• 0:35
  Speaker 3: and recognizable voices in American airwaves. And he's built a smart, loyal,
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: gigantic audience. And I happen to be one of those
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: people in the audience. and I had for a long time,
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: long before I became president.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: To the terror that happened inside of a fly Dubai
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: plane where a co-pilot stabbed another pilot inside the cockpit.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Israeli authorities say he was trying to crash the plane.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: 174 people were on board the flight from Dubai to
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: Tel Aviv, and some of those passengers now being hailed
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: as heroes for taking the suspect down. Alan Devlin is
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: here now with new information.
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: Alan, this story is nothing but shocking.
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: Imagine your pilot stabs your copilot and sends your plane
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: tumbling thousands of feet in the air. That was the
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: reality for the passengers on board that fly-to-buy plane, their
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: lives hanging in the balance as a struggle ensued in
• 1:29
  Speaker 6: the cockpit. What happens next is being called a miracle.
• 1:35
  Speaker 7: A fly-to-buy flight headed to Tel Aviv plummets thousands of
• 1:38
  Speaker 7: feet as chaos erupts in the cabin and the cockpit.
• 1:43
  Speaker 7: Screams echo as according to Israeli officials, the pilot attacked
• 1:46
  Speaker 7: his co-pilot in an attempt to crash the plane.
• 1:49
  Speaker 8: People were, you know, starting to cry and starting to
• 1:54
  Speaker 8: shout and starting to say I love you to their children.
• 1:57
  Speaker 7: After the pilot, Captain Schmidt Machar, was stabbed, Israeli officials
• 2:01
  Speaker 7: say he opened the cockpit door to allow passengers to
• 2:03
  Speaker 7: rush in and.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: Save the aircraft. Whoever is hearing me, we need help,
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: he says.
• 2:09
  Speaker 7: One of those passengers, Asaf Rajan, covered in blood, sent
• 2:12
  Speaker 7: out a video calling for help after apprehending the attacker.
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: All the passengers are okay, but not the pilot. We
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: need help.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: He later spoke to reporters on the ground.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: I didn't think about it.
• 2:22
  Speaker 9: It's something that you.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Do without thinking.
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: Another passenger, Yaniv Hayyan, also jumped in to stop the attack.
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: He had a hero's welcome on the ground in Tel
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: Aviv and was greeted by cheers and Israeli Prime Minister
• 2:35
  Speaker 7: Benjamin Netanyahu.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: I see you.
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: I see a lion, a big hero. A little more
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: than two hours into the flight, the plane suddenly plunged.
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: Preliminary flight data indicates a drop of more than 14,000
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: feet in less than 30 seconds. It climbed again, then
• 2:49
  Speaker 7: dropped once more before finally leveling out. Guided by other
• 2:53
  Speaker 7: fly-to-buy staff on board who took over immediately after one
• 2:56
  Speaker 7: of the passengers. The Israeli defense minister calls Wednesday's events
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: an attempted 9-11-style jihadist terror attack. Deputy Counsel General of
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: Israel in New York, Eyal David, calls it a miracle
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: no one was killed.
• 3:08
  Speaker 10: I spoke earlier today with President Trump, who really was
• 3:10
  Speaker 10: appreciative of this. And he said, you know, when a
• 3:13
  Speaker 10: plane is nosediving, the passengers, including 30 children, are already
• 3:17
  Speaker 10: saying their prayers. I know they're gone from this world.
• 3:20
  Speaker 10: And this young man just acts with... incredible, incredible heroism
• 3:27
  Speaker 10: and saves the day, along with the Indian pilot who
• 3:30
  Speaker 10: was there and the others who came to help. But
• 3:33
  Speaker 10: without his daring do, without his courage, we do face
• 3:41
  Speaker 10: a disaster of unbelievable proportions. So just think about it.
• 3:44
  Speaker 10: I don't know if you're next hijacked. Make sure an
• 3:46
  Speaker 10: Israeli is sitting next to you.
• 3:48
  Speaker 11: I did speak to Bibi Netanyahu at length about this event.
• 3:53
  Speaker 11: And it seems as though the co-pilot was perhaps a
• 3:59
  Speaker 11: terrorist or perhaps a whack job. And he stabbed the pilot.
• 4:06
  Speaker 11: The pilot was in very bad shape. I guess he
• 4:10
  Speaker 11: still is in very bad shape. But he had the
• 4:13
  Speaker 11: sense to, amazing, to, in a way he was a hero,
• 4:17
  Speaker 11: to open the door. You know, those doors are solid steel.
• 4:20
  Speaker 11: You can't get them open from outside. He was able
• 4:23
  Speaker 11: to fall back and get the door open and scream.
• 4:27
  Speaker 11: And a plumber, an Israeli plumber, never flew a plane.
• 4:32
  Speaker 11: He was rarely in planes, very rarely flew. An Israeli
• 4:37
  Speaker 11: plumber saw what was happening and strong, you know, when
• 4:40
  Speaker 11: you lift pipe all day, you're strong. And he saw
• 4:43
  Speaker 11: what was going on and he heard the screaming. He
• 4:46
  Speaker 11: was toward the front where you had security in the back,
• 4:49
  Speaker 11: you know, you had security and you had another flight
• 4:52
  Speaker 11: crew But they didn't have time. The plane was going
• 4:55
  Speaker 11: sharply down at an unbelievable angle, so sharp that the
• 4:58
  Speaker 11: rudder ripped off the back of the plane. The plane
• 5:00
  Speaker 11: wasn't designed to go at a speed anywhere near that.
• 5:04
  Speaker 11: And so it was well beyond its limits. And he
• 5:09
  Speaker 11: ripped with the G-forces as they were. He ripped this
• 5:12
  Speaker 11: guy out of the seat.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Threw him back.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: The crowd got him.
• 5:15
  Speaker 11: The passengers got him, grabbed him. And having never flown
• 5:21
  Speaker 11: a plane, he took the stick, lifted it up, and
• 5:27
  Speaker 11: leveled out the plane before it crashed. Now, this is
• 5:30
  Speaker 11: the story that I heard. I don't know if it's true,
• 5:33
  Speaker 11: but that's the story that I got from Bibi and from.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: A couple of probably early.
• 5:40
  Speaker 11: I don't know if you've heard that story yet.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I think it's an amazing.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: So a plumber never flew a plane. Strong guy. Lift
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: him up, throw him back.
• 5:49
  Speaker 11: The crowd was was they knew they were going to
• 5:53
  Speaker 11: die shortly because the G forces, but they were able
• 5:55
  Speaker 11: to hold him because he was going crazy. That he
• 5:59
  Speaker 11: was crazy.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Mayor Mamdani is defending his plan for combating anti-Semitism in the.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Face of strident criticism from a.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: Number of high-powered Jewish religious and community groups. Political reporter
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Marcia Kramer joins us now with the story.
• 6:12
  Speaker 11: Marcia?
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: Okay, Jay and Jess.
• 6:14
  Speaker 12: When Mayor Mamdani unveiled his plan to combat Jew hatred,
• 6:17
  Speaker 12: he did it with a carefully calibrated video that never
• 6:20
  Speaker 12: mentioned the many times he's attacked Israel and its prime minister.
• 6:24
  Speaker 12: Jewish groups say that that contributes to the rise in
• 6:27
  Speaker 12: anti-Semitic incidents. I asked them about their criticism.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: How do you feel about the.
• 6:32
  Speaker 12: Fact that they're saying that your rhetoric has spanned the
• 6:35
  Speaker 12: flames of anti-Semitism? Because some people, when they hear attacks
• 6:39
  Speaker 12: about Israel or about Zionism, they feel it sort of
• 6:43
  Speaker 12: normalizes the ability to attack Jews. And I wonder if
• 6:47
  Speaker 12: you feel that you need to dial back in order
• 6:50
  Speaker 12: to create a calmer environment in New York City.
• 6:53
  Speaker 13: I think criticism of a prime minister, criticism of government
• 6:57
  Speaker 13: policy is distinct from bigotry of a people. And what
• 7:02
  Speaker 13: my job is to ensure is not only that we
• 7:05
  Speaker 13: are proud of being the most Jewish city in the
• 7:07
  Speaker 13: United States of America. but that we also make this
• 7:09
  Speaker 13: a city where Jewish life can continue to flourish.
• 7:11
  Speaker 12: Mayor Mamdani shrugging off criticism of his strategy for reducing
• 7:15
  Speaker 12: hate crimes against Jews that came from a number of
• 7:17
  Speaker 12: prominent Jewish groups, including the UJA Federation, the Jewish Community
• 7:22
  Speaker 12: Relations Council, and the New York Board of Rabbis. In
• 7:25
  Speaker 12: a joint statement, they said the mayor's plan, quote, fails
• 7:28
  Speaker 12: to address a central issue that the mayor himself has perpetuated,
• 7:33
  Speaker 12: rhetoric that demonizes and delegitimizes Israel inevitably leads to the
• 7:37
  Speaker 12: targeting of Jewish New Yorkers. The mayor, a vocal critic
• 7:41
  Speaker 12: of Israel who has insisted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
• 7:44
  Speaker 12: is a war criminal, says his views have nothing to
• 7:47
  Speaker 12: do with plans to keep New York City's Jewish population safe.
• 7:52
  Speaker 13: You know, when it comes to criticism of the Israeli
• 7:54
  Speaker 13: prime minister or the Israeli government, that has no bearing
• 7:57
  Speaker 13: on our responsibility to keep Jewish New Yorkers safe.
• 8:00
  Speaker 12: Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman also spoke of the mayor's rhetoric.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: He still hasn't denounced global intifada. The whole thing's a joke.
• 8:09
  Speaker 12: Now, the mayor's plan includes security funds for synagogues and
• 8:12
  Speaker 12: Jewish community groups, educational programs about the Holocaust and investments
• 8:17
  Speaker 12: in programs to prevent hate violence before it occurs. He
• 8:21
  Speaker 12: also shrugged off charges that his attacks are anti-Semitic. Yesterday,
• 8:24
  Speaker 12: he celebrated the Jewish harvest festival of Sukkot with Jewish
• 8:28
  Speaker 12: New Yorkers in Crown Heights and Two Gardens Hills.
• 8:31
  Speaker 9: Guys.
• 8:31
  Speaker 11: All right, Marcia.
• 8:32
  Speaker 12: Thank you.
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: Driven deep to right field. Abreu back on the track.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: At the wall. See ya. A home run for Garcia.
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: And the Yankees take a 1-0 lead. He points to
• 8:45
  Speaker 8: the Yankee bullpen as he rounds between first and second.
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: He hits his left wrist with his right hand between
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: second and third. He'll touch third. He will high-five Luis Rojas.
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: And when he touches home plate, the Yankees lead 1-0.
• 9:04
  Speaker 14: It just seemed after the struggles that he had at
• 9:08
  Speaker 14: the end of the season and then he hit his
• 9:10
  Speaker 14: 30th home run, everything seemed to relax for Luis Garcia.
• 9:16
  Speaker 14: Absolute beautiful swing, the swing that we had seen in Washington.
• 9:21
  Speaker 14: One of the big reasons why he's here wearing the pinstripes.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: High fly ball, right field and deep. A brave back.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: He's on the track. He's at the wall.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: He leaps. See ya!
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: A three-run home run for Bellinger.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: And the Yankees have broken it open.
• 9:40
  Speaker 8: Bellinger taking his time as he touches second base.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: He is soaking in. the cheers of the crowd.
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: He's not even at third yet, and he finally touches
• 9:51
  Speaker 8: the bag, headed for home, and that one might have put.
• 9:55
  Speaker 15: The Red Sox to sleep.
• 9:56
  Speaker 8: A big home run by Cody Bellinger.
• 9:59
  Speaker 16: Don't stop believing whether it's the Yankees, who have now
• 10:02
  Speaker 16: won 95 games this year, 93 during the regular season.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: They made very, very easy work of the Boston Red Sox,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: outscoring Boston 18-2. Where are you, Joseph Abood, this morning?
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Where are you? Where are you, Dave Portnoy, this morning,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: all you great Boston folks?
• 10:22
  Speaker 17: 18-2.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: 9-0 when I was there two nights ago.
• 10:26
  Speaker 18: 9-2.
• 10:30
  Speaker 16: When John Katsimatidis and George V and others were there
• 10:34
  Speaker 16: last night, not even a series. Great pitching from Cam Schlittler.
• 10:40
  Speaker 16: And last night, Max Freed. Timely hitting from Ben Rice,
• 10:44
  Speaker 16: mostly in game one. A couple of home runs last night. Obviously,
• 10:48
  Speaker 16: you heard the audio there from Michael K, ESPN Radio.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Both Luis Garcia Jr. and Cody Bellinger going guard.
• 10:57
  Speaker 16: And the Yankees do what they got to do, and
• 10:59
  Speaker 16: now they move on to the big series, the only
• 11:03
  Speaker 16: team in the American League that had a better record
• 11:05
  Speaker 16: than the Yankees, the team that actually beat out the
• 11:08
  Speaker 16: Yankees for AL East supremacy, and that is the 98-win
• 11:14
  Speaker 16: Tampa Bay Rays, and that best of five. Don't forget,
• 11:18
  Speaker 16: this was a best of three. So the Yankees won two,
• 11:21
  Speaker 16: they're moving on. The White Sox won two in Houston.
• 11:24
  Speaker 16: They're moving on. San Diego beat the Cubs twice.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: They're moving on. The only series of.
• 11:30
  Speaker 16: The first four wild card series that is still going
• 11:34
  Speaker 16: on is the Phillies and the Braves. They are knotted
• 11:37
  Speaker 16: at one game apiece, and they'll play the rubber match
• 11:40
  Speaker 16: in Atlanta later on tonight. Otherwise, you take two straight,
• 11:44
  Speaker 16: you move on. This one is now a best of five.
• 11:47
  Speaker 16: Yankees and Rays, and it all starts on Saturday.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: In fact.
• 11:51
  Speaker 16: All three series that were decided yesterday will take place
• 11:56
  Speaker 16: on Saturday with the Yankees taking on the Rays. The
• 11:59
  Speaker 16: first game that day will feature the White Sox in
• 12:03
  Speaker 16: Cleveland taking on the Guardians. And the late game that
• 12:07
  Speaker 16: night will have the Padres at the Brewers. So my
• 12:11
  Speaker 16: guess is the Dodgers and either the Dodgers Braves or
• 12:15
  Speaker 16: Dodgers Phillies will start on Sunday.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Either way.
• 12:21
  Speaker 16: Gnomes, New York Yankees looked great these last couple of days.
• 12:25
  Speaker 19: Yeah, how about Cody Bellinger last night? That was big.
• 12:28
  Speaker 19: Three-run homer. Didn't get much bigger than that. Max Freed.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Well, it gets a little bigger. He hit a grand
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: slam homer.
• 12:33
  Speaker 19: Well, that's the night before.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: That's a four-run homer. Yeah, yeah.
• 12:36
  Speaker 19: But that was big.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: And, yeah, yeah.
• 12:39
  Speaker 20: 6.30 starts? I love that on Saturday night.
• 12:43
  Speaker 16: White Sox at Cleveland at 1, Yankees at Rays at 6.30,
• 12:47
  Speaker 16: Padres and Brewers at 8.30, and maybe the Dodgers will
• 12:50
  Speaker 16: take on the Braves or Phillies at 10 that night.
• 12:53
  Speaker 16: We've got to wait to see who wins that game tonight,
• 12:55
  Speaker 16: but that's usually what they do. They try to get
• 12:57
  Speaker 16: all four games in on the.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Same day, you know? Makes for a very exciting baseball day.
• 13:01
  Speaker 19: Well, and they also don't want to compete with football
• 13:03
  Speaker 19: the following day.
• 13:04
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: That's a big issue. Very, very good.
• 13:06
  Speaker 16: All right, so the baseball taking center stage. The Yankees
• 13:10
  Speaker 16: getting it done in grand style. The Red Sox are
• 13:13
  Speaker 16: not a very good team this year. They had that
• 13:16
  Speaker 16: one amazing run where they won 32 out of 37 games. Literally,
• 13:22
  Speaker 16: the Red Sox went on a stretch. They went 32-5.
• 13:27
  Speaker 16: Hard to believe, but they did that. Otherwise, you know,
• 13:30
  Speaker 16: they were just okay. And the Yankees hammered them, embarrassed them. Again,
• 13:35
  Speaker 16: outscoring Boston 18-2 in that short two-game wild-card series win.
• 13:42
  Speaker 16: So the Bronx Bombers are moving on. But clearly the
• 13:46
  Speaker 16: biggest story of the day, we started the Open with
• 13:48
  Speaker 16: it today, with the actual news story. And then you
• 13:51
  Speaker 16: heard from both Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and President
• 13:56
  Speaker 16: Donald Trump. was this attempted hijacking, attempted terrorist plot by
• 14:04
  Speaker 16: one of the pilots on this fly Dubai airline. Now,
• 14:07
  Speaker 16: yesterday morning, I did this show live in Paramus. at
• 14:11
  Speaker 16: Electronics Expo, Route 17 South. Leon did a great job.
• 14:16
  Speaker 16: It was a fun show. A lot of folks showed up.
• 14:18
  Speaker 16: I think I was the first to actually tell you
• 14:21
  Speaker 16: on the air, 1,000%, that was an attempted terrorist attack.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I think I was the first.
• 14:28
  Speaker 17: No, no?
• 14:28
  Speaker 19: I think you did.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And it turned out to be right.
• 14:31
  Speaker 16: So one of the pilots tried to kill the other
• 14:34
  Speaker 16: one and then was going to crash this Dubai jet
• 14:38
  Speaker 16: somewhere into Israel.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know. where exactly he was looking to crash.
• 14:42
  Speaker 16: I do know that Fly Dubai has now suspended flights
• 14:48
  Speaker 16: to and from Israel. So if you're trying to get
• 14:51
  Speaker 16: to Israel from Dubai this morning, it ain't going to
• 14:53
  Speaker 16: happen on Fly Dubai. But the goal was to overtake
• 14:59
  Speaker 16: the pilot, kill the pilot, and crash the plane, much
• 15:03
  Speaker 16: like we saw on 9-11. This was a mirror of
• 15:07
  Speaker 16: the 9-11 attacks. But much like those heroic passengers on
• 15:13
  Speaker 16: United Flight 93, which unfortunately had a tragic ending. That
• 15:19
  Speaker 16: plane crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and everybody died.
• 15:24
  Speaker 16: These passengers were able to subdue the bad guy, and
• 15:30
  Speaker 16: one of the guys on the plane was actually able
• 15:32
  Speaker 16: to land the plane.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: In Saudi Arabia. So, a very similar story.
• 15:38
  Speaker 16: Blueprint to what happened on 9-11, but thank God these
• 15:43
  Speaker 16: passengers were able to subdue the bad guy, three of
• 15:47
  Speaker 16: them in particular. One guy, an Indian guy, is able
• 15:49
  Speaker 16: to land the plane. This is like a movie, but
• 15:53
  Speaker 16: it really did happen. Alex Trayman will join us live
• 15:56
  Speaker 16: from Jerusalem in about 35 minutes, but, Noam, you couldn't.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Write that story, could you?
• 16:01
  Speaker 20: No, you couldn't, especially the fact that the hero was
• 16:04
  Speaker 20: this plumber who took down this pilot, was able to
• 16:07
  Speaker 20: grab him. And then take at least according to the
• 16:10
  Speaker 20: president said that he took control of the flight and
• 16:13
  Speaker 20: then leveled out the plane. And then there was a
• 16:16
  Speaker 20: secondary crew apparently aboard the flight. And they were the
• 16:18
  Speaker 20: ones who ended up landing it in Saudi Arabia. But yesterday,
• 16:22
  Speaker 20: this plumber, he was already at Bibi Netanyahu's house in Jerusalem.
• 16:26
  Speaker 20: So they were celebrating him yesterday. At least I think
• 16:29
  Speaker 20: that's where the celebration took place. He showed up in
• 16:31
  Speaker 20: his blood covered T-shirt. The prime minister thanking him for
• 16:36
  Speaker 20: being a hero. for everything he did for helping subdue
• 16:39
  Speaker 20: the pilot. But what is interesting is you keep calling
• 16:42
  Speaker 20: him a terrorist, but it is interesting that the Israelis
• 16:46
  Speaker 20: and the Americans have yet to say that. They're unsure
• 16:48
  Speaker 20: if he's just a crazed individual who wanted to crash
• 16:51
  Speaker 20: a plane, had some.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Mental health issues. Don't do this. Don't do this. No,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: but– No, no, no, no.
• 16:55
  Speaker 18: Wait.
• 16:55
  Speaker 16: When you're looking to crash a plane in Israel, you're
• 16:58
  Speaker 16: a terrorist. But I don't play these games.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Even B.P.
• 17:00
  Speaker 19: Netanyahu was not calling.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Him that yesterday. I don't play these games. I don't
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: do it. So you don't do it.
• 17:06
  Speaker 20: Well, but here's the issue, and this is why they
• 17:08
  Speaker 20: may be hesitating to finally come up with a conclusion
• 17:11
  Speaker 20: on here, is if he ends up being that it
• 17:14
  Speaker 20: was a terrorist and there was a terrorist plot, that's
• 17:17
  Speaker 20: on the Israelis, because the Israelis are in charge of
• 17:21
  Speaker 20: the planes that fly in and out of Israel. They
• 17:23
  Speaker 20: handle all that security. So then you start to question
• 17:25
  Speaker 20: what's going on. How was a pilot able to get
• 17:27
  Speaker 20: on board who was going to crash a plane?
• 17:30
  Speaker 19: Now, if he's a madman, then you can say, okay,
• 17:31
  Speaker 19: he was just a.
• 17:32
  Speaker 20: Madman, and there was no way we could possibly know
• 17:35
  Speaker 20: Wait a second.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: This guy wasn't working on El Al.
• 17:38
  Speaker 20: It doesn't matter if he's not working on El Al.
• 17:40
  Speaker 20: The Israelis are in charge of security of any planes
• 17:44
  Speaker 20: that fly in and out of Israel. They don't let
• 17:45
  Speaker 20: anybody else handle that security.
• 17:48
  Speaker 16: There's no way they could have stopped this guy getting
• 17:51
  Speaker 16: a job in Dubai for an airline.
• 17:53
  Speaker 13: How do they stop him?
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: How do they know?
• 17:54
  Speaker 21: Right.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: How do you stop him?
• 17:55
  Speaker 19: That's what I'm saying.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about?
• 17:57
  Speaker 20: No, you're not listening to me. If it's a mental
• 17:59
  Speaker 20: health issue... They probably listen.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Listen, listen. When you want to crash a plane, hold on.
• 18:03
  Speaker 16: When you want to crash a plane into a building,
• 18:07
  Speaker 16: there is 1000% a mental health issue.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: So let's just put that to the side. Okay. The
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: guy is clearly crazy. No, Muhammad Atta was crazy.
• 18:16
  Speaker 16: But this guy is still going to crash a plane
• 18:19
  Speaker 16: in Israel, not just any country around the world, but
• 18:23
  Speaker 16: one country that is the terrorist dream Israel. He wants
• 18:28
  Speaker 16: to crash a plane there. And you're telling me that
• 18:31
  Speaker 16: that's just coincidence? He's just some crazy guy?
• 18:34
  Speaker 19: No, I'm not saying that.
• 18:35
  Speaker 20: But I'm saying then there's a problem that this guy
• 18:37
  Speaker 20: was able to be in the country. Yes, of course
• 18:39
  Speaker 20: there is. The Israelis, you know, they will tell you
• 18:43
  Speaker 20: that El Al, right, is one of the most secure
• 18:45
  Speaker 20: airlines that you can fly in.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: It is the most secure airline.
• 18:47
  Speaker 20: But they also, a lot of these airlines, they have
• 18:49
  Speaker 20: Israelis handling their security whenever they fly, have planes that
• 18:52
  Speaker 20: fly in and out of Israel. The Israelis want to
• 18:56
  Speaker 20: know who's flying in, right? They want to know who's
• 18:58
  Speaker 20: at the controls. They want to know who the.
