Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the Morning.
0:03
Speaker 2: Entertaining and informative.
0:05
Speaker 3: On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
0:09
Speaker 4: Congratulations especially to Sid Rosenberg on his induction to the
0:14
Speaker 4: New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame.
0:17
Speaker 5: I can't believe he didn't make it years ago.
0:20
Speaker 4: Today, Sid forever joins a roll call of some of
0:23
Speaker 4: the greatest legends in the history of New York broadcasting
0:27
Speaker 4: and talk radio. the best in the business, and he's
0:30
Speaker 4: the best in the business. Over many years, Sid has
0:33
Speaker 4: distinguished himself as one of the most authentic and recognizable
0:37
Speaker 4: voices in American airwaves, and he's built a smart, loyal,
0:41
Speaker 4: gigantic audience, and I happen.
0:43
Speaker 6: To be one of those people in the audience.
0:46
Speaker 4: And I had for a long time, long before I
0:48
Speaker 4: became president.
0:50
Speaker 7: The president, President Trump, also on the campaign trail for
0:53
Speaker 7: Republican candidates. He made a stop in Texas last week
0:57
Speaker 7: and Ohio. This comes, however, as a new CBS News
1:01
Speaker 7: poll shows the Democrats are in a strong position to
1:04
Speaker 7: win control of the House, tying ongoing concerns about the
1:08
Speaker 7: economy and the war with Iran with the president. CBS's
1:13
Speaker 7: Torian Small now with more.
1:16
Speaker 8: President Trump spent Saturday evening in Ohio predicting Republican wins
1:20
Speaker 8: in upcoming midterm elections.
1:22
Speaker 4: We're going to win strong in the Republican majorities in
1:26
Speaker 4: the House and the Senate.
1:27
Speaker 8: The president's remarks come as a new CBS News poll
1:30
Speaker 8: showed Democrats are favored to retain their lead for a
1:33
Speaker 8: narrow majority of seats in the midterms. The poll found
1:37
Speaker 8: that 56 percent of those surveyed say the president's policies
1:41
Speaker 8: are responsible for the state of the U.S.
1:43
Speaker 2: Economy today.
1:44
Speaker 8: And of those surveyed, 70% said the president's policies are
1:48
Speaker 8: making the prices of food and groceries go up. The
1:51
Speaker 8: president's war on Iran, now in its eighth month, also
1:54
Speaker 8: remains unpopular. According to those surveyed, 67% say they prefer
1:59
Speaker 8: a candidate who wants to end the conflict now. When
2:02
Speaker 8: faced the nation, Energy Secretary Chris Wright defended the president's
2:06
Speaker 8: determination to prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon and
2:09
Speaker 8: expressed confidence that gas prices will come down in the
2:13
Speaker 8: next few weeks, but says there are no guarantees.
2:17
Speaker 2: There's no guarantees in conflict.
2:18
Speaker 1: There's no guarantees in life.
2:20
Speaker 7: But everything we're doing is to grow the supply of diesel,
2:24
Speaker 7: to grow the supply.
2:25
Speaker 9: Of gasoline, and frankly, again, to reverse years of policies
2:30
Speaker 9: that have been directed exactly the opposite.
2:32
Speaker 8: Also on Face the Nation, Democratic Senator Mark Kelly, who
2:36
Speaker 8: spoke optimistically about the Democrats' chances of gaining control of
2:39
Speaker 8: both the House and the Senate in the midterms.
2:43
Speaker 6: I think we have real opportunities in a lot of places.
2:46
Speaker 7: People are frustrated and they're fed up with Washington, D.C.
2:49
Speaker 2: Right now.
2:50
Speaker 7: And they know that this president is not addressing any
2:54
Speaker 7: of the needs that affect them.
2:57
Speaker 8: The midterms are less than one month away.
2:59
Speaker 10: Kate, the co-pilot of this flight may have been trying
3:03
Speaker 10: to take control of the aircraft and crash it into
3:06
Speaker 10: Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport.
3:07
Speaker 11: John?
3:08
Speaker 12: Trey, I know there was a lot of euphoria in
3:11
Speaker 12: Israel over the successful ending of that flight, but now
3:16
Speaker 12: people are raising a lot of questions about the investigation
3:19
Speaker 12: and everything that... that could have prevented all of this
3:23
Speaker 12: in the first place, right?
3:24
Speaker 11: Absolutely.
3:25
Speaker 10: Israeli media reports that the flight manifest was actually given
3:28
Speaker 10: to the transportation ministry here in Israel before it took
3:31
Speaker 10: off from Dubai, an indication that the Israelis may have
3:35
Speaker 10: been able to vet both the crew and passengers of
3:37
Speaker 10: this flight before it took off.
3:39
Speaker 13: And we know the Israelis have a rule in place.
3:42
Speaker 10: Pilots from around the world are not allowed to land
3:44
Speaker 10: here in Israel if they have nationality from a country
3:47
Speaker 10: that does not have normalized ties with Israel. And this pilot,
3:50
Speaker 10: according to reports, had Omani citizenship. And so it does
3:54
Speaker 10: raise these red flags about who missed this and if
3:57
Speaker 10: the intelligence behind the scenes was actually working. There is
4:00
Speaker 10: an overhaul right now of the system, we are told,
4:02
Speaker 10: and they are trying to ensure that an incident like
4:04
Speaker 10: this can't happen in the future.
4:07
Speaker 14: Country star Zach Bryan played another show at Gillette. The
4:09
Speaker 14: stadium posted the concert broke its attendance record with more
4:13
Speaker 14: than 73,000 fans. The show came 24 hours after Bryan
4:17
Speaker 14: wore a Free Palestine t-shirt on stage. WBZ's Logan Hall
4:21
Speaker 14: says the incident thrust the controversy back into the spotlight
4:25
Speaker 14: and fans had mixed feelings.
4:26
Speaker 2: Speaking of speech, man. Let him wear what he wants.
4:29
Speaker 9: Fans outside of Gillette for Zach Bryan's second show, supporting
4:33
Speaker 9: the artist for wearing a free Palestine shirt on stage
4:35
Speaker 9: during his concert on Friday night.
4:40
Speaker 2: I mean, it's huge.
4:40
Speaker 15: I mean, coming from a country artist especially, like speaking
4:42
Speaker 15: up for that, like usually they're very conservative.
4:44
Speaker 9: The move comes weeks after Gillette Stadium owner Robert Kraft
4:47
Speaker 9: was accused of pressuring Ed Sheeran to pull Macklemore from
4:50
Speaker 9: his tour after the artist spoke in support of Palestine.
4:53
Speaker 9: Macklemore posting a photo of Zach Bryan to his Instagram story,
4:57
Speaker 9: calling out Kraft.
4:59
Speaker 15: He has two trans members in his band. He's spoken
5:02
Speaker 15: up for LGBTQ in the past, coming up with a
5:04
Speaker 15: Free Palestine shirt, coming out. I mean, it speaks volumes.
5:07
Speaker 9: But many of the fans we spoke to outside of
5:09
Speaker 9: the concert weren't interested in the politics.
5:12
Speaker 2: I'm here for the music.
5:13
Speaker 11: I don't really look at that stuff.
5:15
Speaker 15: I'm just here to listen to Zach Bryan and sit
5:18
Speaker 15: on the floor and be as close to him as possible.
5:21
Speaker 9: We reached out to Gillette Stadium for comment, but did
5:23
Speaker 9: not hear back. Reporting in Foxborough, I'm Logan Hall, WBZ News.
5:28
Speaker 16: New York Mayor Zoran Mamdani rolled up his sleeve for
5:31
Speaker 16: a flu shot. He was joined by Curtis Sliwa at
5:34
Speaker 16: a clinic in Port Greene, Brooklyn. The former challengers for
5:38
Speaker 16: mayor teamed up to record a message encouraging New Yorkers
5:42
Speaker 16: to get their flu shots. They even held hands when
5:45
Speaker 16: Sliwa got his shot. I can understand that. He received
5:48
Speaker 16: a button, but not a free ride home.
5:52
Speaker 2: Now, can I get on.
5:52
Speaker 11: The subway with this instead of an Omnipod?
5:55
Speaker 17: Come on, Mr.
5:56
Speaker 18: Mayor.
5:57
Speaker 2: We're going to.
5:59
Speaker 13: Have to work on that.
6:01
Speaker 16: And the clinic where the duo got their shots is
6:03
Speaker 16: one of many around the city offering the vaccine for free,
6:06
Speaker 16: regardless of insurance or immigration status. The CDC says the
6:10
Speaker 16: flu vaccine reduces the risk of having to go to
6:13
Speaker 16: the doctor with the flu by up to 60 percent.
6:16
Speaker 19: Mamdani hasn't given us faster free buses, but he is
6:19
Speaker 19: keeping his promise of replacing police officers with social workers.
6:22
Speaker 19: Last week, Mamdani's city hall declared that police officers can
6:25
Speaker 19: no longer respond to 311 calls about homeless encampments. Instead,
6:29
Speaker 19: the officers have to call 311 themselves and then allow.
6:31
Speaker 18: A social worker to take it over entirely.
6:33
Speaker 20: But what's that social worker supposed to do?
6:35
Speaker 19: Well, according to Mamdani's instructions, that social worker has to
6:38
Speaker 19: show up for seven days in a row, make direct
6:40
Speaker 19: contact with the individual to ask them to leave, then
6:43
Speaker 19: only after seven days of direct contact can the department
6:46
Speaker 19: of sanitation even begin to start clearing away the trash
6:48
Speaker 19: from the streets this is insane policy to put into
6:51
Speaker 19: perspective there are only about 2 000 social workers in
6:54
Speaker 19: the entire department of homeless services in new york compared
6:57
Speaker 19: to over 8 000 homeless encampments already confirmed to 311
7:00
Speaker 19: this year alone resources are always limited so having our
7:03
Speaker 19: social workers go out seven days in a row to
7:05
Speaker 19: try and make contact with these encampments is taking away
7:08
Speaker 19: valuable time and resources from individuals who are actually in crisis,
7:11
Speaker 19: not building two-bedroom encampments under the FDR. So if you
7:14
Speaker 19: start wondering why you're seeing all these encampments pop up
7:16
Speaker 19: this winter, now you know why.
7:18
Speaker 13: Vote accordingly.
7:19
Speaker 21: Somebody that goes back literally decades with Bernie and through
7:24
Speaker 21: an incredible partnership has been able to make this show.
7:27
Speaker 21: The number one talk show in this city is Sid Rosenberg,
7:31
Speaker 21: and he's on the line with us now. Sid, my
7:33
Speaker 21: heart goes out to you. Words fail me, and... I
7:36
Speaker 21: can only imagine how you must be feeling. My condolences
7:39
Speaker 21: on the loss of your partner and your friend.
7:41
Speaker 18: Well, thank you.
7:42
Speaker 22: It was a tough morning. I do want to thank
7:45
Speaker 22: you and Curtis and John.
7:47
Speaker 23: And Chad and everybody who's called in. John said it best.
7:54
Speaker 23: You know, I knew how bad it was, too. I
7:56
Speaker 23: spoke to Bernie. I told you this, Frank.
7:58
Speaker 22: A couple of mornings ago, I.
8:00
Speaker 23: Spoke to Bernard last Wednesday.
8:02
Speaker 2: And I even made.
8:04
Speaker 22: The comparison to Jim Cohn's character in Brian's song. His
8:08
Speaker 22: voice was so weak. But we had a nice conversation.
8:12
Speaker 18: In fact, me.
8:15
Speaker 22: For what he did at the gala. And the last
8:17
Speaker 22: thing he said was, I love you. And I said,
8:20
Speaker 22: I love you too. And this is an immense loss.
8:24
Speaker 22: Like John said, we knew he was sick and we
8:27
Speaker 22: knew this day was coming. But when it comes, it's
8:32
Speaker 22: not easy. And, um, You know, guys, my history is
8:36
Speaker 22: not about me today, but a lot of people turned
8:39
Speaker 22: their backs on me.
8:40
Speaker 18: And he never did. He never did.
8:44
Speaker 22: And I'm just very sad today. I probably shouldn't even
8:49
Speaker 22: call him, but.
8:51
Speaker 23: I feel like I need to. I'm going to miss him.
8:53
Speaker 2: That was actual audio that you heard right there from
8:57
Speaker 2: October 5th, 2022, four years ago today. Ironic, too, because
9:06
Speaker 2: the guys that were hosting that morning, along with John,
9:08
Speaker 2: of course, were Frank Morano, he's no longer here, and
9:12
Speaker 2: Curtis Sliwa, who not only is no longer here, but
9:16
Speaker 2: has turned into one of the biggest assholes in the
9:18
Speaker 2: history of New York. I mean, what a douchebag. My God, Curtis.
9:24
Speaker 2: You feel good about yourself? Really? You sat here and
9:28
Speaker 2: conned me and my audience day after day for years?
9:33
Speaker 2: And all it was for you was to make sure
9:35
Speaker 2: Andrew Cuomo didn't win because of, I guess, a combination
9:39
Speaker 2: of what you've got, which is CDS, Cuomo Derangement Syndrome,
9:46
Speaker 2: and maybe a couple of bucks. I don't know. I
9:48
Speaker 2: don't have any proof. I don't have it accused you
9:51
Speaker 2: of anything. But, man, it has become real obvious. And
9:56
Speaker 2: it was even during the race. You guys may remember
9:59
Speaker 2: when I... had Curtis on this show literally 13 days
10:03
Speaker 2: before Election Day. You guys remember that he spent the
10:07
Speaker 2: first 13 minutes, 13 minutes, talking about the guy that
10:12
Speaker 2: wasn't even winning, Andrew Cuomo. And about 13 minutes in,
10:16
Speaker 2: I said, and, Noam, you'll remember this, Hey, Curtis, are
10:19
Speaker 2: you going to get to Mamdani at some point? He's
10:21
Speaker 2: probably going to win. You remember that?
10:23
Speaker 24: I remember that, and I remember during the debate, everybody
10:27
Speaker 24: was screaming at their TV saying, when's he going to
10:29
Speaker 24: go after Mamdani?
10:30
Speaker 2: So clearly there's something at play here that's not okay,
10:34
Speaker 2: that's not kosher. You know, there are still people out
10:37
Speaker 2: there that hate me so much that they curse me
10:40
Speaker 2: out on Twitter this weekend in defending Curtis. You believe that?
10:45
Speaker 2: I mean, I turned out to be a thousand percent right.
10:47
Speaker 2: And I took the beating. Curtis, his wife, his team,
10:51
Speaker 2: every day on Twitter and Instagram. I showed it to
10:54
Speaker 2: you guys every day. Sid's a backstabber. Sid's a Judas.
10:59
Speaker 2: Because I decided that 10 days, not 10 weeks, not
11:03
Speaker 2: 10 months, 10 days after putting this creep on just
11:07
Speaker 2: about every day for six years against management's wishes. Ten days,
11:13
Speaker 2: me and John Katsimatidis, my friend on Brian Kilmeade's show
11:15
Speaker 2: on Fox, decided that if that week Curtis's numbers didn't
11:20
Speaker 2: improve and they didn't, we were going to move to Cuomo.
11:22
Speaker 2: Ten days. And I really thought Curtis, I kept saying
11:27
Speaker 2: he's going to get clobbered. I would tell Louie that
11:29
Speaker 2: every morning. And Lou was getting mad at me because
11:31
Speaker 2: Lou liked Curtis. So did I at one point. He's like, oh,
11:34
Speaker 2: I don't care about the polls, blah, blah, blah. He's
11:36
Speaker 2: going to get killed today. And when I said that,
11:39
Speaker 2: I thought he got 15% of the vote, not 7%.
11:42
Speaker 2: The worst showing in the history of the race. And
11:45
Speaker 2: this moron is talking about running again. But to sit
11:49
Speaker 2: there this weekend and again, the yucks. Guys, remember the
11:53
Speaker 2: inner circle dinner months and months ago? When he did
11:57
Speaker 2: the video with Mom Donnie that nobody laughed at. It
11:59
Speaker 2: was so stupid. But you remember that, Noam, right?
12:02
Speaker 11: I do remember that.
12:03
Speaker 18: Embarrassing.
12:03
Speaker 2: Embarrassing. Not funny, dumb. But everybody was like, oh, my God.
12:07
Speaker 2: I'm like, what? Oh, my God, what?
12:10
Speaker 5: What?
12:10
Speaker 2: If you couldn't tell during the race, I know all
12:12
Speaker 2: of his buddies in Middle Village and our neighborhood, Lou,
12:16
Speaker 2: I kept yelling. I kept yelling at Mary Glynn and
12:20
Speaker 2: Paul King and Margaret Powers. Stop it already with this guy.
12:25
Speaker 2: Stop it. And they all loved him. Levato. Turns out
12:30
Speaker 2: he's the backstabber. He's backstabbed this city. And again, I
12:33
Speaker 2: don't know exactly why. Maybe he needs to be loved.
12:37
Speaker 2: Maybe he needs money. I don't know what it is.
12:40
Speaker 2: I don't know. But it was an odd race. Odd
12:46
Speaker 2: as being nice. And since Mamdani's won, Curtis has so
12:51
Speaker 2: far up his ass, he may as well check for polyps.
12:54
Speaker 2: And to get the flu shot together a couple of
12:55
Speaker 2: days ago, sitting there smiling and yucking it up, Again,
12:59
Speaker 2: not funny. One thing about those two guys, you put
13:02
Speaker 2: them together, they're not exactly Dean and Jerry, you know.
13:06
Speaker 13: They were close to polyps yesterday, actually.
13:08
Speaker 2: It was so ridiculous.
13:10
Speaker 13: Very close.
13:11
Speaker 2: So ridiculous. But I don't want to talk about Curtis.
13:13
Speaker 2: He happened to be on the air that day filling
13:16
Speaker 2: in for me because I couldn't do the show. I
13:17
Speaker 2: was so distraught, as you guys can hear. And the
13:22
Speaker 2: night before, October 4th, Well, it was October 5th. What
13:27
Speaker 2: am I talking about? That show was October 6th. October
13:31
Speaker 2: 5th of 2022. Also happened to be, believe it or not, Noam,
13:36
Speaker 2: Yom Kippur. And we had just broken the fast, me, Danielle, Ava,
13:43
Speaker 2: and Gabe. And we were going to bed. And I
13:47
Speaker 2: told you this many times, my phone rang, and it
13:50
Speaker 2: was the Hall of Fame voice of the New York
13:53
Speaker 2: Knicks and the NBA saying, our dear friend, the great
13:56
Speaker 2: Mike Breen. And I didn't pick up. I missed the call.
14:01
Speaker 2: And I said, wow, Danielle, Mike Breen just called. I said,
14:05
Speaker 2: I don't want to call him back because I know
14:07
Speaker 2: why he's calling. I knew it. I had talked to
14:11
Speaker 2: Bernie the week before he died. I was doing a
14:14
Speaker 2: book signing. My second book came out, Citizens United. And
14:19
Speaker 2: I was doing the signing from that place in Ronkonkoma. God,
14:23
Speaker 2: that was far. the first American warehouse. And I called Bernard,
14:29
Speaker 2: and Bernard thanked me because right before that, at the
14:32
Speaker 2: WABC annual gala, I don't know if you guys were
14:36
Speaker 2: there for this one, but I went up on stage
14:39
Speaker 2: and I told everybody there, very reminiscent of Billy Dee Williams,
14:43
Speaker 2: to pray for Bernie. Do you remember that? Were you
14:46
Speaker 2: there for that, Lewis?
14:47
Speaker 5: I saw that.
14:47
Speaker 13: I remember that one, I think.
14:49
Speaker 2: Yes. Pray for Bernard, and Bernie thanked me that night
14:52
Speaker 2: on the phone. He said, thank you for that. And
14:54
Speaker 2: I hung up the phone. Andrew Giuliani was standing right there.
14:57
Speaker 2: And I cried. And I told Lou the next morning,
15:01
Speaker 2: talking about Billy Dee Williams, his voice was so high
15:05
Speaker 2: and weak, he reminded me of the character Jim Conn played,
15:11
Speaker 2: Jimmy Conn played in Brian's song, the real life Brian Piccolo.
15:15
Speaker 2: And I said, he's going to die. And I remember
15:18
Speaker 2: a couple of days after that, maybe it was Monday,
15:20
Speaker 2: because I think Bernard died on a Tuesday or a Wednesday.
15:23
Speaker 2: Carol McGurk called me, his wife, and said, listen, Bernie
15:26
Speaker 2: intends to come back on the air. Because I had
15:29
Speaker 2: been saying, just stop it already. Matt Meany was, he's
15:33
Speaker 2: coming back. And management here was, he's coming back. And
15:36
Speaker 2: I was like, guys, he ain't never coming back. Not
15:40
Speaker 2: because I wanted that to be the case, but I
15:43
Speaker 2: spoke to him. I saw it. I said we should
15:47
Speaker 2: be spending our time making him and his family comfortable
15:50
Speaker 2: and stop lying to people that he's coming back. He's
15:53
Speaker 2: not coming back. He was dead two days later after
15:56
Speaker 2: that argument with Matt Meany. You remember that, Noam?
15:58
Speaker 1: I don't think I was came maybe a week or two.
16:01
Speaker 2: Oh, after that.
16:02
Speaker 11: No, no.
16:02
Speaker 1: It was right before. So I missed all that. I mean,
16:05
Speaker 1: it was here the day he passed away.
16:06
Speaker 25: I remember it.
16:08
Speaker 2: Yes. Well, I was getting angry.
16:09
Speaker 18: Remember?
16:09
Speaker 2: I was like, guys, let's be honest with the listeners.
16:12
Speaker 2: Let's be honest. Let's help Bernie and Carol. He ain't
16:15
Speaker 2: coming out of this. No, he's coming back.
16:17
Speaker 26: He's trying to be hopeful. But I told Matt, I
16:19
Speaker 26: sat with him. I said, Matt, you better get yourself ready, man.
16:22
Speaker 26: You better prepare yourself. It's not looking good, unfortunately. You
16:29
Speaker 26: just got to get real.
16:30
Speaker 13: You got to get a little real. I mean, as
16:32
Speaker 13: sad as it is. I mean, we were all sad.
16:35
Speaker 2: Of course, but that was the reality of the situation.
16:37
Speaker 18: Right.
16:37
Speaker 2: So I called back Breen, and he delivered the news,
16:41
Speaker 2: and it was horrible. And I called Chad right away
16:43
Speaker 2: and said, I'm not coming into work tomorrow. He understood,
16:45
Speaker 2: of course. And then we had all these real beautiful tributes,
16:50
Speaker 2: the St. Patrick's funeral. And I remember that morning, like
16:54
Speaker 2: seven guys sitting in studio, Joe Abood and Pete Morgan
16:58
Speaker 2: and Corey Zelnick. And I know I'm leaving out people.
17:01
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but. It was just a very difficult time,
17:05
Speaker 2: it was. Four years ago today. Four years ago today.
17:09
Speaker 2: Just unbelievable. And the irony is, this Saturday morning, Danielle
17:16
Speaker 2: and I will be heading to church to see his
17:19
Speaker 2: beautiful daughter, Melanie, get married. Since Bernard is gone the
17:23
Speaker 2: last four years, his son has had two children. Bernie's
17:28
Speaker 2: a grandfather twice. And his daughter is getting married Saturday.
17:33
Speaker 2: I'd like to think he's not missing any of this.
17:36
Speaker 2: Just like I'd like to think my dad sees all
17:38
Speaker 2: my success. Although I hope he can't see my Twitter account. Man,
17:44
Speaker 2: is that ugly.
17:44
Speaker 18: Die, kike.
17:45
Speaker 2: Have you seen all that? No, I haven't. Kike bastard,
17:48
Speaker 2: you bastard, die. Oh, yeah, yeah. Your time is coming.
17:53
Speaker 2: Thousands of them. I'm not talking about five, ten, thousands
17:57
Speaker 2: of them. And it doesn't matter how many times I
17:59
Speaker 2: block people. Because I guess they can still post. I
18:02
Speaker 2: can't see it once I block them, but you guys can.
18:05
Speaker 2: I mean, just the most despicable, and they're all cowards,
18:09
Speaker 2: if they're real.
18:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, are they real or are they bots?
18:11
Speaker 2: No, some of them are real. They've got thousands of followers,
18:14
Speaker 2: but they wouldn't say that stuff to my face because
18:16
Speaker 2: I'd knock their freaking teeth out. Well, of course. But
18:18
Speaker 2: on Twitter, they're real tough guys, you know. I'm coming
18:21
Speaker 2: for you, Rosenberg. Okay. You know where I am every day,
18:24
Speaker 2: tough guy? Every day, I don't hide it. In fact,
18:27
Speaker 2: I probably talk about it too much. Just shut up,
18:30
Speaker 2: all right? You ain't going to do nothing. You ain't
18:32
Speaker 2: going to say nothing. You go on Twitter like a loser.
