  Speaker 8: made the playoffs again. But now that they're here, Steve,
• 2:20
  Speaker 8: they've got to get her done.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: He shared his love of hockey, and especially the Rangers,
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: with an equally adoring fan base. and cherished his role
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: as an ambassador for the Garden of Dreams Foundation and
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: Rangers Charitable Events.

  Speaker 6: I have the pleasure of being the emcee, and I
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: do it because it's so well done and so well received,
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: and I see the smile on their faces of everyone.
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: I'm going to keep doing this because I love it.
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: And as long as there are New York Ranger fans
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: in the audience that are rooting for you, it just
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: brings the best out of me.
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: Ron leaves behind daughters Shea and Amber and son Noah,
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: as well as generations of fans who reserved a special

  Speaker 5: place in their hearts for all he brought. Our hearts
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: are with Ron's family and loved ones. Ron Duguay, gone
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: at the too young age of 69.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: So, um, Duguay is coming on. And I don't feel well, so.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: But I can't complain to Duguay. Of course, he's getting
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: over cancer. So, how can I complain to him? But, Ronnie,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I don't feel well this morning, so how are you?
• 3:22
  Speaker 9: I'm doing well.
• 3:23
  Speaker 10: Sorry to hear that. I know you're doing well, but
• 3:26
  Speaker 10: you're not feeling well.
• 3:27
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: No, I'm actually feeling okay. It's my voice that's disappearing
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: on me. But, you know, I saw pictures. You're on
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the beach. You and Sarah, you're in the hospital. All
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: kidding aside, are you doing very well?
• 3:40
  Speaker 12: Uh, yeah.
• 3:41
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 3:41
  Speaker 10: Well, you know, I'm very much into preventive medicine and
• 3:44
  Speaker 10: I continue with that and I'd like to share what
• 3:46
  Speaker 10: I'm doing. And so part of what I do is
• 3:49
  Speaker 10: because people are interested in knowing what I'm doing, so
• 3:51
  Speaker 10: I don't mind sharing. So I'm doing well.
• 3:53
  Speaker 9: Thank you.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Well, you were diagnosed with what prostate cancer?
• 3:57
  Speaker 10: Um, I had a little bit in the colon and
• 4:00
  Speaker 10: so that's what I've been treating. I've been doing that
• 4:02
  Speaker 10: for the last couple of months and it's going really well.
• 4:04
  Speaker 9: I've learned a lot.
• 4:06
  Speaker 10: Uh, one of the things that I'd like to share
• 4:08
  Speaker 10: with everyone is that, uh, colonoscopy I have never done
• 4:12
  Speaker 10: one and sure enough that's the problem with me being
• 4:16
  Speaker 10: a little bit stubborn and not having done it that
• 4:18
  Speaker 10: I had a little bit of an issue now I'm
• 4:19
  Speaker 10: having to deal with it it's like getting in a
• 4:21
  Speaker 10: car crash right you get hit it's not really your
• 4:24
  Speaker 10: fault now you got to go through rehab and that's
• 4:26
  Speaker 10: kind of what I'm going through but it's the learning
• 4:29
  Speaker 10: of what I'm going through that I'm going at one
• 4:31
  Speaker 10: point be able to share with everyone.
• 4:34
  Speaker 13: So did you see LeBron James the other night opening
• 4:38
  Speaker 13: night of the NBA season Nationally televised game, big game.
• 4:44
  Speaker 13: LeBron James, first game as a member of the Philadelphia
• 4:47
  Speaker 13: 76ers at Madison Square Garden, a place he loves playing in.
• 4:53
  Speaker 13: Home of the reigning NBA champions, the New York Knicks.
• 4:59
  Speaker 13: National anthem being played, and of course, the NBA enforces
• 5:03
  Speaker 13: its rules, and everyone has to stand there listening to
• 5:08
  Speaker 13: the national anthem. People are standing in the sold-out crowd.
• 5:14
  Speaker 13: And what is LeBron James doing? He's acting like a three-year-old.
• 5:19
  Speaker 14: He's at the end of the line. The anthem is
• 5:22
  Speaker 14: being played.
• 5:26
  Speaker 13: And he's practicing his golf swing. He's doing a number
• 5:30
  Speaker 13: of repetitions with his golf swing.
• 5:34
  Speaker 14: And then he's shooting.
• 5:35
  Speaker 13: Air hoops, practicing his shot. a make-believe shot while the
• 5:42
  Speaker 13: national anthem is going on.
• 5:45
  Speaker 14: You know who does that? A three-year-old that can't sit still.
• 5:53
  Speaker 14: I'm in shock. I mean, you don't have to love LeBron.
• 5:57
  Speaker 14: I admire him. He'll go down in history as one
• 6:00
  Speaker 14: of the greatest to ever play the game. But what
• 6:03
  Speaker 14: is happening to him?
• 6:06
  Speaker 13: LeBron, were you jealous of the attention that WNBA players
• 6:09
  Speaker 13: were getting? Because they just stormed off the court before
• 6:12
  Speaker 13: the anthem played and came.
• 6:13
  Speaker 14: Back on when the anthem was over.
• 6:16
  Speaker 13: You are standing there playing childish games. Is this the
• 6:22
  Speaker 13: way that you want to have people say, hey, look
• 6:27
  Speaker 13: at LeBron James? Is this what you want? The whole
• 6:31
  Speaker 13: look at me, look at me thing where people not
• 6:34
  Speaker 13: talking enough about you? I don't understand it. This is
• 6:39
  Speaker 13: your first game as a Philadelphia 76er. I don't expect
• 6:42
  Speaker 13: you to, you know, if you don't love the country, fine, whatever.
• 6:46
  Speaker 13: That's what's great about this country. You can have an opinion.
• 6:50
  Speaker 13: But here's the thing.
• 6:52
  Speaker 14: It's the first game as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers.
• 6:55
  Speaker 15: Aren't you focused.
• 6:56
  Speaker 13: Just maybe a teensy bit on making a good impression
• 7:00
  Speaker 13: and having a great game?
• 7:02
  Speaker 14: And maybe you're taking that.
• 7:03
  Speaker 13: Time to visualize positive things that could happen in this game?
• 7:08
  Speaker 13: as opposed to shooting air hoops and practicing your golf swing.
• 7:15
  Speaker 13: Please let us all know what was going through your
• 7:18
  Speaker 13: mind when you thought that was a good idea.
• 7:20
  Speaker 16: Hey, by the way, what's going on with the women's NBA?
• 7:24
  Speaker 16: What's that all about?
• 7:29
  Speaker 12: You know, they'll destroy themselves before they get started because
• 7:32
  Speaker 12: they just started to do good and you have a
• 7:36
  Speaker 12: player here who is very good who is very helpful.
• 7:38
  Speaker 16: For that.
• 7:41
  Speaker 12: No it's a big deal going on they leave the
• 7:44
  Speaker 12: court when the national anthems play what's that all about
• 7:47
  Speaker 12: you know the NFL did that for a while and
• 7:49
  Speaker 12: they stopped because people stopped watching the games so I
• 7:53
  Speaker 12: think you should do the same thing with women's basketball
• 7:56
  Speaker 12: unless they get there and what about LeBron James did
• 8:03
  Speaker 12: you see that deal No, he's doing, during the national anthem,
• 8:09
  Speaker 12: he's practicing his golf swing.
• 8:12
  Speaker 16: He's practicing. I said, what the hell is that? No,
• 8:15
  Speaker 16: it's a big scandal kind of a story. What's it
• 8:17
  Speaker 16: all about? I don't understand it. I don't understand it.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Shut this thing down, Bernie, a thousand times.
• 8:23
  Speaker 17: Some broadcasters speak to their audience. Sid Rosenberg speaks for them.
• 8:29
  Speaker 17: Born and raised in Brooklyn, Sid's connection to New York
• 8:32
  Speaker 17: has defined his career.
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: New York means everything to me.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: This city... It doesn't give you a choice. It shapes you.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: You're going to be tough. You're going to be great.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: And you're going to outlive everybody else in this business.
• 8:45
  Speaker 17: Starting on the Internet, Sid moved to radio stations in
• 8:48
  Speaker 17: Florida and then to syndication with The Drive on the
• 8:52
  Speaker 17: Sports Fan Radio Network. He broke into the New York
• 8:56
  Speaker 17: City market on WNEW-FM before joining Imus in the morning
• 9:00
  Speaker 17: on WFAN. He later hosted the Midday Show on WFAN
• 9:05
  Speaker 17: and the New York Giants pregame shows as well. However,
• 9:10
  Speaker 17: Sid really began his climb to the top in 2016
• 9:13
  Speaker 17: when he moved to 77 WABC.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: I'm the everyday guy. And I think people identify with that.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: They're never bored. It's not predictable. You have no idea
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: from one segment to the next what I'm going to
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: talk about.
• 9:25
  Speaker 17: Over the years, Sid has interviewed presidents, world leaders, cultural
• 9:30
  Speaker 17: icons and newsmakers.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: When you can boast that you've had President Trump and
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Bibi Netanyahu on your AM morning radio show, I do
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: believe that's part of the reason why I've had this
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: great success.
• 9:44
  Speaker 17: In 2016, he joined Bernie McGurk to form one of
• 9:47
  Speaker 17: New York radio's most successful partnerships. Together, they became a
• 9:53
  Speaker 17: staple of morning broadcasting and were chosen to succeed broadcasting
• 9:57
  Speaker 17: icon Don Imus.
• 9:59
  Speaker 9: Following.
• 10:00
  Speaker 17: Bernie McGurk's passing, Sid carried that legacy forward as host.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Of Sid and Friends in the morning.
• 10:10
  Speaker 17: Through every chapter of his career, he has demonstrated resilience
• 10:15
  Speaker 17: and an unwavering commitment to his audience.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: I love my job. Like a ball player, right? You
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: just want to leave it all on the field.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I give it all.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: 110% every day.
• 10:24
  Speaker 18: He's emotional. He loves people. He loves the right thing. Congratulations,
• 10:30
  Speaker 18: Sid Rosenberg. An award definitely deserved.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Every day after every show, I would get a text
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: from my father. And he would say, Sid, great show today.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: It went on for years. And I remember one day
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: I said, Dad, Dad, you're biased. And he said to me,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: he said, Son, I am biased. He said, I'm really
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: proud of you. You're really great. Then he got sick,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: and we lost him for some crazy reason. Even though, rationally,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I knew he was gone. When the show was over,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: I still checked my phone for his text. I miss you,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: and I love you, Dad. Look what we've done. Bill Ritter,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: so many years, a terrific job at Channel 7, ABC Television.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: You know, he's still there. He doesn't anchor anymore. He
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: made that announcement not that long ago, a couple of
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: months ago. All of a sudden, it was done. And
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: he made the announcement that he's got Alzheimer's. And he
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: spoke yesterday quite a bit about that disease. He was great.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: And then the other one that everybody knows, of course,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: in New York, is the host of Good Day New
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: York for a long time. Also worked. at Channel 7,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: ABC TV in New York, and that is Rosanna Scotto.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: So it was really a wonderful, wonderful day. The food
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: was great, and the place is beautiful. If you've never
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: been to the Rainbow Room, 65 floors above New York City,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Rockefeller Center. Beautiful day, just an amazing view. Really an
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: unbelievable venue. It's gorgeous. And a lot of friends and
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: family were there yesterday. I'll try to get to each
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: and every one of you. If I do leave out
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: a name, I'm sorry. I did the best I could
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: to remember this morning. All the great folks that were
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: there yesterday. But I do want to start with where
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: we started the Open today. And that is, while yesterday
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: was a huge celebration for me, and great to be recognized,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: next year will be 30 years. 30 years for me
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: in this business, starting doing internet radio at CBS Sportsline.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Back then it was sportsline.com, 1997, Cypress Creek Road in
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Fort Lauderdale. I can't believe it's been 30 years. So
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: it was really nice to be recognized by my peers
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: and some other greats. But while that was great, yes,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: it was a very tough day for me. I lost
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: one of my best friends. And I know everybody. He's
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: your best friend. He really was. We talked a lot.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: He was on this show a lot. I actually made
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: him and Bernie friends. He appreciated Bernie anyway. He was
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: one of the rare athletes that had no problem publicly
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: talking about his political likes. He loved President Trump. He
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: was a Republican. He really... started to gain some political
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: attention by going on Fox News. And then, of course,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: he was on with me all the time. And people
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: knew that not only did he score 40 goals for
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: the 81-82 Rangers, but he was a proud Republican and
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: he was on the right side. When I say right,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: I mean figuratively and literally. And my friend Ron Duguay
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: died yesterday at the tender age of 69, way too young.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: He said, you know, I never got a colonoscopy. As
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: he was talking, I thought I heard Bernard. Bernard died
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: at 65, had a PSA of 18, and did nothing
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: about it. Ron Duguay, also never a colonoscopy, died at 69.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: I got my first colonoscopy, you guys remember. My dear
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: friend Steve Puget got it this year at the age
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: of 59. Ronnie's been sick with colon cancer for a while.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: But he would battle it and be okay. Even last week,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: he was very sick. And his girlfriend, who I'll get
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: to in a moment, sent me a picture of him
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: in the hospital bed. He still looked great. I was
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: having this conversation with Lou Ruffino this morning. Lou was
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: a huge hockey fan, huge. He's an Islander fan, but
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: he loves hockey. I think he loved Ron Duguay. And
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Lou even said, He even looked great last week.
• 15:10
  Speaker 19: Yeah, he always looked good to me.
• 15:11
  Speaker 9: Always.
• 15:11
  Speaker 19: I couldn't believe it, how good he was still looking.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Such a handsome guy. And about a month ago, I
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: got a call from his girlfriend, and she said, Ronnie's
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: back in the hospital, about a month ago. I said,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: now what? She said, well, he had some type of
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: allergic reaction to his medication. I don't know what happened.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: And he literally face-planted. He went down. smashed his face
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: and knocked out teeth. I said, I don't think he
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: lost teeth when he played hockey where everybody loses their teeth.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: She said, no, but he did lose teeth in this incident.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: So I called him that night. He sounded weak, but not,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: not deadly weak. And he said, yeah, I said, gee,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: I lost some teeth. I'll be fine. That was about
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: a month ago. And he died yesterday. So I'm not
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: sure if we had the news before the show on.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Did I think, We had it right at the end
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: of the show.
• 16:06
  Speaker 19: Yeah, we had already finished.
• 16:08
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 16:08
  Speaker 19: The show ended and I started seeing it.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Everywhere. Yeah, all of a sudden. So I got this
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: text at 10.06 yesterday morning. I didn't even see it.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: I was so caught up in walking with Noam to
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame and everything going on. I got
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: a text from his girlfriend at 10.06 yesterday morning. I
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: keep saying his girlfriend. For folks that don't know, she
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: was almost... the very first female vice president of the
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: United States, when she ran alongside John McCain. And, of course,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about the Alaskan sweetheart, the great hockey mom,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Sarah Palin, who dated Ronnie, I don't know, it's got
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: to be five, six years, I don't know. So she
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: would update me. She sent me a text about three
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: or four days ago and said, Sid, we need to pray.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: And then I knew we were in trouble. And she
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: sent me a picture of That we took. You were
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: there that night, Louis. At Stephen Van Zandt and Kevin Schroeder.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: They do this police ball every year. And one year
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: they honored the same night me and Ron Duguay. Was
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: that the night you were there, Lou? I think so.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: You and MJ? Yeah, I think so. So there's a picture.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: We're on the steps. Right? It's me, Danielle, Ronnie, Sarah.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: And Sarah sent me this picture like four or five
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: days ago. And I said, uh-oh. I said, what happened?
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: She said, no, no. It just popped up on my phone.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: But I said to myself, if she's sending me pictures
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: of me and Ronnie, this may be very, very bad.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: And my instincts were right. So at 10.06 yesterday morning,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I just saw this. Sarah Palin sent me a text.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: She said, hi, Sid. I just cried all day yesterday.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: I can't do it again. Ron passed away a few
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: hours ago. It was all very peaceful. Shay, that's one
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: of his kids. Noah, that's one of his kids. And I,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: at the hospital bedside. I know he's in heaven, 100%.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: He respected and loved you so much. I'm very thankful
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: to have spent these years with him. He changed my
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: life and my kids' lives for the better. Thank you
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: for everything you did for him, Sarah Palin. So that
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: was tough to read this morning. When I was a
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: kid growing up in my house in Brooklyn, my dad
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: was not a big winter sports fan. My father loved
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: the Giants since he was a little boy. He loved
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: the Mets. But the Knicks and Rangers were not big
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: in my house when I was a kid. It was
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: my next-door neighbor, Joseph Iovine, who I still love to
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: this day. He lives in Shrewsbury, New Jersey, with his
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: lovely wife, Tina, and all their kids. And he loved
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: the Rangers. And he got me into it. And the
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: very first Ranger jersey I ever got was number 10,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Ron Duguay. He was larger than life. He was a
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: great-looking guy. He never wore a helmet. He had those
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: long curls. He would skate down the ice. And his
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: hair would go everywhere. He was at Studio 54 like
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: every night. And eventually, because he was out partying, even
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: though he was a very productive player, 40-goal season, his
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Ranger team went to the Eastern Conference Finals against the Islanders,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: almost went to play for the Stanley Cup. But his
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: new coach... you may have heard of this guy, he
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: was the coach for the American team when we won
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: the Olympic gold, beat Russia and Finland in 1980. Herb Brooks,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: he didn't like his players coming out at night. So
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: he traded Ron Duguay, which was huge, to the Detroit
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Red Wings. In 1982, Ronnie did come back. He played
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: for the Rangers again, 86 and 88. But that was
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: a big deal when they traded Ron. But he was
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: so big. He was in page six all the time.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: You guys remember those, was it Jordache or Sassoon?
