officers with
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: long guns all over the city and metal detectors all
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: over Yankee Stadium. First time I experienced that at a
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: sporting event was 1990. My dad, my late dad, Harvey,
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: his friends, they're gone too. Sal Perigamo and Richie Rotundo.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: We all drove from New York City to Florida to
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: see my Giants take on the Buffalo Bills. Super Bowl XXV.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: You remember Scott Nord missed the field goal. Giants win.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: Unbelievable event. We actually drove to Tampa, excuse me, to Orlando,
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: and we stayed at Disney World for a day or two.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: Then that Sunday morning, Game day, we left very early
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: and went from Orlando to Tampa. That's where the game was.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: But the reason why there were metal detectors there that
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: day was, you may remember, that was the Gulf War.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: In fact, outside of Norwood missing the field goal, most
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: Giant fans enjoyed Whitney Houston's rendition that day. I was
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: sitting right there of the Star Spangled Banner as much
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: as the victory. So that was 1990. Little did we know,
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: 11 years after that, what would happen, which was 9-11.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: But that documentary, Nine Innings from Ground Zero, if you're
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: a baseball fan, don't have to be a Yankee fan,
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: even though they're all in there. Jeter, Brocious, O'Neal, all
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: of them. It is an amazing piece. You know, a
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: lot of the young kids today, they weren't born. My son, Gabriel,
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: he was born in 2008. My daughter Ava, she was
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: born in 2004. And I noticed that the smart kids,
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: my kids, they go out of their way to go
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: back and learn about these events. They want to know
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: why mommy and daddy are so upset today. Why my wife,
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: literally Danielle, as she exited her law firm right across
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: the street from the Empire State Building that morning, hit
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: her knees. And started to cry because she witnessed right
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: in front of her the South Tower crumble right before
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: her eyes. So these kids wanted to know what was
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: that like? What was those buildings and that day? And
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: it's hard to put it in words. And you can
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: only watch the video of airplanes hitting the buildings so
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: many times before it becomes really perverse and gross. It
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: really does. I can't keep watching that. It's enough. I
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: watch it probably once or twice every year just to
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: keep that memory fresh, but to watch it over and
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: over again. But these kids, they want to see what happened,
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: and they should know. You know, people get mad at
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: my Instagram page because I say that New York and
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: New Jersey, these schools do a terrible job when it
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: comes to history. They'll talk about... Civil rights and slavery
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: every day, every day. My son and daughter went to
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: school in New York, you son of a bitches. Don't
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: tell me what happens here. Every day, slavery and civil rights.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: They never discussed 9-11. They never discussed the Holocaust. They
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: had no idea what World War I or World War
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: II of Vietnam was all about. They had no idea.
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: No idea. It was white pandering teachers talking about slavery.
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: It hasn't changed. There are still plenty of schools in
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: New York that don't do it. Maybe it's on the
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: public school curriculum. I don't know. I had to pull
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: my kids out of public school. Put my kid in
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: a private school. Mind you, it's even worse. Even worse.
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: They don't teach them about anything. But some of these
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: kids are curious. And they're going to see a lot
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: of people very sad today. And how could you not
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: be sad? Let me play this for you. We played
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: this a couple of weeks ago. Her name was Brooke Jackman.
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: Not that it matters, but she was a really pretty
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: 23-year-old girl. She was on the 104th floor of the
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: North Tower when the plane hit. This is 64 seconds long. Obviously,
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: Brooke died that morning. She was murdered. This is Brooke Jackman,
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: her final day In that North Tower, 25 years ago today.
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: Cut number 12. Tuesday, 9, 17 a.m. Time for....
• 58:35
  Speaker 7: Night.
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: I don't think about any of it.
• 58:40
  Speaker 4: At all, but I'm.
• 58:45
  Speaker 15: Okay.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: I love you guys.
• 58:48
  Speaker 11: But I can't think that that happened between 1580 and.
• 58:53
  Speaker 4: When I went up into the window and opened the
• 58:55
  Speaker 4: front door.
• 58:59
  Speaker 24: I'm not talking to anyone.
• 59:04
  Speaker 11: I'm not talking to anyone.
• 59:06
  Speaker 10: I'm not talking to anyone.
• 59:08
  Speaker 4: I'm not talking to anyone.
• 59:00
  Speaker 24: Okay, I'm not telling you the address.
• 59:05
  Speaker 25: I'm going to tell you the address.
• 59:08
  Speaker 4: Okay, I know I'm on the 104th floor.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: I'm going to tell.
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: You the address.
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: On the northwest corner.
• 59:16
  Speaker 25: There's about 30 or 40 of us.
• 59:20
  Speaker 11: I don't know.
• 59:21
  Speaker 25: There's so many of us.
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: Paul Brook did make it. Here's one more. This lady's
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: name was Lauren Grand Colas. And she tried to call
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: her husband. He was sleeping. She was on United Flight 93,
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: which was hijacked and eventually crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: And she was calling to say goodbye to her husband.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: This is cut number 13.
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: Sid Rosenberg is going to be hosting the Giants pregame
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: show on Sunday at 11.30. In the morning, outside the
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: bubble at Giant Stadium, go out and beat the hell
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: out of Sid. You know, MSNBC has just flashed on
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: my screen. It looks like there is a plane that's
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: crashed into the World Trade Center.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 25: Honey, are you there?
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 4: Back?
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 25: Pick up, sweetie. Okay, well, I just wanted to tell
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 25: you I love you. We're having a little problem on
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 25: the plane. I'm totally fine. I just love you more
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 25: than anything. Just know that. And, you know, I'm comfortable
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 25: and I'm okay for now. Just a little problem. So, well,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 25: I just love you. Please tell my family I love them, too.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 4: Hi, honey.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: So when you hear those phone calls, it brings back
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: just how horrible that day was, and it was. I
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: do want to play this one more time, too, after
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: the planes hit 8.46 a.m. We'll have a moment of
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: silence for that this morning. President Trump will be on
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: the show. I know you're all tuning in for that,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: as you should. But the first plane hit at 8.46.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: That hit the North Tower. The South Tower was hit
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: 17 minutes later at 9.03. And the first tower to
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: crumble was the South Tower at exactly 9.59. The second tower,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: the North Tower, collapsed at 10.28. And at about 10.30
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: that morning, the amazing sports guy, Warner Wolfe, who lived
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: right by those buildings, called into Imus to say, All gone.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: It's all gone. Warner Wolf Lewis, cut number five.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 6: It's gone.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 4: It's gone.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 6: It collapsed. It's gone.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 4: It's not there.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: The whole tower.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 8: The whole tower.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 4: It's gone. There's only one tower.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, God.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 6: This is horrible.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 4: It's gone.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 6: It's not there. It's like it disappeared.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 4: It just collapsed.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: How close are you to that, Warner?
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 6: I'm looking straight at it.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: Good Lord. I'm just.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 11: I can't believe what I'm seeing.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 10: I can't believe it.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: I want you all to know that.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 17: America today is on mended knee in prayer for the
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 17: people whose lives were lost here, for the workers who
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 17: work here, for the families who mourn.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 24: This nation stands with the good people of New York
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 24: City and New Jersey and Connecticut as we mourn the
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 24: loss of thousands of our citizens.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: I can hear you. I can hear you. The rest
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: of the world hears you. And the people.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 24: And the people who knocked.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: These buildings down will hear all of us soon.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: I think his approval rating that day was 98 percent.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: He was brilliant that day. He really was. It ended
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: so ugly, of course, with the Iraq conflict and Didn't
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: go well, but for a while there, George Bush was terrific.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: He's going to be here, you know, in New York
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: at Ground Zero this morning. Big list of dignitaries, including
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: four past presidents. Bill Clinton, the aforementioned 43, George Bush,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: Barack Obama, and Joe Biden. Although someone's got to tell
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: Joe that he's here this morning. My friend, President Trump,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: who will join me on this program. President Trump coming
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: on with me. Special 9-11 coming up in 38 minutes.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: He's in Washington, D.C. at the Pentagon. Also, the vice president, though, J.D. Vance,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: he will be here in New York this morning. So, Trump,
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: you will join me at 8.30 this morning in D.C.,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: but the vice president, J.D. Vance, who told all the
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: unhappy Mexicans, go home if you don't like it here,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: in Dallas last night, he'll be downtown. There was one
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: firefighter in particular, And we love, I guess the number
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: is 343 that died. One that really didn't die in vain.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: The job his family has done since Stephen Siller died
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: heroically and tragically that day. Is one that you can't
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: even do a movie. I guess you can write a
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: book about it. I know Frank Siller, his memoir is
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: out now. But the job that Frank and his family
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: have done in remembering Stephen Siller and all the firefighters
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: and Cops and first responders and civilians that died that
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: day could never really be put in words. It's the
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: greatest charity anywhere in the world. What they do for
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: families of first responders who have been killed, catastrophically injured veterans,
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: smart homes and paying off mortgages. And I know Frank
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: hears this all the time, but good luck finding a
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: better soul than Frank Siller. He's just a beautiful man.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: And I make sure he's on this show every 9-11.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: And he's joining me right now. I imagine he's down
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: by the Freedom Tower. This is Frank Siller, the man
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: who started Tunnel to Towers. Frank, good morning, pal. How
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: are you?