• 18:59
  Speaker 19: Passengers are on that plane because they're so at risk.
• 19:03
  Speaker 20: And so if there's a problem, if this guy somehow
• 19:05
  Speaker 20: is able, if he truly ends up being a terrorist,
• 19:08
  Speaker 20: who was inspired or paid for or was part of
• 19:12
  Speaker 20: a terrorist organization, that's a problem.
• 19:13
  Speaker 16: No, if he's got no ties to other terrorists, okay?
• 19:17
  Speaker 16: And he was radicalized online.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Who knows? Who knows?
• 19:20
  Speaker 16: And he decided one day, here's my opportunity to crash
• 19:23
  Speaker 16: a plane in Israel.
• 19:24
  Speaker 9: That's not Israel's fault.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Okay? Now, if you're telling me this guy had ties
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: to a bunch of terrorists and ISIS and Al-Qaeda. We
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 19:31
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 19:32
  Speaker 16: But if this guy is just some lone wolf who decided,
• 19:35
  Speaker 16: I'm going to make a name for myself here, then
• 19:38
  Speaker 16: it's not Israel's fault.
• 19:39
  Speaker 19: We don't know any of this.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, but no matter what, it was a terrorist attempt.
• 19:43
  Speaker 16: Now, yes, you've got to find out the rest of
• 19:45
  Speaker 16: the details, but don't talk to me like the New
• 19:47
  Speaker 16: York Times does.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Don't do that.
• 19:50
  Speaker 19: People want to know that information.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: You don't crash planes in Israel. Unless you're a terrorist.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 19:57
  Speaker 16: So now the rest of the information, to your point, yes,
• 20:00
  Speaker 16: that becomes maybe an issue. If this guy was having
• 20:03
  Speaker 16: discussions online, if this guy had.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Meetings, yes.
• 20:06
  Speaker 19: And they didn't know about it?
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: That becomes an issue.
• 20:09
  Speaker 16: But if he's just some lone wolf madman who wanted
• 20:12
  Speaker 16: to make a name for himself, but it doesn't matter.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Either way, it was a terrorist attack.
• 20:16
  Speaker 16: Either way, this guy was looking to kill Israelis on
• 20:21
  Speaker 16: the ground.
• 20:22
  Speaker 20: With an airplane i don't know i just know that
• 20:23
  Speaker 20: i want getting on a plane i want to know
• 20:25
  Speaker 20: that the pilots have been vetted and they know everything
• 20:27
  Speaker 20: about they may have.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Been vetted so what that doesn't mean this guy can't
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: be crazy and not say anything i.
• 20:32
  Speaker 19: Am asking a fair question that's all i'm saying.
• 20:34
  Speaker 16: No it's not fair because you sound like the new
• 20:38
  Speaker 16: york times no i'm not.
• 20:39
  Speaker 20: The new york times i'm a guy who gets on
• 20:41
  Speaker 20: planes i want to know that the pilot's not a crazy.
• 20:43
  Speaker 16: But you don't know you just don't know there was
• 20:45
  Speaker 16: a guy a couple years ago for example that actually
• 20:48
  Speaker 16: locked the pilot.
• 20:49
  Speaker 19: Right, I remember all that.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, and he crashed into a mountain and killed 300 people.
• 20:53
  Speaker 16: Nobody knew that morning this guy was crazy or he
• 20:55
  Speaker 16: was going to do that.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: So what are you talking about? We don't know if
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: it's a terrorist attack. No, he wanted to crash a
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: plane in Israel because, I don't know, he was having
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: a bad day. Of course it was a terrorist attack.
• 21:06
  Speaker 19: Okay, so then that's a problem. If he's a terrorist,
• 21:08
  Speaker 19: they should have.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Known about it.
• 21:09
  Speaker 16: It's only a problem if there was some other, if
• 21:13
  Speaker 16: he left behind some type of trail, then it's a problem.
• 21:17
  Speaker 20: Right, what if we find out that his family is
• 21:19
  Speaker 20: going to be rewarded and he knew all that before.
• 21:22
  Speaker 19: He crashed the plane?
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Then it's a problem.
• 21:23
  Speaker 19: Okay, so that's what I'm asking.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: The only thing that you started with was we don't
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: know it was a terrorist attack.
• 21:28
  Speaker 16: That's dumb. It was a terrorist attack. Now your question
• 21:31
  Speaker 16: after that is fair. But right now you can't take
• 21:34
  Speaker 16: Israel to task. We know nothing about this guy. He
• 21:36
  Speaker 16: could have been just some guy who decided to do this.
• 21:39
  Speaker 16: And we will talk to Alex Treyman about that. But
• 21:41
  Speaker 16: don't tell me. Maybe Alex has more information.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: This wasn't a terrorist attack. Of course it was.
• 21:45
  Speaker 20: That sounded like Bob Donahue. I'm asking you, I think,
• 21:48
  Speaker 20: what's a good question that people want to know the
• 21:49
  Speaker 20: answer to.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 21:50
  Speaker 16: If, in fact, we find out this guy had some blueprint.
• 21:55
  Speaker 16: Then fine, you're making a fair point. But don't tell
• 21:58
  Speaker 16: me it wasn't a terrorist attack because we don't know
• 22:01
  Speaker 16: what this guy was thinking about or doing before yesterday morning.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: We know one thing. He wanted to kill Israelis. We
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: know that. He tried to kill the pilot and crash
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: the plane in Israel. We know that.
• 22:15
  Speaker 19: We don't know that, though.
• 22:16
  Speaker 20: He may have just had some wacky death wish, and
• 22:18
  Speaker 20: he wanted to take a lot of people with him.
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: And it happened to be Israelis.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: It happened to be Israelis. Okay. The one country that's
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: a subject of more terrorist attacks.
• 22:27
  Speaker 19: I just told me another guy flew a plane and
• 22:29
  Speaker 19: killed 300 people. That wasn't Israelis.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 22:32
  Speaker 19: You're right.
• 22:33
  Speaker 16: This might be just some lunatic. No, when it's Israel,
• 22:36
  Speaker 16: the subject of the most... Planned terrorist attacks of any
• 22:40
  Speaker 16: country outside the United States.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: That's not a coincidence. OK, that's not a coincidence.
• 22:45
  Speaker 19: Let's find out.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Let's find out. But there's no question that was a
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: terrorist attack. OK, that's it.
• 22:50
  Speaker 16: Now the question becomes, has the mayor said anything about
• 22:55
  Speaker 16: this potential disaster?
• 22:58
  Speaker 19: Mayor Mamdani?
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Yes. I don't think so.
• 23:01
  Speaker 16: Well, but isn't he trying to convince everybody here that
• 23:03
  Speaker 16: he's not an anti-Semite?
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: He cares about the Jewish people?
• 23:05
  Speaker 19: Well, that's a whole different story.
• 23:06
  Speaker 20: He's not going to convince the Jewish community that he's
• 23:08
  Speaker 20: not an anti-Semite.
• 23:10
  Speaker 19: I was talking to people yesterday.
• 23:11
  Speaker 16: But don't you think that would be in the mayor's
• 23:13
  Speaker 16: best interest to come out and say the day after
• 23:15
  Speaker 16: his video, which, of course, I'm joking, you know, because
• 23:19
  Speaker 16: we all know he's a raging anti-Semite.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: That video is garbage.
• 23:22
  Speaker 16: I don't care how much Marshall Kramer respects him or
• 23:26
  Speaker 16: Katie Honan or... or Melissa Russo. He's a raging anti-Semite.
• 23:30
  Speaker 16: He hates the Jews.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: He's a bad guy.
• 23:33
  Speaker 16: But in his attempt to continue to fool people across
• 23:36
  Speaker 16: the city, why wouldn't he come out and say, wow,
• 23:39
  Speaker 16: you know what, thank God that those brave Israelis... did
• 23:43
  Speaker 16: what they did yesterday, and we don't want to see
• 23:45
  Speaker 16: anybody die, but what a great job by those brave Israelis.
• 23:48
  Speaker 16: You know how far that would go with people like me?
• 23:51
  Speaker 16: I know he's got the Satmar community.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: They're a joke.
• 23:55
  Speaker 16: I know the Lubavitch and the Chabad put this guy
• 23:58
  Speaker 16: in their Sukkot the last couple of days.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: That's a joke. There's a lot of Sid Rosenbergs out there, okay?
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: How do I know?
• 24:04
  Speaker 16: Because people love me in this city. Every day, all
• 24:08
  Speaker 16: day long, I get stopped and I get thanked. I
• 24:10
  Speaker 16: get thanked for my voice. So there's a lot of
• 24:13
  Speaker 16: Sid Rosenbergs out there. It wouldn't kill Mamdani to try
• 24:16
  Speaker 16: to appease people like me and saying something about these
• 24:20
  Speaker 16: heroic Israelis on that flight yesterday couldn't hurt him, could it?
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: No. Well, why won't he do it?
• 24:27
  Speaker 19: I think at this point he realizes... He has.
• 24:29
  Speaker 20: Made so many mistakes with the Jewish community. There's nothing
• 24:32
  Speaker 20: he can do to make inroads. I was out for
• 24:34
  Speaker 20: dinner last night with some people I would describe as
• 24:37
  Speaker 20: very liberal Jews. And so you would think that crowd
• 24:40
  Speaker 20: would have taken his comments about anti-Semitism and what he
• 24:43
  Speaker 20: wants to do to fight back against it and say, oh, okay.
• 24:46
  Speaker 20: And they would say there's some inroads. They're willing to
• 24:49
  Speaker 20: give him a chance. They weren't willing to give him
• 24:51
  Speaker 20: a chance.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: They didn't fight either.
• 24:52
  Speaker 20: No, they said he's already told us who he was.
• 24:55
  Speaker 20: And they all pointed to his wife and they said,
• 24:58
  Speaker 20: And the comments or the likes that she did after
• 25:00
  Speaker 20: October 7th of these horrendous pictures in the aftermath of
• 25:04
  Speaker 20: the October 7th attacks, and they said, you know, he's
• 25:07
  Speaker 20: sleeping with that woman.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: He's still married to her. Right, not only sleeps with her. Yeah.
• 25:11
  Speaker 16: But when they asked him about her months and months ago,
• 25:13
  Speaker 16: all he talked about was what a wonderful woman she is.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: She's not a wonderful woman. She's disgusting.
• 25:20
  Speaker 16: On every level, your skank wife is disgusting. Print that,
• 25:24
  Speaker 16: Marsha Kramer. Put that on CBS. Sid Rosenberg called the
• 25:28
  Speaker 16: mayor's wife a skank. Do it five times a day.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: I don't care.
• 25:31
  Speaker 20: And the comments that came out from some of these
• 25:35
  Speaker 20: organizations like the Jewish Community Relations Council, these are hardly
• 25:38
  Speaker 20: conservative groups, right?
• 25:40
  Speaker 19: They lean left.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 25:42
  Speaker 20: So if anybody's going to give the mayor a chance
• 25:44
  Speaker 20: after he made those comments about anti-Semitism, it would be
• 25:47
  Speaker 20: those groups. And they actually all got together to put
• 25:50
  Speaker 20: out a statement to say that it was totally BS.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: That was good to see.
• 25:54
  Speaker 16: See, the question going back to the airline for me
• 25:56
  Speaker 16: is not whether or.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Not it was a terrorist attack. It was OK. Bottom line.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: You raise an interesting point in that.
• 26:02
  Speaker 16: Was this guy just some whack job yesterday morning or
• 26:05
  Speaker 16: did he have some the lead behind some. some information
• 26:10
  Speaker 16: that lends us to believe it was a bigger deal
• 26:12
  Speaker 16: than that. But I think Corey Zelnick, my great friend,
• 26:16
  Speaker 16: the real estate mogul here in New York.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: City, has the best question of all.
• 26:19
  Speaker 19: What's that?
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: How did the co-pilot get a knife on the plane?
• 26:26
  Speaker 19: Well, could it just have been the knife from the
• 26:28
  Speaker 19: steak that they were serving.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: On the plane? Yeah, maybe, I guess. But isn't it
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: usually plastic silverware? I don't know. I've never gotten a
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: real knife.
• 26:34
  Speaker 19: First class, it's not.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that guy was butchered, the pilot. I mean,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: that would be a pretty good knife.
• 26:40
  Speaker 19: You know, maybe the security is not as tight for
• 26:43
  Speaker 19: the pilots as.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: It is for the passengers. That's what I was thinking.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 26:47
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Now you've got a problem. Right.
• 26:49
  Speaker 16: That's a bigger problem is that if you're a pilot
• 26:51
  Speaker 16: and you don't really get screened when you're going onto
• 26:53
  Speaker 16: an airplane, that's a bigger problem.
• 26:56
  Speaker 15: No, the door is open now for pilots. a whole
• 26:59
  Speaker 15: bunch of other scenarios to be concerned about. You're going
• 27:03
  Speaker 15: to have to go through a whole process. Not only
• 27:06
  Speaker 15: just the passengers are going to go there, it's going
• 27:08
  Speaker 15: to be longer. Now the employees are going to go
• 27:11
  Speaker 15: through this process.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Well, we've got to make sure that's the case.
• 27:13
  Speaker 16: So I know, for example, there's a couple of pilots
• 27:16
  Speaker 16: who listen to me every day from JetBlue. You guys
• 27:18
  Speaker 16: remember when I flew my family to Florida a couple
• 27:21
  Speaker 16: of months ago? And the pilot on JetBlue gave me
• 27:24
  Speaker 16: a shout-out on the plane. You remember that, guys?
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: So if you're listening right now, send me a message.
• 27:30
  Speaker 16: We want to know if pilots or employees have different
• 27:35
  Speaker 16: screening than the actual passengers. Because if that was a
• 27:40
  Speaker 16: real knife that that pilot had on the plane, how
• 27:45
  Speaker 16: does that happen?
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: It's a fair question, no?
• 27:47
  Speaker 15: Well, if there's anybody who could get a weapon or
• 27:50
  Speaker 15: a knife... through security at an airport, it's somebody who
• 27:54
  Speaker 15: already works.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: At the airport. Right.
• 27:57
  Speaker 22: Right.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: So we've got to find that out.
• 27:59
  Speaker 15: Who's a pilot who knows how to get onto his
• 28:01
  Speaker 15: plane and do something covert?
• 28:04
  Speaker 10: True.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, duh.
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 28:06
  Speaker 16: So there are three stories in and around this mayor today.
• 28:10
  Speaker 16: One we covered yesterday, Noam, which was excellent job by
• 28:13
  Speaker 16: Randy Mastro, who did join me on this show yesterday morning.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: The mayor now has to redo... His whole Pierre de
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Terre tax.
• 28:22
  Speaker 16: And on top of that, Randy Mastro, the rollout at least,
• 28:26
  Speaker 16: Randy Mastro says, now I'm not done.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: First it was the rollout.
• 28:30
  Speaker 16: Now I want this thing to go bye-bye completely, which
• 28:33
  Speaker 16: would be amazing.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Look at this.
• 28:35
  Speaker 16: Andrew Cuomo buys $ 9 million Hamptons estate.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo, $ 9.
• 28:44
  Speaker 16: Million Hamptons estate. Then you want to know why people
• 28:48
  Speaker 16: like John Esteen want to kill this bastard. What a
• 28:51
  Speaker 16: life this guy's living, huh?
• 28:52
  Speaker 15: After this election, too.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on.
• 28:54
  Speaker 15: Does that look great?
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: No. Right, exactly. Talking about Mom Donnie. So you got that.
• 29:00
  Speaker 16: Then now, I believe today, there are about just under
• 29:04
  Speaker 16: a million apartments here in New York City. And that
• 29:08
  Speaker 16: rent freeze, which Randy Mastro is also fighting because it
• 29:13
  Speaker 16: is horrible for the landlords. Landlords can't get higher rents,
• 29:18
  Speaker 16: therefore they can't fix the buildings, and all Mamdani does
• 29:21
  Speaker 16: is criticize the landlords. Well, moron, how are these landlords
• 29:25
  Speaker 16: going to make it better if they can't get higher rents?
• 29:29
  Speaker 16: So about a million apartments today, they start their rent freeze.
• 29:33
  Speaker 16: That represents, I think, about 40% of all.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: The apartments in New York City. So that is the...
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: second story.
• 29:41
  Speaker 16: And then, of course, you've got the anti-Semitism that he's
• 29:45
  Speaker 16: trying to combat, which the video came out just two
• 29:48
  Speaker 16: days ago.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: So those are three pretty big stories and, I guess,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: pretty big programs that are all attached to Mayor Mamdani.
• 29:58
  Speaker 16: But here's the biggest one of all. And this is
• 30:00
  Speaker 16: why Laura Loomer is coming on at 9.40 this morning.
• 30:03
  Speaker 16: You can talk till you're blue in the face.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: You are not going to convince me that Mamdani's not
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: a terrorist. He is.
• 30:11
  Speaker 16: He's got ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. He's got ties,
• 30:16
  Speaker 16: and the FBI will tell you this. The FBI will
• 30:19
  Speaker 16: tell you this, and Laura Loomer will tell you this,
• 30:21
  Speaker 16: coming up at 9.40. He's got ties.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: To terrorist groups, co-conspirators of the World Trade Center bombing.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: He's a bad guy. He's funny with Hassan Piker.
• 30:32
  Speaker 16: He's funny with Mahmoud Khalil, who said just a couple
• 30:35
  Speaker 16: of days ago that he will not denounce Hamas. He
• 30:39
  Speaker 16: will not denounce Hamas because really what Hamas is is
• 30:44
  Speaker 16: a litmus test.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Did you hear that?
• 30:46
  Speaker 10: No.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: I did. That is his best buddy.
• 30:49
  Speaker 16: That is the mayor's best buddy and his wife you
• 30:52
  Speaker 16: talked about. So don't tell me the mayor is not
• 30:54
  Speaker 16: a despicable human being. Well, for some reason, it took
• 30:58
  Speaker 16: nine months, but I think you know this, he finally.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Received the security clearance.
• 31:05
  Speaker 16: He is now able to get all of the information,
• 31:09
  Speaker 16: any possible terrorist attack, all the stuff. that the CIA sees,
• 31:14
  Speaker 16: that the FBI sees, that President Trump sees, that Marco
• 31:18
  Speaker 16: Rubio sees, that Pete Hegseth sees.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Now the mayor gets all that information. Someone has to
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: explain to me.
• 31:27
  Speaker 16: And I know he's the mayor, and there's your answer.
• 31:29
  Speaker 16: But why in a million years would you give national
• 31:33
  Speaker 16: security clearance, which is 1,000%, 1,000% a national security risk,
• 31:42
  Speaker 16: To a terrorist.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Can you explain that one to me?
• 31:44
  Speaker 19: Well, because he's the mayor of the biggest city in America.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: He's a terrorist.
• 31:49
  Speaker 19: That may be true. No more but.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: He's a terrorist.
• 31:52
  Speaker 19: Well, look, the people who are giving him the clearance,
• 31:55
  Speaker 19: he has to go through a lot.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this. Let me ask you this.
• 31:59
  Speaker 22: No, he doesn't.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: There's one guy. There's one guy. And I love this
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: guy more than anybody else.
• 32:04
  Speaker 16: But are you going to tell me that it was
• 32:06
  Speaker 16: coincidence that President Trump was at Gracie Mansion nine days ago?
• 32:11
  Speaker 12: Nine.
• 32:12
  Speaker 16: And after nine months of not getting it, now Mom
• 32:15
  Speaker 16: Donnie got what he wanted.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: More than anything, the security clearance. One guy. Nine days
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: after Trump was at Gracie Mansion. And I love President Trump.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: There's your answer right there.
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 32:25
  Speaker 19: Well, the most important guy was the one who gave
• 32:27
  Speaker 19: him the clearance.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 32:28
  Speaker 16: And I continue to ask, what in God's name is
• 32:32
  Speaker 16: my guy doing? And I ask it at the risk
• 32:35
  Speaker 16: of him being pissed at me. But I got to
• 32:37
  Speaker 16: tell you, I still love him. I still think he's
• 32:40
  Speaker 16: the best president ever. I don't care if he's pissed.
• 32:44
  Speaker 16: I don't care. There's no way you're telling me that
• 32:46
  Speaker 16: nine days later, nine days later, It's a coincidence that
• 32:51
  Speaker 16: after waiting nine months, the mayor gets national security clearance,
• 32:56
  Speaker 16: and this guy now will be privy to information that
• 33:01
  Speaker 16: only our top security agencies have information to. You're telling
• 33:07
  Speaker 16: me that's a coincidence?
• 33:08
  Speaker 19: No, it's probably not.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: What is that all about? Can somebody tell me, please?
• 33:12
  Speaker 22: Somebody?
• 33:13
  Speaker 19: Well, he's your friend. Tell us what it's all about.
• 33:15
  Speaker 16: He won't answer me. You're on this show. No, you've
• 33:18
  Speaker 16: heard me time and time again. Ask him about Mom Donnie.
• 33:21
  Speaker 16: Preface other questions by telling him how much I hate
• 33:24
  Speaker 16: Mom Donnie.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: He doesn't address it. He just moves right past it.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: What is that all about? I mean, what is your theory,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: at least? No.
• 33:33
  Speaker 20: Well, I think what Lara told you is that he
• 33:36
  Speaker 20: just loves New York and that's bigger than anything and
• 33:38
  Speaker 20: that He can look past the fact.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Well, he loves New York. Why would he give a
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: terrorist information on how to blow it up? I don't understand.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: What am I missing here?
• 33:48
  Speaker 20: You know, I think Lara has it right. His love
• 33:50
  Speaker 20: for New York is bigger than what he thinks.
• 33:53
  Speaker 19: About a socialist mayor. And so he isn't.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Going to do anything. You really think it's that easy?
• 33:58
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: I do, actually.
• 33:59
  Speaker 16: I hope you're right. I hope you're right. I don't
• 34:01
  Speaker 16: think it's that easy. I have my own theories, and
• 34:03
  Speaker 16: I won't share them because I love President Trump.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: But I hope you're right.
• 34:07
  Speaker 19: What's your own theory?
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: I just told you I'm not going to share it.
• 34:10
  Speaker 19: Like one of your theories.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: I have a couple. Give us one. Not even one.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Not even one.
• 34:16
  Speaker 22: Come on.
• 34:16
  Speaker 19: How bad could it be? Just give us one.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: It's not horrible.
• 34:19
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 34:19
  Speaker 19: So tell us one.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, although, again, I think if it was Trump.
• 34:23
  Speaker 16: Or anybody who made this decision yesterday or the day before,
• 34:27
  Speaker 16: whenever it was, you don't sell out the nation's security
• 34:33
  Speaker 16: because the guy won an election in a dumb town
• 34:36
  Speaker 16: that we live in.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Stupid town. Give this guy information. It's incredible.
• 34:43
  Speaker 16: It's hard to believe. I mean, these are what my
• 34:45
  Speaker 16: days are like now, getting messages. People ask, by the way,
• 34:49
  Speaker 16: what I'm asking you this morning, Noam, I got asked,
• 34:52
  Speaker 16: take a guess how many times yesterday.
• 34:54
  Speaker 19: I can't even imagine.
• 34:55
  Speaker 22: Right?
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Sidney, how could this be?
• 34:57
  Speaker 16: Why would we give this mayor that type of clearance?
• 35:01
  Speaker 16: He's in bed with all these terrorist organizations. The FBI
• 35:05
  Speaker 16: knows it. Marco Rubio knows it. Who cares what the
• 35:08
  Speaker 16: people in New York think they know?
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: They know nothing. Marsha Kramer knows nothing. Okay? Nice lady.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: I've met her on occasion here. Nice lady. She knows nothing.
• 35:20
  Speaker 16: The first time she does a hard interview, somebody let
• 35:24
  Speaker 16: me know, okay? No one can understand what the hell
• 35:28
  Speaker 16: is going on here. And this answer all the time,
• 35:32
  Speaker 16: why is he down at the memorial?
