  Speaker 2: On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Congratulations especially to Sid Rosenberg on his induction to the
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame. I can't believe
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: he didn't make it years ago. Today, Sid forever joins
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: a roll call of some of the greatest legends in
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: the history of New York broadcasting and talk radio. the
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: best in the business, and he's the best in the business.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Over many years, Sid has distinguished himself as one of
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: the most authentic and recognizable voices in American airwaves. And
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: he's built a smart, loyal, gigantic audience. And I happen
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: to be one of those people in the audience. And
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I had for a long time, long before I became president.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: New York's sky-high energy prices are becoming a focal point
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: ahead of Election Day. Both the Democrat and Republican candidates
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: say they've got a plan.
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: Yes, there's an election, but I cannot stop listening to
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: New Yorkers. And if I can give them relief from
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: something that is frustrating them, show that we care, that
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: we're listening.
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: We will get rid of the green energy scam, and
• 1:11
  Speaker 6: we will open up our own natural gas resource that
• 1:14
  Speaker 6: we have here in abundance in.
• 1:16
  Speaker 7: New York State.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: Governor Kathy Hochulz starts with sending New Yorkers an energy
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: rebate check. conveniently slated to arrive less than two months
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: before Election Day. Exclusively on Inside City Hall, the governor
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: pitched her energy rebate checks, soon to hit 8.2 million
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: New Yorkers' mailboxes, and touted expanding eligibility requirements for the
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: state's energy affordability program that gives discounts.
• 1:39
  Speaker 8: On monthly bills.
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: I'm not giving up on my quest to drive down
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: our costs, but also holding utilities accountable.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: Formerly limited to low-income families like those on food stamps.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Since January, heads of households can apply if they are
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: below the area median income. Like in the five boroughs,
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: single tax filers making up to.
• 2:03
  Speaker 9: $ 113, 000 can apply.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Meanwhile, in Queens' Howard Beach neighborhood.
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: This is a big election year scam. Kathy Hochul thinks
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: we're stupid, and we don't know that she's trying.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: To buy votes.
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: because she knows that her utility bills have skyrocketed.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: GOP candidate and Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman promised he'll
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: slash energy bills in half by eliminating New York's ban
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: on the oil and natural gas extraction process known as fracking.
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: We'll be able to cut utility bills significantly by opening
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: up the Marcellus Shale, by doing both, increasing our supply
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: of natural gas. We could see relief within the first
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: six months in office. First of all, it'll take about
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: two months for them to become operational, so we'll start
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: doing that immediately.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Also a big player in this year's election, President Donald Trump,
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: who has his own national rebate plan aimed at keeping
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: control of Congress.
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: Wouldn't you rather have $ 5, 000 in your pocket than $ 100?
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: So what's the difference?
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: This is a continuation of what I've done for years.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Describing the last phone call.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: It's probably been over a month, though. We talked a
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: little bit about Penn Station. We talked about my nuclear ambition.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: I asked him at the time if he could leave
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: the Haitians alone. You know, the TPS was expiring, and
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: that didn't go very far.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Focused on her own re-election and kneecapping a Hudson Valley
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: congressman favored by Trump.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: This year we're going to take the seat that will
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: soon be formally held by Mike Lawler. Kate Connolly will
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: win that seat. I'm very confident of that.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Mike Lawler. This lunatic you're running against is Kate Connolly.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I did bring up AI earlier. Correct me if I'm wrong,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: but I think I read this on your Twitter. Did
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: she not cash in? on a whole bunch of AI
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: contracts over the years? And was she also not for
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: data centers not that long ago?
• 3:49
  Speaker 10: Well, she steered contracts while she was running.
• 3:54
  Speaker 11: CISA in the election division for.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: The Biden administration.
• 3:58
  Speaker 10: And she cashed out on her way out the door.
• 4:01
  Speaker 10: She talked about how she wanted to finally go make
• 4:03
  Speaker 10: some money. And boy, oh, boy, did she make some money.
• 4:05
  Speaker 10: I mean, she's been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars
• 4:09
  Speaker 10: by AI and big tech over the last two years
• 4:12
  Speaker 10: in these no-show jobs that basically allowed her to move
• 4:17
  Speaker 10: up here.
• 4:17
  Speaker 12: For the sole purpose of running for Congress.
• 4:21
  Speaker 10: And, you know, a few months ago, she was touting
• 4:24
  Speaker 10: how we need data centers and they're not going anywhere.
• 4:27
  Speaker 10: And now she's trying to run away from that and.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Say, no, no, I'm against them.
• 4:31
  Speaker 12: I want a moratorium.
• 4:33
  Speaker 9: You know, I mean, at the end of the day,
• 4:35
  Speaker 9: she's just.
• 4:37
  Speaker 10: Typical, you know, finger in the air.
• 4:40
  Speaker 12: See which way the wind is blowing.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: There she is.
• 4:43
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 4:44
  Speaker 14: The rapper Macklemore was bumped from a U.S. concert tour
• 4:47
  Speaker 14: for pro-Palestinian comments and some say crossed a line into prejudice.
• 4:51
  Speaker 14: Now four additional artists have quit in solidarity and the
• 4:54
  Speaker 14: big headliner, Ed Sheeran, is breaking his silence.
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: Here's CBS's Carter Evans.
• 4:59
  Speaker 15: Megastar Ed Sheeran is responding to the controversy consuming his
• 5:03
  Speaker 15: current tour, posting,' Macklemore' coming off the tour was the
• 5:06
  Speaker 15: promoter's decision. It was not mine. I would never let
• 5:10
  Speaker 15: down the fans. His statement comes one day after the
• 5:13
  Speaker 15: Grammy-winning rapper was removed as an opening act for speaking
• 5:17
  Speaker 15: out on stage.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I said free Palestine. I want those words to be
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: loud and clear so the people from Gaza all the
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: way to the occupied West Bank know that we have
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: not forgotten them.
• 5:32
  Speaker 15: After Macklemore was forced out, four other acts have chosen
• 5:35
  Speaker 15: to drop out. Phineas posted, artists must not be silenced
• 5:39
  Speaker 15: when they speak up for the oppressed. Bioga posted, as
• 5:42
  Speaker 15: founding members of the Irish Artists for Palestine movement, we
• 5:45
  Speaker 15: are committed activists for justice and will continue to be.
• 5:48
  Speaker 15: Macklemore and Sheeran have toured for more than a decade.
• 5:51
  Speaker 15: The rapper has long been a champion for the disadvantaged.
• 5:54
  Speaker 15: When I interviewed him in 2018, Macklemore told me he
• 5:57
  Speaker 15: leverages his celebrity to promote issues he's passionate about.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: It comes from a place of struggle.
• 6:02
  Speaker 16: It comes from opening up the heart and transmitting what's
• 6:06
  Speaker 16: inside of you.
• 6:07
  Speaker 15: Sheeran's most recent tour grossed nearly $ 900 million. In addressing
• 6:12
  Speaker 15: the fallout, he posted, I spent this week trying to
• 6:15
  Speaker 15: build bridges to find a solution, and unfortunately, I was
• 6:18
  Speaker 15: unable to do so. In a statement, McElmore said that
• 6:21
  Speaker 15: Sheeran told him New England's Patriot owner Robert Kraft had
• 6:25
  Speaker 15: rallied other stadium owners and said if McElmore stays on
• 6:28
  Speaker 15: the tour, then they wouldn't be allowed to play in
• 6:30
  Speaker 15: their venues. CBS News reached out to Kraft for a
• 6:33
  Speaker 15: response to that allegation and the promoter, Messina Touring Group.
• 6:36
  Speaker 15: but did not hear back before airtime.
• 6:38
  Speaker 17: What has happened with the act, and not just in
• 6:40
  Speaker 17: removing Macklemore from the lineup, but when you see what
• 6:43
  Speaker 17: Robert Kraft did to line up all of the stadiums,
• 6:48
  Speaker 17: to censor speech in that one specific way, it's become
• 6:53
  Speaker 17: clear that this is not just about one music artist
• 6:57
  Speaker 17: or two music artists, but this is about how just
• 7:01
  Speaker 17: a handful of stadium owners and the elite can prevent
• 7:06
  Speaker 17: an entire massive issue, in this case the genocide in Gaza.
• 7:11
  Speaker 18: Right.
• 7:12
  Speaker 11: No.
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: You're stupid.
• 7:13
  Speaker 19: You're stupid.
• 7:30
  Speaker 20: Relationships, a lot of important partnerships in NATO, but that
• 7:34
  Speaker 20: doesn't mean that we're going to completely make our European
• 7:37
  Speaker 20: foreign policy subservient.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: To NATO in the same way that we cannot let
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: our Middle Eastern foreign policy be subservient to the State
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: of Israel. We're going to work with people when.
• 7:46
  Speaker 15: We work with them, we're going to disagree when we disagree,
• 7:49
  Speaker 15: and we're going.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: To pursue America's interests.
• 7:50
  Speaker 19: That's the only way to have a rational foreign policy.
• 7:53
  Speaker 16: So the great Sid Rosenberg is going to be heading
• 7:55
  Speaker 16: to Washington, D.C., to talk to J.D.
• 7:57
  Speaker 21: Vance.
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: And he's going to be dropping by to see the president.
• 8:00
  Speaker 16: We know the prime minister of Israel is a good
• 8:02
  Speaker 16: friend of his and talks about the impact.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Not only does this talk about.
• 8:05
  Speaker 16: The power of radio and the power of New York,
• 8:08
  Speaker 16: whatever you think of the city, it's still got tremendous power.
• 8:11
  Speaker 16: It just shows how much it matters leading up to
• 8:13
  Speaker 16: this election. The fact that the vice president of the
• 8:15
  Speaker 16: United States is that clued in to understand the power
• 8:18
  Speaker 16: of Sid Rosenberg, I think is.
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: A salute to the media. But I actually think it's
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: a real salute to.
• 8:24
  Speaker 16: Sid because he speaks his mind on a daily basis
• 8:26
  Speaker 16: with an informative, casual, conversational way, but absolutely from the heart.
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: That's why New York loves him.
• 8:33
  Speaker 16: Sid, I can't wait to find out what the vice
• 8:36
  Speaker 16: president and president had to say.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: You guys know Wollstone was killed in a tragic helicopter accident.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Minnesota put Walter Mondale in and my cousin Norm whacked him.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Norm also ran for governor. He beat Skip Humphrey, but
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: he did lose to Jesse Ventura. And eventually, his career,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Republican political career, ended in Minnesota at the hands of
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: that creepy comic gal, Franken. And we all know that
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: that election was rigged. And I'll say it. It was
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: rigged way before President Trump had issues with rigged elections.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: My cousin Norm did in Minnesota. But Norm is still
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: a major player in the party. George Bush, 43, loves
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: my cousin. And even though Norm, along with his late
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: great buddy Lindsey Graham, started as a never-Trumper, President Trump
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: loves Norm as well. So Norm runs this big event
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: with a guy named Matt Brooks in Vegas. And I
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: tell him, I go, I think I'm going to mention J.D.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Vance in my speech because I found out that J.D.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Vance was going to be the keynote speaker. A lot
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: of people were very upset in Vegas. Friday night, they
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: started complaining. Excuse me, Sunday night it started. Jews were complaining,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: and I spoke Monday afternoon, and even though I've admitted many,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: many times that I'm not a huge fan, of J.D. Vance,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I've been very critical of J.D. I'm on the air
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: 20 hours a week. I know you think you social
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: media tough guys. Some of you, my friends, do a
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: lot of talking. They don't care. When I say it here,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: clearly it matters, 20 hours a week. And I've been
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: very critical of J.D. But I did say in my speech,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: give Vance a chance. You remember that, Norm?
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: I do.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Give Vance a chance. And then when the speech was over,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I said, Norm, I just gave Vance a chance. So
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I expect when he arrives in Vegas later on today,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: before he takes the stage, that I'll be in the
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: green room to say, I've never met the guy. I mean,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I've got this unbelievably close relationship. It's surreal to me
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: with President Trump. Marco Rubio and I, you guys have
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: no idea. We've been friends for 16 years. Legitimately, Marco
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Rubio texted me three days ago when he ran for
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: his first Senate race in the state of Florida back
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: in 2010 against a guy named Kendrick Meeks. No relation
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: to Greg Meeks. And at the time, the governor... a
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: guy named Charlie Crist, his guy Alex Burgos down in
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Miami reached out to me. I ended up having on
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: a sports show, sports show in Miami, a debate with
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Rubio Meeks and Crist where I clearly favored Marco. Because Marco,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: big sports fan, loves the Dolphins, loves the Heat, loves
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: the Panthers, loves the Marlins, really loves Miami Hurricane football.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Even his wife, Marco Rubio's wife, was a Dolphins cheerleader.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Did you know that, Noam?
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: I did know that, yeah.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: So this guy, you know, he was a fan of mine.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I'm a fan of his. I put him on. And
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: he wins. He wins his Senate race. And not long
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: after that, in 2016... We get a phone call at
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: the radio station. I'm on the air. And it's from
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Senator Marco Rubio. And he was calling to tell me
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: that the United States had just taken out Osama bin Laden.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: We didn't book him. I didn't call him. He called
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: in unprovoked. So Rubio and I have been friends for
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: 16 years. He was on this show last summer. You remember, no?
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I've been invited to the Secretary of State's office in D.C.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: many times, the State Department many times. So don't tell
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: me about Marco Rubio. And no one knows Marco, at
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: least in this audience, like I do. OK, I love him.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: And if you said to me today, who do you
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: want to be the next president of the United States?
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: It's Marco Rubio. Have I ever minced words about that?
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: No, I have not.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: OK, Ted Cruz. I'm in Dallas last week. And Ted
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Cruz is was doing the Sean Hannity show, sitting there
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: with Susie Wiles and Caroline Leavitt, puts his hand over
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: his heart, practically blows me a kiss and thanks me.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: So I get it. These guys are my friends. They're
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: not your friends. They're my friends. And both of them
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I'd rather see in that position than J.D. Okay, that's
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the facts. That's the truth. But so going back to Vegas,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I go, I want to see J.D. Vance in the
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: green room. And my cousin says, OK. So about an
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: hour before J.D. Vance arrives, we're all sitting at dinner.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I go to my cousin. I go, what's going on?
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: He goes, yeah, listen, unfortunately, the vice president, his people,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: they're not ready for you. I go, what does that mean?
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: He said, well, they're aware of all your criticisms and
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: he's just not ready to see you yet. It's a process.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: I said, oh, really? Okay. So I sat there. I
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: watched J.D. Vance's speech. Very open-minded gnome. And the very
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: next morning, I was on my way from Las Vegas
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: back home to New York. Well, as it turns out,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the weather was bad in New York that morning, and
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: they redirected us to Los Angeles. You can't make this up.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: We had to get home from Vegas through L.A., which
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: is the other way, and sit in Los Angeles for
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: four hours. It was a brutal, brutal day. But I'm
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: in the airport in Vegas that morning, and I tweet.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Got to tell you, pretty disappointed in J.D. Vance's speech
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: last night. Once again, not very pro-Israel, not very strong Israel.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: And on top of that, I was told by the
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: powers that be that the vice president wanted no part
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: of me in the green room. I tweeted that. So
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I get on the plane to go to Los Angeles.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: It's about an hour and 15-minute flight. I land in L.A.,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: and my phone buzzes. It's a text from a 513
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: area code. Happens to be Cincinnati. And I have no
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: idea who this person is. This person, who will remain nameless,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: goes on to say, hey, Sid, how are you? Nice
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: to meet you. Don't be upset that I'm texting you.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: I got your number from Lee Zeldin. He's on my
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: plane right now. It's all true. He goes, but I
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: want to reach out and tell you I saw your
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: tweet this morning. And whoever said to you that the
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: vice president didn't want to meet you is wrong. Who
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: told you that? He goes, that's not true.
• 15:18
  Speaker 19: It's a lie.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: He goes, in fact, I am texting you this morning
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: to extend an invitation for you to meet the vice
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: president in his office in the West Wing of the
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: White House because J.D. would love to have a closed
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: door session with you. And I'm like, wow. I go,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: his name is Will.
• 15:41
  Speaker 19: I go, Will.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: You have seen and heard all my criticisms. Tucker Carlson, Israel,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: all of it. Ina Wernicke, trust me, I'm all over it, okay?
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I know Ina thinks she's telling me something I don't know.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: I'm all over it. I love Ina, don't get me wrong,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: but stop, okay? I get it.
• 15:57
  Speaker 11: So.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I go, you're aware of all that? And he goes, oh, yeah.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: We see everything. We hear everything. No hard feelings. We
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: want to meet you. I said, great. I'll be in
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Dallas next week. He said, well, that may be tough,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: but I'll contact you. So I'm sitting there Sunday night
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: watching my Giants play Dallas, and showing up about 9
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: o'clock Sunday night. I get a text from Will, and
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: he says, hey, how does Thursday at 3 p.m. look
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: for you? I'm like, wow. I said, I'll be there.
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: But you didn't say, well, hold on a second. It
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: can't be that easy.
• 16:32
  Speaker 22: Did you say, let me look at my calendar and
• 16:33
  Speaker 22: see if I have time to see the vice president
• 16:35
  Speaker 22: or not?
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: Because I might be busy. That's the day I get
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: my body shaved on the Upper West Side.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: You know, in retrospect, I probably should have done that.
• 16:43
  Speaker 11: You're right.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: But I'm like, nope, I'll be there. And not only
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: did I say I'll be there, but then I texted
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Margo Martin right afterwards and I said, hey, please tell
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: me the president will be in the White House on
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Thursday because I have a meeting with J.D. Vance. I'd
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: love to go by the Oval Office and say hello,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: which is going to happen. She had texted me back yesterday.
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: Oh, that's nice. But you were too easy.
• 17:04
  Speaker 22: I would have waited 45 minutes, an hour.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: Let me check with my people, see if I'm available.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: You know, you're right. So we talked yesterday, me and
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: this guy from Vance's office, and they're aware of all
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: my criticisms. It's the same that all you folks have, okay?
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Trust me, I'm all over it. But they be, listen,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: they deem me, I know it sounds crazy. Trust me.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: I find it harder to believe than any of you.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I still consider myself this goofy, doofy Brooklyn kid talking
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: sports on the fan, you know, watching football. I can't
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: believe that these people in these positions, whether it's Trump,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: who has some very serious conversations with me on and
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: off the air, BB, the vice president, like it or not,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: that's who I become. And they reached out to me
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: more than once, and I'm going to do it. And
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: it's not because I love J.D. I'm not going to D.C.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: tomorrow to endorse J.D. Vance, to lend my support to J.D. Vance, because, again,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: there are other nominees potentially, potentially in this primary that
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: I really like, starting with my friend of 16 years,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. much more pro-Israel than J.D.
• 18:27
  Speaker 13: Vance.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: But when the sitting vice president, okay, this is not clavicular,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: all right? This is not one of these social influencers
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: who our social influencers now bend over backwards to lend
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: some credibility to. This is the vice president of the
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: United States. And when he reaches out to me and says, hey,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: I want to talk, what moron's going to say no?
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: He knows full well that I'm angry with him. on
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: a bunch of issues. And again yesterday. He did it again.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: He did it again. I'm not going to name names,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: but the biggest names in our business, the biggest, were
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: texting me up to 1 o'clock this morning with this
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Heather Johnson tweet where J.D. Vance said yesterday, I guess,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: and I have no idea where he was, that the
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: United States... cannot continue to be subservient to these Middle
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: East countries, specifically Israel. Now, to me, if you're a
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: sports fan and a tennis fan, that's an unforced error.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Why even say that? Subservient to Israel? There's got to
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: be a better way for Vance to put that.
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: Now, he tweeted this out?
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: He said it. I played it in the open. It's
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: hard to hear the audio. No, but you have to
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: listen very carefully. I'm going to play it again right now.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Listen carefully. very carefully. He said we cannot let our
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Middle Eastern foreign policy be subservient to Israel. This is
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: cut number 13.
• 19:59
  Speaker 20: A lot of important relationships, a lot of important partnerships
• 20:03
  Speaker 20: in NATO.
• 20:03
  Speaker 9: But that doesn't mean that we're going.
• 20:05
  Speaker 20: To completely make our European foreign policy subservient to NATO
• 20:09
  Speaker 20: in the same way that we cannot let our Middle
• 20:11
  Speaker 20: Eastern foreign policy be subservient to the.
• 20:14
  Speaker 13: State of Israel.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: So there it is, okay. We can't be subservient. He
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: is sounding more and more like Tucker Carlson every day.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Every day. I'm not happy about that. But here's the deal.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Until my friend Marco Rubio actually says I'm running, some
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: people think he is. Some very, very smart people in
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the know told me yesterday. Some don't. They say, no,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: he won't do it. If J.D. runs, he's not going
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: to do it. If Marco jumps in today, just trust me.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Marco and I, we have a great relationship. You'll hear
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: plenty of Marco on this station. But he's not running
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: right now, okay? Ted Cruz is running, but in every
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: poll that you look at, Ted Cruz gets hammered, hammered
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: by J.D.
• 21:00
  Speaker 13: Vance.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: And I don't think President Trump is going to anoint
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Ted Cruz, but the odds are pretty good, pretty good
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: he's going to anoint J.D.
• 21:09
  Speaker 11: Vance.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: And I am a Republican first, a MAGA Republican person,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: even though a lot of you say J.D. Vance is
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: basically a Democrat. And again, I don't disagree.
