  Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to this weekend, even though I'm not
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: fully ready for it. As I'm sure you know, watching
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: Danielle train so many years, doing 41. That's unbelievable. This
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: will be my 16th. You got to get on a
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: super long run. And I barely got in the long run.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, she did it. She did a couple of 20s
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: and some 22s. She actually smoked me. Yeah, I know.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: We live in Queens. You go into the city and
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: run with these runners groups. But now she's doing the
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: tapered down week. Now you've done 16. I know you've
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: done New York a bunch. I know you've done Israel
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: a bunch. What others have you done?
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: So this will be my eighth New York City, which
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: I'm excited about. At least I have her on that one,
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: at least. So I did do Israel. I heard you
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: say Big Sur, which is an amazing one out there
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: on the West Coast, runs on the Pacific Coast Highway.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Beautiful.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: I did the three Abbott majors in the state. So
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: I did, obviously, New York, Chicago, and Boston. I was
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: scheduled to do Tokyo and start to do the international one,
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: but COVID hit. So I signed up to go in 2020,
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: and then they were telling me, yeah, you probably can
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: get over to Tokyo, but you're probably not going to
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: be able to come home. So I postponed it, and
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: I haven't gotten back around to do it. I did Paris,
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: which was gorgeous. I mean, it was just beautiful running
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: through that city and seeing all the sights and the sounds.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: And that was a good one. I did New Jersey
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: because obviously I live in New Jersey. And there was
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: one other one I've done. I can't remember now.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Pretty good. Pretty good, though. That's a pretty good list.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Israel was fun. I know you've been over to Israel
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: a lot and I'm sure you've walked a lot over there.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: It is punitive, man.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: It is hikes.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think 1100 feet up ultimately as you
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: go through it. But I tell you, one of the
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: best sites I had ever running a marathon was at
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: mile 10 in the Jerusalem Marathon. You're standing on top
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: of the mountain, basically, and you're looking down at the
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: wailing wall and the dome of the rock. It's just
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: this unbelievable view. So, I mean, I love marathoning for
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: the experience, but it's also for the people. And so
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: I'm sure you'll say this coming up in the weekend.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: I know Danielle appreciates this. Congratulations to all those people
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: that are running 60-plus thousand, I think, this year in
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: the 50th anniversary of the new course of the New
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: York City Marathon. It's going to be an amazing Sunday,
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: and I think we're actually in pretty good weather. So
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: it's going to be awesome.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: There he is, one of just six running backs in
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: the history of the NFL to emerge at least 5,000
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: rushing yards and 5,000 receiving yards out of the backfield.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: For a while there, number 21 was the most unstoppable
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: offensive player, not just in Giant history, but in the NFL.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I say this to this day, the two most versatile
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: running backs I've ever seen. ever, Marshall Falk and Tiki Barber.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: But Tiki there talking about the marathon, I believe he's
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: one of three very famous people that have won this
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: race on Sunday. Tiki Barber, Jennifer Connelly, she won the
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Academy Award, great actress, and Danielle Rosenberg, my wife. 60,000
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: runners coming up on Sunday. It is a glorious day.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: The weather is going to be great. Tiki's right. And
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: it's just an amazing accomplishment. I think Steve Sharippa's wife, Steve,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Bobby Bacala, Sopranos, Anthony Bluebloods. His lovely wife is running
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: it again. So lots of New Yorkers will be celebrating.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I'll be out there with my kids on Sunday. And
• 3:39

  Speaker 2: So I think the most popular interview I've done all
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: week so far, former New York football giant, great running back,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Tiki Barber. Now, we did talk about the Giants and J.J. McCarthy,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: the Giants, have a bye week this week. First place, 4-2-1,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: they look great. But 95% of that interview, we talked
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: about the marathon.
• 9:26
  Speaker 12: Why?
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Because Tiki and my beautiful wife, Danielle, are both running Sunday.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: It'll be marathon, New York marathon number seven for Danielle,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: number eight for Tiki, But overall, Danielle's got Tiki beat
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: 41 to 17. So I spoke to Tiki last night.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: He's going to meet Danielle in the NYPD tent. She
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: runs for the cops for Tom Biggers every year and
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: have a nice little chat before the big race on Sunday.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Then yesterday I spoke to Lara Trump. I said, have
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: you run the marathon? She said, yes. I've done it twice.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I want to do it again. So the question is,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: my main man, Brian Kilmeade, does a great job following
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: me each and every morning here on ABC at 10,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Fox and Friends every morning, his own amazing show, 10 p.m.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Sunday nights, One Nation. Brian Kilmeade, have you ever run
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: the New York City Marathon?
• 10:25
  Speaker 13: No, but I did the Long Island Marathon. And that's
• 10:28
  Speaker 13: much harder because it's so boring. I mean, you literally
• 10:31
  Speaker 13: are in Wontore Parkway by yourself running in the rain
• 10:34
  Speaker 13: in May. So, and I ran that once, three hours
• 10:38
  Speaker 13: and 48 minutes. That was like, I wanted to check
• 10:41
  Speaker 13: the box. So I checked that box. I have not
• 10:44
  Speaker 13: really felt the thirst to run. I don't think I've
• 10:47
  Speaker 13: run over 10 miles since. I try to keep it
• 10:49
  Speaker 13: like five. So for your wife to have that dedication
• 10:53
  Speaker 13: to run that race, you know, she's a world-class athlete. So,
• 10:57
  Speaker 13: I mean, for him, basically just rolls.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Out of bed.
• 11:00
  Speaker 13: But to train like that and to do that main
• 11:02
  Speaker 13: marathon is just unbelievable. So do you basically raise your
• 11:05
  Speaker 13: children on your own while your wife trained?
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, basically. Now, she goes so early in the morning,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: it doesn't even matter. She gets up at like 4, 4.30
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: in the morning. So by the time everybody wakes up, yeah. Oh, yeah.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: 18 miles, 20 miles, 22 miles. She's been doing this forever.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: 41 marathons. That's a lot. So now you got about 60,000
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: runners this Sunday. I know Jessica Tisch is very hard
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: at work keeping New York safe. So this becomes, while
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: it's a beautiful day, I think it's the greatest one-day
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: event all year in New York City. I really do.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: It does become a terror threat with that many people
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: running in the five boroughs.
• 11:45
  Speaker 13: And that's what they're, you know, they're planning for anything.
• 11:47
  Speaker 13: You know, all you need is one block, one idiot.
• 11:50
  Speaker 13: in a city this big and we see plenty of
• 11:52
  Speaker 13: idiots you know the same morons they try to kill
• 11:55
  Speaker 13: you in the subway throw you on the street doesn't
• 11:56
  Speaker 13: mean everyone's trying to throw you on the tracks doesn't
• 11:58
  Speaker 13: mean everyone's trying to harass you but you only need
• 12:01
  Speaker 13: one but i think we're okay i mean new york
• 12:04
  Speaker 13: city can do this yeah i'm pretty pretty uh you
• 12:06
  Speaker 13: know especially with jessica tish and george so no politics
• 12:10
  Speaker 13: i think she's going to be fine I think we're
• 12:12
  Speaker 13: going to keep on with the race. The big question is,
• 12:14
  Speaker 13: I have a book signing in Pennsylvania, and I got
• 12:17
  Speaker 13: to get to work to do the show live. How
• 12:19
  Speaker 13: much traffic will I hit?
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: It's going to be brutal. We don't want people to
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: get out of my way.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: Brutal.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Just trust me. It's going to be brutal. There's my answer.
• 12:27
  Speaker 13: What do I do? Go to New Jersey and take
• 12:29
  Speaker 13: a train?
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: I think so.
• 12:30
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: That's your best bet. I think you're screwed, Brian.
• 12:34
  Speaker 12: Wow.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're going to have a... What time is it?
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Was it in three?
• 12:39
  Speaker 14: Yes.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Around that time, around 3 o'clock. All right, you've got
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: a long day ahead of you on Sunday. But you
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: talked about running the marathon on Long Island. And Long
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Island has a big night Tuesday night. I believe it's
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: going to be the Lannan in Eisenhower Park. That's where
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman and all the big Long Island folks, Joe Cairo,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Peter King. You got Janine Driscoll running against Gillen. You
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: got LaPetri running against Swazi. All those folks will be
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: at the Lanin on Tuesday night, hopefully celebrating a Bruce
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Blakeman win. But outside of his own internal polls, there's
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: nothing out there that suggests that Blakeman is going to
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: win tonight. on tuesday so don't give me your heart
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: pick we all love bruce we need him to win
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: what do you really think happens on tuesday.
• 13:31
  Speaker 13: Night well put it this way i i think we're
• 13:32
  Speaker 13: going to go down and never trust the sienna poll
• 13:34
  Speaker 13: again that same sienna poll so michelle tofoya forget about
• 13:38
  Speaker 13: bruce blakeman and call hokal for a second michelle tofoya
• 13:41
  Speaker 13: and i look at the real clear average you look
• 13:43
  Speaker 13: at real clear.com all the time and all you do
• 13:45
  Speaker 13: the average distance between michelle tofoya And Peggy Flanagan has
• 13:52
  Speaker 13: been two points. And a couple of one-point raises. Sienna
• 13:55
  Speaker 13: Poe comes out and says she's down 14. Now, if
• 13:57
  Speaker 13: she ran a crazy ad like Ramaswamy did, I go, yeah,
• 14:01
  Speaker 13: she took a risk. Why'd you do that? She hadn't
• 14:03
  Speaker 13: done anything except continue to expose the fraud. At the
• 14:06
  Speaker 13: same time, there's going to be another press conference today.
• 14:08
  Speaker 13: More fraud in Minneapolis. She's going to be directly linked
• 14:11
  Speaker 13: with it. The people of Minnesota might want to make
• 14:13
  Speaker 13: a move.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: But wait a second. 14 points?
• 14:16
  Speaker 13: And now Saeed's up four points or five points. How
• 14:20
  Speaker 13: does that happen? The same weekend that Haley Stevens basically says,
• 14:23
  Speaker 13: I can't endorse him. Now he's pretending to endorse him.
• 14:25
  Speaker 13: Now the same weekend that basically the whole Jewish community
• 14:28
  Speaker 13: is saying, I'm a Democrat, but I can't vote for him.
• 14:32
  Speaker 13: The two Democratic operatives, they helped get Gretchen Whitmer elected.
• 14:37
  Speaker 13: And Alyssa Slotnick both said, I am leaving that line blank.
• 14:42
  Speaker 13: And he's supposed to be picking up momentum.
• 14:44
  Speaker 12: So, I mean....
• 14:46
  Speaker 13: I think after this, and let's see if CNN has
• 14:49
  Speaker 13: a 14. If they're right, they're right. But just keep
• 14:52
  Speaker 13: this in mind. A lot of these polls are out
• 14:54
  Speaker 13: to discourage you and make it seem the die is
• 14:58
  Speaker 13: cast and you're done. And I just think that we
• 15:02
  Speaker 13: have to be smarter than that at this point.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but what happens if you're the right? Forget about
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: 14 points. I don't give you one by one point
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: of 14 points. You still win. So if El Sayed
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: wins or if Flanagan wins or if Tallarico wins, who
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: cares about how many points?
• 15:19
  Speaker 13: Well, I just never trust it again.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Well, that's fine. Put it this way. But we have
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: a lot more on the line than whether or not
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: we should start trusting our polls. If those people win,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: our country's in big trouble.
• 15:30
  Speaker 13: But you're asking me what I think. And I am subjected.
• 15:33
  Speaker 13: You know, I can't run. I can't give you an
• 15:36
  Speaker 13: estimate on over hundreds of races. We're really you look
• 15:40
  Speaker 13: at the Senate race. You got 36 races. I think
• 15:44
  Speaker 13: you're looking at 12 that are too close to call.
• 15:47
  Speaker 13: So when you tell me, well, how do you know? Well,
• 15:50
  Speaker 13: a lot of people in sports, they'll look to their
• 15:52
  Speaker 13: experts and they'll say, this is what I have. This
• 15:55
  Speaker 13: is what I hear. I go to the locker room
• 15:56
  Speaker 13: and this is what they're saying. In politics, you can
• 16:00
  Speaker 13: go to the guys, but then you got to go
• 16:02
  Speaker 13: to the guys with the numbers, crunching the numbers. And
• 16:03
  Speaker 13: you go to the guy crunching the numbers. Let's say
• 16:05
  Speaker 13: their point spreads in.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Sports.
• 16:09
  Speaker 13: And in sports, I look at these guys have done
• 16:11
  Speaker 13: everything possible to get me the best answers. In polls,
• 16:14
  Speaker 13: I feel like I'm being manipulated. And I just don't,
• 16:17
  Speaker 13: I mean, if I'm going to the polls and I
• 16:20
  Speaker 13: know my guy is down 14 points, I'm probably not going.
• 16:23
  Speaker 13: But if my guy is down two, I'm going. So
• 16:26
  Speaker 13: I just want people to understand there's no way these
• 16:30
  Speaker 13: all can be accurate. They're trying to discourage certain people
• 16:34
  Speaker 13: from voting. And if I'm down 14, I'm not voting.
• 16:37
  Speaker 13: If I'm down two, I'm going to find a way
• 16:38
  Speaker 13: to get that done. I'm going to early vote for
• 16:40
  Speaker 13: the first time in New York. I'm going to make
• 16:41
  Speaker 13: sure to do it this weekend. I've always been a
• 16:44
  Speaker 13: day of guy. I'll find a way to do that.
• 16:47
  Speaker 13: But I look at these races as close. I think
• 16:49
  Speaker 13: Bruce is going to be a lot closer. And if
• 16:50
  Speaker 13: he gets close, who knows what's going to happen. The
• 16:52
  Speaker 13: thing that gives me hope is that she's such a
• 16:55
  Speaker 13: terrible governor. She's such a terrible campaigner. And Democrats don't
• 16:58
  Speaker 13: want to be seen with her. So it's those internal polls.
• 17:02
  Speaker 13: If those Democrats thought they could benefit, they would be
• 17:04
  Speaker 13: seen with her or at least go up and go,
• 17:06
  Speaker 13: thank you, governor.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: I got to run.
• 17:08
  Speaker 13: They don't even show up when she shows up. She
• 17:10
  Speaker 13: does a News 12 interview. It is the worst interview
• 17:13
  Speaker 13: possible with News 12. Well, she had a bunch of layups.
• 17:17
  Speaker 13: What are you going to do when you're governor? And
• 17:18
  Speaker 13: she couldn't even answer questions like that. So that's my hope.
• 17:22
  Speaker 13: The New Yorkers will say, I got one guy full
• 17:25
  Speaker 13: of energy with a great track record in Nassau County.
• 17:27
  Speaker 13: I got another one with a track record that makes
• 17:29
  Speaker 13: you want to throw up in your mouth.
• 17:31
  Speaker 15: Oh, God.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: So let's take the worst case scenario, because I agree
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: with you, OK? Let's say she wins. Mamdani's already won.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: We know he's a terrible person, terrible mayor, but a
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: terrible person. Let's say she does win. Let's say these
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: polls are not wrong. What does that tell you about
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: our city and about our state?
• 17:50
  Speaker 13: I think the exodus is going to continue at a
• 17:52
  Speaker 13: breakneck pace because she's going to raise taxes because he's
• 17:56
  Speaker 13: already indicated. She won't even answer the question. Now, are
• 17:58
  Speaker 13: you going to raise taxes? Because he needs taxes. He
• 18:00
  Speaker 13: needs more money in New York City. And she's like, well,
• 18:02
  Speaker 13: we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens. What are
• 18:04
  Speaker 13: you talking about? You said you're not going to raise
• 18:06
  Speaker 13: any taxes. So it's just going to cause a mass exodus.