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: He's the mayor.
• 35:36
  Speaker 16: Why does he get clearance national security clearance he's the
• 35:40
  Speaker 16: mayor that's your answer to everything he's the mayor he's
• 35:44
  Speaker 16: the mayor well i'm tired of that answer okay because
• 35:49
  Speaker 16: he's done things in the past and continues to do
• 35:52
  Speaker 16: things now who cares if he's the mayor he's defending
• 35:56
  Speaker 16: mahmoud khalil still the same guy that would not condemn
• 36:01
  Speaker 16: hamas two days ago because he called this terrorist group
• 36:06
  Speaker 16: which butchered 1,300 Israelis, quote, a litmus test.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: That's unbelievable, though, no?
• 36:13
  Speaker 20: Yeah, well, look, the same guy who apparently green-lighted him
• 36:17
  Speaker 20: getting that information is the same guy who could have
• 36:20
  Speaker 20: blocked him from getting it, and he decided not to.
• 36:23
  Speaker 16: National security clearance for Mamdani. If that is not a
• 36:29
  Speaker 16: threat to national security, I mean.
• 36:33
  Speaker 16: Could you just imagine Mamdani gets... A note, possible terror attack.
• 36:40
  Speaker 16: They're going to blow up the George Washington Bridge. You
• 36:43
  Speaker 16: know what he'll do next, right? He will crumple the
• 36:46
  Speaker 16: paper up and throw it into the wastebasket. You think
• 36:50
  Speaker 16: he's actually going to do something, be proactive to stop
• 36:53
  Speaker 16: a terrorist attack in New York City?
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Are you that naive and that stupid? I guess you are.
• 37:00
  Speaker 16: I guess I'm surrounded, known by naive and stupid people.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: And I'm not one of them. So Laura Loomer will
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: join me at 940.
• 37:09
  Speaker 16: We'll talk about this. I'm going to ask as many
• 37:13
  Speaker 16: people as they possibly can about this.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: How do you give this guy? You want to argue
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: about whether he's.
• 37:18
  Speaker 16: A terrorist or not? He's got terrorist ties. His buddies
• 37:22
  Speaker 16: are terrorists. You're going to give this guy national security clearance.
• 37:27
  Speaker 20: Well, let me make you feel a little bit better
• 37:28
  Speaker 20: about it. Is this same security clearance that he's getting?
• 37:32
  Speaker 20: So is the NYPD commissioner.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's terrible. She should get it.
• 37:36
  Speaker 19: Right, but I'm saying that I assume she has the
• 37:39
  Speaker 19: same clearance.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: She does.
• 37:40
  Speaker 19: Okay, so she's going to see the same information that
• 37:43
  Speaker 19: he's seeing every day.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Right, so she may stop it.
• 37:44
  Speaker 16: But the point is, why should he get the same
• 37:46
  Speaker 16: information as our wonderful Jewish police commissioner?
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: This guy. I think it's a bad, bad deal. So
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: I texted Marco Rubio. And, of course, he's probably annoyed. Oh, God,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: now watch, Sid. They're all annoyed by me, I know,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: because lately I don't text a lot of nice stuff in.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: I said, Marco, WTF? This is a bad idea. He
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: has not gotten back to me yet.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised, yeah.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he will.
• 38:13
  Speaker 19: Did you do the WTF to the president as well?
• 38:16
  Speaker 17: I did.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 38:17
  Speaker 16: The president right now at this point probably hates my guts.
• 38:19
  Speaker 16: I swear to God.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, he must.
• 38:21
  Speaker 19: But he's not like that. He'll argue with you and
• 38:23
  Speaker 19: he'll still be your buddy.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: I would think so. I would hope so.
• 38:26
  Speaker 19: Well, we've seen that. He's done that dozens if not
• 38:29
  Speaker 19: hundreds of times.
• 38:29
  Speaker 16: Yeah, but we haven't talked now since, when was the
• 38:32
  Speaker 16: last time? It's been about a month, maybe four or
• 38:35
  Speaker 16: five weeks. And now I'm about ten unanswered texts in.
• 38:40
  Speaker 19: Is that the most that it's been?
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much.
• 38:43
  Speaker 16: And ever since that meeting with Gracie last Monday, he
• 38:46
  Speaker 16: has seen, I'm sure, countless, countless texts. pieces where I
• 38:53
  Speaker 16: was critical of him. Now, I also sent them a
• 38:56
  Speaker 16: text that said, Mr. President, you know, Fox, they're no good.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: I agree with you.
• 39:02
  Speaker 16: The president yesterday on Truth Social put out a post.
• 39:07
  Speaker 16: He hammered Fox News.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Did you see that?
• 39:09
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: And I said, good for you. You know, Mr.
• 39:12
  Speaker 16: President, I'm banned on Fox News for nonsense and They
• 39:16
  Speaker 16: fired our friend Maria Bartiromo. So that is a kumbaya
• 39:20
  Speaker 16: moment for me and Trump.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: You know that, okay?
• 39:23
  Speaker 16: And I thank them, of course, for the Protect College
• 39:26
  Speaker 16: Sports Act. And in every message I send, them, I
• 39:30
  Speaker 16: tell them, you're the greatest ever, everyone. But I have
• 39:34
  Speaker 16: sent a bunch of texts lately saying I'm not happy
• 39:38
  Speaker 16: about something. And this one yesterday, the National Security Clearance
• 39:43
  Speaker 16: nearly knocked me off my chair.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. What else
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: is going on?
• 39:49
  Speaker 19: Well, you know, I will point out he's busy. You know,
• 39:51
  Speaker 19: he's got the midterms at four weeks away.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're all busy. Everybody's busy.
• 39:56
  Speaker 11: I know.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: Everybody's so busy.
• 39:57
  Speaker 19: He is the leader of the free world.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 40:00
  Speaker 19: He doesn't get back to you. You shouldn't be offended.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 40:07
  Speaker 19: So just think of it that way.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 40:08
  Speaker 19: Thank you for that.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: I feel better now. Yeah.
• 40:12
  Speaker 20: There was just horror last night on a J train.
• 40:16
  Speaker 20: This was at the Woodhaven Boulevard station in Queens last night.
• 40:20
  Speaker 20: A passenger stabbed another one to death. And you just
• 40:23
  Speaker 20: saw there's all kinds of video of these riders just
• 40:27
  Speaker 20: racing out of the train station. It was right at
• 40:29
  Speaker 20: the height of the evening rush. It's not 100% clear
• 40:33
  Speaker 20: what this was all about. They say there was some
• 40:35
  Speaker 20: sort of heated argument, and this 25-year-old then stabbed this
• 40:39
  Speaker 20: 59-year-old rider to death. Now, the good news is they
• 40:41
  Speaker 20: have the 25-year-old in custody, but we don't have any
• 40:44
  Speaker 20: news about what was behind the attack, what the motive was.
• 40:49
  Speaker 20: We're hearing from the school safety union, and they say
• 40:53
  Speaker 20: so far, here we are.
• 40:54
  Speaker 19: We're not even four weeks into the school year.
• 40:56
  Speaker 20: Right, because they started the Labor Day was late this year.
• 41:00
  Speaker 20: And there's already been seven guns that they've taken away
• 41:03
  Speaker 20: from students at schools this year. So the good news
• 41:06
  Speaker 20: is they took the guns away before anything happened. But
• 41:09
  Speaker 20: the bad news is that so many kids seem to
• 41:11
  Speaker 20: be bringing guns to class. And so far, some of
• 41:15
  Speaker 20: these schools where the guns were taken away, they do
• 41:17
  Speaker 20: not have metal detectors. And so the school safety union saying, hey,
• 41:21
  Speaker 20: if a gun has gotten past, we found it in
• 41:24
  Speaker 20: someone's backpack or we were alerted to it somehow. Maybe
• 41:27
  Speaker 20: it's just a good idea. that there should be these
• 41:30
  Speaker 20: metal detectors at all the schools across the city to
• 41:32
  Speaker 20: keep these kids safe. If you have them at the airports,
• 41:34
  Speaker 20: why don't they have them at the schools? So that
• 41:37
  Speaker 20: was from the school safety union. And this is just
• 41:40
  Speaker 20: this awful story out of Harlem. I don't know if
• 41:42
  Speaker 20: you saw this. So there's this guy waiting for his
• 41:45
  Speaker 20: food outside a restaurant on Park Avenue on 116th Street
• 41:49
  Speaker 20: on Monday. And somebody comes up from behind him, and
• 41:52
  Speaker 20: there's video of this, and he's holding like a huge
• 41:55
  Speaker 20: pot that you would cook spaghetti in. And he pours
• 41:58
  Speaker 20: it over this guy's head. And all of a sudden,
• 42:01
  Speaker 20: this guy's face starts to burn. And he realizes it's
• 42:04
  Speaker 20: like acid. They don't even 100% know what it was.
• 42:07
  Speaker 20: But it burns the side of his face. It burns
• 42:10
  Speaker 20: his neck. It burns his ear. This guy runs away.
• 42:13
  Speaker 20: He runs into this restaurant, Craven Krispy, where he was
• 42:16
  Speaker 20: waiting for food.
• 42:18
  Speaker 19: And he's just screaming in pain.
• 42:21
  Speaker 20: They don't know who this guy is, the guy who
• 42:24
  Speaker 20: the victim says, I don't know anybody that.
• 42:25
  Speaker 19: Has a beef against me.
• 42:27
  Speaker 20: It's so bad that he's going to have a skin
• 42:29
  Speaker 20: graft procedure, and he's unsure whether he's ever going to
• 42:33
  Speaker 20: look the same. That's how bad the burns are. Now,
• 42:35
  Speaker 20: the one piece of good news is the doctors say
• 42:38
  Speaker 20: he could have gotten you in the eyes, and you
• 42:39
  Speaker 20: might have been blinded.
• 42:40
  Speaker 11: Sure.
• 42:41
  Speaker 20: But so far, they have not found the dope who
• 42:43
  Speaker 20: was behind this. But you have to see, it's so sinister,
• 42:47
  Speaker 20: this video of the guy coming up right behind him.
• 42:49
  Speaker 20: It looks like he's carrying a pot of spaghetti, and
• 42:52
  Speaker 20: then he spores it over this guy's head.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: Now, where was this again?
• 42:54
  Speaker 19: This was in Harlem.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Harlem, okay.
• 42:56
  Speaker 16: All right, Norm, we've got a huge guest that's coming
• 42:58
  Speaker 16: up today. We'll go live to Israel. We'll get the latest,
• 43:01
  Speaker 16: what they're saying there about this.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to say it. Potential terrorist, it was
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: a terrorist attack.
• 43:06
  Speaker 16: Potential tragedy over the skies of Israel yesterday. Alex Trayman, MrJNS.org,
• 43:13
  Speaker 16: he will join us again live from Jerusalem coming up.

  Speaker 16: Scott Singer, he was the mayor of Boca Raton, Florida.
• 43:21
  Speaker 16: Great guy. Now he's running for Congress down in Boca.
• 43:26
  Speaker 16: We'll talk to Scott Singer, Republican. He was standing next
• 43:29
  Speaker 16: to me, Noam, at the White House on night three
• 43:32
  Speaker 16: of Hanukkah when President Trump called me, Mark Levine, and
• 43:36
  Speaker 16: Liz Pipko up on stage.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: So Scott Singer will join us.
• 43:40
  Speaker 16: The great Congressman Peter King, usually here Wednesdays, but he's
• 43:43
  Speaker 16: here this morning. We'll also talk to Ron Johnson. My
• 43:48
  Speaker 16: favorite senator out of the great state of Wisconsin. His
• 43:51
  Speaker 16: Milwaukee Brewers will take on the San Diego Padres in
• 43:54
  Speaker 16: a best of five starting on Saturday. Laura Loomer is
• 43:57
  Speaker 16: going to be here. She is quickly becoming one of
• 44:00
  Speaker 16: my favorites, if not my favorite.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: I love her.
• 44:03
  Speaker 16: And she's out there every day on Twitter telling the
• 44:06
  Speaker 16: truth about radical Islam, Muslims, Mamdani. She was the one
• 44:11
  Speaker 16: who tipped me off on this national.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Security clearance yesterday. So Laura Loomer will join us. And
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: the big one.
• 44:18
  Speaker 16: Imus, back on WABC, not Wyatt, making her first visit
• 44:24
  Speaker 16: in a long, long time. Deirdre Imus, she's got a

  Speaker 16: big art show coming up, I believe in Soho. She
• 44:31
  Speaker 16: will make her first appearance on Sid and Friends in
• 44:33
  Speaker 16: the morning, and she's coming up at.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: About 8.50 this morning. Huge guest list, big Thursday. What
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: do you want to be? No reason to be anyplace else.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: Next four hours, keep it right here, Sid and Friends
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: in the morning.
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: Sid and Friends.
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: In the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 44:54
  Speaker 16: That communist channel, New York One Spectrum, led by the fat, stupid, black,
• 45:02
  Speaker 16: racist Errol Lewis. And I know I got very descriptive there,
• 45:06
  Speaker 16: but that's what they do, so that's what I do.
• 45:08
  Speaker 16: I get very descriptive. But I met a gentleman last
• 45:12
  Speaker 16: night at this Caroline Schinkel fundraiser that I hosted.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: Who's actually a good guy. I don't know if you
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: know him. His name is... I think it's Dan Rivoli. Yeah, sure.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: I know Dan. How do you say his last name exactly?
• 45:26
  Speaker 19: That's right.
• 45:27
  Speaker 17: That's right.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Rivoli, right? What a super guy. Nice guy. Fair.
• 45:31
  Speaker 16: And he may go back to those studios and say
• 45:33
  Speaker 16: to Errol, man, that guy says a jerk off.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 45:37
  Speaker 16: But he's always very nice to me. And he's the
• 45:39
  Speaker 16: only person... I believe last night was the third time
• 45:44
  Speaker 16: where Dan at New York One reached out to me.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: to do an on-air interview.
• 45:49
  Speaker 16: No one else at New York One comes anywhere near me.
• 45:52
  Speaker 11: Why?
• 45:53
  Speaker 16: Because Errol Lewis sits there with Mamdani, tells him how
• 45:56
  Speaker 16: great he is, walks the streets, perving on AOC, tells
• 46:01
  Speaker 16: her how great she is.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: That's Lewis. That's most of that channel.
• 46:06
  Speaker 16: But Dan, for whatever reason, seems to be very fair,
• 46:09
  Speaker 16: and he did interview me last night as I was
• 46:12
  Speaker 16: walking into Dorian's, and I want to get into that
• 46:15
  Speaker 16: night's In a couple of minutes, it was a great
• 46:17
  Speaker 16: night last night, and Caroline Schenkel is lovely. But you notice,
• 46:22
  Speaker 16: Lou and Noam, that occasionally now, I come to work,
• 46:26
  Speaker 16: I'm not wearing one of my beautiful sport coats I
• 46:29
  Speaker 16: buy at the garage, Anthony, in Brooklyn, or some other
• 46:33
  Speaker 16: clothing I get from old Joseph Abboud stuff to stuff
• 46:37
  Speaker 16: I buy at Taylor Bird here in the city. Last week,
• 46:40
  Speaker 16: I wore sweatpants and a One Israel Fund Israel sweatshirt.
• 46:45
  Speaker 16: And people who saw that daily video on Instagram said,
• 46:49
  Speaker 16: I like to dress down Sid. So today I come
• 46:53
  Speaker 16: to work wearing black sweatpants and a shirt that I
• 46:57
  Speaker 16: absolutely love. I bought it at the University of Pennsylvania
• 47:02
  Speaker 16: when we dropped off Ava a couple of weeks ago.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: You pen dad. How cool does that know?
• 47:09
  Speaker 19: That is cool.
• 47:10
  Speaker 20: You know, I dropped off one of my kids at
• 47:12
  Speaker 20: school in August and And so I said, let me
• 47:15
  Speaker 20: go to the store and buy a sweatshirt.
• 47:18
  Speaker 19: I couldn't believe how expensive a school... I think it
• 47:21
  Speaker 19: was $ 100 for the school sweatshirt.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: That's what the sweatshirt was, $ 100.
• 47:24
  Speaker 16: And I bought a t-shirt for $ 40, which has that
• 47:26
  Speaker 16: red crimson pen color.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: But I walked around that bookstore like I was... In Vegas.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: I loved it. And Daniela's like, stop. I go, D,
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: you've got to buy a shirt.
• 47:39
  Speaker 19: It's an Ivy League school. It's the University of Pennsylvania.
• 47:41
  Speaker 19: Of course you've got to buy all that stuff.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: Third highest ranked law school in the country. You're proud.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: And my kid is going there. It's huge. Yes. So
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: I wear this sweatshirt a lot. First time wearing it
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: at work is today. But you, Penn, Dad, that's me.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: I was already proud of her for doing all that
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: great work at Cardiff University.
• 48:00
  Speaker 16: In Wales, in the United Kingdom. But this is a
• 48:03
  Speaker 16: big one. So Ava, I am wearing your Penn Daddy
• 48:07
  Speaker 16: sweatshirt today. She always asks me, Dad, you wear that
• 48:10
  Speaker 16: a lot? I go, I wear it all the time.
• 48:12
  Speaker 16: So it's going to be somewhere on air today. Usually
• 48:14
  Speaker 16: they'll take two or three interviews that I do and
• 48:17
  Speaker 16: they put up Instagram clips so you can see what.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: I'm wearing that day. So today, you Penn Dad sweatshirt.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: I'm very proud.

  Speaker 21: Sid and friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 50:57
  Speaker 21: Podcast Network.
• 50:59
  Speaker 10: I spoke earlier today with President Trump, who really was
• 51:01
  Speaker 10: appreciative of this. And he said, you know, when a
• 51:04
  Speaker 10: plane is nosediving, the passengers, including 30 children, are already
• 51:08
  Speaker 10: saying their prayers. I know they're gone from this world.
• 51:11
  Speaker 10: And this young man just acts with... incredible, incredible heroism
• 51:18
  Speaker 10: and saves the day, along with the Indian pilot who
• 51:21
  Speaker 10: was there and the others who came to help. But
• 51:24
  Speaker 10: without his daring do, without his courage, we'd have faced
• 51:32
  Speaker 10: a disaster of unbelievable proportions. So just think about it.
• 51:35
  Speaker 10: I don't know if you're next hijacked. Make sure an
• 51:37
  Speaker 10: Israeli is sitting next to you.
• 51:39
  Speaker 16: He said, in terms of flights in the United States...
• 51:44
  Speaker 16: The pilots are screened at select U.S. airports using biometric screening.
• 51:51
  Speaker 16: He says, you know, there's also a sea map, I guess,
• 51:54
  Speaker 16: they go through.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: He goes, but when it.
• 51:56
  Speaker 16: Comes to international flights, he says the pilots go through
• 52:00
  Speaker 16: the same screening as the passengers. I can only assume,
• 52:05
  Speaker 16: Greco says, that the crew departing from Dubai had to
• 52:09
  Speaker 16: go through the same screening as the passengers in And
• 52:14
  Speaker 16: that was a question posed by my friend Corey Zelnick
• 52:17
  Speaker 16: about getting a knife on the plane.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: Now, planes have knives. They serve food.
• 52:21
  Speaker 16: But the knives that I've seen are not the type
• 52:24
  Speaker 16: of knives that do the damage that we saw with
• 52:28
  Speaker 16: the pilot on this plane yesterday. Now, I believe the
• 52:32
  Speaker 16: plane was over Jordan on its way to Israel. And
• 52:36
  Speaker 16: the consensus is that this pilot wanted to crash the
• 52:40
  Speaker 16: plane in Israel and killing the mostly Jewish passengers on
• 52:45
  Speaker 16: board and Israelis on the ground. We're going to talk
• 52:48
  Speaker 16: right now to the news information source in Israel, my
• 52:53
  Speaker 16: dear friend, the CEO of JNS.org, now been on this
• 52:57
  Speaker 16: show over 200 times since October 7th of 2023, the
• 53:05
  Speaker 16: great Alex Treiman.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: Alex, good morning, buddy. How are you?
• 53:08
  Speaker 22: Good morning, Sid. How are you doing?
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: I'm doing well.
• 53:11
  Speaker 16: So it looks like we averted a massive tragedy in
• 53:14
  Speaker 16: Israel yesterday. I'm just curious because I had this conversation
• 53:18
  Speaker 16: back and forth this morning. In my mind, there's no
• 53:20
  Speaker 16: doubt this was a terrorist attack. Are you guys in
• 53:24
  Speaker 16: Israel still trying to figure out whether that was the
• 53:26
  Speaker 16: case or not?
• 53:28
  Speaker 17: Well, Israel is definitely trying to figure out exactly who
• 53:31
  Speaker 17: was behind this. Israeli intelligence agents are working together with
• 53:36
  Speaker 17: Saudi authorities to interrogate the perpetrator of this attack, figure
• 53:42
  Speaker 17: out exactly who was behind it. But they are treating
• 53:44
  Speaker 17: this like a terror hijacking incident. And it comes just
• 53:48
  Speaker 17: a few days after a foiled Iranian terror plot at
• 53:52
  Speaker 17: an air base in the United Kingdom.
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: That's right, just a couple of days after that.
• 53:57
  Speaker 16: So you watch Radiant like it's a potential terrorist attack.
• 54:01
  Speaker 16: The pilot that inflicted the damage and wanted to crash
• 54:05
  Speaker 16: the plane, he's from.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: Iran, yes?
• 54:09
  Speaker 5: He's from Oman.
• 54:11
  Speaker 17: And actually, it's basically a violation of the Abraham Accords
• 54:15
  Speaker 17: deals and this route that Dubai has because they're only
• 54:20
  Speaker 17: supposed to use pilots from Abraham Accords or friendly countries,
• 54:24
  Speaker 17: and Oman certainly is not a country that has normalized
• 54:28
  Speaker 17: relations with Israel.
• 54:30
  Speaker 16: So somebody was telling me this morning that part of
• 54:34
  Speaker 16: the blame may fall on Israel because— and I said, wait
• 54:38
  Speaker 16: a second— This wasn't El Al, okay?
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: They don't know every pilot for every airline. They go, no,
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: they don't.
• 54:44
  Speaker 16: You know, if you're flying into Israel, the onus is
• 54:47
  Speaker 16: on Israel to know every pilot, every passenger. So if
• 54:51
  Speaker 16: it turns out that this guy's got some blueprint or some,
• 54:56
  Speaker 16: you know, footprints, I should say, and had discussions or
• 54:59
  Speaker 16: there was some history that he may try something like this,
• 55:03
  Speaker 16: Could this fall on Israel? Could I have people around
• 55:07
  Speaker 16: me telling me this was Israel's fault?
• 55:10
  Speaker 17: Well, certainly everybody wants to blame Israel for everything that
• 55:13
  Speaker 17: happens in the world. There are flights that are coming
• 55:17
  Speaker 17: from airlines all over the world that land in Tel Aviv.
• 55:22
  Speaker 17: You don't have the same kind of controls that you
• 55:24
  Speaker 17: have if El Al was flying.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: That's the point I made this morning, right.
• 55:30
  Speaker 17: LL stopped flying that route, by the way. LL was
• 55:33
  Speaker 17: flying to Dubai and since March hasn't been flying because
• 55:36
  Speaker 17: of security threats. But Israel did allow the fly Dubai
• 55:41
  Speaker 17: routes and Emirates Airways to be flying back and forth.
• 55:47
  Speaker 17: And Israel, I think, was generally appreciative. that this route
• 55:50
  Speaker 17: was still open. And as you see, many Israelis are
• 55:52
  Speaker 17: flying this route right now, just looking for either places
• 55:55
  Speaker 17: to go or for places that they can use as
• 55:58
  Speaker 17: a transit hub onto wherever else they're going into the east.