• 21:19
  Speaker 13: I don't.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: But if he's going to be the nominee for our party,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, folks, I'm not going to endorse and
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: or vote for AOC, okay? Or Kamala Harris. I'll exclude
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom because he won't run if Harris runs. Any
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: one of these morons, these lunatics on the left, I
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: am not going to support them. So even though J.D.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Vance is not my favorite, he knows that. His people
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: know that. If there's no Rubio, if there's no Ted Cruz,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Glenn Youngkin's not beating him. Ron DeSantis is not beating him.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Then I have to endorse, vote, and support J.D.
• 21:59
  Speaker 13: Vance.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Does all that make sense, though?
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: It does.
• 22:01
  Speaker 22: And, of course, the reason he's inviting you down there
• 22:04
  Speaker 22: is clearly he is running because he wants to get
• 22:06
  Speaker 22: all these people in line long before he makes the announcement.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: 100% and get it in line before Rubio, Cruz, and
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: the rest of these people start to announce.
• 22:17
  Speaker 11: So.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Even though I've kind of intimated on this show, Noam,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: you've heard it, the last couple of days about this meeting,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I really haven't come out and said it's 1,000% going
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: to happen, I'm going to be there. But Miranda Devine,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: the best columnist anywhere in the world, she was on
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: this show yesterday, ironically, talking about data centers and AI
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: and how the Democrats, like Barack Obama, are sounding the alarm. Well,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: she was on this show yesterday, Miranda Devine, And she
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: was terrific, as she always is. And I told her
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: on the show, you guys heard it, about this potential meeting.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: She was so intrigued by it, so fascinated by it,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: that she spoke to me later in the day. I said,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: to be honest, Miranda, yes, I just got the confirmation.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: I'll be in D.C. 3 o'clock on Thursday, in all likelihood,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: right over to the Oval Office afterwards. So last night,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Miranda Devine tweeted, and she's got a lot of followers saying,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Another sign, to your point, Noam, another sign VP Vance
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: is preparing to run in 28. He is asked to
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: meet with one of his biggest critics.
• 23:25
  Speaker 21: You hear that, Ina?
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Biggest critics in New York City. WABC powerhouse. That's me.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I'm the powerhouse. I'm the guy, okay? I'm the guy
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: that stirs the drink. I'm Reggie Jackson in this goddamn place. Okay?
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Folks have to figure that out. Figure it out. I'm
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: the guy that stirs the drink. He's asked to meet
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: with one of his biggest critics in New York City,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: WABC powerhouse, Sidney Rosenberg, at Sid Rosenberg 19, to try
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: to mend fences with the Jewish New Yorkers. This meeting
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: is slated for Thursday afternoon at the White House, and
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Sid likely will pop by the Oval Office, and all
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: that is true. So to your point, clearly he's running.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Why in a million years would J.D. Vance want to
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: spend one minute with me, let alone one hour, If
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: he wasn't running for president, he wouldn't. Trust me.
• 24:19
  Speaker 22: And I think he's going to try to wow you
• 24:21
  Speaker 22: by inviting you to the White House.
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: That's a huge deal to be invited.
• 24:24
  Speaker 22: Most Americans don't get an invite to sit down with
• 24:26
  Speaker 22: the vice president. So how are you going to keep
• 24:28
  Speaker 22: it straight? Because here you have that comment that he
• 24:31
  Speaker 22: made yesterday. He's going to tell you something I imagine
• 24:34
  Speaker 22: a little different than what he said there.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: People told me last night he's going to lie. That's
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: the word they used a lot. He's going to lie. Look,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: the door is going to be shut. There's not going
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: to be anybody else. For example, my wife is coming,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: my beautiful wife, Danielle. And they even offered to take
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: me and Danielle on a tour around some of the
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: cool parts inside and outside of the White House. Yeah,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: it's a big deal.
• 24:56
  Speaker 19: And J.D.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Vance is going to walk me and Danielle around until
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: eventually he brings us to the Oval Office to see
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: President Trump. It's a huge deal. Now, Danielle will not
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: be inside the meeting. That meeting will be me, J.D.,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: and this other guy, Will. That's it. Door closed. Three people.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: A lot of this stuff, I'm sure, will be off
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: the record. I'm sure that's going to be the case.
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: But he knows you're going to talk about it anyway.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, no. If he says to me, Sid, please, off
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the record, I will not talk about it. But if
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: he doesn't preface his comments by, Sid, this is off
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: the record, then of course I'm going to share it. Look,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I spoke to Will yesterday, and the very first text
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: he sent me when I was leaving Vegas two weeks
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: ago was an off-the-record meeting. And I called Will. I said, listen,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I've already intimated to guests and family members and listeners
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I'm doing this. I go, why would you want to
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: keep it off the record? The whole idea is you
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: want people to know that Vice President Vance cares enough, okay,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: about the Jews, about Trump, about New York, that he's
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: bringing me there. Why would you want to? He goes, no, no, no, no, Sid.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: It's not a secret you're coming to the White House.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: That's not a secret. They don't care if you talk
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: about that. But if there are any points during the
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: conversation where the VP wants something off the record, I
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: will respect that. That's all.
• 26:21
  Speaker 22: But that doesn't make any sense because the whole reason
• 26:23
  Speaker 22: they're bringing you there is so then you can come
• 26:25
  Speaker 22: back here and use this microphone to talk about what
• 26:28
  Speaker 22: a great guy he is. And even if there's moments
• 26:30
  Speaker 22: where you disagree, then you say– Hey, we had a
• 26:33
  Speaker 22: healthy disagreement.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: But I could say that anyway without being specific about
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: the content.
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: I guess.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: And not that they feel like it's going to happen.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: They really believe in their heart of hearts, I'm going
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: to leave and go, let me tell you something, okay?
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: I just sat with the guy. I didn't like everything
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: he said. I didn't believe everything he said, but I
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: like him. And they'll be happy with that.
• 26:52
  Speaker 21: Trust me.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: They'll be happy with that. Because right now, look, I
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: don't dislike him.
• 26:57
  Speaker 19: I don't.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: He sat there on stage in Vegas. I looked at Danielle.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: She looked at me, and we said, he's kind of affable.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: You know, he's a very, very smart guy. Very smart guy.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: No matter how much you dislike him, you cannot deny that. Smart.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Silicon Valley experience. And he's affable. He's a good storyteller.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: He's funny.
• 27:17
  Speaker 13: You know?
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: But we have, I have at least, major issues with
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: his friends, with how he talks about Israel and other
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: things that will come up in the meeting tomorrow, specifically Trump.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: And I can't tell you that I'll be able to
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: comment on all of our conversations the next day, but
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: something tells me that Friday I'm going to say, I
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: like the guy. That also doesn't mean that if Marco
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Rubio announces Monday he's running, I'm not going to endorse Marco,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: because the odds are I probably will. You see what
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, Noel?
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: I see what you're saying. Now, I know you well enough.
• 27:55
  Speaker 22: Because we worked together for a while, that you have
• 27:57
  Speaker 22: probably sat at home trying to figure out which clothes.
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: You're going to wear for this big meeting at the
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: White House.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: That's so funny. I've thought about that for hours and hours.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: At one point, God, you know, I got to tell
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: you guys, there was no conversation about this with me
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: and Noam. I swear to you. So at one point yesterday,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: there's a closet, which is in my guest room, which
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: is by Gabriel's room upstairs. He has like his own,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: like penthouse apartment, you know. Because my closet downstairs is
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: for me and Danielle, and she's got a lot of
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: clothes and so do I. So I keep my sport
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: jackets upstairs in this closet by Gabe's room. And I'm
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: going to tell you that I spent about an hour yesterday,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: you know, putting slacks and shirts up against these jackets. Now,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: I've got your everyday blue suits. I've got your everyday
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: black suit. And I can't wear anything too outrageous.
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: You don't wear like that red.
• 28:50
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: No red. No pink. I've got all these red, pink, orange, green.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: It's going to have to be classic black, classic blue,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: something like that. But then I got to change maybe
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: the color of my button down. I don't know. I
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: spent an hour yesterday torturing myself. To your point, Noam,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: torturing myself on what I'm going to wear coming up tomorrow.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: So I've been there.
• 29:12
  Speaker 22: There has to be something a little bit that stands out.
• 29:14
  Speaker 22: Like you don't want the whole suit.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: To look that way.
• 29:17
  Speaker 13: No, no, no.
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: Maybe it's the tie. You're going to wear a tie, right?
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: You know, I never, ever, ever wear a tie. I've
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: worn a tie. Twice in the last couple of years.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: And it's been a bow tie because of black tie
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: events for President Trump. Otherwise, I've not. The last time
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I wore a tie may have been, believe it or not,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: when Bernard died. at the service at saint patrick's and
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: he'll be gone i heard saying this he'll be gone
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: four years in november it's really that long four years
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: i never wear a tie and i've got a hundred
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: beautiful ties from joseph abud you name it i got
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: them every color Every design, I just can't do it.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: My neck itches. And then I feel like I break out.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: I hate the whole thing. I got a big thing
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: with my neck. Very, very big thing. So not only
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: do I not wear a tie, but on most days,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: the top two or three buttons on my shirt, wide open.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Wide open. Like 70s porn, you know. But I have
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: to wear a tie tomorrow. You do.
• 30:20
  Speaker 22: So now I assume you're going to have to choose
• 30:22
  Speaker 22: one as well, along with whatever jacket you wear.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Well, obviously. What do you think?
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know.
• 30:28
  Speaker 22: If you want to send me pictures, I can help
• 30:30
  Speaker 22: you match them. Obviously, you have to wear a tie.
• 30:38
  Speaker 22: You can't go like with the buttons down.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: That's not going to look good. No, I'm going to
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: wear a tie. Clip-on. No, I used to have those
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: clip-ons when I went to poly prep because I couldn't
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: make my own tie. And my dad couldn't make it
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: for me every morning. But I don't even have those anymore.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: My wife is texting me. I'm sorry. Because it turns
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: out that last night I tried to put something on
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: my Instagram account and I couldn't get in. I couldn't
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: get in.
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: What are you locked out for? What did you do?
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Well, they sent me a message that said you have
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: to change your password. And we're doing this. We've basically
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: locked the whole account to protect you.
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: It sounds like a scam of some sort.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it means, but when you go
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: looking for my Instagram page, nothing pops up. At Rosenberg.Sydney,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: nothing pops up. It's gone. So it's not where, you know,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: I've gotten banned from Instagram before. I've gotten banned from
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Twitter before. They send you a message, and they say, well,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: you know, you've done something. These are the five policies.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: That wasn't the case. Instagram sent me messages to my
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: phone and my WhatsApp saying, we're basically doing this to
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: protect you. And I don't know what that means, but
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: they locked me out. So like my wife just now
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: was like, what the hell is wrong with you? You
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: got banned again. No, I didn't get banned. I didn't
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: get banned. They said, quote, let me get the actual
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: message here. I saved the message because I knew that
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: people would be like, oh.
• 32:13
  Speaker 13: Here it is.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: We locked your Instagram account down. For your safety, to
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: recover your account, you'll need to verify your password and
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: change it. That's not getting banned. It sounds like a scam.
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: It does.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Well, my phone was probably hacked.
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: Where was the email from?
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: There was no email. This is on my WhatsApp, and
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: it came in as a text. Wait a minute.
• 32:37
  Speaker 22: It came on your WhatsApp? That's totally a scam. Did
• 32:40
  Speaker 22: you give them any information?
• 32:41
  Speaker 11: No.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: No, so my fear is that somebody, like, hacked my phone.
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it sounds like someone hacked your account.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody hacked my account. I was not banned. Danielle,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: if you're listening, I was not banned. So my daughter
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: probably called and said, Mommy! So, you know, if you
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: usually check my Instagram every morning, if every now and
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: then you DM me, that's how you keep in touch
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: with me. Ain't happening these days.
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's down. I just looked for it.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: It's gone.
• 33:06
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: It's absolutely gone. So I got to go in with
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Justin after the show today and try to figure that out.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: a new password, all that, to try to fix it.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: But again, if you're trying to get me on Instagram
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: this morning, not going to happen. I recommend you go
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: to Twitter, at SidRosenberg19, Facebook, SidRosenberg, or Truth Social, SidRosenberg.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: All right, so that's the meeting. I'm sure every guest
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: today will be talking about it. It was a lot
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: of tweets last night talking about this meeting with me
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: and Bantz. coming up tomorrow in Washington, D.C. But, of course,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: that's not all the news. I saw my friend Bruce Blakeman,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: who joined me today, the Nassau County executive, our GOP
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: gubernatorial guy. He was out there on the streets of
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Howard Beach with the great Thomas Sullivan, running for assembly again,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Mike Sullivan's brother. He was out there with Joanne Areola,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: my city council lady. And he was going back and
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: forth with the energy costs. You know, Kathy Hochul was
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: on with that stupid, fat, black, racist Errol Lewis on
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: New York One last night. She was going on and
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: on about these rebate checks. Now, if I get any
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: of this wrong, feel free to correct me, Noam, but
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: I believe these rebate checks are about $ 200. And Blakeman
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: made the point, what good is that when your bills
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: are up almost $ 1, 000? Start fracking. Drill, baby, drill. They
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: don't have to come up with a lousy plan like $ 200.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: So according to Bruce, that $ 200, you can wipe your
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: ass with that. Is that not the fact?
• 34:37
  Speaker 11: No.
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that's accurate.
• 34:38
  Speaker 22: I mean, he said, and no doubt you've seen it
• 34:41
  Speaker 22: in your own bills, they've gone anywhere from $ 700 to $ 1, 000 up.
• 34:46
  Speaker 7: Over the last year. You're paying more.
• 34:47
  Speaker 22: That's what you're paying more in electric bills over the
• 34:50
  Speaker 22: last year. So, yeah, $ 200 is not going to do
• 34:53
  Speaker 22: a whole lot.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: What's that going to do for you?
• 34:55
  Speaker 11: $ 200.
• 34:55
  Speaker 13: What is she, nuts?
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: We got gold. We've got gold under our feet here
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: in New York. Why are you buying energy from Pennsylvania,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: you dumb biatch?
• 35:08
  Speaker 13: Why?
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: I know your boss who put you in that position,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo, did the same thing. But it's not like
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: looking back at Cuomo's stay as governor. He was any good.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: He was brutal, actually.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Brutal.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Above and beyond people dying. So that's the guy you
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: want to mirror? Those are the policies you want to continue?
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: basically raping New Yorkers and offering us a $ 200 check?
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: What are you, nuts? What else is going on?
• 35:37
  Speaker 22: Yeah, of course, the timing has nothing to do with
• 35:39
  Speaker 22: the fact that she's running for governor in November, that
• 35:42
  Speaker 22: people are going to receive checks from her two months
• 35:44
  Speaker 22: before they decide who they're voting for.
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: So just remember that. I mean, on her part, it's
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: not a terrible ploy. It's a pretty smart one.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: No, it's not.
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: People will fall for this. They'll be happy to get
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: a $ 200 check.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Like Bruce Blakeman said, we're not all stupid. You're right.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Some will. A lot will. Because the people that watch
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: her on New York One are, you know, helpless, hopeless Democrats.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: And they're going to vote for her anyway. So they
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: will fall for it. Even if they don't, it's not
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: going to matter. They're not going to vote for Bruce
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: because he's friends with Trump. I mean, you look at
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Kathy Hochul's commercials. And I've seen a lot of them.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Every single commercial, every one talks about Blakeman being friends
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: with Trump. I haven't seen one commercial yet where she
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: attacks some of Blakeman's ideologies or policies or philosophies. Not one.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Every commercial is Trump's buddy with a picture of Trump,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: videos of Trump. That's all they do. That's all the
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Democrats do. They've got nothing to stand on. Their policies
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: are grotesque. And Kathy Hochul is at the very top
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: of the list. All of her commercials are, Blakeman's friends
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: with Trump. He cares more about Trump than he cares
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: about you. You idiot. That's not the case. But if
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: you've noticed, Noam, that's all of her commercials.
• 37:02
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: All of them.
• 37:04
  Speaker 7: Well, they think that strategy is going to work.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, New Yorkers are stupid. The
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Democrats are, at least. I'm sorry, not my audience. But
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: New York Democrats are stupid. You can hit them with
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: a bat across the face 10 times and the last
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: for more. They don't care about criminals in the streets.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: They don't care about junkies in the streets. They don't
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: care about Jewish people getting attacked every day. They don't
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: care about churches now starting to get disgraced on a
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: regular basis. They don't care about taxes. They don't care
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: about anything. All they care about is Trump. That's it.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, these are really stupid people. Now they're freaked
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: out about AI because Obama and the Democrats. Yeah, what
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: about Elon Musk? Elon Musk is not a Republican, folks. Okay?
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: I know he had does. I know he helped Trump win.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Trump likes him. I like him. He's not a Republican.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Take it easy. So now they're sounding the alarm about
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: that and data centers. You know, you got this... Kate
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Conley was running against my friend Mike Lawler up in
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Rockland County. And all she does is vomit, literally vomit,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: whatever Kathy Hochul says. She has not had one original
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: idea yet. So will it work in New York? It might.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: But not because of the cretin's credibility or validity of
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: these statements. It's because Democrats are deep, deep, a douchebag.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: And that's how they vote. And they just don't care.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: They don't care. What else, Noam?
• 38:43
  Speaker 22: There was a terrible helicopter crash in Los Angeles yesterday.
• 38:47
  Speaker 22: So there was a bus wreck, a fatal bus wreck
• 38:50
  Speaker 22: in Los Angeles, and this chopper was racing to be
• 38:52
  Speaker 22: over the scene of it.
• 38:53
  Speaker 7: Two people had been killed on this bus. We don't
• 38:56
  Speaker 7: know why.
• 38:57
  Speaker 22: The helicopter then went down, and two people on board
• 39:01
  Speaker 22: from NBC in Los Angeles were in. They were both killed.
• 39:03
  Speaker 22: So was somebody on the ground. So now five people dead.
• 39:07
  Speaker 22: From this crash that took place, it was about 9
• 39:11
  Speaker 22: o'clock our time last night in Los Angeles.
• 39:14
  Speaker 13: Wow.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Terrible, huh? No. We got those in New York every
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: now and then.
• 39:19
  Speaker 22: Yeah, Los Angeles, of course, it's a big deal. You know,
• 39:21
  Speaker 22: they do all these car chases. They use helicopters in
• 39:24
  Speaker 22: a way that we don't really use.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: I heard, Well, we're not supposed to do that here.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: But I did hear from Karen Bass, the terrible mayor
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: from Los Angeles, about this. Maybe on your show this morning, right?
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: Or maybe it was the Worldwide News Network. I don't know.
• 39:35
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: That news coming out of my ass. What else you got?
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: There's a story. What's that?
• 39:43
  Speaker 22: The story out of off of Long Island. So there's
• 39:47
  Speaker 22: this Long Island congressional candidate. And he's now confirmed.
• 39:50
  Speaker 7: That it is him that has appeared in these bondage
• 39:54
  Speaker 7: themed photos that the New York Post had printed.
• 39:57
  Speaker 19: What?
• 39:57
  Speaker 7: You didn't hear about this?
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Who's the guy?
• 39:59
  Speaker 7: So Chris Gallant, he's a Democrat. He's running against.
• 40:02
  Speaker 22: Nick LaLotta in that first district out on Long Island.
• 40:06
  Speaker 22: And the New York Post printed these photos of him
• 40:09
  Speaker 22: in leather being like over the chain around his neck.
• 40:12
  Speaker 22: I mean, there's a series of photos, more than one.
• 40:15
  Speaker 22: And so now he's come out, Chris Gallen has, and
• 40:17
  Speaker 22: he says, he's openly gay, I should point out, a Democrat, says, yeah,
• 40:21
  Speaker 22: those are me in the photos that were taken about 2010.
• 40:24
  Speaker 22: He's wearing a leather collar attached to a chain. Others
• 40:28
  Speaker 22: show him in some pretty intimate situations with another man.
• 40:31
  Speaker 7: And he says that these photos were taken in private.
• 40:34
  Speaker 7: They were consensual.
• 40:36
  Speaker 22: With his then partner at the time.
• 40:38
  Speaker 7: And he he said this. Let's see if I have
• 40:41
  Speaker 7: this yesterday from a little bit.
• 40:43
  Speaker 22: I think it was yesterday that he made the statement.
• 40:46
  Speaker 15: By now, you've probably seen the stories and the pictures.
• 40:50
  Speaker 7: But let's be clear about what this is. This is
• 40:53
  Speaker 7: a coordinated political hit.
• 40:55
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 40:56
  Speaker 22: So the Suffolk County Conservative Committee, they're also weighing in
• 40:59
  Speaker 22: on this. They say that they criticizing Gowen saying, do
• 41:04
  Speaker 22: voters really want somebody like this who's walking around in
• 41:06
  Speaker 22: leather to be the guy that represents them in Washington?
• 41:08
  Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 41:09
  Speaker 22: But I can imagine there's a lot of people in
• 41:11
  Speaker 22: Washington walking around in leather.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: No, I'm sure there is.
• 41:13
  Speaker 7: That we don't know about.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there is. Those bars, late night in D.C.,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of crazy stuff happens. Yeah, yeah. A lot
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: of crazy stuff.