18:34
Speaker 2: Nobody cares. I used to delete the messages. Now I
18:37
Speaker 2: leave them there so people can see what a lowlife
18:40
Speaker 2: you are. But anyway, Bernard is missed, and we love him.
18:47
Speaker 2: And again, congratulations to his daughter. On Saturday, I'll be
18:51
Speaker 2: there to his son and all that good stuff. Corey
18:55
Speaker 2: just sent me a picture, actually. It was Abood. Frank Siller.
19:00
Speaker 18: Wow.
19:01
Speaker 2: Andrew Giuliani. Me, Corey, Peter King, Pete Morgan, and Bo Dietl. Boy,
19:07
Speaker 2: that is some picture. Standing outside of St. Patrick's. How
19:10
Speaker 2: about that picture?
19:11
Speaker 5: Wow.
19:12
Speaker 2: Corey just sent it to me. That is a beautiful picture.
19:15
Speaker 2: Thank you, Corey. The one inside the studio that morning
19:19
Speaker 2: is Peter King, Corey, Pete Morgan, Andrew Giuliani, and Joseph Abboud.
19:28
Speaker 2: So that brings me to my weekend, which was a
19:31
Speaker 2: very interesting weekend. So Friday, we decided, Danielle and I,
19:35
Speaker 2: to stay in the city. Why? Because Danielle is training
19:38
Speaker 2: for her seventh New York City marathon, her 41st marathon overall.
19:44
Speaker 2: And she has a runner's group because it's very hard
19:48
Speaker 2: to run by yourself. You have to do 18 miles,
19:50
Speaker 2: 20 miles, 22 miles. You know, Norma, it's hard to
19:53
Speaker 2: do it by yourself. So she's got this runner's group
19:56
Speaker 2: that she meets with occasionally on Saturdays, and she does
20:01
Speaker 2: long-distance runs with them. Somebody to talk to, somebody to
20:04
Speaker 2: run with, somebody to try to beat, you know the
20:05
Speaker 2: whole thing. So We decided to stay in the city
20:09
Speaker 2: because we needed to be in the city Friday night
20:12
Speaker 2: anyway because the Katsimatidis, our dear friends John and Margot,
20:17
Speaker 2: they had a big event at the beautiful Pierre Hotel.
20:21
Speaker 2: They were celebrating their wedding anniversary, and Margot was being
20:25
Speaker 2: honored by the friars that night. And what a beautiful event.
20:29
Speaker 2: We had a very nice table, Danielle and I. We
20:31
Speaker 2: sat next to my man, Dominic Carter, and his lovely wife,
20:36
Speaker 2: Jake Novak. Suzanne Miller and her friend. And then there
20:40
Speaker 2: was a bunch of ABC people inside the room that night.
20:44
Speaker 2: John and Margo. Margo spoke because she was being honored.
20:48
Speaker 2: She was so good. I'm not patronizing her. I'm not
20:52
Speaker 2: blowing smoke up John's ass. I'm past that point, okay?
20:55
Speaker 2: She was really good. Like, great. Funny. And the kids
20:59
Speaker 2: were there, obviously. AJ and John Jr. and his wife and,
21:04
Speaker 2: you know, George V. and Craig Eaton. I know I'm
21:08
Speaker 2: leaving out a bunch of people, but there's a lot
21:10
Speaker 2: of ABC people there. But maybe the biggest thrill for me, Lewis,
21:15
Speaker 2: was seeing a lady I haven't seen in a long time.
21:18
Speaker 2: And I sat next to her. I kind of blindsided her.
21:22
Speaker 2: And I said, I'm sorry. She said, why? I said,
21:26
Speaker 2: all those years I terrorized you on the I Miss
21:29
Speaker 2: in the Morning show. She said, oh, come on. You
21:31
Speaker 2: are hilarious. And you sound great now. And look how
21:34
Speaker 2: cute you are. I said, really? You're not mad? She goes,
21:38
Speaker 2: not mad. I want to come on the show. Now,
21:41
Speaker 2: you have three guesses, Louis.
21:43
Speaker 25: I'm drawing a blank.
21:44
Speaker 2: Who did I terrorize? Let me ask you this, madam.
21:49
Speaker 2: What do you think you'll find more on the beach today?
21:52
Speaker 2: Syringes or fingers? Bernadette Castro. Yes. I got her cell
21:58
Speaker 2: phone number. How crazy is that? And she hurt Deirdre
22:03
Speaker 2: Imus on the day before. It's like one big circle
22:07
Speaker 2: of life. You know, Noam? One big circle of life.
22:10
Speaker 11: Amazing.
22:11
Speaker 2: You don't understand. This lady was a regular, and I
22:14
Speaker 2: used to beat her, and Imus would love it. And, God,
22:19
Speaker 2: 25 years later, she appreciated all of it. And she
22:22
Speaker 2: will join us, Louis, on the program this week.
22:25
Speaker 13: She has a great sense of humor.
22:26
Speaker 2: Great sense of humor.
22:27
Speaker 13: She's a very, very cool person. Very good person.
22:30
Speaker 2: Great lady.
22:30
Speaker 13: I really like her.
22:31
Speaker 2: Oh, good. She's coming on this week. How about that?
22:34
Speaker 2: Bernadette Castro. Stop it. Stop it. Stop that. That's what
22:38
Speaker 2: she would do. So we had a great night, and
22:40
Speaker 2: we ended up staying at the same hotel for you
22:43
Speaker 2: guys that will follow me closely. The first hotel, we
22:47
Speaker 2: ended up staying in two hotels, and then we got
22:49
Speaker 2: an apartment, Gateway Plaza down there by Battery Park, when
22:53
Speaker 2: my house had the water damage years ago. The first
22:57
Speaker 2: hotel we stayed at, we stayed there for a week.
22:59
Speaker 2: The Millennium Hotel, which is on 44th between 1st and 2nd,
23:05
Speaker 2: not far from the U.N., that was the place where
23:08
Speaker 2: I saw Flavor Flav. You guys remember that? I also
23:11
Speaker 2: saw Chris Cuomo outside that night, and it was also
23:15
Speaker 2: the hotel we stayed in when the Rosenberg family made
23:18
Speaker 2: our way for the first time ever, and the only
23:20
Speaker 2: time ever, outdoors, New Year's Eve, to watch the ball drop.
23:25
Speaker 2: And we saw Duran Duran. You remember all that?
23:27
Speaker 18: Yes.
23:27
Speaker 2: That was the hotel. So we stayed there again. Lovely hotel.
23:31
Speaker 2: And the next morning, Saturday, Danielle gets up dark and
23:34
Speaker 2: early to meet her running group to do a 22-mile run.
23:39
Speaker 2: And I stayed in bed for about an hour and
23:41
Speaker 2: a half. And once the sun came up, I went out.
23:44
Speaker 2: And I decided right down the block, literally, On the
23:47
Speaker 2: corner of 44th and 2nd is a coffee shop that
23:50
Speaker 2: I really like called John's Coffee Shop. You guys remember
23:53
Speaker 2: two weeks ago when I went to see Bebe speak
23:55
Speaker 2: at the U.N., I went for lunch first with Laura Ortiz,
24:00
Speaker 2: who happens to run Marco Rubio's office for the better
24:03
Speaker 2: part of 10 years, and we had lunch at John's
24:06
Speaker 2: Coffee Shop. Same place. So I walk into John's. Oh,
24:09
Speaker 2: my God, I'm looking at it right now on TV.
24:12
Speaker 2: I walk into John's at exactly 735 Saturday morning. And
24:17
Speaker 2: Lou and Norm, I'm the only customer in the place.
24:20
Speaker 2: I'm the only one. And I'm sitting there. I order
24:23
Speaker 2: my breakfast. And then I notice a man and a
24:27
Speaker 2: woman walking in. I'm alone at this point inside this
24:29
Speaker 2: popular coffee shop. A man and a woman walk in,
24:33
Speaker 2: and they sit at the very first table by the
24:38
Speaker 2: exit or the entrance, however you want to describe it.
24:41
Speaker 2: And the woman is facing me. The man has his
24:44
Speaker 2: back to me. But the woman is facing me, and
24:48
Speaker 2: I look up, and she looks up, and wouldn't you
24:51
Speaker 2: know it, it's the governor, Kathy Hochul.
24:54
Speaker 1: Oh, come on.
24:55
Speaker 2: And her husband, I swear to God. So at 7.50 a.m.
24:59
Speaker 2: on Saturday morning at John's Coffee Shop on 44th and 2nd,
25:03
Speaker 2: there were three people, only three, inside this coffee shop,
25:08
Speaker 2: and it's Sid Rosenberg, Kathy Hochul, and her husband. Laura
25:12
Speaker 2: Loom was like, you should have gotten up and washed
25:14
Speaker 2: the table. I'm not going to do that. But I
25:16
Speaker 2: did take a picture, and I put the picture on
25:19
Speaker 2: my social media, at SidRosenberg19, my Instagram, at Rosenberg.Sydney, and
25:27
Speaker 2: my Facebook, SidRosenberg, okay? And people started hammering Kathy. But
25:34
Speaker 2: as the day went along, no. They hammered me, including fat, stupid,
25:41
Speaker 2: out of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, Justin Brannan, who called it creepy,
25:45
Speaker 2: I guess, that I would take a picture of somebody.
25:48
Speaker 2: What are you talking about? He's a famous person, right?
25:52
Speaker 2: He's inside a restaurant. I'm in the same restaurant. I
25:55
Speaker 2: took a picture. I said, look, even the worst governor
25:58
Speaker 2: in the country eats, too. How about that?
26:01
Speaker 18: No.
26:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's she's fair game.
26:03
Speaker 2: If she's, of course, Justin Brannan, you fat, stupid moron.
26:07
Speaker 2: So what? I took a picture. What does she think
26:10
Speaker 2: is going to happen? She's walking around with a hat on, sunglasses,
26:13
Speaker 2: like incognito. You know, like people are really going to
26:17
Speaker 2: care about her. Meantime, two people walked up to me
26:20
Speaker 2: in the diner. Nobody walked up to her. Not one person.
26:23
Speaker 2: I swear to God, not one. And I found out
26:25
Speaker 2: that she was in town staying in the city because
26:28
Speaker 2: she went to that real creep Al Sharpton's birthday party. Well,
26:32
Speaker 2: how about that?
26:32
Speaker 18: No.
26:34
Speaker 2: So there's Hochul. And I put this stuff on my
26:37
Speaker 2: social media. And for about a day and a half,
26:40
Speaker 2: I am getting destroyed on social media. I'm a creep.
26:44
Speaker 2: I'm a pedophile. I'm a weirdo. All these nasty things
26:49
Speaker 2: because I would take a picture of somebody when they
26:52
Speaker 2: were trying to enjoy their breakfast. Give me a break.
26:54
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? I mean, she's a public figure.
26:58
Speaker 2: She's famous. I'm sure it's not the first time somebody
27:02
Speaker 2: on her side or against her took a picture of
27:05
Speaker 2: her without her knowing. What do you think, Norm?
27:07
Speaker 1: Oh, all the time.
27:08
Speaker 2: Of course. What is Justin Brannan talking about? You have
27:12
Speaker 2: any idea?
27:12
Speaker 10: No.
27:13
Speaker 18: No.
27:14
Speaker 1: I think he just hates you, so he figures any
27:16
Speaker 1: way to attack you.
27:17
Speaker 2: So then Kathy Hochul's office, because she would never do
27:20
Speaker 2: it on her account, but that guy, he's such a pussy.
27:26
Speaker 2: I know who the guy is, and he runs her
27:28
Speaker 2: Twitter account. It's actually Kathy Hochul's office. takes a picture
27:33
Speaker 2: of me, an old picture, speaking earlier this year at
27:37
Speaker 2: the Jerusalem Post conference where I look really tan, like
27:41
Speaker 2: really tan, you know. And the new thing ever since
27:43
Speaker 2: Jon Stewart attacked me on Super Bowl night is Thanos purple. Purple, purple, purple,
27:50
Speaker 2: that's a big joke. You know that, right?
27:51
Speaker 18: No?
27:52
Speaker 2: They just refer to me as purple, purple, purple. That's
27:55
Speaker 2: their comeback for everything, you know. Purple said it so stupid.
28:00
Speaker 2: And so they put up a picture of Kathy Hochul's office,
28:03
Speaker 2: and they're like, this was the color of Sid. This
28:06
Speaker 2: is what he looked like when he took a picture
28:08
Speaker 2: of the governor. That's their comeback note.
28:10
Speaker 1: I don't even get it.
28:11
Speaker 2: I don't either. No, it's a shot at my tan.
28:14
Speaker 2: That's all they do.
28:14
Speaker 1: I know, but it's not even funny.
28:15
Speaker 5: No.
28:17
Speaker 2: Right? Not even, like, stupid, right?
28:20
Speaker 18: Yeah.
28:20
Speaker 2: Like, stupid.
28:21
Speaker 1: This is on their campaign site?
28:23
Speaker 2: Yes.
28:23
Speaker 20: Wow.
28:24
Speaker 2: You'd think they would say something like, ah, Rosenberg is
28:27
Speaker 2: stalking Hochul. Wonder if President Trump put him up to it. No,
28:30
Speaker 2: forget about President Trump. Wonder if Bruce Blakeman put him
28:33
Speaker 2: up to it.
28:34
Speaker 18: Right.
28:35
Speaker 2: Something like that.
28:36
Speaker 11: Right.
28:36
Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman must be paying Sid to follow Hochul around
28:39
Speaker 2: the city. Something like that. No, instead, they do what
28:43
Speaker 2: all my haters do on social media now. It's not funny.
28:47
Speaker 2: It's not creative.
28:48
Speaker 5: It's stupid.
28:49
Speaker 2: They make purple references. Isn't that unbelievable?
28:55
Speaker 1: I'm sort of just surprised they came after you at all.
28:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did. They did. I forgot the name of
29:01
Speaker 2: that Twitter account. Is it Kathy Hochul's office? Kathy Hochul's administration?
29:07
Speaker 2: It's on Twitter. You can look it up.
29:08
Speaker 24: So what did you write about her that she felt
29:11
Speaker 24: that she had to write something about you?
29:12
Speaker 2: I wrote on Twitter, was enjoying a quiet Saturday morning
29:17
Speaker 2: breakfast in the city till this lady sat down three
29:20
Speaker 2: tables away from me. I guess the worst governor in
29:24
Speaker 2: the nation has to eat, too. What are the odds? Rosenberg,
29:28
Speaker 2: and then I tagged her, Governor Kathy Hochul, on a
29:31
Speaker 2: Saturday morning. Vote for Bruce Blakeman in November like your
29:35
Speaker 2: life depends on it, because it does.
29:38
Speaker 1: See, that's pretty tame for you.
29:39
Speaker 18: Yes.
29:40
Speaker 2: I didn't call her a skank, a wench, a witch.
29:42
Speaker 2: All the things I've called her in the past. Nothing.
29:46
Speaker 2: None of that. And Justin Brannan with his fat, stupid
29:49
Speaker 2: mouth and many other Democrats and all these lunatics that
29:54
Speaker 2: hate my guts. Killing me on Twitter. I mean, what
29:57
Speaker 2: are you kidding me? That's what you're going to say? Unbelievable, huh, no?
30:02
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just easy. I mean, if you're going
30:04
Speaker 1: to come after me, at least be a little bit creative.
30:06
Speaker 18: I mean, right.
30:07
Speaker 2: My tan, I'm Jewish. What do you got? How about
30:11
Speaker 2: a policy difference? Right? How about a policy difference? A
30:15
Speaker 2: bunch of people said, oh, let me guess, you're with
30:17
Speaker 2: the Cornell 7. Did you listen to the show on Friday?
30:21
Speaker 2: Could anybody make that statement?
30:22
Speaker 11: No? No.
30:23
Speaker 18: No.
30:24
Speaker 2: I sympathize with the girl on Friday. I said, at
30:27
Speaker 2: the very least... These men, boys, are guilty, at the
30:31
Speaker 2: very least, of reprehensible behavior when seven guys have sex
30:35
Speaker 2: with one girl. Criminally, I don't know yet. I don't
30:39
Speaker 2: know yet. But at the very least, what they did
30:41
Speaker 2: was morally reprehensible. Is that siding with the Cornell 7?
30:46
Speaker 1: Not even close.
30:46
Speaker 2: Not even close. But it doesn't matter anymore what you
30:50
Speaker 2: say or what you do. It doesn't matter. People are
30:54
Speaker 2: stupid for the most part. I used to think the
30:58
Speaker 2: minority of people were stupid. Most of us were smart.
31:00
Speaker 2: I don't think that anymore. I really believe the majority
31:03
Speaker 2: of people are stupid. Well, how about that, Norm?
31:06
Speaker 1: I agree with you.
31:07
Speaker 13: I agree with you, too.
31:09
Speaker 2: So Kathy Hochul and I had breakfast together on Saturday morning.
31:13
Speaker 2: Not really together. But we were in the same place
31:16
Speaker 2: at the same time.
31:17
Speaker 24: You must have, while you were sitting there, because you
31:19
Speaker 24: were by yourself, think for a moment, you know, I
31:20
Speaker 24: should probably go over and just say something to her.
31:23
Speaker 2: I mean, I thought about like dropping a napkin on
31:26
Speaker 2: a table. Right. Vote for Bruce Blakeman, something like that.
31:29
Speaker 2: But I actually thought about buying her breakfast.
31:31
Speaker 1: Did she have security with her or no?
31:33
Speaker 2: Nothing. She walked in with her husband at about 7.45 a.m.
31:38
Speaker 2: Saturday morning, just the two of them, and then walked out.
31:41
Speaker 2: And she kept looking up and looking right at me.
31:43
Speaker 2: I looked right at her. I didn't stare her down.
31:46
Speaker 2: I mean, have your breakfast. It's fine. And I was
31:49
Speaker 2: I was going to say something that I wasn't. And
31:52
Speaker 2: now if I had said something or caused a scene,
31:55
Speaker 2: then stupid Justin Briner or somebody else should certainly say something.
31:59
Speaker 2: But snapping a picture. So what? Who cares? Right.
32:03
Speaker 1: In fact, you did the right thing. You just left
32:05
Speaker 1: her alone. She was just having breakfast. She did.
32:08
Speaker 2: And trust me, I thought about it ten times. Am
32:10
Speaker 2: I getting up? Am I walking over? Am I getting up?
32:12
Speaker 2: Am I walking over? I didn't do it.
32:14
Speaker 1: What would you say?
32:15
Speaker 2: What am I going to say, right? You suck. What
32:19
Speaker 2: am I going to say? So that was my big
32:22
Speaker 2: Saturday morning.
32:23
Speaker 1: Wow, that's big.
32:24
Speaker 2: And then I went to Adrian's Saturday night, and I'll
32:26
Speaker 2: be at Adrian's this Saturday for the great Lou Ruffino.
32:30
Speaker 2: So it was a big weekend, I must say. There
32:33
Speaker 2: was a lot of news this weekend. I know the
32:35
Speaker 2: mayor and Curtis got their shot together. I posted that video.
32:40
Speaker 2: Rios found that for me out in New Jersey. She
32:43
Speaker 2: calls herself, I guess she goes by the Queen of
32:46
Speaker 2: Palestine on Instagram. I guess she's popular. I don't know
32:50
Speaker 2: who she is, but I've seen some of her stuff before,
32:54
Speaker 2: and she was talking about the Spike Lee story. You
32:56
Speaker 2: know that story, right?
32:57
Speaker 1: The one where somebody came up to him at the
32:59
Speaker 1: Yankees game?
33:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was the last week at the Yankee game
33:01
Speaker 2: in the Bronx, and they said, hey, will you say F-Palestine?
33:05
Speaker 2: Not Free Palestine, F-Palestine. And little Spike Lee got very
33:10
Speaker 2: angry and started yelling and screaming, you know. Spike Lee,
33:15
Speaker 2: who you guys remember I reached out to a couple
33:17
Speaker 2: of months ago, and he was very nice. And then
33:21
Speaker 2: I called him back to make an appearance on the show,
33:24
Speaker 2: and he lost it. Right away he goes, man, I
33:27
Speaker 2: know who you are. I go, what are you talking about, bro?
33:30
Speaker 2: I go, I know what you said about me when
33:32
Speaker 2: I wore my outfit at the basketball game. I go, yeah, yeah, yeah, Spike, Spike,
33:38
Speaker 2: take it easy. Calm down, tough guy, okay? All four
33:41
Speaker 2: put three of you. Calm down. You were dressed like
33:44
Speaker 2: a Palestinian because Denny from the Portland Trailblazers is an Israeli.
33:48
Speaker 2: I never, no, I didn't even know. I didn't even
33:51
Speaker 2: know that that man was from Israel. You didn't know?
33:55
Speaker 2: You're like the biggest basketball fan in the world, you
33:57
Speaker 2: freaking liar. You liar, Spike Lee, you knew. Lying son
34:01
Speaker 2: of a bitch. I didn't know. And what about all
34:05
Speaker 2: those babies getting killed in Palestine? I go, hey, Spike, stupid, okay?
34:09
Speaker 2: Babies aren't getting killed in Palestine. Where are you getting
34:11
Speaker 2: information from? Let me guess, the Palestinian health ministry run
34:15
Speaker 2: by Hamas. Because everybody else says it, that you hang
34:19
Speaker 2: out with Spike. How about do your homework? How about
34:22
Speaker 2: be smarter? I don't got to talk to you.
34:24
Speaker 20: Click.
34:25
Speaker 2: Hung up the phone on me. He can't make it up.
34:28
Speaker 2: And the funny part is, the day after Spike Lee
34:32
Speaker 2: did that to me, because this was during the Knicks
34:33
Speaker 2: championship run, that's when I wanted to bring him on.
34:36
Speaker 2: The very next day, Tracy Morgan came on the show
34:39
Speaker 2: and was great. You guys remember that?
34:41
Speaker 18: Yeah.
34:42
Speaker 2: So Spike Lee, clearly very sensitive when you bring up Palestine.
34:47
Speaker 27: Why?
34:47
Speaker 2: And I hope it gets back to him because Spike
34:49
Speaker 2: Lee is a moron. He's a moron. He's a racist.
34:52
Speaker 2: He's a moron.
34:53
Speaker 5: And he's stupid.
34:55
Speaker 2: Now, I do like some of his movies. 25th Hour
34:57
Speaker 2: was great. You know.
34:59
Speaker 1: Do the Right Thing.
35:00
Speaker 2: Do the Right Thing was pretty good. Daniel Yellow was
35:02
Speaker 2: in that. I miss him.
35:03
Speaker 20: X was pretty good.
35:05
Speaker 2: You know, he made some good movies. But as a person,
35:09
Speaker 2: he's a loser. And I hope it gets back to you, Spike.
35:12
Speaker 2: You're a loser. And you're dumb. I mean, can't any
35:15
Speaker 2: of you people who hang out in these circles really
35:18
Speaker 2: do your homework? Just do your homework. You know, we're
35:22
Speaker 2: getting ready in two days to commemorate October the 7th.
35:25
Speaker 2: That was the genocide. That was the criminality. Not Bibi Netanyahu,
35:31
Speaker 2: not Israel, not how Israel defends themselves. That's not the issue. Okay, dummy? Well,
35:38
Speaker 2: both could be true. Yeah, it could be true if
35:40
Speaker 2: it was true. But it's not. No country in the world,
35:44
Speaker 2: including the United States, does a better job of protecting civilians.
35:49
Speaker 2: Do some die?
35:50
Speaker 18: Of course.
35:51
Speaker 2: Of course. Maybe you want to blame Hamas for setting
35:55
Speaker 2: up their headquarters in schools where children are. Guess what?
35:59
Speaker 2: Israel is going to kill the terrorists and innocent people
36:02
Speaker 2: are going to die. That's how it goes when you
36:05
Speaker 2: go in unprovoked and murder 1,300 people on a Shabbat
36:09
Speaker 2: holiday morning, you dumb bastard. Hamas puts their headquarters in
36:15
Speaker 2: schools and hospitals and all those places where people are killed.
36:20
Speaker 2: Accusing Israel of committing genocide because you're not doing your
36:23
Speaker 2: homework and you're dumb. And Spike, you're just one of them. Congratulations.
36:28
Speaker 2: Good Nick fan. Make a good movie every now and then.
36:31
Speaker 2: But otherwise, complete loser. Think it gets back to him, though?
36:36
Speaker 1: That'll get back to him, yeah.
36:37
Speaker 2: So Kathy Hochul and Spike Lee love me this morning.
36:39
Speaker 2: What do you think?