• 56:02
  Speaker 16: So you sound like you agree with me, but El Al,
• 56:04
  Speaker 16: that's a different story. You got a guy with terrorist
• 56:07
  Speaker 16: aspirations flying El Al, but one of these other airlines, very,
• 56:12
  Speaker 16: very hard to blame Israel, even if there was some
• 56:16
  Speaker 16: history with this guy, very hard to blame Israel, yes
• 56:19
  Speaker 16: or no?
• 56:20
  Speaker 17: Well, you'd think that Israel would know who the pilots
• 56:23
  Speaker 17: of the plane are, and basic screening should happen. But
• 56:27
  Speaker 17: as we see, sometimes you can have the best intelligence
• 56:30
  Speaker 17: in the world, and you can be warning of plots.
• 56:32
  Speaker 17: As Prime Minister Netanyahu said, that Israel had warned the
• 56:37
  Speaker 17: British about the plot at the Air Force Base in
• 56:40
  Speaker 17: the UK a couple weeks back. And still, sometimes things
• 56:45
  Speaker 17: can get through. Even the best intelligence has clearly happened here.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: One hundred percent.
• 56:49
  Speaker 22: All right.
• 56:50
  Speaker 16: So let's get to actually what happened on the plane
• 56:53
  Speaker 16: and what you think the pilot's intentions were. You know,
• 56:58
  Speaker 16: you go back to 9-11 and very similarly, United Flight
• 57:03
  Speaker 16: 93 ended up crashing in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania,
• 57:06
  Speaker 16: because the passengers, very heroic people. We know some of
• 57:11
  Speaker 16: the names, guys like Todd Beamer. We played the song earlier.
• 57:14
  Speaker 16: Neil Young wrote for that called Let's Roll. And those
• 57:17
  Speaker 16: passengers tried to save the day, but they couldn't.
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: They couldn't. In this case, very similar fashion, these heroic
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: passengers stormed the cockpit, and they did save the day.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: Give us the actual details on what happened on this
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: flight yesterday.
• 57:35
  Speaker 17: Well, as we mentioned, there was an Omani co-pilot on
• 57:38
  Speaker 17: the plane. There was a pilot from India who was
• 57:42
  Speaker 17: the pilot of the plane, and the Omani co-pilot started
• 57:47
  Speaker 17: stabbing repeatedly the pilot, the primary pilot from India.
• 57:52
  Speaker 16: Now, as he was stabbing him, can you confirm or deny,
• 57:56
  Speaker 16: because I was told this too by a very smart
• 57:58
  Speaker 16: person with intel, As he.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: Was stabbing the pilot, was he yelling, Allah Akbar? I
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: heard he was.
• 58:06
  Speaker 17: The reports are that he was yelling, Allah Akbar, and
• 58:09
  Speaker 17: also saying some kind of prayer that people say before
• 58:14
  Speaker 17: they become a shaheed, before they become a martyr. These
• 58:17
  Speaker 17: are the reports. Obviously, it was not in the cockpit.
• 58:21
  Speaker 17: We're just checking the reports that were being heard. And
• 58:24
  Speaker 17: the pilot from India, he sent multiple distress symbols. the 7,500
• 58:31
  Speaker 17: distress signal, and then also the 7,700 distress signal, which
• 58:36
  Speaker 17: indicates hijacking. And I think that the greatest thing that
• 58:42
  Speaker 17: this Indian pilot was able to do even as he
• 58:45
  Speaker 17: was being stabbed, was to open the door of the
• 58:48
  Speaker 17: cockpit because it's very, very difficult for anybody to get
• 58:52
  Speaker 17: into a cockpit. These doors are designed to prevent hijackers
• 58:56
  Speaker 17: from getting into the cockpit, which is why for a
• 58:58
  Speaker 17: hijacking to be successful like this, the hijacker had to
• 59:01
  Speaker 17: already be in the cockpit, which was the co-pilot. So
• 59:04
  Speaker 17: he got that door open, and people heard the screaming,
• 59:07
  Speaker 17: and several Israelis actually charged the cockpit. Obviously, it was
• 59:11
  Speaker 17: a flight going to Israel, so there were many Israelis
• 59:13
  Speaker 17: on board the flight, primarily Israelis. And they managed to
• 59:19
  Speaker 17: subdue the co-pilot, and one of them actually pulled on
• 59:24
  Speaker 17: the stick during the freefall, and was able to somehow
• 59:29
  Speaker 17: or another just pull it back and get the plane
• 59:32
  Speaker 17: to sort of balance out. I think that the great fortune,
• 59:35
  Speaker 17: when you talk about the Flight 93 crashing, I don't
• 59:39
  Speaker 17: know that this plane would have been able to avoid
• 59:42
  Speaker 17: crashing if it wasn't for the fact that there was
• 59:44
  Speaker 17: a backup crew on the back of the plane. There
• 59:48
  Speaker 17: were pilots sitting in the back. And so they also
• 59:50
  Speaker 17: got up to the front and they were able to
• 59:53
  Speaker 17: get inside the cockpit and actually stabilize this plane and
• 59:56
  Speaker 17: land it, which is also miraculous because the plane did
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 17: suffer damage during its freefall nosedive. And they still managed
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 17: to be able to stabilize that plane and get it
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 17: safely down at an airport inside Saudi Arabia.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: Remarkable. Yeah, they lost the rudder. I mean, the plane
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: actually dropped. This is unbelievable. 14,000 feet. You ready for this?
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: In 30 seconds. These poor people must have thought they'd
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: be dead in minutes. And they were. They were yelling.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 16: They were screaming. Some were davening. Some were telling their children,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 16: I love you. You know, it's just horrible. And like
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 16: you said, thank God for the other crew in the
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 16: back of the plane. And the hero of this story,
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 16: I guess, turns out to be a plumber.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: Is that right?
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 17: Yeah, Naif Ayoun, an Israeli plumber who stormed the cockpit.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 17: I think he suffered some superficial injuries as well. And
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 17: he first managed to get that pilot out, like choke-holded
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 17: him and got him out of the cockpit. And then
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 17: he said that he had been watching one of these
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 17: air disaster video series. He watched that, and he just
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 17: instinctively knew that he should try to pull out on
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 17: that flight stick and pull it up and see if
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 17: the plane would respond to that. And that's what happened.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 16: And I love B.B. Netanyahu so much. It's no secret.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 16: I want to see him speak at the U.N. I
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 16: defend him all day, every day. I just sent a
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 16: message to Ophir Pork. I said, he was on with
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 16: Hannity last night. He's about to go on with Kill
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 16: Me This Morning. I'm not even going to bother you, okay?
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 7: But.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: We are less than.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 16: A week away now from the third commemoration of October 7th,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 16: and that's the day he needs to.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: Be on with me, okay? Not Hannity, not Kilmeade with me.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 16: They can have him today. This is a huge story,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 16: no doubt about it. But I want the prime minister
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 16: coming up in a couple of days. I do want
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 16: to get to that day, but before we do, the
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 16: prime minister making sure he was there.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: To greet these heroes. What a great scene that was, right?
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 17: Oh, absolutely. And in addition to that, President Herzog has
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 17: announced that he wants to bestow presidential medals of honor
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 17: on four of the Israelis who were involved in getting
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 17: that pilot subdued and out of the cockpit. So there
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 17: was many Israelis.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: It wasn't just one.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 17: There were at least four Israelis that were.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 22: Part of this.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 17: And I think that that's really the Israeli way. Israelis
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 17: are trained as part of their military training, but Even
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 17: aside from those in military training, they don't run from
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 17: the scene. They actually run toward the scene. That's what
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 17: Israelis do when there's a problem, when there's an injury,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 17: when there's an attack, when there's a fire. Israelis run
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 17: toward it. And that's the reason why they were able to,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 17: in a moment's notice, you know, rescue the flight. I
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 17: think it had been 30 seconds more before they were
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 17: able to get that pilot out of the cockpit and
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 17: try to stabilize the flight trajectory. You know, I don't
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 17: think that the plane would have made it.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 16: And we have no idea where this guy wanted to
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 16: crash the plane, right?
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 17: We don't know yet. Yeah, we don't know if he
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 17: just wanted to simply take it down wherever he was
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 17: or if he wanted to cross into Israeli airspace. you know,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 17: and crash it onto the ground or whether he wanted
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 17: to crash it into a tower in Tel Aviv and
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 17: replicate a September 11th-style attack. We actually crashed into a building.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 17: These are the types of things that the Israeli intelligence,
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 17: the Mossad, is going to be actively working to figure out,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 17: together with the Saudi intelligence authorities, whether this was a
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 17: lone wolf, whether there was a deeper plan, other terror
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 17: operatives that were part of this. Again, the question of
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 17: who got that knife on board. You know, whether that
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 17: was the pilot, whether somebody else had smuggled it on.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 17: These are all questions that Israel is going to have
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 17: to try to answer in the next coming days.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 16: And next coming days, today is October the 1st. So
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 16: we are just six days away, Alex. We just commemorated
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 16: 25 years of 9-11 here in New York City a
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 16: couple of weeks ago. Now, you guys, your 9-11 was
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 16: October the 7th. You guys are coming up on three
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 16: years in six days. So I'll ask you what I
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 16: ask a lot of the New York politicians in and
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 16: around 9-11. Does it feel like three years, or does
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 16: it feel like yesterday?
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: Well, I'd say.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 17: We've been in a time warp, and it's kind of
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 17: like the second time warp because we had COVID, and
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 17: then the feeling was we were just coming out of
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 17: COVID during the Sukkot Festival, which we're in now, right
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 17: before October 7th. October 7th was the last day of
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 17: our festival, and it was the first time three years
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 17: ago that tourists were finally back in the country, and
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 17: the feeling was finally Israel's back after this horrific event. period,
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 17: time warp, which was COVID. And then sure enough, just
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 17: a few days later, we get into this next time warp.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 17: We all thought that this was going to be an
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 17: operation that might have lasted several weeks, you know, as
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 17: previous operations had, that some deal would have been cut
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 17: very quickly. You know, we hope to get back all
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 17: the hostages. But as we saw, the war opened up
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 17: on multiple fronts. And we're three years later, but we're
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 17: still fighting. Yes, we're not in the same type of
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 17: active military operations as we were at certain points during
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 17: this war. But Israel this week, you know, continues to
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 17: strike at Hamas commanders in the Gaza Strip. This week,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 17: Israel continues to strike at terror positions inside southern Lebanon,
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 17: which are held by Hezbollah. And I think most every
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 17: Israeli recognizes that the war, the direct war between Israel
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 17: and Iran, which is the overall state sponsor of all
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 17: these terror operatives and organizations across the Middle East, that
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 17: that war is not finished. And we hear President Trump
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 17: talking about how after the midterm elections, that he's going
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 17: to have to make a decision. The Iranians are going
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 17: to have to make a decision. I think every Israeli
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 17: believes that there's going to be a return to kinetic
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 17: warfare between the United States, Israel, and Iran.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: That's what I believe.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 16: Well, listen, an amazing day again for the Israelis, showing
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 16: the world how resilient and courageous they are. Just an unbelievable,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 16: remarkable story. The epitome of heroism. All these passengers, mostly Israeli,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 16: on that flight yesterday. Always great to speak with you, Alex.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 16: We'll talk again, obviously, in six days. 43-year commemoration.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: Stay safe. I love you guys. We'll do it again soon.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: Great job this morning. Thank you so much.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 17: Thank you, Sid. Great to be with you.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: God bless you.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 16: Alex Trayman right there, the G, I should say. He's
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 16: the man at JNS.org, the CEO. You want information on Israel,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 16: whether it's this flight yesterday, like he talked about, ongoing
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 16: military activity in Gaza or Lebanon. The only place to go.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 16: The only place to go is JNS.org. We'll take a
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 16: short break. Still more great guests to stop by today.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 16: It's a big-time show. Scott Singer, Peter King, Ron Johnson,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 16: Laura Loomer, and her first time on this show today,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 16: Deirdre Imus. All that on the Thursday edition of Sid
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 16: and Friends.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 21: Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 21: Podcast Network.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 16: He will debate Tom DiNapoli on New York One. later
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 16: on tonight. In the next two weeks, there are three
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 16: debates on New York One. Tonight, Hernandez and an Apolipa controller.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 16: A week from tonight, Sarita, I like her a lot,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 16: taking on Letitia James for Attorney General. And 12 days
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 16: from today, you get Bruce Blakeman and Kathy Hochul. But
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 16: it's also no secret that I am really impressed with
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 16: one specific congressional candidate, and her name is Caroline Schenkel.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 16: I say no to a lot of people.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: I say yes to a bunch, but I say no
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: to a lot. This lady to me represents exactly what
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: the party needs. She's smart. Let's start right there. And
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: when it comes to money, she's got banking experience in America,
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: in Europe, in Israel.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 16: She's all about law and order, safety up there on
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 16: the Upper East Side. Her opponent, Michael Lasher, doesn't care
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 16: much about law and order. He's part of a group
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 16: that wants to defund the police. He doesn't care about Israel. Clearly,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 16: he's not about protecting the Jewish people. So on just about,
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 16: not just about, on every policy, Caroline Schenkel should murder
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 16: Michael Lasher. But the problem is, you got morons in
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 16: New York. A lot of morons, especially on the Upper
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 16: East Side.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: And these horrible people, and they are horrible, continue to
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: win elections. No more proof than Mayor Mamdani. What a loser.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: What a loser.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 11: So.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 16: She's in a tough battle. Most Republicans lose here. But
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 16: I really feel like she can win. So last night
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 16: we had a fundraiser at Dorian's. Same place we held
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 16: Hernandez's fundraiser.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: Upper East Side, 84th and 2nd.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 16: And she was great. Her and her mother Carolyn were
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 16: both great. Met Carolyn's husband. Pretty good guy, too, Robert.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 11: Dr.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: Naomi Wolf was there. She's terrific.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 16: Holocaust survivor Sammy Steigman. Abraham Hamra. My buddy Chavez Kestenbaum.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 16: Allison Devlin. You also had Sophia, One Way Sophia. It
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 16: was a great crowd. District 12, once again, Schinkel taking
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 16: on Michael Lasher. Even my cousin, Norm Coleman, called in.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 16: He doesn't live anywhere near New York City, but he's
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 16: aware of how impressive Schinkel is. So if you live
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 16: on the Upper East Side and you really want to
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 16: save it, it used to be amazing.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: It's not anymore.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 9: It's not.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 16: It's still great, but it's not amazing. Not by a
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 16: long stretch. You want to bring it back to the
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 16: good old days. Make sure you vote for Caroline Schenkel
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 16: come November. Talking about congressional races, a good friend of
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 16: mine recently was the mayor of a place that I
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 16: lived at for 16 years. You guys know I lived
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 16: in Boca Raton, Florida for 16 years. And I may
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 16: end up back there one day. I love it so much.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 16: Scott Singer was the mayor, but now... Much like Caroline Schenkel,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 16: he's running for Congress down in Florida. And with that said,
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 16: he's about to make his first appearance on Sid and Friends.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 21: Sid and Friends in the morning on the Red Apple
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 21: Podcast Network.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 16: Zeb Brenner makes a very good point. That District 12
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 16: that Schenkel is running in also encompasses the West Side,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 16: not just the Upper East. So you got the east
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 16: side and the west side, like my friend Scott Singer. Now,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 16: I met Singer at the White House back on Hanukkah.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 16: He was standing right there when President Trump called me
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 16: up on stage.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: Huge honor.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 16: Called me up, Mark Levin, Miriam Adelson, Liz Pipko, night
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 16: three of Hanukkah. And I promised Singer I'd put him
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 16: on this show. At the time, I believe he was
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 16: still the mayor of a place where I lived for
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 16: 16 years, Boca Raton, Florida. But he was running for Congress.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 16: So I'm a man of my word. Here we are
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 16: right before his big congressional race, 25th District. It's a
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 16: lot of room there. It goes all the way from
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 16: basically South Beach to Delray Beach. So you get Miami-Dade
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 16: and Palm Beach County. Here he is, hopefully the next
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 16: congressman in that district, my friend Scott Singer.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: Scott, good morning, pal. How are you?
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 9: Great, Sid. Thanks for having me.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: I told you I'd bring you on, didn't I?
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 5: I never had any doubt.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you did.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 16: But you're here this morning, so here we are about
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 16: two months before. So when was your actual last day
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 16: as mayor of Boca Raton?
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 9: Actual last day was the end of March, March 30th.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 9: Finished eight years as mayor, where I cut the tax
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 9: rate seven straight times, cut prime 25%, cut red tape,
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 9: attracted high-paying jobs, added transit, added schools. The right way
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 9: to govern, the opposite of what the Democrats are doing
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 9: and what they would do in Congress if they win it.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 9: That's why we have to win this race, and I'm
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 9: asking for your listeners to support me, scottsingerusa.com.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: A lot of my listeners go back and forth, almost
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: all of them, between New York and Florida. You know that.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 16: And my sisters live in Florida. My mother is down
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 16: there half the year. So you have a lot of
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 16: people here that care about that state and care about
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 16: that state a lot. And everybody knows I'll be back
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 16: there one day. But you served as mayor for eight years.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 16: Was that your first political job?
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 9: Well, yes, and on the city council. And it's a
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 9: part-time role. People don't realize that. Being mayor of a
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 9: large city like Boca Raton was part-time. I was still
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 9: a lawyer and small business owner. And that's how you
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 9: have to treat it. In Congress, like my opponent, too
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 9: many people treat it like an opportunity to trade stocks.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 9: My opponent, Jared Moskowitz, has traded stocks prolifically, $ 4. 5 million
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 9: worth while he's been there. Zero bills passed. I won't
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 9: trade stocks. I'll ban stock trading. I'll go after fraud
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 9: and corruption. That's what we need to take our country back.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 16: Well, Jared is a pretty well-known commodity. He's a pro-Israel guy, right?
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: And people, Jewish people, when they start to mention, you know,
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: people in politics in other states, like Josh Gottheimer in
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: New Jersey, Jared down in Florida, he does seem to
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: come up in conversation as a guy that people in
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: other states are aware of, especially his pro-Israel stance. Is
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: there any difference between the way you two guys treat
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: that very important issue?
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 9: Absolutely. He seems pro-Israel because the whole Democratic Party is not.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 9: He's admitted publicly that he's been ostracized by his own party,
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 9: and it's only going to get worse. He had a
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 9: vote for Ilhan Omar on foreign affairs. I would never
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 9: put Ilhan Omar in charge of foreign affairs for our
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 9: nation like he did. Last year, other Democrats crossed the
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 9: aisle to support Israel when there was a cooperation agreement
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 9: between Israel and the United States and the NDAA. He
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 9: did not. He's ducked out on a Local 10 debate.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 9: He won't debate these issues because he's afraid to talk
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 9: about Ilhan Omar and stock trades. I will stand with
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 9: our ally Israel, and I don't have to kowtow to
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 9: Democratic leadership. And he's going to vote for Hakeem Jeffries
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 9: and whoever Hakeem Jeffries says is in charge of things.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 9: It won't be Moskowitz.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: Wow, you just nailed that.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 16: That's a really good job there. Scott Singer, Republican candidate
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 16: running in the congressional district, 25 down in Florida, which
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 16: encompasses Miami-Dade and Palm Beach County.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: So I guess you're right.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 16: You know, a lot of these Democrats that seem pro-Israel,
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 16: there's a guy here, for example, his name is Richie Torres.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 16: And a lot of the Jews love him here. They
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 16: tell me he's pro-Israel, he's pro-Israel. The guy spends his
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 16: days and nights trashing President Trump. I mean, Richie Torres
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 16: trashes President Trump. He also trashes Bibi Netanyahu. So for me,
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 16: Justin Rosenberg.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: I don't believe you can be pro-America and pro-Israel and
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: spend your days and nights, excuse me, trashing those two guys.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 9: Well, the voters in my district finally have a choice,
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 9: not just some– we're both Jewish, and this is one
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 9: of the most Jewish districts in America. But you have
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 9: someone who's going to vote for the far left that's
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 9: made opposition to Israel its key policy plank, or someone
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 9: in my party, a Republican party, that stands with Israel.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 9: President Trump moved the embassy there, has done so many things.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 9: Being a pro-Israel in my party is a feature, not
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 9: a bug. And Moskowitz can't get over that. He's already
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 9: admitted he's ostracized. He's going to have no say if
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 9: he somehow won, but he won't. This is a Republican
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 9: plus five district. So if your listeners make sure they
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 9: request their mail-in ballot, if they're not back in time,
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 9: the Snowbirds, they can get one at scottsingerausa.com. We're going
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 9: to win this race. We need a lot of outside help.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: I think you will, too.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 16: One of the things that is great about down there is,
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 16: you know, you talk about defunding the police and law
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 16: and order.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: And again, I lived there for 16 years. And there's
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: no place in America at this point that doesn't have crime.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 16: I don't care where you are. Beverly Hills, Boca Raton,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 16: Park Avenue, there's crime. And there's more crime now than
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 16: ever before in some of these very, very safe places.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 16: But the truth is, when you compare Boca, Scott, to
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 16: cities like mine or other major cities, it's not close.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: Now, what's the difference? The cities with the issues are
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: blue cities, sanctuary cities.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 16: You guys, for the most part down there, Republicans win
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 16: almost every race.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: Is that not true?
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 22: It is.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 9: Sanctuary policies are a choice. New York has to deal
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 9: with that choice. We don't choose that. We backed our
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 9: law enforcement. We lowered crime rates 25% while I was mayor,
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 9: even from what were 40-year lows. So we are different.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 9: That's why I was honored to earn endorsements by the PVA,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 9: the National Association of Police Officers. I support a strong border.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 9: Moskowitz enabled President Biden to have a porous border. That
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 9: causes crime in cities, human trafficking, drugs, murder.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 22: It's terrible.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 9: That's what this election is about. It's about public safety.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 9: We need to continue these strong border policies. We need
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 9: to make sure our cities are safe. We need to
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 9: tell the Democrats no.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: What else? Give me one or two major issues where
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: you and Moskowitz are on the complete different side of
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: the aisle.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 9: How about taxes and cost of living? He posed the
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 9: biggest tax cut in American history. He raised taxes on
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 9: senior small businesses, tip workers. He will vote lockstep with Democrats.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 9: He votes with the squad 90 percent of the time.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 9: I don't support the squad. I will not vote for
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 9: Ilhan Omar, although for more tax cuts like I did
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 9: as mayor. And that's how we cut the costs of living.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 9: He's also voted for bloated budgets, both Democrats and Republicans
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 9: in Congress. need to change. We can't continue spending the
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 9: way we are. That's the high inflation. I'll fix that.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 9: I'll stand up with other people. I balance budgets every
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 9: year as mayor. We decrease the tax rate and still
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 9: increase reserves. That's how you win.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: You know, Rick Scott was on this show, was it yesterday?
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 16: I think so. Former great governor, now senator, and a
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 16: lot of the Florida politicians, Marco Rubio and I are
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 16: very good friends. Right now, the Secretary of State with
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 16: his Florida ties.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: So are you getting any endorsements, any public love from
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: any of the big names, maybe a DeSantis down in Florida?
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 9: Well, absolutely. President Trump endorsed, Governor DeSantis endorsed, House leadership endorsed.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 9: In fact, I had leader Steve Scalise coming to the
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 9: district as Speaker Johnson did last week. They understand that
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 9: this Republican plus five district is a must win, and
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 9: that's why we have a lot of outside investment helping us.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 9: But I also have people crossing part lines for a
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 9: Democrat and former Congressman Deutsch, who served this reason region
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 9: in Congress, has endorsed me, too. He knows that Moscow
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 9: with his own party is the problem and that Jared
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 9: can't stand up to it.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's big stuff, Scott Singer. Good for you.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 16: Now, tell me about debates. You know, here in New York,
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 16: the incumbents, they never want to debate anybody.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 16: Because nine times out of ten, they're the lesser candidate,
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 16: and they're the champ, right? So the champ gets to
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 16: do whatever the hell they want. So, for example, Hochul Blakeman,
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 16: right now, just one debate on the books. Many of
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 16: these big races, just one debate on the books. I
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 16: think Lawler gets two out of Rockland County. What about
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 16: you debating Moskowitz?