• 41:21
  Speaker 22: Sad story out of New Jersey. There's a search for
• 41:25
  Speaker 22: a missing clamor, a voter. His boat went missing on Monday.
• 41:29
  Speaker 22: Or actually, I shouldn't say the boat. He went missing.
• 41:31
  Speaker 7: The vessel was discovered in Monmouth County Monday in Atlantic Highlands.
• 41:36
  Speaker 7: And terrible story. A 64-year-old was set to be married
• 41:41
  Speaker 7: in November, and there's just no sign of him. And
• 41:43
  Speaker 7: they don't know what happened. They do have the vessel.
• 41:46
  Speaker 22: And so now there's this investigation going on trying to figure.
• 41:48
  Speaker 7: Out where he is and what may have happened to him.
• 41:51
  Speaker 7: Of course, his fiancée distraught. So is the family. And
• 41:53
  Speaker 7: so far, there's been no sign of him.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Good luck to him.
• 41:56
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 41:56
  Speaker 21: All right.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: We've got a big guest list coming up today. It's Wednesday.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: We usually have a big guest list on Wednesdays. Which
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Larry is going to be here today? We love Rich.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Carol Markowitz. I mentioned Miranda Devine. Carol, another guest. amazing
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: New York Post columnist. She'll be here. Joe Benningo, WFAN legend,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: now Sid Rosenberg contributor. On the week one wins for
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: the Jets and the Giants, Peter King will be here,
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: Gordon Shang, China once again in the news, and Bruce Blakeman.
• 42:27
  Speaker 23: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 42:30
  Speaker 23: Podcast Network.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: Jackson 5 at 6.56 on your hump day Wednesday morning.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. I'm trying to figure out, Norm,
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: if I should just stay in D.C. tomorrow. I know
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: we've got this relationship with that Salem radio station. I've
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: done about five shows from there before, after I was
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: ejected from the State of the Union. Also, after Trump
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: called me up on stage at the White House. You know, Joe,
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: she actually set those up. Yeah, I was going to say,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: please make that decision sooner or later. It's up to
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: my wife. So she wants to stay because you never know.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: I could be sitting in the Oval Office and Trump
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: could say, hey, what's for dinner tonight, guys? Sid, Danielle,
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: why don't you stay for dinner? It could happen. I
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: don't know. It could absolutely happen. And at that point,
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to rush to a train for three
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: hours to get back to Penn Station. I'll just stay
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: in a hotel in D.C. and do the show from
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: the Salem station on Friday or take the day off.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: I don't care. You know what I mean, Noam?
• 43:32
  Speaker 22: I think you should do the show from Salem so
• 43:34
  Speaker 22: we can find out exactly what took place while it's.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: Fresh in your mind. Oh, it's going to be big.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: You know how many people texted me last night and said,
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: can you call me when you leave the White House
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: on Thursday?
• 43:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you're going to call these individuals.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: Well, some of them I will. Very, very big. Very,
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: very big. Just trust me, Noam. Very, very big.
• 43:53
  Speaker 13: Very.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: Have I said that yet?
• 43:55
  Speaker 7: How big?
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: Very big. Okay. So some I will call, but at
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: any rate, I've got to figure it out and see.
• 44:02
  Speaker 7: That makes sense.
• 44:03
  Speaker 22: I think you should stay there, and then you'll wake
• 44:07
  Speaker 22: up kind of fresh, and you'll go over to the
• 44:08
  Speaker 22: studios there, and we'll do the show.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Right, right. Makes sense.
• 44:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Unless the studios, they're always able to get me some space,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: which is good. They're very nice there, very nice. So
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: I imagine that Friday won't be an issue, and we'll
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: do it that way. I've got to be home, of course,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: the weekend, because Sunday night, for the Jewish folks out there,
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: is Kol Nidre, Yom Kippur.
• 44:35
  Speaker 10: Yep.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: And we'll be off on Monday, of course.
• 44:38
  Speaker 7: And you have a lot to atone for, so, you know,
• 44:41
  Speaker 7: you've got to get ready for it.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: I actually don't think I do. Oh, yeah, you do. No,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: I don't think I do. I think all the stuff
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: that I do for New Yorkers and the Jewish people and...
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: I don't think I do.
• 44:52
  Speaker 22: I think Justin and I could come up with a.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: List of things.
• 44:56
  Speaker 9: I've been collecting pebbles that he's going to cast away.
• 45:01
  Speaker 9: I've got a wheelbarrow.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: They used to make fun of me. We would do
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: the Toshlich ceremony where you take pieces of bread and
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: you throw it into a body of water, which represents
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: throwing your sins away. And I would do it. I've
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: stayed at my mom's house, and it's a man-made lake,
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: I guess. I don't know. And they would say, no, no, no, no.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: You need a much bigger body of water. So we
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: did it last year by my house in the Atlantic Ocean.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: That's how we did Tashlech.
• 45:29
  Speaker 9: Oh, that's a big enough body.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: That's a big enough body.
• 45:31
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I stopped using bread because my mom said, you're wasting.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: All the bread. Yeah, she's right about that.
• 45:36
  Speaker 9: So she just started saying, pick up a bunch of rocks.
• 45:38
  Speaker 9: And throw the rocks into the water.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 45:41
  Speaker 11: Huh.
• 45:41
  Speaker 7: I wonder if that counts.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: It doesn't count, does it? They're morons. Nice people, but
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: really stupid. So, I got cold nutrition Sunday night. I
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: got Yom Kippur on Monday. So, none of us are
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: going to be here. Even Lou is out. We'll be
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: back on Tuesday. So, we've got to come back from D.C.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: no matter what in time for the Sunday night service.
• 45:59
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 46:00
  Speaker 7: So, then you'd make us wait four days. So, I
• 46:02
  Speaker 7: think you've got to do the show on Friday.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I do make you wait. Think
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: about the time spent listening. Four days later, it'll be massive. Massive.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: Because you know everybody's going to tweet about this, write
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: about this. I already got, I don't know, five different
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: people calling me last night to come on their shows.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: TV shows, podcasts. Got a bunch of those last night.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: So maybe I'll make them wait.
• 46:29
  Speaker 11: I don't know.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: All these things need to be figured out. There's an
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: actual method to this madness.
• 46:35
  Speaker 11: You know.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: Call ratings.
• 46:37
  Speaker 7: I was going to say, and that is?
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: Call ratings. That's how they judge us in this business.
• 46:41
  Speaker 9: It's not like you're going to have to wait, Noam.
• 46:43
  Speaker 9: Your phone's going to blow up.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, Noam's going to be calling me. I'll be in
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: Vance's office.
• 46:47
  Speaker 23: Right.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: And I'll be getting calls from Noam. How's it going?
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: What's going on? Sorry, JD. Let me just say this.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Noam Layton.
• 46:55
  Speaker 7: I got to take this call.
• 46:56
  Speaker 11: Sorry.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: I got to take this call. Noam Layton. But we'll see.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: We'll figure it all out later on. Today we've got
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: a bunch of great guests helping by the program. Again,
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: Gordon Chang, Bruce Blakeman, Peter King, Joe Benningo, Carol Markowitz.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: And we kick it off with the editor of the
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: National Review. I love this guy. He's on every week.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: The great Rich Lowry, our first guest on this Wednesday morning.
• 47:19
  Speaker 23: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 47:22
  Speaker 23: Podcast Network.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: Classic Aerosmith. Dream on on your Wednesday morning. Dream on.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Maybe J.D. Vance is dreaming that he can be the
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: next president of the United States, although that's not really
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: a dream. That's ultimately very, very reachable for J.D. Rich
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: Lowry is the editor of the National Review. He's on
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: this show every week, and he's awesome. First of all, Rich,
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: before we get to the political stuff, Yankees won again
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: last night. Max Fried was great. They're a season-high 25
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: games over. 500. They're still 3.5 behind Tampa Bay, but
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: they've got four head-to-head matchups with the Rays. But either way,
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: judges back, they're scoring runs. They look really good, and
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not convinced that even the Rays or anybody else
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: in the American League are better. I'm not a Yankee
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: fan up until this year. Right now, I'm a big
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: Yankee fan. I really think the Yanks are the best
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: team inside the American League, but you've been a lifelong
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: Yankee fan. How do you feel?
• 48:25
  Speaker 24: Yeah, I think if they're hitting, that's true. Even when
• 48:30
  Speaker 24: Judge has been back here, there have been some games
• 48:31
  Speaker 24: that have been a lot like the post-All-Star break games
• 48:35
  Speaker 24: where you're scoring one or two runs and four or
• 48:37
  Speaker 24: five hits. It's extremely frustrating, and whoever you're hitting against,
• 48:41
  Speaker 24: you make them look like a Cy Young winner. That
• 48:43
  Speaker 24: was what happened two nights ago in Minnesota until the
• 48:45
  Speaker 24: eighth inning. Now they've scored eight runs in a row.
• 48:48
  Speaker 24: If they can just be almost league-average offense with their pitching...
• 48:52
  Speaker 24: they're a force. So I just don't watch enough of
• 48:55
  Speaker 24: the Rays. I don't understand it. It seems to me
• 48:57
  Speaker 24: they win an awful lot of close games, which probably
• 48:59
  Speaker 24: isn't entirely sustainable. But during this stretch where the Yankees
• 49:02
  Speaker 24: have been better, they picked up half a game or
• 49:05
  Speaker 24: maybe a game and a half. So I don't think
• 49:07
  Speaker 24: they're catching the Rays, but they have a chance to
• 49:09
  Speaker 24: go to the World Series, yeah.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: The Rays are amazing. Their manager, Kevin Cash, has to
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: be the best in baseball. You'll be hard-pressed to find
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: even a big baseball fan in New York who can
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: tell you three or four players on that team. And
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: they win 90-plus games every year.
• 49:23
  Speaker 24: That guy's good.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: Right, that guy's good, right. But they win 90 games
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: every year. Every year.
• 49:29
  Speaker 24: No payroll.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: No payroll.
• 49:31
  Speaker 8: None.
• 49:32
  Speaker 11: Zero.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: They don't win a lot of World Series, but they're
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: there every year. Kevin Cash does an amazing job.
• 49:38
  Speaker 24: I think this is probably the biggest problem, though, in
• 49:41
  Speaker 24: terms of competitive balance in baseball, by the way, because
• 49:43
  Speaker 24: you can have the Brewers win the World Series this year.
• 49:45
  Speaker 24: You can have the Rays win the World Series this year,
• 49:46
  Speaker 24: and they're not top market clubs. The problem with those teams, though,
• 49:51
  Speaker 24: is what we were just saying. Who do you know
• 49:53
  Speaker 24: on those teams? Because most of the time, they just
• 49:54
  Speaker 24: can't keep their homegrown talent, and that sucks as a fan, right?
• 50:00
  Speaker 24: You want to keep your Aaron Judge generational talent for
• 50:04
  Speaker 24: 15 years in your uniform, and a lot of small
• 50:07
  Speaker 24: market teams can't do that. I think that's a problem
• 50:09
  Speaker 24: they've got to look at.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's been that way forever. And the truth
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: is the two teams you just mentioned, the Tampa Bay
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Rays in the AL East and the Milwaukee Brewers in
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: the NL Central, they're good every year. Every year. And,
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: you know, even with Milwaukee, you'll be hard-pressed to name
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: some of their— they've got this one pitcher we may
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: win the Cy Young— And, you know, they got the
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: kid from the Marlins from years and years ago. But
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: those two teams are at the top of their division
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: every year. So for all the bitching about how baseball
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: is entirely predictable, it's going to be the Dodgers or
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: the Yankees or the Braves. Not true. The Mets had
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: almost a $ 400 million payroll. They can't win a game.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: And you got teams like Tampa Bay and Milwaukee that
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: are in the race every year. Every year.
• 50:49
  Speaker 24: Last thing on this. I know we're not on the fan.
• 50:52
  Speaker 24: But the thing that's really out of whack is the
• 50:55
  Speaker 24: Dodgers are paying their seventh-place hitter, in effect, once you
• 51:00
  Speaker 24: figure out all the taxes and whatnot, $ 100 million a year.
• 51:03
  Speaker 24: More than, I don't know, the payroll of 12 teams total.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 51:07
  Speaker 24: So something a little out of whack.
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: But that's why. That's why. There will not be baseball
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: next year. And I'm not telling you that as a possibility,
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: even a probability. I'm telling you that as a fait accompli.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: There will not be baseball next year. There's going to
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: be a lockout. I spoke to the attorney, the new
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: Marvin Miller these days, and it's going to take a
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: year to fix this. So to your point, yes, the
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: fact that the Dodgers keep picking up all this talent.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: In some cases, like Otani paying them years and years later,
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: like Bobby Bonilla, is a huge issue. And because of that,
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: there will be no baseball next year. So hopefully the
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: Yankees give us a good run this year before it
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: is done. Okay, you know about this meeting tomorrow. How
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: do I know? You texted me. I didn't text you.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: You saw Miranda Devine's tweet last night. You texted me.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts?
• 51:58
  Speaker 24: Well, I mean, first of all, he should be very pleased.
• 52:00
  Speaker 24: It's a sign that you're a power and you're meaningful.
• 52:03
  Speaker 24: He wouldn't want to have a meeting with you otherwise.
• 52:05
  Speaker 24: And my prediction is you'll come out of the meeting
• 52:09
  Speaker 24: liking J.D. Vance more than you do now. That's what
• 52:12
  Speaker 24: I hear from everyone who meets with him. And I
• 52:14
  Speaker 24: hope he lays your concerns, and I hope you believe
• 52:17
  Speaker 24: he's sincere, because I think that would be very good
• 52:19
  Speaker 24: for everyone. But I'm curious to see how it comes out.
• 52:22
  Speaker 24: Most important meeting, perhaps. And our politics was the Kennedy-Khrushchev
• 52:27
  Speaker 24: summit in 1961.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: That may not be the case, but it is pretty surreal,
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: and thank you for the kind words, that he reaches out,
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: his office reaches out. to a radio host. A radio host.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not even on Fox News. I was. I got banned.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: A radio host in New York. And that does go
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: to show you, and Kilmeade talked about this earlier, the
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: power that New York still has for all of our problems.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: Our crappy mayor... a moronic governor. New York's a mess, okay?
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: If you don't admit it's a mess, then you're living
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: in some dream world. It's a mess, but the power
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: is still there. You get a guy that gets on
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: the air every morning and gets the ratings that I
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: get in a blue city talking mostly conservative politics on
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: an AM station, and the vice president says, I need
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: to talk to you, and the president says, I need
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: to talk to you, and the prime minister of Israel says,
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: I need to talk to you. That says a lot, no?
• 53:23
  Speaker 24: Yeah, no doubt. You know, I hear from fans of
• 53:26
  Speaker 24: yours all the time. Just a couple weeks ago, I
• 53:29
  Speaker 24: don't know, like 1030 at night, and my wife's cousin
• 53:32
  Speaker 24: calls and says, I got someone here who needs to
• 53:34
  Speaker 24: talk to Rich. I'm at a party in New Jersey.
• 53:37
  Speaker 24: And I go, okay, you know, put him on the line.
• 53:38
  Speaker 24: And he's a listener of yours. That happens all the time.
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: Peter King gets that all the time, too. He's so annoyed.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: He's like, I'm so happy these people want to meet me.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: They go, so let me ask you something, Pete. What
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: I got to you. What's it really like?
• 53:54
  Speaker 19: I love it. What you see is what you get.
• 53:57
  Speaker 24: Anyway, I'm curious to see how it turns out.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: No, I am too. And, you know, people say, what
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: are you going to say to him? I go, wait
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: a second. What am I going to say to him?
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: He called the meeting. I didn't call the meeting. The
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: question is, what is he going to say to me? Now,
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: I'm going there on with a whole bunch of stuff.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: I don't like what he said again yesterday. Another tennis
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: unforced error, in my opinion. He doesn't have to say
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: that the United States has to stop being subservient to Israel.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: There's a better way to put that. The big issue
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: with him is, I'm going to say it right to
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: his face, J.D., I know Tucker's your buddy. You may
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: have to condemn him at some point. You may have to,
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: but at least until you do, stop sounding like him.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 54:34
  Speaker 8: Totally.
• 54:35
  Speaker 24: Totally agree. I missed this. He said subservient.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: The exact verbiage he used, and Heather Johnson tweeted this
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: out yesterday, and everybody sent it to me, but the
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: exact verbiage was, we cannot let our Middle Eastern foreign
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: policy be subservient to the state of Israel. Now, how
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: does that help you? Yeah.
• 54:55
  Speaker 24: So, look, I agree with, obviously, our national security policy
• 55:00
  Speaker 24: should be driven by the national security interests of the
• 55:02
  Speaker 24: United States and no other foreign nation, but, you know,
• 55:05
  Speaker 24: it just sounds dog whistly, right?
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: It sounds what you hear. Right, and it matters. I
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: remember arguing with Eric Adams all the time, okay? He
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: would say perception. I would say, first of all, it's
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: not perception, okay? But let's say it is. Eric, dummy, perception.
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: is more dangerous than reality. So we hope you agree
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: with the content of that. I don't. You do. I
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: don't care. There's got to be a better way to
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: say it. You can't come off like Tucker and expect
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: that Jews and Trump supporters are still going to like you.
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: You just can't. You've got to be smarter. Totally agree. Well,
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: that'll be part of the conversation tomorrow, and we'll see
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: how it comes. You know what really found surprising, though?
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: I've got to tell you this. I'm in Dallas last week, right?
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: And J.D. Spock, he did a very good job.
• 55:47
  Speaker 13: He did.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: Trump was amazing Wednesday night. But guess who didn't speak
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: last week in Dallas? Ted Cruz. I was sitting with
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: Ted and Sean Hannity right by the Fox booth there
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: as they're about to go on television. He didn't speak.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: Guess who else didn't speak? Marco Rubio, who was still
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: most people's choices, including mine, Ina Vernikoff. He's my guy.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: I'm friends with Marco Rubio for 16 years. He's my choice.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: He's not running yet, okay? But he didn't speak. Also,
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis. So I don't know if it was they
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: wanted to speak and the GOP said no, but that
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: seems to be the way the news is delivering it.
• 56:24
  Speaker 24: Ted did speak in Dallas.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, he did? What am I talking about? He was
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: the guy that actually talked about... He actually was the
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: first one to bring up radical Islam to his credit.
• 56:33
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 56:34
  Speaker 24: It was a very tough speech, and CNN was crying
• 56:38
  Speaker 24: about it immediately. That's how you knew it was good.
• 56:40
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: But DeSantis and Rubio didn't speak.
• 56:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 56:43
  Speaker 24: So Rubio being Secretary of State, I can see how
• 56:46
  Speaker 24: that's a little squirrely. I don't know what accounts for DeSantis. But,
• 56:51
  Speaker 24: you know, all those guys are potential candidates that we've
• 56:54
  Speaker 24: talked about. I don't think Rubio's running, but Cruz is
• 56:56
  Speaker 24: certainly running, and I wouldn't be surprised if DeSantis runs.
• 56:59
  Speaker 11: Again, too.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: So somebody that I really respect, who's really, really famous
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: and in the know, that's all I'm going to say,
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: said to me last night, Rubio's running. I said, I
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: don't know, man. I'm hearing from everybody. He's not going
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: to run. He's not going to run against J.D. That's
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: his buddy. And this person said, you're wrong. I said, okay, well...
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: When you find out he's running, have him call me
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: or you call me. So there are some people who
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: still think Marco's running. I don't think so either. I
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: agree with you. But what are you basing that on?
• 57:28
  Speaker 24: I think it's I base it on two things. One,
• 57:31
  Speaker 24: he's on the inside. And if there's some sign that
• 57:34
  Speaker 24: Trump is a little disaffected from J.D. more than any
• 57:37
  Speaker 24: of us can know on the outside or that he
• 57:39
  Speaker 24: really wants to be a competitive race and he's not
• 57:41
  Speaker 24: going to tip his hand J.D. 's way, then I
• 57:43
  Speaker 24: think he'd be tempted to run. But I don't think
• 57:45
  Speaker 24: there's any sign of that. Two, he's got a really
• 57:48
  Speaker 24: good job. So this is not like Ron DeSantis, you're
• 57:52
  Speaker 24: not going to have anything to do next year. Marco
• 57:54
  Speaker 24: Rubio is still going to have one of the best
• 57:56
  Speaker 24: jobs in the world next year. So what we'd be
• 57:58
  Speaker 24: asking him to do is eight months from now, seven
• 58:01
  Speaker 24: months from now, whatever it is, quit this greatest job
• 58:04
  Speaker 24: in the world, rent a car in Iowa, and drive
• 58:07
  Speaker 24: from Pizza Ranch restaurant to Pizza Ranch restaurant, talking to
• 58:10
  Speaker 24: groups of 50 people in the hopes that he beats
• 58:14
  Speaker 24: and probably an upset, you know, the leader of the pack, J.D.
• 58:18
  Speaker 19: Vance.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: And by the way, if he loses, now he's got
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: two losses under his belt, Trump and J.D.
• 58:23
  Speaker 13: Two losses.
• 58:24
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 58:24
  Speaker 24: And it's straight-line projections. It's going to be a tough
• 58:26
  Speaker 24: year in 2018. Four years from now, Rubio is going
• 58:29
  Speaker 24: to be still pretty young. He's going to be richer
• 58:32
  Speaker 24: than he is now. It's going to matter for his family.
