  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. I can't believe
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: he didn't make it years ago. Today, Sid forever joins
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: a roll call of some of the greatest legends in
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: the history of New York broadcasting and talk radio. the
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: best in the business, and he's the best in the business.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: Over many years, Sid has distinguished himself as one of
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: the most authentic and recognizable voices in American airwaves. And
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: he's built a smart, loyal, gigantic audience. And I happen
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: to be one of those people in the audience. And
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: I had for a long time, long before I became president.
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: We're just three weeks until the election. The candidates for
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: New York governor squaring off in a combative debate. Democratic
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: Governor Kathy Hochul and her Republican opponent, Nassau County Executive
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: Bruce Blakeman, pulling no punches. The big issue, affordability, immigration
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: and President Trump. Iowa News reporter Sonia Rincon with what
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: the candidates are saying as we come down to the wire.
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: Sonia.
• 1:13
  Speaker 7: Now, Sade, no question, Donald Trump dominated this debate with
• 1:16
  Speaker 7: both immigration and affordability directly linked to the president, who
• 1:20
  Speaker 7: is unpopular in New York heading into the midterms. Governor
• 1:23
  Speaker 7: Kathy Hochul and her Republican challenger, Bruce Blakeman, were respectful,
• 1:27
  Speaker 7: but showed their clear differences on ICE right out of
• 1:30
  Speaker 7: the gate, with Blakeman saying things went well when he
• 1:34
  Speaker 7: was allowed to cooperate with ICE in Nassau County.
• 1:37
  Speaker 8: We got over it.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: 2,000 illegal migrants out of my county with criminal records
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: ranging from rape, attempted murder, robbery, burglary, drug dealing, carjacking,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: gang activity. And that's because we cooperated with ICE. And
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: we didn't raid one school, one hospital, one daycare center,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: or one church.
• 1:57
  Speaker 7: But the question was about the shooting last week in
• 2:00
  Speaker 7: Marble Hill, whether they agreed with ICE agents' handling of
• 2:04
  Speaker 7: the incident. Blakeman didn't say, but Hochul said she didn't
• 2:07
  Speaker 7: because they fired into the windshield with a child in
• 2:10
  Speaker 7: the car, something she says no other law enforcement agency
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: in New York would do.
• 2:15
  Speaker 9: That's not how you conduct yourself. ICE is out of control.
• 2:18
  Speaker 9: It's out of control in Nassau County.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: It never would have happened but for your sanctuary policy.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: You actually invite people into our state, give them free everything,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: and you don't care whether they're criminals or not. That's
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: a bad policy.
• 2:33
  Speaker 10: This is so absurd.
• 2:36
  Speaker 9: I have said from the president on down, I said
• 2:38
  Speaker 9: New York is not a sanctuary for criminals, not a
• 2:41
  Speaker 9: sanctuary for criminals.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Full stop.
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: The governor adding that undocumented violent criminals should be removed.
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: Another major issue, affordability.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: We're overtaxed. Our utility bills are too high. We're overregulated.
• 2:54
  Speaker 7: The governor blaming President Trump for standing in the way
• 2:57
  Speaker 7: of her energy projects and for high gas prices.
• 3:00
  Speaker 9: You know what dries up energy prices in addition to
• 3:02
  Speaker 9: Donald Trump's war that you support? His vision for energy
• 3:08
  Speaker 9: across the state of New York.
• 3:09
  Speaker 11: Now, get this.
• 3:10
  Speaker 9: He supports the hyperscale data centers that consume enormous amounts
• 3:14
  Speaker 9: of energy.
• 3:14
  Speaker 8: Hey, hey, hold on!
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: Data centers had protesters outside the debate fired up, saying
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: the governor's moratorium doesn't go far enough. Mayor Zoran Mamdani
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: didn't come up until more than 40 minutes into the
• 3:29
  Speaker 7: hour-long debate. But President Donald Trump did, repeatedly, as Hochul
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: pointed to Blakeman's frequent praise for the president. When the
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: candidates got a chance to ask each other questions, she
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: asked if he really did think Trump was the best
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: president in his lifetime.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: In retrospect, I would say that Dwight D. Eisenhower was
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the greatest president. But Donald Trump has two more years,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: so let's see where it goes. Term's not over.
• 3:51
  Speaker 9: Heaven help us.
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: At one point, Blakeman actually looked to differentiate himself from
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: Donald Trump. Blakeman saying that he is pro-choice and supports
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: a guest worker program for law-abiding undocumented residents. And while
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: public safety was a major issue in Hochul's last campaign
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: four years ago, she pointed to declining crime numbers statewide
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: under her watch. A Marist poll released just last week
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: showed Hochul leading Blakeman by 11 points.
• 4:18
  Speaker 12: The first thing that I want to do is thank
• 4:19
  Speaker 12: God I have a second.
• 4:21
  Speaker 8: Chance at life.
• 4:22
  Speaker 13: NYPD detective Jose Mercedes speaking out publicly for the first
• 4:26
  Speaker 13: time since he was attacked in the Bronx.
• 4:29
  Speaker 12: I'm going to be forever grateful to those people that
• 4:33
  Speaker 12: saved my life.
• 4:36
  Speaker 13: The NYPD says the detective was off duty when he
• 4:38
  Speaker 13: was stabbed multiple times during an attempted robbery.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: They didn't know at first. He told them over and over,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I'm a police officer, I'm a New York City detective,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: and he continued to get stabbed.
• 4:52
  Speaker 13: Standing surrounded by NYPD colleagues at the Detectives Endowment Association
• 4:56
  Speaker 13: headquarters in Manhattan, Mercedes expressing gratitude.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I want to thank.
• 5:01
  Speaker 12: So many, so many people, my union, the greatest detectives
• 5:08
  Speaker 12: in the world.
• 5:09
  Speaker 13: And recounting some of what happened in a news conference.
• 5:12
  Speaker 12: If we go back to that day, I want to
• 5:15
  Speaker 12: thank that person that I asked for help. And I
• 5:20
  Speaker 12: haven't spoke to him since. But I want to thank
• 5:22
  Speaker 12: that person that called 911 on my behalf. when I
• 5:28
  Speaker 12: thought I was going to die.
• 5:29
  Speaker 13: It was October 2nd in broad daylight near East 206th
• 5:32
  Speaker 13: Street and Rochambeau Avenue in the Norwood section of the Bronx.
• 5:37
  Speaker 13: Police said after the attempted robbery and stabbing, the detective
• 5:40
  Speaker 13: even chased those who did it. He eventually got help
• 5:43
  Speaker 13: and was rushed to a hospital.
• 5:45
  Speaker 12: I want to thank the five to NYPD officers that
• 5:51
  Speaker 12: responded and just gave me my aid and helped me
• 5:56
  Speaker 12: in this difficult time that I was going through where.
• 6:00
  Speaker 8: I almost died.
• 6:01
  Speaker 14: Meanwhile, Mayor Mondani is calling for ICE to get out
• 6:04
  Speaker 14: of New York City. The mayor has also ordered a
• 6:07
  Speaker 14: review of what happened in the hours before that ICE
• 6:10
  Speaker 14: shooting last Thursday and of NYPD actions after the shooting.
• 6:15
  Speaker 14: Eyewitness News reporter N.J. Burkett continues our coverage.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: He's live at City Hall.
• 6:19
  Speaker 10: N.J.
• 6:22
  Speaker 15: And right, Sandra, in spite of all of that, you've
• 6:24
  Speaker 15: got some critics on the left demanding that the mayor
• 6:26
  Speaker 15: fire the city's police commissioner.
• 6:28
  Speaker 8: But no, he's not doing that.
• 6:30
  Speaker 15: Instead, he's backing the commissioner over the demands of many
• 6:34
  Speaker 15: of his own supporters.
• 6:36
  Speaker 16: Mr.
• 6:36
  Speaker 13: Mayor, thank you for joining us as we honor these
• 6:39
  Speaker 13: members of the NYPD and stand with their families.
• 6:43
  Speaker 15: For Mayor Mamdani, as much as anyone, it was a
• 6:46
  Speaker 15: stark reminder of the dangers faced by the men and
• 6:49
  Speaker 15: women of the NYPD. The department added 42 names to
• 6:55
  Speaker 15: the memorial wall in.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Battery Park City.
• 6:59
  Speaker 15: Once a sharp critic of the police, as mayor, Mamdani
• 7:02
  Speaker 15: appears to have moderated. Some of his own supporters now
• 7:06
  Speaker 15: say his reforms don't go far enough, and he's resisting
• 7:09
  Speaker 15: pressure to fire Commissioner Jessica Tisch.
• 7:12
  Speaker 16: Jessica Tisch is the police commissioner. I have no plans
• 7:15
  Speaker 16: to change that. The reason that I made the decision
• 7:18
  Speaker 16: to have Jessica Tisch as the police commissioner is was
• 7:21
  Speaker 16: because of her record of uprooting corruption from the upper
• 7:23
  Speaker 16: echelons of the NYPD while lowering crime across our city.
• 7:26
  Speaker 15: The Democratic Socialists of America claim that Commissioner Tisch is
• 7:30
  Speaker 15: facilitating ICE enforcement in New York, an allegation she and
• 7:35
  Speaker 15: the mayor have adamantly denied. And they insist that agents
• 7:41
  Speaker 15: involved in last week's ICE shooting were able to leave
• 7:44
  Speaker 15: the hospital with Oscar Belgao because officers with the Strategic
• 7:48
  Speaker 15: Response Group cleared protesters from the street.
• 7:51
  Speaker 14: Right now, the NYPD is not out here to make
• 7:54
  Speaker 14: us feel safe at protests.
• 7:56
  Speaker 15: Mayor Mamdani has vowed to dismantle the unit and to
• 8:00
  Speaker 15: shift the focus to counterterrorism. The NYPD will review the
• 8:05
  Speaker 15: response to the hospital protests as well as its use
• 8:08
  Speaker 15: of force guidelines.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: Let go of him and back up!
• 8:13
  Speaker 15: Asked about that, the president of the city's detectives union
• 8:16
  Speaker 15: insisted that the mayor should be focused on the Civilian
• 8:19
  Speaker 15: Complaint Review Board.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: The mayor needs to worry about the people that work
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: at CCRB, know how to investigate, to do their jobs,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: because they're anti-police.
• 8:29
  Speaker 8: That's the problem.
• 8:30
  Speaker 15: And I asked Scott Monroe today whether he believes that
• 8:32
  Speaker 15: the mayor supports the NYPD. His answer, I believe the
• 8:36
  Speaker 15: mayor supports the police commissioner.
• 8:39
  Speaker 17: This information coming from the Vatican that tests done on
• 8:41
  Speaker 17: the nodule that was removed did in fact turn out
• 8:44
  Speaker 17: to be cancerous. Now, the Vatican says that Pope Leo
• 8:46
  Speaker 17: is recovering after undergoing successful lung surgery. On Sunday, he
• 8:51
  Speaker 17: announced that doctors had found a small, localized nodule on
• 8:55
  Speaker 17: his lung. Vatican officials say that the operation was completed
• 8:58
  Speaker 17: successfully and is planned. However, doctors have determined that the
• 9:02
  Speaker 17: 71-year-old head of the Catholic Church said does in fact
• 9:05
  Speaker 17: have lung cancer and that the lower lobe of his
• 9:07
  Speaker 17: right lung was removed during today's operation. The nodule was
• 9:11
  Speaker 17: detected and removed early, to which doctors say Pope Leo's
• 9:15
  Speaker 17: prognosis in fact looks very, very good. Now, since the
• 9:18
  Speaker 17: announcement of the surgery over the weekend, the Vatican has
• 9:21
  Speaker 17: maintained that it would require a week-long hospital stay for
• 9:25
  Speaker 17: the pontiff. Vatican officials have canceled all of Pope Leo's audiences.
• 9:29
  Speaker 17: until October 20th. He does have a scheduled trip to
• 9:32
  Speaker 17: South America next month, which right now appears to still
• 9:36
  Speaker 17: be on.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Good evening, Governor, and thank you to everybody out there
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: that's watching this debate. It gives me an opportunity to
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: speak directly to you and your families about issues that
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: are important here in New York State that affect you
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: each and every day. As I travel across the state,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: and it's a beautiful state, Everywhere I go, people are
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: telling me how they're struggling. struggling to pay their bills,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: and they're worried about safety in their communities. Under Governor Hochul,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: we are the highest taxed state in America. Our utility
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: bills are 70% higher than the national average, and because
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: of policies like cashless bail, people feel unsafe in their
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: own communities. As governor, I will cut taxes, I will
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: cut your utility bills in half, and I will create
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: safer communities just like I did in my own county
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: in Nassau County. And let me say this. Kathy Hochul
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: has spent $ 8 billion of your money on illegal migrants
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: for free food, free housing, free transportation, and a free
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: cell phone. That's your money that she spent on people
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: who aren't New Yorkers. I believe she's got her priorities
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: upside down. So I'm going to ask you to vote
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: for change. What have you got to lose? And vote
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: for a better New York. And vote for Blakeman for governor.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: Bruce Blakeman and that repulsive hag who is the current
• 11:05
  Speaker 8: governor of New York, that lying, thieving, goddish, she's so grotesque,
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: even look at Kathy Hochul. This was... Quite a debate
• 11:16
  Speaker 8: last night. You know, I'll start with this. Because I'm very,
• 11:20
  Speaker 8: very tough on Errol Lewis. I often refer to the
• 11:24
  Speaker 8: New York One personality as a fat, stupid, black racist.
• 11:30
  Speaker 8: I'm off to a great start already, folks. Not even
• 11:32
  Speaker 8: a minute in. But last night, I actually think Errol
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: Lewis was fair. I was surprised to see Errol Lewis
• 11:41
  Speaker 8: and the lady that worked with him. I think her
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: name is Susan Orbiter. The two of them at times
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: last night were actually much tougher on Hochul than they
• 11:52
  Speaker 8: were Blakeman. See, I thought in the Saritha Letitia James
• 11:57
  Speaker 8: debate that the Errol Lewis and his cohorts were much
• 12:03
  Speaker 8: tougher on the Republican candidate. But last night, I actually
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: thought that Errol and Susan were kind of fair. So
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: let's start right there before we get to the meat.
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: of the debate, the actual topics, that Trump mentions all
• 12:19
  Speaker 8: that nonsense. Do you agree, Noam, that Errol and Susan
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: were actually kind of fair?
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd even take it a step further.
• 12:27
  Speaker 18: I thought they did a pretty good job of getting
• 12:29
  Speaker 18: the debate and getting all the questions and keeping it moving.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: So you got to a lot of issues.
• 12:33
  Speaker 8: Right, because there are times, of course, in all these
• 12:35
  Speaker 8: debates where they want to go back and forth. Let
• 12:37
  Speaker 8: me answer that. Let me answer that. And Bruce and
• 12:40
  Speaker 8: Kathy did that a couple of times. But you're right,
• 12:42
  Speaker 8: like a good police guard, they're able to move the
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: thing and keep it going. And again, I thought they
• 12:47
  Speaker 8: were unbiased, which is hard for me to say, even
• 12:50
  Speaker 8: hard to believe, but I thought that was the case.
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: And then here comes the debate last night, Kathy Hochul
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: and Bruce Blakeman. So yesterday on this program, I had
• 13:01
  Speaker 8: Bob Holden on. Bob was a former, is a former
• 13:05
  Speaker 8: city council member, and he's a Democrat. Democrat, former city
• 13:11
  Speaker 8: council member, very smart guy. Many people think he's the best,
• 13:16
  Speaker 8: city council member we've had in a very, very long time.
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: And he came on yesterday, and of course, he's one
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: of three very high-profile Democrats that over the last couple
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: of weeks have jumped on the Bruce Blakeman train. The
• 13:31
  Speaker 8: other two being Bonnie Lautenberg, the widow of the former
• 13:35
  Speaker 8: great politician, Democrat Frank Lautenberg, and of course, the very
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: high-profile famous actress, Deborah Messing. So Holden comes on yesterday,
• 13:46
  Speaker 8: and so did the former governor. The last time he
• 13:49
  Speaker 8: had a good governor, he was actually a great governor. And,
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: of course, he was Republican, George Pataki. So both of
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: those guys were on right after each other on yesterday's show.
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: And we all agreed that there was no doubt that
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: in the debate, which was coming, hadn't happened yet, that
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: Kathy Hochul, time and time again, would mention President Trump.
• 14:15
  Speaker 8: I said yesterday on the show, when Blakeman hits Hochul
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: with a Mike Tyson right, and she can't come back
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: because she's wobbly up against the ropes, instead of coming
• 14:27
  Speaker 8: back with a hook, she's going to mention President Trump.
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: So we talked about that yesterday. Everybody knew it, right?
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: Not exactly a shock. I was floored. shocked on how
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: many times this idiot actually mentioned President Trump last night.
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: I knew she would do it. I thought maybe five times,
• 14:51
  Speaker 8: maybe seven times. AI said this morning over a dozen.
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: That's not even close. I will guarantee you, if you
• 14:59
  Speaker 8: go back, it was a 58-minute debate, and you count
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: the amount of times Kathy Hochul said, Trump, it's probably
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: close to 50. So I know that a lot of
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: New Yorkers hate Trump.
• 15:13
  Speaker 19: You're all morons.
• 15:15
  Speaker 8: That's fine. You're entitled, okay? But how can anybody with
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: hamper brain, hamper brain, think that deflecting all of the
• 15:26
  Speaker 8: issues in New York and not trying to defend all
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: of her failures by mentioning President Trump was a good
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: way to go about this last night? She had to
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: mention President Trump, Noam, 50 times.
• 15:40
  Speaker 18: Well, clearly they thought it was a winning strategy going in.
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: Who was they? Her people. No, no, no. Here's what happened, okay?
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: She did not prepare. Not even a little. I thought
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: she was really unprepared when she took on Lee Zeldin
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: years ago. And I thought Lee Zeldin beat her pretty easily.
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: She was less prepared last night. There was no strategy.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Well, I thought it was worse than that.
• 16:05
  Speaker 18: I was watching this debate and There were those moments
• 16:09
  Speaker 18: where the answers took a long time to come out
• 16:11
  Speaker 18: or there'd be these incredibly long pauses. And it reminded
• 16:15
  Speaker 18: me of the Biden-Trump debate where you were like, what
• 16:18
  Speaker 18: is going on? It wasn't as bad, but she had
• 16:22
  Speaker 18: some pretty intense moments where you're like, wait a minute,
• 16:25
  Speaker 18: is something going on here?
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: You know, I said the same thing last night. Norm,
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: I'm right with you on this one. I think that
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: performance last night by Hochul, the only worst performance I've seen,
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: to your point, you just said it, was Biden. And
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: there were a couple of moments last night where I
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: thought she was actually stroking out. I really did. She was, like, confused.