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Sid.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 10: Sad day, to say the least. Can't believe it's 25 years.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 10: My brother made that horror run through the Brooklyn Battery
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 10: Tunnel with his fire gear on his back. And so
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 10: many other good souls died that day.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 11: Heroes, you know, that.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 10: They had to know that they were almost certain to die,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 10: and they still went there and did what they did.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 10: And it's just an incredible act of love that so
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 10: many did. And for me to lose my youngest brother,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 10: he was a father of five. It's crushing. But we're
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 10: down here, of course, at Ground Zero. And we walked
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 10: through the tunnel early this morning with a piece of steel.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 10: from the South Tower that we brought all around the
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 10: United States. His children were with us, with my kids,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 10: my grandkids. You know, we had a lot of sellers
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 10: going through there this morning walking with that piece of steel.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 10: They're grown up now.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 4: They're married.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 10: Some are married. Some are having kids. And so life
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 10: has changed, for sure. But you never really get over
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 10: the loss that we had.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: I'm sure. And I saw the beautiful presentation and ceremony
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: you guys had with the president a couple of days
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: ago in Washington, D.C., when we first saw that piece
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: of steel.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it was unbelievable. He was so gracious, so magnanimous.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 10: He and I had met him at the Oval Office.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 10: And he says, you know, Frank, what do you what
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 10: can I do for you? And I said, I just
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 10: all I want, Mr. President, I want to bring a
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 10: piece of steel to the White House. because America has
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 10: to remember what happened 25 years ago. I'd like to
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 10: bring it a couple days before we bring it up
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 10: to ground zero on 9-11 when I'm going to walk
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 10: through with it. And he graciously reaches across the Resolute desk,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 10: shakes my hand, and says, yes, no problem, Frank, we're
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 10: going to get it done. So he was great. It
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 10: brought so many people together. I mean, there was 120
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 10: different outlets there that were.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 10: You know, that came and covered it. So, you know,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 10: mission accomplished. I want people to wake up and remember
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 10: what happened 25 years ago. A third of the country
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 10: wasn't even born. There's others that were and are losing
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 10: sight of it. And we can't let that happen. And
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 10: that's what that steel represented, a tremendous sacrifice and to
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 10: have it at the White House for him to speak
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 10: and be there with me, it was, I'll never forget it.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's great. You know, give me, if you will,
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: I know this is the painful part of the conversation,
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: but again, your brother, Stephen Siller, is the motivation behind
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: this amazing charity. I know that you do a lot
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: of the work, Frank, but your whole family gets involved
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: and helps you out with this. When was the last
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: time you did speak to Stephen before he died that day?
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 10: I spoke to him the day before. We went for lunch.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 10: We were at a place called Toto's on Staten Island
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 10: where my business was. He was in business with me. me,
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 10: besides being a firefighter. You know, firefighters have to work
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 10: two jobs. But he's been in business with me since
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 10: he was 15 years old. He saw the work with me.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 10: You know, people, your listeners, just to remind them that
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 10: my parents died when he was a little boy. So
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 10: we raised him. He was much younger than all his
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 10: older six siblings.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 4: And We raised him.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 10: He was as much a son to us as he
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 10: was a brother. And, you know, so we went to
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 10: lunch the day before to talk about business. We said
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 10: we're going to talk about business. But what we were
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 10: really talking about was golf the next day. We're going
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 10: to play golf. The four brothers, we're going to play golf. And,
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 10: you know, where we're going to go, what time we're
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 10: going to meet. He said, first of all, I'm leaving
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 10: right from work. He said, I had the night tour.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 10: He says, you know, I get off at 8 o'clock.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 10: I'll get to your house, you know, at so-and-so time,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 10: whatever it may be. And on his way home, on
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 10: the scanner that he heard, you know, that North Tower
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 10: was heading, he turned around and called his wife and
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 10: he said, I'll tell my brothers I'll try to catch
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 10: up with them later. And he was very, you know,
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 10: low-key and not upbeat like he normally was because he
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 10: knew the seriousness of it.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 4: Of, of, of what happened.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 10: And so I, we, but in, in this, in this, uh, breakfast,
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 10: lunch that we had together, the last words that we,
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 10: that we, uh, that we said was, um, I said,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 10: I'll see you tomorrow, brother.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 8: I love you.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 10: We hugged each other. You know how brothers, you clench
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 10: your hands and you pull each other in, you smack
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 10: each other on the back as hard as you can.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 10: As, you know, as brothers. And, you know, we both
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 10: did that and smacked each other. And he said, I
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 10: love you too. And, and, um, So it was very,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 10: thank you for asking that because I don't often say
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 10: that because I've not asked that question too often, to
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 10: be honest with.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: You, Sid.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 10: So you think tomorrow, you don't know what tomorrow brings.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 10: You just don't know what tomorrow brings.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: You know, and I'm glad I asked that question. I'm
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: glad you answered it so honestly and so beautifully. And
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: I'm sure your brother is very proud of you. Tell me,
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: Frank Siller, where you were, what you were doing the
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: moment you tunnel to towers was born. It came into
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: your mind. I got to do this for Stevie. We
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: got to make this happen. And how did you make
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: it happen? How did it actually start?
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 10: Well, uh, it wasn't long after nine 11 that, um,
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 10: that I said, uh, I asked my sister, Laura, I said, uh,
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 10: Sally is, you know, can we start a foundation, uh,
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 10: to honor Steven and what he did? And, um, And
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 10: she said, yeah. I said, listen, we're just going to
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 10: do really, we're not going to do a lot. We
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 10: just want to honor them. We start out, we just
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 10: want to do a little small.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 4: Acts of kindness.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 10: We're going to do $ 1, 000 scholarships for kids going from
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 10: the eighth grade to high school that lost a parent
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 10: or parents. And because my brother was, you know, a
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 10: parent of parents. And she said yes. And then I
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 10: went and talked to my siblings and said, Sally said
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 10: we could do this and let's do it. And we
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 10: sat and we said, well, all right, now what are
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 10: we going to do? You know, how are we going
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 10: to fund this thing? You know, and, you know, we
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 10: didn't know, you know, what from Shiawatra, you know. But
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 10: we had the love of my brother there. And we
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 10: wanted to do something, you know, just to honor him.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 10: And look, we honestly said the first 10 years we
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 10: weren't doing a lot. I mean, we're doing important things.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 10: Don't get me wrong. But the most important thing we're
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 10: doing was making sure we never forget. And financially, we
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 10: didn't have to raise a lot of money, but we
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 10: had to run every year. And, you know, to make
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 10: sure the banners of those who perished on 9-11, of
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 10: first responders, you know, people pay their respects and honor,
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 10: and then we celebrate their lives. So that was the
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 10: first thing, yes. But when the first quadruple amputee to
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 10: ever survive any war was from Staten Island, where Stephen
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 10: was born, where I was born, where the Silvers were born,
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 10: I went down to visit him at Walter Reed Army
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 10: Medical Center, and I asked him if we could build
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 10: him a house in Staten. And he humbly accepted, and
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 10: we built the first smart home in 2011. June 11,
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 10: 2011 is when we delivered the first smart home. So
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 10: up to then, the first 10 years, basically, we didn't
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 10: do mortgage-free homes. We didn't do it. But when I
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 10: met so many others in Walter Reed, I said, hey,
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 10: you know, if we're building for Brendan, we better build
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 10: for these others, other quadruples. There were triple amputees. And
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 10: I was at the St. George Theater for the 10th anniversary.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 4: Rudy was with us.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 10: Uh, we had John Voight was there.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 4: He was speaking.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 10: We had five for fighting singing. We talked about some
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 10: families that were lost, not about Steven, because Steven was
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 10: always talked about a lot. We talked about other families
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 10: and I was on the stage and I said, I
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 10: met 38 triple MPTs. Now we're going to build for them.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 10: So we, so now we have to raise like $ 40
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 10: million from raising a million dollars to $ 40 million is
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 10: a big jump, you know, and then, and you know,
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 10: said every time I open my mouth, I spend millions
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 10: of dollars. And I can't, I can't, we can't help it.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 10: You see these heroes. So this year, 343 mortgage-free homes
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 10: this year.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 4: 55 today.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 10: 55 today because I refuse, as a family, we refuse
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 10: to let evil, evil exist. We're going to triumph over
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 10: evil with goodness and kindness and And that's why we
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 10: did 55 today.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 8: 55 today.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 10: And 340, almost a house a day. Almost a house
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 10: a day. So that, you know, and we're proud. Over 2,000 houses, 27,500
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 10: homeless veterans off the street in the last three years.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 10: And now we promise scholarships to all these kids on
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 10: a line of duty that, you know, that lost their
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 10: mom or dad. protecting us that we're going to pay
• 1:14:57

  Speaker 1: Wow. Frank, you're an amazing man. I know that scholarship
• 1:15:17

• 1:15:44
  Speaker 10: the pictures of all those who died for us. And
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 10: then we celebrate their lives and have a big party.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 10: The miracle of the loaves and fishes.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 4: We feed them all.

• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: got to run Frank Siller, but in the final 60
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: seconds or 30 seconds, I'm going to assume that Stephen Siller,
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: your brother, is listening right now. What is the message
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: you want to send your brother on this 25-year commemoration?

  Speaker 10: Stephen, your children are phenomenal. Your wife is doing phenomenal.

  Speaker 10: know you are proud of him and you're going to
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 10: be a grandfather soon. And, and it's, uh, I know
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 10: it would be the happiest day in your life. If

  Speaker 8: Bye-bye.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: Frank Siller, right there. The man who started Tunnel to Towers,
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: inspired by his courageous brother, FDNY firefighter, Stephen Siller. We'll
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: take a short break. Don't forget, coming up in about
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: 25 minutes, doesn't get bigger than this, the President of
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: the United States. He's been on this show many, many times.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure at this point that Trump has done
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: my radio show more than any other radio host in
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: the country. over the last couple of years, I'm 100%
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: sure of that. But I really wanted him on on
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: this day and he making it happen for me. So
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: we'll talk to President Trump coming up in about 24
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: minutes as we continue to commemorate the most tragic and
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: really saddest day in the history of our city and
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: our country. Today is 9-11, 25 years later.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: Today happens to be the 25-year commemoration of 9-11. We've
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: been doing it all morning long. We started this two
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: months ago before anybody else. And I asked President Trump
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: to do me a favor. Please come on this day.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: He's not here. He's in Washington, D.C. The Vice President, J.D. Vance,
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: is here. And the President basically said, anything for you, Sid,
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: on New York.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: When I think of the great New Yorkers, really when
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: I think of the most consequential, influential, important people in
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: the history of this country, folks, I'm not talking about
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: just the presidency. You guys know I really believe in
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: my heart that presidency. J. Trump is the best president
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: of all time. No disrespect to Abe Lincoln or George
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: Washington or Ronald Reagan. I just think Trump is the best.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: But above and beyond the presidency, I mean, has there
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: been a more important figure than President Trump? And I
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: got to tell you, it's Friday, but I spent the
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: last two days in Dallas and I watched President Trump.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: I was only about 100 feet away from him. I
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: was standing there, too, with Hannity and Cruz for a while.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: That speech he made on Wednesday night. And I think
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: I heard on our own station them talking about empty seats.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: Place wasn't sold out. Take it from me. I was
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: on the floor, okay? There wasn't any empty seats. They
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: had thousands of people standing outside like they did at
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden where I spoke a couple of years ago.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: Nine days before President Trump won again. There were no
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: empty seats. The passion went through the roof and President
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: Trump once again was at his all-time best. So congratulations, Mr. President.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: What a great couple of days in Dallas.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 4: Well, thank you. And there were no empty seats. We
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 4: had 25,000 people there and We had at least 10
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 4: or 12 or 15,000 standing outside. And I think I
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 4: heard on your station there was smattering of empty seats.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 4: These people are sick. There's something wrong with them. There
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 4: was no empty seat. I actually joked. I said, you know,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 4: if you go up and go to the bathroom, come
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 4: back quickly because they'll take a picture of an empty seat.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 4: And they'll say that the place wasn't full. No, they're terrible.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 4: It's the fake news. It's just absolutely terrible. And I
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 4: shouldn't say it because I'm on ABC, but I'm on
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 4: the John Cassimatidis ABC. That's different. But ABC is among
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 4: the worst. They are so bad. They are so dishonest
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 4: and untrustworthy. So it's too bad. But I'll tell you,
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 4: that was a great event. And I think we're going
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 4: to do very well. I think you're going to see things.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 4: You know, I did a good speech for Lindsey Graham's sister, Darlene,
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 4: she was not leading by any means. She was losing
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 4: by quite a bit and did a speech. And she
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 4: ended up winning an election against a very professional politician,
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 4: you know, two weeks ago. It was pretty amazing. So
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 4: I think if I can... Go and do 30, 35
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 4: of these things. Not that I want to. I will
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 4: tell you. Maybe I'll let you do a couple because
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 4: you could get the energy. You've been doing it for
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 4: a long time. That's why your ratings are so good.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 4: But if I can do 35, you know, it's all
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 4: about 35 races. It's five senators and 30 congressmen. So
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 4: those are the ones that are either tied, a little loss,
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 4: or a little win. In other words, a little bit up,
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 4: a little bit down, or tied. It's all about those
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 4: 30 people plus five senators. And if I can make
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 4: 35 stops in 30 days, that's a lot of work,
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 4: to be honest with you. But I did a four-month
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 4: job for myself. But it's easier when you're doing it
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 4: for yourself. Now I'm doing it for other people. But
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 4: I think we're going to do very well. I think so.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: So do I. You want the whole list, my friend here.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: Here you go. Associated Press, CNN, Newsweek, Wall Street Journal,
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: ABC News, NPR. all lied about empty seats in Dallas
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: a couple nights ago. They're all filthy liars. You know,
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: it's amazing.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 4: It's terrible. It's terrible that they can say it. You know,
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 4: it's terrible that they can say it. There wasn't an
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 4: empty seat. And not only that, you know, it was
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 4: the Dallas Mavericks Arena. All the boxes were filled, too,
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 4: you know, where the rich people are. But every box
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 4: had people in it. I looked. I made the speech,
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 4: and I always looked to see. I never have empty seats.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 4: And I looked, and it's just disgusting how horrible they are.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 4: They're just liars. And I don't mind if I had
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 4: empty seats. You know, the thing holds 25,000 people. Supposing
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 4: I had 22,000 or something. Nobody has ever had that.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 4: You know, when a president campaigns, Ronald Reagan got due
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 4: very well. He'd average 300 people at an event. You know,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 4: he'd go and have 300 people in a ballroom. But I,
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 4: you know, fill up every arena. But it just really...