• 58:34
  Speaker 24: So I don't see it. But I've been wrong before.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: No, I have been wrong before, too, but I agree
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: with you. So what do you think about this whole
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: AI data center thing? We're starting to find out about
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: all these wokesters that work on the left. that are
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: coming out and screaming about the dangers and guardrails and
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: all this. And people bring up Elon Musk. Elon Musk
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: is not a Republican. I know that he did doze.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: He worked with Trump. He's not a Republican. All this
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: is coming from Barack Obama and the left, for the
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: most part, for the most part. All this, you know,
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: sounding of the sirens. Trump says, we got to do this.
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: I'm going to talk to Gordon Chang later. We got
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: to beat China. We don't have a choice. He's aware
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: of the dangers, just like data centers. But if you
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: want to move forward in today's day and age, you
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: got to do these things. What does Rich Lowry think?
• 59:23
  Speaker 11: Totally.
• 59:24
  Speaker 24: I think Trump is right about it. Now, I don't
• 59:25
  Speaker 24: think Everyone's making this up. When it's Elon and Dario
• 59:31
  Speaker 24: and everyone else saying exactly the same thing, they clearly
• 59:34
  Speaker 24: see potential to kind of freak them out.
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: But when you see people who was on Dario's board,
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: by the way, they're all friends of John Brennan. They're
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: friends of this guy, David Cohen. Your colleague, Miranda Devine,
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: did a great piece in the Post yesterday talking about
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: a lot of the board members for the guy you
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: just mentioned. And they're all dangerous Democrat wokesters, all of them.
• 59:58
  Speaker 24: Yeah, no, that's true. But again, it's pretty much everyone
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 24: who's a leader of these major firms is saying this. Now,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 24: I don't think it's true. I don't understand how you
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 24: get from the computer realm, a virtual realm, into doing
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 24: like real things to destroy humanity, which would require like
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 24: launching nuclear weapons or creating a bioweapon. How it's going
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 24: to do that? But could it be damaging in certain ways?
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 24: But is the upside enormous and transformative? Yes. And to
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 24: your point a second ago, if we don't do it,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 24: China sure as hell is going to do it. So
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 24: if we're worried that this is going to be Skynet,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 24: do we want a Skynet that's Chinese or Skynet that's American?
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 24: So the traditional way of dealing with this kind of
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 24: thing is you don't launch any product that's unsafe. And
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 24: if you do, your company is destroyed by lawsuits, right?
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 24: So they should be the ones creating the standards, applying
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 24: them to themselves, and making sure what they're doing is safe.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 24: But you can't just stop doing it. And even if
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 24: you had an agreement with China, you couldn't trust them.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 24: And you're going to need AI, good AI, to combat
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 24: the bad AI. So I don't see any alternative to
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 24: just steaming ahead.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: Well, we agreed a lot this morning. That's scary. So
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: here we go, Rich. We do this every week. We
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: did it with Biden and Trump when Bernard was still alive.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: Now we're doing it with this, the midterms coming out
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: in November. You were always very steadfast that Biden was
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: going to beat Trump, and unless you thought the election
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: was rigged, I guess you were right. And you've been
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: very steadfast that the Republicans will lose the House, but
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: you give them a chance to retain the Senate. Where
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: are you on this Wednesday morning?
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 24: Still lose the House.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: Come on! What's it going to take to get you
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: off of this?
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 24: Toss up in the Senate. If the election were held today,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 24: I think maybe they'd lose the Senate.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 24: So not good. Every Republican strategist I talk to privately
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 24: is totally freaked out. And I think the best thing
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 24: the party has going for itself is, one, Democrats are
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 24: still crazy or even crazier. And, two, the Senate map
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 24: goes through a lot of red states. So it's going
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 24: to be hard for Democrats to take all those. And
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 24: if they, you know. Don't take a lot of them
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 24: and not taking the Senate. So I think holding the
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 24: Senate would be.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 12: A victory this year.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: You want me to call you Thursday night?
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 24: Yeah, I want the update.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 12: Are you kidding me?
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: Well, if I do that, then you've got to write
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: a piece in the publication.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 12: You've got a deal?
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 24: I'll write something about it, yes.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: I'm making deals.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 24: At least on social media.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, good, good. But you can find a spot, I think,
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: somewhere in there, can't you, Rich?
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 19: Come on.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: I will call you.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 11: I'm leaving it open. I hope it goes well.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: I will call you the way because I love you.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: You're a great friend and a great guest. Thank you,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: Rich Lowry. Thank you.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 19: Bye, buddy.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: Rich Lowry right there, the editor of the National Review,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: does a great job with me every week. I really
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: love the guy. How about some more Aerosmith? Dream on.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 23: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 23: Podcast Network.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: The Police. What a great album this was. Synchronicity, Every
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: Breath You Take. My man Sting loved this song. And
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: thank you, President Trump. Look forward to seeing you in
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: the Oval Office tomorrow. You know, talking about Trump, there
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: was some details about this guy, Timothy Crooks, that came
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: out a couple of days ago. And he was the
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: would-be assassin who actually did shoot President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: And then he was killed on the rooftop. And there
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: are still a million questions today as to what in
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: God's name the Secret Service, the FBI was doing for
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: this kid was able to have a ladder, climb up
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: on the roof, seen with the gun on the roof.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, just a ton of questions never really answered.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: And now we've got the same situation with Charlie Kirk.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: So it turns out that the Kirk family is suing
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: Utah Valley University because they claim that Charlie's assassination was
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: ultimately preventable. Ultimately preventable. Utah Valley assigned only six officers
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: to Kirk's event, which had over 3,000 people. And they promised...
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: the Kirk family, the university did, that they would secure
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: all the rooftops, right? Very similar, Butler, Pennsylvania. They would
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: secure all the rooftops at Utah Valley, and they didn't
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: do it. The Utah Valley PD chief, the police chief,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: was denied a larger police presence for Kirk's event. So,
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: questions still lingering about what happened with Crooks, when he
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: shot President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, now the Kirk family says, hey,
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: Utah Valley, you blew it. You promised to check all
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: the roofs. You didn't do it. Clearly, this kid made
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: his way to some roof inside the university. It wasn't
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: outside the campus. It was some education building, I guess.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: And he shot him. So this is a massive lawsuit.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: And as I'm talking about it, Lawrence Jones is interviewing somebody,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know who she is, on Fox News talking
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: about the same thing. So keep your eye on that.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: Also today is Fed Decision Day. I had this conversation
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: with the brilliant Charlie Gasparino yesterday about the likelihood that
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: the Fed will increase interest rates today, just a little bit,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: a little bit, 0.25, but that they will increase Raise it,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: and that does seem to be the opinion of many.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: John Katsimatidis said no Monday. Charlie Gasparino said yes yesterday.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: I tend to believe yes, because they got to do
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: whatever they can do to battle this inflation, which is
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: certainly a heck of a lot better than when Joe
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: Biden was in office. At one point, it was over nine.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: Some say 12. It's certainly a heck of a lot
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: better now, but it's not good enough to where we
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: can really boast about it and use it to our
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: favor in the midterm. So I do think there may
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: be a slight raise in interest rates today. But listen,
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know nearly as much about this as Don
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: and Charlie do, but that's my guess. We're going to
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: find out for sure today. We'll take a break. When
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: we get back, I love this lady. Big-time New Yorker
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: got out of here. Said enough of this. During COVID,
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: even before Mom Donnie, she now lives in Florida, but
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: she's still one of the top columnists for the New
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: York Post, making a return to sitting friends in the morning.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: Carol Markowitz is next, and she's got a great, great
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: tweet about Macklemore. Markowitz, next.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 23: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 23: Podcast Network.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: Brian Adams, heaven, after my friend, the great Prime Minister
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: of Israel, Bibi Netanyahu, sent me that. Congratulations, Bibi. Video
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: on Monday, the big induction coming up October the 22nd.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: And I know a lady that's very happy for me
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: who loves me, loves BB, loves Israel, loves New York,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: loves all of it. The amazing columnist from the New
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: York Post who has now moved to Florida a couple
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: years now. Carol Markle. It's Carol. Good Boca Raton morning.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 8: Hi, Sid. How are you?
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: I'm good. Boy, you're missing so much here in New York.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: You got to be. You got to be kicking yourself
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: in the ass every day.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 8: Am I?
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: Not really. No, nothing. You're missing nothing. Absolutely nothing. So
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: Bibi sends that warm message and there's a lot of
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: talk about his election coming up and You know, there's
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: been six elections, six over the last couple of years
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: in Israel. Bibi's won five. And almost every time there's
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: always doomsday predictions about Bibi. But this time around, I'm
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: really getting this doomsday sense and even a little bit
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: of nervousness from my friends who work with Bibi. What
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: are your thoughts on this upcoming election?
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 8: I mean, I think nervousness is the right emotion. You
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 8: can't be going into an election thinking this is going
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 8: to be a walk. That's always going to be the
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 8: worst thing that you can do. So I like that
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 8: Bibi's team is nervous. They should be working really hard.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 8: I'm sure that they are. And I hope that they
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 8: get him across the finish line. So it's tough in Israel.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 8: There's a lot of parties. He's not just competing against
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 8: one person. He could be competing against several people who
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 8: form a coalition, and that's that. so this idea that
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 8: bb is gonna win it in a walk i mean
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 8: yeah it's definitely tough it is very.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: Tough so you know i had a off the air
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: conversation yesterday about my meeting tomorrow with the vice president
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: united states which is going to happen three o'clock tomorrow
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: afternoon at the west wing of the white house and
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: jd vance yesterday somewhere i don't know heather johnson found
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: this he says the All.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 8: In Conference, yeah.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: What was it called?
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 8: At the All In Conference. It's the All In podcast, guys.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: Okay. He says we cannot let our Middle Eastern foreign
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: policy be subservient to the state of Israel. Let me
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: just say this, okay?
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 19: Mm-hmm.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: There's a bunch of people in this administration who agree
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: with J.D. I'm telling you that not as an opinion,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: as a fact, but he's the guy running for president.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: And again, like they say in tennis, this is an
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: unforced error. You got to be smarter the way you
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: say it. You may feel that way and you may
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: even be right. You may be. I don't think he is,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: but you may be right. But if you're going to
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: run for president, don't you have to be a little
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: smarter in your presentation?
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 8: Well, I would say that I think he is very
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 8: much walking this line. I think this was all on purpose.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 8: I don't think he said it by accident. I don't
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 8: think he thoughtlessly said this. I think he said it
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 8: with intent. And here's the thing. If you read the
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 8: whole quote, it's actually, yes, he absolutely said that. It's
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 8: a ridiculous thing to say. I fully agree. But if
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 8: you read the whole quote, what he's trying to say
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 8: is that Donald Trump has separated from Israel and that
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 8: he doesn't always agree with Israel. and that this is
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 8: the first administration ever to not always agree with Israel.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 8: And so he says that that's the correct way to
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 8: do it, and that you can't be subservient to NATO,
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 8: and you can't be subservient to Israel. That's the whole quote. Listen,
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 8: if he governs as president with the same close relationship
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 8: that Donald Trump governs with Israel... I mean, that'll be great, right?
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 8: He's saying that Donald Trump is not always supportive of Israel,
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 8: and I'm saying if that's what non-supportive looks like, we'll
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 8: take it.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. You're right. And he's right
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: about that. I mean, Trump comes out, he blasts Bibi,
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: he embarrasses Bibi. You know, he very rarely says bad
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: things about people like Putin, for example, or some of
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: these real, real awful people, but he'll come out and
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: call Bibi an upping moron. He does do that. And
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: I think that's also... you know, calculated on Trump's part
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: because he knows that Bibi's not going to get angry.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: And he asked her to a certain extent, like Vance
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: did yesterday, kind of appease to this crowd, not huge,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: not the biggest in America, but certainly this crowd of
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: people that wake up every day hating Israel. He knows that.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 8: I think it's a miscalculation to do that.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 24: I really do.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 8: I hear you that Trump definitely pops off on Bibi.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 8: And I do think it's a calculation. I think it's
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 8: when he's trying to get deals with his Arab partners.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 8: I completely think that that happens. But I think what
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 8: Trump and Bibi have is a very close, tight relationship. Again,
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 8: if we can have a relationship between the U.S. president
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 8: and the prime minister of Israel that mimics Trump and
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 8: Bibi going forward, I would be very, very happy with that.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 8: Trump is the most pro-Israel president we have ever had,
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 8: bar none. So if Vance is saying that the way
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 8: Trump is towards Israel is the way that it should be, great.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 8: Bring that forward. Let's have that happen moving forward.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: One more on Vance. A lot of people have contacted
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: me the last two days. Big, big, big, big, big
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: people like Trump, but really big people. And they said,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: do you expect that by the time you leave that
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: office tomorrow, he will have already or at least sometime
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: in the near future repudiate or condemn Tucker Carlson? And
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he's going to or not. I'm
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: going to make it very clear to him that reminding
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: people every day that that's your buddy. Forget about the
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: Jewish stuff for a second. Put the Jews aside. This
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: guy calls Trump the Antichrist. This guy says that Trump
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: is evil. Trump's a bad guy. So now what you've
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: done is now you've got the Jews against you. Now
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: you've got the Trump supporters against you. Now you've got
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: the Jewish Trump supporters against you. So I don't know
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: if he's going to do that tomorrow or not. I'm
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: going to ask him to. But do you agree that
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: somewhere down the road he must do that if, in fact,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: Marco Rubio runs?
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 8: Well, I think that Rubio is signaling he's not going
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 8: to run. So we'll just set that aside for now.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 8: But the thing is, it's not that he must do that.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 8: It's that he obviously will do that. To me, it
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 8: is an obvious thing.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 19: Oh, yeah.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 8: Well, so look, right now, who is telling him to
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 8: repudiate Tucker Carlson? His friends, his friends. I mean, we
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 8: are his friends. We want him to win. We want
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 8: him to succeed. We don't want Vance to go down
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 8: in flames. We don't want President AOC, right? So this
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 8: is his friends talking to him right now, saying you
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 8: should really repudiate this lunatic that's attached to you. Who
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 8: will it be in the general election pinning Tucker Carlson
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 8: to him? It won't be his friends anymore. It'll be
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 8: the New York Times. It'll be the Washington Post. It'll
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 8: be all the liberal news stations. They will tie him.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 8: If you think that the way Abdul El-Sayed is tied
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 8: to Hassan Piker is something right now, just wait to
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 8: see what they do to J.D. Vance when he's running
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 8: against you know, AOC or Gavin Newsom. He will become
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 8: the person that they talk about all day, every day.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 18: J.D.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 8: Vance has to see that coming. I've tweeted this. Tucker
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 8: Carlson is an anvil tied to J.D. Vance's leg. So J.D.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 8: will have to untie that at some point. I recommend
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 8: he do it sooner rather than later for his own
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 8: political strategy. But if he doesn't want to, believe me,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 8: the liberal media will absolutely... pin Tucker to him and
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 8: make him be his bestest friend going into the general election.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: I think you're right. And look, there's a lot of
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: people in this town that are, you know, not mad
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: at me because they love me, but they're, you know, upset.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: You know, like Ina Vernicore, for example, love her, a
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: great Brooklyn councilwoman. She's going on and on. You know,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: you can't trust them because of Tucker. sweetheart you're not
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: telling me anything I don't know okay I know that
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: but when you talk about friends that's why JD wants
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: me there tomorrow because I do like him I don't
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: like him as much as Marco Rubio his people know
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: that they know that I don't like him as much
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: as I like Ted Cruz they know that too right
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: now at best at best JD is third or fourth
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: on my list but I don't dislike him I don't
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: dislike him And like you said, if he's going to
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: be the nominee for the Republicans, I'm not voting for AOC.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not endorsing Kamala Harris or any of those lunatics.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: So you know what? I'm going to have to make
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: this trip tomorrow and tell him what we want, what
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: we need, what he needs, in my opinion, to do
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: to succeed.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 8: The last vice president who won a presidential election is
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 8: George H.W.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 11: Bush.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 8: That was a really long time ago. So J.D. Vance
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 8: should think about that. He should think about the fact
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 8: that the country doesn't normally elect the vice president. make
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 8: him president. He's going to need all the support he
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 8: can get. And the tiny sliver of the Republican Party
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 8: that is anti-Israel, and it is a tiny sliver, he
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 8: should really consider that they are not going to be
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 8: the ones who support him when it comes down to it.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 8: The Republican Party remains a pro-Israel party because why wouldn't
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 8: you be? Why wouldn't you be? It has nothing to
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 8: do with Jews in America. It has to do with
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 8: the fact that Israel is a capable, strong country in
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 8: the Middle East where our absolute best ally, the one
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 8: that would come to our aid at any moment and
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 8: would do it so capably. So that's what J.D. Vance
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 8: needs to understand. It's not about shared values. It's not
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 8: about anything like that. It is about that we need
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 8: them and they need us, and it is a symbiotic
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 8: relationship that is.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: Supported and should be supported.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 20: 100%.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: This is the amazing New York Post columnist, Carol Markowitz.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: So you won the Tweet of the Day competition. I
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: don't know if you know that exists, but it does.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: And you won. Congratulations. Here it was, folks, yesterday. Carol Markowitz,
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: so good. She goes, Mattis Yahoo had shows canceled. Michael Rappaport,
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: my dear friend, had shows canceled. Jewish artists were kicked
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: out of the satellite art show in Miami Beach last year. Oh,
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: ChatGuard didn't even include these in a list of Jews
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: with canceled shows. But wait, I'm supposed to care about Macklemore?
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 13: I don't.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: Here's the good news. Either do I. Give me a break, Harold.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely. You know, for years now, since October 7th,
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 8: Jews have been getting canceled all over the place. And,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 8: you know, the line that they use is, oh, security concerns.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 8: We have security concerns. I mean, forget about Jews. The
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 8: Daily Wire was supposed to premiere their movie in Alamo
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 8: Drafthouse in Washington, D.C. this week. That got canceled because
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 8: they have the wrong opinion and they got pressure and
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 8: they canceled their screening. I mean, it happens all the
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 8: time to Jews, to conservatives. I'm supposed to care about
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 8: this no-talent Macklemore guy? No, absolutely not. And I think
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 8: that the Jews are doing the right thing. You know,
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 8: I love Robert Kraft. His blue square thing, I'm super
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 8: not into. I don't want to be a victim. I
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 8: want to be like he is right now, strong and
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 8: capable and saying, no, you're not performing in my arena,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 8: and that's that.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's still too wishy-washy for me. He did great
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: there by saying you can't perform at Gillette Stadium, but he's.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 8: He's a great guy.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 11: I know he is.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: I love him.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 8: But it's not our— style, Sid.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 19: No, it's not.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about the other side. That's
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: what it's called.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 8: Even now, he's like, oh, I'll sit down with Macklemore.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: No!
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 8: Don't sit down with Macklemore. Don't sit down with Macklemore.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: Well, people go, wait, wait, wait, but you're sitting down
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: with J.D. Vance. You morons. He's the Vice President of
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: the United States. He's not some crappy entertainer. It's not
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: the same thing. But, yeah, I'm tired of the... What
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: about the other side? To me, it's a very, very...
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, last night, I was watching TV
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: with my beautiful wife, Danielle. And season five just came out,
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: just came out for Fowler.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: And I love that show. Love it. And when we
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: watched the first four seasons and like one night, we
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: couldn't stop watching it. So season five just came out.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: And one of the episodes in season five is all
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: about October the 7th.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 19: Right.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: And I'm telling you that, Tucker Carlson, all these losers,
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: Candace Owens, even Kraft, talking about the other side, they
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: should see this because in this episode, one of the
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: stars that's been on the show since the first episode,
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: they show That his family, his wife, his 17-year-old daughter,
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: and 15-year-old son were murdered. But his wife was raped first.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: And then he, quote-unquote, slaughtered her. But the scenes they
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: show at the Nova Festival of young, beautiful people, which
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: happened in real life, getting murdered. I'm telling you. For
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: all you idiots out there that think this is a
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: two-sided issue and we're committing genocide, which we're not. We
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: are not. Go watch season five of Fowler. Learn something.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: That's the problem. They're ignorant, stupid people getting information from podcasters.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: Learn something.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 11: No?
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 8: And, you know, I mean, podcasters is like the higher end.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 8: They're getting information from podcasters. China. And it's a really
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 8: bad situation that we have to deal with kind of
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 8: this low information situation in America. Israel is our best friend.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 8: They also, you know, I said earlier, the values are
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 8: not important, but they kind of are. We do share
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 8: values with them. We share Western values of freedom and
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 8: democracy and openness and all of that. And the fact
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 8: is that they are like us over there. That's who
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 8: Israel is. Israel is most similar to America in the
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 8: Middle East. And we have to preserve that. The fact
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 8: that October 7th was this gruesome, brutal day and people
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 8: took from that to help destroy Israel now that it
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 8: was on its knees. I mean, that was really eye-opening
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 8: for a lot of us. And yeah, that FATA, it's
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 8: it's telling a story that needs to be told. I
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 8: don't know that the right people will hear it, but, uh,
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 8: I hope that people like JD Vance will.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm going to tell him tomorrow, you know,
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: because Jay, you know, JD Vance this week, he mentioned
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: a TV show that I happen to love. I happen
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: to love it. He was talking about Emily in Paris.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: I love that show. It's great. Phil Collins' daughter is
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: the star of the show. He's like, this is what
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: it should be all about. It's about marriage. It's about love.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: People should be married. It was a great message from J.D.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: Vance yesterday. So I'm going to say tomorrow, I'll tell
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: you what, I'll make sure I catch up on Emily
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: in Paris. If you catch up on Fowler, how about that, Mr.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: Vice President? And we'll see what he has to say.