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: Like you said, these very, very long pauses. She was
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: kind of muttering and stuttering. I mean, just based on
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: that alone. Let's put the content aside, okay? Because if
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: you hate Trump, you thought she was great. You're a moron.
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: But you thought she was great. Let's talk about just
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: the way she delivered her answers last night. To your point, Noam,
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: only Biden was worse. Now, the Joe Biden debate killed
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: him to the point where he actually had to leave
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: the race. Now, Hochul's not leaving the race, and she's
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: still the favorite to win today, about three weeks out.
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: But I do think that last night hurts her. Does
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: it hurt her enough where Bruce wins? I don't know that.
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: I don't know. But if you and I are both
• 17:29
  Speaker 8: in agreement, that the only performance we saw that was
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: worse than Kathy Hochul last night was Joe Biden, then
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: that was a pretty calamitous effort by the incumbent governor
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: last night.
• 17:43
  Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean, I think some of it was she
• 17:44
  Speaker 18: had clearly memorized lines, right? She wanted to get these
• 17:48
  Speaker 18: lines out, and they weren't coming, you know? They just
• 17:51
  Speaker 18: weren't coming. And so she hesitated, and then she'd be like, oh,
• 17:54
  Speaker 18: and you could see almost the brain working, like, oh, right,
• 17:56
  Speaker 18: this is the line I'm supposed to follow up with.
• 17:59
  Speaker 18: But then there were other times where it was completely
• 18:01
  Speaker 18: like she had lost her place.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: She didn't know what was going on.
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: Like you did just now a little bit. You almost
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: choked out just now.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: I noticed.
• 18:07
  Speaker 18: Well, so she's 68 and he's 71.
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: Well, he seems a heck of a lot younger than
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: she does. And I don't want to talk about physical
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: appearances because that's very shallow. But, man, is she tough
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: to look at. Those big white teeth. And, well, she's
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: just not good looking. You know what I mean? And
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: for some reason that matters to me. I don't know why.
• 18:28
  Speaker 8: If she was an amazing politician, I guess I wouldn't care.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: What if she was hot and you hated her?
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: No, that's no good. That's no good. Come on. Come on.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: What would you be saying this morning?
• 18:39
  Speaker 8: I'd say she's hot, but she's a moron.
• 18:41
  Speaker 19: Right.
• 18:41
  Speaker 8: But this lady is physically repulsive and stupid and has
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: done a horrendous job as governor. You know, the whole
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: thing with this Oscar Belgal, I am so sick and
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: tired of Of this story, I'm actually really happy that
• 18:56
  Speaker 8: Mark Wayne Mullen is coming on the program at 940 today.
• 19:00
  Speaker 8: He is, of course, Homeland Security chief. Took over for
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: Kristi Noem. He's great. Really great. Oklahoma guy, you know.
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: And he talks about it the way I talk about it.
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: This is not about a five-year-old almost getting shot. And
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: that was basically what she talked about last night. Well,
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: there's a five-year-old. We know that, okay? And there's going
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: to be an investigation. But when you start to move
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: your car towards another car that is law enforcement, these
• 19:35
  Speaker 8: cops are taught that is deadly force. If Oscar Belgao
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: just sat there, when you comply, you don't die. If
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: he just sat there and let them arrest him, The show.
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: shooting never would have happened. And even though the shooting
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: did happen, Oscar Belgao survived and he's a scumbag and
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: the kid wasn't hit. But nobody last night in Hochul's camp, Kathy,
• 20:02
  Speaker 8: I'm talking about, wanted to talk about what a bad
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: guy this is. I made a The reference yesterday, I
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: pointed out that it's very similar to George Floyd. And
• 20:13
  Speaker 8: I'll do it again right now. George Floyd was a lowlife.
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: He was arrested nine times. He put a gun in
• 20:22
  Speaker 8: a pregnant woman's stomach. Hardly the guy you build statues for.
• 20:27
  Speaker 8: Hardly the guy you paint murals for. Now, I know
• 20:31
  Speaker 8: he was murdered. I think he was. Some of these
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: MAGA people go, no, it was the drugs. No, it wasn't.
• 20:37
  Speaker 8: But either way, whether you think he was murdered or not,
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: the point is he was a bad guy. Same thing
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: with Oscar Belgao and Kathy Hochul and all these Democrats
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: who coddle criminals. They don't want to talk about him.
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: They just want to talk about ICE. Well, he's not dead.
• 20:57
  Speaker 8: The kid didn't get shot. But you know what? He
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: still has a lengthy rap sheet. He still has gang ties.
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: He's a drug dealer, a guy that's been arrested for
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: some pretty serious offenses. And for some reason, they don't
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: want to talk about that. That doesn't matter. And then
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: the mayor, that piece of garbage goes out of his way,
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: makes phone calls to both President Trump and Mark Wayne Mullen,
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: who again will join me today to get this guy released.
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: I mean, even if you think ICE was guilty, why
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: would you want a gang-banging criminal back on the streets
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: here in New York? And at no point last night
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: did Kathy Hochul address Oscar Belgao and his history. Why not, Mom?
• 21:43
  Speaker 18: Well, the only thing you wanted to talk about was
• 21:45
  Speaker 18: the actual moment, you know, where this five-year-old was in
• 21:48
  Speaker 18: the backseat of the car.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: She was going to dismiss the thing outright.
• 21:52
  Speaker 20: That's it.
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: And she was really critical of Bruce. Well, so you
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: don't care. He didn't say that. She lied all night long. Well,
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: you don't care about the five-year-old. He never said that. Well,
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: you want to slash Medicaid in half. He never said that.
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: Then she accused him of hanging out with white supremacists.
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: Did you hear that?
• 22:11
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: And I'm thinking to myself, she must think I'm a
• 22:14
  Speaker 8: white supremacist. I just saw this dopey lady in a
• 22:18
  Speaker 8: diner two Saturdays ago at 730 in the morning. And
• 22:22
  Speaker 8: her people went nuts on me on Twitter at Sid Rosenberg,
• 22:26
  Speaker 8: 19 at Sid Rosenberg, 19, because they took a picture.
• 22:30
  Speaker 8: of her and her dopey husband having breakfast at John's
• 22:33
  Speaker 8: Coffee Shop on 44th and 2nd at 7.30 in the morning,
• 22:38
  Speaker 8: all I said was, wow, what are the odds there's
• 22:41
  Speaker 8: only three people on a Saturday morning in a New
• 22:45
  Speaker 8: York City diner and two of them are Hochul and Rosenberg?
• 22:49
  Speaker 8: That was it. I didn't even kill them. I may
• 22:52
  Speaker 8: have called them the worst governor in America.
• 22:53
  Speaker 20: I don't know.
• 22:54
  Speaker 8: But they start going nuts on me on Twitter. But
• 22:57
  Speaker 8: this lady, she just doesn't care. She's got three talking points,
• 23:03
  Speaker 8: literally three, okay? ICE is bad. I spent billions of
• 23:09
  Speaker 8: dollars to improve our law and order in our state
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: and Trump. That's it.
• 23:15
  Speaker 10: That's it.
• 23:16
  Speaker 8: That's it. I mean, we got... Utility bill issues. We've
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: got energy issues. We still have crime issues. Don't kid yourself.
• 23:26
  Speaker 8: We've got major tax issues. What I said last night,
• 23:30
  Speaker 8: and here's where I'm Bruce Blakeman. I would have really
• 23:33
  Speaker 8: driven this home a little more. He said it once.
• 23:36
  Speaker 8: I would have said it five times. I would have
• 23:38
  Speaker 8: said it at the very top. Hey, Kathy. Hey, Kathy, baby.
• 23:43
  Speaker 8: If you are doing such a great job, As governor
• 23:46
  Speaker 8: of this state, because she said we've got the fastest
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: growing economy in the country.
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: Lie.
• 23:53
  Speaker 8: I mean, she lied all night. I would have said, hey, Kathy,
• 23:56
  Speaker 8: if you're doing such a good job as governor of
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: our state, why do we lead the country? We're not third.
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: We're not fifth. We're not ninth. Why do we lead
• 24:08
  Speaker 8: the country in out migration? People are leaving this state
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: like it's on fire. So how could that how could
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: it be both? How could you be doing a great job?
• 24:20
  Speaker 8: And yet people are running out of this state more
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: than any other state in our union. I would have
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: driven that home all night long.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: But he didn't do that.
• 24:30
  Speaker 8: He did it once. But isn't that a fair question?
• 24:34
  Speaker 8: If you're doing so great, why is everybody leaving?
• 24:37
  Speaker 21: She wouldn't have answered it anyway.
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: Well, she would have said, good, those people, we want
• 24:41
  Speaker 8: them to leave anyway. Well, she did say that. She said, hey,
• 24:44
  Speaker 8: Lee Zeldin, get on a plane. Oh, right. Sid Rosenberg,
• 24:48
  Speaker 8: get on a plane, you Islamophobe. I don't know what
• 24:51
  Speaker 8: she did well last night, I guess. Did she do
• 24:53
  Speaker 8: anything well last night?
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: She tried to tag him with the whole Trump thing.
• 24:58
  Speaker 18: And there were a couple moments where she was successful
• 25:00
  Speaker 18: at that, if that's what.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Her aim was.
• 25:02
  Speaker 8: No, no, she wasn't. In fact.
• 25:03
  Speaker 18: When she asked him about, is he the greatest president
• 25:05
  Speaker 18: of all time?
• 25:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but that didn't help her.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: And he backed down.
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: Right, that didn't help her. He actually said no.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but he kind of fumbled it.
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: He may have fumbled it, but it didn't help her.
• 25:13
  Speaker 8: In other words, if she would have said... do you
• 25:16
  Speaker 8: think this guy who was killing New York is the
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: greatest president ever? And he would have said, yes, I
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: would have liked that. Trump would have liked that. Then
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: back it up. He went the other way. He said, no,
• 25:27
  Speaker 8: I think Dwight D. Eisenhower was the best president ever.
• 25:29
  Speaker 18: No, but there was an earlier one where you said,
• 25:31
  Speaker 18: you know, that was just a rally. I was trying
• 25:33
  Speaker 18: to get the crowd excited.
• 25:35
  Speaker 8: Right, right.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the one he.
• 25:36
  Speaker 8: Kind of fumbled. Well, here's one of them. I'm not
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: sure which one this is, Lewis. Gubernatorial debate. Hochul asked
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: Blakeman if Trump is the best president ever. Something tells
• 25:46
  Speaker 8: me this will be the Eisenhower response. But I wonder
• 25:49
  Speaker 8: if Trump is upset with Blakeman this morning because those
• 25:52
  Speaker 8: guys are like brothers. As close as I am with
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: President Trump, and I'm close, okay? Pretty close. Blakeman and
• 25:59
  Speaker 8: Trump are much closer. I mean, much closer. So here
• 26:04
  Speaker 8: was my man Bruce's response to that Hochul question, Lewis.
• 26:09
  Speaker 8: Cut number seven.
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: And now, Ms.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Hochul, you have a question for Bruce Blakeman.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Yes, I do.
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: Yes, I do.
• 26:17
  Speaker 9: Just four days ago, you stood on a stage screaming
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: at the top of your lungs, we love Donald Trump.
• 26:24
  Speaker 9: You've also said he's the greatest president of your lifetime. Now,
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: which is it that makes him so great? Is it
• 26:30
  Speaker 9: the high utility costs, the high grocery costs, the high
• 26:34
  Speaker 9: gas costs? Is it his unfettered use of ice terrorizing
• 26:38
  Speaker 9: our neighborhoods? Is it his throwing millions of New Yorkers
• 26:41
  Speaker 9: off of health care? Which is it that makes him
• 26:44
  Speaker 9: the greatest president, in your opinion, which you have said
• 26:47
  Speaker 9: so many times?
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, at a rally, as you know, it's a
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: cheering section, and you say things to get the crowd
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: worked up. And I think Donald Trump deserves accolades for
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: many of the things that he's done. Obviously, there are
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: some disagreements in New York State with some of his policies.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: But I've differed with Donald Trump on various policies. As
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: I said, he's pro-life. I'm pro-choice. That's a big difference
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: in the Republican Party. I stood up for what I
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: believed in. Immigration policy. I believe that if you are
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: an immigrant and you've been in this state seven, eight, nine,
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: ten years, you haven't gotten in trouble, you're gainfully employed,
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: we should have a guest worker permit for you. I
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: believe in a guest worker permit program. But, you know,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: there's two years left in Donald Trump's presidency. tenure in office,
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: and I hope to see great things like stopping Iran
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: from getting a nuclear weapon that threatens New York and
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: all New Yorkers. And I also look forward to the
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: fact that hopefully we will get gas prices down. But
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: you created the economic issues that have made us last
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: in economic outlook, Kathy Hochul, not Donald Trump.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, Ken.
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: All right. Take it easy, Brucey boy. Don't get nuts.
• 28:10
  Speaker 8: All right. Let's go to the Mamdani cut. It did
• 28:13
  Speaker 8: take over 40 minutes in this one-hour debate to get
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: a Mamdani mention. And Brucie, my man, wasn't going to
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: let it go so easily. He didn't hammer her on Mamdani.
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: You know, those two things he could have hammered her on?
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: It's easy for me to say. Of course, I'm sitting
• 28:30
  Speaker 8: in my living room in Bell Harbor. But was A,
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: like I just mentioned, we lead the nation in out-migration.
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: And B, you keep bringing up Trump. And he did
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: do this. In the meantime, you're close with a radical
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: Islam terrorist jihadist mayor who hates the Jews, hates the Italians,
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: hates the Irish, hates the Germans, hates the rich, hates
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: everything good about our country. You keep bringing up Trump.
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: What about you and your boy Mamdani, that anti-Semite bitch?
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: This is our cut number eight, Lewis Gadd.
• 29:05
  Speaker 19: Mr.
• 29:06
  Speaker 22: Blakeman, audio obtained by the New York Times shows you, Mr. Blakeman,
• 29:09
  Speaker 22: told attendees at a Hasidic event that, quote, if there
• 29:13
  Speaker 22: is rioting here, if they're burning down yeshivas in your
• 29:16
  Speaker 22: shuls and burning down your house and raping your women,
• 29:20
  Speaker 22: you think Zoran Mamdani is.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Going to stop them?
• 29:23
  Speaker 22: First of all, who exactly were you referring to, the they?
• 29:27
  Speaker 22: And do you stand by those remarks?
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: I do.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: So first of all, they are the professional protesters that
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: took over Columbia University, that blocked our bridges and our
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: roadways with the lawlessness that took place. while Kathy Hochul
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: wouldn't protect Jewish students at Columbia University, Jews who are
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: being attacked all around our state. Zoran Mandami is an anti-Semite.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: The first thing he did as mayor, with all the
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: issues that face New York City, the first thing he did...
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: was signed an executive order to water down the definition
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: of anti-Semitism. Shame on you, Mayor. You are campaigning around
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: the state with a guy who doesn't believe in American values.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: He talks about collectivism. That means you take personal property
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: rights away. You take other people's property rights. This is
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: a guy that's anti-Christian. Couldn't find an hour out of
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: his day to... installation of a new archbishop here in
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: New York City, the biggest religion in the city of
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: New York. Look, if you want to campaign with him,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: that's fine. But I will tell you right now, I
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: think Zoram Andami is an anti-Semite. I believe he's anti-Christian,
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: and I don't think he has American values.
• 30:38
  Speaker 9: I'm actually going to answer your question, since you asked
• 30:41
  Speaker 9: about the conversation he had at a secret meeting, where
• 30:45
  Speaker 9: he basically said... That NYPD under the leadership of Jessica Tisch.
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: Is a lie.
• 30:50
  Speaker 10: Listen.
• 30:51
  Speaker 9: Would not respond to this neighborhood.
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: You never said that.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: If there were women being raped.
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: Never said that.
• 30:55
  Speaker 9: People being murdered.
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: Never said that.
• 30:57
  Speaker 9: And riots in the streets. He didn't say he would
• 30:59
  Speaker 9: not trust them to show up.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: I stand with.
• 31:01
  Speaker 9: The men and women in blue every day of the week.
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: Shut up.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: I know how hard they work.
• 31:05
  Speaker 9: They put their lives on the line.
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: They hate you.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: And I support the leadership of Jessica Tisch.
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: They hate you.
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: But for you to.
• 31:09
  Speaker 9: Say that they would stand down is just insulting all
• 31:12
  Speaker 9: those men and women.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: First of all, let's put it, let's call it the
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: way it is. I'm talking about political leaders getting involved
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: in law enforcement when they shouldn't be.
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: That's right.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Like what happened under David Dinkins when he waited three
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: days before he stopped the rioting in Crown Heights.
• 31:29
  Speaker 8: Correct.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: A lot of confidence in Jessica Tish. As a matter
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: of fact, if there's a compliment I could give to
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Zoran Mondami, it's in keeping her as the police commissioner.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: But let's be clear.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Let's move on.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Anti-Semitism is on the rise and it's occurred under your watch.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: And Zoran Mondami is fueling it.
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: That's a very good answer right there. She lied again.
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: All right. You know, they went back and forth on ICE.
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: They went back and forth on sanctuary city policies. He
• 31:59
  Speaker 8: talked about all the successes in Nassau County. You know
• 32:02
  Speaker 8: what she did? She goes, you're unbelievable. She goes, you're
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: actually taking credit. Now, again, this guy's been the Nassau
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: County executive for years. He's won twice. She goes, you're
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: actually taking credit for all the work the person did
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: before you. Did you see that part? No, I did.
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: She went out of her way to actually. give Laura Curran.
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: I like Laura a lot. She was on this station.
• 32:26
  Speaker 8: And initially, I was not going to campaign for Bruce,
• 32:30
  Speaker 8: even though Laura was a Democrat, because I liked her.
• 32:33
  Speaker 8: Bernie kind of liked her, too. But eventually, they convinced
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: me to campaign for Bruce Blakeman and Ann Donnelly, who
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: happens to be the DA in Nassau County, and both admit, both,
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: that they would not have won if not for me.
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: And I like Laura. But to go back and mention
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: Laura Curran, Kathy Hochul. That's a little desperate, wouldn't you say? Yeah.
• 32:57
  Speaker 8: The data center conversation. Any thoughts on that, Norm?
• 33:01
  Speaker 18: Well, I think she went after him for the data
• 33:04
  Speaker 18: center because it seems to be a pretty popular issue
• 33:06
  Speaker 18: right now that people are frightened by these data centers
• 33:09
  Speaker 18: and the water and electricity that they use. And she
• 33:12
  Speaker 18: put that moratorium on for a year. And so she thought, OK,
• 33:16
  Speaker 18: I can score some points with this.