• 18:11
  Speaker 13: And people that can move will be moving. And I
• 18:14
  Speaker 13: look at Ken Griffin. And I see what he's building
• 18:18
  Speaker 13: with Carnegie Mellon School over in Miami. He's trying to
• 18:21
  Speaker 13: build his own Silicon Valley. That could have been built here.
• 18:24
  Speaker 13: And he's going to go, I'll continue this complex, but
• 18:26
  Speaker 13: I'm basically out. So I'm looking at that. I'm looking
• 18:29
  Speaker 13: at the way JP Morgan has a beautiful building, but
• 18:32
  Speaker 13: they're growing every day in Dallas. So that's going to
• 18:34
  Speaker 13: blow up the tax base. He's going to need more
• 18:36
  Speaker 13: revenue and he's going to lean on other on us
• 18:39
  Speaker 13: to pay more taxes. And he's going to raise the
• 18:41
  Speaker 13: subways and everything's going to get more expensive and they're
• 18:44
  Speaker 13: going to try to blame Trump for that. But it's
• 18:46
  Speaker 13: going to be pretty clear. It's not when you're paying
• 18:48
  Speaker 13: more in when you're playing more in New York and
• 18:50
  Speaker 13: New Jersey than you are in Pennsylvania and Connecticut in
• 18:53
  Speaker 13: some cases. So that's what I think is going to happen.
• 18:55
  Speaker 13: I think she hates Long Island. Hates Long Island. And
• 18:58
  Speaker 13: I think she's going to start doing those affordable housing,
• 19:01
  Speaker 13: start jamming these so-called affordable housings into these beautiful neighborhoods
• 19:05
  Speaker 13: and jamming them down everyone's throat. It's going to take
• 19:07
  Speaker 13: some strong county executives to push back on her. And
• 19:10
  Speaker 13: I only wish her the worst. Not only is she bad,
• 19:13
  Speaker 13: but she's incompetent.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Totally agree. So there's a story today that Margaret Brennan,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: the repulsive hack who hosts Face the Nation on Sundays,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: told Barry Weiss, the boss, I'm not covering this Sullivan
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: story out there in Alaska. Now the governor says, you
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: know what? Patola wins. I am not going to allow it. OK,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to sign off on it because she
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: basically cheated. She says, I know nothing about this other
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Dan Sullivan. What do you make of this Alaska mess?
• 19:47
  Speaker 13: I mean, just take it. Guys, take a breath and
• 19:50
  Speaker 13: just read the story and then read the other accounts.
• 19:53
  Speaker 13: You have this longtime staffer and 11 other sources say
• 19:59
  Speaker 13: in 2025, they went out to recruit another Dan Sullivan
• 20:02
  Speaker 13: when it became clear that Mary Peltola was going to
• 20:04
  Speaker 13: run for the Senate. They knew she could not, obviously
• 20:07
  Speaker 13: they knew she could not win on her own. So
• 20:09
  Speaker 13: they found this guy on an isolated village with no
• 20:11
  Speaker 13: political experience who says, I hate Trump and I'll help marry.
• 20:15
  Speaker 13: His name is Daniel Sullivan. He was going to change
• 20:18
  Speaker 13: his name to Daniel S. Sullivan, exactly like the sitting senator.
• 20:22
  Speaker 13: And it was a plot and plan to get him
• 20:23
  Speaker 13: on the ballot.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: And it did.
• 20:25
  Speaker 13: Now, this is going to be a one or two
• 20:26
  Speaker 13: point race. If you look at the ballot, Dan Sullivan,
• 20:29
  Speaker 13: the real one, is fourth. And in ranked choice voting,
• 20:33
  Speaker 13: you could get points for second place. So, okay, I
• 20:37
  Speaker 13: want Peltoa, but I tell Dan Sullivan I like him, too.
• 20:40
  Speaker 13: Make him second. What Dan Sullivan is it? Then they
• 20:43
  Speaker 13: recruit another Republican candidate that was a Democrat. He potentially
• 20:46
  Speaker 13: be a Republican, and that person is now on the ballot, too.
• 20:51
  Speaker 13: So this is what's worse. The staffer that wanted to
• 20:54
  Speaker 13: retract but wasn't allowed because he talked to her after
• 20:56
  Speaker 13: she got fired, she told everybody the whole truth. She
• 21:00
  Speaker 13: was well aware. So she has lied multiple times to
• 21:03
  Speaker 13: your face. And they looked in the people of Alaska said,
• 21:06
  Speaker 13: I don't know what they're talking about. It's distraction multiple
• 21:08
  Speaker 13: times for over a year. What else is she lying about?
• 21:12
  Speaker 13: How could anyone cast a vote for someone who lied
• 21:15
  Speaker 13: to your face for this amount of time? And now
• 21:18
  Speaker 13: we're looking cute. Hey, listen, I don't have to remind you, Sid,
• 21:21
  Speaker 13: you were doing sports at the time, but when that,
• 21:23
  Speaker 13: when a Bush cooler happened and Bush wins the election
• 21:26
  Speaker 13: by taking Florida, then they stopped counting. And the governor
• 21:29
  Speaker 13: of Florida was from, is Jeb Bush, his brother. Now,
• 21:32
  Speaker 13: they sent him to Florida, and he did win Florida,
• 21:34
  Speaker 13: George W.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Bush.
• 21:36
  Speaker 13: The anger was over the top for Democrats. They never,
• 21:39
  Speaker 13: up until 9-11, accepted Bush. Now, can you imagine if
• 21:42
  Speaker 13: it's a 54-49 Senate with the majority Democrats, and the
• 21:47
  Speaker 13: Alaska race goes to the Democrats?
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, boy.
• 21:50
  Speaker 13: You're going to talk about anger and distrust and fracture
• 21:53
  Speaker 13: in this country? And Dan Sullivan's a fantastic senator. He's
• 21:57
  Speaker 13: a military guy, served in the Bush administration. He's getting
• 22:00
  Speaker 13: oil and gas and bringing it to the people, even
• 22:02
  Speaker 13: during the Biden years. There's no way this guy should
• 22:05
  Speaker 13: be voted out on pure performance. So this is a joke.
• 22:09
  Speaker 13: You can't even say that, well, we're time for change. No,
• 22:11
  Speaker 13: you know, Alaska's not time for change. It's a red
• 22:14
  Speaker 13: state with a guy that delivers. They have a Republican governor.
• 22:17
  Speaker 13: I'm going to play some of the soundbites today. He
• 22:20
  Speaker 13: is more angry than you and I are. And he
• 22:22
  Speaker 13: just says, all of trust, you made a mockery of
• 22:25
  Speaker 13: our state. And you looked in the face of Alaskans
• 22:29
  Speaker 13: and you said, you're dumb and I can deceive you.
• 22:32
  Speaker 13: The worst thing a politician, and they did a focus group.
• 22:35
  Speaker 13: And they were laughing at how dumb Alaskans were in
• 22:37
  Speaker 13: the focus group because they were able to dupe them
• 22:39
  Speaker 13: in the would-be ballot. So that's what they think of
• 22:42
  Speaker 13: you people. There's going to be only 60,000 already voted.
• 22:45
  Speaker 13: They expect 150,000 to show up. So maybe it's already
• 22:49
  Speaker 13: too late. I don't know. But it is just terrible.
• 22:52
  Speaker 13: And the Ilhan Omar investigation, everything people said about her
• 22:56
  Speaker 13: and more. And that idiot Barack Obama who comes out
• 22:59
  Speaker 13: and says that basically it's racism, that Donald Trump is
• 23:02
  Speaker 13: targeting people that he doesn't like. We don't do that
• 23:04
  Speaker 13: in this country. They had an investigation under his presidency
• 23:09
  Speaker 13: because they knew this was a scam when she married
• 23:11
  Speaker 13: her gay brother in order to get him citizenship. I mean,
• 23:16
  Speaker 13: this is unbelievable.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: It is unbelievable.
• 23:17
  Speaker 13: She's a sitting Congresswoman.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: I know. I know. It's unbelievable. All right. Two days
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: away from the big show, 10 p.m. Sunday nights, my
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: favorite show, One Nation on Fox News. I would hope
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: you're going to spend some time to talk about my
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: dear friend who won. I know he's not at 61.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: I don't care. BB won. That's the bottom line. Will
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: we get something on Netanyahu on Sunday night?
• 23:40
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I think I'm going to go with Trey Yanks
• 23:42
  Speaker 13: because I also am not convinced that the war is
• 23:44
  Speaker 13: not going to start again real quick. Uh, and he
• 23:46
  Speaker 13: did when he got 53 seats. I'm trying to, you know,
• 23:48
  Speaker 13: I'm trying to wrap my head around the parliamentary system. Uh,
• 23:51
  Speaker 13: I'm also going to have you, you at Dan Sullivan.
• 23:52
  Speaker 13: The real one is going to be joining me. Mike
• 23:54
  Speaker 13: Law is going to be joining me. The great Lydia Moynihan.
• 23:56
  Speaker 13: Have you had her on for the New York post?
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: I have not.
• 23:59
  Speaker 15: No.
• 23:59
  Speaker 13: Oh my goodness. You got reader columns. She'll deliver the
• 24:02
  Speaker 13: young audience for you. Wonderful person. Tom Bevin from real
• 24:05
  Speaker 13: clear politics. Brett bear is going to be joining me.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: So it's going to be cool.
• 24:08
  Speaker 9: Wow, that's a big show.
• 24:09
  Speaker 13: Yeah, so I'm going to be live, and it's going
• 24:11
  Speaker 13: to be real exciting.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: All right, Brian, as always, amazing job. Looking forward to
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: your big show. I'm going to watch it Sunday night.
• 24:16

• 24:22
  Speaker 13: United in the States, Six Crucial Moments that Affords the
• 24:24
  Speaker 13: American Miracle. Mike Douglas, Sylvester Stallone are very tough on
• 24:28
  Speaker 13: the list. They've been rivals my entire career. And to
• 24:30
  Speaker 13: be going head to head with them on the top
• 24:33
  Speaker 13: 10 list, it's really, I mean, it's hurting my friendship
• 24:36
  Speaker 13: with Sly.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: I'm sure.
• 24:37
  Speaker 13: And Michael Douglas hasn't even spoken to me.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: So, but it doesn't matter. I'm out to win. I'm
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: like Sid Rosenberg. God bless you. Great job, Brian Kilmeade.

• 26:22
  Speaker 14: So with no comment already, it's just called being a prosecutor.
• 26:26
  Speaker 14: That's what people should expect from their New York attorney general.
• 26:29
  Speaker 14: Someone who can stand at a podium, make an argument,
• 26:32
  Speaker 14: present a case and persuade others.
• 26:34
  Speaker 15: And that's what that debate did.
• 26:36
  Speaker 14: New Yorkers got to see for themselves who their two
• 26:38
  Speaker 14: candidates are. This James was unable to defend her record.
• 26:42
  Speaker 14: unable to identify the issues that actually affect New Yorkers'
• 26:45
  Speaker 14: safety and affordability of the state and unable to present
• 26:48
  Speaker 14: any fresh ideas for moving forward. And it's really, you know,
• 26:52
  Speaker 14: they got to see someone like me who actually has
• 26:54
  Speaker 14: a positive vision for the future. We are seeing that most,
• 26:58
  Speaker 14: the overwhelming majority of people who watch that debate end
• 27:01
  Speaker 14: up deciding to vote for me. And so I really
• 27:03
  Speaker 14: encourage people to.
• 27:03
  Speaker 11: Watch the debate, make the decision after you see it.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Good stuff right there. One of my favorite candidates running
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: for anything, Sarita Comatoretti, running against Letitia James. And I
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: know James, as I talked about all week long, and
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: longer than that, she checks a couple of boxes, right?
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: She's black. Who cares? She's a woman. Who cares? She's
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: also fat. She tried to button her sports jacket during
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: that debate. She looked ridiculous. I mean, come on, sweetheart.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: You're on TV like twice. Get a suit that fits.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: You should arrest yourself just for looking like that.
• 27:49
  Speaker 17: Oh, I see what you did there.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: See what I did there?
• 27:50
  Speaker 12: Right there.
• 27:51
  Speaker 17: That's what the AG did.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: It'll be the first arrest you ever made, by the way,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: outside of trying to convict Trump.
• 27:55
  Speaker 17: It might be Comin' to Ready's first arrest.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Letitia James says the crime numbers are at an all-time low. No, sweetheart.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: They're up 26%. You suck. You suck. You're just a racist,
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: and you hate Trump, and you do nothing. Nothing. Seriously.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: I can't stand Letitia James. Can't stand her. Hochul loves her.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Hochul loves. You know what pisses me off? Julie Menon.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: I'm so mad at her the last couple of weeks.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: I'm done with her. I'm done. Walking around town with
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hochul. I know you're both Democrats, but my God, Julie. Really?
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: You yell and scream about anti-Semitism. What has Kathy Hochul done?
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: What has Letitia James done? Hate crimes are at an
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: all-time high under their leadership. Julie, what the hell is
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: wrong with you? Seriously. This horse and carriage thing? You
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: think we're stupid? It's all about real estate money. I
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: don't care about the horses. Because there's no proof that
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: these horses are treated badly. And the funny thing is,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: you guys are going to wipe out that industry. Guess what?
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: They're going to kill the horses. I mean, Julie Menon,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: what a disappointment you are. Really. I expected it from Hochul.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: And James and Mamdani. But every now and then, I
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: thought you were different. You're not. You're not. You're exactly
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: like him. And you've disappointed me, and now I'm pissed.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Let me take a break. There's this war in the
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Jewish community. Two people I actually like. I like them both. Now,
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: I'm much closer to Abraham Hamra than I am to
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Stephanie Ben-Shemuel. Stephanie was on the show a couple of
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: months ago when she did a nice job when she
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: approached the mayor and attacked him. It was so good
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: in Borough Park. But hum was a family friend my
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: wife was even his partner in his law firm we
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: love abe but this is a very nasty nasty fight
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: and it all centers around some assemblymen i don't even
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: know them michael novikov I guess people like him or
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman likes him. I don't even know him. They
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: asked me to put him on. I said, no, thank you.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: I just don't care. But let's get what's really going
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: on between Hamra and Ben Shmuel, the New York Jewish community,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: right now in the middle of a civil war.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: A.B.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Hamra, he's next.
• 30:15

  Speaker 8: Well, if you're heading out onto the major dig and
• 31:15
  Speaker 8: again on the northbound side, we continue to have that
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: problem from the Apple Bank traffic desk. There was an
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: accident right around Fordham Road. Now, that's cleared, but there's
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: still a lot of traffic heading southbound coming away from
• 31:26
  Speaker 8: Fordham Road, coming away really from almost Van Cartland Park
• 31:29
  Speaker 8: right on down and into Fordham Road. Now, we also
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: are going to be looking at delays now coming inbound
• 31:33
  Speaker 8: on the LIE. On the outbound side, a disabled tractor
• 31:37
  Speaker 8: trailer just as you get to Queens Boulevard, so that
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: We'll be right back. And a lot of heavy traffic
• 32:01
  Speaker 8: northbound on the parkway from the Union Toll right on
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: up to exit 144, right lane accident. Transit Authority delays
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: on big delays on the number seven trains, not because
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: of police activity.

• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're my best friend.
• 32:39
  Speaker 11: 77 WABC.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: hand walking through the streets of Soho in the rain.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: He was looking for the place called Leehole Forks. Gonna
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: get a big dish of beef chow mein.
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: Ah-hoo, werewolves of London.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: The late, great Warren Zevon. Werewolves of London. Tomorrow, Halloween.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Werewolves of London. We also turn the clocks back. If
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: you want to know why Fox News' ratings are in
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: the dumper, they're in the dumper. I hate saying that.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: Kilmeade's a dear friend. They're in the dumper. Just take
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: a look at Fox News right now. And you'll see
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Ainsley Earhart Hannity interviewing Ro Khanna.
• 33:57
  Speaker 12: Listen. Listen.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: I'm a MAGA Republican. I don't want to see Ro
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Khanna on my television. He's a lying, filthy scumbag. I
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: don't want to see Abdul El-Sayed with Martha McCallum three times.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: He's a lying, filthy, America-hating scumbag. So, when you see
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: the story today that Fox News ratings it's out today
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: are in the dumper, now you know why. All right,
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: Abe Homra... He's a dear, dear, dear, dear, dear, dear,
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: dear family friend. His lovey wife, Rachel, and their kids.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: But I got to say this. I also like Stephanie Benchamol,
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: and I have history with her. She annoyed the hell
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: out of me. Her loyalty to Curtis Sleva was ridiculous.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: It was dumb. Okay? We actually fought over it. But, but,
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: she does a good job out there. You know, she's
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: out there chasing down the mayor in Borough Park, and
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: she does fight for Jews all over the place. But Hamra...
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: is a family friend forever. And I know, A.B. And
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: I'm hearing things that he's being accused of that I
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: just don't believe, nor have I seen. So with that said,
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: on this huge fight, which all started, I think, over
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Assemblyman Michael Novikov. I've never even heard of that guy. Sorry. Sorry,
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: I talked to B.B. and the President of the United States. Anyway,
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: here he is, Abraham Hamra. A.B., good morning, buddy. How
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: are you?
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Sid.
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: How you doing?
• 35:20
  Speaker 11: So my daughter Jill is listening on the bus. I
• 35:22
  Speaker 11: just want to send her a good morning and hello, Jill.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: He's a cutie. Jill's a cutie. Oh, you're cute. She's adorable.
• 35:28
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: No, they're all great. And Rachel's great. Your whole family's great.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: And again, I do like Stephanie, too, but I don't
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: like what I'm hearing. They're accusing yourself. There's no way
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: you would do so quickly. We got eight minutes. Give
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: me the genesis of how this whole fight started over
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: this assemblyman.
• 35:44
  Speaker 11: Brother, I'm not even going to attack Stephanie. God bless her.
• 35:47
  Speaker 11: I wish her all the best in the world. I
• 35:50
  Speaker 11: believe she's being used as a distraction for this assemblyman
• 35:54
  Speaker 11: and they're coming after me. So I'm going to focus
• 35:57
  Speaker 11: on the assemblyman and why I even got involved in
• 36:00
  Speaker 11: this completely, to be honest with you, almost irrelevant race.
• 36:04
  Speaker 11: I'm standing trying to get Blakeman appointed, you know, working,
• 36:07
  Speaker 11: trying to campaign for Blakeman on my own. because that's
• 36:11
  Speaker 11: an important race. That's how we fix New York State.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: And by the way, Blakeman likes you. Don't forget, I
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: went to Blakeman first.
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: I love Blakeman.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: And I said, get him on your team. And he
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: loves what you do for him. He does.
• 36:22
  Speaker 11: All for Team Bruce. And, you know, I've been working
• 36:24
  Speaker 11: with Caroline Schenkel, the grassroots enthusiasm for that candidate. 12th
• 36:30
  Speaker 11: District Congress is through the roof. Her candidate is hiding.
• 36:34
  Speaker 11: He won't debate. And all of a sudden, I found
• 36:37
  Speaker 11: myself getting dragged into this assembly race. Now, you know
• 36:40
  Speaker 11: that I'm a Jewish Syrian. I belong to one of,
• 36:43
  Speaker 11: in my opinion, one of the best communities in the world,
• 36:46
  Speaker 11: the Syrian Jewish community. It's philanthropic. We're tight-knit. We're like family,
• 36:50
  Speaker 11: each of us. We all take care of each other,
• 36:52
  Speaker 11: and we're all good people. My friend Joey Saban, I've
• 36:55
  Speaker 11: known him since I was a child. He's a good,
• 36:58
  Speaker 11: dear friend of mine. And even though he was a friend,
• 37:01
  Speaker 11: I was staying away from this race. I said, you know,
• 37:03
  Speaker 11: it's not really my race until... Michael Novikov decided to recruit,
• 37:08
  Speaker 11: you know, Stephanie and a couple others, and they started
• 37:11
  Speaker 11: pushing lies against my friend that he was DSA aligned
• 37:15
  Speaker 11: and pro-Palestinian.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: By the way, just so you know, not only are
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: they saying lies about Joey, I'm going to take your
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: word for it, but I've even heard some people in
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: the Novikov camp refer to you as anti-ICE because you're
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: an immigration attorney.
• 37:30
  Speaker 11: So that's exactly it. All of a sudden, I came in.
• 37:32
  Speaker 11: I stepped up because Joey's a good friend of.
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: Mine, and I know him.
• 37:35
  Speaker 11: And just like you said, you know me. I'm a
• 37:37
  Speaker 11: loyal friend. If somebody's attacking my friend, I'm going to
• 37:39
  Speaker 11: speak up. And so I said, hold up, Novakov. You've
• 37:42
  Speaker 11: donated to Bernie Sanders six times. You have voted to
• 37:45
  Speaker 11: give control of our schools to Mamdani, breaking with the
• 37:48
  Speaker 11: minority Republican vote. You have allegedly went on a CCP-sponsored
• 37:54
  Speaker 11: trip to China in 2023. These are all reported by
• 37:57
  Speaker 11: the New York Post, not the Daily News. These are
• 37:59
  Speaker 11: Republican publications. Novikov, before you throw dirt, accept a debate
• 38:04
  Speaker 11: with Joey, my friend, so you can confront him with
• 38:07
  Speaker 11: your allegations. That's what the voters want. This is the
• 38:10
  Speaker 11: electoral system that makes our democracy so great. Instead of
• 38:14
  Speaker 11: responding to the actual candidate, Joey, Novikov and others with
• 38:20
  Speaker 11: him decided to go after my business. Yeah, I'm an
• 38:23
  Speaker 11: immigration lawyer. So they're basically calling, he made an entire video,
• 38:27
  Speaker 11: a sitting assemblyman made an entire video against me, a
• 38:31
  Speaker 11: person who supports so many Republicans, calling me an anti-ICE
• 38:35
  Speaker 11: advocate and a bad company to keep around. I was floored.
• 38:41
  Speaker 11: I'm not even in the race. What do you want
• 38:42
  Speaker 11: from me? And so that's the genesis of the fight.
• 38:45
  Speaker 11: I obviously respond because my business has been boycotted before.
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: I don't want you to bring my business up.
• 38:49
  Speaker 11: In the public. Leave me out of this. Go candidate
• 38:52
  Speaker 11: to candidate. And so this seemingly irrelevant assembly race has
• 38:57
  Speaker 11: taken a life on its own. My question still remains.
• 39:00
  Speaker 11: I respect the Republican Party because we are people of
• 39:03
  Speaker 11: morals character. When we stand on an issue, we believe
• 39:06
  Speaker 11: in it and we stand ready to debate. Why is
• 39:09
  Speaker 11: Michael Novikov hiding from real issues, real questions that the
• 39:13
  Speaker 11: people deserve to hear answers to?
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Where is he out of? Where is this race? Is
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: it Brooklyn? Where is this?
• 39:19
  Speaker 11: It's Brooklyn, the 45th district. And my friend Joey Saban,
• 39:23
  Speaker 11: I want to say this real quick, just so everybody
• 39:25
  Speaker 11: here knows, when I started the petition for the buffer zone,
• 39:28
  Speaker 11: Joey was the first person to call me, told me, A.B.,
• 39:31
  Speaker 11: I saw your petition. I'm calling Senator Sam Sutton. We're
• 39:34
  Speaker 11: getting this done. Within two days, he called me back.
• 39:36
  Speaker 11: He said, we're getting the bill through the assembly. That
• 39:39
  Speaker 11: is the bill that Novikov is saying I signed on to.
• 39:43
  Speaker 11: This is Joey without being in office. Now, I don't
• 39:47
  Speaker 11: care what party he wants to associate himself with in
• 39:49
  Speaker 11: a Brooklyn race. I know who this man is, who
• 39:52
  Speaker 11: Joey Saban is. And I know, and people who's listening
• 39:55
  Speaker 11: to this, you can hold me to account. If he
• 39:58
  Speaker 11: does something wrong, call me out on it.
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: Of course.
• 40:00
  Speaker 11: That's how willing I am to endorse you.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: No, I believe you. But I did watch the video
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: when you did, I guess, go back at Stephanie Benchimol.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Let me say it again. I like her. Again, I
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: had huge disagreements in the past, but I like her.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: But I'm much closer with you. I'll be honest. Okay,
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: much closer. But she contends that you threatened her children.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: I've watched that video 10 times. I never heard that.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 40:25
  Speaker 11: I'll address this because it's really manipulative. So I told
• 40:29
  Speaker 11: her on Friday not to mention my business. On Monday,
• 40:32
  Speaker 11: Michael Novikov turned her comment into a video, which he
• 40:35
  Speaker 11: reposted against my business. So I made a video telling
• 40:38
  Speaker 11: Michael Novikov, dude, I'm an immigration lawyer. There's due process.
• 40:41
  Speaker 11: I'm not anti-ICE. And Stephanie, stop talking Lashon Hada, which
• 40:46
  Speaker 11: is bad speaking about other Jews. I told her to
• 40:49
  Speaker 11: listen to her son. I respect her son. I said,
• 40:51
  Speaker 11: go listen to your son's classes on Lashon Hala. God
• 40:54
  Speaker 11: forbid would I ever attack her son. The problem was,
• 40:58
  Speaker 11: the reason you saw that video is she called Linda
• 41:01
  Speaker 11: and said, I'm really hurt by this response. You know me, Sid,
• 41:04
  Speaker 11: I don't want to hurt people. I took down the
• 41:06
  Speaker 11: video myself thinking that we had a truce. Overnight, Stephanie
• 41:10
  Speaker 11: took this out of context clip of mine, posted it
• 41:13
  Speaker 11: on her page, and posted a video of herself crying
• 41:17
  Speaker 11: as if I'm this horrible bully against women. I'm like,
• 41:21
  Speaker 11: oh my God, I don't even hate you. I really don't.
• 41:24
  Speaker 11: I really wish her all the best. I don't want
• 41:27
  Speaker 11: to fight with her over a candidate. These are two politicians.
• 41:29
  Speaker 11: They should fight each other. You know, I don't hate her.
• 41:34
  Speaker 11: It's sad that she's, you know, going personal for a
• 41:38
  Speaker 11: political race. That's dumb.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: Like I said, I had the same thing with over
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: Curtis Sliwa. She was like really getting, she wouldn't listen
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: to me, belligerent. And I like Stephanie, but she knows...
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: About 1% of what I know about politics. Okay, about 1%.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: So when I was telling her, stay away from Curtis,
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: she was giving me a hard time. Can we fix this?
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: Because I like both of you guys. Can we fix this?
• 41:58
  Speaker 11: Anytime. I have no objection to making peace and shalom.
• 42:02
  Speaker 11: This is, I hate infighting. I hate drama. This is nonsense. Um,
• 42:07
  Speaker 11: I have no problem fixing it with her. I have
• 42:10
  Speaker 11: no problem just existing in two separate spheres of the
• 42:13
  Speaker 11: universe either.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Right. Um, I don't want to fight.
• 42:16
  Speaker 11: Even if she's continued the fight, I'm not responding anymore.
• 42:19
  Speaker 11: Because it's a, you know, you don't respond to people screaming.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: On a subway. No, that's crazy.
• 42:23
  Speaker 12: No.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: So who is winning that race between, uh, Navakov and, and, uh, Saban?
• 42:28
  Speaker 11: Joey Saban is going to run away with it. It's
• 42:31
  Speaker 11: not even going to be close.
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: Oh, really?
• 42:32
  Speaker 11: Especially now that Novikov decided to put me on the
• 42:35
  Speaker 11: ballot like a genius that he was in my Syrian
• 42:37
  Speaker 11: Jewish community.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't work. That's pretty stupid, actually. And he
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: lives in Brooklyn, that guy? Novikov?
• 42:43
  Speaker 11: He's a problem in the 45th district. He hasn't passed
• 42:46
  Speaker 11: one bill in four years. And when he was asked,
• 42:49
  Speaker 11: what could you deliver? I have the video, Sid, I'll
• 42:51
  Speaker 11: send it to you. He said, Hope, what could I do?
• 42:53
  Speaker 11: I'm just a Republican. That's how Republicans act.
• 42:56
  Speaker 7: Oh, no, no.
• 42:56
  Speaker 11: We change things.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: Right, right, 100%. All right, well, listen, I believed you
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: from the very beginning because I love you. I know
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: you're a very, very good man. You're a very, very
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: decent person. And again, I like Stephanie Benjamin. I'd like
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: the two of you to fix this. But I don't
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: like it when people say things about my friends that
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: are not true. And I do believe in this case
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: that that happened to you more than once. So fix it.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: But stop saying things about Abraham Hammer that are just
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: not true. OK, just stop it. A.B., I love you.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: Good Shabbos.
• 43:24
  Speaker 11: And let's go get Blakeman into office. Let's fix New
• 43:27
  Speaker 11: York State, people. Let's do this.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: Let's hope so. Tuesday night should be a very big
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: night at the Lannan in Eisenhower Park. That's where the
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: big party is going to be for Bruce Blakeman. We'll
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: take a break. When we get back, will I be
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: on Long Island on Tuesday night with Bruce, or will
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: I be in Rockland County with the king of Rockland County,
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: the man that President Trump refers to as Mr. Salt,
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: our great congressman, Mike Lawler. Mike Lawler is next.
• 43:55
  Speaker 11: Yahoo!
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: Werewolves of London.
• 44:26
  Speaker 8: From the Apple Bank traffic desk, as you begin to
• 44:29
  Speaker 8: travel southbound on the Deegan, we do have actually quite
• 44:32
  Speaker 8: a bit of heavy traffic leaving Van Cortlandt Park coming
• 44:34
  Speaker 8: down towards Fordham Road.
• 44:36
  Speaker 9: Now, there was an earlier accident up there.
• 44:38
  Speaker 8: Everybody says that's out of the way, but still a
• 44:41
  Speaker 8: lot of slow traffic there. as you head through there,
• 44:43
  Speaker 8: and then again, just the usual sluggishness coming down to
• 44:45
  Speaker 8: the Deegan, then through the Deegan, through Yankee Stadium, and
• 44:48
  Speaker 8: then getting down to the RFK Triborough Bridge. If you're
• 44:51
  Speaker 8: heading out onto the southbound drive, you do have a
• 44:53
  Speaker 8: lot of slow traffic from that same RFK Bridge down
• 44:57
  Speaker 8: into the 40s, heading outbound on the Long Island Expressway.