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: I love it. One more on the way out. The
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: only time you and I had a fight and it
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: was a real fight. It was a real fight. I
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: was in my own gym at the YMCA, which I
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: stopped going to because you had a Black Lives Matter
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: banner over the pool. So I quit. Now we got
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: a great gym with all-American flags, my buddy Sean Cerrone,
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: burn fitness. But I remember working out and calling you
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: and arguing about Trump and Ron DeSantis. You remember this?
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 19: Yep.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: It was a real fight.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 19: Oh, yeah.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. You mouthed off on me. And Trump went
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: on to win. So here's DeSantis, who's the best governor
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: in the country. I like Abbott, but DeSantis is the best. Yeah,
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: easy call. Not even close.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 8: I would say he's the best governor in the history.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 8: I can't even think. Think of a better governor who
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 8: has moved the conservative agenda forward more than Ron DeSantis,
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 8: you know?
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're right. I mean, a lot of people think
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: Rick Scott was great, too. But maybe you're right. When
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: I lived there, Rick Scott was a governor. But maybe DeSantis.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: So were you kind of curious as to why he
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: did not speak in Dallas last week? And do you
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: think he will definitely run for president?
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 8: Interesting. I, you know, I hadn't really thought about why
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 8: he didn't speak in Dallas, but now, now looking back
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 8: at it, it was, I felt a real administration push. Um,
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 8: but yeah, that, that I feel like they definitely should
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 8: have had him. And I, I didn't even realize he
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 8: wasn't there. Will he run for president? I don't know.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 8: I think again, he is the greatest governor, you know, ever. Um,
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 8: but presidential shot seems at least this time around pretty
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 8: out of reach. I think Trump is going to be
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 8: making the decision as to who the nominee is going
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 8: to be. His endorsement will be everything, and I just
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 8: don't think that that endorsement will go to Ron DeSantis.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 8: He doesn't like him. Well, I think they have a
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 8: much better relationship now than they did, and I think
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 8: that that's the way it has to go, right? You
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 8: have to Look, Rubio ran against Trump. They are now,
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 8: you know, bestest of friends. I mean, Vance called Trump
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 8: a Nazi years ago. He's now his vice president. You
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 8: have to forgive and move on, especially in politics. So
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 8: I don't know. I think that Trump is going to
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 8: be the kingmaker. I think everybody knows that. And we'll
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 8: see if Vance remains the guy that he.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 14: Picks, right?
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 8: I mean, we're all talking about it like that's a given,
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 8: but Donald Trump loves to put on a good show.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 8: We really never know what he's going to do. No.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, who could have thought?
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 8: He likes to keep us guessing.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: Who could have predicted J.D. Vance was going to be
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: his running mate this time around? I mean, everybody who
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: talked to says his kid, Junior, went up to him
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: and said, Dad, that's the guy. You've got to see
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: this movie, Hillbilly Elegy. What a great story. No one
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: was talking about J.D.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 12: Vance.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: We were talking about Elyse Stefanik. We were talking about...
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: you know, of a variety of people, but he does
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: shock you. But I do feel like J.D. Vance is
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: the guy. And, in fact, look, let's be honest. In
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: a primary right now, as great as a governor as
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis was, he would get whacked by both Vance
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: and Rubio in a primary.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 13: Whacked. Right.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah. I mean, that's why I don't think he even
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 8: considers it, is my guess. But where does Ted Cruz
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 8: fit in? If it becomes the Vance Lane and he
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 8: keeps pushing away allies of the Republican Party, does Cruz
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 8: have a possibility? Vance made kind of a joke about
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 8: him being unlikable, but I have always liked J.D. Vance.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 8: I actually read Hillbilly Elegy when it came out and
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 8: I thought it was fantastic. I thought he was great.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 8: But if he keeps pushing people away, he opens up
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 8: other lanes for people to run against him. And I
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 8: think that that's It's a questionable move.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think there's any love lost between Teddy and,
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know this, and J.D., and I think they're
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: going to be, Ted has already said some things. He
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: actually said about J.D. Vance a couple of weeks ago, publicly,
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: he's not ready for this job. Ted Cruz said that.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: So it may get a little ugly between Teddy politics
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: and J.D. Vance. All that, still to come, as always,
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: Carol Markowitz, you're amazing.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 12: I love you. Thank you.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 8: Thank you so much for having me.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: Come on. God bless you. You're great. Carol Markowitz right there,
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: the amazing New York Post columnist who left New York
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: and went to Florida. And we're all coming eventually, Carol,
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you. Wes Boca, find a nice place for me,
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: will you? We'll come back on the Wednesday edition right
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: after this.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 23: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 23: Podcast Network.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: Freddie Mercury and Clean here on this Wednesday morning. And
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: of course, that was Brian Kilmeade on colleague here at WABC,
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: big superstar at Fox News, Fox and Friends every morning,
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: One Nation, 10 p.m. on Sunday nights, Brian Kilmeade with
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: the kind words. So my next guest this morning, it's
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: been a great show already, Rich Lowry, Carol Markowitz, still
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: to come, Bruce Blakeman, Gordon Chang, Peter King, and more.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: But my next guest is my former midday partner at WFAN.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: He's still a legend on the fan on every Saturday,
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: but now he contributes once a week to our show,
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: One of the all-time greats, my dear friend Joe Beningo. Joe,
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: good morning, buddy. How are you?
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 13: Sidney Arthur. First of all, I want to congratulate you
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 13: on your big meeting with J.D. I know you're going tomorrow.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 13: You're going to see Don. You're going to see J.D.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 13: You're going to straighten him out about whatever issues he
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 13: has with Israel. Go get him, bro.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: I'm going to try, at least. I have no idea
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: if I'll be successful. I love all the people tweeting
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: this morning. I'm confident.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 13: You've got great confidence in you, bro.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: I know. Thank you. All the people tweeting this morning, J.D.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: Bantz's issue is not Sid Rosenberg or the Jews. They
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: make up a small percentage. He's got bigger fish to fry.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: So you know that the folks who don't care about
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: the Jews or Israel are out there saying, why is
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: Bantz talking to Rosenberg? Why? What's the big deal? He
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: doesn't get the Jewish vote. He can still win. Okay.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: It's not just the Jewish vote. What about some of
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: the things that he said about President Trump? I don't know.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: Calling President Trump the Antichrist. That may be an issue
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: with J.D. Vance, no?
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 13: Yeah. Well, I mean, when did he call him the Antichrist?
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 13: Did I miss something here? What was that, in the
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 13: early days before he got there? No, no, no.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: That was Tucker Carlson who did that. I'm sorry, not J.D. No, no, no.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: By the way, J.D. called him a Nazi. J.D. called
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: President Trump a Nazi years ago.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 13: Well, I know he wasn't. I know he was not
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 13: for Don and, you know, way back when. Tucker Carlson's
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 13: lost his cookies, bro. I mean, let's be honest. You know,
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 13: him and we talked about this yesterday. Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens,
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 13: Marjorie Taylor Greene. These people have all like they've lost
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 13: their minds, these people. Well, I mean, you got to
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 13: be kidding me.
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 12: Right?
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: They're traitors.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 13: You got Tucker Carlson back in El-Sayed now?
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 13: How is that?
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, he is.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 11: I mean, what?
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 8: I know.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 19: I know.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: And he said that El-Sayed is right about 9-11. Look,
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: there's no other way to put it. They're traitors.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 11: You know?
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: Trump's a liar. He's not America first. He's Israel first,
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: like Rosenberg. Let me just say this again for you folks.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: As soon as you say Israel first, like Alex Jones
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: loves to do, You're an anti-Semite. That's it. That's it.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: There's another way to say it.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 13: Sidney, you are a great, I know you for many
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 13: years now. We've been through, you and I went through,
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 13: we did a lot of different crap together. We had
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 13: some interesting moments. We can't get into. But you know what?
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 13: You are a freaking patriot, bro.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 13: You love this country more than anything. Yeah, you know,
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 13: you're a serious Jew, and I have great respect for
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 13: all that. By the way, Happy New Year, and have
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 13: a good fast if I don't talk to you next week.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Very nice.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 13: But anyway, you are a great patriot, and that's the
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 13: bottom line, bro. You're America first all the way.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: All the way.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 13: Thank you for saying that.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: And you know what?
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 13: If you're America first, and I really believe this, too,
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 13: If you're America first, you're going to be pro-Israel. I mean,
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 13: they're our number one ally in the world. I mean,
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 13: to me, it's not.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 24: Don't.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 13: Give me England. Don't give me France. Certainly don't give
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 13: me Canada or any of these other freaking whacked-out places.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 13: It's Israel, and that's number one.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: God, I love you. And you're a great patriot, too,
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: for a guy that You know, look, for so many years,
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: and still, you know, everybody wants to hear Joe Benigno
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: on a Monday morning after a jet game. Everybody. Or,
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: you know, when Pete Alonzo comes to Citi Field.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 13: Oh, my God, bro, please. And I got to, let
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 13: me just say this. I'm glad you brought that up.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 13: Congratulations to all the great Met fans out there, okay,
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 13: who let David Stearns and the owner hear it. the
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 13: last couple nights, hear it about the massive mistake. You know,
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 13: the only big– and the Mets have made many. I
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 13: don't have to go through the litany of great Mets
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 13: that they have either traded away or allowed to walk away.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 13: but Peter Lonzo, only Tom Siva was worse than letting
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 13: Peter Lonzo walk. That's the only thing that has been,
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 13: the receiver trade is the only worst thing that the
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 13: Mets franchise has ever done in letting one of their
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 13: iconic future Hall of Famer walk away. 36 homers, 102 RBIs.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 13: His OPS is about 860. He plays every effing day.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 13: He hit that home run off Sengel last night. He
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 13: knew he was going to hit number 300 at Citi Field.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 13: God bless Pete Alonzo. What an effing mistake. Fire Stern.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: Fire Stern. Now, look, you mentioned Seaver. And don't forget,
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: before you were my great midday partner, I worked with
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: Jody McDonald. His father, Joe, he's the guy that traded Seaver. And,
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: you know, we know about that terrible trade, Doug Flynn,
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: Steve Henderson, Pat Zachary, and Dan Norman. But I got
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: one more for you that may be even worse than Alonzo.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 23: Go.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 13: Go.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: Nolan Ryan for Jim Fregosi?
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 13: The only reason you can't make that worse is because
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 13: at the time they traded Nolan Ryan, nobody knew that
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 13: Nolan Ryan was going to turn into this all-time great pitcher.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 13: You know what I mean? You didn't know it. He'd
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 13: been there a few years. He was great in the
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 13: World Series in 69.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: He wasn't even starting. They were starting Gary Gentry. Let's
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: be honest.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 13: What's that?
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: They were starting Gary Gentry.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 13: Yeah, Gary Gentry was part of the rotation in 69.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 13: But Ryan came out of the pen, man. You look
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 13: at it, in a World Series, he pitched that great
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 13: game in Game 3. I mean, you know, he was
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 13: unbelievable against the Braves in the playoffs. He pitched like
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 13: seven innings in the clincher out of the pen. But
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 13: they never knew he was going to turn out to
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 13: be that. So if you want to say Nolan Ryan,
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 13: to me it's Seaver No. 1, it's Alonzo No. 2,
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 13: and it's the dismantling of the 86 championship team by
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 13: Frank Cashin No. 3.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: What about the fact... That every July 1st, even now,
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: Bobby Bonilla gets a million dollars.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 13: Bobby Bonilla. Say whatever you want about Bobby Bonilla. Is
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 13: there ever been a smarter guy than this guy? I mean,
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 13: he's got a million dollars every year.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 19: I know.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 13: Remember when he first came up and he said, you're
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 13: never going to wipe my smile. I'll show you the Bronx.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 13: You're never going to wipe the smile off my face.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 13: Remember that? I do.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: I do. He's getting paid, folks. Just so you know,
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: until 2035.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 13: One quick one.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: I know. We've got to go to football, but the
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: Yankees won again last night. Weed looks good. They're scoring runs.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: Aaron Judge is back. I'm not sure they catch Campbell.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: I think they've got four head to head. Doesn't matter, right?
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: That's the best team in the American League, right?
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 13: No question. You know, I tell this story, and I'm
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 13: not a Yankee fan. I know you're a Yankee fan now.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 13: I tell this to all my friends who are Yankee fans.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 13: Just think about the Knicks, okay? The Knicks finished with
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 13: 53 wins. They were the third seed in the Eastern Conference.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 13: It doesn't matter. You know, the regular season, it is
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 13: what it is. You've got to play 162 games, all
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 13: of that. It doesn't matter if they catch Tampa or not.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 13: They're going to have home field. in the wild card round,
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 13: and they're going to win. You know, I love their rotation.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 13: I'm a little worried about Garrett Cole. I mean, the
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 13: Mets had batting practice against them.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: Forget about the Mets. They had the game before the Mets.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: He started the Padre game giving up three home runs.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 13: Right, right, right. He could give up four to the
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 13: Mets before he went out of the game. Mets hit
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 13: six in that game. But, you know, I'm a little
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 13: worried about Cole, but Schlittler is the best pitcher in
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 13: the American League in my mind. You know, you got
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 13: Max Freed. You got a pretty decent bullpen. Bednar has
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 13: really been good out of the pen. A couple other
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 13: of these guys, Weathers, Warren, whoever you want to throw
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 13: out there. I like the Yankees to win the pennant.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 13: I really do. And I don't think the Dodgers are
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 13: coming back. They're not getting to the World Series again.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 13: Ohtani's been hurt. And, you know, am I supposed to
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 13: be afraid if you're a Yankee fan of the Milwaukee
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 13: Brewers or even the Braves or the Phillies?
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 11: No.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 13: I think the Yankees win it this year. I do.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: Wow. Well, let's hope so. Randy Levine, I'm going to
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: send you this later on today. Joe Beningo has the
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: Yankees winning the World Series. I'm a Met fan.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 13: Randy knows what kind of Met fan I am.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 11: He knows.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: He knows. All right, quickly, we've got a couple of minutes.
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: I want to get the football.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: The Jets have not looked better in week one in years.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: Is this team primed to win the Super Bowl? No.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 13: But I tell you what, though, they're going to be
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 13: a competitive football team all year, Sid. I think, seriously,
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 13: they can win between seven and ten games. This is
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 13: a much better team. They're nowhere near resembles what they
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 13: were last year. You got a completely different defensive football team.
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 13: The strength of this team is the offensive line. They
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 13: got a really good offensive line. I mean, I know
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 13: Tennessee stinks. Look, I don't want to sugarcoat that. Tennessee stinks, okay?
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 13: I feel bad in a lot of ways for Robert
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 13: Sala because he's stuck with a completely garbage team. Cam
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 13: Ward is not any good. Whatever. But the offensive line, man,
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 13: these guys, I mean, they ran the ball beautifully with
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 13: Brees Hall and Braylon Allen. You know, they kept Geno.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 13: They didn't even touch Geno in this game. And if
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 13: you give Geno time to throw, he's going to, you know,
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 13: go 19 for 24 for 200 and whatever yards.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: He could throw.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 13: And tear you up. You know, Wilson had a big game.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 13: The kid Mitchell had a big game. I'm very happy
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 13: with the team, bro. I think this team is really
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 13: going to surprise some people this year. I think they'll
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 13: at least be in the mix, you know, for most
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 13: of the season to make the playoffs. I don't think
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 13: they will, but I think at least they'll give us
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 13: a competitive season this year. And they're set up, bro.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 13: They got three number one draft choices again next year.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 13: This guy, Aaron Muji, has done a terrific job setting
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 13: them up. That trade, their source guard in the trade,
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 13: looks like the biggest fleecing of all time. Just think
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 13: about it. They got the Colts' number one pick next year.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 13: The Colts look like they're going to stink. Stink. They
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 13: may wind up with the first and second pick in
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 13: the draft.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: They may. Yeah, Daniel Jones looked terrible. And, you know, look,
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: I know Green Bay got their clocks cleaned in Minnesota
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: last week. They all played it for three quarters, so
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: I watched the whole game. If the Jets beat the
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: Packers on Sunday, I'm going to buy in. I'm going
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: to buy in.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 13: Well, I mean, look, buy-in. I think they're going to
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 13: at least, they got the Packers at home. It's going
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 13: to be crazy. There'll be a lot of Packer fans.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 13: I'll be there, too. But there'll be a lot of
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 13: Packer fans there. But then they got the Lions on
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 13: the road. The Lions were fortunate to win. I mean,
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 13: the Saints went for two.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: All the time. And by the way, I think the
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: Lions get their clocks cleaned by Buffalo tomorrow night.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 13: I would agree with you 100%. And then they play
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 13: the Bears, who look like they're pretty good. I mean,
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 13: they put 59 on the board against Carroll.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: I don't care. That happens. I'm telling you, Caleb Williams
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: is really good. His two running backs are really good.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: His receivers are really good. They're really good.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 13: But if they're 2-2, Sid, if they're 2-2. after the
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 13: first four games, and then they got the Cleveland Browns,
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 13: they got Arizona coming up, the Dolphins who stink, they
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 13: play the Raiders. You know, if they can be 2-2
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 13: going after the first four games, I think they're really
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 13: set up to have a solid season.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: By the way, Arizona may be better. Jeremiah Love, the
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: rookie out of Notre Dame.
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 13: They beat the Chargers. The Chargers are a fraud.
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: They're a fraud.
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 13: By the way, The Chargers are the biggest. They've been
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 13: a fraud for 20 years, the Chargers.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: They have since Don Correale. And the funny thing is,
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: the coach of the Chargers is a hardball. But that's Jim.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: That's Jim. We got his brother, John, here with the Giants.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: And come on, Joe Meningo. How good did the Giants
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: look on Sunday night?
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 13: The Giants are going to be– look, I said this, Sid.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 13: I think the Giants win at least 10 games. I
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 13: think they're going to win. I think they clearly can
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 13: win that division. You know, look, I love the coach,
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 13: and you know I love the quarterback. I mean, you know,
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 13: I wish my team would have drafted him. You know,
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 13: we know he loves Don. That only helps it. He's
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 13: got one of the hottest girlfriends you could have. It's
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 13: good to be Jackson Dart. No, the Giants, I'm telling you,
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 13: and they may have a tough game against the Rams.
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 13: Miles Garrett is out now. They made him go to Australia.
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 13: What a disaster that turned out to be. I think
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 13: the Giants are primed for a big year. You know,
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 13: this Isaiah likely is the real deal at tight end.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 13: Their offensive line is much better. Scataboo is healthy. You
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 13: got Singletary running the ball. Neighbors look great.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 11: Yep.
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 13: Giants are set up, bro.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: They are. You mentioned the Ram game. So the Rams
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: go to Australia. They're favored to beat the 49ers. Brock Purdy,
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: you know, Brock Purdy never gets the credit he deserves.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: When he's healthy, he wins. Bottom line, he wins. He
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: goes nuts. He throws three touchdowns. The Rams can't score.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: You mentioned the fact that Miles Garrett's out for an
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: extended period of time. Aaron Donald's not ready to play.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: So I think the Rams Monday night are very angry
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: when they host the Giants. A lot of people thought
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: the Rams were going to the Super Bowl. This game, too,
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: could be a huge win for the Giants on the road.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 13: Look, and it really lightens up. If they get that game,
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 13: now you're looking at the Titans coming into the Meadowlands
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 13: in week three. I mean, the Giants are set up
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 13: to– I'm telling you, bro, I'm mad at myself that
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 13: I didn't bet them to win the NFC East, and
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 13: I think they got a great shot to do that.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 13: Philly was all it could be. The Redskins, the Commanders,
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 13: whatever they are, the Commodores, they were only a two-point
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 13: conversion away from beating the Eagles in Philadelphia. Watch that game.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: I'm tying them. They lost 24-22.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 13: Right, right.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 1: They lost by two.
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 13: But, I mean, they were right there to win that game.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 13: It was a bad penalty. Stephon Diggs, you know, he
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 13: plays with his head up his rear end all the time.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 13: That's why he's been on 30 different teams, as good
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 13: as he is. He gets a big touchdown, then he
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 13: gets a stupid penalty in the end zone. And it
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 13: cost them going for two. They had to kick an
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 13: extra point from 50 yards away.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 13: That was a big play in that game. So, you know,
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 13: I like the Giants a lot, and I love Dart.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 13: I can't say. He's got to stay healthy. He plays
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 13: a little reckless. We know that. Scataboo, too. They've got
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 13: to stay healthy, but I think the Giants are really,
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 13: really set up.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: I love hearing that. What a great segment. I enjoyed
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: this immensely, I must tell you. And I will give
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: Vice President Vance your best when I see him tomorrow.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 13: And Big Don, I know you're going to see the
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 13: big guy, too. Give him a little kiss on the
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 13: cheek for me and tell him, God bless you, bro.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 13: God bless. Keep doing what you're doing. Keep taking care
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 13: of our country. Tell him that.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: And you, too. You keep doing what you're doing, Joseph,
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 1: because you're still the best. I mean that, the best.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: I love you so much. Thank you, buddy.
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 13: Have a good fast next week.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Have fun with Brandon Tuney today. Give him
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: my best, okay?