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Sassoon.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Sassoon. He did those commercials with the other hockey players,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: but he was so much more handsome. He really was,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: I believe, because we had great hockey players before in
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: New York. You know, the gag line and all those guys.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: But he was the first hockey player to be a
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: pop culture icon in New York City. I think that's
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: fair to say. Everybody loved Ron Duguay. He dated everybody.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: He banged everybody. There wasn't a beautiful single girl in
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: New York City that Ron Duguay didn't bang, okay? You know,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: he was married. I forgot.
• 20:58
  Speaker 19: He was married to Kim Alexis.
• 20:59
  Speaker 14: Kim Alexis.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: I was going to get to that.
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: Okay, sorry.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: No, no. So it's great. Good timing. I was going
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: right there right now. So I get a call. I'm
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: at the band with you, Lou, doing the midday show.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: And I get a call from the Rangers, 2002 maybe. Hey,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: they do this. He's gone now to one, his wife.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: We put on this charity hockey game every year for
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Christopher Reeves. And him and his wife, Diana, I think.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: He died of lung cancer. Never smoked a cigarette in
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: her life. It's their event. And we want you to
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: coach one of the celebrity hockey teams. I was so honored. Lou,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Pete Morgan, Noam, Justin, I was so honored. I would
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: love to coach this event. Well, we're going to provide
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: you with a bunch of celebrities. Back then, Jason Priestley
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: was a big deal. 90210, Beverly Hills, he played for me.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Rick Moranis, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, he played for me.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: One year, because I did it for three straight years,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: I coached against Paul Cubby Bryant, I think Elvis Duran,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: my assistant coaches, or Susan Sarandon, of all people, I
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: hate her guts now, and little Jamie Lynn Sigler, when
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: she was a star as Meadow Soprano when a very
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: cute kid. One year they provided me with Mark Messier.
• 22:17
  Speaker 20: What?
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Yes. Right before the game they go, just so you know.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: A few of the active Ranger players are in the back.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: So they gave me Messier. He hopped on the ice
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: with about 30 seconds to go. Who was the little
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: guy from Colorado? Scored a lot of goals. He was
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: a Ranger for a while. A lot of goals.
• 22:34
  Speaker 21: Fleury.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Theo Fleury. Very good. Is that you, Pete? Yeah, Pete.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: So the other team had Theo Fleury. I had Messier.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: But two of those years, I had Ron Duguay and
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Kim Alexis. And I had his wife, Kim, who was
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: a legitimate supermodel on the ice late in the game.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: 2-2 tie. And who scored the game-winning goal? For me,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Kim Alexis. Oh, that's crazy. Isn't that crazy? Yeah.
• 23:02
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: I have so many great memories of Ron Duguay, and
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: mostly after those years. And when I came back to
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: New York in 2016, he loved all my Trump stuff.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: He loved it. He would text me. I'm telling you
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: guys all the time. I'm proud of you. He made
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: it public. He was talking about me on Twitter quite
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: a bit and Instagram, but he would text me all
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: the time. He loved it. And it's a tremendous loss
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: to the hockey community. Ranger fans, Islander fans, I'm sure
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: even Joe Nolan as a double fan is up to
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: it today because everybody loved Ron Duguay. And the Rangers
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: screwed him. Let's be honest. They screwed him. He was
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: doing MSG work, doing a great job. John Giannone, Kenny Donico,
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: they fired him. And when he was sick, the Ranger organization,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: they got to the party very, very late. The Islanders,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Clark Gillies Foundation gave Ron Duguay. And I told Jim
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Dolan that last week. You know that. I was very honest.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: I walked up to Jim. I don't think he was happy.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: First time I meet the guy, who the hell is
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Sid Rosenberg? Shut up. But I had to tell him.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: I said, Ron, he's dying. Will you guys do something?
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: And five days later, he was dead, so. I'm not
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: sure what Jim Dolan or the Rangers did, but I'm
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: sure they did something, but I don't know about them.
• 24:20
  Speaker 22: They could have given him money, because you remember he
• 24:21
  Speaker 22: wanted to go overseas to get those treatments.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: They were like $ 70, 000. He'd have the money for it.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: He'd have the money.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: So his daughters.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Lovely girls, they started a GoFundMe page. Yeah, it's crazy.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: I said to the Rangers, I said, how can one
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: of the greatest players, I know in the 70s and
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: 80s they weren't making millions of dollars, how could one
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: of the greatest players who stuck around here, okay, he
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: moved to Jacksonville, but he did a lot of Ranger stuff,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: how does he need money? You guys have billions falling
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: out your ass. He's trying to survive. So you're right, Noam.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Very good memory. He never got that money. Maybe he
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: got it late. I don't know. I don't want to
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: kill the Rangers right now. I really don't. But hopefully
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Sarah Palin will call in in about two hours. I
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: don't know. She's destroyed. And I don't want to put
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: her through too much. But I did reach out to
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: her and say, if you want to hop on, just
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: say great things about Ron Duguay. You can do that
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: about 8.30 this morning. So we'll see. Either way, say
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: a prayer for Ronnie and his family and One of
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: the great New York sports, not just athletes, but just
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: one of the great guys. And we will miss you,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: number 10. And that beautiful face of yours. God, you
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: were good looking. You son of a bitch.
• 25:36
  Speaker 10: Really good player.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: Really good player. Yeah. So let's get to the LeBron
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: James stuff to a lot of sports in here. But
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: it's sports and politics. They mix, you know. So James
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: is at the Garden a couple nights ago. They played
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: again yesterday. They won again the Sixers. They beat the Celtics.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: They're going to be really good guys. I know Lou
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: gets mad. They're going to be really good. If they
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: stay healthy, they can win the whole thing. And James
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: is out there at the Garden during the National Anthem.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: And during the National Anthem, this moron, who is the
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: second greatest player in the history of the game, I
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: have no issue saying that. Shane Seiderman, stop with Larry Bird, okay?
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: He was great. He had a bad back. He barely played.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: LeBron James is still great 20-plus years later. It's Jordan
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: and James. I don't care if you like him or not.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Don't be stupid, okay? He is phenomenal. A great player.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: But he's an asshole. LeBron James is an asshole. And
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: he's out there doing the national anthem, and he's practicing
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: his golf swing, and he's taking make-believe jump shots. Put
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: your hand on your heart, you ungrateful son of a
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: bitch who's made billions of dollars, and he's not out
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: there curing cancer. He's not out there teaching our children.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: He didn't take a gun and go to Iran. He's
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: playing basketball. And this mother effer has made a billion dollars. Literally,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: he's a billionaire. And he's got the balls to stand
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: there and act like a jerk off during the national anthem.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Linda Cohen pointed out in the clip I played this morning,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: but everybody's talking about it. Clay Travis, Jason Whitlock, President Trump.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Trump made fun of him. I made fun of him.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: He's disappointed. LeBron James continues to say bad things about
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: President Trump. In the meantime, LeBron James, you're the problem.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Let's play this one more time because in the WNBA finals,
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: those wretched, repulsive-looking women playing for the championship, Atlanta and
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Golden State, as I said it, they're repulsive. They ran
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: off the court. Forget about practicing your golf swing. Those
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: women ran off the court during the national anthem. They
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: would throw those ladies off roofs in the Middle East.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: They ran off the court. I mean, God, these basketball players,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: you can't like them. And Trump took out the WNBA
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: and LeBron James, and it was gorgeous. Lewis, cut number four.
• 28:09
  Speaker 16: Hey, by the way, what's going on with the women's NBA?
• 28:12
  Speaker 16: What's that all about?
• 28:18
  Speaker 12: You know, they'll destroy themselves before they get started because
• 28:21
  Speaker 12: they just started.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: To do good.
• 28:23
  Speaker 12: And you had a player here who was very good,
• 28:26
  Speaker 12: who was very helpful for that. No, it's a big
• 28:30
  Speaker 12: deal going on. They leave the court when the national
• 28:34
  Speaker 12: anthem is played.
• 28:34
  Speaker 16: What's that all about?
• 28:35
  Speaker 12: You know, the NFL did that for a while, and
• 28:38
  Speaker 12: they stopped because people stopped watching the games.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Not really.
• 28:41
  Speaker 12: So I think you should do the same thing with
• 28:44
  Speaker 12: women's basketball unless they get there.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: And what about LeBron James?
• 28:52
  Speaker 16: Did you see that deal?
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: No, he's doing.
• 28:56
  Speaker 12: During the national anthem, he's practicing his golf swing.
• 29:01
  Speaker 16: He's practicing. I said, what the hell is that? No,
• 29:03
  Speaker 16: it's a big scandal kind of a story.
• 29:05
  Speaker 11: What's it all about?
• 29:06
  Speaker 16: I don't understand it. I don't understand it.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: God, I love President Trump. Okay, let's get to some
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: of the meat. We've got Pete Morgan in studio. Takapina's
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: calling in. All these guys were in attendance yesterday, as
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: were you, my guys. Lou, Justin, and Owen will talk
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: about that great event. But one of the stories that
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: I find particularly interesting is, J.D. Vance got hammered. The
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: vice president got hammered by the view yesterday. Why? Because
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: he defended Vivek Ramaswamy. Vivek, who ran for president not
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: that long ago. ago, is now running for governor in
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: the great state of Ohio. And I guess the lady
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: he's running against has had some issues. Now, The View
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: says issues between the ages of 9 and 12. This
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: girl was raped. I don't know any of these specifics.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: I'm just telling you what I saw this morning. But
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: the mother, her estranged mother, comes out and says she's
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: a liar. So Vivek ran an ad where the estranged
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: mother called her own daughter a liar, even though a
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: lot of people believe the daughter that she was raped
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: and abused. To me, that's a. A very slippery slope,
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know. But Vivek went there. He went there.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: And both Trump and J.D. defended him. No, that's a
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: pretty big story today. It is.
• 30:29
  Speaker 22: Well, and at some point, I guess the thought on
• 30:31
  Speaker 22: the Ramaswamy campaign is once you release this commercial, and
• 30:34
  Speaker 22: they knew what they were doing, you have to own
• 30:36
  Speaker 22: it afterwards if people get upset and say, how could
• 30:39
  Speaker 22: you do this?
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Now, what we know about Dr.
• 30:41
  Speaker 22: Amy Acton and what she says is that she was
• 30:43
  Speaker 22: removed from this home when she was 12 years old
• 30:46
  Speaker 22: because she was being physically abused physically.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: By her stepfather.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: She used the word raped. Yeah. For three years, I guess,
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: between nine and 12 by her stepfather.
• 30:55
  Speaker 22: And her mother, who she says she has not had
• 30:57
  Speaker 22: contact with in decades, stayed with that man until he
• 31:01
  Speaker 22: passed away.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, boy.
• 31:03
  Speaker 22: So now they put this commercial out where the mother,
• 31:05
  Speaker 22: who she says she has not talked to or seen
• 31:07
  Speaker 22: in decades, talking about the fact that she's a liar.
• 31:10
  Speaker 22: And that's where the outrage is coming from, is that
• 31:13
  Speaker 22: how could you sink that low?
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: That's what the Democrats are saying. It's a very, very
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: close race, too, right? It's a very close race. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, she's been ahead in most of the polls,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: but yes, it's a very close race.
• 31:22
  Speaker 12: Oh, boy.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: There was a fight in Westchester. Did you cover this?
• 31:25
  Speaker 9: What's that?
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know, some political fight, some of the.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: No, no, you're talking about New Jersey, maybe?
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Maybe New Jersey. What was that about? I don't even
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: know anymore.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: This is a crazy story. It's out of Pemberton, New
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Jersey on Wednesday night.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Pemberton, New Jersey?
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know Pemberton.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Of course. Yeah, everybody loves Pemberton. I got an H-J
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: there one time.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of figured that might have happened in Pemberton.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: That's where you go for that kind of thing.
• 31:50
  Speaker 12: That's it.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: That's the place. That's right.
• 31:52
  Speaker 22: So Mayor Matthew Bianchi has had this long-going feud with
• 31:56
  Speaker 22: his constituent. I covered these things when I was a
• 31:59
  Speaker 22: kid reporter. You show up at these city council meetings
• 32:01
  Speaker 22: and you get the same seven annoying people who show
• 32:04
  Speaker 22: up every week to speak during these council meetings.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Well, he's one of those individuals.
• 32:09
  Speaker 22: And I guess he really got under the skin of
• 32:11
  Speaker 22: Mayor Matthew Bianchi on Wednesday night. that Matthew came at
• 32:15
  Speaker 22: him screaming, I'm going to get you, I'm going to
• 32:17
  Speaker 22: get you. He had to be restrained by people. This
• 32:20
  Speaker 22: looked like the Taiwan parliament on Wednesday night.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was intense.
• 32:26
  Speaker 22: And then afterwards, here's with a back and forth between
• 32:28
  Speaker 22: the two of them, the mayor and this constituent.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: I just basically snapped. I hate to put it this way,
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: but it's a long time coming.
• 32:35
  Speaker 15: I never got out of my seat.
• 32:36
  Speaker 9: The mayor jumped and came running around.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: I never got up. Watch the video. I just sat there.
• 32:41
  Speaker 22: Yeah, it was an intense scene, and apparently these two
• 32:43
  Speaker 22: have been at the boiling point before. The mayor says
• 32:47
  Speaker 22: the reason he went crazy on Wednesday night is that
• 32:49
  Speaker 22: his family was in the city council chambers and that
• 32:52
  Speaker 22: this guy had made some comment to them.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: He denies that, and now he's filed charges.
• 32:56
  Speaker 22: And he wants him to be not only removed from
• 32:59
  Speaker 22: the city council, but he's filing assault charges against the mayor.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow. This is fantastic. I know the president was
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: in Iowa last night. He got a great, great ovation
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: and a great welcome. Today he'll be in the state
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: of Florida. He's looking for Ashley Hinson to get the
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Senate win in Ohio. And he's got Lane running for governor.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: He'll be down there with Byron Donalds in Florida today.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: And Florida's great. They've got no issues there. Best-run state
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: in the country. Florida won Texas, too. But anything else
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: in terms of these midterms? We are now just 11
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: days away, and not just the midterms, but, of course,
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: a big race here, Blakeman versus Hochul.
• 33:37
  Speaker 22: Yeah, well, it's interesting to see about the Blakeman-Hochul race
• 33:40
  Speaker 22: is now you're going to start seeing Mayor Mamdani hit
• 33:43
  Speaker 22: the campaign trail hard or semi-hard, anyway, for Governor Hochul
• 33:47
  Speaker 22: over the next couple days. He's released an ad that
• 33:51
  Speaker 22: is going to start appearing, I think, online where he
• 33:54
  Speaker 22: endorses her candidacy. And Bruce Blakeman was saying yesterday, yeah,
• 33:57
  Speaker 22: bring it on. He says that Mayor Mamdani is so
• 34:01
  Speaker 22: polarizing that he's positive that will push people who are
• 34:06
  Speaker 22: unsure about where to go in this campaign towards him.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: And here's what he said.
• 34:11
  Speaker 22: He hopes that they two of them, Hochul and Mamdani,
• 34:14
  Speaker 22: appear together numerous times.
• 34:15
  Speaker 23: I just hope Zohran Mamdani is real active for the
• 34:18
  Speaker 23: next 11 days with Kathy Hochul campaigning together all around
• 34:22
  Speaker 23: the state. I think it's a big boost to my campaign.
• 34:25
  Speaker 23: Thank you to both of them for appearing together and
• 34:28
  Speaker 23: keep doing it.
• 34:29
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 34:30
  Speaker 22: So early voting across the country has been huge. We're
• 34:33
  Speaker 22: seeing like the numbers.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Huge numbers.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, much larger than they were. in the last two
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: midterm races.
• 34:39
  Speaker 22: The Associated Press says more than 13 million mail-in early
• 34:43
  Speaker 22: person votes have been cast. That's compared with 9 million
• 34:46
  Speaker 22: at the same point in 2022.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: That's much bigger.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: I have one more story I want to cover in
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: the open because you've got a lot to talk about today, Norman.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: You'll be a part of all these conversations. They were
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: talking to this ingrate. The Bond James is an ingrate too,
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: but Elon Omar, okay, the anti-American traitor that is Elon Omar.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: And you know, she's in trouble, and the DOJ raided
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: her apartment in Washington, D.C., and they're claiming she married
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: a relative, and there's fraud, and they really want to
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: get this lady deported, which would be a beautiful thing,
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: because she's an anti-American skank. That's what she is, Ilhan Omar.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: And no one else is going to say that except
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: for me. That's why I'm banned on Fox and No.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: 1 in New York, all right? So they asked Ilhan
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Omar yesterday. This is unbelievable audio. You've got to hear this, Pete.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: They ask her, did you marry your brother? Now, that's
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: not a question most people get. But forget about the question,
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: which in itself is ludicrous. Did you marry your brother?
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Her response is even more outrageous. It takes a while
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: to get there. Cut number seven, Ilhan Omar. She's on
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: MS Now. That's a home game, okay? She's not on
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Fox News. She's not on Sit and Friends in the morning.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: It's a home game. MS Now. Here's what Omar had
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: to say when she was asked, did you marry your brother?
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Cut number seven.
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: Every time he talks about you, he will casually say
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: something wild about you. Like, he will tweet, Ilhan Omar,
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: she married her brother, blah, blah, blah.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: You see that, you think to yourself.
• 36:23
  Speaker 15: Boy, that sounds odd.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: It seems unlikely that she married her brother.
• 36:26
  Speaker 9: There are right-wing people who believe that this man was
• 36:29
  Speaker 9: your brother.
• 36:31
  Speaker 14: You have called it a disgusting lie.
• 36:33
  Speaker 20: Right.
• 36:34
  Speaker 15: Who was this man that was your husband?
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: When did they start saying that he was your brother?
• 36:38
  Speaker 21: Why? It started with the Somali blog. I don't know
• 36:45
  Speaker 21: if it still exists, but somebody put in there that
• 36:49
  Speaker 21: he had to have been my brother or something to
• 36:51
  Speaker 21: that effect.