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 4: It just, it sort of angers me, but it's just
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 4: so dishonest when they say empty seats. And you were there,
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 4: you saw it. You couldn't get into the arena. You know,
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 4: they couldn't even get in. So it's a terrible thing
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 4: that they're allowed to say. I'd love you to send
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 4: me that list that you just sent me.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: I'll text it to you.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 4: Because you're so crooked, every one of them.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: I'll text it to you.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 4: Nobody has any idea how dishonest the press is. You know,
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 4: because they're not a part of it. You know, they
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 4: read it and they believe it. But when you're a
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 4: part of it, you realize how they can lie and
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 4: change things. It's very bad, so bad for our country.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 4: But that's the way life is, and I'm proud of it.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 4: So I guess not everybody believes them. Go ahead, Sid.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: Well, thank God you're president because you've exposed all these people.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: One of the greatest things you've done in 10 years
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: besides save us is expose all these animals for what
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: they are, this horrible press. You know, you talked about
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: Lindsey's sister, though. I've got to say this, too. They say, Trump,
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, those candidates do okay. Do okay.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: Last I checked, the candidates you endorsed win 95% of
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: the time. And the candidates, okay, that have stabbed you
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: in the back, President Trump, over the last couple of months,
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: how did it go for Bill Cassidy in Louisiana? How
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: did it go for Thomas Massey in Kentucky? So you
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: are proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, if you
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: like them, they're going to win. If they screw you,
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: they're dead.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 8: So in the.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 4: In the races for the House and the Senate, which
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 4: are the ones I care about, 99%, exactly 99% just
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 4: came out.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 20: Wow.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 4: Almost everyone was. And as you know, I take on some.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 4: You know, I don't just endorse incumbents. I endorse a
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 4: lot of people. Like if you look at Cornyn and
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 4: if you look at Cassidy from Louisiana, if you look
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 4: at Tom Tillis, I got him out, and numerous others.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 4: You know, you take it on. People that have been
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 4: sitting there for 10 years, and they're senators, they're congressmen.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 4: Massey was a congressman. Nobody thought he could be beaten.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 4: He lost by 19 points. Got killed. So, you know,
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 4: so I'm proud of that. But they're bad people, you know.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 4: I just do it with bad people. And we have
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 4: bad people. We have this guy Massey. He only votes no.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 4: He's a Republican. He only votes no. We call him
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 4: Rand Paul Jr. But... I'm telling you, the guy, you
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 4: could have a vote on the most popular thing, voter ID.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 4: He actually voted no on voter ID. Think of it.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 4: He's a Republican who voted no. The Democrats vote no
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 4: because they want to cheat. You know, it's the only
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 4: way they can cheat. But it's pretty amazing. Politics is amazing.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 4: You meet some of the most corrupt, and you meet
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 4: some wonderful people, too, but you meet some of the
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 4: most corrupt people in the world.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, terrible people. Let's be honest. But you said also
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: Wednesday night, Mr. President, you go, I have to laugh,
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: talking about photo ID, you go, you don't want to
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: get Tim Scott mixed up with Scott Besant. I know
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: they look a lot alike.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 4: That's right. I'm trying to pick two opposites. I'd say
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 4: that's a pretty good. That was a pretty good pick.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: That was great. Listen, they don't want.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 4: To have the Democrats don't want to have photo ID.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 4: They don't want a photo because they want to some,
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 4: you know, an illegal immigrant to walk in and vote
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 4: or whatever. And but I use the term I use
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 4: the term I want Tim's picture so that we don't
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 4: get a mix up with Scott. But anyway, Tim made
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 4: a very good speech, by the way. He did. They
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 4: were very good.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: He was very good. They were all very, very good.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: There's no question.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 4: Are you going to be there?
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: The whole thing. The whole thing, yes.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 4: The whole thing. Oh, that's great.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 4: I'm very impressed.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: I love you. What do you mean? Wherever you are.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 4: If I weren't there, if I weren't president, and if
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 4: I weren't speaking, would you be there for the Republican Party,
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 4: or is that a stupid question?
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: Well, before you became president, the answer would have been,
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: that's a stupid question. Why would I want to be
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: in Dallas? It's 100 degrees, okay? But since you've won,
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: you've re-energized me. So now, like moving forward, for example.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: I'm not a politician, Mr. President. I'm not running for office.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: But I consider myself, because I'm crazy, okay? I consider
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: myself such an important MAGA Republican that even when you
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: are done, I'm going to cry that day. I'm going
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: to cry. When you are done, I feel like I
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: need to help the Republican Party stay in power.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 8: I do.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 4: That's good. And you should. They're good. They're a lot
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 4: of great people.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: A lot of great people. And look at what they've got.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 4: Look at what they've got.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: It's a joke.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 4: It's a joke. They'll destroy the country. That's why this
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 4: is such an important election. And, you know, your audience
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 4: probably knows as much as us because you have a
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 4: great audience and a smart one. And your ratings, I'm
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 4: telling this not for you, but for your audience, your
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 4: ratings are phenomenal. You are doing great. And I'd talk
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 4: to you even if you were down in the dumps
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 4: because we've been friends a lot. If you had three
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 4: people listening, I'd talk to you because you've been my
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 4: friend for a long time. We don't want to tell
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 4: them how long, right? We don't want to tell them.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: And you were with me when I wasn't getting big,
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: big ratings. But I will tell you this. Part of
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: the reason why I get big ratings is because of you,
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: to be honest. People love it when you're on. My
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: ratings go through the roof when you come on this program,
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: especially today. Iran and New York. Now, I've been playing
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: all week long, Mr. President, this clip. I think it
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: was Marvin Scott. Much of it was Channel 9 or
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: Channel 11. But not long after the towers crumbled on
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: this day. You called in to one of the TV.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 4: As soon as I was allowed to. You know, don't forget,
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 4: for a short period of time, you weren't allowed to
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 4: go anywhere near that. Nobody was. I mean, even the
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 4: police weren't going near it. It was, you know, a burning,
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 4: horrible sight. You know what I'm saying? But, no, I
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 4: was down there. And you have people that say I
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 4: never went there. It's just crazy. It's crazy. I believe
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 4: it was Marvin Scott was one of the people that
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 4: interviewed me. I was interviewed by many people, but I
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 4: went there with a whole big construction crew, maybe naively,
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 4: just to see if I could help. You know, when
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 4: you get down there and you have 100 guys and
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 4: you look, you got 25 stories. This thing was like
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 4: a 25-story building. It was 110. But when laying on
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 4: the ground, you look up, it was like a pyramid.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 4: It was just terrible to look at. And so you're
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 4: not going to be doing any much with 100 men.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 4: But they worked really hard for a number of days.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 4: And it was a great tribute to New York that
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 4: they were able to do such a good job so fast, really,
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 4: when you think about it, right? That was, that could still,
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 4: in some cities, I would still be laying there, would
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 4: still be laying. It was incredible, the job they did.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 4: A lot of credit goes to a lot of people.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 4: But no, I was there, and they continuously like to say,
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 4: like that maggot Hagerby, she's the worst reporter for the Times.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 4: I rarely speak to her, but she's like my biographer, right?
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 4: She writes like... And she just makes it up. She says,
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 4: President Trump is right now eating his breakfast. He's in
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 4: his room. He's there. She has no idea what I'm doing.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 4: And she just... It's not even leaks. It's... They make
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 4: up a story. Let's see. What could I say he's
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 4: doing right now? Right now, President Trump is... in the
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 4: East Room with the First Lady. You know, it's like, just,
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 4: you know, whatever comes to their mind. Remember John Lovitz,
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 4: the liar? Sure, sure. Where he'd go, yeah, yeah, I
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 4: went to, I went to the Wharton School of Business.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: That's a ticket, he would say.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 4: I'm a great business. Remember that?
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: He was funny.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 4: That's Maggie Hagerman. That's a lot of them. I call
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 4: it maggot. She's a maggot. But Maggie Hagerman, they are
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 4: so dishonest. But it did, it started, people are starting
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 4: They say, he never really went to the World Trade
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 4: Center site. And I mean, as soon as you're allowed to.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 4: I think now they're saying, well, we meant immediately as
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 4: the buildings were coming down. No, that I'll take a
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 4: pass on. I mean, you know, there was a period
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 4: of time. But you weren't allowed to illegally. That thing
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 4: was roped off. All of downtown Manhattan was roped off.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 4: But as soon, I was there as early as anybody
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 4: with a whole group of great patriots, really, including my
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 4: head of security, Matt Calmero, you know. And we were there.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 4: In fact, he's standing there right next to me. But
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 4: I was with a whole big group of people. We
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 4: were doing a job, and they all wanted to go.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 4: And we went down there. And who would think that, well,
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 4: you know, who would think that many years later, so
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 4: many years, look at the year, the special year it
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 4: is when you think 25 years, can you believe it?
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 4: But who would think that would be, first of all,
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 4: I'd be president. And who would think that they'd be
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 4: saying I wasn't there? Who would think that they would
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 4: say that? They say that, I can't imagine them. I
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 4: don't think they're saying about anybody else. Anybody else that
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 4: said they were there, you know, they'd say they were there.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 4: With me, I'd say they were there, but the difference is,
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 4: because of a certain notoriety, I had a lot of
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 4: people interviewing me, and one of them, what ever happened
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 4: to Marvin Scott, by the way, Sid? Is he still around?
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: He's still around. He's a Hall of Fame guy. He's
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: a sweet man. He's old now, very, very old, but
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: he's still around. You know, the other thing they're taking
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: the task for in New York, I gotta tell you this,
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: is why you're not going to be here today. You'll
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: be at the Pentagon, which last I checked, people were
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: murdered at the Pentagon, too, when you're the president. You're
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: in Washington, D.C. But they're like, ah, Trump's not coming
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: because they won't let him speak. So I said, okay.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 4: It's so terrible. First of all, I was there last
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 4: year or the year before. I was there numerous times.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 4: And you don't speak at the World Trade Center. You
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 4: don't speak. In other words, there are no speeches. They
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 4: ring the bell. But you don't speak. There are no speeches.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 4: And I'm not going to force myself. I speak enough.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 4: The last thing I want to do is speak. I
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 4: really don't need it for any reason. But what I'm doing,
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 4: what I am doing, is I'm going to the Pentagon,
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 4: where I am actually speaking. The Pentagon side is different.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 4: And they asked me to speak, and I'm going to speak.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 4: And I'd love to go to New York, but the
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 4: New York Times, the same maggot, Maga Tegerman. She's a
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 4: sick woman. She's sick. She's unattractive both inside and out.