• 45:00
  Speaker 8: That disabled tractor trailer still, as you start to come
• 45:03
  Speaker 8: into the area of Woodhaven Boulevard, that continues. Now, as
• 45:06
  Speaker 8: a result, you do have delays outbound on the Long
• 45:09
  Speaker 8: Island Expressway from the LIE out to Woodhaven, Inbound, though,
• 45:12
  Speaker 8: in great shape this morning, just in the city slow
• 45:15
  Speaker 8: from Main Street into Queens Boulevard. Inbound, go on and
• 45:18
  Speaker 8: speak Huey or Slow, Industry City up to the Brooklyn
• 45:20
  Speaker 8: Bridge and Mass Transit at this point. Everybody pretty much
• 45:24
  Speaker 8: on or close to schedule except those No. 7 trains.
• 45:26
  Speaker 8: Still some delays there now as well as the A trains.

  Speaker 18: Good morning, I'm John Territ. Well, wasn't there a shock
• 46:02
  Speaker 18: on Wall Street yesterday evening once the markets had closed?
• 46:05
  Speaker 18: Two key companies giving us their earnings and the share
• 46:08
  Speaker 18: price of both of them absolutely falling off the face
• 46:10
  Speaker 18: of the earth. The first one was Amazon, whose shares tanked.
• 46:14
  Speaker 18: They were down about 11% in the minutes immediately after
• 46:16
  Speaker 18: the publication of their print after several key misses in
• 46:19
  Speaker 18: their earnings. And then seconds later came the chipmaker from California, Intel.
• 46:24
  Speaker 18: Its stock also was slammed in the grey market, down
• 46:28
  Speaker 18: 21% just in minutes after it reported a sales miss,
• 46:31
  Speaker 18: lighter than expected revenue, and it admitted that supply chain
• 46:34
  Speaker 18: issues are preventing it from completing orders. And that's never good.
• 46:38
  Speaker 18: During the trading day, markets were in the red and
• 46:40
  Speaker 18: they closed that way, all three of them, although it's
• 46:42
  Speaker 18: worth pointing out that 400 of the 500 S &
• 46:44
  Speaker 18: P 500 stocks were actually in the green, even though
• 46:47
  Speaker 18: overall the market was down. The problem was earnings on
• 46:50
  Speaker 18: Wednesday evening from Alphabet Google, which is spending squillions of
• 46:54
  Speaker 18: dollars on AI. Wall Street's not sure about that. And
• 46:57
  Speaker 18: the other big company that reported on Wednesday evening that
• 46:59
  Speaker 18: was affected yesterday was Microsoft, whose shares have been up
• 47:02
  Speaker 18: on Wednesday but were down for most of yesterday. Today,
• 47:04
  Speaker 18: earnings come from the oil patch with Chevron and Exxon.
• 47:08
  Speaker 18: With business, I'm John Tarrant.

  Speaker 5: Walking with a.
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: Dead man on my shoulder. Oh, did I make a
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: mistake getting involved in all that nonsense here with A.B.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: and Steppi? I got relatives texting me. And leave me alone, please.
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: I don't care about this nonsense. Jesus. Aye, aye, aye.
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: So I've got to make a decision for Tuesday night. Again,
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: I've been invited to speak at Bruce Blakeman's big election
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: night party at the Lanin in Eisenhower Park. Bruce and
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: I are like brothers. Very, very, very, very close. Joe
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: Cairo is running the show there, though. So I would
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: not emcee the event. I would, as Chris Boyle said,
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: warm up the crowd. And then I'm sure they have
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: a million speakers. So Michael Petri will speak and Janine Driscoll,
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: Joe Cairo, maybe Peter King. I don't know.
• 48:51
  Speaker 12: But.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: It should be a big party on Long Island on
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: Tuesday night. But at the same time, my friend Lauren
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: Marie in Rockin' County, she keeps texting me and she says,
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: we'd like you to host, host, not just speak, host
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: Mike Lawler's event in Pearl River. I love that hotel,
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: the Pearl River Hotel. It's beautiful. I love Mike Lawler.
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: I'm as close to Mike as I am to Bruce.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: So I've been wrestling all week with what to do. Now,
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: to be completely honest, the Lawler campaign has been much
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: more enthusiastic in getting me to their headquarters than Bruce.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: Bruce is, you know, running around and trying to beat
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: Hochul and He's the underdog in this race, so he's
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: not really worried about who's going to be there on
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: Tuesday night. But the Lawler campaign, Warren especially, has been
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: very enthusiastic. So I may have to make up my
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: mind right here, right now. Wow.
• 49:50
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: Wow. And maybe Mr. Salt will help me do that.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: So here he is, the amazing congressman. He's going to
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: win again. Sorry, Kate Conley. Mike Lawler. Michael, good morning, buddy.
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 50:04
  Speaker 20: I'm good, Sid.
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: How are you? I'm doing well. You're going to win,
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: aren't you? We're going to win.
• 50:11
  Speaker 20: We're going to win. We've got four days to go,
• 50:13
  Speaker 20: and the enthusiasm and momentum are building, and we're getting
• 50:17
  Speaker 20: everybody out to the polls. We've had great turnout for
• 50:21
  Speaker 20: early voting, but when 9 o'clock hits on Tuesday night,
• 50:26
  Speaker 20: I am confident we're going to be victorious. We are
• 50:30
  Speaker 20: tight to the finish, but We're there.
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: I think you're going to win, too. But aside of that,
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: what is the argument? Why should I be in Rockland
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: County with Mike Lawler on Tuesday night and not on
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: Long Island? What's your argument, Mike?
• 50:47
  Speaker 20: Well, just remember, I did get you a ticket to
• 50:51
  Speaker 20: the State of the Union, even though you canceled. I
• 50:54
  Speaker 20: did get you a nice front row seat. When the
• 50:57
  Speaker 20: president came to Rockland County.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 50:59
  Speaker 20: He even recognized you.
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 51:01
  Speaker 20: He waved at you. You got to shake his hand.
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: All true.
• 51:06
  Speaker 20: We've recognized you several times now.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: You even made a Sid Rosenberg day in Rockland County.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: That was huge. And I never forgot.
• 51:15
  Speaker 20: He declared it.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, a day. And you did also, and I'm serious
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: about this, this was so nice. You took me and
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: Danielle on a late night tour. of the Capitol building.
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: That was awesome.
• 51:28
  Speaker 20: That, and we also introduced legislation with respect to dyspraxia.
• 51:35
  Speaker 20: And I don't know, Sid. That's true. I think we
• 51:40
  Speaker 20: come out on top here.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: You and Gottheimer, you're right. Did all that great stuff
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: for our son, Gabriel. Yeah, I don't know. It looks
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: like you may be in the lead here, Mike. But
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: what will you do for me on Tuesday night if,
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: in fact, I decide to go to Rockland County?
• 51:56
  Speaker 20: Well, we will give you all the fanfare that you deserve.
• 52:00
  Speaker 20: We will recognize you and your historic admission to the
• 52:05
  Speaker 20: Radio Hall of Fame here in New York.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: This is so good. Keep going, Mikey.
• 52:10
  Speaker 20: Yeah, we're going to have a car service pick you
• 52:13
  Speaker 20: up at your home, bring you all the way up
• 52:15
  Speaker 20: to Rockland County. We'll have a nice hotel room for
• 52:18
  Speaker 20: you so you don't have to travel home. And you'll
• 52:21
  Speaker 20: be able to go right to the studio the next
• 52:23
  Speaker 20: morning to talk about what a great night it was.
• 52:27
  Speaker 20: and how I defied the odds and kicked some butt,
• 52:31
  Speaker 20: and we're going to send Kate packing back to Virginia,
• 52:33
  Speaker 20: where she's from. And, yeah, I mean, I think it's
• 52:37
  Speaker 20: going to be a great night, Sid.
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: No, usually your events are amazing. Lauren does a great job, too.
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: I really love them. Last time I was there with
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: Lee Zeldin, it was spectacular. Well, I will announce at
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: 10 o'clock this morning my final decision. But Mike just
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: made a really, really good argument why I should be
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: and probably will be in Rockland County on Tuesday night
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: and celebrate a win. I mean, look, you're wrong.
• 52:59
  Speaker 20: The last thing I'll say, Sid, listen, you're going to
• 53:02
  Speaker 20: be the star of the show because you're going to
• 53:04
  Speaker 20: emcee it. You're not going to get just a one
• 53:07
  Speaker 20: to two minute speech. You're going to be speaking the
• 53:10
  Speaker 20: whole night in front of a national audience because we're
• 53:13
  Speaker 20: going to have every national camera there.
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: Well, your race... I think I just decided to go
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: with you.
• 53:20
  Speaker 9: That's it.
• 53:20
  Speaker 20: You didn't even have to wait until 10 o'clock.
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: No, you just said national cameras. That did it for me.
• 53:27
  Speaker 20: National cameras did it.
• 53:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, Blakeman and Hochul is somewhat national, too.
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: But your race, because it's a Congress seat and an
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: important Congress seat, has been everywhere. There's no question there.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: And I think there was probably a bit exaggerated the
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: success that Kate Conley has been having lately. Some people
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: said to me, she can win. And I just don't
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: see that. I mean, in the end, what do you
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: think she did? And try to be honest about this.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: What do you think she did that got people to
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: notice her?
• 54:03
  Speaker 20: Look, I respect and appreciate her service to our country.
• 54:07
  Speaker 20: But she has spent the entire campaign... relying on her
• 54:11
  Speaker 20: bio as her rationale for why she should be elected
• 54:15
  Speaker 20: to Congress. She really hasn't been able to articulate much
• 54:19
  Speaker 20: on policy. And the fact is, she's not from here.
• 54:24
  Speaker 20: And when people find out that She doesn't own a
• 54:27
  Speaker 20: home here. She doesn't pay taxes here. This is not
• 54:30
  Speaker 20: about renting. We have a lot of renters in the district.
• 54:33
  Speaker 20: That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about somebody
• 54:36
  Speaker 20: who literally owns a home in Virginia, pays taxes in Virginia,
• 54:40
  Speaker 20: and parachuted into this district for the sole purpose of
• 54:44
  Speaker 20: running for Congress after she negotiated two contracts with two
• 54:49
  Speaker 20: AI companies that she can't tell you what she does
• 54:52
  Speaker 20: for these companies, but they're paying her effectively to run
• 54:55
  Speaker 20: for Congress. because they want her in Washington, D.C. And
• 54:59
  Speaker 20: to me, she has not laid out the case for
• 55:03
  Speaker 20: what it is that she's going to do to actually
• 55:06
  Speaker 20: deliver real results. The only thing she has said she
• 55:09
  Speaker 20: wants to do, she wants to impeach the president. She
• 55:12
  Speaker 20: wants to impeach the cabinet. And honestly, folks understand the
• 55:19
  Speaker 20: work that I have done. I've shown up in every
• 55:21
  Speaker 20: community across this district. We've closed over 10,000 cases. I
• 55:25
  Speaker 20: brought back over $ 140 million to my constituents and municipalities.
• 55:31
  Speaker 20: I've passed over two dozen bills. 17 have been signed
• 55:34
  Speaker 20: into law. Okay. Ask AOC how many she's had signed
• 55:38
  Speaker 20: into law. The answer is zero. So I have worked
• 55:41
  Speaker 20: tirelessly on behalf of my constituents, including delivering the largest
• 55:45
  Speaker 20: tax cut in American history. Kate supports increasing taxes by
• 55:49
  Speaker 20: $ 4 trillion. She supports open borders and local sanctuary state policies,
• 55:55
  Speaker 20: which protect criminal illegal aliens. And she supports a government
• 56:02
  Speaker 20: takeover of health care. I mean, at the end of
• 56:05
  Speaker 20: the day, she will be a rubber stamp. Just yesterday,
• 56:09
  Speaker 20: she had Kathy Hochul campaigning with her. And this is
• 56:13
  Speaker 20: a week and a half after she was caught on
• 56:15
  Speaker 20: tape agreeing with me that Kathy Hochul had to go.
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: I saw that.
• 56:20
  Speaker 20: She's a disaster for New York. And then she went
• 56:23
  Speaker 20: on bended knee and groveled and apologized to Hochul.
• 56:27
  Speaker 4: 24 hours later.
• 56:28
  Speaker 12: Hello.
• 56:28
  Speaker 20: And then brings her up in the waning days of
• 56:30
  Speaker 20: the campaign.
• 56:30
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: And she's a liar, too, because I saw all the
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: debates you guys had, two of them, I guess. And
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: she lied. She flat out lied twice, at least. You
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: do not vote with President Trump, although you love him
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: like I do. You don't vote with President Trump 100%
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: of the time. She said that. Then she accused you,
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: as if it's a bad thing, by the way, of
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: building data centers when they were there before you even
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: got there.
• 56:58
  Speaker 20: And the best part is they're financial service data centers.
• 57:01
  Speaker 20: They have nothing to do with AI. They have to
• 57:03
  Speaker 20: do with post 9-11 protecting our financial services industry with
• 57:09
  Speaker 20: backup data centers to make sure in the event of
• 57:11
  Speaker 20: a terrorist attack that they don't get wiped out. And
• 57:15
  Speaker 20: this is what she is making up stuff throughout this
• 57:19
  Speaker 20: entire campaign. She said that we gave $ 80 billion in
• 57:22
  Speaker 20: tax breaks to data center companies. You know what she's
• 57:26
  Speaker 20: talking about? the 100% expensing of plant property and equipment
• 57:31
  Speaker 20: that every single business in America gets to take advantage of.
• 57:37
  Speaker 20: Every single business. That's what she was referring to in
• 57:40
  Speaker 20: the debates when she said that we gave $ 80 billion
• 57:42
  Speaker 20: in tax breaks to data centers. I mean, this is
• 57:46
  Speaker 20: somebody who literally just recites whatever made up you know,
• 57:50
  Speaker 20: for cock the talking points.
• 57:51
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 57:52
  Speaker 20: Her handlers in D.C. give her.
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: They also said. No, no.
• 57:57
  Speaker 20: She just doesn't understand the issues.
• 57:59
  Speaker 12: No.
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: They also said that you wanted to arrest people who
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: were involved in boycotting Israel. So, in other words, if
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: there was an Israeli company and somebody in Rockland County
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: decided to boycott that company, that you wanted that person arrested. Wait.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: And here's the thing.
• 58:15
  Speaker 20: The BDS legislation, the anti BDS legislation was passed. back
• 58:20
  Speaker 20: in 2018, and what I have is a bill to
• 58:24
  Speaker 20: amend it to include the United Nations, okay? IGOs, the
• 58:30
  Speaker 20: IGO Anti-Boycott Act. It would be a one-line amendment to
• 58:34
  Speaker 20: the existing law, and the existing law does not cover
• 58:38
  Speaker 20: international governmental organizations like the United Nations. And my point is,
• 58:44
  Speaker 20: if the UN is trying to force American businesses into boycotting, divesting,
• 58:50
  Speaker 20: and sanctioning the state of Israel, that is a violation
• 58:55
  Speaker 20: of U.S.
• 58:56
  Speaker 15: Law.
• 58:56
  Speaker 11: That is the point.
• 58:58
  Speaker 20: And it is not targeting the small businesses. It's targeting
• 59:02
  Speaker 20: foreign countries and international governmental organizations like the UN that
• 59:09
  Speaker 20: would try to to force U.S. businesses doing business overseas
• 59:14
  Speaker 20: in their countries or with their organizations, trying to force
• 59:18
  Speaker 20: them to boycott, divest, and sanction the state of Israel.