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but she didn't make any real good arguments.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: No, she only mentioned it really one time that I remember.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Did she mention it more than once?
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah, more than once. And he made the point, look,
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: we got to keep up, man. We got to keep
• 33:30
  Speaker 8: up with, you know, whether it's data centers or AI
• 33:32
  Speaker 8: with everybody else. He said, look, I understand that there
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: are some reasons for concern, right? Water and energy and
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: all the issues. And he's saying, but here's the difference.
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: I would sit down. with all these environmentalists and other
• 33:49
  Speaker 8: folks and try to figure it out and not just
• 33:53
  Speaker 8: wipe it out for a year. The dumbest thing, and
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: she must have said ten times that Bruce Blakeman said
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: my moratorium was dumb and that President Trump said only
• 34:05
  Speaker 8: dumb people would like it. Well, that's true, Kathy, because
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: you're dumb. And while the world is moving forward with
• 34:13
  Speaker 8: data centers and AI, New Yorkers, Standing back. Same thing
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: with the energy here. He made the point. Josh Shapiro, Pennsylvania,
• 34:24
  Speaker 8: that governor. And Pennsylvania is every bit as blue as
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: we are. They're a mess. But guess what? They have
• 34:31
  Speaker 8: energy and they use their own. They're not buying from
• 34:35
  Speaker 8: other states. We buy ours from Pennsylvania. So across the
• 34:38
  Speaker 8: border in Pennsylvania, they're driving around in brand new Cadillacs.
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: And once you hit the border in upstate New York,
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: we got a bunch of 25-year-old beat-up pickup trucks because
• 34:49
  Speaker 8: we refuse to use our own energy. Instead, we buy
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: it from somebody else. She never gave a good argument
• 34:58
  Speaker 8: for that, why she's doing that.
• 35:00
  Speaker 12: Never.
• 35:01
  Speaker 8: Did you hear it last night?
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: No, she just moved on to something else.
• 35:05
  Speaker 8: So what did she do exactly? I know she said
• 35:07
  Speaker 8: a hundred times she spends billions of dollars on improving
• 35:12
  Speaker 8: crime stats. And he says, well, maybe if you, I
• 35:17
  Speaker 8: don't know, turned over those 16,000, Kathy, 16,000 criminal detainees
• 35:25
  Speaker 8: to ICE, maybe you wouldn't have to spend all that
• 35:29
  Speaker 8: money to make sure New Yorkers are safe. Let's start
• 35:33
  Speaker 8: right there, right now. Maybe if you didn't go out
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: of your way to defend people like Oscar Belgao, Maybe
• 35:41
  Speaker 8: he would have to spend all that money on keeping
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: New Yorkers safe. I mean, he did make those points
• 35:49
  Speaker 8: last night, Norm. He did.
• 35:50
  Speaker 18: I wish he had talked about Mayor Mamdani more. I
• 35:54
  Speaker 18: think he missed a chance to use him as a boogeyman,
• 35:58
  Speaker 18: especially for voters in Westchester and Rockland and on Long
• 36:04
  Speaker 18: Island who are afraid of him. And the fact that
• 36:08
  Speaker 18: it didn't come up until 40 minutes in, I thought,
• 36:10
  Speaker 18: It was a lost opportunity for him.
• 36:12
  Speaker 8: All right. So what's your grade for Kathy Hochul?
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: For last night?
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: I'd give her a C minus.
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: Oh, God. I'd give her a... I'm not going to
• 36:21
  Speaker 8: fail her. She's definitely in the D category. She's not
• 36:24
  Speaker 8: in the C category. Okay. And what is your grade
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: for Bruce Blakeman? Be honest. Don't be a little... No,
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: I am.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: I would give him a B plus.
• 36:33
  Speaker 8: Okay. So he gets a B plus. She gets a
• 36:35
  Speaker 8: C minus. So he won the debate, clearly, in your estimation.
• 36:38
  Speaker 10: Yeah, no.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: No hands down. He won the debate.
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: I just.
• 36:41
  Speaker 18: Felt like there was some missed opportunities on his part
• 36:43
  Speaker 18: that could have even made a hammer at home. Maybe
• 36:45
  Speaker 18: he would have had some great viral moments, and we
• 36:47
  Speaker 18: didn't get a lot of those.
• 36:48
  Speaker 8: Okay. What else is going on besides this debate last night?
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: We have the pope who is in the hospital.
• 36:54
  Speaker 18: You know, he was diagnosed with lung cancer following the
• 36:57
  Speaker 18: successful surgery to remove a tumor from his right lung.
• 37:02
  Speaker 18: It was a 90-minute operation yesterday. He's in Gemelli Hospital.
• 37:06
  Speaker 18: That's where usually the popes go to get surgery done.
• 37:10
  Speaker 18: They think he's okay. They say the procedure was successful.
• 37:13
  Speaker 18: He'll be in the hospital for like a week or so,
• 37:15
  Speaker 18: and they say they think that he'll make a full recovery.
• 37:18
  Speaker 18: And then back here in New York, it seems that
• 37:20
  Speaker 18: there's a deal that's been reached to end the horse
• 37:22
  Speaker 18: carriage industry.
• 37:24
  Speaker 8: Oh, my God, that came up last night. I got
• 37:26
  Speaker 8: to tell you, all the stuff going on in this city,
• 37:29
  Speaker 8: I'm sorry, but the horses in Central Park?
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: I mean, you think people care about that? Not at
• 37:34
  Speaker 8: the end of the day, no.
• 37:35
  Speaker 19: No.
• 37:36
  Speaker 8: There's no way in a one-hour debate, and again, I
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: think that Errol and Susan did a good job. I
• 37:41
  Speaker 8: think New York One did a good job. I'll give
• 37:42
  Speaker 8: them credit. That's where I'm different. I can give people
• 37:45
  Speaker 8: who don't even like credit, but what a waste of
• 37:47
  Speaker 8: a question. The horse carriages in Central Park? Who cares? Seriously.
• 37:53
  Speaker 8: Look ahead. What's the latest?
• 37:54
  Speaker 18: Yeah, well, so it is interesting because you'll remember Mayor
• 37:57
  Speaker 18: de Blasio ran on that, that he was going to
• 37:59
  Speaker 18: end the horse carriage industry. He was unable to do that.
• 38:01
  Speaker 18: Mayor Adams said he would do the same, unable to.
• 38:03
  Speaker 18: Now the mayor says that He's worked out a deal
• 38:06
  Speaker 18: with Julie Mennon, the council speaker, and that a vote
• 38:09
  Speaker 18: will come October 22nd. They would phase out the industry completely,
• 38:14
  Speaker 18: getting new jobs.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: For these people who own the horses or are in
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: the carriage business.
• 38:19
  Speaker 8: By the way, those people do not, I guess they're
• 38:24
  Speaker 8: a little nervous. They're not confident that the city is
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: going to get them new jobs, just so you know.
• 38:30
  Speaker 18: I would be worried about that as well because, like,
• 38:32
  Speaker 18: what jobs are they going to get? Some of these
• 38:33
  Speaker 18: people have been in the industry. There's one guy in
• 38:35
  Speaker 18: the park yesterday. He came here, emigrated here from Turkey,
• 38:39
  Speaker 18: has been in the horse and carriage industry for 25 years.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: He said, I've made a living for my family. He said,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: what am I going to do now? What do I
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: have skills to do after 25 years of doing this?
• 38:48
  Speaker 8: Interesting. I know Jose Mercedes spoke yesterday, and, you know,
• 38:52
  Speaker 8: you never heard from the mayor about this one, right?
• 38:54
  Speaker 8: You hear from the mayor when an illegal... A gang-banging, drug-dealing,
• 39:00
  Speaker 8: convicted felon, illegal, gets apprehended and shot out by ICE.
• 39:06
  Speaker 8: Who cares? But you didn't hear from the mayor when
• 39:09
  Speaker 8: Jose Mercedes was stabbed seven times by a couple of
• 39:14
  Speaker 8: illegals who will be arraigned in a New York City
• 39:18
  Speaker 8: court today. You didn't hear from the mayor then, did you?
• 39:21
  Speaker 8: And I know that he, you know, people now are
• 39:23
  Speaker 8: giving him credit because he's sticking with jessica Tisch. Oh,
• 39:26
  Speaker 8: my God. Of course he is. Of course. Every time
• 39:31
  Speaker 8: these crime numbers come out and Jessica Tisch talks about
• 39:35
  Speaker 8: all-time low, all-time low, all-time low, you know who takes
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: the credit? Mamdani. He's like, look, under my watch, crime
• 39:45
  Speaker 8: in this city is at an all-time low. Secondly, he
• 39:49
  Speaker 8: knows this. He is an anti-Semite. Bruce said it last night.
• 39:53
  Speaker 8: I've said it every day since he won. He's a
• 39:55
  Speaker 8: raging anti-Semite. He's the worst kind of anti-Semite. But the
• 40:00
  Speaker 8: last thing he wants to do is fire a Jew.
• 40:03
  Speaker 8: That rhymed. The last thing he wants to do is
• 40:06
  Speaker 8: fire a Jew. So, of course, he's not going to
• 40:09
  Speaker 8: fire her. I'm not going to give him credit for that.
• 40:11
  Speaker 8: He's doing a great job. You want to give him
• 40:14
  Speaker 8: credit for that? But, Jose Mercedes, not a word to him.
• 40:18
  Speaker 18: It is amazing, and if you don't know the story,
• 40:20
  Speaker 18: it's really incredible. Jose Mercedes was off-duty. This was last
• 40:25
  Speaker 18: week when these two thugs came up behind him on
• 40:28
  Speaker 18: a moped. They yanked the gold chain off of his neck,
• 40:31
  Speaker 18: and he fought back.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: They stabbed him seven times.
• 40:34
  Speaker 18: He got stabbed in the neck, other parts of his body,
• 40:36
  Speaker 18: and then he continued to chase after them.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Even after being stabbed in the neck and the leg.
• 40:42
  Speaker 18: They were able to get away, but as you said,
• 40:43
  Speaker 18: they were found up in Lynn, Massachusetts, both illegally here
• 40:48
  Speaker 18: in the country. This 25- and 24-year-old, so they'll be
• 40:50
  Speaker 18: in a New York courtroom. And the good news is
• 40:52
  Speaker 18: Mercedes is recovering. He left the hospital on Monday, and
• 40:56
  Speaker 18: he says he can't wait to get back on the force.
• 40:57
  Speaker 8: He actually spoke yesterday. We'll play this. It's a quick one, Lewis.
• 41:00
  Speaker 8: It's only seven seconds. This, Lewis, is cut number 12.
• 41:06
  Speaker 8: Here is hero cop Jose Mercedes standing next to my
• 41:10
  Speaker 8: good buddy, DEA President Scott Monroe, at a press conference yesterday.
• 41:15
  Speaker 12: I'm going to be forever grateful to those people that
• 41:19
  Speaker 12: saved my life.
• 41:22
  Speaker 8: God bless you. All right, got a lot of guests today,
• 41:24
  Speaker 8: so we've got to wrap this up. Anything else?
• 41:26
  Speaker 18: Yeah, so Kelly Clarkson's been in this high-profile battle with
• 41:29
  Speaker 18: a toy store in Brooklyn Heights.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Have you followed this?
• 41:32
  Speaker 8: A little bit.
• 41:33
  Speaker 18: So she went into this store, Art of Play, over
• 41:36
  Speaker 18: the weekend, and I guess she didn't like the way
• 41:38
  Speaker 18: they treated her.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: They must not have recognized her.
• 41:41
  Speaker 18: And then she goes on to X and Instagram all
• 41:44
  Speaker 18: her social media accounts, and she calls out this store
• 41:47
  Speaker 18: for not selling her this item that's worth about $ 15, 000.
• 41:52
  Speaker 18: And afterwards, this store, the owner of the store, his
• 41:55
  Speaker 18: name is Adam Rubin, he says the threats have been nonstop.
• 41:59
  Speaker 18: He says that they've been doxxed. People are showing up
• 42:03
  Speaker 18: at the store constantly. yelling at them for the way
• 42:06
  Speaker 18: they treated Kelly Clarkson.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: Here he is talking about it.
• 42:09
  Speaker 23: Using your enormous platform as a superstar to try to
• 42:12
  Speaker 23: squash a local business like a bug is a reprehensible
• 42:15
  Speaker 23: abuse of power. People are showing up and screaming at us.
• 42:19
  Speaker 23: The neighbors call the cops. The neighbors are getting doxxed.
• 42:22
  Speaker 18: Yeah, and he says if Clarkson had just had a
• 42:24
  Speaker 18: simple conversation, if she had said, look, I was treated poorly,
• 42:26
  Speaker 18: she called the store or reached out to them, they
• 42:29
  Speaker 18: would have explained that this thing that she wanted, which
• 42:31
  Speaker 18: was this talking bird, was not for sale. It's like
• 42:35
  Speaker 18: part of the store. It's part of what's in there.
• 42:38
  Speaker 18: And they said she couldn't buy it. It doesn't matter
• 42:40
  Speaker 18: how much money she wanted to buy it for. It
• 42:41
  Speaker 18: wasn't for sale. So they say that now this guy,
• 42:45
  Speaker 18: Adam Rubin, who owns the store, normally he's not there
• 42:47
  Speaker 18: every day. He said he's afraid for his employees, so
• 42:49
  Speaker 18: he says he's going to be there every day to
• 42:51
  Speaker 18: make sure that they're okay.
• 42:52
  Speaker 8: What a wild story. The other one, the celebrity wild story,
• 42:56
  Speaker 8: I guess, is who was the lady that went berserk
• 42:58
  Speaker 8: on the airplane?
• 43:00
  Speaker 21: Selma Blair.
• 43:01
  Speaker 8: That's right, yeah. What happened to her? Is she in
• 43:04
  Speaker 8: a crazy hospital or something?
• 43:05
  Speaker 18: Well, now she's just awaiting a court date, and so
• 43:08
  Speaker 18: we'll find out what happens.
• 43:09
  Speaker 8: She should never be allowed on an airplane again. Yeah, well,
• 43:11
  Speaker 8: it's the second time. I get very nervous.
• 43:13
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 43:14
  Speaker 8: People like that, I can't stand it. I mean, I
• 43:16
  Speaker 8: remember years ago that Chinese guy was screaming on the airplane.
• 43:19
  Speaker 8: Remember that? He was just yelling because they wanted to
• 43:21
  Speaker 8: remove him and put him in a different seat. And
• 43:24
  Speaker 8: so they actually kind of touched him to say, hey, sir,
• 43:26
  Speaker 8: can you please change your seat? And he started screaming.
• 43:30
  Speaker 8: At the top of his lungs. You remember that, Noam?
• 43:32
  Speaker 8: I do. Me and Bernie played that for weeks.
• 43:34
  Speaker 21: Was that William Hung?
• 43:35
  Speaker 8: It was not William Hung. William Hung, one of the
• 43:38
  Speaker 8: all-time greats. And for the $ 64, 000, Noam, William Hung sang
• 43:44
  Speaker 8: what song on American Idol?
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: Shebang.
• 43:46
  Speaker 8: Yes! All right, Noamie Lake. All right, we've got a
• 43:50
  Speaker 8: lot of big guests coming on today. Norm will be
• 43:52
  Speaker 8: here as well. Lou Rapinoe, Justin Ellick, Joe Nolan, all
• 43:55
  Speaker 8: of us. Rich Lowry is our first guest today, but
• 43:58
  Speaker 8: before it's said and done, Anthony D'Esposito, former congressman, Peter King,
• 44:04
  Speaker 8: former congressman, Mike Lawler, current congressman, Mark Wayne Mullen, who,
• 44:09
  Speaker 8: of course, is Mr. DHS. and the big star this morning,
• 44:14
  Speaker 8: Nassau County Executive and soon-to-be Governor Bruce Blakeman. He will
• 44:19
  Speaker 8: join me coming up at 845 this morning. Wednesday morning,
• 44:22
  Speaker 8: it's a big one, folks, a very big one. Sid
• 44:25
  Speaker 8: and friends in the morning. Let's go, Bruce.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 44:35
  Speaker 8: I'm in very high demand. I'm not saying this to
• 44:38
  Speaker 8: come off like a narcissist. I'm being honest. Very high demand.
• 44:42
  Speaker 8: Anytime there's any event in the city, they want me.
• 44:45
  Speaker 8: Anytime there's some podcast, they want me. And I've always
• 44:51
  Speaker 8: had a difficulty in my life. This is a huge
• 44:53
  Speaker 8: character flaw. I admit it. I'm saying no. I just
• 44:57
  Speaker 8: don't say no. I've gotten better. Much better, actually, than
• 45:02
  Speaker 8: I used to. I would just say yes to everything,
• 45:04
  Speaker 8: and then when the moment was there, I knew how
• 45:06
  Speaker 8: to do something or go somewhere. I was pretty miserable.
• 45:09
  Speaker 8: So I do say no now much more than I
• 45:12
  Speaker 8: ever did.
• 45:13
  Speaker 21: When's the last time you said no?
• 45:16
  Speaker 8: Just a couple of weeks ago.
• 45:18
  Speaker 21: Okay, that's not vague.
• 45:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah, a couple of weeks ago I said no. I
• 45:23
  Speaker 8: can't tell you exactly what it was. I'd rather not,
• 45:25
  Speaker 8: but I do say no.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: And.
• 45:28
  Speaker 8: I still say yes a lot, though. And the day
• 45:31
  Speaker 8: comes and I'll get a text. Hey, where are you?
• 45:34
  Speaker 8: And I'll be like, what do you mean? I forgot
• 45:36
  Speaker 8: about it. I don't do a very good job of
• 45:38
  Speaker 8: writing this stuff down. I don't have an assistant.
• 45:40
  Speaker 20: That's bad.
• 45:41
  Speaker 8: I just don't care.
• 45:42
  Speaker 20: That's it.
• 45:43
  Speaker 15: I know.
• 45:43
  Speaker 8: I don't care. So there's a lot of Bruce Blakeman
• 45:46
  Speaker 8: events coming up. I know Suzanne Miller is having one
• 45:49
  Speaker 8: next Wednesday night. I'll be at that one. But tomorrow night,
• 45:53
  Speaker 8: I found out this is kind of cool. that the Knickerbockers,
• 45:57
  Speaker 8: the world champion New York Knicks, they'll be hosting the
• 46:02
  Speaker 8: Toronto Raptors. It's preseason basketball. The regular season doesn't start
• 46:07
  Speaker 8: for a couple of weeks when the Knicks will host
• 46:09
  Speaker 8: LeBron James and the Philadelphia 76ers and raise the championship banner.
• 46:14
  Speaker 8: So tomorrow night is a preseason game, Knicks and Raptors.