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 4: And I say it. I couldn't care less. She's an
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 4: unattractive person. But, you know, well, they're just terrible people.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 4: They make a living off you. And people think that
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 4: they think they know everything. They don't. You shouldn't know anything.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 4: They write books. They write. I give them very little access.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 4: You know, the stupidest thing.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: So.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 4: A number of years ago, I let her and her
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 4: writer friend come in. And we took a picture in
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 4: the Oval Office. So she plays that picture. It's great.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 4: She plays so stupid. I shouldn't have done it. But,
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 4: you know, because she always says, I'm not. Well, here's
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 4: a picture. You know, it was taken like four years ago.
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 4: So it's terrible. But no, they say that the new
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 4: one is that I demanded to speak at the World
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 4: Trade Center. And when they wouldn't let me speak, I said,
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 4: I'm not going. It's just not true. I didn't demand
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 4: to speak. And I know that, in fact, if you look,
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 4: I think like about 10 or 12 years ago, they
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 4: changed the policy of speaking. They have no speeches. They
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 4: don't do speeches. And I'm sure if I wanted to speak,
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 4: they would have let me. I'm the president.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: I'm sure.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, to be honest with you, go a step further.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 4: But let's say I know the guys down there. They're
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 4: good people. I am sure that if I wanted to
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 4: speak as a president of the United States, it Maybe
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 4: as a developer, if I want to speak, they would
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 4: have said we'll pass.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 8: Of course.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 4: But I'm the president, and I helped them so much
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 4: with so much. If I wanted to speak, they would
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 4: have let me speak. I am 99% sure. I agree
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 4: with you. But she makes it like I demanded to speak,
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 4: and they told the president of the United States, you
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 4: cannot speak. I mean, think of how ridiculous that is.
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: That is ridiculous.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 4: And then they're calling the White House all the time
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 4: asking for help on everything. And I help them. We
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 4: know phonies and we get along and we're real people.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 4: But we know phonies.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: That's right. New Yorkers are like that. But I got
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: to ask you about one important thing about 9-11. So
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: our mutual friends also adore you. The Laura Loomers, the
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: Siggy Flickers, they love you. They said, you know, isn't
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: she great? They say, listen, we understand that communism is
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: an issue. Socialism is an issue. And I know you're
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: nice to the mayor. I love you to pieces, Mr. President.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: I hate the guy's guts. I hate his guts. I'm sorry.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: I really do. And he's going to be here today
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: with these poor families. They don't want him there. They
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: don't want him there. But they were saying to me,
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: they go, wait a second. Communism, yes. Socialism, yes. But
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: why isn't there more talk from the Republicans in Dallas
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: and around the country about the real issue? And they
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: believe it's radical Islam. And whether it's El-Sayed or Mamdani
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: or a bunch of these people, President.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 4: I see, yeah.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 4: I get it. I get it. You mean the communism
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 4: is fine to say. It is true. But you'd also
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 4: go the radical left. You remember I used to do
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 4: that all the time. I guess I got off it.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 4: I'm more into the word communism now. But certainly that
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 4: can be talked about. You know, if you look at London,
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 4: if you look at Paris, if you look at what's
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 4: going on, look at New York. It's, you know... It's
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 4: a different situation. A lot of problems. A lot of
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 4: problems going on, Sid. So that's what you mean. You
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 4: mean communism is fine to talk about, but you would
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 4: also say you could take it to a different level
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 4: than that, right? I would.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would add them all. Yeah, because it's out there. Because, look,
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: they're trying to change us like communism does and socialism.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: Thank God for you and Free Enterprise. I just spoke
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: to Kelly Loeffler yesterday. I love her, too. But, you know,
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: these people want to change our way, and they're the
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: ones responsible for for knocking down those buildings. That's why
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: we're here today, President Trump.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 4: But you know the amazing thing? The amazing thing is
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 4: that in Michigan, Dearborn, you know Dearborn. Oh, yeah. In Michigan,
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 4: I got like a vast majority of the Arab vote.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 4: Maybe I shouldn't tell you that. A vast majority of
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 4: the Arab vote. You know why? Because I create a
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 4: lot of jobs. I have a lot of jobs in
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 4: the auto industry. I win the auto industry. I win
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 4: a lot of industries. I win the Teamsters with Sean.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 4: You know, good old Sean. He's great. But I win
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 4: the Teamsters. I win all these votes.
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 10: And, you know, people, they work for the different.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 4: Unions, and I'm getting them jobs. You know, we have
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 4: more auto plants being built in our country right now
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 4: than we've ever had. even in its heyday many years ago.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 4: The numbers, and you saw last night me saying it,
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 4: over $ 20 trillion is being invested in the United States.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 4: And I guess, you know, so I won the Arab
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 4: vote in Michigan, which is, you know, never happened. Romney
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 4: got 2%, you know, as an example.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 4: And they're trying to figure out who they were. Yeah.
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 4: You know, nobody can figure out who the 2% were.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 8: But.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 4: But I got, you know, I won with, it wasn't
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 4: even close. I got a massive majority. Now, I was
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 4: running against Kamala. So, you know, that's not exactly the
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 4: toughest opponent, I would say, between Biden. I had two
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 4: of them. I had two weak ones as opposed to
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 4: one strong.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 11: One, I guess.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: Well, you beat her pretty strong. You beat Hillary. That
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: was pretty good, Mr.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 4: President. I beat Hillary. No, Hillary was strong. Hillary was smart.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 4: She was her own worst enemy. And she still hates
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 4: the hatred I once interviewed. Just a little while ago
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 4: on some crazy show, and the hatred is she still
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 4: hasn't gotten over the loss.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but she goes back and forth. She goes back
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: and forth. Sometimes I hear her say nice things about you.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Sometimes. Rarely, but she does. And Bill
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: likes it. Bill loves it.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 4: I think I'll invite her and Bill to the opening
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 4: of the ballroom.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: We're getting that done, right, Mr.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 8: President?
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: That's going to get done, right?
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 4: No, I won the case, and it's ahead of schedule.
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 4: It's under budget. ahead of schedule. And it's a $ 400
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 4: million gift. You know, they make it like I'm doing
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 4: a terrible thing. He's building a ballroom. And I'm building it, yeah,
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 4: because I'm a really good builder. It's going to be
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 4: the best. I build many ballrooms. And I know how
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 4: to build them, but this one is, you know, very,
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 4: in particular, very strong because of the drones and the
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 4: this and the that and bullets. You know, it's not
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 4: like your average ballroom. It's got glass. It's six inches
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 4: thick glass. But it's going to be beautiful, and it's
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 4: going to be the most beautiful of them all. It's
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 4: going to be probably the strongest building in Washington, D.C.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 4: It's going to be a very safe, very strong, very powerful,
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 4: drone-proof building. Somewhat missile-proof. It's hard to have anything be missile-proof.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 4: Missiles are a stage tougher. But it's going to be incredible. No,
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 4: but it's a gift. It's a gift, and they make
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 4: it sound like I'm doing something wrong.
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 4: It's crazy.
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: And you can't even enjoy it. It's only going to
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: be a romp.
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 4: I won't even be there then. Right. Because I'll be
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 4: there for six months, let's say. I'll finish it before
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 4: my term. But I'll be there for six months. Other
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 4: guys are going to be there for eight years.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: Right. So the question is, President Trump, will the guy
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: that's really going to enjoy that ballroom be J.D. Vance?
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: And look, you and I have a better than great relationship.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable, actually, because we're honest with each other. So
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: I was just in Las Vegas two weeks ago with
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: my first cousin, Norm Coleman, and Matt Brooks. And I
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: spoke at the Republican Jewish Coalition. And they decided to
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: have J.D. Vance as a keynote speaker. And I'm going
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: to tell you, Mr. President, there was a lot of
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: very unhappy people. Why? Because he's friends with Tucker Carlson.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: And look, the Jewish people don't like Tucker Carlson. Now, look,
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: you were friends with Tucker Carlson for many years, many years.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: And you decided months ago, maybe a year ago already,
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: that you're done with him. You banned him. J.D. comes
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: out and says, not going to do it. The guy's
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: my good friend. We're best friends. And I'm not going
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: to allow politics to dictate who my friends are. But
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: if he really wants to win in 2028, above and
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: beyond the Jews with Tucker Carlson, Tucker Carlson also called
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: you the Antichrist. So if I'm a Trump supporter and
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: I'm a Jew, J.D. Vance needs to be careful. That's
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: my advice for him.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, I've known Tucker Carlson for a long time,
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 4: and I've been on and off with him for years,
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 4: very much on and off with him. He's very inconsistent.