• 36:52
  Speaker 15: And White Wing.
• 36:54
  Speaker 21: conspiracy theorists in Minneapolis got a hold of it, and
• 36:58
  Speaker 21: they just kind of went and, like, found random people
• 37:01
  Speaker 21: who were like, she introduced us. You know, she introduced
• 37:05
  Speaker 21: him to us and said he was her brother, which is,
• 37:10
  Speaker 21: you know, insane. I mean, I don't know those people
• 37:13
  Speaker 21: that they talk about.
• 37:15
  Speaker 15: You were not related to him at all.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Not that.
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: There's not some weird kernel of truth that through some
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: game of telephone.
• 37:21
  Speaker 21: Not to my knowledge.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: Not to my knowledge. Wait a second. He wasn't related
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: to you? Your brother? She goes, not to my knowledge.
• 37:33
  Speaker 14: Not?
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Of course not. What are you, nuts? That's incest. That's crazy.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: I would go crazy. I'd go crazy.
• 37:39
  Speaker 19: That's the only way to answer.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: Right. Of course.
• 37:43
  Speaker 19: If none of it's true.
• 37:44
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: Like O.J. Simpson. I was waiting for O.J. Simpson to
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: go nuts in the courtroom. He still won because he
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: had a black jury. But I was waiting for him
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: to go nuts. What are you, crazy? Murder Nicole? Never.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Even though he did. But that's her answer. Not to
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: my knowledge. So the guy that really made me laugh again?
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: President Trump. I asked him about her answer. Not to
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: my knowledge. We'll do them both. We'll do one. President Trump.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Start with cut number five.
• 38:16
  Speaker 24: When asked whether or not she married her brother today.
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: They asked her, did you marry your brother? She said,
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: not to my knowledge.
• 38:30
  Speaker 16: That's one of.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: The worst answers I think I've ever heard.
• 38:34
  Speaker 16: You know, I've heard some bad political answers. I could
• 38:37
  Speaker 16: go over a lot of them, but that would be
• 38:39
  Speaker 16: about the worst. Not to my knowledge.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 38:44
  Speaker 16: Do you have children with your brother? I'm not sure.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: One more. President Trump wasn't done on the tarmac. One
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: more on Elon Omar. Cut number six.
• 38:55
  Speaker 25: Well, if you ask me that same question about, let's say,
• 38:58
  Speaker 25: my sister, I would say no.
• 39:00
  Speaker 24: She said not to my knowledge. That tells you a
• 39:03
  Speaker 24: lot right there. No, she's... I've never been a big
• 39:07
  Speaker 24: fan of hers.
• 39:07
  Speaker 9: I'll be honest.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: Let's see how it all works out.
• 39:10
  Speaker 25: But that statement tells you.
• 39:12
  Speaker 26: A lot.
• 39:14
  Speaker 19: He should just do it like a show talking about her.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you.
• 39:18
  Speaker 19: He could just do that for half an hour and
• 39:20
  Speaker 19: you start laughing.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: He's fantastic.
• 39:22
  Speaker 27: Could you have a worse answer than that? I mean,
• 39:25
  Speaker 27: I got a lot of bad answers. That is up there.
• 39:29
  Speaker 27: Of course, I've never been a... fan of hers for
• 39:31
  Speaker 27: a lot of obvious reasons, but boy, that is one
• 39:34
  Speaker 27: terrible answer.
• 39:37
  Speaker 19: Is it yes?
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Is it no? We don't know.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Who knows?
• 39:40
  Speaker 19: That's terrible.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: That's terrible. Oh, God.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple

  Speaker 2: to upstate New York. She joined me and Lou on

  Speaker 2: the ride in this morning at 4 a.m.
• 40:25
  Speaker 11: Oh, boy.
• 40:27
  Speaker 19: What a couple of days for her.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: And then Jean just drove her right upstate, and she's
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: already home. So, Mom, it was great to see you.

• 41:20
  Speaker 2: was an all-star table. It really was. Pete and his

• 41:48
  Speaker 2: a short time and then had to come back and

  Speaker 2: do his own show. But he was really extolling my virtues.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: He was very, very nice. Thank you, Dominic. Brandon Eisen,
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: Michael Cohen, and the man that brought me back to

  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. And one of my favorite people. a
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: guy that was my intern, my first job in New
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: York at WNW-FM, all the way back in 2000, 26
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: years ago. I talked about this yesterday. He split the
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: week as an intern between our show, me and Scott Kaplan,
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: me and Craig Carton, and the Howard Stern Show, Gary Delabate.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: He told me 26 years ago he was going to
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: run CBS. He was like 18 years old. Today, he does.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: He runs all eight Odyssey stations, including 1010 Winds, WFAN,
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: and he's a great guy. I love him like a
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: son or a little brother. Chris Olivero. Did I miss anybody, Pete?
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 43:08
  Speaker 11: And there's no nicer guy than Chris.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: He's a great guy. Well, you deal with WFAN, too.
• 43:13
  Speaker 11: A little bit.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: Well, I work there, you know. I didn't know that,
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: but I would get these text messages for the last
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: 20 years. Hey, I just heard your voice on the
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Giant game.
• 43:21
  Speaker 19: You didn't know that?
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: I'd say, guys, I taped the commercials for Pete Morgan.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: I'm still in Boca. I'm nowhere near New Jersey. But wait,
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: I just heard your voice on the Giant game. Now
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: I'm on Patriots, Bruins, and Boston, right? Yeah. A lot
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: of Pete Morgan spots. You used to do the Bears?
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: I did the Bears.
• 43:40
  Speaker 11: We did the Bears for a while, yeah.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Chicago Bears. That's right, man. So what were your
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: impressions of yesterday? Honestly, honestly.
• 43:46
  Speaker 11: First of all, it was tough having to sit through
• 43:50
  Speaker 11: till the end, you know, like Ritter was great. I
• 43:52
  Speaker 11: thought that was really nice. Yeah, the stuff he did
• 43:54
  Speaker 11: with House Hunters. I got to tell you, I don't
• 43:57
  Speaker 11: think there was a dry in the room when Rosanna
• 43:58
  Speaker 11: was up there. She was fabulous.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: She had one really good line. She said, I got
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: to know Woody, excuse me, Mia Farrow very well and
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: Woody Allen's attorneys. That was great.
• 44:07
  Speaker 11: Yeah, that was a great line. But as Bo was,
• 44:11
  Speaker 11: I love sitting with Bo. It's like sitting with your
• 44:13
  Speaker 11: buddy when you're seven years old.
• 44:14
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 44:15
  Speaker 11: He can't stop. He can't sit still.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: Listen, he calls into the show every Tuesday. Whoever is
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: on before him, doesn't matter who it is, will you
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: get this bum off the phone? I'm sitting here. I
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: got a lot to say. And he's great, Bo. People,
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: I love him on Tuesday. But he doesn't want to.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: Just get to the part that he likes.
• 44:33
  Speaker 11: Each time a guy got up, He's like, Pete, Pete,
• 44:35
  Speaker 11: what ratings? Are the cows listening to this guy?
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: What's going on here?
• 44:38
  Speaker 11: He's going nuts. He's going nuts. It's so funny. And
• 44:42
  Speaker 11: Margot and Mo are sitting next to each other just
• 44:44
  Speaker 11: shaking their head like, oh, my God. It's unbelievable. But
• 44:49
  Speaker 11: I don't think, I mean, we were all so touched
• 44:52
  Speaker 11: by the day. And you were fabulous. And your mother
• 44:56
  Speaker 11: leapt out of her chair when you mentioned her to
• 44:59
  Speaker 11: the crowd.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: You saw that?
• 45:01
  Speaker 9: 91.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: She stood up.
• 45:01
  Speaker 11: Maureen turns to me, she's like, Look at her.
• 45:04
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 45:05
  Speaker 11: She fled up and her hands were waving to the crowd.
• 45:07
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 45:08
  Speaker 11: As if she was going into the Hall of Fame.
• 45:09
  Speaker 11: And quite frankly, she was.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: She was.
• 45:10
  Speaker 11: She and Harvey and Danielle.
• 45:12
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 45:12
  Speaker 11: I mean, who deserves more credit than those folks?
• 45:14
  Speaker 10: Nobody.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: Nobody.
• 45:16
  Speaker 11: I mean, honestly.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: She often talks about this show. She says, our listeners.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: I go, okay, Mom.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Chris Salabero did text me afterwards. He said,
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: you stole the show. They certainly saved the best for last.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: Best speech unscripted and from the heart and perfectly delivered
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: like a maestro. Very proud of the comeback kid, Chris Olivero.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: And then I got a lovely text from Bernard, God
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: rest his soul, his wife, Carol. And it turns out
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: that she talked about you, Pete. Well, I guess you
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: invited her there yesterday.
• 45:48
  Speaker 11: Yeah, we had been in touch and As we all know,
• 45:51
  Speaker 11: Mel got married a couple weeks ago.
• 45:53
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: And then. We were together that day. Yeah.
• 45:55
  Speaker 11: And she wanted to, she wanted to come, but it's
• 45:58
  Speaker 11: tax season and Brendan's really busy, you know, doing his thing.
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: And he's got two kids now.
• 46:02
  Speaker 11: And she watches them. So she couldn't, and Mel's on
• 46:05
  Speaker 11: her honeymoon. So she couldn't, she tried to finagle and
• 46:08
  Speaker 11: get somebody to watch. She couldn't. And she unfortunately had
• 46:11
  Speaker 11: a miss, but she was really. Looking forward to going,
• 46:14
  Speaker 11: and I know she sent you a nice text yesterday
• 46:16
  Speaker 11: as well.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: She did send me a very nice text. Congratulations, and
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: a whole bunch of emojis in the hearts. Noam Layton,
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: what did you think about yesterday?
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: I thought it was fantastic.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: It was great.
• 46:24
  Speaker 22: And your speech, the reason you were last was on purpose.
• 46:27
  Speaker 22: I mean, they did that on purpose because they knew
• 46:28
  Speaker 22: that you would light up the place, and you did.
• 46:31
  Speaker 22: Because the other speeches were good. You know, there was
• 46:33
  Speaker 22: a couple that were good. You know, Ritter was good,
• 46:35
  Speaker 22: and so was.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: Rosanna and this guy Dan something or other Dan Meyer.
• 46:40
  Speaker 22: He was pretty good but the other ones I was
• 46:43
  Speaker 22: crying because they were going on too long I was
• 46:45
  Speaker 22: like shut up already so we can get to sit
• 46:49
  Speaker 22: but they.
• 46:49
  Speaker 11: Read the problem was they were reading just exactly as
• 46:53
  Speaker 11: Chris said they were reading they weren't speaking from.
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: Their heart I never do that I mean I spoke
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: two nights ago Bruce Blakeman was late for an event
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: that John Katzmatidis put on in the city in a
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: rooftop place there Pete I spoke for 40 minutes. I
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: didn't have a piece of paper in front of me.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: Maybe I was terrible, I don't know, but they all clapped.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: But I went on for 40 minutes. I don't do
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: this scripted stuff. Neither does President Trump. Never. Lewis, what
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: did you think?
• 47:19
  Speaker 28: I thought the order was, thank God the order was
• 47:22
  Speaker 28: like that, because that kept everybody.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Right, kept them there.
• 47:26
  Speaker 19: I mean, it was just quite clear. Most people were
• 47:29
  Speaker 19: there to hear you.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 47:31
  Speaker 19: That was clear.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: We got a nice round of applause.
• 47:33
  Speaker 19: Rosanna was fantastic.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. She's a cute lady. She's real.
• 47:37
  Speaker 19: Right from the heart. The people who had the emotion,
• 47:41
  Speaker 19: Bill Ritter, you.
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: And Rosanna. Yeah.
• 47:45
  Speaker 28: It's because you have real stories and real accomplishments. And
• 47:50
  Speaker 28: look at where you guys ended up, of course.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: It was great. Everybody was great.
• 47:57
  Speaker 11: And there were four full tables of people there for you.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: For me?
• 48:01
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 48:01
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: No, I know that. There was one, two, three, four, five.
• 48:04
  Speaker 11: By the way, I will tell you this.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: Five tables.
• 48:06
  Speaker 20: Oh, four.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: You're right, four. I'm sorry.
• 48:07
  Speaker 11: I was the first one to buy a table back
• 48:09
  Speaker 11: when they first went on sale.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: Right away.
• 48:11
  Speaker 11: Do you notice where we were?
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: All the way in the back. All the way in
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: the back.
• 48:14
  Speaker 11: By the way, we had a great view because we
• 48:17
  Speaker 11: were elevated. But there's a reason for that. They saw
• 48:20
  Speaker 11: my name. They saw Bo. Because you had to submit
• 48:23
  Speaker 11: a guest list. And once they saw that, I'm like,
• 48:26
  Speaker 11: oh Christ, they stuck us way in the back of
• 48:28
  Speaker 11: the room. So we could be out of the way
• 48:30
  Speaker 11: because they figured there was going to be.
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: Trouble with that group. And they were right. Troublemakers in
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: that group. You and Bo.
• 48:38
  Speaker 19: Yeah, people start yelling, it's going to be your table.
• 48:41
  Speaker 11: And Corey Zelnick was sitting there nice and quiet. So
• 48:44
  Speaker 11: was Rich Lowry.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: Rich is great. Rich Lowry is great too. He is great.
• 48:48
  Speaker 11: But there's a few guys with a mouth on them.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: Here we go. I've got to get to one more
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: thing with you because we have to get Brian Kameet
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: on the show coming up momentarily, but I did notice
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: when I started the show, when I was reading the
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: text that Sarah Palin sent to me right after her boyfriend,
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: Ron Duguay, died. I did notice you were wiping your eyes.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought I saw you get
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: very emotional. You're a lifelong Ranger fan. You knew Ron
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: Doogie personally like I did, and I saw you get emotional.
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: Was I wrong?
• 49:21
  Speaker 20: Maybe.
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you did. You cried, didn't you?
• 49:24
  Speaker 11: Listen, my Ranger hero is Rod Gilbert. The guy who
• 49:28
  Speaker 11: came in really after him was Doogie.
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
• 49:32
  Speaker 11: And, you know, Rod was the closest thing we had.
• 49:35
  Speaker 11: to a cultural hockey icon.
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: He was. Great number seven.
• 49:39
  Speaker 11: Yeah, and then once Duguay showed up, you said it all,
• 49:43
  Speaker 11: with the hair, and he's flying up and down the ice.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: It was just great. And he did everything. He scored.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: He passed. He back-checked.
• 49:51
  Speaker 11: He hit, and he fought. He was not afraid of anybody.
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: No, he wasn't. He was fearless.
• 49:55
  Speaker 16: He fought.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: He had long hair, but he'll kick your ass.
• 49:59
  Speaker 11: He would fight any of the tough Islanders, and they
• 50:01
  Speaker 11: were tough. He was tough, and they all were tough.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: He would go after Bobby Nystrom, Clark Gillies, all those guys.
• 50:07
  Speaker 11: And those guys were unbelievable.
• 50:08
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 50:09
  Speaker 11: But it's just tragic. And when you brought Bernie up,
• 50:14
  Speaker 11: I couldn't help but think, and Maureen was talking about
• 50:17
  Speaker 11: this yesterday morning. She's like, did he ever get checked?
• 50:21
  Speaker 7: I said, I don't know.
• 50:22
  Speaker 11: But here are two cases. Let it be the lesson
• 50:25
  Speaker 11: for everybody.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 50:27
  Speaker 11: Get your colonoscopy. It's preventative stuff.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 50:30
  Speaker 11: Get your PSA checked. Have your prostate. This is not fun.
• 50:34
  Speaker 11: But you've got to do it.
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: I've got to tell you, it wasn't not fun.
• 50:37
  Speaker 11: Well, you've had that before.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed it.
• 50:42
  Speaker 19: Yeah, this time there was doctors around.
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: The thing that bothered me was, I've got to wait
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: 10 years to get another one? Thank God, actually. But
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: you're right. Between Bernard McGurk and Ron Duguay, Bernie died
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: at 65 and Ronnie died at 69. And neither one
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: of those guys got colonoscopies. Bernie had a very high
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: PSA count, so you're right.
• 51:02
  Speaker 11: And Bernie didn't do anything For a long time.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: No, I know. I know.
• 51:07
  Speaker 11: And these guys.
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: He had the PSA count three years prior. That's right.
• 51:10
  Speaker 11: Because he said something.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: I said, dude. You're crazy.
• 51:12
  Speaker 11: You got to do something.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: You're crazy.
• 51:14
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 51:14
  Speaker 11: It's just tough.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: It is tough. Oh, I was reminded by my man,
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: John Katsimatidis. Again, it was great yesterday. It was Suzanne
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: Miller's event the other night. I was talking about Bruce Plagman. And,
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: of course, A.J. Katsimatidis, his daughter. She's the GOP chair.
• 51:28
  Speaker 16: A.J.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: Couldn't make it. So John was there to substitute for her.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: And then he ran over to Bob Kraft's. And I
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: think they raised about $ 30 million in one night, the
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: owner of the Patriots. Who won that game last night,
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: the Pats or the Bears? Bears. I figured they would.
• 51:43
  Speaker 11: By six, and they covered.
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, there you go. Okay. Bears are good. Caleb Williams
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: is back. He's good. Drake May hasn't beaten a good
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: team yet this year. Look good against the Jets. But
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: hasn't beaten a real good team yet.