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 13: Absolutely.
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 19: He's a good kid.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: He's a good kid. Joe Beningo right there, the amazing
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: Joe Beningo, WFAN legend, now weekly Sid Rosenberg contributor. I
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: love that guy, and he's amazing on radio.
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 13: Amazing.
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: We'll take a break. Still to come, Bruce Blakeman, Gordon Chang,
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: and Peter King, the Wednesday edition of Sid and Friends
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: in the morning.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 23: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 23: Podcast Network.
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: Michael Penn right here used to love this song, No Myth.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: Happens to be the brother of the actor Sean Penn.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: So yesterday in New York City, they reopened the Carnegie Deli.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: Can't believe it's been closed 10 years already. It closed
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: just about the time I came back. I came back
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: January of 2016, and I used to work at 888
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: 7th Avenue. Isn't that crazy? Way back when in 2000,
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: when I worked with Anthony Cumia. Opie and Anthony. We
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: worked right across the street from the Carnegie, but you remember...
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: About a decade ago, there was some drug deal that
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: went bad upstairs, some marijuana deal, a bunch of crazy
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 1: Jamaicans and a white blonde girl, and they murdered everybody.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: You remember that?
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 9: No, I don't remember that.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 1: That was right above Carnegie Deli.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 9: Ten years ago. I was 17.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 13: No.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 13: Wait, no.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: I was 20. You were 20. Okay, yeah. See, you
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: were still stupid, obviously.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 11: I mean, you're 30.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: I don't understand. What the age means, it was a
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 1: big story, but Carnegie reopened yesterday. I think Mark Simone
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 1: was there. Anything that happens in the city, he has
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 1: to be there. But they were always good. Big sandwiches
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: and big money. The Carnegie Deli back in New York City.
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: You know, I was in Howard Beach yesterday, right by
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: my house. The great Nassau County executive, soon to be
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: the next governor of New York. My main man, Bruce Blakeman.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about Bruce. whether it's on the red carpet
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: at the WABC gala last Friday or in Howard Beach yesterday,
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: Bruce always finds a way, and trust me, I'm honored
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: by this, I'm humbled to mention that he wants me
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 1: to be mayor. Every time Bruce was great yesterday, he'll
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: be great next. Bruce Blakeman coming up next on Sid
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: and Friends in the Morning. Sid and Friends.
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 2: In the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: Billy Joel, every time Blakeman or Peter King was coming
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: up next, come on, we try to play some Billy. Mr.
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: Long Island, Bruce Blakeman, Nassau County Executive, but soon to
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: be our next governor. And grace the streets, not far
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 1: from me in Howard Beach yesterday. He killed it again. Bruce,
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 1: good morning, buddy. How are you?
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 19: Doing great, Sid.
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 13: How are you?
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 19: Getting ready to run for mayor, my friend?
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: It's funny because I wasn't at the gala on Friday,
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: and Lisa G. says to me, I interviewed Bruce. He
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: brings you up running for mayor. I was told yesterday
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: by Mike Sullivan that you brought up me running for mayor. See,
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: I think you're kidding, but I don't think you are.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: When you win this race against Hochul, I'm watching you
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 1: on TV right now, by the way. When you win
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: this race against Hochul, I think you want me to run,
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: don't you?
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 19: I do. Your only impediment, the only obstacle that you
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 19: have is, will Danielle allow you to take the pay cut?
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: That's it. That's it. Willie, that's it. And I'm not
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: sure how much of a pay cut it's going to be.
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 1: So maybe I'll do it. I don't know. And, you know,
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: if you win, when you win, I should say, we
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 1: got to save the state. We got to save the state.
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: And you beating Hochul is huge. But the problem is
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: that creep Mamdani is still there. I was very happy
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: to hear from Fintan and other people that when you
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: came down Friday to the 9-11 memorial, that you were
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: the one. You were getting all kinds of, let's go, Bruce.
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: Let's go, Bruce. I love you, Bruce. I was so
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: happy to hear that.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 19: Well, you know, it's just such a sad day for
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 19: me and my family. You know, I lost my nephew,
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 19: Sergeant Tommy Juergens, on that day. So it's a very
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 19: sad day. But what was really uplifting was the number
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 19: of people who came up to me, offered me words
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 19: of encouragement, said that they prayed for my nephew, told
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 19: me that they were praying that I win for governor,
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 19: wanted to take pictures with me. So it was a really,
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 19: really good day.
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 11: It was.
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 19: As I say always, it's a very tough day for
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 19: me and my family. But, you know, Sid, the resiliency
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 19: of New Yorkers is just amazing. And we got through 9-11.
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 19: We'll get through Hochul and Mondami.
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: I think you're right. Yesterday, too, that's such a great name.
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: But I think you were outside of Bruno's. I'm not
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: sure where you were exactly. Where were you?
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 19: Outside of Brothers.
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, the meat market?
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: I love that place. Yeah, we shop there. We shop there.
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 19: Does that place have good food?
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 13: They have.
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: Listen, we go back and forth. We go to Landy's
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 1: in Brooklyn, and we go to Brothers on Cross Bay Boulevard.
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: They have great food there, and they're really nice people.
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 1: And my friend Jen Delandro has an office upstairs. She
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 1: does Botox. She was there yesterday, and I saw Thomas
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: Sullivan there yesterday and Joanne Areola there yesterday. It seemed
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: like Howard Beach's finest were out there with Bruce Blakeman.
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 19: Well, you know, we were out there talking about the
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 19: fact that Kathy Hochul wants to give everybody a check
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 19: next week for between $ 100 and $ 200 because she wants
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 19: to rebate money that they've already paid to the state.
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 19: You've paid $ 1, 000 more a year because of Kathy Hochul
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 19: with 48 rate hikes. So that's $ 4, 000 over four years.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 19: And she wants to pull an election stunt and give
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 19: you $ 200 back. And you should feel very grateful that
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 19: she's giving you those peanuts. It's just ridiculous. People will
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 19: see right through it. It's a scam. It's a election scam.
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 19: It's a campaign scam. The bottom line is, why did
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 19: she raise your utility rates 48 times? Why is it
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 19: for the average person $ 1, 000 more a year to pay
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 19: your utility bills? And she's going to give you 200
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 19: bucks a month before the election. You're supposed to feel grateful.
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 19: People aren't stupid. They're smart. They're going to see it
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 19: for what it is. And they're going to reject her
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 19: on election day because she is the worst governor in America.
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: I think she is. And maybe one of the worst ever.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: And she put us in the... Actually, she didn't. It
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 1: was her predecessor, Andrew Cuomo. He put us in this
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 1: position because he was horrible. And she just continued it
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: and is not making it any better. And you talked
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 1: about it yesterday. We got gold... We've got gold right
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: underneath our feet. We could be fracking here. Instead, this idiot,
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 1: she's an idiot, this governor. She buys it from Pennsylvania.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 1: Why would you buy it from another state? We have
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 1: it right here. And all these bills would go drastically down.
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: She's killing us.
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 19: Well, in Pennsylvania, with a governor that's a Democrat, they
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 19: allow the extraction of the natural gas. On the New
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 19: York side of the border under Kathy Hochul, we cannot.
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 19: And that's the reason why Pennsylvania's utility bills are 70% less.
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 19: 7-0% less than New York. Can I ask you a question?
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 1: I need you to answer this, okay? Because I'm not
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 1: that smart. You're pretty smart. No, I don't know. Thank you, though.
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 1: So we can do it here. We can do it.
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 1: But we don't. And so we pay another state. And
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: that state, like you just pointed out, has... much less
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 1: expensive bills going to their people. So can I ask you,
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 1: what is Kathy Hochul's reasoning behind screwing us and helping Pennsylvanians?
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 19: So she can tell her far left wing friends that
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 19: she's all green. She's wedded to the green energy scam.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 19: She's using Every payment that we make every month, she's
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 19: taking money out of it, and she's putting it into
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 19: a fund where she invests in things like wind turbines
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 19: in the middle of the ocean that produce very, very
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 19: little energy, extremely expensive, or solar farms in upstate New
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 19: York that are under snow three months out of the year.
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 19: It's all a scam. It's foreign corporations getting billions and
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 19: billions of dollars that we pay for every time we
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 19: pay our electric bill. And Kathy's getting millions of dollars
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 19: in political contributions from these firms. The fact of the
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 19: matter is that ends on day one when I become governor.
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 19: My sole focus will be to lower your utility bills.
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 19: I think I can cut them in half because we
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 19: will end the green energy scam. We're not going to
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 19: take that money out of your payment every month. And
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 19: we are going to extract that natural gas. materially increase
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 19: the supply of energy, which will bring costs down, and
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 19: we will bring utility bill relief to everybody in New
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 19: York because under Kathy Hochul with 48 rate hikes, people,
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 19: they just can't afford to live here anymore. They're dying.
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 1: Dying, yeah. And I think you said it would take, what,
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 1: about two months to be operational?
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 13: Oh, yeah.
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 19: The fact of the matter is I've talked, Sid, to
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 19: all these people natural gas companies that are dying to
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 19: do business in New York. They're all doing business in
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 19: Pennsylvania and other parts of the country and the world.
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 19: And they said, look, we can be operational in two months.
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 19: If you give us the green light, we're ready to go.
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 19: And that'll materially bring down the cost of utility bills.
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting.
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 19: And provide jobs and revenue for our state and economic activity.
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 19: We're still going to Pennsylvania now.
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 1: And now they said provide jobs. I'll get to this
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 1: because I'm about to bring up something else. But now
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 1: they said provide jobs. So she's at the very head
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 1: of this moratorium on data centers. And look, even Republicans
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 1: admit that you've got to be careful. Kind of like AI.
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 1: There needs to be some guardrails. There needs to be
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 1: things put in place to make sure they're safe. But
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 1: all data centers mean is jobs, growth, keeping up with
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 1: countries that are our enemies, right? Making your computer faster,
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 1: making your cell phone work better. I'm sorry, whether it's AI,
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 1: which again has its dangers, but why give it to
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 1: the Chinese or the data centers? What are people like
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: Kathy Hochul experiencing? and these Democrats screaming about?
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 19: Well, first of all, there are three concerns with data centers.
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 19: One is water supply because they use water. Two is
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 19: energy consumption. They use a lot of energy. And three,
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 19: that they're not going to drive up the assessments of
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 19: the surrounding areas and increase property taxes. So I've met
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 19: with the developers of AI. They are willing to put
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 19: in water recirculation systems so it doesn't increase the demand
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 19: for water, number one. Number two, they are willing to
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 19: provide their own energy generation, and they'll provide 120% of
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 19: what they need, and they'll give the other 20% back
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 19: to the host community, so that will lower their utility bills,
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 19: and they will guarantee property tax stabilization. And when local
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 19: governments in upstate New York hear that, then they want
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 19: those data centers because It solves their problems, and it
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 19: lowers their utility bills. It gives them property tax stabilization,
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 19: and it creates jobs and economic activity and prosperity in
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 19: their communities. Sid, you go to some of these towns
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 19: upstate New York, you want to cry.
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 11: I know. You want to cry.
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 19: I know. They're so poor. And here's another thing, Sid.
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 19: The bottom line is that in creating this economy, data
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 19: center development. We are keeping up with the rest of
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 19: the world. This is the fastest growing business in the world.
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 19: And you can't have the Empire State, as Kathy Hochul
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 19: has done, just ban them and ignore them. Work out
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 19: the issues. Sit down with both sides. Create a win-win situation.
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 19: That's what I would do as governor. Kathy Hochul just
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 19: sticks her head in the sand. and says, okay, we're
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 19: not going to do AI data development centers. That's going
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 19: to put us 20 years behind every other state and
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 19: behind every other country in economic development.
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: The fact is, she has no interest in making lives
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: better for New Yorkers. That's number one. You know, I
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 1: saw all of her commercials already. And really, my wife
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 1: Danielle made this point. I see her commercials. All of
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: her commercials are the same. It's not about Bruce Blakeman.
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 1: Kathy Hochul's commercials are all about Donald Trump. So I'm
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: yet to see, I'm yet to see Kathy Hochul say, hey,
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman, he's not about law and order. I'm yet
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 1: to see Kathy Hochul say, hey, Bruce Blakeman, he's about
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 1: to raise your taxes. Or, hey, Bruce Blakeman, he's okay
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: with some doctor cutting your little boy's ding-a-ling off so
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: he can become a girl. I don't see any of that.
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 1: You know why? Because your policies are the right ones.
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 1: So all of our commercials are... Pictures of you and Trump.
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 1: That's it. And she says time and time again, Bruce
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 1: Blakeman cares more about President Trump than he cares about you.
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 1: You talk about a lack of creativity and a complete lie.
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 1: And just watch those commercials. She's got nothing substantive. Nothing.
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: Zero policies. The fact that you're friends with Trump, that's
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: what she relies on. How pathetic is that?
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 19: Well, it's pretty pathetic. because she can't attack my record
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 19: because I haven't increased taxes now for the fifth year
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 19: in a row. In fact, I cut $ 150 million in taxes.
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 19: I've gotten seven bond upgrades.
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 11: U.S.
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 19: News & World Report says we're the safest county in America.
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 19: And I'm told that we are now at the top
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 19: of every county in the United States of people who
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 19: want to move into our county. So I've created an
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 19: atmosphere of prosperity. People are happy. But Kathy Hochul doesn't
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 19: talk about her record because she's made everybody miserable. We're
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 19: the highest taxed state in the United States of America.
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 19: Our utility bills are 70% higher than the national average.
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 19: She's the most pro-criminal governor in the United States of America.
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 19: So she doesn't want to talk about her record because
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 19: it's one of making people miserable. And my record is
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 19: one of making people happy. And that's what I want
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 19: to do for the people of the state of New York.
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 19: They're tired of being miserable. They want to be happy again.
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 19: With me as governor, I will make them happy by
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 19: putting New Yorkers first.
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 1: Damn right. There he is, my dear friend, the two-time
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 1: Nassau County executive and soon to be the next governor
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 1: of New York. Just a very impressive guy with a
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: big heart. And he loves all of you in New York.
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 1: My guy, Bruce Blakeman. Bruce, I love you. Great job.
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much.
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 11: Love you, Sid.
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 19: Tell J.D. I said hi.
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 1: I will. I'll give regards to the boss, too. I'll
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 1: see him tomorrow after J.D. He loves you, too. Bruce
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 1: Blakeman right there, everybody. Make sure you go out and
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 1: vote for Bruce to be our next governor come November.
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: Please save New York. There's only one way to save
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 1: New York right now, and that's to vote for Bruce Blakeman.
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 1: Peter King is next.
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 23: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 23: Podcast Network.
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 1: Excellent job by my friend Tim McCarthy. He realizes it.
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 1: He knows it. Recognizes Alphaville. That's the name of this band,
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 1: Forever Young. What a great song. You know, there was
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 1: a movie years ago, and it starred Kirk Cameron. Remember him?
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 1: He was in one of those sitcoms on ABC. Not
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 1: the one with Michael... Fox, who played Alex P. Keaton,
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 1: I forgot the name of that one, Growing, no, he
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 1: was in Growing Pains, I think, and he made a
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 1: movie years and years ago, and he played the lead
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 1: of the debate team, I forgot the name of the movie,
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 1: it was pretty good, they used that song here, Alphaville
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: Forever Young in that movie, I'm sure they've used it
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: a million times, and I'm sure that my next guest,
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 1: Peter King, his son Sean, loves that song, so here
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 1: he is, the great former congressman, Homeland Security, and in
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 1: my opinion, right at the top of the list with
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 1: Rudy Giuliani as our best local politicians ever, my friend
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 1: Peter King. Pete, good morning, buddy. How are you?
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 12: I'm doing fine, and I'm sure my son Sean will
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 12: love that shout-out. He's the big music guy in the family.
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 12: I'm way behind and all that. He's been talking about
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 12: YouTube for 40 years. Oh, my God.
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's great.
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 12: He's all over the place.
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 1: He likes a lot of the same stuff.
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 12: Now the big thing is... He's thinking now he's Oasis.
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 12: He travels all over the world.
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 13: Right, right.
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 11: Yeah, to look at those morons.
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I tell you.
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 1: I love it. I love those morons, those Gallagher brothers.
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 1: We love Oasis, me and Lou, and I've had those
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 1: conversations on text with your son, Sean, who's a great kid,
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 1: by the way. You got two great kids. Aaron is great, too.
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 1: Let me get to the big day tomorrow for me.
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 1: You're a guy that's been in a lot of meetings
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 1: over the years, diplomacy between Congress, Homeland Security, even now
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 1: out on Long Island helping people new candidates find their
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 1: way into winning, you know, winning moments. My meeting with J.D.
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 1: Vance tomorrow, what do you think that means?
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 12: Well, first of all, it's important that you go. But
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 12: I don't have to tell you this. Keep your eye
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 12: on J.D.
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 13: Vance.
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 12: I don't think he's making mistakes. I think what he
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 12: says about us being subservient to Israel, those are his
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 12: true feelings. And it's not enough if he just starts
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 12: saying the right thing. I'm concerned about what he really believes.
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 12: I mean, it's one thing if he's going to publicly,
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 12: maybe later on, just own Tucker Carlson. The fact that
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 12: he's remained his friend this long and been close to him,
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 12: to me, it speaks volumes about him. So, yeah, go
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 12: in there, you know, really come on strong as you can,
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 12: but in a very polite way, which it's hard for you.
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 12: But I would just keep in mind, it's not enough
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 12: that he says the right thing, because he's, I think,
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 12: betraying a lot of his true feelings. I think what
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 12: Marco Rubio says is what he believes. He is a
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 12: true advocate, not just for Israel, but Israel because it's
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 12: the United States ally, and we need them. And I'm
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 12: not a big fan of Ted Cruz, but he also
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 12: says what he believes. And I think that So they're
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 12: the people we have to look at.
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 19: And, again, if J.D.
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 12: Vance honestly comes around, that's one thing. But, you know,
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 12: you're a good barometer for sizing people up as to
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 12: whether or not he's just going to yes you to
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 12: death or you think you can really make an impression
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 12: on him and he can come around. But he can
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 12: realize the error of his ways. They really are. To
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 12: use the word subservience when you're dealing with Israel, talk
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 12: about a buzzword, a dog whistle you're sending out to
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 12: the anti-Semites in the party. I can understand him personally
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 12: saying they honestly disagree with a certain Israeli policy. That's legitimate.
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 12: But he goes beyond that. He sort of goes beyond that.
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 12: And also, past presidents have disagreed with Israel. Eisenhower did
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 12: during the CSO as Bush 41 did. But it was
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 12: never a feeling they were anti-Israel. These were honest differences
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 12: among friends. And there were no dog whistles, no secret signals. Anyway,
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 12: I'm glad you're the guy going in there because he
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 12: knows you have a following. He knows that people listen
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 12: to you. But again, I'm relying on you to get
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 12: a good gauge what his true views really are. Because
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 12: he can say one thing and then January 21st turn
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 12: around and screw all of us.
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 1: No, you're right. I'm actually glad you're coming off this way, Peter.
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 1: I wasn't sure. I know you're very pro-Israel and you
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 1: like Bibi, so this was the bet, I guess, that
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 1: you'd be like this. But look, he came out yesterday
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 1: and he said that Trump is breaking away from Israel.
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 1: And we know that's not true. Yes, he's critical of
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 1: Bibi and Israel every now and then. There's a variety
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 1: of reasons for that. But when he says what he
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 1: said yesterday, I'm going to tell him this. It may
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 1: as well be Tucker Carlson. I mean, even when he
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 1: sat there in Vegas and talked about the blood libel
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 1: versus the guilt libel, Tucker Carlson, it's almost like the
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 1: movie Ghost where Ted Danson jumps into the body of
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 1: Whoopi Goldberg. It's like Tucker Carlson literally jumps into his body.
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 1: He sounds like Tucker Carlson. And if you're running for president,
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 1: that's not a good thing.
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 12: And if he's saying subservient, we should no longer be subservient,
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 12: that's falling into the trap that we are subservient. I haven't.
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 12: We've never been. I mean, I've seen what there's been
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 12: in real difficulties with Israel. We're always standing with Israel.
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 12: There was always a dispute, if there were, between friends.
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 12: What's the best way to get it done? Never a
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 12: feeling that they were controlling our policy or they were
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 12: attempting to control our policy. So that, to me, is
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 12: totally wrong. If I could just go off the target
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 12: for one second.
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 1: Hold on. I did say Ted Danson. I meant to
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 1: say Patrick Swayze. But go ahead. I'm sorry.
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 12: I was going to say, the old fighter, Bobby Cassidy,
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 12: was a friend of mine. His son is a writer.
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 12: He's a great book out, Requiem for Heavyweight. And he's
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 12: a good evangelist. It's a great story. His father overcame alcoholism.
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 12: He was involved with gamblers and everything else. Became a
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 12: great father. and made it to the New York State
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 12: Boxing Hall. Great book, great human interest story, and I
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 12: conducted a conversation with Bobby last year. We had a
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 12: great crowd at his book signing event. The only negative
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 12: thing for me is, again, all these people say, you're
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 12: going to be on Sid tomorrow. How's Sid doing? I said,
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 12: I'm here to talk about Bobby Cassidy.
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 11: I'm here, you know.
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 12: I don't care about shit. Forget it.
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 13: Leave me alone.
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 12: So anyway, it was a great night. That put a
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 12: damper on it.