• 46:19
  Speaker 8: But James Dolan, the great owner of the Knicks and Rangers,
• 46:23
  Speaker 8: I love James. I do. I love him. He is
• 46:26
  Speaker 8: throwing Bruce Blakeman a big fundraiser tomorrow night at the Garden,
• 46:32
  Speaker 8: right before the Nick Rafters game. I think I read
• 46:35
  Speaker 8: it's about $ 10, 000 a plate. Very, very small, very, very
• 46:40
  Speaker 8: small crowd. $ 10, 000 a plate. But Bruce has taken me. Well,
• 46:47
  Speaker 8: how about that, Lou?
• 46:50
  Speaker 21: You need a governor, right?
• 46:51
  Speaker 8: Yes. That's right, James.
• 46:54
  Speaker 21: So we won the championship last year.
• 46:58
  Speaker 8: That's right, James.
• 47:00
  Speaker 21: So I figure we got to have another, a good governor, right?
• 47:03
  Speaker 21: A good governor.
• 47:05
  Speaker 8: He does say right a lot. He does do that.
• 47:08
  Speaker 8: I love James Dolan. I can't wait to see him
• 47:10
  Speaker 8: tomorrow night. And very, very cool of Bruce Blakeman to
• 47:13
  Speaker 8: take me along with him. So I will be at
• 47:16
  Speaker 8: Madison Square Garden. I got about Three or four Blakeman
• 47:19
  Speaker 8: events in the next seven to ten days. I'm kind
• 47:22
  Speaker 8: of his unofficial campaign manager. You know that. But tomorrow
• 47:26
  Speaker 8: night should be fun. Nixon, Raptors, and Bruce Blakeman.
• 47:29
  Speaker 21: So you're not going to write this down and then
• 47:32
  Speaker 21: not show up, right?
• 47:33
  Speaker 8: No, James, I'll be there. Don't you worry.
• 47:36
  Speaker 21: I got you at a good table.
• 47:38
  Speaker 8: And then I hear, James, that you put us in
• 47:41
  Speaker 8: a sweep of the game tonight. But there's only 20
• 47:45
  Speaker 8: people can fit in that suite. That's it. Just 20.
• 47:47
  Speaker 21: Well, you want real Nick fans, right?
• 47:50
  Speaker 18: So you want a real Nick fan.
• 47:54
  Speaker 21: I want Nick fans. And if you don't show up, then,
• 47:59
  Speaker 21: of course, I have a problem, right? Then I've got
• 48:01
  Speaker 21: a problem.
• 48:01
  Speaker 8: You do.
• 48:02
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 48:02
  Speaker 8: But I'll be there. Don't worry, James. I'll be there.
• 48:04
  Speaker 8: You're going to be there because I know you're a
• 48:06
  Speaker 8: good fan. Unlike the mayor, right? Nobody's going to write
• 48:09
  Speaker 8: my speech. Next time they win a championship, Mr. Dolan,
• 48:12
  Speaker 8: I can promise you that. Okay, great, great.
• 48:15
  Speaker 21: I need you there, right?
• 48:16
  Speaker 8: I'll be there tomorrow night. All right, we'll take a
• 48:19
  Speaker 8: short break. We've got six amazing guests coming your way,
• 48:22
  Speaker 8: including the aforementioned, the great Bruce Blankman. Mark Wayne Mullen's
• 48:26
  Speaker 8: going to be here today. Peter King, a host of others.
• 48:29
  Speaker 8: But we kick it off.
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 48:37
  Speaker 8: I just heard from my dear friend Fenton McCormack, happens
• 48:40
  Speaker 8: to be the first deputy commissioner and deputy commissioner of
• 48:43
  Speaker 8: the Nassau County Police Department under Bruce Blakeman. And he
• 48:47
  Speaker 8: nailed it. Fenton says Blakeman did not just win that debate,
• 48:51
  Speaker 8: he controlled the narrative, exposed Hochul's incompetence, and showed the
• 48:56
  Speaker 8: audience he's ready to lead New York. He's going to win,
• 49:00
  Speaker 8: and I agree. We will talk to the great Bruce
• 49:03
  Speaker 8: Blakeman on this program this morning, get his personal recap
• 49:07
  Speaker 8: of last night's debate coming up in about an hour
• 49:10
  Speaker 8: and a half. But Rich Lowry's here, Mr. National Review,
• 49:13
  Speaker 8: great every Wednesday morning. Rich, happy Wednesday, buddy. How are you?
• 49:18
  Speaker 24: Same to you. I'm good. How was the parade?
• 49:20
  Speaker 8: The parade was great. I loved it. I was in
• 49:23
  Speaker 8: a convertible Cadillac and took a long time this year.
• 49:26
  Speaker 8: It took over three and a half hours to go
• 49:27
  Speaker 8: from 45th and 5th to 72nd and 5th, but it
• 49:31
  Speaker 8: was a great day. Great day.
• 49:32
  Speaker 24: You can't really go 45 miles per hour.
• 49:34
  Speaker 8: No, you can't. The best part of the day.
• 49:36
  Speaker 24: The lights are in your favor, but you got to
• 49:37
  Speaker 24: go slow.
• 49:38
  Speaker 8: Yeah, the best part of the day, believe it or not,
• 49:40
  Speaker 8: was that Mamdani wasn't there. That was the best part.
• 49:44
  Speaker 24: There you go.
• 49:45
  Speaker 8: What a creep. So I was reading the New York
• 49:47
  Speaker 8: Post a couple of days ago. I came across this.
• 49:50
  Speaker 8: Elon Omar's shady family history gives Trump plenty of reasons
• 49:56
  Speaker 8: to probe her past. And who wrote that? You did.
• 50:00
  Speaker 8: So I got to tell you, I had Brian Kameet
• 50:03
  Speaker 8: on the show yesterday. And so many times, Rich, so
• 50:06
  Speaker 8: many times in the 11 years I've been here, dating
• 50:09
  Speaker 8: back to my days with Bernard, I wanted to see repercussion.
• 50:13
  Speaker 8: I wanted Hillary Clinton to go to prison for wiping
• 50:16
  Speaker 8: out all those emails. I wanted to see Andrew Cuomo
• 50:19
  Speaker 8: do time. I wanted to see Bill de Blasio's wife
• 50:22
  Speaker 8: do time. It never happens. Only Bob Menendez. He's the
• 50:26
  Speaker 8: only putz. So I said to Brian Kilmeade yesterday, I go,
• 50:30
  Speaker 8: is there a chance that Ilhan Omar is really in trouble?
• 50:35
  Speaker 8: And he said yes, because there were two probes going on,
• 50:38
  Speaker 8: not just the age and whether she was here legally
• 50:42
  Speaker 8: or not, or she can stay in Congress or not,
• 50:45
  Speaker 8: but there's a fraud issue that they really think they
• 50:48
  Speaker 8: can get her on. You tell me, Rich Lowry, is
• 50:51
  Speaker 8: Ilhan Omar in any serious trouble?
• 50:55
  Speaker 24: She might be. It's hard to know. If Brian's right,
• 50:58
  Speaker 24: she would be. I don't think the immigration stuff is
• 51:02
  Speaker 24: going to be criminal, even if she's guilty of it.
• 51:06
  Speaker 24: I think it would be more of a bid to
• 51:08
  Speaker 24: denaturalize her. And even if you denaturalize her and there's
• 51:12
  Speaker 24: a process, hearings, et cetera, I'm not sure she's going
• 51:16
  Speaker 24: anywhere because she's married to a U.S. citizen and has U.S.
• 51:19
  Speaker 24: citizen children. But if there's something else involving money, Well,
• 51:23
  Speaker 24: that would make it much more serious and perhaps criminal
• 51:25
  Speaker 24: in nature. It's just hard to know. As has been
• 51:30
  Speaker 24: pointed out, presumably a Democratic judge approved this warrant, so
• 51:33
  Speaker 24: that suggests at least there's enough evidence for the warrant.
• 51:36
  Speaker 24: But people need to understand the immigration thing. Everyone kind
• 51:38
  Speaker 24: of knows about marrying the alleged brother. She may have
• 51:41
  Speaker 24: done that. The whole thing's a little murky. She may
• 51:43
  Speaker 24: have done that. But as you pointed out, this has
• 51:46
  Speaker 24: to do with her father, very likely, because she describes
• 51:48
  Speaker 24: in her memoir her father as an educator, right? Makes
• 51:52
  Speaker 24: him sound as though he was the assistant principal of
• 51:54
  Speaker 24: Mogadishu High, right? That's all he did in Somalia. He
• 51:58
  Speaker 24: was really a servant of this dictatorial, blood-soaked regime and
• 52:02
  Speaker 24: a colonel, a Soviet-trained colonel in the military. And most people, right,
• 52:07
  Speaker 24: you have a relative of those in the military, especially
• 52:09
  Speaker 24: a dad, and apparently he was decorated and... in the
• 52:14
  Speaker 24: Somali-Ethiopian war, you at least mention that. You probably exaggerate it.
• 52:17
  Speaker 24: You know, you're proud of it, and it's very suggestive
• 52:20
  Speaker 24: that she doesn't mention it at all. So it raises
• 52:23
  Speaker 24: the possibility he came, sought asylum here, and said, hey, look,
• 52:26
  Speaker 24: I'm just a teacher. And there's also a suggestion that
• 52:29
  Speaker 24: she may have lied about her age, because if your
• 52:31
  Speaker 24: dad gets naturalized back then and you're a minor, you're
• 52:33
  Speaker 24: naturalized automatically as well. But she may not have been 17,
• 52:38
  Speaker 24: as she said. She may have been 18 or 19,
• 52:40
  Speaker 24: which would make the whole thing fraudulent.
• 52:41
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 52:42
  Speaker 8: So if the whole thing is fraudulent, she can no
• 52:45
  Speaker 8: longer serve in Congress, right?
• 52:48
  Speaker 24: If she's denaturalized, I think you have to be a
• 52:51
  Speaker 24: citizen to serve in Congress, right?
• 52:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 52:54
  Speaker 24: So there you have it.
• 52:56
  Speaker 8: I'm going to bring on Mark Wayne Mullen at 940
• 53:01
  Speaker 8: this morning. If all that comes out and she lied
• 53:04
  Speaker 8: and she was 18, blah, blah, blah. Can we deport
• 53:07
  Speaker 8: her at that point?
• 53:09
  Speaker 24: I was asking an immigration expert friend of mine this
• 53:12
  Speaker 24: question yesterday. I was like, okay, so let's say they
• 53:14
  Speaker 24: do denaturalize her. Does she have to go? And he
• 53:18
  Speaker 24: didn't know because she is married to a U.S. citizen,
• 53:20
  Speaker 24: as I mentioned, has U.S. citizen children. So I'm not sure.
• 53:25
  Speaker 24: So that's a question I don't know the answer to.
• 53:30
  Speaker 24: But look, this thing, if they're there and you get
• 53:33
  Speaker 24: down the path to denaturalization, this is going to be
• 53:36
  Speaker 24: thermonuclear for the left.
• 53:37
  Speaker 20: Oh, yeah.
• 53:38
  Speaker 8: It's going to be great. Hey, Richard, tell me what
• 53:40
  Speaker 8: you think about shutting off Starlink in this Ukraine-Russia conflict. And, again,
• 53:47
  Speaker 8: the United States shutting off Starlink. I talked about this
• 53:50
  Speaker 8: with Brian Kilmeade this morning, too. He's obviously very, very
• 53:53
  Speaker 8: heavy pro-Ukraine, very. And he thinks Putin is committing genocide.
• 53:58
  Speaker 8: I agree with him. What do you think about the U.S.
• 54:01
  Speaker 8: shutting off Starlink?
• 54:03
  Speaker 24: I'm with Brian on this whole issue. I'm very pro-Ukraine.
• 54:07
  Speaker 24: So maybe you want to restrain the munitions we're giving
• 54:09
  Speaker 24: them because, you know, we're low on some important stuff,
• 54:13
  Speaker 24: as we know. But I don't get tilting towards Putin
• 54:16
  Speaker 24: or trying to punish Ukraine. And I understand why Trump
• 54:20
  Speaker 24: doesn't like Ukraine hitting the refineries. But Ukraine's only hitting
• 54:23
  Speaker 24: Russian refineries because Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine without cause and
• 54:28
  Speaker 24: is destroying all this energy infrastructure in an effort to
• 54:33
  Speaker 24: freeze it out this winter, you know. So in that circumstance,
• 54:36
  Speaker 24: it's understandable what they're doing. So I just, you know,
• 54:38
  Speaker 24: Trump's been all over the map on this. I thought,
• 54:40
  Speaker 24: you know, he'd come in and think, OK, I'm going
• 54:42
  Speaker 24: to get a peace deal. And then you realize Putin
• 54:44
  Speaker 24: is the ultimate obstacle. And he tilts against Putin, which
• 54:47
  Speaker 24: he did for a while. But now he's kind of
• 54:49
  Speaker 24: back complaining about Ukraine. So I just I don't get
• 54:52
  Speaker 24: this one.
• 54:53
  Speaker 8: And this one doesn't seem like it's coming to an
• 54:55
  Speaker 8: end anytime soon because Putin, if Trump can convince Putin,
• 54:59
  Speaker 8: and I thought that Trump had the best shot of anybody,
• 55:02
  Speaker 8: no one can. No one.
• 55:04
  Speaker 6: Correct. Yeah.
• 55:05
  Speaker 24: And look, there's nothing wrong with trying to get a
• 55:08
  Speaker 24: peace deal here. And for a while there, it was
• 55:10
  Speaker 24: kind of illegal to even think that we should try
• 55:12
  Speaker 24: to get a peace deal, which always struck me as crazy.
• 55:15
  Speaker 24: And a peace deal, I'd be happy with a peace deal.
• 55:18
  Speaker 24: You just draw a line on a map where it
• 55:20
  Speaker 24: is now and give Russia everything that they've taken. Ukrainians
• 55:23
  Speaker 24: wouldn't like that, but that'd be fine with me. But
• 55:25
  Speaker 24: it's not fine with Putin because he wants more.
• 55:28
  Speaker 8: He wants more. Rich Lowry, National Review. So, Richard, as
• 55:31
  Speaker 8: of today, we are 20 days away. That's it. 20
• 55:35
  Speaker 8: days away from Election Day. It's going to start getting
• 55:39
  Speaker 8: very hairy, very nerve-wracking. A lot of very anxious people,
• 55:43
  Speaker 8: including President Trump in Washington, D.C., because he knows this. Okay, Rich,
• 55:47
  Speaker 8: have an honest conversation. If we lose the midterms... I
• 55:51
  Speaker 8: know this, and it breaks my heart. They're going to
• 55:55
  Speaker 8: go after him, his family, his friends. Heck, it's not
• 56:00
  Speaker 8: crazy to think I could be subpoenaed. They are going
• 56:03
  Speaker 8: to spend their days and nights trying to ruin this
• 56:06
  Speaker 8: guy's life. And even though he will still be the
• 56:09
  Speaker 8: president and he can still get some stuff done, I'm
• 56:12
  Speaker 8: telling you, he has not told me this. I promise you.
• 56:15
  Speaker 8: I'm telling you. He's nervous for his family, his friends,
• 56:20
  Speaker 8: and what could happen in about three weeks.
• 56:24
  Speaker 24: Yeah, well, I think they're going to take the House,
• 56:26
  Speaker 24: as we've discussed, and that's what they're going to do.
• 56:27
  Speaker 24: I don't know whether they're going to impeach him. I
• 56:29
  Speaker 24: think they might find it irresistible. If they're smarter, they'll
• 56:32
  Speaker 24: just do the investigations, because the public usually doesn't oppose investigations.
• 56:36
  Speaker 24: They might not like an impeachment. Impeachment could backfire, but
• 56:39
  Speaker 24: usually investigations don't. So they have every incentive to do that.
• 56:43
  Speaker 24: I don't think it means the end of his presidency.
• 56:45
  Speaker 24: I mean, there's so much he does. It just doesn't
• 56:47
  Speaker 24: have to do with Congress. He wanted the big, beautiful bill.
• 56:51
  Speaker 24: He wanted the SAVE Act. I'm not sure there are
• 56:53
  Speaker 24: other things he really wanted, particularly from Congress. So much
• 56:55
  Speaker 24: of what he does is on his own. But this
• 56:57
  Speaker 24: will be a huge distraction. It will generate all sorts
• 57:00
  Speaker 24: of headlines he won't like and will be a psychic
• 57:03
  Speaker 24: and legal drain on people really close to him, including
• 57:06
  Speaker 24: his children.
• 57:08
  Speaker 8: And this Iran thing, you know, people aren't following it
• 57:11
  Speaker 8: that closely anymore. They've lost interest, but I'm sure you
• 57:14
  Speaker 8: know this. Do you realize that 10, that's a big number, Rich,
• 57:19
  Speaker 8: not one or two, 10 ships have been attacked in
• 57:24
  Speaker 8: the Strait of Hormuz this week alone? Yeah.
• 57:28
  Speaker 24: Well, they're trying to shut it back down, and apparently
• 57:31
  Speaker 24: we've destroyed their radar, and now they're using, like, little
• 57:34
  Speaker 24: ships just spotting stuff, you know? So we can blow
• 57:37
  Speaker 24: those up, too, but.
• 57:39
  Speaker 24: Eliminating their ability to do anything, any disruption in the
• 57:42
  Speaker 24: straight would be a years-long effort, I believe. So I'm
• 57:45
  Speaker 24: back to thinking, you know, I was a little more
• 57:47
  Speaker 24: optimistic a couple weeks ago. Now I'm thinking, okay, well,
• 57:50
  Speaker 24: we're still stuck.
• 57:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think so, too. So this morning I was
• 57:54
  Speaker 8: supposed to be in Washington, D.C. I was personally invited
• 57:57
  Speaker 8: by the Secretary of State, my friend Marco Rubio, to
• 58:00
  Speaker 8: go to the State Department this morning. Him and Howard
• 58:03
  Speaker 8: Lutnick are actually putting on a ceremony today. The 46
• 58:07
  Speaker 8: Americans that were killed in Gaza, October the 7th and after.
• 58:12
  Speaker 8: So this is not Israelis. This is Americans. That's what
• 58:15
  Speaker 8: Marko and Lutnik are doing at the State Department today.
• 58:18
  Speaker 8: And people keep asking me every day, Marko going to run?
• 58:22
  Speaker 8: Marko going to run? You said last week that because
• 58:25
  Speaker 8: he's reached out to me a bunch, and he has.
• 58:28
  Speaker 8: He has. That's a true story. I'm not lying. Including
• 58:31
  Speaker 8: on the plane coming back from Greece last week.
• 58:34
  Speaker 24: He was doing two things. He was firing Kimberly Guilfoyle
• 58:37
  Speaker 24: and reaching out to you. That's multitasking.