• 51:54
  Speaker 11: Well, we'll find out from Justin. He's going to come
• 51:55
  Speaker 11: up with sports.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: You're right. Nicely done. You want to host the rest
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: of the show? Yeah, maybe. That's pretty good, Pete. We'll
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: take a short break. That was very good. Pete Morgan
• 52:02

  Speaker 29: seasons with the Rangers after they selected him with the
• 52:57
  Speaker 29: 13th pick in the draft in 1977. And after that,

• 54:52
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame. It was an
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: amazing luncheon. My family, friends, colleagues were there. Great picture
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: of me on Instagram sandwiched in between two of the
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: all-time greats, Rosanna Scotto and Bill Ritter, who went into
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: the hall with me yesterday. And all the people that
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: sent me lovely videos and congratulations. I saw this yesterday
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: out of nowhere on Twitter. Congrats, Sid. So deserved. And
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: who's it from? The man that follows me each and
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: every weekday morning at 10 o'clock here on 77 WABC.

• 55:34

• 55:37
  Speaker 2: 10 p.m. on Fox News, Sunday nights. The great Brian Kilmeade. Brian,
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: thank you so much for that. That was so nice.
• 55:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so the luncheon must have been great. What did
• 55:47
  Speaker 7: it feel like?
• 55:47
  Speaker 30: How did you get along with the other class members?
• 55:49
  Speaker 30: Do you feel like you were the best and the
• 55:51
  Speaker 30: others were like runner up? Do you feel like you
• 55:53
  Speaker 30: were all equal?
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: Oh God, no, no. The class of 2026? Stop that,
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: stop that. No, of course I felt like I was
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: the best. There were seven of us and they saved
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: me for the very, very end. And again, huge names,
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: Rosanna Scott, old Bill Ritter, but they did save me
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: for the very, very end. I'll tell you something funny.
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: Everybody had a video they played before they came up
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: on stage, like three to five minutes, you know. So
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: in my video, I've got President Trump sitting in the
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: Oval Office for like 95 seconds congratulating me. And then
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: the video goes right from President Trump to Bibi Netanyahu
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: in his office in Israel congratulating me. So when I
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: got there yesterday early, one of the members said, of
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: the board for the Broadcast Association, said, listen, just so
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: you know, because you've got Trump and Bibi in your video,
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: we have provided extra security today. I swear to God.
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: They go, because those two guys who are in your video,
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: they were actually worried there was going to be some
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: type of of retribution, maybe some type of attack. I
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: swear to God, Trump and Bibi in a video, they
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: had a meeting the night before for two hours.
• 57:04
  Speaker 7: It's incredible, but you know what?
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: They're right.
• 57:07
  Speaker 7: It's crazy. New York City, you're right. I mean, look
• 57:11
  Speaker 7: at the way this mayor has targeted Bibi. I'm going
• 57:14
  Speaker 7: to arrest him. Well, where do you stand?
• 57:16
  Speaker 30: Do you think the mayor's crazy? Or do you think
• 57:17
  Speaker 30: he's 100% right? They're making people make a stand. So
• 57:21
  Speaker 30: obviously we know where you stand. And then all of
• 57:23
  Speaker 30: a sudden the prime minister says, congratulations.
• 57:26
  Speaker 7: I'm glad they care. But sadly, they are 100% correct.
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 57:29
  Speaker 26: It was nuts.
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: And they are right. As it turned out, nobody left.
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: They did stare at me like they wanted me dead.
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: I made the point. I go, I'm watching you. You
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: all hate me. But thank you for staying. It was
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: very Trumpish. But I do want to talk to you
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: about the mayor. You just brought him up. And I
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: saw something today that I think the mayor, if I'm wrong,
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: correct me, you're up on all this, Brian. The mayor
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: has signed... How many bills since being in office? One.
• 57:56
  Speaker 12: One.
• 57:56
  Speaker 7: And they're flowing to his desk, by the way.
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're there.
• 58:00
  Speaker 30: People are coming up with stuff. He's not signing them.
• 58:01
  Speaker 30: He's not paying attention. He's cutting TikTok videos. I mean, see,
• 58:04
  Speaker 30: the thing is about the mayor's job. This is why
• 58:07
  Speaker 30: he picked the wrong job. You know, you could be
• 58:10
  Speaker 30: in the Senate.
• 58:11
  Speaker 7: What do you have to do? Shove for a few votes,
• 58:13
  Speaker 7: make a few speeches.
• 58:14
  Speaker 30: And then you wait for things to come by and
• 58:16
  Speaker 30: you try to get momentum for policy.
• 58:17
  Speaker 7: Meanwhile, you can do interviews, go on radio shows. No
• 58:20
  Speaker 7: one really knows what you're doing.
• 58:23
  Speaker 30: But as mayor, this is not really a political job.
• 58:25
  Speaker 30: What's going on with the sanitation? What's going on with security?
• 58:29
  Speaker 30: What's going on with the tunnels? What roads do we
• 58:31
  Speaker 30: retard at what point?
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: You know, what.
• 58:37
  Speaker 7: Ceremony should I go to?
• 58:38
  Speaker 30: That's not like a socialism, capitalism type thing. I mean,
• 58:42
  Speaker 30: that's like a job you roll up your sleeves. Hey,
• 58:44
  Speaker 30: what's going on with this building? How do we fix
• 58:47
  Speaker 30: this thing? Who do we sell it to? And the
• 58:50
  Speaker 30: thing is, that's not a job for communists or even,
• 58:53
  Speaker 30: you know, it's more capitalists. I thought Bloomberg was built
• 58:55
  Speaker 30: perfectly for it. Like, so it's not fun for him.
• 58:59
  Speaker 30: The fun for him is yelling at Tom Holman. You know,
• 59:03
  Speaker 30: fun for him is going after Netanyahu. That's not his job.
• 59:06
  Speaker 7: So the NYPD, well, that's Tish's job.
• 59:09
  Speaker 30: You'd stay out of it. You don't have no idea
• 59:10
  Speaker 30: about policing. And I think he's getting bored because, you know,
• 59:14
  Speaker 30: the election was a big infusion. He got fame and
• 59:17
  Speaker 30: people ask him to do interviews. When the doors close,
• 59:20
  Speaker 30: you have to do work. De Blasio, remember famously, they
• 59:24
  Speaker 30: said that he goes and works out in the morning,
• 59:26
  Speaker 30: would lay on the couch at 11 o'clock with a newspaper.
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: Over his head?
• 59:29
  Speaker 12: Yep.
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: So because he's lazy.
• 59:31
  Speaker 7: Giuliani, a workhorse. Bloomberg, an absolute workhorse. So then you
• 59:36
  Speaker 7: debate policy. But I remember sometimes I'd have to question
• 59:38
  Speaker 7: myself because Rue Giuliani was very critical of George Bush
• 59:42
  Speaker 7: prior to 9-11. And I'm like, wait, isn't he a Republican?
• 59:45
  Speaker 7: And I like, you know, he liked John McCain. I'm like, wow,
• 59:47
  Speaker 7: he's taking a place in the.
• 59:49
  Speaker 30: You know, he's taking his he's going actually for the
• 59:51
  Speaker 30: challenge of the president because he didn't care because really
• 59:54
  Speaker 30: politics had nothing to do with your job.
• 59:56
  Speaker 7: What's going on with crime?
• 59:57
  Speaker 30: Is that a Republican or Democratic thing? You're going to
• 59:59
  Speaker 30: let it go wild. You're just going to lose this
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 30: whole city. You're going to crack down on it. That's
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 30: the right thing to do. But I'm telling you, this
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 30: guy likes getting the job. He does like doing the job.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: I think you're right about that. Now, Brian, we're 11
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: days away from the big midterm elections. Let's go Bruce Blakeman.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: He's got some momentum here against Kathy Hochul. But things
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: are getting kind of nasty. I know up in Westchester
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: issues last night. What's going on with Vivek Ramaswamy? J.D.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: Vance taking a beating from the girls on The View
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: because he actually defended Ramaswamy, the commercial about the lady
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: he's running against. What did you think about all that yesterday?
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 7: Well, number one, what do you think of the ad?
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 30: If you're Ramaswamy and you're in a neck-and-neck fight and
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 30: they say the mom came out against the daughter, should
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 30: we run it?
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 7: What would you have said?
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: Probably the same thing, no?
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 7: Yes, you would have said yes? Would Vivek did?
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I got to really
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: think about that. I don't know. It did seem a
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: little rough, I guess. I don't know. Is that what
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: you're saying?
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 30: Well, I mean, it's the decision. I mean, that's what's
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 30: going on. For example, she's playing this that she was
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 30: abused as a kid, stayed in an abusive household, stayed
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 30: in a tent in the backyard as a kid.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 7: And that's part of her story. The mom comes down
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 7: and goes, it's not part of the story. She's a liar.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 7: She's a chronic liar. So that drops on Vivek Ramaswamy's desk.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 7: He didn't solicit it. He didn't say, see if the mom.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 30: Doesn't like the daughter. That just drops on your desk.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 30: So we made the move in a very close race.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 7: It's not like he's down by nine, like Watley in
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 7: North Carolina is down by nine. I need a Hail Mary.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 7: So he puts it out there. You know, the mom
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 7: looks like she's got a few miles, too. I mean,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 7: so we don't know. I didn't know at first. I thought,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 7: does she have Alzheimer's? And then they go, no, no.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 30: They just think that the mom let the abuse go on.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 30: And now she's trying to cover for herself. But now
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 30: we're talking about what happened in her child abuse, not
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 30: Vivek Ramaswamy being so smart and what he would do
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 30: and everything.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 7: And so and this is what she's running. He's he's
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 7: running against somebody that is not a crazy leftist. We
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 7: could like like like El Said.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 30: Oh, by the way, Muslim Brotherhood. No, she does not
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 30: like that. So it was a risk. a political risk
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 30: that I guess he felt he had to take. I
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 30: don't know if he anticipated this type of blowback.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think he did either, because I think if
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: he did, he's a very smart guy, Vivek. I like him.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: I don't think he would have done it. Talking about
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: New York, of course, Brian, you, like me, you're a
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: big sports guy. You've worked in sports. Part of the
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: beauty about all your shows on Fox is you have
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: sports guys on all the time. And I lost a
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: really close friend yesterday, really close friend. Broke my heart.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: former New York Ranger great Ron Duguay. I just spoke
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: to Ronnie about three weeks ago, and I got a
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: text from Sarah Palin, literally, Brian, three days ago, that said, Sid,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: he's hanging in, but he needs prayers. I went to
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: the Knick game last week with Bruce Blankman, and Jim
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: Dolan did a fundraiser for Bruce, and I actually took
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: Jim Dolan to the side, and I said, you know,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: Ronnie's real sick, and he may die, and The truth is,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: at this point, the Islanders have given more money to
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: Duguay than the Rangers. Can you guys do something? So
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: my point is, I've been talking a lot about Ron
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: Duguay the last couple of weeks, and he died yesterday,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: and it broke my heart.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 7: I didn't know that. Did not know that.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 7: And the thing is, here's the weird thing. I have
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 7: a house in Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: That's where he lives.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and I'm on the beach two, three years ago.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 30: And I see this guy, no shirt on, ripped, right?
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 30: On like a really cheap bicycle, just like going through
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 30: the deep sand. And I walked over and he came
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 30: over to me and I knew him just because going
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 30: to different events, but I wasn't friendly with him.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 7: And he just starts talking to me.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: I go, wait, you live here? He goes, yeah, I
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: live here.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 30: And we just had this great conversation, met him four
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 30: or five times, different times out. I can't, you know,
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 30: and then he was dating Sarah Palin, saw them out
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 30: a couple of times. And the greatest guy. And then
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 30: I heard he was sick, but I'm like, this guy
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 30: is so healthy. He's going to bounce back.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: Right. Right. And he looks so good.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 7: So that is sad.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: You're hitting me.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 7: You're shocking me with this.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he looks so... Even a couple of days ago,
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: he still looked great. He was such a good-looking guy, Ronnie.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: So 69 years old, way too young to die. So
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: rest in peace. Ronnie, okay, we're a couple of days away, obviously,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: from One Nation. Coming up on Sunday night, Brian, at
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: 10 o'clock. I know the book came out last week.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: I know the book has been doing great. You've done
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: a whole bunch of live shows. Oh, yeah.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 7: Sid, I came in at number five.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 21: Wow.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 30: So I'm thrilled. So five in the country. Ahead of
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 30: Sylvester Stallone. So this is going to create tension between us.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 7: I'm going to need a new best friend.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 26: Because, I don't know.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 7: He's seven.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 30: Mike Douglas is four. Michael Douglas' book, which is really good, actually.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 30: But that Octomom kid is number one, which is crazy.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 30: Why do you care about that?
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: Nobody does, I know. Yes, they do.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 7: Right, I know. But listen, I'm going to hang in
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 7: there with it, but I just think it's... It is.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 30: I hope people love it. It's United States, six crucial moments,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 30: the four is the American miracle. You get an understanding
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 30: of great this country is.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 7: So, and hopefully, hopefully people continue to like it right
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 7: through the holidays, but coming up on Sunday show, Kid
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 7: Rock is going to be with us. Ben Shapiro is
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 7: going to be with us.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 30: I'm going to be interviewing Carl Rove on, is this
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 30: gerrymandering thing working for Republicans?
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 7: He gets into the technical stuff like nobody else. And
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 7: we also have, Raymond Arroyo brings to the media.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 30: So that's roughly our show. So it's going to be
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 30: a big show.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 7: Oh, I got this. People are going to love this.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 7: You know the detective that got stabbed 10 times and
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 7: survived by.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: An illegal immigrant? Jose Mercedes, yes.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 30: Yeah, he's an exclusive interview with us along with Scott
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 30: Monroe brought him down.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 7: I love that guy. Head of the Detectives Association Union.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 30: And they together told the story how he's just in
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 30: the back of his car and gets stabbed in broad daylight.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 30: He didn't know he was bleeding to death through adrenaline.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 30: He's chasing these guys down. They look down, he's soaked
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 30: in blood, started losing consciousness. Someone called 911 and basically
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 30: saved his life. He does not know if he'll be
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 30: able to straighten out his hand again and even make
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 30: a fist. But he told his story and he tells
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 30: it exclusively with us. New Yorkers got to listen to
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 30: this because ICE does not get any cooperation with the NYPD.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 30: That's why these illegals are running rampant. They come to
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 30: our sanctuary cities and they go wild. And they're not
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 30: allowed to even ask what country they're from.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: Crazy. And there's the mayor talking about Oscar Belgal, who's
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: a lifelong criminal. He's a thug. He's a lowlife. But
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: not a word about Jose Mercedes. By the way, Kid
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: Rock had that epic dinner with President Trump at the
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: White House last week.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he talks about it.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 12: Right?
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: Stephen A. Smith and Bill Maher. So it's going to
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: be great. Brian, you're amazing. I love you. Congratulations. Thank you.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 7: A great moment in your history. You earned every second
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 7: of it.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 30: And I had Peter King was on with me, and
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 30: he said, Uh, he goes, so I'm on Peter, Jim
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 30: talking about his book.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 7: He goes, I just left Sid. And he took a long,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 7: deep breath. I go, Oh, something must've went wrong. He goes,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 7: I love that guy.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's great.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 7: And I go, wow. He goes, I really love that guy.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow. That's great.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 7: And Peter King's number 10 with his book. His book
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 7: is fantastic.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: The game. Yeah.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 7: Thanks so much, Sid.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: All right, Brian. I love you.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 7: Running back to the set.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: Thank you, buddy. Thank you. There he is. A great
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: Brian Kilmeade follows me. Of course, he's talking about Peter King,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: the football guy. Follows me each and every weekday morning
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: at 10 a.m. here on 77 WABC. Boxing friends every
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: weekday morning. And his amazing show. He just talked about it.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: Big guest list coming up this week. 10 p.m. Sunday nights.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: It's One Nation on Fox News.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: Shut this thing down burning a thousand times, you know.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 17: Some broadcasters speak to their audience. Sid Rosenberg speaks for them.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 17: Born and raised in Brooklyn, Sid's connection to New York
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 17: has defined his career.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: New York means everything to me. This city doesn't give
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: you a choice. It shapes you. You're going to be tough.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: You're going to be great. And you're going to outlive
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: everybody else in this business.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 17: Starting on the Internet, Sid moved to radio stations in
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 17: Florida and then to syndication with The Drive on the
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 17: Sports Fan Radio Network. He broke into the New York
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 17: City market on WNEW-FM before joining Imus in the morning
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 17: on WFAN. He later hosted the Midday Show on WFAN
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 17: and the New York Giants pregame shows as well. However,
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 17: Sid really began his climb to the top in 2016
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 17: when he moved to 77 WABC.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: I'm the everyday guy. And I think people identify with that.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: They're never bored. It's not predictable. You have no idea
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: from one segment to the next what I'm going to
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: talk about.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 17: Over the years, Sid has interviewed presidents, world leaders, cultural icons,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 17: and newsmakers.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: When you can boast that you've had President Trump and
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: Bibi Netanyahu on your AM morning radio show, I do
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: believe that's part of the reason why I've had this
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: great success.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 17: In 2016, he joined Bernie McGurk to form one of
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 17: New York's... radio's most successful partnerships. Together, they became a
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 17: staple of morning broadcasting and were chosen to succeed broadcasting
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 17: icon Don Imus. Following Bernie McGurk's passing, Sid carried that
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 17: legacy forward as host of Sid and Friends.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: In the morning.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 17: Through every chapter of his career, he has demonstrated resilience
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 17: and an unwavering commitment to his audience.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: I love my job. Like a ball player, right? You
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: just want to leave it all on the field. I
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: give it all, 110% every day.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 18: He's emotional. He loves people. He loves the right thing. Congratulations,
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 18: Sid Rosenberg. An award definitely deserved.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: Every day after every show, I would get a text
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: from my father. And he would say, Sid, great show today.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: It went on for years. And I remember one day
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: I said, Dad, Dad, you're biased. And he said to me,
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: he said, Son, I am biased. He said, I'm really
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: proud of you, really great. And then he got sick
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: and we lost him for some crazy reason. Even though
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: rationally I knew he was done. Now, what you didn't hear,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: which they played as part of that video, was a
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: 95-second congratulatory message on video from the Oval Office from
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: my friend President Trump. And then right after Trump, a
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: video about 63 seconds long from the Prime Minister of Israel,
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: my friend Bibi Netanyahu, from his office.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 7: After her.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: They were all great.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 19: They were all nice, the Binghamton Upstate.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 19: You know, you see, they have videos of, like, the
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 19: HR person.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 11: Coming down the hall. In where Glenn falls.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 28: Well, Rich would always greet everybody with a nice good morning.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 28: Then the music they played, and then he just was
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 28: a genuinely good person.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: Then Suits comes on.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 19: And you've got Trump coming blasting.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: On the screen.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 26: You hear people groaning in the back of the room.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, Sid, it's been a great time. I
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: can't believe it took this long.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 19: He's one of the all-time greats.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: You know what's funny about that?