36:41
Speaker 1: Two members of your fan club.
36:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love both of those people. And you know what?
36:45
Speaker 2: Add a third one to the list. Let's go up
36:46
Speaker 2: with three. What do you say? Zach Bryan. What are
36:49
Speaker 2: you doing? Zach Bryan showing solidarity to Macklemore and Ed
36:55
Speaker 2: Sheeran wearing a free Palestine shirt at Gillette Stadium, the
36:59
Speaker 2: same place where Robert Kraft made sure that Macklemore couldn't perform.
37:03
Speaker 2: And I found out this morning that our very own
37:05
Speaker 2: Justin Ellick is a huge Zach Bryan fan.
37:08
Speaker 18: Really?
37:08
Speaker 11: Yes.
37:09
Speaker 2: What do you think about that?
37:12
Speaker 1: He wanted to stick it in the eye of Kraft,
37:14
Speaker 1: do it right in the stadium.
37:15
Speaker 2: He did it.
37:16
Speaker 11: And he did.
37:17
Speaker 2: He did it. I don't really know a lot of
37:19
Speaker 2: his music. I like country music. I'm not a crazy
37:22
Speaker 2: country music person. I do like it. And I like,
37:24
Speaker 2: for the most part, what those people stand for. Republicans, conservatives,
37:29
Speaker 2: real Americans. Not like Spike Lee. But I'm not a
37:32
Speaker 2: huge fan of Zach Bryan. I mean, I guess if
37:34
Speaker 2: you play his song, I'll recognize it. But I just
37:37
Speaker 2: don't care, you know. Free Palestine. Yeah, I don't know.
37:41
Speaker 2: Are you a big fan of Zach?
37:43
Speaker 13: I know him. I just am not quite so familiar.
37:46
Speaker 13: I know Justin's into it.
37:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, Justin loves him. What big news stories? I guess
37:52
Speaker 2: the other one out of Israel is that the co-pilot
37:57
Speaker 2: was looking, or was it the pilot? I keep forgetting
37:59
Speaker 2: which one was the bad guy.
38:00
Speaker 1: He was the co-pilot.
38:00
Speaker 2: The co-pilot was, his intention, at least this is what
38:04
Speaker 2: the Israeli found out, was he was going to kill
38:07
Speaker 2: the pilot, which he almost did, and crash the plane
38:11
Speaker 2: into Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, which would have
38:15
Speaker 2: been a huge, huge accident. Disaster.
38:19
Speaker 11: Huge.
38:19
Speaker 24: It's amazing when you think about all the people who
38:21
Speaker 24: ran in to grab that co-pilot, that plumber, who grabbed
38:25
Speaker 24: to put him in a chokehold, grabbed him to the ground,
38:28
Speaker 24: and then you had other passengers who tied him up.
38:30
Speaker 5: Yeah.
38:30
Speaker 2: Hold on. You're talking about the plumber?
38:32
Speaker 20: Yeah.
38:32
Speaker 2: Have you ever heard of Ami Kozak?
38:34
Speaker 18: No.
38:35
Speaker 2: Oh, my God. He's hilarious. He's a comedian. I think
38:38
Speaker 2: he's Israeli. And he does impersonations like Lou. He's so good.
38:44
Speaker 2: So I saw him this weekend do a whole thing
38:46
Speaker 2: on Tucker Carlson. And it sounded like Tucker exactly. It
38:50
Speaker 2: doesn't look like Tucker. But he did a whole, I guess,
38:54
Speaker 2: spoof on President Trump recapping the fly Dubai cockpit attack
38:59
Speaker 2: and specifically talking about the plumber. You want to hear it? Yeah.
39:03
Speaker 2: This is Ami Kozak. Lewis, this is cut number four,
39:07
Speaker 2: talking about Trump and the plumber.
39:10
Speaker 1: Just listen to Donald Trump's recap of the events.
39:13
Speaker 13: This guy.
39:15
Speaker 28: Storms the cockpit, he restrains the guy, and he's a plumber.
39:18
Speaker 28: He's an Israeli plumber. He's a plumber, if you can
39:22
Speaker 28: believe it. He's a plumber, and he grabs he grabs the,
39:26
Speaker 28: he grabs the lever and he pulls it up.
39:28
Speaker 5: He pulls up the lever.
39:29
Speaker 28: And these aren't like those old steering wheel planes that,
39:32
Speaker 28: and you know, the ones we used to fly. This
39:33
Speaker 28: is a, this is, and he's never, he never flown
39:36
Speaker 28: a plane in his life. He's a plumber, but I
39:39
Speaker 28: guess he's used to dealing with a lot of and
39:41
Speaker 28: he grabbed the lever and he's, he must be, he's
39:43
Speaker 28: lifting pipe all day. Lifting pipe all day. He lifts
39:47
Speaker 28: the lever and he sees this show about planes. I
39:50
Speaker 28: don't like to watch that show.
39:52
Speaker 2: You know, all the craziness.
39:53
Speaker 5: He lifts the pipe.
39:54
Speaker 28: They tied the person down. They tied his arms, the terrorist.
39:59
Speaker 28: And this guy was in bad shape, really bad shape.
40:01
Speaker 28: The other pilot, he was stabbed by a whack job
40:04
Speaker 28: or a terrorist or both. Probably both. A whack job terrorist.
40:08
Speaker 28: Stabs the pilot. They help the pilot. There's a lot
40:10
Speaker 28: of doctors on board.
40:11
Speaker 5: They're Jewish, of course.
40:12
Speaker 2: There's a lot of doctors.
40:14
Speaker 28: This guy lifts the plane and he safely lands the
40:16
Speaker 28: plane because he watches these shows.
40:17
Speaker 5: Can you believe that?
40:19
Speaker 2: And he lands the plane.
40:20
Speaker 28: A beautiful job landing a beautiful plane.
40:24
Speaker 5: A beautiful plane.
40:25
Speaker 28: Gives me second thoughts about the plane I got from Qatar.
40:28
Speaker 28: I might have some Israelis on board just in case
40:30
Speaker 28: they need to land it because I don't know what's
40:31
Speaker 28: going on with that Qatari plane they gave me.
40:34
Speaker 2: But this is a plumber.
40:35
Speaker 28: If a plumber can do this, my God, my plumber
40:37
Speaker 28: could barely fix the stuffed toilet I did the other day.
40:40
Speaker 2: It was a lot of happy meals.
40:41
Speaker 5: I had a lot of happy meals.
40:43
Speaker 2: And it was a disaster.
40:44
Speaker 28: It was a total disaster. The plumber couldn't fix it.
40:46
Speaker 28: I need to get some Israeli plumbers because not only
40:48
Speaker 28: can they stuff and unstuff and unclog the toilet, they
40:51
Speaker 28: can safely land hijacked planes.
40:52
Speaker 6: Can you believe that?
40:57
Speaker 2: Pretty good, no, guys?
40:58
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was good.
40:59
Speaker 2: Ami Kozak is this guy's name. You've got to go
41:02
Speaker 2: watch him on Instagram. He has so many amazing videos
41:07
Speaker 2: like that. Okay, so what was the rest of that story?
41:09
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
41:10
Speaker 1: Oh, I was just saying that.
41:12
Speaker 24: They now think that that co-pilot was a lone wolf.
41:15
Speaker 1: That's what they're going for.
41:16
Speaker 2: Lone wolf. I believe that, too. And then you have,
41:18
Speaker 2: of course, again, the folks that want to blame Israel
41:21
Speaker 2: for everything, the real Jew haters, the Holocaust deniers, even
41:25
Speaker 2: not Jew haters, America haters, the 9-11 deniers. And now
41:31
Speaker 2: you've got people saying this thing with the airplane never happened.
41:34
Speaker 1: Well, and then you have if the Israelis are so genocidal.
41:37
Speaker 24: Wouldn't it have been okay for the people on board
41:40
Speaker 24: to have killed that pilot?
41:41
Speaker 5: Of course.
41:42
Speaker 1: I mean, they could have taken him out right there.
41:43
Speaker 2: Of course.
41:44
Speaker 1: It was quite the opposite. They administered aid.
41:46
Speaker 5: To that guy.
41:46
Speaker 2: I know.
41:47
Speaker 1: They gave him medical aid until the plane landed.
41:49
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Nobody cares about the
41:52
Speaker 2: facts anymore. Hating on stuff is fantastic.
41:54
Speaker 1: It was pretty great.
41:56
Speaker 24: Over the weekend, the prime minister, Bibi Netanyahu, went on to, like,
42:00
Speaker 24: the equivalent of Yelp in Israel, you know, a review site,
42:04
Speaker 24: to say that Yaniv Hayon, the plumber, is a great plumber.
42:07
Speaker 24: And anybody in Israel should use him. He said, I
42:09
Speaker 24: give him, you know, five stars.
42:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Laura Loomer was at a rally with
42:13
Speaker 2: the president on Friday. And she was on this show
42:16
Speaker 2: the day before. And she played the video where one
42:21
Speaker 2: of these guys, I don't think it was a plumber,
42:23
Speaker 2: but one of them said to Bibi, can you make
42:27
Speaker 2: my dream happen? I want to meet Trump. Did you
42:30
Speaker 2: see that?
42:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the plumber.
42:31
Speaker 2: It was a plumber. So Laura Loomer, I guess, is
42:33
Speaker 2: the one that made President Trump aware of it. She
42:36
Speaker 2: was on this show the day before. Her and I
42:38
Speaker 2: are close. And Trump did the truth social about it.
42:41
Speaker 2: And then he did the video afterwards, I guess, and
42:43
Speaker 2: maybe at the same time.
42:44
Speaker 6: I don't know.
42:45
Speaker 2: But I think Laura Loomer was the one who made
42:47
Speaker 2: him aware of that.
42:48
Speaker 24: I mean, when you think about what this guy did,
42:49
Speaker 24: he put the that pilot, the attacker into a chokehold.
42:53
Speaker 1: He grabs and pulls him out of the cockpit.
42:55
Speaker 24: And then because he had been a big fan of
42:57
Speaker 24: this TV show called Mayday Air Crash Investigation, which I've
43:00
Speaker 24: never heard of, but he had watched enough that he
43:03
Speaker 24: knew what to do to right the plane.
43:05
Speaker 1: You know, it was in dive mode at that point.
43:07
Speaker 24: And he righted the plane until there just coincidentally was
43:09
Speaker 24: another crew on board that took over and then landed
43:12
Speaker 24: the plane.
43:12
Speaker 11: Unreal.
43:13
Speaker 2: About 15,000 feet. Look at Craig Carton back on Fox News.
43:16
Speaker 2: He's on like every day, this kid. I saw him
43:19
Speaker 2: last week. on with Brian Kilmeade on Fox and Friends.
43:23
Speaker 2: He's on right now. WNBA star A.J. Wilson's fan clash
43:27
Speaker 2: sparks firestorm. So he replaced Clay Travis with Outkick, you know.
43:33
Speaker 2: He was doing Fox Sports. Fox Sports won. He left
43:36
Speaker 2: WFAN with the Fox Sports one. Then he left Fox
43:39
Speaker 2: Sports one to go back to WFAN. But he was
43:42
Speaker 2: still doing a podcast on Fox Sports. And that made
43:45
Speaker 2: Fox News part of the family. So now he's got
43:47
Speaker 2: the outkick gig, and he's on Boxing Plans every week,
43:50
Speaker 2: sitting on the couch right now with Lawrence Jones, Brian Kilmeade,
43:54
Speaker 2: and Ainsley Earhart.
43:55
Speaker 5: Me?
43:55
Speaker 2: I can't get anywhere near the place. They have security
43:59
Speaker 2: blocks away keeping me out of there. Way to go, Craig.
44:02
Speaker 2: What else you got?
44:02
Speaker 1: He's on the couch, I said.
44:03
Speaker 2: He's on the couch. Wow.
44:04
Speaker 5: That's big.
44:05
Speaker 2: Isn't that unbelievable?
44:06
Speaker 11: Huge.
44:07
Speaker 2: On the couch.
44:07
Speaker 18: On the couch. Yeah.
44:09
Speaker 4: Wow.
44:09
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful couch.
44:10
Speaker 20: I mean, he's great.
44:10
Speaker 26: It's one of those great couches. It's a beautiful couch.
44:14
Speaker 26: Sometimes the Israelis make a great couch.
44:16
Speaker 17: They do.
44:16
Speaker 26: They have great doctors over there. It's hard to say,
44:20
Speaker 26: but if you're on the couch, you're on the couch.
44:22
Speaker 5: That's what it is.
44:23
Speaker 1: You're on the couch.
44:24
Speaker 2: No one wants to be on the couch. I know that.
44:26
Speaker 13: It's when you've made it.
44:27
Speaker 2: You've made it.
44:28
Speaker 13: It's a great couch.
44:29
Speaker 2: Thank you, Mr.
44:30
Speaker 5: President.
44:30
Speaker 2: What else you got for us today, Nomi?
44:32
Speaker 24: We got the search still for this medical transport jet.
44:36
Speaker 24: Over the weekend, a plane was taking somebody who was
44:38
Speaker 24: very sick from Bermuda to Nantucket for medical care, and
44:42
Speaker 24: the plane went missing. So now you have the people
44:45
Speaker 24: who were aboard this flight, you have the actual medical
44:47
Speaker 24: patient and somebody who was with him, a family member,
44:50
Speaker 24: and they think this plane crashed into the ocean. They
44:52
Speaker 24: found a debris field, but they so far haven't found
44:55
Speaker 24: any sign of the individuals that were aboard that plane.
44:58
Speaker 1: I guess they'll start looking for it again this morning.
45:01
Speaker 24: And then the big question over the weekend is, What
45:03
Speaker 24: do you do with this woman that they tried to
45:06
Speaker 24: execute in Tennessee last week?
45:09
Speaker 2: I don't care. Like, look, I understand that prisoners are people, too.
45:13
Speaker 2: I get all that. But this lady did a horrible thing.
45:17
Speaker 2: She murdered another person, another lady, and she actually, like
45:21
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Dahmer, kept the skull as a souvenir. So, I mean,
45:26
Speaker 2: I'm having a lot of trouble here being sympathetic. I'm sorry.
45:31
Speaker 2: She got the death penalty because she's a murderous lowlife. So,
45:35
Speaker 2: you know, on a human level, yes, she should just die.
45:39
Speaker 2: And that's the end of it. But the outpour of
45:42
Speaker 2: almost sympathy for a murderer. It didn't make it to me.
45:47
Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
45:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is amazing. I mean, she tortured her victim.
45:50
Speaker 2: Torture?
45:51
Speaker 1: This female victim.
45:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, and kept the skull as a souvenir.
45:54
Speaker 1: They hit her over and over again with cement brick.
45:56
Speaker 2: And you've got people that are, I mean, who cares?
45:59
Speaker 2: I mean, again, ideally, yeah, she's a human being. You
46:02
Speaker 2: want to do it. That sounds great, okay.
46:05
Speaker 1: So she's on a ventilator. She's critically ill.
46:07
Speaker 24: Her lawyer taking to the news shows over the weekend saying,
46:10
Speaker 24: that she at least should be taken off of execution
46:13
Speaker 24: watch and then just set to spend the rest.
46:15
Speaker 1: Of her life in jail.
46:16
Speaker 2: No, no, just shoot her. Greg Kelly had the right idea.
46:18
Speaker 2: Just shoot her. Sometimes the electric chair doesn't work. I
46:23
Speaker 2: guess some people can handle the voltage. Sometimes these injections
46:27
Speaker 2: don't work because it's difficult to find a vein. Guess
46:29
Speaker 2: what works? 20 bullets to the head. Just shoot her.
46:33
Speaker 2: She doesn't deserve to live now because it didn't work.
46:36
Speaker 2: She's a murderer. And what she did was really gross,
46:40
Speaker 2: really over the top, really over the top. She deserves
46:43
Speaker 2: to die just like her victim did. So just shoot her.
46:48
Speaker 2: What else do you have?
46:49
Speaker 24: One of the people that witnessed that execution was a relative,
46:53
Speaker 24: the sister of the victim. You can imagine how horrifying
46:56
Speaker 24: it was for her because she thought, okay, I'm finally
46:58
Speaker 24: going to see this woman die.
47:00
Speaker 1: And she's still alive today.
47:01
Speaker 6: Yeah.
47:02
Speaker 24: The president was crisscrossing the country over the weekend, trying
47:07
Speaker 24: to drag some Republicans across the finish line in the midterms.
47:10
Speaker 1: He was in Ohio. He was in Alabama. Big rallies.
47:14
Speaker 1: The question is, will it make a difference? Is it
47:15
Speaker 1: too late?
47:16
Speaker 24: Some polls show the Democrats for sure taking over Congress
47:20
Speaker 24: and with a good shot of taking over the Senate.
47:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw that, too. How many days away now
47:25
Speaker 2: is it exactly?
47:26
Speaker 1: Well, today's the 5th, and Election Day is.
47:29
Speaker 2: The 3rd, right?
47:30
Speaker 1: 3rd, I think that's right, so.
47:32
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's the fifth.
47:33
Speaker 11: It's 25.
47:33
Speaker 2: It's like 28 days.
47:34
Speaker 1: A little less than a month.
47:36
Speaker 2: Well, less than a month. About 28 days, yeah. All right.
47:39
Speaker 2: Anything else?
47:40
Speaker 6: No.
47:40
Speaker 1: I think that was the big stories of the day.
47:42
Speaker 2: The Giants won yesterday.
47:43
Speaker 24: That was big, but we still don't know whether we
47:46
Speaker 24: have a good quarterback there.
47:47
Speaker 2: Well, he did engineer a couple of touchdown drives.
47:51
Speaker 1: He also threw two interceptions.
47:52
Speaker 2: That's him. That's James. He's feast or famine every game.
47:56
Speaker 2: Like you mentioned a couple of weeks ago, 30 touchdowns
47:58
Speaker 2: and 30 picks in the same season. But at least
48:01
Speaker 2: he's moving the team. I mean, those first couple of games,
48:04
Speaker 2: it was pathetic, you know. But they get the win,
48:07
Speaker 2: a special day, too, if you weren't paying attention, because
48:11
Speaker 2: at halftime of yesterday's giant win over Arizona, they actually
48:16
Speaker 2: honored the first giant team ever to win a Super Bowl.
48:20
Speaker 2: Don't forget, the Giants have won four Super Bowls. They've
48:22
Speaker 2: been to five. They're four and one. The only loss,
48:25
Speaker 2: Kerry Collins to the Baltimore Ravens. They won four. Bill Sims,
48:30
Speaker 2: Jeff Hostetler, and Eli Manning twice. The 86 team was
48:34
Speaker 2: the first to get there. They won. They were trailing
48:37
Speaker 2: John Elway and the Denver Broncos at halftime in Pasadena.
48:40
Speaker 2: They came out and destroyed the Broncos in the second half.
48:44
Speaker 2: Everybody's favorite play was the flea flicker with Phil McConkie
48:47
Speaker 2: and Mark Bavaro, and Bill Sims was amazing. He won
48:51
Speaker 2: the MVP of that game and then won the MVP
48:54
Speaker 2: of the Pro Bowl that year, too. He set a
48:56
Speaker 2: record that year. I think it's been broken since, but
48:58
Speaker 2: he set a record for completion percentage. He was just amazing.
49:02
Speaker 2: So yesterday at halftime, Sims spoke and Lawrence, and they
49:06
Speaker 2: honored 40 years later. If you remember that night, I do.
49:10
Speaker 2: I watched the game at the Rocco's house. My dear
49:12
Speaker 2: friend Jerry Rocco, mom and dad Susan and Vinnie Rocco
49:17
Speaker 2: on Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn. Used to hold a Super
49:19
Speaker 2: Bowl party every year. Scott Arbus, I mentioned him quite
49:23
Speaker 2: a bit. He was there with his late parents, two
49:25
Speaker 2: great people, Al and Diane. The Trunzes, Howie and, excuse me,
49:30
Speaker 2: Barbara and Shelly, their son Howie. And we watched it there.
49:34
Speaker 2: Forty years when Sims and the Giants beat the Broncos.
49:39
Speaker 2: So that was nice.
49:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was fun to watch.
49:41
Speaker 2: And the Jets were terrible yesterday. They're just terrible. Doesn't matter,
49:45
Speaker 2: Geno Smith or what they do. They had nothing on
49:48
Speaker 2: offense against the Bears. I mean, nothing. The defense never
49:51
Speaker 2: comes up big, ever. So they're 1-3. And the Rangers
49:55
Speaker 2: keep winning. How about the New York Hockey Rangers? Nobody cares. Tonight,
50:00
Speaker 2: Game 2 of the ALDS, the Yankees, and Cam Schlittler.
50:05
Speaker 2: who was amazing for the Yanks in that game one,
50:09
Speaker 2: 9-0 beating of the Boston Red Sox in the wild
50:12
Speaker 2: card series. He's going to tow the rubber tonight, hoping
50:16
Speaker 2: to stop the Yankees from going down like the Padres are,
50:20
Speaker 2: two games to zero. But it looks to me, Noam,
50:24
Speaker 2: that the Yanks are in must-win mode tonight. Or is
50:27
Speaker 2: that an extreme statement?
50:29
Speaker 24: Well, it would be big if they came away from
50:31
Speaker 24: Florida with a win, no? Then came back to New York.
50:33
Speaker 29: Yeah.
50:34
Speaker 18: I guess. I don't know.
50:35
Speaker 13: They have to win.
50:36
Speaker 2: They've got to win.
50:37
Speaker 13: They can't go down 0-2.
50:38
Speaker 2: Can't do it?
50:39
Speaker 1: People have come back from 2-0.
50:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. Now, 3-0, although the Red Sox did
50:43
Speaker 2: it against the Yankees years ago. No, no, no.
50:46
Speaker 25: 3-0, it's over.
50:46
Speaker 2: It's over? Oh, it's a best of five. It's not
50:49
Speaker 2: the best of seven. Oh, right. Right. So who was right?
50:51
Speaker 2: It's okay in there. No, I forgot. I keep thinking
50:54
Speaker 2: best of seven.
50:55
Speaker 1: Same here.
50:55
Speaker 2: So if the Rays win tonight, then the Yankees have
50:58
Speaker 2: got to win three in a row.
50:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have to win tonight, then.
51:01
Speaker 18: They do? Yeah.
51:02
Speaker 2: Are they going to? Cam Schlitter was the best pitcher
51:04
Speaker 2: in baseball. I know.
51:04
Speaker 1: And, well, it was only 1-0 game one, so.
51:08
Speaker 18: Right.
51:09
Speaker 1: They just have to score a couple of runs.
51:10
Speaker 2: I guess. Of course, Schlitter's going to hold down the race.
51:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, if they can get one or two runs, that
51:14
Speaker 1: might be enough tonight.
51:15
Speaker 29: Yeah.
51:15
Speaker 2: You're going to watch it, though?
51:17
Speaker 25: He'll never have a bad outing.
51:21
Speaker 13: Come on.
51:22
Speaker 2: No, they need to win. Lose right. All right, we've
51:23
Speaker 2: got a good guest list today.
51:25
Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
51:29
Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
51:31
Speaker 2: The Giants stave off the Cardinals, who had four chances
51:36
Speaker 2: inside the five to win the game. And don't look now.
51:40
Speaker 2: I know that Jackson Dart is done for the year,
51:43
Speaker 2: and at times, Jameis Winston's not sure what team he's on.
51:48
Speaker 2: Don't look now, Noam, but the football Giants, with a
51:51
Speaker 2: record of 3-1. I believe this is the first time
51:54
Speaker 2: in like a decade that sit alone atop the NFC East.
52:00
Speaker 2: Did you realize that, Noah?
52:01
Speaker 6: I did.
52:01
Speaker 1: I saw that.
52:02
Speaker 2: 3-1. The Eagles, they lost at home to the Rams,
52:05
Speaker 2: gave up two fourth-quarter touchdowns yesterday. They lost 24-20. They're
52:10
Speaker 2: now 2-2. Dallas, they get the win in Houston, and
52:15
Speaker 2: they got a great offense, man. Pickens and Lamb and
52:18
Speaker 2: Prescott and Williams. So they improved to 2-2. Washington is
52:23
Speaker 2: now down to their third-string quarterback, some kid from Rutgers.
52:27
Speaker 2: Donola must have been happy. Not for much longer, though. No.
52:30
Speaker 2: Jane Daniels coming back next week. Next week. They got
52:32
Speaker 2: blown out, though, by the Colts in London yesterday. They're 1-3.
52:36
Speaker 2: So the Giants are 3-1 atop the division. There are
52:41
Speaker 2: still three teams undefeated in football. And for the guys
52:45
Speaker 2: that bet the games this weekend, if you took the Chiefs,
52:47
Speaker 2: for example, you laid four. The Chiefs are up by four.