• 59:22
  Speaker 20: That is what the bill is about. It's not the U.S.
• 59:25
  Speaker 20: sanctioning U.S. businesses.
• 59:26
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: So, again, I think you're going to win. Most people
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: that are learned in this political game think you're going
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: to win. But most people I speak to, most Republicans,
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: think we lose the House. So I need you, Laura,
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: to be honest, because you are such a great congressman,
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: so strong. Trump loves you. We may need you now
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: more than ever because we may very well lose that
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: slim majority on Tuesday. What do you think?
• 59:55
  Speaker 20: Look, I ran for reelection for a whole host of reasons,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 20: but one of the biggest ones was that I care
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 20: deeply about the job that we are doing in Washington.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 20: I care deeply about this country. There is so much
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 20: at stake on Tuesday. It is not just control of Congress.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 20: It is about the future of this country. It is
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 20: about standing in the way of crazy and fighting for
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 20: common sense. It is about standing in the way of Marxism.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 20: and fighting for our capitalist system. America is the greatest
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 20: force for good anywhere in the world because of our
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 20: military and our capital markets. That is at the foundation
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 20: of why we have been able to lift people out
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 20: of poverty and to ensure freedom and opportunity, not just
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 20: here at home, but around the globe. And the Democrats
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 20: have gone so far to the left. Chuck Schumer and
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 20: Hakeem Jeffries can't tell you what they're fighting for. The
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 20: only thing they can say is that they hate Donald
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 20: Trump and they want to oppose everything he does. But
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 20: the fact is AOC, Bernie Sanders, and Zoran Mamdani are
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 20: the leaders of the Democratic Party. And what they are
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 20: fighting for is to defund the police, to abolish ICE,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 20: open borders, sanctuary state policies, government takeover of health care,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 20: trillions of dollars in new taxes, trillions of dollars in
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 20: new spending, seizing the means of production, seizing private property,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 20: freezing the rent, free busing, government-run grocery stores, and on
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 20: and on and on the list goes, abolish the Senate, etc.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 20: This is what these people are fighting for. And whether
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 20: you agree with everything the Republicans have done or not,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 20: the fact is we are working to uphold the values
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 20: of this country, the Judeo-Christian values that are at the
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 20: foundation of our Constitution, our rule of law, and our
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 20: values as a country. And so at the end of
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 20: the day, this is a very stark choice. And the
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 20: voters will make that choice. I am confident I will
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 20: win because of my record and the work that we
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 20: have done. But I will tell you this. Every race
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 20: is going to be decided by a handful of votes,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 20: by a handful of points. And despite all the pollsters, prognosticators, pundits,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 20: and the Democrats and their lapdogs in the media who
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 20: keep telling everybody that the election is over, that the
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 20: Democrats are going to win the majority. Remember 2016. Remember 2024.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 20: They told you Donald Trump never had a chance. They
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 20: told you Republicans were going to lose all across the board.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 20: The voters make the ultimate decision. Get out and vote.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 20: The only way Democrats get elected is if Republicans and
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 20: conservatives and independents stay home. Don't stay home.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: Vote.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 20: Early voting runs through Sunday. Make sure to get out
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 20: and vote. Election day is November 3rd on Tuesday. Polls
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 20: are open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Get out
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 20: and vote. If you stay home, shame on you.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: Is there a refrigerator inside that hotel room at the
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: Pearl River Hotel where I can keep like an iced
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: tea late at night?
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 20: Yes, we will have a nice mini fridge right in
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 20: your room for you as well as we'll have somebody
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 20: available to deliver you iced teas on demand. You can
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 20: have President Trump's red button on his desk and get
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 20: you iced teas on demand.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: Okay? Michael, I'll see you on Tuesday night. That was a,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: on a serious note, that's a great appearance and you
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: just laid it out perfectly and that's why you are
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: going to win. You understand this better than anybody. You
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: get it and you're right about who runs that Democrat
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: party and you're right about how crazy they've gotten. That
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: word lunatic really applies but not to you. You are
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: an amazing congressman and a great guy and I'm excited
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: for you because I do think you're going to win
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: on Tuesday and actually win easier than most people think.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: Mike Lawler, we'll see you in Pearl River on Tuesday night.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: You got it.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 20: Thanks, Sid.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: God bless you, Mike. Mike Lawler right there, ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: the king of Rockland County, Mr. Salt, and he's about
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: to beat Kate Conley on Tuesday. Thank God Mike Lawler
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: will remain in Congress. That's my prediction. We'll take a
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: short break. Some more to do. KT McFarland, Miranda Devine,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: maybe one more special guest. Friday, sitting friends in the morning,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: Shabbat Shalom.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 5: Wait for an invitation to arrive.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: I was struck by.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: Lightning walking down the street.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 5: I was hit by something last night in my sleep.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 21: It's a gem.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: Real New York, 77 WABC. Boy, you're my best.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 11: Friend. Boy!
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: This is Sid and Friends in the Morning. For my friends.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 7: 77 WABC.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 11: Boy!
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: Frank Morano takes in, he says, I hear what you're
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: saying about Navakov. I don't know this guy, but it
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: would be a shame to lose one of the few
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: Republican seats we've got in New York City. And on
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: the surface, I agree with Frank, of course, but what
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: I've been told, and again, I don't know this, this
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: guy Navakov doesn't vote like a Republican all the time.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: That is Frank. I love Frank. You guys all know that.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: A lot of you don't love him. I love him.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: But like he's all for the horseman and nonsense like that.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: He loves the First Amendment. He's OK with pro-Humas people
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: walking up and down the streets. I mean, I've had
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: all kinds of difference in philosophies and policies with Frank
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: over the years. Hasn't affected our relationship because I think
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: he's still great at what he does. And he says
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: the same about me. But some of you Republicans out
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: there aren't exactly MAGA like me. And that's what I'm
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: hearing about this Novikov guy. I don't know. I don't
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: care enough. All I know is this. Stephanie Ben-Shomol, her
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: husband contacted me and he's a mensch. I don't know
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: him either, but he's a beautiful guy. So I want
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: to fix that between Hamra and Stephanie because I love
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: them both. They're both great Jewish people and we don't
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: need more infighting. I already caused enough of it, which
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: I don't apologize for because Jews are our worst enemies.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: They really are. But I don't believe Hamra or Ben Shmolar.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: And again, her husband seems like a really lovely guy.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: So Shabbat Shalom to him. All right. Tomorrow, I'm voting.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: Early voting. I'm going tomorrow. I think Louis, Lou and
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: I live in the same community. We vote on 129, right?
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 17: Yeah, you vote there.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 12: I vote below.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, you do?
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 17: Yeah, I just, I vote.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: You go to the YMCA?
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, they have a nice little voting room there. I
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: like that. I've been there many times.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 21: All right.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: So about 50 blocks away from each other will be voting.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: Are you voting tomorrow, too, or waiting until Election Day?
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 17: Tomorrow's a good chance I'm going to do it.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: You are? Okay.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 17: Tomorrow's Saturday?
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: Yes. All right. So here is what's on the ballot. Governor,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: Hochul or Blakeman? Which way are you going?
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 17: Let's see. I'll flip a coin tomorrow.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: State Comptroller, Thomas DiNapoli or our guy Joseph Hernandez?
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: Tom's a good guy. I like Tom. He's one of
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: the few decent Democrats, but he's not a Republican. Hernandez
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: is our guy. Vote Joe Hernandez.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 17: I like him, yes.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a good guy. Very good guy. Smart guy.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: We like him. Talking about smart, how about this one?
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: Attorney General. James or Coma Toretti?
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 17: If I could bring in 50 people to vote for her.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 17: Coma Toretti.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: You love Saritha, you do.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 17: I love Saritha.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: This is for the Justice of the Supreme Court. The
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: 11th Judicial District. These judge things, that's why they lose me.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: I never heard of these people. So Adams, Belton, Phillips, Novello,
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: or Muraka?
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 5: Muraka?
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: I like his name, Gary Marocca. He gets my vote.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like what women do at the NCAA
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: basketball tournament. I like their blue shorts.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 17: Sounds like he plays center field.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, exactly.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 17: Now batting Marocca. Marocca for judge.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: Now you've got the judge of the civil court in
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: County Queens, Wong Barra Milner. Oh, I like this guy.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: This guy was actually at the event with us the
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: other night. Michael Massa. He gets my vote. Okay, yeah. Yeah,
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: he's a nice guy. He gets my vote.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 15: Sure.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: Then you get... Congress, 5th Congressional District, Gregory Meeks, who's
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: one of the biggest wastes of time in politics. What
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: a waste. Black guy. Okay. Great. We know Gregory's black.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: We know Letitia James is black. What else do they got?
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: He does nothing.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 17: Doesn't do anything.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: Nothing. Has a big office in Auburn and does nothing. Travels.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 17: No one sees him.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: He spends more time outside the country. So I'm going
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: to vote for George Marsh.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 17: Now batting for Meeks.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: Number 22. Now, Marsh was there Tuesday night, too. George Marsh.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: He's got the big truck outside the ferry.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 17: Flyers were everywhere around.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: He was there wearing a flannel shirt. So I'm going
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: to vote for George Marsh, me and Lewis. I think
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: that's it. Then you get all these... No, but.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: You have a state senator race over there.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: No, I've got the Assembly, 23rd District, Pesach, Osina, or
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: my guy, Thomas Sullivan. Our guy. So we're taking Sullivan.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: The state race, is that James Sanders?
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and Republicans didn't even put up a candidate.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: I see that.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 13: He's the only one on there.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm going to write myself in.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 17: Yeah, that's a good idea. I think I'll do that.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 22: Do that.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: Write me in, okay?
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 17: I'll write you in, sure.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: Sid Rosenberg versus James Sanders. Now, on a serious note,
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: If I really did run, I would kick James Sanders' ass.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: I don't even know who the guy is.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 4: No one.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: No one knows who he is. Not even his parents.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it says James Sanders versus write-in. So I'll
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: vote myself. And then you get these proposals. I haven't
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: read them. But Sullivan did say Tuesday night, Thomas, vote
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: no on all five of them. I heard him say that, Lou, right? Yeah.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 17: Oh, that's right.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell they're about. I don't know.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: I just have no... See, this is where I get
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: very impatient.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 17: Well, this is where you have to check your impatience.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: I know, I know. And just read these things.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 17: Read it, and that's why you have the sample in
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 17: front of you. At least you'll know what you're looking at.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 22: But when you read them, they don't even make any sense.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 22: They're almost purposely written so you don't understand them.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 17: And that's what... Who said that? Did Joanne say that?
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 15: No, Thomas.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: Thomas said vote no one, all five.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 17: Right, but he also said... Sometimes they're worded in a
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 17: way that you can get confused. He said go slow.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: Listen, just the way it's titled, I'm confused. Proposal number three,
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: a question. Proposed charter amendment. I'm lost already. Speed up
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: street safety projects. Disposition of unused city property. Office leasing.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 15: Okay?
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: I watch football on Sundays. I know I talk to
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: world leaders and presidents and I'm a well-respected radio guy,
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: but this is way above my pay grade.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 17: Let's go down to the... Ed Hockley has the call
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 17: and he will explain.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: Here's number four, Lewis. Proposed charter amendment simplifying building permitting
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: and move waterfront permitting to the Department of Buildings.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 17: Right, so which way would you want it? I don't
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 17: even know what the right Just say no.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 12: No, I guess.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: Just say no, like Nancy Reagan said. Just say no.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what I'm saying no to. I
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: have no idea. Do you vote on these things, Noam?
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 22: I always forget to even look at them. But I
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 22: probably should because they probably impact you more than who
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 22: you're voting for.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: No, they don't. These are very important.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 17: They have a first impact on you.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: Here's number two. Proposal number two, a question, proposed charter
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: amendment to allow prostitution... On 116th Street.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 17: Okay, that's going to be a tough one.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 13: But they told you to vote no.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to vote yes on that one. I'll
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: vote yes.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 17: I'll vote yes and claim ignorance.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: I made that one up. It's not really there.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 17: I didn't understand it. Okay, here are the overtime rules.
• 1:12:45

  Speaker 17: Abraham Lincoln is heads.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: The tails is... Got to make politics fun or else
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: it's just way too brutal. All right, let's take a break.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: We get this lady on every Friday. Why? Because she's fantastic.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: We love her. KT McFarland back on a Friday. Now
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: a serious conversation. There will be no prostitution on 116th Street,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: damn it. Not while I'm living there. KT McFarland is next.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 5: It's free and everybody comes. We're running, taste the running high.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 6: This is the news and talk station of New York
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 6: with Sid and Friends in the Morning.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: Let's give them credit.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: The cops in New York are doing a great job.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 9: Real New York 77 WABC.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 11: Real.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 9: W.A.B.C. Traffic in Transit.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 8: We're heading outbound on the L.I.E. at Woodhaven Boulevard. There's
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 8: an earlier disabled tractor trailer. That is now gone. All
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 8: lanes have been reopened. There is some slow traffic, though,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 8: heading outbound coming away from Woodhaven right on in through
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 8: Queens Boulevard. On the inbound side, you're slow from the
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 8: cross out. No, make that the coming inbound from the
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 8: Grand Central Parkway coming on, and you've got heavy traffic.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 8: A little slow up at LaGuardia on the Grand Central.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 8: Outbound on the L.I.E., a lot of heavy traffic as
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 8: you come away. from Main Street right through the Cross Island,
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 8: and then the same thing down on the Grand Central Parkway,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 8: a little bit better than you have on the LIE
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 8: if you're heading outbound. Now, westbound on the Cross Bunks Expressway,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 8: out of the interchange all the way up to and
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 8: over the 3rd Avenue Hill. If you're coming inbound at George,
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 8: about a 30-minute delay, slow across the span, and again,
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 8: you get to 3rd Avenue, that's when it opens up.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 8: If you're heading inbound at the Lincoln Tunnel, about a
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 8: 15-minute delay. If you're heading inbound at the Holland Tunnel,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 8: There's about a 20-minute wait inbound off of 78 and
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 8: coming inbound off of the Skyway, about a 30-minute wait
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 8: at Mass Transit. Again, subway delays on the A, the C,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 8: the E, the F, the W, and alternate side is

• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: W-A-B-C.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 3: This is Sid and Friends in the Morning.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 5: 77 W-A-B-C.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: I know explain the propositions the best. My neighbor, he's
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: the best plumber in the country. Maybe in the world.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: Lenny Tiazzo. He's so great. Lenny, I love you, Lenny.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: He said, Sid, the way they make it sound, they
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: make it sound like you'd want these proposals, these propositions,
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: I should say. But if you read into it, and
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: this is where it gets very, very bad, and it's
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: easy to say no, like Thomas Sullivan said, it gives
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: the mayor all the power. And the last thing I
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: want is this radical Islam jihad terrorist to have any
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: more power than he already has. So there's your answer.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: He says it's similar to the Delivery Protection Act. Sounds
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: like it's for the workers, but it's not. So the CNL,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: if you vote yes to these propositions, you're voting for
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: more power to the scumbag mayor.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 17: That's good that it's very well explained for everybody.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 12: That's good.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: Thank God for Lenny. Some other people on my Instagram,
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: they explained it to me, but there you have it.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: You believe this? The way they write it, you're like, hey,
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: that sounds pretty good. And most people are morons, including me.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: I'm like, okay.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 17: And they want to say yes anyway.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: They just want to say yes.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 17: Hey, it sounds like a really good thing that'll happen
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 17: for the community.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, see, there's sneaks. There's sneaks. There's no good mayor.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: And there's no good governor.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 17: If you're away from your house for more than an
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 17: hour sometimes, it's subject to being taken over by anybody
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 17: else that walks down the hall.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: Yes or no?