• 58:40
  Speaker 8: So do you still feel the same way that he's
• 58:43
  Speaker 8: going to run because of that?
• 58:45
  Speaker 24: What I said is the one piece of data that
• 58:48
  Speaker 24: kind of made me go, huh? You know, he might
• 58:52
  Speaker 24: be thinking about it and kind of planning for it.
• 58:54
  Speaker 24: I'm still skeptical he's going to run, but I have
• 58:56
  Speaker 24: to say just anecdotally, you know, your cocktail parties around
• 59:00
  Speaker 24: the country or whatever, people will volunteer that they like
• 59:04
  Speaker 24: Marco Rubio. I never hear that about J.D.
• 59:06
  Speaker 19: Vance.
• 59:07
  Speaker 24: It's not that they're anti-Vance, but no one's ever come
• 59:09
  Speaker 24: up to me and said, I really love J.D.
• 59:11
  Speaker 19: Vance.
• 59:12
  Speaker 8: That's true.
• 59:12
  Speaker 24: Whereas you hear that about Rubio all the time.
• 59:14
  Speaker 25: Now, you look at the polls.
• 59:15
  Speaker 24: There's another one the other day.
• 59:16
  Speaker 6: J.D.
• 59:17
  Speaker 24: Is ahead of this very early going. But I just
• 59:21
  Speaker 24: don't get the sense that he's... people have an innate
• 59:26
  Speaker 24: attraction towards J.D.
• 59:27
  Speaker 8: You're 100% right, 100% right. So the question becomes, midterms
• 59:31
  Speaker 8: are over, win, lose, or draw, when do you think
• 59:34
  Speaker 8: the presidential race of 2028 begins to really hit the spotlight?
• 59:41
  Speaker 24: I think within weeks we'll get people saying I'm forming
• 59:45
  Speaker 24: an exploratory committee or showing more leg in media interviews.
• 59:50
  Speaker 24: I think it's going to start really fast. Soon, you know,
• 59:54
  Speaker 24: it's going to be touchy with the president, right? He's
• 59:56
  Speaker 24: not going to like the idea of anyone succeeding him
• 59:58
  Speaker 24: or the idea that, you know, it's within the horizon
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 24: that he's going to be out of office. But that's
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 24: the reality.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 8: Some journalist contacted me two days ago and she said, hey,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 8: you met with J.D. Vance and have they contacted you since?
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 8: I said, no, to be honest, I've had a couple
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 8: of conversations with J.D. 's chief of staff, Nick Luna.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 8: Very good guy. I love him. So does Trump. I
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 8: think I've spoken to Will Martin once or twice, but
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 8: the truth is I've invited J.D. on this show more
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 8: than once, including last week, October 7th. I thought, hey,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 8: what a great way for J.D. to ingratiate himself with
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 8: the Jewish community in New York to come on and
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 8: talk about October 7th. They didn't even get back to me.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 8: I've now asked for J.D. three times since I met
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 8: him at the White House. They don't even get back
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 8: to me. So I said, well, listen, they're concentrating on
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 8: the midterms. He doesn't want to talk about the presidential
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 8: race right now, but if I give you a chance
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 8: to talk about October 7th in New York, you've got
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 8: to hop on that right away, no?
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 24: I would think so, yeah. I would keep asking right
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 24: after the election. I'd keep asking again.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 8: I think I will one more time, and then after
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 8: that I'm going to be like, F you, Rubo is
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 8: running and he's my guy anyway. Rich Lowry, you're great
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 8: as always. I love you, pal. Hey, Rich, by the way,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 8: are you coming next Thursday to my Hall of Fame thing?
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 6: I am, yeah.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 8: Oh, you are?
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 24: With bells on.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 8: Oh, that's awesome. I love you, pal. Thank you so much.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 8: Thank you. Rich Lowry right there, the editor of the
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 8: National Review. And yes, eight days away, a week from tomorrow,

• 1:01:46
  Speaker 8: Pete Morgan, my family, my crew here at the radio station,

  Speaker 8: honoree has ever had that many people attend this event.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 8: Once again, just emphasizing how huge I am.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 20: Right, Lewis?
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 8: Is it fair to say that? Yes, it's more than fair.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 8: Thank you, Lewis. Usually I go to Nome for that,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 8: but Al Volpe gets a kick out of that. Isn't
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 8: that right, Nome? Ha, ha, ha.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 21: He barely won.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 8: Al Volpe loves.

• 1:04:13
  Speaker 25: really is our highest honor. And what we try to do,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 25: the way it works, is we have our board of directors.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 25: We have a meeting. And your name came up. And
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 25: it was a unanimous vote. And your commitment to New
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 25: York City, I mean, you know, Brooklyn native, I mean,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 25: my God, you've done a great job. And so you
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 25: certainly deserve it. We're happy and honored that putting you
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 25: in our home.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 8: The current governor, Kathy Hochul, last night, she was embarrassing.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 8: I got to say, the only debate performance that I've
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 8: seen in the last many, many years that was worse
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 8: than Hochul last night was probably Joe Biden versus Trump.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 8: I said this earlier this morning. I'll say it again.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 8: At one point, I actually thought she was stroking out.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 8: She was so terrible, and Bruce was so solid. So
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 8: I want to get as many opinions as possible. This
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 8: fine gentleman was in that audience there last night with
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 8: Peter King, who's coming up next, Joe Cairo, and the
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 8: amazing police commissioner of Nassau County, Patty Ryder. He happens
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 8: to be President Trump's General Inspector General. for his Labor
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 8: Department and was, not that long ago, one of our
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 8: most valued congressmen, my dear, dear friend, my brother, Anthony D'Esposito.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 8: Tony D., good morning, buddy. How are you?
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 19: Good morning, Big Sid. So first of all, I just
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 19: want to make something very clear. I am discussing this
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 19: debate in my personal capacity and in no connection with
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 19: the Trump administration. That said, last night's debate was an
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 19: absolute indictment of the failures of Kathy Hochul and her
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 19: inability to govern the state of New York. Chairman Cairo
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 19: got a bunch of us together. We were actually not
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 19: in the audience at the debate. We were watching from
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 19: Sarada at King Umberto, myself, Peter King, Chairman Cairo. Like
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 19: you mentioned, Commissioner Ryder was there, a bunch of others.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 19: And we were all in agreement, not because Bruce is
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 19: a great county executive, not because Bruce is our friend,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 19: not because Bruce is a great leader, but because... He
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 19: performed by far and away in an exceptional manner last night.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 19: No questions asked. Bruce won that debate hands down. And
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 19: I think he did a fantastic job dismantling all of
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 19: the nonsense and BS that Kathy Hochul and the Democrats
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 19: have tried to spew over the last, especially the last
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 19: few months. He was, you know, I think the words
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 19: I used last night was he was like a surgeon.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 19: He went in there and piece by piece, he discussed
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 19: the things that Kathy Hochul has done to make our
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 19: state less affordable, to make our state tough to live in.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 19: The reasons as to why we lead in, or I
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 19: should say, we are last in economic growth. The reason
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 19: as to why so many people are fleeing New York
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 19: State for elsewhere because they can't afford to live here.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 19: The fact that she hasn't supported law enforcement. And obviously,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 19: her support of the Democratic Socialist anti-Semite who now leads
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 19: the city.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 24: Of New York, Zohran Mondami.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 19: And the only answer that she could give over and
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 19: over and over again was Donald Trump, Donald Trump. I've
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 19: never seen– we talk about people pretty often that are
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 19: suffering from Trump derangement syndrome. She, by far and away,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 19: might be the leader of it because– Everything that she
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 19: talked about, she just kept leaning back to Donald Trump.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 19: And I have to say, again, Bruce did a great job.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 19: He talked about all of the positives that we've had
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 19: in the last two years because of Donald Trump, like
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 19: a secure border, like record investment in the United States
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 19: of America, like making sure that Iran doesn't have a
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 19: nuclear weapon to hurt us and our allies. I mean,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 19: there are many things. And he also reminded the fact
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 19: that one of the reasons as to why things do
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 19: cost a little more these days is because he inherited
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 19: the worst economy in probably modern history from Joe Biden.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 8: That is the bottom line. And, you know, look, I
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 8: was even surprised last night. I had people like George
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 8: Pataki on yesterday, the last Republican governor, and Bob Holden,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 8: the amazing Democrat, former city council member. They're both endorsing Blakeman.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 8: And we all agreed she was going to go to Trump. Trump.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 8: But no one could have imagined. I'm sorry. Nobody could
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 8: have imagined that she would mention President Trump nearly as
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 8: much as she did last night. I went to AI
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 8: this morning. I'm trying to find the exact number, exact number,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 8: how many times she mentioned Trump. All AI said this
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 8: morning was more than a dozen. A dozen? She must
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 8: have mentioned his name 50 times last night. That was
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 8: her preparation for last night's debate?
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 19: And you're absolutely right, and I think that speaks volumes
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 19: and should really tell the story to the state of
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 19: New York and the people who are going to cast
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 19: their ballot. There was no way that Kathy Hochul prepared
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 19: herself for last night's debate. And that really should tell
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 19: New Yorkers like you and I that this debate and
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 19: what she sees as this race can't be that important
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 19: if you don't want to take the time to prepare yourself.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 19: to educate yourself with real facts and be able to
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 19: go at Blake.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 6: And listen, there are, there.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 19: Are things that she's done that, that she's made those
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 19: decisions and perhaps she does believe in them. Well then
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 19: defend them and tell the, tell the people of New
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 19: York why you did it. But to just say that,
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 19: I mean, you know, I think they talked about, you know,
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 19: a lunch that Bruce had when he was six years
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 19: old and somehow that's, that too was Donald Trump's fault.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 8: So silly. Anthony D'Esposito joining me this morning, former Congressman and,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 8: now doing a great job for President Trump's Labor Department.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 8: He's a general inspector, although he's just coming on this
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 8: morning as Anthony D'Esposito, folks. You made that point earlier.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 8: You know, the issue, of course, the one stick issue
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 8: was what happened here in New York, Marble Hill, last
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 8: week when ICE agents shot this loser, this lowlife, this
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 8: gangbanging criminal, Oscar Belgal. And, of course, Kathy Hochul made
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 8: him the victim of, And the truth is, is that
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 8: he was shot and no one is happy when you
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 8: fire in a car where there's a five-year-old. Nobody is happy.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 8: I'm going to have Mark Wayne Mullen on this show
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 8: coming up at 9.40 this morning. I'm sure they're going
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 8: to investigate why that was the case. But much like
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 8: George Floyd, Anthony, George Floyd was a lowlife. He was
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 8: arrested nine times. He put a gun in a pregnant
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 8: woman's stomach. He was hardly a hero. And we've got
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 8: statues and murals as if George Floyd, who never should
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 8: have died, that's true, as if he was a good man.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 8: Same thing with Oscar Belgal. This guy is a horrible person.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 8: He never should have been here in the first place.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 8: And Kathy Hochul wanted no part of that conversation.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 10: Absolutely.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 19: And let's break it down very simplistically. And when you
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 19: when you talk to my friend Mark Wayne Mullen a
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 19: little while, you can say that I said this. Forget
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 19: the fact that this guy's a bad dude. Forget the
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 19: fact that this guy is a gangbanger. Forget the fact
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 19: that this guy has been arrested and released, only released
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 19: because of the laws that Kathy Hochul has put into place.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 19: Let's put all of that aside. I've worn the uniform.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 19: I've been in situations like that. When somebody is driving
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 19: a car at you, that is considered deadly physical force.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 19: And we are taught Obviously, there's an escalation of force,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 19: but we are taught that when you are presented with
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 19: deadly physical force, you respond with deadly physical force. That's
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 19: the basics of it. It doesn't even matter what he's
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 19: done or anything like that. The fact is, now we
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 19: know that, yes, he was a gangbanger. Now we know
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 19: that he was a drug dealer. Now we know that
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 19: he's been arrested a bunch of times and released because
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 19: of Kathy Hochul's crappy laws. Now we know that he
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 19: was in this country illegally. illegally. It doesn't matter who
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 19: was in the backseat. That's his fault. He shouldn't have
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 19: been driving around being a perp and here illegally with
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 19: a five-year-old in the backseat. The fact is that we
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 19: shouldn't be Monday morning quarterbacking any agents or any law
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 19: enforcement professionals until the investigation is conducted and that is
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 19: being done. But on the basics of it, when you
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 19: just look at what happened, you have a The 2,000-pound
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 19: vehicle being driven towards you, that's deadly physical force. If
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 19: anybody in this country can tell me that they can
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 19: get hit by a car and survive or think that
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 19: they survive, well, then they can explain as to why
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 19: that's not deadly physical force. The agents had to make
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 19: a split-second decision. We've had this conversation before, and I
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 19: stand by it.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 6: There's very....
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 19: Few cops that dislike, you know, good cops dislike bad
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 19: cops the most. And the fact is, is that mostly
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 19: no cops go out there to do the wrong thing.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 19: They're making split second decision knowing that you're going to
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 19: have elected officials and people like Kathy Hochul and Zoran
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 19: Mondami and others who are not going to have your back.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 19: And I say this all the time, and I'm going
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 19: to say it right now. We have never had a
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 19: better friend to law enforcement, not just federal agents, not local, state.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 19: We have never had a better friend to law enforcement
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 19: than we do right now with President Donald J. Trump.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 19: And these individuals and this situation will be investigated. They
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 19: will find the facts. If people did something wrong, they
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 19: will hold them accountable. But by the first view of it,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 19: the fact is that when you're getting a car driven
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 19: at you, that can kill you. So you meet physical
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 19: force with equal physical force, and that's what happened. The
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 19: fact is that Kathy Hochul should be defending law-abiding citizens,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 19: the people who can't walk around New York City anymore
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 19: because they're afraid of what's going to happen. That's who
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 19: she should be defending. But instead, the real sad part
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 19: about this is she's pandering. to the lowlights who she's
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 19: trying to get their votes from to say that this
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 19: is all ISIS fault.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 6: Nonsense.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 19: The fact is that she's created a less safe place.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 19: She's embracing people like Zoran Mondami who want to dismantle
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 19: and defund the police. And destroy any working relationships between
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 19: federal agencies and local agencies. That's the stuff that she
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 19: believes in. Her stupid idea of putting signs in Times Square,
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 19: this is a no-gun zone. It's the dumbest thing I
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 19: have ever heard. I've taken hundreds of guns off the street.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 19: Never once have I... Cased after someone with an illegal firearm.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 19: And when it was all done, they came to me
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 19: and said, oh, by the way, here's my gun permit.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 19: It's so ridiculously stupid that that's the problem is that
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 19: she keeps pandering to certain individuals.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 10: She's wrong.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 19: The fact is, is that Bruce Blankman has continued to
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 19: invest in Nassau County Police Department, in our Sheriff's Department,
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 19: in our Corrections Department. He has worked every single day
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 19: with these collaborations to make Nassau County safer. And people
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 19: see it. I'm on the ground in Nassau County. I
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 19: hear from Democrats, from independents who say, hands down, Bruce
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 19: is and has worked with the police department to make
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 19: Nassau County as safe as it can. The proof, the
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 19: proof is there, right? He hasn't raised taxes. Nassau County
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 19: people want to come. I mean, one last thing. She
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 19: tried to criticize home values in Nassau County. I think
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 19: she said the average home in Nassau County is nine
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 19: hundred and something thousand dollars. Where two and a half
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 19: years ago, it was $ 650, 000. And again, Bruce made a
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 19: perfect point. So you're criticizing me because two and a
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 19: half years ago, you spent $ 650, 000 on a house, and
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 19: now your investment is worth $ 950, 000? That's a pretty damn
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 19: good play.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 6: Why?
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 19: Because people want to move to Nassau County. It's a
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 19: solid investment. It's a place where your kids want to
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 19: go to school. It's a place where you want to
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 19: get kept safe. And, you know, if he can mirror
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 19: what he's done in Nassau County throughout New York State,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 19: we will make New York great again. And I think
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 19: Bruce did a fantastic job on the debate last night.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 8: So do I. Anthony D'Esposito, it's always great to have
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 8: you this morning, buddy. You know I love you. I'm
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 8: in total agreement with you. I think the exact numbers
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 8: were $ 600, 000 to $ 850, 000, but either way, the values of
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 8: the homes in Nassau County going up. Anthony, great job
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 8: as always. Thank you so much.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 6: All right, Sid, be good.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 8: God bless you. Anthony D'Esposito right there, my dear friend, and,
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 8: of course, once again, the general inspector for President Trump's
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 8: Labor Department. Peter King coming up next, and we'll go
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 8: to Mike Lawler. Then we will go to the man himself.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 8: Bruce Blakeman will be here at about 8.50 this morning.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: Sid and friends.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 3: In the morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 8: Let me get to the great congressman, Giuliani King, King Giuliani,
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 8: any way you want to put it. Two best politicians
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 8: in my lifetime here in New York, and I'll be
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 8: 60 in April, are Peter King and Woody Giuliani. He's
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 8: here every Wednesday. Peter, good morning, buddy. How are you?
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 26: Come on, he said, listen, you'll be 60 in April
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 26: if you make it. You know, the way you're going,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 26: your heart would be, you're going to blow up, I'll
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 26: tell you.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 8: You're really on fire. You're right. I was so worried
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 8: that after October 7th, some maniacal terrorist in New York
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 8: was going to kill me. Now I'm worried, like you said,
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 8: my heart's going to blow up because I'm angry about
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 8: so many things and happy about so many things and
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 8: excitable every morning, happy about what I saw from Bruce
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 8: Blakeman last night. I know you were out there with
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 8: Joe Cairo and Patty Ryder and Anthony D'Esposito at one
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 8: of my favorite places, Humberto's. Tell me what you saw
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 8: last night, Peter.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 26: I'd say it was like a massive boxing performance. Spruce
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 26: controlled that debate from beginning to end. He was jabbing.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 26: He was hitting with hooks. He totally controlled the pace
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 26: of it. And for somebody who's been in a lot
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 26: of debates, who's been in politics a long time, I
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 26: never saw anybody in a major fight control it from
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 26: the opening bell the way he did. It was just
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 26: total control. He dominated the debate. He controlled the narrative.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 26: He had every issue. He made it go his way.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 26: They should have gone his way anyway. But often it
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 26: can be hard to articulate it when you have like
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 26: one minute or 30 seconds. He was able to do it.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 26: And you're right. She just never seemed to get started.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 26: I think part of it is there's a lot of
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 26: different reasons. The main one is Bruce has run almost
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 26: his whole life in Democratic areas. So he's used to
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 26: dealing with both sides of an issue. knowing how he
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 26: has to be forced to articulate his position. He can
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 26: do that. Kathy Hochul lives in an echo chamber. All
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 26: she hears is other Democrats, other people who hate Trump,
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 26: other progressives and left-wingers like Mandami. So I don't even
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 26: think she was ready for what Bruce was going to do.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 26: Come after her, Ron. She should have had much better
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 26: defenses than that. Certainly on Cornell, she just wasn't ready.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 26: And Bruce, he didn't miss a trick.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 10: He was great.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 8: I'm glad you brought up Cornell because a couple times
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 8: last night, I'm sitting at my kitchen table with Danielle
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 8: and Gabriel. I got up and I did a Phil
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 8: Simms fist pump. And I did one of those when
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 8: he said, Hey, Kathy. Aren't you on the board at Cornell?