52:52
Speaker 2: It's a push. They score a touchdown to go up
52:55
Speaker 2: by four late. And the ensuing kickoff, the Raiders fumble.
52:59
Speaker 2: You can't make this up. The Chiefs take over deep
53:02
Speaker 2: inside Raider territory, hand the ball to Walker, who last
53:06
Speaker 2: year won the Super Bowl with Seattle, and he's playing
53:08
Speaker 2: amazing for Kansas City. He runs it right in. So
53:11
Speaker 2: the Chiefs are up 11. So you're collecting cash if
53:14
Speaker 2: you got the Chiefs, right, Noam?
53:16
Speaker 18: Yeah.
53:17
Speaker 4: Wrong.
53:18
Speaker 2: The Raiders go downfield all of a sudden. All of
53:21
Speaker 2: a sudden, Kirk Cousins, it's like Johnny Unitas. They score
53:25
Speaker 2: a touchdown. They go for two, and they get it.
53:29
Speaker 2: And the Chiefs win by three. So you lost that
53:32
Speaker 2: game if you had the Chiefs. The other undefeated team
53:35
Speaker 2: is the Minnesota Vikings. They went to 4-0. They beat
53:39
Speaker 2: the Dolphins. The Vikings were favored by 10 yesterday. They've
53:43
Speaker 2: got a five-point lead. Less than a minute to go.
53:45
Speaker 2: Dolphins are out of timeouts. Kyler Murray throws a pass
53:49
Speaker 2: to the tight end, Hawkinson. He's running in for a touchdown.
53:55
Speaker 2: He voluntarily falls down at the one-yard line. That made
53:59
Speaker 2: no sense. Hansen kept saying it's the right play. No,
54:02
Speaker 2: you do that when it's a one-score game. So the
54:05
Speaker 2: opposition doesn't get the football back. If the Vikings score
54:08
Speaker 2: a touchdown there, they go up by 12, and the
54:11
Speaker 2: Dolphins have no timeouts. That was not the right play.
54:14
Speaker 2: It was dumb, actually. I didn't care because I didn't
54:18
Speaker 2: bet the game. But if you had the Vikings and
54:21
Speaker 2: you laid 10 and you watch this guy about to
54:23
Speaker 2: go into the end zone to give the Vikings an
54:25
Speaker 2: 11-point lead, fall down at the one-yard line, you want
54:29
Speaker 2: to kill yourself, though. So the Vikings are undefeated, even
54:33
Speaker 2: with a crappy quarterback, Kyler Murray. He's not good. And
54:37
Speaker 2: the third team that's unbeaten is the San Francisco 49ers.
54:41
Speaker 2: They look great. Brock Purdy looks amazing. When he's healthy,
54:45
Speaker 2: that guy never loses. And they made pretty easy work
54:49
Speaker 2: of the Denver Broncos yesterday. So the three teams that
54:52
Speaker 2: are still unbeaten in the NFL, the Chiefs, the Vikings,
54:57
Speaker 2: and the 49ers. But the Giants, 3-1, sole possession. of
55:02
Speaker 2: first place atop the NFC East. All right, four to

Speaker 31: Bernard McGurk.

58:00
Speaker 32: I'm happy to announce, this is actually great news in
58:05
Speaker 32: terms of, if you love listening to the radio, that
58:08
Speaker 32: the WABC has decided to team up Bernard McGurk and
58:14
Speaker 32: Sid Rosenberg, and put them on the radio at 10 o'clock.
58:18
Speaker 4: This morning and every other morning after that.
58:20
Speaker 20: Bernie and Sid.
58:22
Speaker 5: Oh, my God.
58:24
Speaker 32: Now, Bernie's still going to be on our program, of course,
58:27
Speaker 32: an executive producer of the Iverson Way program forever.
58:30
Speaker 2: And Sid, of course, we work with Sid.
58:33
Speaker 11: Sid used to do sports.
58:34
Speaker 2: You want to finish that thought, I-Man?
58:36
Speaker 6: There you go, the I-Man.
58:38
Speaker 2: Well, it doesn't get.
58:39
Speaker 6: Pump it up, Bernie and Sid.
58:40
Speaker 2: How about that for a ringing endorsement? Don Imus loves
58:43
Speaker 2: the show already.
58:44
Speaker 6: It doesn't get any better.
58:46
Speaker 2: That is huge, man.
58:47
Speaker 6: That is huge. Do you feel the pressure?
58:50
Speaker 2: Not really, no.
58:53
Speaker 6: I got to say, though, Bernie and Sid, we sound
58:55
Speaker 6: like a gay Jewish couple.
58:56
Speaker 2: We do a little bit. One of those, like, Muppet things. Two, like,
58:59
Speaker 2: old Muppet guys in the movie theater on the very,
59:01
Speaker 2: very top. That's kind of us, too.
59:03
Speaker 6: We are kind of married at this point.
59:05
Speaker 2: We are. We are.
59:06
Speaker 18: But.
59:07
Speaker 6: It's a good thing.
59:08
Speaker 8: Yeah.
59:08
Speaker 6: You look good. No conjugal relationship here, though.
59:13
Speaker 2: Not yet. Let me reassure the audience of that.
59:15
Speaker 18: Right.
59:16
Speaker 6: But not that that would be a bad thing.
59:18
Speaker 11: No, no.
59:18
Speaker 6: It's a beautiful thing.
59:19
Speaker 2: And you would get the much better of the deal
59:21
Speaker 2: at this point. Did that for a couple of years,
59:23
Speaker 2: and then Chad Lopez, as a smart guy, but he
59:27
Speaker 2: brought me back from Florida. He will go down as
59:31
Speaker 2: one of the greatest radio executives ever for that move.
59:35
Speaker 2: He will. Hall of Fame coming up for me in
59:37
Speaker 2: about two weeks. And then, that wasn't it. Then, and
59:41
Speaker 2: that was against a load of people. They didn't want
59:44
Speaker 2: me back, and they don't want me and Bernie, of course.
59:47
Speaker 2: And then, when Imus was fired, or resigned, whatever you
59:50
Speaker 2: want to say, I don't care. He decided to put
59:53
Speaker 2: me and Bernie there. Others didn't want it. Didn't want it.
59:56
Speaker 2: He did.
59:57
Speaker 18: So....
59:59
Speaker 2: The reason why I played that, though, today is it
1:00:01
Speaker 2: was four years ago today that Bernard passed away. So
1:00:04
Speaker 2: four years ago today, we lost him. And Saturday, you know,
1:00:09
Speaker 2: I spoke to Carol McGurk already this morning. I spoke
1:00:12
Speaker 2: to Carol at about 545, his beautiful wife. And his daughter, Melanie,
1:00:17
Speaker 2: is getting married this Saturday and will be there. So
1:00:21
Speaker 2: he's missed a lot. He's got two grandsons now from
1:00:24
Speaker 2: his son. His daughter's getting married on Saturday. But as
1:00:27
Speaker 2: I said earlier, About 90 minutes ago. I can only
1:00:31
Speaker 2: hope that he sees all of it. Just like I
1:00:33
Speaker 2: hope my dad sees all my success. So, Bernard, we
1:00:37
Speaker 2: miss you and love you. And continue to rest in peace.
1:00:40
Speaker 2: Four years ago today. We'll take a short break. When
1:00:43
Speaker 2: we get back, this guy loves us. And he's a very,
1:00:46
Speaker 2: very big deal. The Maha Group. They had a big
1:00:49
Speaker 2: day last week. Robert Kennedy. Mike Tyson. Dr. Oz. And
1:00:56
Speaker 2: Oz is on this show all the time now. I'm
1:00:57
Speaker 2: a man. And he reached out. He wants to come
1:01:00
Speaker 2: on today. And he should. Big, big doings in this Obamacare,
1:01:05
Speaker 2: the fraud, Medicare, Medicaid. So we'll take a short break.
1:01:09
Speaker 2: Still more to come. Hank Schoenkopf is going to be here.
1:01:12
Speaker 2: Councilman David Carr is going to be here.
1:01:15
Speaker 3: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
1:01:19
Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
1:01:21
Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman, Sid Rosenberg, President Trump. You like that trio?
1:01:27
Speaker 13: It's a great trio.
1:01:28
Speaker 18: Yes, Mr. President.
1:01:29
Speaker 11: Many trios.
1:01:29
Speaker 13: That's one of the greats.
1:01:30
Speaker 2: That'll be funny. Me, Blakeman, and Trump, it looks like.
1:01:33
Speaker 2: And one more on Hochul before I get to ours.
1:01:35
Speaker 2: You know, just to add to what a moron she is,
1:01:38
Speaker 2: this really sensitive Cornell case, and a lot of information's
1:01:42
Speaker 2: coming out, maybe she was okay with a guy or two,
1:01:45
Speaker 2: not seven, certainly. And I have been, as I usually am,
1:01:50
Speaker 2: I lean towards the woman in this case. I lend
1:01:52
Speaker 2: my support usually to the woman. But either way, we
1:01:54
Speaker 2: don't know yet criminally. You know, morally, it was reprehensible
1:01:58
Speaker 2: what these guys did. I don't care what anybody says. Criminally,
1:02:00
Speaker 2: we don't know. She brings Letitia James, the hack AG,
1:02:04
Speaker 2: to the case. This hack AG. And if you looked
1:02:08
Speaker 2: at Letitia James' Facebook page about a week ago, she's
1:02:11
Speaker 2: already decided those kids are guilty. Can't do that. Can't
1:02:15
Speaker 2: do it. How do you bring this AG to the case?
1:02:18
Speaker 2: She's already decided the Cornell 7 are guilty.
1:02:21
Speaker 13: Well, she was asked, too, about it.
1:02:23
Speaker 26: At a little press conference, and she just stared blankly
1:02:27
Speaker 26: at the person asking and said, I'm not going to
1:02:29
Speaker 26: comment on.
1:02:29
Speaker 2: A Facebook post. She already did. So that's another issue
1:02:33
Speaker 2: with Kathy Hochul. She's just the dumbest son of a
1:02:36
Speaker 2: bitch in office today, bottom line. Dr. Oz is not.
1:02:39
Speaker 2: He's a gentleman and a genius, and I love him.
1:02:42
Speaker 2: And he is uncovering fraud every day at the Medicare level,
1:02:46
Speaker 2: Medicaid level, Obamacare level. Back on the big show again.
1:02:50
Speaker 2: We love having this guy on, Dr.
1:02:52
Speaker 5: Oz.
1:02:53
Speaker 2: Dr. Oz, good morning. How are you?
1:02:55
Speaker 18: Good morning, Sid. And I think a lot of folks
1:02:58
Speaker 18: got riled up last week when.
1:03:00
Speaker 27: The vice president, myself, and a few of the colleagues,
1:03:04
Speaker 27: Andrew Ferguson, who actually leads the White House Anti-Fraud Task Force,
1:03:08
Speaker 27: announced numbers that were stunning around the fraud in Obamacare. Now,
1:03:13
Speaker 27: I bring up Obamacare, Sid, on purpose because Democrats are
1:03:16
Speaker 27: running advertisements arguing that because we did not put up
1:03:20
Speaker 27: more of these subsidies, not the original subsidies, but the
1:03:23
Speaker 27: additional ones that the Biden administration put up just for
1:03:26
Speaker 27: a year or two during COVID, because we didn't extend
1:03:29
Speaker 27: that because COVID is over. They said we're throwing millions
1:03:32
Speaker 27: and millions of people off of Obamacare. And it turns
1:03:35
Speaker 27: out what happened during COVID when they gave these extra premiums,
1:03:39
Speaker 27: which made the policies free, Well, if it's free, you
1:03:42
Speaker 27: don't even know if you have it. And so scumbags
1:03:45
Speaker 27: had come into the marketplaces and manufactured accounts, dishonest leaks
1:03:51
Speaker 27: claiming that these accounts were real.
1:03:54
Speaker 18: And then they were charging money.
1:03:56
Speaker 27: And collecting billions from the U.S. government for policies that
1:03:59
Speaker 27: didn't exist for people who weren't real. They're called phantom accounts.
1:04:02
Speaker 27: So we had 1.1 million accounts created with no Social
1:04:06
Speaker 27: Security numbers. To remind everybody, to know if you're eligible
1:04:10
Speaker 27: for Obamacare, we have to know how much money you make.
1:04:12
Speaker 27: You really only get it if you're making between one
1:04:14
Speaker 27: and four times the poverty level. So we have to check.
1:04:17
Speaker 27: And unfortunately, if you don't give me a Social Security number,
1:04:20
Speaker 27: there's no way for me to look. And so we
1:04:21
Speaker 27: have to assume something's fishy. Normally, it never happens. We
1:04:24
Speaker 27: had 1.1 million in a row without Social Security numbers.
1:04:28
Speaker 27: We went after it. We sent these guys letters, telegrams,
1:04:31
Speaker 27: you know, PINs. carrier pigeons tell us if you're real
1:04:35
Speaker 27: did you ever file a claim did you ever use
1:04:37
Speaker 27: the insurance when they didn't respond after several months we
1:04:40
Speaker 27: took 760 000 of these phantom accounts shut them down
1:04:43
Speaker 27: and took the money back for the taxpayer that got
1:04:46
Speaker 27: all democrats crazy they just claimed these people were real
1:04:49
Speaker 27: we know they're not that's the announcement and it became
1:04:52
Speaker 27: the kind of fight you actually want because it's it
1:04:55
Speaker 27: highlighted how ridiculous some of these claims.
1:04:58
Speaker 2: Are $ 2. 2 billion when you look at those 760,000 fraudulent
1:05:03
Speaker 2: recipients that you've removed. So explain this to me, Dr. Oz,
1:05:07
Speaker 2: and I love you. You're so comfortable on the show,
1:05:09
Speaker 2: you said the word you probably wouldn't say on TV.
1:05:11
Speaker 2: I love that. And you're even laughing. Tell me, why
1:05:17
Speaker 2: would the Democrats or these brokers be upset if, in fact,
1:05:23
Speaker 2: you're exposing fraud?
1:05:24
Speaker 4: Why?
1:05:24
Speaker 18: Why?
1:05:26
Speaker 27: Well, the brokers aren't upset. They're losing money. They're just
1:05:28
Speaker 27: running away. Even the brokers acknowledge that this is ridiculous.
1:05:33
Speaker 27: And the good brokers are telling us on the bad brokers,
1:05:36
Speaker 27: which I want to highlight has been a secret to
1:05:38
Speaker 27: our success, whether it's taking out half the hospices in California,
1:05:42
Speaker 27: which were fraudulent, whether it's going after durable medical equipment suppliers,
1:05:47
Speaker 27: selling wheelchairs and canes in Queens. We have a major
1:05:50
Speaker 27: problem with social adult daycare. It's the good guys calling us.
1:05:54
Speaker 27: and telling us that in the case of Queens, the
1:05:55
Speaker 27: Chinese mafia is running a massive operation, taking the profits,
1:06:00
Speaker 27: and then running a human trafficking operation that controls the
1:06:03
Speaker 27: East Coast. So it's the good guys telling us about
1:06:06
Speaker 27: the bad guys.
1:06:06
Speaker 2: I love that.
1:06:08
Speaker 27: For the Democrats, it's all politics. They know that these
1:06:11
Speaker 27: are illegitimate accounts that don't exist, that should not be
1:06:13
Speaker 27: paid for by hardworking Americans. But it sounds really good
1:06:18
Speaker 27: if you say Republicans are throwing people off the insurance rolls,
1:06:21
Speaker 27: that they're taking frail people who desperately need help and
1:06:25
Speaker 27: taking away the one thing that America could have done
1:06:28
Speaker 27: to help them, which is insurance so they can get their.
1:06:30
Speaker 18: Illness taken care of. We're not doing that, obviously. We
1:06:33
Speaker 18: don't want to do that. But when the Democrats say
1:06:35
Speaker 18: that anyone who thinks they might want to have insurance
1:06:37
Speaker 18: can get it for free– What does that say to
1:06:39
Speaker 18: all the people who pay a lot of money for
1:06:40
Speaker 18: their insurance? And by the way, I should say this
1:06:42
Speaker 18: right up front. One of the biggest problems you've been
1:06:45
Speaker 18: running into is that there's a group of Democratic lawyers.
1:06:50
Speaker 18: We believe they're funded by George Soros. We don't know
1:06:52
Speaker 18: that for sure, but I'm getting increasingly suspicious. This group
1:06:56
Speaker 18: has sued me 150 times. around all the basic things
1:07:01
Speaker 18: that we assumed everyone agreed with around Obamacare. For example,
1:07:05
Speaker 18: I mentioned earlier that you only get eligible to Obamacare,
1:07:08
Speaker 18: as it was originally written, if you're between one and
1:07:11
Speaker 18: four times the poverty level. But they sued, and of
1:07:14
Speaker 18: course they searched for a judge who's going to be
1:07:17
Speaker 18: supportive of them. It's called venue shopping. They got a
1:07:20
Speaker 18: judge to agree that we're not allowed to check tax returns. Well,
1:07:23
Speaker 18: let me ask you this.
1:07:25
Speaker 27: If I'm only supposed to give it to you if
1:07:26
Speaker 27: you get between one and four times the poverty level,
1:07:29
Speaker 27: how do I know that? Well, that was the original
1:07:32
Speaker 27: rule in 2010. They never wrote in the law, and
1:07:36
Speaker 27: you can check the taxes. They just said, just make
1:07:39
Speaker 27: sure they're making between one and four times. Well, these
1:07:41
Speaker 27: guys sued us in front of a judge who didn't
1:07:44
Speaker 27: really want to hear, I don't think, about these other
1:07:47
Speaker 27: issues and made the decision that, you know what, you
1:07:50
Speaker 27: can't check tax returns anymore. Well, that's the kind of
1:07:53
Speaker 27: decision that really hurts the program. I'm trying to save Obamacare.
1:07:56
Speaker 27: You can't save a program if it's full of fraud.
1:07:59
Speaker 27: People stop trusting it. Instead, what we've been doing is say, okay,
1:08:04
Speaker 27: one in three people, at least, on Obamacare have never
1:08:07
Speaker 27: used the policy. That's impossible. If you have insurance that
1:08:10
Speaker 27: you paid for, especially if you're struggling financially, you're not
1:08:13
Speaker 27: going to not use it. So we don't believe these
1:08:15
Speaker 27: are all real people. We've been going through and just
1:08:18
Speaker 27: figuring out why the fraud's there. But here's the good part, Sidney.
1:08:21
Speaker 27: I want everyone to understand this, because this is how
1:08:23
Speaker 27: the president thinks about the world. If you make a
1:08:26
Speaker 27: functional system, like, for example, Obamacare that really works without
1:08:29
Speaker 27: all the fraud, who takes it? The private sector begins
1:08:32
Speaker 27: to say, hey, listen, I run a hamburger stand. I
1:08:35
Speaker 27: got 30, 40 employees. I can't afford the really big,
1:08:38
Speaker 27: expensive food. commercial insurance, but I can give my employees
1:08:43
Speaker 27: money in their pocket and let them go buy Obamacare insurance.
1:08:47
Speaker 27: And it turns out that those are called choice accounts.
1:08:50
Speaker 27: Congress has now allowed them. The president has been supportive.
1:08:53
Speaker 27: I've been traveling the country. States blue and red are
1:08:56
Speaker 27: adopting this to make sure that they can give these
1:08:59
Speaker 27: smaller companies access to.
1:09:01
Speaker 18: Health care insurance.
1:09:02
Speaker 27: That's how you make America healthy again, by giving us
1:09:05
Speaker 27: access to affordable coverage. And you can't do it if
1:09:08
Speaker 27: the system is so fraudulent that the hamburger stand guy
1:09:11
Speaker 27: doesn't trust it.
1:09:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, true. And he's also going to have to shut
1:09:14
Speaker 2: that hamburger stand down because he's not able to afford it.
1:09:16
Speaker 2: You know, I mentioned Hochul and James a little while ago, Dr. Oz.
1:09:20
Speaker 2: I'm just curious, in terms of the fraud, the health
1:09:23
Speaker 2: care fraud, does New York go past states like California, Minnesota?
1:09:29
Speaker 2: Are we the worst in the country?
1:09:32
Speaker 27: Well, financially, New York is unique. It's hard to say
1:09:36
Speaker 27: that New York is worse than California because California is
1:09:39
Speaker 27: so bad. I think California has been working at being
1:09:42
Speaker 27: bad for a long time with a governor who's been
1:09:44
Speaker 27: ignoring even the state's own auditor general's claims that they're
1:09:49
Speaker 27: ignoring the problems. And just, again, put this issue to rest.
1:09:52
Speaker 27: When we shut down a thousand hospices in California or
1:09:56
Speaker 27: shut down hundreds of thousands of illegal and contemptible fake
1:10:01
Speaker 27: accounts in Obamacare, people aren't complaining.
1:10:03
Speaker 18: If that was actually.
1:10:04
Speaker 27: Doing done to hurt Americans, Americans would put their hand
1:10:08
Speaker 27: up and say, guys, you took my business away.
1:10:10
Speaker 18: You took my insurance away. No one's complaining.
1:10:12
Speaker 27: So I'm just highlighting this because this is not whether
1:10:15
Speaker 27: we're right or wrong. It's obvious that this was fraudulent and.
1:10:18
Speaker 11: Should have happened.
1:10:19
Speaker 27: The problem in New York is that it's going one
1:10:22
Speaker 27: step beyond California in that it's allowing not just a
1:10:26
Speaker 27: jobs program to exist when you're creating jobs for people
1:10:30
Speaker 27: who are providing personal care services. Again, this is like
1:10:34
Speaker 27: someone having their child carry the groceries upstairs for grandma.
1:10:38
Speaker 27: You said you do that for free. In New York,
1:10:42
Speaker 27: we pay people to do that. But here's the part
1:10:45
Speaker 27: that's bothering me. Right now, as I speak in New York,
1:10:48
Speaker 27: The big service industry.
1:10:50
Speaker 20: Union, 1199, has somehow.
1:10:53
Speaker 27: Gotten the state and their fiscal intermediary to give them
1:10:58
Speaker 27: the information on all of these hundreds of thousands of
1:11:00
Speaker 27: people carrying groceries upstairs from bomb. They've reached out to them.
1:11:05
Speaker 27: They've gotten these guys to agree to be unionized. And
1:11:08
Speaker 27: so now, and we think this is wrong because the
1:11:11
Speaker 27: employer of those people is obviously the person who, you know,
1:11:15
Speaker 27: their grandma, the person who hired them. But the union
1:11:18
Speaker 27: is claiming that all of these people are going to
1:11:21
Speaker 27: be unionized. And that's going to be a massive problem
1:11:24
Speaker 27: because now the federal government is going to be giving
1:11:27
Speaker 27: money to the union, union dues, and what is the
1:11:30
Speaker 27: union going to do with it? Political Action Committee to
1:11:32
Speaker 27: support their candidates who support their getting more people unionized
1:11:36
Speaker 27: who don't want to be in a union. And in California,
1:11:38
Speaker 27: we found this. The same thing is going to happen
1:11:40
Speaker 27: in New York, I believe. In California, the only meeting
1:11:43
Speaker 27: you have to have to become one of these personal
1:11:45
Speaker 27: care service people is a meeting with the union representative.
1:11:49
Speaker 27: And we have 100 complaints that the union rep locked
1:11:52
Speaker 27: the door, wouldn't let you leave until you signed to
1:11:54
Speaker 27: join the union. And once you're in, you can't get out.
1:11:56
Speaker 27: And the state supports this. And that's coming to New York.
1:12:00
Speaker 27: And that was the kinds of issues because New York
1:12:02
Speaker 27: is so expensive already. The Medicaid program in New York
1:12:04
Speaker 27: is so much more expensive than anyone else's per capita.
1:12:07
Speaker 27: I mean, it's massively bigger than Florida's Medicaid offering. And yet,
1:12:13
Speaker 27: you know, it's not able to provide meaningfully different services.
1:12:16
Speaker 27: So we're just putting money bad, good after bad around
1:12:20
Speaker 27: programs that don't seem to work. That's the kind of
1:12:23
Speaker 27: discipline that. You want your state to have. Otherwise, after
1:12:26
Speaker 27: a while, these fraudsters don't just steal your money. They
1:12:29
Speaker 27: steal your health. They steal your life. And Sid, listen carefully.
1:12:32
Speaker 27: They steal your trust. These programs are built in a
1:12:35
Speaker 27: high-trust society. When we don't trust our money to go
1:12:38
Speaker 27: towards taking care of the poor, the disenfranchised, the folks
1:12:42
Speaker 27: that we all know because we're a great country, we
1:12:44
Speaker 27: want to help, people start saying, I'm not paying anymore.