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 26: Right, Bibi was a double downer.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: So when I walk in, the guy that runs the
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: thing goes, just so you know, because of your video,
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: we've added four more security people. I go, what? They said, yeah.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 19: No, they didn't.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: Swear to God. They go, be prepared, too. People are
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: going to leave. How did I start my speech yesterday?
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: They played Trump. They played B.B. You guys didn't leave.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much. You're staring at me like you
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: want me dead. They all hated me, all the kids
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: in the back. They hated me, but at least they stayed.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 19: Yeah, you were addressing a particular group.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: The kids in the back.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 19: Okay.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: All young college kids.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 26: Because I think they work.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they work.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: And one of them, this young black girl, was giving
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: me this dirty, dirty look like, And I said, well,
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: get to know him. You may like him.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 22: The gasp was, and I don't know that you caught
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 22: this because obviously this was a great big moment for you,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 22: but Trump comes on and everybody kind of just goes, okay,
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 22: that's Donald Trump.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: But when B.B.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 22: Came on afterward, there was an audible gasp in the crowd.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 22: It was almost like they had put Hitler on the video.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 22: That was that loud gasp.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: They actually said that be prepared that when you play
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: this video, somebody may raise a Palestinian flag. I go,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: wait a second. How would they even know I'm playing B.B. Netanyahu?
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: This is what security Chris Olivero said to me. I'm
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: going to give away inside baseball. They had an emergency
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: meeting the night before yesterday to go over my video.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: Swear to God. An emergency meeting because they were scared.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: You heard this, Pete. They were scared to death because
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: I played Trump and B.B. congratulating me.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: That's crazy.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 19: Times are crazy.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: This is New York. This is why Janine Driscoll has
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: to win. She's running against Laura Gillum, who beat my
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: friend Anthony D'Esposito because she played dirty. She played very,
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: very dirty. But I think that Janine Driscoll is going
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: to beat her. And Peter King loves her, too. So
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: we'll take a short break. We'll come back and talk
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: to a lady that needs to win with the midterms
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: just 11 days away. Out there on Long Island, our
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: friend Janine Driscoll.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: How about John Barron's one of my great friends? like
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: Joseph Takapina, Arthur Aydala, Danny Fogliano, and Greg Scaglione, one
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: of my dear poly prep friends, John Cameriano's too. So
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: good morning to all you guys. Let me get to Janine.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: She's running against Laura Gillum. I don't like Laura. I
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: made that very, very clear. She beat my friend, Anthony D'Esposito.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: And Janine is running a great campaign. And Janine, I
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: don't know if you know this, but your son is
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: now friends with both my son and daughter. Did you
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: know that?
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 31: Yes, Sid, I know that. My son Jim and Gabriel
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 31: worked together in the internship program this summer, and I
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 31: think they kept in touch. Jim is away at college now,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 31: but I think he's coming back next weekend.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 15: But, yeah, he talked about Gabe.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 31: And I told Jim to make sure that next summer
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 31: he gets Gabriel into Fall Park because my boys have
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 31: a summer league basketball team with my nephews. It's so
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 31: much fun. And I know Gabe plays him once. So
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 31: I said to Jim, you've got to bring him in
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 31: for at least one game because they really have a blast.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's so cute. And my daughter Ava now talks
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: to Jim as well. She thinks he's a great guy.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: She's in college, too. But, yeah, Gabe plays basketball locally,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: but he'd love to do that. And they all say
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: beautiful things about your kid. And I say beautiful things
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: about you. And I ask about you all the time.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: I go, Pete King, tell me, Janine's doing good, right?
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: She's doing good, right? Yeah, she's doing great. People like
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: you will tell you why, because you're not a politician.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: So if I run for politics, it'll be the same thing.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: Trump is the same way. Not a politician. You get
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: up there. I've seen you speak at big rallies when
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: Trump's been there in Nassau County, smaller rallies, and you
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: just speak from the heart. And I think that Long
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: Island people and New York people, I think they appreciate that, Janine.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: I just want to tell you that.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 15: Yeah, no, I agree with you. You know what?
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 31: Real people can solve real problems, right? I'm not doing
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 31: this because I'm trying to rise up through the political ranks.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 31: I'm doing it because I love my community. I want
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 31: my kids to stay here. I have a huge extended family,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 31: tons of nieces and nephews. They're all listening now. They're
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 31: all big fans of it.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 15: And I don't want to move. They want to stay here.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 31: We want to Thanksgiving together. We want to have Christmas together.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 31: My dad lives across the street from me. So when
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 31: I see what's happening in my beloved and I will
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 31: say beloved New York City, I was born and raised
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 31: in Middle Village, Queens. It breaks my heart. And so
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 31: the time comes, you know, you've got to step up
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 31: time to serve. And I'm all in on this.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 15: I'm telling you, Sid, I'm going to win this race.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 31: We are cruising.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 15: We're doing so well out here.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 31: I go out grocery shopping. I go out campaigning. Wherever
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 31: I am, people are like, you've got to beat her.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 15: You've got to beat her. You're the one. Every morning
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 15: we've been at the Long Island.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 31: Railroad stations, which is why my voice is so hoarse.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 31: I've been getting up every day at like 5 a.m.,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 31: hitting all these different railroad stations. And, you know, you
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 31: think somebody doesn't want to talk to you at 6
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 31: o'clock in the morning.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 15: They stop.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 31: We talk. You have to win, Janine. We have to
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 31: hold the House of Representatives. People are, like, really tuned
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 31: into these races out here.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: Well, they should be. This is very scary stuff. If
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: we lose, our country's done. I hate to get too dramatic.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: I said this a couple days ago. God forbid you
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: guys lose. God forbid. I don't think you will, but
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: God forbid. And Blakeman loses to Hochul? I'll be looking
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: for apartments in Tel Aviv next week. Trust me. It's over.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: But I do think you're going to win. I know
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: that you've got great momentum. Just for the listening audience,
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: I know that, for example, Laura Gillum always votes with
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: the Democrats. She wouldn't care if we had open borders.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: She wouldn't care if the police were defunded. No ice.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: I'm sure she's against ice like the rest of these morons,
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: even though you can count on two hands the amount
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: of incidents where Americans have been hurt compared to the
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: thousands and killed, compared to the thousands and thousands and
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: thousands of murderers and rapists and all these pedophiles and
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: drug dealers who have gotten the hell out of this country.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: So tell me the biggest differences between you and Gillum.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 31: Well, I mean, first of all, the big I think
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 31: the biggest difference is that I have common sense and
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 31: I'm going to vote really to support the residents that
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 31: live in New York for. And I'll tell you, last
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 31: night I was in young Israel of Woodmere. And, you know, obviously,
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 31: if I represent the five towns now, so I'm.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 15: Down there a lot.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 31: But, you know, obviously campaigning now more.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 15: So I spoke very, like, strong.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 31: And I don't know how many people were there, 75, 80.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 31: And I said, this is, like, really a critical vote
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 31: for you because the DSA is going to hold the
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 31: Democrats hostage if they take this, even by one vote.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 31: The Democrats aren't going to be able to do anything
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 31: unless the DSA gets what they want. And guess what?
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 31: The two biggest things they want to defund law enforcement.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 31: As you know, I got a son about to enter
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 31: the NYPD. He's in the NYPD Academy. And I also,
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 31: you know, represent a huge Jewish community. And you have
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 31: to look beyond what's happening day to day in your
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 31: Jewish community.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 15: And see what's going on in New York City.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 31: These people cannot be determining what happens to our beautiful
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 31: Jewish communities.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 15: Just this week, I think.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 31: It was yesterday morning, there was an attack on the
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 31: young Israel of West Hempstead.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 15: I don't know if you heard about this. This is
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 15: an insane story. This guy shows up. He's got a bat.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 31: He's banging on the doors. He can't get in, so
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 31: he goes and gets a political lawn sign off some
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 31: guy's lawn.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 15: The guy had– and they showed it on the news.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 15: I don't know.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 31: I really, I don't know if they were Republican or Democrats.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 31: I'm not sure who's on, hopefully not my son and
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 31: sets it on fire and tries to set the whole
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 31: building on fire. Now, thankfully our wonderful Nassau County police
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 31: were on it. They arrested the guy. This is, and that,
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 31: you know, well, is it anti-Semitic? Of course it's anti-Semitic.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 31: This is Nassau and this is happening. Can you imagine
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 31: how bad it will get if the Democrats take the house?
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: Forget about it. Thank God you got Pat Ryder out
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: there too.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 15: And You know, he's the best.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: He is the best. He's the absolute best. And you've
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: got a great attorney general, too. I helped her win also.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: I love her, too. And Donnelly. So tell me how
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: important it is for you, Janine, that you've got somebody
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: like Bruce Blakeman, Nassau County, at the top of your ticket.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 15: Oh, Bruce is like the best. I love Bruce.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 31: Did you see him on Gutfeld?
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 15: He was so good last night.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: He did a good job. Hilarious. Yes.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 31: He's just– well, so Sunday– so Bruce is running all
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 31: over the place. I mean you can see him on
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 31: social media. He's everywhere. But yet when we need him
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 31: here to help us, he's here. So Sunday we're at
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 31: King Umberto's for an event. Bruce is there. He's amazing.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 31: He's supporting me and Mike Lepetri and everybody else down
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 31: at Ticket.com. And having him definitely is helping us. I mean,
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 31: there is no doubt that he is going to run
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 31: very high numbers in New York 4 and New York 3.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 31: So that's a huge benefit. Plus, we like Bruce. We're
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 31: friends with Bruce. I served on the town board with Bruce.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 31: I have a great relationship with him. You know, he
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 31: is there. I can text him any time I call him.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 31: He you know, anything, you know, especially, you know, and
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 31: obviously I'm not Jewish. So I call him for advice.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 31: He gives it to me. But I that is like
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 31: the second part of the message is we we have
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 31: to elect him. I can't think of the alternative. And
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 31: it's not just Jewish community. It's all communities. We are
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 31: going to suffer. So it is definitely helping. But, you know,
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 31: one other thing that came out, if you're aware of
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 31: this or not, with my race, Lord Gillen backed out
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 31: of my debate.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: So it's all that on CBS.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 31: Yeah.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What I saw the other night was and I
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: asked Peter King about this. I want to ask Joe Cairo,
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: not just you, but I don't think any of these
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: Long Island incumbents are debating anybody, even a load is
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: a winner. But I don't think any of them are.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 9: Are they?
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 31: I think– well, the other– I guess Lolo or the
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 31: guy wouldn't– whoever's running against him would not debate.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: He wouldn't do it, yeah.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 31: Lopetri had a debate with Swazi the other night.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 15: He did a great job.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 31: Mike did a terrific job. But with mine, I just
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 31: think she's a freshman incumbent who has not accomplished one thing.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 31: You need to stand up and defend your record. And
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 31: I'm not like a nobody that came out of the woodwork.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 31: I'm an elected official here. So she has zero respect
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 31: for the process. You know, and of course, the local newspaper,
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 31: you know, endorses her anyway and says that this is
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 31: the trend.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 15: It's a trend.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 31: I think that's outrageous. It should be mandatory that there's
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 31: a debate. So in addition, any time there's a candidate
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 31: for him, she doesn't show up. So I show up everywhere.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 31: I don't care if it's going to be a friendly
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 31: crowd or not friendly crowd, because that's the nature of
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 31: this kind of race.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 15: So I go.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 31: So last night I'm down in Young Israel. And, you know,
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 31: I spoke for a long time. Candidates and she shows up.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 31: She wouldn't even look at me. I mean, she will not.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 31: So I think what is at the root of this
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 31: is that she's sending these commercials out all day long
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 31: saying that I've raised taxes in the town by 40
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 31: million dollars and I don't even vote. with the town board.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 31: So it's like impossible that I would raise taxes. But
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 31: by the way, we also cut taxes 18%. I'm not
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 31: taking credit for that because I didn't vote on it.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 31: But yet she's blaming me for a tax increase a
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 31: few years ago that I had nothing to do with.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 31: But I have to tell you something that's funny. I
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 31: don't know if you've seen the commercial. So she put
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 31: out a commercial And it's me at the Trump rally
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 31: in August. And, you know, that was really a rally
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 31: for our wonderful law enforcement. So I spoke because, you know.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: You were great. I was there.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 15: I totally support.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 14: Yep.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 19: You were there.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 15: And so she made a commercial out of it.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 31: And people are calling me and they're like, wow, we
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 31: love your commercial.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 15: I'm like, it's not.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 32: Me that's not commercial she's paying for it they're like
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 32: oh you look really good i'm like all right whatever
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 32: but yeah so that that's what's happening she's her messaging
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 32: is so bad um and i think she's running scared
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 32: she won't.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 31: Even look at me last night to say hello so
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 31: she's got some major issues.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: She's a coward they're all cowards trust me janine you're
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: not you're a fighter you're great so what do you
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: do now 11 days to go what is your next
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: 11 days look.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 31: Like Okay, so today, the majority with Tom Emmer is
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 31: coming to Garden City for an event for me at
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 31: 5 o'clock.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: One of my favorite people from the great state of Minnesota,
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: the great Tom Emmer.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 15: He's great.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 31: And he has been here before for us. And so
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 31: he's here for me. And because tomorrow we kick.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 15: Off early voting.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 31: So we're just, you know, getting everybody ready and we
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 31: are going to bank the vote every day.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 15: We watch who votes, who didn't vote.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 31: We're going to call you, get out, let's go.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 15: We do need a ride. We're going to get you
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 15: out there.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 31: Tuesday, Speaker Johnson is coming to Nassau County to support
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 31: Mike and me. Yeah. I mean, they're taking these races
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 31: very seriously. This is, these are not throwaway races. I
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 31: do believe that the majority is going to run through
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 31: Nassau County and Last Sunday, Lee Zeldin was here to
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 31: support us, along with Bruce.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 15: And then Monday night, and maybe you can come.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 31: This is going to be great. We're having a rally
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 31: at the Platt Deutsch in Franklin Square, a Republican rally.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 31: We do this every year.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 20: It's huge.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 31: And Casey Crosby from the RNC is coming.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, very good.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 31: So we're trying to get as many people. Yes, I
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 31: think it's like 6 o'clock or something.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 15: Seven o'clock. It's a lot of fun, but it's a huge,
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 15: huge thing.
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 2: Don't be surprised if President Trump is there, too. I'm
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: just throwing that out there. I don't know anything, of course.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: Maybe I do. But my guess is, my guess is,
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: I think the president, I could be wrong, but I
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: do think the president will be back in Long Island
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: one more time.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 15: I think so, too. He knows.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 31: You know what?
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 15: We can do it.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 31: We're regular people. Honestly, it's really about just helping everybody.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 31: We need to keep this country on the right track.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 31: I cannot imagine the alternative for my children. You know,
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 31: I got good kids. You have good kids. And I
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 31: look around my community, my church, the synagogues, and these
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 31: are just people trying to live their lives and not
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 31: violate laws and be productive. and contribute and raise good individuals.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 15: And that's all it is.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 31: We're not looking for power.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 15: So elect us, and we'll do the job. And we
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 15: will be responsive. We will show up.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 31: We will answer questions. And I already said I'll do
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 31: town halls. Nobody does town halls. I don't know what
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 31: everybody's so afraid of.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 15: Just get out there.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 31: There's going to be hard questions. Answer them. Maybe they
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 31: don't like the answer, but you've got to answer people.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 31: You have to look people in the eye and say,
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 31: I'm going to work on it. So, you know, I'm
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 31: just about getting this country to stay on track. I
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 31: think the next two years are going to be great
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 31: if we can hold the majority.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 9: Agreed.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: So for people who want to help you on, I
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: think you're great. I love you. You know, I love you, Janine.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: I really do. So does Danielle, my wife. She loves you.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 15: You're the best. I'm always happy to come on.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: Thank you. How can people help your campaign out today?
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: What's the easiest way to do that?
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 31: Well, my website, there's a donor link. And obviously, you know,
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 31: I'm trying to keep my commercials running. I have these
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 31: really good commercials, and I'm trying to get the third
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 31: one out with all my little grandnieces and nephews.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 15: They're adorable.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 31: And it's my family's in it. It's a great commercial.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 31: Everyone's going to love this commercial. But anyway, so it's Driscoll4Congress. com,
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 31: and it's the number four, like the district. District 4,
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 31: New York 4. Driscoll4Congress. com.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: All right, Janine, keep up the great work. We're very,
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: very proud of you. We really are. All of us here,
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: not just Cairo and King and Bruce. Keep it up, Janine.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: You're going to win. We love you.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 20: I know.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 2: Thank you, sweetheart. Janine Driscoll right there running in District 4.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: And I really do love her. I think she's great.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: She's so down to earth. She's like a regular person, Lou.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 19: One of those people you want to hang out with.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's her, Janine Driscoll. And so is Mike Lepetri
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: running against Two-Face Tom. I call him Tom Swasey. Thank you,
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 2: Nicole Maliotakis. Just sent me a very nice congratulatory text.