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Rich Lowry said the same thing earlier this morning.
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 1: I brought you up. I said, Peter King goes through
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 1: that all the time. The poor guy can't go anywhere.
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 1: He's a big deal, Pete King. Come on, Congress, Homeland Security.
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 1: They only want to talk about Sid, but I want
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 1: to actually read that book.
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 12: The book is Requiem for a Middleweight.
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 11: It's great.
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 12: And anyone who's ever had any kind of alcohol or
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 12: drug problem, gambling problem, and had terrible abuse as a kid,
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 12: I went on to become a great father, a great guy.
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 12: He was inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 12: of Fame. He died a few years ago. And he
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 12: really turned his life around. He was actually in prison
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 12: himself at one time and then became a rehab counselor
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 12: to guys coming out of jail, guys in jail. Great guy.
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 12: And his son is a great guy. So anyway, that's it.
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 12: Other than he had a great night last night.
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 1: I will buy the book and read the book. You know,
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 1: going back to Long Island for a second, and J.D.
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 1: Vance knows this too, Mike Lopetri, okay, if he wins
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 1: and he beats Swazi, if Janine Driscoll wins and she
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 1: beats Gillen, and even moving away from Long Island, going
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 1: to Rockland County, for example, if Mike Lawler wins and
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 1: beats that psycho Kate Connelly, These are the types of
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 1: people that J.D. Vance needs on his side. You know this.
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 1: And being that I'm in New York and I'm friends
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 1: with all these people, that would make it even easier
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 1: for the vice president. I think somewhere down deep he
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 1: knows that.
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 11: I think he does.
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 12: But he made one appearance on and on. He didn't
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 12: win any great friends. I mean, he showed up late,
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 12: left early, didn't do photos with people. Unlike when President
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 12: Trump was at— he was the president of the United States,
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 12: and he was in Nassau County last month. He met
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 12: with everybody. He was doing photos. He spoke for, like,
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 12: an hour and a.
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 19: Half, whatever it was.
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 12: He was terrific. So anyway, there's no great love there.
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 12: But listen, advance is still about any Democrat they come
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 12: up with. You mentioned Janine Driscoll. She's opening up her
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 12: new headquarters. and Roxville Center. I was with her the
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 12: other day. On Saturday, she was at a block party
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 12: that Melissa and Lance Zimmerman were involved with and Belmore.
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 12: And again, it was a good group of people. But
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 12: more than that, I was with her. She's going up
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 12: and down the street, talks to everybody, friendly. She's able
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 12: to communicate. She's a real person. She's got a bunch
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 12: of kids, son of the NYPD. She's a neighborhood girl,
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 12: neighborhood woman. We got brilliant at the same time. She
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 12: argues before the United States Court of Appeals. which is really,
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 12: she's everything we want in a candidate, and she represents
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 12: the real blue-collar neighborhood values. She would be a great
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 12: member of Congress down in your neighborhood down there, I
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 12: tell you.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 1: I love her. I love her. I love Janine. I
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 1: think she will be great. Hey, are you surprised, honestly,
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 1: when I've been talking about this, forever, even led to
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 1: a big fight between you and I. And I love
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 1: you like a brother, like a dad. Are you surprised
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 1: that Ukraine and Russia, this is still going on, and
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 1: it's not lightening up. I mean, Putin looks like he
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 1: wants to light those people up every day, and now
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 1: Trump is mad at Zelensky. He's blaming the price of
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 1: diesel fuel, not on Iran, but on Zelensky and Ukraine.
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 1: Are you surprised by all this?
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 12: Unfortunately, and I'm really disappointed in the president, blaming Zelensky
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 12: for the price of fuel. Here's a guy, his country
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 12: is being attacked, the first attack in Europe since the
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 12: end of World War II, and they're fighting violently. People
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 12: thought that was a two-week war. The fact that it's
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 12: going on shows the courage of the Ukrainian people. And
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 12: now we're not giving them the patriots they need, and
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 12: yet they're still fighting, going on and on. But the
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 12: main weapon they have is to be able to attack
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 12: into Russia itself, hit those supply depots, hit the fuel depots.
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 12: And now the president wants them not to. To me,
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 12: we should be standing with Ukraine. I'm not saying there's
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 12: American troops in there, but we have to send a
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 12: signal that whether it's Iran, whether it's Russia, which try to.
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 12: We're on the side of democratic forces, and we're going
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 12: to resist aggression. And we can do it without using
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 12: one American soldier, one American troop at all. And I
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 12: think Zelensky deserves our support. I don't know Zelensky.
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 13: I never met him.
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 12: But I do know that Putin is an evil guy.
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 12: And it's not just Ukraine. He's also, if you notice now,
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 12: taking shots into Lithuania, into Poland, into Germany. He wants
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 12: to spread his influence. Not that he's going to march
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 12: across Europe. He wants to build up his economic influence,
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 12: and that aids China, which is why China has been
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 12: helping Russia so much. Now, I wish the president would.
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 12: Don't blame Zelensky. And by the way, as far as
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 12: the price of fuel, this, in the short term, is
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 12: a price we may have to pay. The president's doing
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 12: the right thing in Iran. To me, that's, if you want,
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 12: people say, you know, don't send American, you're not going
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 12: to send any American troops into battle if we do
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 12: it the way we're doing it now. There have been
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 12: Americans killed, but they're not in battle, but it is
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 12: a war. And J.D. Vance should not be saying it's
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 12: not a war. It is a war, but we want
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 12: to stop a larger war. I think the president should
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 12: continue doing what he's doing in Iran. and destroy them.
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 12: You can't deal with these people. And also, I think
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 12: you should start telling the American people that this is
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 12: not going to be over tomorrow. It may not even
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 12: be over right after the election. But it's a fight
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 12: we have to make to prevent a larger tragedy in
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 12: the future. No one wants five years from now, whoever
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 12: the next president happens to be, to suddenly have Iran
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 12: launching nuclear weapons, and they say, why didn't Trump do
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 12: more about it back in 2026 and 2027? So he
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 12: is doing that now. We never want to be in
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 12: another 9-11 position, and we've taken preemptive action.
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 11: It's not always easy.
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 12: There's no such thing as easy war, but it is
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 12: the right thing to do.
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 1: So on the way out, here's your moment, okay, because
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 1: I ruin your moments all the time, but here's yours.
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 1: So we have a friend in common. He's a very,
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 1: very tough guy, but a very, very sweet guy, and
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 1: his wife is lovely, too. And he just said to me,
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 1: I got to tell you about Pete King. Every Tuesday morning,
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 1: when I sit at that table talking about counterterrorism with
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 1: him and the Nassau County Police Commissioner, Pat Ryder, there's
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 1: nobody better ever. You want to take a guess who
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about?
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 12: Is that Fenton?
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 1: The great Fenton McCormack said you are the star every
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 1: Tuesday morning.
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 12: Well, Fenton is great. Pat Ryder is great. Nassau County
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 12: police are great. And so now I'm proud of Fenton
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 12: as a friend. Pat Ryder was a friend. In fact,
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 12: Pat Ryder was the main speaker at the 9-11 commemoration
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 12: the other day in Seaford. He gave a great speech.
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 1: How did that go? I heard that place was packed.
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 1: I heard it was great.
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 12: Tremendous turnout, tremendous turnout, and people keep coming back every year.
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 12: And this year it was moved up several hours to
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 12: accommodate Rosh Hashanah. And we had, again, it started at
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 12: 5 o'clock rather than 7 o'clock. The crowd was overflowing
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 12: the grounds of the high school out into the street.
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 12: Pat Riley gave a tremendous speech telling people never to
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 12: get caught off guard again. And he made it clear
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 12: that the enemy is Islamist terrorism. There's no equivalency between
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 12: us and the enemy. We're right, they're wrong. We have
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 12: to stand together as one.
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 1: 100 percent. Well, Peter King, you know how much I
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 1: love you. You're just an amazing man. You've been so
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 1: great to Long Island, New York, and now you're great
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 1: to W.A.B.C. These appearances every Wednesday are nothing short of terrific.
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 1: So thank you for this, Pete. My best to Rosemary.
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 1: We'll talk again very soon. See you, pal.
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 12: You got it.
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 13: Thanks.
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 1: God bless you. There he is, the amazing congressman, Homeland Security,
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 1: just in a A great New Yorker. Proud to call
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 1: him a friend. Pete King. Some more Alpaville. Gordon Chang. Oh,
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 1: my God. China. They want to kill us. Still to come.
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 23: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 23: Podcast Network.
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 1: One of the great songs of all time, Elton John,
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 1: Yellow Brick Road. You know, a week ago today, I
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 1: do this a lot. I don't know why I do it,
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 1: but I do it. Like a week ago, a month ago,
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 1: a year ago. But a week ago today, Droshi Boyd.
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 1: I arrived in Dallas, Texas a week ago today. We
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 1: did our show this morning, our first show from Dallas.
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 1: It was great. And then we did our second show
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 1: a week ago tomorrow when I spoke to President Trump
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 1: for about an hour. And now, in all likelihood, I
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 1: will see President Trump in the Oval Office tomorrow, hopefully,
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 1: after I'm done with my meeting with the Vice President J.D.
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 23: Vance.
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 1: I spoke to Mark Levin yesterday. During this program today.
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 1: Because he's my guy. He's my Yoda. He's the smartest
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 1: and the best. And I love him. And I was
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 1: worried you'd be mad at me. People are like mad
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 1: at me. What are you doing? I know that. You're
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 1: not breaking news. I love you. And Mike Henry. You're
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 1: not breaking news. I'm aware of Tucker. All of it.
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 1: But like I said earlier. when the Vice President of
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 1: the United States has his people reach out and wants
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 1: to host you for a meeting because he cares what
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 1: I think as a representative for New York, for Jewish people,
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 1: for Americans, for everybody, Christians, you name it, then what
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 1: kind of idiot would say no? It doesn't mean I'm
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 1: supporting J.D. Vance. I'm going to endorse J.D. Vance. Anybody
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 1: who knows anything about me, Anything about me knows that
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 1: 16 years ago, I, maybe more than anybody, helped Marco
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 1: Rubio to his very first ever state Senate victory. He
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 1: admits that today. He was on this show months ago.
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 1: He admitted it. He was running against a guy named
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 1: Kendrick Meeks and the governor of the state at the
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 1: time before DeSantis and Rick Scott. A guy by the
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 1: name of Charlie Crist. And I ended up doing a debate.
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 1: I had a sports talk show. I wasn't doing any
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 1: politics back then. But because Marco was a big sports fan,
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 1: still is, huge sports fan, his wife was a Dolphin cheerleader,
• 2:11:16
  Speaker 1: he had his guy Alex Burgos reach out to me,
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 1: and I did the debate on my sports show on
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 1: the beach at a bar in Fort Lauderdale. So when
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 1: he won and he became state senator in Florida in
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 1: about 2010, he called me right away. And then when
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 1: the United States took out Osama bin Laden, We got
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 1: a call to the radio station from a number that
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 1: we didn't recognize, and it was Marco Rubio calling in cold.
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 1: So don't talk to me about Rubio. I'm friendly with
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 1: him longer than most of you know him, okay? I
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 1: know all about it. Of course, he's my guy. But
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 1: he's not running yet. When he throws his hat in
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 1: the ring, okay. But right now, I got to worry
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 1: about Republicans winning in 2028. I'm a Republican. I'm a
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 1: MAGA Republican, okay? And if it turns out that Marco
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 1: doesn't run because Trump anoints J.D. Vance, then guess what?
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 1: Like it or not, I'm going to endorse J.D. Vance. Sorry,
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to vote for AOC. All right? Or
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom or Kamala Harris or any of these dopes.
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 1: Not going to happen. So I feel if I go there,
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 1: when I go there tomorrow... and I tell him how
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 1: I feel and speak on behalf of all of you,
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 1: that doesn't hurt. It may not help. He don't care.
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 1: I say, whatever. Tucker is my boy, and Israel is good, but,
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 1: you know, we got to calm down there, and who
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 1: knows what he's going to say. I don't know. I'm
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 1: going on with about 10 different things that I think
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 1: he needs to do to be a better candidate, including
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 1: stop killing my guy Trump. That would help. Antichrist. A
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of things. I just, there's a lot there.
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 1: I get it. But right now, right now, because Rubio
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 1: is not running yet, if at all, and Ted Cruz
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 1: ain't going to win, and I love Teddy. Right now,
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 1: he's our best shot at winning the presidency in 2028.
• 2:13:18
  Speaker 1: How am I going to ignore him, you know, or
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 1: anybody else? So stop telling me like I don't know
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 1: what's going on. I know what's going on. I talk
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 1: about it every day, 20 hours a day. I got
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 1: BB sending me congratulations messages, thanking me from Israel. Okay?
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 1: They know how much I care. They know what it
• 2:13:38
  Speaker 1: means to me. But I'm not going to just blow
• 2:13:41
  Speaker 1: this opportunity because I'm mad about whatever it is he's thinking.
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 1: I'm going to take this opportunity to tell him, hey, stupid,
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 1: fix this, do this, or you've got no chance. And
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 1: if he doesn't want to do it, fine. But stop
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 1: telling me what I should know. Like you're telling me
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 1: something I don't know. I mean, give me a break, please.
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 1: I was on the phone with Trump for an hour
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 1: last week. I talked to him about Tucker Carlson. I
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 1: brought Tucker Carlson up today, not Justin?
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 9: Yeah, you did.
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for the millionth time, if you missed it. I
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 1: played it a million times. Here's President Trump on this
• 2:14:19
  Speaker 1: show five days ago. I bring up J.D. and Tucker Carlson.
• 2:14:23
  Speaker 1: Cut number 14. to Tucker Carlson for many years.
• 2:14:30
  Speaker 5: Many years.
• 2:14:31
  Speaker 21: And you decided months ago, maybe a year ago already,
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 21: that you're done with him.
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 1: You banned him.
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 11: J.D.
• 2:14:37
  Speaker 1: Comes out and says, not going to do it. The
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 1: guy's my good friend. We're best friends. And I'm not
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 1: going to allow politics to dictate who my friends are.
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 1: But if he really wants.
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 21: To win in 2028, above and beyond the Jews with
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 21: Tucker Carlson, Tucker Carlson also called you the Antichrist. So
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 21: if I'm a Trump supporter and I'm a Jew.
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 1: J.D. Vance needs to be careful.
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 21: That's my advice for him.
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 12: Well, you know, I've known Tucker Carlson for a.
• 2:15:05
  Speaker 18: Long time, and I've been on and off with him
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 18: for years, very much on and off with him. He's
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 18: very inconsistent, and maybe I am, but I will tell
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 18: you he's very inconsistent. So I've been on and off.
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 18: He is very much a fair weather guy. Of course,
• 2:15:22
  Speaker 18: I dumped him a few months ago because I just
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 18: felt it was inappropriate. He was saying, Bad things, very
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 18: bad things. Not so much about me, but about a
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 18: lot of other things that are taking place. And you
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 18: understand that. He would hit somebody like Mark Levin, who
• 2:15:38
  Speaker 18: I think is fantastic, by the way.
• 2:15:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know how you do.
• 2:15:41
  Speaker 1: Very close.
• 2:15:41
  Speaker 12: Mark Levin and others.
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 18: And I just personally, I didn't like it. But no,
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 18: I've had a very checkered relationship. I would say that
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 18: Tucker Carlson never liked me. I did a lot for
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 18: him in a way, but I would say that he never,
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 18: in other words, you know with people you have chemistry, right?
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 18: Like I have a chemistry with you. People you have chemistry,
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 18: sometimes you don't. And if you don't have it, there's
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 18: not a damn thing you can do about it. And
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 18: Tucker and I have had a very checkered relationship.
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 1: So I'm aware of all the pitfalls and all the
• 2:16:17
  Speaker 1: issues with J.D., and that's why I'm going tomorrow. I
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 1: don't hold it against me, okay? You know, well, but Sid,
• 2:16:23
  Speaker 1: you got mad at this woman. They were talking to clavicular.
• 2:16:26
  Speaker 11: Really?
• 2:16:26
  Speaker 1: You're going to compare some influencer, some douchebag influencer who
• 2:16:32
  Speaker 1: may or may not have committed rape to the vice
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 1: president of the United States. Really? Well, you got mad
• 2:16:39
  Speaker 1: when Robert Kraft said he'd sit down with McLemore. Yeah,
• 2:16:41
  Speaker 1: I did. Who cares about McLemore? Some half-assed entertainer who's
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 1: been saying anti-Semitic things for 12 years. And Ed Sheeran's
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 1: a pussy. And I would tell Mr. Danny Bonaduce look-alike
• 2:16:55
  Speaker 1: that he's a pussy right to his face. I don't
• 2:16:58
  Speaker 1: care about McLemore or Clavicular. This guy may be the
• 2:17:01
  Speaker 1: next president of the United States. I would hope that
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 1: anybody who had the opportunity to speak to this guy
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 1: would take him up on that. Mark Levin's not mad
• 2:17:14
  Speaker 1: at me. Sean Hannity's not mad at me. None of
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 1: these guys are. So if you're out there and you're
• 2:17:19
  Speaker 1: having a tough time, get over it. Laura Luma may
• 2:17:22
  Speaker 1: be a little mad. I don't know. So get over it, okay, Siggy?
• 2:17:25
  Speaker 1: Get over it. We'll see what happens tomorrow. We got
• 2:17:30
  Speaker 1: bigger problems. China wants us all dead. They're going to
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 1: take over AI. They're going to kill all of us.
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow's meeting will not even happen.
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 13: Right?
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 1: China can drop the bomb today. We're going to find
• 2:17:41
  Speaker 1: out if they are. Gordon Chang, he's coming up next.
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 1: Sid and Friends.
• 2:17:46
  Speaker 2: In the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 2:17:51
  Speaker 1: We played this song on purpose trying to go for
• 2:17:55
  Speaker 1: Gordon Chang because he is booked to come on and
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 1: talk about China. But according to Justin, he may be dead.
• 2:18:01
  Speaker 1: We can't find him.
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 9: I have no idea where Gordon Chang is.
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 1: Has he ever? I think he's never done that, Gordon.
• 2:18:07
  Speaker 9: He's never done this.
• 2:18:08
  Speaker 1: I'm shocked, actually.
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 11: I know.
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 1: He is like the most responsible.
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 9: Oh, my God.
• 2:18:13
  Speaker 1: He never misses an appearance. And she's great.
• 2:18:14
  Speaker 9: His wonderful wife, Lydia, is fantastic with this stuff. She
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 9: gets right back to me all the time.
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 1: So what happened?
• 2:18:21
  Speaker 9: Something serious must be going on, because this is unlike
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 9: the great Gordon G.
• 2:18:26
  Speaker 1: Chang. It's something Justin did, probably.
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:18:29
  Speaker 1: Well, did you, according to Kevin Drosh... Somebody called and
• 2:18:33
  Speaker 1: was speaking Chinese? Is that true?
• 2:18:36
  Speaker 11: No.
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 1: No. No, okay. I know, he said some Chinese guys
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 1: on the phone.
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 9: No, he said to me, well, I'm already playing China
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 9: Girl right now, so you got to get some level
• 2:18:50
  Speaker 9: of a Chinese man on the horn right now, just
• 2:18:52
  Speaker 9: so we can keep it topical.
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 2:18:56
  Speaker 1: Well, we wanted to talk about the AI race. which
• 2:19:00
  Speaker 1: President Trump keeps saying over and over again. We got
• 2:19:04
  Speaker 1: to beat the Chinese. Charlie Gasparino agreed yesterday. That's a
• 2:19:08
  Speaker 1: big deal. Rich Lowry, the editor of the National Review,
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 1: he agreed today. Sid Rosenberg agrees. So I guess that's
• 2:19:18
  Speaker 1: the answer. But everybody admits you need some guardrails and
• 2:19:23
  Speaker 1: there are some dangers.
• 2:19:24
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 2:19:26
  Speaker 1: But I think it was probably Rich who said this morning,
• 2:19:27
  Speaker 1: but what are we talking about here? And I asked
• 2:19:30
  Speaker 1: this from Charlie yesterday. Like, is AI going to be
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 1: able to launch some type of attack that's going to
• 2:19:39
  Speaker 1: release nuclear weapons? Like, you know, I've heard words like cataclysmic.
• 2:19:44
  Speaker 1: I've heard words like Armageddon. I swear to God, I've
• 2:19:48
  Speaker 1: heard these words like the end of civilization, if in
• 2:19:51
  Speaker 1: fact AI and their bots do what they want to do.
• 2:19:55
  Speaker 1: And I admit this. I'm ignorant. I have no idea how.
• 2:20:00
  Speaker 1: What exactly will AI be capable of doing that we're
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 1: actually talking about the possible extinction of the world? And
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 1: no one can really answer that for me.
• 2:20:11
  Speaker 9: No, my whole thing is.
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 1: In practical terms.
• 2:20:13
  Speaker 9: You could just unplug these things, man. I mean, you
• 2:20:16
  Speaker 9: can kill them just as easily as you created them.
• 2:20:19
  Speaker 1: Are you sure about that?
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah, but if these guys are coming out now, all
• 2:20:22
  Speaker 9: of these developers are coming out and saying, Hey, we
• 2:20:24
  Speaker 9: need to put guardrails on this. We kind of screwed
• 2:20:27
  Speaker 9: up in the way we developed it. And the initial
• 2:20:30
  Speaker 9: prompt that we gave AI wasn't necessarily, hey, you need
• 2:20:33
  Speaker 9: to consistently benefit humanity. It was more so.