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: Where's that?
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 9: Well, he's ducked TV debates. Local 10, Channel 10 of
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 9: Miami offered terms. We said, whatever you want. Moskowitz said, no,
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 9: didn't even negotiate. Just said, no, we won't debate. We're
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 9: trying to get other TV stations to offer debates. He'll
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 9: probably say no to that. Apparently, we may have an
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 9: agreement on a forum, but his team said it couldn't
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 9: be video recorded and they didn't want the news videoing it.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 9: You're a sitting member of Congress and you're afraid to
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 9: go on camera? He loves camera when he can sound
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 9: off on soundbites, but not talk about his actual votes.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 9: He can bash Ilhan Omar, but still vote for her.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 9: That's not courage at all. let alone a candidate. It's shameful.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 9: I'll debate any time.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: Right, we know that the media is, you know, they're
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: part of the problem, okay? They really are. And here
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: in New York, they're every bit as bad as MSNOW
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: or CNN. They're every bit as bad. But, you know,
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: living in Florida all those years, I was doing sports.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: I wasn't really paying attention to politics.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 16: So I don't really know how the media in Florida,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 16: which in South Florida is a lot of Republicans, how
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 16: they operate.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: Are they fair or not really?
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 9: Well, I think the media has its lean, but that
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 9: should work in Jared's favor, not mine. Nevertheless, I've got
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 9: the courage to stand up and face the voters. He's
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 9: working for them now and won't debate on TV. I
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 9: don't know what you attribute that to. I don't think
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 9: that's courageous. I don't think it's doing your job.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 16: So I have two sisters, Scott Singer, too, by Sherry
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 16: and Elizabeth that live in Parkland.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: When you win this race, will you make their lives better?
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: That's all I care about.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 9: Well, I'll do my best as a member of Congress.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 9: Parkland is not in the district. It goes from Delray
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 9: Beach through Boca, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Miami Beach, along the coast.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 9: But happy to help them in any way I can.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 9: That's what this is about, public service, not enriching yourself,
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 9: not trying to gain the stock trades and gain the market.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 16: That's interesting that, you know, I always thought of Parkland
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 16: as like a section of Boca, but it's not because
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 16: then you've got like Coconut Creek and those other spots.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: So not even your district, huh?
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 22: It's not our district. That's actually where Jared lives.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 9: He's running in a district where he doesn't even live.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 9: That's OK.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 22: He wanted to.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 9: Bring it on and try to come in a district
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 9: where I was born, raised and served for 12 years.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 9: That's fine. The voters in this district will know a
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 9: representative actually knows our community is not a carpetbagging in
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 9: even from a little distance.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: So I'm happy again.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 16: I was standing with you at the White House with
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 16: Trump on night three of Hanukkah. I'm really happy to
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 16: hear that President Trump did endorse you, huh?
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 24: He did.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 9: He endorsed a lot of us after the primary wins.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 9: And then Governor DeSantis is endorsed. Again, Democratic Congress, former
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 9: Congressman Deutch is endorsed. And, you know, proud to have
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 9: support from a lot of people, law enforcement, business community.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 9: But that's why we're out there talking to neighbors every
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 9: single day. We get the turnout.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 24: We win.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 9: And I hope your listeners, particularly the Snowbirds, request a
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 9: mail-in ballot if they're not going to be back by
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 9: November 3rd.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 22: They can do so again.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 9: Scott Singer, USA.com.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: Scottsingerusa.com. They request a ballot and also donate to your cause. Yes.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 9: I would welcome the support like so many people have.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 18: Thank you, Sid.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: Yes. All right, man.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 16: I'm proud of you, Scott Singer. You did a great
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 16: job as mayor down there in Boca Raton. I'm well
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 16: aware of that.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: And I think you'll be a great congressman when you
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: beat Jared Moskowitz.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 16: So best of luck. We'll talk one more time before
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 16: and after. Good luck, Scott Singer. Excellent job this morning.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 16: Thank you so much.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 9: Thank you, Sid.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: God bless you.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 16: Scott Singer right there, the former mayor of Boca Raton, Florida,
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 16: now running for Congress in the 25th Congressional District, which
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 16: as you heard him say, big area, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach County.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 16: all the way from South Beach up to Atlantic Avenue
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 16: in Delray Beach. We will take a very, very short break.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: We've got so many great guests stopping by today, talking
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: about Congress, one of the best ever, former congressman, Homeland Security,
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: and our guy, we love this guy, Peter King.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 21: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 21: Podcast Network.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 16: That was one of the promises that G-Hot Boy, our mayor,
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 16: did make And it's going into effect today. But we know,
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 16: of course, that Randy Mastro, who just had success. in
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 16: the courts against Mamdani with the Pierre de Terre tax.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 16: He is fighting for the landlords in this rent freeze
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 16: issue as well, and we'll see where that goes. Talking
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 16: about Mamdani, my next guest has been as critical of
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 16: Mamdani as I've been. The great congressman for the better
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 16: part of four decades, Homeland Security, and I always say this,
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 16: King Giuliani, Giuliani King, I don't care, He's right there
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 16: at the very top of the best politicians we've ever had.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: In New York. My dear friend Peter King. Pete, good morning.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 24: I'm doing fine, Sid. How are you doing? By the way,
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 24: let me just mention about Caroline Schenkel. I hosted a
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 24: fundraiser for her in early August.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 22: You're right.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 24: She's a superstar. She belongs in Congress. She belongs definitely
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 24: in elective office. And she is great. Her family is great.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 22: She's great.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 24: So I'm glad you were there the other night. And
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 24: I really hope she does well. We need people like her.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 24: We need people like Janine Driscoll and Nassau County. I mean,
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 24: Republicans have to get moving, have to get the message out.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 24: And there's two very articulate spokeswomen who can do it.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: Agreed.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 16: My son Gabriel did something with Janine Driscoll.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: Was it yesterday or the week before? You know, he
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: still works with Bruce Blakeman. He leaves school.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 16: Yeah, he leaves school every Wednesday and goes back into
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 16: Nassau County. So he was helping out with Janine, I
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 16: think it was last week. But you're right, they're both
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 16: amazing ladies. And I think they're both going to win.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 16: We're going to see. Airline yesterday from Dubai to Tel Aviv,
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 16: where the Israeli passengers took.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: Over and saved the day. Unbelievable story, and we're still
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: getting details, and Lawrence Jones was just putting it to BB.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: Do you know for a fact that this guy... Wanted
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: a crash in Israel. Do you know for a fact.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 16: That this guy had radical Islam ties? All that, you know.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 16: Why else did he do what he did? Stabbed the
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 16: pilot and.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: Witnesses said he was screaming, but we're still asking the questions.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: Was this a terrorist attack? Really? What are your thoughts?
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 24: I think we have to assume, again, that it was
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 24: a terrorist attack. I guess the question is what level
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 24: of terrorism. The reason I say that, if it was
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 24: one person, that's bad. That's horrible. But if it was
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 24: part of an operation, then there could be other similar
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 24: ones being planned for the future. So you try to
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 24: find how far this goes, who he was connected with,
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 24: if anyone, and then you can break a conspiracy. You
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 24: can break it up. So that's the importance of having
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 24: the investigation. But no, I mean, obviously the guy, obviously
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 24: it was either supported terrorism, was a terrorist, But the
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 24: importance of finding out the extent of his ties is
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 24: that way he can ward off future attacks. Also, you
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 24: do what's called an after-action report, and Israel may look
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 24: to see if they can tighten security in some ways. Like,
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 24: for instance, I know in the United States, I've been
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 24: away from it now for a number of years, we
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 24: used to have to get the passenger manifest of everybody
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 24: flying in the United States, and we had to get
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 24: it so many hours before the plane would land here
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 24: in the United States, and we would go through it.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 24: Was that foolproof? No, but it was an added measure.
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 24: I'm sure the Israelis do something like that, maybe even more,
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 24: I don't know. But also then they may have to
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 24: check on the pilots and that how extensive a background
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 24: check does Israel get from, let's say, from UAE when
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 24: a pilot's coming in. Is he being checked totally? Is
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 24: Israel warned in advance or might or might not be
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 24: on the flight? All those things have to be looked at.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 24: It doesn't mean mistakes were made. It means that you
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 24: have to tighten them going forward. Like, you know, we
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 24: had with the shoe bomb. I mean, we have to
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 24: keep adapting because they're adapting to us. And that's, but
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 24: the important thing is, yeah, yes, there's a terrorist threat
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 24: out there. The two top targets in the world are
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 24: the United States and Israel. And Israel lives in a
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 24: much worse neighborhood than we do.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: No, no doubt about it. Of course, the other big
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: question is, is how did this pilot get a knife
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: on board? A man texted me. He's a fan of
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: the show. He's a great guy. He applies for JetBlue.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 16: He said, no, no, we go through the same screening procedures,
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 16: the same metal detectors that passengers do.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: So he seemed confused. How did this guy get a
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: knife on the plane?
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 24: Yeah, issues like that have to be examined. And also,
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 24: how extensive or how effective is the security in these
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 24: other countries? I mean, Israel has to be, as much
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 24: as we have to be on guard, Israel has to
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 24: be just as much on guard, or maybe more so,
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 24: constantly finding where there could be weaknesses, not in Israel
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 24: per se, but in countries that Israel is dealing with. Like,
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 24: for instance, the United States. I know we went several
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 24: years before he realized the importance of thorough background checks
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 24: on the guys that actually work at the airport, the
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 24: guys that are down there servicing the plane before and
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 24: after it takes off. So all you need is one
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 24: person in the wrong place at the wrong time, and
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 24: you can kill hundreds, maybe thousands of people. If that
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 24: plane was intended to come into Israel, not just killing
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 24: the passengers on board, which is horrible enough, If that
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 24: was going to hit a population center, it would have
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 24: been totally devastating. And almost as much as that is
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 24: the impact that would have on the psyche of the people.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 24: I know Israelis are resilient. and they want to fight back.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 24: But when you have something like that hits, you really
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 24: have to have strong leadership to overcome it. So thank
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 24: God it didn't happen. Thank God that those pilots— also the
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 24: people on board. I mean, it really was amazing. And also,
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 24: just think. How many things, first of all, had to
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 24: go wrong for that to happen in the first place,
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 24: but how many things had to go right to prevent it?
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 24: And how that guy was able to alert others that
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 24: this was happening, how he would have unlocked the door
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 24: and have those two pilots, standby pilots, make it to
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 24: the front, have a guy who was able to disarm
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 24: the madman with the knife. All those things had to
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 24: come together.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: So, yeah.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 24: Maybe it was one time God was on our side.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks that way.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 16: And, you know, the Israelis helped out the world just
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 16: a couple days ago. That plot in the U.K., terrorist plot,
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 16: that was the Israelis who figured that out, that Israel
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 16: has to go through this nonsense yesterday.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: And all this.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 16: We're just six days away right now, six days from
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 16: the three-year commemoration of October 7th. We just did 25 years,
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 16: 9-11 in America. Now they're about to go through it
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 16: three years since October the 7th. And what a disappointing
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 16: world it's turned out to be since morons, really stupid
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 16: people buying the propaganda that Hamas knew. They knew they'd
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 16: be effective. They were the murderers. They were the ones
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 16: who committed the genocide, not us. They knew we'd buy it.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 16: And like a bunch of sheep and morons. A lot
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 16: of the world, not all of it, not all of it,
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 16: but a lot of the world actually did buy it, Pete.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: So disappointing.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 24: It really is. I mean, I never would have thought
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 24: it was. I mean, I was in politics well over
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 24: 40 years, one way or the other, between local and Washington, D.C.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 24: I thought I had some sense of the way people
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 24: would react. I really thought, first of all, after 9-11,
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 24: that Americans would all stand together. They did for a while,
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 24: but then they started to stray off. I thought if
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 24: there's any terrible atrocity that's going to unite the world
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 24: on Israel's side, October 7th was it. Instead, from October
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 24: 8th on, people started turning against Israel. It's just incredible.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 24: And again, I come back here to New York, New
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 24: York City, where 9-11 happened. Whoever thought you have a
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 24: mayor who is very least sympathetic toward al-Qaeda, gets his
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 24: picture taken with al-Qaeda operatives, calls for global intifada, and
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 24: you'd have the streets of New York being taken over
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 24: by Hamas, Columbia University taken over by Hamas demonstrators. I mean,
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 24: this is just horrible. And it goes on. And it's
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 24: always accepted as a normal part of our politics.
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 18: Oh, yeah.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 24: I mean, it's not like this is like some fringe
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 24: issue off on the side. It's like almost legitimate that
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 24: you're a kind of enabling.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, you got Mahmoud Khalil, who's a campus terrorist,
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: who actually garnered sympathy from the networks and people around town.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: What did he do so bad? He was just protesting
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: for the poor Palestinians. Do your homework. I mean, people
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: are so I'm tired of talking about it. But people
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: are so stupid. They have no idea about the region.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: You know who does, Pete?
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 22: Me.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: Because I've gone there five times, okay?
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 16: I don't sit in Staten Island or Brooklyn or New Jersey,
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 16: wherever the hell Tucker Carlson lives and talks about this
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 16: issue like they know what they're talking about. They have
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 16: no idea. They just sound stupid. But they buy it.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 16: They all buy it. And again, six days away, like
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 16: you said. And then this mayor, he comes out two
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 16: days ago with this video about this ridiculous anti-Semite, anti-whatever
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 16: it is, combat unit that he's out there battling anti-Semite. Listen,
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 16: I made this comparison yesterday, Pete. You know these stories.
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 16: Some loser goes and starts a fire, okay? And then
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 16: he runs away from the scene. But he knows he's
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 16: coming back. He's literally across the street watching the fire burn.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 16: And when the fire starts to get out of control,
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 16: he goes back as if he just arrived for the
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 16: first time. And he puts out the fire and he
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 16: wants to be deemed a hero. That's Mamdani. He started
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 16: the fire. He continues to let fires burn with his
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 16: rhetoric about Jews and Bibi and Israel. And yet, whether
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 16: it's Marsha Kramer, CBS, or people in the streets.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: They want to give this guy credit for that ridiculous
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: video he put out a couple of days ago? What
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: am I missing?
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 24: You're not missing anything. To me, this is a guy
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 24: who's enabled anti-Semitism and all his body language, all the nuance,
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 24: everything leans against the Jews. And it leans against Jews
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 24: at a time when anti-Semitism is running rampant. To me,
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 24: his idea of being against anti-Semitism is to say that
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 24: the Jews aren't that much worse than Al-Qaeda or not
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 24: that much worse than Hamas. I mean, it's just, again,
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 24: you're right. He set this in motion, certainly enabled it,
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 24: encouraged it, and now tries to go through the motions
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 24: of saying, look, really, I'm against anti-Semitism. And the fact is,
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 24: no one has done more at the local level and
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 24: now at the national level, because he's a national follower,
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 24: and international because he's going against Netanyahu and That gives
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 24: you like an international forum. And to promote anti-Semitism, anti-Israel,
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 24: and not even in the sense of a policy difference.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 24: I support Israel totally on policy. I can see a
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 24: person having honest differences, do it this way, do it
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 24: that way. But to say they're carrying out genocide, to
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 24: say they're an evil state, to say they're violating human rights,
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 24: that's absolutely, to me, that is a slander. It's a
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 24: terrible slander. It's damaging to Israel. And damaging the United States.
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 19: 100%.
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: It comes right back here to us. And you know what?
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 16: I believe his wife right now, this Ramadan, whatever the
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 16: hell her name is, the one that liked all the
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 16: images of October the 7th, I think she's.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: In Syria right now.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 16: I swear to God, every time you got like a
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 16: big event here in New York City, this woman takes
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 16: off to some Arab country that's not a friend of
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 16: the United States, even with Trump, even with Trump, you know,
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 16: trying to do a better job with these Arab countries
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 16: than I guess he is. which I'm not all that
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 16: thrilled about, to be honest with some of them, but.
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: That's where she is.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 16: This lady runs out of here, 250th birthday, when her
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 16: husband made that dark, disgusting speech and turned Washington's desk around.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: She wasn't even here. She was in some Arab country.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: This is his wife. You're going to tell me that
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: he disagrees with his wife, the woman he calls a
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: love of his life, the woman he sleeps with every
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: night when she's not in some enemy Arab country, and
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: he disagrees with her? No, he doesn't. He's on the
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: same exact page.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 24: Was his wife and also his father. I mean, let's
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 24: face it, this guy comes from a real line of anti-Semitic,
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 24: anti-American family members. And he's, listen, there's no doubt where
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 24: his sympathies are, whether or not he actually wants Israel
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 24: to die. I don't know. But he's certainly against Israel.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 24: And again, he's a dangerous person. He's out there. And,
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 24: you know, you're talking about the Arab countries. Probably the
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 24: only one you could really count on is Jordan. And
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 24: that's the government, not the people. And also then Egypt
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 24: for the most part. But again, it's the government, not
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 24: the people. the populations in those countries, the Saudis, I
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 24: wouldn't trust them as far as you can throw them.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 24: I mean, for defense purposes, if we can get enough
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 24: on them that they have to stay with us, that's
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 24: one thing. But they would turn against us in a second. Listen,
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 24: you know, say we wind around, you know, the British
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 24: or the Italians or whatever, we can have policy differences,
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 24: but we know in the end they are pro-democratic. I mean,
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 24: I see a small D. They believe in the same
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 24: principles as us overall. Those Arab nations believe in nothing.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 24: The Saudis are the most, to me, disingenuous, double-crossing people
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 24: you can imagine. If we can use them to help us, fine,
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 24: but don't trust them. They will save us in the
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 24: back in a second.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: They believe in money.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 16: So explain this to me, because I got the text
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 16: from Laura Loomer yesterday, so join me coming up at 9.40.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 16: He's in office for nine months, this mayor, okay? And
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 16: his rhetoric, not just the Jews, the Italians, they hate
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 16: his guts.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: Trust me. Take a walk in Howard Beach.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 16: This morning or Little Italy or Arthur Avenue and grab
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 16: a couple of folks on the street that are Italian.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: Ask them how they feel about Mamdani. They hate his guts.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: They want to kill him like the Jews want to
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: kill him. Just trust me, okay? Trust me. The Irish,
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: they don't like him. The Germans don't like him. I
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: don't know who likes them. Maybe these waspy, blonde young girls.
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But this guy who's got.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 16: With all these people that are at the very least
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 16: terrorist sympathizers, if not terrorists. Loomer has data, written proof,
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 16: that he's in bed and has been seen with and
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 16: or talked to legitimate terrorist organizations. How, Peter, you're a
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 16: man that worked with Homeland Security, how does this country,
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 16: this administration, give this guy national security? How does this
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 16: guy get the same information the FBI and the CIA
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 16: gets on protecting us from terrorism?
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: How did we do that?
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 24: Well, I've been away from it for a while, but
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 24: I do know there are different levels of clearances. And
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 24: I really doubt he would be given any access to
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 24: really sensitive information. He may get general. I'm not there,
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 24: so I don't know for a fact. But I would
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 24: think what he may get is to be told that, hey,
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 24: there's a real threat against New York. We have to
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 24: be concerned. And then they will give the information to
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 24: the NYPD. And so I've been doubly aware that something
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 24: could be happening. I don't think they would give me
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 24: any idea where the sources are, what the basis for
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 24: that is. And so there are different levels of security clearance.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 24: You take out Nassau County, Fitz McCormick has, I think,
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 24: the highest you can get. Others get security clearance. Don't
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 24: go to that level. And I know when I was
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 24: in Congress, you know, the president got one thing. I
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 24: was on the Intelligence Committee. We were supposed to get everything.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 24: I don't know if we really did. But I can't
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 24: believe that you would have anybody giving an FBI briefing.
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 24: who was going to tell Mandami who their source is
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 24: in Brooklyn, who their source is in the Bronx, or
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 24: where they got this from, or what foreign country we
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 24: intercepted this from. Because any number of times we got
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 24: reports that New York could have been attacked, it wasn't,
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 24: and then we found out later why the report initially
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 24: didn't pan out, or it was stopped maybe in some
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 24: other country before it got here. So those things are
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 24: really complicated. I can't believe... They would give him any
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 24: idea other than the most general thing, saying we have
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 24: reports that there could be an attack on the subway
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 24: system next Tuesday, something like that. But beyond that, as
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 24: to why, I mean, I was with Ray Kelly once
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 24: when there was. Actually, there was going to be a
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 24: liquid explosive attack on the New York City subway system.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 24: And they were actually tracking a guy coming from Denver
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 24: to New York. And there was like four or five
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 24: operatives in New York that he was going to hook
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 24: up with. And Ray, the only time I've ever seen
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 24: him concerned because they wanted to wait till the guy
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 24: got to New York to find the guys he would
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 24: deal with. But if you wait too long, the whole
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 24: subway system could have been blown up. Having said that,
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 24: there was only one person in the community, in the
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 24: Muslim community, they could trust. It was an imam. So
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 24: they confided in him to try to get more information.
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 24: He tipped off the bad guys. So that's what we're
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 24: up against. It's very sensitive. I can't believe... they would
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 24: be giving Manzami any type of real inside information other
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 24: than generalities. But yet, I'm not there. I don't know.
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 24: But knowing people like John Radcliffe and Marco Rubio, I
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 24: can't believe. that they would allow him to get any
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 24: information and be really sensitive other than just, you know,
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 24: the general top line.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 22: I can be wrong.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 24: I hope I'm not on that. But again, I don't
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 24: think he deserves a security clearance. On the other hand,
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 24: for a city like New York, the mayor has to
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 24: be given some idea of what's going to happen.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 18: Sure.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 24: You have to mobilize the hospitals, schools, transportation, everything else.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: You make sense.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 24: I was trusting him now.
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 16: Yeah, you make a lot of sense. He got top level.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 16: It doesn't mean he got the highest level. So you're
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 16: making a lot of sense. And if you're right, and
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 16: it sounds.
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: Like you are. then I can live with that. Don't
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: love that either, but he is right. But he does
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 1: run this city. And if there's a.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 16: Bomb plan and George Washington bridge or the subways or tunnels.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 1: Or I guess he asked to know, but he's just
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: such a creep. You're not, you're a beautiful man. I
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: love you to pieces. This was a great conversation today,
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: Peter King. Thank you so much.
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 22: Thank you, Sid. Have a good weekend.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: God bless you. You are great. You really are.
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 16: Pete King right there. He's great every week, usually Wednesdays.
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 16: Stops by on a Thursday. Three more great guests still
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 16: to come. The aforementioned Laura Loomer. She's going to stop by.
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 16: We're going to talk to the terrific senator of the
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 16: state of Wisconsin. Here come the Brewers, Ron Johnson, and
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 16: making a first appearance ever on Sid and Friends in
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 16: the Morning.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: Imus is back. Deirdre Imus.
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 21: Sid and Friends in the Morning on the Red Apple
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 21: Podcast Network.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 16: Now they get to face the team who won the
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 16: most games. It wasn't the Dodgers. It wasn't the Rays.
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 16: It wasn't the Yanks. The team with the most wins
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 16: in Major League Baseball this year, the Milwaukee Brewers.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: They won 103.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 16: And when I think of Milwaukee, outside of Vernon Shirley,
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 16: I think of one guy. the amazing Senator from the
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 16: state of Wisconsin, my good friend, Ron Johnson. Ronnie, how
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 16: about those Milwaukee Brewers?
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 22: Good morning, sir. Well, first of all, that is a
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 22: great song by Garth Brooks. But yeah, it's pretty amazing.
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 22: A small market team like the Brewers have been so
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 22: consistently good. We can say the same thing about the Packers.
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 22: We really are blessed being Wisconsinites. Again, it's not New
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 22: York City or Los Angeles, but we still feel that
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 22: They're just excellent teams consistently year after year, decade after decade.
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 22: It's fun to watch.
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 16: You're also not that far removed from the Greek freak
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 16: winning an NBA championship there in Milwaukee. Now he's in Miami,
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 16: but just a couple of years ago now, it may
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 16: be over for the Packers.