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 4: And maybe I am, but I will tell you, he's
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 4: very inconsistent. So I've been on and off. He is
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 4: very much a fair weather guy. Of course, I dumped
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 4: him a few months ago because I just felt it
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 4: was inappropriate. He was saying, Bad things, very bad things.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 4: Not so much about me, but about a lot of
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 4: other things that are taking place. And you understand that.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 4: He would hit somebody like Mark Levin, who I think
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 4: is fantastic, by the way. I don't know how you do.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: Very close.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 4: Mark Levin and others. And I just personally, I didn't
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 4: like it. But no, I've had a very checkered relationship.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 4: I would say that Tucker Carlson never liked me. I
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 4: did a lot for him in a way, but I
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 4: would say that he never, in other words, you know
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 4: with people you have chemistry, right? Like I have a
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 4: chemistry with you. People you have chemistry, sometimes you don't.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 4: And if you don't have it, there's not a damn
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 4: thing you can do about it. And Tucker and I
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 4: have had a very checkered relationship. The funny thing is,
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 4: he should think, he's got a thing about the war,
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 4: mostly with me, the war, but you have to understand,
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 4: Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. It's very simple. Now,
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 4: if you don't want to do what I'm doing, they
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 4: will have a nuclear weapon. If I didn't bomb the
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 4: hell out of them a year and a half ago
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 4: with the B-2 bombers, they would have a nuclear weapon
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 4: right now, and they would use it. Israel would be gone.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 4: The Middle East would be gone. You see that by
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 4: the fact that they dropped all those bombs. I mean,
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 4: the people were surprised. Saudi Arabia, they were all shocked
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 4: that They would have used a nuclear weapon instead of that,
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 4: and they would have been gone. If I didn't bring
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 4: in the B-2s, and if I didn't terminate the Barack
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 4: Hussein Obama JCPOA, you know, that's the agreement he gave,
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 4: which was a road to a nuclear weapon. He gave
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 4: them tens of billions of dollars, Obama. He thought he
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 4: could buy peace with them, and it was just the opposite.
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 4: They thought he was stupid, which he is. So, you know,
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 4: but a guy like Tucker... She'd love what I'm doing,
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 4: because I made America great again. Made it great. And
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 4: we did have to take a little divergent path, because
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 4: if you want to see something not be great, start
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 4: dropping nuclear weapons, nuclear bombs all over the place. I mean,
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 4: in theory, guys like him, and there are others too,
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 4: they should be very happy that I'm here. We have
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 4: the strongest stock market we've ever had. We have the
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 4: most money coming into it. We have over $ 20 trillion
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 4: coming into our country. No other country's ever had that much.
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 4: We're building factories all over the United States. Wait and
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 4: see what happens in a year when all these places
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 4: are open. And even the numbers you showed just two
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 4: days ago, 162,000, and they were expecting 25,000. I could
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 4: have told them that.
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: I know you could have. I know. So then with
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: all this good stuff going on, what the hell got
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: up Canada's butt? What's the matter with these people?
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 4: Well, look, Canada's ripped us off for many years. They're
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 4: the hardest people to do business with. They think they're entitled.
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 4: They should be a state. And if they were a state,
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 4: We'd have no problem. I'd let their automobile companies stay there.
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 4: But we're taking their automobile companies a lot of the
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 4: time because they put tariffs on them. Now, they played
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 4: the tariff game at a very high level for many
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 4: years until I came along because I said you can't
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 4: do that. They hurt our farmers very badly. They hurt
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 4: our businesses very badly. They wouldn't let you sell a
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 4: Gulfstream jet. Gulfstream makes their best private jets. They wouldn't
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 4: let a Gulfstream jet be sold because they have Bombardier.
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 4: That's a competitor to Gulfstream.
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 11: Good plane.
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 4: But they wouldn't let Gulfstream sell in Canada for like
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 4: nine years. And I heard about it by accident. I said,
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 4: what do you mean? Because a friend of mine couldn't
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 4: buy a Gulfstream in Canada because of some rule that
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 4: they had. And I said, well, wait a minute. We
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 4: let them buy Bombardier. So I immediately put a huge
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 4: tariff on Bombardier. And Carney, the prime minister, called up.
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 4: And he said, what's the problem? I said, for nine years,
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 4: you know what the problem is. I just found out
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 4: by accident because a friend of mine who was buying
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 4: a plane said he can't buy in Canada. They don't sell.
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 4: They weren't allowed to be sold. Gulf Streams, you know
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 4: all about Gulf Streams, right? Sure, sure, yeah. They're both
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 4: good planes. They're all good. Everything's good, but they wouldn't
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 4: allow them to sell. So they spent $ 70 million in
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 4: legal fees over a nine-year period, and they failed. I
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 4: got it done in 15 minutes. They took every restriction
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 4: off in 15 minutes. One phone call. That was the
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 4: end of it.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 23: Unbelievable.
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 4: All I'm doing is protecting American companies, but I have
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 4: an ability to do that. Think Joe Biden could have
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 4: done that?
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 8: No.
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 4: He didn't know he was alive. He didn't know he
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 4: was alive. We had a president, or her too. We
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 4: had a president who didn't know he was alive. We
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 4: had a border czar, Harris, who never spoke to the
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 4: border patrol. They're all friends of ours. The thing of it,
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 4: in four years, she didn't make one call. How's the
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 4: border doing? I used to call every day. How's the
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 4: border doing? How's it going today, Jose? We have great guys,
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 4: a lot of Hispanics, like 50, 60% Hispanics, they're great.
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 4: But she never made one call. She never made one visit,
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 4: not one visit in four years. And she's the border czar.
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 4: And you know what? The border looks like it. We
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 4: have 25 million people that poured into our country. And
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 4: right now, you know what you have? You have none.
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 4: We have none.
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: Zero.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 4: Zero.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 1: And then, you know, you've got to explain this.
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 4: The last 16 months, zero people have come into our southern.
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: Listen, Mark Wayne Mullins is doing a great job. I've
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 1: got to tell you, I love Tom Holman. I love
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 1: the guy so much. But yet, you know, while we're
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 1: in Dallas, you get this loser, J.B. Pritzker from Illinois.
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: He's a couple blocks away from us.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, real loser.
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: Loser. Tallarico, another loser.
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: So explain this to me. Our friend Bruce Blakeman is
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 1: running for governor in New York, and all Kathy Hochul
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: says is, Blakeman's negative says he's friends with Trump. Otherwise,
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 1: he's killing her in every single. Same thing with you. Like,
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 1: they hate you, but in the meantime, all of your
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 1: policies work, and your candidates are better. Why do they
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 1: have any success at all, based on what?
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 4: Well, you're talking about two people. Pritzker got thrown out
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 4: of his family business because he's incompetent. He's a rude guy.
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 4: And what he is, is he's like a stupid guy.
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 4: You know, I could fix his crime problem in one week.
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 4: I'd have our guys go in there, we'd fix it.
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 4: Do you know, last week, 28 people got shot, four
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 4: died in Chicago. Can you believe it?
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 15: No.
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 4: This guy, he's an incompetent guy, slob. But he lost weight.
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 4: I guess he took some kind of an injection. But
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 4: he lost weight. He looks skinnier. But he's meant to
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 4: be a fat pig. But he's... He's just a rude,
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 4: he's a very rude guy. You know, I had him
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 4: when I was president the first time. We had a
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 4: deal with him on COVID and he was the most
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 4: incompetent guy. He didn't understand anything. He's a dope. And
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 4: he wants to run for president. Family, family money. He
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 4: didn't make it, family money. And you know, it's going
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 4: to be very interesting because the family threw him out
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 4: of the business. I don't even think he gets along
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 4: with the family. But he wants to try and run
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 4: for president. He has zero Zero chance.
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 1: Zero.
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 4: Not even a little bit of a chance.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: So on the way out, I got to tell you this.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 1: I lived for a little while, President Trump, on Hanover Square, okay?
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: And my kids were babies. My daughter's now, she's 22.