1:12:46
Speaker 27: I'm not putting money into that program anymore. And you
1:12:48
Speaker 27: start shutting down programs that should have been out there
1:12:50
Speaker 27: that would have been helpful.
1:12:52
Speaker 2: So is it fair to say then that all these
1:12:54
Speaker 2: issues fall on the governor and attorney general and the
1:12:57
Speaker 2: folks in charge here?
1:12:59
Speaker 27: Of course, the state Medicaid program is run by the state.
1:13:02
Speaker 27: This is a beautiful part about the health care system,
1:13:04
Speaker 27: if you can do it right. Medicare is run by
1:13:07
Speaker 27: my agency, CMS. The president appointed me to run Medicare
1:13:11
Speaker 27: for seniors, people over 65 mostly. We run that program,
1:13:15
Speaker 27: took out $ 42 billion of fraud this year, this past year.
1:13:19
Speaker 27: Medicaid for the poor is run by the states. The
1:13:22
Speaker 27: argument was, in 1965, when both these programs were created,
1:13:26
Speaker 27: The governors know their people better than anybody. They know
1:13:28
Speaker 27: where the weaknesses are. They know where the problems are.
1:13:30
Speaker 18: They know how to help their poor better than anybody else.
1:13:33
Speaker 18: Let's keep that local. And so what ended up happening
1:13:36
Speaker 18: is in Medicaid, because it wasn't good guardrails, we have
1:13:40
Speaker 18: many more problems. So although I took out $ 42 billion
1:13:42
Speaker 18: in fraud in Medicare, I only took out $ 4 billion
1:13:46
Speaker 18: of fraud in Medicaid. They're the same size programs. That
1:13:49
Speaker 18: means I'm getting one-tenth of the fraud out of Medicaid
1:13:52
Speaker 18: than I am in Medicare, even though they're both equal
1:13:54
Speaker 18: in size. So we're missing $ 38 billion of fraud, and
1:14:00
Speaker 18: that's on governors.
1:14:02
Speaker 2: Sounds like a pretty good campaigning piece for Bruce Blakeman
1:14:06
Speaker 2: for me. I'm just saying. I may as well just
1:14:08
Speaker 2: send him this clip, actually. You know, on the way out, Dr. Oz,
1:14:11
Speaker 2: I don't get FOMO often because I get invited to
1:14:14
Speaker 2: such cool stuff. You know, FOMO, of course, is... Fear
1:14:16
Speaker 2: of missing out. But last week, when you had your
1:14:19
Speaker 2: Maha day, and it was you, you know how much
1:14:21
Speaker 2: I love you, and RFK Jr. and Mike Tyson, how
1:14:26
Speaker 2: big of a day was that for you guys?
1:14:28
Speaker 18: It was massive.
1:14:29
Speaker 27: And again, it highlights that there are so many Americans
1:14:31
Speaker 27: who realize that the battle for health is not.
1:14:33
Speaker 18: Going to be one in an ER or an OR.
1:14:36
Speaker 18: It's going to be one in your kitchen, your living room,
1:14:38
Speaker 18: your bedroom.
1:14:38
Speaker 27: And Mike Tyson, who's my neighbor, actually, as well, a
1:14:40
Speaker 27: great guy, is so focused on making sure that he
1:14:44
Speaker 27: gets his head together, gets his body fit. We've worked
1:14:47
Speaker 27: out together. He's just a really solid human being. He's
1:14:50
Speaker 27: worked through a lot of issues. And he tells a
1:14:52
Speaker 27: beautiful story when he was a kid. This is why
1:14:54
Speaker 27: he's always out there trying to help. He was a kid,
1:14:57
Speaker 27: had a lot of problems in the criminal justice system,
1:14:59
Speaker 27: just obviously tough but not disciplined. He meets a guy
1:15:04
Speaker 27: who became his idol for life, came over, talked to him,
1:15:07
Speaker 27: gave him a little pep talk, and it made him
1:15:10
Speaker 27: become eventually the world champion. That guy's name was Muhammad Ali.
1:15:14
Speaker 11: Wow.
1:15:15
Speaker 27: And the fact that he had someone that he knew
1:15:18
Speaker 27: understood the world and had excelled in the world in
1:15:21
Speaker 27: a way that maybe he could give him something aspirational.
1:15:24
Speaker 27: And that's why he's out there helping us with the
1:15:27
Speaker 27: Maha movement. Bobby, as you know, Secretary Kennedy, who you
1:15:29
Speaker 27: know well, he's an avatar for the movement because fundamentally
1:15:34
Speaker 27: the Maha movement is about being curious. The way you are, Sid,
1:15:38
Speaker 27: the way the president is. If you're truly curious, remember
1:15:40
Speaker 27: 80% of statements or questions are in this, you know,
1:15:45
Speaker 27: the opposites. 80% of questions are statements in disguise.
1:15:47
Speaker 18: Right. You want to flip that, right?
1:15:49
Speaker 27: And get actually, and really ask important questions about what
1:15:51
Speaker 27: happened to our health in America. Why do we have
1:15:53
Speaker 27: so much chronic disease? Why are we having problems with fertility?
1:15:56
Speaker 27: All the things that Americans are concerned about. Ask real questions.
1:16:01
Speaker 27: If you're curious, you will. And here's the catch. You
1:16:03
Speaker 27: have to be courageous enough to act on what you learn.
1:16:06
Speaker 27: That's what Secretary Kennedy does. That's why people get upset,
1:16:09
Speaker 27: because he's brave enough to tell you what he has
1:16:11
Speaker 27: found and what you've got to do about it. And
1:16:13
Speaker 27: then you want to be compassionate, because if people know
1:16:15
Speaker 27: that you're standing because you care, not just because you're
1:16:17
Speaker 27: frustrated and angry, that's a wonderful trio. So be curious, courageous,
1:16:23
Speaker 27: and compassionate.
1:16:24
Speaker 2: Dr. Oz, I love you. I really do. You folks
1:16:26
Speaker 2: should read this, Phantom Obamacare Accounts. Sparked new crackdown as
1:16:32
Speaker 2: Oz targets broker fraud. CMS administrator, my friend, Dr. Oz, 760,000
1:16:37
Speaker 2: fraudulent accounts. Bye-bye. Saving us, taxpayers, $ 2. 2 billion. It's on
1:16:45
Speaker 2: Fox News. How to Brennan wrote it. Dr. Oz, you
1:16:49
Speaker 2: continue to do amazing work. I mean that sincerely. You
1:16:52
Speaker 2: are just a miracle guy. You're fantastic. And thank you
1:16:55
Speaker 2: so much for hopping on today and explaining all this
1:16:57
Speaker 2: to my listeners. You are the man, Dr.
1:16:59
Speaker 5: Oz.
1:16:59
Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
1:17:00
Speaker 11: God bless.
1:17:01
Speaker 2: Take care. God bless you. Dr. Mehmet Oz right there.
1:17:03
Speaker 2: He's doing an amazing job alongside RFK Jr. The Maha
1:17:08
Speaker 2: movement is working in a big way. I'm very, very
1:17:12
Speaker 2: proud of all those guys. Dr. Oz, right here on
1:17:15
Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the morning. We'll take a short break.
1:17:17
Speaker 2: When we get back, we'll talk to Hank Shankoff.
1:17:20
Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple
1:17:23
Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
1:17:26
Speaker 2: I mean, Mike Lawler, he can't get past an interview
1:17:28
Speaker 2: these days without saying the F word twice.
1:17:30
Speaker 5: Oh, forget it.
1:17:31
Speaker 25: He's in his own world.
1:17:32
Speaker 2: Now, I know I say some curse words on here,
1:17:35
Speaker 2: and that's part of the beauty of the show. It's
1:17:36
Speaker 2: because it's real. I'm not doing it to shock anybody.
1:17:39
Speaker 2: That's how I talk. I'm from Brooklyn. My mother talks
1:17:42
Speaker 2: that way. She's 91. But that's part of the beauty
1:17:44
Speaker 2: of the program. But people feel so comfortable with me.
1:17:47
Speaker 2: They forget they're on terrestrial radio. They did it wrong
1:17:50
Speaker 2: with Howard on Sirius XM. So that was interesting. He's
1:17:55
Speaker 2: a great interviewer, isn't he? Isn't Dr. Oz great?
1:17:57
Speaker 6: He's fantastic.
1:17:58
Speaker 2: So I asked Norm before I talked to Hank Sheinkopf here.
1:18:01
Speaker 2: So I'm planning on, I spoke to Bruce Blakeman a
1:18:04
Speaker 2: couple of times this weekend, going to Syracuse on Friday
1:18:08
Speaker 2: to campaign with Bruce Blakeman and President Trump. That's a
1:18:12
Speaker 2: nice threesome, you know. And Norm was like, you know,
1:18:14
Speaker 2: it's like seven hours away. Well, I'm not going to
1:18:16
Speaker 2: drive there. I don't think. I would imagine Bruce is
1:18:20
Speaker 2: not going to drive there. Bruce, when he goes to
1:18:23
Speaker 2: Buffalo or Syracuse, any one of those places, he hops
1:18:26
Speaker 2: in a helicopter, I guess. A plane, I don't know.
1:18:29
Speaker 2: Maybe a plane. But no one's driving to Syracuse.
1:18:32
Speaker 1: Well, you could go to the Port Authority and the
1:18:34
Speaker 1: bus is about $ 35. It's like a five-hour ride.
1:18:37
Speaker 5: Five hours?
1:18:38
Speaker 20: Yeah.
1:18:39
Speaker 2: Can't do that. First of all, I have no idea
1:18:40
Speaker 2: what time it starts. I'm doing the show here on Friday.
1:18:43
Speaker 2: I keep asking Bruce. He doesn't know yet. The White
1:18:46
Speaker 2: House hasn't told him yet. But the plan is, Blakeman, Trump,
1:18:50
Speaker 2: and me on Friday, we'll see how all that works
1:18:52
Speaker 2: out in terms of time and travel and all those
1:18:54
Speaker 2: interesting questions.
1:18:55
Speaker 24: I'm looking in Amtrak. It's a five and a half
1:18:58
Speaker 24: hour ride. Yeah, that ain't going to happen.
1:19:00
Speaker 1: $ 240 for a ticket.
1:19:00
Speaker 2: The money doesn't matter. I'm going to have Kathy Hochul
1:19:03
Speaker 2: pay for it.
1:19:04
Speaker 1: If you fly.
1:19:04
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:19:06
Speaker 1: You could go from LaGuardia.
1:19:07
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:19:07
Speaker 24: It's about $ 665 for a last-minute ticket.
1:19:10
Speaker 2: No way.
1:19:11
Speaker 29: Yeah.
1:19:11
Speaker 2: It's that much money?
1:19:12
Speaker 1: Well, because you're waiting.
1:19:13
Speaker 2: I don't care. It's a terrible price. The flight's on Friday.
1:19:16
Speaker 2: Listen to me carefully, okay? Unless you go into a
1:19:18
Speaker 2: basketball game at the Carrier Dome, there is no reason
1:19:21
Speaker 2: to go to that godforsaken city. The college is great.
1:19:24
Speaker 2: In fact, my son Gabriel is even applying to that school.
1:19:28
Speaker 2: He's applying to nine Florida schools and Syracuse because they've
1:19:32
Speaker 2: got the best media Center in all of college. What
1:19:37
Speaker 2: is it called? Newhouse? Newhouse, right? They all went there.
1:19:42
Speaker 2: Mike Tirico, Bob Costas, Ian Eagle, Marv Albert. They all
1:19:47
Speaker 2: went there. Craig Carton. A lot went to Fordham, too. Fordham, too, yes. Yes,
1:19:51
Speaker 2: Fordham's right behind them, I would say.
1:19:53
Speaker 13: Well, here in the Bronx, but the campus is beautiful.
1:19:56
Speaker 2: You're in the Bronx. You just said it. I know.
1:19:58
Speaker 2: But Syracuse is awful, too.
1:20:00
Speaker 13: But you got Arthur Avenue there.
1:20:01
Speaker 2: Right. You don't got that in Syracuse.
1:20:03
Speaker 13: No, Syracuse is very shady.
1:20:06
Speaker 2: I'm sure Hank Shankop has been to Syracuse. Let's ask
1:20:09
Speaker 2: him the brilliant mind that is Hank. I love having
1:20:10
Speaker 2: this guy on. Hank, you've been to Syracuse?
1:20:13
Speaker 18: Of course, Sid.
1:20:15
Speaker 20: Many, many years ago.
1:20:16
Speaker 2: And what do you think of that town?
1:20:20
Speaker 18: Nice people.
1:20:21
Speaker 20: Town needs help.
1:20:24
Speaker 2: You know what's funny about that? The town does need help.
1:20:27
Speaker 2: And I don't care, Hank Schoenkorff, if it's Syracuse or
1:20:30
Speaker 2: Rochester or Utica. or right outside where my mom lives
1:20:34
Speaker 2: in upstate New York, Monticello. All these towns are widowed
1:20:37
Speaker 2: with people that are drug addled, completely poor, no jobs
1:20:42
Speaker 2: and no hope. And Andrew Cuomo and Kathy Hochul, the
1:20:45
Speaker 2: last two governors, promised they would spend their time fixing
1:20:49
Speaker 2: all those upstate New York towns, and they've done none
1:20:53
Speaker 2: of that. In fact, they've gone the other way by
1:20:56
Speaker 2: ruining business. Is that fair to say?
1:20:59
Speaker 18: It's fair to say that everybody keeps talking about repairing
1:21:04
Speaker 18: Central New York and the Southern Tier and portions of
1:21:07
Speaker 18: Western New York. And the end result is that nothing
1:21:09
Speaker 18: gets repaired and nothing gets changed. Um, you know, it's
1:21:13
Speaker 18: really quite bizarre and it goes on and on and on.
1:21:15
Speaker 18: The people in those places can't go anywhere. The industrial
1:21:19
Speaker 18: jobs are gone. There was a clean out during the
1:21:21
Speaker 18: early Cuomo years, right? The first Cuomo years. Um, and
1:21:25
Speaker 18: you know, it's, it's a disaster and it's not fair.
1:21:28
Speaker 18: These are decent people who want to work and they've
1:21:30
Speaker 18: been nothing. They've got no jobs. They've got no decent lives.
1:21:33
Speaker 18: So what do people expect is going to happen? You
1:21:35
Speaker 18: have people in the Southern tier working three jobs to survive.
1:21:37
Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. It's not fair. No, it is. And some of
1:21:40
Speaker 2: these towns like Syracuse have got the great university. I'll
1:21:43
Speaker 2: tell you another one. Great school. One of the best
1:21:46
Speaker 2: state schools in the country. Binghamton. You leave the university,
1:21:50
Speaker 2: it's poverty all over the place.
1:21:53
Speaker 18: Southern tier. It's a real problem. And the obsession with
1:21:58
Speaker 18: talking about it doesn't accomplish anything. What's the economic plan
1:22:02
Speaker 18: for the rest of the state of New York? There
1:22:04
Speaker 18: is none. It just kind of dribbles along. And when
1:22:06
Speaker 18: people run for governor or for others, they talk about
1:22:09
Speaker 18: all the wonderful things they're going to do, but they don't.
1:22:13
Speaker 18: It's remained the same for a long, long time, and
1:22:15
Speaker 18: there's no indication it'll get any better.
1:22:17
Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you this. When you say there's
1:22:19
Speaker 2: no indication it'll get any better, give me an honest answer,
1:22:21
Speaker 2: which you always do. That's why I love Habanon. Bruce Blakeman,
1:22:24
Speaker 2: what do you think of his campaign so far?
1:22:27
Speaker 18: Bruce Blakeman is a very decent guy with a good
1:22:30
Speaker 18: record who was absolutely committed to making the state better. Period.
1:22:34
Speaker 18: And you can't say anything bad about him. He's a
1:22:36
Speaker 18: good man.
1:22:37
Speaker 2: So, in your estimation, and you're a very smart guy,
1:22:40
Speaker 2: you've been around this game a long time, because I
1:22:43
Speaker 2: think you would be, do you think he'd be an
1:22:45
Speaker 2: exponentially better governor than Kathy Hochul?
1:22:49
Speaker 18: The problem he will face is the Hochul problem, which
1:22:52
Speaker 18: is the state's finances, the city's finances, It's going to
1:22:56
Speaker 18: be quite, after going into next year, it's going to
1:22:59
Speaker 18: be quite, quite, quite difficult. We're going to face some
1:23:02
Speaker 18: severe fiscal issues that the present mayor of New York
1:23:06
Speaker 18: City is really not interested in fixing. What he seems
1:23:09
Speaker 18: to be interested in doing is preparing to demand more
1:23:11
Speaker 18: money from the governor to keep the city running because
1:23:15
Speaker 18: he can't do it with the kind of budgets he's
1:23:18
Speaker 18: talking about, the kind of programming he's talking about, while
1:23:21
Speaker 18: having the kind of revenue he won't be talking about.
1:23:24
Speaker 18: Blakeman's going to have to stand up to him if
1:23:25
Speaker 18: he's the governor. And that's going to be a big deal.
1:23:29
Speaker 18: Very big deal. We can face something akin to 1975
1:23:33
Speaker 18: going into the next year, year and a half, if
1:23:35
Speaker 18: this continues.
1:23:36
Speaker 2: Well, Blakeman's a tough guy. He's the box, you know.
1:23:38
Speaker 2: He's not afraid of Mamdani, and he will stand up
1:23:40
Speaker 2: to him, but This creep, you're right, this creep took
1:23:42
Speaker 2: a victory lap after his budget when the truth is
1:23:45
Speaker 2: Kathy Hochul bailed him out. And she bailed him out.
1:23:48
Speaker 2: Let's not forget, it took a very, very, very long
1:23:52
Speaker 2: time for Mamdani to even endorse Hochul. She did it
1:23:55
Speaker 2: right away. She couldn't wait. It took him forever. He
1:23:59
Speaker 2: didn't show her any loyalty. Now he does. Now he
1:24:02
Speaker 2: does because she bailed him out. But the truth is,
1:24:05
Speaker 2: why would he do a victory lap on his budget
1:24:08
Speaker 2: when the state had to bail him out?
1:24:10
Speaker 18: Eight billion bucks. It's a lot of cabbage, as we
1:24:13
Speaker 18: used to say. Look, I've been involved with municipal unions
1:24:18
Speaker 18: for an awfully long time, looked at budgets for an
1:24:21
Speaker 18: awfully long time, and been involved in crisis management, which
1:24:24
Speaker 18: is the bulk of my business, for an awfully long time.
1:24:27
Speaker 18: The reality here is what people don't want to face.
1:24:30
Speaker 18: This guy is the dreamer. Someone has to be a
1:24:33
Speaker 18: realist and say to the dreamer, by the way, we're
1:24:36
Speaker 18: not going to fund your revolution. You have to figure
1:24:38
Speaker 18: out how you're going to make it affordable. And he
1:24:41
Speaker 18: can't do that. And the battle is going to be
1:24:43
Speaker 18: proving that he's wrong to the people that support him most.
1:24:46
Speaker 18: When they find out what this is really going to
1:24:48
Speaker 18: cost and who's not going to pay for it, they're
1:24:50
Speaker 18: going to revolt. It's going to be quite something to watch.
1:24:53
Speaker 18: Quite something to watch.
1:24:54
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're going to revolt, though. That's
1:24:56
Speaker 2: the problem. And maybe I've just lost all confidence in
1:24:59
Speaker 2: the Democrat New Yorker or the DSA New Yorker or
1:25:03
Speaker 2: the anti-Republican New Yorker. I don't know. I mean, I
1:25:06
Speaker 2: keep getting told by people, hey, Sid, while you spend
1:25:09
Speaker 2: your days and nights hating on the mayor, which I do,
1:25:12
Speaker 2: every day I hate on the mayor. I really do
1:25:15
Speaker 2: hate him. While you spend your days and nights doing that,
1:25:18
Speaker 2: his popularity is growing. Is that true?
1:25:21
Speaker 18: Sid, you and I are in agreement. I'm not saying
1:25:23
Speaker 18: that they're going to revolt against the mayor. They're going
1:25:25
Speaker 18: to revolt against the system. They're very unhappy they can't
1:25:28
Speaker 18: get what he's promising. There's nothing to indicate right now
1:25:31
Speaker 18: that people would be terribly opposed to the mayor. He's
1:25:34
Speaker 18: an extraordinarily talented politician. He is great to the camera.
1:25:39
Speaker 18: He is good. His mouth works like a charm. And
1:25:42
Speaker 18: thus far, he can blame everybody else for everything. And
1:25:45
Speaker 18: that kind of behavior is going to continue. That's what
1:25:48
Speaker 18: he's good at. He's a demagogue in non-demagogue clothing. And
1:25:52
Speaker 18: he's really good at it. And he knows how to
1:25:55
Speaker 18: find good enemies. The city's demographics are changing. Its economics
1:25:59
Speaker 18: are changing. That generally is the precursor to having these
1:26:02
Speaker 18: kinds of elections where the outcomes are unusual and unexpected.
1:26:06
Speaker 18: So what the city will face is something that he's
1:26:08
Speaker 18: never understood and has no desire to understand. What you
1:26:11
Speaker 18: need is an adult at all. But he was prepared
1:26:13
Speaker 18: to tell him no and to understand that if the
1:26:17
Speaker 18: city goes through what it looks like it's going to
1:26:19
Speaker 18: go through, The recovery time won't be as easy as
1:26:22
Speaker 18: it was, frankly, in 75, which was not easy at all.
1:26:26
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a tough job for Blake.
1:26:28
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:26:28
Speaker 2: What do you think is really behind this talking about
1:26:32
Speaker 2: his relationships and people tend to like him, President Trump?
1:26:35
Speaker 2: You know, I've had people tell me that are very
1:26:37
Speaker 2: close to the president related. He doesn't really like him,
1:26:40
Speaker 2: but he wants he wants New York to survive. Others
1:26:43
Speaker 2: have said, yeah, he kind of likes him. Now, you
1:26:46
Speaker 2: know this. I love the president. I've got a great
1:26:48
Speaker 2: relationship with the president. We're legitimately friends. But every time
1:26:52
Speaker 2: he says something nice, I'm Donnie, or comes to Gracie Mansion,
1:26:56
Speaker 2: I go nuts. And I do think the president is
1:26:58
Speaker 2: aware of it, probably doesn't like it, but I can't
1:27:01
Speaker 2: help myself. I'm sorry. What do you think is the
1:27:03
Speaker 2: true nature of that relationship?
1:27:07
Speaker 18: Puts your enemies to sleep. It's always a better way
1:27:09
Speaker 18: to deal with them. And the reality is somewhat difficult
1:27:13
Speaker 18: for a lot of people to understand. Should New York
1:27:17
Speaker 18: go belly up, which is not out of the realm
1:27:19
Speaker 18: of possibility. New York City go belly up, not in
1:27:21
Speaker 18: the realm of possibility at all. The mayor's going to
1:27:24
Speaker 18: have to go to the president, to go to the
1:27:26
Speaker 18: Federal Reserve, to get a bailout loan probably, right?
1:27:30
Speaker 29: Yeah.
1:27:30
Speaker 18: Guess what? This president does not want to be the
1:27:34
Speaker 18: guy to tell.
1:27:34
Speaker 11: New York City.
1:27:35
Speaker 2: So you're telling me that, and I get all that, okay?
1:27:38
Speaker 2: But can he do all that? and still be civil
1:27:42
Speaker 2: without really going over the top, compliments, great guy, potential
1:27:48
Speaker 2: to be a great mayor. You think that Trump, to
1:27:50
Speaker 2: get what you're talking about, needs to lather him up
1:27:53
Speaker 2: that much?
1:27:54
Speaker 18: Now, I think Trump is smarter than that. What I
1:27:56
Speaker 18: think he's doing is not lathering him up so much
1:27:59
Speaker 18: as trying to make his enemies see him as a
1:28:03
Speaker 18: more multidimensional. See, Trump is a more multidimensional character.
1:28:06
Speaker 2: So you've used the word you've used the word enemy
1:28:09
Speaker 2: now twice, Hank, and you're a very smart guy. So
1:28:11
Speaker 2: you think Trump, despite this public deal, views the mayor
1:28:15
Speaker 2: as an enemy?
1:28:17
Speaker 18: I think Trump knows who Mondani really is.
1:28:21
Speaker 2: I love that answer.
1:28:22
Speaker 18: And he knows who he really is. And he's very cagey.
1:28:25
Speaker 18: That president is very, very smart about protecting his Turk
1:28:29
Speaker 18: and about ensuring that he can do what he wants.