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 16: I don't like what I'm seeing out of Jordan Love
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 16: three weeks in, but you're right. You're a city, and
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 16: I got to tell you, even today, most wins in baseball,
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 16: people are like, nah, the Dodgers, they're still going to win.
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 16: But I have to imagine your people in Milwaukee, very confident,
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 16: leading up to this Padres series, yes?
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 22: We're hoping for some really good series. We're hoping that
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 22: they go.
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: All the way.
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 22: It'd be a lot of fun to watch.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: Really will.
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 16: They're a good team, and it is a fun city.
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 16: I actually was in that ballpark when I went to
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 16: see you during the RNC a couple years ago when
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 16: President Trump arrived with a big white shirt I guess
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 16: badge on his ear after he was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania,
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 16: I should say, the day before.
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: Let me talk about yesterday, Mr. Senator.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 16: You hosted a roundtable, Monday actually, focusing on hospitals handling
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 16: of COVID-19 treatment protocols.
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: You've been great with this. You've been the voice.
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 16: I really believe the voice in politics about all the
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 16: issues with COVID and all the things they did wrong.
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 1: How did Monday go?
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 22: Well, we need a COVID reckoning so it never happens again.
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 22: But I've known about the deadly hospital protocols for years,
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 22: the abuse, particularly heaped on people that were unvaccinated. And
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 22: so we just kind of opened up our website, you know,
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 22: tell us your story. We, in the end, over just
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 22: about a month period, got 583 stories from 46 states.
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 22: So this isn't just one off. And instead, the consistency
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 22: of the stories they tell And they are horrific stories.
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 22: They are heartbreaking. But the cruelty, I mean, doctors, nurses,
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 22: when they find out, well, your father's on vaccine, he's
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 22: going to die. You're going to watch him die. What
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 22: did you expect? That wasn't a one-off. Those kind of
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 22: comments were consistent. Also was consistent where they told their
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 22: loved one that they were going to die. Well, would
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 22: you just try ivermectin, bunesodide? Would you just try these
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 22: cheap generic drugs?
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: Nope.
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 18: Nope.
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 22: So We had one attorney, Ralph Larigio, from New York.
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 22: He started suing hospitals, contacted by one family and just grew.
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 22: In the end, he sued 212 hospitals. He won 72
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 22: of the cases. Of those 72 individuals, only three died,
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 22: and that's only because he won too late. They were
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 22: too far gone. Of the 140 cases he lost or
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 22: that never got before a court, where those people stayed
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 22: on the hospital protocol, Sid, they all died. I know
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 22: it's not a random controlled trial, but it's pretty powerful. Again,
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 22: I know that ivermectin worked. I know benesidide worked. I
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 22: know monoclonal antibodies worked. Why didn't the rest of the
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 22: medical establishment know it? Because our FDA was pushing the
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 22: experimental gene therapy, putting billions of dollars into Pfizer and
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 22: Moderna's pockets, And by the way, you know, I'm interviewing
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 22: these guys. These are people that approve the injection. They
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 22: will never admit they were wrong. They will never admit it.
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 16: And you're still, I believe, working on something in Congress
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 16: for people that had all these very serious medical difficulties
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 16: to this day from those vaccines, right?
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 22: Yeah, I mean, we've set up this countermeasure compensation fund.
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 22: Nobody's getting paid. I mean, the amount of payments made
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 22: out of it is minuscule, it's measly, because we're not
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 22: acknowledging the injuries. To this day, you know, I held
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 22: my first event in June of 2021 with the injection injured,
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 22: people like Bree Dress and Maddie DeGarry. And all they
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 22: wanted was to be seen, heard, and believed so they
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 22: could be treated properly. They're still not seen here and believed.
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 22: You know, again, we just interviewed Peter Marks. Well, I
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 22: never said, you know, it couldn't cause injury. But you
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 22: said they were rare and mild. You never admitted they
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 22: were killing people. They were permanently disabling people. The government
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 22: still is not admitting it. And, you know, Sid, I
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 22: think one of the reasons is if they admit it,
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 22: you know, we're already $ 40 trillion in debt at a
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 22: trillion or two. I think the harm was so extensive.
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 22: I think it killed so many people. The federal government
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 22: really had to fess up and pay the damages. You know,
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 22: Bree Dressen, for example, hundreds of thousands of dollars of bills.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 22: She's part of the AstraZeneca file. AstraZeneca sent her a
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 22: check for something like $ 1, 700. It was under $ 2, 000 as
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 22: payment in full. These AstraZeneca, Pfizer, they completely abandoned these people.
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 22: Maddie Degary, 12-year-old little girl in the Pfizer trial for adolescence,
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 22: she's paralyzed. She's in a wheelchair, a feeding tube. They
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 22: put that down in their trial documents as functional abdominal pain. Now,
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 22: functional means it's in your head. It's not real. It's
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 22: not physical. It's mental. Functional stomach ache. That's how Pfizer
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 22: reported a 12-year-old who's been paralyzed since she got her
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 22: second dose.
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 1: Terrible.
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 16: I had an attorney on yesterday just to bring it
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 16: away from the actual vaccine injuries.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: And talk about religious exemption. I had a guy on
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 1: from Essex County here in New Jersey. Name is John Coyle.
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 16: He represented this groundskeeper in New Jersey. His name is
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 16: Teddy de Blasio, which you shout to me twice. He's
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 16: a sweet guy. And Teddy refused to take the vaccine.
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 1: He's a Christian.
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 16: And based on his religious beliefs, he didn't take it.
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 16: And of course, he was fired and Never got his money.
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 16: He's looking for a whole bunch of PAC pay. Well,
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 16: the good news is John Coyle did win that suit
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 16: first time ever in New Jersey that we've won a
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 16: religious exemption suit. So I guess what I'm getting at
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 16: here is whether it's vaccine injury, whether it's religious exemption.
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 16: Watching Andrew Cuomo buy a $ 9 million house in the
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 16: Hamptons yesterday, that's got to piss off a lot of people.
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 16: It does seem like, Ron Johnson, the pendulum may be
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 16: swinging towards our way, the way of the good guys.
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 22: Well, let's hope so. Again, once your eyes are open
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 22: to these realities, whether it's the COVID injection, whether it's
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 22: childhood vaccine injuries, that type of thing, it's pretty hard
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 22: to close your eyes. I mean, once you've met the
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 22: vaccine injured, the father who lost his best friend, his
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 22: teenage son, you can't turn your back on that. Somehow,
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 22: these federal regulators are able to do that. They just
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 22: tune it out. They cling to their mathematical models that
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 22: just prove this thing was so effective, even though I
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 22: have completely disproven, for example, the Commonwealth Fund study that
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 22: claimed that injections saved 3.2 million lives in 21 and 2022.
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 22: In order to assume that, you'd have to have gone
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 22: from less than 3 million deaths before the pandemic to
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 22: 5 million deaths. Mm-hmm. And we didn't. At most, we
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 22: hit 3.5 million deaths. So again, they use completely BS studies,
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 22: just like climate change. People have to understand, science has
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 22: been thoroughly corrupted. It's been corrupted by these models, by
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 22: corrupt peer review, but they use this fake science. to
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 22: control the population, to force people to mandate this injection.
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 22: We bounced, what, 8,000 service members from the military? We
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 22: kicked nurses out of hospitals while we had a nursing shortage.
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 22: I mean, this is insane. The problem is people just
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 22: want to move on. They do not want to face
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 22: the insanity. But if you actually go back and put
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 22: yourself in that time period and you see what happened—
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 22: How stupid were we all to buy this crap, to
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 22: listen to people like Anthony Fauci? People don't want to
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 22: admit they were that stupid.
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, listen, I do think there was a
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 1: level of stupidity, yes. But the better word, and it
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: often does work, Ron, is fear. Now, I'm not talking
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 1: about people like Anthony Fauci. He knew better. He wasn't stupid.
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 1: He was corrupt, okay? But the general public who were told,
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 1: you can't do this, you can't do that, you're going
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 1: to die, I'm not sure a lot of them were stupid. Now,
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 1: they should have eventually figured it out. Yes, at this point,
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 1: if you don't get it, then you are stupid. But initially,
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 1: come on, man. Everybody was scared to death.
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 22: No, I'm not calling people stupid. I'm saying if you
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 22: look back at it now, you think that of yourself.
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 22: How stupid could I have been to listen to Samuel,
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 22: a fear monger, like Anthony Fauci? No, I was fearful.
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 22: I mean, you see people in moon suits. You see
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 22: doctors dropping dead three days after the treaty. No, this
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 22: was scary, but we knew early on. From the Princess Cruise,
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 22: it wasn't Ebola. It wasn't SARS. It wasn't MERS.
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 7: No.
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 22: It was something like maybe twice the bad flu, which
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 22: Fauci said in his diary. But he said, no, it's
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 22: 10 times the flu. No, they lied to us repeatedly.
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 22: We have to feel stupid for buying it.
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 25: Right.
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 1: And the guy that actually came out early on and
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: said it's just a bad flu was Dr.
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 11: Oz.
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 16: Believe it or not, before he even worked in the
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 16: Trump administration, he was on my show. He's like, Sid, honestly,
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 16: it's like a bad flu when Fauci was telling us
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 16: we're all going to die. Let's move talking about Oz
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 16: and Trump. They are trying desperately to cancel whatever Trump
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 16: wants to fund. This is more heroic work out of you,
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 16: Ron Johnson, because you're trying to make sure that's not
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 16: the case.
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 1: Give me specifics on this effort.
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 22: Now, are you talking about the fraud?
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 1: No, not the fraud. I'm talking about you're blocking the
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 1: votes to stop Trump's funding cancellations.
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 22: Well, yeah, he's doing it. This is a minor rescission package.
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 22: It's a pocket veto and or pocket rescission. Eight hundred
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 22: and ten million dollars. I mean, it's a measly amount.
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 22: Seventy percent of that, by the way, Sid, is money
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 22: we haven't had to spend trying to take care of
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 22: unaccompanied children. Remember, the Biden administration let millions of people
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 22: flood through, hundreds of thousands of oncoming children who they
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 22: lost track of, who were probably sex trafficked. That's what
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 22: the Biden administration did. So they funded something like $ 6
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 22: billion to try and keep track of these kids. They
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 22: didn't keep track of them. We've rounded up. We found
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 22: a lot of them. The Trump administration has found a
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 22: lot of them. But now that we've closed the border,
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 22: we're not spending $ 527 million. So rescind it. And Democrats
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 22: are saying, oh, don't spend it anyway. They Again, we
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 22: secured the border. We don't have to spend it. Why
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 22: don't we at least save $ 810 million?
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 1: Right, right. Now, listen, and you brought up fraud. I
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: brought up Dr.
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 11: Raj.
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 1: He's doing a great job on the Medicare and Medicaid fronts.
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 1: As you know, the vice president, J.D. Vance, he's done
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 1: a good job with that. People like Lee Zeldin, EPA,
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: he's uncovered billions in fraud. Anthony D'Esposito and Keith Sondland,
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 1: those guys with the Labor Department, they've done the same.
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 1: So in the fraud department, you guys have done a
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 1: phenomenal job.
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 22: And understand that the lowest estimate comes from GAO at
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 22: about $ 250 billion a year. LexisNexis CEO came in. They
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 22: say a trillion dollars a year. So over 10 years,
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 22: that's $ 2. 5 to $ 10 trillion. If we could really address that, again,
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 22: you wouldn't have to cut benefits. You just eliminate fraud.
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 22: But when the Trump administration canceled the coverage for For 750,000
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 22: fraudulent Obamacare recipients, they're fraudulent. They didn't even know they
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 22: were signed up. So they canceled the coverage. They weren't
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 22: being nobody's using it. We're just pumping billions of dollars
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 22: in the insurance companies pockets when we cancel it. Democrats
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 22: who are screaming or taking people off of coverage. No,
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 22: we're just ending the fraud.
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 1: They're so stupid.
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 16: How do you yell at my friend, your colleague in
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 16: the Senate, who I love? He was my governor when
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 16: I was down in Florida. He's one of my favorite people,
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 16: Rick Scott, because he voted against the Protect College Sports Act.
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 1: Ron Johnson, how do you feel about that, Bill?
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 22: Well, first of all, I personally think that I would
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 22: rather not have the federal government in this at all.
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 22: The only reason I voted for it is our universities
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 22: in Wisconsin and the NCAA, in the end, I guess
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 22: it's better than nothing. In Rick Scott's case, SEC Florida
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 22: universities are disadvantaged by it. So, again, he voted to
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 22: support his constituents. The thing passed. Let's cross our fingers. Again,
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 22: college sports is a mess. Understand that. Will Congress fix it?
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 22: We'll see.
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: Fair enough. They've got it next. Save America Act, Ron Johnson.
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 1: Is it dead?
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 22: Well, I'll tell the election right now, it's dead because
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 22: Democrats will not vote for it. I mean, understand that.
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 22: Republicans all vote for it. We don't have Democrats supporting
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 22: any election integrity measures. So we'll keep pushing on it.
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 22: We'll be working on a reconciliation package to do some
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 22: vote integrity measures during reconciliation after the election. But for
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 22: the time being, yeah. It's not passing before the election,
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 22: that's for sure. By the way, even if it would
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 22: have passed, it would have been implemented by this election anyway. So, again,
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 22: when you go to the polls, understand it's Democrats who
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 22: are opposed to– they voted against a stock trading ban,
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 22: members of Congress. They voted against a voter ID. They
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 22: voted against a ratepayer protection plan act that would have
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 22: made sure that the AI data centers couldn't result in
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 22: higher electricity costs. Democrats all voted against that here in
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 22: the Senate.
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 1: Morons. So then tell me this. Why am I even worried,
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 1: Ron Johnson, that in 30-plus days we may lose the Senate?
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, everybody I talk to, very smart people, they go, Sid,
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 1: you're going to lose the House.
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 14: I am?
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure about that. You're going to lose the House.
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 16: I think you're okay in the Senate, but I'm not
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 16: even sure about that. 30-plus days out, Ron Johnson, what
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 16: do you think?
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 22: Well, the reason is these are prices and gasoline prices.
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 22: And that's because President Trump had the balls to end
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 22: the existential threat that Iran posed to America if they
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 22: became a nuclear power. Now, it's been messy. It's been
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 22: carried on longer than we thought. That's impacted gasoline and
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 22: diesel prices, as has the war in Ukraine. And unfortunately,
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 22: voters aren't real. They're pretty short sighted. And that's the
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 22: biggest thing we've got going against us heading in the
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 22: midterm right now.
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 16: Ron Johnson, you are a great man, a terrific senator,
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 16: one of my favorite people, a great guy. Good luck
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 16: to you on Milwaukee Brewers against the San Diego Padres,
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 16: and we will talk again very soon.
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 1: Great job this morning. Thank you so much.
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 22: Take care.
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 1: God bless you. Ron Johnson, right there, the senator from
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: the great state of Wisconsin. All right, we still have
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 1: Laura Loomer coming up in the 9 o'clock hour. But
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 1: coming up next, this is a very, very special lady.
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 1: I know all you folks still love and miss Don Imus.
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 1: Everybody does.
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 16: His wife, Deandra, is doing some great, great things. I
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 16: don't think Deandra's been on this station. It's got a
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 16: long time. A very, very long time.
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 1: Now, Wyatt... Their son, he's been out a couple of times,
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 1: getting married actually in a couple of weeks, Mazel Tov
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 1: to Wyatt.
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 16: But Deidre Imus makes her return to WABC. She's coming
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 16: up on Sid and Friends in the Morning.
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 5: Sid and Friends.
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 2: In the Morning on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 16: I was very happy a couple of months ago to...
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 16: reestablish relationships with Deirdre Imus who I loved through the
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 16: years and Wyatt.
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 1: Wyatt's been on the show a bunch of times. He's terrific.
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 16: Kids get married in a couple of weeks. And Deirdre's
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 16: got a lot of really good stuff going on. She's
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 16: got this art show in New York City. She's been
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 16: doing it for years and she does well. She sells paintings.
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 16: She's the anti-Hunter Biden, I guess.
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 16: So Deirdre's got a big show coming up here in
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 16: New York City, plus some other exciting things going on.
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 16: So I said, why not now? This is a great
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 16: time to bring Deirdre on. We've been trying to get her.
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 1: On for years, but Rob Bartlett keeps saying bad things
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 1: about us. I'm kidding. So here she is, the great
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 1: Deirdre Imus, back on WABC. Deirdre, sweetheart, how are you?
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 18: Aren't you going to ask me what I'm wearing or
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 18: are my peaches fuzzy?
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 16: I swear to God I was going to do that.
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 16: I really was, but I figured I really was.
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 1: Is that, you know, if I asked you, it's a
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 1: hard question because there's probably a lot of answers to this.
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 16: But if I asked you what you miss the most
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 16: about your husband, Don, is it possible to answer that?
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 18: Uh, It is. It's a lot though. I mean, it
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 18: was everything about him. Mainly though, his angle, his mind,
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 18: his angle at which he came at life was so original,
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 18: so unique. I mean, to this day, there's nobody that
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 18: I say, oh, they're kind of like Imus or they
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 18: come in at a point of view or an observation.
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 18: And then he did it with humor always. Like that
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 18: was his thing. Like he did always want to make
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 18: people laugh or just, see the funny in everything. And
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 18: of course you cross a lot of red lines. You
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 18: cross those red lines when you do that. Cause you
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 18: walk a tight rope, which he did his, I feel
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 18: like his whole life, just knowing his whole life. And
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 18: then the 27 years that I was with him and
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 18: 25 years married. Um, but yeah, he, he was just,
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 18: and I, so I missed that and I missed that, um,
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 18: rapport back and forth, that repartee that I had daily
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 18: where I was always laughing. I mean, even in the
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 18: darkest of times, there was always laughter. I mean, his
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 18: light was shining the brightest, I thought, when he was
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 18: always at the ranch with these kids that were with
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 18: cancer when we did the ranch. And And I'll never
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 18: forget it because then when he was diagnosed with cancer too,
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 18: and it was never about him and it never took
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 18: him down. And I remember some of these kids that
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 18: were even terminal that were at the ranch and had
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 18: all these horrible life stories on top of getting their diagnosis.
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 18: And somehow, even with the cancer and bringing that up
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 18: in these stories that he would tell the kids and
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 18: inspire them, he could get them to laugh. They could
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 18: laugh through their pain and they could laugh, you know,
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 18: even about their diagnosis. And it was genuine. I mean,
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 18: that's him. You can't pretend to be that, you know,
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 18: which he definitely wasn't. He was pretty raw.
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 1: He was.
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 16: I'm not going to compare myself to him because he
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 16: was a legend. But I have my fair share of detractors.
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 16: A lot of people actually hate me. I mean, hate me.
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 16: They want me dead. And what they do is they
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 16: go after you with the stuff that you do the best. So,
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 16: for example, you mentioned the ranch. OK, I know for
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 16: a fact you guys have done and still do, even
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 16: with Don gone, still do amazing work. Yet people like
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 16: Howard Stern, that scumbag and others, oh, they got a
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 16: day camp.
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 1: They're making money. When you heard those types of things
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 1: and your husband, he was alive. Did that bother you?
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 1: We just kind of brush it off.
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 18: It never bothered me or Don because we knew what
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 18: we were doing. We knew the work we were doing.
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 18: We knew that, you know, I mean, my husband solely
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 18: was the fundraiser for the ranch. I mean, he raised
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 18: an hour's $ 40 million back in 1998, which was unheard
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 18: of on the air. You know, and he used his
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 18: show all those years. I mean, he was on the
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 18: air for 50 years, but he used all those years
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 18: I was with him, too. Any chance he could get
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 18: to get someone on to help them to raise money,
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 18: especially when it came to kids, anything to do with
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 18: kids with cancer, autism, anything to help children or the military.
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 18: Those are those are big veterans. Those were big priorities
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 18: for him. And, you know, you look back on his career,
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 18: even the People that were unheard of and people didn't
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 18: even know that he knew he could help and give
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 18: them a voice and a platform, he did. And he
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 18: extended himself. I mean, basically he killed himself basically being
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 18: at that ranch because he couldn't breathe.
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 18: And people didn't know all that.
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 22: Right.
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 18: So he cut some years off his life by us
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 18: doing that. Yeah.
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 1: Um, so is it fair to say then, so with,
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 1: with all the Marconis and all the praise and all
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 1: the number ones and all that great stuff that I
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 1: miss had, I mean, let's face it. They write the book. He's,
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 1: he's right there at the very top. Would you say
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 1: that you're most proud of all that work you just
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 1: talked about?
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 18: Oh, by far, I have to say to this day,
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 18: the ranch, you know, and I find it, you know,
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 18: we founded the ranch together, um, I was pregnant with
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 18: Wyatt when six months pregnant with Wyatt, when we were
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 18: both already venturing out West and we were already supporting
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 18: some of these organizations on the Indian reservations. And we
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 18: were seeing, you know, all these children that needed help
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 18: in poor areas, but kids with cancer, you know, a
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 18: lot of people weren't talking about it. And there wasn't
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 18: a lot that was happening to, to help a lot
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 18: of these children. So he, by being raised on a
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 18: cattle ranch and, Um, he came up with the idea
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 18: one day when he was writing an interview for Paul Newman.
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 18: I remember he was having Paul Newman on and I
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 18: was actually on the treadmill. I mean, I'm like this
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 18: fitness person, you know, exercise, gym, gym princess, whatever. But anyway,
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 18: I was doing that and he, um, he, we were
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 18: trying to figure out what we could do that. And
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 18: I had already been working with Hackensack University Medical Center
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 18: in the hospitals, the Tomorrow's Children Fund, you know, with David, my,
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 18: my dear friend, my, my bestie, David Jurist. And, um,
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 18: we were trying to figure out, because I had seen
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 18: a need where, yes, doctors have their roles. Parents, of course,
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 18: they're doing everything they can. But I saw that there was,
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 18: when children get diagnosed, they lose their self-esteem. They lose
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 18: their confidence. They lose a sense of direction, a sense
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 18: of purpose. And those are things we all need in life,
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 18: regardless of what happens to us, right? So that's when
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 18: Don and I were talking, like, He said, I know
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 18: what we're going to do. We're going to do a
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 18: ranch for kids with cancer, a working cattle ranch. From
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 18: growing up, that whole work ethic, getting up, feeding the
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 18: animals before you go to school, and that sense of
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 18: responsibility and that strong work ethic and that strong sense
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 18: of purpose, you gain something. your, your confidence and your
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 18: self-esteem and you do it by the doing of having
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 18: a strong work ethic.
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 9: Frankly, it starts there with all of us.
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 18: And that's the foundation that Don came up with and
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 18: he lived it his whole life. That's who he was.
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 18: I mean, his work ethic was incredible. So that's what
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 18: we did when we built this ranch and no one
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 18: had ever done it. No one had, you know, kids
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 18: working on ranches and getting up at five 30, you know,
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 18: which we both ran the ranch, uh, We worked the ranch.
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 18: We moved out there all summer. You know, we never
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 18: went on vacations or anything.
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 3: No.
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 18: That is what we wanted to do.
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's true.
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 16: And, you know, you mentioned David Jurist and Joel Hollander,
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 16: also a terrific guy, Tomorrow's Children's Fund. And SIDS, all
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 16: three of you guys were great together. But I do
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 16: have to ask you this. You were with Don for many,
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 16: many years.
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 1: So maybe I don't have the dates right, but one
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 1: day you had to be with Don when he was
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 1: a regular New York City guy. And then all of
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 1: a sudden, the next morning, you wake up with a
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 1: guy who's wearing a cowboy hat and carrying a gun.
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 1: What was that progression like where you went from a
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 1: regular New York guy to a cowboy?
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 18: Who was a regular New York guy?
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 1: Don, he wasn't walking around with a cowboy hat and
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 1: a gun his whole career.
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 18: First of all, Don was never a regular guy in
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 18: any stretch of the imagination whatsoever. It was he, I mean,
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 18: you could go through the list and check. You couldn't
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 18: do it. He, he didn't, he wasn't regular in any way.