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 1: She's back.
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 8: Here.
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: She's at UPenn, just so you know. President Trump, Warren Buffett,
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 1: Ava Rosenberg, all UPenn. How about that? So she's at UPenn.
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 1: And my son is about to go to college next year.
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 1: But they were babies. So my pharmacy, you ready for this?
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: Was a Duane Reade in 40 Wall Street. Your building.
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 1: That's closed. They closed it.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 4: So here's what happened. It was thriving, doing great. And
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 4: then about five, six years ago, they called us and
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 4: they said, people walk into the building and they empty
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 4: out the shelves and we're not allowed to do a
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 4: damn thing about it. And they put up glass all
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 4: over the place, said, you know, look, you're not in
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 4: that business, but can you imagine if every time somebody
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 4: wanted to buy a toothbrush or something, toothpaste or something,
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 4: you had to have a clerk go up and open
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 4: a glass door And take it out quickly. Take it out.
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 4: And they had a real problem with it. And they
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 4: do all over the city, you know. I think most
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 4: of those places now have glass, right? Aren't they covered
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 4: by glass?
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 1: All of them.
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know how you make money.
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 4: The expense of building it is so incredible, right? But
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 4: I don't know how you make money. How do you
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 4: make money like that? Anyway, they had a problem. Now,
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 4: what I understand from my son, I let my boy
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 4: Eric runs it. runs it very well. I think we're
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 4: going to get somebody back in there. It's a great space,
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 4: right opposite the New York Stock Exchange.
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 22: But think of it.
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 4: These stores are being robbed only in blue states. They're
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 4: not robbed in red states. Only in blue. In other words,
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 4: in Democrat-run cities where they walk into Chicago, they just
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 4: Take everything.
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 4: They walk in. I know. And the people stand back
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 4: and they let them take it.
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 6: What do you mean?
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 1: They don't do anything. There's a lady in New York.
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: This is unbelievable, President Trump. She made the argument last
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 1: week that these people have some type of a genetic
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 1: issue where they deserve, they deserve to take their stuff
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 1: because they're built that way. Now they've made it a
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 1: genetic issue that these people have a right to steal.
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 1: That's terrible.
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 4: It's a terrible thing. So you're right. There was a
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 4: Duane Reade beautiful store. I mean, they spent so much money.
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 4: They had a problem. I don't know. Maybe they won't
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 4: have the next one in. You know, it's such a
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 4: great location. But who would think that would have happened? Never.
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 1: It's such a beautiful building, too.
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 8: I love that.
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 4: It doesn't happen in Republican-run cities.
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 13: No.
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 4: It happens only in Democrat-run cities.
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 1: It doesn't happen in Miami. It doesn't happen in Nashville.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 5: No.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: No. So for the New Yorkers that are listening right now,
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 1: and you're everybody's favorite New Yorker, And, man, what you've
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 1: gone on to become. I mean, every New Yorker should
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 1: be proud of you. I know I am. And they're
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 1: struggling today. This is a difficult day. And you know
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: that because you were here with us 25 years ago.
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 1: What is your message to the people in New York
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 1: right now on this tragic day?
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 4: Well, just that I'm proud of them.
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 8: I love them.
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 4: I watched how fast that site got cleaned up. And
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you, there's no city in the world that
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 4: could have done that. You had to do it. You
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 4: had to get it done fast. And I'm not even
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 4: talking about the building process. That always takes a while.
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 4: But even that, they did a job. You know, my
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 4: proposal was to build the two identical buildings but make
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 4: them 10 stories taller. I would have done identical buildings,
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 4: two identical buildings. I would have made them 10 stories taller.
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 4: I thought that would have been a great thing, but
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 4: they decided they did it a different way. And it's fine. Look,
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 4: they got it rebuilt. You know, they did the four buildings,
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 4: four primary towers. I just say that you're great people.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 4: It's sad when you see not only that, when you
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 4: see what's happening with the city. They're taxing people out
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 4: of the city, people that don't want to leave. And
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 4: the city has to be clean. You know, in Washington, D.C.,
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 4: when I came, it was literally the crime capital of
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 4: the United States. Now we have virtually no crime. We
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 4: have virtually no— we don't play games. We have no crime.
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 4: I put the National Guard there. They're genius. They're brilliant.
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 4: They're unbelievable. They're tough as hell. And they don't stand
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 4: for anything. We moved 5,000 career criminals out. And I've
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 4: told you, 2% of the criminals, 2% of the people,
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 4: think of this. It's such a great thing because it's
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 4: so easy. 2% of the people. create 91% of the crime.
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 1: Unreal.
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 4: So you get rid of that 2%. You get rid
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 4: of 91% of your crime. And we did that. So Washington, D.C.,
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 4: our capital, is now clean, beautiful. We've done 82 fountains, monuments,
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 4: and statues. Cleaned them up. We had some vandalism at
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 4: the reflecting pool. Sleazebags went in there and they cut
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 4: it up. But that's being fixed and that'll be fixed
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 4: very soon. But think of it. We've taken almost every fountain. Sid,
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 4: they weren't used for 50 years. Fountains that weren't turned
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 4: on for 50, 60 years. And they were ridden with graffiti.
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 4: Graffiti all over them. Red, horrible. In some cases, it
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 4: goes deep into the marble. You know, sometimes you can't
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 4: do much with it. You have to shave the marble.
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 4: It's terrible to see. But it's such vandalism. And almost
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 4: nothing worked. And now it's one of the hottest places
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 4: anywhere in the country. Everyone wants to go there. The
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 4: parks are clean. The tents are gone. Everything is clean.
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 4: The crime is almost nonexistent. You know, we're down in crime, 82%.
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 4: And we'll be down even better than that with a
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 4: little more time. We're replacing grass on parks, you know,
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 4: grass that hasn't been changed in 100 years. You know,
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 4: grass is a life also, just like you do, Sid.
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 4: When you have 100-year-old grass, it's not pretty.
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 4: Anyway, so we're doing a real job. People are proud
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 4: of it.
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: Who's proud of it? By the way, you know, your
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 1: best argument for this, President Trump, do you know who's
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 1: given you credit for fixing Washington, D.C.? Somebody, if I
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 1: would have told you this five years ago, you would
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 1: have said I was nuts. Muriel Bowser.
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 4: Muriel Bowser.
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 1: Muriel Bowser.
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah. No, she has been given us a lot of credit,
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 4: and that's very nice. Now, we have a different mayor
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 4: coming in very shortly, and she's a radical left person,
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 4: and she's a hater. And if that happens, we're just
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 4: going to have to federalize Washington because we won't put
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 4: up with it.
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 4: And then we'll federalize it in an instant.
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: Good. You should do that. Okay, one more. Last one. Yesterday,
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: you honored Charlie Kirk. Erica was there. You love Charlie.
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 1: Do you think, President Trump, that Charlie Kirk would have
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 1: been president one day?
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 4: Maybe. Maybe. I mean, look, it's a very big thing.
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 4: So many people talk about it. You never know what happens, right?
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 4: But I can tell you, and he never spoke to
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 4: me about it, but you could see he has an ability.
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 4: He had an ability, in particular with young people. He
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 4: had a young army. Just get out and vote for me.
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 4: And we won it three times. You know that. We
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 4: won it three times. You know, I said that yesterday
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 4: at the speech. We won it three times. I drive
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 4: the crazy lefties crazy. But it's true. And now everyone
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 4: knows it because of all the facts and the figures
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 4: and everything else around. But it's disgraceful. Well, you know,
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 4: when they don't want voter ID, when they don't want
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 4: proof of citizenship, it's only for one reason, because they
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 4: want to cheat. I think that Charlie certainly would have
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 4: had a good chance of being president.
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 18: You know?
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 1: I tell you what, for anybody who wants to be president,
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 1: it ain't going to be easy because of you. I mean,
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 1: you really set the bar. I don't know. Like you said,
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 1: Wednesday night, we're going to have some fun tonight. And
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: I sat there and laughed literally for two hours while
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: you discussed some very serious topics, too. I couldn't love
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 1: you any more than I do President Trump. And thank
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 1: you for coming on on this important and really difficult
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 1: day for New Yorkers who all love you, too. Thank
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 1: you for the great job you're doing. And I do
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 1: think come November, we're going to have a big party
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 1: because we're going to win and win big. I believe that.
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 4: Well, we're going to be working, and you're right, it
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 4: is a monumental day, and you're a monumental figure, and
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 4: we appreciate it, and I'll see you soon. Keep up
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 4: the great work. You're really doing a great job, and
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 4: you are really doing well.