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 8: You're so worried about this young lady. We all are.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 8: We all are, of course. But we also know that
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 8: both Kathy Hochul and the corrupt attorney general who she
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 8: put on this case as a special prosecutor, Letitia James,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 8: have already, they've already indicted and tried and found guilty
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 8: these seven guys. They may be guilty. We don't know yet.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 8: She's already tried this case. He goes, aren't you on
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 8: the board at Cornell? Where were you? Where the hell
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 8: were you, Kathy? I thought that was a big moment
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 8: for Bruce last night.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 26: Yeah, because she went beyond the case itself. Earlier now,
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 26: she's talking about this whole culture that has developed. So
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 26: she was basically finding Cornell guilty, and yet it turns
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 26: out she was a trustee during the time this whole
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 26: culture was supposedly developing.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 6: You're right.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 26: We don't know what happened. There's a lot of mixed
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 26: versions of what happened. And I do know that I
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 26: had constituents of mine who were named in that so-called
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 26: Duke rape case years ago, and they were all exonerated
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 26: after their lives were ruined. So it's a terrible thing
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 26: to what happened had to be wrong one way or
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 26: the other. We don't know the full story yet, but
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 26: the fact is until the verdict is in, you shouldn't
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 26: have people like Letitia James prejudging it. And Kathy Hochul
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 26: is acting so pompous and ceremonious about a, a culture
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 26: of rape that was developing when she was a trustee
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 26: at the school where she claimed it was, it was, uh, prevailing.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 26: So now this was, uh, Bruce went out and he
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 26: did it in a very straightforward, dignified way. He didn't
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 26: try to, uh, highlight the issue, but she brought it
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 26: up and he went after her on it. And again,
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 26: it's so much like you and Trump. I mean, this
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 26: whole thing of Trump to this Trump to that, it
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 26: became like a Johnny one note.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 6: It was embarrassing.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 26: I don't blame a Democrat.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 26: Take a shot at Donald Trump and get it over with. But, uh, again,
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 26: she went over and over, which to me showed she
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 26: had nothing in her bag of tricks. And then at
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 26: the end, I was, uh, Bruce had the opportunity to
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 26: bring up Mandami early, but think of this at the end.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 26: You have the mayor of the city of New York,
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 26: the most powerful and important city in the world, and
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 26: Bruce calls him anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, everything, and she didn't
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 26: make one attempt to defend him, and she's admitting she's
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 26: traveling around the state with a guy. Just think of that.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 26: I mean, she stood there silent when he called her
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 26: biggest supporter and the mayor of New York an anti-Semite, anti-Christian,
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 26: anti-American person. So to me, talk about scoring a technical knockout.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 26: I mean, she was just on the ropes defensively.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 8: You know, he did knock her out. It wasn't even technical.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 8: It was a hard right Mike Tyson hook, and he
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 8: knocked her out. And, you know, he mentioned it once.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 8: I would have gone there two or three times, but
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 8: he did mention it. Look, at the end of the day,
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 8: Peter King, if Kathy, baby, if you're doing such a
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 8: great job, I'd look right in the face. Baby, if
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 8: you're doing such a great job, why does our state
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 8: lead the nation in out-migration work? They are running out
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 8: of this state. They're running away from this state. So
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 8: if you're doing such a great job and we're safer
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 8: and we're number one in economic growth and all these
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 8: things are great, why does your state, Kathy baby, lead
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 8: the nation in out-migration?
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 26: Yeah, I mean, that is actually the bottom line. That
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 26: is the key issue. We're the empire state. We should
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 26: be leading the nation. Instead of, oh, we're leading the nation,
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 26: it's people leaving here. And the people who leave it,
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 26: for the most part, are the people who provide the jobs,
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 26: who provide the incomes, the people who keep the state
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 26: alive and keep New York City alive. So it's totally counterproductive.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 26: It's her policies. And I shouldn't even say they're her policies.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 26: They're the policies that are forced on her by the
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 26: progressives in the assembly in the senate and she is
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 26: unable to prevail i never heard one thing about new
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 26: york it is a strong governor's office every governor we've
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 26: had like them or not they've been powerful andrew cuomo
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 26: was powerful mario cuomo was powerful pataki was very powerful
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 26: you know it's al smith fdr Tom Dewey, it's all
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 26: in Rockefeller. The governor's office in New York is built
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 26: to be strong, unlike in some states, and yet she
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 26: gets dominated by these left-wing wackos in the Assembly and
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 26: the State Senate and by the mayor of New York.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 26: I mean, the mayor of New York usually lives at
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 26: the mercy of the governor. Instead, we have a situation
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 26: in our state, in the county local, where she lives
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 26: at the mercy of an anti-Semitic, anti-American, just a horrible
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 26: human being as mayor of New York.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 8: Well said, Peter King. And these Long Island guys keep
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 8: kicking her ass, whether it's Lee Zeldin from Suffolk County
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 8: or Bruce Blakeman from Nassau County. These Long Island guys
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 8: keep kicking her ass. I do want to switch gears, though,
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 8: because no one knows more about this than you. I
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 8: had a conversation off the air with Brian Kilmeade this morning,
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 8: and he was upset. I mentioned this earlier, too, to
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 8: which Lowry, that the United States stopped the Starlink in
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 8: the efforts to help Ukraine win this war against Russia.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 8: What are your thoughts with that specific piece of news
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 8: and that conflict overall?
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 26: I think Donald Trump is making a terrible mistake here. Listen,
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 26: it's not just Ukraine. The thing is Ukraine... is right
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 26: now in the forefront. They are the ones being attacked
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 26: by Russia. And we can agree or disagree with NATO
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 26: over the years. The fact is, for 80 years, led
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 26: by America, NATO and the United States stopped Russian aggression.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 26: And as a result of that, we've had the longest
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 26: period of peace in Europe in centuries. We had two
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 26: world wars in the U.S. after World War II said enough.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 26: We're going to set up NATO. We're going to be
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 26: the leader. And we stopped Russian aggression. The only wars
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 26: you had in Europe over the last 80 years or
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 26: in the Balkans and in Northern Ireland. And Bill Clinton
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 26: ended both of those. Other than that, NATO stood strong.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 26: I have problems with NATO. I have problems with Europe.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 26: But I never thought I'd see the day when Europe
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 26: was doing more to resist Russian aggression. I don't know
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 26: what it is, why President Trump has this. I think
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 26: somehow he thinks in terms of power politics. that the
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 26: United States, Russia, and China, and countries like Ukraine are
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 26: just getting in the way. The fact is, to me,
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 26: I compare Ukraine to Czechoslovakia. I compare those countries before
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 26: World War II that Hitler took over. I'm not saying
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 26: history is the same, but it does repeat itself in
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 26: many ways. And Putin, why President Trump gives in to Putin?
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 26: I mean, Putin is not complied with the one request
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 26: made by President Trump. Zelensky has complied with all of them,
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 26: and yet he gets somehow denounced. So I think... President's
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 26: making a mistake. I think part of it is he
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 26: believes if you deal in big power politics, you can
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 26: control it. You can't control Putin. He will keep going
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 26: until someone stops him.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 8: You're right. Final 60 seconds, Peter, as a man that
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 8: has served this state proudly for four decades and still
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 8: lives here on Long Island. You could be living in
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 8: a nice little place by your daughter, Erin, there in Charlotte,
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 8: wherever she is in North Carolina. But you stay here
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 8: because you still love New York City. When you look
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 8: at the beating, the beating that Blakeman delivered Hoko last night,
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 8: and more importantly, that was just one night, the years
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 8: of failure, the out-migration, the high taxes, still high crime,
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 8: energy prices up the kazoo while Pennsylvania enjoys reaping benefits.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 8: She's been awful. If, in fact, God forbid, God forbid
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 8: she wins, at that point, Peter King, do you lose
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 8: all hope? in New York?
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 26: I don't even want to think about that because Bruce
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 26: has to win. I'll tell you, it was really a
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 26: great feeling of pride last night. I've known Bruce and
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 26: his family. His father was my assemblyman in Queens years ago.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 26: He's a great guy to see him at the state
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 26: level dominate the governor of the state of New York
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 26: and know that he's going to be elected in three weeks.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 26: That was just a great moment for me and everyone
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 26: in that room last night. We've known Bruce for years.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 26: That guy was one of ours and he did it
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 26: and he's going to even do better.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 8: I agree with you. Peter King, I love you. Great
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 8: job as always. Really terrific job this morning. And savor
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 8: the day. Your friend Bruce Blakeman is coming up with
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 8: me after Lawler in about 30 minutes. Great job as always,
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 8: Peter King. Thank you so much.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 6: Thank you, Sid.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 8: God bless you. Peter King right there, the amazing former congressman,
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 8: Homeland Security, just a great American, great guy, and so
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 8: valued out there on Long Island. Him and Joe Cairo
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 8: both do a tremendous job. We'll take a break. We've
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 8: got the news for you. Then we've got three amazing
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 8: guests in a row.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 8: For example, Andrew Cuomo. Okay, let's take Andrew Cuomo because
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 8: everybody hates him, I guess. I don't know. Curtis actually
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 8: handed Mom Donnie the raise. The truth is, is that Andrew,
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 8: very good on television, very good on radio. Guy's got charisma.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 8: He's got all that. Now, he was a terrible governor.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 8: People died in this state. He made some decisions that
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 8: Kathy Hochul is still paying for today. You know, you
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 8: talk about paroling cop killers. That's Cuomo. Shutting down all
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 8: the mental institutions so crazies roam our streets. That's Cuomo.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 8: Cashless bail. That's Cuomo. You know, it's cute that he
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 8: gets to go on Fox News and he did a
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 8: show here. And heck, even he and I hung out
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 8: together during that mayoral race because I knew what Mamdani
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 8: to win. And I would still take Cuomo over Mamdani.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 8: Ten days a week, I'll take Cuomo over Mamdani. But
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 8: truth is, He did some. horrible things as governor, but
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 8: he does have some strengths, right? First 10 days, COVID,
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 8: he was like a president. This dope that's in Albany
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 8: right now, this Kathy Hochul, doesn't look good. I know
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 8: that's shallow. But man, is she ugly. I'm sorry. That's right.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 8: I said it printed. I don't care. She's stupid. She's
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 8: a liar. She is owned, owned like a slave by
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 8: Mamdani and the progressive Democrats and the DSA. She has
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 8: not had one idea yet that's hers that helps New York.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 8: The one idea she had recently was, let me add
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 8: Letitia James to the Cornell case while the attorney general
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 8: has already, already Come out with her verdict. Those guys
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 8: are guilty. I mean, she's just dumb. There's not one
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 8: part of her game. Some guys can shoot free throws.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 8: Some guys can play good defense. Some guys are deadly,
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 8: 20 feet out, Bernard King, 10 feet to the baseline, deadly.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 8: She doesn't have one part of her game where I
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 8: can say, you know what? She's pretty good. She is
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 8: a complete failure. Mike Lawler, Bruce Blakeman and Mark Wayne Mullen.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 8: How's that for a big time trio?
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 3: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 11: You know, I want to congratulate my good friend Sid
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 11: Rosenberg on his induction into the New York State Broadcasters
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 11: Hall of Fame.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 8: You know, he's pretty great, but he's not the best. Nobody.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 8: is better than your favorite president, Donald J. Trump, okay?
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 8: I should be inducted into the Hall of Fame, too.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 21: Now, Sid, it's Mike Lawler. You know I love you.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 11: Congratulations on being inducted into the New York State Broadcasters
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 11: Hall of Fame. You are one of a kind, a
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 11: New York original.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 8: I got to tell you, Lawler, your Trump is as
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 8: good as anybody else in the business today. Like Danielle said,
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 8: if this Congress thing doesn't work out, go to SNL.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 8: Do Trump every Saturday night. How about that?
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, Sid Rosenberg, okay.
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 11: He's not as good as the great one, Mark Levin.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 10: But he's one of the best.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 6: A true New York original. Okay.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 11: He does a great job taking.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 6: On Zoran Mamdani. Okay. We don't like him.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 20: I mean, I kind of like him.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 6: I meet with him every now and then, and it
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 6: really pisses it off.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 21: It pisses him off so bigly.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 11: And, you know, it's okay.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 6: It's okay.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 20: He still loves me.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 8: You are so good at that.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 11: It's called stream of consciousness, Sid. You just say whatever
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 11: the fuck's on your mind.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 8: Oh, my God. And I got to tell you, the
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 8: guy that actually said to me that he appreciates your
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 8: President Trump impression as much as anybody. You'd never guess
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 8: this in a million years. In fact, it was the
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 8: second thing he said to me. First, he told me
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 8: that Donald Trump Jr. really likes me. Second thing he
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 8: said was, you make him laugh. The current vice president, J.D.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 6: Vance.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 8: Right, and didn't you make him lamp on an airplane
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 8: right back from Dallas or somewhere where you guys were together?
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 8: I did.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 27: I did when I flew back on Air Force Two
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 27: with him after the convention to get back in time
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 27: for all the 9-11 ceremonies. That was the only way
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 27: I was getting home. And he was gracious enough to
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 27: let me fly back. And, you know, I I broke
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 27: out my Trump to him and he he loved it.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 8: He loved it. You made quite an impression. So, look,
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 8: I've got Bruce Blakeman coming up next. And it was
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 8: not even close last night. A lot of that was
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 8: because Bruce is terrific and. He knows what he's doing
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 8: and he was prepared and knew the issues and every issue.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 8: He did not have to mention Mamdani or Trump to
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 8: beat her. But part of the reason why Bruce was
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 8: so great last night, I'll be honest, was... She was
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 8: so terrible. I mean, I thought Lee Zeldin beat her
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 8: up pretty good. She may have been worse last night.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 8: I said, Mike Lawler, earlier this morning, I said, the
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 8: only debate performance I've ever seen that may have been
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 8: worse was Biden versus Trump. You got to admit, Mike,
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 8: she is terrible on that debate stage. Terrible.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 20: Terrible. She's a fucking moron, Sid. Look, Kathy Hochul is the.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 11: Most inept, incompetent, feckless governor in America. She has bent
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 11: the knee to Zoran Mamdani and the radical socialists. All
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 11: she cares about is being reelected. She doesn't care one
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 11: iota the impact of her policies on New Yorkers. whether
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 11: it's the cost of utilities, which have risen 58 percent
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 11: in six years because she shut down nuclear power. She
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 11: banned natural gas extraction. She blocked pipelines. She required all
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 11: electric construction. And then she shocked that utility rates went up. Well,
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 11: when you limit the supply, you idiot, of course, utility
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 11: rates are going to go up. So, you know, you
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 11: look at that issue, you look at her new sanctuary
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 11: state policy.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 20: I mean, I'm sorry.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 11: The media in this state is so pathetic and so
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 11: such an embarrassment to New Yorkers. they should be hammering
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 11: her over one simple fact. She keeps saying this is
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 11: about civil immigration enforcement and that we want local cops
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 11: doing local jobs, keeping our communities safe. How the hell
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 11: do you keep our communities safe when you refuse to
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 11: honor 16,000, 16,000 detainer requests on criminals and you release 7,000
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 11: convicted criminal illegal aliens back out onto the street, including
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 11: 29 murderers.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 20: Somebody explain to.
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 11: Me how the fuck that makes sense, how that policy
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 11: is even allowed to exist in the state of New
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 11: York to put criminals back out onto the streets who
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 11: are in this country illegally. And she has the audacity
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 11: to gaslight New Yorkers and stand on stage and lie
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 11: to their faces and And Errol Lewis and Susan Arbetter
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 11: say nothing. They let her get away with it. All
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 11: of the New York press corps is an absolute disgrace.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 11: They never question this woman about her straight up lie
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 11: when it comes to putting criminals back out onto the
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 11: streets because she doesn't want to honor the detainer request.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 8: That's right.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 11: She says, she says, oh, no, we cooperate on criminals.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 6: Bullshit.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 20: You do not.
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 11: How is it that you release rapists, murderers, gangbangers, drug dealers,
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 11: gun traffickers? For the life of me, there is not
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 11: one person who can articulate why that is a sensible policy.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 20: And yet these same people have.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 11: The audacity to go defend a criminal with a rap sheet.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 11: you know, pages and pages long.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 8: That's right.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 20: Okay.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 11: Who they don't want ice to get him off our streets.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 11: The guy pulled a machete on his neighbors.
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 11: I mean, drugs on our streets and they don't give
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 11: a crap.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 8: Right. Even if you want to criticize ice, which I
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 8: never do. I never do. Mark Wayne Mullen will join
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 8: me in about an hour. But if you want to
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 8: do that, that's fine. But then you come out and say,
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 8: you're Mayor Mamdani. You're actually going to brag that you
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 8: called President Trump and Mark Wayne Mullen to put this
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 8: gang-banging drug dealer, violent offender back on the streets with
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 8: my children, your children, Mike? I mean, what is he, nuts?
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 11: This is the same mayor that wanted Nicolas Maduro to
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 11: be released from federal custody. A man who's been indicted
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 11: multiple times for... for the deaths of thousands of Americans
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 11: due to the drug trade, the illicit drug trade that
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 11: he has fueled from Venezuela into the United States. And
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 11: he called for him to be released and then calls
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 11: for Bibi Netanyahu to be arrested.
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 20: So are you really surprised?
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 8: No, I'm not surprised.
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 11: And he wants to let a gang-banging drug dealer out
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 11: onto the streets?
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 8: No, I'm not. You know, it's interesting. There were some
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 8: people last night that said to me, Bruce was great,
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 8: but man... I almost wish Elise Stefanik would have stayed in.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 8: She really would have killed them or her, I should say,
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 8: or Mike Lawler. I don't even think about anybody else.
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 8: I am very, very proud of Bruce. I think Bruce
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 8: has run a tremendous campaign while at the same time,
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 8: at the same time, doing a great job as a
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 8: Nashville County executive. So you did, you did kind of,
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 8: you know, look into running for a while there until
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 8: it became very, very clear that President Trump really needed
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 8: you in Congress. And You're a great American and a patriot,
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 8: so you stayed there. But you tell me, are you
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 8: proud of Blakeman's performance last night? And what do you
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 8: think so far about his campaign?