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 18: I mean, he was just, uh, yeah. I mean, but,
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 18: but remember he was, um, a cowboy. He, he grew
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 18: up on, you know, 40, 45,000 acre cattle ranch. You know,
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 18: in California and between Sligman and Kingman, Arizona. He goes back,
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 18: the legacy of the Imus cattle goes back to 1874.
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 18: that's how far back this, um, that Wyatt is now
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 18: holding that and can't, uh, carrying that for the Imus
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 18: family is Wyatt Imus, you know, and he's, like you said,
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 18: he's getting married. Hey, I wanted to congratulate you though. Um, you're,
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 18: you're still getting that hall of fame deal, right?
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 1: I haven't taken it away yet. Not yet. I'm going, yes.
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 1: October 22nd, a week after our Wyatt gets married, actually.
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 22: Right.
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 18: And, um, I'm very proud of you.
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 18: I'm very proud of you. And I know Dom would
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 18: be proud. And, uh, He would be. He would be.
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 18: And so that's a big deal, Sid. You got to
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 18: work on those Marconis, though, don't you?
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 1: I have none. Zero. I'll never get one because I'm too.
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 16: I'm saying this to Don Amos' wife, but I'm too
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 16: polarizing and I like the wrong people.
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 1: I like the same people that you like. Donald Trump,
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 1: Bill White, all those people we like this day and age.
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 1: That's a... That hurts you. Hurts you a lot. I
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 1: know you know that.
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 18: Well, just Stick with your truth.
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I don't care.
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 18: You know keep fighting the.
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 1: Fight i don't care about the good fight and you.
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 18: Don't want to compromise your your principles your morals your
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 18: values and um you know it does it doesn't matter
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 18: then to me i i never look at it that
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 18: way you know if you It's okay to have enemies,
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 18: by the way.
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 1: Of course. It's great. What do you mean it's okay?
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 1: It's actually great.
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 11: I love it.
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 16: I enjoy my enemies more than the people that love me.
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 16: I can't wait to talk to my enemies. It's a
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 16: lot of fun.
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 1: Tell me this. Your art has become huge. I know
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 1: you've been doing these art shows in Soho for a
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 1: long time. I don't know how many years exactly. But
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 1: it is huge.
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 16: People love your work. I see it on Instagram and
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 16: other social media sites. And at the risk of patronizing you,
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 16: you're actually really good. Like, really good. Tell me about
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 16: this latest show coming up.
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 18: Okay. Thank you. First of all, thank you, Sid. I
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 18: appreciate that. Don always loved my art too. I never
• 2:08:51
  Speaker 18: did it as a career. I've been painting my whole life,
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 18: but it was always a private thing because painting for
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 18: me is really a confessional when it comes down to it.
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 18: And so I always thought it wasn't something I'm self-taught.
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 18: I went to university, but not for art, never took
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 18: an art class or anything, but I always was painting
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 18: or drawing or And, you know, for my whole life
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 18: since I was little. Right now, though, I have 22
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 18: paintings at Simkai, who's a fashion designer. Simkai, it's a
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 18: store in Soho. It's 158 Mercer Street in New York
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 18: City there, Simkai. And he has beautiful, his fashion is beautiful.
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 18: And Jonathan Simkai is who asked me to have my
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 18: paintings in his store. So we had the big event
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 18: opening there. Last week, I was in New York City,
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 18: and the paintings are going to be there. They're for sale,
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 18: all of them, for the next month, probably into November here.
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 1: Very cool.
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 18: Yeah, so people can come there, and they can inquire
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 18: or go to the store or call the store, and
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 18: then they can get a hold of me also through
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 18: my website, which is deirdreimus.com. you know, so it's easy
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 18: to get ahold of me too, um, for, for those
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 18: paintings that are there. But I did do my first
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 18: solo show, uh, was in New York city last year. Um, 2025, January, 2025, uh,
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 18: at art Gotham in the lower East side of Manhattan. Um,
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 18: I had a 44 paintings and I sold a good,
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 18: I sold a good chunk of them.
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 1: Look at you, Deidre.
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 16: Selling art all over New York City. Why don't you
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 16: have an apartment here? I know you live in Texas,
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 16: some place. I don't even know the name of that city.
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 16: But why don't you have an apartment here in Lower Manhattan?
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 18: Well, I did. Well, I formally moved out of New
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 18: York City two years ago. Finally sold our penthouse and
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 18: office and everything that we had there.
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 1: Central Park, yeah, yeah.
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 18: Yeah, Central Park West.
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 1: That hurt you. I know that hurt you, by the way.
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 1: That hurt you, didn't it?
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 22: Well, yeah.
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 18: Don and I started our life there. We bought it
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 18: when we first married and all of that. But it
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 18: was the best life. But I'm here on this ranch
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 18: in Texas, and I have this huge art studio. I
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 18: converted an entire barn here. And then Wyatt has his
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 18: whole horse. I miss ranch quarter horses here. I will
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 18: be in my studio and I could see both horse
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 18: and all the horses. Wyatt has a big outdoor arena
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 18: and then the indoor arena and we have horses everywhere.
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 18: So that's my whole inspiration. A big part of my
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 18: paintings are these horses. And, but I, um, I, uh,
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 18: I'm not a realist. I paint more of an emotional, um,
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 18: view of how I paint my work. And it's large scale.
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 18: Most of my paintings are large scale. But yeah, I mean,
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 18: I'll see Deja, Bo's horse and all the horses, you know,
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 18: in their different pastures and Wyatt, you know, riding all
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 18: the horses and roping and all of that. So that's
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 18: kind of my setting here. We are on this, you know,
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 18: beautiful ranch here and between the horses and painting and
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 18: You know, it's that's if I'm not traveling because, you know,
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 18: I try I did a residency, an art residency for
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 18: the month of August in Tuscany, Italy. So I had
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 18: just gotten back. Have you?
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 5: You love it, right?
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 1: I love I love I love watching all the places
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 1: you I love Tuscany.
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 16: But then you go to Belgium to see Bill White.
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 16: I mean, it seems like every other week is someplace else.
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 18: Yeah, because my art's been taking me. London, Paris, I'm
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 18: doing things there, too, as well as going back to Italy.
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 18: And Bill White, Ambassador Bill White, His Excellency, right? He's
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 18: doing phenomenal work there.
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 16: He's my favorite homosexual on the planet, Bill White.
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 1: I love him.
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 18: He's awesome. Me and Brian, I just love.
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, me too.
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 18: They were so gracious. They hosted me and my sister.
• 2:12:54
  Speaker 18: I brought my sister with me. We had the time
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 18: of our lives, but he hosted me there because he
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 18: has one of my paintings is currently on loan through
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 18: the U.S. Department of State's Art in Embassies program. And
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 18: Bill White and Brian picked the painting of mine that
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 18: they have in the embassy there. They picked it. They
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 18: went through and they picked that specific painting. It's called
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 18: Mystic of the West. Yeah, so I got to sleep.
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 18: They put me in the VIP bedroom there where Trump stayed,
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 18: they said, President Trump.
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 1: You love president Trump. I know you do.
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 18: I do. And, um, you know, he was very gracious.
• 2:13:30
  Speaker 18: I hadn't seen him in years. And I was in Mar-a-Lago. Um,
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 18: what was it a year and a half ago? And he, uh,
• 2:13:38
  Speaker 18: I went over, I was with Bill, Bill White too,
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 18: and he talked me for a few minutes.
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 1: But when you first walked over, not to cut you off,
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 1: but when you first walked over, knowing that at the end,
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 1: our guy Don would refer to President Trump a lot
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 1: as blubber titties, and Trump was pissed. He was legitimately pissed.
• 2:13:57
  Speaker 1: Were you a little nervous when you walked over that
• 2:14:00
  Speaker 1: maybe he wasn't going to be so nice?
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 18: No, because you know what? It showed the President's moral
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 18: character because I've had men do that to me, come
• 2:14:11
  Speaker 18: up to me, mostly men that my husband had said
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 18: something and I've had them literally take it out on
• 2:14:17
  Speaker 18: me and attack me. And I'd say to them, why
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 18: aren't you saying this to my husband? So it shows cowardice, right?
• 2:14:23
  Speaker 1: Why are you?
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 22: He can't say it right now.
• 2:14:25
  Speaker 1: He's dead.
• 2:14:25
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 1: Deidre, he's dead.
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 18: I've had... No, this is when Don was alive.
• 2:14:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, when he was alive. They're cowards.
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 18: No, when he was alive. Pussies.
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 1: They're pussies, Deidre.
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 18: No, this is when he was alive.
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 22: Yes.
• 2:14:37
  Speaker 18: And men would come up to me, and I'm telling you,
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 18: in all different ranks, politically and media, et cetera, oh,
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 18: I don't like that your husband said that, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 18: And I'd say to him, take it up with him.
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 18: He would have you on, even. Or he wouldn't hang
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 18: up on you. He would take the call if you
• 2:14:53
  Speaker 18: wanted to have it out with him.
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 1: He would. He would.
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 18: Yeah. But you know what? President Trump, when he wanted
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 18: to see me, and I went over to him. I mean,
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 18: I was there sitting at his place at Mar-a-Lago. But
• 2:15:05
  Speaker 18: he was so gracious. And the first thing he said
• 2:15:08
  Speaker 18: is he was giving me his condolences with Don in
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 18: speaking about Don in the highest regard. And then he
• 2:15:16
  Speaker 18: said to me, no one is going to be really— he
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 18: said it's going to be really hard for— someone to
• 2:15:22
  Speaker 18: fill Don's shoes. I don't know how you do. I
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 18: don't know how you do that.
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 1: That's great. That's great.
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 16: Danielle gets a lot of the same thing you get
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 16: to your husband. I like what your husband says. And
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 16: I don't know. I think she says, go up yourself
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 16: and drop dead.
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know. So with you on the way out here,
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 1: this has been great.
• 2:15:38
  Speaker 16: Please keep coming back. I love having you on, but you,
• 2:15:41
  Speaker 16: you know, you're still young and you look great.
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 1: Um, and Don's gone. I mean, Don's got a couple
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 1: of years.
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 16: Now, but I don't get the feeling Deidre that, That, again, young,
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 16: in great shape, look great.
• 2:15:53
  Speaker 1: That you have any real desire. I could be wrong.
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 1: You know, you could tell me differently. Do you have
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 1: any real desire to be with or meet someone else?
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 1: Or do you?
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 18: No, well, it's this December's seven years since Don passed.
• 2:16:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, it is seven years.
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 11: Wow.
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 18: Yeah, December 27th, 2019, he passed. right before COVID hit,
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 18: you know, for the whole world and all that happened.
• 2:16:17
  Speaker 18: But he, yeah, so this December's seven years, for the
• 2:16:21
  Speaker 18: first two years, I did not leave the ranch. I mean,
• 2:16:24
  Speaker 18: I grieved very deeply, very, it was pretty brutal. And
• 2:16:29
  Speaker 18: then came out of that by 2022, I had built
• 2:16:32
  Speaker 18: that art studio. And it was done from him passing
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 18: my first painting, which I have not shown to anyone.
• 2:16:39
  Speaker 18: No one has seen it. I'm not selling it. There's
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 18: several paintings I'm not selling. A lot of paintings I'm
• 2:16:44
  Speaker 18: not selling. But I did a painting and that was
• 2:16:47
  Speaker 18: my memoriam to him. So it was a private thing
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 18: I did, but I did this painting. And from there,
• 2:16:52
  Speaker 18: I could not stop painting. And yeah, so that was
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 18: in 2022. And then things just really snowballed. I mean, organically,
• 2:17:02
  Speaker 18: I didn't even really think I was establishing... an art career,
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 18: and it happened. It happened because I'd just been 100%
• 2:17:09
  Speaker 18: fully invested in. It is a passion. I mean, literally,
• 2:17:12
  Speaker 18: I will paint until my lungs give out. I mean,
• 2:17:14
  Speaker 18: I do feel that way. Not to be so dramatic,
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 18: but it's true. Yeah, I mean, it's so... But New
• 2:17:22
  Speaker 18: York City, I mean, Sid, you're just kicking ass there,
• 2:17:25
  Speaker 18: and I love it. But it is my favorite city
• 2:17:28
  Speaker 18: in the world. And I'm forever... I'm a New Yorker.
• 2:17:32
  Speaker 18: I love New York City. New York has been so
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 18: good to me. I met Don there. I had Wyatt
• 2:17:39
  Speaker 18: in the hospital there. And then we did all these things.
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 18: And New York City has been so good to me.
• 2:17:45
  Speaker 18: And I just love, I can't say enough about New
• 2:17:48
  Speaker 18: York City and the people there. And Bo fighting the
• 2:17:51
  Speaker 18: good fight too. I mean, you know, you guys are all,
• 2:17:55
  Speaker 18: thank God, all these New Yorkers doing the right thing.
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 18: you know, keeping it a great city. It has to be.
• 2:18:01
  Speaker 18: I mean, it's the greatest city in the world. And I,
• 2:18:03
  Speaker 18: and I love these other cities. Like I love Rome
• 2:18:05
  Speaker 18: and Paris and London.
• 2:18:07
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 2:18:07
  Speaker 18: They're great cities, but New York, New York is just,
• 2:18:10
  Speaker 18: it's got my heart put it that way.
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 1: London and Paris are a mess to be honest.
• 2:18:14
  Speaker 16: And so was New York, but, We got this awful
• 2:18:16
  Speaker 16: mayor and a horrible, you know, the whole story.
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 1: I know you know it very, very well.
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 16: But it is still a great city. And we still
• 2:18:22
  Speaker 16: love you here. And we're very, very happy you're having
• 2:18:24
  Speaker 16: great success with your art. We really are. And we're
• 2:18:27
  Speaker 16: really thrilled you're back on WABC. And now we just

• 2:18:32

• 2:18:38

  Speaker 18: Hey, I got to ask you, Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua?
• 2:18:46
  Speaker 1: Tyson Fury. What do you think?
• 2:18:49
  Speaker 18: Well, yeah. I mean, it looks like just from a
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 18: little lineup, Tyson Fury. I say Tyson Fury, too. If
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 18: they actually have the fight, right?
• 2:18:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they have to. At some point, they have to, yes.

  Speaker 1: Really?
• 2:19:30
  Speaker 18: Oh my God. I love Jordan.
• 2:19:33
  Speaker 1: You sure?
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 18: Jordan is like an, I miss already.
• 2:19:36
  Speaker 1: Oh boy.
• 2:19:38
  Speaker 18: Wyatt. We're already together. It's, it's simpatico. There's something there.
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 18: That is, you know, it's one of those things that
• 2:19:45
  Speaker 18: you know they're meant to be. It was fated. They're
• 2:19:47
  Speaker 18: meant to be together. They're meant to have this beautiful life.
• 2:19:50
  Speaker 18: They're building this beautiful life and career together. And Wyatt's
• 2:19:54
  Speaker 18: better because of her. She's better because of him. And

  Speaker 16: And you've rebounded nicely. And like I said, we love
• 2:20:27
  Speaker 16: you here. Keep coming back, okay, Deirdre? It's great to
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 16: talk to you.
• 2:20:30
  Speaker 18: Get off my phone.
• 2:20:33
  Speaker 1: That's perfect. Lou, we'll end it right there. Liz Pipko
• 2:20:42
  Speaker 1: says to me that her father has the same shirt.
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 1: I go, why would he have this shirt? I'm stupid, obviously,
• 2:20:48
  Speaker 1: because I had no idea you went to Penn also.
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 17: I did.
• 2:20:51
  Speaker 25: I think I was here before I went to my graduation.
• 2:20:54
  Speaker 25: I'm pretty sure I stopped by the show.
• 2:20:56
  Speaker 1: You did. I think you had your Buddhist girlfriend with you.
• 2:20:59
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 2:20:59
  Speaker 1: And I didn't realize that was Pennsylvania.
• 2:21:02
  Speaker 25: Yeah, I went there for my master's. And my dad
• 2:21:04
  Speaker 25: has the mug and the sweatshirt.
• 2:21:05
  Speaker 1: Me too.
• 2:21:05
  Speaker 25: But he didn't buy it. I bought it for him
• 2:21:08
  Speaker 25: and he thought I went a little crazy. And then
• 2:21:10
  Speaker 25: at my graduation when they pulled out the communist signs,
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 25: he was like, I'm not wearing any of this. But
• 2:21:14
  Speaker 25: he does own it all.
• 2:21:15
  Speaker 1: Did you get the red mug? Is the mug red
• 2:21:17
  Speaker 1: like mine?
• 2:21:17
  Speaker 25: I have a blue one and a red one.
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, look at you.
• 2:21:19
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 2:21:19
  Speaker 1: So you were there for all those years. I didn't
• 2:21:21
  Speaker 1: even know that.
• 2:21:21
  Speaker 25: Well, it was my master's.
• 2:21:22
  Speaker 1: It was just one year. It was your master's. Where
• 2:21:23
  Speaker 1: did you do undergrad again?
• 2:21:24
  Speaker 25: Harvard.
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. You're part of the problem.
• 2:21:27
  Speaker 25: I am the problem.
• 2:21:28
  Speaker 1: Jesus, Harvard, you penned.
• 2:21:30
  Speaker 25: And I still owe money to both of them.
• 2:21:31
  Speaker 1: Good, don't pay.
• 2:21:32
  Speaker 25: Actually, no, I paid off undergrad.
• 2:21:33
  Speaker 1: No, don't pay anybody. Don't pay anybody.
• 2:21:34
  Speaker 16: I'm sure President Trump will be fine if you don't
• 2:21:36
  Speaker 16: pay those two horrible places. Harvard, and although you penned,
• 2:21:40
  Speaker 16: now I feel badly because people go to me, wait
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 16: a second. Aren't you the guy on the air that's
• 2:21:44
  Speaker 16: reeling against Ivy League institutions? And I'm like, yeah, but
• 2:21:47
  Speaker 16: it's my daughter. It's the third highest ranked law school
• 2:21:50
  Speaker 16: in the country.
• 2:21:52
  Speaker 25: It's complicated because I do think the law school, first
• 2:21:54
  Speaker 25: of all, is amazing. Second of all, I think it
• 2:21:56
  Speaker 25: depends on the student. Third of all, yes, right now,
• 2:21:58
  Speaker 25: if my daughter was 18 and said, I'm going to
• 2:22:00
  Speaker 25: these schools, we'd have a little bit of a problem.
• 2:22:02
  Speaker 1: Even the law school, not the undergrad?
• 2:22:04
  Speaker 25: The law school's better. The undergrad is insane.
• 2:22:06
  Speaker 3: Terrible.
• 2:22:09
  Speaker 25: That doesn't help either. I was on campus. I got
• 2:22:11
  Speaker 25: an A in every class. I fought everything off. I
• 2:22:13
  Speaker 25: got scholarships. I actually have the Donald J. Deutsch Scholarship Award,
• 2:22:17
  Speaker 25: and he's the one who thinks Trump is Hitler.
• 2:22:19
  Speaker 1: Donny Deutsch?
• 2:22:19
  Speaker 25: I got the scholarship in his name. I don't think
• 2:22:21
  Speaker 25: he realizes that.
• 2:22:22
  Speaker 1: I think he's come around a little bit on Trump.
• 2:22:23
  Speaker 1: A little bit.
• 2:22:24
  Speaker 25: I hope so. It doesn't matter.
• 2:22:25
  Speaker 1: He's actually a good buy-in for the Jews, Donny Deutsch.
• 2:22:27
  Speaker 25: He is, but I thought it was very funny.
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 1: That is funny.
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 25: He had no idea that I won the scholarship his
• 2:22:30
  Speaker 25: family gave to the school.
• 2:22:31
  Speaker 1: I had no idea he went there also.
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 25: Yeah, I think his whole family.
• 2:22:33
  Speaker 1: He was very connected.
• 2:22:34
  Speaker 25: The only people I knew.
• 2:22:34
  Speaker 16: That went there were President Trump, Warren Buffett, and I
• 2:22:38
  Speaker 16: think Elon Musk.
• 2:22:39
  Speaker 25: Elon Musk.
• 2:22:39
  Speaker 1: Ava Rosenberg.
• 2:22:40
  Speaker 25: Some of the president's kids.
• 2:22:41
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 2:22:42
  Speaker 25: I had a great time. I'm not going to criticize anyone.
• 2:22:44
  Speaker 25: I still read over my essay sometimes when I'm bored
• 2:22:46
  Speaker 25: because I liked the work that I did there. I
• 2:22:48
  Speaker 25: love school.
• 2:22:50
  Speaker 1: School's great.
• 2:22:50
  Speaker 25: Yeah, and I hope to go to law school one day.
• 2:22:52
  Speaker 25: Maybe Penn.
• 2:22:52
  Speaker 1: Who knows? Wow, that would be amazing. It's a beautiful
• 2:22:56
  Speaker 1: law school, and it's a great little place. Although, you're
• 2:22:59
  Speaker 1: not that far from... Let's just say a rough neighborhood.
• 2:23:05
  Speaker 1: So I put my daughter in an apartment. I'm like,
• 2:23:07
  Speaker 1: the actual campus is gorgeous.
• 2:23:09
  Speaker 18: Right.
• 2:23:10
  Speaker 1: Old buildings, a lot of foliage. I mean, it's like
• 2:23:13
  Speaker 1: walking through Michigan. Same thing. My sister went to Michigan.
• 2:23:16
  Speaker 1: But if you get lost a couple of blocks by UPenn.
• 2:23:18
  Speaker 25: Even if you don't get lost, just walking home. We
• 2:23:21
  Speaker 25: were there for my graduation. I lost my lipstick and
• 2:23:23
  Speaker 25: I sent my brother and Darren lipstick. out to get
• 2:23:25
  Speaker 25: it and they texted me and they said, we can't
• 2:23:27
  Speaker 25: because we're at the drugstore and everything is locked up.
• 2:23:29
  Speaker 18: Yes.
• 2:23:29
  Speaker 25: They're closing in five minutes. I'm scared to walk home
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 25: and you're not getting any lipstick.
• 2:23:32
  Speaker 1: Well, Philadelphia is much like New York City. Same thing.
• 2:23:34
  Speaker 25: It was actually worse.
• 2:23:35
  Speaker 1: Worse, huh?
• 2:23:36
  Speaker 25: It was really bad.
• 2:23:37
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 2:23:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 2:23:38
  Speaker 1: But you like Shapiro, no? The Jewish governor, no?
• 2:23:41
  Speaker 25: When you say like him.
• 2:23:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:23:43
  Speaker 25: He's not a raging Marxist, but I don't like him.
• 2:23:45
  Speaker 1: You don't like him.
• 2:23:46
  Speaker 18: No.
• 2:23:46
  Speaker 1: So do you only and I'm guilty of this, so
• 2:23:48
  Speaker 1: it's fine. You only like Republicans.
• 2:23:51
  Speaker 25: No, I only like Donald Trump.
• 2:23:52
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 2:23:53
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 2:23:53
  Speaker 1: You don't even like. No, you love Marco Rubio.
• 2:23:56
  Speaker 25: No, I think he's a great secretary of state.
• 2:23:58
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 2:23:58
  Speaker 25: But the love I have and appreciation I have for
• 2:24:00
  Speaker 25: what President Trump has done to politics, to America, to
• 2:24:03
  Speaker 25: my own family. That is reserved solely for the president.
• 2:24:06
  Speaker 25: Someone else could win me over, but right now it's
• 2:24:09
  Speaker 25: solely Donald Trump.
• 2:24:09
  Speaker 11: Wow.
• 2:24:09
  Speaker 1: So you may never love a president again.
• 2:24:12
  Speaker 10: I won't.
• 2:24:13
  Speaker 25: There's no way.
• 2:24:13
  Speaker 18: Oh, my.
• 2:24:14
  Speaker 1: You know, I may be in the same boat. I
• 2:24:15
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 2:24:15
  Speaker 25: You totally are in the same boat.