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 1: Thank you, buddy. There he is, the amazing President of
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 1: the United States. I love him. My friend Donald J.
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 1: Trump will take a short break. We'll come back on
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 1: this 9-11 commemoration. Thank you, President Donald J. Trump. I'll
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 1: be right back.
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 1: 9.03 when Flight 175 hit the South Tower. It was
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 1: at this time 25 years ago today that Flight 77
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 1: hit the Pentagon. President Trump sitting next to Melania right
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 1: now is about to speak. A third moment of silence
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 1: for the day. Flight 77 hit the Pentagon.
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 2: Podcast Network.
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 1: Some semblance of normalcy. And maybe at the very top
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 1: of the list was baseball. Maybe. Mike Piazza, that home run,
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 1: John Franco, Bobby Valentine with the Mets did, turning Shea
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 1: Stadium into a triage. As I mentioned earlier, not many bodies, none.
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 1: But the Mets, Fred Wilpon, Did a great job. Yankees, too. Steinbrenner,
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 1: great job. Guys like Paul O'Neill and Bernie Williams all
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 1: over the city helping out on their days off. And then,
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 1: of course, the Yankees... provided New York fans with almost
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 1: the ultimate thrill. It fell just short of the ultimate
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 1: thrill because the Yankees fell just short in that 2001
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 1: World Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 4: Terrible.
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 1: They lost that and.
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 23: Mariano, of all people, That damn bloop single, man.
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but Mariano made the bad throw to second base.
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 1: He did, yeah. Was the bloop single Tony Womack or Gonzalez?
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 1: He scored Tony Womack, though. Womack scored the run. It
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 1: was a good team. You know, they had Mark Grace.
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 1: They had Randy Johnson, Curt Schilling. That was a good team.
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 1: But in the end, it was still great for New
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 1: York to have the Yankees in the World Series, even though, again,
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 1: they lost. You know, that... That was not a kind
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: time to the Yanks. Joe Torre managed the Yankees to
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 1: six World Series. Six! And he won his first four.
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 1: Beat the Braves twice. Beat the Padres and the Mets.
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 1: He lost his last two. 2001 to the Diamondbacks. And
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 1: then again, a shocking 2003 loss to a very young
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 1: Florida Marlin baseball team. And if the Tory was gone,
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 1: Joe Girardi took over. He got the Yanks back to
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 1: the World Series in 2009, and they won it. They
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 1: beat the Phillies. Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, CeCe Sabathia, Johnny Damon,
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 1: great team. And that's the last time they won. 17
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 1: years ago. They've been back to the World Series. In fact,
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 1: just two years ago, they lost to the Dodgers. But
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 1: they haven't won one. Since 2009. They've actually lost their
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 1: last three World Series tries. Again, losing to Arizona, Florida,
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 1: and no, they won. They won in 2009. I'm sorry.
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 1: They won the last one, right? They beat the Phillies. Anyway,
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 1: the Yankees will play the Mets tonight.
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 23: They can make it up 25 years later.
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: They can. They're playing great baseball, 22 games over. 500.
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 1: They've shaved the Tampa Bay lead to just three games
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 1: inside the American League East. And they start this huge
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 1: subway series against the Mets later on tonight. But I
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 1: don't think baseball today is on anybody's mind.
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 23: No, absolutely not.
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 8: No.
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 23: Absolutely not. But it will be an emotional night tonight,
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 23: I'm sure.
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 1: It will be, yeah.
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 23: And you know Randy is going to do, and the
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 23: Yankees are going to do a great job.
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 1: He's not going to be there.
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 23: No, I know, but I'm sure he helped organize it.
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 1: Randy Levine is my Sandy Kovacs. He never misses a
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 1: home Yankee game ever, especially against the Mets. But Randy
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 1: Levine is going to be in synagogue tonight. And I
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 1: haven't mentioned this a lot today because we really have
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: dedicated this show to 9-11 and a very long interview
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 1: with President Trump. But tonight, Not only will the Yankees
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 1: host the Mets, not only will WABC have their beautiful
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 1: annual gala, but it is Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year,
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 1: which is why you're not going to see people like
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 1: me and Noam and other Jewish people in the city tonight.
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 1: It is the next eight, nine days between Rosh Hashanah
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 1: and Yom Kippur, the holiest time of the year.
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 4: For us.
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 1: So Randy Levine will not be at the Met Yankee
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 1: game tonight. But it will be a very emotional night
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 1: with a lot of ceremonies and all that. Where are
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 1: you going to be tonight, Justin?
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 23: I'm going up to my parents' house. We have a
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 23: nice dinner planned.
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 1: Nice. Yeah, it'll be great. You taking the girlfriend?
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: She's Jewish, right? Yeah. What about her family?
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 23: I'm going to go to her family's house tomorrow.
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. You're so married.
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 23: You are so married. It'll be a very nice weekend.
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that is nice. Good for you. Thank you.
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 23: Thank you.
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 1: I want to wish all of our listeners, our Jewish listeners,
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 1: and all my Christian friends, too, who are there for
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 1: me and the Jewish people every day. They really are.
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 1: Anti-Semitism is a huge issue in this city, huge, in
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: the tri-state area and around the country and around the world. But, man,
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 1: there are so many great Christians, many more great Christians.
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 1: And the idiots who hate on the Jews, just idiots,
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 1: just stupid. So I do want to thank them, too,
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 1: and Happy New Year to you, too. I know that
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 1: will be January 1st, but at any rate, we will
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 1: celebrate the new year tonight. I will not be watching
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 1: the Mets and the Yankees, but I guess I'll find
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 1: out tomorrow what happens. I didn't know that they stopped
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 1: that college football game last night. They walked off the
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 1: field after the third quarter. That was news to me.
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 23: Yeah, Noam broke the news to me this morning.
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. Miami was favored by 59. No one ever
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 1: lays 59. They were up by 70 after three quarters.
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 1: Actually covered. But I don't know if you get paid
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 1: in Vegas if they leave before the end of the game.
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 1: I think the clock has to hit zero.
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 23: That's a really good question.
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 1: To be an official bet.
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 23: That's a really good question.
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. But again, that.
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 1: In the big scheme of things, not important today.
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 16: Oh, my God. What a parade of degenerates gotten crazy
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 16: for that, probably.
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 1: Are you not allowed to watch the game?
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 16: Are you not allowed tonight?
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 1: You're not supposed to. It's Shabbos, too. Don't forget. It's Shabbos.
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 1: But I'm not all that religious. I've got 11 people
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 1: coming over for dinner. My wife makes the best brisket
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 1: in the world, and... My kid Ava's home from college,
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 1: and we have a lot of people coming, and we
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 1: do do a very traditional Jewish service. But no, we
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 1: watch TV. We drive. We do all that stuff.
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 23: I'm going to have the game on.
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 4: Of course.
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to have the game on.
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 16: You're going to have it in different sections of the house?
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 1: Of course. If you have to sneak it.
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 23: And to answer your question, yes, bettors did get paid
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 23: out normally.
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, they did?
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 1: All right. So we'll end the show the way we started,
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 1: and that is 25 years ago this morning, When that
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 1: plane first hit, I was sitting in the studios with
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 1: Don Imus. He's gone. Charles McCord, he's as good as gone.
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 1: Somewhere in the mountains in the Ozarks. Bernard McGurk, who's gone,
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 1: was not in studio that day. I love you, Bernie.
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 1: He was on the street. It was a mayoral election
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 1: that day. Mark Chernoff was there for Bernie. But Lou
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 1: was there. And I distinctly remember looking across the glass,
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 1: like I'm doing right now, and seeing Lou. I had
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 1: no idea at the time it was going to be
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 1: such a horrible day because the first plane I just hit,
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 1: I remember seeing Lou. And here we are 25 years later,
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 1: and I'm still looking at Lou across the glass in
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 1: a different seat, mind you, in a different role, not
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 1: just doing sports and getting my ass kicked by Imus.
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 1: I'm actually the host, but I'm still looking at Lou
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 1: 25 years later. I'm glad we're still here. Yeah, me too.
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 1: Me too. Crazy rough years. Oh, absolutely. But we do
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 1: want to send all of our love and prayers to
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 1: all the families. They're still reading the names, obviously, downtown.
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 1: They'll do it for hours. All the families that are
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 1: struggling today, we're with you. All New Yorkers and people
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 1: around this great country. The president now speaking at the Pentagon. Also, folks.
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 1: In Shanksville, Pennsylvania, you've got our love and our support.
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 1: God bless all the victims. God bless all the families.