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 17: Yeah, okay.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: That's absolutely true. That's the scary part about that. That's true, too.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: Let's go to the great KT McFaul and work for
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: four presidents. Most recently, President Trump on Fox News all
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: the time and on this show does a great job
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: every Friday. KT, good Friday morning, sweetheart. How are you?
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 23: Oh, I'm delighted to be with you. And happy Halloween
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 23: and happy election and happy Daylight Savings Time.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: Well said. Happy all those things. You know, it's funny
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: how certain companies cover certain elections. So you know me.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: I'm a big BB guy. I'm friendly with BB. Very friendly.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: He taped that video for me when I made the
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. We've had many dinners and lunches together.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: We're legitimately friends. I speak to him and his office
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: all the time. All the time. And I kept telling everybody,
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: my own daughter, she hates him, he's going to win, okay? No,
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: everybody's had enough. Israel's had enough. New York's had enough.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: He's not going to win. Washington Post says today, well,
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: he's still the prime minister, but the truth is it's
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: in jeopardy. No, it's not. He won. He won. Eisenkot
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: can't beat him. Now, what's alarming is not the opposition,
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: the Arabs. 19 seats to Arabs who, by the way,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: are pro-Hamas, pro-terrorism, anti-war against Iran. That's the scary part.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: But in terms of Bibi not being the prime minister,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: there's nothing out there that says that's not going to
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: be the case. Or am I wrong?
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 23: Oh, I think you're right. He'll be asked to form
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 23: the government and he'll put together a coalition that'll be
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 23: maybe not quite as strong as his previous coalition, but
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 23: strong enough. And the alternative is kind of strange because Eisenhower.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 23: if he were asked to form a coalition government, he
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 23: would have to take those Israeli Arabs that you're talking about.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 23: And that would be very, very, very frightening.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: He still may do that in an attempt to make
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: sure Bibi doesn't get whatever power he is going to get.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, again, you're right. He will have less power.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: He doesn't get to 61. It's not an outright victory.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: And there are even some that say if Bibi, for example,
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: let's say Wednesday, President Trump decides we're going back to
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: hit Iran. Israel would love to piggyback and do the
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: same thing. But even though Bibi won, he did win,
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: he may not have the power to To do that
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: right away. Is that true?
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 23: Well, yeah. I mean, he may not have as much
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 23: authority to do it as many people who would stand
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 23: in the streets and clap. But on the other hand,
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 23: he may also conclude, well, it's now or never. And
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 23: what will happen is if it's a successful attack, a
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 23: kinetic attack, then I think Bibi is strengthened, whether he
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 23: has the seats or not. His whole position would be strengthened,
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 23: has to be successful, though. And I think the president,
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 23: President Trump, is probably going to look at three options.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 23: When I wrote memorandum for him to say, you know,
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 23: we need a decision, which direction do you want to go,
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 23: you would always give him three options, sort of small, medium,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 23: and large. And the small option would be to continue
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 23: what you've got now, which is economic strangulation, figuring that
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 23: eventually something's got to give, that maybe it doesn't happen
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 23: next week, but next month, but at some point, 93
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 23: million Iranians are not going to starve to death, and
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 23: that there would be something that happens, something that changes.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 23: The next would be like apparently we're warning our Arab allies,
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 23: a short, effective, strong kinetic action right after the election.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 23: And that would probably include destroying Pickaxe Mountain, whatever is
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 23: remaining of nuclear sites or whatever the Iranians are trying
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 23: to rebuild, and then remaining military and military industrial sites
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 23: and maybe assassination of some of the IRGC. So we
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 23: get to now the third, the fourth tier of leadership.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 23: And then I would, if I were the president, I
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 23: would do that and I would then declare victory.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 15: The war is done.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 23: We've won our major objectives. The Strait of Hormuz is
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 23: not going to be important going forward. Other countries in
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 23: the Middle East are using alternative routes or building pipelines.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 23: Some countries are buying oil from us now instead of
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 23: from the Middle East and declare victory. And we don't
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 23: need a peace conference with the Iranians or the IRGC.
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 11: And then the.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 23: The quote nuclear option, although not nuclear weapons, will be
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 23: to go all in and go for regime change, which
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 23: then we would force. And I think that's got a
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 23: bigger risk, even though that's what Bibi has been talking about.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: That's all Bibi wants. That's what the Israelis want. They're
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: afraid that these psychos will do similar stuff in the future. Listen,
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: I like all four of those options. I think President
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: Trump will do all four. My only question is, because
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 2: it sounds so good to me, why did he decide then?
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: to wait till after the midterms. The prices are still
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: too high and the war is not over. If he
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: would have done all those things and declared victory, how
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: would that not help Republicans come Tuesday?
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 23: Well, because what happened, you know, there's a risk in
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 23: any one of these strategies. And President Trump is not
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 23: a trigger-happy guy. I think he weighs the risk. There's
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 23: always a risk. Is it a risk he's willing to take?
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 23: And the problem we have right now, there's plenty of
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 23: oil in the world. There's just not plenty of oil
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 23: refineries in the world. And this is what the whole
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 23: Ukrainian conversation is about. President Trump talking to Zelensky is
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 23: to Zelensky, don't destroy the Russian refineries in your drone
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 23: attacks because that has the effect of diesel prices. And
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 23: that's what's driving up the oil prices. I mean, the problem,
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 23: the real problem is the United States hasn't built a
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 23: new oil refinery in 30 or 40 years. And we
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 23: need to build oil refineries. We need we've got the oil.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 23: We just need to refine the oil. So we're not
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 23: dependent on other countries. We need to secure our supply chain.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 23: And if we can, you know, if a refinery is
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 23: built in the United States, it's not at risk like
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 23: the Russian refineries are Middle East refineries or others. You know,
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 23: we can protect our refineries.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: Right. So you work with President Trump. He was the
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 2: fourth and last president you worked with. And I'm sorry.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: I've never seen a person like him. Forget about president
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: or whatever he is.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 15: No, nobody has.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: This guy's 80 years old. He's going to different states
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: every day. MSNOW and CNN, they're killing him this morning
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: because he's not going to Kansas tomorrow or Iowa on Sunday.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: This guy's done like 30 states in the last 20 days.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: Could you see Joe Biden do that? Can you see
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: that moron Kamala Harris do that? I mean, they got
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: nothing else to do. They criticize him over nonsense. This
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: guy has been a machine throughout this whole process.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 12: No.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 23: He's unbelievable. I mean, I would get the phone calls
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 23: at midnight and, you know, he'd say, are you you're awake, right? Yeah.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 23: And then you get this, you know, then you get
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 23: another phone call. Five, six in the morning. Did I
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 23: wake you up? Oh, no, I'm fine. He's just a machine.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 23: I mean, the joke is that Marco Rubio says that
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 23: when he flies on Air Force One with the president,
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 23: he always he tries to take catnaps on the plane.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 23: And so he'll put a blanket over his head because
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 23: President Trump strolls the aisles and he looks to see
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 23: who's sleeping.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 23: He thinks it's a sign of weakness. So Rubio puts
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 23: a blanket over his head so Trump can't see that
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 23: it's Rubio catching the catnap. Nobody can keep up with
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 23: President Trump.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: Nobody can. He's been amazing. It still might not be enough.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 12: I mean, I don't know.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 2: I'm not confident. I have to be honest.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 12: I'm not.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: I can't believe that El Sayed may win. I hope
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: he doesn't. It's very, very close. Or Tallarico. And come on, KT.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: What they did in Alaska, this liar, Mary Paltola, they
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 2: actually found some guy in this small Alaskan city with
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: the same name and put him on the ballot, Dan Sullivan.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: This is about as low as it gets.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 23: I can't believe that's not illegal.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: I think it is.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 23: I'm sure it's illegal. You know, they're probably giving the
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 23: number two dance element money to put his name on
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 23: the ballot. He's not campaigning. His name is just on
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 23: the ballot. And that, to me, is election interference. There's
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 23: got to be a way that's illegal. And why his
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 23: name is still on the ballot, I don't understand.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: Mike Dunleavy has the opportunity, the governor in Alaska. So
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: she wins this cheater. That's all she is, is a lying,
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: thieving cheater. He's got the choice to not certify the
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: election results based upon obvious cheating. He was asked that
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: on News Nation yesterday. He stopped short of saying, I
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: won't do that. He said, well, got to investigate. We
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: got to see. So he's aware of it. He's not happy.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: But he did stop short of saying, I would not
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 2: certify the election results.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 23: Well, I guess we'll just have to see. But I'll
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 23: tell you, if that is allowed to stand, You can
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 23: believe that in every other state, in every other congressional district,
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 23: they're going to find somebody with the same name and
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 23: put that name on the ballot.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 15: Of course. Of course.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: What do you think? You spend all your time on
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: Long Island. You're a big, big star in Southampton. What
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: do you think about Bruce Blakeman's chances? I know you
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: love him. I know it. And we all love him.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: We all want him to win. We need him to win, right?
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: The state is.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 23: And he would be such a great guy.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: He'd be great. But do you think he's going to win? Honestly.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 23: You know, it's not going to be won or lost
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 23: in Manhattan. It's not going to be won or lost
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 23: in the metropolitan areas. It's going to be won or
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 23: lost in upstate New York. And it'll be turnout. Will
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 23: Republicans turn out and vote for Bruce? The thing I'm
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 23: worried about is that on election night, instead of declaring
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 23: a winner or loser, they'll be, oh, we haven't we
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 23: need to keep the polls open a little longer. Or, oh,
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 23: we're still counting, we're still counting.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: I actually hope that's the case. I hope you're right,
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: because a lot of people are saying to me, they're
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: going to call that thing by 9 o'clock that night.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: I hope you're right, because then it's closer than what
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: Siena or Quinnipiac or all these other polls are telling us,
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: which is they're going to call a win for Hochul
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: at 8. I hope you're right.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 23: Yeah, but you know something? The polling thing is just not...
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 23: How many people do you know who got the call
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 23: from the pollsters and the pollsters say, can I have
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 23: a few minutes of your time? Nobody hangs up. And
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 23: so I just I'm not believing these polls. What I
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 23: am believing is things like early voting, who's turning out.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 23: And I'm not seeing the numbers for New York polling
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 23: opened early, early voting open on this last past weekend.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 23: And I just want to see how many Republicans showed up,
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 23: how many Democrats showed up. That's your indicator. Because if
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 23: the Republicans tend never to do early voting, they tend
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 23: to show up on Election Day. And that's around the country.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 23: And if Republicans are showing up in numbers to vote early,
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 23: that's a very good sign.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: I agree with that. KT McFaulin right here. So President
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 2: Trump did say last week, we talked about Iran, you
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 2: and I, that guess what's coming up next? Cuba, here
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 2: we go. Cubans, get ready. Here we come. What do
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: you think about that?
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 23: Oh, I think it's ready to go. And Marco Rubio
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 23: said tweeted last week, he said, Cuban American Cubans, go
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 23: talk to the intelligence, go talk to the CIA and
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 23: let them know you want to help. I mean, what
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 23: does that say to you?
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 21: Oh, boy.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 23: And the fact that the Cuban delegation at the U.N.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 23: started getting into a shouting match with the U.N. ambassador,
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 23: Mike Walsh. Did they realize that Mike Walsh could like
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 23: kill him with his finger? He's an Army Special Forces guy,
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 23: one of the toughest guys around. I would not pick
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 23: a fight with him. But I think that's a sign
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 23: of desperation of the Cuban delegation. Cuba's ready to go.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 23: The younger generation, that, you know, the under 45 year olds,
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 23: they're talking to Americans all the time. And they're talking
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 23: about what opportunities would be for American Cuban Americans to
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 23: come and reinvest in Cuba for American businesses to come.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 23: Cuba could be just, you know, be like the California
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 23: gold rush once they get rid of these these incompetent, aging,
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 23: corrupt tier of Cuban communist leaders, that's the only thing
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 23: that changes. And I'm going to be looking to see
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 23: if there's some kind of movement of battleships around Cuba.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 23: Because what that might mean is you do another snatch
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 23: and grab.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 2: I think you're right. Have you voted yet? By the way, Katie,
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 2: have you voted yet?
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 23: I voted last week.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 15: I voted.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 23: I banked my vote the first day.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: All right. I love it. I love it. I know
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: that a lot of Republicans are doing that. I know
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: you're right. That's not been the case with us usually.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 2: But Brian Kilmeade's already voted. My wife voted. I'm going tomorrow.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: Lou's going tomorrow. So We're going to play their game.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: That's what we're going to do. We're going to early vote.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 2: We're going to, you know, ballot harvest. And if we
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: have to cheat, we're going to cheat, too. Anyway, KT,
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: you're great. You're great, everybody. We love you. Thank you
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: so much for this amazing appearance. Thank you, sweetheart.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 23: Talk to you next week.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 7: Bye.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: Can't wait. KT McFarlane right there on Sid and Friends
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 2: in the morning. I like that shirt, Lewis. I just
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: saw that. Clowns to the right. Is that Cardi B
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: and Nicki Minaj, both?
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 17: Well, I like to say, like, I'm going to call
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 17: you Little Tweety Bird because you're like on my left.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Nicky.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 17: And Donald Trump is my guy.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: He loves Donald Trump. I'm going to.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 17: Write a song. I like Cardi B because she teaches
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 17: me history.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 2: This one you can't make up. This is the mayor.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 2: I got to play this now that Lewis brought that
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: up on Nicky. The mayor actually defending Cardi B, who
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 2: writes songs about wet vaginas, That's what she does. Cardi B,
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: you know the song I'm talking about. She doesn't say
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: the word vagina. It gets a lot worse than that.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 2: Cardi B, according to Mom Donnie, this you can't make up,
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 2: is a history major. Louis, cut number nine.
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 16: I think it's hard to believe that it's all real.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 24: Nicki Minaj came out and sort of tore into Governor Hochul.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 16: Can you believe that's a sentence?
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 24: So, Nicki's beef in the rap world is with cardi
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 24: b who you have come out with um in support
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 24: of your 2k program wondering what your reaction is to
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 24: nikki coming into the governor if you're hoping to see
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 24: cardi you know come out in support of her and
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 24: just your reaction to all of this going on.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 16: I think it's hard to believe that it's all real
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 16: um and i think you know i i have said
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 16: it before that New York City loves and appreciates Cardi
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 16: B not only for the music that she has made,
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 16: but also for her love of history.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 2: Her love of history. That's why New York City loves
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 2: Cardi B. Norm, is that why you love Cardi B?
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 9: I'm a big Cardi B fan, yeah.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because of her love of history, right? I mean,
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: do you think that Cardi B can even list five wars? Five.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 17: How about five presidents?
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 14: Right, exactly.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: Mom Donnie, you are such a moron. You really are.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: I don't care how many New Yorkers vote for you.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 2: You are a smiling dickhead. That's what you are. Smiling dickhead.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 2: Look at you. You look like a filthy bastard.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 17: You're out of shape.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 2: You're out of shape.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 17: Look at this guy. Reuters is a horrible organization.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 2: You got to play that now. I understood that. This
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 2: is Trump cut number three. Getting very agitated with a
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: Reuters reporter yesterday. Lewis, that was perfect. Cut number three.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 12: Are you sick to ask that question? You are sick.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 12: Who are you with?