1:28:31
Speaker 18: He knows what's coming down. He knows he doesn't want
1:28:34
Speaker 18: to have Mamdani campaigning against Republicans and others any more
1:28:38
Speaker 18: than is necessary. although it probably would help the Republicans
1:28:41
Speaker 18: get elected, quite frankly, outside New York City. And there
1:28:45
Speaker 18: is a wall that's been constructed effectively at the Nassau
1:28:48
Speaker 18: County line and half of Westchester line. against Mondani. People
1:28:53
Speaker 18: know who he is. So does the president of the
1:28:54
Speaker 18: United States. So to create an additional war, what do
1:28:57
Speaker 18: you need more conflict? The president is smart enough to
1:28:59
Speaker 18: constrain conflict where it's needed and not to create conflict
1:29:03
Speaker 18: where it's not needed. And right now, that battle with
1:29:05
Speaker 18: Mondani does not help them.
1:29:07
Speaker 2: No, it doesn't. But I would ask you this, okay?
1:29:09
Speaker 2: He's got three-plus years to go. It feels like Mamdani's
1:29:12
Speaker 2: been mayor for 100 years. It's only been about nine months.
1:29:14
Speaker 2: It's already a disaster. You talk about Republicans winning outside
1:29:18
Speaker 2: of New York City. And the onus is on Eddie.
1:29:20
Speaker 2: I love Ed Cox. Nice guy. And the Republican Party
1:29:23
Speaker 2: in New York to put out better candidates. I mean,
1:29:25
Speaker 2: this Curtis Slewa was a joke. He was out there
1:29:28
Speaker 2: the whole time just trying to make sure Cuomo didn't win.
1:29:31
Speaker 2: The whole city was scared to death of Mamdani. All
1:29:33
Speaker 2: Curtis cared about was make sure Cuomo doesn't win. And
1:29:36
Speaker 2: I'm not sure what benefits he reaped from that. The
1:29:39
Speaker 2: guy's doing videos of the inner circle. They're getting a
1:29:42
Speaker 2: flu shot together and yucking it up this weekend. It
1:29:45
Speaker 2: really is grotesque for people like me that put my
1:29:48
Speaker 2: trust and put Curtis on every day for six years
1:29:51
Speaker 2: because I thought he really wanted a win. As it
1:29:53
Speaker 2: turns out, he never wanted a win. He just wanted
1:29:55
Speaker 2: to make sure Cuomo didn't win. So moving forward... He
1:29:58
Speaker 2: never had a shot.
1:29:59
Speaker 5: Of course not.
1:30:00
Speaker 2: Come on, 7%. So moving forward, you know, my name
1:30:03
Speaker 2: has been bandied about. You know, they talk about Tisch
1:30:06
Speaker 2: as an independent. Let's stick with Republicans, okay? How do
1:30:10
Speaker 2: we make sure Republicans get better candidates in the city?
1:30:13
Speaker 18: You've got to create a Republican party in New York City.
1:30:17
Speaker 18: That's the first step. They're doing it in Brooklyn to
1:30:20
Speaker 18: some extent. You've got to have... You've got to have
1:30:22
Speaker 18: Republicans much more vocal, much more visible. There are some
1:30:25
Speaker 18: candidates running this year who are better Republican candidates than
1:30:28
Speaker 18: we've had in some time. And you have to look
1:30:30
Speaker 18: at the historical trend. There's something wrong with the historical trend.
1:30:33
Speaker 18: What do I mean by that? If you look at
1:30:35
Speaker 18: Manhattan alone, at one point you had a Republican congressman,
1:30:38
Speaker 18: a Republican councilman, a Republican state senator, a Republican assemblyman.
1:30:42
Speaker 18: That's in the modern era, in just the Upper East Side.
1:30:46
Speaker 18: What happened? republicanism fell apart it moved too far to
1:30:50
Speaker 18: the right and now there's an opportunity to come back
1:30:52
Speaker 18: to the center and have centrist republicans who were upset
1:30:55
Speaker 18: with mondani and were afraid about jews being beaten in
1:30:58
Speaker 18: the streets which is where a step away from that
1:31:00
Speaker 18: saying much more of right we're going to promote against
1:31:04
Speaker 18: this and say we need republic we need a republican
1:31:06
Speaker 18: party that is multi-dimensional multi-functional and someone's going to fund
1:31:10
Speaker 18: doing real campaigns that are smart and that are potentially winnable.
1:31:16
Speaker 18: That's not what's happening right now. We have terrific people
1:31:19
Speaker 18: who are out there who want to win campaigns who
1:31:22
Speaker 18: are running as Republicans. There are, in many cases, women
1:31:25
Speaker 18: in New York City. We ought to be able to
1:31:27
Speaker 18: support them. Why? Whether you want to be a Republican
1:31:29
Speaker 18: or not, democracy demands multiple viewpoints and democracy demands a
1:31:34
Speaker 18: two-party system that functions well. And part of our problem
1:31:37
Speaker 18: nationally is that we don't have that. And anybody who
1:31:40
Speaker 18: thinks otherwise is fooling themselves.
1:31:42
Speaker 2: Now, you're right. I mean, we've got this. I hosted
1:31:44
Speaker 2: an event for her last week because I happen to
1:31:46
Speaker 2: like her. And I think she can win. And she's brilliant.
1:31:48
Speaker 2: Caroline Schenkel running on the Upper East Side and Upper
1:31:51
Speaker 2: West Side, running for that old Jerry Nath receipt. There's
1:31:54
Speaker 2: a woman right there running as a Republican, but common sense.
1:31:57
Speaker 2: So should the next mayor candidate be a non-politician like Trump,
1:32:02
Speaker 2: like a Sid Rosenberg or a Michael Rappaport or or?
1:32:06
Speaker 2: a wealthy businessman, somebody like Bill Ackman, who do you think, well,
1:32:10
Speaker 2: what should that profile look like for the next potential
1:32:13
Speaker 2: Republican candidate?
1:32:15
Speaker 18: Let's go back in history again, Sid. And the questions
1:32:18
Speaker 18: you raised are very important ones. So let me see
1:32:20
Speaker 18: if I can distill it in this way. If you
1:32:23
Speaker 18: look at the history of New York City, going back
1:32:24
Speaker 18: to LaGuardia, Republicans have been elected citywide when there's a crisis. LaGuardia,
1:32:29
Speaker 18: the crisis was corruption. Lindsay, the crisis was the breakdown
1:32:33
Speaker 18: of city services. Giuliani, the crisis was crime, although we
1:32:36
Speaker 18: can discuss that in a different way one day. And
1:32:39
Speaker 18: for Blueberry, the crisis was 9-11. Those are the four
1:32:42
Speaker 18: Republican mayors elected since LaGuardia, right? We need a crisis
1:32:46
Speaker 18: that is discernible with candidates that are winnable. And thus far,
1:32:51
Speaker 18: the Republicans have not been able to do that since
1:32:53
Speaker 18: Mike Bloomberg.
1:32:54
Speaker 20: And Mike Bloomberg ran.
1:32:55
Speaker 18: As Republican because that was the best way for him
1:32:57
Speaker 18: to get elected, and as an independent. And absent 9-11,
1:33:01
Speaker 18: it's a question whether he would have been elected, but
1:33:04
Speaker 18: 9-11 elected him. There you have the story. We don't
1:33:06
Speaker 18: want another 9-11, but someone has to begin working today
1:33:10
Speaker 18: to prove that there's a crisis that has to be
1:33:12
Speaker 18: resolved going forward. Absent that, it's going to be hard
1:33:15
Speaker 18: to elect a Republican.
1:33:16
Speaker 5: Last one.
1:33:17
Speaker 2: What a great conversation. My producer just said, man, this
1:33:19
Speaker 2: guy's really smart. He really is. Hank, I guess we've
1:33:24
Speaker 2: been talking about the mayor. So let me just ask
1:33:26
Speaker 2: you this. I got a lot of people who yell
1:33:28
Speaker 2: awful things at me, call me the worst names you
1:33:30
Speaker 2: could ever imagine. And they go, you're just jealous because
1:33:33
Speaker 2: he's doing a good job. And my next question is, really?
1:33:37
Speaker 2: Then give me the four or five things he's done
1:33:39
Speaker 2: that have really helped this city in his first nine
1:33:41
Speaker 2: months in office. Some talk about this child care thing. Fantastic.
1:33:45
Speaker 18: Great.
1:33:46
Speaker 2: Others talk about freezing the rent, which, by the way,
1:33:48
Speaker 2: is screwing the landlords. And Randy Mastro is involved in
1:33:50
Speaker 2: a lawsuit there, too. You tell me, Hank, what are
1:33:53
Speaker 2: all these great things outside of smiling and doing interviews
1:33:57
Speaker 2: and wooing people like Melissa Russo should be ashamed of herself?
1:34:00
Speaker 2: What has the mayor done that is so great?
1:34:03
Speaker 18: Nothing.
1:34:05
Speaker 2: Thank you.
1:34:05
Speaker 18: Next.
1:34:06
Speaker 29: Next.
1:34:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. That's all I wanted. God, I love you.
1:34:10
Speaker 18: It is the charismatic nature of nothingness. that is propelling
1:34:15
Speaker 18: Mazur on Mondami. And that culturally, that is an extraordinary
1:34:20
Speaker 18: charismatic position to be in. The charisma of nothingness. And
1:34:25
Speaker 18: the New Yorkers love it because they are tired of somethingness.
1:34:28
Speaker 18: And here they have nothingness and it makes them feel
1:34:30
Speaker 18: so good about themselves because the words have no bearing
1:34:33
Speaker 18: to reality, but the words are what they're listening to.
1:34:36
Speaker 18: And it's quite extraordinary. And it wakes up with quite
1:34:39
Speaker 18: the hangover.
1:34:39
Speaker 2: I know, I know. So are New Yorkers stupid?
1:34:46
Speaker 18: Well, the city has changed. When you have these kind
1:34:49
Speaker 18: of electoral events where the unusual occurs, like I just said,
1:34:52
Speaker 18: you have a crisis. We had a crisis, and the
1:34:56
Speaker 18: crisis was, unfortunately, the Adams administration. The other crisis was
1:35:00
Speaker 18: the failure of the political system to come up with
1:35:02
Speaker 18: candidates that were at all capable of winning in ways
1:35:08
Speaker 18: that make sense. I mean, the field of candidates was
1:35:11
Speaker 18: not good. And Mondani was just a better candidate. I
1:35:14
Speaker 18: commented to people at the time. They said, you don't
1:35:16
Speaker 18: know what you're talking about, you're an old man. I said, no,
1:35:18
Speaker 18: I'm smarter about this than most people are. And I said,
1:35:20
Speaker 18: you've got to run a campaign where everything old is
1:35:25
Speaker 18: new again. What do I mean by that? It's in
1:35:26
Speaker 18: the streets and it's on the web. The rest of
1:35:29
Speaker 18: it's nonsense. They said to me, no, you don't understand.
1:35:32
Speaker 18: Most of the people who said I didn't understand were
1:35:34
Speaker 18: trying to make enough money to buy two houses in
1:35:36
Speaker 18: the Hamptons on campaigns. But the reality is that's how
1:35:39
Speaker 18: it is, and you've got to get into the street
1:35:41
Speaker 18: to make it work. That means you have to work
1:35:43
Speaker 18: for a living. And consultants are not ready to do
1:35:46
Speaker 18: that anymore because they have this deluded idea that somehow
1:35:49
Speaker 18: God gave them the ability to grift their way through life.
1:35:53
Speaker 18: And until you get people who really want to fight
1:35:55
Speaker 18: this guy, he's going to win. He's going to win.
1:35:59
Speaker 5: He's going to win.
1:36:00
Speaker 2: Hank, you're amazing. I've got to tell you, another amazing segment.
1:36:03
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for doing this on this Monday morning.
1:36:05
Speaker 2: We really love having you, buddy. Thank you so much.

1:36:09
Speaker 2: All the best to you. Hank Sheinkopf right there. What
1:36:11
Speaker 2: a great guest. And my contention is he knows more
1:36:15
Speaker 2: about this city and the history of this city than anyone.
1:36:18
Speaker 2: Hank Sheinkopf. We'll take a break. Still to come, John Katzmatidis.
1:36:23

1:37:15
Speaker 32: Now, Bernie's still going to be on our program, of course.
1:37:18
Speaker 32: He's been the executive producer of the Iverson Williams program forever.
1:37:22
Speaker 32: And Sid, of course, we work with Sid. Sid used
1:37:25
Speaker 32: to do sports.
1:37:26
Speaker 2: You want to finish that thought, I-Man?
1:37:28
Speaker 5: There you go, the I-Man.
1:37:30
Speaker 2: Well, it doesn't get... Pump it up, Bernie and Sid.
1:37:32
Speaker 2: How about that for a ringing endorsement? Don Imus loves
1:37:35
Speaker 2: the show already.
1:37:36
Speaker 6: It doesn't get any better. That is huge, man. That
1:37:39
Speaker 6: is huge. Do you feel the pressure?
1:37:42
Speaker 2: Not really, no.
1:37:44
Speaker 6: I got to say, though, Bernie and Sid, we sound
1:37:46
Speaker 6: like a gay Jewish couple.
1:37:47
Speaker 2: We do a little bit. One of those, like, Muppet things. Two, like,
1:37:51
Speaker 2: old Muppet guys in the movie theater on the very,
1:37:53
Speaker 2: very top. That's kind of us, too.
1:37:55
Speaker 6: We are kind of married at this point. We are.
1:37:57
Speaker 2: We are.
1:37:58
Speaker 6: But it's a good thing.
1:38:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, you look good.
1:38:02
Speaker 6: No conjugal relationship here, though.
1:38:04
Speaker 2: Not yet.
1:38:05
Speaker 6: Let me reassure the audience of that.
1:38:07
Speaker 18: Right.
1:38:08
Speaker 6: But not that that would be a bad thing.
1:38:10
Speaker 18: No, no.
1:38:10
Speaker 6: It's a beautiful thing.
1:38:11
Speaker 2: And you would get the much better of the deal
1:38:13
Speaker 2: at this point. 2022, four years ago today, we lost Bernard.
1:38:17
Speaker 2: But somewhere he's smiling because his daughter, I'll be there,
1:38:19
Speaker 2: is getting married this Saturday. His beautiful daughter, Melanie, getting
1:38:23
Speaker 2: married this Saturday. I spoke to his wife, Carol McGurk,
1:38:26
Speaker 2: at about 5.45 this morning, and she's very excited about
1:38:29
Speaker 2: the wedding, and also Bernard has, since he passed away,
1:38:33
Speaker 2: two grandsons, two, that his son and his daughter-in-law have had.
1:38:37
Speaker 2: So he's missed a lot, but hopefully he's watching from
1:38:40
Speaker 2: somewhere in heaven and seeing all these great things happening
1:38:43
Speaker 2: to the McGurk family. We'll take a short break. When
1:38:46
Speaker 2: we get back, I love this guy. Had a big
1:38:48
Speaker 2: night on Friday night, him and His beautiful wife, Margo. Big,
1:38:51
Speaker 2: big party. It was great. And a lot going on
1:38:54
Speaker 2: in the city. Nobody better to talk to than Mr.
1:38:57
Speaker 2: Red Apple Media himself, our dear friend John Katsimatidis, makes
1:39:00
Speaker 2: his Monday morning appearance.
1:39:02
Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
1:39:06
Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
1:39:08
Speaker 2: John and Margo's anniversary. They honored Margo, and I'm not
1:39:11
Speaker 2: saying this to patronize the boss, but Margo was so funny.
1:39:15
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you. And she was into it, man.
1:39:17
Speaker 2: And she was confident and She literally played the crowd
1:39:23
Speaker 2: like a comedian. She was great. And the whole night
1:39:26
Speaker 2: was great. It was doubly great for me because I
1:39:29
Speaker 2: had a great table with Dominic and his wife and
1:39:31
Speaker 2: Jake and Suzanne. I had a chance to see John
1:39:33
Speaker 2: Margo and the kids. But the big one for me, John,
1:39:37
Speaker 2: that was really cool, Bernadette Castro. Her and me on Imus,
1:39:42
Speaker 2: we went at each other every week for years. Really?
1:39:46
Speaker 2: I haven't talked to her in 20 years.
1:39:48
Speaker 5: She is a wonderful lady.
1:39:49
Speaker 2: Great lady.
1:39:50
Speaker 5: I still think of Bernadette as pulling out that Castro convertible.
1:39:55
Speaker 2: Yes, that. And then she became the, she ran the
1:39:57
Speaker 2: parks department.
1:39:58
Speaker 5: 12 years she ran the parks department. Let me tell
1:40:01
Speaker 5: you something. George Pataki, Governor Pataki, was a great governor
1:40:05
Speaker 5: for 12 years.
1:40:06
Speaker 2: Great seeing you too and his wife.
1:40:08
Speaker 5: He was there with.
1:40:11
Speaker 5: Uh, uh, his wife, uh, Libby, uh, Libby, uh, last year, this,
1:40:17
Speaker 5: how are we getting to this? You know, cause we
1:40:19
Speaker 5: had the big gala with 700 people a couple of
1:40:22
Speaker 5: weeks ago.
1:40:23
Speaker 17: Right.
1:40:23
Speaker 5: And we finished the gala. We already tapped into 700
1:40:28
Speaker 5: of our friends or whatever. And, and all of a
1:40:31
Speaker 5: sudden we say, Oh crap, we got another dinner to do.
1:40:36
Speaker 2: That's true.
1:40:36
Speaker 5: By the way, this dinner at the Pierre on, on
1:40:40
Speaker 5: Friday night. Thank you for being here.
1:40:43
Speaker 2: Oh, we loved it. With Danielle.
1:40:44
Speaker 5: Thank you. And it was a last-minute thing. We started
1:40:49
Speaker 5: inviting people last Sunday or something. Oh, really? Yeah, I mean,
1:40:53
Speaker 5: it was just like you blink your eyes and say.
1:40:55
Speaker 2: Oh, crap. Here we go again.
1:40:56
Speaker 5: We got another dinner. And originally, it's Libby Pataki's church
1:41:05
Speaker 5: in Libby Pataki's has always supported the Franciscans. The Franciscans,
1:41:11
Speaker 5: they help the poor, they help the needy, they help
1:41:16
Speaker 5: the people that are down on their luck and help
1:41:21
Speaker 5: pick them up. It's a very worthy, worthy cause.
1:41:24
Speaker 2: Oh, the beautiful people. I had a chance to talk
1:41:26
Speaker 2: to one of the big guys. It was great.
1:41:27
Speaker 5: I said, oh crap, we got to fill the room.
1:41:31
Speaker 5: So you know what we did?
1:41:32
Speaker 11: Oh, what?
1:41:33
Speaker 5: October 2nd, there was a dinner. October 2nd was also
1:41:36
Speaker 5: my anniversary.
1:41:37
Speaker 18: Right.
1:41:38
Speaker 5: So I invited all our friends. And guess what?
1:41:42
Speaker 2: You filled the room. We filled the room. Yeah, there
1:41:43
Speaker 2: wasn't one empty seat.
1:41:45
Speaker 5: Not one empty seat. And Margo did a great job.
1:41:49
Speaker 2: Really great.
1:41:50
Speaker 5: And you know what I did? You notice what I did?
1:41:52
Speaker 5: I was three feet away. I was there to help
1:41:56
Speaker 5: if she needed help. Yeah. But I wanted her to shine.
1:41:59
Speaker 5: And you know what she did? She followed what I do.
1:42:02
Speaker 5: I never read. I never read a speech.
1:42:06
Speaker 2: Never.
1:42:06
Speaker 5: And she just got up there and just ad-libbed.
1:42:10
Speaker 18: Yeah.
1:42:10
Speaker 5: Ad-libbed what she felt.
1:42:12
Speaker 2: She had a speech in front of her, but she's like,
1:42:14
Speaker 2: I'm not going to do this. By the way, I
1:42:17
Speaker 2: do that.
1:42:17
Speaker 5: That's the best way to do it.
1:42:18
Speaker 2: I do that. Trump does that. Yeah. No teleprompters.
1:42:21
Speaker 5: He makes it up as it goes.
1:42:22
Speaker 11: Right.
1:42:23
Speaker 18: Yeah.
1:42:23
Speaker 5: I mean, I do that too. And I hate when
1:42:27
Speaker 5: people read speeches.
1:42:29
Speaker 22: Terrible.
1:42:30
Speaker 5: I fall asleep.
1:42:31
Speaker 2: Terrible.
1:42:32
Speaker 5: Yeah, we fall asleep.
1:42:32
Speaker 2: She was, I'm telling you, she was really great. And
1:42:35
Speaker 2: you were very cute standing there giving her the attention.
1:42:37
Speaker 2: 38 years.
1:42:38
Speaker 5: I couldn't believe it. It was like, you blink your
1:42:40
Speaker 5: eyes and 38 years goes by.
1:42:42
Speaker 2: Is that what you want, 38? That was her anniversary.
1:42:46
Speaker 2: By the way, we're not far behind you. We're going
1:42:48
Speaker 2: to be 35 in June.
1:42:50
Speaker 5: Wow.
1:42:51
Speaker 2: 35 in June.
1:42:51
Speaker 11: Wow.
1:42:51
Speaker 2: We're right behind you.
1:42:53
Speaker 5: So, you know, you and Danielle look great, by the way.
1:42:56
Speaker 2: Thank you.
1:42:57
Speaker 5: On Friday night.
1:42:58
Speaker 2: We loved it. We had a great time.
1:43:00
Speaker 5: But, you know, you were at the game last week
1:43:03
Speaker 5: with the Yankees.
1:43:03
Speaker 2: You were there the next night.
1:43:04
Speaker 5: We were there the next night. I know. And I'm
1:43:09
Speaker 5: supposed to be in West Virginia on Wednesday. But guess what?
1:43:16
Speaker 5: The heck with West Virginia.
1:43:17
Speaker 2: Yankees.
1:43:18
Speaker 5: I'm going to Yankee game.
1:43:19
Speaker 2: There you go.
1:43:20
Speaker 5: I'm going to Yankee game.
1:43:21
Speaker 2: Randy loves you.
1:43:21
Speaker 5: Because I guess we lost 1-0.
1:43:25
Speaker 25: 1-0.
1:43:25
Speaker 2: How could we lose 1-0? Our offense is inconsistent. So
1:43:31
Speaker 2: tonight's a big game.
1:43:32
Speaker 5: Tonight's a big game.
1:43:33
Speaker 2: But we got the great Cam Schlittler on the mound.
1:43:35
Speaker 2: That's good news, John. Maybe we'll win 1-0 tonight. And
1:43:38
Speaker 2: then Wednesday, that'll be a huge effort in the Bronx.
1:43:40
Speaker 2: That'll be a big, big night. So I know that
1:43:43
Speaker 2: Michael Cohen, who's on every Sunday, he's on your show
1:43:45
Speaker 2: quite a bit, maybe every day now at 5 o'clock.
1:43:48
Speaker 2: He had a meeting, and I know that you actually
1:43:51
Speaker 2: reached out to President Trump early this morning. We are
1:43:54
Speaker 2: now 29 days away from the midterms. I know you
1:43:57
Speaker 2: had a message for the president.
1:43:58
Speaker 5: Well, we went down. You know, we worked late on
1:44:03
Speaker 5: Friday night.
1:44:03
Speaker 2: How long?
1:44:03
Speaker 5: About 14 hours? Oh, yeah. From morning, I was on
1:44:07
Speaker 5: Fox Friday morning at 7 o'clock in the morning.
1:44:11
Speaker 7: Right.
1:44:11
Speaker 5: And I came in, waved at you.
1:44:13
Speaker 4: Right.
1:44:14
Speaker 5: And the party went on until 10.30 or 10 o'clock
1:44:19
Speaker 5: or something. Went out late. And then Saturday morning, I
1:44:23
Speaker 5: had to go to Washington.
1:44:24
Speaker 2: It's a long couple of days.
1:44:26
Speaker 5: You know, the best way to go to Russia is Amtrak.
1:44:29
Speaker 2: That's how we do it.
1:44:30
Speaker 11: Yeah.
1:44:30
Speaker 5: You know why you go from downtown to downtown and, uh, uh,
1:44:35
Speaker 5: me and Michael Cohen went down and, uh, we had
1:44:38
Speaker 5: a small meeting with the, uh, with the president just
1:44:40
Speaker 5: before he took off for Ohio. And basically I told
1:44:44
Speaker 5: him what we're doing. Uh, uh, WABC is fully committed to, to,
1:44:49
Speaker 5: to having common sense, common sense in, uh, for November 3rd.
1:44:56
Speaker 5: Because if we don't have common sense on November 3rd,
1:44:58
Speaker 5: our country is not going to be in good shape.
1:44:59
Speaker 2: Bad shape.