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 20: Oh, yeah, of course.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 11: Look, Kathy Hochul is a disaster and she has run
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 11: this state into the ground. We have the highest tax burden,
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 11: the worst business climate. We lead the nation in out migration.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 11: In my district, she has a 60% disapproval. I mean,
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 11: my opponent, Kate Conley, can't run away from her fast enough.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 11: Bruce is running a strong campaign. He needs resources. People
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 11: should go to his website and donate to him. We
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 11: have to defeat Kathy Hochul. This state is the greatest
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 11: state in the country. It has been destroyed by feckless,
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 11: incompetent leadership. Democrats control everything in Albany, everything in New
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 11: York City. The Cost of living is through the roof,
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 11: whether it's housing costs, whether it's healthcare costs, whether it's
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 11: energy costs. These are directly attributable to the policies that
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 11: they have enacted. When you increase state spending by over
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 11: $ 100 billion since Kathy took.
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 20: Office, it's outrageous. We spend more than double.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 11: The state of Florida. The city of New York now
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 11: spends more than the state of Florida. The city of
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 11: New York has 8 million people. Florida's got 23 million people.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 11: And yet the city of New York spends more than them.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 11: How is that feasible? People have to look at what
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 11: is happening in our state. You can like or dislike
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 11: Donald Trump, but I'm sorry, every answer to the question
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 11: can't be Donald Trump. Kathy Hochul offered nothing last night.
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 11: No accountability, no responsibility, no admission of the disaster that
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 11: is the state of New York under her leadership. Every answer,
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 11: like Tish James last week, was Donald Trump. They know
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 11: nothing else. It's the only thing that they can run
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 11: on because they can't possibly defend their incompetent leadership.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 8: True. Before I let you go here, I want to
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 8: talk about your race. And boy, this Kate Conley turns
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 8: out is getting crazier and crazier as you get closer
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 8: and closer to your big election, Mike. And I think
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 8: you're going to win. I really don't be shocked. Shocked
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 8: if you didn't. You've been such a great congressman for
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 8: so many years. And she's a lunatic. She just says
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 8: she agrees with all of these DSA people, all of them.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 8: She likes Mom Donnie, Kate Conley. She likes Kathy Hochul.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 8: So what is the latest in your race against Kate
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 8: Conley up there in Rockland County?
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 20: Look, we're 20 days away.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 11: This race is critical to determining control of Congress. We
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 11: are in a $ 60 million battle, and we need every
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 11: penny to help get over the finish line. So if
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 11: folks want to support us, they should text Mike to
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 11: 85007 or go to LawlerForCongress.com. But Kate Conley has said
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 11: on over 20 occasions that the greatest threat to America
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 11: are the people that voted for Trump and Republicans, a
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 11: greater threat than al-Qaeda and ISIS, a greater threat than China, Russia,
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 11: and Iran. That is totally disqualifying. It's outrageous and unbecoming
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 11: of somebody who seeks to serve in the United States
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 11: House of Representatives. This is a woman who wants to
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 11: raise taxes by four trillion dollars. She wants a government
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 11: takeover of health care. She supports local sanctuary state policies.
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 11: And last night we had a candidate forum and she
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 11: was asked very pointedly by a voter, do you support impeachment?
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 11: And she tried to hem and haw and skirt around it.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 11: And then she said, but I do support impeachment of
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 11: Pete Hegseth.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 11: And so when it was my turn to speak, I said.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 11: That's great that you are trying to walk back impeachment
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 11: of the president. However, three weeks ago, when the media
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 11: asked you point blank whether or not you would have
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 11: voted yes on impeachment.
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 20: In Congress, you said, yes, you would.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 11: And we have it on tape. And she said, no,
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 11: I didn't.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 20: And I said, yes, you did.
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 11: And she's like, no, I didn't. And I said, we
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 11: have it on tape. I will release the tape in
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 11: the morning. So folks should go to our social media accounts, Lawler4NY,
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 11: this morning.
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 20: It will be released.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 11: Of her on tape saying she supports impeaching President Trump.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 20: She will be a disaster.
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 11: For this district.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 20: She will deliver nothing.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 19: I have.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 11: worked tirelessly. I've been continually rated the most bipartisan and
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 11: effective members of Congress. I'm the only sitting member to
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 11: be endorsed by a member of the opposing party. Jared Golden,
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 11: a Democrat from Maine, has endorsed me. I've been endorsed
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 11: by local Democrats precisely because I deliver. I get things done.
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 11: I can work across the aisle, but I'm not afraid
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 11: to stand up and fight for my district. When I
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 11: agree with the president, I say it. When I disagree
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 11: with him, I say it. I've passed over two dozen bills,
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 11: 17 of which have been signed into law. Ask AOC
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 11: how many bills she's had signed into law.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 20: I do the job. I do the job.
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 11: And that's why I'm going to win on November 3rd.
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 20: And I'll tell you this, Sid.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 11: My opponent moved up here for the sole purpose of
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 11: running for Congress. She owns a house in Virginia. She
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 11: does not own a house in the district. She doesn't
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 11: pay taxes. And when I kick her ass on November 3rd,
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 11: she's going to move back to Virginia just as quick
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 11: as she came.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 8: All righty. That's what I want to hear. Mike Lawler,
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 8: amazing appearance this morning. As always, thank you for that
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 8: beautiful video for my Hall of Fame induction next week.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 8: I love you so much. Lawler for New York. Is
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 8: that the number four or F-O-R?
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 11: Lawler4NY is the number four, is our social media handles. LawlerFORCongress.com
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 11: is our website. And you can also text Mike to 85007.
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 8: Mike, great job, buddy. I love you. Thank you so much.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 8: That was terrific.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 8: All right, pal. Mike Lawler right there, the Mr. Salt,
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 8: as President Trump calls him. President Trump loves him. King
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 8: of Rockland County.
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 2: Good evening, Governor, and thank you to everybody out there
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 2: that's watching this debate. It gives me an opportunity to
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: speak directly to you and your families about issues that
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 2: are important here in New York State that affect you
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 2: each and every day. As I travel across the state,
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 2: and it's a beautiful state, everywhere I go, people are
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 2: telling me how they're struggling, struggling to pay their bills,
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 2: and they're worried about safety in their communities. Under Governor Hochul,
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 2: we are the highest taxed state in America. Our utility
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 2: bills are 70% higher than the national average, and because
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 2: of policies like cashless bail, people feel unsafe in their
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 2: own communities. As governor, I will cut taxes, I will
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 2: cut your utility bills in half, and I will create
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 2: safer communities just like I did in my own county
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 2: in Nassau County. And let me say this. Kathy Hochul
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 2: has spent $ 8 billion of your money on illegal migrants
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 2: for free food, free housing, free transportation, and a free
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 2: cell phone. That's your money that she spent on people
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 2: who aren't New Yorkers. I believe she's got her priorities
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 2: upside down. So I'm going to ask you to vote
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 2: for change. What have you got to lose? And vote
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 2: for a better New York.
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 8: Bruce Blakeman, Bruce, congratulations. That was a whooping you put
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 8: on that lady last night. How do you feel today?
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 6: Well, I feel great because I was able to articulate
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 6: the issues that everyday people face in New York State.
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 6: You know, it's really sad. The once great Empire State,
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 6: people feel helpless. They feel like they have a state
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 6: that doesn't listen to them, that doesn't address their needs.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 6: Our taxes are out of control. Our utility bills are
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 6: out of control. Jobs are leaving our state. People feel
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 6: less safe in their homes, in their communities. You know,
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 6: we can turn that around and make this, again, the
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 6: once great empire state where people feel safe in their communities,
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 6: where there's good jobs with good benefits, good pay, and
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 6: people feel good about being New Yorkers, not the way
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 6: they feel now. So I want to make people happy.
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 6: Kathy Hochul has made them miserable. It's time for a change.
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 8: Time for a change. You know, I'm very, very critical
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 8: on this show. I know you've heard it, Bruce. I
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 8: don't like him. I think he's a bad guy. He's
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 8: a Democrat. He sides with people like Mamdani, AOC, Kathy Hochul.
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 8: Don't like him. I don't know anything about this Susan
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 8: lady that was out there last night, too. But I'm
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 8: going to say something right now that's going to shock
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 8: my listening audience. I thought they were pretty fair last night.
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 8: In fact, I thought some of their more difficult questions
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 8: were posed at Hochul. What did you think of the
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 8: mediators last night?
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, listen, I had no problem with the moderators. I
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 6: thought they did a good job. Yes, I know their
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 6: political persuasion, but I thought they tried to be fair.
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 6: The only quibble I have is they never addressed Kathy
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 6: Hochul and her asinine and, quite frankly, racist statement that
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 6: black kids in the Bronx don't know what a computer is.
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 6: If a Republican had said that, It would have been
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 6: front page news. They would have harped on it. What
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 6: was Kathy Hochul thinking when she said that? You know,
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 6: I don't know that Kathy Hochul even understands her own
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 6: education system because in New York in sixth grade, they
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 6: get computers in the school and they have one-on-one training
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 6: on computers. So why did she single out black kids?
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 6: I wanted to know that. I was hoping the moderators
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 6: would probe her on that. Why did you say that
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 6: about black kids? Why did you say that upstate voters
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 6: were unsophisticated? I mean, Kathy Hochul is an elitist and
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 6: maybe a racist because she thinks she knows better than
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 6: everybody else, and she looks down upon people. And that's
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 6: what I think was the only thing that was lacking
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 6: from the moderators. They didn't press her on that. As
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 6: a matter of fact, they tried to cut me off
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 6: when I talked about it. Right.
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 8: You did bring it up, both of those issues that
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 8: upstaters are stupid and black kids are stupid. You did
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 8: bring it up, to your credit. But you're right, they
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 8: did not move any further with that. Now, look, we
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 8: all knew, you and I talked about this. I talked
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 8: about it yesterday with Pataki and Bob Holden and others.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 8: We knew that she was going to play the trump card. Okay,
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 8: we knew it. But I'm sorry I was watching your
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 8: face and you kept smiling because you couldn't believe it yourself.
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 8: I don't think anybody, anybody, Bruce Blakeman could have predicted
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 8: she would utter Trump as many times as she did. One,
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 8: it says she wasn't prepared. She was completely lost. That's one. Two,
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 8: nobody in this world suffers from TDS more than her.
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 8: But were you shocked as I was how many times
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 8: she actually said TDS? President Trump's name?
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 6: You know, one of my friends said to me after
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 6: the debate last night, she should be grateful that Trump
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 6: is president. Otherwise, she would add nothing to say last night.
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 6: So I mean, Trump, Trump, Trump, listen, Trump didn't raise
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 6: our taxes. Trump didn't make our utility bills 70% higher
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 6: than national average. Kathy Hochul approved 48 rate hikes. And
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 6: for those of you who live in the city or
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 6: the suburbs, It was Kathy Hochul that raised your fears
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 6: 21 times in four years. It wasn't Donald Trump. But
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 6: you can talk about Trump all she wants. And as
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 6: I said in the debate, she talks about Trump because
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 6: she won't be able to defend her record because it's
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 6: a record of failure and misery.
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 8: Well, you did also say, and I got to give
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 8: you some credit for this because you may get yelled
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 8: out later, that, you know, you have differences with Trump.
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 8: You know, you talked about being pro-choice. So am I.
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 8: I'm also pro-choice. You talk about other policies that you like,
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 8: including immigrants that have been, you know, migrants that have
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 8: been good and law-abiding migrants which have an opportunity to
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 8: stay here and not get kicked out. So you mentioned
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 8: a couple of differences. You had a philosophy with President Trump.
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 8: And at one point you even said that you thought
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 8: that Dwight D. Eisenhower was the best president ever. Are
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 8: you worried that Trump may text you and say, hey, Bruce,
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 8: I love you. What was that?
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 6: No, what I said was his term isn't over. He's
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 6: got two more years. So the report card, I believe,
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 6: is an A. I give him an A. But his
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 6: term isn't over. He can do even greater things going forward.
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 6: But Dwight D. Eisenhower's report card is in. And I
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 6: think by all accounts, he's probably one of the top
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 6: eight presidents ever. So the question was asked, who is
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 6: the greatest president in my lifetime? Well, the first president
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 6: in my lifetime was Dwight D. Eisenhower. And I've said
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 6: over and over again, you know, that I support President Trump.
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 6: I support him. I endorse him. I worked hard for him.
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 6: But again, this race is not about Donald Trump. This
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 6: is about Kathy Hochul. And her record, and it's about
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 6: my record of cutting taxes, making a more prosperous county,
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 6: and having the safest county in America. I'll put my
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 6: record next to Kathy Hochul's, compare the two, and any
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 6: fair-minded person that compared my record with her record is
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 6: going to vote for me.
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 8: A hundred percent. So Mark Wayne Mullen's going to join
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 8: me in about 30 minutes, Bruce. And he's been railing
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 8: at Mom Donnie that Mom Donnie's going on and on
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 8: about this Oscar Bellagal creep. You know, he's like a
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 8: George Floyd type of guy. Same creep, you know. And
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 8: that's all she wanted to talk about last night. You
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 8: did a great job pointing out. Wait a second. I
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 8: had two ladies in my community, two different homes. Their
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 8: throats were slashed. They were murdered, okay? You brought up
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 8: Sheridan Gorman, the lovely young lady, Mike Lawler's neighborhood, shot
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 8: to death in Chicago. Nothing. Richard Williams, Vietnam vet, he
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 8: survived cancer. He survived World War II, excuse me, and
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 8: he was thrown to his death on the subway tracks.
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 8: You brought up all these great examples, Bruce, of beautiful Americans,
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 8: that were cut down, lives cut short by illegal aliens.
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 8: And she's out there, her mom, Donnie, and others, trying
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 8: to protect Oscar Belgal. She don't want to hear it.
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 8: All she wanted to talk about was the five-year-old that,
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 8: by the way, was unharmed in the backseat of the car.
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 8: I thought you killed her on that policy last night.
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 6: Well, what about the 14-year-old girl who was raped by
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 6: a legal migrant? Sid... That girl's life is changed forever.
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 6: And Kathy Hochul couldn't even apologize to that girl or
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 6: her family. She hasn't returned Sheridan Gorman's calls. She never
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 6: said anything about the two women who were murdered by
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 6: an illegal migrant in my county on the same day.
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 6: You know, I just have to wonder, why is she
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 6: protecting these criminals? What is the basis of her wanting
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 6: illegal migrants in our communities? And I think the answer
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 6: is you just have to see the position of her
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 6: lieutenant governor candidate, Adrian Adams, who says illegal migrants should
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 6: be able to vote in our elections. So let's bring
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 6: as many illegal migrants in because they know that at
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 6: some point Democrats are going to wake up. Independent voters
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 6: are going to wake up and Republicans are going to
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 6: get out to vote and they're going to change fundamentally
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 6: the politics of this state because the left wing of
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 6: the Democratic Party, the socialist wing, is out of control.
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 6: It's being controlled by people who hate America and hate
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 6: our values.
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 8: You know, you also did a terrific job, Bruce Blakeman,
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 8: with the energy argument. He said, hey, look, in Pennsylvania, Democrats,
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 8: Josh Shapiro, right? They're driving around by the border because
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 8: they take advantage of their own energy in fancy Mercedes
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 8: or Cadillacs. Here, you go right over the border to
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 8: New York, and they're driving 25-year-old beat-up pickup trucks because
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 8: we're paying Pennsylvania when we've got it right here in
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 8: New York. Now, maybe I'm wrong. I thought I watched
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 8: every second very, very closely. I did not hear at
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 8: any point her make an argument for her stance or
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 8: beat your argument. Did you?
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 6: She was blaming Trump. What does Trump have to do
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 6: with the fact that she approved 48 rate hikes that
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 6: she takes money out of your utility bill payment every
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 6: month to put in a slush fund, the green energy scam,
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 6: to invest in science projects like wind turbines in the
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 6: middle of the ocean or solar farms under snow in
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 6: upstate New York. And we're not extracting the natural gas
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 6: that we have over 100 years supply of here in
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 6: New York State. I mean, it's just bizarre what her
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 6: energy policy is. And then she says there's not enough
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 6: energy for data centers. So that's why she banned it.
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 6: You've created a situation in our state, an atmosphere where
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 6: we are going to have rolling blackouts. We're not going
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 6: to be able to produce enough energy to support the
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 6: grid and just do the right thing. We have natural
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 6: gas in abundance. Just let them extract that natural gas
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 6: like they do in Pennsylvania. We'll reduce our energy bills
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 6: in half and we will have energy security issues. And
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 6: we will create prosperity and jobs. That's exactly what I'm
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 6: going to do when I become governor.
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 8: Oh, that's a big, big deal. Oh, come on. She
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 8: kept talking, too, about all the money she's invested to
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 8: keep us safe. Well, dummy, maybe. You would have to
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 8: invest billions and billions of dollars to keep us safe
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 8: if you hand over 16,000 detainees to ICE. You said
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 8: it last night, and again, you were on the money.
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 8: In Nassau County, we cooperate, okay? And they're not going
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 8: into churches and schools and homes, all the lies that
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 8: the Democrats say. They're not doing any of that. And
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 8: you've had no incidents. She made up one story. You've
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 8: had no incidents in Nassau County. We have them all
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 8: the time here in New York City. Why do you
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 8: think that's the case? And I thought once again, the opportunity,
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 8: she failed.
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 6: Well, she never talked about the two ICE agents that
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 6: were murdered. And maybe that's the reason why. ICE is very,
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 6: very careful and cautious about people who are convicted criminals
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 6: in this country illegally and try to run them over
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 6: with their car. Why didn't they just stop, get out
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 6: of the car? But here's the point, Sid. Let's not
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 6: get lost on all of the details. Let's get down
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 6: and synthesize it to its simplest form. He never should
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 6: have been in this state.
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 8: Bottom line.
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 6: He's an illegal migrant with a criminal record. He's a gangbanger.
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 6: And he's now out on pending charges for peddling poisonous
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 6: drugs to our kids. Get him out of this state.
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 8: You know, she's a liar, too. I mean, and you
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 8: got upset at one point last night. You were upset.
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 8: I know you. You're like my brother. And you handled
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 8: yourself well. But when she said, you're hanging out with
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 8: white supremacists?
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 20: What?
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 8: You're like... What? She also lied about what you said
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 8: about Medicaid. You never said you wanted to slash it
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 8: in half. She also lied about what you say about
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 8: Jessica Tisch when she talked about that secret meeting about
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 8: anti-Semitism when they finally put up Mamdani's name. I mean,
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 8: I wrote down five or six times last night, Bruce Blakeman,
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 8: where she flat out lied about you.
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 20: Lied.