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: I'm with Reuters, sir.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 12: You are a sick guy. Reuters is terrible, by the way.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 12: Can you imagine? Look at this guy. He's way out
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 12: of shape.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 25: Look at how badly... He comes to me. Sir, you're
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 25: not going to go to Kansas. I'm not going to
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 25: Kansas because he's doing very well.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 12: I'm going to do a tele-rally. Tomorrow I'm doing Florida.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 12: He said... What's the reason? After doing, what, 28? He says,
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 12: what's the reason for this, sir, that you're not going
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 12: to Kansas? You know what the reason is? I don't
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 12: feel I have to go to Kansas.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 25: I'm going to Florida tomorrow, and I'll do if something
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 25: else comes up. But he said, you're not going to Kansas, sir.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 25: Are you feeling well? You've been following me.
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 12: For two weeks. I feel perfect. You are disgusting. Put
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 12: yourself in shape. You look like hell.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 17: Oh, my God.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, the greatest president ever. I'm sorry. Get yourself in shape.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 2: You look like hell.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 17: Just try to picture another president doing that.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 15: Exactly.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 17: Like Reagan or Carter.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: Mind you, I did look at the reporter on video.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 2: And the president is right. He looks like hell. The
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 2: guy looks like hell. He's a big dude. Don't be
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: afraid to go to the gym. Take a peptide once
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 2: in a while.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 17: Well, look at you. You don't look. You look out
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 17: of shape.
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 2: He would never do that. And he was a tough bastard,
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 2: Ronald Reagan.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he was tough.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 2: But that's a good Reagan, too.
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 17: I don't appreciate Reuters coming up with things that they
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 17: don't know anything about. I'm going to pass it over
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 17: to Trump and he'll take care of you.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: President Trump's the best. He really is. We've got more
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 2: to do. Miranda Devine's going to stop by. So, we've
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 2: got a big issue in New York. Again, rapes in
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 2: Central Park. Five. Lately, five, including one last Saturday. But
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 2: is Mamdani and Letitia James worried about that?
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 12: No, no.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 2: Instead, they're paying criminals in a $ 36 million, this is
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 2: true now, $ 36 million deal for criminals here in New York.
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 2: Miranda Devine, she's got the whole story. That she's a.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 13: Black magic woman.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 5: She's trying to make a devil out of me.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 26: Don't turn your back on me, baby. Don't turn your
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 26: back on me, baby. Yes, don't turn your back on me, baby.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 26: Stop messing around with your tricks.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 5: Don't turn your back on me, baby.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 2: You just might pick up my magic.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 6: Sometimes entertaining, sometimes serious, always compelling. This is Talk Radio
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 6: 77 WABC.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: WABC, traffic in transit.
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 8: From the Alpha Bank traffic desk, if you're coming inbound
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 8: on Long Island Expressway, now we have a new problem.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 8: Bumper-to-bumper traffic coming away at this point from the Van Wyk,
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 8: right in through Queens Boulevard. A disabled tractor trailer sitting
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 8: in the center lane. It's tough getting around them. There's
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 8: also what looks like a minor accident off on the
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 8: shoulder in the same area. So, again, as you're coming inbound,
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 8: you're going to have a lot of heavy traffic. And
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 8: then outbound on the LIE, we have delays from Main
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 8: Street out to the Cross Island Parkway. Bell Parkway slow
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 8: getting up and on to the Verrazano Bridge if you're
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 8: up in the Bronx. If you're westbound on the Cross
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 8: Fox Expressway, delays White Plains Road all the way to
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 8: the George Washington Bridge. Inbound Georgia, a little bit less
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 8: than 30. Inbound Lincoln about 10 and about 20 down
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 8: at the Holland Tunnel. And mass transit at this point,
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 8: pretty much the A, the C, the E, the F,
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 8: and the W.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 9: That's it. They have minor delays.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 8: With an Apple Bank pick-your-own-term CD, get a guaranteed rate
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 8: of return that fits your 6- to 12-month timeline. Stop

  Speaker 8: I'm Joe Nolan with Traffic Talk Radio 77 WABC.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: This is Sid and Friends in the Morning.
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 2: 77 WABC. Well, you know, when Miranda Devine comes on,
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 2: she's going to get some Australian actresses in excess. Devil inside.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 2: Mike Wallace has mentioned the marathon. 60,000 runners. One of
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: those will be my beautiful wife, Danielle. It'll be her
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 2: seventh New York City marathon. Her 41st marathon overall. She's
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 2: even earned the Abbott Award. The six majors. Three domestic.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 2: New York, Chicago, Boston. Three international. London, Berlin, Tokyo. Danielle's
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: the real deal. She'll be running it on Sunday. So
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 2: will my friend Tiki Barber, the former great New York
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 2: Giant running back who works at WFAN. Just a reminder,
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 2: when you go vote this weekend in Queens, when you
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 2: get to the part that says State Senator... 10th senatorial district,
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 2: you're going to notice that there's a guy named James Sanders.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 2: He's a Democrat, and no one's running against him. He's
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 2: on two parties, Democrat and working families. You know the guy, Lou?
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 17: No, I've known a lot of actors named Sanders.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, actors, but never saw this guy.
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 17: He makes good fried chicken, too.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. Colonel Sanders. Anyway, there's a write-in category,
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 2: and we are imploring everybody to write in my name.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 22: You know, you should do that just for the reason
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 22: that the salary is $ 142, 000 a year. Is that what
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 22: this guy gets?
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 2: It's not a terrible salary. It's not great.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: And you can turn it into a no-show job for
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: at least a year.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 13: Just don't show up.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 2: They'll still pay it. Well, you've got to write in
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: my name. It says, write in, write in, Sid Rosenberg.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: I want to see how we do in this race.
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 2: What do you think, though?
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 9: I think you have a shot.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 2: I've got a shot. Queens loves me. Come on.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 17: It's only going to take 20 votes to beat this guy.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 12: Probably.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 17: And you're going to get much more than that.
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 2: I am so perfect for politics. I know I can't
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 2: do it because Danielle would have divorced me and I'm
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 2: making a lot of money doing this nonsense. But I
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 2: am perfect for it, man. I mean, I got the magazine.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 2: thing down pat. Trump will tell you. Civil would be great.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 2: I look great. I got the charisma. I can speak.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 2: I'm not afraid. I would do the Democrats what Trump does,
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 2: but I just can't do it. I'm not allowed. I
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 2: want to, but I'm not allowed to. I said to
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 2: my wife a couple days ago, could you imagine an
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 2: Italian wife Telling her husband what he can and can't do?
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 2: How would that go? Only Jews were like, yeah, okay,
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 2: no problem. Whatever, honey, no problem.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 17: Was that your point?
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I said, if we were Italian, I'd be running
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 2: for anything I want to run for. But Jews, Jewish
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: husbands are like, okay, don't get mad, whatever, fine. I'll
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 2: do whatever you want. We're whipped. We're whipped. Italian guys
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 2: are like, I'll see you Saturday. Friday night I got
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 2: to be with Michael Mata. You know what I'm saying?
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 17: Yeah, that's great. The gravy's getting cold out there.
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 2: Just go cook the sauce and shut up, okay? You
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 2: know what I do. Yeah, so I can't run. But anyway,
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 2: this story.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 17: That room down there, that's the kitchen. That's where you belong.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 17: That's where you belong.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: Where the smoke is coming in. That's where you belong.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 12: Shut up.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 2: So I saw this story a couple of days ago,
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 2: and I walked on it for days, and I get
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 2: it on, which is great. Central Park crime surges. Rapes.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 2: You know, five girls have been raped. in Central Park,
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 2: in like the last, I don't know, so far this year,
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: I think. That's way too many. And yet, New York
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 2: City criminals are making cash. Not kidding you. $ 36 million
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 2: in payouts. Miranda Devine, best writer in the country. New
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 2: York Post, best in the country. I love her. Miranda,
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 2: good morning. How are you?
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 15: Good morning, Sid.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 27: That's very exciting that you have political ambitions.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 15: Good news for the country. You never know what your
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 15: wife may have a change of heart at some point.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 2: She may. I mean, you know what it is? And
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 2: I'm going to sound really obnoxious when I say this, but.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 2: You know, I emcee so many events. You know, Miranda,
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 2: so many events for these politicians. And inevitably, I go
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 2: home and I go, I was better. I was better.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 2: The people were more excited to see me. They laughed.
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 2: They clapped. And like I said, I've studied all these politicians,
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 2: especially Trump. More than I studied in college for four years,
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 2: I can tell you that. So I think I can
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 2: do it. And I think I'd be really good. And
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 2: God knows the Republicans, we need better candidates. Our candidates suck.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 2: You know that, right?
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 15: Absolutely, they do.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 27: And look, particularly for some reason in blue cities, and
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 27: I think part of that's just because the Democrats are
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 27: so completely vicious and unhinged when it comes to attacking Republicans.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 27: And yet, if someone like Vivek puts forward an ad
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 27: that's you know, unsavory, I guess.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 15: Oh my gosh.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 27: The media just goes into meltdown for days. Everyone's outraged.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 27: And the Democrats do that every single day.
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 2: Worse.
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 15: Look what they did to Lindsey Graham.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, that was terrible. And look what they're doing. Not vicious,
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 2: but oh my God, it is maybe the most blatant
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 2: cheating I've ever seen. Alaska Miranda. What is that?
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 15: Well, it's just classic Democrats. They cheat every which way.
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 27: The thing about them is that when it comes to elections,
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 27: they're extremely creative. And that's why it's sort of difficult
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 27: to pin them down, because when you say, oh, they're
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 27: cheating and it's fraud, everyone goes, oh, you're talking about
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 27: the machines or you're talking about this. That's not proven.
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 27: And it's like, no, they cheat in every single way.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 27: They go to the courts and change the laws. They
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 27: do mail-in ballots. They just nudge the ball over the
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 27: line and rig the system so that, really, Republicans to win,
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 27: like Donald Trump did in 2024, they have to get
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 27: a massive landslide just to squeak over the line. And obviously,
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 27: it's because the Democrats' policies are not attractive to most Americans.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure about that. In fact, I've got a very,
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 2: very bad feeling about Tuesday. I'm sorry. I want to
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 2: feel great. I have a lot of friends that are running.
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 2: So do you, Miranda. A lot of people in New
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 2: York that I love. Like, I love Bruce Blakeman. I
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 2: don't like him. I love him. Mike Lawler, all these guys.
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 2: And maybe they'll win. But I think overall, I think
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: in an honest conversation, despite President Trump going to 50
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 2: states in 12 days, I think we're in big trouble
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 2: on Tuesday. I really do.
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 27: Yeah, well, look, the House was, you know, always going
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 27: to be difficult because history tells you that the president's
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 27: party is always.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 15: Going to lose. I think it's really not happened. But look,
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 15: I don't know.
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 27: Everyone's predicting a blue tsunami, et cetera. But the polls
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 27: have been drastically wrong before. And I think when it
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 27: comes to the Senate, if you look at the individual
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 27: Senate seats, Maine, which the Democrats thought they had snapped up.
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 27: Susan Collins has just been trudging, doing her usual magic,
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 27: you know, just slow and steady wins the race.
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 2: By the way, by the way, I think she's going
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 2: to win. And people forget that the only reason why,
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 2: the only reason why Graham Plattner exited the race... It
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 2: was not because of the allegations of rape. It would
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 2: have been nice if they actually cared. It was because
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 2: even then, with all his momentum with Bernie Sanders, he
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 2: was losing to Collins.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 15: That's right. Nazi tattoo, it wasn't enough. Rape allegations, not enough.
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 12: No.
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 15: If he'd been winning, they would have kept him.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 2: 100% true. That's right. And he wasn't. He was down
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 2: by about four points. But Paxton is, according to a
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 2: poll I just saw this morning, now down five or six. Again,
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 2: these polls are liars. We get that. But now down
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 2: five or six in Texas. Looks like El Sayed may
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 2: have a two-point lead, very close, in Michigan. But if
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 2: those two guys win... Specifically, Tallarico and El Sayed. That
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 2: is a horrible look for our country.
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 4: Horrible.
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 15: Really horrible.
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 27: And look, I mean, Ken Paxton obviously isn't a great candidate,
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 27: although he was a great AG, but he has a
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 27: lot of problems. I mean, Texas is Texas. So let's
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 27: hope that Texans just remember the border, remember what Democrats
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 27: did to them. And then El-Sayed, look.
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 15: The margin of error in these polls is like 4%.
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 11: So.
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 27: I just can't see. There's so many hairs on El-Sayed.
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 27: He makes all these soft and fluffy videos of him
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 27: as the lovely father and girl dad putting his daughters
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 27: to bed. He's Muslim Brotherhood. So, you know, people, I hope,
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 27: are smart enough to see through it.
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but Muslim Brotherhood's becoming a big deal in this country, Miranda.
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 2: You know, we're being invaded. This is going to be
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 2: a Muslim country before you know it. And people go, Sid,
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 2: don't say that. There's nothing wrong with the Muslims. Listen
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 2: to me, okay? I'm going to say it. Don't chime
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 2: in here, okay? I got an issue with the Muslims.
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 2: Not because every Muslim's a bad person. The overwhelming majority
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 2: are good people, okay? But every time a plane is
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 2: hijacked lately, it's a Muslim. When they send airplanes into
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: the towers, it's a Muslim, okay? When you get these
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 2: DSA people all across the country, They're Muslims. So don't
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 2: tell me I should have a problem with the Muslims
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 2: when whatever percentage it is, whatever percentage it is, a
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 2: lot of the bad things happening in our world today
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 2: are the Muslims. Somebody argue that with me, please.
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 15: Please. Well, I mean, there would be a lot less
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 15: war and America would be a lot wealthier if it
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 15: hadn't had to go to war against various Muslim countries.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 27: I mean, it's unrest wherever they go. And unfortunately, individual
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 27: Muslims that you meet are lovely. And I mean, most
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 27: of our Uber drivers in New York seem to be Muslim.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 15: But.
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 27: But, you know, you just look at France, you look
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 27: at Australia, where the numbers get big, there just seems
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 27: to be a push by the imams to bring in
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 27: Sharia law and to radicalize, you know, some group of them.
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 27: And you don't need very many radicals to really disrupt
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 27: your country.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 2: Especially, right, when you've got the billions of Muslims around
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 2: the world today, it's a very small percentage. And it
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 2: is very small. It's still millions, millions of people that
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 2: hate America, hate Israel, millions because of the invasion.
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 15: And destabilize their Muslim countries.
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 27: I mean, Jordan doesn't want the refugees coming in from
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 27: Gaza because they're afraid of the Muslim Brotherhood.
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 7: Egypt, too.
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 2: Egypt, too. Egypt didn't want them. None of those countries
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 2: wanted them.
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 27: Well, it's because once the Muslim Brotherhood gets in and radicalizes,
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 27: it's very difficult.
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 15: It's brainwashing. I mean, it's like... I don't know.
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 27: TDS is another form of brainwashing, but Muslim Brotherhood brainwashing
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 27: is TDS multiplied by a zillion.