1:45:00
Speaker 5: Bottom line. Me and Michael are probably going to do
1:45:04
Speaker 5: an additional show in the evening sometime. We're trying to
1:45:09
Speaker 5: figure it out right now. It's going to call a countdown. Cats,
1:45:13
Speaker 5: countdown to, I guess, the election. To the midterms. Countdown
1:45:19
Speaker 5: to midterms because the American people have to know what
1:45:22
Speaker 5: is at stake. So I think it's going to be me, Michael,
1:45:25
Speaker 5: and Jake Novak.
1:45:27
Speaker 2: Oh, good.
1:45:28
Speaker 5: And just do everything that's going on with the elections
1:45:32
Speaker 5: and talk about it.
1:45:33
Speaker 2: What do you think? I know you say common sense,
1:45:35
Speaker 2: but what does your gut tell you? What do you
1:45:37
Speaker 2: think we need to do to ensure Republican victories?
1:45:39
Speaker 5: I think that people have to realize that President Trump
1:45:46
Speaker 5: has made America almost drug-free. And You know, I said
1:45:53
Speaker 5: to him, what is it going to take to make
1:45:55
Speaker 5: America drug-free completely? And it's important. Why should our kids
1:46:04
Speaker 5: be dying from these drugs? And you know something? Foreigners
1:46:09
Speaker 5: are feeding it. They're not manufactured in America. It's all
1:46:15
Speaker 5: being sent to America. And I would say if I
1:46:19
Speaker 5: had a dream, My dream would be make America drug-free.
1:46:23
Speaker 2: Oh, me too.
1:46:23
Speaker 5: It would be great. But everybody has to realize that
1:46:28
Speaker 5: America is under attack in so many directions, Sid. So
1:46:32
Speaker 5: many directions. We're under attack. The Europeans want a weaker Trump,
1:46:40
Speaker 5: which is stupid because the fact is that if they
1:46:47
Speaker 5: could freeze Trump, They'll screw us more on those tariffs
1:46:51
Speaker 5: and whatever. And Trump is a businessman. All he wants
1:46:55
Speaker 5: is even Steven. That's all he wants. We don't want
1:47:00
Speaker 5: to take advantage of any of our trading partners. None
1:47:05
Speaker 5: of them. But we don't want them taking advantage of us.
1:47:08
Speaker 5: You know, Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich got the deficit
1:47:16
Speaker 5: down from $ 5.
1:47:16
Speaker 2: 5 trillion.
1:47:18
Speaker 5: Down to five trillion. Well, after that, we never saw
1:47:22
Speaker 5: five trillion again. I mean, it's $ 40 trillion. You know
1:47:31
Speaker 5: where that money went? All the American people know where
1:47:34
Speaker 5: it went. It went to foreign aid. It went to
1:47:40
Speaker 5: protecting NATO, protecting the European community, protecting Japan, protecting Australia.
1:47:48
Speaker 5: protecting all these people, and they weren't putting up their
1:47:52
Speaker 5: own money. So we were protecting the world, and the
1:47:57
Speaker 5: deficit went from $ 5 trillion to $ 40 trillion. We were
1:48:01
Speaker 5: giving them too much leeway on those tariffs because if
1:48:06
Speaker 5: a Chevrolet was $ 50, 000 and we sent it to Germany,
1:48:14
Speaker 5: they charge a hundred thousand for the 50 000 against
1:48:17
Speaker 5: us right and we weren't charging they send mercedes uh
1:48:22
Speaker 5: and bmws to america we weren't charging those kind of
1:48:25
Speaker 5: premiums you know who was making the money the germans
1:48:29
Speaker 5: yep of course you know who was making the money
1:48:31
Speaker 5: when france was sending all that stuff over to champagne
1:48:34
Speaker 5: the french the french yeah look Canada, too.
1:48:37
Speaker 29: Yeah.
1:48:37
Speaker 5: All that Trump wants. He's a businessman.
1:48:40
Speaker 2: All he wants is even Stephen. I think if you're
1:48:44
Speaker 2: an American, you'd like that, wouldn't you?
1:48:45
Speaker 5: That's all I want.
1:48:45
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you like that? That's all I want.
1:48:47
Speaker 5: We don't want to take advantage of anybody, but we
1:48:50
Speaker 5: don't want anybody taking advantage of us. If we're going
1:48:52
Speaker 5: to protect you, well, pitching your fair share.
1:48:56
Speaker 2: That's it.
1:48:57
Speaker 5: Pitching your fair share to protect.
1:48:58
Speaker 20: That's it. Right.
1:48:59
Speaker 5: And the one thing that we discussed with the president
1:49:01
Speaker 5: about Iran, there's no way. There's no way. You know,
1:49:07
Speaker 5: we're coming. October 7th is the third year anniversary.
1:49:10
Speaker 2: This Wednesday.
1:49:10
Speaker 5: We can't. And we got to do something special. I'm
1:49:13
Speaker 5: sure you're going to do something special.
1:49:14
Speaker 2: Right now, it looks like I may have. I may have.
1:49:17
Speaker 2: And you know me. I don't stop. Bibi and President Herzog,
1:49:21
Speaker 2: both on Wednesday.
1:49:21
Speaker 5: Well, you know something? It's a special day for them.
1:49:25
Speaker 5: And they've got a big election coming up at the
1:49:27
Speaker 5: end of October. But, you know, we have never forget.
1:49:33
Speaker 2: Well.
1:49:35
Speaker 5: The one thing we decided at WABC, along with Tunnels
1:49:39
Speaker 5: to Tower, along with Police Athletic League, and along with
1:49:45
Speaker 5: the Pataki Foundation, on 9-11, we will, every year, no
1:49:50
Speaker 5: matter what day it falls on, we're going to have
1:49:53
Speaker 5: a big event on 9-11. Never forget what they did
1:49:57
Speaker 5: to us on 9-11.
1:49:58
Speaker 2: Love it. That's the gala every year now, 9-11. Every year.
1:50:00
Speaker 5: I love that.
1:50:01
Speaker 20: 9-11.
1:50:01
Speaker 5: No matter what day it is.
1:50:02
Speaker 2: Final 60 seconds.
1:50:04
Speaker 11: Yeah.
1:50:05
Speaker 2: And again, not to patronize you, I don't do that.
1:50:07
Speaker 2: But when you do something great, I give you credit.
1:50:10
Speaker 2: And I thought that you and Margo on this station
1:50:12
Speaker 2: really did an unbelievable job when my partner and your
1:50:17
Speaker 2: friend and my friend passed away four years ago today.
1:50:21
Speaker 2: Does it feel like that to you, John?
1:50:22
Speaker 5: It does. It feels like yesterday. Right. I was so sad.
1:50:27
Speaker 5: I don't think, you know, it doesn't happen every day.
1:50:31
Speaker 5: We took St. Patrick's Cathedral yesterday. And I don't know, 5,000 seats, 4,000 seats.
1:50:35
Speaker 5: I don't know how many it has. There wasn't a
1:50:39
Speaker 5: seat left in the house. That's right. And we gave
1:50:47
Speaker 5: Bernie the fear of going away. And the one thing,
1:50:53
Speaker 5: like me and you talked, Bernie didn't have to die.
1:50:57
Speaker 2: No.
1:50:57
Speaker 5: I did a special doctor's thing from Yale University on–
1:51:05
Speaker 5: on prostate cancer, I'm going to send it to you
1:51:08
Speaker 5: because nobody has to die from prostate cancer.
1:51:11
Speaker 2: Oh, wait, the other day you had Ed Randall on. Yes.
1:51:13
Speaker 2: And didn't he talk about Bernie?
1:51:15
Speaker 5: Yes, we talked about Bernie. I'll send you a copy
1:51:18
Speaker 5: of the audio.
1:51:18
Speaker 2: Yes, I heard it.
1:51:19
Speaker 18: Yes.
1:51:20
Speaker 5: And he didn't have to die. And it's curable. It's curable. 99%, 95%.
1:51:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do. They survive. I know it's terrible. He
1:51:31
Speaker 2: had to die.
1:51:32
Speaker 5: Thank you for all the great work you do. The
1:51:34
Speaker 5: president loves you.
1:51:36
Speaker 20: You too.
1:51:37
Speaker 5: The president really, really loves you. He loves WABC.
1:51:42
Speaker 2: He does. It's his favorite station by far.
1:51:44
Speaker 4: Yes.
1:51:44
Speaker 2: By far.
1:51:45
Speaker 17: Absolutely.
1:51:45
Speaker 2: It's not even close.
1:51:46
Speaker 5: Absolutely.
1:51:46
Speaker 2: He's very close with you and me and Michael and
1:51:48
Speaker 2: Greg and all of us.
1:51:49
Speaker 5: I mean, almost every person.
1:51:52
Speaker 2: The whole station.
1:51:53
Speaker 5: I know.
1:51:53
Speaker 17: Roger, too.
1:51:54
Speaker 2: That's right.
1:51:54
Speaker 5: Is there anybody he's not close to?
1:51:56
Speaker 2: Not really. No. Rita, too. Rita's in the Oval Office.
1:51:59
Speaker 5: Quite a bit.
1:51:59
Speaker 11: Rita, absolutely.
1:52:00
Speaker 29: Yeah.
1:52:01
Speaker 5: And we got to make sure America stays America. And
1:52:07
Speaker 5: they don't... We want immigration. We don't want migrants coming
1:52:12
Speaker 5: in that want to change America. They want to change America.
1:52:15
Speaker 5: Go someplace else.
1:52:16
Speaker 2: That's it. Immigration, like you say, not invasion. And once again,
1:52:19
Speaker 2: happy anniversary to you and your beautiful wife. You guys
1:52:21
Speaker 2: are great. Thank you, John.
1:52:22
Speaker 5: Keep fighting for America.
1:52:24
Speaker 2: You too. That's my man, John Katzmatidis. Does not one,
1:52:26
Speaker 2: but two great shows here at WABC. 5 p.m. every
1:52:30
Speaker 2: weekday afternoon alongside Rita Cosby. It is the Katz and
1:52:33
Speaker 2: Cosby Show. And, of course, his masterpiece, 8 a.m. every
1:52:37
Speaker 2: Sunday morning. The Catch Roundtable, my friend John Katzmatidis.
1:52:41
Speaker 1: Sid and Friends.
1:52:43
Speaker 3: In the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
1:52:47
Speaker 2: Let's talk to David Carr, the great city councilman out
1:52:51
Speaker 2: of Staten Island. One of the two there with Frank Marano. David,
1:52:54
Speaker 2: good morning, buddy. How are you?
1:52:56
Speaker 5: Good morning, Sid.
1:52:57
Speaker 20: I'm great.
1:52:57
Speaker 17: How are you?
1:52:58
Speaker 2: I'm great. Are you on your way to, what time
1:53:00
Speaker 2: is this meeting, this AI meeting?
1:53:03
Speaker 17: It's going to start at 11 a.m.
1:53:04
Speaker 18: Today.
1:53:04
Speaker 33: I'll be on my way as soon as you and
1:53:06
Speaker 33: I finish chatting about it.
1:53:08
Speaker 2: Okay, great. So as far as I know, everybody, all
1:53:13
Speaker 2: 51 members from the council, they're going to be there today, yes? Yes.
1:53:18
Speaker 17: So this is a meeting of the committee of the whole.
1:53:20
Speaker 33: Basically, the entire body sits as a committee to hear,
1:53:24
Speaker 33: do oversight and hear testimony.
1:53:26
Speaker 17: About potential legislation.
1:53:28
Speaker 33: This only happens when there's really important matters happening.
1:53:32
Speaker 18: Review.
1:53:33
Speaker 33: And the last time the council did this was at.
1:53:35
Speaker 20: The end of 2022.
1:53:35
Speaker 17: And we had a committee.
1:53:38
Speaker 20: Of the whole on the migrant crisis.
1:53:41
Speaker 33: I have a lot higher hopes for this meeting than
1:53:43
Speaker 33: I did for that one, because most of my colleagues
1:53:44
Speaker 33: spent time trying to see what more the city should
1:53:47
Speaker 33: be doing for the migrants. So that was a missed
1:53:50
Speaker 33: opportunity for sure. But I think today, you know, I
1:53:53
Speaker 33: think this is the issue of the moment. So I
1:53:56
Speaker 33: think it's really timely that we're doing it.
1:53:58
Speaker 2: And there are really two sides to this, like everything else, obviously.
1:54:02
Speaker 2: One is the Trump side. I'm on Trump's side, which is, okay,
1:54:06
Speaker 2: we've got to beat China. We need to be number
1:54:08
Speaker 2: one in AI. That's it, all right? Take it easy
1:54:11
Speaker 2: with the guardrails and the bots are taking over the
1:54:14
Speaker 2: world and all the safety issues. Then there's the other side,
1:54:17
Speaker 2: which I just mentioned, with some of these bigwigs that
1:54:20
Speaker 2: these AI giants are the first to say, you know,
1:54:23
Speaker 2: it's dangerous. We need guardrails. We can't just get too
1:54:26
Speaker 2: carried away with this stuff. Where does David Carr fall
1:54:29
Speaker 2: on this, and where do you think the city council
1:54:32
Speaker 2: falls on this?
1:54:34
Speaker 33: So, you know, I agree with the president when he
1:54:37
Speaker 33: said the most important thing is self-regulation, right? And I
1:54:40
Speaker 33: think that's true in any industry, and no field of
1:54:44
Speaker 33: endeavor can succeed unless you have, you know, corporate entities
1:54:47
Speaker 33: who are acting responsibly in these areas. But I think
1:54:52
Speaker 33: also this is an important moment where AI companies can
1:54:55
Speaker 33: be on the ground floor of whatever approach the city
1:54:59
Speaker 33: or other parts of our government are going to take
1:55:02
Speaker 33: moving forward. I think what we've seen in the past
1:55:05
Speaker 33: is when you have new fields of endeavor, they build
1:55:09
Speaker 33: up all this architecture in an environment with no regulations,
1:55:13
Speaker 33: and then government comes barreling in later on down the line.
1:55:17
Speaker 33: and it causes significant disruption to their costs. I mean,
1:55:19
Speaker 33: you're even seeing now with OpenAI cooperating with the investigation
1:55:24
Speaker 33: into recent data breaches, it's costing them half a million
1:55:26
Speaker 33: a day to cooperate with DOJ. So I think that
1:55:30
Speaker 33: they have a financial stake, and the president's right. This
1:55:33
Speaker 33: is an incredibly powerful and valuable tool, and I think
1:55:38
Speaker 33: we need to protect it. So I'm coming into this
1:55:41
Speaker 33: hearing with an open mind. I want to hear what
1:55:42
Speaker 33: these companies have to say. I want to hear what
1:55:45
Speaker 33: others have to say about it. And then I think,
1:55:47
Speaker 33: you know, we have to figure out our approach because
1:55:50
Speaker 33: this is a technology that's fast growing, fast evolving. It's
1:55:54
Speaker 33: part of so much of our lives professionally and personally already.
1:55:57
Speaker 33: And I think that there's a lot of opportunities ahead.
1:56:00
Speaker 2: I think most people are confused. They know about AI.
1:56:03
Speaker 2: You Google stuff now, for example, and AI pops up, right?
1:56:07
Speaker 2: And they know about it in schools. They know about
1:56:10
Speaker 2: it in courts. They know about it. in all your businesses,
1:56:14
Speaker 2: but most people don't know the nitty-gritty. They just know
1:56:17
Speaker 2: that there's a battle going on right now, and there
1:56:19
Speaker 2: are meetings being held everywhere about it, from the White
1:56:22
Speaker 2: House just about 10 days ago to you guys today.
1:56:26
Speaker 2: So what do you want to accomplish when this meeting
1:56:29
Speaker 2: is over today? What does the city council look to do,
1:56:34
Speaker 2: David Carr, in the near future?
1:56:37
Speaker 33: So I think some of the things you see on
1:56:39
Speaker 33: the agenda of the council today, you know, you have,
1:56:42
Speaker 33: you know, my colleague, you mentioned Frank Morano earlier. He
1:56:44
Speaker 33: has a bill that's about, you know, protecting people in
1:56:47
Speaker 33: terms of their.
1:56:48
Speaker 2: Health, right?
1:56:48
Speaker 33: A lot of people, even before AI, were going to
1:56:51
Speaker 33: WebMD and doing some self-diagnosis. Now you have people talking
1:56:54
Speaker 33: to chatbots, trying to figure out what they've got, what
1:56:58
Speaker 33: they need to do health-wise before, or even an alternative
1:57:01
Speaker 33: of seeking help from a doctor, right? So I think
1:57:04
Speaker 33: that he's looking to protect people people from getting bad
1:57:07
Speaker 33: information because AI sometimes gives very bad information. I do think,
1:57:11
Speaker 33: you know, the speaker has a piece of legislation that
1:57:13
Speaker 33: talks about whether we need a kill switch, a human
1:57:16
Speaker 33: kill switch for these programs or not. I'm really interested
1:57:19
Speaker 33: to hear from these companies whether they think these sorts
1:57:22
Speaker 33: of safeguards, as you called them earlier, are necessary, and
1:57:26
Speaker 33: if not, why not?
1:57:27
Speaker 20: And I think so.
1:57:27
Speaker 18: I think this is.
1:57:28
Speaker 33: Really an important information gathering exercise And I look forward
1:57:32
Speaker 33: to really hearing what everyone has to say.
1:57:35
Speaker 2: No, I get it. But practically, what does it mean
1:57:37
Speaker 2: for the city? In other words, you're not building data centers, okay?
1:57:40
Speaker 2: So practically, what does it mean for the city?
1:57:44
Speaker 33: So, I mean, I think practically the city engages in
1:57:47
Speaker 33: a lot of contracting with private entities, many of which
1:57:50
Speaker 33: may now be offering AI services as part of their suite.
1:57:54
Speaker 33: And there's a lot of companies that may be using
1:57:56
Speaker 33: it as a background thing when they already have a
1:57:58
Speaker 33: city contract. So we have a little bit of an
1:58:01
Speaker 33: approach there where we're trying to get to an understanding
1:58:04
Speaker 33: of how this is going to affect cities contracting. Maybe
1:58:07
Speaker 33: it actually helps us save money in the long term.
1:58:10
Speaker 18: Term.
1:58:11
Speaker 33: And the city council has pretty strong economic regulatory powers.
1:58:15
Speaker 33: I think sometimes that's not for the best. that other
1:58:18
Speaker 33: municipal legislative bodies don't have. So I think that the
1:58:21
Speaker 33: council is looking for is like, what if anything are
1:58:24
Speaker 33: we permitted to do here, particularly in light of the
1:58:26
Speaker 33: fact that Congress hasn't done much, right? If Congress has
1:58:29
Speaker 33: already passed some things, we're preempted usually from getting involved.
1:58:32
Speaker 33: But in this case, because there's this absence of legislation,
1:58:36
Speaker 33: of regulation coming out of DC, cities and states are
1:58:40
Speaker 33: gonna look to see if they can fill that gap.
1:58:42
Speaker 33: And I think that's also gonna be part of the
1:58:43
Speaker 33: question today. What lawfully are we empowered to do?
1:58:47
Speaker 2: And on the way out, David Carr, you really are terrific.
1:58:49
Speaker 2: You know that. You're a great Staten Island City Council
1:58:52
Speaker 2: member who will be the next Staten Island Borough President.
1:58:55
Speaker 2: That's right. I said it, and I'll say it again.
1:58:56
Speaker 2: He will be the next Staten Island Borough President. David,
1:59:00
Speaker 2: you're welcome. Are you guys infighting about this with the
1:59:03
Speaker 2: Democrats or not really?
1:59:06
Speaker 17: I think that remains to be seen.
1:59:07
Speaker 33: I think that there is an instinct to regulate, which, frankly,
1:59:11
Speaker 33: I and my colleagues on the right never have. But
1:59:15
Speaker 33: I think we're going to have to see whether the
1:59:18
Speaker 33: approach today is one where folks have already made up
1:59:21
Speaker 33: their mind and they want to go guns a-blazing into this,
1:59:25
Speaker 33: or is it really a legitimate information-gathering exercise? You talked
1:59:30
Speaker 33: about it earlier. There are some people that seem to
1:59:32
Speaker 33: think AI is like Skynet from Terminator, that suddenly everything
1:59:37
Speaker 33: is going to be a disaster. But I think it's
1:59:41
Speaker 33: more about seeing the opportunities and making sure we don't
1:59:45
Speaker 33: stymie them by trying to maybe get at some of
1:59:49
Speaker 33: the things on the margins that have been problematic. But
1:59:52
Speaker 33: I think it's important we acknowledge that AI, like everything else,
1:59:55
Speaker 33: nothing's 100% a good thing. And I think maybe there
1:59:58
Speaker 33: could be a precision way for us to get involved.
2:00:00
Speaker 33: But I really think we have to be open-minded about this.
2:00:03
Speaker 33: If we just have ideological blinders on going in, then
2:00:06
Speaker 33: we're going to be doomed to make things worse.
2:00:08
Speaker 2: Final 60 seconds. You guys need to hold a meeting
2:00:10
Speaker 2: about this. My friend Deborah Lee was on social media
2:00:13
Speaker 2: talking about this over the weekend. Mamdani, there's nothing to
2:00:16
Speaker 2: do with the AI technology. Mamdani banning the NYPD from
2:00:22
Speaker 2: responding to 311 calls about homeless encampments. So the consensus
2:00:29
Speaker 2: among smart people is, is that this winter, we're going
2:00:32
Speaker 2: to look more and more like Los Angeles. There'll be
2:00:35
Speaker 2: homeless encampments all over the place. Are you guys at
2:00:39
Speaker 2: the city council aware of him banning this? And are
2:00:42
Speaker 2: you prepared to do something about it?
2:00:45
Speaker 33: I definitely heard about it. It's absolutely the wrong decision.
2:00:49
Speaker 33: The reality is, is that when you're dealing with the
2:00:51
Speaker 33: homeless in the city or really anywhere, there needs to
2:00:54
Speaker 33: be a public safety component to the approach.
2:00:57
Speaker 17: Yes, there are some people that need help.
2:00:58
Speaker 33: They need to get into a shelter. They need to
2:01:00
Speaker 33: get into programs. But you never know how folks are
2:01:03
Speaker 33: going to react when a civilian employee of the city
2:01:06
Speaker 33: or some agency approaches. And it might actually put them
2:01:09
Speaker 33: in danger. You need to have officers on the scene.
2:01:12
Speaker 33: They need to be leading the response. And the fact
2:01:16
Speaker 33: that they're not allowed to respond to them anymore, you're
2:01:18
Speaker 33: 100 percent right. The 10 cities are only going to
2:01:20
Speaker 33: go up faster and they're going to get larger. And
2:01:23
Speaker 33: you mentioned the winter.
2:01:25
Speaker 17: We could have more people.
2:01:26
Speaker 33: Dying on the streets because of this policy. People are
2:01:29
Speaker 33: going to freeze to death. Sometimes people need to be
2:01:32
Speaker 33: told that they need to get inside. They need to
2:01:34
Speaker 33: be told to get into a shelter. And if you're
2:01:36
Speaker 33: not a police officer, you can't tell people to do that.
2:01:39
Speaker 33: So I think that this is just a disaster in
2:01:41
Speaker 33: the making, and it absolutely needs to be reversed and reconsidered.
2:01:45
Speaker 2: You talk about people dying. He just had that last year.
2:01:48
Speaker 2: That snowstorm. Like more than a dozen people, like 20-something
2:01:52
Speaker 2: people died. You'd think he'd be sensitive to the fact
2:01:54
Speaker 2: a moron, the mayor. I guess he doesn't care. David Carr,
2:01:57
Speaker 2: as always, amazing job. Good luck in your meeting today,
2:02:00
Speaker 2: and please keep coming back. You really are terrific. Thank
2:02:02
Speaker 2: you so much.
2:02:03
Speaker 17: Thank you, Sid.
2:02:04
Speaker 2: Take care. David Carr right there, one of our five
2:02:06
Speaker 2: Republican city council people, one of the two from Staten Island,
2:02:10
Speaker 2: in fact, Mano being the other, and he is running
2:02:12
Speaker 2: for borough president. Beat up what Sella's done after this.
2:02:15
Speaker 2: David Carr, our next borough president in Staten Island. We'll
2:02:19
Speaker 2: take a break. Still more to do. Sal Licata, WFAN host.
2:02:22
Speaker 2: We'll talk about the Yankees and the Giants and all
2:02:24
Speaker 2: that good stuff. I hand it off to Brian Kilmeade.
2:02:28
Speaker 3: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
2:02:31
Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
2:02:33
Speaker 2: When I check my own calendar, if God is good
2:02:36
Speaker 2: to me and I make it, you just don't know.