• 2:20:37
  Speaker 1: How do you know about this?
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 9: You need to become a winner.
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 1: I don't understand how you even know this.
• 2:20:41
  Speaker 9: Because they said it.
• 2:20:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know. What are you watching? When are you
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 1: watching this?
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 9: I'm not really watching it. I'm just reading tweets.
• 2:20:48
  Speaker 24: Okay.
• 2:20:49
  Speaker 1: He's winging it.
• 2:20:49
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm completely winging it. You know what?
• 2:20:51
  Speaker 1: I'm not afraid of it at all.
• 2:20:53
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 2:20:53
  Speaker 16: Because this morning, I realized that it was the anniversary
• 2:20:55
  Speaker 16: of the album Sports by Huey Lewis.
• 2:20:57
  Speaker 1: Is that right? It was yesterday. Huge. September 15th.
• 2:21:00
  Speaker 9: So I looked up with ChatGBT what year it came out.
• 2:21:03
  Speaker 1: It told me 1980.
• 2:21:04
  Speaker 3: 1980.
• 2:21:05
  Speaker 1: And I went, that doesn't sound right. And I double
• 2:21:06
  Speaker 1: checked it. It was 1983. So they made a mistake.
• 2:21:08
  Speaker 1: They don't even know when Huey Lewis Sports came out.
• 2:21:11
  Speaker 1: They're going to take over the world. Now, pretty good point.
• 2:21:17
  Speaker 1: If that's your reasoning, Kevin Drost, it's hard to argue
• 2:21:19
  Speaker 1: with any of that. Somehow Huey Lewis and AI has
• 2:21:22
  Speaker 1: never mentioned the same sentence before. It's very scientific. Now,
• 2:21:26
  Speaker 1: was that album I Want a New Drug? Yeah, I
• 2:21:29
  Speaker 1: believe so. And The Heart of Rock and Roll. The
• 2:21:31
  Speaker 1: Heart of Rock and Roll is the what? It's in Cleveland.
• 2:21:34
  Speaker 1: It's in Cleveland. That's right. Very good. Very good.
• 2:21:37
  Speaker 11: Sure. All right.
• 2:21:38
  Speaker 1: Maybe we'll play some Huey Lewis on the way out.
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 9: But I'm just saying, then kill it and start over.
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 9: If you already screwed up, then kill it. You already
• 2:21:47
  Speaker 9: developed it. AI went from being a very novice thing
• 2:21:51
  Speaker 9: to being very, very smart within a matter of a year,
• 2:21:55
  Speaker 9: maybe a year and a half. So you already know
• 2:21:58
  Speaker 9: how to do it. So just, you know, kill it
• 2:22:00
  Speaker 9: all and start from scratch. I don't understand the big
• 2:22:02
  Speaker 9: issue there. I mean, I know the big issue. It's China.
• 2:22:05
  Speaker 9: You know, and we want to keep up with them.
• 2:22:07
  Speaker 9: And they're not going to stop. So why would we stop?
• 2:22:09
  Speaker 9: But then we're just going to both keep going until
• 2:22:12
  Speaker 9: AI kills us all.
• 2:22:13
  Speaker 1: But how?
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 9: I don't know how. It'll be smarter than that. Well,
• 2:22:16
  Speaker 9: you seem like you know a lot about it.
• 2:22:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 2:22:19
  Speaker 9: No, the issue is we will cease to understand it.
• 2:22:22
  Speaker 9: Our understanding of how it develops and how it grows.
• 2:22:25
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 2:22:26
  Speaker 9: Will be slower than AI. How do you know this?
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 9: This is what these nerds are talking about.
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 1: I know, but you're watching the Yankees in porn. Yes, yes, yes.
• 2:22:38
  Speaker 1: Watching your girlfriend walk up the ladder above to your
• 2:22:41
  Speaker 1: second-story bed.
• 2:22:42
  Speaker 9: Well, have you checked out the AI porn industry lately? Man,
• 2:22:45
  Speaker 9: it is thriving.
• 2:22:46
  Speaker 1: All kidding aside, no, all kidding aside, there's actually a
• 2:22:49
  Speaker 1: big fight in that industry. Yeah, of course there is.
• 2:22:52
  Speaker 1: Because people don't like it.
• 2:22:54
  Speaker 19: No.
• 2:22:54
  Speaker 1: Because it's not real. Well. I've never seen it.
• 2:22:57
  Speaker 9: Well, you have all these, you know, lonely losers in
• 2:22:59
  Speaker 9: their basement, fat, ugly, gross, disgusting guys that tap away
• 2:23:03
  Speaker 9: on their computers and they can't go outside and get
• 2:23:05
  Speaker 9: a real woman. So they go online and they pay
• 2:23:08
  Speaker 9: to create their, you know, prototypical perfect girlfriend.
• 2:23:11
  Speaker 1: But wasn't that you like three months ago?
• 2:23:13
  Speaker 22: Yes.
• 2:23:13
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 2:23:14
  Speaker 1: That's what I thought, yeah. Now you're a big stalker.
• 2:23:17
  Speaker 1: Now you got a cute girl. She got big boobs.
• 2:23:19
  Speaker 9: She could be AI, too.
• 2:23:21
  Speaker 1: Who knows? She's real.
• 2:23:23
  Speaker 11: Maybe.
• 2:23:23
  Speaker 1: Have you met her? I've never met her. This goes
• 2:23:26
  Speaker 1: back to the Joseph Abood story.
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 9: Oh, here we go.
• 2:23:29
  Speaker 1: Wait, hold on.
• 2:23:29
  Speaker 9: The phone's ringing.
• 2:23:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. This could be Gordon Chang. No one's
• 2:23:32
  Speaker 1: ever seen Abood's wife, but he's got two gorgeous daughters.
• 2:23:34
  Speaker 1: What time can I take this guy to? In fact,
• 2:23:36
  Speaker 1: it is Gordon, because you're going to have to break
• 2:23:38
  Speaker 1: at some point. You'll have to let me know in
• 2:23:39
  Speaker 1: my ear. Could be Gordon. Is this Gordo? Here he is,
• 2:23:45
  Speaker 1: and you must follow him on Twitter, at Gordon G. Chang,
• 2:23:50
  Speaker 1: my dear friend Gordon, who's never late and never not
• 2:23:53
  Speaker 1: shows up. So I'm glad you're here, Gordon. Everything okay?
• 2:23:58
  Speaker 11: We're in California, and I got the time difference wrong,
• 2:24:01
  Speaker 11: and so apologies, Sid.
• 2:24:03
  Speaker 1: Oh my God, it's only 6.47 in the morning. Why
• 2:24:05
  Speaker 1: did Lydia do that to you?
• 2:24:08
  Speaker 11: Well, because we love being on your show, and we
• 2:24:12
  Speaker 11: will wake up at any hour.
• 2:24:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, thank you, Gordon. You actually do mean that, and
• 2:24:16
  Speaker 1: I love you for saying that. Thank you. Well, look,
• 2:24:18
  Speaker 1: it's an important conversation today. I actually do need you.
• 2:24:21
  Speaker 1: This AI stuff, I don't know anything about it. I mean,
• 2:24:24
  Speaker 1: I know enough about it where I can talk about
• 2:24:26
  Speaker 1: it with you and Charlie Gaspino, but this fear that
• 2:24:32
  Speaker 1: if it gets out of control, AI can, quote, destroy
• 2:24:36
  Speaker 1: the world. I have no idea, Gordon Chang, in practical terms,
• 2:24:41
  Speaker 1: practical terms, how that could happen. Could it happen?
• 2:24:46
  Speaker 11: Well, it's possible, but not likely. Now, the way it's
• 2:24:50
  Speaker 11: possible is you've got artificial intelligence, and at some point
• 2:24:54
  Speaker 11: it's going to be smarter than we are. If you
• 2:24:57
  Speaker 11: put it into a humanoid robot, they can run faster
• 2:25:00
  Speaker 11: than we can. They can jump higher than we can. Then, yeah,
• 2:25:04
  Speaker 11: I get a little bit worried, but we're humans and
• 2:25:07
  Speaker 11: we can deal with this. But the point is, there's
• 2:25:11
  Speaker 11: a lot of fear mongering and this idea that it
• 2:25:14
  Speaker 11: could take us down in six months. That's just wrong.
• 2:25:17
  Speaker 11: I mean, yes, it could turn off the lights, but no,
• 2:25:21
  Speaker 11: it's not going to cause the extinction of humanity.
• 2:25:24
  Speaker 1: But isn't China, or you and I have been having
• 2:25:26
  Speaker 1: these conversations for seven years. Isn't China already capable? Haven't
• 2:25:31
  Speaker 1: they already done this with cyber attacks? Shut off lights,
• 2:25:35
  Speaker 1: gotten into our water systems, into our electrical grids. Hasn't
• 2:25:38
  Speaker 1: that already happened?
• 2:25:40
  Speaker 11: Yes, it has. And the Iranians did this a couple
• 2:25:43
  Speaker 11: of years ago when they got into, for instance, the
• 2:25:46
  Speaker 11: water system of Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, which is a small town
• 2:25:50
  Speaker 11: near Pittsburgh. So, yeah, the Chinese, the Iranians, the Russians,
• 2:25:56
  Speaker 11: they've hit hospitals. They have hit electric grids, water systems,
• 2:26:02
  Speaker 11: as I just mentioned. They're in our networks, millions of
• 2:26:07
  Speaker 11: Chinese cyber attacks a day.
• 2:26:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. Come on, a million times with the airlines,
• 2:26:14
  Speaker 1: it's all them. So, you know, I guess AI will
• 2:26:17
  Speaker 1: take it further and make it even worse, but it's
• 2:26:20
  Speaker 1: not like they're going to do something we haven't seen
• 2:26:22
  Speaker 1: before and I got to tell you, again, as a
• 2:26:25
  Speaker 1: novice with this, I'm with President Trump. There's no way
• 2:26:29
  Speaker 1: in a million years, even with the possible dangers, I'm
• 2:26:33
  Speaker 1: going to be okay with China beating us, the United States,
• 2:26:37
  Speaker 1: in this race. By the way, I'm not okay with
• 2:26:40
  Speaker 1: any country beating us in any race, but certainly not
• 2:26:43
  Speaker 1: China with AI. Isn't Trump right?
• 2:26:47
  Speaker 11: Trump is 100% right. When Trump said, whoever wins AI wins,
• 2:26:52
  Speaker 11: he was absolutely correct because this is such a powerful technology.
• 2:26:58
  Speaker 11: The country that dominates AI will dominate the economy. They'll
• 2:27:01
  Speaker 11: dominate military. They'll dominate every phase of life. So Americans
• 2:27:06
  Speaker 11: need to get behind our president on this because, you know,
• 2:27:10
  Speaker 11: as bad as people may think AI is, AI in
• 2:27:14
  Speaker 11: the hands of a totalitarian state like China is going
• 2:27:17
  Speaker 11: to be much worse. The only way we are going
• 2:27:20
  Speaker 11: to have AI work for humanity is if Americans dominate it.
• 2:27:26
  Speaker 11: If we put our safeguards in it, we get the
• 2:27:28
  Speaker 11: world to adopt our AI models. We'll be OK, Sid. But,
• 2:27:33
  Speaker 11: you know, these standards aren't going to emerge if China
• 2:27:36
  Speaker 11: controls AI.
• 2:27:38
  Speaker 1: Now, I got a buddy and he sits on these pentagrams.
• 2:27:40
  Speaker 1: meetings all the time. And I don't think I'm telling
• 2:27:42
  Speaker 1: you information that's classified. I don't think so. But he
• 2:27:46
  Speaker 1: says to me, he goes, Sid, we're already fighting all wars,
• 2:27:49
  Speaker 1: Iran with AI. You know, the days of a bunch
• 2:27:52
  Speaker 1: of generals sitting around for hours and hours and hours
• 2:27:55
  Speaker 1: and hours doesn't happen that way. So we're already we've
• 2:27:59
  Speaker 1: already been utilizing AI in our military for years. So, yeah,
• 2:28:04
  Speaker 1: to make it better, improve it, especially for us, because
• 2:28:08
  Speaker 1: we're not an evil country like some of our rivals
• 2:28:11
  Speaker 1: like China makes a whole bunch of sense. But I
• 2:28:13
  Speaker 1: know you know this. We're already using it.
• 2:28:17
  Speaker 11: Yeah, we're already using it. And also, when you look
• 2:28:20
  Speaker 11: at every business, every business of any size uses AI.
• 2:28:26
  Speaker 11: So it's there. And it has tremendous benefits for the world.
• 2:28:31
  Speaker 11: So what we have are some people who want to
• 2:28:35
  Speaker 11: control others. They believe in government controlling everything. And, you know,
• 2:28:41
  Speaker 11: I won't name names other than to say there's an
• 2:28:44
  Speaker 11: independent senator from Vermont who wants to stop the United
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 11: States from AI at all. So clearly we have got
• 2:28:52
  Speaker 11: to understand that President Trump is right. We've got to continue.
• 2:28:56
  Speaker 11: We cannot allow our enemies to control the world's most
• 2:28:59
  Speaker 11: powerful technology. It's as simple as that.
• 2:29:02
  Speaker 1: That senator, I know he's an older guy, and I
• 2:29:04
  Speaker 1: feel bad saying this, but I don't. He's a douchebag,
• 2:29:06
  Speaker 1: and I will say his name. His name is Bernie Sanders. But,
• 2:29:09
  Speaker 1: you know, getting back to the United States versus China
• 2:29:14
  Speaker 1: in this war... There is a lot of people who
• 2:29:17
  Speaker 1: believe that it's not about that, that really the Democrats,
• 2:29:23
  Speaker 1: Gordon Chang, I know Elon Musk has jumped in, and
• 2:29:25
  Speaker 1: he may not be a Democrat.
• 2:29:26
  Speaker 11: I don't know.
• 2:29:26
  Speaker 1: I think he is, to be honest. But I know
• 2:29:28
  Speaker 1: he was with Trump and Dozier. I think he's a Democrat.
• 2:29:30
  Speaker 1: But their argument is it's the Democrats. You just said him.
• 2:29:34
  Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders is yelling and screaming. Barack Obama is yelling
• 2:29:39
  Speaker 1: and screaming. So the Democrats are running out of real
• 2:29:42
  Speaker 1: policy to fight Trump. the Republicans on come midterms outside
• 2:29:48
  Speaker 1: of Trump and Iran, Trump and Iran, and the hating
• 2:29:50
  Speaker 1: on Israel. They love hating on Israel, which is so grotesque.
• 2:29:53
  Speaker 1: That's what they do. This, it seems to be Gordon,
• 2:29:57
  Speaker 1: their new battle cry, their new policy war with the Republicans.
• 2:30:03
  Speaker 1: Do you believe that's what the Democrats are actually doing?
• 2:30:07
  Speaker 11: Yes, I do. And by the way, I'm not a
• 2:30:09
  Speaker 11: Republican and I will say it's the Democrats. Um, And
• 2:30:13
  Speaker 11: the problem is that they believe in big government. They
• 2:30:15
  Speaker 11: don't believe in independent entities in society like businesses. And
• 2:30:21
  Speaker 11: they want to control us. So, yeah, it's absolutely 100
• 2:30:25
  Speaker 11: percent wrong. And they're doing China's work on this. I mean,
• 2:30:28
  Speaker 11: I'm not saying they're pro-communist because there are some Republicans
• 2:30:33
  Speaker 11: who do the same thing. You know, their messaging is
• 2:30:37
  Speaker 11: in line with Beijing's. But in this case, on AI,
• 2:30:41
  Speaker 11: which is the most important question facing the American public,
• 2:30:45
  Speaker 11: the Democrats are lining up with Beijing on this. And
• 2:30:49
  Speaker 11: because Beijing knows that it is far behind the United
• 2:30:52
  Speaker 11: States on AI. Yes, Chinese frontier models are only months
• 2:30:57
  Speaker 11: behind our frontier models, but we are so far ahead
• 2:31:01
  Speaker 11: in AI infrastructure. So, for instance, in compute processing power,
• 2:31:06
  Speaker 11: we had in April... 5,427 data centers. The Chinese, how
• 2:31:12
  Speaker 11: many did they have, Sid? It was 449. Wow. So
• 2:31:17
  Speaker 11: just to give you an example why this matters, in July,
• 2:31:20
  Speaker 11: the Chinese released a stunningly good AI model, Kimi K3.
• 2:31:26
  Speaker 11: But Moonshot AI, the company behind it, they could not
• 2:31:30
  Speaker 11: allow any more subscriptions for Kimi K3 because they didn't
• 2:31:34
  Speaker 11: have the compute. That shows you we are so far
• 2:31:38
  Speaker 11: ahead of the Chinese, and there's a lot of defeatism
• 2:31:40
  Speaker 11: in this country. President Trump is absolutely right on AI.
• 2:31:45
  Speaker 1: So what do you think happens? I think September 24th
• 2:31:48
  Speaker 1: is a very big day. Not the same day that
• 2:31:50
  Speaker 1: Bibi comes from Israel and President Xi comes from China.
• 2:31:54
  Speaker 1: I think it's the same day. So he's supposed to
• 2:31:57
  Speaker 1: be here in less than two weeks. Last time we
• 2:32:00
  Speaker 1: saw those two guys together, it was a home game
• 2:32:02
  Speaker 1: for China, you remember, right? And then Trump came back,
• 2:32:05
  Speaker 1: and not long after that, had this conference that he
• 2:32:09
  Speaker 1: played around the world on network TV about how China
• 2:32:12
  Speaker 1: basically rigged the 2020 election. So now they come here. Again,
• 2:32:17
  Speaker 1: I think it's the 24th. What do you think happens?
• 2:32:20
  Speaker 1: What's the dynamic between Trump and Xi when he gets here?
• 2:32:25
  Speaker 13: Oh, wow.
• 2:32:25
  Speaker 11: I wish I knew the answer to that question, because
• 2:32:30
  Speaker 11: there's so much going on that we cannot see. My
• 2:32:34
  Speaker 11: sense is, and it's just a guess, that the Chinese
• 2:32:38
  Speaker 11: don't compromise very much. They don't give Trump very much.
• 2:32:42
  Speaker 11: And the reason is Xi Jinping's in trouble at home.
• 2:32:45
  Speaker 11: He's not healthy. He doesn't feel that he can give
• 2:32:48
  Speaker 11: an inch. And so they'll do things and they'll announce
• 2:32:52
  Speaker 11: some stuff, but it really won't be substantive. It'll be
• 2:32:56
  Speaker 11: there sort of like, OK, we're going to extend the
• 2:32:58
  Speaker 11: trade truce that I can see happening. You know, the
• 2:33:02
  Speaker 11: Chinese might announce a few agreements, but they will not
• 2:33:05
  Speaker 11: be agreements that they will adhere to.
• 2:33:07
  Speaker 1: I agree. It's like Iran, same thing. They'll comply to something,
• 2:33:10
  Speaker 1: they'll never adhere to it. And on the final 60 seconds,
• 2:33:13
  Speaker 1: China is still helping Iran, you believe, yes?
• 2:33:16
  Speaker 19: Oh, yeah.
• 2:33:17
  Speaker 11: I mean, the Chinese satellite was providing targeting data that
• 2:33:21
  Speaker 11: killed three Americans in Jordan in July. This was after
• 2:33:25
  Speaker 11: Chinese targeting data killed six Americans on March 1st in Kuwait.
• 2:33:30
  Speaker 11: You know, there are rumors, you know, Sid, that that
• 2:33:33
  Speaker 11: Chinese satellite that broke apart three days ago, that that
• 2:33:37
  Speaker 11: was about the same time that the Secretary of the
• 2:33:39
  Speaker 11: Air Force announced the U.S. had offensive space weapons. People
• 2:33:43
  Speaker 11: are guessing... that we actually took that satellite down. I
• 2:33:47
  Speaker 11: don't know, but I hope we did, because that's the
• 2:33:50
  Speaker 11: perfect way to start a summit with Xi Jinping.
• 2:33:52
  Speaker 1: I love that, too. Well, listen, I know it's very
• 2:33:54
  Speaker 1: early in the morning, but it didn't matter. You were
• 2:33:56
  Speaker 1: brilliant again. You're always great. Gordon G. Chang on Twitter.
• 2:34:00
  Speaker 1: Do yourself a favor. Follow my man today. Gordon Chang,
• 2:34:03
  Speaker 1: you're amazing. Not good, great. Thank you so much.
• 2:34:07
  Speaker 11: And I'll try to wake up earlier next time.
• 2:34:11
  Speaker 1: You were really great. Enjoy California. Thank you, my friend.
• 2:34:15
  Speaker 11: Bye. Bye-bye.
• 2:34:16
  Speaker 1: Gordon Chang right there on Sid and Friends in the morning.
• 2:34:19

• 2:34:36
  Speaker 1: big 6 a.m. show tomorrow, Thursday with Bill O'Reilly. And then,
• 2:34:41

• 2:34:46
  Speaker 1: for a closed-door meeting with Vice President J.D. Vance. and
• 2:34:51
  Speaker 1: probably pop in the Oval Office to say hello to Trump.
• 2:34:54
  Speaker 1: Big day, big day coming up tomorrow on Sid and
• 2:34:57
