  Speaker 1: So as you've heard about all morning long, yesterday was
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: the big ceremony, the 2026 class New York State Broadcasters
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. It was an amazing luncheon. My family, friends,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: colleagues were there. Great picture of me on Instagram, sandwiched
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: in between two of the all-time greats, Rosanna Scotto and
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Bill Ritter, who went into the hall with me yesterday.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: And all the people that sent me lovely videos and congratulations.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I saw this yesterday out of nowhere on Twitter. Congrats, Sid.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: So deserved. And who's it from? The man that follows
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: me each and every weekday morning at 10 o'clock here
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: on 77 WABC. Part of that great Fox and Friends
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: trio every morning and his own amazing show. I love it.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: One Nation, 10 p.m. on Fox News, Sunday nights. The
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: great Brian Kilmeade. Brian, thank you so much for that.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: That was so nice.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so the luncheon must have been great. What did
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: it feel like? How did you get along with the
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: other class members? Do you feel like you were the
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: best and the others were, like, runner-up? Do you feel
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: like you were all equal?
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, God, no, no. The class of 2026? Stop that.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Stop that. No, of course I felt like I was
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: the best.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: There were seven of us, and they saved me for
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the very, very end.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: And, again, huge names.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Rosanna Scott, old Bill Ritter, but they did save me
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: for the very, very end. I'll tell you something funny.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Everybody had a video they played before they came up
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: on stage. like three to five minutes, you know? So
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: in my video, I've got President Trump sitting in the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Oval Office for like 95 seconds congratulating me, and then
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the video goes right from President Trump to Bibi Netanyahu
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: in his office in Israel congratulating me. So when I
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: got there yesterday early, one of the members of the
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: board for the Broadcast Association, said, listen, just so you know,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: because you've got Trump and Beebe in your video, we
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: have provided.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Extra security today.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I swear to God, they go, because those two guys
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: who are in your video, they were actually worried There
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: was going to be some type of retribution, maybe some
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: type of attack. I swear to God, Trump and Bibi
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: in a video. They had a meeting the night before
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: for two hours.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: It's incredible. But you know what? They're right. It's crazy.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: New York City. You're right. I mean, look at look
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: at the way this mayor has targeted Bibi. I'm going
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: to arrest him. Well, where do you stand?
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Do you think the mayor is crazy or do you
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: think he's 100 percent right? They're making people make a stand.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: So obviously, we know where you stand. And then all
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, the prime minister says, congratulations.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I'm glad they care. But sadly, they are 100 percent correct.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I know it was nuts and they are right. As
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: it turned out, nobody left. They did stare at me
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: like they wanted me dead. I made the point. I go,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I'm watching you. You all hate me. But thank you
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: for staying. It was very Trumpish. But I do want
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: to talk to you about the mayor. You just brought
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: him up and. I saw something today that I think
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the mayor, if I'm wrong, correct me, you're up on
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: all this, Brian. The mayor has signed how many bills
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: since being in office? One.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: One.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: And they're flowing to his desk, by the way. I mean,
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: they're there. People are coming up with stuff.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: He's not signing them. He's not paying attention. He's cutting
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: TikTok videos. I mean, see, the thing is about the
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: mayor's job. This is why he picked the wrong job.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: You know, you could be in the Senate.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: What do you have to do? Shove for a few votes,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: make a few speeches.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: And then you wait for things to come by and
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: you try to get momentum for policy. Meanwhile, you can
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: do interviews, go on radio shows. No one really knows
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: what you're doing. But as mayor, this is not really
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: a political job. What's going on with the sanitation? What's
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: going on with security? What's going on with the tunnels?
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: What roads do we retard at what point? You know,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: what ceremony should I go to? That's not like a socialism,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: capitalism type thing. I mean, that's like a job you
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: roll up your sleeves. Hey, what's going on with this building?