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: I got a text at 2.30 in the morning, 2.30,
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: from Maria Bartiromo. She must be in Italy or something.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: There's no way she's texting me at 2.30 in the morning.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: She must be in Europe. Yeah.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 12: Right?
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 13: Uh-huh.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: That's a good call, right?
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 11: Or she's talking to Trump.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: Well, last time I was at the White House, guess
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: who I bumped into? That's a month ago. I actually
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: thought she was going to get the press secretary job.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: She's not getting that, but she was at the White
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: House that day when I was there, Maria Bartiromo, about
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: a month ago. We'll take a short break. When we
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: get back talking about the White House, this lovely lady
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: who's on every Friday worked for President Trump. He was
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: the fourth president she worked for. The brilliant KT McFarlane.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 3: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 24: When asked whether or not she married her brother today.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 4: They asked her, did you marry your brother? She said,
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 4: not to my knowledge. That's one of the worst answers
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 4: I think I've ever heard. You know, I've heard some
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 4: bad political answers. I could go over a lot of them,
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 4: but that would be about the worst.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 16: Not to my knowledge.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 4: Did you have children with your brother?
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 16: I'm not sure.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 25: Well, if you ask me that same question about, let's say,
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 25: my sister, I would say, no, she said not to
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 25: my knowledge.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 24: That tells you a lot right there. No, she's I've
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 24: never been a big fan of hers.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 25: I'll be honest. Let's see how it all works out.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 25: But that statement tells you a lot.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: Pretty often we're reminded why President Trump is not just
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 2: the best leader we've ever had, but far and away
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 2: the funniest and most charismatic president ever. It's not even close.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 2: You can argue Reagan all day long, and KT worked
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 2: for both of those gentlemen, but Reagan on his best
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: day wasn't nearly as funny as Trump. Maybe in closed-door
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 2: meetings with KT, but this guy's a riot, Trump. He's
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: a riot. But it's easy to be a riot when
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 2: the Democrats are lunatics. I mean, this Ilhan Omar, she
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: should be deported tomorrow. Back to Somalia tomorrow. This girl
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 2: married her brother, stole millions and millions of dollars. That
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: big fraud operation with the Somalians in Minnesota. There's enough
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: on her to get her out of here forever. And
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: remember this. Mamdani, Hochul, all these Democrats in New York,
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: who are they defending? Her. The whole morning, Joe and Mika,
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: two of the worst people God ever created. What a
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: fool Joe Scarborough has become. All they're talking about is
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 2: this Vivek Ramaswamy ad. They don't know what else to do.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: You're 11 days away from the midterms. Tell us why
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 2: people like Ilhan Omar, And the lady that Ramaswamy is
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: running against or El-Sayed, tell us why these lunatics should win.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: Other than Trump hates them, so they got to be
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: good people. Right? That's it. Trump, Sid hates them. They
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: got to be good people. I mean, I don't know. KT,
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: they just, they got nothing. And they may win. They
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: may win big. They may beat us up pretty good.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 2: I hope not. I pray to God, no. But they may.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: And yet you never, ever, ever hear a message. Do you, Katie?
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 20: No. And, you know, why is that? It's because the
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 20: Joe's and makers of the world just hate Trump so much.
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 20: They can't possibly like any Republicans and they want to
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 20: shame him in the midterms. And they wanted they just
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 20: overlook the fact that he's completely changed world trade. He
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 20: set America up for a golden age of peace and
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 20: prosperity with a tech boom. and an energy boom, which
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 20: is going to put us, propel us. It's not just
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 20: quantum computing that requires a lot of energy. It's going
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 20: to cause a quantum leap. Whoever gets to AI first
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 20: is a quantum leap. And right now we're ahead of
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 20: the Chinese, but they're catching up. And then everybody else
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 20: is a distant third. We're the only country, though, that has,
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 20: in addition to tech, we also have cheap energy. And
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 20: quantum computing and AI and tech, they need a lot
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 20: more energy than we currently have even. And so the
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 20: country with cheap energy and technology is the country that
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 20: is going to control the future. And that's what Trump's
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 20: setting us up for. And they can't see it because
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 20: they just hate him so much. They just won't get
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 20: past that. But on the other hand, let's say Trump
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 20: does get wiped out in the midterms. Republicans lose both houses.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 20: I don't think it's going to happen. But if it
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 20: does happen, it's not going to make that much of
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 20: a difference. It's not going to derail Trump. all of
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 20: the things that President Trump has already put in. He
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 20: was smart this time around. First time around, he went
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 20: after health care first. He should have gone after taxes.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 10: He didn't.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 20: Second time around, at the very beginning, he went for
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 20: energy dominance, tax and regulatory reform, and that is going
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 20: to be what pays off in the future. And they
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 20: can't undo it. What are they going to do, reopen
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 20: the borders? They can't do anything in Congress whatsoever. without
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 20: Trump's approval. And he's not going to approve any of this.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 20: He's not going to give Greenland back. No, he's not
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 20: going to say that as well. You keep your oil.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 20: He's not going to say, oh, let's reopen the border.
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 20: He can't do it. Congress can't do any of that stuff.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 20: So they will do 24 seven impeachment.
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 15: Absolutely.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 20: But Trump's been to that movie. He knows how to
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 20: handle impeachment.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: But here's the difference. And I agree with you politically. Politically,
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 2: it's not going to make a big deal. But he
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 2: has been impeached. And I told you this last week,
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: and I know this for a fact because I've got
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 2: people on the inside. I know you do, too. He
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 2: is deathly afraid, deathly afraid. The president will never say it.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you what happens to his kids, what happens
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: to his buddies. This didn't happen the first time. This
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 2: time around, these animals will go after everybody. Heck, I
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 2: could be subpoenaed. You could be subpoenaed. And the president
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 2: is nervous about that.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 20: Yes, and here's why it makes a big difference. It
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 20: won't only be while he's president, because let's say you
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 20: get a subpoena, Sid, and you want to go before
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 20: the House Committee of something or other about something, and
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 20: you just say, no, I'm not going to go, because
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 20: you know they're going to just try to kill you.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 20: And so you say, no, I'm not going to go.
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 20: I'm going to defy the subpoena. So then that Democrat
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 20: House Committee can refer to the Trump Justice Department and say, well,
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 20: we want to prosecute Sid Rosenberg for this crime. What
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 20: are they going to do? They're not going to prosecute.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 20: The reason that Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, who did
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 20: the same thing, they defied the subpoenas. The reason they
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 20: went to jail is the Biden Justice Department couldn't wait
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 20: to prosecute them. The Trump Justice Department won't. The problem
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 20: will become after President Trump leaves office. And it won't
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 20: be because anybody that they really think Sid Rosenberg has
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 20: committed a crime. They'll just subpoena everybody. knowing that to
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 20: defend yourself, you go bankrupt. It cost me a million
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 20: dollars to defend myself against crimes that the Justice Department
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 20: knew I hadn't committed.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: Is that right?
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 20: The Russia hoax.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 20: And I didn't get reimbursed for any of that.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 2: Wow. A million dollars and no reimbursement.
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 2: So then I start to wonder, you're right, when he's
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 2: no longer president. And then I start to think, well,
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 2: what about the midterms in 11 days? And I was
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 2: taught when I was in rehab and recovery, one day
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 2: at a time, right? Don't look ahead a day, let
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 2: alone two years. But then, if that's going to be
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 2: the case, how important is it that Rubio or Vance
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: or Cruz, I don't know, that a Republican wins when
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 2: Trump has to step away?
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 20: It's very important. And why I think it will happen is,
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 20: if I'm right... And we are heading for an age
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 20: of tech boom and economic prosperity. And, you know, $ 30
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 20: trillion is being invested in new factory bills in the
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 20: United States. There'll be a jobs boom. There'll be a
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 20: tech boom. There'll be an economic boom. And what will
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 20: happen then is that we'll start seeing this probably in
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 20: six months, certainly within a year. The economy will start
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 20: growing rapidly like it did for Reagan starting in about 1984.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 15: And then by.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 20: 2028, when another election comes, what are you going to have?
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 20: You're going to have a Trump. You're going to have
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 20: a strong, strong, strong economy. And the Iran war will
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 20: be done one way or another. It'll be finished. And
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 20: then you're going to have a Republican candidate who's going
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 20: to run on Trump's policies and his record versus who's
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 20: going to be a Democrat nominee. It's going to be
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 20: some communist candidate. So you're going to have some loony
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 20: communist who's going to run against somebody who promises peace
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 20: and prosperity. I think 2028 looks good.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 2: God, I hope you're right. And you said last week,
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 2: I think you're right about that, too, that right after
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 2: Election Day in both America and Israel. Yes, I'm America first,
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 2: Israel second. Calm down, you anti-Semites. that both of these
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 2: guys may put a whooping on the other side, you know,
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 2: obviously Trump with Iran. So I had Alex Treyman on
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 2: a couple of days ago because this Tuesday, right, our
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 2: elections are next Tuesday. This Tuesday is the big Israel election.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 2: Will Bibi Netanyahu retain power? He can do it two ways.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: If he wins, obviously, but also if he doesn't lose,
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: which is a possibility. So we're hoping Bibi retains power
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 2: on Tuesday. But I said to Alex, I said, My
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 2: friend Katie McFarland said she expects both guys to go
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 2: right back to work on the opposition the day after
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 2: Election Day. What do you think? He's in Israel. He agreed.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 20: That's interesting because no matter who wins, I think he
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 20: will win. But even if he doesn't win, the other
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 20: candidates who are running who might have a chance, they're
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 20: all going to continue to prosecute the Iran war. The
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 20: difference will be this time. Saudi Arabia and the Gulf
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 20: Arabs join.
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 12: Right. Right.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia. That will be Saudi Arabia. Are they do
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 2: you think they are just moments away from joining the
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 2: Abraham Accords?
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 20: They were. This is why the whole thing started three
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 20: years ago. The Saudi leader, Mohammed Salman, went on with
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 20: Brett Barron. He said, we're about to sign the Abraham
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 20: Accords in a few weeks. Bibi went on and said, yeah,
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 20: we are all about to sign the Abraham Accords in
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 20: a few weeks with the Saudis. What did Iran do?
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 20: That's Iran's worst nightmare, that the Saudis would join the
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 20: Abraham Accords. So that's when Iran unleashed Hamas against the
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 20: Israeli women and children and had the big slaughter happen
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 20: on October 7th, because Iran wanted to sabotage Saudi Arabia
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 20: joining the Abraham Accords. Now, Iran has spent three years
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 20: getting defeated one step after another, and they will eventually
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 20: lose this war. And then what will happen? The Saudis
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 20: will join the Abraham Accords.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 20: And Iran will have brought about its worst nightmare.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 9: I love it.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 2: Hey, you all caught up in this Vivek Ramaswamy ad,
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 2: and the lady he's running against who claims she was
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 2: raped for three years, which is awful, by her stepfather.
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 2: But then her estranged mother comes out and goes, she's
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 2: a liar. So Vivek opted to run the ad. I'm
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 2: not sure I would have, but... I'm okay with Trump
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 2: and Bannon defending him. Any thoughts on this?
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 20: You know, it's a judgment call. I really think he's terrific.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 20: He'll make a magnificent governor. He's going to win anyway.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 20: I might not have done it, but on the other hand,
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 20: this is a dirty, nasty business. And as President Trump says,
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 20: the other day when he sort of neglected or sort
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 20: of dodged endorsing the vice president for 28 years, Trump
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 20: likes to see people fight it out in the arena.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 20: He thinks it toughens you up and you need to
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 20: be tough in the political debate. business. So, you know,
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 20: I think you need to be tough. You've got to
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 20: be willing to take the body blows and the knives
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 20: in the back and in the front.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 2: He does like that, but I don't know, man, KT.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 2: He's never said a word to me about this. I
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 2: don't know if he really likes him. I mean, let's
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 2: be honest. This is an Oprah fact. It's a fact.
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 2: When they talked to Iran before they started Epic Fury...
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 2: Vance was a pain in the ass. Like, they had
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 2: screaming matches. Vance disagreed with President Trump. Vance is never
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 2: on Israel's side.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 12: Never.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 2: No matter what he says. And he's still friends with
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 2: Tucker Carlson. President Trump banned Tucker Carlson. And he actually
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: refused to endorse Bibi the other day when President Trump
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 2: did do it. So, I mean, I don't know. How
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: many times could you be on the opposite side of
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 2: your boss? You're the VP. And expect the boss, a
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 2: guy like Trump, to really like you.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 20: You know, we still have two years left in this administration.
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 20: There's a lot of things that are going to happen.
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're right about that.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 9: Just think about this, Sid.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 20: In the 2016 election, at this point, two years before,
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 20: nobody even thought Donald Trump was going to run.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: I didn't. Neither did he.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 14: Yeah, right.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 20: Neither did he. Exactly. So there's just a lot that
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 20: could happen in the next two years.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 2: Is Rubio going to run? What do you think?
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 20: I don't know. He's such an experience. I've known him
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 20: for a long time. About 15 years ago when Obama
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 20: was president and Obama wanted to recognize Cuba, Marco Rubio
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 20: wanted to make a statement anti-Obama that we shouldn't recognize Cuba.
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 20: And so he asked me to do a sort of
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 20: a staged interview with him with a lot of cameras around.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 20: We did it at the Women's National Republican Club. And
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 20: the two of us, Rubio and I, were both walking
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 20: up the back staircase to get to the room that
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 20: we were going to use. And I was stunned. All
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 20: along the back staircase were lined up all of the
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 20: Hispanic Americans who worked at that club. They were the waiters.
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 20: They were the maids, the cleaning ladies, the servers. And
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 20: they stood almost like at attention. And some of the
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 20: women were crying. They just wanted a glance at Marco
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 20: Rubio as the embodiment of what they can do and
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 20: what their children could do. I found it a profoundly
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 20: moving experience.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 2: Coming out of Cuba, of course, AOC is in Maine.
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 2: She was doubling down yesterday on transgender rights. And still
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 2: a lot of polls that I look at have her
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 2: right there. her or Kamala Harris or Pete Buttigieg to
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 2: be the Democrat nominee in 2028. And I'm barely doing this, OK?
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 2: It's not because I'm a misogynist. I'm the last guy
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 2: who's that, OK? I love women. Women are smarter. You're better.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 2: I got no problem saying that. I'm anything but a chauvinist.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 2: But this girl's a moron. I'm sorry, Katie. I know
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 2: she's accomplished a lot, a lot. I got to give
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 2: her credit for that, I guess. But every time she speaks,
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 2: she sounds like a moron. She's going to be the
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 2: presidential hopeful for the Democrats?
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 20: Wouldn't you love to see the debate between her and,
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 20: pick your candidate, Ted Cruz, DeSantis, Rubio, Vance. I mean,
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 20: they'd eat her alive.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 2: That would be ridiculous. All right, last one. 11 days away.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 2: You're in Nassau County. How are you feeling about our guy,
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 2: Bruce Flakeman?
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 20: I'm feeling great. We've got a yard sign up. I think,
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 20: you know, if there's anybody who's got a chance at
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 20: defeating The Democrat machine, it's him. I just hope the
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 20: election results are in that night. I'm going to get
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 20: really nervous if all of a sudden we hear, well,
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 20: Blake was ahead, but we haven't counted all the votes yet.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, boy, you're so right about that. My friend Tom
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 2: Sullivan got screwed running for assembly two years ago with that.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 2: He went to bed, he won, and sent him with Trump.
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 2: He went to bed. He won. And eight hours later,
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden was a presidency, right? We got to get
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 2: those back that night. Katie, you're beautiful. You're smart. I
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 2: love you so much. Thank you. Another great appearance. Thank you.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 20: Thank you.
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 2: God bless you. Katie McFarlane right there. So lucky to
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: have her every Friday right here on sitting friends in
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 2: the morning. Sid and friends.
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 3: In the morning on the red Apple podcast network.
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 16: Hey, by the way, what's going on with the women's NBA? What's,
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 16: what's that all about?
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 12: You know, they'll destroy themselves before they get started because
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 12: they're just starting to do good. And you had a
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 12: player here who was very good, who was very helpful
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 12: for that. No, it's a big deal going on. They
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 12: leave the court when the national anthems play.
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 16: What's that all about?
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 12: You know, the NFL did that for a while and
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 12: they stopped because people stopped watching the games. So I
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 12: think you should do the same thing with women's basketball
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 12: unless they get there.
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 2: And what about LeBron James? Did you see that deal?
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 12: No, he's doing during the national anthem.
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 16: He's practicing his golf swing.
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 7: He's practicing.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 16: So what the hell is that? No, it's a big
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 16: scandal kind of a story. What's it all about? I
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 16: don't understand it. I don't understand it.
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 2: Degrading players' talent because I don't like them. I hate
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 2: when guys do that. I got a buddy. He's a
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 2: really smart guy. His name is Shane. He's at my
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 2: gym every day. I love the guy. I love him.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 2: And he tries to tell me Larry Bird is better
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 2: than LeBron James. I mean, you sound ridiculous. Bird was
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 2: a phenomenal player. Don't get me wrong. Great. Him and
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 2: Magic saved the NBA. For a while there, he was
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 2: as good as anybody. He played about seven years. This guy, James,
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 2: is still great. 21 years later. It's not even close.
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's Michael and LeBron. I'm not comparing centers.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 2: I'm leaving out Wilt and Kareem and And Hakeem and
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 2: Bill Russell, all that. You know, it's Michael, then LeBron.