• 2:24:17
  Speaker 1: No, I like Marco Rubio a lot.
• 2:24:18
  Speaker 25: I like a lot of people.
• 2:24:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't have sex with Rubio. I would
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 1: with Trump. Is that gay, Lou, by the way?
• 2:24:22
  Speaker 25: That's a lot.
• 2:24:23
  Speaker 1: No, I've never got to be gay. Name the people again.
• 2:24:27
  Speaker 1: Liz Pipko goes, that's a lot. I don't think you
• 2:24:30
  Speaker 1: would get that on Trace Gallagher. I don't know.
• 2:24:33
  Speaker 25: We don't talk about sex a lot on Fox News.
• 2:24:34
  Speaker 1: Why not? You're pretty. You know, they want to desperately.
• 2:24:38
  Speaker 1: If you're on Jesse Watershow, you do. I can promise
• 2:24:40
  Speaker 1: you that. Have you done his show in a while?
• 2:24:43
  Speaker 25: Not recently, but I've done in the past a bunch
• 2:24:45
  Speaker 25: for sure.
• 2:24:45
  Speaker 1: I did in the past too.
• 2:24:46
  Speaker 22: He's very nice.
• 2:24:46
  Speaker 11: That's true.
• 2:24:47
  Speaker 16: Then he stopped bringing me on because he was getting
• 2:24:49
  Speaker 16: emails that said that other guy's better looking and smarter.
• 2:24:51
  Speaker 1: And he said, okay, that's the end of that. That
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 1: must be it.
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 2:24:53
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm in a war with Fox News now. You
• 2:24:54
  Speaker 1: know that, right?
• 2:24:55
  Speaker 19: Are you?
• 2:24:56
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 2:24:56
  Speaker 5: They banned me.
• 2:24:57
  Speaker 25: Is that official? Do they tell you?
• 2:24:59
  Speaker 1: Well, they haven't told me.
• 2:25:01
  Speaker 16: No, we know because some big talent at that station said,
• 2:25:05
  Speaker 16: be prepared to take a seat for about six months.
• 2:25:08
  Speaker 25: That's not a ban.
• 2:25:09
  Speaker 1: That's not a ban.
• 2:25:10
  Speaker 25: Maybe you're just too cool and they need a little
• 2:25:12
  Speaker 25: little break.
• 2:25:13
  Speaker 16: No, the problem is that that TV network and Trump
• 2:25:17
  Speaker 16: said this yesterday on Truth Social.
• 2:25:19
  Speaker 1: Did you see his post? I did.
• 2:25:20
  Speaker 25: I see all his posts.
• 2:25:21
  Speaker 1: Why is Schumer on all the time? Why is Jill
• 2:25:24
  Speaker 1: Brand on? Why is, what's his name, the other speaker,
• 2:25:27
  Speaker 1: that moron, Hakeem Jeffries on, Harold Ford Jr. and Melissa DeRosa.
• 2:25:33
  Speaker 1: I like you, Melissa. Calm down. Take it easy.
• 2:25:35
  Speaker 16: All these Democrats are on, but they fired Maria Bartiromo
• 2:25:38
  Speaker 16: and said, I'm banned.
• 2:25:39
  Speaker 1: For six months.
• 2:25:41
  Speaker 16: And I know I don't want to get you into
• 2:25:42
  Speaker 16: trouble because you like going on there. We'll get back
• 2:25:44
  Speaker 16: to them just so you know. But it doesn't make
• 2:25:46
  Speaker 16: any sense.
• 2:25:46
  Speaker 25: I mean, they do have me on almost every day.
• 2:25:48
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 2:25:49
  Speaker 25: They're definitely keeping it even.
• 2:25:50
  Speaker 5: It's too easy.
• 2:25:51
  Speaker 25: I say some things.
• 2:25:52
  Speaker 1: No, you're great looking.
• 2:25:54
  Speaker 25: Thank you.
• 2:25:54
  Speaker 1: The president loves you.
• 2:25:55
  Speaker 25: Hopefully.
• 2:25:56
  Speaker 1: You're easy. And you do say some things, but you're
• 2:25:58
  Speaker 1: not an idiot like me. You're not going to call
• 2:26:00
  Speaker 1: the mayor a terrorist. You'll never do something like that.
• 2:26:02
  Speaker 1: Or would you?
• 2:26:03
  Speaker 25: I mean, I do think he's a little bit of
• 2:26:04
  Speaker 25: a terrorist. I think he loves terrorism. I don't know
• 2:26:08
  Speaker 25: what there is to say.
• 2:26:09
  Speaker 1: That means you're a terrorist.
• 2:26:10
  Speaker 25: I think he married a woman who publicly celebrated terrorism.
• 2:26:12
  Speaker 17: Right.
• 2:26:12
  Speaker 1: That means you're a terrorist. People get so mad at me.
• 2:26:15
  Speaker 1: For what? He's best friends with Mahmoud Khalil, who was
• 2:26:19
  Speaker 1: asked two days ago.
• 2:26:20
  Speaker 25: You want to laugh? I was at CNN the other day,
• 2:26:22
  Speaker 25: and in the makeup seat next to me is Mahmoud
• 2:26:24
  Speaker 25: Khalil at CNN.
• 2:26:25
  Speaker 9: You're kidding me.
• 2:26:26
  Speaker 25: Yeah, I texted Darren and I was like, do you
• 2:26:28
  Speaker 25: see how lucky I am? The opportunities I get.
• 2:26:30
  Speaker 1: Did you talk to him?
• 2:26:31
  Speaker 25: I did not. I'm about to get screamed at for
• 2:26:34
  Speaker 25: an hour on CNN. I can't take Mahmoud Khalil at
• 2:26:36
  Speaker 25: the same time.
• 2:26:36
  Speaker 1: Did you realize that day he refused to condemn Hamas?
• 2:26:39
  Speaker 1: Even said Hamas was a litmus test. So you're the mayor,
• 2:26:44
  Speaker 1: you're friends with this guy, and I'm a bad guy?
• 2:26:46
  Speaker 25: Doesn't the mayor refuse to condemn Hamas?
• 2:26:48
  Speaker 1: Yes!
• 2:26:48
  Speaker 25: Yeah, this is not surprising.
• 2:26:49
  Speaker 1: So I call him a terrorist and I'm a bad guy?
• 2:26:51
  Speaker 1: How is that? Did you see the mayor's video on
• 2:26:53
  Speaker 1: anti-Semitism two days ago?
• 2:26:55
  Speaker 25: I saw it going viral. To be honest, I couldn't
• 2:26:57
  Speaker 25: watch it. I saw two seconds.
• 2:26:59
  Speaker 1: You thought it was ridiculous, right?
• 2:27:00
  Speaker 25: His wife publicly celebrated the slaughter of Jews. I don't
• 2:27:03
  Speaker 25: really care what he thinks about anti-Semitism.
• 2:27:05
  Speaker 18: It's not.
• 2:27:06
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 2:27:06
  Speaker 25: If my husband was celebrating the slaughter of innocent people,
• 2:27:09
  Speaker 25: I would have left him.
• 2:27:10
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 2:27:10
  Speaker 1: He wouldn't be your husband.
• 2:27:11
  Speaker 18: Right.
• 2:27:11
  Speaker 25: And no one would wonder if I like terrorism or
• 2:27:13
  Speaker 25: not because I would have left him.
• 2:27:14
  Speaker 1: Well, that's very handsome, your husband.
• 2:27:16
  Speaker 25: He's incredibly handsome.
• 2:27:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a cute kid.
• 2:27:18
  Speaker 25: So he can get away with it.
• 2:27:19
  Speaker 1: He's very handsome. Is he incredibly handsome?
• 2:27:22
  Speaker 25: I think so.
• 2:27:23
  Speaker 1: You think he's the best looking man in the world today?
• 2:27:26
  Speaker 25: After marrying me, he became the best looking man in
• 2:27:28
  Speaker 25: the world today.
• 2:27:28
  Speaker 1: He is a very cute guy.
• 2:27:29
  Speaker 16: I love your husband a lot. And your baby's gorgeous, too.
• 2:27:31
  Speaker 16: So I'm happy to hear that.
• 2:27:33
  Speaker 1: So you're doing CNN. You're doing Fox News.
• 2:27:36
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 2:27:36
  Speaker 1: So you are, at this point, your career is television.
• 2:27:39
  Speaker 5: I think so.
• 2:27:40
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 2:27:40
  Speaker 1: Is that going to be it moving forward?
• 2:27:43
  Speaker 25: It might be. I'm shocked that we're here, considering I
• 2:27:46
  Speaker 25: was bullied for being hideous for much of my teenage life.
• 2:27:49
  Speaker 25: So it's nice payback. But yeah, I think it might be.
• 2:27:51
  Speaker 1: It is good payback, right? Yes.
• 2:27:52
  Speaker 16: So do you still have designs on being the White
• 2:27:55
  Speaker 16: House press secretary?
• 2:27:57
  Speaker 1: Don't you dare roll your eyes at me.
• 2:27:59
  Speaker 25: The amount of people that want to talk about this.
• 2:28:00
  Speaker 1: Don't you dare roll your eyes at me.
• 2:28:01
  Speaker 25: Anything Donald Trump asks me to do, I will do.
• 2:28:04
  Speaker 25: If that's what he thinks would be helpful, I.
• 2:28:05
  Speaker 1: Will do it. Would you ask him, though?
• 2:28:06
  Speaker 16: Would you say, hey, Mr. President, I've got to be honest.
• 2:28:08
  Speaker 16: I'm the right girl for the job.
• 2:28:09
  Speaker 1: If he asked Scott Jennings, would you text him and go,
• 2:28:11
  Speaker 1: what are you doing? I don't think.
• 2:28:14
  Speaker 25: He would hire scott he would not i just is.
• 2:28:16
  Speaker 1: Even i've heard nothing about this position.
• 2:28:19
  Speaker 25: I honestly i think and i think correctly we are
• 2:28:22
  Speaker 25: so insanely focused on midterms every single republican should be
• 2:28:25
  Speaker 25: i am so sick of the narrative of the polls
• 2:28:27
  Speaker 25: and the this and the nonsense yeah the country hangs
• 2:28:29
  Speaker 25: on what happens in november donald trump might personally as
• 2:28:31
  Speaker 25: well because lord knows what democrats do to him when
• 2:28:33
  Speaker 25: they have power right it's a very very very important
• 2:28:36
  Speaker 25: election i'm not just worried about the president i'm worried
• 2:28:38
  Speaker 25: about a country that is blocking towards socialism.
• 2:28:41
  Speaker 1: Well said.
• 2:28:41
  Speaker 25: We are focused on midterms. Everyone is.
• 2:28:43
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:28:44
  Speaker 16: So you don't think Maria Bartiromo is getting that job?
• 2:28:46
  Speaker 16: I did see her at the White House a couple.
• 2:28:47
  Speaker 1: Of weeks ago. I'm just saying.
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 25: I don't think she's getting that job. I think she's
• 2:28:50
  Speaker 25: much above any kind of job like that.
• 2:28:52
  Speaker 1: So she's above it, but you're not?
• 2:28:54
  Speaker 25: Yeah, she's a freaking icon.
• 2:28:55
  Speaker 1: So are you.
• 2:28:56
  Speaker 25: I'm cool in my own way, but no, Maria deserves
• 2:28:59
  Speaker 25: her own show.
• 2:29:00
  Speaker 1: I like it. I like the praise and the respect.
• 2:29:03
  Speaker 1: She is amazing. I love her, too. I love her.
• 2:29:05
  Speaker 1: But you're right about the midterms. So what is your,
• 2:29:07
  Speaker 1: I know you say you don't listen to all the nonsense,
• 2:29:10
  Speaker 1: but almost everybody you speak to, Republicans, say we're in
• 2:29:14
  Speaker 1: bad shape here. You don't believe that at all?
• 2:29:17
  Speaker 25: I believe that it's midterms and historically speaking, the party
• 2:29:20
  Speaker 25: that's in power usually loses. I know the stats. I
• 2:29:23
  Speaker 25: believe that. But I also was there on Election Day
• 2:29:26
  Speaker 25: in 2016 when I was told there was, I think
• 2:29:28
  Speaker 25: the New York Times said 98% chance Hillary Clinton became president.
• 2:29:31
  Speaker 1: I think she was up 11 points that morning.
• 2:29:33
  Speaker 25: She was up about 15 across. I mean, really, the
• 2:29:35
  Speaker 25: New York Times said you have a 2% chance, Donald Trump.
• 2:29:38
  Speaker 25: He came in and talked to all of us after
• 2:29:39
  Speaker 25: he voted and said, we're going to win tonight. And
• 2:29:41
  Speaker 25: I think even in the room, people might have been laughing. Like, truly,
• 2:29:44
  Speaker 25: no one believed in that man.
• 2:29:46
  Speaker 1: He didn't believe that. He did. He won 100.
• 2:29:48
  Speaker 25: I'm telling you right now, he did.
• 2:29:49
  Speaker 1: Listen to me.
• 2:29:50
  Speaker 25: You could not do the craziness.
• 2:29:51
  Speaker 1: He said, Melania, believe I just won this. Who would
• 2:29:53
  Speaker 1: have thought that?
• 2:29:54
  Speaker 25: You could not do the craziness that man has done
• 2:29:56
  Speaker 25: and put up with it if you don't believe in yourself.
• 2:29:58
  Speaker 25: It's a level of faith in yourself that I can't fathom.
• 2:30:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure how to believe in the country and
• 2:30:03
  Speaker 1: the voters, that's all.
• 2:30:04
  Speaker 25: He genuinely did.
• 2:30:05
  Speaker 1: So he wasn't surprised?
• 2:30:06
  Speaker 25: No, I'm telling you he wasn't. Everyone on that campaign was.
• 2:30:10
  Speaker 25: I'm sick of people that I meet now telling me
• 2:30:12
  Speaker 25: that they knew it was going to happen when I
• 2:30:13
  Speaker 25: watch them planning their plan B that they told me
• 2:30:16
  Speaker 25: about the whole time. But that man believed in himself.
• 2:30:18
  Speaker 25: He's the reason any one of us has the courage
• 2:30:20
  Speaker 25: to believe in ourselves. He's incredible.
• 2:30:22
  Speaker 22: He knew.
• 2:30:23
  Speaker 25: Nobody else knew. And so I don't believe any poll.
• 2:30:25
  Speaker 25: I don't believe anything until I see results on midterm.
• 2:30:27
  Speaker 1: So do you get.
• 2:30:28
  Speaker 16: Upset now when ardent Trump supporters, even MAGA people, are
• 2:30:31
  Speaker 16: critical of him, whether it's Iran? whether it's, and I've
• 2:30:34
  Speaker 16: been critical of him, this Mamdani relationship, which is really nauseating.
• 2:30:38
  Speaker 1: And I know he loves New York and he's got
• 2:30:39
  Speaker 1: his reasons, but he's got to stop. I'm begging you.
• 2:30:41
  Speaker 16: You can do that without lathering on the compliments. Again,
• 2:30:45
  Speaker 16: he said it yesterday.
• 2:30:46
  Speaker 1: I think this guy is great. Great at what? So
• 2:30:49
  Speaker 1: he can do that, but just kind of scale it
• 2:30:52
  Speaker 1: back a little bit. But are you surprised to see,
• 2:30:55
  Speaker 1: not Democrats, but so many Republicans stabbing Donald Trump in
• 2:30:58
  Speaker 1: the back?
• 2:30:59
  Speaker 25: No, because I saw it in 2016. You did? Because
• 2:31:01
  Speaker 25: no one is loyal in politics. People know that he's
• 2:31:04
  Speaker 25: out in two years regardless of what happens in midterms.
• 2:31:07
  Speaker 25: They're focused on their paychecks and their clicks on Twitter
• 2:31:09
  Speaker 25: and their friendship circles. No one wants to be attached
• 2:31:13
  Speaker 25: to Donald Trump if someone else is president in two years.
• 2:31:15
  Speaker 25: They want to move on. They want to go viral.
• 2:31:17
  Speaker 25: They're all losers.
• 2:31:18
  Speaker 10: Losers.
• 2:31:19
  Speaker 25: No one would have put up with... The crap that
• 2:31:22
  Speaker 25: we've put up with for 10 years, what it means
• 2:31:23
  Speaker 25: to be a real Trump supporter.
• 2:31:25
  Speaker 1: So politicians, influencers, TV people.
• 2:31:29
  Speaker 25: A lot of losers.
• 2:31:30
  Speaker 1: Lady in your building who likes Mom Donnie now. Losers.
• 2:31:34
  Speaker 25: Look, it's really hard to be a Trump supporter consistently
• 2:31:37
  Speaker 25: over the last 10 years. I mean, the FBI tried
• 2:31:39
  Speaker 25: to lock up my family. I've been spit on in synagogue.
• 2:31:42
  Speaker 25: I've been spit on in school. I've been yelled at
• 2:31:43
  Speaker 25: on the street. I have death threats every single day.
• 2:31:45
  Speaker 25: You have the same thing.
• 2:31:46
  Speaker 1: Same thing.
• 2:31:46
  Speaker 25: I mean, it's been a really long 10 years. And
• 2:31:48
  Speaker 25: I think unless you've been loyal the whole time, I
• 2:31:50
  Speaker 25: don't really care what you have to say. At the
• 2:31:52
  Speaker 25: same time, you should criticize your government always. This is America.
• 2:31:55
  Speaker 25: Freedom of speech. I love it. But those that do
• 2:31:57
  Speaker 25: it for clicks online who claim they were a supporter,
• 2:31:59
  Speaker 25: who used the president for pictures, who went to the
• 2:32:01
  Speaker 25: White House, who wanted to sell books because of the
• 2:32:04
  Speaker 25: association with him and then turn on him for more
• 2:32:06
  Speaker 25: followers and attention, I think that's really gross.
• 2:32:08
  Speaker 1: That's not you at all, by the way. It's the opposite. No,
• 2:32:10
  Speaker 1: I love him.
• 2:32:12
  Speaker 25: You actually take heat when you criticize the administration. You're
• 2:32:15
  Speaker 25: not doing it for clicks.
• 2:32:16
  Speaker 1: I take heat.
• 2:32:16
  Speaker 25: It's the polar opposite.
• 2:32:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I get yelled at.
• 2:32:18
  Speaker 25: Very different.
• 2:32:19
  Speaker 1: But I do it because I love him. And I
• 2:32:20
  Speaker 1: don't like to see the negative stuff come his way.
• 2:32:23
  Speaker 1: So you're in your building. And you feel about Mom
• 2:32:26
  Speaker 1: Donnie the same way that I do. We just had
• 2:32:27
  Speaker 1: that conversation. And a lady says to you, I didn't
• 2:32:31
  Speaker 1: like him. In fact, I disliked him. But now I'm
• 2:32:35
  Speaker 1: starting to like him. And I told you this off
• 2:32:36
  Speaker 1: the air. I hear that a lot these days.
• 2:32:38
  Speaker 25: I've heard it quite a bit. He's not that bad.
• 2:32:41
  Speaker 1: Right, he's not that bad.
• 2:32:42
  Speaker 18: Why?
• 2:32:42
  Speaker 1: What has he done well?
• 2:32:44
  Speaker 25: I mean, nothing.
• 2:32:44
  Speaker 18: Nothing.
• 2:32:45
  Speaker 25: Truly.
• 2:32:45
  Speaker 16: He frees the rents. That starts today. He's being sued
• 2:32:48
  Speaker 16: by Randy Mastro. Okay, that was one promise he was
• 2:32:51
  Speaker 16: able to keep. Otherwise, what has this mayor done that
• 2:32:55
  Speaker 16: speaks to... Yeah, he's pretty good.
• 2:32:57
  Speaker 25: Actually, I was at CNN, I mentioned the other day,
• 2:32:59
  Speaker 25: another Democrat, sure, but who said that they were Team Cuomo,
• 2:33:02
  Speaker 25: didn't like him, and now they believe he's done a
• 2:33:03
  Speaker 25: good job. I hear this almost every day. I don't
• 2:33:06
  Speaker 25: know what they're looking at. Maybe they thought Jews would
• 2:33:08
  Speaker 25: just be slaughtered, like beheaded in the street in front
• 2:33:10
  Speaker 25: of them, and that hasn't happened yet. But I don't know.
• 2:33:13
  Speaker 25: First of all, I don't know what any mayor of
• 2:33:15
  Speaker 25: New York has done for the last how many years?
• 2:33:17
  Speaker 1: Well, the last three have been terrible.
• 2:33:18
  Speaker 25: Yeah, I haven't really seen much.
• 2:33:19
  Speaker 1: De Blasio, Adams, and this clown are all terrible. Three
• 2:33:22
  Speaker 1: in a row.
• 2:33:23
  Speaker 25: So if you really think about it, it's the same thing.
• 2:33:25
  Speaker 25: You could tell me Eric Adams is still in there.
• 2:33:26
  Speaker 25: I wouldn't know the difference. Nothing's happened.
• 2:33:28
  Speaker 1: You're right about that.
• 2:33:28
  Speaker 25: Tell me De Blasio's in there. I wouldn't know the difference.
• 2:33:31
  Speaker 16: So about a minute ago, you live in Florida with
• 2:33:34
  Speaker 16: your gorgeous husband and your beautiful baby. But you still
• 2:33:37
  Speaker 16: live here. You have your apartment here. You come back
• 2:33:39
  Speaker 16: here often, thank God, because you get to see you
• 2:33:40
  Speaker 16: and put you on the air.
• 2:33:41
  Speaker 1: You've always said to me, Sid, I'm a New Yorker.
• 2:33:45
  Speaker 1: Are you saying that less and less these days?
• 2:33:47
  Speaker 18: Hey, I am.
• 2:33:49
  Speaker 25: Mostly because I had a baby and she deserves better
• 2:33:51
  Speaker 25: than to walk down the street learning how to walk
• 2:33:53
  Speaker 25: next to homeless people. B, I'm waiting for you to
• 2:33:55
  Speaker 25: run for mayor. That'll welcome me back.
• 2:33:57
  Speaker 1: You want me to do that?
• 2:33:58
  Speaker 25: I really do. I think a lot of people do, actually.
• 2:34:00
  Speaker 1: I get it almost every day. I swear to God.
• 2:34:02
  Speaker 25: I think the president would support it.
• 2:34:03
  Speaker 1: You think so?
• 2:34:04
  Speaker 25: I really do. And then we'd all be New Yorkers
• 2:34:06
  Speaker 25: once again.
• 2:34:06
  Speaker 1: And then I'd be broke. Well, maybe not. Explain this
• 2:34:09
  Speaker 1: to me. Everybody who gains office in all these cities
• 2:34:11
  Speaker 1: are wealthy. That's true. Much wealthier than me.
• 2:34:13
  Speaker 25: By the way, they know how to do it. You're
• 2:34:15
  Speaker 25: friends with a lot of them. Ask them how to
• 2:34:17
  Speaker 25: break the system.
• 2:34:17
  Speaker 1: I know some of them.
• 2:34:18
  Speaker 25: Yeah, that's what they do. Only Donald Trump, by the way,
• 2:34:21
  Speaker 25: went in and left with less money. The rest of
• 2:34:24
  Speaker 25: them do the polar opposite.
• 2:34:25
  Speaker 1: And they got very wealthy.
• 2:34:26
  Speaker 16: So are you still considering maybe a Congress run or
• 2:34:29

• 2:34:30
  Speaker 1: Because I think you'd be great. Thank you.
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 25: I do hear it a lot. I want to see
• 2:34:33
  Speaker 25: what AOC decides to do.
• 2:34:34
  Speaker 1: So if AOC decides to run against Schumer, will you run?
• 2:34:39
  Speaker 25: I think she might need a worthy opponent on the
• 2:34:41
  Speaker 25: other side.
• 2:34:41
  Speaker 1: Then you may do that. I might. Oh, that would
• 2:34:42
  Speaker 1: be fantastic. God, I'd love that. Lizzie, you look like
• 2:34:45
  Speaker 1: a million bucks.