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: How do we fix this thing? Who do we sell
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: it to? And the thing is, that's not a job
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: for communists or even, you know, it's more capitalists. I
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: thought Bloomberg was built perfectly for it. Like, so it's
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: not fun for him. The fun for him is yelling
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: at Tom Holman. You know, fun for him is going
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: after Netanyahu.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: That's not his job. So the NYPD, well, that's Tish's job.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: You'd stay out of it. You don't have no idea
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: about policing.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: And I think he's getting bored because, you know, the
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: election was a big infusion. He got fame and people
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: ask him to do interviews. When the doors close, you
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: have to do work.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: De Blasio, remember famously, they said that he goes and
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: works out in the morning, would lay on the couch
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: at 11 o'clock with a newspaper over his head.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: So because he's lazy, Giuliani, a workhorse. Bloomberg, an absolute workhorse.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: So then you debate policy.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: But I remember sometimes I'd have to question myself because
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Rudy Giuliani was very critical of George Bush prior to 9-11.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, wait, isn't he a Republican? And I like,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: you know, he liked John McCain.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I'm like, wow, he's taking a place in the, You know,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: he's taking his he's going actually for the challenge of
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: the president because he didn't care because really politics had nothing.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: To do with your job. What's going on with crime?
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Is that a Republican or Democratic thing? You're going to
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: let it go wild. You're just going to lose this
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: whole city. You're going to crack down on it. That's
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: the right thing to do. But I'm telling you, this
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: guy likes getting the job. He does like doing the job.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I think you're right about that. Now, Brian, we're 11
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: days away from the big midterm elections. Let's go Bruce Blakeman.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: He's got some momentum here against Kathy Hochul. But things
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: are getting kind of nasty. I know up in Westchester
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: issues last night. What's going on with Vivek Ramaswamy? J.D.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Vance taking a beating from the girls on The View
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: because he actually defended Ramaswamy, the commercial about the lady
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: he's running against.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: What did you think about all that yesterday? Well, number one,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: what do you think of the ad?
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: If you're Ramaswamy and you're in a neck-and-neck fight and
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: they say the mom came out against the daughter, should
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: we run it?
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: What would you have said?
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Probably the same thing, no?
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, you would have said yes? Would Vivek did? Yeah,
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I got to really think about that. I don't know.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: It did seem a little rough, I guess. I don't know.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Is that what you're saying? Well, I mean, it's the decision.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's what's going on. For example, she's playing this.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: That she was abused as a kid, stayed in an
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: abusive household, stayed in a tent in the backyard as
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: a kid. And that's part of her story. The mom
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: comes out and goes, it's not part of the story.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: She's a liar. She's a chronic liar. So that drops
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: on Vivek Ramaswamy's desk. He didn't solicit it.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: He didn't say, see if the mom doesn't like the daughter.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: That just drops on your desk. So we made the
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: move in a very close race. It's not like he's
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: down by nine, like Watley in North Carolina is down
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: by nine.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: I need a Hail Mary. So he puts it out there.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: You know, the mom looks like she's got a few miles, too.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, so we don't know. I didn't know. At
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: first I thought, does she have Alzheimer's? And then they go, no, no.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: They just think that the mom let the abuse go on.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: And now she's trying to cover for herself. But now
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: we're talking about what happened in her child abuse, not
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Vivek Ramaswamy being so smart and what he would do
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: and everything. And so and this is what she's running.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: He's he's running against somebody that is not a crazy leftist.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: We could like like like El Said. Oh, by the way,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Muslim Brotherhood. No, she does not like that. So it
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: was a risk. a political risk that I guess he
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: felt he had to take. I don't know if he
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: anticipated this type of blowback.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think he did either, because I think if
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: he did, he's a very smart guy, Vivek.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: I like him.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I don't think he would have done it. Talking about
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: New York, of course, Brian, you, like me, you're a
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: big sports guy. You've worked in sports. Part of the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: beauty about all your shows on Fox is you have
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: sports guys on all the time. And I lost a
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: really close friend yesterday, really close friend. Broke my heart.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: former New York Ranger great Ron Duguay. I just spoke
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: to Ronnie about three weeks ago, and I got a
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: text from Sarah Palin, literally, Brian, three days ago, that said, Sid,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: he's hanging in, but he needs prayers. I went to
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the Knick game last week with Bruce Blankman, and Jim
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Dolan did a fundraiser for Bruce, and I actually took
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Jim Dolan to the side, and I said, you know,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Ronnie's real sick, and he may die, and The truth is,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: at this point, the Islanders have given more money to
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Duguay than the Rangers.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Can you guys do something?