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 2: That's it. Kobe's like a distant third. I don't care
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 2: if you like the guy or not. He's an asshole.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 2: He is tremendous. And let me tell you something. If
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 2: the Sixers stay healthy, that's a big if. And beads
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 2: always hurt. LeBron's 80. They've already beaten the Knicks and
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 2: the Celtics in the first week of the season. They're
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 2: going to be really good. On paper, that's the best
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 2: team in the Eastern Conference. You got Jalen Brown. You
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 2: don't even talk about him. The guy was the best
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 2: player on the Celtics with Tatum for years. He's on
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 2: that team with LeBron and Maxie. Maxie is the most
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 2: unstoppable player in the league. That kid's got a rocket
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 2: up his ass. Don't forget it. You can't stop him. No,
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 2: you can't stop that guy. But that's your answer, Mr.
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 9: President.
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 2: That's your answer for LeBron James. I could separate the two.
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 2: Give the guy credit as a tremendous physical talent. But
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 2: at the same time, really a jerk. I mean, just
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 2: a complete unlikable jerk. Second thing, I had this guy
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 2: on last year in studio. When was it? You said September? Justin?
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 2: John Samuelson? I think he's coming back Monday. So he
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 2: is the president of, like, the driver's union. What do
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 2: I mean by that? If you drive a bus, if
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 2: you drive a horse, he's in charge. And you guys remember,
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 2: at one point, he started saying nice things about Mom Donnie,
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 2: who hadn't won yet. And I'm like, you don't want
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 2: to do that here, John. I don't know you well
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 2: enough to let you do that here. And he was
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: kind of taken aback. I thought he was intimidated. He
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 2: was a little nervous. He walked out.
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 9: He asked Norm.
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 2: He goes, how'd I do? It didn't go all that
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 2: well because I hate Mom Donnie. So he's defending Mom Donnie, saying, yeah,
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 2: he's not a bad guy. How's your Mom Donnie now, John?
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 2: Last I checked, Mamdani is the guy that has destroyed
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 2: your business, your people. You lead that union, the horse riders.
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 2: And Julie Menon, what a liar. Julie, I am so
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 2: disappointed in you. I really am. This is not about
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 2: the horses. This business has been around for like 200 years.
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 2: You can count on one hand the amount of horses
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 2: that died. One horse died last year. They have rules
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 2: in effect. They don't take the horses out when it's
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 2: too hot. The one thing if a horse died every
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 2: week for 100 years, I wouldn't argue with you. And
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 2: then you're going to tell me it's dangerous for the tourists? Really?
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 2: You get people getting killed every week in this city
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 2: from scooters, from bicycles. One tourist died.
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 21: One.
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 2: One horse, one tourist. And you guys are going to
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 2: shut down a business that is the heart of New
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 2: York City, been around for like 200 years, that employs
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 2: all these immigrants. You're going to shut it down based
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 2: on a lie. Because the truth is, you lying bastards,
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 2: you're going to make money on the real estate. Come on,
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 2: Julie Menon. Come on, Mayor Mamdani. Let's be honest, to
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 2: quote the great Joe Benigno. This is a real estate ploy.
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 2: That's all this is. There's not enough horses dying. There's
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 2: not enough tourists dying to shut this down. I'd be
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 2: on this way. So did John Katzmatidis. The New York
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 2: Post did a story on this yesterday, mentioned both of us.
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 2: The president knows about this. President Trump knows about it.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 2: This is nonsense. Julie Menon is lying to you. Mayor
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 2: Mondani is lying to you. They just want to destroy
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 2: New York and they want to make money at every opportunity.
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 2: You ever do one of those things, Pete, you and Maureen? Yeah.
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 11: It's a disgrace to get rid of it.
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 20: Right?
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 11: Absolute disgrace.
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 2: You have an apartment in the city.
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 11: Part of the charm of this town.
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you. Good God.
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 11: And you're going to take it away?
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 2: For a lie.
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 11: Oh, let's stop putting up holiday decorations. Why don't we
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 11: do that next?
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 2: That could be. Hey, that could be next.
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 11: Son of a bitch.
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 2: And if it's about the horses, they'll be shutting down
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 2: Aqueduct and Beaumont. Could you imagine that? You know what?
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 11: We have friends who own horses. And they get treated
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 11: like you wouldn't believe.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 2: Kings. Unbelievable. Vinny Viola's horse. Yeah. Years ago. Not Golden Temple.
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 2: He just won the Kentucky Derby in the Belmont. That horse.
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 2: But he had a horse years ago that was a
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 2: Willie Dodds on favorite to win the Derby. Oh, with
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 2: an F. I forgot the name of the horse. I'm embarrassed.
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Either way, the horse went out for its
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 2: morning walk. The morning of the Kentucky Derby. The horse
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 2: stepped on a pebble.
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 11: And they scratched it.
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 2: Vinny refused to run the horse. What was the name
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 2: of that horse? It was a great horse. Son of
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 2: a bitch.
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I should know.
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 2: May have won the Preakness that year. I don't remember.
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 2: But either way, the horse owners, they treat these horses
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 2: like kings. Yeah. They're lying, Julie Mann and the mayor.
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 2: Quote me, please, New York Post, Daily News, New York One,
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 2: you communist bastards. The mayor and the city council speaker
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 2: are lying. They're liars. Joe Takapina, he's coming up next.
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 5: Known for his fierce demeanor, his flowing hair, and a
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 5: true zest for life, Ron Duguay burst onto Broadway as
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 5: a 20-year-old in 1977. First round draft choice, rookie Ron Duguay.
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 2: Took a whole season for the hair to grow back
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 2: after his rookie initiation.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 6: Well, I'll take it easy right after the season, take
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 6: it easy, maybe go down to Florida and relax.
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 5: During his eight seasons in New York, Ron was a
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 5: Stanley Cup finalist.
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 2: Here's Duguay getting set.
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 20: Scores!
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 5: An all-star.
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 26: Duguay scores!
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 5: A 40-goal scorer.
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 2: Duguay!
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 20: Duguay!
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 2: Duguay, a shot-handed goal!
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 5: And a matinee idol. His post-hockey career included 11 years
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 5: as an Emmy-winning analyst and personality on programs across MSG networks.
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 8: We are so grateful that the New York Rangers have
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 8: made the playoffs again. But now that they're here, Steve,
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 8: they've got to get her done.
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 5: He shared his love of hockey, and especially the Rangers,
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 5: with an equally adoring fan base and cherished his role
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 5: as an ambassador for the Garden of Dreams Foundation and
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 5: Rangers charitable events.
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 6: I have the pleasure of being the emcee. And I
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 6: do it because it's so well done and so well
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 6: received and I see the smile on their faces of everyone.
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 6: I'm going to keep doing this because I love it.
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 6: And as long as there are New York Ranger fans
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 6: in the audience that are rooting for you, it just
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 6: brings the best out of me.
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 5: Ron leaves behind daughters Shea and Amber and son Noah,
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 5: as well as generations of fans who reserved a special
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 5: place in their hearts for all he brought.
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 7: Our hearts are.
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 5: With Ron's family and loved ones. Ron Duguay, gone at
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 5: the too young age of 69.
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 2: As soon as he died yesterday morning, I got a
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 2: text from his girlfriend. You've heard of her, Sarah Palin.
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 2: And Sarah and I are very, very close. Very. And
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 2: I didn't see this text yesterday morning. I was all
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 2: caught up in the Hall of Fame stuff. I just
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 2: saw it this morning. But at 10.06 yesterday morning, Sarah
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 2: Palin sent me this. She said, hi, Sid. Ron passed away.
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 2: away a few hours ago. It was all very peaceful.
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 2: One of his daughters, Shay, and his son Noah and
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 2: I were at his hospital bedside. I know he's in
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 2: heaven 100%. He respected and loved you so much. I'm
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 2: very thankful to have spent these years with him. He
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 2: changed my life and my kids' lives for the better.
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 2: Thank you for everything you did for him. Sarah Palin
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 2: Ronnie was a great guy, a Republican. He loved President Trump.
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 2: He loved this show. He would text me. He would
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 2: see my stuff on Instagram, and he wasn't afraid to
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 2: say it. He went on Fox News, but he would
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 2: see my Instagram clips about Trump, and he'd go, Bravo,
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 2: my friend. So we talked about a lot of things
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 2: outside of hockey. The Rangers screwed him. They were not
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 2: very good to him in the end of his life.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 2: They should be embarrassed. I'm sorry. Jim Dolan won a
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 2: championship for the Knicks, and I like Jim Dolan, but
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 2: the Rangers did not treat Ron Duguay well. To the
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 2: day he died, the Islanders treated him better. But we'll
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 2: miss number 10. I think Sarah's going to join me Monday.
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 2: She's a little too broken up to join me today.
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 2: So we'll talk to Sarah Palin on Monday. And to
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 2: my left is one diehard Ranger fan who already cried
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 2: this morning, Pete Morgan. And on the phone right now
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 2: is another diehard Ranger fan, my dear friend of 49 years,
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 2: the best defense attorney in the world. And I think
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 2: he cried yesterday at the Hall of Fame luncheon. The
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 2: very rugged but very, very sensitive Joseph Takapina. Joe Tak,
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 2: good morning, buddy. How are you?
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 9: I didn't realize how sensitive I was. You know, this, um,
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 9: the peer duct that I had, uh, I thought was malfunctioning.
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 9: You know, when I was like eight, I remember crying once, but,
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 9: but yeah, yesterday just about did it. Um, you know,
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 9: that was a beautiful, beautiful ceremony. Um, you're, you know,
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 9: having your mom there and your mom gave me maybe
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 9: the I just thought I'd never had in my life.
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 9: At one point, I was tapping out on her back,
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 9: but she didn't really feel it. But she's like.
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 20: My tack, my tack.
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 9: Obviously, we go back so long. I mean, at 91
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 9: years old, she's as sharp as a tack, and she
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 9: looks amazing.
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 9: That whole thing, yes, it all came together for me.
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 9: I mean, your success, what you've done. where we came from, Sid,
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 9: you know, you and I, you know, fifth graders in
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 9: Poly and Brooklyn and all that, sixth graders. I mean,
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 9: it was unbelievable to see what happened yesterday. And for
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 9: me to absorb it, your speech was phenomenal, by the way.
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 9: Thank you. Both funny, gracious, Sid, you know, the way
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 9: you are. And really, you know, The whole moment was
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 9: daunting for me, and I was never more proud of
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 9: a friend, a brother, than I was yesterday. I've got
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 9: to be honest with you. Yesterday was a day for me.
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 9: I did tell you that yesterday because it was true.
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 9: And I'm getting goosebumps right now just reliving that. So, yeah,
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 9: that was a beautiful day. Seeing Noah, Lou, and Justin
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 9: and the whole crew, Chad, yesterday. Just everyone there to
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 9: support you and love you. It was just a culmination
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 9: of all that's gone on the last decade and a half,
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 9: and it just was really a special, special day for me.
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 2: Me too. And I was happy you were there. And
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 2: my daughter, Ava, of course, who before Ava worked with
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 2: Authorite Dollar, she worked with Joseph Takapini. You guys need
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 2: to know that. And, you know, my wife, Danielle, loves you.
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 2: And Gaby thinks you're like a like an action hero
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 2: or something. I don't know. Now, the whole family was
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 2: happy to see you. And what a table you guys had, too.
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 2: You and Pete and Bo and Arthur and Corey and Rich.
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, you guys had the all-star table.
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 9: It was a nice little table back there. Yeah, we
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 9: were getting in trouble. I mean, I got whistles. I
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 9: don't know if you heard it. It was like, whoop, whoop.
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 2: Well, he couldn't believe. He couldn't believe that President Trump
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 2: and Bibi Netanyahu actually sent me personalized videos. He couldn't
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 2: believe it.
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 9: I know I said to him, I go, why does
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 9: that surprise you? He's very good friends with both of them.
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 9: I mean, you can run for, Netanyahu would probably bring
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 9: you in as his heir apparent. You know, you could
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 9: definitely become prime minister in Israel.
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 2: I think so.
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 9: There's no question. You could. You know, this country would
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 9: be a little tougher.
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 9: But, you know, but yeah. And then, you know, when
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 9: I saw Trump there, I was like, yeah, you know,
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 9: I took a little pride in that because I did that.
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 9: It was nice.
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 2: So 90 something seconds. He called me his good friend
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 2: about three times. It was so beautiful. He did that.
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 2: But I did come in with the Duque stuff because
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 2: you're a diehard Ranger fan. And I remember getting into
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 2: fights at Poly Prep. We were little kids. And Danny Fagliano,
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 2: an Islander fan, other guys, because they were winning back then.
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 2: That's when they had Bossy and Trotty and all that nonsense. But,
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 2: you know, I'd be fighting and saying, we got Ron Duque.
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 2: You got Ron Duque. He had 40 goals in 81,
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 2: you bastards. And he's better looking than anybody on the Islanders.
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 2: How about that? But he remained friends with me.
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 9: Sassoon.
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 2: Sassoon. How sad was that? He died yesterday.
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 9: It's really, really sad. Yeah. That happened so quickly. I mean,
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 9: it was like a year ago, just fine. And then boom, gone.
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 2: Um, a year ago, I spoke to him a month ago.
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 2: He actually lost three weeks ago. So it turns out
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 2: he had some medication and he had some negative effect
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 2: from the medication. And he did a, um, he fell
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 2: down and smashed his face, his face tack on the, uh,
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 2: on his floor in his house. He was in Jacksonville.
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 2: And he lost teeth. He never lost teeth playing in
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 2: the NHL. No one has teeth. Nobody. He smashed. He
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 2: did a face shot. Hit the floor. Lost some teeth.
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 2: He called me from the hospital. And I said, is
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 2: it kind of like what the kid from New Jersey
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 2: looks like? Remember when he scored the game winning goal?
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 20: Yeah, of course.
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 2: He said, yeah, it is like that. He goes, but
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be fine. I'll get my teeth fixed.
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 2: I said, Ronnie, that makes me nervous. You just fall
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 2: and hit your face. He said, look, I'm not feeling great.
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 2: He goes, but I'm telling you. I'm on my way back.
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 2: That was three weeks ago. Four days ago, four days ago,
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 2: Sarah Palin sent me a text. She said, we think
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 2: it hit its liver and we need some prayer, Sid.
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 2: So five days ago, I was at the Garden for
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 2: a Knick game for a fundraiser preseason with Bruce Blakeman.
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 2: Went up to Jim Dolan, swear to God, Tack, and
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 2: I go, hey, Jim, I love you. You've done a
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 2: lot of great things for New York with the Knicks
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 2: and I love your political stands. But Ron Duguay, one
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 2: of the greatest Rangers ever, he's dying. And the Ranger
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 2: organization has not done much. As far as I know,
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 2: to the day he died, they didn't do much. So
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 2: there was a lot of Duguay talk in my life
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks. And as I said, we
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 2: lost him yesterday.
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 9: Yeah, well, it's whenever someone leaves early, especially someone who's
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 9: a good person, productive, and a fiber of this community,
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 9: because Ron Duguay was. I mean, look, he played, what,
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 9: 40 years ago, and you still know the name as
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 9: if you were on the team now.
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 2: It's true, yeah.
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 9: And, you know, so it's very, very sad.
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 2: It is sad. So you sent me this a couple
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 2: of days ago. You're really excited about this book, like
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 2: really excited about it. And we saw a lot of
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 2: books on this show. Just so you know, people write
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 2: a book. They can't wait to come on. We're not Oprah.
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 2: We're not Imus, but we're close. This new book, American Insurgency.
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 2: Tell me about this.
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 9: Well, yeah. So a friend of mine, retired Green Beret
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 9: Lieutenant Colonel Rob Schaefer. He's an amazing guy. I mean,
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 9: he wrote a book called The Green Beret Way, which
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 9: is about leading elite. teams under extreme conditions. This guy
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 9: is brilliant, and he's the real, real deal. So he's
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 9: written this very provocative book called American Insurgency Here and Now.
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 9: And when I read it, I was like, oh, my God. Basically,
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 9: his argument is that we're looking at America's turmoil incident
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 9: by incident when we should really be asking whether there's
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 9: a larger strategy at work. He applies framework that he
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 9: learned studying insurgencies to what's happening here at home. It's
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 9: pretty insane. His basic argument is that a country can
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 9: be weakened from within by destroying confidences in our institutions,
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 9: exploiting legitimate grievances, and turning Americans against one another. And
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 9: he asks whether we're recognizing those methods when they appear
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 9: in our own country, Sid. And I've got to be
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 9: honest with you, if you look at the– I mean,
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 9: again– He is the real deal. I mean, this guy
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 9: has– he's prepared for presidents, heads of state, chiefs of defense,
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 9: these intelligence reports. So he is the standard that really
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 9: the U.S. Army Special Forces elements use to really evaluate things.
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 9: And what he's done, everyone thinks we're fighting this war
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 9: on terror, and we are. But the truth is much
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 9: bigger because the U.S. is in the middle of a
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 9: true insurgency. And most citizens have no idea, okay? Absolutely
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 9: no idea. So, you know, look. Their confidence, America's confidence
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 9: in our core institutions is at an all-time low. Congress
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 9: is 9%. Television news, 14%. Newspapers, 17%. I mean, you're
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 9: the outlier. You're 100% confidence. Thank you. It's true. So
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 9: the insurgency doctrine that is the soil of everything else
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 9: grows in and it just keeps growing, growing. Insurgencies grow
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 9: when the populace loses faith in its government and core
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 9: institutions like the press. So, you know, the news shows
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 9: you the tip of the iceberg, the visible 10 to
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 9: 15 percent of an insurgency designed to be seen. So
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 9: you don't really look any further. But this book shows
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 9: you the rest. And so it's not just what you
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 9: saw or heard about. But what really matters is everything else.
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 9: What you're reading in the news makes sense. But once
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 9: you read the book and understand the framework, everything you've
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 9: seen here, it's scary. It is absolutely scary.
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 2: It sounds amazing.
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 9: Ice agents' homes, addresses, and their kids' schools are posted online.
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 9: Auxiliary infrastructure supporting guerrilla operations are there. Face shields for
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 9: peaceful protest rallies, logistics. Somebody raised the money, okay, in bulk.