2:02:38
Speaker 2: But assuming I make it April 19th, I'll be 60. 60?
2:02:42
Speaker 2: I mean, 60 is not necessarily old. I feel old.
2:02:47
Speaker 2: I'm sore. I'm tired all the time. All the time.
2:02:50
Speaker 2: I was talking to Dominic Carter about that. I'm always
2:02:53
Speaker 2: tired because I get up in the middle of the night.
2:02:54
Speaker 2: We go to work in the dark, Lou and I.
2:02:56
Speaker 2: But 60? First of all, let me just say this
2:02:59
Speaker 2: at the risk of sounding like a dick. I don't
2:03:00
Speaker 2: look 60. I look great. I really do. But I
2:03:04
Speaker 2: feel it. And Steve Miller must be 83. Boss Gags
2:03:08
Speaker 2: must be 82. And the rest of these crazy numbers.
2:03:11
Speaker 2: Every time we celebrate a birthday on this show, from
2:03:14
Speaker 2: some celebrity or rock star, they're in their 70s and 80s.
2:03:18
Speaker 2: Every time.
2:03:19
Speaker 13: That's it.
2:03:19
Speaker 2: Because we don't celebrate, I guess, Miley Cyrus' birthday or
2:03:23
Speaker 2: Justin Bieber. I don't even know who the famous people
2:03:25
Speaker 2: are anymore. We're not going to celebrate Zach Bryan anymore
2:03:28
Speaker 2: because he loves Palestine. That moron. And that's just Alex's favorite.
2:03:33
Speaker 2: It was.
2:03:34
Speaker 6: It's his fault, too.
2:03:35
Speaker 2: It is your fault. Big problem. You really like that
2:03:37
Speaker 2: guy that much? He was a Marine, too. Well, listen,
2:03:40
Speaker 2: not every... Graham Plattner. Yeah, that's true. Was a serviceman, too.
2:03:43
Speaker 2: That's true. Is there a bigger loser than Graham Plattner?
2:03:46
Speaker 30: No, but this guy makes a living on writing songs
2:03:48
Speaker 30: about his experience.
2:03:50
Speaker 2: What's your favorite song of his? I don't even know
2:03:52
Speaker 2: what his songs are.
2:03:53
Speaker 18: I should.
2:03:53
Speaker 2: I don't know. I get confused with him. He confuses
2:03:57
Speaker 2: me with the guy that's on American Idol. What's that
2:03:59
Speaker 2: guy's name?
2:03:59
Speaker 18: Luke.
2:04:00
Speaker 2: Luke Bryan. You got a Zach Bryan. You got a
2:04:02
Speaker 2: Luke Bryan. A lot of Bryans. A lot of Bryans.
2:04:06
Speaker 30: But I could have figured out he was trending this
2:04:07
Speaker 30: direction when he came out with that song that he
2:04:09
Speaker 30: does with Bruce.
2:04:10
Speaker 6: You know, he collabed with Bruce.
2:04:11
Speaker 2: Oh, Springsteen? Yeah, he's got to be close with him.
2:04:13
Speaker 2: No wonder he's a douchebag.
2:04:14
Speaker 11: Exactly.
2:04:15
Speaker 30: So, you know, it was only a matter of time.
2:04:16
Speaker 2: There was a big concert this weekend, Saturday night, and
2:04:20
Speaker 2: my fans were tweeting me and Instagramming me and messaging me.
2:04:24
Speaker 2: And it was the Dave Matthews Band. Nobody hates Israel
2:04:28
Speaker 2: more than Dave Matthews. He's the worst of all the
2:04:31
Speaker 2: free Palestine assholes. But Bruce was there, too, I think.
2:04:34
Speaker 2: Is that right, Lewis?
2:04:35
Speaker 5: Yes.
2:04:36
Speaker 25: It was, what did I say it was called?
2:04:38
Speaker 13: Power to the People, right?
2:04:39
Speaker 2: My God. Power to the Idiots.
2:04:42
Speaker 25: That's where I see Dave Matthews.
2:04:44
Speaker 2: Bruce.
2:04:45
Speaker 18: Oh, you?
2:04:45
Speaker 2: You talked about Rage Against the Machine.
2:04:47
Speaker 25: Yeah, Tom Morello.
2:04:49
Speaker 2: That guy's a psycho and an idiot. Is he not?
2:04:52
Speaker 25: He and Bruce are very close now.
2:04:54
Speaker 18: Ew.
2:04:55
Speaker 25: And he plays with the band.
2:04:56
Speaker 10: Ew.
2:04:56
Speaker 6: Ew.
2:04:59
Speaker 25: I think I see Joan Baez in this picture.
2:05:02
Speaker 2: It's possible. It's possible.
2:05:04
Speaker 25: Man, I wonder how old she is.
2:05:06
Speaker 2: She's probably about 75, maybe 80.
2:05:09
Speaker 5: I don't know.
2:05:10
Speaker 2: Where was this concert?
2:05:11
Speaker 5: Oh, Maryland.
2:05:12
Speaker 2: That's right.
2:05:12
Speaker 6: Yeah, Columbia, Maryland.
2:05:13
Speaker 2: All right, let me take a break because we've got
2:05:16
Speaker 2: Yankee baseball tonight, a huge playoff game. Yankees don't want
2:05:19
Speaker 2: to fall behind 2-0. 85. 85, okay. As we talked
2:05:23
Speaker 2: about this morning, this series is a best of five,
2:05:26
Speaker 2: not best of seven. So if the Yankees lose tonight,
2:05:29
Speaker 2: they would have to win three straight games or they'd
2:05:33
Speaker 2: be gone. So Cam Schlittler, who pitched a magnificent game
2:05:37
Speaker 2: for the Yankees in their 9-0 walloping of the Red Sox,
2:05:41
Speaker 2: game one of the wild card series, is back on
2:05:43
Speaker 2: the mound for the Yankees tonight. We'll talk Yankees. We'll
2:05:45
Speaker 2: talk Jets. We'll talk Giants. All the local stuff with
2:05:49
Speaker 2: WFAN big-time talent Sal Licata also has his own podcast
2:05:55
Speaker 2: making your second appearance on sit and friends in the
2:05:58
Speaker 2: morning we talk new york sports.
2:06:00
Speaker 3: Sid and friends in the morning on the red apple
2:06:04
Speaker 3: podcast network reset and.
2:06:07
Speaker 34: The cardinals break the huddle two receivers left two to
2:06:14
Speaker 34: the right McBride comes in motion. Preset back.
2:06:18
Speaker 2: Pumps. Intercepted by the Giants as he throws it left.
2:06:21
Speaker 2: Deontay Banks across midfield. Down the right sideline. 40, 30, 20, 15, 10, 5.
2:06:26
Speaker 5: Touchdown, Giants!
2:06:36
Speaker 35: On a day in which the 86 Giants were honored,
2:06:43
Speaker 35: it's the Giants defense of 2026.
2:06:48
Speaker 2: That saves the day today. Giants are 3-1, Jets are 1-3.
2:06:51
Speaker 2: Let's discuss all of it on a Yankee playoff day.
2:06:54
Speaker 2: Talking about WFAN, one of their terrific hosts and a
2:06:57
Speaker 2: kid that I've loved for a lot of years, Sal Licata. Sally,
2:07:00
Speaker 2: good morning, buddy. How are you?
2:07:01
Speaker 20: You do realize I got fired from WFAN, right?
2:07:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, but don't you do like a Saturday show or
2:07:06
Speaker 2: a Sunday show or something?
2:07:08
Speaker 20: No. You think I'm doing weekends? Come on, man.
2:07:10
Speaker 2: I thought you were doing something there. You're doing nothing?
2:07:13
Speaker 20: I'm doing nothing there. I work at SNY.
2:07:16
Speaker 29: I built my own business with Underscore Media.
2:07:17
Speaker 20: I got my YouTube show, but I am no.
2:07:19
Speaker 17: Longer with the fan. I got fired like you did.
2:07:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm allowed to come back. Are you allowed?
2:07:24
Speaker 2: Have you burnt every bridge there at this point?
2:07:26
Speaker 20: No, no, no. You think I burnt bridges?
2:07:29
Speaker 18: Come on.
2:07:30
Speaker 17: If you didn't burn bridges, I certainly.
2:07:31
Speaker 20: Didn't burn bridges.
2:07:32
Speaker 2: No.
2:07:32
Speaker 20: I can go back.
2:07:33
Speaker 2: Chernoff brought me back a million times. I mean, a million.
2:07:36
Speaker 2: Of course, he's not there these days. You've got to
2:07:38
Speaker 2: deal with Chris Oliveira, my boy, but... I didn't realize that.
2:07:41
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. So you do the SNY stuff, and you've
2:07:43
Speaker 2: got your own terrific podcast. What's that called for the listeners?
2:07:46
Speaker 20: Do you still want me on because I'm no longer
2:07:48
Speaker 20: a fan? It doesn't matter. We could just end the conversation.
2:07:50
Speaker 17: Yeah, the Sal Licata Show.
2:07:51
Speaker 29: It's a really creative name, the Sal Licata Show, live
2:07:54
Speaker 29: on YouTube every morning at 9 a.m., which I, in fact,
2:07:56
Speaker 29: cut short this morning to be on with you, my friend.
2:07:58
Speaker 2: To answer that question, the answer is yes. is yes.
2:08:00
Speaker 2: I'd rather not you come on the program anymore. I mean,
2:08:06
Speaker 2: I get Carton, I get Meningo, I get all the guys. No,
2:08:08
Speaker 2: I'm just kidding. Of course I still want you on
2:08:10
Speaker 2: the program. You're great. You're a very talented guy. I
2:08:13
Speaker 2: love you. You're New York sports. I don't care about that.
2:08:16
Speaker 2: So get to this. Get to the Giants. You're funny, Sal. 3-1,
2:08:19
Speaker 2: first place, Dallas. They beat Houston yesterday. They're a game back.
2:08:22
Speaker 2: The Eagles are a mess. They lost to the Rams.
2:08:24
Speaker 2: They're a game back, and the Redskins are finished. So,
2:08:26
Speaker 2: I mean, are we starting to think that even without
2:08:29
Speaker 2: Jackson Dart, without Brian Burns, all these guys, that the
2:08:33
Speaker 2: Giants can stay in this, or have they taken advantage
2:08:37
Speaker 2: of a pretty easy schedule to start?
2:08:39
Speaker 20: I think they can.
2:08:40
Speaker 29: I think it's legit because when you have a head
2:08:41
Speaker 29: coach like that and you play special teams the way
2:08:44
Speaker 29: that they do and you win games that you're supposed
2:08:46
Speaker 29: to win.
2:08:46
Speaker 17: Also said, look at the NFC East.
2:08:48
Speaker 29: The Eagles showed poorly yesterday. They've been playing with fire
2:08:51
Speaker 29: for two years and they probably started to lose some
2:08:53
Speaker 29: of these games. The Cowboys, they don't play any defense.
2:08:56
Speaker 29: The Giants already beat them. So, yeah, I mean, what
2:08:58
Speaker 29: would I, you know, what I throw the.
2:09:01
Speaker 20: The mortgage on the.
2:09:02
Speaker 17: Giants winning the NFC East, probably not at this particular point,
2:09:05
Speaker 17: but I do think it's in play here. They did
2:09:07
Speaker 17: what they needed to.
2:09:08
Speaker 29: Do these last couple of weeks. They still have a
2:09:10
Speaker 29: couple of easy games or easier games the next few
2:09:12
Speaker 29: weeks at Washington. I don't know about Jaden Daniels' status.
2:09:15
Speaker 29: against the Saints, and then at Houston is 0-4 themselves.
2:09:19
Speaker 29: Going into the bye week here, I think the Giants
2:09:20
Speaker 29: can win a couple of these games, and then they
2:09:22
Speaker 29: have Philadelphia on the road coming out of the bye
2:09:24
Speaker 29: week in Week 9, which I think will be the
2:09:26
Speaker 29: real test if they can win this division or not.
2:09:28
Speaker 2: Looks like Jen Daniels will play this week, of course.
2:09:30
Speaker 2: The Redskins are down to their third-string quarterback. Yes, I
2:09:33
Speaker 2: know the commander. Shut up. in the London loss to
2:09:35
Speaker 2: the Colts. Some kid from Rutgers had a play. But
2:09:38
Speaker 2: it looks like Daniels will be back next week. But
2:09:40
Speaker 2: I think you're right. I think the Giants do what
2:09:42
Speaker 2: they got to do to win. These are not great
2:09:44
Speaker 2: football teams. The division is not very good. So we're
2:09:47
Speaker 2: going to see. I'll tell you what, I feel a
2:09:48
Speaker 2: lot better about the Giants than the Jets, who just,
2:09:51
Speaker 2: their defense stops nobody. And yesterday they weren't very good offensively.
2:09:55
Speaker 2: The Bears have a pretty good defense. Jets are 1-3.
2:09:57
Speaker 2: And to me, with Aaron Glenn, he may be the
2:09:59
Speaker 2: worst coach in football. He's up there. They're on a
2:10:02
Speaker 2: road to nowhere. What do you see from the Jets?
2:10:04
Speaker 20: Yeah, who is worse than Aaron Glenn? I mean, Robert Sala.
2:10:07
Speaker 17: What I see from the Jets is a total mess
2:10:09
Speaker 17: yet again. They blew a game in week two that
2:10:11
Speaker 17: they had no business losing. The Packers were very good.
2:10:13
Speaker 2: That was the coach. That was the coach. He blew
2:10:15
Speaker 2: that game. He really did.
2:10:16
Speaker 29: Well, I bet that's what I'm saying. And then week three,
2:10:18
Speaker 29: it's like, oh, you know what? They can compete because
2:10:20
Speaker 29: they almost beat the Lions.
2:10:21
Speaker 2: Great.
2:10:22
Speaker 20: Another moral victory for the Jets.
2:10:24
Speaker 29: And then yesterday, they're non-competitive to the point where one
2:10:26
Speaker 29: of the Bears defensive players says it was the easiest
2:10:29
Speaker 29: NFL game he's ever been a part of.
2:10:31
Speaker 20: The Jets win.
2:10:32
Speaker 29: I mean, that is like, and now you know what's
2:10:34
Speaker 29: going to happen. You have a rookie, not a rookie,
2:10:37
Speaker 29: but he's basically, like last year was pre-K, and this
2:10:40
Speaker 29: year is kindergarten for Aaron Glenn. He's learning on the job.
2:10:43
Speaker 29: When you start to lose again, that's.
2:10:45
Speaker 17: Going to seep through the locker room.
2:10:47
Speaker 20: They can't get Garrett Wilson to football.
2:10:49
Speaker 17: He's going to be upset again.
2:10:51
Speaker 29: It's a whole toxic mess with the Jets, who I
2:10:54
Speaker 29: was told were supposed.
2:10:55
Speaker 17: To, the Jets wished that they were the Raiders. The
2:10:57
Speaker 17: Raiders were that team that was like, hey, you know what?
2:10:59
Speaker 17: Nobody's going to think they're any good. And yet they're
2:11:01
Speaker 17: 3-1 this.
2:11:01
Speaker 29: Year and competitive under a young head coach. They're actually
2:11:04
Speaker 29: showing the results. The Jets, the results, unfortunately, Sid, it's
2:11:07
Speaker 29: the same old Jets.
2:11:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Raiders were good yesterday in a loss to
2:11:09
Speaker 2: Kansas City. They end up covering on a touchdown, a
2:11:12
Speaker 2: two-point conversion at the very end of the game. He
2:11:14
Speaker 2: took the Chiefs. He wanted to kill himself yesterday. The Vikings, too.
2:11:17
Speaker 2: The Vikings, too. If you're late 10 with the Vikings,
2:11:19
Speaker 2: it's unbelievable. They're up by five. Hawkinson catches a pass
2:11:24
Speaker 2: over his name. He can waltz into the end zone.
2:11:26
Speaker 2: He falls down at the one-yard line. Now, look. If
2:11:30
Speaker 2: the Vikings score there, they go up by 11 with
2:11:33
Speaker 2: the extra point, 12. There's two minutes left. The Dolphins
2:11:37
Speaker 2: are out of timeouts. You don't give up a touchdown
2:11:40
Speaker 2: when you go up by two scores. One score game,
2:11:42
Speaker 2: I get it because you don't want the team to
2:11:44
Speaker 2: get the football in a one-score situation. They would have
2:11:46
Speaker 2: gone up by 12. They were favored by 10. The
2:11:49
Speaker 2: guy fell down at the one-yard line. I mean, there
2:11:51
Speaker 2: were games yesterday. If you bet the NFL, you'd want
2:11:53
Speaker 2: to kill yourself when the Chiefs and Raiders were one
2:11:55
Speaker 2: of those. Let me get to all the Yankees. Game
2:11:58
Speaker 2: two tonight, Yankees shut out game one. That's going to
2:12:01
Speaker 2: be the issue against Tampa Bay. This is not Boston.
2:12:04
Speaker 2: Yankees scored 18 runs in two games. They got Schlittler
2:12:07
Speaker 2: back on the mound tonight. He was magnificent that was there,
2:12:10
Speaker 2: that game one win against Boston. But people forget, this
2:12:12
Speaker 2: is not the best of seven. This is the best
2:12:14
Speaker 2: of five. So if the Rays find a way to
2:12:17
Speaker 2: beat Schlittler tonight... Yankees got to win three in a row.
2:12:20
Speaker 2: That is unlikely, if not improbable, if not impossible. This
2:12:24
Speaker 2: is a must win for the Yankees tonight. Yes.
2:12:27
Speaker 20: I see it the other way. I think it's a
2:12:28
Speaker 20: must win for the Rays tonight because.
2:12:30
Speaker 17: You have, here's the, here's the scenario.
2:12:32
Speaker 18: Okay.
2:12:32
Speaker 5: Yeah.
2:12:33
Speaker 17: Cancel is on the mound.
2:12:34
Speaker 20: Obviously you don't want to get, or go down.
2:12:35
Speaker 5: Oh, two.
2:12:36
Speaker 29: They're coming back home with Max Reed, Garrett Cole, Carlos Rodan.
2:12:41
Speaker 29: Two of those three will be taking a start in
2:12:43
Speaker 29: game three and game four.
2:12:45
Speaker 2: But you have confidence right now in Garrett Cole.
2:12:48
Speaker 4: I do.
2:12:48
Speaker 20: Eric Cole is terrific in game one for five innings.
2:12:50
Speaker 17: And by the way, he might not even start.
2:12:51
Speaker 29: You might have him in a reserve role or at
2:12:53
Speaker 29: least piggyback with Rodon. Boone said that Rodon is probably
2:12:56
Speaker 29: going to.
2:12:57
Speaker 20: Get one of the starts here in game three or
2:12:58
Speaker 20: game four.
2:12:59
Speaker 17: Freed, they may give him the extra rest.
2:13:00
Speaker 20: I don't know how they're going to line it up.
2:13:01
Speaker 20: But those three guys, Sid.
2:13:03
Speaker 29: Pitching at home in the Bronx, which you know... is
2:13:06
Speaker 29: going to be totally different atmosphere for the Rays. Even
2:13:08
Speaker 29: though the Rays have been very good, they've got to
2:13:10
Speaker 29: win a game in the Bronx. And then you have
2:13:13
Speaker 29: Cantrell looming in game five.
2:13:15
Speaker 20: So I don't see it that way.
2:13:17
Speaker 17: I think the Rays had to win game one.
2:13:18
Speaker 20: They did, barely.
2:13:20
Speaker 17: I think the Rays got to win this game as well.
2:13:22
Speaker 17: And even then, I'm still not.
2:13:23
Speaker 29: Writing off the Yankees because of the way that the
2:13:25
Speaker 29: pitching lines up and because they're coming home. Isn't the
2:13:27
Speaker 29: old adage like the series doesn't begin until the home
2:13:30
Speaker 29: team loses a game?
2:13:31
Speaker 20: I'm going to abide by that in this series with
2:13:33
Speaker 20: the Yankees.
2:13:33
Speaker 2: All right, but what about offensively? Again, the Rays can pitch,
2:13:36
Speaker 2: and the Yankees, you know, without judge, they've got their moments, obviously,
2:13:39
Speaker 2: but they did nothing in game one. Are you worried
2:13:42
Speaker 2: about the offense in this series moving forward?
2:13:45
Speaker 29: Yes, if they don't hit Freddie Peralta. I'm not worried yet.
2:13:48
Speaker 29: Rasmussen was as nasty as can be, but that's a
2:13:51
Speaker 29: legitimate ace shutting you down. Freddie Peralta, I don't care
2:13:54
Speaker 29: how much he's been with the Rays talking about they
2:13:55
Speaker 29: treat him like kings and he's figured it out. Of course,
2:13:58
Speaker 29: after he leaves the Mets, he's all of a sudden
2:14:00
Speaker 29: figured it out. If the Yankees don't mash Freddie Peralta tonight,
2:14:03
Speaker 29: then yes, I'll be concerned about their offense.
2:14:05
Speaker 20: So that will be telling from tonight.
2:14:07
Speaker 29: If they lose and the offense doesn't do anything, then
2:14:10
Speaker 29: I could start to see how fans would think that
2:14:11
Speaker 29: they're not going to send it back to Tampa for
2:14:13
Speaker 29: a game five. But I expect I don't think the
2:14:16
Speaker 29: Yankees are going to win tonight. I just don't think
2:14:17
Speaker 29: if they lose that the series is over.
2:14:20
Speaker 2: And are you looking forward to the beginning of the
2:14:22
Speaker 2: 2026 champion? Get ready for this, Sal Licata and my
2:14:26
Speaker 2: millions of listeners. Get ready for this. For the home
2:14:29
Speaker 2: opener for your reigning NBA world champion, New York Knicks.
2:14:35
Speaker 20: I can't wait. Are you going?
2:14:37
Speaker 2: Of course I'm going. I'm Sid.
2:14:39
Speaker 27: Are you nuts?
2:14:39
Speaker 18: I understand.
2:14:42
Speaker 2: Not only am I going, but there's a chance I'm
2:14:44
Speaker 2: going to punch Spike Lee right across the face. How
2:14:46
Speaker 2: about that? I may do that. I may drag that
2:14:50
Speaker 2: little bastard up and down the court for like 10 minutes.
2:14:53
Speaker 17: I didn't know you were still a Knicks fan because
2:14:55
Speaker 17: I thought that.
2:14:55
Speaker 20: The mayor is a big Knicks guy. No, he's not.
2:14:58
Speaker 2: No, he's been revealed and exposed. He's never been a
2:15:00
Speaker 2: Knicks fan. He's a liar.
2:15:01
Speaker 20: You mean he was there at the parade giving the
2:15:03
Speaker 20: big speech?
2:15:04
Speaker 2: Oh, you mean the speech that somebody else wrote for him?
2:15:06
Speaker 17: Well, I mean, isn't that what all politicians do?
2:15:08
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no. Not all. Not my guy, Trump.
2:15:10
Speaker 2: You get up there, you speak. But the thing is,
2:15:12
Speaker 2: he knows nothing about the Knicks. You know who can't
2:15:14
Speaker 2: stand Mom Donnie as much as I can? Jim Dolan.
2:15:16
Speaker 2: Because he knows he's a liar. He's not a real
2:15:18
Speaker 2: Knick fan. You think he knows who Edmund Sherrod is
2:15:21
Speaker 2: or Rory Sparrow or even Bill Cartwright? He's got no idea.
2:15:25
Speaker 2: He's a lying piece of garbage. So, yes, I'm still
2:15:28
Speaker 2: a diehard Knick fan, even though the lying, thieving, anti-Semite
2:15:32
Speaker 2: mayor claims that he is.
2:15:33
Speaker 29: Well, and this will be the first time, certainly in
2:15:35
Speaker 29: my lifetime, and I'm pretty sure yours as well, or
2:15:37
Speaker 29: at least as a functioning adult, that we get to
2:15:40
Speaker 29: sit back and enjoy a season watching our champions. Like,
2:15:44
Speaker 29: for me, there's no pressure. I don't expect them to
2:15:47
Speaker 29: win again.
2:15:47
Speaker 20: I'd love to see it.
2:15:48
Speaker 17: But I just want to.
2:15:49
Speaker 29: Celebrate and enjoy each night watching this group of guys
2:15:52
Speaker 29: who delivered New York the championship for the first time
2:15:54
Speaker 29: in 53 years. I can't wait for the next season
2:15:56
Speaker 29: to get underway.
2:15:57
Speaker 2: Me too. LeBron James will be here that opening night
2:15:59
Speaker 2: in those tough Philadelphia 76ers. I was six years old.
2:16:02
Speaker 2: The last time the Knicks won a championship before this
2:16:05
Speaker 2: magnificent postseason last year. As always, Sal Licata, you're great.