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: So my point is, I've been talking a lot about
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Ron Duguay the last couple of weeks, and he died yesterday,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: and it broke my heart.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: I didn't know that. Did not know that. Yeah. And
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: the thing is, here's the weird thing. I have a
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: house in Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra. That's where he lives.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm on the beach two, three years ago.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: And I see this guy, no shirt on, ripped, right?
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: On like a really cheap bicycle, just like going through
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: the deep sand. And I walked over and he came
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: over to me and I knew him just because going
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: to different events, but I wasn't friendly with him.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: And he just starts talking to me. I go, wait,
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: you live here? He goes, yeah, I live here.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: And we just had this great conversation, met him four
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: or five times, different times out. I can't, you know,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: and then he was dating Sarah Palin, saw them out
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: a couple of times. And the greatest guy. And then
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: I heard he was sick, but I'm like, this guy
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: is so healthy. He's going to bounce.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Back for us.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Right, right.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: And he looks so good. So that is sad. You're
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: hitting me. You're shocking me with this.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he looks so.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Even a couple of days ago, he still looked great.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: He was such a good-looking guy, Ronnie. So, 69 years old,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: way too young to die. So, rest in peace.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Ronnie, okay, we're a couple of days away, obviously, from
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: One Nation. Coming up on Sunday night, Brian, at 10 o'clock.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I know the book came out last week. I know
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the book has been doing great. You've done a whole
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: bunch of live shows. Oh, yeah.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Sid, I came in at number five.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: So, I'm thrilled.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: So, five in the country. ahead of Sylvester Stallone. So
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: this is going to create tension between us.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm going to need a new best friend,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: I think. Because, I don't know. He's seven.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Mike Douglas is four. Michael Douglas' book, which is really good, actually.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: But that Octomom... kid is number.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: One, which is crazy. Why do you care about that?
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Nobody does, I know. I guess they do. Right, I know.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: But listen, I'm going to hang in there with it,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: but I just think it is, I hope people love it.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: It's United States, Six Crucial Moments, The Four is the
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: American Miracle. You get an understanding of how great this
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: country is. So and hopefully people continue to like it
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: right through the holidays. But coming up on Sunday show,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Kid Rock is going to be with us. Ben Shapiro
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: is going to.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Be with us.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be interviewing Karl Rove on is this
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: gerrymandering thing working for Republicans?
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: He gets into the technical stuff like nobody else.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: And we also have Raymond Arroyo brings the media. So
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: that's rough. That's roughly our show. So it's it's going
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: to be a big show.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, I got this. People are going to love this.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: You know the detective that got stabbed 10 times and
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: survived by an illegal immigrant?
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Jose Mercedes, yes.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's an exclusive interview with us, along with Scott
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Monroe brought him down.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: I love that guy. Head of the Detectives Association Union.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: And they together told the story how he's just in
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: the back of his car and gets stabbed in broad daylight.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: He didn't know he was bleeding to death through adrenaline.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: He's chasing these guys down. They look down, he's soaked
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: in blood, started losing consciousness. Someone called 911 and basically
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: saved his life. He does not know if he'll be
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: able to straighten out his hand again and even make
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: a fist.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: But he told his story, and he tells it exclusively
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: with us.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: New Yorkers got to listen to this because ICE does
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: not get any cooperation from the NYPD. That's why these
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: illegals are running rampant. They come to our sanctuary cities
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: and they go wild. And we're not allowed, they're not
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: even allowed to even ask what country they're from.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Crazy. And there's the mayor talking about Oscar Belgal, who's
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: a lifelong criminal.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: He's a thug.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: He's a lowlife, but not a word about Jose Mercedes.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: By the way, Kid Rock had that epic dinner with
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: President Trump at the White House last week.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he talks about it.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Right, Stephen A. Smith and Bill Maher, so. It's going
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: to be great. Brian, you're amazing. I love you.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Congratulations. Thank you. A great moment in your history. You
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: earned every second of it. And I had Peter King
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: was on with me.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: And he said, he goes, so I'm on Peter King
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: talking about his book. He goes, I just left Sid.

  Speaker 2: And he took a long, deep breath. I go, uh-oh,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: something must have went wrong. He goes, I love that guy.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's great. And I go, wow. He goes, I
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: really love that guy.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow. That's great.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: That's great. And Peter King's number 10 with his book.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: His book is fantastic.
• 12:16