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 2: I couldn't agree more. By a zillion, you're right. And
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 2: a lot more dangerous, I will tell you. But look,
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 2: we've got our own issues right here in New York, okay?
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 2: We don't got to go to Jordan or Egypt or
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 2: any one of these. Or Michigan, for that matter. Or Maine.
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 2: What's going on? And you wrote this column this week,
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 2: and I talked about it a lot yesterday. And it
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 2: really bothered me. This is unreal. Let me just read.
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 2: The first couple of paragraphs from Miranda. A woman was
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 2: raped at night point in Central Park at 8.30 Saturday
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 2: night after being dragged off Fifth Avenue near East 66th Street.
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 2: It was the fifth rape in the park this year.
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 2: Yet instead of protecting women from rapists, the city is
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 2: paying criminals, listen to this, paying criminals up to $ 35. 5
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 2: million in a class action settlement. This is not fiction,
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 2: is it?
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 15: No, it's unbelievable.
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 27: I mean, I only know this because a friend spotted
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 27: the sign on the subway that was advertising for takers
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 27: to come and get this money.
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 15: Well, initially it was, I think, $ 22 million.
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 27: And then after they started advertising and mailing at our
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 27: expense to all the people who'd been locked up by
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 27: the cops in that period, mailing them little advertisements, hey,
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 27: if you want some free money from the government, you
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 27: can apply. They had another 75,000 people applied.
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 15: So now the judge last week said, oh, yes. Oh,
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 15: if you've got more people.
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 27: Then yes, let's make the city pay $ 35 million. So yes,
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 27: I mean, it's just a scam, a grift. It's not
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 27: the first time it's happened. It's the lawyers and it's
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 27: often the same law firms and the same lawyers just
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 27: go back to the trough and the city just signs
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 27: off these settlements and the judges don't intervene. No one
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 27: cares because it's our money and there are a lot
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 27: of people making a lot of.
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 15: Money out of it.
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 27: And I would say that the lawyers get a lot
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 27: of money because in this particular settlement, from the $ 21 million,
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 27: they were going to get $ 3 million on top of
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 27: that from the city, three law firms.
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 15: And so what does that tell you?
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 27: They get it for nothing. Even if only five people
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 27: put their hand up for the money, the lawyers still
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 27: get the $ 3 million.
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 27: So, of course, they're incentivized to come up with new schemes,
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 27: new reasons to get people compensation, especially criminals.
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 15: Because if a criminal wants.
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 27: Compensation, you know that Namdani, Namdani's city officials are going
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 27: to say, yes, of course, we love criminals.
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable. I saw it. I couldn't believe it. But it
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 2: does make sense. when you think about the leaders in
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 2: this city and how they feel about crime. I mean,
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 2: I am really rooting so hard, Miranda, for Saritha to
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 2: beat Letitia James.
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 15: Isn't she great?
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 2: She is great. And Letitia James is a lying fool.
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 2: She's black, and she's a woman, and she hates Trump.
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 2: Those are the three things she has going for her. Otherwise,
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 2: she's done nothing to help this state. Nothing.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 15: No, nothing.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 27: I mean, the time and the money and the resources
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 27: that she wastes going after her political enemies, going after
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 27: Donald Trump, just wasting time, not going after Medicare fraud
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 27: and visa fraud and all the other fraud that's just
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 27: ripping off this city. She's just there doing, playing games,
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 27: acting like she's butter wouldn't melt in her mouth.
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 15: Who knows? what other shenanigans she's got up to.
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 12: Oh, sure.
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 27: Between her and Hochul and Mamdani, the city is really
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 27: in bad shape.
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 15: And you just need a little break.
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 27: Honestly, people, if you're Democrats, it's not saying that the
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 27: city is going to go Republican. It's not going to
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 27: be like Giuliani comes back.
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 1: Don't worry.
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 27: Bruce Blatman is just going to be a sensible person
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 27: who is going to hold Mamdani back and stop him
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 27: from really wrecking the city.
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 2: That's exactly right. And that's what we need. I mean,
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 2: she's so afraid of him, Hochul, and Bruce isn't. And
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 2: that's not a bad thing that Bruce is not. Because
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 2: last I checked, the governor is supposed to have more
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 2: power than the mayor, except in this city where Hochul
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 2: runs scared every day, every day of Mamdani. One more
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 2: thing about your story is I love Jessica Tisch. I
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 2: love her. I think she is a tremendous police commissioner.
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 2: For my money, she's second behind Ray Kelly, okay? That's
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 2: what I believe. But I keep hearing about how the
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 2: city is doing great. Crime numbers are great. City is
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 2: safer than ever. Letitia James said that. Wait a second.
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 2: The subway crime is up tremendously. Rape, that's become a
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 2: big issue, and it's back in Central Park. Hate crimes
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 2: are going through the roof. So the question is, despite
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 2: the numbers, how safe is this city?
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 15: Well, listen, you don't need.
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 27: I don't never trust these statistics because they always massage them.
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 15: And, you know, when.
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 27: You look a little closer at them, you see that
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 27: they're not comparing apples with apples when they pretend that
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 27: crime is going down. I don't believe any of it.
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 27: It's all politicised, it's all massaged through City Hall. And
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 27: you just have to live in this city and walk
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 27: around it and talk to your friends and understand.
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 15: That it is not safe.
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 7: It is.
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 27: Honestly, I lived in New York in the bad old
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 27: days before Giuliani.
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 15: I was a student.
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 27: And I remember what the mood, the vibe was like.
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 27: And it's very similar to today.
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 27: The difference is that it's not quite as bad yet,
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 27: but it's heading very fast in that direction. The difference
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 27: was I felt like... In the 80s, 90s New York,
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 27: there were sort of no-go zones for criminals. There were
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 27: no-go zones for regular people too, for law-abiding citizens. But
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 27: certain parts of the city were completely safe. The cops
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 27: used to keep– and also the cops were stronger then.
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 27: Now I look at the cops milling around Times Square
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 27: looking at their phones and ignoring crimes going on around them.
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 27: And I just think to myself, they're not the same
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 27: caliber of cop that used to be there that Giuliani
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 27: managed to deploy.
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but the difference, you're right, you're right, you're right.
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 2: And some of them are actually out of shape, which
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 2: is another issue that they allow. Totally. A lot of women.
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 7: Right, I know.
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 12: Small women.
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 2: Right, but the truth is with a lot of these cops,
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 2: they are the same, but they don't have... The political backing.
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 2: Those cops knew, hey, a bad guy walks across the street,
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 2: I'm going to bash him across the face, Giuliani's going
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 2: to have my back. These poor bastards, they do something
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 2: like that, they'll never work again. And the mayor will
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 2: hold the press conference and the AG. So yes, yes,
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 2: there are some that are on their phones, they're not
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 2: being a cop, but the majority of these people are
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 2: the same. They have no backing from the people in charge.
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 11: None.
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 15: You're absolutely right.
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 27: And I'm being unfair because, of course, if anyone was
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 27: in that position where they know that the city doesn't
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 27: have their back, then what else are you going to do?
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 27: You can't really like as one cop said to me,
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 27: you know, if I intervene and start completely, you know,
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 27: arresting this pickpocket or whatever, then and he attacks me.
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 15: I could lose my house. You know, I could be sued.
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 27: They've lost their qualified immunity. So they're very judicious about
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 27: when they intervene. And I look at some of these
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 27: cops who are getting injured and shot, and I think
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 27: you are heroes because you've intervened despite all that.
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 15: You are doing your job to keep us safe despite
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 15: all that.
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 2: Agreed. You're 100% right, Miranda.
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 12: You're right.
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 2: It's very tough for these people. Very, very tough. You
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 2: are amazing. You really are. You've got to read this column, folks.
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 2: Miranda Devine, Central Park Crime Surges. as New York City
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 2: criminals cash in on class action settlements. You've got to
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 2: read her stuff every day. The best columnist in the world.
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 2: Great podcast every week. Trump loves her. Sid loves her.
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 2: New York loves her. The great Miranda Devine. Thank you
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 2: so much, sweetheart. You're great.
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 15: Thank you, Sid.
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 7: Bye-bye.
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 2: Have a great weekend. Miranda Devine right there, back on
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 2: Sid and Friends in the morning. We'll take a break.
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 2: We've got about 30 minutes to go before I hand
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 2: the football off to Brian Kilmeade, and I enjoy my weekend.
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 2: Marathon Sunday for my beautiful wife, and I go vote tomorrow.
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 2: All that coming up.
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 1: It's fair, nothing but full of pride.
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 2: Look at them go, look at them kick.
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 1: Makes you wonder how the other half lives.
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 5: Bye.

  Speaker 18: Bye.

• 1:57:09
  Speaker 3: 77 WABC. This is Sittin' Friends in the Morning.
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 18: No, I get by with a little help from my friends.
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 5: And they just love me.
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 2: But that broken dream has got me. My friend Mike
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 2: Lawler right there talked me today into hosting his election
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 2: day night, Tuesday night at the Pearl River Hilton in
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 2: Rockland County. I'll be there and I'll be hosting it.
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 2: I'll be the big stars, he said. They got me
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 2: a hotel room. They got me limos back and forth.
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 2: They got me, I think George may give me a
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 2: police detail at some point. So they're treating me like
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 2: a big, big deal Tuesday night in Rockland County. And
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 2: I do think that Mike is going to beat Cade Conley.
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 2: I'm very confident about that. And then Long Island, the
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 2: big night, of course, with Bruce Blakeman at the Latin
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 2: in Eisenhower Park. They'll have a big night. Joe Cairo
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 2: and Peter King and Bruce and Janine. Janine Driscoll and
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 2: Michael Petri and the whole Long Island crew. It'll be
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 2: a big night there on Tuesday. But I think I'm
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 2: going to make my way towards Rockland County this week.
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 2: Either way, we are just four days away from these
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 2: big elections. But for me right now, as important, just
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 2: two days away from the marathon. Let's go, Danielle. We'll
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 2: take a short break, come back, and wrap things up
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 2: right after these words.
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 5: You found every line in the day. I, I wonder
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 5: what you're going to do. Destroyed all other dudes at
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 5: the market.
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 2: It's so good that you're feeling pain. But you better
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 2: get your face on board.
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 5: The very next train.
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 20: We are one.
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 5: We are one.
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 8: Well, from the Apple Bank traffic desk, if you're traveling
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 8: on the Long Island Expressway coming inbound, a lot of
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 8: slow traffic now coming away from the Van Wyk Expressway
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 8: in through Queens Boulevard. There was an earlier disabled truck there.
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 8: That is now out of the way. Same thing on
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 8: the northbound side of the Bruckner. There was a bus.
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 8: That stalled right around the drawbridge. That also has now
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 8: been cleared. Still a little slow traffic, though, heading northbound
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 8: through there. Westbound on the crosswalk, slow 3rd Avenue to
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 8: the bridge, heading inbound at the George Washington Bridge. About
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 8: a five-minute delay. Hardly anything at all now at the
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 8: Lincoln and Holland Tunnels coming inbound. Now, elsewhere in New Jersey,
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 8: we do have a couple of minor issues. Well, first
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 8: of all, on Route 80, there's really no delay behind this.
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 8: But on the westbound side of Route 80, right at
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 8: Route 202, exit 42 in Parsippany, that ongoing police investigation...
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 8: And mass transit still delays on the 1, the 2,
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 8: the 3, the A, the E, the F, the L,
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 8: and the Rockaway Shuttle. And alternate side again today is
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 8: in effect. Traffic is sponsored by Apple Bank. Now at
• 2:00:29

  Speaker 5: You don't know how much I love you. But I
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 5: love you like the sun. I like to put my
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 5: arms around you. Run, run, run, run away.
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 2: Run, run, run, run away. All the runners out there
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 2: getting ready for Sunday. Obviously, I'm invested in this with
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 2: my wife running the marathon, the seven times to run
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 2: New York City up 41st overall. So all that hard work,
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 2: months of it, miles and miles and miles, and this
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 2: weekend loading up on carbs and getting some rest. It'll
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 2: all be worth it sometime late Sunday afternoon. Whether you're
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 2: a first-timer or like Danielle and Tiki, 15 times combined,
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 2: they throw that medal around your neck. There ain't nothing
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 2: like it. I can't say I experienced it. I've done
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 2: two half marathons. never a full marathon, but I see
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 2: the joy in these people's faces. And I know the
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 2: work that goes into it. And I'm telling you folks,
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 2: and I've talked about it all week, because I really,
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 2: I get taken aback, the emotion, it really gets to me.
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 2: It is a very difficult thing to do.
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 17: What's the first thing Danielle, when she comes in, what's
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 17: the first thing that she just.
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 2: In the beginning, she cried. Yeah. She would finish the
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 2: race and cry.
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 2: She was just so emotionally exhausted, physically exhausted, and overcome
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 2: by accomplishment. She would cry, and I would cry.
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 17: I would imagine. That's a big thing to do.
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now she's, it's, listen, these now kind of take
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 2: her back to the beginning, because the beginning was like, wow,
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 2: I did it. And now it's like, wow, I don't
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 2: have many left. You know, she's not 30 anymore. So these,
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 2: it's tough.
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 17: Makes her more impressive.
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 2: Correct. So she may be very emotional because she has
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 2: been hinting at retiring from marathons. This may be it.
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 2: Maybe half marathons and 10Ks and that type of thing.
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 2: So my expectation is that we will all be very
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 2: emotional come Sunday. We're going to see. But I do
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 2: wish all of you the best of luck. We're done
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 2: for this week. Another amazing week by my man Lou Ruffino.
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 2: See you at the Boating Boots, I should say, tomorrow. Justin,
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 2: have a good time in South Carolina. Enjoy the wedding.
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 2: Noam Layden, great job this week. John Territ, Joe Nolan,
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 2: all you guys. Just a tremendous week of shows. Next
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 2: week is going to be huge. Huge. Election Day Tuesday.
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 2: Where else would you rather be than with us? Big,
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 2: big week and a big night in Rockland County coming
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 2: up on Tuesday night. Until Monday, everybody. Peace!
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 5: But it's getting louder and louder Here I am, missing you. Echo,
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 5: I'm loving you. Echo, I'm watching you. Echo, I'm needing you. Echo,

  Speaker 9: WABC, traffic and transit.
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 8: Well, from the Apple Bank traffic desk, and we continue
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 8: to have a lot of slow traffic coming in about
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 8: on the LIE getting in through the area of Queens Boulevard,
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 8: but that isn't anything out of the ordinary. And then
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 8: also as you come southbound on the BQE, coming down
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 8: to the Kosciuszko, you're slow and then inbound now, just
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 8: prospect on up to the Brooklyn Bridge. If you're on
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 8: the Belt Parkway, getting through Kennedy Airport, a lot of
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 8: heavy traffic, slow go as well. Northbound on the Cross Island,
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 8: coming up to the Northern State Grand Central combination, pretty
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 8: much the whole way. Westbound on the Cross Box, a
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 8: lot of heavy traffic. Also, as you travel northbound on
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 8: the Deegan, getting up into Van Cortlandt Park. Now over
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 8: in New Jersey... Jersey Turnpike 13A northbound right through there.
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 8: All lanes are open. An accident off on the shoulder, though.
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 8: And mass transit actually in pretty good shape with the
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 8: commuter rails. Subways still going to have some issues. A
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 8: lot of them, actually. The 1, the A, the E,
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 8: the F, the L, N, R, W, and the Rockaway Shuttle.
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 8: Traffic is sponsored by Apple Bank, now at the highest