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 9: And brought them in in bulk, called these face masks
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 9: for these peaceful rallies, right? And rented a truck and
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 9: assigned people to hand them out. Spontaneous peaceful protests don't
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 9: have logistics beyond signage and water, okay? And then you
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 9: have like a sitting mayor, this Aileen Wang, who pled
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 9: guilty to acting as a Chinese agent infiltrating our government. Okay?
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 9: And she didn't do it after she was elected. She
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 9: did it and then became elected. So she wasn't recruited
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 9: after she took office. She ran for office as an insurgent.
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 9: And it's daunting and it's scary. And we have to
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 9: pay attention. That's what this book does. It's an eye-opener.
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 9: It's not a fun read by any stretch. It's the
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 9: most fascinating read.
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 2: It sounds awesome.
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 9: It really is.
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 2: It really is. Lieutenant Colonel Robert Schaefer. The book is
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 2: American Insurgency. And Takapina just made it sound incredibly interesting.
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, incredibly interesting. So go buy this book today,
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 2: American Insurgency. I do want to bring up one. Well,
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 2: I guess it's law and order. I know that you,
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 2: like me, can't stand Letitia James. You've actually fought against
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 2: Letitia James in a courtroom. And it turns out that
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 2: Letitia James was aware that Saritha Komatoredi kicked her ass
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 2: in that debate two weeks ago. That she sent out
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 2: an email to her people, which I saw. where she
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 2: said after the debate last night, this thing is getting
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 2: much closer. My Republican counterpart is actually doing better than
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 2: we think. She asked for more money. And I saw
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 2: a poll a couple of days ago, and Saritha seems
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 2: to be right there. Now, look, I wouldn't bet against
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 2: Letitia because she's part of the machine. She's a Democrat machine.
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 2: That's it. Bottom line. She stands next to the police commissioner.
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 2: She stands next to the mayor. The black people tend
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 2: to like her. So I wouldn't bet against her. But
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 2: it does look like Saritha at least has a chance.
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 2: That makes you happy, yes?
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 9: Oh, God, yeah. I mean, look, honestly, if Norm, Lou, anyone, Pete, John, Frank,
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 9: were running for attorney general, it'd make me happy to
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 9: have anyone but Patricia James. I mean, honestly, the guy
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 9: who delivers the coffee in the morning, I'd rather have him.
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 2: Any mob guy that you kept out of jail.
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 9: Don't kid yourself. A mob guy would put the city
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 9: back in.
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, listen.
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 16: I don't know.
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 2: I say that all the time. I thought you'd be
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 2: mad at me. This city ran a lot better when
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 2: John Gotti was alive. I mean that. I really mean that. Yeah, well, yeah.
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 9: You know, doing what he did for the populace. But yes,
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 9: I understand what you're saying because we need one or look,
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 9: go back to Giuliani, go back to Bloomberg. I mean
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 9: that the city was, was a well-oiled machine, respected, loved
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 9: people felt safe here. People want to put money here.
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 9: People bought homes here. Now, now the opposite's happening. People
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 9: don't feel safe. Okay. I wouldn't let my daughter on
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 9: the subway. I honestly, I would, I never let that happen.
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 9: Today's day and age.
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you this. So, but do you feel better?
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 2: because you got some beautiful kids, about your daughter and
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 2: your two grandsons living in London. That's not exactly Miami either.
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 9: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Dude, that's over.
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're coming back.
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 9: They're back, right? If they don't come back, her poor
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 9: husband's going to have a fatal accident that hasn't happened yet.
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 9: But he's actually going to get hit by a bus,
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 9: one of those big red buses in London, because they're
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 9: coming back here. And they promised me that. That was
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 9: part of the wedding deal that we made. So they're
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 9: absolutely coming back because London is that place. I'm heading
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 9: there to do trick-or-treating with the order. Where we're going,
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 9: this is where I go. So it's like this. But
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 9: London is a mess.
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 2: It's a mess.
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 20: No, no.
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 2: You've been watching, like New York City, but you've been
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 2: watching the last couple of days what's happening in Paris.
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 2: By the way, they are still going to play the
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 2: first NFL game ever. They play in London all the time,
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 2: 26 games in London. The Steelers are going to play
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 2: the Saints in Paris on Sunday morning. What's that, Tack?
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 9: Yeah, insane. And that's where you'll get those... crackpots those
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 9: lunatics those those america haters will come out there and
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 9: force and you know the french police aren't exactly our
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 9: police right they don't really have special forces guys i
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 9: mean they do but they're limited and they don't use
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 9: their military for you know things like this we're gonna
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 9: honestly if i was a stealer i'd be like yeah
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 9: i'm gonna pass on this game we'll take the l
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 9: they've already.
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 2: Said it the saint players have already said it they
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 2: don't want to play.
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 9: There It's ridiculous because you're going to put people at
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 9: risk now. And don't forget, these countries, England, you know,
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 9: cops can't carry guns in England. Can you believe that?
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 9: They have batons like sticks.
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 20: You've got to be kidding me.
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 2: By the way, they do have less crime, though. They do.
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 9: Well, I mean, I think they have less crime. It's
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 9: more of a cultural thing, honest, to be honest with you.
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 9: I agree. That is now disappearing. People say how dangerous
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 9: London is. Every time I go there, I go, don't
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 9: wear your watch on the field. I'm like, oh, yeah, please.
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 2: It's wrong.
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 9: Let someone try to take my watch. It gives me
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 9: a reason to be able to employ all my skills
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 9: that I never really get to use.
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 2: But, Joe, you do understand that not every person has
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 2: 22-inch arms and has been trained by the Army like you.
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 2: You understand that.
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 9: No, I do. I understand that. But it is, it is,
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 9: it is, it's scary that people are afraid to go
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 9: out in the streets in London. I can't speak so
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 9: much to Paris, but London is a disaster.
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 2: Paris is just as bad. I was in both places
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 2: last summer for Ava, and it's just as bad. It
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 2: looks like Pakistan. I don't know what's going on. So,
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 2: on the way out, Joseph, you were beautiful yesterday, and
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 2: everybody was so happy to see you yesterday, and I
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 2: want to thank you for being there. You're my longest friend.
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 2: Almost 50 years you've been friends.
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 9: 50 years.
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 2: You're like a brother to me and you're great to
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 2: me and my family. And I love you to pieces.
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 2: And you're great on this show, everybody. We talk about
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 2: so many different things from sports to the army to
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 2: legal stuff. And then sitting right next to me is
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 2: your other gay lover. You got two. Pete Morgan. You
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 2: love Joe Takapina.
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 12: Of course.
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 11: We had a great time yesterday.
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 9: It was Pete's table. Pete was the sponsor of that table.
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 9: He invited all, he brought us all together. So that's
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 9: kudos to Pete and Maureen. That was, that was them.
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 9: And so, yeah, thank you, Peter. It was beautiful. And,
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 9: you know, let's go and let's get Hellebuck, please.
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 11: Oh, you sound like my wife. She's calling him Hucklebuck.
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 2: Is that still happening? Are they still going to get him, maybe?
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 11: We've got Kaepernick now.
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 2: They're playing well.
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Kaepernick. Of course, that would be a nice problem
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 9: to have next year when we don't know what to
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 9: do because we're going.
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 2: To have Hellebuck and Ivo.
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 11: Got to trade one of them.
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 2: Right. Well, we'll see.
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 9: Ivo can score better than most of our forwards.
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 2: That's true. Good point. He's got a goal. That's right.
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 2: The Rangers are playing well, so we'll see.
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 9: They really are.
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 11: Enjoy that trick-or-treating, bro.
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 2: What are you going as? What are you going as, Joe?
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 9: I'm a referee.
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 2: A referee?
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 11: Oh, jeez.
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 20: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 11: A referee.
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah. Theo, my grandson, is a Liverpool fanatic. He
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 9: will wear a Liverpool jersey every morning, noon, and night,
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 9: every single day. My poor daughter Morgan is constantly washing
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 9: those jerseys, so it's pretty funny. But he's so fanatical
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 9: about Liverpool, and he's three years old.
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 2: Does he know that his grandfather owned championship teams in Italy?
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 9: No, I don't think he knows that yet.
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 2: He doesn't even know?
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 9: I don't think he knows that yet.
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, he's going to grow up. That's my grandfather. He
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 2: was on magazine covers in Italy with those soccer teams
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 2: all the time. That's great. God bless him.
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 9: He's beautiful.
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 2: They're both beautiful. You're beautiful. I love you, Joe Tacopina.
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 9: See you again. Congratulations, brother.
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 2: Thank you, buddy. I love that guy. 50 years almost.
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 2: You believe that? And just as smart and handsome, and
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 2: he's got everything. Joseph Takapina, pride of Bedford Avenue. Bedford
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 2: Avenue in Brooklyn, New York, by Bedford Park. We'll take
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 2: a short break. We'll come back. You got a lot
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 2: more to do. Colleen Smith, she said they come in threes,
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 2: and I've been talking all morning long about my dear
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 2: friend Ron Duguay, who died yesterday. Tom Skerritt. You guys
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 2: remember the actor Tom Skerritt? He was in Top Gun.
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 2: Come on, he played.
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 19: He was great in Top Gun.
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 2: He was so great in that. And this one is
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 2: also really going to hurt. I saw this man in
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 2: concert just last summer at Beth Bell Woods, and he
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 2: was a real great American, and I missloved him, too.
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 2: Willie Nelson just passed away, folks. I know he was
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 2: in his 90s.
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 19: Wow, that's crazy.
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 2: That's a big one. Yeah, so Willie Nelson dying this morning.
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Colleen Smith, for letting us know. So rest
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 2: in peace to... Another American great, Willie Nelson.
• 2:08:51
  Speaker 3: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 3: Podcast Network.
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 2: She sent me this Instagram link.
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 19: I'm begging you.
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 2: They described his whole career, and they were playing a
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 2: Willie Nelson song underneath it. To remember the late great
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 2: Willie Nelson. It's too hilarious.
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 19: I'm surprised I'm still sitting up.
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 11: He turns to me and says, Willie Nelson just died.
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 9: I said, what?
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 11: I said, I have nothing on my phone here that
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 11: says that. He's like, no, no, Colleen Smith.
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 2: Colleen Smith never lies.
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 19: No, he tried overriding all of us.
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 2: That's right. What do you mean overriding? When I said
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 2: to you, Willie Nelson died, you were all for me
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 2: jumping right in.
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 11: Not exactly. No.
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 2: You didn't stop me. I tried to. No, you didn't.
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 2: Even though with the music.
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 19: Okay, I guess from now on I'll go, let's check
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 19: it on four or five things. Stupid Lou, that's what.
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 2: He wants to do.
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 11: Lou said, we're coming back. You can do it when
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 11: we come back. And you said, no, no, no.
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 2: Lower the music.
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 26: Right, I've got to get it in now.
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 2: Lower the music.
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 26: I've got to get it in now.
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 11: He lowers the music.
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 26: The best part is, this has happened before.
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 11: Of course it has.
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 29: If you Google Willie Nelson dead, every single thing that
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 29: comes up is, no, I'm still here.
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 2: Still here. Somebody sent me a, I don't know, some
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 2: type of statement. Because I guess like Justin just said,
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 2: there's been reports of his death for years. And the
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 2: statement said, in terms of Willie Nelson, ready for this?
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 2: Active and alive. How fantastic is that? Active and alive.
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 26: Like you said, you saw him a couple of weeks ago.
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 1: He's still performing.
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 2: It was a couple of months ago. But what I saw,
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 2: he could have died that night. Let's be honest.
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 11: Well, you felt that way for 40 years.
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 2: I know. I know. Are we sure he's not dead?
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 2: He's definitely not dead. How do we know?
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 19: Because I'm getting texts galore.
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 2: Did his wife text you? No, from Willie. Who texted you?
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 2: Colleen Smith. What relation does she have?
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 19: Who is this guy?
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 2: She's a very trustworthy lady.
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 29: I'm sure she's a very nice, trustworthy lady, but she
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 29: got this one dead wrong.
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 1: It's a terrible source.
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 2: Why do you mean a terrible source? Well, she got dead.
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 26: She got wrong.
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 1: She got a lie.
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 2: Pun intended. Dead wrong.
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 22: I've been doing news for 26 years, 27 years now.
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 1: I've never killed off somebody who was not already dead.
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 2: I do it all the time.
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 11: Roughly good of you, Norm.
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 2: Jesus.
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 28: In Brooklyn, they call him the Grim Reaper.
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 2: Norm actually, and this is one of Norm's greatest moments
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 2: on there. I mean this sincerely. When crooks tried to
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 2: kill President Trump in In Pennsylvania. And there were all
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 2: these rumors about who the bad guy was. And there
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 2: was one guy in particular that everybody was talking about.
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 2: Every news station, every TV station. And Noam was actually
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 2: on the air with Dick-based Curtis Sliwa. And Noam refused
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 2: to go on the air until he had 1,000% approval.
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 2: news that that was the actual perp and as it
• 2:12:01
  Speaker 2: turned out that was not the guy so.
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 22: And you know what he did that you know what
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 22: he did that guy because he was an italian guy
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 22: i think he killed himself he sued all these broadcasting
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 22: outlets he made.
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 11: Millions of dollars he's not dead either.
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 22: No he's not dead but he sued he sued a
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 22: bunch of um tv and radio outlets and he cashed
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 22: in oh did he really yeah oh that's good so
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 22: i saved i saved uh john a million bucks.
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 2: Probably probably Wow.
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 19: My favorite part, which I'll never forget now, is maybe
• 2:12:30
  Speaker 19: we should lower the.
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 11: Music right now so I can get in.
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 28: I'm like, what do you want to do? No, we
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 28: should update everybody. That was my favorite part.
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 2: No, no, I got to do it now. I got
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 2: to do it now.
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 19: Now, like, we could do it in, like, three minutes.
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 2: I know. I'm not that guy. He's okay. I'm a
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 2: big Willie Nelson fan. We broke in to say that.
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not going to lie. There's a part
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 2: of me that wishes I was right. Oh, jeez. But
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 2: I don't want the guy to die because I love
• 2:12:54
  Speaker 2: Willie Nelson. He's a real American, but I hate being wrong.
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 2: But I'm not wrong. It was Colleen Smith, so. I
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 2: don't want to throw her under the bus. Have I
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 2: said her name yet?
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 11: That bus has rolled over her ten times now. That's
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 11: the first thing you said. She's a speed bump for
• 2:13:12
  Speaker 11: that bus. Holy God. What a beating.
• 2:13:15
  Speaker 19: The new fact checker on the show is going.
• 2:13:16
  Speaker 2: To be her, I think. You know what Doug just
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 2: told me? Doug said that Dave Herman, you know Dave Herman, Lou?
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 2: Very famous. He would do the same thing, and then
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 2: the person would be alive. But often they would die
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 2: the next day. Oh, wow. So somebody may want to
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 2: call and say, that movie with the kids, they have
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 2: these premonitions. They all get killed in really horrible, those
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 2: horror movies. It's a whole chain of them. It's great.
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 2: Somebody may want to call Willie and say that's it.
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 2: His wife said, I don't know. He's sitting there having breakfast.
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 2: He's sitting right with me. He looks fine.
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 28: He's surrounded by probably four guitars, his sons. He's writing
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 28: something probably.
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 1: And a lot of weed.
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 11: Smoking a joint. Smoking a joint.
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Is that true?
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 31: Am I dead?
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 2:13:59
  Speaker 19: Maybe I am.
• 2:14:00
  Speaker 2: Let's write a song about it, guys. So Bernadette will
• 2:14:04
  Speaker 2: come on Monday.
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 11: So if he dies tomorrow or Sunday, you're going to
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 11: say you were right.
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not going to take credit for that. No,
• 2:14:11
  Speaker 2: if that happens, I'm not going near Sid again.
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 18: I feel terrible.
• 2:14:15
  Speaker 2: I like Willie Nelson. I feel terrible. I'll give Colleen
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 2: Smith the credit. Colleen Smith called it.
• 2:14:22
  Speaker 11: The new Sid and Friends whipping person.
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 2: Poor Colleen.
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 28: We've got to lower the music down for that.
• 2:14:30
  Speaker 2: I did do that.
• 2:14:31
  Speaker 11: You can't make this up.
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 2: I bought in Hook, Line, and Sinker. And then when
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 2: I saw this beautiful tribute, I did a whole.
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 28: Yeah, he had to come in and play it for
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 28: us over the air while Justin is doing the Ron
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 28: Duguay story that he died.
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 26: That was diabolical.
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 2: He really did die, Ron Duguay. And he's a dear
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 2: friend of mine.
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 29: You've been in radio for way too long to ever
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 29: hold your phone up to the microphone and act like
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 29: that's a viable option.
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 28: And he was going to a couple of microphones to
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 28: see if one of them would work.
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 29: What world are we living in here? What are we doing,
• 2:15:01
  Speaker 29: the rinky-dink? Who were the guys from Glens Falls yesterday?
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 29: What are we, in that radio station?
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 2: That's right. Hey, let me just say this about those guys.
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 2: They're Hall of Famers just like me. I'm not slamming them.
• 2:15:12
  Speaker 2: Jerry Rice went to Mississippi Valley State. He's a Hall
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 2: of Famer just like somebody from Ohio State. That Dan
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 2: Miner is a superstar, that guy. I love him. Are
• 2:15:20
  Speaker 2: we done for today? Is that it? I gotta go
• 2:15:22
  Speaker 2: to Willie Nelson's funeral.
• 2:15:23
  Speaker 11: You've almost killed a couple of kids, right? We've killed
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 11: enough people, I think, today.
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 7: Holy mackerel, we gotta go.
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 2: We should go, though. Oh, my God. Well, we're done.
• 2:15:33

• 2:15:35

  Speaker 2: So I'm never going to be that close. I know.
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 20: I know.
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Willie. We are done for the week, though.