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, she had nothing positive to say about
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 6: her record. And that's the bottom line. You know, Sid,
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 6: she's been governor for almost five years now. She never
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 6: talked about any of the good things that she did.
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 6: It was either Trump or lies about me. Did I
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 6: hang out with white supremacists?
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 8: I mean, come on.
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 6: I mean, first of all, I love everybody. And you
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 6: know that, Sid. I don't care whether you're black, white, Latino, Asian.
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 6: I don't care about your religion, your lifestyle, you know,
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 6: what your abilities are. I like people. I'm around people
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 6: all the time because I like them. Kathy Hochul, she
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 6: drove into the debate last night. I don't know if
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 6: you saw this, Sid.
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 8: I saw it.
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 6: She drove into the debate. Right into a garage. And
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 6: you know what? She had supporters there. Strangely enough, she
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 6: had supporters. She didn't even wave to them. She didn't
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 6: get out and say hello. I walked over to my supporters.
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 6: I shook their hand. I thanked them for being there.
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 6: She doesn't like people. I like people. I like people
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 6: for what they are, not the way they look.
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 8: It's true. And that's why people love you.
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 6: They do.
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 8: Two more will let you run. Have you heard from
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 8: President Trump since the debate last night?
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 6: No, he was in Alaska. So that's a lot of
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 6: time zones away. I'm sure that we'll talk this week.
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 6: He's a busy guy. He's out there rallying the troops.
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 6: And look, let me say something to everybody out there,
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 6: because I know your reach is very far. It goes
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 6: beyond New York.
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 8: Thank you.
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 6: Vote Republican this year. Even if you don't love the
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 6: Republican candidate, vote Republican in our congressional races, the U.S.
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 6: Senate races, the governor's races, because the left-wing socialist DSA
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 6: Democrats have taken over the Democrat Party, and these people
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 6: are anti-American. And if they get into office and they
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 6: get a majority in the Congress or the Senate, we're
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 6: in deep, deep trouble. Yep, we are. Just get out
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 6: there and vote Republican. If you don't like the Republican candidate,
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 6: for whatever reason, just hold your nose and vote Republican
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 6: so that we have a Republican majority in the Senate.
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 6: And Mike Johnson continues on as the Speaker of the House.
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 8: Oh my God, that's right. Hakeem Jeffries, what a mess
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 8: that would be. I know you, there were seven invitations.
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 8: Every major network wanted to do a debate. She only
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 8: agreed to one. I got to be honest, after watching
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 8: her against Zeldin years ago and watching you wipe the
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 8: floor with her last night, now I know why, Bruce Blakeman,
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 8: she only agreed to one. If I'm her, I don't
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 8: go anywhere near a debate stage again, but it does
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 8: show what a coward she is.
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, She picked the smallest media outlet. It's
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 6: a totally New York City-centric media outlet. And the bottom
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 6: line was, I agreed to NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox 5, CNN,
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 6: you name it. I would have gone on any media outlet.
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 6: She would only agree to Spectrum. So that was my
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 6: only opportunity. But I took her up on it. I
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 6: had a great night. I felt great. My supporters felt great.
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 6: And I would have to think that she had a
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 6: very bad night last night.
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 8: I would think she didn't sleep all night. So last one, Bruce.
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 8: Somebody said to me yesterday, they said, you know, people,
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 8: they all know who Kathy Hochul is, but still not
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 8: everybody knows who Bruce is. And you're right, you didn't
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 8: get the exposure you could have gotten if she would
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 8: have agreed, and again, she's a coward, to do it
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 8: on a major network. But still, many, many people probably
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 8: saw you last night that are not completely familiar with you,
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 8: especially New York One, because it's basically a communist Democrat channel.
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 8: Are you waking up this morning feeling like your chances
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 8: are better than winning tonight? that you will win, I
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 8: should say, than you felt yesterday morning?
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 6: Well, let me say this. Yesterday, another poll came out
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 6: that had us in a virtual dead heat, and I
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 6: felt confident all along that we were going to win.
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 6: But you know what? It's always good to get a
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 6: debate under your belt and know that you did a
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 6: good job, that you articulated the issues, and that you
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 6: had the better position to And you made the better
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 6: argument for being governor. So I do think that any
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 6: fair-minded person who watched the debate last night, any undecided person,
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 6: would have to conclude that I would definitely be a
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 6: much better governor than Kathy Hochul.
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 8: 100%. And now tomorrow night you get Bruce Blakeman, Sid Rosenberg,
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 8: James Dolan, and the world champion New York Knicks.
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I'm hoping some of their mojo rubs off
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 6: on me.
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 8: You don't need it. You were really spectacular last night,
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 8: and you made all of us very, very proud. You
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 8: run a tremendous campaign while still doing a great job,
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 8: mind you, running Nassau County. You are going to win.
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 8: You're going to win, Bruce Blakeman. Last night, like you said,
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 8: real clear who the person should be in Albany come
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 8: January of 2027. That person is Bruce Blakeman. Bruce, I
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 8: love you. Great job last night. Great job this morning.
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 8: Thank you so much.
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 6: God bless you, Sid.
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 8: God bless you, too. I love you, too. Bruce Blakeman
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 8: right there, ladies and gentlemen. Fresh off his amazing appearance
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 8: last night in that debate against Kathy Hochul. Still to come,
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 8: I mean, big names all morning long. He's been railing
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 8: about Mamdani in New York City, and he runs DHS.
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 8: Mark Wayne Mullen is still going to be here. Keep
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 8: it right here, Wednesday edition.
• 2:02:58

• 2:03:11
  Speaker 8: show next week, next Thursday. You can't stay and do
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 8: Greg Kelly's show because you got to be at that
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 8: Hall of Fame by 11 o'clock. And I don't want
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 8: to hear you guys. You can't come. I mean, you
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 8: guys are the backbone right here. So three of you. Cool.
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 8: Because I don't think Nolan is coming. But the three
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 8: of you, Lewis for sure, Justin and Noam, need to
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 8: be there at 11 o'clock. So get somebody else to
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 8: run the board for three hours. I don't know. But
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 8: I don't want to hear any of that next week.
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 8: That would really piss me off.
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 1: Are you first? Do you know who's going?
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 8: I'm last. Oh, you are. They literally said, and Alec,
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 8: if I'm wrong or if I'm making something up, correct me,
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 8: quote the Vanessa Williams song, we save the best for last.
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 8: Yes or no, Alec?
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 19: Sure. Sure.
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 8: God, you're an asshole. You're not invited. Forget it. Run
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 8: the board for Kelly and shut up. We've got to
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 8: take a break. Mark Wayne Mullen, the amazing DHS secretary.
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 8: I really love this guy. He has lowered the boom
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 8: on Mayor Mamdani in this ice shooting in Marble Hill
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 8: last week. Mark Wayne Mullen.
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 8: I'm not even going to see Mark when he's on
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 8: the phone right now. That's where he is. He's on
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 8: the phone. But just knowing I was going to talk
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 8: to him, I did an extra 20-minute arm workout yesterday.
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 8: That's when you know I'm a sick bastard. But that's
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 8: why Mark Wayne Mullen loves me.
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 21: I think I knew a long time ago.
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 8: Well, you didn't. You know for 25 years.
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 21: If that's your confirmation.
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 8: And Trump knows. Trump knows people 30 years. But Mark
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 8: Wayne just got to know me. But he loves me already.
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 8: I know he does. Isn't that true, Mark Wayne Mullen?
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 10: This is true. You got me laughing. I will say those.
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 10: I got a little bit of humbleness today because I
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 10: went and rolled with her. uh with our one of
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 10: our competition combative teams with the national guard this morning
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 10: wow there's a bunch of meatheads in there and my
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 10: head and my neck filled it um so i i've
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 10: definitely felt my age so while you're working your arms
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 10: making yourself look good i was taking a piece of
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 10: humble pie down the throat i'm.
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 8: Sure you did great you're being humble you're you're not
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 8: you are you're in phenomenal shape god bless you you really.
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 10: Are yeah but not with a bunch of 20 year
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 10: olds in the sport.
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 8: I'd love to do that though that sounds like fun
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 8: i gotta be honest So Saturday morning, I send out
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 8: this tweet, and I tag you, and I tag President Trump,
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 8: and I'm going on and on about Oscar Belgal. I go, listen,
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 8: there are people critical of ICE. How could I tell you?
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 8: They're stupid people. But in the end, whether you're critical
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 8: of ICE or not, if you're the mayor of New
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 8: York City, Why would you want a gang-banging, drug-dealing, convicted
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 8: felon who's had some violent history? Why would you want
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 8: that guy on the streets? You can be critical of
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 8: ICE all day long. Again, I think you're stupid. That's
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 8: one thing. But why would you want to put this
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 8: animal back on the streets of New York? So I
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 8: tagged you and Trump. You know, Trump texted me in
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 8: five minutes. I swear to God, Mark. He texted me.
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 8: Tom Holman texted me. He saw the tweet. But that's
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 8: the truth. What in God's name is wrong with this mayor?
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 10: It's true. But when I was talking to the mayor,
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 10: the president talked to the mayor Thursday night. I talked
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 10: to the guy Thursday night. And to be fair, he
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 10: was cordial but unrealistic. He wanted us to walk away.
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 10: Because what the president wanted to do is he wanted
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 10: to hand the guy over to the NYPD's finest. Is
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 10: that what he says? He says NYPD's finest. And because
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 10: the guys are on probation for– forget this. I'll give
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 10: you his record. Four charges of felony robbery, two charges
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 10: of felony assault, felony larceny, misdemeanor larceny, misdemeanor assault, weapons possession,
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 10: stolen property, and two felony charges for drugs. And by
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 10: the way, this is since 23, and he's only been
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 10: in the country since 23.
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 19: Wow.
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 10: So he was on probation– For three years, and this
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 10: is obviously a probation violation that he had because he
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 10: had already ran for office in September. We knew that,
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 10: and so now we're detaining him, and he weaponized his
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 10: vehicle and tried to assault police officers and rammed a
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 10: couple of federal vehicles. So we were saying, listen, we'll
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 10: turn him over to– and this is President Trump. President
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 10: Trump told the mayor this, and he asked me to
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 10: see if I could negotiate it. And I said, well, okay, mayor,
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 10: we'll turn him over to you, but you have to
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 10: keep him in custody while the investigation is going, and
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 10: once the investigation goes– Then we get him back and
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 10: we press federal charges. And he said, no, he wants
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 10: us to walk, quote, walk out of the hospital and
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 10: leave him. So you're wanting us to return this thug,
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 10: this dangerous criminal, back to the streets. And he says,
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 10: I'm afraid for your safety, for your ICE agent's safety.
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 10: There's going to be mass chaos when you try to
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 10: leave the hospital with him. And I was like, sir,
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 10: we'll take care of ourselves. We can flex with HSI.
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 10: If you're telling me that you're not going to allow
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 10: NYPD to get us to our vehicles, we will get
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 10: to our vehicles. I promise you that won't be a problem.
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 10: I'm not afraid for our safety. But I appreciate your
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 10: gesture there. And so I called the president back, and
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 10: I said, President, he's wanting us to release the prisoner altogether,
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 10: and NYPD is not going to take him. They're going
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 10: to release him immediately back on bail again, which he's
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 10: already on probation for. The president's like, absolutely not. Um, and, and,
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 10: and then when they got, when the mayor went to the,
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 10: went and did the, the podium, um, you know, charade
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 10: and try to do the press conference and just was
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 10: throwing ice underneath the bus and throwing everybody at the bus.
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 10: I was sitting there listening to this and I was going. Wait,
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 10: where was this a week ago, now it's been a little,
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 10: it's been over a week, when the NYPD officer, by
• 2:08:59
  Speaker 10: the way, in the Bronx, so the same area, was
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 10: stabbed seven times by also two individuals from the Dominican
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 10: Republic who was also here illegally, who also have extensive
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 10: long criminal backgrounds, who was also released and put on
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 10: probation back on the streets, and we also had a
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 10: detainer on. And the New York City wouldn't authorize it.
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 10: Where was all this outcry at that time?
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 10: It didn't exist. I mean, here, if you think that
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 10: the public would be upset, they would be upset at
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 10: criminals walking their streets and attacking NYPD's finest. Yet you
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 10: didn't see it. And you definitely didn't see the mayor
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 10: or the governor coming out in support of the officer.
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 8: One hundred percent. And I don't care that he was
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 8: cordial to you. He's a devil. OK, he's a very,
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 8: very bad man.
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 10: Hey, listen, the devil can be very sweet and nice. Remember,
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 10: the devil can show up in all types of different entities.
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 8: So thank you.
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 10: You can see you can see right through it. I
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 10: just didn't want to say the guy was hateful. I
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 10: know it's not fair words.
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 8: No, of course.
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 10: But that doesn't mean and logically in him. And I
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 10: told him this. I said, listen, we just adamantly disagree
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 10: on what law enforcement looks like. And we spoke multiple
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 10: times over a two-hour period. And the president, honestly, was
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 10: trying to work with him, too. But here's a bigger
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 10: number that people need to understand. In the state of
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 10: New York, as you and I speak, we have 16,070 detainers. 1,000
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 10: or 16,070 detainers. on individuals that are illegally in this
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 10: country that are currently arrested and charged or either have
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 10: already picked up felony charges and they are serving their
• 2:10:46
  Speaker 10: time in New York State penitentiaries. And none of them
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 10: have been honored. It represents 52,503 criminal charges.
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 19: Mm-hmm.
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 10: And yet they will not. And these are all illegals.
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 10: This means there are 16,770 people that the taxpayers in
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 10: New York City is paying to house that we could
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 10: ship out right now and ship them to another country
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 10: where they came from because they have no right to
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 10: be in this country. And they are criminals. I'm talking
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 10: about murderers, child molesters, drug traffickers, gangbangers, the worst of
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 10: the worst. and New York State and New York City
• 2:11:29
  Speaker 10: won't turn them over to us.
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 8: Tom Holman comes here a lot. He's so frustrated. And look,
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 8: I put this in the tweet, too. Belgao gets shot.
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 8: He doesn't die, okay? The five-year-old in the back of
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 8: the car, he's okay, thank God. We've had a couple
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 8: of incidents. Preddy was killed, but Preddy... Should never have
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 8: been there in the first place. Same thing with good.
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 8: You can count on less than two hands, Mark Wayne Mullen.
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 8: Less than two hands, the incidents where people ended up
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 8: injured or dead. And in none of those cases, none
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 8: of those cases were those people dragged from church. dragged
• 2:12:01
  Speaker 8: from school, dragged from their homes. They were out there
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 8: causing trouble. In the meantime, you just talked about it.
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 8: There are thousands and thousands and thousands of examples of murderers, rapists, pedophiles,
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 8: drug dealers that were removed from our country because of
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 8: your heroic work. I mean, the numbers aren't even close.
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 8: Why isn't this an easy argument for us?
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 10: We have 250, I think it's 58, but I'm using that.
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 10: I don't see the number in front of me, but
• 2:12:30
  Speaker 10: I think it's 258, but it's over 250 illegal aliens
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 10: right now in detention that had murder charges on them.
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 10: That's in the state of New York, by the way.
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 10: That's in the state of New York. Not one single
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 10: time has the mayor came out or the governor come
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 10: out and said, hey, thanks for getting these people off
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 10: our streets. Because guess what? Who didn't get them off
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 10: the streets was New York. We did it. It's not
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 10: that the law enforcement doesn't want to. From state to
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 10: city and county, they want to do their job. They
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 10: just arrest these individuals and they're released immediately. And we
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 10: have to go by and pick them up. If they
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 10: don't want to see us having... this type of activity
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 10: on their streets, then they should cooperate with us. And
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 10: one thing we should all agree on is, Bill, that
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 10: these individuals that have been convicted of crimes and that
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 10: have committed crimes that are here in this country legally,
• 2:13:24
  Speaker 10: there should be no argument that they should not be
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 10: released back into their streets because they're illegal to begin with.
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 10: It is absolutely absurd. And then let's talk about the
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 10: five-year-old that the mayor and the governor and everybody wants
• 2:13:38
  Speaker 10: to talk about. Listen, we had no idea the five-year-old
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 10: was in the vehicle. But as a father of six kids,
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 10: I would do anything to protect my children. I would
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 10: never put my children in harm's way. But who did
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 10: know who was in that– the five-year-old was in that
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 10: vehicle was Oscar. And Oscar was clearly given– clear instructions
• 2:14:02
  Speaker 10: and we identified ourselves to exit the vehicle. He knew
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 10: we were looking for him because he had just ran
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 10: a month before. And he chose to accelerate. He chose
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 10: to put himself and his five-year-old son, at least they
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 10: say it's his son, in danger. That tells you enough
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 10: about how selfish of an individual Oscar was, because you
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 10: and I and any other dad or mother would have
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 10: never put our kids in that position.
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 8: Oh, God, no. I'm a tough guy. I would have
• 2:14:30
  Speaker 8: started to cry and walked outside the car. I would
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 8: have been like.
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 10: I would have immediately started saying, hey, my kids are
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 10: in the car. My kids are in the car.
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 8: Right, don't do anything. Right, you got me. Final 30 seconds,
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 8: Mark Wayne Mullen. Is New York the worst of all
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 8: the states with this?
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 6: Um.
• 2:14:47
  Speaker 10: I would say that's tough. Chicago's pretty tough.
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 10: I don't know if I can say that.
• 2:14:53
  Speaker 8: Minnesota.
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 10: San Francisco's tough. Minneapolis has actually done a really good job.
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 10: Minneapolis turned the page. They're actually working with us because
• 2:15:01
  Speaker 10: regardless of what you see, the people of Minneapolis, the
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 10: people that are actually there for the right reason, they're
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 10: sick of this and the Somalian community that is just
• 2:15:08
  Speaker 10: terrorizing them. So they're starting to work with us. But
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 10: we have New Jersey. It's pretty tough. um you know
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 10: new york is it is it's it it is the
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 10: mayor there does not does not work with us well
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 10: at all no um so massachusetts areas you know boston
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 10: there's there's some pretty tough areas areas but chicago new
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 10: york probably gets the most attention because that's where the
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 10: media is and so media responds to it really quick
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 10: but to say that they're the worst would be their,
• 2:15:41
  Speaker 10: their death. One of the worst, but I don't know
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 10: if I would say the worst.
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 8: All right. Listen, man, you're great. You got a bomb.
• 2:15:46
  Speaker 8: So happy. President Trump put you in this position. You're,
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 8: you're tough. Mark Wayne Mullen, you're tough. You're smart. And
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 8: we love you in this job. So stay safe. Keep
• 2:15:54
  Speaker 8: doing what you're doing. God bless you. Okay, pal.
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 10: Hey, next time, the next time you're in here in DC,
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 10: you and I should grab a workout.
• 2:16:00

• 2:16:02
